WWE Main Event Recap w/Daniel

<v Speaker 1>Listen WWE Superstar Drew mcintylor, and you're listening to the
<v Speaker 1>WWE podcast.
<v Speaker 2>The show, the one that everybody wants me.
<v Speaker 3>I st sixteen, So guys, work your.
<v Speaker 1>Ass this mind you can acknowledge me.
<v Speaker 2>What is going on? Every buddy, and welcome to another
<v Speaker 2>episode of the Main Event Review. Thank you very much
<v Speaker 2>for tuning in on this episode today. For those that
<v Speaker 2>do watch main of you on a regular basis, I'm
<v Speaker 2>talking the show, not the podcast. There is actually no
<v Speaker 2>episode to review today. It was a full year compilation
<v Speaker 2>of all the Main Event matches that occurred throughout most
<v Speaker 2>of the year, just the main highlights. So I thought
<v Speaker 2>I'd do something a little bit different on this Main
<v Speaker 2>Event episode and pretty much want to wrap up everything
<v Speaker 2>that's happened on Main Event and some just key highlight
<v Speaker 2>moments I guess that have occurred. So don't think this
<v Speaker 2>episode will be very long. Honestly, it's not something I've
<v Speaker 2>prepared for either. Just went on Main Event today, tried
<v Speaker 2>to watch a few of the matches and give my
<v Speaker 2>sort of favorite match across the whole Main Event rosters
<v Speaker 2>throughout the whole year, and then also pretty much caving
<v Speaker 2>off I think the final year before we get to
<v Speaker 2>January and Rural Ron will begins and everything else sort
<v Speaker 2>of kicks on for WrestleMania. So I guess I do
<v Speaker 2>want to start with probably the probably best crowd reaction
<v Speaker 2>on main event, and that was most definitely and I'm
<v Speaker 2>not trying to be biased here, but it was Grayson
<v Speaker 2>Waller in Australia in Perth taking on Ray Phoenix in
<v Speaker 2>a match that was a really really good match as well,
<v Speaker 2>and it was actually awesome to see Grayson Waller being
<v Speaker 2>on main event. I would have preferred that he was
<v Speaker 2>on either SmackDown or Raw answered Samy Zain's Open Challenge,
<v Speaker 2>which would have made more sense there, but he ended
<v Speaker 2>up taking on Ray Phoenix and he did end up
<v Speaker 2>winning the match there with an interesting sort of finisher.
<v Speaker 2>As I've mentioned previously, it was like a nothing but
<v Speaker 2>net sort of three sixty finish which was really good.
<v Speaker 2>And Yeah, since then, he hasn't been able to really
<v Speaker 2>get on the main scene. He's been doing stuff with
<v Speaker 2>The New Day, but there's nothing really going on for him,
<v Speaker 2>which is a shame because I think he's got the
<v Speaker 2>characteristics to be a very good heel. I've mentioned it
<v Speaker 2>on several occasions. I'd love for Grayson Waler to be
<v Speaker 2>I guess the mis for the future. And people might
<v Speaker 2>not think the mes is a legend or whatnot, but
<v Speaker 2>he is a two time Grand Slam champion and he
<v Speaker 2>was a very good heel in his time. He's certainly
<v Speaker 2>not one of the best we've ever had, but he's
<v Speaker 2>definitely up there, and I really think Grayson Waller could
<v Speaker 2>could reach up to the levels of that. I miss
<v Speaker 2>his show the Waller Effect as well. I think they
<v Speaker 2>could definitely bring that back as well. And I just
<v Speaker 2>love to see someone that's got pure Aussie pride and
<v Speaker 2>he represents everything about Australia in negative and positive ways
<v Speaker 2>as well. But I think that match for me was
<v Speaker 2>probably the I guess best match, and in terms of
<v Speaker 2>crowd reactions, the loudest crowd reactions of the year for
<v Speaker 2>main Event. Then we have the most featured on Main Event,
<v Speaker 2>and that's talking about the Alpha Academy. So we've spoke
<v Speaker 2>about the Alpha Academy. I think every single week. They're
<v Speaker 2>a feel good, fun team. I think while while they
<v Speaker 2>continue to be in WW, they're probably just going to
<v Speaker 2>be into backstage segments and primos, and when I'm talking
<v Speaker 2>about Alpha Academy, I'm morally talking about Otis and a
<v Speaker 2>Curate Tazawa. Maxine dupri herself has taken leaps and bounds
<v Speaker 2>this year and is now currently the Women's Into Continental Champions,
<v Speaker 2>so good on her for that. So I would say
<v Speaker 2>that next year the Alpha Academy will probably continue to
<v Speaker 2>be on the main event, be the staple, just get
<v Speaker 2>the crowd going, get them energized, and just bring some
<v Speaker 2>exciting moments as they normally do. They're fun and sort
<v Speaker 2>of I guess I would say careless team. You know,
<v Speaker 2>Otis has a laugh if the worm a Cura Tzawa
<v Speaker 2>is the little small guy that gets thrown around by Otis.
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think that that's going to change anytime soon,
<v Speaker 2>if I'm honest. So I think, yeah, they've been on
<v Speaker 2>main event every week and they'll probably continue to do
<v Speaker 2>so as well. But they were the long the most appearances,
<v Speaker 2>They had the most appearances on the main event show
<v Speaker 2>in total as well. The next one would be the
<v Speaker 2>biggest surprise main event appearance, and I would have to
<v Speaker 2>go Damien Priest for sure. Him being on a main
<v Speaker 2>event card was not signing I ever expected to see
<v Speaker 2>and the fact that he was on there was simply crazy.
