Um to get started presented by AfterBuzz TV and hosted by Hall of Fame Superstar Sean xpac Waltman. This is X Hulk One Two Three Sixty and now your host WWE Hall of Fame Superstar, Sean. Xpac Waltman. Welcome to expect one to 360 everyone. Who and if you're watching this right now might look a little different because I A different studio. So I have a little bit of a different feel. I don't know you think that changes how the show feels it feels more calm with the bleep. I feel I don't feel like as like, you know, I just feel like more soon. There's the bricks the brick the brick walnuts. And yeah Justin getting ready for a fight. This is a little bit calmer timbren Studio same building just like two two two doors down. That's okay. But yeah anyways, it's going on today. Today besides today is the hit man's birthday. Yeah, there we go. 62 years old crazy crazy on my friends are old fuck. My girlfriend's like how your friends are so old but just feel better than like in a way for you at least the year. Like, I guess you can say that younger one. She likes till the cab always the kid so and that's just fine. Yeah, so happy birthday to the Hitman. Did you text them already or was that that was that was a birthday surprise or like the birthday like half a shot of intact or anything? I'll do that later after the show. So and and just real quick yesterday was apparently that that was a 24-day anniversary of my battery brat, but apparently yesterday was the 25th anniversary. It's know somewhere along the lines. I The year. Yeah, anybody ever seen that much? Yeah - definitely. Yeah. How did II wanted to ask you kind of about the the pacing of that match and that kind of I think that that matches so kind of Billy paste and there's such a kind of game of one-upmanship going on there. And it really it definitely seemed like Brett was putting his ass off to put you over in that match. Can you talk about that? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. No, Brett. He you know, he got really aggressive with me. And therefore this sole purpose of making sure the people are behind me, you know? Yeah create that's because you know, the people always, you know, people are always solidly behind me back then but you know, I've never been up against, you know, I never been across the ring from brat, right and that's what I was wondering. I was wondering if that was the first time that that you would really been in that position of like, all right. Let's see if he can hang you know. In the mean of that. Yeah, I guess so. I never really thought of it at the time, you know, but looking back on it that match really, you know, besides the you know, this couplet razor coming in the door. He's row beating him and then having that $10,000, you know challenge match what I got back, you know, obviously that was great for me and you know the victories over DiBiase and all that stuff, but Not this was I needed that I needed that match. I had a little bit, you know after SummerSlam 93 by my push kind of came to a little bit of a halt due to my own, you know Behavior outside the ring. I think I do. Yeah. I mean no one ever really tells you. Oh, you know, we're punishing you sure you just all of a sudden, you know, you're losing matches you think you supposed to be winning and you know, Just things like that. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. So anyways, yeah, they had a great match with with oh and a lot of people talk about it. Was that from King of the Ring The Ring 1994. Yeah. And so that was King of the Ring is in you know, mid the late June. Yeah and usually right around I think that year was the 19th June 19th is my son's birthday. So okay. I always know but and and so, you know, we had about a month in between that. Then this match with Bret and so we know a couple weeks out. I remember I like the TV before that because we would tape, you know, one tape show one live show and so a couple weeks it was that the previous set of TVs. I'm pretty sure it was Pat Patterson that came up to Bratton, you know and told Brett we were having the match so we had plenty of time to think about it, you know, the match was held at this. Place it was called Fernwood Resort. It was like this crazy up in the Pocono Mountains. It was just crazy. Yeah, I was just like this was was a resort like he go to and Kane code or something buzzing the Poconos, you know, they had the crazy like, you know, honeymoon suites with a heart-shaped bed. You know hot tub I think we dressed it one of those rooms and all of this week. Yeah and another They came again us for the matched two or three different times and two or three different times. Brett said we're not ready yet. And so they they shot our match out of sequence and you know, finally obviously eventually we were ready. It's just we were really putting a lot of thought into that and get mad. He's he was he just he really made me in that like I was saying but he yeah and you can tell even just from from the very beginning of the match starts right at you give him an arm drag and he's dead and even just his facial expressions, you know, he's telling the whole story there and Jim Ross and Randy Savage just crushed it on commentary that actually that it made it made the match even you know better because I I've watched that match with other voice out like his obviously Point Randy Savage was like kind of on the outs. Yeah, obviously and so all anything with his voice on it they V out. And so when they when they released this match on something I can't remember what it was. They had a voice over with Gorilla Monsoon and Stan Lane and fucking suck so mad Stan Lee was making jokes and you know, like, you know, we're here we are out there doing this match and all serious and I was so fucking bad when I heard that oh Shawn with the near Falls, which nearfall did you when you were in the ring? Did you really start feeling the crowd get behind you? Boof. Oh good question. There was that that it was a you know, once I'm out in my come back there was the he goes a superplex me and I you know, I turn it into like a cross body, press situation. That was that was good. Actually. Have