  Speaker 9: Wait, first day back the show, tod they let you
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: do this on the other podcast.
• 14:41
  Speaker 14: It looks like okay, it looks like I've only done podcast.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Don't mean anything to me standing there with a knife
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: in his hand. It's not a little way. I swear.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Oh man, uh do wrest that's talk about wrestlelmating to
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: for a little bit. Here the desperation that they've gone to,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: having Pat McAfee coming out and try, you know, first
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: of all, insulting people give him the finger, and then
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: he goes to tell you, you know what's the most healisus
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: thing you could do, Tyler, it's lower prices on tickets. Yeah,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: that's the most healish move you could ever do. I
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: was like as soon as he said twenty five percent off,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I was like, you son of a bitch.
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: No.
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: The most healish thing that he did was talking like
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: between the Friday before and his past Friday, was talking
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: about how we're doing it for the fans because his
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: company is sinking and it's about them.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: But then come out and flip them the BRDE. I
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: would just like expect like the JR. On commentary reaction,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: like we would react to like Triple H all the time.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, yes, do sick lower ticket prices.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Old Jim ross In there said.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: First thing he did was come back.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Like I think Gunther choking him out was
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: probably what was best for him, and he should have
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: stayed away after that. God man, we were, but then
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: they were like, you know what this you know what
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: this rivalry needs Pat McAfee and jelly roll. Not only
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: is it we got Pat mcaew, but now we got joke.
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: So multiple times, let's be clear about who they are,
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: because they.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Know who they are. Who did you say?
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: We said they decided we needed Pat mcae the company
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: the company right right?
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: They clear. There appears to be a clear difference of.
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: Creative opinion between t k O parent company and ari
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: Emanuel Rumored specifically and Triple H and w W E creative.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: It appears that he Ari.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: Emanuel, is the one who made the call to insert
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: jelly roll and Pat McAfee into this ship because for
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: some reason, he thought that ship was gonna boost sales.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: What what killed me was celebrities.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: What killed me was uh Aria Manual being quoted as
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: saying he believes Pat McAfee will be the next Sylvester Stallone.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Get the fuck out of here.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, did he get that idea?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Jesus chrazy? What are you smoking?
• 17:30
  Speaker 14: Bro?

  Speaker 2: What ship?
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: What fever dream did you wake up from? And you
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: were like, I got it.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I could just picture now Doyle, they're they're smoking with
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Pat McAfee. Is you know what, I bet you would
• 17:44

  Speaker 2: we got with Pat and Cody Rose this week because
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of it kind of spoke truth, you know,
• 18:26

• 18:42
  Speaker 2: of entertaining.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: What also killed me was like him talking about like

• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's my only guest because they
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: said Saturday night only, and they said.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: Day Saturday was lagging behind Sunday right ticket sales, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: then that's five.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, according to Wrestling According according to wrestling Tics, the
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: first night of the event currently has forty two thousand,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifteen tickets distributed with a configured set
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: up of forty five thousand, seven hundred and sixty seven seats.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: This leaves one eight hundred and seventy two seats still available,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: along with one and eighty combo tickets. Now, Wrestling and
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Saturday has seen a strong late push with two thousand
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: in one hundred and five tickets distributed over the past
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: few four days. So tickets a little bit of a bump,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: a bump that they wanted to see, you know. But
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: did we need Pat McAfee to come out and give
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: us the finger? And I mean that is that what
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: we really needed? Me I'd much rather have had a
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: face wrestler come out and you know, give us the
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: newest But whatever, I mean, all right, you know what else,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Doyle Entre like you, guys.
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: I wanted just another point of information though, about those
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: tickets sales that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: You brought up. Yeah, mind you?
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: You said, what forty two thousand for Night one and
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: forty three, forty.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: Four for Night two, forty five, Yeah, forty.
