Ridge Holland

Um, look, a lot of that conversation was around contracts and some talks like that, and so here we're gonna get into some other stuff.

Um, WWE contracts really hit, specifically last week's, you know, kind of hit a high note, um, when a lot of conversations came up, you know, because, um, Ridge Holland brought up that he basically, uh, was offered a new deal, but it was like 50%, 56% I think was his words, pay reduction.

Kofi and Xavier Woods, they came out on a podcast.

They were being asked questions and, uh, it's been rumored it's somewhere between, they said it was more than a 50% pay cut.

which sounded a little high.

And so that was refuted later on by Brian Alvarez, who said, actually, the pay cut was closer to 56% that the 56% pay cut was mentioned by Ridge Holland.

Ridge Holland used to work for WWE.

He had tweeted during the week that he was asked to take a 56% pay cut.

And so Alvarez said their pay cut was a little closer to what Ridge Holland was asked to take.

That at least sounds a little more reasonable.

But to be honest with you, even a 50% pay cut doesn't really sound reasonable to me.

NGW have got Luke Mendes versus Rampage versus Kemper.

Let's bring in Luke Menzies.

Yeah, not Menzies.

Yeah, I'll pull in the try and have one-off matches with the bigger guys from other promotions around the north so you got yeah shreddy luke menzies obviously so you can get rampage in there because that would be ass um you know just something something like that that's names that are not really known to half the two some of quite a bit of the two great guys to get two great fans you know so they're oh we know Kemper versus Vucic or whomever it's going to be a banger but I don't know this Luke Menzies guy what's he and then obviously it comes out oh it's the ex-WWE guy for some of them you know you have that something that's a little bit different

that upsets me that statement because it's true upsets me most of the people wouldn't know Rampage the dude's from Leeds he's a Leeds legend Most of the True Grit fans nowadays would not know who Rampage is.

Nope.

Yes, I agree.

Ridge Holland, I think, is up there.

Grizzled Young Veterans, I could see being like the Baron Corbin's of the tag division.

Malcolm Bivens, if managers start getting another shot like Alana or Paul Heyman, it seems like such an exclusive group nowadays, but Bivens is up there.

MSK versus Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan.

Danny Burch gets, but no sells, a welcome back chant.

This match goes 12-23-1. champs retain uh with the finisher um whatever their finisher is called vick certainly doesn't know it so he can't help me and uh yeah msk are still your champs but the big story here ridge holland and um pete dunn uh the the co-leaders of the faction that never got a name kicked the other guys out of the faction uh they were brought in kind of nondescript and they were kicked out nondescript uh much like winning and losing their tag championships on tv uh well winning on tv and losing by having to give them up um birch and lorcan just never quite figure in but uh but this was 12 23 the third longest match after the uh first two matches and uh on a night that had 53 56 of in-ring action on the main event um

Yeah, speaking of Vic, in that first match, Ember Moon had a really cool move toward the end, and I'm like, ooh, I wonder what Vic's going to call that, and he just said, up and down! Oh, what innovative offense from Ember Moon! Okay, thanks, Vic.
