Custa: "Just makin' sure he believes it, you know?

He's got to believe in himself."

[Sighs] We lost.

And then you start recalling all the reasons why you lost, start questioning a lot of things,

because you know, obviously things went wrong when you lose.

After we lost, I was a little disappointed in myself.

I didn't really perform in Volskaya, and I didn't really perform in Oasis.

So, I was mainly disappointed in myself, but I knew we could have won the series if I had

played a little bit better.

Like, I don't know what's going on.

Maybe Bunny got me pressured, idk.

We started off really slow.

And felt like we could have played much better in the beginning.

And if we started off warmed up we could have took the win.

"It feels like you guys had a really tough first two maps.

Come to the dugout, and then go out and then play--[discussion] It just feels like the

entire team is just not prepared as a whole.

But it's always the same pattern.

We either give up the first two maps, or we needlessly fight hard to take them.

Like someone needs to make a super hard carry.

It doesn't feel like we're trying to win with the strategies we discussed, talked about

trying to do.

It feels like we take the map if someone is, like, in the mood the carry.

Like the first two maps have been like that since Dallas.

Mike: "Your PC's okay?"

Hello, my name is Finnbjorn Jonasson.

I'm from Iceland.

I'm 19.

And I play off-tank for LA Valiant.

Hi, my name is Kyle Frandanisa.

My IGN is KSF.

I play DPS for the LA Valiant and I'm from Washington State.

It's good to have more players here.

More eyes.

More focus, and all that kind of stuff.

So, i'm looking forward to when Isayaki gets in.

While Moon is gone, he gave us assignments for when we play competitive together.

And focus harder in scrims because towards the end we fall off a little bit.

Probably, Moon is the most important part of Valiant.

He's our head coach.

I think we'll be okay but it's obviously going to be a big adjustment because he came here,

he helped so much, and now he's going back for a little bit so we need to figure out

how to play without him.

Custa: It's going to be interesting to see how it all functions without him here.

You know, he's obviously important to the team.

I'm sure he'll still be 'present' in some manner.

But yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how the team keeps growing.

Because especially seeing, if we are coming out of this honeymoon period, this is the

time where it's more important to like, focus down, start working out the issues instead

of grinding them out.

This is the same scenario over again, you can actually go on stage and win the two next maps.

2-0, 2-0, done.

Going, for the 5th map.

It's something that we already saw many, many times.

You're always going to be in a honeymoon period of some sort.

Maybe it's over, we don't really know.

Like, there's definitely some cracks starting to show on the team where, at times we're

looking uncoordinated.

[discussion]

Custa: I can speak to this.

Kariv said that he was in positions that he shouldn't have been.

And that's how I felt in Anubis.

Like, every time Kariv died, and I'm like, I have no idea where Kariv died.

Like that one time where Winston pushed in, like, that's my fault.

Space: "We're talking about the same thing.

Like, we all made mistakes today.

Right?

And the last two games that we've lost, and even before the Dallas Fuel game.

You know, we come in the first two maps and we're not warmed up.

We're just not playing like we usually do, we're panicking, because mechanically we're

not high level.

But there really is no solution to that.

Because how far we live and even though like, today's match was 6 PM, so there should be

no excuse that nobody warmed up.

But still, some of us didn't warm up.

If we ever want to improve, we need to come into every match at 100% already.

And every match we come in at like 70% and then when we lose two maps, we all turn up

200% and then it's too late.

I don't like making excuses to lose but it's the truth, like we're always not warm.

We didn't deserve to win because of our situation.

Like, coming into the beginning.

If we won, it's just because they made a lot of mistakes.

So I feel like, if we prepare better for the next matches, you know, we'll never run into

that mistake again.

Dr. Doug: You guys bring up the right point.

Ok, before, we were having issues, no one wanted to come here early because everyone

was sitting around and not doing anything.

But if you look at any professional sport team, there usually, where ever they're playing,

4-5 hours before they're doing stuff to get themselves ready.

Okay, always.

And while it might be a bit on the staff, I think it's on everybody.

We have to make the decision to come here, and get ourselves ready to go as a team.

You need to be out there frothing a little bit.

You need to have worked up a little bit of a sweat.

You have needed to be thinking and working and coordinating as a team.

So we're not utilizing our time as good as we can.

Plus, if you get out here earlier, you're not sitting in 90 minutes of traffic.

It's going to take you 50 minutes to get here.

Then we eat, we scrim, we get ready, and then we take the stage, we already got our sweat

going.

And so I think that's an absolutely critical piece to our success.

Once again, a team hasn't really beat us; we've beaten ourselves.

Um, and, it's really becoming evident that we still have a lot to work on, which is how

it was always going to be.