you got stuff like oh shit when I drop the fucking leg off the top I think I put jackknife powerbomb then let me add this. Yeah, like you were mine. They were buying the car was buying all the near Falls in line and sinker. Well and especially yeah that superplex spot. I think that that reminded people a lot of the the razor, you know, just the fact that it kind of could come out of anywhere. And so and you know, okay the uppercut forearmed hmm the European style uppercut for arms that are referred to as lifters. That's what we call them lifters. Yeah, I'm Brett was Brett those like pretty much the best lifter of anyone that's not from the UK already dead. Right? And you know Brett if you watch the match when he hits me with those things that look like it looks like he's taking my hat off now he actually told me I no one had ever sold those like that before but it wasn't hard to sell. You can tell everything is definitely there for ya and they have stuff like there. I saw a picture. One picture of like after the match was over and Brett told Ms. John I did I clocked him by two or three good times here and he's not when you hit rat hunt when you potato brat. He'll let you know. Yeah, he said those were some of the biggest potatoes I've ever had like that during this time. You weren't really seeing very many championship matches main event on raw and if Brett was wrestling on the show was sort of more of a squash match, right, but now, you know prior to that we were mostly seen Brett Russell. Bigger guys, I mean other than Owen Hart you were the other guy that was able to really go toe-to-toe with him. So what was it like wrestling Bret Hart at his Peak? Hi. It was great. Hmm. Yeah. I know it's you, huh? I wish I would have had more match. That was what we did after, you know, the first time we ever the first and only time we ever had a match and that's what came of that so I can't imagine if we were ever able to you know, go out there and really get to know each other in the ring sure. I could have happened. So yeah. I don't know. He was just it was he's one of those guys that you just I mean, these are the term ring general, you know, what have his in the dictionary would have his picture up by the definition we could just go out there and just listen to the guy and you know, I don't know. What was it a situation where you were you kind of kind of both came to the table with a lot of ideas. He he said I want you to do all your shit. Nice. Yeah. Yeah, and he let me do it all. Yeah the the dye to the floor though the kind of barely caught me on it. Oh my God, I got barely breathe outside for a few seconds, but Not just that's to be if somebody asked me what your favorite match what was your best match any of those questions involving, you know the best of that like that's it. That's that's the one I choose and I've been a lot of great ones I've ever been in you know. Worked with Sean Flair. I mean everyone's got sure different guy and I like the best guys of of different styles. You know, I worked well speaking of styles every way Jay. Yeah, exactly. So I don't know. That's just that that's the one I always, you know point to yeah, that was that's my greatest singles match and it was at the hall of fame. Correct and Bret Hart was saying that he wanted to step in the ring with a guy. Like you correct. Yeah, how did that feel hearing that come out of his so Brett was the keynote speaker. This is a funny story. That was say so Brett's the keynote speaker at the hall of fame. And you know, he's going on he's talking about, you know, all the great the Great's from the Past who we were honoring there and then you know, he looks out into the crowd and he sees all the you know, the great guys and you know that are that are the future that mystery and A singles me out. And this way we didn't know we were having the match even you know, so yeah, then he said that about me and as he's put me over like that so Kurt, how do you get Jack lands are we're all sitting together and they're in Jack. He like he reach he he leans over to ghost. When he's finished everyone get up and standing ovation and sounds like yeah, okay. I'm all excited and he was finished and I fucking jumped up and I'm fucking giving it a shin and I look around and everyone still sitting down. There was the funniest fucking thing. Yeah. That was so funny. Yeah, exactly. That's right. Oh man, so I don't know if you've I believe you talked about this on prior shows, but I just wanted to remember exactly so for you, what would you say where the differences similarities between rustling Brett wrestling Owen? There was some okay some similarities and that you could just go out there and just wrestle and not have to you know, call things are both kind of in general is in his hands. Let me but I mean is I could do that too was just there was a certain, you know way of how you could do things back then and you know, because it's like a lot of times you would be working with a guy and you wouldn't even talk to him before the match because they dressed on the other side of the building right like they did in in the Memphis Tory territory. They did that Nashville. Remember the first remem ber first time. I work with Brian Christopher. We have a great fucking match, but we didn't speak one word before the match. It was the you know, we had to finish and that was it and just went out there and intuitively like just had a match and but yeah, I know that's what you could do with with with both of those guys brought in. Oh and so on Brent was okay. Owen was always the better athlete. I think it's safe to say that and I could tell like being in there with him. You know you just removed, you know, and he was and I think his style was was a little bit closer to you as the father. Yeah, and well my style was a little bit closer to his because I did a lot of emulating of own heart sure coming up in my you know, when I was coming up but okay the main difference and I'll say this with respect to O, I don't want anyone to take well it is the way this fucking window and didn't give a fuck. It could be brutal. There with them like on purpose like he grabbed your arm and just like do these fucking it. Look just like this to me behold your army dippy hit your arm like that. So don't be like your fucking get like his he just was like checked out sometime, right, you know, fuck it. So that was what separated those two. If no one took it as serious as Brett dead. He been better in Brett. Great. Well, we'll definitely have to talk about that King of the Ring match for sure. I absolutely crazy about that match. Do you think okay we talk about that later.

