Also in without mercy, because Kate is without mercy, she is merciless in how she treats people. >> Okay, well that is what I was saying. >> Hold on, we're going to get to that, but before we do, we are going to tell you that this is the September 3rd NXT post show. We are creeping closer to that CW debuts there, loading things up for that card creatively. Some choices that were made to get there, but get in your super chats, get in your home for chats, please leave a thumbs up on this video and as always, we're going to tell you all about the great things that are happening on FightfulSelect.com. Me and Alex doing pay-per-view post shows by in the paywall, so $5 gets you access to that plus all of the biggest scoops in the world that Warner deal is coming. There's contract news, but also Alex. >> Yeah. >> You find out the character of people on FightfulSelect.com. >> Yes, you do, you do find that out. >> Let's roll the clips. >> What, what? >> It's on Ross App, and you have been served. You are being taken to Fightful Court for the crimes in which you have committed. You are being taken to Fightful Court. What crimes have I committed allegedly? >> You, you, after doing a wonderful deed and selling a great sponsorship package, got on to my profile and assumed wrongfully that I had way too many graphics on my profile and you needed to free up space. >> Well, surprise, surprise, I don't have a bunch of silly bullshit on my profile. I have real man shit like this. And now, wait, I used to have real man shit like that on my profile, but I don't anymore because somebody deleted it. >> Don't talk to anybody. I'm now acting as your attorney, however, you're, you're in a lot of, you're in some deep water here because, because here's the deal, the, the actual, the, the actual damages have already occurred. The night that, that Mr. Sapp was looking for the, the picture of a man with a very large head wearing a leather jacket and a wrestling ring. >> Ever. >> Look at, the chat is really bearing, Alex, I'm being a terrible lawyer, which I -- >> I mean, I listen, I'm just, I'm just telling you that I'm just telling you the truth. >> I was, sincerely, I appreciate the work that you do, Kate, you are fucked. >> Wow. >> You are so fucked. >> I just wanted to let people know that on FightfulSlack.com, there's a lot happening, so you should probably subscribe, but here on this show, you're gonna get my legal response, okay? So, I'm gonna say, I'm sorry, I had to jump Alex as my counsel, it was inadequate, I had to make some moves, but we're gonna talk about that more later. I just wanted everyone to have a heads up about what I've been dealing with as a member of Fightful. So, in that vein, legal puns tonight, courtroom puns, things along those lines, okay? >> I noticed conveniently that you edited all of my very good legal advice down to one clip where I'm rambling, because I'm trying to gather my thoughts, making me look bad in the process. >> The rest of it was you just being accusatory toward me, really, my God. >> I was assessing the facts as they were presented to me in a legal affidavit by Mr. Roth Sapp. Legal affidavit, I have yet to see documentation, but I lawyered up properly. So, we've got a lot to talk about on NXT tonight, get in, get in your legal puns, get in your superchats, get in your helperchats, we had Chelsea Greed on the show, we had Lyre about period of return for reasons, Julia has arrived, we got a lot to talk about, and if you want to know what I was dealing with from my legal counsel before, he won't even do the PD challenge. >> No, I won't, because you know why that song's a lie, the whole damn thing, your musical career won Trickster Williams is built on a throne of lies. >> I don't even fully know what it is, I think you're just supposed to do dances with suspenders and a newsy cap on, devastated, I don't have a newsy cap, but very excited to clear my name legally later in the show, and also to get into this episode, Alex, as we head toward the CW era. >> Yeah, all right, here's the thing that's actually the saddest about all this is that they're really trying to make NXT seem like a good program heading into its debut on the CW, and I'm kind of in shock, and I don't know how to handle it. Like some of the stuff is nonsensical, and some of the dialogue is still terrible, but they're like, here are all of these big matches, they're here, take them, take all the matches here, and they're like, oh, these two guys seem to have had a problem on the outside of this match earlier in the night, we're not going to make you wait three weeks to see the finish of that, we're going to have that match now, and I'm not used to all of this. >> It was? >> Where is my normal terrible NXT review show, where they take forever to get to stuff and I get to make fun of it. >> Don't worry, I'm sure that will be back, I'm sure they will be back, cuz- >> I hope it goes back to being the terrible old show that it used to be so I could make fun of it, cuz I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. >> Yeah, if it's all good and stuff, that's going to be terrible, but they do still have, it was nice to have today feel a bedful, right? It was nice that things have been done today's episode coming out of a pay-per-view and into or peeling into the CW era, this should have been a table setting episode and it was, there was also some very dumb stuff, and I gotta say, I don't, I don't assume anybody in WWE watches this, I really don't. >> Right, right. >> But if a single person does, can they please inform the rest of the crew, that women do not just stand around to the semicircle and talk like that? >> I mean, but who's to say, you know, honestly, like? >> I don't feel comfortable saying anything at all right now. >> Okay. >> Someone else is backstage and I've been advised not to speak on any issues, but I do have to inform him of some, some developments based on, hi Sean. >> How's it going guys? >> It's going well because I feel like I'm, I'm able to make some proper moves and I don't want to say much anymore, but I have someone who can speak on my behalf. [MUSIC] >> Ladies and gentlemen, I am Smart Mark Sterling, the most famous professional wrestling lawyer and I am here to make a statement on behalf of my client in the light of the recent legal action taken against my client, Ms. Kate Fabe, we've been left no choice but to countersuit. I apologize, but we've got to do it, okay? Here are the points, number one, theft of joy, all right? Limiting shows to just two hours, come on, what are we doing here, all right? Number two, breaking and entering as Kate never opened the door and left Sean in, okay? And number three, tampering with the format of Kate and Alex's reviews that will not be tolerated around here, all right, Mr. Sapp, you have 24 hours to respond. >> Call 4.7, Smart 40 to speak to Sterling, operators are standing by. >> You know, this is only the second time I've had the threat of a lawsuit this week. And something tells me it won't be the last. I mean, I don't really want to say anything more about the situation, but who speaks Spanish as well. I think said everything that needed to be said, so I would wrestling lawyer up if I were you, Sapp. >> Well, a little bit of a reverse, who know here, Kate? You know, there's no way he's going to be allowed to represent you, right? There's zero chance, like you understand the conflict here, attorney under AEW contract, trying a case involving a certain WWE bobblehead. There is no way that will actually make it to court. You messed up big time, Kate, you just showed all your cards. There's zero chance he'll even be allowed to say that guy's name on the show. >> Did you ever consider that maybe I have forbidden door power? >> No, absolutely not. Maybe you should, this is an NXT review show, and he's already representing me, I've already paid him a pretty penny. If there's a conflict there, that's going to be an entirely different thing, but he's already agreed to take the case. >> Pinnies literally aren't worth what they're printed on now. >> I think that he knows wrestling legal a little better than you dare quote journalist Sean Ross out. >> If it's smart Mark, he probably literally said put a penny in my pocket and all of a sudden I'm your lawyer, he's one of those guys. >> I have only had really positive interactions with him if I don't get my money back. My trial is free, and I don't want it to get to this point. But if I have to switch counsel, Luca Crucipino has very different methods. So I will pursue those if I need to, but. >> What? Do you have any idea the lawyers that I know? >> I know Stephen P. New, he's a buddy of mine, like if I gotta go there. >> I mean, I know Tommaso Ciampa, he represented Muhammad Hassan, and we know how great that ended up. >> That did turn out very, very favorably. I've risked a lot. >> He was on TV for multiple weeks after that. So it worked out great. >> It definitely had an outcome for sure. So look, this is my move. This is my legal move. Smart Mark said you had 24 hours to respond. I think the smart thing to do is settle for, you know, like half of Fightful Select and your cat. >> Yeah, by the way, listen, subscribe guys, best $5 in the business. Just today, Corey Brennan was out there smacking dingers, and not the kind that you'll be smacking when you use Blue to, but had a whole bunch of stuff on tonight's NXT. It's the whole bunch. Last night, we told you Braun Strowman filling in for, for Bronson Reed, Sammy Zane starting a feud with Goonther. We had news today on top merch sellers, on Raw producers, Giselle Shaw, granted her TNA release, and actually a story in which isn't so pleasant to talk about, the Odyssey Joan situation, which I will be talking about momentarily. But any further updates on that situation will obviously not be behind a pay wall for obvious reasons, but have a lot of stuff over on Fightful Select.com, best $5 in the business. Or you can subscribe $54 a year. We're looking, we might be adding a couple shows there, I know Corey's talked about doing a UK based show, and might have some stuff going on there, but we did get a lot of questions about Odyssey Jones, and I was sort of piecing things together. Instead of having you guys kind of prompt me for this, I'll just kind of vomit out the info. I did the same with Alex last night, Alex heard about a lot of the information that we had. So I think it was Sunday night, I had a source reach out and say, you should ask about what shifted with Odyssey Jones, and I said, that's interesting. And Alex had also noted this on the post Raw show. They didn't mention him by name last week, and he wasn't on the show. Well, not only was he not at yesterday's Raw, he was not at last week's Raw either. And there were some little playful tweets from Xavier, like I didn't call this, talent didn't know. I just want to make this clear, talent had no idea, they had no reason to believe anything. His own friends didn't really know up until today. I can tell you this, I have reached out to WWE as well as Odyssey and heard back in a pretty minimal sense in regarding what I can say. But I have not been able to confirm with WWE that he's been released. That's what people believe. I have not been able to confirm that he's released. However, this is due to domestic violence allegation. I know it's from somebody he was in a relationship with. And again, as always, we need to say this, there will be further action that taken and further research done on this situation. There have been people irresponsibly saying that he got arrested. Let me tell you, on Monday, I was checking all that and I saw that an Omari Palmer was arrested. However, it wasn't him. I called the place he got arrested at, different guy, completely different guy. I would imagine Odyssey is going to try to see this through. And probably if he is released, probably try to get his job back, probably try to fight what's going on here. But it is domestic violence allegation related. Worked wrestling actually brought an account to my attention that had levied some allegations towards him and in showing that to somebody in WWE, that was what was able to get me to get them to kind of, I wouldn't say confirm, but confirm that that's what it was related to, or at least a situation similar to that. He hasn't talked to many people, but that's the long and short of the situation right now and it's very unfortunate. And it's one of those situations where you hope it didn't actually happen. Like you hope it's a horrible, you know, misconstruing of things, but that's what it is related to. And you feel for anybody that may have gotten hurt in that situation because that is that type of thing, inexcusable, nothing, nothing makes that okay. But yeah, man, like that's, that's