• 4:12
  know. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,
• 4:30
  Welcome to a very very special episode of PCW podcast Championship Wrestling. I am
• 4:39
  your host, Wayne also known as Semi Dry Chicken, and many reasons why
• 4:43
  this one is special. Not only is it WrestleMania season, but I have
• 4:46
  lost my voice and it is now. We're recording on Thursday, and I
• 4:50
  lost my voice officially on Sunday. I've been given it the Rick Flair WU
• 4:58
  test and I still can't. So every morning, that's the first thing I
• 5:01
  do is I give it the good old WOO tests and I just don't got
• 5:05
  it. So thankfully I have my co host tonight and they're gonna give me
• 5:11
  a hand going through this massive card. Tonight, we're only going to cover
• 5:16
  Night one. I know previously, maybe last year, we would do like
• 5:24
  back to back episodes, but here's the thing, it's a little different.
• 5:29
  We went this year, and going this year took a lot out of us
• 5:34
  so much that we needed a break from wrestling for a few days. We
• 5:38
  needed to recoup, we needed to rewatch and as all the stuff and the
• 5:46
  traveling that we've all gone through and the loss of sleep and the hangovers whatever.
• 5:53
  I think these guys deserve a one week break between episodes. We'll cover
• 6:00
  Night Night two next week. So and you know what, our episodes are
• 6:05
  long enough. I think you'll be okay. Uh. With that said,
• 6:12
  I am going to introduce my co host to give me a hand. Here,
• 6:15
  here we go. He's off the plane, he's home, and he's
• 6:49
  safe, Dre, welcome back. Whoa ah see fine, yours is just
• 6:57
  fine, oh Mand safe? Safe travels? Right? How was your traveling?
• 7:00
  Was it? Was it good? Was it? I mean you took
• 7:02
  a plane? Did you have to rent a car or how did how did
• 7:06
  the process go to get from where you were to WrestleMania throve to the airport
• 7:13
  and caught a flight. Mine's pretty straightforward. I mean it's only an hour
• 7:16
  long flight. Yeah, I mean we we know from where we were sitting
• 7:21
  there was from the accents, we could tell that a lot of people weren't
• 7:26
  even from this country. Uh. And then there were people that were way
• 7:30
  out of state. You know, I was looking at license plates from all
• 7:33
  over the country. So I mean there were people from out of the country.
• 7:38
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you know, one hover one hour
• 7:42
  of flight travel. I mean that's not that's not bad. Uh, you
• 7:46
  know one hour driving for me, so it's not bad. But a guy
• 7:50
  who could probably get there a good ten to fifteen minutes if he hustles.
• 7:55
  Let's bring him on in. H M h M. D will welcome back.
• 8:35
  Fella. Oh it's me, It's me, It's the d O.
• 8:39
  I l e. I get some breaking news here, yes, Instagram,
• 8:43
  as we're recording breaking news. Your WWE Women World Champion. I'm not sure
• 8:50
  what the hell titles she had, the Raw Champion, Rhea Ripley as a
• 8:54
  puppy. We puppies, all right, But I do want to give a
• 9:07
  special shout out to the Blue Mini for that great bumper he recorded for us.
• 9:11
  I feel like I spent about as much time with him this weekend as
• 9:13
  I did with you guys, And congratulations to him. He got married over
• 9:18
  as well. That's a great time to get married. You know, a
• 9:22
  lot of people get married or engaged over WrestleMania weekend. But I do recall
• 9:28
  the rock Stane. Also, a lot of babies are born nine months from
• 9:31
  WrestleMania, especially a lot of Generation superstars, because WrestleMania is baby making night.
• 9:41
  But dude, I'm so glad we were all able to get together.
• 9:46
  I mean, it's not just the three of us. We had a lot
• 9:48
  of listeners of the podcast, people who write in, people who did reviews.
• 9:54
  We had people who didn't sit with us that knew us. I had
• 10:00
  shout out to Dwayne Coleman, listener on the show. Finally, he was
• 10:03
  like, really happy to finally meet you guys in person. Uh. You
• 10:07
  know, my my buddy ron Di Benedetto. He was son of a bitch,
• 10:11
  got tickets last minute, and he was sitting eight rows behind Green Shirt
• 10:18
  Guy and you can see him wrestling at Night one on TV all night long.
• 10:24
  Lucky some bitch. I had a friend that went and I totally spaced
• 10:28
  on contacting him there and he was like, yeah, I mean, it's
• 10:33
  like it's crazy to It's crazy to find out how many people like that you
• 10:39
  knew, like on your social media, that were there, like other wrestling
• 10:43
  influencers. I guess you can call him. Uh I follow and I was
• 10:46
  like, oh, ship, like they were there too, and sometimes you
• 10:50
  know it's like you know, sometimes into one of the one of the podcasts
• 10:58
  you met. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, shout out
• 11:03
  to the jobber tiers passed them off by on the escalator, not enough to
• 11:09
  you know, quickly have a real conversation, but like they were coming up
• 11:13
  as we were going down and I have been recognize them and I was like
• 11:16
  the shouted them out real quick. So yeah, shout out to them for
• 11:18
  being there, and way to Berry lead. Sting remembered you. Let's not
• 11:24
  forget. Let's not forget that he remembered what he did. Do tell,
• 11:28
  do tell? Did you remember? Okay? So yeah, obviously among the
• 11:35
  three of us, not counting Doyle who actually lives there, I did get
• 11:39
  in earlier than others, so I got like their Wednesday night. But before
• 11:46
  I think one of the first events that Russell Khan had was that Thursday night
• 11:52
  at eleven o'clock they had a Q and A with Sting where that was hosted
• 11:56
  by Tony Shavanni, where he did an interview with Sting and and for about
• 12:01
  it. I think the whole thing ran for maybe about an hour, maybe
• 12:03
  a little over, but the majority of it was basically us in the audience
• 12:09
  getting to come up and ask thing questions, right, which was absolutely fucking
• 12:16
  dope. And the thing is answered everybody's questions is honestly, you know,
• 12:20
  didn't like try to hold anything back or try to play coy and anything about
• 12:24
  it. He gave his honest opinion, honest answers on things and stand up
• 12:28
  guy him an Tony Shavanni. But towards the end, I the whole time
• 12:33
  they were doing that, I'm sitting like, shit, I need to think
• 12:35
  of a question. I need to think of a question. Because the table
• 12:39
  I was sitting there, damn near everybody at the table I was sitting there
• 12:41
  got to ask thing a question except for me, And I was like,
• 12:45
  I gotta think of some kind of think. It's something like I finally came
• 12:48
  up with a question and I started putting my hand up and then yeah,
• 12:50
  right towards the end, I think I was the second to last question uh,
• 12:54
  second last person to get to ask thing a question. And the question
• 12:58
  that I asked him actually stumped him a bit. It was a question that
• 13:03
  he said he had never been asked before. Oh, I I probably know
• 13:07
  what it is. You're probably what's your favorite cheese on tacos? Right?
• 13:11
  And yeah yeah there, yeah, yeah, so number The question I asked
• 13:20
  him was after first things, First thanking him for his career and everything,
• 13:26
  and Tony as well, and getting to tell Sting that you know, you're
• 13:30
  the reason I became a wrestling fan, you know, which he was appreciative
• 13:35
  of hearing. So then I got to ask him the question of put yourself
• 13:39
  in the position that you're starting your own wrestling company, what pick five wrestlers,
• 13:48
  current five current wrestlers from any promotion, WWE, A w New Japan,
• 13:54
  whatever that you would want to have to start your promotion with as the
• 13:58
  faces of your company. And he was like, wow, like I've never
• 14:05
  been asked that question before, and he was stumped for a bit, and
• 14:09
  he had he had to really kind of contemplate it and think about it a
• 14:11
  bit, and he never gave. He didn't give five wrestlers. He did
• 14:16
  end up giving three. He mentioned the young Bucks he would absolutely want,
• 14:22
  and he missioned Cody Roase he would absolutely want. But he gave. He
• 14:26
  did give an answer in terms of what he looks for in a wrestler or
• 14:31
  what he would kind of wrestlers he would want in his company, and basically
• 14:35
  he wants guys that will think of the business first and not themselves, the
• 14:43
  guys who were willing to you know, who aren't always like having to have
• 14:48
  the spotlight being on them. They think about the product and the business,
• 14:54
  and you know what works best in that regard people who are really selfless,
• 15:00
  to which he then proceeded to say that, you know, the young Bucks
• 15:03
  are some of the selfless, most selfless people he's ever made. How Cody
• 15:07
  Rhodes is extremely selfless himself. Wish you know, he may be the man
• 15:13
  in the face of the company now in WWE, but let's not forget that
• 15:18
  Cody Rhodes in ae W despite being one of the faces of the company,
• 15:22
  was never their world champion. He didn't want that. I lost a match
• 15:28
  where the stipulation was he could never challenge for the title, right, he
• 15:31
  willingly gave that up because he wanted other people to have that shine. So
• 15:37
  you know, that's basically the answer that thing gave in terms of what he
• 15:39
  looks for in terms of wrestlers. So follow that up with the next day
• 15:46
  when we get the photo op, which thing courtesy of Carlos. Shout out
• 15:50
  to Carlos for that. But so we finally get there, well I get
• 15:56
  there at the last freaking minute. Doyle and Carlos and uh, his wife
• 16:03
  were already there in line and ship and I'm getting there parking, you know,
• 16:07
  power walking my ass off across JFK Plaza and ship trying to get there,
• 16:12
  but managed to get there maybe what five minutes before we took the photo,
• 16:18
  not even like definitely cut it close. But we get there. We
• 16:22
  take the picture. I told after telling you all about, you know,
• 16:26
  the experience from last night, and after we take the picture, Sting looks
• 16:30
  at me and he says, I'm still thinking about that question, Son of
• 16:34
  a bitch. That's cool, dud, that's cool that that he uh,
• 16:40
  he remembered you. I mean, you gotta think of like the hundreds of
• 16:44
  people he sees a day. Yeah, the fact that you remember that.
• 16:48
  Yeah, not gonna lie. That was definitely was cheap. My little eight
• 16:52
  year old me was cheesing ear to ear side if you got to ask him
• 16:57
  a question, because I have been haunted, I say, haunted by h
• 17:03
  the Bianca bell Air interview we were also fortunate enough to go to and at
• 17:08
  which my wife asked a question. I got to say hello, And ever
• 17:14
  since then, I've been like, fuck, every day I think of at
• 17:17
  least ten things like, oh, you should have taken the opportunity to ask
• 17:19
  this, You should have taken the opportunity to ask that. Ah, today
• 17:23
  I think I finally think of what I should have asked. Of course it's
• 17:26
  a week too late. Yeah, I would have asked her whose idea was
• 17:33
  to do the scary movie? Yeah, and she's done anymore that we just
• 17:41
  haven't figured out. That's not a bad one, that's pretty good. I
• 17:48
  thought of that last week around this time. It would have been a lot
• 17:52
  better. Oh, well, you got to say hi. I'm jealous of
• 17:56
  that. I got to say hi, and she said hi back, Like
• 18:00
  what size shirt do you wear? What sized PCW shirt do you wear?
• 18:07
  Just ask Yeah, it's totally almost Yeah, let's not forget about the fact
• 18:11
  that, Yeah, we did see Bianca Beella. That was the very first
• 18:14
  thing we did when I got there. Yeah, I mean I had a
• 18:17
  whole plan. I was gonna take it for a cheese steak, and but
• 18:19
  I went out out the window the minute. Well, I mean, dude,
• 18:22
  it was packed. Everywhere we wanted to go in Philly. I mean,
• 18:26
  even go to see the Rocky Statue was packed. But yeah, the
• 18:32
  whole city was I mean the whole, the whole, I mean, w
• 18:34
  W. Then when they say they take over the city, they take over,
• 18:41
  I kept, you know, I would, I would try to give
• 18:45
  Drea Carlo's direction somewhere, and I'll be like, you know what, I'm
• 18:48
  sure there's gonna be a steady stream of wrestling fans. Just follow them.
• 18:52
  That's exactly what I did with their shirts and merch and yeah, and it
• 18:57
  worked too, because that damn sure how I wound up finding parking Yeah that
• 19:02
  Thursday morning. Yeah, and I was like, okay, the parking garage
• 19:07
  for the hotel is full of itself. So I'm just riding around and I'm
• 19:11
  seeing, okay, some wrestling fans, people at wrestling gear coming from that
• 19:15
  area. They must have parked somewhere down that way. Let me keep going
• 19:18
  down this road. Yeah, so many people walking around with belts. I'm
• 19:23
  not sure how I feel about a grown man walking around with a belt,
• 19:26
  but so many belts too. I mean, they're lucky there was no twenty
• 19:30
  four to seven titles. I was just gonna get out and started with super
• 19:33
  kicking people and pinning them. But that might be the only belt I did
• 19:38
  not see. Yeah, right, that's very true. There's your ass belts
• 19:42
  too. I saw yeah twenty four Yeah, I mean I saw somebody with
• 19:48
  an old WCW title, not the big gold but the old school one from
• 19:53
  the early nineties. Plenty of big gold belts Ron Simmons had. Yeah.
• 20:00
  I was find it weird when a guy's walking around with like a one half
• 20:04
  of a tag team title. It's okay, who that's the other one.
• 20:10
  It's like, why a new japan Pro Wrestling belt too. It's like,
• 20:12
  oh, I don't have another tag title. It's like, then, wait,
• 20:15
  so you just got one. Somebody. Somebody at the Tribute to Extreme
• 20:19
  Show and the rower two ahead of us had a had a TNT championship.
• 20:29
  Okay, secondary title? Yeah yeah yeah. Did you guys also go to
• 20:34
  the WrestleMania Superstore at the PA Convention Center. Oh my god, was that
• 20:40
  a ship show? Dude? It was? It was packed. I mean
• 20:44
  it was everything what I thought it was going to be, and and then
• 20:48
  some like everything was just so goddamn expensive. Uh. I was looking at
• 20:52
  two shirts hell froze over. They wanted forty dollars a shirt. Forty Now,
• 21:00
  let me remind you people, you can go to pro wrestling teas and
• 21:04
  you can buy a PCW shirt for half that price. Also, if you
• 21:11
  go on Amazon or anywhere else, you can get them twenty dollars. I
• 21:18
  was just on today looking and I was even looking at like the Philly three
• 21:21
  sixteen shirts. They're down to thirty two dollars now, so they're no longer
• 21:25
  forty. Because I was even looking at forty at the arena. I totally
• 21:30
  get it, Like I was so tempted and like Doyle, Like even in
• 21:34
  the parking lot there was guys selling like Philly three sixteen. Good yeah,
• 21:41
  but it had no like skull in the bag just said Philly three sixteen.
• 21:45
  But they wanted ten dollars, And I was just like I should have grabbed
• 21:48
  one, only because like, just to make a T shirt, it should
• 21:52
  be more than ten bucks. So I was just like, damn, like
• 21:55
  I should have just gotten one some of a bitch like guys walking by my
• 22:00
  wasn't. There were a few things. I think the world had a couple
• 22:03
  of items that were exclusive to there, and I think the actual event had
• 22:07
  a couple of items that were exclusive to their Everything else you can get on
• 22:11
  the website for cheaper. Yeah, honestly, I'm wondering about that white Yeat
• 22:15
  hoodie that they had that I really fucking wanted, but they didn't have it
• 22:18
  my size because I went on w W Shop last night and that bitch is
• 22:22
  not up there at all. It might have been an exclusive if so,
• 22:26
  I'm mad if I want that bitch, that regular black hoodie with Yeat on
• 22:33
  it, but not that white one. Yeah, yeah, I wish I
• 22:37
  would have. I could have saved myself probably a big headache had I just
• 22:41
  bought the stuff that I wanted to get all that Uh was it that Wednesday?
• 22:47
  No? No? Yeah, no, Thursday, Thursday. If I
• 22:51
  would have bought all the stuff, then when I was down there before everybody
• 22:53
  in they mama showed up on Friday because I went there Thursday just on kind
• 23:00
  of sort of on a whim because I happened to be in the area,
• 23:02
  and that's about how it was free to get in. So I like fucking
• 23:04
  I walk up in there, and this is maybe like four or five o'clock
• 23:08
  in the afternoon. It's wide open, no line, no nothing, There's
• 23:14
  you know, not a whole lot of merch because obviously some people have been
• 23:15
  there throughout the day and purchased stuff, but things like the Little toy ww
• 23:22
  title and World Heavyweight title. Yeah, they were just sitting there, plenty
• 23:26
  of them, yeah, and same price as Thursday as Friday. But I
• 23:32
  could have just bought them right there, but I was like, nah,
• 23:33
  i'll get them tomorrow. I ain't worried about it, even though I that
• 23:37
  Thursday, I bought an official program which was twenty bucks, and I bought
• 23:41
  the I bought a WrestleMania shirt there, which was, like you said,
• 23:48
  forty bucks. So I don't know why the fuck I didn't buy the belts
• 23:52
  at the same time, because lord knows, I almost missed out on a
• 23:55
  bitch as fuck around while waiting just a day for those joints. Yep.
• 24:00
  Yeah, the only thing I bought was at the thing, and I bought
• 24:03
  one of those. I was there two shirts, which I believe you could
• 24:08
  only get at the arena. Yeah, stadium. I'm not buying fucking Joe
• 24:15
  sunglasses or a rock tank. Yeah. It's like, yeah, be very
• 24:22
  picky, bad way you spend your money on when you're there, because like
• 24:26
  when we got there, we were looking for parking, and like I found
• 24:30
  some parking outside the arena, like the parking lot and they were going up
• 24:34
  to like eighty bucks a car, and I was like, yeah no,
• 24:38
  I was like, no way, and luckily maybe my way back around.
• 24:41
  But for going three days in a row, I'll tell you right now,
• 24:47
  always park in the walls Fargo. It's the cheapest parking. It's thirty five
• 24:51
  bucks, but it's the cheapest you're gonna get, and it's really not that
• 24:56
  bad getting out of there. I got out of there. Both nights are
• 24:59
  really cool, actually all three, all three nights, I got out really
• 25:04
  quick. And you were lucky because Saturday getting out that bitch, it was
• 25:14
  yeah. We was creeping along, gotten on parking spot and was just like,
• 25:18
  well it's gonna be a while a little bit, a little bit somebody
• 25:23
  trying to force a win twos a wait for somebod else's bump, like nope,
• 25:27
  nope, yeah, but I mean like I could hop the curve to
• 25:33
  get around one motherfucker trying to be slipped. Now, we only have seven
• 25:38
  matches on on this card, right and besides the matches themselves, we have
• 25:45
  so much to tell you guys in general about our experience there, and we're
• 25:49
  gonna give it to you because I I can't think of another time where all
• 25:56
  of us, all of us are gonna get together and share an experience.
