But holy cow, did we ever have an NXT Scoops thread for tonight? A lot of crossover that happened. Not so much a lot of in-ring development for tonight's show, but a lot of nice surprises, which is part of why Sean is here. So if you have questions for Sean, kind of in general, or about tonight's show, please get in those Super Chats and Hopper Chats. But before we get to your Super Chats and Hopper Chats, while you're typing those in and sending us your generous donations, we are going to start off with kind of the big piece of news that end of the night and work our way back into some other stuff and talk about Joe Hendry. His name was said, he appeared. Now, in Storyline, this doesn't make a ton of sense, but it's obviously a huge deal for the crossover of it. All Joe Hendry's first appearance was incredibly successful from the standpoint of social media and viewership and things like that. Alex and I are going to rant about the kayfabe stuff that makes no sense, but Sean's here to talk about the great development that this is and a little bit about that scoop and how it came together. So Sean, let's talk to Joe Hendry. Just my post has 630 retweets since 25 minutes ago. So obviously, people love him and Fightful Select had reported today that he was not just set for the show, but set for the main event. He was at rehearsals today. I don't know if he did the rehearsal element of the main event as they were trying to keep that a little bit quiet. Thanks to our buddy Corey, they tightened up that ship quite a bit over the last few months. But Joe Hendry was there and you could kind of tell that something like this was in route. Corey Brennan did have that report on Fightful Select on Sunday night saying that they were going to use him imminently and heavily. And then last night on WWE Raw when they ran the NXT commercial, Hendry popped up as well. I think that using him in a tag team matches is a pretty good idea as well, I mean, the crowd loved him. Fightful is going to speak with him at 1230 Eastern on Wednesday. I might just run that interview live. I haven't spoken to him for an interview since his Ring of Honor days. So lots to talk about there. But Joe Hendry made a really good impression with WWE the last time around. I know they were really happy with the money they made off of it because they did really well on social media. I don't know how much TNA got off of that, but I guess you know what? I'll see. I'll find out how he benefits outside of exposure tomorrow. Sure, there's going to be a lot more coming about Joe Hendry. Of course, his image, his like goofy newscast or meme image also showing up at the end of NXT, he way very briefly as well. So plenty more crossover it sounds like and plenty more crossover to get into on tonight's show. Get in those super chats and humber chats if you have any questions about anything. But specifically tonight, the Rascals also reuniting kind of bewildering us to the timing a little bit because there was a perfect angle for them to come in earlier and Galis filling that void a couple weeks ago. But very cool to see the Rascals here. Wesley, one of the most underrated promos, I think that that we've got going under the WWE umbrella. Always very heartfelt, always a very natural talker, as not always the case in NXT land, but loved what we got initially tonight. And then we also get the Rascals showing up here. Anything on that, Sean? Yeah, so we had reported that this was a real possibility on Fightful Select. I want to say last month. Another thing I had mentioned a year and a half ago on a Fightful podcast was that WWE's stance had really softened on Zack Wentz. There were some obvious reasons why he was gone. It didn't keep him out of TNA. And this was a time heals the wounds thing. It was something, it was more the picture that it emerged and the other allegations. And he apologized profusely for that and some people vouched for him. And he obviously saw that that was not a smart thing to do. And not something you're ever going to see him do again, I'm sure. But their stance had softened on him like a year and a half ago. Obviously not to the point where he got rehired or anything. But I mean, he's got a lot of people that still like him there. And a month ago, I had heard, well, there's a real possibility that they're going to come in. A big question was, would it be as MSK or the Rascals? And the answer was both, both, which both. But it was an interesting element of this was when new cash Republic was scheduled to team with Wesley, they put that out there because they didn't want people to be disappointed that it was new cash Republic. They're like, Oh, well, you know, nobody's talking about these two really great wrestlers that we have teaming with Wesley. Maybe we should just bring in the real team. And they did. And I mean, you even see the AEW World Champion showing them love on Twitter, quote tweeted the Fightful post of them hugging. So I mean, those guys have a lot of friends across companies. They have made a really great impression. And I would see Myron Reed. Myron Reed pop up in there as well. I'm surprised he hasn't been signed to be honest with you. He's he's probably working the undercard of my show next week. But yeah, do you think your match with Epi is going to last longer than three minutes, like tonight's matches? I hope not because let me tell you, my knee is feeling really dodgy right now. I haught that stairmaster today. And I was like, I canceled an MRI three weeks ago, because I was like, you know, or or no, I scheduled one a few weeks ago and canceled it recently. I was like, I feel great. What are you talking about? It's wobbly again. Sounds like you're making excuses already, bubmy cut. I don't need it. I don't need an excuse. He wrestles full time and excuse. Sean, you're your records. Your records. Not great. A reason. I'm sorry to bring it up, but muted. Anyway, Damon Kemp is the next thing you were going to prompt me about. He has left WWE. I don't have you muted anymore. So you're miming that doesn't necessarily work. I was still doing the bed. They didn't know I was unmuted. Anyway, Jamie, Damian Damon Kemp wasn't released, as some had said. Well, I mean, it was, that's effectively what it is. His contract wasn't renewed, was the official terminology I was given. Now, the way that he put it out there was a little bit confusing. Now, usually I don't get that confirmation until their deal is actually up, but he said that he's no longer with WWE, but then he posted an August date. And also, it would be shocking to me if they just let him know right now his deal was not being renewed. Bye, see ya. I'm sure he's got a little bit of time. I know in AEW, like, for example, whenever they don't pick up an option, they've got to let you know 30 days ahead of time as a part of their contract, which I think is a smart idea. But I mean, it didn't happen with Dijax. So who knows? But I would like to think WWE kind of learn from that. But yeah, Damon Kemp will be moving on. He's going to continue wrestling from what I understand. He of course, the brother of Gable Stevenson really took to it much better than Gable Stevenson did in a lot of ways. But he was, he did some really, really good work. We saw a lot of growth from him. So I'm sure he will be successful wherever he shows up next whether he does an indie run, whether he gets signed somewhere else. There's some fun possibilities in New Japan if you're a New Japan nerd like me. So absolutely wishing him the best in the future. He did some good stuff there. We got a super chat that came in about you versus Effie. Why saying I believe in SRS versus Effie. I was just trying to seem like a big man on the internet in front of my friends. That's it. I didn't think I was actually going to get booked in the match. I didn't think they would even know I had a Kentucky wrestling license. But hey, at least donate to the dementia society. That would mean a lot to me if you guys did that. I hate to admit it, but you're a draw. We got more chats about this. Sito Gatto saying sorry, Sean, but I believe in Effie. I believe you're a dumbass. How about that one? Safe bet. Tim McFowl saying great reporting today. Right. Schools reunion made me legit emotional. I know Alex doesn't, but I believe with Joe Hendry. Overall, I enjoyed the show, especially for NXT. Also, Effie is going to beat Sean's ass. Well, that was all very flattering to you up until that last sentence. So we can we can take that as a mixed response, but very happy for the rascals reunion. It does seem like maybe Zach Wentz is not the first guy in his early 20s to have done something that was kind of immature and inappropriate. So glad to see he's back there. But Effie couldn't beat JE double F J A double R E double T. So he's not going to beat R O double S S A double P either. Double S, but then R and the it's fine. Fun fact. I went to that show and it was one of the 700 times I got COVID, but I believe in drop to holds second edition of Colonel photo. Thank you so much for your chat. Well, some other rumors news, some other speculations is, of course, the motor city machine guns, Ryan Suchini saying on it MCM G versus DIY versus Fraxiom, Sean's got nothing on that for you. We have not reported a thing other than yeah, we've heard the rumors and yeah, there's been some interest, but I have heard nothing on that. Some other notes that we did have on Fightful Selecto, they were going to try out a ref cam soon or they were considering it. And I hear they tried that out on level up. So we'll see how that goes like on a GoPro helmet. I think so. Yeah. I think so. Okay, that'll be great. It sounds like a level up thing. Awesome or terrible. It might be so terrible. It circles around back is awesome. But Tom LaValle asking if you're looking to join Thrusty if it gets me out of this match. Yeah. Sure. A couple other notes. W to be very happy with Heatway, both with the buzz and the performance. I mean, some really great matches there. They were, of course, really happy about that. Mary Gold told Corey that Julia wasn't cleared as of this weekend. So her getting cleared would have happened earlier today. And you know, I don't usually watch this show live guys, not this one. Obviously not this one. Yeah, you've never watched the show. NXT. I don't usually watch live. A couple of notes. Solruka and OTM spent more time waiting in the ring for their opponents than they did in the ring wrestling. It's great. This is booked for the TikTok generation. I'll tell you that much. I will say that is also a pattern of after a pay-per-view. Like they, the match times are always shorter for beat up talent, but OTM wasn't on the pay-per-view. So there's really no excuse there. I know one thing. We confirmed that Gallows is making a lot of money because he took a vertical suplex tonight. I watched Gallows take a suplex. That man is on a million-dollar contract at least. You got to assume. We got to know that. But also I wanted to just say thank you for everybody for tuning in to our NXT Heatwave, a post show that cracked over 7,000 views on just the YouTube alone. So thank you for sticking with us. We even had some converts for the really weird parts of our show that we do. So we always appreciate that. But Sean, I think that's all the stuff that you have to deal with except for maybe this chat here with Nicholas asking, "Chances at NXT and TNA do a world's collage show in the future, and do you think NXT will ever make a TNA star any type of NXT champion?" I think that meaning well, the collaboration's happening and still under contract. Like Mike Jordan Grace become the champion before she's officially signed if it feels like she's headed that way, et cetera. I'm assuming. Yes. I think that we will see a TNA talent when an NXT title of some capacity. You think they've already did, so of the worth. I mean, if I were them, I would do was the Kia Center in Orlando or something. Like I would do an arena for NXT versus TNA. I think they could do 15,000 people for an NXT versus TNA show. They can certainly do a lot more than 350. Yes. So what they do for a weekly show, so. The novel, I mean, the novelty of it, I think goes a very, very long way. I mean, listen, you can feel how you want to feel about the Hardy Boys at this stage, but listen, they put some asses in seats for stuff like that. Moose badly wants to work this. I would beg Gayo Kim to come out of retirement, beg Gayo Kim to come out of retirement for that. And listen, if you say, you want to represent TNA