Thank you so much for making us a part of your digital this experience before we go on. Let's reduce our Frost our panel. On my far far left. This guy is the hardest working man in the room and a future WrestleMania main eventer. Give that bird and Christopher. That's right. That's why we're putting out there into the universe from Megan have a manifest Sound Performance Center. That's right. How you doing? Happy New Year everybody. Yes. I did. I did I did. Yes, I ate way too much. Okay horrible. Silly, I was killing it right now give it up for she's down for she's down with championship wrestling from Arizona and the future AfterBuzz TV Hall of Famer. Give it up for the emmy-nominated Emily met. Wow, I'm loving this. It was incredible. Lots of family. Lots of friends lots of fun. You know, that's cool. I'm trying to get over, you know being sick because it's taken down. Yeah, man. Basic to all that togetherness and close together all the happiness. Of course the big family I shout out to our chat get up Angie Harris Dylan Matthew Joseph Moses Xena our how's everyone doing? Oh and anti-villain Firestorm. That's a new one. Nice to show my favorite shows of the week because if you guys in the action here, yeah, it's true. Let's talk about what happened today, right? I love you were talking about two three weeks. Ago when Shana bays are lost the NXT heavyweight title the Ripley what's going to happen through women's division? Well, the show said look we got talent for days away Bentley end up being a sixth woman match can lesser rate Tony Story Ripley. It's valuable. Are you sure Ryan Kate lire artresin women's wrestling asking for Emily May. That's what the match and and having the six ladies here be in that match. Yeah. I mean, I love that they you know, it's the first major show of the year. They opened up with all the women coming out. Out and saying hey, this is what we have and they brought it for sure. So, you know and I think I was going in wondering like what are they going to do? You know, Rhea Ripley is now like the head of the women's division. So how she going to be represented. Is she gonna like first start off the year with a main match, you know, what's going to happen, but I like how they just like brought everyone out and you know, it kept it Lively and it kept it Dynamic to start off the show. Oh, that's good point. Absolutely agree with you. The match was was Phenomenal, I like the fact that I don't want your feelings on this David having some of the Antics UK talents already in the mix wasn't like a this is Tony Stark. There's a whole backstory is like no, you know Tony is you know, here he is get with it. That's right. Yeah, I agree and like you said flow we ask the question what is going to happen? They definitely answered it tonight. I think that crossover bringing the Superman together, which is it's awesome. I think it's only gonna help the UK brand more and it gives us that diversity more Dynamic. I don't mind seeing Tony storm in the ring. So I was happy about that. Continue to elevate This Woman's brand. Well here they're trying to show that like, they're like who's fighting for dominance? And I liked how they had a lot of the the it was a surprise like everyone kept coming out. They had the nice little kind of talk on the mic in the beginning where you know, Bianca Bel-Air, you know comes out and really just kind. Threatens everyone. And so I think the real Ripley Bianca Bellaire chemistry is really good. And so I'm excited to kind of see that growth. I really like the fact speaking 4 promo. She was just like I'm better than you you don't even go. Here we go outside look awesome in the booth reigai she watched in thoughts about the fact that you know, nxt's women division. It seemed to be one of the more Marquee things about that brand. And women's wrestling. Is it now High time for it to go mainstream for those who may not be hardcore wrestling fans. Yeah, absolutely and you can check out women's wrestling weekly or every week. I mean every day. No it wasn't it wasn't it? I think progress is progress. Excellent progress man. I love the work that Star Trek news over there pop corn stalks is a channel make it happen with steps of Brawn company what's going on in the next couple weeks for that show with Star Wars news? Yeah every Thursday 4:00 p.m. Pacific to into Star Wars news If You're a Star Wars fan where it's bit of a Broly fun type show or talking about episode 9, we're talking about the Mandalorian. We're talking about a galaxy far far away. So tune in that's a great. I thought it was pretty cool the way it was to me kind of Overkill how Bianca was destroyed by re Ripley. She looked like kind of an amateur hour thing. Maybe I'm just looking too much into it. But is that kind of a good show me want for Bianca Blair or I should say someone has to yell here. I mean some of us take the L, but I think to it, you know throughout the home match. She performed very well she put on a good match. I mean it really didn't do I think out of all the girls she The least amount of work that whole match, you know