• 26:00
  It's like that again without it costing us an arm and a leg, because
• 26:04
  like next year it's in Las Vegas, and like somebody asked me at work
• 26:07
  today, like are you gonna go to Las Vegas? And like, no,
• 26:10
  I'm not, Like I don't. We don't know that for sure.
• 26:14
  Yeah, yeah, I mean, like, which is weird because like they
• 26:17
  announced forty almost two years at a time, and we still don't know where
• 26:22
  forty one is they always Yeah, I think the only thing I can think
• 26:26
  of is that they must be having some sort of bidding war. Yeah.
• 26:30
  Oh yeah, that's the only reason I can think of why it hasn't been
• 26:33
  announced, because it's probably down to maybe two cities, like you're thinking,
• 26:37
  we're thinking Minneapolis or Vegas, and they're still negotiating back and forth to see
• 26:41
  who was which one's gonna give them the better deal or the better the better
• 26:45
  package. Yeah. The only reason I can think of is why it's not
• 26:48
  announced already. And that speaks to just how usual highly unusual. Yeah,
• 26:53
  and that speaks to just how major w w uh well WrestleMania has become that.
• 26:59
  It's along were the thing that WWE has the cell to cities, and
• 27:03
  now cities are coming to them looking bitting against each other. Yeah right,
• 27:11
  cities want want to host wrestle media. They're competing for it, bidding for
• 27:15
  it, just because they know how much of an economic boom it is for
• 27:18
  the city. Oh yeah, Gino's toilet got used hard that weekend. Undo
• 27:25
  tickets sold for the all five events. Yeah yeah, and the shows.
• 27:30
  That's not including the world. It's not including all the other surrounding ship you
• 27:37
  know, like right, all the other shit that happened around everywhere, right,
• 27:40
  Oh yeah, just like set the mood for people. Like Night one,
• 27:45
  it was like low fifties, but it felt like it was in the
• 27:49
  high forties because of the wind. The wind was brutal. If you watch,
• 27:55
  if you watch the show, don't worry. They told you about it.
• 27:57
  Yeah, they told you about it plenty. From what I was told.
• 28:00
  They had heaters down by the rings, so a lot of people who
• 28:03
  were sitting below were pretty toasty. I brought me and Andrew brought blankets,
• 28:11
  and I had brought a really good hat and gloves, so like I was
• 28:15
  okay, I was fine. Uh. The I do recall there was the
• 28:19
  Jade Cargole, Bianchabelli ar Naomi match. I got up and I sat with
• 28:23
  you guys down a little bit farther, but I didn't take my blanket with
• 28:26
  me, And boy did I notice the damn difference just sitting there without the
• 28:30
  blanket. Uh. And there was people in front of them. Just every
• 28:34
  time Doors stood up, oh yeah, cut in from his side, I'm
• 28:37
  like, man, sit back down, buddy. Yeah yeah, yeah,
• 28:42
  yeah, because the girls were complaining when when me and Carlos would get up,
• 28:45
  the girls would complain that, you know, like, oh, they
• 28:48
  took all the body heat with him. Uh yeah, Like dude, there
• 28:53
  was people in front of me like, oh, man, blanket that was
• 28:56
  a good idea. I was like, hell, yeah, I was because
• 29:00
  every time I go there, just walking from through the parking lot and went
• 29:04
  to get to the show, I remember looking around and I'm just saying,
• 29:07
  my wife, fuck, there's a lot of these people are gonna be really
• 29:12
  they are not, dude. All the girls that were dressed like Rhea.
• 29:18
  There was a lot of girls. Yeah, there were a lot of girls
• 29:21
  dressed like Riha Ripley and they were they were gonna be freezing their tits off.
• 29:26
  You have no idea, Yeah, but uh yeah, night too.
• 29:32
  That's so bad. But yeah my jacket on. Yeah. It was like
• 29:37
  so weird the difference. And it also rained on the way two days ago.
• 29:42
  It was eighty degrees here. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's so
• 29:45
  weird, so go figure. Yeah, it was raining on the way there,
• 29:52
  and I was like, oh man, here we go, it's gonna
• 29:55
  be one of those rainy wrestl meanias. But thank god it wasn't. Uh
• 30:06
  the rain Oh yeah, dude. Well luckily for you, it's like,
• 30:08
  oh, well, I'm just gonna run home quick, get my ring jacket?
• 30:12
  Yeah. Uh trade do you want to like get do you want to
• 30:15
  get into this like I I mean I kind of set the mood of like,
• 30:19
  uh, the nightmare to get into the arena of the parking. And
• 30:23
  we talked about the expensive merch at the arena at the wrestle coan uh or
• 30:30
  the WrestleMania shop, whatever you want to call it, still paid for.
• 30:36
  Oh my god, dude, the amount of money I saw people spend is
• 30:38
  ridiculous. Every time I saw it. Cody sold a million dollars worth of
• 30:45
  merch. One million dollars worth of merch just Cody alone. That's great,
• 30:51
  That's fucking outstanding. I remember because when I think it was night too,
• 30:56
  when Carlos and his wife and I stepped away to go to that to the
• 31:02
  merch store. When they went to the merch store, then told me,
• 31:04
  hey, dude, the line short short, so like I'll be there just
• 31:08
  waiting in that line alone, I saw probably at least six, maybe like
• 31:15
  five or six WWE title belts get sold out of that one store, and
• 31:22
  those going for six hundred bucks a pop. Damn. It's like the Roman
• 31:26
  Remains Belt, the Unisputed Universal title. Yeah, yeah, eight bucks a
• 31:30
  pop. And I watched that biscuits sold like five or six times just at
• 31:33
  the time I was waiting in line. Damn, dude, Like you you
• 31:37
  spend so much money to get there, and then you're like, oh,
• 31:41
  I need to spend more money. I need to buy this title, and
• 31:45
  then you realize I gotta fly home. How man you get this title home?
• 31:51
  Yeah? And then they keep you there for five hours basically meeting.
• 31:53
  You have to buy some food, you have to buy a fifteen dollars chicken
• 31:57
  sandwich, wash it down with a six dollars bottle of water. Yeah,
• 32:02
  everything works because they it's those impulse buyers. Yeah, and that thing sitting
• 32:09
  right there on display looking all nice, and somebody's gonna sit there. Dude,
• 32:14
  that belt looks sick. I want it? How much is it?
• 32:16
  Six hundred? Oh, that's not that bad, whereas on any other they
• 32:21
  be like six hundred fuck no card, staring in the face and you're like,
• 32:25
  that's not that bad, dude, let me get that belt. You're
• 32:29
  seeing all the other people walking around with belts and you're like, oh,
• 32:32
  that belt looks sick. That belt looks sick. I want to walk around
• 32:35
  with a belt too. Near. That's six hundred dollars shining new toys,
• 32:37
  staring you're right in the face. Yeah, I mean it's tempting, But
• 32:45
  like, I don't think I get my belt at an event. I think
• 32:47
  i'd want to order it, get it a lot cheaper, because, like
• 32:52
  you were saying, due, they're going to like five six hundred bucks,
• 32:54
  and like, I know you can get them a health a lot cheaper online,
• 32:59
  hell, louch cheaper. I want to know if somebody bought that two
• 33:01
  thousand dollars World Heavyweight title belt that was at the on sale at the World.
• 33:06
  Oh yeah, I'm curious myself. It was because they were selling it
• 33:09
  online for fifteen you know. It's just like like they sold it fucked And
• 33:15
  that's probably what contributed to so many people walking around with belts, is that
• 33:17
  they were literally selling them at the World just had his own dedicated standard just
• 33:22
  belts, a whole bunch of ones that you could choose from. Yeah,
• 33:27
  because like when they would come to our local arena, the smaller the Santana
• 33:30
  arena, like they would have belts, but like maybe it's like two belts
• 33:36
  and they only have like maybe one or two in stock. But like here
• 33:39
  it's like almost every belt you can think of I and all these custom belts,
• 33:45
  and you know, like that's one thing ww And we talked about it
• 33:46
  before on previous episodes, like when it comes to belts, they stepped up
• 33:51
  their game with like relaunching, redesigning new titles the past decade, and then
• 33:55
  the football the NFL belts, and now I just saw base Fall has them
• 34:00
  now too. I think God, like everybody gets about now, like but
• 34:06
  whatever, I mean, that's merch money for them. So yep. I
• 34:10
  mean, I mean you see non wrestling fans with with speak they've gotten now
• 34:17
  dude. Yeah, Like like when I got back to work today or yesterday,
• 34:22
  a lot of people who aren't wrestling fans, a lot of them are
• 34:27
  coming up to me and asked me about my experience and like to have a
• 34:30
  good time, like was it worth it? And you know, like,
• 34:32
  uh, for a lot of people, Uh, this was like one of
• 34:37
  they know that this was one of the things on my bucket list, Like
• 34:40
  it wasn't just going to uh WrestleMania, it was going The idea for me
• 34:45
  was to experience both nights and the raw after Mania. Even though the rall
• 34:52
  after media is not up to part we'll say what they used to be,
• 34:59
  but I still wanted to take part because of it's different than the SmackDown before
• 35:05
  Mania. The energy that you have because you're still coming off of Mania.
• 35:09
  There's still people who are who didn't go home yet they're still here for another
• 35:15
  day. So they still got that because I was meeting a bunch of people
• 35:17
  in there and you could tell who was at Mania because uh, you know,
• 35:22
  they would be missing their voice some of them. It's like yeah,
• 35:24
  also at Mania for two days and now a raw I'm like, yeah,
• 35:28
  dude, me too, Like this is awesome? What's that? Do you
• 35:36
  know? It wasn't just it wasn't just WrestleMania though, it was like WrestleMania
• 35:46
  forty, you know, no disrespect to WrestleMania thirty seven. Yeahs that are
• 35:52
  always uh bigger. And not only that, but you know, and we
• 35:59
  got it soft down our throat the whole weekend, this new era, new
• 36:01
  era, new era, new era. You know, it's the first WrestleMania
• 36:06
  since the merger. It's the first one post Vince McMahon, you know,
• 36:09
  and they're clearly not rebranding that's not the right word, but maybe refocusing,
• 36:19
  shall we yeahff like that and let's just talk about you know. So it's
• 36:24
  kind of it was kind of a perfect storm of it being right in my
• 36:30
  backyard, it being a ten WrestleMania, and it being a time when just
• 36:37
  a seismic seismic shift, and I think maybe ten to fifteen years down the
• 36:42
  road, we'll look back and think of, you know, remember when X,
• 36:45
  Y and Z happened, Yeah, but that was before WrestleMania forty.
• 36:50
  We'll kind of look at things that'll be like a line in the sand.
• 36:52
  Oh dude, I like that. Yeah, like a big timestamp. Yeah,
• 36:57
  definitely, so before we get into everything. Yeah yeah, just from
• 37:00
  an overall standpoint, just looking at wrestlemedia as a whole it, even the
• 37:05
  raw afterwards. Let me ask the question, does it feel like we've answered
• 37:08
  a new era in WWE? Oh? I think so. I think so.
• 37:14
  Like the whole feel and the way it was it was done, the
• 37:19
  way it was presented, everything, it just felt like something a little different
• 37:23
  but yet the same. But I like to say no, but only because
• 37:30
  I think we're we've already entered that era. You think so. I don't
• 37:32
  think you can force it and say this is what it is. This.
• 37:36
  I think this era started when the camera panned out from Roman reigns and Paul
• 37:40
  Haymon was sitting there next to them. I think that's that was from for
• 37:45
  my money anyway, right, that was three four years ago. That's when
• 37:50
  the tide started to turn a little bit for me anyway. Yeah, I
• 37:53
  mean for me, it's like once once I was able to like sleep at
• 38:00
  night knowing that Vince had no fingers in this WrestleMania. The first WrestleMania with
• 38:06
  Vince mcmn, you know, and it ended up being like the biggest WrestleMania
• 38:09
  of all time. And it's funny to think that, like, you know,
• 38:13
  thirty nine previous other WrestleManias Vince did and triple Ah, She's like did
• 38:17
  it on my first try? Like, you know, I was really happy
• 38:23
  for the company to succeed with Vince not there because that was always like one
• 38:30
  of my concerns is like, oh, with Vince, now we all know
• 38:35
  he's a piece of shit, no pun intended, but like I was worried
• 38:38
  like when he would leave the company. This is like I was always worried
• 38:43
  about this, you know, since like I don't know the ruthless aggression era,
• 38:46
  Like oh well when Vince leaves, Like will this company go to the
• 38:51
  toilet to the point where like it's just it's nothing that closes down or something
• 38:55
  like will this survive without Vince? And I can to sure this after this
• 39:00
  WrestleMania, I really feel like we're in good hands where well it's thrived exactly.
• 39:08
  It's not survived, it's thrived. And that's such a great thing because
• 39:12
  I'm as a wrestling fan, I'm proud of of it thriving. I'm proud
• 39:16
  of people who aren't wrestling fans hearing about it more hearing about Oh I heard
• 39:22
  they merged with t k O. Oh I heard they have a deal with
• 39:27
  Netflix. Like a lot of non wrestling fans are talking about w WE,
• 39:32
  you know, they're not talking about AW a lot of different people, right,
• 39:37
  So, yeah, like if you're a if you're a finance person,
• 39:40
  you know, if that's something that you're into, you follow the stock market,
• 39:44
  blah blah blah. Yeah, there's a huge business story there, the
• 39:46
  the merger of of w w E and UFC to form this new company that's
• 39:52
  under this other company. Uh, you know, so something for that.
• 39:57
  There's something for the you know, action movie fan, and that the kind
• 40:00
  of maybe only knows Dwayne Johnson doesn't really know the Rock and is now seeing
• 40:05
  the Rock for the first time. There's something for the old school you know,
• 40:09
  which I think we kind of fall into, the old school pro wrestling
• 40:13
  fan, you know. And now I mean with the especially with the prominence
• 40:17
  of women's wrestling, now there's even something for the girlfriends and the wives and
• 40:22
  the daughters and whatever. So there's really you know, and the same with
• 40:27
  Logan Paul. I've been such a proponent of Logan Paul this whole time,
• 40:30
  and we'll get to him, I guess next next episode. But how many
• 40:34
  more eyeballs or he's bringing Yeah, people that would never have thought about watching
• 40:39
  it before or suddenly watch it. Oh yeah, yeah, I would have
• 40:45
  to say that I think it may be too early to tell in the long
• 40:51
  term if the answer is yes, But I'm still leaning towards yes, we
• 40:54
  are answering a new era. You never know you're in the era until it's
• 40:59
  over, though, sure in real time. Yeah, it's just like you
• 41:01
  don't know about the good old days until they're finally gone. You know,
• 41:04
  you don't know when you're yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah,
• 41:07
  you don't know what the you know, hard line in the sand of
• 41:10
  it is, like, you know, ww like most people consider the start
• 41:15
  of the Attitude era kind of starts with that Austin three to sixteen promo,
• 41:20
  but they weren't promoting attitude at that time, like they were still using the
• 41:24
  old you know, the old Golden era WWF logo. They didn't have the
• 41:30
  scratch logo yet at that time. But in retrospect, people kind of say,
• 41:35
  you know, the Attitude era started with Austin three sixteen, so you
• 41:38
  know, history will ultimately decide when this era actually did start. But from
• 41:44
  a feeling standpoint and how it feels right now, this feels like a new
• 41:49
  era to a certain stent, like not just like I said, long term
• 41:53
  to be TBD, but it still feels that way. Like we saw damn
• 42:00
  near every title change at this WrestleMania. You know, the w W Women's
• 42:07
  title change, the tag team titles changed, United States title changed, you
• 42:15
  know they stayed, yes, the local pol but uh Intercontinental title changed from
• 42:19
  the longest reigning champion you know of all time from Gunter. World heavyweight title
• 42:25
  change and then changed again, and then the big one, the WWE title
• 42:32
  changed from a three year reign to this new guy. So we it is
• 42:38
  a wrestle We exited WrestleMania with a whole slew of new champions, So just
• 42:44
  in that sense alone, it feels new, you know, to the longest
• 42:50
  reigns now over, especially the Roman one. So in that sense, just
• 42:54
  short term, it feels like a new era because we got a whole new
• 42:59
  you know, set up possibilities that can happen now with all these new champions
• 43:04
  and long term I get what you're saying, how it kind of felt like
• 43:08
  what you said, do what you said, Like the moment Roman linked up
• 43:12
  with Paul Hayman, that's kind of where, Yeah, I think we're already
• 43:15
  in the era, whatever it ends up being, don't. I don't know
• 43:20
  that it changed on Saturday and Sunday. I think we changed, right,
• 43:24
  and eeers will look back and say, like, yeah, it didn't really
• 43:28
  start, it's ended up. I think we're already in the era. It's
• 43:31
  in history may determine that to be the case. But another way of possibly
• 43:37
  looking at this being a new era is in the and again, time will
• 43:40
  tell on this one. But in terms of face of the company, and
• 43:45
  that's another way where we that's another metric that wrestler fans kind of used to
• 43:49
  define eras Golden Era, Hulk Hogan, New Generation era, brat Hard,
• 43:54
  you know, Seawn Michaels kind of fifty fifty Attitude era, Stone, Steve
• 44:00
  Auston, Ruth's Aggression, John Cena, and then next face of the company,
• 44:06
  Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes, depending on how how long Cody's run his
• 44:16
  face of the company is. And I'm not denying that Roman was a company,
• 44:21
  was a face of the company, because he absolutely was, but it
• 44:24
  may still be to be determined long term. Is he if Roman is a
• 44:31
  face of the company in the sense of Hogan, Austin, Sena, or
• 44:36
  would he or will he ultimately be that face of the company in that transitional
• 44:40
  sense like Brett Hard and Seawan were between golden and attitudes, Because if Cody
• 44:46
  ends up having a real long run and one of those may and he's like
• 44:51
  that major, major face of the company on the same level of again,
• 44:54
  Hogan, Austin and Sena, we may look back at Roman and see that,
• 45:00
  Oh, he was the face of the company, but it was it
• 45:05
  was transitional. I have a question I want to ask, but I don't
• 45:07
  want to ask it now. I want to ask it at the end.
• 45:09
  But that question is how long do you think Cody Rhodes Rain will go for?
