- 6:01Speaker 7: for real.
- 6:04Speaker 4: I'm pretty lemon steppers. Lemon.
- 6:12Speaker 7: I'm super white. So you know, there's like always a
- 6:14Speaker 7: hard emphisodes on the aura.
- 6:16Speaker 8: That's how white people say, you know, the lemon.
- 6:20Speaker 7: Per Geez, guys, this went Southwest?
- 6:31Speaker 8: Well, let's let's let's talk about it. Let's talk about
- 6:33Speaker 8: the fucking thing that's on every about in his mind.
- 6:37Speaker 8: What's we're gonna talk about this fucking crate that keeps
- 6:44Speaker 8: getting sent what what keeps getting sent to? I guess
- 6:49Speaker 8: they decided to put it back on the truck and
- 6:51Speaker 8: send it to the next show. You know, Oh this
- 6:56Speaker 8: is you know, Nick All, this is problem Oh no,
- 6:58Speaker 8: it's Adam Pierce is problem them. So let's pray to
- 7:02Speaker 8: God that there's not a human being inside there, because
- 7:05Speaker 8: they might be dead.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Well, I mean, whoever it is, whoever it is is
- 7:09Speaker 1: gonna be rich, right because they instead of just then
- 7:12Speaker 1: in Chicago, they sent it to wherever the Saint Louis,
- 7:14Speaker 1: and then to Milwaukee, and then wherever the hell they
- 7:17Speaker 1: are send it to Rocks, and the SmackDown send it
- 7:19Speaker 1: back to Row.
- 7:19Speaker 4: So obviously it's a million dollar man. He's been a
- 7:26Speaker 4: little busy in the courtroom with the Sun this week.
- 7:30Speaker 8: The box even shows wear and tear from being moved,
- 7:32Speaker 8: which is thing is kind of funny.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't know that. That's kind of funny.
- 7:38Speaker 8: Yeah, it looks like it's just I mean, it's a
- 7:41Speaker 8: legit crate. If they're really like shipping it between shows,
- 7:45Speaker 8: which is really fucking stupid, that's what they're really doing.
- 7:48Speaker 8: But yeah, you can tell it's been like loaded and unloaded.
- 7:51Speaker 3: And you know, yeah, obviously they'rehipping in between shows that Yackdown,
- 7:56Speaker 3: they're not teleporting it.
- 7:58Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 8:03Speaker 3: The raw box and then a SmackDown a sclusive box.
- 8:09Speaker 1: A little bit because they're haul and how many thousands
- 8:13Speaker 1: of pounds of others sit from city to city?
- 8:15Speaker 4: Why not? Why not a crate full more? But yeah, way,
- 8:19Speaker 4: and like you said it.
- 8:20Speaker 1: It can't be a person, right because have they been
- 8:22Speaker 1: in there sitting and petting and what are they eating?
- 8:25Speaker 4: Is there baby oil in there?
- 8:27Speaker 1: Because if it's the person, I assume they're gonna come
- 8:29Speaker 1: out covered in baby oil.
- 8:31Speaker 4: How are they gonna let their hair before they come out?
- 8:34Speaker 3: Prince man, that's what makes the thing ridiculous.
- 8:42Speaker 4: Did everybody see that?
- 8:43Speaker 1: Did every I'm sorry they change the subject? Did everybody
- 8:45Speaker 1: see Vince getting pulled over? Then the video finally came out?
- 8:49Speaker 4: Yeah, did see the crash? Oh well, the video of
- 8:55Speaker 4: the cop targe is amazing. Yeah, need to my granddaughter's
- 9:01Speaker 4: person to have it. And he's like, well, I'm tasting
- 9:04Speaker 4: it for a while and just the lights. Oh yeah,
- 9:07Speaker 4: I saw him. I thought it was normal. Like what
- 9:09Speaker 4: that could make? Damn it? This cargo to damn fast?
- 9:15Speaker 4: Oh it's price. I just give somemary on it. Go
- 9:20Speaker 4: find this word. Anyway.
- 9:21Speaker 7: That's the definition of a senior citizen, like needing to
- 9:26Speaker 7: have their license removed.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Right, jeez, you guys.
- 9:34Speaker 8: I'm gonna let you guys get three picks apiece on
- 9:37Speaker 8: this box, all right, because it's gotta be a person, right.
- 9:44Speaker 4: I only need one. I only need one pick because
- 9:46Speaker 4: I know what's in it.
- 9:47Speaker 8: All right, all right, legit, but that's that's go ahead.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Okay, Well I don't have to go forest. I'm just
- 9:57Speaker 1: it's disappointment. That's what's in the box.
- 9:59Speaker 4: That's whatever it is, it's gonna be fucking stupid. It's fun.
- 10:06Speaker 4: I don't think it's Jericho. I don't think it's stan Houisen.
- 10:09Speaker 7: Uh.
- 10:10Speaker 10: I would love it if it was Bianca and and
- 10:12Speaker 10: all this. The surgery pictures were for months ago. Uh,
- 10:16Speaker 10: but I don't think it is. I think it's gonna
- 10:17Speaker 10: be an ad for the video game or something fucking
- 10:22Speaker 10: idiotically stupid. A statue, that's what I think it's.
- 10:27Speaker 4: It's going to be disappointing.
- 10:28Speaker 8: It's gonna be stinging again, isn't it. I knew it.
- 10:32Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the last.
- 10:33Speaker 7: Three, right, it's gonna be No, it's gonna be stinging
- 10:37Speaker 7: and Darby Allen.
- 10:40Speaker 4: Uh, it's gonna be a giant all instance.
- 10:43Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean, okay, so you're not thinking that as.
- 10:48Speaker 4: Any I mean, I suppose.
- 10:50Speaker 10: I don't think it's gonna be Jericho, but if it is,
- 10:52Speaker 10: it's not gonna be him. It's gonna be like a
- 10:55Speaker 10: button on a pedestal that says they puts me and
- 10:57Speaker 10: then somebody gonna hit the button and then the countdowns
- 10:59Speaker 10: in a start or something like that.
- 11:02Speaker 1: So I don't think it's a person. I think it's
- 11:04Speaker 1: gonna be stupid. I think it's gonna be like an
- 11:07Speaker 1: ad for the video game. But I'm interested to do
- 11:12Speaker 1: hear what you fellows have to say.
- 11:15Speaker 3: It's definitely I'm in agreement with you that it's gonna
- 11:17Speaker 3: be something dumb, like for one, for it to be
- 11:20Speaker 3: a person would be utterly stupid, because then you're asking
- 11:24Speaker 3: people to believe that a person has been sitting in
- 11:26Speaker 3: a box for weeks on and being transported across the country,
- 11:30Speaker 3: which is fucking dumb. If it's some sort of item
- 11:33Speaker 3: to promote something, then it's like that's dumb because it's like,
- 11:37Speaker 3: why the fuck is there. There's no item, no, no
- 11:41Speaker 3: inanimate object or thing that is worth this type of promotion, nothing,
- 11:48Speaker 3: nothing at all. So to go through all this just
- 11:52Speaker 3: to promote some random item thing or product or whatever
- 11:58Speaker 3: also fucking stupid. So I don't see any scenario where
- 12:03Speaker 3: this comes out as being anything worthwhile and really in
- 12:09Speaker 3: the in the history of wrestling, has this ship ever
- 12:12Speaker 3: worked out? Here's a mystery box, mystery item that we're
- 12:16Speaker 3: at a parade in front of y'all for weeks on end,
- 12:18Speaker 3: and then reveal that this show. What's what the mystery
- 12:22Speaker 3: item is? It's been something dumb every fucking time. I
- 12:27Speaker 3: don't know that this has ever worked in wrestling history,
- 12:29Speaker 3: and yet they still dust it off. Whether it was
- 12:32Speaker 3: the dumb ass Gobbledegooker or the fucking shock Master or
- 12:37Speaker 3: whatever it was, or the Higher Power or the Black
- 12:41Speaker 3: Scorpion or ship like.
- 12:43Speaker 4: This never or Vincent Sun.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Right, it never works, and yet they doing it. Yep,
- 12:57Speaker 3: what's what I'll tell you what's in that bop?
- 12:59Speaker 4: Was it?
- 13:00Speaker 3: That box is no pop? That's what's in that box.
- 13:04Speaker 7: There's crickets.
- 13:05Speaker 3: Huh exactly, It's a box of crickets. That's what'sitting there,
- 13:12Speaker 3: all right.
- 13:12Speaker 7: So, contrary to Doyle and Dres, you know, it can't
- 13:17Speaker 7: be a person, because how are we supposed to believe?
- 13:20Speaker 7: I would say, don't we believe that, like the Wyatt
- 13:23Speaker 7: Six have powers and they're capable of all these incredible feats,
- 13:28Speaker 7: you know, the Undertaker calls lightning and stuff like that,
- 13:31Speaker 7: Like we believe that but we can't believe that somebody
- 13:33Speaker 7: can be alive in a box. That's just me nitpicking.
- 13:38Speaker 7: I do believe it could be somebody Jericho would be,
- 13:44Speaker 7: you know, that would be disappointing, Like if it's going
- 13:47Speaker 7: to be any superstar, don't do Jericho. I think the
- 13:50Speaker 7: the idea Doyle had mentioned about like a stool with
- 13:55Speaker 7: a button, then you press it and it starts to countdown.
- 13:58Speaker 7: I'd be okay with that, Like I know, I don't know.
- 14:01Speaker 7: I guess it probably wouldn't get a lot of praise
- 14:04Speaker 7: anywhere else. You know, you guys have made your point
- 14:06Speaker 7: very very clear.
- 14:07Speaker 11: But I wouldn't you know, I wouldn't mind it, Like
- 14:10Speaker 11: it would be like a cool I don't think anybody
- 14:13Speaker 11: else would expect to see it coming, especially alive, you know,
- 14:16Speaker 11: when you're sitting there in the in the arena.
- 14:20Speaker 7: So as for who I would like to see, ah, shoot,
- 14:25Speaker 7: I have absolutely no idea. I can't even keep track
- 14:28Speaker 7: of who's injured and out and how long they've been
- 14:31Speaker 7: out to be at a point of returning, you know
- 14:34Speaker 7: what I mean. So I don't know who I would
- 14:39Speaker 7: like to see in the box. It'd be a heck
- 14:44Speaker 7: of an elaborate, you know, thing for game advertisement or
- 14:48Speaker 7: something like that. But you know, never say never, because
- 14:53Speaker 7: you know, much to you guys's credit, they have done
- 14:56Speaker 7: stupid shit like that before. You know, I'm not gonna
- 14:59Speaker 7: di count that. I'm gonna not here and be delusional
- 15:02Speaker 7: about it. So in all honesty, I don't know. But
- 15:10Speaker 7: the button idea, that's that's kind of stuck with me. Now,
- 15:16Speaker 7: what is it.
- 15:17Speaker 8: I've been reading a lot that uh, Jericho's contract is
- 15:21Speaker 8: still with AW It's it's been frozen, you know, it
- 15:25Speaker 8: was it was it was time off in April. So
- 15:28Speaker 8: the speculation of it being Jericho, I don't think there.
- 15:34Speaker 8: You know, then I hear I've heard a lot of
- 15:36Speaker 8: people talk about Dan Housen, and it would make the
- 15:40Speaker 8: most logical sense, you know.
- 15:42Speaker 1: For his character kind of, but it has to be
- 15:46Speaker 1: if if it if it is a person or it
- 15:47Speaker 1: leads to a person.
- 15:49Speaker 10: I feel like it has to be somebody we already know,
- 15:51Speaker 10: because introducing somebody like this close to WrestleMania, I just
- 15:56Speaker 10: with all this other ship going on, just seems like
- 15:58Speaker 10: a would do a huge a service to whoever they're
- 16:01Speaker 10: trying to introduce us to.
- 16:02Speaker 1: You know that there's this guy. This is this Japanese
- 16:05Speaker 1: wrestle Evil that they've apparently signed.
- 16:07Speaker 4: Like I think he might if diff what's happening.
- 16:10Speaker 10: I think I think the way I'd be thinking about
- 16:12Speaker 10: this would be totally different if it wasn't right before WrestleMania,
- 16:15Speaker 10: if this was an August or something, you know, Like,
- 16:18Speaker 10: I just feel like to to introduce a new character
- 16:22Speaker 10: right now in this way would would It's just gonna
- 16:25Speaker 10: get buried under all the other stuff, you.
- 16:27Speaker 4: Know what I mean?
- 16:28Speaker 10: Like there's so all the WrestleMania bills and all the
- 16:30Speaker 10: other shit going and the mask man, all this other
- 16:32Speaker 10: shit going on. I feel like you'd be doing a
- 16:35Speaker 10: disturbance to try to introduce a new character in this way.
- 16:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I does make a lot of sense. I think
- 16:43Speaker 4: Dan hasand makes a lot of sense.
- 16:45Speaker 10: But I also think he's an NFC guy, you know
- 16:48Speaker 10: what I mean.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Like, I don't think even even if he does eventually
- 16:52Speaker 1: sign him with WWE, I can't fathom a universe in
- 16:56Speaker 1: where he's like a major player.
- 16:58Speaker 4: He's going to be the now with face pain.
- 17:00Speaker 1: You know, he's probably the only introduction.
- 17:07Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't think his introduction would get this type
- 17:09Speaker 10: of hype if it were to be him.
- 17:13Speaker 3: But I think he's also can see being in that box,
- 17:17Speaker 3: Like if there was to actually be a human being
- 17:20Speaker 3: in that box, He's probably the only one that I
- 17:23Speaker 3: could probably accept coming out of that box. I surely
- 17:28Speaker 3: hope they wouldn't do it for the Japanese wrestler Evil,
- 17:31Speaker 3: because that just screams old, you know, racist eighties or
- 17:36Speaker 3: whatever of wrestling, like, oh, warn guy shipped over in
- 17:39Speaker 3: a box, mystery God. Just like, Okay, he's he's still
- 17:46Speaker 3: a human. He could just debute like any other human.
- 17:49Speaker 8: Some of the other names here listed on the Internet
- 17:52Speaker 8: that are going around, I'll say, you know, for the
- 17:55Speaker 8: most popular to least popular, we've got Dan Housen, Jericho
- 17:59Speaker 8: beyond Uncle bell Air, Pat McAfee.
- 18:03Speaker 10: Yeah, I like, I love the idea of it being
- 18:05Speaker 10: Beyonca somehow. Yeah, because like I said, she's she showed
- 18:10Speaker 10: all those surgery in physical therapy pictures or whatever. But
- 18:13Speaker 10: it wasn't like she was holding up a newspaper. You know,
- 18:15Speaker 10: that could have been months ago for all we know,
- 18:17Speaker 10: and she's just now posting it, especially if she's trying
- 18:20Speaker 10: to throw you off the trail, right, Like I think.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Well I was gonna, I'll get to this in the
- 18:25Speaker 1: middle woman's bo Well, yeah, I agree, But like if
- 18:32Speaker 1: she somehow gets added as the seventh entrant into the
- 18:35Speaker 1: a chamber somehow, as I don't know, like I think,
- 18:38Speaker 1: because we've all pertained, Like the person that makes the
- 18:41Speaker 1: most sense to win that women chamber is someone who's
- 18:42Speaker 1: not even.
- 18:43Speaker 4: Wrestling right now, let alone in the match.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Because it's presumably they'll be getting the Jade match and
- 18:49Speaker 1: it makes all the sense in the world for But yeah,
- 18:53Speaker 1: you're absolutely right.
