Is your vehicle stopping like it should? Does it squeal or grind when you break? Don't miss out on summer break deals at O'Reilly Auto Parts. ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ ♪ O'Reilly Auto Parts ♪ - Hello, Fightful Faithful. Welcome to another episode of the Tuesday Sour Graph's N.H.T.P. show. I'm your host, Alex Velowski, and everything sucks. Kate is also here. - I am also here, Alex. - Kate is always also here, and that's the best part of the show, is that Kate is always also here. You know what, that's gotta be the best part of the show because listen, on a night where N.H.T. does halfway decent, and then they just end the show like that and make us remember, oh no, you were fooling us. You were fooling us for most of the night. You were fooling us to think you might be good, but you're not. That was on us. That was my bad, my bad. I was not familiar with your game. Actually, I was, and then tricked myself into thinking I wasn't. - I would say, we're very familiar with H.P.K.'s game. - And you guys are familiar with what we asked you to do at the beginning of the show, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop just like it doesn't mean H.P.K.'s gonna stop. So, get in those super chats, get in those humpertets@humpertets.com and please leave a thumbs up on this video. We asked you to subscribe to Fightful Select where the weirdest Ricky Starks news maybe, went up earlier today, you can check that out. Very, very odd one. Sean said admittedly a frustrating one to work on, but everybody's been asking about Ricky Starks, so Sean's doing the best he can to find out in a story that got suggested or kicked off by the rumor bill a little bit. So, some clarity there on Fightful Select.com for you about Ricky Starks. Also, all of the contract news that anybody could ever possibly want. And Forbidden Door is coming up, so you know there's gonna be more Scoop skis coming out of that weekend, but Alex, we gotta next to you to talk about. And as you said, a better, significantly better than last week. Last week was Colossally Bit. This episode was much better. And it started with turmoil. - It did. Of the tag team variety. - Teddy Long was like turmoil. - Well, meet Norma starts us out with sub partners, let's crank, maybe Gaba Gulby with us all, HBK hates us, meet loves all, even the vegans. - Thank you, meet Norma, so it's very fun. - All right, okay. No, let's, okay. I'm trying to figure out what's, did we do this last week? When was the week that, I think we did this. Did we do cook out the cook out puns? Most of them do barbecue puns because of meet Norma, and they're just making me think of like summer and barbecue. But didn't we do the cook out when Cody Rhodes was invited to set cook out? So like people are saying candy puns because of the ridiculous beach angle at the end. I don't know what's, what's a good pun? - You know what, because of this, because of the SJ and KOR tomorrow. - Yeah. - I think today we do like technology puns 'cause of the techers. And because of the no quarter catch club angle. Technology puns. - Technology puns because of techers. - That's what's up. - Yes. - That's like the most for me thing in the world. Sometimes I get nice things. - Because of tech bros spelled T-E-K-K. Technology puns, here we go. Technology puns because we're getting Z-J versus KOR tomorrow night. - And TV on heights joining the no quarter. - Yes, and we'll talk more about the ridiculousness of that in a little bit. Tom LaValle says, what's up SGS? Z-J versus KOR tomorrow. Yes, yes, indeed, yes. Tim McFall says happy pride SGS, HBK is being homophobic with his booking. The gays deserve a main title storyline. That makes sense during our month of fabulousness. That battle royal sure wasn't impactful, wasn't it? Yeah, no reason for the battle royals who have ever taken place. - When you said it was homophobic with his booking, I was like, what did I miss? As a wrestling analyst, what did I miss on the show that was homophobic, just that it was bad, okay. - Just in general. Yeah, what's the gays aren't in the main storyline? - That's fair. - The gay community needs a storyline in NXT. - That's fair. - Um, tag team turmoil was announced as a way to figure out the number one contenders to fight the blurry boys at NXT Heatwave. And then they announced who the teams were and three out of five of them. Three out of five of the teams were from the main roster. - That's Alex, I'm no mathematician, but that's a majority of the teams. - That is a majority, that is almost 60% of the teams in there, it's somewhere between 58 and 62% of the teams in the turmoil match. - If you look at the main roster and you look at the NXT teams, you will know that those are not the same. - No, they're not, they're not. So a new catch republic who's just hanging out, having seven minute matches on main event, not really doing anything, Lord knows, like, I mean, I thought they were gonna keep the titles on Awesome Truth all the way through the summer, you know, because I'm not that lucky. But it turns out they were like, no, let's take them off of Awesome Truth. And they're like, oh, great. And put them on it, no, we're just gonna put them right back on the judgement day. Put that, make that- Put them back on the judgement day. - Make the Liv Morgan Sexting story more prominent. Let's involve all of the divisions on Raw in that story. But the no quarter catch, no, no, sorry, the new catch republic, all the catches start with an N. - They're so much. - No quarter, new catch, it's just too much. So anyway, the, pretty strong style, pretty strong style is part of this thing, the legato boys are part of this thing, and the good brothers. Now, all three teams have appeared recently in NXT, but that doesn't matter because everybody appears in NXT. Apparently somebody appeared in NXT during this match that I missed because I decided to, I said to myself when this match was starting, I forgot to switch over the laundry. I'm gonna go into the laundry room, and I'm going to take the laundry out of the dryer and take the laundry that's in the washer and put it in the dryer, so that by the end of the night, and of this episode, all the laundry that's in that second load will be dry, I'll be able to pull it out and fold it during the main event, which I was able to do, by the way. - You had no laundry turmoil today. - Which was night, I didn't know laundry turmoil. But you know what, I was in, it would felt like for five minutes in the laundry room out of earshot of this thing. And two of the five teams were already out by the time I got back. I have no idea what I just know, Ederson O'Fay and Malik played, lost to the British strong style in the first match. I know that happened, 'cause I saw that on Twitter. Apparently, legato came in next, and they lost because of Apollo Crews. Like, if you, that would be a thing if we were doing a Sans of Blind episode, I'd be like, what, no, that's a lie. - No, that has to be a lie. - And he didn't even do anything except appear and get held back by security. There was no like, he didn't surprise anybody out of nowhere, he didn't. - He didn't like push somebody off the top rope while the referee wasn't looking? - No, no, just existed. - And he just existed nearby? - No, he, in their defense, he is so poorly, they do such a bad job featuring him on television that I would be like, who is that as well? Because they never used this guy who's like, let it clean up. - He jumped up on the apron? Oh, fun, that's wonderful. What a great way to do that, so. - But like, but it wasn't like, like security just came and got him. - Yeah. - Like it wasn't, it was a distraction. - It was at this moment when I walked back in and all I saw was the Tiger driver done to Garza and the new catch and I was like, okay, I know exactly what's gonna happen. Next is the good brothers and it was, new catch wins and then in comes chase you. And on the graphic, it showed Andre Chase and Duke Hudson were gonna be the tag team involved. So I assumed that was what was going to happen and if that was going to happen, in fact, then it was going to also involve a little bit of chicane or a little bit of underhandedness, a little bit of skullduggery from old Ridge Holland was going to win the day for the Chase you kids. And Duke Hudson will be the only one who knows what's happening. But does he care enough about honesty and truthfulness to sabotage his team's chances of winning the tag titles or does he prize gold above all? It's a bad storyline made worse by the acting involved because Ridge Holland is doing it. And it's just not what, listen, this is not what I wanna be, this is not what I want from my tag divisions. Ever, and I feel like I get that from all the tag divisions in the WWE, like we could just get an old fashioned NXT takeover style tag match, 18 minutes to start the night of Axiom at Nathan Frazier versus Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate. Imagine them going out there, bringing down the house regardless of who wins, walking in the back of the grill and saying, follow that motherfuckers, do that, frickin' do that. - I don't think they're gonna say a swear like that. - If we're past five minutes, it doesn't matter. No, fuck about this frickin' show we do, Kate. Nobody's checkin' up on us. