brand new patrons who have joined us over the last few days and Adam p.
Karen or Kyen Kyen M. Thank you so much again, guys.

month that said how can we improve right? And you guys, everything from
bringing back nostalgic shows, talking about past wrestling events to more video, more
video and streaming seem to be at the forefront of a lot of you guys
needs and wants. So with my time that it can allow, I will
try to do that. I'm already stretched for time as it is for just

And I think we had a great conversation, so enjoy this one, guys,
and tomorrow I'll be back with the mail bag, so i'll talk to
you then. Take care. Welcome everybody to the Monday Night Raw Review.
It is Tuesday, February twenty seventh, twenty twenty four. We are here
to talk about Monday Night Raw. And when I say we, I mean
myself and Christy. You guys, remember Chrissy from the last month or month
and a half, maybe almost two months in now, she's been kind of
popping in and out of the co host chair and helping me do a week
in review and some other things. So it's been it's been really a good
time with her, and we're bringing her back here tonight. And Chrissy,
how you doing, I'm doing do it. I'm excited if this has been
you know, this week with Ellic Chamber and then I thought raw it was
a good episode. So I'm excited to be here. Thank you for having
me, absolutely, And I know that we haven't talked at all about the
Chamber, but I do have to ask just your overall thoughts about the outcomes
of what we saw Saturday night, very similar to yours, where I mean
every ending was quite predictable. We knew he was going to win with almost
every single match, and I thought it was good. My sweet son did,
in fact wake up. I tried to wake up if it was four
am our time. He woke up at five am an times to watch it.
So I got to watch some of it live and I was trying to
avoid social media, and I accidentally opened up Instagram. Of course. The
first thing was who won the Women's Chamber, and I was same thing happened
to me, and because I know that there are so many people that did
stay up or get up early, and I was not one of them.
And I'm like, all right, if I look at my phone at all,
I mean like I'm gonna get caught. And I took the chance and
I saw it. I'm like, ah, like, you know, you
just can't help it unless you just told go dark. It's difficult to avoid.
But yeah, I mean, I don't need to provide any thoughts.
I mean, you're kind of in lockstep, it seems like. And now
we have Monday at Raw as we are on the straight and narrow path to
WrestleMania. Now there is no other stops. We are now full blown to
WrestleMania forty. From here on out, we have what thirty nine days or
so until WrestleMania forty. So I'll start with the women's side of things,
where you know, we saw Becky Lynch this on Monday net Raw. We
saw Ria Ripley, we saw him go face to face here, and I
just, what are your thoughts so far about this build to mommy versus the
man? I don't know why I'm not excited about it, and I love
Ria, and honestly, I felt more excited about her and Naya an elimination
chamber than I do her and Becky for Mania, which is wild because obviously
WrestleMania is, you know, the biggest show of it all. But I'm
I don't know why I'm not excited about it. I'm hoping there's more of
a built. It may be because right now I'm feeling kind of it with
Becky. I'm just not that excited, and that makes me really sad because
I love Rio. She puts on a hell of a show. I know
she's gonna kill it. But even with the chainber like, I felt like
Becky, I almost forgot Becky was there, and if everyone felt like they
were taking over Becky, like at one point, I think Tiffany was just
like holding her for minutes on in and I'm like, Becky looks so weak
for some reason, And which is while for me to say, because Becky's
a phenomenal athlete, but compared to the other talent that's out there right now,
I'm just not as invested in to this match as I want to be.
It really is nuts because when we looked at this potential matchup, and
really for months, Ria was facing you know, she was facing opponents like
Natalia or you know, someone of that caliber that you look at and you're
like, you know, respect them, but there's no chance they could win.
And you're like, man, why are they going to get to Becky
Lynch at least a big name? And they finally do and we're like,
eh, I mean, it's weird. And I'm trying to break this down
with Anthony last night, and I think it's just because Becky Lynch's character it's
kind of frozen in time. It feels like she's relying much a lot on
the character from WrestleMania thirty five that just doesn't have the connection that it did
with the crowd at the time, where it was just all Becky all go
hung beat re or beat ron A Rousey and Charlotte Flair and you know,
Becky Lynch needs to win the belt, and she had ended up winning and
it was just a different ride. And you fast forward five years, she
went from Babyface to Heal and then that didn't really work, and now she's
back to kind of the same character. I think her it's just that Becky
Lynch is right now for some reason, just not an interesting character. There's
not a lot to be invested in with her. At the same time,
I respect the hell out of her. I know her resume on paper,
this should have me more excited than it does. However, there are what
we've got like five weeks or so until WrestleMania, so there is time to
make the fans change their MINDS helped this along. But if WrestleMania were tomorrow,
I mean I would look at this and go eh, I mean,
okay, I'll watch right. And I hate that for Rhea because I mean,
like you guys, they mentioned she is top as a company right now,
and I'm wondering if, like you know, when Nya came out and
attacked Becky, is that maybe their way of us trying to get behind Becky
Moore by seeing her with the heel like Nya for a few weeks leading up
to Mania. I'm not sure. And to your point about Nya Jacks,
who I've never I never was a big fan of, she's starting to change
my mind of I don't know what has clicked with her or what switched.
Triple H has slipped or Nya herself has slipped, but it's like Nya Jacks
has become more of an interesting character than Becky Lynch, and it's like,
like, how you know, I wonder if what Nya's confidence. Nya is
like she seems so much more sure of herself now than she ever has before.
And even though and even with her match with Rea, like she was
doing some moves that were different. There she's limited with what she can do,
but she's coming across just more confident. I'm drawn to her more than
I am Becky, and that to me is absolutely wild to say. Like,
no, obviously I like Maya. She she does the work, but
when you compare her to Becky, it's like night and day. But yet
I would be more excited to see another Naya Rea match than a Naya or
Aria Becky match. Absolutely. I mean again, maybe we'll all be singing
a different tune and eating our words after they have a really good match,
but I mean just to build. If it stays this way, it's going
to be underwhelming. I mean, I would have loved to have seen much
more of Ria Ripley versus Bianca Belle Air if that was a possible thing.