- 18:54Speaker 4: Beanca deserves better than uh that kind of internet for sure.
- 19:01Speaker 8: Either way. Uh, I guess if if this whole pl
- 19:07Speaker 8: is a watch, at least we have What's in the Box?
- 19:09Speaker 8: Right uh?
- 19:13Speaker 3: Another, Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna find out and.
- 19:15Speaker 4: We can still go what's in the box.
- 19:18Speaker 3: We're uh just make you wish I had a soundboard
- 19:21Speaker 3: right now. I was just throwing off playing the old
- 19:26Speaker 3: SNL sketch is taking up box?
- 19:30Speaker 7: Yeah you just intimately.
- 19:36Speaker 8: Taking a box. Oh man, Okay, that is all clashing.
- 19:42Speaker 7: It Depending on who it is, it could very well
- 19:45Speaker 7: be at Dick in a Box.
- 19:47Speaker 8: Uh yeah, May thirty first clash in italyst guys. So
- 19:54Speaker 8: that should be fun, that should be exciting and may yeah,
- 20:00Speaker 8: uh what else, like I got some interesting stuff here
- 20:05Speaker 8: in news? Uh, Vince is looking to try to buy
- 20:10Speaker 8: back WWE. He's crazy, I think, Yeah, I think that
- 20:17Speaker 8: at eighty Yeah, I think it's clickbait. Why would you
- 20:20Speaker 8: sell a company just to turn around and try to
- 20:21Speaker 8: buy back regardless of all the ship generated.
- 20:26Speaker 4: I think I think it's hand was a little forced
- 20:28Speaker 4: on the sale.
- 20:29Speaker 8: Yeah, right by me at the point in time and
- 20:31Speaker 8: in the in his eighties, like so much of the
- 20:33Speaker 8: product has already changed to go be put back in
- 20:37Speaker 8: Vince's hands, to just be changed back again. It's just
- 20:41Speaker 8: it's a wild idea that would never happen.
- 20:45Speaker 4: Just not enough people think I'm out of touch.
- 20:48Speaker 8: All right, go buy own island, make your own list,
- 20:52Speaker 8: you know, go do your thing, old man, do billionaire thing.
- 20:56Speaker 7: Bentley incident wasn't enough, right, Oh god, it fantastic. I
- 21:05Speaker 7: saw the pictures of them just sitting there, like, what
- 21:07Speaker 7: the fuck happened?
- 21:08Speaker 8: Did you guys see how.
- 21:11Speaker 3: One Vince's pockets ain't deep enough to buy back w
- 21:14Speaker 3: w E from TKO.
- 21:15Speaker 4: Well, they're saying he'll be Yeah, that's what.
- 21:19Speaker 3: That's why I was gonna go next with it is
- 21:22Speaker 3: if in which I agree with you all. I do
- 21:25Speaker 3: think this is total bullshit story and nothing, a big
- 21:28Speaker 3: nothing burger. But if we were to say go along
- 21:32Speaker 3: with this and say that there was some credence to
- 21:35Speaker 3: there's some credibility to the story. Best case scenario from
- 21:42Speaker 3: a matter of perspective, But the only way I could
- 21:44Speaker 3: see it playing out would be if Rio Season or
- 21:47Speaker 3: Saudi Sports Authority or whoever were the ones that actually
- 21:51Speaker 3: buy w w E off of t k O, and
- 21:55Speaker 3: then once they buy it back, then they appoint Vince
- 22:00Speaker 3: back in charge because obviously the one who he's the
- 22:04Speaker 3: one who forged the initial relationship with them. Presumably he
- 22:08Speaker 3: probably still has a good relationship with the Saudis, and
- 22:11Speaker 3: maybe he's been facilitating something behind the scenes through them
- 22:16Speaker 3: as a means to get back in charge. Even if
- 22:18Speaker 3: he doesn't have ownership of the company, he just maybe
- 22:23Speaker 3: wants to be in charge of it it, wants to
- 22:24Speaker 3: run it, and he uses the Saudis as his proxy
- 22:28Speaker 3: to get back into that position. That's about the only
- 22:32Speaker 3: scenario I could see playing out. But again, I still
- 22:35Speaker 3: don't think that's gonna happen. I don't think t k
- 22:38Speaker 3: O is anywhere near looking to sell this off, especially
- 22:45Speaker 3: this year. Yeah. Off, what I saw today that apparently
- 22:48Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five WWE generated more revenue than UFC.
- 22:55Speaker 4: From live events. Yeah, yeah, more money.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Overall because they have more or they have more and
- 23:01Speaker 1: better sponsorship deal but something.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's all was like USC generated one point
- 23:07Speaker 3: five billion dollars in revenue and WWE generated one point
- 23:12Speaker 3: seven to one billion dollars of revenue. Yeah.
- 23:15Speaker 10: I now not the ntkare would never sell, but I
- 23:19Speaker 10: can't imagine it it so quickly, you know, I can't
- 23:22Speaker 10: imagine they were cut paid on this. Well, let's let's
- 23:27Speaker 10: go in.
- 23:28Speaker 8: To this subject then. About update on WrestleMania forty two
- 23:34Speaker 8: ticket sales following the weekend discount. All signs are pointing
- 23:38Speaker 8: to this year's WrestleMania forty two in his ticket purchases
- 23:41Speaker 8: remain low, if not worse than from reports made last week.
- 23:46Speaker 8: According to this Week's Wrestling Observant newsletter, last week in

- 23:52Speaker 8: discount to generate more purchases. First two night Blockbuster in
- 23:56Speaker 8: April eighteenth and nineteenth at the Stadium in Las Vegas. However,
- 24:00Speaker 8: there appeared to be no movement even when it promoted

- 27:06Speaker 8: Dude, No, so we're talking like from two grand all
- 27:11Speaker 8: the way up to thirty seven thousand.
- 27:16Speaker 4: Wow.
- 27:18Speaker 7: First, if I have a question, did you say sweet
- 27:21Speaker 7: by the Sea, sweet by the seat? Was that one
- 27:24Speaker 7: of the sweet by the seat?
- 27:27Speaker 8: Yeah? I don't know.
- 27:28Speaker 7: Or by the Sea is in like ocean?
- 27:30Speaker 3: No?
- 27:31Speaker 8: No, no, sweet seat. They had two day premium sweet seating.
- 27:35Speaker 8: They have to me too much, bunch together. It really
- 27:40Speaker 8: doesn't Oh god.
- 27:42Speaker 3: It's just you know, I'm gonna take a position that
- 27:46Speaker 3: might not be popular. But how were you higher tier pack?
- 27:52Speaker 4: I can't wait to hear that.
- 27:53Speaker 3: I say, those higher tier packages, the thirty seven thousand dollars,
- 27:58Speaker 3: twenty thousand dollars packages, whatever.
- 28:02Speaker 4: I'm not mad at those.
- 28:04Speaker 3: I don't have any problem with those with packages like
- 28:06Speaker 3: that at all, whatsoever. Obviously, WWE has the type of
- 28:11Speaker 3: appeal where it appeals across all tax brackets, whether it's
- 28:16Speaker 3: your regular blue collar working drow to millionaires. And people
- 28:20Speaker 3: with more money than they'll ever spend in their lifetime.
- 28:24Speaker 3: So if they're catering to all of them and offering
- 28:27Speaker 3: those people who have the money that type of package,
- 28:31Speaker 3: because obviously they know there are fans who will spend
- 28:34Speaker 3: that type of money for it. So if they put
- 28:36Speaker 3: those together for those who can afford it and spend
- 28:41Speaker 3: those type of packages, and they attend these type of
- 28:44Speaker 3: events looking for that type of thing, you know, that
- 28:47Speaker 3: top line, elite package that they get a one of
- 28:49Speaker 3: a kind of experience, go for it, by all means.
- 28:52Speaker 3: I don't have any problem with that at all whatsoever.
- 28:57Speaker 3: My thing is just that WWE has shifted everything towards
- 29:04Speaker 3: the top and they've left out the people at the bottom.
- 29:08Speaker 3: They've left out the regular everyday people and go or
- 29:12Speaker 3: made it it turned into such a thing where regular
- 29:16Speaker 3: people now have to treat attending a simple wrestling show
- 29:20Speaker 3: as a financial investment. Yeah, and that's that. It's lost
- 29:25Speaker 3: the spirit of what it used to be. It used
- 29:26Speaker 3: to be a thing where you could just bring the
- 29:28Speaker 3: family out and have fun and see some cool wrestling,
- 29:33Speaker 3: and that's no longer.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Remember the documentary about it was in the last year.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Yeah, and they were like one of the like, we
- 29:41Speaker 1: always have to have twenty five dollars tickets to whatever something.
- 29:46Speaker 4: I can't believe there's admitting that this is how they
- 29:49Speaker 4: used to do it.
- 29:50Speaker 1: And they said, oh you know what, that was going well,
- 29:52Speaker 1: but fuck it and fuck them. Yeah right, And that
- 29:57Speaker 1: was to spend some rich asshole wants to spend people's
- 30:02Speaker 1: average salary on a two on a two night event
- 30:05Speaker 1: or whatever. Good, go ahead, if you got it and
- 30:08Speaker 1: you want to spend it, go for it. Yeah, it's
- 30:10Speaker 1: it's those six hundred dollars seats in the last fucking row,
- 30:14Speaker 1: you know. I agree, that's the problem. That's where the problem.
- 30:19Speaker 3: That's the problem is that is that they they've they've
- 30:23Speaker 3: they've priced out the regular people. That that's that's where
- 30:28Speaker 3: my issue is always gonna lie. Is that regular people
- 30:31Speaker 3: can't just see that hey, WW is coming to town.
- 30:36Speaker 4: All right, cool, we're gonna go.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Now, it's like ww's comeing town, Well can we afford it?
- 30:41Speaker 3: Let's see what they're looking like. And it's it's a
- 30:44Speaker 3: whole thing to try to just attend tickets for a
- 30:48Speaker 3: regular show, let alone a WrestleMania Like.
- 30:52Speaker 1: It's not just wrestling either I mean it's fucking baseball
- 30:56Speaker 1: and football and basketball and hockey and concerts and every
- 31:00Speaker 1: really across the boards.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Sports, yeah, all sports across the board, or just pricing
- 31:06Speaker 3: out regular people. But like I see, which is why
- 31:12Speaker 3: I would say something that we probably haven't said enough
- 31:14Speaker 3: on this show that we should probably say, more support
- 31:17Speaker 3: your local independent wrestlers. Yes, that's that's the last place
- 31:22Speaker 3: where wrestling is still affordable, your local and your local
- 31:26Speaker 3: and your regional indie promotions.
- 31:30Speaker 7: But see, that's the part of it that that gets
- 31:32Speaker 7: me about all these these package deals is because like, okay,
- 31:35Speaker 7: you can wait for Monday Night All or Friday Night
- 31:38Speaker 7: SmackDown or even NXT now that they're they seem to
- 31:40Speaker 7: be on the road every now and then you can
- 31:43Speaker 7: wait for those to come around once or twice a
- 31:45Speaker 7: year and see those same exact superstars that are with
- 31:50Speaker 7: the exception of Steiner Brothers, I don't know who in
- 31:52Speaker 7: the rama wants to see them, but you can see
- 31:54Speaker 7: those same exact superstars on a Monday night or a
- 31:57Speaker 7: Friday night and you're telling me that I got to
- 32:00Speaker 7: pay you know, twenty thirty thousand dollars just to get
- 32:04Speaker 7: you know, a meet and greet and photo op when
- 32:06Speaker 7: I could you know, pay three. You know, however many
- 32:10Speaker 7: times less you know, maybe like a month or two
- 32:13Speaker 7: down the road and get that same op, like they
- 32:17Speaker 7: don't ever go there. Yeah, there's but my point is
- 32:21Speaker 7: like there's no justification for the price that you're charging
- 32:26Speaker 7: other than maybe a slightly better seat, you know, like
- 32:31Speaker 7: that's that's about it.
- 32:33Speaker 3: I would say maybe there's probably something to it, maybe
- 32:35Speaker 3: not toward that type of price, but being in a
- 32:38Speaker 3: suite where you're more likely you're going to have your
- 32:42Speaker 3: own private waiters and stuff like that, you don't have
- 32:46Speaker 3: to you ain't fighting a lone to concessions. You probably
- 32:48Speaker 3: got access to your own private bathroom probably, right. So,
- 32:54Speaker 3: I mean there's stuff that comes with those sweet seatings
- 32:55Speaker 3: that are worth it. And there's a difference between seeing
- 33:00Speaker 3: somebody from your vantage point of your seat as they're
- 33:03Speaker 3: going to the ring and doing their performance versus you know,
- 33:07Speaker 3: actual meet and greet where they're coming in to you know,
- 33:11Speaker 3: presumably hang out with you or your group for a
- 33:16Speaker 3: period of time. You know, right now, if they come
- 33:19Speaker 3: in there and they're like hey, hi, hi, and they
- 33:22Speaker 3: just five minutes of your pitch, Pitcher, Okay bye, Then
- 33:25Speaker 3: I'd be like, yeah, you kind of got shafted.
- 33:27Speaker 7: And that's where I would want to know, Like after WrestleMania,
- 33:32Speaker 7: if I could just like talk to the person that
- 33:35Speaker 7: bought that package deal and ask them how it was
- 33:39Speaker 7: and like how much time they spent with the superstars,
- 33:41Speaker 7: like one on one to see if it was actually
- 33:43Speaker 7: worth that sort of investment, you know what I mean,
- 33:47Speaker 7: because right now it just doesn't seem like it's I
- 33:50Speaker 7: can't fathom a world where even if I had that
- 33:52Speaker 7: kind of money, I'm paying that to go and like, oh, okay,
- 33:56Speaker 7: you just wait.
- 34:01Speaker 3: And I would also assure that the people who pay
- 34:03Speaker 3: for those packages probably aren't the most die super die
- 34:08Speaker 3: hard of wrestling fans. They're probably more casual and it's like, oh,
- 34:12Speaker 3: this is popular thing, so let's do it. They do
- 34:15Speaker 3: it more for showing off and for status. The die
- 34:18Speaker 3: hard wrestling fan who's really about that, you know, truly
- 34:23Speaker 3: truly about this wrestling life, who has that money to
- 34:25Speaker 3: burn you know what? Ticket thereby, the motherfuckers are front
- 34:28Speaker 3: row because they want to be right up there with
- 34:31Speaker 3: the action. So that's where the real die hard wrestling
- 34:35Speaker 3: fans with money to burn are at. The people who
- 34:37Speaker 3: are up there in the suites are probably just again
- 34:41Speaker 3: rich people who just exactly clout chasing. They're just there
- 34:45Speaker 3: for status and for image, like so they can go
- 34:48Speaker 3: back to the friends. Yes, we read Wrestlemanian, we said
- 34:52Speaker 3: in the suites and conversed with Skoltsteina and like, they don't.
- 35:00Speaker 7: We were two boxes down from Jake pol.
- 35:02Speaker 3: Right, they aren't going to sit there and be like,
- 35:04Speaker 3: oh my god, did you see that match? With these
- 35:05Speaker 3: They don't give a shit about that.
- 35:08Speaker 12: So uh so again that point I think lost in
- 35:12Speaker 12: this whole ticket sales being down discussion though, and yes,
- 35:17Speaker 12: a big part of it is that ticket prices are
- 35:19Speaker 12: fucking outrageously offensive.