sort of come in she's got to close that she's the champ. I think it's okay. Yeah, I mean the structure of the match you kind of know what's going to happen, you know, like really is going to like get, you know, put in the the outside of the ring so that like she can come in later and take you know, yeah take it so take the win so, you know Bel-Air showcased her strength though. She had like a lot of lower grappling moves and you know in the beginning and she showed her strength, but like it has to go to Ripley. She has to kind of show her dominance in the and the division. Who do you think is stronger Bolero Ripley like this pure strength outside of the Ring. That's tough because I'm sober. She has so, you know, I don't think there's a way to compare. I think they just have different styles of how they shook his their strength, but I think they're both really really but I've had to make a bet though. If you're like who lived this giant weight and walk it looks room. Probably Belarus. That's tell you it was because again, I saw re really liked holy man handle Piper Niven and I've seen Blair put everyone over her shoulders and Military presser. I just want your opinion who you think is like naturally stronger. I'd say overall natural athlete with like I just and more natural athleticism Bel-Air for sure. Yeah, you know again no discredits Ripley, but I think if we're just going to have to choose I'm Ruth pillar. Oh God that's moving on reigai. We need your help right now to cut a promo to tell people how I can interact with this after but showed other up the book shows. Yeah. Yeah, man, I'm telling you man, you know, man. Yeah, but did a boiling point if you don't hit that like button and subscribe man, you know, I think you just gotta go on iTunes and hit that like button hit that thumbs up on you. You man comment? Do you see that van hit the Subscribe button man, you know, I'm about a boiling point out that subscribe button. So please do your due diligence. We are the ESPN of TV talking. Thank you for making us that I'm gonna go eat - the my chicken in my eggs, man. I get that protein man. He's your brother. It was weird because it sound like he was like trying to hold in a poop. I should have brought my chicken cream of the crop. Yeah. We had a couple of homos one that thing to be recurring tonight was tommaso Chapel, right? Yeah, really personifying Goldie saying that look that came ship was mine. And I'm cool. I don't hate what you've done but you took my life from me. I want my life back. We even actually gave adam Cole some props because he was like, you know, seeing how you took it at the levy ticket. I don't know if I could have took it that far something like along these lines which is which you know school. He acknowledges that but I mean, I really like the promo remind me of that old school WB almost like a Concord badass like very, you know, just dark and angry and like I'm coming for redemption or you know, yeah for Redemption. Yeah. I mean, I loved the language he was using he was you know, he has like an emptiness inside of him that like the loss of his, you know, the time that he wasn't able to wrestle and he wasn't able to be a champion and you know, he wants his life back and so he keeps saying like I want my life back and so that's a really powerful message. Zh, and that's going to that kind of added a spark to his doesn't happen this passion with with Keith leaders rise, and I'm cold as this time to get the get a chance actual wrong with that gold out this year. And you know, that's that's a tard question that I parm you want to say. No, but the hope of me wants to say yes, I think it would make it really interesting right you like it obviously would would because you need you need your Ultimate Challenger. Now so if it's not bubbling that would really tough really bring it. Well, here's also the real question. Who would you guys rather see either lie and Champa or coal and lie, or you know obviously going to see Adam and Champa bucks. I mean, who would you rather see how that Bunch? So with the leaf he gets put in that picture. Yeah. Who would you rather want to watch? Yeah, I think Adam calls undone everything the world is ass for him. I think that he should have of the four guys in the group. He still had the belt the longest time but it's hard to put lie in that. That conversation and not give him something and you go there for six months and it goes back down and be like, wow, what was that for your star? But at what point what at what cost so it's hard for me to say it really is I decided to do that. Yeah. So if it's like it's really hard to say. Yeah, I mean chamba had a for what 238 days or something. Yeah. Yeah. It's a really long time. That's such that's like a lifetime and it is in the world will love the ballet ballet was Universal Champion for one day and he never got back but never but yeah hasn't been back since so let us roll classic right the Traditions back. A little different format than the years past NXT UK is now involved in everything and also I'm not really sure what anyone gets besides