But it seems, you know, that is something I have been waiting for
for a long time, and they teased it last year, we didn't get
it yet. I mean, I don't know if Jade Cargill is the reason
or whatever, but they're saving Bianca for something or someone else. So I
was a bit disappointed that it wasn't Beyonca to win the Chamber. But yeah,
I mean, Becky Lynch is trying. You know, it's not for
a lack of trying. She's trying different outfits and different phrases and calling people
cum quats and calling you know, she's she's trying little things and I understand
that. But when you listen to the crowd, the connections with Rhea,
the connection is not necessarily with Becky. It's not that she's getting booed,
but there's just more of that fresh energy for Ria Ripley, like we're ready
to push you to that next level like we did with Becky. And it's
just like you said, I do feel for Rhea, but you know that
these two are going to have a really good match. It's never the match
quality that's the question. So yeah, all right, yeah, No,
I mean, did you have anything else on the segment here with Becky and
Ria Ripley and Ya attacking her? Yeah? I love that. Nya came
out to attack her. I'm wondering where they're going to go with that.
I love Nya's hair switch, you know, coming from the female's point of
view. Here. The last time we saw with her natural curly hair was
I believe in Saudi. So I'm wondering. Part of me is like,
Okay, if you're going to do this switch up, maybe have this hair,
this wild natural hair, be like your wild, going loose, going
crazy. Like if we see Nia with the hair, everybody by her run.
Yeah. No, that's that's a good point. I didn't even think
of that. I mean because usually Naya is a fairly composed character where you
know, when she gets a hold of you, you're in trouble. But
she kind of let lucier and just took out Becky Lynch pretty hard and was
about to beat Live Morgan up until Becky Lynch got involved later in the night.
But yeah, I like that idea where and maybe she's just it wasn't
on purpose, It was just kind of happens. Say it's of, hey,
I want to change things up tonight. But if it was on purpose
of you know, when I get crazy, my hair also follows suit.
Yeah I like that. Yeah, I was a wondering. I'm like,
I could see her doing this, this would be a good idea. If
not, it's clever, I agree, all right, Well, then we
get to an actual match here and we get Sammy's Ain and Shinskin Nakamura.
This match was almost fifteen minutes long. Sammy's Ain ends up beating Shinsky Nakamura
and finally getting a victory on the road to WrestleMania where Sammy has been in
a bit of a rut here for quite some time. I mean it's been
several months now that Sammy's Ain's kind of felt like the lovable loser trying to
find his way again, and this could set him on the right path.
A fun match, I think it. You know, these two were worked
very well together, a lot of history between them, and Sammy Zan ends
up winning with the traditional haluviacack. What did you think? I thought it
was a good match. I honestly thought that Sammy was going to lose because
I thought, if he loses one more match, this may send him on
a spiral towards a heel turn of like what's next for me? Now?
I thought maybe they would go that direction with Sammy. But since he won.
Now I'm curious to see where they plan on putting him in the road
to WrestleMania. I know he had mentioned something, you know, with the
Intercondental Championship, but and then you know, when Gunther came out, I
assumed it would be Samy who interrupted him, and then it was the the
just went blank on their name. J Yeah, the judgment day. So
I don't now I'm cure. I'm like, what's next with Sammy? Is
it going to be a you know, fatal four way style triple threat?
What exactly is his path? I guess it's right that you won this match,
but now what Yeah, that's a good question, but it's like,
Okay, you got yourself righted a little bit, you got some of your
confidence back, But like, what is the ultimate goal for Sammy? If
it doesn't appear to be the Intercontinental Championship. They wouldn't usually tell you ahead
of time that it's going to be Sammy if it's really not going to be
Sammy. So I don't know what the deal is with him. I don't
know what his path is going to be. I mean, there's time is
running thin a little bit. March is a few days away, and then
you know, you got WrestleMania. So I don't know, but it is
a fun story to make it feel like Sammy's desperate for wins. It feels
like Sammy is just trying to scratch to get any kind of victory. And
I don't know where this is going, but it's got me intrigued, it
does, And it's so funny to see kind of the path that Sammy has
led to this point where when you look at last year where he wasn't made,
they compare it to now, I can see why he feels a little
bit lost, like what did I do? Yeah, no, I mean
think about where he was just a year ago, nearly beating Roman Reigns in
the Chamber or at elimination Chamber in Montreal, and then to now not,
you know, just trying to scratch to get a victory. It's amazing how
things can change it a year. But all right, then we get Chelsea
Green and she's standing in the ring and said that after issuing a formal complaint
with management, she was competing in protest and said that she would have won
the Last Chance Battle Royal and won the Chamber had Adam Pierce not added Quel
Rodriguez. She said she's the star and people wanted her, and she mocked
Rodriguez flying all the way to Australia and losing, which was great. She
worked at a jab at the San Jose Sharks at the of the NHL,
and Green said she would prove that Rodriguez is a big loser and then we
get the match. So before the match, when you think about the probo,
I love Chelsea mm hmm, Like week after week she gets more,
she gets better and better and more annoying, more like, God, shut
up, but stay on my TV because you're peer entertainment. I love Chelsea
And it's so funny because obviously Recroward, you guys, is clearly a probably
a better performer, and she's more of a powerhouse. But you don't really
know much about Recoil. I feel like they haven't put any time into her
character development at all compared to a little miss Chelsea. And oh God,
I love Chelsea Green. I want her to win money in the bank because
how obnoxious will she be if she's given that chance? Like I can see
that that briefcase being like blinged out with a tool skirt somehow on it.
I thought she did a phenomenal job in the promo. Of course the match
lasted. You know. My sweet son was like that was ten seconds and
I'm like, yeah, it was quick. So that brought me back to
the diva days. I had some flash back there with how quick the match
was. But I love Chelsea. I mean, I'm with you, and
it's amazing Chelsea Green is getting over even being squashed in every match that she's
in or losing every match, she somehow continues to almost build momentum by losing.
It's it's almost impossible to do, but she has found a way with
being so all in on the character and so believable and very just damn good
in her execution that it's it's somehow okay that she continues to lose. And
Raquel Rodriguez, I mean, I like Raquel from an inn ring standpoint,
but her character is boring. I mean it just is like she doesn't have
a ton of like depth to who and what she is. We don't know
a lot about her. We know no right personality. Yeah, the story
what's like, she's She's a pretty face with muscles is pretty much all she
is. I'm like, you've got to give us more. You know,
I follow her on her personal pages, so I see the struggles that she's
going through their help, and I think she's still struggling because she you can
tell she's not wearing makeup, so I'm sure she's still having issues with her
skin. So parme me is like, well, bring some of that in
if she's willing to, you know, have that personal type story, so
that way we can kind of get to know her a bit better, learn
about her struggles and be able to really root her on. If you're going
to keep her as a baby face, I think that would that would humanize
her to the fans. I mean some of us don't. Some fans don't
watch look at social media. They aren't aware of the skin disease. I
can guarantee some of them aren't. Some of them don't know her struggles.
