04:24Tonight, welcome to this episode.
04:25I am Dr. Fro.
04:26We are talking all things WWE Monday Night Raw.
04:29And, look, here's the thing.
04:31They did a little better this week.
04:32There's, like, nine speaking segments and four matches.
04:35It's better than last week's over-imploded, huge number of speaking segments.
04:39It really gets on my nerves.
04:40I understand needing to, you know, create storylines and further the conversation,
04:45but it was too much last week.
04:47This was a little bit better.
04:48It still felt like too much, but it was a little bit better.
04:50But let's get into what we saw.
04:52We opened the show with Penta coming out.
04:54The ovation was obnoxious.
04:55He is so over.
04:56It's ridiculous.
04:58The guy is finally getting his flowers.
04:59For all the years he's put into the business, he's in the biggest company in the world,
05:02and he is so over with the fans.
05:04It's beautiful.
05:05His entrance is fantastic.
05:06Everything about Penta's presentation is amazing.
05:08And his mic skills are getting even better on interview segments and promos.
05:13I really love that.
05:14And he's doing so much in English.
05:16Great stuff.
05:17I have so much respect for Penta.
05:18He is absolutely at the top of his game,
05:20and I think people are really, really embracing him as a top-flight star.
05:24After he gets to the ring, we have Javon Evans come out.
05:26And I didn't understand why he was there.
05:28Honestly, my Spidey sensors are going off a little bit.
05:30I actually thought maybe he was going to go heel.
05:32He's all bandaged up.
05:33He's got the ribs taped up, the arm in a sling.
05:35He's limping.
05:36I thought maybe he's overselling because he's going to turn on Penta here,
05:39which I don't want to happen, but it seemed like it may.
05:41And I will say this.
05:43I found out tonight just how much he needs to improve on his mic work
05:46because he was severely lacking in mic skills tonight.
05:49I was not impressed with the promo.
05:51Didn't think it had a lot of substance to it.
05:53I love that he was putting Penta over, a super respectful thing to do.
05:56But really, it was a setup.
05:58And this is where we find out why he's out there for real.
06:00With the ribs all bandaged up like that, we see Braun Breaker slide into the ring.
06:03And as he goes to take out Penta, Javon pushes Penta out of the way,
06:06and he eats the spear.
06:07And now he's probably going to be written off TV for a little while.
06:10When he does come back, I'm sure he'll have a match with Braun Breaker,
06:12which will delay Braun Breaker doing anything substantial for the next couple weeks.
06:17I'm sure Braun will have a feud with Penta at this point.
06:19It's pretty obvious that's where they're working towards.
06:22Don't know how I feel about all this, to be perfectly honest with you.
06:24If you wanted him to win the briefcase, you should have had him win the briefcase.
06:27I'm afraid they're going to do one of those matches
06:28where they put the briefcase on the line.
06:30I don't like that.
06:31Once you make your decision, go with it.
06:33We have Money in the Bank winners.
06:34Let the people have their Money in the Bank winner.
06:36Ride it out until you're ready to cash in.
06:38Now, the problem with that is, who is Penta cashing in on?
06:41He's not going to cash in on Roman Reigns because he'll lose,
06:43and that wouldn't make any sense.
06:45And we all know that.
06:46Let's not be stupid.
06:46If he cashes in on Roman Reigns, it's a waste of a cash-in.
06:49Because Roman's going to go to Mania and defend the World Championship
06:51against Obafemi, where he's finally going to lose it.
06:53And likewise, Penta's not cashing in on Obafemi once he wins it.
06:58Because Obafemi's over so much, again, it would be a waste of a cash-in.
07:02So that tells me that Penta's going to cash that contract in
07:05on the WWE Championship over on SmackDown.
07:07Now, who does he challenge?
07:08I don't know.
07:09There's so much talent over on SmackDown.
07:11I think a lot of them make a lot of sense.
07:14But at the end of the day, I'm not the booker.
07:17I don't know.
07:18Do you put him against Sami Zayn?
07:20Do you wait a little while?
07:21Do you have other plans for somebody coming down the pike?
07:24Are you going to have Sami keep that title for the long term?
07:27Is he going to be heading to Mania with the championship?
07:29I don't know.
07:30Penta does have a full year, though, which is an interesting layer to the whole thing
07:34because he doesn't have to cash in at WrestleMania.