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, the people that care quite a bit, okay, they're a long, - We, I'm talkin' about right that we're on. - The man isn't checkin' up on us. The man's like, let those people do their silliness, okay? - And I'll come on right as they're finishing and talk at them about nothing. - The good bros end up losing and then run a foul of OTM on the way out and then it comes the chase you people and that's it. - That's really cool. - No, the Becky Lynch is not checkin' on, not that man, a different man. - I, okay, so I got to see Duke Hudson Russell. And I am a fan of Duke Hudson Wrestling. - You got to see him wrestle one of the matches. He could've come in earlier and then you got to see him wrestle multiple matches that we're gonna do. - I know that Alex, but I'm takin' what I can get and I got to see him come in immediately be like, "You're done, you're done, bang." I like it when Duke Hudson actually wrestles. Andre Chase, winning with a cross body, is something that we-- - Okay, so the finish of the friggin' match. Tyler Bait is gonna do a diving thing over the top rope to the outside to land an Andre Chase, but Ridge Holland pushes Andre Chase out of the way and Tyler Bait lands on him instead. Somehow, hurting Tyler Bait more than if he landed on Andre Chase. That there was no offense done to him. His plan was to dive over the top rope and land on a guy. Instead, he dove over the top rope and landed on a guy. Like, I don't understand how the second thing hurts you, but the first thing wouldn't have hurt you. So then after that move that he did to himself, he gets rolled back in the ring and Andre Chase hits a cross body on him off the top rope and pinned Tyler Bait. What in God's name are we doing with any of this? - Also... - I mean, commentary going, commentary going. Ridge Holland sacrificed himself. I was like, he's not in the match. She didn't sacrifice himself, and he had one small spot outside. That's not sacrificing yourself, is it? - He pushed Andre Chase out of the way and then took the dive from Tyler Bait, thereby doing a lot of damage to Tyler Bait. - Yeah, like... - Just, like, he shoved Andre Chase out of the way and then punched Tyler Bait in the gut as he fell down 'cause the ref wasn't watching anyway. Also, if the ref had been watching, there's nothing that Ridge Holland did that's illegal. Shoving your own partner and then standing there so the other guy lands on you, does not get you thrown to the back or your own team disqualified. So, like, he could have easily punched him in the gut as he was dropping down, then rolled him back in while the ref was looking over at Duke Hudson and then that would have worked everything out, but no, they didn't do any of that. So, like, later when Ridge Holland is all smug and walking backstage and Tyler Bait is like, "Hey, Ridge, what was that all about?" And I'm like, "Well, you saved his..." Like, you're Tyler Bait. Yeah, okay, he shouldn't have done that, but like, your plan was to fly through the air and land on a guy and instead you flew through the air and landed on a guy. - Landed on a guy. - Like, it's the diff that... And also, it feels like Ridge Holland has more muscle mass. So, like, it would be, like, you wouldn't, like, Andre Chase's shoulder bones. It got to be jutting out at crazy angles, you know what I mean? Like, it doesn't feel like that guy's got a whole lot of left hand in there, right? - The idea is that he's so much bigger and stronger that it's more of an impact, but the good of this for me is, I think the right team for the NXT product won, meaning that I was just saying, "Man, this act used to be so over. "Now they're not even booked for their last PLE." And now they did something with them. So good for them, because they should, because they're over to their respective audience. So, their respective audience, they should. They're very over. And other, like, what is New Catch Republic gonna do here? What is... - I don't know. - What are Angel Garza and Umberto gonna do? Like, to me, the bigger... - They just link back over to SmackDown and stand behind Santos while he probably loses a triple threat for a shot to get into the money in the bank. They, like, you know, don't... - I say this before, I say this again. WWE has an issue with their stables, where their leaders are made to look very strong, but the stable looks weak, meaning that everybody else in the stable is... They're just guys. They're just guys that are there to take pinfalls or service the leader. Like, and if you need to service your leader, blueshoe.com, go try it full. But, like, meaning they don't have, they don't have, like, they don't, there's usually, like, a pinfall guy, but right now it feels like if there's five guys in a stable, there's four pinfall guys. One guy that's the leader. - Yeah. - And that's a major issue to me of... Because then, stuff like this happens, and you're like, okay, so you lost here on the next tee and now you're gonna go to Smackdown, where you're still not gonna feel significant. And that's a problem. And in the case of the good brothers, they're gonna be heels again. And they were just faces. Like, this is, if out the mug is a tag team, the rest of the tag teams are in the mud. That's how they got out the mud. 'Cause the rest of the division is just mud. 'Cause the most do you even put in here without those three main roster tag. - Well, you could have built up team bouncy beef. They debuted like six weeks ago. Could have given them some wins on TV. Could have done a lot of stuff. - One half of them is in the world picture now, right? Like, I mean... - No, Jevon Evans isn't part of team bouncy beef. Tyreke Igway and Tyson Dupont. Both of those men look like they ate Jevon Evans. - I'm an idiot, yes. - No, I know, that's... - I got my bouncy gimmicks crossed up. - Yes, they were DS, that he's... - Very hot in my office, I'm an idiot. - He is not bouncy, he's bouncy beef jerky. He's very hot, he's a wiry, he's hot back. - I'm out of my mind. I was thinking one bouncy, one beef, I got it all wrong. - Yeah, no, it's different. - But that's a problem too. They should be getting a ton of wins on my screen. 'Cause they're super exciting, so... - Galis could have easily been in this. - Galis would have been a good show. - Like, both Wolfgang and Mark Coffey are healthy. It's an insult to them that they were not in here. - Long reigning tag champions, yes. - Yeah, they were long-winning tag champions. They don't put fucking, put Stax and Luca in here. Like, there's, they're, they have tag teams, you have tag teams on the roster. You know what I mean? Like, if you're gonna have Chase U win it anyway, just have them beat all the other tag teams on the roster. - Yes. - Anyway, so, Rich Holland is strutting around backstage like he did something and Tyler Bates is like, "Hey, what was that all about?" And Rich looks like he was caught, you know, shoplifting by the, like, you know what I mean? Like, "Oh, no." (laughing) Like as a kid and, and Pete Dunn is like, "Oh, what's going on?" You were supposed to go on and branch out on your own and what you do, what you wear in that and you joined up with them, explain that. So I like that, like, Rich left Pete Dunn on the main roster alone saying, "I gotta go find myself or something." And goes to NXT and the next time Pete Dunn sees him, he's joined up with somebody else. And Pete Dunn's like. - What the hell, bro? - Yeah. (laughing) - This was all decent story that carries through, but at the same time, like, Duke had Republic needs to be prominently featured on the show that they were drafted. - Right. - Like, they should be challenging Judgment Day and beating them, right? - Yeah. - That's the other thing, like, if you're calling tag team staff from the main roster, I know this week they hinted at it, so you can't, whatever. Like, they hinted at the Gable Alliance pretty heavily. But like, the creeds would be the ones to come back down here in this role, right? - It made me, maybe, I don't know. Yeah, it is, it's all weird. I forgot to mention Ava rallying the troops who were all refs. All right, we've got extra security here. And the refs are looking, like, you don't mean us, right? All we do is go, hey, knock it off. We're not actually security. We don't actually do anything. I don't know why she was like giving them instructions 'cause they were just guys in, you know, Black security uniforms were doing all of the stuff tonight. But she's like, whether it happens in the parking lot or we gotta stop, we, I have brought an extra security to make sure that there will be no breaches of security. And they were like, breaches of security literally all night. - There really were, there really were. - Honestly, it wouldn't have been so bad if you didn't call attention to all of the things you have got, all of the likes you have gone to, to ensure there will be no breaches of security. And then you show us security breach after security breach, like Apollo Crews isn't supposed to be there. Get down off of there. Or a mensa, the beach, like everybody. - In her defense, she didn't say they were good at this. She just said there was gonna be more security because there is a group of homicidal maniacs on the main roster running around, which I think is fair. - They didn't mention them. I mean, as far as I know, they're not in Florida. I mean, everyone's in Florida, but you know, we see. - I'm just saying, if those guys are around the company I work at, that's part of why I'm bringing an extra security. - Carmen Petrovich is backstage watching on an iPad, Roxanne hitting Lola with a back fist last week. - Yes. - I mean, like, wow, it didn't even really hurt her. And in comes Roxanne is like, what are you doing? What are you talking about me? Let me watch what you're watching on the iPad. All right, Carmen. Oh, what do you want? You watching the real stars of the women's division, hoping you will be one day? - And Carmen says something back to her and that's how the match gets made for later in the night. - There's like four or five women watching backstage. And there's never men's segments that are set up like this, which makes me think that either these women need hobbies or they need to freshen up the playbook a little bit. 'Cause there's way too many women standing backstage or women sitting backstage segments without any kind of, like at least in this one, they were doing something as opposed to having an episode of the view like they so often are, like just literally standing there talking with their blonde wave hair. But I actually liked that this got set up today because Roxanne should be fighting people between championship belts and carbon picture riches. Kind of like in that, in non-story line, she should be working with people like Roxanne who are well established and very, very, very good at this. In storyline, she's a new up-and-comer and Roxanne is the champ. So she should. - Hey guys, I'm here to tell you about eBay Auto. eBay Motors is the leading online platform for automotive dealers to get their inventory in front of over 7 million ready to buy shoppers who are buying cars and trucks on eBay Motors every three minutes, every single day.

