Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles/Raw Report

sixth Eastern Tuesday. And the program. You know that means we had a lot of the usual news to talk about here today, including the Raw Report. Raw, according to Dave of a better book show than New Japan. Maybe not this Raw, but anyway, we'll tell you about it. You know what this Raw had though good wrestling. Smack Down and Raw this week both lots of good wrestling in the show. The seth rawlins aj Styles match last night, I would go as farst say, was an excellent match.

So we'll tell you about that today, and of course all of the news on Jeff Hardy. We'll get the bad news after the break. We're gonna open with good news here because you know what I like good news. W w E's Big E through his neck brace in the trash and a video posted to a social media on Monday and opposed to his Instagram story, Biggie threw away the brace that he is warrants and suffering a broken neck on the March eleven episode of w w

E SmackDown. The video marks the first update the Biggest provided in over a month as he continues to recover from the neck injury. At last report, he stated his C one vertebra was not healing optimally and that he would spend an additional four to six weeks wearing the brace as he hoped to avoid spinal fusion surgery. Suffered the broken neck in a tag team match on SmackDown, taking an overhead belly to belly suplex from Ridge Holland

Broke C one. C six said that he narrowly avoided par Alice's stroke and even death and now he has thrown the neck brace away, So that is good news to kick off the show here today. All the best too, Biggie on a full recovery and a return to w w E. Sooner rather than later. The end of the break, we come back. I believe Mike semper Viv actually is going to join us here today, so we'll talk to him about all of the news, Jeff Hardy, the Raw Report, a w tomorrow, n x T two point out tonight,

and more. You're right back up live. You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and Mike simber viv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. So let me get this straight simple. Yeah, we changed literally nothing, and

you magically lugged in today. If you think that I intentionally sandbagged yesterday and decided not to come on the show when we have raw reviews coming this week, we have n XT reviews this week, when we have all that news from Japan that we could have talked about yesterday together, you think yesterday was the day I was going to stand back this. If I'm not mistaken, it was your setup that was having a problem. Apparently wasn't. Apparently you were you talked to Tony. I mean I

had no issue online whatsoever. I had no problem with my Thaie line. I was actually no, I didn't have to log in what because I don't know if he knows or not, but Filthy got on just fine yesterday. Dave got on just fine yesterday. I'm gonna calling after. I'm gonna call you after my shows whenever we're going to do. Thunder Semper viv is gonna be your new name saying I'm sandbagging here, that's what you're saying, By the way, that story sandbagger, that story that and you

know it wasn't just some rando on the internet. It was actually a wrestler. But I don't buy that thunder Rosa was sandbagging in that match. I don't think she was deliberately trying to have a bad match. I don't. I don't think I think that she's just you know, I don't think it was on purpose. Why was Marina Schafir in that match? Anyway? And I'm gonna Marina Schafir fan, But it's like she she's got to come a long way, like when she's not in a blood sport type of

situation or a dominant quick like short wind situation. I just I some of the moves that they made with thunder Rosa in this title reign. If she is salty, as has been reported, There's been lots of things reported about thunder Rosa, which I guess is good for her since I know she's on Busted Open now and she's got all these side things going on. So I guess

any talk is good talk. But when it comes to actually what's happening in her career on a W, I've been baffled by some of the decisions that they've made. Here's here's the thing, so this person here goes Britt disagrees. Uh, Britt and Marina apparently they liked the tweet about her sandbagging. This is what I This is what I believe. Okay, I believe that, And dude, don't report this is as some story because this is just what I believe. I'm not reporting these as facts. Okay, your opinion. I'm in

my opinion. Okay. I believe that thunder Rosa has been hurt for a long time. Okay, I think that has affected her matches. I also watch these matches, and uh, it looks to me like she just forgets what the spot is supposed to be, or she thinks of spot's gonna come somewhere else. The matches have not been good, and there have been several with thunder Rosa that have not been good. But here's the thing with sandbagging, everybody.

