The Rock joining the bang bang rock paper scissor gang!
Who is the paper?
@@craigisapunk, Roman is the paper. He can't win by himself so he's a paper champion.
@@bonusbaby801 actually genius
Rock is coming to kick Daddy Ass out of the group!
Dan is wrong and Tempest is right lol, we would not say “July 13.” We would of course say July 13th or the 13th of July.
yeah lol we don't say 2 we would say the second lol o dan
Yea I've never heard anyone outside little kids who don't know better say that
Movie trailers say it that way, please do not gaslight me in such a horrific and abrasive manner 😭
@@DanLayton haha! That was truly horrific and abrasive, I apologize good sir. 😂
@@DanLaytonin America, we don't WRITE the suffix, but we always say it.
As an American I have never heard anyone say dates the way Dan claimed we do
You guys still record the dates wrong anyway
@@brandoncavallaro4982 As if there is a correct way to write a date on paper...
20 Feb 2024
2024-02-20
Feb 20th, 2024
Feb 20 2024
02-20-2024
Doesn't really matter ... there is just what is socially perceived as correct.
Let's not over complicate it as if there is a sure fire correct way to write it...
The dynamic that I hope they add to the Bloodline story is Naomi pulling Jimmy out of the group. They could use this as a way to finally talk about his heel turn last year.
They could have a segment between the two, just a heart-to-heart husband & wife talk where Jimmy finally lets out his insecurities. That Jey and Solo were chosen to be the next Tribal Chief, his younger brothers passing him. Throwback to Jey’s promo where he lists all Jimmy’s accomplishments when the siblings were younger: prom king, etc., but none of that matters because he’s still not looked at as a possible head of the family.
But in the end, Naomi gets him out. Along the way though, face-to-face interactions with Roman and Naomi would be fun.
@@Chris420x1speak for yourself …
I like that
Haven’t they made an entire show about Bianca and Montez’s marriage?@@Chris420x1
I honestly just think Rock didnt know how to do the handsign.
He pointed to Roman while saying "The Rock is gonna do everything in his power to make sure that YOU (points to Roman 👉) walk out of Wrestlemania what you are, which is a loser."
I don't get why people are talking more about the "👆 thing" than this LOL.
@@Diego_C_42you forgot to mention how he out right says "Cody Rhodes, The Rock gonna....." that that whole sentence makes zero sense if he meant Roman.
@PowerPackers90 Of course, he would say it's a message to Cody Rhodes, he's lying to Roman Reign 😂 . But at the same time, his body language tells another story. That's how a swerve in professional wrestling works.
If he flat-out said, "Roman Reigns, The Rock is gonna..." then what's the point?
@@Diego_C_42 reading way too much intothis.
Yeah I think it’s just an old man not being hip with the times 😂
Dan is wrong. Tempest is correct. We say July 13th. Sometimes, the 13th of July.
What are you talking about Dan? We always say the suffix of numbers. We don't WRITE them, but we do say them.
His thumb out didnt mean anything. He doesn't watch the product and had no clue what the actual pose is.
LSU is what he was supporting. Go Tigers
Dan is very wrong, we don’t say the number just as a number, we say it like “June 30th” or “August 1st”. That’s why our order for dates is Month/Day/Year, because that’s the typical order we say dates in
Sky Pirates is a great name.
I'd love them to change their name from Damage Ctrl to Sky Pirate Empire to incorporate all their nicknames in a way. It just sounds cool. But also, Damage Ctrl just feel like Bayley's group. Unless Dakota does join them, then keep DC.
Or the just the new Triple Tails.. The Triad or something along those lines
Can we atleast get WrestleTalk review of SmackDown on a Saturday atleast. I get the podcast takes time to record but a 5 minute review episode should be uploaded within 24 hours. I don't think many people will care for review of a weekly live show 3 days after it has already happened.
Agreed. If staff want their Saturdays off (and fair enough) have a rota so that each person only does the Saturday review once every month or so. Do it from your home office if you want.
Then bring back sate time sate Day
I'm not gonna call for a return to Saturdays cuz I don't think it's necessary for them to work the weekend, (or us demanding they do uploads within 24 hours, what's wrong with you?), especially when they probably already know how their videos do on Saturdays. But on the Monday news review, just add in the extra 1 minute 1 take of AEW at the end, and they can start checking the metrics on Monday of how many people are tuning out or not. Until they do that, there's no real measure of whether or not the content is worth the time to make.
@popmetalj So if they want their Saturdays off, they should just work Saturdays. Brilliant conclusion, my good man.
