Wait till right now it gets ready for presentation. Listen control, I'm god a man or SI Control made be made. Listen control, I'm got a mond or sin Control made me. What is it good? Wt f W parkcast here on d w W podcast. You need to follow us anywhere.

Swoop us up, check us out, peep us up at Those words don't even make sense, but I don't care, but check us out on Twitter, Instagram and the TikTok at wt f W showrash Yeah it's your boy, it's con yay Twitter, and I got my I got my cabs, you know, ahead and say people, yeah you already knowing the mean, lying in the building, ready to do it in the building. Were back. Uh man, what a great We're a great uh start to the to the new season that we've had so far. You know, the interviews with Druxxel

that was amazing. Um, the interview with referee Brad Lee was amazing. Coming up here in a few weeks, we got interviews with Ev the official ring announcer from Prestige Wrestling. But we also got some big news. We got some big news. I mean, it's fire, it's fire, basically put it in a nutshell. We have now become the official podcast ringside podcast of TPW Wrestling Timber Pro Wrestling. We'll be making our debut our Bay thirteenth

and Everett, Washington. I'm excited. I'm excited. Uh, shout out, shout out to brad Man. Yeah. Absolute. I mean, it was a great honor to be asked to be a part of it. And uh, I mean that's what we're here for, you know. I mean today we're gonna we're gonna go ahead and just like dive into you know,

the WWE draft. But you know, our main focus in one things that we're really trying to do is cover them independence from prestige, doa impact, you know, all the local territories out here on the West Coast, and it will spread out as far as we can. But I mean that's all coming up. We gotta we we got a quick fire trash list, like we're gonna go from one all the way to the end, uh on your WWE draft. Uh you know, Um, I mean but first thing's first, you know, you know, I mean, what do you think of

the brand new World Heavyweight title that is now on raw? Um? I think it's awesome. I think uh you know, for the most part, it's fire. I just uh, I don't see. I'm still kind of confused on why they can't separate the titles. You know, like it's been so long that they've had all of the titles unified, quote unquote, and it's like, you already have these titles, why not utilize them? You know, that's it just doesn't make sense to me to have two titles on

one person when you can just separate them the way they were before. The draft was a perfect opportunity to do that. So and you know, like we'll get to it, but like there's a lot of title uh nonsense going on. There's a lot of title confusion going on. Um, and we'll get to that with the picks. But hey, I mean, let's let's just let's start off with let the first one's easy. First one's easy. Number one pick going from SmackDown and staying on SmackDown, Roman Rains Solo Sakoa,

Paul Hayman. That's fired. I'm like, good, you know the Bloodline needs to stay at SmackDown for sure, Yes, all right, you know, And then on number two pick, staying on Raw officially, mister Cody Rose, I think that's fired because it's separated them. And you know, I don't know. We were talking about it before we started recording a

about how you know Cody's the main man for the next title. I feel like he's he has Then they dropped the ball with Sammy Zane, so I think, I don't know, I see big things in the future for Cody staying on Raw. So I think it too fire, absolute fire, uh,

you know. And then but then we get to the confusion, the confusion h Bianca bel Laire moves from SmackDown to Rang and they even messed up this even more because Bianca bel Laire was on a tour and she did a video package and in the video package, he kept referring to herself as the SmackDown Women's Champion, And I'm like, wait a minute, Like Ria hasn't

even been moved anywhere yet. You just went SmackDown. Somebody flubbed and gave her the wrong script, and that really kind of blew it right there. That's hold us right then and there, that real Ripley later on was going to be going to Raw and they're gonna do like the only thing they can do is that corny corny thing where they take the two superstars, put them in the ring, and the trade trade trade titles. Yeah, I mean

they've done it before. Yeah, that's definitely trash. I agree. That puts Bianco Bellar's move to raw, in my opinion, trash track, trash, trash. Next up, you got Becky Lynch staying on raw. Fire. That's a good move. That's a good move, agreed. Uh, followed by the Street Prophets. I'm so happy about this. Uh, the Street Prophets did not get split up. I'm happy about that. And they

both go from SmackDown to raw. I agree, Fire, there's no point in breaking up the Street prop it's I mean, unless you're gonna push montez Ford into that solo category. Um, keep them together. They they they the crowd and the fans love the street profits. So fire fire, absolute fire. Okay, Well let's go the next one. Uh, Imperium, Giovanni Vici and Ludwin Kaiser go from raw to SmackDown, thus taking the Intercontinental

