SummerSlam Fallout

sending me out here. Freddy was very beautiful to watch the Summer Slam live and in person here in Nashville. We had a forty eight thousand people in attendance. Uh. If you believe in fake numbers, if you believe in real numbers, a lot less. But it's wrestling. We get to fudge the numbers. That's how it works. You know that that giant was eight foot tall, you know, nine million pounds. I got to watch it on lep a Cock that's French. I loved the show. I thought it

was great. I by the way, let's let's just get right into it. Let's start with with Becky and Bianca real quick. I'll say what I thought of it, But you got to actually be there, so I just want to know, like what that energy was like. But I loved this match. I thought Becky put Bianca over beautifully

the match they should have had. She somehow pulled off the crazy Becky even more effectively than Seth pulled off crazy Seth when they were both kind of going insane and their storylines at the same time, and maintained her evil wickedness. And then the match was over and here comes Bailey with EO SHIAI or Scott the Sky that they changed it. Yeah, she's gonna and and Dakota Kai. They came out with Bailey and Bailey wasn't having it.

The crowd seemed like they were hyped for her. And then she's like, nah, if you shut up, and she went right in the ring, which gave Becky this I don't think she's gonna turn face. I think she'll maintain like her her stone cold, badass heel kind of mentality. But she goes and gets Bianca's back, and it's like, yeah,

I thought it was a nice story. I I'm not saying I didn't like the crazy character she's been playing, but I felt I feel like it's gone on a little too long like most w W stories do, which is like Jericho changed his gimmick like every month because he didn't want those guys to like dead everything he does. So I hope this is kind of the evolution of her into the next phase and crazy Becky uh takes a break for a while and she's kind of like found herself character wise. Again, what a way to open

the show too. I love that they started the show and we're like, now everybody else has to match that, and I think that was egotistical competition healthy ego is It really sets a bar high and a lot look, not every story they told to get their work, but this one did, and the majority of that weight is on Becky. For sure. She's the more capable actor, she has more experience in the ring, she's the she's the veteran, and she's probably the most over female wrestling wrestler in

the business. I don't even know if you can argue right now. Yeah, I don't know if I feel like even in Japan they probably got big love for you know what I mean, even though Oska is probably their number one or whoever it is. But it's mostly on her, and I thought she did this beautifully, And like I said before, I hope it's the end of the story, not in a bad way. I just don't want them to beat it, beat it, beat it until you're like, oh my god, here's crazy Becky, and that can happen

at that company. But maybe not anymore. I'm not without Vincy, I think, because here's what, here's the tithing I noticed in the Thursday No Arc match. Like I said, no, but sure Becky and Bianca go out. They have a great match. It was exciting, it was all overs in the ring, is out of the ring. You got to see a lot of good stuff. Is pretty cool. Then the respectful finish with the handshake, which I liked. That also might seem like there's kind of an end of

a storyline there. And then when Bailey's when when that music hits and that stable comes out. Also that says Vince is gone, because my buddy that was with me said that they've pitched that stable to Vince before and he rejected it. Yeah, months ago, sorter with the scoop. See, I got in there. I'm doing my job. You get

you put me to work, I'm gonna work hard. So I guess they've pitched that stable to Vince before multiple times and as long as months ago, and Vince kept saying no, no, no. So what a way to start summerslant you just get like the most over wrestler and the most over female wrestler for sure, a great match, the finish that I think most people wanted, and then also you get like a big surprise return. That's that's

pretty fun, great, great open. You just reminded me some Can I tell you the coolest Eo Shari story ever? Of course? All right, so there was an episode of an XT and I don't think it was a TV show.

