Perfect. Aijo, how are you? So good. Thanks for having me. This is great. Perfect. I'm so happy to have you here. I'm very excited for this talk, and I will let you take it away right now. Love it. Great. Okay. Let me share my screen. Y'all, there we go. I'm going to sing till I get my screen on. Love it. Okay. Thank you. All right, y'all. This gets started. I got like 30 minutes here to like whiz through the fundamentals. So let's do it. Okay. This is an introduction to IoT or the Internet of Toilets. Or in other words, how I built an Internet-connected kitty litter box using JavaScript in my free time. All right. Jump in. Why does this matter? Why the heck are y'all here? Well, did you know IoT is kind of a big deal? I don't know if you knew that, but it really is. And it's just getting bigger. I think we're seeing more and more devices get integrated every single year. And we're seeing more and more ways to start programming with those. I'm sure some of you have an Alexa or Google Home or a smartwatch or whatever. I think that trend is not stopping anytime soon. I do want to say I think some of the trends probably are a little overblown. Whatever. It's fine. But I do think that generally speaking, the trend towards Internet-connected devices is not going to stop anytime soon. The more you know. Okay. So who am I? My name is Joe Carlson. I work for a little company called MongoDB. I'm a developer advocate and software engineer. If you want to hit me up, best way to do that is on Twitter. I make funny videos on TikTok if that's your thing. If it's not, who cares? That's fine. If you want to follow along with any of the slides, videos, resources, links, schemas, source code, whatever, you can go to that little short link there. Or you can scan that little thing in the upper right hand corner, that little QR code. If you ever see that QR code, it's just going to take you to a page with all the resources. So I hope you take advantage of that. Last but not least here, if I say anything controversial today, just know it's me and not my company speaking, these controversial things. I'm just begging you, please don't get me fired. I really like my job. Okay, great, let's jump in. So why should you listen to me? I love making internet-connected devices. This is a little magic mirror I built. It's a two-way mirror, Raspberry Pi, and a refurbished computer to monitor. I sold for my old job, but it shows me calendar, stats, when listening to Spotify, weather, New York Times headlines, and gives me little affirmations, which I need. I have low self-esteem, so I tell my computers to make me feel better, which works. Another fun project I have is my Moodlite. These are 3D printed panels. If anyone's familiar with the Nanoleaf, they're super expensive. It's like 300 bucks for nine of those little things, so I decided to build my own. There's a little web-connected panel in there, so I can actually control the LEDs, you know, just from my web app, which is dope. Anyway, I built that, which is super fun. Okay, again, if you want to follow along, please go check with that link, scan that QR code. You'll love it. Okay, what are we going to talk about today? A couple things. I'm just going to introduce IoT. We're going to go really fast through it. I think most of you guys know about what IoT is, if you're here. I'm going to talk about why you should be considering using JavaScript for your next IoT project. I want to go over some data-best practices for IoT. I want to go over a practical project, my IoT kitty litter box, and I'm going to make wild speculations about the future of IoT and tech.  You can come back to this like six years, and we can all laugh and point to how ridiculous my claims were. But hey, it's fun to speculate, you know? Okay, what the heck is IoT? Is it anything you put a chip in, people? Come on. But I just want to talk about my favorite parts about IoT R and why I like exploring. I love exploring the boundaries of art and tech. I personally believe that is the artistic, like computers are the artistic medium of our generation. And the people watching this, we are uniquely qualified to explore this medium, right?    I don't know. I think that's where creative ideas come out of. And I like exploring that. In fact, I like it so much.  This is the website. People are building fun stuff. Someone made a web app that, someone made a six foot large fidget spinner. Someone made an app that only takes photos when they shake the camera, so it only takes blurry photos.  Okay, so IoT. I love it. I think it's fun. I hope you love it too. I hope I'm also going to inspire you to maybe explore some new IoT projects by doing this. But why should you be considering using JavaScript for your next IoT projects? I don't know. Let's find out. So did you know that 58% of IoT developers actually self-identify as no developers? Wow, that's a lot. That's a quorum. That's over half, baby. Did you know JavaScript makes a great choice for new developers? I bet you already knew that. But what you may not have known is that job or with IoT projects, traditionally you're using lower level programming languages like C or C++. This is just my opinion. I'm very biased in this regard. But I think that JavaScript is a much easier programming language to develop for newbies. You have to deal with memory management. There's a garbage collector. It does a bunch of cool stuff for RGU. There are reasons when you would want to make a project in C and C++ or low level programming languages like Rust. But if you're just getting started, learning a hardware is hard enough. Just like, why have to learn a new programming language on top of it? Just do, you know what I mean? Easy to update. Traditionally with low level hardware languages, you have to reflash that piece of hardware with your new binary code. You do not have to do that with JavaScript code.  