Transcript

00:00Oh, for f**k's sake.

00:01Oh, god damn.

00:03I don't know who it is now!

00:05Hello and welcome to another episode of Survival Series,

00:09the show where it feels like you're wearing nothing at all.

00:14It's all Simpsons bits this time.

00:16Okay.

00:17Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all.

00:19The show where I talk to the audience.

00:22And it's always death.

00:24Talk to the audience.

00:25The show where we call the big one bitey.

00:28Pardon?

00:29I call the big one bitey.

00:30The show where we do the line, Bart.

00:34We do?

00:34I didn't do it.

00:37The show with the personalized license plates.

00:39We need more Bort license plates in the gift shop.

00:42Today I'm joined by Sullivan Bort Brown.

00:47Who's called Bort?

00:49You're talking to me.

00:51Today I'm joined by the reigning Survival Series champion, Ollie Davis.

00:56Yes, I won.

00:57I didn't expect to win.

00:59I almost forgot I was champion.

01:00But I am champion.

01:02And those are the best champions, if watching WWE over the last 15 years has taught me anything.

01:07It's the champions that forget they're champions and don't show up for work.

01:12Right, I got a bit cocky and victories went to my head,

01:17but I've got a new sense, a humble sense of being.

01:22So maybe this episode will do better for me.

01:25I thought you said, I've got a big cocky.

01:30I've got a big cocky in it.

01:33Like Charlotte Flair, going to throw it out on the table and get the finish to the match I won.

01:38If you're watching this for the very first time, make sure, of course,

01:41that you check out our Patreon, patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk,

01:44where you can see the full uncut version of this show

01:46and a full exclusive episode of Survival Series every single month.

01:50And if you're watching this for the first time,

01:52you'll need to know that each of our competitors

01:54will be given a very specific wrestling category,

01:56of which they will need to answer every single entry of.

01:59In reverse chronological order, with only three strikes.

02:02Oh, we are. Oh, we are getting three strikes.

02:04So that's helpful because I, in the past, I've revised heavily

02:10and it helps sometimes.

02:11But other times you've got like a third intercontinental champions,

02:16sometimes WrestleMania locations, and then a bit of everything.

02:19I'm coming in with nothing and hoping we're going to see what,

02:22like a magic eight ball, we'll just shake my head and see what rises to the top.

02:26Today, Oli Davis, I need you to name me every single NXT champion.

02:34Oh, you mother******.

02:36Okay. Okay. Okay.

02:38Okay.

02:40In reverse chronological order.

02:41Oh, for **** sake.

02:42Oh, god damn.

02:44In reverse chronological order.

02:46Yes.

02:47I'll be better doing it the other way round.

02:49Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

02:56I don't know who it is now.

02:59Oh, no.

03:02Oh, no.

03:11It's a really good question.

03:12Why didn't I think about looking at the Wikipedia?

03:15I could have done that at any time, but I didn't.

03:18Because I'm a little stupid boy, I'm a little baby boy.

03:22Okay, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

03:25Who could it be?

03:26Oh, I'm going out quick here.

03:28Oh, dear.

03:29Oh, my god.

03:30Alien Dragunov.

03:32Ding.

03:35I'm going to say it's Brum Breaker.

03:39That is your first strike.

03:40Oh, no. Okay. Okay. Okay. It's not Brum. That's fine.

03:49Do you want to change your mind about the reverse chronological order?

03:51No.

03:52Do you want to just let me just name them?

03:55Like when we did TNA and everyone had fun with that one.

03:58That was a good one.

03:59Not this time.

04:00It's the man I'm thinking of, but it's the only other name I know.

04:03It's not the only other name I know.

04:05I know my own name.

04:06I know Tempest's name.

04:08I know Adam's name.

04:09And the rest, I roughly guess.

04:13So I can tell you the current champion.

04:15That would be Ilya Dragunov.

04:17Oh, it's going to be another strike. I can feel it. I can feel it.

04:20It's like a sword of Damocles.

04:21A sword of Damocles hanging over my head.

04:23And it's saying, you're stupid.

04:29You're stupid and I hate you.

04:32And I've written a lovely song about all the things you do wrong.

04:36Oh, you're stupid. You're stupid.

04:39And I hate you.

04:41Why don't you know anything?

04:42You just need to look up some of the things to do with wrestling.

04:46I believe, I don't know.

04:49I believe the current champion, Ilya Dragunov.

04:53As of today, Ilya Dragunov.

04:56Ilya Dragunov.

04:57Ding!

