https://redcircle.com/privacy A message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army infantryman and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlist in the Army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on 1-2. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Get the facts. Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure.

And we review NXT, which is a show that is also on Tuesdays, though it is not nearly as good as this show. I am Kate, and this is Alex, and how's it going? No, I'm all out of sorts. I'm all out of sorts, Kate. >> I'm Kate, this is the NXT Sour Gramps post show for September 17th. My goodness, get in your superteds, get in your humperteds. I have working internet, I have a microphone that I've had for months, thanks to the good people at Beacon that is up and running. All thanks to the SGS's and my actual dear Papa Paul Elizabeth. Coming in to help me get my tech set up, fantastic stuff. Fantastic stuff from my parents who should be sponsoring this stream basically at this point for what they've done in my apartment. But get in your superteds, get in your humperteds. We've got restaurants puns, if you want to jump into those. But before we dive into the show, we're also going to remind you to subscribe to FightfulSelect.com. Oh my goodness, so much going on on FightfulSelect.com. Alex, I can't even tell you, but I will tell you a little bit. Because that's what you do when you try and promote a paid service. But for just the best $5 in the biz, okay? For sure. Get out all the scoops that anyone could ever want in the whole wide world. Tons of contract news. Shame is getting resigned that went up there today. Yep. More details on this Warner deal. My goodness, coming down the pike. Very, very exciting time to be a wrestling fan. Lots of great stuff there. But you had your NXT early notes that went up from Corey Brennan early today. I'm sure that's going to continue as we head into the CW era of things. But man, oh man, this was after yesterday's episode of Raw that I think can only be described as an episode. We certainly had an episode of NXT to follow it up. Yep, we sure did. We sure did. I sent a little thing to you and Luis in the group chat about halfway through the show. He's saying that I have been putting about as much effort into following what's going on as they have obviously put into writing and executing the show. So don't expect any blistering analysis from this guy over here tonight. It's just they are running out the clock on USA like there was there's not a lot of stuff that they're trying to do right now beyond obviously the top stuff. But like there's not a lot of compelling storylines or the matches aren't laid out in a way that are like we've come to expect really good in ring work like lots of time given to matches like major story is being driven by the in ring work. And that's just not what we're doing right now. Again, I think it's just like we're we're we're just holding a lot of that back until the CDub. But they decided you know what we we understand that we have not been doing any stories like real stories kind of on the show. So how about we put six weeks of storytelling into one night at a story that doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense but so we'll talk about it. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense Alex we have a special guest referee who has no stake in whether someone is a champion or not well that's that's entirely different that's entirely different. It's such a there's a lot of things going on that right now that like feel to your point very out of place that aren't even booking related like I'm used to the booking decisions being what kind of drives us mad but waiting out the clock is a good way to describe it because it really just feels like yeah we're just you got CM Punk and Randy Orton coming down your CW era and right now they're like we're going to give you three minutes for JCJ in the little device like what is happening so we we we we have the usual pleasantries up top from JDB Pringle says amazing Alex compassionate Kate Papa powerful Papa Paul Elizabeth jam man mighty meat to LT to quit sisters Louise and all the SGS what was that that's a good takeaway that's a good takeaway what was that is a good takeaway of thing which I could tell you yeah a dealier a dealier chamber in is a 20 month member of the Fightful main roster says here to show some love for Alex Kate and the SGS didn't watch NXT tonight but sounds like it didn't miss much I mean there was a major development for a title match in two weeks that didn't need to happen also you missed two time NBA all-star for the Indiana Pacers Tyrese Halliburton and that is exactly how you have to introduce him every time you talk about him with all of those things and then also mention that he won a gold medal I don't believe he actually played in any of the games so it's okay he made fun of it himself like he was posted a picture to Instagram after they won the gold holding up his gold medal and says when you don't do nothing on the group project but still get an A he knows he knows very good when he's been on like he's he's uh you can tell he's a fan of it because he understands kind of what's what's happening here yeah but we're gonna talk there were things that happened the Tony D things certainly happened yeah it's a thing that's happened but we're uh we're gonna dive into all of it mm-hmm yeah Orion Ben says seriously seriously that show just happened good gravy hi a prime Alex and bangs on point I'm gonna need grand slam to hurry up and get here shining lights tonight were Ren and Big Ange match non-hit that's kind of the way I feel about the matches tonight like then nothing was like oh wow that was usually we get one we're like that was really really great and it just didn't it wasn't like the the performers like were bad there's like the matches were were laid out to be bland there's a really big difference in wrestling between something like everything not going wrong and things going right like that's just the nature I feel like of wrestling like you can have matches where nothing goes wrong but that doesn't make it a good or a great match it definitely doesn't make it a great match it might make it a good match um so it it was one of those and they're just like Lola and JC getting three minutes like what are we doing but there was just like a lot of that too of um see I'm honking rocks and talking for 15 minutes so a bunch of stuff feeling like it got cut way too short to mostly not do anything like it was uneventful at best jimber says since Kate is no longer a leggy onion blonde what is she now as a redhead i nominate guns out ginger not my best work ah why couldn't you be a leggy redhead tomato i mean i'll take it if i wear like a chanel sweater i'll be fuzzy tomato like back in the day look at that tomato over there for like a something that something that Tony that Tony d'angel would call i mean tomatoes don't have onions right you just get to be them but they do have they have but they have but no but but they have stiff skin but like inside it's like a masterwork of like mazes and seeds and stuff if you slice it one way it looks entirely different than if you slice it you turn it and slice it the other way which is a very like so you really you really can't tell what your gut i'm i'm reaching for here i i don't know i like it i'm in enigma i'm in i have a leggy red tomato of course you are um you know when you are also you're a comedian because last night um you said that if we added an extra this i believe me it made sense how we got to this point i'm not going to do it right now but it made sense how we got to this point but you said if we add an extra p to pf Chang's it becomes ff Chang's and come for the scoops stay for the talk about pf Chang's that's what i i fell out of my chair i've never laughed so hard at anything on any show i've ever been on i broke you and it was a rare w for me i still can't so like Chang's in honor of Chang's uh we're we're doing restaurant puns all night corporatized restaurant puns that can be fast food they can be fast casual they can be your sit-down variety sure uh but yes uh this one from louis villa i didn't didn't pay for it but pf bangs that's that's you right there um so we're gonna we've already got 31 my goodness we've already got 31 puns in under 10 minutes this feels like it might approach the triple digits we haven't gotten one of those in a long time so keep going people thank you um they start out with the um with the top title um contract signing which they never do right out of the box so you knew something was going to happen to like do oh well now after what we had tonight there's gonna be a uh surprise tag team match where these two guys will have to coexist or some dumb thing but like you knew it wasn't gonna end the like you know because they always do these in the last segment of the show not the first sure so the big deal was that they came out and talked trash to one another and the rubes in the audience kept chanting that for ethan to put on some clothes even though he's currently fully dressed in a suit and he points this out to them and they still keep chanting it because they're rubes it i love what you call everybody rubes um it's very it's very rubish behavior i will i will say that if they were sitting at a square this would be a rubic skew like that's how how much they were being rubes in this i get and it's a good sign for joe henry that it it has followed ethan page this long let's move on people