00:03The following podcast is scheduled for one more.
00:17Introducing first, representing VLWO.
00:23We did a 190 pounds.
00:26Cruz del Toro!
00:30Well, it's time to fly high here with Lucha Libre's finest,
00:33as the LWO will represent for back-to-back weeks,
00:36and a rare singles outing for the treasure of Cordova,
00:39as he faces a major obstacle.
00:45Take a look at Cruz del Toro.
00:46I mean, this is someone who's got to be riding high
00:49after being part of World's Collide in Los Angeles,
00:52Money in the Bank Weekend.
00:54But you're right, there's got to be something inside him
00:57that has to be a little fearful of the man he's about to go one-on-one with
01:02here on main event.
01:03Cruz del Toro certainly showed up and showed out a couple of weeks ago in L.A.
01:07Of course, a part of Trio's action, but Vick, a very rare singles appearance here,
01:11and certainly a tall task to climb.
01:13It's going to be interesting to see how he adapts to solo competition here tonight.
01:20Oh, you can feel this mood start to change.
01:22Listen to that response.
01:43Is it out of admiration, or is it out of fear for what this man and that woman can do?
02:02Because there is a chill in the air.
02:14The end is here.
02:18The end is here.
02:22Fall and break.
02:26Fall and break.
02:29Fall and break.
02:33Fall and break.
02:44As things continue to shift right here, Vick, the dangerous reality is realized once again on main event.
02:50And the response from the WWE Universe is growing with each passing week.
03:00The man who on Monday Night Raw was poking the bear, that is Sami Zayn.
03:05Called Sami Zayn a coward.
03:08Says he talks a big game.
03:10Well, Karrion Kross has an opportunity to back up his words here against Cruz del Toro on main event.
03:18Vick, to that point, do you believe Karrion Kross was trying to psych up Sami Zayn regarding his King of the Ring semifinal matchup with the Viper Randy Orton?
03:24I don't know anything with Karrion Kross anymore.
03:26Because you take a look at, is what he's saying truthful?
03:29Is he trying to manipulate you?
03:31Look at the power here!
03:32Is he trying to pick you apart psychologically?
03:36There's too many questions and not enough answers when it comes to Karrion Kross, Scarlett, and their motives.
03:42As Cruz del Toro doing his best to try to escape right here.
03:45That stick and move like strategy, Vick, you talked about AAA, you talked about Worlds Collide.
03:50As what did del Toro show the WWE Universe at that event in LA?
03:53Well, I hope that he was able to showcase his abilities, which we know of.
03:59To remind people just what he can do.
04:01But I also am very hopeful that he watched the match of Karrion Kross and Tozawa from a few weeks ago.
04:06Because Speed can catch Kross.
04:10Problem is, is Speed doesn't help you once Kross catches you.
04:14Kross closes that gap very quickly here.
04:16Cruz del Toro trying to do his best to stay in the driver's seat.
04:19Of course, del Toro.
04:20Gotta stick and move at this point.
04:21And that rare singles outing, Vick, we talked about carrying Kross.
04:24Whoa!
04:25As del Toro slides to the apron.
04:27Now creates even more separation.
04:29Del Toro up comfortable in that top row position.
04:32We're talking about with that speed.
04:34Hitting and move.
04:36Head scissors take over del Toro.
04:38Gonna feel right at home.
04:39Very comfortable right here.
04:40Cruz del Toro!
04:41And slowed down by Karrion Kross.
04:46Kross in control.
04:47Can the LWO crawl back into this one?
04:50On main event.
04:51Back here on main event, Karrion Kross in complete control.
04:55Vick, we talked a couple of weeks ago about Kross being slighted in money in the bank.
04:59What about being left out of the King of the Ring tournament?
05:01I think it all goes hand in hand.
05:03And to go back to what you were asking me at the beginning of this matchup,
05:06when it comes to Sami Zayn, that's why I say what are the motives?
05:10Are the motives actually there to help Sami Zayn?
05:14Are they there to motivate him?
05:16Are they there to drive him?
05:17Or are they there to question him?
05:19Because here's the thing about Karrion Kross.
05:21Kross is a master at manipulation.
