  What tack that one got down? Oh ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
• 4:09
  chilling of all ages. Welcome to another episode of PCW podcast Championship Wrestling.
• 4:14
  I am your host, Wayne also known as Semi Dried Chicken, and
• 4:16
  we are doing the post Elimination Chamber twenty twenty four show in Perth, Australia.
• 4:23
  And I am not alone. These guys are eager beavers. They want
• 4:26
  to talk about all these wonderful matches for the chamber. Let's let's bring him
• 4:30
  in good at mate? Yo? Yo? What did do pc W crew?
• 5:09
  All? Right? Right? Uh? You know what, let's minutes
• 5:15
  before the show started. Minutes, not not really minutes, but he relatively
• 5:20
  early, got a message, got an update theme, mis guy. And
• 5:26
  he's like Wade Barrett with these themes here, just constantly changing his theme every
• 5:30
  week. I don't know who he is anymore. Here he is h Doyle.
• 6:04
  Oh it's me, It's me. It's a Doiley just getting ready for
• 6:09
  Saint Patrick's day. Becky Lynch's old music. Dude, talk about old like,
• 6:14
  that's what that is. She used to remember, she used to come
• 6:17
  out and do a jig I do for dark days. I do remember those
• 6:23
  days on NXT. Honestly, like the NXT like the golden years. Like
• 6:28
  if you go back to like the earlier seasons, they're so worth a watch,
• 6:31
  like seeing people like Becky Lynch's doing craft like that. Get to see
• 6:38
  Charlotte and Bailey and Sasha Base and you know guys like Seth Rollins and Roman
• 6:44
  Reigns like early in their career. Oh yeah, goofy show. Yeah.
• 6:49
  I saw on YouTube. W w's YouTube channel had a playlist of I think
• 6:55
  they put it out shortly after the Rumble of Bailey, like a career playlist
• 6:59
  of some or her accomplishments, and it started off with a lot of those
• 7:02
  early NXT matches and it was like, oh yeah, he saw young Charlotte,
• 7:08
  young ish, I mean, well not youngest, but young Sasha and
• 7:13
  young Bailey and all those matches when she was just still the hugger with the
• 7:17
  ponytail to the side, trying to prove herself and oh yeah, it was
• 7:23
  getting busy back then. What was Roman's name back then? Was it like
• 7:29
  it was like Leaky or something like that. I forget what it was,
• 7:33
  but yeah, I mean, yeah, definitely want to talk about a guy
• 7:35
  whose character is nothing close to what he is now, let me talk about
• 7:40
  a massive change. Holy crap. I mean this is like pre Shield,
• 7:45
  before the Shield was even formed, and then before the suckering suck atage,
• 7:50
  you know, Roman reigns. So that's the service a lesson to anybody,
• 7:57
  like, don't judge these people who they are now because you never know what
• 8:01
  they could turn into. Yeah, all these people that you'll think, are
• 8:05
  they trash now they sucked? Ain't all that? M h give them about
• 8:09
  a couple of years. I mean it also kind of sometimes like some people
• 8:15
  you love in NXT get to the main roster and just suh oh yeah yeah,
• 8:20
  yeah, I'm just saying that nobody X because I got so mad at
• 8:24
  some of the people I really liked when they got to the main roster,
• 8:28
  just got ship all over them. So I was like, you know what,
• 8:30
  I'll just wait till they get to the main ross. I'll all familiarize
• 8:33
  myself a little bit, but I'll wait till they get to the main ross.
• 8:35
  Tell don't get too invested. Yeah, though the NXT as a whole
• 8:41
  has paid off as like cycling out good you know, spin out good wrestlers
• 8:46
  for the main roster. I mean, yeah, we do get our fair
• 8:48
  share of like you know, flops or whatever, but nine times out of
• 8:52
  ten we get some pretty damn solid wrestling. Yeah, I mean I think
• 8:58
  it's a net positive. There are some things I would nitpick. There is
• 9:01
  quite a bit of sameness that they didn't used to have. Everybody kind of
• 9:05
  does the same stuff. You know, everybody does that what I can't believe
• 9:11
  it after a two count, you know, like there's certain things that like
• 9:16
  where I feel like back when, back when they were just plucking people out
• 9:18
  of the territories and stuff, everybody had their own unique kind of style and
• 9:22
  whatever, and yeah, I kind of feel like there's a kind of a
• 9:26
  homogeny that didn't used to exist. But I gain that's just kind of being
• 9:31
  nitpicky now, But you're one hundred percent correct about that, because when people
• 9:35
  had to come up through the territories. They had to prove themselves in those
• 9:37
  territories. They had to get over in those territories. So to do that,
• 9:41
  you had to develop some sort of character or some sort of persona.
• 9:45
  Whereas when you're already in a pre existing basically minor leagues or you know,
• 9:52
  building grounds or whatever for you to develop yourself, you kind of all start
• 9:56
  off as basically this same cookie cutter format. You know, although all the
• 10:01
  women have the pretty much the same outfits and the same looks and such,
• 10:07
  and only a small handful of them really developed bona fide characters in NXT that
• 10:13
  could translate to the main roster or that can get them over in NXT the
• 10:20
  way older wrestlers had to get over in the territories. So now you're you're
• 10:24
  one hundred percent correct about that, And it's not always guaranteed that what they
• 10:28
  were in NXT is gonna be who they are on the main roster. We've
• 10:33
  seen, like we've already mentioned, with people like Roman and Becky and Bailey
• 10:39
  and Charlotte, all of them who are vastly different from what they were back
• 10:45
  then. Like can you imagine Rocky Maya Villa in NXT, would he have
• 10:50
  ever found the rock? Probably? Maybe not, you know, but I
• 10:56
  mean if especially like if you're a baseball fan or something, how many times
• 11:01
  have been like, oh, we get this kid at double A or Triple
• 11:03
  A or whatever, and then he gets to the majors and he sucks.
• 11:05
  You know, like sometimes people just can't handle that step up, you know.
• 11:11
  Like I look at and I'm not saying that the Creed Brothers, is
• 11:13
  that what they are the cannonball guy. I'm not saying they're shitty or whatever,
• 11:18
  but in NXT they were world beaters and they've kind of looked a little
• 11:22
  shaky on the main roster. And I'm not saying they won't get there.
• 11:24
  I think they will get there, but it's just it's sometimes and it's i
• 11:31
  mean we're obviously none of us are performers or whatever, but like the just
• 11:33
  the difference in settings. Sometimes you never know who's gonna sink or swim.
• 11:39
  Do you guys remember no Way to tell Doyle? Do you remember the Ascension?
• 11:46
  Yeah, that's a perfect example. NXT Buried Brutal Raiders were just about
• 11:56
  the same. I mean when they when they were on NXT, they were
• 12:00
  running Havoc and then they came to the main roster. Now you know,
• 12:05
  they became almost like a joke of a tax team. They were their names
• 12:07
  were changed three times, and their finishers were the Viking Experience. Right,
• 12:13
  oh my god, Yeah, it sounds like a ride. Let's take the
• 12:16
  Viking Experience. It's not Disneyland. Uh? What else? What else I
• 12:22
  want to bring up? Oh? We sold some more shirts, sold some
• 12:26
  more PCW shirts, And just between now and let's say WrestleMania, we're taking
• 12:35
  the PCW main shirt and we are taking five dollars off whoa why? Because
• 12:46
  we can, and because it's WrestleMania season, we're gonna get more shirts out
• 12:50
  that. We're gonna try to reach our goals so we can get some more
• 12:52
  designs out there. Also, I saw you know that, uh that they
• 13:00
  are selling on ww's shop. They're selling Philadelphia WrestleMania shirts already, and I
• 13:07
  wanted one. But then I thought about it, looking at like what shirts
• 13:13
  are going to be wearing, Like night one PCW shirt, right night two.
• 13:18
  I got in my closet, I'm looking. I got the Rock and
• 13:24
  I got Roman Raine shirts. Do I wear those? I don't have seth
• 13:28
  Rollins's shirt. I don't have a Cody Road shirt. What do I do?
• 13:33
  Do I do I stick to what my roots, what I've always liked
• 13:37
  in the past. That's why I had these shirts in the closet. That's
• 13:39
  why I have so many of the rock shirts, because I was always a
• 13:43
  fan. Do I stick to my roots or do I jump on the Cody
• 13:46
  bandwagon. I go get myself an American Nightmare shirt. It's it's hard decision.
• 13:54
  It's hard decision. I know, I'm absolutely buying one of those Philly
• 13:58
  WrestleMania shirts, especially since they're in Eagles colors. Giving it it's at the
• 14:01
  link. Oh yeah, yeah, definitely. I don't know if I'm gonna
• 14:05
  buy it in advance or if I'm gonna buy it there. Part of me
• 14:09
  kinda wants to check out that whole what WWE world or thing. Yeah,
• 14:15
  apparently the gift shop for that is free, right, I mean, if
• 14:18
  nothing else, You're right, if nothing else, like a walking there and
• 14:22
  just windows shop and buy a shirt. Yeah, I mean, my my,
• 14:28
  you know, I think you should buy it while you're there because you
• 14:31
  can save yourself the shipping and the handling fees that w W shop likes to
• 14:35
  throw at you. It's just a lot of that part right there. Or
• 14:39
  mean Doyle, No, there's always people in the parking lots on them.
• 14:43
  Yeah, I was gonna say, and you'll have all the chance to get
• 14:48
  you a bootleg on the y. Yeah, is gonna be serious. Yeah,
• 14:54
  And then you know what though, uh you think about this, SA,
• 15:00
  but give it Like one week after WrestleMania, those shirts will all be
• 15:05
  like half off on shop zone dot com, like for sure, like you
• 15:09
  know, wdwe's just gonna want to unload all those shirts. They're like,
• 15:13
  we don't want any more of these shirts half off like guaranteed. So that's
• 15:20
  that might be another time where I might like, oh, like they have
• 15:24
  like sweatshirts and hoodies and stuff, and I was like, oh, maybe
• 15:26
  that's when I'll capitalize on something a little bit pricier. So but yeah,
• 15:33
  go to Pro Wrestling Teas to pick off our PCW shirts. Just type in
• 15:37
  Podcast Championship Wrestling. You can also buy a bunch of other wrestling shirts on
• 15:41
  that site. It's crazy seampunk shirts are going still on sale there. I
• 15:46
  guess they're trying to get rid of all of the sampunk inventory on Pro wrestling
• 15:50
  te's you know you throw that. I mean because they they print their stuff
• 15:54
  to order. Yeah, I think they do. I think it's printed.
• 15:58
  It shouldn't be a huge doc pile and merchandise. Yeah, it's just so
• 16:03
  to make him keep his ship on the Yeah, because it seems like they're
• 16:07
  just pushing to like get his merch out there, and you know what,
• 16:11
  Like I really hope he has some way shape or for him as at WrestleMania,
• 16:18
  like whether he does comentary or whether he's like the MC like the host.
• 16:22
  Yeah, he's another another person I could see being a host. Yeah,
• 16:26
  Like it sucks that he just needs to be there, you know,
• 16:29
  like just to have his presence like damn. Yeah, I mean I thought
• 16:33
  I thought he and Biggie we're both pretty good during that press. Absolutely,
• 16:41
  I could definitely see him in that role. Yeah. I don't know if
• 16:45
  he'll be on the actual broadcast itself given his injury, but you know,
• 16:52
  I could see maybe him having an inn ring segment. But again, I
• 16:56
  also don't know about that. If I had to put money on it,
• 17:00
  my guess is him and Biggie would be again part of the pre show like
• 17:03
  they were with the rumble, but not the rumble. What's you call it?
• 17:11
  The WrestleMania press conference that pre show. Yeah, I'd be shocked if
• 17:15
  they didn't find something for him to do. Yeah, right, you like
• 17:21
  sign, he says, a huge contract that he signed. Yeah, and
• 17:23
  it's like holy craft. But I mean, I think we'll continue to see
• 17:29
  him. I wouldn't. I won't be surprised to see him on commentary on
• 17:33
  rob or SmackDown, you know, in the next couple of months or whatever
• 17:37
  they're gonna keep him on TV, but especially if they're gonna keep pushing this
• 17:41
  Drew storyline. M Yeah, it doesn't make much sense for Drew to keep
• 17:51
  talking about him and him not to be around at all and clap back in
• 17:55
  some way shape or for him exactly. Like the rate that we're going,
• 17:59
  Like the direction I kind of like, you know, this is a payoff
• 18:03
  in the summer. I'm kind of predicting, but like the rate we're going,
• 18:06
  I see Drew, you know, walking out restumating his world champion and
• 18:10
  whatever pay per views we have in between now and summer. How would he
• 18:14
  become world champion? What do you do to title shot? You know what,
• 18:17
  I'm assuming we'll just get there however we get there. We'll get there
• 18:23
  however we get there. But like I see seeing Punk coming back, and
• 18:29
  this feud is staying hot, right Like we talked about this last episode,
• 18:32
  this is a feud that's staying on the back burner all it could be all
• 18:34
  summer. Whenever Punk comes back, will make this the Summer Slam feud.
• 18:38
  Punk beats him for the world title. You know, then bam, you
• 18:42
  got Punk now has the world title at the end of the summer. But
• 18:48
  don't you dare say that? Do you sound up a bit in the championship
• 18:53
  match? God damn it. You know what Drake tell us about this pay
• 19:06
  per view? Tell us, let's kick off the show for the Elimination Chamber.
• 19:10
  Yeah yeah, I mean it took place from Perth, Australia. They
• 19:14
  had about just under sixty thousand people there. I think the final total,
• 19:18
  said was like fifty seven and some change or fifty eight and some change.
• 19:22
  It aired at butt crack of dawn over here in the States for us.
• 19:27
  Yeah, which quick real, quickly pause. What time did you guys watch
• 19:32
  this? I just want to confirm all three of us here I watched that,
• 19:37
  like maybe like I got up at like nine o'clock Saturday morning because I
• 19:42
  wasn't even about to try to force that five o'clock shit, Like, no
• 19:45
  chance in hell. I got up at like nine o'clock, did what I
• 19:49
  planned on doing, cooked myself a nice breakfast, came upstairs ready to watch
• 19:55
  it. Pull up peacock, get ready to hit play, and it says
• 20:00
  replay will be available soon, And I'm like, the fuck you mean available
• 20:06
  soon? I know, damn well the show ended like an hour ago,
• 20:10
  but the hell take it so long? But well, this signal as a
• 20:15
  long way to travel, so right, I'm guessing they probably included the post
• 20:21
  press conferences in it as well, which I didn't watch. But yeah,
• 20:26
  I mean, like within maybe like ten minutes, it was ready. So
• 20:30
  I just sat down and watched it like normal Saturday morning, not thirty ish.
• 20:34
  I think something like that. Yeah, I'm actually in the same boat
• 20:38
  you are. We got up, I like looked at the clock at like
• 20:44
  it was like four thirty nine forty. I looked at the clock and I
• 20:48
  was like, fuck yourself, Yeah, go fuck yourself. I went right
• 20:52
  back to bed and I did the same thing. I like woke up like
• 20:56
  nine ish and I tried to watch it let me, and I was like,
• 21:00
  this is some bullshit because when it was on the WW network, we
• 21:03
  wouldn't have this problem. I was like, I don't I don't like this,
• 21:07
  Like why can I not join and like rewind it whatever? Yeah,
• 21:12
  you really ought to be able to start it in progress. It really it
• 21:17
  sucks. Well, you know what I think in the network, wasn't it
• 21:19
  like you would start it but you couldn't rewind it until it was like through
• 21:23
  or something. I think it was something like there was like a catch to
• 21:29
  it because it was kind of it's kind of a real pain in the dick.
• 21:33
  But yeah, this is still that sucked, and we're gonna have to
• 21:40
  put up with this, you know, in the future when they go to
• 21:41
  other countries to continue this dull. When did you get around to it?
