New WWE Names/RAW Preview

at me. I'm tired. Hey, we got a lot to get into here today because I desperately try to wake up. But watching New Japan, I watched Filthy Tom and Uh and Eugene Nagata Holy Smokes, and I was in the middle of the Suzukiyashiti match when I had to I had to do this show. So we'll review as much as we can on the Filthy Town Lawler show coming up at two Pacific five Eastern. But today we'll get into all of the news. Tonight, of course, is Monday Night Raw, and you know how it goes with this

Raw show. They've announced a bunch of stuff we'll find out what actually airs. We've got allegedly two championship matches, unless of course, somebody ends up in protocol at the last second. We've got a light detector test, and we have got a double wedding, two weddings going on at the same time, so I'll give me the lineup for that show tonight. We've got the update on Ring of Honor on Sinclair. Ring of Honor on Sinclair is no more.

They they're done, and so we'll see if this coming Wednesday on the A W Show, we'll see if the big announcement by Tony Kahn has to do with streaming, because one would think that maybe it should have something to do with streaming, because a Ring of Honor needs a deal of some sort. They're actually signing a bunch of wrestlers. They get a lot of wrestlers on the contract. They just they just signed their champion in fact, and they have no television, so we'll have to figure out

what they're gonna do there. We have new names, new w w E names. That's always fun. You know, A couple of people have Nancy to change her name is probably more to come. I'll tell you why. What the new names are neither of which is an improvement, and much much more so. Stick around, everybody back in a moment Wrestling Observer Live. R uh huh back here on the show. Right now? Is here Wrestling Observer alive? And I don't see Mike semperviv anywhere? Where is this guy?

How goes everybody Live radio? Well, we'll send him his friendly you know how it goes every every couple of weeks. We've got to send Mica, you know, wake up? Text says right here, simple microphone turned off. Mhm, probably love turn that on. Money Alright, Well, let's let's get going here while we figure this out. He just sent me, uh some profanity, so he's awake. I still know where he's at. So anyway, okay, going with Adam. All right, here we go. We got a lot to uh. Mike

says he can see and hear me. Mike, can you hear me? Okay, now we can hear you. But where's your video? Buddy? I have no idea, dude. Thanks for amuting me though or whatever. It was, all right, try reconnecting. Jared said, I shall, man, what an exciting show we have every day for you people. It's Monday minutes and minutes of absolutely nothing happening. Alright, well, let's get into the news and then we'll figure out Mike's video here, or we'll just make him a giraffe again. So tonight's Raw.

We've got four things announced for the show, and only two of them are wrestling matches, although they're both championship matches. We have Sasha Banks and Naomi versus Rea Ripley and Live Morgan for the women's tag team titles. And obviously they were going to do this match a week ago, but Ria Ripley was and I quote, in protocol and so she was unable to do the match. She is now out of protocol because she appeared and wrestled in fact on SmackDown, So unless somebody else ends up in

protocol tonight, the match will actually be taken place. So that's for the women's tag team titles. We have Finn Balor defending the United States Championship match. Tell your friends about this one. Finn Valor will be facing Theory because it can't be Austin theory anymore. He must be Theory. So Finnbeller will be facing Theory for the United States Championship.

And then we have Kevin Owens administering a lie detector test on Ezekiel, and then we will have the double wedding of Dana Brooke and Reggie and Tamina, and a cure to Zawa. So we've got a double wedding, a light detector test, and to championship matches. And I believe Mike, we have once again lost. Like cemper vv, I'm just gonna mute everything for now. I'm gonna continue on and

we'll figure this out in the next segment. So as as noted here, uh, Austin theory is no longer Austin theory because what happened was Vince McMahon, seventy six year old Vince McMahon. He woke up one day and he decided, how do I want's names? No real names? And so this course does not apply to everybody. It's I forget the name that Dave used in the Observer, but Randy Oran's not gonna wake up tomorrow and get a new name. But if you're you know, some random person or whatever,

this could apply to you. So because Austin theories real his his real name is not Austin theory, okay, but his real first name is Austin, so therefore he can't use his real first name as part of his fake full name, so he can no longer be Austin Theory. He just has to be Theory. Or you know, they could have given him a new first name. They could have just decided, you know, we'll call him Frank Theory.

