Welcome to another episode of the NXT Sour Grapes thing. Normally, I'd throw it to Kate, but she's not here because she abandoned all of us. Because she loves her sister very much. It's disgusting. What are we-- this is this to go. Her sister, having battled through long COVID, decides to go back to school to get her degree and she's graduating tomorrow. And Kate thought it would be a good excuse to leave all of you-- the fans-- high and dry tonight. So we don't have a cake, but that's OK because we got something much better. We got double A, baby! That's right. It's an AA meeting. Two Alexes here to let you know that you need to accept the things you cannot change. And one of the things we cannot change is apparently how bad NXT is. So getting your Super Chats, getting your Humper Chats, it's a party all night long. And we'll be talking about this Go Home episode to NXT Battleground. So some interesting stuff, honestly, there's a lot of-- these are the episodes-- I'm here with Alexis Cardozo, by the way. We say double A, but maybe we don't know. P.F. People don't know, yeah. That's right. One of these-- it's one of these episodes that is the most frustrating because you're not a habitual watcher of NXT in the program. But you know enough that you can drop in and figure it out as we're watching. But the episodes where I'm like, gosh, if they just did this, this, and this in the next six weeks, they would be on their path to something really great. And then they never do any of those things, which is the most frustrating because I see a pathway from whatever this is to absolute excellence. And they never do any of the things, which just makes it frustrating. So like, there's really cool stuff here. I really love the face-to-face without the end of the show between Ethan Page and Trick Williams. I don't know how that's going to go. Frankly, I'm shocked they're not doing a three-way with no Amdara. I guess no Amdara is technically not-- maybe he's not cleared. But I thought that was the plan they were going to go with. They're not doing that. They're doing a one-on-one. I'm really intrigued by the TNA crossover, but don't actually think it's going to come to anything because, you know, history. And there's a lot of interesting stuff that happened on the show tonight, provided they move forward with it in a good way. And I just really want them to, and the problem is that I've seen them not do it so many times in the past. I don't mean this in a bad way. No, of course not. But the people at the top of the very, very top of the mountain here at Fightful Need to give you and secure you some good hazard pay for enduring this. And then you've got to move over to the CW in a couple weeks here, a couple months in oil boy. At least everyone will be able to watch it for free on your local CW network. It was a little rough for me. I got to admit, and I follow the product. I like to see what they're doing in every aspect of wrestling. One of my best friends is now the announcer there. So I support him, but Jesus Christ, that's how I'll leave it at that. We'll talk about these amazing matches. Fantastic. Mr. Bandana had says, am I seeing double? And Tom LaValley says, got to do it. I'm seeing double for Alex's. And that's the obligatory joke we get every time. And it's never not fun. No, it's probably one of the best lines. I mean, at this point, you should just trademark that, Alex. Right. Listen, if you were watching the review last night on Creffel Sluts with me and Kate, then you know why this is happening. And if you didn't watch that, then you don't. And no, I'm not going to explain it. Cookie puns. Cookie puns, I'll even venture into baked goods puns, cookie puns. We're doing cookie puns tonight. So far, we're going to get, we've got a few from E&R who says, Oreo Bafemi already. That's leading the clubhouse, trying to beat it. And then I guess also the cracker aisle, the cookie and cracker aisle. Let's do that. Crackers and cookies. Cookies and crackers. We'll do that. Triskit team 2000. That's for Kate. Kate's not here. Blackpool Combat Club crackers. And Stacey Keeblerell. So yeah, cookies and crackers. Let's get it done. Wow. And Lieutenant Colonel Foto says, Wendy Ritzer. And the Thin Mintr Continental Champion, Oreo Bafemi, also very good. And Biscotti Too Hotty. Oh. Okay. You know, that one, a Keebler got me. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so we, we have a, um, a little storyline going into the night that then happened. They're not doing it on screen. They're, they're, they're, they're trying to make it seem like a shoot when it's not a shoot. Because if it was a shoot, the things, the things that are happening wouldn't be happening. But I respect that they're trying to do like a, this is odd, kind of a deal with it. But Brooks Jensen, officially known on this show as The Beach, um, has been off of TV now for some months. He was in a little faction with, um, Josh Briggs, double vest and Fallon Hanley, horse girl. And, um, and they, they, they decided to go their separate ways amicably, but Josh Briggs got a little bit more aggressive because one times JBL said four words to him. And then, uh, Fallon Hanley turned heel because she didn't like being people's friends anymore. That all happened separately and with a great deal of time, separating it, but we haven't seen Brooks Jensen since he got his ass handed to him by, uh, Obafemi a couple of months ago, maybe three, I don't, a couple of months ago. Um, and he's been doing stuff where like that, that there was a rumor started that he had been released, um, and, uh, that this is why he's reacting this way on social media, posting all this stuff. But he crashed, couldn't quote, crashed a live event with a sign that said Brett would book this better immediately on this show. He is now a baby face, we have a huge baby face turn for Brooks Jensen, who held up a sign and a live event said Brett would book this better. Um, and has been posting stuff, uh, online on his, on his Twitter, um, little jokes at the expense of things, but also being like having a really good point because like, um, uh, Booker T again, whatever the opposite of a friend of the show is, that's Booker T. Booker T went on his podcast or whatever was asked a question about it. And he said that he thinks that sexy red and Lola vice should have a twerk off, like on television and, and Brooks Jensen had a really good point that, that felt that, that feels like a shoot, even though the rest of this is obviously a work, this feels like it should be a shoot if it's not, but he says this is the problem. Lola vice is an incredibly accomplished athlete and yes, she's beautiful and yes, she's good at sinking your ass, but if you reduce it to just she shakes her ass, discount all of the work that she's done to get where she is on the program. And that sucks. And he relates it to himself of like all these people who come to the PC every day and train and try to get better and go to classes and then you just reduce it to like shock value or like just sex for the set, for the sense, for the sake of selling sex and that's a really good point by him and anyway, long story short, too late. He shows up tonight during the show, during a commercial break, he like apparently hopped the barricade and like was yelling at Vic Joseph during the break. And not Booker T, who we should have been yelling at because that was the guy he had a problem with before. But anyway, they had to drag him out of the building. And then when they came back from that break, it's Vic Joseph looking like like you'd seen a ghost, like he did not like what he just had to think and Booker T, like well, it's a very odd night, say the Leafs were trying to get everything back to normal here. And then Booker T says, I hope that kid gets some help or something like that. I hope that kids gonna be all right. And then they just was like, what kid, what are you talking about? Because we had to find out from a cell phone camera, Twitter, what the hell happened. Then Brooks Jensen goes into his car and does a little thing into his phone about how like, I don't understand why I was the guy who came in with yes, sir, no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am was always respectful, was always here on time, put in the work, like he doesn't say this, but I'll say it. I mean, I didn't like how they booked it, but it's truth, former NXT UK Tag Team Champion. And I don't understand why I'm the guy who gets crapped on, that there's no communication. And then when I go to talk to somebody about it, they escort me from the building. But you know what the best part about this is? Now I can go anywhere I want, again, playing into the hole he was released thing. I can go anywhere I want. Maybe I'll go somewhere where I can make an impact. And so they're doing a story where he'll jump to impact for a while. Earlier in the night somewhere in there, we got a thing where maybe Tatum Paxtley goes to impact. Now, this is what the thing should be of a trade between an exchange of players and figure out what this is. But what do you think about this whole Brooks Jensen working shooting thing? You know, when I saw the, I was, first of all, when they came back from that, I was like, what is he talking about? So obviously, I immediately went into the Twitter machine where normally I go to get the best wrestling content in the world. And I saw the video and I'm like, for a second, I was like, I was like, the way that the security guard was pulling him back, I was like, oh, did he, was he, you know, was this something right that seemed like someone was really upset, but the way that they played it off on television afterwards was like, ah, you got me, you got me, but I'm not that dummy. But yeah, I just, I thought it was, I think it's, I think for them, this could be the right way to integrate the differences, the different talent into the programming. There, I don't think WWE is going to be sending anybody like of high end value to TNA, man. I just don't, I just don't see it at all. No, no, yeah, that, that, like, ah, listen, I really like Tatum Paxley. I think there's a really bright future for her, but it is a not a one to one trade for, for Jordan Grace goes to NXT and let's be honest, probably loses a title match versus Roxanne Roxanne will probably cheat on Jordan Grace, but yeah. And who are we sending back to get a title match with Jordan Grace? Tatum Paxley, who's like not on the level of Jordan Grace. I, again, I like Tatum Paxley, I think she's got a really bright future, but at this point in her career, there's no way that's a one to one trade. So it feels like, you know, and, but I'm interested in the basic, I mean, it does feel like this, you know, I mean, I'm, I'm sorry, I gotta call him like I see him. It does feel kind of like a Jack Perry goes to New Japan thing with Brooke Jensen going to TNA, but like if he comes back to WWE with the kind of improvement, because he's been like allowed to do whatever he wants with promos and like characterization stuff, the way Jack Perry, what Jack Perry left, honestly, at the point that he won the FTW title from Hook and then lost it back to him. If the thing happened with Punk never happened, I don't think that the Jack Perry we've been seeing who's been killing it in backstage promos, like I don't think that guy exists without that little excursion, without being allowed to be the scapegoat, you know. So I'm all for Brooke Jensen getting to like show out and be different. Cool. You know? Let's see what happens. I 100% I agree with you with that. Let's see if that actually turns into something that flourishes for the person, right? Because we've never seen this before in WWE. We've