We're supposed to be in for you My name is I think there's always I'm joined by that pocket rockets. Yes you are yes Yes, I'm good evening to you Saya to you No, I like Camelot We've not done this for a while So this is this is the RTM mindset ladies and gentlemen, so we go okay It takes fucking days for poor m here to edit the Reacts live can I just jump in there because I am I usually listen back to our show is just a bit of critique and all that jazz And I listen to the last one and you very kindly sort of pointed out that it took me days to Yeah, how I need to stress that I'm not just really shit editing She's a days I have a full-time job I have a long commute and I don't get much evening time so it's two evenings It's it's what it takes. Yes, it takes a shot the game for two nights tonight.

Yeah, so what so instead of saying okay? Let's like we thought we were gonna let's knock these live ones on the head and go back to the old format before we change nights And go for rovers his smackdown podcast What do we do fuck it? Let's do them both Let's start the show as we always do with your tweets and we start with phenomenal at Craig messy who has put the Golden truth one in under two minutes What is going on? Why can't it just be rolling to his Ambrose battleground?

That would be better the food fight was great with Kevin Oh, inside in under the table. I just want to know who green-pied him Enzo and bidcast saved super-senor thank God. It wasn't the use-os. Oh, great.

Oh Craig You got to watch the library acts when I go to find me and looking forward to the six-month tag now It will be good. I'll tell you right now, Greg. I would have preferred the use-os, but we'll get on to that later Is this the end of the WWE World Tag Team Champions? I hope not they are best from business hashtag hey We want some new day Zack Ryder got the win wasn't expecting that and they made seem to be with you look so much weaker than the other team They totally did it's so in fighting I'm not here we are over inside over inside let me scroll up and get more craigs So finally why did Kane get a disqualification with Kevin Owens?

He was already out Great we are like one person great minds. I think a lot but then he goes on to say let's make darn you great again with this show No, but it would be better than the ship remote of doing for him now So down it back up next we've got no holds barred WP who do it and amazing rest in the late podcast on the old YouTube and everywhere else as well So don't follow them but seen a versus styles feud is perfect You could even call it a perfect 10 over the net raw felt mayor can't wait for the draft totally agree with that the styles And we should bring that on the side so it's a talk of us as if I just thought before we wouldn't have anything to talk about but we do Next at the JM underscore one and that's ladies and gentlemen I'll spell it out for you D. W. J.

A. Y. E. M.

Underscore one who sport pair Cena with whoever is over on their own And then repeat that's hilarious. They've been doing it for years. Yeah I'm doing for years hashtag be brandy fashion hashtag all em and everything. Oh, buddy.

Thank you so much That's great. You are awesome. And then I think finally we jump across the pond. So our brothers who are at WW Locker talk and they have said might be one of the weirdest roles I've ever seen not necessarily bad just odd Good to see rider get another feel good moments.

Okay, so that's what you thought if some more come in in the meantime I'll jump in and really But that's what you thought I jumped. That's what games are what we thought and what did we first think of the food fight It was really funny. I got like an insight into my fantasy of backstage at ww We have to every show y'all just get together on big meal not a food fight. That's weird But like you know like I just thought I think it goes further What do you mean so we're able I should get far to it?

That cake was going in every crime And then she just came up. She came up looking at the TV screen like looking at layers of our Oh my god I'm turning off summer turning off a five minutes. Oh, he's under a table for fuck sake. Oh, no It was really funny so funny so bizarre like it was it was really weird you could tell that it was a holiday show It's like when they have the Christmas specials and like I'm sorry.

I can't carry on because you're just grinning like It's difficult when you just say what you're gonna say. Okay, this is what happens. This is all we got the board meeting big Vinnie Matt comes in sits down and goes Fuck it. No one's gonna watch anyway And just like literally the entire show was like fuck it.

No one's watching this Anyway, let's do whatever we want whatever we want. Let's do it and I post by the side Or maybe there's like some poor kid who's like a work experience kid on the concept team Just get Starbucks every day and the like Vinnie. This is your week. You're right in raw He's not even called Vinnie.

He's called Tim They just call him Vinny cuz like he's the guy who gets a stop Vinnie. Vinnie Junior. He's like the son I'd ever had Right in raw. Okay, is that right?

It's over? And you're left for half an hour at the show started It was good. I enjoyed it very much It was weird and it was like you could take that show pick it up and remove it as though It never happened like it was all like a dream Like a weird dream that you're like that was odd and held back to normality. Yeah We're Kenny dying all the time.

I'd have got the win, but next week you'll be chopping to fucking Puerto Rican lads Got some offense in Fuck to some Ray for so let's take some talking points out. So we got much one it's tight as O'Neill against Rusev Reasonably good match surprising result. I really thought they'd go for the tightest win on this one It was yeah I thought so as well but it's too early in the night if that ended it then they would have done the big thing I'm surprised I didn't give it to tires because Rusev arguably is doing the best work of his career Oh, yeah, he's been overshadowing Lana and when we would we ever have said that? I know we are still mean but yeah Lana might as well not be there at the moment She could just be take now the equation apart from you know some pervy dudes.