• 21:48
  I think I watched it in two sittings. I watched some of it that
• 21:52
  afternoon, probably around one or two, and then I watched the rest of
• 21:56
  it at like twelve thirty at night. M But I mean, I already
• 22:02
  knew everything that was gonna happen before I even turn it on. It's I
• 22:04
  am incapable of any self control over over saving myself from spoilers. I don't
• 22:14
  really care. I mean, it was chalk. We all knew who was
• 22:17
  gonna win every match, so it's it's the it's the journey, not the
• 22:21
  destination sometimes. Yeah, kind of hard to worry about spoilers when you're dealing
• 22:26
  with one of the most predictable pos ww's put on in quite some time.
• 22:32
  Yeah, last episode, I mean that I was really you're really only watching
• 22:40
  to see what the spots are because you know what the outcome is going to
• 22:42
  be. But that's okay. Sometimes when things are logical, it makes sense.
• 22:49
  Uh, it's okay, I think to know what's gonna happen. It's
• 22:53
  when things are fucking goofy and you know, nonsensical. Uh, that's when
• 23:00
  I that's when I don't want to know, you know. But I think
• 23:06
  everything that happened made sense for the stories that have been ongoing and will be
• 23:10
  going forward. So it didn't really bother me that. I kind of figured
• 23:15
  I knew everything that was going to happen. Yeah. Yeah, so I
• 23:19
  guess kicking things off prior to the actual pole itself, we got a match
• 23:26
  that we did not talk about in our preview show because it had not been
• 23:29
  announced, and that was the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match featuring the Kubuki
• 23:34
  Warriors defending against Candice Lay and Indie Hartwell, why because of the indies from
• 23:41
  Australia and got to give the hometown home mee some spotlight and in their hometown,
• 23:48
  which I have no problem with whatsoever. I'm willing to set aside the
• 23:52
  fact that this title match was completely unearned. In no way, shape or
• 23:57
  form whatsoever were they number one contender is at all? But you put on
• 24:03
  for the hometown, so I'm okay with it naturally, and they used it
• 24:07
  on Raw mm hmmm that they weren't or Chelsea Green or maybe somebody said,
• 24:12
  how did they get a title shot? Yeah it was Zoe got into the
• 24:18
  audience and said, hey, look we know yeah yeah, and that's smart
• 24:22
  booking in my opinion, Like Zoe Stark and shanea baselet has passed my complained
• 24:26
  about them getting that title shot and then completely subsequently went on to beat the
• 24:32
  ship out of them on Roll that Monday. So you know, at least
• 24:36
  it wasn't completely a waste like they They used it to fuel to further other
• 24:41
  storylines. Or just further the overall storyline of the women's tag division. So
• 24:45
  that was fair enough. Obviously, I did not watch the match because why,
• 24:55
  I mean, a surf his purpose gets some Aussie talent in front of
• 24:57
  the crowd right away. You know. It's actually one of the better showings
• 25:02
  I've seen out of Canvas Lay, who I think is she's like pretty good
• 25:07
  at the actual physical act of performing professional wrestling moves, but just has fucking
• 25:14
  no connection to the audience. What. Yeah, I just thought it was.
• 25:18
  I thought it was a little sloppy, like some of the Yeah,
• 25:21
  I wish would have been a little faster paced exactly. Maybe that's what it
• 25:23
  was, horrified dark match, but like, yeah, and he got you
• 25:30
  know, the crowd and kind of warmed up here, you know, oh
• 25:33
  we're starting now, Okay, gets a little warmed up. You know.
• 25:37
  I don't know why this couldn't have been on the actual card. Yeah,
• 25:41
  I don't understand. When you only have four the fucking matches, it feels
• 25:45
  kind of degrading almost, like the fact that you would include them on the
• 25:48
  actual card. But yeah, I mean it's what's separated by a few minutes
• 25:53
  of recabs and then it's like, oh, we're now we're starting to show.
• 25:59
  But hey, guess what, like the women's title tag titles were defended
• 26:02
  on a pay per view. Maybe, yeah, if we only have five
• 26:06
  matches, three of them are women's matches, there's that. Yeah. I
• 26:10
  mean like, meanwhile, you know other titles, but sure, car yep,
• 26:18
  yep, yep. So that match happened. It was it is what
• 26:25
  it was like when you say that, I know what matches you're talking about.
• 26:30
  When you're like that match happens, you always say that I love it.
• 26:37
  So moving on to the actual pl itself, it kicked off with the
• 26:42
  women's Elimination Chamber match, which I'm noticing is a bit of a trend with
• 26:47
  ww p l e s. They almost always start off with a women's match,
• 26:52
  especially if it's I almost say, a gimme pay per view, but
• 26:56
  one that has a men's and women's version of it, like they did that
• 26:59
  this year with the Rumble. They kicked that off. That kicked off the
• 27:03
  World Rumble was the Women's Rumble match, and then' uh what then war Games
• 27:10
  then Survivor series kick off with the women's War Games match. Yeah, I
• 27:14
  think I think that's what happened. I think. I mean, it's an
• 27:18
  effective tool because obviously we know the women are gonna show out when there and
• 27:22
  there's those type of matches, they're always gonna bring it. They're always gonna
• 27:26
  tear the house down, and it's a good way to kick the paper view
• 27:29
  off on a high note. So what I mean frankly, Uh, I'll
• 27:33
  say more about the slater, but judging by the state of the mat by
• 27:37
  the end of the night, I would have been thrilled to go first.
• 27:41
  Oh yeah, that thing went through. So if you want me to go
• 27:47
  first, I'll go first. Me me right here. Yeah, it did.
• 27:51
  It did sound a little weird on this show, Like I didn't really
• 27:56
  really pay that much attention to it, but it was certain times where I
• 27:57
  heard spots and I'm like, rings sound a little different. And the Australia
• 28:04
  it was hard enough for them to even get the chamber there alone. Yeah.
• 28:10
  I don't know if it was because of that, because of the delay
• 28:12
  or whatever, but that looks like they did not have their lighting together.
• 28:17
  Uh, and they got more apparent. It was more apparent than the men's
• 28:21
  match, but just fucking weird shadows. Yeah, so affected because it was
• 28:26
  still daylight, but like to put the lighting on the whole show. Yeah.
• 28:33
  Yeah, it was really noticeable in the men's elimination chamber matches, Like
• 28:37
  sometimes there's just be a shadow over Drew. I'm like, guys shadow,
• 28:41
  complete shadow, and their body would be lit up. Its weird an outdoor
• 28:45
  arena. Right, we're gonna have these kind of issues. I mean,
• 28:49
  I guess so, but you would think they would be able to control that
• 28:52
  lighting a little bit better to make it, especially when they've got the whole
• 28:55
  ring under a huge canopy. Yeah, I think that's what was causing maybe
• 28:59
  so of the shadows was I don't know if it was the chamber itself that
• 29:03
  was that was causing certain shadows, or the pillars holding up the canopy that
• 29:07
  were casting shadows at weird spots or what. But yeah, it was definitely
• 29:11
  noticeable at times and jarring. Well you gotta remember though, is like when
• 29:15
  we're looking at lighting, uh, you know, it also has to go
• 29:21
  through the actual structure of the chamber, and that's gonna definitely throw some of
• 29:25
  the lighting off inside the ring. But what I did notice is when they
• 29:30
  would pan out like really far they what has kind of changed and Doyle,
• 29:37
  you and me are going to appreciate this kind of ship. Is they turned
• 29:41
  down the lights in the crowd. They're no longer like shining huge lights into
• 29:47
  the crowd, like blinding you so you can't see the damn ring. I
• 29:52
  mean, Doyle, that're lighting. Yeah, and it makes yeah, and
• 30:00
  it makes me excited for WrestleMania knowing that maybe we won't be blinded the whole
• 30:04
  pay per view because honestly, like it's like the Wells Fargo where rawl will
• 30:11
  be the night after which I'm still contemplating on going, uh the that you
• 30:17
  know, any seat in the house. I feel like it's a good spot
• 30:19
  for wrestling. I think, you know, it's just one of those arenas.
• 30:22
  It's just the size, it's I mean, me and Doyle are you
• 30:26
  know we had the nosebleeds and it's still good seats, right, I mean
• 30:32
  yeah, that's that's a pretty well laid out arena. Yeah, so good.
• 30:36
  I mean I go there for hockey all the time. Yeah. If
• 30:37
  they don't blind, then there's no there's nowhere bad in there. I mean
• 30:44
  there are places that are better than others, but there's nothing shitty. You
• 30:48
  know, It's not like there's nowhere where you're sitting behind a pole or in
• 30:51
  a seat that's facing the wrong way unless you're sitting behind the WrestleMania time.
• 30:59
  Yeah right, Oh my god, who knew all you had to do is
• 31:03
  just get rid of Kevin Dunn to get some decent crowd lighting. The small
• 31:07
  things were noticing gentlemen. Right, So back to the match itself, you
• 31:18
  know, Yeah, after all, the four competitors of Bianca Belair Live,
• 31:22
  Morgan, Uh, Raquel Rodriguez, No, she started off Bianca Live.
• 31:30
  What do you call it? Naomi? Yeah, I'm sorry. Naomi and
• 31:34
  Timothy Stratton all into the ring. Then we got our two competitors who started
• 31:38
  off the match, which were Raquel Rodriguez and Becky Lynch, and we got
• 31:45
  a good uh and Naomi started, Oh, you're right, you're right,
• 31:49
  You're right. I'll standing corrected. I was just about to say, because
• 31:52
  I remember them. Naomi and Becky had a good sequence of chain wrestling just
• 31:56
  kind of start off the match, which was which it was nice. Wasn't
• 32:00
  quite as fast paced as I would have liked, but it was a good
• 32:04
  sequence of just good old fashioned chain wrestling back and forth, which again nice
• 32:09
  way to start to matchine by time. How many times did you watch this
• 32:16
  match? How many times did I watch it? Yeah, Ily watched it
• 32:20
  the one time. Okay, because I thought the same thing. The first
• 32:23
  time. I was like, oh, man, I didn't think I didn't
• 32:25
  know I wanted a Becky and Naomi program. But then I watched it a
• 32:30
  second time and they both looked like they were underwater. They both looked sloppy
• 32:36
  ship. It was slow. They both settled in as it went on.
• 32:40
  But on that second watch, I was like, again, I'm saying it
• 32:45
  was flawless. Well, yeah, I'm not saying it was false, because
• 32:49
  you could definitely see even be watching it the first time, I could see
• 32:53
  how telegraphed what they were doing was. It wasn't quite as fluid as you
• 32:59
  know too wrestlers who maybe have better chemistry with each other or or such.
• 33:04
  So I kind of get that point that you were saying, But overall,
• 33:07
  still nice to see a sequence of chain wrestling from women that, you know,
• 33:13
  something that we usually don't see from them as often. Tre You're absolutely
• 33:17
  right chain wrestling. Have you ever seen anybody hang from the from the side
• 33:22
  of the elimination chamber and twerk. I would take that as a no.
• 33:30
  But that is the fine chain wrestling you were talking about. I was like,
• 33:37
  I think Nami just just turked on Becky hanging off the side of the
• 33:40
  chamber. I'm like, check under new. I mean, well, speaking
• 33:49
  of nail Me and her offense, I mean she did use that cage quite
• 33:52
  effectively, not just k Yeah, the leg drop that was a nice spot
• 33:57
  where she did that split leg drop onto two of them. That was a
• 34:00
  dope spot. Also, I think it may have been Becky that she caught
• 34:05
  like with her thighs and like literally like use her thighs butt just ram her
• 34:10
  face into the cage. Like. Yeah, there were some good spots and
• 34:14
  some nice creativele uh. I forget what the move is called, like a
• 34:20
  ship uh summer summer set roll off the top of the pod onto somebody,
• 34:27
  the sunset flip unset flipped, thank you don't summer set. Yeah. But
• 34:39
  I mean, like I said, nice spots throughout the whole match. I
• 34:42
  mean Becky hitting the uh using the disarmor on Tiffany I think it was on
• 34:46
  Tiffany or live through the using the actual cage itself for leverage on it.
• 34:52
  So and Tiffany Stratton. I think Tiffany Stratton kind of showed out the most
• 35:00
  in this match. Dude. She was like amazing during this match. I
• 35:06
  mean, yeah, there's multiple spots she had from like taking Becky and and
• 35:13
  Naomi on her shoulders at once, like she almost did like a I was
• 35:16
  waiting for, like a John seen this spot there and then like the swanton,
• 35:22
  Like, tell me, what's the difference between Jeff Hardy and Tiffany Stratton.
• 35:29
  One of them took a swanton off the top of the elimination chamber and
• 35:34
  guess what it wasn't Jeff Hardy. This if this is what we're getting for
• 35:40
  female wrestling going forward, for women's wrestling, this is awesome. I mean
• 35:45
  she's yeah, she's only twenty four. I think she's only been wrestling for
• 35:49
  like three years or something. Yeah, and that's that's promising. That's like
• 35:52
  awesome. Yeah, let's get she's got. I think we've been in a
• 35:57
  golden age, but it's just about to get a whole lot better. I
• 36:00
  think, now, Doyle, this is one of those coming up from NXT,
• 36:04
  like this is the one that you know, the nine out of ten,
• 36:06
  Like this is like the one yeah, I mean I never really I'm
• 36:09
  familiar with her a little bit, and you know, because it becomes apparent
• 36:15
  at a certain point that some of these people are going to be, you
• 36:16
  know, going forward, are going to be huge people to start looking out
• 36:21
  for son, you know, like I saw that her match with Becky Lynch,
• 36:24
  so I watched her a little bit obviously more since she's been on the
• 36:28
  main roster. But holy fuck, she's only twenty four. Reason only twenty
• 36:32
  seven. Yeah, you know, Bianca, Becky Bailett all still have great
• 36:37
  years ahead of them. We're in the next couple of years are going to
• 36:42
  be really special. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. The asset that really works
• 36:45
  in Tivity Stratton's favor as far as her move set is her background as a
• 36:50
  gymnast. You can see it in all the flying moves that she does.
• 36:53
  Her Swanton, like Jeff Hardy Swanton was almost an immediate flip over, like
• 37:00
  you didn't really have to cover a whole lot of distance. But Tiffany Stratton,
• 37:04
  because she has that gymnast background, She's able to cover much more distance
• 37:07
  before she makes the turn into the Swansa and it just makes it so much
• 37:12
  better. Plus her her natural her lines in her form, which so much
• 37:16
  from exactly extends from that gymnast background. Her moon salt, they call it
• 37:22
  the world's prettiest moon salt. That. I mean, it's hard to argue
• 37:25
  she's probably got the nicest moon salt I've seen since Kurt Ankle every Son Michael
• 37:32
  say that he's seen that. He found the gymnasts tend to pick up wrestling
• 37:37
  a little faster than some athletes coming from some other sports. And it makes
• 37:43
  sense, yeah, because as a gymnast, you have to be a master
• 37:46
  of your body. Your body is awareness exactly. That's what Charlotte was before
• 37:54
  she started wrestling. Gymnast was that Charlotte? Okay, yeah, that's what
• 38:01
  she was before, because like, you know, another female who does moon
• 38:08
  salt pretty well for her size as Charlotte, and Lacy Evans also was one.
• 38:15
  You know, uh well, they blew it with her, but I
• 38:19
  mean, yeah, keep your eye on the Olympics. The Summer Olympics are
• 38:22
  coming up. Watch the gymnastics. They are all fucking ripped, man,
• 38:28
  and the women yeah rip. Like, I think she's probably way too small.
• 38:35
  I mean, I think Alexa Bliss would tower over her. But can
• 38:37
  you imagine Simone Biles and a w W E ring. The kind of shit
• 38:42
  she could do some versus Biancabella or Boocket amazing. Yeah, but Pianca is
• 38:47
  like a foot and a half dollar. She would look so tiny. She's
• 38:52
  like five eight or something. She's tiny some old Yes, Oh, she's
• 38:57
  like four to eleven. That's what I meant. I meant like four eight.
• 39:00
  She's tiny. Yeah, but I say five eight and meant for it.
• 39:04
  Yeah, she's short as hell, but like fucking all packed with she's
• 39:09
  amazing, amazing. Hey, you guys like thinking about the attire for some
• 39:16
  of the women during this match, Uh do you go? Yeah? I
• 39:21
  think Bianca's outfit was pretty cool. It was like almost like a well Andrew
• 39:25
  thought it looked like a Princess Leah outfit almost, That's what I thought.