I'm pretty sure Dan has never met an American if he thinks any of us say "July 30" and not "July 30th"
I am 38 years old, Dan, live in the middle of the Bible Belt. Have never heard anyone say anything like a date by the number. 1st, 2nd and so on is all I've ever heard.
Im not gonna lie lads. By the time it gets to monday im not thinking about smackdown anymore. I usually watch 2 / 3 reviews over the weekend anyway. (I would prefer the review to be on saturday like it used to)
For the question on the thumbnail: The rock watches bullet club confirmed?
Colton Gun definitely watches the rock, took like two seconds for homie to screenshot and tweet out a guns up lol
Dan literally described Luke in those first few minutes there. Luke books things in his head and calls the product bad when WWE doesn't follow his script
Dan is a treasure, but zero people say "January thirty."
Zero minutes in, breaking out insane conspiracy boards about something that was never implied. 1 minute in, Dan being wrong about how Americans say dates. This is gonna be a good one
I mean you guys do write your dates incorrectly today is 19/02/2024 not 02/19/2024
@@brentsmith9134 I mean, it's unwieldy, but it's not 'incorrect.' It's just a matter of voice vs notation. Do you never say "It's February 19th" or is it always "Why pip pip, my good man, it's the 19th of February! Now fetch me the biggest goose from the poulterer's!" Also, it's not what Dan was saying at all.
@@brentsmith9134we reverse how we do dates. He's right about that. But he's wrong about how we pronounce it.
@@mohawkbandito902 Hey don't worry I know you guys don't say july the 2 😅
Aye we all talk like a bunch of Dickens characters in a broad London accent and haven't advanced culturally since the 1890s 😂
22:21 it's 9 Innings as a regular game but if needed they'll go to extra innings to break a tie
Who in the US says February "two" and July "thirty"?🤨 I'm 46 and I've never heard that. EDIT: I'm Four, six lol! I love this channel Jam that Jam👍
Ok there Ochocinco
@@firstpersonwinner7404 I can't wait to watch my jason voorhees movies on friday thirteen😅
The one detail I have not seen anyone really talking about is Grayson Waller talking to Heyman. Cody and Seth are going to be on the Grayson Waller effect at Perth so I'm really curious what they are going to do during that at Perth. Will Rock and Roman show up even though they aren't currently booked on the show?
A thumb? Really? Probably reading into something that isn’t there.
I want to see a storyline where all the bullet club members re join like sleeper agents. Someone says something and they all turn on their current factions to re form Bullet Club in WWE. This could turn into a multi Company Invasion story.
Why would they reform in WWE when NJPW is the home of Bullet Club?
Since the smackdown review is now on Mondays, what are you guys going to do when there is a pay per view the same weekend?
Eventually they will review every single show from the last week on Monday
I miss Tempest and Sat e Days 😢
Me too Im going to lose it day he pops up on screen
Nice work with this review. Many likes.
Wrestletalk has nail it with putting this review on a Monday. Great work ❤
Bullet Club Rock 😂
It's pretty obvious to me that Cody will beat Roman and then it will be Roman vs Rock for "The Head of the Table".
Dan we do not read dates like that.
Wouldn't it be funny if the thumb was just the Rock having no idea how to do the pose correctly xD? Though i thoroughly enjoy speculating like you guys are doing!
43:57 make it harder on Adam to edit this dang Dan
Dan and tempest very well said at the start of your podcast, wrestling is supposed to be fun, and its fun for everyone to come up with their own theories and opinions, some people in the wrestling community forget this and shit on people's opinions and hate on people just coz they dont agree with someones opinions
The thing that everyone forgets is what Roman said right before the Rock came to the ring. He said everything that they say and do has meaning not just jokes and catchphrases. And that if you don't pay attention to it you will miss it.
& the way Roman,jimmy,solo& heyman was standing opposite of the rock facing him as well
Ref goes down. Bloodline gang up on Cody. Glass shatters. Stone cold comes out and stuns solo and jimmy. Stare down with rock. They brawl. Cody pins Roman. Tears. Pyro. Confetti
If Stone Cold comes out that would be just the greatest thing ever.
@@MichaelGray-qx9pe hell yeah.
Can't wait for July, the 4. The Day of Independance is my very favorite day of holi!
The most powerful of all the 4s: July
This needs to go back to Saturday and and give us Sat E Time!
