Full transcript with timestamps

0:01 Well, nevertheless, uh then again we had the Lollipop Guild back together again. Apparently, old Kevin Knight and Hong Kong Fooy had been viciously attacked in the back and they weren't medically cleared. So, old jungle jackoff didn't have partners for the six-man tag with Ricochet and his two stooges. But then suddenly out came the Hardley boys. And now we've got again the three friends from California playing with the, you know, the other flippy guy that they like and his two stooges that are just happy to be there.

0:47 And I Brian, I know you'll find this hard to believe. Well, not you cuz you saw it, but they started the match with a six-way on the floor and a bunch of flips. And I said, "Well, let's see how long it takes me to fast forward through this. It's the same thing. It's always the same thing." So, after about 15 minutes, the the kids won. And then I know these baby faces don't know how to get over themselves, but it seems like somebody would be able to catch him and stop him from but but who knew they would the idiots. They win the match and then they they kneel down and and especially that a closeup on old jungle Jack. He kneels down and leans over the second rope to talk into the camera so that the other guy, the new heel, Jake Doyle, has made his debut.

1:46 Get out of the way for old Jake Doyle. He's got a big old fat boil right on his neck and it's about to pop. Old Jake. Anyway, his partner is now fat ass Davis and they came in the ring and and they jump the [ __ ] baby, but they're having to kick Jungle Jack from behind while he's leaned over the rope. They didn't even stand up where they could get glommed from behind and be ready to feed or take a bump or do something. They're just and they got sloppy lackluster heat in quotation marks. And there was another one of the masked guys that he's got, Callus, and some of the miscellaneous heels are out there.

2:31 And they kick [ __ ] out of these guys for a couple seconds. And then here comes again Spitball Bailey and Kevin Knight with parts of their bodies wrapped up. And one of them's got a hockey stick and the other one has what was that? A barbed wire wrapped [ __ ] Cricut bat or whatever. And they try to make A SAVE, BUT THE LIGHTS GO OUT. And by the way, that's going to be a problem later on in the evening. But this apparently they can turn all of them out and all of them back on, but they can't turn Well, you've heard that old saying, Brian, you can turn some of the lights on some of the time and some of the lights on all of the time, but you can't turn all the lights on all the time or something like that.

3:21 It's dark forever. Lights come back on. There's a guy wearing a mask and a suit in the ring and he starts beating up the baby faces and Sockface is so I don't even know what the word is. so anxious, so eager to reveal this that he told people it was Andre before Andred took the mask off and revealed it was Andre. And I know that somebody will say probably Sockface, well, I know the guy and I've seen him dressed in that and I knew it was that that's where you [ __ ] number one, if they had the proper layout of the segment, the guy lights would have come on the you would have seen the guy and he'd have done boom boom in 10 seconds and laid two people out with two moves and then you could have said it. But that's where you [ __ ] stretch a little bit and go, "Wait a minute. I I think I know who THAT IS, BUT IT CAN'T BE. HE can't be here now. Why?" And just [ __ ] But anyway, he spoiled the the hood

4:37 being popped. Then he popped the hood. We already knew who it was. Another member of the Don Fall family. How's that now? 14. Brian, do you do who's in the Don Fallis family right now? And we talk about this every week.

4:54 We did this before and as more people All right. Uh Lance Archer. Okay. Teesta.

5:02 Uhhuh. Fletcher. Uhhuh. Okada. Uhhuh. Rocky Romero. Uhhuh. Mark Davis. Uhhuh. Is that Chicherero in or am I thinking of someone else?

5:16 Yeah. Nope. It's It's the clone. The clone. That's right. I forgot about him. Uh, hold on. The clone. The uh Jake. He used to be Jake something. What's his new name? Jake. Uh,

5:32 Doyle. Jake Doyle. He's Johnny Doyle's brother. I don't know about that. Uh, but Jake Doyle. That's nine. Who am I forgetting?

