  Speaker 15: no matter what time I said it to it's always.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Guys.
• 13:18
  Speaker 13: Since the last time we spoke, we we now have
• 13:22
  Speaker 13: two different women's champions. We Tiffany Stratton.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Dude, I tell yeah, yeah, let me tell you how.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: I did not.
• 13:31
  Speaker 13: See that castion coming. Definitely did not see that coming.
• 13:36
  Speaker 13: I was thinking of something maybe of a bigger event
• 13:38
  Speaker 13: than SmackDown.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Uh. I guess three hour premiere on USA network, right. Uh,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I caught me off guard and I was
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: marking the hell out.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll give it to him. That was a smart
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: way of doing that. Obviously.
• 13:56
  Speaker 14: You know the fake cash's run people into They run
• 14:00
  Speaker 14: those into the ground, and people get sick of those
• 14:02
  Speaker 14: and at some point they lose interest. But they did
• 14:05
  Speaker 14: a good job of picking a moment to surprise everyone
• 14:09
  Speaker 14: with that cash.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: They played a great They've been doing it to.
• 14:13
  Speaker 12: Death with Tiffy. Every single nay a match.
• 14:18
  Speaker 11: She comes out and there's a you know, and I
• 14:21
  Speaker 11: I remember saying when said here she comes, and I
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: was like, if this isn't finally, yeah, like I'm I'm starting.
• 14:27
  Speaker 12: To be done with this. So yeah, I think they
• 14:30
  Speaker 12: did a great job, like almost a double swear.
• 14:33
  Speaker 14: I mean, remember they did the same thing with uh.
• 14:35
  Speaker 14: They did the same thing with Damian Priest last year
• 14:38
  Speaker 14: with all the cash, so people got sick of it,
• 14:41
  Speaker 14: and then of course he did it a WrestleMania and
• 14:42
  Speaker 14: everybody lost their ship.
• 14:44
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I know, is Tiffy a heel or a baby
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: face or a tween or she got a huge pop,
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: but she also.
• 14:52
  Speaker 12: Threw Bianca bell at the town's table.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, then then I yeah, tweener, you know, a
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: heel that we like.
• 15:01
  Speaker 12: I think she's gonna get face heat for sure.
• 15:04
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, She's probably gonna be in between for the
• 15:07
  Speaker 14: time being. Obviously, the fans are clearly still popping for her,
• 15:13
  Speaker 14: you know, like she is a baby face, but she
• 15:15
  Speaker 14: still does healiss things, and I think I think Creative
• 15:19
  Speaker 14: probably still considers her to be a heel, but it's
• 15:22
  Speaker 14: probably gonna depend on who she's feuding with. Like obviously,
• 15:25
  Speaker 14: if she's gonna be feuding with Nijacks, who's gonna be
• 15:28
  Speaker 14: rightfully angry and want to get her title back, then
• 15:31
  Speaker 14: Tiffany Stratton will be painted as the face in that feud.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: But if it's against somebody like.
• 15:38
  Speaker 11: So, you know, a lot from her first promo, right,
• 15:41
  Speaker 11: whatever she says whenever she I guess, assume me next week.
• 15:44
  Speaker 11: You know, if she gives a baby face promo, obviously
• 15:47
  Speaker 11: she's a baby face when it comes out to said.
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: Dump all over the crowd, which would be hilarious. I'm
• 15:51
  Speaker 12: always in favor of that person is a hell.
• 15:55
  Speaker 14: I think she's I think she's still gonna be portrayed
• 15:58
  Speaker 14: as a heel for the time being, but like I said,
• 16:01
  Speaker 14: depending on who she's feuding against, I think we'll influence
• 16:05
  Speaker 14: that she's not gonna be portrayed as a heel against
• 16:09
  Speaker 14: Nia Jacks because I don't think fans are gonna cheer
• 16:11
  Speaker 14: for Naya Jacks.
• 16:13
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, true, dude. Also, since then since since we've
• 16:20
  Speaker 13: last discussed them. Pro wrestling, Chelsea Green first Women's United
• 16:26
  Speaker 13: States Champion.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is a lot of titles and changing
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: hands in the women's division as of late, and we're
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: still not even crowned a new women's inter champion. Yet
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: we're still doing that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Yep, that's coming up next week on Raw.
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: Got cut from the Netflix debut.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: They couldn't they couldn't find a spot in those three
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: hours four matches. Well yeah, I mean, like, I mean,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: let let's get say it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: We're gonna be just discussing, you know, not within full detail,
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: but the Monday Night Raw on Netflix. You know, I
• 17:13
  Speaker 13: I was getting a lot of people who were asking me,
• 17:16
  Speaker 13: are you worried that they're gonna have issues like they
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: did with the the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight with Netflix,
• 17:23
  Speaker 13: like you know, with live streaming, And I was like, no,
• 17:27
  Speaker 13: absolutely not. Why it's because of the streaming numbers. You're
• 17:32
  Speaker 13: not gonna get the amount of people that were eating
• 17:36
  Speaker 13: up those servers on that night, that boxing night.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: You're never gonna get those numbers on a Monday night Raw.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: And And they handled it fine, at least from my end.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, it was smooth, it was crisp, it was clean.
• 17:49
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: I didn't have any lagging issues. I mean, I don't
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: know about you guys.
• 17:55
  Speaker 14: Any all the concerns I had about Monday Night Raw
• 17:58
  Speaker 14: having issues went away with the Christmas NFL games.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: They had okay because between.
• 18:05
  Speaker 14: Now, I don't know what did bigger numbers, between the
• 18:07
  Speaker 14: Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight or the NFL Christmas Games,
• 18:12
  Speaker 14: but those Christmas games were off without a hitch, like,
• 18:16
  Speaker 14: not a moment, a buff friend, and the stream quality
• 18:19
  Speaker 14: was great, picture looked great, everything was great about it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 14: Flawless pretty much, outside of maybe a few hiccups in
• 18:24
  Speaker 14: the pregame show, but that's technical stuff you'll get with
• 18:27
  Speaker 14: any live broadcast. The stream itself was flawless, and NFL
• 18:32
  Speaker 14: is always going to do way bigger numbers than what
• 18:35
  Speaker 14: this RAW was gonna do. So when that went by
• 18:38
  Speaker 14: without any issue, I was like, yeah, Raw, it's gonna
• 18:40
  Speaker 14: be okay.
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I mean that was pretty confident as well. I mean, Doyle,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: were you concerned at all when you heard that they're
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: gonna be doing live streaming and after what we've seen
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: with the boxing match last time.
• 18:54
  Speaker 12: I mean a year ago when they made this announcement. Yeah,
• 18:57
  Speaker 12: it was very concerned.
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean even through the Logan Paul or whatever
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: the hell's name the other one, Jake, one of the.
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: Polls, even you know the issues that that one had.
• 19:11
  Speaker 11: Yeah, of course, the numbers just weren't going to be
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: anywhere in the ballpark, and.
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: You knew that. And pro wrestling lends itself in a
• 19:20
  Speaker 12: way to lends itself to watching later, maybe, you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 12: in a way that Sports Live Sports really doesn't, you know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 12: you know, whenever I'm not home and I'm trying a
• 19:34
  Speaker 12: DVR a game or something I do, and I never
• 19:37
  Speaker 12: fucking watch it because I know what you know what
• 19:39
  Speaker 12: I mean.
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: Whereas I'll definitely watch a whole wrestling show and I'll
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: watch it one that I've seen one hundred times, you
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: know what I mean. So I think the viewership, I mean,
• 19:50
  Speaker 11: I don't know if they released numbers, ratings, I don't
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: really care, but I.
• 19:54
  Speaker 12: Think I bet you just as many people watched it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: Within the twenty four hours of its premiering the w Live,
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: you know what I mean.
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: So I don't think I didn't think there would be
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: that server crunch. I just had a few tiny little
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: iccups here and there, but otherwise it went off with
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: that a hitch for me.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't think they've put out any official numbers
• 20:16
  Speaker 14: as of yet. As far as what the streams were,
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: I think the only things that I've seen is people
• 20:22
  Speaker 14: said it beat out Squad Game season two, yeah, which
• 20:26
  Speaker 14: I don't know if that's worldwide or domestic. I think
• 20:29
  Speaker 14: the number will probably be fairly big because it's not
• 20:32
  Speaker 14: this was something that was broadcast around the world simultaneously,
• 20:36
  Speaker 14: so I'm pretty sure it'll be probably somewhere in the
• 20:41
  Speaker 14: high couple millions. I think it'll be interesting to see
• 20:44
  Speaker 14: if it crosses double digit millions, Like does it get
• 20:48
  Speaker 14: over ten million streams.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: That night?
• 20:53
  Speaker 13: Okay I did because I had actually that pool for
• 20:57
  Speaker 13: news later. Yeah, it was the number one on TV
• 21:01
  Speaker 13: shows in the US.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, in order.
• 21:05
  Speaker 13: It was w W Raw, then Squid Games, then Missing
• 21:09
  Speaker 13: You selling the City Virgin River, which probably I've heard
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: none of these fucking things, and no Good Deed, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 13: then a bunch of other things I've never heard of. So, yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 13: beat out Squid Games.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Uh, it broke their revenue record.
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: I feel like Netflix only releases numbers.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the numbers if it does really good.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, early projections, but it's all like it's not like
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: an EBC, NBCCB, like their ratings are like they're out there.
• 21:44
  Speaker 12: You know, Netflix can just say fuck you, I'm not
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: telling you.
• 21:48
  Speaker 15: Or you know.
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they're predicting that it could three point six million,
• 21:56
  Speaker 13: it could surpass three point six million viewers.
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: That might be just in the States United States thought,
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: which if so, that's still a pretty good number.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I mean, like here's the thing is, what's
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: this gonna be like next week? You know, like we
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: may have We're gonna probably have a.
• 22:19
  Speaker 13: Big fall off next week, a big fallof for sure.
• 22:24
  Speaker 13: And oh dude, I uh I got that rough reminder
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: that it was fucking three hours.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: I was like, ah fuck, Like we're.
• 22:33
  Speaker 13: Three hour raw, three hour smackdowns, Like come on, man,
• 22:39
  Speaker 13: like some of us like we're just that dedicated. You know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 13: you got the raw, you got the smack time then
• 22:44
  Speaker 13: and then you got guys who watched the NXT, some
• 22:47
  Speaker 13: guys who watch a w and then Impact Wrestling, like
• 22:50
  Speaker 13: it's just literally can consume our lives every fucking day
• 22:54
  Speaker 13: of the week.
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: Well yeah, maybe, well that's the third hour now on
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: smack too, Jesus Christ.
• 23:02
  Speaker 14: That one, Yeah, that one surprised me me off guard
• 23:05
  Speaker 14: more than anything because I'm sitting there watching all Sudden
• 23:08
  Speaker 14: shot past ten and I was like, oh damn, they
• 23:10
  Speaker 14: going past ten o'clock. Oh yeah, it's three hours now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: It's just like, yeah, like I've been saying this for
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: a while, I think they're approaching the overexposure limit.
• 23:21
  Speaker 12: You know, like because what is it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 16: NXT is two hours, So that's now six eight hours
• 23:29
  Speaker 16: a week of programming, you know, plus the three four
• 23:33
  Speaker 16: hours of pay per view every month, and if you
• 23:35
  Speaker 16: want to watch the NXT pay per views also on
• 23:38
  Speaker 16: top of that, that's another you know, if they're at
• 23:43
  Speaker 16: and they're making if they're gonna make Summer Slam and
• 23:45
  Speaker 16: Rumble and WrestleMania two day.
• 23:47
  Speaker 12: Affair, you know, it was like I think I did
• 23:51
  Speaker 12: a rough estimate.
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: They're gonna add seventy hours of television next year, you
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: know this year.
• 23:57
  Speaker 12: It's just like that's a lot.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a it is a lie.
• 24:00
  Speaker 14: I think that's a valid point, but I think it
• 24:03
  Speaker 14: also partially depends on one the quality of what they're
• 24:09
  Speaker 14: putting out there. But I think also what kind of
• 24:11
  Speaker 14: helps mitigate it is the fact that we're dealing with
• 24:16
  Speaker 14: different rosters. Like, yes, NXT counts towards I guess, the
• 24:20
  Speaker 14: overall volume of content.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: But NXT is kind of its own thing.
• 24:24
  Speaker 14: It's w W E yes, but it's very loosely.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Its own brand. You know, you're there.
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: I mean you can kind of say the same thing
• 24:32
  Speaker 11: about the Marvel movies, right like when they started churning
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: them out, you know, when when the when the quality
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: the quantity exponentially expanded, the quality drastically dropped, you know,
• 24:44
  Speaker 11: and I'm afraid that that's what's going to happen here.
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: And you know, NXT is different than SmackDown, is different
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: than Raw sure, but you know Captain Marvel.
• 24:51
  Speaker 12: Is different than ant Man. It's different than what you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 12: But just the delus with the shows and the you know,
• 24:58
  Speaker 12: four moves, four or five movies a.
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: Year and now I'm going to watch for ten episode
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: one hour each episodes of a show. You know, it's
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: just it becomes too much and it's just just you know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: too much of a good thing sometimes.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's a valid concern.
