125 00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:58,500 I didn't see the move and I was like, oh, wow, now I'm going to really watch WrestleMania. 126 00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:04,500 I don't think it about it as in depth as probably most passionate, more passionate wrestling fans, I guess. 127 00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:07,500 I don't think he needed to be added to the storyline. 128 00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,500 I think there was enough there for it to grow and I think it's been pretty good. 129 00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:12,500 I would like to see the payoff be a little bit more. 130 00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:17,500 I do agree with Cody Rhodes's promo where it's, I had a similar reaction. 131 00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:21,500 It's like imagine if Hall and Nash came out and the third man was the disco in Ferno. 132 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:24,500 I was like, I had a similar, I'm like, that's wow. 133 00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:31,500 That's where they went, Pat McAfee, nothing more impactful because I think if it's Owens, if it's the rock, if it's somebody that's like a wrestler. 134 00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:35,500 And I know he's had his matches, Pat and I appreciate what he's put into the business. 135 00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:37,500 I like him as a commentator. 136 00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:43,500 Then I think the reactions probably a little bit different to the entire thing and it makes sense. 137 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:46,500 His involvement doesn't make sense. 138 00:07:46,500 --> 00:08:00,500 Then you hear the reports of like TKO is doing this because I don't know, Morse, Synergy, Celebrity, Interactions and then you take a step back and you look at the grand scheme of the WrestleMania card and somebody put out online. 139 00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:12,500 I thought it was hilarious of that promo shot of who is a triple H with like punk, reigned, Cody Rhodes, maybe Seth Rollins. 140 00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:15,500 I forget who was in the fourth person. 141 00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:23,500 Yes. And then also at the poker table and somebody changed it to like jelly roll, Pat McAfee, I show speed. 142 00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:26,500 And is there another Saliliyadi? 143 00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:29,500 Little Yadi, yes, that's who they'll stick with in there. 144 00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:30,500 And it was classic. 145 00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:33,500 Highly recommend to go out there and find it. 146 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:40,500 Yeah, real quick. I mean Cody Rhodes, these are go get Paul Feinbaum to be in his ring side. 147 00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:52,500 I mean, it's, I understand, you know, you want to have Synergy, but WWE ratings are probably higher than McAfee show in the grand scheme of things. 148 00:08:52,500 --> 00:09:01,500 I know they get like they track podcasts, downloads separately from, you know, show viewership and they kind of give you like this combined. 149 00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:04,500 Oh, he gets like 15 million views a day. 150 00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:11,500 I was like, well, if you get some of those people are listening to both, but I really just don't understand. 151 00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:17,500 Like you just mentioned four people, four celebrity involvements. 152 00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:20,500 I really, I know jelly roll and I know Pat. 153 00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:24,500 I don't really know little Yadi. I don't know high show speed. 154 00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:28,500 This is probably that trend where they always say they want to capture the younger demographic. 155 00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:34,500 We're kind of showing our age here and almost aging ourselves out of the WWE demographic, I guess. 156 00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:39,500 No, we certainly are. And then more on the entire synergy, big picture here. 157 00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:45,500 So per body slam net TKOC's Pat McAfee is a mainstream star who elevates programs. 158 00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:49,500 The goal, at visibility, drive ticket sales and expand audience. 159 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:55,500 And then it's especially important to them with WrestleMania returning to Las Vegas in the ticket prices, which I'll talk about here in just a bit. 160 00:09:55,500 --> 00:10:00,500 So more again on mainstream star who helps elevate programs. It's the old adage from WWE. 161 00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:07,500 I've never agreed with it. I appreciate when celebrities like earn their keep like Pat McAfee in the past and bad bunny. 162 00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:12,500 But to just like shoehorn the show with celebrities like this one is is not my favorite. 163 00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,500 It has led to reported by behind the scenes tension. 164 00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:24,500 So McAfee Smackdown promo was reportedly completely off script that led directly to Cody Rhodes cutting his own follow up promo later in the night. 