And I think that if they bring some of those videos and pictures on to
RAW and just have it like a even a minute or two video package on
Raquel Rodriguez talking about it and why she's been gone, and showing her crying
and like being vulnerable, I think that would really start to get the fans
behind her and really make make them understand who and what she is and what
she's been going through that it's not a typical Oh she tore her ligament surgery
rehab. Now this is a this is a different animal, and I think
that would help. But right now, if you didn't watch any of that
stuff on Twitter or know anything about it, or if you just don't care,
which there are fans out there, but this is this is just Raquel
Rodriguez, the big jacked woman that's powerful, young, but you don't know
anything else other than that. And Chelsea Green has been excellent at what she
does and even in a loss, she seems to win. But Rodriguez beat
here in the look at the time here Actually it was a minute in fifteen
seid seconds, but it did feel like ten and she won with the dahattabaum.
And Chelsea Green continues her losing ways. But I don't know, it
is an interesting dynamic of where where does Chelsea Green go? I mean,
she's so over with the crowd, Like I don't know what her end game
is if she can't continue to lose forever. But so like you said,
money in the bank, I would think is perfect. Do you think at
this point, with how many women we have in the company who's just killing
it that the women could use another title, like another belt that's not obviously
the tag Champions of God. They need to sage those and do something with
those, but some type of move card belt would be good for the women
since we're pretty stacked. I feel like at this point I would prefer Okay,
So if this was my division, if this was up to me and
Triple H called me and said, all right, Matt, here's what we're
going to do. It's up to you, I would Here's what I do.
I would for the moment, I would take those tag titles and get
an exorcism done on them. Sage probably wouldn't be enough. I'd get a
priest and have them a exercise. After that, I would. I would
have them go away, put them in some kind of you know, tabernacle
for for like months, and then sure, if you want to introduce a
new title, but I don't think doing it coexisting with the Women's the Women's
World Championship, the WWE Women's Championship, the tag titles and then having another
title involved. The only reason I wouldn't do that is they're not all They're
they're doing a not great job managing the tag titles. They've never done a
good job with that, so that's just kind of the par for the course.
But also the more titles you would you put out there for the men
or women, the less that all of the meet and there's all there's very
few women's programs going on that aren't about the titles, and I think personal
programs, when you would introduce titles, you can have that, but I
think sometimes personal programs are more fun and even more interesting than just about a
championship. So there are pros and cons. Until they can show me that
they can really invest consistently in the women's tag titles and there's a more deep
roster and the women get even more time on the show, I wouldn't do
it. Yeah, that's a good point because probably the same exact thing may
happen to the way that the tag team champions have gone that it may happen
the same thing if they were to bring in another title. That's a good
point. I pictured when you were talking about the exor sysm of these belts.
I pictured them like being in a box. If anyone watches scary movie
similar to the rag doll from the contract, there you go. Actually,
that was one of the visions in my mind. Yeah, that's kind of
exactly the way that I feel like if they put if they put the Belts
in a box, then they doused it with holy water, the belts would
scream. I mean, like, I feel like there's something in them.
There is this demonic infestation inside of those belts. Somebody has done something to
them, and it's really just it's really mind bogglingly just I don't know what
it's. It's really I don't know if it's embarrassing, or if it's frustrating,
or if it's a combination of all emotions of how they've not been able
to manage the Women's Tag Team Championships. They just they can't. They do
it for like a week, two weeks, maybe month, and then they
just disappear. It's really I think they're at the meetings and they're like,
oh, crap, what about the tag team for the women? Yeah,
Well, the problem was they created the Belts before there was an actual division.
That's the problem. They pretended that there was this uproar for Women's Tag
Team Championships, but there wasn't. The WWE actually manufactured that with having plants
in the crowd holding signs, so that wasn't real. So, I mean
people talked about it, but it wasn't this massive. Oh there's got to
be women's tag belts. It was WWE's own doing, so I'm all for
it. But you created the belts before there was a division. It's backwards,
so I mean, they don't do a good job of the men's tag
Team Championships most of the time. So like, yeah, all right,
well let's move on we have then let's see Cody Roades the interviewed by Kathy
Kelly backstage, and he recalled challenging the Rock to face him any time,
any place, and he also spoke about facing Grayson Waller, and he recalled
bringing Jay usson a Raw the first time he was on the Waller uh Waller
effect, and then he said he's giving Waller his first Raw main event,
so that I mean, I don't know if there wasn't much context to this.
It wasn't like we got any answers. But Cody Rhads being interviewed backstage
doesn't happen a lot. Usually he's out front, So I don't know if
you have any comments on I guess I didn't hear your thoughts on the Rock
versus Cody Roads. It's gonna happen, And part of me, as a
Rock fan and not a Cody fan, I'm like, do I really want
this to be the rocks first big match back with Cody Rhoades, Like,
I don't know why I'm cringing on the ENTI my mind is like, you
don't deserve that, Cody, I know, right, but when, like
when are that playing? I know the Rock has he posted he's coming to
two more smackdowns, and I get so tickled by that. I'm like,
the Rock is worth three more than Roman at this point, like the crawd
So is it gonna happen on a SmackDown? And then part of me is
like, is this really going to happen on a SmackDown and not a pl
not. I don't know, I feel weird about it. I'm very torn
on this. Now. It's actually three the next three smackdowns, He's gonna
be on three in a row. So that's that may be the most we
see the Rock in a short period of time, I mean since he was
actually full time, I mean back in the day. So this is going
to be a treat Now, you're right, I don't know when they do
it. I don't think the Rocks first match back is just on a free
live SmackDown. They could do it, but the problem with putting it at
WrestleMania. Say it's on night one and Roman in Cody is night two.
The problem with that is then you're clogging up the main event for two nights
for the same program, and I don't know if that's really fair to the
world title or especially the women's division, Like that's the problem is. And
then you're having Cody also do double duty. So there's a lot of issues
with it. But I could see them just saying screw it, it's Cody
and Rock Night one is the main event. Who knows be excited for that.
