Welcome to Tag Team Talk
Speaker 1Welcome to the Ben and Bash Podcast Tag Team Talk.
Speaker 2I'm.
Speaker 1Ben I'm Bash. It's time to lace up your boots and hit the mat with the Ben and Bash Podcast Tag Team Talk.
Speaker 2All right, here we are for another one. We are going to be doing our predictions for Saturday night's main event, yep, you know. So they only come around what, what like?
Speaker 2four or five times a year, maybe yeah so they used to do it back in the day. Only time they came on record tv was saturday main event. So they're going to be doing a um, I think a simulcast with nbc and peacock. So it's going to be a lot of commercials, so just because you gotta get that part of it. But it's gonna be a lot of commercial breaks which you're not gonna be used to during the matches of a PLE event.
Speaker 1But yeah, this is barely like a premium live event.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's kind of like a special presentation kind of thing.
Speaker 1It's almost like a bumped up SmackDown.
Speaker 2Yeah, but just matches.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, with no promos or anything but uh.
Drew vs Damian: Steel Cage Rivalry
Speaker 1But yeah, let's get to it for the first match on the card, it's damian prees versus drew mcintyre, and it's still cage match. And for this one, um, this rivalry has been going on for what feels like an eternity. But um, personally, I think the story is just built up to this point and I think this is going to end the rivalry.
Speaker 2Do you agree? Yeah, I think so. I mean, I mean hope, so Right I mean for Damien's sake, cause you know Drew don't let anything go, he's gonna. Because you know Drew don't let anything go, he's going to keep fighting until he wins regardless, Damien's sake. Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1Damien does.
Speaker 2I mean Drew's the one who started it back up.
Speaker 1Is it really though?
Speaker 2Damien thought it was over with.
Speaker 1No, that was Drew. Remember he went after the US title title and then Damien Pritchett attacked him on SmackDown.
Speaker 2Yeah, but I mean they both, they both. Neither one of them wanted to finish it yeah so neither one of them, neither one of them was done. But you know, here we are. So, basically, Damien just did the same thing to Drew that Drew's been doing to everybody else, so neither one of them was ready to force the end. But so, yeah, this should be a good one, though I mean, it's not going to be the best match, it's just going to be one of those hard-hitting spectacle of a match.
Speaker 1I mean, depending on the other matches, it might be the best match, but I know what you mean.
Speaker 2Yeah yeah, it could be the best match as far as like just matches, but Steel Cage match. Usually those aren't the best match as far as like just matches, but still cage match. Usually those aren't the best match as far as like just pure wrestling.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, definitely for not wrestling but like the entertainment purposes.
Speaker 2Yeah, so you got who you got going for that match.
Speaker 1I have a Drew McIntyre winning, and potentially winning this entire rivalry.
Speaker 2Winning the entire rivalry.
Speaker 1Yep.
Speaker 2Hmm.
Speaker 1Okay, Drew McIntyre's just been on a slump of losing rivalries. Just think about it Seth Rollins, CM Punk and he's been pretty bad in this one too, with losing, Except for WrestleMania.
Speaker 2Yeah, I can see that. I can see that that makes sense. So you got Drew winning.
Speaker 3Hell yeah.
Speaker 2Who do I got winning.
Speaker 3I mean.
Speaker 2Damien needs to win more.
Speaker 3Does he?
Speaker 2He lost at WrestleMania? Yeah, he lost at Mania. When was the last time he won Since he lost the WrestleMania? Yeah, lost at mania. When was last time you won? Since he lost the world championship?
Speaker 1I imagine has he won hey, he was a lot of matches as he yeah, that's what.
Speaker 2I'm saying he hasn't won many. I mean something, damon needs it more, but do I think he's going to win this match? I don't know. I mean, drew's been on a tear recently. I think he's trying to get back into the title picture, but there's nowhere for him to go right now. So he's kind of stuck in the Well. He's not stuck because Jacob is bringing the United States Championship up a little bit. So it's not really saying he's stuck in the mid-card, because that's not really a mid-card as long as Jacob and LA Knight know guys?
