AEW and WWE PPV Weekend Breakdown

We're gonna talk about both paper views w W E and a e W and then unfortunately we have to talk about the scrum and though, which is a when all the press asked their questions, and unfortunately this week, all the questions were more gossip driven in real life than storyline driven, which some people may think is good, but I think as horrible as always is my amazing co host, Jeff Died Toboddy, it was awesome getting to spend Saturday with you, same brother, had a good time

and watch Clash at the Castle and it was just two bros. It was it was a good time to watch. I was love hanging out with you and I love watching wrestling. But it's it's unusual when it starts at ten am. You know, that's like, that's new for me to get up at nine and go alright, I gotta get ready for this wrestling pay per view. That was that was the only usual for Cardiff. Won't you switch your hours? Cardiff? You're bother. You're you're messing with our

with our circadian rhythms. Couldn't you guys pray record it and then put it out later you know, when people are awake and don't post anything, so it gets spoiled a normal time. Um, shout out to everyone from Cardiff. Sorry that Jeff and I did the great Britain Cardiff thing. We know you guys are your own people. Jeff, would you like to hear a word in uh in Welsh? That uh that I'm not even joking about it. I actually speak one word of welf. Would you like to

hear it? I would love to hear. Yeah, let's hear it. It's posh wobbly wobbly. Would you like to know what that means? Yeah, but I'm nervous because it sounds weird. That's how you say jellyfish and welch. Why would you

ever need to learn jellyfish and welch? Well, I saw it on a TV show, so I just stuck in my head and I don't it was years ago, but it's true fish and you know, wobbly, wobbly is that if I'm learning the language, jellyfish is not even in the top three thousand words I'm gonna need to know. And you started with jellyfish for well, what if you get stung by one and you know you need someone to pee on you and they just think you're a creep because you're on you, but you can't tell them why.

There you go. I guess you figured it out. It's still a pretty unlikely situation. Usually be where's the bathrooms? Do you know where the hotel is? Things like that, But my dad had a whole bit on that in the seventies. I thought this show opened really, really cool because it started with the ladies. We had three on three and Bailey was clearly the winner, even though there were shenanigans. But who cares about the match? This means that it's gonna be Bailey versus Bianca bell Air one

on one. They're gonna build up to this and one percent Bailey is getting the title wrapped around her. She's too good on the mic right now, She's better on the mic than Bianca right now, right now, and the healed thing is working for that. Her minions EO and and Coda, they're both smaller than her. She has broad her shoulders, bigger hips, she's taller, she has more weight on her. They have they have positioned her so perfectly. I'm totally in love with Bailey right now and she's

going straight to the top. What say you, sir? Did the right team win? Yeah, I'm I'm surprised that they let them win so fast. I mean they just came back in SummerSlam. But like, like you just said, I agree with all those things. But there's nobody hotter than Bailey right now as far as like she's just she's just over with everybody. And she she looks great in the ring, She's good on the mic. I say give

it to her. It was a good match. It was actually a good match, and I'm very critical of the of of these types of matches, and I was great. I love this girl so much. Man. She came and did buy that pisodes of the A and E show that I host, Rivals Sundays on any and she was so cool. She has been a fan of wrestling since birth and a lot of the problem I think most people have with wrestling today is the recruiting process of it. Because the people they recruited that are a lot of

them are stars today. Didn't even grow up watching wrestling. They didn't care, they don't know the history. It's just a job for them. And the fans want someone who they believe is as passionate as they are, even if they're wrong, and the and the person who didn't watch it as a kid is crazy passionate, they would prefer someone that's like them, and that's who Bailey is. She grew up on this, she loves it. I love this girl.