One of the spots everyone's pointing at is sandbagging is when Marina goes for a vertical suplex and thunder Rosa doesn't really go up, and so do you guys. See what happens when thunder Rosa doesn't really go up, bro she practically takes a brain buster on her head. Okay, the thing with sandbagging is your bright idea is to not go up on a suplex, and so the person is to shoot suplex. You when you practically land on your head, that's a good way. That's a good way

to get hurt. Worked out real well for hardcore Hollywood. Brock didn't. Yeah, Brock decided he was gonna sandbag a power or bumb What happened to him, Brock just like bro just dropped him right in his head, broke his neck. So this is not the thing that you want to do, Like I'm gonna go up heavy on these dangerous, you know, potentially dangerous moves right here. I think it was just they weren't on the same page. And it's not the first match where thunder Rose has been on the same

page with somebody. She's probably nursing some injuries, which is why she's not maybe thrilled to that I think is a bigger problem. Not she's going in there trying to deliberately sabotage matches. That's what sandbagging is, when you go in there, you deliberately try to sabotage a match. I

don't believe that for a second. She doesn't look as a dynamic And I saw her at the end of last year in person as are at the beginning of this year in person, and yeah, I mean it, it does seem like maybe she's got nagging injuries she's trying to work through, and you know, she's got these big feuds and big situations and she doesn't want to miss them.

And maybe maybe that's it. And this may be more of a question for Lance, but and I'm not saying that this is happening with thunder Rosa or anything, but I wonder it's like any athlete gets in their own head and they go through slumps, and when you were working every night in that type of era, I mean, you would basically so you hit or you would hit yourself out of it. You would work yourself out of it,

or you would work yourself out of the business. Have you ever gotten in your own head or been in a stretch of time where it just you're trying to overcompensate. You're thinking about all this stuff you did wrong. You're not concentrating on the stuff you do well. Has that ever happened to you in your never never know. I just had a really bad match with Vinie and I just quit. That's what happened. I'll do it. I was just like, I'm done. Just sucks. I'm saying fun anymore.

I'm out of here. I'm taking kiddie pool bumps from here on up. We should probably talk about Jeff Hardy. Well, that's a bigger story than you being able to connect. Bring it down here, okay. Jeff Hardy has been suspended by a W in the aftermath of his d u I arrest. A W President CEO Tony connissues statement on is announcing Hardy is suspended without pay can only return to the company after completing treatment and maintaining his sobriety.

Con wrote that Hardy has indicated he's open to receiving treatment. Quote, we are able to resume contact with Jeff Hardy this afternoon. A W does not contone condone Jeff's alleged behavior. We've made it clear to Jeff that we will assist in getting treatment for substance abuse issues, which he has indicated he is open to receiving. In the interim he has suspended without pay. He can only return to a W upon successfully completing treatment and maintaining his sobriety. And then

he sends out the information. If you or loved one needs help, reach out to s A m H s AS National helpline one six to two help for those you have cell phones one hundred six six to four three five seven. Apparently the reason they made no announcements yesterday was because they have I guess he wanted to actually talk to Jeff Hardy before making this announcement. Obviously, yesterday, I think during the show, you know, they were probably still trying to figure out what they were going to do.

And uh, I think when this, when this news first came out, Uh, they were not cooler heads. And then apparently cooler heads prevailed and Tony decided, Okay, well you know this is my idea, but obviously you got to run it by Jeff you know, are you willing to consider rehab? Because I think if Jeff said no, they just fired him. I don't know that for sure, but this seems to be something that they that they discussed together. Matt Hardy tweeted, it was disheartening to hear the news

about my brother yesterday. Recovery is not a linear process. I will continue to do whatever I can't help my brother be healthy. Being healthy and well is the most important thing for Jeff, his wife, his children, and our family. At this time. Footage of his arrest was released. TMZ first to publish the video, which shows three police officers drawing their guns. An officer can be seen approaching the passenger side door of the vehicle, quickly pointing his firearms

toward Hardy in the driver's seat. A second officer approaches with his gun drawn as well. A third officer approaches before Jeff exits the car. We got several calls on you, an officer can be heard saying, do you know why we might have gotten some calls? You were all over the road. What's going on with that, the officer asked,

before saying he could not hear Hardy's response. Officer would later say they got three or four nine one one calls before all reporting Hardy's driving hard He mentioned that he has a doctor's appointment upcoming new a brain scan. Later in the video, he admits to having drank shots of fireball before getting behind the wheel. At the end of the video, one of the officers informs Hardy that he is under arrest, notes the time is ninety five a m arrest records show he was booked at twelve