where they are on that and I'm very careful with how I use my words because also from a legal perspective, we have to cover this in a responsible way. But that is, that's what's going on. He has not factored in any creative plans. They have not confirmed to me that he has been released or anything of that nature. Well, there you go. Yeah. Well, guys, except for Kate, I want to say thank you to all of you. Oh, hey, do we get the like the shapes for the cameras? Has that changed here yet? Yeah, I got that. Yeah, we got that. Yeah, I got that notification from StreamYard. Like, wait, can I do like a circle? What's going on? I don't know. Where's the? I do this. Well, you can. You can. Trying to come up with a good bit, subscribe to FightablesLike.com because any further updates from my end will be behind the paywall, okay? See, they did this right after I started to do my interviews like that. And I did that to make it easier for the guy that does our shorts to get a vertical shot. Right. Yeah. There you go. Yep. All right. I just want to know how to change the shape. What are you all doing? Y'all got a time limit or something? Yeah. Yeah. Pending. Like, I'm also logged in. I do what I want, okay? I'm out here suing people, doing the PD challenge. Nobody's having fun with me today. Not a single one. Not a single one. That's right. Well, we have a lot of things about the legal battle that you find yourself embroiled in. Jambeard says, "I feel like Smart Mark should face SRS in the court of GCW in a courtroom street fight." He's definitely going to be facing Smart Mark in some regard. I don't know if it'll be in a squared circle or in anything to do with GCW, but I think my stance is pretty clear at this point. Yeah. Jimmy Pringles says, "Stirling is past the bar in all states, territories and wrestling companies." Yeah. And Alpha Bill says that he will be subscribing to Kaitful for legal fees. Thank you very much. I appreciate that because Smart Mark costs a pretty penny. Mr. Showtime says, "Hashtag free Kate." Thank you. No, no, you're supposed to wait until several months after she's already been freed like they do with Otis and his new t-shirt. Jambeard says, "What kind of lawyer is Alex, horse or mafia or other?" Apparently not, just not a lawyer. Alpha Bill says, "My client will not entertain these charges." Yeah. Thank you, Alpha Bill. I appreciate your support. You can be co-counsel with Smart Mark. I appreciate that. JW Pringle says, "SRS tells lies, JW Pringle Esquire, southern gentleman lawyer offers his services. I will happily co-chair with Alex in case Smart Mark reveals himself to be the ambulance chaser that we all know he actually is." Well, hold on. Perhaps that the team of JW Pringle, your own brother and your best friend, maybe together have your best interests at heart. I can only go off of what you said to me that Faded Monday Night where Sean served me my papers. Okay? Mm-hmm. And I was not satisfied with my representation that day. You said you are in deep water and later you said I was in hot water. You don't even know what kind of water I meant. It's deep hot water. I'm sorry. Water can be both things. The depth of the water does not negate the temperature of the water. Those two things can be mutually exclusive. If it's boiling hot, that water is going to shrink because it's going to, all the steam is going to- That's how deep the water is. The boilingness did not shrink how deep it is. Come on, people. Uh, Laponky Vice is overall. You look both look fabulous today. Oh, thank you. It's the PD Challenge suspenders that my co-host also put the spit in. Jambeard says we need a star white for when Kate kicks someone off the stream. Oh, yes. That would be fun. That would be very fun. Yeah. Uh, and Jambeard says F the bangles. Yeah. So, hope- hope Sean's watching wherever he is. Um, Kate, as I said, going into this thing, um, it's weird when NXT, uh, is- It at least feels like things are happening now. Yes. And it's somewhat logical order. Some of the things are utter nonsense. Yes. And I believe all of the matches had some form of inner interference or post match beatdown or stuff. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Cause they should end once. Shenanigans. So, they should, they should hand over and over and over and over again. So, yes, that is bad. And now no one, no one, no one is excusing that. However, at least they're like, this is a major angle. We're paying it off next week. Um, like it, it doesn't feel like it usually, they, they draw things out for too long. Remember when Von Wagner first started hinting and he might have something to hide from Robert Stone and, uh, that thing lasted from the last week of January until friggin' November. Like, so, you know, like they usually take way too long to tell stories. They are motoring through some of these things, which is good to see. Maybe they want to have a clean slate for the old CDub, you know. I would assume that's the case. There are still things lingering out there like they've built a lot into this Briggs and Jensen thing, and it feels like that is so... Briggs, Briggs is still, isn't he still in Japan? He can't do anything until he's back from Japan. But, like, you had a madman in Jensen running around. Like a madman. Right, but now, but now he's sensitive and he's, um, he's being, uh, lied to, guessed it by, um, uh, spears in a sling. Like, some of things like that. Yeah. Could it be. Like, that angle was so hot when he came back in, I felt like, and now it... Oh, but they, they, they screwed that up so long ago. Yeah, they, they re-ended it to the ground. Um, so there are still things that need to, to kick into high gear, but I was encouraged by the fact that they did some things tonight that made sense, but they also did some things that made no sense. Like, out of left field, what the heck stuff. Um, no, Louise, Louise is here, Louise is on, Louise is here, right? Yes. Yes. So we have access to humper chats. Yes. So yes. Super chats. Soupies and humpees. Soupies and humpees are both available. We do. We read both soupies and humpees. Um, so, um, the thing that came, came across earlier today, that they mentioned many times during this particular thing, is Jordan Grace has laid out an open challenge next week. And I, again, I was like, you know, oh, you know, for the, for the CW, first, first show, uh, on the first of October and like, no, next week, I'm like, oh, wow. And then I realized that somehow it's, uh, it's equally, yeah, it's WWE, uh, WWE week or whatever, but it looks like equally because the way that they've put, put the thing together with WWE, um, but it's, so it's equally next week and, um, and because Raw is still on USA and NXT is still on USA for a very limited time and they're just adding SmackDown to USA that Friday, it's equally next week and, uh, so they're going to load up NXT with that. So Jordan Grace is going to do an open challenge and I just, I just hope it's, you know, somebody that makes sense and the match is good. That's what, that's all I, that's all I hope about, you know, so, yeah, I, I'm intrigued to see if it's someone that has been kicking around or if it's someone debuting, like if, like cause Delta versus Jordan Grace, yes, please, but it would be weird if somebody incoming, the first thing they did was challenge for the TNA title. So like, yeah, and then what do you, what do you do? Do you do a similar finish to the trick and, and done one next week? Because I don't want Delta to come in and take a loss to Jordan Grace who's not even on the show. She's going to be on. You know what I mean? Like, and I certainly don't want, I mean, that we're, Delta comes in and beats Jordan Grace for the TNA, for the TNA knockouts style. So yeah, it should be somebody who's, who's a, who's a firm member of the roster who feels like they deserve to have the shot, but I, I don't know exactly who that is. We're also assuming it's from NXT. That might be like a main roster drumming of excitement into the CW air, I would be. Crap. Then do that. Then do your thing. Hey, you know what, WWE week, it's a week, um, uh, the entire week. If you're going to do that, Jordan Grace, come, go to Raw and do a double, an open challenge. If it's going to be a raw superstar, go to SmackDown, do your open chons there. If you're going to NXT, you're doing an open challenge. It better be somebody from the NXT roster, or I will be very mad online about it. [LAUGH] >> My God, Alex is going to get upset on the internet, if that's case. I could see him doing it to spike ratings going into the big first show. >> I know, I could see it doing that, but I will also be very mad about it. >> Yes, I will also, I don't know if I'd be so mad, but I would be unhappy on the internet about it for sure. >> I would be furious if it's not somebody from the NXT roster. >> Okay. >> Furious. >> Yeah. >> I mean, that is hot and deep water that they would be in that. >> The hottest and the deepest. [BLANK_AUDIO] >> Very excited for Jordan Grace to defend. I love the inter-promotional stuff, like the creative hasn't been perfect, but the fact that it's happening is just so healthy for wrestling, and it makes you really happy. And Jordan Grace is an absolute megastar, so- >> She is. >> We will see who, it's kind of also nice not knowing logically who's going to answer the open challenge, because so many times I feel like the hand is tipped with that. And I don't know, I don't know who they're going to choose. Could be like Soul Ruka, it could be Roxanne again, because of reasons. You know what I mean, they could do a lot, so we will see. But that is an exciting development for sure. >> Ryan Chikini says, would you rather Delta face Jordan Grace in the open challenge, or have her do an OBA and destroy the breakout journey, the second one. If those are my only two options, the second one, 1 million percent of the time. Because I don't want to do a Delta versus Jordan Grace thing where one of them has to lose. Or you do a fake double count out or a DQ or something. Like Delta should come in and start squashing people, I don't know why we would do the Delta. Other than it would be a great match, sure it would, but also it makes no sense. But then again, that is what I'd like to do, so. >> Well the question was what do we want, not what we'll say too. >> True. >> So those don't always align. >> But I actually think Delta and the breakout tournament would be a great way to introduce her. Because I don't necessarily think everybody follows the Australian independent wrestling scene extremely closely. So I think for people to be able to get a sample of what a megastar she's going to be. That would be a great way to have her come in. >> Yeah, well Chisholm says if she didn't lose to Roxanne, I would love Jade at a face Jordan Grace. Hell, if she didn't just get a- >> Passion, drive, and patience.