We are. I did bite the bullet and loosen the purse strings,
and we are going to Mania. I'll have to fast forward of the podcast
because it'll be a surprise to my son, so I and obviously I bought
the tickets in my mindset thinking it was going to be Rock Roman, So,
needless to say, a few days later when that did not happen,
I was very disappointed. Either way, I will be able to see the
Rock and be it Mania. That'll be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
But I don't know where this is going to happen. I feel about it
because I'm just I'm like, let's just give Cody even more attention that he
does not need. Just and I'm trying to be positive. And it's funny.
My three year old, he's not really into it. If it's on,
he'll watch it, but he recognizes Cody. He'll like, that's Cody.
And I'm like, where where did I go wrong? Where where I
failed as a mother? Yeah? No, I'm I'm just I'm kind of
in the same boat with my son. He's five, almost six, and
I'm starting to introduce him to wrestling. He actually told me once to go
to a show, and I'm like, I don't know if he'll make it
with the you know, if he'll fall asleep at eight o'clock. So I
don't know if he'll make it through the show. But also like, I
don't want to introduce him to you Cody Roads, and then all of a
sudden he becomes a Cody fan, Like then then what do I do?
Put him up for adoption? I mean, the options are limited. You
know, I don't know what to do move out, so you know,
I don't want to have to do these things, so it's it's a risk.
Yeah, need the video because he does the whole whoo part and I'm
like, oh god, I have failed you. Oh no, oh no,
no no. Well, it's gonna be interesting then if you have the
rock face Cody Roads, if he if he kind of is starting to become
a Cody fan but then loves loves the rock, that's gonna be interesting.
It's very interesting. Like you said, adoption papers, I'll have to have
those prepared before we go to media. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm
gonna have to. Uh, I'm gonna have to look into that. I
think New York State's pretty restrictive, but I'll have to. I'll find a
way, all right. So let's let's continue here. We've got Imperium coming
out and they well gun they're boasting about retaining the Interconninental championship by beating jay
Uso last week, and he felt like his title almost slipped away from him
the last time he defended it. He said he got lucky. He said,
nobody's perfect, but he's very very close. I love that that was
great. Uh. And then he brought up his WrestleMania match and he started
to really talk about how the fans online mostly are talking about his potential opponents.
He brought out Sammy Zain, he brought up Chad Gable, he brought
up the Miz, and even Our Truth. Our Truth got the biggest pop,
notably by the way in that and I'm like, ooh, they may
have something there, like what what do you think about so Sammy, Chad,
Miz and Our Truth. If it's if it is one of these men,
which one would you choose? I mean, obviously our Truth just for
the fact that can you imagine that crowd how they will They would absolutely lose
their mind if Our Truth somehow won this. And I feel like if it
was if it was like they where, you know, Gunser didn't have to
get pinned and our Truth pinned chat or something where it wouldn't make Dunner look
bad essentially, but that pop if Our Truth were to win, oh my
gosh, I would probably I would be crying. I would be so excited
for you, right. I know, he has that connection with the fans
that is so rare. It's a limited time with him because he's what fifty,
yes, and that I mean, but he looked. I mean,
the man looks like he's so in his thirties, so he props to that.
But really, you know, realistically, he's getting older. So we
don't have very much longer to treasure and adore and love our truth in the
ring, So please give us this. I don't think it would be the
worst thing in the world. I mean, our truth is deserving of a
title victory. Now. I still think it's probably going to be as a
tag team champion briefly with the Miz taking down Finn Balor and Damian Priest Atmania,
unless we get a potential Damien Priest and Gunther matchup, which he'll heal
isn't gonna work. You know, it's not going to just be Damien Priest
straight up against Gunther. I don't think even though the interrupted Gunther here,
that that would make a whole lot of sense. What did you think about
that part of it where the judgment Dain interrupted Imperium so two heel groups and
edit, Yeah, it was so funny. That was my son's exact thoughts.
He was like, how are we just gonna boo both of them?
Like that's a good point, hunt Son. Yeah, maybe it's so funny
because I always forget that Damien has the money in the bank breecase, and
I forget that it doesn't have to be, you know, the big championships.
When Dunther mentioned, like I said, you're not going to cash in
on me? What do you want? And I was like, oh,
yeah, he could cash in on that one if he wanted to. I
don't see that happening. But I feel like if it's between the two of
them, I think maybe Priest is probably more hated than Gunther is, so
maybe people would cheer for Dunthro. I'm really not sure how how that would
go. So I think it would be a good physical match. They're both
phenomenal in the ring, so that would be fun to watch for sure.
Yeah, it would be. I mean, given the chance, I mean,
or given the opportunity, I think fans would sign with Gunther over Damian
Priest if they had to choose, if that was actually a thing. I
mean, because Gunther is respected, right, Damian Priest is getting there,
but the people have understand who and what Gunther is. He's damn good in
the ring. He is a believable presence. He is a professional wrestler through
and through Damian Priest only recently, over the last year has really come into
his own so I think if they had to be forced to do it.
But there's definitely a bigger babyface here that I don't know who that is.
Maybe it's well, I was gonna say bron breaker, but didn't. He
just sign on SmackDown, so that's probably out. Yeah, So I mean,
I don't know who this person is. Maybe it's a fatal four way
like you said, and somebody sneaks a victory out like our truth pinning somebody
that's not gunther to win it. So they have options here. But Chad
Gable made a case later in the night to Adam Pierce, Hey, I
want to be involved. This is personal. It's about my family. He
made my son cry, so there was an emotional tie there too. So
I don't know how it's so fun in the ring like he is. He
is really good in the ring. His character with you know how goofy is.
I sometimes I hate that for him because I feel like that disminishes how
good he is in the ring. So it was nice to see him like
in a suit, having a serious conversation about what his career needs to look
like. So that'll be fun to see kind of if they keep that up
with him and his character. So that way, I feel like he'll be
taken more seriously if he were to challenge Gunther for another match. Yeah,
I'm with you, all right, Well let's continue on here. We've got
the Kofe Kingston and Xavier Woods taking on Imperiums Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Eventui in
a street fight. This lasted let me see the time here about was it
eighteen minutes? So pretty long here? And it ended cleaning with Ludwig Kaiser
and Giovanni Evinci beating Kofee and Xavier. What did you think this felt like
my childhood? I was like, this feels like the attitude era. How
the fact that the stands are on their feet the entire time. How this
was gruesome. I think at one point they kind of pulled a divon get
the Tables moments, so that kind of brought me back to my childhood.
