0:07.4 | You're listening to Motley Full Money. |
0:13.6 | I'm Ricky Mulvey, joined today by Nick Seippled. |
0:16.5 | Nick, I got a different level of excitement in my voice because we are now a Monday Night Raw recap show here on Motley Full Money. Appreciate you being here. |
0:25.7 | Great to be here with you, Rick. And we've got lots of friends in the industry on YouTube and other other platforms. |
0:31.6 | Happy to join the international wrestling community. |
0:34.6 | So last night, the former heavyweight champion of cable made its streaming premiere. |
0:39.4 | Monday Night, Rob, moved to Netflix. We've known about this for about a year now, but last night |