King supers, fresh for everyone, fuel restrictions apply. For ass kicked by after her match by the fatal influencers, then that would be a really good shout-to. But Jada is a really great option, but 100% Jada, please. Not my ribs hurt Jada. Sure. You know? Whoever faces her should be 100%, you know, whatever they are. Solruka would be an amazing thing. Yeah. Because the match would be excellent. Solruka can take a loss to Jordan Grace. They'll like shake hands afterwards. It'll be fun. Solruka would probably be my pick unless you want to force it to be like a heel to face Jordan Grace, in which case, Fallon Enley. Somebody like that. Sure. You know, like Solruka would be my pick. She's not really, she's not even really kicking around in the story right now, right? So I feel like Solruka knows, she's not, honestly. Yeah, I think that would be a good choice. I think that would be a good choice. Um, so Jambeard says, I know he's going to answer Jordan to be one of the influencer ladies. And it probably will. That's possible. And that's honestly, if it's like J.C. Jane, or Fallon Henley, that's not the worst. Yeah. I feel like J.C. Jane has earned a moment like that. Yes, sure. And hasn't really gotten to show off. Yeah. So, um, as somebody asking, is Nikita cleared? Is Cora Jade cleared? I don't know about either one of those things. A return might be interesting. A debut, preferably no. Yeah, just because of the idea that they'd have to lose. Like, I think that's very, very fair. Cora, I think it's still a ways away. But Nikita, I have no idea. Actually, it might be a good Cori question. Trick came out to cut a promo. Thankfully, he did not subject us to his lie of a song that he cut. Well, hold on. Go ahead, ruin everything. No, no, no. Well, no, why don't you go ahead and do your, do your, do your disparagement, pity, done dance, or whatever it is. Look, I don't even know what the dance is, and I definitely don't think I could do it like in this tiny little frame. But I put it on my suspenders just for this moment. Trick released a diss track, if you missed it. It was terrible. Yes. Going around. And I just sometimes just got to throw on the old suspenders and has been fun about it. Not if, not if the song is a lie. He says, you can't beat me, Petey. Petey already beat you, as clean as a whistling sheet in the middle of the ring. You can't sing a song. You can't beat me, Petey. She freaking did. What a lie. Distracts are supposed to be like the most accurate, intensive thing. In the sea, Sean Spears, not the only NXT superstar to gaslit people this week. Because Trick Williams doing a lot of that on his social medias. I'm just saying, like, you can't beat me again? Fine. You can't beat me. That doesn't really flow, Alex. Well, I don't know. Change the measure or whatever. Spit some fire bars. I don't know what the kids talk with their hippity-hoppities, okay? This is why I had to fire you as my counsel, because you can't handle a lie. And I'm gonna probably need someone that can bed their truth, which is not your forte. Listen. Get Petey challenged. I mean, but I don't want to do the Petey challenge. I like Petey done. He's a very good wrestler. He is never like always better than him. As evidenced by the fact that he has already beaten Trick Williams once. Not how this tracks work, I don't think. Wilchism says rappers lying in their songs never LOL. See, that guy's on my side. Rappers never lie. All of the things said by the notorious big, I'm sure. We're always- They were notoriously true. Like the notorious big, yes. They were notoriously accurate, yeah. Yes, and listen, if- listen. Yo. I think it would be some kind of slander to suggest that Mr. Mix-A-Lot did not, in fact, like Big Butts. He says in the refrain, "I cannot lie." So if I am going to be- I'm so- so sue me, Trick Williams, for judging you up against Sir Mix-A-Lot, who cannot lie. I mean, really picking the pinnacle of the rap world with Sir Mix-A-Lot, so I don't even think that's a fair comparison. Because I think most people will revere him as the goat, but- I don't even know what we're doing here, Kate. We have the best review show. Thank you, Aaron. There you go. Oh my God. Luis says, "Considering the heavy Jay-Z influence on the diss track, he was also lying a lot like Jay-Z did when he did a diss track on Nas back in the day, LOL." Says- so Luis. See? No, you're rap. So anyway, he decides he's going to say some- some stuff, and just peek down, come out, and like, want to fight him from the first beginning. And I was like, "Oh, we're getting this now." And they're like, "Oh, no, they're just going to fight off in our main event." And I was like, "Okay, cool." So they're going to brawl a lot during this thing, and eventually we'll get to them. Okay, cool. But they just decided that we're going to do it in the middle of the show instead. I kind of love peed on being like, "Oh, you're on the locker room? I'm going to mess you up in the locker." Like, it doesn't have that like obsessive thing. It has that- I'll just- I'll just fight you wherever I want, thing. True. "Dama Valley backing me up here. Not only can he not lie, it makes a lot is knighted. Queen Elizabeth II. Place the soldier, a sword on that man's shoulders. And says, "Rise, sir, mix a lot." That a fantastic documentary on Netflix about that. Hold on, it's the- Oh, I thought you hated lying. Is the video quiet? Am I quiet? There's new stuff here they have with- No, I should be fine. I don't know. I don't know what's going on here. I don't know either. You sound good to me. Okay, good. Good. I just wanted to make sure. We only live to pop ourselves and adjust our volume for our- True. True, good. Fantastic, good. So, um, Galis is arguing with Hank and Tank before their match about stuff on their way to the ring. And Jada Parker walks in and she says, "See, now that's why I told my boys not to get involved with that." I loved that. I loved that so much. If she turns into the female Kevin Owens finding the holes in plot lines and filling them on her own, she will be my new favorite wrestler. Jada Parker, I was like, "Why didn't?" I said this last week. Didn't OTM like start like John with Hank and Tank like two weeks ago? Why aren't they involved in this thing? And Jada Parker takes it upon herself to say, "I told my boys not to get involved in all that. That's great. Everyone should have license to do that. To fill the little loopholes, man." Be still my heart with that. And she's also a very natural talker. Like, you know, when you just like say stuff to yourself kind of under your breath? That's just what this was. It was like, these people are actually foolish. I'm not going to, this is why I told them not to get involved. Like, love, love, love, love, love, all of that. Very effective. One line. Then she's walked up upon by the fatal influencers who try to clown her for losing versus Roxanne. And she's like, she says to Jasmine, "Why are you writing all their coattails for clout?" And she was like, and then Valen says, "Ooh, this kitten's got claws, rare." And I was like, "What 2002 high school movie written by a 45 year old white guy? Did you get that line from but okay, whatever?" They need to work on how women interact and stand and talk. I feel like some of these ones, like I honestly, like, J.C. Jane has just embraced this so much that I feel like it's pretty intentional at this point because she she came through this era where there were no options except for back stages like this. But like, this just doesn't help people talk to each other like the women talk. No. It felt like if my sorority sisters were told that they had to write a sketch for some dumb pledge weekday or something, like it was so just not how human beings talk. But like she's really, we've talked about it that like the feud with her and J.G. didn't really push anybody forward, but she has been like one of their most consistent and reliable people that they've had there. They seem to have dropped like the rookies side of this entirely. Like now they're just more of a heel stable. So there's that. Yep. Oh, for Bill saying, who is this venomous seduction? What are we doing? I don't know. What does that reference do? I don't know if that is. Venomous seduction? What's the name of this fatal? Fatal, fatal influence? Fatal influence might, might be that. Perhaps. That seems almost more toxic attraction. Venomous seduction. Yeah. Oh, that's it. There you go. Say toxic attraction. There we go. He's flipped around. There we go. Thank you very much for the bill. Now I get it. I am slow today. But anyway, she agrees to face Jasmine Nix in a match later this evening. And what will wind up being the in-ring wrestling main event of the night? Yes. We had our NXT Tag Team Championship, which involved multiple unrelated people getting involved on the outside for no apparent reason. God, it's it's already a multi tag team match. Yeah. Like I was like, I kind of felt like I could just jump in at some point. It's like Javon Evans. What is he doing here? I know. Hank and Take, they will never make me hate you. Like there was, I can say this here. I will never say it on Twitter. Like if you are someone that thinks the Young Bucks stink for their choreographed execution, the amount of synchronized wrestling that we got from Hank and Take in the middle of this was a lot. I loved it. And I don't have a problem when the Young Bucks do those spots either. But I was like, oh no, Jim Cornette is going to have an annualism if he sees this. They're very, very fun. I really liked them as a duo. But this was one of, they were N for N on how many matches we're going to have interference. Or like beat down and stuff. It felt like an AEW go home. Like a little bit crowding everything up. Yeah. So at one point, Joe Coffey gets up on the apron and starts yelling at somebody in the middle of the ring. And Javon Evans, like in order for Javon Evans to be where he was, when he was, he would have had to come out from the back while Joe Coffey was still standing on the floor before he ever got up on the apron. Joe Coffey got up on the apron and less than a second later, he was pulled off the apron by Javon Evans who wasn't out there for the match. He was just, he came out as a response to Joe Coffey getting involved, but it couldn't have been unless he was already like sitting in the stands munching on popcorn. He's a very fast young man, but he's not that fast. Yeah. And because of that particular thing happening, then Luke Gallows and Carl Anderson go the hell back to SmackDown, come out and they end up ruining things for Hank and Tank so that the the rascals can capitalize and get a victory. So it's going to be the rascals. Remember when we asked when is when it's only a matter of time, will Wesley stop them from getting the number one contendership or will Wesley stop them from winning the tag titles? So they chose option B and that's going to happen next week. Again, another match, I just figured they were going to do on the CW premiere, but I think that's when they're going to do the the Wesley versus Zachary Wentz rematch maybe or maybe it'll be Wesley versus Trey Miguel. I don't know, but next week for sure because Zach Wentz and Trey Miguel have a tag title shot next week. That's when Wesley will show up and that is when he will cost them their tag titles. That is correct. This match was fun before everybody's third cousin came to the family reunion, but this was way too much. It happened very quickly to your point, but I'm not totally surprised. This kind of had like an F finish. I will say if you're not finishing the way you want to, if you're finishes when you're F finger, you get it. You get what I'm doing, right? I think you blew chew main event performance, main event confidence and a main event deal. Go to bluechew.com and use the code Fightful and you will get blue chew with their first shipment for free shipment. Yeah, yeah, I said shipment. No waiting in line at the pharmacy, no awkward doctors visits. You take their online exam and then if approved, it ships straight to your door. That's right. Same act of ingredients as Viagra and Cialis, but in a chewable form and much more affordable. How can you pass up on this? How can you pass up on that confidence?

Just get that additional performance. Bluechew.com and the code Fightful. Now you dance. I'm not dancing. I play an air base. It's a big difference. I would never dance. Hence why I didn't do the PD challenge. If the PD challenge was playing the air base, that's right. Three separate dance performances by me on the No Mercy post show. And you know who to enjoy the single one of them? Not even the exciting bet on line jingle, which is so much fun. This guy, but but rockin' and rollin' on the air base. There you go. Good. All right. We are unhinged. We shall remain so forever. Honestly, I don't know if we are unhinged because that implies that we were hinged and we became unhinged. I don't know if we were ever hinged. Yeah. I think there's a lack of a door. There were never hinges here. It's just like a hallway. We should not call ourselves on hinge. We should call ourselves a hallway. That is what we are. There's no hinges. So anyway. They interviewed the blurry boys after the match. I'm just saying, we're raising a very good point before we move down to our first episode. What was most stressed up as a general? We've always been the hallway. Yep, it's true. It's true. It's damn true. So the rascals interrupted right after their match. They're not the rascals anymore, Alex. We're not? No, because they all broke up. What's the team of Magellan and Wins called? MSK? No, that was Wesley and them. So I thought... Wasn't the rascals the three of them? Well, I mean, I don't know. When somebody... Listen, when David Lee Roth left Van Halen and they brought in Sammy Hagar, they were still Van Halen. You know what I mean? But were they? They weren't. Honestly, they were not. They were called the rascals tonight. Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. I feel like they should rebrand. Anyway, they said that they're coming after the titles, and they're like, "Hey, you guys are really good, but you're not going to beat us next week." Well, we're on the same page, but you guys aren't, because a month and a half ago, you were both in the speed tournament, so how could you say you're on the same page? Nathan Frazier says the guy with the singles championship. I don't know. I think just let four really fast guys wrestle until Wesley gets involved. We don't need to make this and do a thing. So this isn't it, Picky, even for us. But like, what do they... I know they want a contentorship match, so that for normal people would be enough. But what am I, if not abnormal? What do they want with the NXT Tag Championships? They want to bring them to TNA. They said we want to bring them to TNA. Okay, okay, that's fair. It feels... It very much feels like there's unfinished business with Wesley, but I guess if Zach went one, that's fair, because they should think it settled even if it's not. Okay, I'll take it back. I rescind my nitpicks. I put... I mean, honestly, what it should be is that they should win them and then take them to TNA and they should do... Because it's still ABC, the TNA Tag Champs, I think so. Chris Bay and whatever the... Ace Austin? Yes, ABC, yes. Yeah, they should do a two-falls thing with three teams. The winner of the first fall gets the TNA titles and the winner of the second fall gets the NXT titles and the three teams are ABC, this new Rascals, and Glory Boys. Glory Boys will then win the NXT titles back and then you'll have the Rascals beat ABC to become the new TNA titles. Like, do something fun, do something fun with this crossover thing as opposed to, hey, I'm here and I'm gonna lose a match. AKA Rosemary, so... AKA Joandry, AKA. Most of the way this goes. Yeah, easiest one, two, three, I would say. Jambeard says the new Rascals in TNA was Wentz, Trey and Myron Reed, AKA Killer Kelly's Bow, and congratulations to Bow to Bow to Bow. Yes, very happy. That's awesome, that's awesome. So, Lexus King defeated Oromensa in a match about whose father was more dead. I don't much... I don't... Is Oromensa's father dead or did he like, I forget what that story was he had with being, because I know it was a story about his father and they were like Nigerian in Switzerland or something. I'm just not sure if... Anyway, the... That's very Christian of you. The finish happened because, yes, not the religion. Lexus King started talking crap about Oromensa's dad and he reacted in a way that made me think, "Is Oromensa's dad dead? Was that part of the story? I forget." So, it is... Yes, they should have burned your father. They should have burned your father to ashes, I believe is what he said. And I was like, "Yes, I would also be very angry about that." So, they... So, then Oromensa starts getting really angry and the referee's like, "Hold on, now you can't fight him that hard." And then it winds up with Lexus King doing the roll up with his feet on the ropes, and... And last legend is standing there going, "Well, I have no defense for this. I just have to wait and watch my friend get pinned by this man who said they should have burned his father to ashes." Like, you're standing out there, movies feed off the ropes. What are we doing, last legend? Come on! I might be one-eating on Lexus King. He might be my favorite wrestler. What? I'm being silly. What on earth? Like, how do we go from a feud that's like, "I don't know. I like the rock and roll music. Not the beat boob stuck. They should have burned her father." Who is Lexus King? Like, "Oh, this to God. This a character." What does somebody, when they're writing for Lexus King, like, "Oh, who is this?" Like, that's not the same guy. That's not the same guy. There were two places tonight, one with over family that went to. Kate, your piece is your right. Kate, it must be going for an insanity defense with statements like that. I'm sorry. Even though the "I'm kidding." I don't know if you were kidding. Anybody who can conjure up with the words to form the sentence, "Llexus King, might, oh, I can't even quote you. I can't even quote you. My mouth won't form those words. You've got to be that crazy, honestly." I am sports entertained for all the wrong reasons. Like, what? This guy who literally was like, "Not the beat boob music is like we should have burned her." Not the beat boob music. Let's have a really brutal feud where I break your hand and then you move on to white knighting the ladies being hit on by Ashanti the Adonis. Like, listen, this is why NXT will never be good enough for us to stop clowning it because what the hell has happened? Like, it feels like that was two weeks ago that they were doing this feud about like beat boops and hair metal. The new man. And now Lexus King is doing this weird thing where he's got to like say horrible things to our omenza about his father in the middle of a match. Why Eddie Thorpe is like, "Hey, Ashanti the Adonis, I think you should leave her alone." And that's his new thing that he's doing right now. Yeah. Um, just gimmick infringement on Christian Cage, it feels like a little bit. But uh, this, that was alarming. That was alarming. Louisa, so we finally got BPJ feeling the effects of being roasted by Christian Cage three years later. No. That's kind of it. Yeah. That's kind of it. Okay, so the worst thing in the world happened. I would get the beginning of the show. We were like, it was a better episode. Like, things moved along at least. We're like, the worst thing in the world happened. I, I regret to inform all of the Obafeminists out there that Oba himself is not a feminist. Um, this was really heartbreaking. Not because I think this is how Obafemi actually thinks. He loves his mother far too much for that. Yes, we've seen that live. However, what the hell are we doing? This is the same impulse that you had where you had, you decided we've got to make Gunther into this privileged, rich white boy, classist like who talks about Damien Priest being street trash. We don't know how to make a guy an effective heel without him being a chicken shit. And we don't want to do that with Gunther or Obafemi. So Lakes make him into a wholly objectionable human being. Just let him just let guys like Gunther and Oba smack the shit out of people. If they smack the shit out of people that we also like, we'll start to not like them. That's really simple. And they don't want to do that. So they have Oba come in there and I start talking trash to the family. And then a big Ange says something to him about how, you know, the Don's going to get a rematch. He's going to put you in your place. And he says big words from such a small woman. Hello, her name is big Ange. Yeah, that's small. And then he says, without even looking at her, you know, in some cultures, women are supposed to be seen and not heard. And I was like, what are you doing to my glorious boy, Oba? This is terrible. Don't do this. I hate it. There's a couple of good things about this one. I like that Tony Dee had something to, I'm assuming there was some sort of injury. It might not be a really bad one. He might have just rolled his ankle, but at no mercy, doesn't feel like he can get in the ring right away again. And I like there being a little bit of focus on, we haven't really seen a lot of focus on Big Ange, Adriana Rizzo. In this, since we had those like cold Rizzo vignettes, like we, she, she's had a couple more matches. And I'm wondering if that means that they're ready to give her some more push. Like if they're ready to make her a bigger focus in this act, which is a very good thing. And I like that Tony Dee felt like we did. It was pissed off about that and didn't like what was said. And I understand that their way of doing things is if a heel is getting too over, like we have to make them morally objectionable. Yeah. And it's just, there's other ways to make us not like him. And I feel like everybody in the world has talked about how this guy's a generational talent, if they want him to work heel. And I just feel like find a better way of doing it. I'm encouraged that the food with Tony Dee is being sustained because that means he's not like out, out, out. But this was just, this is the first time and the entire time that we've seen him, that it feels like they misstepped with him. And I hated this one. This was not like a bad booking decision. This was not him doing something that feels like, oh, that was out of character. That felt like, no, what are you doing? Don't have him be this guy. Yeah, that was awful. Yeah, that was brutal. And the worst thing on top of this is from a keel. He didn't need to say this line. The writers really don't understand his culture at all. Yeah. Nigerian culture. That is not how they view women. No, not even this. It's a matri... It's all basically a matriarchal...

And I feel like he's probably, I don't want to rock the boat guy. I'm still young. Sure. I'll say this time you tell me to say. And so it's like, but man, it sucks. It's, it really does. Like, it's not, it's not something he needed to say. It's, it's a completely extra thing. You know what I mean? Like, she's like, like, um, uh, he could, he could have said something backhanded. Like, you see, this one has fire, unlike the two of you. You know what I mean? Like, allow him to like, like, like, demeaning Luca and, and, and, and stacks. And maybe the stacks says, no boss, I'm going to handle this. Maybe stacks gets himself into it as opposed to Tony shows up and says, in my culture, if somebody says, um, says something like that to a woman, they get slapped in the mouth and he says, we'll do something about it. Stacks is going to, which makes Tony look weak. And then stacks looks at Tony like, I am. Okay. So like that does, if stacks does not like being belittled by Oba and he insists, I'm going to handle this. And Tony says, okay, you can do it. And then there's a different response during the match that we're going to talk about later, because Tony feels like I shouldn't, I shouldn't have let stacks get in there by himself. You could have done way more. You could have had Oba, like just powerbombing him over and over again to send a message. And that is the kind of feel he should be. Yes. He should be brutal and vicious, but he should not be like casually misogynistic. That's just dumb. Three in a row, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, I'm fixing looking at LOL. That's what we do. It's a compulsive tick from. I can't stop. But thank you for acknowledging that it would have been better, because I do think it would have been better. When I was watching it, I was like, something feels off here. I don't feel like this is true to any of the characters. Why would Tony be like, stacks is going to do it? Why would Tony be like that? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. No. And I, they are like obsessed with bringing people's culture into things and to do so so inaccurately with this felt really gross. Not really gross. So Galis is pissed off because Jevon Evans cost Mark Coffee and Joe Coffee, was our Mark Coffee and Wolfgang that they say the memorial dictatorship. And then Renson Claire decides to talk some crap. All right. You're going to have a match with Charlie. And if she's going to shut you up and Charlie's like, no, stop doing this. I loved this. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird, man. I love Ren. I love this like, because I think she means well, you know what I mean? Like I think right now, I think Renson Claire means well, and she's like, this whole group can do anything. And I like Charlie Dempsey being like, well, hold on. Yeah. Because this feels grounded in a way that nothing else on NXT feels grounded. But Renson Claire has such an exaggerated way about her that this whole combination of things I actually find very fun. And so Charlie is like, you can't just go around just giving title matches with my heritage cup to everybody. You've got to weigh the option. You've got to talk to them, find out their sales pitch, think about it for a second, and then come to a wise decision. Yes, that's what he tells her to do it. She says, okay. And then later, we'll talk about that when we get to that thing. So, Tatum Paxley has a match versus Rosemary with Wendy Chew at ringside. These three should be at Trio. Yeah, a lot more sense than the friggin thing they are doing. Rosemary and Wendy Chew and Tatum Paxley should be a trio going from from TNA to NXT and causing havoc wherever they go. They're really, really good together. I loved the idea of Tatum with Wendy Chew. I still don't know why Wendy Chew took out Tatum. That didn't make a lot of sense to me either. We still don't know why Wendy Chew is behaving wise. We don't know why Wendy Chew end of sentence. We don't know why Wendy Chew. I don't understand why they ever took that apart. Adding Rosemary to that duo would have been really interesting. Listen, here's something, I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm just spitballing here. But this type of trio deciding they're going to declare war on the fatal influencers, that's a trio. Oh, yeah, that would be awesome. You know what I mean? The girls who are the mean girls, but all of a sudden, they have these demons who've decided they don't like them. Like in everything they try and do, the demons show up to try and spook them