So it's basically Groundhog Day at the start of this week's episode of Rourke's,

0:03.0

Anna Piss was like, I told you, Roman Rains, I should have fired Jacob and two,

0:06.2

and Romans like, no, you can't fire him, I must beat his ass. The same thing happened from seven days ago, and apis, you need to be careful, because Roman Rains may ask for your house keys soon. You're like, I don't want to give up my house. and you give Roman the keys

0:19.4

you got to be listed Roman

0:20.4

remember to Hoover the carpets

0:21.5

Also all my friends

0:22.4

and one to whops and downs

0:23.4

the only resting of you show you don't want to give up my house. And you give Roman the keys. You got to listen, Roman, remember to Hoover the carpets. Also, all my friends, the one-to-ops and downs. The only

0:24.0

wrestling-view show you need. It's a pleasure to see you again, although I don't really see you. And really, you don't really see me. Well, no, you do see me. I don't see you. I don't we're talking about. It's just a wrestling of you show and we go through everything from Monday Night

0:36.1

Raw and we decide what is worthy of it up and what is worthy of a down. And of course the big

0:39.8

Jack today is going to be Brockers Lesner, but we'll get to it. Let's up those doubts. Don't you for two months have heard all this as well because he just walked to the ring. He was like, oh man, I don't care about you Roman Reigns and screw this place when the Uso's came out, which really is just a copy and paste job.

0:55.9

And Jimmy was like, why are you doing this? Now you're going to get fired. And Jay was like, screw the talk and I'm going to beat him up. And what did Jacob Fatoo do? He ran both of these dudes down. So you do have to give props to W.W.E. The way they are booking Jacob II is brilliant. we should all search this in our real lives, treat somebody or get someone to treat you, like WWE treats Jacob for 2. And that kind of rhymes, so it may be true. Roman then did arrive and these two guys looked at each other, which means it was super serious. Even when Rome was going to hit him with his big move, Jacob 2 got the Tongan death grip when the Uso's came back. They laid out Jacob with the 1D and even then he got up. That's like, man, once again, I need this kind of treatment in my life. Eventually the numbers game was too much though and they did time in the ropes and just whip his ass. And basically because he was dead mad walking, they then left and Adam Pierce was like, oh man, it's my time to shine. He was going to fire Jacob and two. Oh my gosh, how I laughed because I'm an imbecile. Jacob and two got microphone and said, no, tribal combat, which apparently to Roman Reigns is some kind of, I don't know, sanctity of the family nonsense because he has to accept tribal combat. So if I was anybody now, if you find yourself in a bad situation and someone says, I would call him Dean, Dean wallpaper, Dean wallpaper, I accuse you of murder and you're going to jail, all you have to do is get a migrant tribal combat. Roman Rains walks out going, oh, for goodness sake. And yes, I know it ties into the bloodline, all of that nonsense, and I will say this. I'm a bit worried this stuff is becoming, well, we'll just do what we did seven days ago. But the use of Jacobo 2 is so damn good. I can't help but enjoy it. Although we are intrigued about this match. It's going down in Italy, a clash in Italy. Jacob 2 can't lose. You can't lose in the normal singles match and then losing the stipulation match that you called on, but that would make Jacob and 2 the champion, and it just does not feel like that's in the cards right now, but I guess it does make for an intriguing matchup. Now, I still think WWE is going to have to change this stuff just a little bit, because it does feel like we've gone back to 2003. However, I am giving it an up just because this Jacob 2 man, what an absolute badass. Also, he's taught us a wonderful lesson. The next time you're in trouble, remember these two words. Tribal combat is like some kind of PSA that could teach in schools. When we had a street fight between J.D. McDonnor and Finn Baller, which I am now going to dub the Benjamin Button feud, because we're doing this in reverse, but hey, they had their big blow-off match where they hit each other with chairs and kendo sticks, and they threw each other through tables. Finn Baller did win, so now we really have to draw a line under it. Of course, as soon as Finn Baller was going to win, although he did miss the first coup de grace, I told you he always does that, but Mysterio ran down, and I was a bit like, why is Anna Piss so damn mad at Jacob for two, but he does not give a flub, but the judgment day get involved in every single match. That's that kind of weird wrestling thing that we do sometimes, but eventually, this made me laugh too. Actually, there was a good near-fall when, what did he do? I think JD Macdonough threw Finn

3:41.1

down through a table for a one-two when Dom was going to give the 619 to Finn and he just held J.D. McDonough there. Dominic had a good two seconds to stop. He's like, listen, I've been told to do this. He wagged JD Macdonner in the face. Finn Ballagher hit the coop de Grare. He got the one, two, three, and once again, Finn Bella is brilliant. J.D. McDonner is probably underrated. We all like

3:59.6

Dominant Mysterio, Finn Balar is brilliant.

3:59.1

J.D. McDonner is probably underrated.

4:01.9

We all like Dominant Mysterio, but we have to move on.

4:09.6

You just had the big old, oh my gosh, we're going to do a street fight match, and they went into the crown, and J.D. got thrown into a box-like structures. There's nothing else to do.

4:12.7

I just think we need a bit of fresh blurred and raw at the moment.

4:15.2

So I am going to give it enough because they work their ass off.

4:15.2

But once again, if you somehow get another match out of this, I just think we need a bit of fresh blurred and raw at the moment. So I am going to give it and up because they work their ass off.

4:30.7

But once again, if you somehow get another match out of this, well, you can't. It's done. It's over. They're still great. And then laughed again because Kathy Kelly was interviewing Seth Rollins and he was like, oh my gosh, Caddy. I have no allies. I was like, you mother flubber, the street profits have come out and helped you every single week.

4:33.9

I know you keep falling out with them, but they seem to come out and assist you.