04:58Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

05:04Oh, and we'll leave it there. I think we'll leave it there.

05:09We don't need to...

05:12Who did Ilya Dragunov beat?

05:14Who did Dragunov beat?

05:16Oh, bollocks.

05:18And he went off Carmelo Hayes.

05:19I'm pretty sure that Dragunov beat Carmelo Hayes.

05:22I've so fallen off NXT.

05:26Oh my God, no, it's going to be worse than when I did it.

05:28Was it Intercontinental Champions when I set the record?

05:32And I'm proud to announce that we have a new worst ever performance on Survival Series.

05:39I could probably do the Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe hot shot house show changes

05:45before I could do who did Ilya Dragunov beat.

05:48Dragunov beat Carmelo Hayes.

05:51Who's that bloke? Big bloke.

05:53Big tall bloke.

05:54Lovely big tall man.

05:56Got a name.

05:59I was going to say BJ Novak.

06:02Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

06:03He's, he's back from the office.

06:06Boy, have you lost your mind?

06:07Cause I'll help you find it.

06:09Did he beat Brom Breaker?

06:11Is that who Dragunov beat?

06:14Was there someone in the middle?

06:16Oh, is that his first name or his second name?

06:18What?

06:20How do you feel about me giving you one of his names?

06:23Because I think this is the bloke I saw him.

06:25Oh, was that even for the champion?

06:26It was, it was.

06:27I'm going to say it, Brom Breaker.

06:29That is your first strike, Oli Davis.

06:32Fluff.

06:33Die Jack.

06:34That is your second strike, Sullivan.

06:37Okay, okay.

06:38Oh no, it's all gone beat song.

06:41Okay, here we go.

06:43Okay, okay.

06:44Play these back.

06:45What were the feuds?

06:46What were the feuds?

06:47Baron Corbin didn't get it.

06:48Just go through people, just go through people

06:50who are on the NXT roster right now.

06:56I can only think of Roxanne Perrette.

06:58The only other person I can think of in all of NXT right now

07:02is Bronnells.

07:02But I'm going to just try and think about

07:05who's that bloke who lost the North American Championship

07:09to Dominic Mysterio.

07:11Did he do something?

07:12Maybe?

07:12I don't know.

07:13I don't think so.

07:14Oh, and then I just remember Dolph Ziggler did a bit in NXT,

07:17but he won't be here.

07:19So it's not Brom Breaker.

07:20He would have been who I would have said.

07:22Joe Gacy hasn't won it.

07:23Tony D'Angelo hasn't won it.

07:25Baron Corbin have feuded with Dragunov, but didn't win.

07:30Hayes and Mello, I'm pretty sure, haven't won it yet.

07:33Hayes and Mello?

07:37Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams, I'm pretty sure.

07:41Haven't won it.

07:42OK, this is going to be the worst I've ever done.

07:45I can feel that third strike coming.

07:47It's rolling around the bend.

07:49And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.

07:53But I'm stuck in Survival Series prison,

07:56and time is carrying on.

07:58Oh, Robert.

08:01And so then that is your third strike.

08:03I need you to remove your mic and get the f*** out.

08:10It's the worst I've ever done.

08:11I thought if I whispered it, he might not hear.

08:14I might just say ding.

08:16But it turns out Tempest has cat-like hearing abilities.

08:19Sorry, everyone.

08:21OK, I'm just going to say Carmelo Hayes.

08:29Ding!

08:30F*** yes!

08:31Oh, God.

08:33I thought it was.

08:34I knew it.

08:35Hayes and Mello, I'm pretty sure, haven't won it yet.

08:38OK, Carmelo Hayes, I'm pretty sure, beat Brom Breaker.

08:42Ding!

08:44Honestly, I think that even if I got to 2020, I would possibly struggle with this.

08:50Because I think it's like, well, it's Karrion Kross.

08:52Lol.

08:53I think Keith Lee's there for a bit.

08:54Adam Cole obviously had it.

08:56Balor.

08:57Right, who did Hayes beat?

08:59Oh, my God, I'm so...

09:00I'm angry with myself.

09:03I'm really angry with myself.

09:05This is what happens when you don't revise.

09:06This is... I should have done this.

09:08I should have done a basic bit of revision.

09:09I should have done that.

09:10I could have done this.

09:12I just didn't.

09:12I'm so angry.

09:13I'm, like, genuinely furious.

09:15This is what happens when you don't watch 2.0.

09:17But we did watch 2.0!

09:19Only for a bit!

09:21And then I stopped watching it.

