Mailbag #255: John Cena's IC Title Win, Dom's Delayed Babyface Turn, Survivor Series War Games, Nikki Bella's Fragility

<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the mailbag here on the WW podcast on
<v Speaker 1>this Friday, November fourteenth to twenty twenty five. I will apologize
<v Speaker 1>in advance. I've got a bit of a cold going on.
<v Speaker 1>My voices kind of hitt and missus. You can probably
<v Speaker 1>already tell already, so I'll try to keep my speaking
<v Speaker 1>to a minimum, but still get through this. And tonight
<v Speaker 1>we have SmackDown, and I will be in attendance. Believe
<v Speaker 1>it or not. If anybody is going to be there,
<v Speaker 1>let me know, but I will be there for hopefully
<v Speaker 1>what is going to be a good show. From what
<v Speaker 1>I understand, nine thousand people are going to be there,
<v Speaker 1>so WW has done a nice job of selling tickets.
<v Speaker 1>It's not a sellout. I believe the MVP Arena holds
<v Speaker 1>twelve thousand or so, so it's not a sellout, but
<v Speaker 1>it'll look better and you won't have those massive amount
<v Speaker 1>of empty seats that we've seen over the last couple
<v Speaker 1>of Smackdowns and that. So I'll let you know, Hotkos.
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you'll get my in person perspective on SmackDown on
<v Speaker 1>Sunday's WEE Can Review, but you'll get me actually throughout
<v Speaker 1>the show tonight if you are watching SmackDown Live, because
<v Speaker 1>I will be on X follow me the ww podcast
<v Speaker 1>on X. That is my name. The actual username is
<v Speaker 1>Wrestling Underscore Audio. But I'll be giving my in person
<v Speaker 1>thoughts as we go along, maybe sharing some pictures and
<v Speaker 1>whatnot as I attend SmackDown tonight. So we're gonna get
<v Speaker 1>to the mail bag. Let's just see that right now,
<v Speaker 1>because I'm going to try to utilize my voice while
<v Speaker 1>exit it exists, and that means also I won't be
<v Speaker 1>able to really, you know, go tonight and be very vocal.
<v Speaker 1>I won't have anything left, so I'll have to deal
<v Speaker 1>with sign language, which is really all I'll be relegated too,
<v Speaker 1>So let's get into it as best I can. Guys,
<v Speaker 1>I sound like a child right now. All right, where
<v Speaker 1>we want to start, Let's start with uh, let's see here.
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with Kay from Toronto and excuse me. Kay says, hey, Hope,
<v Speaker 1>I squeezed this under the radar. Overall, a good week
<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown. Cody kicks off, yawn, but I do like
<v Speaker 1>ab and especially Zelena als for black Jade another yawn,
<v Speaker 1>but CF versus Naya. I love how you put these
<v Speaker 1>You always initial the names and I have to actually
<v Speaker 1>think about who the hell you're talking about. It takes
<v Speaker 1>me a second, but yes, cf. Charlotte Flair versus Naya.
<v Speaker 1>The ending was unexpected with lash legend, but I think
<v Speaker 1>they finally have a direction for Nya and the Tag Division.
<v Speaker 1>They will be hopefully formidable next very quick. But Chelsea
<v Speaker 1>Green is champ again. I like this as she is
<v Speaker 1>the total package. The main event was good and the
<v Speaker 1>ending was better as Drew was up to know good.
<v Speaker 1>The suspension angle works, but he can film his Oh
<v Speaker 1>so he can film is a new movie. That's the
<v Speaker 1>one thing I'm a bit sad about. I'm not gonna
<v Speaker 1>see Drew tonight because of the suspension, and it looks
<v Speaker 1>like that's gonna hold because he's filming a movie which sucks.
<v Speaker 1>So all right on raw. The opening was great and
<v Speaker 1>went as predicted. Sina beats Dom to get the last
<v Speaker 1>piece of the Grand Slam puzzle. No surprise there. Now
<v Speaker 1>what goes on moving forward? Does Sina lose the Icy
<v Speaker 1>title or will there be a tournament or something once
<v Speaker 1>he's gone. I would think it's a tournament, or I
<v Speaker 1>mean it could be Battle Royal. I would think Tournament
<v Speaker 1>of sorts, or it could be just qualifying matches for
<v Speaker 1>a you know, to get to a triple threat at
<v Speaker 1>a Survivors series or rather at the Royal Rumble or
<v Speaker 1>something like that. I mean, after seeing a drops it,
<v Speaker 1>which again could be before December thirteenth. You could even
<v Speaker 1>have the new champion at December thirteenth, if Scene is
<v Speaker 1>not going to defend his belt on December thirteenth. But
<v Speaker 1>either way, I mean, I I am like the only
<v Speaker 1>one screaming about this that this is a silly decision
<v Speaker 1>for Sena. It does absolutely nothing for him nothing. It
<v Speaker 1>doesn't add his career in really any way. Just to
<v Speaker 1>be able to say he's a Grand Slam champion, to
<v Speaker 1>me doesn't do anything more than it did prior to
<v Speaker 1>him not being a Grand Slam Champion. But I understand,
<v Speaker 1>I totally understand why people feel that way, all right.
<v Speaker 1>The punk nonsense was simply a war game setup. Why
<v Speaker 1>are they rehashing Nicki not needed? There are too many
<v Speaker 1>other options. I hate the Kabooki Warriors, as I find
<v Speaker 1>Oscar extremely annoying, but I have to admit they can wrestle.
<v Speaker 1>Don't like what seems to be a Charlotte Flair, Alexa, Split,
<v Speaker 1>Naya and Lash will be the next champs. Another Wargames
<v Speaker 1>set up with Rhea and EO added good shows overall,
<v Speaker 1>and I did not like.
<v Speaker 2>That.
<v Speaker 1>I did not like but Cess Levy, I don't know
<v Speaker 1>what you're talking about. I have no idea what you're
<v Speaker 1>talking about. Kk cesst Levey is that French for something?
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Keep up the good work. I'm over
<v Speaker 1>my World series disappointment.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a tough one. That's a tough one, no
<v Speaker 2>doubt about it. It's a I already went over the
<v Speaker 2>last time. But to come within essentially an inning or
<v Speaker 2>actually one hit, one hit to win a World Series
<v Speaker 2>is insane. So it's that commercial. I don't know if
<v Speaker 2>anyone remembers of that old guy holding a dollar. He's
<v Speaker 2>got a fishing pole on a dollar and he's saying, oh,
<v Speaker 2>you almost had it, Like.
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm picturing for Toronto, brutal. Okay, let's go
<v Speaker 1>to another patron. Let's go to j M. And Jay says,
<v Speaker 1>when do you think we might see a judgment day
<v Speaker 1>turn on DOM? I'm thinking Survivor series No later than
<v Speaker 1>the Rumble. It's definitely coming soon. Well, I hope it's
<v Speaker 1>coming soon. Dominic Mysterio is in desperate need of a
<v Speaker 1>baby face turn, an official one. I thought we were
<v Speaker 1>on an official one because it kind of happened at
<v Speaker 1>Wrestle Madia and WW he said no, no, no, no,
<v Speaker 1>hold on, hold on, and they backtracked and made him
<v Speaker 1>more of a heel again. And then he after shortly
<v Speaker 1>after that when kind of on a baby face turn
<v Speaker 1>organically in the wwe didn't seem to be too opposed
<v Speaker 1>to it. And then Ray Misterio two weeks ago and
<v Speaker 1>this past week John Cena, and you know, having him
<v Speaker 1>oppose both of those men, it's not gonna help his run.
<v Speaker 1>So I hope you're right there. There is a turn here,
<v Speaker 1>and we're waiting for Finn. Finn Baler and dom have
<v Speaker 1>had tons of issues over the years, literally, and I
<v Speaker 1>don't know how they don't get to that and have
<v Speaker 1>Finn play the heel. I would agree. I would say
<v Speaker 1>before the calendar year is over, he'll be on an
<v Speaker 1>official babyface run. Okay, I don't know if you've talked
<v Speaker 1>about this before, but who is this green smiley shirt
<v Speaker 1>green guy that always is in the front row of
<v Speaker 1>every pl even if he has Richard gets free tickets.