- 35:20Speaker 1: But the first W in WWE stands for world and
- 35:25Speaker 1: WrestleMania is an event that people come from all over
- 35:28Speaker 1: the world to attend, and nobody wants to come here
- 35:32Speaker 1: right now, like tourism is down. I think I think
- 35:37Speaker 1: I put it in this quite the other day.
- 35:39Speaker 4: I looked it up.
- 35:39Speaker 10: I can't remember what it was, but I want to
- 35:40Speaker 10: say fifteen to twenty percent, something like even Canadians who
- 35:45Speaker 10: just have to get in the car and drive a
- 35:46Speaker 10: couple of miles in some instances don't want to come here,
- 35:51Speaker 10: you know, so I think I think, I think they're
- 35:54Speaker 10: they're shooting something are put by propping up the reason
- 35:57Speaker 10: that people don't want to come here and at the
- 36:00Speaker 10: same time pricing people out that are here already and
- 36:03Speaker 10: niggas come but can't afford it, you know. So it's
- 36:06Speaker 10: just like they're they're they're they're courting themselves in both
- 36:08Speaker 10: feet at the same time.
- 36:10Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
- 36:11Speaker 3: And also think going back to Vegas, running the back
- 36:13Speaker 3: in Vegas, I don't think that helped either.
- 36:14Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, no, I agree. I think you're were looking
- 36:17Speaker 4: forward to going to New Orleans. Yeah, New Orleans one
- 36:22Speaker 4: of them. I'm not that Vegas isn't cool, but New
- 36:24Speaker 4: Orleans fucking awesome.
- 36:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:27Speaker 4: I was one of them.
- 36:28Speaker 3: I may not have been playing wrong attending wrestle media itself,
- 36:31Speaker 3: but I was going to be down there for everything else.
- 36:33Speaker 8: Mm hmm.
- 36:34Speaker 4: Yeah, well they would be pissed off when I found
- 36:37Speaker 4: out that they blacked out.
- 36:38Speaker 13: The Yeah, yeah, it couldn't sadder because, like as a
- 36:45Speaker 13: Pats fan as a kid, that they were horrible And
- 36:47Speaker 13: the NFL had that same rule where.
- 36:49Speaker 4: If the Sodian didn't. They didn't show the game locally.
- 36:51Speaker 4: So I was a kid.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Most of my little kid, most of my Patriot memories
- 36:56Speaker 1: from the radios because they weren't on CVA because they
- 36:58Speaker 1: were fucking horrible and the sadium been shot and gets
- 37:02Speaker 1: what the NFL heard in that politics, It was fucking
- 37:07Speaker 1: So I think WW is gonna find the same thing.
- 37:10Speaker 8: I did want to bring that up. The WW is
- 37:14Speaker 8: doing a blackout parties. It was in a fifty miles yeah,
- 37:21Speaker 8: for the chamber wherever the pl is being held. I
- 37:24Speaker 8: was in a fifty mile radius trying to up sales,
- 37:29Speaker 8: and all.
- 37:30Speaker 4: That really does is get local business.
- 37:32Speaker 10: It cuts off that, yeah, you know, like the local
- 37:35Speaker 10: bar that might have had an event for it and.
- 37:37Speaker 4: Maybe had a big night, you know, revenue wise.
- 37:40Speaker 3: It fucked Yeah, exactly. Yeah, suffering from this and into
- 37:44Speaker 3: much the fan who doesn't you know, who can't attend it,
- 37:48Speaker 3: like this isn't going to work the way they think
- 37:50Speaker 3: it is. Where it's like, oh, you can't wash it
- 37:52Speaker 3: at a watch party, so you have to buy the ticket.
- 37:54Speaker 4: People like, fuck your ticket, I'll go home and watch it.
- 37:58Speaker 3: Like this is not going to so's nobody's sitting there like,
- 38:02Speaker 3: oh man, I can't go to Hooters. Oh well, I
- 38:05Speaker 3: guess a couple of hundred dollars to go see it.
- 38:09Speaker 4: Spend thirty pound dollars and WrestleMania triggers you.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Like, I mean, Doyle think or thinking is thinking like that?
- 38:16Speaker 8: Doyle? If anybody like I bring that up to you
- 38:19Speaker 8: who lives so close to you know, the stadium, Like
- 38:23Speaker 8: have you ever like, ah, fuck this, I can just
- 38:26Speaker 8: go to the stadium and see it and instead of
- 38:28Speaker 8: watching it on TV.
- 38:29Speaker 4: No, I mean, and unless you're in that front row,
- 38:33Speaker 4: you know you're looking at the screen.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Anyway rest of the time, right at these big stadium
- 38:38Speaker 1: shows anyway.
- 38:39Speaker 10: You know, it's like I can watch this at home
- 38:42Speaker 10: for and not have the leg lines in the bathroom
- 38:44Speaker 10: and not you know, if I yell something, you know,
- 38:48Speaker 10: I don't have to worry about somebody getting pitched off
- 38:50Speaker 10: and taking a swing at me or you. I don't
- 38:53Speaker 10: have to maybe you know, ye, I can guarantee either
- 38:58Speaker 10: going to have the beer I want or whatever, you know,
- 39:00Speaker 10: like whatever it is, I can poke a joint.
- 39:02Speaker 4: I can watch on my underwear if I want.
- 39:04Speaker 8: You know what I mean, Like, speaking of underwear, I
- 39:08Speaker 8: can in my underwear, Dirty Dom. Did you guys say
- 39:14Speaker 8: that Dirty Dom is now going to be having dude
- 39:17Speaker 8: wipe ads on his gear and in the future we're.

- 39:25Speaker 8: Dude wipe, dude wise, dude wipe statue.
- 39:30Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
- 39:32Speaker 4: Dumb decision.
- 39:33Speaker 8: Now wrestlers are advertising on their gear, is it like
- 39:37Speaker 8: it's fucking Nascar.
- 39:38Speaker 3: Nothing will make me not want to buy somebody's gear
- 39:41Speaker 3: more than seeing some fucking sponsored bullshit on the gear.
- 39:46Speaker 8: Dude.
- 39:46Speaker 3: If I was gonna buy Dominic Mysterio gear is because
- 39:49Speaker 3: for Dominic Mysterio, I do not want to walk around
- 39:52Speaker 3: with fucking dude wipes on my goddamn shirt.
- 39:56Speaker 7: They're going the way of NBA and NFL. I think
- 40:00Speaker 7: they they really started following much Dwayne set of it
- 40:04Speaker 7: or you know NASCAR. You know, they were walking billboards
- 40:07Speaker 7: and then uh yeah, it was like NASCAR.
- 40:12Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, that's that's right. It does.
- 40:14Speaker 3: It started with NASCAR, then made its place to the
- 40:17Speaker 3: NBA and w NBA and such and such. But I
- 40:19Speaker 3: think those are completely different. Well I agree, Well, one NASCAR,
- 40:25Speaker 3: those sponsors spots in NASCAR serve a fucking purpose because
- 40:28Speaker 3: building and maintaining and run those cars is expensive as
- 40:31Speaker 3: ship for a little lass team with drivers. So you
- 40:34Speaker 3: know that that sponsorship and all stuff is pretty much
- 40:37Speaker 3: ingrained into the culture of NASCAR, so it made sense.
- 40:41Speaker 3: It was even fashionable at one point, you know where
- 40:43Speaker 3: people were buying these, you know, NASCAR jack leather jackets
- 40:46Speaker 3: were all the sponsor spots. Like it's ingrained to the culture,
- 40:49Speaker 3: it made sense there NBA doing it. Honestly, I still
- 40:54Speaker 3: don't really like it in the NBA, but they somewhat
- 40:57Speaker 3: keep it to at least a minimum.
- 41:00Speaker 7: Like a patch or something like one square.
- 41:03Speaker 3: Patch or something like that. W NBA has had to
- 41:05Speaker 3: do it more so because they don't. For many years,
- 41:09Speaker 3: they weren't bringing in the level of revenue, so they
- 41:12Speaker 3: had to do that with their jerseys, which is part
- 41:15Speaker 3: of the reason why I've hated w NBA jerseys because
- 41:18Speaker 3: you can't if you were looking at a team like
- 41:21Speaker 3: the Minnesota Lynx, you wouldn't know they're the Middesota Lynks.
- 41:24Speaker 3: You would think they're the Mayo Clinic Whoever's because and
- 41:29Speaker 3: that's really been my biggest gripe with their jerseys, It's
- 41:31Speaker 3: just like like I'm look it up, Allline, look up
- 41:35Speaker 3: like Minnesota. I don't know it's changed, maybe in the
- 41:36Speaker 3: last year too, But for the many, the most prominent
- 41:39Speaker 3: thing on on the w NBA Minnesota Lynks team was
- 41:43Speaker 3: Mayo Clinic, not the team itself.
- 41:49Speaker 4: Hey, and that was that was a problem for it.
- 41:51Speaker 3: Like you want to support your favorite player like Maya
- 41:54Speaker 3: Moore or somebody, and you got Mayo Clinic on the
- 41:57Speaker 3: front of your ship. It's like, dope. People don't shop
- 42:01Speaker 3: like that. People don't want to support the sponsor. They
- 42:04Speaker 3: want to support the r right under their numbers.
- 42:07Speaker 7: It says Mayo. Huh, yeah, that is dumbest ship exactly.
- 42:12Speaker 4: It's horrible.
- 42:13Speaker 3: You can't you can't recognize that as a Minnesota Links
- 42:16Speaker 3: jersey unless they finally put links up there somewhere or
- 42:19Speaker 3: Minnesota or something somewhere.
- 42:21Speaker 7: But no, like, yeah, I'm looking at it. I'm looking
- 42:23Speaker 7: at an athlete right now, and she's running the court.
- 42:26Speaker 7: Mayo Clinic is like right under her her collar and
- 42:30Speaker 7: then it has the team logo and then right underneath
- 42:32Speaker 7: that a.
- 42:32Speaker 3: T and T in just a big as.
- 42:34Speaker 8: Fonts number Tyler who's number five. Then, because then I
- 42:39Speaker 8: think they're number yeah, because then the Jersey b Sinco
- 42:43Speaker 8: de Mayo, I'll see myself out.
- 42:52Speaker 7: I'm right after you.
- 42:53Speaker 8: All right, So let's move along here. Uh let's talk
- 42:58Speaker 8: about the her business. And I know I'm not talking
- 43:02Speaker 8: about Bobby Lashley, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, No, I'm not talking
- 43:06Speaker 8: about them. I'm talking about Seth Rollins, Brown Breaker, and
- 43:11Speaker 8: Bronson Reid. The entire vision is now on the injured roster.
- 43:19Speaker 8: The original vision, I should say, is on the injured roster.
- 43:24Speaker 8: Let's let's talk about this injured roster. It's insane everybody
- 43:31Speaker 8: who's out. And you know, I feel terrible because this
- 43:34Speaker 8: is always the road to WrestleMania. It's so important that
- 43:39Speaker 8: you get on that card, you get that big payday.
- 43:42Speaker 8: You know, you be a part of that part of history.
- 43:45Speaker 8: And this week on Raw, Bronson Reid suffered a you know, distill,
- 43:53Speaker 8: distill bicep terror.
- 43:57Speaker 4: You know, it doesn't even look like anything there, but
- 44:00Speaker 4: then it was like, oh, gnarl like movement.
- 44:06Speaker 7: Was it like Cody Road level like noticeable?
- 44:09Speaker 14: No no, no, no, no, uh no, I mean it
- 44:12Speaker 14: wasn't black and blue light that, but you could see
- 44:15Speaker 14: that like it looked like it kind of looked like
- 44:17Speaker 14: long as a fifth, like where his biception.
- 44:20Speaker 4: Of bilk, I don't know you could you could tell
- 44:23Speaker 4: them sucked up.
- 44:25Speaker 1: Yeah, But like physical movement that's like breaking up the
- 44:28Speaker 1: tin or whatever he injured himself on, like didn't look
- 44:31Speaker 1: like anything.
- 44:32Speaker 4: It wasn't like he'd jumping off the front rope or
- 44:34Speaker 4: the top rope and his leg is hanging by a thread.
- 44:37Speaker 4: You know. It wasn't like one of those really visceral
- 44:40Speaker 4: looking kind of things.
- 44:42Speaker 3: It was a vicious injury or anything like that, right,
- 44:47Speaker 3: I mean, we have Brons and Reid.
- 44:50Speaker 4: Why this is why you don't. This is why you
- 44:51Speaker 4: don't funk with the injury gods. You don't. You don't, uh,
- 44:55Speaker 4: you know, wag your finger at them. That's what happens,
- 44:59Speaker 4: and you fake injuries.
- 45:00Speaker 8: We also have.
- 45:03Speaker 3: Many happened to just walking up and just stomping the motherfucker.
- 45:09Speaker 8: From what I saw, it looked like more when uh
- 45:13Speaker 8: Chad Chad Gable, he flipped Chad Gable up over his
- 45:17Speaker 8: head and then Chad got him into about I'm sorry. Yeah,
- 45:25Speaker 8: he flipped him up over and then right before he
- 45:27Speaker 8: gave him that's where he that's where he pulled.
- 45:32Speaker 3: It six killed him.
- 45:34Speaker 7: But yeah, guys, we we.
- 45:36Speaker 8: Have now another guy out, you know, Bronson reed. We Uh,
- 45:42Speaker 8: I'm gonna go down the list here. We still have
- 45:43Speaker 8: Naomi out from attorney leave. We have rox s and
- 45:46Speaker 8: Prez still out, Seth Rollins still out, Seamus is now out,
- 45:52Speaker 8: Xavier Woods is out even though he was just on
- 45:55Speaker 8: TV not too long ago. Zoe we start, bab Bianca
- 46:01Speaker 8: is still out. Chelsea Green in our back.
- 46:06Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they were both sack down Friday.
- 46:08Speaker 8: Did they wrestle.
- 46:11Speaker 3: No, but they meet in had a backstage segment with
- 46:17Speaker 3: so so they're both back a back on television.
- 46:20Speaker 8: We still have Chelsea Green on television, Elton Princes out,
- 46:25Speaker 8: Kevin Owens is still out. We talked about Piper Nevin
- 46:29Speaker 8: still being out, you know, and then there's a couple
- 46:33Speaker 8: of NXC people.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Uh.
- 46:35Speaker 8: But it's it's a lot. It's a lot missing, you know,
- 46:40Speaker 8: guys like brown Breaker. That's I think that's gonna be
- 46:43Speaker 8: another hit for WrestleMania. I think they had plans for
- 46:46Speaker 8: these guys for the vision originally for wrestling, and now
- 46:49Speaker 8: it's kind of all going out the window.
- 46:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's a number of people that are out.
- 46:57Speaker 3: But I think among those among those names, the I
- 47:01Speaker 3: think the only ones that are really impactful as far
- 47:04Speaker 3: as Wressellmania is concerned is probably Broun, Breaker, Bronson, Red,
- 47:09Speaker 3: and Bianca Bell there obviously were They're not being back in.
- 47:14Speaker 4: Time, huh.
- 47:16Speaker 3: And it's death. Yeah.
- 47:20Speaker 4: The rest of them.