Championship from raw to SmackDown. Fire Fire. I'm with it. Um. I've said before, I don't think I don't think it really matters where Gunther is that man is a force to be reckoned with. So don't matter where he's at, he's gonna make big moves right right, you know, and you'll follow that up. Uh the rated art superstar himself moves from SmackDown to Raw. I'm okay, um yeah, Edge going to suit to uh Edge going to raw. It's uh fine with me. It's fine with me.

It's fine with me. You got Matt Riddles staying on Raw. Uh gotta admit, kind of a lunchable for me, just because I just I'm not invested right now. There's no Randy Uh he's he's he's you know, doesn't doesn't have any RK bro stuff going on. So I mean, I'm just really like, I'm excited to see I mean, he's I think he's he's on a good trajectory right now to uh make some waves. So I'm excited

to see what Ridal can do. I mean, he's a beast. A lot of people, you know, uh don't give him the credit that he's due, but I mean he could stand toe to toe with most anybody in that ring. So I mean I agree there. That's just all I'm saying is give me, give me a reason give me a reason right now, I don't have a reason, So I mean that's just me. That's just me. Uh. You know. After that, you know, we got Bobby Lashley going from SmackDown, uh to raw lunchable, lunchable, lunchable.

I'm with it. Drew McIntire going from raw to SmackDown, um fire, Drew can go anywhere, and I'm down final. I mean, I guess I'm still lunchable mode because I mean, I don't know what they're doing with Drew. Well, you know what I mean, you know, I mean I foresee I foresee Drew making some moves so he can you can put him up against any of the greats. I mean, he's a good option to battle against Death, Cody Roman in rock. You could put him in the

ring with anybody and he'll he'll make a good match. So right, it's I think it's a good move. After that, the OC in their entirety go from SmackDown to raw um lugiable for me, lugable. You know what, I'm with it because I don't know. Again, I don't know what's going on. Yeah, you know, but I do like the new, the harder that the he'll uh, the elements that they're angels. I'm waiting

to see what happens. I'm waiting to see what happens. Ye give me something to invest in, you know, right, the miss the misses sting a raw Yeah, un lunchable damage control didn't I get split up? And they moved from SmackDown do raw? Um, that's fire. I think. I think any any way that you could put Bailey on the same roster as as the Man so that they can battle it whenever is good with me. Man there, That's where I'm at. You know, I want I want

Bailey and Betty still. Yeah, me too. I think that will be a rivalry that can can uh it transcends time, you know, it will withstand all all of anything, and they can battle it out constantly, and I wouldn't be mad at it. Um. Next up, you know, the returning Shinska knock out Mura moves from Raw to SmackDown. Um. I don't know. I liked him on SmackDown. I think he'd fit in there, but UM's you know, he's he's also one that can can make it

anywhere. You know, I see him as a possible uh uh speed bump from Roman. It's an easy one. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And then this is what I'm really excited about, um and it's something that I was really excited about in its entirety. The final two picks, they took Alba Fire, The Raining, the Raining and XT Tag Team Women's Champions, Alba Fire and and I Lived On. They took them from NXT to SmackDown. And then they took Indie Heartwell in Indie Heartwell, I don't know

if you've seen it, it was a heartwarming moment. NXT this week ended with with her in the ring. She's finally gotten that title, and as soon as she got the title, she's actually dealing with the injury. But she finally gets put to the main roster and you know, like a spoiler, you know, Paul him and spoiler the entire the entire group, the

