[Assistant] The second question from one you is, is it better to provide different answers to each round of back to back interviewers if they ask similar questions? This is kind of an edge case. I don't know. Do you have any thoughts on this Sushant? Is it better to ask?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, to provide different answers. So let's say you have back-to-back interviewers and they ask similar questions. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, yeaah, I would say something similar to that for when you, uhm, eh, just, you know, kind of space it up, change it up, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally, I think it's probably not a problem. And generally, interviewers won't ask you the similar questions. Like, at most companies, they know, the interviewers will know what the other interviewers have asked, and they won't repeat questions. That's how they prevent stuff like that from happening.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's important to me to stress accountability and to always make, you know, practice stressful for the players so that game day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, game day is easy. So those are three things I like to key on. I worked for four different teams, seven different head coaches in college and pros.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm kind of a nerd in that way, but I'm a family man, I'm a reader, I'm pretty boring that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What there is of them. For today's reading, we will take the story of the dancing girl and the two brothers. Now all together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The story, the story. Oh, uh, you, uh, Aisha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Return to me, oh karma, when you are Khalif of Baghdad and I will listen to you. But karma, besotted by love, had taken the jest in earnest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And rebelling against his brother had been defeated and captured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus as Allah had willed, so did it come to pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hody Rhodes and Roman Reigns headlined this episode of Raw with a promo segment, a chat, a face-to-face, a tet-a-tet. And it was awesome. So good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so great, and I am Luke Owen D.A.D. I'm joined by my challenger.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are gonna try and do as best we can on this show, uhm, but Rosie Nichols has unplugged the clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have no idea what the time is anymore. No, absolutely no idea what the time could possibly be. It is impossible. You suggested to me earlier, just before we started, I was like, I don't know what the time is. You said, your laptop is right there, but I have to do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm over 2020 actually, August 1st 2020 I think this watch stopped. And uh, I have a watch that works. So. So there's no way for us to tell the times. We will do the best we can is all I'm saying. Uh, but people who weren't doing the best


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because these guys apparently can do no bad segments. It's Cody Road and Roman Reigns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, no, because I think the other bloodline segment, the THE bloodline segment, is more tied into the Owens and Zayn stuff than it is this one. But there was a couple of bloodline segments, one of which we'll get into a little bit later, but the other one was the wise man, Paul Heyman, saying


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roman Reigns is really happy with everything you guys are doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I've just had a note from Jenna to try and send someone from the office to come and, uh, apparently the chat is saying the camera is super blurry. It looks really crisp here, but... It looks really good. But you know what? I'll try my best. The YouTube latency might be doing us in a little bit. Uhm, but Pete will try and fix us the best he can. Oh, you know, it is blurry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Cody came out immediately. He just said acknowledge me. And that's all he got. Cody came out absolutely immediately to do this. Uhm, and Graves was sure to note that Cody Rhodes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cody is the only threat for this championship. Uh, and Cody...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a really, really interesting question to ask, Roman. Which is, Mr. Heyman has constantly talked about the Cody problem. So, I want to hear from you, Roman Reigns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Define for me, what is a Cody problem? Mmhm. Paul Heyman goes to say something, he's like, I don't hear from you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna hear from you, Wise Man, I don't wanna hear from Mr. Hayman, for you please, just take a step back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Herb Proler. I love it. I love it so much. Which is that Cody Rhodes is what Roman Reigns used to be. A pro wrestler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roman isn't a pro wrestler anymore. He's a fighter. He's a megastar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't need to be a pro wrestler in this business anymore. He runs this business. He is this business. And he had this thing about Cody where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cody couldn't handle things in WWE, so he ran away. Literally says, you couldn't handle Stardust. You didn't wanna do Stardust, so you ran away. So you ran away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ran away and started your own promotion and you couldn't get over there. So you ran away from it. You ran back to WWE and what happened? Pressure got to you and you popped a tit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you ran away again to go get that healed, and then you're stepping up here, and you keep saying that you're gonna finish the story on April 2nd. April 2nd, April 2nd, well that's not the date you need to be worried about. The date you need to be worried about is April 3rd, because that's the day you're gonna wake up and realize that you couldn't beat me. And he said, on that day, you're gonna have to make a choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome, awesome, awesome, excellent little promo here. I loved it so, so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cards on the table. Yep. Yes. Cody's retort was better. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have one slight criticism on this though. Cody opened his segment of the promo saying, yes, I am a pro wrestler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I don't need you to bring up my dad, because if anyone brings up my dad, I will throw up. And I was like, have you heard any of your promos for the last, I don't know, five years of your career? Yeah. Especially every promo you've had since you've come back to WW.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kettle Black, mate! You can't have it being like, well don't bring up my dad, that's a bit of a, a low, that's a low bar, isn't it? I, I kinda, I still kinda liked it, because I think Cody was like, alright, we've talked about my dad enough, can we move on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I will be the first Rhodes to win a world title because his whole point of coming back is his dad could not win the title. I'm aware of that. It's not been every promo though. That's the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also mentioned, he's got no one here. His dad can't come down. Don't talk about his dad, of course. Can't talk about, you know, his dad can't come down and give a bionic elbow to anyone. Can't be there to support him. His brother works elsewhere. If his mother was here, she would tell him that he needs to knock Roman Reigns out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he mentioned that April 3rd is an important date because that's the date that Roman is going to wake up having remembered what it is like to lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what's gonna happen to you, Roman, when you, after that moment? Jay's gonna leave you. Do you know what's gonna happen after Jay leaves you? Jimmy is gonna leave you. Do you know what happens after the Usos leave you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course it is. Great. Yeah, absolutely. Um, and it's because he's going to beat him next week on Raw. And he then goes back to Heyman and he says once Solo goes, Paul Heyman just becomes an advocate again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god, that's good. It was very good. And then, I thought, and this for me was the absolute money moment of this. I'm not gonna say anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roman doesn't know what to say. Roman's got nothing. Got no comeback. So he just drops the mic and he leaves. And he just walks away. Just walks out. He doesn't try to attack Cody. He's not just like, oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rattled from this one statement. Which does tie into the segment that we got earlier that we'll discuss later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roman knows. Roman knows. Roman knows that Jay is not really on his side right now. He's so insecure about it. Oh man, he's so insecure. And when the Usos lose, the tag titles, that's gonna be, that's gonna spell disaster for Roman at Sacrifice and Night 2 of WrestleMania defends the belts. So he just leaves, just walks out of the ring. But Solo doesn't. Solo stays in the ring, much to the chagrin of Roman Reigns, who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barking at Solo to come out and join him out of the ring and Solo doesn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Solo takes off his hoodie, he goes to hit the Samoan Spike, and Cody kicks it out of the way. And says to him, I told you you weren't ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Roman has to hold Solo back, and that's when the show ends. It was so perfect, cause it wasn't even like a strong like, oh I need to hold him back cause Solo's going kind of thing. Solo was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting fired up, he was like, went to go for it. And Roman literally just put a hand on his shoulder and was like, nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come Mania, everyone will lose their belts. Jay and Jimmy are gonna leave. Solo's gonna leave. Romy's gonna have a meltdown. End of the bloodline. My, my big bold prediction. Roar after Mania is when Roman turns on Jay. Yeah?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The user initially declined. Jimmy refused. Yep. And Jay accepted it. Jay accepted it. Nice little bit there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then backwards, uh, sorry backwards, backstage, Roman was with Yusos and Solo and Heyman. Yep. And, uh, Roman says like, not the best start tonight. Mhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and Jimmy talks about how like, you know, hey, I got hurt when we got hit by Kevin Owens and Simon Say, but nothing hurts more than having my brother taken away from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is an incredibly important line. Sure is. Jimmy Uso saying nothing hurts him more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay is back, he's making decisions, but you've got a decision you need to make. Are you still in the bloodline? Are you still my family? And Jay says, yeah, yeah I am. I'm with you. I'm with you. And Roman just looks at him and says, I hope you are. I hope you are. I hope you are. No, because I, Homan, Homan, Roman is not, he's not convinced here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jay gets up to leave. Roman just sort of stops him from getting up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't say it back. Does not say it back. He just gets up and he leaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And asked Roman, did you get your answers, my tribal chief? And Roman says, yea I did. Because that is your Summerslam main event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think one hundo-pee, if I was a betting man, which I'm not, I'm putting good dangor money down on Roman turning on Jay, pulling the trigger before Jay gets the chance to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe. And like, and that'll be, you know, that's something for Jay that Jay's gonna have to struggle with. He didn't pull the trigger when he had the chance and he had multiple opportunities to do it and he never did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Roman turns on him, or maybe it is Jay turns on Roman. And we lead to, and you know, cause the report is Roman has taken time off after mania. Excuse me. And you can bring Roman back then for SummerSlam, Jay versus Roman SummerSlam main event. I think this show, like that opening bit combines


