- 3:22California, doing WrestleMania. Week, I didn't realize I didn't
- 3:28realize the cartoons until it happened that night.
- 3:31So let me fix that. Let me fix that mistake.
- 3:33Ladies and gentlemen, the main event at The Whisky.
- 3:36A Go Go. Go on Wednesday night was
- 3:37changed to 50 Cent going up against Conor McGregor and guess
- 3:41who won that match? Oh wait, that's not it.
- 3:47There's been a slight miscommunication.
- 3:48My notes say that, but as you look it up, it was actually many
- 3:5250 Cent. Otherwise, no, that's 25 cents.
- 3:56Who was scheduled to compete against mini job role to decide
- 3:59once and for all who the best one in their short career was,
- 4:05Unfortunately, gyro had to take a small step back and bow out of
- 4:09this match, and his place with many Conor McGregor, and
- 4:15according to the videos, and the photos.
- 4:16Even that was short-lived and safe stood there.
- 4:23Hey, we love our short rounds on this podcast specialty.
- 4:26One Hornswoggle who tends to live down here with us while
- 4:30we're recording. Friday night was the Hall of
- 4:35Fame. Got to look at it for a brief
- 4:38moment. I was going to remember
- 4:41everything that happened, but it happened.
- 4:43Stacy Keibler got inducted was presented as a beautiful
- 4:46princess, that she is, I get that Torrie Wilson the induction
- 4:49because that's her best friend. They've known each other since
- 4:52those early, but I was wondering why Mick Foley was there.
- 4:58She asked him to oh she did okay.
- 5:02Yeah, yeah, he talked first and he said that he got a phone call
- 5:08from Stacy and she asked him to induct her into the Hall of Fame
- 5:14and he said, of course. Oh, that's pretty sweet.
- 5:21Yeah. Okay, referee.
- 5:24Tim White received a warrior word.
- 5:28Ric Flair had a lot to say about himself when he inducted the
- 5:31great muta, fortunately Jim Carrey or any Shenanigans or
- 5:36went around for Andy Kaufman. But the main event of the
- 5:40evening Rey Mysterio Conan inducted him his Compadre he's
- 5:46the Godfather of book Dominic and Alia and he said it best, he
- 5:50called him the Scarecrow because he's a stand out Above the Rest.
- 5:55Rey Mysterio came out and just like, when Frank Ocean went to
- 5:59accept his Grammy Award and Chris Brown was the only one
- 6:01sitting down, not giving him love.
- 6:04Dominic was doing the exact same thing as soon as Greg on the
- 6:08ring toss a induction to the Hall of Fame Dominic Rhea Ripley
- 6:11and Dana priest. We're seeing getting up and
- 6:13leaving the place. That is so pathetic, the crowd
- 6:18erupted with Kool-Aid. Oh can't, that, that's asshole
- 6:23is Spanish. And that came with what they
- 6:28were saying. It's like I could I could Aaron
- 6:33California. I understood completely.
- 6:36I said hey I know that Ray was a bit choked up but he said he
- 6:40would handle business. The next day.
- 6:44There was a lot of AAA talk, how you got his name in The Mask
- 6:47dilute just stuff East, eww, Eddie Guerrero, his wife, Angie
- 6:52and the kids. And finally, he thinks the fans
- 6:56and the double Universe, how made, and how they made him

- 10:07Both nights were held at the Sophie stadium in Inglewood,
- 10:10California which was the original location for
- 10:13WrestleMania. 27 before the pandemic portion to be relocated
- 10:17both the Ms and Snoop Dogg where the hoes For the event because
- 10:21nothing screamed like, it's okay, Sasha Banks.
- 10:24We don't need you to come back. We still have your cousin Snoop
- 10:27Dogg on speed dial. You think that's what it was.
- 10:36Eh, I don't know. It's all right, we're stadi
- 10:39Monet. Yeah, we have Snoop Dogg and
- 10:46just like every year since 2022, official theme song, came from
- 10:50the weekend, blinding light, and 2020, save your tears in 2021
- 10:55sacrifice and 2022. And less than zero for this
- 10:58year's theme song, as well as Hollywood Swinging by Kool and
- 11:02the Gang which actually kind of Record me a bit and brought me
- 11:06back to GTA San Andreas. And that many game with that
- 11:09song, I hated it for night. One pop reggaeton singer.