But they decided we'll just call him Theory. So that's why Marcel Bartel has a new name, because apparently that's actually his name, is Marcel Bartel. Vaulter's real name was Vaulter, so now he must be Guntherer because that's not his real name. And then we now have the name changes for two n XT wrestlers. Kaylee Ray is now going to be Alba Fire f y r E Alba Fire. And this one's my favorite. They are changing the name of Casey catan Zaro. Okay, Casey caton Zaro is no

longer Casey caton Zaro. She is now Katana Chance. I guess because she takes a lot of chances or something. Katana Chance is the new name of of Casey caton Zaro. And I was thinking about this the other day, and I don't know if you guys know this about Casey caton Zaro. But she was an American Ninja Warrior and she was, like, you know, really popular on that show, and they saw her and they signed her and they gave her spots out of American Ninja Warrior, like she

climbs the ring post to get into the ring. But now they're going to change her name. She's no longer Casey canton Zaro because I mean, when you think about it, it's not like calling her Casey canton Zaro you're gonna do like huge business or anything like that. It honestly doesn't matter, Like you're not gonna get new fans because American Ninja Warriors Casey caton Zaro is in w w E. But it is funny that you go out of your way to hire somebody out of American Ninja Warrior and

then we must change her name. It's like, you know, the Creed Brothers, as we mentioned, you know, they all they do is talk about the accolades of the Creed Brothers, but that's not actually their their names. They have they have names, so they actually got all of those accolades under and so so there you go so many way. She could no longer be case of Catain's arum. So

all of that, you know, what's the point. She's Katana Chance, and there's gonna be probably others that have to change their names as well as a result of this decree, which I'm sure will you know not last forever, Raquel Gonzalez had to change her name to Raquel Rodriguez because Gonzalez is her actual last name. So all I can

think of is that, you know, Vince's Vince's concerned. Presumably, Oh, Raoul Mendoz also now Cruise del Toro, He's no longer Raoul Mendoza, So presumably Vince's concern is that, well, you know, if Austin Theory leaves w W E to go to a W, he can't be Austin Theory, but he could be Austin. Well, we can't have that, so we have to take away everything from them that is real that they could therefore then use elsewhere. Obviously, if you're a Matt Riddle, you know you're not gonna have to change

your last name. I don't think I guess we could, you know, turn on the show tonight. He's got a new name. But that's his new decree for the n x T folks, the folks being called up to the main roster, no real names, not even a real first name, and a fake lass name or a whatever. So it's Vince. It doesn't it honestly doesn't matter. But it is one of those Vince things that I must ridicule on air because it's ridiculous. Are you back now, Mike? All right? We got audio and video from Mike here that is

very Vince. By the way, And why did Riddle have to change his first name? Why did they drop that one? Well? Uh, the reason that they originally dropped his first name was because they were and this is another funny one, they didn't want people to google Matthew Riddle's name and find out that he had had all of the issues with weed in UFC. And so I guess in Vince's brain because he's seventy six, well, if remove his first name, they won't be able to find any information about him.

Never mind the fact that if you google W. W. E. Riddle, his whole name comes up in his Wikipedia and everything about his own entire life. But that was Vince's that was his solution to h And then, of course, nowadays you know now you may as well give him his name back, because now they're they're embracing the whole weed thing on SmackDown, Uh, grasshoppers. Remember he used to jump in the air and kick his shoes off and and birds would fly out or whatever. Well, on SmackDown it

was it was grasshoppers. And so they were making all these these comments about grass because now it's like a gimmick that they they're weed smokers. Him and Randy Orton are friends in weed. But before they decided that that was okay, they didn't want people finding about all of this weed, and so they thought the solution was to get rid of his first name. Then we will know it'll be able to find out anything about this Matt Riddle if we just call him Riddle, they'll google and

find something about Batman. Back after the break Observer Live, you know somebody that Chad during the break noted that I might have my timeline Rock. There was concern that people would find out about who met Riddle in his weed issues. But I think it actually might have been when he was having his legal issues that they dropped the Matt Matt part, because you know, you dropped that Matt and you just can't find information about the guy. He's he's a ghost once he dropped his his first name.