I loved seeing the New Day like this, and I feel like their characters
because they had been this goofy come out with the pancakes and the trumpet or
whatever musical instrument that is for years now, and it's like they've they've got
to do something different because they are very like they you know, I do
believe they will be future Hall of Famers because of how much they did for
the tag team division, but they at some point it's like, y'all kind
of switch things up. So I loved it. They came out in blue
jeans and obviously got that baby face pop brocking the San Jose jerseys, which
reminded me of Ko and Sammy Zan. What match was that that was with
the Dutchman Day also, but this was wow. I mean the scene where
it was Xavier doing the elbow drop from the top road and how they had
that camera angle made it look so much like so much better. This was
a really, really fun match to watch, and it almost it felt as
if the two of the four of them were like, we've got to put
on a hell of a show. We've got to make a really good impression
so we can get our careers moving forward in a different path or in a
better direction, or to put us in the conversation of a title run for
the tag team so they you can tell that they really gave it all that
they had. It's really awesome to see the New Day not just be the
new Day, Like you forget how good they can wrestle, You forget how
good they are in the ring, and that they can deliver it on on
a very physical street fight level. This is a different type of New Day
now. I'm not suggesting they're turning heel or that they're going to stop with
any of the jokes, but their recent transformation into taking things actually semi seriously
is a nice breath of fresh air. Because while I have not been a
fan of their joking bootios, everything's a joke, everything is pancakes, kofe.
Kinkson loses the WWE title in ten seconds and the next week he's out
there hopping skipping with a unicorn horn on all the garbage that we've dealt with.
I mean, their characters have just been it's been. It's been to
me, it's just the epitome of the worst, the worst of professional wrestling.
But I understand why they do it. There's a market for it.
They're marketing a lot of to kids. I get the money side of it.
I totally understand that, but it's nice to see this the more serious
side come out now where they aren't making jokes every ten seconds. I appreciate
it because they are especially Kofe. Kofe's in the toy and whining years of
his care waning years of his career. He doesn't have a ton of time
left, so I think showing what he can still do in this type of
environment is important for his career and for the fans. Remember, Wow,
that's right. Kofe. Isn't just the you know, the butt of a
joker making inside jokes can actually still go. And for Xavier Woods, I
don't think we've seen the best days for Xavier Woods yet. I mean,
he's shown glimpses. Every time he gets an opportunity, he seems to knock
it out of the park in the ring. And I don't think we've seen
his best days yet. I know he's been in the New Day, and
the New Day has been around I think for like ten years now. I
mean I think it was twenty fourteen. If I'm not mistaken. I could
be wrong off the look, but it might be. And so for Xavier
Woods, I think moving forward, whenever they finally quietly disband, he can't
be in a group forever. I think Xavier Woods is a solo act is
something I'd like to explore. And I think even Iperian like they looked really
good. Sometimes I forget about Giovanni, like he is just such an afterthought
in that group that I think about him. But he looks phenomenal and I
will have to say, I'm going to call you out on this match.
So you on your review of the Chamber about Rhea showing off her assets in
her with her outfit, I think it's similar to the men. I'm going
to call out a kaiser like he has zero percent body fat and his short
his briefs literally have lk right in the groin area, So it's like he's
drawing attention to his prospects or his area just as much as Rio was drawing
attention to her her booty. I works the same way. However, the
difference is men have always competed in tights and the core audience is mostly men
when you're talking about professional wrestling. I think it's like an eighty percent rate
when it comes to men viewing the products. So when they see women on
the product that are plus, men are much more visual than women are,
Like that's just basically, I mean by a long shot, men are much
more visual, So there's a difference there where if men see women in an
outfit that accents the backside, they're going to react differently. Most not,
it's just not a you know, across the board, but generally men act
a little bit differently when they see an outfit that women are wearing like that
than if women were watching men compete like that. Think it's a bit of
a different aspect there. I understand the logic, but I just it's a
little different because of who is generally watching the product. I get we'll have
to say this for another episode. No, no, no, I'm all
for it, and it's just yeah, the thing is, I just don't
I don't want the women to regress. It's all like I just because sometimes
you see stuff on social media and you still you're like cool, like you're
an incredibly beautiful woman, like you know, and we get it, like
wow, your your backside or your front side or whatever side you want to
show is is pretty impressive. But when it's all you see all the time
from certain people, it's like are you a wrestler? Are you a what
is what are you supposed to be like, you know, it just it
makes me think back to Divas and when the women were over sexualized in the
attitude ere It just brings me back to that time when as a teenager I
wasn't complaining. But thinking back now, I don't want it going back like
because they've made too much progress forward that that kind of stuff and it's overdone.
It just gives me bad vibes. And I mean, it is what
it is. I know some people don't agree. That's how I feel.
I want it to be about wrestling for both genders. It's all got it
anyway, wasn't no, Yeah, I know, I know, I know
I set some people off on Twitter. It's been a mess. It's been
fun. But anyway, all right, let's continue. I've got let's see
here Grayson Waller video. Uh, I think we'll skip that. We've got
Shannon Bazer here and Zoe Stark versus Indie Heartwell and Candis Larray. Two minutes
and forty five seconds Shanna Bezler and Zoe Stark beat Indie Heartwell and Candas Larray.
And I mean, I don't know what to say other than just kind
of status quo. Here for the women's tag team division that gets an under
three minute match. What are your thoughts? I kind of forgot about it.
Tell you mentioned it? S Besler. She is hard to listen to
when she does promos, Like she almost makes me want to fast forward.
Now. I don't know what it is. It's I don't something about the
way that she gets a promo. I'm like, oh gosh, let me
fast forward her real quick. Because she's she's the hell of an athlete,
but her promos she makes me it's uncomfortable to watch for some reason. Uh
yeah, no, she's She's had some decent promos in the past. I
mean I particularly like the build that she had to wrestle Mania thirty six,
unfortunately in front of nobody with Becky Lynch, you know, during the pandemic
era. I mean that was a really fun Shane Basler. But yeah,
when she she's not really known for her captivate the audience with a A plus
promo type of vibe. I just don't think she has that organic kind of
a talent to her. But she's still a hell of a hell of a
hand in the ring. I mean she's she looks and feels different also because
she isn't just beauty queen that a lot of the women are. She's just
this hard nosed, badass woman that, like, you know, is a
legit It was a legitimate MMA fighter, and she brings that to the table,
so I think that helps her. But I would agree, Yeah,
but nobody ever comes out of raw thing king. Oh my god, that's
shanea Basler promo. You know, like it's just it is what it is.