and really carry our flag for us, I think that would be a really cool thing to do. I mean, you've got an awful lot of people, Josh Alexander. I think Jake something would translate really well to a TNA crowd. Oh, goodness. Yes, please. You give me Jake something versus Oba Femi, and you do it immediately. Just. Meat. That, that sound. Meat. That sound. Chris Bay and Ace Austin. Hell yeah. In there. The rascals teaming up against, I think a good mixture of NXT and TNA talent there too. I feel like, you know, the rascals, and then you put Steve Macklin with a couple of NXT talent, because who has more familiarity with the NXT or performance center than Steve Macklin man was there for like six or seven years. Yeah, I think there's a lot of PCO would fit in really, really good on that as well. Leave. No, no. Let the man never come back again. Yeah, I would, you know, I would like for him to win the NXT North American title on that show. It would be amazing. It would be amazing. He can use the gear that he had made for that. Now I just want it for the gear payoff, but last one for you Sean. Trey Sherman saying with WWE wrestlers heading to Japan this week, do you think all of damage control or damage control as we call it around these parts? Thanks for some sense. So if you're at Marigold Summer Destiny with EO, I think yes. Yeah, I think so too. I think so too. And Nicholas is asking me when NXT paid Jordan six figures in NXT. Do you think it played a part to get Grace's contract shortened in TNA? I heard that she may have gotten it shortened around the time of the rumble, which that was also the time when Scott DeMoor was hitting the bricks. I haven't necessarily found out what went into like amending that deal. On a fightful select show a few weeks ago, I had said, yeah, her deal's a lot shorter than anticipated. I just kind of forgot to put the story out there that it was January, but I did find out it was amended from the summer. So that's interesting. And we're going to have, we had more contract news today. Shane Hast resigned with New Japan Pro Wrestling. That's a good one. I mean, listen, they took their tag titles off of a guy who wasn't signed and put it on a guy who was expiring. So it's a good thing they got him done. Two tag titles. In fact, both brands tag titles, but as a TMDK stand account, that makes me very, very happy. So good for Shane Hast. Good year for free agents and wrestling. More contract news around the corner. A busy wrestling summer. Sean and our other scoopsters will be on the beat. I'm sure anything else. That's it. Thank you guys for allowing me to join. Of course, join FightfulSelect.com. Best $5 in the business. Listen, I've got a pretty monstrous giveaway going on thanks to me not wanting to accept any money from Elon Musk. I always reinvest it in the giveaways. And I'm giving away a replica WWE title of your choice. And that's what I'm going to do every month. Any amount that I make off of Twitter will go right back into giveaways for our followers. So go give that a retweet and follow us. We're doing one on the Fightful account as well. But thank you guys so much. Thank you, Sean, for stopping by giving us scoops, skis, giving you reasons to subscribe to Fightful normal people about wrestling, you can go in there. There's also an Ask SRS channel, which is invaluable in my opinion. But we also have our own SGS Discord that we started. Yeah, if you want to hang in there with abnormal people who are way cooler than the normies, you know what I mean? Weird, weird, fun, not weird. Yeah, no, no, abnormal in a good way. Like us. Yes, like us. We have cultivated the perfect type of abnormal. We're just cute little weird. This is what we are. Alex, this was a bad episode of NXT. There's no way around it. There was a lot of stuff that wasn't good on the show. Even Joe Hendry coming back in, which I'm excited for. In K-Fame, Trick Williams was like, you know who I want? The guy who got thrown out of a battle royal first, then if anyone. We're not even finding him. I mean, he summoned him, but he didn't even say his name, did he? Thank you. Say his name when he appeared. Nobody friggin said his name. Nobody could have figured out a way to have somebody say, Joe, hand, hey, Rhee, like, and then just put it together. And like, like, I don't know something, but they didn't do it. Alex, do not all try. All cheap geniuses, okay? I'm gonna lose my mind. I don't know what to understand where he came from. Trick Williams seemed surprised to see him. Why don't know what's going on? There's got to be a way to do this better. Alex has got to be a way to do this better. They have told us this is their reinforced security team and Joe Hendry is just appearing head of nowhere, like an RKO. But we're going to get into all of that. And now this is the part where you host the show and I don't have to drive the engine anymore. I just sit back and give my thoughts. So you do it. Happy Taco Tuesday, SGS. First, let's wish actor Jimmy Smith a happy 69th birthday. I love Jimmy Smith's because I'm a West Wing stand. And I feel like the later seasons get all over this, like, it wasn't as good as the early ones. And it wasn't as good as the early ones, but he was very good at his role for the later seasons. It's very funny because, like, in the latter seasons, you know, they're having a whole election thing to replace, you know, President Bartlett and the Democrat was Matt Santos flipping Jimmy Smith's and then Arnold Viddick played by Alan Alda, was the Republican. Yes. According to today's politics, Arnold Viddick is Bernie Sanders. Like, that's how everything is shifted dramatically. It just crazy to me. I watched an episode from that season. I was like, I would vote for that dude right now. That I know. I think they did a good job of that. I think it was very intentionally done. Anyway, shout out to SRS, Best Buy Dollars in the Biz, stretch before and during cutting yourself on the back, meet forever. We'll pass that along to him. Tim McFowell says, "Tonight's show made me finally buy tickets to Slam Reversary, so a world's collide with easily salad and arena. I bet Sean could get Gail out of retirement to see with Mia Yim to face him." Do them one handicap match, I'm in. So, Heatwave was a hate wave for me, but there's always the possibility they could salvage it. There's always the possibility that on two days after the show, they could come out and do a really great show with a lot of storylines that make sense and really pick up after all the with a new champ and stuff going on. There's always the possibility of that. Of course, they didn't do that, so... The hate wave continues. If it wasn't real hate wave, you would basically be so rude about the way that you can ride a hate wave. Yes, I was born. It's legendary, it's a hate wave. Beach puns. Waves. Perfect. Beach puns. Beach puns in the chat. Beach puns. Here we go. Fantastic. Even Paige, all you go, opens the show and honestly, I feel like there was a possibility for him to come out here and be like, yeah, it was funny because I won the title all unconscious. He did make one joke. He did. He said, "Thanks for not... Thanks for I almost fell into it." He could have made a bigger deal of it. I bet that pissed you off even so much more. Listen, I would have won anyway, let's be honest. It was only a matter of time. And if they had done the thing that I wanted, which was to book him strong and the first one on one match, then I would actually believe that he might have won it by himself. But this will be something that we get from now. Ethan Paige is going to have a very good run as champion just because he's Ethan Paige and will kind of promo to make things work. But he comes out with a whole bunch of security to specifically to make sure Oromensa can't get to him. Eventually, he's the champion now. So eventually, he's going to have the match versus Oromensa. No Amdar is a long ways away from coming back. So he's going to have a match versus Oromensa. And when he does, he'll beat Oromensa and then the storyline will go away, at least until no Amdar comes back. They're not trying to put off the Oromensa match until the week before No Amdar is cleared, are they? Because it feels like at any point, if they just had a match between Oromensa and Ethan Paige, this whole thing would be neat and tidy and put away after Ethan Paige pins Oromensa. And now that he's the champion, like, just get that. That should be a thing we do next week. We know Amdar is a far way off. Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah, he said we really, well, I mean, maybe they're lying, but he said he really messed up his leg. It's like, I'm assuming it's some kind of tendon or a break or something. So maybe maybe they're maybe they're artificially extending it with what he said on the weird phone call with them the FaceTime. But he did say his like Ethan Paige really messed up me leg or what ever he said in weird accent. That's just I just love him so much. But yeah, I mean, I think they need to do the match. I like that Ethan Paige is kind of like, if I have security, I'm just going to treat this guy like a pesky little net a little bit. But yeah, have the match because security is not very good at keeping the sky off his back at all. Yeah. When no M comes back, if Ethan Paige is still the champion, I don't know how long, honestly, do Amdar is going to be out. But they have not been having long title reigns in NXT. So it's possible he comes back and costs Ethan Paige the title. And then Ethan Paige has the match with him when he's not the champion. We'll see. Trick Williams comes out and says, I'm not making any excuses. You beat me, but I want my rematch. And Ethan Paige is like, yeah, but you're not the guy right now. I'm the guy. The title says so, it's on my shoulder. You like it? It used to belong to you. And I say, no, you don't get, you don't get a rematch. And then Sean Spears came out and he points out the thing. If my view hadn't been obstructed by all of the nothing in front of me, and I would never have pulled Trick Williams's leg and brought him and dragged him out of the ring so he couldn't break up the pinfall. But all of that nothing got in my view. His view wasn't, he wasn't obstructed, unless he was closing his own eyes. Anyway, that is an obstruction. I like that they acknowledged that Sean Spears had to do a really dumb thing to cost himself a shot at the title in the match. But also, what obstructed view? There wasn't a obstructed view. If the ref had just been standing in front of him for that spot, ACES, like that's perfect. That's totally fine. But the ref was not so much doing that, Alex. No, no, no. So Sean is, but he's basically on Ethan's side. Like, Trick, this has got to suck. You got, you lost your title, that ain't getting pinned. I warned you of the dangers of a fatal four-way match. I being the wizened old veteran. Looks like you should know that about fatal four-ways, just like as a pro wrestler, or someone that's ever watched. I'm pretty sure Trick Williams has been in several fatal four-ways. Yeah, he knew, but he wasn't a friggin Iron Survivor match. Like, he understands about everybody else getting pinned falls when he's not around. And matches with extremely complicated rules if he was in a minor Survivor match. But then Jevon Evans comes out and says, "Hey, Trick, this doesn't apply to you. Everybody else needs to shut up." And then they fight. And then there's, "Oh, look, the baby face is stand tall and the heels are on the ramp. I guess we're going to have a big tag team main event," says Vic Joseph. And I was like, "Didn't you guys just do this with these exec four guys?" But they didn't. I went back and looked. It was just such an obvious trope of like two heels, two faces. The faces are already friends. The heels will coexist just long enough to make sure the baby faces don't have momentum going into the big match. And instead, they had Sean Spears pin Trick Williams. Like, like, not like in a singles match. So, like, they- It was just a contract signing where they were in a Flying V. They're looking at a Chinese, Chinese menu. And they go a column A, column B. Can I get a pizza? Because it was like so far off the menu. And you know what I mean? Like, I don't- So this is the Wendy's? Yeah. Okay, fine. But the brawl leads to an obvious. We're going to get that as a tag team main event, you know. And I'm like, I feel like every time there's a fatal four away, either there's- it's a big tag team main event going into the match.