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: Five forty five for Night two. Mind you, this is
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: in the exact same stadium as last year's WrestleMania at
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: Night one sold fifty eight thousand, five hundred tickets, in
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: Night two did sixty thousand tickets, so even they are
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: still substantially behind last year.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 21:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean in all in all, the talk of
• 21:11
  Speaker 15: the price of tickets, which, by the way, Ticketmasters lost
• 21:14
  Speaker 15: a huge lawsuit today.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys saw that.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: I saw that they've been ruled a monopoly.
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah, nice little ice on this ship sandwich cake. But yeah, yeah,
• 21:25
  Speaker 12: I mean yeah, it's the ticket prices absolutely. That is
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: a contributing factor.
• 21:29
  Speaker 15: Creative is also a contributing factor a little bit.
• 21:32
  Speaker 12: But the international and I've said this before, the international
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: drivelers aren't coming to this country right now, you know.
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: And Wrestmania is a huge global event that brings people
• 21:42
  Speaker 12: from all over the world.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: And that was one of the really cool.
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: Fucking things when it was here in Philly.
• 21:46
  Speaker 15: It was just this I mean, it's a forest town,
• 21:49
  Speaker 15: you know, so there's always you always here, all.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Kinds of different languages right over.
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: But then we just got turned up to eleven that
• 21:55
  Speaker 12: particular week because of all the international folks that came in.
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: And they're just not doing it this year, especially our
• 22:00
  Speaker 12: neighbors to the north from Canada.
• 22:03
  Speaker 15: Uh all right, Like tour tourism is down across the board,
• 22:06
  Speaker 15: like twenty five percent.
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: I think the Vegas is down like thirty something.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: Vegas has been struggling now, so this is.
• 22:14
  Speaker 15: Kind of a perfect storm of several different things coming
• 22:17
  Speaker 15: together all at the same time.
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: Uh So, it's not you can't. I mean, it's really
• 22:22
  Speaker 12: easy to blame it on the ticket prices, and sure
• 22:24
  Speaker 12: that maybe is the number one culprit, but there's a
• 22:28
  Speaker 12: lot of contributing factors here, not just the ticket prices, right,
• 22:33
  Speaker 12: but yeah, like the back.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: To back nights.
• 22:37
  Speaker 11: You know, like I think part of the international folks
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: that want to come over and want to go to
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: New York one year and go to New Orleans next year,
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: I've got to San Diego the next year, you know
• 22:44
  Speaker 11: what I mean, they don't necessarily want to go to
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: Vegas in Vegas, in Vegas, and you know, so, yeah,
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: there's a lot of a lot of a lot of
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: factors at a confluence.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: Here, you know.
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: Oh sure, I definitely believe there were probably some people
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: who looked at is that, oh they went back to
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: Vegas this year? Well, we did Vegas last year? Do
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: we want to do that again? And then at that point,
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: it's not no longer about the location, it's about well,
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: what's the event itself, what's the venue or what's the
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: I mean, not the venue, but what's the card. If
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: that card ain't enough to motivate them to come back
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: here again this year, yeah, they may say, now we'll
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: stay home this year, whereas New Orleans.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: They might have been like, hey, I've never been to
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: New Orleans.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all right, well green shirt guys got to
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: go back to Vegas twice.
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: She's started like, fuck, question, Uh, isn't Russell Meinia and
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: Saudi Arabia next year?
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Here's that rumor?
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: Yep, I mean it.
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: Is, but it is subject to change, I guess exactly
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: on international you know.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, okay, absolutely.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I mean so then that would mean that people.
• 23:52
  Speaker 15: Who are Saudi Arabia PA in June.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: That's already cancels, right, that's up in there now.
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: I don't believe it is, but that many people are
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: saying that they're looking for alternatives at the very room.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah hershey Pennsylvania.
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: Saying, you know, turned it out there ready, you know
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: Santanger's I don't know.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but now that's so like.
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: If you have your people that have been constant goers
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: and like mainstream audience uh personnel, you know, audience goers
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: for how many years decades and they can't go overseas,
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: you know that that ruins that too. You know, you
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: got to the people that you recognize when you watch
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: your different PLS.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: And Monday Night Roll and SmackDown. Imagine that that hits
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: them a little bit too.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, anything else you guys want to bring up
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: before we get into this day one m hm, And
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I guess I.