Granger, for the ones who get it done. Me, kind of shooting or shot, even if it's a long shot. So I liked that this happened, and I liked that it happened tonight. Like, on the way to heat wave, this is a perfectly suitable match. Yeah. So let's just talk about it right now, which is whatever. Lola's on commentary for it, and Booker T just needs to, what's the opposite of blue shoe? 'Cause he needs that. Red. Crunch? Crunch? Crunch? Red crunch is good. He needs red crunch. He needs red crunch. 'Cause he just needs to calm the hell down when Lola is around. The opposite of blue shoe is... (laughing) Okay, so Lola Feiss comes out and Booker T is like, (laughing) for 45 seconds straight as she walks to the ring, and she's on commentary for Roxanne versus Carmen Petrovitch and Roxanne wins. Obviously, that is what this is for. Carmen looks fine for most of the match. It's whatever, it's fine, it's whatever it is. And then Lola decides to get into the ring, and then she does a back fist to Roxanne, which knocks her the F out, and leaves abscons with the title. Abscons, it's a great word. She abscons with the title. It's an interesting great word, and it's underutilized, to be honest. And so she leads to the title, but I liked what she did. She walked into Lava's office and says, "Hey, when your champ finally wakes up, "you can give this back to her "and tell her I want her at heatwave." And when Roxanne comes in, she's like, "How dare you steal the championship from me?" He's like, "I didn't, Lola did, "but then she left to hear for you." Like, how she needs to be stopped. Somebody's got to do something about this. Well, you could do something about it at heatwave. And Roxanne's like, "How dare you?" And she walks away, and Ab was like, "Hmm, what a great idea I just had." I'm like, "No, Lola told you to tell her "she's in a match with me." And you did, and you're like, "I am the greatest GM in the world." And I'm like, "I feel like you're not." No, you know what, take your credit. This world is hard enough, take credit. She's the one that made it official. She's the one that made it official. Take credit for the idea. - Listen, there's another moment. I don't even remember who was being interviewed. I'm now all out of sorts. But Jada, so those CAs has laid out OTM with chairs in the back. That's earlier, again, security, powerless to stop it. Jada, interrupt some interview with somebody to say, "Hold up, Meachin, you your boys want to lay out OTM? "You want to suck or punch me?" 'Cause that happens during the whole, when Jada's up in the face of big loop gallows. And Meachin hits her and says, "You want to do this? So how about this? "You and me next week, street fight." And I was like, "Oh, wow." So then later, big breaking news, folks. It is official. There will be a street fight. And I'm like, when was the last time somebody went on camera and said, "You and me next week, street fight." And later they go, "Actually, I'm being told "the GM has said we're not doing that match." Like as soon as she says, "I want you in a street fight." Everyone knows it's official. It's not big time breaking news. It never is. - Yeah, but like you should make it official. - It was indeed the Kalani interview before that match. So that was Kalani being interrupted. So here they go. - What do you want to do? You want to talk about the Roxanne and Lola stuff entirely and put a bow on it? - Yeah, yeah. - Okay. - All that. (clears throat) So at the end of the show, we get this officially made, like you said, and, or towards the end of the show. And I really like this as a program since Julia, it seemed like he can't go. Like that, this is the, even though they're both heels, it's the most logical thing you could do and they feel like very, very different heels and they have some history. So I like this. I thought the way, I hate it when people run away with the belt because I'm like, I get it, but that doesn't make you champion. This was a nice little spin on that of like, I'm taking the belt hostage to get my title match, kind of. The bench with Carmen Petrovitch was fine. There is kind of, trying to take a power one or phrase this. There are a lot of up-and-coming women in NXT that are at the same level it feels like. And I'm intrigued to see who kind of breakthrough breaks through with that new next level is. 'Cause like Solruka's on her way there, but there are a lot of women who can do the moves and have some charisma and whatever. Like the ones, what I loved about like Tiffany Stratton was we saw her put all these pieces together over time. - Yeah. - And there's a lot of people that are kind of swimming in the same depth of the pool right now. And so I'm intrigued to see who kind of breaks out of that because to me it feels like Jada is pretty good in the ring and upside for days on the character and charisma side. And Kalani I feel like is incredibly like athletic in the ring and they've given her no character as we saw tonight kind of in this interview where she's just, man, what they gave her to say was, I'm not here for drama, which is like never fun for wrestling, for starters. - I want a drama-free title. - I want a drama-free title ring, not usually the, especially in the NXT environment, not necessarily like where you want to go. But like she made history with this and it doesn't feel like they allowed her to stand on the history that she made in this promo. She is however the prettiest woman I've ever seen. So I would like for them to give her some depth and I will just marvel at how gorgeous she is until they do that. But I like the program for Heatwave. I think it's a good way to go. I like what we end up getting matchwise. It is kind of interesting that we have a heel on heel and a face on face set up for both titles, which is a little odd, but it feels like for people that are ready for the shot that also have the momentum behind it. Like these are the programs that we should probably be getting at this point. - I mean, if you're asking me what I'd rather see Bolo versus Kalani and Seoul versus Roxanne, 1 million percent I would. Because I think it's a lot easier for someone who is only remedially good at this in HBK to book a face versus heel program. You know, like I think that that Lola's and Roxanne are making this a lot better than I thought it would be, but the inverse is true on the other side. We're like, I feel like I'm gonna watch two friends sparring. You know what I mean? Like we'll talk more about-- - That's fair, that's fair. I feel like Seoul isn't quite at the big title challenge point, but I understand where she's gonna lose to Roxanne. So like that's her journey is she gets a title shot and then maybe later she gets another one and maybe she becomes champion by that point, but that could be like eight months from now. Kylie, this is always wonderful when you send in things like this where you say, I hope you both are doing well, I love you both. We love you too, Kylie. - Thank you so much. - Thank you. - Another thing that didn't make a lot of sense though, Carly Bright and again, whatever her tag partner's name is, I think it's Kila Gray, I have no idea, something. They're in Ava's office and she goes, you make very good points and I could see why you would want this match. So Carly Bright, it'll be you versus Wendy Chu next week on NXT. She goes, thanks and she leaves. So the only reason you would want to have anything to do with Wendy Chu is because she attacked you and your tag partner and so you really want revenge. So the reaction to being told you have a match with her shouldn't be thanks and then leaving. You should be like, I'm gonna, thank you for this Ava. She's not gonna get away with this or something. But like, thanks, would you like also, no one should want anything to do with Wendy Chu. She's horrifying. Like she is the person who she makes the Wyatt six, the Wyatt seven because she is terrifying. You know what I mean? - So it's Kendall Gray, which I also-- - Kendall Gray, there you go. - It's a different child actor feeling name. But yeah, this isn't, if you're gonna enter the ring with a mad man or a mad woman or possessed doll. - Right. - You should have, to me, you should have a reaction that is naive, which Carly Bright, based on her character, should have, I compared it to Kelly Kelly and when Karma was around for that brief, brief period of time, all too brief. It should feel like that, like horror movie innocent, whatever, or it should feel like I'm very aware of what I'm up against. And I recognize that in some way of being scared about that, right? Like of acknowledging the weight of, I'm getting in the ring with something that I don't, I can't prepare for it 'cause I don't know what I'm reckoning with here. Like this is a different thing. So it needs to either be so naive and light that you're like, ah, this girl's getting it chewed up and spit out or affected in a way. Thanks, doesn't really do a whole heck of a lot. So I'm with you on that, but this was lightning quick. - Ryan Chikini says, "Which Kendall Gray stepped up? "She's a legit amateur wrestler." No, I mean, you must be telling me the truth. I don't know if I'm doing it while you're lying, but like what, why would her persona be the same as all the ex cheerleaders? If she's a legit amateur wrestler, make that her deal. You know what I mean? Like, why would you, why would they present her? I'm saying, I'm not saying you're lying about this, but they're so bad at this. You have a legit female amateur wrestler in your locker room and you present her as a cookie cutter clone of all the former cheerleaders in the locker room. What are we doing? - I don't know, but that's really, really, really gross. - So Ethan Page comes out to cut a promo about how there's no reason why Javon Evans should be a one-on-one match with Tripp Williams at Heatwave considering that Ethan Page never lost in the battle royal. And then later that same night, he went on to pin Javon Evans. So he has a good point. And he says, "Ava come out here and change the match "and put me in it instead." And Ava's like, "Well, you really do have a big ego, blah, blah, blah." She's talking to him about how she's not going to do this. And then Sean Spears enters, and we already know because they advertised it on Twitter that he was having a one-on-one match with Tripp Williams tonight. And I was like, "Why?" Like, why would you do that? Why would he have that match? He has had nothing to do with Tripp Williams. He was part of the four-way thing at the end of last week, but he wasn't like, "This is a match you do "if you already know the Fatal World four-way is happening. "So part of the Fatal four-way is these guys, "and they'll fight each other. "It's a dumb thing that they do in WWE." But I don't know why this, anyway, Sean Spears is out here talking to Ethan Page. We have a lot in common, but we also, and Ethan, like, yes, you did beat Jevon Evans, but I beat him first two weeks ago. And Ethan Page said, "Yeah, but then he eliminated "your ass in the battle royals, so." But again, I'm looking at this going like, "Yeah, Sean Spears did beat Jevon Evans. "Why would you bookend?" Like, you have Sean Spears wins, Ethan Page wins. They both pin Jevon Evans in the middle, Jevon Evans wins a battle royale. I don't know how that's a good thing to do for Jevon Evans. Or if the end result you want to get to is Fatal