09:23Do our reviews mean nothing to you?

09:26I thought what we had was special!

09:30Hayes beat Breaker.

09:32Ding!

09:33Oh!

09:34He did beat Breaker.

09:35I'm so upset.

09:36I'm so upset.

09:37I'm, like, I'm genuinely...

09:38Okay.

09:39Yeah, let's say Carmelo Hayes beat Brom Breaker.

09:41Ding!

09:42Nice.

09:42Okay.

09:43Who was horny?

09:44Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!

09:46Excuse me?

09:47Well, 2.0 was...

09:48I mean, it was...

09:48It's disgusting and hideous in hindsight, but 2.0 became the horny show.

09:52So I'm, like...

09:52Oh!

09:53Brom **** Breaker!

09:54Ding!

09:54Oh, my God!

09:55Oh, my God!

09:56Like, Brom Breaker may have been horny.

09:58I don't know.

09:59Do I make you randy?

10:01Brom Breaker had it for a while, and he was the first champ of NXT 2.0, I think.

10:08Which means he beat...

10:10When was NXT 2.0?

10:12That's 2020...

10:13No, that was...

10:15Okay, it was around 2020.

10:17Is it Dolph?

10:18Or did there...

10:19Or was there a switch between Breaker and Hayes?

10:21I don't know why.

10:22There's something telling me that there is a thing between that.

10:25Maybe I made that up.

10:26So I'll say Dolph.

10:28Ding!

10:29Oh, ****!

10:29I was right.

10:30But did Bron hold it twice, or was it just one for a long time?

10:35No, he lost it, didn't he?

10:37He lost it to Dolph Ziggler!

10:39Ding!

10:40Ha!

10:44Yes!

10:44Is it Carmelo again?

10:45That is your first strike, Dan.

10:47This is gonna happen.

10:49Did Karrion Kross...

10:50Because I feel like they had another go at trying to make Karrion Kross work.

10:53But I also feel like I might be missing an entire year.

10:57I'm gonna say Karrion Kross.

10:59That is your second strike.

11:05Was it Finn Balor?

11:06Finn Balor!

11:07Finn Balor, yes.

11:08A period of time where it's like Finn Balor, Karrion Kross,

11:11and then it goes all colourful and sexy.

11:13Finn Balor went down to NXT in the pandemic, and he was a heel.

11:18Who's been called up?

11:19So you've got your Tyler Bates of the world, you've got your...

11:22Bron Breaker hasn't...

11:23Well, he's only just been called up.

11:25Carmelo's still down there.

11:26Who has been called up from NXT in the past two years?

11:29Anyone?

11:30Anyone?

11:34Finn Balor.

11:35And Ollie!

11:36That is your third strike.

11:38At least I got three.

11:40Oh, God.

11:42I need you to remove your mic and get the f*** out.

11:46Should I take this as well?

11:50I mean, you can leave it on the shelf on your way out.

11:53None of retention?

11:54What stupid...

11:55You've been eliminated.

11:57Skit is going to happen to me.

12:01Relight the chamber.

12:07Dolph Ziggler.

12:08Ding!

12:09Oh, there you go.

12:10I see what I was wrong.

12:11It wasn't called up.

12:12It was sent down.

12:14I said Dolph won it.

12:16And Dolph, I'm pretty sure, won it from Bron Breaker.

12:18Dolph Ziggler then would have beaten Bron Breaker.

12:22Well, that would be Bron Breaker again then.

12:23I don't think he was the first champion of 2.0,

12:27because I'm pretty sure he won it from Tommaso Ciampa.

12:31Breaker would have beaten Tommaso Ciampa.

12:34I...

12:35The problem is I can see the edit.

12:37All right?

12:37And I can see...

12:38I'm not going to want to watch this episode.

12:40But I'm going to feel such shame about...

12:42Like, it's a good show.

12:44We've only got one strike, Dan.

12:46You can win this.

12:48I couldn't win this.

12:49Don't lie to me.

12:51Just going to check my phone.

12:52One quick second.

12:54I'm just going to have a look.

12:56I will come across that table.

12:59You don't have your mask on.

13:01You don't have your mask on.

13:02You just try it.

13:03Whitney, get him.

13:05Carrying cross?

13:06That is your second strike, Dan.

13:08God, I don't know who's there.

13:09Who's there?

13:10Oh, sod it.

13:11We're going out.

13:12Finn Balor.

13:12And, Dan, that is your third strike.

13:15I need you to remove your mic.

13:16Who was it?