way is all on Monday Night Raw. You have Indie Heartwealth, Yeah, Dexter Loomis, you have candas Lay, ye have Johnny Gargano, and you have Austin Theory, the original group that just made so much waves a NXT. Now they're all on the same brand. Fires. It's the new It's the new waves, man, It's what we've been it's what it's what we've been expecting from NXT and WW for the long time. These people, especially Indie, she's been on the she should have been put on the main roster

a long time ago. So it's good for her. Grats to Indie Hartwell, and she's taking the right As of right now, they have the titles exactly Indie Indian Indie has really quished it. But right now Alba fired and I La Donna they have the tag titles and as it sits right now, they had a match with UH with with another couple that I will talk about later, but they retained and so as it stands right now, the only tag team, you know, women's champions in NXT are now taking it to

SmackDown as it sits right now. So I'm I like the mixt up. I love it. Give the reason for NXT UH superstars to guess spot on the main roster to fight for him and then they could take him back home. Yeah all right, but then you know that was the end of the

rounds of a SmackDown. But the supplemental draft you had, you know, let's just I'm just gonna give me your quick fire trash a lunchable on these We're just gonna do it that way with the supplemental all right, Viking Raiders go from raw to SmackDown trash trash trash Dexter Loomis, like I said, he is now on raw. He has been on RAB, but he's staying on raw, as well as Candice Lay both staying on raw. So we have the way that's fire fire, the maximum male models of Marseille Monsieur and

Maxine Duprie or staying on raw lunchable. I don't care. It's literally lunchable. Yeah, it may be the worst lunchable in the world. Like I literally could care. Let I have not watched one segment, one promo or anything with these guys. None. They've never wanted me a reason to invest. And yeah that you have three people. The next three are all all from NXT, one of them returning from NXT, but three superstars from NXT all go to raw. Zoe Stark, j D McDonough and Apollo Cruise.

I'm okay, all right, you know, give me some fresh blood. Yeah, that's cool with me. I mean we've seen what a Paulo can do. You know, they're mostly from the main Rockster last year, but she got injured for eight months. Yeah yeah, and then, uh, the next one I know is your personal favorite. I bet you could get real excited. Movie from Monday Night Raw the Friday and I SmackDown Natalia oh Man, Lunchable break again. I mean, good for her for sticking around

and putting all these people over. I mean, she's a legend in her own right. But you know, yeah, well there's really I mean, there's nothing there. There's nothing there. It's the Italiya. She can be anywhere and she'll just be alignsible everywhere she goes. Uh, Chelsea Green Sony Deville go from rob to SmackDown a legit women's tag team. That's I'm too death. Yeah, I'm fine with it, but I'm just curious. You know, the big thing that we've been talking about for months now is the

the character development and the creative storyline for the women's side of wrestling. And as long as they have plans for them, you know, otherwise, what's the point in moving them right? Right? And then the final uh superstar in the supplemental draft, And I gotta be honest, I don't even know why they even like mentioned it because it don't matter. Ain't nobody cared. I've been to so many live events, ain't nobody. I don't know one

person that gives two anythings about this one. Lacy Evans is staying on SmackDown. Yeah, they I mean they seriously dropped the ball with Lacy. I mean, she in her own right, is you know, one of those that can stand up in the ring with a lot of these girls, and they've done nothing with her. No, No, it's like Ziallee like yours hey, you right, you're right, you're right, and set up these elaborate promos and such good storytelling to get them introduced to the fans, and

then just dropped the ball completely with these people. So um, again that's you know, trash on creative part much pretty much trash. Uh And then uh but you know that was the that was day one. Uh, Day two started off. You know, I mean we already knew this one. Briar ripley uh is uh is staying on raw um, but she's the current SmackDown Women's champion, So that that that just makes it trash. I mean that just makes it trash to me. Some moving to ros SmackDown. Yeah,