165 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:29,500 Cody was told to quote go out and speak freely about Pat McAfee and TKO. 166 00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:37,500 It suggests real frustration behind the scenes. It's been an ongoing issue where talent and creative reportedly feel frustrated with TKO. 167 00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:43,500 Adding them adding things into storylines close to WrestleMania. And now this has happened multiple years in a row. 168 00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:49,500 The most recent was the Travis Scott stuff that made absolutely no sense last year and did take away from the Cody. 169 00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:57,500 And seeing a match and some people may even add like the rock basically shoehorning them sort of stuff back into WrestleMania 40. 170 00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:06,500 But I always will say that I felt like they did a great job making turning that shit into an amazing salad at the end of the day. 171 00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:10,500 So it's now multiple WrestleMania is in a row here. 172 00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:21,500 Punx promo on raw there were bullet points where he spoke freely about McAfee calling him McAfee and talking about TKO subtly as well. 173 00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:27,500 Is it real is it fake? It's the common question of world wrestling entertainment professional wrestling as a whole. 174 00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:38,500 So we're seeing the behind the scenes tension elevate and bubble up your doctor try. Do you feel like this is an actual problem or one that we're being worked on? 175 00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:55,500 So I if you remember I brought this up a couple times I've heard Cody say this that you know with with the shows like you know was unreal and seeing the behind the scenes stuff that the best way now is to work the work in a sense and 176 00:11:55,500 --> 00:12:05,500 really you know leak stuff out that you want to get out there to make it feel like it's a shoe but in reality you're still kind of working folks. 177 00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:17,500 I do I think everybody kind of knew what was going on and that this is a way to kind of create some false sense of tension to kind of increase. 178 00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:41,500 You know people's attention to what's going on I'm sure there is some stuff behind the scenes that people aren't real like this is a main event match I mean this is you know 15 20 years of history between Cody Rose and rain Jordan bubbling up in WrestleMania this is a dream match you talked about six eight nine months ago that if they can pull it off would be great. 179 00:12:41,500 --> 00:13:10,500 But to put somebody else into the mix that is unnecessary is kind of a shot at the people performing this match you almost feel like WWE and TK well especially TK I was saying that hey Randy and Cody can carry this on their own we need to involve a celebrity so I'm sure there is some real life tension and just mistrust in the system but for all intensive purposes I don't think anything goes on TV. 180 00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:21,500 Without people kind of knowing ahead of time what's going to happen so I just I kind of feel like they're they're kind of working the shoot so to speak. 181 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:27,500 Yeah that's my concern is that this is something they pops up on WWE Unreal over the summer or like next fall. 182 00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:56,500 It's like you always have to think about that in the back of your mind now is a wrestling fan like are they just doing this to to make it a WWE Unreal storyline and it's very well possible that it could be like strum it up a little bit people are pissed off this is the WWE versus the machine can we cultivate all this stuff and if it's legitimately real then these are some pretty disgruntled superstars wrestlers in WWE that have a very high marking and does that mean that it's not a good environment to work at work in right now. 183 00:13:56,500 --> 00:14:25,500 I think to kind of like summarize everything that's taken place over the last seven days or so is I don't I liked the Pat McAfee promo I don't need Pat McAfee to be part of this storyline I do always I'm up into the belief of let's see how things play out and if this is entertaining to me and I mean there's no way that we as fans WWE is not listening to our podcast they're not reading your tweets they're not going to be a real bad thing. 184 00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:54,500 They're not reading your tweets they're aware of your tweets they may be aware of our podcast they they will do what they need to do and they look at it as the way of how they're entertaining us and that's at the end of the day we could talk about it we could pick it apart we could shit on it we may not people may not tune into it or they may tune into it ultimately I always believe in giving something a chance and I do think it's a little bit of a short window right now for me to completely crap all on it my initial thoughts are I like the promo I like that there's fire from K.R. 185 00:14:54,500 --> 00:15:07,500 I like that there's fire from Cody like that there's fire from CM Punk it's got my me interested did Pat McAfee need to be added to the storyline absolutely fucking not so that's where we are at right now Dr. Try. 186 00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:15,500 Yeah if you if I just don't I mean do you know what this kind of reminds me of yeah go ahead what East ECW on TN. 187 00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:44,500 Yeah yeah yeah yeah and it kind of is kind of feeling a little bit like it's the company against the corporation in a sense is like because you don't get the fire off this many shots at the higher ups that sign your paychecks unless there's some kind of you know nudge nudge wink wink thing in the system and it kind of feels like you know we always talk about like nothing is original and wrestling it's always kind of spins and I'm like 188 00:15:44,500 --> 00:16:13,500 Hey we're in a position right now where WWE