• 39:29
  I thought it looked like job By the hot Princess. And Becky Lynch had
• 39:32
  the Scott Hall fucking look. I don't know if you guys noticed Quell she
• 39:38
  had no makeup on because I guess she uh, she couldn't with her the
• 39:45
  way her I guess the way her skin breaks out. Maybe she might have
• 39:49
  allergy fashion because it looked like her face was kind of swallowing up towards the
• 39:52
  end of the match, having a reaction of something. You She acknowledged it
• 40:00
  on Instagram afterwards that the condition that she has. I don't remember the exact
• 40:06
  name of it, but it's the acronyms m ACS, mass sell mass activations
• 40:14
  cells syndrome I think, or something like that. Yeah, but yeah,
• 40:19
  she said that during the flight to Australia it flared up on her, so
• 40:22
  that's why she was unable to, you know, wear makeup like she typically
• 40:28
  would or like most of the women typically does. But I still applaud her
• 40:30
  for brave, being brave enough to come out there and without makeup and still
• 40:36
  perform. And yeah, no doubt, obviously this is probably going to be
• 40:39
  a new normal for her, so something to be to expect. I just
• 40:45
  hope that she can manage it in a way that doesn't negatively impact her wrestling
• 40:51
  career in any unfortunate way, so that you know, we don't have to
• 40:57
  she doesn't have to miss like another three months of wrestling because she has like
• 41:01
  a severe outbreak. Hopefully she can manage it in a way to keep you
• 41:06
  know, severe outbreaks like that to a minimum like she pops up on raw
• 41:14
  or pl e without makeup once to the blue move And honestly, it could
• 41:17
  be a I wouldn't be mad if it was a silver lining that turns out
• 41:22
  to have other women be take a chance and like not have before you say
• 41:30
  that, like be careful, careful with that. I wouldn't be opposed to
• 41:37
  having the women come out there just without makeup, just because not not he
• 41:43
  has a gimmick thing or something like that, but not have to be as
• 41:47
  dulled up as they get, which I mean, yes, it's nice to
• 41:50
  see, it's a good visual, but ultimately we're there to see them perform
• 41:55
  makeup and all that is seconds aren't wearing makeup. Yeah, the makeup is
• 42:01
  secondary. It's part of the obviously the the pageantry of professional wrestling and all,
• 42:07
  but it's not a necessity. And they've done it, I mean they've
• 42:10
  done it before. There you can go on you on ww's YouTube and c
• 42:15
  a segment that they filmed a few years ago where they had a number of
• 42:20
  the w W women do like a no makeup photo shoot. I believe Bianca
• 42:24
  was a part of it. Ria Ripley was a part of it. You're
• 42:29
  unrecognizable. I'm sorry, It's just there's a picture of Dana Brooke, and
• 42:32
  I was like, who the fuck is that? Sure? Some of them
• 42:37
  you can see like without making me like it's a huge difference. But then
• 42:42
  people like Biaka just as fucking gorgeous without makeup as she is with it.
• 42:46
  I mean, eo Ria, all of them still look completely fine without us.
• 42:52
  I mean again, that's I guess wishful thinking on my part. And
• 42:58
  again I'm not saying it has to happen. But if that ends up being
• 43:00
  a byproduct of Rackel Robbie is coming out wrestling without makeup on, is that
• 43:07
  other women on the rosters start to do it just out of a choice,
• 43:10
  just by choice, And I think that's a win. Yeah, And I
• 43:15
  really like her. I guess I didn't really realize it until she's come back,
• 43:20
  and maybe it's you know, uh uh applause for you know, overcoming
• 43:25
  whatever her weird illnesses or whatever. But I hope, I hope, I
• 43:31
  hope she gets something more meaty to do uh in this coming year, because
• 43:37
  she's I mean, she has won a couple of tag titles, I think,
• 43:40
  but mostly she's just kind of been there. I hope she gets uh
• 43:45
  a little more to do. I say, did you guys notice so I
• 43:52
  know, I'm like kind of like veering back here to the chamber. Do
• 43:54
  you guys notice some newer things with the chamber, Like they have cameras inside
• 43:59
  the pods? Now? Yeah? Was that new? I couldn't remember.
• 44:01
  I think we may have seen cameras in the positive like never like on the
• 44:06
  Titans tron, like individually in the pods. I wish they played that up
• 44:09
  a little more. I mean, I'll I guess I'll talk about it more
• 44:13
  in the men's match, because Logan Paul did all kinds of funny ship and
• 44:15
  then show it on the broadcast. Also, I knew it was like over
• 44:20
  one hundred degrees they were talking about there, so you could see that they
• 44:22
  had fans inside the pods, which was nice. So these these people were
• 44:27
  like, oh yeah, you can see. I saw a quote from Randy
• 44:30
  saying something about that, like because the original, the original chamber was I
• 44:36
  think they were chains for the pods, and now they're like closed in there.
• 44:39
  Yeah yeah, brutal in there. Yeah. I mean, I guess
• 44:44
  it might not be as necessary if you're in an arena that's temperature controlled to
• 44:47
  a certain extent, you just outside with the elements. Yeah, oh yeah,
• 44:52
  and then you see some people breaking out sweats real fast. They also
• 44:54
  played up the w W two K stats they like like you were playing in
• 45:01
  your video game, like they would show like Bianco vill Air was like ninety
• 45:05
  five, you know, and they showed all four corners everybody's stats what they
• 45:08
  were, which, you know, I don't know, I kind of like
• 45:10
  it. I mean, if you don't play the video game, maybe like
• 45:15
  you're like, I don't know, you don't get it. I mean like,
• 45:17
  but for us, you know, if we play the video game,
• 45:20
  we you know, some of us take those rankings very serious, you know,
• 45:24
  those stats. Yeah, you know. I wasn't really into it at
• 45:29
  first, but then I started thinking, you know, WrestleMania season means more
• 45:35
  casual eyeballs to start with. Add that to the fact that the product is
• 45:40
  hotter than it's been in years, So I think I think it's a kind
• 45:45
  of a nice way to tell a casual viewer kind of who's who and what's
• 45:51
  going on. You can kind of say, oh, well, that person's
• 45:53
  in seventy five and that person's in eighty nine. And that, you know,
• 45:58
  I think it just kind of helps bring you up to beat a little
• 46:00
  faster if you haven't been watching this every week for forty years like I have.
• 46:05
  And it's consistent branding. I mean, the rep ratings thing is not
• 46:09
  new to WW two K games. It's also not new to sports games period.
• 46:15
  I mean, they two k's been doing this for as long as they've
• 46:19
  been making games. They've been doing it with the NBA two K series.
• 46:23
  I think Hell even goes back further than next. I think Madden has ratings,
• 46:29
  even though it's not two K, but player ratings in Madden. That's
• 46:31
  always been a thing. Hey, I mean if you've heard guys complain about
• 46:36
  their ratings, right, yeah, every time I do madd games come out,
• 46:37
  you're gonna have NFL players complaining about their ratings or that somebody's QB rating,
• 46:43
  Like oh, Patrick Mahomes was a he's a ninety five, he should
• 46:45
  have been a ninety seven, or Josh Allen was a ninety two and he
• 46:50
  should have been a ninety three. Or you know, Tyreek Hill's complaining because
• 46:54
  you know he got rated as a ninety one, whereas Justin Jefferson was a
• 47:00
  ninety three and he's like, I'm better than Justin Jefferson. Yeah. Yeah,
• 47:02
  So this isn't a new thing. It's just WWE hopping on that same
• 47:10
  bandwagon. That's always the thing, which you know, as we all know
• 47:15
  that ww wants to be seen as a quote legitimate sport unquote as much as
• 47:19
  possible. So anything that they can do that the other sports are doing,
• 47:23
  that they can kind of lash onto and start doing as well, They're gonna
• 47:27
  do it. And this two K ratings thing is just on part on brand
• 47:30
  with that. Yes, sir, I wouldn't mind seeing people could plain about
• 47:37
  it in actual story line. Yeah. I was just about to say that,
• 47:40
  like if you're gonna do it integrated into the product itself, or have
• 47:44
  the ratings changed throughout the year, like carrying on, not just I don't
• 47:49
  just do it with anticipation of the game coming out, do it throughout the
• 47:52
  year. Like somebody goes on a losing streak all a sudden, their two
• 47:54
  K rating drops from like a eighty five down, so maybe like a seventy
• 47:59
  eight. You know what spot they need in two K is uh the spot
• 48:05
  where lived in a se a seated on their kel. She was like stretched
• 48:08
  out in the corner and then lived did like a seated cent on off the
• 48:13
  top of the chamber onto her stomach. I thought that shit was fucking cool.
• 48:17
  It's like spots in the women's women's and I like that is probably the
• 48:24
  best match women's matches more specifically, but the men do it too. Sometimes
• 48:29
  I feel like big spots and the women's matches feel really forced. Sometimes,
• 48:34
  you know, a lot of a group of people just suddenly standing around waiting
• 48:37
  for somebody to come dive onto, you know, And I kind of didn't
• 48:40
  really. I felt like a lot of this stuff happened organically. It wasn't
• 48:45
  nearly as obviously choreographed as sometimes. Sometimes matches like this end up being Yeah,
• 48:53
  they've gotten the women have gotten much better at that is not telegraphing their
• 48:58
  big spots as much, because obviously the women's product is slower than the men's,
• 49:07
  so there's gonna be you can see, you know, you can see
• 49:10
  the seams a whole lot more in women's matches. But the best they the
• 49:14
  better they can do to hide that stuff, the better the product looks.
• 49:16
  And like you said, those big spots when they make them seem a little
• 49:20
  bit more natural or more organic, or more in the flow of the action
• 49:23
  that's already happened, as opposed to saying, Okay, here's this person on
• 49:27
  the top rope. Okay, here's this person who doesn't throw a punch but
• 49:30
  just happens to slide themselves in between this person's legs, and here comes the
• 49:34
  other one and then they all stand there for five seconds and big spot.
• 49:38
  Yeah exactly. But you know, coming out of this match, I still
• 49:43
  don't know where we're going with Bianca. Yeah. Yeah, the match obviously
• 49:50
  towards that. So yeah, obviously the person we thought was gonna win this
• 49:54
  match one to match and Becky Lynch, so she's moving on the face Rea
• 49:59
  Ripley WrestleMania spoiler alert for the match, but facing rear Ripley for the other
• 50:04
  for the World Women's World Title at WrestleMania. And yeah, coming out of
• 50:07
  this, we have a number of women who are left seemingly directionalists going into
• 50:13
  WrestleMania, most notably, like you said, Bianca bel Air, where does
• 50:16
  this leave her? Well, you know, don't look now, but Bianca
• 50:22
  bell Air is undefeated at WrestleMania, and she not only that, she has
• 50:28
  ended every one of her matches by holding a title above her head, whether
• 50:31
  she came in with it or wanted there. But I think that's a streak
• 50:36
  we need to preserve, uh, And that's why I'm going to once again
• 50:39
  advocate for Bianca and Jay versus the Kabooki Warriors at WrestleMania. We didn't even
• 50:45
  was was Bianca even on Raw last night? No, no, So we
• 50:52
  we're really running out of time to do something with her whatever, And she's
• 50:57
  on all the fucking posters. So it's not like she's not going to be
• 51:00
  in the May Young Invitational, Battle Royal or whatever, you know, Like
• 51:05
  I expect her to be in a pretty prominent spot of some kind. Yeah.
• 51:08
  My guess is if I had to bank on something, whatever she's doing
• 51:13
  for Wrestumantia, they're probably going to start it this Friday on SmackDown. And
• 51:16
  they seem to be heading towards a possible Tiffany Stratton versus Bianca bell Air match,
• 51:22
  which just saying it doesn't seem like it would be that big of a
• 51:27
  deal, but when you look at the equality of the competitors, it could
• 51:32
  make for a potentially show stealing match because both of them can absolutely go in
• 51:37
  the ring. Tiffany Stratton has already demonstrated that she can hang with the best
• 51:42
  of them in the ring on one match that I think that's still crowd.
• 51:49
  The crowd and Australia loved her. That's why it's still live. Yeah,
• 51:55
  that's why I think it's still TVD, just because it's Australia. Again,
• 52:00
  nothing against them, but I'm not. I don't think she's gonna come and
• 52:02
  be a babyface or anything, but I mean, like the crowd likes is
• 52:07
  into her. Yeah, the Australian problem was definitely enter her. She got
• 52:09
  a huge pop there. I'm just curious to see if that's gonna translate back
• 52:14
  to the States. So me, is she gonna get the same pop this
• 52:17
  Friday All SmackDown that she got in Australia or back here in the States that
• 52:22
  she did in Australia. Or was the Australia pop just a one off.
• 52:28
  I tend to think it's gonna be. I think she's gonna take it with
• 52:30
  her, I think, but I guess we'll see. I'm always surprised maybe
• 52:36
  it's gonna Stratton is such an English name. I'm always surprised when Tiffany Stratton
• 52:38
  isn't English, how about to finish this matter? Unlike most chamber matters,
• 52:47
  this was a really quick finish where you know, Bianca got put away,
• 52:53
  yeah, and then turned around and Becky put her way right away. It
• 52:59
  was like bam, bam bam. Like I liked it. It was like
• 53:02
  a lengthy you know, down to the last three and then you know,
• 53:07
  real quick one two, three done. So the only part I didn't like
• 53:12
  about it was the fact that Bianca got pinned with a simple roll up.
• 53:16
  Like to me, she deserved a better elimination than just a list snuck up
• 53:22
  on her, rolled her up, and Pinder just kind of caught her by
• 53:25
  surprise. You wouldn't expect something from that to be of someone of her caliber.
• 53:30
  They could have worked out a better finished least at least take a finisher,
• 53:36
  would you exactly like somebody like Bianca, you got to finish her with
• 53:38
  a finisher. They could have worked out some sort of spot where would you
• 53:44
  want live be the one Bianca rolls up? And then Bianca turns around and
• 53:49
  Becky puts her away. No, I mean I'm not I'm not opposed to
• 53:53
  Bianca having so the sequence of like Bianca gets eliminated and Becky takes advantage of
• 54:00
  that and gets lived. It's just the fact that it was a roll up,
• 54:04
  like I would have rather like she hits oblivion. He's of no,
• 54:12
  not in that sense. Now, I would have preferred like like Live hits
• 54:17
  oblivion on her, like hit a finisher on her, somebody of that caliber.
• 54:22
  You should have to hit them with your best to beat them, like
• 54:27
  Yan could. Getting pined with a roll up. Just he didn't sit right
• 54:30
  with me again, like if Live hits oblivion on her, gets the pin
• 54:34
  and then as she stands up, immediately turns around into a man handle slam
• 54:37
  from Becky Lynch and then Becky gets her to me, that makes it a
• 54:40
  little bit more sense, Like Becky Lynch is just sitting and lying in wait
• 54:45
  and strikes like like how Randy Orton strikes with his r KO, but she
• 54:47
  strikes with the man handle slam and catches her. That would have made more
• 54:52
  sense. I just that's my That was my only gripe about this match was
• 54:57
  getting pinned with a roll up with Doyle Summer. Yes, that's what I
• 55:05
  ordered the sushi restaurant. You guys think Live is primed for a heel turn.
• 55:12
  Perhaps she's fresh back based of all what happened this past Monday, all
• 55:19
  raw. Maybe, but I think they're going to I think she's gonna live
• 55:22
  in the gray for a while. Yeah. I feel like we've got too
• 55:27
  many babyface women all of a sudden, especially if Jade Cargan is going to
• 55:30
  be one and Riha is trending that way more and more, because I mean,
• 55:37
  if you think about how many heels do we have Ria Maybe I don't
• 55:39
  know, but I mean just not technically. Tiffany, Chelsea and Piper,
• 55:46
  Zoe and Shana I think are technically heels, but there's not a lot.
• 55:51
  I feel like there's a ton of women baby faces all of a sudden,
• 55:53
  we're gonna start turning into boople heel here. I think Becky might be prime
• 55:57
  for a heel turn. Also, she's not really showing it on TV,
• 56:00
  but I think Live kind of is. Yeah, potentially I can see it
• 56:07
  with Live. I just I don't see it being like an immediate he'll turn.