four-way, Trick Williams versus Ethan Page versus Sean Spears versus Jevon Evans. I can think of about 150 different ways that are better pathways that you could use that are better to get to it than this, I don't know. - There is something that some wrestlers have, and Ethan Page is one of them. Kevin Owens is another. Eddie Kingston is certainly another. If you give me A and F, I will figure out a way to give you B, C, D, and E. Because last week I was like, "This match should be for a contendership." And the way Ethan Page spoke about it tonight, because there is something I don't like when people are able to speak artfully to compensate for bad booking or writing. But when they can, it's helpful. And I feel like Ethan Page definitely did that tonight in saying that it wasn't a contendership match, but he didn't beat him, so I should at least be there. Another thing that we have to discuss is the fashion, because Sean Spears coming out in a suit vest with matching pants, and Ethan Page coming out, and his patented fitted slacks and a half open shirt, and it's flashy, there's a lot. There was a lot of fashion wise happening pretty nice. - Mm. - Javon Evans is a young phenom, obviously. So if these three guys were all the same level, it had been here for the same length of time. I don't think I would be thinking that hard about it. He's a little too vulnerable, and a little too on a meteoric rise to do that with. I would rather Sean Spears won his way into this in some other way. Ethan Page has certainly built a foundation for him to stand on. And I feel like that win was a little different, 'cause Javon Evans had already lasted a whole battle royal before a singles match, so it's just more protected because of the timing of it. The loss to Sean Spears, you could say it's like one of the most established veterans they have on the roster versus a rookie, I guess, but it does feel kind of odd. It does feel kind of odd to do that. And it feels kind of odd to make this a four way, but we're gonna talk about that at the end of the show. - Yeah. - Love Grand Jeva, love Twitter Ava. She cracks me up, go follow her on Twitter. She's a riot. - Of course, obviously, this is interrupted by Trick Williams. - Yes. - Who says, "Sean Spears, shut your goofy ass up." Ha, what a joke there from Trick Williams. I just, I don't know. They're not doing him any favors. He's hugely over, but this is not the best way to book him since he's become champion. For a guy who lived forever in Carmelo's shadow, and then won the title from the one of the most impressive wrestlers you have on the entire payroll of all of WWE to like to do this with him. It feels like you're not really helping. But of course, this little tat-at-tat drawing match with Spears and Ethan Page leads to the two of them putting the boots to him in the quarter and of course, as soon as that starts, I'm like, and here comes John Evans on cue. There's a brawl, the baby faces stand tall, the heels want a piece of them. Like it just, everything is paint by numbers. Like it's just, there are, we have a playbook with six plays in it, and this is play number five, and we just run it. And there's no art, there's no art to it. There's no nuance. It's just a thing we do over and over again, so. - No, and I do like the segment that we get later. I will say that. Like Trick saying, "I tried the "Have it a real close friend" thing and it didn't work out so much for me. And now I want to go my own." And Jevon Evans just being like, "I get it, respect." That much I liked. But you're right, and I don't like it as a viewer that it's trope city. I can't say it's the worst idea from a developmental perspective that people get entrenched in tropes. Like there's tropes for a reason, but it does make it really boring as a viewer and you're like, "I can predict everything that's gonna happen." - Right, and also, this is me predicting that next week at some point, on the go home to heatwave, we're getting a trick in Jevon versus Sean and Ethan Page match that a tag in a can they coexist, oh wait, obviously they can't match, so. - Probably, and that'll be the second one in one week if you watch AEW, so. - Right, so that'll be good. - Hey, so, they're doing the thing that I sussed out last week. Stevie Turner and Robert Stone are vying for the top assistant position to Ava. And this, like, Ava's gonna pick me because I have done all of these things for Ava's gonna pick me because I have done all of these things for her. And no, you're dumb, no, you're dumb. You're not in it for the right reasons. Like, all of this stuff between Stevie Turner and Robert Stone, like, I, not a single solitary second should be spent on storylines like this in NXT. You have too much talent that is floundering there not doing anything. TV time is at a premium. Like, Stevie Turner can wrestle, let her do that. Robert Stone should be managing somebody good and allow him to actually see what happens when you actually give him a client that's good. Keanu Carver is out there somewhere, put him with Keanu Carver, run my storyline where Keanu Carver is smashing fools over and over again. And Robert Stone is advocating for tougher competition. Do that for a couple of months and see if Keanu Carver gets over the way that Braun Breaker got over on the main roster where everyone just wants to see him smash guys. Like, do something else because this is like so, it just feels like they are both halves of a Lindsey, Lindsey Lowen and Lindsey Lowen starring vehicle. - I don't know why you have the parent trap slander but whatever, an American classic you don't need to be tearing down. - I'm just saying, it's what this feels like. - It feels like-- - It feels like a delightful Natasha Richardson, right? What's it saying there? - It feels like a Disney Channel tween movie starring Robert Stone and Stevie Turner. - Well, NXT oftentimes feels just like that. - Yes, I agree with you and I'm saying it shouldn't. - I also agree with you on that. I also, as you say often, to what end? - Uh, because neither of them are also... Ava is young, right? Neither of them are like master manipulator in this either. They're just kind of like this competitive streak. And I'm like, are they gonna eventually seem to get like... - They're not, they can't fight each other eventually. - The best thing, yeah, this is... - Like the best thing I could possibly do is like, have each of them pick a client to have the clients face off against each other? Like, but is Stevie Turner, like has she given up on the in-ring stuff and she's gonna be a manager now? Like, I don't know what any of this is for. I don't know why Ava needs any assistants, let alone two of them bickering with each other about who's the better assistant. - She's making matches. - She definitely did. Especially because she's also have directing, taking directives from Shawn Michaels, right? So it's like, do we need a third chain of... I'm all for authority figures. A third chain of command is a little bit deep for me. I did appreciate her tagging them both in a tweet and saying, please stop yelling outside my office stuff. - Yeah, see, why is that? Like, literally have her open the door a bit. Can you please do whatever this is elsewhere? Close the door. - But it's perfect, just like, come on. - Get out of here. - Oh, here's what this is, what's gonna happen. This is stuff, there you go, evil diva. They're, oh God, they're gonna fall in love, aren't they? So, Luis says that Keanu Carver was actually hanging out with Swerve this past weekend. And based on his socials, he wants to be on TV too. Well, I think you should put him on TV 'cause I thought he was really great in that one match I saw of his. Let's see if that's TV. - That means he's TV ready for sure. - Hey, listen, you know what? Maybe he's not. I guess the only way that I'll know for sure, if he is or isn't, is if you put him on TV again. 'Cause the first and only time you put him on TV, guess what? He looked 100% TV ready to meet at that moment. Maybe y'all watch him again and be like, yeah, you know what? You were right to keep him off TV. But what I don't know, maybe, maybe back, maybe in the PC doing stuff, running drills, he's all of a sudden he can't take a flat back bump anymore. Got the Yip, she's all Chuck Knoblocked. - They, oh my God, he's gonna, he's gonna suplex Keith Oberlin's mom. So deep back for anybody who followed. I will say they've earned my trust with TV readiness via Oberfemi. - They've clearly nailed it with that dude. So I will trust them based on that. - All right. Apparently Kendall Gray via footage shared by Safa. - Our researcher, our resident researcher. - Head of research was that was shared on the SDS card. Apparently she's actually amazing and a suplex machine. And instead of being, she's being presented as the cheerleader's friend. - Hey. - So Wes Lee defeated Joe Coffey. Just lickety split. Use the issue, please, with a cardiac kick. Why did Joe Coffey pin him in that tag match? The six man tag match? Why did you have Joe Coffey do that? What was, again, to what end was to them, was to have him throw a fit via a non, captured by Anonymous last week, which about Wes Lee getting another title shot. And then you say, okay, well, if you threw a fit, how about you versus hip, but none of that had to happen at all. Like, it only had to happen because you booked him to pin him in a tag match, which never really got addressed. R.E. Wes Lee getting pinned to the tag match. You know what I mean? Oberfemi should be like, why do you think you can beat me? You cannot even, you are pinned by Joe Gacy at a six man tag. Why do you think you can best me? You cannot best me. - Well, no, I mean, nobody can. - Oberfemi's, again, in "Street Close", standing on the thing is like, good luck for this will be your first and only match against me. - He's the best. - Can they just have him on the show all the time? Just like-- - Can he just be an hour of the show? - He should be on NXT, every episode of NXT, he should be on as often as the Judgment Day is on Raw. Literally just, he should have five appearances a night, just him walking around backstage, cutting brief promos about how he is the Mountain Otherman, Otherman must climb. - He could just walk around backstage 'cause he's so cool and I would watch it like this. I liked, he had some like, some extra bass in his voice today about like, hey, you won the challenge. And I also, the Raven's Nest thing is so weird, but it looks really cool when Wesley is on the ropes and they're having like, 'cause they're not eye to eye, but there's like this very intentional shot that looked really, really cool. That match should be a ton of fun. I'm really looking forward to Oberfemi eating Wesley some more. And Wesley being, he's a great, I really like Wesley as a baby face. His comebacks in this are gonna be really like, a moment of-- - Wesley's gonna have an amazing comeback and a fantastic whole spot and he's gonna lose to Oba. - Yeah, it's gonna be great. - And then he can go to the main roster. - I would not be mad about that, but I am weary of main roster call ups because of the incredible lack of planning. - Yeah, true. They should team him with Odyssey Jones. That's a fun baby face tag team. - Oh, it is. - But they would be the next team. - Wesley and Odyssey Jones would be an amazing baby face tag. - It would have to rule. - But then they