has been kind of the monopoly the juggernaut in professional wrestling but now they're under the umbrella of a bigger juggernaut and in a way you could actually kind of play this off like hey you are our corporate overlords are forcing our hands with this and you could kind of play that angle and just kind of felt like I remember that Paul Heyman promo to kick off you know ECW one night where he's like this is a shoot and you know he started to play this off like a lot of things like that. 189 00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:42,500 You know he starts going off on TN and you're like how the hell they letting this on TV he's just bearing the company kind of feeling the same way is like if you got Cody and C. I'm punk taking shots at the guy who owns TKO he kind of has to be made aware that this is going to go on because that kind of like that kind of messes with his professional reputation and could harm business if he's not in on what they're saying so just don't on me that just kind of remind me of that angle. 190 00:16:42,500 --> 00:17:11,500 You know there's a lot of this I mean AW did this with you know the war with WWE everybody likes to you know rally the troops and revolutionize engage the audience make him feel like they're part of the team and this is who we're fighting for right now and you're seeing that you're seeing that happen and you wonder if it's coordinated which a lot of wrestling is folks or if it's legitimate this is creative like revolting on the company of TKO right now and could this be a storyline in a month or two months time. 191 00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:23,500 Where it's like the fans versus TKO which would be insanely weird but here we are I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and quite honestly folks we have no choice we're going to see it play out. 192 00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:37,500 You know it's very rare that WWE sees a reaction go we got to cancel this and go a different different way there's no way they come on on Friday and if they do I'll talk about a next week show obviously and they say hey the whole pack of the thing was a mistake by us and we're moving forward in a different direction. 193 00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:57,500 So we shall see one thing that has been talked about Dr. Trey during this entire thing as well I think Mac if he brought it up I don't know if Cody did punk definitely did is fan and ticket price concerned so WWE and TKO are fully aware of fan backlash over rising ticket price is something you and I talked about here in recent months. 194 00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:26,500 Multiple top talents are reportedly pushing for lower ticket prices and they're concerned that die hard fans are getting price out which is absolutely true talent wants crowds that reflect the core fan base and not just premium buyers it's the classic I'm Yankee fan the inner circle of Yankee stadium and I don't mean like inner circle as a fan base but the inner circle of the actual stadium is seats that are over 500 600 700 800 dollars and their businesses and they don't reflect the general core fan bases that are out there they are. 195 00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:55,500 They are doing the premium buyers as a Yankee organization and you're seeing that out with WWE I looked at ticket prices for WrestleMania I've looked at ticket prices for AW and I mean the difference between the both of them is insane like AW is much more affordable product and you're starting to see attendance in AW especially these Canada shows increase which is great for them I'm happy for them and it's I think it's a reflection of I could take my family of 4 3 2 whatever to wrestling show and we can enjoy a wrestler. 196 00:18:55,500 --> 00:19:05,500 And we can enjoy wrestling show as a family WWE is not a wrestling fan show a wrestling fan show or family friendly show right now when it comes to ticket prices. 197 00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:17,500 It's crazy how much they're going for Dr. Tray and I'm glad this is being discussed and it seems like the ticket prices are going to be lowered soon which is the right thing to do I mean they got way too greedy based on how hot the WWE was at that point. 198 00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:46,500 No you're absolutely right like I haven't taken Sammy Franklin to any kind of pro wrestling show since he's been born I mean it's just the price of it is just so crazy like I was actually trying to pull it up to see because AEW is coming to Huntsville in May so I was just trying to take a look at it so 60 bucks for two tickets you know for collision like you know me and say we could afford that we could go to the WWE. 199 00:19:46,500 --> 00:20:15,500 I mean for a WWE should the last one I saw coming to the area was I think in February was in Birmingham and it was 150 bucks a ticket just for even like the nosebleed seats and it's like you're just pricing your core fan base out of the market and then you wonder why when when guys aren't getting the reactions that you thought they were going to get I mean you can go back to you know elimination chamber and Dan housing coming out and we talk about that crowd reaction. 200 00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:44,500 Well if that's a you know a PLE in a big arena you're going to have a lot of premium seat pricing in those fans have no clue Dan housing is but then you see the next night on raw where you're like hey the crowd reaction seems to be a little bit better here because those people can afford those seats so you're pricing the people that actually buy your merge and view your product out of your business and then you're going to be left wondering like what like what you're going to do. 201 00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:53,500 Why is this guy not getting over as much as we thought it's kind of like you know the in baseball. 