<v Speaker 1>I can't even imagine spending all that money on airfare
<v Speaker 1>and hotels. I'm jealous. Thanks, and have a good one. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>he's very well known. I don't know his name. I'm
<v Speaker 1>sure somebody you can google it. He's there all the time.
<v Speaker 1>Green shirt guy there was like a red hat guy.
<v Speaker 1>There's you know, the mainstay fans that seemingly have endless
<v Speaker 1>amounts of money or just don't care about going into
<v Speaker 1>endless amounts of debt either one. They just seem to
<v Speaker 1>be there every time. And I have to say I
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want that. There is a certain comfort in being
<v Speaker 1>at home. I wouldn't want the travel and the headaches,
<v Speaker 1>even if my bill was foot now and have the
<v Speaker 1>bill my bill was footed, and to be paid for
<v Speaker 1>all of it. Yeah, I'd probably go to a lot more,
<v Speaker 1>but I still wouldn't want to go to everyone. There's
<v Speaker 1>something to be said for wanting to be at home
<v Speaker 1>and be with your family, or just be by yourself
<v Speaker 1>and in the comfort of your home, laying and your bed,
<v Speaker 1>laying on your couch, laying in your chair, whatever you
<v Speaker 1>want to do to watch the event. There's something to
<v Speaker 1>be said for that, that is that you know, you
<v Speaker 1>can't capture and being live, now, being live certainly has
<v Speaker 1>its benefits. You know, it can be addictating right here
<v Speaker 1>with the other fans, but being with other fans sometimes
<v Speaker 1>as a downer. I mean, I've been to some wrestling
<v Speaker 1>events that have with the fans around me that are
<v Speaker 1>just like, you know, total trash, just garbage people, even
<v Speaker 1>here in Albany in my last event actually happened too,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just total trash, like the filth of all
<v Speaker 1>money around me. And so I certainly don't want to
<v Speaker 1>deal with that every time, and the hassle of parking,
<v Speaker 1>in the hassle of getting there, and you know, you
<v Speaker 1>get to pay for your food, and you're right, I
<v Speaker 1>mean again, So yeah, alrighty, thank you buddy, and let's
<v Speaker 1>go to of course DJ. And let's see, he says,
<v Speaker 1>my MacBook's hard drive almost crash, but thankfully, after restarting
<v Speaker 1>my computer three times, it's fully functioning. Well, oh, you
<v Speaker 1>have a thirteen inch MacBook since twenty sixteen. Oh my goodness. Wow,
<v Speaker 1>you're hanging on to it, man. You are squeeze in
<v Speaker 1>every drop of its value out of it. Good for you. See,
<v Speaker 1>I'm a fool and I have this problem where I
<v Speaker 1>have to have like the latest gadgets. So that's a
<v Speaker 1>big part of my budget. Unfortunately a good thing. They're
<v Speaker 1>write offs for the show, but when I do taxes.
<v Speaker 1>But that said, yeah, good for you. I mean that
<v Speaker 1>means you haven't even gotten into the M one, M two,
<v Speaker 1>M three, and four and five series of MacBook pros
<v Speaker 1>or just regular MacBooks even the macwillgeers have the M
<v Speaker 1>one series. I mean, you go from Intel MacBooks to Silicon,
<v Speaker 1>your mind's going to be blown. Me from my friend,
<v Speaker 1>even if you only have like a you know, four
<v Speaker 1>or five hundred bucks, you can buy of an M
<v Speaker 1>one or M two used and it's gonna blow your mind.
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, you got to get off that thing.
<v Speaker 1>You gotta get off it and try the Apple Silicon.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'll get the sponsored by Apple. Okay, just a
<v Speaker 1>few quick thoughts. I can't believe it's been twenty years
<v Speaker 1>since Eddie Guerrero's passing. I remember vividly watching the November
<v Speaker 1>thirteenth episode of Mynnette Raw from my friend's TV. Since
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have cable back then, I couldn't stop crying.
<v Speaker 1>I was really sad for several weeks in two thousand
<v Speaker 1>and five. It felt like losing a close friend, even
<v Speaker 1>though I never met him. Viva Lorasa, Long live Ndy
<v Speaker 1>Guerrero DJ. Thank you for bringing that up. I can't
<v Speaker 1>believe it's been twenty years either, twenty years ago yesterday.
<v Speaker 1>I remember it very vividly as well.
<v Speaker 3>We all.
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you're a wrestling fan for some reason,
<v Speaker 1>it's like you always remember where you were when you
<v Speaker 1>heard the news of Eddie, and for you, it was
<v Speaker 1>you know, you were watching Raw. I don't know where
<v Speaker 1>you were when you found out, but you watched that
<v Speaker 1>episode of Raw at your friend's house. And yes, back
<v Speaker 1>then it was cable and twenty years two thousand and five,
<v Speaker 1>My god, it's a lifetime ago for all of us.
<v Speaker 1>I mean I've shared this before. Sorry, guys, I apologize again,
<v Speaker 1>but I'll just share it quickly again. I mean, I
<v Speaker 1>was in Coastal Carolina. I was in South Carolina, right
<v Speaker 1>near Myrtle Beach where I used to go to spring break,
<v Speaker 1>and I decided to go to college down there, and
<v Speaker 1>that was a good and bad choice. That's another story
<v Speaker 1>for another day. But I was there down in coastal Carolina,
<v Speaker 1>and I remember looking at my opening my laptop mount
<v Speaker 1>of morning or whenever the news broke. I think I
<v Speaker 1>might have been midmore, late morning, and I remember the
<v Speaker 1>first thing I saw on ww's website. It was because
<v Speaker 1>that's where you went for the news, was w dot com.
<v Speaker 1>And I remember the picture very vividly, and it said
<v Speaker 1>a picture of Eddie and it said tragic loss. That
<v Speaker 1>was the caption. And I'm like, wait, what I'm thinking?
<v Speaker 3>No?
<v Speaker 1>Is this a story? Storyline?
<v Speaker 2>Right?
<v Speaker 1>You got this is some kind of story? It's you know,
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, WW wouldn't clickbait their own stuff. But I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>oh maybe this is a story. Obviously not and that
<v Speaker 1>raw will forever remember sitting there too, And I was
<v Speaker 1>got twenty years old? How old was I twenty? And
<v Speaker 1>even at that point, I'm not a shamed to admit
<v Speaker 1>I was crying like a baby. I mean, you're right,
<v Speaker 1>it was like a guy that you didn't you never met,
<v Speaker 1>but you felt like you do. And there are certain people,
<v Speaker 1>very few in your life, not just wrestler, has been
<v Speaker 1>outside that You're just like, why is this hitting me
<v Speaker 1>so hard? Eddie still does? I mean I'm not sitting
<v Speaker 1>here sobbing every night. But there's something about Eddie's death
<v Speaker 1>that it hit like differently than any other wrestler's death.
<v Speaker 1>Owen Hart's was tragic, yeah, others Aul Cogan's was sudden.
<v Speaker 1>Ric Flair's is probably imminent. Not to wish death upon him,
<v Speaker 1>but boy, every time you hear about Ric Flair, him
<v Speaker 1>not showing up and everything else, I mean, he's on
<v Speaker 1>death store. I mean that's just true. I'm not wishing
<v Speaker 1>him ill at all, but the man is, he's just
<v Speaker 1>aging and we're all going to be there. But you know,
<v Speaker 1>you had Ultimate Warrior Pass. You know, Crispin WA's tragedy
<v Speaker 1>that is much different than others for different reasons. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>we had a lot now and there's nothing like Eddie's.