• 25:17
  Speaker 14: Like I said, it comes down to the quality of
• 25:19
  Speaker 14: what they're putting out. And I think we all have
• 25:23
  Speaker 14: watched it enough to know by now that you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 14: WW is not going to knock it out the park
• 25:28
  Speaker 14: every week. Some shows are going to be better than others.
• 25:30
  Speaker 14: Sometimes they're going to drop a dead episode, some fuse
• 25:33
  Speaker 14: or some storylines are going to connect and hit some
• 25:35
  Speaker 14: or not. You know, that's just kind of what comes
• 25:39
  Speaker 14: with it, which you know, it's just part for the course.
• 25:44
  Speaker 14: I think now with w w E, as far as
• 25:49
  Speaker 14: we'll probably I want I wonder how they're what the
• 25:53
  Speaker 14: size of their writing staff is or their creative team,
• 25:57
  Speaker 14: because if it's a small like again, we know that
• 25:59
  Speaker 14: I think NXT is probably its own thing. The people
• 26:03
  Speaker 14: that are writing for NXT, I don't think are also
• 26:05
  Speaker 14: trying to write for the main roster. That's pretty much
• 26:07
  Speaker 14: Sean and his team taking care of that. Now, as
• 26:11
  Speaker 14: far as we're on SmackDown, that's probably mostly the same
• 26:16
  Speaker 14: team maybe writing for both.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: But I wonder how that is set up.
• 26:20
  Speaker 14: Do they have those teams you know, split, fragmented, segmented,
• 26:24
  Speaker 14: or you know, however it is so that way they
• 26:28
  Speaker 14: can they're not being overworked or overstressed with, as you said,
• 26:32
  Speaker 14: trying to write. You know, seventy more hours worth of
• 26:35
  Speaker 14: content for the year, more storylines, especially filling out a
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: third hour of SmackDown.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: But obviously we shall see.
• 26:45
  Speaker 12: It's my understanding that each show has their own set
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: of writers. There are people that are involved with both.
• 26:52
  Speaker 12: They're all three, but.
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: They're in there's there's groups on the road, and there's
• 26:57
  Speaker 11: groups in Stanford. Also, yeah, they are all you know,
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: video conferencing all day together coming up with it. So
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: it's kind of a combination of everything you just said.
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: That's why it anyway.
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and also the thing was with them being on
• 27:12
  Speaker 14: Netflix now that obviously this past episode of Raw went
• 27:17
  Speaker 14: a little past three hours. But given that they're not
• 27:20
  Speaker 14: tied to television restraints on time every week, episode doesn't
• 27:25
  Speaker 14: necessarily have to be three hours every week. If the
• 27:28
  Speaker 14: show doesn't call for it, or if they don't have
• 27:30
  Speaker 14: enough stuff for it, we might get a two and
• 27:32
  Speaker 14: a half hour episode of Raw. It might be two
• 27:35
  Speaker 14: hours and forty five minutes. If it's a bigger episode,
• 27:37
  Speaker 14: it might go past three hours. I think having that
• 27:41
  Speaker 14: flexibility may help them in the long run as they
• 27:44
  Speaker 14: find their groove and figure out you know, Okay, these
• 27:48
  Speaker 14: are the set stories we want to tell this week.
• 27:50
  Speaker 14: How long is it going to take us to tell
• 27:52
  Speaker 14: these stories or you know, put out the show. That's
• 27:56
  Speaker 14: the time, and rather than being forced or feeling like
• 27:59
  Speaker 14: they have to hit this three hour mark like they
• 28:01
  Speaker 14: had to in the past when they were in USA,
• 28:03
  Speaker 14: like we have to have three hours of content every
• 28:06
  Speaker 14: single week.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Sometimes maybe if it's a downtime, if it's a little
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: bit of.
• 28:09
  Speaker 14: A slow pace, maybe you ain't got three hours worth
• 28:11
  Speaker 14: of contentt like, hey, we got two hours of fifteen
• 28:14
  Speaker 14: minutes for y'all this week.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: That's what it is.
• 28:16
  Speaker 11: I feel like I read that for the first couple
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: months anyway, it is in a few places internationally, specifically India,
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: it's still on regular television for another couple of months
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: till whatever the contracts take effect it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 12: And at that time the lengths may start to really
• 28:38
  Speaker 12: swing wildly.
• 28:40
  Speaker 17: Yeah, and also with especially because India is such a huge,
• 28:44
  Speaker 17: huge market, I think they're still slightly beholden to terrestrial
• 28:49
  Speaker 17: television for at least a little while longer.
• 28:52
  Speaker 12: So I think you're right.
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: Because Triple A has come out and said, hey, sometimes
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: an episode might only be forty minutes.
• 28:57
  Speaker 12: I don't think that'll ever happen. But uh, you know,
• 29:01
  Speaker 12: maybe you know, maybe an episode was only two and
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: a half hours. Someday maybe it's four hours one week,
• 29:06
  Speaker 12: who knows, but I think it might be a few
• 29:09
  Speaker 12: weeks until we see that to start happening.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that makes sense.
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: I mean I would expect at least through WrestleMania that
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: we'll probably get close to three hours every week, just
• 29:19
  Speaker 14: because this is you know, prime season.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: I mean, if there's ever a time, you got, you
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: got spots, things to air, you know, stuff to put
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: on the season, right exactly.
• 29:33
  Speaker 13: So when they opened the show, I like how they
• 29:38
  Speaker 13: had a drone flying around during the you know, flying
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: around the inside showing the arena from the outside. I
• 29:44
  Speaker 13: think that was pretty cool, showing how packed they were.
• 29:47
  Speaker 13: I think they said it was like seven seventeen sev.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: So that's a lot.
• 29:52
  Speaker 13: That's a lot of inside there. You know, they had
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: this these dreams round the ring, like basically hiding the ring,
• 30:02
  Speaker 13: and uh, they did a I'll play it at the
• 30:05
  Speaker 13: beginning of the podcast for those who didn't hear it,
• 30:08
  Speaker 13: Triple Ah does a video package talking about basically the
• 30:12
  Speaker 13: history of professional wrestling, you know, not not just from
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: WWS but professional wrestling as a whole, and.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: It's pretty good. You know, I'm not gonna sit here
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: and talk about it. I'll just have it play. But
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, I enjoyed it, and I thought it was
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: pretty cool then, like you know, everybody could see it
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: from all angles, which I thought was pretty nice. And
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: then the pirate go off and then the the drapes
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: dropped to the ground and Triple Ah just standing in
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: the middle.
• 30:38
  Speaker 14: I was like, Sponsors, Yeah, dude, holy shit.
• 30:44
  Speaker 13: And you know, we did change the ring color on
• 30:46
  Speaker 13: SmackDown and Raw. The SmackDown Matt is blue and this
• 30:51
  Speaker 13: one is gray correct.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: Black gray. But yeah, dude, I don't.
• 30:57
  Speaker 13: Know if it's just because of the week. I don't
• 31:01
  Speaker 13: know if this is because it's on Netflix, like this
• 31:03
  Speaker 13: is it going forward? But holy Sponsors, we know we
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: got a little taste of it because we got we've
• 31:09
  Speaker 13: had Prime for a while, and then at Wargames we
• 31:12
  Speaker 13: got to taste the double dose of it, of being
• 31:14
  Speaker 13: in both rings. And now it's this is the norm.
• 31:19
  Speaker 13: We're just gonna have fucking as well. Ever since the merger,
• 31:24
  Speaker 13: you knew this was coming exactly.
• 31:27
  Speaker 14: Yeah, this is no longer just WWE, the publicly traded
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: company that has to make money, or the family owned
• 31:34
  Speaker 14: quote unquote company that was independent. They now have a
• 31:38
  Speaker 14: parent company at that parent company, TKO. You know, they
• 31:42
  Speaker 14: may say, Yo, we like what you're doing over there, kid,
• 31:45
  Speaker 14: we're really getting really into that whole wrestling thing and
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: sports entertainment all that stuff. Wadham dollars at how much
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: money are you bringing in?
• 31:55
  Speaker 11: Well, I mean, speaking of money bringing in, what did
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: we say, seventeen thousand? It was the highest grow same
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: arena show of all time. You know, they've certainly had
• 32:03
  Speaker 11: bigger ones. You know what does that mean? It means
• 32:06
  Speaker 11: you're getting jacked on ticket prices mm hm, you know,
• 32:09
  Speaker 11: and that's another bubble. I feel like it's gonna burst
• 32:13
  Speaker 11: sooner rather than later because the tickets are I mean,
• 32:17
  Speaker 11: we paid a ton last year for WrestleMania, and they're
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: astronomically more expensive this year.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: Uh, And it's just gonna go up and up and
• 32:25
  Speaker 11: up and up and up, And is anyone gonna be
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: able to fuck afford to go anymore?
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the it's good.
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that and that's definitely something somewhere exactly. Yeah, it's
• 32:37
  Speaker 14: definitely something to keep an eye on, because not only
• 32:40
  Speaker 14: are they doing that, they're also reducing the number of
• 32:43
  Speaker 14: live shows and having more of them internationally. You know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 14: US market is, you know, obviously still home basing. You know,
• 32:52
  Speaker 14: probably most of the raws, the smack nowns will emanate
• 32:55
  Speaker 14: from here.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: But what's what's it going to cost for those?
• 32:59
  Speaker 14: If they're not doing as many households, then they're gonna
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: make those make the WWE Live experience feel like more
• 33:06
  Speaker 14: of a premium event to attend. If it's gonna be
• 33:09
  Speaker 14: that thing, then obviously it's gonna be more expensive, you know,
• 33:13
  Speaker 14: So Raw it's gonna cost more.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I think gonna cost more.
• 33:18
  Speaker 12: What year was Extreme Rules?
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Wayne?
• 33:20
  Speaker 12: Was that twenty twenty two? So two years ago, three
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: years ago?
• 33:26
  Speaker 11: I think a ticket for RAW today is more expensive
• 33:29
  Speaker 11: than that pay per view was.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, I was. I went and looked because
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: you know, they throw the QR code up when.
• 33:38
  Speaker 13: They tell you when the tickets are out for sale,
• 33:40
  Speaker 13: and I always check them because I'm just curious. So
• 33:43
  Speaker 13: if you wanted like seats near the ring for elimination chamber,
• 33:49
  Speaker 13: you're looking at like six hundred and seventy four dollars
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: a ticket roughly, so.
• 33:58
  Speaker 14: Yeah, which is yeah, which is wild for a pl
• 34:02
  Speaker 14: but yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 13: Well yeah, dude, I mean you're not even I mean,
• 34:06
  Speaker 13: come on, let's be realistic, dude, Like, Okay, you're you
• 34:10
  Speaker 13: got tickets and most likely you're not going by yourself.
• 34:12
  Speaker 13: So you're bringing your girl, your wife, whatever, right, so
• 34:17
  Speaker 13: you're paying or your kid, so you're paying for that.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: That's another ticket. So right there, you're definitely way over
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: twelve hundred bucks then you got to pay for you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: however far to some people. For us, it's like.
• 34:28
  Speaker 13: An hour drive, you know, and then you know, you
• 34:31
  Speaker 13: gotta get food, and that's a whole night. Like that's
• 34:34
  Speaker 13: a lot of money for one night to honestly to
• 34:37
  Speaker 13: be like so now it's like I just sit at home.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for three hours of entertainment more or less.
• 34:46
  Speaker 14: It's Yeah, these things are gonna start to become more
• 34:49
  Speaker 14: of an investment, especially for people who are like in
• 34:53
  Speaker 14: smaller markets, because it seems like the smaller markets are
• 34:55
  Speaker 14: getting slowly phased out in terms of WWE, right, They're
• 35:00
  Speaker 14: only seeming to be hitting larger markets with larger populations
• 35:04
  Speaker 14: and presumably people with bigger pockets. You know, like how
• 35:08
  Speaker 14: many they did LA started off this year, you know
• 35:11
  Speaker 14: at the into it don't obviously this was a premium event.
• 35:15
  Speaker 14: How many more times do you think they're going to
• 35:17
  Speaker 14: go to LA this year? I bet they will probably
• 35:21
  Speaker 14: be in LA at least four more times this year.
• 35:26
  Speaker 14: Whereas a smaller market like my own hometown area in
• 35:30
  Speaker 14: Hampton Roads here in the seven five seven, they ain't
• 35:33
  Speaker 14: been here since September twenty twenty three, the raw that
• 35:39
  Speaker 14: I attended in Norfolk, that's the last time WWE was here.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, dude, these tickets are becoming like an investment,
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: like you know, with these prices, and like we'll.
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: Probably find out closer, like with how much Wrestleman tickets
• 35:56
  Speaker 13: are going for still, like you know, Las Vegas outstanding,
• 36:01
  Speaker 13: I'll say, way more than probably what we had to pay.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we want too.
• 36:06
  Speaker 14: I'd be willing to bet like the seats of the
• 36:09
  Speaker 14: same level that we at the same relative like level
• 36:13
  Speaker 14: or distance or whatever that we got.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I'm a little bet they're probably.