202 00:20:53,500 --> 00:21:13,500 There's always those things like you know the fans in L.A. aren't that invested in the product the fan because there's other stuff to do well in this world there are cheaper alternatives to go check out other things and you can lose your fan base really quickly going to road that core fan base by pricing a Mac is families can find other stuff to do that's more cost effective. 203 00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:42,500 Absolutely and there's a lot of things that are pricing out a lot of fans nowadays in a lot of different realms I have a general you know I'm very fortunate a good job good salary cost of living I'm feeling it and I can't make the decision to be like I want to take my family to a wrestling show I mean honestly my wife wouldn't go and my sons to you so I don't have to worry about that right now but for folks like yourself Dr. Trey it's just 204 00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:58,500 it's insane what WWE is doing right now especially with the way that the economy is at least the United States and you know people shouldn't be paying like $400 to go sit in the 200 section of Madison Square Garden for an episode of Monday Night Raw like it's just insane. 205 00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:13,500 It's amazing I paid for WrestleMania 29 I paid about $130 for my tickets and I was in a lower section at MetLife Stadium not on the floor the level just above the floor straight on to the set. 206 00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:42,500 I paid about $130 now what 13 12 13 years ago now and yeah they were they were great seats and those seats today probably cost about 700 800 bucks that's an massive increase and it's price me completely out of watching wrestling shows I'd rather be home watching on television than then being in a loud arena where my Apple watch is going off to the loud sounds are too loud and you know driving there and deal with traffic and then concession stands and I'm going to get a little bit of a ride. 207 00:22:42,500 --> 00:23:05,500 The next session stands and the experience just isn't worth it for the cost of what you're getting right now so happy to hear WWE is looking at changing around the fan and ticket prices and hopefully those ticket prices get lowered very very soon with that said Dr. Trey talk about a big show that is expensive right now that being WrestleMania 42 it'll take place next weekend on next week show. 208 00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:17,500 I'll be sitting here we'll be previewing and predicting WrestleMania 42 for you and in two weeks time we'll recap the show and I'll actually be doing an on vacation which will be lovely I haven't told my wife this yet so standby. 209 00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:31,500 Let's go through it because they've announced the card for both WrestleMania both WrestleMania night one and night two so WrestleMania night one Saturday it has Cody Rhodes and Randy Orn which I assume will be the main event match. 210 00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:47,500 Stephanie Vaughan Liv Morgan AJ Lee and Becky Lynch Seth Rollins and Gunther the women's tag team champ Chip 4 way and then Drew McAntyre versus Jacob Fattu and the Usos and LA night versus I show speed in the vision will both be airing on ESPN 2 in the first hour. 211 00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:55,500 Dr. Trey thoughts there on WrestleMania night one I think it's basically a slam dunk that Cody and Randy get the main event spot on Saturday. 212 00:23:55,500 --> 00:24:24,500 Yeah I don't see anything else on that show that you know could could trump that one on paper though a very very solid card I it's funny to me that they're putting the live in the live the live in Stephanie match on the same night as the Becky and AJ Lee one because I feel like Becky and AJ Lee is still a more star studded match then live in Stephanie even though Becky and AJ's for the I see title live in Stephanie's for the. 213 00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:42,500 You know the raw women's championship so I'm just going to I'm surprised they didn't move and put one on Saturday and one on Sunday and are you put are they putting I show speed on the on the free hour just to also entice people to get the subscription. 214 00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:50,500 Do you remember the old days when they would do those paper views and like in WWE and they're like you still got time to order this from your local service provider the free for all. 215 00:24:50,500 --> 00:25:19,500 Yeah if you love this action you still have time and then they would do like the little five minute countdown at the end of the free for all I kind of feel like I miss the show yeah but I feel like putting I show speed on the free part or on the app is their way of getting people to sign up to watch the WrestleMania like if you want if you love seeing I show speed and Logan Paul on this here check out the rest of the WrestleMania you still have time to set up your subscription. 216 00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:31,500 To watch live so but just overall just a really really solid car that's had some pretty decent bill last couple weeks to kind of emphasize the show. 217 00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:44,500 Yeah if they bring Doc Hendrix back I wonder what happened that guy during that first hour I'm totally in I think you're right I mean we'll go over we'll go overnight to here in just a second as well in the match that's Aaron for free on ESPN then I think is the similar thing. 218 00:25:44,500 --> 00:26:13,500 Whether I like him I don't care I mean I don't hate him I don't like him it I show speed means nothing to me unfortunately seems like a nice guy seems like a funny character kind of gets it I mean the dude does have a lot of subscribers or followers on his twitch YouTube streams whatever he does and maybe that's a way of getting people to to tune in certainly and get some ratings on there and maybe get the subscription and watch the rest of the show by having someone that is I guess mainstream to be on there. 