I'm not a drink for a while because I'm off tomorrow I feel like I deserve it. Jack Daniels and Coke, that's better. It's a bit like with the eating a bit better today and having some day cheese cake and ice cream for after some time. I feel like I've deserved it.

I'm just going to sort this wire out and about. Just the length, this fucking wire. It's like you get a microphone for a podcast and the wires have dead long. But you get a lead to charge your phone.

It's about three centimetres long. What's my name? It's a four-night night night. I had to order a longer lead, a third-party lead for mine.

Really? Well, I broke it. I broke my original. But then I was like, well, if I'm going to just order a new one, I'm just going to order one that's like two metres long.

Yeah, mine's stupid on my new phone. It's just, it's literally like as big as my hand. Yeah, it's a nine-in-a-half. It's like, it's a fucking nightmare.

It's a fucking nightmare. Absolutely. So what number are you on? Do you know?

I think it's 103. Well, let me check because I'm sure it's 103. This is a really rubbish part of the podcast, I believe it is because you guys... Can you be asking about 103?

Yeah, I'm not idea. So, we'll need an about on top. Well, then maybe a bit of news at the end and some general random shit. Yesterday.

Yes. Because we were kind of planning on doing one yesterday and then life got in the way. But I feel like we talked about loads of things yesterday that were really interesting news points. And now I can't remember any of them.

Well, we talked about some things before when in the bank about... It was in what happened, or just... I'm talking about people getting arrested and shit. Oh, yeah, yeah, remember that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, and TJP. Yes. Yes.

That was today. He's getting it. Yeah, like... Oh, there's loads.

I'm actually looking for it. Because I thought there was more as well. Hopefully they'll come back to me. I thought I would talk about loads of shit.

I feel like I was just a bit fallen to you before about a few things I've read. Yeah. That was great. But I don't really remember them.

It was all dull though. I remember the CJ. Let's just leave with the CJP thing. Fuck it.

What? Hold on your vote. Oh, okay. No, I'll sleep it's later.

Hello everyone and welcome once again to RTM Wrestling Episode 103 motherfuckers. Can you believe me? I fucking can. There's a lot of things I can't fucking believe.

Like that thing I just watched. Anyway, welcome to the Money in the Bank reaction show, review show, whatever the fuck you want to call it. This is where it's at. Money in the Bank's just happened for us.

Yes. Didn't say up because it worked after early. You've got to get your run in. Yeah, I go for an early morning before everyone hits the fucking streets.

Before we pound those crazy bastards. Yeah. Early night. Early night on a Sunday.

On a fucking pushback. When have you ever seen so many? Not bad done pushbacks. That aren't fucking jobs.

Because whenever I look on social media, the people on pushbikes are derided just as much as people are a jog. So. It's got to be more. I don't give a shit about a jogger.

People on bikes piss me off. People on bikes on pavements piss me off. They piss me off. If you're on a road, apart from when I'm driving my car, if you're driving me fucking car and they're on the road, I scream at them and put on the pavement.

I remember that time when I fucking slaved off that lad. When we were coming back from the media city and he was like in the middle of the road and he's racing biking. Oh yeah. In the middle of the fucking night.

Oh yeah, he got it. He got it. He got it worse than CG but he's a TGP. He's a fucking twat.

The poor bastard. He was a young boy as well. That's so bad. He was a young boy and he was like 20.

But like. But he was in racing. He's on the road where media city is to sulphur slash echols. There's a massive bike path.

It's huge. It's fucking huge. And this twat's going down the center of the road and just won't fucking move. I swear to God, I can't find anything more irritating than a cyclist who won't use a bike path.

Oh I can't go as fast on the bike path. That's what, when you said that to me. Like on a complete segue. When you said that to me, I was like, you fucking kidding.

That's their argument that they don't use a cycle path because. You can't go as quick. Because they can't go as quick because it'll slow them down. That was the middle of the night.

Like you can fucking rinse that bike path because there's no contours. But there's a con on the road. That con was me and I was not happy. Oh I wound me window down and gave me shit.

It's not going to be funny sour. But anyway. Just to drag it back to wrestling. Just going on a ragsheet that will not be named.

No I don't want you to send me notifications you fucking cunts. And they're opening stories. They'll lead stories back straight news on Braun Strowman Bray Wyatt. The feud is set to continue.

What gave you that idea you fucking knobheads? What do we want to talk about? We want to talk about first. Well let's get straight into Tony the Bank.

I think money in the bank and then only news if anyone's sticking around to laughter. Would you like me to share thoughts? I've got some sweets. I've got like literally two sweets.

I think you've only just done it on your side. I have. So if Mark will just stop and pause for a sec or he don't. So Gans game banter.