We should have her as a guest. I think as a wrestling fan, you either want the rest are to be have have always been a wrestling fan like Bailey or a Jericho or the Young Bucks, or you want them to It's okay if you didn't watch wrestling grow up, just don't pretend you did. That's the worst. When ever, so I was a little I looked up to Page. You're like what you looked up to Page ever since you were little? I know you're young, but what are

you talking about? Like they'll like, they'll they'll act like they want you. Ever have people do that? Go oh you like wrestling? And you go yeah, and they go, oh, man, remember Ultimate Warrior? Like yes, I remember ultimately, you know, they always do pretend like they've watched their whole life and they can only name like macho man. Randy Savage is like, all right, I don't. We don't need to

have this conversation. It happens every time I have a guest on my podcast and they see those wrestling toys. They think I want to talk about wrestling with them, but they don't know a lot about wrestling. I'm just like, save it. I'll talk to Freddie about wrestling. You know, it's infinitely more than you know. Math teachers want to talk to guys like us about math. No, no, we

don't know what we're talking about when it comes to that. Yeah, my god, my daughter has a pre algebra like pre quiz and they said that here's how you can help him. And I literally was like, I don't. I can't help my dog. I need it. I need something that helps me understand this. I'd go on YouTube all these stupid videos on how to do algebra. We had Shamous and Gunther, Ok, well, just because they repeated the Friday Night Smack dumb bit

where they just stared at each other. But I just wanted to I just wanted to touch on it real quick because Shamus, who you and I both loved, he lost the match, but it was in Wales and there were a ton of Irish people there and they were giving him a ton of support. And I just want to give people a quick story and I've said a version of it like in season one, but just for any new listeners, why I love this guy so much

and you'll love this story. When I worked at w w E, Vince ran promo class, which was basically acting class, only he wasn't the best teacher. He would say things like, you gotta give me a little razzle dazzle while you're up there, and a wrestler literally in that very same moment, tapped me on my shoulder and said, why does razzle

dazzled me? So it was true. It was Trouble from Jump Street and one of the exercise exercises, one of the exercises that Vince wanted to do was he brought two wrestlers up and he would tell them each who were what they were, and then he would say, now make me want to watch you fight. And so it was Wade Barrett Shamus, who we all love. He's the whitest man in the world. You can see all his organs inside his body is sentin no one said. And they go out there and Vince looks them both dead

in the eye and he's not joking around. It's not a rape, he says, it's not a joke. He says, you're a dog, and you're a dog. Now make me want to watch you fight. And it's dead quiet, and thirty seconds go by. And while those thirty seconds go by, we want to thank you guys for your support, and we also want to say thank you for the ratings and all the five star reviews that you guys have given us. We appreciate that forty five seconds have gone by.

It feels like now a minute's gone by. And Shamus says the words out loud, I think I'm having an out to body experience. And the whole room, it's every wrestler, every every producer, the old school wrestlers that helped design the matches, and Vince, everyone, the camera. Everybody's in here and they're all laughing. And then it gets quiet again

because no one can say anything. And then all of a sudden, wait, Barrett, he had balls, man, but he didn't know what direction Vince wanted to go, And all of a sudden, you just here and Vince jumps up and he goes, not an actual dog, God damn it. And he just starts going off and I'm like, oh my god, this is the craziest acting class I've ever seen in my life. The actors haven't said anything yet, only the teacher has. And so right after that, I went up to Vince. I said, dude, you gotta let

me take over this promo class. This is not gonna work. I promise it's not gonna work. And before that he goes, hey, I want you to see what we're gonna do here, like she was excited for it, and it just died. It died a miserable death. But that's why I love Shamus so much. I can't imagine having to take a class where Vince is the teacher, Like he's the highest up, the last opinion, the guy that gets final say, the guy that ki boshes everything and green lights everything, and

he's your teacher. That would be a nightmare. And yeah, it's a class where a class is the opportunity to fail. You can't fail in front of the guy that fires you. Sunding like a dog. We've got a gay. He's John. He won't work on this company ever. Again. You're like, I don't know he told me to be a dog. I was just because of your Vince, your call on the next match. Do you want to do Mysterio with Edge and the Judgment day? Do you want to do

Rollins riddle? Do you want to do the Championship IT match? What do you want to do? Let's talk about them all. I mean, Rawlins retal match was awesome. The only criticism I had was that Seth Rawlins came out dressed like Elton John for no reason at all. But other than that, I don't I don't think Seth Rollins. I don't think he knows who his character is. Who did he come dressed at it John? Exactly what? He came out A man. I'm walking through the ring just as fast as I can.