07:36He could cash in all the way until next year this time, which adds a little bit to it.
07:40He could wait for the right opportunity.
07:42In the meantime, we really got to figure out what they're doing with Braun Breaker.
07:46Like, he looks like an unstoppable badass right now, and I love that.
07:49But we really do need to see where they're going with him.
07:52Is he really the future of the company?
07:53If he is, then let's get on it.
07:55Like, get him and Oba on separate brands, and let's really push the heck out of Braun Breaker.
08:00We thought he was going to be world champion a year ago.
08:02Now he's so far away from that.
08:04I don't even know how you come back from this.
08:05We'll have to wait and see how things play out.
08:07Then we get our first match of the night.
08:09Rey Mysterio versus Big Cass.
08:11The commentary team spent the whole night hyping up the fact that Rey Mysterio specializes
08:15taking out these big guys, people like the Big Show, stuff like that.
08:18And I get it.
08:19He is a smaller guy, and it's something he has done for a good part of his career.
08:22But it's not the only thing.
08:23His moveset, the fact that he's in his 50s and still runs around like a 25-year-old,
08:29this is some of the best work of Rey Mysterio's career.
08:31And it's at his latest, like the twilight of his active wrestling career.
08:36It's just absolutely mind-blowing.
08:38When people talk about the greatest wrestlers of all time,
08:40I really hope that when it's all said and done, Rey Mysterio is in that conversation.
08:45Because he really has done so much.
08:46You can't penalize the guy because he's tiny.
08:48You can't.
08:49It's not fair.
08:50So take that into consideration.
08:51Realize just how much he's accomplished in the world of pro wrestling across multiple companies.
08:56WCW, WWE, Lucha Underground, AAA, all over the world.
09:01You've got to consider that.
09:03ECW, like he's done so much.
09:05This is debatably one of, if not the greatest pound-for-pound wrestler in the history of the business.
09:10Very, very cool stuff.
09:11The match itself is pretty solid.
09:13I'm not going to lie.
09:13You know, it's typical, like, small guy, break it down to big guy.
09:17Big guy getting a lot of, you know, offense in.
09:19What I did not like was towards the end of the match.
09:22Big Cass is bouncing Rey Mysterio's head off the turnbuckle.
09:26There is no difference slamming the back of his head in turnbuckles, pushing his face into the turnbuckle.
09:30Putting his face doesn't get the referee to scream at you and back you off.
09:33But the back of the head does.
09:35It doesn't make sense to me.
09:37It doesn't.
09:37There's no rule difference there.
09:39So I don't understand why she was getting so active.
09:40Now, I get it, you know, in storyline.
09:42It was so she could be distracted attending to Rey.
09:45So the Dragon Lee could come out and kick, you know, big Cass in the face.
09:49Which led to him falling down into perfect 619 position, which is so ridiculous.
09:54I'm kind of over that.
09:55I'd much rather Rey kicks him in the back and puts him in that position.
09:58But Rey hits the 619, springboards up onto his shoulders, and then ends up hitting a victory roll for the
10:03win.
10:03And Rey Mysterio picks up the decisive victory over big Cass.
10:08Here's my problem.
10:09Cass is not getting over.
10:11And they're not booking him strong.
10:12So what are we going to do with Cass?
10:14When they were walking up the rampway, I mean Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee, they're looking back at Cass.
10:18Cass is fuming.
10:19This was a missed opportunity.
10:20The word is that they've been waiting.
10:23The fans are waiting for Enzo.
10:24The fans are waiting for Enzo.
10:25So give them Enzo.
10:26When Rey and Dragon Lee are backing up the ramp, that was a perfect time for Enzo to come out
10:32from nowhere and attack both of them.
10:33The double clothesline and start a feud between two tag teams.
10:36That would have been phenomenal.
10:38Instead, you just had the big man lose again, which is getting kind of laborious and repetitive.
10:42I don't enjoy it whatsoever.
10:44I really think he's better than that.
10:45I think he took so much time to put his body in the best shape ever when he was away
10:48from WWE, when he was in TNA, when he was in AEW.
10:52I want to see big Cass better featured.
10:54But the only way to do that, I think, at this point, to rehabilitate him is to bring in Enzo.
10:58And if that's what you're going to do, get on it.
11:00Get it done.
11:00Get him in a good program where they can get over organically as a tag team.