I asked what people thought of money in the bank. Gads replied fun fun fun fun fun. And Axel J Mo replied all of the money in the bank match made me laugh a few times. Bray and Strowman was a good match too in my opinion.

And the whole show was under two and a half hours. Praise me, POG. With money in the bank, five life funhouses and boneyard matches. I say the longer live the pre-taped pay-per-view era.

Fun fun fun. Yeah. Well, well, you're gonna have to wait until I think about it. So we'll start off with the kickoff show match which was Jeff Addie against his arrow.

Now I've got a major issue with this kickoff match is the fact that he was a kickoff match. Now I understand why it was because as soon as fucking after he stepped out, I was like, why was this not on the kickoff show? Well, we'll get to that. But yeah, so Jeff Addie looks a lot better in my opinion than he has done in quite a while.

The Swanson actually looked like the Swanson again and not just in falling from the top rope onto his neck. Yep. So yeah, I heard something quite a while ago now, but I don't know if it was true or not, but we're gonna go back to his old music. Yeah.

So the words or whatever it was, but like the WWE champion Jeff Addie music. So that'd be interesting to see where he gets to on this run. Yeah, yeah, God knows. Yeah, I really don't know where he's gonna get to.

But it's interesting that the using for a match against the arrow and not in the morning of the bank. So that's because he could have done quite easily. But yeah, I thought that was really interesting. Obviously, Harley wins, but it was nothing to kind of write on about.

It was just fine. It was just fine. So have you got any? Nothing.

Nothing. I thought I was gonna talk to you. Well, I'll let you start. Okay.

So in the Y2J slot, tag team championships, New Day, Miz and Morrison have forgotten some of the Lucha House party. Okay. I mean, it was just a lot of laughing. I'm slapping because it was, the match was fine, but it was fucking nuts.

Like it was all over the show. Oh, yeah. It was fucking mental. Yeah, it was so mad.

And it's like I said to you, like it seems to be doing every move and inch off the ground. Like it just didn't have enough room off the ground to do it. And it's like, oh, fuck, do it. Fast, we're an inch off the ground.

Like it just, yeah, it just seemed it frenetic is the word. And I know a few of them who were used to matches like that. Aren't that frenetic? So it just exposes the people who are quite experienced in doing that sort of stuff.

Yeah, for me, like it was just, it was time as we go, oh, ee. Yeah. You don't usually get that with New Day or with, you know, like Miz and Morrison. Like they don't give you those moments where you go, aye, you know, cleaning that?

Yeah. Like I said, you're working a bit hard for that. Like, you know, it's just, it's a bit like, ooh, um, whisk a whisk away from having a problem being a problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, you know, it was, it was got New Day entertaining as ever as winners. What was it? Kofi said that maybe that's why it's like praise a lot or something like that. I just don't know.

I did enjoy it. I felt like my heart was in my mouth watching it because I thought I was gonna go wrong You know nothing's gonna go wrong. It's not live. Yeah, so you can without this throughout this whole like era Even though like raw and smackdown are supposedly live and whatever.

I'm sure they are really well Okay, they're not like what's not why would you why would you know? Yeah, there's no reason why they would be live so you know nothing's gonna go terribly wrong But that match made me feel like someone was gonna go wrong and that's not great not a great feeling to have no I know what you mean. It felt to me like somebody had pressed like 0.5. That's all.

Yes Yes, and they were still doing the moves, but it was just so much faster Then I was kind of expecting it to be and I don't know if that's because the courts were better I could clean a coat and that kind of stuff and but yeah, yeah, I don't know it was it was okay. It was alright New day retaining I was like well, I'm gonna fucking shit Okay, so I'll take the lead on this one them so lashly defeat our truth So there's quite a few things that I have that are really dislike about this right and The no fault of theirs like really so When I was out of it when archery's music it and I thought him doing the what sorts of empty crowd was was possibly entertaining MVP coming out and then they said during actual before you know this might be alright as soon as lashly's music here. I was like The wing was just just just kicked out with me I don't give a fuck about this guy like I really don't give a fuck and then he turns to MVP is like I've a night off It's like I'm gone Sure, shut up your shit bag and then he swashes him fair enough now Here's my real issues with this particular match and for some reason I think really notice again until these particular Commentators were back on commentary so it was the raw commentators So it was it's sachston Todd Phillips if it's hard Phillips a camera his name and some I would Joe some of these somewhere Has said to them fucking cunts and everybody else bought coal. I think masks it a little bit better that Every time you say a wrestler's name somebody somewhere gets fucking paid something Every time you say a wrestler's name somebody buys a t-shirt or something like that They must have said and I challenge somebody to correct me on this in that squash match that three minutes squash match Or whether fucking was they must have said they must have full named Bobby Lashley at least 30 times To the point where after 10 I was like Got the same his name a fucking lot here and then they just carried on and there was literally a three second period Where Byron's accident said Bobby Lashley five times What Bobby Lashley wants is what Bobby Lashley gets and if Bobby Lashley wants a him and I was like whoa Why do they keep full name in him?