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: Think we've covered the most of the cluster fuck that
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: is this show except for the one thing that just
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: hit my mind. That is, well, since we're getting into
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: the card, before we talk about the matches that are
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: actually happening, we I just want to take a moment
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: to say, fuck them for the match that we're not
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: getting on this amazing media this year, and that is
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: fucking Io Sky and Oscar.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard saving that we are.
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: I still cannot believe that we are getting a WrestleMania
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: without the best wrestler on their fucking roster. Y.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Actually, like I saw actually that that that kind of
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: popped up today first time since Wrestling thirty three, that
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: we won't have any Japanese talent on the WrestleMania card. Shinsky, Nakamura, Oscar,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Kyrie sing Sky and even it's Azawa. Yeah, so all
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: left off the card this year. No Japanese, Like, just
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: what the hell?
• 26:11
  Speaker 15: It's also it's also I want to say since twenty fifteen,
• 26:15
  Speaker 15: the first time one of the Four horse Women isn't
• 26:18
  Speaker 15: involved in a title world title match.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well that's ten ten.
• 26:25
  Speaker 12: Eleven years, so yeah, it's pretty impressive.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like we'll get into it, but like
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: there's there's several wrestlers left all the car that I
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: honestly think have been grinding this past year, whether it's
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: in the United States title scene or something card.
• 26:44
  Speaker 12: You can put together a pretty good car to people.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Who aren't on this card.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh.
• 26:49
  Speaker 11: Yeah, very much between Tiffany.
• 26:51
  Speaker 15: Stratton and EO and Mellow and Dragon Off.
• 26:56
  Speaker 12: You know, it goes on and on and on.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: Those just the people I thought I loved to of
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: my head.
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we're just Missingtorian who's not there?
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: As who is there?
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, there's there's too much talent. If it's not
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: just injury, it's just nothing from creative Yo. And the
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Kabuki Wars has been cooking for months, yeah, months, and
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: when you have rivalries and stuff that's been cooking. And
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: we all thought to ourselves the payoff as Mania, the
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: payoff as Mania, right, and hell, we even got a
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: fucking match between uh EO and Kyrie, thinking Okay, maybe
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: this will lead into a Mania match tonight.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Like no, Adam will come out and.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Say none of that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: That's what makes it even crazier.
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: You brought up like in this time where they've been
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: creatively struggling to come up with stuff, where they seem
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: to be resorting to all right, y'all go out there
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: and fight, and we'll send the you know, management to
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: go break y'all up after a few minutes. And that's
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: been like the storyline of seems like half of these
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: damn feuds. Meanwhile, you got this actual, long running, developing,
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: organic storyline.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Right here happening the people are invested in, and you're like.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Eh, hard pass, Yeah, it's a shame and.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: A dream match in the payoff. Yeah, and Oscar I.
• 28:28
  Speaker 16: Found in my notes, I made a list, Yeah, Mellows, Solos,
• 28:32
  Speaker 16: the co Dragon Off, Damian Priest, Julia Stratton, Tim Stratton,
• 28:35
  Speaker 16: Roxy Kyrie, Either El Grande Americano, Roquel Ray Phoenix.
• 28:41
  Speaker 12: You know, like you can put together a great show
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: of just thousand names.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: You know, well, you said, what if they started adding
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: a third night?
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: Please?
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Like I get, I get the two nights setup was
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: born of the pandemic, you know, I know. That's that's
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: how out of their their two night pay per views.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: I think it. No, No, there's like more than one now,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: isn't it. But there's one.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: So yeah, there was started off for the rest of me.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh you mean to p l e's with two nights. Yeah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: and I wouldn't be surprised if we get a fucking
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: another one that they turn into two nights, Like, uh,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I have no idea what rumble? No, well, no,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I mean it's the only one big enough they I
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: don't know why they would make Survivor series concidering now
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: it's just board games. It's not even Yeah, these two
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: days are killing me because sometimes some of these matches
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: just feel like just put together matches, And we're gonna
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: talk about these matches just.