<v Speaker 1>Eddies just hit really hard. And yeah, so okay, moving on,
<v Speaker 1>speaking of Eddie Garraro, his illegitimate son Dirty Dom. That
<v Speaker 1>was great was seeing a lot of reports before this
<v Speaker 1>past raw of him challenging seen it for the title,
<v Speaker 1>the Icy title, and then the moment actually happened and
<v Speaker 1>scene is now a Grand Slam champion. But my question
<v Speaker 1>is will WWE Creative put the title back on Dom
<v Speaker 1>for next week's Raw in MSG, or does WWE Creative
<v Speaker 1>shift their focus to book Dom to face his father
<v Speaker 1>at Survivor Series wargames. The crowd loves Dom even though
<v Speaker 1>he's booked as a heel. I just don't understand both
<v Speaker 1>the title change and the possibility of Dom versus his
<v Speaker 1>dad at Survivor Series war Games. It's just a matter
<v Speaker 1>of time until Creative officially turns Dom babyface, because for
<v Speaker 1>the most part, he's being miscast as a heel.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I mean I've I've talked about this so much now,
<v Speaker 1>but getting in a little bit more of the fine
<v Speaker 1>detail I have heard. These are reports coming off of
<v Speaker 1>the typical websites like Wrestling Inc. And the you know others,
<v Speaker 1>you know, the more credible ones. The plan is actually
<v Speaker 1>not to have Dirty Dom face Ray. Now that could change.
<v Speaker 1>You can have that announcement, you know, unraw or whatever,
<v Speaker 1>and you could be like, oh, you don't you know,
<v Speaker 1>you were wrong? Well, this is what I'm seeing from
<v Speaker 1>right now, the sources that we all know and what
<v Speaker 1>they are, right, Pro Wrestling, Ned the Torch all great
<v Speaker 1>great websites, great people that run them. Do I really
<v Speaker 1>enjoy all the other shows but that's where I'm hearing
<v Speaker 1>it from, you know, the bigger sites, that this is
<v Speaker 1>not going to be the the plan for Subarbac series
<v Speaker 1>Dom Versus Ray, and honestly, I don't want it. As
<v Speaker 1>good as they are together, We've seen it before multiple
<v Speaker 1>times and it doesn't fit where Dom's going right now.
<v Speaker 1>It fit him perfectly and jump started him to a
<v Speaker 1>legendary there I say iconic. He'll run where he got
<v Speaker 1>the most heat I've seen off of anybody maybe ever,
<v Speaker 1>and it catapulted him now to where he is, which
<v Speaker 1>is on the precipice of a big babyface run. So
<v Speaker 1>I think if you have Dom versus Ray, you're pushing
<v Speaker 1>against the tide here. I don't see a need to
<v Speaker 1>do it. They can again. I could be totally wrong,
<v Speaker 1>but I'm against it completely. Just move along with Dom
<v Speaker 1>as a babyface and he could recapture the bell. But
<v Speaker 1>I think seeing his last opponent is not going to
<v Speaker 1>be Dom. I don't know who it's going to be
<v Speaker 1>on Raw anyway, on Raw his final televised appearance, I
<v Speaker 1>don't know who it's going to be. Again. If it's Dom,
<v Speaker 1>it's Dom. But you're gonna You're thinking bigger, you know,
<v Speaker 1>not quite Edge, not quite other names we've heard, but
<v Speaker 1>I think it could be somebody that he hasn't faced
<v Speaker 1>before that's a big, newer star. So that's my thinking.
<v Speaker 1>Also speaking of tonight, since I'm gonna be in SmackDown
<v Speaker 1>that SmackDown at Albany with no voice, which is a
<v Speaker 1>terrible time to lose my voice for a wrestling event.
<v Speaker 1>Is first of all, not be going to have him
<v Speaker 1>on the camera side, but just barely so You're not
<v Speaker 1>going to see me on camera unless it's just by
<v Speaker 1>a miracle, So I'm not gonna have a sign right
<v Speaker 1>where I normally do. Those seats were like four hundred
<v Speaker 1>bucks a pop just for the TV good side, not
<v Speaker 1>front row, so no. But more importantly, my guess is
<v Speaker 1>that the opponent for ell A Knight. As much as
<v Speaker 1>I would love Edge, probably not. I'm thinking Chris Jericho
<v Speaker 1>is the opponent for l A Knight. That would be
<v Speaker 1>my most realistic guess. Again, if it's Edge, I'm gonna
<v Speaker 1>lose it. I will find a way to have a
<v Speaker 1>voice if that happens, but I'm hoping it's Chris Jericho.
<v Speaker 1>If it is, then still a cool moment, So I
<v Speaker 1>mean they've built us up to the point where I
<v Speaker 1>mean they have to deliver big. It can't be an
<v Speaker 1>NXT startup, you know, it can't be a repeat. It's
<v Speaker 1>got to be somebody new that he hasn't faced before.
<v Speaker 1>It just concerns me that since Ellen Knight's a heat
<v Speaker 1>a babyface, you're gonna have a babyface versus babyface, and
<v Speaker 1>then the fan's gonna be forced to choose between Night
<v Speaker 1>and the babyface, and then they might start to, you know,
<v Speaker 1>go against Night a little bit on that one. But
<v Speaker 1>all right, number three, here where are we? Number three?
<v Speaker 2>Number three?
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Bizarre things I find strange. Julia drops the US
<v Speaker 1>title in Chelsea Green, the Kabuki Warriors are new tag
<v Speaker 1>team champions, and Nicki Bella turns heel. Since her main
<v Speaker 1>roster debut, Julia has not gotten any opportunity to speak
<v Speaker 1>on the mic, and there hasn't been a thought out backstory,
<v Speaker 1>no offense to the two new two time US champion
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Green. But to me, Julia's main roster appearance has
<v Speaker 1>not been good. Unlike her NXT run where she became
<v Speaker 1>in the NXT Women's Champion. At the beginning of this
<v Speaker 1>year at NXT's New Year's Evil. There needs to be
<v Speaker 1>some additional work on her character because Creative flat out
<v Speaker 1>dropped the ball on her main roster appearances. I really
<v Speaker 1>hope that Alexa and Charlotte somehow get an opportunity to
<v Speaker 1>retain the tag titles, and please, I don't want to
<v Speaker 1>see this tag team break up. They've worked really well
<v Speaker 1>together and Charlotte is getting more likable by the fans.
<v Speaker 1>And lastly, Nicki Bella at this point, I really don't
<v Speaker 1>care about this, but I just find its trained. She
<v Speaker 1>turned heel. Well, that's right, there's Wargames DJ who's most
<v Speaker 1>signing off. Okay, Well, for so Ali, I would agree
<v Speaker 1>with the Julia thing. I mean, most people, if the
<v Speaker 1>casual fan, would probably look at Julia and be like,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know anything about her, Like she's fundamentally sound
<v Speaker 1>in the ring, but I know nothing. Not a good
<v Speaker 1>formula for emotional connection with anybody. So I would totally
<v Speaker 1>agree with that. I mean, you can make that argument
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of women on the roster, a lot
<v Speaker 1>none more apparent than Jade. For me, or we don't
<v Speaker 1>know who the hell she is. We still to some
<v Speaker 1>degree don't know who Jade Cargill is. Two years later,
<v Speaker 1>she has yet to cut a very good promo, one
<v Speaker 1>that really grabs you and tells you who she is.
<v Speaker 1>We still haven't had one. Okay, last week she said,
<v Speaker 1>I'm that bitch. Okay, big deal, Like I mean that
<v Speaker 1>good line, forcefull, but doesn't tell me who you are
<v Speaker 1>other than okay, you're a bitch. Okay, got it, we
<v Speaker 1>know that, But like, what's your drive, what's your motivation?
<v Speaker 1>Give us some layers and right now, for Jade, it's
<v Speaker 1>all about just still her look mostly. But I agree
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte and Alexa. I don't want them break up either.
