Transcript
00:00Okay, I cannot wait for this me neither call. I've been excited all day long
00:08The following contest is scheduled for one call
00:26Introducing first from the Gulf of America
00:32Working at 202 pounds El Grande Americano
00:41This is a farce
00:44In what way?
00:45Okay, so we all know that Chad Gable and El Grande Americano are the same person
00:49No, we don't know
00:50Chad Gable is out with injury. He had a shoulder surgery, so this can't be him
00:54I'll get into this more in a minute. El Grande is in action live
01:02Okay, this luchador in the ring is a good foot taller than Gable slash El Grande Americano
01:16And how do you know that?
01:17Well, because I'm looking at the man
01:19So you can tell how tall somebody is just by looking at them from say I don't know 15-20 feet away
01:25I wonder if our one-eyed cameraman Grogan could get a shot of the back of the neck of El Grande Americano
01:31Because the original El Grande actually had a tattoo on the back of his neck
01:35Much like Chad Gable
01:37You can get tattoos removed these days Cole. It's big business as a matter of fact
01:41I considered it once or twice
01:43Really? So that quickly with no scarring?
01:45Absolutely
01:46Technology is amazing these days
01:48Gracias!
01:50Come on, say it with me, it's fun
01:53Yeah, but he doesn't quite get how El Grande Americano does those things
01:58This is El Grande Americano
02:02They are one in the same Michael Cole
02:04Chad Gable unfortunately is out with an injury
02:06Best wishes to the master
02:08Hope he's recovering well
02:10Hope he's enjoying some family time
02:12But right now, listen, I'm pretty sure El Grande Americano was speaking Spanish just now Cole
02:17Okay
02:20I can say CC Senor too
02:24That's yes, yes, gentlemen
02:26Thank you Michael, I appreciate that
02:28See I can translate as well, I'm bilingual
02:33Now here's a real luchador
02:35From the simulating
02:37If you can look at the same tis to the champs
02:38How you walk it through the flames
02:41How you walk it through the flames
02:42Do I struggle and live my pain
02:43Do I struggle and live my pain
02:44Do you stop my Ella's face
02:46And his opponent
02:48From Java, Hesney, school Mexico
02:51Wrigging 165 pounds
02:55Representing the LWO Dragon League
03:02i am not going to disagree with you about dragon lee being a quote-unquote real luchador this is
03:10the man who was christened as the future of lucha libre by ray mysterium but that doesn't mean el
03:16brande americano is any less of a luchador okay uh if you're dragon lee uh you should be extremely
03:23offended over the fact that some joker shows up puts a mask on and pretends to be a luchador
03:29what do you know about el grande americano this this still grande america as you know cole i have
03:37plenty of sources in the world of lucha libre that's right you are the voice of triple a that's
03:41right i am i sent a few text messages i made a few phone calls what you call your brother mr iguana
03:47and my brother neither of them have called me back yet but i'll get to the bottom of this
03:51i can't it's not fair to cassie dispersion
04:03of course it's going to be a great week of podcasts here in wwe including tomorrow morning raw recap i'm
04:10sure megan and sam are going to have a lot to say about this el grande americano la night the special
04:17guest tomorrow as well also have a the stephanie man podcast of course six feet under with the
04:22undertaker and cody rhodes as well meanwhile in the ring here dragon lee a true luchador set to do battle
04:29with um okay i'm just going to call him an imposter the el grande americano who's a good foot bigger than
04:35chad gable slash el grande americano doesn't have the tattoo that both of those men had on their neck and uh
04:42really doesn't even understand the uh well the idiosyncrasies that the the true el grande americano
04:47goes through listen i for one am offended with you casting all these aspers you need to calm down
04:51with the conspiracy theories alex jones okay this is el grande americano the one and only a superstar
04:58the world over which is why dragon lee is out here tonight because dragon lee understands the the the
05:04glory that would come with knocking off a legendary luchador like americano no dragon lee understands that
05:09this guy's making a farce of the entire lucha libre world and wants to make sure that uh he
05:13takes el grande americano down shoulders down listen i understand if dragon lee's a little fired up it
05:19was el grande americano who won the wwe speed championship from former champion dragon lee but
05:25does this guy actually carry the speed title what is this this guy you're one of those guys that
05:29thinks that giant machine was andre and i'm sure you think dusty was the midnight rider too
05:34there were two undertakers and here's the cover now and a kick out and i don't know why i'm even
05:39arguing with you because yet you are the voice of lucha libre a triple a working on it conan had
05:46some nice things to say about you and kicked to the midsection now by dragon lee makes one of my partners