• 45:16
  Oh? I want to ask that. Yeah, yeah, we'll talk
• 45:19
  about that. Yeah, must say I think that. Yes, It depends
• 45:21
  on how you word that question. Yeah. Yeah, Like Rain, are
• 45:25
  we talking about this current title reign? Are we talking about I mean,
• 45:30
  I mean, yes, until he loses the championship, okay, But like
• 45:35
  I said, we can talk about that next week. I just want I
• 45:37
  just want to float that out there, like, yeah, I think this
• 45:39
  is something we should consider. Yeah, because IM thinking just all the top
• 45:44
  of my head initially, I think that's I kind of have two answers on
• 45:47
  that. I don't think it should be four years, you know, No,
• 45:52
  God damn no, because that yeah, no, thank you. Hey,
• 46:00
  let's break it in these seven matches here, all right, So this
• 46:06
  time we're just gonna be talking about Night one, which had an attendance of
• 46:12
  seventy two thousand, five hundred and forty three people. Just think of that
• 46:20
  compared to the WrestleManias of the past. I know, fifteen thousand people at
• 46:27
  this Wrestle Media. You know, WrestleMania twenty five in Philly, I think
• 46:30
  it was sixteen something like that. Yeah, they've gone from selling out arenas
• 46:37
  to selling out stadiums. Yeah, with regularity too. I mean they do
• 46:43
  a couple of these shows a year. In fact, most of them I
• 46:45
  think are in stadiums, most of the big ones. Yeah, they shoot
• 46:50
  for stadiums. Now, like WrestleMania is pretty much guaranteed to be a stadium
• 46:52
  show. Moving forward, Summerslams getting to that point now, Yeah, I
• 46:58
  know, breaking news, Uh sorry, breaking news. Uh they're having the
• 47:04
  Disney senecon right now and they're just announced Miljana too, and the Rock just
• 47:09
  came out on stage. Final Boss, but go on, it looks like
• 47:16
  he was chaired, but it's Malajuana. So what do you expect. I
• 47:22
  expect them fuckers to acknowledge their final Boss like they spoke, rides up your
• 47:28
  little shits, acknowledge the fucking final Boss. Yeah. So anyway, back
• 47:36
  to night one. It kicked off with our CEO, our c CEO,
• 47:42
  Triple H coming out welcoming to everybody to Wrestle media, which was nice,
• 47:47
  nice hearing the game live an in person. And then our first match was
• 47:55
  for the UH Women's World Championship, Real Ripley defending against Becky Lynch. Going
• 48:09
  back and rewatching this match, I felt like this match was much better than
• 48:15
  how it appeared just watching it live, if that makes sense, Like,
• 48:22
  yeah, there were things that I saw and things I was able to take
• 48:24
  in watching the replay that maybe appreciate this match much more than I did when
• 48:30
  we initially watched it, Like they really went at it and there was much
• 48:36
  more psychology in this match than I thought. And you know how Real was
• 48:44
  targeting Becky, and how Becky was throwing damnit everything she could at her to
• 48:50
  try to take out Real Ripley, and how Real was using her power game
• 48:55
  to get the best of Becky Lynch and was showing frustration because Beculynch just did
• 49:01
  not give up. And also the fact that we did not know watching live
• 49:07
  that apparently Becky Lynch was sick all week and batting strep throat and had a
• 49:13
  one hundred two degree temperature, so that was part of the that played into
• 49:16
  the storyline as well of the match. But yeah, like I said,
• 49:22
  this was actually a really good match watching it play out over, well what
• 49:28
  rewatching it on television? What were your thoughts on the match? Yeah?
• 49:34
  I completely agree. It was much better second time around on television than it
• 49:40
  was there, although it was pretty good there. I kind of wish Becky's
• 49:45
  entrance hadn't just been a commercial for her book. I wish there had been
• 49:49
  something bigger than that for her. I don't know Ria though. Ria's entrance
• 49:53
  having the band player in UH had a pretty good idea that that was going
• 49:59
  to happen, But I had no idea that, uh, the singer for
• 50:04
  said band is basically who really is dude? Like spot On? At first
• 50:10
  I thought it was her singing, Yeah, I realized it was. Yeah,
• 50:16
  It's probably why she got hair extensions in because so you won't get confused
• 50:22
  like they did Wonder Twins and long hair reheah. Very nice And it's crazy
• 50:31
  that she's only twenty seven. This is her fifth WrestleMania already. That's uh,
• 50:37
  that's pretty crazy. Yeah, yeah, Drey mentioned, I had no
• 50:40
  idea about the Becky being sick part. Uh And in fact, the only
• 50:45
  reason I found out is because the minute the match was over, I went
• 50:49
  to the bathroom and they had the commentary playing and I heard Corey Graham saying
• 50:52
  that, and I was like, what, like because she was doing book
• 50:55
  signings and and uh, you know, interviews and but but but you know,
• 51:00
  was she like typhoid Marrit She's spreading strep throat all over Philly this whole
• 51:05
  week? Or was the sickness story just the story? I don't know if
• 51:08
  I'll ever find out. Well, hell, if you got strip from Becky
• 51:12
  Lynch, that's a hell of a story to tell. People. Yeah right,
• 51:16
  Yeah, but the match itself, well, this was definitely one of
• 51:20
  the better matches of the whole card. I thought, I'm not sure what
• 51:23
  I opened with it, not that it was a terrible decision, but you
• 51:28
  know, you only had three heels winning all weekend, right, uh So
• 51:32
  it just kind of seemed odd to start with a heel winning, even though
• 51:37
  she's not really a heel. I don't know. We can digress about,
• 51:44
  we can discuss what we think the prospects are, but I don't know how
• 51:50
  it came. Yeah, because it didn't. It didn't appear to come across
• 51:53
  that much on t on the replay on the the feed we're watching walk in
• 52:00
  the replay. But I can definitely tell y'all in stadium heavily cheered, heavily
• 52:07
  pro Rea crowd. Yeah, I mean it wasn't anti Becky, but no,
• 52:12
  it was definitely the cheers were louder for real, for sure. Yeah,
• 52:15
  Like Ria was probably like seventy five twenty five cheers, whereas Becky was
• 52:20
  more like sixty forty. Yeah. Yeah, it's like there was no hate.
• 52:23
  It's just that Sorry, there's just a certain wrestler we just like,
• 52:28
  right now, a little more than yeah what real? Yeah, yeah,
• 52:30
  it's like no hate Becky, but right now we want Mommy to win.
• 52:36
  Yeah, exactly in this match. Great psychology, I thought, with you
• 52:40
  know, Becky, who's the best selling author, if you didn't know,
• 52:44
  he was in her brains, you know, kind of against Rhea's braun over
• 52:51
  acting a little bit from Ria on some of those those two counts was kind
• 52:55
  of a bit much. She was kind of like HBK and that was a
• 53:04
  Hogan match, and I think it was a Summer Slam just over over everything,
• 53:07
  Oh god, stream and like a lunatic, and it was. It
• 53:10
  was a little much so much. When Rha had what was that move the
• 53:19
  submission she was doing the prison trap. I think they called it on the
• 53:22
  broadcast. It's like it's like a cloverly when she pulled her back a second
• 53:27
  time and watching it in person anyway, I was like, holy shit,
• 53:30
  they're gonna have backy tap at WrestleMania like and then of course that isn't what
• 53:35
  happened. The finishing sequence was great. Uh. I maybe would have liked
• 53:43
  to see, oh the rip tide on the turn boxle to the turn buckle,
• 53:46
  then another riside. Yeah, yeah, I don't know that we've seen
• 53:50
  that, and you know, they got plenty of time to cook without overstaying
• 53:53
  the welcome. I think it was seventeen ish minutes right in that area,
• 53:59
  which was like the perfect time. Five minutes it would have been way too
• 54:04
  much. Yeah, but like we said, Ria over as fuck. I
• 54:12
  kind of wonder what's up with Becky though, you know, supposedly she and
• 54:15
  Seth both have contracts coming up, you know, but I'd be shocked if
• 54:21
  they don't re sign. But I just kind of felt like a pass into
• 54:23
  the torch a little bit from Becky ter Rea. I'm not sure Becky,
• 54:29
  this might be her last contract, I think, and she might slide into
• 54:31
  like a attrition lead, a part timer kind of role where she just comes
• 54:36
  back once or once a year, once every other year. So it kind
• 54:42
  of felt like this was a big time acknowledgment of riha A's like the face
• 54:47
  of the women's division anyway, and definitely the right decision to have her go
• 54:52
  over. I think we all uh all called that. And Becky has a
• 54:58
  book, if you didn't know which, I have an autographed copy. Does
• 55:05
  she now? Ali? Wayne, what were your thoughts on the match?
• 55:10
  I kind of agree with you guys. The match was for me. I
• 55:15
  enjoyed it better once I got to watch do the rewatch. Maybe it's because,
• 55:20
  uh, you know, that's just the difference commentary can make on on
• 55:24
  watching matches, because uh, you know, if the crowd's not alive or
• 55:29
  something, you know, at least commentary can help keep something interesting. But
• 55:34
  uh, I know I enjoyed this. I enjoyed it as an opening match.
• 55:37
  Uh. I think it was awesome that she had a live band player
• 55:42
  in. Uh. It was a great way to start off wrestling name with
• 55:45
  a live band because everybody's you know, there's a handful of interests we'll talk
• 55:50
  about that were pretty elaborate, So it was nice having a band play.
• 55:53
  But yeah, Doyle, like I thought the lead singer of the band spit
• 55:58
  on image of Rhea, Like, well, you know what, because I
• 56:00
  thought that, and I looked at I looked it up and to see other
• 56:04
  pictures of this guy and like he changes his look an awful lot and every
• 56:08
  single one of them is adopted damn short each tear. Yeah, yeah,
• 56:14
  it was eerie. Wow a rabbit hole. OK, googled pictures of that
• 56:22
  guy and it'll be like real looked like that, Real looked like that,
• 56:25
  real looked like that. Yeah, and I wonder, I mean they went
• 56:30
  off for seventeen minutes. But I wonder if Becky's health had anything to do
• 56:35
  with the spot on the card. I doubt it, but uh, I
• 56:38
  mean, wrestling with a fever, Holy shit, that's gonna suck. It's
• 56:43
  gonna sucks so bad. Like luckily it was chilly. Maybe that healthed,
• 56:46
  you know at least, but uh, I know when I have a fever,
• 56:51
  like, I don't want to do shit like let alone wrestle somebody else
• 56:53
  in front of seventy something thousand people, and like you said, dre shus
• 56:58
  on signings and pictures and you know, hats off to her, like you
• 57:02
  know, like if she's that sick, she shouldn't have been doing that.
• 57:06
  Oh, I know, unless it was like you know, if she wasn't
• 57:08
  contagious. You know, I get it, But like I wonder if that
• 57:13
  was even real or if they just made that part of the start to make
• 57:15
  her Yeah, but that would like to what make make her look like she's
• 57:20
  a chink in her armor? Like I don't know, Like, but I
• 57:23
  I was impressed, Like I didn't. Honestly, I didn't believe that Rio
• 57:28
  was gonna win. I I I thought like that was where this is where
• 57:31
  she's gonna stop. And no, it's it seems like she still has a
• 57:35
  lot to go. There's still a lot of guests in the tank for this
• 57:37
  championship run. Ah. We kind of got an idea after WrestleMania where she's
• 57:44
  heading. Uh, but Becky, I think in the position that Becky has
• 57:49
  set her both in after WrestleMania, I know, it's a motorcycle going by.
• 57:52
  Goddamn. I definitely see them both taking time off, like just time
• 57:59
  off, Let's go home, spend time with the kids, let's heal,
• 58:01
  let's heal our bodies. I know, work on another damn book. Whatever.
• 58:06
  But I've seen them taking maybe the summer off. I think it might
• 58:10
  be a good idea to flip the chance of Women's champions put Bailey on raw
• 58:15
  and Rea back the SmackDown. Yeah, I mean we just Saily away from
• 58:19
  damage control and give Rea a whole new set of opponents. Yeah, And
• 58:22
  I know we kinda glanced over, but like they announced the draft and we
• 58:30
  just had the draft like a couple months ago, because we even did an
• 58:32
  episode on it, so now you know they're doing the draft again. A
• 58:37
  couple of months ago. I was twelve months. It seems so recent.
• 58:43
  It just seems so recent. I think the draft may have been a little
• 58:45
  bit later, Yeah, a little bit later last year than it was this
• 58:50
  year, because last year we had a whole pay per view yeah okay,
• 58:53
  yeah, after Backlash last year, because remember read defended the SmackDown Women's against
• 59:00
  Alina Vega Y in Puerto Rico at Backlash before before she even went to Raw.
• 59:06
  So it's it's a little bit earlier this year than last year, and
• 59:09
  I think that that's probably them learning the lesson from last year with the whole
• 59:15
  you know spec that with Riez the Spackdown Women's champion going to Raw and then
• 59:21
  Bianca being the Raw Women's Champion going to speck Down and that whole kerfuffle that
• 59:25
  we dealt with for a while before they revealed the new titles. So I
• 59:30
  think they learned like, Okay, this is done, we're new let's just
• 59:35
  go ahead and just immediately rather than dragged this out, especially given how clean
• 59:40
  in a sense that WrestleMania ended, like there are very few, if any
• 59:45
  stories carrying on past wrestlemedia got wrapped up. One's still carrying over is probably
• 59:53
  Cody and the Rock Everything and Drew and seem punk Drew. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:00:02
  yeah, Drew and punk things probably. But outside of that, yeah,
• 1:00:06
  this is about as clean of a break that you'll get from a rough
• 1:00:09
  one WrestleMania ending. So it's kind of prime for them to switch it up
• 1:00:15
  and then shift up, shake up the roster, and then start fresh with
• 1:00:20
  all new storylines, all new opponents. And it's that a third touching on
• 1:00:24
  the uh excuse me, sething beack you thing. You said you think they'll
• 1:00:30
  be going to the summer. I think they'll take some time off. I
• 1:00:34
  wouldn't be surprised. I would not be surprised if it's even longer. I
• 1:00:38
  think if I had to put money on it, I think because both their
• 1:00:43
  contracts are set to expire in June. Yeah, okay, I'll be surprised
• 1:00:49
  if they let those contracts expire and they take the rest of the year off.
• 1:00:54
  Yeah, and they just take the rest of the whole year off to
• 1:00:58
  stay home, be parents. Is their daughter, Yeah, he'll love injuries
• 1:01:01
  and just take a break from everything and then come back next year around you
• 1:01:08
  know, rumble time. Yeah, I would like that. I would not
• 1:01:12
  be surprised at all if we I'm pretty sure we may see them maybe one
• 1:01:15
  or two more times on raw between now and their contracts expiring, And like,
• 1:01:21
  I don't I'd be surprised if they didn't. If we don't see them
• 1:01:23
  anymore between now and June, but I would not be. But then again,
• 1:01:28
  if we don't and we don't see him at all the rest of the
• 1:01:30
  year, I'm also not surprised. Yeah. Yeah, Like I said,
• 1:01:36
  I don't know how much. I don't know how much longer Becky's gonna do
• 1:01:39
  this full time, especially because they got the kid down right seth, I
• 1:01:45
  could see doing it a little longer, but I could I this felt like
• 1:01:50
  this felt like passing to the torch. I already said that. Oh yeah,
• 1:01:54
  I mean she beats Charlotte one year and then Becky the next, back
• 1:01:58
  to back. I mean, that's a hell of a tors me past.
• 1:02:00
  That's half the four horse, you know. Yeah, yeah, he slided
• 1:02:09
  into the part time role. Yeah, and kind of doing what Trican Leada
• 1:02:15
  has been doing in the past decade. Really, she's at that point where
• 1:02:20
  she has where she's pretty much spent most of her time putting over and building
• 1:02:23
  up the next generation stars. She did it for Bioka two years ago,
• 1:02:29
  she's doing it for Rea now. I could see her. Yeah, I
• 1:02:32
  totally agreement with you. Her faith just gradually, I could see her having
• 1:02:38
  another title run. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm not saying that she'll never see
• 1:02:43
  Gold again or anything like that, but I think I think she's going to
• 1:02:45
  start winding it down in the next three Yeah. I think, like I
• 1:02:52
  think they let these contracts expire, take some time off, and then when
• 1:02:55
  they do decide that they're ready to come back, they renegotiate, negotiate new
• 1:03:00
  contracts with WWE, and hers will probably be a significantly reduced contract, a
• 1:03:06
  much more of a not a Legends contract obviously, but like a part time,
• 1:03:10
  simpler way folks pep talent like there is that kind of has a little
• 1:03:16
  bit of mainstream cred. You know. Sometimes they will go, you know,
• 1:03:22
  take a six month chunk where they're not under contract and go do some
• 1:03:24
  of the things they're not able to do for whatever reason because the WWE says
• 1:03:30
  no, and maybe go do that, you know, ral into that Marvel
• 1:03:34
  movie. I guess he's been cut out of. But and of course I
• 1:03:37
  guess they approved, must have approved that or whatever. But you know,
• 1:03:40
  whatever, whatever it is, go be on family feud or whatever the fuck.
• 1:03:45
  You know. UH. And they probably have those opportunities, and there's
• 1:03:49
  some that they can't do or they just don't have time because of the wrestling.
• 1:03:52
  Then maybe they want to go do uh and then you know, six
• 1:03:55
  months they'll sign a new deal, you know exactly, yep, sign deal
• 1:04:01
  part time. You know, the only other option there is for them.
• 1:04:08
  And I don't see that happening for either one of them. I don't think.
• 1:04:12
  I don't see either one of them having any even any interest in it.
• 1:04:15
  Maybe Seth, damn sure, I don't. I don't see it for
• 1:04:19
  Becky, and even Seth, I don't see it at this point for him
• 1:04:24
  now, especially not as much as he's talked about WWE and it being like
• 1:04:29
  his home and his family and all this that the third which I don't think
• 1:04:32
  that was all k fabe. I think he really believes that. I think
• 1:04:35
  he really sees w W as home. I don't. I don't think they
• 1:04:41
  can be whether they're wrestling or not, they can be employed by the w
• 1:04:44
  W for the rest of their lives more or less, you know, if
• 1:04:47
  they play their cards right, Yeah, definitely, But yeah, if I
• 1:04:55
  if I had to put money on it, don't be surprised if we do
• 1:04:59
  not see Becky or Seth rollins much, if at all, for the rest
• 1:05:03
  of this year. And I think the w W will be just fine without
• 1:05:08
  them. Not a knock on them, but I think it makes the heart
• 1:05:15
  girl fonder, and I think it gives other people an opportunity to step up,
• 1:05:21
  just as we've seen. We've seen it plenty of times where somebody who's
• 1:05:25
  on top takes a break, be it due to injury or something else,
• 1:05:30
  and somebody else's steps into that role and fills that gap left by them.