The Rock threw up the "Guns Up", while everyone else did the "We the Ones".
yeah I think you guys are wrong saying the qualifying matches were just TV matches in the quality. I think we all knew who was going to win this week compared to the previous matches and that made them a bit predictable. The one thing I will say is WWE needs to get Logan a real finisher, that one looked clunky as hell. Besides that it was a good match. I would rather have seen him take on an AJ or Sammy and let them work and give us a match that could have gone either way. Same with KO..it was almost just a means to an end to get both in the Chamber match.
What character improvement from Tiffany?! The only improvement is that she doesn't mention Daddy anymore. It's still the same character.
Interesting how the Bloodline/TeamCody babyfaces are all on Raw and the heels all on Smackdown (currently anyway). Can pretty much lead to brand warfare just under a different name or it's to keep them separated as much as possible until Mania and let them build their team dynamics and the story verbally
I’m here early for once. Felt like a kid again watching the rock on smackdown
I miss him talking about the omega chat
Thanks for giving us Bills Mafia a shoutout. #WeLuvTables
This is more Corporate 1998 Rock rather than Hollywood Rock. So, the Hollywood theme wouldn’t make much sense.
dan, you got it right the first time bruv, it's The Emperor's new clothes =)
Never heard anyone here say the number for a date without it ending in a "st" or "th" or "rd" before. Miss Sat. Hope they don't overbook Roman v Cody any further.
Yay! Smackdown podcasts are not gonna be cancelled after all 😄😄
I might be in the minority but the Rock promo didn’t do it for me, nonsensical doesn’t equal a good heel promo. Also what Cody did was the equivalent of losing the Super Bowl and returning the next season to dominate and make it back to the superbowl. I get heels lie but there is usually some basis of truth.
Hard disagree on Stratton's moonsault. It might be too much hate transference from her Daddy's Little Rich Girl gimmick, but I definitely think her corner bounces into it are approaching as contrived and unnecessary as whatever Karrion Kross does for his current finisher. Also, last time complete miss, this time knees to gut.
Since rock came back they have focused a lot on framing. At the presser, rock was in front of roman backstage when they were having a go at Triple H. Rock looked much larger because of him being closer to camera, and it appeared as if his presence alone and him dominating the conversation and his aggression dwarfed Roman.
Then when they walked out of the building in the behind the scenes clip WWE posted, rock felt like the grown up or the dad and roman felt like the teenager trying to play pretend.
Now in this segment, the framing of the rock pointing at roman right at that moment, it has to be deliberate. I hope rock sticks around for a bit and rock vs roman has an actual build
Since he is now part of the company I would love the Rock to stick around until Mania 41
Watching that thumbnail... i got two words for ya. "Guns up".... The Rock to AEW and Bullet Club Gold confirmed 😅🤣😂
I'd like them to add "The Rock says" back into his theme.
I think it’s more likely that Rock doesn’t watch the product and didn’t know they did it that way.
Hear me out, hear me out. Bron Breakker just signed to Smackdown, with Paul Heyman being interested in him. Bron and Roman meet through a Heyman introduction. Bron has his NXT tag title with him, Roman asks Bron about his tag partner. Baron Corbin!!!!!
Corbin is the one to "finish the story."
"I've got two words for you Bobby"
"It's Billy"
"No, guns up"
I honestly think that the finger meant nothing, I feel like people are reading way too much in it
I wanted the Hollywood Rock theme. Proper heel track, all his others are upbeat and designed to get the crowd pumped. And the graphics do the same.
Hollywood Rock please.
Sorry Dan North Americans do not say July 30 or February 2. They say February 2nd and July 30th.
America absolutely does not say their dates like that
We do not say our dates like that in America😂😂😂 We say July 13th or July 3rd like anyone else would, we're crazy but not that crazy😂😂😂
I've left this moment before. There's still time. Roman needs to turn on the Rick like this Friday. Roman and the bloodline jump the Rock, kayfab injure him. Then the Rick comes back at WM 40 to stop the bloodline from. Interfering in the match. The double face turn
The Rock joined Bullet Club Gold “Guns Up!”. Rock to AEW confirmed 💪
Pre recorded or live an hour early?
These Monday episodes of the Smackdown Podcast are going to be pre recorded now
I don't think that hand symbol the rock did meant anything, juet him being a bit kool and different (or has paid that little attention to Romans story in wwe)
Might be a hot take, I loved her old theme..but I am not mad at this new Naomi theme at all!
Lashley and The Profits are called "The Pride." But I don't think they've mentioned the name on air since the abandoned the heel turn.
NAOMI’S NEW THEME IS AMAZING WTF DAN??