And this may be a story for another day in the future. But Gable Stevenson keeps his name. Yeah, he's He's get to keep his name for the time being, but not his brother. His brother has to change his name. The brother of Gable Stevenson has to have a new name. I hope they acknowledges his brother, but that he's got a totally different name. And by the way, somebody brought up to me it is a great it's a great point.

By the way, shouldn't Kevin Owens be going all over this company both you know, Ross SmackDown and n x T and given light detectors to all these people that are having these new names. Now where is he on SmackDown? When uh, you know, Raquel Gonzalez shows up, she got a new name, and that his whole issue with with with Ezekiel. No, no, no, it's not about the name. It's about the fact that that he believes that Ezekiel is a lie is and that Elias is not just

faking his own name. But you know, these other people like Butch, you know, Pat McAfee brings up you know, he sneaks in their line about calling him Pete and how he knows these mistake. Well, but you know, whereas like, you know, it's kind of noted that these people that they are who they are, they just have new names. Whereas you know, Elias is just saying, no, I never existed at all, I am Ezekiel. Well that's only because

Ezekiel has stated that he is his own brother. I mean, for all I know this, uh whatever, Marcel Bartel's real name is Ludvig Kaiser. For all I know, he's saying he's he's the brother of Marcel Bartel. We don't know. He's been busy doing promos. Raquel has never explained she was a former n x T champion. She's just showed up with a new name. Maybe she's pretending to be

her own sister. Maybe that's gonna be like Ezekiel is just the first, and like there's gonna be a whole bunch of wrestlers that show up and they're actually their own sib links. There's gonna be an army of siblings. This is the This is the worst Luca Underground remake I've ever dumb or anything else. We're gonna have a Katana chance show up and say I'm actually the sister of the famous Casey Kennon Zara from American Ninja Warrior. She quit, but I'm her twin and I'm gonna do

all of her spots and everything like that. But I got a different name, and oddly enough a different last name as well. Alba Fire, Alba Fire, Alba fare. Guys, remember Kaylee ray Quit, I'm her sister, Alba Fire. Bunch of sisters and brothers gonna form a faction really is like shaken up in the name generator and just okay, what do we got here? Alba Fire? Is that a name? Fire?

Alba Alba Fire? Sure? Why not? Alba Fire? Maybe it means something to her, because I know apparently people have input into some of the names that they are going to be called sometimes times. Um so if this means something to her, I apologize for poking fun at it.

But Alba Fire, you know, I I've told the story before, but when I used to write the Breaking Cafe here, the Frank A Gotch Flying Mayor Wrestling newsletter for Figure four Weekly, some of those around here there would always be there, always be, you know, a quote from some rando, and so I had to get these. I had to get a name for the rando. And so, you know, back then we had phone books. A few youngsters know what a phone book is, which, by the way, remind

me I got another story time. But anyway, they had a phone book, and you would open the phone book and would it would have everyone's you know, they talk about doxing. Nowadays you could just open the phone book and get everyone's phone number and address. I got to school with you know what I actually did, Chris Walla. Oh just look in the phone book. Oh, there's Chris Wallace's name and address and phone numbers right there in the phone book. Should have called it the docks book.