And so that's, we're doing it. Great. I mean, we don't actually end up doing it. We do something else instead, because reasons. But my favorite part of this was like just, I liked Ethan Page's promo. And I always like when someone goes denied what she did to Truth Williams. But what I appreciated was everybody who was in the match, even though some of it was right on child's fears, I see you, like they all, I like that the next thing about the title comes from the match. Like that everybody felt like they had their case to make two challenge for the title, because sometimes it was like, yeah, Javon Evans does say, like, I had both of you pinned and you saved your asses, which is true. Like Trick was able to make the save when Javon was about to become champion, but not when either Page was pinning Javon Evans. There's something central. You know what I mean? So let's see. And he's over like Rover Man, what a superstar in the making. It's really cool to see how much people, it doesn't feel like that thing that happens with the NXT crowds, where sometimes they're just in business for themselves. And they're like, we ironically love Von Wagner, even though he's bad at all this, they're just like, no, that guy rules and we are here for it. I love that for someone so young and so skilled at this. Yeah, they do they run the same little Instagram things of Maxis King challenging Tony D and Tony D saying, I will beat you and then eat more basil. And they so they run that back again. I love the idea of Tony D having an herb garden. It's just amazing. It's so good. Amazing. Anyway, so kind of Patrick Richard and Ariana Venti, as I call her, had to have a big tag team blow off after their one and only time as a tag team because Canada, because Toronto. Toronto. Or as Ariana Venti, who's from Toronto says Toronto. So like listen, we're all over the map with it. We're all. Carmen wins in about, I'm going to conservatively say 75 seconds. Like, I mean, I don't like it seems like they were building this into something and it's really nothing. It was she she won with with Sheila's finishing move and NXT with the spinning cyclone kick to the back. And got one with that. That was cool. But I mean, okay, I don't listen, I get it because Toronto, because Canada, but like you put them in a tag team so they could have this thing and then immediately broke them up so they could have a 75 second match against each other, which more fuels the whole people that they beat in the tag match, thinking that they should have they should do they should be getting a bigger spotlight, even though they lost the tag match, because after the match with JC Jane and Jasmine Nyx with more consonants that should be allowed by law at ringside. Tiff. I see doing it. Fallon Henley comes out. Tiffany Fallon. I'm going to keep doing it. Fallon Henley comes out and attacks Carmen Fetchafitch afterwards, and then she says to JC Jane, I'm tired of these rookies. And Jasmine Nyx is like, don't let them see that you know you're a rookie. Like it's so weird. Like, I hate rookies. Don't you hate rookies? Oh, yeah, I hate rookies. And Jasmine's like, yeah, we totally hate rookies. That rookie suck, right girls? You know, like it's so awkward. It's so awkward. She's like, I'm right here. I don't know how far away Cora Jade is from being ready. And I feel like she's probably going right into something with Roxanne if she is, but like Cora Jade coming out to take out Jasmine Nyx to be like, you are a rookie. Get the hell out of here with the rest of the bad girls. It's something that would be a cool programming move. Alex yesterday on select, which you can subscribe to for just $5. That's five bucks in the midst. Yeah, I said something to the effect of sometimes WWE sometimes wrestling in general, but we were talking about WWE. Doesn't know the difference between long term storytelling and dragged out storytelling. It also does not know the difference between completely heatless and a short view. Because I get, look, I get Canada. Not everything can be gymnastics, but also, you know, Canada. Ariana Grace is so character driven that like there could have been something really fun and silly here if you would even just given it three minutes, but they gave it such a short amount of time. And then of course, there was no heat on it because right Alex, they won the match. Like if you're splitting up a tag team, it was like, we were successful. We must immediately break up is just that's that was Ariana's view. And Carmen's like, okay, fine. Like what she basically says, I can't possibly be dragged down by somebody like you. I must, you know, like, you know, I can't I can't allow that to myself. And Carmen's like, what I'm better than you. And it was like, let's find out. And that's it. Like it was the whole thing. And then Carmen had proved that she was better than Ariana because she beat her in again, less than a minute and a half. She is cool. Like the more that she, I don't think she's like, I don't mean this in a bad way. Because I think Solruca is improving at an alarmingly fast rate. She's not like going at the pace that maybe she is, but there there's something really cool about Carmen Petrovich. And the more that they dig into it, the more I think I'm really gonna love her style. She's she's really cool. She's doing some some different stuff than anybody else in NXT is right now. And I'm intrigued to see where she goes. Every so often, one of these, and it's more like more often the gals than the guys. One of these gals who comes in and doesn't know anything about wrestling, they're like, they're basically like a baby deer just trying to figure out where their legs go. And all of a sudden something clicks and like, oh, oh, now I get it. And all of a sudden, like four weeks later, they're really good. And that feels like something is waiting to click for real in Carmen Petrovich. And in a year from now, we might be looking at her going like, remember when she was like, like Naddy's friend. And that was it. You know, and it's like, why is whatever? But like, I mean, this is honestly, she's got a sword. So bad double jam tree beard says the fact that we never had a Carmen versus Iowa-e underground sword fight match is such a missed opportunity. It really is. And on top of that, like Ariana Grace feels like she probably drinks tea. And if she would probably go to somebody's tea ceremony and drink tea. So that tag team could have done a lot of work with Eileen, but it only lasted five minutes since Eileen's no longer part of the company. So yeah, shameful. So I just wanted to do this one now and get it out of the way because Titherk Mayhem sent in a humper chat about a pun from a past week that got missed. Because he sent it during the day, because the night before I called for puns for journalism, because USA say Virginia, you're a question. And then he sent it during the day, and nobody went in to check that far back. So here it is now. Journalism puns got missed last week. I think I said I'm too early. Gorilla press conference slam, Jacob fact fact to check. P P P A A K puff piece Avalon. So pretty. Meteora meteorologist. Also some some heat ones from Sunday. The ring general swelter. Swelter. Orchios guy. And she skys really good heat index. Okay. Okay. Jay was so doing a weather spot. Checking the index. I mean, I'm mad about Jim Treiber telling me that Alex, if you think Jasmine Nix is a name that doesn't make sense. So Ruka's real name is Kaylex. Like our name. Kaylex? It's C A L Y X. That's a real name. C A L Y X. I'm just trying to like figure out where that comes from, but most importantly, it comes from here because we're Kaylex. I'm pretty sure parents are Oregon hippies. So like it just comes from being stoned. I mean, that's very possible, but like I like the synergy is all I'm saying. Like I'm saying is that my like my brother and I went to school with the like people who grew up to be Oregon hippies who would probably be the age that so Ruka's parents are. And they absolutely would have named their kid Kaylex with a Ryan there and an X. You know what I mean? Well, in the spirit of Oregon hippies, I think it's apparently Kaylex is part of a flower. Isn't that beautiful? That is beautiful. But like it is Kaylex Harmony Hampton. It would seem as though your theory is correct. But in the spirit of Oregon hippies, like I feel like the universe arranged for Kaylex to be reviewing Kaylex. Yeah, it's true. It is true. We'll talk more about her in a little bit. So, okay, so their big idea with the amazing viral stuff that they've been allowing Ben Buchanan to do with these crazy social media videos in his car being arrested while storming the battlements of the of the performance center, like all this stuff. Have you get in slash Brooks Jensen just for anybody who's not like Brooks Jensen, Ben Buchanan, yes. I said that. You said Pat Buchanan, but it's fine. He's definitely not. He's storming some battlements, but not these. So, so. He's the beach is the problem. Like he'll always be the beach, but he wasn't he wasn't gonna be. He is now after this. I'm sorry, Ben Benjamin. I'm sorry. You're back to being the beach. So, are we? It's fine. He was doing really, really good work with these unscripted little vignettes he was shooting in his in his car. Like really cool stuff. Honestly, felt like I was like, Oh, well, where's this guy been? This is this is incredibly compelling. Oh, give me more of this guy. And then they they had a little sit down multi multi camera vignette with him and and Ava that was recorded earlier today. Where he's like, yeah, well, I know I screwed up and I really want to apologize. Like, well, Sean Michaels did recommend that we release you, but we've decided to give you a second chance. Oh, thank God. And all of your unscripted promos, you were saying mean things about them and that you can't wait to leave and go away. I would wear was that where was that guy in this. He was so docile and also so obviously scripted. It was so obvious they handed a script with with Ava's lines and Brooks Jensen's lines to them both and they rehearsed it for 20 minutes. And then they went out there and made sure they did all their lines, right? Like it lost all say I was waiting for them to like allow this guy to like do something like to come in and be like, listen, thanks for the time, but I just want to let you know. I don't apologize for anything. I wanted him to like give something, but like I just really want my job back, please. Like it just did what they did with a man. I wanted it to be something so much more now. Apparently it might be turning into something, but like there was so much potential for like that TNA crossover was right there for him to show up in the episode of TNA and attack somebody and then to get on the phone the next TNA and they say we fired his ass. He's your problem. There was such an awesome thing to like bend the rules of storytelling within KFA, but they did nothing. Benjamin Buchanan, one might say. Benjamin Buchanan, fine. I think what they were going for or what I was hoping to see more of was him strategically being like, oh, thank God, I have my job back with like, you know the the gift of the Grinch where he smiles like on the nightly? We see him later beat the crap out of Javon Evans, but like he should have been like, oh, I have my job back and then got on a rampage. Maybe they didn't want to do that because of what the Wyatt Six just did. Like it might have been too much of an overlap, but if he had cleverly been like, oh, thank God, I got my job back as a way to be insidious and get back in there and be unhinged like it was premeditated. Like he was, he was sucking up in order to then wreak havoc backstage in the same episode. I would have been all for it, but it was like, just Javon Evans, if you're going to do that, you have to go on a tear of like five different dudes, everyone shot. So that's kind of where it missed for me. Like, I felt like he should have, um, shouldn't have targeted one dude. He should have been like, I just take to stand. Like he should have been one of those tears, not comedically, but like a way more of a, uh, of, uh, I don't care who I'm targeting, I'm just here to people up, that kind of thing. I think it would have played really well, but it didn't. They just did this instead. So Matt Logan saying, uh, of, of my thought that they might do something good. Alex, I am enjoying a vapor pan with some HTSC. What are you using? I am using my misplaced faith in humanity is what