<v Speaker 1>Nikki Bella, you guys know how I feel about her.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, she's just to me a very just off
<v Speaker 1>putting human being off putting and that's being nice. Let
<v Speaker 1>me just if I may divulge since you brought up
<v Speaker 1>Nikki Bella. This is what she recently said on the
<v Speaker 1>Nicky and Bree Show. I think it's her podcast. She
<v Speaker 1>talks about the hate against her, how it's quote so gross,
<v Speaker 1>she says, quote, I'm gonna verbat him say this. It's
<v Speaker 1>really nice because I feel like more people who have
<v Speaker 1>credibility are really starting to speak up for me because
<v Speaker 1>I know for so long, like people are like, I
<v Speaker 1>don't not want the trolls to come at me online,
<v Speaker 1>so people just never really did. But I think people
<v Speaker 1>now are kind of like the hate is so gross,
<v Speaker 1>Like even some of the chants that I got last
<v Speaker 1>night on Raw referring to the one and Boss about
<v Speaker 1>Johnson left you or something like, it's the same. But
<v Speaker 1>it's nice for these people with credibility that are speaking
<v Speaker 1>up because I think at the end of the day,
<v Speaker 1>they all know how much I love this business, how
<v Speaker 1>much passion I have for wrestling. They know the work
<v Speaker 1>that I put in. It's not like I come on
<v Speaker 1>here and always say, oh, when I had two days
<v Speaker 1>free where I didn't have my son, I flew to
<v Speaker 1>Orlando just to get in the ring for five hours
<v Speaker 1>to fly straight back. You know, I don't talk about
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff all the time, but the people know
<v Speaker 1>that people that know and like truly love this business
<v Speaker 1>and I want to give it my all. And I
<v Speaker 1>really love what Biggie said, because yeah, I don't need
<v Speaker 1>to just sit around and always put people over. I
<v Speaker 1>know what I can do now, I know what my
<v Speaker 1>worth is. And you're going to start hearing it a
<v Speaker 1>lot more. Well, okay, first of all, excuse me, and
<v Speaker 1>I put this out on X Some people are just
<v Speaker 1>they had no rebuttle out of the no showed up. Look,
<v Speaker 1>I counted she said like eight times, and I'm sorry.
<v Speaker 1>There is some kind of direct correlation between the amount
<v Speaker 1>of times you say the word like and your actual IQ.
<v Speaker 1>Nikki Bella said it eight times in that two paragraph response,
<v Speaker 1>like and like you know like people like some people,
<v Speaker 1>you know, these people in your life where they just
<v Speaker 1>can't help themselves, but add the word like as some
<v Speaker 1>kind of compulsory reaction to speaking. They must add it
<v Speaker 1>every few words. And Nikki Bella, I mean, she's so
<v Speaker 1>off putting. And to say that she's, Oh, we're gonna
<v Speaker 1>start hearing how much she's worth. Yes, that's just what
<v Speaker 1>we need to hear, Nikki. We need to know how
<v Speaker 1>much of the word Please tell us, Please tell us,
<v Speaker 1>please tell us how much we need to respect you.
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing like a more effective way, there's no more
<v Speaker 1>effective way actually to get respect from people than telling
<v Speaker 1>people they should respect you. I mean, that is a
<v Speaker 1>sure fire away to make sure that people were respect you,
<v Speaker 1>rather than commanding respect big difference there, and I think
<v Speaker 1>the fans. Look, fans are going to say what they
<v Speaker 1>want to say. I'm not all for them being able
<v Speaker 1>to say vulgar, horrific things like you know, I'm you know,
<v Speaker 1>threatening violence or saying super disgusting stuff. I mean to me,
<v Speaker 1>there's a limit of what's like morally. Okay. Obviously there
<v Speaker 1>are legal parameters. You can't threaten people's lives or threaten
<v Speaker 1>violence or death, duh. But even from the moral perspective,
<v Speaker 1>if we're going down a level, I don't believe you
<v Speaker 1>should be able to or I don't think it's you know,
<v Speaker 1>good for your soul to be able to say those
<v Speaker 1>things and not feel anything. But if it's just typical
<v Speaker 1>criticism and fans channing stuff, that's true. Like Sina left you, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>she might have broken up with him, whatever, it's a
<v Speaker 1>public relationship. You guys went public. You also voluntarily and
<v Speaker 1>into this business, which means inherently you take the good
<v Speaker 1>with the bad. You know, the upside, you know the
<v Speaker 1>good that comes with it, the fame, the money, right,
<v Speaker 1>you'd get to do what you love. But when you
<v Speaker 1>voluntarily enter, voluntarily enter into this line of business, just
<v Speaker 1>like any professional athlete, just like anybody in the public eye,
<v Speaker 1>you open yourself up to criticism that comes with the territory.
<v Speaker 1>You may not like it, it may hurt your tummy.
<v Speaker 1>Some fans may go overboard with it, but it's part
<v Speaker 1>of it. And suddenly she's not everybody likes me. When
<v Speaker 1>people are chanting things and saying mean things that make
<v Speaker 1>my tummy hurt. She cannot be a more fragile, weak,
<v Speaker 1>unlikable personality. I mean, she is just horrific. I cannot
<v Speaker 1>stay I mean, this is what I'm talking about on
<v Speaker 1>a real personal level. I'm not talking about her wrestling
<v Speaker 1>character or wrestling character. To me, is she's gotten better
<v Speaker 1>on the mic? She's certainly. I objectively, I think she's
<v Speaker 1>improved in the ring. She's exceeded my expectations in the ring.
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't give you immunity from criticism. If you
<v Speaker 1>think it does, I mean, you're in the wrong line
<v Speaker 1>at work. I just everything about her is off putting,
<v Speaker 1>from her stripper moves, to her backwards hat, to her
<v Speaker 1>you know, her incessant need to respond to her critics.
<v Speaker 1>And not only that, but that as if we shouldn't
<v Speaker 1>even be saying these things we should only be admiring her.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you've seen this throughout the years too, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>not just Nicky. Nicki's not the first one to the
<v Speaker 1>game on this one about being angry with fans. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>even Triple H is clapping back of the internet. But guys,
<v Speaker 1>this is the life you chose. If you can't handle
<v Speaker 1>some mean words while you're you know, certainly cashing your
<v Speaker 1>checks at the bank, then get out, I mean, or
<v Speaker 1>just deal with it and cry yourself to sleep at night. Again,
<v Speaker 1>I'm not advocating for people to actually threw and anybody
<v Speaker 1>is not what I'm saying, but typical criticism. Things they like,
<v Speaker 1>don't like chance, big deal, deal with it, tough enough.
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe I'm having to actually say this. I
<v Speaker 1>mean again, this goes for everyone in the public eye
<v Speaker 1>that you voluntarily chose to be in. It comes with
<v Speaker 1>the territory. You don't like it, go to go do
<v Speaker 1>something else that doesn't put you in the public's you know,
<v Speaker 1>under the lens of the public. So Nicky can go
<v Speaker 1>cry herself to sleep, and I hope we all continue
<v Speaker 1>to just annoy her with our criticisms. I do because
<v Speaker 1>to me, she's in the wrong line of business here,
<v Speaker 1>and we but yeah, we're all supposed to just just
<v Speaker 1>just because she says so, we're all supposed to respect
<v Speaker 1>her and stop saying mean things. Yeah, okay, you understand
<v Speaker 1>what that's going to do is just uh, it's just
<v Speaker 1>going to simply make people do it more. And she
<v Speaker 1>should get it more. I'm not all about protecting these
<v Speaker 1>peopeople's feelings. Okay, anyway, I'm being a jerk, but I
<v Speaker 1>truly mean all of this I do. I'm not saying
<v Speaker 1>here trying to get clickbait or get a reaction from people.