never like in the modern era, we haven't seen obviously any cross promotion back in the day. If for anyone who's old enough to remember, we saw it happening with ECW for a little while. You know, other than that, we never really saw a WCW and WWE mix even in the early stages of TNA that wasn't even happening. So, yeah, yeah. So we have some, we did have something here, did we miss something? I'll go on. We got something here that I missed that I wanted to. There we go. Jamie Pringle says, amazing Alex, other amazing Alex, Kate, wherever she may be, abandoning you JW Pringle, Papa, Mama, and sister Elizabeth, congrats on graduating us. Seriously, congrats on graduating. For real. I have no problem with Kate, sister, I have a problem with Kate. For valuing her sister over us. Luis and all the SGS, the beach has gone hard. Wait, what? Now listen, listen, I don't, I don't want, I'm not even gonna, because I feel like that's just too obvious, the, the, the, the beach going hard. It just, I just feel like if I were to throw to an ad break here, but just be way too obvious. So, is your sex life stuck in developmental? Well, get ready for a call up with bluetooth.com and the code FIFIL. Same active ingredients as Viagra and Cialis, but how about this? No awkward in person visits, no trips to the pharmacy. It ships straight to your door in a discreet package. But let me tell you, your package is not going to be discreet when you use bluetooth and the code FIFIL helps to give you that confidence, that performance to take you straight to the main event, if you know what I'm saying. When approved online by one of our physicians, it just arrives straight to your door. You're not going to have people nosing around with what you're doing and right now you get your first shipment free when you use the code FIFIL. Go straight to the top, you know what I mean. Memorable performance, high spot, you know, whatever other innu, innuendos you can think of, bluetooth.com and the code FIFIL. You looked at me in the eyes when he was saying that, but I forget. Honestly, it feels like he's talking to me personally and I don't know what he's heard, but it is not. On Friday night, Kate really cuts to my soul. Whenever she makes those transitions, bro, she looks like, "Damn it, Kate." So we got Ethan Page showing up to start off the night and security is there to escort him into the building. I've never seen that guy escort him into the building before, which is funny. Normally they escort you out, he got escorted in, but Ava is going to meet with her. And Roger Stone is with her, so I don't know, is this what he is now? Is Roger Stone Ava's assistant GM? Because he's not an agent anymore or a manager, he's, I don't know, but anyway, he's hanging out. At one point, he comes out and makes a tag team match. Yeah, it's a little weird. Yeah. What are they doing with him? I guess you're right. I have seen someone escorted in by security into the ringside area as opposed to into the building. I don't know if I've ever seen him escorted into the building, but I like that a lot. So that's good. So he's going to get his contract details ironed out. This is the thing that is a through line for the whole show. So we start out with Jordan Grace defeating Steven Turner. And this is, it's Jordan Grace. She's very good at this. And you know, she allows Stevie to get in some offense, but it was never in doubt. This is a thing to like show her to the NXT audience. He doesn't watch TNA. Those of the, I'm not saying the NXT, I'm not saying the NXT audience doesn't watch TNA. I'm saying part of the audience doesn't, certainly. And those people don't know her work maybe. So here's a little preview. This is why I always feel like you gotta have one mid-carder heel and face in both the men's and women's division that is on a heater at any time. You know what I mean? Just ready to break through or would be the kind of person that we've seen on TV several times who would run their mouth and get into a match with somebody. Right. Something like that. Because Stevie Turner, because I don't watch Level Up, I am not one of the 300 people who watch that weekly. I haven't seen her since she got injured and she had had like two matches during that weird like I'm a Twitch streamer thing and then she would like have a match. That was, I don't know, a year ago, maybe more. And I feel like it means more to the viewer who's not familiar with Jordan Grace's game. If she beats somebody they're familiar with who also ideally has been, who looks like they might be a threat. And because we're not familiar with Stevie Turner, this match just feels like it's obviously a tune up and that's all it is. Sure it is. I'm gonna beat you for that. You go on fight Roxanne, but I'm gonna beat you, I'm gonna beat you. And when I do, I want a title match for that on your show. And like they're not gonna win, but at least if somebody were to say that who wasn't Stevie Turner, maybe we'd be, you know, a little, I'm not sure. Yeah. When I saw her come out, I was just like, who? I felt like I, yeah, that was the first time on night. If I'm recalling now the last two hours, 12 and 15 minutes that I saw the show, that I went back to see who that person was. And I couldn't remember for whatever reason. And it's, and it sucks because, again, it's the WWE thought they're not gonna just feed someone to a T and A time. I'm sorry. They're not. No, you know, this is, this is a heavily one-sided deal. And it's always gonna seem even through NXT, it's just gonna, hey, here, we're gonna get light to T and A this way. Right. You know, this is our forbidden door or whatever they want to call it. Yeah. I think the lot of it is that, first of all, for the women, you have this NXT North American championship picture thing right here. You know what I mean? The perfect person to get up in Jordan Grace's grill and talk her way into a match would be Jada Parker. Mm-hm. It was doing something else. Like, that's her character. We've seen her have several victories on TV. She's not at that level yet, but she's perfect, she is. And that's the kind of person who, if you had this match and she gets to throw bombs at Jordan Grace, but Jordan base comes back, he's the juggernaut driver on her, and all of a sudden for Jada Parker, that's some motivation to that level where maybe she could be Jordan Grace. Like, that's a thing, but I understand that she's doing something else right now. Sure. The kind of person you want on retainer that can do that kind of thing in this. And it won't hurt them. It won't hurt them because you want them, you know, when you're doing this deal, yes, correct. You're all you're, it's a one-to-one business right there because Jordan Grace is an incredible freaking monster of a talent and you're kind of giving each other a compliment there at that point. Right. Yeah. Hey, just a guy reviewing wrestling. Sure. I like this from, for me and are with Ethan being escorted into the building is honestly they feared for his safety. They didn't want Ethan getting killed in the dangerous NXT parking lot. I'm going to be a terrible thing. He's not signed. So he's not covered by their insurance. So if anything were to happen to him, he could sue them, which is why you got to have a failing security surrounding him as he moves through the parking lot, right? I love this. So trick and, and lash legend are kayfabe not going to keep flirting. They're an actual item in real life, but they've been flirting on screen and lash says, whatever that is between us, that's got to go because I got to focus on being the first ever NXT North American women's champion. And you have to focus on what you're doing. So Oromenza and Noam Darb do not appear on the show tonight. And looking like they're going to, they're at least kayfabe out, right, been taken out. And so that's what they're doing now with this thing. And like tricks here to like find Ethan Page and get some revenge for what happened last week. So how familiar are you with tricks game with the ladies? Or have you not seen any of that? I've seen none of it, I'm just going to be really honest. First of all, this felt like a really weird novella out there in a lot. No, you're not wrong. If you guys follow Latin soap operas, they tend to get a little bit weird in dialogue. And I was just staring at them, wondering what was going to happen. You know, like, what's someone going to die in the parking lot and like, right, yes. Oh, so Charlie Dempsey is doing taxi driver into a mirror in the weight room, and he's not very good at it. But I get what they were going for. I don't I get what they were going for in the scene. I don't want to get what they're going for overall. Does Charlie Dempsey think that he if he is more of a mob boss or an Italian guy, that it will help him regain the heritage cup? Because I don't think that's necessarily why Tony DiAngelo is the heritage cup champion now. I think maybe it might have more to do with the fact that he pinned you in the match, not that he is more Italian than you are, Charlie Dempsey. I mean, yeah, it is it was I listen, the little scenelet made me smile, but then, of course, that's how my brain works. I worry about what the next step is and how how deep we're going to get into this thing. You know what I mean? Like how how far are we getting into like, I'm going to be more mafia guy than you are. Yeah. Because I feel like I don't know if these particular talents can handle that level of nuanced comedy. Ladies and gentlemen, that's just like 10 minutes into the show. I just I was I said to myself, well, I'm in for a treat tonight. I'm so glad I'm able to be on with Alex because I can't wait to hear what he has to say, but everything that has already passed on screen here. Yeah, but anyway, this is a little thing to do with with miles miles born and and Damon Kemp about before their match with the Heritage Cup and Damon, you've got to make me proud tonight. Capiche, like, why am I saying capiche? Also, is it weird that we're all talking to each other into a mirror? Like I think Damon, I honestly Damon Kemp, and we'll talk more about this when we talk about the match. I think he's got a lot of like natural, just a natural quality to him that I think will serve him really well. But I I thought it was very funny that he was like, I don't like it's like, Hey, good, I sent for you. And now you're here. I got out of the car with you in the parking lot five minutes ago, what do you mean you sent for me? Like there's potential here, I just don't want it to slide so far into what they do comedy but it's no longer comedy, but we'll see. So see a hail is going to have her match versus Jasmine Nick's because Jasmine Nick's is getting Jasmine Nick's, by the way, I don't know if you know this, I don't know if you read it on her thing, but it does not spell like Jasmine Nick's because they have a there's a Z in there and a Y and another Y and then an X. So we always talk about how many consonants there are in her name that don't belong there, but anyway, see a hails going and then Riley Osborne says, I'm not going to go out there with you. And Duke's like, yeah, yeah, I'm going to stay back here with him. And he says, but we're chase you, we all go out together every match. And Andre Chase is like, no, no, no, no, they're free to make their own decisions. I will be out there with you. And then Ridge Holland is like, are we going out there? And like, yeah, it's really not coming then. And Duke, no, he's, they're not, they're not coming. And so they go out there to have this match with the hail and Jasmine Nick's. Okay, so spoiler alert, later in the evening for no reason whatsoever, JC Jane comes back from having her nose broken in a