Speaker 1Yeah, because they've got a lot of time to shine, since John Cena is a really part-time champion.
Speaker 2Exactly so Jacob and them guys were kind of it's not really a mid-card belt right now.
Speaker 1It's kind of a yeah, it's like the main attraction, Exactly.
Speaker 2Exactly so, um I I want to see Drew and and and and and, and I want to see that robbery, yeah, so, as much as I want Damien to win, wait, what do you mean?
Speaker 1you said you want, you see, drew McIntyre or Damien Prince against Jacob. I want to see Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu so what makes you think that that would elevate him to go against Jacob Fatu if he just takes a fat? L Drew McIntyre.
Speaker 2No, he's not. That's what I'm saying. I want Damien to win, but what I'm saying is I want to see Drew and Jacob more. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1In my eyes, he's the number one contender, yeah that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2I want Damien to win, because he needs to win more, but I just want to see that Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu even more, and I want Damian to win.
Speaker 3So I mean it's a hard pick to pick.
Speaker 2I'm going to pick Drew McIntyre for the win In a hard-fought battle.
Speaker 1Yeah, I pick Drew as well, but um Wait, is that Drew the same?
Speaker 2for that.
CM Punk & Sami vs Rollins & Breaker
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm done with that one yeah, for the second match on the car, it's CM Punk and Sami Zayn versus Seth Rollins and Brian breakthrough with Paul Hume in their corner. So this new group of Seth Rollins, I don't think we got to talk about this but this new group of Seth Rollins is like people are saying it's like evolution type, but they get to add a third.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was just thinking that evolution had a third, but the problem is okay. Here's the problem, though. Here's the problem. Here's the question. Yeah, okay, evolution, yeah Right, who's the original Evolution?
Speaker 1Ric Flair, triple H Batista and Randy Orton.
Speaker 2Okay, mm-hmm. So are we saying Paul Heyman's Ric Flair?
Speaker 1Yeah, because he's the oldest, the veteran.
Speaker 2Okay so, and then we're saying Seth Rollins is Triple H.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1And then Brown Breaker is Batista in my opinion.
Speaker 2Batista yes, they need a Randy Orton, mm-hmm. So who's their Randy Orton? I know who I think should be their Randy Orton. What do you think? It's not going to happen. But I know who I think should be their Randy Orton. Who Austin Theory?
Speaker 1Oh yeah, that's what people have been saying Austin, theory should be, but Hold on, can I talk about something? Yeah, what On Raw, do you remember? Austin Theory was getting like. Austin Theory chants in the crowd.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean him and Grayson Rawler. That's a long breakup. They should have been broke up.
Speaker 1Maybe they'd do that at SummerSlam, like there's people who are like, actually like one in Austin, like on SmackDown I mean not on SmackDown, on Raw. There was two people chanting for Austin.
Speaker 2I thought that died down. Yeah, that should have been a breakup. That should have been a breakup last year it seemed like, but I don't know, but uh, maybe somebody we're not thinking about.
Speaker 1Yeah, people have been throwing out, people like Heron Cross, even Ethan Page.
Speaker 2Ethan Page is a good one. That is a good one, ethan Page. I was thinking about something about NXT. Ethan Page is a really good one. Mm-hmm, ethan Page is a really good one.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2I mean I would say you could bring up Randy's son, but he's kind of stuck in a robbery right now at NXT.
Speaker 3Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2Miles Bourne. I thought you were saying, but I wasn't sure that's what people call him, randy. He looks kind of like a smaller version of Randy Orton yeah, he kind of does he wrestles like Randy Orton a little bit. He does the power slam and all that kind of stuff. Only thing he doesn't do is the RKO if he starts doing that, he even has the bald head, like old Randy Orton.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2But, um, but yeah, I don't know. Um, yeah, they need to get a fourth member, maybe that, maybe that fourth member debuts tonight.