out of here. And like Jasmine Nix is really scared of them. Like, that would be really fun. Especially JC Jain would know exactly how to play with that, I feel like. Yeah, that could be a lot of fun, but no, we've got to do a different thing with the influencers. And we've got to have Rosemary lose another match on NXT, I like Rosemary a lot. This was a fun match. Tatum Paxtley's way, she's really, really good. She really is. She's gotten a lot better. Here's a deal. I have really loved everything I've seen of her since she got out of that nonsensical storyline with Lara Valkiria. So, of course, after she wins this match versus Rosemary, a former TNA knockouts champion, she gets attacked by Wendy Chu and Rosemary and who shows up out of the friggin blue for no reason at all, Lara Valkiria comes to save Tatum Paxtley. And the last time we saw them in NXT together, they did not like each other one bit. Tatum like turned on Lara after stalking her for weeks without ever telling Lara or us why she was doing it. Then she told us after she attacked Lara, and it was a really cool promo that showed off all of Tatum's acting chops, and they had a match against each other. I think they had a triple threat where it was her and Lara versus Roxanne, and that feud kept going. And then all of a sudden, bye-bye Lara, you're going to the main roster, and Tatum has killed it and everything she's done since then without the terrible storyline of her and Lara hanging over her. And like, let's bring back Lara now, their friends again. And please tell me what the thinking is beyond that. And don't tell me to look at the terrible backstage thing that they wrote for them to do, or they try to be like, "Well, I know we hated each other before, but I've decided to forgive you for no reason. Let's have a tag match." Meanwhile, they apparently can't seem to figure out how to... Lara was off TV for literal weeks on Raw. For up for maybe months, it feels like forever since we saw Lara Valkiria on Raw. She finally shows up again last night and enters into a feud with her and Zelina Vega and probably Natty versus the PVC. Yeah. And then right then, right when she starts something brand new on Raw, that's when they bring her back to NXT for no reason. Why is everybody doing everything all at once? It's very weird that Lara Valkiria can only be defined by friendships. She has no other traits. Like, she just... She was Becky's friend, and then she was the TikTok her friends, the TikTok tag team's friends. And now, she has new main roster friends, and she has to come back for this friend who she's not really friends with. Like, give this woman a trait that isn't other girls. Like, it's a rampant, it's been her entire... Like, almost her entire 2024, it's looked like it is a disservice to her because she's got everything you want in the ring. I need to know, especially now that we're through the Lost Title match, I need to know, I think when did she was killing this angle? I think she's one of the best workers they've got. You throw a sleepy gal at her, you throw a 5,000 year old dragon lady at her. She knocks everything out of the park. So, this is now a reflection of her. She's one of the most talented women's wrestlers in the world. Why she's just acting this way now is something that I was losing patience for, and then I thought, well, after certainly after the title match, either way, we'll get something explaining why she's behaving this way, and we don't. The closest we got, which got blessed with Joseph for trying here, was him saying that they're she and Rosemary are both demons from two different realms, which was a good piece of commentary because it gave you context but left enough to the imagination that you can piece together what that kind of meant. But Tatum's come a very, very long way, a very, very long way. It's really good to see Rosemary's great. She's the perfect person to be crossing over brands, too. I feel like, because she's just so reliable, but man, I was, I'm glad Lyra Belkiri is on my screen. It's weird that she just wasn't, it is now on both of my screens, so that this is what she's coming back into. Like, I get the main roster crossover, but when you send people here that have been on the main roster for less than a year, it doesn't feel like main roster attraction coming back. She at least came into a story she was in, and so I'm just showing up, but like, in a very weird way. So this felt very, a lot of my complaints with NXT are always them trying to do more than they need to, and this was in that. Jambir says, what I was hoping for was Rosemary and Havoc versus Wendy and Tatum and a few that eventually had the four of them joined forces. That would have been cool, too. Yeah, Havoc should be mixed up in this. Jambir says, I didn't know Lyra hated PVC piping so much. Nor did I, nor did I, that's a weird feud. Lyra, last night said, hey, Selena, we're gonna be in Calgary next week, right? Hmm. I've got an idea, and it took her way too long to have the idea, because as soon as she said the word Calgary, I was like Nati. Nati, Natalia. So they're gonna be in Calgary next Monday, and then she's gonna catch a flight from Calgary to Orlando next week. That sucks. That's a terrible, that's a terrible, that's a terrible travel. That's a tough travel itinerary, right? That's a really terrible travel day. So Lyra is all, has just started doing the thing now that Pete Pete done has been doing for a while. Remember, I know you're gonna hate this, Kate, but everybody else in the chat loved it, so I'm gonna bring it up again. Remember how I was talking about how Ridge Holland is like a character in a video game who started the quest line for Sean Spears did two quests out of eight, and then said, I'm gonna leave that until later, and I'm gonna do all of the chase you quest line. That's what he did, because we, he stopped his thing with with with Sean Spears cold, didn't reference it again, did a whole thing with chase you. Pete done is a different kind of player playing a video game, where he just says, I'm good, there's two quest lines. I'm gonna do one mission from the first quest line, and then a second, and then one from the next quest line, and I'm just gonna alternate back and forth. Never do any of the characters from the quest line ever across paths, or even reference each other, but Pete done is doing both of them at the same time. Pete done has actively declared war on Sheamus on Mondays, and also separately through no related reason, declared war on Trick Williams on Tuesdays, and I feel like I don't understand why he's doing both both things at once. It doesn't make a lot of wouldn't like your focus be pulled from one to the other in ways you wouldn't want wouldn't you want to focus on what there's a reason why they didn't send the same guy to both the western and the eastern front during world war two, if we would be we would be spread too thin, you know what I mean? So that feels to me like I don't understand why he's got to decide he's gonna hit Sheamus at the back and have a whole thing. Next, Sheamus versus Pete done next week. Sheamus versus she has to fight Sheamus next week on Monday, and then fly from Calgary to Orlando to have a last man standing match with Trick Williams. That is that's death. What are we doing? Why are we doing that to poor Pete done? He's got a he's got to fight Sheamus and what's going to be a brutal match. Then catch a red eye from from Calgary to Orlando, have 20 minutes to get a drink of water, and then have a war with Trick Williams on Tuesday. Poor Pete done. What are we doing, man? Okay, real life scheduling aside, I can buy into that Pete done to plus to beat people up because that's who Pete done is. I think I've said this before, like not everyone's that way, but Pete done's that way. And if they want to have him lose, that's a good way to protect him. Like I just went to war with Sheamus yesterday and he loses to trick. That's not bad. I don't hate your video game analogy. I hate that I don't get the video game analogy because the only video game I ever saw anybody play through was you playing Red Dead Redemption 2. And that's my only reference point. You're right. I'm sorry. Sheamus said it's war. I'm coming after you Pete. So he's going to be in the fatal four way next week where Sheamus is going to attack him with a Shalalie during the match. So he's going to get a Shalalie to the back a couple of times and then get on a red eye. So he's not going to have the match with Sheamus next week. He's going to be in a different one where Braun Strowman is involved, probably take the pinfall during it. And then he's going to fly to Orlando to have a last man standing match with Rick Williams. A fatal four way also doesn't sound like I'm going to beat you down. That's too many. You know what I mean? That doesn't work. It's not like I'm coming after you. And also these other guys are there. That's not how that should work. But to get to the to the vast band standing match, Trick Williams and Pete Dunne couldn't hold back their anger anymore because one time Trick Williams asked Pete Dunne for advice and Pete Williams said Pete, Pete Williams. Wow. Pete Williams. He said an entirely different dude than Pete Dunne or Trick Williams. All three of them separate wrestlers. Trick Dunne also not at all the same person. So any challenge is just keeping your peeps right. Right. They one time Trick Williams asked Pete Dunne for advice and Pete Dunne said figure it out and now they have to kill each other. That is a weird way to like build to this level of animosity. But okay. They fought really hard, beat each other up a lot. And then it went to a double count out when they did they Russian leg swept each other off the barricade on onto the thing. And listen, I don't I don't love double count outs. It makes sense here because you you you don't want Trick to beat Pete Dunne here to get to the third match. You get you have like Pete Trick can't actually put Pete away. And so now we're actually going to see him do everything. He's going to bury him under rubble or a bunch of chairs or something and try and have to kill Pete Dunne. Again, while Pete Dunne is nursing a lot of injuries from being attacked by Seamus during a fatal four way featuring Braun Strowman and Ilya Dragonov for God's sake. Yeah. That's going to be a bunch of fun to watch. And just like all the icy hot in the world for Pete Dunne, I hope this was the best trick match I've seen it up very long time. Oh, yeah. It was very, very, very long time. And I think some of it was just up until the end. The how clean it was. There were there were eight other guys getting involved there. It wasn't a four pack. It wasn't there was not a ton of like interference or anything. Like I think it was really productive for Trick Williams to just have a really good wrestling match. And one that was completely different than what do you think of Trick's matches, right? You go back to like the stuff with Carmelo and things like that. Like he I haven't really seen him face anybody like Pete Dunne. So getting to see him fight this style, I thought was really good. I thought that was really, really good to see. I'm with you the double count. It actually makes sense here. It was just on a show where every finish was an F finish. So so it felt oversaturated. But this one was logical and and felt like a good way to even though I don't like him be there like to navigate the story that they're telling with these two that that make plenty of sense that make plenty of sense. So Rich Holland told us why he's he's such a meanie. Big meanie. And he's uh he's like I brought them back to prominence. And I finally became a champion and it was ripped away from me because of incompetence. And I was like listen, I get the feeling. However, what? Why? Why did you decide you were like you like I just I thought that the best way to becoming a champion was to start paying tuition at a fake university. Like I he said he at one point he said I I redesigned that gave him gave them a brand new look. Dude, you changed a red shirt with black lettering to a black shirt with red lettering. You did not exactly set the world on fire with your graphic design there, Rigie. But like he's he he's I had to destroy Andre Chase because he he took my time. He was he sucks, which is true. He does. But he does things. He does. But but he says and Fia. Oh, I'm gonna love watching you. And I was like watching her what? Oh, okay. Watching you cry about it, I guess is what he meant. But like it was his weird thing. I wanted him to say Fia. I'm sorry you had to get wrapped up in this. You reminded me so much of my little daughter. I didn't want him to say it, but I thought he was going to. Um and uh and then he on his way out of the