Jeff Jarrett Is Gone/NXT Women's Tag Team Bracket Change

it's now. It's now. I could say it every week. It ain't gonna be changed because there isn't some bloke coming in ripping up the script. Although there may be a change, and as of about an hour ago, there was expected to be a change. I don't think the news is out yet, so I don't want to say anything in case things change. But I believe that the the Cursed side of the n x T Women's Tag Team Championship brack it. I think there's about to be yet another change, So we'll talk about that what we

can here on the show. Today. We also go notes on Jeff Jaredy's gone from w w E. He has done we'll tell you about that. Biggie talk about day to day life with his broken neck, is healing a broken neck, and whether or not he is clear to return. We've got some g one notes and uh notes for some n J p W shows coming up down the road, and what Okada has to say about a lot of things.

Oh boy. Then of course we have the full reviews of a Rampage and SmackDown excellent match on SmackDown the five Way to determine the number one contender to Gunter's title, which is going to be Sammy'sane or it won't be Sammy'sane, It's gonna be Shamus. But Sammy Zane was the star of that match because they were in uh Montreal. He was massively over the baby face and they returned to Canada, I guess not return. They remain in Canada for the

show tonight. Tris Travis will appear on the show and we've got a lot of other stuff to talk about as well. So big day here in the program if you want Texas four to five seven eight zero seven five six six at a spot to five seven eight zero seven five six six Brian at Wrestling Observer dot Com at Brian Alburrows on Twitter back in a moment with more Observer Live back in the show, Bright Albarez here Wrestling Observer Live, My Summer vib elso Wrestling Observer

dot Com. A lot to get into today Raw is tonight. Well, you've got Alexa Bliss and Oscar versus Dakota Kai and EO Sky in a women's tag team at title semifinal match and will be facing Damien Priest and we will have an appearance by Trish Stratus. That is the lineup for the show here tonight, and uh, we'll see what more we can talk about later on here in the program. But I think there's gonna be yet another change to

the tournament. Has not been confirmed, but it has absolutely been discussed in w w E and I think it's happening, but we will find out maybe before the show was over here today. But that's the lineup for Raw. More of course to be added and hopefully it's a good show, because you know what, SmackDown was a really good show

on Friday. I know some of you still don't want to hear this, and in fact I talked to in the opening segment of how awesome that that five way was in a five way match, winner gets a shot at Gunter at the Clash of the Castle and Sammy Zane was so incredibly over place, going crazy for him. He looked awesome. But then they have Shamus go over and I immediately, I immediately had to blow back, nothing's changed, guy losing his hometown. Well, first off, he didn't get pinned.

Someone else got pinned. He was made to look like a hero. And on top of that, it's not gonna be Sammy's Shamus or Sammy zan and Gunther at the pay per view, they didn't want to do that match. Now, if you want to argue he shouldn't have been in that match, listen, if you want to argue that, you can. But I would even argue that this time because he was so great in that match and they're clearly doing a storyline involving him. Roman reigns the U s O's

and Drew McIntyre, which is yet to play out. But I I would not watch anything that happened in that match and go oh, nothing has changed, and that twenty two minutes they had a great, great match, And I don't care what anyone says. I cannot wait to see Shamus and Gunther pound the hell out of each other that castle. Hell yeah, for twenty minutes of the pay

per view, damn right. And my god, that's the problem with people that have the ability to respond instantly to something without taking everything in, because I can imagine that you got bombarded with tweets and texts and such that, Oh my god, look what they did. They buried him in his home town with all those people around him, and it's Quebec and this and that, and it's like, just wait till the end of the show. Then you could maybe cast your judgment on things. It's not like,

you know, somebody else getting beaten their hometown. He's tied in with Roman Reigns, and we know the usos aren't there. We know Drew McIntyre is still left to come. You know. That's the problem with instant reactions to things like that. There was also an incredible segment with Roman Reigns and Sammy Zane. I love this segment with all my heart.