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Does he not think I'm ready? Like, yeah. Cause Roman knows. Well, that's the, that's kind of the beautiful thing about Solo is that, you know, the story is the moment the reports are WWE are protecting Solo Zakharov because he's going to get the big push in this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roman's also protecting him. Yeah. Roman's only putting him in positions that he knows he can thrive in. Yeah. And this is a position where he knows he can't thrive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he went up against Cody Rhodes, like Cody did, is not, is gonna be able to take Solo down. He's got a way to block the Samoan spike that no one's thought of, which is kicking the hand out. Kick him. Yeah. And he's protecting Solo from being exposed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in Solo's eyes, that's just gonna be like, well you don't think I'm ready either. Because Roman's not saying to him, I'm stopping you because of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's protecting him so that he doesn't have to know that Roman might think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's exactly where we're going, and that is why I absolutely adored this show, because it told you exactly where we're going, gave you all the seeds that needed to be planted, and it's a really interesting story. I'm so into this. We were talking just before we started, like you in your edited review gave this a 5 out of 5 show. Easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I, on the strength of just the Bloodline stuff, I would say...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it was really, really good Bloodline stuff. This is like, the most I've really been into this Bloodline story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certainly from a raw perspective since the trial of Sammy Zhang, which I thought was a home run money segment. But I think it also exposes a lot of the porness across the rest of the Mania card, which is that nothing else feels on the level that this is. And I think even across this show, like the majority of this show was a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I thought overall all of this bloodthirsty stuff was great. I thought it was phenomenal. And considering like, you know, as my wife said to me this morning, cause I watched like half the show before I had to take the kid to go see the GP, that she said to me was like, how's Raw? And I said, that's fine. Like it's okay. And I was like, I, we keep, we were saying in the office yesterday, I can't, I keep forgetting that it's WrestleMania next weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this point in time, or at least yesterday when we were having this chat, me, you, Tempest and Sat were just sat around and just chatting downstairs and we were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This segment, this finale segment here, and sort of this episode overall, as I put on the thumbnail title, is Mania Hype. Oh yeaah. This was HYPE! And this got me, legit was like, oh cool yeaah, Mania is next Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what I'm really excited for is Mania next Saturday. It's something that I mentioned in my editor review as well, like if I wasn't already sold on WrestleMania, this sold me on WrestleMania. This bought a ticket. And I genuinely, after this, I think it's kind of a case of like, you know, rising tide


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This could be an incredible show across two nights. I think it's gonna be phenomenal. It's the Triple H method. You do borderline OKTV for weeks on end, then you have a banging pay-per-view, and then no one brings up the fact that the pay-per-view builder going into it wasn't all that great. Except this was great. Which in fairness was what Vince did as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's one of Triple H's great strengths, is that he's very good at pulling the wool over people's eyes to make him look like he's this booking genius, when in reality, the best storyline that's going here is one that he is not involved in. It's the Bloodline, which as was with Vince, is done by Heyman and Reigns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With, you know, with Triple H there as well. Yeah. But everything else on this show I think is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Broadly fine. I disagree. I'll get into why shortly. We will get into that in a little bit. Let's get into your oooohhh C chats to kick off this show. If you want to get involved, head on over to restall.com forward slash support. Um, and we will read out all of your comments above the five U S dollar level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hector Rodriguez has been a member for 14 months in a row. He says, hope you'll have a great day. Is the foundations of the bloodline starting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crumble. Oh, they were starting to crumble a while ago. 100%. Oh, oh yeaah. They've been crumbling more or less since War Games. Yeaah. Actually, in War Games they got like, they had a real good, cause they were all on the same page when Sam and Zane kinda helped them win. And pretty much immediately afterwards. Immediately afterwards. As soon as December hit, push off it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Conjecture that. But still, never give up, Charles. Uhm, yeaah. And also, yeaah. That was a long time ago. On the subject of his dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's the strength of how good this promo segment was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horrendous. It's, it's pretty bad. Uh, and then Cody cut the sperm again, I'm like, no idea, do put the bells on. Yeah, Cody works. I just, I never want to see that t-shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that might go into my top 10 worst t-shirts of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty bad. That is worse than the, uhm, the synchro one with the penis on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's worse than the AJ1 that looks like cum. It's, uh, worse than Val Venis' which was literal cum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think it's worse than, uh, vaginas, vaginas. Uh, I think it's worse than that. It's, um, it's not as good as always panning ass, obviously, as, you know, classic t-shirt designs. But, uh, uh, yeah. Top 10 worst t-shirt designs ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, my favorite comment I've had was someone like, the great wrestling t-shirt designs are the ones that don't look like wrestling t-shirt designs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, like, you want bullet clubs, great. It doesn't look like a wrestling t-shirt design. But if you see someone spawning, you're like, oh, it's a secret code. Bullet club. I know that. I know what that is. This literally tells you I'm a wrestling fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know which one I want more. I think Roman taking the time off. Because the other thing as well, it does have to finish at Mania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A, that's kind of part of the tagline of this is finish the story. You know, it's not just the Rhodes legacy to go and win the WWE title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's also finish the story of the Bloodline. Kevin and Sammy's whole purpose at WrestleMania is to end the Bloodline. If the Bloodline don't end at WrestleMania, then also they've won some tag belts. Yea, and have not actually, like they've come together as brothers to finish the Bloodline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But finished can be different, like if the Uso