• 56:13
  I think it's one thing that's gonna be almost kind of like how Drew's
• 56:15
  Hill turn. Over the course of two months, right. It's gonna take
• 56:20
  time because she's gonna have to find her character as a heel more or less,
• 56:25
  because her just talking smack and this attacking people isn't going to work and
• 56:30
  it isn't gonna get her over. So she's gonna have to she's gonna be
• 56:35
  successful as a heel, She's gonna have to find her niche. She's gonna
• 56:38
  have to find what the natural evolution of her current character is as a heel
• 56:45
  into something that feels natural and something that can connect with the audience. It
• 56:51
  kind of makes a little bit like what she did this past Monday with Becky
• 56:55
  was simple but effective. She had a match with Nijak. She was doing
• 57:00
  her thing and then I mean she was getting her teeth kicked and getting stomped
• 57:05
  out by ni Jacks, but she was still competitive in the match, which
• 57:07
  I to me it has always been. I think Live Morgan's best gimmick for
• 57:14
  her is that perpetual underdog who doesn't give up, who can sit there and
• 57:20
  take a beating, but you can't pin her, you can't make her quit,
• 57:22
  and somehow, Okay, every now and then she'll find a way to
• 57:25
  come back and win, or she'll find a way to steal a win from
• 57:29
  somebody. I think that's always been her best character, her character trait,
• 57:35
  So her having the match on Monday, and then Becky Lynch interfering and her
• 57:40
  being pissed off about it because she didn't get to finish her match and naturally
• 57:45
  confronting Becky Lynch backstage saying, Yo, it's not all about you, Like
• 57:51
  mind your fucking business. Sometimes that's unnatural reaction for her. So if they
• 57:57
  can keep going in that natural progression of lives to things that make sense,
• 58:02
  and if that leads towards her becoming a heel at some point, then yeah,
• 58:07
  I'm with it. But if they just try to like force it,
• 58:08
  like at the snap of a finger, like Okay, she's a heel now,
• 58:12
  and it's not gonna work. We shall see. So I have the
• 58:19
  pay per view running in the background, and we just finished up the women
• 58:22
  especially showed a two K commercial. Do you guys know if you pre order,
• 58:28
  you can also get one month of Peacock free with your purchase. Oh
• 58:32
  it's a whole month. Hey, that's a whole month of bening. You
• 58:38
  can do. That's I bet it. In the commercial free version, you
• 58:43
  notice that peacock basicer. They'll still give you commercials if it ain't premium.
• 58:49
  Get the fuck out of here? And what else did I see? You
• 58:53
  know you can get star Dust with it, and you can get him with
• 58:59
  his mask, Like, who the fuck wants to play Dashing Cuts? Who
• 59:04
  the fuck wants to play Stardust? Who? I was excited? Like?
• 59:08
  Do you think Carlos is pre ordering this game and he's just like excited to
• 59:13
  play it? Start us? Do you think that's something Carlos might do?
• 59:16
  Well, there's somebody out there who can't wait to start us and gold Dust
• 59:21
  together as tax dude to bring them back. Or how about to have all
• 59:24
  the roads just all the Cody's in one and then you know they just got
• 59:30
  stories, all of them have stories to finish. Oh man, it's somebody
• 59:38
  wants their fucking a stable could be called the never Ending Story and then come
• 59:43
  out to the never Ending Story theme song story. Somebody wants it. Somebody
• 59:52
  wants it to happen. There's somebody out there right now every day just dreaming
• 59:57
  for a star Dust versus. They're painting the Yeah, they're dreaming for us
• 1:00:02
  star Does versus Demon Finn Balor SummerSlam match or something pre ordered it just for
• 1:00:07
  that though. I wonder like and like to be the guy who works,
• 1:00:13
  you know, at two K to see that somebody actually pre ordered Hey we
• 1:00:16
  got one, you know, somebody actually fucking bought it. Yeah. I
• 1:00:22
  can't believe it either. It's oh God, sorry, Dre, you were
• 1:00:30
  saying no, no, Like I said, there's something for everybody. Somebody
• 1:00:35
  out there wants it to happen. They can't fucking wait to finish the real
• 1:00:40
  unfinished story, the story of Stardust the movie. On the following match,
• 1:00:49
  after the Women's Elimination Chamber match, we got the undisputed w w E Tag
• 1:00:52
  Team Championship match featuring Finn Balor and Damian Priest of the Judgment Day defending against
• 1:00:59
  New Catch Republic team of Top Right. It just flows the team of Pete
• 1:01:07
  Dunn and Tyler Bait apparently New Cash Republic, which I imagine only means something
• 1:01:14
  to you if you're in Europe. So those in Europe, I imagine they're
• 1:01:17
  like, fuck yeah. The States are like okay now going into this matches.
• 1:01:25
  I was watching it. I mentioned in the discord about wanting to skip
• 1:01:30
  this match. I'm like I wish I could skip this match, kind of
• 1:01:36
  jokingly, but I will say after the match was over with, this might
• 1:01:42
  have been damn near my match of the night, even though even though yeah,
• 1:01:52
  this was damn near my match in the night, not just because obviously
• 1:01:58
  the finish was what y'all expected, you know, judgment they retained, But
• 1:02:02
  out of all the matches, this one surprised me the most in the sense
• 1:02:07
  that it felt like a true It exceeded my expectations. I'll say that I
• 1:02:14
  thought this was gonna be just a standard run of the mill tag team match.
• 1:02:17
  They'll let them go for a little while and then obviously shenanigans will happen.
• 1:02:22
  In judgment, they will win. But when this match was over with,
• 1:02:25
  it felt like a true pay per view caliber championship match in the sense
• 1:02:34
  that I in a way that I wasn't expecting it to be, Like,
• 1:02:38
  you don't this type of match that happened between these four. You don't get
• 1:02:43
  this on Raw, you don't get this on smack Now. This is the
• 1:02:46
  only kind of match that you would get on a pay per view, on
• 1:02:51
  a premium live event in terms of they got like I swear, it felt
• 1:02:54
  like damn near thirty minutes to cook with how when the last time you saw
• 1:02:59
  that from its team? And then there was seconds but it was what seventeen
• 1:03:04
  minutes twenty five seconds? But commercial, Yeah, for tag match, that
• 1:03:12
  is very lengthy. That's very long for a time match, consistent time.
• 1:03:16
  I swear it felt longer than that. And there was so much back and
• 1:03:20
  forth betweet it. Yeah, there were so many points in this match where
• 1:03:23
  I thought, Okay, it's over, this is they're getting to the finish,
• 1:03:27
  and it just and it kept going and it, like I said,
• 1:03:29
  the momentum sway back and forth. So many times in this match where you
• 1:03:32
  thought Judge Day was gonna finish them off. Then you thought, okay,
• 1:03:36
  Catch Republic might actually pull this one out, or they have their momentum this
• 1:03:39
  way, or you think this so many false finishes, Like this match really
• 1:03:45
  really exceeded my expectations and delivered. And when I was done with it,
• 1:03:49
  I was like, that was a true pay per view caliber championship match,
• 1:03:55
  not just a regular tag team match, Like it really felt like two teams
• 1:03:59
  fighting for world championship, like what I would used to see in old school
• 1:04:03
  wrestling of two teams just absolutely going at it. This is probably the best
• 1:04:09
  tag team match I've seen since probably since the street fight that Kevin Nowen's and
• 1:04:14
  Sammy's Ain't had with Judgment Day when they lost. It's definitely the best tag
• 1:04:17
  team match that Judgment Day has had since that match. And yeah, like
• 1:04:20
  I said, yeah, I can't, for the life of me figure out
• 1:04:23
  why they cannot get the tag division going. I mean, they've proven they
• 1:04:27
  can put on super fun tag team matches. Yeah, they could put on
• 1:04:30
  it mm hm, but they just don't want to. They don't seem to
• 1:04:34
  want to invest in the story. The matches are there, the storylines aren't.
• 1:04:41
  They just put people in the ring and just say, all right,
• 1:04:44
  go out there and cook for however many minutes. But there's hardly any Like
• 1:04:48
  you think about the whole tag team division as it stands right now, at
• 1:04:51
  least on the men's side. What tag teams have an actual storyline with each
• 1:04:56
  other? There's really only one, and that's uh Imperium and New Day.
• 1:05:02
  They're the only ones that have any kind of actual storyline or any kind of
• 1:05:06
  actual, let long running feud with each other. Everybody else is just like
• 1:05:13
  random is like tag team a versus Tag Team B of the Week. At
• 1:05:16
  least these guys had something that's transcended weeks on end, and it seemingly culminated
• 1:05:23
  in this street fight, which again was a great match on road this past
• 1:05:26
  Monday. But where's that for the rest of the tag teams in the division?
• 1:05:30
  Where's that for Creep Brothers. These guys came in, got a bunch
• 1:05:34
  of wins, lost the tag team title match, ain't been seen since,
• 1:05:39
  ain't seen street profits, and are seemingly getting something going with Crossing the Crew.
• 1:05:48
  But we'll see if that develops into something as good as what we've had
• 1:05:54
  with New Day and Imperium. That's still to be determined. Yeah, that
• 1:05:58
  just doesn't seem to be that investment, and this match showed that. Imagine
• 1:06:03
  as good as I'm as much praise as I'm heaping on this match, as
• 1:06:06
  good as I think this match actually was, Imagine how much better it could
• 1:06:10
  have been had there been a storyline going into it, had there been some
• 1:06:15
  actual real build up to it, had they actually had maybe like some few
• 1:06:20
  weeks to go back and forth to attack each other backstage, to interfere,
• 1:06:25
  to talk shit on them, like to do something to give us a reason
• 1:06:28
  to give a damn about the match before it actually happened. Well, I
• 1:06:30
  mean, New Catch Republic did win a tournament, but I mean that doesn't
• 1:06:35
  that doesn't make a yeah, but it was between them and the judgment day,
• 1:06:42
  I guess. But right, like they won a tournament, but it
• 1:06:45
  was basically it could it might as well have been a computer simulation tournament.
• 1:06:47
  It was just tea teammate versus Team B. All right, yeah, that
• 1:06:55
  might as well all it might have been because there was no build up to
• 1:06:59
  any of the matches other than the fact that they won last week. They
• 1:07:01
  won last week, now they fight this week. No, none of the
• 1:07:04
  teams like talked any trash to each other or talk to any trash is going
• 1:07:09
  into the tournament or nothing. There was like no interaction between teams outside of
• 1:07:14
  the matches themselves. And with no interaction outside of the matches, there's no
• 1:07:18
  investment on behalf of the fan. I mean, like I always thought,
• 1:07:21
  like elimination chamber between Rumble and WrestleMania. Right, some matches in some pay
• 1:07:29
  per views are gonna be buffers and some are gonna progress the story. This
• 1:07:34
  is a buffer for me because where do these two guys go after this,
• 1:07:40
  you know, either or like who who's gonna be the ones to feud with
• 1:07:46
  these guys at WrestleMania and and what happens to you know, the losers now
• 1:07:51
  bottom with the Creed Brothers, you know, back of the line. I
• 1:07:56
  guess right, but uh, you know where the heck to is the Judgment
• 1:08:01
  Day go from here? I have no idea what with up and coming tag
• 1:08:06
  team unless I I think it's going to be The Miz and Our Truth.
• 1:08:13
  I mean that that's what I think it's going to be. H yeah,
• 1:08:18
  the possibility. Yeah, I could see. I could see d I Y
• 1:08:23
  and the Mis and Our Truth versus all of Judgment Day and a fore Man
• 1:08:27
  and just not defend the titles. Dude, can we talk about how much
• 1:08:30
  fucking heat Dom got just for grabbing the mic? Oh yeah, well yeah,
• 1:08:35
  well yeah, if you're a diligent listener of the program, uh you
• 1:08:40
  know, one of my big questions was was what kind of reception is Dom
• 1:08:43
  going to get and how is that going to affect Rhea and uh we Well,
• 1:08:46
  the answer to the first is they fucking hate him, Yeah, so
• 1:08:51
  much they have to black out the screen for a minute, which I don't
• 1:08:56
  quite understand why they did that, but because I guess everything was was giving
• 1:09:00
  him the finger so bad, Yeah, I heard. Yeah, I think
• 1:09:04
  that was a fact by them not being together at all. Yeah, I
• 1:09:11
  think that's the reports I heard that. I guess the reaction was so visceral
• 1:09:15
  from the Australian crowd that they felt it was two. They felt it wasn't
• 1:09:20
  appropriate for television. I don't know if it was just flipping the birds or
• 1:09:24
  what they were saying that was being picked up on mics or what. Yeah,
• 1:09:27
  I guess was so strong that they were like, yeah, let's not
• 1:09:30
  put that on TV. There was a doms a wanker chat, which I
• 1:09:33
  always I always appreciate and so is a wanker. That's always one of my
• 1:09:38
  favorite overseas chants. Yeah, I mean I think that's great. I mean,
• 1:09:45
  just how hated he is. Yeah, his character. I think I
• 1:09:49
  think they're they're gonna split him and re up sooner later. Yeah, you
• 1:09:57
  have to. I don't know how to do it, but it does happened
• 1:10:00
  before or after Mania. I think it seems a little too soon to be
• 1:10:06
  now. Maybe maybe Dom has part in her losing her title and that's what
• 1:10:13
  causes the separation, Like I could see that, Like, you're the reason
• 1:10:19
  why I lost my title. Uh yeah, mommy, no more. But
• 1:10:25
  she I mean, but she's getting to be like she can't be a heel
• 1:10:28
  anymore right now anyway, and he's still the biggest heal in the company and
• 1:10:34
  they can't be together anymore. I don't look how they made it work thus
• 1:10:40
  farther right, Like we got this far. Yeah, but we've gotten this
• 1:10:45
  far because they keep throwing Dom in the way of the cheers that are coming
• 1:10:49
  for Rhea. Yeah, Rita goes out and she's getting cheered, and then
• 1:10:53
  they throw Dom in the way. Basically has a wall to try to block
• 1:10:56
  the cheers because they know everybody's going to boot a crap out of him.
• 1:11:00
  I mean, And we're seeing her lesson less with the rest of Judgment Day
• 1:11:02
  anyway. Yeah, well yeah, so far as she's actually yeah, has
• 1:11:08
  been coming out just herself, and then the Judgment Day guys have been coming
• 1:11:12
  out on their own. We saw it this past Monday, all raw.
• 1:11:14
  Rihea came out on her own to celebrate her win and then was interrupted by
• 1:11:19
  Becky Lynch and both of them were being cheered equally. Yeah, and almost
• 1:11:25
  the only interaction she had with Judgment Day, she was admonishing them. Yeah.
• 1:11:29
  And then we saw Judgment Day come out during Gunter's segment and on the
• 1:11:33
  subject of what the hell they're gonna do going into WrestleMania, that just I
• 1:11:38
  don't know what the fuck they're doing with that. They made it seem like
• 1:11:41
  Damien was the one who really wanted a piece of Gunter, but Dom is
• 1:11:45
  the one who stepped up into his face. Which going to versus Dom,
• 1:11:48
  fuck yeah, going to versus Damian Priest fuck No. See, that still
• 1:11:54
  feels like a raw match to me, not a WrestleMania forty match versus Priest,
• 1:12:00
  gun tra versus Iron them. I can see gon To versus Dom being
• 1:12:02
  WrestleMania. I think gun To versus Doms is a more appealing Yeah, I
• 1:12:09
  can see that being a WrestleMania match. I mean, give Dom the platform
• 1:12:13
  to really prove himself as a singles competitor, even though he'd be a heel
• 1:12:16
  as a fuck. And if you are having any peel heel too, and
• 1:12:21
  if you have any designs on turning Gul to face, which I personally I
• 1:12:27
  don't see why. I don't think it's time yet. I don't think the
• 1:12:29
  I don't think the fans have embraced him enough yet to warrant that. I
• 1:12:32
  think he's still doing great work as a heel, and I would much rather
• 1:12:36
  see him become world champion as a heel than as a face. But I
• 1:12:41
  mean, if you kind of want to test the waters of where the where
• 1:12:44
  he's at with the fans, put them up against Dom and see how much
• 1:12:47
  they cheer for you. Bet you got. You got Chad Gable sniffing around
• 1:12:51
  gun Through again. I don't know who. I don't know what the hell
• 1:12:55
  they're doing there. I don't know if it's gonna be end up being a
• 1:12:58
  multiman match. What I mean. They keep saying Seamus is gonna come back
• 1:13:02
  and he's gonna fight Gunter, But I mean they better hurry to fuck up
• 1:13:06
  with that run time. Yeah, I mean, we got what So?