I think it was just a house show because this was like recorded on someone's phone and eosharizing a tag match and she's waiting for the hot tag to go in, and some racist prick in the crowd like just some a hole douche bag and so no business here, and you hear him yell go back to China, and she throws a look over her shoulder and she goes, I'm Japanese bitch, and then takes the tag and just and the whole crowd just swarms this guy verbally and just

owns him and clowns and like, oh, they're all over this poor bastard. He's like, I'm a racist piece of ship. Got on, it's such a beautiful, so good at racism. He doesn't even know the difference between all the Asian country is. Let's talk storytelling real quick. In the ring and out of the ring with Baron Corbin and Pat Pat McAfee. Celebrity matches are the hardest ones to pull off unless you're the miss. The miss can make everyone look at me and shout out to Logan Paul. Let's

get into that next. But my gosh, Logan was great. But this was a story where I felt, and we said this on the podcast, that Baron had to win or happy Corbin had to win. Of course, not not the Baron. He had to win. I didn't see how they could do it, and based off the story leading up,

I felt like that was the way to go. There was a point in the story building up to this where Corbin kicks McAfee dead in the balls and what they did in the finish for this match in order to get a guy who's not a wrestler and not a good fighter, and everyone knows Corbin is a good wrestler and actually a legit. He's a legit black belt in jiu jitsu, like he's one tournaments. He know, he

knows what time it is. Dude, He's no joke. So the only way to beat him would be for there to that have to be some sort of tomfoolery, some sort of evil evilness to go through. But the baby face can't do that, but he can get revenge. And so when the referee got hurt, a love and referees get hurt and the wrestlers have to turn their attention to the referee and he turns his back. McAfee gets revenge and gets a sweetball shot in there helps him

get the finish one to three. And I was actually like, yo, this was the one match I was gonna hate, and I totally bought the finish. Back in the old days when Josh Wolf and I were on Friends in the Wolf, everyone hated Logan Paul. This guy was going to suicide forests and making fun of people for one to kill themselves and then their life because they were in too much pain. Everyone hated this guy. And he was a kid, and kids do dumb stuff, and and I did dumb

stuff when I was a kid. But when you're streaming it all. All your mistakes are the biggest mistakes of your life. And I've watched this kid over the years grow up, not just as we all do in in age, but he's become more mature. And I've seen him do some interviews which I'm sure we're to change the narrative on him, but he seems to be walking to talk a lot more than than just talking it. And then he said he was gonna do w W E and everyone grown whether they growned, it was an inside green

like yeah, okay, good luck. Inside they're like, here we go, another celebrity map. That's how I felt. I was not. I have was in no way of rooting for Logan Paul in no way shape or for him. I'm fully for miss all day long. I didn't. I was like, I don't even know, I get why you're doing it, but come on, man, let wrestlers wrestle. I never and had a match you. I never even pitched myself in

a match because I don't feel we should. And then here comes this totally committed, good looking pretty jack and he's full on one throwing caution to the wind. That one jump he did outside the ring. I mean, he lands so stiff frog flash, I would have been in a hospital for three months if I would have landed like that, as hard as everyone's ever been on Logan Pole and rightfully so. He deserves so much respect for

the amount he committed. And I know he put in the time and energy because I know, miss I've known him over a decade, He's been a guest on this podcast. I saw him at Lexi's wedding like I know him. He sent videos to my kids and talk about me their father like I know. I know it. So I know Logan put in the time that earned you the respect of other professional wrestlers. I'm sure there'll always be some that don't want guys like that in there, but shout out to Logan Paul Man. I have so much

love for you. You brought everything, you left everything, and I can't wait. I hope the next story they do for you is is wonderful. I loved this match. I thought it was super good. When I said I wasn't rooting for Logan Paul, I meant at WrestleMania like I was like, gotta have this. But he impressed me so much at WrestleMania that I was like, Okay, all right, this is guy's doing the work. He's he's got a good size, good body, good character. I liked the costume.

I love the uh He's just got a great look, you know. And he saved Bruce Lee Black and Yellow. I was still not sold on Miss. Every time I see them, Miss, I go, it's the real world guy. I mean, how long is the Miss have to be in wrestling before I stopped talking about the real world.

The ms is a tricky thing. So there's two guys, one in stand up comedy and one in professional wrestling that have a very similar story, and that's the Miss and the oh Van and Josh told me about Theo's entrance into comedy and how most people just hated him because he was a guy from the real world, road rules and an outsider coming into their world, and a

lot of people treated him like crap. And he stayed true to his game and really worked at it and stayed hard and good and generous to people, and then he did well. And Josh always spoke well of that journey in that climb, and I remember him telling me that and being like, yo, that's like step for step. What happened to miss like people hated him in that locker room, didn't feel he deserved to be in there, to be in one of the most beloved dudes in

the company. I I'm telling you to this day, I'm not saying he's the best, but he's one of my all time favorites, just on his willingness to make anyone and everyone look great and his ability to do so.

