00:00So everybody arrived at the Survivor Series to get ready for the Survivor Series, and that is a stupid sentence, but the two best parts for me were the pop that Paul Heyman got, because what world are we living in?
00:11Jimmy Uso was wearing a terrific hat. This is the stuff you tune in for.
00:16Also, my friends, I am now in my Chicago hotel. If you don't know what I'm talking about, make sure you go watch Smackdown Ups and Downs, but I am on a Progress slash Defy US tour at the moment, defending my Progress Pro East Championship.
00:27As I am talking to you, I have my third defence tomorrow. If I win, I'll be 3-0. That means I'll be going after my dad Goldberg streak.
00:36Let's forget about that, because we did just have the Survivor Series 2024. Let me tell you, my buddies, we've got a lot to talk about. Let's up those doubts.
00:45The first thing to do on this year's Survivor Series was play the game of, well, which war games will be first, because of course one always starts the show, and one always ends the show, but given that we did have the bloodline in one,
00:55of course it was the women that kicked things off. That did mean that it was Rhea Ripley, Bianca Bale, Eoskai, Bayley and Naomi taking on Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan, Candice LeRae, and of course none other than Miss Money in the Bank, Tiffany Stratton.
01:09We got the war game noise to begin this, which is a little bit strange, because it's an air raid siren.
01:14And then this was the commentator, it was like, oh man, don't forget that Eoskai is this, and she's the queen of war games, because she's been in all the war games, and she's really good.
01:22Rhea had also updated her mask, this was so damn cool, because of course some people talked about that after SmackDown, she looked like she was about to star in Masters of the Universe, and it turned out Bayley wanted to start this match, but very interestingly, on the heel side, it was going to go to Nia Jax.
01:37Now as ever she used her power game, as Corey Graves went, oh, well I think Bayley's just pleased to be here, like he was her dad, when Bayley took off some of her ring gear, and started to whip Nia Jax, then you actually heard Bayley go, quick grab it and hit me, so that's what Nia did.
01:53Listen, some people get so mad about this online, but you know me, I'm still the same old G, I'm a massive nerd, sometimes I just like hearing and tasting the secret song.
02:02I think we then got some foreshadowing, because it was Naomi who got in next, and Michael Cole just screamed, oh, she's Bayley's best friend, and yes, look, let's talk about the first half of this thing.
02:12It was a little bit chaotic, some things didn't go to plan, and yes, Nia Jax hit some chair shots that were like popping somebody on the head, but I tell you, I would rather that than the death shots that we used to get.
02:24And also, these things are so hard to put together, when you watch it from start to finish, it was still pretty damn fun.
02:30What was totally mad, was that every single person that did come out had to get a weapon, and we'll talk about that later, one of which was a toilet seat.
02:38I don't know how else to talk about this, somebody within the world of kayfabe had gone to a toilet and removed the seat, because they thought I can use it as a weapon.
02:47And then do you know what we did with the toilet seat? We did a stink face. I'm never going to be able to get that out of my brain. One day I'm going to be on my deathbed, and I may remember this. How the hell am I going to fathom it?
02:58Candace was in and there were two chairs, and she actually did a springboard moonsault onto those chairs as Bayley was laying on it, but shortly that hurt them both, when it was Bianca Blair's turn, she decided to go get a trash can.
03:08And she totally knocked out Nia Jax for that, and slammed the door right in Loray's head. She had a fire extinguisher. She was just going crazy.
03:16Now we just need to rewind a little bit there. No, a fire extinguisher has never made that noise. I can't make a fire extinguisher sound effect, right? I'm not the guy from Police Academy.
03:25She also absolutely murdered Candace by throwing her into Tina's turnbuckle when it was Tiffany Stratton's turn. Once again, she got a big old pop.
03:33She also got a trash can too, and this was when I was like, not everybody needs to get a weapon. And listen, it was great that a bit of rubbish was being put in the ring, so you all know EOSky was coming, but I am just going to give it a down.
03:44Because if you do something too much, it just becomes a little bit repetitive. And of course, if you're a nerd like me, and you watch all the shows, you remember last year's War Games, where we did the same thing.
03:53So it's just a little petty down, but sometimes I'm a little petty man.
03:56They all then smashed into each other when Sky did get the you can go. And actually, she's crazy too.