she was already on Raw. No, she was a SmackDown's over there won the title, but that was it. But she won the title because she got the two who she thought, Yeah, yeah, I'm winning the Royal Rubble. But she was already on the yeah at theory those from moves from SmackDown too Raw. So there you go. You got to United States Championship on Raw, the Intercontinental on on SmackDown Fire. And and like I said, that gives you the complete the way in one brand. Yeah,

it only makes sense, you know. So let's see in the next up, Steth rollins the vision every evolutionary. He stays on Raw, and I think that's good because he's one that needs to take a shot at at that title, at that new title. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be you know. That's why. You know, it's good to have a superstar like like Seth on any of your promotions, you know, so he can do good anywhere he goes and keep over there with mister Cody Rhodes exactly. Yeah.

Charlotte Flair staying on SmackDown Lunchable, Lunchable. We knew she wasn't going anywhere, right, Kevin Owens, Sammy zane Um staying on Raw and keeping the tag to the tag titles there. That's fine to me because speaking it away from blood Line as much as they can, I like it. Because the very next pick was the USO's thing on smack Now, which separates those two teams, and that's what I want. Yeah, yeah, kill that storyline. It's done. Yeah, WrestleMania, Like you can't talk that moment.

Yeah. And one thing that WWE has done a lot recently is focus on the Bloodline on either promotion. And uh, don't get me wrong, Like you know, USO's are one of my favorite, if not my my most favorite tag team of all time. So you know, I love the Bloodline, but there's so many more directions they can go without having to milk that for all its worth, you know. So right, and now the Bloodline is is on smack Down period the Judgment Day staying on Raw, which

keeps the Judgment Day complete. Uh, and that's actually it's actually interesting that they drafted the Judgment Day as Finn Damien and Dominant, and they drafted rear Ripped separately. Yeah. Lwo Ravens Stereo and the whole Cruise sound Tosascobar's Lena Vega Cruise Del Toro and Joaukee Wild. They're staying on SmackDown, separating them from Dominic. I love it, I love it, I love it. Fire Live Morgan Raquel Rodriguez moved from Raw to SmackDown as the current women's tag

team champions. Um, it's unfortunate, but it's eligible the whole Yeah, I mean the women's division is just still in shambles right now, and you know I need I need a bigger reason to invest, So for right now, it's eligible. Don't get me wrong. I love I love them both, but unfortunately it goes right into the next pick the same thing, Oscar SmackDown to Raw another drop ball. I agree, New Day goes from Raw to SmackDown to join the next pick, the brawling brutes on SmackDown. Fire.

I like Tris Stratus staying on Raw actually being drafted Fire Trash, he said, trash. I'm actually uh. I thought at WrestleMania that Trish did really well. I was actually super surprised at her her skill level and ability still as I haven't seen her do anything for a decade probably, and um, you know, she dropped the ball. Then that the following week, m Idols and all that, but that was also I felt like that was a scrambled match that she wasn't quite ready for. So I'm not quite sure.

I'm not giving her all the credit, you know, but uh, I'm excited to see what she can do if she actually puts all of her effort into this. So we'll see. Well, I'm gonna let im gonna I'm gonna give her some time. But uh, you know, next step you carry across, Ronda Rowsy and Shana Basler all going to SmackDown that's a lunchable, lunchable both. Yep, it's almost borderline trash. La Knight stays on SmackDown Fire. I don't care where he's at. La Night. What

what l A Night? I mean, he's not like he's ripping asing off from Britt Baker, but I'll leave that alone. Uh. Bron stroman Ricochet one of the newest, most excited tag teams in the biz, moving from Raw the SmackDown where they confused with the oozzos Um. I don't know, it's all right. I feel like they're one of the better tag teams in the in the WW right now, so I would have I wouldn't have mind seeing them stick around on Raw to battle it out with Sammy and and Ko.