It's very jarring when you as soon as you latch onto it. It's so jarring It's one of them things like WrestleMania that a lot of people probably wouldn't know is but Re-ripply and shallow flare sounded like they were at fucking animals in a zoo and it was really off putting to me I was like why the fucking why are they doing that? And then it was like they were trying to compete with each other because shall it work doing it style And then she just started joining in and then I saw some article did you fold me that I was it? I think I saw it I didn't like wrestling fans ask why it sounds like a sex show.

Yeah, it didn't sound like a sexual at all It sounded like a fucking zoo. It sounded like how insemination is what it sounded like But yes, the same Bobby Bobby Bobby Lashley I got the same his name so many times there has to be a reason why they do it now They do it all the time anyway They full name people a lot to the point where I'm pulling me fucking arrow But this was particularly bad like why why are they saying Bobby Lashley over and over and over and over again? It'll make me fucking sense and my my crazy whatever Autistic brain latches onto it. I'm like actually I'm actually they must you know, why don't you say lashley?

Why can't they just say lashley? Yeah, well, they never said Steve Austin. Well, don't call Steve Austin They just said Austin in that yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like it was stone cold Yeah, exactly just and preferably someone had a longer name so you could have a variation So you didn't sound like you were doing that yeah, and that's you know, I sort of say stone cold or Steve Austin And they would mix it up in my from my memory. I could be totally wrong, but they mix it up.

Yeah, stone cold Austin. Yeah, they're out of snake Yeah, you know, even the rock because the rock is obviously they're gonna repeat the rock and the rock and the rock and the rock and the rock and the rock Of course they will of course they will however Bramable Rockey, but but it was fine when it was the rock, because for some reason it's it sounds better But when your because it's not full name. It's the rock. It's rocky is the only side exactly But for some reason Bobby Lashley thing is takes so long to say so many syllables Yeah, it's it slows down the commentary to the point where it challenged you out the commentary because saying it Be there be there be there be there be there be there be there be there it's like fucking hell And then there'd be a second of silence and they'd come back into Bobby Lashley What the fuck Oh my.

Yeah, and then Seth Rollins did his thing where he was like a Bobby Lashley. I was like, no, he did Drew McIntyre, sorry. Yeah, but he said Drew McIntyre a couple of times. Then said Drew.

Yeah, I was that into it that I was like, I just feel like everyone's saying Bobby Lashley. Yeah, you fucking, you know, Bobby Lashley won the money in the bank. What was he talking about? It's like Christ like.

No, I was buying his seizure guys. Chill. Like the dominator. Mr.

fucking dominator. I think the thing was- Take a night off, baby. I'm gonna trick this guy out. So you can practically see the needle mark.

Well, I don't understand about Bobby Lashley. And I'll be, I'm fucking doing it now. What I don't understand about him is that I don't, I honestly, honest to God and I'm not saying this to be facetious because I don't get it. Well, maybe it is because I don't get it.

But I'm not being facetious to swear. It's I don't understand where the one where the audience comes from and two, the moment, the Jesus, the momentum that they're trying to build for him. They're fucking off because it's like, is he with Lana? Is Lana coming out or is she not?

Because you're either gonna make them to a stable and then he's associated with her or he comes out on his own. And I think that at the level of the car, these are, you've got to cement who he is. So they did it really well back in the day with Rusef and Lana. So Rusef was mid-card even when he was particularly popular.

He was coming out of fucking tank, you know, like against Cena. Just fucking WrestleMania 32 or whatever it was. Like it's crazy. It was brilliant, but he was mid-card.

But they had cemented him so much where it was like he came out with Lana. That was his look. That's what he said. That's what he did.

Where's I feel like with Lashley. It's a bit all over the place. Are you with Lana? Is Lana your manager your type person?

Is she not allowed? Have I missed something? You either go whole hog because we know as much as we think of the whole Lana thing, you don't like, managers do work and they can really help someone's character. Especially someone like Lashley has to have a manager.

If you want to get him over as a human as a one man who's not with someone else, can you also need a manager? So it's like if he's got Lana who I do think did a fantastic job with Rusef and Rusef's great on his own. But Lana and Rusef were great. We're going to do the Lana and Lashley thing.