I am using because I believe that somewhere in there, somebody's got two brain cells to rub together. I don't understand why you, you would do all of the other stuff, all of the, all of the obvious plant social media stuff with him hinting about TNA and stuff. And I, I think, I think that the plan was at one point that they might do that and they were like, this might get him fired to go over there now. Man, then it becomes, this becomes tawdry. That's a whole corporatized like storyline thing. It would be so much better if we, the only thing we see was him trying to get in, bidding arrested, doing another promo in his car. And then two weeks later, he shows up at TNA. Like it would have been really cool. It would have gone viral. People would have been like, what the hell's going on? But they were like, Oh, now Brooks, I'm sorry. You've gone too far. You're fired. And don't ever come back here again or go to any other wrestling programs with any other companies we may also be working with right now. Don't you dare do that. Don't you start young man, you have 90 days that you cannot go to TNA. What have you had to wait three months? In case you have to abide by the non-compete. There it goes. That'd be good. I will say like the the part that was most a bummer to me outside of like it could have gone summer cold. It doesn't feel like it is. It's those all the things he was doing did feel really organic and this did feel rehearsed. And then that's oftentimes a disconnect for me where it feels like the artist is doing art and then it gets sterilized by, I'll say any wrestling promotion. Like the stuff that I tend to like is the stuff that feels more organic and this did not feel organic. Yeah, he says, this is my life and I swear I will make an impact. He says and she says, glad to hear it. But apparently he thinks that's a different thing because then he goes off and attacks Jevon Evans. And when he is finally pulled off of beating up Jevon Evans backstage by his old tag partner, Double Vest, by Josh Briggs. He's like, what the hell, man? I've vouched for you. What are you doing? I'm just trying to make a big impact. But beating up Jevon Evans, what are you doing? You know, and well, I kind of like him targeting Jevon because he's so young and so beloved and so over right now. But like, but he didn't explain that. Well, he's a loose kid. But like, but he could have attacked anybody. And I mean, like he did it. Listen, this dumb thing is that he only did this. So Jevon Evans couldn't be in the main event and you are who could be. You know what I mean? Like, that's the whole thing is that this gave us a, Oh my God, wherever we'll trick Williams, find another tag team partner. There are no one else backstage who would ever want to work with trick Williams, the most over guy on the roster. Like it's, I'm sorry, like it's just, it becomes this dumb gimmick to work through the whole night that only has an opening because apparently everyone else backstage says, I don't want to, I don't want to tag with you trick Williams, the most over guy on the roster. And then he has to find a guy who doesn't even work there to tag with him. I one love your borderline South Park newscaster voice so much as the day raider. I do like my, I don't believe he was targeting Jevon Evans. I, I think it was the first guy he saw to feed the shit out of that. That is kind of how I impossible it was, but he was the one to make an impact by targeting a top guy there and beating him up. And that's how he thinks he makes an impact and quote unquote impact. But they're not called that anymore. So doesn't make any sense. They are technically TNA impact. Are they really? Yeah, they, they go by TNA, but I think because they establish two different brands, immerse them into one, it's, it's TNA impact. It's, it's not total nonstop action wrestling. It's total nonstop action impact wrestling because that's dumb. Yes, on both counts. Okay, cool. But he, but Briggs has really pissed at him. And then they have to go and clear everything up with, with Ava says, what are you doing attacking Jevon Evans? No, he's not only he can't be in the main event. And now he's got to find another guy. And, and Briggs is, is literally right there. He says, I want Sean Spears. Well, you can have him. If you tag team with Trick Williams tonight, it's right there. There's no reason for them not to do it. He wants to get his hands on Sean Spears and Trick Williams needs a tag partner. It's a perfect thing. It certainly makes a hell of a lot more sense than Trick Williams somehow finding the phone number of a man he's never worked with before. Who? And I can't stress this enough. In NXT history. Yeah. Was. If I am like, I need somebody that be my tag partner against the top talent in the company. I'm not like, you know who I want? The guy who doesn't work here who got thrown out of a battle royal first. That just makes no sense. Even if he was in the company, that would have made sense. He's like, you know what? That guy has some sweet distracts for white people. I want him to be my huge tag partner. NXT does this and it's maddening of like, they just did it with Ethan Page. Like the ego's edge isn't protected a month ago or whatever. So now the thing that they did most recently in retrospect, that looks even worse. It's like the same thing with this Joe Hendry thing now is like, you wanted him to be a tag partner against the top talent in the company. Well, maybe a few weeks ago, you shouldn't have had him get ejected from a battle royal first. Like it just feels like the planning never lines up with what they're currently doing. And they go out of their way to make it look stupid. And it's like, you could just not do that. Right. So, Ava just says, you can have Sean Spears next week, but you've got to stay out of the main event tonight. And I just don't understand why she didn't say you can have Sean Spears tonight if you tag team with trick waves. Just right there, they didn't do it and didn't make any sense. He could have offered and she could have said that's up to trick. And then he could have said, I would like to tag with you trick and said, you know what? Normally I would, but I just found somebody. I mean, I don't know, but I guess they can't do that because then it makes trick, know who he's tagging with, whatever. Mad Apple Jam Tribute has a really good idea for what they should have done. They should have had Brooks, Kit Knapp, Regal, and forced Sean and Ava to give him his job back to release William Regal as a hostage. I mean, if you're going to do the loose, because that was some loose Kennedy stuff. Like, that was full-on, basically grabbing Vic Joseph by the lapels at ringside. Like, you know, like, I really sort of my actions. And I just want to, I just would really like my job back. It's just, it doesn't, it doesn't squire, ma'am. Yeah, the loose cannon also, what I said before about it being cerebral is not a loose cannon way either. Like, yeah. But Alex, you know what? Yeah. They were hoping Sean Spears was going to come out, come up short against them in this tag match. And if your Sean Spear needs a little extra, needs a little help.

I'm sure some of them says they even had Mr. Stone, a.k.a. Rob E. mentioned. Why not Briggs? Uh, good. Yeah, that's true. See, he's the smart assistant. No offense, Stevie Turner, but he's winning. So we got our Heritage Cup match. You know what? I'm going to say it. Tony D is now just by default, one of the top 20 wrestlers in the world, because look at the match he got at Alexis King. I mean, every time somebody's like, Oh, I mean, like that was a pretty good match, but they were in there with Will Osprey, or they were in there with AJ Styles. It's kind of a cheat code. At this point, that's Tony D because this is by far the best I've ever seen. Alexis King look. I mean, Tony D'Angelo is tell such a great story. He's so good at this. He really is. The reversal of the whatever the coronation is into like the. So good. The spine buster was amazing. But here's the deal. I'm watching this going like, okay, this is like, it's so hard. Tony is one of my faves. Okay, so I can barely compartmentalize and watch him and be like, okay, so I love this guy so much. I'm just going to watch what he's doing and try and focus on that and put everything else out and blinders on to all the other extraneous bullshit, but like that stuff is still going on. So after I'm done watching how great Tony D is, all that stuff trickles back in and I go, why the hell was Eddie Thorpe DJing during the match? What the hell was that all about? How does that make any sense? Like Tony D is like noted EDM fan son of a mafia boss. Like, why is it there of Frank Sinatra impersonator up in the Raven's Nest? I don't know. Whatever this is. It's just a further the storyline between Eddie Thorpe and and Alexis King, but there couldn't have been ways that made sense that you did that. I don't know. That was weird. Here's the thing. You're 100% right. It kind of slapped. I'm watching this with some sick beats under it. And I'm like, he wasn't doing it during the match. He was during it in between the matches during the 60 seconds they have. Yeah, I was low here. You have to wait for the beat to drop. You know what I mean? Like, isn't that how it works in the EDM? You got to wait for the beat to drop? I think so. Maybe that's what Alexis King's distraction was because I was like, he's not really distracting him because it's between round. Just like, turn that stuff off. Turn off the bleeps and bloops. You damn kids in your bleeps and bloops. Turn that music down the road call to police, I will. Lexus King went from like, incredibly cool produced vignettes when he got here. Felt like he was doing this thing where he didn't want to turn into his dad. Then he was just kind of a creep who hit on girls for a while. And now he's only in yell set cloud. Old hair metal guy. Yells a cloud. Oh, weird. Pardon. Put on some rat. Dammit. Round and round. Early guns and roses was good. No, it was. You know what? I kind of get it though because if you saw my pretentious rant on Saturday and you've seen my previous pretentious rants about pop punk, you know that I had my book. No, no, no, I wasn't going to do that. But well, now it's a segue for a prop. So I feel like I should go on another rant about how rock and roll is not inherently American. It was stolen from the British who innovated things and it's actually rooted in slave songs. So it's satirical about how like Americans always steal things from the Brits and slaves. When we say like American rock and roll or whatever, like that it's an American heritage. So there's an extended version on Saturday's show. But what I was actually going to say learned your music history, but if you've seen me go on those rants, especially the pop punk one, you know that I'm like in a mode where I'd want to fight someone. So I kind of get it. I kind of get it relatable. Bad Apple Jam tree beard says, Alexis is just a wish version of golf now with the 80s music gimmick. Kind of. Kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like this one, Alpha Bill. What did I walk into? What I love is Alpha Bill is in Australia. And so he watches us while he's at work. And I love that he just walks away from this playing and then comes back. And then I'm looking at a biography of Theodore Roosevelt. Opines about the insidious nature of colonists in music. Record scratch. Yeah, you're probably wondering how I got into the situation is where Alpha Bill is at. I didn't know that. So to Tony DeAngelo look incredible and fantastic. He's great. He's really, really great. And and and got Alexis to like really hit him. You know what I mean? So much, I feel like is is, you know, he's playing the gimmick and not actually trying to win matches. And I feel like Tony was like, you hit me as hard as you can piece of shit. But this is not going to work. You know what I mean? And and he got him. It got him to work. I will say no more. We cannot do the hidden balls. That is the dumbest friggin move. And I don't care how much Booker tree pops for it. Booker tree. Booker T. That's the book. That's Booker T in the learning tree put together. It's the worst thing in history. That's horrible for you. That's awful. That is the horrible thing. But Booker T champagne wishes a caviar trees. There you go. That is, I don't know. When does he call that a drive? He runs up behind a guy's head and puts his balls really hard in the back. What's next at Moss Adams?