But uh, you know, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. Uh, next one, I can already tell. I'm gonna guess. Next one's a complete lunchable break Shops staying on SmackDown, Yeah, who cares? Bronson Reed staying on Raw? Who cares? Uh? Pretty deadly moving from NXT to smack Down. I'm actually excited to see what they can do on the main roster um. They're act. It's like they're good in

the ring. They really are. I just cannot there. I can't either their gimmicks, So it's such a an act cliche, like it almost pokes fun. Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's a pandering, you know, And I'm you know, if it was, if it was legit and unbelievable, I'd be behind it. But it's just now at this point, it's just kind of too gimmicky. So right, alph Academy shoots, please shoot

that gable. Otis staying on Monday Night Raw, where commediately some of male models are So the storyline with otis maybe splitting finally, which actually is kind of funny. I'm I'm I'm a little with it, but they're staying on Raw. Yeah, that's fine. That's fire, Rick Booms going from SmackDown to Raw. Um, yeah, fire, fire, it's fire if they fire, if they actually do something with him. Now, well they were I mean he was yeah, I mean before he got injured, the man

was on a skyrocket trajectory. You know. That's why, that's why, that's why it's fired. To me, the Shinskates on Raw, now, I feel like they can totally put that tag team back together. I mean, come on that. Yeah, I feel like that's a perfect opportunity to

pick up right where we left off. You know, fire, fire, another one fired, the last two actually of the of the picks, fire as all can be for me. Katana Chance and Kayden Carter are going to Raw where they just lost a match against the NXT Tag Team champions, but now they're both all four on the same main roster, and I want to see that go some more. Yeah. I think that's definitely the the direction they're going, So I'm with it. And then to the Moon, Cameron

Grimes finally made it from NXT to smack Down. He's been gone a while, he's been going through body transformation. I'm I'm I'm all in. Um, I'm I'm impartial, and for me, it's lunchable right now. Um, he's never really gone over for me, So we'll see what happens, all right, all right, then we're gonna get this supplemental drafts and I'm just gonna give you the one, two, three, four. The first six they all went from. They went from raw and stayed on raw.

Nicky Cross Train a trash, Johnny Gargano Fire, Los Lotarios fire, a Curaszawa lunchable, Piper Nevid fire fire. And then the next four, the next four go from rod to SmackDown. You got your girls, I Elie lunchable, Degan Knox lunchable. Emma, um, I'm excited to see what you can do. Riddick Moss fire as well. And then from an XT let me let me bust out my my best DJ Tusmo boys here from NXC. You have the man with his homies, you got gender my Hall sound

us. And returning to Monday Night Raw Indu ser uh fire, I mean your absolutely body. Uh. I don't know if you know. Honyesty Jones. Honestly, Jones is a big boy from NXT. He got drafted to Monday Night Raw. There is a new big Yeah, he's like uh Mark Henry esque. Yeah see yeah, so absolutely yeah, absolute fire. Tamina just went from SmackDown to raw. Nobody, there's nobody mina but yeah, but does anybody even care? It's a complete lunchable break. I mean.

And then I'm gonna say this, the final pick and the supplemental draft and of the whole draft is my favorite pick, my favorite pick. This is my fire of the draft, hands down. Rason Waller goes from NXT to Friday nice SmackDown. I'm with it. I want to see I want to see him in Gunther's fould pick back up. So uh, I don't. I don't just want to see that, but I want to see him with anybody. In my opinion, Grayson Waller is one of the top people in