Speaker 3Well, I think so.
Speaker 2Maybe, or they may, because SummerSlam is August, so August, I thought it was June July. No, the next one is Money in the Bank. Money in the Bank is the next one in June.
Speaker 1I thought SummerSlam was always in July.
Speaker 2It may be in July. Sometimes July, sometimes August it varies Kind of like WrestleMania, sometimes April, sometimes August. It varies, yeah, kind of like WrestleMania is sometimes in April, sometimes in May.
Speaker 1I know, for some reason, or sometimes March, sometimes in March, sometimes in April. Sometimes. One time I remember SummerSlam was in June, for some reason, yeah, like right after.
Speaker 2Money in the Bank? Yeah, I'm not sure. It's usually June, july, august sometimes, but so Money in the Bank is next month for sure, or is it this month, june?
Speaker 3Yeah, so it's June and then, oh yeah yeah, it's in March, so it has to be.
Speaker 2June. So, yeah, june is Money in the Bank, and then you have Summer Slam, which is July, august.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2So they have about another month or two before Roman comes back, or about a couple weeks before Roman comes back, roman's going to come back eventually and he's going to be at SummerSlam, we know. Roman comes back Roman's going to come back eventually and he's going to be at SummerSlam. We know that. Obviously he's going to be at SummerSlam and he's going to feud with Seth Rollins and Ron Breaker in that group. I'm pretty sure he's going to join CM Punk and join that group to fight Ron Breaker in that group to fight.
Speaker 1Brown Breaker and that group Right? No, that's all you write Right Now. Here's the question.
Speaker 2Do they drag this out into Survivor Series? That's a long drag out. They would have to. They would have to break it up a little bit and have them go out to individual titles, yeah, and like and do other things. And then have them go out to individual titles yeah and like and do other things and then have them come back.
Speaker 1I mean the bloodline, drug it out until survivor series and also kind of the judgment day, because they, because they, um, because they were like fighting, oh, it felt like almost like a year straight on every single monday I mean the bloodline, drug it out to survivor series.
Speaker 2I don't see why you can't drag this out with those guys, especially with CM Punk and Seth Rollins and Sami.
Speaker 1Zayn. Yeah, but they would have to have, so I think there's going to be a third member, right?
Speaker 2There has to be, or a fourth member.
Speaker 1Yeah, technically.
Speaker 2If we count Paul Heyman.
Speaker 1Yeah, if we count Paul, it's probably going to be Cody Rose on that team with Roman Reigns and all of them, if they do decide to put him on the team.
Speaker 2I don't think Cody Rose is going to come back on the team. He probably won't come back to that.
Speaker 1You don't think so. No, no, oh, probably Jey Uso. Yeah, probably Jey.
Speaker 2Uso, maybe no, he's going to be. He got the bill.
Speaker 3Ohlam, he's going to have his hands full for Money in the Bank.
Speaker 2Is the Money in the Bank going through the wrestling? It's Money in the Bank, right? I have no idea. Yeah, money in the Bank, but uh, yeah, I mean, roman Reigns is going to come back. We know that, but he's not coming back right now. Maybe Money in the Bank, maybe after that, but he's going to be back before SummerSlam, we know that for sure. Yeah, but um, yeah, I hope that fourth member should debut tonight.
Speaker 1I think they should hold it out until SummerSlam.
Speaker 2No, SummerSlam is when they had a match with the fourth member oh. Well, unless you want to drag it out, but you have to drag it out with just them three. Yeah, drag it out, but you have to drag it out with just them three. I mean you can, because you have Paul Heyman, seth Rollins, cm Punk and Sami Zayn. You got four good talkers and four veterans who can easily tell a story and make it compelling, and all that good stuff. So I mean technically, yes, you can do that.
Speaker 1But yeah. But for who to win the match? I have Seth Rollins and Braun Breaker.
Speaker 2Yes, that's a pretty good one.