• 1:05:36
  Perfect example, WWE in the year two thousand, No stone cold who stepped
• 1:05:42
  up to become the man, the motherfucking rock, so that somebody could easily
• 1:05:47
  slide in right now and fulfill that workhorse role of that Seth had as champ.
• 1:05:54
  Somebody else can step up to be a new face of the women's division,
• 1:06:00
  and whether whether Rid solidifies herself in that role or somebody else you know,
• 1:06:05
  steps up alongside her to take that place. You know, TBD,
• 1:06:10
  but now I think is the it's a perfect opportunity for somebody to step up.
• 1:06:19
  Any other final thoughts on this match that we've talked about that and then
• 1:06:26
  some I'm good to move on to start, Okay, all right, So
• 1:06:31
  moving on from that one. Match Number two was our six pack Tag Team
• 1:06:36
  Ladder match for the undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships, in which both champions excuse
• 1:06:44
  me, both championship belts were suspended above the ring, and whatever team retrieved
• 1:06:53
  a belt became that particular champion. In other words, you get the SmackDown
• 1:06:58
  belts, you're the SmackDown Champions. Get the Raw belts, you're the Raw
• 1:07:01
  Champions. Competing in this we had a town Down Under a team of Austin
• 1:07:05
  Theory and Grayson Waller versus Awesome Truth Miss and Our Truth taking on Judgment Day,
• 1:07:12
  the defending champions Finnbala and Damian Priest, as well as d I Y,
• 1:07:16
  Johnny, Johnny Gargano and Tamaso Champa, New Day Gophy Kingston, Xavier
• 1:07:24
  Woods and New Catch Republic, and half of their entrance theme team of Pete
• 1:07:30
  Dunn and Tyler Bate, which first things first, obviously, as I alluded
• 1:07:38
  to. Watching it live, we very much noticed that Newcatch Republic kind of
• 1:07:42
  got shafted on their entrance because the theme didn't kick in immediately and they came
• 1:07:47
  out what they came out after awesome, Right, graphics were still up there
• 1:07:54
  when they were like halfway down the freaking ramp. Yeah, I mean we
• 1:07:58
  didn't even mention that they had so many audio Yeah, they had so many
• 1:08:03
  audio video and and just visual mistakes, like issues, so many problems.
• 1:08:14
  They went early with the d the d I y, I almost said,
• 1:08:18
  d u I that's very different. Their graphics popped up before they were supposed
• 1:08:25
  to. The fucking screen above the ring stopped working, right, Oh dude,
• 1:08:31
  yes, yeah now see Now Now that makes me wonder because obviously what
• 1:08:39
  we watched, we watched a replay, So I would be curious to anyone
• 1:08:43
  who watched it live. Could they hear the crowd chanting the way we were?
• 1:08:48
  Oh yeah, we were turned then turn the screen on to fix the
• 1:08:53
  screen. I wonder if any of that stuff was picked up live. Clearly
• 1:08:57
  it wasn't picked up. It didn't come through one the re plate. But
• 1:09:00
  they could have just edited that out. Yeah, you could. You could
• 1:09:02
  hear me, and Andrew picked it up. There's a couple of times where
• 1:09:08
  they were blinding us with the lights, not us specifically, but other people
• 1:09:12
  were being blind and they were you know, they were shouting, you know,
• 1:09:15
  turn the lights off, and then when they would, the crowd would
• 1:09:17
  go nuts. And if you're watching WrestleMania, you'll just see you might not
• 1:09:24
  hear the chance, but you'll notice when the lights changed because nothing will of
• 1:09:30
  nothing big will be happening, and all of a sudden you'll get this loud
• 1:09:34
  pop out of nowhere, and you're like, what the hell is that from?
• 1:09:36
  When Day missed something? Yeah, you missed the lights going back on?
• 1:09:42
  Yeah they're off. Yeah, matter of fact, that as you can
• 1:09:45
  absolutely pinpoint that moment in the match. When we talk, I was talking
• 1:09:48
  about the screen not working. Oh yeah, watched that match. You can
• 1:09:51
  absolutely tell when they fixed that screen because just like you described, nothing made
• 1:09:57
  just happening in the ring, and all of a sudden there's this huge cheer
• 1:10:00
  from the crowd, and I was like, that's the moment the screen came
• 1:10:01
  back on. Yeah, out of nowhere. Not seat. You're always wondering
• 1:10:11
  what's you know, Sometimes we be watching the show and the whole crowd will
• 1:10:15
  be looking to the left and they're like, what the fuck are they all
• 1:10:16
  looking at? You know, like maybe there's a fight or something like.
• 1:10:20
  That's the kind of the things that they're never going to acknowledge on the broadcast,
• 1:10:24
  right, But you know, the kind of not behind the scenes,
• 1:10:29
  but like the kind of the being there versus watching it on TV. It's
• 1:10:31
  kind of kind of things that come through. Cole had a rough. It
• 1:10:36
  wasn't just the production people fucking stuff up. Cole had a couple he called
• 1:10:42
  some move that did a pedigree. It was definitely not Yeall Ham and founded
• 1:10:49
  e c W. Ball Hyman did not found e c W. No,
• 1:10:54
  not at all. Yeah, but they did. They did openly acknowledge that
• 1:10:59
  visual miss mess up with Newcast Republic's interest them. They acknowledged that on air.
• 1:11:04
  Yeah, yeah, nothing. Pat McAfee says something like, take that
• 1:11:09
  as disrespect, use it to your advantage. Yeah, I mean, I
• 1:11:13
  don't know if you guys saw it on the raw. I know I'm kind
• 1:11:15
  of jumping ahead here, but Rall had similar issues. Actually, one of
• 1:11:19
  the big ones was all the lights on the arena went off, all of
• 1:11:24
  them and seeing Punk had the mic and he's like, can you turn the
• 1:11:28
  lights back on him? Oh? No, it's sammy' zan. Yeah.
• 1:11:30
  It was during the segment between him and I think it was Chad. They
• 1:11:34
  were in the ring and he was talking and then all of a sudden,
• 1:11:39
  the lights went out. It's like, can I turn the lights? Can
• 1:11:42
  you turn the lights back on? I'm not done yet? Oops? Yeah?
• 1:11:46
  Who the fuck? Like, did you like lean on the keyboard?
• 1:11:49
  Like? What the hell? So let's get into this mess. Guys getting
• 1:11:58
  a little laxic days goal. Without the fear of Vincement man there in the
• 1:12:00
  building, I could there was stuff in this match though. I mean,
• 1:12:08
  I'll say the match itself was was very was actually a really good and entertaining
• 1:12:12
  match. They obviously it was a spot fest not all over the place.
• 1:12:17
  With that many people in it, you can't help but just have spots go
• 1:12:21
  lore in this in a match like this, But it was good that everybody
• 1:12:27
  got opportunities to shine. Everybody got their moment to showcase what they can do
• 1:12:32
  and have stuff. People took some pretty gnarly bumps throughout this match. I
• 1:12:41
  was surprised at the fact that the SmackDown titles were treat retrieved by a time
• 1:12:48
  down under seemingly so early in the match. It's almost like they just got
• 1:12:53
  them out the way real quick, and then almost half the match was everybody
• 1:12:58
  fighting for the remaining Raw Attack titles. Like, I think we all saw
• 1:13:02
  that split coming, but they just took any suspense that there that might not
• 1:13:09
  have been the case out of it by just like over explaining the rules kind
• 1:13:14
  of, you know, like that the match will continue until each set of
• 1:13:17
  titles is separately rough, you know, I wish they kind of why do
• 1:13:21
  you have to say anything? You know, they just they traced like we're
• 1:13:27
  idiots, basically. Yeah, it was like it was kind of obvious that
• 1:13:30
  they were going to split the titles up, but Jesus Christ, could you
• 1:13:33
  could you have at least pretended that it wasn't so obvious, see if they
• 1:13:40
  wanted to make it more Yeah, the fact that the second you saw you
• 1:13:43
  looked up and you saw both Raw and both SmackDown belts up, there's like,
• 1:13:47
  oh, okay, we see what this is. If they want to
• 1:13:50
  be more suspenseful, they could have just put one of each up there.
• 1:13:55
  Yeah, I mean that would be plenty just seeing it. You don't have
• 1:13:58
  to repeatedly tell us over it up. Where do they get Where do they
• 1:14:02
  get these ladders from a fucking dollar store? Like this was? This was
• 1:14:06
  some flimsy half ladders. Oh yeah, oh yeah. There was one spot
• 1:14:12
  where Damien was on one ladder and you could see it buckling and the ref
• 1:14:16
  and the referee was on the outside. She tried to stop him from climbing
• 1:14:19
  that ladder. She was trying to let him like, yo, this ladder's
• 1:14:23
  damage just broken, and he kind of waved off and then climbed up.
• 1:14:26
  And then I don't know if MZ just was just thinking on the spot,
• 1:14:30
  just him being a veteran or something, but he quickly rushed up there with
• 1:14:34
  uh Damien, and then they did there. I guess we're supposed to be
• 1:14:39
  south of Heaven spot, but he really just kind of threw them off.
• 1:14:42
  Then they both jumped off. Yeah. I wonder if they had like two
• 1:14:46
  kinds of ladders, if they had like climbing ladders and ladders they were supposed
• 1:14:50
  to bump on, and maybe they mixed it up or something, because then
• 1:14:55
  they get rid of that ladder and then our truth puts another one in,
• 1:14:58
  like really purposely uh hm, and like that there was a spot I think,
• 1:15:03
  uh theory or wall or got a moon salt onto the ladder on the
• 1:15:09
  outside, and that ladder like you could see the paint come off of it.
• 1:15:12
  You could see it was made at It was not an aluminum ladder.
• 1:15:15
  No, none of them are. Just like I'm wondering if they had,
• 1:15:19
  you know, on ones for the spots and then actual other ones to climb
• 1:15:25
  and they just kind of confused or what, because I can't believe that ladder
• 1:15:28
  didn't just fall apart that they were They had a couple of guys up and
• 1:15:31
  down on it and it was just like it was bad. I It was
• 1:15:36
  funny because my friend that came night too said like, way do you say,
• 1:15:40
  He goes, did you watch the replant? And I said no,
• 1:15:42
  not yet. He said, wait, do you see what these ladders looked
• 1:15:45
  like? He's like, they looked like shit, and he was right,
• 1:15:50
  yeah, I wonder. I don't know if it's because if they are in
• 1:15:54
  fact genuinely different letters, because visually they appear the same until they buck.
• 1:16:00
  And I feel like they've gone away from using true metal ladders quite some time
• 1:16:05
  ago, just because of the the one. They're more difficult to actually buckle,
• 1:16:12
  so I don't know if they're using some sort of different material, but
• 1:16:15
  they still sound metal is Yeah, that's why. That's why I wonder if
• 1:16:18
  there were two different kinds, because that because the one that think that I
• 1:16:23
  forget who I think it was Waller went through I mean outside like paint came
• 1:16:27
  flying out and there was some kind of like orangey material. I don't know
• 1:16:31
  if that was some kind of foam or what the fuck it was, or
• 1:16:34
  if they're hollow or something that so that they can break more easily. I
• 1:16:39
  don't I'll tell you which ladder didn't break that one. There freaking Xavier Woods
• 1:16:44
  tried to do the spot on and he just moused off. He just he
• 1:16:51
  just went right at him and up. Yep, all horizontal energy. But
• 1:17:00
  there there were some fun costumes. Uh, you had d I y and
• 1:17:08
  then hilariously Our Truth thought he was Sen Michaels and made him tune the band
• 1:17:13
  up. That was pretty good. Yea, Our Truth right in this match,
• 1:17:15
  by the way, he wanted to tell again that was hilarious. The
• 1:17:18
  hot tag, Yeah, that was dope. You had They played doing the
• 1:17:24
  rocky thing with Apollo and then even Kofi was dressed as Rocky. Yeah.
• 1:17:30
  Taylor Bait had a fun twist on the airplane spin with the ladder. Oh
• 1:17:38
  dude, that was and the ladder that was pretty cool. Yeah, And
• 1:17:43
  I enjoyed this match a lot. Definitely picked up a little bit after the
• 1:17:48
  Becky. I didn't you know what now anything about most of these on the
• 1:17:54
  card. I don't think I went to the bathroom doing any of these matches
• 1:17:58
  because I was thinking about it for this one, but I was like,
• 1:18:00
  nah, no, I want to see this one, and I'm glad I
• 1:18:03
  stayed to watch it. I did not see Waller in theory walking out with
• 1:18:11
  titles. Did not see that, and then they were They were taken out
• 1:18:15
  of the match then for a little bit, which made sense because, uh,
• 1:18:19
  you don't want them basically jumping on the ladder right next to it and
• 1:18:23
  just grabbing the other set of titles. But I did enjoy the gap they
• 1:18:27
  had in between winning both titles. They weren't done like at the same time
• 1:18:30
  or back to back. I kind of thought the io I was gonna win
• 1:18:36
  it. At you know, at some point I definitely knew MS and Our
• 1:18:42
  Truth were winning a set for sure. Uh our Yeah, our truth like
• 1:18:48
  hitting all his John Stana moves. Crowd loved it. The crowd is ate
• 1:18:54
  it up anything our truth did. The crowd loved it. Uh you do.
• 1:19:00
  You're right to Like all these ladders are they made of like cheap wood?
• 1:19:03
  Like it was ridiculous ladders we saw broke? Uh I dude? Yeah,
• 1:19:09
  you guys talk about the attire. I love the attire. I always
• 1:19:13
  love WrestleMania outfits because they always go buff and beyond, and yeah, I
• 1:19:17
  love the whole Rocky theme. And then I had laughed so hard when I
• 1:19:23
  saw di Y come out just as d X and Doyle Team d UI that
• 1:19:29
  would be the ussos. Yeah, team dy versus Team di I Wy.
• 1:19:35
  I didn't pick up the d X year in real time at all. Oh
• 1:19:40
  I did, did not pick up on it at all. Yeah, it's
• 1:19:45
  hard. It's hard, like like you know, for us, there's a
• 1:19:48
  lot of stuff we didn't pick up until I bet you went home and rewatched
• 1:19:53
  it and we we saw a bunch of things that were like, oh shit,
• 1:19:57
  I didn't know that happened, Like did you know that? Like and
• 1:20:00
  noticing outfits and yeah, especially like more detailed to outfits. I can notice
• 1:20:09
  a lot better obviously watching it, even though we had like massive jumbo tron
• 1:20:14
  right behind our heads. But I wasn't gonna spend my resume and it turned
• 1:20:17
  around, you know, so yeah we saw what we saw in the front
• 1:20:23
  of the movie. The yeah yeah, But you know, at the end
• 1:20:27
  of the day, like I think, like even if you because I brought
• 1:20:32
  binoculars, but even if you couldn't really see much, I think what titan
• 1:20:36
  trons they did have worked pretty well. But it's just the atmosphere, the
• 1:20:42
  crap, just being a part of it, because like I mean, you
• 1:20:45
  guys know like just one whoo, you're out getting food and you just woo
• 1:20:49
  just once, and like you get twenty thirty forty people woo when you know
• 1:20:55
  you're don la night chance, everybody's doing la night chance. You know everybody's
• 1:21:00
  saying yeat, holy shit the yeats? Uh yeah, always to know yeat.
• 1:21:10
  But I'll tell you what, like when I did go to the bathroom
• 1:21:12
  or when I went to go grab food, I was just randomly woo or
• 1:21:15
  just yell, yeat, because you think about it, fellas, where else
• 1:21:20
  can you go and just woo or yell, yeat or yell peep to people.
• 1:21:27
  Yeah, Like where can you do that that it would be acceptable?
• 1:21:30
  Definitely Not at home depot not acceptable? Yeah right, Uh you know where
• 1:21:36
  where else is it acceptable to walk like finsic man. I saw people walking
• 1:21:42
  like fistic man in the parking lot. I saw people dressed like macho man.
• 1:21:45
  I saw uh yeah, I saw a lot of people dressed as wrestlers.
• 1:21:50
  It's just like that. And that's what's so great about this culture of
• 1:21:55
  for wrestling is everywhere, Like yeah, everywhere, Like when we would go
• 1:22:02
  his whole career this weekend, like when I would out go to Lincoln Financial
• 1:22:08
  to watch like a football game, an Eagles game, It's like you only
• 1:22:12
  got fifty percent of the people they are like you. The other fifty percent
• 1:22:15
  fucking hate you. They don't even know who you are, but they hate
• 1:22:18
  you because you're wearing that jersey. But in wrestling, it doesn't matter,
• 1:22:25
  Like, you know, yeah, I may be wearing a Roman Range shirt.
• 1:22:29
  I know I'm gonna get heat for it, but at the same time,
• 1:22:31
  it's not serious heat, Like this guy doesn't want to flip over my
• 1:22:36
  car. Like there's not a riot of people wanting to like flip my car
• 1:22:40
  in the parking lot because I'm wearing a Roman Range shirt. You know,
• 1:22:43
  It's not like I don't know of like you know, Chiefs fans come to
• 1:22:47
  Philly, like, you know, we'll flip your goddamn car after the gaming,
• 1:22:50
  piece of shit. Like people don't do that in wrestling fans. Like
• 1:22:55
  wrestling fans are awesome, Like you know, you might have the occasional fan
• 1:23:00
  that's obnoxious and loud, but at the end of the day, like in
• 1:23:02
  the parking lot, you could just all the people tailgating were so nice,
• 1:23:09
  people waiting in line, you know, just everybody I came across, we're
• 1:23:14
  just so like we were all on the same page. We're all we all
• 1:23:17
  love this. This is the greatest day of our lives. We're at WrestleMania,
• 1:23:23
  like, and everybody was just so positive. You know. I'm just
• 1:23:28
  comparing it from like football games. I've been to baseball games, basketball games,
• 1:23:33
  hockey games, so it's it's definitely a different feel. And it was
• 1:23:40
  nice, Like I'm gonna bring Andrew on here at some point, and Dwayne
• 1:23:45
  and Ron and stuff, and like especially like Andrew she goes to NASCAR,
• 1:23:48
  She goes to she's going to football and stuff. So I was like,
• 1:23:51
  well, what's it like being with a ww universe like being with us being
• 1:23:58
  like, what's it like? She's a It's something completely different and it totally
• 1:24:01
  is. There's nothing else like it on earth, Like I mean maybe you
• 1:24:08
  could no, not even boxing, not even UFC. You know, like
• 1:24:12
  the energy that we have and the passion that we have for something like this,
• 1:24:16
  you know, and you know, there's weeks that we fucking hate it.