the trophy before I went to title defense or title shot. Excuse me, but this year we have both the NXT and the NXT UK champions in the tournament. So I'm not sure if it's like a you know gals and Anderson. We have a cup or a cool or what but the first round matches were tonight Imperium Eichner Bartel against the Forgotten Sons. I was actually pretty shot. I know so it's pretty ironic, but I was shocked that if you're in one tonight Emily met disagrees. Why is that? I mean, I mean right away I could see that like Imperium was gonna win you get okay the match of their styles from like, yeah that from their past kind of, you know, yeah wrestling performance. I felt like Imperium was like the the best person the best tactic to take have we not stated this before forgot every time. Forgotten they are now jobbers. The aren't the new jobbers now fortunately they keep getting put in matches right where the structure of the match just doesn't highlight their best qualities. And so what are the best qualities that is that good? Wow, I'll take new gear. Even though a team against the Warriors at the time at take over New York was an instant classic. Yeah, so it's pretty even though Imperium. Is he better team? I'm not denying that it's just that I figured the Forgotten sons are a team that kind of needs it like the kind of need that like this feather in her cap. Yes. I was kind of rude now. I know I mean I get rooting for them, but I also feel like it's a but you're wrong flow. You have to go with what what looks best. I truly was I was rooting for forgotten sense of win, but I knew that they weren't but I was like, I would just like to see you. Yeah, it's kind of funny. But I do I do think that they should get that like you said they should get their shot and if they're if they keep getting matches were there not getting good story lines and not being highlighted correctly. Then they're not going to be able to rise to the challenge. All I'm saying is when I was a kid. Kid, there was a guy a legend Barry Horowitz and when he won a match ice cream on the top of my lungs are with win. All I'm saying is for that's a shot. He has like the Browns the Browns arrest think they'll get one right but it just at the right moment. You have to have the faith do you think It all I think they can and I think that'd be great for UK brand as well. Yeah, they need help moving on. It's now time for my favorite part of the show is not the week. It is l'hopital's boot thing in a week and I gotta be honest with you. It is now Tony Tom. I sat here for weeks upon weeks a month by month working merchandise saying that Tony Stone was an instant bona fide star go back to the Met young classic. She was out there, you know, the X Factor The Stance the little small like character notes today. She was ready to go because we're gonna go bounce back from A Loss last summer looking extra interesting. I want to say that Tony some has a credible upside for 2020. She maybe even the n x here and x 2 UK women's champion once again, and that's why it's Tony time. I'm gonna beat this land and that's why she is still beat those boot thing, uh the week. Like I feel like she is every week forget to give technical degree. Don't you? See her? You're like, yep. No, I never said Kerry saying that is what we think injuries what you disclose. We should start with start a little yes to check every time like I do not a fun guys because I am a fan of women's wrestling. So let's talk about the net speaking of not women's wrestling. I guess we re on what what that was a mistake. Top down the rails. We saw another appearance of the former evolve Superstar Austin Theory. What's I think it smells Spaceman? Thing's pretty cool. I thought was no I'm darting a house with you the way it comes out against Joaquin wild formerly from Tom. In fact was in the breakout tournament. The match itself was interesting put Austin theory on showcase for another audit another week. I'm not really sure why quinoa is that got to do with but over thoughts on the match day. I'm the master is great. Especially For Us in theory. I mean, it was interesting as Talked about the beginning with why King and his whole entrance outfit. I didn't know if this is Predator alien. He's going to be facing but I wasn't sort of what I mean. Then the match itself was actually really good. It complemented each other skill sets obviously Austin was getting over. I'm really impressed with Austin Theory. I mean the guy just he's strong. He's quick. He's agile good spots to the ring. I mean as you mentioned him, he's got a good look. I see a lot of potential for this guy. Yeah. I mean when I first saw awesome third come out, I thought oh, wow he He has the look. He has the it Factor, you know with with Joaquin like I was like you said I was very unsure of what that style but that here was whether he was like from Mars Attacks or something. I'm not sure. Yeah - like what is like, it was kind of cool, but it felt a little out of place in contrast with Austin Theory, right? So, but I get the Be the reason why they did that was because it