It's just so confusing to me. I was like, I've never seen anyone I love commit harder to a gimmick I hate more than Seth Rawlins. He's even laugh and I hate the laugh, but he's great at it. I just love him mix so much. I think he's amazing. I love Seth I love his character. I love everything about him and the fact that he hasn't quit on this ridiculous gimmick. I'm not even I used to be mad at I'm not even mad anymore at this point. I'm like, you know that everyone hates it, and you

leaned into it. More so now I kind of respected. Regardless of the fact that he came out like Ellen John, they stole a whole show. I thought they had the best match of the night. I loved every single second of it, and I feel like that pretty much with every match seth Rawlins has. Not every match Riddle has. Every match seth Rawlins has. He's like the w w E s Brian Danielson, although they used to have their own Brian Danielson. I like the entire match. I think

that's the longest I've watched Matt Riddle wrestle. Really, I feel like I've might be the longest match they've ever given him. And you have someone like seth Rawlins who can legit goes sixty minutes. He has. We got to talk about mystereo and edge versus the Judgment day because you sent me a little video clip that is now all over the internet when this happens. So to set this up for everyone, there's a father son's storyline, raymis Stereo and his son Dominic and real father son and

Ray is you know, died in the Woo Luchador. He's full of so much pride and honor and and and just respect and you know that he tries to pour that into his son and the judgment Day are the bad guys in this story. There are a group that Edge created. Edge as a veteran superstar, Hall of Famer, good actor. Watch him on Vikings. He's done a bunch of other shows too, and he's great on the mic, really smart guy, good human being. And uh, they kick him out of the group because he's the old lion.

And these young lions Damian Priest, Rea Ripley and Finn Balor, and we love all three of these. They take over. But it all felt forced because it was all due to an injury. That's why Edge had to stop being a bad guy and become a good guy. So Jeff and I think we both felt the same way. There was something a little stiff there that wasn't working well. They made it all work, and I saw it on Monday Night Raw the continuation of the story, and they're

still making it work. They tell this story by they're beating up Dominic Mysterio, who's young, new to the business. He looks like he's sixteen years old, and they're crueled in. They just destroy and they got a woman beating him up, which is humiliating on on multiple levels now and everything

about it is just Dominic, Dominic, Dominic. So they have this match and Edge supports his friend raymis Stereo, and Dominic comes out to show love for his father, although he's not wrestling that night, and they have a tag match against Damien Priest and Finn Balor, and the match goes back and forth, and eventually they both do their

finisher moves together. Ray does the six one nine, which is an amazing acrobatic move where he swings his whole body in between two ropes, spins around and both feet boom hit the bag in the face and the bad guy falls backwards and turns around staggering and bam. It's called a spear and that's like a shoulder tackle in football. And the guy's down one, two, three, matches over. Yeah, good guys. Dominic gets in the ring. Yeah, my dad, he looks at Edge, the guy who helped his dad.

But it took Edge to help his dad because Dominic wasn't tough enough. And all of a sudden, you see this change in dominic face from love to hate and he kicks Edge. Jealousy is the right word, and he kicks Edge square in the balls and Edged like for me, it was a great acting moment because most people, just when you see it in movies, they drop their head

and fall to the ground. He drops to his knees and looks up at Dominic like dude, what and then just drops And then we get the great moment where Dominic looks at his dad and it's like, yeah, I'm sorry. His dad's trying to calm him down, dude, what are you doing. That's Edge. He's like a brother, and Dominic's like, yeah, you're right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and then lam he just nails him with a clothes line up, just a forearm right across the throat. Jeff, tell the people why

this is so relevant. It's uh a the same story in a way. It's the same finishing story of when when Eddie Guerrero turned on Ray Masterio and also someone tweeted me Batista also is that. I don't know if that's but it's like Raymisterio, if you're gonna turn on Raymisterio, you give him that clothes line and also a beautiful clothes line. It was like the clothes line from Hell that that LBJ used to use from And also the

reason I liked that this happened. And this might sound a little harsh, but Dominique hasn't done anything remotely hard since he's been introduced for interesting. He just gets beat up by Ria Ripley, he uh, which makes him look so weak in my opinion, like she like beats him up backstage, pulls him out all bloody, she beats him up in front of the fans. Even in this match,