• 1:24:21
  We hate the content that's coming out. We hate Monday Night Row and
• 1:24:25
  smack Down. That week it was just absolute garbage. Guess what I'll be
• 1:24:30
  there next week? How many how much shit over the years have we sat
• 1:24:34
  through and we're still here, So let's saying something But uh yeah, dude,
• 1:24:42
  Like but you know, I getting back to this match. I know
• 1:24:45
  kind of got off trail there, but like getting back to this match.
• 1:24:48
  Everybody got got their moment to shine in this match. I'm really happy with
• 1:24:53
  the fallout of the tag team titles. Finally they're split. Even finally even
• 1:25:00
  McDonough got he did he did so, but like everybody, the thing is
• 1:25:10
  like I loved it. Like when you can tell when the crowd believes it,
• 1:25:15
  like this is it, this is the moment, because everybody starts standing
• 1:25:19
  up and I saw at least seventy thousand people stand up for our truth before
• 1:25:27
  he grabbed that title because we were all so excited, and what a hell
• 1:25:30
  of a pop for him. This is I think this is his first WrestleMania
• 1:25:34
  win. I think so. And with the Miss, you know, I'm
• 1:25:39
  really I really would love to know what the miss said to him at the
• 1:25:42
  top of that ladder, But uh dud, congrats to both teams. We
• 1:25:46
  got an older team, uh or revitalized older team that won the tag team
• 1:25:53
  titles one last time probably, and then we got a whole new heeled tag
• 1:25:59
  team to win the title. So honestly, what's that I say you said
• 1:26:03
  one last time? I was like, well, it could be one last
• 1:26:05
  time. I think they said in this commentary this is the first time ever
• 1:26:09
  winning the title because they never won the titles when they were a type team
• 1:26:13
  before, right, I know they wont the tag titles. I believe they
• 1:26:15
  won the tag titles before. It's just that it's been like eleven years or
• 1:26:20
  so. But I just don't see them having another title run. After this,
• 1:26:27
  I I just think this is just you know, the moment, and
• 1:26:31
  I'm sure they're gonna they're gonna lose it. They're gonna lose it rough,
• 1:26:35
  but you know, I'm enjoying the roller coaster ride, guys of Our Truth
• 1:26:42
  in the Miz, you know, one last run with some gold. So
• 1:26:46
  yeah, I don't know, I'm just doing it quick. Yeah, some
• 1:26:48
  resent. I could be wrong because I've just seen the Miz have so many
• 1:26:53
  tag tag team partners. You know, it's it's hard to tell. I
• 1:26:57
  thought I remember them saying that, yeah you might great guys. Yeah quick
• 1:27:01
  looking it says this that their first reign, so I think, yeah,
• 1:27:04
  I think they they obviously were a tag team before, but yeah, I
• 1:27:08
  don't think they ever the titles even bigger, even bigger reason and bigger moment
• 1:27:15
  for them, you know. Uh yeah, I think they've both been tag
• 1:27:18
  champion. Oh yeah yeah with other people. Yeah, I think Kofi and
• 1:27:27
  Our Truth were a tag team for a minute, and uh yeah the Mizzen,
• 1:27:32
  John Morrison and Miss and Big Show and et cetera. So yeah,
• 1:27:39
  yeah, you're right, you're right, Oh god, yes, yeah,
• 1:27:45
  this was a great mass again the only the only gripe that I have with
• 1:27:49
  it, which is, you know, similar to what you said to him,
• 1:27:53
  is I wish it would have just had a little bit more suspense with
• 1:27:56
  the finish, if they could have just kind of just help Bury. I
• 1:28:00
  guess Bury the lead a little bit more in terms of both titles are going
• 1:28:04
  to be split, if they they could have done a better job of concealing
• 1:28:09
  that and to let that split happen naturally in the match and let that be
• 1:28:15
  the suspenseful finish that oh shit, these titles worse have are now split,
• 1:28:21
  rather than saying basically, I mean the way they announced it, we just
• 1:28:26
  said that beforehand, that look, we're going to split the titles at WrestleMania.
• 1:28:30
  Yeah, exactly like it would have been. I think it would have
• 1:28:33
  been better if it would have just happened and that been like a surprise finish.
• 1:28:38
  That could have been the one thing that just took this match to the
• 1:28:41
  next level and if they could have had that. But other than that,
• 1:28:45
  again, another seventeen minute match. I think they got time to cook without
• 1:28:49
  staying too long. So far, that's been a good trend on the show.
• 1:28:55
  Spoiler alert will not continue. Second long match of the night. Actually
• 1:29:00
  yeah, yeah, this match went for seventeen minutes and twenty five seconds,
• 1:29:04
  so yeah, second longest match of the night outside of the obvious. Yeah,
• 1:29:11
  but again, like five more minutes would have been too much. Yeah
• 1:29:15
  yeah, just the right amount of time. Following this match was my bathroom
• 1:29:20
  break because I missed the entrances for Raven Stereo and Andrade taking on Santos Escobar
• 1:29:29
  in Dirty Dominic Mystereo. I don't really know what all there is to say
• 1:29:38
  about this match, Like, this match kind of just played out as a
• 1:29:42
  regular tag team match. They didn't really do anything like special for I mean,
• 1:29:46
  they did have some dope spots in the match, so, I mean
• 1:29:49
  it was pay per view level obviously. You know, the the sling shots
• 1:29:54
  splash from the guy from the LWO where they just freaking yeaded his us up
• 1:30:00
  the ramp onto the Fantasma guys. That was a dope spot. You know,
• 1:30:05
  might have been doper had I not seen them do it on NXT like
• 1:30:09
  a few weeks ago. But that's a cool spot. And probably the biggest
• 1:30:14
  moment of this match was the two mashed white guys coming out the audience and
• 1:30:19
  chucking MDB the to the ring post and then throwing them back in the ring.
• 1:30:26
  Those two mass guys being revealed as Jason Kelcey of the Philadelphia Eagles retired
• 1:30:30
  and Lane Johnson of the Philadelphia Eagles, which again cool spot, obviously dope
• 1:30:35
  hometown thing to do, But the match itself was just kind of so so
• 1:30:43
  just okay, nothing really special of that grand about it? Would you?
• 1:30:47
  What were your thoughts, Doyle? Uh, you know, I don't think
• 1:30:50
  in real time I realized that this was a sponsored match. I think we
• 1:30:55
  all had the faces winning anyway. But but if we all know Ray Maisterio
• 1:30:59
  does not lose sponsored matches. Yeah, I mean, not really a whole
• 1:31:02
  lot to add here. There were a couple of cool things. That double
• 1:31:08
  crossbody that Ray and Androtti did was fucking awesome off the turn buckle to the
• 1:31:15
  outside. That was pretty cool. Yeah. I mean, I'm glad that
• 1:31:21
  they didn't make this another gang war match because we already had one. I
• 1:31:26
  think we had speculated on whether there would be two, but they still managed
• 1:31:29
  to get everybody involved, which is cool. What I was interested to see
• 1:31:38
  at what point the mask men were introduced, because I feel like we knew
• 1:31:43
  about it way before it showed up on the broadcast. Maybe just because of
• 1:31:46
  where we were sitting, you could kind of you could see him coming.
• 1:31:51
  But that was cool. I mean, you want to get I think we
• 1:31:54
  all knew that Jason Kelcey would show up somewhere over the course of the weekend.
• 1:32:00
  That seemed as good place as any to put him. Yeah, I
• 1:32:04
  mean it was a fun match. It was just kind of a filler.
• 1:32:09
  I guess, for lack of a better word, I kind of hope this
• 1:32:14
  is the end of would turned out to not be that great a feud between
• 1:32:18
  Ray and Escobar. I'm kind of done with that. It seems like it
• 1:32:27
  had all kinds of potential and it never really let up to much of anything.
• 1:32:30
  I'm wondering about the coming out of this. I guess Carlito is maybe
• 1:32:34
  upset he wasn't in this match, But other than that, I think we
• 1:32:42
  all all parties should go move on to something else. Definitely, like this
• 1:32:46
  thing is run its course, and it didn't do much running. So yeah,
• 1:32:51
  I'm perfectly content with you know, look out all the fantasma moving on
• 1:32:58
  to beef wit whoever. I don't know, maybe they start beefing with Lashley
• 1:33:01
  and them now and then I would hope that these two groups get split up
• 1:33:05
  in the draft and then we deal with woman inside drama between l w O
• 1:33:13
  and what have you. Which, Yeah, for being factions like this that
• 1:33:18
  seemed to have so much promise, especially l WO when they were first revealed,
• 1:33:23
  when they remember when Ray first gave them them shirts and was like,
• 1:33:26
  oh shit, l WO. We really thought it was gonna be something.
• 1:33:29
  Yeah, it hasn't been. Got the l w O black and red.
• 1:33:34
  You know, it's been very, very lackluster, Like probably the you could
• 1:33:42
  argue probably the best moment that the whole faction has had was the Lada Vegas
• 1:33:45
  match at Backlash last year in Puerto Rico. That's probably the best moment that
• 1:33:51
  l WO as a faction that's really had. But other than that, it
• 1:33:57
  is it's been a real letdown and it's all It almost seems like they brought
• 1:34:00
  in like got ol Fit del Fantasma to try to be what LWO couldn't be,
• 1:34:05
  is that really prominent Hispanic group because just didn't seem to get over.
• 1:34:13
  So the shirts sold like crazy, but that's about it. Either break the
• 1:34:15
  LW up or at least separate the two groups something because I think, yeah,
• 1:34:23
  they can be doing much better than what they have been. It's just
• 1:34:28
  unfortunately, just poor booking, poor storyline planning. Well, so now we've
• 1:34:33
  got two we've got two tag champions now championships now, So hopefully maybe maybe
• 1:34:41
  the ashes of those factions, you know, go back to being tag teams
• 1:34:45
  and yeah, or they get yeah, or one faction gets moved over to
• 1:34:50
  Raw and while one remains on SmackDown and then hey, look, representation,
• 1:34:56
  you got Hispanic faction on each show, right poison shout out to race,
• 1:35:02
  Uh bring it tire though the Philadelphia Eagles gear. Dude, Yeah, I
• 1:35:08
  liked it. Any other thoughts on this match? Oh well, oh wait,
• 1:35:15
  yeah, no school, I was waiting for you guys to wrap up.
• 1:35:17
  Uh no, you know what, as uh Carlito would say, I
• 1:35:23
  like to spit in the face of matches that aren't cool, And this was
• 1:35:28
  a match that was put together after we did our episodes. It was like
• 1:35:32
  last minute with some replacements. Uh. You know, I kinda talked about
• 1:35:39
  it back when Dragon Lea was quote unquote entered in the lw O. I
• 1:35:45
  I kind of thought like, oh this, I think the seeds are being
• 1:35:48
  planted for Carlito turning heel. I thought we would see that WrestleMania. I
• 1:35:55
  also thought we would just get a full on LWO versus Locatto delphint Asthma.
• 1:36:00
  Instead we got tag matches. Ah yeah, but we didn't need to like
• 1:36:05
  we have we had that match on that Yeah, that's the thing, is
• 1:36:09
  like, yeah, exactly, I like I get it. We kind of
• 1:36:15
  got Oh they somehow found a way to get Dominic and Ray to go against
• 1:36:18
  each other at WrestleMania. You know again, so but yeah, he tricked
• 1:36:25
  us, but yeah it was super forced. Like this guy who's not even
• 1:36:30
  in my stable is interfering in this because my stable can't take care of the
• 1:36:35
  job. You know. Uh I I I guess if there was a bathroom
• 1:36:45
  break, this would have been mine, But I guess I didn't have to
• 1:36:47
  go at the time. I feel like I've seen a number of combinations of
• 1:36:56
  these matches, like every week on SmackDown, Like I've seen it two on
• 1:37:02
  two, two on three, three on three, one on one, one
• 1:37:05
  on one, you know, the women versus each other, Like I just
• 1:37:10
  yeah, I'm just I'm just exhausted with the feud in general, and I'm
• 1:37:14
  getting at the same point with Carrion Cross's group, and at Bobby Lashley's group,
• 1:37:19
  I'm getting to that same point where it's like, Okay, the feud
• 1:37:23
  is done, Like can we move on? So Dre, I agree,
• 1:37:29
  like, hopefully when the draft comes it'll split these teams up. I do
• 1:37:33
  want to see them still together, but I just want to see him split
• 1:37:35
  a one different rosters and maybe come across each other again at Survivor Series or
• 1:37:42
  The Rumble or but for right now, let's cool it off. Okay,
• 1:37:46
  with the LW one, we get it. They're they're better, they clearly
• 1:37:50
  have way more members, but yet they would always still lose a week after
• 1:37:56
  week for some odd reason. I don't understand how that worked when you guys
• 1:38:00
  had many, many more members, but whatever, because you wouldn't tell.
• 1:38:05
  Based upon watching on SmackDown, you basically think that the ol WO was Ray
• 1:38:11
  Carlito and Zelina Vega. The other two motherfuckers would be backstage one moment and
• 1:38:15
  then watch Regaz stomped out the next moment, and not do ships was in
• 1:38:21
  the bathroom or someonere Rega was worn out from their main event match before the
• 1:38:26
  SmackDown tapings or what. But again, just dumb booking. You got all
• 1:38:32
  these members and yet half of them just sit around and just watch the other
• 1:38:35
  ones get the shit kicked out on every week. Dude. It tries me
• 1:38:40
  nuts because somebody gets jumped him, like where's where's Carlito? Yeah, n
• 1:38:46
  WO would never let that happen. That's why I would never let that happen.
• 1:38:50
  I was starting to call them Loser World Order because they were just losing
• 1:38:56
  matches, like every fucking week. Damn, you got more, got you
• 1:39:00
  get more than sixty seconds working offense, off Rick Flair, the whole force
• 1:39:04
  coming out there and whooping your ass and while we get watched reggae. This
• 1:39:10
  ship kicked in from one commercial break to the other, and the mother two
• 1:39:14
  motherfuckers are just still in the back dammit, playing cards like that. That's
• 1:39:19
  what we should have had as a backstage segment, just Ray come back there
• 1:39:23
  and just cussing them the funk out in Spanish. What's y'all? Yeah?
• 1:39:30
  Whooped for the last five minutes. We're familiar. I will beat you with
• 1:39:33
  the belt like I beat my son, which I was disappointed we didn't get
• 1:39:40
  that this year. We almost did. We didn't need to do that same
• 1:39:45
  troat no more down and grown up. Now, ain't the little version that
• 1:39:48
  fought his dad last year? Yeah yeah, you got Bobby Juice on them
• 1:39:53
  now. I like that, But eleven MISSI a little too long. But
• 1:40:02
  it's funny how the next match we have on the card is exactly eleven minutes
• 1:40:08
  and five seconds as well, and also exactly it's disappointing. Yeah, oh
• 1:40:14
  yeah, let's hear it, let's let's move on. It was the brotherly
• 1:40:18
  brawl, the clash of ken folk, the squabble over the super kicks they
• 1:40:26
  do so versus Jimmy who so, and quite frankly, the best part of
• 1:40:30
  this match was the damn promo leading up to it. Yeah, oh yeah,
• 1:40:36
  the video package was good. That video package was fucking excellent. That
• 1:40:41
  shit was fucking Chef's kiss. Only if only we had known the utter disappointment
• 1:40:46
  we were in for after that shit, because that thing damn show built it
• 1:40:50
  up like, oh, it's about to go down, brother, Oh brother,
• 1:40:54
  it's about to be some emotion. It's about to be this a third,
• 1:40:57
  it's about to be thirty five super kick. Well, your first clue
• 1:41:01
  that things were about to go awry should have been Uh, Lil Wayne announces
• 1:41:08
  the greatest rapper of all time? Right, first move I forgot about.
• 1:41:15
  I was like, whoa, whoa came down like this, ain't I don't
• 1:41:21
  see j nowhere passed away? What happened? I don't think somebody's about to
• 1:41:27
  reintroduce themselves. Their name is Hove. And then, of all songs for
• 1:41:32
  Wayne to come out, so he came out to a milli or to perform
• 1:41:36
  a milli, which a millie is not a bad song. It's a banger,
• 1:41:41
  it's a bona fide banger, but it's not an arena song. It's
• 1:41:45
  not the type of song that you play an arena that you when you're trying
• 1:41:47
  to build up a whole lot of energy, especially when you're playing up a
• 1:41:51
  guy like j Ousso who comes out with one of the hypeest themes in wrestling.
• 1:41:58
  Right now. Well, they had advertised that Lil Wayne was gonna perform
• 1:42:01
  his new single. That was like how he was advertised. And then he
• 1:42:05
  came out and only thank god, he was only on for thirty seconds.
• 1:42:10
  And then we went to Jay who was real song. Yeah, I'm gonna
• 1:42:14
  play something for you guys, real quick. I want you to tell me
• 1:42:16
  if you're gonna understand these lyrics. I'm my young money milliari my pride,
• 1:42:26
  your compete, but your conades isn't there. I'm gonna read you d Jesus
• 1:42:30
  true in league on a sheet. I'm telling him I don't right because I
• 1:42:36
  got time. I mean, child hip hop, I know exactly what the
• 1:42:45
  hell he says. I mean, like I got I know the lyrics.
• 1:42:47
  I know the lyrics right, but like I was just like it sounded like
• 1:42:54
  he was just like I was like a child, just babbling about nothing to
• 1:43:00
  You're absolutely right when she when she said the greatest rapper of all time?
• 1:43:05
  I immediately was like, fucking what now? What did you just fucking say?
• 1:43:11
  Like who the fuck told you to say that? They really throw their
• 1:43:15
  greatest blah blah blah blah blah blah A long time dude, every every celebrity
• 1:43:20
  like t Pain, was that the greatest of all time? Like no,
• 1:43:25
  he's not. Yeah right that somebody really need to have a meet with W.