He's not just willing his ability to make you. Like if I had a match with miss If, you wouldn't think because he would let me win, and you wouldn't think that I'd spend the next three months in traction, even though I clearly would, but it wouldn't be from anything he did to me, because he's just I love him, dude. I know he's not for everybody, but I love him and his work ethic is second to no. I feel like um when when he speaks, I don't believe anything.

I don't believe anything that comes. It's like, but he's supposed to do that, You're supposed to think. That's why I think it's so he's supposed to come off like a Hollywood fraud, fake scumbag that you just want to slap because everybody's doing the rustion of a wrestler is what it feels like, you know, it's like that. I

remember when he was on Real World. He was running around the house acting like he was the Rock and he's like that, I know, but that's what I still see when he's running around the ring, like, look, look, who wants to be a wrestler. Every show we do from now on, I'm gonna just hit you with like your first joke that you ever told on stage that just just reminds you of it every single week. Well I didn't put on teach damn. Well, I'll find someone

who recorded it. Don't make fun of people that don't need to be made fun of. Just keep that in front of your head, bro, and you're gonna be all right. Yeah, he's I'm I'm a fan. I'm a Logan Paul Bandwagon fan for sure. And I like that he put the frog splash in there, bringing the frog splashback. It's always been one of my favorite moves. I love the frog splash.

That's a smooth transition. Here comes another smooth transition to my favorite frog splash in the game right now, which is montez Ford, and that gets us to our tag match for last week. I was a bit confused as to why Jeff Jarrett was going to be the referee. Of course, at that moment I forgot that it was in Nashville, um, and so now it makes a whole lot of sense. He was also in two things for two different wrestling things on the same weekend. Confused a

lot of people. It did, It did, but he's he's a legend and free to go wherever he was. I still didn't think it was necessary to hap him as the ref But this, to me was the most interesting match, not going in although I was hyped to see it, but coming out because I thought they overplayed their hand

a bit. You know when you're playing poker or any kind of card game where you where you're having to like hide your cards and the other person you just know has you beat and they're overplaying it and you're like, dude, you're not getting it any more money out of me, man,

I fold you should have played that slow. They had Montez react negatively to what he felt were slow counts and show frustration so many times the way I a patented w w E heel shows frustration and not the baby face frustration, which he showed every other time in his whole WW career. I didn't want them to do this. I love tag team wrestling. Angelo's for sure not gonna turn hell, and I'm sure he'll be the victim of

Montez is turn. I don't know why you wouldn't keep Tedes a baby face because he's the He's just such a baby face to me. But they're doing this and they're committed all the way, and you're not talking me off this. I don't think you could see it in the arena because you're getting to see the whole match, But on on TV it's a close up of Montez like pist interesting yelling at the reff. That was not

how a baby face loses and expresses frustration. How the match played, it was very very good, and the energy for that was like jack the whole time, which I think the US are just good at doing that. All this just the energy and the whole place just coming out. They got a huge hype like it was. It was. It was very awesome. Why does wrestling do this? Why does wrestling break up good tag teams? And when we were young tag teams, A tag team forever and a

heel was a hell forever. Now they go baby face hell, baby face hell. Oh she switched back to a bad guy. Oh two weeks later, Oh no, she's actually a good guy, and now she's teaming up with someone she hated last month. They're always it's always a heel turn, face turn, and then breaking up good tag team tag teams. I don't

I don't understand it. Well, part of that is your generation's fault for loving the Attitude era so much, And that's why everybody switches back and forth every three months, because you tell every story in the universe in a three week time rame, so they so quick. So I blame you and everyone in their thirties. Otherwise, Vince's said this, I don't know publicly, but he certainly said it to every writer and producer in the room when we every time we fought for tag team, it's four men for

one match, and that's not cost effective. Every match he's paying two men or two women to wrestle for one match. Now it's he's doubling his cost and he's still only