And then somebody emailed me and uh, and they were right, they said, you don't reminded me of it reminded me of those skits they used to do in the early two thousand's with Kurt Angle and Steve Austin backstage, and they're absolutely right. It was exactly like that, these two Roman Reigns and Sammy Zane together in this segment. It was so great and the best part of it actually was Sammy's An's just starts burying Jayus because Jus has

always mean to him, and he's burying him. He's talking about he's yells at him and I can't remember the exact line that he said, but as soon as he said he realized, oh man, I shouldn't have said that. He goes quiet, and then he's about to explain himself, but then he realized there's no use. Oh yeah, he's not being grateful, and then he realized, oh man, and so he's all he gets quiet and he's gonna say something he can't say, and he just puts his head down.

He's just waiting to die. And then Roman Reigns looks when he goes you know you're right, And as soon as he said that, like Sammy's, I go white, and you could just hear the crowd go ah, like they couldn't believe it, like oh my god, Roman, Like Sammy, this was so great. This segment was awesome. I don't know where they're going with it, but it has been an ongoing storyline. Roman reigns the USO's and really Sammy's A and j U So are the two that have

been at odds. Jimmy's just kind of hanging around. So we'll see, We'll see where it goes. But I like SmackDown a lot. I'll review it with Filthy later on today.

You know, there's there are talents that would be better suited in a W there are talents that would be better suited in New Japan, and there are talents that would be better suited in W W E. And there were a lot of people that were really hoping that Kevin Owens, when all the news about his contract being up, that he would be one of the ones that would jump over to a E W and be back with the Young Bucks again and be with this person and

be with that person. And it's like, you know, if I'm Kevin Owens for a lot of different reasons, not the least of which is I am a hero. When I go to one province that my company has got a lock on and I know that they just signed a deal Dynamite did to be on RDS up in Quebec. But they are the two biggest I would assume stars in all of Canada, sammy's Ane and Kevin Owens, and

they walk up there. They are conquering heroes and they have been used well by w w E. So you know, there's a lot of people who would be betterfits in certain places. And after I got done watching on Friday, was a reminder to me that not only Kevin Owens, but Sammy Zane is actually in the best place he

really could be in. You know, when Vince, when Vince was booted and there was all this talk about, my god, who will replace Vince McMahon and Hunter was not in the role yet, and people were thinking, oh God, who is it gonna be like Pritchard or the name that came up was maybe Jeff Jarrett. There was like, oh my god, how though, how the world of wrestling the soap opera, how things, how this great circle of wrestling

turns well, there's in charge in Jeff Jarret's gone. Jeff Jarrets reportedly gone from w w E. P W instance reported on Sunday. Jared, who held the position of Senior Vice president of Live Events had departed his position. The belief was he finished his duties that passed Friday, although they were not sure of the specific timeline. He's been in and out of w W since nineteen for serving as a producer, a member of the creative team extually

the company during the COVID nineteen pandemic. Returned in his current role in May. He appeared at SummerSlam. Remember he was a referee of the usas in the Street Profits for god only knows what reason. Then he showed up for Rick Flair's last match pretty much outworked everybody in the ring. I don't know about that, but he was very good in that match. And then earlier this year in an appearance at GA Change of Wrestlings. First, oh my god, this whole thing, this hullabaloo to not do

a job to Effie. He went through all of this. Look how much Jeff Jarrett is a hero of mine when he comes to professional wrestling, the ultimate survivor, a guy who I always liked too. Yeah, he was pushed too hard at certain times in w c W and for some people's taste in the WWF, but I've always really liked Jeff Jarrett. And talk about the ultimate survivor for wrestling. He really is in the fact that he's been able to just be everywhere this year is a

true testament to him. So an amazing worker. I guess he's done with whatever he they're doing there. I guess he figures maybe it's too much, But yeah, I have a feeling we're not probably have heard the last of Jeff Jarrett, with something doing with professional wrestling, maybe even the w w E down the line. Biggy says Dodger is not worried about him leading a normal life. He is still not clear to wrest sole. He's been recovering

from the broken necks suffered on March eleven. He appeared on Out of Character recently said, essentially, the issue right now is my c one is not completely ossifying, not completely forming into bone. It appears to be healing fibrously, so it's kind of contained enough. I'm not a medical expert. I'm gonna butcher all these terms, but it's good enough that they're not worried about me in day to day life. I don't need the brace anymore. They took surgery off

the table, I would be cleared to live a normal life. Man. I hope so clear to live a normal life. I'm clear to live a normal life, but I'm not clear to be taking off anyting suicide spears and taking back bumps nature. What we do is very physical, involves your neck and your spine. I would like to keep that as intact as possible. So they're gonna basically wait and at the one year mark, they're gonna do more scans and uh find out how things are going. It's got

no nerve issues, no tingling, no weakness. They told me, as long as your neck is in the brace, as long as you stay in the brace, are good for that. I been working out, I feel great. I am just really grateful. So that's the update on Big E. Back in them up with more Observer Live back in the show Bright now is here, Wrestling Observer Live miximbur Vivy also Wrestling Observer dot Com. Well, we got new Japan Declaration of power which is not coming up until October.