But anyway, the crowd was super flat for this, But why would
they be crazy about this two minutes and they're you know, yeah, it's
two minutes. We hardly really know India Horborle. I know that they had
Intandace. I know they had their match at the opener for Elimination Timer,
but we really don't know much about them. So I would have been the
same way. Yeah, I clearly forgot about it and I watched it on
TV. It's just like I've said before, I might have said this with
you. It's like a box that they've checked and said, see, no,
we have women's tag team wrestling on the show. See But it's like,
yeah, sure you do technically, but it's as bare minimum as it
gets and it doesn't really help anyone do anything, Like, what's the endgame
here for these teams? You know, So it's a box that they're checking,
and that's kind of it. That's what it feels like. All right,
Well, let's go to our Truth here, who was shown backstage in
the Judgment Day clubhouse, but the Miz Johnny Gargano and Tomaso Champo were inside
the room, and he wonder what they were doing there, and Truth said
Judgment Day was gone for the night and he was thinking about the good old
days. Champas said he had a plan, and then I asked, our
Truth, are you ready? Truth took his small television out of the clubhouse.
He still thinks that he's dealing with degeneration, X's heartbreak, Kig Sean
Michaels. They're just like, okay, yeah, it's great. He just
he's lost touch with reality. But it's so endearing. I love it.
I love it. This is fine. I'm always like, I want more
Truth on my screen, please. I want Tom and Nick. Mysterial that
I need Tom and Nick. I mean, I just this. He's he's
he's a comedic genius. But the thing is also about our Truth. He's
not the butt of a joke. He's not like you don't laugh at him,
you know what I mean, Like, he's not like, oh,
this this clown. You look at him and you're like, he's so he's
so easy to like that you wish that he they would do more with him,
But you know, I don't know, it's so you're not laughing at
him in a way that you know you'd laugh at somebody that you don't respect.
But anyway, all right, So we got in the third hour here.
Starting off, we had McIntyre come out and thanked everyone for putting their
hands together and praying harder than they ever had in their lives. He said
it's because of them that he's facing seth Rollins for the World Championship at WrestleMania.
He talked about being jet lagged and having his eardrum burst during the match,
which I don't know if that's true or not, but he said that
the doctor told him he might not make to WrestleMania. He said he looked
at the doctor and he replied, who do you think I am? Cm
punk And he said, nothing's gonna stop me from missing WrestleMania, And then
he sat cross legged in the middle of the ring. What do you think.
I love this version of Drew and I unfortunately I missed a lot of
his where he was carrying the copy on his back during the pandemic era because
that was hard for me to watch. I'm gonna be one hundred percent transferent.
I would go weeks without watching wrestling during that time when there wasn't a
crowd. It was just hard to watch. So I didn't really get to
know Drew that well. But god, he is so he is so good.
He's almost so like, I know he's a heel, but you don't
even like he's fitting facts, Like you don't even want to hate him because
it's like, yeah, you got a point there. I feel like when
Punk comes back, Oh, this is going that's this is going to be
a really good program When Punk comes back, just from week after week Drew
pulling insult after insult, mocking cam by sitting across like in the middle of
the ring. Oh, this is going to be so good. I won't
cheer for Drew when Punk comes back, just because the back of how Drew
what he's been delivering every week. Oh, I love it. That's a
good point, you know. I mean, when seeing Punk returns. I
think most fans will return or will be behind Punk. But if if Drew
continues on this path of being one of the most interesting heels that I've seen
in years, I may be with you, I may be in your in
your boat here as we as we uh, you know, approach that time,
which seems like it'll be late spring, early summer, in which Punk
will be back h and eventually facing Drew and at that point he could be
world champion, and maybe Punk's going to come for his world championship at that
point. But this is such a fun version of Drew. But like you
said, that's what makes it so interesting is he thinks he's the hero in
his own story. But also he's not really lying about anything, Like what
is he lying about the point Drew. Yeah, And like you guys,
I think you guys mentioned you and anything mentioned on your show last night that
he's getting He's not doing anything wrong to win these matches, which is why
I found it interesting that he kind of called Rollins out on if you don't
stop, you know, trying to get in the Bloodline business, they're going
to interrupt our match. It's going to mess me. You know. He's
going to jump on that opportunity. I feel like he's doing like a reverse
psychology, like, oh, Seth, please stop messing with them, leave
them alone, knowing Seth is not going to knowing hopefully they're going to interfere
with their match so that way he can win the championship. That's good point.
I mean, Drew is playing Drew is playing a very kind of cerebral,
no pun intended game, right. He is paying playing a very interesting
mind game with his opponents. The way he says things, even coming up
to Jay Usso later in the show and saying that, you know, I've
thought about it, and you know you really deserve this, you know,
I mean, just the things in the way he delivers them. It's just
so it's so dark, but it's just it's brilliantly done where he hasn't changed
who he is. Really, it's just a tweak here and there, and
all of a sudden, he's one of the hottest heals in the company and
he's selling merch and he's got a world title opportunity at WrestleMania. I mean,
it's unbelievable of of of of what's happened to Drew McIntyre so I'm all
for this and having Seth come out there, and you know they were,
they seem pretty cordial. But the case to be made for the bloodline interfering
is pretty strong. I mean, the bloodline mine interfere. I hope they
don't. I don't need wonkiness at WrestleMania, but it's very possible that they
do. And it's very possible that Drew is going to win. The way
he's won his matches the last three months is having somebody attack his opponent and
he just takes advantage. He doesn't hit a low blow, he doesn't hit
you to his brass nuts. He just takes advantage to win. That's all.
So I'm for math Mania. I feel like and I really like Seth.
I love Seth, but I am deep down I am reading for Drew
to win this. Yes, that's yeah. I think most fans, even
though they go to the shows and cheer for rollins, I think deep down
they're like, but Drew is so intriguing. What does this look like?