04:01Because she had her own trash can that she had painted purple, and she had some kind of hook on her gear, and she instantly climbed to the top of the cage.
04:09That's why EOSky is brilliant, and why WWE called this right. If you know what the fans want, just give it to them.
04:16Now actually, Candice LeRae climbed up there and stopped her. I think EOSky was meant to give her a sunset flip from the top.
04:23Actually, now that didn't go to plan. Somebody could have died.
04:26Raquel with the headband was next, and she full away slammed some people into the steel when Rhea Ripley got the go-ahead.
04:32This place went nuts. So I'm going to keep saying it until we do all understand.
04:37This is why WWE books her in the way that they do do, because it's working. That's the entire point. Why would you ignore it?
04:43I do have a mini down in there, though, because I was so happy and so excited that Rhea was going to kill everyone.
04:49She got cut off instantly. I was like, oh man, I was such a sad panda.
04:53So that time, my parents told me that they didn't love me. Now, ever since then, they said that they didn't mean it.
04:58But do you think I've forgotten it? No, I haven't. Once again, it's a teeny tiny down.
05:02Naomi then used the double rear view as everybody was on the floor when the toilet seat was back.
05:07Because I've got a weird brain, I started to think, because of the rules and there's no DQ, could the toilet seat win the war games?
05:14Listen, the toilet seat didn't win the war games, but I am going to be pondering on this for a long time.
05:19Blair also used her hair in that rhyme, so it must have been the right thing to do when finally Rhea Ripley leveled up her HP.
05:26She just went totally mad and she finally, finally got her hands on Lid Morgan.
05:31Well, she was going to because Lid had to get into the ring, but instead, Morgan just left.
05:36I was like, where is she going? But she had gone to get a baseball bat, probably because she had had a conversation with Sting,
05:41but it also ties into their past when it comes to injury.
05:44Actually, that time it was pretty good, because just as they were going to clash, it turned out all the bad guys had surrounded Ripley and they beat her up.
05:52When you do do those things, do you know what you were telling the audience?
05:54This person is a badass and essentially Batman, and it's going to take multiple individuals to take him down.
06:00There were so many crimes here too, because they did hold her back.
06:04Lid Morgan just bashed her with the baseball bat, and maybe I could have let that go, but then they handcuffed her to the top rope.
06:11Well, at least they had some handcuffs, and that what we were going to do, imagine you showed this footage to the jury, you're guilty, crime count.
06:17Tiffany Stratton, EO Sky, then climbed to different parts of the cage, because one, EO did indeed have that trash can,
06:24and for the second time, she put it over her head and did that moonsault, and let's not forget she can't see,
06:29so that's totally terrifying, and fair play to Tiffany as well, because she did a swanton off there, so I'm sorry.
06:36You have to give it an up. Too quickly in this game, do we forget how dangerous this is? They deserve it all.
06:42The absolute perfect part that was after this, out of one of these bins, Tiffany Stratton absolutely had the Money in the Bank briefcase,
06:48and Lid Morgan was down, and Nia Jax was down, so all of a sudden we had the question,
06:52well, which person is she going to catch it on?
06:54She took too long, which is when EO got obsessed with that fire extinguisher again,
06:58which again, that sounded like a cat who was about to scratch your face.
07:02I don't know, man. The fans were so into this, and they were so excited, and it would have been so interesting,
07:07given that we did have two separate War Games matches.
07:10I think we kind of missed the peak here, and I'm sure that WWE has a much better plan,
07:14but as I'm talking to you, I don't know that. I've got to give it a down as well.
07:18Like, sometimes it's good to have things taken away from you.
07:22This time, I really think we should have swung and seen what happened.
07:24Nia Jax was then going to hit the Annihilator on Bayley through a table,
07:27but instead she looked behind her, so Bayley switched that and hit this amazing powerbomb on Nia.
07:33Once again, you've got to say fair play to that.
07:35And then totally forgot that Ripley had actually used these handcuffs to handcuff Raquel Rodriguez to the ring instead,
07:41which at one point looked like it was going to screw her again,
07:44but finally, Ripley, like I say, charged her powers, and she started to whoop everybody's ass,
07:49and essentially she did turn the tables on Liv Morgan when they climbed to the top rope,
07:53and you've got to see it. It is so well executed.