<v Speaker 2>And well he won the match, he beat Kid Wilson,
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, I don't think
<v Speaker 2>a person like Damien Price should be on a main
<v Speaker 2>event show like he went on there and then he
<v Speaker 2>ended up opening SmackDown the other day. Go check out
<v Speaker 2>my SmackDown review by the way, But yeah, that was
<v Speaker 2>a nice, nasty surprise for me just seeing Damien Priest
<v Speaker 2>there and hopefully we don't see that next year superstars
<v Speaker 2>of his level being back on main event as well,
<v Speaker 2>and the same for women's I will go Stephanievakere. She
<v Speaker 2>did take on Ivan Now and got the victory. But
<v Speaker 2>the only difference between these two was that when Stephanie
<v Speaker 2>Vakaire joined the main roster, she had her main event
<v Speaker 2>run and that was like literally I think, a one
<v Speaker 2>off from what we saw from Stephanie vakn I think
<v Speaker 2>it was a good way to enter her into the
<v Speaker 2>main scene and to give her a chance to compete
<v Speaker 2>on main event, But I don't think she's going to
<v Speaker 2>be near main event anytime soon. I think she's got
<v Speaker 2>a very good stable place on Monday Night Row she's
<v Speaker 2>currently the Women's A World champion, and yeah, I definitely
<v Speaker 2>think it's going to stay like that as well. So
<v Speaker 2>those are like my sort of final takes on main event,
<v Speaker 2>the matches that occurred if you did want to see
<v Speaker 2>the actual show. We had Ray Phoenix and Grayson Waller
<v Speaker 2>Grace Waller getting the victory. We had OTM and the
<v Speaker 2>Alpha Academy with the I believe the Alpha Academy getting
<v Speaker 2>the victory here, and then we had Stephanie Vakere take
<v Speaker 2>on IVY. Now you can see where the trend is
<v Speaker 2>coming from, Stephanie va Kerre getting the victory. And last
<v Speaker 2>but not least, it was the machine Guns taking on
<v Speaker 2>as I bring it up Thraxium, which was a pretty
<v Speaker 2>bad and fourth match as well. Again, sometimes on main
<v Speaker 2>event you've got two baby faces going at it with
<v Speaker 2>each other, and that's sort of at the end they
<v Speaker 2>all raise their hands up at the motors Shitty. The
<v Speaker 2>Motor City machine Gun's got the victory for that one.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I don't know about like what's gonna happen
<v Speaker 2>with the main event next year. The only thing I
<v Speaker 2>do know for sure is that the Alpha Academy will
<v Speaker 2>continue to be on there, so excited for another year
<v Speaker 2>of main event. So this is you can call this
<v Speaker 2>like a little bit of a wrap up, just a
<v Speaker 2>small episode to come in. I'm not sure if they're
<v Speaker 2>going back to normal episodes next week, but if they are,
<v Speaker 2>I'll definitely bring one out or else I'll be posting
<v Speaker 2>when the next episode comes out and we go back
<v Speaker 2>to normal. But yeah, just a quick little episode to
<v Speaker 2>sort of just give you a small recap. Thank you
<v Speaker 2>very much for tuning into it. If you guys do
<v Speaker 2>celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas to you all. Hope you guys
<v Speaker 2>have a happy new year. Here in Australia, we celebrate
<v Speaker 2>a summer Christmas, which is which is quite the So
<v Speaker 2>we usually have our Christmas during the day and we
<v Speaker 2>normally have like a barbecue going off and a lot
<v Speaker 2>of people say shrimp on the barbie, but I've never
<v Speaker 2>had a shrimp on the barbie on my life. But yeah,
<v Speaker 2>the barbecue's on and everyone's sort of in shorts and
<v Speaker 2>t shirts rather than sweaters and at nights, so yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's sort of our Christmas. But Merry Christmas to everyone.
<v Speaker 2>If I don't hear from yous next year, have a
<v Speaker 2>lovely new year, and really excited to bring back main
<v Speaker 2>event episodes once again in twenty twenty six in what
<v Speaker 2>will be hopefully a big wrestling year on the calendar.
<v Speaker 2>This year was good overall. I think if I bring
<v Speaker 2>up the other stuff main shows, but obviously it was
<v Speaker 2>centered by John Cena's retirement tour, and I think now
<v Speaker 2>that that's out the way and it is sad that
<v Speaker 2>Johnsena's gone, we'll be able to more focus on main
<v Speaker 2>storyline too. Hopefully Triple H can learn from his booking
<v Speaker 2>this year, because I think there was a few that
<v Speaker 2>were overhyped and a bit disappointing. And hope hopefully if
<v Speaker 2>the Rock does come back, he actually does something and
<v Speaker 2>doesn't ruin storylines either. But overall, it's been great to
<v Speaker 2>see all the superstars perform as well. You know what
<v Speaker 2>one I'll do Men and Female Superstars of the Year.
<v Speaker 2>For me, I'm giving my male award two. It would
<v Speaker 2>have to be either Gantha or bron Breaker. I think
<v Speaker 2>rome Breaker would be most emerging, but it have to
<v Speaker 2>be one of those. And for the women's I would
<v Speaker 2>give Tiffany Stratton given her run this year was pretty
<v Speaker 2>it was pretty spectacular until she did drop the belt
<v Speaker 2>and a close second being Stephanie Vare. But yeah, that's
<v Speaker 2>it from me. I'll catch you guys next year. Once again,
<v Speaker 2>thank you very much for tuning into these main event episodes.
<v Speaker 2>I hope you've been enjoying them and take care.