05:53and el grande americano a little of premature celebration there
05:57up and over to the outside goes dragon lee face first into the top turnbuckle
06:04uh listen the guy couldn't even see his mask doesn't even down covering a kick out must be poor dry
06:11cleaning the mask is about two sizes too small for his head and a waist lock now applied by dragon is
06:21actually a measure of security a lot of luchadors wear their masks too tight because god forbid you get
06:25unmasked it's the ultimate disrespect i'd love to see this el grande americano get his mask ripped
06:31off right now you'd love to see a man's livelihood and everything that he's worked for and the
06:35traditions he represents disrespected in front of the world you'd like that wouldn't you one guy in
06:39the ring that should be wearing a mask that's the official i agree with you on that one oh nice drop
06:43toe hole by el grande into the second turnbuckle i meet met by dragon lee ronda's got me el grande is
06:49such a great luchador you're getting confused it's quite all right it happens to the best of us look at that
06:53on his feet now come on oh dragon lee with a drop kick right to the face
07:00so even you admit it's chad gable when you said gracias that's like thank you thank you
07:04they oh oh and now el grande americano i'm gonna i'm gonna take a look here and see if i can see
07:11el grande see look at there's no tattoo there's no tattoo on the back of his neck people get not at all
07:18removed all the time i had a tattoo right there looking at it this morning oh kick right between
07:23the eyes of dragon lee oh my god well i was up close and personal to this man the mask doesn't
07:29fit he has no tattoo as he whips dragon lee into the steel steps that's what you're going on yeah and
07:35he looked awfully familiar to me when i looked into those blue eyes
07:44that didn't sound like a spanish accent oh my goodness so so luchadores can only speak spanish
07:50is that the problem colt well he builds himself from mexico you're egregious you don't speak spanish either
07:56you get an interview el grande el grande i'd like to ask you a couple questions sir
08:16that didn't go over too well i believe he said no gracias plain as day
08:21it's in the middle of a highly competitive match and you think because he looks a little
08:28taller that it's a different human being well the strut looks a little uh
08:32a great little familiar el grande americano has clearly gotten himself in phenomenal shape he's
08:37been doing some different leg training obviously some extensive stretching so he built those legs in
08:43two and a half weeks miracle modern workouts i'm retired though i don't work out anymore but i
08:49imagine you do a couple squats maybe some ankle raises
08:55ankle dragon lee whipped into the corner now by okay el grande americano
09:03do you think he's so much bigger why don't you start calling him el trenta americano it's fine
09:08so oh wow what do you think chad gable is thinking right now i guarantee you he's watching
09:13this match i guarantee you chad gable is living vicariously through el grande americano
09:17well he's lived as him he might as well live vicariously through this guy you're out of control
09:27dragon lee is just being beaten down by el grande americano
09:33i like the confidence that el grande americano has developed in his strut the
09:37the swagger he's displaying tonight in the ring oh going to the throat
09:51very confident arrogant as well
09:52very slow pace for a luchador that's perhaps why americano has had so much success throughout the
10:03duration of his career he employs a very unusual style for the lucha libre world tough to solve of
10:09his career that's right i imagine el grande americano is likely a very handsome man underneath
10:16that mask hope someday the world gets he looked when i was i was a foot away from him he looked
10:21really familiar i couldn't put my finger on it i didn't say familiar i said handsome
10:25well grande americano was trying to remove the mask of dragon league if he respected the luchador
10:37tradition he wouldn't do that it's not so much that it's more that he doesn't respect dragon lee
10:42because dragon lee was pristened the future of lucha libre got it a title once upon a time held by el
10:48grande americano el grande americano slow to get to the top rope dragon lee looking to make him pay uh-oh uh-oh
10:56power bomb for the win kick out at two a massive victory for dragon lee
11:05looking for a little vengeance against the man who took the wwe speed championship from him
11:10el grande americano you can catch him do his thing ply his trade in wwe speed exclusively on x each and
11:17every wednesday and look at this now dragon lee looking to return the yeah i want to see who it is
11:24we mentioned this earlier chad gable uh out recovering from shoulder surgery you have to
11:30wonder chad's got to be watching this match and you got to wonder what he thinks about this version of
11:34el grande americano this version and you're speaking greek oh big kick in the bottom turnbuckle