07:56She hit a riptide, an avalanche riptide, through the table.
08:01I think because Rhea was so big, Liv Morgan is not big, it honestly looked like she was dead.
08:06But that totally ruled, and it was the 1-2-3, meaning that Team Rhea did get the win.
08:10So sure, if you want to describe this as a match of two halves, that's perfectly fine,
08:14but given that it was the second half when this really picked up,
08:17I thought I had a damn good time with it.
08:19And sure, there are things that you can pick at, should you so wish,
08:22and that is your prerogative.
08:23But if I'm entertained, and I have a good time, and I'm doing the dance of joy,
08:27and Rhea Ripley finally gets hers over Liv Morgan, I am giving it a lie.
08:31It was Shinsuke Nakamura vs LA Knight for the US title after this.
08:35And I thought this was very interesting, because if nothing else, we've already talked about.
08:38War Games is always chaotic, so what were they going to do?
08:42But it turned out they were going to surprise us.
08:44I think the WWE has already changed Shinsuke's entrance from SmackDown.
08:48And I foolishly said that I wasn't massively into that, but right now I'm happy to do a 1-8-T.
08:53I don't know what switcheroo's they did make, but my gosh, this one worked for me.
08:57And I looked at Shinsuke Nakamura and I thought,
09:00you may be the coolest person I've ever said.
09:02Which actually makes me a loser.
09:03And he really did throw LA Knight around for a while,
09:05and even when Knight was able to boot him in the head,
09:08and he pinched Shinsuke, Nakamura kicked out of 1.
09:12And I was like, well that's very interesting, I think I should keep my eye on it.
09:15Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have been watching the TV.
09:17How the hell could I review that?
09:18And then I was unable to get his big elbow in,
09:20but Shinsuke came back with an elbow that was way worse.
09:24This is when Michael Cole was like,
09:25yeah, there's two rings, but these guys are only allowed to wrestle in one of them.
09:29I was like, why man?
09:30If they're both there, let them go nuts.
09:32Around this point too, once again, I was looking at Nakamura going,
09:34you're just so cool, maybe you're even cooler than Elvis.
09:37Well, that's not topical.
09:39Let's go with Brad Pitt.
09:41Let's just move on.
09:42Now LA was able to hit this amazing torture rack bomb,
09:44which was essentially a burning hammer.
09:46But here's the thing, he didn't get like a great amount of offense in that.
09:50So even though he was hitting these devastating moves,
09:52Shinsuke kept kicking out.
09:54That's when I started to think, he could actually win this.
09:58But I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to lie,
10:00I wouldn't let myself believe it.
10:02LA Knight was going for the BFT,
10:03but he started doing that stupid thing with his hands where he slaps them.
10:06So Shinsuke Nakamura knew what was coming,
10:08when essentially they fought between both of the rings,
10:11where that steel beam,
10:14Nakamura took LA Knight's face and he smashed him into it.
10:17And the whole time the commentators also said,
10:19oh my gosh, I don't think LA Knight is mentally in this.
10:21Because of course, SmackDown, he had Black Miss smash in his face.
10:24This was totally true too,
10:26because he was all wibbly wobbly in the ring,
10:28when Shinsuke hit him with the Kinsasha to the back of the head,
10:31which is way worse than the front.
10:33And he pinned him for the three.
10:35Now listen, I'm in a hotel room right now.
10:37Do you know what noise I made?
10:39I went wee, like some kind of goat giving birth,
10:42probably going to get kicked out later,
10:44so we better speed up.
10:44I just could not believe it though,
10:46because in many ways this happened too soon.
10:48We have talked about it time and time again,
10:50especially with Shinsuke Nakamura.
10:52The last time he turned heel,
10:53if you were going to switch up somebody's presentation to this degree,
10:57and they don't win,
10:58they look like an absolute goober.
10:59Like in the locker room,
11:00you could be like,
11:01dude, what was the point of that?
11:02It was a waste of time.
11:04And now, he is the US champion,
11:06even if he only holds it for a few weeks,
11:08and LA Knight wins it back at Sun Knight's main event.
11:10This was such a wonderful shock,
11:12and it was such a wonderful surprise,
11:13and it was so nice to see Shinsuke Nakamura get something.