<v Speaker 1>It's truly what I believe. All Right, bring on the comments. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>So that'll do it for the emails, I believe, Yes,
<v Speaker 1>that is it for the emails. So let me get
<v Speaker 1>to the voicemails. And I actually no, I'm sorry, hold on, Matt,
<v Speaker 1>Matt from Toronto, Hold on a second. I don't think
<v Speaker 1>we've had Matt from Toronto yet. And okay, Matt, here
<v Speaker 1>we go. This is the final email that we get
<v Speaker 1>to a couple voicemails, and we will close it out
<v Speaker 1>because I am hanging on by a thread. So Matt says,
<v Speaker 1>love the show, I'm really appreciative that you give us
<v Speaker 1>the chance to be a small part of the podcast
<v Speaker 1>during the mail bag, So thank you. I was really
<v Speaker 1>disappointed when Dom dropped the belt. So but I see
<v Speaker 1>what they did to give scene to the Grand Slam.
<v Speaker 1>But I think you're right seeing his final opponent won't
<v Speaker 1>be in the tournament. I feel like there will be
<v Speaker 1>a reason the winner of the tournament can't compete and
<v Speaker 1>Dirty Dam will come out and get his belt back
<v Speaker 1>if they can't book Edge, which I'm still hopeful for.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's still how I would book it. I've heard, oh,
<v Speaker 1>well he's had injured. You know, Edge had injury time,
<v Speaker 1>and AW tax on the injury amount of time you've
<v Speaker 1>been out from injury to the end of the contract.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's like, okay, look, if I were Edge
<v Speaker 1>and WWE, I would do everything in my power to
<v Speaker 1>make it look like I have no chance of coming
<v Speaker 1>here's why blah blah blah, under contract, I can't. That's
<v Speaker 1>what I would do because if you make it look
<v Speaker 1>like you're open and things are timed well, well, then
<v Speaker 1>it's not a surprise. So of course they're going to
<v Speaker 1>say and everyone's going to say No, he can't. Everyone
<v Speaker 1>close to him will say that, and they should because
<v Speaker 1>why would they say, yeah, Look, he's ready to come back,
<v Speaker 1>he's training, things have opened up. He doesn't have it,
<v Speaker 1>as you know, his schedules open in a month. No,
<v Speaker 1>of course, they're gonna make it look like he's not
<v Speaker 1>good to go and then all of a sudden, bam,
<v Speaker 1>he's there. Do I think it's still gonna be edge?
<v Speaker 1>I'd say fifty to fifty, But okay, I'm rather sick
<v Speaker 1>of seeing wrestlers that are over getting, that are over
<v Speaker 1>get nothing and little airtimes such as Ella Knight Dom
<v Speaker 1>losing the title and ones like Maxine Dupree are getting
<v Speaker 1>the belt matches and will most likely win and people
<v Speaker 1>will care about them for a week and then it
<v Speaker 1>will be crickets when she comes down the ramp. I
<v Speaker 1>think Dom needs to beat Sina and then Ray and
<v Speaker 1>show them both a little respect to finish his baby
<v Speaker 1>face turn. Thanks for letting me vent. I mean this
<v Speaker 1>seems to be kind of a theme here Dominic and
<v Speaker 1>dropping the belt. I mean, there are certainly those that
<v Speaker 1>believe Elle Night should be champion or should have been
<v Speaker 1>by now. I mean, you can make that argument I'm
<v Speaker 1>not saying you can't, but the timing of it and
<v Speaker 1>the bigger storylines, I mean, sorry to say there are
<v Speaker 1>big There were at the time, bigger storylines going on
<v Speaker 1>with Cody and Roman and the four year run, and
<v Speaker 1>you know, they just the timing wasn't there. But then
<v Speaker 1>they brought the world title in, and then they wanted
<v Speaker 1>to make the Seth the first world champion, and then
<v Speaker 1>La Night gets over, and then he's on SmackDown so
<v Speaker 1>he can't compete on raw and he just never has
<v Speaker 1>seemingly been able to align the stars to have him
<v Speaker 1>be the timing that the right time at the right place.
<v Speaker 1>And you know that said yeah, when you listen to
<v Speaker 1>his reaction, yet it feels like he should be champion.
<v Speaker 1>But you bring up something that's interesting because when Maxine wins,
<v Speaker 1>and I think she will think we all expect her
<v Speaker 1>to win the IC title, and this is a phenomenon
<v Speaker 1>that could happen to anybody. It has happened. Sometimes the
<v Speaker 1>chase is more fun than the Mountain dup than the summit,
<v Speaker 1>because once they win that belt, it's like, oh wow, cool,
<v Speaker 1>and then it's like, where do you go from here?
<v Speaker 1>They've already achieved it that the chase is over. So
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it it's more fun and fans are more behind
<v Speaker 1>them when they're on the chase, so that that certainly
<v Speaker 1>can happen. To maccine, the question is what's the follow up.
<v Speaker 1>You gotta have follow up. You gotta have intriguing programs.
<v Speaker 1>You gotta have them continue their momentum. It can't just
<v Speaker 1>be oh, I got the title, We're good now. It's
<v Speaker 1>like no, now you're starting a whole new chapter. The
<v Speaker 1>book doesn't end. It's really just getting going now. So okay,
<v Speaker 1>thank you got two two cood fans from Toronto. Okay
<v Speaker 1>and Matt all right, cool, all right, let's get to
<v Speaker 1>the voicemails and give my voice a break.
<v Speaker 4>Here.
<v Speaker 3>This is DJ Cooles melt back at it again on
<v Speaker 3>your mail back show record. You live on a Wednesday board,
<v Speaker 3>and you know what time it is. It's time to.
<v Speaker 5>See his name, man Heppeers. I believe in Joe Hendry.
<v Speaker 5>I believe in Joe Hendry.
<v Speaker 3>That's right, folks, Joe Hendry is his name. As I
<v Speaker 3>take it to my seven episode of the drudge Aboard
<v Speaker 3>and like always come it to you live from an
<v Speaker 3>undisclosed location, I'll take it to what took place last
<v Speaker 3>week on to EPID of TENA P Wrestling, and once
<v Speaker 3>again with the upteen time, Joe Hendry did not make
<v Speaker 3>an appearance on the episode of TNA, as this looks
<v Speaker 3>like that Joe Hendry is phasing out of TNA with
<v Speaker 3>all of these NXT appearances that he's been making for
<v Speaker 3>the past couple of weeks. And speaking of NXT, on
<v Speaker 3>that same day that TNA put out their episode, Joe
<v Speaker 3>Hendry put out a video on his socials talking about
<v Speaker 3>how he was be making appearances doing this weekend in Florida,
<v Speaker 3>back to back appearances, by the way, on both Friday,
<v Speaker 3>November seventh and Saturday November eight. On Friday November seven,
<v Speaker 3>Joe Henry made an appearance at Fort Pierce, Florida, and
<v Speaker 3>on Saturday, November eight, Joe Hendry made an appearance at Tampa, Florida.