classroom that up he in canon paid for. Yes. He drops dukes MVP trophy that he won. I believe in a debate with didn't he win it for for being the MVP of the debate with the schism. He won it. I believe he won the trophy for for for for winning the debate with the schism. In March of 2023. And finally they got rid of that dumb trophy because Ridge Holland stepped on it. And there are some weeks where NXT just is not very very good. And I feel like we haven't really made progress from the 2.0 era. And then you say things like Duke Hudson won an MVP trophy and a debate with the schism. And I'm like, okay, no, we've made some progress. We've made some progress. Oh my goodness. Uh I appreciate that they actually tied things together. But they went from winning the titles to losing them so fast that I was like, damn, dude, you don't even want to see if you can get a rematch. Like, like it was just like, I mean, some people just want to watch the world burn, I guess. But I thought the video package itself was actually well done. And this is the second time and you can't keep getting away with it at NXT. I won't allow it. Where it felt like with Roxanne's, they did the same thing where they gave you like a pretty good retcon explanation of things and a pretty good retcon explanation of things for Tatum. And they did that here. And I'm like, can you just tell the that part of it along the way? It's got to be a swerve. It's got to be a thing where like, you know, oh, we didn't see it coming. Even though we totally saw it coming, we just didn't know why it was coming. But we knew it was coming. You know? Yeah, well, and in the as long as I have these tag titles, I'll never leave the like, they go so heavy handed with just that part of it. If they come like, not from that. And let us draw that conclusion with the storytelling along the way. I feel like that would be better. But I thought this was it was as good of an explanation as they could have given us with what they like shown us to this point, basically. I actually thought they did a pretty good job. And the production on these is so much better than the backstage is like, I said it on previous episodes, it feels like some of these video packages are like excellent. And then backstage, we get an after-swole special. And I'm like, this does not feel like the same product, but all right. Yeah. We're getting Ridge versus Duke. Duke tweeted from an undisclosed location that Andre Chase is still in the hospital. And he can't sit idly by watching his- Tell him, Duke. His trophy being stomped on for Mr. Chase for Riley for Thea. I've got to do this. And of course, he's going to get the absolute crap beat out of him by Rich Holland. And they're doing the thing that I thought they were going to do Riley first. Sure. Then Duke. And then Andre Chase. But it's weird if they do it with Riley's the one in the middle. And because of the trophy, they want that to be like that. I guess that's why they want to do that thing. But I mean, honestly, you get Duke out of the way first. You put him in another hospital. And then there's nobody, no big guy to come to the rescue when Riley gets his, you know what I mean? It's smart. It's smart, honestly, from from from Ridge Holland. Something else smart would be if Ridge Holland and Pete Dunne met in the hallway of NXT. And we're like, hey, we're both evil now. Should we be a tag team again? I mean, maybe. Listen, let me first destroy a man's livelihood with with the whole- I'm going to burn this college to the ground. I'm going to put all of his friends in the hospital. And then after you become the NXT champion after you beat Trick Williams and then Ethan Page, then we'll do like a, what do you call it? Two-man power trip. How does that sound? Oh, so that sounds good. Of course, they'll do it all in a really unintelligible British dialects. But it'll be really fun. That would be fun. But that was not Pete Dunne. That was but that was a different guy. They should acknowledge the history of the fact that both of these guys are hanging around and they did in Pete's like little interview thing. He was like, look, what happened to Ridge hanging around some dumb college or whatever. But now Ridge is on your side, Pete. He's angry too. Now they should like, you're like, okay, we're now we're friends again. Will Chisholm says NXT retcons are like how the Halloween movies did like four times. Yes. The Halloween movies have retconned themselves in many ways. Oh gosh, don't I know it because I watch horror movies. And I don't, I'm not scared at all of horror movies. The only Halloween movie you watch is Ernest Scared Stupid and Spooky Buddies. That's what you watch. Sean Spears has his arm in a sling. He says, you know, Brooks, when you did to avenge my horrible beating at the hands of Andrew Sineffe and Malik Blade. When you destroyed Lucas's shoulder and beat Malik Blade, I wanted to say to you something that I don't think anyone has told you for a very long time. I wanted to say thank you for whatever. That's basically what he did. But he did have a lot more emotion in his voice even than I conjured up. And and then he just walks away and stands in the background as Dion Lennox, the Clark Kent guy with the glasses. He's actually sitting on a road box reading a very large book. And he walked because he's very smart. And then he walks up and he's like psychological manipulation and Brooks is like, what are those words? Psychological manipulation. He's gaslighting you. SMH. He doesn't say it, but he basically does. And then Brooks stares off after Dion Lennox as Sean Spears looks on from behind, 15 feet behind him, like watching him do it. It is very funny. It is. I I really like Sean Spears and I want them to have like clarity around his role on screen because I feel like he could be a very effective like stable leader and that young talent can get a lot working under him or against him or both as many stables are prone to be. So I hope that this is headed toward something that feels more concrete because he's like the couple of times he's been scouting people and it never really came to fruition. Unrelated people talking about my love of horror movies. And he said, what's your favorite Michael Meyer skill? I love the one where his face, like his skin is all like pale and he's got the thing. Yep. Ah, that one's so good. And how he likes dabs. Yeah. Yeah. Horror movies, man. They're the best. So good. Uh-huh. Uh, Jambridge says, never let us forget that the reason done in Ridge first became a tag team was because of Pat versus Adam Cole. It's true. Pat McAfee made them into a tag team first of all. And then yeah, it is true. What? What happened? Um, so Javon Evans got a, a match versus Joe Coffey, um, immediately. And then had the match and it was over very quickly, um, because, uh, the other Galis boys tried to get involved. Uh, and Cedric Alexander came out to back up Javon Evans this time. And then the Joe Coffey was very angry about this, but then walked into the ring and, uh, got hit with something laid down and took a spiral tap type of deal from Javon Evans and lost. Um, yeah. So we are eventually getting the Cedric Alexander, Javon Evans pairing of his tag team, which would be a lot of fun, but not right away because Javon Evans has himself a heritage cup match next week. Yeah. He's just hanging out backstage, talking to, to Renson Claire. And she's like, so, uh, what do you think, you know, like, so what do you think your qualifications would be for a heritage cup? Because I was like, that's cool. That's a cool cup. I hope maybe I'll, I'll get to win that one day. It's like, what do you think your qualifications are? Well, I mean, I did main event, uh, heat wave. And then you saw, I just, uh, just put away Joe Coffey pretty quick. Um, but, um, is this a job interview? Like, maybe, how would you like a saddle match next week for the heritage cup? Really? I can't. Yeah. Oh, I'm going to go till Ava. And he runs away. And then Charlie Dempsey shows up and he's like, what happened? I just told Javon Evans he could have, uh, a heritage cup match. He's like, you did? Why? Well, I did all the things you told me to. I basically interviewed him. I heard his sales pitch. And then I thought for a while and I decided that's what you told me to do. And then, uh, they do some, uh, jokes about how Miles Bourne is deaf. Which I'm not entirely comfortable with, but apparently Michael's Miles Bourne is comfort with them. So I just have to be. They, it, it's kind of the only thing we see with him. So I would like for them to, to do other things in addition to it would be my preference. But, um, they've been doing them a lot. And I would hope that he would, if he didn't like them, they would stop. Um, Rinse and Claire's very, very good. Yeah. Like she, this kind of, most of the slapstick you stuff out of NXT is not my bag. She's really good at this. She's really, really good at this. And I liked that this was like a through line, through multiple segments that made sense of, all shit. All I did was exactly what you told me too. And like she's still getting in this predicament, right? That should also be a very fun match. Like that's something that's going to be very different than we've seen before as well. So that was all very productive tonight. And Rinse and Claire really blossoming in something that kind of shouldn't work, but she's making it work. And I dig it, I dig it a lot. Um, cyclo talking about, um, JCU says that JC brought JCU back to prominence with her sexy coeds calendar and then left one minute, one month later saying that they had always been giant losers and she was never any of their friends, which is why she put together a coed calendar to save the university. Ridge brought them back to prominence and he left one month later. And cyclo says chase you the trouble university. My very early Christmas wish is to see this university bulldoze to the bloody ground. I am with you, MD cyclo. Um, so any brown saying it was Oba not a feminist tonight, damn, yes it was. But I, but listen, stacks took more of a beating than, um, then Big Ang could ever verbally, physically, the beating was delivered to stacks who got his, he was, listen, I really enjoy the time where he just tried to fight back, but you just can't, you cannot hurt Obafemi. Sure. Um, like, there was that really cool time where he kicked him in the knee, drove him down, slapped away the hand and started trying to do something, but you can't. He's eventually going to pick you up and shot, put you into the air. And at that point, it's over. I also love that, um, but he needs to go back to this. The first time I ever saw him have a match. His finisher was a pop up kneeling power bomb. And like, he does the pop up power bomb a lot, but I love the kneeling thing is so cool. So he did that to stacks. This was a, this was a beat down. He beat the hell out of stacks. Stacks took a great beating. He's, but again, I don't understand why Tony's like, you do it, stacks. Ah, no, that was a really bad idea. Now stacks is getting his ass added to him. What am I, what am I, what am I going to do now? That's terrible. My underboss is now my six feet underboss. That is terrible. But like, I mean, he was destroyed by Obafemi. And, and then you have Tony D sitting there going, now he's speechless. I don't know what to say. He's like, he's obviously angry, but also what are you going to do? It's Obafemi. So we're getting more Tony D and Obafemi, which is interesting to me, but this would be a lot better if, if stacks, sorry, if Tony had a lot more than just stacks and Luca to throw at him. Yeah, like this is where it would be great if he had like five or six named guys that weren't just, you know, paunchy middle-aids dudes with beers and with beards and fedoras who come around every now and then to have a couple of lines. He should have like a couple of those NIL boys who were former offensive linemen who could stand around, you know, get chucked in the air by Obafemi. I would like it better if they were named too, but they do have an opportunity to have him start paying people, which could be very, very fun too. This match was good for stacks, for taking all of the punishment and selling his ass off. And the little offense he did surmount looked really good. Like he came at him hard and then just got put down for a lot of this. I think this is a good example of longer-term storytelling as opposed to dragged out storytelling, which is something that I've been trying to create more of a distinction on several shows for several weeks now. Like every week there should be some sort of development, preferably most of those happen in an in-ring capacity and then some weeks with promos, some weeks both. This is a good example of that and it's much easier to