• 1:43:30
  Like somebody at t KO need to have a meet with w W about
• 1:43:32
  that. Like y'all need to calm down with the goat ship. Okay,
• 1:43:36
  and that ain't for y'all to declare. Y'all just because y'all say it,
• 1:43:39
  don't make it true. Although I didn't enjoy the goat, little Wayne is
• 1:43:45
  the goat. I did enjoy being part of the Yeat crowd. That was
• 1:43:49
  nice. You know, when when Jay Uso came out, uh nothing really
• 1:43:55
  to do. When Jimmy Usso comes out tome which is so weird. You
• 1:43:58
  know, you got Jay, he's got he got the hand motions, he
• 1:44:00
  got the the Yeat. But you thought Jimmy may have maybe I don't know,
• 1:44:05
  maybe would have thought of a no Yeat chant or something. But his
• 1:44:10
  music wasn't, I don't know, not as catchy as Jay's. But I
• 1:44:13
  think that's done on purpose. Ah. What a disappointing fucking match. I'll
• 1:44:20
  tell you what, guys. I was excited for this match because I don't
• 1:44:26
  think i've seen them versus each other ever. You know, I've always seen
• 1:44:30
  them and known them as a tag team. But we talked about this match
• 1:44:33
  as being a potential show stealer. Yeah, but here's the thing is,
• 1:44:40
  like you got two wrestlers who have almost the same I mean, obviously they're
• 1:44:45
  fucking twins, but they have like the same move set. I think that
• 1:44:53
  was part of the problem. I think that was part of the problem too.
• 1:44:56
  Yeah, it's just too it'd be like I don't know, like it's
• 1:45:00
  just like in a video game when you choose the thing about of an old
• 1:45:02
  WrestleMania game, Doyle, where you would have like Razor Ramone Shawn Michaels the
• 1:45:08
  Undertaker in there, right, but you had the option of picking like Razor
• 1:45:12
  Ramone, Like three people could pick Razor Ramone, but he would just had
• 1:45:15
  different colored tights on. But it was not as fun wrestling with three Razor
• 1:45:20
  Ramones. You know, this is not as fun or like when you're playing
• 1:45:25
  two K by yourself and you're like, I'm gonna have a whole team of
• 1:45:28
  Undertakers where I had the Badass Undertaker, the Ministry or Darkness Undertaker. Even
• 1:45:34
  then you know, like you know, some guys are big and strong and
• 1:45:39
  some are smaller and faster, and you know it's you know, you want
• 1:45:42
  to match up a little guy and a big guy, or a power guy
• 1:45:45
  and a technical guy or whatever, and when you just have yeah, like
• 1:45:48
  you said, player one and player two the same person. Yeah, I
• 1:45:53
  mean, there's no there's no miss mash you know. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:45:58
  I mean that's how the fighter to you and Ken. There you go,
• 1:46:02
  prime example. I mean, do you guys remember how awesome by Nikki Bella
• 1:46:10
  versus Brebella. You guys remember that fucking knee slapper of a match? That
• 1:46:15
  was awesome? Right? Are your top ten top ten favorite matches of of
• 1:46:21
  siblings ever? Like the best had to be the best twins match ever?
• 1:46:28
  Right, No, it's just it just sucks. It's just doing well.
• 1:46:33
  Most sibling matches are pretty I mean the Hardy's matches were terrible. Is really
• 1:46:40
  the only really because you got two great technical wrestlers, they can go yes,
• 1:46:47
  master classic match with each other. Yeah, I mean we you would
• 1:46:51
  think, okay, the Hardy boys when they verse each other, what are
• 1:46:56
  we gonna get a lot of We're gonna get a lot of high flying moves,
• 1:46:58
  people going through table right, what are we gonna get with uh,
• 1:47:02
  let's say the Bellas or a lot of hair pulling, a lot of slapping?
• 1:47:05
  Right, what are we gonna get with Dosos? A shipload of supercakes?
• 1:47:11
  So I guess deep down I kind of expected this, but at the
• 1:47:16
  same time, I was like, nah, this is it's gonna be different,
• 1:47:18
  right, We're gonna get like a top quality match here. Five stars
• 1:47:27
  fuck was iral and I think we all picked Jimmy, right, and I
• 1:47:31
  think yeah, yeah, missed the opportunity to do right on top of having
• 1:47:38
  a bad match, you go with the clean baby face Jay husso win.
• 1:47:42
  Yeah, I mean it just did nothing for Jimmy at all, just buried
• 1:47:46
  me even further than he's already been buried. Yeah, I mean, and
• 1:47:50
  we were even talking about how much better Jay's presentation is, his entrance and
• 1:47:56
  everything is, and then you just ship like Jimmy, it just seems less
• 1:48:00
  than in every conceivable way, right. You know, I'm not sure who
• 1:48:05
  who who the producer of it was, the back you know, whoever helped
• 1:48:11
  them help literally helped them put it together. But I mean they had to
• 1:48:15
  have known that this was gonna be a wet fart right, Like right,
• 1:48:18
  how match meeting goes five star classic, you know? And it seemed appropriate
• 1:48:25
  that this one was sponsored by dudeps because it was pretty shitty. Yeah,
• 1:48:31
  production meeting go for this match, like I his what happy he go gun
• 1:48:35
  down? You go dive out the ring, tackle, throw him in the
• 1:48:40
  ring and then you're gonna superkick him, and then he gonna superkick you,
• 1:48:45
  and then you will get a whole bunch of the men on him. He
• 1:48:46
  gonna say he's sorry. Did he gonna kick you? Did? He gonna
• 1:48:49
  start kicking you a whole lot? And then you gonna duck one and you
• 1:48:54
  gonna spear him, you go splash him, and that's it, and the
• 1:48:57
  people are gonna love it, and that fake apology bullshit like that? Do
• 1:49:05
  you guys? Do you guys remember that being aware that that was going on
• 1:49:12
  because of how the crowd was reacting. But I was hard looking up at
• 1:49:16
  the screen and seeing that, Okay, he's doing the whole I'm sorry thing,
• 1:49:19
  And that moment could have been so much. It could have had weight
• 1:49:24
  to it, It could have had impact to it, had the match been
• 1:49:27
  better leading into that, had they not already lost the crowd with just a
• 1:49:32
  ton of super kicks, had we actually got like a real hard hitting match
• 1:49:36
  where they were really going at it and not just kicking each other, really
• 1:49:41
  doing moves or taking even just fighting outside fight outside the fucking ring. And
• 1:49:47
  and like those turbuckle, those flighting some steps and then something they mentioned,
• 1:49:54
  but why wasn't he there? You know, why wasn't he in the front
• 1:49:56
  round? Wife there? That would have helped so much. She start watching,
• 1:50:01
  yep, imagine the camera. Imagine a moment where like Jimmy has or
• 1:50:08
  Jay is laid out on the Spanish renown's table, and you got Jimmy climbing
• 1:50:14
  onto the turnbuckle ready to splashing from the outside, and paired in between two
• 1:50:17
  of them, you see Rakishi watching all or Rakesh's like, no, not
• 1:50:23
  this, and he jumps over the turn rope rail and stands in front of
• 1:50:26
  his brother like no, no, don't do it, don't do it,
• 1:50:29
  and Jimmy's like, I did it for the rock decides it either jumps anyway,
• 1:50:35
  and you know, maybe Dad pulls Jay out the way and Jimmy goes
• 1:50:41
  crashing into the table and now Dad's like, fuck, I saved Jay at
• 1:50:45
  the cost of Jimmy and now he's trying to check on Jimmy or something like
• 1:50:48
  that. There could have been so much more storytelling done in this match.
• 1:50:53
  They could have done so much more. It just it really feels like they
• 1:50:57
  just phoned it in. That they really just phoned it in. And I
• 1:51:01
  could understand that maybe if Jimmy had won and we knew that this was just
• 1:51:08
  the first round of a series and that we could have something looking to look
• 1:51:12
  forward to moving forward, like Okay, they're gonna step it up next time,
• 1:51:15
  We're gonna get more next time. But instead, Nah, Jay's over.
• 1:51:18
  There's no reason for a rematch, and this match should have been six
• 1:51:23
  months ago. Like I know they wanted to wait till many or whatever,
• 1:51:26
  but like I don't care. There's no there's no there there anymore. There
• 1:51:29
  wasn't worth it. He was deucesses. You know, that's when you should
• 1:51:35
  have had this match. On that Okay, that part I disagree, though
• 1:51:41
  I think they were I think they were still right by keeping them apart and
• 1:51:45
  keeping it to a wrestlemedia. It's just what they did in the meantime filling
• 1:51:49
  the gap. They did everything right on one side in terms of j but
• 1:51:56
  they didn't give Jimmy the same investment because they put him back with the bloodline
• 1:52:01
  and basically had them being comedy relief in the bloodline, comic relief in the
• 1:52:06
  blood line, rather than developing him as his own individual. Because regardless of
• 1:52:12
  everything that happened when they came out when they were one and two in the
• 1:52:15
  rumble, we was hype and shit when we saw that stare down, everybody
• 1:52:19
  couldn't wait to see them to go at it. So the anticipation in the
• 1:52:23
  hype had always been there up until the bell rung. It's just the final
• 1:52:29
  product was such a stinker that it's just it sours the whole thing. It
• 1:52:34
  sours these not just the match itself, it sours the whole last six months
• 1:52:40
  of build up because now that that sucked, we're looking back at it and
• 1:52:44
  realizing, oh, this wasn't just a mistake of the match that like the
• 1:52:47
  mistakes were made prior to this match. Yeah, I mean this was the
• 1:52:56
  worst match I saw a weekend. Oh yeah, we saw we saw fellow
• 1:53:00
  Fonso versus Joel gerdiner that we did and that was a piece of that we
• 1:53:06
  did. Yeah, in terms of this wrestlemand card, this was definitely the
• 1:53:12
  most disappointing match. And yeah, yeah, I agree, this is the
• 1:53:16
  worst. This was the worst match of the whole pay per view. Yeah,
• 1:53:19
  the the i w C is calling it the worst match ever. It
• 1:53:23
  is not that I ever, no, but yeah, I would say the
• 1:53:27
  worst match on the card. Yeah, worst match on the card. Definitely
• 1:53:30
  most disappointing match on the card. This is this is the most disappointing match
• 1:53:35
  I can think of him quite a while. Actually, I don't know what.
• 1:53:41
  Yeah, so I guess we can move on to this from this one.
• 1:53:45
  I don't know if there's any more dunking on this one that we can
• 1:53:47
  do, right, we wanted something a bit better, yeah, with Black
• 1:53:58
  Girl Magic taking on Asian Persuasion. In other words, damage Control Dakota,
• 1:54:08
  Kai Oscar and Kyrie Say taking on the Powerhouse trio of Naomi, Jade,
• 1:54:15
  Car Gill and Bianca bell Air now off top. Uh, damage Control had
• 1:54:25
  a dope entrance, like just the the video package, the the the graphics
• 1:54:31
  associated with their entrants, with the what was it the blossom cherry Jerry blossoms
• 1:54:39
  is it? Yeah, all the cross like blowing into like it was a
• 1:54:45
  dope entrance. The entrance that uh, Jay, Bianca and Naomi had.
• 1:54:55
  Probably because we were on the opposite side of the stadium from it, we
• 1:54:59
  didn't really get I didn't see it that well. No, I saw them,
• 1:55:02
  yeah, Like we saw them setting up beforehand, like like okay,
• 1:55:05
  something's going down over there, like they're setting up something, but from our
• 1:55:10
  season it was hard to pick up. So seeing it on the replay,
• 1:55:14
  I was like, oh, okay, it's still kind of lazy and kind
• 1:55:17
  of simple, but okay, like they basically just had them lifted up.
• 1:55:23
  They lowered them down, all right, a little bit of Jay's music.
• 1:55:27
  There was a real lack of big entrances. I mean there were more Sunday
• 1:55:31
  than Saturday, but just in general, yeah, Saturday is a whole so
• 1:55:36
  much bigger, and it just I mean we didn get certainly got some.
• 1:55:41
  Yeah, just overall, I thought the entrances were kind of lackluster. Yeah,
• 1:55:46
  yeah as a whole. Sunday, I mean, Saturday just felt very
• 1:55:49
  muted compared to Sunday, just as a whole. Yeah. But nevertheless,
• 1:55:55
  the match itself was fairly good. It was more watching replay, I've realized
• 1:56:00
  that match was a little bit more competitive than it appeared live. Like live,
• 1:56:04
  it came across as a squash. Watching the replay, I was like,
• 1:56:08
  oh damnage control did get a little bit of offense and still was more
• 1:56:12
  or less a glorified squash, like a gentleman sweep more or less. But
• 1:56:16
  the match was at least better in the replay than watching it live. It
• 1:56:24
  was good. Nail Me had some good moments of offense. Bianca went out
• 1:56:29
  there and practically soloed the group for a little while. Jay ed Her came
• 1:56:34
  in there and made it short and sweet, beast beast finisher done though,
• 1:56:40
  so good match. Not nothing special or extraordinary, but good enough match.
• 1:56:47
  But regardless, I am still here for the three of these women, and
• 1:56:55
  I hope that they keep them together for all of twenty twenty four. And
• 1:56:59
  I'm by all of them. I mean, Jade, Bianca, and nail
• 1:57:01
  Me. They need to be a faction or a click or something, whether
• 1:57:04
  you give them a name, whether they go by Big three or whatever,
• 1:57:10
  they need to say together for all of this year. And I want to
• 1:57:12
  see them dominate all of this year, because, honestly, the favorite.
• 1:57:17
  I don't know if y'all watch the press conference for Saturday, but they were
• 1:57:26
  the All three of them came out for the press conference post Mania Saturday.
• 1:57:30
  They got genuine chemistry with each other, like they interact with each other a
• 1:57:34
  lot, like they legit homegirls that have known each other for a long time.
• 1:57:40
  I don't know how long. Bianca and jaydo know each other, but
• 1:57:44
  their interactions with each other and how they hang out with each other, like
• 1:57:46
  it feels real and genuine. It's so much fun. And I want to
• 1:57:50
  see that what I saw in that press conference translate to them on screen in
• 1:57:56
  the ring. If they can make that happen and let that be like their
• 1:58:00
  dynamic throughout the year before the inevitable breakup, but that could be their dynamic
• 1:58:04
  throughout the year, that will be phenomenal and I will love every second of
• 1:58:09
  it because I loved seeing them in that press I almost love the press conference
• 1:58:13
  with them three more than the match itself, Like that's how that's how enjoyable
• 1:58:17
  it was watching them just interact with each other. Like I said, it
• 1:58:20
  was dope. The one knock. If I would knock anything on this match,
• 1:58:25
  it would be on Jade car Gill, just in the sense that we
• 1:58:29
  still have yet to see her take any bumps. Everything we've seen from her
• 1:58:35
  so far has just been come in and squash and dominate, so it's hard
• 1:58:42
  to Still it's still kind of hard to gauge what kind of progress she's made
• 1:58:46
  since joining WW and since putting time down in the PC because we haven't seen
• 1:58:53
  her take bumps or having to take any spots from anybody or be any in
• 1:58:58
  the ring for a really any extended period of time. And I don't know
• 1:59:02
  if it was intended that way or not, but at one point it almost
• 1:59:05
  seemed like she got a little bit lost in the match and got caught up
• 1:59:10
  a little bit because when she first came in the ring and she uh dropped
• 1:59:14
  Dakota, then dropped Osca and then started, you know, stritting to the
• 1:59:18
  crowd and talking smack. Then they cut over to Kyrie sitting on the top
• 1:59:23
  turbuckle and she's like hey and yelling at her. So I don't know if
• 1:59:27
  she was just doing that as part of the spot or if that was like
• 1:59:30
  her like like hey, get back into the match, like trying to get
• 1:59:33
  her attention, to get her focused back in the match. Like you can
• 1:59:36
  almost read that moment either way between the two. But again, that's a
• 1:59:42
  minor gripe. There's still plenty of time for Jay to develop and show us
• 1:59:47
  what she is or show us what kind of progress she's actually made throughout the
• 1:59:51
  time. But again, overall, good match, Wayne, What were your
• 1:59:57
  thoughts, you know, I think they I don't think they did the entrance
• 2:00:03
  correctly. I think they botched the timing of some of the music when the
• 2:00:06
  girls were coming down, and it's it kind of sucked because like their music
• 2:00:14
  was like like our music, it's like thirty seconds not even. So we
• 2:00:18
  were getting like little tiny bits of entrance because I love Jake Cargle's and the
• 2:00:25
  like new entrance the way they have it, so I was kind of hoping
• 2:00:28
  to see that on it on its own in a WrestleMania scale. They kept
• 2:00:33
  her pretty protected in this match, Like you said, she hasn't taken any
• 2:00:36
  pumps yet. Uh, I'm hoope. You know, this was definitely a
• 2:00:44
  squash match of sorts, which is kind of weird seeing that happen to Damage
• 2:00:49
  Control considering they're dominating, you know, the past couple of months and they
• 2:00:55
  have the they're holding onto the women's tag titles. So now I hope you
• 2:01:00
  know now that they were squashed so damn easily. It's like, okay,
• 2:01:05
  girls, go get those tag titles. Like I, like I said before,
• 2:01:12
  like I want this team to stay together long after WrestleMania, so I
• 2:01:15
  hope this is a new stable. You know, let's get the tag titles.
• 2:01:21
  Let's want to bring over a women's title, you know, or if
• 2:01:25
  we get a mid Cary women's title, like an NXT, like, yeah,
• 2:01:30
  let's let's get that. But like, I want to see these girls
• 2:01:32
  stay together. I kind of don't know what's gonna happen to Damage Control now
• 2:01:40
  that Becky's gone. Are they just gonna continue with Dakota Kai and the other
• 2:01:45
  three? Uh? Who knows at this point. But yeah, I overall
• 2:01:51
  I did enjoy this match, even though it was one of the shortest matches
• 2:01:57
  on the car. But uh, it was kind of nice seeing them like
• 2:02:02
  just literally dominate them, especially after Damage Control has been dominating the entire year.
• 2:02:10
  So yeah, I I I enjoyed it, not a bathroom break.
• 2:02:16
  So in terms of the Big Three or whatever we're gonna call them, but
• 2:02:27
  for they by the way, uh, there's only one Big three and it's
• 2:02:30
  Robert Parrish, Kevin Mchall, Larry Bird. Actually it's Narutzo Bleach in one
• 2:02:34
  piece. But go on, I don't know what any of that out there
• 2:02:44
  listening? Who know, I I do? Uh, two words did come
• 2:02:47
  to mind, Well, you guys were discussing them sticking together, and those
• 2:02:51
  two words are fabulous free birds. Uh, it might be cool if they
• 2:02:57
  did kind of a thing like that, uh, where the three of them
• 2:03:00
  hold the titles and they kind of have different configurations or whatever. They might
• 2:03:04
  be interested. Yeah. I mean this match pretty much existed to showcase Jade
• 2:03:10
  and you know, give her a WrestleMania moment or whatever. Bianca remains undefeated
• 2:03:15
  at WrestleMania. Oscar remains winless at WrestleMania, which is kind of crazy.
