Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / WWE Raw 3/30/26 Review | Gunther GETS HIS WRESTLEMANIA MATCH, New Champs And More!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What is going on, guys? It is another Monday night.
- 0:03Speaker 1: I am the solemn Monster. Tonight RAW was at Madison
- 0:06Speaker 1: Square Garden, my neck of the Woods, and tonight was
- 0:10Speaker 1: the first time where it really felt like the WrestleMania
- 0:12Speaker 1: card has finally come together. We got a whole bunch
- 0:17Speaker 1: of match announcements tonight, so it was a very newsworthy show.
- 0:20Speaker 1: But it was another night where Roman Rains and Cmpunk
- 0:23Speaker 1: closed us out at the very end. And tonight was
- 0:26Speaker 1: a lot like last week in that if you remember
- 0:29Speaker 1: how the show came to an end, it was Roman
- 0:31Speaker 1: Reigns putting CM Punk through a table with a power bomb.
- 0:35Speaker 1: He put him through the announced desk, he left him laying.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Tonight it was the opposite. They flipped the script. It
- 0:40Speaker 1: was CM Punk putting Roman Reins through the announced desk
- 0:44Speaker 1: and leaving him laying. Not exactly a creative way to
- 0:49Speaker 1: follow up on last week's show. I wouldn't say it
- 0:52Speaker 1: was exactly a from the brilliant minds of WWE, creative,
- 0:57Speaker 1: something outside the box, but it got the job because
- 1:01Speaker 1: the intent here was for Punk to get his revenge
- 1:03Speaker 1: and for Punk to come out there and look unhinged,
- 1:06Speaker 1: which is how he came off. Punk came out there
- 1:09Speaker 1: looking like a crazy man. Punk actually said a few
- 1:12Speaker 1: things after he powerbombed Roman Reigns through the announced desk.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I did enjoy him looking out at the audience and screaming,
- 1:21Speaker 1: who's fucking old now? And they had to censor him,
- 1:25Speaker 1: and then kneeling down besides Roman Reigns and singing the
- 1:29Speaker 1: Roman Rains song, Roman, Roman Rey, I fucking hate that song.
- 1:35Speaker 1: But he was singing to Roman. He was mocking Roman
- 1:38Speaker 1: Reins and Corey Graves talked about the look in his eyes.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Michael Cole was talking about the look in sea on
- 1:44Speaker 1: Punk's eyes. No USO's, no other Samoan Family, Dynasty members,
- 1:50Speaker 1: It was just the two of them. It was a
- 1:51Speaker 1: very basic segment. And now Roman is not even on
- 1:55Speaker 1: the show next week. We don't see him again now
- 1:58Speaker 1: until the final raw before WrestleMania. I presume we'll have
- 2:02Speaker 1: a contract signing. We had one for Cody Rhoades and
- 2:06Speaker 1: Randy Orton. Why wouldn't we have one for the other
- 2:08Speaker 1: main event. We get one more chance for these two
- 2:12Speaker 1: to basically just cut their final promo on one another
- 2:17Speaker 1: before we get to the main event. I presume of
- 2:20Speaker 1: Night two at WrestleMania one. More beyond that, as far
- 2:26Speaker 1: as the rest of their show goes, you know, there's
- 2:30Speaker 1: a match coming up a WrestleMania that may be more
- 2:33Speaker 1: than any other single match. When you look out at
- 2:36Speaker 1: the crowd and you listen to the crowd, and these
- 2:39Speaker 1: these crowds on most weeks very apathetic. They're not making
- 2:45Speaker 1: a lot of noise for everything. But for this, they
- 2:49Speaker 1: make noise for this. They're into it. For this, you
- 2:53Speaker 1: can feel the excitement. Brock Lesnar and Obafemi. We had
- 2:58Speaker 1: another segment with the two of them on the show tonight,
- 3:01Speaker 1: and yet again, Obafemi stands tall at the end of
- 3:05Speaker 1: this segment. Now, he didn't lay out Brocklesner. In fact,
- 3:08Speaker 1: they never even touched on this show. They even sent
- 3:12Speaker 1: Paul Laveck out there to get in between the two
- 3:15Speaker 1: of them, and the fans didn't like that very much.
- 3:17Speaker 1: But they did not want these two men to make contact,
- 3:21Speaker 1: not until we get to WrestleMania. Whether or not it's
- 3:24Speaker 1: going to happen that way, I don't know, Because I
- 3:26Speaker 1: believe brock is actually going to be on the show
- 3:28Speaker 1: every week between now and Mania. I'm pretty sure he's
- 3:31Speaker 1: around more than Roman is. But this right now feels
- 3:36Speaker 1: like the real big time match on this show. Like
- 3:39Speaker 1: when you think of WrestleMania and what is that one
- 3:42Speaker 1: attraction that feels like the biggest deal on the entire
- 3:45Speaker 1: show up either night, it's Brock, Lesner and Obafemi. And
- 3:51Speaker 1: they continue to churn out these segments where these poor
- 3:54Speaker 1: security people they keep getting tossed around like small children
- 4:00Speaker 1: get a beating every single week. But I like what
- 4:03Speaker 1: they've done so far with these two. Tonight more of
- 4:06Speaker 1: the same. In fact, Brock was out there, he was
- 4:08Speaker 1: dressed for combat. It made it look like Brock was
- 4:11Speaker 1: gonna go out and have a match, which, of course,
- 4:13Speaker 1: when you really stop and think about it, Brock wrestling
- 4:16Speaker 1: a match on TV, I mean, give me a fucking break.
- 4:19Speaker 1: But anyway, I like what they did with those two.
- 4:21Speaker 1: That to me feels like a big time, main event
- 4:24Speaker 1: caliber WrestleMania match. Right now, we have new tag team
- 4:28Speaker 1: champions the Vision Austin Theory and Logan Paul. They now
- 4:32Speaker 1: have tag team Championship. Gold took it away from the
- 4:35Speaker 1: USOS tonight. And then there's speaking of Knights, there's La Nights.
- 4:41Speaker 1: It looks like La Knight may have found himself an
- 4:44Speaker 1: opponent for WrestleMania, and it is not the opponent that
- 4:47Speaker 1: many of the La Night fans out there. I'm sure
- 4:50Speaker 1: we're hoping or expecting. But if he's going to have
- 4:55Speaker 1: a match at WrestleMania, which is not even official yet,
- 4:57Speaker 1: but if he is going to have a match of
- 4:59Speaker 1: wrestle Media, it looks like we just found out what
- 5:01Speaker 1: it is. We'll talk about that. We also had several
- 5:06Speaker 1: names announced for what is going to be a multiman
- 5:11Speaker 1: ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania. I'm going
- 5:16Speaker 1: to tell you who the men are in this match
- 5:19Speaker 1: and what was so absurd about what was said about
- 5:23Speaker 1: all this on Conventary tonight. I don't want to blame
- 5:26Speaker 1: the commentators too much because they're only doing what they
- 5:28Speaker 1: were told to say, but it is just completely ridiculous.
- 5:33Speaker 1: But the bigger story here is this. I just mentioned
- 5:36Speaker 1: Roman in Punk, and I mentioned brocken Oba. All of
- 5:41Speaker 1: these different people you know, who I haven't mentioned much
- 5:44Speaker 1: of over the last few weeks outside of my various
- 5:47Speaker 1: complaints in pointing out the fact that he hasn't been
- 5:49Speaker 1: on the fucking show Gunther. Last time we saw Gunther
- 5:54Speaker 1: on this show, he beat Dragon Lee. They had this
- 5:56Speaker 1: great match. This is the very first raw of March,
- 5:59Speaker 1: very beginning of the month. We have not seen Gunther since,
- 6:05Speaker 1: and but for a fleeting mention of him in CM
- 6:08Speaker 1: Punk Seampunk's promo at the end of the show last week,
- 6:11Speaker 1: he hadn't even been mentioned. And there's been all this
- 6:15Speaker 1: talk about Raymystereo. He was probably going to be Gunther's opponent,
- 6:19Speaker 1: but he had the fractured ribs and would he be
- 6:21Speaker 1: cleared in time? Are they still gonna do Raymistereo and
- 6:23Speaker 1: gun through at Wrestle Media. The answer is no. Gunther
- 6:28Speaker 1: was back on the show tonight. Finally he lives. I
- 6:35Speaker 1: feel like Jason was at Part six right. Jason lives.
- 6:39Speaker 1: He rises from the grave with the lightning strike and
- 6:42Speaker 1: then he just goes around killing people. That's what I
- 6:45Speaker 1: want to see Gunther do. That's kind of what he
- 6:48Speaker 1: did tonight. But he showed up. If you're wondering what
- 6:52Speaker 1: his role was on the show, it was to attack
- 6:56Speaker 1: Seth Rollins. When Rollins was about to curb Stump Paul
- 6:59Speaker 1: Hayman yet again, he attacked Rollins. He choked him, out
- 7:04Speaker 1: he pointed up at the WrestleMania sign and Adam Pierce
- 7:07Speaker 1: made it official later in the show. It will be
- 7:10Speaker 1: Seth Rollins and Gunther one on one at WrestleMania. But
- 7:15Speaker 1: we'll get into the segment. Well, I'll get more into
- 7:18Speaker 1: my thoughts on all this. Top line, Here's the thing
- 7:24Speaker 1: I'll say about this for now. A lot of us
- 7:28Speaker 1: were wondering is Gunner even going to be on the
- 7:31Speaker 1: WrestleMania card? Are they going to even announce what he
- 7:34Speaker 1: is doing in advance of WrestleMania, because we just got
- 7:38Speaker 1: the announcement today that John Cena is coming back. John
- 7:43Speaker 1: Sena is going to be the host of WrestleMania this year,
- 7:47Speaker 1: mainly because they have more tickets that they are trying
- 7:50Speaker 1: to sell. That's why we're first getting this announcement three
- 7:53Speaker 1: weeks before WrestleMania. But he is going to be on
- 7:56Speaker 1: the show. And I hear that announcement earlier today and
- 8:00Speaker 1: I'm just thinking to myself, we are facing the prospect
- 8:05Speaker 1: that John Cena, the man who was retired by Gunther
- 8:09Speaker 1: in December, is going to have a role on the
- 8:14Speaker 1: WrestleMania show, and Gunther as of now does not and
- 8:19Speaker 1: It's just like, the more I thought about it, I said,
- 8:21Speaker 1: this is just lunacy. I don't mean j c W lunacy,
- 8:28Speaker 1: It's just lunacy in general. Tonight has to be the
- 8:32Speaker 1: night Madison Square Guard in New York City. We need
- 8:35Speaker 1: to see this man back on the show and get
- 8:37Speaker 1: some sense of what he is going to be doing
- 8:39Speaker 1: in WrestleMania. Otherwise, my fear was that he would be
- 8:42Speaker 1: in a segment with John Cena. It would be something
- 8:46Speaker 1: along those lines. At least now he has a match,
- 8:49Speaker 1: he has a defined match, he has an opponent. Now
- 8:53Speaker 1: the question is what is the explanation going to be.
- 8:57Speaker 1: We didn't get that tonight, We didn't need that tonight.
- 9:00Speaker 1: There's time for that next week. On the surface, it
- 9:03Speaker 1: doesn't make a lot of sense. Gun Through has had
- 9:06Speaker 1: no interaction with Seth Rowland. Gun Through and Seth Rowlins
- 9:09Speaker 1: have never even wrestled each other. I remember they tease
- 9:12Speaker 1: the match at one point. There was there's some in
- 9:14Speaker 1: ring segment between the two of them, but that is
- 9:17Speaker 1: not a match that we have have seen so far.
- 9:20Speaker 1: So it's actually a fresh match. But what's the story,
- 9:24Speaker 1: what's the rationale behind it? Right? Is it as simple
- 9:29Speaker 1: as I'm sitting at home, no match at WrestleMania, and
- 9:35Speaker 1: I've had to watch you running around every single week,
- 9:39Speaker 1: hogging up all of this television time. Now you get
- 9:42Speaker 1: medically cleared all of these like all of this is
- 9:45Speaker 1: going on, I'm on the sidelines, and he just got
- 9:48Speaker 1: tired of it. It could be as simple asn't that
- 9:50Speaker 1: has to be pretty fucking lame, But it could be
- 9:52Speaker 1: something simple along those lines. It could be that there
- 9:56Speaker 1: is some sort of agreement that was made between Paul
- 9:59Speaker 1: Hayman and gun I don't like that either, because it
- 10:03Speaker 1: just it doesn't really fit the Gunther persona. Gunther doesn't
- 10:06Speaker 1: do this just for money. Gunther doesn't. He does this
- 10:09Speaker 1: for sport. You know. He does this because right the
- 10:12Speaker 1: ring is sacred, the mad is sacred, and he feels
- 10:16Speaker 1: like he is the greatest professional wrestler in the world today.
- 10:19Speaker 1: In fact, Michael Cole just said the other day that
- 10:21Speaker 1: he believes Gunther is the greatest professional wrestler in the
- 10:23Speaker 1: world today. So him, you know, taking money from Paul
- 10:27Speaker 1: Hayman and working out some sort of deal with the
- 10:30Speaker 1: Vision to kind of do their dirty work for them
- 10:33Speaker 1: and take out Seth Rollins. It could be the story,
- 10:36Speaker 1: but I just feel like it's a complete it's a mismatch.