You did an update. You updated your fleet of IoT devices out in the field, and you're done. You're done. It's easy, okay? JavaScript is already the language of the web. All right, baby. Cool, right? Let's just like keep it going. Why stop there? Let's just keep it going for IoT. Why not? Hey, and did you know there's a ton of existing libraries, tools, and frameworks that already exist to help you make IoT projects using JavaScript? Two big ones today are CylonJS and Johnny5. I personally built my project using Johnny5. I think it's great. Cylon is great.  You can't go wrong. Okay, and JavaScript is great at handling events, driven applications, right? We already have that. We have a whole thing called CBs or callback functions, right? On some sort of asynchronous event, you do something. It's a foundation of node. It's how we handle asynchronous events in the cut cloud. That's how we do stuff, right? And if you think about the architecture of IoT devices, traditionally how they're working, is they're waiting for events to fire off on some sort of sensor. Maybe you have some sort of luminescence event on a light sensor or some sort of moisture level to hit or some sort of carbon monoxide level to hit on the sensor before you want to trigger some code to run, right? The world is just a series of asynchronous functions we're developing code around. Also, events reduce the cost of listening to devices. It's just like we have a single-threaded event loop, right, which we just learned about. Cool, right? You can just reduce the cost if you can just like handle those events when they come up instead of listening and performing things all the time, you know? Oh, yeah. Thank you for posting. I've seen that's Joel posting stuff here. I'm going to post a link. These are the link to all of the resources included in this talk, so I hope you check those out. Okay, so let's do a quick recap here. Why IoT and JS? Most devs are already using it, 58%. Come on. It's super easy to learn from new devs. It's easy to update MPMs or get pull MPMs themselves super easy. Internet already speaks JavaScript. Let's keep it going. Tons of great libraries. JavaScript's event-driven, right? Which is how we architect IoT devices anyways. Okay. All right, so showing my cards here. I'm a MongoDB developer. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention data best practices for making IoT projects. So I'm just going to go over what we do with all the data and things that you, dear listener, should be considering when choosing your database, right? It doesn't have to be MongoDB, but these are just general things that you want to make sure you're considering when picking your next database. So first of all, your database needs to be able to ingest lots of data simultaneously. This is an engine I have a fleet of IoT kitty litter boxes out there, like a million. And all those are sending read or write data every minute back to my home server database. That's a lot of data. Like IoT data massively grows super quickly because typically what we're doing is keeping a time series data, which we'll get to in a second. It also should be event-driven, right? IoT architectures are by their nature event-driven. You want to make sure your database can handle that as well. Flexible schema. Hey, did you know MongoDB is not a schema-based database? It's actually a flexible schema database. You can actually enforce the schema from a database level and you don't need Mongoose. The more you know. But for example, with my project, I added a couple new sensors to my project. Cool. And I was able to update that easily using... What's the word? I was using MongoDB. So I added a new door sensor to tell when I open it. And I just updated my time because I didn't really care about my old time series data. So I could just add that new sensor data and it was not a problem. Super easy. IoT is a specially great use case for flexible schema models. Handles time series data. Typically what you want to do is build your schemas and your databases in a way that you're going to be digesting that data. And typically what we do with IoT devices is we make charts showing sensor data over time. How I built my time series data reflected how I wanted to chart it, which would be like, I want to see the number of times my cat goes to the bathroom a day, how many times it gets cleaned a day, and changes in my cat's weight daily over time. Of course, you can do some more interesting stuff for that too, but you want to make sure you natively can handle it. And I'm going to show you a little bit more about that in just a second. So anyways, I might be biased. I may be biased, but MongoDB is a great choice for considering your next IoT project. Something to consider, right? Does all those things super well and way more, which won't be able to get to in this one. Okay, so IoT best practices, quick review here. You need a database that can ingest data quickly. It should be event driven, just