Quite a ways. We have got j White Tomatonga for the i w d g P World Heavyweight title, Ocada versus Jonah, and more matches to be announced. So we have two matches the same amount of matches that have been announced for All Out for Okada spoke at a press conference after winning the G One. Oh yeah, you knew this was coming. You knew this was coming, he said, right.

I want to elevate the prestige of the G One Climax tournament, and to elevate the G One, I think you have to elevate the status of the contract that comes with it. I don't need an answer to this right away, but I do feel that for winning this tournament, for bringing the energy and the fire all the way through the G One, the winner should be in the main event at the Tokyo Dome representing as the G One champion. That's the stance that I would like to take.

As I had to wrestle Kingdom. I think the idea of being the rights holder is strange. I'm saying I will be in the main event against the i W g P World Heavyweight Champion. So if you want to be in that spot, then rather than come for me, you should go for the belt. But if anyone has a debt they want repaid or receipt they want to it, then they're more than welcome to face me a special singles match without the rights on the line. Thank you Okada and thank you Ghetto for moving this Tokyo on

back to one day. Well not his choice, but yeah, not his choice. Whoever his choice it was, they made the right call. That would be the fans because not enough of them have been showing up. And you know what, one night, one night is going to be good. It's fact, it's probably going to be probably pretty great. It's gonna be awesome. You're not gonna split all the great matches among two nights. You're not gonna have this deal where it doesn't matter who wins the g one. You can

lose the case, you can win the case. You can headline on night to bro the g one and one night of the Tokyo Dome. That's the way to do it. And that means New Japan Road or what's the the show that's right after it on the fifth The odor word show like bat makes that show even more pivotal

now too. It usually is anyway to see some you know, changes in the air coming out of the Tokyo Dome, but it really actually has some impact and significance now too, because any Americans or any foreigners that go over, they're gonna probably be on those two shows, if you know, and maybe everybody is not on the fifth, but it's gonna be a really important show and maybe setting the tone for what we see here in the States, whether it be through New Japan Strong or whether it be

through other outlets. Letn he says, So now the briefcase isn't defended, and the title will be barely defended in the lead up to the dome. Yes, you're right, you're right. That's exactly what's gonna happen. And that's exactly what happened for like thirty years, and it worked out fine for thirty years, and then they mucked it all up for the last four years. Well now and now they're fixing it again. Well, look, they're doing the right thing here.

And this has been the year of Okada channeling all of the greats from New Japan past, including not the least of which is an Oki and his ability to face an evil foreigners, somebody coming over with arrogance and cockiness, you know, putting fear in people. J White is the one who fills that role. Now to have Okada not mess around with anything else, have matches that matter, have time with his newborn child. Whenever that happens, perfect lead

you right into the dome, it means something. There are so many title matches, and that was one of the things that was going to happen over time with New Japan. Huroki Godo was the biggest victim of more id g P championship matches because he would win, he would get to a certain point and he would lose because they were having more of these matches. And I'm four more IDB g P title matches, not as many as maybe we have here in the States. You know, it's constant

title flips. Although again with Roman reigns and how it has been in a w times have been a little bit different. But bottom line, you know these guys and that title should mean something, and you have all these other title matches throughout the year. You have him here in the States, you have him great, but the lead into the Dome should mean something, the same way the lead into WrestleMania should mean something. And once the Royal Rumble is over, the same way once the October show

is over. Yes, you have the New Japan World Tag League in there to fill time, but when it comes to the most important things, I think we can have a two two and a half month build to a major match on a major show, your biggest one of the year. That's the way, in my opinion, it should be. Let's see if you were Triple H when you put the titles on McIntyre to suck the air of the room before All Out the next day. What does that mean? Are you're trying to tell me you don't think Drew