Speaker 1Especially with the ever-limit presence of a fourth member, and also Paul Heyman, you know.
Speaker 2And it's just Braun Breaker and Seth Rollins.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean it also is CM Punk and Sam, to be fair.
Speaker 2Unless they bring Roman Reigns back tonight. No, unless, it's like a Saturday Night Main Event.
Speaker 1But I think it's too small of a show to bring Roman Reigns.
Speaker 2Exactly. That's why I don't think either. So if they don't, if nothing, if nobody debuts or anything, paul.
Speaker 3I was going to say Paul.
Speaker 2Brown Breaker and Seth Rollins wins. Yeah, for sure. That's who I got to. I got doing the same thing. So Paul Brown Breaker, seth Rollins wins easily. Not easily, but you know, they win just cause they're more, they're a team, they're actually working together. Yeah, and CM Punk already has trust issues. Exactly, and then Sami Zayn does too, so we know how that goes.
Speaker 1Yeah, and is that what we're going to see?
Speaker 2Yeah, that's it for that one.
John Cena vs R-Truth Predictions
Speaker 1And for the next match on the card, it's John Cena versus R-Truth in a normal one-on-one match.
Speaker 2They finally did it what they finally let R-Truth in a normal one-on-one match. They finally did it. They finally let R-Truth wrestle, his childhood hero.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1But yeah, there's something I was going to say. I tried to remember. I saw one person on social media say that little Jimmy was going to turn on R2.
Speaker 2Hey, he could. Who knows, I mean by this being a. So here's my, here's my thought. Yeah, by this being a non-title match, something's going to happen.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly Because, like, like it being a non-title match, because like why not just slap the title in there? But if they're going to have a non-title match, it's like almost the chance that R-Truth can win, but like I don't see it.
Speaker 2Like it's almost like that little carrot right there, like it's almost like R-Truth is going to win this match because it's a non-title match. Yeah, but it's also like it's a non-title match, so it's like R-Truth could win it. But it could just be just because John Cena won't put the title on against R-Truth because he didn't earn it.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2It's just a fight. John Cena's supposed to fight him, you know, just because you know, out of respect, but why not give R-Truth? Here's my thing too, though, like why not give R truth? Here's my thing too, though, like why not get our truth to respect to get him a title match? Uh, I don't mean the man has been busting, the man has been putting work in for 20, over 20 years in wwe yeah, does he have a longer career than john cena?
Speaker 1about the same, about the same.
Speaker 2I know, I know he's older than john, than John Cena. About the same. About the same.
Speaker 1I know he's older than John Cena.
Speaker 2It's about the same. As far as WWE goes, it's about the same. Well, he left, remember he? Well, you don't remember, but he was in WC. Oh true, he was in. He was cake quick. No, I'm not saying WWE, not WWE career overall overall, I think he has a longer wrestling career than John Cena, but WWE, I think, is about the same because he was in I can't remember WCW or he was in either WCW or WWE first yeah he was.
Speaker 2He was K-Quick. I think it was WWE first. Yeah, wwe first. He was K-Quick. He left there, went to TNA when TNA first started, which was early 2000.
Speaker 3Yep.
Speaker 2Became R-Truth or Ron Killens there, rather not R-Truth, ron.
Speaker 3Killens.
Speaker 2Mm-hmm, Became world champion oh he did. He was world champion in TNA or NWA at the time Mm-hmm, the same belt that Joe Hendry has right now. He was champion and then came back to WWE and hadn't won a world championship since. So he's literally been in WWE putting work in for years and hadn't sniffed a world championship.
Speaker 1I mean he's won some mid-card belts since he's been there and he has won 54 24-7 championships.
Speaker 2I'm pretty sure yeah the greatest ever 24-7 champ, but I mean he's put in work and so like, at least give him. I would have gave him the respect. Obviously he's not going to beat John Cena for the belt, we know that, but at least give him the respect of putting the title on the line for, have it say, world championship match. But by being a non-title match, it's kind of it's kind of looking kind of like it's going to be some kind of some kind of um, something's going to be happening. It seems like you know, wait a minute.