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I really would. And actually, yeah, I mean, I said, you know, if I was a better man, it'd be Roman turns on Jay, but if the Usos turn on Roman, that's what writes Roman off TV. Yeah, totally, could be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Powerpackers90 has been a member for 19 months in a row, says Pete then saying 45 minutes of the bloodline out of 7 hours of TV a week is terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what, I think what Power Packers' point is, is that this was 45 minutes of a 3 hour show, right? Uhm, but I think the point they're making is that, you know, 45 minutes out of 7 hours of TV a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being good doesn't make up for the rest of it being bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't agree with that whatsoever. Although having said that, in fairness to Power Packers 90, I would have nothing of the same trip. Oh, couldn't tell ya. Couldn't tell you a single segment they had together. No, not at all. All I can tell you is that the Mania match was quite rubbish. All I can remember is Survivor Series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Sting debuted. And then when you said Metropolis Statue. Yep, Statue. And that's it. And then Mania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no, no, the statue was- Well, that was Seth. That was the Seth feud. Yeaah. Yeaah. So, the trips you always remember is rubbish Triple H entrance, arguably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An overbooked schmars where the NWO helps sting. And it just screams, just get over it will you? And it's ruined by commentary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course he had to. Yea, of course. Because for some reason along the way, someone decided, and again, I think it was probably Triple H,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This has to be WWE vs. WCW. And in that case it's like, well then, you have to win. Obviously. Because that's what happened in real life. Because the WCW guy can't win. That would be insanity. That would be insinuating that WCW is better. And they can't be. Awful. Anyway. But it will never be on worst match ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this episode of Raw kicked off with Best Friends, Kayo and Sami Zayn, and a super hot crowd. And they basically were talking about how, even when we're on opposite sides of the rings, we are always together, we're always linked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether we are fighting with each other, whether we're fighting against each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that's what you always do. Your backstabbers. Your backstabbers. That is what your path has always been, is the pair of you will turn on each other. Which is true. And K.O. challenges them. Well, Sammy says, you're just jealous because you want to turn on Roman, but you can't. Exactly. Which is also true. Which is also true. Uh, K.O. challenges the Usos for a match of Mania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brothers vs Brothers is what KO challenged them to. These brothers taking on you, brothers. Brother. Brother. It's like a Hulk Hogan promo. They're really just getting over the word brother. And Jimmy...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Declines. I said no. Doesn't won the match. Why would we do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Jay thinks about it, and Jay thinks this will be a good opportunity to rid WWE of the Sami and KO problem, so he accepts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really like the framing of the brawl happened and the usos were


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and, uh, this was a point that was reiterated a lot over the weekend. Should be the main event. It should main event night one. Okay, here's a question. If it doesn't main event night one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like the opening match of Night 2. I think you need a hot match on Night 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need the two hottest matches you have currently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most standout match of the night, because they're going to do all of the big, massive, oob-dee-doo, high spot stuff. So they're probably going to have the match of the night, right? Like big as Bucky O'Hare is. I think Asker and Bel Air are going to have the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fair. I think it's the, the, the hottest thing. Yeah. And I think it should be the main event. I'd have it as the main event of Night 1 as well. But I don't think I'd be upset if it doesn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think- You know, I'd be upset. I would just be like, I don't know. Because I think that Rhea and Charlotte are going to go out there to do an ice cold reaction and they're going to have to work extra hard to get the crowd into it. Which I think they can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Austin Theory took on Montez Ford. I'm pretty sure this was done on purpose, but they literally cut to someone not caring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not one, not one I'd make, but I think it probably, I think it has to be an active decision to be done. I like this match. Yeah, good match. Yeah, good match. This was nice. I like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's both. He's really good. Future WWE Champion Montez Ford. Absolutely. Uh, we have the Roman Reigns, uh, Austin Theory one. I'd also just like to point out that Austin Theory had a quick post-match promo and was like, I'm gonna win! Note that for later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I hope we don't have that the next two matches we have. We had all the Roman Reigns stuff and they announced there's going to be a tag team showcase match between Street Profits, Braun and Ricochet, Alpha Academy and the Viking Raiders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also a match where I'm like, damn, that could be really fun. Be really fun. I mean, it- it-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't mean dick, but it's gonna be fun nonetheless. Ah, but I think it will mean dick though, because not only do you have the street


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think it's going to be significant when you look back at it. I think this is a WrestleMania Battle Royale by a different name. Yep, but it should be fun though. Whereas the Battle Royales never are. Uh, Chelsea Green approached Adam Pearce as he was about to put over the Showcase match. And sort of, even though she got Carmella matching ring gear for their tag team match, Carmella was not there. So she's brought in her replacement Piper Nip. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't. Uhm, there probably was something. I'll have a quick, well, scoot around so we can find anything online.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. I did laugh at this though when uh, when uh, Chelsea Crean said, so I want to have Piper Nimmin as my tag partner, so I need to get you to ask whoever is in charge to make this match official. That feels like, I don't have any more time so I need to tell you, but it's me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His hands are massive. His hands are real big guys. He's well tall, taller than some NBA players. Crazy. And he's got massive hands. His hands! Brock Lesnar's hands. The biggest in UFC history. The gloves! X, X, X.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something like, you know, you can't see John Cena, but I'll make sure I see him. It was not that, it was better. But it was like the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ali didn't get an entrance. Corey Graves made fun of him for doing a cover of Hoobastank in 2023. I thought Mr. Friley's video was very funny. So, F you Corey, I thought it was great. Here's my one note I would have for this. Here is my point I would like to make. Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick's podcast told us, Marks, this match isn't for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that's the case, then why does no one react for Amos' matches? Because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're trying to say then that people that attend raw shows are casual fans, they're not reacting to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So who is it for then? Because it's not for the hard cause, you've told us that. And I'm listening to this casual audience not react to a moss. So who is it for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I thought this was supposed to be with The Miz. I'm pretty sure, and people can correct me if I'm wrong on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm pretty sure, Miz said last week, Impulsive TV's gonna be on next week and I'm the guest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uh, Miz tried to approach Logan Paul and he didn't want a handshake from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Logan Paul went out and did some of your local sports team stuff. I think that is unfair, because I think Logan Paul did actually a very good promo, which also incorporated cheap