mctill would be a good champion. I'd be happy with Drew McIntire winning that title a clash of the Castle. I'm not sure what your question is such a news yeah thing that is gonna suck away the attention for all like nothing once All Out kicks in on Sunday. To me, there's no question it's still going to be a big show, and people may compare the two more, people may be planning their flags more by the time that it's over. But I don't think there's gonna be

too much. It's going to take the attention away once Sunday comes. Person says given, I'm sure he was given permission to do it. Do you think w w WE let go Double J because he was part of Rick Flair's last match? No w W he had a camera crew there, Charlotte was there. I mean he and besides, his contract allowed him to do that. It's contract allowed him to do outside appearances. So I would I would. I don't know for sure, but my guess would be

that had zilch to do with it. The person here says uh us unless Brian, you look at it from the aspect of he likes that life and maybe he doesn't want the responsibility and all that hying down of what you would have to deal with from a corporate, especially company that maybe in flux right now, as far as things moving in the office and things like that as people settle in and all that sort of stuff. So maybe it's just a matter of Hey, I like doing what I'm doing. I can be involved in wrestling

and do so much and not have to be tied down. Well, my point was he can do all of those things even with his job, Yeah, and make a lot of money from w w A at the same time. Yeah. But I mean I I again, I don't know what the exact nature of his role was, but it was about you know, promoting and doing live events, wasn't it. So unless it was kind of an ambassadorship role. I mean, that's got to be somewhat time consuming to try to coordinate and do things and have it be done on

the regular. Hearing how over Sammy Zane was on Friday reminded me of when he was the hottest baby face and n x T hoping we see Sammy's aane and Kevin Owens versus the US, so well, you know, Kevin, Sammy Zane is a He does a great job as a hell, but he's never been as great as he was when he was baby face in an XT And one of the one of the first things that Triple H did when he came back was start turning people that were miscast, and Becky Lynch was was one of them.

And I'm not saying that Sammy is miscast because he does a good job as a heel and obviously he was super over because he was in Montreal. Who knows about the rest, but I mean, the guy is so great that he'd be a fantastic baby face. And if if Kevin Owen's gonna feed with Roman reigns again, well it depends on whether they think that Romans gonna be beat boot or not. I mean, he's cheered virtually everywhere

he goes. He showed up on SmackDown in that car and the place just went crazy when he got out. So I'd be happy with Sammy's at and Kevin Owens versus the us OS, but I don't know what they're gonna do. I'd be all right with it. But I want Kevin Owens to stand on his own and be the only real shade of gray, you know, the only guy that's gonna headbut Vince McMahon, and also the only guy that's gonna you know, he's the only person that could have heat with everybody from a storyline standpoint, on

that roster. He's perfect as the man on his own, and as I can see him obviously with Sammy's aane, you want to do one tag match or something like that along the way. Cool, But I think as we go into fall and we go into the new season and all that sort of stuff, I like a refreshed, angry, competitive Kevin Owens to be again, to not be tied down with Sammy'sane and in a team or anything else. Not to say I wouldn't want, you know, there could

be worse things in the world than that team. But they need single stars and they need people to stand out, and Kevin Owens, to me is that guy. And not to say that Kevin Sammy's Ane is gonna weigh him down, but you know, to be honest, you know, there's a certain level for Zane and I like him tied in frankly with Roman reign. So we'll see what happens there. But I kind of like that you won't even need a briefcase. Didn't winning guarantee a spot in the Yes,

that's so caughtas point and my point. You win the g one, you're in the main event of the Tokyo Dome. Just like in the old days you won the Royal Rumble, you were guaranteed the main event at WrestleMania. Now, I think everybody, like all his old people, we watched the Royal Rumble because we always watched it and it's fun. But nobody goes into the Royal Rumble and is excited like when it begins, when it's over, about who's gonna win,

because it doesn't matter. It does not matter who wins the Royal Rumble, because if you win the Royal Rumble, you may headline WrestleMania. You may not headline WrestleMania, and we have two days of WrestleMania, so someone's gonna headline WrestleMania not having won the Royal Rumble. So it doesn't matter. It's pro wrestling. You can do nonsense. It's okay to do nonsense sometimes even with you know, a briefcase or