5:42 Can't believe I said nine people and I still feel like I'm forgetting people. Why? because there's more depending on the whims of the week. But anyway, so and while this joyous reunion with Andre is happening, apparently he's got his contractual ducks in a row now. FTR comes out on the stage with Stokeley in a wheelchair and they're just looking and why why are they looking? Who are they looking at? What the And Stokeley in a wheelchair. Yes, he took the bad bump, but now you've got a funny visual. And again, I remind everybody, whether it was me being funny or Jimmy Hart being funny or whatever about an injury, it was after we had heat. And it was at a time where we were constantly having more heat put on us and then we would do something to blow a little off and then get some more back. Stokeley's never been treated seriously, taken seriously, presented seriously, acted seriously. Neither is Callus. They

6:58 don't, none of them have any heat. They're just doing the funny [ __ ] that makes them a funny comedy flunky and at the same time drags the stature of the guy that they're with down because it's just goofy [ __ ] So there's 18 people out there and they just they just debuted. And by the way, Jake Doyle looks a lot like Davis.

7:26 They're wearing the same outfit. They're wearing the exact same outfit. And they're both gigantic.

7:31 Well, yeah. And but I mean, even facially hair-wise whatever should have made him the Davis brothers. If nothing I don't know where Doyle comes from, but nevertheless, you've just introduced this guy into the they they did a pretape at the top where they here's Jake Doyle. He's here. And then he comes in and gets a little bit of heat and then the other guy comes in. Why do you debut two people in the same goddamn It just it's a mess.

8:01 So there's 15 [ __ ] people out there. Your your thoughts on anything related to that?

8:09 Who's that wrestler dressed like Andrade? It's it's it's Andrade and I don't know. I mean, how much can you pop fran at this point when he randomly shows up and now he's just another guy that's the 10th guy uh just that we've come up with today in this group with a heel manager you don't take seriously doesn't work ringside even if he did you wouldn't take him seriously because you see what his instincts are and then as far as the match Perry he almost looks less like a wrestler now than he did a few years ago as Jungle boy. Cuz now that he's not just some young kid, he hasn't grown. He hasn't gained a pound and he just looks so tiny. Any wrestler, any female wrestler could take Jack Perry. And the Young Bucks, they're back. All of a sudden, they're just being the babyfaced Young Bucks. Like, it all didn't happen. You know, I'm thinking old old jungle Jack there. It may be the loin cloth that may have

9:12 something to do with his lack of verility. looking cuz I bet you right now Johnny Sheffield when he was 14 could have kicked the [ __ ] out of jungle Jack Perry.

9:23 I don't disagree. Is Johnny Sheffield still alive? Of course. Ladies and gentlemen, if if you're a a small child in the audience, Johnny Sheffield played boy in the MGM Tarzan movies with Johnny Weisser and later on got his own series Bomba the Jungle Boy. And when he was, let's see, they found him in the plane crash in 1939. And by Tarzan and the mermaids, that kid had to be 15 years old. He towered over Jack Perry when he was 15. I say Bomba the Jungle Boy could kick the [ __ ] out of jungle Jack Perry. You know, to me, one of the big themes all night and and of course there are some big highlights to come.

10:09 Well, we've been saying it. really more and more every week it hits me just they're they're stuck in terms of getting new talent. You know, we're seeing the same people, you know, with a with a injured wrestler rotated back in every now and then, but it's the same people doing the same things every single week. It's been years now and there's no big stars coming in. There's no one coming in. Who? Even if they bring Jericho back, that ain't going to help.

10:41 He's not new there. The biggest thing, the biggest benefit to the WWE Jericho is going to be is he's so new cuz he they miss him because he went away. I don't think they really miss him in AEW yet because it would be what it would be. But nevertheless, and there's the only the newest thing in AEW right now is MJF's hair. And in terms of the Callas family, it's ridiculous. And it's a gigantic endless group. But it was even more ridiculous when the I guess the Samoa Joe group or whoever the ops trainee.

11:17 Oh, did you SEE THOSE TEENAGERS? YEAH. WELL, I'LL WAIT till we get there. But it was like, what the [ __ ] is this?

11:24 LIKE [ __ ] SUDDENLY THE daycare center descended on. All right, we'll we'll get there in a