getting one match. So it's never been a cost effective thing for him to legitimately invest in a tag team division, and if you look back, he sort of never has outside of like six months here and then three years no one cares, and then six months here and then three years no one cares, and they always break up the tag team to kind of end the tag team division, and then just two guys have it and a bunch of random guys team up once in a while to wrestle him until another tag team comes up, and then

they build them and then those two go and all of a sudden, yeah, there's a tag team division, and then they win the new title and the other team breaks up and one goes face and goes he and the division's gone again. But it seems like a good way to use your your locker room, because isn't a ton of wrestlers that are just sitting around and going when am I gonna get my thing? When am I

gonna get that? Was? That was the smart argument that a lot of the writers made, which was, well, you're not opposed to doing random you know, eight man tags, why can't we just build a tech And he's like, well, that's when we don't have story, and the writers like, yeah,

but we're we're giving stories. It's just so so you don't have to worry about that problem because here's twelve just for these two guys alone, and then this guy over here he wrote seven just for pri bow in Carlito like so, but it just never was a philosophy that that we could get through. And I don't know

if that will ever change. But I know with the amount of tag teams they have right now, between Street Profits, New Day and the USO's just those three, you have matches that people will watch and be compelled to watch all the time. And you can help build the less established ones if you really want to try with Otis and Gable and you want to try and and you know, give them some television time to say you feel they're worthy of it. You have three different teams to build

them on. But four men, one match, even though he's willing to do eight man tags every single week on Rock, I don't I don't mind it, Like I'm just I think again, going back to my childhood, like like I love a tag team. I love Ay, I love two dudes that dressed to like to do moves together, Foundation, the Four Horsemen, the Hardies, Edge, Oh wait, we gotta

talk Edge. I loved the pop when he came out to the old school Edge Fire entrance like oh, so I just if gang Grell would have been like dropping from the ceiling, like oh, it would have been amazing. But I love that and that was the biggest pop of that whole segment. Unfortunately the match didn't get that much love. But they really did have to tell this story on the fly, and it it is. It is what it is. You can tell great stories father Son's stories. They're not able to right now. But I think a

big part of that was due to injury. Um if it's not, then that's just on them. But I love seeing Edge come back. I love seeing him as a face. I want to see him destroy that faction that he built because I don't like that faction at all. I don't think it works. Yeah, I just I don't think it works. I don't think you can have uh devit Is or Finn balor as as the voice of that group.

And I don't know if Damian Priest is a dent there, although he's pretty dope on the mic man He's speaking Spanish and English and just flowing in and out of it, so I like him. I just don't know. Once they had to take the leader edge away. They should have just got disbanded the group and had them all turn on each other and figure something else up. Let's talk about the Bobby lash Let's talk Austin. Yeah, God, Bobby Lashley is even from the distance I was sitting, that

guy is a freak. Twe year old is in love with him. My twelve year old daughter is in love with them. She has a crush on him. She thinks he's the most gorgeous guy in the world. She just stares at the screen the way I stared at Tina Turner when I was her age when she received screen. She loves and she's open about it. She's like, that's my man right there, like she does not. She loves Bobby Lashly, so I in turn love Bobby Lashly. He is that big Who did you think was gonna win

this match? When when it started? I thought Bobby Lashly would win because Austin can afford to take that loss if he tries to cash in later that night. Who did you think was gonna win? That's what I thought would happen. And I was like, well, if Vince was still running things, I think Theory wins this match, And like that's his big whatever, and then we don't see him use the money in the bank for a little while. It felt like theory just got buried. That's what it

felt like to me. Don't you think that's okay considering the story they're trying to tell with him? Yeah, I mean I think anything's okay. I just it just felt like I was like, oh, this is interesting because now I'm so paralun I'm looking at everything through a lens of Vince isn't here anymore. I wonder if this is part of why, you know, so that's why. So that's

why I'm saying that. I hear you and Roman had a great promo where he said your Daddy's not here anymore, which is all the crowd started, gun who's your daddy? And on Q improvably goes, I'm your daddy and he just says it. So I think there could be something to that. However, I think the character of Austin theory getting humbled again and again and again can lead to a more malicious and a better heel version of Austin