But anyway, so I didn't want to use anyone's actual name, Like, I didn't open the thing and go, oh, you know, here's a you know, Frank mayor or whatever, because you know he might be a reader. So I would I would get a first name from some person and a random last name from another person, and I would combine those together and it would come up with the name of the person doing the quote. And uh, it was exactly like these NX team names. It was just I

don't know what it is. But like when you hear someone's real name, like Mike simper Viv, it just seems like that's like a real name, because it is. But for some reason, if I took your first name and Jim Valley's last name and I said debuting tonight, Mike Valley, that just sounds weird. Or hey, you know what's gonna show up tonight, Jim simper Viv. You're like, who is what a stupid name? But anyway, that's all these names are just they don't roll off the tongue. They just

sound weird. Alba fire Cut on a chance and even briant look even in in the Flying Mirror and in the Onion, which would be another great use of doing something like that with the fake quotes with somebody's name attached to him, they sound like real names. And I know there's a lot of wacky names out there. There's a lot of unique and different names and names rooted

in culture that you know, I'm not familiar with. So there's a lot of names out there that are you know, like but like with w W E, they either they come across so generic, like isis Nile? I thought that's kind of a cool name. Maybe you look at Ivy Nile. I'm sorry, Like I thought that was kind of a cool name. But then it's like Alba Fire, I don't

know how great that sounds. Katana Chance sounds like somebody out of a video game, and it's like it doesn't I don't know, it just doesn't ever really serve the kind of fit with w E. I mean, the Butch thing, because of the character he's playing makes sense. It's just why did you have to rename him Butch? Why couldn't he be I don't know. But then again, we've been this has been a w w E slash F thing since three since you know, forever. You know, actually even

before that. Look, people would go to work for Vince McMahon's father and he would change their names. Hulk Hogan used not Terry Boulder. We wanted the Irish guy, so it ended up being you know, whole Hogan. So this is again, this is what they do. It's in their DNA to do. It's just come a cup with some better names that kind of fit, and yeah, roll off the tongue and seem a little more marketable. I guess I'll get back to the news in a second. I

just gotta tell the story real quick. So the other day, we're in California and uh we we went to uh the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and then we went to eat and there was just this little hole in the wall place called American Burger, that's what it was called. And everybody that worked there was Mexican, and uh they played Mexican music. It was like the weirdest thing, but they only and then they wanted chicken nuggets and they were the exact same ones that we get from Costco, the

Dino nuggets, exactly the same. So I like the place, but it's called American Burger, and so on all of the walls there's like, you know, here's the Beatles, and uh, here's some you know, records and whatever like that. And they got some antique stuff in there, and I said, uh, Paisley, when you're done eating, I'm gonna go show you what

some of this stuff is. I'm gonna explain. I was gonna explain to her what like a record was and everything like that, because she just all she knows is, oh, I want to listen to Coca melon just played on your phone. To know know what life was like, you know, back in the day. So we're looking around and and uh, and there's a there's an old TV, a cathode ray TV, the big square TV. And uh, I said, you know that is right, and she looks at it. She goes an oven, said, she goes, it's an oven. It's like

a microwave oven. A television. She had no idea what a television was, an old school of television. I video I took a video of because it was just so preposterous. I should put it on the internet. And Oven, oh my god, I don't even bother explaining the record after that. You don't even know what a television is. Kid, I can't explain a record. And she's she's young. Avery. We a couple of years ago went to the Mayflower Hotel in d C. And they have a lot of nice,

really nice sitting areas in there. And in one part of it, I took a picture because it's Avery on his phone on his iPhone looking over at a rotary phone, just completely baffled, just baffled, new was a phone, just like, okay, what do you do here? Why are these letters? What is going on here? And just had no clue on how to work it showed him. It was like, yeah, okay, well that makes sense now. But it's like, so let me get this straight. You would click it and it

would make that yes, yes. And then his grandmother told him about the you know back in the day of k L M. Dash that was a phone number four or five seven, and yeah, that really blew his mind. Yeah we're old, Brian, this is what's going on here, Suttenham singed in an interview, and he said that he chose to sign with a W over w w E in order to make history for Indian wrestlers. In the promotion, he said, I had given trials for w w E as well and I liked it very much as well.