- 10:39Speaker 1: It doesn't really make sense for the Gunther character. So
- 10:43Speaker 1: I'm very curious how they explain this on the show
- 10:46Speaker 1: next week because we have to get some sort of
- 10:48Speaker 1: explanation for the time being, though, I'm very happy that
- 10:52Speaker 1: we finally have him back on the show and that
- 10:54Speaker 1: they have something for him to do at WrestleMania. I
- 10:57Speaker 1: know it feels underwhelming. Course it feels underwhelming. It's a
- 11:01Speaker 1: match that was made out of nowhere. Nowhere. These two
- 11:06Speaker 1: men have no history together and there was never any
- 11:10Speaker 1: hint of anything. We are less than a month away
- 11:12Speaker 1: from WrestleMania, but injuries have ravaged several of the matches
- 11:18Speaker 1: that clearly they were planning ondoing bron Breaker. One thing
- 11:21Speaker 1: that is clear from this bron Breaker is either not
- 11:24Speaker 1: medically cleared or they simply don't want to take a
- 11:27Speaker 1: chance with him because the guy had hernia's surgery emergency
- 11:31Speaker 1: hernia surgery that is major surgery. And I even said
- 11:35Speaker 1: it at the time, like, oh, well, we'll see what
- 11:38Speaker 1: happens if he can make it back in time. But
- 11:39Speaker 1: if I'm wwe I'm certainly not going to rush this
- 11:42Speaker 1: guy back because that would be stupid, right, I mean,
- 11:44Speaker 1: you want to build around this guy is one of
- 11:46Speaker 1: the building blocks of your future. You don't rush him
- 11:48Speaker 1: back from an injury like that. If he's not medically
- 11:51Speaker 1: cleared or they're not sure that this is the right
- 11:52Speaker 1: thing to be doing right now, you air in the
- 11:55Speaker 1: side of caution. You keep him out of the ring.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Clearly he's not ready to come back yet. Raymistereo clearly
- 12:02Speaker 1: not ready to come back yet. So this was their
- 12:06Speaker 1: Plan B or Plan C, right, I mean they were
- 12:09Speaker 1: in a position where we have to come up with
- 12:12Speaker 1: something to do here. What can we come up with
- 12:14Speaker 1: these two guys to do on this show? We need
- 12:16Speaker 1: something for Rollin's and we need something for gun there,
- 12:19Speaker 1: and we certainly can't leave them off the show. And
- 12:21Speaker 1: we're not gonna stick them in a multi man match,
- 12:23Speaker 1: or we're not gonna put them in a segment with
- 12:24Speaker 1: you know, fucking Tom Brady. So we need to figure
- 12:27Speaker 1: out what are we going to do with these two men? Well,
- 12:29Speaker 1: why don't we just match them up together because they
- 12:32Speaker 1: can go out there and they can at least have
- 12:34Speaker 1: a really good wrestling match. And then we'll try to
- 12:36Speaker 1: construct some sort of story around it. It's not the
- 12:40Speaker 1: ideal situation. It's not the match that I wanted for
- 12:42Speaker 1: either man at WRESTLEMANI I wish they would have gone
- 12:44Speaker 1: in different directions, and they would have, but again, injuries happen.
- 12:49Speaker 1: They got bit by the injury bug, and this is
- 12:50Speaker 1: where we are. I'm just happy that he's finally back
- 12:54Speaker 1: on the show and now let's see what the explanation is.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Let's wait and see how they explain this next week.
- 13:02Speaker 1: But at least now we know what these two men
- 13:04Speaker 1: are doing on the card. Balor and Dominic. We kind
- 13:09Speaker 1: of saw that we were gonna be getting that. It's
- 13:11Speaker 1: official now, Finn Balor Dominic mysterio. They will have a
- 13:14Speaker 1: match of WrestleMania, and we are gonna have a fatal
- 13:17Speaker 1: four way for the women's tag team titles. So there's
- 13:21Speaker 1: directions that seem pretty clear, but we're not official yet.
- 13:25Speaker 1: They made a whole bunch of matches official, we still
- 13:27Speaker 1: don't know what matches are happening on which night, which
- 13:30Speaker 1: really isn't even relevant at this point. We're still three
- 13:33Speaker 1: weeks away. Usually I think they wait until the week
- 13:36Speaker 1: of I don't even think they're gonna know. I don't
- 13:40Speaker 1: think they know beyond the main events, what matches they
- 13:43Speaker 1: want on which night. So there's still time to find
- 13:46Speaker 1: out about that. But as I mentioned, John Cena will
- 13:48Speaker 1: be the host of WrestleMania. He recorded a little video
- 13:51Speaker 1: earlier today, so they replayed that on the show tonight. Look,
- 13:56Speaker 1: it was a better show than SmackDown on Friday. I
- 13:58Speaker 1: wouldn't say it was like a great Raw, but you
- 14:00Speaker 1: know what, it wasn't a bad show. It wasn't a
- 14:03Speaker 1: bad show. I just I'm still hungover from that show
- 14:08Speaker 1: on Friday, where I was appalled by what I saw,
- 14:12Speaker 1: one of the worst shows all year. It would have
- 14:15Speaker 1: been hard, I think, to do a show for Madison
- 14:18Speaker 1: Square Garden tonight. This is like home base for them
- 14:22Speaker 1: and have a show that was worse than the one
- 14:24Speaker 1: they gave us on Friday. Especially kind of shuddering now
- 14:28Speaker 1: at the idea of what a SmackDown gonna look like
- 14:30Speaker 1: at the end of this week. I don't know what
- 14:32Speaker 1: to expect anymore. But I didn't think this was a
- 14:35Speaker 1: bad show. Tonight. We'll talk about it. This is your
- 14:37Speaker 1: Raw on Netflix review. It is Monday Night, March thirtieth,
- 14:41Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. I am a solam master. Thank you
- 14:44Speaker 1: guys for hanging out with me on another Monday Night.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Here we are again, like and subscribe, super chats are open.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I will be reading your messages a little bit later on.
- 14:54Speaker 1: You'll see them popping up on screen if and when
- 14:56Speaker 1: they come in and we do a little thing here
- 14:59Speaker 1: with the WEE, We're going to see what our likes
- 15:02Speaker 1: goal is for our be the Bookers segment. This will
- 15:06Speaker 1: be the minimum number of likes that we need. Hey, SENMPI,
- 15:11Speaker 1: what's going on? Let's find out here? Three fifty? What
- 15:21Speaker 1: was it on Friday? It was like seven hundred. I
- 15:23Speaker 1: think all right, well we're already at two ninety, so
- 15:27Speaker 1: three point fifty should be a gimme. And then we
- 15:29Speaker 1: have the bonus goal, the Superchad goal going on in
- 15:32Speaker 1: the chat. Shout out to Aggie Fan becoming a channel member.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Welcome brother. SmackDown is going to be a train wreck. Probably, yes, Probably.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Speaking of SmackDown, they brought some SmackDown to Monday Night
- 15:52Speaker 1: Raw tonight because the show opened with the WWE champion,
- 15:57Speaker 1: SmackDown's own Cody Rhodes open the show tonight here in
- 16:02Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden. And why not. I mean, look, SmackDown
- 16:05Speaker 1: is such a depressing place to be. I've talked about
- 16:08Speaker 1: how many different people look depressed on that show. If
- 16:12Speaker 1: I were on the show, I would flee to Raw
- 16:15Speaker 1: as well. I would emigrate from SmackDown to Monday Night Raw.
- 16:21Speaker 1: I would cross the border from SmackDown to Raw, start
- 16:27Speaker 1: a brand new life in a much happier place, the
- 16:30Speaker 1: land of opportunity Monday Night Raw. Of course, Cody Roads
- 16:34Speaker 1: doesn't need the land of opportunity. Cody Roads is the
- 16:37Speaker 1: golden boy. So he comes out to the ring mostly cheers.
- 16:40Speaker 1: There were some booze, there were some scattered booze, but
- 16:43Speaker 1: I would say he got a mostly positive reception here.
- 16:48Speaker 1: And of course you wanted to know what do you
- 16:50Speaker 1: want to talk about? What do you want to talk about?
- 16:53Speaker 1: Acknowledge me? What do you want to talk about? They're
- 16:58Speaker 1: like pollsterring dolls. Every promo starts exactly the same way.
- 17:04Speaker 1: We got a bunch of pollstring dolls here on the roster. Oh,
- 17:11Speaker 1: you're right, SmackDown his Jellytown. It's a good point, all
- 17:17Speaker 1: the more reason to get away. Cody didn't really have
- 17:21Speaker 1: to get to say much here before he was interrupted by,
- 17:25Speaker 1: of all people, Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie comes out, why is
- 17:32Speaker 1: she here? I'm watching this just like all of you are.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Why is this woman here? Hall of Famer by the way,
- 17:38Speaker 1: soon to be Hall of Famer Stephanie McMahon, and she
- 17:43Speaker 1: wanted to talk to Cody about Randy Orton and WrestleMania,
- 17:48Speaker 1: but Cody's not gonna like what she has to say.
- 17:51Speaker 1: She said that she used to sit in the crowd
- 17:54Speaker 1: right over there, right here at Madison Square Garden. I
- 17:56Speaker 1: used to sit in the crowd right over there, and
- 17:59Speaker 1: On the Giant would touch her as he went to
- 18:02Speaker 1: the ring. I don't think she meant it like that,
- 18:07Speaker 1: but it took all of sixty seconds from the time
- 18:10Speaker 1: that she started speaking to get an Andrea mentioned. She
- 18:13Speaker 1: loves mentioning that Andrea was her friend. Andre the Giant
- 18:17Speaker 1: was her friend. She never misses an opportunity. I'd look
- 18:19Speaker 1: if I was friends with Andrea the Giant, I would
- 18:21Speaker 1: probably tell people to but we always get the Andre
- 18:24Speaker 1: mentioned from her. So she said, all of them, Cody, Randy, herself,
- 18:32Speaker 1: all knew what it's like to get to the top
- 18:34Speaker 1: but they all took very different paths to get there.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Cody took the golden path, and he believes that he
- 18:40Speaker 1: can bring out the best in people. Cody can't this time, though,
- 18:44Speaker 1: not with this version of Randy Orton. She said, this
- 18:47Speaker 1: version of Randy Orton is diabolical. Cody has to be
- 18:53Speaker 1: able to think like Randy. You know your father, he
- 18:56Speaker 1: understood better than anybody. Dusty could get down and dirty
- 19:00Speaker 1: with the best of them. But Cody is not his father.
- 19:04Speaker 1: This version of Cody cannot beat this version of Randy
- 19:09Speaker 1: ort So the fans begin chanting Randy's name. There's a
- 19:13Speaker 1: common chant that we're hearing every single wee Randy, Randy.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Cody doesn't want to be rude to Stephanie, but he
- 19:22Speaker 1: knows everything about Randy ort He knows all of Randy's
- 19:26Speaker 1: accomplishments and everything he's ever done. There's some stuff that
- 19:29Speaker 1: Randy has done that they can't even show on TV today,
- 19:33Speaker 1: and some of them involve Stephanie. Fans wanted the student
- 19:37Speaker 1: teacher dynamic from the two of them, but he ceased
- 19:40Speaker 1: being the student a long time ago. He wasn't the
- 19:43Speaker 1: student when he was Orton's babysitter, making sure that Orton
- 19:47Speaker 1: was still breathing in the car when they rode together
- 19:51Speaker 1: the Shawn Michaels path. But she's right, he admitted that
- 19:57Speaker 1: she's right. Cody is not Dusty. But with all respect, Stephanie,
- 20:02Speaker 1: you are not your father either, and that got a
- 20:06Speaker 1: reaction from people. I'm also thinking that when Cody said
- 20:10Speaker 1: that you are not your father, there was a collective
- 20:12Speaker 1: sigh of relief from all of the women who work
- 20:15Speaker 1: in WWE. If not, there should be so Stephanie, at
- 20:19Speaker 1: that point she slapped Cody. This is her thing. We
- 20:22Speaker 1: got the trademark. Stephanie McMahon's slap not her best slap.
- 20:28Speaker 1: We've seen this woman slap people across the face before
- 20:31Speaker 1: where it sounds like a gunshot going off. She held back,
- 20:36Speaker 1: She held I mean, look, Cody is the Golden Boy.
- 20:39Speaker 1: We don't need another Travis Scott situation where the guy
- 20:43Speaker 1: gets a ruptured ear drum or this close to WrestleMania
- 20:47Speaker 1: and she tells him that, look, I'm here because I
- 20:49Speaker 1: care about you. She was there because no one else
- 20:52Speaker 1: was giving him any guidance. Orton isn't just listening to
- 20:56Speaker 1: the voices in his head. He beckoned them, and it
- 20:59Speaker 1: looked he was listening to someone else as well, until
- 21:03Speaker 1: Cody learned to think, like Randy, you will lose the
- 21:07Speaker 1: WWE Championship at Wrestlemaney. So Cody, well, first of all,
- 21:13Speaker 1: Stephanie went to go leave, Cody grabbed her by the
- 21:16Speaker 1: arm and stopped her, and he says, I got two
- 21:21Speaker 1: words for you, thank you, And then Cody left to
- 21:26Speaker 1: a mixed reaction, a lot more mixed than it was
- 21:28Speaker 1: when he initially came out, and the announcers talked about
- 21:32Speaker 1: how this was some tough love from Stephanie McMahon. I'm
- 21:36Speaker 1: just wondering, is it. Is it tough love or Stephanie
- 21:42Speaker 1: McMahon the one that Randy Orton has been chatting up
- 21:45Speaker 1: on the phone or would that be a little too
- 21:48Speaker 1: obvious that? That was my main thought coming out of
- 21:51Speaker 1: this segment. Why else would Stephanie McMahon be here. I
- 21:56Speaker 1: know Stephanie and Randy Orton have history, and Randy Orton
- 21:58Speaker 1: has dropped her before with an arcade Like I get that,
- 22:01Speaker 1: and I get what they were going for here, but
- 22:04Speaker 1: why her, Like of all the people that have been
- 22:06Speaker 1: assaulted by Randy Orton, over the years. Who could have
- 22:08Speaker 1: walked out here. Why, Stephanie, I don't know. Makes you wonder.
- 22:15Speaker 1: We still have to find out who he's been on
- 22:17Speaker 1: the phone with. And look, I don't think it was
- 22:20Speaker 1: such a crazy idea. The people who have been saying, well,
- 22:23Speaker 1: maybe he's not on the phone with anybody. Maybe Randy
- 22:25Speaker 1: Orton has been on the phone with himself because he's
- 22:29Speaker 1: hearing the voices in his head. And I might have
- 22:32Speaker 1: subscribed to that. That would have been fucking lame. I
- 22:35Speaker 1: might have subscribed to that until Friday, when in his
- 22:38Speaker 1: promo he made it very clear that it was a voice,
- 22:41Speaker 1: the one voice he said outside of his own head
- 22:44Speaker 1: that he was listening to. So we know it's an
- 22:47Speaker 1: actual human being, But we still haven't solved the mystery.