let's let's move on ethan page retained i'm i'm team ethan he dresses impeccably well actually he's a fashionista of this brand of all of wrestling really and he was fully dressed yeah um i uh lord how many more clothes do you want people to put on like a parka what like what's what's how how many layers does the man have to wear seems rude be so sweaty and gross i know it's weird but anyway um eventually um he uh he kicks they they they both stand up and come around at the front of the table with Ava standing behind it and then ethan page kicks truck trick in the gut and does the egos edge onto the table and um and then they leave and the big deal according to Vic joseph is that well nobody even signed the contract book well then how can they even have the match in two weeks the contract hasn't been signed like there are many many many many many title matches that don't even have a contract signing on screen so just do it backstage or also uh beyond that there's a whole week of tv next week before the week that this is the title match is so you could just do the segment over next week like we are going to get both of these people's names on this contract by the end of tonight that i could promise you says Ava and you never you'll never guess uh who who it is who decides that i i you know what i'll handle this um you would be forgiven to think it was it would be CM Punk that is what i thought when they were like i'm gonna do this and it's gonna be very difficult to get these two men to sign their names on a piece of paper but i'm gonna try and then i'm like hey how about this i'll do it says CM Punk because that seems like something he would do sure but no it's actually a two-time NBA All-Star for the Indiana Pacers Tyree's Halliburton who also won a gold medal uh and he's decided that he's he's gonna do that he'll be the one who does that so i heard from Corey a couple of notes one of them was that the internal name of the show was straight edge down the middle uh and i felt like this could have been called uh blue balls all night because we got a contract signing that got delayed until the end and we had CM Punk come out for 15 minutes to not get to an announcement to have that happen at the end but the pacing of the show was awful tonight like it was it was really really bad uh punk also ran long i'm hurt heard from Corey he didn't even have to tell me that when i did use that one all by myself with my own brain head um but this was a contract signing to open and close the show was just a that's not a good formula for a show that's not good that's bad it isn't also Tyree's uh no offense to him but like if you're trying to like whip guys into shape to side of contracts like maybe someone with like a little more muscle like no offense to him he didn't whip them into shape he just stood there and they signed the contract with nobody he didn't tell them to do it and they had to do it whole was like i don't oh he's a big star he's he's a big time star okay he's a two-time all-star and you know so you won a gold medal these men will obviously do whatever he tells them because he's a man and therefore not Ava who they don't listen to maybe maybe is that implied i'm not sure some kind of latent sexism implied uh by the uh 60-year-old white men who write this show i mean if sexy red was back they'd also be signing this so that's true that is true you know what that is that's just celebrity worship though we you know yeah yeah but like i was confused yes um his his pole or vested interest was in getting this contract he's tall he's tall okay he's very tall he's an MBA he's tall he's tall he seems cool he's tall um uh uh uh uh uh uh Louis ville it's gives us our first pun rubes e tuesday um so uh we'll talk more about that the halliburton thing um uh javon is like hey uh can i get on the card uh at uh for st louis um just anywhere i would like just like have a match says javon evans to evans like i'll take it under advisement and uh immediately after he said that uh randy orton tweeted out uh you want to know who your opponent is kid i'll see you in st louis and an hour and a half later vick joseph is look what the viper just tweeted book just now on social media like if you're gonna have randy tweet the thing out and have everybody all over twitter who runs any kind of wrestling adjacent account go looks like javon evans is facing randy orton and an hour and a half you have your commentator like it's breaking news that they're telling you for the first time figure out a way to dovetail those things a little better so it doesn't look like you're behind like wrestling news with three z's dot com um as someone that works for uh a website that does this we would be roasted like we would be roasted if we picked up on this hours later jr me landbert with the out of a job no i'm just kidding uh the this all night there there are things that we criticize every week most of them are creative right this week there was stuff that we don't normally have to kind of dig into and there was a lot of that and one of them was stuff like this and the pacing like the layout of this show was was weird like it it felt like they give us this product and whether or not we like it we sit here and talk about right but today it felt like they weren't in control of the thing that they give us like it was like it was a little weird and that might just be because they're winding these few weeks up and they're trying to get things aligned before all that like that that happens on on wrestling shows right we on wednesday of last week we just saw them be like brine davis the kid to defend his title at grand slam and i don't think it is be like aha but he can kind of not his title but he could wrestle like there are things that get clunky on wrestling shows so but that was that was a great example of something that like normally they're like so-and-so just tweeted and it was seconds beforehand it felt like this was a scheduled randy orton tweet that was in the wrong time zone or something like things got thrown off it it's a little bit awkward yes it does he was he's still using tweet deck um so uh no javon evans versus randy orton uh all right st louis will be a lot of fun uh they they did announce and acknowledge that uh we we're moved we are moving venues to uh a venue that is one quarter of the size of the original venue which is fine but the problem is is that you have then if you're going to say this or this is fine it's just they didn't sell enough tickets for this particular one that's fine then you also have to say that about the other company when that happens to them uh or you can be you can be hahaha hahaha hahaha point and laugh at both companies you can't you have to choose to be on the side of attendance numbers really in the toilet a on both sides or attendance doesn't really matter on both sides that's my only deal and then i'll i'm gonna be straight edge down the middle i appreciate that about you uh yeah just be normal uh you are not directly offended by or impacted by how many people a tune into a show or b attend a show so just uh right exactly it doesn't really matter enough with the like tarped nonsense yeah uh but you're right if you are going to be that big of a dweeb be a consistent dweeb yeah um uh and yes of course uh we are all waiting for exactly how divan evans will leap directly into uh and arcao and arcao um i'm hoping he leaps into two of them uh somehow like once early enough and is able to like bounce out of the ring because he is bouncy when you need mealtime inspiration it's worth shopping king

restrictions apply and then leaps into it in a different way for the for the loss he is really special and i think it's awesome that they're having him work with randy like there's something about that combo that i was like that's a good one that's a good one and i also kind of like that japan evans was like get me on this card i have a couple wins and i'm very fun like let's go let's make make matches like that i don't love how many matches got made through twitter what you have shawn michael ava and ava's two assistants like that's that's a lot for that x app to be doing yes um laira valcury and tennen paxley are still friends somehow and they defeat wendy chu and rosemary i don't know what we're doing with mendy chu right now please tell me why she is the way she is also please book her to win something because she is she is content she lost to jordan grace but then choked her out afterwards um like you you teamed her up with a demon from the other nether realm and all they do is lose this is this is bray wire in 2016 why are we why are we doing this like i don't i mean i whatever don't also like oh look at that isn't that sweet book laira valcury and tatum paxley together again they've missed each other so no they friggin hate at each other when laira got drafted tatum tatum turned on her like they were friendly not friends friendly ish for about five minutes for the longest time tatum wanted to be friends with laira and laira was like you're creeping me out and then for a second laira was like okay you're you're you're kind of creeped me out but i guess you're okay and then laira lost the title and tatum turned on her they were friend this right now currently this weird three-week run they are on right now represents the longest they have ever been able to stand the sight of each other in a row just the slightest bit of creative work just the slightest bit of creative work like and they've just on they've really given laira nothing but being anybody's friend as a character it's it