• 36:17
  Speaker 14: Over a thousand this year, right, Yeah. And that's just
• 36:21
  Speaker 14: you know, and that's just the stuff that's here in
• 36:23
  Speaker 14: the States. Let alone the fact that they're going overseas
• 36:25
  Speaker 14: more now, more and more international trips in Europe and Asia.
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: So Saudi Arabia you know now now not even the
• 36:36
  Speaker 14: PLS or even you know, the Big before it was like,
• 36:39
  Speaker 14: what was it, twenty twenty four, the Big four pls
• 36:42
  Speaker 14: were held here in the States. Everything else was held international.
• 36:46
  Speaker 14: As far as the PLS go, that ain't even a
• 36:48
  Speaker 14: guaranteed thing no more. Because they just announced what Royal
• 36:51
  Speaker 14: Rumble twenty twenty six where Saudi Arabia.
• 36:54
  Speaker 17: Dude, Yeah, but apparently got food and ship in the building.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you could.
• 37:00
  Speaker 14: You could loosely hear it on the broadcast when they
• 37:02
  Speaker 14: came back from the announcement.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: You can hear people in the arena's still booing.
• 37:05
  Speaker 14: I mean when they announced the whole w W E
• 37:11
  Speaker 14: experience and riad it got booed heavily. Yeah, but they
• 37:18
  Speaker 14: don't care because Saudi Saudi coming up off.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Them dollars, blood money. Hey, that's what.
• 37:25
  Speaker 14: Comes with That's what comes with having an international parent
• 37:28
  Speaker 14: company as well. They're like, they mad, I don't care
• 37:31
  Speaker 14: were getting the money. They'll be over it. They'll get
• 37:34
  Speaker 14: over it because and to a certain sad extent, they're
• 37:36
  Speaker 14: right because people are mad that the Royal Rumbles gonna
• 37:40
  Speaker 14: be in Saudi Arabia. But guess what, People still going
• 37:42
  Speaker 14: tune in the raw next week. People gonna still buy
• 37:45
  Speaker 14: tickets whenever Raw SmackDown comes to their town. People are
• 37:48
  Speaker 14: still going to tune into the p l e S.
• 37:50
  Speaker 14: People still gonna buy tickets.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: For the p L e S.
• 37:53
  Speaker 14: And when they do have that Rumble in Saudi Arabia,
• 37:56
  Speaker 14: it's gonna be packed out. It's gonna be sold out.
• 37:58
  Speaker 14: And when they're streaming here in the States, the people
• 38:00
  Speaker 14: still going to do tune in and watch.
• 38:04
  Speaker 12: In the afternoon.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I've already.
• 38:08
  Speaker 14: Seen some discussion discussion about it that people are happy
• 38:10
  Speaker 14: that it's in the afternoon. It's like you have society
• 38:13
  Speaker 14: the hell shoot, you're talking about the afternoon ro roll,
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: rumble and brunch.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: I'm here for it, you know.
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 38:19
  Speaker 14: So as much as all they want to, ultimately it's
• 38:23
  Speaker 14: not going to change anything. And ultimately w W is
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: still winning with it.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: Yep, yep.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: There's a really.
• 38:31
  Speaker 14: Interesting question of when when is the actual breaking point
• 38:35
  Speaker 14: going to come? When it is, where are they going
• 38:38
  Speaker 14: to do something that's going to upset people in enough
• 38:42
  Speaker 14: of a way for them to have a reaction that
• 38:45
  Speaker 14: w w E has to acknowledge or depth fans do
• 38:49
  Speaker 14: something that forces ww to either pivot or change a decision,
• 38:53
  Speaker 14: like I.
• 38:53
  Speaker 13: Know, like they'll hold them, like I get it, they
• 38:55
  Speaker 13: won't pay them, and they'll hold them hostage on a tarmat,
• 38:59
  Speaker 13: you know, while they're in their planes and won't let
• 39:02
  Speaker 13: them take off. Right for that kind of shit, They'd
• 39:06
  Speaker 13: be like fuck this right right?
• 39:10
  Speaker 14: No, I think the only thing that would happen is
• 39:13
  Speaker 14: they would have to see a significant dip in viewership. Yeah, yeah,
• 39:17
  Speaker 14: like if somehow like which I highly doubted, but if
• 39:20
  Speaker 14: somehow like that twenty twenty six World Rumble did like
• 39:23
  Speaker 14: abysmal streaming numbers out of protest, then that would be
• 39:28
  Speaker 14: something they might have to pay attention to. But even
• 39:30
  Speaker 14: then they still might ignore it because they'd be like,
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: look what this gate did. They got much mondy they
• 39:35
  Speaker 14: saw these paid us?
• 39:36
  Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, I mean I think they get fifty million
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: dollars to walk in.
• 39:39
  Speaker 12: The door per show.
• 39:42
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that's a lot, and that's probably for that's just
• 39:45
  Speaker 14: for crowd jewel and whatever other side of the show.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: They'll tell them what they had to pay for Rumble
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: for two shows a year.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean that's they're doing pretty fucking good for
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: themselves between that.
• 39:55
  Speaker 12: And the r T shirts on top of that.
• 39:59
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and you know, and you know, WW charged him
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: a premium for the Rumble. Yeah, you're like you wanted
• 40:04
  Speaker 14: the Big Four. That's gonna cost you a little extra.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Uh So, guys, when this uh, the first person
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: to come out music hits, I didn't know who it
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: was at first. I don't know who's that? Who is this?
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: Because okay, this is the advertised as like maybe one
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: of the biggest and longest sprawls in history. Right, I'm
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: expecting returns.
• 40:32
  Speaker 13: I'm expecting you know, you know, I know, people, I
• 40:36
  Speaker 13: haven't seen it in a very long time, and I
• 40:39
  Speaker 13: know the rock was gonna.
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: Be there, right. We all knew. We all knew he was.
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: It's just a matter of when. When his music started,
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: I didn't know who that was because they didn't start
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: off with the normal you know if you smell you
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: know that's happened to me before. When he returned.
• 40:57
  Speaker 13: Where I guess it was like, uh, in the arena,
• 41:01
  Speaker 13: it was like electric, just like pulsating in the arena,
• 41:05
  Speaker 13: and then his music hit. That was another time that
• 41:07
  Speaker 13: he came out and I was.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: Like, who is this? And then you get that pause,
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: you smell and the fucking instant pop. But we got
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: Rocks shown his age with the gray Beard. I wasn't
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: think it was just very light, but uh, it's it's
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: all Gray's starting a show man. Uh he came out
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: and stuff. Oh yeah, just for men.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah he did let the little stubble show through a
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, so we had we had the rock come out,
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: you know, it borrow.
• 41:50
  Speaker 12: It from Drew McIntyre. Whatever. Drew mcintires isn't a.
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: Thing shooting, isn't that who isn't ever Seampunk said it was.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: It was like shoe polish or something.
• 42:00
  Speaker 13: It shot like I don't come out here, I am.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: I'm a real manner. I don't lie to the ground,
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: I don't not fake. I don't dye my hair and
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: she polish my beard, you know or some ship anyway, Yeah, anyway,
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: whatever works. Yeah, you know what I think we gotta
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: It's weird because when the rock came out, it wasn't
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: Heal Rock.
• 42:26
  Speaker 13: This was not the final Boss Rock. That's the rock
• 42:29
  Speaker 13: I think we saw last and that's the rock I
• 42:31
  Speaker 13: wanted to see, but no, now we got best buddies
• 42:35
  Speaker 13: with Cody Rhodes Rock, even though a couple months ago
• 42:39
  Speaker 13: you're whooping.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: His ass out in the rain, you know, and now
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: you gots the best buds.
• 42:44
  Speaker 14: Oh that was so twenty twenty four, dude, this is
• 42:49
  Speaker 14: new year, New rock, you.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: Know what I said that.
• 42:53
  Speaker 12: The question I think is is that was that stuff
• 42:55
  Speaker 12: just not Cannon yeah, which which would fucking impear?
• 43:00
  Speaker 11: Or that the rock writing himself out of WrestleMania basically some.
• 43:05
  Speaker 14: Other stuff that from from that from raw Yes, I
• 43:09
  Speaker 14: think because like.
• 43:10
  Speaker 11: The last time we saw him, he was doing the
• 43:12
  Speaker 11: throat slit. He was he was he was still the
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: final Boss. This time they didn't never said the words
• 43:17
  Speaker 11: final boss. Uh, Like he turned baby face for all
• 43:22
  Speaker 11: intensive purposes. But like, is that just like, uh one
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: night only kind of thing, or was that him saying, oh,
• 43:31
  Speaker 11: I'm not gonna be involved in WrestleMania, so he's just
• 43:33
  Speaker 11: kind of washing his hands of it instead of progressing
• 43:37
  Speaker 11: the story.
• 43:38
  Speaker 14: I think it's a little bit of the latter. I
• 43:40
  Speaker 14: think it's I think it was twofold one. I think
• 43:42
  Speaker 14: this was more of t k O Board executive Rock
• 43:48
  Speaker 14: that showed up, you know, more so in that role
• 43:50
  Speaker 14: than him showing up quote in character unquote. I think
• 43:54
  Speaker 14: it was just and I also think it was also
• 43:58
  Speaker 14: to a certain extint. I won't say him writing himself out,
• 44:03
  Speaker 14: but at this point a sign that he's pobbably not
• 44:06
  Speaker 14: going to be involved in WrestleMania this year, because if
• 44:10
  Speaker 14: he's going to show up as a heel, then obviously
• 44:13
  Speaker 14: he has to be antagonizing somebody. There has to be
• 44:16
  Speaker 14: some sort of storyline involved in it. Otherwise there's no
• 44:19
  Speaker 14: point in him coming out and being heeliss to the
• 44:22
  Speaker 14: crowd and then just leaving. There has to be something
• 44:26
  Speaker 14: that he's being a heel against. So if he's not
• 44:28
  Speaker 14: participating in WrestleMania, then it doesn't really make much sense
• 44:32
  Speaker 14: for him to come out and be antagonistic to somebody
• 44:35
  Speaker 14: if it's not going to go anywhere. So I think
• 44:38
  Speaker 14: that's part of the reason why he just came out
• 44:39
  Speaker 14: and was like, I'm just gonna do my normal babyface
• 44:42
  Speaker 14: Rock thing and just get the crowd hight for this
• 44:45
  Speaker 14: big show that where we've been promoting the hell out
• 44:48
  Speaker 14: of as opposed to coming out and being in character
• 44:51
  Speaker 14: and doing something more helish and storyline focused, leading people
• 44:56
  Speaker 14: to think that something is going to come.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: About from it when that's not likely.
• 45:01
  Speaker 18: This year, right, a lot of people were saying, well,
• 45:04
  Speaker 18: I saw reports that it's also because of Moana to
• 45:08
  Speaker 18: being out and the new and by the time, you know,
• 45:14
  Speaker 18: soon the live.
• 45:15
  Speaker 13: Action Wiwana coming out, and they you know, they want
• 45:18
  Speaker 13: to keep him face. Uh and you know, I laugh
• 45:21
  Speaker 13: because we'll talk about later. I saw an at I
• 45:25
  Speaker 13: saw like a thing where it's like, oh, Moana, the
• 45:29
  Speaker 13: Rock is face and whole Cogan is gonna be turning
• 45:32
  Speaker 13: heel like what an age?
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: Uh, we live in like twenty twenty.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Five, But that's waly one in the case back in
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: two thousand and three.
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Doyle.
• 45:42
  Speaker 13: Uh, the reason why it's not canon is because it
• 45:46
  Speaker 13: happened on the USA network. That's a different universe. Yeah,
• 45:50
  Speaker 13: this is the this is the Netflix universe. You know,
• 45:53
  Speaker 13: if we're talking multi versus here, this is this is different, man,
• 45:57
  Speaker 13: This is completely different. You know the on he you can.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: And still hate each other exactly. Well, still got the
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: same lived.
• 46:05
  Speaker 13: Though, yeah, yes to the core yeah.
• 46:09
  Speaker 12: And.
• 46:12
  Speaker 14: Everything else is still the same carried over, but somehow
• 46:14
  Speaker 14: the Rock is different.
• 46:15
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, it just it just it just made
• 46:17
  Speaker 12: no fucking sense. Uh uh.
• 46:20
  Speaker 11: You know, I was expecting any minute now, and I
• 46:23
  Speaker 11: kept saying to my wife was watching it, just like.
• 46:25
  Speaker 12: Any minute now, I was just gonna ship all over
• 46:26
  Speaker 12: the crowd, and he just never did. I know, I
• 46:30
  Speaker 12: thought for sure it was one of those building up there.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Hey, great to be here.
• 46:33
  Speaker 11: No, no, you know, my favorite part.
• 46:36
  Speaker 12: Of l A is leaving because you know or whatever,
• 46:42
  Speaker 12: for sure that was coming.
• 46:44
  Speaker 14: I think it's I think it was a pretty safe
• 46:46
  Speaker 14: bet he's probably not gonna be involved with WrestleMania this year.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:50
  Speaker 11: And then because then he comes down after tribal combat there, uh,
• 46:54
  Speaker 11: which I guess we'll talk about that in a second.
• 46:57
  Speaker 11: But and then doesn't do anything, you know, hugs Rome
• 47:00
  Speaker 11: Remaine went presumably oh yeah.