We go above, so you can go beyond. Be okay financial is a trademark of the okay FNA member FDIC, equal housing lender. I feel like your balls won't know what it is. But anyway, it's true. I'll say this too. What you were saying that it felt like Tony D was kind of like hit me as hard as you can. This is what's so tricky about pro wrestling sometimes. And it's really tricky about NXT. There are so many times where I watch NXT and Lexus King is a great example where I'm like, that person's not doing anything wrong. They're not doing anything wrong. But they're definitely also not doing things right from the perspective of what's making this a compelling match to watch. All the moves are great. Everybody's being safe, but there's no story. There's no grit. There's no physicality. So when it feels like, whether this was the case or not, when it feels like Tony D'Angelo was like, you just got to try and beat the hell out of me. And he like dives into that such a more compelling match because Alex, as you know, I'm a fan of the fighter mops. I'll see you guys. Yeah. Tango. Yeah. Yes. I don't want to get away from this too fast because somebody in the chat said one thing and other person said another. So I was putting together and saying champagne branches and caviar leaves. And so now because we haven't gotten a beach pun in a while, it's now tree puns. It's now tree puns because we were swimming it up mid-screen. We haven't gotten the beach pun in a while. I've been looking for him. So we're going to get we're tree puns. This is this is how we got duck puns. When we first started doing this way back with duck Hudson, it's true. I accidentally said duck Hudson and not Duke Hudson. And then we got 150 duck puns. So I need tree puns. We're switching it up people. I said Booker tree instead of Booker T. We are calling. This is a sign. Calling puns in the ring. Hell yeah. The goat. The duck really. HBK listens to Sean to sourgaps confirmed. Yes. This was he listens to us about very specific weird things. This happens from time to time. This was one of them. It brought me great joy. Randomly. I said, you know what I would like to see and we'll get to them through. We'll get to them. We'll get to them. We're trying to get more. Randomly. I said, you know what I would like to see from duck Hudson from Duke Hudson? This is duck Hudson. Actually, this is duck Hudson. Actually, it's a duck Hudson. You know what I'd like to see from Duke Hudson is him get a random shot against Obafemi. So I think he surprised a lot of people. I think a match would be really good and it would be kind of a window into what Duke Hudson can really do. And then arbitrarily two days later, at some point somebody pitched an idea that they heard on our podcast to Sean Michaels and he said, this is a good idea. And he said, he said, let's have Ridge Holland somehow get a match for Duke Hudson with Obafemi. Sorry. I was trying to star another one. So we, Thea Hale's like, we're going to get back on track. I know it. I know it. I know we're going to get back on track. And once I beat Ivy Nile, we're going to get back on Ivy Drowel. What's your name? Is he game? What's I beat? Is he game? We're going to get back on track. And Ridge Holland comes up and says, you guys did great. You stole the show. You stole the whole weekend. And Adrij, like, thank you, Ridge. It's a great time for you. But, you know, it's nice time. No, but I got, I got you a match. I got you Thea Hale. I got you your match tonight with Izzy Dame. You bet you're wondering how you got that. Well, I did it for you. I went to Ava and I said, could Thea Hale have a match that I'm requesting? And she said, that's not all weird that you're requesting a match for somebody else. But okay. And then, then I said, I got you a match due constant. For next week, I says, thank you. Got me a match against Ethan Page. No, I got your match against Oba Femi. And I was like, we are influencers. We are confirmed influencers in Xt. I'll say this about it. Well, a few things. The first is, we have been do cuts and fans on this show for a very long time. I think this weekend opened some people's eyes to what he's capable of. And I hope he has the window to break out in the way that we know he can in the way that he deserves. So for starters, I want the credit. And two, listen, listen, HBK. You don't have to pay us for our ideas directly. But you should be sending in puns. Okay, that's the exchange. You don't have to, we don't have to be on payroll as creative, even though everyone says we're on payroll for companies all the time. But like, you know, throw us a, a mean Jean Okerland tree, like somebody else just sent. And we're good. Like you should be participating in puns if you're going to borrow our ideas. That's all I ask. Right. That's all I ask. Look at archives with this one. This might be a Sean, Shawn Michaels burner. Yeah. Eugene Oak, Curland is amazing stuff. So here we go. I love that Riley's like, Oh, Duke's gonna get his ass added to him. That was the funniest thing Riley's ever done. So that was, that was very funny. And later we got Thea Hale in her match versus, I'll just talk about that now versus Izzy Dame. Izzy Dame was doing pretty well until until a little tater paxley showed up. And Izzy decided to run out there and clobber her a bunch. And then she got back into the into the ring and Thea Hale hit the code breaker to the arm and then put her in the Camora and tapped out Izzy Dame, who's effectively three times her size. So Thea Hale, I guess on the shortlist for for the match that Roxanne will win right before Julia debuts. I feel like that's like that's a thing like Roxanne will win and be like, I've beaten everybody. There's nobody in the back who could even possibly there's no one in this building who could ever even give me a challenge, Julia. You know what I mean? I feel like that's it. And I honestly don't hate that. Like that's a good place for Thea Hale to lose because it continues the, I don't you hate it, but it's it makes sense to continue the chase use story. And it'll be hopefully a good defense for Roxanne. And it'll let her say that. And that's fine. Yeah. Not mad about that. And then after she wins, although all all of chase use in the ring and then over is up in the ravers. This is like, Duke Hudson, you must have a friend who likes you very, because he got that deep match. He got the title match for you next week. He's just the best. He's the best. I hope that it's not I know it'll be squash ask. But I think people don't realize how big Duke Hudson is size wise. Yeah. I hope they like let things happen in that. Yeah. They'll they'll be they'll be eye to eye, which is really cool. But man, they're they're really underselling how big Obafimius. I don't know why. Like he's he's a legit six six, which means you should book him at six foot nine. What are you doing? You bill it like everybody does this. Like big Cass isn't seven feet tall, but they said he was he was he was six nine, six nine and three quarters. And they said he's seven feet tall. That's what wrestling is, man. Why use he's a legit six six. Don't just call him six foot nine. Also over three hundred, he should be billed at six foot nine three seventy. Nobody would argue with it. You know what I mean? Like like make inflate inflate, inflate, Obafemi. You are pro inflating wrestler height and wait, I'm for it. I love it for you. Oh, but he's the coolest person in the world. This is again. This is exactly why I think they should not say that Tiffany Stratton is from prior Lake Minnesota because the character she plays isn't the same way that Obafemi might be six foot six and three hundred and seven pounds. But the character he plays is six foot nine and three hundred and seventy. Okay, it's very obvious. Probably doesn't help that Duke Hudson's Twitter handle is like six foot five with a bunch of eyes. Kind of hurts when they're going to be standing. But I'm excited and I hope that I hope they give it at least six minutes. You know what I mean? Like I hope it. Oh, no, they really they should they should give us some serious time. Yeah, I would tell the Ridge Holland failed interference because that's how this ends. Bad Apple Jam Treebeard says Duke versus Oba will be great. But I think they should have had Oba versus Chase first and he just utterly squashes Chase. That might have been fun. It still might be common too. But I mean, that's the wrong that's the wrong order. Like I know, but it doesn't mean it's it would be it you have to do Ridge gets Andre Chase the match Andre Chase gets murdered and Duke Hudson takes it upon himself to get revenge for Andre Chase. Like that means make means Duke Hudson's the hero because there's no like Duke Hudson loses kind of really compelling match and competitive match because the interference from Ridge Holland goes awry and Andre Chase is like, I know what I shall do in my sweater on a dress shirt under it. I will get revenge. I'll eventually work. You know, I mean he is he does have a little a little bit of a donkey hote to him. You know what I mean? So I bet I bet. So I could see them doing it. That doesn't mean the way you booked it isn't better, which is the common theme here on sauerkraps. It is the way. Um, bad Apple Jam Treebeard says also with the longest time I didn't see what you guys saw in Duke. But that tag match made me turn a corner. A lot of people. He looked fantastic in it. A lot of people. He did have a little promo back to Oba saying, you know, Trish Stratus took notice of me. As he should. As he should. I feel like a lot of why people haven't seen it is because they haven't had the opportunity to see it. I don't know if I would have seen it to the extent that I feel like I did had we not gotten bad. It got weird. But the Cameron Grimes do cuts in feud while they ended up becoming about poker. Like there was some really good stuff on that. Like they gave him a you're a poker player and you have a weird, uh, a lad invest on. But he did he like had this like luck is for losers. See a call back and his promos were so natural and he's great in the ring. So like when he has the opportunity to actually showcase what he can do, I think he turns a lot of heads. He doesn't have that opportunity a lot because one, he doesn't wrestle a lot to what he does. There's usually interference or gimmicky stuff happening against the glory boys. This was the most we got to see him kind of wrestle on bridles at a really, really long time. And I think he turned a lot of heads. And that makes me really happy as someone who is a stand for the dude. So good us to them because that match was was really, really good. Like that match was was really, really excellent. Um, will Chisholm has a great idea. I need Oba to go to AW and squash the learning tree and then go back to NXT. I'm so surprised you find that to be a great idea. Alex, I'm stunned that your favorite wrestler of all time in the whole wide world. Obafebi squashing your like least favorite gimmick in the world. Pops you to no end. I'm stunned. Happy. Galis defeat team tie tie team bouncy beef. They're so good. They're so much fun to watch. The beef gets a chance to bounce. It's fun, but Galis is just, you know, way more experienced and they have a third guy and an outer ring side who gets involved. And so it's that mean Galis wins via chicanery. So it protects the team bouncy beef. I feel like they've, they've got a serious run in them as a tag team in a year when they figured this all this stuff out. They are, they are an example of the, the male side of the, I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but I'm really athletic. All of a sudden like, Oh, you mean if I put my foot here then and the other foot here then? Oh, okay. And they're just like, like it's just a crazy thing with professional wrestling where you see people just, just immediately improve crazy because they just figured out how to put their body where it's supposed to be to get the timing right? It becomes innate through repetition. And all of a sudden it's that's it. Like, so many people like, for example, these, these people who were great college basketball players or whatever, like think back to when they were little kids and learning to dribble a basketball for the first time, they sucked at it. But eventually like, Oh, no, this makes a lot of sense now. I know what I'm doing. I got my shot formed down. I'm good. Like they go to college, they play basketball. The same thing happens with wrestling because they don't know what the hell they're doing. And all of a sudden like, Oh, oh, now I get it. And all of a sudden everything falls into place. And that is going to be a team bouncy beef. I would also say too, like wrestling is an incredibly unnatural thing to do and a lot of facets of it. So those reps are really important. And that is obviously a piece of what NXT is just giving you the really room to do that. And when you don't have to actively think about stuff anymore, when all that clicks in, you become a better storyteller because there's room for you to be focusing on that instead of, okay, I do this with my arm and I do this with my hand. And then like, you suddenly now have, once that's on autopilot, you become a better and restore teller. And as Tucker Sickos, he has Jay Stan. My favorite thing about Zach is how cerebral he is and is always like nine steps ahead of his opponent. And some of that is just legitimately being very, very good at this in real life. So that's one of my favorite things to get to watch in NXT is when we see people start to connect those dots, it's really rewarding to this. And I say team bouncy beef, get rid of your third guy, get Brooke's Jensen here so you can be bouncy beef in the beach, bouncy beach. Nice. It's not bad. That's not checkers. All right. I'm going to read all of our beach puns in quick succession and we'll get back to the show and then we'll read tree puns at the end. Here we go. It's like we're going to read the puns.