sucks it sucks because like she she's very good at it we've never had a complaint about that there were some character concerns that you and i had not like of her actual character like it's a human being in life like her in in-show character where just felt like some things weren't necessarily clicking for her and things like that and it called her up and then she was becky's friend and then she's other people's friends at a trio and she's also a crazy woman's friend here so like let laira have a personality outside of being other people's friends and you had this really cool thing going with tatum like why is she so excited that laira's back she was supposed to be obsessed with the title not with laira like that was the whole thing with laira had yeah it was it was right and she wanted to be her friend just to get close to it so now what are we doing um i don't know when to choose phenomenal like i don't know how many more times we can say it i like the partnership we still don't have an explanation as to why she turned this way if we're supposed to just accept that she's become her own sleep for else and steven um it still feels a little directionless but i'm i'm kind of giving it breathing room because i'm at least i'm at least intrigued enough by it to see where it goes a little bit um yeah we we we will see i don't know like laira like helping tatum get one over on wendy after she was wendy's friend for five minutes and then wendy turned on her uh i don't know what we're doing with laira like she's on the main roster she's nadi's friend and nadi is now they're doing the the thing with you know pf changs up up on the main roster so i don't know what uh where where we're going with that on the main roster but it feels like this this kind of felt like it kind of wrapped everything up neat and tidy like the the heels didn't get their heat back after they lost so it feels like the baby face is one and i don't know why laira needs to pull double duty i don't know why anybody needs to pull double duty but why laira specifically doesn't make a whole lot of sense um uh we also found tonight that charlie jimsey has grown out uh a terrible um god what what year was it that that triple h had this facial hair the the the the mutton shops that connect to the to the hindel bar mustache but no no fuzz on the chin that's that's not a great look for most people and unfortunately for charlie jimsey he fits into most people most people on this it does not look good on him or most people no it does not but yeah it's a tough one yeah but anyway um he is uh talking up tavy on heights and miles born for their big tag match later tonight uh ran is also there and she has her own version of talking them up as well uh what now now see kate you're not allowed to like have oh i've my got a brand new studio and everything's fine in my brand new studio it's all painted and nice and i got new equipment a brand new microphone you're not allowed to like oh look at my school new studio i got good internet now and then be like bye i mean honestly like this maybe maybe you're going to talk all that trash about your awesome studio how about you have the stones to back it up because i need you i need you on the stream cake because i i need we have to have a therapy session about tony d now so i need you on the stream i don't know what's going on what's happening in my back you're back okay i'm back where where did you go i was trying to queue up and add for us and it's very easy on the system to accidentally leave the entire studio so it's not even my internet's fault it's just me yeah all right all right it's brutal it's brutal what what ad were you going to queue up did i do i do want to say but do you need me to give you the queue that like i i obviously said something that made you think oh let's do this ad but i don't know what i said so i could like try and say it again if you like give me subtle hints no let's just have our therapy session i'm sure i'll back into another amazing segue it is my gift get these ads as we have said uh prior we are unhinged we are so unhinged that there were never hinges we are all the way there are no never been a door there's hasn't been it's never been a door we are unhinged we are a hallway um Kate Alex so last week after hammerstone lost uh to obofemi tony d walked up to him and was like what what what gives i paid you a bunch of money take him out and i was like yeah he's a monster like no i'm not gonna it's like it doesn't matter i gave you a bunch of money i paid you you'll do the job okay i thought what you're gonna do you're gonna go to ava and you're gonna you're gonna ask for a rematch no i'm not look at me i'm i'm i'm six feet tall 265 pounds carved out a solid granite i am petrified of that man he's going to break me in half and tony d's like fine maybe then i won't i won't have to face show but maybe i'll beat up you so then tony d storms off last week and so tonight he's got his match with hammerstone he's gonna he's got maybe you're not gonna pay me back the money that i gave you that you didn't actually do the job for maybe i'll just beat it out of you says tony d as he walks to the ring with such purpose oh that tony d he's such a me oh no oh he's he's throughout the entire match he's reconsidering himself but i'm being tossed around by this very chiseled man what oh i i am reconsidering all of my thoughts hopes and dreams my my reason for being has now been called into question i will just simply take account out loss rather than try to to face this guy uh believing all of my stable mates very um confused by this uh but later um in the night um i will have a confessional with them that comes out of the blue um hey um hey you're so boss what was that all about you take take take an account out well what happened there you you're gonna you're gonna go get a you're gonna go get a rematch with him right no no i'm not you're gonna go get a rematch with with oba then right no no i'm gonna do that oh why hi boss i mean i don't know i mean come on tell us why i'm scared all right i'm scared i'm afraid i'm terrified i i'm um anxious um other things that nervous and uh other things that mean i'm very scared and i'm just gonna blurt all of this out to you 20 minutes after we saw the first chapter of this story here is chapter two and then i'm gonna i'm scared that's right and i'm gonna walk away later we're gonna have chapter three where i've now in a suit and angel's gonna talk to me one on one and she's gonna give me a pep talk and i am going to say that i really want to have another shot at oba femi and she and stand with like we'll get you some specialized training she says and i say all right and then we agree that i will have a rematch with oba femi and all of this makes me think that oba femi is needed on the main roster immediately and we want to have a major deal where tony d beats him uh on the st louis episode or something uh because normally like listen the first time we ever heard there might be a photograph of von wagner's childhood skull was in late january and that story lasted until november or something okay they don't tell stories quickly they told this one in a night a story like this where tony d starts doubting himself because he lost to oba and he starts doubting himself so much that he doesn't even want to face the guy he paid to beat up oba who took a bad loss to oba he doesn't want to fight that guy and then he usually would take like four five six weeks of his of his family trying to get him to tell them what's happening and then finally after six weeks then he would do the i'm scared all right moment and then three more weeks would go by and he wouldn't show up and they'd show backstage luka and stacks and andch talking what are we gonna do about big tone i don't know it would be that same chapter told over and over again and finally maybe four months after the first thing we started doubting himself that's when big andch would go to him and say what are you snap out of it you're a good man you're you i know you're scared but it doesn't matter because we're always gonna love you luka believes in you stacks believes in you and i believe in you and you got to get back out there and take down oba femi and then tony d would say okay and then six weeks after that he'd have the match they've decided to do all of that in one night and i feel like even though we complain about how long they take to tell take to tell stories maybe there's a happy medium between nine months and one night well i don't like that they took a mobster and turned into an after school special when he was like what if i lose again and was like you will have lost through the fear that you lose who care i was like why what on earth is this episode of save by the bell because that was not that far off from i'm so excited so excited so scared from dusty span i would like when he was scared the acting i thought was actually really good both from tony d at and but like this story um here is why everybody thought that i was going to be super angry about tony d walking out on hammerstone taking the count out loss um and i was like no because i fully trust tony d to make to make this probably way too long storyline work because i assumed we were getting at least a month of him wrestling no pun intended yes pun intended with with his his um anxiety about this from whatever like he can't admit even to his friends that he's scared he keeps the book he's keeps taking matches and then losing or getting distracted or or like figuring out a way to make himself lose all the stuff i thought