really is supposed to supposed to highlight Austin Theory and and his look and you know, he is really young but he looks much older than tell me not gonna buy like a Joaquin. Well hit hat to wear around town or anything like I mean, I mean I was I think Abby's I mean it is kind of cool. He's like in a weird video game kind of a thing awesome very your right has it and then the more the more times we say that about NXT talents. Try to figure out how to quantify what it is. Yeah, like again, I gushed over Tony storm because when she comes out, you know who she is confident herself, but you really can't keep teach that you taking that or is it something where like a natural Starpower? Never Charisma? And I'm sure yeah. Yeah. Cheers. I've here's my name with that. I've always said no like you just like you can't teach heart you either have it or you don't I mean, you can always improve your skill set. Yes, you can improve anything from like athleticism athleticism to your mic skills to all that of course, but I mean a natural Charisma that natural high And that just it factor. I don't think you can teach that. That's fair enough. That's fine. Thank you. Thank you. You can't really teach it you can yeah, you can try to you know work on every aspect of you know for Mike skills to you know, your athleticism and get into shape as much as you can. But if you don't if you don't have that spark that engages and inspires audiences it connects with them. It's It's not going to work on for shuttle to rustling man. I mean awesome very so young. You know, we're yeah everyone knows about the Next Generation and we're seeing it now. This is we're seeing it. Yeah, but I got an oval beat Amon. Oh man. I've been around the world. But let's move it on another Dusty Rhodes classic first round match the Undisputed era by taking on Gallup. Now this mess here kind of irritated me. I just kind of overall feel about I feel like NXT UK seems to be a little bit inferior to the mainland agency brand. Maybe it's true. Maybe it's not Undisputed error goes over gals again. Metalhead I chose wrong because I thought gals gonna win this show is wrong again. I don't do Bracketology me and Jake were the worst records when it comes to predictions thoughts about the match. Yes. Yes. Thank you very much. Thank you. The sound effects are intense tonight. You know, I again I thought Undisputed are was going to take it. You know, my my predictions are right you need to hang with me. I noticed you didn't have to win. No one cares about some gay true, but this is a good match for them because we're getting ready for their their takeover Blackpool to you know, so the this is for them to reach out to a different audience to really like get some get some reps in right and you don't go against the go against Undisputed era, which I think they were paired really well together. And I think it was great for them to highlight both both, you know both sides. Yeah, it was breaking down Phil. I mean you you are the one who has praised the draped in gold. They're not gonna take a job as it is going against the tag chance nxt's main brand Champs. That's that's I think good enough for them. I mean because if they were to lose, huh Does that make their Champs look for that brand? Yeah. As well as Majid is no wrong answer that the reason why if I was a Booker I would have put gals up top because gals is shooting with appearing now and it's Tuk they seem to be they don't think they have the upper hand there. So they come over to NXT. Most people have not seen them. I'm a big Wolfgang guy, you know, the other people error so much a unified idea. They don't really need don't have to advance this format at all there in it. Great. I'm happy. They need this tournament you let me go to put their team there. So I thought on paper / that may be eligible. But that's why I think that's why it was good to have this so that were introduced to them and it's a reminder like hey, we got to watch these guys because these guys are gonna like rise to the occasion. So Boom Baby Boom. Mmm just laid it down. There. It is Flo Amanda's mic drop down moving on is now time for a puppy. Yeah. That's right. That's right. So tonight's punk rock band of the night. I'm gonna give it to that. Six man or no not would stick for man crazy battle main event, of course, not just because Main Event because I really love the Dynamics in that match, especially with dodgy Kovac and lie when they have those spots was moments or staring at eachother one-upping each other leave you with that jumping roundhouse kick, you know guy his size is crazy that he's able to do that, you know, so that was really awesome. The match itself is fun. I think that really brought up the energy the show cause personally felt like the show was kind of getting a little honesty boring, but just dying down a little bit I said it's tight but you know right away when that match happen, it would just like, oh, we're in it. Everybody's I mean the crowd was on board again, and it was just fun. So that's for me the punk rock pin of the night because it actually