she's slamming Dominique around. We're getting some sort of point of view or perspective from from dominic Is is exciting because if he didn't do something soon, I don't think he's gonna be on TV anymore. A lot of nepotism going on keeping that guy around. I think you're dead on with with the way you broke that down. And I don't know if you saw last night's Monday Night Raw but he came out all in black, black shirt, button to the collar, hair slicked back, and he was

not having it. Man Like, he finally looked interesting and I think they got a chance to really get this right. Um, So everybody got over in this segment. I loved it, you and I love everyone in it, and we were relieved to finally see Dominic get an opportunity to be interesting and be compelling, because I honest, I'm with you, I didn't think he was going to be did you? Uh you want to talk about the mask? Edge war

out to the ring devil man? Come on, look, I have over a thousand let our masks, so I have something that are way crazier than that. I'll grab one and show you on on camera after the podcast. So I'm not mad at it, dude, I actually loved it. Did you think it was corny? I said, I hated that mask, But you were like so excited when he came out. You were like, oh, so, oh do you think he wrestles in it? Do you think he wrestles in it? I was like, I don't know if he's

got and he took it off. Pretty loved it, like I wanted him to give it to Dominic, and I like that you liked it, so anyway, it was this is actually a really nice story. Now that's shaping up. I think they saved this. I think they saved Judgment Day by doing this. I think Ria Ripley has really emerged as the leader of the group, which is awesome. She's getting better on the mic each week and looks crazy confident out there, like she looks as if she feels she can do no wrong. I'm sure that's not

the case. She probably has insecurities like any human, but she is killing it right now. So shout out to that whole group. Man. I thought it was a strange thing to add Dominic to the Judgment Day. I thought that was unusual. Watch Monday in Ira if you haven't, because I thought it looked really cool. I thought he really fit in. Well, it was like they just were beating him up. They just beat him up. But think about this, Mancy, I grew up. I'm a little older

than you. When I was coming up, guys got ranked into gangs, and the way you got ranked in was they all beat the ship out of you, and if you were still cool with them after that, then you were in the gang, which meant you were never getting beat up again. So that's what it felt to me when he came out on Monday night Raw. So that's maybe if I if I can, maybe I'm over selling it. But if I can sell it to you that way, I will. That makes sense, all right? Main event, Main event,

Main event. The entire world was convinced that the young boy from from Scotland, Drew Galloway. It was wrestled since he was fourteen years old, you know, little Lee Jim in Edinburgh. I don't know if that's where it was. Um wrestled all over Europe, one titles everywhere. As a young man comes to the w W E and Vince when I was at the company, mind you, and Vince comes out and deems him the golden one and he's

going to be the next guy. And then every single week of TV he would get the same note right before he would have to go on camera, and it was try not to have a Scottish accent, which is the most horrible note that you could ever give a human being in their life, especially right before they're going in on live or tape television or backstage segment. And it was the only thing in his head, and I would tell him two words after that all the time,

say supreme confidence, through supreme confidence. Come on, man, don't listen to that nonsense. Supreme uh no MOC. And I said you could sound like, oh, I remember, I said, you don't think Braveheart made a bazillion dollars nobody freaking cares. And he's like, well, my boss cares. And I was like, and that's like a tough argument to make, So it

was real tough on his kid. He eventually got let go and he had to kind of discover himself through other promotions like t n A. I think he went to Japan for a little bit, and then eventually he becomes this huge star in these companies. He's grown into his body. It's got a magnum p I hairy chest, sweet beard, sweet finishing move which are these? He got six six like to sixty and he's not all chest. The lots legs and that's what he uses for his

finish shirts is like flying drop kick. It looks like a man and Lee Chun lee flying through this guy and the w W E brings him back. And for those of you who aren't familiar with him and not that familiar with wrestling when the pandemic hit. This was the man they gave the title to in a time when there were no fans. They prerecorded his match. He knew he was champion for a month before the rest

of the world did, and he couldn't tell anyone. So of course he's gonna win the match in Cardiff, Wales where tons of Scotsman and Scott's women have all come to watch their guy go and the match starts. Mr Dye, there weren't as many chops, no, watch them made me happy. Yeah, Were you convinced of a drew of a Drew victory? Yeah, I thought for sure. And then they kept being like some close pins where I was like, I was actually getting like, oh, like like I'll be going if they

do this to me again, you know. I was just like because I was like, there's an I'm sure it's going to be drew when ends. But but every time they'd be like a big move by Roman or like a pin or whatever, I would go there, there's a one percent chance here that they're gonna screw me. There's a one percent chance they're gonna do it to me again. Where they put Roman over and Roman walks out of it. I was like, there's just I don't there's signs to say.

