getting those in-demand skills employers are looking for isn't so far away.

0:22.2

Search the Open University to find out more. The Open University, the future is open. No business leader wakes up thinking,

0:33.1

gee, I hope I can make some huge trade-offs today. And yet that's exactly what most security solutions ask of you.

0:39.3

Trade speed for safety, user experience for control.

0:42.7

Trade keeping things simple for keeping them secure.

0:45.9

Not so with OCTA.

0:48.0

Octa gives you a unified solution to protect identity.

0:51.2

No friction, no frustration, no compromises.

0:56.5

Security that's a launch pad instead of a limiter, it's possible. It's Octor. So the first ever WW paid for you on ESPN is in the books.

1:06.2

Just in case you haven't seen any of the other videos this week. I am in a strange hotel room in

1:10.7

Canada. It's not strange, but I am doing a mini wrestling tour. I also went to All Out so you can check out my ups and downs to them later today on the channel. But even though it's 4.40 a.m. in the morning. I hate WWW running these competitive shows. I have just seen wrestlepleuser. You know the deal, have a finger of power, it's time

to give the good bits and up, shouldn't have done that, the bad bits are down.

1:34.0

So I suppose the first surprise we did see is that Pat McAfee was back for this show for a little

1:38.6

while, did he decided to leave for one reason, but opening match was John Sina versus Brock Lesnar,

1:43.6

and I could be totally wrong here, but this felt like an homage to Somerslam 2014, arguably one of the most historic, why I suppose famous matches in WW history, because there, Brock Lesnar, after defeating the streak, absolutely destroyed John Sina. And you want to know why it worked so well, Sina himself summed up so well when he did interviews about this, it's because somebody came up to him and said, it's not your night, kid, because it was tied to put the shine on one Brock Lesnar. Well, we jump forward to September 2025, and do you know whose night it shouldn't have been kid? Brock Lesnar. I think that made sense. Very tight. because one nobody right now i don't think wants to see John Sina lose, especially because he is doing his retirement tour, and it only just turned back baby face, but also essentially copying what we did do 11 years ago, I kind of think it's flubbed up the legacy, because this should have been the other way around. If anything, it should have been John Sina, whooping bot lessons ass, and going, ha ha, I've finally got my revenge because that would have made us feel warm, warm and fuzzy in our tum-tum. Also, Brock just absolutely whipped his ass here. He punched him, he turned to suplexity, put him in like a chokehold for a little bit. When of course, John Sine hit at AA and Brock Lesnar kicked out. I'm getting so boreders, not being finishers, when Brock essentially went F5, F5, F5, F5,

are you trying to refresh the page on your computer screen and he just pinned him.

3:00.8

I kind of looked around my room going, am I hallucinating now because they haven't had enough

3:04.5

sleep because, listen, I'll always be honest with you and more powered to you if you like it, I didn't think it was very good at all. It just felt like we went back to a place where we didn't need to go to, because right now, at least my heart, is focused on Johnny Boy, I'm not really into Brock Lesnar, especially because his story has been, come back at SummerSlam, vanish, come back at Smackdown, vanish, and he's been so stupid, even though we all know John Cedar's move to Raw,