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also said the word dork, so he, you know, got a pop out of me. Well, yeah. But he was also saying, like, I don't have to be here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then actually no, the fact that he's only 28 does make a lot of sense because he is a tool. He is, yeaah. Uhm, I'm making him being facetious of course. Uh, Seth!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like messing with the microphone. And then he says, Oh, I can do another button. I've got to press it. Press the button and his music plays. He makes his entrance. Uh, and in that he also turned Logan Paul's mic back on cause Logan Paul's mic was working again. And they, uh, what have we got here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's cause he was playing a clip of him knocking out stuff, yeaah. Yeaah, and then he replayed a clip of him knocking out stuff. That's why I thought the segment went long, cause there was loads of stuff. Which, he was being super obnoxious. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they got into a brawl, uh, Seth did a dive on some extras, they basically missed him, and then Paul knocked Seth out with the one level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're such a heel. You're such a heel. I thought he came across mostly as the baby face here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dominik Mysterio and Damian Priest walk backstage, and then Dominik Mysterio had a match with Johnny Gargano. I think this is where we're going to disagree the most. Well, here's, eh, okay. I know everyone was surprised that Dominik Mysterio won, but Dominik's got the big WrestleMania match, Johnny Gargano hasn't. Why is everyone surprised?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's all the reaction I've seen to this, but like, of course Dominic Mysterio is going to win this. Dominic Mysterio has a high profile match at WrestleMania. Johnny Gargano is mid-card filler. He's got a match at stand and deliver. He's got nothing at WrestleMania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He isn't. No. Has not been presented as such, and you can't just do that. Well, Johnny Gargano is another, he is one of the most Hello Pro profiles Triple H brought back for a One Night Pop. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, even Braun to a degree, like I know Braun's doing stuff, but not really. There are just, uh, a hit row. There's just like a bunch of guys that he brought back to just be like, yeah, we've got a one night pop out of here, but I've actually got nothing for you for WrestleMania. So you are just there to lose to the people who do have stuff for WrestleMania players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, didn't mind it. Fine. Uh, but the thing I really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mentioned this on my edited review last week, which is, how is Dominik going to get Rey to accept this match? Because Rey has said no. He's not going to fight his son. Even though Dominik is doing all of this dastardly heel stuff to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he's asked his dad for a match and his dad said no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now he's gonna ask his mum to get his dad to accept the match. That's good comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll be threatening his mum, probably. Well, there's a mysterious segment on Smackdown. All the family are gonna be there on Smackdown. Great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this is the other thing you thought we might disagree on. Because you thought this promo was very, very silly. I thought it was so dumb. I thought this promo was also dumb and very silly, but I enjoyed it for its campness. This promo was like from an FMV game for the Mega CD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I uh, this is really dumb. I didn't like it. The thing that made me laugh the most is that Edge thought this was so cool. Like, Edge finished up there, watched it, was like, I look so awesome. 100%. I look so, so cool in this. And I've written, I'm almost paused now, I want us to look at 10 bits and be like, Christian's better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So good. Yeah, proper, proper Mega CD vibes from me. Or Sega CD from our American viewers. Wonderful. I, I, I didn't like what came next. Um. Yeah, this was weird, wasn't it? So. I guess Rhea Ripley's a babyface now. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is 100% a babyface. No babyfaces and heels in WWE anymore, Luke. It's all in your shades of grey. I think we talked about this with Alpha Academy last week, you know, the flip-flopping of just like, babyface one with their heels. Someone's like, oh no, that's what a tweener is. No it isn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Categorically is not what a tweener is. Um, but yea, she came out and kind of baby face promo against a heel Charlotte flair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she is talking about the fact that she is not getting, uhm, is that Flair has got no respect for her. Like Flair...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think it's just the promo which had against Flair made her feel like she is the babyface. It made Flair feel like the actual heel in this match. Maybe that's just because Flair should always feel like the heel. I mean, yea, it's Charlotte Flair. So, you know. And I guess Charlotte Flair never feels like a babyface? Never. Uhm, so I don't know, but like, I think coupled with the promo and then the match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Combined together, it just made it feel like this was a presentation to make Rhea Ripley feel like the baby face of you. Because if, well, my question then would be, P, if this promo was to make Rhea Ripley feel like a heel, why would she look like a baby face in the mountains?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, I completely agree with you on that sense. But then the structure matches where she is the baby face. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's badass. So, but no, no, no, they structure her like she's the babyface in peril while the heel is working over her. Yes. That is counterintuitive to presenting her as a badass. So in this match,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bailey's in control, headlocks, you know, rest holds and things like that. Which means, the structure of the match was, Rhea Ripley dominates, Bailey took over, and then heals shenanigans, and then Rhea Ripley overcomes the odds and wins. And there's a babyface trajectory. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, but she had to overcome the odds and looked very cool doing it. I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm just saying that it is counterintuitive to the promo. I don't think any of this particularly worked, outside of, really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think- But maybe that's the point. I think this segment worked for one thing, which was making Ria look awesome. Mhm. I think that- Which is needed. Which I think- But I think damage control, Becky, Trish and Leta got absolutely nothing in this segment. Actually really- Absolutely nothing. Hurt the storyline massively. Absolutely, yeaah. I thought this was really bad for all of them, made Ria look great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty weird. You've literally got a Dakota car right there to do this with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think I'd have probably booked her against Dakota Kai. Or Oreo Sky, like it doesn't, it's not great either way, but if you want to have it be an established name, better than being those ones. You alright? Let's just glance at the chat. Luke put the spade down. What is Luke cooking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say, cause I said this on the Edited Review last week, they need to send it for Rhea Ripley. Oh yeaah. Cause like Rhea Ripley standing on the outside last week was not great at all. At least this did actually put her in a position where she cut a promo and won a match. She did a promo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wrestled a match, not in her gear because she wasn't ready, and won. She looked so cool!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love it. Uh, Chad Gable's walking backstage to find Otis and found him getting a manicure because he's gonna be a hand model with Maxine and the Maxima male models. Chad Gable's got himself a match with Ricochet. He's like, look, Ricochet's gonna be out there with Braun Strowman, so I need my number one guy with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maxine walks in and Otis is presented with a choice. Do I go with Maxine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Andy Kaufman is going into the Hall of Fame, and then we got Chad Gable versus Ricochet. You'll never guess what lads, this one was dead good. Oh man, you know, this actually got a This Is Awesome chant, and I did not expect it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean this was a match that was like, well above like, these should be just lower mid card fodder. Because this match was dead good. Uhm, I love this. Although I did find Corey Graves, bless his heart, was put in a real tough position. Because Alpha Academy are heels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, they're sort of the baby faces now, but Corey Graves still supports them, and as the heel commentator that makes them feel like heel. But Maximale models are also heels, so he has to present both of the arguments as correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yes, Maxine did come out and brought us to take Otis backstage. Distracted Chad Gable so that Ricochet could hit him with the Shooting Star press for the win. Very nice. Great match. This next one sucked ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, they also talked about how Bel Air is going for the three-peat at WrestleMania, which means, uh, WWE are watching the Monday Night Walk confirmed. That works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For all of the good that Triple H has done for this company, it will always be WWE. Let me tell you how this match began.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We come back from the ad break and Piper Niven and Chelsea Green are at ringside having made their entrance. And then Bianca Belair's tag partner Asuka makes her entrance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possibly do that. Possibly have done that. My final note for this segment was, this build is the buttest of butt ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can we get a poll live? What did you think of the show? Pete, you gave this a 5 out of 5. I did, because the thing is, the Bloodline stuff was so good, and I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I would disagree on some of that. I think I'm, I think I'm wrong on the Rhea Ripley thing. Like I'm pretty sure I'm hugely wrong on that, so that's fine. But like it was, it didn't, I didn't really love the segments. I will say as well, it did feel a bit weird. After it I was like, that's great for Ripley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not sure if I would have booked that, but you know, that's great for Ripley. And you know, it didn't really work for me, but for me, I thought the Bloodline stuff was excellent. As always, the Bloodline stuff was muy bueno, very, very good. And I thought the rest of the show was totally fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, oh, like really? It's a three out of show, four out of five show, but with that, uh, the bloodline stuff, I just have to give him this five out of five cause it's dead good and it is how you're leaving folks and that is how they left them. I thought that was really, really good, but yeah, the rest show was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole, the Scott Hall, uhm, Stunner Cell. Yeaah. Great stuff on there. Great opening match with RvD and William Rue. Terrific stuff.