NAT over the last year. And I'm, oh, man, I'm excited. I'm excited all the way me as well. Yeah, he's he loves to talk his he loves to talk his trash and he's you know, he's uh, he gets he gets people's blood boiling, so and he gets it done in the ring. He gets it done. In the ring, I'm sure does yeah, Fire. And then you know, there are some people that are free agents. I don't have the list in front of me, but the only one that actually matters Omas and brock a Lessner. Do you

go anywhere? It makes I mean there, yeah, it makes sense, um that they still they don't know what to do with the Moss. I mean, all he's had his squash matches and you know, I feel like he has definitely improved, but he's still got some work to do. So it's a good I think that's fire Ro Moss. It's a good move with brock Lessner, he was basically already a free agent. I mean it's a

dumb moment like he has to be able to use anywhere. Yeah, it's not really any news there they I mean, he is hands down the biggest superstar that they have on the roster at this moment, so aside from Roman. So it just makes sense to make him be available to put in wherever he needs to be. You know, Fire, you know so well then you know, I mean, now now that you have the whole draft, do you give this year's draft? Well, what do you give it? You know, Fire, Lunchable trash. I mean, what do you give

the whole draft as a whole. Um, Uh, it's it's like a B maybe like a B minus for me. I mean they did it's the same thing they did in the last draft, Like they can't figure out what they want to do, so they just it feels to me like it's a bit of a scramble, just mixing things up to see what they can do. So I may be choking on my my my grade later on when when

I see the storylines and the investment that they give me. But until then, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give WW the benefit of the doubt because they haven't really shown me much as far as the draft goes. I mean, they basically made the draft no and void this last season. So we'll see. Let's see the acknowledge the brand split. That's all I want. If you're if you're gonna continue, if you're gonna continue to do a brand split, at least you know, don't treat me like I'm stupid. We

say that all the time. We're fans and we know what goes on, So don't make don't make it seem like I don't know what you're doing, you know right? Well, then uh, you know, hey, you know, you know, like we said, you know we we we we covered the draft, we covered uh you know, we're gonna be uh the officials podcast for Timber Pro Wrestling. Uh and then uh, well so next week, you know, uh, next week is gonna be our premium live event review. So you know, before we get out here, let's get

our picks. Let's get our picks backlash in port To Rico. Who you got brock Lessner or Tody Rhodes. Oh man, I'm I'm gonna just off the cuff, go with Cody. I'm agreed. I'm agreed there. Uh, Matt Riddle, Kevin Ow and Sammy Zane versus the Bloodline, the USOS and Solo Sakoa. However, there seems to be dissension between Solo and the USO. So I'll go first with this one. It's a gimmi. It's a gimmi. Matt Riddle, ko is Sammy Zane, It's a watch.

They take this and the Bloodline cuts out the USOS. Um. I don't know. Yeah, I've been saying for a while that the USOS are gonna break up and they haven't forever, So I can't get on board with that necessarily, but I do agree that Riddle and Sammy and Kao will win that match. So you who you got this one in a San Juan street fight, Damian Priest by both from the same village in Puerto Rico, and now they're doing a match together a San Juan street fight. Anything goes. I

think the match itself is fire. It's it's hard to say who's gonna win that match. I think Damian needs the win, I think, but who knows how it will go, especially you know that Bunny is a is a mad superstar in the Latin American community, so um, it could. I feel like it could go either way. If I have to choose one off the cuff, I would say Priests will win that match. I'm with you.

I'm saying that. I'm saying there'd be match of the night. But Damian Tasty, Yeah, yeah, SmackDown Women's Championship, re Ripley, Zelina yeah, oh man, Riah is winning for sure. It's almost a lunchable. It's yeah, give me a reason to invest in Zelena again. She's a good She's good. So that's again. That's that whole uh, disorganized chaos in the women's division. Well she's only there in that match because of her ethnicity. Yeah yeah, So well that's my lunchible, and I have

another lunchable too. It's the last match, Beth Freakin Rollins and Omas. Um. You know, I don't know. I think that Seth might be putting Omas over on this one. I'm not sure, but I I'm gonna go with Omas for the win on this one. Okay, all right, we disagree for I'm going with Seth. There's no way I'm betting against Seth on this one. I don't want to get another loss like this and then try to make him feasible to go after the title. Great, but what

