1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Welcome to the ring, it's rich and atom. 2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000 Breaking down the fights with flair and passion. 3 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Tag teams grappling belts are clashing. 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Finisher's and factions catching action. 5 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000 Welcome to Finisher's and Factions does NXT. 6 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000 It's great to have you all. 7 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000 My name's Adam, one of the hosts of Finisher's and Factions. 8 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000 And as ever, joined by my co-host Rich. 9 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Rich, welcome in. 10 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000 Thank you, mate. How are you doing? 11 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000 I'm not too bad. Thank you, buddy. Not too bad at all. 12 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000 And today we're covering the episode from the 4th of March, 2025. 13 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000 This was this one just gone. 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:11,000 And we were in back in the performance centre in Orlando, Florida. 15 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,000 And we are sort of one week removed from NXT being on the road in Cincinnati, Ohio. 16 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,000 And we start with a VT recap of last week's episode, which honestly, I'd really enjoyed last week's episode. 17 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000 What were your thoughts? 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Yeah, it was a very good episode. 19 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:38,000 There was a few little bits that I was a little bit like about like the main event wasn't maybe as good as it could have been. 20 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:50,000 That was obviously like the Ricky Saints match. His debut wasn't as strong as it could have been at all actually in his match with Jevon Evans against Ethan Page and Wes Lee. 21 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000 But yeah, no, this week I definitely enjoyed just as much as to be fair. 22 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:07,000 And for me personally, at the moment, if you take out the production issues that NXT seems to have over the last few weeks, it's actually the strongest product, I think. 23 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:29,000 It's 100% the strongest product. And that's what that's almost what makes it even more frustrating when it comes to the production issues that they've been facing because realistically, there's no reason why NXT shouldn't be trouncing both Raw and SmackDown in terms of content. 24 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:45,000 I mean, not only have they got some incredible talent on the NXT roster, but we've had appearances from the Hardy Boys, we've had appearances from Moose, we've seen Santina Morello, we've seen a lot of the TNA guys as well. 25 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,000 That automatically adds in a bonus, you never know what you get in at the moment. NXT is top of its game. 26 00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Yeah, so much more and sort of added value and things like that. And yeah, it's just if they can get to the bottom of these production issues, I don't know if it's, this is the thing is I don't know if it's WWE that are having production issues, which seems incredibly unlikely, or if it's Netflix. 27 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:34,000 But it's probably as unlikely that someone is having some issues because I know we've missed out on some crucial parts of matches. We've missed out on promos, all because the cable network in America has had adverts and they've just cut everything out from that point to that point. 28 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000 So yeah, it did make things a little bit more difficult. 29 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Yeah, and regrettably this week is is no different as it sort of really spoiled this week for me. I didn't enjoy NXT as much as I have been, which sort of really annoyed me because 30 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:14,000 I enjoyed the match card, like, even just our first match between Chelsea Green and Piper Nevin versus Zarya and Sal Ruka. You know, that that was a bang in the first match, but it should be pushed through the cards, you know, you get to see sort of like a lot of other good quality matches 31 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:27,000 that kind of come to the core. But I mean, yeah, there was a few that were a bit head-missed, but we've got the North American Championship at the end of it, you know, we've got some good matches on this card. 32 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,000 But yeah, the production issues this week really did not help NXT where it should be at the top of the ladder. 33 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:45,000 No, definitely not. But let's jump into this match, sort of current United States female champion, Chelsea Green and 34 00:04:45,000 --> 00:05:05,000 I forget what bodyguard basically Piper Nevin versus the team of Zarya and Sal Ruka who have been, despite sort of looking like the original odd couple, they have been doing some really good work here in NXT over the last few weeks. 35 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:22,000 They said running though, yeah, they've had a bit of a hot streak the last few weeks. They've had some not big wins, but wins that you wouldn't necessarily expect them to have considering the amount of time that they've been a tag team. 36 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:35,000 And that is, that's not long to be fair. I think that's probably since sort of vengeance day, we've seen more of them. But we've definitely definitely started to get to see a lot more of them. 37 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:54,000 There's definitely coming on quite strong this week, where most definitely Chelsea Green has had a few incidents last few weeks and a few losses that haven't necessarily hurt her, but have helped other people. 38 00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Yeah, it's not. It's definitely not been a more of a hindrance to herself than a help, but 39 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:11,000 has been concentrating a lot more on this tag team thing with Piper Nevin and we have seen defend the women's United States title as well. 40 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:21,000 So yeah, be interesting to see what they're going to what they're going to push for that but this this match had some some pretty good sort of spots in it to be fair. 41 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:34,000 I've got a few different ones noted. 42 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:52,000 So this match, they weren't really there for a lot of this match. There was one bit where there was a double head button they both kind of stack it around in the middle of the ring looking at each other with the foot that hurt. 43 00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:04,000 So I've really got spot wise from from Zario and Python. I've been a few that you've picked up that I haven't which I'd be interested into. 44 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:23,000 For me, it's more, I've got probably quite a few more notes than you have around this but I don't think a lot of it is actually to do with the match. 45 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:40,000 But certainly an unknown reason. We've got Lillian Garcia doing ring announcing on NXT this evening. And it's a case that I can't I can picture his face but I cannot for the life of me remember his name. 46 00:07:40,000 --> 00:08:03,000 The bloke that normally does ring announcing for NXT is inexplicably absent. And they've got, I mean, it's definitely a trade up Lillian Garcia I mean is an absolute legend in ring announcing as it goes but the other bits that I've got here is the 47 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:13,000 we see bits and pieces throughout the throughout this match where like I think Ava announces that. 48 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Oh, I'm gone. 49 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:24,000 I'm trying to figure out my trying to figure out my own frigging notes at this point. Yeah, I've got down here that I mean on Evans. 50 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:40,000 I'm not under. As I said, my I had real issues with this episode this week and I'm not sure if I've got notes down here that happened before the match officially started. 51 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:59,000 If there was a like a like a promo because I've got down here in the notes for this match that Ava announced that Javon Evans will be facing Ethan Page next Tuesday at roadblock in a New York Street fighter Madison Square Garden. 52 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Was a recap from last week's episode. No, I don't think so. But I also think we're missing something here right so just to go back into the match to be fair. 53 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:31,000 It's one by Zarya and Soruka. There's a double team on Soruka as she goes to hit the moon so Piper Nevin ends up dropping a leg drop on Chelsea Green mid ring. 54 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:47,000 Zarya throws Piper Nevin out of the onto Chelsea Green in like a powerbomb style and a Soruka hits a soul snatcher on Chelsea Green for a very clean three pin three count pin in the middle of the ring. 55 00:09:47,000 --> 00:10:02,000 One thing we do see is during this match Chelsea Green has an unfortunate she ends up suffering an injury. She takes something to the face. I'm not trying to show it. I'm hoping it's not Piper Nevin's ass. 56 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:21,000 But she ends up with a broken nose and you can see that the inside of the bit in the middle of your nose that septum that was very much bent to a rather awkward angle. So yeah, there was blood everywhere for a little while. 57 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:31,000 So I'm hoping Chelsea Green feels slightly better so she can get back in the ring and have it re popped by Piper Nevin's butt cheeks again. 58 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Yeah, this is it. Got some big time collar all over her face which was quite a visceral image. 59 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Yeah, and then from the match I had a backstage segment so I'm not entirely sure where our notes have gone in different directions but I think they'll probably lead us back to the same place so we might have to go with it. 60 00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Yeah, pretty much. The only other thing that I'll mention that seems to be in my notes for this match is that there'll be sort of there are roadblock related press conferences sort of things taking place during NXT, some of which we are actually privy to as the episode progresses. 61 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:23,000 So yeah, I've got a GM office promo next after this match. 