[Assistant] Did you realize that a medical bill, uh, meant that you didn't get your power card paid?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes! I realized that me signing medical bill- Pete, when you signed medical bill, uh, he became your lowest ranked guy, uh, and that's why you didn't get the power card. Uhm, I don't know if you know this, Pete, but that's what happened.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're gonna do something, I think they're gonna do, I mean the big angle probably will be to split the bloodline. I'd say so. I think they're gonna have something real big. That would be how I would end The Raw After Manias. Bloodline splits up forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this show, this is from Jake Lloyd, or Jack Lloyd rather, uh, this show, not the guy from Star Wars, this show was mid with a very good bloodline segment. Why does the build to all three women's matches suck, especially Bianca and Asuka? Someone who is sick of Brock and never liked a moss, how has the match built so much better than Rhea and Flair? Woah. Better? I'd say it's built better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say the build for Brocken and Moss has been better than Ria Charlotte. And better than Azkabele. It has been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most superficial build you could possibly have. But that is better than doing nothing.

[Assistant] Tyler Willison says, This is the closest we will ever get to a major AEW vs WWE spectacle. Cody's aura about him is heavily embedded with AEW's past. Doesn't add much to the actual story, but I find it very fascinating as a layer to the whole situation. Go Cody, go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you see Pete, uh, by signing medical bills. That's why he didn't get that card. I don't agree with Triple H cooling it off, like this was always going to be the story progression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still think people are brilliant. Did you hear the pop when they hugged? Yes. Now.

[Assistant] Not at all. I think that is always going to happen. Yeah. Post elimination chain. Absolutely.

[Assistant] C.J. Thornton, hey boys, loved the Bloodline storyline so much, with Jay being the most tragic character I've seen in WWE for a while. Absolutely loved this show, minus, but how will they co-exist? Also adored the Drew and Brute parody, poor Ridge. Hashtag jam that jam. Hashtag team medical bill. We're all team medical bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, B.M. Whitehouse said, I can't wait for Lesnar and Amos to end up being Pete's favorite match-o-mania. Also, is the wrestler in the midcard that you feel has too good of an entrance theme for them to be stuck there? Mine is Sonya Deville. She has final boss level music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gone very badly. It's gone terribly wrong. Um, I, I, BNYS, like I appreciate, uh, your chat and everything like this. I, uh, maybe it's just because I am of a certain age. Everyone's entrance music sounds the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Solo Soko is not a mid carder, but his entrance music is banging. Big fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Small afro games. I'm the only one brave enough to say this, but I'm unironically excited for Amos vs Lesnar. I am a proud member of the Omosapiens and I'm sick of the homophobes trying to slander my ace. That man is a spectacle and a lovely human being. Do the job, Brock. I think a lot of that sounds like you're ironically excited for it. It really does sound like it.

[Assistant] Yeah, it's really cool. Still not doing, but Conan inducts Rey Mysterio. Conan's in poor health as well, so Conan inducting Rey Mysterio, like they have got the link. I know that people are like, should be Batista, should be Edge. No, no, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should be Konan. Konan should be the guy to do this. And Konan is inducting Rey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just after they do all the, you know, the actual Hall of Fame bits, Dominic and the Judgement Day attack Conan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Smackdown? I think so as well. Because they've got Aleah and the mum involved. I think that's when it'll be done, it'll be done on Smackdown, but I don't hate this idea of them attacking Conan at the Hall of Fame. Yep. John Wick 1GM says Dom gets the match with Rey having Rhea put his sister through a table. That's a fun shout. Ben Greenwood, I really enjoyed this role. No. Dom should put her through a table. That's also fun. Yeah.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't matter. Doesn't factor into his character. Exactly, yeaah. And it's something that Pete mentioned earlier, which I completely agree with. It's the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've been kind of like, you know, this whole Roman thing, we've been looking like, well when's the time? When is the time for this to end? Who's the guy that can do it? Who's the guy that can do it? And we found the guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lots of other bloodline things. You know, Drew felt like the right guy because he was in the right place at the right time in Wales, in Cardiff, but that was hometown, but it was not the right time for the bloodline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it wasn't. And it wasn't the right time when...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is the right time now. It is time for the bloodline story to end. I think that this is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they've done really, really well with this as well because people want to see Cody win. Exactly. Cody is getting the reactions that you want from the guy who was going to dethrone Roman Reigns. Exactly. That's very, very good.

[Assistant] Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Chapter 59


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He touched it so softly that I was not heard, and looked in unseen. There, smoking his pipe in the old place by the kitchen firelight, as hale and as strong as ever, though a little grey, sat Joe, and there, fenced into the corner with Joe's leg, and sitting on my own little stool looking at the fire, was I again. "'We give him the name of Pip for your sake, dear old chap,' said Joe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Delighted when I took another stool by the child's side, but I did not rumple his hair. Had we hoped he might grow a little bit like you, and we think he do. I thought so too, and I took him out for a walk next morning, and we talked immensely, understanding one another to perfection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I took him down to the churchyard, and set him on a certain tombstone there. And he showed me from that elevation which stone was sacred to the memory of Philip Pirrup, late of this parish, and also Georgiana, wife of the above.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biddy," said I, when I talked with her after dinner, as her little girl lay sleeping in her lap,--"you must give Pip to me one of these days, or lend him at all events." No, no," said Biddy, gently,--"you must marry." So Herbert and Clara say, but I don't think I shall, Biddy.

[Assistant] I have so settled down in their home that it's not at all likely. I am already quite an old bachelor. Biddy looked down at her child, and put his little hand to her lips.

[Assistant] There was something in the action and in the light pressure of Biddy's wedding ring that had a very pretty eloquence in it. "'Dear Pip,' said Biddy, "'you're sure you don't fret for her?' "'Oh, no, I think not, Biddy.' "'Tell me, as an old, old friend, have you quite forgotten her?' "'My dear Biddy,

[Assistant] Nevertheless, I knew while I said those words, that I secretly intended to revisit the site of the old house that evening, alone, for her sake. Yes, even so, for Estella's sake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had heard of her as leading a most unhappy life, and as being separated from her husband, who had used her with great cruelty, and who had become quite renowned as a compound of pride, avarice, brutality, and meanness. I had heard of the death of her husband from an accident consequent on his ill treatment of a horse.