Where is she? I don't know. I think we may have missed something. I remember seeing her costume in the match and then it was like they were on the ropes as a couple and then there was something where they were fine again but they have not seen this in so for a moment.

But the problem is if they would have fucked about, I'm not saying that Lashley was Rusef because Rusef was brand new and Lashley's been around for a while. But if you're going to do the Lana thing, if you've got to go wholeheartedly into it and give it a couple of years, maybe it has been a couple of years. But I don't know, I just think that he as a character in it is just to be the thing which is fucking shit. The only reason why he's where he is is because he fucking pumps himself full of performing enhancers.

That's the only reason. He's not a great wrestler. He's not exciting to watch. How many people have they got to do the fucking spear for God's sake?

And someone's just come back. I can remember that thing like when he got leaked that he was returning. Before that month he was like really? Really the bringing back Bobby Lashley?

Where did he hang? DNA and he had a few MMA fights against flyweights where he was just holding him down in battle in him. I think that's harsh. I don't think he was going against flyweights.

But I remember him going against somebody early on that was like, look like fucking Bispin. Well, I just don't get it. I just don't get the Lashley thing at all. I think he's a complete waste of money.

Like he's like, you know, I'll let him go Rusef for fuck's sake. How many Rusef day T-shirts will he have sold a lot? No comparison to Lashley. It's the fuck's fine, Lashley T-shirt.

It's so bizarre. The Rusef thing I think has to have, I always have this thing though where I say that it has to have come from that person and then you see an interview and you think, oh shit, I was giving credit. I don't think I was giving credit to the person I thought was leaving. I was giving credit to WWE.

They would never let that person go over so many others. So that person must have asked for their release. And then you find out they didn't and you go, well, now it makes no fucking sense. Of all the people, I'm sorry to go back to the seconds, but it's like for all the people you let go.

The people you let go, if it wasn't their choice, was not. It was fucking random as shit. It was so weird. So, so the only thing I can think of in that scenario is that you got those people on very high contracts and you got the people who we believe should have gone on very low contracts and it's like, well, we can't reduce salaries.

So second, because we need to cut the costs. That's the only thing I can think of. Yeah, I think you're right. But Lashley ain't on a small salary.

No, of course he's not. No, not a fucking chance. Is he on a small salary. If he would have been like, oh, though, I don't know how many people would have been up in arms about his release, like really.

Somebody tell me if you are because if somebody genuinely listens to this, genuinely likes him. Great. That's fucking brilliant because I just cannot see it at all. That's the thing I got to hear that people actually are a fan of him.

And it's if someone tweeted or something and said, I'm actually a big Bobby Lashley fan. I won't go. Oh, you fucking loser. No, I'm glad there are fans because right here, right now, I don't see that he's that I believe there's no fans.

And the building for something, but there are any squash randomers and it's like, what's his hour? Why are you putting Lashley into his hour or whatever it was? It might not have been so. But, you know, it's like our truth is coming on a paper with you and squashing our truth.

What does that do? Absolutely jacks it. So that's, that's me annoyance with that. And it's very forgettable match.

I come and give two shit. Then the final annoyance, the final annoyance ruined a really good spot, I thought. And that was our truth interview. And I don't know how long it was after the match or whatever, but he's there and he's looking at his championship.

And it was hilarious. He's going to fucking 7-11 championship. You know, all that sort of stuff. And I was like, this is actually really good.

It's the first time I've seen him do that. So apparently the 7-11 thing he's been calling out forever. And he says, I'm going to sack you Tom Brady. And I started pissing myself.

Yeah. They had to explain that he was not right. It's like fucking Michael Bay motherfuckers. I don't need.

I don't need taking through. I don't need my fucking balls holding while I'm watching it. Everybody fucking watching this understands the joke because Tom Brady is an old cunt as well. Everyone who understands the fucking joke understands that Gronk is the champion.

It's not Tom Brady. We've just had WrestleMania. He was the host of it. Tom Brady didn't fucking show up.

Did he? He was hilarious. I was pissing myself. And as soon as she said that, what was the first thing we'd turn and said to each other?

Well, I said, I'll fancy that, Charlie. Yeah. Well, then you went, that fucking killed it, didn't it? Well, it kills it, it killed it, dead.

It kills it, dead. It is like we always say, and it's come from listening to Mark Kormo talking about movies, is that the whole like, we call everything. If you have to over explain yourself, it's Michael Bayon. Because it's like Michael Bay, he don't give you an inch.

You know, he just films, he over explains everything. He's got to explain. You can't. He trusts the audience.

None. None. So it's like, the audience has no intelligence to Michael Bay. So he has to just, he does something and then you get it, you get it, but then character has to fucking explain it and go, well, that's fucking heaven because of this.