11:04Enzo worked as a babyface and a heel before.
11:06I think he'd do just fine as a heel here.
11:08And he could really get this team going.
11:10Really heat up their tag team division on Raw.
11:12It's kind of stale as it is anyways, so I would love to see that happen.
11:15We'll have to wait and see how it plays out over time.
11:17But for now, solid match, if I'm being honest.
11:20Then we get something that's very confusing to me.
11:22We had a recap at the beginning of the show of the whole Bloodline 946 stuff.
11:26Then we're getting another recap.
11:28Why?
11:29Why are we giving up precious television time for a second rehash of the same old stuff?
11:35And we're going to get more of them throughout the show.
11:37And I'm not going to highlight each one of them because it gets so repetitive.
11:39But for me, I could have gone the rest of the night without one more 946 Bloodline reference
11:45until the actual match took place.
11:47So we get this recap.
11:48It covers every single flipping thing ever going down between the two.
11:52Then we go to another backstage segment.
11:54Adam Pearce is back there talking to the ref.
11:56And I forget which ref it was.
11:57I apologize.
11:58Basically, the ref's saying, you know, is this a punishment?
12:01He wanted him to referee the 946 Bloodline match.
12:04And he's like, no, no, no.
12:04I just need a senior official out there.
12:06I think it's Chad Paddington, if I'm saying his name right.
12:10We need a senior official out there.
12:12We don't need you to necessarily enforce all the rules.
12:14We need you to be there to make the three count or get the submission, whatever.
12:17Get in, get out, and be done with it.
12:19And it's like a worthless segment.
12:21I don't really understand why we felt the need to have to do this.
12:23From there, we go out to the ring.
12:24And the judgment day is out.
12:26We're going to celebrate Liv Morgan winning the world championship again.
12:29But where it gets really interesting is she starts talking about how now she's going
12:32to shift her focus to becoming a two-time winner of the Crown Jewel Championship as she goes
12:36to face the other women's champion, Chelsea Green, and in Saudi Arabia.
12:40When they go there, here comes Chelsea Green, her music kit.
12:43She comes to the ring.
12:44I never realized how tall she was.
12:45She gets in the ring.
12:46Her and Liv, she's very complimentary of Liv.
12:50Liv is not complimentary towards her.
12:51There's some tension building there.
12:53And then, for whatever reason, Roxanne Perez steps in front of Chelsea Green.
12:57Now, here's where I start having my first issue of the night.
12:59Yes, the segments are a little bit wonky, but I don't have a problem with anything up
13:03until this point.
13:04Here's where I have a problem.
13:06Roxanne has not won anything lately.
13:08She lost at AAA when she was challenging for the championship there.
13:12Didn't win money in the bank.
13:14She's not a credible challenger right now.
13:17If you wanted her to be, you should have given her the briefcase.
13:19You didn't.
13:20So since you didn't do that, she walks up, gets nose-to-nose with Chelsea Green, and basically
13:24goads her into a match tonight.
13:26That's bad enough.
13:27But what's really bad is, Judgment Day is always like, they're always outside the ring.
13:31There's always interference.
13:32But here's the deal.
13:33Chelsea Green, better probably than anybody since this has been going on, including Rhea
13:37Ripley, handles Judgment Day.
13:39They stand no chance.
13:41She's literally taking Roxanne, throwing her into Raquel.
13:45She's taking a dive outside the ring and taking him out.
13:47Liv goes to charge her.
13:48She sidesteps and throws her over an announce table.
13:51But here's the problem.
13:52None of that stuff breaks the rules because no one actually attacked Chelsea Green.
13:56She attacked them, but they didn't attack her.
13:58So up until that point, no rules have technically been violated.
14:02So when Chelsea Green goes to get back in the ring and Roxanne hits Pop Rocks and pins
14:05her clean, that's a clean victory over the WWE Women's Champion.
14:10And that's a problem for me because I don't understand what you're doing.
14:14She hasn't been built to that level.
14:15She shouldn't have had this match.
14:17And now that she hasn't, you gave her a clean pinfall win.
14:20It makes her look weak.
14:21It makes Chelsea look weak right before she has to go to Saudi Arabia and face off with
14:25Liv Morgan in the Crown Jewel Championship match.
14:28I didn't like this.
14:29I didn't like it at all.
14:30If you're going to do something with Roxanne, you should have done it at Money in the Bank.