<v Speaker 3>And let's get to what took place on Friday November seventh,
<v Speaker 3>as Joe Hendry was involved in a very interesting mixed
<v Speaker 3>tag team triple threat matter. It was Joe Hendry and
<v Speaker 3>Kendall Gray. Kendall Gray she is the Evolved Women's Champion,
<v Speaker 3>as Joe Hendry and Kendall Gray competed against other mixed
<v Speaker 3>tag teams in this triple thread match Maxine Dupree and
<v Speaker 3>Anthony Luke and Ariana Grace and Channing Lorenzo. Joe Hendry
<v Speaker 3>and Kendall Gray got the victory in this match. Interesting enough,
<v Speaker 3>on that same day was an episode of Friday Night
<v Speaker 3>SmackDown Live in South Carolina in Greenville. By the way,
<v Speaker 3>we got an announcement and here is this announcement which
<v Speaker 3>is focusing on the next two matches that will be
<v Speaker 3>happening for the following episode of Friday Night SmackDown for
<v Speaker 3>the last time is now tournament and those two matches
<v Speaker 3>that will be taking place on the following episode of
<v Speaker 3>Friday Night SmackDown is main evanje Usso versus the Miss
<v Speaker 3>in the first round. But the other match I'm going
<v Speaker 3>to mention may play a significant role in possibly Joe
<v Speaker 3>Hendry making an appearance because this match is La Knight
<v Speaker 3>versus a mystery opponent. I like the fact that we
<v Speaker 3>are having mystery opponents making appearances in this tournament because
<v Speaker 3>that leads to a lot of people speculated as who
<v Speaker 3>it could be. So I am going to say that
<v Speaker 3>it is Joe Hendry that possibly might make an appearance
<v Speaker 3>as the mystery opponent for l A. Knight in the
<v Speaker 3>first round as SmackDown kicks off their side of the
<v Speaker 3>bracket for the last time. Is now tournament Now we
<v Speaker 3>flip over toward took place on Saturday, November eighth, as
<v Speaker 3>Joe Hendry continues his NXT live event appearances. This time,
<v Speaker 3>like I said, he was in Tampa, Florida, as Joe
<v Speaker 3>Hendry was involved in a six man tag team match
<v Speaker 3>as he tagged team alongside the High Flyer in Javon
<v Speaker 3>Evans and Tavion Hight. They went up against three members
<v Speaker 3>of Dark State Walter James, Deal, Lennox and Saquon Sugars
<v Speaker 3>and in the end, Joe Hendry's team got the victory
<v Speaker 3>in this six man tag team mat as that was
<v Speaker 3>the conclusion of his back to back appearances or NXT
<v Speaker 3>over the weekend. But now we fast forward to a
<v Speaker 3>took place this past Monday Night Raw in Boston. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>we did see Johnson to become a Grand Slam Champion,
<v Speaker 3>but we did get two matches that have been announced
<v Speaker 3>for the next episode of Monday Night Row from Madison
<v Speaker 3>Square Garden November seventeen, and here are these very interesting
<v Speaker 3>two matches. The first one is Javon Evans versus a
<v Speaker 3>returning going through. And then we have another situation where
<v Speaker 3>Joe Hendry might be a mystery opponent, and that is
<v Speaker 3>Solo so CoA versus a mystery opponent. Who could that
<v Speaker 3>mystery opponent be? I believe that it could be Joe Hendry.
<v Speaker 3>So Joe Hendry might be the mystery opponent for La
<v Speaker 3>Night or SmackDown, and possibly he might be the mystery
<v Speaker 3>opponent for Solo so CoA for the next episode of
<v Speaker 3>Monday Night Row. Whatever the case may be. Always remember this, folks,
<v Speaker 3>if you continue to say his name, he might just
<v Speaker 3>randomly up here. And he appeared last not on. But
<v Speaker 3>before we get to Joe Hendry's appearance on this episode
<v Speaker 3>of NXT, I want to take you back a couple
<v Speaker 3>of hours before the show began, as Joe Henry puts
<v Speaker 3>out a hilarious video on both his Instagram and Twitter,
<v Speaker 3>and this parody song is called Ethan and Chelsea Got Pied.
<v Speaker 3>This is stepping from last week's episode of NXT when
<v Speaker 3>Ethan and Chelsea got pied by both Joe and THEA
<v Speaker 3>and the song goes something like this. Pie Pie Chelsea
<v Speaker 3>got pied says she's never been cream, but that is
<v Speaker 3>a lie. And Ethan Page is with her most of
<v Speaker 3>the time, but Maccardona says that it's fine. Maccardona says
<v Speaker 3>that it's fine. One more time, folks. Pie Pie Chelsea
<v Speaker 3>got pied says she's never been cream, but that is
<v Speaker 3>a lie. An Ethan Paige is with her most of
<v Speaker 3>their time, but Matt Cardona says that it's fine. Matt
<v Speaker 3>Cardona says that it's fine. One of the best Parry
<v Speaker 3>songs right now in recent memory from Joe Hendry, and
<v Speaker 3>he puts out this song. It's about two minutes. You
<v Speaker 3>can catch it on YouTube. It's both a video and
<v Speaker 3>a song. And we see Joe Henry in this video
<v Speaker 3>as he's shrumming his guitar recapping the events that took
<v Speaker 3>place in the main event when both Ethan Page and
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea Green got pied. He also mentions about Matt Cardona
<v Speaker 3>as apparently Joe Hendry had a mac Cardona face mask
<v Speaker 3>on his face as he was imitating Mat Cardonah who
<v Speaker 3>is Chelsea Green's husband. Because Matt Cardona loves to play
<v Speaker 3>with his toys, no pun intended. We see Joe Hendry
<v Speaker 3>imitating Matt Cardona as he's playing with action figures. One
<v Speaker 3>of the action figures look like thea Hale and the
<v Speaker 3>other action figure is a old Joe Henry action figure
<v Speaker 3>when Joe Henry had brown here because Joe Hendry was
<v Speaker 3>not always a blonde. And like I said, this song
<v Speaker 3>is so hilarious. Every time you get a chance to
<v Speaker 3>rewatch it, and rewatch it, and rewatch it. It's about
<v Speaker 3>two minutes. You can watch the full video on YouTube,
<v Speaker 3>and it seems like Matt Cardona, Chelsea Green's husband is
<v Speaker 3>playing along with this parody video and song because it
<v Speaker 3>looks like The actual T shirt, which says I Love
<v Speaker 3>Toys is now available on Pro Wrestling Teas dot Com.
<v Speaker 3>That's right, folks, Matt Cardona's I Love Toys T shirt
<v Speaker 3>is available, so get it while supplies last. Because this
<v Speaker 3>right now, Joe Hendry thea hal Matt Cardona, Chelsea Green
<v Speaker 3>Ethan page. This whole situation here is absolutely hilarious. And
<v Speaker 3>remember the name of the song is called Ethan and
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea got pied. Now let me take you to a
<v Speaker 3>quick backstage segment of THEA and Joe Hendry. Theahal is
<v Speaker 3>seen backstage looking for Joe Hendry and of course she
<v Speaker 3>says his name and he appears. All she had to
<v Speaker 3>do was turned left as Joe Hendry appeared to her
<v Speaker 3>left side. We then see Joe thanking THEA by saying
<v Speaker 3>the energy you brought when you pop out the cake
<v Speaker 3>and pie them boat in the face, that inspired me.
<v Speaker 3>Joe goes on to say, I want to let you
<v Speaker 3>know that I couldn't have asked for a better tag
<v Speaker 3>team partner going into NXT gold Rush. THEA says hell yeah,
<v Speaker 3>then declares that she and Joe will become new Triple
<v Speaker 3>A Mixed Tag Team Champions at NXT gold Rush. But tonight,
<v Speaker 3>THEA says she's gonna take it to Alba Phya, who
<v Speaker 3>of course is one half of the Secret Hervers from
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea Green's squad. As they have a one to one
<v Speaker 3>matchup of Theahal versus Alba Fire, Joe also says hell yeah.
<v Speaker 3>THEA says, I believe Joe Hendry, the fans believe in
<v Speaker 3>thea Haal, and I believe in Theahal. THEA concludes, let's
<v Speaker 3>go as Joe Hendry says hell yeah, and this leads
<v Speaker 3>right into the matchup, the one to one matchup of
<v Speaker 3>Alba Faire one half of the Secret Her Verse versus Theahal.
<v Speaker 3>And speaking of that matchup, let's get to this matchup
<v Speaker 3>of Theahal versus Alba Fire. This match lasted nine minutes
<v Speaker 3>and fifty seconds as we see Joe Hendry at ringside
<v Speaker 3>supporting Theahal and Ethan Page and Chelsea Green supporting Albu Fire.
<v Speaker 3>But as you fast forward to the tail end of
<v Speaker 3>the match, after when we saw Theahale deliver a Michiganovu
<v Speaker 3>driver to Alba Fire, she quickly goes for the cover,
<v Speaker 3>but Alba Fire kicks out at too. Tia can't believe it.