And then we know we're there, we're there, we're not thick. But like, we're fucking horrendous with it. It's like, that's home-rated jokes, a great joke. Leave it.

We're getting it. We know Tom Brady hasn't got the 24-7. It's like they think. You fucking wish Tom Brady had it.

Do you know what, right? Do you know what, I know he used me about it. I'm going to put it out there. Is this?

I'm allowed to say this. I'm going to say this. I don't care if I'm not allowed. I'm not allowed to say it.

I'm sure it's not as nice as some stuff. No, no, no. It's that, I think that there's a real ignorance with American television with their own audience. And Americans get that joke.

More than I do. More than I do. If you're an American who doesn't understand that joke, then fair enough. You get it, you fucking get it.

You all get it. But it's American TV as a whole. It's the whole, like, tell you what you're going to see, tell you what you're seeing, and tell you what you just saw. It's like fucking out.

They do it all the time. Hey, Paul, in America, Saws are not a turda-youbid. There are some moments, there are some pockets of stupidity, just as I'm in the UK, just around all over the world, pockets of stupid, just pockets of stupid, just like a stupid thing, who don't understand little things, just as well everywhere. What Americans understand that joke?

Well, then Americans are watching and go, oh, well, don't be a bit mad at the European audience, maybe it's for that, because they don't understand. No, no, no, no, no, guys, no, guys, we understand. We get it, it's not for us. Not for us, though, everything for a minute.

But any of the dumbing down shit that you hear is ever for us. It's not because we're the most sarcastic bunch of comments. Horrible, horrible people, people that have ever met. Like terrible people.

It's not the most sarcastic. It's that piss out of each of us ourselves. We know that humour. It's not for us.

It's for you. So now you need to fucking take offence, because it's for you. So I just find it really annoying. Nobody starts to do kids with a bad joke.

Kids get it more than adults. I agree with you, but I think you're thinking about it too much. I think you're pointing too much into it. I think it's literally just, we have to explain it in case.

Because you said that when we watch it, in case somebody tweets it, saying, oh, it's not Tom Brady, it's Gronkowski you dumbasses. My opinion is that my reaction is like, fucking loam, let the fucking re-stars do it. You've probably still got some tweets saying it's not Gronkowski, are you? Exactly, but just let humor.

Let humor percolate and happen. Don't kill it. Oh, God. It's like killing it.

Dead. I stopped laughing instantly. It's a fan of the office. UK and America.

It would be like every single time that the Steve Carell or the fucking David Brann fucking Ricky Gebes character comes on. He says something. And then there's a person who comes on the sign language person in the corner goes, right, that's funny because it's like, that's the same wrestling. Does that?

He's like, they have to go. Listen guys, so hi, just being the part here, hi, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny language person. I'm going to just explain to you for a second why that's funny. No, we know it's funny.

We know it's funny because it got through about 65 writers. You all thought it was funny. You're all right. You're all right.

You're fine. You're cool. It just does be fucking adding myself. People in fucking China, in Japan, in India, and all that shit, we're getting that shit translated.

Well, God, and then Charlie would have said that in the gun. You ever know? Yeah, yeah. You've played a tape of everyone in the whole fucking world going, yeah, well, I know that.

Well, everybody just stopped laughing at the same time. Yeah, it's going, fuck's sake guys. It did right. You know what?

I mean, obviously we weren't as angry as we are now about it at the time, but it is so stupid. It just pisses me off. You've got Paul fucking Charlie's got to say it and you've got to be saying that. It's not thinking, great.

So I know that when I say this, the whole world's going to be going, fucking no Charlie. You're fucking absolute crank. I fucking know. I'd forgive him if Grandcores and the Wrestlead host.

If Grandc just run on and run off again, then I'll do it again. Then I'll do it again. Okay, some people might have thought that was some really. You know what?

You fucking mind, but some people might have done that. How many times did he pop up? He'd come up with a rock, a rock, a rock, a rock, a rock. Then he fucking went, oh, I like this anyway.

Well, which all she could have all like not her, because it's not her lines, but all like the thing he could have been was her going, what's wrong with it? Like, wrong Simmons, come on, damn. There you go. There you go.

Don't finish. Fuck off you, not bad. See, I'm glad this is next because we can get this out of the way, then we can get into the second potato. There's two meat potatoes to go.

There's two more before the meat potatoes. There's one more before the meat potatoes. Two. No, there's not.

There's one more. The meat and potatoes I'm talking cock and balls. So the Braun Strowman matches one ball. The back and tail matches the other ball.

Okay, okay. Okay. The one in the back matches is the big flaccid. Okay.