like the architecture of your IoT projects. It should have a flexible schema, so you can add or change sensor data easily. And with IoT time series data, it makes it, you don't really usually care about legacy data or like gets out of date pretty quickly. So it's a especially good use case for flexible schema. And make sure database can handle a time series database schema. Neatly. Okay, great. Let's get to the fun part, everyone. The moment we've all been waiting for. Let's get to something practical. Let's get to my IoT kitty litter box, the titular box. This is actually the box I built. I didn't build like the wood part of it, but it's a mid-century modern box. I know it's a little bit extra. I know it's a little bit extra. It's fine. It's fine. You could just get one of those $20 plastic ones from Amazon. Those are totally fine too. I just like it's out in the middle of my living room because I have one bedroom apartment. I don't have any rest to put it. It's whatever you want. You know what I mean? I know it's extra. Also a fun fact. This is my cat BMO, like Adventure Time. I don't have any Adventure Time fans here. But this is him eating the box while I was building it. Just a word of caution. If you have a cat, they will eat the wires.  I had to get him out of there. But he's loving it. He's eating those load sensors in particular here, which we'll get into in a sec.  Turns out this is actually a real product. Wired gave it an 8 out of 10. And look at this. It costs $500. Why am I not monetizing this?   I don't know what I'm doing. This may actually be a good idea. You guys could take this from me and monetize it if you want. I don't know. Whatever. It's open source. It's totally free. Do whatever you want. OK. So how does my box work? So you got your box, baby, right? What happens is I done a little door. Once that opens up, there's a magnetic sensor in it that determines when I open and close that. So when I open that box up, what I'm doing is either cleaning or adding litter to that box. And I tell you that that goes into maintenance. Right? So either I'm changing the weight of that box. I want to put that lid back on. There we go. There's the lid. The lid goes back on. What we do is we initialize the base weight of that box. So I basically have a smart bathroom scale underneath that box. And it just measures that base weight of the box. Then what we do is we wait. We just wait. We wait for an event to happen, which in this case is a cat-sized object entering that box. I don't actually know if it's a cat. It could be a raccoon. It could be a possum. It could be a small person. But I'm going to assume it's a cat if it's about it. 15 to 20 pound object enters that box. We wait to initialize a little bit. Right? We do some stuff. Cat does its business. Cool. But then what we do after that cat does its business, we record the event. And I passively measure my cat's weight. So when he enters the box, we have that base weight with a cat-sized object. I'm able to determine his weight every single time he uses that box. And I'd save that to a MongoDB database in the cloud using Atlas. Okay, great. So cat does its business. We record the MongoDB Atlas in the cloud, database cloud. Cat runs away and we reset and re-initialize for a new base weight after about a minute. I let it settle down a little bit. And then we just wait for a new event, either a new maintenance event or a new cat using the box event. Either or. I don't know. Okay, cool. If you want to check that code out, oh, I got to update that link there, but whatever. First step for building an IoT project is just making an LED blink. This is the me really building, making the IoT blink, or that LED blink on and off. And what does that look like? With Johnny 5, all you're doing is, Johnny 5 works with a bunch of different processors. I'm using a Raspberry Pi. So I bring in the Raspberry Pi package and I initialize a brand new Johnny 5 board telling it it's a Raspberry Pi. Next thing, once that board's ready and initialized, all I do is I instantiate a brand new LED. I say it's on the 13th GPIO. I couldn't tell you what that was. I had to Google it when I hooked it up. And then there's a built-in function telling it to blink. That's it. It's super. What's the word? Like expressive, super easy to use, and that's all the code it took to get the LED to blink. Pretty dope, right? All right. Let's make a toilet. All right. Easy peasy part. We're going to initialize that board again. The only thing we're going to do differently this time, instead of initializing LED, I'm initializing a magnetic switch on the 16th GPIO pin. And I'm basically, there's two states open or close, and I can change the maintenance mode of the box, depending on the state of that switch. Easy. That's it, right? That's it. Let's see this in action. So I got the box here. You can see a little white thing on the thing there. That's the magnetic switch I got screwed into the board there. I'm open and closing it, and you can see it registering on the laptop that it's being open and closed. In real time. So I can determine the state of the box using Johnny 5 and JavaScript. Pretty dope. All right. Load cells. I got to be honest with y'all here. I had to get a little creative here. It didn't work out of the box. What I did have to use is spawn trial process with node, and I spun up a Python sub-process that was able to actually interface