So don't think anyone would notice So Rusev wins a very funny doing his whole chance for us saying shit like that Then we get the Damien Sandar wannabes coming out dressed as Paul Revere and what's the minute man? I've played for anyone there And then and so big cast comes out phenomenal as always yeah, we wish they would have left it there But hey, you know it shows To talk about the whole scene of thing as well to drop it in here now It's a big it's a big feather in the cap. Are we talking this now? Yeah, I'll go for it now.

Oh, yeah Yeah, fuck it's going now. Oh, yeah, no, no, it is I think it's I think if you get that you know you get chosen you the chosen ones to be with see that I'm sure you feel It's just a bit disappointing for the viewer and I called it. I said I think it's gonna be ends own big cast Yeah, I feel it's because they're so over that it had to be someone who the crowd weren't gonna go Because styles and the club would do is such amazing work They had to bring the super baby face in to just make the crowd not be pissed off that that was interrupted because it was so Good. Yeah, it was so good.

Yeah, that's the stand off me. It's not as old because it's there It's them three they were just absolutely brilliant. How funny is carlin listen amazing amazing. What did he say?

I've been Christmas with my hot Asian wife dropping presents for the kids. What are you gonna do Carl? Oh, thanks. Thank you for asking me.

I'm gonna beat up John Cena So funny. Oh my god. They were all brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

AJ's just got this that stupid granny does Ad deserve it last year last year. Jesus. It's been a long week. Um, no, I really enjoyed that And so big cast coming out charred me because it's not complimentary of Cena and Well, it was just so predictable because they're so popular and they're so over that you had to do it But it wasn't for me.

No, it's not what my dad said It was at DJM once go on to it. Um, it's literally it's the same thing again It's that it's the Daniel Bryan effect. It's put put see, you know with the people that legit over on their own Unless you know stopping from getting booed from another. No, it's really frustrating when you really I love Enzo big cast And I'm not gonna do them any harm, but to me, it's just a little bit disappointing saying the final their own And you'll see it also on the library acts whenever that goes up Um me screaming at the screen like why is seen as music playing?

I know Yeah, I was using clean at the end for straight saying they come out and save him and yet he seen as music that gets played It's like fuck off and I'll just show you the mentality and the whole thing that we just said about it You know all the get shit. They got chosen. They got yeah, they got chosen because they're over Got chosen but you know it's moochie moochie time. Well, it's if it wasn't them It would have been it would have been new day if they weren't yeah, it has been new day It has been new day.

So everyone every baby face gets their turn to help see Usos are not like the most popular people at the moment because of her own reigns probably so Yeah, anyway, let's move on. Let's move on. We got another live so he comes out heal and chevida and trivia Spelly out for you ladies and gentlemen. It's heal echv eve Wlr.

Ia and he's but How the hell is golden truth still a thing? Baudhylons deserve better also bad ending multi national team was stacked. It was stacked. We'll get into that Yeah, a little bit later on.

Um, yeah, so next go for the old women's angle. So sashia shalot and The ridiculous day now Does make me laugh is making a lot more more that backstage bit which was walking past and she just bumped Just started laughing. I was like, I bet that wasn't even scripted. Just thought I'd do it Just so funny and we we did make the comment and I feel like I'm just like repeating things I say in the live show But anyway, um Did make the comment that shalot's got so much better on my like, she does Ridiculously good now compared to when she first came in and she was trying to cry and it was just awkward and Doggie things that she had to say and they just sounded really forced.

Yeah, I think with that so early on She had a few like testing storylines that probably would work now if she had it which we're still doing the facing I think she's a natural heel. I think she's just grown into it a bit I think she's a bit over confident. It's like when sashia's music's hitting she's like, oh, you're gonna boo me still It's like no just chill out with you and then and then let it go But it's great. It makes the much battleground interesting.

There's no way Dana's not gonna interrupt it That was the first time since NXT I've seen Sasha Banks with the mike so long Usually she's been like the silent one kind of coming out and everyone's just cheering since no she is It was amazing to hear a talk again in the ring because I feel like I've not seen that for ages Ages and ages and it was quite a long time. It was decent kind of like back and forth between them So I really enjoyed it. So she's gonna knock Dana Brooke out again, but she probably will and she did at the time She probably did but in real life you wouldn't mess with a proper She's like Don't worry about it Take Sasha in her bicep She's terrifying. I just think she's super scary in the best boss.

She's she is which makes a funnier she is and I don't know Whether it's time I get onto this but she does remind me of Vicki Guerrero. Yeah, my highlight of the night Oh, yeah, go for that. Yeah, let's just jump to that moment. Oh my god.