219 00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:23,500 So yeah there you go night one I originally I was going to say what if it should be the main event matches for both night one and I too but I think it's very clear now based on the announcements. 220 00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:29,500 So if you look at night to WrestleMania Sunday C and pumpkin Roman reigns that's got a main event Sunday. 221 00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:38,500 Jade Cargo versus rear Ripley Sami Zayn versus trick Williams Finn versus Dom and then right now the I see title ladder match which I immediately thought was going to be on the free. 222 00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:51,500 A version of of WrestleMania is airing on ESPN this surprise me because I feel like this is the only match that can challenge for any of the main event spots right now and that's oboe family versus Brock Lesnar will be airing for free on ESPN doubt to try. 223 00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:59,500 To me that screams like yeah this is we want you to tune in we want you to check it out get your ESPN plus subscription whatever it is. 224 00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:03,500 So there you go there is WrestleMania Sunday's card as of right now. 225 00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:24,500 Yeah I would have had the I see title match maybe on the free one because you do have a lot of Hispanic viewers who are going to be tuning in to see Penta Ray dragily involved in that match and that might be able to you know and tie some of those people to kind of go ahead and sign up but to put Oba and Brock on the free one not to interrupt you there. 226 00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:28,500 Sorry to interrupt you the I see title match is also airing for ESPN yeah. 227 00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:42,500 So you have two matches airing for you got like the I see title match which makes sense to me that that one like was the one I learned for also you have JD McDonough in the match as much as we love JD McDonough most fans are like who's the big head of Irish kid. 228 00:27:42,500 --> 00:28:06,500 But you know the the dragon Lee Ray Rey Mysterio Penta being of all that match could draw attention but I am shocked that Oba and Brock is on the free part of that because like maybe it's because Oba doesn't have the the mainstream media name value and you're trying to introduce him to a mainstream audience. 229 00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:33,500 That's my only logic behind that otherwise for wrestling fans that's the only match that could really rival punk and reigns on night too is open Brock because everybody right now wants to see those guys fight and maybe it's only because that match is going to go like seven minutes in call it a day I don't know it may be a really really short Brock Lesnar Goldberg type match and we call it a day so maybe that's why it's on the ESPN free part. 230 00:28:33,500 --> 00:28:45,500 So there you go there's the cards for WrestleMania Saturday and Sunday again the airing for free on ESPN to on Saturday night is Drew McAttire versus Jacob Fattu and the Usos and LA night versus I show speed in the vision. 231 00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:56,500 And then on Sunday the I see title ladder match airing on ESPN Oba Femme versus Brock airing on ESPN everything else is on the ESPN app with your subscription. So there you go the WrestleMania one and night. 232 00:28:56,500 --> 00:29:13,500 Two cards have been released part of me also wonders dr. Triumph they will pull a page out of AW's playbook and have the free pre show match however you want to talk about it like air on finish on the main card as well I mean I I agree with it I don't see over. 233 00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:16,500 Yeah just carry it over like AW has been doing lately. 234 00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:26,500 Yeah I mean I mean to me if you're going to do that then you got to have Oba and Brock be the first match on Sunday because I really don't that's not going to be 25 minutes or brought up. 235 00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:42,500 Yeah that's not going to be a 25 minute brought like now that's going to be the typical Brock Lesnar match where we see Oba hit like four of his fall from grays is brought to hit like six F5's you know and then you have some kid out there doing the six seven movement hoping Brock goes for seven. 236 00:29:42,500 --> 00:30:08,500 But it's not going to look like that icy title match though with who you have in that match there's going to be some really entertaining stuff and you're hoping that match might carry over on the main card but then I can also see them ending it and cutting back to the the pre show table and seeing big E and Sam Roberts and whoever else they have up there trying to shield people to buy the app because they still have time like I was saying back on like the all free for all days. 237 00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:12,500 Yeah please bring back Doc Hendricks folks please whatever happened. All right. 238 00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:14,500 And then Todd Pengell. 239 00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:17,500 Amen. I'm in Todd Pengell. I am in. 240 00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:27,500 This is nostalgia right now folks. All right and now Dr. Trey it is the final installment of the WrestleMania 42 card roundup because next week we preview in the show. 241 00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:35,500 We have one new official match we we you know quasi obviously discussed it because we just went over the cards for night one night too. 242 00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:43,500 Well there's been a couple changes Ray Mysterio has been added to the latter match for the intercontinental championship. 243 00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:51,500 The demon Finn Balor will be wrestling Dominic Mysterio and then the new match that has been added is. 244 00:30:51,500 --> 00:31:02,500 The Usos and LA night versus Logan Paul Austin theory and I show speed we also have a gunther telling Paul Heyman that he owes him a favor which feels like it's foreshadowing. 