with the load cells I purchased from Alibaba. It's super easy. All it does is take standard output from the Python thread and reads that up. So I just parse float that and then update the average weights. And there's some other stuff you can do with it. I do want to just show you really fast the Python code here. Don't worry about it too much. The most important part is this line, print val. Doing a standard output on the trial process sends the data automatically up to the parent process via spawn trial process. It was amazing, super cool, great. And it's all my problem really elegantly, which I'm very, very proud of. By the way, if anyone has any questions, please hit me up in the chat. I'm going to answer. I'm keeping an eye on the chat over here. I'd love to help you. All right, but let's take a look at these load cells in action. This isn't the best video, but it's all I got, all right? So at Pie Wood, I have the load cells mounted underneath of them. And I'm pressing on that board and just second I'm on pan over here, you can see the weight being registered in real time on my laptop. LED or the load cells are working. So I can start determining the weight of that board instantly. All right, IoT time series data. I'm just going to go fast through this. All right, but if anyone wants any free MongoDB credits, I got $100 there. Hit up that free link or that QR code and hook you up with $100. Okay, time series data. This is what my schema actually looks like. So every single day I produce a brand new document. I have some metadata on it. And then you'll notice I have an array of events. And every time a event, a maintenance or cat detected event happens, I add that to that array. As you can see here, I have two bathroom events and one cleaning event happened that day. And each of those bathroom events, I'm actually keeping track of my cat's weight on there as well. Ain't that dope, y'all? All right, this is the final box assembly here as well. I'm running out of time doing the full plug-in. That's it. Hides away. You can see the Raspberry Pi just mounted the inside. I got some wires that hide away pretty nice.  I had to trick him to treat to look at it. All right, quick recap. What did we just talk about? IoT key to their box. We went over the whole world of IoT making the LED blink. Make sure everything's initialized correctly. All right, y'all. Next thing we do, we covered how we program the switches in load cells using Johnny 5, a Raspberry Pi, and some JavaScript. Holy cow, I'm getting a phone call. Then we covered time series schemas for IoT data. Cool. All right. Lastly, this speculate wildly about the future of IoT, huh? So first up, I'm predicting smaller, more powerful devices. No shit, right? We're going to see tighter integration into more things. We're integrating our clothing and tools and everything. We're going to see a lot of that stuff in the future. Next up, we're going to see JavaScript with it continuing to get a smaller footprint. See Rust and C++ continue to have the upper hand on JavaScript in terms of small footprints. But we're seeing more optimized versions of JavaScript for IoT devices already emerging. And I don't think that trend is going to stop anytime soon. Also seeing better hardware support. So again, my load cells didn't work. I had to find a Python library to work with them. But that hardware support is continuing to be better. What's the word? We're seeing better support everywhere. And this is true of everything. Batteries are the bottleneck. As devices get smaller, more powerful, they generate more heat and more energy. Batteries are not where we need them to be to support free roaming IoT devices yet. Lithium is still really expensive. They're not great. We're still waiting on that. So let's do a quick recap recap here. What do we talk about? IoT, it's exploding.  It's great. Why IoT and JS? IoT developers, 58% of them already stuff identify as no developers. JavaScript is great for new developers. C plus C, Rust and C plus plus are great though as well. They just do different things in the herd to learn. Use what you know. It's easy to update over a network. Get poll, MPM install, you're done. JavaScript is already language of the web, baby. Come on. Tons of great libraries and support. And JavaScript is event driven, which reduces energy intake for a piece of hardware. We covered IoT data best practices, which includes finding a database that can ingest right requests quickly and concurrently. You want one that is also event driven. And you should get one that is a flexible schema, because IoT sensor data and time series data is particularly suited for flexible type schema. Time series data, of course, works best. Try to find a database that can handle as natively as possible. Then we covered my IoT kitty litter box. And the hello world using Johnny 5, making the LED blink. If you're ever going to do an IoT project, make sure you make an LED blink first. Make sure you get it all set up correctly, right? Then we covered how to handle switches and load cells on my project. And we covered IoT time series schema. And then we made wild speculations about the future of IoT, including smaller, more powerful devices, JavaScript with a smaller footprint, better hardware support, and speculation and though we already know what batteries are the bottleneck. Okay, so if I've inspired you at all to become an IoT JavaScript master, how the heck do you do it? Okay, this is going to sound really dumb, but y'all just do it. Watching the talk, like me talk about my project, you're not going to learn how to do something. NBA players don't watch video of other NBA players to get better at it. What do they do? They practice. They go out and do it, right? They get on the, they get on the court. Same thing with developers. I need jobs.  