0:27.5

We're coming up on the on the end of the year on the new year so we have a couple of questions here from friendos regarding that but first up here's a question from Christian regarding the McMahon shake up the shake up.

0:44.8

Let's hear a question I just say hey friendos into the hall of famed Christian here back when I'm at check questions sorry I missed you guys last week.

0:54.8

Life's crazy home it's just really crazy right now but my question you guys is is what is your favorite of all of the new changes that have been made to smack down on the wall.

1:14.4

Mine is definitely most of the I.L.E. being a smack down like Ross and putting the champ on his first night that's just freaking awesome that's how you make a new star.

1:26.8

Come and day every isn't really great at what do watch you guys are too sweet already answered thanks.

1:33.7

Thank you Christian thank you Christian you're you're doing stuff there I'll go first favorite change to Ross Mac that's got to be the call up.

1:41.7

And immediate push to the top of Mustafa Ali it's good one he's already probably my favorite competitor in all two of five live he was the most well-rounded.

1:51.7

A competitor on that show great wrestler great on the mic great seller awesome with character work.

1:59.0

His backstory is amazing.

2:01.3

He he has it all to be a huge baby face on the main roster what you're saying is he has the ingredients.

2:10.4

And so long as they just push him and and and highlight his strengths which are abundant.

2:20.4

He's going to go far he's great in the ring he'll hold while people strictly or even with just his wrestling ability put him on the mic he's great haven't shoot from that pre-film stuff he was putting on Twitter which was exceptional.

2:33.4

Yeah yeah as they keep him they keep push him he's going to go he's going to go places.

2:39.4

Let me see this though.

2:42.4

Mustafa Ali was a coincidental that he arrived a week before the shakeup went down.

2:49.4

Because I wonder if he was if that just if if if he was actually part of McMahon's sort of changing plans for the shakeup because he showed up a week before or if it was if it was the case where they were planning on doing something with him on the main roster I don't know.

3:06.4

Probably never know it doesn't really matter at least we want until most were talks about next news letter that's a really good answer Mustafa Ali my personal favorite change.

3:16.4

Kind of kind of involves a little bit of Mustafa Ali and that's Mustafa Ali is a wrestler who if you just let the man go out there and do his job if you just go out there and let him wrestle then you're going to you're going to bring in people that that's a bottom line it's one thing we learned in 2018 in total with when it as it pertains to wrestling outside W to be if the wrestling is really good people are going to do it.

3:35.4

Yeah and so my favorite change to raw or smack down or the entire main roster brand can be found in that fantastic Christmas Eve match between Bobby Rude and Chad Gable and the revival that was the first time you mentioned this that we really have been able to see on main roster with the revival what we saw in NXT I think they've been sort of uses as a perfect example of what was wrong.

4:04.4

With how things were being done before and if that's any indication it's not going to be something that's limited to the revival it's something it's it's sort of a change in wrestling philosophy for how they're presenting it on their show go out there enough with the the Pepe stuff go out there let these guys wrestle that's what they do best and the revival is just the perfect example of that so yeah I just want to see these guys tell some great wrestling stories in the ring it's going to be a great deal of the way to do it.