[Assistant] A cold silvery mist had veiled the afternoon, and the moon was not yet up to scatter it. But the stars were shining beyond the mist, and the moon was coming, and the evening was not dark. I could trace out where every part of the old house had been, and where the brewery had been, and where the gates and where the casks. I had done so, and was looking along the desolate garden walk, when I beheld a solitary figure in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The figure showed itself aware of me as I advanced. It had been moving towards me, but it stood still. As I drew nearer, I saw it to be the figure of a woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The freshness of her beauty was indeed gone, but its indescribable majesty and its indescribable charm remained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those attractions in it I had seen before. What I had never seen before was the saddened, softened light of the once proud eyes. What I had never felt before was the friendly touch of the once insensible hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After so many years, it is strange that we should thus meet again, Estella. Here, where our first meeting was. Do you often come back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nor I. The moon began to rise, and I thought of the placid look at the white ceiling which had passed away. The moon began to rise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought of the pressure on my hand when I had spoken the last words he had heard on earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Estella was the next to break the silence that ensued between us. I have very often hoped, unintended to come back, but have been prevented by many circumstances. Poor, poor old place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The silvery mist was touched with the first rays of the moonlight, and the same rays touched the tears that dropped from her eyes. Not knowing that I saw them, and setting herself to get the better of them, she said quietly, Were you wondering, as you walked along, how it came to be left in this condition? Yes, Estella. The ground belongs to me. It is the only possession I have not relinquished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything else has gone from me, little by little, but I have kept this. It is the subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the only determined resistance I made in all the wretched years. Is it to be built on? At last it is. I came here to take leave of it before its change. And you? She said, in a voice of touching interest to a wanderer. You live abroad still? Still. And do well, I'm sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I work pretty hard for a sufficient living, and therefore, yes, I do well. I have often thought of you, said Estella. Have you? Of late, very often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But since my duty has not been incompatible with the admission of that remembrance, I have given it a place in my heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have always held your place in my heart," I answered, and we were silent again until she spoke. I little thought, said Estella, that I should take leave of you in taking leave of this spot. I'm very glad to do so. Glad to part again, Estella? To me, parting is a painful thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, the remembrance of our last parting has been ever mournful and painful. But you said to me, returned Estella very earnestly, God bless you, God forgive you, and if you could say that to me then, you will not hesitate to say that to me now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be, I have been bent and broken, but, I hope, into a better shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be as considerate and good to me as you were, and tell me we are friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are friends," said I, rising and bending over her as she rose from the bench. And we'll continue friends apart? said Estella. I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as the morning mists had risen long ago, when I first left the forge, so the evening mists were rising now.