Yeah, right. There wasn't just lip service. It was like and that's the greatest thing in the world for somebody like me. you know to have those kind of to be praised by your peers, you know, it's great the obviously man, you know, we do this for the you know to satisfy the fans but like that respect to your peers is huge, you know? Yeah, definitely. Yeah, and especially when you're someone like me that you know, I grew up idolizing a lot of these guys that I ended up working with and then to have them say things, you know complimentary things about how you you know about your craft the way you know the way I Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's go. Yeah, 25 years. Yeah, I think you had everybody's respect 25 minutes me questioning my math and I'm really bad at math already as it is. What I thought was like what what year are we in? All right. All right. Go ahead. Okay. All right. So let's go ahead and move into some news. All right, so last week after our show, I think it was the day after where the news broke. There was an email blast sent out WWE announced that there would be new executive producers for raw. It would be Paul Heyman and for Smackdown, it would be Eric Bischoff. Now this obviously had lots of people on Twitter going back and forth talking about this, but I want to know what were your thoughts. I thoughts about the news or thoughts about both the news who they chose to be in this position sort of because they're essentially overseeing creative development, right? So maybe talk a little bit about that what you think? um I don't know happy for Paul and happy for Eric because I really like them both and there's you know, there are good reasons for why they you know mean there's a track record there sure, you know Eric's is a little bit different obviously, you know, Eric wasn't really the creative guy. So I'm it's I'm curious to see how this plays out for him or how you know how SmackDown You know with him at the helm, I mean we kind of got a little bit a of a taste of what Ron is going to look like, you know with with with Paul there and I think it was you know so far. I think it was pretty good review on Raw last night. There's definitely no this is better than has been in forever. Right? Well one of the key points are biggest topics that people were talking about in regards to this is the difference. It's between Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff whereas Paul hemann, it's known for following the product and you know outside of WWE and knowing what's going on and Eric Bischoff not being that sort of person. So do you think that that might affect that what he's going to be, you know being in that role I'm not being aware of what's going on outside the company. Absolutely. It's just that like, okay. So what Eric this is just from my point of view how I always thought what Eric was really smart about what there was. picking guys that were brilliant at the things that he wasn't, you know, like surrounded himself with so like Eric, I mean this Are could just find somebody that I don't know he finds he looks pretty sure he liked Eric new like okay. I'm not like genius Booker. So let me get somebody else that is known for you and he get people to kind of covers. Yeah, that's good. And on a three weeks, he usually usually when you look back at a mid 90s pay-per-view in The Finnish wasn't that great or the match wasn't wasn't agent it as well as he thought that would usually be what he said that. I delegated that wrong. That's usually Kevin Sullivan who puts the finishes together. I didn't like that. I didn't like the continuity and I wish looking back. I wish I had gone back to Kevin Sullivan and told him about that like explain to him the vision I want which and I think his his work at CVS and with Time Warner now correlating as a TV producer to work with Fox I think makes him perfect for this role sure more so than the Creative Vision of a TV show The What does what does Smackdown live on Fox probably on Friday nights? What does that look like versus Raw on Monday nights? And I think he's the person for that Vision. Huh? Do you guys think if because it seems like they're trying to to make this iteration of SmackDown on Fox more look more like a legitimate sporting program. Do you think that he's the that hiring him in this role will be in service of that. We will see. Like he hasn't even had a week on the job yet. So yeah, I have no idea. What a Smackdown with you know with with Eric at the helm would look like on the other hand. I kind of you kind of have an idea of what Iran is going to look like and it kinda that's what it looked like. I mean it was I mean like you could you could smell you can smell Well, you can tell Haman sent all over the show for sure right especially week to week. So and I'm we're going to get in a row so I don't want to do but like week to week. You see last week Bobby Lashley and Braun strowman had a tug-of-war this week. They're good through the sweetheart. Tell Santa stage. I would be shocked if part of that was him already being involved interesting to say well this week. Let's do some of these ideas so that next week when we make this announcement. We can show a market difference right and really rather than Eric Bischoff did do an interview in an interview. He said that he does realize the magnitude of this job and then considering that they are making the big move to Fox. It's kind of like he's kind of coming in with more pressure I think and you know, some may Wonder like, you know, there was maybe perhaps other people that could have also held this position, you know, so I depressed Vince Russo's not like