Hello and thank you so much for joining us for your Smackdown Post Show for Friday, January 17th.

0:18.6

We've got another three-hour Smackdown to talk about. Allegedly,

0:22.1

that'll stop around May or June that will be back to two hours. But I got to say, I think

0:27.2

tonight was definitely a better pace. But we're going to get into all of that. Thanks for

0:33.6

tuning in. I'm joined, as always, by the wonderful Alex Cardoza. How are you, Mr. Cardo? I'm happy. I'm here. I'm so excited to be your resident Puerto Rican co-host here at a Feinful. What a, it was, it wasn't a bad show. It wasn't a bad show. I still don't enjoy the three hours. And like you mentioned, we're hoping that that two hour mark

0:55.0

hits sooner than later. Yeah, I'm that way about every wrestling show. Like, I don't think any

1:00.5

wrestling show needs to be three hours. That isn't a special or a pay-per-view, PLE, whatever.

1:05.6

It's just not, it's just not ideal, man. It's just not ideal. But definitely a better pace than this week than last week. I felt like the through lines had a lot more clarity around it. But we're going to talk about all of that and more. We're going to ask you to get in your super chats and get in your Humberchats at Humberchets.com. They function just like super chats. But we get to keep a little bit more of the money when you go there.

1:28.3

We get to we get to keep a little bit more of the pie than YouTube gives us.

1:32.7

So we appreciate when to use the Humper Chat interface.

1:36.0

We're also going to remind you that this weekend we have the Fightful Awards this Sunday at 6 o'clock p.m. Eastern.

1:42.3

So excited for those, tune in to find out who won. They are

1:45.7

fan voted. So when everybody complains on the internet about Fightful being a homer for whatever

1:50.2

promotion, know that they are fan voted. But I will say from what I saw in the voting, I haven't

1:57.4

seen the final votes yet. But when I was looking at what was close and

2:01.9

what was not, it's a pretty good mix. And even stardom was in the mix this year, which I don't think

2:06.4

has won any awards in the past, which is always great when there's more promotions mixed up

2:11.4

in all of this. So much to subscribe to fightful select.com about two. We saw Megan Bain showing up in the casino gauntlet. It was reported by Fightful Select.com. About two, we saw Megan Bain showing up in the casino

2:19.5

gauntlet. It was reported by Fightful Select that she was backstage. You had the rundown for