would have to come back to NXT and be a turmoil to do that. - No, no, no, you know why? Because Wesley and Odyssey Jones are gonna beat the Judgment Day for the tag titles. It just won't happen until WrestleMania. So. - I would love that dude, that would be a blast. - Yeah. Yeah, what happened to Gallis versus bouncy beef? We're still not getting that tonight. - Yeah. - So, I guess they'll do that next week. - Next week. - That's cool for the go home. I'm not mad about that. - Right. Tony DiAngelo versus Nathan Frasier. Nathan Frasier was talking to Donte Chen backstage and Donte Jones is like, hey, listen, I want to know what you know, I respect you and I'm rooting for you. And if you need me, I will absolutely be your second for the match tonight. And he's like, yeah, you know what I haven't really been able to talk to Axiom. So, if he's not available, thank you. And now Axiom does show up and he says, - Well, no, I feel a lot of this and I realize that even though we haven't seen it at all recently, that I am your tag team partner and it would be my honor to be at ringside for you during your match. You heard this club match tonight. And Donte Chen says, okay, well, just so you know. - Thank you. - This is awkward and he leaves. And so anyway, we got Nathan Frasier versus Tony D. It started out hot. Each guy got a pin fall about a minute into the first two rounds. Nathan Frasier first with like super fast running guy stuff. And Tony D with the counter to that, which is you're running really fast at me and I will pick you up putting you to a spine buster. And each guy got a pin fall right away and it was like, this is going to be a fast one. And they almost went the distance because nobody else can get a pin fall for the longest time. Round three went by, round four, round five, finally in round five. We got Tony D hitting another giant spine buster and pinning and Nathan Frasier. This was great. Best thing on the show by a landslide. This ruled, this ruled a lot. Isn't it so fun when we get to see Heritage Cup matches? And there's not just like a bunch of interfering bullshit constantly. I love as the chat knows, I love rules and I love stipulations. And I like what those rules get followed and then played with a little bit. But man, it really is funny that like Hook and Tony D, the two meme wrestlers are great. Like, how far we've come? Tony D, like when Axiom got that first pin fall at him, but his facial expressions of being so caught off guard and so not okay with it. And also, well, I have to adjust my game plan 'cause it wasn't, it wasn't the, well, I wasn't prepared for this guy thing, but it was a, I didn't know what I was in the ring with yet. So I'm going to have to make what I do work with that. Like, just his facial expressions, the way he went back to the corner, like this is gonna take some-- Like, he was really great. - I read it as Tony D'Angelo knowing how fast this guy was having watched all the film, but it's not the same when you're in the ring with him. But he did all the work, he was prepared, he scouted him, all that stuff, and it still wasn't enough. And he was pissed at himself. And so he was like, I'm not gonna let you do that again. Like, there was that moment of that, but it was, it started out as dumbass. You were ready for this, and you still, and he still didn't do it. So now I gotta change everything about all that stuff. And then in the second round, he knew what the counter was. Let him run at you. You're bigger than him. If you can turn his momentum into a spine buster, he's done. - So good. - And he did that to him twice, and that's how he won the match. Like if I can just use the, his momentum, turn it into something up, and then back down, he's done. And he did that. - It was so, I loved, I really liked all of this. I liked the one, two response at round one, rounds one and two, and I liked that the others went the distance, and then that it was a definitive win on top of it. Everything about how this was done was great. Whoever produced this, produced all the things. - Great. - And yeah, but that Tony D reaction of the recalibrating, and you're right, it was more like a pissed at myself kind of thing. Just read just perfectly, just perfectly, I loved it. And it also made it feel like Nathan Fraser didn't lose too much by losing this. Like, 'cause he's already a tag team champion, and Tony D came across as convincing, and just liked the better guy won that day. Sometimes it's all it takes. A lot of times it's all it takes. So I loved all of this from start to finish. I thought they had really fun chemistry, considering exactly what they, they are so, the epitome of the styles that they are. So it's not just like styles make match ups, it's like this guy's crazy fast, and this guy's very strong. This was, this was a blast. I loved everything to do with this. But I also love rules like a nerd. - Yeah. So I'm just, I'm looking at what we're doing with Tony D. I'm looking at like, how do we modify this so he doesn't become a laughing stock on the main roster? You know what I mean? And I just feel like just, 'cause he's, this is what's so great. He makes it work because he, when he gets serious, we believe him because he's really good at this. But the main roster audiences aren't ready to accept. I am the literal son of Amalfi Gaddan and also a wrestler and not have it be a laughing stock like it was when he first showed up in NXT. We have gotten to watch him like grow and change. He had that amazing thing with Santos. And I'm like, just have him be basically more of like a hoodlum who likes to, likes to duke it out with people. You know, as opposed to an actual Amalfi at Kingpin? I feel like there's a way to do that to make just tone it down several notches, but not his actual character, just his background. You know what I mean? Like, I own a Italian restaurant. Well, I bring all my victims to discuss how I'm gonna beat them up before I do it. He's a little, like also, we gotta get rid of the ponytail. Like a nice, like just slick back. The ponytail doesn't work. - Too far. You guys are. - Also, a good, a good four day growth of stubble. The beard's coming a little too thick to be a mafia guy, to me. You know what I mean? I love, I love that he wears the track suit when he wrestles. I think that's good. - The track suit's awesome. - But, you know. - Alex, sometimes you don't want four days of stubble, stubble on certain parts of you. You know what I mean? - Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, I think I know where you're going. - And you need the right tools for the job. That's all I'm saying. - Right. - So, Sean Rosseth is gonna tell you all about it 'cause I'm not qualified too, really. - Nobody wants to see your hairy balls, so clean 'em up. Manscaped.com and the code FIFIL is taking care of you. Maybe you're just looking at yourself and you're going, "I'm too far gone, there's nothing I can do." Manscaped's got you covered.

It was kind of like that. - Silver Apocalypse says, Miss Last Week's magic puns. So, Harry Potter and the Order of the Beth Phoenix. Chris Angel Garza. - Very nice. Luna Lovegood Vichon. - Very good. Those are all excellent. - Ian R, see this is where I hold on. Let me see if I can find the actual thing because I'm not, I can't even know how to pronounce this. Ian R says broadband big a cue. Is that spot broadband big a low? And he like, that was, is it is K-I-W a thing? Or is it like a dead a double pun? Or is that a, is that a? - K-I is next to LO on the keyboard. - So maybe that's, maybe it's just broadband big a low. - Yeah, Ian Ricabani has since corrected. - Good, okay, good. Ian R says information technology team 2000. (laughing) Ian R says black pool computer club. C. Delgado says tech or team 2000. Men on a mission Mabel and modem. - Very nice. - Tom LaValley says, hey, hachi, tanahashi, the ace of Tekken. Chris Pereira says laptop dollar. We got no one of those. - Very good. - Chris Pereira also says ethernet page. (laughing) - All ethernet, ethernet page. - Here we go. - I don't know how to do this one. Tegan Nask, cool, cool. - No, SQL is like an SQL statement. I only know that from my dad. It's a type of code. - Nask wall. - So Tegan Nask, nailed it. We crushed it. - Ian R says cocoa be software. - Meat Norma says bam, bam, broadband. - Penta L circuit board, server Strickland. - Who's? - I was gonna try. - Skirmers house. (laughing) Prince nanobites and terabyte team 2000. - Very nice. Thank you for all my tech don't team 2000s on Tucker and Punday.

(laughing) - Tona d'Anglio is very funny. - That's very good. - Domain roster from Chris Ferrara. (laughing) - To Ian R says no quarter cash crew. Like clearing your cash. (laughing) - That's true. - No quarter cash crew might be the leader in the clubhouse. That's really good. - That's really great. - Pieces says one, two, three, G-kid. (laughing) Chris Ferrara says bookmark sterling. - Very good. - Eli says Bluetooth chew, code, fightful. - That's much better than red crunch. - Chris Ferrara says firewalls of Jericho. (laughing) - Meet Norma says, hold on. - Meet Norma says code, E-roads. - Very good. - Micro soft, S-A-W-F-T, soo. - And the new day woo. (laughing) - Your father says, keep cool, gobble gool, may sound good, but it is well nigh impossible with his weather. Everything else may suck, but not the SGS, not Team K-L-X, not the council, the sisters, nor our supermod, and certainly not Mr. J.W. Pringle. - My dad is bearing the heat to come help me paint this very studio that I'm broadcasting in right now. - Wow. - So. - What are you gonna paint it? - What color? - Yeah. - I feel like I should do a big reveal. - Okay. - But it's like a kind of like peachy pink and then I'm gonna do, this is an SGS exclusive, okay. - Okay, here we go, these are the cubes. - The cubes. - I'm gonna do an accent wall like a lavender color, and then I'm gonna have two setups. So it's gonna look like I have two different studios, but really what I have is an L-shaped desk and I'm gonna have an accent studio with one. - There you go. - And then fun like peachy pink flamingoe color on the other. - Very nice, very nice. - Again, I'll have faux brick walls, Alex, okay. We're not all legends. - Yeah. - Cephas says cash wheeler, DAX hardware, Brian Paskeeth, and Hangman Adam webpage. - Those are four for four, crushed that. - Wi-Fi or funded driver? We've knocked out films. - I have been knocked out, I'm the film. I was knocked out by the film. - Okay. - Yeah, it's me, Norma, saying R.I.P. Sika. - Yeah, sad news. Happy he got to see his legacy unfold though, which is-- - Not only was he what he was, but he also was Roman Reigns' dad. Like, that's a, you know, it was kind of a cool thing to like have the whole bloodline thing be the last major deal that he got to watch before he passed. So, yeah. Okay, well, okay, I have to actually highlight this one before we get back in there. - Insert girls, Alba Firefox, and dude, you're getting a Dell, Rio. Dude, you're getting a Dell, Rio. - That's so good. - That is a knockoff, you do not want. - No, certainly not. - You thought you were getting a Dell, but you're actually getting a Dell, Rio. - No, thank you. But this one-- - Mm-hmm, yeah. - For impact tag team, the Nord, I love that. And we weren't going to give them an ad read, but darn it, when you set us up like that, what am I supposed to do, not play it?