got me engaged again why it was an awesome match to get Malcolm Bivens to be his manager, which is something I would like to see. Those opposed to said theory is a three-and-a-half-year pro which again goes back to his control Amanda subsides fast rise in the industry. Yeah child to do a math is to man. The guy is the Iron Man of AfterBuzz TV says, holy storm needs to move the NXT u.s. Full-time for more. Tony storm the better. Yeah, I agree. Yes. Yes. Yes, we all agree. So the man's got a point. I'ma give you some make it happen. I superjet him. So gigantic comes out, right, you know, he's all about business and saying no Hidden Valley your punk. Finn Balor Prince Finn Balor, I guess we're just combining things now totally ripped him a new one David Christopher the resident Finn Balor fan thoughts about the promo and the angel program again. Oh, chill out bro. Like I so angry man Angry the room to share. He's oh I got the call I could have went up to it. I stay here and blah blah blah and I come on you could be happy. Now let's go. I like you selling it. He's angry I get it. You know, we got this cool Feud going on. I'm a fan fan. So I'm rolling with Finn. I hope fan kicks his butt. I don't know if it's going to happen to be honest. You know, let's see if they can actually push Gargano again, but it's cool. Let's see where it goes it see what Finn means but if he's gonna make it that far, you know, see what happens. I hope he does something whatever you know, but it was cool. I'm with it. It's about the program. Yeah. I mean, it's Going to its building. The suspense is building there. Are you unborn are you are you like are you like? Oh watch kids a good match for come like oh snap. Okay. I'm back to the problem. Always have a Gargano is that when you got it came back from injury. It was like this. This Trump was injured his story like a company's so it's almost a reduction of what Diana was and he's like a super senior guy. I love hanging out the parking lot with you guys. I didn't want to leave. Because I'm a super senior but I think fan belts are gonna do it to him. Yeah, bring it up but you but like I gotta have to re-establish his his dominance and his like I was here like this was my place my family and then like you can't come in here and take it but I wear that comes that comes at the end of Seth Rollins base runners, like I care so much about it. It's like a clown. Darby interesting. Yeah, it'll be interesting. I'm going to say no. I mean, you know, they might not take it but it's definitely going to be a good matchup TimeSplitters our next match with and match. So that's what's so telling and I'll make sure I go last on this one me. I'm Kayden Carter Mia Hamm the aka the Blasian batty caking on King Carter who's come on. The mattress is my pick to be the breakout star 2020 the magic sounds pretty solid before we even get to the Fallout of the matter. What happened that that was some of the match itself Emily made the reservoirs resting expert thoughts about keeping car's performance tonight. Yeah. I mean, you know me again is is one of my favorites as well Kate and Carters definitely been like on my on my who to watch list. Yeah, and she definitely is like really ferocious. Okay. She's Dynamic. She's station for she's fierce. You're something you know, she she has a really good energy and I really I really love watching her in the ring with her going against me a Yim. I think it was a really good match up because there's like Dynamic chops happening. There's it's just they have like an acrobatic kind of energy that like the it worked really well design. So I think it was again really solid and it was entertaining and I'm Going to see them and especially Keen Carter go against the mother appreciate women look that way. I didn't imagine did Chris for those with the match first about the match between Kincardine medium. I agree with you and I think the energy was good. The chemistry was great within those two. I think you know, yeah, it did pick up it picked up, you know where I felt we started to lack in the show. So I mean, I knew me a yam was going to take it but I was I was rooting for you because I know that's your boo boo over there harder, but I mean again, I agree. He's got a great skill set. I that there's there's so much potential there with her. I don't think it's gonna happen for a while, but I can see her getting a good push down the road and I'd like to see that because I feel she deserves it. You know that she's got a lot of tenacity. There's a lot of fight in the matches entertainers very back and forth. It was great to watch and I think they complemented each other. Well with the Styles in the skills. Yeah. I mean there was a really good balance back and forth between them. And so I liked how and I'd like to kind of how it where it was placed in tonight's episode. Okay, cuz it came after you know. Gurgaon is promo. And then it kind of led into the mean that's match the minimize. Let's talk fall out. What seems that the two warriors were rather embrace me like you did a good job. No you go you good. But