[Assistant] End of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, we can talk about anything sexual and it's like a no judgment zone. So whatever you're into, it's not like, ew, or that's weird, or why are you into that? It's more like, uhm, we just embrace it and we talk about it and it's very educational.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey everyone. Okay, cool. I think we're now live. I'm just gonna go ahead and check, uh, on the PMSN page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this is a live PM lesson mock interview where we do live mock interviews to help you guys learn how to mock interview better with product managers all around the world. Today I'm with Namisha. Namisha, why don't you start off, maybe you can just introduce yourself while I kind of get the system set up and running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, Namisha and I work together on Hack Mental Health, which if you guys don't know is an organization dedicated to mental health innovation through technology. Uhm, so it's a great cause and purpose also for technology and for product management if you guys are looking for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but today we're focused on the interview specifically, so uhm, I know some of you guys are just joining in right now, but as you guys join in, feel free to ask questions, comments, likes and hearts, we can see them on our side, and it helps us also. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the question that I had in mind was, uh, design an alarm clock, uh, for the visually impaired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we're gonna go through that question, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of talk through it and after the end of the session, I'll provide feedback. We can also have questions and comments from people watching in as we go through it too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so whenever you're ready, and again, this is a PM lesson, live muck interview. The purpose for the folks listening in and for the folks watching is that it's meant to be an educational experience where you can learn about how product managers answer questions, uh, like this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's up to you to choose if you want to be physical or not physical, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's focus on the single, let's focus on one product for now. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I would focus on engagement metrics, so like, uhm, usage, basically, and uhm, that people are actually purchasing this product, that people are getting the product, that whatever we create.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I guess, so it sounds like we're leaning a little bit towards, like, the software solution, if that's right. Like, uhm, or I don't know, I'm curious, like, how do you think about, like, the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotcha, cool. Okay, that makes sense to me. Yeah, I think that makes sense. I'm down to move on now to kind of, now that we've sort of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a general scoping and general sense of kind of what we're trying to go for, like, uhm, maybe we can dive deeper into a little bit about the vision of the product and then, uh, how we would actually think about features for this product and how we'd prioritize those features.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so it sounds like we're, we're prioritizing by like accessibility being, or like ease of use being one of the important traits, basically, is that right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, cool. That makes sense. And I'm curious, like, do you see this as something that could be used by, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Visually, like not visually impaired people, or is that, like is this specific to the visually impaired?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeah, uhm, sounds good. I'm done with the follow-up questions. You can keep going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. I love that you thought through the uhm, I-I'm sipping a little bit outside my interview hat right now, but like I love that you're thinking about the power and all those kinds of aspects of the physical product. Uhm, so just taking that hat off right now because that's something that I think people don't think about when they think about this kind of stuff. But interview hat back on. Uhm, cool. Makes sense. I see that. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so we sort of listed out a bunch of, a bunch of like features and aspects to it, like uhm, so how are we going to think through?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, and, and sorry by the way for the folks listening in. I know I'm freezing in and out a bit, but I think Namisha's still, uh, able to be communicated and, and put up, put up the van. Uhm, sorry for the, if any freezing issues happen again. Uhm, we'll try our best with the, with the bandwidth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, okay, that makes sense. And, and yeaah, I think uhm, I think it's a good point to like step out of our shoes and be like, okay, we're not, we're not a blind or visually impaired user, so like, how do we...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're kind of speculating empathy here, we're kind of thinking about another user, but we're not actually that user. So I guess I just had one last follow-up question, and then we can kind of kick it to other folks, and I wanted to keep this a little short as an example so that people can actually chime in on other stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Building that empathy, like, what would you do? Like, what were the steps that you would take kind of as a PM if you were in charge of this product and you don't know any visually impaired users or visually impaired folks? Like, I know you say like talking door to door and that kind of stuff. Like, are there any other tools or insights that you would want to gather that might be useful here? You might think about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's really important as a PM not only to just come in and, you know, in these interviews it's kind of artificial where like, what would you do in this situation right now? Like, and like no one knows what they're gonna do right now, right? Like, but, you know, what are the steps that you would take to find out the information so that you could make that decision? That's almost more important than the actual answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, so I want to take a break now that we're, so thanks to Misha for doing the interview. Uhm, in just a moment I want to have people from the audience or people listening in to give questions and comments. Uhm, so I know there's like about a few of you guys watching the video right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'd love to get your comments, questions, follow up questions for any of us, uhm, as we continue talking for a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so please comment now if you have anything, even if it's just to say hi. We'd love to say hi and do shoutouts and that kind of stuff too. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the meantime, otherwise, Namisha, uhm, is, if, if people watching this wanted to connect with you further, where would they go or how would they connect to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, Justin, I think Nemesha's a little, I think you might be frozen or having technical difficulties right now, but uhm, in just a moment I'll also provide feedback as well. But, Nemesha, so uhm, the question, so sorry, we're going a little bit in and out on the bandwidth, but we're mostly okay, it like stops in 10 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, basically what I wanted, what I asked is like, how would people follow you or find you online?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, Namisha, we have follow-up questions for you, so uhm, I hope you're ready. Uh, so, the commenters, so uhm, Manil has a question about how would you measure success for the project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, uhm, Manil, hopefully that answers your question. Next up, we have a question from Dhruv that I also was going to ask as a follow-up to. Uhm, why wouldn't you use OK Google? Or why would this product be different from an OK Google Google Home and that kind of product? Or like, how would you distinguish the products?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think, I think it speaks to a good point, which is like, the reason that people use physical alarm clocks still is that they're reliable, right? Like, uhm, okay, Google is not quite there yet, like, uhm, and maybe it is for some users, and I think it tries to be, but like, it's not,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, perhaps doesn't have the voice recognition that you want or all that kind of like safety hatches if you wanna go. I know we were talking earlier and I wanted to mention in feedback too that we mentioned like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, having the backups is really helpful too. So kind of like pitching it as a reliable, like separate device could be really cool. And then, you know, when we talked about, and for you, Drew, too, like when we talked about like, uh, moving it to an app.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually later, I think that's what we were considering, kind of like, maybe it could be an app on OK Google or it could be a voice app or that kind of stuff too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. So, and maybe, maybe there's something unique there about it that, like, uhm, that we'd have to rethink through, like, how, how can it be, still be a unique feature, unique product? Uhm, I also like the point about portability, too, that, like, you can take this thing with you. Uhm, but I, I think that that's a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a good question, Drew, because it's like we're currently in a state where like you're between a world of all voice assistants and a physical world and this product is kind of sitting between them and it's unclear where that voice world will go and like if it will go in the right direction, that kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, okay, I have, we have two more questions and then I think we'll cut it off. Uhm, if you have any last questions, now's the chance. Uhm, so Manil has this follow-up question. How would you go about launching this product?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think, I think yeah, that could be a whole separate question. We could like do a whole question on just going to market for like that kind of stuff, so uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can follow up or check out the course online at pmlson.com if you want to check out more, kind of go to market questions too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have one last question, uh, but I don't quite understand it, Dhruv. So your question is, okay, I see, I see. So Dhruv is asking, how do you answer acquisition questions for products like, say, Google Photos, et cetera? And I asked him what he meant by acquisition, and he's saying, acquiring more users for an existing product by approving it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, if you have a product, how do you improve it to get more users for a product like Google Photos? I think it's, uhm, I don't know if, do you have a quick answer to this, Namisha, or a thought on this? Like, uhm, I think, well, you might be frozen right now, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, yeaah, I think that's a good answer. I think, uhm, yeaah, user empathy is like kind of the core of it. So like, how do you understand the product or the users more? And then you can start thinking about, you know, how you acquire more users.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, okay, well thanks Dhruv and Monil for the questions and thanks all who are listening in and watching in. Uhm, this video will be available later for you guys to record and to check out also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as Namisha mentioned, check her out on her Instagram account, techgirlhustle. I got that right? Yeah, okay. Uhm, and if you guys want more content like this or more useful PMUK interview stuff, you can check out pmlesson.com where we host a ton of great resources just like this one. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey guys, I just wanted to follow up and, uh, add some feedback since I didn't get to edit during the session with Namisha. Uhm, overall I think that this interview went really well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I would say, some pieces of feedback that I wanted to add to Namisha if I, if I had more time, uh, would be, I really like the point about using transcendent kind of design, so like, the idea that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, a tool for visually impaired should be just as good for the visually non impaired, so people who can see well also will really enjoy using this product and may adopt this product as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Designing a product that tackles both of those, uhm, really well and just really makes something so accessible that it's beautiful and used by everyone is actually a really awesome way to go about thinking about a product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I also thought the conversation around physical versus software was interesting. Uhm, in general, I think that, you know, you can't go wrong by choosing software because it's just so popular, but like in this particular use case, I think Namish made some points about reliability, uhm, about the portability of the device.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think really what we need to do to really understand is like, empathize with that user a little bit better to understand what that user looks like and how they think about using their smartphone, all that kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the voice activated, uh, part with, you know, backups was really cool. So the idea that, you know, you have a fail safe in case the voice part doesn't work. That's something that a lot of Google homes and Amazon Alexa's don't currently have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I also thought that the conversation around power and the physical hardware product was good. I think it's important to think through these kinds of things because uhm, you know, it's a physical product. Plugging it in is such a small thing and seems like an edge case, but like has a huge implication for how a person goes about using that product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and ultimately I think the empathy point is really good, the point at the end about how can we step out of our shoes and think about this user actually and do research and how would we go about finding that information given that we don't have the information right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other point that I wanted to make would be around kind of structure. And so I know, let me show outline the structure in the beginning, but it's always good to kind of reemphasize that structure throughout. So like now we're in the part where we're talking about trade-offs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're in the part where we're talking about prioritization and really making that clear as opposed to kind of, uh, jumping through them in a sort of fluid manner. It's better to just make that structure really clear as you go through it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So ultimately, I think, you know, Namisha did a great job. Those are kind of my main points and I thought she really aced it and had some interesting thoughts to say on some of them. Uhm, and you know, a little bit more structure would help and a little bit more kind of about the empathy and interweaving that throughout the answer would have made it, uh, even better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of WWE Raw. Usually it's meant to be me and Luke doing this show, uh, because we lost at QuizzleMania, boo hoo hoo, we're reviewing Raw, Tempest and Pete are reviewing AEW until All Out. But, uh, everyone's off this week, so double Andy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We recorded that episode of QuizzleMania before Vince McMahon stepped down, before Triple H was named head of creative. This was meant to be a punishment, but as we can see, it's actually one of the more exciting things to happen in the recent history of WWE.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please, if you haven't already, give us a subscribe, press the thumbs up button, leave us a comment down below if you're watching On Demand, and send in those Ultra Chats to WrestleTalk.com forward slash support, or read out every single one of them before the end of the show over 5 US dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of your stinking Canadian ones. Right, so first off, this was just a very coherent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Episode. Like the- because the bar has been set so low by WWE over years and years and years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This wasn't like a mind-blowing excellent show. This was like what the baseline of a good wrestling show should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No never, it's always a chore. I mean like, there'll be the occasional thing where I'm excited, like when Cody Rhodes, like you know, like the roar after WrestleMania for instance, but really,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not like, I just want to see the moment how it's paid off. I'm never excited about long term stuff in WWE because of the track record that they never pay off on it, or play off on it as you say. But with Triple H I feel like that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That has been wiped clean, that slate, and it might also end up rubbish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a month's time, they might not revisit any of the things they've set up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yes, but that does nothing wrong with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is certainly a possibility, but the exciting thing right now is that we don't know, so we can dare to dream! And that's what a lot of the excitement is for, particularly in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this episode was constructed in a way. Usually 3 hours of raw is a slapdash smorgasbord of unconnected, meaningless moments. Here's some 24-7 title stuff. Here's Veer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a 15 minute promo which says nothing, which leads into a DQ finish match. Yeah. Nonsense! This whole three hour- there were only four stories on this whole three hour episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had the women's division stuff, all into over with each other. The US title stuff. You had Seth Rollins' riddle, uh, street profits, and then you had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Mysterio's Judgment Day Saga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was all that happened on this show, and it just was such a breath of fresh air to let those things breathe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It probably, probably, but not, not to this extent. The good ones as well. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] WWE have done, under Triple H's guidance, is they don't have a world champion. Really? On Raw? Both belts are on Roman Reigns. He doesn't show up a great deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So smartly, and this is what I thought they were gonna do back at Wrestlemania when they got themselves in this situation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raise a secondary or midcard title to fill its place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is the first proper episode I would say of the Triple H era, and that is immediately what he did with the women's division, which we'll talk about later, and the US title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who would have thought that I would be so excited for the United States Championship?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I imagine there were some plans for him, but they didn't get to do it. So the, what happened on the show with the US title was two three ways. The winners of the three ways would face in sort of the second hour main event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the winner of that getting to face Bobby Lashley for the title next week. So already you're like, oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're setting up stuff for later, you're setting up stuff for next week. The two three ways were Ali vs The Miz vs AJ Styles which was terrific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always thought, hey, the wrestling, when the bell rings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's always good stuff in WWE. It's the finishes, it's the booking, it's the not getting over characters, that's the problem. Uh, but you know, when they're wrestling, I think generally,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A decent, like, they have decent matches. At least one or two a week on an episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This match, which was the first match of the Triple H regime, let's say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really was a step up from the usual in-ring work. And that just caught me by surprise that it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it can be so much better in sports entertainment world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the finish was, Miz is down, Ali hits a 450 splash on him, but sort of in the recoil, bounces up into AJ Styles' arms, and he hits a styles clash on Ali