that i would trust tony d to be able to communicate all of that i love watching tony d act and i was like i'm going to get to watch him act his way out of what is probably going to be a dog shit story but he's going to be able to try and act his way out of it and i was really looking forward to that i didn't think i would watch him act his way out of the story in one night with like like four scenes like hey hammerstone i paid you money to take out that guy you do it okay if you're not going to do it then i'm going to take you out then the match which was him acting the whole way through it then i'm scared all right that's three and then four is him being alone in the dark when like big wearing a red suit for some reason where where and comes and says you're a good man we all look up to you and so what if you lose if you lose you find because we still love you and that's what matters what matters is this family and he did a good job with all of it but it just felt like you edited the movie down to a youtube clip and he just took all the scenes without anything that connected them and put them back and back to back to back it's also so weird to me that his only weapon was Alex hammerstone he didn't think to hire anybody out like consistently this mob family has had too few of people but now he's only he's like well if it's not hammerstone i can't think of another large bail wrestler that might be around in the entire wrestling world like that seems weird but what i do also this is something that like this story probably should bend multiple months long because of that like you could have Tony D doing everything he can to look tough but to avoid this rematch with oba femi that he needs so badly like there is there was a really great opportunity in a longer storyline with with stacks being able to come up to him first and be like hey boss listen i mean i had that match with oba femi he knocked a stuffing out of me so like i get it if you're scared what do you mean scared i ain't scared of nothing like he's trying to like he's he's putting on a show of tamping all of that down like that's a cool thing where he's like no i didn't mean nothing by it boss i promise you better not you ever say that again i swear to god i'll drop you off a bridge like have him play trying to tamp all that down because i know he'd nail it we got all of this in one night in about i'm gonna guess eight minutes of screen time when i know he's got a whole really cool long story and i do wonder because i am mean if this was the plan all along but the plan was for it to take six months and that's why we're doing this now we're doing it now for whatever reason oban what was they want oba on the main roster whatever it is that they want to do with this but they said we're doing it now and that's what it felt like to me uh it would also have been cool if there was like another rival for that oba femi had like Wesley's right now but if you did something where Tony D kept running into people and they were like no boss you'll be fine no boss you'll be fine but there was someone else who had seen oban was like i get why you're scared man like i i get it because i face that same fire or whatever like if there was some kind of moment for Tony D had i felt like that could be really cool but yeah like somebody for example who could say like i understand why you are nervous that you're gonna get snapped in half but i'll say this if you're nervous that you're not going to be snapping people in half bluechoo main event performance main event confidence and a main

functionality of my it's your it's your clumsy finger it is my clumsy finger it's very easy to accidentally swipe out of an entire string which is what a stream yard is not best features yes it makes it too easy um yes koi solings has sent in that ricochet versus mortise tomorrow that's going to hit that's so exciting yes it was it was it was heavily implied we were getting that but god bless a w for just straight up telling us ahead of time and not being like well you know what's going to happen it is official right now i'm going to be there yes i know i got to be there for the tomorrow and grand slam yeah i know say hi every day um uh jw prinkle says this was saved by the bell sopranos on fast forward safe but the bell sopranos on fast forward is pretty accurate yeah i also thought you'd agree with this like she she was no she she killed it yeah she killed it she's got acting chops too yeah you know i mean this is this was this was really well done by both of them it just it just felt wait you know what this is like i don't know was there this feels like an angle they would have done on home improvement was one of was the older boy like the quarterback of the football team whatever his name was uh there's there's the the older boy then there's jt t and then there's uh whatever the the the kid was the rad was the oldest jt was the youngest i forgot his name who was the middle kid no no no the middle kid was jt t then that was the the reason you think he's the middle kid is because he was taller than jt t by the time he was eight and jt t was like 11 you know what i mean so he played soccer anyway so that the thing stands like let's say Brad plays goalie or whatever for for a for a game and he lets like six goals go past him and he's like i don't want to do this anymore dad i'm letting my team down the only person you're letting you down is yourself unless you really don't want to do this anymore and if so your mom and i are still gonna love you but if you get back out there i know you're gonna stop every goal that comes by a gall dern it because i love you so much r r r r r r r r r r no there would have to be a talk with Wilson in between well well Wilson would be the one to tell Tim the toolman tailor how to say that to his i don't know how to talk to my son you know i'm a man and all that so emotions are beyond me can you have a face man wearing a fishing hat can you tell me what i should say to my child it was very wise it was brad lark and zach they figured it out the chat has us zach it wasn't zach that's what the chat said it wasn't zach i don't know um so uh yes uh as as louise says so tony d gets two weeks of story but chase u gets two frigate years of story randy randy randy randy was yes randy there you go yeah it is funny like the chase u one took so long and we're gonna talk about that in a second this felt like super speeded we don't have any goldilockses on the shelf there is nothing that feels just right here yeah um hey as that went uh speaking of zach uh comes out and cuts a promo um about he's about Wesley he shows footage of not the nxt parking lot unless uh nxt has a sister warehouse in date in ohio but um train mcgill getting into his car and Wesley running up and i don't know beating him up where we couldn't see what happened because uh he didn't actually beat him up um but it was implied that he beat him up and uh and he's like i'm gonna i'm gonna beat you up just like you beat up our friend trey in our chicago street fight in chicago which is where chicago street fights usually take place uh i'm gonna beat you up so bad and so that was it really that was it i didn't think it was anything you know what i mean yeah there wasn't a ton that happened on this one like this story has been one of the better built ones but this didn't uh do much yeah and then uh west cut a promo from his bedroom about how hey you know it's it's it's fine i went back to ohio's got to see some old friends ha ha ha and i'm gonna beat you zach wentz so it is it is brave for each man to say that they think they will be the victor in the street fight but you know that's never happened before it's never happened before uh thank you jambir the kids names on the show were brad the oldest jtt played randy and mark was the youngest who was played by a guy who had to take his parents to court because they basically stole his acting money yeah you could get away with a lot of shit uh well a time ago but not so much anymore so it's true on that one on that one um hey uh Eddie Thorpe defeated Ashanti the Adonis uh Ashanti the Adonis gave a rose to a plant which is kind of a fun little thing to think of but he gave a rose to a plant in the front row who was like oh this is so sweet and then he decided he was going to look at her and blow her a kiss and that was why he ended up losing the match so any Thorpe beat Ashanti the Adonis which is fine but Eddie Thorpe was in prime position to be a top guy on this show and he's having matches uh with with guys who are just here to hit on ladies uh before that he i think he lost the feud with Lexus king so like why are we we should be doing more with Eddie Thorpe because you i don't i hope you didn't put him over diejack in that feud and do other things well with him he got injured for a while and um now he's he's then he got injured again and now he's back he's cleared so having moved on from Ashanti the Adonis can we have things for him to do that aren't this yeah i feel like he should be in contentorship for at least one of the titles like if him versus Oba could be really really really fun him versus Ethan would have been great but him versus Trik would be like great i think um there was a moment on a commentary where Vic Joseph had said like Eddie Thorpe's essentially been the same guy since he got there meeting like essentially in our terms right like he's state of face since he's been there like he he has not changed his motivations or anything and Booker took exception of that and was like are you saying he has an evolve and uh Vic said no i just like me that he's been true to his roots and he was like oh okay as if he was calling a move but Vic Joseph just gave him clarity i don't know why but that sent me absolutely sent me one of the most unintentional funny things that i've heard in a very long time uh mesh is decent enough when we said NXT was just kind of there this is something that was just kind of there like i'm i'm very glad that we're still getting tv time for Medi Thorpe because he's great but he's like great like they need to to elevate him like he's someone that feels like when he came in should have been closer to main roster ready than NXT ready and now it feels like he's on the lower card or mid to lower card of NXT but like he he's been fantastic for in his career for a while now he should be like on the way up right um i'm gonna read some of these puns because they're too good no for it um lieutenant kurtl photo this is actually from missus lieutenant kurtl photo missus love her um when you're here your wrestling has more than one royal family uh lieutenant kurtl photo says