11:16You bet your ass I'm giving it an up.
11:18This is the wrestling.
11:19Amazingly too,
11:20we then cut to a close commercial after this,
11:23when Maxine Dupree and Tozawa were very worried,
11:26because Otis wouldn't come out of his locker room.
11:29Eventually, they said,
11:30don't worry,
11:30we have lovely garments for you to wear.
11:32So, of course,
11:32Otis did come out.
11:34He was half naked.
11:35I stared off into the distance after this,
11:37and I was like,
11:37that's the strangest back-to-back segment I've ever seen in WWE.
11:41Welcome to 2024.
11:43We also moved right into our triple threat
11:45intercontinental title contest after this,
11:48between Brom Breaker, Sheamus, and Ludwig Kaiser.
11:50And if I could,
11:51if it wasn't awful for audience retention,
11:53I would just stand here,
11:54and applaud for five minutes.
11:56In many ways,
11:57this was the best match of the night.
11:58Ludwig Kaiser just bailed to begin with,
12:00because he is a dickhead.
12:01That just meant Breaker and Sheamus
12:03could take lumps out of each other.
12:05And while Kaiser kept trying to get in there,
12:07he kept getting punched,
12:09and that was the story of the match.
12:10Anytime all three did come together,
12:13well, you can see it on social media right now.
12:15Hopefully, we'll put the picture on the screen.
12:17That's a picture of Sheamus,
12:19and I don't think he was painting himself with colored crayons.
12:21Because Sheamus and Brom kept going at it too,
12:23eventually,
12:23Ludwig did do these little punches.
12:24But that is when he set a chair up in the corner.
12:27Now, nothing happened with that at one point,
12:29because they tried to throw him into it,
12:31but he did some matrix slide.
12:33As it turned out,
12:34my gosh,
12:35it was going to pay dividend.
12:36People then fell out of the ring,
12:37but Ludwig Kaiser knew all about
12:38what Brom Breaker likes to do out there,
12:40so he hit him with a drop kick,
12:41when he was able to bust Sheamus
12:43into Simba the Still Steps.
12:44But I kid you not,
12:46when Ludwig turned around,
12:47Brom Breaker was back,
12:49and he dove at him with this shoulder blade.
12:51You will not believe the height.
12:53You will not believe the power.
12:54If you came up to me and said,
12:56actually, Simon,
12:56you know that Brom Breaker is an alien from outer space,
12:59I would believe you more
13:00than you telling me
13:02that he was born on this earth.
13:03I mean, it really is a human cheat code.
13:05This is where Brom and Sheamus
13:07started hitting each other again.
13:09And you know that stupid chart we get,
13:10fight forever.
13:11I mean, it makes no sense.
13:13You wouldn't want that at all.
13:14Actually,
13:15when it comes to these two guys,
13:17I don't think I'd mind it at all.
13:18Now, obviously,
13:19the big story here too
13:20is that Sheamus has never won
13:21the Intercontinental title
13:22and he's desperate to,
13:23which is when him and Ludwig
13:25were fighting on the outside,
13:26and Brom Breaker just dove off there
13:28and he smashed him over
13:30Alan the announce table.
13:31This is another reason
13:32why Brom is so good.
13:33At one point,
13:34the crowd was so behind Sheamus,
13:35he basically became a heel
13:36for five minutes
13:37and instantly,
13:38he was a baby face again.
13:39There's also this really great moment
13:40when Sheamus appeared
13:41from behind Barry Barricade
13:43and gave everybody the 10 beats
13:45and you bet your ass
13:45that'll be mean for years.
13:46When he got into brawling
13:47with Brom again,
13:48which could be the name
13:49of a TV series,
13:50and once again,
13:51this is where I was like,
13:52alright,
13:53maybe the war games
13:54will have more story
13:54at the end of the show,
13:56but it ain't gonna be
13:56more hard-hitting than this.
13:57Sheamus also got frankencited,
13:59which is crazy,
14:00all things considered.
14:02This is when Bron
14:03went for that spear
14:04when he goes 75 miles an hour.
14:06The Irishman got out of the way,
14:07meaning that chair
14:08we talked about earlier,
14:10Breaker hit it
14:10at full speed.
14:12He didn't stop at all.
14:14The man is unhinged.