• 2:03:21
  If they're going to keep Jade in a tag team, though, they need
• 2:03:25
  to teach her the rules of tag team wrestling, and that is to make
• 2:03:28
  a legal tag you need to have both your feet on the mat and be
• 2:03:30
  touching the tag ropes. She was doing neither of those things when she tagged
• 2:03:35
  into the match. There was nothing wrong with this. It just kind of
• 2:03:39
  felt more like a SmackDown match than a WrestleMania match to me, And I
• 2:03:45
  don't I feel like all six of these ladies des are better than that.
• 2:03:49
  Not that it was their fault or anything. Nobody nobody's performance lacked. I
• 2:03:54
  didn't think One thing, though, I will say stood out in the crowd
• 2:04:00
  was how loud Bianca's hair whip was. I forget who she hit with it,
• 2:04:05
  but fucking yeah, he was loud, and that was kind of cool
• 2:04:13
  to see, especially because you know, several days before that, we were
• 2:04:17
  in a nice auditorium listening to her talk and she was, you know,
• 2:04:21
  just as nice as could be. Uh, you know, everything you'd expect,
• 2:04:26
  and then some uh, just a fucking awesome, awesome, fucking person.
• 2:04:30
  And it's funny to see her her in that setting and then back here,
• 2:04:35
  you know, where she's aggressive and kicking ass or whatever. Yeah,
• 2:04:41
  I mean you know her, I've you know, set it before her and
• 2:04:45
  back here my favorite one in one ah. So it was always always cool
• 2:04:48
  to see her. But that that that that that whip man was that loud.
• 2:04:55
  Yeah, and it will almost made wonder like there was some sort of
• 2:05:00
  on effects going on in there, because the way that motherfucker resonated in that
• 2:05:03
  damn stadium was like, shit, yeah, that was pretty far because we
• 2:05:11
  heard it all the way back where we were sitting. Yeah, and not
• 2:05:15
  like barely heard it. We heard that was loud and clear. That's why
• 2:05:20
  that's why you heard the whole stateum go oh yeah, like damn definitely impressive.
• 2:05:30
  Yeah, but oh man, I didn't even think about a fabulous freebird
• 2:05:33
  concept for those three. That would be pretty damn dope cool. That would
• 2:05:42
  be super cool, and yeah, I'm I'm here for that. Yeah.
• 2:05:45
  Hopefully w W realizes what they have in those three and they let them cook
• 2:05:53
  for again. If it was up to me, I'd let them cook all
• 2:05:56
  year, let him cook all year, and then next year so you can
• 2:06:00
  do the breakup and then and I know some people were thinking like, eventually
• 2:06:05
  break them up and then do Jade Cargill versus Bianca bel Air when you break
• 2:06:10
  them up, But if it were me, I would do a triple threat
• 2:06:14
  match rather than have them break up and then just cast one of them to
• 2:06:18
  the side. I'll let the two bigger, bigger names be in the match,
• 2:06:21
  have a one v one Let all three of them go at it in
• 2:06:25
  a triple threat match, whether one of them is the champion is defending against
• 2:06:30
  the other two, or if it's just a maybe no title involved and it's
• 2:06:35
  just all three of them in a triple threat match against each other for whatever.
• 2:06:41
  I think, if if you're gonna let all three of them rock for
• 2:06:45
  the year, then the breakup needs to involve all three of them, not
• 2:06:49
  just one of them, not like Biaka and Jade beef and and Naomi has
• 2:06:55
  to pick a side like yeah, no, I agree with you. I'm
• 2:06:59
  I expressed my fears that Naomi would get the short end of the stick here
• 2:07:05
  if this trio continues on just because Beyonca's Bianca and they're gonna push the fucking
• 2:07:13
  to the moon, you know Jade, right, And it just kind of
• 2:07:16
  makes me nervous about what's what's left for Naomi there. It'll be a tough
• 2:07:24
  road to ho I think a fine line to walk, if you will,
• 2:07:27
  m hm. And her as the veteran of the group, I think she
• 2:07:30
  deserves that shine. She deserves to be just as significant a part in the
• 2:07:35
  breakup as Bianca and Jade. So let all three of them be put each
• 2:07:42
  other. Let all three let Naomi be pissed off at Bianca and Jade,
• 2:07:45
  let jd be pissed off at Bianca and Naomi, and let Bianca be pissed
• 2:07:47
  off at Jade and Naomi, and let them all just completely clash with each
• 2:07:53
  other in a triple threat match at WrestleMania forty one. I think that would
• 2:07:59
  be dope and a good way too. I think that could be an excellent
• 2:08:05
  climax to what's happening right now. Any other final thoughts on these three or
• 2:08:15
  this match. Now, I'm good, oh right for damage for the sake
• 2:08:22
  of damage control. Though I do think they remain together. I don't see
• 2:08:24
  any reason to split them up, even with even with even without any goal,
• 2:08:31
  even with or even with EO no longer being ww Women's Champion, I
• 2:08:35
  don't see any reason to break them up. I think they still got plenty
• 2:08:39
  of life left in them. But moving on to the next match, which
• 2:08:45
  featured Gunter defending his Intercontinental Championship against Steven as Sammy Zain. Now, I
• 2:08:58
  don't care. I'm still manuckle, I'm still mad about it. Yeah,
• 2:09:07
  that was the next match, which started off with a really excellent production,
• 2:09:15
  something that we couldn't appreciate watching live, but watching on the replay, you
• 2:09:20
  could absolutely appreciate that phenomenal continuous shot of Sammy's ain in the back getting ready
• 2:09:26
  for the match, having speaking with his wife and kid, saying is you
• 2:09:33
  know goodbye to them before making his waist to the ring, and then encountering
• 2:09:37
  Chad and Chad be like all right, let's go, Like no, you
• 2:09:43
  you've got this. You're not coming with me, you don't need me.
• 2:09:48
  Cheesy as fuck this shiit screamed, goddamn eighties movie cheese. Yeah, specifically
• 2:09:56
  Rocky for all of the cheese. And then him just walking to the ring
• 2:10:03
  and kicking a box for no reason, like, yeah, that was what
• 2:10:07
  did that box do to you? Hiding ship for like why are you so
• 2:10:11
  mad? And then it come around the corner Kevin Owens waiting, which that
• 2:10:16
  was a good, dope moment. That was a dope moment of his buddy
• 2:10:20
  being right there at the last when he meets and give him a hug and
• 2:10:22
  hyping him up and saying let's go. Like that was cool. That was
• 2:10:26
  genuine. That wasn't the cheesy bullshit moment between him and Chad. But then
• 2:10:33
  the whole sequence was cool though, because it was still that one continuous shot,
• 2:10:37
  right and I've been loving them doing that. Yeah that that the shot
• 2:10:39
  itself was great, like you said, following him all the way out,
• 2:10:43
  Yeah, that was absolutely dope as hell. The match yourself, good match,
• 2:10:50
  very good match, brutal as hell good match, which saw Sammy's ay
• 2:10:56
  defeat go to it to the end his reign at six hundred and sixty six
• 2:11:01
  days. I hope somebody said there hill Mary's before that. So yeah,
• 2:11:07
  our new inter continental champion, Sammy's ain. So what do you think about
• 2:11:16
  it, Doyle? I mean, not much for me to criticize here.
• 2:11:22
  This was pretty close to perfect as you can get. I think, you
• 2:11:28
  know, Gun they being obsessed with taunting Sammy's wife worked really well. That
• 2:11:35
  fucking band brought a little bit about Brainbuster on the turnbuckle was fucking awesome.
• 2:11:41
  He pulled out of his out, He pulled that out of his El Generico
• 2:11:45
  days used to do that move. I don't recall him ever doing it in
• 2:11:50
  WWE, So that was cool little throwback if you've been a fan of his
• 2:11:54
  for a long time, and just something I looked fucking brutals fuck, I
• 2:12:01
  remember, I remember that move. It was kind of hard to see what
• 2:12:03
  exactly had gone on. It kind of looked like a botch actually to me
• 2:12:07
  in real time, But man was that it looked great on television. Really.
• 2:12:16
  The only thing I would deduct points from I think is it maybe it
• 2:12:22
  could have taken one more hell of a kick to put Gun through away.
• 2:12:26
  I kind of feel like the finish was just a little touch bit rushed after
• 2:12:31
  Sammy made his big comeback, but I mean, other than that, the
• 2:12:39
  only Yeah, the finish was a little rushed and Sammy couldn't get some pyro
• 2:12:45
  like what the fuck? But this was probably the best match of the weekend
• 2:12:48
  in my opinion. It was really good. Ship. I thought gun Through
• 2:12:54
  I expected gun Through to win, so I was surprised when Sammy did.
• 2:12:58
  I was prize that Sammy and Bailey and Cody all one. I didn't think
• 2:13:03
  all three of them would and I thought that Sammy would be the one that
• 2:13:05
  didn't. Uh so when he did, I kind of made me question what
• 2:13:09
  I thought of the rest of the rest of the card a little bit.
• 2:13:13
  But uh, yeah, this is my favorite match at the year so far.
• 2:13:18
  Yeah, I loved it. Yeah, I would argue this was probably
• 2:13:22
  the second biggest surprise of the whole pay per view, of the whole wrestler
• 2:13:28
  and seeing Sammy defeat Gunter like, yeah, none of us picked it to
• 2:13:33
  happen. We all thought that, oh, guns are about to whoop the
• 2:13:35
  ship out of Sammy. He's gonna beat him. I remember, like I
• 2:13:39
  had pitched the storyline that you know, Chad throws into towel like they do
• 2:13:43
  the whole you know, Drago Rocky fourth thing, you know, where he
• 2:13:48
  just whoops him and you know, make Chad Ga will be Rocky on the
• 2:13:52
  side watching Apollo in the ring get killed. I thought they were going to
• 2:13:56
  go that route, but no, right, I wanted that's just the wife
• 2:14:03
  now, and Chazz was like, huh what No, he decided that Gunterer,
• 2:14:09
  your reign is going on long enough and now as part of our new
• 2:14:13
  era, Samy's A and acottin Dal Champion Wayne, what were your thoughts,
• 2:14:20
  hey, man, I'm right there with you, guys. Uh, when
• 2:14:22
  we were doing over this, I definitely did not think sammy'se A he was
• 2:14:26
  gonna be living or leaving with the Intercottinent title. Uh, you know,
• 2:14:31
  because it was kind of a last minute replacement. You know, we were
• 2:14:35
  expecting brock Listener or maybe braun Breaker or Chad Gable, but instead we got
• 2:14:43
  Sammy's A and uh to everybody's fucking surprise. Like he ended the six hundred
• 2:14:50
  and sixty six day rain ah and last year he ended the longest tag team.
• 2:14:58
  Yeah. Yeah, so two really good wrestling he wins for Sammy back
• 2:15:03
  to back. Uh So I'm really happy for him. I enjoyed the hell
• 2:15:07
  out of this match. It's like fifteen minutes long, a little fifteen minutes
• 2:15:11
  and a half. Uh. We saw Gunther do a Hollova kick that was
• 2:15:16
  cool. Oh man, uh Doyle, I agree. It seemed like a
• 2:15:22
  rushed, kind of weak finish, you know, considering all the attempts to
• 2:15:31
  put Gunther away, the lengths that people have gone to to put him away,
• 2:15:35
  and what he has kicked out from. So I was kind of expecting
• 2:15:39
  Sammy made his comeback and it was over. Yeah. Yeah, that's what
• 2:15:43
  I mean. Like, moment he did he hold up, but yeah,
• 2:15:54
  that's what you want to call flopping around on the fucking ring. What is
• 2:16:00
  that? What is that? Like, Jesus Christ, Sammy? Uh yeah,
• 2:16:05
  dude. Like, I can't say that I wanted this match to go
• 2:16:11
  longer. I just wish it had a better ending to it. Uh.
• 2:16:16
  You know. Now I know for sure Gunter, especially after the draft.
• 2:16:22
  I think after the draft, we'll see Gunter start heading for a heavyweight title
• 2:16:28
  of some kind, whether it's the w W or the world title. I
• 2:16:31
  think his days of chasing the icy title are gone. I think he's moving
• 2:16:37
  on the bigger and better things. Uh yeah, eventually you have a time
• 2:16:43
  he he earned. If he wants to take like a month off, he
• 2:16:48
  has earned it. I think that'd be I'd be perfectly fine with that.
• 2:16:54
  A good place prediction, now, yeah, go for it, Summer Slam.
• 2:17:03
  Excuse me, Cody Rose versus Gunter. It's not a bad idea.
• 2:17:09
  They don't ever bring brock pack. I can't not a bad idea, but
• 2:17:15
  yeah, yeah, short short of Brock doesn't coming back because I mean,
• 2:17:18
  at this point, there really isn't anything for Gunster to do but pursue the
• 2:17:24
  world title. But they're not gonna do that. I don't see them doing
• 2:17:28
  that at any lesser pay, any pay per view, lesser than a Big
• 2:17:31
  Four review. So the next one up would be Summer Slam, and they
• 2:17:37
  just got a five times Berlin pay per view coming up. They could,
• 2:17:45
  yeah, they could go clash at the Castle, which is in Berlin,
• 2:17:48
  but I think that's Classics. Is something else that's in that's in Scotland.
• 2:17:54
  Actually, Uh, it's a couple of weeks after some Slam isn't SmackDown in
• 2:18:01
  France this weekend that isn't SmackDown is supposed to be in France this week or
• 2:18:09
  is that the week before the go home show for Backlash, which okay,
• 2:18:16
  yeah, right right, and they're actually gonna do it in Shoudy ahead of
• 2:18:20
  the King and Queen of the Ring whenever that is coming up in Yeah,
• 2:18:24
  for people who don't know the first time they're going to do SmackDown. Yeah,
• 2:18:28
  for people who don't know, because I know they won't show it on
• 2:18:31
  TV. But whenever anything was advertised for Saudi, the crowd boo the ship
• 2:18:39
  out of it. So if you're starting to believe that, oh yeah,
• 2:18:43
  w W crowd loves the fact that they go to Saudi. No, we
• 2:18:48
  do not. We fucking hate it. We get ship, we get fantasy
• 2:18:54
  matches, We have to watch the pay per view an odd fucking time.
• 2:19:01
  There are always meaningless feuds and matches that mean nothing afterwards. I hate anything
• 2:19:09
  that they have to do with for the Saudi, all that blood money.
• 2:19:13
  Well, yeah, that's that's the issue. It's not it's not so much
• 2:19:16
  the time change, it's the their leader is a murderer. That's kind of
• 2:19:22
  the problem. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, you're right, Yeah,
• 2:19:26
  Bash in Berlin is right after Summer's right, Yeah, like literally the same
• 2:19:33
  month is at the end of August where summer starts, and Queen of the
• 2:19:37
  Ring that June. Uh, King and Queen of the Ring. Huh oh.
• 2:19:43
  The website I'm on doesn't show it, but obviously they clearly announced it.
• 2:19:48
  Yea, it might be June, but kind of weird. Could clash
• 2:19:52
  into castles June fifteenth, and then the money in the bank is July.
• 2:19:58
  So whenn't May at the end of May, so it be backlash than King
• 2:20:03
  and Queen of the Ring, he says in June. Damn yo, I'm
• 2:20:13
  just looking at the next w W doesn't have another p l E in the
• 2:20:16
  States until Summer Slam, and they did that last year they were out.
• 2:20:22
  They had there was like four or five in a row last year, backlashes
• 2:20:26
  in France. Money in the scott Scotland, Yeah in Scotland, King of
• 2:20:33
  the Ring, Yeah, money in the bank is in Canada. King of
• 2:20:35
  the Ring is in Saudi Arabia, and then yes, in Cleveland, and
• 2:20:43
  then right back overseas for Bashton Berlin, and then I don't know if we
• 2:20:48
  know anything past that. I don't think we do. No, I don't
• 2:20:50
  see anything announced aff posts well, after Bash in Berlin. So the honestly,
• 2:20:56
  that kind of reinforces to me a little bit more than that we might
• 2:21:01
  get go to versus Cody a SummerSlam, I can see. I think Gunter
• 2:21:07
  will either win a title there or go into it already as champion, Right,
• 2:21:11
  That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking Cody might get dethroned at SummerSlam by
• 2:21:18
  Gunter and then Golterer goes into the Bash of Berlin. Maybe it's a rematch
• 2:21:24
  with Cody, or maybe he defends against someone else, or who knows.
• 2:21:30
  I could I could see it, I could see. I know some people
• 2:21:33
  don't want to see that. Like, you know, we've had this long
• 2:21:37
  ass run that you know that Roman just had for three years, and we
• 2:21:41
  had golt have this run for you know, a year and a half,
• 2:21:46
  almost two years. Are we about to have the guy? You know,
• 2:21:50
  Seth had had the world at weight championship for nearly a year. Ray has
• 2:21:54
  had it over a year. Yeah, Riyes, had the woman her title
• 2:21:58
  for her title. Rains is a year now in to make in the running.
• 2:22:03
  So yeah, are we about to have Cody just go for six months
• 2:22:09
  or not even six April August for a four month run seems kind of shocking,
• 2:22:15
  but I wouldn't rule it out. No, nor any other thoughts on
• 2:22:22
  the uh in the match or the future of Sammy's or a gunter. I'm
• 2:22:28
  ready for them. Where does Sammy zon go from? Here? Is in
• 2:22:31
  ic champ Like obviously now we know he's We know he's defending against Chad Gable
• 2:22:37
  next week on overaw in Canada, which seems like such a fucking setup for
• 2:22:43
  he'll turn Chad Gable. Like it's in Canada, sammy'se is gonna be over
• 2:22:50
  as fuck. They're already gonna boo. They're probably gonna boot Chad Gable just
• 2:22:54
  because he ain't Sammy z Ain. It seems prime a good pot to turn
• 2:23:00
  them for sure. Yeah, it seems almost telegraphed. Yeah, I agree,
• 2:23:07
  man. We'll see how they go though. But final match of the
• 2:23:13
  night main event World Heavyweight Champion Seth Freaking Rollins and Cody Rhodes taking on the
• 2:23:24
  Bloodline and the form of Roman Reigns and the Final Boss the Rock, with
• 2:23:33
  the stipulation that the winner of the match determines the outcome of the main event
• 2:23:39
  for Sunday. Bloodline rules or regular old one v one Gee, I wonder
• 2:23:46
  how that's gonna go check off though, huh, I said, it's like
• 2:23:54
  check off stipulation. You mentioned it, It's gonna happen right. The match
• 2:24:01
  itself, though, was a good match to me. This was the I
• 2:24:05
  like this match the best of the night, even with watching the replay.