them coming you guys this is great we got so many of these i'm going to read some as we go um you know tyries halliburton is the one who shows up and says hey i think i will be the one to solve this problem i'll i'll get their signatures on this right i mean gold medalist gold medalist uh two-time all-star he's been very good the times we've seen him like he he gets what's going on um i i still have working very very upset that they did not build to an actual match between him and jaylin bronson because i think that would have been fun but that would have been cute yeah wait it's got their little interaction that was it um hey guess what's not fun this chase you story um like thea hale getting to not be her normal self and be down to earth uh and just be a regular like having to like drop into some actual you know being real and you know having to talk serious about something but the fact that she the thing she is talking about is this ridiculous story line hey rich i wanted to know that we everybody said horrible things about you but not us because we we saw the good in you and we gave you a chance and you took that and you squandered it and what you did to mr chase and uh and what you did to duke um i just i feel like i don't even know you anymore um i also wanted to call attention that it makes no sense why you even joined our college to begin with um the writers simply seem to have no idea what to do with you after they did that weird you fake injured um elia dragonoff story line which was just there so they could write them off tv for the month of january um then you do this thing with shawn spears that went nowhere and hit joe gacy in the back with a chair for no reason and we thought it was a good idea to bring you in to our college um we thought we were riding high after that sexy coeds calendar thing and we thought you know we just can't lose so we took a chance on you and look what happened i liked the line that she said about we didn't want to let it was something to the effects of like we didn't want to be the ones to have to turn around again and say you were right about him like that i thought was good of like we wanted to be the ones that believed in you and proved everybody else wrong uh because that feels like stupid or not that feels like the spirit of chase you right so i like that line and i i like when we get to see her be something other than hyped up like it's nice to see her sound like a person and i think she needs more time in that side of her so that these can come across she she did all right with it but i think there could be something really good if she gets more practice at sounding like how a human being speaks instead of doing like her ultimate warrior rope shake and just being hyped up at ringside all the time like let her tap into this more because there could be something really good and special there and she's gonna need that at some point if she's gonna stand alone literally at any point in her career she is very very young for real and she's got a lot to grow into but she i think does have a high ceiling and a bright future and i would like to see maybe not such a downtrodden thea hill all the time but like sounding like a human being is nice like i i appreciated that about this for sure um she's sitting there with riley uh and riley gets to do the second promo right afterwards which is like you took out uh mr chase you took out duke but i'm gonna be the one to take you out and i'm like oh you're not you're not you're not that it's not a thing that's gonna happen so um then ridge later is like uh hello ridge i'm a reporter who's stationed backstage she's not on camera i believe i have the voice of oni lorkin but um i i just um i wanted to ask you did you see what chase you had to say yeah i saw it i took out duke i took out on dredge chase and now riley i'm gonna take you out too two down one to go and i want him to say two to go even though he's not actually gonna have a match with thea like destroying all three of them i guess would break her or something but break a curve um i didn't like that riley still duke's line that he said on twitter where he was like i didn't want to be right or like i was so mad that i was right i was like hey yeah duke said that already i know you're on the same side of things but you don't have to be a copycat well he honestly he was right about ridge for longer than duke was he was the longest holdout on saying that ridge was probably not a not a good dude um what he should have done something along the lines of what makes me the most mad about all of this is i didn't trust my gut about you i knew something that wrong i knew something felt wrong and everybody else talked me into it and you could even do a thing like honestly i like the nuance of he's kind of pissed at the rest of them for letting this happen you know what i mean like these are my friends i called i mean what beginning yeah one of them is my professor it's a very odd relationship but um these are my friends and and i was right about you being a piece of crap and they told me oh no he's fine he's totally fine so i like said okay i guess he is and then you then you fooled me for about half a second now i realized that you know blah blah blah it's could have been fun did you not fight wrestling matches with your college professors is that not a thing you did no i i didn't i did like junior and senior year yeah they were theater arts professors they would they would have lasted about as long as you see i'm punking a royal rumble um they would not would not have gone well for them it wouldn't have been great wouldn't have been yeah um yeah anyway so we're gonna get um i guess i didn't hear i didn't see this apparently spears was watching um ridge say this thing so you know i actually wouldn't hate him and like the loose cannon being together like the guy that goes too far and then during people as the loose cannon as a group managed by Sean Spears you could tell me on that Sean Spears taking like ridge Holland who's just you know as i called him at one point a sentient side of beef and then uh and in the beach who's like now he's grown his crazy curly hair out so long he has to put it in a man bun like in the beard has just gotten completely out of hand he's becoming a Yeti he has he's become he's becoming a Yeti he's becoming a Yeti um so backstage they they asked um Kalani Jordan about something i don't know all i remember is that maddie ran caskey ran up to her mad renson claire and was like uh hey so charlie told me i'm supposed to like make a big do something big to like make a name for myself so let's be doing it she slaps Kalani Jordan and runs away they ask uh Kalani about the fatal attraction trio and how they said that Kalani is ducking them and she said i'm ducking them um other way around yeah they also said they're they're thing of like Jada Chang's Jada if you um wanted to find us you could find us you were actually weren't actually looking to beat us up with a baseball bat last week we're not intimidated by you at all and Lola vice Chang's there's no chance blue chew main event