<v Speaker 3>She can't believe that Alba Fire kicked out a two.
<v Speaker 3>Then we see THEA going to the top turnbuckle, but
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea Green is seen at the ringside apron into attack
<v Speaker 3>THEA as she distracts her. Then THEA goes for a
<v Speaker 3>splash but missus album. Then she goes for a canmorlock
<v Speaker 3>on Albu Fire, but Ethan Page now appears at the
<v Speaker 3>ring side to distract the ref and Theahale. Joe Henry
<v Speaker 3>comes to attack Ethan, sending Ethan crashing into the ringside
<v Speaker 3>poll and the ring side step Joe does his famous
<v Speaker 3>spin and a smile, and then we see a very
<v Speaker 3>interesting sequence after when he does his famous spin and smile,
<v Speaker 3>he ducks out the way of an income in Chelsea
<v Speaker 3>Green as she accidentally smacks Ethan Paige in the face.
<v Speaker 3>Man do what a great transition right there. Viahale then
<v Speaker 3>delivers a suicide dive to Chelsea Ta quickly gets back
<v Speaker 3>into the ring. Albu Fire delivers a super kick to THEA.
<v Speaker 3>Albu Fire goes for the cover, but THEA kicks out
<v Speaker 3>at too. Alba Fire then sets up her finisher, the
<v Speaker 3>k l R bomb to THEA, but THEA counters out
<v Speaker 3>of it and quickly goes for a cover on album
<v Speaker 3>Fire and one two three dah Hal gets the victory
<v Speaker 3>over album Fire. As now, the momentum is continuing into
<v Speaker 3>NXD gold Rush. But will that be a possibility of
<v Speaker 3>Joe Hendry and Thahal becoming the new Triple A Mixed
<v Speaker 3>Tag Team Champions for gold Rush next week on November eighteenth.
<v Speaker 3>There's a slight possibility that this might happen. And speaking
<v Speaker 3>of NXT gold Rush. If you have been living under
<v Speaker 3>a rock, I'm just gonna let you know to remind
<v Speaker 3>you once again that I will be there next week
<v Speaker 3>Tuesday for NXT gold Rush Live at the Theatre at
<v Speaker 3>Madison Square Garden in New York City. This is a
<v Speaker 3>two week, two night event. Of course, Tuesday November eighteen
<v Speaker 3>it will be live, and then there will be Tuesday
<v Speaker 3>November twenty fifth. And like I mentioned last week on
<v Speaker 3>the Joe Hendry Report, since WWE always does their taping
<v Speaker 3>prior to Thanksgiving, I will be seeing two episodes of NXT.
<v Speaker 3>And I just want to quickly get to some predictions,
<v Speaker 3>just quicktions on three matches that are gonna be focused
<v Speaker 3>on for this coming Tuesday in New York City, and
<v Speaker 3>those three matches goes as followed. Since we have Week
<v Speaker 3>one Night one and Week two Night two, the two
<v Speaker 3>matches that are gonna be focusing on for Week one
<v Speaker 3>Night one is the Triple A Mixed Tag Team titles
<v Speaker 3>of Joe Hendry and Theahal versus Ethan Page and Chelsea Green.
<v Speaker 3>I predict that we're gonna have new Triple A Mixed
<v Speaker 3>Tag Team champions and Joe Hendry and Theahalo. We believe
<v Speaker 3>the second match that I'm gonna be focusing on for
<v Speaker 3>NST gold Rush will be happening on Week one, Night one,
<v Speaker 3>and that is for the NXT Tag Team titles of
<v Speaker 3>Javon Evans of NXT alongside his tag team partner mister
<v Speaker 3>Leon Slater of TNA, who is the current TNA X
<v Speaker 3>Division Champion. They will be going up against dark State
<v Speaker 3>both the Allnix and Osiris Griffin. I predict that Dark
<v Speaker 3>State will retain the NXT Tag Team championships. Now we
<v Speaker 3>flip over two Week two nine two, which will be
<v Speaker 3>a tape delay, and that third and final match that
<v Speaker 3>I'll be focusing on is for the TNA Knockouts Championship,
<v Speaker 3>and that is a triple threat of Kilanie Jordan, who
<v Speaker 3>is currently the NXT star that has the TNA Knockouts Championship.
<v Speaker 3>She'll be taking on Lee Ying Lee formerly known as
<v Speaker 3>Zi Lee, and of course the former TENNA Knockouts champion
<v Speaker 3>who is currently now in NXT, Missus Jordan Grace. I
<v Speaker 3>predict that Kilani Jordan will retain the TNA Knockouts Championship.
<v Speaker 3>And those are the three matches that I'm gonna be
<v Speaker 3>focusing on for NXT Golders That'll be happening on both
<v Speaker 3>November eighteenth and November twenty fifth, live from the Theater
<v Speaker 3>at Madison Square Garden. And like I said a couple
<v Speaker 3>of times, I will be seeing both of these episodes
<v Speaker 3>back to back, one ticket for two shows. Absolutely amazing.
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to see Joe and THEA Hale become
<v Speaker 3>the new Triple A Mixed Tag Team champ. And before
<v Speaker 3>I go, let me sing one more time the chorus
<v Speaker 3>of Ethan and Chelsea Got Pied, a Joe Henry parody song.
<v Speaker 2>Pied Pied.
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea Got Pied says she's never been cream but that
<v Speaker 3>is a lie and Ethan Paige is with her most
<v Speaker 3>of the time, but mac Cardona says that it's fine.
<v Speaker 3>Mac Cardona says that it's fine. And always remember this, folks,
<v Speaker 3>if you continue to say their name in Joe Hendry
<v Speaker 3>Anthea Hale, they might just randomly up here. But hold on,
<v Speaker 3>wait a minute, wait a minute, we got some breaking news.
<v Speaker 3>As of late last night on November thirteenth, Thursday, November thirteenth,
<v Speaker 3>Joe Hendry has officially signed with w WA. Oh my goodness,
<v Speaker 3>this is amazing.
<v Speaker 6>I have been waiting for this moment for the past
<v Speaker 6>couple of ye and now it is official. Joe Hendry
<v Speaker 6>is in WWE much of my thoughts and reactions on
<v Speaker 6>the next episode of The Joe Hendri Report. Plus we
<v Speaker 6>have some interesting developments that took place in TNA as
<v Speaker 6>we have apparently a new TNA World Champion, so Joe
<v Speaker 6>Hendry signing to ww and we got some interesting developments
<v Speaker 6>in TNA with the new world Champion, and I'll mention
<v Speaker 6>that on the next episode.
<v Speaker 3>Of The Joe Hendri Report. Go back to the outr.
<v Speaker 3>Always remember to believe, say his name, Always remember the
<v Speaker 3>words that Joe Hendry says anytime, any place, at any show,
<v Speaker 3>and most simporly, most simporly, always remember to do this
<v Speaker 3>strong site science. Welcome to here sus. Once again, this
<v Speaker 3>is your guy, DJ COULZMO have a blessed week. Be
<v Speaker 3>kid to one of the stays in my friends, Believe
<v Speaker 3>and peace.
<v Speaker 1>DJ, thank you buddy, Thank you buddy for that the
<v Speaker 1>recap and the you know, the introspection into what's going
<v Speaker 1>on in Joe Henry and the other promotions. And hey,
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you brought up at the beginning about Joe Hendry,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he has certainly been at the forefront of
<v Speaker 1>people's predictions for tonight of La Knight's mystery opponent, that is,
<v Speaker 1>I think more likely than even Chris Jericho. So here
<v Speaker 1>you go. If I'm going to rank the top possibilities
<v Speaker 1>Joe Henry, Chris Jericho, then edge in that particular order
<v Speaker 1>of likelihood, Joe Hendry I think is a pretty good bet.