Try to just make an LED blink. It doesn't have to be good. Make it just for you, but try to do it. It's the only way to learn and to fully grok a subject. Boy, I've been talking a million miles an hour. Does anyone have any questions? I haven't seen anything pop up from the chat, but please ask me now. I'll be in the Dev Nation Slack channel if you have any questions. Otherwise, the best way to get a hold of me is on Twitter, as I've said many times. If you want any of the link, the schema, the source code, instructions where to build the stuff, definitely check out this link here. If you want $100 in free Atlas credits, this is also on that page, but you can definitely scan that QR code. Here's some additional resources here as well. I just want to say thank you so much for Joel, for having me here. Thanks to Red Hat for having me here. Thank you all for putting up with me. I love you all so much. You're absolutely incredible. And be sure to follow me on Twitter. If you want more of this, huh? If you want more of this, you should for sure hit the up. Thank you so much, Joel. That was a great talk. Thank you. I'm very informative. Thank you. Thank you very much for that as well. I've got a lot of very good comments here. Would you mind sharing the links in the Slack channel as well? Yes. I'm trying to cross pose because there's confusion between all the different chats. There's chats everywhere. Absolutely. I've tried your Atlas credits link as well. I'm not sure if it works, so you might want to check that one. Maybe I just typed it in a little bit too quickly. I for sure could have messed it up. I'll make sure I get that posted on there as well though. Perfect. Perfect. There is one question by Adan Rodriguez Garcia. Yes, Super. Any micro that you suggest to start up with? Any micro? Like a microchip or anything? Is that the chip they're asking for? I'm assuming microchip. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, this is great. I saw someone said the ESP8266, which is great. I actually built my Moodlight thing with that. However, what I would actually recommend is using a Raspberry Pi. It's big and chunky, but it's 35 bucks and it has a Unix-like environment on it. It's stripped down version. So it's like an environment we're used to working with. And I was able to troubleshoot a bunch of stuff in there. If you want to get more advanced, you could totally can. Oh, seems like we've lost Joe. But yes, I guess you can definitely use ESP, as he said. It definitely works with Johnny 5 as well. Arduino is also available and works out of the box with Johnny 5 as well. So those are nice options if you want to try them out. All right, so let me just get out of the way for one second. Where is my monitor right here? So you have all the links right there. So for the chat, you can find a chat either in Slack, be part of the community there. We will also post a bunch of different things, and you can also follow what's going on in the multiple tracks as well. You can find information to track channel is JavaScript September 20, and a full agenda for our Dev Nation Day today is available at dn.dev slash dnd agenda.


What's good Josh your boy Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out ten worst WWE Saudi Arabia matches Man, since we just finished off checking out one of if not the best Saudi Arabia show for crown jewel We have ever had so far We got to check this one out the top ten worst matches from that that Pay-per-view series so far man. This is from parts fun known. I think I pronounced it I think I said it correctly this time always mess this name up But I know you guys been wanting me to check out his how he would have booked it WWE series So if you if there's a particular one from the series, I know he did one for How he would have booked the fiend. I know I think he did one for seeing punk I think he's done some for other other storylines and wrestlers as well So if you want me to check out that series from him, let me know down below Which one you want me to check out and also run up the like button Smash the like button on this video. That'll also let me know that you guys are interested in wanting me to check out Some more of parts fun known. So we're gonna do this man. I know there's gonna be some some awful matches on this on this This list here is compilation here. So let's check this out. Appreciate all of sport. We're almost at 60k y'all We're almost there man. So let's get right into it Bollocks, so in case you missed it I biggest air quotes in the world won the opportunity to compete against Ali for Pete's Jam Nat Championship at the next major WWE show Unfortunately that major show is crown bloody jewel bloody being an explosive and a descriptor crown jewel is WWE's first Saudi show since the pandemic and God how I secretly hope that the pandemic had somehow made WWE's contract with the Saudi regime evaporate, but no no no here we go again these shows for a number of different reasons Suck first because they're corporate deference to a