and cetera galexander defeated the no quarter catch crew when uh uh renson clear was at ringside and colony jordan ran out after her to chase her through the ring because uh she had been slapped by renson clear this is the most fire i've seen out of colony jordan ever in my life yes she does not like being slapped no and i why would she that's terrible she she she she cares way more about that than being choked out by wendy joo that like twice i mean i wouldn't really want to mess with this version of wendy chew either i mean move move on because that girl has she's a bit of a weirdo true true uh thanks to see a little bit of life out of her renson claire is absolutely hilarious like she's i don't know where Ariana grace has been yeah but six seasons on a movie of those two uh any day of the week any day of the week uh i'm happy that we're doing something some more with cedric in rennick's tea he's a really really great wrestler yes um uh the at least twice i heard it twice booker tea referred to japan as the orient like like he's an agatha christie novel like the orient how how many decades has it been since it's been common practice for people to refer to japan as the orient other than or china or anywhere else other than learning like where the extremely outdated phrase of oriental came from yeah yeah like the literal orient i don't think i've heard anybody use that phrase outside of my grandparents and heard my grandparents say it 20 years before like i mean yeah like like i remember i remember in the 80s i remember in the 80s in social studies class reading about marco polo leading an expedition to the orient in my social studies textbook that was published in 1982 but perhaps not since have i heard anybody in earnest refer to it and as such i have no idea what he's doing man the fact that he did it once and then went back to the same well like a minute and a half later was like i have no idea man i didn't i don't know why he said it or doubled down on it and like he was he was he was talking about how um that uh tavion heights went to japan and learned a bunch of bunch of stuff a bunch of new moves that how to how to probably had a like you know take different moves how to how to be tougher how to control this breath differently whatever but he said oh that man tavion heights went to the orient like those dojo's in the orient yeah very very weird very weird yeah it was weird um but uh japan fence uh got the victory because of the thing that i said so uh he will be facing randy yorton yeah on that on that st louis show which will be good yeah i wasn't mad about this this was one of the stronger things of the night he's so great and i will say we have a lot of uh criticisms from week to week but i feel like they understand what they have in opa femi and i feel like they understand what they have in jwan evans and it's important that those two things be true like yes because those are i mean the phrase generational talent is sort around way too much in my opinion but like true true with them like there are there's no body like them in the generation that they're in right now and i i think that's really cool uh jambir as a question i'm assuming for some kind of jukebox uh question for k what are we calling your new voice impression the one you did last week with the uh glottal fry and the the california girl that one valley girl the kardashian wannabe yeah yeah yeah yeah that one that one yeah what if we were going to request you to say something in that i think kardashian wannabe because that's where it comes from for me and my sister being gweeb's about it we're just like i'm literally so tired today it's very like kourtney kourtney kardash it's this even organic two days in a row i've broken polowski and i'll take it let's go i'm reviewing the rest of nxt right now yeah it's like one yeah ny-e-e-a-h yeah put some rest back on my nam like all in this uh tom levalley says rails where we're going we don't need rails uh we're off them and um yeah so there we go we're never on um maneuver on them um so uh brooks jensen defeated deon lennox with his brooks jensen was the beach about to go to ringside and he and he's walking out there and shawn spears just hanging out his arm and a sling wearing wearing a suit jacket a double vested purple suit jacket with black lapels as a vest because he tore the arms of the sleeves off of it he's not wearing a shirt underneath it but he is he's sitting there wearing this particular get-up and a sling and just sitting in the back and goes good luck out there brooks well hey you want to come out you want to come out with me we're doing this really you want you want me you want me at ringside well yeah come on let's do this all right let's go and then he just gets to stand there for a while and uh brooks jensen beats the hell out of deon lennox until he looks over and picks up deon lennox's Clark Kent glasses that he left on the ground and he picks them up and he puts them on and he's like oh i'm blind hey everybody look at me yud weren't glad please and then deon lennox decides to beat him up some but then um uh when he hits uh the beach the beach drops them and they landed the corner right over by shawn spears who reaches to pick them up while standing on on the ground outside the ring and then deon lennox walks up and puts his foot on shawn spears his hand and says not today about eight times and uh waiting for the beach to go up behind him so he can turn around and walk into an edt and lose the chat hitting two things on the nose the first is uh shawn spears got invited by the beach because he was double breast um double breast in the double breast in the beach return it's actually it's a double breast vest so it's like it's like all like it's right there right there yeah yeah right again which is fantastic uh-huh the other thing is too many too many props and accessories in wwe right now we got beads beat bracelets the woofala has like tremendous amount of cultural significance so that's fine right like the glasses which is like a lot a lot going on in the accessories department that i feel like is overkill at the moment which is yoh's access is a person who has had glasses since i was five years old and cried the first time i put glasses on because i would for the first time see boo yes boo to this angle however deon lennox wears deon lennox wears glasses because they are an accessory to like do shorthand for his character that his character is smart because he wrestles without glasses like it is a it is a it is a thing that they've done it's a prop that they've given him to make sure the rubes know what kind of character he is it is it incredibly dumb but it is also incredibly insensitive to people like jesse who need glasses to see well and into smart people with context you know what i mean i don't know who that would be on this particular show a girl whose mouse is sticking before the thom say um yeah it's weird because it feels like they are going for something extremely specific with lennox and it doesn't feel like he's necessarily like popping out as a character that is getting to show a lot but this is fine i i feel for our dear beech like that angle was so hot we talked about this at the last PLE like it was such a hot angle and he was doing so much great character work around it it feels like they cooled it way the hell off i hope they did they heat it back up because he's he's good at this like he's he's good at specifically this of like the loose canon aspect it was rich holland could be a fun thing if shawn spears is building a stable but this was like such a a really high profile then hot angle that they had going and they just really kind of threw it off a cliff which is frustrating yeah yeah also frustrating a little device got three minutes versus jacie jane she won one with a spinning back fist um they're still doing the the fatal the fatal attraction uh toxic influence they're still coming out and doing the weird like we walked down to the end of the ramp and then one by one we shake our butts and then like or or we mentioned that there's just there's doing a thing they're doing they're doing a thing um it just feels it does not feel like these are people it feels like they are doing a thing yeah a little bit a caricature of themselves yes i don't honestly i think jacie jane is pretty good at it but i don't yeah she's had years of experience well yes but i also don't think she should have to do it is my point like i believe when she first started doing that for toxic attraction jesmine nix was in the sixth grade like that's how long it feels like jacie jane has been here doing the same damn character yeah um i i i liked the segment earlier god bless jane parkerman she's like she she has been watching a lot of kevin owen i feel as though like she um she kind of said like we're not we're not all hunky-dory me and you lola vice we just have the same enemy right now earlier in the night in a promo and i liked that i like it with people characters make efforts to do that because ww creative does not always i.e librarian take them right i.e lola vice and literally everybody else yeah she was a little less uh version like she was right right because she's she's she's she's got like she's got a she's got somebody in her sights yes she's she's she's focused fighter lola vice yeah um but also did you happen to notice who who was the one who came up behind her and had one line tonight oh who was it it was brinley reese but they've given brinley reese extensions and they've like waved her hair up so she just looks like all the other ones back there like i really enjoyed her like over peppy personal trainer character the hailey's sister yes the hailey's older sister but like she she wasn't gonna win any titles with that character but it was effective it was a it was a fun gimmick she played it really well she was always really committed to the backstage stuff and now that they've just made her blonde number eight yeah they really um there is an extreme lack of differentiation at the aesthetic of many of the women that are there and that was something that was a strength of theirs for a long time honestly it was like jg and jc and mandy didn't look like a lot of the other people when they were running stuff and you have a sleep demon paralysis there and you like right they had a a really good mix of that and now it's like they have somehow landish people and then a ton of blonde pallet athletes right that they they need to differentiate so that is a a backward step for sure in general and i would say it was brinley reese too um yeah because it's good when you stand out especially in such a chaotic environment like this right um luisa is not sure if it was the intention i would wager it wasn't but lola's dancing entrance with the face full of rage had me howling lmf ao yeah she was still doing like the like sexy i shake my butt thing but she was also like angry it kind of felt like it gave me the say it's very different but the