Speaker 1I don't know why, but I could see Travis Scott coming at it.
Speaker 2No, he's done, he's done.
Speaker 3Love you right now.
Speaker 2I don't think he's, I don't think he's coming out right now. I don't, I don't think, I don't see that right now but there just has to be something. Why would he come? Why would he come out, man? I mean he could with the whole R-Tr thing.
Speaker 1There has to be something.
Speaker 2I think something's going to happen by being a non-title match, but I think it may be going against John Cena, you know what I mean. But yes, I think it's going to be going against John Cena and maybe I just don't see R-Truth beating John Cena, even in a non-title match.
Speaker 3Okay, here it is R-Truth, beating John Cena even in a non-title match Maybe okay here it is R-Truth wins by disqualification.
Speaker 1There it is, yeah, yeah yeah, I think that's going to happen.
Speaker 2There it is he wins by disqualification.
Speaker 1I don't want to see that happen. I think that could be the way R-Truth wins, and also, you know, yeah, I definitely see that happening now that you said that, but I don't know. I just want to see a full match between these two. Yeah.
Speaker 2I just got a feeling that John Cena's going to turn a super heel and just like beat, because R-Truth is like one of the biggest babyfaces in the company.
Speaker 1Yeah and hold on. R-truth does not get the credit. He in the company. Yeah and hold on R-Truth does not get the credit. He can put on amazing matches.
Speaker 2Of course, that's what I'm saying, and so I think that John Cena is going to destroy R-Truth.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know about destroy, but I think it will end in defeat.
Speaker 2No, I think he's going to like turn super heel and get the crowd like Like squash match, no offense, but the crowd is still cheering John Cena yeah, he has to do something to get the crowd to turn against him, to boo him. Yeah, because right now they're still cheering for him. And so if he was to take out R-Truth and destroy R-Truth one of the biggest babyfaces if that doesn't turn the crowd against you, nothing will.
Speaker 1Even with Randy Orton, he couldn't turn the crowd in his hometown.
Speaker 2Exactly, that's what I'm saying. They were still cheering after John Cena. They were still cheering for John Cena.
Speaker 1I would find that disrespectful if I was Randy Orton in my hometown.
Speaker 2Exactly so. That's the problem. You're right here too.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2So I'm going to go R-Truth winning, but body qualification Because John Cena beats him down so bad that the ref stops the match.
Speaker 1You know what? Actually, I'm going to just go playing out John Cena, john Cena, yep.
Speaker 2Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1Wait a minute. Have we picked the same people?
Speaker 2Except for this one. Yep, Except for that one we just picked.
Speaker 1I don't want to lose from this one match. You'll be all right, I just don't lose. I haven't lost in a while.
Speaker 2You lost at WrestleMania. What are you talking about? Oh, yeah, I got swept at WrestleMania, didn't I, mm-hmm?
Speaker 1Oh shoot, how did I get swept at WrestleMania weekend? I forgot about that.
Speaker 2You know why, but go ahead.
Speaker 1Are you sure I got swapped? I think I won one of them.
Speaker 2You got one match Okay.
Logan Paul vs Jey Uso Analysis
Speaker 1You got one match, I think, or a couple, maybe one or two matches maybe yeah, but yeah, so I'm going to say, I'm going to say R2, just so I don't lose but then it's going to be a tie, so I'm going to say, jonathan, okay. It works For the next or for the main event. I'm saying Jey Uso versus Logan Paul for the World Heavyweight Championship. Logan Paul's winning.
Speaker 2I'm just kidding. No, he's not winning, okay, okay. I don't want to see you on the side. He's not winning.
Speaker 1No, he's not winning, okay, okay okay, no, I'll, just, I don't want to see you on the side. He's not winning. No, go ahead, I agree. But for a second I was thinking like what if Logan Paul did win? He's not winning. And then I remember the Saturday night, yeah.