Theory when he eventually does cash in. I think they did a similar thing with miss the first time he was gonna cash in where he got I could be wrong. Historians out there who memorized every episode can help me out with this, but uh, I feel like he was one of those guys who was just getting smashed on, smashed on, smashed on, and then when he cashed in, it was a much more like I'll pay you back, and here it is kind of kind of finished, and

it made him seem more credible. Theories getting better on the mic every single week, and it's cool to watch, but it's also really scary because it's like bringing a double a baseball player up when you know it's too early and you're worried if they do poorly, they're gonna go down forever and never have a chance to make it. So if Hunter hates him, then that could easily be the more likely scenario. But I don't think Hunter hates anybody there. I think he wants the company to get

over and theory can be good for business. His matches are good, he looks great. He just hasn't sunk into this character all the way yet. And in w W E you learn on the job, which is so psycho, but it's the norm, that's their normal in our lives.

You don't get the chance to. In television. Sometimes when there's like a president of a network, he'll have all of his shows right, and then when he gets me too, or he gets uh, or he gets fired or for whatever, and the new group comes in, the new group doesn't have the same interest in investing in the shows that we're already there, because those are those guys that guy shows. They want to remember what happened at CBS's it happened to me at NBC. You know, the president leaves and

they all right, all your shows are canceled. We're doing news shows. Um, So I wonder if there's a part of that that you that you just go, you know, we're gonna keep the company, We're gonna keep the guys. Wouna keep the thing, but we're gonna do it our way. And it seems very much that's what's happening. And also like there's this weight lifted off of like, oh, all that all that fear that Vince brings into a room has also been relieved. There's like I can confirm that

I've heard that from a ton of people already. Michael Cole seemed completely different, and then when he was asked about it. He's like, uh, yeah, a lot's changed. Really, it's been seven days, dude, what do you mean a lot has changed? Like a lot. Like I had a match that had a speaking segment with it within it. So it was the only reason I was in Guerrilla sitting next to Vince during a match, because otherwise it just be producers, the writers have no business being in there.

And so I'm sitting there waiting for this break to happen where Batista comes out and interrupts the match, and for the six minutes of wrestling before Batista enters, Vince didn't stop talking in Cole's ear and Cole's calling the match, and the whole time, Vince is like, don't forget to you gotta distract, you gotta distand and He's just like the whole time, and I'm like gotta distract, Like how distract? This is insane? And Cole was just going with it

every step. Six minutes of just NonStop direction in his ear, non stop, and I'm just on headset, like what is going on? Right? But Cole pulled it off, So I'm sure he's probably more relieved than anyone may have. Photo of Nicole Kidman when she divorced Tom Cruise, and they had a picture of her coming out of the courthouse with her hands thrown up in the air, and she

was like, Yeah, that's exactly what's happening, bro. That's how a lot of those wrestlers are feeling, right, Yeah, I gotta imagine they're going on, because even if you love Vince, there's an element of like fear and respect, and he really makes it clear who's in charge. You know. I had big love for Vince, but it was I had nightmare days when I worked there. Yeah, like even like it's like if you have like a dad, it's just

like a very powerful dad. It's like you love him, but it's like it's at and when you know he's wrong, it's just like, oh my gosh, dude, when please all right? This was the bat match. This was fifty Beans, formerly president recently recently deceased a couple of weeks ago. Us Grant on the table. But you had an interesting cover and I'd like for you to share it with the Life's what happened. This is exactly what happened. I literally

put on Twitter. I got a man Freddie. We gotta bet um, who do you think is gonna in Roman I got I got Broad Class, he's got Roman Rains. And I picked Brock because Brock's cool. You know, I like Brock with it. And he's gonna be in Nashville where the new his new cowboy look is gonna put put people pulled out. I don't know. I don't I don't read the sheets, I don't do this stuff. So I was just like, I've picked who I wanted to win, not who I thought would win. I put it on Twitter.