13:17And get the f*** out.

13:20Like, the future isn't now.

13:24This episode is a damning indictment of Coronet NXT.

13:28We used to be good.

13:34Tommy Champs.

13:35Tommy Champs.

13:36So, there is a Samoa Joe in here.

13:40And Joe, I think, gets stripped of the title before they move into 2.0.

13:45Which makes me wonder if there is a vacant there and then it's Joe.

13:50Samoa Joe.

13:51But that would have been the time when it was vacated because 2.0 launched.

13:56Samoa Joe.

13:57Ding.

13:58Who beat Karrion Kross.

13:59Karrion Kross.

14:00So, this would have been the second time and he beat f*** everybody.

14:03And he won in, like, the five-way or stuff retained through that.

14:07He beat, the second time he won the belt.

14:09First time, second time.

14:10First time, second time.

14:11Oh.

14:12Did he only win it once?

14:14Keith Lee.

14:15That is your first strike, Luke.

14:19No.

14:20It's because I'm pretty sure he wins it from Keith Lee and then it gets vacated.

14:24And then someone else wins the belt and then he wins it off them instead.

14:27So, I'm pretty sure this is the period of time where Adam Cole cut that promo.

14:31Which basically boiled down to Karrion Kross, you're well s*** at wrestling.

14:35Why the f*** are you the world champion?

14:38Oh, he hooked him.

14:39Finn Balor.

14:41Ding.

14:44Right, so it's not Keith Lee.

14:46Which kind of lines up a possibility of a Cole, a Ciampa, a Gargano.

14:52A Balor maybe?

14:53Maybe is that where Balor went for a second time?

14:55Balor?

14:56Ding.

14:58Yes.

14:59Yes.

14:59Oh, I'm onto something.

15:01Did he win the vacant belt?

15:03Did Karrion Kross get injured, Balor won it, then Kross came back and won the belt?

15:09Or was there somebody that Balor beat for it?

15:12Was it Adam Cole?

15:13Could have been.

15:13Always could have been Adam Cole.

15:15Kross.

15:16Karrion Kross.

15:17Keith Lee.

15:18Keith Lee.

15:18Adam Cole.

15:19Adam Cole.

15:21Pando times.

15:22Laurie was reviewing the show.

15:25It's Cole.

15:26It's Cole.

15:27I know that.

15:27I know it's Cole.

15:28I feel like I'm now in...

15:30I'm definitely in my 20...

15:33I'm in 2020.

15:34So mid-2020.

15:35So now maybe I'm in early 2020.

15:38So maybe I'm actually in...

15:40No, I'm not.

15:41Can't be.

15:43So is the answer next...

15:48been Balor?

15:50I assume that...

15:51I think he was only a one-time champ, right?

15:53If that is the case, then that means he would have beaten Johnny Gargano.

15:58Is the answer next Balor?

16:00Because that's like the start of the AEW era of NXT.

16:06Balor went down from the main roster onto that first show.

16:09He turned heel.

16:10Balor.

16:11That is a second strike, Luke.

16:15So it's okay.

16:16So I'm not that far.

16:17That means there's a step between Cole and Balor.

16:20Who could you be?

16:22Probably Ciampa.

16:23It's probably Ciampa.

16:24Could be Gargano.

16:25I always feel like they're my ripcord.

16:28My ripcord answer is...

16:29You don't know?

16:30Tommaso Ciampa.

16:31You don't know?

16:32Johnny Gargano.

16:34I mean, I'm out of...

16:35Like Anastasia.

16:36I'm all out of love.

16:38I'm all out of options.

16:40Although I don't think that's a lyric from the song.

16:42I'm out of options.

16:44Set me free.

16:46Let me out of this misery.

16:48Well, that's actually quite apt.

16:50Let me out of this misery, Adam.

16:51I like that in Luke's mind, it's you keeping him here.

16:55I'm locking the door.

16:58I mean, you told me to take my microphone off when I'm done.

17:00But Adam cuts the cameras.

17:02Drew, I let you out.

17:05I feel like once the cameras are cut, I'm actually physically allowed to leave.

17:08Show's not over until the cameras are cut.

17:11Like I'm on a 50-50 thing.

17:12Do I say Ciampa or do I say Gargano?

17:14Because those are my only two options I can think of.

17:17Tommaso Ciampa.

17:18Luke, that is your third strike.

17:20Was it Gargano?

17:21It was.

17:24You had a choice and you chose wrong.

17:27Stupid Johnny Gargano.

17:29Stupid, stupid, stupid Johnny Gargano.