• 1:13:15
  I mean, I kind of don't want to see them do another multimn match
• 1:13:20
  with the IC Belt because they just did that last year with Seamus and Druan
• 1:13:26
  Gunter. But it also seems like there's way too many people in the mid
• 1:13:30
  card scene right now for them to not do something with them at WrestleMania.
• 1:13:39
  So I don't know. Maybe maybe this is all building up towards a big
• 1:13:43
  match that they have on Raw to determine determined number, the number one contender
• 1:13:46
  for Gunter's belt. Maybe that's what they're going with this. Let's get back
• 1:13:51
  to these tag belts here. Do you guys notice that? Yep? Yeah,
• 1:14:00
  fuck that thing up pretty nasty. Yeah, Like it's funny because like
• 1:14:02
  that's the last place that the camera pans in on is like him holding his
• 1:14:05
  finger, like, damn, dude, that sucks. I enjoyed the finish
• 1:14:11
  with the double choke slam off the second rope and then Finn with the tag
• 1:14:16
  for the uh for the Coudi grond for the pin uh Man, like damon.
• 1:14:24
  You know, going into WrestleMania is still money in the bank, you
• 1:14:30
  know whatever, It's still a factor, but that it is, and almost
• 1:14:39
  almost off for a second, they were gonna like do that tonight, Like
• 1:14:43
  not not tonight, but like they're almost kind of leaning towards having him cash
• 1:14:47
  in on the Icy belt. And is that the way that you get the
• 1:14:50
  Icy Belt off of Gunter is have Damian Priest cash in after a match or
• 1:14:56
  something like that and win it, Like I know, you're not going to
• 1:15:00
  cash it in on me, right, yeah, I mean like we've seen
• 1:15:03
  it with the United States title before. Yeah, And there doesn't it doesn't
• 1:15:09
  seem to be any space for him to cash in on any type of world
• 1:15:12
  champion, because I don't see him cashing in on Drew. He ain't cashing
• 1:15:15
  in on Cody, he ain't cashing in on Seth. He's been an opportunity
• 1:15:19
  to do that. He damn show ain't cashing in on Romans. So it
• 1:15:23
  almost seems like there he has that's in the cash in on the mid card
• 1:15:27
  title, and I could almost see that happening at WrestleMania, like going through
• 1:15:30
  has whatever match he has with whoever he has, wins, comes out on
• 1:15:34
  top entered Dammian Priest cashing defeats him and takes the IC Belt out of WrestleMania.
• 1:15:41
  And that's how you get the i C title off of Guns without having
• 1:15:45
  him be defeated, which I don't know if I like that either, because
• 1:15:51
  you've put all this time into building up Guns and I in the Intercontinental Championship
• 1:15:57
  into this major belt, the restored it to its past glory. You got
• 1:16:02
  this iconic rain that's not quite Roman reigns level, but it's probably the second.
• 1:16:10
  It's number two with a significant different distance between it and anything else right
• 1:16:15
  now, as far as you know, quality of tidle rerain, as far
• 1:16:18
  as the substance of it. And to just have that end on a money
• 1:16:25
  in the bank, cash in and not not not give that honor to somebody
• 1:16:30
  deserving of it, Like somebody gets that privilege of being the one who ended
• 1:16:33
  Gunter's reign. That's gonna be a that if done right, that's a boom
• 1:16:38
  for somebody. That's a big boost for somebody, you know, to be
• 1:16:42
  like, hey, I'm the one that ended the longest air continental rain title
• 1:16:45
  reign in w W history. I feel I still feel like that should go
• 1:16:49
  to a person, but I'm not sure if it will. And if it
• 1:16:54
  doesn't, it's like takes beats the streak. You know, we shore this
• 1:17:03
  kind of thing happened before. Where you think it's gonna be some young up
• 1:17:06
  and comer, Well, I think last year with brand Slam, right,
• 1:17:15
  I think last year with the United States title cash and kind of proved that
• 1:17:18
  there was a chance that they took but also showed that like, hey,
• 1:17:21
  no title is safe. This isn't We're not just after the the these two
• 1:17:27
  main titles, Like, no title is fucking safe. Uh so I think
• 1:17:33
  Damian who who? People are like, I oh, this guy is supposed
• 1:17:38
  to be the next world champion. This guy is supposed to be the next
• 1:17:41
  w W under Speeded Universal Champion, right because he has the briefcase. No,
• 1:17:45
  maybe he's supposed to be the next Innercal Champion. Maybe he's supposed to
• 1:17:49
  keep that title elevated, maybe not to gooth their status, but like,
• 1:17:56
  uh, I know we talked about like that, that's a per opportunity to
• 1:18:00
  make somebody big, and maybe that is Damian Priest. Maybe that's where he
• 1:18:06
  needs to be until he is ready to be a world champion. But yeah,
• 1:18:14
  the what happens after this? We have a kind of a break,
• 1:18:17
  don't wait after this match? Yes, a fifty five minute break between the
• 1:18:23
  end of this match and the start of the next match. Are you for
• 1:18:26
  real? Because like when I started, I mean you have rayson Waller effected
• 1:18:29
  in between there. That's only twenty two minutes, doesn't even half of the
• 1:18:32
  fifty five minutes? Can you imagine being sitting there in a hundred degrees and
• 1:18:38
  you only get five matches over the course of four and a half hours.
• 1:18:42
  I think there was only I wrote it down. Let me, I gotta
• 1:18:45
  go back hours fifteen minutes of actual wrestling on a four and a half hour
• 1:18:50
  show, right, yeah. I loaded four and a half hours, and
• 1:18:57
  I was like, holy shit, Oh it's the kick off show. Minutes
• 1:19:00
  between this that match ending and the men's chamber started. God, yeah,
• 1:19:04
  I can't believe how quickly I was able to like rewatch it because I fast
• 1:19:08
  forward through a bunch of crap. Yeah, oh my god, all the
• 1:19:12
  I mean, I understand these cities are paying big money to draw these events.
• 1:19:15
  I get it, But good lord, with all these fucking tourism ads
• 1:19:18
  and ship like it's cell phony blowing, you know, we won't be able
• 1:19:24
  to fast forward through all this ship when we go to WrestleMania. Yeah,
• 1:19:28
  we're gonna be forced. Our eyes gonna be pried open, and we're gonna
• 1:19:30
  be forced all of it. I'm gonna there won't be quite that much fluff.
• 1:19:36
  I'm gonna gonna have all the oh yeah, I want to be in
• 1:19:43
  the moody slim gems and stuff from all the slim Jim mads uh dre,
• 1:19:47
  what do you want to talk about for this segment with the grace? How
• 1:19:50
  much of a god damn waste of time and bullshit as fucker was? Seriously,
• 1:19:56
  we got we got? Uh uh. My favorite part was when Austin
• 1:20:00
  they was about to get thrown out of the ring and he was holding the
• 1:20:05
  microphone and he didn't let go of the microphone. Yeah, yeah, that
• 1:20:15
  made for a nice replayable moment. But inside of that, this was a
• 1:20:18
  complete fucking waste of time that only happened because Grayson Waller is an ausy.
• 1:20:26
  You had to let the hometown boy come out in his hometown and you're absolutely
• 1:20:30
  right, is every playable moment. Here we go. Finally, Austin Theory
• 1:20:36
  has come to Perth, Australia to finish his story. Nice, he's good.
• 1:20:46
  That's your boy, right, good man. Hey, you got the
• 1:20:49
  big one. You got the big one. You know you got the big
• 1:20:53
  one. Come on, jack it off. Take the jacket off. Come
• 1:20:55
  on, come on, big body, take the jacket off. Show him
• 1:20:58
  Sean what it's all about. Yeah, come on, cony k okay that
• 1:21:17
  on one clip. Yeah, and they could have at least attempted to advance
• 1:21:25
  the story somehow. Instead you get Cody once again not telling us why he
• 1:21:30
  uh why he flip flopped and changed his mind and changed it back about Wrestlmania,
• 1:21:36
  and then he challenges the Rock to a match. When the fuck is
• 1:21:39
  this match gonna happen? Like, are they going to add a third night
• 1:21:43
  to WrestleMania. We're supposed to get this tag match. We can't also get
• 1:21:46
  this Cody Rock match. Like they keep promising these things, They're not going
• 1:21:50
  to be able to give it. I'll give it all, give it all
• 1:21:55
  to us. So like what the fuck are they doing? And once again
• 1:21:59
  playing for the sidekick? Yeah, I challenge you match on SmackDown or something,
• 1:22:05
  and you know, of course that'll be turned into a schmas or whatever.
• 1:22:09
  But like, what the fuck you can't keep telling us we're getting this,
• 1:22:14
  we're getting this tag match, we're getting Rock versus Room, and we're
• 1:22:15
  getting Rock versus Cody, We're getting Cody versus Room, we're getting Seth versus.
• 1:22:19
  You can't tell us all these things and give us half of it,
• 1:22:24
  you know, right, I was just sitting there. I challenge you Rock
• 1:22:27
  to a match, and Seth is just like, dude, I'm like,
• 1:22:30
  fuck here, Like really, you're just still worried about your one on one
• 1:22:33
  ship, Like I didn't just give a spind this past Monday, raw giving
• 1:22:38
  you a whole speech about you don't have to do this alone, Like dude,
• 1:22:43
  like you didn't just get your damn throat. It's you know, spiked
• 1:22:46
  to death by a freaking solo and I just walked right to you, Like
• 1:22:50
  hmm, I guess that wouldn't happen if you had had somebody out there with
• 1:22:55
  you, huh. And then what do you turn around to do? Rock
• 1:22:58
  I challenge you one on one? Like fuck? You just refuse to learn?
• 1:23:02
  At this point, Seth would be like, you just want to be
• 1:23:04
  stubborn. I'm gonna focus on defending my title. You just sit over here
• 1:23:08
  and just get stomped out by the bloodled again, would I think? I
• 1:23:13
  think Seth's gonna be the stomping going to turn on his ass at some point.
• 1:23:17
  I don't know when, but eventually it will. It'll be after Cody's
• 1:23:20
  champion, It'll be when Seth decides he wants another title after he loses his.
• 1:23:30
  What were you saying? Would you ever do a shoey? No,
• 1:23:33
  absolutely not. What the fuck is wrong with people? I never knew what
• 1:23:39
  a shoe. If I could live the rest of my life without even looking
• 1:23:42
  at my own feet, I would shoe No, thank you. That ship
• 1:23:48
  can stay right down there in Australia with the rest of them. No way.
• 1:23:56
  Yeah, sure that was it was Now asked when did it with Grayson
• 1:24:01
  Waller at their little press conference their own shoe? Dude? Because I saw
• 1:24:04
  it they were wearing sho shoe. Yeah. I've been walking around the airport
• 1:24:09
  all the day with this. You want me do a goddamn shoey for for?
• 1:24:12
  No? No, fuck you? At least it's your own shoe.
• 1:24:14
  I suppose better your own shoe than someone else's, but no better question.
• 1:24:19
  Shoe out the box? Then, ain't been touched by Yeah, that's right.
• 1:24:25
  They added a shoe to Grayson Waller's h graphic thing that comes pops up
• 1:24:31
  during his entrance. Didn't I noticed it on raw. I don't know if
• 1:24:35
  they've done if they had done it before that, But now he's got a
• 1:24:39
  shoe that turns over and liquid pours out of it as part of the part
• 1:24:44
  of his like c G I his little computer Okay, fine, every week
• 1:24:49
  I want to see goddamn Grayson Waller drink out of a fucking shoe. I
• 1:24:53
  want him to go to a fan, take off your shoe. I'm gonna
• 1:24:56
  drink a shoey out of it right now, every week until his career is
• 1:25:00
  through. That's his new gimmick. Iowa is going home and negative fifteen degree
• 1:25:05
  weather with one shoe soaking wet. Right. You know he can only do
• 1:25:10
  that when he's a baby face. And then yeah, like you said,
• 1:25:13
  he's gonna be in fucking i or Minnesota somewhere. Some guy's gonna go home
• 1:25:16
  with a wet shoe, get fucking frostbite in it, and and that'll be
• 1:25:24
  the end of the shoe. Yeah, that would be hilarious, not for
• 1:25:29
  the guy that lost his foot, but from Nah because they'll just be on
• 1:25:35
  season thirty of ww's Lost Treasures. Yeah, frostbite shoe, the foot that
• 1:25:43
  got the amputated. Oh, Zach Collan's Yes, that was a whole leg.
• 1:25:51
  That was a deep cut, No ship, I mean that fucke Generally
• 1:25:59
  what an amputation is a deep cut? Oh hell Jesus rotten shy. So
• 1:26:16
  it's moving on from that Grayson Waller effect. We finally got to the men's
• 1:26:21
  elimination Chamber of Match featuring Drew McIntyre of Raw versus l A. Knight of
• 1:26:31
  SmackDown and Bobby Lashley of SmackDown and Logan Paul of SmackDown and Kevin Owens of
• 1:26:45
  SmackDown. MH, I wonder who wanted a match to face the guy on
• 1:26:49
  Raw with the championship, Dude, Like this was the most predictable pay per
• 1:26:56
  view, Like, I know you can bet on wrestling, right what?
• 1:27:00
  I wonder what the odds were for half of this crap? Like they were
• 1:27:04
  they were astronomical. You would have had to bat one thousand dollars to win
• 1:27:08
  one hundred undred. It's just like ridiculous. I think it was like plus
• 1:27:14
  twelve hundred or something like that. Now, Like, would you guys have
• 1:27:19
  paid to go to a pay per view knowing all the results, like knowing
• 1:27:26
  like kind of how much we predicted, Like, would you still have gone?
• 1:27:30
  Well, you probably bought your ticket before the card was announced. I
• 1:27:34
  mean we've bought We bought our WrestleMania tickets before. Yeah, but we champion,
• 1:27:43
  we were like, yeah, we know Roman rates will be championed by
• 1:27:45
  them. Yeah, and if you're in Perth, Australia, you're absolutely buying
• 1:27:47
  a show because yeah, this is probably not going to be back in Australia
• 1:27:53
  for who knows how long. Yeah, you know, there's no guarantee they'll
• 1:27:57
  be back next year or even a year after that. Five years since the
• 1:28:00
  last time ever there, right, so if it finally comes around in your
• 1:28:03
  country, absolutely your mind fucking tickets. That's why they're able to book these
• 1:28:08
  things in these massive stadiums and sell them the way they do, because it's
• 1:28:12
  it's truly an event for them. Yeah. I mean, dude, this
• 1:28:19
  match kind of pissed me off because I not how Drew handles some of his
• 1:28:28
  pins. He did that very heel like, or he seized opportunities. But
• 1:28:33
  it's the direction of some superstars out of this match. It's the direction of
• 1:28:41
  La Knight, It's the direction of Randy Orton. I don't like where it's
• 1:28:45
  going. I don't like the fact that they're steering what we thought we could
• 1:28:51
  possibly get is Logan Paul and La Knight, the superhel and the super face,
• 1:28:59
  the guy who I thought you know, you know, Ellie and Night
• 1:29:02
  going to WrestleMania. Winning his United States title would be to me like when
• 1:29:08
  John Cena went to WrestleMania won his first United States title against Big Show,
• 1:29:12
  and that kind of you know, catapulted his career until next year he was
• 1:29:16
  ready to be a world champion. I thought this was it, but instead
• 1:29:21
  we're going to be getting Randy Orton and Logan Paul for the United States title
• 1:29:27
  for some reason, for some turns into a multi man match. I hope
• 1:29:32
  it all does, because I heard they're talking about a ladder match now for
• 1:29:39
  WrestleMania, So I hope this is the United States title. Is the ladder
• 1:29:43
  match they're talking about, because having Randy Orton and Logan Paul war on one
• 1:29:48
  kind of the title doesn't make sense. Like Randy Orton doesn't need the United
• 1:29:54
  States title right now. The United States title doesn't need Randy Orton right now.