Chris, remember jacket time? That was a crazy time. Sometimes on episodes like this where I'm like, this show has never been so bad. I need to remember that like jacket time was a thing. Chris Pereira says hell in a shell. Bad Apple Jam Tree Bird says ECW original sand castle. Now I'm picturing a sand castle with two arms. One arm holds a beer can. They don't want to hold it. It's just getting itself. It's tower with a sand kit with a tent with those and it's slowly disintegrating. That's great. You got to have it. Meet Norma says Bermuda death triangle. Hang 10 Adam Page. That's really good. I love that one. He in R says SPF E. That's good. That's good. Louis Villas is Scuba Femi. That's really good. He in R says Dolphin Baylor Baylor Baylor Baylor.

Braun would say get these sands but he also needs to tell me that he wants me to read something as Braun. So that needs to be in the jukebox. Bad apple jam tree beard says Lewis Black. Okay. That's another thing. These are all not puns. These are all things for what we call the jukebox. The jukebox. We have Drew moderating say everybody in the chat give claps for Drew because Luis got barreled. B-R-Y-L-D-L-E-D. Um hang 10 Adam Page. Got that one. I read that one. I read that one. Uh techno trunk. Oh wait it was just this trees again. Okay there we go. This is it. I've gone all of them now. All right. These are. There we go. Put these up here so I can look at those. These are these are easy to find so that shouldn't be that hard. All right good. Now we got tree buns to do later but for right now we're going to talk about how Trick Williams is interviewed backstage and says uh um you know what if I have to take on these guys two on one that's what I'm going to do. Should we first read this chat that was about Oba? I already did. Oh well I'm sorry I should un-sorry. We talked about that. We talked about how we should squash Chase first and you said no we should do it second. I said no we should do it first. I'm sorry it was in the starred thing and I'm just flexing and takes me a long time to read a comprehend. The boy is a super chat reader. Why am I even looking at this? I just sit here and look pretty and get my thoughts. That's what I do tonight. Trick Williams also is slow to comprehend things because he's like I think I'll take on these guys two on one. Wait that would be a bad idea. I should find a tag partner and then he leaves and then look on the on the on the thing behind him for a brief tiny little second that I missed but then saw in a in a still shot on Twitter. Joe Henry. Yes. Why would like there's a lot of people who are doing other things while watching your show and if it's just an incidental backstage interview where a guy somehow takes way too long to realize doing a two on one handicap match is not a good idea maybe I should look for a tag team partner then there's no reason for you to actually watch the segment. So putting the little thing up there with nobody actually you know saying his name was is weird to me say don't say his name and it gets weird. There you go. How do we summon Joe Henry. So as soon as trick Williams leaves to go walk away we see Wesley walking kind of for lonely through the halls not knowing what he's going to do with the rest of his career or even if he has a rest of the career boy he's kind of lost in in need of a purpose. Wouldn't it be awesome if trick Williams bumped into Wesley and said hey man what are you doing nothing. You got your gear. I think I got an extra pair of tights in the locker. I need a tag team partner tonight. You got it. You good. I said yeah let's do it. That would be amazing trick Williams and Wesley honestly like like if Loki actually stay in TNA and they're not coming over here and we're not this is like a one for like maybe a little brief run thing but on the main roster Wesley and trick Williams as a tag team would be awesome. Yes it really would be hugely over. You could break him up later or whatever because they're trying to be like hey we got we brought you up. We got no plans for you but you'll win a few matches here and there like honestly I don't I don't even know what they like where they're doing with some of these guys but that they don't know what they're doing with some of these guys which is the problem would be really cool. That would be really fun and it's a good way to keep him away from the title for a little bit and like go after some stuff because it sounds like Sean has I can't. Sean has not reported anything about the Motor City machine guns. Okay but this tag team is not or this tag division isn't great so like that would be a nice shot in the arm to it. You don't have to wait until the dusty cup to start putting people together then to either break them up in 10 minutes or whatever. Like there's a lot of possibilities for that I think and it would give trick more time to kind of bake. I think that would be good for him because I don't think his his title run was great again no fault of his own bad booking bad stories. So like him being able to reclaim some some of the riz as the kids say I feel like this this was a he has so much of it that even him on like a low riz run is so more riz than a lot of people will ever have but like him being able to skyrocket back up through riz town into the riz sphere. I think it'd be good and I feel like him and Wesley are so perfectly offset together because there's like this softness to Wesley that I find very vulnerable and easy to gravitate to and trick has so much star power that like those two and tandem would be really really fun. I would also be interested to see it in a feud but today they were like you know what we're going to do nothing with that. Yeah we're not going to even come across each other at any point even though it's kind of obvious that one guy needs a guy and another guy needs a purpose. Yeah that's so anyway like it like Wesley walking down to the ring sad walks out kind of looks round like maybe it's the last time I'm ever going to see all these people slowly walks up into the ring and it's about to deliver a Mark Henry retirement speech and he's just not wearing a jacket of any kind it's more of a shirt and um powder blue salmon no anyway um I wish somebody had been like hey Wes you don't have to retire trick Williams is looking for a partner like for right now for a tag team match but if you are you here's a pastel green jacket um he says it might be time for him to step away after he lost his number of American title match to open for me third retirement and like two months bad yep and uh and then the rascals show up and it's awesome and everybody is super happy and uh they're like you're the greatest wooden america champion of all time I guess it's time for us to to uh to you know to start running things around here or whatever um I was like is there a trio's division I don't know about uh and then later they came across the only the only actual trio team that they could actually do anything against which is fine because it's good that they have Joe gallis and and Wesley have recent history against each other um but um who who are you who are you boys you know who do do I do it later okay I stepped out to get some more wax for me mustache and I missed that whole thing you did in the ring who are you well uh if you're talking about just me and Zach where MSK and if it's all three of us if you're unlucky enough to run across all three of us at the same time we're the rascals I like that they actually established both things um but I did want Mark coffee but what the hell does MSK stand for and it didn't say that it'd be nice to never find that out um uh but yeah I I yeah that'll be a really good match uh next week yes rascals versus uh gallis will be really good give it time give it a clean finish awesome stuff so the rascals apparently are feuding with no quarter catch crew in tna um we're now murderers we're now murderers so I was like this is a little too Tony D but we'll talk about that second what we do yeah they honestly I I really wish they had done more of a reference to that like either go one way or the other yeah we see what I tell you we don't we don't need Tony D for this kind of work like I I've watched enough movies over the past month I know what I'm doing there's something you know something something cheeky like you either got a wink and undot it or you need to not be murdering people in the parking lot yeah oh TM uh come out and um um bronco nima is wearing a uh a face protector he's not wearing notably two face protectors at the same time because that would be dumb sideburn JC jane um but side bar sick bird JC jane yeah yeah back to the main story yeah there's a side it's a side why wear a seat belt the math speaks for itself you have a one in 40 chance of being in a crash this year but wearing a seat belt reduces your risk of serious harm by 50 percent their rollover crash more than three out of five deaths are from those who weren't wearing theirs seat belts save lives over 370 000 in fact most passengers killed in crashes weren't buckled up nobody is above the laws of physics buckle up and shift into safe a message from the Colorado Department of Transportation when you need meal time inspiration it's worth shopping king supers where you'll find over 30 000 mouth watering choices that excite your inner foodie and no matter what tasty choice you make you'll enjoy our everyday low prices plus extra ways to save like digital coupons worth over 600 dollars each week you can also save up to one dollar off per gallon at the pump with fuel points more savings and more inspiring flavors make shopping king supers worth it every time king supers fresh for everyone fuel restrictions apply burn it's like over here it's not ever it's just it's over here but it's a burn i'm burning her but on the side she's catching a stray so that there you go there it is he says uh look he says in Spanish look at my fucking face which i thought was great me Mira Mira me Chinga Chinga kara or something like that and i'm like holy shit um and uh like you just say whatever you want to in Spanish like they don't they don't know what the hell you're saying they definitely do that in Japanese because you guys call people the secret and stuff so um so we're gonna we're gonna beat you guys up jade is out there with them uh they have a really they have a they get to look really good yes against galson anderson um mia yem runs down and decides to attack jade a parker even though they fully finished their feud like they had a straight up like in a street fight yeah i don't know man um oh yeah there's i go Mira like Mira la Pinche kara there you go Mira la Pinche kara there you go Mira la Pinche kara. Luis is apoplectic yeah he's like the one weak my internet f's up and i miss the secretary and into assassins yeah it's true and it's true h because does do things to spite us just that oh 100 and then when he's not spiting us he's sailing our due cuts in versus oba femi idea um so uh yeah that after mia mia yem and and jade parker fight out of the ringside area uh otm just straight up wins yes like with a weird like assisted alabama slam which i feel like didn't actually go perfect yeah some someone we were there will be a really cool double-team move when they figured it out yeah um and again seat algato this is true mia yem should be focusing on her nia jack's match on friday imagine if imagine if just imagine if while running down the stairs of the of the stands she accidentally stepped on somebody's foot who had their legs a little too wide on the aisle and she twisted her ankle maybe tore tendon in there well then you couldn't do the angle that you were running on the main roster with her and nia jack's could you i mean obviously she'd also be injured and what a dumb way to get injured to be doing something on the main roster getting paid main roster money and then go down to to nxt doing something that doesn't matter whatsoever gosh i wonder if there's somebody to whom that exact thing happened last week that we could actually have a reference point because tyler bait was in a tag match last week that meant nothing it wasn't stakes there was nothing it was just for good old the good old sport of it we had this match the love of the game that was for the love of the tour his peck off the bone he did a full-on cody roads in a match with hankin tank and that was going to be out for months and months and months i hope when he comes back he wins the royal rumble though i don't expect i'll be so lucky uh well he would have to get in the ring with uh with the purple titty first that's what would have to happen for him to go on and do that if history predicts the future yeah there's a lot of freak accidents right i mean adam coals out for like a year and a half or whatever it feels like and that's why they look