Speaker 2I mean this would be a time to turn a title, but I just don't see Logan. I mean Logan Paul is probably going to win a title eventually because, hate him or not or like him, Whatever you feel about Logan Paul, he sells tickets.
Speaker 1Wait, hold on. You can get back to that, but I feel like if this was at Money in the bank, I would see logan paul winning yeah, if this is a bigger, if this is a bigger ple, then logan paul had would have a better chance.
Speaker 3But yeah, a way better.
Speaker 2But what I'm saying is like, whether you, like logan paul, dislike them, hate them, don't care about them, whatever the case might be, yeah, people pay money to still see them. You know, it's kind of. It's kind of like. It's kind of like the old, like Floyd Mayweather, for instance. Right, yeah.
Speaker 2Like people who like Floyd Mayweather, people that hated Floyd Mayweather, it didn't matter. People bought. People bought tickets to see them and people bought the pay-per-views to watch them. Either you watched them, you wanted to watch them win or you wanted to watch them lose, but you still bought tickets and paid money for their previews. So, whether you hated them or you liked them, you still watched. That's how Logan Paul is Whether you like them or you don't like them, you still watch them.
Speaker 1I know this one person who goes to wrestling shows just to boo Logan Paul.
Speaker 2Of course, a lot of people do that.
Speaker 3But yeah.
Speaker 2So who do you got on this one?
Speaker 1Oh yeah, I obviously got Jadon, so Jadon.
Speaker 2So, mm-hmm, anything, just straight up match.
Speaker 1I think Logan Paul uses the brass knuckles, but it doesn't work.
Speaker 2Think Gunther or anybody like that interferes in the match.
Speaker 1Nope, surprisingly. No, I don't see that happening. I think Logan Paul tries to use brass knuckles. It works, but it just doesn't put Jay away.
Speaker 2Gotcha, gotcha. Okay, I'm also going with Jey Uso for the OP. Obviously, do you have any?
Speaker 1interferences Gunther like anything.
Speaker 2I mean Gunther may come out. I don't think he's going to interfere, but he may come out to try to just distract them. But I don't think he's going to actually interfere in the match. I think he respects the ring enough not to do that. But I think he may come out just to put his face out there.
Speaker 1And why do they build up Logan Paul versus Gunther so much it wasn't really a build up.
Speaker 2It was just Gunther letting Logan Paul know that I don't like you. I don't care who you are. If you win, I'm going to destroy you too.
Speaker 1He was kind of buttering up for a second.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's what I'm saying he logan paul thought he was buttering up to him, but gunter was letting him know if you beat jay uso, I'm gonna beat you up like I did pat mcafee yeah, he didn't beat up yes, he did. He beat pat mcafee up. Did you not not hear Michael Cole screaming stop the match, stop the match. It's over. Did you not see that? Did you not hear that Pat got some?
Speaker 1decent offense.
Speaker 2He did, but it was almost a squash match, not really. It was close, it was just like a sloppy like. A sloppy squash match. Yeah, exactly. So that's what going through is telling logan paul if you win, I'm gonna do the same thing to you. So good luck. And jay was already knows what the deal is. He's already fought going through many times yeah so but yeah, so I got jay was so winning going to being out there, not interfering in the match, but just being out there showing his face yeah that's all you have for that that's it.
Speaker 2That's all I got for that alright.
Speaker 1Well, that's the end of the show.
Speaker 2Surprisingly, only four matches on the card yeah, like I said, it's like a special attraction, more so than an actual PLE, cause it's not really a. It's like a simulcast for NBC and Peacock, so it's going to be a lot, of, a lot of commercial breaks during the matches. So you're going to it's going to be a lot of, it's going to be a lot of matches that you're not going to be able to see the whole thing it's going to.
Speaker 1It's one of those things to drag in older fans like old well it's gonna be for people who don't have, who don't have Peacock either.