regime that murders journalists and doesn't have a definition of human rights in their dictionary But also these shows just they suck they're glorified house shows But at least a house shows nothing's booked to happen So all the baby faces go over and people try to at least have an uncomplicated good time at these toilet brush Foul smelling extravaganza not only are they even though they are you know Surrounded in controversy and some people don't like to check these shows out I know we did for you guys on stream and be honest with you This was the best show they've done so far since having the Saudi shows the cards are mostly terrible But they routinely come coupled with some flabbergastingly bad booking decisions Only five Saudi shows, but even then this was a hard list to make that's how uniformly asked these shows up I don't want to watch crown jewel that seeing as I have to you all have to suffer with me I'm Adam Haling from parts fun known and these are the 10 worst WWE matches to happen in Saudi Arabia Please like and subscribe.  Please number 10 Shane McMahon versus Dolph Ziggler crown jewel 2018 AKA the match where a chopper below and he was crowned the best wrestler in the world. Oh, yeah This is when Shane McMahon was a heel He was like I want to say he was like the GM of SmackDown at the time. So he was a heel. I Could be wrong there, but it was he was a heel, but it wasn't one of those things where it was like a Good heel like you love to hate the guy you want to see the guy lose He he was becoming one of those Okay, get off my TV type here because he was kind of overshadowing the talent and He was in certain himself and things he I didn't it didn't make sense You know, it was kind of it was kind of getting boring. It was a getting annoying in a sense So when they did this whole tournament It really To have Shane win it just was like, you know, he's not even really a wrestler Like that you haven't win a tournament saying he's the best in the world Super cringe and like all true dance. He did it in his jeans The entire tour was a bit topsy-turvy because lest we forget a tournament to crown and it bears repeating the best Raster in the world had wrestlers featuring Seth Rollins Ray Mysterio Kurt Angle and Randy Orton that came down to Dolph Ziggler versus the Miz Which is like a best film ever tournament coming down to Mission Impossible 2 versus Ice Age fine But come on miss suffered a bad case of K Fabian had to forfeit the match But Shane McMahon who cares so much about your entertainment that he repeatedly charges you to watch him wrestle took off his jacket Put up his famously terrible dukes and beat Ziggler very quickly and so the best oh wait Maybe he wasn't a heel. I think maybe he was a face at this time. I don't know But it was it was starting to get a little bit annoying. I don't remember exactly I do remember he had his heel run At at some point as the GM But at this point, maybe he was a heel. Maybe it was a face either way That was the wrong decision to have him whole win that that that tournament That was just a waste of everyone's time Best wrestler in the world was crowned admits much rejoicing one month to the day after the death of Jamal Khashoggi These shows and it gets worse from here number nine a to wake gauntlet Super showdown 2020 his kid bashing his favorite toy against the floor Who do you like Vince asks the Saudis? We like the undertaker. Can he still wrestle? Um says Vince looking over at taker in his hospital bed more machine now than man Yeah Kind of these shows have all but eradicated the final vestiges of the dead man's precarious Yeah, the worst matches are yet to come in this list and I bet you can guess him But let's talk about the two-way trophy gauntlet a match tired day from beyond the grave One with a single bad-looking choke slam despite not being in it Then pissing off back to have a lie and a hammock without you Yeah, I remember that like he just came out of nowhere and then He did a choke slam and AJ Styles. I was just like, huh What I was so confused. I was like, bro.  Thanks for lasting 20 goddamn minutes number eight Brock Yeah Them Saudi shows whoo they man No, bro, I think This previous one was the first time I watched the entire show and just be honest I think that was the first time I actually watched the entire show in its entirety Usually I just watched the clips on YouTube teen So in the wake of Roman Reigns vacating the universal title after revealing that has leukemia to return WWE advertised Lesnar versus Strowman for the title for context Brock Lesnar had held the title for a year and a half and fans were happy to have the title on weekly TV again We want to just had his momentum crushed with a botched heel turn being screwed by out of his briefcase cash And also Strowman had already lost to Lesnar the year before so Strowman wins in a layup, right? Oh, yeah, you don't know Saudi Arabia.  I hate it number seven Brock Lesnar versus Cain Velasquez crown Sort of Smackdown on Fox WWE but Brock Lesnar to beat Kofi Kingston in one move So he could have enough time to run an angle with the debut in Cain Velasquez.  You know what's good about wrestling be all they build up and it was it the match did not Live up to it at all.  