- 47:23Speaker 15: Is gonna proceeds, is gonna not miss a beat, but
- 47:26Speaker 15: of Deowe Star Sorry Zoe, right, you know, but I
- 47:30Speaker 15: think I think I think the four and the I mean,
- 47:33Speaker 15: I think they're gonna throw They're gonna change the whole
- 47:36Speaker 15: fucking mas Man storry Now, I think, right, all sorts
- 47:41Speaker 15: of ships. Like I wasn't supposed to win that match,
- 47:44Speaker 15: Broun was the max Man, was supposed to interfere in
- 47:47Speaker 15: the match, I believe from what the what the dirts say,
- 47:50Speaker 15: you know, so like the domino effect of all of
- 47:52Speaker 15: this is pretty substantial.
- 47:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah, yeah. Now, granted, Bronston Reed probably
- 47:59Speaker 3: wasn't gonna win the elimination Chamber match, so it's just
- 48:03Speaker 3: they may just have to the match with Jay and
- 48:06Speaker 3: maybe certain spots that maybe Bronson would have factored into
- 48:09Speaker 3: or whatever story lines they may have been planning coming
- 48:12Speaker 3: out of that going into WrestleMania obviously will have to
- 48:16Speaker 3: be reworked. And that's where I really feel bad for
- 48:19Speaker 3: with Bronson Reid is that you know, obviously Seth Seth
- 48:23Speaker 3: is a maid man, He's the top guy. Once he
- 48:25Speaker 3: comes back, he's right back at the top like always
- 48:29Speaker 3: ron Breaker. I'm pretty sure they're still very high on him,
- 48:33Speaker 3: so whenever he finally comes back, they'll probably just immediately
- 48:36Speaker 3: put the rocket right back on him and start pushing
- 48:39Speaker 3: him back to the top. But with bron Breaker being out,
- 48:44Speaker 3: this was Bronson Reid's opportunity. This was his moment where
- 48:48Speaker 3: if he could have stayed healthy, he could have he
- 48:52Speaker 3: could have gotten the spotlight on him as the hopefully
- 48:56Speaker 3: the like the de facto leader, the pseudo leader of
- 49:01Speaker 3: the Vision, as its most experienced guy left in there.
- 49:05Speaker 3: He could have stepped into that leadership role and really
- 49:09Speaker 3: gotten some eyeballs on him and had a chance to
- 49:12Speaker 3: elevate himself with those other guys out immediately. And that's
- 49:20Speaker 3: the other thing too, is like now that he's injured again, yeah.
- 49:26Speaker 4: I mean he was on his way and then I
- 49:29Speaker 4: think he's at a higher high now.
- 49:31Speaker 1: But yeah, it sucks, like those times he starts getting
- 49:35Speaker 1: his act together, or not his act together, but he
- 49:37Speaker 1: starts getting a little momentum under.
- 49:39Speaker 4: Him, and he hurt.
- 49:42Speaker 3: Yeah, and if that happens, and if that happens too much,
- 49:45Speaker 3: then you run the risk of Creative losing faith in you,
- 49:48Speaker 3: and then you don't get any spotlight or any major
- 49:51Speaker 3: programs built around you, because they are fearful that. You know,
- 49:55Speaker 3: if they if they give you the push, you're gonna
- 49:58Speaker 3: get injured and it's gonna blow up their play. It
- 50:00Speaker 3: is like, you know, we saw what happened to Finn Balor.
- 50:03Speaker 3: They made him champion, he was, he got injured, advocated
- 50:07Speaker 3: the title, just now starting to get back into a
- 50:10Speaker 3: title picture. Now how many years later, you know, right?
- 50:16Speaker 3: You know, even jim that's been the reason why Jimmy
- 50:18Speaker 3: us Yeah, people have said that's the way is why
- 50:21Speaker 3: Jimmy Ustill hasn't been pushed to the level that Jay
- 50:23Speaker 3: has been pushed. It is because Jimmy couldn't stay healthy.
- 50:25Speaker 3: He always got injured. You know, I mean, I'd hate
- 50:30Speaker 3: for that to happen Tobron to Bronson Reid is he
- 50:33Speaker 3: gets labeled as the guy who can't stay healthy and
- 50:35Speaker 3: therefore they they don't invest in him, right.
- 50:38Speaker 7: That actually, you know your your your point, Dre actually
- 50:41Speaker 7: brings up a good question to me.
- 50:44Speaker 4: In my mind.
- 50:46Speaker 7: So is it people that are not experienced enough yet indering,
- 50:54Speaker 7: you know, executing, and then they just execute wrong and
- 50:56Speaker 7: they're getting injured or is it they're being pushed too
- 50:59Speaker 7: hard and when they're out there performing then they're getting injured.
- 51:03Speaker 7: Like it's a I don't know. It just occurred to
- 51:06Speaker 7: me as like a que like I don't know.
- 51:08Speaker 4: Because it's hard to say. I don't know.
- 51:10Speaker 7: I understand the people have.
- 51:12Speaker 3: To wow, Didy goomute.
- 51:23Speaker 8: No, anyway, let's let's follow you guys.
- 51:30Speaker 4: Well to answer that question. I don't like to answer
- 51:33Speaker 4: that question.
- 51:33Speaker 3: I don't think it's it's hard to say what is
- 51:36Speaker 3: causing it or anything one injuries or just the nature
- 51:38Speaker 3: of the business. And given that none of us here
- 51:41Speaker 3: are wrestlers, I don't think any of us are really
- 51:43Speaker 3: qualified to try to say what specifically is leading to
- 51:47Speaker 3: injuries of the sort in wrestling. You know this, that
- 51:51Speaker 3: and the third. You know, anybody with an idea could
- 51:56Speaker 3: come up with an opinion. Somebody could argue, you know,
- 51:58Speaker 3: all the lack of house shows, so guys aren't getting
- 52:00Speaker 3: the reps. So when they are even that they're not
- 52:03Speaker 3: wrestling as all their bodies aren't as callous up or whatever.
- 52:07Speaker 3: You know, somebody could make that argument, and maybe there's
- 52:10Speaker 3: some credibility to it. Maybe it's not could just be
- 52:14Speaker 3: the style of wrestling that they do nowadays. You know,
- 52:17Speaker 3: it is much more athletic than what they used to
- 52:20Speaker 3: do back in the day, which was you know, a
- 52:23Speaker 3: little not saying it wasn't athletic, but you know, everybody
- 52:26Speaker 3: wasn't an athlete. Some people were just brawlers or more
- 52:29Speaker 3: ground or more technical, or you know, the pace was slower,
- 52:33Speaker 3: you know, not as many fast paced or high fight
- 52:36Speaker 3: spots as there are nowadays. That could be a factor
- 52:38Speaker 3: in it. I mean, you can't really pin it down
- 52:41Speaker 3: on one thing, so I mean, it's it's it's kind
- 52:44Speaker 3: of hard to speculate on what is causing it.
- 52:47Speaker 4: It just seems to come in waves. This is kind
- 52:49Speaker 4: of what WWE is now.
- 52:51Speaker 3: They have a group of wrestlers who are out and
- 52:54Speaker 3: a group of wrestlers that come back, and they seem
- 52:56Speaker 3: to kind of cycle in and out. It could be
- 52:58Speaker 3: some of the lack of usage that their roster is
- 53:01Speaker 3: so deep that you know, people might be healthy, but
- 53:04Speaker 3: they're just not getting used. Then they finally get get
- 53:07Speaker 3: called in to do a match, and you know, you know,
- 53:09Speaker 3: they may have been on TV for you know, weeks
- 53:13Speaker 3: on end, but this is maybe the first match they've
- 53:16Speaker 3: actually wrestled all month. Where have they been in backstay
- 53:19Speaker 3: segments for the last couple of weeks or whatever? I mean,
- 53:22Speaker 3: really hard to say.
- 53:26Speaker 7: A giant question mark.
- 53:27Speaker 3: Yeah nice.
- 53:33Speaker 8: Let's move on, guys. It's been a while since we
- 53:35Speaker 8: talked about the bracket, the fantasy match bracket. We're on
- 53:39Speaker 8: the next round here. This next round, since there's three
- 53:45Speaker 8: of you, guys, sweet perfect, I'll keep my opinion out.
- 53:49Speaker 8: We have Dean Ambrose versus Mick Foley. Now this this
- 53:56Speaker 8: fantasy match is going up against seth Rawlins and versus
- 54:00Speaker 8: Sean Michaels Dundu uh Tyler. I want to get uh.
- 54:08Speaker 8: I wanna get you first.
- 54:09Speaker 3: So when we say Dan, am.
- 54:14Speaker 7: I actually want to hear uh this question be?
- 54:17Speaker 8: I think you're asking it? Could it be John? I
- 54:20Speaker 8: gonna have any version of this character?
- 54:24Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna ask. Yeah, when we say
- 54:25Speaker 3: Dan Ambrose, are you limiting it just the w W
- 54:28Speaker 3: or are we including a W John Moxley.
- 54:30Speaker 8: Now I'm talking about him as a whole. Yeah, whatever
- 54:35Speaker 8: best version of him you've see in your head.
- 54:37Speaker 3: Okay, so we're talking. Yeah, whether it's I really think composite.
- 54:44Speaker 7: Okay, I think either version of of danam like you know,
- 54:51Speaker 7: whatever his freaking real name is. I don't know either
- 54:54Speaker 7: ego alter ego, you know what I mean, Dean Ambrose
- 54:57Speaker 7: or John Moxley and Mike fall. He's got multiple egos
- 55:02Speaker 7: as well, no matter how you pair it up for
- 55:05Speaker 7: the century, yeah, yeah, yet, no matter which ones you
- 55:10Speaker 7: pair up against each other, the possibilities are infinite, and
- 55:14Speaker 7: I think you're gonna get a great match every time,
- 55:16Speaker 7: one that will be remembered for the rest of time.
- 55:22Speaker 7: I don't feel that when I think of Seth Seth
- 55:25Speaker 7: Rawlins versus Sean Shawn Michaels.
- 55:28Speaker 8: Uh.
- 55:28Speaker 7: So I'm gonna go Dean Ambrose versus mc foley.
- 55:34Speaker 4: Okay, Drey, I am too. Oh sorry, jump the gun toil.
- 55:45Speaker 8: I guess I guess there's yeah, damn, damn, go ahead.
- 55:54Speaker 3: With your answer.
- 55:55Speaker 4: I think I think it's it's what what what style
- 55:58Speaker 4: do you like? Better, right you brawling or do you
- 56:01Speaker 4: like work rate kind of match?
- 56:03Speaker 1: Uh?
- 56:03Speaker 3: And for me, I like brawlin.
- 56:06Speaker 1: Uh And I think this is a tough one because
- 56:09Speaker 1: I think since uh Sean would be sucking awesome also,
- 56:13Speaker 1: uh but uh yeah, give me Cactus Jack and uh
- 56:17Speaker 1: probably the probably the this version of.
- 56:20Speaker 4: John mox is current Jane Moxley, and we almost done that.
- 56:24Speaker 4: I think they had like a.
- 56:25Speaker 1: Twitter feud for a while, but it never materialized into
- 56:28Speaker 1: anything real. But we tend to go for the brawling
- 56:33Speaker 1: kind of style a little more than the work great
- 56:36Speaker 1: kind of style. Uh So I would go with Ambrose
- 56:40Speaker 1: and totally after all, fully is God.
- 56:45Speaker 7: That might actually be close to happening because mc foley
- 56:48Speaker 7: seems very discontent with how things are going with WWE
- 56:51Speaker 7: right now.
- 56:53Speaker 8: Do you think, well, I don't.
- 56:54Speaker 4: Think he's getting so yeah, yeah, he can't police way
- 57:04Speaker 4: past getting back in the ring at this point for good.
- 57:09Speaker 8: HPK versus seth rollins, is that where you're leaning more towards.
- 57:14Speaker 4: Well, that is where I'm where I'm leaning towards.
- 57:19Speaker 3: I mean, as it was already as it's already been
- 57:23Speaker 3: mentioned when you talk about Dean Ambrose, John Moxley versus
- 57:28Speaker 3: any face of Foley. You know, that's a wide gambit,
- 57:33Speaker 3: and I always contend that current John Moxley versus say,
- 57:40Speaker 3: you know, two thousand Cactus Jack is a much more
- 57:45Speaker 3: compelling match than Blue Jeans and Wife Beater Dean Ambrose.
- 57:52Speaker 3: But when Seth rollins versus to me, I lean, I
- 57:58Speaker 3: personally lean towards versus Sewan as being a better match overall.
- 58:04Speaker 3: But I would definitely love to see again if I
- 58:09Speaker 3: was going for like a pure hardcore match while I
- 58:12Speaker 3: was in that type of mood, then yeah, a w
- 58:16Speaker 3: John Moxley versus Cactus Jack. It's probably about as good
- 58:20Speaker 3: of a dream match as you could get in that regard.
- 58:23Speaker 1: Right, So.
- 58:27Speaker 3: I'm still, even though I love even I would love
- 58:30Speaker 3: that match, I'm still gonna go with uh Seth versus
- 58:35Speaker 3: Sewn just because no matter what iteration of them you get,
- 58:40Speaker 3: you're guaranteed a good match, whereas I think, you know,
- 58:45Speaker 3: Moxley Foley.
- 58:48Speaker 4: Can go can be really good.
- 58:50Speaker 3: Or really mid depending on what version what iteration do
- 58:54Speaker 3: you get? Yet?
- 58:57Speaker 1: Right?
- 58:58Speaker 8: All right, it's like John Moxley and Mick Foley carry
- 59:03Speaker 8: on in the Tournament of Fantasy matches, Well, what would
- 59:08Speaker 8: you have voted for See. That's the thing, man, is
- 59:11Speaker 8: I I would have voted HBK versus Seth Rollins. I mean,
- 59:18Speaker 8: God damn, and I would have had this, Yeah, I
- 59:24Speaker 8: would have. You know, I'm thinking of like you could
- 59:28Speaker 8: have done it with the iteration of of d X
- 59:31Speaker 8: and the versus the shield. Or you could have done
- 59:34Speaker 8: corporate Rollins, you know, versus d X, you know, or
- 59:39Speaker 8: you could just do later Sean Michaels even you know,
- 59:43Speaker 8: like the late years of Shawn Michaels when he was
- 59:45Speaker 8: on his own versus you know, Seth Rollins.
- 59:50Speaker 1: You know.
- 59:51Speaker 8: Now, there's just so many combinations the promos would be
- 59:55Speaker 8: really good. I mean, I classic HBK face and and
- 1:00:01Speaker 8: heal fucking Rollins. Or you could swap it. You could
- 1:00:04Speaker 8: do it either way and it would still work for me.
- 1:00:07Speaker 8: I mean, as much as I would love to see,
- 1:00:10Speaker 8: you know, just two guys beat the shit out of
- 1:00:12Speaker 8: each other with weapons and put you know, uh, chop
- 1:00:17Speaker 8: sticks in their foreheads and and thumbtacks in their asses
- 1:00:20Speaker 8: and light the fire and throwing potted plants at each other,
- 1:00:24Speaker 8: and God have fire extinguishures.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:00:28Speaker 8: I don't know what else am I missing barbed wire
- 1:00:30Speaker 8: on a baseball bat. You know, I would love to
- 1:00:33Speaker 8: see gallons of blood and and and you know barbed
- 1:00:37Speaker 8: wire probably, you know ropes and you know explosions. You know,
- 1:00:42Speaker 8: it's probably what you would get out of that match, right,
- 1:00:46Speaker 8: But goddamn with SETH Rollins versus HBKA be an amazing
- 1:00:51Speaker 8: fucking match especially, I could see that being that's wrestlemanit
- 1:00:55Speaker 8: quality right there. You know, I could see John Moxley
- 1:00:58Speaker 8: versus Mick foleyt like No Way Out or Hell in
- 1:01:01Speaker 8: the Cell or you know.