forty five later in the day. So this was nine nine fifty four in the morning. I thought the earlier reports were that it was like in the middle of like late at night or something like that. This is nine nine fifty four am apparently, So he was arrested. He was put in jail point to nine four point to nine four that's almost quadruple the legal limit, facing charges of d u I, driving with a suspended license, violating an interlock restriction, which, by the way, how do

you do that? How do you get into the car? Jeff's third d u I arrest since mailed out at h on a bond and quite frankly, I mean he's not in the ladder match tonight and uh Discovery was told to quote stop all promotion of Jeff Hardy in any commercials or anywhere else. Immediately, we'll get Mike Stots after the break, he has any back in a moment of overly nobody. Next, you're listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Albarez and Mike Semperviv on the Sports Byline

Broadcasting Network. Mike Semperviva as a former bar manager or maybe currently. I don't even know how much you got to drink to blow a point to nine four. Let's just say he's like two hundred pounds. I mean there's a liquor liquor store business mostly, but yeah, bars bars as well. But like if he's two hundred pounds, I mean that's like drinking like twelve or fifteen shots or twelve or fifteen twelve pounds beers in like an hour to get up to that level. Like he was obviously

in a stupor. They had to pull weapons and they said to actually use that term he was in a stupor. I mean, that's let's like, that's I think that I don't know if it's the it's the accepted term. I don't know if it's a legal term. But that's where you're at. And to be honest, where you go after that, like point three five with a guy with a lot of mileage on him, that can kill you like it, it can absolutely kill you. Once you get to point four,

it's absolutely going to kill you. That's how close this guy was. And I didn't also realize until just before we went on the air that this was in the morning, which doesn't really make a difference except for the fact that watching the cars go by on the busy highway and the tractor trailers and everything, it's like it could have been a horrible tragedy and it's happened too many times over and over again. And I know Matt said, he's exactly right. It is not linear. Recovery is not linear.

Recovery is different for everybody. But there's a line in there where it says it only works if you work it. And Jeff Hardy has several times said no, I'm good, I'm not going to work it. I'm fine. He is not fine, and he needs to get to help his employment for a w rides on that. I don't know whether he'll care about that or not. He's got a history really not caring about that, but we'll see. We'll also see if he ends up in Tijuana. I guess he's not going to be in Tijuana this weekend for

Triple A. I would I would think not. I would hope not. I want to talking about the issue that he was telling the officers he had to go for a brain scan. You gotta go to a for a brain scan, but you're doing a ladder met your schedule for a ladder match on Wednesday. There's a lot of people, and I know people are gonna jump all over a W and a W is the one where it's it's uh, the most public. But dude, there's a lot of injuries

all over this business at every major company. I don't want to say that people are like hiding their injuries, but they're definitely people. Actually, I will say that they're people hiding their injuries. And there are other injuries that have come out, and uh, there's just a lot of badly beat up people. And uh, I think that every company needs to take better care in the sense of that if someone has clearly hurt, don't book them. Don't ask them, just don't book them. If you ask them,

they're gonna they're gonna want to do. It just feels like pretty much say no, I don't mean to jump on the box. I guess I am jumping on the box. Like you got your match with the Hardy Boys, they won, you have them when cool, You got to live your your dream and that was awesome, but like it probably should have happened as soon as the Heartys went in there.

But okay, hindsights, you had the match, Like these are issues, aren't new on top of the fact that they're not fresh, And what does that have to do with the Bucks? Because why are they having a ladder match? Well, this has nothing to do with the Bucks. Tony is the one that booked the match. Okay, well Tony then, I guess I'll ben I'll put it all on Tony then. But like, shouldn't somebody step up and go, okay, we

we had the match. That was cool, Like exit stage left for a while until either you're ready to come back or whatever. Because they got a zillion teams that are more effective than the heart he is anyway that they're not using. I just think we had the match. We got it out of the way. It should have been over at double or nothing. That's me we've uh oh this yeah, the well we were talking about the ladder matches not taking place. On a completely different note,

changing gears. You can come back to this later if you want to. But I cannot believe my eyes when I saw this one, and thank god Lances on the show at too Pacific five Eastern so I can get his thoughts. The unique and infamous reverse Battle Royal is returning for Sunday's Impact Slam. Anversary first announced in two thousand six as part of the Fight for the Right tournament.