17:32Idiot.

17:33And now I need you to remove your mic and get the f*** out.

17:37For f*** sake.

17:38I knew it was one of those two.

17:39I mean, absolutely.

17:40Who else was it going to be?

17:41It was going to be f***ing, I don't know, Kushida.

17:48Cool, so we're at Gargano.

17:56Gargano won the belt.

17:58Oh, I always get confused about this stuff.

18:01Tommaso Ciampa.

18:02Ding.

18:03Yay.

18:04Who did Ciampa beat?

18:06It's got to be somewhere around Alistair Black.

18:08Black beat Andrade.

18:12Andrade beat Drew McIntyre.

18:14Drew had it for a really short time.

18:16And that would have been Bobby Roode.

18:19Ding.

18:23I have a brain occasionally.

18:25I'm pretty certain that Bobby Roode beat Shinsuke Nakamura.

18:30There's a real hot potato thing happening here with Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe.

18:35So we're at Shinsuke, we're gonna go.

18:37Samoa Joe.

18:39Ding.

18:40Shinsuke Nakamura.

18:41Ding.

18:42Samoa Joe.

18:44Ding.

18:45Shinsuke Nakamura.

18:46And that is your first strike, Pete.

18:47No, piss.

18:49We're at Samoa Joe.

18:50So maybe it wasn't as much of a hot potato as I thought.

18:52Maybe it's just that and I've gone back to Joe who beat Finn Balor.

18:56Ding.

18:57Oh, okay, yeah.

18:58All right, cool.

18:58We're past where I thought.

18:59That's great, cool.

19:00Kevin Owens.

19:02Kevin Owens would have beaten Sami Zayn.

19:05Sami Zayn beat Adrian Neville.

19:09Now, there's only a few left and I know that.

19:11It's only a few, but I know there is.

19:13Seth Rollins, he was the first one.

19:14Bo Dallas was another one.

19:15Pretty sure.

19:16Oh, did he?

19:17Did Big E Langston ever held the NXT title?

19:19I feel like he did.

19:20Yeah!

19:27So there's Neville and there's Sami Zayn.

19:28And it's all in this little period here.

19:31So I think it either has to be Big E or Bo.

19:33I can't think of anybody else that was NXT champ around this time.

19:36I'm gonna be so mad at myself if it's neither.

19:38Big E Langston.

19:39That is your second strike, Pete.

19:41No, no, no, no, no.

19:42That doesn't make me feel good.

19:44No.

19:44No, no, no, no, no.

19:46And no.

19:47I'm gonna be so mad if I've come this far and I don't get to the end.

19:50But I'm gonna say it anyway.

19:52Bo Dallas!

19:53Ding!

19:55Okay.

19:56Now, I don't know if Bo Dallas was second and there's only one more answer and it's

20:01Seth Rollins.

20:02I don't know if that is the case or if there's somebody else first.

20:05And then maybe it's Big E still.

20:07He's still on the table.

20:09And maybe it's not Seth.

20:11But maybe it is Seth.

20:13Maybe I'm deliberating over.

20:14Literally nothing.

20:15I don't have any strikes anymore.

20:17Bo's title reign was really long and people didn't like it.

20:21Didn't he start as a babyface though and then became heel because everyone hated him?

20:25Which means he wouldn't be a heel.

20:27Unless I'm just wrong.

20:28Unless it's just Seth.

20:29It could be.

20:30It could just be Seth.

20:31Do you wanna hear something crazy?

20:33Seth Rollins.

20:34And Pete, that is your third strike.

20:37He blows a tire at the finish line.

20:40And I need you to remove your mic.

20:43Feel the power of positivity.

20:45No, it was Big E!

20:46And get the f*** out.

20:48No, no, no, no!

20:51I refuse.

20:53No!

20:54Was it Big E and then Seth?

20:55Mm-hmm.

20:57That's so much worse!

21:06Well, Pete, even though you came oh so close to naming every NXT champion,

21:11no one else was even able to come nearly as close.

21:14Therefore, we have a new survival series champion.

21:20I don't even...

21:21This isn't even the right...

21:22I don't know what the code is.

21:22I can't get in.

21:23I can't get into my briefcase.

21:25But I won anyway!

21:28I need you to name me every single Roman Reigns universal title defense

21:36in reverse chronological order.

21:38What?

21:40No.

21:41That's not the thing I learned.

21:43That's not the thing I revised.

21:44That's wrong.

21:45That's the wrong category.

21:46Give me another one.