245 00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:06,500 I feel like that's leading to a future retirement match potentially with Brock Lesnar. 246 00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:15,500 Dr. Trey some of your thoughts on the updates changes storyline involvements of some of our official matches at WrestleMania 42. 247 00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:30,500 Yeah I mean the six man we talked about this like what were they going to do with LA night it is funny because you have LA night and the Usos and LA night has been kind of had this weird relationship with the Usos for the last four months, five months. 248 00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:33,500 And now they're kind of buddy buddy a little bit. 249 00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:42,500 And it also feels like it's like the YouTube tag team of Logan Paul and I show speed and for Austin theories back is in there. 250 00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:51,500 I fully expect you know was a KSI KS one whoever whoever the guy is that usually dresses up in the prime model might show up as well. 251 00:31:51,500 --> 00:32:02,500 This is also my answer this is also WB's answer to was a big boom in the Riz is that who those guys are I don't know if something like that yes. 252 00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:18,500 Yeah so but yeah I mean but I am excited for you know Finn Balor bringing back the demon gimmick and a lot of us because of that the podcast he did with Cody Rose where he said he always felt like Vince and WB at the time 253 00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:30,500 that he was just handled the demon gimmick so this is his chance to kind of maybe put his own stamp on how he feels the demons should be viewed in WWE. 254 00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:41,500 So I'm really excited to see how that one kind of works out and what the WrestleMania entrance for the demon will be this year like I'm kind of psyched for the entrance I guess. 255 00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:48,500 Yeah no I think that's pretty cool it's been a very long time since we've seen the demon I think it's like pre-pandemic it's been a while. 256 00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:51,500 The last time the last time was when the rope broke. 257 00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:53,500 That was against range. 258 00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:57,500 Yeah was that so maybe that was after the pandemic like crown jewel or something. 259 00:32:57,500 --> 00:33:04,500 Yeah I think it was it was post pandemic and then we never got the payoff as to why the ring the re broke. 260 00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:17,500 Yeah I saw him live as the demon at the summer slam 2018 he wrestled like a very quick match I think against Baron Corbin now known as Bishop Dwyer so yeah the. 261 00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:21,500 Got him bust out the demon for old Baron Corbin. 262 00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:27,500 That thing that plays into exactly what he was talking about with how they kind of misused it. 263 00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:37,500 I mean we've seen more demonito in the last four years that we've seen the demon which is completely over in triple A. 264 00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:56,500 The expected match here Dr. Trey to finalize the card which would get us to 14 matches so it looks like it's going to be seven and seven each night but they're holding off on this due to recording reports is Eosky versus Oscar so Brian Alvarez of wrestling observers reporting that the reason why this hasn't been made official yet. 265 00:33:56,500 --> 00:34:01,500 Is because Nikki Bella isn't medically cleared for the women's tag team title match. 266 00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:14,500 If she is not clear the Kabuki warriors will take Bella the Bella twins place and if Nikki gets cleared EO versus Oscar match will be booked it's unclear what happens with EO at this point if Oscar must be an attack match instead. 267 00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:23,500 I would imagine EO place some sort of role in the real Ripley Jade Cargill stuff so they're kind of like doing multiple storylines here with EO to save her so that she has something to do it 268 00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:33,500 and that's the only way to do it because she certainly deserves to be there that is the only expected match left here Dr. Trey to round out looks like 14 matches on the card. 269 00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:43,500 And no Kirby if I'm wrong but there's no El Grande Americano on this card anywhere. No no I don't see it I don't even see the Miz Kit Wilson in there. 270 00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:55,500 Yeah because we're not getting your jelly roll Danhausen Miz Kit Wilson match that you were kind of hoping for so I am wondering that if you have to slide the Kabuki warriors into that match. 271 00:34:55,500 --> 00:35:12,500 Do we get El Grande Americano versus OGO Grande Americano do we get some kind of the Americano versus OG and the Cree's do we get the kit Wilson you know do we get something else thrown on the card last minute and they will see it. 272 00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:24,500 You know we'll know by what we should note to me I think by Thursday night what the director by Friday with the direction of WrestleMania with EO the Kabuki warriors and if they have to add another match to it. 273 00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:39,500 Oh 100% we certainly know where things are by who knows maybe by Friday Smackdown like you said Mondays Raw we should have a decent idea where things are going there so there you go the last WrestleMania 42 card round up we do it every week since after the Royal Rumble. 