The match as part of the Fight for a Hat on a Hat, which earned Worst Worked Match honors in that year's Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards, featured three parts eighteen wrestlers start outside the ring with the goal of getting into the ring. After the first seven men get into the ring, everyone else is eliminated, and the rules then become a conventional Battle Royal. When the match gets down to two men, it becomes a single match. It is unknown if Impact will stick to the same rules this

time around. The match will be on the Free Slam Anniversary pre share. At least you have to pay for it. You know what I gotta say, I gotta say two things right here. It's Slam Aversary, so that's why they're doing a reverse Battle Royal. They want no tradition. I guess, yes, exactly. It's Slam Anversary. So it's an anniversary show, and clearly they want to go back into the past and pick some match that hasn't been done out of the archives.

But you know, there's like other stupid matches they did. But that's the problem. But that's the the legacy of Impact. There's a lot of those stupid matches that they ended up doing. I mean, we're going to bring why didn't they do King of the Mountain? Why did they do the barbed wire Christmas Tree match? Easy? Easy, Anthem has got a long term investment here. They don't worry. There would be plenty of time to bring back those things, the Hard ten tournament, the thing where homicide climb up

because of whatever, and actually and whatnot. I'm sorry they are doing a a King of the Mountain match, but it's a Queen of the Mountain match with the women. They got Queen of the Mountain, they got Ultimate x uh, they got Monsters Ball. Is Teren Terrell coming back? Honor no More? And yes, the reverse Battle with Bro. A barbed wire Christmas Tree match would have been way better because all you have to do it's just like a barbed wire Christmas Tree. It's just a hardcore match. But

this this stupid reverse battle. But you know what, you know what, But I can't believe I'm gonna defend it. But I'm gonna, of course. And this is not because I like Lance. I'm actually disgusted that he okay this, even though it probably wasn't his call at all. But

here's my one defense of this match. All right, Were we not just talking about Jeff Hardy and how banged up and injured he is, and how he has a brain scan schedule and then he gets booked in a ladder match, and how I said there's people in every single promotion that are working hurt, that are hiding injuries, that are banged up. Remember what I'm just talking about, that we didn't take better care of people. I do

well as God is my witness. And I don't know where this took place, but I got a I got a d M the other day because apparently on one of the other shows we were talking about a stupid the Reverse Battle Royal was I don't even know why we were talking about it. I think it might have been because we were celebrating my birthday and I was noting that Vinnie's birthday is uh October and I always remember because there was a horrible ten A pay per view on ten ten ten that he was forced to

watch on his birthday. So we might have been talking about the Reverse Battle Royal then, But or this person says the Dominion Review. Anyway, the point doesn't matter. The point is we were talking about another show, and then some bloke deemed me and he said, dude, quit talking trash about the Reverse Battle Royal because I was in one this weekend and it was the easiest pay day I ever got. So at the end of the day, we got a match here. Nobody's gonna get hurt. You're

literally fighting to try to get into a ring. It's easy. Take care of somebodies, and hey, that's what this business about, right, take care of each other. Take care of yourself. Protect yourself at all times. They say that in mm A, but for some reason people haven't figured that out in the fake one. Protect yourself at all times. Yeah, I

can respect that. I can absolutely respect that. Now the only problem is, though, you know, there's only so many times somebody can do the you know, in the crowd stealing the beer or the soda gimmick, you know what I mean, Like they're gonna have to parse that out there with all those What does this have to do with the Reverse Battle Royal because they're gonna be outside the ring. Yeah, but they're not gonna be in the crowd.

You're just at ringside. You're just a side pretending like you can't get into a ring, which is so dumb. Who's going to be on the announcing team that ends up getting in? Because that happens every time there's one of these things. I don't know, but you know what, if I had to work the match Slammiversary and my options were I don't think my option be Queen of the Mountain, but barbed Wire Crystal Ultimate X where I could almost kill myself, Monster's Ball where I could almost

kill myself. Yeah, if they had a barbed wire Christmas Tree match, I could get jabbed and punctured with barbed wire or a Reverse Battle Royal. Tell you which one I'm picking, especially if I get paid the same. I'm not here for five star ratings. In the Observer, everybody. I'm here to have fun and get paid and not

get hurt, not drop anybody on their head. Yes, yes, m GF and I could have had the match of a lifetime, except Who's gonna be the heel SmackDown one million viewers on Fox, down one percent from the previous week, point four four rating in eighteen forty nine, fourth among network TV programming trailing different programs all related to the NBA Finals. Guys, listen, I don't watch sports, Okay, I don't.