What is this? Being fake is that you can plan exciting things and then make those exciting things happen This match was the first and only one to feature Cain Velasquez before the company went on to release him six months later Bloody hell. Thanks for coming. The show was partially sold on this two minutes Yeah, it was Tyson fury versus Braun Strowman went a little longer wasn't a lot better But at least it was a thing. This was nothing. Sorry Kofi number six Shane McMahon versus Roman Kofi you got to show it in a stick on that one rain super showdown 2019 the best wrestler in the world versus the big Dog a sellout no matter which arena you book it in crikey Moses this match though ten minutes that felt like Shane McMahon Dominates Roman Reigns with his crappy little punches like a cat batting a piece of paper around the table Sure, it's mostly down to McIntyre interference But so much of this match is Shane at this point Shane was full heel at this time Drenched in sweat looking like Paulie from the soprano's after he's been chased by Rainstorm pink with no kidney failure praying to his dad that his heart won't explode holding Roman Reigns in endless rest holds Why the crowd dies and dies and dies? Look at him. Look at him trying to be MMA on Roman It's like a CEO paying his fitness instructor Just let him beat him up for ten minutes because he's in a midlife crisis and then at the end of it Man wins.   What's the second? That would be number five last Sullivan versus lucha house party that see this one 2019 Hey, everyone and everything but especially this match, but especially Bart last Sullivan debuted on the main roster in April 2019 and proceeded to have only one notable feud a woeful series of matches against lucha house party a stable made up of Kalisto Grand Metalik and lince d'arado and the tagline for that stable might as well have been You cruiserweight classic before Sullivan got injured in that feud benching him for over a year They had this match at super showdown 2019 and to call it the drizzling Shits would be to give IBS a bad name a three-on-one handicap match We're in the baby faces cheat in order to gang up on the monster heel ending the match in a DQ Just let that fucking sink in for a little bit. What's the point? What's the point of any of that the five minutes that lead up to one of the worst finishes on a major? WWE show would be a grim omen for the kind of wrestling that would take place a year later because the match occurs to absolute Silence broken only by LHP's ill-fated attempts to get a lucha chant going. It's Jen It's genuinely painful to watch as Sullivan manhandles the baby face so that only thing I did not see this Corey Graves on commentary describing Lars as something Hannibal Lecter dreamed up in a lab That's not who Hannibal Lecter is to which Michael Cole responded good point Jesus wet number four Brock Lesnar versus ricochet super show. That's crazy Brock Lesnar is featured on a lot of these matches, man We're down 2020. How can a how can a promotion waste ricochet? How do you screw that up one of the most imaginative and awe-inspiring high flyers not only of his generation, but all time How'd your bollocks up someone that talented this bad at Super Showdown 2020, which is probably one of the most baffling pay-per-views WWE have ever produced WWE booked ricochet to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship in everyone around the world thought one thing Ricky's not gonna win this one, but it'll be super fun to see what kind of sir Yeah, that's that's really what it was the general consensus. We know he's not gonna win, but it should be an entertaining High-flying match that you know saying Brock will probably sell for and should be good To Salih flippies he can pull off against the base as strong as Brock Lesnar how wrong we were Brock Lesnar doing what he does best in Saudi, which is turn up win and piss off immediately Buried ricochet the word buried is overused in wrestling journalism often used to create undue emotion around a fairly standard loss Not so here. This is a burial ricochet does not get one move of offense on Lesnar and is destroyed to such an extent that he looks really bad at wrestling greatly diminishing his future star power And that is what a burial truly is horrific booking. Why not just have a match? You're both there Let's have a f***ing match maddening and speaking of rage number three Goldberg This is where my disdain for Goldberg Intensifies if this is the match. I think he's talking about it could be the match I think he's talking about you guys know the match on what I'm about to say here This is where my disdainful Goldberg started to really occur and Yep, there it is the fiend versus Goldberg when I say At this point I was really done With Goldberg. This is where it started for me. Me personally it just Come on now someone would say maybe it should have started with them in the undertaker going Going head-to-head. They're both old guys trying to you know, give it their best.  