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: Right yeah, if there was any hope for a swerve,
• 47:06
  Speaker 14: I thought it might have happened.
• 47:07
  Speaker 12: Then yeah. Yeah, yeah, they're doing Yeah, let's get into.
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: That, because like, I mean, I was surprised we're getting
• 47:17
  Speaker 13: I mean not only surprised, but like I was kind
• 47:19
  Speaker 13: of happy that this was the opening match.
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: Uh, you know, we're getting Roman reigns versus Solo. So
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: CoA for the Ulafala, the real tribal chief here with
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: the real tribal chief, please stand up.
• 47:34
  Speaker 13: Solo lost but wasn't clean. Nothing was clean about this match.
• 47:40
  Speaker 13: There was everybody's fingers and hands were in this match.
• 47:43
  Speaker 13: And it made me wonder, you know, with the Rock
• 47:48
  Speaker 13: not interfering in this and not having a part really
• 47:51
  Speaker 13: at all in this, and with all the other people
• 47:54
  Speaker 13: who interfered, was it really worth having Solos group loose
• 48:00
  Speaker 13: at war Games to also lose here again? Like so
• 48:04
  Speaker 13: would take another l like because now they're just arried,
• 48:07
  Speaker 13: they're done. They lost all the gold they lost at
• 48:10
  Speaker 13: war Games. They lost, they got they got nothing else
• 48:13
  Speaker 13: they lost. The wise man, where does.
• 48:17
  Speaker 12: Roman Solo has to be over now?
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: It has to be the direction for it to go.
• 48:24
  Speaker 11: I think Jacob and Solo maybe now with each other more,
• 48:30
  Speaker 11: that seems there seems to be a little more possibility there.
• 48:33
  Speaker 12: Does Roman just go back to being a normal wrestler?
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like it's like, what do you do after this? Once?
• 48:41
  Speaker 13: What do you I kind of knew this was gonna
• 48:43
  Speaker 13: happen once we got to this point, and you know
• 48:49
  Speaker 13: there's matches like that where it's just you get you
• 48:51
  Speaker 13: get this build up, you get the buildup, and it
• 48:53
  Speaker 13: finally happens, and it's like.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: No, what like what what? I yeah, what I think
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: is happening.
• 49:02
  Speaker 14: And I say this at the risk of possibly sound
• 49:05
  Speaker 14: like a fool in the future, but I think we
• 49:08
  Speaker 14: are finally, after all these years, coming to the end
• 49:12
  Speaker 14: of the blood line saga. I don't I think that's
• 49:15
  Speaker 14: kind of what this match was, a signaling that we're
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: either in the final chapter or the epilogue of this
• 49:22
  Speaker 14: whole bloodline saga. There is a theyve told just about
• 49:27
  Speaker 14: every story that they possibly can. There really isn't much
• 49:31
  Speaker 14: left to tell, yeh. You know, Romans had his title run.
• 49:36
  Speaker 14: That's been passed on to Cody, the face of this
• 49:38
  Speaker 14: new generation. Jay is branching out on his own as
• 49:41
  Speaker 14: a solo star. You know, he's you know, got probably
• 49:45
  Speaker 14: title world title aspirations in his in his future.
• 49:49
  Speaker 12: Well, plus he's on a different show. You know, you
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: don't have to you don't have five different shows. You
• 49:56
  Speaker 12: can put these people on a different show.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he's all raw.
• 49:59
  Speaker 14: But I think there's also been said that you know,
• 50:02
  Speaker 14: most of the blood line, the og blood line is
• 50:04
  Speaker 14: all going to be shifted to Raw anyway, like Roman, Sammy, Jimmy,
• 50:09
  Speaker 14: I think are gonna Well, Sammy's already on Raw, but
• 50:12
  Speaker 14: I think Roman and Jimmy are also going to be
• 50:14
  Speaker 14: presumably moved to Raw now as well.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: But and also got Yeah, and then you've got the.
• 50:23
  Speaker 14: The newer generation Solo and Jacob and them on SmackDown.
• 50:30
  Speaker 14: So this was probably the final chapter with that. They're done,
• 50:33
  Speaker 14: they're split, They're gonna separate and pursue their own storylines.
• 50:36
  Speaker 14: I think the blood Line saga, as we have been
• 50:38
  Speaker 14: accustomed to for the last three or four years, is
• 50:44
  Speaker 14: winding down and finally coming to an end. So that's
• 50:46
  Speaker 14: why this this match didn't bother me that it started
• 50:49
  Speaker 14: off the that was the first match on Raw, because
• 50:53
  Speaker 14: in a sense, that was in its own way, you
• 50:55
  Speaker 14: could say a passing of the torch a bit like Okay,
• 50:59
  Speaker 14: blood Line has been main eventing everything it's been a
• 51:02
  Speaker 14: part of for years.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: Now, it's winding down. It's no longer the main event thing.
• 51:07
  Speaker 14: Let it kick off the show, get everybody hype up,
• 51:10
  Speaker 14: but let something else take over in the main event.
• 51:12
  Speaker 14: As we finally shift away to a new WWE that
• 51:17
  Speaker 14: isn't centered around the bloodline being the biggest story, right,
• 51:25
  Speaker 14: I Mean, the.
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: Only things I could think of possibly that's left is
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: like you have. I mean, there's nothing left to do
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: with the the OG blood line, but like with Solo Scroup,
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: an internal feud and then yeah yeah, and then the
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: only other thing I can think of is down.
• 51:48
  Speaker 13: The road somewhere they all reunite, but you know, for
• 51:53
  Speaker 13: some cause they come together for something, something bigger, something
• 51:58
  Speaker 13: there's something, a threat bigger that the whole blood line
• 52:01
  Speaker 13: has to come together.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: I don't know, it wasn't blood level threat.
• 52:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah, blood level threat, Like I don't know what the
• 52:07
  Speaker 13: hell it would be that would require.
• 52:10
  Speaker 14: What is w W stanos that calls the freaking blood
• 52:13
  Speaker 14: line Avengers After the Assembly when.
• 52:16
  Speaker 13: They finally like buy another company or you know, and
• 52:21
  Speaker 13: they invade a roster or something, I don't know, you know,
• 52:24
  Speaker 13: the roster gets invaded by them, but they're protected by
• 52:27
  Speaker 13: the bloodline.
• 52:29
  Speaker 14: So John Moxley shows up on an episode of Raw
• 52:31
  Speaker 14: with all of a w Yeah yeah, yeah, and the
• 52:35
  Speaker 14: only thing that can stop them from taking over is
• 52:37
  Speaker 14: the blood line.
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's enough of them.
• 52:43
  Speaker 14: They there's like, uh, there's also enough of w W
• 52:47
  Speaker 14: to fucking stomp their ass out.
• 52:48
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's like five limos show up and it just
• 52:50
  Speaker 13: starts unloading some owens. There's just Paul ham in there
• 52:55
  Speaker 13: holding the door open, Go Go go, like sending them
• 52:58
  Speaker 13: into war Go Go, slapping their asses, just sending him
• 53:01
  Speaker 13: down the fucking ram.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:05
  Speaker 14: What would that say about the rest of the roster though? Yeah,
• 53:08
  Speaker 14: I know all these all these other little pasty white
• 53:11
  Speaker 14: dudes can't do about a W fucking Cody and Drew
• 53:14
  Speaker 14: and Punk and Robins, all of them getting stopped out.
• 53:16
  Speaker 14: Here comes Small and Swat team to the rescue.
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: Them.
• 53:25
  Speaker 13: Have their own fucking show like Thursday Night Samoan or something, Yeah,
• 53:32
  Speaker 13: Samoan Slamming Saturday or something like. Have their own whole episode.
• 53:39
  Speaker 13: It could be an hour long, you know, just an hour.
• 53:41
  Speaker 13: They can have their own title.
• 53:44
  Speaker 12: Turns.
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you can have a little following there.
• 53:46
  Speaker 13: Paul HAMMT could be drunk general manager, like, right there,
• 53:49
  Speaker 13: you've got a whole roster.
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: You got some for the women's division. But you must
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: be sim.
• 53:59
  Speaker 14: I think they're dumb with it. I don't even know
• 54:01
  Speaker 14: if we would. I'd be surprised if we got a
• 54:04
  Speaker 14: Jimmy Solo for you. Honestly, I think.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 54:08
  Speaker 14: I would lightly pencil in as a postile WrestleMania match
• 54:11
  Speaker 14: Solo's to call versus Jacob Potto.
• 54:14
  Speaker 12: Yes, that's what I'm saying. I think is going to
• 54:17
  Speaker 12: be him going I hate you Solo.
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, because they're building to that ship. They're building
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: to that Yeah.
• 54:27
  Speaker 14: Obviously they got a couple of months to go before
• 54:29
  Speaker 14: we get there, so Solos presumably would have to do
• 54:32
  Speaker 14: something between now and then.
• 54:33
  Speaker 11: Obviously, well, you know, hit the whole formation of the Bloodline.
• 54:38
  Speaker 11: Two point zero was with Solo saying losses matter right,
• 54:42
  Speaker 11: and he ain't ship in a minute, So I'm wondering
• 54:45
  Speaker 11: if that's going to come back to bite him in
• 54:47
  Speaker 11: the ass.
• 54:47
  Speaker 14: Yeah, he took the pendance at War Games and he
• 54:51
  Speaker 14: just lost the room in again, So I.
• 54:53
  Speaker 12: Mean, losses matter right, So he might get got the way.
• 54:58
  Speaker 14: He Yeah, it's a matter of how much how long
• 55:02
  Speaker 14: can he buy time before Jacob finally says the worst
• 55:06
  Speaker 14: that you said already.
• 55:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a fucking huge pot.
• 55:12
  Speaker 13: Before this match started, it was ad free until this
• 55:16
  Speaker 13: match started.
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: Then we got our first set of ads. It was
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: seven ads, one of them which was nice was actually
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: an ad for stuff that was on Netflix, Like Netflix
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: actually advertising some of their own stuff, and that's nice
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: because they're they're one of I think of all the
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: streaming networks that doesn't advertise a lot. I mean, Netflix
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: is one of those where you have to just go
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: on and look for ship unless it's the only advertised
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: their yeah big ship.
• 55:46
  Speaker 13: Like you know, like you I knew what Squid Games
• 55:49
  Speaker 13: was coming, but there was just a bunch of shows
• 55:51
  Speaker 13: they're not going to advertise because that's just not how
• 55:53
  Speaker 13: they are. But it was it was nice to see
• 55:56
  Speaker 13: one of those, which I hope we see more of.
• 55:59
  Speaker 13: But it if you've seen the logo for it in
• 56:01
  Speaker 13: the ring, you're most likely you.
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: Got to see an ad for it. So and then
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: and then after that I just lost count because then
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: it was just ads for the rest of the night.
• 56:13
  Speaker 14: But it was pretty much like just another regular episode
• 56:18
  Speaker 14: of Raw.
• 56:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah, but I hated being locked into the app. Like
• 56:22
  Speaker 11: the minute the commercial break, yeah, channel to something else.
• 56:25
  Speaker 11: But now I got to exit the app.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: You know, right, there's no doing that back up, you.
• 56:31
  Speaker 12: Know, and then go back to the app.
• 56:33
  Speaker 14: And you know, yeah, they're gonna have to find some
• 56:35
  Speaker 14: way something about that. Either either people are just gonna
• 56:39
  Speaker 14: have to just eat it and just fucking deal with
• 56:40
  Speaker 14: those ads, or they need to go picture and picture,
• 56:43
  Speaker 14: which is kind of crazy, Like they didn't do picture
• 56:46
  Speaker 14: and picture much on RAW, but NXT the last night
• 56:51
  Speaker 14: pretty much every time they went to commercial it was
• 56:53
  Speaker 14: picture and picture on CW Network television.
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, can tell me.
• 56:57
  Speaker 14: Network television can do picture and picture with commercials but
• 57:01
  Speaker 14: Netflix can't.
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, ma's still fucking sense. Yeah, that's another thing.
• 57:09
  Speaker 13: I I wanted to watch NXT the other night, and
• 57:14
  Speaker 13: I'm not you know, I wasn't familiar that it was
• 57:16
  Speaker 13: on the Cwuh.
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: I had no fucking idea.
• 57:20
  Speaker 13: So I'm going on Sling looking for it, like I
• 57:22
  Speaker 13: keep forgetting, you know. I was like, oh, is it
• 57:24
  Speaker 13: on USA Network?
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: Like an idiot?
• 57:27
  Speaker 13: And I was like that on Peacock, Like where am
• 57:29
  Speaker 13: I missing this? I'm looking all over and then you
• 57:32
  Speaker 13: guys are telling me it's on CW. So it's like,
• 57:34
  Speaker 13: now I gotta download another app. And then you guys
• 57:37
  Speaker 13: are telling me I can't watch unless have subscribed, So
• 57:39
  Speaker 13: unless I gotta watch it tomorrow, the fuck?
• 57:42
  Speaker 14: So why I you know I have or you can
• 57:46
  Speaker 14: get an h D antenna and pick up c W
• 57:49
  Speaker 14: over the year.
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah at there and it's yeah.