14:33You didn't.
14:33You dropped the ball.
14:34She should have won the briefcase and challenged Liv right away or very shortly after.
14:38Or you shouldn't have had Liv win the championship.
14:41You should have had Vakura retain the championship, have Roxanne win the briefcase, and then have Liv and
14:46Roxanne have tension because Liv wants Roxanne to give her the briefcase because she's the
14:50leader of the Judgment Day.
14:51She could refuse, and that could lead to their breakup and lead to Roxanne winning the championship
14:55and feuding with Liv.
14:57I know I'm booking like crazy when I say all that, but that to me makes a lot more sense
15:01of whatever this nonsense is that they're doing.
15:03From there, we do get the match.
15:05Chelsea and Roxanne was pretty solid.
15:06After the match, there's the beatdown, and they lay her out.
15:09And where's Tiffany Stratton?
15:10She's supposed to be her bestie?
15:11She's not available because she's banged up from Money in the Bank.
15:14I get that, but then you have somebody else come out.
15:18And there was a simple solution to this problem.
15:21Later on in the show, we're going to get a backstage segment, and it would have fixed
15:25this segment.
15:26Later on, when we get the segment with Roxanne and Raquel in the back, if you had put that
15:30before this, you could have fixed all of it because then you could have had an excuse
15:34for Io to come out and help Chelsea.
15:36But instead, I digress.
15:37So we don't get that.
15:38We get the beatdown instead.
15:40Judgment Day, Stand Tall.
15:41Now, from there, another backstage segment, the Usos and Solo Sokoa.
15:44Solo saying that Roman Reigns is not his tribal chief.
15:47The Usos saying, hey, listen, we're the captains.
15:49Him saying, nope, tonight you need to fall behind me.
15:52All this back and forth banter, kind of ridiculous.
15:54Jimmy Uso is actually like the voice of reason.
15:57I appreciated that.
15:58But they are clearly a disjointed, non-functioning group.
16:01And we need them to get on the same page because we're heading into a season of war games
16:06at Survivor Series.
16:07And we need them to be at their best versions of themselves.
16:10And I'm really curious to see how this is going to play out.
16:13But from there, we get another speaking segment.
16:15Obafemi comes to the ring.
16:17And what I really found interesting about his promo, he was like, it doesn't matter how
16:20big they are, how strong they are.
16:22It doesn't matter how many cousins they have and family members clearly referencing Roman
16:27Reigns.
16:28He's putting those teasers out there for Roman Reigns.
16:30We're starting the build already.
16:32I love that because, like I said earlier, no one cares about Roman Reigns anything right
16:37now because it's boring and monotonous.
16:39But if you start building the Oba situation, then we have something to look forward to.
16:43Then we start to get excited.
16:45We start to find some fulfillment in the show.
16:47This was really good.
16:48He gets interrupted by Paul Heyman.
16:50And it's very clear.
16:52Paul Heyman is basically trying to sales pitch him on being the next Paul Heyman guy.
16:56And he's having none of it.
16:58He ends up taking the microphone from Paul Heyman.
17:00Oba throws it outside the ring and he tells him, Brock Lesnar, I'm not Brock Lesnar.
17:06I'm not Roman Reigns.
17:07I'm not a Paul.
17:08They were Paul Heyman guys.
17:09I'm an Oba Femi guy.
17:11And he basically walks away from Paul Heyman, which I thought was a good bit of business
17:15because obviously one of two things that happened, either he's going to align with him eventually
17:20or Paul Heyman has to go find himself a new beast.
17:22And I don't know who that beast is going to be.
17:24I don't know who they've got coming up or who they've got established that they would
17:26want to put in that role, but they're going to need something to occupy Oba Femi.
17:30Until he's ready for Roman Reigns.
17:32From there, let's go backstage segment again.
17:34Adam Pearce in the back with EO Sky.
17:36Talk about how she needs a new challenger.
17:37Lyra Valkyria walks into the segment.
17:39She's talking trash.
17:40She interrupts because she wants to know what's going to be done about Bayley.
17:44Bayley's like 30 feet away looking at him, waving at them.
17:47And then Pearce waves at Bayley.
17:49And then instantly, like the Lyra Bailey thing is kind of over.
17:52And instead we have Roxanne Perez and Raquel come into the frame.