62 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000 With Ava and Jordan Grace. Is that the one that you've got? 63 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000 Yeah, talking about Roxanne Perez from last week. 64 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:47,000 Roxanne Perez is a little bitch and she gets around everywhere but she's got her finger in so many people's faces. You know when people wave your finger in your face all you want to do is rip it off and shove it down their throat. 65 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:59,000 She's the one waving the finger in everyone's face at the moment. It doesn't matter where you are, whether you're on NXT, whether you're on Raw or whether you're in the Elimination Chamber. 66 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000 You're sticking her finger in your face and she's telling you something you don't want to hear. 67 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:17,000 And yeah, it starts getting tasty with Roxanne Perez because we get told about Cora Jade getting a match against. 68 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:28,000 So Cora Jade has managed to wangle her way into a match against the TNA Women's Ex-Division Champion, Masha Slamovich. 69 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:34,000 TNA Knockouts title holder at Masha Slamovich. 70 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000 I'm sorry, I don't know much about TNA. 71 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:44,000 Yeah, no, it's a bit of an odd one, that one. 72 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000 I'm not sure how. But then again, this seems to be sort of Cora Jade's MO. 73 00:12:49,000 --> 00:13:01,000 She seems to get these matches seemingly out of nowhere, but again, this could have all been sort of born of a... 74 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Born of a... Oh, that's the word I'm looking for, of a storyline from TNA that we just haven't seen. 75 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:19,000 So this is going to be possibly sort of a bit of a running theme with our coverage of NXT for the foreseeable future, 76 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:26,000 is that we're going to miss out on big parts, not because we're bad at taking notes. 77 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,000 I mean, apparently I'm not off to a fantastic start this week, but it's more of a case... 78 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000 It's not time for my work week to consider TNA as well as three live shows, 79 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,000 or three programmes a week from WWE plus PLEs and stuff. 80 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:53,000 Yeah, this is it. WWE on its own to try and cover, while both of us have full-time responsibilities, 81 00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:01,000 it is a physical impossibility. We're just not going to be able to do it. It ain't going to work. 82 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:11,000 I get behind some weeks as it is, and Adam's like, we need to have a week to record, and I go, bro, I still need to finish this episode. 83 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:17,000 But having said that, it's a case that even there are weeks where I've been behind. 84 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:25,000 This week is one of them. I think Rich actually, for the first time in a long time, has managed to pull ahead of me slightly, 85 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:34,000 but it's a case... Yeah, if we had to try adding other promotions like TNA and fucking AEW, 86 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:43,000 it is a case that we're just going to fall so far behind. It's going to be such a massive workload. 87 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:52,000 We'd essentially need another... We'd need more hosts to cover these different frigging promotions, basically. 88 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000 We'd end up getting more episodes, because each conversation would have to be split at least two, 89 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:04,000 because we already talk enough shit for two hours as it is without adding a third person in with us to... 90 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Oh, 100%. 100%. Yeah, so we've got this match all lined up. 91 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000 If I see anything on social media about it, I'll probably go back and give it a little watch, 92 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:26,000 but I'm not going to hold out too much. We then go from this backstage segment with Ava into... 93 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:36,000 Well, we see Jada Parker come into the ring, really, and then we're introduced to the fact that we're getting a match between Jada Parker and Kalani Jordan. 94 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:47,000 This is... 95 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Yeah, sorry, I'm just looking at my notes going, what? 96 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:58,000 So we then go into a backstage segment with Tric Williams talking to Ava about, 97 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,000 well, he's trying to get something out, and I don't quite remember off the top of my head what he was trying to get out. 98 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:10,000 All I made note of is the fact that you're Ryad Connors and Cale Dixon were trying to constantly give Ava a parcel, 99 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:17,000 and Ava's like, oh, yeah, no, that's quite a take-it. And then Tric Williams is like, no, take your parcel, fuck off. 100 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000 Come back in five minutes, you know? 101 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:28,000 Yeah. Tric Williams has been in a fucking terrible mood for weeks now. 102 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:35,000 And yeah, just not... He's very much... I'm getting the impression because we have to point this out every now and again. 103 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,000 I thought giving them a whooping has been in a bad mood. 104 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,000 I think this is spanned even further back than that. 105 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000 So the very first episode covering NXT that Finishes and Factions did was New Year's Evil. 106 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:58,000 This was where Tric Williams lost his NXT men's title to the current champion Oberfemi. 107 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:08,000 And that has just been... It's been a steady decline for Tric Williams from that point on. 108 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:15,000 Definitely. But it does say one interesting thing about Finishes and Factions, though. 109 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Just bear with me a second because I thought I was signed in, but I'm not. See, we do do this live. 110 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:30,000 This episode going out is currently going to be episode number 34 of Finishes and Factions. 111 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:41,000 So that means that Oberfemi has been, in holding his title, over the course of 32 episodes, 112 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:48,000 of which a majority of those have been NXT. 113 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000 I'd like to say a third, but I think they've had more PLEs. 114 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:58,000 But yeah, so we've spent a lot of time watching Oberfemi with that title ever since he took it off Tric Williams. 115 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,000 Yeah, this is it. And we've just seen Tric Williams trying to... 116 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,000 Trying to get a... He's trying to redeem himself to a certain degree, but it's... 117 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:20,000 You say that. A man trying to redeem himself does not grab Kail Dixon by the jaw and pin him up against the wall. 118 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,000 No, but a pissed off Tric Williams definitely does. 119 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Yeah, doing that in front of your boss as well, I would not recommend, guys, talking from personal experience 120 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000 and don't do it to your boss, that might get you fired. 121 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000 Yeah, definitely. 122 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Talking from personal experience. 123 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:49,000 But we then jump back into... We jump back into the ring, but this really pissed... 124 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000 They'd already started the match. 125 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,000 So this was Jada Parker versus Kalani Jordan. 126 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:12,000 And we've said before... Well, I've certainly said before that no matter what Kalani Jordan does... 127 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,000 She's boring. 128 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000 I really struggle with her. 129 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,000 Yes, so... 130 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:22,000 In case that Jada Parker... We haven't seen a lot of, I can get behind Jada Parker. 131 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000 Bet you could. 132 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000 Yeah, I expected that. 133 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000 That's not what she said. 134 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000 Like... 135 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,000 Yeah, like Jordan Grace, haven't seen a lot of her. 136 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,000 I can root for Jordan Grace. 137 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000 There's so many other superstars in NXT that I haven't seen a lot of. 138 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:54,000 But I can sort of decide whether I'll root for them or whether I fucking hate them. 139 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000 Kalani Jordan sits very much in that grey area in the middle. 140 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:06,000 She's almost like... For me, she's like the Taylor Swift of NXT. 141 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Is that she's so generic. 142 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000 It's a case that... 143 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000 Yeah, just... 144 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Oh no, I completely agree with you. 145 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000 I don't think there's enough character development there for Kalani Jordan. 146 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,000 She has some ability, actually to be fair. 147 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000 She has a rather large amount of ability. 148 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000 Just the character is not to be built strong enough. 149 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000 Just very little charisma about her. 150 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Don't see her outside of the same tier three Jaded opponents. 