• 57:53
  Speaker 13: Free exactly, But like, what when are we ever just
• 57:58
  Speaker 13: gonna have a fucking day where they're all just on
• 58:01
  Speaker 13: one fucking app. You know, I thought I thought, like
• 58:05
  Speaker 13: when the w W app was first launched, I thought
• 58:08
  Speaker 13: the dream, the end goal was to put maybe raw
• 58:12
  Speaker 13: SmackDown on the w W app. We have Raw smacked Down,
• 58:16
  Speaker 13: n x T, the pay per views, everything right here.
• 58:20
  Speaker 12: But the landscape has changed.
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: Does Yeah, And it's kind of crazy to think they're
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: making money everywhere.
• 58:28
  Speaker 11: It's kind of crazy to think that the w W
• 58:30
  Speaker 11: E network was doing that ship uh years ago streaming,
• 58:34
  Speaker 11: you know, and you know Netflix was still sending DVDs
• 58:38
  Speaker 11: in the mail.
• 58:39
  Speaker 12: I think at that point.
• 58:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's crazy how I had ahead of ship they
• 58:43
  Speaker 11: were in that regard anyway.
• 58:45
  Speaker 5: And now if you want to watch I haven't really
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: dug into it, but if you want to watch a
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: W stuff, you can now get that on HBO Max.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: Yeh.
• 58:55
  Speaker 13: So those people who were into a W So does
• 58:58
  Speaker 13: that mean when uh? Similar to peacocks, So when AAW
• 59:02
  Speaker 13: is having a pay per view, we can just log
• 59:03
  Speaker 13: into Max and watch it now.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Nope, I don't think so.
• 59:08
  Speaker 14: Nope, I believe that is not the case because I
• 59:10
  Speaker 14: do not believe World's in was well, no, World's end
• 59:13
  Speaker 14: was before the switch, but I do not believe it
• 59:18
  Speaker 14: may be the case, but it may be kind of
• 59:21
  Speaker 14: like how UFC is with ESPN, where you can watch
• 59:26
  Speaker 14: the UFC pay per views through ESPN, but you still
• 59:29
  Speaker 14: have to pay for it like a pay per view, right,
• 59:32
  Speaker 14: That may be what the case is on Max. It'd
• 59:35
  Speaker 14: be nice if you could just log into Max and
• 59:37
  Speaker 14: just stream it. That would be nothing but a win
• 59:40
  Speaker 14: for AW because they will get more people tuning in
• 59:43
  Speaker 14: and watching. Because I can say for myself personally, as
• 59:47
  Speaker 14: long as I have to pay for an AW pay
• 59:50
  Speaker 14: per view, I will not pay for it. But if
• 59:53
  Speaker 14: it's there on an app that I'm already subscribed to
• 59:55
  Speaker 14: in paying a monthly fee two and I can just
• 59:57
  Speaker 14: tune in the stream, I will actually start to into
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 14: a W pay per views.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: But that's just me.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't think I'm the only person that feels
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 14: that way or.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 12: Something like that.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, mm, twelve of those that's six hundred
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 11: dollars a year exactly.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: And when your competition is over here, like, hey.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 12: Just ticket to wrestle.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 14: Exactly, And when your competition is already like hey, just
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 14: log into this thing.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: It's up there for streaming.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 14: And you're still telling people, Yeah, it's on this thing
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 14: that you're already paying for, but pay a little bit
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 14: extra for it.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: You know that that's that's a losing argument, right, Uh, all.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 13: Right, so we got uh after this match, after all
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 13: these people interfered between most of the bloodline, uh from
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 13: both ends.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: We had Ko and was it Cody Rhodes just everybody
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: it was in this and then uh, Roman Rains finally
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: got the wind and.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 14: I Kalo seemed like an odd choice to interfere in
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 14: this match, I know, right to me, that seemed kind
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 14: of random, Like what what beef do you still have
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 14: with Roman?
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: I know you've talked.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 14: About it, but I didn't think he would insert himself
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 14: into this one. You're already preoccupied with Cody and them.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 14: But yeah, it was an excuse to get those two
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 14: guys on the show.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I and then and then I went to the
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 5: bathroom when this was happening, but I could hear it
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: of the rock I guess driving the Ulfalla and putting
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: it on Roman. Uh. And the fact that we kind
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: of were like some of us were like waiting for
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 5: something to fucking happen. Something, Here comes the turn, here
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: comes something. Were keeping our eyes on Paul Hammond. This
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: is what we've been building for you guys, right, the
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: rocks here, every this is it. Something's gonna happen. We're
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: getting ready for Wrestle media. Let's lay out the storyline
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: for the year. This is the beginning. This is the
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: first page of the storyline. What's gonna happen? Fucking nothing, nothing, nothing.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 13: We got Face Rock walking around, hanging out with Travis
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 13: Scott backstage. Just okay, moving on, Let's get to something
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 13: a little bit more uplifting.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: We have.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: John c John Cena. We knew he was coming back,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 5: We knew this is his beginning of his farewell tour.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: You know, I didn't expect him to get in the
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 5: ring and wrestle with anybody, just expected a promo. Uh
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 5: what we got. And he talks about joining the Royal Rumble.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: And I mean, I don't know about you guys, but
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: pretty damn high odds or you know, in favor of
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: John's you know, winning the Rubble and I even, to
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: me believe in it. I'd pick him in the top
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: three of winning right now.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 13: That's how much I believe. But yeah, I got a
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 13: huge pop from the crowd, and they kind of tested
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 13: the the I like it when they do this, when
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 13: they they kind of test the crowd out of how
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 13: they feel about certain matches. You know, he says, you
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 13: know about maybe him and Cody Rhodes, and you get
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 13: to feel that out how the crowd reacts, maybe him
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 13: versus Logan Paul. We saw how the crowd didn't like
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 13: that either, you know, So I do like that maybe
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 13: that they do that kind of test.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 5: The crowd a little.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 13: You know, let us tell you how much we fucking
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 13: love it or hate it. The crowd is going to
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 13: be brutally fucking honest, and there's nothing you can do
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 13: about it, Isn't that right?
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: Hug?
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 11: Uh?
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 13: Did you guys notice I noticed I was talking about,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 13: you know, how crisp and clean.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: This was. Uh.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 13: I don't know if it was just this arena that
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 13: they were in, but they had these lights that were
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 13: going in between the aisles and between your seats.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: And they had these synchronized lights. Now do you guys
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: know anything about this. It was just the arena that
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 5: they were in because they were saying.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 14: That's unique to the into it though, is it?
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: High tech?
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, that's that arena just opened up this past fall.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 14: It was still when I went out to l A
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 14: last summer to visit my brother and we drove past
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 14: it and it was just it was they were putting
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 14: the finishing touches on. It was essentially all, you know,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 14: just about built. This was like end of July and
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 14: they were already promoting a Bruno Mars concert for that
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 14: opening night. And obviously it opened up I want to
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 14: say maybe September or something like that is when it
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 14: opened up. So the the arena's only been opened for
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 14: a few months. And as Doll said, it's the most
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 14: high tech arena. Obviously, he's you know, Steve Balmer, owner
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 14: of the La Clippers and you know, insane billionaire, so
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 14: you know he put every ounce of the latest tech
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 14: and everything that you can imagine into this arena.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it's a dope ass arena. Like beautiful arena. Like
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 14: some of those drone shots that we saw during the broadcast,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 14: they were the drone literally flew from outside of the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 14: arena into the arena and I think actually into the
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 14: seating area and one shot like it's an open arena,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 14: which you can do in La with their beautiful weather,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 14: but yeah.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: It's a fire.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, that part too, but it's definitely, uh, that's
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 14: something that's unique to that arena. That's not something you're
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 14: gonna see all raw every week.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 13: Okay, so yeah, I like to keep my eyes peeled
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 13: now at these other arenas because now this arena specifically
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 13: is going to stand out to me, and next time
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 13: we see it, I'm like, oh, yeah, I remember when
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 13: they did the role here and I think from what
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 13: I heard, I think there's an app that you're you
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 13: can download ww. As you download that, you can hold
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 13: your phone up and it synchronizes your lights, your you're
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 13: on your camera, it tells you.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: When to hold them up. And I think they do
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: that as some concerts now too.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they sporting events concerts. Yeah they did that.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's pretty cool. Maybe I could see
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: them doing something unique maybe for the the white you know,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 5: with everybody having.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 14: Hold your phone up for the fireflies, is that people
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 14: don't already understand that side to do it right don't
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 14: think anybody needs an app to tell them to turn
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 14: on your flash light now.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Okay, So after we got a basically a great
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: promo from John Cena talking you know, people he wants
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 5: to kind of feud with. He even brought up you know,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: uh see him punk again, which I was like, oh, yes,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: one more time, but you remember it's we have one
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: year left of SINA.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 13: And I always think, you know, if you know, there's
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 13: certain wrestlers that we know when they sign on at
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 13: a certain age, you know, like they're on they're on
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 13: their way out, and we know that they only got
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 13: so many matches left, so many bumps left to take
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 13: on the card. Uh, and you kind of don't. I
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 13: kind of don't want to see the matches wasted, you know.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 13: I know, like guys like Seampunk aren't gonna be around
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 13: much longer. I know, guys like aj Styles aren't going
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 13: to be around much longer. John Cena, Randy Orton, you
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 13: know you put him up there too. These guys aren't
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 13: going to be around much longer. So whatever handful of.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: Matches these guys are doing, they kind of matter to me. Uh,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: don't don't waste a long few I don't want to
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: see like a set of seven matches with fucking Logan
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: Paul or some shit like, you know, give me some
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: one off matches. There was a time when John Cena.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 13: Was a I think, yeah, it was the United States
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 13: Champion because he's never held Intercontinental, which has prevented him
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 13: from being a Grand Slam Grand Slam champion.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 13: Uh, he was giving title shots out like I think
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 13: it was like every week on Raw when he had
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 13: the United States title. It's crazy now with the how
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 13: high the I know, I'm going off trail a little bit,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 13: but how high the prestige of the inner Continental title
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 13: has been within the past two years that I think
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 13: John Cena going against somebody like bron Breaker for that
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 13: hitter Continental title to get that Grand Slam win. You know,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 13: fuck it, let's stir things up. Let's put him in
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 13: there with a triple threat with him and Seamus, you know,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 13: for the IC title. Let these guys get that fucking
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 13: Grand Slam win.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I was gonna I was gonna say,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 12: I see where you're going.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 13: But there's so many he can go, Yeah, there's so
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 13: many he can go. For the seventeenth world title. He
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 13: can you know if he wins the word rumble, he'll
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 13: he'll beat Stone Colds, Steve Austin's record for winning rumbles,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 13: So like, there's so many records he could break within
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 13: this last year, and it's like, use him very carefully,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 13: you know. I don't want to see just I don't
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 13: want to see wasted matches are people.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: There's certain handfuls of people like he's wrestled before. I
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 5: be willing to see again. I love to see him
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: versus Punk again, but there's you know, some I don't
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 5: care to ever see so well.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 11: I mean I think I would hope that they're going
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 11: to balance the nostalgia with the seeing. I mean, yes, yeah, well,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 11: I mean sure, we want to see him with Punk,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 11: We want to see him with Seth, we want to
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 11: you know, but we also want to see him with
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 11: bron Breaker or Ludvig Kaiser or Sam Day and even
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 11: I don't think they ever worked together, really, did they?
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 12: Or Kevin Owens or or even younger.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 11: People really you know, yeah, I guess Sammy and Ko
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 11: aren't exactly Spring Chickens anymore of themselves or even fucking
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 11: uh who just lost the n XT title.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 12: Hope they'll probably get called.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: Up right.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 12: Williams, Trick Williams, Yeah, I like seeing it. Trick Williams
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 12: would be fun.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I am interested in bron Breaker and and Gunther.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 13: I think those would be two matches I'd be interested
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 13: to see seeing him.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: Both of them are title holders. So and like he said,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 5: he's just like, I either got to win the money
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 5: in the bank. I gotta win the elimination Chamber, or
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 5: I put myself in the Royal Rumble, you know, the
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 5: lottery of lotteries. That's the quickest way to a world title.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: And it's so true, like when you're when you're playing
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: the video game, you're just like, oh man, how do
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: I get a world title shot? It's like I know,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 5: like three ways you know, to get him real quick.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 5: But yeah, like let's not squander this last year we
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 5: have with him. I'm excited for this. He's got the
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: buzz cut back to Yeah, so, uh, anything else you
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 5: guys want to weigh in on that before I move on.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 14: As far as John Cena, I think he's it's long
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 14: favorite for the Rumble to win that. I think that's
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 14: probably the easier one for him to win rather than
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 14: putting him into something brutal like an elimination chamber match,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 14: which carries a higher risk of injury and would require
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 14: him to do more lifting in that match than a
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 14: rumble or any other thing like a money in the
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 14: bank ladder match, which definitely carries a higher risk of injury.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 14: So you know, if he's going to get a shot
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 14: at the title, then the best chance of it is
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 14: probably through him winning the Rumble, And with the Rock
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 14: seemingly out for WrestleMania, then that means that opens up
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 14: a slot for a high profile name in a high
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 14: profile match, and John Cenic can easily slot right in
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 14: there in a match against Gunter or Cody. So my
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 14: guess is, if I'm putting money on something right now,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 14: I put it on him winning the Rumble.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, we got We got a video package from
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 13: Logan Paul about moving the raw didn't get too well
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 13: received by the crowd. They did a bunch of there
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 13: was I'm not going to go through the list. There's
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 13: a bunch of celebrities that were there. That was pretty
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 13: cool seeing a bunch of celebrities in the crowd.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Well, but they showed, they showed.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 11: Uh McCaulay Counkin's brother, right, but they don't.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 12: He was next to somebody.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 5: They didn't acknowledge the brother at all.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 12: He just won a Golden Globe the fucking night before.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 12: I think they really fucking dropped the ball on that one.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 19: Yeah. Uh, like show the Golden Globe winner for christ.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we had Gabriel and Glaciers. Was there, Ashton Kutcher,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 13: you know some people from boy Meet's World. The list
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 13: goes on, there's just a lot of people.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 5: Uh oh. And then and then in the crowd some
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 5: of the biggest.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 13: Celebrities of all Ray Miss ceeal l A Knight, the
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 13: war Raiders. You know people who work there, just you know,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 13: you have all these people who are going across the roster,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 13: these uh these you know, ship jumpers, you know, but
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 13: yet on here they have to buy a ticket like
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 13: everybody else. Yeah, you work here, but you don't work
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 13: here today, so buy that ticket.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 5: Let's let's see your ticket. Can you imagine that? Like
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 5: youre going to work and I work here? Do you
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 5: work today? No? Well, then where is your ticket? Uh?