You're welcome to make fun of me, but bro, dude, yes, it's not even like Oh, the NBA season has been going on since March. The NBA Finals, the finals March April May, four months. What kind of finals take four months? Well, Brian, I think even more amazing to you, or what should be, is the fact that the Stanley Cup Finals, you know, Canada sport, winter sport, they'll be taking place and finishing up way after the NBA Finals are done. That's my back.

At the you were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Albarez and Mike Semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. He looks don't get my point. What the word playoff, the very word playoff, that word, that word indicates a finality, the end, the end of a road, have the end of the road. Yeah, it's the finals. I realized that. But dude, these playoffs we're going for four months. We

just called the season. You do the season, and then you do the playoffs, which should be like two three weeks, and then you do the finals. Instead, this person like, well, you got sixteen teams doing a best of seven. It's like that sounds like a season. It doesn't sound like, how long's this season? Eighteen months? We've got an eighteen month season, then five months of playoffs, biting about taking place in a w For sakes, you stop it. You

know nothing about sports. Stop it. You're gonna just completely ruined the name of the byeline. Stop it, go Warriors. I wasn't hired my sports byeline to talk sports. We know that that's Tittle's job. Does a great job. Sick of these I'm sick of these playoffs, that's my point. I'm sick of Maybe the playoffs are sick of you, Brian. Get him over with, get him over this report, and we can move on to the NHL season to be happy, I'd be happy to talk about Yeah it is, isn't it.

Finally we agree the NHL, NBA, and Major League Baseball should all cut games, and they all will not because it's a lot of money lost. And you know, these these playoffs are like you know that The Return of the King. They the movie ended like nine times. People are like, Bros, this movie over yet, Dude, We've seen the It's ended eight times already. How many endings do we need? That's what I feel like when I hear about these playoffs. Oh the playoffs still going on? Dude.

These playoffs started before COVID. This is the Lazarus issue in your life that you know continues to nippy your achiller. Don't even get me started on Magic the Gathering. What I had to talk about that yesterday? Oh my god, playoffs are awesome. Get out of here. Miss TV opened up with Paul Hayman and long story short, out came Riddle and they've added his stipulation. If Riddle beats Roman Reigns in the championship match, he becomes the champion. Could

you believe it? Wow? But if he loses, he can never challenge for the title again. As long as Roman reigns as the champion. Vince really did revolutionize the business, didn't they. I don't buy this step for a moment, but that's what they said that led us to Jimmy USO versus montez Ford and uh, the match was all right, but the finish is just idiotic. So it's the usual w w E deal. No one's allowed to beat the USOS, So we need to set up challengers who nobody believes

are gonna win. But we can't convince you that they'll win by actually letting them beat the USOS. I gotta win by count out last week, by the skin of their teeth, and then this week we're gonna do singles match and then Jimmy USO beats Montes for it. What a geek, these three prophets, God bless them. They are absolute geeks. They cannot, for the life of them, beat the USOS. But they're gonna be getting a tag team title match, and look, I am supposed to believe they

can win. I don't want to draw this out, but I just want to throw this in here because the person, you know, the person that I'm talking to here, who said, well, what if Angelo beats JA next week. The USO's never lose. Why do you have to do fifty fifty with them anyway? After a decade of the USO's being the USOS, why can you not just have a victory last week, a clean win, and then this week you actually get a victory. Who cares? If right now Montez's mining, so you want

to give Angelo Dawkins? And when next week? Why do you need fifty fifty booking here? When the USOS are as strong as they are? Who cares? I'll bet you here on the air five dollars that there is no chance the Dawkins gets to win next week like a pinfall. He may get like a distraction count out or a d Q win, but there ain't no way next week he's getting a pinfall. I'll bet you five bucks right now.