151 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000 We haven't seen her against anyone yet. 152 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000 It's given her an opportunity to show off her ability to make me sit and go, 153 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000 well, I think I've got that one wrong. 154 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,000 Hopefully, by the time we get to the WrestleMania week episode of NXT, 155 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:06,000 I'm sat here going, you know what, really annoyed that we doubted Kalani Jordan 156 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000 when we first started this podcast. 157 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:15,000 I've cacked on her since the first episode, which is NXT New Year's Evil. 158 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000 Yeah, I'm really not feeling much. 159 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000 I did get a fair chunk of notes for this match. 160 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Some pretty nice sort of highlights, so to speak. 161 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,000 I've got the fact that we see Kalani, no, Jaded Parker, 162 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,000 sorry, running the turnbuckles to do a backbreaker off the top rope. 163 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000 We see modified Russian leg sweeps from Kalani Jordan, 164 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:54,000 which ironically, when we say we don't feel much from her character development, 165 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000 did you know Kalani Jordan was the first ever NXT Women's North American champion? 166 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:07,000 Current title holder of that is Stephanie Vaikur as we air this episode. 167 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000 So she has got an ability now. 168 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000 I didn't make note of how long her title reign was. 169 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,000 It's not something I tend to research very often, but yeah, she has held a title. 170 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000 But this match was the first singles match between the two women as well. 171 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:31,000 Bear in mind how long from what we're told by the commentary team they've been together. 172 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,000 It was surprising that this was the first time we saw them go one-on-one. 173 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:46,000 Yeah, I mean, that first time in the ring is always something that we look to look for 174 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000 because it's a case that there's no familiarity there. 175 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 It's all new. 176 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,000 The rest, the superstars in the ring don't know what's coming. 177 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,000 We don't know what's coming, whereas if you've got somebody that's been feuding for a while, 178 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000 it's a case that we know what to expect sort of thing. 179 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:15,000 But just because I am that sort of, I will do that sort of research. 180 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:25,000 You said you didn't have a note of how long Kalani Jordan's inaugural NXT Women's North American championship reign was. 181 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000 It lasted for 140 days. 182 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000 So we're not talking about a small title, are we? 183 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000 No, this is it. 184 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:42,000 And it's a case that she was dethroned by Fallon Henley, 185 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:50,000 who then reigned for a further 111 or 110 days as recognised by WWE. 186 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000 Well, there we go. 187 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000 The man with the plan came up with the stats again. 188 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,000 This is why I love doing it, because I know that I think about it and I'll say it and you'll be like, you know what, mate? 189 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000 You read my mind. It's there. 190 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Yeah, exactly. It's why it works. 191 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000 With that in mind, before we started recording this episode of the podcast, 192 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,000 both myself and Adam, our son, this was belched at the exact same time in the exact same style 193 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000 and just carried on with the silence afterwards. 194 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,000 We hadn't said anything for a moment or two, but yeah, boom. 195 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000 It finished you were the only one that heard it. 196 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:38,000 I didn't actually hear anything come from you or your side, but that's nothing unusual either. 197 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000 This called sound quality is... 198 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Oh, shit. 199 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Yeah, maybe as time goes on, we'll figure out a different way of being able to get this all right. 200 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,000 But for now, at least... 201 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,000 That could be a way forward. 202 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000 Anyway, digress. 203 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000 Yeah, digress there. 204 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:12,000 Right, so the last few spots that I want to throw in there, ironically, are Kalani Jordan spots. 205 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:19,000 So at one point towards the end of the match, Kalani Jordan locked in a crossed-faced chicken wing. 206 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000 The name of that move had me in stitches. 207 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:29,000 I'm not going to lie, just the idea of it at the time was quite funny. 208 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:37,000 We also have Kalani Jordan again hit what I can only describe as the sweetest, 209 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,000 Spanish fly from the top rope or the top turnbuckle. 210 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000 It are. 211 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Chef's kiss on the way that move was choreographed because they sold it so well that both of them, 212 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000 but it was just perfect, absolutely perfect. 213 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:06,000 I'm glad you knew what the name of that move was because I can see it in my mind's eye now that you've mentioned it. 214 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:13,000 And I wanted to make a note of it, but could not for the life of me figure out what the move was called. 215 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,000 And by the time I'd figured out any way to be able to describe what it is that I was looking at, 216 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000 we'd already moved on. 217 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:27,000 So it was kind of a case of I didn't want to sit there for 20 minutes trying to figure out how to describe this move that I'd seen, 218 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000 which was, yeah, completely agree with you. 219 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,000 All my head. 220 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000 Absolutely fantastic. 221 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:40,000 All I heard in my head is that move hit was a good old JR himself. 222 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Oh my God! 223 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000 Oh, living legend that he is. 224 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,000 Yeah, but a rather good BBQ sauce too if you haven't invested in some you should. 225 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,000 I haven't. 226 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,000 I've been meaning to as somebody that prolifically uses BBQ sauce. 227 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,000 I'm ashamed to say that I have not. 228 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,000 Not partook on good old JR's BBQ sauce. 229 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000 I will sort out some at some stage. 230 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,000 It's just... 231 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,000 It's a tad on the experience. 232 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,000 I haven't pulled that trigger yet. 233 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,000 It's worth it. 234 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000 Fair. 235 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000 Fair. 236 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000 Yeah, but... 237 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:23,000 Not sponsored or endorsed, but would quite happily have a conversation about it? 238 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,000 I'd just quite... 239 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000 I'd be more than happy to sit here and have a conversation with JR. 240 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000 Sod the sauce like... 241 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000 I mean it'd come up eventually anyway. 242 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:40,000 But it's a case that, yeah, 100% at one stage or another I will reach out. 243 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000 I know I'll follow him on Twitter. 244 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:52,000 I will reach out and see if he's game to come and have a chat with two British wrestling fans and see what happens from there. 245 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,000 But yeah, that might be something in the works. 246 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:05,000 We ended up with Jada Parker hitting one of her... 247 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:14,000 I don't know if we call it a signature move, it's a move she used quite a lot, but she hit the hypnotic, which is basically just a... 248 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,000 What Jacob Batu does, but not quite as powerful. 249 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000 It's a hip run into the corner really. 250 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:31,000 And then got a clean three count in the middle of the ring on Kalani Jordan again. 251 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Yeah, this is it. 252 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000 Kalani Jordan continues her... 253 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:50,000 Like I said, it was their first singles match, but they have been in tag matches together and they have had finishes as matches at the same time in those environments. 