- 22:50Speaker 1: We haven't cracked the code of who he's been on
- 22:54Speaker 1: the phone with. Maybe we got our answer tonight. It's
- 22:58Speaker 1: definitely possible. Backstage, we see I show Speed he's back again.
- 23:09Speaker 1: He's asking Adam Pierce, where is Dan Housen. So Dan
- 23:12Speaker 1: Housen appears, and Speed is asking to be uncursed because
- 23:16Speaker 1: it's just been just one shit storm after another for
- 23:19Speaker 1: him all week long. He's missing flights. All of these
- 23:21Speaker 1: terrible things are happening to him. Please take the curse off.
- 23:26Speaker 1: And Dan Housen has a list of all these crazy demands.
- 23:29Speaker 1: He wants a billion dollars and he wants his own
- 23:31Speaker 1: camera boy, and Speed says no. So Pierce tries to
- 23:36Speaker 1: cheer up Speed. He tells him, look, we've got a
- 23:38Speaker 1: front row seat for you for the Tag Team Championship
- 23:41Speaker 1: match which is coming up next. And then La Night
- 23:45Speaker 1: shows up and we find out that La Knight is
- 23:48Speaker 1: going to be the guest commentator for the match. They
- 23:52Speaker 1: found a role for him here as we head down
- 23:54Speaker 1: the road to WrestleMania. He's the special guest commentator. Soon
- 23:58Speaker 1: he'll be the special guest timekeeper. Then he'll be a
- 24:01Speaker 1: special guest referee. Maybe he could be a janitor. The
- 24:05Speaker 1: way that Aj styles was that one time on Raw.
- 24:08Speaker 1: There's any number of roles that La and I could
- 24:10Speaker 1: have on the show. So we had the USOS against
- 24:14Speaker 1: Logan Paul in Austin theory. This was for the World
- 24:18Speaker 1: Tag Team titles in New York City, So it's a
- 24:21Speaker 1: New York City street fight rematch from last week, which
- 24:26Speaker 1: was non title. The USSOS have a new theme song.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Now it's it's just us oos. It's not just me ooz,
- 24:34Speaker 1: it's us Look, it beats them both coming out to
- 24:38Speaker 1: Jay Usso's theme. At least now they have one that
- 24:41Speaker 1: they can share. Maybe maybe maybe they went a minute
- 24:49Speaker 1: before they went to a commercial break, and we had
- 24:51Speaker 1: six of them one, two, three, four, five, six, six ads.
- 24:57Speaker 1: I feel like we missed more than half the match.
- 25:01Speaker 1: But anyway, this is your typical WWE weapons match, not
- 25:05Speaker 1: a particularly good one. I thought it was actually pretty lame.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Huso's places the trash can over Logan's head, started hitting
- 25:13Speaker 1: him with Kendostick shots, and they gave Theory a double
- 25:16Speaker 1: superplex from the middle rope through a table that they
- 25:18Speaker 1: had set up in the ring. So outside the ring,
- 25:21Speaker 1: Logan walks over to this woman in the front row
- 25:24Speaker 1: that we are told is Logan Paul's mom, So she's
- 25:29Speaker 1: to blame. So he goes over to his mom and
- 25:33Speaker 1: she hands him a pair of brass knuckles. I show
- 25:36Speaker 1: Speed is sitting in the crowd right next to Logan's mom,
- 25:39Speaker 1: and he's it looks like he's trying to like talk
- 25:42Speaker 1: Logan out of doing this. No, no, no, come on,
- 25:43Speaker 1: don't do it. So La Knight goes over to go
- 25:48Speaker 1: after Logan, and Logan grabs on to Speed, who ends
- 25:52Speaker 1: up being dragged over the barricade. And now he's in
- 25:56Speaker 1: the ringside area here. So one thing I forgot to
- 26:00Speaker 1: mention is at the beginning of this when La Knight
- 26:03Speaker 1: made his entrance, I mean, poor La Knight. You know
- 26:07Speaker 1: I talked about what happened last week. La Knight did
- 26:09Speaker 1: a run in last week during the previous tag team
- 26:12Speaker 1: match between these two teams, and he came out from
- 26:16Speaker 1: the crowd. Now, I don't know how many of you,
- 26:19Speaker 1: I'm sure some of you at least have seen the
- 26:20Speaker 1: video clip of what happened last week. It was a
- 26:24Speaker 1: fan shot video from their phone. La Knight comes running
- 26:28Speaker 1: through the crowd and he jumps over the barricade, but
- 26:32Speaker 1: he slipped, like in mid air. Somehow he slipped, and
- 26:36Speaker 1: just the way that he went flying over the barricade
- 26:39Speaker 1: and then vanished as he splatted on the ground. It
- 26:43Speaker 1: was the funniest fucking thing I've seen all year. Like,
- 26:46Speaker 1: it was hilarious. I feel bad for the guy, but
- 26:50Speaker 1: it was fucking hilarious. So this week he comes out
- 26:55Speaker 1: and you know how he does this thing where he
- 26:57Speaker 1: gets up on the apron and then he'll get up
- 26:59Speaker 1: on ther and he'll do his little you know, he'll
- 27:01Speaker 1: do his a little pose. He he goes up to
- 27:06Speaker 1: sit on the ropes and he slipped and he almost
- 27:09Speaker 1: fell backwards. Thank I mean, thank god for this guy.
- 27:12Speaker 1: He was able to hold on and kind of pull
- 27:14Speaker 1: himself back up before he I mean, that would have
- 27:16Speaker 1: been that would have been it like that. That's it
- 27:18Speaker 1: career over. If he would have fallen and have gone
- 27:22Speaker 1: all the way down to the ground, assuming he didn't
- 27:25Speaker 1: hurt himself. I don't see how he could show his
- 27:27Speaker 1: face in public again after that. But here's the thing.
- 27:32Speaker 1: If you go back and you watch when he slipped
- 27:34Speaker 1: and it looked like he was starting to fall backwards.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Of all the people you talk about the pot calling
- 27:39Speaker 1: the kettle black, of all the people to literally point
- 27:43Speaker 1: and mock him and make fun of him and laugh
- 27:45Speaker 1: at him. Jay Uso in the row, are you fucking
- 27:48Speaker 1: kidding me? Jay Uso is pointing at him, going, oh,
- 27:52Speaker 1: you botched La Botch. Really, it has not been a
- 28:00Speaker 1: good month for La Knight. Going back to the Botch
- 28:04Speaker 1: inside the elimination chamber, him having his little bursa sack issue,
- 28:08Speaker 1: which is why he hasn't worked a match in over
- 28:10Speaker 1: a month. Last week's Prattfall Tonight. It's been a rough
- 28:16Speaker 1: go for La Night, and it might be a rougher
- 28:21Speaker 1: go very soon as we'll get to here. So anyway,
- 28:27Speaker 1: I Show Speed looks down and the brass knucks are
- 28:30Speaker 1: laying on the ground, so he picks them up and
- 28:32Speaker 1: he puts them on his hand. La Knight, having thrown
- 28:36Speaker 1: Logan Paul into the ring post, comes walking back in
- 28:39Speaker 1: the direction of I Show Speed. Speed's got his back turn,
- 28:44Speaker 1: so when Night comes up to him, he doesn't know
- 28:46Speaker 1: who it is, and when he turns around, he blasts
- 28:48Speaker 1: him right in the head with the knucks. Knocks down
- 28:51Speaker 1: La Knight and he plays it like, oh, he was
- 28:53Speaker 1: an accident. He didn't mean to do that. So Jay,
- 28:58Speaker 1: meanwhile in the ring, give Austin Theory a shitty spear
- 29:02Speaker 1: and he goes to the top. Jimmy meanwhile, was going
- 29:05Speaker 1: to go out for a dive onto Logan, who was
- 29:07Speaker 1: back to his feet. Logan has the knucks again now,
- 29:10Speaker 1: so when Jimmy tries to go out for a dive,
- 29:12Speaker 1: he gets blasted right in the face with the Knucks
- 29:15Speaker 1: and Jimmy is out. Jay sees this, he climbs down
- 29:17Speaker 1: from the top. He chooses to dive off the apron
- 29:21Speaker 1: onto Logan, but that allows Austin theory in the ring
- 29:24Speaker 1: to cover an unconscious Jimmy Usso and pin him to
- 29:29Speaker 1: win the World Tag Team titles, and that is how
- 29:33Speaker 1: the Vision wins the championships. So a few things here. First,
- 29:40Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that they change the titles. I was
- 29:43Speaker 1: expecting them to change them last week at the last second.
- 29:46Speaker 1: They changed it from a title match to a non
- 29:48Speaker 1: title match this week. I guess they just wanted to
- 29:52Speaker 1: wait and do it a Madison Square garden, I guess
- 29:53Speaker 1: I mean that. And there was that appearance that they
- 29:56Speaker 1: were supposed to make on the first MLB game on Netflix,
- 29:59Speaker 1: and so suposed ly wwe wanted them there with the belts.
- 30:02Speaker 1: I don't even think Jimmy was there. But them losing
- 30:05Speaker 1: the titles here not a surprise. Second of all, what
- 30:09Speaker 1: a terrible way to change the tag team titles. I
- 30:13Speaker 1: just thought that was just incredibly lame. And number three,
- 30:17Speaker 1: I think we just found out who La Knight. If
- 30:19Speaker 1: anyone is wrestling or WrestleMania, it looks like if La
- 30:24Speaker 1: Knight is to have a match on that show, he
- 30:27Speaker 1: will be wrestling I Show Speed. Now Speed is someone
- 30:33Speaker 1: He's very athletic, and the few appearances that we've seen
- 30:37Speaker 1: him make before he's done fine. Obviously the best one
- 30:40Speaker 1: was him taking the spear from Brown Breaker at the
- 30:43Speaker 1: Royal Rumble last year. That was fantastic. So in terms
- 30:48Speaker 1: of celebrities coming in to do something, whether it's a
- 30:52Speaker 1: match or an appearance or whatever it may be, I
- 30:57Speaker 1: can think of worse celebrities to have in to be
- 31:00Speaker 1: doing stuff. But the idea that La Knight's only way
- 31:03Speaker 1: into WrestleMania at this point looks to be a match
- 31:06Speaker 1: with a social media influencer, with a YouTuber, it's pretty
- 31:10Speaker 1: fucking sad. It's sad, even sad or that we have
- 31:17Speaker 1: to consider the possibility that La Knight may lose to
- 31:20Speaker 1: I Show Speed at WrestleMania, Like I could see Dan
- 31:23Speaker 1: Hausen lifting the curse and I Show Speed wins. Can
- 31:27Speaker 1: you imagine that? What would the La Knight fans out there?
- 31:31Speaker 1: What would they do? How would they react if La
- 31:35Speaker 1: knight went to WrestleMania and lost to I Show Speed
- 31:42Speaker 1: I don't know, wouldn't be pretty. I know that, but
- 31:45Speaker 1: that's what it looks to be right now if he's
- 31:47Speaker 1: going to wrestle on that show. And again he had
- 31:50Speaker 1: the you know, the Bursa sack on his elbow, and
- 31:54Speaker 1: then he tweeted out like that's not going to stop
- 31:56Speaker 1: me from being a WrestleMania. So let's assume he's going
- 31:59Speaker 1: to be healthy and you know his health will not
- 32:00Speaker 1: be an issue. Then there's your match. You know, on
- 32:04Speaker 1: SmackDown we have Jelly Roll and on Raw we have
- 32:07Speaker 1: I Show Speed. Each show has their own residence celebrity
- 32:12Speaker 1: now heading into WrestleMania. But I pointed this out also
- 32:19Speaker 1: on Twitter when the match was over. I can't remember
- 32:23Speaker 1: a period and I know, like in the Attitude era
- 32:26Speaker 1: that I mean the championships, mainly the world title back
- 32:31Speaker 1: in ninety nine was like a hot potato between Rock
- 32:35Speaker 1: and Mankind. It must have changed hands at least three
- 32:37Speaker 1: times before they even got to WrestleMania. I can't remember
- 32:42Speaker 1: a period of time though, where we were this close,
- 32:44Speaker 1: like within a month or two of WrestleMania, where so
- 32:47Speaker 1: many championships changed. Instead of waiting for WrestleMania, they've decided
- 32:54Speaker 1: to change at least four different championships since the beginning
- 32:57Speaker 1: of the month. It's I can't remember that ever happening before.
- 33:01Speaker 1: We had Cody Rhodes winning the WWE title back from
- 33:05Speaker 1: Drew MacIntyre, right that was earlier this month. It was
- 33:09Speaker 1: the first smack down, I believe. For the month of March.
- 33:12Speaker 1: We had Penta taking the Intercontinental title from Dominic Mysterio. Friday,
- 33:18Speaker 1: we had sammy' zain winning the United States Championship from
- 33:21Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes, which I pissed off a lot of people.
- 33:26Speaker 1: We had Damian Priest in Our Truth a couple of
- 33:29Speaker 1: weeks ago winning the WWE tag team titles from the MFTs,
- 33:35Speaker 1: and now the other tag team titles on Raw have
- 33:38Speaker 1: changed hands. The Vision takes the titles away from the USOS.
- 33:43Speaker 1: And this is all just weeks before WrestleMania. So on
- 33:47Speaker 1: the one hand, you look at that and it's like, well,
- 33:49Speaker 1: it was kind of unpredictable. I don't think anybody expected
- 33:52Speaker 1: there to be that many title changes. But on the
- 33:55Speaker 1: other hand, it just it also kind of feels to
- 33:57Speaker 1: me to be very it's almost like desp like, I
- 34:01Speaker 1: don't think that this is something that they concocted months ago,
- 34:04Speaker 1: where it's like, Okay, we have all of these different,
- 34:08Speaker 1: you know, pads that we want to go. All of
- 34:11Speaker 1: these title changes were like mapped out months in advance,
- 34:14Speaker 1: and there's all like a rhyme or a reason to it.
- 34:18Speaker 1: It doesn't feel that way to me. It just kind
- 34:20Speaker 1: of feels like, to some extent, they've been kind of
- 34:23Speaker 1: throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. And
- 34:26Speaker 1: injuries have played a role in the build up to
- 34:28Speaker 1: this WrestleMania show. But I don't know. I mean, all
- 34:31Speaker 1: these title changes and I just I don't get the
- 34:34Speaker 1: sense that there's some grand plan for all of them.