• 2:24:09
  As much as I liked the much as good as this Sammy's Ain't Gulter match
• 2:24:13
  was, which it was good, it had the drama that the Jay and
• 2:24:15
  Jimmy match was missing. But overall still I think I liked this match more
• 2:24:20
  the most of the night. I mean, it had all the hype,
• 2:24:24
  it had all the energy behind it. We were here for even live.
• 2:24:28
  We were all hype as well for that, you know, seeing Rock finally
• 2:24:35
  get tagged into the match and seth just right like the moment the Rock stuck
• 2:24:39
  his hand out to be tagged in, everybody in the arena started getting the
• 2:24:43
  hype and cheering and shit and even the reactions period. Like the Rock,
• 2:24:50
  he had a pretty, i think, in my opinion, a little excessively
• 2:24:54
  drawn out entrance before we finally got the if you smell. But for all
• 2:25:01
  that, the moment you heard if just smell everybody cheer. People totally forgot
• 2:25:07
  he was a fucking heel and they cheered his ass off because it's the fucking
• 2:25:09
  Rock. Huh. And yeah, like we touched on before some moments that
• 2:25:16
  you picked up in the match yourself that weren't picked up on, and I
• 2:25:22
  mean they were picked up on the replay that we didn't pick up on watching
• 2:25:24
  it live. Was like the Rock telling the referee you know, if you
• 2:25:28
  count, you're fired. Yeah, Like that was a fucking that was a
• 2:25:31
  cold ass moment, Like and they didn't edit out as cussing either, Like
• 2:25:37
  even on the replay that he said, like, if you count, you're
• 2:25:41
  fired. You know, the Rock, I don't fuck around. You count,
• 2:25:43
  you're fired. I was like, oh shit, okay, referee,
• 2:25:48
  you just sit your ass in that little corner and wait to count the three
• 2:25:50
  day little buddy. And he also is apologizing at times too. Yeah,
• 2:25:56
  he's apologizing and Cody like, dude, you want me to do like you'm
• 2:26:03
  a boy, but I got bills to pay. I ain't getting fired for
• 2:26:05
  you. Yeah. I mean, like we kind of all saw this match
• 2:26:11
  going this way roughly, right, I mean, there was really no other
• 2:26:16
  proper outcome. I mean, I thought going into this it was very much
• 2:26:20
  feeling like Infinity War, like where the good guys have to lose the first
• 2:26:26
  half of the first movie, you know, and so they can win the
• 2:26:31
  big movie, the end Game, which we'll get tomorrow. I dude,
• 2:26:37
  I enjoyed the hell of this match. I love seeing the Rock in person.
• 2:26:41
  The entrance, his entrance was the shit a dude. I must have
• 2:26:46
  heard Cody Rhodes the music like thirty times since WrestleMania, Like, it's ridiculous
• 2:26:52
  everywhere I fucking go, I hear it. It's driving me nuts. Dude.
• 2:26:58
  We got like a good I feel like between the two nights we probably
• 2:27:01
  got good twenty minutes of just that fucking thing. Dude. Yeah, yes,
• 2:27:07
  yes, absolutely, but uh yeah, dude, I enjoyed this shit
• 2:27:15
  out of this match. It's good to see the Rock go still at his
• 2:27:18
  age and to go well. I mean, it's not a singles match,
• 2:27:24
  it's a tag match, but you know, I'm so glad for him to
• 2:27:28
  be a part of it. You know, there's many guys, No,
• 2:27:31
  there's definitely, I mean, think about it, guys, like there's not
• 2:27:35
  many people left from the Attitude era. Who can still get in the ring
• 2:27:39
  and take pumps. You know he does not, Yeah, exactly. There's
• 2:27:48
  not many guys from that time period who can take pumps like he did,
• 2:27:52
  you know, or you know, isn't a high caliber kind of match like
• 2:27:56
  that? Uh? I mean you like I I went home like satisfied,
• 2:28:03
  happy. You know, it was like seeing the rock and rumand Rains at
• 2:28:09
  that top of that ramp holding two titles, you know, even one was
• 2:28:15
  like from the Hall of Fame, but like still just that badass fucking image
• 2:28:18
  of them, you know, holding those titles but looking like a modern power
• 2:28:26
  a modern power trip. Yeah, dude, and Cody just sitting in that
• 2:28:30
  rain, just realizing that, like now he's gonna have everything to fight against
• 2:28:35
  to get that title. And you know, like even Cole said like there
• 2:28:39
  is no title this year. Like he's like he even like, oh,
• 2:28:43
  there's no way there's no title this year. His chances are gone. I'm
• 2:28:48
  like, dude, Cole, chill out, dude, like have some faith
• 2:28:50
  you fuck her? But no, I forty four minutes, forty almost forty
• 2:28:58
  five minutes, Holy shit, I don't. I think that's mostly all entrances,
• 2:29:03
  to be honest, you know who. That's because that's a long fucking
• 2:29:09
  match. Like, what was that the longest match of the of both nights
• 2:29:13
  longer? Yeah, the longest match of both nights. And yeah, you
• 2:29:16
  could probably attribute some of that to the to the entrances themselves, but I
• 2:29:22
  will say watching it live, it didn't feel that long. Watching it the
• 2:29:28
  replay, yeah felt that long. Well, it felt that long as it
• 2:29:31
  was that long. You guys are trying to include the replace the rather the
• 2:29:35
  entrances, it's that does not include the entrances between the recap. Between the
• 2:29:39
  recap video and the entrances, that was twenty five minutes, and then the
• 2:29:43
  match after that was forty five over an hour for the whole second so that
• 2:29:48
  one of the match, the whole match was forty five minutes. Wow,
• 2:29:52
  yeah, that's crazy. Like but from that from the minute the recap video
• 2:29:56
  started until the final bell was over for an hour, so like the Rock
• 2:30:03
  centerance thought was cool by the way, oh yeah, and uh uh credit
• 2:30:09
  which again he looked Yeah, he looked way better than I thought he was
• 2:30:13
  gonna But forty five minutes for this, I'm sorry, Like, as a
• 2:30:16
  general rule, if you can cut twenty minutes out of a match it's and
• 2:30:20
  it's still about a half an hour long, and you would have missed absolutely
• 2:30:24
  nothing. The match is too long, you know, Like the last ten
• 2:30:28
  minutes of this were fucking awesome, right when when Roman hit Rock with that
• 2:30:31
  spear, which I assume we're going to get a receipt for that someday,
• 2:30:37
  squirrel that away in the back here of mine. For however many months to
• 2:30:41
  up to a year after that. It was great, but like the first
• 2:30:46
  half hour was fucking useless, like nothing happened, and we talked about,
• 2:30:52
  you know, the Rock threatening the ref, how we had no idea about
• 2:30:56
  it while we were watching it in real life. Yeah, I remember us
• 2:31:01
  going like when when did this become no DQ? What the fuck is going
• 2:31:05
  on? You know, I kind of had an idea it might have played
• 2:31:11
  better live if they had had Samantha Irvin like announce the match is now no
• 2:31:16
  DQ or whatever, you know, Like I feel like Vince used to do
• 2:31:18
  that sometimes, like the guy we get counted out, No, no,
• 2:31:22
  no, it's it's not it's not no count Yeah, grab and changed it
• 2:31:26
  on the fly. Yeah, Like I thought that might have been, like,
• 2:31:30
  you know, hindsight's twenty twenty. I thought that might have been a
• 2:31:33
  cool thing. Cody and Sets could have kept winning. You know, they
• 2:31:35
  count out the rock and Rockers. No, no, no, it's no
• 2:31:37
  count out now. Okay, the matches restarted, it's no count No,
• 2:31:41
  it's no DQ now or what you know? Oh you can't pin in hum
• 2:31:43
  three it has to be five and whatever it is, just keep changing the
• 2:31:46
  rules. I thought that would have played better than this did. Not that
• 2:31:50
  it was bad, Like I said, the last ten to fifteen minutes was
• 2:31:54
  great, but it was just so much fucking bullshit before that. So yeah,
• 2:32:00
  I think I think he could have paired this down a good amount,
• 2:32:03
  get fifteen minutes out of it. It's still half an hour. It's still
• 2:32:07
  a long time, and especially with the fucking crowd being frozen and it already
• 2:32:11
  even a long night. You know, sometimes less is more. It seemed
• 2:32:16
  like they got that message for almost all the rest of the card, and
• 2:32:20
  then they just forgot it around ten o'clock at night, I guess or something.
• 2:32:26
  It was still good. It was to see the rock I cannot say
• 2:32:31
  it again. He looked so much better than I thought he was gonna.
• 2:32:33
  I thought part of the reason they were doing a tag match because they wanted
• 2:32:37
  him in the ring, but they didn't want him to do much and that
• 2:32:41
  turned out to be completely wrong. Hen say, you can tell he definitely
• 2:32:48
  was. He definitely puts some work in. I think, yeah. I
• 2:32:50
  mean after the stories about how he had a ring in LA and a ring
• 2:32:54
  in New York and he was flying NXT people in I guess Gallas. Is
• 2:33:01
  that a tag team? I think they were training with him, So yeah,
• 2:33:05
  he really you know, but you know, you have the luxury when
• 2:33:09
  you're not a full time guy, and Logan Paul I say the same thing
• 2:33:11
  about all of them. When you have the luxury to focus on one match
• 2:33:15
  for however many weeks and or months, it's a lot easier than when you
• 2:33:18
  have to do it every night, or in Seth Rollins's case, in Cody's
• 2:33:22
  case, twice in a row. Agreed, But I think it's also him
• 2:33:26
  being very self aware as well, Like I'm pretty sure he knew or it
• 2:33:33
  real least saw how he came across on TV and some of these other appearances
• 2:33:37
  where he was just doing the bare minimum physicality and then getting on the mic
• 2:33:43
  and sounding completely winded. I think he was aware, like I said to
• 2:33:46
  himself that okay, I damn sure got to get my conditioning up. And
• 2:33:52
  also just him being a veteran of the business, like he knows what it
• 2:33:54
  takes for this match, He knows what expectation is of him. He knows
• 2:34:01
  he can't just go out there and be the rock and phone it in.
• 2:34:03
  Oh yeah, all right, you guys do all the work and I'll just
• 2:34:07
  I'll just come in do some of MS signature stuff and and that'll be good
• 2:34:11
  enough. Like he he knows, he's he's it's the benefit of him coming
• 2:34:16
  from that old school trade and he's got more at stake now than he's ever
• 2:34:20
  had. Certainly he's on the board now, you know, I think he
• 2:34:24
  what do they say, his his his stock bonus was worth nine and a
• 2:34:30
  half million or something for performing and WrestleMania nine million, which is yeah,
• 2:34:35
  hell, heya, right, But when you're putting, uh, when you're
• 2:34:39
  putting fourteen or one hundred and forty thousand people and you know, seat every
• 2:34:46
  eighteen inches, you know, maybe you're worth that sure, sure, And
• 2:34:50
  I think and maybe I'm giving him a little too much credit, but I
• 2:34:54
  think his own pride was like, yeah, if I'm gonna do a match,
• 2:34:58
  I'm not about to go out there and half ass like I'm gonna make
• 2:35:01
  sure that I am at my best, especially when you're in the ring with
• 2:35:05
  you know, people the caliber, with Cody Rose and a seth Rollins,
• 2:35:09
  or even if you're looking at your brother and you watch, I mean at
• 2:35:11
  your brother, you're looking at your cousin Roman, and you watch this motherfucker
• 2:35:15
  slim down and ship and all of a sudden he got a six pack in
• 2:35:16
  pex nowhere. It's like, yeah, all that talk that people were having
• 2:35:22
  about Roman raised, like, oh, Roman raised looking small, Roman rays
• 2:35:24
  looking skinny? Is this leukemia back? Is this editor y'all can shut the
• 2:35:30
  whole fuck up because Roman came out there flexing speaking of McAfee just casually dropped
• 2:35:37
  that un commentary said something about Roman is currently going through leukemia treatment or something,
• 2:35:43
  and then they didn't say a word about it. I haven't heard anything
• 2:35:46
  about Like, was that not Was that something he wasn't supposed to say?
• 2:35:50
  He said lukemia treatment, Did he say he was still Did they say he
• 2:35:54
  was battling leukemia still? I think he said battling. I have it here,
• 2:35:58
  I have the audio clip. I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna pull
• 2:36:00
  it up here in a second. You guys keep talking. Yeah, because
• 2:36:03
  I picked up on it. I'm like, Okay, is he just saying
• 2:36:05
  that because it's in remission, So technically he's still battling it even if it's
• 2:36:11
  in remission or what. But yeah, let me wait a million bucks when
• 2:36:16
  he came out. Yeah, let me try playing it off my phone,
• 2:36:20
  see if I can get it here. James from grew in the position him
• 2:36:28
  congratulations on tonight. Pat McAfee on commentary tonight said you are currently suffering with
• 2:36:35
  leukemia, and I was wondering if you could clarify that. I know your
• 2:36:39
  health issues in the past, but can you build them What he was referring
• 2:36:43
  to there, Well, I'm still on oral chemotherapy. It's a medication that
• 2:36:46
  I'm going to have to remain on my entire life most likely. So yeah,
• 2:36:52
  that's just a part of my personal battle. It doesn't affect Thank god,
• 2:36:58
  it allowed I'm still able to perform. I think anybody in my position
• 2:37:03
  would say health is wealth, and as long as I can continue to perform,
• 2:37:11
  then you already know that that's at base. So we're good, and
• 2:37:13
  we're still in remission, but it is something that is still a part of
• 2:37:16
  my life. Yeah, that's that's hard to hear. And that was Joe
• 2:37:22
  not not I think, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
• 2:37:26
  Could they brought that up because I remember I saved that clip today when
• 2:37:30
  I saw that. But yeah, so, I mean good from the shedding
• 2:37:33
  light on that, and you know, part of him probably part of his
• 2:37:37
  new look, maybe you know, just taking better care of himself to help
• 2:37:41
  him just be stronger in that in that fight and that maybe he saw himself
• 2:37:48
  on TV. It was like, man, I'm looking a little soft out
• 2:37:50
  there, looking like I think, got a little lax with it. All
• 2:37:54
  right, get back right with y'all for you for wrestlemedia. I don't know,
• 2:37:58
  I just never thought that. I just thought he was says he came
• 2:38:01
  back. In general, he's been big, bigger, but uh, I
• 2:38:05
  didn't think he slimmed down him. Maybe I just don't know, just didn't
• 2:38:07
  pay attention to it. Yeah, go back and look at go back and
• 2:38:11
  watch him in the previous back and watch him from the Rumble this year.
• 2:38:16
  Okay, okay, yeah, watch or watch him at uh, what's the
• 2:38:22
  last one he worked before that, So why did he work so have a
• 2:38:26
  series? I think so, No, I don't remember. I don't Yeah,
• 2:38:35
  yeah, no, I don't. Yeah. But either way, just
• 2:38:39
  if you go back and look at some of the last few matches he worked
• 2:38:41
  and stuff and look at him then and then compare those time he looked at
• 2:38:45
  wrestle media. Oh no, brother was putting there work. He was,
• 2:38:50
  he's I ain't saying he bulked up, but he damned show slimmed down and
• 2:38:54
  probably maybe he added a little bit more muscle, but damn show slimmed up
• 2:38:58
  because yeah, abs and pecs, shoulder, Yeah, he hit the gym
• 2:39:09
  freaking hard at the very least this year. Like I said, that's why
• 2:39:16
  people were like looking at him on TV and the build up to Rustlemania,
• 2:39:18
  and people were thought he was like looking smaller, like he had lost weight,
• 2:39:22
  which you know, obviously we can't see what's going on underneaf because he's
• 2:39:26
  out there in the hoodie. But motherfucker showed him at their results this weekend.
• 2:39:28
  Ship. I was inspired. I'm like, okay, stop bullshitting me
• 2:39:33
  in the gym, get my ship together. Any other final thoughts on the
• 2:39:43
  main event match, No, I'm pretty good. I think my uh my
• 2:39:48
  voice has met its limit, and uh yeah, I think I'm pretty good
• 2:39:52
  dude. So yeah, I guess that covers the gist of everything on match
• 2:39:58
  on match, all night night Again, compared the night to this was very
• 2:40:03
  much a muted seemed very muted compared to night too like, not as much
• 2:40:09
  pyro this night. The matches were so so too good with a couple of
• 2:40:15
  really good ones, and the crowd was just so much was it was so
• 2:40:20
  much cold at night one. Yeah, and weather definitely affected the crowd.
• 2:40:26
  Complained that the crowd sounded dead like yeah, like the crowd was dead like
• 2:40:30
  to us in the stadium, we thought we sounded great. We were definitely
• 2:40:35
  fucking cold. It was its ship. One thing I will say about the
• 2:40:41
  card as a whole, or the event as a whole, it was a
• 2:40:46
  lot more serious than WrestleMania's usually are. There wasn't a whole lot of other
• 2:40:50
  bullshit, you know. There was no wacky backstage segment or even wacky in
• 2:40:56
  ring segment. There wasn't Pete was getting you know, choke slam by Caine.
• 2:41:03
  But it wasn't any of that nonsense. That almost the WrestleMania almost always
• 2:41:07
  had getting stuck in the mouse trap. Yeah, exactly, and in fact
• 2:41:13
  kind of a hallmark of WrestleMania, and maybe that speaks to the new era
• 2:41:18
  and part of it. I don't know, but yeah, I mean Night
• 2:41:28
  two was that was definitely more fun than Night one. Yeah, between better
• 2:41:31
  weather, much more surprises. I think the overall card on Night two was
• 2:41:37
  better than Night one. Like Night two really kind of only had maybe one
• 2:41:45
  match that would consider to be a somewhat of a dud. Other than that,
• 2:41:50
  I think damn every match on Knight two was like good to great other
• 2:41:56
  than one match, which again we'll say that for next Yeah, anytime I
• 2:42:05
  want to bring us home Wayne, Yeah, uh, tre you got anything