254 00:28:50,000 --> 00:29:00,000 But Kalani Jordan is not on what anybody would refer to as any kind of winning streak just at the moment. 255 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:06,000 No, she's losing just as much as the Island Boys are in legal fees right now. 256 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000 Yeah. 257 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:17,000 So we went from there into a conversation with... 258 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,000 What I've got it down is the DiAngelo family. 259 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:29,000 And there you've got Stax and the young lady's name who I can never remember. 260 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,000 Rizzo. 261 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000 Yeah, that's the one. 262 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:47,000 I should know that from Greece to be fair, but yeah, Stax and Rizzo talking to Tony about how his back is since he had that much against... 263 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:53,000 I had the same issue with this guy last week, his name begins with an H. 264 00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:00,000 I know you're talking about and I can't think of it either. 265 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:10,000 If you go back to the episode of the last PLE that NXT did, you will be able to find out who Tony DiAngelo faced in the Steel Cage. 266 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Before he got his beat down from Sean Spears and his group of cronies, which have started coming into the fray a little bit more. 267 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:32,000 And then we got to see a little bit more about these backstage press conferences that Adam was talking about a little bit earlier. 268 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:46,000 And then we get to see one with Oberfammy talking about his match with Moose and how he's going to represent WWE in the NXT brand on TNA TV. 269 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:58,000 And if he loses that title, it'd be the first time that we'd have a TNA champion running around with WWE Championship. 270 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000 Really not going to let that happen. 271 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:08,000 Obviously this match is coming up next week in Madison Square Gardens when NXT does... 272 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000 I want to say roadblock, but I could be wrong, so I'm not 100% sure. 273 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000 But they are facing off next week in Madison Square Gardens in New York. 274 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:32,000 So being back in the Performance Center this week was just a stop gap between for these guys, a bit of time at home and a bit of time with family while they were travelling around from Cincinnati, Ohio last week. 275 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:52,000 We then end up getting an in-ring promo from the TNA Tag Team Championship holders, which as a long-term WWE fans would know as the Hardy Boyz. 276 00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:02,000 So Matt and Jeff Hardy come out to, as normal when you see Matt and Jeff Hardy, one hell of a pop with the WWE Universe. 277 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:08,000 And they come out talking about how awesome it's been to be able to come across to WWE with NXT. 278 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:14,000 How good their no-quarter catch crew were in their match against them last week. 279 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:24,000 And the fact that no matter where these guys have been within the wrestling industry, trust me over the years these guys have been into many different promotions. 280 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:32,000 We've seen them around the Indie circuits, we've seen them in WWE, we've seen them in TNA, we've seen them in AEW, we've seen them in Ring of Honor. 281 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:38,000 At one point before they returned a few years ago, they were over in the Japan Pro Wrestling. 282 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,000 There was a lot of these guys have held Tag Team Gold in pretty much every promotion they've been to. 283 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:57,000 So for them to come out and give no-quarter catch crew the compliments they were giving them about how good they were, that really does do an awful lot for no-quarter catch crew. 284 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:03,000 Even though they took a last week's episode, they put on a hell of a match against the Hardys. 285 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:16,000 We went into a little bit more detail about that on a previous episode, which you will be able to find on whichever platform it is that you are using. 286 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:25,000 So as the Hardy Boyz are stood in the ring talking about the match they have with Fraxian at Roadblock in Madison Square Gardens, 287 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:36,000 we end up having an unusual combination come out to the ring. Now we had Hank and Tank come down, which is not something I was expecting at all to be fair, 288 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:42,000 but gave it a slight sort of different feel to it. 289 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:52,000 Hank and Tank come down to the ring saying that you guys are the greatest Tag Team in our industry, in the history of our industry. 290 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:59,000 We want to be the greatest Tag Team in the history of our industry. 291 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:05,000 What advice could you give us to help us go to the next level? 292 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:14,000 And there was a few coy little remarks in the response that you got from the Hardy Boyz. 293 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:24,000 You've got to find things that work and you've got to make sure you're hungry and if you're not hungry it's not going to do what you want it to do. 294 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,000 You've really got to be what it is that you're trying to portray. 295 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,000 But sometimes it helps if you take things a little extreme. 296 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:48,000 And there's an exchange between the two about maybe having to feel the need to use such things like tables and ladders and chairs. 297 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:54,000 I made a note of this. TLC growing up for me was one of my favourite PLEs. 298 00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:05,000 I have never had more fun watching wrestling than when it has involved ladders, tables and chairs. 299 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:18,000 Just because you go back through some of the big paper views when we've had these involvements and they've just been absolute phenomenal matches. 300 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:24,000 Even ten years later people go, oh, do you remember that match? 301 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:33,000 I remember seeing clips of a match between the Hardy Boyz, the Dudley Boyz and Edgum Christian. 302 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,000 There was ladders and beers and God knows what going on. 303 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,000 It was an absolute brutal carnage match but it was absolutely phenomenal. 304 00:35:43,000 --> 00:36:01,000 So we then end up with this one. Matt's talking about impossible challenges when we get to see Josh Briggs and Yasuki Inamora come out saying they've come out to break up the Hardy Party. 305 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:06,000 And Hank and Tank need to remove their lips from the Hardy Boyz asses. 306 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,000 They're accusing them a little bit of ass kissing there but to be fair, 307 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:16,000 is looking for advice from someone who's better at what you do? 308 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,000 Ass kissing? Or is it just trying to level up the game? 309 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:25,000 Trying to do something a little bit different to try and get there? 310 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:31,000 I personally, if I had an opportunity to sit and talk to someone say like Joe Rogan about a podcasting, 311 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:38,000 I don't think that's ass kissing. I think trying to learn from the best is the only way you can learn. 312 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,000 Trying to be the best is the best way to learn. 313 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,000 So I think that's fair enough. 314 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:52,000 But Briggs and Inamora basically say that it doesn't matter what advice Matt and Jeff Hardy give them because they're wasting their time and their breath 315 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,000 because Briggs and Inamora are taking the title shot from them. 316 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:11,000 Now I wasn't aware that Hank and Tank had a title shot against Matt and Jeff Hardy so I'm guessing this is more relative of like you're not going to get an opportunity because we're going to be the ones to get there instead. 317 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:17,000 Now this was quite interesting to see and it was a nice little homage to the Hardy Boyz actually. 318 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:27,000 Hank asked Hank if he's thinking about going a little bit extreme. The two of them dive over the top rope and start brawling with Briggs and Inamora. 319 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:40,000 And as he, so you then got Matt and Jeffster in the middle of the ring looking at Briggs and Inamora and then Hank and Tank brawling up the entrance ramp towards the locker room. 320 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:52,000 And Matt suddenly kind of says, ah, Fraxium, I knew you'd come. And as the camera angle turns round to face the Hardy Boyz, it then jumps into that you've got Fraxium behind him. 321 00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:02,000 So you've got Nathan Fraser and Axium who are the current NXT, sorry, tag team title holders. 322 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:20,000 And they basically have a conversation between the two tag teams about are they going to have the greatest, they want to match in Madison Square Gardens and it's going to be the greatest tag team of all time versus the greatest tag team of today. 323 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:40,000 And both teams are basically saying they're going to bring the best they've got. I don't know at the moment if the titles are going to be on the line. It'd be interesting if they are, but I don't think it's been advertised that way as a moment. 324 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:55,000 I think at the minute it is more of an exhibition match than anything else. I don't think they're necessarily putting titles on the line, but I wouldn't quote me on that as I'm not 100% certain. 