hey, what about me? What about me? Hey Fox, I'm sure if we listen to you sing that right. But overall do you think it's just going to be a wait and see game then? Yes. Yes. Yeah, I and far as like as far as well last night goes I was you know, I was happy with that. So I mean I mean first week for Paul. Seems like neither one and then you got understand they can't this overnight. Like that's to be a transition, right? You can't just all the sudden, you know, halt like storylines and he has to be it has to be kind of a reason to sing into it also like Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo tried that on night for a long time ago, and it wasn't it wasn't what they thought it would be. We're like, we're just gonna come out. I'm going to take all the belts and we're gonna Crown Jeff Jarrett is the biggest heel and reboot. Yeah, we're going to Put the whole show and it's like hey, I don't know if we need that. Like I like that we went from tug-of-wars to stay to Stage destroying and then you know in two months and you're months and I'll look like a different show. Yeah, but yeah, well plenty to say once we get into talking about Rob proper. Yeah. All right. All right. There's so many things to talk about I guess killer thing too much. All right. Well, let's move on then last week. We were talking about the whole Twitter feud between Seth Rollins and Will Osprey and you know sort of picking sides shot being taken excetera while about a few hours before we started our show Seth Rollins actually apologized to will Osprey on Twitter. He apologized apologized about bringing up the point about comparing bank accounts. And then he went on to say it was dumb of me and not in line with my values the moment. I pressed the send button. I knew it was trashed, but I'm too stubborn for my own good. Yeah, that's I mean, that's what that's one. What something like that is. What one would hope you know, like after against are you know couple days of sitting on it? And yeah, we get caught up and it's easy to do that on Twitter. It's the worst, you know, like it brings its it brings the worst out in us right? I'm not going to say us is in everyone but us like, yeah, well mean generally speaking us. Humanity Twitter doesn't Twitter doesn't amplify that our best traits that yeah, he said that partially because he knew that that tweet would fit kind of the way the discourse of the way discourse happens on Twitter not necessarily who he is as a person so, you know I'm happy to see that I just hate you know, it's good. Hey, I'm better than you know, you're not well, okay, let's okay. Let's prove it. Okay, you know, hey, I just had this match. You know, let's see what you got and you know, like back and forth like that. That's good healthy, you know shit talking competitive. Yeah for sure talking and that's the kind of shit. I want to see I don't want See that in turn can paralyze, you know bullshit. Yeah, so yeah and then but by comparing bank accounts, you're comparing professional philosophy of like, oh, well, I'm making the most money. So therefore I'm the best right? I mean that's yeah exactly. I don't like we need to get into that argument, right? Yeah. So I'm just waiting for will to like go like full-blown. He'll guy go fuck yourself. Either way like it was pretty interesting that Seth Rollins did this because it's not everyday like even like everyday in our everyday lives. It's not easy to admit. Hey, I was being stubborn. I'm not gonna change my mind like it's hard to admit that your it is hard. But you know what's even harder is when you do something like that and you have to just keep sitting on it without fucking correcting it or making it right when you're a decent human being and you have respect for for the other. Person like because obviously the great gardeners come on there has to be a fuck ton of mutual respect there between those two. So yeah, I don't think Seth Rollins would have mentioned will a spray at all had he not had enough respect to be where it like, right Seth Rollins doesn't have a history of like blowing up people who don't deserve it. Right? And that's yeah, we had talked about that a little bit last week the fact that even engaged with it as kind of a sign of a certain amount of respect. All right. Maxed. All right. Well, let's go on and talk about aw fighter Fez. It happened over this weekend in Daytona. What did you guys think of the show? Um, I'd like to there were there were things about it. Yeah. I think one of the things coming coming out of it that a lot of people are talking about is that unprotected chair shot that Cody Rhodes took from Shakespeare's you don't talk about that. Okay, I wasn't a fan of it, right? Okay, we don't need that. That being said fuck like a lot of people just like to just take anything and blow it up and get out outrage over it and oh my God the fuck kind of okay. Yes, not good. It's okay. I'm pretty sure like it dropped on your fucking head like, you know with the super collider fucking yada yada fucking bring Buster. Suplex isn't good on your fucking head either. Right? Right. Yeah. I just think it was a lot a big deal made out of it. Right? I think it was way too big a deal made out of that. What good should have done it? Okay, let's move like okay big. Okay, so they won't do it again. Yeah, that's what I'm hoping is that they'll they'll they'll at least know that something like that. They don't need to do often if at all. Well it's interesting because I'm pretty sure I'm not pretty sure but like I would assume the plan was we want this to really We have that much impact right so much so that even heading into this the plan might have been he's gonna take an unprotected chair shot so bad. He's gonna bleed and then we're never going to do anything like that for five years, right? That is the value. I don't know. I just yeah should have done it. Should we be making like just should be just beating at a fucking dead horse into the ground over it. I don't think so. Yeah. Well, one of the things I wanted to mention was because of this chair shot dark, BLM was sort of forgotten about but even though at during like prior to all of that he