match with the a hail weeks ago. She just comes out during an unrelated thing entirely to stand at ringside. If tonight is the night that JC Jane is coming back, wouldn't it make more sense for her to come back in this particular spot to help to cost the a hail the match she has against JC Jane's protege who was supposed to be taking revenge for JC Jane? I just feel like JC Jane like was stuck in traffic and got to the venue late and they were like, well, you're here. Would you like to stand at ringside for an entirely unrelated right? I don't understand why she didn't come out at this particular time, but she didn't. And the reason that the a hail is distracted is because the two gentlemen who decided earlier that they were not going to come to the ring did end up in fact coming to the ring. And that threw her off so much that she lost the match to Jasmine Nick's to a paylay kick, a good paylay kick, but a paylay kick, which never wins matches. I don't care who's doing it, paylay himself didn't win matches with the paylay kick. You know what I mean? Like, you maybe want a soccer match, but he never won or a football match, but he never won a wrestling match with one. So that was anyway, it was just odd that if you're going to have her lose because of the distraction and you have the person who's perfectly placed to have a distraction cost, you don't do that, you do something else instead. It's crazy to me the way you laid that out as I'm as I'm watching the show and now you're laying this out. Where's the person who handles continuity? They don't exist. Okay, just make it. They just don't exist. I wish there was a person like that, but if so, they are terrible at their job. Because I work in independent film and TV industry and we, that's part of our top five, right? A continuity producer on stage or on hand that keeps those on our toes. Yeah. You can make sure we don't divert from the timeline. Yeah. No, that's not, there's not one of those. Yeah. So we just fill in the blanks ourselves as viewers. We do. Oh, okay. Well, we get paid for that? Yeah, I guess so. So Fia Hale is so upset that she's lost this match to Jasmine Nix with the wrong numbers, the letters in her name. And then, you know, then Jasmine Nix gets to go backstage and I guess wait for JC James Uber to arrive. You know what I mean? Like, I don't understand. I don't get it. I don't get whatever it is this, you know. So anyway, this is an all time dumb, just incidentally dumb chase you thing. I'm on record is not liking chase you from the very beginning, but I don't understand what this whole thing is like, yeah, we're, we're not going to come out to ringside for your match, you know, because we feel like maybe you've chosen Ridge Holland over us and he's not even a paying, he hasn't even paid tuition to go to this fake university. So I don't understand why you like him more than us. Just kidding, we'll come out and stand at ringside kind of a loop leaning against the barricade five minutes into the match and then not do anything where we're out there. I don't know. It's just an all just very, yeah. It's concluded, man. And this is the one thing I was afraid of going into a show that I don't normally follow. I love the pay per views and I get filled in by all the vignettes and everything that's going on. So it kind of keeps me fresh and honest, but to come into an episode like this where I'm in and out of NXT kind of just, I watch every other week or whatnot, it just leaves you kind of like having to fill in your own blanks and having to search for the answers. Yeah. So on this program, we refer to the current NXT tag team champions of Nathan Frazier and Axiom as the blurry bros because their entrance they do with a weird filter on, which makes them look like they're running much faster like the flash. So I call them the blurry bros because they have no other than no actual tag name. So they got the blurry bros got jumped by the good bros, no word of where the Mario Bros were. I don't know if they also miss their Uber, but the good brothers beat up the blurry brothers in a merch truck and then said, well, see what battleground and they got dragged off security. Maybe it's the same security that was stationed in the parking lot for the other reason that they're just hanging out, nothing else to do. So they, but yeah, they're getting their match of battleground, but they didn't have the match tonight that they apparently were scheduled for. And then there's a little promo later by Frazier and Axiom where they just say, you want to attack us? Well, we're going to do our attacking in the ring when we defend our tag against the battleground. Well, this match should be fun. Finally, the good brothers are actually paying off that they've been in NXT since March. And finally doing something of note. So I wouldn't be surprised if they won, but if they do, I really don't want them showing up on SmackDown to like just kind of barely accompany AJ to the ring for fake retirement. You know what I mean? They should be an NXT proper from there on out. Yeah, I agree. Sean Spears is leading the seminar with Javon Evans and a bunch of rookies that we haven't seen wrestle. Uriah, something, I forget what his last name is, it's not Finley because he's actually fit Finley's kid, but we're not using Finley, but he's had one match on TV. But we haven't seen him do anything else and Javon Evans is there. And I'm wondering why Javon Evans, who is verging on like the third or fourth male lead of NXT at this point, I understand why he's sitting there like as part of this group of people who are all probably wanting to get some information from the former Thai Dillinger about what it takes to break into TV in NXT. And Javon Evans has fully done that already. And he also seems like he doesn't want to be there, so I don't know why he's there. But he's Sean Spears leading a seminar and in walks Josh Briggs. And Josh Briggs says, don't listen to this guy. They're like, what are you talking about, Joshua? It's Josh. And anyway, I saw what you said about me last week. So at least we know that one person does watch the program. Yes, yes. Josh Briggs was not around when Sean Spears said those things about him. Most of the wrestlers, it is to be noted, do not watch the show. >> Correct. >> Otherwise, they would not be so surprised by things that have happened recently. >> I've heard you say that multiple times. >> So Josh Briggs is like, you want to say something about me, then let's do it, let's fight or whatever. Now later, Josh Briggs is going to come out, but no, send a camera back there. And apparently, Sean Spears, out of view of the camera, hit Josh Briggs with a chair. I don't know if Josh Briggs is just not cleared yet, or they wanted to do this other thing instead with Sean Spears. They seem to like, they do seem to have a plan in place one week, and then say, you know what, instead we could do? What if we did this entirely different thing? And then it becomes like, how do we get from the thing we were going to do to this? So I wonder if they're, they were going to do this Josh Briggs thing, but say, we need to do a Jevon Evans thing right away, because we want to capitalize on how hot he is. And so Jevon Evans saves Josh Briggs from the attack by Sean Spears by having a brawl with Sean Spears that ends with Josh, with Jevon Evans doing a crazy springboard cutter from outside in and, and, you know, just stand in tall and talk in trash to Sean Spears. So. Yeah, I'm, I'm trying to figure out another segment here, where, where they're trying to, how they're trying to use Sean Spears here. Where does he stand? I'm a little confused with what he's doing now at NXT. He came back and attacked Rich Holland to prove that Rich Holland is actually a very violent and reckless man because Rich Holland tried to prove that he wasn't. Listen, it's hard. This one of those things were like, I don't know how much of this you watched, but Rich Holland showed up at NXT to like, try to prove that he wasn't a violent and reckless man without saying, cuz I'm the guy who maybe ended Big E's career. They didn't actually say that loud, but they're definitely referring to it. And he's like, I would like to prove that I am not the man everyone thinks I am, i.e. very violent and reckless by having a match versus Ilya Dragunov several months ago. And then in a kayfabe way that a lot of people online thought was real, horribly injuring Ilya Dragunov's neck, you know, to prove that he was not violent and reckless. They had him do this thing that seemed kind of violent and reckless. And since then, it has not made any more sense. So Sean Spears tried to like teach him that he really was violent and reckless by having like a two match feud with him that went nowhere where Sean Spears won the first one, Rich Holland won the second one, and then that has moved on. And then Sean Spears had a thing with Joe Gacy for a while, cuz Joe Gacy was crazy, but now Joe Gacy's part of the Wyatt six, we think, so he hasn't been on TV for a while. And they're trying to figure out what they're gonna do with Sean Spears. So being kind of crazy guy who wears a suit vest with nothing else, talking to children about about how to be better wrestlers is the best thing they got, you know? Okay, I was because I was trying to piece things together. And I was just like, all right, you know, storyline, where's what's happening here? I know we're big into stories and storytelling. Yeah. So yeah, I'm glad you clear that up for me. It's it's what I mean, God, I have a weird recall of all this stuff I have to watch every week. But yeah, geez, I'm sorry, Javon Evans versus Sean Spears could be really great because John Javon Evans is only 19, but ridiculously talented, and Sean Spears has all this experience and has been a coach himself. So to like have, and again, I don't know if the plan is this, the last couple feuds that Sean Spears had lasted a total of two matches and then one match. So I don't know if they're going to do a long feud with Javon Evans, but Javon Evans could certainly benefit from it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I forgot like Ridge decided to come out and say that he was going to retire. And then and then he was part of the pre-show panel for Santa Deliver during which he grabbed the chair and hit Joe Gacy in the back with it. Oh, boy. And then they never really paid that off and he was just a wrestler again the next week. So yeah, it was dumb. So when you talk about continuity, I'm like, I think I'm the close. The closest thing NXT has, and they just don't listen to me. So man, we got our NXT North American Women's Championship Summit, NXT Women's North American Champion. I've heard it said in different, the only, the only word that is never not where it's supposed to be. You know what I mean? Like it's always NXT blank, blank championship, but I never know if it's NXT. Women's North American or NXT North American Women's Championship, I don't know, I'll figure out eventually, or maybe I won't. Maybe I won't, maybe I won't. They won't tell us. I will refuse to figure out, and I'll say it wrong every time. But this summit with all of these women is, I don't know, it's moderated by Booker T. So right away, it's terrible. Because Booker T is somehow a worse moderator than he is, a commentator, and I didn't think that was possible. I think it was possible for anyone to do anything worse than Booker T. commentates wrestling. But he himself is a worse moderator. He at one point turns to the crowd and says, can I do the circuit, ducky, quick, and the crowd just gives it to him. >> I mean, I just, I don't know, but these ladies obviously all think they will win. All think that they deserve the title. All think maybe the title was actually invented for them specifically. And then they all talk to each other about why the other person is wrong. And it is in fact, themselves, that will be the winner of this ladder match. And it's just a standard fair, except for at one point we got a lot of Jada Parker talk about tricks, Willie, to Jada, to, to, to, to lash legend, and it eventually just breaks down into a brawl where it was always going to do that, but you know what I mean? It's just, it is fairly standard, like thing for a match like this. I don't feel like I learned anything about any of these women. >> I saw this, I started to pay attention to it, then I got thirsty, and I don't remember coming back to it. >> No, yeah, it's fine. >> It was, I don't, I don't know if they were trying, what type of spotlight they were trying to put on the women, it certainly kind of wasn't, wasn't hitting for me. I am, I was interested in seeing what, you know, individually they were, they wanted to do, because I want to follow it, but it wasn't hitting home. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. [LAUGH] >> It's fresh from Alpha Bill. It'll be fresh, if one former actually said, you know what guys, I'm just happy taking part. >> Sure, yeah. >> And that would be nice. The closest we got to that was Kalani Jordan, who's like, you know, hey guys, I don't understand why everybody's. >> Yes. >> So angry, but I think I'm going to win, and they're like, you're going to win, I'm going to win, you're going to win, I'm going to win. Was basically the whole thing. Now, Jada Parker, I think, is a very natural talker, and she did well in her segment, but also it just, it always, all of these things always boil down to. I believe that I will win the match, and the other person saying, how dare you, I believe that I will win the match. >> Sure, yeah. >> And when there's six of them there, then it just does that, add infinitum to each other forever until the brawl starts. >> Yeah. >> I don't feel like it was anything that was really learned here. And then, while they're brawling, the heels, although Lash Legend is turning face, but she's not face yet. >> Right. >> So the heels, Jada Parker, Fallon Henry, and Lash Legend get sent to the outside. The faces are standing tall, and out walks Robert Stone who says, I have just been authorized by Ava to come down here and say that if you guys want to fight tonight, you can do it later in a six woman tag match. And I was like, you were authorized when this, like right now, are you, like, I love that he had to come out and go, Ava told me I could do this, because if he didn't say that, I wouldn't know. You know what I mean? >> Yeah, that's true. We're still trying to figure out what he's doing. >> I thought that was kind of funny. So yeah, Mr. Showtime says, what was Keilani doing, Jordan doing, when she's saying the Lonnie thing? I think they're trying to give her her own nickname, like Lonnie, Lonnie's, I don't know what is it a good alliteration for Lonnie, because I don't think I could think of as Lonnie's going to lose, and you don't want that for your own nickname, that's bad. So I don't know why Keilani doesn't work for them, but maybe they want to just change it to Lonnie, Jordan. Maybe they think that's better, it snaps more, I don't know, but it was weird when she said it. I didn't like go, oh, that's you. So, we get the NST Heritage Cup match, Tony D'Angelo and Damon Kemp. Now on the way to the ring, Tony D'Angelo did this thing. He was talking to somebody, he was like, they were like, so for the Heritage Cup match and all this stuff, what are your plans and all this stuff, and they were like, well, I got my guy, Luca Crucifino over here, he's on the whole contract, and he assures me that we know all the ins and outs of all the rules of this no-quarter clutch clause. So rest assured, we will be using it to its fullest tonight. And he walks to the ring and also in their gear are stacks and Luca Crucifino. Now, Tony D is by far the better wrestler of all three of these guys. So it would make no sense for them to choose anyone but Tony D'Angelo to defend the Heritage Cup match, the Heritage Cup. The thing with the no-quarter clutch club before, when he who shall not be named was the leader of it, is that they were presenting themselves as we all trained together, we all know each other's moves, we can all counter all of each other's moves. We're the best wrestlers, grapplers. So it doesn't matter which one of us defends the top of the cup because we're all just as good as the other one. And while I didn't necessarily believe that, that was certainly the thing they were running with for that group. It doesn't make sense for another group who's not like that to do it. So what I thought they were going to do was to realize that inside the catch clause, there's some kind of thing in the fine print where you can have a different guy from your faction wrestle every round. So a fresh dude in there every time, like start out with Crucifino and then stacks and then Tony G takes over and he wrestles for the rest of the match. I thought it was like the idea that you would do a thing for now weeks, I think, of Luca Crucifino looking into, I've read everything about this no-quarter clutch clause and I've found a few things in the fine print that might surprise you. And the whole thing was, yeah, we're just going to have our best guy wrestle the whole match. How is that a surprise? How is that a surprise? Surprise. It just isn't. So the surprise is that Tony D wins two falls to none. Yeah. I mean, I thought it was a surprise, but usually they let the other guy get a fall in here. Camp almost did, but it was saved by the bell last second and the ref's hand didn't get a count of three, but I love that Tony D's got two finishers now. He's got the, what they call the forget about it, which is his twisting fisherman's suplex, which is awesome. And then he went with that for the first fall and for the second fall started right as round four started. Camp ran right into this big Farouk spinebuster, which I also love that he could just lay somebody out with. That was great. And the diamond camp is a diamond in the rough. Like again, I think he has a hell of a natural quality when he speaks. He's got a good thing to know is it's definitely when to underplay the comedy. Most wrestlers never know when to underplay the comedy. So like, that's, that's a big thing for me. Then apart from that, he's also got like, he's one of those dudes like, would you like me to do like the triple German suplex, but instead I'll do it like five or six times in a row. Like he's got that kind of ability in the ring to like throw guys around. He's a suplex machine. Like that's some really cool stuff as well. I think there's a lot that Damon Kemp can still do and beyond NXT, there's a lot of that kind of stuff there. He feels like a dude who provided that Chad Gable does resign if a jad gable is going to be a guy leading a faction of grapplers on the main roster, just put Damon Kemp in it tomorrow. He's ready for it. Like he knows how to do that whenever he needs to talk, he'll be able to and he'll be able to do a bunch of suplexes. Yeah, he's, he's very good and highly underrated. Unlike his brother. Michael Steveson, who John with GM reminds me that gable Steveson who got released because he just wasn't picking up anything and then also has like people he worked with who are no longer with the company who feel safe to do this on Twitter saying like, yeah, this guy was terrible. He never, never put in the work and he thought everybody should just count out of him. He got signed by the Buffalo Bills as a defensive lineman, John Wick and I was like, oh, he probably played that in high school or something, nope, has never played football in any kind of organized way. The Buffalo Bills are like, yeah, sure, let's give him a shot. And I feel like that's just, I don't feel like that's going to work out for gable Steveson the way he thinks. I don't know, man, man is maybe he's a freak athlete. Maybe he's the second coming of the Brock Lesnar type. He is. So Brock didn't make the squad when he tried out for the, no, he definitely is a lot. Yeah. That was weird. That was a very odd thing. And I don't, I don't, I don't think it's going to work out for old Gabe. Poor guy. Yeah. Um, so, um, no, okay. Ava is interviewed about what the, because we see Ethan leave the, the office and, and it's like, you know, you're going to sign that because I got all the leverage. Um, I cannot, with all of these crazy, you know, things that you asked for, I can't possibly sign this contract. Like you're going to do it. And we're going to do it in the middle of the ring. Cause we're going to do that out. We're going to do it in public for an everybody, whatever she gets interviewed and she says the same thing. I can't possibly sign this. Look at all these things. Um, but we also get, um, we also get, uh, Jordan Grace walking backstage and like she has a reunion with Mia Yim who they, they wrestled several matches against each other and TNA, um, uh, and then Jada Parker comes over to be disrespectful to both of them and she says, you got to straighten that out. Oh, don't worry. I'm going to muzzle her. I got to go get changed for our big match. Put a pin in that cause I'm going to get back to it later. Um, and then, uh, she also walks and she, she talks to, um, so Ruka, who's very complimentary and so I'm a big fan of yours, uh, you are so Jack, you got to tell me what, how much you squat and she says, you got to tell me how to do that soul snasher, blah, blah, blah, and then they, they, they walk out and then they're walking along and Ariana Grace walks up to her and says, I don't know if you know this, we have the same last name though we're not related. And listen, if you take the crowd off of her and the sash, I have 1000% in on this character. They have never to my knowledge ran a who is missing next to beauty pageant. So I don't know where she got the sash or why she thinks she can just call herself that that's weird. But everything else about the character, she is delulu in the best way, fully delivers on the character. I think she's doing great. Um, uh, so I just wish the crown of the sash weren't there cause it doesn't make any sense to me. Um, however, um, I love Tatum Paxley coming in and being like, uh, that's a really beautiful out. Yeah, thank you. It's the most important thing in the world to me. And then after she leaves like, it's the most important thing in the world, which Tatum Paxley's done a thing where like she was, she was fixated on the, on the women's championship a couple of, like a month ago and they kind of dropped that. So like Tatum Paxley go like stalking Jordan Grace in TNA, like getting to like really use her character chops where TNA really lets people like get into the character stuff. Yeah, I think that'll be great for her. When she comes back, she'll be fully inhabiting the character and stuff. But it makes me wonder just how much of the crossover we're going to get, but I'm fully down for Tatum Paxley having like a month long where she just shows up in TNA and doing stuff. Sure. That's, that's one of the things I was saying before. That's the great part about having good talent, get a little bit more freedom to explore within themselves. Right. I think she's definitely one of them that could 100% really take advantage of, of this, of this partnership. If they go that way, if they go that way. Yeah. So that was interesting, her meeting, you know, most of the, of the team. Yeah. We got to, we got to look at Lola Weiss and Shayna Baszler, this, this felt, you know, incredibly well produced. It makes