it gave me the same energy as when jeff hardy stopped to dance to go save his brother from the ring like you were just like that's not like your body is not communicating what's going on with the situation right now a little bit um but it was refreshing to not see her be it's smiley happy goofy babyface like she her having somebody that did target was much much better the fact that someone with three minutes sucks and the fact that we got sam punk talked about nothing for right 15 minutes it's always the women's matches that get cut this happened on raw or it happened on smackdown right with me chin like yeah it's always they're just like we need more time so it's the women's matches that get cut by default it couldn't be everybody's 10 minute fucking entrance got it like no couldn't be that nope sam punk couldn't have named three less people like come on yeah um we got um the the three gals the fatal influencers ganging up on low laughter words and jada parker running down to um to make the save and boy howdy these gals were having a real rough time getting out of the ring when they were supposed to yeah like phalan got hung up on the middle rope and so jada had to toss her ass and then uh jasmine nix with all the consonants got hung up on the top rope and then jada had to dump her extra um and it just became like okay so let's work on that all next week you know what i mean like i remember when i was when i was uh doing athletics in uh in high school whatever we were really bad at during the game that was the thing we worked on obsessively for all next week of practice so i wonder if that'll be a thing that they work on with these gals this next week you know what's crazy i saw something on threads from landstorm that was about how he was like i would rather do a 20 minute match in a pulled part brawl any day of the week he was saying like those are so much harder than anybody gives him credit for yeah like it's really really tricky and it's not like you do them every week like unless you're an a w let me do them a lot because there are so many pull apart brawls so hopefully that is something they work on because that that one did look really rough that was brutal and then of course afterwards uh low device hates jada parker for coming down and and helping her saving her from getting beat to death by three women correct because she was she was taking a lot of punishment from that like she was getting kicked in the gut and in the face and everything she was getting the hell beat out of her and jada parker coming down to save her is the only thing that happened here's the other thing i have to worry about i have to i have to ask a little bit was it really worth it turning baby face if all the baby faces who pretend to be your friend in the locker room don't do shit to help you out like where's brinley reese and kendall and cassie and uh carly you're signing up for as a face and w we like you are losing all all of your friends if you know what we're early so we're gonna i'm doing things out of water here jambiard and i said in the jukebox that we're gonna do right now because this it's about this thing jambiard says in a conversation do we have the uh cali yeah girl yeah explaining the fatal influence girls to lint to linder and how they are different from toxic attraction well yeah so these are not the same girls from before with the mandy rose they're different now so different except for one of them who's exactly the same she's there okay but so they have to do different ones but she's the ringleader now and mandy rose off getting married and showing her like her beautiful self on the internet and making it kind of money for now so one of them one of them got promoted was it the jage was the jage get promoted she's literally so injured it's such a bummer but jc jane oh that's terrible for her who is a veteran around these parts now she is she's she's been here since 1984 she has and valent henley who's literally a horse girl she's so the horse the horse girls now she's with the 12 sick ladies now she adds and we love that for her you know who i think would be perfect for this you know who i think would be perfect for this i assume she is definitely in nxt because i have not seen her on the main roster kiana james is she in this because her personality feels like she would just fit perfectly here she was called up to the main roster and then has been listed in since when i have not actually seen any she's injured as well what what is it everybody getting injured i hope they have good health insurance it's just really dangerous and you need to understand that but the obvious and logical follow-up was to put a rookie with several consonants in her name who's had like five matches in her place yes yes yes so they're like literally so different than toxic attraction and they're fighting everyone do any of them have titles no well they're very they're very they're very different from toxic attraction we don't literally don't have tag type of on the next t anymore for women oh my goodness what how far have we fallen since the since the glory days honestly literally so far from where we were it's true it's true tell me about it girl yeah so i think we have to do a whole show as those characters one day don't know when but we will um hey you know what though what what if you like maybe a little bit more professional of a voiceover situation than us i know it's hard to believe yeah hard to believe but we'll tell you about hooked in voiceovers our own Matthew Hooks a valued member of the sgs who has his own wonderful and thriving voiceover business where he might not be able to deliver you white girl from california in the same way that i can but he probably could you can check out all of his

thing that i can do but he really does do incredible work you should check out his demos there's there's some really good stuff on there that you can uh you can hear him reading so check it out jambard says my sides hurt from laughing so much of that convo bravo you too i give you a standing ovation for that oh my gosh i hope you don't have to go to a local medical facility because your side hurts so much uh speaking of a guy who spent a lot of time in local medical facilities uh cm punk um decided to come out and be like wow guys do you remember last night uh how i was i was selling uh a grade two bead throat um i just have my had so many beads in my throat a couple of weeks ago that i could not speak normally last night tonight i'm fine um so a couple of sukrettes i'm all good i just thought i'd come out here and talk about how great all of you are totally just pander to all these fans and then i thought what i would do is just name all of the recent nxt people that i can think of right now whose names i know so let's just start out with uh carmallow haze uh broad breaker uh ethan page trick williams uh javon evans uh what's the tall guy die jack is he still around no oh um he did name lexus king and ethan page yeah he did notably both from age of youth that he had previously known he's like i don't know how big of a fan of this brand do you are though yeah yeah yeah yeah i was like i watch every week this brand here are all the six people's name i can mention um and uh and he had a big announcement to make but then he didn't make it because roxanne interrupted him uh and and then and then said uh that um uh i've always i've always actually i actually liked your wife better than you even though you're one of my favorites um and then she says i should have been a Drew McIntyre fan um and uh and you know then punk decides he's gonna try and clap back at her with something about how you know oh well Bianca and eo had a great match last night you know who would fit in perfectly would be roxanne but but it won't matter if you lose to julia in two weeks and then julia comes out and uh she says to roxanne your days are numbered or something uh countdown starts now doo doo doo doo doo doo doo um in two weeks uh you'll lose your title um and then punk has to like put an arm in between them so they don't fight that punk just leaves and we're like is well what was your big announcement i i thought for sure that because roxanne was talking actively talking shit to him that um he's a hbk told me i can do whatever i want on the show tonight so i thought that because roxanne was talking shit to him he was like i'm gonna be the special guest referee for your match and i was like when he didn't say that i was like oh thank god maybe he won't actually actively insert himself into a talk program on nxt and so later in the night we got tyree's halliburton doing a thing with the contract and then he says uh oh but one more thing and then uh cm punk comes out and cm punk says this match needs special guest referee and it's gonna be me and i since i'm the referee for that match i don't care if you guys start fighting right now cm punk is going to be a special guest referee on october first he has the match to end all matches versus uh drew mac and tire later like literally four five days later four days later um uh Ethan page's last most recent title defense also had a special guest referee if every match has a special guest referee guess what it's no longer special it's no longer special and seth was the special guest referee for drew in punk's match like enough and uh it's it's also for me one of my least favorite stipulations of the world and this time it's particularly egregious because cm punk doesn't have a stake with trick or ethan like he doesn't have loyal teeth to either guys what does he gain from not calling