325 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:13,000 Yeah, no, it definitely didn't mention anything that I remembered about this being a title match. That's definitely feels like an exhibition tag match. But then to be fair, it's something that we've seen on TNA television, or we know has happened on TNA TV. 326 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:21,000 I've not watched it. I don't know if Adam's gone back and watched specific matches just to help with the knowledge out on the podcast. 327 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:38,000 And not on this occasion, I'm afraid. Yeah, no, I didn't think you would have done that. But we do know that Fraxian have faced the Hardy Boys on TNA TV. So this will be the first time we've seen them on WWE programming after this deal. 328 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:51,000 So I don't think they've faced the Hardy Boys. I think they've teased it. This has been teased for a long time is Fraxian facing the Hardy Boys. I don't think they've actually faced off against one another. 329 00:39:51,000 --> 00:40:08,000 I know Fraxian have gone to TNA and defended the NXT Tag Team Championship that they're holding over on TNA against some of TNA's teams. But the Hardy Boys and Fraxian have not faced off as of yet. 330 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:22,000 And this is what makes this such a big match is it's their first time teeing off against one another. And it's the first time we're going to get to sort of answer the question of who's the better tag team. 331 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000 Do you have hiccups, my good sir? 332 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:47,000 I had one hiccup. That was it. It was a lone hiccup. But yeah, we basically went from that promo into I've got down here I've got a VT for the match between the title versus title match. 333 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,000 The title versus title between Stephanie Vacura and Julia. 334 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:59,000 This again is a match at roadblock, champion versus champion title versus title. 335 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:07,000 So what are those women, we're a walk out of Madison Square Gardens holding both bones. 336 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:26,000 Now, I personally can't understand why we're getting this much, but it's something we're getting so we're going to wait in anticipation for how good it's going to be because these two women are phenomenal. 337 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:38,000 Yeah, I mean, we both we, we all know what to expect from Julia in a match we know what to expect from Stephanie Vacura in a match. 338 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:46,000 And me if I'm a betting man I've got a odd feeling that Stephanie Vacura is going to have the edge. Personally, I think that's how it's going to work out. 339 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:56,000 It just, hmm, yeah, it's going to be a close match, but I've got a feeling that that Julia is dropping her title. 340 00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:12,000 It wouldn't necessarily make sense considering how short a time Stephanie Vacura has had that title for her to drop it so quickly, because we end up getting into the we end up getting 341 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:23,000 dangerously close to a period of time in WWE history where title holders would change two or three times nightly. 342 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:39,000 And it just devalues the title doing it that way. But so I think logically, it makes sense that possibly, as I say, Stephanie Vacura is going to end up 343 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:48,000 walking out of that, walking out of that match at a double title holder. 344 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000 First ever NXT double title holder as well. 345 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:59,000 Women's double title holder. It's a big point. They'd be marking it up as a big point in women's wrestling. 346 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:14,000 And then they gave us a BT of the history of women's wrestling in Madison Square Gardens. And they included some boxing bits as well, which was an intriguing one. 347 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:23,000 But I think it was UFC stuff on there for which would be part of the TKO group, which also UFC WWE. 348 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:32,000 Yeah. And then we went from that VT into the second match of the evening. 349 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:43,000 So this would have been the third match of the evening. And this is sort of where this is sort of where things all start to unravel a little bit for NXT here. 350 00:43:43,000 --> 00:44:07,000 Now, I don't know what this was like when they did it live. I managed to find some footage that didn't make the edit, if you like, because we've said before, me and Rich have a tendency to, we won't sit up and watch these live when they go out. 351 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:24,000 So again, mostly because we've got full time commitments that mean that we can't stay up until 3, 4 in the morning watching wrestling and then be able to get up and go about our daily lives without feeling like a bag of shit afterwards. 352 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:35,000 I would have to be at work two hours after that episode finished. And yeah, no thank you. 353 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:53,000 Yeah, just neither of us have got the time and I'm not going to say we're old men here, but we're not quite as young as we used to be where we could have stayed up until that time and bounce back to relatively easily off the back of it. 354 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,000 We just, we're not there anymore. 355 00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:05,000 I've done that in previous years, playing video games where we've kind of gone, dude, my love's gone off. Oh shit, I've got to go to work. 356 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:26,000 This is it, more than one occasion me and him have had where we've got that to go out and do a full day's work, having had no sleep whatsoever. But yeah, no, we don't have it in us to do that anymore, unfortunately. 357 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:39,000 And next, mainly NXT we seem to see this with. They, I'm not sure if it's WWE that edit it together or if it's Netflix or a collaboration of the two. 358 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:51,000 But we seem to have missed out a huge chunk of what goes on in this match. So the next match is a women's singles match between Jordan, Grace and Cora Jade. 359 00:45:51,000 --> 00:46:05,000 This was sort of made earlier on after their, I'm going to say, heated discussion in the, in Ava's office earlier on in the episode. 360 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:29,000 And one of the things that they do point out almost completely unrelated to the, to the match in the ring is the Masha slumovich, the TNA knockouts champion is in attendance in the crowd and is putting camera as being in quite a prominent position of which, which she disappears from shortly afterwards. 361 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:47,000 So she was there purely for to get the face time with the camera. But considering she's got a match against Cora Jade next week as well, you'd expect her to want to get some research done on what she's going into the ring with. 362 00:46:47,000 --> 00:47:04,000 Well, this wasn't particularly very good research from what, from what I, I wouldn't have walked out of there, walked out of NXT thinking, do you know what, actually, I'm a little bit more prepared for, for a match with Cora Jade in a few days time sort of thing. 363 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:32,000 As it's a case that while Jordan Grace sort of held a lot of the momentum for the majority of what little of this match we actually saw, Jade did have a few good bits where she was able to cut that she was able to fly out sort of fight back and actually managed to slam the back of great of Jordan Grace's 364 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:57,000 head into the turnbuckle at one point, but no, it didn't. But that wasn't what sort of cut this match short is that Jordan Grace ends up charging at Cora Jade into a corner, at which point Jordan Grace is pulled off of Cora by the referee. 365 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:10,000 And next thing we know, referees throwing up the X's, which for anybody that doesn't know, and a referee throws up the X's, this is unplanned, it's not something that they have. 366 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:29,000 It's not part of the script for a lack of a better way of putting it. It's a case that this is something that nobody was expecting. And there's normally a real injury that's included with this as well. 367 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:50,000 But we're not given any details as to what happened at all. With some research that I did while watching the episode, it turns out that Cora Jade managed to sustain some kind of head injury during the match. 368 00:48:50,000 --> 00:49:06,000 And because the match is called off, Jordan Grace is declared winner by default. 369 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:21,000 This is what it doesn't make. If I've assumed this is unplanned, because if this is planned, I'm not seeing the payout of doing it this way. 370 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:40,000 And that's the way I've chosen to look at it, because it could very well be that it's planned and there's a payoff for this in a week or two's time. But at the moment, I'm not seeing any potential payoff for this whatsoever. 371 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:54,000 This doesn't seem to make any logical sense. Obviously, we've never been particularly kind about Cora Jade on the podcast before, but it doesn't mean that we don't hope that she's not got anything majorly wrong with her. 372 00:49:54,000 --> 00:50:06,000 I mean, if it is something to do with her knees, I know that's close to where the ACL is, which I know she's had time off for in the past with ACL injuries. 373 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:22,000 So yeah, we're hoping that it's nothing too drastically serious that means that she wouldn't be able to come back and come back and maybe have a more active role in the in the storylines than what she's had so far. 374 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:43,000 Yeah, definitely. So we then went from this into a NXT spotlight about Tony D'Angelo winning the North American title. And there was a little intersection of this about how Sean Spears was basically coming for that title. 375 00:50:43,000 --> 00:51:05,000 We do know from previous episodes that the main event of tonight's episode is a match between the two for the North American title. That was given to us last week when it got a little bit heated between the two teams. 376 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:19,000 Yeah, definitely. And we've got to wait for the main event for that one from there. Now, we went next into... I've dubbed this a split screen interview promo. 