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the styles clash is quite a contrived clunky move to set up, like I'm gonna get you up here and now get your legs like that. You almost have to help the other person. So to get in a position where you are hitting a genuine from out of nowhere styles clash, like it's as easy to do as a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A cutter. Very impressive. Of course AJ Styles won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Match started, we got a really nice video package talking up the United States title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] JBL voiced it over all the lineage and the history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I agree. But I love this US title video package. It's actually my favourite thing on the whole show. I loved it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Logan Paul also got a little sort of promo in the entrances here saying he loves Racine, he'll be back. He got cheers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he came in and I was like, who's this celebrity? And then he did really well and he's got quite an affable, nice presence about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the utmost respect, does not have a nice presence about him. He's very smarmy looking. And yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but yeah, probably coming back for a match at the castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second three-way was later on, that was Dolph Ziggler vs Tommaso Ciampa vs Chad Gable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not as good as the first match, but I- really still good, like, it was non-stop, there wasn't a single rest hold on this episode, no lockups or tests of strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and Champa got the win. I thought a bit, like, predictable, but not in the way that it ruined the match. It was just, oh I know he's feud him with Styles, it makes most sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Champa got the fairytale ending on Gable to win. It cut to two guys in the crowd. I thought the crowd sucked, unfortunately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you look at it, it makes sense, because how many people who go to WWE shows, families, kids, are really keeping up to date with the machinations of who's in control backstage? Very, very few, I reckon. And then they see a guy like Ciampa, who's been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And nobody, unfortunately, on the main roster, and he wins, of course they're gonna go, oh cool, this is gonna be, don't blame the crowd, I've seen a lot of people, it's a process, you've gotta build


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but it did cut to two guys in the crowd which really made me laugh because everyone else was sitting down going like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then of course those two had the number one contenders match later on. Booker T came out for commentary, and I was like, this is insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm enjoying Booker T on commentary. He is. And he was here as well. But it was just the idea that they brought out a former US champion to be on commentary for this match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just that extra bit of detail on the presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I think it was the right move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, like, maybe this is Ciampa's push that he gets. They used all the music budget on bringing back Metalinger. But then, really good match, I thought. AJ jumping into the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, don't do a crappy deep, like a finish like this. He makes it in, and Tommaso Ciampa immediately fairytale ending. And he wins. Ciampa is facing Bobby Lashley. Next week for the US title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, screw it. I'm gonna wildly speculate and get hopeful. I think this will be the main event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it'll go like 15 minutes and I think it'll be built up all show and I think Champa wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Clean? You think he's gonna beat Bobby Lashley clean? Maybe not clean, maybe like he exposes a turnbuckle or dastardly champa. Are you reviewing with me next week?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, what if Johnny Gargano comes back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bobby got a promo afterwards, which was fun. I think a lot of people are cutting better promos. Bobby's cutting the same promo. Look how big my boobs are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, let's get into your thoughts on the show folks. WrestleTalk.com forward slash support. We'll read out every single one over five US dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are the chats? Uh, I put them in the, uh, in the rules as well. There it is. That's the wrong one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] CFC Nay? Hi guys, Triple H taking over WWE is not bad news for AEW. I think it's the opposite. Less talent available to be signed by Tony Khan will mean a focus product, which it hasn't been. I think AEW was at the peak of its power when it was just a small roster. Thoughts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, it's already got a roster too large. Most of those guys are signed for five, seven years or something ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So no, I don't think, I do think this is a bad thing for AW.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John Wick 1GM. Triple H is going to have a tough task training the main roster audience to care about wrestling again due to the maniacal tyrant telling them wrestling doesn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the, the sort of wrestling side, the love of pro wrestling is going to come pretty quickly because it's so exciting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem I think they're gonna face is the characters. No one really is over in WWE, let's be honest. Especially not the guys they're probably gonna push now like Chamber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's a process of getting those people over properly in front of this audience. That's not something that happens instantly. You've already done the debut. You can't just have a shock thing. Here they are. You've got to first undo Ciampa's booking so far, then build him up to be serious. And then even then that's like a three, four month process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, so many people have gone on over with that act. Yeah, Bala, Rollins, obviously Seema.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so let's get into the main show. Keep sending in your Ultra Chats to WrestleTalk.com forward slash slash support. The show kicked off with Becky Lynch coming down to the ring, her arm in a sling and she said, yeah, I did injure myself. Have you seen the picture?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said it was like one of the most painful things she's ever done, but not as painful as realising how separated she had become from reality, just as a character beat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, she, she welcomed Bellaire out, uh, and they hugged again and Becky walked off just saying see you soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably surgery. You'd think so. Yeah. Four or five months maybe. Royal Rumble return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I've always thought Cody is the main story to telling that Royal Rumble return. I don't know if you want- He might not be in the women's match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bianca Belair got a short promo. I thought she was so much better than usual. Because she didn't have to stick to as much of a script it seemed. But she was interrupted by the control faction. They attacked Becky. Was that their name? It seems to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what Bailey kept on posting on social media. And then Braun Strowman replied, your narrative?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had the US title stuff, then we had Seth Rollins vs Montez Ford. Seth came out gloating about injuring Riddle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the street prophets, who were friends with Riddle, came out and said, well, we want to face you. Seth said, you should break up. Again, this is like the 14th tease we've had. And then the prophets did sort of rock, paper, scissors to decide who would face Rollins. And they go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two. And then Montez 4 just runs down. Grab the rare. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, when I saw that, I honestly thought, oh, it was a distraction thing. But everyone else has pointed out, no, it's further in the Dawkins split. Because in no way does that work as a distraction. Because you've gotta run 20 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've already had a babyface run in the tag team. I think he might.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not be one dimensional, but I think it'll actually be tougher as a baby face to get over in singles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Champa's gonna win the title next week and Montez is turning heel. What, next week? Not, maybe not next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Uhm, so Montez Ford had a match with Rollins. Dawkins wasn't anywhere to be seen. I wish, like, if they are telling that story, they should have probably had one shot of Dawkins just going, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was weirdly immediately absent. It's not really a good sign for Dawkins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nope, we're not even caring about how you feel. Uh, so Ford, they had a- I thought they had a really good match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Montez Ford showed great fire, kicked out of the Falcon Arrow buckle bomb spot, which was good. Just like everyone always does. But the Frog Splash, is it an effective move? It seems like he takes the same amount of damage as the opponent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can imagine it does hurt, as well. Yeah, I love it when they sell it, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but Rollins got the knees up this time and got the win and Seth was gonna continue to beat him down but Dawkins came down for the save. No split, no heal time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In hindsight, it makes the SummerSlam loss a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Seth is obviously going to have Riddle, Roman's obviously got True.