my luck around. I liked that they, they got some MMA people to be like, Oh, Shayna's going to kill her. Yeah. You know, because like it's, it is interesting, like Shayna Baszler is one of my favorite women's wrestlers of the last decade. Really? I, I, I love what she does and when, when, when she is allowed to just be what she is, which is this absolute killer, elbows, knees, ripping off limbs, you know, like the thing of it is, is the way she was booked in NXT, because she was a champion. You know what I mean? She was allowed to be that, you know, and then the weird thing was like she came up to the main roster. The first thing she did was like take a bite out of Becky Lynch. Yeah. That was weird. But then like still no one's ever done this. And it was the coolest thing in the world when they did it and I, it, it, what like the apex of what she was even better than in NXT in the elimination chamber match. She beat everybody, she pinned or submitted all five of the other women in there. And she did the other four so fast that she was standing in the middle of the ring alone when the last pod opened. Yeah. Oscar exited her pod and there was nobody else in there but Shayna. Like that was, that is some of the most dominant booking. I think I've ever seen man or woman and I don't know why. Yeah. And then she went to WrestleMania and Becky apparently fought for Shayna to go over and they just said, no, all of the no fans in attendance will be very upset if that happens. And, and then they just didn't do that. And she's been wallowing in mid card hell for a long time on the main roster. I like this pairing she has with Zoey Stark. But like this is the kind of match that would feel like this is. Shayna's match. Like this was the kind of thing like going back to who she was in NXT. This kind of match existed, this is the character would have insisted. All of my title defenses are fought in an NXT underground match. Sure, if you're going to beat me, you're going to beat me at my game. If I'm losing this title, you got to come into my house into my ring with where there's no nothing protecting you and see if you could beat me. That would have been an amazing thing and I like this, but I still feel like. A little vice has got a win, she's the NXT up and comer, she'll probably win via chicaneary or whatever. But it's a battleground match, really can't cheat in it. So we'll see where this goes, but like this, they have an opportunity to really do something with this for both women that could be great. Shayna to me has that old school vibe. We come from an era Alex where in wrestling when you wanted to settle something, you settled it in a specialty match, people that wrestled that had a special gimmick. Kind of like mankind, boy the room match, tame, infernal match, right? All these matches, casket match with Undertaker. You knew those matches were common, shit was going to go down, excuse my language. But with Shayna man, if they were to have that mentality with her and she would have all her matches, like you said, and it triggered it, it was the wrong, the bell in my head was like, bam, she would be such a dominant beast. Regardless of the she was in the mid card, floating around, whatever. When you knew that Shayna was going to come into the ring into one of these matches, you were going to get fucking hell. You know what I'm saying? >> I want to believe they're doing this women's NXT North, NXT women's NXT North Women's American Championship. I want to believe they're doing that as a test balloon for a mid card belt for women on the main roster. >> The main, yeah. >> Because I just hope they don't wait so long that like Shayna is like she's 40 now or whatever. >> Sure. >> Cuz sometimes the test balloons, they take a long time for them to actually pull the trigger on something. She is the perfect woman to hold a main roster mid card title. And insist on defending it in that kind of way in the fight pit or whatever. And that would be like a major deal for the mid card women to like have to come after her. And if you're gonna beat her, you've got to beat her like in this way to do it. Like it would be a really cool thing and makes the mid card women feel special and different and unique. >> Go back to the mid to late 90s check Ken Shamrock was a mid card player. You never thought you were gonna see Ken Shamrock come out of anything else. That man held that intercontinental championship. And if you wanted to fight him, you fought him in the goddamn octagon. You know what I'm saying? And that's where he had his matches. If you take if you were to take a women's intercontinental championship and instill that into the main roster, my God, should be the perfect candidate to run around and beat you want this? Come and get it. >> Yeah, she'll be 44 in August, like if there's any, if there's anybody, if there's anybody I want to be wrestling as a woman in their 50s, it's Shayna Baszler. She's older than me, there's no way. She got a really late start coming out of MMA into wrestling. And it's crazy to me how good she is at the wrestling part of it apart from the MMA part of it. That's, I mean, I really love her. She's, I would love for her to have this really cool end of career run. Like she'd be the perfect person to win that intercontinental title for the women. And then say, you beat me for this? I'm retiring. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> And she doesn't retire for two years because nobody beats her for it. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> Like that'd be a really cool thing because she would be at the age that she would retire. And like that would be an awesome way to like to send her out as the first intercontinental champion, the first one setting a record that no one's going to break for 15 years. And when she goes out, the person who beats her get is a huge rub and she retires on the back of it. >> How is Nadi younger than her, my God. >> I don't know. That's great. >> Nadi's been wrestling for 37 years. >> Yes. >> So, Jim Beard says, give me Jordan versus Shayna. >> I don't know how I feel about that. >> I mean, the match would be fucking great. >> Yes. >> You know what I mean? It would be just like, let's see if you can be so powerful when your shoulder's out of joint. >> Yeah. >> Like that's those are the kinds of matches I want to watch Shayna wrestle because she's like, you're way stronger than me and faster than me. Let's see how fast you move when you're ankle and your ankle ligaments are all are hanging by a thread. You know what I mean? She's the kind of person who finds little things like that. >> That's the type of match that I think I would use the old AEW time limit draw. Because you would have these two women beat each other to a pulp. You know what I'm saying? Like they're strong, they're agile. One could rip your arm off. You said one can put you in a, you know, vertebrae or and into a table or whatever. Like it'll be such a badass man. I love women being the crap out of each other. I don't know what it is. Big women being the crap. I love big women being the crap out of me. I don't care what it is. Let's just do it. Like I want to see women wrestle. >> Yeah. >> So, apparently this was set up like in a tweet or in a tweet. By Nati and then they kind of referenced it on the show but not really. So Carmen Petrovitch got shoved backstage by Izzy Dame last week. And Nati is here to like protect her protégé and so Nati has a match with Izzy Dame. Izzy Dame is five foot ten, the former volleyball player. She really like looks way bigger than all these women. And Nati, of course, is a prose pro and has been doing this forever. And when I tell you how long she's been doing it with a number that's going to floor you, you'll realize I'm doing this as an understatement. But she's a prose pro, I've been doing it for a long time. And she had a thing last night where she lost a match to Keanu James. And then she was like, it's time for a change. I'm sick of this. It's time for a change. Which of course is the immediate predecessor to a heel turn. But then she showed up at NXT to like protect her sweet protégé Carmen Petrovitch, which is not part of a heel turn. But then she won this match versus Izzy Dame with a roll up to like escape, to like get out of the match as fast as possible because otherwise I'm going to lose. That's how it feels when that kind of roll up is done. And then she was like surprised, she was like, I did it. And then she like, and then she says the camera, I told you, it's time for a change. So my question is, why is a woman? Who's nanny shocked that she beat Izzy Dame and needs this as a validation of the change that needs to come because Izzy Dame, including matches that have not been televised, has wrestled 42 times in her life, 42 matches. Natalia has wrestled 1,567 just in WWE. That number is over 1,700 if you encapsulate her entire career. My God. And so the idea that you'd be like, Oh my God, I beat Izzy Dame. That's right. A change is going to come. Like it just feels like you're not your, you could call her the boat. But if she really is the boat, then she should have been able to like submit Izzy Dame with a sharpshooter and walk out going like, that's right. Last night was a blip on the radar. But I, I realize who I am now. I'm natty effing heart. Yeah. What a step to me. That's what you're going to get as opposed to, I can't believe I beat this rookie. Yeah. She should be better than that. You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, I can't believe we just talk about nanny and what a great segue almost, you know, I'm professional here. I'm a big, big professional. You are, you are that she, what are we going to do in Natalia? She seems like to me, she's like the, I don't mean just like in a way, like they're the same person, I mean, in wrestling world. Yeah, like the great moula, she was she was, you know, she was part of WWE for 176 years. Until her dying breath, basically. Yeah. Do we see Natalia being this, this, this involves in WWE and wrestling with the younger talent? Whatnot? Apparently she's her contracts up soon. So like one of many and many and many, many, many, many, many, many, yeah, 2019 contracts in 2020's coming up. I can't imagine that she would go anywhere else. She feels like a pretty much a lifer. But the minute she decides to step back from being a full-time wrestler, she's your, she's your head women's coach. 