was looking pretty good in terms of he was able to go to a draw with Cody and I thought that in terms of like building somebody up and making them too big like if you know to be a star eventually a kind of kind of yeah, I like the way that we were talking with you and Brett. Yeah, so like it was going all like everything out there was planned with Darby there but the chair shots are of took away from that so I couldn't just wanted to bring light to the fact that Darby Allen was one of like it kind of made the Yeah did take away from the match and like no one's home about the match now rightly. Nobody is the people that are though our there's a there's been a lot of comparisons talking about Darby on being sort of a this this eras Jeff Hardy. Do you do you have any thoughts about he's just this are as fucking Darby out. I think that oh my God, I'm like, oh can we just cut it out with the fucking old like the modern-day this guy? I like no, he's fucking dirty Alan. Hmm. I get the I get the temptation to always make comparisons. And so and so's the new this I mean, okay, they're they're they're eccentric, you know risk-taker characters, right? Yeah. That's okay. Yeah. No. No, I don't see it other than sure about just yeah. Nobody else is taking those iCoffin drops on the air. But some of the other people that were considered show standouts where MJ F of course a jungle boy who is also doing really well and it's funny because in their in their and their natural hang my pinch it and JF Jimmy havoc and jumbo jungle boy. I kind of felt like even though a hangman page is supposed to be like the next top star like one of the top Stars. I kind of feel like mjf sort of overshadowed him and his sort of kind of claiming that like spot baby. Yeah, that's fine. That's how it goes. Yeah. I like that. I like I actually Like the idea that it's not like oh, this is the person we're planning on. So this is the person it's got to be like no mjf is sort of like Rising like even from there, you know from from from the first show that they did it's sort of been like going higher and higher and then even jungle boy was one of those stands out like he's one of those guys that people just like they like them it's not because he's look Perry saint either right? They just like the guy, you know, like people happy don't even know that about him when they see him He's good hard-working kid. Like he has good ideas. He executes his stuff. Well good. Look, you know, he's not a big kid, but he's in shape. Hmm and I like the thing with him and him and Lucha. It's like Kanan my in Cannes. Sure. Yeah. Yeah plus. Well Moxley also came out looking like a star as well. I mean, yeah that one. Thought he did was pretty impressive on the show and had that that star Persona that you know that you just know okay with even if you weren't a wrestling fan of let's say you were just hanging out at a friend's house and you're watching you're like, okay. This guy's a big deal. So I thought that that was a good stand out to have during this show but one of the things that people work too happy about was actually the pre-show. Yes, people were not feeling that one at all. Yeah, that's it because of the the de Bailey thing. Yes. Yeah, that's part of it. Yeah. They're what all What else was it? But people weren't really too happy with like some of the matches like what well best friends private party. I see you the lovely Mary. What's the problem? I thought that was a great match either of the three magical fucking complain about the private party just people weren't what people just know like not necessarily like just like specifically with them just people weren't too invested into the pre-show and what was happening on the show itself. Okay, that was more of like the high like as a whole one of the people watching at home. Is the people in the building seemed to be just fine with the yeah, sure from my point of view. So is that what we're talking about here people online? And yes. Yeah. Okay. All right. I'll just refresh I matches I thought the tag match was the strongest and and that's taking away. Nothing from a lie and leave the Bates bell-to-bell. I just this librarian thing. I'm not a fan yeah of them was being trashed a lot for sure. It's not working. Yeah, it's not working. It's not like they just think it's a bad idea. It's not a bad. Bad idea, it's good. I've been so it's worth the try just don't think it's resonating and and Leyva Bates. I think that there's a million things she could do obviously because she does do a movie after yeah. Well her and Peter both. Yeah, definitely so ya know and if the private party come on, I love that those guys were great. Mmm and you know, I thought their match with Chuck you and Trent was it was fun. I'm not honest. What's a yeah. Okay, the Jew daily the you know the guy from CEO I get it like that. Probably shouldn't have been on there. Maybe I think it was fine for the building. Yeah live but maybe not maybe it should have been on the broadcast. That's that's fair. I actually because there was finding those guys that wasn't like, oh they went out there and was an embarrassment know those guys went out there and worked hard solid in there wasn't you know, I mean, I they did better and a lot of guys. Fucking on shows what? Hmm I don't get me started right televised. You would have been the best match on a lot of shows that I been on the fuck but like for televised wrestling it's really pass fail and they passed. Yeah. So yeah, so I get why people are mad about that. All right. Well moving on let's go ahead and talk about some other news and looking like there might be a new future and stored for impact and it looks like they are actually in talks with Access TV up. It hasn't been confirmed but it was reported by Voices of wrestling who said that they that there is communication or that they have been communicating. So there might looks like a chance that they might be getting out of pursuit which let's face it pursue. It's not really what's best for them. What is this is it isn't it? Oh, that's right. And then they also have their twitch deal as well, which you note which is growing growing