If Roman wins, we riot, you know, and I'm thinking the same thing, same thing. I'm thinking the same thing, and uh I I thought there was no chance, no chance in hell. Well let's talk about why we were both wrong. They took a big risk and sacrificed a lot of the drewmack entire story, although that ended up happening anyway when they forgot to cut the feed, but they brought out a new cousin of Roman reigns since they did like that, and Paul Hayman couldn't be there.

I have not seen him cut a promo, so I don't know if he can cut one. But it's a big risk to put on the guy. It could be a place for Drew to go, so he could hand you know, fight the reason that he got screwed, but then he would have to lose that story so that Sokola's character wins and becomes credible. But there was interference from this dude and Drew ends up losing the match, and then Tyson Oh and at one point Austin Thury tried to cash in and Tyson Fury knocked him out,

but that's not important. The end of the match was weird because they forgot to say cut and then and I know this for a fact. I asked a couple of people and they left the feed running and all of a sudden, Drew McIntyre was feeling good that Tyson Fury came out to the ring and Jeff they sang Sweet Caroline after a loss. It was so weird. Was it felt like some weird house show the singing I

could do. Basically they thought they were cut. Yeah. It was so corny and so stupid, and it made Fury end mc tyre look weird and unusual after a big loss like that. The match was so good. I loved every part of match. I actually liked. They kept saying that Usso's didn't make the didn't make the travel. A lot of my friends were texting me like, well, they let Roman win so that the Rock can come back and will be the Rock versus Roman. But in my opinion, you don't need you don't need that to be a

championship match. I'm watching the Rock versus Roman anyway. You know, so you don't need Rock doesn't isn't gonna be champion again. That would just be weird. Just don't understand why they let Roman win that match. It makes no sense to me. And I said, and I this is a promise that if wrestling does this to me with the Roman reigns finished two d three hundred more times, I'm gonna stop watching. Well,

I can tell you a couple of things. You don't have to worry because it is now public knowledge that Roman has taken more of a not a part time contract, but not a champion contract. And you already know that killer crosses right there or sorry, carrying a cross, now carrying cross, the one that got away, Mr Dye, the one because he's not he's not carrying cross. He does not have Scarlett with him, Scarlett Bordeaux. They are not that, he does not have the evil macho man, Miss Elizabeth.

He is not carrying cross. And that is my prediction. Not Kevin Owens, who I would love to see. But maybe they could split the belts between the two men. But I think Drew is gonna probably have to lose to Sekoa before he can go after another title. So get ready for the one that got away, Jeff, when they got away, the one that got away from you. Yea yeah, yeah, it's too bad. Let's talk about a a W. I did not go to the hundred and seven degree dodgr game. My daughter and wife and their

friends went, and I ordered the paper peak. I don't like saying bad things. I will say this. I didn't enjoy a match until Keith Lee and and Swerve Strickland took on the acclaim got nervous and I match a few times. I did, Yeah, I did too. They. I thought they had a lot of really believable false finishes. One that double superplex off the top rope, which is what a superplex is. It looked like Keith Lee was gonna land on his head. I got so nervous about

it that he's just such a big fella. For those of you who don't know, Keith Lee is the largest man I've ever seen, just like a big He's as wide, he's as wide as he is tall, and then they're just happened to be arms and legs in the head on top of like a giant dining room table. Is basically what he looks like, like the dining room table from Beauty and the Beast When it comes alive in the cartoon, but a big like, yeah, that's Keith Lee. So shout out to them for saving the first part

of the show. And I'll give love to Chris Jericho and Brian Danielson because a lot of that led into this Daniel Garcia kid, who you and I have been talking about a little bit. Chris Jericho wins the match with some dirty, cheating Shenanigans, dirty dirty set of a bitch, and he goes backstage and he's talking to Daniel Garcia, who I'm starting to like, and he's saying, Yo, why weren't you out there? And He's like, I told you because too much I couldn't go out there, and I