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: But well, speaking of boiler rooms, they could have a
- 1:01:08Speaker 4: boiler room brawl there you go. No, not.
- 1:01:14Speaker 7: My room, Not my room.
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: I would say, though, in the at least in defense
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: of the Moxley Foley match, is that, at least with
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: Folly involved in it, the hardcore stuff would have a
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: certain degree of logic behind it or a certain storytelling
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: aspect about it, like Folly has noticed. Yes, it's the
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: hardcore legend. It did a whole bunch of extreme stuff.
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: But the thing that I think Folly doesn't get enough
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: credit for is he wasn't doing that stuff just for
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: the sake of it. It always flowed within the form
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: of a match still taking place. It wasn't like, all right,
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: I got you here, shoved this in your head and
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: I'm just gonna whack you with this for the hell like,
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: there was always a sense and behind right, there was
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: always storytelling behind the spots in his match. It wasn't
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: just doing it for the ships and giggles. Like when
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: he fell off the hell in a cell cage, there
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: was story leading up to that. He started the match
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: on the cage on the top, you know, baby did
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: undertaking it coming up there, which led to him getting
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: thrown off. You think about the the eye quit match
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: he had with the Rock, you know, him taking those
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: chair shots to the head came after everything else before
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: it where he did not quit, where he was put
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: in the position where that was all that was. You know,
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: that was Rock's only option was to cuff him and
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: to just beat his fucking brains in with a chair.
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: His match with Triplation, you know, before they got to
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: the thumb. You know that came after Oh yeah, yeah,
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: that's but yeah, there was like there was an elevation,
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: there was a progression into it, whereas you know Moxley
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily do it it's just like, all right, down
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: on the ground, what's the nearest thing? All right, got it?
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: Grab it, hit you with it, shove it up in you.
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: But so I would try to give.
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: Some credit.
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: If they were If that's a fair point, yeah, I
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: would say that. Like, at least with Folly involved, I
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: think he would drive Moxley to insert a degree of
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: logic into the hard coresponse that they would inevitably, inevitably have.
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: He was said of Moxley sitting there like all right,
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: and now I'm gonna stab you in the back with
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: some chopsticks. Folly would look at him.
- 1:03:31Speaker 4: And go, why why Yeah that I'm against it, but why.
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: Make it makes sense? If it makes sense, we can
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: do it. We're not just doing it just for the
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: hell of it.
- 1:03:44Speaker 7: That's probably where a W is lacking, is the logic
- 1:03:47Speaker 7: behind the execution of what they're doing.
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:03:51Speaker 7: That's a very that's a very Yeah.
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: They just do ship for the reaction. It's like all right,
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, they're they're like the women. Blood and
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: gust match is great as it was the thing that
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: kind of held me back that I kind of looked
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: down on it for again, still a great match. It
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: was one of my candidates for Match of the Year
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: last year, but it was just too much of a spotfest.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: They were just doing stuff just to do it, like
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: there was no real cohesion or flow to the spots.
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: It was just like one hardcore spot to the next.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: And that's my only real knock against it. But you're
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: right about AW and their lack of logic.
- 1:04:32Speaker 8: All right, let's move on, let's actually kick off this PLA.
- 1:04:40Speaker 16: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, This is sir David Atamara. As
- 1:04:46Speaker 16: you know, pro wrestling over the years has become incredibly overwhelming.
- 1:04:52Speaker 16: We have Monday Night Raw at three hours, NXT at
- 1:04:57Speaker 16: two hours, SmackDown at two hours, and some shit called
- 1:05:02Speaker 16: Evolve and o FG. Let us not forget TNA and
- 1:05:08Speaker 16: ae W. Also then some other wall start time p
- 1:05:13Speaker 16: l E at at am. Anyways, what I'm driving at
- 1:05:18Speaker 16: is the time PC W Watson for you every day
- 1:05:23Speaker 16: to cover up all this bloody shit. So the least
- 1:05:27Speaker 16: you can do is head over to Pro Wrestling Teas
- 1:05:30Speaker 16: dot com and look up your favorite wrestling podcast.
- 1:05:34Speaker 7: And buy a coddown shirt. You are a mark, can't you.
- 1:05:40Speaker 7: I'm wearing one right now.
- 1:05:42Speaker 16: I showed us on support and got some for friends
- 1:05:45Speaker 16: and am I can't wait for them to open their
- 1:05:49Speaker 16: gifts and go Who the fuck is Podcast Championship for Wrestling?
- 1:06:01Speaker 8: Okay, it is taking place in Chicago, Illinois, uh, hometown
- 1:06:09Speaker 8: of c M Punk also called Cabana. But Julie and
- 1:06:17Speaker 8: and and and and and who else? Who else? Uh?
- 1:06:29Speaker 4: So?
- 1:06:29Speaker 8: I think who else? That was one thing I thought about. Yeah,
- 1:06:36Speaker 8: that was the first thing I looked at.
- 1:06:37Speaker 5: Though.
- 1:06:38Speaker 8: When they talked about the box being at the chamber,
- 1:06:41Speaker 8: I was like, Oh, is somebody from Chicago that I
- 1:06:44Speaker 8: should know about that might be in the box?
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: Not really, Nope, William Perry the fridge.
- 1:06:56Speaker 7: I think he's alive even Yeah, So does that mean
- 1:07:02Speaker 7: that it's getting opened that elimination chamber? I think, because
- 1:07:05Speaker 7: why else take it there?
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: Presumably?
- 1:07:07Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 1:07:08Speaker 4: I mean it says open on.
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: How do we know?
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: Ye?
- 1:07:14Speaker 8: How do we not start the show with that?
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: You know?
- 1:07:18Speaker 8: They don't. They won't. They'll it'll be in the middle
- 1:07:20Speaker 8: of the show too.
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: They should good.
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: Just get the box out of the way.
- 1:07:27Speaker 7: Especially if it's that's where we find out that it's
- 1:07:29Speaker 7: a person, because it's probably with a box that big,
- 1:07:33Speaker 7: it's probably going to be a male superstar and it's
- 1:07:36Speaker 7: going to happen during the men's elimination chamber. Oh god,
- 1:07:42Speaker 7: I'm calling it. That's that's my official prediction.
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: The box.
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: And she's a seventh entry.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: Seventh eng No, well, pretty sure or that, Yeah, I
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: guess that could be in that case we get the
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: box at the beginning of the box.
- 1:08:00Speaker 4: Yeah, there's been a lot of dude wipes in that box.
- 1:08:07Speaker 8: You're not wrong, man.
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: Guys.
- 1:08:09Speaker 8: We only have four matches on the card. Thankfully t
- 1:08:14Speaker 8: were title matches and to her chamber matches, so I'm
- 1:08:19Speaker 8: good to see some titles on there. Uh. I'm assuming
- 1:08:24Speaker 8: what we're gonna get kicked off the show is most
- 1:08:26Speaker 8: likely the women's Uh. Actually, that's a very good question.
- 1:08:30Speaker 8: Do you guys think Punk gets main event in his
- 1:08:34Speaker 8: hometown or do you think he he doesn't The men's
- 1:08:39Speaker 8: chamber gets main event.
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: I mean, otherwise you gotta go.
- 1:08:46Speaker 10: Chamber matching, the Becky Matchma, that's then the film match
- 1:08:51Speaker 10: I don't know.
- 1:08:56Speaker 7: And AJ back to back chambers and then finished with
- 1:08:58Speaker 7: CM and Finn.
- 1:09:01Speaker 8: Hm hmm, I don't know.
- 1:09:03Speaker 7: It's a very bo with the book ended with the
- 1:09:06Speaker 7: Chicago couple.
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: You could go that route. But my thinking is that
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: the only way Punk and Finn balor main event this match,
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: main event this po is if something else is going
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: to happen, something's going to come into play. Not necessarisarily
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: that Punk is going to lose the match, but something
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: major has the factor into that match, and I don't.
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: Know, Well maybe that's maybe maybe. And then they opened
- 1:09:36Speaker 4: the creative dude life.
- 1:09:41Speaker 7: You are the only thing that would Yeah, I think
- 1:09:48Speaker 7: the only thing that would make sense. Yeah, exactly, That's
- 1:09:51Speaker 7: where I was going with it.
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: Yep, yep, but mhm, even romans, just romans just showing
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: up and interfering in the match. I don't know if
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: that's enough to warrant the main event spot, because it's
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: not like Roman's gonna cost Punk the title, because Roman's
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: already said.
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: No.
- 1:10:17Speaker 7: No, I was gonna say, to be honest, like the
- 1:10:18Speaker 7: name of the pay per view is Elimination Chamber, So
- 1:10:23Speaker 7: I don't know. Yeah, but yeah, no to what you
- 1:10:26Speaker 7: were getting ready to allude to is they don't.
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: Have Survivor Theories matches at the Survivor Theories anymore.
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: Yeah, right, that's why it has Colon war games. Now.
- 1:10:41Speaker 8: Well, either way, let's uh I guess let's just start off, well,
- 1:10:44Speaker 8: we'll say you men, ale or kicking off the show right.
- 1:10:50Speaker 8: Uh for the Women's Intercontinental title. Bet he Lynch somehow,
- 1:10:56Speaker 8: UH got a.
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: Shot.
- 1:11:00Speaker 8: A Jilly just you know, come comes back after being
- 1:11:03Speaker 8: missing for quite some time and just demands a title shot,
- 1:11:07Speaker 8: and Becky just caves in and gives it to her. Sure,
- 1:11:13Speaker 8: I personally think this. This feels wasted at Chamber. I
- 1:11:17Speaker 8: thought this would have been for sure WrestleMania match, but
- 1:11:21Speaker 8: then given about where it is and having her and
- 1:11:25Speaker 8: Punk on the same card, I totally I get it.
- 1:11:29Speaker 8: I'm all for it. I see them having at the
- 1:11:36Speaker 8: end of the night. AG. I think they want to
- 1:11:38Speaker 8: have a j and Punk hold up titles together in Chicago.
- 1:11:45Speaker 8: So I see a j Lee walking out with the
- 1:11:49Speaker 8: IC title and then we'll get Becky pursuing it again
- 1:11:54Speaker 8: towards WrestleMania. Uh, now she's in for the chase. Maybe
- 1:11:59Speaker 8: we'll involve somebody else in the IC title. But yeah,
- 1:12:04Speaker 8: I definitely see them wanting to put it on AJ
- 1:12:08Speaker 8: and keeping the title in Punk as well in Chicago. Drey,
- 1:12:12Speaker 8: do you agree? Do you disagree?
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: I agree somewhat. I do think that AJ is going
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: to win because it's in Chicago. But I'm going to
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: float the idea that I brought up in the discord
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: about a possible way that they get this match to
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: they somehow carry this over into wrestlemtics. I do think
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: that's gonna happen. I don't think that's completely written off.
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: They just have to find a way to get there.
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: So my thinking is Becky loses the master, technically losing
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: the IC title, but Becky Lynch refuses to admit defeat.
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: She refuses to actually give up the belt, like I
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: think she gets pinned or whatever, and she maybe AJ
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: gets maybe AJ gets her moment to hold up the
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: belt in front of Chicago crowd, whatever, and Becky Lynch
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: may just come up behind her and clock her or
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: something like that and then take the belt and walk off.
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: But I think it's gonna be some type of scenario
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: where a where Becky Lynch is lost but refuses to
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: concede the belt to AJ Lee I got it, I
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: got it, and she's she's gonna declare it being like
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: a fake finish or something like that. Because obviously we've
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: seen that Becky Lynch has been acting very Trumpian in
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: her character right now, and I think this would be
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: consistent with that is, you know, in the same sense
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: that people you know, like Trump never conceded that he
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: lost to Biden or whatever, like not conceding an election.
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: I could see Becky Lynch not conceding a title loss.
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: And then somehow that leads us to another AJ Becky
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: match with some sort of stipulation, maybe at a ladder
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: match or what have you, some sort of stipulation they
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: run it back at WrestleMania. Okay, all right, Tyler, you
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: had an idea.
- 1:14:31Speaker 7: Uh so, yeah, she's been alluding to this the whole time.
- 1:14:38Speaker 7: They've had brief interactions, and Becky has refuted up and
- 1:14:44Speaker 7: down that she has been treated unfairly by this person.
- 1:14:48Speaker 7: Her matches have been called unfairly by this person. And
- 1:14:51Speaker 7: the person I am referencing is Jessica the referee. If
- 1:14:55Speaker 7: she officiates the match between AJ and Becky, and AJ
- 1:15:01Speaker 7: wins that title, Jessica goes and gets the title to
- 1:15:04Speaker 7: go hand off to a J, and Becky stops her,
- 1:15:08Speaker 7: you know, turns around whatever.
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:15:10Speaker 7: There's some kind of an interaction there, and Becky takes
- 1:15:13Speaker 7: the title from her and just hauls ass and then
- 1:15:20Speaker 7: you know, into WrestleMania, being.
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: A part of this match is not being a factor.
- 1:15:26Speaker 4: I did need to think of that. Yeah, I think
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: John raised the situation where they both have their own doubt.
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they could do that.
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think I agree with everybody. I
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: think we're I think we're definitely getting this match again
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: at w Retlemania. That would be kind of crible, though
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: JJ wins the title here.
- 1:15:56Speaker 4: Oh sorry, live match. No.
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: I was thinking about the two but you when you
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: mentioned they can have their own belts. Thing like what
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: if aj Uh has the current inter Women's in a
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: Continental title and then Becky Lynch comes with a older version,
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: like she comes with the White Classic Intercontinental title or
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: the White Attitude a title belt. I don't know, I
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: just random thought.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's that's what the Son Razer
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: few was when they each had their own belt and
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: they put them both above the rings for.
- 1:16:29Speaker 4: A ladder match. It's kind of cool.
- 1:16:31Speaker 10: Yeah, I think we're definitely gonna They're just like a
- 1:16:35Speaker 10: card through through me for a loop a little bit,
- 1:16:37Speaker 10: because that makes so much sense, and I've kind of
- 1:16:40Speaker 10: been harping on that for a while, I didn't even
- 1:16:41Speaker 10: take over, But what I would have said otherwise is that, yeah,
- 1:16:47Speaker 10: I think they're gonna run this back of Usmania, and
- 1:16:49Speaker 10: I think that's where a j Lee is gonna win
- 1:16:50Speaker 10: the belt. I think she'll probably win by a d
- 1:16:53Speaker 10: Q or count out or you know, I could see
- 1:16:55Speaker 10: I definitely see Becky just taking the belt and doing
- 1:16:58Speaker 10: the old talking talk man like.
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: No, I'm just leaving, you know, because he is a chicken,
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: you know.
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: So yeah, so I think that that way you can
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: have a j Lee winning but still having reason to
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: have another match, because yeah, it doesn't make sense. This
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: seems like a WrestleMania match, not an elimination chamber match, right,
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: And I guess that's probably They're probably doing it because Chicago,
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: And if it wasn't, I don't know, East fumblefuck, maybe
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: things would be totally different.