Everybody just starts dunking on me. Oh god, you idiot. It's gonna be Roman Rains everyone. And so I did like a little pole. It was like nineties seven percent, where like Roman Rain is gonna win. You know, that goes my money exactly. So it's like, all right, dang it. So then we get I'm thinking, you know, you're talking trash to me about it. Everybody and everybody in the internet is talking trash me about I was like, yeah, he's definitely gonna win the bet, dang it. And so

then because those people probably look at spoilers. I'm sure some of the people that voided voted look at the spoilers. So I get to the wrestling because Summersay and um my buddies are you. They don't know much about wrestling, so they're like, oh, it's gonna be awesome. And I was like, I bet you fifty bucks brock Lessner gets beat up, loses, and they were like brock Lessner because you know, they don't know a lot, They're gone, that guy, the big guy go Yeah, they go, I'll bet I'll

bet that. I said, perfect. So I'm using it Chris's money to pay you. That's what I'm doing. A smart guy. I should have been him. You should have you'd have made money. Yeah, But it felt so dirty doing that to my friend that I was like, I just take theft. No, that's a nice play, bro respect um. So this made event. The old part in me wanted to hate it, and I thought it was wild. I thought it was awesome.

He had Brock gets this grin on his face, which is this like I don't give a ship grin and laugh and sometimes it works and sometimes you're like right, like when him and take Her had that match and take Her couldn't and he's like, I didn't like it when he got on that first of all, ladies and gentlemen who didn't see it. The man drove in on a giant like John Dear tracked huge tractor. It was amazing.

It was like milk truck status for Curt Angle and he he cruises in and he's got this shit eating grin and he's he's chuckling and they get into the match and it's a last man standing. There's no rules. You're you get the ten count, which in w w E is like thirty eight seconds long, so everybody always stands up and they're going back and forth and the evil usso's who are cousins of Roman reigns actually in real life all part of that like Samoan family for

you outsiders. Uh, they come in there, the tag champs and they're beating up on Brock with Brocks beating up on everybody. Actually he's beating up Roman. He's beating them up there trying. Everybody's trying to beat up Rock. Everybody's trying to cheat. Austin theories saying what's up and brock Lessler's killing everybody. This dude, you tell it, you were there. It had to be. That was what. When the tractor came out, we're all thinking, what are they gonna do

with this because it's a really unforgiving automobile. You know, you can rig a trash compactor to look like it's crushing bron Stroman or whatever, you know, but you like what the tractor, It's like, well, what are they gonna do with it? Like, like, how are you gonna So at one point the bet, he puts the bucket above the above above the ring and he jumps off of it to attack Roman, which was sick and at the start. Yeah,

very very cool way to do that. Also, like when I think of Brock, I know that he's jumped off the top ropes a few times and stuff, but I don't really think of him as like this athletic high flyer kind of guy. And I made us all go oh yeah, like I forgot that he's capable of doing that kind of thing. So that was cool. But then they did one spot that they botched, but I get

how on page April would have looked great. They put Roman in the bucket, he raised it up and then dumped him out in the ring, but it didn't really work because you know, it wasn't even as high as the ladder would be like in the ladder match, so it just kind of like when he dumped him out, it just kind of looked like like it didn't even hurt or anything. So that was the one bad part

of the tractor. But then towards the end of the match, he literally lifts up the ring with the bucket, and which I also thought would be a thing Vince wouldn't allow, Like that makes me feel like he's done crazy ring stuff. But you might be right, but he's done crazy ring stuff. It looked so reckless the way he just got under there and then like lifted. It looked insane. The it literally seemed like he's like, we're gonna just see what happened,

screw it. And then you could see all the announcers on the side of their holding their headphones and going like because you know, the kind of the rings moving towards him a few feet when Brocks trying to get under it, and so, and then it's also kind of like as it's tipping, it's tipping towards the end ouncers. So you kind of felt this like element of like, oh,

this could go like really bad. You know, like usually when you watch a pro wrestling thing, you think these wrestlers are risking their bodies and their tendons and their ankles and wrists, and they can break bones and concussions bleed all over the joint. That could happen at any time in any wrestling match. But we're never in danger, you know, like well, like when like when when the chiders going, you think at all those fans, they might be really screwed here. This is a kind of a

hairy situation. Um, But it was pretty cool. We lifted all up and I actually like I love the big finish. I love that they bare. It was very comic book esque, had a bunch of crap on him. He's not gonna get up. How do you beat four? But here's the thing. I know some people were concerned with Brock losing a million times two or three times to two Roman, they

protected Brock so well in this. He beat up everybody for twenty eight minutes and then it took every It was like watching Thor's last stand, right like he may die, but because he fought everyone, Earth lives and it felt like this awesome moment and just kind of showed how strong and what a beast he is. I want to touch on one thing you said at the beginning because it was an old school lesson that arn Anderson taught me that I've never forgotten him. When people say it,