274 00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:48,500 And always fun to take a look at the card during this time of the year now we're finally to the home stretch we will preview and predict the card on next week's show. 275 00:35:48,500 --> 00:36:06,500 Dr. Dre let's recap NXT standard deliver here very quickly this past Saturday from the factory in St. Louis Missouri we had Hank Walker tank ledger Shilohel Eli Knight I believe it now is known as EK Prosper because it was too close to LA night and Rancenglare they defeated birthright in a 10 person mixed taxi match. 276 00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:16,500 Low of vice defeated JC J and Kendall Gray and a triple threat match to win the NXT women's championship the vanity project defeated Los Amerikanos retain the NXT tag team championship. 277 00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:21,500 I just want to say those first two matches there on the main card the women's match in this match the tag match were great. 278 00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:30,500 So Ruka and defeat Zaria miles born defeated Johnny Gargano to win retain the NXT North American championship I do wish Gargano's NXT return got more hype. 279 00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:47,500 Tane and Paxley defeated Blake Monroe to retain the NXT women's North American championship and Tony D'Angelo defeats Joe Henry Ricky Saints and Ethan Page in a fatal four way to win the NXT championship after nearly five years in NXT Tony D'Angelo finally wins the NXT championship and becomes an NXT triple crown winner. 280 00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:53,500 He is referring to himself as the first but I believe Johnny Gargano has also done that. 281 00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:55,500 Triple crown yes not grand slam. 282 00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:59,500 Grant's the hair yeah if you throw the heritage title into it. 283 00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:05,500 Okay that's what the grand slam to fair yeah the title that was thrown off the bridge kind of like the icy title. 284 00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:12,500 So there you go Dr. Trey thoughts on NXT stand deliver which I was overall I thought was a very strong show. 285 00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:21,500 Yeah I mean some of it was a little like the matches were really good other than JC Jane having a while like three wardrobe malfunctions in one match. 286 00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:27,500 She certainly did yeah just like my wife got mad at me for watching that match. 287 00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:35,500 But yeah I mean I'm watching like I'm watching going okay you know the birthright this is their first big match together and they lose. 288 00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:40,500 You know it's like are you trying to establish them as a dominant stable or are they going to be kind of. 289 00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:48,500 You know a nepo babies there we laugh say like I'm trying to figure out where they're going with this because on paper looks great but. 290 00:37:48,500 --> 00:38:03,500 Yeah you had them lose to a guy that has half of like Bayesie has half of LA nights current and former gimmicks because it's Eli Drake LA night you get Eli night so then he had to change his name because it was too close to that. 291 00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:14,500 The the Tatum Paxley Blakeman Romatch I love that match as well but then what's in what do you do with Blakeman row like she was your prize for each and signing last year and. 292 00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:42,500 She's kind of in the middle right now really happy for low low vice I mean that girl has been busting her I'm gonna say this people are laughing me she's been busting her ass which is a large one to kind of bust but anyway she has been all over like she was doing the triple a stuff she's in this she's doing the underground match like she's been all she has been working like crazy so she to me like that's when I was like you deserve it moments was her winning the exe women's title. 293 00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:49,500 And you know with that with that men with the NXT championship match with you know Tony D coming out on top. 294 00:38:49,500 --> 00:39:10,500 Nice me wonder are the other three guys main roster bound after WrestleMania because all three of those guys have been NXT champion and then what do you do with them with the fallout after this I kind of feel like at least one of the three if not two of the three will probably be on the main roster really really soon given the current direction of where they're going with this title. 295 00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:29,500 Yeah Joe Henry is supposed to talk about his future NXT on this week's edition of the episode I I'm in agreement with you that it feels like those three could be bound for the main roster my concern is what does the top of the card of NXT look like moving forward I think there needs to be kind of a slow methodical transition here in elevating some more guys because it's got to look pretty bleak. 296 00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:40,500 And it looked bleak when they made the page turning moment at the beginning of the calendar year here and we talked about it and they elevated the right guys in this spot from Tony D to Joe Henry. 297 00:39:40,500 --> 00:39:53,500 Ricky Saints and Ethan page and obviously they eventually want to get away from that at some point and start elevating some new talent and it's like okay well then who I mean I don't believe in Jasper Troy I don't believe in Keanu carver right now don't believe in Josh breaks. 