do with stables in general, but one where there's a hierarchy in that stable. It's a very, very clean thing considering how gimmicky this is. Like from a wrestling standpoint, it sets up stories so easily. So they're executing that perfectly, other than the one line, which hopefully they just move on from and just never budge it again. Yeah, we shouldn't do that again. Here's some people are talking about this in the chat of 20 putting out a hit on Oba. Like an open contract, a bounty. You take him out, you get the money and you could have OTM come after him. Fucking gals in Anderson. Like all bouncy beef. I mean, those guys are nice. They're good ones out there. They are kind of nice. You know what I mean? I can take might do it just for the money, but like, like, hey, if we take out Oba family, we'll have enough money to fund our Instagram videos into the next millennium. Let's do it. Just like one of them, my favorite scenes in any movie is from Cape Fear, which you've never seen, I'm sure, where Robert De Niro is terrorizing Nick Nulty's family. He's a horrible guy. So Nick Nulty pays a bunch of dudes to like mug him and beat the crap out of him. And Robert De Niro just says, no, I'm just going to beat up all the guys you hired to beat me up. And like, that would be so cool if like you put out a hit on Oba family and he ended up fighting off like six dudes at once. And he knows that Tony D's the one who put the hit out on him, which just pisses off Oba even more. Like, there could be a lot of fun stuff. And all you have to do is send him to the parking lot. Very little creative work. Tony hires Jake something to take out Oba. I didn't even think about the crossover with something like that. The crossover could be really interesting. I could get rid of everybody. Honestly, everybody says, I don't want it. Everybody's been saying, like, moose or whatever. Like, like, he's the type of guy who would take a payoff from Tony D to try and take out a dude. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not saying I want that, but like find a guy in TNA who would take a payoff from Tony D to come after Oba family. That would be really interesting. PCO, although, I don't know what, I don't know what Frankenstein has, he needs money for. So like, maybe it's not PCO, but it's like. He's got the whole, he's trying to cord a girl. You know what I mean? It's true. Like, in this thing, what's up to Lander? Do you want to call out some super chats? I do. There's just a couple of, of even non-punt ones in there that mugs away. Jambeard says, "Tony D's men should be named Bugsy, Mugssy, Fugssy, Fugssy and Bugsy." I like that a lot. Tony, Tony needs a big Italian guy. I got it. Someone called Marco Corleone. Yes, that is Gendrech's name in Mexican wrestling. Mark Gendrech's name in Mexican wrestling is Marco Corleone. That's good. I like that a lot. Jambeard says that they could have Wesley show up on TNA and challenge Wents for his exhibition title on the next TNA PLE. They sure could. All right, let's do some of the original pleasantries we've met. Eugene says, "Yesterday was my birthday. Happy birthday, Eugene." Happy birthday, and YouTube member Eugene. Thank you for being a member. Pringle says, "Awesome Alex, Charismatic Kate, Powerful Papa Paul, Elizabeth, Two LT, Two-Quit. Jamman, Meat, Sourious, Sisters, Louise, and all the SGS. How's it going? It's all right, J. Deli Pringle. How's it going with you? It's a double-bit night, so it's going very well. Jambeard says, "I've volunteered to be paid off juror to help Kate." Thank you very much, I appreciate that. We'll keep that in mind. E&R says, "The water is deep, and wide, deep, and wide. The water is deep and wide, deep and wide. There's some lukewarm water, deep and wide." That's about the deep water that you are and how warm it is. J.T.B Pringle says, "With no door, nothing is forbidden. That's us being a hallway and not unhinged." Meat Norma says, "I just finished my fantasy football draft. The league is called shenanigans. My team meets us mafia. My draft is ranked third, while others are crumulent." That's very fair. Big fan of, if you said it many times now, since the first time I heard it, if you can chanan once, you can chanan again. The crustaism. Andrés, he says, "Going through one week of sobriety, thanks for helping." That's awesome. My very best friend in the world is a recovering alcoholic. And he's been, he's now nine years sober, so it is a struggle every day. I know he talks to me about it, so that's awesome. My favorite person on earth is in recovery, and actually has her anniversary coming up one day in time. Never would be too proud for help. You've got this. We're rooting for you. We're glad that you're in our chat. We love you so much. Yes, thank you so much. Everyone say nice thanks to him. They have been. I've been watching. It's awesome. It's awesome. We have a really supportive group every night, but especially on Tuesdays. More Italians for Tony, Meat Norma's was something I've been saying for a while. If he ends up out of AEW entirely, Nick Kamaroto is the perfect diet, is to be a bruiser in the Tony D family. He'd be so good at it. He really would. He really would. He's injured right now. He had a weird one to do something with his leg. Leg? I think it was a leg thing. That sucks. He's having me up for all, both fall of 2024 and until 2025 I think. Yeah, that was this weird backstage segment where Ashanti the Adonis and Eddie Thorpe don't like each other because Ashanti wants to hit on ladies. Yes. Oh, but they also, this was what we heard from Brindley Reese that Ederson O'Fay had to have shoulder surgery and they rode him off with the attack from Brooks. So that sucks for Ederson O'Fay. And now we'll see what they do with Malik Blade, if anything. What he's here is a singles guy without the tag partner. But yeah. Yeah, that's a bummer. That's a real, real bummer because they were doing some good work when they were allowed to. But nice to see from Brindley Reese again. There's these. But it is what it is. Wrestling is a painful, painful sport. But the overheard conversations thing is like one of the four playbooks they have backstage. We saw too much of it tonight. But this made sense and well, it just sucks. It just sucks when people get injured. It does. Jada versus Jasmine Nix. Jada is, she's doing a really good job selling the ribs. I just want to see full strength Jada again. Yeah. Like don't make this into a down mandala's page thing where she's wearing the rib tape for six years. I need to see full strength Jada soon. It won't be all that soon because she got beat down after the match. She did beat Jasmine Nix with the butt to the ear. And then she got beat up afterwards by Fallon and J.C. Jane and Jasmine Nix and they all did finishers too where they beat her up. And so this fully cements her as a babyface because she has no friends. Yes, correct. She has no friends. So she's definitely on the other side. No, like literally all of the babyface women are standing around in a semicircle watching a video. And they're just there. And then they get walked up on by the fatal influencers. And like all of you were there are 22 of you standing there. Just walk toward the ring and then the bad girls will have to run away. What, I mean, I don't know. They looked like, you know, in the Peanuts Christmas movie when they're decorating the tree and they're all just like circled around it. Yes. Nobody stands like this. What are we doing? I don't know. When they come in, all the other girls like back up and it's just, you know, Kalani Jordan and her best friend somehow, Lola Weiss. When did they, didn't they have like a whole rivalry that was never settled? Right, but like faces now. But yeah, but they're both babyfaces. So they're just. So therefore they're friends. Therefore they're friends? Okay. Except for babyfaces who aren't allowed to have any friends. Keep on up. Like they don't have any, yeah, this is weird. Anyway, JC J and fellow Henley apparently are going to be your next challengers for the Kalani Jordan's title, which makes sense. I was actually watching them beat the hell out of Jada Parker going, why are you what just it's fun. I guess it's fun to beat up Jada Parker. But like just go after Kalani Jordan. Yeah. When do you choose got other things doing? She's got no challengers. Go after Kalani Jordan. And then they just then they did. So it's like, okay, well, that's good. That's good. I guess. Fine. Then you should have asked for a million dollars. Yes. No, if they're going to be backstage bullies to everyone, that's much easier to stop like then going after people non-sensically. Yeah. So Roxanne gets the main event slot to come out and talk about how nobody can touch her. Nobody can produce her or what her equal. I don't know. But she basically says there's nobody here. This would work a lot better if we didn't know Julia was here. And if she didn't know Julia was here and had not come face to face with Julia two days ago. Like this whole there's nobody in the back who can't even possibly be me. Well, yes, there is. You know who it is. It is very odd. But then face to face with her already. Yeah. Then it's just then it's a swerve. And it's Chelsea Green who is great. But is a deliberate swerve to like through people off the scent. But again, we already know who it is though. Yeah. You know, it's weird. So she should have just done this at the pay-per-view, like. Yeah, honestly. I mean, Jade, I beat everyone in my path. Nobody's on my level. Yeah. How comes Julia and then that. But they wanted to get Julia on this TV, which I get. So then after like so basis is I'm going to come take your title. I'm going to do it. And then the lights go out again. And then Julia shows up and she gets in the ring and Chelsea Green off Mike starts saying crap to her. And ends up getting elbowed in the face and kicked in the face. And then Julia picks up her microphone and says you, me, CW. So then on the debut of NXT on the CW, we will be having. Ethan Page versus Trick Williams and Roxanne versus Julia. I anticipate both of those matches will have title changes. And we're off to the races on the CW. But that's not until October 1st. And we've got apparently a whole bunch of crap to do in NXT between now and then, which I guess is good. Great point from empty cyclist saying she didn't tell us to put any respect on her. She did not do that in incredible presence. I try not to use the aura word because it's gotten so truncated. But Julia just really bringing such a special feel to everything. And she's going to do incredible work. I'm so excited for what she's going to add to this women's division. And Chelsea's great. My only thing with Chelsea was she's supposed to be a heel. And she said that wrestling fans need to work other hygiene, which is babyface for me like they do. So she really, Julie is going to do really, really wonderful thing. That's definitely a title change. We'll see what we get at a trick in Ethan. I'm not as sure for that one. But this I think is, I don't think you bring in Julie to challenge for the title and have her lose in her first time. No, no, no, no. No, I also shades yours. So what's the point of Chelsea being there then? I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be shocked on not next week, but the week after of seeing Julia get her first match as a tune up versus Chelsea, which Roxanne at ringside on commentary. And Jess Roxanne at the end of it going, oh, I'm so friggin screwed. Like one of those things. Like, no, obviously not saying that. But like the look on her face as she watches Julia destroy Chelsea Green. Could be, you know, could be really interesting, honestly. I do think as far as in Ringo's this incoming crop is going to give you the throwback feel of what it was like with the rear Ripley's, the four horse women and all that. Like, I think this incoming crop is going to make it feel like you've got all these women that feel so different and are so great. And women's wrestling is so badass. I think is going to return. That's not a slight to any of the talent that are there. A lot of them are just up and coming. A lot of these women are up and came from around the world. So you're going to see a lot of different women's wrestling that you've seen so far. I'm sure the creative will still be something we get to wind about. But the, I think like Roxanne and Julia is going to be an all-timer. Like, that's going to be a match we talk about, I think. Yeah. Jim Baird says, "When's the CW show? How many weeks are we?" October 1st. So it is now September 3rd. So the 10th, the 17th, the 24th. Three more episodes of NXT on, on USA and then on the 1st. On the 1st will be, so we have three more weeks of USA and then CW. That is how it's