a stipulation or whatever every once in a while. But we've gotten away from like you mentioned, there's the Royal Rumble mean what it used to mean? No, does winning money in the bank mean what it used to me? No? Were we getting into territory with Gatto, with the briefcase and with the fact that you can defend this right that you know, maybe the old thing should be new again, which is he wins the big match. I'm going to

the Dome on the fourth. If somebody wants to try to hurt me along the way to take me out, that's fine, but I'm gonna be there for that title match. I like that, and to me, yeah, it does make the g one mean more. And come next year, when we have the possibilities of the Andrades, the Brian Danielson's, the Claudio's, the whoever j Lefals, whoever you want to say, could be possibly in that tournament. Yeah, I kind of

this is a perfect time. This was the perfect time for them, in my opinion, to try something new with the blocks and all that stuff. And I wasn't a huge fan of it, but I get why they did it this year, but come next year. Now it's time to bring it back. Backing him on with more Observer Live, well, it's time to talk about SmackDown and Rampage. There was

not a lot to talk about on Rampage Cloud. He did a promo open challenge for next week and Dustin accepted, so that's gonna be coming up on next week's show. It's forming our glory beat Private Party. They retained the tag team titles. They yeah, Fis bumped afterwards and that was it. They won. It was a good match, but it was just a match Hook and old Zach Clayton, the reality Zach Clayton. The match started, the bell rang Hook choked him out immediately. That was the end of that.

Then Angelo park Ker demanded a championship match I guess for next week, which hopefully we'll go longer than ten seconds. Then, because the match went so short, we had Buddy Matthews in his first singles match on a w I think somebody said, since like February or something like that, he beats the Pentago in like ten seconds, killed him, and then we had Miro showing up and he absolutely obliterated Malachi and uh left him for dead. So he is

coming after the House of Black. Finally, after all these months, he's making his move. I don't know if I like that Miro was becoming nineties seven sting. It's like he was so incredibly over and you never see him wrestle. He just comes out says something. It's amazing and most cases I would actually hate a bill to a match an involvement like this, but Miro has been so great the whole deal with the Pagan all of this stuff, always mentioning his wife like it's in some ways appling,

there's not. You know, if somebody were to walk in and you go, I'll explain all this to me and how it works in wrestling, it would be kind of difficult to with what's going on with him. But it's been amazing, and now I actually want to see him face off against Malachi Black. And it's got nothing to do with professional wrestling at all. It has got a. It's the lie. It's got nothing to do within the

ring at all. It's got a pc to do with these characters and how they've been talking to each other and what in theory that we're representing Athena b Penelope Ford and Uh, it was fine, finish, looked awesome, They shot it great, and then afterwards, Uh, Jade Cargile came out and destroyed Athena's wings. I don't think I watched this show every single week, okay, and apparently she's had these wings since day one. This was the first time they ever made a big deal about the wings. And

then the wings get destroyed. Jericho losing it in that Jericho worked announcer and so like she, God bless him. It was the worst thing in the world. God bless him for trying. Oh, come on, God's name, it was trying is more made it a mockery, even more than it was. He wasn't trying to make it a mockery. But I think if somebody probably figured out they're destroying

the wings this week, what wings? Oh those wings on TV once the last time she's been on TV with those wings in the ring, displaying them for everybody as if it's a big part of her ring gear. Somebody, somebody had the stance and it's been a while since she's been on TV with the wings anyway. Sometimes they do things to do things. Sometimes it works out, like they had a Texas death and was it was it?

The was it the dustin and code. They seemed to get to things sometimes quickly, but it's okay when it ends up working itself out, like when he comes to some of these gimmick matches. I think they've burned through a lot of things. This was a great example of And there have been several times where something has not been driven home on TV enough that was going to matter, and then they go with something like this where it's like,

why should anybody care? Why should I have an a invested interest into this thing that these bad guys who are kind of cool anyway are doing to this woman. And we had the best Friends of meeting the Trustbusters. Good made event, best friends, great Trustbusters did a good job, even even all Harlan, he does no more than he needs to do. He goes in there, he's big, and then Aridivary does all the work and slim J. Slim J was way better than I expected he fit right,

and in this match he was totally fine. And of course they lost. But slim J is not whining and crying about none of his finishing move is working. And he's been in this game for just as long as you have, and he's out there looking fresh and as sharp as ever. Yeah, will you you wait until all that weekend, brother, you'll see sharp. And that was ramp Yeah, it's gonna be a blade. Watch out of that g c W side of that locker room, stay on the BLP side that was the rampage shop. Then, yes, bro,