I've been sort of saying nothing on the last sort of two live shows or I've mentioned her anyway Yeah, I love Vicki Graham huge fan So funny absolutely hilarious. I really like Ricky, but you know our IP But you know I was so so pleased to see it. It was amazing Oh, no, he does not know who she is But no, I love that that was one of the best moments of the night and I imagine probably not for people because I don't give people a huge I love yeah, and I'm totally with you as well that I think in Manchester that she did when like the crowd would challenge She just like turned and just looked at whatever The comment time and it was just phenomenal But the edited it a bit out like the show could like she took some shit Rock and everything So horrible to her the joke was you're fan ugly your haters And it's just like she just took it and just ran with it and was okay with it and you think bloody hell fair place So yeah fair plate of coming out in those heinous outfits every week as tight as you're like oh god I know I was so pleased to see it. It was great big big highlight of my night.

Definitely definitely So to skip over the sort of matches a little bit so we had the the middle the mid card we should say as the WWE Championship So can we not build I mean I know they wanted to do the main event and everything like that But can they not build a they're not gonna be too much without without gusset over there, you know I can't deal with the facts of how Naph it is how they're kind of treating Ambrose as a champion. They're just not taking him seriously as a champion at all At all. It's not like it's not like he's a real champion. It's like he's a stand there.

Yeah, it is It's crap. It's so crap because I'm not a huge Ambrose fan. Don't get me wrong Like I'm really gonna shit to be honest But I still think you know if you've got if you've got that championship and everybody likes you and you're a bit of an odd character But yeah, you still a face. I think that's really quite hard to do Yeah, it's crazy and that's a point in that match in that shit slot.

I don't know I just wasn't I wasn't into that at all. I think they're making a rightness of Ambrose's chump I just don't know. I don't think they know what to do. I mean, I will I will reserve judgment until next week So this is that you know the Memorial Day Sorry guys So Fucking Fucking air Jordan day Kind of day is air kind of day every day's air Jordan day Clean baby But yeah, so I'm gonna reserve judgment list till next week So I instantly when we when he came out, I was like right mid-car he's doing as the Miz champion versus champion Let's see what he does next week.

Yes, if it's not if he's not in the mid-car slot next week Then you know we can I can reserve getting angry by until until then I think yeah I mean I love the fact that Rawlings comes out and starts bragging on reigns again like Like everyone of you cheaters quoting corners. So that to me that screams that is said say's been on quick I know they're being really quiet. They're not afraid about coming forward on this. They've not like to rush it under the carpet I do I really love it.

Absolutely. What's he playing at silly boy? Well, he obviously needs it gonna be big But the big guys you know, I think reigns is about five six years too late Yeah, like I think six years ago if he'd have been like at this place eight years ago reigns would turn up looking like I think you would have been Fucking huge. Yeah, I agree Huge change of the way it goes and he's just he's on the cusp and he's the wrong guy He's the wrong guy not the guy The wrong guy that's great.

We gotta remember did I see a tweet from game? Did so I gave answers put just put simply keep calm and p.m. John Cena Don't mind if I do what is it Halloween soon? Yeah?

He saves no dress up as oh my god I'm gonna be up John Cena Literally can watch that I could watch that again like I really could if it's on like youtube is one of the best moment It's game watching yeah as soon as they bring the club t-shirt out that's into the by insta by right so What do we bother with let's make down a game? No I feel like the cross face chicken wing is a kiss at death. They tried to give it angle for a bit That didn't work. It's like Bob backlin comes back every now and again and give somebody the cross face And it just doesn't work and it's no I think the what's wrong with a gut check for a finisher It's great finisher.

What's wrong with putting the guy maybe in the ring just before the draft You know so we can see in Russell so the one we get excited about which brandy goes to because I don't give a foot where he goes right now And we've got two weeks until the draft and he's still doing these shit promos Yeah, the ring the guy can wrestle I used to find him really entertaining I mean, I know he was I've only seen him in the tag scene to be quite honest with you I'm not seen on his own, but I'm sure he's got charisma. You know, he's got the moves. Why not getting just wrestling This is crazy. Well, he's t-shirts and stuff like that.

He's coming out in t-shirts. I look branded So it's like no and then oh is that is yeah, it looks like it looks like a charity thing I don't know why it might be chubby. It's been coming to the ring at like live events in it Oh, I say so if that's if that's like a t-shirt, you know, you could legitimately get behind that what you can't get behind He's Bob backland. I mean even watching those promos.

It's super painful when he says he's bit He's then looking at someone to give him his cue. You know, it's awful Worst, worst idea. He's reading with his neck Honestly, I don't know doesn't need that but he just needs some decent matches and that's it That's it and all this time in that time. You could just squash a no mark in that time and then just walk So he's gonna put it over.

Yeah, exactly Just put over everyone in that food I know with his little arm sling on there Yeah, I don't know what I want to do with that But like if the thought that these fucking vignettes worked like after the whatever they came in with called the poor He can ethical pre-mail would even call them as shining stars or something like that. Yeah, fucking it's not worked They've been there like and it didn't work for lost my door. It's either like surely surely you must look at it and think okay Two months worth of promos doesn't work. Just get them out there and get beat in some just wrestle Just wrestle for goodness sake because I think is we know who they they are ethical and primo We know who Darren young is we don't need these vignettes to introduce them back I Real I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