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 5: Let's see here? Uh yeah, And then now we're moving
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: into the uh live Morgan uh Re Ripley match. You know,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 5: I I really enjoyed this match. I I didn't think
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 5: think that Ria was gonna win this.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 13: To be honest, I think that uh, I thought that
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 13: was gonna be more of like a maybe something to rumble.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 5: I didn't expect, uh for the title to change hands.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 12: Had to be the end of this. This has gone
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 12: on way too long.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you're right. They they talked about how many times.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they talked about how many times they faced each other,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 13: and yeah, it's just she's gotten slipped away how many times?
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 13: You know, Uh, the fact that there wasn't a lot
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 13: of Judgment Day interfering.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 5: It was just you know, the two of them. Yeah,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm glad. Can we can we move on? Now?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: Can we?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 5: You know, if they're going to focus on maybe breaking
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 5: Judgment Day up, focus on that and leave Ria out
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 5: of it. And maybe because I think the reason why
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: they put the title back on Ria is because they're
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 5: looking to bring Charlotte and Becky Lynch back for the Rumble,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 5: and they I guess they wanted somebody who might be
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 5: a little higher tier and they think of Ria more
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 5: than more of a higher quality than I guess they do.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 11: They just did I think Becky is more likely to
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 11: feud would Live because they kind of have a natural.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 12: Few to go with.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 11: Because Live was saying how she retired Becky Lynch. You know,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 11: all it takes is Becky Lynch to go.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 12: You said you retired me, But here I am, you know, right.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Charlotte and and I have history, you know,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 5: plenty of history.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 14: So yeah, I just don't want to see them running
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 14: back in WrestleMania again.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: And they're done that.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 14: I like that's and that's the one. Don't get me wrong.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 14: I'm happy that is the champion again, you know. But
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 14: now obviously this is being set up for WrestleMania for
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 14: her to face somebody, And yeah, all the talk has
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 14: been about Charlotte and Becky coming back and which one
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 14: of them can she face. She's already faced both of
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 14: them at WrestleMania literally the last two years, she's face
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 14: to both of them. Beat beat Charlotte at thirty nine
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 14: and defended against Becky at forty. Yeah, so now she
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 14: got to run it back against one of them again
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 14: at forty one. I just don't want to see that again.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 14: They were great matches, but give me something new.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 11: Right, I want to see Charlotte Tiffy.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 5: I want to see that too. I'm intrigued by that once.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that's something new, that's interesting. I would be here
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 14: for that match. Yeah, running for me.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: Hm for a while, I will say, does it?
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 13: I mean I feel like when Rio was Championship, I
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 13: feel like she went through the roster.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 12: I just feel like the rosters.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 14: I can think of two names right now that she
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 14: can Bianca or Jade.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, probably really Bianca would.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 14: If I had to pick an opponent for real at WrestleMania,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 14: Bianca Belair would be the best one.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: I think. I think that's probably the best.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 5: Match right now most obviously.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 14: Yeah, but I'm I'm assuming that Jade's going to come
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 14: back for before WrestleMania.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: We haven't had any word going on.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I think she's I mean, she's still out.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: I mean I don't think.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 14: Yeah, but we still don't, like, you know, you haven't
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 14: heard anything official about an actual injury. Though usually when
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 14: people out with legitimate injuries, we know about it. This
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 14: one still seems to be more storyline than anything.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think she's posting out.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 11: He's on vacation in the Caribbean on her Instagram, you know,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 11: which I only subscribe to for the show, of course.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 14: I think she's just been written off TV just for
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 14: storyline purposes and just nothing for her to do as
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 14: of right now. So or this is part of the storyline,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 14: So she's just out for right now. I'm assuming whenever
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 14: the whenever it's time for that storyline to pick back up,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 14: she'll be right back on TV. Maybe reason maybe they
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 14: put me in a triple threat match or something.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 5: But oh so, at the end of the match, she's
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 5: up the top of the stays there and.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 13: Music hits and it's It's the Undertaker. It's the goddamn Undertaker.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 13: I think they were supposed to have beck He Lynch
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 13: come out, from what I was told, but instead they
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 13: won't with the Undertaker, American badass Undertaker, to be exactly.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was cute. It was a nice little a
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: nice little little moment for the fans.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 5: Right yeah. Uh, then they go, I think there's a
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 5: segment backstage with Alpha Academy, and then we see Travis
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 5: Scott in the crowd smoking a blunt and his handing
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 5: trying to hand it off to Jay Us when jay
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 5: Uson comes out because, uh.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 11: I think maybe the only time I've ever been entertained
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 11: by Pat McAfee was him going like.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 12: It looks like he's got some sage the right.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 14: Oh my god, that's what Travis Scott was doing, just
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 14: sage in the arena.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: Yo.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: That was fucking funny. But yeah, now we're going into
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 5: the Jay Usso Drew McIntyre fight. To me, guys, this
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: was probably the dullest match of the night. It was.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 5: The arena was quiet for this match. After after the
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 5: entrances were over. It's pretty quiet. But I'm gonna let
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 5: you two guys discuss it.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 5: I go downstairs and grab a drink and so I'll
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 5: right back.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 3: I don't say anything.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: No fucking open.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: Air apared awkward silence for like a whole minute.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 5: Fuck you guys.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 12: I was surprised j One.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 11: Actually, I thought I thought Drew was gonna uh I
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 11: thought Drew was gonna win fairly.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 12: He's handily.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: Uh So I was.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 12: Kind of I'm surprised all the baby faces won over.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not surprised that Jay One.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 14: I think I said it in the discord, like if
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 14: this is gonna be the year that Jay since to
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 14: the next level and becomes a like genuine world title continent,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 14: then he has to start by winning this match because
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 14: if he loses this match, which it didn't seem like
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 14: this was a few that was going to carry on,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 14: you know, one of these multi month fus that was
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 14: gonna extend to multiple matches, given how Drew seemingly getting
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 14: involved in everybody shit right now, he didn't seem like
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 14: him and j was that high on the list of things. So,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 14: like I said, if Jay was gonna be taken seriously
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 14: and take that next step, he has to win a
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 14: match like this because if he gets you know, all
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 14: this hype, all this fans fair, but then he gets
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 14: faced put up against a main eventor like Drew McIntyre
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 14: and then just gets smacked down by him, then you
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 14: know he's knocked back basically back down to the mid caards.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: So if he's got to now what I want to say.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 11: Drew's just coming back from uh being out after the
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 11: hell in the Southside. I just thought they were going
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 11: to continue his upward momentum, and I thought I thought
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 11: Jay could afford a lot. J I think it's gotten
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 11: to the point where he can afford to He can
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 11: always afford to lose.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 14: I think the same thing about Drew. I think Drew
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 14: can afford to take a loss here, both of them. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 14: I think he could take a loss here and then
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 14: immediately just pivot back to the other people that he was,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 14: you know, beefing with. You know, he can immediately pivot
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 14: right back and getting in Cody's face for somebody else
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 14: and resuming whatever previous encounters or a previous few de
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 14: he's had with them.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: So I don't know that this one hurts them that much.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 14: But I will say I don't know that this match
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 14: did as much for Jay as I was hoping that
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 14: it would have, because, as Wayne said, like, this match
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 14: was pretty lackluster. Was he wasn't all that going for it,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 14: And then the fact that Jay won with a schoolboy
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 14: roll up as opposed to hitting the finisher, it doesn't
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 14: feel as like a definitive victory like it should have been.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 14: It almost seems to open the door up that there
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 14: could be a rematch later that in which Drew would
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 14: go over.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 12: I was kind of thinking that just because of the
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 12: way the match.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it wasn't as the it wasn't really that definitive.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 14: You know, Babyface goes over type victory. So that is
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 14: concerning to me for Jay, and as even in general,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 14: just in the largest sense about Jay, as over as
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 14: he is, as popular as he is, as huge reactions
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 14: that he gets every time his music hits, his matches
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 14: just aren't quite measuring up.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: To me.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 14: And I'm not here to say that he sucks in
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 14: the ring, not by any means, but there's just something
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 14: missing from his actual matches when they happen. Other outside
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 14: of when he beat uh bron Breaker and became continental champion,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 14: he just hasn't really had that those moments in the
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 14: ring and as an individual yet other than like I said,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 14: the I C title win.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 12: No, I agree with you, I'm not. I mean, yeah,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 12: I'm not.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 11: I don't dislike him or anything, but I'm not nearly
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 11: as high on him as the poppy gets from the crowd.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 11: You know, I don't like him as much as the crowd. Yeah,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 11: I just feel like there's something missing.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I still like I still like him,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 14: and I still want to see him ascend and and
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 14: you know, rise up the roster.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: But he it's there's something missing. He needs something. I
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: think either either matches or stronger finish or something. Yeah,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: we all.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 11: Had that USO versus USO WrestleMania match circled as like possible.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 12: Match to the Year candidate, and it was just a stinker.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, you're right. He hasn't had He hasn't had
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 12: a I can't.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 11: Think of any matches where it's like that was a
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 11: fucking great Jay Uzo match or whatever.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 14: He hasn't had those defining moments again, like other than
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 14: winning the Intercontinental Championship.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: Finally, that's it he needs.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 14: He needs some more clear cut, standout performances, some definitive wins,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 14: and even within the matches themselves.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: He kind of needs to start doing more in the matches.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: He needs to.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 14: I think he does need to expand his repertoire a
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 14: little bit in the matches, because it seemed like Jay's
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 14: offense is all pretty much super kicks the combo punches
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 14: before he does the little pop lock and hits a
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 14: punch USO splash spear. Yeah right, that that's like his
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 14: entire repertoire in every match other than that he's getting
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 14: beat on by his opponent. I think he needs to
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 14: expand that a little bit. I think he needs a
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 14: better finisher. He can't be out there just with the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 14: USO splash and and and maybe the splash, but the
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 14: spear that's just ripping off Roman. I think he needs.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 14: I think he needs something more. I don't know what
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 14: it is, but I really hope he finds it. That's
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 14: something else that can take him to that truly take
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 14: him to that next level and solidify him as a
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 14: main Eventor he's got everything else.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 5: All yea delete yet feet delete. I don't know. There's
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 5: something he has. He has something he could have called
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 5: the Eater year later defeat. I'm trying to nicknames for
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 5: his new finisher.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: What new finisher. He's got the USO splash and the spear,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: I know, but.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 5: He needs a new one. We gotta give him a
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 5: new one.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: Hell take the rock bottom do something.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 14: He just needs He just needs either either the splash
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 14: needs to become a definitive finisher that he starts beating
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 14: people with, or he needs another move as a finisher.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 14: The spirit can be the setup. It could be a
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 14: combo thing. Hit you with the spear, go up top,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 14: hit the splash, but they need to solidify that. And
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 14: i think he needs to also expand his repertoire in
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 14: the ring.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 13: All right, so what do you guys, what do you
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 13: guys thinking that's a pretty good match.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 5: You guys enjoyed that one over?