1,000 percent looking all the women's matches. Like not like her and her husband, TJ Wilson, former Tyson kid, should just be the bookers of the women's division. Yes. Yes. Let's lay out all the matches. They should figure out like they should work with creative to figure out what here. Okay. So you telling me that this woman needs to beat this person. Okay. Now you go away. Yes. Now the wrestlers and the two of us will lay out how that's going to go. Yeah. Great. And I mean, this thing about her is you can also have her come out of retirement. Yes. And have a little run with somebody in a while and then go back. You know what I mean? You ruffle the feathers, she comes in, beats you up, slaps around, he just goes, the thing too is when Natalia is like, how much, the reason why I bring that up, Alex, is because I want to know how much more can we refresh her character? You know, last night enough is enough and it's time for a change. Like, but what is the change? Because we've kind of seen this happen a lot. When Eva Marie came back, like her and Mandy, like there was a lot of things that happened in the last five years, almost. So I just want to see what, you know, with her inclusion to NXT, how is it helping the younger town there? Yeah. Yeah. And again, if she's the, if she wants to leave, like, just have her just go to stardom for a year. You know what I mean? Just like, just wrestle, wrestle these amazing Japanese women. You know what I mean? With the amount of anybody, listen, anyone with 1,700 matches under their belt is going to be an asset to any company. So like, yeah, absolutely. Nanny should go, she'd go wherever she wants. But she has so much to offer beyond being a lady on the, a lady in the midcard. You know what I mean? She's got so much, you know? Yes. So anyway, I guess a change is going to come for Nanny. A change is on the horizon and we'll see what that change is. And it could be nothing or it could be, I don't know, she dies her hair brown. Oh, you know, that's what Mandy Rose did, but she turned heel. All she had to do was just go in there and get the brunette look. And then she, oh, she's a heel now. Yeah. Let's see. So the good butters were banned from the building, so they're not allowed to be there. So their opponents for tonight were Tyreke Igway and Tyson DuPont, who we, we know on this show as team Taitai or also team bouncy beef, because both boys are beefy and they are. And I was excited to see the missile somebody, but instead they got laid out by Gallis after during the commercial break. And Gallis cuts a promo about how they're going to ensure that Joe coffee comes out of battleground with the North American championship. And honestly, it's a triple threat. So let's make all the sense in the world. It's if you got these two guys who are these bruisers and they're not banned from ringside. The first thing I would do if I was Ava would be to ban them from ringside so this couldn't happen. But if they're not banned from ringside, then you've got these two guys who should literally come to the ring wielding sledgehammers. You know what I mean? Like there's nothing that says they can't just hit people with with weapons. Can you can't do triple team moves on people? Because it's just it's all legal. There's no qualification. So we get look at all the coming out and says I would be a fool to not regard you. You gentlemen is a threat. You know what I mean? Which is there's there's three of them and none of them are small guys. No, no. So he's coming out here, but like, but if you think you're leaving with my title, you're crazy. And then Wesley shows up and is like, yeah, that's right. So, you know, all these crazy Scotsman and Obah family who's gigantic and me. Well, this has got to do whatever I do. And he jumps into the ring and immediately gets laid out because he's Wesley in their building sympathy. But like they also triple team Obah and he gets laid out with a clothesline. But I would love for Galis to enter first for this match and they'd be standing there and then Wesley comes in and he's like, oh, crap. And they're all three of them are standing in the ring. And yeah, they're like they've come dressed to fight. They've got their knuckles taped like they're it's obvious. They're all just going to be in the match and fight. Sure. And and then Obah comes in and the two guys jump out of the ring to like take him out on the ramp while Wesley and Joe Coffee go a few rounds. And it's just Obah having to get through Wolfgang and Mark coffee on the outside of the ring before he can even get into the actual match. So you're wrestling Wesley and Joe Coffee against each other one on one. While you have Obah in a handicap match on the outside and he's trying to fight both guys at once and they've got chairs and kendo sticks and whatever. And he eventually throws them like does like a double choke slam off the stage. And there's a stage at the fucking battleground thing, but through tables. So he's finally put them out. But this is like seven minutes into the match and then he's been beat up. But he goes down there and now now it's an even fight. One on three except one on one on one triple threat except he's taken way more punishment than either of the other guys because what they've been doing a lot of is like, Obah is unstoppable. So let's throw as much as we possibly can at him for him to overcome. So that it's not just obvious like he walks into the ring and just choke slams a guy and that's over. Yeah, you know what I mean? So I think there's a really cool opportunity for Joe Gacy to say I could pin Wesley. I'm worried about that guy. But if I send my boys at him immediately, maybe they can neutralize him long enough for me to pin Wesley and then I'm the champion, which makes Joe coffee smart, but they're just two guys, two guys together can't quite take out Obah Femi. And I think that if you lay out the match that way, I think it could be really compelling, they won't. So we'll see what happens on Sunday. Interesting. I, it's, I, this is the first time I really paid attention to Gallis. I thought the, I thought the promo, promo was a little, just a little too long. Just a major. Obviously, they were trying to get to the point where, you know, everyone comes into the ring. They were trying to tell their story. But I think it went a little bit too long. I think if they were getting, they would have gotten cut off earlier, um, it would have been a little bit more impactful that that beat down, even though it was still strong, um, I can't wait to see what they're going to do. Gallis does look like a freaking, like a great goddamn freaking heel group. Like, I mean, they have it, you know what I'm saying? So I'm hoping to see, uh, what comes out of it on Sunday with them. Okay, so, and what a name, Gallis. Yes. I don't, I'm, that's some kind of Scottish Highlands word for something. I don't know what. I don't know. Um, so dragon shoe is a thing we've been wanting for years here. Wendy Chu used to be, uh, Mayim, May, Mayling, Maylin, May, something like that. It's been a long, Mayling. No, Mayling. I think Mayling. Yeah, she was a mailing, a 500 year old dragon lady, um, who sat on a throne and breathed smoke and, and she, it was a thing at the tail end of black and gold. May Ying, thank you. May Ying. She, she sat on a throne and she breathed smoke. And she, she had, um, Boa, who's since been released recently, and, and, and Xylee, who were like these people that like, there was, there was an old guy who like kidnapped Boa and, and, and, um, uh, Xylee and took them, I think, all on a slow boat to mainland China, where like they were systematically beaten down and, um, and, and molded into these killers, right? And then they would wrestle their matches with Maying, sitting on her throat, which are like her hat, her hair, like the girl from the ring was like, oh, stringy interface. At one point, she would get up and just like vape in people's faces. Yes. Yeah. Like, and that was how she would, and she had like, I don't know if she had an actual official match, but anyway, that all went away, like this, just, they just, it just petered out and they didn't do it anymore once. Because it was Hunter and Sean's baby. They loved it. And then when Hunter had the heart attack, they just said, we're not doing this anymore. And then he was repackaged in the, like, no one's ever been repackaged harder than 500 year old dragon lady to girl who likes to sleep a lot. There's like, there's never been at all. Um, that's crazy. She, she fought a jobber and then lost to India on 2.0. Oh, thank God. That's right. Um, so, um, for years, it's now years, I've thought they could really do a cool like three faces of Foley thing with her as being like Karen Q, regular person, Wendy Chu, who's her weird alter ego who likes to sleep and also a 500 year old dragon lady, Mayim Mayim. And there was a cool thing we could do there. And like, and then we're just like, melded it. What if she was both the sleepy girl and also the dragon lady? So we called it dragon shoe and Kate hates it. She hates the idea so much. And so the chat will tease her with calls for dragon shoe every now and then. And tonight, we actually got some weird version of that. I mean, it's not quite dragon shoe, but like the whole thing is like she's been sleeping and she wakes up. She's wearing her little onesie. She puts on her little cow pajamas. She goes to the ring to the bathroom to splash some water on her face. And for a split second, she looks up at the mirror as she got these really dark rings around her eyes and these weird contacts. They're doing something with her. And I mean, like, I don't know what it is yet could be terrible. But I just want to celebrate that we're finally getting some version of the thing I wanted for a long seems like it's probably going to I forgot that she did that whole freaking mesh hat covering face gimmick. God, that feels like it was 30 years ago. So is Wendy Chu now asleep paralysis, Stephen? Oh, kind of scary. And then then also says one, two, Wendy's coming for you. I mean, I don't know, we could see where this goes, but next week, she's going to redebue next week and we're going to see what the hell this is. Wow. Jambeard says, "Arise the dragon, Chu." Interesting what they're doing with this lady. I'm interested to see what it is because I have a lot of faith and belief in Karen Q, who plays Wendy Chu, like, whatever they give her, she's going to do her damnedest to nail it. The material may be so awful. That she's helpless. But she will do as much as possible. She will die on that sword. You know what I mean? With her 500 year old breath. Lexus King, like, talks about Dante Chen and how, yeah, he might have beaten me two times and gotten lucky twice. But what happened after that? What happened? I laid him out on the concrete. And I'm like, no, you didn't. Because last week, you very obviously pulled up the padding and laid it on top of each other and then did your failure to handle on the double padding. On the double padding, yeah. So you referencing that by saying you laid him out on the concrete when everybody who watched the show very much knows you didn't know such thing is very funny. Dante Chen, he says, what happened to him? And then he's gone. I laid him out. He was just never coming back. And immediately, Dante Chen comes back. And they fight and they have a brawl and say, oh, we're going to finish this. We're going to finish this. And so they announced later in the night that we're going next week, it'll be Lexus King versus Dante Chen in a Singapore cane match. Oh boy. Dante Chen is actually from Singapore. So I guess that's why they're calling it that instead of a Kendo stick match. But they called them Singapore canes in ECW in the mid 90s. Yes. Of the pop culture phenomenon of the American kid who spit gum on the sidewalk or whatever and was sentenced to 40 lashes with a quote unquote Singapore cane. So they were colloquially known as that, but people then realized, well, they're used other places and to like tie the entire country to that particular method of corporal punishment when other companies, when other countries use it. And it's been done for centuries and to like basically just, you know, it feels maybe that we should just give it a different name. Cut to 30 years later when they're like, yeah, let's just go back to calling the Singapore cane. It's the guys from Singapore. So how did you not know that? Yeah, it's fine. She get his ass whooped though. No, Lexus King should absolutely get his ass whooped. Yes. I don't think you will because, you know, they're going to they. They push a w guys now to the top adrenaline in my soul, right? Um, uh, okay, so, we get a six women tag match. Yeah, we do. And, and they, they said, you guys are going to fight each other in a six woman tag match later tonight. And we had very clearly drawn the line between the teams. The three baby faces were in the ring. The three, yes, we're outside the ring. And then we