14:15It also led to one
14:16of the best near falls
14:17you will have seen this year
14:18because Sheamus hit the bro kick
14:20and it looked like
14:21he was about to win
14:22just as the referee
14:23was gonna hit the mat
14:24for the three.
14:26Ludwig Kaiser pulled
14:27the official out of the ring.
14:29That is a wonderful,
14:30wonderful prick.
14:30He also smashed
14:31the absolute crap out of Sheamus
14:32with a shillelagh
14:33because he is Irish
14:34and this therefore
14:35led to something else
14:36because they then got back
14:37in the squared circle
14:38and Sheamus went for a knee
14:40but his whole body buckled
14:41when Ludwig Kaiser
14:42was able to hit him
14:43with a DDT
14:44so this was just
14:44wrestling tennis.
14:45Breaker was then back
14:46and he hit the greatest spear
14:47you've ever seen in your life
14:48and I don't think I'm kidding
14:50and given that took Ludwig out
14:51the commentators then say
14:52oh my gosh
14:53I think Sheamus' ribs
14:54have been totally killed
14:56because of those shillelagh attacks
14:57when Brom Breaker
14:59hit another fantastic spear
15:00I imagine all of Sheamus' bones
15:02did break
15:03one, two, three
15:04all because of that
15:06damn Ludwig Kaiser.
15:07So this rules
15:07and you've got to go watch it
15:08it is 15 minutes of awesomeness
15:10and of course one day Sheamus is going to win
15:12that Intercontinental title
15:13and I tell you
15:14I will have water
15:16coming out of my seeing devices
15:17so I'm absolutely giving it an up
15:20Brom Breaker should probably hold
15:22that championship
15:22until 2049.
15:24When the World Heavyweight Championship
15:26was on the line
15:27that's when once again
15:28I thought to myself
15:29sometimes my brain does work
15:30this is a very well structured show
15:33because Gunther versus Damian Priest
15:35yeah I want to see it.
15:36Damian's entrance is spot on too
15:37and makes it feel like such a killer
15:39although he was wearing this like belt
15:41that looked like it was blood drops
15:43don't get mad at me
15:44I'm just reporting the news
15:45Gunther is Gunther too
15:46and I don't know what that means
15:48but he is Gunther
15:48but once again we had a tell here
15:51because Damian was all smiling
15:52or like ha ha
15:53I've got the confidence
15:54whereas Gunther
15:55he looked visibly scared
15:57Priest then stuck his knee
15:58in the ring general's face
16:00which absolutely was going to tie into that
16:01and he was murking Gunther to such a degree
16:04at one point he smashed him right on the nose
16:06when his shoulder went
16:08now at first I was like
16:09oh that's a nice little point
16:10we can throw into the match
16:12but no no my friends
16:13actually it turned out
16:14that Damian Priest was wounded
16:16like a video game boss
16:17he had this big like red welt
16:19that was flashing
16:19and Gunther who's probably been into video games
16:21since the NES decided
16:23oh my gosh
16:23I can work on that
16:25and he did
16:25did you know what the first thing he did was
16:27he chopped it
16:28because of course he did
16:29Priest also got thrown into Barry Barricade
16:31when Gunther got instant revenge
16:33because he took his knee
16:34and he stuck it
16:35in this wounded shoulder
16:37I thought that was disgusting
16:38and mean
16:39they then continued to slug it out
16:41and if you can believe it
16:42Damian actually got some offense in
16:44but the problem now was
16:45he was so injured
16:46he couldn't get the force
16:47behind his pins
16:49look at this
16:50one-armed Jones over here
16:51he then found himself in this sleeper
16:53which was also not good
16:54because Gunther has about 58,962 moves
16:57but that's when he came up with a great idea
16:59why don't I put this Gunther idiot in a triangle
17:01because then I can use my limbs that do work
17:04he also couldn't hit the razor's edge
17:05because of his injuries
17:06when Gunther just came back
17:08with his powerbomb
17:09for the one-two
17:10I mean he really is tremendous
17:12I kid you not too
17:14Damian Priest then hit a Frankensteiner
17:16which may have been even more nuts
17:18than Brom Breakers earlier
17:19when he got the razor's edge
17:21but once again
17:22he wasn't able to make a proper pin
17:24because of his shoulders
17:25and I tell you my dudes
17:27you totally got me