like it just is an ankle explosion are you are you doing something here like are you what are you doing at least like there's a grudge feud but like i don't know why it's still continuing like chetta parker beat the hell out of you and won a uh hardcore match like isn't that oh isn't it's over now right it's not over now also why is she not i get that she's a face here so like why is she not on the side of the we hate them like she should be a heel and on the side of the we hate the rook g's gals g's a heel in nxt because she's with gallows in anerson who are heels on nxt on the on the main rocker jade is a face though like jade is jade is a tweener leaning face like i think they figure out with with her like that's think that what they're doing because the otm got jumped by gallows in anerson for no reason and that's why yeah bronco name is face is all is all beat up because he got he actually took an actual shot while while doing the brack stage brawl thing and that's where they had to put off the the match for a week like otm should not be faces but no of course certainly you have to get gallows in anerson as the heels here but whatever um otm looked better than they ever have yes this was their best match yeah and gallows in anerson sold for them really well and they did did their job really really well tonight and listen like no no this is not i'm not don't mean to cast aspersions on our for our dear friend scripts but i feel like they're way better as the backup for jade a parker then scripts as guys you know what i mean i don't know if anyone could have seen how incredible jade a parker was going to be so fast like from uh just from like a charisma standpoint and like uh the way she's grabbed on to the things that feel more advanced and wrestling while still getting the fundamentals down um i i don't know if anyone anticipated she'd be like the breakout of of all this and she certainly is so we love scripts around here we love both versions of scripts around here uh and that's no conspiracy theory my friend but yeah this was definitely otm's best match and gallows in anderson did a really good job of of making them look great as well um for louise missin missin his all his boys tonight machine god murdering techers it's a lot yep so charlie dimcy closes a trunk and says that's what happens with there are consequences for mistakes mistakes will have consequences heard that yesterday yeah and then he uh yells yells that at uh at miles born who again is deaf and finally has to make miles born like turned to him like yeah miles yes yeah i get it um so it um so dame and camp is in there and they re murdered him and they drive off with his body in the in the trunk of the car um uh so you know r says they're not murderers they're just using the nxt parking lot you know it's i mean it's just the it is a resource that's available it's a thing that happens there it's a crime free zone or a law free zone yeah um will chism says uh william regal should have come up to charlie in the parking lot and said bloody yells sunshine i've heard people but not a murder you know me i feel like a murder for them is a little out of pocket damey kem didn't do anything that wrong did he um so speaking of damey camp i think it's too bad i think it was improving so i was really improving you know like here's a deal if they ever get around ever ever get around to doing the thing we want of chad gable with a stable of of murderer a chad stable a chad stable yeah um uh he could fit right in with them like people like he didn't have enough upside on the main roster but like not everybody's got to be a world beater you know what i mean you have dudes there who were like who are good enough to make the matches look decent but lose that's some people have got to be on your roster who are that okay and he would fit in really good as a second member of a tag team or something also he was getting better all the time like he was just a guy who showed up as weird part of the diamond mine thing and then like he was having really good matches when he was allowed to have he was good i don't understand what yeah saying this without obviously knowing the extent of circumstances you don't know attitudes you don't know if they wanted to be added there like all those things right with all that in mind from the viewer perspective that's a weird one to let go that's a weird one to let go because it felt like he was developing and getting really good um and i i think he he could have done some some really cool work and to your point you need guys who are serviceable to very good to eat pins and move things forward and sure also he might be even better than we were allowed to see like that there's so many of those so i was i was impressed with him every time he got in a wrestling wing and was allowed to wrestle for more than five minutes i was impressed by him agreed yeah apparently he's gonna keep wrestling he's gonna do stuff on the indies and i think i think he will get a lot of run there he he's the kind of guy who will go on like who will show up in an indie fed and have the best match of the night kind of a thing and people will be like oh crap yeah this guy's really good you know like he's gonna he's gonna get a run in tna at some point and make people like i don't here's a deal i don't think anybody thought that Steve Maclin was Steve Maclin sure you know what i mean so like could Damon Kemp be that level of a type of guy in tna sure he could absolutely he just you know like we'll see there's also i think he would do very well in japan i think he would do very well in japan did not even just new japan like him getting to go to like DDT or Noah or something for someone that's like still growing yeah they could be really good so best of luck to him um hope that i think he has a very bright future if he keeps improving at the rate that we saw him improve it for sure he would have a bright future but as we saw tonight he's dead and then the trunk of a car he did rip uh rip in his family yeah um uh yes the bobby steveson may have a very bright future but Damon Kemp is a dead man uh in the back of a car and the other person knows about it are the north quarter catch crew and wenson claire who's like i didn't see anything i said nothing she'd be great with that yep you know i could go for if they don't want to do aryana grace and uh chelsea green uh renson claire seems to have the same kind of character capability that would that would be a fun a fun little duo sure um yeah now this is a dream match yeah your shanko right yeah fellan henley cuts a promo on solruca on a on a in into her phone uh solruca backstage i don't have an issue with fellan but um i'm alert either to put it in the work or you bitch and put it put it obvious what side of that that henley that fellan henley's on i mean no it's not fella henley put in all kinds of work she was not nearly this good when she got here she's putting a bunch of what i'm tired of them drawing a line like just because somebody's a heel in your face doesn't mean that they're lazy bad at this like and if the whole thing is you're a veteran who's been around for a while like that shouldn't that shouldn't indicate not good at this like that that was very weird to me too um but fellan henley and solruca have a decent little match solruca hits a sole snatcher and before she can even float over for the pin income jacie jane and jesminex to attack her she gets beat up um and uh jesminex is in there like yeah don't we all hate rookies it's crazy how much more experience i have in the ring than solruca right guys because if we're if we are talking about like ranking people in seniority i mean i have way at the top for a decade at least if there was a combine for seniority i would be ranked like third jacie remember when you were in toxic attraction and i was also here that was one times five times that was great uh anyway um uh tenon paxley is backstage and somebody with a camera annexing you anonymous is watching her cut a promo to a barbie doll about how um the titles will always be there but right now i have to get even with the girls who i always want to play with but they don't want to play with me and so then she says something under underneath the surface we're all been uh i didn't hear what word she said so i just so underneath the surface we're all i have no idea what she said no idea i don't either but i don't want to now because you say i don't know i don't know what she says um when did you tag team please um she rips the head off the barbie leaves it there and then when did you uh comes in and picks it up and like it's honestly is is it as good as the thing that they put on uh social media last week where it's it's just tatum there by herself so great listening to you got a friend in me at in walks when did you who comes in interlaces her fingers and holds her hand and tatum immediately gets happy and and when he just turns to the camera with her dead eyes i'm like that's it there you go that's everything i need these two what together would be amazing so yeah tatums really like settling into this quite well i feel like that initial vignette we saw was so strong yeah but it was recorded so seeing stuff like this this was recorded to obviously but this feels more more low maintenance i should say less produced yeah i can't think of someone better to learn from and with than Karen kiwendichu dragon she uh she she's just so good at the ring it's so good at everything they've thrown at her really fun pairing but at the same time women's tag teams in edXt is where tag teams go to die like there's there's only one way these ends there's there's not even titles anymore so eventually they will turn on each other but who is a face at a heel and that is a weird thing yeah ceterical examers official on the nxt roster um apparently that's cool that's great i love i want oh i want to see him wrestling but like we did a we did a whole draft i mean he wasn't really drafted though he was like signed it's a free agent kind of deal like he wasn't drafted it was like one of those deals you know so so but he was he was drafted he was drafted with his tag team partner who now he signed separately to nxt so they're not going to be a tag team in nxt um as a matter of fact it feels like they're pushing to be rivals because Stevie Turner brought Cedric Alexander in and and Robert Stone brought in Ashanti the Adonis who shums in right afterwards and then has a talk with Ava Rain so or Ava or whatever she's got a last name we just don't know what it is uh Ava Ava Rock so um so Ava Rock and Ava Roll i am so in on Cedric and nxt yes please ever got to be there he i feel like he would have he would have cleaned up in nxt what like they went straight from the the uh cwc into 205 live all those all of those 205 liveers should have been wrestling in front of the black and gold nxt fans yes because they would have appreciated everything that they did as opposed to in front of 40 fans who uh couldn't get an uber in time to get home from a smack down taping you know what i mean like and so he's he's gonna tear the roof off the place if they let them do it um i'm i'm really really excited about what Cedric can do um one of the last guys from the quisaway classics still signed it's like him and tozawa i think everybody else is gone um no mdar no mdar still there uh so like that's i guess that's three out of like 32 um that's a tragedy because just the best wrestlers in the world but they did have someone like as a tag team for a while and then gone i i fear louise is under the impression that was a good episode based on him being like i missed this i missed that just no just no no it wasn't despite these these highlights i just don't want you to so Cedric Alexander is is going is going to be finally appreciated for what he is in nxt hopefully hopefully let him wrestle let him wrestle good matches they give him matches again Cedric Alexander versus Ethan page would be amazing sure open and over femmy who i mean yeah all the families everyone femmy is going would it would be a really good match but oboe femmy would crush him i think um cedric would have a a decent shot at making you believe he was going to be eat the page eat the page you know what i mean like that's yeah so anyway um main event rolls around okay and at any point they could have if they were going to do this they could have said his name well they didn't say his name so Ethan and and Sean are in there well they have a backstage segment where they're getting ready for their match and they're like trick doesn't have any friends why would the most overt guy on the roster have any friends in the locker room in this locker room in this economy no um so uh yeah he um he comes out by himself ready to do business ready to have his match and then it's johenry's theme