- 34:40Speaker 1: Live Morgan, she's going to be challenging for a championship
- 34:43Speaker 1: at WrestleMania. The Women's World Championship shockingly has not changed
- 34:50Speaker 1: hands yet. It did change hands actually before WrestleMania last year,
- 34:55Speaker 1: but not yet this year. So she came to the
- 34:57Speaker 1: ring by herself to cut a short promo talking about
- 35:01Speaker 1: Stephanie Vicaire. She says, you're done for bitch. She said
- 35:07Speaker 1: that takes offense to Stephanie attacking her family, referring to
- 35:12Speaker 1: the judgment day, referring to dominic Stephanie has no family
- 35:16Speaker 1: and all she can do is sneak attack. Her mother
- 35:19Speaker 1: taught her Live's mother, that is, taught her never to
- 35:22Speaker 1: let anyone get the best of you asked for Stephanie's mother,
- 35:27Speaker 1: and then she said in Spanish, your mother is trash bitch.
- 35:33Speaker 1: That wasn't very nice. So those words brought out Stephanie
- 35:38Speaker 1: and Vicaire just starts kicking her ass. She goes outside
- 35:42Speaker 1: the ring, she grabs the steel chair and she's gonna
- 35:46Speaker 1: bring the chair into the ring, only for Roxane Perez
- 35:50Speaker 1: to return and she attacks Stephanie from behind. We have
- 35:53Speaker 1: not seen Roxane in many months. She had surgery and
- 35:59Speaker 1: it was a little question whether or not she would
- 36:01Speaker 1: make it back in time. I mean, I don't even
- 36:02Speaker 1: know if it matters because I don't see her having
- 36:04Speaker 1: a match on that show. But it's good to see
- 36:08Speaker 1: her back. It's good to see her back and healthy
- 36:12Speaker 1: again and medically cleared. And so Live had a little
- 36:14Speaker 1: backup here, No Raquel. Raquel was in a match later
- 36:18Speaker 1: on a little weird that she didn't show up here,
- 36:20Speaker 1: But this was all just to set up the return
- 36:23Speaker 1: of Rock Sane. We go backstage, I show Speed is
- 36:28Speaker 1: talking to Logan, Paul and Austin Theory, who were celebrating
- 36:31Speaker 1: their tag team championship win, and Speed is trying to
- 36:35Speaker 1: explain to them, like, guys, I you know, I didn't
- 36:37Speaker 1: mean to do that. I didn't mean to get involved.
- 36:41Speaker 1: And this man was having regrets. So Paul Hayman shows
- 36:46Speaker 1: up and he tells Speed not to worry. You're in
- 36:48Speaker 1: good hands and the new champions they'll protect you. So
- 36:52Speaker 1: he tells Logan and Theory take Speed, go out to dinner,
- 36:57Speaker 1: go to a steakhouse or whatever. Just take celebrate, go out,
- 37:02Speaker 1: have a meal, enjoy the evening. And as they all leave, Hayman,
- 37:07Speaker 1: you know, mutters to himself, man, the use sellers are
- 37:09Speaker 1: going to kill this guy. So then Adam Pierce shows up,
- 37:14Speaker 1: and Pierce wants to know if Hayman had checked his email.
- 37:18Speaker 1: He wanted to know if Paul Hayman had checked his
- 37:21Speaker 1: his hotmail address, because you know, Paul Hayman probably has
- 37:24Speaker 1: a hotmail, hot mail or AOL either one. Does anybody
- 37:29Speaker 1: in here hat still have a hotmail email address? So
- 37:39Speaker 1: Hayman is wondering, why did you email me, like were
- 37:44Speaker 1: you inviting me out on a date? And Pierce tells
- 37:48Speaker 1: him there's something very wrong with you. I'll tell you
- 37:51Speaker 1: what's wrong with this whole scenario here. I'm thinking to myself, like,
- 37:56Speaker 1: why is Adam Pierce emailing Paul Hayman. He's him at
- 38:00Speaker 1: the building every single week. He also has his phone number,
- 38:04Speaker 1: so he has to know that he could just text
- 38:06Speaker 1: message the guy if he has to reach him in
- 38:09Speaker 1: a timely fashion. Why is he emailing Paul Hayman? I
- 38:13Speaker 1: thought that was a little strange. All right, Let's see,
- 38:17Speaker 1: we have a bunch of aols in here. Look at
- 38:19Speaker 1: this man. We still have a lot of AOL people.
- 38:21Speaker 1: We got a Yahoo guy outlook. I know that some
- 38:32Speaker 1: of you have a hot mail email and you browse
- 38:34Speaker 1: the web in the old Netscape browser. Okay, I know
- 38:38Speaker 1: I know some of you. I know some of you
- 38:40Speaker 1: old heads. You're using Netscape. You're wondering, how come I
- 38:44Speaker 1: can't download AOL anymore? Where's my AOL keyword? NYA? Jacks
- 38:52Speaker 1: Hey Dev, Hey dev, Welcome to the channel. It's nineteen
- 38:56Speaker 1: ninety four, brother, enjoy your stay. Jackson Lash Legend against
- 39:01Speaker 1: Bailey and Lyra Valkyria Women's Tag Team Championships on the line.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Gee I wonder what's gonna happen here in this match.
- 39:10Speaker 1: So we see clips from SmackDown where the Bella Twins
- 39:13Speaker 1: got the win over Charlotte and Alexa, then Lash and Naia.
- 39:16Speaker 1: They basically started kicking their asses until Bailey and Lyra
- 39:21Speaker 1: made the save and that leads to where we are tonight,
- 39:25Speaker 1: Bailey and Lyra getting a shot of the titles. Michael
- 39:28Speaker 1: Coles said that this was the first time since nineteen
- 39:30Speaker 1: eighty seven, between the Glamour Girls and the Jumping Bomb
- 39:34Speaker 1: Angels that a set of women's tag team titles were
- 39:36Speaker 1: being defended inside Madison Square. Guard Love the Jumping Bomb
- 39:42Speaker 1: Angels weird to go back and when you see some
- 39:45Speaker 1: of the old matches, like even Royal Rumble eighty eight,
- 39:49Speaker 1: you go back and watch some of those old Jumping
- 39:50Speaker 1: Bomb Angels matches in WWE, it was unlike anything that
- 39:54Speaker 1: you were gonna see on television at that time. It
- 39:57Speaker 1: was like they were ten I mean do they were
- 40:01Speaker 1: like twenty years ahead of their time. And I saw
- 40:04Speaker 1: one of them was on social media a few months ago,
- 40:07Speaker 1: Lobby and they actually had a petition they were circulating
- 40:10Speaker 1: to get WWE's attention so that they would be inducted
- 40:14Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame. Doesn't look like they're going
- 40:16Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame this year. Usually doesn't work
- 40:19Speaker 1: out that way when you lobby publicly for it. But
- 40:22Speaker 1: they deserve to be in there at some point. Absolutely absolutely.
- 40:26Speaker 1: They were way ahead of their time, at least in
- 40:29Speaker 1: terms of this company. I mean, obviously women's wrestling existed
- 40:33Speaker 1: outside of WWE, but in this company, way ahead of
- 40:38Speaker 1: their time. So Bailey took a hot tag late in
- 40:42Speaker 1: the match, and she got a little run of offense
- 40:44Speaker 1: before she got stopped. Nya set up for the Annihilator. Bailey, though,
- 40:50Speaker 1: got underneath her, had Naya on her shoulders, took a
- 40:53Speaker 1: few steps with her, and then power bombed her. So
- 40:56Speaker 1: here come the Bella Twins. Now. Last week, Nikki Bella
- 41:00Speaker 1: got hurt on SmackDown. She was limping. It looked like
- 41:04Speaker 1: baby she sprained her ankle. Hopefully that's all it was.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Turns out that's exactly what happened. She sprained her ankle.
- 41:11Speaker 1: I believe it was earlier today. She said that she
- 41:14Speaker 1: expects to be back within seven to ten days, and
- 41:17Speaker 1: she was spotted in a walking boot earlier. She came
- 41:21Speaker 1: out here there was no sign of any walking boot,
- 41:26Speaker 1: so they start walking down the aisle. Charlotte and Alexa
- 41:29Speaker 1: Bliss they're bringing it up the rear. They're walking behind
- 41:33Speaker 1: these two. Now they're coming down to the ring and
- 41:36Speaker 1: all four women they get into an argument. Lyra Valkeria
- 41:39Speaker 1: then goes outside the ring to confront them in the
- 41:42Speaker 1: middle of this championship match. I don't know what she
- 41:45Speaker 1: was thinking, but she goes out there to confront them.
- 41:49Speaker 1: So Nya throws her into Charlotte and Alexa Lash legend
- 41:53Speaker 1: took out the bellas. This all led to Charlotte and
- 41:56Speaker 1: Alexa running into the ring to cause the unbelievably lame disqualification. Predictable, predictable,
- 42:04Speaker 1: but fucking lame disqualification. So Naya and Lash they retain
- 42:08Speaker 1: their tag team titles. I have to say, this women's
- 42:12Speaker 1: tag team title stuff they've done on both shows, but
- 42:15Speaker 1: especially SmackDown over the last few weeks is hot garbage,
- 42:22Speaker 1: and I like some of the women who were involved here.
- 42:24Speaker 1: All of this women's tag team title shit though, has
- 42:26Speaker 1: been just fucking terrible. But at least now we got
- 42:29Speaker 1: the official announcement it will be a fatal four way,
- 42:32Speaker 1: so we don't have to wonder anymore. Five teams, six
- 42:35Speaker 1: Teams Naya in Lash they're gonna defend against CHARLESA, the
- 42:40Speaker 1: Bella Twins and Bailey Lyra. That match is now official
- 42:44Speaker 1: for WrestleMania. I'm happy just because at least at WrestleMania
- 42:48Speaker 1: wee can end this once and for all. We've seen
- 42:51Speaker 1: so many different combinations of these teams, and none of
- 42:54Speaker 1: it has been terribly interesting. The matches have not been
- 42:57Speaker 1: particularly good. It's just like this is just not hitting
- 43:01Speaker 1: and unfortunately, to get to where we need it to be,
- 43:04Speaker 1: we have seen all of these finishes in these Like
- 43:07Speaker 1: the matches themselves are not great, the finishes that they've
- 43:10Speaker 1: done for these matches just sucked the life, suck the
- 43:14Speaker 1: air out of these buildings. And these people just don't
- 43:17Speaker 1: care about any of this. This has been some of
- 43:20Speaker 1: the worst honestly, when I think of these matches that
- 43:24Speaker 1: are being built up for WrestleMania, as far as this
- 43:26Speaker 1: build is concerned, this has basically been the worst part
- 43:29Speaker 1: of it so far. It's just awful. This week's episode

- 44:57Speaker 1: this week, they saved brock Lesns not for the beginning
- 45:01Speaker 1: of the show. They saved him for the middle of
- 45:03Speaker 1: the show. It was nine to fifteen pm Eastern time,
- 45:07Speaker 1: and here comes brock Lesner, and you know, he was
- 45:10Speaker 1: extra salty that he couldn't leave early tonight. So he's
- 45:14Speaker 1: out there with Paul Hayman. Hayman said that he was
- 45:16Speaker 1: out there to pontificate on the perils that await oba femi.
- 45:22Speaker 1: So you got to say it the way that Paul
- 45:23Speaker 1: Hayman says it. He doesn't just say oba femi. He
- 45:26Speaker 1: goes oba. He has to over enunciate everything oba Femi.
- 45:36Speaker 1: I feel like I'm like listening to him like hooked
- 45:39Speaker 1: on Phonics or something hosted by Paul Hayman. I don't
- 45:42Speaker 1: know if he does it just to kind of stretch
- 45:45Speaker 1: for time in these promos or what this is. If
- 45:48Speaker 1: it's a common Paul Hayman tactic here in these promos.
- 45:53Speaker 1: So anyway, he said two weeks ago brock Lesner was
- 45:57Speaker 1: distracted by Seth Rollins and he was caught off guard
- 46:00Speaker 1: by Oba Femi. Last week, Brockolesner was not dressed to fight,
- 46:08Speaker 1: He just wanted a conversation with Oba Femi. Well, tonight,
- 46:15Speaker 1: brock Lesner is dressed to fight because Brockolesner has authorized
- 46:19Speaker 1: him to let everybody know that he has seen it
- 46:21Speaker 1: happen for twenty five years in WWE and UFC that
- 46:27Speaker 1: when someone looks, just even looks at brock Locke's eyes
- 46:32Speaker 1: with brock Lesner, that man pisses all over himself. And
- 46:38Speaker 1: he just kept blathering on and on and on here
- 46:40Speaker 1: until finally Brock got fed up and he swiped the
- 46:42Speaker 1: mic out of his hand. That he told Oba to
- 46:47Speaker 1: get his ass out here to the ring. So Adam
- 46:50Speaker 1: Pierce came out instead. Definitely not Oba Femi Pierce comes out.
- 46:55Speaker 1: He rained on the parade. He said, I've got a
- 46:57Speaker 1: wrestle media match to protect, and everyone's booing him and
- 46:59Speaker 1: he I know, I know, but I got to wrestle
- 47:02Speaker 1: many a match that I have to protect. So he
- 47:04Speaker 1: told Brock this is not gonna happen. This will not
- 47:08Speaker 1: be happening tonight. He told Haimon and Lesner to leave
- 47:11Speaker 1: the ring. Well, Opa Femi apparently never got that memo.
- 47:14Speaker 1: I guess he never read the email, nor did the
- 47:18Speaker 1: sound guy or the person responsible for the lights in
- 47:21Speaker 1: the arena, because the lights went out and we heard
- 47:25Speaker 1: Obafemi's music. And so out comes the ruler and he's
- 47:29Speaker 1: strutting out onto the stage. He's strutting all his way
- 47:32Speaker 1: all the way down the aisle coming down to the ring.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Two security geeks they charge at him for some reason.