I wouldn't take that that because with how they've been booked, with how they think this is an actual good thing, I would believe it. I think it's probably gonna happen your way. This person is making fun of me for doing five bucks. I'm afraid if I bet like fifty bucks, they'll they'll do that finish just to take money out of my pocket exactly will be side bets on your action seth Rawlins did an interview and uh, this bloke needs to quit watching Joker before I lose my mind,

laughing like an idiot and talks about Cody. He meant every word he said, but at the same time he's happy that he, you know, destroyed the guy afterwards with a sledgehammer, and he plans to win money in the bank after he beats aj Styles. Tonight, they actually announced they actually build Becky Lynch versus Dana Brook for seven title. So Becky comes out and speaking of geeks, she absolutely beats the living hell out of Dana Brooke before the

match starts. She kills her, she mocks her, she ridicules her championship, and then she goes to beat her up again and Oscar runs down and Aska actually did a great, uh fiery come back and sent Becky packing. But yeah, Becky walking out there was great, and it was how beneath her everything was. And then for her to get out of the way that she did. It's a way out of this thing, which was a way to do things, that's for sure. No darkness m twenty one Rawlins gimmick

is not good. It sucks. It absolutely sucks. Okay, Alexa Bliss and Live Morrigan versus dow Drop and Nicki Ash. They've totally dropped the Nicki Ash do Drop storyline where do Drop wanted her to be serious and stop being a clown. She's out there is superhero. She gets beat and uh Alexa and Live Morrigan qualified from money in the bank and uh zero follow up to this stew Drop nicki Ash thing, Ezekiel Kevin Owens got eight minutes

good match, because yes, Kevin Owens is involved. And as much as I hate these absolute stupid finishes they do in w W E, I have to admit that when Kevin Owens ends up outside and he hears one of the announcers calling him Ezekiel, and he jumps up on the table and he starts screaming at them. This guy's name is Elias. His name isn't Ezekiel, He's a Lias. Why do you guys? And all of sudden the bell

rings because he got counted out. That was a good count out, and so he's absolutely furious and he storms backstage and then Ezekiel cuts a promo and he says, you know what, I talked to my brother Elias, and he's gonna be here next week for a concert. You know, I wasn't thinking that they were going to do this, but apparently they are. They're gonna put a fake beard on Elias and a fake wig and uh and he's gonna play his He's gonna Apparently they're gonna do a

wig and a beard. It sounds like which, of course the problem is then Kevin Owens can't really do anything because there's no way they can get the wig and the beard on so it won't fall off during a brawl. I mean, maybe they can, but I'm skeptical. Well the wonders of c g I and those types of but they can't do the deal. I'm hoping they actually do the deal. Where Lisa's in the ring for the concert, they cut backstage, Kevin Owens is rushing out to beat him up, and then uh Ezekiel hits him with a

guitar and lays him out. So you know, we have an appearance by both of them here in the Hall of Austin. I think so he should be. If not, he's going to be before too long. We had m v P being Cedric Alexander. That's what happened. Then we have a J Styles due to promo, which led to seth Rawlins versus AJ Styles. They went fifteen minutes and

Bro this match was awesome. They had a great pro wrestling match and a J is doing all of his high spots, but then his leg gets cut off, not actually you know cut off, but you know what I'm saying. And then finally they do all their near faults. At the end, Rawlin mss the frog Splash Styles goes for the clash Rawlins counters it, grabs the bad leg, pins him. This was a great match, and seth one clean and he is going to money in the bank and poor a J is not. We pulled off mad Dog with

Shawn's leg? Was that Kevin Nash? Yes, we had Riddle versus Chomp. They only got four minutes and poor Chump didn't even get an entrance. But man, for those four minutes and thirty five seconds they had a good match and uh find only at the end Riddle hits the floating bro hits him of the r k O pins him. Uh. This was this was good action. A lot of good

action on this show. Wrestling wise, we had a Bianca interview which led to Ria Ripley cutting a promo and this was actually one of the best promos Re has ever cut in w w E. She actually cut a very very good promo and they're doing everything they can to build up Real Ripley Bianca bell Air and uh could be a title change. The actually could do a title change here. I guess we'll see. But this was