17:55And Roxanne's interrupting EO's conversation with Adam Pearce again because she decided
17:59that because she beat Chelsea Green, she deserves an opportunity at the WWE Women's Championship.
18:04And he says, well, that's fine.
18:05If that's what you want, go to SmackDown and get it.
18:07Which I love that.
18:09But instead, you know, EO gets into the picture and they basically trash EO about how irrelevant
18:14she is and how, you know, she's not worthy really anymore.
18:17And she hasn't done anything for quite a while, let's be honest.
18:21But she did say to Adam Pearce that she found her next opponent.
18:25And obviously they're implying that she's challenging for the Intercontinental Championship
18:28with Raquel Rodriguez.
18:30I'm okay with it, but it's been done before.
18:32Raquel's beaten her before.
18:33I don't know why we would go back to this again.
18:36And if you do, I suspect they're going to give her the championship.
18:39But I didn't love this segment.
18:41It's the second segment of the show that I wasn't a big fan of.
18:44From there, we start seeing the walkout for Chad Gable.
18:47He's going to be facing Ray Phoenix in a little bit for the Intercontinental Championship.
18:50But they don't actually go to that match first.
18:52Instead, they go to another backstage segment with LA Knight where Jackie Redman's interviewing
18:56him and he's talking about the experience.
18:58And he's kind of blowing off all the kudos she's giving him about Money in the Bank.
19:03And then Solo Sokoa comes out and Solo's telling him, like, no, you should be happy.
19:07You know, you did great against the Tribal Chief.
19:09You know, you didn't get the job done, but you did great.
19:10And then he, you know, LA Knight gets frustrated because Solo's back with the blood.
19:14And he says, I'm not back with the blood.
19:16And he's like, are we cool?
19:17He's like, yeah, we're cool.
19:18And then he walks off screen.
19:19I don't know where they're going with this.
19:21But I think they need to figure it out and figure it out soon.
19:23Because is LA Knight going to join 946 to be member number four or five, whatever, heading
19:29into Survivor Series?
19:30I don't know.
19:30That's certainly a possibility.
19:31If he's frustrated with Roman, it feels like Solo turned his back on him to go back to
19:35the bloodline.
19:37From there, we actually get the Chad Gable, Bray Phoenix match.
19:40And I'm just saying this the way I have to.
19:43One of the best Raw matches of the year.
19:46These two went at it.
19:47They did everything.
19:48Hit crazy spots.
19:50Super physical.
19:51Super skilled.
19:52This was phenomenal.
19:53Ray Phoenix and Chad Gable, two of the best wrestlers in the world right now.
19:57I don't care what Dave Meltzer says.
19:59I don't care what his star rating system is.
20:00It's BS anyways.
20:02These two killed it.
20:03This was a phenomenal match.
20:04This is as close to five star matches you're going to get on public television.
20:08This was awesome.
20:09And I could go back and rewatch this over and over and over again.
20:12Chad Gable picks up the win.
20:13But you really thought Ray Phoenix could have taken this at any point in time.
20:18I love everything you're doing with both of these guys right now.
20:20Both look really, really strong.
20:21This was a great match.
20:23Match of the year candidate in WWE at least.
20:25Definitely.
20:26From there we get another interview segment where now we're in the back.
20:30We're outside the trainer's room and we've been notified that Stephanie Vecura is getting checked out for her injury.
20:36While she's coming through the doorway.
20:38She's on crutches.
20:39And as she's getting interviewed and she's basically, you know, really venting her frustrations.
20:44Here comes Becky Lynch into the frame.
20:46And obviously they're still building towards a few of these two.
20:49You know, Becky talks to her about like, I handed you that championship and then you cost both of us
20:55the championship.
20:55It was really some passion stuff.
20:58And I like this.
20:58And I really want to see this feud.
21:01I felt like though they almost made Stephanie Vecura out to be a heel.
21:05Like she seems so self-righteous and whatnot.
21:07And I didn't love that about it because I think she's better as a baby face.
21:11But all in all, I can't wait for the feud.
21:12It should be great stuff.
21:13I didn't need another backstage segment.
21:15But if I'm going to have one, this was a good one.
21:16From there we get yet another one.
21:18This time we get Ray Phoenix in the back talking about the match that he just had.
21:25And from there, Ethan Page attacks.
21:27Well, basically Ethan Page comes out talking trash first.