then yeah Chelsea Green Oh my God. I think she's a reason I'll sign your now with Robert Stone brand walk me through this Emily met Chelsea Green Robert Stone attacking Caden car. Helpless Caden cut. I know yeah, I'm surprised you didn't like jump in there. You know, I was a surprise because we saw Chelsea Grin on raw. And so now the question is what's what's happening where she going? What is she gonna you know, what is she going to bring to NXT? And so the the conflict I'm wondering what's going to happen true. So David Christopher, so you got some Chelsea Green action. I'll couple weeks. The main event and raw the rumors are swirling that she was a raw signing but you know you see her here on NXT being managed by Robert Stone brand, but for me Robbie from TNA, is this the right move because agree did you want her to have that doesn't realize NXT or would you have put in raw without women's division installing these people would you have her float between both Brands? I think that's I think even wer Annex he's asking that question. Hence why they brought it back down because they brought up to Raw then like, oh, no, we're bringing you back down to next to you. So I think they're just kind of shooting. Things to see what works. Let's try something different. Let's try this. It's bring more talent. I think she can probably still go back and forth. I think that's still an option but they're trying to do something more with the NXT brand obviously. So and then the whole management thing with her. I mean that's something different different angle. Yeah. I'm curious to see that. Let's see what happens with that and I think that's something interesting to watch in NXT. I mean, I don't think necessarily need that and raw or Smackdown right now to be honest. So I think NXT is a good place for it. Yeah. I mean the most division is so strong and NFC and Ron needs a little help and so it might be Interesting to see if she bounces back and forth, but I don't want her story art and her her talent to like get diluted, right? So let's talk about like males managing female Talent. I'm trying to think of the last like big at situation that's happened. It's been a while. Do you think that an Emma can work with modern audiences or you think Robert Stone is going to be like the one that Chelsea Green juicer to a brand new audience or is it not necessarily? That's a good question. I mean who's going to be calling the shots here? Is it going to be almost like a Paul Heyman Lesnar thing where it's like all Heyman, you know, it's Chelsea and showcase the personality my skill or she's going to be in the ring like how that's a good question. It's out, huh? Yeah, it's really I feel like it's you know, it's just the first kind of introduction to it. So I feel like you know, Chelsea Green, you know is good on the bike and she has a voice and so I think if she tells, you know, everyone what she wants then hopefully she can push through and It doesn't get lost. Right. I also want to say as a nerd. I like the fact that Chelsey greens logos of the green our logo that's pretty cool neither here nor there. So I mean if it was a four-way match for the number one contendership for the North American Title Roderick strong is probably like, oh I'm doing tell me that you coming keighley Damien priest and Cam and Grimes who's already where the top hat only really needs now is race car and the boardwalks he'd let's talk about the match and how it ended. I'm sorry David Christopher thought about the match. The what the placement and what it means for the North American Title division. What a cool match to be honest II. Like I said before I try it. Yeah pin of the night. That's right. No, I just really enjoyed it. It was fun to watch. I mean, I'm like Damien priest in there, you know, it did some of his moves are super crazy, you know, and then that spot with Lee using him as a weapon to hit everybody else was hilarious. Yes. He used the man to beat up another man. Like I said, so as I do yeah, that's what I mean. Amazing, you know, and there's that moment there were we you know, we're all saying, you know, Emily how Grimes is going to pull it off and then there was like a split moment every like he almost did right. Wait what? What a brat. It was awesome. It's just a quick quick. Shout out to keighley cuz we had shot him out on my story. He acknowledged it appreciate that as well as well as Angel Garza Dan me as well. Shout out to you. Well, I'm sorry but one of our main goals for this year is to really push and type of the show as much as possible to get you know, all the superstars intentions just The best package we can for you guys out there watching so you can help us push this and get us to a thousand views. We're always in around 6 to 7, but we want to question hundred we want to get a thousand. So if you can share it with your mom your dad your sister your uncle friends brothers everybody. You can please do it back to you in the studio. So we're gonna try to get to a thousand views on this Main Event match. So I I love Keith Lee he is. Oh he I've enjoyed him for