That's what I'm talking about. Was it flaccid? It started flaccid. No, it matters.

Okay. Bayley and Tamina. Oh, fuck it. Forgot that.

That's what I mean. No, there's three things. No, no. Right.

Forget about the cock and balls. Last. I know, right. Okay.

Listen, I didn't say this before. Not intentionally. But I read a thing where I don't know who said I think it was Bayley or whoever. I said that Tamina Snooker for the last fucking seven years or other long.

She's been like in there has been that person who's been backstage until the end of every show who's been congratulating everyone. It's come off who's been like dead support. I've been helping everyone. And she's always been there.

And this is now like I think it was Bailey saying like it's great that she's actually got a a shot because she's been like super backstage and really like nice and lovely and helps people train and stuff. So with that in mind and considering like, you know, I'm not ageist but considering the age she is, it is quite nice to see her getting a push and see you know, getting like singles but she's not just a fucking hench woman. So it sounds like she has backstage put the work in and stayed because like she had a period of time where she did fucking nothing and she was clearly always there. Apart from say to everybody on the number again, I'm not gonna change their face to it, like Elsworth.

That's why she got venge for six years. Just that line. But yeah, the Tamina thing isn't what makes me go asked about this match. It's the Bailey Sasha thing.

I just think it's really on entertaining. I think it's crap. And like fucking Sasha Banks coming out comes out looking like a novelty condom and they're like Bailey's just doing her crap heel thing and he's just like, when is this gonna be implored? Because then after it implodes we can all move on.

Well, so I don't know if I said this on last podcast. I think I did. Sasha and Bailey believe they can do this until next WrestleMania. So they believe that next WrestleMania will be their match where they are for big.

Really? Yeah. Do you think you've deserved that guy's like really? The thing is on Twitter though and no Twitter is no barometer but it is a kind of barometer.

But whenever I've been on the reaction to heel Bailey and Sasha is so overwhelmingly positive. I'm the only person and people really people say on Twitter love heel Bailey. Not people that we follow. I'm talking about like whenever I look at her like WWE people are reacting.

People like love this. Best thing she's ever brilliant. It's like, well, I mean, that's clearly why that's really why they're still doing it because it's not just a thing that's coming down from management because it ain't that good. So there has to be a massive public reaction that I really enjoy in it.

And I just don't personally, I just don't get it. No, I don't either. I mean, I mean, this this out thing was a lot better than the last one. There's a lot better than the rest of anyone.

You know, there wasn't any to my knowledge. There wasn't any particularly cringe worthy lines. But there's cringe worthy and then there's cringe worthy like you can laugh at stuff that's cringe worthy. But I just yeah, I just don't buy it.

It just doesn't it doesn't register with me. But if there's loads of people that love it, they're great. Keep it going. Like, because they because the last thing that they need is to implode something that's doing really well.

And then they don't get a WrestleMania spot. I think that's what they're aiming for. And I think that's why it hasn't happened yet. I think they persuaded the powers that being say, let us carry on a little bit more and let us build up.

And I understand it from their point of view. You've got to remember that they've only got now what they've had for the last since they've moved up. They've only got what that's been. If that makes any sense.

So the NXT thing so far away now is so far away that now all they have to build on is what they've done on the main roster. And it's not impressed you and I don't know that's all they've got. And I think they desperately want to have to actually do it this time. The singles match and be able to have those fucking videos play that video package of those matches, those two matches.

I think they're desperate for that. And I think they really want to blow the roof off. Unfortunately, for me, Bailey has to go back to be in face and says she's got to be healed. And there's nothing else that can happen in that.

And Bailey has to be mega mega mega face. And there has to be some sort of like big humiliation moment, not just someone costing someone a match. You're talking about like festival friendship moment. There's got to be something big.

But then because they're both quite heelish who cares and Bailey doesn't ingratiate itself as a heel. She's not like a fun heel. She's not like a heel that you like love to hate. She's a bit of a fucking dick.

So it's like, yeah, so how she's going to get back to being the person everybody's cheering for to that level that she was at NXT. I don't think she can get to that point. Unless they try and turn it on its head and I've sash her as a hit as the face. But to me, that wouldn't wouldn't go down that many would see this.

This is all I've got because any scenario any face any heel would work if they put the effort in. But I don't think they're going to pull the eff in because there's too many things. I think they're given their match, but I don't think they're not going to be made of anything. They're not going to be anywhere near the main event.

No, I don't think that that's what they want to do. I think they just want to take it to WrestleMania. And they won't get more than 10 minutes. So they won't get they won't have that NXT broccoli moment.