I survived Nick Gauge. Brother, I never saw you in the ring with Nick Gauge. Wait a second, Wait a second, backstage, maybe with Nick Gauge. I wouldn't get in the ring with Nick Gauge. I wouldn't be that foolhardy. And let me tell you something. The only reason was that brave is because he lets you get out of here. Yeah. Tom certainly didn't help. It's one of the reasons we're having this match. You're really denigrating, Uh I gotta get through smack down here bro a Ron arousing to this segment.

Now she's Steve Austin in she suspended and find but she comes out of the ring, place goes crazy for her. She beats up more security and they just love to run a rowsey she can do. She's apparently gonna be feuding with Adam Pierce or something. I guess we'll find out. Then we had toxic attraction versus Natty and apologize to Zoe for what because you said she and Nikita would be far worse to have in there than toxic No. I said they should not be seen on the main

deaf and annoying listen. I said, if you're going to have a team from n x T in storyline, it doesn't make any sense that two random people who have never had a match together as a team in their lives are in the tournament. Yet the former tag team champions can't get into this tournament. That's what I said. I've also never never said a negative word about Zoe Stark. I'm the one who wanted Zoe start to win the women's title, and I said she's one of the best

workers they've got. So I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it from you. They because they shouldn't be on the main roster. That was the whole point of that. They do things where they showcase people every once in a while, and that's what they're

planning on doing when Nikita Lions. Although the incompetence on that side of the Ledger heard a lot about a WS, but we can't forget some of the incompetent stories we've heard about w w E recently, including Nikia Lions not being even able to get into Canada when that was a planned out thing. That was ridiculous to have Zoe Stark there as opposed to Toxic Attraction because they shouldn't have been seen on TV. This match was bad and g G. Dolan had a horrible night. She was horrible

in this match. God bless her. But I cannot imagine that Nikkia Lions would be better. She would have been as bad, or she would have did that big button cannonball. She would have been the big butt cannonball. But you figure Zoe would have did more of the work, which honestly, for an Italia probably would have been kind of nice. The point is this match was bad. It was a bad match, and uh and then Toxic Traction one. So they're allegedly moving on in this tournament. Then we had Sammy,

Sane and Roman Reigns in a backstage segment. I talked about it earlier. Was awesome. We had maximum male models in the ring, hit Ro interrupted, beat him up and then did a long performance, and I was waiting, what's okay, what's this leading to? What's this leading to? What's this leading to nothing? They had a long performance. If you liked it, great, it's leading to Max dupri probably getting slammed around by uh By the Big Man. There a j Francis, So that's now, that's a we wanted new

tag teams. We've got new tag teams, and that certainly is a new feud. We had the Five Way Shamus beat Sammy's Ain, Happy Corbin, Madcap Moss and Ricochet. Matchell's great, it's the best SmackDown match in a long time, and Shamus one. So it is Shamus versus Gunther in the Battle of the Behemoths. To steal a line from Chris Jericho, these two behemoths will be facing off and clash at the Castle. Had a Viking funeral for the New Day with a cameo from Sarah Logan, which I don't think

means anything, but she was there. None of this means anything. Then we had Live Morrigan beating shot See and when it was over, Shana Bazer attacks Morgan and she beats her up because they're facing off of the pay per view and I actually like this. She goes to break her arm, she steps on the wrist, she's about to stomp the elbow, and then she says, if I break your arm, I can't fight for the title of the Castle. So instead instead of stopping her arm, she boots her

in the head and instead she was awesome. She was awesome in this segment that second that Live pulled back to look and then she just boots her right side the head. But again, Live Morgan is sitting there crying for her life if tears coming out of her eyes with a body part about to be broken. Again. I know you got to do a little of this, but is this really the best thing for Live Morgan leading into that match? Well, she's gonna win, so I don't

think it matters. Then we have the Roman reigns Drew mcutyre face to face and uh, you know, one of the things there's a lot of things that are getting better with w w E, but One of the things that continues to just mightily mightily suck is there horrible, horrible camera work and they're horrible uh directing of these segments.