And plus we've had a run with Seth from late May until what we're late
February now it'll be early April, so nearly a full year of seth Rollins
at that point as champion. That's a respectable run. I mean, anyway
you slice it, it's a respectable run. So the fans can't say,
well, you don't have enough time. A year nearly a year run is
I think a very solid run by today's standards. So all right, well
let's continue, and we got after this NYA Jackson Live Morgan, and this
lasted eight minutes with Live Morgan losing to NYA Jacks. But that's because Becky
Lynch attacked Jacks to get the DQ finish, and Lynch was slamming Jackson's head
on the broadcast table, got her inside the ring, and Lynch hit Jacks
from behind and sent her through the ropes to the floor, and the referee
held back Lynch while Jack's got was backed up on the ramp. And Live
Morgan I think did a nice job of this match. I'm not a massive
Live fan by any stretch, but you know, I think she showed I
think she showed something here in a match with Nia Jax, and she showed
a little bit toughness, a little variety of maneuvers, but also more importantly
her getting angry at Becky Lynch after the match backstage showed a different kind of
edge to her character that I think has been missing. And same that was
the exact feeling that I got, because after the loss to the Rumble where
she was in the final three, and then after the loss at Chamber,
I was like, is this going to piss her off enough to kind of
shift maybe someone in the heel, but more more aggressive. I just got
so tickled when they kept calling this her revenge tour, Yet her revenge against
is against Rhea. Has she even had a moment with Ria like, I'm
confused, more pissed off at someone, I'm going to go directly to that
person, not the other way around. So I'm I'm hoping that her revenge
tour has ended. I mean, she's just doing something else at this point.
And now that she got pissed off at Lynch, I'm wondering if in
an effort to really build Becky back up again, is that is that be
wonderful baby face? With Naya being pissed off at her and now with Lynch,
if they're going to if that's gonna help Becky look better, I guess
in favors with her and Rhea, Yeah, I mean I think that we're
you and I Arona something here. I think there is more to what we
saw with Live here getting pinned with the manhandle slam at a chamber, then
getting screwed in the matchup. Even though she didn't attack Live, she attacked
Naya. It's still messed with her match, so she's gonna take that personally.
I think we're about to see something happen with Live. Maybe she does
turn heel. I'm for it. I mean, I don't think that that's
gonna be the worst thing for a Live change of character. Live isn't,
you know, a beloved character by the fans. There's some pockets of fans
for Live, but she is generally kind of just there. She's I hate
to say it, but she's kind of like she's kind of like the wallpaper.
You know it's there, but you don't look at it a ton until
it's time to take it down or change it, you know. I mean,
And that's not disrespectfully to her in the ring. I think she's good
in the ring. She's obviously talented, she's decent on the microphone. But
I think this change in character will get the fans attention if they're going to
go with a heel turn and having her maybe attack back Lynch for all the
things that she has done to her inadvertently over the last couple of weeks.
So it's something to keep an eye on, kind of put a pin in,
as they say, and see how this evolves, because I think there
is something to this with liv and Becky Lynch, So yeah, I agree.
All right, Well let's continue here, and we got Grayson Waller and
Austin Theory interviewed by Kathy Kelly. She asked Waller of having Cody on his
show backfired, and Waller said Cody disrespected him in his hometown and attack Theory.
The line here of the night for the Waller was this that he said
he did everything he could to protect Theory, who was kind of like that
was funny, and Theory just kind of looked at him because, I mean,
we all saw the chamber. He just stood there and watched and did
made zero effort to help his friend. So that was a fun line.
But then we got Cole hyping up jay USO's appearance on the Jet Redmond Show.
But for NHL fans, I care. So then we finally get to
the main event and it was Cody Roads versus Grayson Waller, and this match
ended in just under eighteen minutes, And it really wasn't about the match here
because you knew that Grayson Waller wasn't gonna win. And Grayson Waller, I
mean maybe out outside of like one or two matches, I really don't know
how many he's won, but yet continues to get over, So kudos to
him. But Cody Rhods wins with the Crossroads and after he hit a Cody
Cutter and he wins. But it was more about Paul Hayman and his introduction
and having these off duty but also suspended cops that are i e. Local
wrestling talent come out and you know, surround Cody and I'll let you take
it from there. I don't know what your thoughts are about this match and
the segment that followed. Yeah, the match was kind of predictable. We
all knew that Cody was going to win this. I feel bad for Austin
Theory, like where he was a year ago with John Cena compared to where
he is now as the puppy dog to Grayson Waller, Like what all them,
how the mighty have fallen? Which I hate because you know, theory.
Theory is from a woman's perspective. He's fun to look at. I
think he's he's great on the mic, and but gosh, he is he
certainly has fallen from grace. I feel like since his match with John Cena
that definitely did not put him over the way that it should have. But
obviously the fun part of this whole thing was Paul Haymond coming out. I
love Paul Hayman on my TV screen. He is everything he does is a
plus. I just I got so tickled about his you know, off duty
cops. I always wonder like, where did they get these guys, because
clearly they know how to wrestle. So I'm like, rhere come from?
You know, the security guards or the paramedics that get you know, beat
up in the ring. But I just thought it was so funny at the
very end when Paul was like, obviously is typical, you know, call
Roman, and then he pulled out the second cell phone of the call rock,
I was like, oh, we got two cell phones? Now.
I think he forgot that there's a merged call feature, Like you know what
I mean, Like why the second I know the second phone is for effect,
but Paul Hayman, who continues to look like he doesn't know how to
use an iPhone. I mean, he doesn't know that you could just click
ad call. You're an audience fulled with like you know people then didn't hear
you? Pauls right? Right, that's it. They have no idea.
Oh my god, that's that's a good point. But I'm with you.
I mean, you knew that those three local talent, I mean, they're
not going to the PD. They're not going to the local police department and
saying we need like three guys that are willing to learn how to take pro
wrestling bumps in a few hours, right, come on down to the arena.
We'll show you how to take some No. I mean, of course
they're local wrestling talent. And you know you can always kind of tell because
you look at him and you're like, that doesn't look like a cop,
like you can just tell you no, Like, that's definitely like one of
the one of the talent, you know, local talent. And that's fine.
But Cody dispatched them, hit them with chair shots. But during this
rebuttal with Hayman, it was interesting to note that he's he said that Cody
said he's done being nice. He's done, you know, playing the nice
guy, which I like because I mean, I'm not a fan of the
Cody Rhads babyface character. So maybe a more angry Cody Rhodes will make it
more palatable for me. It's not going to change my total opinion, but
at least I won't want to change the channel when I see him. And
also he said to close the show that he is not the one being hunted,
that he's the one hunting. So that was an interesting line, right,
Like, it was interesting that Cody said he's the one who's going to
try to take down the blood line and it's not the other way around.