- 1:17:30Speaker 4: But yeah, I think I think a j wins the
- 1:17:33Speaker 4: belt that may and that something happens necessitating in a
- 1:17:38Speaker 4: second match in this match, and I don't think the
- 1:17:40Speaker 4: title changes hands here.
- 1:17:44Speaker 7: If I could throw out an idea for the because
- 1:17:47Speaker 7: you had mentioned like the two belts, what if Becky
- 1:17:50Speaker 7: goes and steals a page out of CM Punk's playbook
- 1:17:55Speaker 7: when when he came back from injury and ae W
- 1:17:58Speaker 7: and he claimed that he was still the real champion
- 1:18:00Speaker 7: because he never lost his championship. So he took the
- 1:18:02Speaker 7: title out of the bag and he spray painted the
- 1:18:04Speaker 7: black X on it. If she does something like a
- 1:18:07Speaker 7: long Nose lines with a title of her own, oh.
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I could.
- 1:18:15Speaker 17: I could see them echoing that. But do they want
- 1:18:19Speaker 17: to do something that A W did. I don't know,
- 1:18:23Speaker 17: done that in w W E. Maybe they would run
- 1:18:26Speaker 17: that back I could see. No, I mean that's certainly
- 1:18:29Speaker 17: an interesting possibility.
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be interesting. Yeah, that's why I thought
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: about dusting off one of the older I SEE titles
- 1:18:38Speaker 3: Beculous Rockett.
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an idea. Yeah, but there is no old
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: There is no old women's I SEE title. But like,
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: well you just a classic, I thought you said, But
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: like the toy one, like that title.
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: The nineties icy title did have a white strap for
- 1:19:05Speaker 3: a while. So yeah, yeah, theoretically she could. They could
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: dust that one off and it would, you know, be
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: perceived as a women's icy title because it's the white strap.
- 1:19:17Speaker 7: Good point it.
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: Either way, I fucking I don't like a j much
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: more than I like her husband, and I don't like
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: her husband at all. I'm ready for this a j
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: Le run to be fucking over because I didn't miss
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: her a sick when she was gone, and I don't
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: need her back now.
- 1:19:37Speaker 4: I think there's so many fucking amazing women and a
- 1:19:41Speaker 4: Le ain't one of them.
- 1:19:42Speaker 7: Uh.
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: I think we could really be giving the spotlight to
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: somebody that's going to be around and ought to be
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: around other than AJ.
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: All right, well you're not wrong about that one.
- 1:19:53Speaker 4: Let's since I see we all apparently agree that.
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: This is going to continue to wrestle media.
- 1:19:59Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I think so.
- 1:20:01Speaker 8: Well for it.
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: That's a good car thing it makes. It's brilliant.
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: And uh, I still think there's gonna be a I
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a Becky Jessica car match at
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: some point.
- 1:20:12Speaker 8: Mm hmm.
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: Yeah, she's been doing all this training for something. There's
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: got to be a payoff at some point.
- 1:20:24Speaker 8: Uh, let's move on to the next match. Let's move
- 1:20:27Speaker 8: on to uh CM punk World Heavyweight Champion versus Finn
- 1:20:31Speaker 8: Balor Judgment Day. It seems like Finn Balor is finally
- 1:20:36Speaker 8: getting his shot at the world title and hopefully, uh,
- 1:20:41Speaker 8: he doesn't get any interference. I expect. I don't expect
- 1:20:47Speaker 8: J D McDonald to come out, but I expect Dirty
- 1:20:49Speaker 8: Dom to come out, take part and screwing this up
- 1:20:53Speaker 8: for him. Mm hmm, I see se him Punk definitely
- 1:21:01Speaker 8: walking out with the title. It'd be crazy to put
- 1:21:04Speaker 8: put it on Finn right now, considering how close we
- 1:21:07Speaker 8: are to WrestleMania. I do see Dirty Dom, like I said,
- 1:21:12Speaker 8: taking part in maybe the reason why Finn doesn't acquire
- 1:21:15Speaker 8: the world title, and that could lead to a finally
- 1:21:20Speaker 8: maybe icy title for for Finn Balor if he can't
- 1:21:23Speaker 8: get the world title, at least you can take it
- 1:21:25Speaker 8: the icy title away from Dirty Dom in WrestleMania, right.
- 1:21:29Speaker 8: I think that would be cool. But yeah, as much
- 1:21:35Speaker 8: as Finn is slowly starting to get over again and
- 1:21:38Speaker 8: and maybe get out of the the shadows of the
- 1:21:42Speaker 8: Judgment day, I don't think. I don't think it's his time.
- 1:21:46Speaker 8: I think he's gonna put on a great mass though,
- 1:21:48Speaker 8: but I don't think it's his time.
- 1:21:51Speaker 4: Uh, Dre, Yeah, you're right about that.
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: This is definitely gonna be a good match, but this
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: is also one of those I'm gonna call it a
- 1:22:03Speaker 3: bloodline style match where we know the title aine changing hands,
- 1:22:10Speaker 3: and all that really matters in this match is what
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: storyline elements are gonna come out from it in terms
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: of what happens after the match or something like that,
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: Like in the peak of Roman's reign where he was like.
- 1:22:21Speaker 4: Who's he facing? Okay, yeah, yeah he's gonna win.
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: But what happened? But how we move in this bloodline
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: storyline along? That's what really matters. And it's kind of
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: the same with this match, Like we know Finn Balad's
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: not winning this title, but the interest in it is
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: where does Finn go from here? Where does how does
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: this match move the storyline along between Finn Balor and
- 1:22:45Speaker 3: Judgment Day and you know, to touch back to the
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: blood line. Do we see Roman Reigns making appearance in
- 1:22:53Speaker 3: this match in anyway? Does he show up afterwards? Does
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: he show up and interfere in any way, shape or form?
- 1:22:58Speaker 4: I doubt it, but I.
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: Wouldn't completely rule it out. But again, the main element,
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: obviously Fennbaler is not going to win seeing Punk's walking
- 1:23:12Speaker 3: out to champion, but what happens afterwards? Does does the
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: Judgment Day come out and do they jump them or
- 1:23:20Speaker 3: beat his ass because they're disappointed in him for losing,
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: or does he just lose and he shakes seeing Punk's hand,
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: and then the next chapter comes on WRAW the next night,
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: where we get the fallout between him and Dom or whatever,
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: or does the fallout happen right after the match? Really
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: that that's where the interest is for me. So that's
- 1:23:44Speaker 3: we'll see what happens there. But like you said, Wayne,
- 1:23:46Speaker 3: the match itself is gonna be great. I'll be it predictable.
- 1:23:51Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, Trey, what are you thinking, buddy, Not Trey Doyle?
- 1:23:56Speaker 4: Sorry, be sure he just told us.
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: I mean, as much as I would fucking love Finn
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: to win, of course, it's gonna be phil. Uh.
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: I think I think Dom will most definitely get involved,
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: and I think that will probably set.
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: Up a Dom Finn WrestleMania match. Uh. And I think
- 1:24:21Speaker 4: Finn probably takes the title from him there and maybe
- 1:24:25Speaker 4: turnus face probably here face. I guess he's already leaning
- 1:24:29Speaker 4: that way anyway.
- 1:24:31Speaker 18: But the thing is, and I say that, but you
- 1:24:33Speaker 18: know how many times have we done this with the
- 1:24:35Speaker 18: judgment day? Oh, they're on the brinking collapse, on the
- 1:24:37Speaker 18: breaking collapse. We'll never break up. They've been around forever,
- 1:24:41Speaker 18: you know, uh.
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: So maybe not, but I.
- 1:24:45Speaker 4: Think I think for sure wins.
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: I don't think there's any universe unfortunately where Finn does.
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean again, like I thought about the well,
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: I don't remember I said about something. It was happening
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: over the summer and not right before WrestleMania. It might
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: be a totally different story, but it's happening right before WrestleMania.
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: And I don't think they're gonna fuck with Punk and Roman. Yeah,
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: I could definitely see Roman getting involved too. That would
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: be interesting seeing him trying to help still retain, you know,
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: because he's because he you know, wants the championship match,
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: so that like to kind of interest think kind of
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: like the lead up to WrestleMania thirteen. I think it
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: was when Brett and sid had a cage match on
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: Row for the title and they were Sid was going
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: to face take Her, Brett was going to face Austin,
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: and Austin was trying to help Brett Hart win because
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: he wanted Brett Hart to be champion for their match,
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: and Taker was trying to help Sid win if he
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: wanted Siddey championship, wanted the championship for WrestleMania and ultimately
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: Sid won. So I think we maybe see a situation
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: like that where Romans helping Phil because he wants him
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: to keep the title, because he wants him to be
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: in the title match. But yeah, I don't think there's
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: much doubt that Phil is gonna win this and retain
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: the title.
- 1:26:15Speaker 8: Mm hmm okay, silent.
- 1:26:21Speaker 7: Yes, sir, I I'm gonna be on par with everybody here,
- 1:26:33Speaker 7: you know, Seampung wins it.
- 1:26:35Speaker 15: Uh.
- 1:26:36Speaker 7: I think the wrinkle that I want to throw in
- 1:26:38Speaker 7: there because I see it as a more more of
- 1:26:42Speaker 7: a little more possibility than some might realize, is, yes,
- 1:26:48Speaker 7: Dominic Masterio comes out to try and help Finn or
- 1:26:52Speaker 7: who knows, maybe he's trying to like underhand him, but yeah,
- 1:26:58Speaker 7: because right, but because Finn one on one with JD.
- 1:27:06Speaker 7: JD was the one that he told don't interfere, you know.
- 1:27:10Speaker 7: So I see Dom coming out anyway to try and
- 1:27:14Speaker 7: whether it's to help or to hurt, I don't who knows.
- 1:27:18Speaker 7: But then I see JD coming out to try and
- 1:27:20Speaker 7: stop Dom and then he's the one that ultimately ends up,
- 1:27:24Speaker 7: you know, costing Finn the title. I see that as
- 1:27:29Speaker 7: a possibility maybe as a result of both of them
- 1:27:32Speaker 7: being out there. That's when Roman makes his entrance and
- 1:27:36Speaker 7: you know, uh puts everybody to sleep or spear somebody
- 1:27:40Speaker 7: through a barrier again because that seems to be the
- 1:27:43Speaker 7: usual thing for him now, uh, you know. And then
- 1:27:49Speaker 7: pretty much after all the dust settles Cempunk's hold in
- 1:27:52Speaker 7: the title, and then we're off to wrestle Mania for
- 1:27:57Speaker 7: cm Punk and Roman reigns.
- 1:28:02Speaker 8: Hell yeah, man, hell yeah, I like these answers. All right,
- 1:28:12Speaker 8: let's move on to the I'm trying to figure out
- 1:28:15Speaker 8: what you want to wrap up with the women's elimination
- 1:28:19Speaker 8: chamber for the Women's Championship match at WrestleMania forty two.
- 1:28:24Speaker 8: We found out this week during a very dead boring
- 1:28:30Speaker 8: segment live picking her opponent for Wrestlemaniah Stephanie for care.
- 1:28:36Speaker 8: So you know, that left Jade wide open.
- 1:28:39Speaker 4: But did check her? She just punster her. She didn't
- 1:28:42Speaker 4: really like, did she though?
- 1:28:46Speaker 8: I guess isn't that how you Isn't that how you
- 1:28:49Speaker 8: pick your WrestleMania opponent? Don't you knock him the hell out?
- 1:28:53Speaker 8: Isn't that what you do?
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: You know? I mean, I'm just I'm just I'm merely
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: trying to point out the semantic argument that she never
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: really did say I picked you.
- 1:29:05Speaker 4: She just punched it. Mm hmm, that's all. And I
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: think you'll find out why I've said that in a.
- 1:29:10Speaker 8: Minute after she kissed her ass. Yeah. Yeah, uh this
- 1:29:17Speaker 8: match dis Elimination.
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: Chamber safely sold the ship out of that punch. Yes,
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
- 1:29:28Speaker 8: This match consists of Raquel Rodriguez, Keanna James, Oscar, Alexa Bliss,
- 1:29:35Speaker 8: Ria Ripley, and Tiffany Stratton. Who uh you know what?
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: Uh uh?
- 1:29:46Speaker 8: I really was uh surprised about certain people in this match.
- 1:29:52Speaker 8: I thought for sure we were gonna get Charlotte or
- 1:29:54Speaker 8: at least Naya. Didn't get either of them. We got
- 1:29:57Speaker 8: Kiana James instead. I thought, you know, maybe they were
- 1:30:02Speaker 8: gonna pit some tag teams together, maybe they were gonna
- 1:30:06Speaker 8: put EO in this as well. They I thought having
- 1:30:10Speaker 8: EO instead of Raquel would have been better having Charlotte
- 1:30:14Speaker 8: instead of Keana than you would have had you know,
- 1:30:16Speaker 8: these other tag teams that are in there. I thought
- 1:30:19Speaker 8: that would have been controversial. But you know, we got
- 1:30:24Speaker 8: we got Tiffany Stratton in here.
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:30:32Speaker 8: I would love for it to be Ria. I would
- 1:30:35Speaker 8: much rather see Ria versus Jake Cargo. That that that
- 1:30:39Speaker 8: piqued my interest a little bit more than seeing a
- 1:30:43Speaker 8: repeat of Tiffany Stratton versus Jade, and I feel like
- 1:30:48Speaker 8: that's where they're heading. I feel like we're getting a
- 1:30:54Speaker 8: running it back. I feel like they did tease a
- 1:30:59Speaker 8: little bit of Rea and Jane, and I just don't
- 1:31:04Speaker 8: know how you get this is. I guess how you
- 1:31:07Speaker 8: get her out of the tag team title, if so,
- 1:31:09Speaker 8: out of the tag team division. If so, the pull
- 1:31:12Speaker 8: her back to the main event scene, which is kind
- 1:31:15Speaker 8: of where we wanted her to be for a while.
- 1:31:21Speaker 8: But I see no rhyme or reason to give it
- 1:31:24Speaker 8: to Keana or Alexo or even Oscar and Raquel just
- 1:31:31Speaker 8: had a title shot and she just lost. So the
- 1:31:35Speaker 8: only two logical women are a Ria and Tiffany, and
- 1:31:39Speaker 8: I think they're just gonna endup coin tringing it back
- 1:31:43Speaker 8: because to be honest, Jay's title run thus far has
- 1:31:47Speaker 8: been one hundred plus days with only one defense, so
- 1:31:51Speaker 8: it's been pretty black luster.
- 1:31:55Speaker 16: Dre.
- 1:31:56Speaker 8: Let's hear your opinion twenty times.
- 1:31:59Speaker 3: Is Dom defending his see title? Everybody want to talk
- 1:32:03Speaker 3: about that.
- 1:32:05Speaker 8: We're not talking to.
- 1:32:12Speaker 3: Everybody want to come from Jabe, don't want to talk
- 1:32:14Speaker 3: about now these other folks not defending their dad go Bell.