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know, no we said that match.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 14: I can't remember anything that was lackluster talking about how
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 14: the finish was blackluster with the schoolboy roll up.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 5: So I wasn't wrong for getting up and leaving the conversation.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 13: Uh, all right, we have Kathy interviewing Gabriel and Glaciers backstage,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 13: and then he was cut off by Kobe Kingson and
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 13: Xavier Woods, which they haven't really been doing much since,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 13: just walking around backstage getting grilled by other people on
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 13: the roster.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 12: Fun.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I wish it'll be fun for four months,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 5: but yeah, not for four months.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 12: I just I think that's somewhere.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 5: I think there's a stain.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 14: But uh yeah, it's about time for him to go
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 14: somewhere with this storyline, Like, we get it. Everybody hates them,
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 14: everybody's dunking on them. At some point, when are they
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 14: going to get tired of being dunked on? And this
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 14: just has going and translate to something in the ring.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 14: So that way we can know if it's something we
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 14: should really be giving a shit about, or is this
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 14: just gonna become like a comedy gimmick.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna throw something out there. It's crazy, right, it's
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 13: absolutely crazy. Right.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 5: You have an angry Xavier Woods and angry pissed off
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 5: Kobe Kingston. They're in the rumble, and there's tossing fuckers
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 5: out right, tossing people out whose music fucking hits. But Biggie,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 5: Biggie's music fucking hits.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 13: The biggest fucking pop you'll ever fucking get. They have
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 13: no idea he's medically fucking cleared. We have no idea
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 13: he's fucking medically cleared. He comes out, he tosses both
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 13: their asses the fuck out, he gets thrown out.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 5: You know, we know Biggie is not going to the
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 5: top being flash for.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: But the moment, the moment, Drey, I believe it when
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: I see it.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 14: Until then, I'm not getting invested in any type of
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 14: big e and ring talk.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: I'm just not if it happens cool. Other than that,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: I'm just not.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 14: I'm not falling for it because that's the it's the
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 14: thing that everybody's jumping for us. Oh they did this, biggie,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 14: it is Big E. Everybody's just jumping towards the Big
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 14: E moment. If it happens, it happens, I feel.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: Big.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 14: I mean until then, Kofe and Xavier need to stand
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 14: on their own in this new storyline.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 11: I think even if he does get clear, which I
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 11: doubt he will, But even if he does, I don't
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 11: know how I could possibly enjoy a Big E match
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 11: because I'll just be terrified the whole fucking time, you know,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 11: Like and if he touches his neck and him fuck
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 11: he heard it.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Like, I just feel like that'll be so stressful,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 12: you know for me. You know, Daniels in the same way.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 12: Anytime I watch a manage with him, it's always said, oh.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 5: No, oh yeah, like edge. I mean, especially when they've
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 5: been out for so long yea and they.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 12: Come back, especially with a serious injury.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just it's just like fun's exactly.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 5: I remember, like, what point did it become that way
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 5: with the Undertaker that every time he stepped in the ring, like,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 5: oh God, be careful, he's so fucking brittle. You know,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 5: they bring you out of the casket once again.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: Goldberg nearly killed him in the ring.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 13: I was like, they bring you out, they freeze you,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 13: and they bring you out once a year, and then
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 13: they put you back in the freezer.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 5: That's literally what they were doing with the Undertaker for
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 5: like ten years. They were just using him once a year.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 5: Then Vince was like, all right, put him back in
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 5: the freezer. You know A a AW is the same
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 5: thing with Jr. You know, they use him a couple
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 5: of times, and they put him back in the freezer.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 12: They should leave him in the fraser.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 5: Yep, that's fucked up. Ah, all right, guys, let's talk
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 5: about let's talk about the Hogan in the room. So
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 5: Hogan comes out what he deserves and and you know,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 5: you know, out of this whole segment.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 13: He comes out and he's trying to promote his beer,
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 13: and he's trying to tell us that, you know, we've
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 13: been there for him all these years, and you know,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 13: and I don't.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 5: Know, he's promoting things on Netflix and he gets food
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 5: to hell.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 13: Oh and poor poor Jimmy Hart, just the innocent man,
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 13: just stand there waving that flag, just trying his best.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 12: Well, he hitched his wagon to Hogan years ago. Let's
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 12: not I mean Jimmy Hart. I've met him, very very,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 12: very nice man. But let's not say he's totally innocent
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 12: because he hitched his wagon.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 3: You Wow, so many people say like, oh, poor Jimmy Hart.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 14: I'm like, hold up, Jimmy Harp and Hogan's homie since
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 14: the nineties.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 12: And it's not like the last decade.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 5: What did uh? What did Dwight from the Office say
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 5: his famous line, I hitched my horse to a wagon?
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 5: Are here? I hitched my wagon to a horse with
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 5: no legs.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 3: It's not like Hogan came out and endorsed Trump and
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: then and Jimmy was like, Nah, this ain't it. Chief.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that man has been quiet and just sat back
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 14: with through all of Hogan's shenanigans and stuff. Ain't never
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 14: not spoken out once against him at all, just right
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 14: by his side through every step of this whole thing,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 14: through every end bomb And exactly, I don't feel not
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 14: not one lick of sympathy for Jimmy Hard. And I'm
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 14: not saying that he's, you know, a terrible person or
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 14: anything like that like Hogan is, but no, I'm he
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 14: those are earned strays he's catching. Yeah, agreed, So he
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 14: had plenty of time, plenty of opportunities to step away.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 12: You know, it's not a phenomena.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: This is happen.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 5: Backpedal here.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 13: Do you think if take because I know, like it's
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 13: fucking weird that once, I I don't like talking about it,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 13: but I'm gonna mention a little bit when people started
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 13: talking mixing politics and wrestling, all of a sudden, now.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 5: Your favorite wrestler you don't like anymore because they this
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 5: is their political stance, right.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 13: I hear that about a lot of certain wrestlers over
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 13: the fuck this guy because they're into this person and
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 13: they stand for that right. And do you guys think
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 13: he still would have gotten booed as much as he
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 13: did if you put all the political stuff aside?
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 5: Do you still think he would have.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 12: Gotten I think he would have gotten food, maybe not
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 12: as heavily.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I think it would have been a bit more
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 14: of a mixed bag because one, it's all those boos
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 14: that he got was not just because of his political stance,
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 14: Because there was another guy who had had the same
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 14: political stance as him who came out and got cheered, right,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 14: And I was the undertaker he was he was he
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 14: was out for Trump as well. Now, the difference between
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 14: Hogan and Trump, I mean Hogan and Undertaker is that
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 14: Hogan did it on a much more visible, much larger
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 14: platform when he did it at the RNC, as opposed
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 14: to Taker, who did it on his own podcasts, because
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 14: I saw discussion afterwards, and there were some people who
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 14: genuinely did not even know that Undertaker was a Trump supporter,
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 14: like they had no idea about it. So if it's
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 14: not too hard to imagine that there are still there's
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 14: still a considerable number of people who are completely unaware
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 14: of Trump, of Undertaker's political stance, either they're just not
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 14: into politics, they don't follow his podcasts, or nothing that
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 14: could have very easily just gone right past people completely unnoticed. Hogan,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 14: on the other hand, did it at a like I said,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 14: at the RNC and a very large platform where you know,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 14: it was hard to not notice, whether you saw it
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 14: then at the moment or news coverage afterwards, and then
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 14: added everything else about I'm gonna say you also did
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 14: add in everything else that's come out about Hogan over years,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 14: him being racist, him being a liar, him being an
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 14: absolute douchebag backstage, and how do people he's held out
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 14: all this stuff combined together is why Hogan's name is
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 14: complete shit.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: Right now with most wrestling fans.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 14: It's not just the politics, it's everything else as opposed
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 14: to Undertaker, who is still pretty much as a wrestling figure,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 14: very well beloved, very well respected backstage. Like there aren't
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 14: stories about Undertaker holding people down or being shitty or
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 14: being racist or anything like that.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: It's just, oh, he came out for Trump.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 11: Well, the difference is between the Hogan appearance and the
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 11: Taker appearance.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 12: Don't end there either.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 20: I mean Hogan came out to shill his shitty beer,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 20: came out to try to put over a younger talent,
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 20: you know, to give the nod of approval to the
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 20: next generation or whatever, you know, so that there is
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 20: a pretty.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 12: Big chasm between.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 11: I mean, they're comparable, don't get me wrong, but they're
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 11: not totally similar either.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 14: But also I think, but imagine, I think if Holgan
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 14: would have come out and even tried to give a
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 14: nod to somebody else, I think he probably STI would
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 14: have gotten booed.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, no, yes, well yeah, there's.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: Like if you can try to come out there and
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: yeat with Jay Uso.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 12: Have you heard the delivers. Now they're going to turn
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 12: him heel and have.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 11: Them Hey Doyle, how do they not know the difference
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 11: between heat?
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 12: Heat and go away heat?
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: Get the out of here? Heat?
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 5: Sound like, what does it sound like to you? Guys?
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 14: Me tell you something, brother, that sounds like absolute fuck
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 14: you heat, and that we don't like you and want
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 14: to see you get beat heat.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 3: It's fuck you, We don't want you hear heat.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 14: And then in California of all places, mm hmm, what
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 14: does they think was gonna happen?
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And Doyle was saying that they did mention that,
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 5: like now they're talking about turning him here, turning him
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 5: here for what for?
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 11: What?
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 12: Like what we don't just about just not have him
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 12: on the show?
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, I just don't put him on television.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, don't put the racist old white man on TV?
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 5: How hard is that? Trivileage? How hard is that?
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 13: Keep him backstage? He can, he can give him something
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 13: to do backstage, give him a headset that's not connected anything, like.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: Don't give him ship.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 14: If y'all got a documentary and y'all y'all want a
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 14: documentary on some old ship, and y'all need a old
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 14: man a getting to talk about it. Okay, Fine, y'all
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 14: gonna run now commercials for his beer. Fine, he's paid
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 14: the money whatever, so we gotta suck it up for
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 14: twenty seconds. Fine, but no, we don't need him involved
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 14: in the current product in any way, shape, form, or fashion.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 14: Y'all don't need him in the audience. We don't need
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 14: shots of him there. We don't need him trying to
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 14: and there's nobody to capitalize on this hill heat. We
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 14: don't need none of that shit. Y'all got plenty of
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 14: other legends that y'all can go to for stuff like that.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 3: If y'all want to.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 14: Dust off a legend, let seeing him, motherfucker, go back
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 14: to Florida and sit.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 3: Nobody wants to be Nobody wants to see him anymore.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 5: You won't be seeing much of him anymore. I guess
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 5: they're gonna be taking him off TV for a while,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 5: like for a while forever. But he's not on TV, right,
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 5: I know, That's what I mean. Like when I read this,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 5: I was like, Okay.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 12: They're taking me off TV aside.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's like they're like, we're gonna take him off
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 13: TV and we're gonna make him a heal. I'm like,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 13: none of those, None of those made sense? And who
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 13: wrote this? Like, and I've seen it in multiple sources.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 13: I'm like, what are you talking about? Like is he
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 13: entering the rumble? And I'm just not fucking aware of it?
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 3: Like is there?
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 5: Am I missing something here?
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 12: Like entrance way?
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 14: Yeah, unless there was maybe some tentative plans for him
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 14: to have possibly been featured on TV more, given that
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 14: they have this deal with him with his.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 3: Beer and neffling stuff.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 14: Maybe there were some plans that're like, hey, we're gonna
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 14: use Hogan more now and stuff, and then they saw
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 14: that reaction of like, oh, we're gonna back up off
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 14: of those plans.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 5: Now now had Stone Cold out there promoting his beer, but.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 5: And then you got the Rock out there promoting Teamana.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 12: And then doing shots and then jumping in the car
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 12: and driving off right.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: Wine.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, It's funny how many wrestlers are invested in
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 5: wine and and beer, and you know, some many of
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 5: their own brands. Oh yeah, that was.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 12: Another one, cigars. I recently found out what's that Cody
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 12: has has a cigar brand?
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds very expensive.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 5: I'm glad we were on the same page. Expensive.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 13: It was like, dude, like, do you guys ever see
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 13: how much bootyos went for when it came out?
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 5: She was expensive? And you know where you can only
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 5: buy booteos?
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 3: F y e.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 5: How how often do you do your grocery shopping?
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 12: F y e?
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 5: I gotta go pick up?
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: You know that was more of a novelty thing.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I could definitely tell it was, But damn you
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 5: know the people who.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 14: Still have unopened boxes of Bootios sitting on their shelves somewhere, Yeah, you.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 5: Know, definitely, I guarant fucking tee it.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 12: I have an unopened box of Flutie flags.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 5: Flutey flip. What the fuck are those?
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: I would say, Doug Flutie's gotta be.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 5: I was like, what the fuck is that?
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 12: It was? A quarterback? Was seven quarterback?
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 5: If I did, I would be on this fucking podcast.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 5: I would be on a football.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 14: Maybe one day, maybe one day, a box of unopened
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 14: Bootios will be worth something?
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: Who knows? Maybe, Yeah, I imagine somebody.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 14: I imagine there's probably there may be somebody out there
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 14: in the world who has an unopened original Michael Jordan
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 14: Whedy Cereal box, and that thing is probably worth stupid
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 14: money to the right person. Now Michael Jordan's New Day
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 14: obviously different levels, but I think something is only worth
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 14: what another person is willing to pay for it.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, damn damn well, Zach Ryder's gonna buy it,
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 21: will probably be the buyer.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 5: All right, what have we got now? After the old
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 5: man Hogan, I'm gonna play one more time.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something brought he earned that.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 13: You know what's funny is I like watching it over
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 13: and over because me heart's reactions like, oh ship, what
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 13: the fuck?