A nice little play on words there, but I just couldn't. Like,
I was like, okay, sure, Cody was my thought when he said
this. I just could him. Yeah. But it's true because he's he's
always so happy, go lucky, so when he gets angry, you're just
like, yeah, sure, you'll be about thirty minutes, you're gonna put
on your you're gonna put on your suit and go to bed, and you're
yeah, you can walk your dog. You'll be smiling, right. Uh,
Yeah, that's exactly it. So I mean, that's true because all
you do is see Cody smiling all the time. Every day. I bet
you he smiles as he's sleeping, and it's just yeah, I'm with you.
But at least they're trying to show a bit of an edge to to
Cody. He needs that edge. And he also didn't look like an idiot,
right Like, because you could see the bloodline set up coming a mile
away. You're you're thinking, okay, yeah, there's Jimmy, Jimmy or
Solo are here somewhere, and he's he didn't look stupid. He was looking
around, he got a chair smart, It's what anybody should do. But
you're right, one thing about Austin theory to just go back quickly, Solo
is kind of in the same boat like where you know what I mean,
Like all these these beating John Cena moments have done nothing for theory and Solo
absolutely nothing in fact for Austin theory. I think it actually hurt him,
especially with the build and everything else. I went into a John Cena just
torched him. It has done nothing to help really either talent. But that's
another story. So just a shame. They're both great. I mean,
well, I don't really know much about Solo. He's a base in the
ring, but yeah, I hate that for him, Yeah I do too,
But no, I mean I think that this, this is gonna be
something that probably doesn't last long. With Theory and Waller, we'll see past
WrestleMania. I think that coming with you know, he did everything to help
out my friends, did you I know? And he said it just kind
of in passing as just like matter of fact. He's just like you didn't
even need to think about it. It's just, of course I did.
I try to, you know, it was great. Waller is very talented,
there's no doubt about it. He's good in the ring. You know,
he doesn't look as chiseled nearly. He's chiseled, of course Austin Theory
does. But he could talk and sometimes talking and the ability to cut a
promo and have a presence is even more important than what you look like,
you know for sure. So well, before we go, of course,
I want to give everyone, give you an opportunity to let everyone know that
this is not just one of the passions you have, wrestlings one of them.
I know you have a podcast and a business on the side that you
have, and I just wanted to give you an opportunity to let everyone know
what that is. Yes, I am a wedding planner. So if you're
engaged to be married and you need someone out plind your wedding, that would
be me, and we could talk wrestling during our wedding planning meetings. It
would be a win win. My company is Southern Sparkle Wedding and Events.
We're based out of Tennessee, and our podcast is The Wedding Pro Podcast.
Awesome, very cool. You are the only wedding planner that I know that
is a wrestling fan. I'm sure there are more out there, but I
think they're pretty few and far between. I'm be the only one, honestly,
but it really does win me over sometimes with my grooms. It's got
to well, like I saw on your Facebook that you've shared a post from
You're like, oh, yeah, I watched wrestling, and they're like what.
Yeah, I'm sure some of the men are like this is just impossible,
and then yeah, and the women are nice to everybody because I'm so
prissy, I'm so girly. I'm you know, decked out and my blink
and my labels and everyone's like, wait a minute, you like what,
Oh yeah, I'm sure you You definitely don't fit the typical pro wrestling fan.
Look, that's for sure, and on top of it, the profession
I don't. I mean again, that is the last thing I would think
to ask. My wedding planner is like, hey, you catch raw last
night? You know what I mean, Like, like in the middle of
like trying to pick out the colors from scheme for my table, I'm like,
oh man, how about that that segment last night with Cody? Right?
You know, I've been like, you're doing a podcast, tell me
what the podcast is. Oh, that's great, I mean that is It's
an interesting combination. I love it, and uh, you know, I'm
sure as your son continues to grow up and it takes makes your reins as
a fan, I hope that the number one he grows out of this Cody
FA. Hopefully it's just a Cody FA. It's a phase, right.
But also he's got a lot of fun segments coming up to the Rock the
next three weeks, the Rock, you WrestleMania, maybe even the Rock beyond
that, because it looks like the Rock cities in it for the long game.
So your son is probably going to have just as much fun as you
are over the next And it's just so fun like leading up to this because
very like as we go to the road to Wrestleman, I always watch some
of the past Wresselmania's like that's what we do on Sunday. So we watched
WrestleMania eighteen. I believe this week was the one with stone Hole and the
Rock. That not the final one, but the one before that, which
was, Oh my gosh, I just forgot how good it was seventeen,
so I know, sevent in Houston. I totally forgot how the normal it
was. I had to like fast forward anything to do with the women,
though, God, I forgee, it's it's almost it's hard to watch.
Yeah, it makes you so happy of where we are now. I'm so
grateful for Riha and the rest of my queens, right, and like you
look at this and you're like, how did we tolerate this? This was
this was like just okay, and women would be like, you know,
not at WrestleMania, but you'd have gravy bowlfights, bron panties, matches,
like it was like there was a bed and it was like a hello fight.
I'm like, really, yep, it was just a I'm telling you,
that's that's what I don't That's the last thing I want. It's not
that I don't enjoy what looking at a beautiful woman. I'm a married man,
but I'm not blind, right, So like, I don't hate that.
But that's not why I watched wrestling. There's a million other forms you
can go and do that, and that's not what I came here for.
So you know, I appreciate, uh, I appreciate the athleticism. So
WrestleMania seventeen, I mean, you watched one of the best ones, one
of the most beloved WrestleManias of all time, with the Rock and Austin and
Austin turning heel and joining Vince. That ended up being a big disaster in
a big way for Austin. But uh man, now you're making me go
on, I want to go back. We watched another one and it made
me I think, I really, if you know the Rock is on his
heel turn right now, please bring back that his heel enturance, his Hollywood
Rock entrance with the helicopter. I'm like, if they that would be iconic
at WrestleMania forty. So I think that they did modify his music and it
was posted and I posted it on my Twitter feed or x feed. Uh,
it is awesome. It is a combination of Yeah, it's got a
little bit of his if you like the intro he has now, but then
it morphs into the helicopter theme a little bit, and it's got this nice
under rock tone, So it's it's a bit of a combination of things,
but it's still got that rock Hollywood helicopter entrance vibe. It's awesome. So
if that's true, then we'll hear it on SmackDown on Friday Night. But
uh, well it's it's it's awesome. So but before we go, I
know, i'd like to just in case if you had anything that we didn't
cover that you wanted to mention or comment on. No, I think that
was it, all right, awesome. Well, Christy, thank you so