more and more obviously, you know, but overall I think that this would be if it impacts were to go with acts as I think this would be a really exciting move for them. Yeah, and then I heard somewhere that apparently if if they actually get this new home with axes are even like another another Network. They're going to be the show that in their first run. Has been on more Network than any other televised show so fun facts for impact if that were to happen distinction. I guess the thing is the company really is other than the name end fact, I mean what's so different about the company? That's even the same it's very different and they've be they've put out they've highlighted certain talent. For example a lie. Yes, they've highlighted certain talent that wasn't highlighted, you know, in other places or you know, kind of boosted them up. And their shows have continuously been good and good and they've been doing a lot of different stuff and mixing a lot of different styles and bringing in like more Lucha guys and influent influent. Sorry, I couldn't talk anymore, but they've been influencing like a lot of different styles in their match in their shows and even their upcoming shows slammiversary that's actually being held in Dallas. And if you recall Mark Cuban owns the Dallas Mavericks, so there's also that connection so it makes you wonder like it's something going to be happening maybe after or is there even a bigger place? This because there are rumors that there might be something store in store. That is bigger than just impact going to access. Okay, I am hoping for something with that company. You know, I mean, they it seems like they put out these TVs but and then I you know, I've heard some people are happy there and you know, they're being stuck in these contracts that aren't paying anything, you know, so hopefully that all changes, you know, like what's up with killer cross. He was asking I think for a six-figure contract that's what happened there. And I know Scarlett board or has also left already. I believe that's a right now. She's still a free agent. She hasn't announced anything. Okay? Yeah, because the last time I checked she was still a free agent and But yeah, no killer cross wants more money. And I think that there is interest for him elsewhere and other things and so I think he's seen that and saying like Okay, you know, if you're not gonna pay me x amount of money that I want to go somewhere else but impact is saying that he's still with them I think for for a longer period I don't know if there's like a few years or I'm not too sure on the actual length if you're in back and you are able to pay what money you need to do it because you don't want to force somebody to stay in a contract and be on your roster be in your locker room. That's carrying around resentment because poisons do the water supply then the rest of the roster and the rest of the locker room and it's not good. I think the unfortunate thing with impact is that they do have a lot of Talent they have been putting a lot of great matches, but because of the networks that they have been on people aren't seeing it. So these guys are going out there they're playing top-notch stuff out there, but maybe it's just the word isn't being spread enough and that's because they're not on a network that can really, you know, maybe they're not maybe they're just they're really trying to keep something alive a brand that it just has too much of a stink on it. I can't be washed off or no point. They still really fond of that fucking impact brand aren't they? Right? And it's because TNA Wrestling was I want to say the bigger the bigger version of this on Spike TV, and that's where the Really comes from sure that if you ask most wrestling fans who aren't familiar with what's happening on him back week-to-week. What they remember is Hogan and Bischoff and like a lot of stuff. They didn't they heard about it. They watched it and they didn't like it. So like getting brand wise that's what they're still dealing with didn't know is that that show where it shouldn't be that way like, why are we still judging something from like something that isn't even happening right now and there's no still try to live off of fucking some are still call it the same thing. Yeah, Denise like they're still trying to trace. They're ladies. There's probably a lot of people out there that aren't really giving it a full fare. I'm sure how sure obviously that is as stigma comes from because a lot of the dedicated fans that watch impact and you know, enjoy the product or some of the ones that have decided to open themselves up to the product, you know, there's a lot of good stuff in a lot of good talent that has been coming out of there. So I just think that I just think that it's somewhat unfair that we're still like, I mean as long as they keep calling it impact that's going to keep happening. Like there's going to be those people that's like I tried it didn't like it. Don't need to try it again. Despite how good they are now and despite how long ago that statement right there. That's I tried it when I was on Spike TV, and it's like they've literally had like 15 different teams, right? Yeah, but that logic is well if it's still Impact Wrestling how different can it be you know, that's that's fair launching. Yeah. Alright. Alright moving on. Let's talk about CM Punk has now countered a counter lawsuit against Colt Cabana a countersuit, excuse me, and this is in response to the suit that Colt Cabana filed in August of 2018 saying that CM Punk didn't pay for certain legal fees that were supposed to be paid for or that he promised to pay for and now CM Punk is claiming that he actually just did spend 1.2 million dollars and that Colt Cabana never reimbursed him for any of that money and therefore is in breach of contract. So they're both sort of like he said/she said sort of thing right now Mmm Yeah. I don't know. I guess you know, I I should have paid more attention to the to the to the board up there when you wrote all this shit down to use because you know, I don't know if I want to weigh in on this it's just sad. Yeah, it's a mess. Yeah, fuck that. I'm