And I liked a W as well. A W is brand new. It's only been a couple of years right, and it's really fire. I thought that if I go to a W I would be the first again first wrestler from India. I will make another history for India in a e W. He said, it would be amazing to go to w w E, but they already have Indian people over there, they have Indian wrestlers. Why don't I go start where? There are no Indian guys and create history again after reaching there. So anyway, that's why

he chose to go there. And I talked about this on the Brinon Van Show and Observer Radio last night. I know, everyone hated his debut and the lights out and the fans are baffled, and you know, we had the people which wasn't It wasn't good, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't the worst thing. Now, with that said, on the Battle of the Belt show, after the Jonathan Gresham match, Suttenham Sing showed up and he went down to the ring and he beat up Gresham and he

beat up the boys. And I thought the guy, I was impressed, not like he was he was you know, the bars low. I just saw Omas have a horrible match at WrestleMania and everything like that. But I mean everything he did it looked good. Nothing looked bad. He didn't have to sell, which is like the big thing that these giants have a problem with. But like he looked, you know, dominating, and he had charisma and he had a personality, and I thought it was like a great

little segment there. So I don't know what everyone else thought, but I was very impressed with Sutton. I'm sinking back in a moment. It was over life back in the show. Brian Elber is here Wrestling Observer Live, Mike smber Vid also Wrestling and debserver dot Com. This person here makes a good point. He says in w w E the names feel like two first names or two last names. So it'd be like Mike Bryan Semper viv Alvarez that's

actually a good one, or Proper ver High. It's a lot of Latin in there for that supper vv Alvarez. But you know, yeah that yes, way too often is that the case? When there's guys down there? What are there? What is it? I mean? But it's like there's some genera. It's like Josh Briggs and what's the other guy's name? Jensen? Whatever? Where is Brigg? Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen? Yeah, impossible except for one guy can't get a So I remember Brooks Jensen. That's how I remember Von Wagner. Like, oh,

I like von Wagner. Don't know that one. That's a good one. Okay, that was see there like that one. There's one I don't understand at all. Von Wagner yeah, come on, is he Dutch? I mean, is it like I don't know, I just Fallon Henley. Yep, that's a good one too, Fallon Henley. Look, that sounds more like a different line of business to me. I don't know what this comes and I know you hate this. I know we've done this before. Is that a WrestleMania main

event named Tatum Paxley? Can you see Tatum Paxley against Fallon Henley in the main event a Rustlemania? Actually possible? I guess this person here notes they renamed Casey to Katon a chance because of the American Ninja Warrior gimmick. Hannah is a weapon used by ninja's that's true. Actually, Classic wasn't acknowledge. We're gonna acknowledge her American Ninja Warrior past, but not actually let her use the name she used

un American Ninja Warrior. Why don't they just put her under a mask, in a full body suit and call her the Ninja Warrior or something. I guess you could, but they probably can't trademark Ninja Warrior. I don't know if you're gonna give somebody like, you know, the name, I don't know. That's one of those like I don't know, Katana Sword if she was in an outfit or something like that, it's like, you know, Ninja Mack, Like, you know, it's not the same when he takes the mask off

and it's just him. But when he's in the mask, he's got the whole, all the gear on and everything. He looks like a Ninja Mac. You know what I'm saying. Like, that's another one of those names where it's like Katana Sword. At least make it video game esque or something like that.

I don't know. All right. Here's an interview that Tripleates from the Athletic talking about n x T. He says that the after transitioning n x T from the w W network to the USA Network, the pandemic changed their focus in working in front of no fans and hurt both the recruitment and training of talent for nearly two years. Then we said, said Hunter, all right, let's reboot it and go back to what we originally were. Some of these people won't be ready for television, but we're gonna

put them on television. We believe the audience is invested enough that the numbers might come down, but a core group of them will stay, and now we're creating fresh stars all the time. That's where we are now. The numbers have stabilized, he said. The shift towards two point oh and more churn on the roster was something they were already talking about, but then it happened to take place at a period of time where I had to leave it for a bit, he said. Build your own