Sucker. - That's really good. - And E.O.E.R. says Penta A.O.L. Sarah Miedo. (laughs) - Okay, so this was a pretty cool thing that they did. With the metaphor, that they've just used, they've slowly been turning them more and more babyface. I miss, of course, cements it. We get a little, the three of them backstage, FaceTiming with Noam Dar, who confirms that when Ethan Page attacked him, he really messed up my leg. Tore nearly a minute, right off the bone. So I'm gonna be out for a while. And they're like, you know, rest up. But then Oralman, so dives into a really specific, traumatic childhood of, his father was in a horrible car accident and got burned over 70% of his body or something. And he had to go to Switzerland for trap, from Nigeria. He had to go to Switzerland for treatment and brought him and his brother, I think. And they were just trying to fit in with these, because the dad couldn't care for them, because of the treatment, they had to go into foster care in Switzerland and were ostracized by the kids at local school. And he said he never felt like he fit in anywhere until he found the metaphor. And that was a really, really nice little piece of sympathy building for all of them. And it's because the reason that Oralmanza won't stop attacking Ethan Page because Ethan Page is responsible for putting out Noam Dar, who feels like that, Oralmanza feels like that's his brother. You know what I mean? And that's really well done. Like, this is all excellent. And there was a little group hug and Noam Dar saying thank you for sharing that. Like, I've missed you guys. I love you guys. I'll be back and when I am, you know, whatever. And Oralmanza's like, I'm not gonna let Ethan Page do anything until, you know, like to get my revenge on him or whatever. It feels very odd they haven't just booked a match between Oralmanza and Ethan Page. This still won't do that for some reason. But-- - It was reinforced security did nothing for Ethan Page today, but-- - No, but I thought this backstage thing was really, really well handled. - I too have never felt like I belonged until the metaphor came along, even though I'm not in it. I'm a technicality. I'm not in it. Now this was, this was really, really well done. It was nice to get, like at first, I was like, where is this going? And then for him to bring it back to the acceptance and to the metaphor being so personal to him. And that was why was, was really, really nicely done. My only complaint about this, and there's nothing that they could have done to differently is, I think it was Jacara Jackson had the phone, right? And the only way you can hold the phone when somebody's face timing with you like this is like you're a library teacher showing kids the pictures of the books. And that monologue went on so long, she just was kind of like holding the phone there like that for a really long time. Like there's nothing you can do about that, but it just kind of registered as weird. But this was really well done from Oremenza. I like that it gave us a lot, right? It gave us insight into who he is. It told us why the metaphor is so important to him and also told us why he is so continually attacking Ethan Page. So it accomplished so much at a very short amount of time. And I thought he delivered it well. I think this was all ACEs. - Yeah, this is really good. That no MDAR versus Ethan Page grudge feud when no MDAR gets healthy is gonna be excellent, with no MDAR fully baby face at the time, that'll be really good stuff. - The fashion is gonna be out of control. - Yeah, well, that's true. - I'm hoping Ethan Page's champion, like this next pay per view is in. - I mean like, then Oremenza will have failed miserably at his job. They're in a fatal four way. Everything you do to Ethan Page in that is fully legal. You could come at him with a chainsaw and they can't do anything to you. So like-- - It's true and it is very easy to get away with murder. - Chair, like, you can just stand at ringside and hit him with stuff over and over again. They can't kick you out. It's a no DQ fatal four way match. - Man, I really don't. Like if he's not gonna win in Toronto, the idea that you would bring him in to lose one on one, not protect his finisher and then have him lose in a match where the champ doesn't even have to take a pin. Kind of frickin' sucks. As a way of like bringing in your new ringer. - I'm sure Oremenza will attempt to do something to him, but it may backfire and then he will blame himself for that. You know what I mean? - Yeah, that's true. - So, it does feel like, yeah, Ethan Page winning via not pinning Trick Williams is the way to go. However, this is the HBK we're talking about. So that I feel like is the least likely scenario that we're going to see. So, Tavion Heights defeated Damon Camp. So, the stipulation is if Tavion Heights defeats Damon Camp, then Tavion Heights is also in the no quarter catch crew. Not if he beats Damon Camp and Damon Camps out and he takes his place. - Right. - So, just a Damon Camp doesn't seem like he's against the idea of getting a new guy in the thing. You know what I mean? Like, that helps us out safety and numbers and all that. It was another guy who used to run with us. I can't remember his name, but he's been gone for a while now. We should probably like replace him with another guy in the group 'cause four is better than three. So, I don't understand like that, like Vic Joseph, like he doesn't want to be seen as the weak link. So, if he loses to Tavion Heights, he'll be seen as the weak link, but like, yeah. But it's a thing that like Charlie Dempsey is making him fight Tavion Heights to because he want, Charlie Dempsey wants Tavion Heights in there. So, he wants Damon Camp to lose. The psychology of all of this doesn't quite track to me. The match was good. I think both of these guys are really fun. They go to great suplexes. Tavion Heights has been woefully underutilized. I thought it was amazing in the breakout tournament, and that's been months ago at this point. Like, I'm glad he's gonna get TV time out of this. The psychology of all of this didn't make a lot of sense. - I think there was a cleaner way of doing this that commentary could have told us, which is not so, it should have just been about if Tavion Heights proves he can hang or he wins, he's in it. Like, not the idea that like, Damon Camp would be the weak link, but like, this match is to test out what this guy's got is a perfectly acceptable story. - Sure. - Kind of maps the Biffle Combat Club, except that was like, you lost, but you bled with us, right? - Right, sure. - But like, I think there's a really simple thing to do there. The problem is the guy for that story is the guy that they have to replace. Like, the dude who would serve that role of, can this guy hang, is the guy that was the leader of it, and he thankfully, for real life reasons, is gone from the company. So, it just felt like Damon Camp doesn't have like the, the pole to be the guy that's the test for Tavion Heights. - Here's what they should have done. - Yeah. - Charlie Jones, he says, okay, Tavion, if you can hang in a handicap match versus Miles and Damon Camp for five minutes, you're in. Like, make that the test. Like, he's got to throw around two guys at once for five minutes and just not get pinned. Like that, to me, that's a test. And that's also how I feel like this kind of group would initiate people. You know what I mean? All you got to do is hang for five minutes, but you got to do it against two guys, not one. And Charlie Dempsey out there, like the king watching this whole thing. I mean, I don't know, that could be fun, but Tavion Heights wins with an amazing belly to belly. So like, I can't wait to watch him do more. - Yes. I'm looking forward to that part of it. He should be on CV. This feels like a cool thing to add to the group. - What's the next thing after heatwave? There's something in SummerSlam, or we don't have to wait all the way to Halloween Half Act from heatwave, do we? - So they don't have anything in place, but it's been kind of heavily hinted that they will. So it might be something new. - All right, whenever that is, let's build Tavion Heights to face Tony D. - Love that. - 'Cause that's just two dudes who chuck each other. - Yeah, beat the heart. - I want that. It's just a battle of suplexes. That's what I want. - Very into that idea. Very into that idea. - Maybe they do no mercy. - Maybe they do half mercy and John Stamos hope. - It's John Stamos. It's just, it's John Stamos is the host, and he twerks the whole time. Just Uncle Jesse Twerken. - Poor the best. - Would you defend the pawns, but I would have full house fund all. - Yeah, yeah. - This is one, this is it. From this is Ramo Gargano Netscape. The Gargano Netscape is impossible to get out of or to connect to. - Ooh, that was a bit of water come out my nose. - Yeah. Okay. - You guys rule. - Britney Reese, again, an hour and a half after her boys lost in two minutes. It's like, you guys get such a great job. It's weird that you haven't gone to the showers yet 'cause it was 90 minutes ago that you guys lost, but okay. - You're so bad. - I'm so proud of you guys for lasting almost three minutes. I'm so proud of you guys. And they're like, you know. - If you need to last more than three minutes, not redcrunch.com co-fighter, but I don't have that as an hybrid, but you guys know where I'm going. Then Izzy Dame shows up and it's like. - Oh yeah, you're so positive. How would that guy, would that ever get you? These guys are too afraid to tell you, but I will. They don't want you around anymore 'cause all you do is fill their heads with positivity nonsense and then it doesn't pan out for them and they feel extra bad about themselves. And this is where Tatum Paxtley slowly creeps up in the window behind her. And Izzy Dame apparently has eyes in the back of her head and goes smack to the window and Tatum actually falls over. And but then she finishes out a little deal and Brittany, she's like, "You guys don't actually think that, do you?" Malik plays like, "No, of course not." And it is in the face like, no comment. - Little bit, she kind of points. It feels like they're lining up Izzy Dame to fill the Blair-Davenport role that is now left. Like that feels very much like her character was Izzy has the size and the strength that Blair-Davenport has, which I don't hate for her. That gives her a nice personality that is distinct in a sea of blondes with wavy hair. So that's good. And it also kind of translates nicely because she was the heavy of someone who's now on the main roster. Like her just kind of stepping further into that role, I think is a good fit for her. The Tatum stuff got me. I'm not gonna lie. That popped me tremendously 'cause it was timed really well. And sometimes you can just feel when someone creepy is there. You give them the old Helga, "Hey