that way and then on this, okay Moving On Moving On Let's Go. About we mentioned this earlier that we're getting a glimpse of what a new rod with Paul Heyman being part of the creative development or being executive producer of overseeing creative development. It's looking like and it's safe to say that there are definitely some changes being made on Raw. So let's go ahead and just start off with the opening segment Bobby Lashley Braun strowman Falls Count Anywhere Braun strowman running him through the alley D boards and all the Pyro explosions and the huge pop from the audience and even how this was handled via. Here and all of that. Yeah. Yeah way to start things off. Oh God the say this with a bang that that feels like Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon working in tandem. Yeah, I mean after weeks and weeks and weeks of Roz starting with promo after promo of 2 promo. This is a hell of a way to kick things off. Yeah. And until they had a nice six man on starting to show off right? I mean, yeah, Started as a tag and then they went to break and then it turned into a six-month. Oh, okay, what started as a tag because of that fucking shit right to that match though with Corey Graves saying the holy shit word online online on are what did you think about that since a lot of people were surprised that this was said, it's not a big deal honest. I mean, I can't I get to like oh my God, he said holy shit, but like people say shit on cable TV now, right right like, oh, you're not allowed to say that I think just loves I think just what a lot of people are talking about. Is that like if there was a clear indicator that like this might be the first in in the quote-unquote handsome Jim. Also, I guess the one thing that would be kind of surprising is like if there's gonna be any holy shit, you would think would be the third hour sure. They're not, you know the top of the first down. Our right with all kids watch it, right? I don't know what the kids are going to do. Now after they heard someone say, holy shit. I have a lot of kids in my family and I know for a fact they are saying worse things than that just throw out there. But yeah, so yeah moving on you you're talking about the six man. Yeah. It was just it was something different right like okay, here's a match that we haven't seen 20 fucking thousand times already and previous. Week's right. So just a different feel to it. Yeah. All right. Yeah, I dig the the Viking Raiders a lot and I think they bring something new to the table on Raw for sure and a good mix with Samoa Joe. They just make one very very hot. And even when they had that exchange with Big E Langston. I was kind of like oh a biggie. I was kind of like, okay. I'm sorry. I keep adding that. I have not let it go apparently names damn it. So you even gonna seem that exchange. It was just They're like, okay, this is cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah and in the street Prophet showed up on TV. That was fun. Yeah. I don't think I thought that worked how they were. You know, I mean, I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm split on it myself. I want to get your thoughts on it. But I obviously I'm excited to see them get called up for sure. I what I'm what I'm less excited about is the fact that you need that they got called up so fast after winning the NXT Tag titles. I would like to see one after winning. What are we doing? Like I mean, what was that and and like is that the exactly what he's trying to get we just trying to get like everyone like acquainted with them or just to see where what people I mean duties to kind of, you know, get a reading of what the people are thinking. I don't know sure do we know if that was an official debut or them just starting out? I mean, they literally said the words making their Raw debut. You but whatever that means who's to say, I would prefer Hasty profits. Are this really big deal down in NXT. We're going to give them this brief interview segments to the main roster can know who they are. Sure so that when we call them up months from now people made people don't have no clue. Yeah, which I think the crossover between XT in the main roster is bigger than most who are making these decisions think of it sure. But if that's what you have to do, then those have them on TV, so people know who they are. I like that. If they're just on Raw starting next week, it's it shows a pattern. I'm seeing especially among NXT Tag teams that it's like who's the champ bring them up? Right? Right, right. What about the championship? I don't know right drop it. Yeah, but haven't ornaments we just did that right exactly. Okay, so then there was also the Drew McIntyre Undertaker segment. What did you guys think about that? I thought this was a pretty good both promo song off of Drew and Undertaker take your talked a lot. Usually he taught more than usually doesn't it was good stuff, you know usually like sometimes it's like don't let take her talk too much, but I get everything he said was good and you know seem to get the right responses. Yeah. I like that Matt. I like that Taker and rains. I mean them is team makes sense. No matter who you know who the people on the other side of the ring would be. So like I so I get that, you know. Bring take your back get them on TV help. Maybe the hopefully helps with the ratings. Yeah, and I like that they're building off of the history of like these last few wrestlemanias, you know, the fact that he has this begrudging respect for Roman Reigns because of Orlando and his history with Shaina and Dallas things like that. Yeah. All right. So how about we go ahead and Skip forward and talk about the whole Becky Seth and the whole Maria and Mike Kanellis situation, so it's sort of started off. a backstage segment where Maria comes out and she basically tells Becky and Seth Rollins that they're the real couple of wrestling and she puts over Mike analysis and all of that and then afterwards there in this match a Seth Becky versus Mike and Maria and afterwards it's sort of just goes into something so different about my Canal is not being man enough to basically Maria announces