Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk podcast.

Do not adjust your monitors or little fancy tiny airpods in your ear lobes that are going to create a lot of dry skin and wax and get all over the case and man I need to clean mine.

Because it's Oli Davis on the Saturday Smackdown show filling in for my master Chubby Peek and L and I'm joined by that bitch, Tempest.

That's me back on the wrong side of the screen again.

If you want me to switch. No, it's fine. I feel like I need to get over this, but it's a real cognitive dissonance thing.

You know, maybe, maybe it's better because now I'm looking more in the center of the screen to look at your half and that's closer to the camera.

So it looks more like I'm looking into the camera. So maybe, maybe it's a good thing. It's just something I need to get used to.

I just look at myself when I do the streams. I found it when I started doing in person ones with Luke again. I was like, ah, this isn't my face.

I'm not talking to my own face anymore. This is hard. Luke's not as engaging.

As my own face. I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know. This is all. This is the only way that I've ever known podcasting.

So this is the last of our little run of podcasts because Luke is back now.

A W Dynamite will be back on Thursdays after tonight's episode and goddamn, I'm excited for tonight's episode after this episode of rampage.

They took a match that I was, you know, black versus Cody, lot of build was already into it.

But I guess it hasn't had many installments apart from I'm going complete Gran Turino on Cody's ass.

But I want, I want aren't to be cast in at least one Clint Eastwood film now. Yes, this one.

And yeah, I'm really, really excited for tonight's episode of Dynamite like I would be a pay-per-view match.

Wow. Yeah, I've, I've always been into the Cody and Malachai Black feud and everything that they've got going on just because I seem to be a much bigger Cody fan than most people these days.

This episode of rampage made me that much more excited to see it and made me feel so happy for him and for the company that they were able to get the reaction that they wanted.

Even if it's just for the night, you know, I was just like, yeah, they got them.

Because it, it's felt like that awkward frustrating kind of give and take tug of war thing with Cody.

And I don't want to see that within AEW too much. It feels kind of like a WWE thing where it's, it's the difference between what the fans want, the company wants.

And on this night, everything lined up. I thought it was very nice.