It was never going to be perfect forever.

We're working really hard to try and find our position, and work out how it's going

to function and fix all these issues.

But, it's still going to take time.

Drew McIntyre Is The Future Of WWE Raw! | WrestleTalk Opinion - Duration: 4:39.

The former Drew Galloway - now named Drew McIntyre - made his return to WWE last year.

Drew debuted in the crowd at NXT TakeOver: Orlando, and won the NXT Championship at TakeOver:

Brooklyn III from Bobby Roode just a few months later.

Sadly an injury suffered during his title defence against Andrade "Cien" Almas at

TakeOver: War Games cut his run championship short, but McIntyre made his triumphant re-debut

on the main roster during the Superstar Shake-Up 2018 to team with Dolph Ziggler.

During our WrestleRamble review of that episode of Raw, both Oli and I were slightly disappointed

that this was how Drew McIntyre made his return to the WWE main roster.

I personally felt that someone of Drew's talents should have been used in the Bobby

Roode spot later in the night - the surprise fifth man against Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn,

The Miz and The Miztorage.

Or better yet, head over to Smackdown Live where he'd have been of that awesome main

event scene alongside AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe and his

War Games foe Andrade "Cien" Almas.

But that was a slightly negative way to look at the situation.

I may be over Dolph Ziggler, but at least Drew is back on the main roster, he looked

kick ass and that Claymore/Zig-Zag combo is sweet af.

And going by this past Raw, I was perhaps wrong to think the way I did about the team

[6-screen].

Dolph and Drew had a pretty good squash match against Titus Worldwide, with some cool offence

and that awesome finisher.

I still hate Dolph's record scratch gimmick because it makes no sense, but the team show

some interesting promise.

It's not too dissimilar to the team of Shawn Michaels and Diesel - and I appreciate I am

not the first person to notice the similarity.

That Two Dudes WIth Attitude tag team was designed to make Diesel a top star in WWE,

getting the rub from Shawn Michaels so they could turn Big Daddy Cool babyface and then

feud with HBK over the WWF Championship.

And if that's the route we want to take Drew, then I'm all for it.

Even if the last thing Dolph Ziggler needs is more comparisons to Shawn Michaels.

After their match against Titus Worldwide, Dolph and Drew cut a promo - with Ziggler

doing his usual schtick and Drew highlighting how he's a real wrestler and everyone in

the back is just soft and collecting paycheques.

It was at this point I realised that this tag team plan to make Drew a star is doomed

from the start - Drew already is a star.

Oli and I had slightly different takes on this in our WrestleRamble review, but for

my money Drew is already out-shining Dolph in almost every aspect.

His look is so much cooler, his entrance music is vastly superior, his promo was much better,

and his in-ring work was crisper, smoother and more devastating to watch.

Drew doesn't need Dolph to help get him over as a main event attraction, he's an

out-of-the-box pre-prepared main event player.

I'm not even trying to bad mouth Dolph here as Ziggler's promo and in-ring work was

as good as ever, but Drew was just so much better.

Drew's success on the main roster could be tied to how long he's in this team with

Dolph Ziggler.

If this is a long-term thing, Drew might get molded into that tag team player formula and

be seen as that by the casual fan - the same issue Big Cass suffered after his split with

Enzo.

But if this team is just a short-term deal to establish Drew on the main roster, then

you could almost call it quits after Backlash and slot Drew right into that Universal Championship

scene.

As we mentioned in the WrestleRamble, Raw is currently lacking true main event level

heels.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn - through no fault of their own - have been slotted by WWE in

that upper midcard slot - likely to feud with Seth Rollins and Finn Balor who have also

been put in that Intercontinental Championship scene.

That means that Raw's main event scene is made up of Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and

Bobby Lashley - all babyfaces.

We don't know how much longer Brock Lesnar is going to be around for - but even then

he's not around all the time.

Raw is in need of a number one heel - and Drew is the ideal candidate.

Drew McIntyre always seemed to have that potential in him during his first WWE run, a solid in-ring

worker with a great look - he was given the ultimate push by being Vince McMahon's chosen

one.

The dirt sheets at the time reported that Drew was set to win the World Heavyweight

Championship at some point, but something went wrong.

Before you could say 'what the heckins happened', Drew was part of comedy jobber team 3MB alongside

Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal.

Thinking about it I might not be the biggest supporter of Dolph and Drew as a team, but

the other option could have been a 3MB reunion seen as though all of them are now on Raw.

But since leaving WWE, Drew has shown what a main event talent he is; winning championships

in Evolve, Impact, ICW and WCPW.

Let's just hope that WWE also see this future in him too, because Drew is someone you could

draw a lot of money with.
