| 0:00.0 | So we need more rules for wrestlers. |
| 0:02.0 | Because at the start of this week's episode of Monday Night Raw from France in Paris, other way around Paris in France, C.M. Punk was just staring outside the arena, because he was going to whoopped Seth Roling his ass, and appears the general manager turned up and said, maybe you should wait inside. And Punk said, no. And Adam Pierce went, all right, there's nothing I. And he walked off. I think CM Punk even said it's on site, meaning when he sees Seth Rollins, he was going to beat him up. If you try and do that in real life, your ass gun to jam. Also, like my friends, one whoops and downs, the only wrestling of you show you need because I watch sports entertainment so you don't have to or you can choose |
| 0:38.0 | option B when you do watch wrestling and you come yell at me and say Simon you don't know what |
| 0:43.2 | you're talking about that is true also hello mum and dad let's give the good bits and up and the bad |
| 0:48.2 | bits are down for the roar after clash and parry jiu so then made his way to the ring and get this |
| 0:53.7 | he was so mad he didn't want to do his entrance twice, because of course his poor cousin Roman Reigns is now in a local medical facility. That is like me coming on here and saying, I don't want to say warm and fuzzy in my tum-tum. Believe you me, if it does happen, something bad has gone down. It also made me laugh because he was all like the vision, don't understand, you don't mess with family, |
| 1:13.6 | which was essentially what the entire bloodline story love was all about, but don't worry about it. |
| 1:18.6 | When LA Knight came out, so he must have misheard. |
| 1:20.6 | He was like, listen to me, Jay Uso, I should be the world champion right now. |
| 1:24.6 | I was hitting people with BFTs all over the place. And do you know who broke it up? You, Jay Uso. So now I'm really mad because you did exactly what you should have done in a four-way match. I mean, LA might as well have gone. You should have let me win. Jay U. should have been like, I'm sorry, Mr. L.A. Knight. Thankfully, he didn't. He just said yeat. He does do that a lot. He then talked about the fact that Jay lives in Roman Rains' shadow, much like Seth Rollins lives in his wife's shadow. That's when I was like, wait a minute, Becky Lynch is one of the most successful wrestlers of the modern era. I don't think that's a problem. And everybody treats Roman Rains like flipping Superman Father Christmas Santa Claus is coming to the ring. If I was Jayousar, I'd just gone, yeah, I mean, what do you want me to do? Them's the bricks. There's certainly look like these two were going to fight or at least we teased that maybe we'll do a few down the line. But of course, instead out came Brom Breaker and Bronson Reed. They were like, ha ha ha, ha, we did put Roman |
| 2:18.6 | Raines in the hospital and you know what? We're going to do the same to you as well. We're going to put him right next to you or vice versa. Now, one, I don't think that's how hospital's work. I don't think you turn up and they say, oh, would you like a bed next to your lovely cousin? That That would be so nice, and also two, but one on the crime counter, you are not allowed to walk around telling people, you're going to put them in the hospital. Bronson then threatened them as well because they're not part of the vision. And if you want to be in the vision and in wrestling, you need to be a part of the vision or something like that. Well, of course, they all challenge each other to a tag team match. This is what WWE does every single week. But we didn't send Anna Piss out there and instead in the magical ether it was decided upon. Now I will say the opening of Raw is starting to fall a little bit into a pattern, but at least here we got four brand new guys who don't often do it, so I will give it an up. I'm going to set on the download. I'm really bored of seeing an opening promo, |
| 3:10.3 | the ends of the main event tag team match, |
| 3:12.3 | but I'm going to let it slide for now, because why not? |
| 3:15.3 | We then pretended that Oscar Eoski and Kyrie Sane are back on the same page, |
| 3:18.3 | and if you believe this segment, when they seem to be buddies again, |
| 3:21.3 | please send me an email, because I have a wonderful Ponzi scheme to sell you when it was time for the Kabuki Warriors to have a tag team match and this tied in because I was like, well maybe I can come to the ring with you and also said no, we're doing it ourselves. They were facing Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez who have become a very good tag team by the way. And I just enjoyed this. Right now the women's tag team scene is something that I do go out by way to see. I would just rather we didn't do silly things that we did on Smacker Down, but don't worry about it. And once we are done with the E.O. Sky stuff, I would imagine it will be the Kabuki Warriors, taking on Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, and that should be some good eating. Then Roxanne Prez got in the Macari Seine. They were doing like Matrix stuff. |
| 3:41.1 | So Oscar boot her in the face. Alexa Bliss and that should be some good eating. Then Roxanne Prez got into Macari Seine. |
| 3:58.2 | They were doing like Matrix stuff so Oscar boot her in the face. She didn't do this. |
| 4:02.6 | We also got people being thrown into Barry Barracade and I tell you when Oscar did get the hot |
| 4:06.3 | tag. She just ran wild and obviously she will be going proper hill soon, which is why we should |
| 4:11.6 | enjoy her baby face run while she can. Speaking about performers of the modern day, Oscar is probably top five. I mean, who better than her? And also who's ready? Brooks and Presley reversed the Oscar lock for the one, two. When Kyrie's saying remembered she was a pirate, so drop the insane elbow onto Raquel Rodriguez, who was on the outside. When Oscar decided, you know what, my finisher is pretty good, she locked it on, and Roxy tapped out. How great was this too? Because we had a winner, we had a loser. They just had a competitive match. And now I'm not like, oh my gosh, we're killing Roxanne are really crappy. No, it just wasn't their day on this evening. That's how you build the storyline. Obviously, don't worry. The dick board, distraction, interference and confusion will be making an appearance later, but I'm giving it up. We should do more of this. It was just a well-thought competitive match. And yes, the finish was a little bit wibbly jibbly. I think there was some miscommunication in there. But let's start embracing the mistake. Embrace the mistake. It's like how you say it with your mouth. Embrace the mistake. I don't know what we're doing. And then, yes, I'm going to throw it down in there and I'm being a bit of a stickler here. I actually think you'll disagree with me. But Adam Pearce just turned up and said, well, you know, given the women's championship, is up for grabs. Stephanie the care, who was the number one contender will be taking on Eoske, who of course was going to face Naomi on the episode of Raw and they shall fight at wrestle ploosa. So while you can argue this, and I understand that it does make sense, I just thought we could have had way more fun, which is just one of my tiny issues with WW at the moment. Sometimes they take the easiest path when you could sit down and cook up some eggs. And listen, that match is going to be absolutely great. And it's definitely the care wins it fine. If E.O. Sky wins it. That's fine too. But I don't know. It just felt like we could have, even if we had done like a tournament man and the winner face definitely the care. At least then when they had had the match it would just feel like it was a bigger deal. So I'm giving her down. Doesn't deserve a down. It's got one now. There's nothing we can do about it. Pump was then still waiting with Seth Rollins because apparently he can do whatever he wants when we did get Finn Baller versus Dragon Lee. I do not know what it's going on with the raw tag team titles. It's so confusing. And on this show, the New Day even did a skit where they said, man, the tag team division is totally dead. And that was very funny. But I am going to give it a down. And I shall continue to give it a down until we basically just do what we're doing with Smackdown. Now, actually, given how this raw ends, there is a glimmer of hope. |
| 6:29.3 | I would put Andrade and Phoenix on Raw too. |