that she's pregnant and she really is and she basically he says that he wasn't man enough to impregnate her and that the only man that was really man enough today was Becky Lynch and maybe Becky Lynch should have impregnated her and it just made my Canales look like very very small. Yeah, what the fuck like I've heard of her. I've read that it was their idea. Really? Yeah. I've heard versions of this. Also, but some like like I heard like one of them are they pitch some kind of a cuck storyline. Uh, she did but yes us fuck she did refer to him as her bitch in a backstage probably. What the hell is this? Okay, like I what the fuck Mike she's great on the we know that she has a good skill. She's plays off again. He'll etcetera but for my viewers this going to what fucking end. I don't get it. Yeah, I don't don't get it if there's like okay if they have a you know, a logical like if they have a destination, they're heading towards and you know, I'm gay and it starts like come together and like some sense is made of it. Okay, I'll fucking maybe come around to it. But right now I'm like what the fuck? Yeah, especially after what the fuck you doing after so many weeks of him kind of passionately defending the work that he's doing on 205 alive. Yeah, definitely interested to see Who's I hate that right? Let me make fucking hate it and hopefully they have a plan moving forward that because you would think it's an interesting pairing that if Murray has a heel manager and then because of the way she treats him. He's a face with the only thing would be the only like logical thing I see and that's it and like yeah, but at some point people are like, okay people feel sorry for you to point. Yeah, the only so much that would be quit being a fucking bitch. Each and then if he has is to do a quick fuck it like because at some point you're just pathetic. Mmm, it's not me feel sorry for you. You just pathetic but we have three weeks until we get there and then if it's like let's say within three weeks. He disliked he has the today's the day. I'm bringing out of this vicious cycle. Oh by the way, the kids not mine. It's Cesaro. And then he works with Cesaro. I could see a long-term story with that plays sure. This wasn't this was a bit of a rocky start for me. Like don't only like way I would like for this to turn out storyline wise as for him. Kicker the fucking curb. Yeah, seriously. Yeah. Yeah, that's just storyline wise. I'm not saying it real life because of course people I'm happy like and they just signed a new contract. So, you know, obviously, you know, that's not the issue here. Sure. So and this is this is how you rewarded for trying to do fucking contract five years, right? If she's pregnant and she'll eventually be off the road in the next couple months. And if he isn't they should hopefully be building towards something that that's he can be he can walk out there by himself, right? Okay. All right. So moving on one of the other things that we should talk about. It's Ricochet vs. AJ Styles for the u.s. Title and AJ Styles got a Gallows and Anderson essentially laying out Ricochet afterwards now and I like the stuff, you know, the building up the backstage segments with them that you know that Segment with age and Ricochet slapping each other was an awesome awesome segment. So sure it's all good stuff and I like okay instead of pussyfooting around and like just kind of just you know, like okay and we got a fucking he'll AJ Styles like a legit he all right and I'm happy with that. Yeah, and and hopefully by proxy at elevates Gallows and Anderson as well, you know how that they get elevated by. By it being written into the storyline like you did the TV like okay, we're going to push these guys again, right? That's how they get elevated. They've all I think they've always been like I've always been ready for it. Sure. Oh God. Yes, so I'm just been like floating around. So it feels like shit. We've had glimpses of them here and there even prior moments with AJ throughout throughout since AJ's been there, but nothing really actually came of it with like a little You like it there, but we're not doing anything with it yet. Mmm. It's weird. How like What motivates? people to go from putting on like Roz that everyone's complaining about to own a sudden we have a You know last night people are fucking universally praising it. Yeah, so what the fuck like I mean, why do we have to get to this point for this kind of shit to happen What fascinates me is if they put on if the announcement hadn't happened last week about Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman, and then they put on this raw would we be would there be as much Sizzle and steak to this raw that we'd all be like, oh, it's the Paul Heyman era Everything's changed, right if we didn't know that that had happened. I think it's the opposite. I think if we didn't know that people would be talking even more about our differences. I think so for sure because now I think this is giving people a reason to go like oh, well, that's why I have an idea what that have you ever seen like we're with network shows where they'll like do. They'll just do like a special like okay unscripted or somewhere where they just kind of like, I think they should do an episode of Raw like that like and they and promoted as this raw unscripted. What a whole episode where everyone just kind of goes out there their magic. They produce their own matches. They fucking they go out there and say what they want to say without being scripted just give them bullet points and watch how many fucking people too. To see that sure a fuck ton of people watch that just to see ya good. Yeah, so it sounds cool to Fantastic it on the Marty. I was like scripted and that sounds like something you could get over without using TV time where it's just Paul Heyman from his Twitter says next Monday. This is what I'm doing, right and you know, you never see him on TV other than the advocate for Brock Lesnar, but on Twitter, he made it clear as executive Creator creative person. Yeah. This is what we're doing next week. Sure. All right, let's get the fuck out of here. All right. All right.