17:29this is when Gunther decided
17:30well I'm just going to put you in a kimura
17:31which will totally take your shoulder out
17:33but when Damian Priest got to the ropes
17:35these fans just cheered
17:37I do believe that it's mission success
17:39so even though he was quite clearly going to lose
17:41allowing Damian Priest to be this much of a badass
17:43really did help him
17:45to the point he got hurt again
17:47and he fell to the outside
17:48and he even said to the referee
17:49give me a minute
17:50as it turned out
17:51they were famous last words
17:53because do you know who has been spamming
17:54and playing Mario way too much recently
17:56it is Finn Balor
17:57he came to ringside
17:59he went on Simba the Steel steps
18:01and he stomped
18:02on Damian Priest's bad shoulder
18:04what a piece of shit
18:05Agunga was tremendous here
18:07because he is the honourable heel
18:08so he took out Finn Balor instantly
18:10but at the same time
18:12he has been having confidence issues
18:13so he's not going to look a gift horse in the matter
18:16so he hit the powerbomb
18:16and went right into the sleeper
18:18and poor Damian Priest
18:19hadn't got his eight hours
18:21so his brain went night night
18:23and he lost
18:24all because of that horrible Finn
18:26at first I was a bit like
18:27man I don't want to go back to Finn Balor
18:29and Damian Priest
18:29because we've done it so much
18:31but then I realised
18:32actually
18:32this makes Finn Balor
18:33a real human being
18:35if you hate someone
18:36you don't go
18:36oh well
18:37we have our one match that I lost
18:38I'll just leave it
18:40no
18:40you want to get your ultimate revenge
18:42and of course Gunther can now get involved in this too
18:44because he's going to be pissed at Balor
18:46so while I thought about it
18:47and because the match was damn good
18:49you bet your ass is getting it up
18:51and of course
18:52what are we doing
18:52planting the seeds for the future
18:54that's good wrestling
18:55up
18:56it meant it was down to the main event
18:58to hit a home run
18:59to prove this was a show worth your time
19:01and it was indeed War Games number two
19:03Bloodline 2.0
19:05versus the OG Bloodline and CM Punk
19:08and even saying those words
19:09we are not in Kansas anymore Toto
19:11it really did feel massive as well
19:13and Tamatongo was going to be the first guy
19:15for the new Bloodline
19:16and when CM Punk and Roman Reigns were out there
19:19they were just looking at each other
19:20a lot like you
19:21and he was like
19:22well I don't like youina
19:23and I was like
19:23well no I don't think you like either of them
19:24we also made sure that Jey Uso came out last
19:27which I thought was a tremendous story point
19:29because there's no leader anymore
19:30and Roman Reigns is not in charge
19:32it also meant there was going to be Jey versus Tamatongo
19:35to kick things off
19:35now this Tamo decided
19:37he was going to climb around the War Games cage
19:40like once again
19:41he'd been playing Super Mario World
19:43and he thought he was in Bowser's Castle
19:45Tamatongo I love you but you're not
19:47I think at this point too
19:48we should really give some credit to Tamatongo
19:49because he has been tremendous
19:51ever since he has arrived in WWE
19:53and Jey Uso has had a better year
19:55that's why I like these matches so much
19:57it's not just about the main eventers
19:59everybody has their place
20:01I really like the fact that a 1.2 Tamatongo
20:03tried to pin Jey
20:04because that's what you would do in real life
20:06because it comes down to instincts
20:08we did one of these in the women's matches too
20:10I actually think it's thinking outside the box
20:12and it's smart
20:13Bronson Reed was in next
20:14and he went to get a weapon straight away
20:17so I'm just going to give it another down
20:19because I ought to be groaned
20:20and if anything makes me do that in wrestling
20:22I can't just ignore it
20:24but I'm happy to report from this point on
20:26everybody thankfully forgot about it
20:27what I really did like though
20:28is that he did have some chairs
20:29and Jey Uso got these
20:31and they threw him at Bronson Reed
20:33but he just no solved them
20:35so that's another guy that's had a great six months
20:37he just comes across like a monster
20:39it also meant that Jey Uso was being killed