• 1:30:00
  And and uh, you know, to put us with l A.
• 1:30:04
  Knight and AJ Styles, I understand. Uh, when AJ Styles returned,
• 1:30:11
  you know, the first man he attacked with l A. Knight, I
• 1:30:14
  get it, But is it really a story? Is it a story that
• 1:30:20
  I'm interested in? Like? No, not now, not really? I
• 1:30:25
  mean I kinda am kind of bored with heel aj styles because I don't know
• 1:30:30
  why he turned heel, don't know why. He doesn't like the OC,
• 1:30:32
  doesn't don't know why. And now the OC is right now as we speak
• 1:30:38
  on n x T, you know, wrestling for a tag match. Why
• 1:30:43
  And he's you know, you know, in the in the chamber and just
• 1:30:49
  muscle bound and man, Yeah, yeah, exactly, dud, He's just
• 1:30:54
  he's angry styles. I just want to I just want to know more styles.
• 1:30:58
  Yeah, to help me? Why tell me why you're so goddamn angry?
• 1:31:02
  But I just don't stands for an angry jobb or I just don't like
• 1:31:08
  the directions going with with with these guys. Uh? And where does where
• 1:31:12
  does Ko go? Where we where are we going with Ko? For Mania?
• 1:31:15
  You know, I'm lost in the weeds. I think he's gonna be
• 1:31:19
  the guy. Yeah, Doyle, You're probably there is a ladder match maybe
• 1:31:24
  involved in the nice title. That's where I see Ko being thrown into.
• 1:31:28
  Uh. Because like I said about the pod stuff, right, like Logan
• 1:31:33
  Paul did all sorts of hilarious ship while he was in that pod, and
• 1:31:36
  they don't really show any of it on the broadcast. You had to go
• 1:31:40
  to social media to see that stuff. But he was writing like Kevin sucks,
• 1:31:45
  and he was doing all he had a marker in there, put the
• 1:31:47
  horns on it and said, yeah, he's my horns because I'm a deemon
• 1:31:50
  time now. Like he was doing hilarious shit in there, and that's stuff
• 1:31:54
  that we've never seen. I don't think think Ko definitely has issues with him.
• 1:31:57
  Still, who doesn't think that's at least a three way, if not
• 1:32:00
  a four or five six man match. But I mean, I guess I
• 1:32:09
  was wrong about they're not going to send it pretty all the way to Australia
• 1:32:13
  for a run in. I guess that's wrong. But like, look,
• 1:32:16
  I understand that they're going to distance in the chamber is different than going the
• 1:32:20
  distance in the rumble, But do we need to have somebody go to distance
• 1:32:24
  in both matches? And do we need to have a run in in the
• 1:32:28
  chamber in two years in a row? Like? Can we think of other
• 1:32:30
  things to do or different ways to tell the story. I mean, I
• 1:32:34
  guess there's so many combinations of things you can do. But Christ Almighty,
• 1:32:40
  it just felt very recycled, very much. So it definitely did, and
• 1:32:45
  honestly, I don't think this men's chamber match was as good as the men's
• 1:32:49
  chamber match from last year. No, last year, it was much better
• 1:32:54
  between Mantes for just absolutely showing out in the rink. There wasn't really anybody
• 1:32:59
  in this match that really showed out. I thought Logan Paul was going to
• 1:33:01
  fulfill that role, but he really did it. He didn't do anything crazy.
• 1:33:05
  Nobody didn't. These guys are going to stay WrestleMania safe, is what
• 1:33:09
  I like to say. Like, nobody wants to get injured, Nobody wants
• 1:33:13
  to get hurt. You know, you're so close to WrestleMania, like these
• 1:33:16
  guys. It's odd too. I find it so odd that we have this
• 1:33:19
  kind of match before WrestleMania. Like, if there's any kind of match that's
• 1:33:24
  going to really put somebody on the injured roster, it's this type of fucking
• 1:33:28
  match. So, uh yeah, that didn't make sense to me. Yeah.
• 1:33:33
  One thing I will say though, coming out of this match that if
• 1:33:38
  there's anyone I think out of all the people in this match, I think
• 1:33:42
  the one who's actually the most at risk right now, I think it's La
• 1:33:47
  Night because he's been the most over superstar on the roster arguably for the last
• 1:33:58
  what six to eight months out and what does he have to show for it?
• 1:34:02
  Absolutely nothing. He still gets the huge pops, he can cut the
• 1:34:09
  promos, he's being featured in high profile matches, but he much exactly so,
• 1:34:16
  I mean, and we've all been expecting that this was going to lead
• 1:34:19
  up to, like after he lost to Roman at at Crown Jewel, we
• 1:34:25
  all expected that this was going to lead up to, like, Okay,
• 1:34:28
  he lost that. We expected that even though some people thought that he would
• 1:34:31
  be the one that end Roman's brain, like the funck were you people thinking?
• 1:34:34
  But we all thought coming out of that, like, Okay, fine,
• 1:34:40
  he's gonna He's there setting him up to win at WrestleMania, and we
• 1:34:44
  were thinking that that was gonna be his his his moment, his his moment
• 1:34:48
  of I guess, of solidify, of being solidified as a true top guy
• 1:34:53
  by winning the US title at WrestleMania. All that seems to be up in
• 1:34:58
  the air now because Logan Paul seems preoccupied with Kevin Owens and possibly Randy Yorton
• 1:35:04
  as well, So I don't see how La Knight fits into that. They
• 1:35:11
  Knight getting thrown into that big baby in but this is but what I'm saying
• 1:35:17
  is like they didn't do anything to kind of set up any La Night logan
• 1:35:21
  situation, and that's what we were thinking was gonna happen. So if l
• 1:35:28
  A. Knight comes out of WrestleMania not the US Champion, and honestly,
• 1:35:33
  I don't even know if if winning, I guess winning into the ladder match
• 1:35:36
  would suffice, But if he doesn't come out of WrestleMania as a as the
• 1:35:43
  United States Champion, we might have to start looking at him and wondering how
• 1:35:48
  creative or how the higher ups actually feel about l. A. Knight Because
• 1:35:54
  it hasn't been talked. We haven't talked about it or touched on it at
• 1:35:57
  all much, but there has been some small rumoring or some small whispers that
• 1:36:03
  LA Knight's backstage persona I guess, or how he's viewed backstage isn't the most
• 1:36:12
  positive. Not saying that he's like extremely disliked by the locker room, but
• 1:36:17
  I don't think he's one of those guys in the locker room that's universally beloved.
• 1:36:23
  And if you combine that with his age, even though he still seems
• 1:36:29
  to be in prime condition. It almost makes me wonder if creative or if
• 1:36:34
  the higher ups don't quite believe in La Knight as much as the fans do,
• 1:36:42
  and are they just basically using him for the pops that he gets,
• 1:36:47
  for the number for the merchandise that he sells, and is that and the
• 1:36:49
  third without having any real plans of solidifying him as a top guy. Not
• 1:36:59
  saying that is is something because so many top spots too. Yeah, but
• 1:37:04
  usually these guys that are as over as him at some point gets some sort
• 1:37:09
  of gold around their waist and they usually do it and pretty they usually tend
• 1:37:16
  to capitalize fairly quick on somebody that would be this over and Ella Knight seems
• 1:37:21
  to be. If they're still not doing it with him, if they're still
• 1:37:27
  unwilling to put him put gold on him. We're talking ten months of this
• 1:37:32
  wave and he hasn't gotten anything yet, and we might have to start taking
• 1:37:36
  a look at him and start wondering like, what's missing here? What?
• 1:37:40
  Why why aren't they putting something on him? Just trying to set records and
• 1:37:45
  making sure titles don't go to anybody because they got big plans and anybody trying
• 1:37:54
  to set a fucking record with Logan Paul time. When you know, La
• 1:37:58
  Knight's a hot commodity. This you know, rumble season comes around, guess
• 1:38:01
  who comes back Seampunk the Rock. I mean, we've seen this before.
• 1:38:08
  The guys who the workhorses are there all year round doing all the work,
• 1:38:12
  went in all the fans, and then he got these WrestleMania guys coming in
• 1:38:15
  just for the check. They come in, They overshadow these guys, and
• 1:38:19
  then we gotta hopefully they were able to stay afloat. And I think L
• 1:38:24
  and I being here staying afloat, being in the elimination chambermats, not taking
• 1:38:29
  a seat, not not sitting back at home, not just having a matchal
• 1:38:31
  SmackDown. He's in the pay per view still, he's in the talk,
• 1:38:35
  just like Kevin Owens, you know, like Kevin Owens is. You know,
• 1:38:39
  it's not even for uh you know, he's he's involved involved still,
• 1:38:45
  you know. Yeah, he also won the tag team titles at WrestleMania last
• 1:38:49
  year and had a good lengthy run. Yeah, but uh yeah, we
• 1:38:58
  talked about the heat, and I know they can't do much of anything about
• 1:39:01
  that, but good lord, were these guys sweaty Drew, especially Drew looks
• 1:39:08
  like Patrick ewing, Uh, like it faucet underneath his hair, just like
• 1:39:15
  uh. And the sweat was like the Matt like poor. But the first
• 1:39:19
  time I watched it through and I'm watching the Ria Nia Rhea and Naya Hello
• 1:39:25
  match, I was like, why is the ring so dirty? And rewatching
• 1:39:28
  it and I realized it was from all the sweat from this match. They
• 1:39:30
  were basically, uh, wrestling in a fucking kiddy pool full of kittie pool
• 1:39:36
  full of man sweat. You know, even the ref was drenched. I'm
• 1:39:43
  pretty sure n I Jack's appreciated being in that full body outfit. Yeah,
• 1:39:46
  Jesus Christ, And like, what a weird choice? What do you guys
• 1:39:53
  think of Randy in this match? Like what a weird choice to have him
• 1:39:56
  like do an injury cell but then also in all of him and like every
• 1:40:00
  big spot like we're going to do maybe do it later in the match,
• 1:40:06
  not so early. I was like, what the he like he would roll
• 1:40:10
  around, he'd get up into a spot and then back down on the match,
• 1:40:13
  Oh my bag back, just like what the what? What a weird
• 1:40:16
  choice? Crippled? Crippled crippled. Word, I'm still crippled again. It
• 1:40:24
  was some weird booking on on that end in terms of like, yeah,
• 1:40:30
  like you said, him just seeming selling that injury from so early on in
• 1:40:33
  the match and then making all the weight to the end and also getting elimations
• 1:40:39
  and r ko's on people and spots, was like, oh, is he
• 1:40:45
  he might know? Did he really tweak something? But it was obviously he
• 1:40:48
  didn't, right because you know, if he did, the refs are talking
• 1:40:51
  to him and that wasn't really going on. Uh, But it was just
• 1:40:57
  like, what a weird choice, like okay, and he come in immediately
• 1:41:00
  start grabbing at your back and then just only get up to do our chaos
• 1:41:03
  on people. You know what? Else was a weird choice on this pl
• 1:41:08
  Well, I won't say necessarily a weird choice, but kind of a messed
• 1:41:12
  up choice both elimination chamber matches. Triple H decided to eliminate a black person
• 1:41:21
  first during Black History Month. Well it's not Black History Month in Australia,
• 1:41:28
  that's true. Uh huh, yeah, I know that. Yeah, I
• 1:41:33
  mean, I hope it's just a coincidence, but I know I would just
• 1:41:39
  sometimes just notice I was like, Oh, really, it's gonna eliminate a
• 1:41:43
  black person first in both chamber matches during Black History Month. Huh Hunter,
• 1:41:46
  Oh fucking we forgot about wrestleminging it twenty motherfucker ween forgot. Yeah, do
• 1:41:50
  you guys notice the stats? The two K stats? Bobby Lashley eighty nine,
• 1:41:58
  Logan Paul and yet one. What the fuck Logan Paul ninety? What
• 1:42:09
  the fuck over Bobby Lashley? What the fuck? Pretty sure? And I'm
• 1:42:15
  pretty sure Logan Paul still has a losing record in WW. Yeah, he's
• 1:42:19
  lucky even had that fucking title around his goddamn waist, his win loss record.
• 1:42:26
  Jeez, oh my god too. I'm sorry as I'm watching this pay
• 1:42:31
  per view this when uh, Bobby Lashley's pod goes his face like oh like
• 1:42:40
  like like he was like he was the the next guy out, Like his
• 1:42:44
  face is fucking funny. Hey, do you guys want to take a quick
• 1:42:48
  break? I like take a bathroom break? You guys cool with that?
• 1:42:53
  Sure, you guys want to wrap up this segment? Anything else you want
• 1:42:56
  to talk about for this match? Hein no nothing else to talk about.
• 1:43:00
  Drew One. Drew's going on to face set of WrestleMania. My money's on
• 1:43:04
  him winning at WrestleMania. Yeah, me too, especially with the speculation or
• 1:43:11
  the rumors floiding around that he has potentially or possibly re signed with w W
• 1:43:16
  but still kind of hearsay. I don't think it's been It definitely hasn't been
• 1:43:23
  confirmed one way or the other, but seemed to be increasing rumors that state
• 1:43:28
  leads to the fact that he has resigned. But we can talk about that
• 1:43:31
  after the bathroom break. Yeah, bathroom rate, uh're back rated T for
• 1:43:40
  teen? What your braun lessner? You gotta watch you back. Chris beIN
• 1:43:48
  Wall tried to take me out in the elimination chamber, You're nothing lesser and
• 1:43:57
  then pulled brons to Rain. It comes to Pain came after me backstage.
• 1:44:04
  But no matter what they do, no matter how hard they tried, there
• 1:44:13
  is nothing and no one that can stop me. You and me, Ron
• 1:44:20
  Pain's match right now, I win, No Brock, we all win.
• 1:44:31
  SmackDown here comes to Pain. I couldn't hear anything there because, uh,
• 1:44:44
  it was soundly like somebody that doesn't exist anymore talking about somebody else that doesn't
• 1:44:47
  exist anymore. Oh yeah, SmackDown here comes to pain. Uh. Yeah.
• 1:44:51
  When I was watching that, it was like, oh, bron blesser,
• 1:44:55
  oh h chrispin wa Oh, it's just like a whole I don't think
• 1:45:00
  I can play anymore, Like the audio is disorted and everything like hm hm
• 1:45:08
  be a video game that people won't be able to play anymore. Who's on
• 1:45:12
  the cover of that game? I don't think anybody nothing cringe at all about
• 1:45:17
  that promo, right, panties, that's when that was introduced into the game.
• 1:45:24
  Do you remember that? Oh god, Let's move on to the main
• 1:45:31
  event YEP, which featured Women's World Championship match were Ripley defending against Naya Jacks.
• 1:45:45
  Which folk can say what they want about Naya Jacks and how she was
• 1:45:53
  in her first run of being dangerous or reckless or careless or whatever other criticisms
• 1:46:00
  folks want to throw a Niajacks, But anybody who's who is watching with even
• 1:46:09
  the slightest bit of objectivity in her second run, you got to give Niajacks
• 1:46:15
  her props. She has definitely come back much better in this run than she
• 1:46:20
  was in her first run. You ain't hurt nobody, nobody being injured after
• 1:46:26
  a match with her. She's done she's improved her character work. I'll not
• 1:46:30
  saying that she's top tier, but she has improved and her overall match work
• 1:46:38
  overall is better, and it's all exemplified in this match here. This is
• 1:46:45
  probably the best match from Niajacks that I've ever seen from her in terms of
• 1:46:50
  her work and terms of her work work in the rim. In the rim,
• 1:46:56
  in the ring, she looked strong. She dominated rear for a good
• 1:47:00
  chunk of this match. And it wasn't just the same, you know,
• 1:47:08
  simplified moves that like. She showed different moves in her reperts wire. She
• 1:47:12
  showed other things that we haven't seen from her. She took some pretty gnarly
• 1:47:17
  spots, some pretty big spots, like the superplex she took off the top,
• 1:47:21
  the the move on the outside she took. I mean, these two
• 1:47:27
  went at it, putting real through the table, like these two freaking they
• 1:47:33
  tore the house down, the goddam table before she puts someone through it.