- 11:17Becky, G, performed America, the Beautiful.
- 11:20I loved it, I loved it. What do you think of it like
- 11:28Becky G? You know, I think I, well, I
- 11:33know I missed it. Because when we are watching we
- 11:37were, you know, they're showing oh kind of like a recap of
- 11:41things that were happening, okay?
- 11:44And so we're like, you know what?
- 11:45We already saw this part so fast, forwarded.
- 11:47So when we put it back on, all of that was done and it started
- 11:55the first match, right? Right, right.
- 11:57Right. So first match of the night last
- 12:0011 minutes and 20 seconds United States Champion.
- 12:03Austin Theory comes out first, don't understand the reason why
- 12:07but yeah he came out first. Usually a champion comes out
- 12:11second, do you want it to give John Cena the The legend Hall of
- 12:21Famer status come out last Make-a-Wish, kid, we're on the
- 12:26stage, which I think they said their dream was to go to
- 12:29WrestleMania. See that music, hit his gift on
- 12:34the screen with the GI Joe logo and he came out to meet and
- 12:37greet the kids as well as his best friend.
- 12:39Cameraman's. Do I thought for sure?
- 12:43There was no way Cena was going to lose in front of these kids
- 12:46but W said fuck them kids wow here's County.
- 12:53The hear the loser for the kids. John Cena does his thing takes
- 13:02off his hat and damn. There was no way.
- 13:07I was paying any attention to this match due to balding Spot
- 13:09On this man's head. He just needs to shave it off.
- 13:14You know, keep going high and tight.
- 13:17Like you used to go Kurt Angle shave, it all off, exactly.
- 13:24Austin Theory shows some ruthless aggression in this
- 13:27match much like see John Cena showed it to Kurt Angle when he
- 13:31first debuted 20 years ago. It was a passing of the torch at
- 13:35they say theory is the new hot wrestler, trying to make a name
- 13:39for himself and he defeated John Cena and really yeah you know I
- 13:51wish you very what a loss. I do I still think they're he
- 13:57should have lost but you know what?
- 13:59If if this was just John Cena's like one of his last matches
- 14:04then yeah. Okay I get it.
- 14:06But yeah I I'm tired of awesome Theory being the champ.
- 14:11All right. Oh my goodness.
- 14:13Okay. Next match.
- 14:17The street profits defeated Braun strowman and Ricochet off
- 14:20Academy. Try to gain with odors and the
- 14:23Viking Raiders Eric and I Are at 8 minutes and 30 seconds aside
- 14:29from the first two matches being short, I would love to see more
- 14:32from them. But I see why it was short.
- 14:34They went all in on the street profits.
- 14:37Yeah. Team each team had high flyer
- 14:39and the big monster. That's a viking Raiders.
- 14:42They're incredible. This whole match was incredible.
- 14:46I want to see if Montez. Ford was Ricochet, match, solo
- 14:49match and just let them go at it.
- 14:51Yes yes that ending. Was phenomenal.
- 14:56But obviously exactly I loved it and I was like, you know what,
- 15:02my test probably broke his ribs again but you know that.
- 15:07I don't know if he did but you know just seeing I agree with
- 15:12you. I want to see Ricochet and
- 15:15Montez, Ford put him in a cage so there's no outside
- 15:18interference and just let him go at it.
- 15:21Exactly next match. Seth Rollins versus Logan.
- 15:26Paul 16 minutes and 15 seconds. All right, we're gonna go
- 15:30through this one, 16 minutes and 15.
- 15:33So that's its 60 Minutes, 16 minutes.
- 15:41So Logan Paul came out first ziplining down the stage and
- 15:45walking with the Prime energy drink mascot, who I for sure.
- 15:48Thought it was going to be Jake. Paul He was wearing this blue
- 15:54and yellow scheme, bass spandex jacket suit, and if your big fan
- 15:58of fortnight order you to burn in Japan, somebody I'm Twitter.