versus recruit from the Indies. Said over time, you realize the NFL parts ways with up to five players a year, which helps contribute to a larger pool of athletes from which they can recruit, versus a smaller pool of Indian talent where quote you've almost got to be someone with nothing else going on, or you can't take no for

an answer and dig dig dig. If you take that athlete pool and ten or five percent have big personalities, that would be good for the business, you're talking about a talent pool that's a thousand times bigger than right now. He admitted they were going to be some cases where they will miss and realize they were wrong and not signing certain talent. But quote, at some point you'll want to be a part of the biggest promotion in the

world and you'll come back here. Well, I said, there are numbers of trainees forced them to have more regimented uh into whether they have a future in w w E. In the past, you said they would give new talent more time to figure things out. But in the current day they will have a better gage after six months on whether recruits will have an aptitude for pro wrestling,

where do you want to start picking this one apart? Okay, more they will have a better gauge after six months about other recruits will have an aptitude for pro six months farmer nix he starts making an elsewhere. Lex City likes it. Former Nixey talent have made it big elsewhere and are happy for them, equating it to when players leave football teams and move to other teams. I like

to think they came into us here. We taught them a lot, got them to a higher level where they learned how to do television, how to be professionals, and all of that to be successful there. At some point they might come back with us, or they might never because they don't fit our brand as well, and that is okay. He said. He welcomes competition, saying it's great and makes everybody sharper. You get lazy. If you're all there and everybody goes about their business the end of

the day, it will make us better. We'll all be better for it. All these things have forced us to be in a better place right now now, Not that we wouldn't have gotten there anyway, but we have done it quicker in some manner. There's room for everybody to do it. I just talking about competition. It's like saying the USFL or XFL is starting up in the NF fell is panicking about market share, just going to increase people's love for football. If you love football that much,

you'll watch all of the football. It's great. But the NFL is not sweating that. So really the only thing I don't want to sit here and just like talk about all of this. But he did have one line which he just totally glossed over. He said, says, here the pandemic change their folks and working in front of no fans hurt both the recruitment and training of talent

for nearly two years. Then we said, okay, let's reboot it and go back to what we originally were in any moves on mm hmm, Well, why did you make that decision. The answer to why they made that decision, by the way, is because I mean, it's there's a lot of reasons, but I mean, Vince just doesn't get it. He does not get the modern style of professional wrestling. He doesn't get being small, he doesn't get doing high spots, he doesn't get indeed, modern, he doesn't get any of that.

He knows what he knows, and what he knows is big, good looking guys, hot women, colors, no clothe, and so what he knows. And so, I mean, do you guys remember an x T from like nineteen dude, it was awesome. All people talked about was his best thing in wrestling was better anything on the main roster. But he didn't like all that. He didn't like these guys. He didn't get it. He would have the guys that were successful in the main roster were like, you know, tall, good looking.

I mean, it was so, I mean, that's what happened. None of that's mentioned here, just the generic line. Then we said, okay, let's reboot it and go back to what we originally were. And here we are. Let's just we'll get a whole bunch of of good looking athletes and uh, you know, in six months will know whether they can be good wrestlers or not, We'll fire everybody else and we'll just hiring more because, damn it, we can teach anybody to do this. That's what that's where

we are right now. And for those of you that don't understand why we watch n x T two point oh every week, I mean, this is the biggest story for the future of wrestling. We've got two companies. Okay, one company is all about we want good wrestlers. We want people who can do this job well, and we're gonna try to build a pro wresting promotion around it. And then we've got the other company that's like, it doesn't matter if you can wrestle or not, doesn't matter

if you've ever done this. We can make anybody. We can take anybody and make them you know, not all of them, obviously, but we can take a hundred people and ten of them will have charisma and some athletic ability, and in six months, you know, we can have them far enough along that you know, they can go on on television and you know, eventually be WrestleMania main eventors.