20:41so Jimmy Uso could be the next guy
20:43to save his brother
20:44and my gosh was Jimbo on it this evening
20:46he climbed to the top rope
20:48and did a corkscrew moonsault
20:50that dude got some serious hype
20:52eventually it looked like Tangelao
20:53was going to be sent to the ring
20:54but Solo said no
20:55Jacob Fatu you had to go
20:57so once again
20:58just such a nice story beat
21:00because at this juncture
21:01you could argue
21:01that the Bloodline 2.0 will lose it
21:03I really love the reaction as well
21:04because everyone was like
21:05oh no not Jacob
21:07and he got in there
21:08and he totally muttered the Uso's
21:10like they were nothing
21:11so as I always tell you
21:12every day you wake up
21:14you should be trying to find someone
21:16that treats you
21:17how WWE treats Jacob Fatu
21:19Roman then actually stops CM Punk
21:21from leaving the shark cage
21:23and going to the ring
21:24so I had mixed emotions about this
21:26I was like well one
21:27why would you two want to hang out
21:28in a small space for any longer
21:30but it also meant
21:31Sami Zayn was being added in
21:32you know the deal with Sami
21:34I ain't ever going to get mad about that
21:35him and Reid also went at it for a while
21:37and I was like man
21:38I'd take that feud
21:39and even though he did get mugged off
21:41a little bit
21:41it was him and Jimmy
21:43that then got on top
21:44and then they did their handshake
21:46I don't care what you say my friends
21:48that is goofy wrestling for life
21:49what are we doing
21:50Tangelo then finally got the blessing
21:52from his tribal chief
21:53and he introduced more tables into this
21:56which I think was the fifth one of the night
21:58but actually given how they were going to tie in
22:01I give it a pass
22:02thankfully the clock then ran down
22:04because I really wanted to see
22:05what was going to happen here
22:06and yeah
22:07Rohan Ray was like
22:08it's my time pal
22:09when CM Punk was like
22:10uh uh bro
22:11I don't care about you
22:12and he stuck his hand out
22:14and he went to the ring instead
22:15and I think these two are going to be sending Christmas cards to each other
22:19it also kind of looked like Punk wasn't going to get involved
22:21because he looked around
22:22but actually
22:22he also went weapon crazy
22:24but he revealed a toolbox
22:26and this is another one
22:27that I'm happy to give a pass
22:28because do you remember back in 2019
22:30how much we hated this toolbox
22:32well given what CM Punk and Drew McIntyre did
22:34in the Hell in a Cell a few months ago
22:35I was like you know what
22:37it's fine
22:37Solo Sokoa was then good to go
22:39and he yelled at Roman Reigns
22:40before he got in the ring
22:41and used the flipping cage door
22:43to brain everyone
22:45so he's not a nice person
22:46they could die
22:47now it was actually really cool
22:49because Solo Sokoa was calling all the plays
22:51and one by one
22:52they took everybody down
22:53with Bronson Reed doing some tsunamis
22:55and CM Punk was surrounded by all five of them
22:58and even though he was throwing his fisty cuffs
23:00you can't do well five on one
23:03so he was taken down too
23:04it meant that it was all set up for Roman
23:06when Solo the best character in the world right now
23:09locked the door
23:10he was like well your ass ain't getting in here now
23:12what are you gonna do
23:14I had a mini breakdown
23:15I was like oh man
23:15please don't be bolt cutters
23:17I hate bolt cutters
23:18Reigns had a much better idea
23:20he too went all video game
23:22he turned in from Vega to Street Fighter 2
23:24and he climbed up the thing
23:26and he was knocking people down
23:27to the point
23:28he found himself
23:29on the tier of the turnbuckle
23:31and he did a top rope crossbody
23:33I'm sorry
23:34if Roman is doing top rope crossbodies
23:37we are in for a treat
23:38he then went and made sure
23:39he gave the rest of the bloodline
23:40their med packs
23:41but not CM Punk
23:42who had to stand up by himself
23:43and that's when he and Roman
23:45were gonna get into a fight
23:46when Paul Heyman ran down
23:48and was like listen
23:48I'm gonna say all your nicknames
23:50and your catchphrases
23:51you're better together
23:52so you better start working together
23:54it meant we then got the big old stare down