21:29Then he attacks Ray Phoenix.
21:30And then, of course, Chad Gable comes to the rescue.
21:33Obviously they're setting up Ethan Page and Chad Gable.
21:35My concern there is I feel like they may take the championship off Chad Gable and give it to Ethan
21:39Page.
21:39Now, Ethan Page does need something of substance to do.
21:42He hasn't done much of anything that matters yet.
21:44But he does need something.
21:45Is this how they do that?
21:47Do they give him the Intercontinental Championship?
21:49Have him take the title off of Chad Gable?
21:53I hope not.
21:54I think Chad deserves a much longer run.
21:56But we'll have to wait and see how that plays out.
21:58From there, we get to the main event.
22:00The Bloodline taking on the 946.
22:03Crazy physical.
22:04I love the entrance for 946.
22:06Jada Parker outside like a box truck banging on the side.
22:08And here they come out of the back.
22:10They come through the crowd.
22:11This was going to be full-on brutality.
22:14And it was.
22:15Start to finish.
22:15Top to bottom.
22:16And then we get deep into the match.
22:18And what we get is Jada Parker attacking the referee.
22:24Throwing him over the barricade.
22:26She's laying him out.
22:27There's constant back and forth.
22:28People are getting laid out.
22:29Solo starts really getting the upper hand inside the ring.
22:33It looks like Solo's going to have the opportunity to beat Royce Keys.
22:36He hits his moves.
22:37He's hitting the Samoan drop through a table.
22:39He's hitting splashes off the turnbuckle.
22:40He sets him up for the Samoan spike.
22:42And then out of nowhere, a masked individual comes into the ring and uses a crowbar to attack Solo Sokoa.
22:49And as he's standing there, I don't know why.
22:51I just couldn't see it in his eyes.
22:53And as soon as he removed his mask, the newest member of the 946, Carmelo Hayes.
22:58Somebody who people were theorizing might be getting cut a few months ago.
23:01Thank God he didn't because he's worldly talented.
23:04Carmelo Hayes has now joined the 946.
23:06What a great fit.
23:07I love this.
23:08I think it's great for his character.
23:10And what I really thought was cool is as they were beating down everybody and they're using that crowbar and
23:15like everybody's arms and stuff,
23:16which unless you're going to do a broken arm angle, I think it's kind of silly.
23:19But, you know, as they're holding up Jey Uso, Royce Keys is yelling at him.
23:24He says, tell him ain't nobody's safe.
23:26And obviously he's talking to Roman Reigns through Jey Uso.
23:30Obviously they're going to pull Roman into this feud at some point.
23:32I can't wait to see how.
23:34But this was a really, really good segment.
23:37This was a solid top to bottom part of the show.
23:39It furthered the storyline.
23:41It left you with some intrigue.
23:42I love the new member.
23:43Now, obviously, the bloodline still needs Jacob to come back.
23:47And, you know, they did do vignettes throughout the night of the miniseries and things that they've been working on.
23:52But when Jacob comes back, we're back to four on four.
23:54That means somebody else is going to have to join the 946 so Roman can join and have five on
23:58five for war games.
24:00That's what we know is going to happen.
24:02Now, who is going to be the fifth member of 946?
24:04I don't know.
24:05Or do they just go with Jada Parker and have Naomi be a part of it for the other side?
24:08I don't know.
24:10But there's definitely a lot here.
24:11The show is fantastic.
24:13Top to bottom, I had a couple little baubles where I wasn't thrilled.
24:16But beyond that, if I was given this, again, I've been doing this star rating thing for myself.
24:20I don't care what Dave Meltzer's convoluted system is.
24:22My system is real simple.
24:23I go with my gut and how I feel watching the show.
24:25This was a pretty good show.
24:26So the matches, I wish there were more, but the ones they did have were all quality, top-tier matches.
24:32Even the Chelsea Green-Roxanne Perez match, all of them, they were all fantastic matches.
24:37So that being said, I'm giving this one four stars, four out of five stars, which is mad respect for
24:41Raw
24:41because a couple weeks ago they were at like two, two-and-a-half for me.
24:44And now a couple weeks later we're at a four-star show.
24:46Great show, furthered storylines, started setting things up for the future.
24:49I absolutely loved all of that.
24:51Very, very solid show.
24:52But it doesn't matter what I think.
24:54What matters is what you think.