0:45 Americans/Candaians format there dates in a direct way. February 16th, 2024 = 2/16/2024. The UK’s date format is passive. The 16th of February, 2024 = 16/2/2024.
dd/MM/yyyy is the best format
Do you more commonly say February 16th or the 16th of February
Hang on, it's passive and indirect to say the bit that changes first? Are you sure? Is it not less direct to say the month every time you read the date? We all know what month it is and just say "it's the 19th" 😂
@@reilly1771Grammatically, saying “16th of February” is in the passive voice while “February 16th” is in the active voice. The active voice uses one less word and that’s how I justify that phrasing to be more direct and efficient than the passive voice.
That's how it is in México too.. El 16 de Febrero, (16th of February)
Asserting dominance with an L for Leader?
On the topic of finishers….Black Mass!
Not live ?
The Rock is clearly saying, "I GOT 2 WORDS FOR YA.....GUNS UP!!!' The Rock IS JOINING THE BANG BANG SCISSOR GANG🔫🔫✂️
guys no one’s says “july 30” in america. it’s “july 30th” like everyone where else idk where this came from
Its not Hollywood Rock. Its Nation of Domination Rock
Nobody in America says February 2. Its always February 2nd or the 2nd of February.
What if the reason why they never explained why Cody gave his WM spot to the Rock in the first place was because Cody and the Rock have been conniving all along, and all of these is a ploy to for the Rock to gain Roman Reign's trust so he will put his guard down?
That would be a great retcon to tie up that loose end, but that certainly wasn't the original plan.
Love the Rock as a heel!!
To all Americans/Canadians, you say your dates weird.
Days/Months/Years make alot more sense. As Dan says, "There's not 16 months in a year"
Why is there someone from England and someone from Canada telling me how Americans say dates, and getting it completely wrong!? 😂🤣
Dan you are wrong. Sorry.
From - An American
I'm fine with whatever the Rock does as long as he remains a heel.
I'm guessing we are looking at an Avengers style call up.
Cody v roman
Seth v rock
Jey v jimmy
Sami/Cena v solo
I haven't seen any new content on Patreon since Feb. 2nd. What's up with that??
There’s a video that was posted last week of survival series thunder dome edition
Naomi's new Music is basically a remix of her TNA/Impact Theme
Everybody is getting too worked up. He just did it wrong!
We don't say dates like that lol
It's the 30th, the 2nd, the 8th, etc lol
The "Heel Rock" promos work when he's there every week and half the promos dont have to have meaning. We've got 7 weeks to Mania and he ain't gonna be there every week. So he needs to start actually doing promos with substance
That promo did have a lot of substance in it. Hopefully you know the difference between filler and actual substance, respectfully.
When do we get the LA night VS the rock face off?😅😮
I wonder if they gonna add Jacob lance and Zilla and usos other brother
I could be wrong, but I think folks are reading way too much into a thumb.
Not an EDM fan, so I didn't like Naomi's old theme, would love a complete change up like Netflix did and get rid of the Glow, but yes, this theme is multitudes worse.
Dan, I have never heard anyone in the US say just the number on a date. Been in the US my whole life. It’s always 4th, 1st, 30th, 22nd, etc
Why did it take you guys three days to upload this?
No, Dan. No one in North America says that.
Cody is one of those wrestler that’s better when he’s on the back foot coming up with something to shut the heel up with. He’s not so good on verbal offense.
See if the bloodline finger lift was the only thing to go on then I would say folks are jumping to conclusions but consider this ...
Rock whispers something to Cody which causes him to smile. Reconfirming and sharing the 'plan' perhaps?
The camerawork making it look like he was pointing at Roman whilst talking about who will walk out of WM XL as a loser.
Then the bloodline gesture looking similar to Cody's gun gesture after winning the Rumble.
There are little easter eggs being left here and there and maybe subtle hints as to what is about to happen. Now all three things could be red herrings of course but its easy to see why some think that Rock is playing Roman here. Certainly does give some food for thought.
Plus I dont Rock will want to end his career as a heel either.
Hear me out - Double Turn at Mania. Seth turns on Cody, becoming heel. We think all is doom and gloom. Cody is going to be screwed again. But then Rock turns on Roman, leveling the playing field and turning Face. Imagine the gigantic POP! Cody wins. Sets up Seth vs Cody, Roman vs Rock for Mania 41. That’s how you do it
What if Rock eats the pin? What could come of that?
As an American, I’ve never heard anyone say something like July 30, only ever July 30th. Written? Yeah. Spoken? Never.
Exactly. The context on whether the date is the subject or a descriptor changes how it's said and the order. So sure, it was the February 16th episode of Smackdown, but the episode came on out February 16th, or alternatively, the 16th of February.
