Which brings us by the way to Madison Square Garden last night where CM Punk did have his first match in WWE in a decade and unsurprisingly he beat old Dominic Mysterio with the GTS and cut a promo afterwards which we’re going to talk about here in a

Moment but uh the rest of the show had Becky Lynch beating Zoe Stark Kofi beat ludig Kaiser Katana chance and Kaden retain their titles over Chelsea and Piper which was a WWE women’s tag title match Omas is still around he beat Our Truth squashed him MVP said he would pay our truth

Money if he could knock Omas off of his feet and Truth could not so he I love it you got to pay a ticket You Gotta Buy to see Omas he’s not going to be on your TV screen you got to come out to the the

Locals to see Omas Ria beat Shaina and Ivy Nile and a three-way to retain the title Finn Balor and Damen priest beat Sami Zayn and Jay Uso for the Tag Team titles so Sami Zayn back in Action is noted yesterday he was taking some time

Off but he’s back for uh I think five shows CM Punk beat Dominic with the GTS that was underneath Ricochet beating Bronson Reed Cody rhods beating shinsuke nakur in a bull rope match and the main event was Seth Rollins beating Drew no DQ no count out retain the world title and

Then he dedicated his win to the memory of Brody Lee and Bray Wyatt and for those asking why are we recapping WWE House show who cares well this was the most successful non-televised WWE show in the history of WWE dating back to 1963 it did uh absolutely gigantic

Business 16,000 people they drew more money than any other non-televised show ever and uh that’s pretty big they’re uh they’re on fire right now so now we head to La for a lot of people Madison Square Garden still means something and even though it’s not the McMahon’s of Y who

Now have the promotion in their hands to sell out Madison Square Garden to break records monetarily at Madison Square Garden is still a big deal and it’s a great Bell weather for them and they are extremely hot right now look they were able to be in Baltimore

On the same night and have Randy Orton there and have a whole card there as well too but they treat that show as if it’s a big deal and it was a big deal and at the box office it was a gigantic deal and they had Cody in a bull rope

Match the first one they build there since 1978 when his father fa Superstar Billy Graham so CM Punk’s return they did a really good job building this up and marketing this up and frankly this whole Holiday Tour I think they’ve done a good job with and you know they’re on

The way to Boston and Detroit I believe it is tonight so we’ll see how these continue to go but it they seem to be doing again maintaining the heat that they have leading into Royal Rumble I can’t figure out if people are trying to downplay this or not by saying that they

Charged a lot of money for tickets no k well yeah of course yeah a Skates of all time have all been cuz they paid a lot of money yeah and now more than ever you’re P more for more for any entertainment dollar but like you know

Aew is charging a lot of money for tickets in Canada they’re not selling them they they spent they look there were a lot of tickets for a lot of big money for all out guess what they sold those so like it it is a big deal and

Right now when it comes to WWE anybody trying to like you know throw shade at what they’re doing live attendance wise no matter almost no matter where they go is just being silly all right a couple of other notes here and then we will talk about the NXT show after the break

Goldberg does not like Vince McMahon called him a piece of s very very unhappy a sandwich well you know he’s got a lot of things he’s mad about Vince is like Dana White he said he’s a big boss he makes everything happen but all honesty he gave me the to

Put my wife and my son in the front row gave me the ability to perform and get in front of them I home everything till we went to Saudi Arabia and he asked me to put Roman Reigns over and I had covid I remember calling from my house here

And I said listen here’s the deal I’ll do it if you give me a retirement match so I put myself in a horrible situation to get what I wanted but to satiate him and to give him what he wanted problem is he never held up his part so Vince is

A horrible person as far as I’m concerned so I guess he was promised a retirement match well can he have one and just retire and get out please well I think that’s what the idea of his retirement match would okay whenever that Israeli thing happens

I wish all the best to him I think it’s awesome go ahead with yourself bill you never really like the business anyway you were able to get a lot out of it and frankly when he gets right down to it some of the characters you had to deal

With and how you came into the business I get it you didn’t respect it I know that that’s great you’ve Juiced enough out of it I don’t care about your retirement I I think there’s a lot of people who don’t care let’s just hurry

Up get this out of the way and then you can go be happy doing what you’re doing doing acting and doing all the great philanthropy that you do for other people go ahead and do that this guy says he hopes a henchmen tonight are the kingdom and then they all come down with

The wheelchair and the neck brace in their henchmen outfits and then claim it’s not them problem is it’s not going to happen and also why would you claim it’s not you if you won the Tag Team titles guess possible they won’t win the Tag Team titles God this is just drawing

On forever Tav and Bennett should be the RO B Tag Team Champions I mean that should be the case and I would assume in no matter what happens here they will end up being part of this henchman’s Army but oh my God I hope they have something great for the reveal at the

End because this is feeling like some later portion of the NWO meeting the black scorpion and for those kids out there who don’t remember the black scorpion don’t go back and look it up because it wasn’t very good but you know what it was from it was from the 9s WCW

Cage match where uh k V Eric got the door slammed on his head and we were thinking about continuing to review world class for another month cuz apparently it gets hot after that angle I hear yeah but then this person here notes for what it’s worth the main event

Of the next World Class episode is Andre the Giant Bugsy mcra and Carrie von Eric versus Terry Gordy King Kong Bundy and Bill Irwin Wild Bill H with General scandar acbar baby how about that watch it look those aren’t it would be entertaining even with that combination and I am not