This is a gigantic story. This is not just oh I don't like n x T and the show's dumb, and no, this is the entire future of this business, two completely opposing viewpoints. I mean, maybe there's room in this world for you know, two major progressing promotions that do things entirely differently. Maybe one will win out. I

guess we'll wait and see. I think sanity is gonna win out because you can only do this for so long before you realize that of the hundred sheep that you got to teach to jump the fence, when of them can't do it, and you do have that one that makes it over, and you're happy about them. But then you see out in that field all those people that for some reason, you don't like the color of that one, you don't like the height of that one, you don't like the age of that one. But but

all those people are are are fence jumpers. They can all make it over. They're all good at what they do, but you don't want to put in the time to, like, you know, make them stars. What they were doing on n x T was just fine. The problem was once they got to the main roster, and maybe Vincent a lot of other people didn't like hearing that. You know, you're not using these guys right, Why are you mischieved? Why are you changing their names? Why are you trying

to change what they are? You know, why is it the people who you released fault that you couldn't make any of them stars? You know, Finn Balor was the star for years, he was in I s. He was the star. He comes at the main roster and yeah, injuries there was that he was the first Universal Champion. There were some you know, things that happened that didn't work out perfectly. But then you know, Damian Priest was an untouched commodity. Damian Priests has been around the indies forever.

Went to n next team, older guy. Nobody knows how old Damian Priests really is. You know, he's he's older than some of those dudes like in Austin theory. But he hit it really well. He didn't know this guy was pushing forty unless I told you he was pushing forty. And he was a star. And he goes down next team. He was a star there. He comes up to the main roster and what happens. He remains relative the untouched and when they really figure out something for him, to do.

It's a complete mess. He looks like a goof and it hasn't worked. And we'll see what happens here with Edge. But I don't have a whole lot of faith right now. That's not the talent's fault. That's you, guys as fault. And taking a Tiffany Stratton or somebody ice cold off the street, teaching him how to work and bring him

up to the main roster isn't gonna fix that. It's not going to fix that unless you actually realize that you need more than just one star in Roman Reigns and understand that you need to keep building some more. They wait for somebody to trip over and fall into their lap, like a brock Lesner or Likes or Roman Reigns or somebody like that, that they can build up and call themselves. There's as the one example of look what we did, see this is how we made it work,

when really it's the athletes. It's more special than anything, frankly that they're teaching them. By the way, there's other stuff that I'm not going to even get into here on the air, but there's so much in that thing if you wanted to, it's just I'll us read this, uh this text message and then uh, I'm sure some of you can put two to get two together. Brian, what is up with the Hulu version of n X Team not having the key to Lions? The last two

episodes didn't have her on it at all. This person here says, and wait until they changed Tomasso Chump his name to Tommy Carl actually hasn't say. I mean, I guess he's still got his his last name. That's what they that's what they will do. They wouldn't get rid of They'll get rid of Tomasso first. We'll just be chomp all big letters. That's it. This person here's like Count von Wagner related to Count MARKI von Core. Remember that guy was Marquise, Yeah, I liked him and t

n a u um the cat or the Pounds? Who was that Monty Brown? Yeah? I liked him. You c w reeve it didn't do a whole lot for really anybody talking about a bunch of name changes that didn't quite work out. According to Blam, the odds that our truth misses up the wedding like he misses up town names and the wrong people get married. That's actually an awesome idea that actually would be great. I don't know

how the follow up would be. But if he accidentally married the wrong people to each other, I like, I'm gonna be very disappointed now if they don't do that. I know this is an old story, but that whole thing where he screwed up the name but Green Bay or Milwaukee? Wasn't he just goofing on the Snickers commercial and then everybody actually, no, he actually made a mistake. He really did make a mistake, one mistake in his lifetime and now that's the rest of his life. They

why didn't they build that into the Snickers commercial? Then? I guess maybe they didn't have that sponsorship back in the day. Make in a Moment with more Observer Live at the show.