and he's there and the crowd goes nuts and this is this i i have a unique uh experience with uh johenry which is say i have none and as i've said before there are the grand majority of the people who watch nxt don't watch tna as evidence evidence just by like if everybody who watches tna also watches nxt um then most they're ready to be much higher and they would have a tv contract yes right right exactly so i mean like that kind of a thing so um he's he's a he's a viral wrestler among the people who know him but if you don't know who he is if you have no concept of who he is all you've seen him do is be introduced in a in an important way before the battle royal get eliminated first and let's say also you like most people don't watch the backstage little bits they put online so you don't see them coming backstage and arguing with shawn michaels about you set them all up to do this you make sure all of your guys i know all of your guys eliminated me so i'm saying like this is how limited of an exposure you have to this guy going through so everyone in in the the um the performance center crowd very excited about him being there so i like i know everyone loves him but i have no experience watching any of his stuff none but i know that he ever one loves him from out of this but let's say i didn't do that and i'm sitting there watching everybody wow this guy must be amazing like everyone is so excited to watch what he does let's see what he does that's so amazing nothing he got a good chokeslam nothing like at one point he does the um uh you've got me in a in a in a in a guillotine and i'm going to reverse that into a vertical suplex with a which a hundred wrestlers can do and i've seen done done before i don't like i'm not saying he's not special i'm saying they they put forward no effort to show him being special to anybody who didn't know who he was you know what i mean like that's the thing is like the thing was with Luis i'm not doing homework and neither is anybody else you have a responsibility the show you put on this guy's really important right he's a viral he's a thing so show us the stuff on your television show that makes him that apparently he he writes songs did he sing a song tonight no did he give him any mic time tonight no he just showed up and bick joseph was really excited to see him but bookertine didn't know who the hell he was but then bookertine doesn't know who was the roster is you know what i mean like i i don't know like they're they they didn't present him in the match present him as a star which i feel like you have a responsibility not only to him if you're going to put him on your show but also like to your audience to to make make them excited about it it's weird i love how mixed the chat is um agreement disagreement and then pure silliness and um i i can certainly understand that i am more familiar with joe henry uh why you have him get eliminated at a battle royal first so we do not have him cut a song on shawn michaels probably a sexy boy parody to exhibit the thing that he is most over for even as a social media exclusive joe henry doing a sexy boy parody would be fantastic um and you write this match it was a decent showing for someone who's very over um he's extremely strong he didn't get to do a lot of strong guy stuff in this and it felt like they didn't really give him anything until kind of the very end like he um didn't even have like kind of any comebacks but i feel like till towards the end so it was just it's been a very weird thing of huge star what are the most viral wrestlers in the world right now what are the most viral nxt clips you've ever gotten let's eliminate him first in the battle royal have him a decent chore of it made me be like oh this is where this is going he's gonna cut a track on shawn michaels but didn't at all yeah well delivered by him but there was no follow up and then tonight he had a he had a perfectly chromulin showing it's the kid i mean i guess like it he could have been anybody well i don't know what i mean chromulin's not a word so whatever i said could be correct or incorrect your your what you the way you used it is the way you you meant it to be used and so yeah he could it was fine but like but you you could like it like i don't know man like i'm also like i i don't i mean he apparently like charted as like a singer but did they tell anybody about that no like so like i wouldn't even know like oh he's a singer i should after the show is over i'm gonna go to spotify and see if i can find his songs and oh my god these are hilarious i love this guy oh i'm gonna go on a i'm gonna go down to youtube rabbit hole watching his best matches like oh they didn't they were like wow this guy is important take our word for it we're definitely not gonna book him to look important in the match he's currently having but take our word for it he's important we're not gonna give you details about how important he is or what exactly he is known for so you can then do the research yourself you know what i mean yeah so that's very fair that's all very fair yeah they didn't do anything to tell you this guy's a star other than you be like oh my god the crowd was really into this guy he must be a big deal like they didn't they didn't go out of his way to there's not like a spot in the match that he did where i'm like holy shit i'm gonna remember that kind of thing for sure yeah i just i kind of if they're gonna do this i kind of wanted it to be like something big deal it should feel like a big deal and and the the most infuriating part of the whole thing is i have no idea why he's jick william's partner oh absurd yeah there's no cable reason where where did he come from that does this trick well did trick williams like have his number in his phone why didn't trip williams pick a loser like is like is like is the one thing we know about him is that he lost first in the battle royal even you know what it means even if he wasn't a kayfabe loser in nxt is there a portal from tna into nxt in the back but you just reach through it and grab a guy and bring him out why why they didn't have us a thing of like him going backstage and asking other people who he does know to like be his tag partner like a guy's dinged up he's not cleared wesley is like oh man i totally would but the boys are here and we're gonna go out for drinks and catch up on old times but next time i promise because that would totally make sense he doesn't he's not asking anybody else he just he does i i don't Alex they send people from the main roster for no reason this is literally a reason yeah uh mr shotime says kate believes in joe henry and also predicted duke for soba kate you are just the best all Alex always the sourdest apparently i am um we believe in sgs fuffa fuffa life thank you so much mr shotime um jabie pringle says amazing Alex kill it kate papa paul is a bit sisters louise and all the sgs y'all ever heard of some guy named joe henry i believe in him such a good thing uh and simmons 211 says joe henry better be in the rumble i mean sure can he can he do in those weird spots can he come out first so we can cut a full fromo and make to anybody like if that is what makes him special because what i've been told is like what makes him special oh he's he's really good in the mic and he's got all this personality and charisma but like that wasn't shown at all tonight so when if you're gonna make if that's what makes him special allow him to be special and give him the time to show that otherwise it just you know the reason they can't do that is it'll be the only theme that anybody pops for because deferevel is bad at their job um medical jam tree beard says trick should have gotten oba to help him instead and they could have saved joe henry to mess with ego during this entrance by putting his face on the tron instead of egos video like trick going to oba would be amazing and oba being like ha ha ha ha ha no like that like that wouldn't that would have been that would have been so good like that what that's the thing what if you tell him at the beginning here's your tag partner oops your tag partner got injured and you've got to find another tag partner if you have him go through the entire night like asking different people and them having reasons why they can't or turning them down then by the time you do the segment with the ego he's in page and chon sprits he doesn't have any friends ha ha ha and then a surprise comes out i just wish that like at any point we've ever seen trick williams and joe henry interact like if you had the thought maybe you would end up doing this on the night of the battle royal having him and joe henry bump into each other backstage you know what's kind of the frickin silliest why would trick not go get ora manta i mean it's so true it's the perfect obviously that's the guy because all aral manta came out during the match tonight and attacked ethan page which is allowed chon sprits to get pinned by joe henry so it should be or what did we use to call oral messiah it should be ora manta um bad double jam tree beards says because of the history between the two have drew as number one in the rumble and then henry is number two and he brings back his drew world parody that would be a lot of fun because i have seen him do his i'm drew da ba dia ba da i've seen that that was cute you know what i mean but like if that's all you've ever ever seen of it and honestly like most people who are watching nxt have not seen that so they have no idea what this is you know what i mean just do you do a better job presenting him as the stars that apparently he is just try that's all uh you know i says when has nxt been about details alex they can start being about details anytime they want they can start being about details it's well and honestly they should do it when have they started being about details uh the opening segment was incredibly detail oriented about the match that they just had on the weekend yeah everybody went through the details of their performance in that match and used it as a way to buy for the title and i loved that yeah just do that across the board um that would be kind of funny if if he was walking around looking at everything and all of a sudden he looked at a monitor and saw him for a second go to joe andry and he just walks into frame that beats so good hey what are you doing tonight boom that would be the coolest thing everyone that would be a hasa i would pop for that huge if he just said and he just walks into frame and it's just there because he said his name that would be so cool no if he did that and joe hunter was like hey man look immediately the joe tom of allee making a very important thing a very important point did shawn michaels do it during his career because if he didn't do it during his career he can't book it for his own show it's a very good point someone pitches exactly what you just said and he's like what about like a really dramatic super kick into retirement that's not anywhere close to the um cam cam watson um uh telling us that his youngest daughter younger daughter has the perfect wrestling name luna tempest and tempest is spelled with a y i'm in she's going to be five foot nothing of crazy drive and skill future sgs champion can she play like d2 volleyball by chance um will chism says the oc is heels but the fans treat them like it's still 2014 in japan chanting too sweet whoop whoop too sweet whoop whoop people do love a good chant they do they do they do love a good chant um bed double gem tree beard is just making me angry says i have an a w prediction that might upset alix uh or might make him happy to see him get destroyed yeah jeff jerett will be in blood and guts since he is slowly turning face and having issues with the elite now he's a hundred years old no he will not they're not gonna look i loved the

partnership because it seems like tna is going to get gutted and if the old legs and tna's main event is all they have left yeesh but i mean like listen everyone is assuming i mean probably rightly so that when jordan graces contract is up she's walking right into and it to wwe you know i mean and i'm sure they're trying to get joe henry to come into wwe with this little this little dalliance so like yeah they're trying to do that for sure i mean yeah but i don't i don't think that's they'll also release people who will sign with tna they they will they will do that there will be lots of

desert near them on the sand half sunk a sattered visage lies whose frown and wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command tell that it sculptor well those passions read which yet survive stamped on these lifeless things the hand that mocked them and the heart that fed and on the pedestal these words appear my name is osmandius king kings look on my works yimati and despair nothing besides remains