Arnold, Slap." I don't. Brinley and D.A.L. need to find out they were long lost sisters. This was like, it's so similar, man. It's way too much of the exact same energy. But make them the hype gels. Remember the hype bros? They could be a tag team called the hype gels. - Yeah, no. Yes, I think they could. Also, I think that once they find out that they are long lost siblings via a DNA DNA test, I have their perfect tag team name, which is 23 and me. So it's just, we just do this column that. And somehow, for some reason, Robert Stone has the great idea. We'll give all of our superstars DNA tests to prove they're not the person who committed murder. - To clear them up the crime in the parking lot. - To clear them up the crime in the parking lot. Everyone takes a DNA test. And the DNA test comes back and shows the Thea Hale and Brinley Reese are long lost sisters. Perfect. - I'm in. - They brought out, so Duke Hudson and Ridge Holland are talking. And the smallest, nerdiest fellow in the entire world comes out and goes, "Hey Duke, "you are looking for these pictures "from your match last week." - And I don't know, like why did you pick that guy with that voice with the glasses? And he says, "Yes." - Little dweeb's need jobs too, Alex. - Okay. Everybody has a place in this world. - Your job in that particular scene is to be inconspicuous. Not to be like, "I need a whole backstory of that guy. "Why was he not part of the crew on Big Bang Theory?" Anyway, he hands-- - I just still put it in for me. - There you go. He gives Duke Hudson a Manila envelope that he reaches into and he's gonna put photos out and instead of Ridge being like, "What are you doing?" He goes, "No, you don't wanna see those, mate. "Just let it go. "You don't need to see those photos." And then he steals them from Duke as all the rest of Chase U runs in and hides them behind his back. So like, how many weeks are you going to make us wait to officially find out the thing that I spotted during the match, which is that Ridge Holland, when the camera wasn't on him, was holding Duke Hudson so he could get a leverage on a rollup. Like, how is that a smoking gun? You know what I mean? Like, we already saw him also do something kind of underhanded this time, spoiler alert. They're probably gonna win the tag team titles at Heatwave via Ridge Holland blatantly cheating. So like, it's gonna be this, it's all this is, it's gonna prove that Duke knew ahead of time. - Why do you need photos in a Manila album? This is the same show. - I know, I don't like, we need, we need photographic, still evidence. - Was, but dude. - Like, just go back and watch the match and just like pause and then watch in slow motion. I guess because like the adjective, not adjective, the angle of the camera isn't conclusive, then they have still shots from a different angle that prove whatever, but like, I don't know. - You saw it in real time. (laughing) - This is like, this is like 15, 20 years ago where like on the sidelines, they would give quarterbacks, like developed photos and now they just give them an iPad. You know what I mean? Or a Microsoft Surface Pro sponsored by Microsoft. - Sure. - Like, they give them that to look at because it's a lot better than fucking photos that they developed. You know what I mean? - Yeah, that's, I'm just gonna say. - Especially on a night when Carmen was watching tape on an iPad. - This footage show. - For Kate's full house puns. Gia cities. - Alex would never get it. 'Cause he doesn't know shit about Gia. - I don't, I don't know, she doesn't. I don't know what it's saying. She's a bad girl. Her home life was stressful though, it's a whole thing. - Yeah. So the blurry boys are backstage and Axiom is like, hey, you did really good. I'm sorry you didn't win, but you were this close. Don't worry, we're gonna win the tag titles at, you know, on the heat wave. And now they're on the same page. So like, all of this was to just like, I don't know exactly what, maybe it's because he's, maybe because Nathan Frazier's going after the speed title. Like what is, what is going to be the thing that further drives a wedge between them? Because like the idea that like Axiom and Nathan Frazier are almost at a breaking point because Nathan Frazier isn't taking the tag team titles seriously enough. You can't resolve that storyline two weeks before they have the title match. That doesn't make any sense. You know what I mean? Otherwise don't do the story. - Yeah, there'll probably be some other lack of focus, right? - I don't know. So Ariana Venti had a match versus Seoul and because Ariana Venti is from the Toronto area, I just assumed she was going to win via some kind of, a chicanery and then get her title match there. And Kalani was going to win because Kalani would beat her 'cause she's better than, but the match would be fun, I guess, with all of Ariana Venti's antics and stuff and the build for it will be fun and whatever. And I guess I assumed that A, because of the Canadian thing, but also B, because of the heel face dynamic. And also because, Seoul Ruka should have won the title in the ladder match. I mean, again, I said that at the time, if you're gonna have a babyface win the tag title, I mean, the North American title, you just have the Seoul Ruka do it. Why have Kalani do it? And to have like Kalani win it and then her first real challenger be Seoul Ruka, the woman who probably should have won it first anyway, like you can't have Seoul Ruka beat Kalani Jordan this early. It's a huge admission that you screwed up and you can't do that. You have to book through that screw up. If you had a heel like Lola Weiss beat Kalani Jordan for it, then you could have the Kalani Jordan trying to work her way back to a title match and get it back. And that's where we see the character growth at all that stuff. You could do that. But to have another babyface who's on good terms with Kalani Jordan, who probably should be in the position that Kalani Jordan is currently in anyway, beat her for the title in her first title. This doesn't make a lot of sense. And also like, I don't know what it's just, Seoul Ruka and Kalani Jordan will be a really fun match with no heat involved because they're just gonna be doing really cool acrobatic moves with no animosity. - Yes, I'm wondering if this turns into a triple threat next week with Miss Venti. This unfortunately was-- - She lost pretty conclusively tonight. It'd be weird if they were like, are you lost in a number one contenders match to Seoul Ruka? She just beat you straight up. But yeah, you can be in the triple threat. That would be really weird for them to do that. I would prefer that match. - But Alex, yes, it would be weird. What show were we talking about? - I mean, yeah. - This was unfortunately not like the best showing for Ariana Grace, not the worst. But I think we've seen her have a couple of stronger matches, but that's fine. She's very new at this. She's great at the character aspect that Nring is gonna come along. She was also in there with Seoul Ruka who is still early in her career as opposed to like ring general status, right? So, but that's fine. She's very, very good at the character side of this. - Yeah. - Seoul Ruka is break out star whatever level right now. Like she's really, really got this and she's really grown from Surfer Girl with a cool finisher to like really getting towards the full package with a lot of this stuff. And it makes you really happy to see it would be less like Roxanne and Lola Vice are different enough heels that you can do heel on heel. Kalani and Seoul are not different enough faces and Kalani is so unestablished from a character side of it that having Seoul be the thing that you're contrasting against doesn't really work. - Right. - So I am with you on that. I am with you on that. We will see if they do anything to switch it up next week. I like that they're more open to the idea of faces and heels being facing each other because it's a wrestling is a much more fun world in my opinion. If you have shades of gray and some stuff like, I like right now that we don't know if your neck tire or CM Punk is the face of the heel, right? - Yeah, but that's the story of being told well. This isn't even a story. - Yeah, Kalani doesn't have any. - Kalani wants to defend her title as often as possible and thinks Seoul Rooka deserves a title shot because she's so nice to her. - Yeah, and isn't dramatic. - It isn't dramatic. - You're the first champion of this. Like hopefully there's like a go home segment where she's like, I like you, but like once we get in there. - Right. - It's not gonna be all cute and fun and games. Like she needs one of those desperately. - There's a whole bunch of people like Jada Parker, I feel like would have a really great match with Kalani Jordan and that's an easy way to build to it. Again, like maybe the reason that they do everything that's so trophy and obvious is because they can't figure out ways of doing things with shades of gray as evidenced by whatever this is with Seoul and in Kalani where it's just like, you won and here I come out to hold your hand up with my title. We are tag team type. Oh, wait, no, we're facing each other. Like it just, I just, I don't know. It just doesn't quite work. I'm like, Carvalo, I don't know man. I'm kind of tired of them taking obvious great baby faces not knowing what to do with them as a baby face and then saying, why don't you turn heel? - The cop out. - Kalani Jordan turning heel is a huge cop out. Like you don't know how to, how to create her character in a way that like makes her sympathetic. Like she's really great in the ring. All you gotta do is make her stand out and as a baby face in some way. What's her, what's her hook as a baby face? You've given her none of that. Let's just make her mean to people instead is not the way to go. - And she's so likable. Like she's so likable. - She sure is, but like, yeah. - Give us a reason to, yeah. - Yeah, in a very generic way. Now also, Seoul Ruka was not helped in this by Vic Joseph saying like, oh, maybe those nerves about being this number one contenders match. I've got her slipping all over the ring ropes. Either the ring ropes are slippery or her feet or her shoes were slippery. It was not because of nerves. - Nerves, yeah. - They were weird. So, you know, hey, you know, also, who else would be really great in a match with Kalani as heels, either Fallon Henley or J.C. Jane. And I like this little thing there teasing of like, of course, the girls who've been around for years getting passed over by the rookies. And I'm like, that's cool. - That's good. - You do realize that you're running buddy is the ruckiest rookie that's ever ruckied? Like Jasmine Nix just being there like, "Hey, are we disparaging me?" Or am I like, I guess you can't really be grandfathered in. Granddaughter, I'm granddaughtered in. I'm the only cool