Speaker 2It's so you can. It's so you can be on regular. This is on regular TV yeah so, whether you this is on, whether you have cable or Peacock, after night you can watch this. If you have it's a regular antenna, you can watch this, it's on.
Speaker 1NBC. See, I do not like this show because it has commercial break. It just draws me away from the entertainment.
Speaker 2That's the point. But it's a regular TV. So here's the thing. That's why wrestling comes on cable, Like SmackDown comes on USA.
Speaker 3Yeah, it still does.
Speaker 2SmackDown comes on USA. Unless you live out of the country, it comes on Netflix. Then Raw comes on Netflix. Nxt comes comes on USA. Unless you live out of the country, it comes on Netflix. Then Raw comes on Netflix. Nxt comes on CW. Yeah, you know, all of a sudden come on cable, because with network TV the commercials are a little different than it is with cable TV, and so that's why. That's why Saturday Night Main Event is a little different, because the commercials are a little more.
Speaker 2they don't really care about what's going on, they only got a commercial yeah you know that's like right when football is on, like they kind of try to go commercial doing timeouts if they can or they have a. So if you watch, if you so I know now we're talking about wrestling right now, but if you watch football and basketball, right, they, if you ever watch them, you know you watch them they have what they call TV timeouts, remember.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2That means that's not a timeout, that's not the team's timeout. That's the TV, that's a TV show, the station NBC, abc, cbs, whatever Fox, that's the channel that the sports is on telling the game. Hey, hey, you should go on commercial break, so y'all stop playing wait, it actually does that yeah that's what tv, that's what this? What tv?
Speaker 1timeout me oh, I thought I thought it was just for the viewers. I didn't know. They actually stopped playing.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's what tv timeout means it's a timeout. It's a free timeout that the players get because it's a tv timeout I haven't seen that. Yeah, wait is it just?
Speaker 1commercials. Is it just commercials? Is it just the commercials? Even in like the play?
Speaker 2Yeah, now, sometimes they might still play, sometimes they might still play, but a lot of times they'll stop playing.
Speaker 1Yeah, because Because Wait a minute. Yeah, I'm thinking of that. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2Usually they call TV, because when they have commercials timeout, they'll actually stop the game. Sometimes that means the timeout's a timeout. You know so. But wrestling's a little different. You can't stop wrestling in the middle of the match. No, no. You can't stop in the middle of the match. You can't have Logan Paul and Jey Uso wrestling and then be like hold on, y'all. Stop for a second.
Speaker 1And just lay down and they relax.
Speaker 2And they relax in the middle of a commercial. You can't do that, so you have to keep wrestling. So if it's a commercial break in the middle of that match or the CM Punk match, the CM Punk and Tammy Zayn and yeah, that definitely wouldn't make sense, because they want to tear each other apart. Exactly. You can't say oh hold y'all, the commercials gonna come on, y'all need to stop for a second.
Speaker 2You can't do that yeah so it's gonna be a commercial break in the middle of a match. See, the smart thing to do would be to wait until in between matches yeah, like yeah, then why don't you just do that? Because it's not enough commercials. You need more commercials.
Speaker 1That would be one, two, probably five commercials if they spaced it out good.
Speaker 2Exactly so you need more than that, so you have to put something in between the matches.
Speaker 1Do they, though? Five commercials sounds pretty good.
Speaker 2Nah, you still need more than that, though. That's the problem with being on network TV, just like on regular TV, like when they're on cable. They can kind of space it out based on what's going on. I mean, even on see, remember, even when you're watching Raw and SmackDown, it goes on commercial during the matches. Yeah, but this isn't a Mara Smith and this is a kind of PLE.
Speaker 2Exactly, but it's the same concept though, where it's going on commercial during the match, so it's going to go on TV takes more, more commercial breaks. I'm pretty sure yeah but anyways, got to subject a little bit there, but yeah, well, anything else to add uh, nope, I think that's it alright. So, with that being said, I'm Ben. I'm back in the episode of Tag Team Talk.