05:24And, and Blake at making an opponent have to fight two battles.
05:28A battle within themselves, and then there's the battle with him.
05:33That is where the line gets drawn with Karrion Kross.
05:36That's where it's kind of a gray area sometimes.
05:39Is he actually being helpful?
05:41I would say probably not.
05:43And, Vic, to that point, does Kross ultimately hold anyone particularly responsible for keeping him there?
05:48I think anybody who's in the ring with, I think he looks at Cruz del Toro here tonight as an obstacle.
05:52If that's Sami Zayn, boom!
05:54If that's AJ Styles, put whoever you want in there.
05:58Whoever is in the ring with him is the obstacle.
06:01That's the problem.
06:02That's the issue.
06:03As Kross here to the cover.
06:05Hooks the outside leg.
06:06Only gets two.
06:07You see that chip continue to grow on his shoulder right here.
06:09As Karrion Kross back in the driver's seat.
06:12Two straight wins here on main event.
06:14Is Kross perhaps accepting the idea of having to climb the proverbial ladder and continue to prove himself?
06:19I think deep down Karrion Kross.
06:21Oh!
06:22Believes he has already proved himself.
06:24Massive strike right there, Vic.
06:25That could do it.
06:26Del Toro down!
06:28But the treasure of Cordoba able to press out.
06:30I think the issue is, he doesn't believe that the general manager Adam Pearce has given him maybe some opportunities that he thinks he deserves.
06:38But much like I said with Cruz del Toro, nothing in the WWE is just handed to you.
06:43Oh, come on!
06:44Scarlett adding insult to injury here.
06:47Adding another layer to the offensive attack of Karrion Kross.
06:51As Kross and Scarlett have really paved their path of intellectual warfare.
06:56Back to manipulation.
06:58Scarlett's just as guilty of it and just as good at it as Kross is.
07:03Oh!
07:04As Kross looking to continue the punishment right here.
07:07Cruz del Toro, Sturdampa!
07:08There's that speed.
07:09And that's one way to chop down the tree.
07:11Takes Kross off of his feet here.
07:13There's a lot here for Cruz del Toro because this is a man along with the LWO that wants to represent this company when WWE returns to Mexico at the end of July.
07:22He, just like Karrion Kross, just like we talked about with BFAB at the Stardom main event.
07:27Every win is so important.
07:29Every time you step into the ring it's an opportunity to prove yourself.
07:33As we could be looking at a situation here where Cruz del Toro's single skills are a bit underrated by Karrion Kross.
07:39And Del Toro throwing everything he's got at Kross right now.
07:43Trying to pull off a huge upset.
07:44Is it underrated or is it forgotten because he is such a tag team specialist that he's in there right now reminding the world just how good he is.
07:52Remember, his tag team partner and LWO mate Dragon Lee picked up a big win over Karrion Kross several weeks back.
07:58Look at a follow in those footsteps right here.
08:00He's got the blueprint to get it done, right?
08:02And Del Toro.
08:04Quebrada!
08:05Beautifully connected!
08:07Goodness, do it!
08:08Kross's shoulders are down!
08:09Karrion able to kick out but, oh!
08:13Almost welcoming the punishment here as Del Toro not letting his foot off the gas.
08:17Talk about the king of the ring for this game.
08:21Talk about the king of the ring tournament, that last ticket is punched at the semifinals.
08:24Whoa, whoa, whoa!
08:25Looking for some sliced bread.
08:26We'll see that later on here on main event.
08:29Oh!
08:30Oh, that momentary hesitation just cost Del Toro.
08:33Ooh!
08:34Doomsday Saito!
08:35And Kross getting right into the zone here, Vic.
08:38Sands of time running out in the dial.
08:41Tick, tock.
08:43Starting to put Cruz Del Toro right in a position.
08:47And it might be time to see!
08:50One final prayer, and add another victim to the list of Cerebral Destruction.
08:59Here is your winner, Karrion Kross!
09:05Third straight win here on main event, Vic, as Karrion Kross really starting to make a statement.
09:10Yeah, bye, cleanser.
09:11chief 46 six eight of you will be your manager at the general shouted.