- 47:40Speaker 1: I don't know why they ran at him, and so
- 47:43Speaker 1: he just shoulder tackled them down to the ground. Same
- 47:46Speaker 1: with the next wave that came charging in one of
- 47:49Speaker 1: the guys. He launched into the air, and the way
- 47:53Speaker 1: he landed on his hip, I do not envy how
- 47:56Speaker 1: that must have felt, but it looked great. So when
- 48:01Speaker 1: Pierce got up in Oba's face he tried to stop him,
- 48:04Speaker 1: the general manager, he got shoved aside into the barricade.
- 48:07Speaker 1: See that's going to cost him some money right there.
- 48:10Speaker 1: So the fans were just fully behind Oba here chanting
- 48:14Speaker 1: his name. He slowly circled the entirety of the ring
- 48:17Speaker 1: like a shark in the water. Something we've seen Brock
- 48:20Speaker 1: Lesner do before. So he circled the entire ring. Once
- 48:24Speaker 1: Oba got up on the apron, fans started chanting, holy shit.
- 48:28Speaker 1: He gets into the ring and it looked like the
- 48:30Speaker 1: two of them might actually throw down here. But then
- 48:33Speaker 1: Paul Levek slides into the ring. I don't even know
- 48:36Speaker 1: where he came from. He slides into the ring and
- 48:39Speaker 1: he gets in between the two of them. He did
- 48:42Speaker 1: what twenty four security people could not do, and he
- 48:47Speaker 1: got these two men to stand down. He got in
- 48:50Speaker 1: between them and he told Brock. He got up in
- 48:52Speaker 1: Brock's face and said, not here. Not now. He's pointing
- 48:54Speaker 1: up with the WrestleMania signed WrestleMania. That's the time for it.
- 48:57Speaker 1: He's telling Paul Hayman, get him out of here, get
- 48:59Speaker 1: him out of here. And so Lesnar left the ring,
- 49:03Speaker 1: but not before as he was leaving, one of the
- 49:05Speaker 1: security guys was still laid out on the floor. I
- 49:08Speaker 1: mean he was dressed for combat. I mean, Brock is
- 49:10Speaker 1: out there and he's in his he's in his shorts,
- 49:14Speaker 1: he's got the gloves on and the boots. He was
- 49:16Speaker 1: ready to have a match. So I guess just to
- 49:18Speaker 1: make himself feel like he may have had a match.
- 49:20Speaker 1: He picked up the security guy, put him on his
- 49:22Speaker 1: shoulders and gave him an F five on the floor,
- 49:25Speaker 1: and I guess that made him feel good. And at
- 49:27Speaker 1: that point Brock left. I can't be I can't be
- 49:33Speaker 1: the only one who was hoping that, you know, when
- 49:35Speaker 1: Paul Levex slid into the ring, that he would eat
- 49:37Speaker 1: in F five or he would get pounced halfway across
- 49:40Speaker 1: the ring. But that did not happen. This right here
- 49:45Speaker 1: feels like the main event of WrestleMania, Like it's you
- 49:51Speaker 1: hear these crowds and you see the way they're teasing it,
- 49:54Speaker 1: but they're not giving too much away. Tonight. They didn't
- 49:56Speaker 1: touch at all. Right, they came close, they were kind
- 49:59Speaker 1: of to eye, they didn't touch at all. I thought
- 50:03Speaker 1: Brock was going to get his revenge this week. He's
- 50:05Speaker 1: been laid out twice. Didn't happen. Oba was standing tall
- 50:09Speaker 1: when this segment was over and Brock walked to the back.
- 50:13Speaker 1: So it's three weeks in a row that they have
- 50:15Speaker 1: kept Oba Femi looking strong. Here again, no physicality here.
- 50:18Speaker 1: I mean we had physicality, just not between the two
- 50:21Speaker 1: of them. And I'll tell you what. When this was
- 50:25Speaker 1: over and the fact that Brock did not get his
- 50:29Speaker 1: revenge on this men. All I can think is Brock's
- 50:33Speaker 1: winning at WrestleMania. I mean, it definitely feels like a
- 50:36Speaker 1: Brock Lesnar win at WrestleMania. And there are people who
- 50:41Speaker 1: there was who was it earlier who mentioned the same thing.
- 50:43Speaker 1: I've heard from people who think Brock wins at WrestleMania,
- 50:48Speaker 1: Brock loses at Summerslambity loses to Gunther, which I think
- 50:52Speaker 1: would be I mean, so much worse if Oba never
- 50:56Speaker 1: even gets that win. Like I can understand him, I'm
- 51:00Speaker 1: losing at WrestleMania if it means coming back and beating
- 51:04Speaker 1: Brock at the next big show. I wouldn't do it
- 51:08Speaker 1: that way, but I can at least understand it. But
- 51:11Speaker 1: the idea of him him being Brock winning at WrestleMania
- 51:15Speaker 1: and then moving on to somebody completely different is unacceptable
- 51:18Speaker 1: to me. Unacceptable at the end of all of this,
- 51:24Speaker 1: whether it's WrestleMania or whether it's SummerSlam, Opa Femi should
- 51:28Speaker 1: have his hand raised full stop because he's in a
- 51:34Speaker 1: position right now where he needs that a hell of
- 51:37Speaker 1: a lot more than someone like Gunther does, and that
- 51:41Speaker 1: doesn't even make any sense to me. You've got to
- 51:44Speaker 1: wrap this up and end it the right way before
- 51:47Speaker 1: you move on to something else. But I guess the
- 51:49Speaker 1: idea is that, you know, if Brock is not going
- 51:51Speaker 1: to lose until his final match, if he was to
- 51:54Speaker 1: have his final match at SummerSlam, then you do Brock
- 51:57Speaker 1: and Gunther. No, you do Brock a Oba if Oba
- 52:03Speaker 1: fails to beat him a WrestleMania, which as of this
- 52:06Speaker 1: moment is exactly what it feels like they're gonna do,
- 52:10Speaker 1: is have him lose to Brockleisner. But what we have
- 52:14Speaker 1: gotten so far between these two fantastic fantastic, they've made
- 52:19Speaker 1: a new and span of a few weeks, they've made
- 52:21Speaker 1: a new star on this show. Now. I don't put
- 52:24Speaker 1: it past them to completely fuck it up coming out
- 52:27Speaker 1: of WrestleMania, but for the time being, they've made a
- 52:32Speaker 1: new star, a new top guy on Monday Night Raw.
- 52:37Speaker 1: Keep it going is exactly what we need, is exactly
- 52:41Speaker 1: what they need on this show. They need more people
- 52:43Speaker 1: like him. Not everybody can look like Obafemi and strut
- 52:48Speaker 1: like Obafemi, but they need more people like him, new
- 52:51Speaker 1: faces that are protected in ways that so many guys
- 52:55Speaker 1: are not. They protect the top talents. Okay, you could
- 52:59Speaker 1: under why that's why they're top talents, but because other
- 53:03Speaker 1: people aren't extended you know that same protection, and there
- 53:08Speaker 1: are people who you know, you can point to who
- 53:10Speaker 1: should have been and weren't. He's somebody who should be protected.
- 53:15Speaker 1: He's somebody that you can build this brand around going forward.
- 53:19Speaker 1: That win is going to mean a lot more to
- 53:21Speaker 1: him than it would to someone like Gunther. So that's
- 53:23Speaker 1: my answer to that. For the people who think that
- 53:26Speaker 1: either that's what they're going to do or that's what
- 53:28Speaker 1: they should do, I disagree. I disagree on Now we
- 53:35Speaker 1: got to pretaate promo from Finn Balor saying the Judgment
- 53:38Speaker 1: Day was a family and they ran raw for four years.
- 53:42Speaker 1: He did some things that he wasn't proud of. The
- 53:44Speaker 1: worst decision he ever made was thinking he can make
- 53:46Speaker 1: a man out of Dominicque mysterio. So Finn was the
- 53:50Speaker 1: one that Dom turned to. Finn is the one who
- 53:52Speaker 1: stepped up to him or for him. Dom lost the
- 53:55Speaker 1: inter Continental Championship not because of him, He lost it
- 53:58Speaker 1: because he's a self in time jackass, and Finn said
- 54:02Speaker 1: he's guilty of being the one to help create Dominic Mysterio.
- 54:07Speaker 1: Now he'll be responsible for destroying him at WrestleMania. So
- 54:12Speaker 1: there's your match. I think we all knew this was coming,
- 54:16Speaker 1: although a few months ago it looked like it was
- 54:18Speaker 1: going to be for the Intercontinental title. But it doesn't
- 54:21Speaker 1: need the title. This is not about the title. This
- 54:24Speaker 1: is not about the title. The Intercontinental Championship was one
- 54:27Speaker 1: prop in the overall story of the Judgment Day, in
- 54:31Speaker 1: the overall story of Finn Balor and Dominic Mysterio. It
- 54:35Speaker 1: doesn't need the title. Here's a match with actual story
- 54:40Speaker 1: and history behind it, even though it's cooled off quite
- 54:44Speaker 1: a bit. I mean, you have to admit this has
- 54:47Speaker 1: cooled off a lot because they've dragged it out for
- 54:50Speaker 1: so long. They have dragged it out for so long
- 54:54Speaker 1: that it's hard now to get excited for something that
- 54:58Speaker 1: just doesn't have the juice that it would I had.
- 55:00Speaker 1: Let's say they did it a year ago, because I mean,
- 55:04Speaker 1: how Dom's been in the Judgment Day for at least
- 55:07Speaker 1: two years. I mean, I know, he said the Judgment
- 55:10Speaker 1: Day was a four year thing, but Dom's been in
- 55:12Speaker 1: there for at least half that, and it's kind of
- 55:17Speaker 1: surprising It took this long to get to this point,
- 55:19Speaker 1: but at least we're finally getting the match. Penta defended
- 55:25Speaker 1: his Intercontinental championship on this show. He extended an open
- 55:29Speaker 1: challenge over the weekend. Who wants to accept it? It
- 55:33Speaker 1: was accepted by KOFE Kingston, So we got a title
- 55:36Speaker 1: match here. You know, I was there in Madison Square
- 55:39Speaker 1: Garden when KOFE did the big boom drop spot to
- 55:41Speaker 1: Randy Orton. I was there that night. People are going
- 55:45Speaker 1: nuts for KOFE. And to think that was seventeen years ago,
- 55:50Speaker 1: and to think that there are people now who are clamoring.
- 55:52Speaker 1: We hear this every week. Two thousand and nine, Randy Orton,
- 55:55Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, Randy Orton, that was two thousand nine,
- 55:58Speaker 1: was seventeen years ago. People like oh Man, two thousand
- 56:03Speaker 1: and nine, Randy Orton is coming back. KOFE Kingston's like,
- 56:07Speaker 1: how come I can't get two thousand and nine Kofee Kingston?
- 56:11Speaker 1: How come I can't get two thousand and nineteen Kofee Kingston?
- 56:16Speaker 1: That KOFE Kingston doesn't exist anymore. Grayson Waller was in
- 56:21Speaker 1: Kofee's corner and he tried to interfere on his behalf Kofee,
- 56:25Speaker 1: they'll called him off and he was admonishing him for
- 56:28Speaker 1: doing so, I gotta do this on my own, and
- 56:32Speaker 1: Waller's like, okay, so he backed off. Penta caught Kofe
- 56:37Speaker 1: on a trust dive outside the ring and then backsuplexed
- 56:41Speaker 1: him onto the basically bounced him off of the announced desk.
- 56:45Speaker 1: Waller bent down over Kofe for a little a little conversation.
- 56:51Speaker 1: When Penta came flying in for the Mexican Destroyer on
- 56:54Speaker 1: the floor, Waller, he was like, you ain't getting my
- 56:58Speaker 1: neck on the floor. Not the best looking Mexican destroyer. Look.
- 57:05Speaker 1: I wouldn't want somebody spiking me on my head on
- 57:07Speaker 1: the floor either. I don't blame him. Kofe is a
- 57:13Speaker 1: different story though, talk about it as we go along here. Penta,
- 57:17Speaker 1: back in the ring, came off the top Kofe caught
- 57:20Speaker 1: him with a trouble in Paradise out of mid air
- 57:23Speaker 1: only for a two count. So Kofee tried for a superplex.
- 57:26Speaker 1: He got dropped though, and that led to a Mexican
- 57:29Speaker 1: Destroyer for the wind and as terrible as that destroyer
- 57:33Speaker 1: looked on Waller outside on the floor, the way that
- 57:37Speaker 1: KOFE sold this brilliant. It looked fucking great. This was
- 57:42Speaker 1: one of the best sells I've seen yet, honestly since
- 57:44Speaker 1: Penta came to WWE for the Destroyer. So solid stuff
- 57:49Speaker 1: here in this match. When it was over, Jackie Redman
- 57:52Speaker 1: got in the ring and Penta had some promo time.
- 57:55Speaker 1: She congratulated him on his win. She asked him what's
- 57:58Speaker 1: potentially in store for you and the championship at WrestleMania,
- 58:03Speaker 1: and Penta promised payne for anyone in his way and
- 58:08Speaker 1: said that he will defend the championship at WrestleMania. But
- 58:10Speaker 1: he motioned up to the heavens, You're gonna have to
- 58:14Speaker 1: climb for it. Because of WrestleMania. It is going to
- 58:18Speaker 1: be a ladder match, And of course everyone cheered because
- 58:23Speaker 1: they love the idea of a multi man ladder match
- 58:25Speaker 1: at WrestleMania gets people excited. So now we know that
- 58:30Speaker 1: the IC title will be defended, and we know that
- 58:32Speaker 1: there are going to be several different challengers. Who are
- 58:35Speaker 1: these challengers going to be? You ask, well, I'm glad
- 58:38Speaker 1: you asked the question. I'm gonna tell you. Here are
- 58:42Speaker 1: the participants in the ladder match at WrestleMania. Penta obviously
- 58:50Speaker 1: the Dragonly, which makes sense because Penta had just told
- 58:55Speaker 1: him a few weeks ago, you want to rematch, you
- 58:57Speaker 1: got and they had a great match a few weeks ago.