377 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:37,000 So something similar to what you'd see on a news program where you're interviewing two different parties in two different places sort of thing. And that certainly seemed to be the case here as we had Ethan Page on the left hand side of the screen and Javon Evans on the right. 378 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:57,000 And yeah, we already had announced that there was a match between the two at roadblock. It was a New York Street fight. I think trying to end whatever animosity is left between the two. 379 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:13,000 I don't think that's going to end in just one big match. I think this is going to continue to brew for a while. They're not just going to kick the shit out of each other once and go, yeah, we're best mates now. Let's form a tag team. 380 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:28,000 This is going to continue. Well, to me, Javon Evans has got plenty of reason to hate Ethan Page. Ethan Page took his final... I was going to say that Ethan Page shattered Evans' jaw. 381 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:40,000 He also shattered it. He didn't break it and shattered it. Because what he's done to him progressively over the course of the last few weeks has pretty much just been curling one out in his cornflakes. 382 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:50,000 Yeah, I've got to admit, I had to wonder where you'd got that from for a second because I was starting to think I must have missed that part of NXT. 383 00:52:50,000 --> 00:53:03,000 But yeah, no, very much so. It's a case that he's... that would be a promo and a half. I don't think it's a promo I'd want to see either. 384 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:14,000 But yeah, it's a case that he's very much been poking fun at him and he's come off with a few victories from him as well. 385 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:23,000 But they weren't necessarily vintzing victories. It wasn't something that he just dominated Javon Evans at any point. 386 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:44,000 Javon Evans has played a blinder of a match only to be either in the wrong place at the wrong time or just really unlucky as that jaw injury plays a part almost every single time. 387 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:59,000 Yeah, well, obviously we know it was a storyline issue. But for a guy whose jaw was wrong, that second match they had where he lost his gum shield, 388 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:19,000 unless you've got absolutely no regard for your own safety, even wrestling against you. Like, the fact that they're still having this series of matches is just going to make it all a lot more interesting. 389 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:25,000 Well, I just like seeing Ethan Page get his ass handed to him on a plate. 390 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:41,000 That's good. Ethan Page has lost a lot of his mystique from this promo because he admits that the entire reason he's done all of this is a severe amount of jealousy, which do you know what I can sort of understand? 391 00:54:41,000 --> 00:55:01,000 Because Ethan Page has worked his entire life and hasn't long been in the WWE. As the WWE is the big leagues, it's where everybody wants to end up when they step between those ropes sort of thing. 392 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:14,000 Whereas, Javon Evans is quite considerably younger than Ethan Page. 393 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,000 Yes. 394 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:20,000 I mean, the guy's 20 years old and he's made it to the big leagues already. 395 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:33,000 Well, that just shows the caliber of talent he is though, which is why when you mix him with someone like Ethan Page, it's going to bring out the best of both of them. 396 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:41,000 Yeah, so Ethan Page is 35 years old. So Javon Evans is 15 years, is junior. 397 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:51,000 That's all right. If he's 35, means I'm still a year younger, but looking to, I'm still a year younger than someone. That's all good. 398 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,000 Yeah, none of this father time bollocks for you. 399 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,000 Yeah, just yeah. 400 00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:12,000 But yeah, they're basically in a no rules match next week, dubbed New York Street Fight as NXT will be coming to us from the Garden for Roadblock. 401 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:24,000 But I'm going to call this as it is supposed to be called, but I'll explain why I've done this in just a second. 402 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:38,000 So the next item on the card was a match, men's singles match between Trick Williams and Kale Dixon, who came to the ring with Uriah Connors as well. 403 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:50,000 And the reason I'm not the reason I'm sort of calling this as it was supposed to be called is because this wasn't just this was the squashiest of squash matches. 404 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,000 I think I've ever seen in my life. 405 00:56:52,000 --> 00:57:03,000 This trick that's squashy, but you could put 20 of them in a packet and sell them for a pound and 29 pence in the local shop. 406 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:13,000 Yeah, very much so. It's, it is a case that this match ended as quickly as it started. 407 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:26,000 But it ended with the perfect trick shot. Well, actually to be fair, the only move we saw in this move in this match was a trick shot. 408 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:34,000 And he tricked Williams hit it clean. 409 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:58,000 Yeah. And after after he's finished sort of demolishing Paul Kale Dixon, he basically uses the at the at the opportunity to call out Eddie Thorpe and challenge him to a definitive match at NXT underground. 410 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:06,000 Now, as a complete NXT rookie still, it is a case that I don't know what underground is. 411 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:18,000 We've seen to think that it might be some kind of PLESC type show potentially in a few weeks sometime between stand and deliver and roadblock. 412 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:24,000 But yeah, not 100% certain what we're going to be seeing with that one. 413 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:30,000 No, you say it's called NXT underground. 414 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:35,000 Yeah. 415 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:40,000 I don't imagine Rich is doing exactly the same thing that I'm doing. 416 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:48,000 And it looks like it's coming up with more of it's a match type rather than a. 417 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:55,000 So, let's see. 418 00:58:55,000 --> 00:59:06,000 It's the March 18th episode of NXT. 419 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:22,000 It was a fight club inspired concept hosted and commented by Shane McMahon. Now I do remember actually something along these lines when NXT sort of first started coming out and Shane and Mac had a run. 420 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,000 And yeah, I didn't think they still did this. 421 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,000 Wow. 422 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,000 We're going to see the money. 423 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,000 I think we may. 424 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,000 I mean, it's an interesting one. 425 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000 I'll wait and see. 426 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,000 I will definitely wait and see with baited breath. 427 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,000 Just to hear the entry music. 428 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,000 Fair would be pretty cool. 429 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:56,000 And so we then end up having 430 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000 an interruption. 431 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:04,000 So it's not like Eddie Thorpe Eddie Thorpe's any sort of crowd interview area. 432 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,000 You know that little top bit you normally see sort of like 433 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000 the crows nest isn't it. 434 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:20,000 It's the medicine platform if you want to call it that busy trick Williams that he's not the man anymore but he still walks around like he is the man. 435 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:36,000 Eddie Thorpe should be the man. So yeah underground they've got that match at the moment we've seen no added stipulations to it as far as I'm aware is literally just a one on one match. 436 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,000 Oh, it's a man on one mano. 437 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,000 None of this strap strap match bollocks. 438 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:51,000 It is a case that these guys are going out there basically to hurt one another in a sanctioned WWE match. 439 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:57,000 And yeah, they'll they'll do what they have whatever the hell they like from that basically. 440 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:19,000 Yeah, we then go backstage to see someone getting the living shit beaten out of them with a chair by Roxanne Perez for the camera to move slightly for it to be revealed that Jordan Grace just got a don't split by a steel chair from Roxanne Perez. 441 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:28,000 And as Roxanne Perez walks off she basically just kind of mutters the phrase welcome to NXT. 442 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:33,000 And then that's kind of the last we see of that for now. 443 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,000 And we then go. 444 01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:41,000 It was like a mini clip wasn't it it was a clip at if you like. 445 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:45,000 But it would if you blinked you'd miss it. 446 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,000 Yeah, pretty much sort of play. 447 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:52,000 We then go back to the time. 448 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:57,000 No, I think that's the start of something. 449 01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,000 Yeah, 100%. 450 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:14,000 We then go back to the press conference area for another roadblock press conference we had over Femi before this time we've got moose. 451 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:25,000 I am I've been enjoying seeing quite a bit moose to be fair like we saw him last week on on the program he's pretty cool dude. 452 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:30,000 He's a football player apparently. 453 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:53,000 Normally I know a reasonable amount about about sort of the American football because I do watch a lot of it. But I have had to have a quick look to say that he played between 2006 to 2012 and he played for the Atlanta Falcons the Indianapolis Colts. 