- 1:32:16Speaker 3: I'm joking. But as far as the match, the only
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: argument to me for Tiffany Stratton winning this excuse me
- 1:32:30Speaker 3: is the fact that she is the only person in
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: this match not tied to Attack Team. H Ria has
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: got Eo, Alexa, has Charlotte, oscar Is Kyrie, Keana, Julia,
- 1:32:42Speaker 3: and Raquel you could say has Roxanne, but obviously Roxanne's
- 1:32:47Speaker 3: out with an injury right now, so that does kind
- 1:32:50Speaker 3: of leave her in a singles position right now. There
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: could be some intrigue and two members of the Judgment
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: Day both challenging for the titles Raquel challenging Jade Ti
- 1:33:04Speaker 3: and uh Live challenging Stephanie Vecer be some intrigue there
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: for some interesting dynamics and maybe not necessarily going up
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: to WrestleMania, although could even know. If they both decide to,
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: you know, work together to weaken their opponents, it could
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: make for an interesting and compelling build and also what
- 1:33:30Speaker 3: happens afterwards if one wins and one doesn't.
- 1:33:35Speaker 8: Like.
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: Suppose they decide to shock us and say, Raquel beats
- 1:33:40Speaker 3: Jade car Cargill for the WWE Championship, but Live comes
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: up short for the World Heavyweight Championship, and now Raquel's
- 1:33:49Speaker 3: the champion, is the women's champion in the judgment day
- 1:33:51Speaker 3: and Live is not. So I mean, if it was
- 1:33:55Speaker 3: just for pure interest in storytelling, Raquel to me is
- 1:34:00Speaker 3: the best option to come out of this match as
- 1:34:03Speaker 3: the winner from a storytelling standpoint. From a box office standpoint,
- 1:34:08Speaker 3: the obvious choice is Real Ripley, and their reasoning for
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: Real Ripley is because we ain't got Bianca and they
- 1:34:18Speaker 3: need somebody who can measure up to Jay Cargill as
- 1:34:22Speaker 3: far as stature and a match and obviously sell tickets.
- 1:34:27Speaker 4: Even though Ria is not as jack as.
- 1:34:30Speaker 3: She used to be, so she kind of looks kind
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: of small standing next to Jade right now with Jay
- 1:34:34Speaker 3: with all the muscles and Ridge's tall girl.
- 1:34:40Speaker 7: Yeah slim down a lot.
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: Yeah again, Yes, he slimmed down a lot. Like one
- 1:34:49Speaker 3: podcast with that I listened to a lot. Formerly worked
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: at ESPN, but Bomani Jones, he talks about NBA centers
- 1:34:57Speaker 3: in two different ways. He says, there's tall man and
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: there's big man, and just because you can be like
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: he said, you can be six ten and such and such,
- 1:35:06Speaker 3: but that don't necessarily mean that you're a big man.
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: You could just be tall man. And basically it's stuff
- 1:35:15Speaker 3: and what. Yeah, like.
- 1:35:20Speaker 4: Ridiculous you call him big.
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: He wasn't a big man weigh Yeah, But like I said,
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: Momoni perserades as a certain type of mentality and such as,
- 1:35:33Speaker 3: like you know, he calls Carl Anthony township place for
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: the knicks. He says he's tall man, he ain't big man.
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: And you know, but either way, I digress. Ria Ripley
- 1:35:45Speaker 3: right now is kind of more of a tall girl
- 1:35:48Speaker 3: than big girl. She still gets those power moves and
- 1:35:51Speaker 3: stuff off. She also kind of looks like she struggles
- 1:35:54Speaker 3: with him a little bit more than she used to.
- 1:35:56Speaker 3: But obviously they still portray her as being the strong
- 1:36:01Speaker 3: person because that's what she's built up. But you stand
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: her next to Jay Cargill, one of these is not
- 1:36:08Speaker 3: like the other. It's not quite as a visually equal
- 1:36:14Speaker 3: matchup as it once could have appeared to be. Nevertheless,
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: I do think they are probably going to go with
- 1:36:23Speaker 3: Ria versus Jade at WrestleMania because they need to sell
- 1:36:28Speaker 3: tickets they need the box office and Bianca is not available,
- 1:36:33Speaker 3: so I think they're going to play it safe, and
- 1:36:36Speaker 3: the safe option is Ria, even though I think the
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: more compelling option would be Raquel, which means that probably
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: this Friday on SmackDown, EO and Ria are going to
- 1:36:48Speaker 3: drop the titles to Nash Nash Wow, to Lash Legend
- 1:36:53Speaker 3: and the Naya Jacks.
- 1:37:00Speaker 8: All right, Doyle, that's two yours.
- 1:37:06Speaker 19: I have very similar thinking, specifically because most of the
- 1:37:12Speaker 19: people in this match are attached to a tag team,
- 1:37:15Speaker 19: and I still think that they're going to have a
- 1:37:16Speaker 19: big multi team tag match, possibly ladder match, possibly TLC
- 1:37:22Speaker 19: something at WrestleMania.
- 1:37:24Speaker 4: Uh, which kind of takes.
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: And you're right, Ria, Ria Jaane is box Office WI
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: is probably the biggest match here. But that takes Ria,
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: Oscar Alexa and to maybe lesser extent, Kean off the board.
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: I it takes me makes some sense. Uh, But I
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: just like, does anybody want to see it? I'm tind
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: to feel like the answer is no. So yeah, I
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: A So I think I'm gonna pick Rotch Power as well, however,
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I do want to.
- 1:38:00Speaker 4: Live in Roquel. Both going for Championship in the WrestleMania.
- 1:38:02Speaker 4: It is intriguing.
- 1:38:04Speaker 1: But I brought up did Live really pick Stephanie because
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: is there any way that And I think I pitched
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: this about it the men's match maybe months ago. I
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: would love it if the.
- 1:38:18Speaker 10: Rumble winner and the Elimination Chamber winner both pick the
- 1:38:20Speaker 10: same person and you get a triple threat somehow, And
- 1:38:25Speaker 10: I think that might be a fun tower dynamic. Also, uh,
- 1:38:29Speaker 10: maybe even a Batista turns an evolution kind of moment,
- 1:38:35Speaker 10: you know, where you know, maybe different days in the ring,
- 1:38:38Speaker 10: and you know, Live expects Raquel to pick uh Jade
- 1:38:44Speaker 10: and she really ends up picking Stephanie Bevelkraw also uh, And.
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: Then I don't know, I don't know where that leaves
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: you with the Jade match. I think you could do
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: anything real, you know, you could do a four woman,
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: a four weight match, you could do some kind of
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: uh battle royal And it's any number of ways to
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: find Jade an opponent for WrestleMania.
- 1:39:02Speaker 10: But I think a three way with Stephanie velociraptor Live
- 1:39:08Speaker 10: and Ria, where like it's a Judgment Day Implodes kind
- 1:39:11Speaker 10: of deal might be fun also, uh or I.
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: Mean, but also like Drey said, having them both in
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: titled matches and the jealousy there, and you know, maybe
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: if Raquel wins and Live doesn't, uh, there might be
- 1:39:25Speaker 1: some fun to have there.
- 1:39:28Speaker 4: I didn't think anybody else pick but take Lew. I've
- 1:39:34Speaker 4: been a band of hers for a while.
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: I'm glad that she finally stopped doing that stupid back
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: flex thing.
- 1:39:41Speaker 10: And she's finally you know, I think Kevin Nath picking
- 1:39:44Speaker 10: the Nass told her to wrestle bigger or something.
- 1:39:47Speaker 4: And she really took that to heart and she's been
- 1:39:50Speaker 4: doing it.
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: And I'm She's one of the girls I've been a
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: fan of for a while and I'm glad to see
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: her doing well finally, finally, hopefully in a chance up
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: at the top.
- 1:40:01Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:40:04Speaker 10: Yes, I guess ultimately whus she ends up going with
- 1:40:07Speaker 10: a wrestlemandium maybe maybe not as locked in stone as
- 1:40:12Speaker 10: as something may think, but I do. I'm gonna pick Roquel,
- 1:40:16Speaker 10: and it's kind of a I think everybody else is
- 1:40:18Speaker 10: gonna have something else to do with Repromania. And you
- 1:40:20Speaker 10: get all these great women, now you gotta put them
- 1:40:22Speaker 10: in matches, right, and you can't run Recromania Night one
- 1:40:26Speaker 10: feature eight all women, you know, so I think you've
- 1:40:30Speaker 10: gotta find a way to get a ton of those
- 1:40:32Speaker 10: tag teams in a match.
- 1:40:34Speaker 8: Uh.
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: And that kind of leaves Rotel I think even realize
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: Rocksho was hurt, and I think that actually makes my
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: my pick even more. I feel even more confident in
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: my pick with that knowledge. Yeah, I wanna also pick Raquel.
- 1:40:54Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, excuse me that kind of thing. Okay, yeah, yeah,
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: rock sand right, Roxanne being out again.
- 1:41:07Speaker 4: She's not injured, but she had a medical procedure, didn't she. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
- 1:41:18Speaker 4: she's like a benign or something something that you have
- 1:41:23Speaker 4: removed from her back. And I remember reading that.
- 1:41:28Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, just that being said, technically I did.
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: I'm picking Rhea, although I would prefer Roxanne winning. I
- 1:41:37Speaker 3: think she's the more compelling option. But if I'm putting
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: money down, I'm putting money on Riha. But to your
- 1:41:43Speaker 3: point about uh, live in Rock Sanne, I mean live
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: in Raquel challenging the same person. I don't think that's
- 1:41:52Speaker 3: going to happen. Because I'm on w w e's website
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: right now and on their WrestleMania page. They do have
- 1:41:58Speaker 3: it up here as Women's World Champion Stephanie Vicera to
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: defend against Live Morgan at WrestleMania forty two. So it
- 1:42:04Speaker 3: seems like that matches pretty set based off what happened
- 1:42:08Speaker 3: on Raw Monday. Even with it, even if she didn't
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: put words to it, she did put a micro.
- 1:42:18Speaker 4: Also, yeah, yeah, you're right, right, right, true, true, yeah.
- 1:42:33Speaker 3: And I'm somebody I don't know either heard it or
- 1:42:36Speaker 3: read it somewhere, but somebody had mentioned about Raquel Rodriguez
- 1:42:42Speaker 3: and Live Morgan having a Diesel Shawn Michael's type of
- 1:42:46Speaker 3: dynamic with each other, especially with Raquel going by you know,
- 1:42:52Speaker 3: obviously big sexy right now, which is, you know, shades
- 1:42:55Speaker 3: of Kevin Nash. I could see something like that happening,
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: especially if you know it plays out where Raquel walks
- 1:43:04Speaker 3: out of WrestleMania w W Women's Champion and Live comes
- 1:43:07Speaker 3: up short, leading to Live being jealous, you know, turning
- 1:43:12Speaker 3: on Raquel. That could be a way to get Raquel
- 1:43:16Speaker 3: as a babyface and Raquel being lives for or Live
- 1:43:22Speaker 3: being Raquel's first challenger as champion, and then you know,
- 1:43:29Speaker 3: then we get that Raquel versus Live match, and they
- 1:43:33Speaker 3: could almost play that out, just like Sean versus Diesel.
- 1:43:37Speaker 3: I mean, hell, they put them from the ring and
- 1:43:38Speaker 3: let them let the practice that opening sequence that Shawn
- 1:43:41Speaker 3: and Diesel had been just do it move or move?
- 1:43:49Speaker 8: M Tyler, let's get your opinion on this.
- 1:43:55Speaker 7: Yes, well, first my heart goes to Alexa Bliss, like
- 1:44:06Speaker 7: that's who you know. I just head over heels for Lexibliss.
- 1:44:11Speaker 7: So obviously I wouldn't want to see her win. Realistically,
- 1:44:16Speaker 7: I know that's not in the cards from any any
- 1:44:19Speaker 7: type of storytelling standpoint possible. It just doesn't make sense,
- 1:44:24Speaker 7: you know, unless you are, like Forcibly, trying to make
- 1:44:28Speaker 7: her at the top again, you know, and just throwing
- 1:44:32Speaker 7: at everybody whether they want it or not. I don't
- 1:44:34Speaker 7: see it happening. I think she's content with where she's at,
- 1:44:39Speaker 7: even if she's not getting a lot of what she
- 1:44:42Speaker 7: came out for her qualifying imagine didn't really get a pop,
- 1:44:46Speaker 7: which I was kind of disappointed to hear. I digress.
- 1:44:51Speaker 7: I think there's a possibility for further storytelling as far
- 1:44:58Speaker 7: as Ripley goes if she wins, because I and and
- 1:45:03Speaker 7: I'm not not just with the championship with Jade, but
- 1:45:07Speaker 7: with EO. Because if they're like the last two and
- 1:45:11Speaker 7: they're duking it out. You know, obviously, if at some
- 1:45:14Speaker 7: point they lose the championships, well then they don't have
- 1:45:17Speaker 7: anything tying them together anymore. Eo feels some type of
- 1:45:20Speaker 7: way about Riha eliminating her, so you know, it becomes like, uh,
- 1:45:27Speaker 7: you know, Ria has if if Riea goes and wins
- 1:45:29Speaker 7: the title, then she has to fight off Jade because
- 1:45:32Speaker 7: Jae's probably gonna want her title back. But then she
- 1:45:34Speaker 7: also has to fight off e because Eo, because you
- 1:45:37Speaker 7: know they were friends. But you know, Rhea stabbed her
- 1:45:40Speaker 7: in the back and defeated her to get that opportunity
- 1:45:43Speaker 7: in the first place. So I could see the potential
- 1:45:47Speaker 7: for that sort of a storyline maybe playing out down
- 1:45:49Speaker 7: the road. I'm sick and tired of Tiffy time. I'm
- 1:45:54Speaker 7: ready for it to be up, the clocks run out,
- 1:45:57Speaker 7: you know, just over it. She had her chance at
- 1:46:03Speaker 7: her run, and I think it was dismal. You know,
- 1:46:08Speaker 7: we've we've talked about it before. How many matches has
- 1:46:11Speaker 7: she like gotten the absolute you know, dog crap kicked
- 1:46:15Speaker 7: out of her for most of the matches, and then
- 1:46:18Speaker 7: like she just hits like one or two hail Mary's
- 1:46:19Speaker 7: and boom, she's the champ.
- 1:46:21Speaker 3: I don't.
- 1:46:21Speaker 7: I don't if that's in store for another title reign,
- 1:46:25Speaker 7: I'm good. And then nobody else is in the match
- 1:46:31Speaker 7: really big enough to handle the weight of the title,
- 1:46:35Speaker 7: you know, even if there was some kind of a
- 1:46:37Speaker 7: way to make it make sense, Uh, there's nobody else
- 1:46:40Speaker 7: that's capable of, you know, handling the weight of the
- 1:46:43Speaker 7: title run. So it's either Alexa, whether everybody wants it
- 1:46:48Speaker 7: or not EO maybe as a different title run instead
- 1:46:54Speaker 7: of the World Champion.
- 1:46:55Speaker 4: Did she have the World champion Championship?
- 1:46:59Speaker 14: Yea?
- 1:46:59Speaker 3: Or she the EO is actually the only women, only
- 1:47:05Speaker 3: woman on the roster to have held both the current
- 1:47:09Speaker 3: w W Women's Championship and Women's World Championship.
- 1:47:15Speaker 7: Okay, so then I mean, yeah, there you go, like
- 1:47:18Speaker 7: that's it's a perfect opportunity to try and get her
- 1:47:22Speaker 7: back in the picture again. But ria Is is who
- 1:47:29Speaker 7: I'm picking to win it. Like I said, my heart
- 1:47:32Speaker 7: is once Alexa to win. But I know that's not Uh,
- 1:47:37Speaker 7: it doesn't make sense right now. There's no way for
- 1:47:40Speaker 7: that to be feasible. So I'm gonna stick with.