He needs wins and you have him lose To someone who's in their fifties, bro. They're late fifties We're not talking about an edge that's pulling off some great fantastic matches We're talking about someone that can barely go ten minutes in a ring. They're losing to you someone that is somewhat still trying to remain over has came up with one of the most craziest gimmicks wrestling has ever seen and Continuously shows his creative talent In the ring and outside the ring and this is what you do you book them against Goldberg to lose Okay for showdown 2020 I mean what you say about this hasn't been said in a thousand ways and a thousand songs all of which have the same lyrics Which is grown adults sobbing into their hands wondering why they pay their monthly subscription to the stupidest wrestling company in the world What else can you say about a match where the unstoppable final boss you've been building for half a year even booking that terrible Hell in a cell finished to showcase his unstoppability Just we beef sit when confronted with the world's most redundant gimmick and gets fed his own giant clown shoes the months before WrestleMania please what is the point please even without the worst booking decision of the year the matches is so bad Spears mandible claws and a botch jackhammer. Yeah, that's your law That's your main event and somehow some way. It's not Goldberg's worst Saudi Arabia match That would be number two Goldberg versus the undertaker showdown 2020 no, I have still never seen this match and I think that's probably why I Give Goldberg in the undertaker a pass because my eyes didn't witness this atrocity I just knew it was awful from everyone in the YouTube community saying this is one of the worst matches They have ever seen in their lives and it is damn near just really tarnished both of these guys legacy Legacy because of the match was that trash You know saying even in the watching the undertaker's documentary. He's he knew that match was trash. You feel me This is why I give Goldberg a pass But I couldn't give him a pass on the Debré wise situation because I never watched this match and I will never watch this match You can never pay me enough to watch this match 19 There are sentimental reasons keeping it off the top spot, but this really should be number one It is one of the worst matches of all time. It's a match so bad Even WWE have included it in documentaries that they have made talking about how truly Overwhelmingly awful it is the type of bad where it transcends lack of heat lack of logic and crosses over into the very worst place where it's simply Dangerous genuinely really dangerous to book these two in this heat to have this match And no wrestling fan in their right mind wants to see that kind of danger Goldberg can cusses himself They're nearly breaks undertaker's neck It is not hyperbolic to say this was a few rotations away from being the phenom's last match and ending his career in the most Possible undertaker hates this match Goldberg hates it so much You need to eat Ziggler at SummerSlam just a form of redemption even WWE hates it, but me personally there is one more match Number one DX versus brothers didn't watch this match So glad I didn't see it Sean Michael should have never came out of retirement This match probably should have never happened. I'm just be honest This should have happened Destruction crown jewel 2018 awful brought Sean Michaels out of retirement for this now look I know I know that wrestlers retire and un-retire and it's not a big deal But HBK had one of the few perfect retirements in wrestling something actually Inspirational yes out of the main event of WrestleMania Reasonably physically fit with plenty of dream matches still technically possible, but no this division was honored Wrestling is just storytelling at the end of the day at least that's the part of it I care the most about and sure Michael's actually managed to have a story with a beginning middle and end until this By bad people where he broke retirement for a terrible match leave the memories alone No one came out of this looking good Not the de-older generation X who've looked like they've gone to their first leather bar to support their son's band and had to hide the fact They hated it there not Cain who got his bloody mask knocked off Once again frustrated in his quest have one more classic before he hung up his hat like I'm not made of stone Take a tagging in to square up to HBK is a legit Nostalgia yeah, but Christ that is five minutes into a match that is half an hour long Sean gets you still got it chance that slowly over the course of the match fade to grim silence And if that doesn't sum up the ugly dark side of nostalgia that bleeds all over these cash grab shows What does see you all at crown jewel everyone? And that's our list. What's your Yeah, that match didn't see that one either a lot of these I didn't see thank goodness Sean should have never ever ever came out of retirement. That's the one thing Made his retirement special didn't come back and the one time he comes back It was one of the worst matches. He's it has ever been in No So yeah, hey comment down below. Let me know what's your worst match You can remember if it's in this video or or in this particular video or you just know one off hand What is your what is your worst match from one of these Saudi Arabia shows if I have to pick for me Don't match it.  I was pissed, bro. I was like, bro.  I was so mad man. I I was done. I was done if I was doing videos back then Like I am now. I definitely would have made a rant video you guys would have got a rant video man So but did I even make a rant video? I don't think I did for that. I don't think I did But yeah, hey, that's the one of the worst matches I Visibly saw and watched and regretted. So what is one of the worst matches from the Saudi Arabia shows that you can Remember appreciate all of them support road to CCK appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all on the next one. Peace