going. Jay Miller says, "If you look up Aura in the dictionary, it's Julia." So, okay. Well, I didn't want to use that word. Other people are fine with using it, Kate. It's not inaccurate. I just feel like, I was watching the MXM stream and they, they essentially said like, Aura is not somebody holding up a title belt and fireworks going off. Which is like how people view Aura now. And it was so, it's so well-articulated, something that I had been feeling of like, Aura shouldn't be something that you can produce, Aura is something that John Moxley walks in with. Or is it, you know what I mean? And I really, I agree that production isn't Aura. Like, that's why the Yeats stuff doesn't translate with me. And so, I like to say somebody's presence because it's the thing of, as soon as that person walks into the room, regardless of any of the production support. Mm-hmm. That's, that's what the game changer is on that. Um, cyclo helping us. If you don't want to use Aura, just use Skibity, Ohio Riz. I don't know what this Skibity, Toilet, Skibity, Ohio stuff. I don't know what any of this is. I am old and it makes no sense. You are 24 years old. You are our youth correspondent. Uh, Jambia says, "Alex, they should do Chelsea versus Julia next week." And then the week after is Piper versus Julia. I, I think she only gets one tune up. But if, like, Piper comes to, to NXT to take revenge on Julia for what she did to show up Chelsea. And the one tune up is Piper. And she does what she would do to Chelsea to Piper. And that's what Roxanne reacts to. Ooh. Okay. Okay. Um, uh, Valab says, "Ara gives Kate the big horror." And she's a big fan of horror. Exactly. Exactly. I love, uh, the man, that movie with that guy who looks so weird and has, uh, those one objects that he kept using. Yep, Valab says, "Can't wait for Julia's biggest fans to see their first Julia match." Uh, because it does feel like a lot of people are very excited who have, uh, no knowledge. And I don't have that much. I've seen a couple of her matches. I've seen a lot of her highlights. She's really, really, really good. Yeah, she's special. But like a lot of people were like, "Oh, yes, of course." "Well, she's going to change the game. Have I seen any of her stuff? And don't I have it?" But I know. Oh, yeah. And if she showed up in a different promotion, they'd be like, not, not a needle mover. Yeah. Nope. Doesn't move to needle. Doesn't move to needle. Uh, Will Shazam, uh, says Jada going to be like Randy's dad, selling the ribs for 40 years. I hope not. I want to see Jada full strength, please. As do I, Tim McFowl says, team KLEX for the next NXT tag champs. Why did WWE insist on having creepy sexual harassment stories? Ashanti, Dom and Liv. I wish I knew, but I don't like them. I don't know. One lieutenant photo says, "In the professional wrestling system, the people are represented by two separate, separately equally important groups. The heels who commit the crimes, and the faces who prosper with the offenders. These are their angles. Done, done. Done. That's from Mrs. Lieutenant Photo. Oh, thank you, Mrs. Lieutenant Photo. All right, let's do some puns. E&R says, techno testimony 2000. Very nice. Thank you. Louisville says, "My cousin Vinny Pacifico." Oh, we love Vinny here. E&R says, "Zack Sabina Jr." See, yes, Jack. Saitown Spurs says, "You want the truth? You can't handle our truth." No, actually. Yeah, I can't handle him sometimes. My pieces says, "The mighty don't appeal." That's, TMDA is fantastic. I love that. Thank you. E&R says, "Bam, bam, barrister." That's, I love that we get ours. You get your bam, bam. I get my TMD Ks and techno team 3000 ones. Mr. Showtime says, "Technically, team 2000." That's important. Technically, they were a team in the year 2000. Chris Pereira says, "Bam, bam, big-a-law." The simple ones. E&R says, "Nation of litigation." I love that one. That's really good too. Very good. Chris Pereira says, "J-legal." And also William, and also William legal. For sure. Jambeard says, "Kase you." Well done. Annie Brown says, "Bar exam big-a-law." E&R says, "Pro bonobo femme." In either case, he sends friendship bailiffs, not friendship bracelets. Oh. But friendship, brayliffs. Hopefully that's up at the same time. Mr. Showtime says, "Lawyer, Brit-baker, Brit--" Okay. Lawyer, Brit-baker. E-S-Q. Very nice. Chris Pereira says, "Allegation cease." "Allegation cease." I love when Ali gets them. Brandon Rosen says, "John subpoena." Insert clever Tegan Knox pun says, "Tegan no contest." Very good. Mr. Showtime says, "Jim the gaveled night court." Meet Norma says, "Penta el Sero mediation." They don't just set the bar. They are the bar exam. Mr. Showtime says, "Bail Kim." "Bail Kim is really good." Lieutenant Colonel Foto says, "My cousin Vinny Marsiglia righteous." Very nice. Chris Pereira says, "Plaint Tiffany Stratton." Mr. Showtime says, "The trial chief." "The trial chief." Wow. That's excellent. Jesse Ozog says, "Mensria Ripley." Or maybe, "Mensria Ripley." Phoenix. Louis Vills says, "House of Torx." Sure. J.W. Pringle says, "Kevin Dun Dun." That's very good. You could also do Pete Dun Dun. You could do Pete Dun Dun. Let's do Pete Dun Dun instead of, I don't want to do Pete. Pete Dun being done. Meet Norma says, "Smart Mark chases ambulances all the way to local medical facilities." Nation of deposition. Dark order in the court. And of course, Sid Justice. Mr. Showtime says, "Obe in the court." "Obe in the court." This court will now come to Oba. Joshua Cardo says, "Cory Nair, a turnbuckle at law." "Cory Nair?" "Cory Nair." I don't know. I don't know either. Chris Perez says, "P.L.E. deal." Like a plea deal. That's very good. E.N.R. says, "New world order in the court." And E.L.E. says, "Tag team turmoil, F.T. bar, courthouse of black, and law and dark order." Very good. Oh, "Cory Nair, a turnbuckle at law." "Cory Nair, a turnbuckle at law." "Cory Nair." Oh, okay. That's good. Mr. Cardo says, "The burning gavel." Very nice. Chris Pereira says, "Ron summons." E.N.R. says, "Objection spears." Very nice. Tom LaValle says, "Judge Mills, Lenny Lane." Very good. Chris Pereira says, "Supreme court, juices." E.N.R. says, "Speedball, Mike Bailiff." Very good. Jesse Ozog says, "Promissory estoppel fentosmo." E.N.R. says, "L. Depositional. Testimoné." Finduciary Baller. Very good. Just Ricardo says, "One, two, three strike kid nation of intense probation." And, oh, one, two, three strike kid. And, nation of intense probation. Thank you. Jambeard says, "Bam, bam, Bailiff." And, "Prosecutor Peter Avalon." And, Jambeard also says, "Johnny wrestling Cochrane." Cochrane. Right. Johnny wrestling Cochrane. Very nice. And then, Chris Pereira, this is my favorite one. Oh, wait. Eli says, "For all the gamer fans, Ace Austin attorney." Okay. My favorite one. For Chris Pereira. When you're whole thing with Smart Mark and Sean doesn't go well. If it doesn't go well, I just hope the judge declares a Miz trial. That's very good. That might be the most you've ever liked the Miz, to be honest. Meet Norma says, "Kate, the impossible meat was okay. I'm influenced." Pretty good. It's pretty good. The impossible meat and beyond meat as time goes on, they get better. But, I'm glad that you enjoyed them. And, thank you for, thank you, Guffey. Tom LaValle says, "Bringing back the regal rap, Juicy by Notorious B.I.G." Notorious B. Oh, the regal rap is where it all started. It is. It is. Let's see if I can get through this without having our show canceled. Yes, this album is dedicated to all the people that told me I'd never melted nothing. To all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustling in front of. All the police saw me when I was just trying to make some money to feed my daughter. It's all good. And all the fellas in the struggle, you know what I'm saying? It's all good, baby boy. It was all a dream. I used to read Word Up magazine, Sorting Pepper and Heavy D up in the limousine. Hanging pictures on my wall. Every Saturday rap attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl, I let my tape rock till my tape popped. Slook and weed and bamboo, sipping on private stock. Way back when I had the red and black lumberjack with a hat to match. Remember, rap and duke. Duhar, Duhar, sunshine. I'm done with this now. William Regal famous for reading Word Up magazine. Yep. Yep. No, I'm gonna do that. Okay. All right. Let's see, let's see. Hey, Dusty, are you here? It's me, baby. Hold on, it's me. Tillicic Mayhem says a jukebox of dusty, ghosty roads, the thing skippity by little big. Listen, I'm not only am I old. I'm also dead, so I have no idea what the skippity is. So, um, I'm calling, I'm calling tutors. Calling on you to say, I want you, I want you, I want you, maybe all night all day. I want you, I want you. Different towns to run to. Ooh, baby, come to me. Ha, ha, ha, give it all to me. Skippity or a popper? Skippity or a popper popper? Skippity or a popper popper, popper popper, popper. Skippity popper, daddy. Skippity boom, boomerang. Skippity boom, boomerang. Skippity boom, boomerang, boomerang. Skippity popper. A. A. Skippity popper. That was beautiful, thank you so much. Me, Norma, said, uh, can the ghost, the dusty road, sing, "I thought the law." Let's see, "I thought the law, breaking rocks in the hot sun. I thought the law and the law won. I thought the law and the law won." I needed money because I had none, baby. I thought the law and the law won. I thought the law and the law won. I let my baby in, it feels so bad. I guess my race is run. Now, see the best girl that I ever had, baby. I thought the law and the law won. I thought the law and the law won. Robbing people with a sixth gun. I thought the law and the law won. I thought the law and the law won. I lost my girl and I lost my son. Not lose my smile. That was, that was, that was his BK. Yes. I thought the law and the law won. I thought the law and the law won. Take it, Ricky. I left my baby and it feels so bad. I guess my race is run. She's the best girl that I ever had. I thought the law and the law won. I thought the law and the law won. I thought the law on many occasions. Of course. And the law has won on most of them. On most of those occasions. On most of them. You know, it's a, it's a tough fight, but we keep fighting. You know? It's all, it's all we can do. That's all we can do. Just keep fighting. It's true. Did you, do you have any jail stories for us before you go? No, those are all in my fourth coming memoir. Oh my gosh. Is L.E.C's ghost writing it? No. Be so for real. Okay. Dusty Rhodes is ghost writing it. Dusty Rhodes. A ghost is ghost writing it. That makes sense. Because if I thought, if I was going to get a ghost writer, who do I know that is a ghost? And I forgot Dusty. It's true. It's another, there's another jukebox. There is, if you're going to have a cutie pie writer, you could have like the ceases to it. Right. But they're not, they're not ghosts as far as I'm. No, no, no. That'd be like, if you wanted like a sweet little gals writer. Right. Well, this one is from Jambeard, what's Dusty to sing the boss man theme, the big boss man theme. So I'm going to start it and see if Dusty will join in. Okay. If you ever take a trip down to Cobb County, Georgia, you better read the signs. Respect the law and order. You'll serve hard times. Hard times. You have a serving hard time. Daddy, you're the big boss man. Make you walk the line. You better watch out, baby. You have a serving hard time. It carries a big stick. A ball and chain too. If you're looking for trouble here, becoming after you. You serve hard times. You've been serving hard times. You're the big boss man. Make you walk the lines. Better watch out boy. You've been serving hard time. You've been serving hard time. You've been serving hard. Listen, I have not spoken to Ray trailer, AKA the big boss man recently. He's up here somewhere. I got to find him. I'm going to sue him for gimmick infringement. You should. You should. His theme song, I did not realize how many times that the theme song, the big boss man references hard times. I guess he used bluetooth.com codefifle. I might have to hire that smart Mark Sterling of yours see if he can sue him so I could get some racks to some of the music that he was. That is terrible, man. You've been serving hard time. It's so true. All right. Well, I got to go. I'm going to go find that Ray trailer. That's fun of a bitch. Stole my gimmick and put it in his song. You got me a call back to the baby y'all. I'll be back. Uh oh. I would not want to be Ray trailer right now. No, nor would I. That would be bad for him. But anyway, keep cool. Gabba goose. Toodles. When you need meal time inspiration, it's worth shopping king supers for thousands of appetizing ingredients that inspire countless mouth-watering meals.