just watched you cheat. Man, That's not that ain't what it's all about. And Jericho is like, all right, let's it's okay, but you're you're wrestling Wheeler. You to on Wednesday night. I believe it is. So it'll be tonight when you guys hear this podcast for the Ring of Honor Pure Championship and none of us are going to be there for you. You're gonna be there all alone. And he reacts to that, he says, yo, come on, man, like this is my foundation. He's like, yeah, well, now

you're gonna know how it feels. Peace. And they've really put this kid on an island and they're giving him this is a legit story for him to take advantage of and be something. So we'll know at the end of this if he has what it takes, because they're not booking this bad. They're booking this well, at least him. So I was happy to see that. Like I said, I'm trying to focus on the good things. By the way, I think that Alistair Black is gone. Did that not

look like a goodbye at the end of that? Yeah, and Malachi Black they call him, did that not look like goodbye? It looks like goodbye? And I say good Rittence, I've never been a fan. You're not a Malachi Black guy, not at all. What if he had the right what about what he was doing in n x T. Did you like that? Nope, didn't like And that's gonna take us to see him punk in the City of Chicago defeating John Moxley, which I think everyone knew was going

to happen. And then there was a ladder match earlier in the night that I thought was a mess and oh you thought it was a mess? I didn't like you. Did you like it? Yeah? I thought was awesome. All right, tell to tell everyone the good parts that you like. I like that kind of stuff, as we've mentioned a hundred times on this podcast, any kinds and dumpster and I also like the Lucador flying all over the place, like a running down the ramp and like doing a

Canadian and destroyer down the amazing. That was insane, Dude, that was cool, Like, how is no one like obsessed with this type of stuff. It was just a very very fun uh insane extreme kind of like brutal without a seeing blood kind of match. I loved it. I hate these matches. People get hurt, can't work, everybody's trying to outdo it, so it gets more dangerous every time when these matches gets done. I hate him so much. Not everybody's built like Kofi Kingston, and even he's starting

to get hurt. Um. I didn't like the end of this. It looked weird to me. I think that's Bivens from n x T, the manager. They call him Stokely, and he grabs this ring that's gonna get a chance like a poker chip. That's gonna get a championship match against the winner of Moxley and Punk. And then this masked man, the Joker, comes down, walks into the ring, even does a powerful spin, not some wimpy pirouette, but a power spin. Is a powerful man, but we don't know who he is.

He takes the chip from this manager and now we have to wait. He's about to take off his mask, but no, f you, I'm not taking off my mask. You have to wait. Well, we didn't have to wait long because after the match, the Joker comes out and it is m j F. The return of Maxwell Jacob Friedman, a man of taste style, the only man who's keeping Burbery in business. There is no better hell in the game. And he's not even thirty years old. He comes out now when But this is a question for you. Did

you know? Did you or the fans know that the Joker was m JF. Most people online felt it was because his body type, and a handful of people hoped it was bretty Why because you guys always wanted to be bratty? Why? Yeah, I think that's that's everybody in the world. But so I was wondering if this is maybe like my wrestling ignorance that like everyone knows the

it was MGF and I didn't. But when he did the power spin in the ring, it gave it away, and so I thought that was maybe another wrestler, thinking if I do that move, people will think it's m JF and I can swerve him. This should have been the return of m JF. He's going against CM Punk, which was the best storyline and wrestling in the last twenty frigging years, and because of a bunch of backstage bullshit, everybody's talking about guys that aren't even wrestling for the

frigging championship. They're not talking about this storyline. M JF was a frigging afterthought, which is disgusting. If they're just making all this up to get people to we gotta, you know, have a big media conference thing like UFC and get people to talk about it, and all this backstage fighting and calling people clowns and children. If this is a work that's they screwed up. That's just bad. That's bad writing, because everyone should be talking about MJF.