298 00:39:53,500 --> 00:40:01,500 So miles born I think is going to take some time as well I think there's some stuff there I mean do really elevate birthright it's. 299 00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:15,500 There's a gap between the upper card and the mid card right now in NXT that I think needs to even they need to rip the band in and start elevating the mid card and there's going to be some bumps and bruises or you kind of do a nice smooth transition and I think they should do the nice smooth transition so. 300 00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:29,500 Stand to liver was a was a very good show highly recommended for folks that have enjoyed the NXT product I thought it was like much better than a normal NXT and was was a fun show on on this past Saturday. 301 00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:38,500 Looking towards Dynasty this Sunday from the Rogers Arena in Vancouver British Columbia Canada after trail we've Alex Winter versus Marine and she fear. 302 00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:54,500 The new Japan strong women's title be on the line that'll be in the pre show Jericho versus Ricochet Darby Allen versus Andre L. Elo if Darby Allen wins he will take on the AW world champion at double or nothing the young bucks versus Kusuchko Kato Knozki to catch an attack team match. 303 00:40:54,500 --> 00:41:07,500 The casino gauntlet match to also champ is the first participant will find out who the second one will be presumably on collision it'll be a gauntlet match obviously and it's for the vacant AW TNT championship after Kyle Fletcher suffered an injury huge bummer. 304 00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:21,500 Kyle Fletcher was a peg to be in a match with Kusuchko Kato to take on the young bucks according to what was said on the show and according to reports and tag team match and that has been scrapped fletchers amazing hopefully he's not out for too long. 305 00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:34,500 FTR versus Adam Copeland and Christian Cage for the tag team titles Tech versus Jamie Hader for the AW women's title John Moxley versus well lost by for the AW Continental Championship then MJF versus Kenny Omega for the AW world championship. 306 00:41:34,500 --> 00:41:41,500 Darby, do you have any thoughts on the card and what match or matches you're looking most forward to. 307 00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:51,500 Yeah, I mean it's a really really solid car from the top to bottom. I mean of course for me, you know FTR versus Cajun Copeland is up the top of the list. 308 00:41:51,500 --> 00:42:05,500 I'm really excited to see also what they do. Do we finally get to catch the turning on O'Cotta post match because that just feels like if you're if you're kind of putting those two together that this is where you pull the trigger on that. 309 00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:13,500 Of course hang or excuse me, Omega and MJF is a fantastic match up. 310 00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:26,500 Darby, you know in his stuff like I'm I hate when they say of Darby wins he gets a shot at the AW world title because it kind of feels like a four shadows that match. 311 00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:40,500 But you know if we get to Darby and MJF like that's you know those those pillars that we talked about in AW years and years ago finally meeting for the world title it feels like it's on a good level so overall like those are what I've kind of. 312 00:42:40,500 --> 00:43:00,500 Ten point I am interested to see what they do with you know we haven't seen Mercedes Beno he's been off television for a while you have Tony storms out for the rest of the year like can one of these other women kind of catch fire and take that top spot and really make themselves must see viewing in the women's division so. 313 00:43:00,500 --> 00:43:07,500 You know can fecla and Jamie Hader rise to the occasion at dynasty so those are the ones I'm kind of looking forward to you right now. 314 00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:17,500 Yeah should be a very fun show looking forward to FTR and Adam Copeland Christian Cage the layer that was revealed on dynamite with to the cashier and Okada is if they could get through this donkow 315 00:43:17,500 --> 00:43:23,500 said they will battle it out for the international championship at double or nothing which will be weird but a nice way to kind of. 316 00:43:23,500 --> 00:43:30,500 Take the next step with this few that they've been teasing for a long time it's it's very entertaining and fun and they're both great wrestlers. 317 00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:41,500 And then looking to see what the Jericho ricochet reaction is Jericho is still he got a much better reaction than he did when he returned it's still not like crazy Jericho 318 00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:52,500 is because like the Judas song they were singing it was not the same as it's been in the past will be interesting to see how the American audiences handle it. 319 00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:58,500 He did bring back the list he's he's playing the hits right now right. 320 00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:09,500 And then MJF versus Kenny Omega I mean I expect MJF to win I expect MJF versus Darby Allen to be the headlining match at double or nothing and play that up I think it's time to put Darby in the AW World championship match. 321 00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:24,500 And I think MJF is a great foil and and heal for him to face MJF has been phenomenal since he's been back really great and it's part of the reason why I think the AW product has been so damn good lately is they have all the right guys and girls back right now for the most part. 322 00:44:24,500 --> 00:44:32,500 There are obviously people Dr. Trey point out Tony Storm that I do miss on my television each and every week and Moxley Will Osprey should be an absolute blast looking forward to that. 323 00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:48,500 So should be a fun show this Sunday on paper view AW Dynasty from the Rogers Arena in Vancouver British Columbia Canada with that being said let's get a couple of