a good interview. Chad Gable beat Ali. They only got three minutes, but it was a very very good three minutes. Chaos theory suplex. After distraction from Otis, Chad Gable gets the win. Hopefully Ali is continuing on with his mindset of who cares, just go make my money because uh, if he's thinking, if he's overthinking it, he's gonna be in a crabby mood. Vir Mahan beat Ray Mysterio b dominic outside put him in the cervical clutch. Submitted this,

poor bloke, what clothes line? What are you talking about? You didn't see the clothes line that he missed. When Mysterio he went to the wrong side, He's got his right arm out like this. Mysterio goes by to the left. He winged around and to throw the clothesline. You didn't see that. I missed that one. Oh man, I did see what. He tried the gut buster and dropped and raised jaw right on his knee. That looked like it sucked. Next week, Becky Lynch versus Oscar Women's money to make qualifier.

Elias will do his concert and that's all we know about the show. And then the main event. Bro, I cannot believe my eyes. It's a pose down. You ever see those uh ahmember when Vince was getting the lap dance from Sable and they used these, you know, pictures all over the internet for memes. Dude, we had the same thing backstage for this pose down. Stacy Stay, whoever? What is up with this? Evince? What a weird guy. Anyway, they have a pose down and they're out there flexing

their muscles. They're all oiled up and flexing their muscles. I'm like, this is the main event of raw, these dudes flexing their muscles while covered into oil muscles. Where is my daughter vascular? I'll never I'll never forget when my six year old daughter walked in one day and Randy Orton was just making an entrance. All even do was making an entrance, and her exact words were, why is he flaunting his naked body? And then she walked out disgusted. I imagine if she'd seen this. They flex

and they, you know, flaunt their naked bodies. And then you're right over there. What are you raising her own little house on the prairie? I mean, where is she kidding? Why is she busting in with such a puritan thought in her mind? Just kicking the door open like daddy father? Why is this man in such a state of undress showing off his body? And then storms out, where are my captain? Crunch? You should hear what these children say. Don't you remember having children? I got one. Yes, they

say the weirdest things. There was even a TV show about it. Anyway, the darndest, I guess, and then theories he squirts go all over Bobby Lashly and then uh cut him right in the eye. You don't want to do that. People get upset with you when you do that. God, I'd be careful when you scut that stuff. This segment was bizarre. It's supposed to make me want to see him wrestle. Anyway, we didn't actually advertise this as the

main event either. They just kept saying, I wonder why one guy was excited for this to be the main of in it's coming up later, that's all they said. So and for one guy, I bet she it did. I did like too. There was a little slip up where, uh, I'll say Adam Pierce said, I think he when he was trying to say podium, he said posium, And actually I think it was called the posium. It should be called the posium, Like is that an official term? Like the most muscular, which pops me every time? That's the

most muscular? So ridiculous. It's great. Bodybuilding is ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Joe Weder listen. I I was all about working out and everything like that, but bodybuilding is weird, especially competitions Ronnie Coleman arms, especially because like what I was, Actually, I get those bodybuilding magazines and I look at like the Olympia, and it's like they all look exactly the same.

You know what I'm saying. Yes, back at a moment of Deserver Alive, taking that love that you were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and Mike Semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting network. God, the chat talk about bodybuilding. I didn't know we had a bunch of Olympians in there. Oh yeah, or Mr Olympias. Have you ever seen that lineup? And it's like there's five there's five men left in Mr Olympia mm hmm. And it's

like they all look exactly the same. Yeah, and then there's like, well, his, he's got deeper striations in his buttocks? He does? They all look striated to me? Oh? Well his uh you know his shoulder to waste ratio is better than bobs. Well, yeah, he's got whiter shoulders. He was born that way. He didn't get that in the gym. He was born with smaller a smaller hip structure and a whiter shoulder structure. You ever see one of those guys who have the split down their biceps, They actually

have a natural split. I got one right there. Look at that? Huh yeah? Can you switch the camera? My arm hurts? Here we go, Hi, look at that? Look at my insertion point? See that right there? I don't need to see your insertion point. Well, anyway, I would have come in third last night, easy, easy, no way, no way, dude. Byron Saxon would have jumped off from behind that table and Byron Sax didn't get out of here. Why do you think they like Byron? Byron's a good

looking guy, looks fantastic in a suit. Dud's got it too, all flex stuff and everything. He's a Vince guy like that. Byron Saxton. Yeah, Hey, we're anny everybody.