So the segment itself, like Roman was good and Drew was good, and then we have the big spot at the end where they're getting this big brawl and Drew mcutyre is gonna go for the claim war and so you know, they think we're dumb still even with Vince conn and so he's gonna go for the claim war and so they human is tight at humanly possible on him because they don't want you to know that someone's

gonna get in the ring. But every time they zoom in tight on someone, you know that's because someone's gonna get in the rings. So you know Sammy's gonna be there. So Drew goes through the kick and of course he hits Sammy. Camera totally misses it. So now you know Roman Reins decides that he's gonna go for the spear on Drew mc attire, and he goes for the spear

and he gets claymoored and the camera missed it. The two spots you missed because you have to try to do all of this hocus pocus to fool the marks, when in reality, we're not that stupid. We know what's going on. Just film the action and bro, listen, listen. I don't want to hear this crap that I hear from the stand up for I'm sure everyone's all happy now that I'm met at w w E again, I don't want to hear this crap from the stand up from w w E geeks. It's like, oh, well, bro,

they're gotta cut the camera because it's HD. You're gonna see a bro a w s H d Impact is HD New Japan is HD, mL W is HD. Dude, everybody shoots an HD, and I don't see everybody missing everything by a mile those other promotions, you know, I see missing stuff by a mile stills people in w w E. Bro, stop with the camera cutting. It sucks. It absolutely sucks, and it ruins the show. Other than that,

it was good. But God, I hate, I hate, and all I have to hear is I hear from people are like, oh, you know this a w They've got such amateur production. They will never be as good as w w E. It's like, Bro, I know it's bright and colorful. Your production sucks. I can't see what's going on. You miss the action most of the time. There were two big spots in the main events segment. You missed

them because you're busy switching the cameras. God, And there's an easy fix for that, which is, uh, don't do that. As you just mentioned, it's really that simple. And I always wonder, it's like, are we really in the minority on that? Do they have focus groups for w w E and for for NBC Universal that brings people in and go I like this because I didn't like seeing the you know, there was too much light or whatever.

Somebody would say like, I, maybe we're in the minority here, and they really think that that looks great, but it looks like crap. And more often than not because of all of this manic late nineties style MTVBS cutting that was cutting edge then and in this scenario, all it does is cause you to miss action. It doesn't make

any sense to me. And when you have a headset and people walking watching backstage on HD monitors, if you did miss something, tell the rep, tell him to do it again, tell him to call an audible, then do it. Don't do all the camera cuts back in abzero Live back in the show. Brian Albarez here Wrestling Observer Alive,

Mike simbur Viv also of Wrestling Observer dot Com. One thing after another, and some people are mad that Vinnie did a lame review of Rampage yesterday, which, by the way, I did my best to uh to salvage that review and make the show at the review exciting, so don't get mad at me about it. But then some of the boards like Imagine saying that Rampage was boring, and then like in SmackDown, it's like, did you watch SmackDown? Bro?

If you watch SmackDown, you wouldn't post that. Like, I know some of you are angry and you're still upset about it, but like if you, I don't know, maybe it was Penelope for its uncle or something that's expressed in this opinion. But look, there's no reason to overblow something. There is plenty of conversation to be had, and if there's not a lot to review about a show, then maybe you just review what really needs to matter about

a show. You move on to the next one, then you move on to questions and other things like that, which is I'm sure that you did on the Brian, Vinnie and Greig Show. Honestly, have I ever been unfair in my reviews about any show? Have I? I watch all of these shows. I'm telling you, don't not watch the show and then yell at me about it. Look, you've had a lot of opinions. Oh this is about n x T two point. Oh, just because I like

some of this stuff on the show. How dare you like something on x T two point O'Brien, it's not Tiffany Stratton. I don't get it myself, but you know it's fine. Disgusted, I never I never thought the day would come, but here it is. But you know what, Yeah, that was another one. And I never thought the day would come where people wouldn't want backstage scoops about wrestling, But now they just want to. They want to put the blinders on and not hear about what's going on.

They just want to enjoy the shows. Well, anyway, we're out of time. I'm an enjoy row tonight, I am, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. Wrestling Observer Live. You have been listening to the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network