I always remember how true it is. He said, anything you bring to the ring with you as a wrestler is a promise to the crowd, and if you don't use it, your bullshit. So he's like, if you bring a sword out there and you don't use it, why the hell did you bring it? If you bring your your python out there and you don't use it, what was the point? And he said, it makes you look weak. So when you see that tractor driving out, your first question is it demand? A subliminal demand that a promise

is being made? And it must be. It's like, what are you gonna do with this? And if you don't use it, why why did you bring it out? So this leads us to our new segment, Favorite or Worst of the Week. And I paid a lot of money for that sound bite. That wasn't me. I was a professional singer. I just pushed that button and it just plays. But it sounded nice, didn't Well, he's a professional singer. Money well spent sounds Favorite match of the week. It

is easy for me. It opened the show, and I felt like at least three people got over, and that was Becky and Bianca at the Summer Slam. As the great Bret Hart would say, I love the way Becky got her over. I thought Becky got herself over. I thought they all got Bailey over. The other two women you could argue got a great roboff that as well. And to see five women in the ring and know that there's some story there and an opportunity to to to move forward with that kind of stuff got me excited.

So that big match also because they can get more time at the paper. He's than I'm they're going to TV. That's my match of the week or my favorite of the week. Do you have a favorite or a or a worst match of the week. I'll keep it. I'll keep it real simple because I gushed about it earlier, and I think it's all about misdirection. It's about like whatever I'm it's whatever it surprises me. It's like if if two guys are really good and they fight really well,

I go, arrest are really well. I go, wow, man, that's that was great. But that's what I expected. So I'm like, I'm I'm harder on him for some reason. But it's when I get surprised and Logan Paul did it again two times in a row. Surprised me. I wanted to hate and I loved. I loved everything he did. I love the look. I love the match. So I give it a Logan Paul. That's that's the that's the match of the week for me. I got one honorable mention. It's an A E dubs shout out to Will Hobbs

and Ricky Starks. I hope they give these gentlemen a good story. I love to see a baby face Ricky Starks good looking dude to can wrestle money on the mic. Will Hobbs looks like a mean, mean son of a bitch and it can be a big opportunity for both of them. So that's my honorable mention. Shout out to you two gentlemen. You know what wasn't the match of the week, Rick Flair and Jeff Jarrett. It's tough, man, the fans were gone, you still got it. I want

to be no, you don't, oh Man Flair. It's hard to watch people you loved as a kid when they're not at their best right, like I remember seeing like that the ESPN equivalent would be. Like, nobody liked watching Joe Namath play for the Los Angeles Rams. It was embarrassing and he wasn't the same and a friend of the Federation and the show. Seth Green was there in the flesh. He was sending me pictures all night long. Was he criticizing it or was he? He did have

a good time, Seth Green. Seth Green does not have a critical bone in his body for any artist out there. He will only say kind things about everyone. Well, and he was twenty two. He was different and he learned his lesson and as a grown man he is he is not. He's not that dude. So he was just all love for everybody. Shout out to Rick Flair, apologies, It's just, you know, I don't want to watch people I love it and at anything less than their best.

I'd rather, you know, I'd rather My final Flare match was, and I got to be there was when Shawn Michaels retired him, and it was a beautiful story they told in there. I'm sorry, I love you. That was so great. So I did not go see that. Shout out to Jeff Jared Man going every he could he could work wherever he pleases. Jeff, Jared's got had a big weekend wherever. He'll be in Japan tomorrow, a e W on Wednesday, a t NA appearance on Thursday, as TENNA still on Thursdays.

I don't watch. I don't know. That's a Progress show next Friday. And he wants All Wrestling, every paper view to be in Nashville. That's what he wants. Yeah, there's gonna be a Lucha Vavum in Nashville. He's on his way to that night. Mr Jeff d you are by far the best on site location wrestling journalists that this company has ever known. Week one maybe one, and I'm happy to I'm happy to keep doing it for you.