• 29:49
  Speaker 17: Put together, as I prove, and you can put on
• 29:54
  Speaker 17: a twelve match card and yeah it is long, sure,
• 29:58
  Speaker 17: but they're still good, you know what, And especially when
• 30:01
  Speaker 17: you don't put twenty minutes between matches.
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, filled with advertising, dude, the advertising, the recaps.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: You know, when me and Tyler were throwing SmackDown recaps
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: and dre it was kind of easy to go back
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: and talk about Rawle because Smack that was like, we'll
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: do it for you, We'll help you outs. Like it's
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: like something that you don't even have to watch the
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: other show because the other show is going to fucking
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: fill you in. But yet if I watch XT, they
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: can't tell me what happened on Rawlers back then or
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: vice versa. Something rarely.
• 30:37
  Speaker 12: It's a double edged sword with a story that never ends,
• 30:41
  Speaker 12: you know, because you're constantly in theory anyway, you constantly
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: have new people coming in that haven't you know, haven't
• 30:48
  Speaker 12: seen anything, so you have to tell them, oh, this
• 30:50
  Speaker 12: is someone telling, this is someone telling, this is why
• 30:52
  Speaker 12: they're fighting, and this is what happened last week, and
• 30:55
  Speaker 12: this is what happened last year.
• 30:56
  Speaker 13: Like so, I it is annoying, and I do complain
• 30:59
  Speaker 13: about it a lot, and you're absolutely right, But at
• 31:02
  Speaker 13: the same time, I kind of.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Get it because in theory anyway, you're constantly.
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: Cultivating new viewers hopefully, uh you know, whereas when you
• 31:11
  Speaker 13: only have when you have eight or five eight episode
• 31:15
  Speaker 13: seasons of the Boys, you just go back and watch
• 31:17
  Speaker 13: season one through four, and you know, whereas this you.
• 31:21
  Speaker 12: Can't tell you can possibly watch every single episode of
• 31:25
  Speaker 12: Monday night ra just you know what I mean, it
• 31:26
  Speaker 12: would take you years, you know.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's the never ending fucking story. There's no
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: off season. And it's funny, like you said, like talking
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: about people who haven't seen wrestling trying to fill them in.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I have friends who come to WrestleMania parties don't really
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: watch a lot of wrestling. The only watch like wrestling
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: a big PL's you know.
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and that's why during every entrance, so go remember
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: that last year when you say so it's such and
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: touch and blah blah blah blah.
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: But you know, like content, they give me a new
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: backstory and lore and history or whatever.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: And when you know all of it, it is kind
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: of but I get it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 15: Yeah that that at least, that at least has a
• 32:17
  Speaker 15: semi reasonable explanation.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the show times are just way too long.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're wasting. We have three hour smackdowns that
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: are just filling in garbage just because we have nothing
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: And it was a raw or SmackDown a week or
• 32:34
  Speaker 11: two ago, had like four matches in the three hour show.
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I thought, I thought that's supposed to be a
• 32:40
  Speaker 12: wrestling show.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I get it. You're trying to basically drag
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: out the next few weeks. But like, there's so many
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: other people who aren't on the who aren't even on
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: the car. Do you think you let them get some
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: fucking TV time a little bit? Maybe planning some season
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: for after Mania? I don't know. Whatever, Well, let's get
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: into night one. Is everybody ready to get into Night one? Here?
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Sir?
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: All right, we're going let's get ready to get ready. Yeah,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: we're going back to Nevada, back to the Deligient Stadium.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Apparently not all of us are going back, only nine
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: of who was there last year. I actually wondered too,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: who went last year and is decigning to go back again?
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Who doubled up? And I'd like to see how that
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: turned out financially for them going back to back in
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: the price difference from wrestling forty one and forty two, so.
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: I bet savvy buyers could get in cheaper.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, with all, with all the sales and the and
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: the whatnot. I bet you if you worked