so long. And so the fact that he had this like superplex and he had all these moves and but what was what was weird and what I was trying to understand is I think they should have had this moment. We're all three of them were trying to take keighley down because he's like the biggest out of all of them. So just as like a story point, I was like, oh I could be cool if they had like not for the full match. But if there was a moment where they were like, oh trying to like team up to get him down to take him out. Yeah, but died Djokovic had really just amazing flips and stuff like that tonight. I think it was a great. It was just a great match. I enjoyed it. I think it you know it highlighted all the best for everyone so you Just before Let's Talk About Kevin Grimes. He's definitely the one guy that hasn't been flirting around with any division. Even dating Kris got some n a title action with with with Pete Dunn and all that but the last pay-per-view and of course, you know all those taking the pin right even though I really want them to witness to the fact that I will break like the the hierarchy of who were regularly. Let's talk about the mattress. I'm having Cameron Grimes in there. Is he ready for the main event here in XT? Because he seems to be the guy who's not when the breakout tournament but he seems to be feature the most out of everyone that tournament is These matches he's always flirting with these things. Got out of a short program with kushida. Is this their breakout couple months for camera grabs? I mean camera grams is I have to give it to him. I know we liked he's about like his ass hat and his gear. I don't do that ever. I know you're so sweet. Yeah, but he is working so hard, you know. Yeah, it's Rusty is working on. He was going to take it and shut up. Well if he should have I mean he could okay no degrees of me, but I'm just I'm just asking did you really just ask if Cameron Grimes is Main Event material right now? Yeah. When we have any fans of the rate Mustang, we also being very laser focus get in with a few getting win a feud whatever but we're seeing a lot more of an organic. They were camera crime. He's getting more screen time you me when Max is me lose matches, but very few weeks of NXT program goes by without seeing camera Grimes. He's the main event tonight. You want to losing in took a huge Spirit Bomb? Yeah. Is he a guy that would you put in that mix that that triple threat like that for a dance or is he someone that you just move up and down the car? Not not yet because here's the thing. And I'm rooting for grams are going wrong. I'm liking them. I like to push her giving them but he's got a long line to stand in first. I mean, you got pretty gonna put him above priest you can pump about done Balor riddle and other people as I mean, so so yeah, he can be in that mix but he's at the end of the line. Yeah. So it's only there was a North American television. It seems like they're doing is they're just kind of like they're they're keeping it a little fluid where they can move him in areas that they feel like they need to put him. And you know, he's being highlighted and really amazing matches. And so I feel like they're going to keep doing that and then hopefully they'll find a place where he can really rise and maybe get a few wins Fair keighley gets the win two weeks from now North American titles on the line. Keighley Roderick strong. We got Keithley Yeah, rightly clean like syrians or team comes back zip line and it's gonna happen. I mean because if he's gonna drop the title, I mean, do you think you think he's gonna do that clean? I don't think so. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, that's the Roderick strong Keithley kately really my boy. So Roderick strong with the first person that I missed you too are to lose his title. Yes. Oh, okay. Boom. I'm gonna back you back you just because I like where we're what we're doing with Keith Lee and he deserves it. He's at that point now and I think he Be perfect for you know, he plays gonna like 2020 is his year. Okay. So let's imagine if you imagine it might matter because the North American champion, right? What does that division mean though? It Keithley is a North American champion. What does he know the American child who visits not intercom title division is different. Yeah. It's in this NXT world is no faces or heels or main event or mid car. It's just an XT. I think it means opportunity. I think it opens up more because I mean we were kind of stuck in this spot now where we know Roger going to be the title. It's a heel Thing it's you know the drifting gold team. So I think now it's a shift it changes things down. I almost I feel like it gives it a flesh flesh fresh platform right there. So I mean so you can bring you know guys it by crimes or stuff like that or you know, maybe even priests and all that. So it gives other opportunities to our now we can see something different. Come on last question for you. Get out of here just a scale of 1 to 10 and XT zepa. So tonight first NXT of the year. Hmm, I give it 8 8. Whoo. That's okay.
