This past week a Twitter follower asked Meltzer why Pete Dunne versus Tyler Bate at NXT Takeover wasn’t a 5-star match. Meltzer replied by saying that they’re “only supposed to have one or two of those a year”. Russo says Meltzer is like a Chef who rates restaurants and can only give out one 10-star rating per year.
Lane plays a clip of Wade Keller, who gives his opinion as to why people love Rusev all of a sudden. Amongst other reasons, Keller says that as a fan you just want to squeeze Rusev’s cheeks. Russo is fairly certain that not one other fan of Rusev will justify their love for the performer by saying that they just want to squeeze his cheeks.
Next, Alvarez is heard talking about Asuka’s recent half English/half Japanese promo. He said Asuka’s Japanese promo was better than half the females on the roster, and Meltzer jumps in saying that it was better than most of the males on the roster as well because WWE creative couldn’t script it and her delivery was great. Russo laughs and says that people must be completely out of their mind to pay to listen to Meltzer’s opinion on a weekly basis, especially if he puts over Asuka’s promo from RAW this past week.
Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin talked about Braun Strowman on one of his audio shows this past week. He said that when Strowman walked out on RAW recently the situation and crowd reaction reminded him of Steve Austin during the attitude era. Russo is blown away by this statement, and doesn’t understand how those words could ever come out of Satin’s mouth. He points out that a famous attitude era moment like Austin driving the beer truck to the ring on RAW will be quite difficult to replicate.