23:56between the good guys and the bad guys
23:57and that always works
23:58but when they got into it
24:00Bronson Reed
24:01not Bronson Reed
24:02Jacob Fatui and CM Punk
24:03were going at it
24:04and Roman Reigns was going at it
24:05with Sola Sokoa
24:06when Roman went to hit the spear
24:08Sola moved out the way
24:10meaning Roman speared Punk instead
24:12and now CM can go give The Rock a call
24:15they have something in common
24:17Sola then got the spike on Reigns
24:18for a really good one-two
24:19when Jacob Fatui
24:21went to hit the moonsault on CM Punk
24:22but I guess he was too erratic
24:24because he went right into the floor
24:25and he destroyed his leg
24:27now you have to imagine
24:27this was part of the match
24:29because for the rest of it
24:30he was only at 95%
24:31Roman Reigns had made sure
24:32to punch him in the penis
24:33which was definitely gonna take him out of it
24:35but that meant he forgot about
24:36Ronson Reigns
24:37who smashed Roman right in the back
24:39and he put him on a table
24:41and Bronson Reed
24:42this giant man
24:43started climbing to the top of the cage
24:46and I was screaming
24:47don't do this man
24:48it's not worth it
24:49you've got kids
24:50maybe
24:50I don't know
24:51but whatever he does
24:52it tied into what is arguably
24:53the best story point of the entire war games
24:56because Bronson really did jump off there
24:58and do you want to know
24:59why he didn't hit Roman Reigns
25:02because he was saved by none other than
25:04Repo Man
25:05it wasn't Repo Man
25:06it should have been Repo Man
25:07but it was CM Punk
25:09the table exploded too
25:10and this is when the Usos took their Phoenix Downs
25:12and they actually hit the 1D onto Jacob Fatou
25:15and when was the last time we saw it
25:17this place went nuts
25:18Jimmy Uso then continued to prove
25:20he may have been the MVP of the match
25:22because he went to the top rope too
25:24excuse me
25:24the top of the cage
25:25and he did a splash from up there
25:28I can't even remember who was on the damn wood
25:30because I was so obsessed with what Jimbo was doing
25:33and he got mad height on this
25:35somebody go and give him the Eula Fowler
25:37this is when it was Sami Zayn
25:38who went and helped everybody up
25:40which I thought was a very nice touch
25:41and it meant we had turned the tables ironically
25:44because all the five good guys
25:46were only looking at one person
25:47it was Sol Sokoa
25:49it was time for him to get his
25:51now he did try to take them out
25:53not to dinner
25:53but of course he got hit with every single finisher
25:56under the sun
25:57including CM Punk's GTS
25:59which knocked him out
26:01when Roman came in for the spear
26:031, 2, 3
26:04so honestly good grief
26:05the layer of story here is ridiculous
26:07the amount we can do after this is massive
26:09and also WWE knew that too
26:11because if you jump back 12 months
26:13CM Punk arrived after that war games
26:15so we just teased and teased and teased
26:17that maybe someone like The Rock
26:18was going to pop their head in
26:20but they did not
26:21it did mean you had a lot of looks
26:22from Roman Reigns at CM Punk
26:24and CM Punk at Roman Reigns
26:25when they got to the entrance
26:26when everyone did the ones
26:28CM Punk was doing his go to sleep bit
26:31honestly it gets me out of time
26:33because out of context
26:34they look crazy
26:35it really was great stuff though
26:36and if you're not planning on watching it
26:38you have to change your mind
26:39because again
26:39just to draw a line under it
26:41this is WWE at its best
26:43it's totally nuts
26:44it's sports entertainment
26:45there's so much story
26:46quite clearly we're heading to
26:48Roman Reigns versus CM Punk
26:49at some point
26:50and quite clearly
26:51Paul Heyman has other alternatives
26:52but yeah
26:53bravo
26:54brilliant
26:54great show
26:55getting it up
26:56and I kind of just said it there
26:57but I'll say it again
26:58the show overall
26:59the Survivor Series
26:59does get an up
27:00and there were some people
27:01going the build
27:02hadn't been as good
27:03or the card wasn't that great
27:04I had a terrific time
27:06watching this
27:06it went an hour earlier
27:08and I think it clocked in
27:09at three and a half hours
27:10I think everybody
27:11hit a home run
27:12getting it up
27:13now of course