young one around, is that good? But they were talking smack about all the things. And it, Fallon? Like if you told Fallon and Kalani had beef when Fallon turned heel. I felt to me coming out of this that there was a, if you told me who's the number, who's the first person to challenge seriously for Kalani Jordan, I probably would have said Jada Parker because she's Jada Parker. But I probably would have said Fallon Henley because she's got all that history with Kalani. - And she's a heel and like, you know what I mean? - And you just figured it out. We're gonna get a non-finish Fallon Henley and J.C. Jada are gonna come beat them down. We're gonna get a tag program out of it. It's gonna be newbies versus the heel veterans of NXT. - Yeah. - I bet that's why that's going. - I feel like Izzy Dame should join up with them. - That'd be a really fun group. - Like that's, that's a good, Jasmine Nix kind of like the, you know, the, I don't know, the hot one. I don't know what, she also kicks a lot. But J.C. Jada and Fallon Henley is leaders and Izzy Dame is the heavy. That's a really good faction. You know what I mean? I like that a lot. So Sean Spears had a match, a non-title match with Trick Williams because we just have to have matches on the show, I guess. The NXT champion should be having matches that mean something and this feels like a thing you did to get to this ending, which was a bad idea. The match is happening. Ethan Page is at ringside for it on commentary and he's attacked by Oromensa with a huge lapse in security. And then they fight all the way to the back and they're gone. And then later, the beach is at ringside that nobody can like mention him by name. Like there, if we weren't watching it and you didn't hear like hubbub, you would have no idea what was going on. Like they're not meant like, oh, somebody had, they didn't say somebody at ringside. They just said like, nothing. As he's being held back by all the security and he reaches over and grabs Vic Joseph's bowl of candy and throws it everywhere. Swedish fish all over the place. And then he takes the little weird cowl thing on top of it, grabs that and swings it wildly, hitting Trick Williams, who's at ringside in the face with quarter inch plastic. - No! - And knocking him silly. And then Sean Spears rolls him in the ring, hits the C4 and pins him. Like this is eerily similar to what you did to Lyra Valkuria. I mean, hopefully Sean Spears doesn't blow out his knee. And so you have no way to capitalize on that ridiculous decision to pin a fairly new world champion on your show in a non title match, but they did it anyway. Like the beach, like also being a guy that you're not allowed to name that is like not at in K-Fabe isn't signed to the company anymore. Like I don't, again, to what end? Like is this going to lead to Brooks Jensen getting a title match? Like he, I thought it was so heavily implied he was just going to go to TNA for a few months. And then come back, it was like a really easy thing to do. And it's such an odd thing, you know? Like, yeah, it was just very chaotic at the end. Shout out to Ethan Page on commentary calling Booker a bozo. Anytime someone gets called a bozo, I'm in just a funny thing to call somebody. Or a manta is obsessed with Ethan Page. Your security team did not do a very good job here. And that happening with our precious beach and it's just too chaotic. It was way, way, way, way, way too much. And Sean Spears is a damn fine wrestler. He really is like, I didn't get to see any of this match I felt like. I couldn't focus because of very, very chaotic, which is a bummer. Trick feels like, he's super over whenever he comes out. So I don't mean this from like his capabilities perspective. He just does not feel that important on his own show right now. Like, if you ask me who feels more important, like Ethan Page does over them, he does. Like, he's the champ. They need to build him programs where he feels like the focal point of it. But his title runs so far has been like candy jokes with Flash Legends. And you know what I mean? Like, there has not been anything that they've given him that has made him feel like a champion. So they've really got to figure out how to book baby faith champions 'cause they just, other than Carmelo, it's something that they really struggle with. They really struggle with it. So, there's no acknowledgement, again, of what happened with the beach doing the thing he did. When they cut back to Ava, like, quite a dilemma here, says Ava. And of course her two assistant GMs are with her and like, well, what are you gonna do? I mean, Sean Spears just pinned Trick Williams. Yes, but Ethan Page pinned Jevon Evans. Yeah, but Sean Spears pinned him before that. I don't know what we're gonna do. And then Ava's like, I've got it. Lightning has just struck my brain. I've had an apostrophe. - An apostrophe. - We're gonna do a fatal four-way and heat wave. Trick Williams, we're receiving Page versus Sean Spears versus Jevon Evans. Like, oh, masterful stroke of genius loss. - Manifested, should just manifest of that. The last shot of last week told you, if they had flashed it up on the screen, the main event of heat wave will be a fatal four-way between these four guys. It would not have told you any more than that last image did last week. Like, I don't. - Yeah, but they have to make it official. Well, you have to do the work to make the matches. - You do have to do the work to make the matches, but I don't feel like it does Ava any favors to be like, I am so smart. I had this idea no one's ever had before. And I'm like, no, you're not. Like, it's like, this is what I was afraid of. I didn't wanna have to make this match, but I see no other alternative. It's gonna be a fatal four-way. I've been thinking about it all night and I see no other alternative as opposed to, wow, I just had the best idea no one's ever thought of before. Like, you telegraphed it literally for the all of tonight and at the end of last week. We all knew it was gonna happen. - I think part of it was like that had to, it's because you've built out this Stevie Robert Stone thing, right? So it like has to satisfy that as a piece of it. So I thought it was part like, hey, I've had this great idea in part, hey, shut the hell up. - Right. - I'll make this match so that you guys will both back off. What's kind of how I interpreted it. But when she's getting more comfortable in the role too, which I'm happy about, her personality is showing through a little bit more. This being the thing that closed the show was a little weird, a little weird. Our beloved beach definitely does feel like that once you said like, it felt like Pelman Jr. Lexus King passed on the loose can of thing. And he was like, I'll take that. Thank you. It definitely feels like that's the direction they're going with it. He should be getting called Pat Buchanan now. I believe it was his, his shoot name or the name that they're rolling with here. I think it's kind of cool, it's NXT. So this is tricky. I think it's cool when you do angles that are for the live crowd only and they kind of seep onto the broadcast. But when you're in a venue like that, it doesn't quite hit the same way like a full-size arena would. So I think it was just a little awkward. And then on top of that, you just had so much going on with Ormanza and Ethan Page and the finish of the match. Like it was, it just got very crowded, very crowded at the end of August. So they had a battle royal that was like, oh, look at all of the talent we're going to bring in from different locker rooms. And they brought in Joe Henry for five seconds. And he did his, his entrance, which has like six million views. - Crazy interviews, yeah. - And then they hadn't kicked out and they haven't followed up on that at all, and not in any way, shape or form. So a plus job there. Like when anything gets any traction on social media, they like trumpet it on the following episode, they didn't do any of that with us. So that's great. And they had the whole battle royal and Jevon Evans won it. And that's basically been rendered like inert. Like I guess we have to have Jevon Evans in it 'cause he did win that battle royal technically. But then you know, he got pinned by a couple of people. So like the match will be fun with all of these four guys in it. It'll be a really good match. But like what a dumb way to get there. Also just have Joe Henry win the battle royal and do Joe Henry versus Rick Williams. You already did Roxanne versus Jordan Grace. And the thing of it is you don't have to worry about any of the weird stuff about like pinning a champion from the other place 'cause Joe Henry's not a champion over there. So you just have Joe Henry versus Rick Williams. You build it out over several weeks. Everyone wants to see it because everyone likes the Joe Henry guy. Trick Williams beats Joe Henry. It's a good match, but he beats Joe Henry. (claps) Trick Williams looks great as opposed to having to have him lose get pinned by Sean Spears the 10 days before the friggin title defense. And then Jevon Evans losing two matches in three weeks. That's the way that you book Ethan Page in his first match where his finisher gets kicked out of it and loses clean, like all of this stuff. They just somehow may be picking the path of, well I was gonna say least resistance, but like the obviously good path. Joe Henry super over. - And everybody. - Let's figure out a way to put him in the show. - To your point, everybody is now limping going into this because I don't think anyone thinks Sean Spears is winning. Trick just got pinned. Ethan Page, whilst talking a good game and beating Jevon Evans, that first showing like they kicked out of his finisher and Jevon Evans lost two matches going into this. So in a Met trial for him, I should look strong. You don't have nobody really looking all that strong. Joe Henry, I think will probably come out after that fatal four way. I think we will be getting a sexy boy parody at some point. That's the only thing I could think of. But he's also said he'll show up on any brand, but it does feel like it's so weird to me still that they had Frankie Kazarian, God bless Kaz, he's great. Have this like very strong showing and being such a focal point of it. And you have Joe Henry getting kicked out so early to half justify it on social media with like, did HBK tell everybody to get up on me think was very, very odd. Very, very, very odd. It feels like they don't believe Joe Henry, but we do. - Luis saying that he actually thinks that Beige threw Sour Patch Kids at Fick, which is objectively funny since, 'cause they're a heat-tagged me in the Instagram post all those days ago. Thanks, you know what I mean? - All right, more puns. Me, Norma says, Oba Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi? Oba Wi-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep-wep.