- 59:00Speaker 1: You want to rematch, you got one. So Dragonly is
- 59:03Speaker 1: in there. Javon Evans, Russev and JD McDonough. Now, they
- 59:13Speaker 1: actually had Michael Cole on commentary as they were introducing
- 59:18Speaker 1: all of the names that were in the graphic, all
- 59:20Speaker 1: the faces in the graphic. They had Michael Cole on
- 59:24Speaker 1: commentary claim these men qualified to be in this match
- 59:31Speaker 1: on main event. This is what they said, blatantly lying
- 59:38Speaker 1: to us. There were no qualifiers on main event, but
- 59:42Speaker 1: they want you to believe that there were. That's about
- 59:45Speaker 1: as real as Pat Patterson winning the Intercontinental title in
- 59:49Speaker 1: a tournament in Rio de Janeiro. Maybe these men wrestled
- 59:53Speaker 1: in Rio to qualify for this, but they didn't get
- 59:57Speaker 1: any footage of it, and you never will see it
- 59:59Speaker 1: because it did didn't exist. I had to go look
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: up when the last time Russev even wrestled was. I
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: remember the match he had with Obafemi a few weeks ago.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: You know, they had that quick little three minute match,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: you know, on Raw. Before that, his last win came
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: on Main Event. That is true. It was against Joaquin
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: Wilde on Groundhog Day, So I guess maybe at that
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: time we're supposed to believe that that was a qualifying
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: match for a match they would have had no idea
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: was even happening. But that's the last you'd have to
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: go back to that to find the last time. JD McDonough.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: JD McDonough, I can't find a record of him even
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: wrestling this year. I don't think he's had a single
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: match this year. Where are these qualifying matches that they
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: are talking about? I would love to know. I'm not
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: gonna start watching Main Event to find out. But I
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: was just like, how stupid do they think we are?
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: You didn't even have to say it. That's the thing
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: I don't understand. You didn't even have to say it,
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: just put the graphic on screen and don't say anything.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: It's just so ridiculous. But I will also say Corey Graves,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: he mentioned after Cole you know, rattled off all of
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: the participants. Corey said, thus far, these are the participants
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: thus far, so it is entirely possible that they will
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: add more names to this, and there aren't a whole
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: lot of other names in the mid card floating around
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: right now on Monday Night Raw. The Americanos aren't doing
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: anything as of right now. As of this moment, the
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: Americanos are still unaccounted for at WrestleMania, not to guarantee
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: that they're gonna be wrestling each other. If they don't,
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: I could see them being shoehorned into this and it
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: goes from being was it a five way? I think
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: it's a five way now and turning it into a
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: seven way. But look, pent is going to be defending
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: his title on the WrestleMania card. I'm glad they found
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: something for him to do. You know, you look at
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: some of the names in that field, Penta, Dragon, Lee,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: JD McDonough, like this has the potential to be the
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: show stealing type of match on that WrestleMania card. I
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: don't hate the match. I just hate this bullshit explanation
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: they came up with for how they decided on who
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: was going to be participating in it. The Kingo is
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: one of those names. Well, VI Kingo is getting a
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: title match? Is it the weekend before WrestleMania. I believe
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: it might be. I guess depending on what happens in
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: that Depending on what happens in that match, he could
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: be added, I could see that, sure, I could see
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: the Matti VI kingo make it a six way. So
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: Paul Hayman, he ended up back in the ring and
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: he is name dropping Howard Finkel as he does his
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: best Howard Finkel impersonation and knew World Tag Team Champions.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: He says logan Paul and Austin theory. He said he
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: tried to give back to the community tonight by presenting
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: Brock against Oba, but then that tyrant Adam Pierson. Before
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: he could even finish saying what he was going to say,
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: Adam Pierce walks out to interrupt and he asks him
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: one more time, mister Hayman, have you checked your email?
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: Hayman said that there isn't anything that Pierce can tell
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: him that he doesn't already know. And Pierce told him
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: the Boston Police Department has dropped all charges against Seth Rollins,
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: because if you remember last week, they arrested him, so
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: all charges have been dropped. So you already knew that,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: and Hayman played it off like he knew even though
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: he clearly did not. This was the first time that
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: he was hearing this news, but he said he wasn't worried.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: He says he's a native New Yorker, fears no man,
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: he's the last manager standing from the nineteen eighties, but
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: he's also the last promoter standing from the nineteen nineties.
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: Well then, mister last promoters standing, then you also know
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: that Seth Rollins has been medically cleared to compete. And
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: Hayman was stunned. He didn't get this email. That email
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: went to spam. He was not aware of this, and
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: they played Set's music. He did not come down the aisle,
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: though he came in from behind. He had a chair.
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: He did the shield chair shot again to Hayman's back.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: Then he said, hey, up for a curb stomp, And
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: the camera is focused in tightly on Seth in the
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: corner as he's getting ready to do the stomp, But
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: then he gets pulled outside by somebody and we can't
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: see who it is. I'm like, is it bron Breaker?
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: Is that bron bron was spotted entering the arena earlier today?
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: But it wasn't bron Breaker. It wasn't any of the
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: mass Ninjas. It was Gunther. He lives. Oh my god,
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: Gunther is still employed. He is living and breathing. He
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: is back. But why we don't know. But he drags
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: Seth Rollins out of the ring and he puts him
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: in a sleeper hold, and so he's got him up
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: against the announced desk and he's just putting all of
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: his he's leaning all of his weight on him, and
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: he's saying, go to sleep, go to sleep. So Seth
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: goes out, and then he lifts Seth's head up and
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: Gunther is pointing up at the WrestleMania sign. He tells Seth,
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: that's what's waiting for you. And I don't know how
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: this even happened, but Gunther had blood like around his eye.
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: I didn't see how it happened. Maybe when he was
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: like applying all the pressure in the sleeper hole to him,
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: and maybe he bounced his head off the announced desk,
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he cut his eye on one
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: of the iPads or something. I don't know. But he
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: had blood, not a lot. It looked kind of cool,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: but just a little bit like around the eye the eyebrow.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: And Gunh at that point left we didn't get any
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: sort of explanation. They're going to leave that for another week.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: So there's a lot to unpack here in terms of
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: what happened here in this segment. The main thing is
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: Seth Rollins has been medically cleared, and I know that
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: that was something they were optimistic about. They were expecting it,
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: they were hoping for it. Nothing is ever a guarantee,
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: so not a huge surprise, but good to know that
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: he is cleared. But this means that bron Breaker is
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: not because if bron Breaker was medically clear, the match
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: at WrestleMania would be Seth Rollins against bron Breaker. That's
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: the story. That's the story. That's the reason why Seth
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: Rollins is not walking into WrestleMania as the World Heavyweight
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: Champion right because bron Breaker is the one who attacked
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: him and even though he had already had the injury
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: from the match with Cody, you know, Crown Jewel and
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: all that. Storyline wise, they were attributing it to the vision.
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: They were attributing it to to bron Breaker. So bron
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: Breaker is not medically cleared. It's for the better. Let
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: the men heal up again. That's a that's a rough
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: injury and you don't want to be playing around with
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: somebody like that. So there's no there's no great rush.
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: I mean, it sucks, it's screwed up their plans. But
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: if he's not healed, let him heal and when the
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: time is right, he'll come back and they can pick
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: up with him and seth. You know, maybe in the
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: weeks coming out of rest, maybe he only needs a
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: few more weeks, but you know, WRESTLEMANI is going to
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: be a little touch and go, so they wait until,
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: you know, the week after. You know, I'm not saying
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: he's going to be out for months and months, but
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: if he's not where he needs to be, then he's
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: not where he needs to be. You don't put him
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: back in the ring. I don't give a shit what
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: show it is. I don't care. If it's WrestleMania, I
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: don't care. If it's wrestle Fest, I don't care. I
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: don't care what it is. So brown Breaker is going
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: to be out for a little while longer, but Gunther
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: is back after nearly a month back on TV, WrestleMania
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: Match Now confirmed. They made it official later on in
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: the show. Adam Pierce did it will be Seth Rollins
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: one on one with Gunther. The explanation for it. I
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: don't think that there are, you know, a lot of
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: options here. There's a few basic explanations. The most basic
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: one and I don't think this is what this is
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: is that Gunther has joined the Vision. Dunter has not
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: joined the Vision. Guntherer does not need the Vision. But
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: they could say that he was recruited by Paul Hayman
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: and he's the newest member of the Vision. Let's throw
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: that out the window. I don't think that's what that's
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: gonna be. I honestly don't think that this has anything
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: to do with the Vision. I really don't. There was
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: no interaction at all between Gunther and Paul Hayman. You know,
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: he didn't go to check on Paul. He didn't take
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: Paul with him and drape his arm over his neck
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: and you know, walk him to the back. He didn't
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: come out before Seth had the chance to put that
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: chair in Hayman's back. I mean, he did save him
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: from the stomp. I'm not convinced this has anything to
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: do with any sort of relationship or partnership or friendship
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: or anything with Gunther and Paul Hayman or any member
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: of the Vision. This feels to me like something Gunther
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: may have did or done may have done on his own.
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: And it could be as simple as he had no
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: opponent for WrestleMania and was appalled that the man who
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: ended Goldberg's career and John seen his career and retired
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: AJ Stiles is going into the biggest show of the
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: year and he has no obvious challenger who is man
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: enough and courageous enough to step up to him, because
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: they're afraid because they saw what he did to those men,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: and if he could do it to them, he could
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: do it to them as well. And Seth Rollins was
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: just the wrong guy in the wrong place at the
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: wrong time, running around like some schmuck every single week
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: and dressed up as you know, a fucking ninja and
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: all the stuff that we've been seeing. It could just
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: be as simple as that Gunther called his shot. If
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: you're not going to bring the competition to me, then
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: I'm going to go out and I'm going to find competition.
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: Seth Rollins, You're my target. I'm going to make an
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: example out of you a WrestleMania. It could just be
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: that simple. Now, Gunther is the career killer. So do
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: we have a match at WrestleMania where he makes Rollins
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: put his career on the line. I certainly hope not.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: I think that would be very, very dumb, because there
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: is in anybody in the world, there's in anybody on
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: planet Earth who's going to be watching this show who
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: is going to buy into the idea that seth Rollins
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: is going to lose a career ending match to Gunther. Right,
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: this is the whole problem with the career killer gimmick.
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: It's something you could dust off every now and then,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: but you can't do it all that Like every big
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: match he has can't be a career match. Even if
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: you would have wrestled Ramus Stereo like raymis Stereo is
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: not retiring against Gunther. He's retiring against his son, So
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: it would have just been a match, which is what
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: this is going to be. I don't think there's going
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: to be any real stakes on the line here, But
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: if they're imagine if there were talk about giving away
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: the finish, you know, like I don't that This isn't
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: an MJF. Hangman page situation from Revolution where Hangman says
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: if I if I don't win, I'm never gonna be
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: able to challenge for the aw World title ever again,
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: which is what they've done. But this is a little
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: bit different here. You're talking about somebody who's beating people
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: and ending their careers. That doesn't really apply here. So
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: I don't see any real stipulation to this. We just
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: need to find out what the explanation is and then
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a simple one on one match,
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: and then the question becomes who wins. This is Seth's
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: first match back since injury. When he left, he never
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: was beaten for the World Heavyweight Championship. That story is
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: still there where you know he can say I was
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: never beaten. Now I want to rematch for my championship.
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: It's a little bit harder to do if he goes
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: in there in his first match back of WrestleMania and loses.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: So I don't really see this as being a situation
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: where you know, Seth Rollins can afford a loss. Look,
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: we're talking about Seth Rollins and Gunther. Either man can lose.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: It's not like they're dead in the water. But I
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: don't see any situation here where Gunther should be losing
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: this match. You're putting Seth in a situation here where
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: he should lose. How are you going to beat Gunther
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: coming off of these big wins that he's had. First
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: loss he suffers is against Seth rollins. Why why waste that?
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: So that's the only thing that kind of worries me
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: about putting these two in the ring together is that
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Seth really shouldn't be losing, but Gunther shouldn't be losing more.
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: You know, it's more important, I think for him to
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: continue to maintain this wind streak that he's on and
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: the momentum that he's built up, which I say momentum,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: but guy has been on television for almost a month,
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: But I think you know what I mean. So that's
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: the only thing. I just still feel like Gunther should
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: not be losing this match, and it doesn't need any
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: sort of dumb stipulation. You don't need to overcomplicate this,
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: you know whatever the ultimate explanation ends up being. It's
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: just two guys that have never worked together before, so
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: first time ever fresh wrestling match. They're going to go
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: in there and they're going to find out who the
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: better man is. There's no need to overcomplicate this and
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: for the people who are disappointed or underwhelmed by the match. Look,
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: I'm with you again. There's no real story here, but
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: I understand the situation that they were in. This was
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: not their first choice or their second choice. This is
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: at best their third or fourth choice. But if not this,
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: what else do these men do on that show? You know?
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: I have floated my own idea with gun Through about
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: what I'd like to see. I knew it wasn't going
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: to be realistic, it was doable, But did I honestly
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: expect them to go through with it? No? I didn't.
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: For Seth Rollins, I don't even know who else you
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: would put him in the ring with. You just put
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: the tag team titles on Logan Paul and Austin, Theory
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: rets gone, breaker is gone. Who else would even make sense?
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: It's better than nothing. I'm just happy the man is back.
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: It took long enough. Wait Eo Sky against Raquel Rodriguez. Yeah,
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: I mean the alternative was to leave them off the show,
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: and that's not much of an alternative. You cannot leave
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: them off the show. Can't do that. Neither woman here
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: got an entrance. They came back from break went right
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: into the match Osca and Kyrie. They ran out. In
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: the middle of the match, Osca is yelling at Kyrie
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: and she wants her to get involved, so Kyrie ends
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: up getting up on the apron. EO goes over to
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: confront her. Raquel sees all of this and she comes
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: in with a big boot. EO moves out of the
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: way and Raquel of booting Kyrie off the apron to
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: the floor. So EO took out Raquel, and then she
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: sees the situation outside and Osca's yelling at Kyrie, and
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: so she decides to take Osca out with her crazy
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: suicide dive. As EO was diving out of the ring,
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: her feet hit the top rope. And this is always
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: something I just sort of I kind of look away
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: sometimes because there have been dives where people just won't
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: exit the ring either fast enough or again their feet
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: touched the top rope, and so the momentum they've built
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: up as they go flying out of the ring stalls
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: and they go straight down. And that's what happened here
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: with EO. She took aheader and brained herself on the
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: floor outside barely even touched Osca. I want to say.