• 1:47:39
  I mean, if somebody's gonna put me through the table, please remove the
• 1:47:42
  fucking tablet the stuff, because I want that ship going through my back because
• 1:47:45
  the table tablets anymore. They didn't do nothing. She normally is supposed to
• 1:47:51
  come on, man, like, we all know you cleared the table.
• 1:47:56
  I mean we've seen guys, I like or I'm remember seeing him take a
• 1:48:00
  spot one time and one of the cameras hitting him in the back, like
• 1:48:03
  one of the monitors weren't moved. Yeah, but I mean yeah, but
• 1:48:09
  I mean like if you watch table spots now, folk really don't clear it
• 1:48:12
  like they used to because they like back in the day where you had them
• 1:48:15
  those big s c rts boxes in there, so you obviously had to take
• 1:48:18
  those out beforehand. Now there's just some small little tablets and I don't know
• 1:48:23
  if them things are collapsible of what, but they just be going full sin
• 1:48:27
  on them. Table spots. Now, catch a little tablet to the rib
• 1:48:30
  and we'll keep it moving. Yeah right, it doesn't. It doesn't hurt
• 1:48:33
  as much as those old school you know monitors holy ship there they were used
• 1:48:40
  as actual weapons, right god. But uh yeah, at least at least
• 1:48:45
  they're flat and you know, like unlike big clunky TV. Yeah, there's
• 1:48:50
  big box and there's big metal box with a TV hit it like back in
• 1:48:54
  the day. Now they're just usually tablets with a kickstand. So I mean
• 1:49:00
  getting back to Ria being safer. You know, you think back to some
• 1:49:04
  of the men in the past who've had, you know, reputations being dangerous,
• 1:49:10
  hurting people, you know, you think like Ultimate Warrior or Hamed johnsoner
• 1:49:15
  people like that, and they were fucking nobody can't find anyone who has anything
• 1:49:19
  nice to say about them. But if you follow any of these women on
• 1:49:25
  social media, you know, which I only do as research for the show,
• 1:49:29
  of course, you'll see them always. They're always taking selfies with Nia
• 1:49:35
  Naya. God damn it. I keep wanting to say Nia nayah and you
• 1:49:40
  know, making TikTok dance videos and whatever. So she seems to be pretty
• 1:49:44
  popular backstage, and I feel like if she was wrecking people, she wouldn't
• 1:49:48
  be you know exactly. I think some of the some of the negativity that
• 1:49:54
  surrounded her is much more from fans than it is from the actual the locker
• 1:50:03
  room. I feel like she's in pretty high esteem with her peers, right,
• 1:50:10
  And I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's more
• 1:50:15
  so the fans than it is anyone that's actually having worked with her. I
• 1:50:19
  think, I mean, if she was really that big a liability, they
• 1:50:21
  wouldn't have brought her back, is the cousin sort of right, And it's
• 1:50:29
  it's not to say that she didn't and and I'm not and I don't think
• 1:50:32
  that, you know, management was completely oblivious to those things. I'm pretty
• 1:50:36
  sure those were things that were addressed with her, like, hey, you
• 1:50:40
  need to work on such and such and this that and third in the ring.
• 1:50:43
  So I mean that stuff didn't go completely unchecked in her and in her
• 1:50:47
  past. And it's not completely unfounded from the fans, but it is dramatically
• 1:50:54
  overblown by the fans and overstated. I think wrestlers are actually the wrestlers are
• 1:51:00
  honestly smart enough mature enough to recognize that some of these things happened in the
• 1:51:03
  ring. Some of these things that y'all think was her being reckless might not
• 1:51:08
  have been her being reckless. It may have been the other person who was
• 1:51:10
  actually more at fault. Maybe they weren't in the right spot, maybe they
• 1:51:13
  didn't properly do what they were supposed to do in that spot to protect themselves,
• 1:51:16
  or maybe it's just something that just happens to just come with the business.
• 1:51:21
  Like I don't think obviously she didn't intentionally go to knock uh Becky Lynch's
• 1:51:26
  block off when she punched her. But it was just in the moment she
• 1:51:29
  threw a punch and Becky's face just happened to be in the wrong place at
• 1:51:32
  the right time, and she created that moment there right. You know what,
• 1:51:38
  the I kind of enjoyed this match more than I thought I was going
• 1:51:41
  to. Like they the way they booked Ie it through the entire match,
• 1:51:45
  like looking super strong against Rhea, Like we haven't seen real tossed around like
• 1:51:49
  this for a while. Like, you know, I think that anytime we
• 1:51:54
  Ria has met some real resistance may have been like Raquel is when I thought
• 1:51:58
  she started reaching getting some resistance Bianca bell Air. Uh would have been somebody
• 1:52:04
  else who put some resistance against Riha. But like Naya, now I came
• 1:52:10
  in, you know, she came with rumbles once she made her return and
• 1:52:14
  then just wreaking havoc since with Nijack's return, Yeah, that return she returned
• 1:52:23
  last year, she returned at the Raw and Norfolk because that was the one
• 1:52:29
  I actually attended when she made her come with her return during the match with
• 1:52:32
  the Ria and Raquel, I mean, just as recent she's been book strong,
• 1:52:38
  like she'd beat Becky clean and then like putting her against Ria like that.
• 1:52:41
  I mean that that was the proper order of events for her to make
• 1:52:45
  her look strong going into this, you know, uh, you know,
• 1:52:49
  and now like Becky's the next one, then the next one in line for
• 1:52:54
  the titles. So even though she lost, I could still see her involved
• 1:52:59
  if this would turn into a triple threat, because she is beef with Becky.
• 1:53:02
  We talked about this last episode. Yeah, I still believe that I'll
• 1:53:06
  almost be surprised if that doesn't happen, you know, stack the odds against
• 1:53:11
  Ria, stacked the odds against Becky, you know, certainly so, and
• 1:53:17
  I am I am an agree. I'm in agreement with y'all that I would
• 1:53:23
  not be surprised if it turned into a triple threat match, although given how
• 1:53:27
  they've got the promo art and up there, I think I'm kind of leaning
• 1:53:31
  towards it not happening. But I wouldn't be surprised if it did. But
• 1:53:34
  I would also be kind of disappointed if it did, because it would almost
• 1:53:39
  certainly indicate that Nia Jackson is being put in there as the sacrificial lamb to
• 1:53:45
  protect Ria and Becky because they don't want either one of them to take a
• 1:53:49
  clean loss, and therefore they need somebody that can take the pinfall so that
• 1:53:57
  one of them can neither retain, so that Ria can either retain her title
• 1:54:00
  or Becky can win the title without making the other one look weak in a
• 1:54:05
  loss. So in that regard, I kind of hope it doesn't happen because
• 1:54:10
  I don't want that for Nia Jacks. As much as I think she deserves
• 1:54:14
  to be rewarded for the work she's put in and the improvement in her character
• 1:54:16
  work in ring performance, and could certainly deserve a match at WrestleMania, I
• 1:54:23
  don't know if I want this to be it just because of what I fear
• 1:54:27
  that would mean for her in this match. Yeah, d I totally get
• 1:54:35
  it. Yeah, Yeah, I'm not so sure. I thought it was
• 1:54:39
  a foregone conclusion that Rio was losing the title, but I don't think.
• 1:54:43
  I don't think some conclusion anymore. No, I'm actually in the opposite direction.
• 1:54:47
  I think Ria is actually going to retain at WrestleMania if I had to
• 1:54:50
  put money on it now, carless Becky, if it's Becky, and and
• 1:54:55
  I don't think Ria is a pretty time of keeping her time, because I
• 1:55:00
  don't think there's any reason for her to lose the title. I think the
• 1:55:02
  only reason why people are thinking she's going to lose it is because it's WrestleMania,
• 1:55:08
  and typically babyfaces go over at WrestleMania. But if there's space for a
• 1:55:14
  heel to retain outside of Gout in the IC title, I think Ria Ripley
• 1:55:19
  retaining. I think she stands to gain more from getting a clean win over
• 1:55:25
  Becky Lynch than Becky Lynch stands to win another to have another world title win,
• 1:55:31
  especially considering on the other side of the world title picture, I think
• 1:55:36
  we're also slated for Seth Rollins to have a loss, so it's not like
• 1:55:42
  you get the benefit of having the married couple both rocking the world titles.
• 1:55:51
  There if that was a possibility, which I mean, I guess there's still
• 1:55:55
  a not zero chance of that being a thing of having Seth's world champion,
• 1:56:00
  being in Becky as world champion and getting that photo op. Excuse me,
• 1:56:03
  I don't think that's likely to happen either. I'm watching this now like I'm
• 1:56:09
  watching Naya put Becky through the table. Did you know she chose a chair
• 1:56:15
  to stand on. Yeah, I noticed that the chair sketch. What the
• 1:56:20
  fuck, dude, Like she chose a chair, like I'm sitting on like
• 1:56:25
  pretty much the same chair, and I'm just like, no fucking way,
• 1:56:28
  dude, Like I won't even stand on my chair to do anything in my
• 1:56:31
  office, Like I'll fuck that. Yeah, you see. You see how
• 1:56:35
  long it took her to set up the spot because she was trying to maintain
• 1:56:38
  her balance and keep that thing from rolling out from underneath her and just completely
• 1:56:42
  watching the spot. She dential made sure to have her stability. But at
• 1:56:46
  the same time, where else was she gonna jump from? I mean,
• 1:56:49
  I guess she could have gotten from the from the apron area, but that's
• 1:56:56
  the question of you know, her balance as well and what herr leaping ability
• 1:57:00
  is, which I don't know what that is. So I mean that probably
• 1:57:04
  was like the best she could do or the best and to a certain extent,
• 1:57:09
  kind of a smart choice. Honestly, the barricade is a little bit
• 1:57:13
  higher up, so I mean taking that leap, if she can't make that,
• 1:57:19
  if she can't clear that distance, that sets up a potentially ugly spot
• 1:57:24
  or dangerous spots. So I mean Yeah, the chair was kind of what
• 1:57:29
  it was. Honestly, I think that was kind of I think that might
• 1:57:31
  have been a bit of an improv too, because I think the intent was
• 1:57:34
  supposed to be for her to go through the table on the original uh slam.
• 1:57:40
  Yeah right, and when that didn't work, she had to improvise.
• 1:57:44
  And then I fucking I'm hopping up on this chair on wheels and I'm gonna
• 1:57:48
  yeat this motherfucker on your ass. Didn't that dim ass Pad McAfee almost falling
• 1:57:54
  as Keister doing the same standing on one of those chairs a couple of weeks
• 1:57:59
  ago. I'm sure he has. Things were damn wheels and they I don't
• 1:58:01
  think the casters lock. Yeah, maybe that's what they need, risky business.
• 1:58:09
  Maybe they need chairs with locking casters. Yeah. What a win for
• 1:58:15
  Rieto in front of that crowd and her family was there. That was awesome.
• 1:58:21
  Yeah. I mean I think it's fair to say, uh that she's
• 1:58:25
  a show favorite here at a pc W uh you know, and he's just
• 1:58:30
  really gonna be happy for her to get a spot like that. Uh.
• 1:58:33
  You know, we've kind of seen a number of talents uh kind of get
• 1:58:36
  their hometown ish treatment lately. And you know, I keep I think I
• 1:58:43
  mentioned this a couple of times, but I keep keep thinking. I think
• 1:58:45
  it was backlash. Was at the where they were in Puerto Rico, when
• 1:58:49
  when Ria beat Zelena Vega, you know, and then she just got the
• 1:58:54
  funk out of there and you know, allowed her to soak in the crowd,
• 1:58:57
  you know, whereas a heel move might have been to come and you
• 1:59:01
  know, beat down the hometown person, you know, she didn't do that.
• 1:59:05
  And I don't remember the timeline if this show had been announced or not
• 1:59:11
  at that time. Maybe she knew about it, but it hadn't been announced.
• 1:59:14
  I don't think so, because that was a backlash. Was that was
• 1:59:17
  last year's backlash. I was twenty twenty three, so I don't think this
• 1:59:20
  had been announced yet. Yeah, but I mean, like obviously she's cognizant
• 1:59:26
  moments like that, you know, and it was like to see her get
• 1:59:29
  one, you know, whereas she allowed it to happen for somebody else.
• 1:59:35
  And it's an another thing I thought while I was watching the match, you
• 1:59:40
  know, like through the Golden Age and into Attitude era. You know,
• 1:59:44
  it's world wrestling entertainment, and the wrestling was you know, the big thing
• 1:59:49
  and then kind of through ruthless aggression and you know, the PG era or
• 1:59:53
  whatever it was entertainment. But now this focus seems to be like on the
• 1:59:58
  world art more than the other three, which is cool. I mean,
• 2:00:01
  I think it's great that you know, they're going to you know, Perth
• 2:00:08
  is the most isolated big city in the world, you know, like I
• 2:00:12
  mean, uh of large. It's the farthest one from another large city,
• 2:00:15
  which is kind of crazy to think about, right, and just shows you
• 2:00:18
  how big Australia is. And it's great that you know they're you know,
• 2:00:24
  they're going to France this year, they're going to Germany, you know,
• 2:00:28
  like, uh, it's cool. It's cool. I hope they can get
• 2:00:31
  to even more places. But you know what, we're all waiting what we're
• 2:00:38
  all waiting for w W and Japan. When's that happening? Yeah, because
• 2:00:43
  it's cool that they're going to all these other places, but they're going to
• 2:00:45
  all these other places that don't have their own major wrestling promotions like that.
• 2:00:53
  I mean, obviously there are wrestling promotions in Europe, but not on the
• 2:00:57
  level of a New Japan. I remember years ago they were supposed to be
• 2:01:00
  NXT Japan, and then I don't for whatever reason, it hasn't happened yet.
• 2:01:04
  I don't know why. I think it's I think it's no. I
• 2:01:08
  think it's something that still is in the world, because that was part of
• 2:01:10
  them, uh dismantling the NXT UK, because they were going to do n
• 2:01:15
  x T. Yeah, like you said, in different regions, they were
• 2:01:16
  going to do a whole NXT Europe thing. And I think of NXT South
• 2:01:20
  America and NXT Asia or nx T Japan or something of that nature, which
• 2:01:26
  I don't think those plans have been completely abandoned. They just maybe, I
• 2:01:30
  guess, a bit back burner for the moment. Either way, I'm curious
• 2:01:39
  to see with all with w W obviously tapping into all these new markets,
• 2:01:45
  when do they take the bold step and try to put on a show in
• 2:01:49
  Japan? Yeah? Yeah, I mean that's because that's the big one obviously,
• 2:01:59
  because out biggest wrestling promotion probably outside of the United States is New Japan
• 2:02:05
  Pro Wrestling. So does w W dare step or come into their territory and
• 2:02:12
  try to put on a show, or do they try to do something more
• 2:02:15
  collaborative. Yeah, these are all all questions that uh may or may answered.
• 2:02:29
  Does Japan even rock with WW like that or are they more really hometowners
• 2:02:34
  where it's like, well, okay, we're like maybe a couple of year
• 2:02:39
  guys come over here. Obviously, that's that's been a thing for the longest
• 2:02:43
  of just select wrestlers coming over and putting on shows with Japanese stars, but
• 2:02:47
  an entire promotion coming over there and putting on their thing. I can't I'm
• 2:02:53
  pretty sure it's been done before, but I really can't think of it.
• 2:02:57
  I mean, I know WCW, I think did it years ago. That
• 2:03:00
  was a when had a Dark Side of the Ring episode. Well they went
• 2:03:03
  to North Korea, Korea, that was Japan, yeah, right, right,
• 2:03:09
  right right, Yeah, that's probably the closest we've seen. And obviously,
• 2:03:13
  yeah, WCW did collaborative stuff with Japan years ago. We've seen obviously
• 2:03:17
  what AW is doing now, and yeah, but I don't know that WW.