about um, what about putting o Moss towards the title? I don't want it. I know you don't want it, but I don't want it. Put your fanboys side Kanye and to woman. I haven't even figured out how to say it almost his name, Omas's name correctly, and I don't care, I know, but I think it's needed. Omas needs it, though Seth doesn't need it, like he'll come out the other side either. Like Seth losing isn't gonna hurt him. One way or the other. Omas losing

is just gonna make him look even worse than he already does. It's not actually in the last match. I don't even know why I said that. You still have the Women's Raw Off Championship, Bianca bel Lair versus EO Sky and I've seen these two battle and nxtem. This could be a show Steeler and I'm going, you know, UM, I don't think that. I don't think so, I'm gonna go with Bianca. Um. I think Bianca. I think Bianca and Ria are going to be the two to trade titles.

I don't think that they're gonna change the titles before that happens. So who's well at all? Right? What? Well? What about this one? Bobby Lashly verse Bronson Red versus Austin Theory for the US Championship, Um, Austin Theories maintaining that's yeah, I think there's just no way there's Yeah, I don't know. What what are you? What are your thoughts? My thoughts are they have successfully built Austin Theory into a powerhouse, and I

think this match here will just build that resume. Yeah, yeah, there, there's there's no reason to drop it to I mean, come on, Bronson read like he's he put the work in yet. He's good, he's big, But I'm not invested. Really, it's believable, which is a big thing for me, the believability. It's believable, But exactly, it's the investment that the development. And you know, like you said, they've built Austin theory so much. And I don't think. I don't think there's

any major title changes coming up backlash not not. They're not going to drop to people who are are you know there? I don't. There may be one or one or two shock drops, but I don't even see that happening. I think it's they have to establish this draft that they just did, otherwise it's going to again look as though they're not even acknowledging it. So right right, I do though think you know, the one time I think

will change, I think it's EO. Sky. I think that's the one that's feasible because it's it gives her a reason to slowly start her separation from Damage Control, so damage Control can be Bailey and Dakota Kai as a tag team. Yeah, so you know, but hey, we'll see, we'll see, uh and uh, you know, good news to everybody here is I just found out before the show is the mean Lion is actually going to be in the building this said today and we're always sitting here watching it together.

You already know it's it's backlash and that's amazing, you know, because hey, it's always so much more fun to sit here in the same room and watch the pay per views. I gotta say that, Yeah, you get those those uh instant reactions between each other, which makes it all that more organic and real. So right, and I think what we'll do is we'll go ahead and we will be we will release a video of the podcast on video as well, because I mean, we get the chance to go

ahead and and and and basically fill our reactions live as it happens. There's no thinking about it, no scripts, no nothing, you know what I'm saying. So that's gonna be a lot of fun, you know what I mean, It will be a lot of fun. And I think, uh, being that we're you know, in somewhat of partnership with TPW and uh, you know, the direction that we're trying to head towards is gonna We're

gonna have be having a lot of live, candid moments. So I think that's a big deal coming up. So guys, are you know, videos and live reactions of things going on in underground and you know, any sort of reactions that we may have to pay per views and all that. It's going to be coming up pretty quick. So yeah, yeah, it's it's basically what we would call fire. It's fine, for sure. Yeah, fine, it's fire. But uh, you know that's it that that that's

the the rundown. The draft is over. Um, you know, now it's time to see, you know, what they do with it. You know, who gets a chance at the title. The women's division has been completely bolstered with so much fresh new talent um. You know, there's a lot of things that could go down. But uh, hey, this is officially the Triple H er so now I'm gonna be a lot more critical, you know, like you have you have the Wheel. It's the Triple H

and Sean Michael's era. Don't don't don't forget about Shawn Michaels because he's the one who's been putting his mother these guys up through uh an xt you know, so right right, so hey, you know that that's what we got this week.