it down the middle he's not going to be on nxt i don't think any time soon that seems like a bad use of cm punk to have him actively wrestling against Ethan page or something so feels bad uh it just went on way too long that segment was so long and man i'm really tired of happy go lucky cm punk and everyone thinks like it's just because you like a w i miss the cm punk that was in wwe 12 years ago or whatever i miss the cm punk that was cool happy go lucky cm punk stocks look i'm so bored of like this place is so great and everything is great and let me tell you about these great people and these great names like when he said to Roxanne that may i retort like what are we doing you're not building to a match with Roxanne no i know this was so bizarre and i'm so sick of just like like i but here's the deal i thought because she was actively like trying to get he off of him that he was gonna be like i'm gonna be the special guest referee for your match so now you might get a comeuppance because i will help julia win right that that's as close as he can get to work in a program with with Roxanne who they're you know john back and john back and forth with as far as i can tell he's had no interaction with either trick or ethan prior to the main event slot tonight so like he doesn't none of this needs to be a special guest referee doesn't have to be that at all a special guest referee where you have no vested interest in either competitor is even worse than one where you do which is already boring so i i hate that stipulation that's right up there with lumberjack matches for me as things like i just if i saw zero of them ever again i would not be sad about it um and in this context i think it makes particularly no sense i get from a business perspective why they're doing it see in punk chicago cw that makes sense haven't be the host for that night have him be a special rig announcer like enough with the special guest referees and so many title defenses and so many shenanigans uh it gets it gets really really old and this segment for for two people who can't have a match the fact that this went on this long was like oh brother like wrap it up already let's go yeah i've been so excited for julia and Roxanne and this whole promo was between c and punk and Roxanne for some reason like we didn't build yeah anything with julia no we didn't um very weird meet normous says just think of what an xt punk era will look like ffs um yes ffs um is what i have to say about this is so everybody talking about era oh it's the it's the ego era the whoop that era era era era era or uh all these things i can say it's era or uh it's it's era or uh is what it is right now we had an aura of era uh so summer slam says uh so louis says that summer slam got a special guest referee nxt no mercy at a special guest referee and next week will too it's not next week it's two weeks from now and i don't next week they're doing a press conference during nxt next week the last episode of nxt on usa is like is has kalani jordan versus um versus renson claire and like us the waller effect the special guest uh nathan frasier and axiom and like and oh and ridge beating the hell out of uh riley josborn mousie rosborn and uh and and then a press conference featuring julia and roxy and and ethan and and trick if they're gonna be true to press conferences everybody should have to wait around for 20 minutes and be bored we says to quote the wonderful and insightful words of t-pain do something else yeah it is it's just because hbk was very famously uh a special guest referee on multiple occasions and cannot do anything but book his greatest hits but like you don't have to put the same one on repeat bro i know you don't you you certainly do not um it's also a crappy one to do like smash the special guest referees usually stink and doing one where there's no vested interest in anybody is the worst that's stupid puns and then jukebox and we're out okay oh no wait i lied because people sent in sourchats last night that i didn't get to because we were busy popping ourselves and so i didn't get to the sourchats so i'm going to read them now we also didn't really talk about the main event segment you talked about the contract signing card i mean what what about it tarry salliburton stood there and they signed the contract they they yelled things about how i'm better than you no i'm better than you it's a it's a damn contract signing what the hell what what did you see in it that was different fully became the special guest referee for that match that's what i said and he came out and he said yeah and then they fought and that was it and then they got held back security held them apart and then they were going that's it i feel like if somebody says let them fight security shouldn't come out no yeah but unfortunately it's really um the opposite of letting them fight it is it is it is the opposite um yesterday during the during the day um uh cyclo uh sent in um literally only saw the last three minutes of collision where out jobbers saved ftr from gyv wasn't until the day i realized gyv freaking lost ftr and got wrecked by out jobbers how is this tag division that's meet his revolution 2023 you listen i'm gonna be started about this i'm going to go off forever but then he also says literally only so how is damean versus dom the main event on the same card with meat versus meat and a tag title match i'm definitely not concerned that my earlier sour chats are going to be incredibly inaccurate by the end of the night realistically just the the jd feud end at bb uh by blood i don't know man i don't know i don't know i don't think so um and he cyclo also earlier earlier in the day said can't believe that you and kate predicted a ring collapsing spot for bronson and bron strowman perfectly no they didn't do it for the man who sadly did not happen raw was really good tonight not gonna lie he sent us hours before uh mainly because new day ended the syrific rain of hanana nana nana and we can do uh american loaves versus new day no we can't because they didn't do it um i love the poorly aged chats they pop me yes they're very funny uh and then i think there was one more that i uh missed which was the last one last night from meat normis that says i want gunter to be ready on site for any challenger he should squash people in a in a tight v-neck khakis and loafers if he doesn't have his gear i thought the hhh would book people the way they were before the 2.0 packs of ass days no unfortunately not it would seem fortunately not unfortunately not now let's do puns okay um um tom the valley says uh benihana komura oh and i i would to make it funnier say benihana nana nana nana benihana nana nana nana. benihana nana nana. benihana nana. benihana nana. thank you i didn't leave those ones to me hi eonara says bam bam

pews used to be in and having all that room singing us out they took out all the pews it decided they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time when we got up there found all the garbage in there and we decided it'd be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down in the city dump so we took half a ton of garbage put it in the back of a red vw microbust took shovels and rakes and implements a destruction and had it on toward the city dump well we we got there there's a big sign and a chain across the dump saying closed on thanksgiving and we had never heard of a dump closed on

That's beautiful. Finally, Tom LaValley Warts Toe Say Ricky Singed Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega. Thank you. I'm sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner. I'm waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee and it feels it only halfway. And before I even argue, he's looking out the window at somebody coming in. He's always nice to see you, says the man be out in the counter, choose the woman who is coming, she's shaking her umbrella and I look the other way. They are kissing their aloes and I'm pretending not to see them and instead I pour the milk. I open up the paper, there's a story of an actor who would die while he was drinking. It was no one I had heard of and I'm turning to the otoscope and looking for the funnies while I'm feeling someone watching me and so I'll raise my head. There's a woman on the outside looking inside, does she see me? No, she does not really see me because she sees her own reflection and I'm trying not to notice as she's hitching up her skirt and while she's straightening her stockings, her hair has gotten wet. Oh, this rain will continue during the morning as I'm listening to the bells in the cathedral or I'm thinking of your voice and have the midnight picnic once upon a time before the rain began. But as I'll finish up my coffee, it's time to catch the train. I just want to remind the chat like you're not required to be here. No, you can leave. Yeah, we do this at the end, we don't do this in the entire show. We should do it though. We should do it. We should just to make people like VC very angry. VC is very very angry very angry. A-G-R-E-Y, D-R-Y. Just like the other. Womp, womp. Is he A-N-G-R-Y or is he U-G-L-Y because he ain't got no alibi? Oh my goodness, sick burn! Right. Well, thank you! A message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former army infantrymen and ranger qualified platoon leader active in the army reserves. When I enlisted in the army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on one too. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Get the facts. Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent.