454 01:02:53,000 --> 01:03:10,000 So he would have been a teammate at one point of our homeboy on Monday night Raw's commentary Pat McAfee and the also played for the Los Angeles rounds. 455 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,000 Before he gets about a bit. 456 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:19,000 He definitely makes some man was give you that. 457 01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:29,000 I would try and pronounce his real name, but I have the utmost respect for this gentleman and do not want to butcher it. 458 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,000 But it's not very easy to pronounce. 459 01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:39,000 No, I can't see it and I'm not willing to do it either so yeah we'll leave that at that. 460 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:57,000 But yeah it's a case that moose talks about being a prize fighter and how he's going to basically end over Femi's NXT Championship reign as yeah they're not competing in a winner takes all title versus title match. 461 01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:14,000 It is a case that moose has come in to take that NXT that NXT heavyweight title off over Femi in short order and I'm going to be honest based on what I've seen of moose and what I know of over Femi. 462 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000 It's going to be a difficult match to call. 463 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:26,000 I'm not sure I'm going to be able to reliably call them a winner to that match without being able to or without changing my mind several different times. 464 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:33,000 I can call it and back it up without chatting complete bollocks about something I don't know about so I'm not going to. 465 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,000 Fair enough. 466 01:04:35,000 --> 01:05:04,000 But we're then it's a case that moose is not really feeling doing press conferences by the sound by the looks of things as he is then replaced by Ava at the press conference booth who has who announces a few different matches one of which we won't have mentioned just yet is a rock Sam Perez versus Jordan grace. 467 01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:26,000 Which is where that little clip it sort of plays into things and to end this little segment we see a fatal influence interrupt to ask about Fallon Henley's championship rematch for the North American title is she's quite right in what she says she hasn't had that rematch yet. 468 01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:37,000 What I thought this rematch was is it being written out of title matches because it was just becoming the same old sort of people over and over and over again. 469 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:57,000 So I think they they observe that role as and when they feel it nest that as and when they feel they can get away with it. 470 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:08,000 After a week after a week after a week after a week and yeah it's it's one of those it's it's going to be a case that. 471 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:24,000 I don't think they'll ever write it out completely but there will be a certain element of it's not always observed when it should be sort of thing. 472 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:32,000 So I was trying to tell Fallon Henley that she just needs to she needs to wait and discuss discuss it later. 473 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:42,000 It makes a very big deal of making sure that her opinions are heard in front of the media in which point Ava after telling her several times you know calm down. 474 01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,000 We're going to talk about it in my office. 475 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:52,000 I ever got up and walked out and left Fallon Henley stood there looking like it's white. 476 01:06:52,000 --> 01:07:02,000 Yeah, Fallon Henley was very very sort of wanting to talk about it now Ava was saying look I just want to go and watch the main event. 477 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,000 I don't really want to talk about it right now. 478 01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:09,000 I'm not going to talk about it when I'm ready. 479 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:10,000 Definitely sorry. 480 01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:15,000 I said what a main event it was though it was absolutely phenomenal. 481 01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:20,000 So before we get there however we do have one more bit to mention. 482 01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,000 We do. 483 01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:31,000 A backstage promo with the gentleman who beat Tony D'Angelo up, Rich Holland. 484 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:41,000 Yeah, who seems to come out to to confront and have a few crosswords with the so far overhyped Ricky Saints. 485 01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:45,000 Definitely, definitely overhyped. 486 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:57,000 Yeah, I'm sure we'll get some some pushback on this realistically from Saints fans but it's a case that I'm sorry until you can show me a match. 487 01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:06,000 Put him in a one on one match with someone, anyone and then let me make a decision because so far. 488 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,000 What we saw in that tag match. 489 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:16,000 Yeah, I mean it's not been great at all really. 490 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,000 He didn't get a lot of time to showcase himself in the last match. 491 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:24,000 I'm not sure if they're trying to protect their prize asset or not but. 492 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:37,000 It just feels like he's been like a lot of they've assumed I think that a lot of hardcore fans are going to know who this person is. 493 01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:55,000 And I don't think I would ever class me and riches like hardcore hardcore fans but it's not very often that somebody comes in from another promotion that either me or Rich, at least one of us know something about. 494 01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:59,000 Yeah, no, I mean I get a lot of stuff and social media is from AEW. 495 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:07,000 Don't necessarily watch it but I know I've got a rough idea what's going on over there and who's over there. 496 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:17,000 But yeah, if it pops up I'll see it but yeah, I haven't got a vast knowledge of reasonable knowledge. 497 01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:26,000 But a lot of the time I'd be like, I had to do where is Tony Saints to Ricky Saints be fair. 498 01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,000 I have no idea who Ricky Starks was. 499 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,000 No, and I'm still really non the wiser. 500 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:45,000 I've sort of, I don't want to go back and watch any of his previous work because I want to judge him based on his merit and what he gets to do in WWE. 501 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:54,000 And so far, based on what he's done in NXT, it is a case that I'm just thoroughly underwhelmed. 502 01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,000 Yeah, I know I'm going to blame you. 503 01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,000 I do not blame you. 504 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:02,000 Right, well let's not undermine ourselves for too much longer. 505 01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:10,000 Let's jump into something that on paper is meant to be an absolutely phenomenal match. 506 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,000 This is our main event in the evening. 507 01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:21,000 This was for the North American Championship between the current holder Tony D'Angelo and the challenger, Sean Spears. 508 01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:34,000 This was a combination of, well, it all started really with Sean Spears giving Tony D'Angelo a beat down after his match against Rich Holland at vengeance day in Steel Cage. 509 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:43,000 Well, I think going on, it's been going on, sort of a lot longer. 510 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:55,000 Yeah, it's a case that this was D'Angelo's first match back since that Steel Cage match, if you want to call it that. 511 01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:06,000 It's a case that he's, it's been well documented that he's still suffering with his back because of that, because of what happened in that Steel Cage. 512 01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:15,000 But in fairness, Tony D'Angelo comes out super aggressive and dominant in early doors on this match. 513 01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:20,000 Sean Spears is trying to make him look like a bitch. 514 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,000 Tony D'Angelo is not about that life. 515 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:24,000 No, this is it. 516 01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:35,000 But it's important as well to note that D'Angelo came out with the rest of the D'Angelo family at ringside and Sean Spears came out with, well, 517 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:39,000 their counterparts are supposed to be his family. 518 01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:46,000 I think they're trying to claim they're the next family of NXT or the only family in NXT. 519 01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:51,000 So yeah, family is kind of a loose way of going about it. 520 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,000 Yeah, very much so. 521 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:57,000 But yeah, it's, do you know what? 522 01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:01,000 I didn't, I didn't entirely hate this much. 523 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:18,000 NXT this week was due to the production issues and everything like that, or the perceived production issues from the, from the edit that they put together and then published on Netflix that I then went on to watch. 524 01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:25,000 It, the NXT product this week just wasn't there for me. 525 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:33,000 And so it wasn't there for me. I didn't particularly enjoy what I watched. 526 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,000 This match I enjoyed. 527 01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:40,000 NXT on a whole I think could have been so much better. 528 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:54,000 And it was just, it was that sucking black hole that was the Jordan Grace Corrigate match, then the squash match for Trick Williams, that massive black hole in the card. 529 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:59,000 Just completely sucked the fun out of it all for me. 530 01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:05,000 But this match was actually a nice reprieve. 