They won't because they're not going to be allowed to do it. And to me, the reason why they're not going to be allowed to do it is because it's not good enough. And like what we'll get on to after this is to let you know it's overwhelmingly positive from my side from here. I just think that to make the heel is you've got to have great faces for them to go against.

So to me, I'm not cheering for Tamina Sucker. No, because I'm like, well, she's been a heel forever. So the whole thing to get Bailey heel over is Sasha. That's why so the person that she's against is irrelevant.

And a lot of it is a little bit of bias after hearing that they were laying on the floor. And that they really spat the dummy out and they've spat the dummy out on loads of different occasions. I just think you're not, I don't understand why you're doing that because you're not that good. It's not, you know, and Shinsuke and AJ did it.

Shinsuke and AJ spat the dummy out because they weren't the main event. That's why the phone that WrestleMania shit in because they weren't the main event and everyone was super disappointed. And that was a match everybody wanted. But they cut their time, they didn't give them a decent amount of time and the they phoned in.

And that's what I think they've been doing for years now. So I I couldn't care less what Bailey does if Bailey went back to being a super face I won't care because I know for well that she's gone on the Austin podcast and she's gone to all these different things and ran them off about how mint they think they are. And this is this is the thing that like frustrates me a little bit with Bailey and Sasha in particular is they they should have come up and been a fucking whirlwind both of them. And I felt like for a few months they kind of rested on the laurels a little bit.

They didn't push the envelope, you know, like the word doing with NXT and they kind of just settled into that routine. And then as soon as somebody else came up above them, then they started kicking off. It's like, Oh, I'm gone. You've basically both become total divas without being on the show.

So don't fucking start winching now that Lacey Evans is getting a chance. Yeah, absolutely. I like the place they were taking the piss out of. It's like, excuse me, like Alexa Bliss is actually probably doing what she's being told and trying a little bit.

Can she wrestle as well as them? No, not in a million years. Those two wrestle rings around her, but she's getting all the opportunities for reason because she's connecting with the fans. Bailey's connecting with the fans to a degree, but it's not a consistent thing.

So the whole Bailey heel turn should have been much more massive than it was. Really? I didn't say it. So it should have been massive.

It should have been huge. And it wasn't. And I think the difference you're talking about the thing and the problem they got is four horse women of NXT. They're always going to get compared.

But if you look at them as two groups, obviously Charlotte and Becky have always been best friends and they say that on each of us fucking documentaries and stuff. Like that's my best friend. But they don't cling to each other when Charlotte was doing everything with those two. Bailey and fucking, or like with Sasha and whoever, Becky wasn't clinging on to her.

I feel like they cling on to each other and they cling and cling and cling and cling to each other to the point where it's like we're a two now. We're a two some do you fucker you fuck me? It's like well, then you've got to look at Becky and Charlotte who haven't done that. And they're both, I would say as famous as each other, they might piss Becky off sometimes with Charlotte's in the cricket fucking violence effort.

However, they don't need each other. They are not having matches every week. They're not in each of us pockets every week. They don't need each other to make their money and to make their legacy.

But they can still be best friends who look out for each other and all that bollocks. But it's like, whereas I feel like them too. And the whole like lying down bollocks. It's like it's like a wear a two.

So you take us as a two or you get rid of us. And that's the impression that it seems to have come out. And unfortunately then now, whereas Sasha banks to me out before horse women, apart from the facts of Charlotte Flair's legacy. And I've got to say her athletic ability was bonkers.

Like, Sasha was the star out of them to me. Like I think I got everything. She got a whole package. She had everything she would wrestle.

She had a cool character. And she had the, you know, if you're going to be very, very superficial, she had a look at all of them. And yet she has now gravitated to, and I'm not talking about the characters, I'm talking about them as humans. They gravitated to each other.

Yeah. Because that too soon, I don't believe would have happened for this long unless them two would come to each other. Like a married couple going, well, if they're like fucking Mike and Maria can Ellis, they're like the fucking saying it's like, well, we do that to that person, what you do to me, and we want to go to WrestleMania and we want to do this. Fuck me.

If Becky Lynch or Charlotte is done, that was one another. It would have you know, Charlotte would have been doing NXT shit. Becky wouldn't have been fucking about getting her nose kicked in. Like, you can't do that.

And I'm knowing I'm going off a lot of gossip here. But unfortunately, the reality reflects the gossip in this scenario. It actually reflects it. They have not been in each of us pockets.

And personally for me, Sasha and Bailey shouldn't be together in any sort of team. Don't compliment one another. They compliment one of his opponents, not as a tag team. So this whole thing of like, Oh, keep us together, and then we'll have his mad rival ring.

Don't buy it, don't buy your partnership. Patch them up, be real in real life. It clearly is. But I don't give a fuck about it wrestling wise because it's so stupid.