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 5: Like and like when he started walking backstage, like.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 13: Hogan was just like, I'm too old for this ship.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 13: This fucking he ripped his Hogan shirt. Fucking dragon. You
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 13: can't even you can't rip it, dude, you can't do
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 13: the one thing man, Oh god, the struggle to rip
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 13: the shirt. Do you guys remember when Hogan did like
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 13: a promo for Donald Trump.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 5: Somebody at my work, Oh, we have like we carry
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 5: your radios around and somebody at my work played that
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 5: entire Hull Cogan Donald Trump promo over the radio. That
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 5: was just fucking dying because I recall him trying to
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 5: like rip his shirt and like it not ripping it
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 5: at all, and because he didn't like pre cut it
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 5: like he normally does, and he's just struggling trying to
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 5: rip the fucking shirt. All right, Never about Hogan. We
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 5: can make fun of him all fucking day.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 13: Let's get to the main event. Let's get to the
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 13: reason why we all were really here. By the way,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 13: I was asleep at this time. I fell asleep like
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 13: at ten o'clock. I was like, I can't, I can't
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 13: do this. I gotta be up at three, and like
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 13: my body is just not like set for three hours
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 13: of row.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 5: I mean Jesus.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 13: But I will say it was nice, like going on
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 13: Netflix and just being able to just click and continue
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 13: right where I left off.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 5: Because I was watching bits and pieces of it at
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 5: work on my phone. It was just convenient. But this match,
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 5: you know, Rollin's and Punk.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 13: And they're both the faces, but it seemed like the
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 13: crowd was more putting heat towards ral Ones uh in
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 13: this Like, uh, I I really hope this is not
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 13: the end. I want to see more of this ship.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 13: Uh what are my notes I haven't written out? Like
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 13: how many like curb stomps he fucking kicked out of.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 3: It was just it was like it was.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 13: It's just like a shipload of finishers and felt like
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 13: a WrestleMania worthy match, like you know, I we've been
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 13: you know, like and what I liked about it too,
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 13: It was clean. There was no other people that were,
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 13: no real Shenanigans with a referee. Really it was a
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 13: clean match. I love the play on the the rope break,
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 13: the play of like Seth rollins like collapsing onto Punk
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 13: And I heard that's a shot shot. Yeah, I heard
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 13: that's a shot for shot remake of him versus John Moxley. Okay,
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 13: so you know I see for me who's never seen it,
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 13: I was like, oh, that's pretty interesting.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 5: Uh but uh, I don't know. I I really enjoyed
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 5: this match.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 3: I loved it.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 5: I I want to see more of these two because
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 5: it's not over. I Seth is gonna get his w
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 5: over Punk for sure, right for sure if it's at
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 5: the Rumble, if they're gonna keep doing this, or you know,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 5: if they want to take this a little bit further
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 5: and drag out to Mania where like, uh I don't know,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 5: maybe Seth causes Punk to cost him rumble win. You
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 5: know he's the one who throws him out. You know
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 5: that that further is it the heat even more to like,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 5: let's end this that mania whatever, I'm all for it.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 5: What did you guys say this match?
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 14: Dre Oh yeah, this is definitely just chapter one of
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 14: this feud one. The match itself, while it was a
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 14: good match, it was still just kind of it was
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 14: just good. That's basically what I say. It wasn't a
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 14: great match. It wasn't something that was going to be
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 14: remembered for, you know, years or anything like that. The
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 14: match was just it was okay, And I don't mean
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 14: that in a bad way. But other than that, I
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 14: wasn't really much to really write home about in this match.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 3: It happened.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 14: I would say, I'm surprised that I'm a little bit
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 14: surprised that Punk went over cleanly as he did, and
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 14: this one. I would have thought that Seth might have
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 14: taken the first match because the way they've done this,
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 14: they haven't pictured it. They haven't painted either one of
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 14: them as being a heel. They've just run it as
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 14: two people who don't like each other, and they've both
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 14: gotten their fair share of pops from the crowd. Now,
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 14: with Punk going over, what excuse does Seth Rollins have
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 14: to garner a rematch or to ask for a rematch.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 14: It almost seems like now Seth is gonna have to
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 14: do something heelish he might, He's almost gonna have to
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 14: turn the heel and do something antagonistic to warrant getting
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 14: a rematch against Pump against Punk, so for them to
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 14: have a second match, right, So that's probably the only world.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 3: Takeaway I got from this.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 14: I seem like maybe if if now you could argue
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 14: the other way around too, if Rollins had won clean,
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 14: then maybe Punk would be in a position to have
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 14: to do something antagonistic to get a rematch against him
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 14: if he wanted one. But given that throughout this whole thing,
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 14: Rollins has seemingly been the aggressor more so than Punk.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 14: You know, when Punk returned that Survivors series twenty twenty three,
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 14: Rollins was the one who was immediately pissed off and
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 14: raising and cussing up a storm and shit in the ring.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 14: Rollins is the one that's been talking shit to him, saying,
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 14: you know, screw you, we never want you, we don't
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 14: need you, YadA, YadA. So even though Rollins has been
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 14: getting you know, babyface reactions, he has also kind of
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 14: sort of been acting like more of a heel throughout
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 14: this feud anyway, So maybe this is just the reason
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 14: for him to finally fully lean in and for them
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 14: to finally commit to just having him be the heel
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 14: moving forward fully.
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 14: Like I said, the match yourself was okay, but obviously
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 14: there's more to go, and maybe the next chapter happens
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 14: at the Rumble. That's be my guess, but we'll see.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I thought it was kind of lackluster. I mean,
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 12: one didn't feel like two guys.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 11: That want to legitimately kill each other, which is kind
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 11: of like the whole point of the storyline.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 12: I thought, Yeah, I think it is definitely chapter one
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 12: in a longer story. I don't know that they're going
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 12: to go right back to each other, but I think
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 12: that they will certainly be in each other's orbit for
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 12: a while.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 11: I want to pitch a fantasy match for you here
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 11: and see what you think of it. Seth Rollins and
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 11: Becky Lynch versus see Him Punk and aj Lee.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 12: Does that do anything for you?
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it. Does it only because we've had
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 3: no indication of aj Lee returning to the WWE at
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 3: this point. If she was like a warm pop, if
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 3: she showed up, yeah, I totally agree.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 14: But if she was more of like a visible figure
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 14: where I thought this was a real possible, had a
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 14: real chance of happening, this could be a real possibility,
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 14: then maybe I'd have a little bit more investment or interest.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 14: But given that, you know, Seth's been back or I'm
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 14: not saying punk has been back for over a year
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 14: now and we ain't seen so much as a peep
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 14: out of her, not so much as a story that hey,
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 14: she was backstage at this event or nothing. I just
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 14: can't get too invested or in that possibility when it
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 14: still feels like it's a all but zero maybe slightly
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 14: above zero chance of that happening.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I don't. I don't really think it
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 12: would happen, but it would be fun. I love a
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 12: mixed tag.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it'd be dope if it could happen.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 14: Like if it, you know, she pops up at the
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 14: Rumble or something like that, and then that changes everything,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 14: you know, this turns on a Diamonds being to being
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 14: a real possibility then, yeah, there would be some genuine interest.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 5: In it, right, like you know her like uh, Seth
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 5: and Becky somehow played part in the Punk losing the
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 5: rumble and now it's like, oh, well, now I'm gonna
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 5: get my wife involved, and then Russell Minia comes and
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 5: now you gotta yeah to two on two. Do you
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 5: guys remember when.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 3: So then would that involved Becky Lynch having to turn heel?
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean she could easily come back and just
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 5: be heal.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 12: You know, either parent could turn the heel pretty easily.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 13: I think yeah, I think so too. And you remember
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 13: the feud with Becky and Seth versus H Baron Corbyn
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 13: and Lacy Evans.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I remember Becky and Seth paired up together and
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 12: not being great.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that feud. I didn't mind. It was short lived though,
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 5: you see.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 3: I forgot about her.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, part of that could had, you know, to do
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 3: with the opponent, right, I mean, like.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I like the idea. Excuse me, I've seen it
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 5: kicked around on the internet a lot. It's just to
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 5: hit Dre's right, though, we like in this whole time
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 5: that day that Punk has been back, like we've heard
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 5: nothing about her wanting to come back.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 12: She could.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 5: She's still young as shit. I think she's younger than
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 5: I am. I mean, she can still come back anytime.
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 5: Anybody who's in their thirties still has plenty of fucking
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 5: time left.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 3: In the ring.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 14: So but I mean, the only peep of wrestling anything
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 14: we've heard connected with A. J. Lee was her doing
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 14: some work on season two of Heels.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 12: Oh yeah, this is not a rumor or anything.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 11: This is just me.
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, fan booking.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah, if it were, if it were to happen, there's
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 14: obviously money to be made there, and yeah, it would
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 14: be very dope and interesting if it were to actually
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 14: play out. And yeah, if you know, well, when whenever
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 14: it happens, regardless of the capacity, whether it's in this
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 14: feud with a Punk Rollin within a Punk Rollins feud,
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 14: or a surprise appearance of the Rumble, whenever that music hits,
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 14: it's gonna absolutely blow the roof off of wherever they're at.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 3: That goes pretty much without saying.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 14: And then from there, yeah, let's let the floodgates open
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 14: with fantasy booking of matches and stuff like that, and
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 14: you can put Becky Lynch probably at the top of
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 14: that list of people that she would want, that people
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 14: would want her to be have a match with.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 3: Given that Punk and Rolins are currently embroiled in a feud.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, but I I hope, I hope if this
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 11: is in fact just the beginning, something happens to up
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 11: the ante next time they met. Kiss that I just didn't,
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 11: excuse me, just didn't have that like I wanted to
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 11: rip your hand, your fucking head off with my bare hands.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 11: Feel then I think it should have.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 14: Yeah, especially given as much the visceral reaction that Seth
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 14: Rollins had so when he returned at the Survivor series,
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 14: and how seemingly they've had so much heat for the
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 14: last couple of years. Yeah, that the energy of this
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 14: match did not match the animosity that these two seemingly
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 14: have had for each other.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 5: Right, maybe it's gotta be taken to the elimination chamber down.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 14: That could be another chapter if they if they both
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 14: end up in the elimination chamber match.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 5: Yep, yep, yep.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 16: Uh.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 5: I really got nothing to touch on news, because now
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 5: that I talked about we kind of talked talked about it,
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 5: you know, throughout the Yeah, the episode here, so we
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 5: really got nothing else new. You still got a couple
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 5: of weeks until the Rumble, so.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 12: We get a Saturday Night's main event too before then.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we got that too, so we still have some time.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 14: I'm coming Saturday Night, mate, Yeah, there's still time before
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 14: the Rumble. Yeah, it was touched back to what we
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 14: talked about at the very beginning of the show with
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 14: all of the huh I.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 11: Said it over, They'm over exposing each other with another
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 11: two hours of programming.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I was getting back to, uh, what we talked
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 14: about with new champions at the beginning of the show. Obviously,
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 14: we have a new n x T women's champion in
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 14: Julia and a new men's n XT champion and Oba Femi.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 14: So that opens up the possibility of Roxane Perez and
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 14: Trig Williams potentially seeing a main roster call up either
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 14: before or after WrestleMania. They might even I wouldn't even
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 14: ruld out those rumbel entrance.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 11: M don't they generally do like the call ups when
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 11: they do the draft or whatever, which is usually right
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 11: after WrestleMania.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's usually this whole portal bullshit.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 3: So right, that's that's what I was going with.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 14: It, Like, Yeah, normally if we're if they're still doing
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 14: the draft thing after WrestleMania, then yeah, that would seem
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 14: like it. But given that they are doing this whole
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 14: portal thing now in conjunction with the Raw and Netflix move,
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 14: we could possibly see those two make the jump sooner.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 12: Right, It's certainly possible.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I wouldn't rull out of either one of those
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 3: two for a Royal Rumbel entrance either.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 12: Well, Roxanne's been in before.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think so, at least not that's my memory.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know that she's been in the Rumble before.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 3: It could be, but I don't remember if she has been.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 12: Somebody can fact check me out.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah fuck that.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 13: Uh yeah, I was sinking, like, if you guys want
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 13: we can at some point maybe fit in our twenty
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 13: twenty four Slammy Awards. Ah, yes, it's that time the
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 13: year fellas, so it is off to make up the list,
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 13: check it twice, make sure it's fucking right.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, we'll do.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 13: We'll fit that in here. I didn't want to, you know,
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 13: there's always people trying to like fit it in, you know,
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 13: at the end of the year, and I'm just like
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 13: so much shit going on.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 5: We're so busy with the holidays. I've got time to
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 5: that in there. We'll get to it. Let me get
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 5: to it.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 13: Twenty twenty four inc Gone nowhere. So I mean that's
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 13: all I got. I mean, I think for the first roll,
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 13: and you know, for Netflix, I think it.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 5: Was pretty good overall. I'm not excited that it's three hours.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 12: But oh but I the second and the third and
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 12: the fourth, and you know.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, how the quality goes throughout? You know, if
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 5: it stays uh you know, at a at a peak
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 5: the whole time, or is it going to fall in
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 5: quality is something that's gonna drop off and make me
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 5: lose interest?
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 11: But yeah, I mean because I hid hide, you know,
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 11: it's hard to keep that momentum going right right?
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Uh, trade, do you have anything you want to
• 2:01:55