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: She got her hands kind kind of underneath her head
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: to cushion the fall a little bit, but not much.
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: It was like, holy shit, but she popped right back up.
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: She tried to no sell it. She seemed to be okay,
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: thank god. So she gets back in the ring. Raquel, though,
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: immediately grabbed her and dropped her with the Tehanabaum. So
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: it appears that EO Sky is going to have a
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: match of WrestleMania and Raquel won't. But Raquel got the
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: win over EO. So that was a little weird, but
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: again it was done for storyline purposes. You know. EO
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: losing this match was based off the distraction of what
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: had just happened outside, so it plays into her story.
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: Riquel has no story. Raquel has nothing going into WrestleMania
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: at best. At best, it looks like she'll be maybe
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: in Live Morgan's corner. That's about it. EO, though, is
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: going to have a match of WrestleMania, and it should
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: be Osca and EO one on one. Kyrie will be
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: out there. I could see them wanting Kyrie involved. I'm
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: sure Kyrie herself would love to have a match on
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: the card. Maybe they turn it into a triple threat.
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: I still feel like EO and Oscar one on one.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: Kyrie is sort of the lynch pin of the story.
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: She's the most important part of the match. She doesn't
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: have to be in the match, but she would still
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: be the most important part of the match. And all
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: of this should be building to her finally standing up
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: to Osca, you know, and breaking free of her grip.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: That should be the conclusion of that match. Whoever wins
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: does it. He almost doesn't even matter who wins. Uh,
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: probably EO, But the story really is centered around Kyrie saying,
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: you know, whether she wrestles or not. Now, this match
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: is not official yet, but it seems pretty clear this
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: is the direction that we're going to be heading in here.
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: So Jackie Redman was trying to get an update on
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: Seth Rollins. This is where Adam Pierce came out of
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: the trainer's room made the announcement that Seth willissel gun
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: there it is official for a wrestle medium and then
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: it led to the closing segment of the show for
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: what is this the third week in a row? I
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: believe Roman reins and see I'm punk. Roman Rerains was
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: out first He made his entrance, and he took forever
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: to Aura Farm, even before he got into the ring.
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: And then when he got into the ring, he took
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: his time. He's looking around. I'm Roman Reins. So this
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: took a while. Finally he spoke. He told New York
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: City to acknowledge him. See I'm Punk. His music played,
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: He walked out to the ring. He was in jeans,
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: he had his fists all taped up. They immediately started
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: to brawl. No bullshit, We're getting right down to brass
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: tacks here. Roman caught Punk with a superman punch, tried
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: to throw him out over the top rope. Punk, though
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: reversed it followed Reins out to the floor. Punk slam
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: Roman's head on the desk. Then he slammed it into
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: the ring post. Adam Pearson, a group of producers. They
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: run out and they're yelling at Punk and they're trying to,
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: you know, calm him down. And Rains comes back and
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: he sets up for a power bomb on Punk. This
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: is exactly what he did the week before. He power
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: bombed him through the announced dests. He's gonna do it again.
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: He gets Punk up at a power bomb position. This time,
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: Punk punches his way out, so he escapes doom. This
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: time hoists Roman up for a GTS and the producers
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: pull Roman down, and then they pull each man away
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: from each other, so we have another pull aparts, another
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: pull apart brawl. Rains breaks free and he spears poor
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: p D. Williams. What did p D do? What did
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: p D do to deserve this? He didn't do anything.
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: Tell him Hole, he was just the wrong gay guy,
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: the wrong I'm just the rough what of my all
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: time favorite just butchered segments from SmackDown back in the day.
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: How many times did he try to fix it before
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: he finally got it right? Three times? I was just
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: the wrong gay guy in the wrong place to the
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: Let me start over again, dude, Vince is standing there.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: God knows what's going through his brain as he's watching this. Oh,
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: I missed those satellite feeds for SmackDown. There was such
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: gold on there. There's gold up in Demdare Hills. Anyway,
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: Rains broke free, speared poor Pedie Punk, then scooped up
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: Roman and he dropped him with a GTS. Punk looked
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: like he was backing off he had his hands up
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: in the air. He's like, okay, all right, I'm cool.
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: I'm cool. But then he went back over and he
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: grabbed Roman and he started more punches, punches and bunches,
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: and then Punk power bomb rains through the announced desk,
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: just like Roman did to him the week before. Punk
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: gets up and he starts screaming, who's fucking old now?
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: So Punk sits down next to Roman, and this is
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: the best part of the entire thing. He sits down
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: next to Roman and he starts singing.
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: Realmen Almen Rains Roman, Roman Rains Roman, Roalmen rains, just
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: mocking him and laughing too.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: I mean, he's just he looks like a maniac out there.
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: And Pierce pulls him away and again Punk came off
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: like he had just gone off the deep end, just
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: the way he was talking, kind of like me. After
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: I watch SmackDown each week, Michael Cole talked about the
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: crazed look in Punk's eyes. Corey Graves said it had
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: been a long time since he had seen that look,
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: and that is how they went off the air. But
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: cee im Punk posing in front of all the fans
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: in New York City and Roman reigns, all laid out,
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: no ussos, no family members. This was just Punk and Roman.
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: Mono imano. That's all you needed here. They repeated the
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: same angle from last week, this time with Punk power
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: bombing Roman the way Roman did to him the week before.
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: I did like how unhinged Punk came off here towards
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: the end, you know, laughing maniacally and all that sort
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: of thing. And I will say it was a hell
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: of a lot better than what we got with Cody
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: and Randy at the end of SmackDown on Friday. That
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: pull apart brawl was extremely lame. Fans were fairly quiet
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: for it. I felt to me like they were just
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: going through the motions. There was no real intensity or
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: fire behind it. And it went on forever. I mean,
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: it dragged on for just felt like minutes on end.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: This one was the opposite, especially with Punk, in that
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: there was a lot of fire there and the fans
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: were into it, and they didn't overstay their welcome. You know,
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: it went a few minutes. It didn't feel like it
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: was overly long. Punk did not waste any time, you
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: know talk I mean neither to Cody when he came
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: out on Friday, he just came right down to the ring.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: They immediately went into brawling, but it didn't feel like
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: they were stretching for time. It didn't feel like, man,
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: they're really dragging this out, and you know, we got
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: to drag it out and wait for Jelly Roll. It
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: wasn't like they were dragging this out waiting for ihow Speed,
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: you know, to come out and get in between the
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: two of them. So, you know, it was I think
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: exactly what it needed to be. Could they have come
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: up with something a little more creative instead of running
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: the same angle back two weeks in a row. Sure? Sure,
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: And part of me was also kind of hoping the
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: Ussos would be involved, just because it did add a
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: layer of intrigue last week, especially the way was acting.
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: But they did lose their titles on this show, so
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: I guess they were unavailable here for this segment. But
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: what it means is that we only have one more
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: face to face, assuming we get one face to face
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: segment or promo with punkin Roman before we get to Wrestlemani,
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: which is going to be the final raw because Roman
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: is not on the show next week. You look at
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: some of the recent promos, maybe it's for the better,
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: because it just seems like they hit a wall and
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: they ran out of material. That's kind of how it felt.
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: How many more weeks are they going to talk to
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: each other and be able to keep things interesting. Maybe
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: it's not such a bad thing that Roman disappears for
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: a week and then comes back and they could do
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: the hard sell again. I wouldn't be surprised if we
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: get a contract signing on that raw, April thirteenth. I
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: believe it is. Yeah, it has to be, because I'm
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: flying out on the fifteenth to Vegas. So they did
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: a contract for the other main event, why would they
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: not do one for this one? Doesn't really make sense, right,
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: So maybe we'll get a contract signing, which I know
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: is such a very creative, creative tool to use in
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: and of itself. I didn't hate this. I wish they
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: would have done a little bit more, But I'm okay
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: with what they did here. Like I said, especially coming
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: off the garbage that we had at the end of
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: SmackDown on Friday, I'm content with what we had here.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: Although kurrieus what Punk'll be doing on the show next
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: week that I don't know now. He did promise jay Uso,
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: you're oweda rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship. If they
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: were going to do that, though, then they would have
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: announced that tonight. So I don't know what he'll be
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: doing next week. I didn't think it was a bad show.
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: There was stuff that I just thought was boring, and
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: there was stuff that I liked yet again, third week
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: in a row, Oba and Brock the best part of
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: the entire show. But the wrestle media card now is
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: really filling in in a way that it has not been.
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: We got a bunch of new matches announced tonight, La Knights,
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: I mean, what else is there to say? What else
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: is there to he's become He's becoming a punchline. I
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: hate to say it, but he's becoming a punchline on
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: these shows each week. You know, they got to get
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: something going with him and get all of the attention
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: away from these little slip ups that there have been.
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: I can't say La Night against I show speed excites me.
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: If that really is what they're planning on doing, I
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: don't know what else you do with La Night if
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: he's not involved in that, I truly don't. But we
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: got gun through back we take our wins where we can.
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: We've got Gunther back on the show, so that's good.
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: What does you think of Raw from Madison Square Garden
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: six percent thumbs up, thirty two percent thumbs down. For
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: tonight's show, Skip Bayless says La Nights is a joke. Yeah,
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: I guess the last couple of weeks, the joke's been
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: on him. We got to get away from that. Can't
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: be can't be a punchline here on this show. That's
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: not good for your career. You don't want to be
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: a punchline on the show. Let's get to your super
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: chats again. The like skull was three point fifty and
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: we are currently at five thirty nine. Man, smash that shit. Uh,
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: the Sheltered Kid. I wasted five hundred dollars on a
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: Versace shirt today, As I told you, you should have
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: wasted that five hundred on me here on the stream,
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: I would have given you. I would have given you
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: the crown for the night, and you know you'd be
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: far more entertained around here than you would go in
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: shopping for VERSACEI enjoy the shirt, though he's trying to
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: be the rock with his five hundred dollars, Versace shirts,
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: Big Money Jackson, Mamara versus Skeletor. Who you got? Oh,
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: I got Skeletor, I got love for Mama. But I
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: gotta go Skeletor and the Gremlins against the Critters. Gremlins
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, I gotta go Gremlins. USO's tag team
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: theme isn't bad. I like it. It works. Yeah, I
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: mean they needed to update it because it didn't make
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: any sense for them to be coming out to Jay
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: USO's theme. Right, It's just me Oose and he's coming
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: out with his brother. I mean that doesn't make it sense.
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: Robbie Triple H is definitely the other voice God, I
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: hope not. Also Poor l A Knight. Yes, Big Money Jackson.
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: I'm glad Roxy is back. But she is a terrible brawler, dude.
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: She's like five feet tall. I mean, what do you expect.
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: She's five foot nothing. She's not a convincing brawler. It's
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: not her specialty. Like I say the same for Alexa
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: Bliss when she ran into the ring to start brawling
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: with whoever it was in the ring. She's not a brawler.
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: She's not the brawling type. She's not a brawling bird
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: dried chicken. Would you consider doing the Opa femi strut
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: at hog No, Phil, Triple H just had to be
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: out there. He never misses an opportunity to be out there,
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: at least in this segment. It kind of added something
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: since he is the authority. No pun intended. He is
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: the authority on the show, but yes, he loves to
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: be out there when he can. Dry chickens is logan
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: Paul I show speed jelly roll, screw it. Wwe may
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: as well invite mister Beast Jamils Benitez Smith. I don't
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: know who that is, Kai sinat Ice Spice, I know
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: who Kay Sinat is, and mister Beast I don't know
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: who these other fucking people are. Also. I wish EO
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: Sky gets down and dirty and have an extreme rules
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: matter WrestleMania be knowing Triple H he wants his favorites
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: clean and pollen. Can we stop with the extreme rules stuff?
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: I mean enough, extreme rules is stupid. I don't want
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: Eosky and Oscar out there hitting each other with fucking
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: kendo sticks. Okay, put them in the ring ding ding
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: ding and let them do what they do best. Let
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: them go out there and wrestle We don't need the plunder,
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: we don't need the bullshit. It is completely played out.
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: It is completely unnecessary. Take that shit somewhere else. Give
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: me a wrestling match between Osca and Eosky. That is
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: all I ask for. Gmb Raquel praise is a sysop.
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: It was meh against both Stephanie and EO. Aaron says,
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: three pull aparts in the last two shows. I'm telling you, man,
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: they love their pull aparts. Look, I love a good
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: pull apart brawl as much as the next guy, but
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: not when you fucking do them every every week and
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: they're not even that good. Nick Grosso after tonight, I
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: assume we are getting EO against Oscar at WrestleMania, and
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: we are getting I Show Speed and the Vision against
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: l A. Knight and the Ussos. Yeah, I mean, I
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: guess you could do that. I guess that would be
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: a way to get them all on the show. Jordan, Uh, Nope,
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: not doing it, Jordan, Thank you, Lakers. Pats Adam Cole
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: was born. What did the docs say? It's a babe.
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: Robbie says this show felt like a bunch of random
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: randomness thrown together in a rush. At a bunch of botches.
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: There is quite a bit of random randomness on these
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: WWE shows heading into WrestleMania. You're not wrong about that, hey, Oscar,
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: I show Speed against La Night to WrestleMania fourteen minutes,
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: four and three quarter stars. Not in this lifetime. Dev
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: to desk. What is your favorite WWE MSG pay per view?
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: Probably Summer Slim ninety one. Mister Vivor Series two thousand
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: and two is a memorable one, you know, first elimination Chamber.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: But I think I'd have to go Summer Slim ninety
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: one personally, or you know what I mean. WrestleMania ten
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: was a great WrestleMania. Yeah, either one of those. Either
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: one is fine. BROI build is terrible. Card looks awesome. Yeah,
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: Card is feeling in nicely. Retro Koh Gunther takes the
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: match for Haman, and in return, Gunther wants Haman to
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: arrange a match for him with Brock at SummerSlam. It
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: could be an iou situation that I could see that
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: being a possibility, sure, because he wants to be the
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: one to retire Brock. I don't know, Man, I don't know, Man.