531 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:13,000 It sort of tried, it went as far as it could to try and redeem, redeem back what we'd seen. 532 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:31,000 But it just wasn't, it wasn't enough to redeem and it wasn't enough to cover the bar that we'd had through the production issues. 533 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:36,000 I mean, we did have a pretty good match for our main event though. 534 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,000 I couldn't sit here and lie to you and tell you it was a bad match. 535 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:45,000 It really wasn't, but it wasn't Dave Meltzer has not given it five stars anytime soon. 536 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:51,000 But we, we did get to see, you know, a couple of high risk spots. 537 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:57,000 We got to see Sean Spears hit quite nice spear ironically. 538 01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:06,000 We also got to see him lock in the camel clutch at one point on turning the Angelo trying to go for the weekend back. 539 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:12,000 Which is still sore from his still cage match. 540 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:23,000 Yeah, I mean, all of Spears' offence was focused on that lower back of the Angelo, which I mean, is the smart play realistically. 541 01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:30,000 Whether you're faced with an opponent that you could beat easily or whether you're faced with an opponent that could beat you easily. 542 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:38,000 Or somewhere in between that it is a case that you look to take any and every advantage that you possibly can. 543 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:45,000 If you're not doing that, then you're not doing right by yourself or anybody else for that matter. 544 01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:48,000 Yeah, no, exactly. 545 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:58,000 But yeah, it is a case that I've, yeah, most of, most of what you've said is what I picked out of this match. 546 01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:05,000 Anything we haven't mentioned is the ending of the match where there is. 547 01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:13,000 So Sean Spears has got turning the Angelo and a sharpshooter. Is he dame into fears? 548 01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:23,000 And I didn't quite catch how she interfered because I was still writing the previous note, but I know that all hell won't loose after this. 549 01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:29,000 The referee was very, very... 550 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:34,000 So Spears did have the Angelo in a sharpshooter. 551 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:47,000 The Angelo manages to power out of the sharpshooter and goes to, and hits his finishing move, the forget about it. 552 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:58,000 And goes for a pin at which time. Is he dame? Just seems to grab hold of Sean Spears' foot. 553 01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,000 Right. 554 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:09,000 And I've got a feeling that the intention behind it was to literally put his foot on the rope to break the can. 555 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,000 Yes. 556 01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:15,000 But Sean Spears ends up kicking out of it regardless. 557 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:28,000 So I'm really not sure what it is that they tried to accomplish with that, or if they may have been so far out of position to be able to accomplish what it was that they were trying to do. 558 01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:34,000 That they then had to sort of make it up on the fly a little bit. 559 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:40,000 Oh, if you're almost dame in the case of shit were too close. What d'you mean by too close? Lift your leg up. 560 01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,000 I think it's got more to do with... 561 01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:46,000 I think it's got more to do with it was too far away. 562 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:47,000 Good job. 563 01:16:47,000 --> 01:17:00,000 It was too mid-ring to be able to... without easy dame having to have the strength within it to pull not just Sean Spears by his foot, 564 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:12,000 but also to have pulled Tony DiAngelo with it would have just been too much there for it to happen. 565 01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:17,000 So it was a case that they couldn't get good enough purchase on the bottom rope to break the can. 566 01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:21,000 And Sean Spears had to kick out. 567 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:33,000 So he's still triggering the two-cown, but easy dame trying to help seems to have triggered a brawl which was going to have had to have happened anyway 568 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:40,000 as Rizzo comes flying in, Thers Press and just beats the living hell out of easy dame, 569 01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:44,000 which I think this tension has been building for such a long time, 570 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:52,000 especially since that betrayal by dame during that cage match. 571 01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:59,000 It's a case that it's just built and built and this was letting some of that pressure off. 572 01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,000 It was that pressure release valve. 573 01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:07,000 It certainly was and there was definitely a lot of pressure to be released. 574 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:15,000 But I think they gave it the best they could and we definitely did see towards the end of this match 575 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:23,000 so that Tony DiAngelo is definitely still not 100% back to his normal self because he was brokeling. 576 01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,000 He was gassed. 577 01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:31,000 It's a case that during the brawl, the underboss ends up in the ring. 578 01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:35,000 Spears takes advantage of the fact that he's there, shoves him into DiAngelo, 579 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:39,000 who at that point is stood on the outside of the ring on the apron, 580 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:47,000 who basically falls back first onto a chair, which was originally bought out by Izzy Dame anyway. 581 01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:58,000 Spears comes out, drags the champ back into the ring, hits the C4 but only manages to get a 2 count. 582 01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:04,000 Spears only gets the win after Tony DiAngelo tries going for like a spade. 583 01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:11,000 He's been for like a spine buster of some kind but is back at that point, just completely gives out. 584 01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:17,000 Spears basically folds DiAngelo in half to get the pin count 585 01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:23,000 and we have a new North American champion in Sean Spears. 586 01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:28,000 That we do, which is something we've been looking at for a little while. 587 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:35,000 It makes me think maybe Tony DiAngelo may have dropped that one due to get some extra work done on his back 588 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,000 to try and make life a bit easier for him in the future. 589 01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,000 Yeah, quite possibly. 590 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:45,000 It could just be a massive coincidence. 591 01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:48,000 It's not outside the realms of possibility to make. 592 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:55,000 So yeah, Sean Spears reverses the spine buster for a 3 count to win himself a title. 593 01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:01,000 And that North American title was pretty, that red band is just, it fits it nicely, doesn't it? 594 01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,000 Yeah, very much so. Very much so. 595 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:17,000 And yeah, I don't think we've heard the last of this little family feud between the DiAngelo family and Sean Spears is whatever it is that he's calling them. 596 01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:22,000 That's just hoping they don't bring Steve Harvey in for a guest appearance. 597 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,000 Family feud? 598 01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:26,000 Yeah. 599 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,000 Oh, well, it could end up there. 600 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:32,000 It wouldn't be the first time that WWE's ended up on Family Feud. 601 01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:36,000 Yeah, we've come to the end of a map. 602 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:42,000 This was a, because of production issues and the way that it was all edited together, 603 01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:49,000 the entire episode of NXT this week, when you go back and listen, instead of watching it live, watch the edited version, 604 01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:53,000 it comes to just over an hour. 605 01:20:53,000 --> 01:21:04,000 And I've got a feeling that with this podcast episode is actually longer than the episode of NXT that's currently circulating on Netflix at the moment. 606 01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:08,000 It is. You are correct. 607 01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:13,000 But yeah, I've run out of notes for NXT at least. 608 01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,000 I have too, to be fair. 609 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:22,000 Yeah, so thank you all for listening. The next time we will be dropping an episode, it will be, 610 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:33,000 NXT does SmackDown, where we will start to see a little bit more of the fallout from Elimination Chamber, I think, 611 01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:38,000 because yeah, there's some heated bits coming our way. 612 01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:43,000 And we'll be there to break down every last morsel. 613 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,000 For your entertainment. 614 01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:50,000 But yeah, I will see you Adam on finishes and factions does SmackDown. 615 01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,000 Thank you for joining me. 616 01:21:52,000 --> 01:22:14,000 Look forward to it buddy.