- 1:47:42Speaker 3: Rhea, Okay, Bud, Yeah, ria Is probably the safest bet.
- 1:47:52Speaker 4: Yeah, a hell of an underdog.
- 1:47:56Speaker 3: I mean, if they if they wanted to go the
- 1:48:00Speaker 3: I could see either trying something like Alexa winning. Is
- 1:48:04Speaker 3: if they plan on switching Charlotte back to heel and
- 1:48:08Speaker 3: breaking up Charlotte and Alexa as a team, which I
- 1:48:12Speaker 3: personally don't want that to happen. I think they're I
- 1:48:15Speaker 3: think they're still working really good right now, and I'm
- 1:48:17Speaker 3: not I'm in no rush to see them break up.
- 1:48:21Speaker 7: I think they kind of sort of planted even though
- 1:48:23Speaker 7: it was from all the reports I read a botch
- 1:48:27Speaker 7: at Royal rumble like the siege were kind of planned
- 1:48:31Speaker 7: for it. You know Valentine's Day, that that SmackDown, and
- 1:48:35Speaker 7: you know Alexa being very cross with with Charlotte.
- 1:48:43Speaker 4: Maybe, I mean it's coming. I mean it's definitely definitely
- 1:48:50Speaker 4: to break up at some point. It's coming.
- 1:48:52Speaker 10: It's just that's that's probably the biggest match they have
- 1:48:55Speaker 10: to be right now, to be honest with right, Yeah.
- 1:49:02Speaker 3: They've just given it to us too many times, so
- 1:49:04Speaker 3: they we we need a break from it for a while. Yeah,
- 1:49:11Speaker 3: I mean we've had that match what three times last year,
- 1:49:16Speaker 3: if not more.
- 1:49:16Speaker 4: I'm not saying we need it tomorrow, but we're going
- 1:49:19Speaker 4: to get it.
- 1:49:21Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:49:22Speaker 4: I mean he's going to have to beat her at
- 1:49:24Speaker 4: some point.
- 1:49:27Speaker 8: Okay, is that down now? The way? Main event the
- 1:49:37Speaker 8: Elimination Chamber match for the w W Undisputed Championship match
- 1:49:42Speaker 8: at Wrestleman forty two. This had qualified matches to get in.
- 1:49:49Speaker 8: We have Randy Orton versus l A. Knight versus Cody
- 1:49:54Speaker 8: Rhodes versus Travan Evans versus Trick Williams versus Jay Usso
- 1:50:05Speaker 8: I think some pretty a pretty obvious match, you know,
- 1:50:14Speaker 8: we I unless it wasn't Unless it isn't. I mean,
- 1:50:19Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be Cody. I mean, isn't. Isn't
- 1:50:22Speaker 8: it obvious? Isn't It's just fucking obvious. All this is
- 1:50:25Speaker 8: for Cody. As much as I would love to see
- 1:50:29Speaker 8: l A. Knight go to WrestleMania for for a title,
- 1:50:32Speaker 8: as much as I would love to see you know,
- 1:50:34Speaker 8: Orton go for another world title, I just.
- 1:50:43Speaker 4: The problem is, but I talked myself into something else.
- 1:50:49Speaker 8: I I agree nobody wants to see Cody versus Drew again,
- 1:50:53Speaker 8: but I think they're gonna I feel like they're gonna
- 1:50:55Speaker 8: add people into that match later, I, you know, making
- 1:51:01Speaker 8: this whole thing fucking pointless. But you know it's it's
- 1:51:06Speaker 8: Cody got it fair and square, right, But I'm sure
- 1:51:11Speaker 8: we're gonna be disappointed. Sure, Uh, I mean, do you
- 1:51:19Speaker 8: agree with that?
- 1:51:21Speaker 3: I feel like that's that's gonna be Cody based upon
- 1:51:27Speaker 3: who's in there. Cody seems like the safe bet. But
- 1:51:31Speaker 3: one I feel like that Chicago crowd is gonna boo
- 1:51:34Speaker 3: a living fuck out of Cody if he wins this match.
- 1:51:38Speaker 3: And I don't know if they want to go off
- 1:51:39Speaker 3: the air with that type of ending because Chicago the crowd,
- 1:51:46Speaker 3: Chicago crowd likes to consider themselves, you know, the smarks,
- 1:51:52Speaker 3: like the smart guy, so you know they voiced the
- 1:51:55Speaker 3: internet or whatever. So I don't know that they want
- 1:52:01Speaker 3: again to end the show with Cody's hand raised going
- 1:52:07Speaker 3: on to face Drew McIntyre and the crowd just absolutely
- 1:52:11Speaker 3: shitting on it. The one way to get around that
- 1:52:17Speaker 3: is if this match is not the main event. Yeah,
- 1:52:21Speaker 3: now the match is not the main event, then maybe
- 1:52:24Speaker 3: they can do that because they know we're about to
- 1:52:26Speaker 3: get seeing punk afterwards in this world title match. That's
- 1:52:31Speaker 3: one way they could play it. Honestly, nobody else seems like,
- 1:52:39Speaker 3: I mean, it may be raised out of nowhere. La
- 1:52:48Speaker 3: Knight would obviously be the crowd favorite, but he has
- 1:52:52Speaker 3: nothing to do with anything in regarding Drew McIntyre right now,
- 1:52:55Speaker 3: so that would be kind of out of left field.
- 1:52:58Speaker 3: Javon too soon, Trick Hit the hottest thing going right now,
- 1:53:03Speaker 3: but probably also too soon. Jay Hayin'. He's supposed to
- 1:53:06Speaker 3: be in this damn match in the first place, so
- 1:53:08Speaker 3: he just here. So it's hard to pick because the
- 1:53:17Speaker 3: safest option also seems like the worst option. But to
- 1:53:25Speaker 3: advance the story, to get to a multiman match that
- 1:53:32Speaker 3: we're all expecting to happen somehow, Cody. This is Cody's
- 1:53:38Speaker 3: way in, and the real mystery is how the fuck
- 1:53:41Speaker 3: do you get everybody else in the match afterwards? So
- 1:53:45Speaker 3: I'm gonna be grudgingly say that Cody wins this match.
- 1:53:50Speaker 3: And again I say that, but grudgingly, just because I
- 1:53:52Speaker 3: just don't see an option for anybody else except for
- 1:53:56Speaker 3: maybe Randy Orton.
- 1:54:01Speaker 8: Agreed, Uh, Doyle, let's hear your opinion, Bud.
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: I think the assessment that Jay Von and Trick or
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: it's too soon and Jay wasn't even sposed to be there,
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: is correct. Uh So I would just take the three
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: of them off the board immediately. Although I do think
- 1:54:23Speaker 1: Kevon Evans is going to do something that is going
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: to be shown for the time in memorial.
- 1:54:29Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: Right, exactly, something crazy like you know, one of those
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: one of those in the intro in the then now forever,
- 1:54:43Speaker 1: you know, one of those kind of clips, like like
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: a forever clift.
- 1:54:48Speaker 8: Uh.
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: I expect hopefully to see something like that, and like
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: I said, hopefully he connects on it. Hopefully he connects
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: on it. I agree that Cody is definitely the safe bet,
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: but yeah, does anybody really want to see that? I
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: didn't even thought about the fact that Chicago will be
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: the fuck.
- 1:55:05Speaker 3: Out of that.
- 1:55:06Speaker 4: Uh So that's maybe something to consider.
- 1:55:09Speaker 16: Uh.
- 1:55:10Speaker 1: I think Jacob Fatou is gonna have something to say
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: about this, whether he interferes in the match somehow or
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: does something after the match somehow or something. Yeah, I mean,
- 1:55:24Speaker 1: storyline wise, I think I think Cody drew Jacob Flattou three.
- 1:55:29Speaker 4: Way makes the most sense, right, It's just how do
- 1:55:32Speaker 4: you get there?
- 1:55:34Speaker 20: I don't know, Maybe Jacob fat Cody the match somehow
- 1:55:39Speaker 20: and then those two have a reprimandium match, which frees
- 1:55:43Speaker 20: it up for La Nite or Randy Uh to be.
- 1:55:47Speaker 4: The drew match of Rethlemania.
- 1:55:51Speaker 10: And I kind of think and the same reason I
- 1:55:54Speaker 10: picked Raquel, because I don't think that Joe Blow at
- 1:55:56Speaker 10: Home is gonna pick Raquel is going to be surprised that.
- 1:56:01Speaker 10: You know, I think they're I think they're hearing a
- 1:56:04Speaker 10: lot of the criticism, uh, you know, the predictability, the
- 1:56:08Speaker 10: lack of interesting finishes, et cetera. And I think they're
- 1:56:13Speaker 10: maybe gonna throw us a throw us for a loop
- 1:56:15Speaker 10: here a little bit, so I could definitely see uh.
- 1:56:20Speaker 10: And I think the crowd will go crazy. They might
- 1:56:22Speaker 10: they may be striking after the iron has started to
- 1:56:25Speaker 10: cool off a little bit.
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: But I could definitely see the lot of Night winning this.
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: I think the people want, uh. You know, I don't
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: know if it's the best for the box office.
- 1:56:36Speaker 8: Uh.
- 1:56:36Speaker 4: And that gives me a little pause with the with
- 1:56:39Speaker 4: the ticket situation, you.
- 1:56:40Speaker 1: Know, do they take a chance on on finally uh
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: putting l A Knight in the mass of this uh magnitude,
- 1:56:49Speaker 1: if you will.
- 1:56:52Speaker 4: I definitely don't want through to lose. I think he's spectacular,
- 1:56:57Speaker 4: but does he really need it. I don't know.
- 1:57:00Speaker 20: Uh, maybe Jacob hot to cost Cody.
- 1:57:05Speaker 1: And it leads to Randy winning and you get a
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: four way with Randy, Cody, Jacob, and Drew something like that.
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: But I think Jacoby is gonna have something to do
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: with this. Uh So I think I think, yeah, Cody
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: is the safe chalk pick, but I'll go with la Night.
- 1:57:21Speaker 1: It's like a dark choy. And I don't think he
- 1:57:24Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think he's as discountable as
- 1:57:28Speaker 1: I think a lot of people probably think he is.
- 1:57:30Speaker 1: I think there's a real chance he's gonna win it,
- 1:57:33Speaker 1: but it's probably gonna be Cody, because.
- 1:57:37Speaker 8: Tyler, do you think it's that predictable as much as
- 1:57:40Speaker 8: we do think?
- 1:57:45Speaker 7: Uh? Oh, Actually, you play my man's music every time
- 1:57:51Speaker 7: he introduced me, I'm gonna ride with Randy Orton on.
- 1:57:54Speaker 7: They've been planning seeds with Drew and Randy for how
- 1:57:58Speaker 7: long now? And what better time to capitalize on that
- 1:58:03Speaker 7: than here and now? He wins the elimination chamber and
- 1:58:08Speaker 7: goes on to face Drew McIntyre. Now, I will I
- 1:58:13Speaker 7: will concede that it will be.
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: I.
- 1:58:19Speaker 7: I Yeah, it wouldn't, It would be nice to see
- 1:58:21Speaker 7: him get the title, but I do not think it'll
- 1:58:25Speaker 7: be a one on one. I do think that Cody
- 1:58:30Speaker 7: Roads will somehow find a way to finagle his ass
- 1:58:33Speaker 7: in there, like he always does. I can see, I
- 1:58:36Speaker 7: could possibly see. I know they've done it in the past.
- 1:58:38Speaker 7: I could see all this putting Cody Roads like, Hey,
- 1:58:42Speaker 7: you want to be in the main event, then you
- 1:58:45Speaker 7: got to beat one of the guys. Guy, so it's
- 1:58:47Speaker 7: going to be you versus Randy Orton. If you beat Randy,
- 1:58:50Speaker 7: then you're in the match and is a triple threat.
- 1:58:53Speaker 8: You know.
- 1:58:55Speaker 7: If the Jacob fad Too is the wild card, because
- 1:59:00Speaker 7: you know they could just as usually do the same
- 1:59:01Speaker 7: thing with him against Drew, and if he beats Drew, hey,
- 1:59:05Speaker 7: then you have a fatal four way. But I do
- 1:59:09Speaker 7: see it more than likely becoming a triple threat at
- 1:59:12Speaker 7: the very least Randy Orton, Cody Rhoads, True McIntyre, and
- 1:59:18Speaker 7: then maybe maybe fa Too makes his presence felt at WrestleMania.
- 1:59:24Speaker 7: I know he doesn't really have a gripe with Randy Orton,
- 1:59:27Speaker 7: so I see him, you know, going after Drew and
- 1:59:31Speaker 7: Cody costing them the title, and then that's how you
- 1:59:34Speaker 7: give Randy his fifteenth championship. That is my honest prediction,
- 1:59:43Speaker 7: and I'm going to ride with that from now all
- 1:59:45Speaker 7: the way out to WrestleMania.
- 1:59:47Speaker 8: All right, and if you're wrong, you're never allowed back
- 1:59:49Speaker 8: on the show ever again.
- 1:59:50Speaker 3: You think.
- 1:59:58Speaker 4: To SmackDown ship?
- 2:00:04Speaker 3: Uh, this is so, this is you putting your career
- 2:00:07Speaker 3: on the line in this prediction.
- 2:00:10Speaker 7: This is a very this is a very infantile like Fince.
- 2:00:17Speaker 8: Forcing the retirement.
- 2:00:20Speaker 7: All out there. Oh oh oh a damn pool.
- 2:00:35Speaker 3: I mean at least, I mean that would be one
- 2:00:38Speaker 3: interesting way to get the title on Randy Orton, right.
- 2:00:42Speaker 7: Yeah, Like I said, they've they've been playing.
- 2:00:46Speaker 4: Yeah, now.
- 2:00:51Speaker 3: I think is only that matches though, mm hmm.
- 2:00:57Speaker 7: Randy and Drew.
- 2:00:59Speaker 4: Yeah, true, already matches.
- 2:01:09Speaker 7: Oh yeah, they have holy ship. Yeah, I'm riding with it.
- 2:01:20Speaker 7: There's nothing you can say.
- 2:01:22Speaker 4: You can't run it back.
- 2:01:22Speaker 7: I mean I've already said it.
- 2:01:24Speaker 3: It doesn't mean they haven't it can't run it back. Yeah,
- 2:01:27Speaker 3: they can still run it back. I mean, how many
- 2:01:30Speaker 3: matches have Cody and Drew head mm hmm. And they're
- 2:01:34Speaker 3: still running that thing into the ground. So yeah, so.
- 2:01:43Speaker 8: Got dancing in the ground, walking in yeah, like, Hey,
- 2:01:49Speaker 8: at least we got normal start time for this p
- 2:01:51Speaker 8: l E. You know, I means in Chicago, So yeah,
- 2:01:56Speaker 8: well it's nice.
- 2:02:00Speaker 4: That is true. Hey, I like the I like I
- 2:02:05Speaker 4: like the two stat I don't Saturday night or Sunday

- 2:02:55Speaker 10: when I watch it live, which I don't do super often,
- 2:02:59Speaker 10: and I almost never see SmackDown live, so I usually
- 2:03:04Speaker 10: can say.
- 2:03:06Speaker 4: Or I watched like the first hour and then I
- 2:03:08Speaker 4: go to bed, and then I watched the rest of
- 2:03:10Speaker 4: it the next day. It takes me to Sunday Monday