assumed, at least I did, we were going to get those two teams fighting each other. Also, in a backstage segment, Mia, Mia, yeah, me chin talks about how she's going to, I'm going to muzzle that girl tonight. It, it, and then they come out and they're on the same team. So they like, there's one team that has two heels in a face and one team that has two faces in a heel. Um, and I guess that means like, hey, everyone for themselves, no alliances in this big ladder match on Sunday, which I guess I understand if you hadn't already cleanly delineated how you were going to do the tag match and then insinuated, we were going to get to see Mia Yim and Jada Parker swear off in the match. Yeah, but the way that this was all put together seems to me from the very beginning that obviously before the end of this match, the teams are going to turn on. Of course, yeah. And so then when it did, it wasn't a surprise and it seems kind of pat and obvious and it's just a thing that they did. All over the place to me, I'm sorry, it really did feel a little bit crazy there in the beginning. I was like, is this a, uh, wait a second, what is happening here? Is everyone facing each other? Like, I've kind of lost count. What was going on in the ring? Yeah. By the way, Sol Ruka, that finishes pretty, I don't know. It's, it's one of those deals where she used to, she used to have to do it out of the corner. Yeah. So you, in order to be beaten by her, you had to be standing a two feet from the corner looking at the corner. Yeah. Otherwise she couldn't do it to you. Yeah. And, and my thing was just don't stand there and you've beaten her. That's it. There's no way, if you, if you sit down in the middle of the ring and you just sit there, you're winning the match. Cause she can't do it a finisher to you unless you are standing. And now she, at least she can do it off the ropes, uh, on one of the edges. But it's just one of those things where, you know, you, I've outsmarted you. It's a big girl. Now you cannot beat me. She's like tall and thick. Like she can get up there, man. It's crazy. Um, uh, so listen, it's a fun little finisher. I don't really, I don't know what doing the, the spin as to it. Yes. Right. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like doing like, basically she's doing like a front flip. And then when she flips over, then she grabs you, but, but the, you're, they're not creating any extra momentum with the flip. You're actually flipping in the wrong way. Like it just, it's right. It's an arcade. It's an RKO with it completely unnecessary extra step. It's fun to watch, but it's like in a practical way. It has no value whatsoever. So all you have to do is just move an inch either direction. Yeah. And the match is over. Yeah. Um, so, uh, ends up being lashed getting pinned by Sol Ruka earlier. Yeah. You said, oh, oh, ain't no way you're going to snatch my soul, girl. I think she did by the end of the night. So I'd like they actually paid that off. My bad. Um, so yeah, this, this was fine. We got basically all this, this broke down into, uh, Jada Parker and, and me, Chen beating the hell out of each other. Just. That's right. I wasn't a little confused at first because I was just like, wait, why are we fighting each other here? What's going on? We're friends right now. Um, and, uh, um, and, and then it was the, all the teams, like they didn't like each other as gang up on each other. Sure. Getting each other in the face who were on their own team, but whatever. The ladder match should be a lot of fun. Um, it's going to be cool. Brian Shikini says, uh, feels like Fallon should win the NA North American title. That's who I hope wins it simply because she's been around the longest. And I feel like there's a, there's a bunch of women who got drafted to the main roster. Um, or at least two for, for sure. Kiana James and Blair Davenport. Who would have absolutely been North American champion had there been such a thing a year ago. Um, and there's a bunch of women on the main roster who would have been this if the thing had been there five years ago. So like the idea that like Jada Parker, who's been there for comparatively five minutes is going to be the first North American champion feels odd. I don't know, but it's the, the, the back and forth. Um, between her and, and Mia Yim makes me think they might have, cause really Mia Yim is doing nothing on SmackDown. Correct. A surprise Mia Yim is the first one and then has a feud with Jada Parker over it. And then loses to Jada Parker by heatwave in July. And then Jada Parker has a long run with it. It feels like a way of being like, of acknowledging because Mia Yim was great in NXT, but was never at the point where you thought she was going to be women's champion. She had a lot of title matches, but you never thought she was going to win them. And I think they're acknowledging, if they did it this way, they would be acknowledging if we had this belt, when Mia Yim was here, she absolutely would have gotten the title reign on the mid card. And so giving her this now, and then allowing her to work a program with and then put over Jada Parker, who is the future, that might be the way I would like for them to do. But Jada Parker looks another, she has that jade type of style wrestling man, strong big. So Chugini says that maybe if Fallon didn't win it, she would have a small program with Julia after Julia wins it. Julia wins the major title from Roxanne. Oh, got you. Okay. And if she didn't, if you won it, she wouldn't do that anyway. So Patrick Moore says, "Soul Ruka has snatched my soul. Something about her makes me want to keep watching." Am I alone in this? Alex, do you still have a soul? I don't know which one of us is asking. I haven't had a soul for a long time. Yeah, I lost my soul about 23 years ago. Yeah. Lieutenant Colonel Foto says, "I have an issue with her using Shang-sung lines. Like I'll, I will swallow and go soul," or whatever he says, you know. I get like, you want to do like, "Hey, her name is Soul Ruka, so soul thing." But snatching a soul feels like something a heel would do to me. Eddie Thorpe does another video about the Sacred Fire or whatever. And the first one I thought was better than this one for the, for one's very specific reason. Because he's cutting this promo about the Sacred Fire that he wants to like, just like the people, the Native Americans wrestlers of old, I want to open doors for the future and to shine a light on my people for representation's sake. And one of the people he names is Chief Jay Strongbo. Yeah. Who very famously was not at all Native American. And he's, that dude is more Italian than Tony D'Angelo. Yeah. Like, there were, there was a huge thing about like, I guess they thought Italians had a similar shade of skin because most of the guys you see playing Native Americans in the old cowboy movies are all Italian guys. The very, the guy, the old actor who cried, the Native American who cried in a commercial about dope litter was Iron Eyes Cody, Italian, full-blooded Italian. So, it's weird that, because you name Chief Wahoo McDaniel. One, 100%. That dude was absolutely fully, you know, the briskos I know have some in them. But it's, it's came out like a long time ago that they admitted that Chief Jay Strongbo was not at all. Yeah. So it's weird to be like, for real Native Americans, like Chief Jay Strongbo. I know like when they name drop those like, wait, they really just, yeah, it's key fame. It is, it is, it is. So Ethan Page has his big segment where he's sitting out there with Ava. Oh, also Ava on the way to the ring. Stevie Turner comes in and it's like, it really wasn't fair of you to put me in the ring with Jordan Grace. And I like that they're doing something with her where she's like, conveniently forgetting that she demanded this match last week. So that's the kind of heel she's going to be. Fine. So, we got her out there basically saying, I can't possibly give you sign this thing. Oh, you're going to do it. He, listen, Ethan Page is so great on the mic. The way he just kept like all these guys doing their normal NXT stuff. And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. I'm the one in the ring who's about to sign a lucrative contract with NXT. And I got the microphone. So you shut the hell up. Yeah. Like he would just, he would just pivot to like shutting them down. And he's a really great talker. He's really, really good at this. And it does feel like, especially with Dragonov gone up and Mellow gone up and Braun gone up, the trick is incredibly over. And with good reason. He's a fun character. He's athletic as hell. But we forget that he's been doing this for like two years. And like he was a, I don't know, a wide receiver, I think, before this. Like he wasn't, this was not a thing that he planned out to do until he was in his mid-20s. Yeah. On Ethan Page, this is what he does. You know what I mean? So you get them together and you go like, okay, well, this one's the athlete. Who's a good talker? And that guy is a professional wrestler. You know what I mean? And it feels to me like I'm watching like NXT with him there, all of a sudden, the playing field is completely unleveled. Yes. Because this is my thing. I thought Ethan Page deserved a lengthy TNT title run in AEW. Like he was, every time I saw him, I thought he was really good in the ring. And amazing as a character and on the mic. And I just like, I just thought to myself, watching this going like, you know what? Just have Ethan Page win on Sunday and call Trick Up. He's made, he's made for the main roster. Sure. You can do something with him. Like, but like Ethan, like having, anyway. So the whole thing is Trick comes out and says, you sign this guy because I want to beat him up. And he says, I can't sign it because one of the things in the clause in the thing is that if I sign him, he has a match, a title match versus you one on one on Sunday for the, we can't do this. And he's like, no, no, I want it. Let's do it. Let's have your match. And it is unprecedented for a guy to come in and sign and get a title match right off the bat. But I don't know if you want to like cut his legs out from under him by having him lose that match. That's why I thought it was going to be a triple threat with no MDAR being pissed. Like he was going to have a match versus Trick, but then he got attacked. And he thought it was Trick, but it was actually Ethan Page. I got cleared. You put me in this match too. It's a triple threat. And then no MDAR takes the pin from whomever wins, probably Trick. So you can play out this feud with him and Ethan for a while longer. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. I'm happy to see Ethan get, you know, when he signed with, with, with AEW, I honestly wasn't very smart enough to who he was, you know. For whatever reason, whatever happened where he wasn't like on screen as much or doing, you know, on and off cold and hot. Like it was just whatever there. But you know, without that experience, he wouldn't be here and hopefully gets called up into the main roster. But I think he's going to do great at NXT. I think is his wheelhouse. It's a fresh new beginning for him. So he's full of piss and vinegar right now and then go off. Let him go off. Yeah. So apparently after the show, Oromenza ran in and attacked Ethan Page from behind. Oh boy. Yeah. I think that might be what they do. With the finish of the Battleground matches, they have Noam Dar and, and Oromenza cost Ethan Page the match because he's the one who laid them out. And then when they kind of like cement the Noam Dar's face turn, and that way they don't have to break up these last legends turning face. And like they all like come after the that guy. And then, and then he can be pissed about that. Half matches with Oromenza beat him, have a match. Maybe a couple of matches with Noam Dar beat him and then win something to get another title shot at a trick. Maybe that's what they do. Yeah. It just feels like something they would do. But listen, a shocked title change trick just became champion. Ethan Page just showed up. Like you want to do a thing where like everything's a surprise now. Like Jordan Grace showing up from from TNA is a huge surprise, but she's who was the Royal Rumble before that same episode. Ethan Page runs in and attacks Trick Williams. That's a huge surprise. Keep going with it. Ethan Page beats Trick Williams. Yeah. Then if you wanted to, you could do and they haven't done this forever. It was actually pretty cool when they did it back in the day with like Finn Balor, no Shinsuke Nakamura I think and and Jamil Samoa Joe, where they traded the belt a couple of times. Yes. Like I wouldn't mind that. That would be kind of cool. We haven't seen that in a long time in NXT. But like these two guys being like pretty evenly matched. And like you could have Trick with it back from him. And then and then finally when Ethan Page beats him the second time. That's when Trick goes up. There could be something that could be really fun. You know what I mean? Yeah, I agree with you, man. With their change and and Ethan Page made a comment about it. That they are changing channels soon, you know, like he. This is this is for a lot of you guys who don't know. Stores are putting up fall and Halloween stuff. This is the time television shows are starting to get ready for fall sweeps. And him just mentioning that as someone who works in the industry, I understood what he was doing there. They're setting something big so that when they switch over to the CW here in a couple of weeks months or whatever it is, you guys are going to see maybe the Ethan Page era. You know what I'm saying? Right. Yeah. I'm here for it, man. I wouldn't mind. Like you said, you traded off a couple of times. You you set up a great feud, you know. Part three, part four, part five. I haven't seen that in years. I would love to see and why not an NXT where you can get away with it. Sure. Yeah, it's a different thing than on the main roster. The main roster, everybody's got to hold a title for a year. For yes, right. You know what I mean? We'll also have to see what kind of chemistry they have. Yeah. Because they've obviously never wrestled a match against each other. So like sometimes it is ain't there, but I feel like they'll figure it out. Luis saying that you could see he could see Ethan losing Sunday, but then winning at Heatwave because it'll be in Canada near enough to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, that it'll be a home thing for him. So we'll see. Yeah. Very good. Yeah, everyone. Hey, so Jambeard has a telenovela pitch for you. Let's do it. You were talking about this. Okay. Nurse lady who healed a coma guy back to health is now with child. Twins, but coma guy isn't the only father. His evil twin who put him in the coma is the other father. She's got twins from two different guys. That's insane, but doable, but doable. Yeah, certainly. It's a good plot. All right, puns. And then, and then, and then a couple of, and then a couple of jukeboxes and we're out. Kylie says, whoa, double Alex. Heart eye emoji. Hope y'all are doing well. We are doing, we were doing very well, Kylie. Thank you. All right, here we go. Cookie puns. Insert clever Tegan Knox puns says, Tegan white chocolate macadamia knocks cookies. I do love a white chocolate macadamia. Same, dude. Not all the time, but like, as a change of pace. Like, if you go to an event and they have a cookie platter sitting out, like the chocolate chip, you know what the chocolate chip is, but like, you gotta try the white chocolate macadamia nut just to see. Oh, that's so good. Christmas time. Ricardo says, Greg, the Hammer Valentine's Day cookie. Ian Ian Ian R says, ivy nylo wafers. Well, a little hard on the tongue, but it looks better.

Eric Biscoff. Meat Norma says, samosa joe. Oh, penta el sero macaroon. Toll house of black. Oh, my God. And for you, spooky Scottish chip witches. Oh, that works so well. Yeah. The Senator Colonel Foto says, cosmic Foley brownies. Oh, my God. It's good. Ricardo says, they're good, man. Yeah, they're really good. We have some really good punters here at the SGS. Meat Norma says, sup botanas, cookie monster among men, and short bready G. Oh, that's good. Shorty bread G? I'm not really sure which is better. Shorty bread G? I'm not sure. So Ricardo says, rocky azucar cookie Romero. Oh, my God. That is so good. Yes. insert clever Tegan Knox pun says, butter Tegan. Butter Tegan. Butter Tegan Tegan Tegan. Butter Tegan Tegan Tegan. Butter Tegan. Butter Tegan Knox. Ricardo says, pepperidge farm nivin. Oh, my God. Pepperidge Holland farm remembers. Oh, my God. Pepperidge Holland. Lieutenant Colonel Foto Matthew and Snicker Doodles Jackson. That's a big one. That's a big one. Lieutenant Colonel Foto says, ships up, rits out, and watch for the patayoshu. Oh, that's good. Yeah, that's amazing. Ian R says, famous Omos. Yeah, but famous Omos. Meet Norma says, it's a fig Newton day. Yes, it is. Seth, Seth freaking raisins. Seth, no meal raisin. And action Biscotti. Not action, Andre. Oh, I like that. Biscotti's taking a couple wins today. Yeah, Ian R says, the goat of wrestling moves. Shortbread number two. Ricardo says, world's strongest Snickerdoodle. Okay, I'm like that. Jambeard says, Samoa Joe, Samoa Joe, girl, guide cookies. Oh, that was hard. Oh, like Samoa's. I get it. Yeah, girl. Yeah, Samoa's. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. Oh, are they called Girl Guides in Canada? Because they're Girl Scout cookies, here. Let's see him says, ginger, snap, mayor. Oh, that's good. And superstar Billy Graham crackers. And then Ian R says, it's salty. And then Ian's. All right, we got some. Okay, we got some four jukeboxes. No more. We're going to get out of here on time. So, here we go. Tom of Valley wants Braun to sing Cryin' by Errol Smith, because he says, sob on it. There we go. There was a time when I was so broken hearted. Long wasn't much of a friend of mine. Pables is turn. Yes, because me and I and one way is important. That kind of love was a killing kind. So listen, all I want is some wood I can't resist. I know all I need to know about the way that I got here is. I was crying when I met you. Now I'm trying to forget you. Love is sweet, misery. I was crying just to get you. Now I'm dying because I let you do what you do down on me. Yeah, get these lyrics. Okay, so I get it. So they're not girl guides. It's a reference to what he did on Edge and Christian show, where he dressed as a girl guide and was running a racket. All right, thank you. Thank you very much. So Tyrone Kidd wants Dragonov to read Go the F to sleep. I'm not familiar with this one, but as a daughter, maybe I should be. Man who has a daughter, maybe I should be. I believe that Jesse Ozog says maybe. Jesse Ozog says Otis meal cookie. Oh, yes, yes, there we go. The cats nestle close to their kittens. The lambs have laid down with sheep. You are cozy and warm in your bed, my dear. Please go the fuck to sleep. The windows are down dark in the town child. The whales huddle down in the deep. I'll read you there one very last book. If you swear, you will go the fuck to sleep. There's a lot more stances here. I'm not going to read all of it, but thank you. Ricardo wants in honor of Ethan, who's all ego. He wants LeBron to do Carly Simons, you're so vain. Oh, LeBron. Not LeBron, Braun Strowman. LeBron, not LeBron. No, different guy. You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht. Your hat strategically dipped below one eye. Your scarf, it was apricot. You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself give out. And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner. They'd be your partner and you're so vain. You probably think this song is about you. You're so vain. I'll bet you think this song is about you. Don't you, don't you. Thank you. Oh, to this from mayhem says new member of the bloodlines. Hold on. Chips and OIE. OIE, but an OIE. I like that. Okay. And then finally, the ghost of dusty roads, to sing hand pocket by best friends forever. As requested by Mr. Bandana Head. And then we'll get out of here. Okay. Hello there. Oh, I'm sorry. It's you. I'm not used to talking to a gentleman. Usually there's a lady here blind with bangs. But I would just sing my song and get on. So here we go. Put my hand in your back pocket. And if it were your own back pocket. Sing with me, breathe. Let it out. Cause singing makes me want to do it. Thank you. Skate with me to the place where I once met with mortal danger. The ice was thin and I fell through it. And when I got out, I was panicked. And when I panicked, I can't skate. Oh, no, no, daddy. When I got out, the bruises on my knees were enormous. And that's hard times when your bruises on your knees were enormous. Once my dad took me, I fitching. I was cold and bored and find myself wishing I was doing anything else. But I fissioned. So I wandered away with my head and out of space. I fell into a hole. My dad had drilled into the lake. When he pulled me out, my dad's friends could not stop laughing. I almost died. It was so embarrassing. But I'm alive. So you can fall in love with me. If you will. If you will. Anyway, I got to go back to the great beyond. So I'm going to leave. But I guess there's somebody else here. No one has a song for me to sing tonight. Right. Well, I mean, it's the first night of Pride. So Ricky Rainbow has to make an appearance. But there's nothing for me to sing. Oh, here we are. Hot sunfire from Tom Lippa. That's it. And there's no more. And then I will leave. Someone needs to find me these lyrics. No, I don't stop. Stop, stop sending these in. I don't want any more. Right. Okay. Thank you. No more. Because we're going to get out of the south. Find me these. I don't know. Hold on. I'll look up on the hot sunfire. And then you look up the other one, the waste. Because I have lyrics. Hold on lyrics. Here we are. Okay. See, here we are. Southern darkness creeps into your soul, envy moves the light of self-control, the cage that holds you captive has the door, burning with determination to even up the school. Hot sunfire, strong desire, rages deep within. Hot sunfire, fever's rising high, the moment of truth draws near. Thank you. Ricky Rainbow sings thank you. A.M.E.T. Swiss. Is there a song called? Thank you. By A.M.E.T. Swiss. I'm not familiar with the game of one A.M.E.T. Swiss. Is that a song? Thank you, A.M.E. by T. Swiss. I don't know this song. So let me look it up. Thank you, A.M.E.T. Swiss lyrics. Oh, by Tyler Swift. T. Swiss is, I don't know what that is. I'm not. When I picture my hometown, there's a bronze spray-town statue of you and a plaque underneath it that threatens to push me down the stairs in our school. And it was always the same searing pain, but I dreamed it one day, I could say, all that time you were throwing punches. I was building something, and I can't forgive the way you make me feel. Scream, fuck you, A.M.E.T. in the night sky, as the blood was gushing, but I can't forget the way you make me feel. And it wasn't a fair fight or a clean kill each time that A.M.E. stomped across my grave. A day she wrote headlines in the local paper laughing at each baby, step by take, and it was always the same searing pain, but I prayed that one day I could say, "Oh, it's just, it's a chorus again. Thank you, A.M.E." Keep cool, Gaba Goose. See you for Battlegrounds on Sunday. Okay, we'll be back. Bye.