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: I just doesn't feel to me like Oba is winning,
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: and I don't see how you could just move on
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: from that, Devin says, by her cell more unbearable female
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: authority figure Dixie Carter or authority era Stephanie McMahon. Dixie Carter,
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: she had no business meeting on TV. Mark Kwan says,
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: solo and chat surgery went good. Thanks for the well wishes, Solo.
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: When will you attend another WrestleMania. Maybe the next time
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: they go back to New Orleans. If they were going
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: to be in New Orleans this year and I was
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: already making plans with friends and then they pulled it
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: away and they decided to go back to Vegas, and
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: so that was the end of that. So probably if
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: they go back to New Orleans, I think a bunch
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: of us would probably go. Aaron says Odds seeing Stephanie
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: McMahon getting a babyface reaction, Dude, where have you been?
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: She's been getting baby face reactions every time she comes out,
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: Like every WrestleMania she comes out, and she's been getting
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: baby face reactions for the past few years. Uh LEO.
- 1:37:11Speaker 1: I like Russev, but if he can get a match
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: at WrestleMania, I don't want to hear Anyone saying Keana
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: James should not get a match at WrestleMania this year, well,
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: Keana James is not an important part of the roster.
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: Has barely even been on TV for six months. If
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: there was a multi woman ladder match for the US title,
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: sure you could put Keana James in there, But otherwise
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: there's no spot for Keana James on the show. The
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: only reason russev is in there is because they're just
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: sticking a whole bunch of people in a ladder match.
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: Unless they do the same thing for the women, Keana
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: ain't getting a match this year, nor should she. There's
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: no obvious match for her. Also, they need to make
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: the US title match a triple three, right with Keana
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: because I don't want to see a straight up one
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: on one with Tiffany and Julia. Well, I got news
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: for you. If they do make it a triple threat,
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: it's gonna be Tiffany, Julia and Chelsea Green, not Keanna James.
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: Fox with a nineteen ninety nine says brother, Oh your
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: dog be brother, Thank you. Fox. Alexander with a four
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: ninety nine For all those people that pay ten k
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: to ride the Cody bus with him, I bet every
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: time the car horn is pressed, the sound is what
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: do you want to talk about?
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: Now?
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: I figured the car I figured the horn sound is
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: probably the woe from his theme song Bace Bears says,
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: Dusty will forever own. Stephanie McMahon can't believe she was
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: upset about that. Be a break that was. That was
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: a great moment, Saint Clair. Bigger flop Nathan Jones, Hide
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: and Reich or Gable Steveson And could this have worked?
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: Razor Winds King of the Ring ninety five beats Diesel
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: for the title and drops it to Bratt. No, I'm
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: not saying it couldn't have worked. I just I don't
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: see it. I'm not feeling it. I'm not feeling that
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: a bigger flop though. I mean they were all flops,
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: especially Nathan Jones and Gable Steveson. I think Vince looked
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: at Nathan Jones and had big, kind of big plans
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: for him. But Gables Thievesen came in with a lot
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: of fanfare and you know, his amateur wrestling credentials, medalists
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: and all that, and to see how he flamed out,
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: I would have to go Gable Steepson on that Bace
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: Bears isn't jay Uso supposed to be in main events?
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: Not anymore. The main event jay Uso is no more.
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: It is now mid card jay Uso. The Earth is healing.
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: Stone cold Et is with us with in nineteen ninety nine, says, oh,
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: hell yeah, says the Garden is my town. Then I
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: remember a young solo monster cheering for stone cold Et
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: when I whipped that Undertaker at SummerSlam ninety eight, when
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: he and his Wanna bee brother Kine joined that piece
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: of trash McMahon, or when Undertaker inadvertently knocked out stone
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: cold during that match. I forgot to mention that part.
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: Beas Bears says, buy or sell Biggie or Kofee as
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: WWE champion. I'm gonna buy on Biggie, sell on Kofe.
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: Jim Davis, the WWE is eating champions at Wressell McManus,
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: she needs to turn. She is a lot better at
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: being a heel. The WWE is eating champions at wrestle.
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: What the hell does that mean? I have no idea
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: what you're talking about, but it was entertaining as all hell.
- 1:41:46Speaker 1: Thank you, Jim stone cold Et, give me a hell yeah.
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: If you're still using compu sir as a tumbleweed blows
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: by how many people in this chat would even know
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: what COMPU served was. You know, I used to have
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: a subscription to PC World magazine. I used to be
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: so excited men when the new issue would come out,
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: just thumbing through to look for all the new like
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: programs and tips and tricks or games or whatever it
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: would be. It was a level of excitement there. I
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: missed that. I missed that everything was online though I
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: missed that. Hey, Cheza, good morning, Stone cold Et, thank
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: you again. Aaron says Triple H saw how over Oba
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: is and wanted to get the rub San Juan Wolf
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine feels like Brock and Oba should be
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: main eventing instead of Cody versus Randy or Punk against Roman.
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: It feels that way, doesn't it. It feels like a real
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: WrestleMania main event, a super pony actually. Jeremy Rose. Jeremy
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: Rose says, brock Oba kicking off WrestleMania, right, I see
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: a fuck finish. They don't want either to lose. Now,
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: you can't do a fuck finish. You gotta have a
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: winner in the mess. You gotta have a winner, you
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: gotta have a loser. No fuck finish or WrestleMania super Pony.
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: If Owens is not the mystery caller Orton has been
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: talking to and doesn't come back after Mania, is it
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: fair to say he might be done? No, because there
- 1:43:51Speaker 1: was never a timetable assigned to when he would be back.
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: I didn't really have him figured in to be back
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: until the second half of the year. I'm pretty sure
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: that was one of my predictions for this year. So
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: if he's not back around Mania time or shortly after Mania,
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: that doesn't mean anything. Man had neck surgery that takes
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: time to heal, so I would not read too much
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: into that. Also, am I gonna get pinned by I
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: Show's speed at WrestleMania? Yeah? Everyone, Please keep La Night
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: fans in your thoughts in prayers this evening. Brian Finelli,
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: the wife and I saw Rowan on Saturday at pubics
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: or publics. God, jeez, man ah, what a weekend. Huh
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: The wife and I saw. I'll tell your wife they
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: saw Rowan at publics while he didn't have the lantern
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, you know why, because fucking Solo Socoa
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: still has the lantern while he didn't have the lantern
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: on him for me to throw in a cater infested lake.
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: He did put his shopping cart back in the cart
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: corral like a decent human being. Well, that's good to know.
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: That's good to know. Good. I hate people who don't
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: do that. I hate people. You know what I hate
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: the most, You know what I fucking despise. And it
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a supermarket. It could be anywhere.
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: When you go and you go to park your car
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: in the parking lot and someone has left the cart
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: in a parking space that is not a parking space
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: for a cart. Put the fucking cart back, you lazy ass.
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: More do you think people have soured on Hangman lately? No,
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: I don't think so. And Alex says, if at least
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: one more name is going to be added to the
- 1:46:11Speaker 1: ladder match, then it has to be Phoenix. I mean,
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: what are we doing here? I don't know. Every other
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: member of the match is a rock star, gunh there's
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: been overpushed relative to his star power. Relative to his
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: star power. I'm glad they're pushing an actual professional wrestler
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: who goes out there and puts on great matches. What's
- 1:46:42Speaker 1: not to love. I've seen plenty of people who were
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: over pushed, who did not know how to work, and
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: they were all sizzle and no steak. It's nice to
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: have someone that actually has the steak all laid out,
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: even if there's not a lot of sizzle there. Gun
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: there's a throwback. Enjoy him. There aren't very many people
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: like him. Enjoy him. Who would you rank above Triple
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: H and the Attitude Era? Everybody? Who are the household
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: WWE names in USA right now? Household ww names Roman
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: Reigns and Cody Rhoads. See I'm punk to an extent.
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: I do feel like more people probably have heard of
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: Roman Reigns and Cody Rhoads though, and evidently, if the
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: merch numbers are to be believed, Stone Cold, Steve Austin,
- 1:47:37Speaker 1: and The Rock those are still the biggest household names
- 1:47:40Speaker 1: from w W UH Robert Peterson, Hey Solo bold prediction
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: double turn for Cody and Randy. I don't think it's
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: I don't think that's so bold. I see there being
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: more of a chance of a double turn in the
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: Sammy and Trick match. Personally, Alex says, don't think this
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: was the must see raw as advertised. There is no
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: such thing as a musty WWE show. They don't exist
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: anymore now with the weekly shows. Raw hasn't been musty
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: in over a decade at least. SmackDown has never been
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: musty like truly mussy, not in the last you know,
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: decade plus. There is no such thing anymore as a
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: mussy WWE show. They don't exist. Morris is getting tired
- 1:48:39Speaker 1: of people making excuses for Hobbes. What excuses are there
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: to be made? They fucked up by putting him in
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: the Royal Rumble. If they weren't going to debut him,
- 1:48:52Speaker 1: there was no point in him being in the Royal Rumble.
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: They should have just held him out. You want to
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: put him in dark matches, put him in dark matches
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: and save him for the Raw after WrestleMania. There was
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: no point to him being in the Rumble other than
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: just two pop people. That's it. Literally the only reason
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: Super Pony don't understand people who don't like a gunther. Look,
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying people everyone has to like him,
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: but there are people who are like, I don't get it,
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: I don't get it, or he's overrated. No, he's not.
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: You don't have to get it, you don't have to
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: like it. His push is not an accident. He's pushed
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: for a reason. And I like the fact that there
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: aren't very many other people on that roster like him,
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: who wrestle like him, who look like him, who talk
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: like him, who work like him. We need more of that.
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: In mac tub do you see Triple H hogging the
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: spotlight and Cody against RKO. No, there's no reason for
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: him to be involved. We already got Stephanie. We don't
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: need the other one. One of them is enough. We
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: don't need more than one. Sena, Yeah, well, yes, well Sena.
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: Of course, John Cena would be the household name. I
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: hear him in every Honda commercial now, I hear his voice.
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: Soon as the commercial comes on, I go up there
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: he is, there's John Cena. So again, the Wheel said
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: three point fifty is what we needed for the likes tonight,
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: and we are currently at let's see five eighty seven.
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: I'd say we smashed that goal. What do you think
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: May's fifty six months of channel membership? Look at this guy?
- 1:50:42Speaker 1: Buy or sell? What world series did you hate more?
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: Two thousand or twenty fifteen, twenty fifteen, although the Yankees
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: fans were insufferable in that first series, but fifteen, yeah,
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: two thousand and six, don't even don't even get me started.
- 1:51:09Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: Did you say, Honda brought to you by Voice Keys?
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: So ashamed this man, Ben, I'm very disappointed. That was terrible.
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: All right, here we go. I don't know did we
- 1:51:43Speaker 1: do it on Friday? I don't even remember if we
- 1:51:45Speaker 1: did be the booker on Friday. I don't think we did.
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: We gotta make it a good one. We have Randy
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: Orton and I guess many Randy Orton in this photo
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: here Matt Riddle, who remembers who remembers RK brow feel
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: so long ago. We never did get a proper ending
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: with those two RK bro against Shelton Benjamin and Charlie
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: Hass the world's greatest tag team. That'd be a kick
- 1:52:30Speaker 1: ass match. I'd love to see that match. Match number two.
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: It Shotzi in her tank. I gotta talk to her
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: about maybe we can get the tank in House of Glory. Yeah,
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: she's our HG Women's champion. She's been all over the place.
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: I mean, she's working everywhere non stop, and she brings
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: that belt everywhere with her always representing we gotta get
- 1:53:01Speaker 1: the tank. The only thing is at the NYC Arena,
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: that ramp. It's not wide enough. It's not wide enough
- 1:53:07Speaker 1: for the tank. Shatzi against Tiffany Stratton. Look at this.
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: We have champion against champion, folks. We got champion against
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: champion here and be the booker. And now our main event. Oh,
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: we got Rush. When you mess with the bull, you
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: get the Herns. Rush was in the main event of
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: Dynamite on Wednesday against Darby Allen. Now he's in the
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: main event to be the booker. Hey, we got a
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: collision match here in the main but we got a
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: damn good one. It's a Rouche against Kevin Knight the jet.
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: Look at this jacking Brett Hart's gimmick. Just change the
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: color of the glasses. Now, Kevin Knight and Rouche would
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: be a very good match. And I do believe that
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: is a clean sweep.
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: Light.
- 1:54:28Speaker 1: Yes, how about that. We brought back be the booker.
- 1:54:33Speaker 1: We got a clean sweep sweep him on out. That's
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: what I like to see, especially after we have a
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: night where we miss it and then we finally do it.
- 1:54:43Speaker 1: I want to make sure it's a good one for
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: all of you. Looks cooler than Brett. Yeah, I mean
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: he he's got a good look. You know, he's got
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: the shades Mike Bailey, I'm not sure about that anyway.
- 1:55:02Speaker 1: Thank you guys for a fun stream talking Monday Night Raw.
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: Gotta wake up in the morning because we got work
- 1:55:10Speaker 1: to do. We have episode number eight of the Uncrowned
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: Wrestling Show, courtesy of Uncrowned and Yahoo Sports. Gonna be
- 1:55:22Speaker 1: a good one. Got a lot to cover, a lot
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: to talk about on that show, including that terrible story
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: of the stabbing or was there a stabbing at the
- 1:55:36Speaker 1: wrestling show the other day? There is some debate about that.
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: That'll be one of the many stories we talk about
- 1:55:41Speaker 1: on the show tomorrow. Be aware that the next time
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: I'm with you live, the next time we have a
- 1:55:46Speaker 1: chance to be the booker, will be Friday for Smackdan.

- 1:55:58Speaker 1: Uncrowned dropping later in the day Tuesday Night Titans, and
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: then we have a live SmackDown recap on Friday night.
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: And if you missed it episode nine fifty God, what
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: did I just do? Nine fifty seven. I so many
- 1:56:13Speaker 1: shows I've I've lost track of the numbers. Nine fifty
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: seven is up right now again. We were number two today,
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: number two on the Wrestling Charts Apple Podcast in the
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: US top wrestling podcasts across the board, and there we
- 1:56:28Speaker 1: were right there, nearly at the very top of the list.
- 1:56:32Speaker 1: I love seeing it that you try to do the
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: same for Uncrowned. No April fools, that's right. You ain't
- 1:56:38Speaker 1: full of me. You ain't full in me, not on