<v Speaker 1>But I will be as I'll only be slightly disappointed
<v Speaker 1>because selfishly I want Chris Jericho because I mean, he's
<v Speaker 1>just objectively a bigger star. Nothing against Joe Henry. I
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen him live yet, and that would be cool.
<v Speaker 1>But I haven't seen Chris jerycho live in about fifteen years.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I mean, very good, very good point. And
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate all of your reviews and the effort you
<v Speaker 1>put in every week.
<v Speaker 6>DJ.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, buddy. Now let's get to somebody we haven't
<v Speaker 1>heard in a long time. I think he's from Australia.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not mistaken. Let's hear from him.
<v Speaker 4>Oh hey man, it's seven here from Australia. This is
<v Speaker 4>probably the biggest return to your show. I would say
<v Speaker 4>in comparison when Edge returned to WW at the Royal Rumble.
<v Speaker 4>This is huge, isn't it. You won't forget the day
<v Speaker 4>I came back twelfth of November twenty five. There you go,
<v Speaker 4>No fair, mate, that's been a hell of a year.
<v Speaker 4>So got a new job now in happy, less stress,
<v Speaker 4>more time with the family, more time with the kids.
<v Speaker 4>Just happier again, so I can start enjoying things a
<v Speaker 4>bit more and healthy, healthy food, shoes, and I hope
<v Speaker 4>everyone out there is healthy and happy too. I saw
<v Speaker 4>Raw last night.
<v Speaker 3>It was.
<v Speaker 4>Heard your review enjoyed Raw. I was surprised Dominice Gloss.
<v Speaker 4>But at the same time, when I saw this unfolding,
<v Speaker 4>I was like, John's going to win this. I think
<v Speaker 4>my question to you is not about you. You've explained
<v Speaker 4>your views on it, and I understand what she's saying too,
<v Speaker 4>So I'm not here to I've got my opinion. I'm
<v Speaker 4>glad he won it. But yeah, right at the end,
<v Speaker 4>seems like ticking the box. But I don't want you
<v Speaker 4>to comment about that. To be really done that What
<v Speaker 4>do you think is going to? What is where does
<v Speaker 4>dom go from here? This is my question, Like I
<v Speaker 4>think he's obviously going to have a bit of a
<v Speaker 4>few that his dad again, which I don't really care
<v Speaker 4>much for. Do you think this will just be some
<v Speaker 4>filler in until Royal Rumble, because I'm going to put
<v Speaker 4>it out there and say that Dom, should he enter
<v Speaker 4>the Royal Rumble, he's going to win. Well, I know
<v Speaker 4>he's a babyface, but he can also play a really
<v Speaker 4>good heel, so he could fit. He could fit winning
<v Speaker 4>the Royal Rumble as well as money in the bank.
<v Speaker 4>I suppose I reckon he would smash it out the
<v Speaker 4>park with either one he did, But I'm going to
<v Speaker 4>go with him being a well I don't know that
<v Speaker 4>I'm speaking to. I'm already starting to change my mind.
<v Speaker 4>He would be obnoxiously funny with the briefcase, but that's
<v Speaker 4>a long way away still, So would he go into
<v Speaker 4>the Royal Rumble and win? I don't know if he's
<v Speaker 4>good at chasing the championship, you know. So yeah, I've
<v Speaker 4>basically changed my mind. I thought maybe he would be,
<v Speaker 4>in my opinion, a good shot at winning the Royal Rumble,
<v Speaker 4>but I don't know. I think he's more of a
<v Speaker 4>money in the bank briefcase guy. But I'd love to
<v Speaker 4>know your your opinions and thoughts on where do you
<v Speaker 4>think he goes from here? And maybe an early royal
<v Speaker 4>rumble pick? How about that? Right mate? Take air Seep by.
<v Speaker 1>Bevin Listen, I will this is a day. It's a
<v Speaker 1>it's a day like when Sampunk returned to pro wrestling.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's on that level. It's it's it holds
<v Speaker 1>that level of weight, it's got that magnitude. I don't
<v Speaker 1>think anybody here listening is going to forget the day.
<v Speaker 1>They're going to remember where they were that they heard
<v Speaker 1>you return. I know you recorded it another twelve, but
<v Speaker 1>as I put this out, obviously it's the fourteenth. So wow,
<v Speaker 1>good to hear from you, my friend. Glad things are
<v Speaker 1>going well. They's got a new job, more time with
<v Speaker 1>the family, all really important stuff. Good to hear. And yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I agree, hell of a year and we're almost ready
<v Speaker 1>to close it out already unbelievably. So yeah, I won't
<v Speaker 1>talk about my checking of the box reasoning for John
<v Speaker 1>Cena winning the belt. I've given that. But if you've
<v Speaker 1>heard the show up till this point, Beban, I mean
<v Speaker 1>you know that I've kind of give him my thoughts
<v Speaker 1>on dom but where he goes. I didn't speak specifically
<v Speaker 1>to rumble or money the bank as you're talking about it.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think certainly money in the bank fits
<v Speaker 1>his personality much better. I don't need him to win
<v Speaker 1>the icy belt back right away. I don't need seeing
<v Speaker 1>her to drop it back to him at Madison Square Garden.
<v Speaker 1>I don't need him to drop it back to Dom
<v Speaker 1>at all that Actually, and actually, as a babyface, I
<v Speaker 1>argued that, hey, sometimes the chase is more fun than
<v Speaker 1>the destination, and maybe Dom isn't a champion until he
<v Speaker 1>becomes world champion, and having him win the rumble is
<v Speaker 1>hilarious but doable. And he has now this lovable loser
<v Speaker 1>look he's got. He's so he's such a smarmy looking
<v Speaker 1>dude that you love him now. I can't explain it,
<v Speaker 1>because all the hatred for him, all the dislike of
<v Speaker 1>him being this little smarmy tea bag that you want
<v Speaker 1>somebody to knock his teeth out, are gone. I know
<v Speaker 1>that he faced Seena the last last week, and he
<v Speaker 1>went and faced the faces with his dad the week before,
<v Speaker 1>and he's gonna get booed if they keep doing that.
<v Speaker 1>But you're right, I think money in the bank is
<v Speaker 1>a perfect thing for him to win, and he could
<v Speaker 1>still win as a baby face and have people not
<v Speaker 1>wait they could They won't be able to wait to
<v Speaker 1>see him cash in to see how he does it
<v Speaker 1>because they want him to be sneaking, slimy in the
<v Speaker 1>way that he wins, because that's what's strangely endearing about him.
<v Speaker 1>He's got that Eddie Guerrero vibe, perfect time with his
<v Speaker 1>twenty year career anniversary of his death, and he just
<v Speaker 1>has that vibe and it's hard to do, but he's
<v Speaker 1>got it. And I think he could be a slimy
<v Speaker 1>heel but get cheered for it. And that's what people
<v Speaker 1>started to gravitate to and started to do and before
<v Speaker 1>WW cut them off of the pass, not once but
<v Speaker 1>twice now where they said no, no, we're not ready yet.
<v Speaker 1>And I think now that he's dropped the belt, he
<v Speaker 1>can go into chase mode for a while. Beans will
<v Speaker 1>start to get behind him again. He could be a
<v Speaker 1>final four in the rumble. Hell, if he wins it, fine,
<v Speaker 1>but I think he could even like you said, money
<v Speaker 1>in the bank fits him much better because that's how
<v Speaker 1>he could win a championship rather than main events in WrestleMania.
<v Speaker 1>I just can't see WWE saying yeah, Dominicant Mysterior the
<v Speaker 1>main event of WrestleMania, right. I have my suspicions about that,
<v Speaker 1>but we'll see. I mean, it's going to be up
<v Speaker 1>to the crowd too. How the crowd continues to react
<v Speaker 1>to him. So I will thank you, Bevin, thank you.
<v Speaker 1>Everybody has my voices at the end here. I will
<v Speaker 1>keep you updated tonight on SmackDown. I'll be there live,