They should be talking about professional wrestlers, not goofy soap opera drama stuff. Backstage apparent see him Punk does not like a handful of people in the locker room, A large handful of people. And it seems like it's the young Bucks and Kenny Omega based off comments that he said talking about e vps executive vice presidents that should not be e vps because they behave like children. He said a lot of hardcore stuff. He sounds a lot

like well, he sounds a lot like John Cino. When seam Punk was the one saying a lot of ship that people didn't like. It just kinda weird. However, if these men, he said it, if you have a problem with me, come confront me. He needs to do the exact same thing. I hope he is. Apparently there was some confrontation backstage, which is I think the only good part of this whole thing, because hopefully they can just have the fist beat each other's ass and then it's done.

That's how men solve things. In the eighties and nineties, it just stopped one day. I don't know why. That's why we have these ongoing thirty year beefs now because nobody just gets craped. It's bad there, man, there's no leadership. He was saying stuff in front of his boss that was making Tony like cringe and and become the shrinking Violet and that's his boss. So there is no leadership backstage.

Things have to be a mess back there. They have to find someone that everyone universally respects that can not have a wrestler's court, but at least, or maybe that's what they need, is a wrestler's court. I mean they have one of their e vps, which is Adam Page said he doesn't need advice, he doesn't take advice. I know a lot of actors that talk like that in their in their twenties. And I'm like, yo, man is Peter Falk, You're like, not gonna met it. I'm gonna

do what what got me here? I'm like, all right, Doug, I don't know what's going on there, man. I have a couple of friends who worked there would just say it sucks backstage. But uh, but they need leadership or someone from the outside that is in a position of power above the e vps that ain't having this, or at least can bring people together and say have it out, like hash it out right now. And even if that means you guys gotta throw some punches, throw some punches.

I'll drive you to the doctor as soon as it's over. Like, I don't know what's going on there, but if they don't get their ship together, Triple H is gonna run

away with the wrestling business, run away with it. I wonder if Tony Komb being so young as part of the problem, the fact that see him Punk could sit right next to his boss and just say insane things, calling guys empty headed, saying that all the people that are in a w or young, you know, young idiots who don't listen, and like, like you just you've already

mentioned it. But he kept cringing, you know, like he would kept like looking and then he would even look over to like some of the reporters and kind of make like a face like I don't really know what

what's gonna be. Like Punk got away with murder on that like just wildly inappropriate to like say about your coworkers, and even if he's right, even if he's dead, on to bury your boss like that is listen, you know, I'm working hard to start my own promotion and to pull this off in a way that's different than these other guys. I would never have a post thing scrumb

because I don't care about that stuff. But if I did and one of my talent spoke like that and I was sitting right there, it wouldn't be in front of everybody. I wouldn't rip them apart in front of everyone, but I would stand up. I would say, the media scrum is over. Punk, You stay right there, or whoever it was, you sit right there. Everybody get out and in that room, he either isn't gonna or sheet either isn't gonna work there ever again, or they're gonna know

who their boss is. It's one of the they're walking out, getting fired or playing ball like even if he's right. Yeah, that was easy, and it stole all the all the limelight off the m JF c M punk storyline, which is what everybody should be talking about. The headline Monday morning should have been, oh my god, after the three matches they just gave us last year, what the hell is m JF and c mpunk gonna come up with now?

And nobody asked that question, not one person, because everybody's like, who he hates him and he hates him, and man, none of that's, none of that is wrestling, None of it's wrestling, and it sucks for everybody on that roster. I want a e W to succeed. I want all these companies to succeed. That's more money for pro wrestlers. That's more opportunity for pro wrestlers. That's more opportunities for fans to find the next star. Who's going to be the next one? Oh, I saw their first match like

that's a great feeling for wrestling fans. And when crap like this is going on, I've never seen it work for a company, So it makes me nervous. I know there's people out there saying, oh, this is exciting, Like that sucks. That's not what you want to be exciting. So I wish them the best. I hope for the best, and uh and that's all I got for you today, Jeff. Do you have any best or worst of the week. I think I just said my worst. I loved the

when see him Pug and Moxie. That was great. A little too bloody for my taste at some points, but it was it was. It was so so good, and what an exciting finish to have. M jf is the when he plays the voicemail and and also he didn't interrupt the match at all. It was just it was afterwards while seeam Punk's in the ring with the belt. I thought it was all perfect if you just erase that terrible interview that reminds you that some of these

guys can be very unlikable. Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you all for listening. We appreciate you guys. We'll see all of you next week on Wrestling with Pretty Listening with Gregs.