• 2:03:24
  I mean, I'm pretty sure they have done it before, but it
• 2:03:26
  wasn't of any major scale, certainly not to the scale of what they could
• 2:03:32
  pull off today. I mean, in the nineties they had some kind of
• 2:03:35
  it wasn't with new Japan. It was with it was some company that wasn't
• 2:03:42
  around for very long, but they did. That's why, that's why there
• 2:03:47
  was WrestleMania seven. There's like a Japanese tag team that beats Demolition for some
• 2:03:54
  reason. It's like what right? And then and then they had a like
• 2:04:00
  a couple of weeks later, there were ww guys or f at the time
• 2:04:03
  match over in Japan. And one of those matches is famous because whoever Earthquake
• 2:04:11
  was fighting, who's actually one of the guys on wrestle the WrestleMania show.
• 2:04:15
  But they get in like an actual fight and the guy tries to rip Earthquake's
• 2:04:21
  eye out of his skull and it ends with him having a temper tantrum and
• 2:04:26
  he gets the microphone and he's like everything wrestling is fake, none of this
• 2:04:30
  is real. If this was real, I would have kicked this fat American's
• 2:04:33
  ass, no problem. Like it was a big big to do. It's
• 2:04:40
  on YouTube. Go check it out. Kids. We have a question for
• 2:04:44
  the podcast. If you guys want to answer that, here we go.
• 2:04:46
  Let me play the bumper. Do you like to answer a question right at
• 2:04:56
  this particular time, would you like to do that? I want to ask
• 2:05:02
  you a bunch of questions. I want to have them answered immediately. Can
• 2:05:09
  I ask you a question question? I'm sorry about that now. This one
• 2:05:19
  also comes from Andrea. She likes to write in every episode. We kind
• 2:05:24
  of touched base about this a little earlier with Damian Priest and what he would
• 2:05:28
  be doing with the money in the bank briefcase. But I'll read this out
• 2:05:31
  anyway, She says, do you think there is a possibility that Damian Priest
• 2:05:38
  will cash in at WrestleMania, especially if Cody Roose wins the title against the
• 2:05:43
  Rock or Roman reigns, whoever it is. Will Cody ever finish his story
• 2:05:49
  which feels like a choose your own adventure book at this point. Yeah,
• 2:05:57
  we kind of touch base on you know, we're daming, We're it would
• 2:06:00
  be good Damon to catch that in. We talked about him catching in maybe
• 2:06:04
  on the IC champ, but uh, honestly, and we kind of touch
• 2:06:09
  base too with Cody. We we have no idea, We have no idea
• 2:06:13
  where this is going. I honestly, Uh, we're less than what thirty
• 2:06:19
  nine thirty eight days away, and I have no idea what the main event
• 2:06:26
  is. Night one or Night two, Like, I really don't like people.
• 2:06:30
  I have this guy at my work he's like goes, oh, who's
• 2:06:32
  the row facing I'm like, I don't know, I don't know. I
• 2:06:36
  don't know who who's facing who? Uh. We had so many ideas going
• 2:06:45
  through what would have been good possibilities, and I think they're just like waiting
• 2:06:47
  last minute. You know, every week we get promos that kind of lead
• 2:06:53
  to nothing, that go nowhere. It's just stalling. It's filibuster, that's
• 2:06:58
  what we're getting. We're getting filibuster, and I'm getting frustrated. So I
• 2:07:05
  don't know if you guys want to have anything to talk about that. Well.
• 2:07:12
  On regards to the main events of Night one and Night two, we
• 2:07:17
  absolutely know what the main event of Night two is gonna be. It's gonna
• 2:07:20
  be Cody versus Roman. Like, I don't see that changing up at all.
• 2:07:26
  Like they already tried to switch things up and you saw what the immediately
• 2:07:31
  deal with the massive backlash to that was. So Night two main event Cody
• 2:07:38
  Rose versus Roman reigns for the undisputed ww Championship. That's you can lock that
• 2:07:44
  in as much as something can be possibly locked in and I am certain that
• 2:07:51
  Cody will walk out as champion because I don't think there's any way in hell
• 2:07:57
  you can pull off the same thing again in terms of Cody not finished,
• 2:08:03
  losing again and not finishing his story. You don't put this man on the
• 2:08:07
  cover of YO two K twenty four game. He is the face of your
• 2:08:11
  company right now. And while I thought he should have won it last year
• 2:08:18
  at the time, looking back at it in hindsight, I can understand why
• 2:08:22
  he didn't like there was a valid argument to be made either way last year.
• 2:08:30
  So the fact that he did it win it last year, I understand
• 2:08:33
  that I can accept that there's no way in hell you can pull that off
• 2:08:37
  again. There's there's there is no, in my opinion, no legitimate argument
• 2:08:45
  that could be made as to why Cody would not win this year and continue
• 2:08:52
  as a chance. You don't think they could do this. You don't think
• 2:08:54
  they could let do the same match to your in a row and have the
• 2:09:01
  same results two years in a row. You don't think they could do that
• 2:09:03
  two years in a row. No, I'm not in this case. I'm
• 2:09:09
  pretty sure that has been done before. I just don't see it happening in
• 2:09:13
  this case into these circumstances. I mean we had the Rock, we had
• 2:09:18
  Stone Cold beat the Rock twice at WrestleMania, made events with one basically one
• 2:09:22
  year in between them. That's off year. So yeah, I know that
• 2:09:26
  we can get similar matches with similar outcome. Sean Michaels versus The Undertaker back
• 2:09:33
  to back years talking about like being able to walk away with with a loss,
• 2:09:41
  like Shawn Michaels never got that w overtaker at wres Ever and even like
• 2:09:46
  when we got John Cen versus the Rocky John didn't win his first year.
• 2:09:50
  He remember him sitting his ass on that stage as that pirate went off the
• 2:09:56
  first year. What happened the second year? He won? Like that?
• 2:10:00
  That's what I mean? Is it? Is it like where it's just is
• 2:10:03
  this like a Shawn Michaels Taker thing, where like Cody just never finishes his
• 2:10:09
  story, he never gets what he wants or is this like a Johnson or
• 2:10:11
  Rock We're like this year, I'm wiser, I'm this year is my year
• 2:10:16
  like you got the w last year, this time I get the w.
• 2:10:20
  Well, the thing for me with Cody finishing his story is is the then
• 2:10:26
  what you know like, Okay, so he finishes the story, then what
• 2:10:31
  he's gonna go have a title reign? Like, what is that gonna look
• 2:10:33
  like? What's gonna be compelling about that? Uh? You know? Uh.
• 2:10:39
  One of the big differences between WWE and uh you know, uh n
• 2:10:46
  w A, Jim Crockett Promotions, w c W, whatever was it they
• 2:10:50
  the latter often had the faces were chasing the heel champion, whereas in WWE,
• 2:10:58
  it was always the champion just crushing the you know, the heel of
• 2:11:03
  the week. And I always have felt that, like the money is in
• 2:11:07
  the chase, you know, and once you once you get the thing,
• 2:11:11
  it's always like, oh what what now? So I hope that if they're
• 2:11:16
  going to finally do this with Cody and he is going to finish his story,
• 2:11:20
  I hope they've given an awful lot of thought to what happens the next
• 2:11:24
  day on RAW, because if Cody does do this and then has a fucking
• 2:11:30
  flop of a of a title reign, you know what was all this for.
• 2:11:37
  It was for the moment. It was for the moment of him getting
• 2:11:41
  the win and becoming the champion. As we've seen with other phases of the
• 2:11:48
  company, they got to have They got to get there first, They got
• 2:11:50
  to become the champion. They gotta have to have their moment, like you
• 2:11:54
  know, the Austin three to sixteen era has begun. Can we say that
• 2:11:58
  every Stone Steve Watson title reign was truly memorable? Probably not, but he
• 2:12:05
  was the face of the company, and that's where the money was. The
• 2:12:09
  money was in him being the representative of the company, being the face and
• 2:12:13
  winning the title and then yeah, eventually losing it to somebody, and then
• 2:12:18
  being back in the chasing winning it again and being that perpetual guy that just
• 2:12:24
  remained at the top for the duration. That's kind of been ww's formula,
• 2:12:28
  even with John Cena as the face. The moment was. Honestly, I
• 2:12:33
  don't even know how memorable his John Cena's first WW title win was partially because
• 2:12:39
  I probably wouldn't watch it at that time. But for others who were bigger
• 2:12:43
  Senia fans, they probably that might be a memorable moment for them. He
• 2:12:48
  was a nice champion, and then he'd beat Big Show one year at WrestleMania.
• 2:12:52
  Then he won a whole year, lost this title to No. No,
• 2:12:56
  I'm talking about the first one I'm talking about the first one, not
• 2:12:58
  all the other ones, but the first time Johnsena became WW champion. I
• 2:13:03
  don't know, how does that frank as memorable one? Like he'd beat Iron
• 2:13:09
  Sheek for his first title win Austin. We remember WrestleMania fifteen, I mean
• 2:13:13
  fourteen, sorry, fourteen against Sean Michaels. The Austin Era has begun,
• 2:13:18
  so you know what happens after the fact is tbd. But you gotta have
• 2:13:24
  the moment first, well, I would. I would also say that back
• 2:13:26
  then people had way less title runs, you know, like how many title
• 2:13:31
  runs its own call have three or four? Or seen? It had?
• 2:13:33
  What fifteen? Like? So I yeah, you want to ask me about
• 2:13:37
  the Pacific John Cena title run? I couldn't fucking tell you because he had
• 2:13:41
  so goddamn many. I don't remember which is first, which is the third,
• 2:13:46
  which is the eighth? Which I don't know, but I yeah,
• 2:13:48
  but I you know, we remember the boyhood dream is realized. We remember
• 2:13:52
  Austin era has begun. Yeah, right, exactly, So you got to
• 2:13:58
  have that because seventeen more titles, you know, I mean, well,
• 2:14:01
  all I'm saying is that we can cross those Bridges when we get to him.
• 2:14:05
  But you got to have the first one. He has to have,
• 2:14:07
  Like you said, Cody has to have his boyhood dream moment, his Austin
• 2:14:11
  three to sixteen era has begun moment. He's got to have that. He's
• 2:14:16
  and his will be finishing the story, So he's got to have that first.
• 2:14:20
  Then what goes from there, It'll probably just be like any other babyface
• 2:14:24
  champion. He'll faces whatever he'll rises up to challenge him, and he'll knock
• 2:14:31
  him down until they decide that whoever is worthy of dethroning him, whether that
• 2:14:35
  be Gunter or a he'll seth Rollins or whoever. But that's down the line.
• 2:14:45
  For right now, Cody's got to have his moment. We're getting back
• 2:14:48
  to the actual question that was asked about freaking Damien Priest judgment and his cash
• 2:14:52
  in. Oh yeah, yeah, that I think we're still like before.
• 2:15:00
  I think if there's going to be a cash in from Damian Priest, it's
• 2:15:03
  seems slated to happen with the IC title potentially, because I don't see any
• 2:15:11
  space for him in the undisputed WW title or world title picture for a cash
• 2:15:16
  in. I just don't see it, I don't see him cash on technically
• 2:15:22
  what he has told July, right, he does have told July I mean,
• 2:15:28
  but I mean I think that I think his run with the briefcase has
• 2:15:31
  been terrible. It's yeah, we've definitely talked about that yet and I'm in
• 2:15:39
  total agreement with you. But assuming that Drew defeats Seth Brollins at w at
• 2:15:46
  WrestleMania and becomes the new World haweight Champion, which I definitely think it's going
• 2:15:52
  to happen, do we think Drew has a short title reign? Do we
• 2:15:56
  think he carries it past whenever the money in the bank. I could see
• 2:16:01
  him getting I could see him beating Seth and immediately getting cashed in on and
• 2:16:05
  losing it. And then he's even more pissed off because he finally won the
• 2:16:09
  title in front of people and immediately lost it. But to Damian Priest,
• 2:16:18
  Oh, that was bold. That is bold to say the least. I'm
• 2:16:22
  not predicting it, but it's a possibility. Oh yeah, it is.
• 2:16:28
  Man, that's gonna take some titanium balls to pull that one off. Did
• 2:16:31
  you guys see Sean Spears slash Ty Dillinger slash Chelsea greens Man. No,
• 2:16:37
  not Chelsea Green, Peyton Royce, former wrestler Peytons, Cassidy her Man just
• 2:16:46
  showed up on NXT. He had the number gimmick man. That sucks.
• 2:16:54
  He could showed up at the Rumble and number ten man. Yeah when when?
• 2:17:00
  When? Is? Uh? When he is Zach Ryder coming back?
• 2:17:03
  Man? All these rumors about this man coming back and he sounds like he's
• 2:17:07
  pushing hard to come back. And I said, dude, what what what's
• 2:17:13
  the hold up? Seriously, what's the hold up? I guess is w
• 2:17:16
  W doesn't have any interest in him? I guess I mean did he just
• 2:17:20
  didn't he re sign with tn A. I don't know, I don't know
• 2:17:24
  what his status is. And like I don't see I don't know that he's
• 2:17:28
  t n A. I think he's appeared for them, but I don't think
• 2:17:31
  he's signed by them. And also like former wrestler w W wrestler Dolph Ziggler
• 2:17:39
  and uh oh, who was the other wrestler who just won a title?
• 2:17:43
  Who? Yeah? So just in a few something he wanted to do Japan
• 2:17:54
  title, didn't he he still won a title. What I'm getting at is
• 2:17:58
  these guy former ww guys. You know, they've been out of the company
• 2:18:03
  for a short amount of time and thus far immediately going to another company and
• 2:18:07
  getting a title slapped on them quickly. And we kind of talked about that
• 2:18:13
  when they got released, and it's funny how fast the wheels go into motion
• 2:18:18
  and that happens. Like you know, we're like, oh, they'll probably
• 2:18:20
  throw a new Japan wrestling title in this guy, and you know, give
• 2:18:24
  it a month or two, and it's exactly how we predicted it. I
• 2:18:28
  mean, good for them. I hope they can elevate whatever roster that they're
• 2:18:33
  on currently, you know, get squeezed some juice out of those guys,
• 2:18:37
  because you know, some of them still have a lot of talent left to
• 2:18:41
  give, a lot left, a lot of guests left in the tank.
• 2:18:46
  Speaking of signings, wwe just signed Tamatonga, who is uh Paku's nephew.
• 2:18:54
  I think I'm not sure if he's in the bloodline or not. I feel
• 2:19:03
  like Hacku is, so maybe I don't back he was. He was an
• 2:19:09
  attack team called the Gorillas of Destiny who were pretty big in new and part
• 2:19:15
  of the Bullet Club. Whe that I don't think Haku is part of the
• 2:19:24
  Onawa family. I don't think he is technically, Okay, I can't that
• 2:19:28
  that's so as we saw the graphic of the family trade pretty extensive. But
• 2:19:37
  anyway, that might be somebody to look at going forward. Interesting. Yeah,
• 2:19:45
  Hakuo is a tongue and professional wrestler. Yeah, so he doesn't even
• 2:19:52
  I don't think he's not even some mooing technically yea, but either is either
• 2:19:58
  the Snucker. But then they're part of the thing. I don't know.
• 2:20:01
  There's a lot of like blood other relationships. Yeah, yeah, so they're
• 2:20:09
  not technically like the Rock and Roman Reigns are not genetically related. But you
• 2:20:15
  know, this blood brother thing is that it's a significant thing in their culture,
• 2:20:20
  and so they're considered family to each other, which is who am I
• 2:20:22
  to argue? The Rock says and so and so is his cousin. I'm
• 2:20:28
  yes, sir, mister mister Johnson, Sir, Yeah, I mean he
• 2:20:31
  is. He's clearly been accepted into that family. He technically holds the rank
• 2:20:35
  of high chief. Yeah, within that, within that family, within that
• 2:20:41
  actual bloodline. You know, Roman Reigns is a tell the TV head of
• 2:20:46
  the Table Rock has actual an actual title in the family. Yeah, I'm
• 2:20:52
  pretty sure the Rock bought the table. Yeah, Like he's the one supply
• 2:20:58
  in the chairs to the table, Like everyone's coming to his house to sit
• 2:21:03
  at his table. I mean about don't downplay Roman too much now, Roman
• 2:21:09
  paying some bills out there. M Yeah, there's a real game of Thrones
• 2:21:15
  now, isn't it. Yeah? I mean Roman kicking in on the rent.