So you, Bailey, sorry, Bailey, but you are taken everything that Sasha's ever built up by being with you. Yeah. And Sasha being with her, yeah, you turned heel. It's what you always wanted.

But it adds nothing to one another. Take away from one another. And the dilution each of us so much that I personally won't give a fuck. However, WWE got the bell on her.

So they give a fuck. They obviously have a lot of faith. And if some people are enjoying it fair enough. Yeah.

But I, you know, I, there's a reason why they're not they were in the main event of WrestleMania and that must have hurt. Because especially because it was Sasha that got called up first and Bailey was held behind and Becky Lynch never did anything. So the whole the whole there's no smoke without fire thing is massive in this scenario. Because I've never heard other than WWE branded documentaries.

Becky Lynch say a word about how shit this situation is not was she said was but not is you know, she said I've got a lot of shit and now I'm the man. She you know, there's no there's no stories that I've heard of her fucking lying down in the corridors or going fucking anxious backstage. Like I'm the might be but I've never seen it where I've seen too many from them to and it's just like and gone no this this industry moves so quickly you get left behind. If you if you put one toe out a line you get left behind.

Nobody's that out. And I think that they're on the verge of being left behind because that yeah, she might be the champion she might be the women's champion or one of the women's champion Bailey but who the fuck it cares? It's Charlotte the two main title holders that they're going with a Charlotte and Becky Lynch. They're not going with Bailey Bailey's not in any adverts.

Bailey's not on any fucking TV shows. Bailey's not getting cast in a Marvel film. You know, she's not doing anything outside of wrestling and whether she could or not, who knows. But that's got her hurt in that scenario because the reason why they're not is because one that it's not good enough and two Sasha went fucking AWOL for four or five months and was asking for a release and all this kind of shit which yeah people were rags sheets were coming in on but she's got what she said released me released me if you're not going to do anything.

Yeah, I mean not on the telly considering that she actually got married at one point in her life two weeks off. And then suddenly after WrestleMania when you were the champion you come out with WrestleMania and you've got like six weeks where you're not on the telly. Yeah, she had a loads of time off. It's mental.

It's fucking mental and may I say where are the iconics? Where are they back in Australia? Where are they? It could be in Australia, it's been Australia since last September.

Like where the fuck have you been? Mental? Yeah, it's what's up to Magnus. Anyway, let's get the fuck off that because I was talking about shitzers.

Would you like another drink? Yes please. What have we got next? So what's next?

We've got Strowman and Bray Wyatt. Oh wow okay. So I thought this was great. I really did thought it was great.

I thought it was a good little place hold a match. Obviously, the ragsheet, they're going to carry it on because there's a whole fiend thing at the end of the match when Bray is just kind of looking at him. It was a lot more competitive than I thought it was going to be considering the whole missing that I watched ages a couple of weeks ago or from ages ago. Very hard to move in and then just one at the end.

But yeah, the puppet's turning up in putting his mask on. You know, at the time, yeah, I was kind of calling it saying, yeah, this is a great way to finish the match. He stops on the mask and then finishes him off right before he happened. But I really enjoyed it.

I thought it was great. I think Braun is great with title. I think him versus the fiend is a legitimate threat to throw them and I would be if that's one of those matches that I'm like, I've no idea. See again, see again.

I can see he's got off and again, I know. Well yeah, the fiend because he did the fiend thing at the end of so it's gonna be the fiend against throwman. But that is one of them where I've got no idea. He's gonna win.

No. So that that'd be great, I think. Well, that's that's really all I've got on that because I just really enjoyed it. It was the puppets coming up him with the mask, something on the mask.

I thought it was all really well done. Yeah, I agree. I enjoyed it. I like to.

It's annoying because you kind of know when Strowman had a mask on. You go in. No, you don't mean that was gonna happen here. But it was great.

It was really good because he actually went there and they did a little bit more than you thought when it was like he's against Bray Wyatt and you're like, Oh, okay. So he's coming out on his little jumper and he's clearly not winning because he's not fiend. So it's, you know, it's not a win straight away. If he's a fiend, it's not a win.

So it's like, you're like, do you reckon if even if he's a fiend is not winning. I think a match, a title match, absolutely. The fiend's not winning. No, no, no, no, Bray Wyatt ain't winning.

Oh, okay. Right. When it's a title match, right? When he's just in his jumper.

Forgive his a fiend. Yeah. He night when. Okay, right.

What I'm saying is when he comes out, when he came out, you know, when it was Bray Wyatt. So you knew it weren't gonna happen for him. So you knew that it was like, okay, it's gonna go in the favor of Braun ear. Yeah.