- 16:02Put them side by side and they are exactly the same.
- 16:05The same. Would you think of that Yeah,
- 16:12he's you know I'm not a Logan Paul fan and not, but you know
- 16:17what? I will say he, you know, he's
- 16:20for as little training as he's got, he's he's pretty good, you
- 16:24know, I will give it up to, he's got some skills.
- 16:27I'm just not a fan of him. All right.
- 16:30Great. Next, we have an opera conductor
- 16:33who was on the stage with his baton, getting the crowd to
- 16:36sing. He I searched far and wide for
- 16:40this man. As name and was finally able to
- 16:44get it. His name is Jasper Randall and
- 16:47he was a part of the Encompass music Partners who was also a
- 16:51part of night to, as well. So, keep listening and I will
- 16:55tell you conductor, Jasper led the crowd to the yelling, you
- 17:00know, the yelling up whatever and then Seth Rollins music
- 17:06hits. And I have to wonder how much he
- 17:09was paid for just doing this day.
- 17:11Act just come out, just come out and do this to the ground.
- 17:16Don't go with it. Don't love it, I love it.
- 17:21I love it. We all loved.
- 17:23It was like I was doing my own conductions like yes, so that
- 17:29comes out wearing a red puffer robe.
- 17:31Jacket design by King, Troy along with gear, customized by a
- 17:38sock on and Jolene. Jill, Nikki, Yeah, that's like
- 17:45there was a lot of, you know, got tagged these people in order
- 17:49to understand that they were, there's a lot of that on
- 17:51Instagram. So that got King Troy, serotonin
- 17:55and Jolene Jolene. Nikki his top look like Jeff
- 18:00Jarrett's. While the bottoms look like
- 18:02something Shawn Michaels. We're at this whole time.
- 18:05I'm thinking Shawn Michaels at the whole zip line into the
- 18:08match a lot better. Yeah.
- 18:17I appreciate it. Twitter who was channeling in
- 18:19his outfit and maybe someone could find a who wore it best,
- 18:24you know, side-by-side comparison.
- 18:26Well, shout-out to the call-up podcast for having a
- 18:30side-by-side shot in their Instagram of what Rihanna wore
- 18:34at the Super Bowl and what's that was wearing that night, if
- 18:40you remember that? Yes.
- 18:50Because I just, you know, I just love his outfits, I think they
- 18:55are there outlandish but he goes with it and I think it adds
- 19:02with, to his Charisma he had, I think it does.
- 19:07And I had saw on a son Instagram.
- 19:12I saw like the backstage when he showed Becky, she's like art so
- 19:18jealous. If she?
- 19:19Okay, that's funny. Yeah.
- 19:28That's hilarious. This match exceeded my
- 19:31expectations but as we said on the predictions episode set had
- 19:35to win, there was no way he's going to lose two wrestlemanias
- 19:40back to back. There was a moment with the
- 19:43mascot got involved and unmask himself to be YouTuber KSI of
- 19:49course that Seth was put on top of the commentators table and
- 19:55KSI help. But these two were busy with
- 19:57their phone. Owns actually KS.
- 19:59I was busy with his phone Logan decided to drink some of his
- 20:06whatever drink that he had spit it out and then jump off looking
- 20:13for the goodbye room moment. Seth move out of the way and put
- 20:17KSI in his place, Roots Rock / on top of KSI.
- 20:23My brother-in-law, he's going to move, he's kind of put him on
- 20:27there and that's what happened. We are, we are called in as soon
- 20:32as it was there was a moment of Paul tried doing the coast to
- 20:39coast, but Seth superkicked him, which made me think of Shelton
- 20:43Benjamin getting the superkick from Shawn Michaels and I'll
- 20:47highlight reel. Oof sighs, his the curve, stop
- 20:52pins, and wins the match. Thank you so relieved, that
- 20:57happen. Me too.
- 21:02All right. Um, next match, Trish Stratus
- 21:07Lita and Becky Lynch defeated Bailey.
- 21:09Vo sky, and Dakota, Chi 14 minutes and 40 seconds.
- 21:17I kind of wasn't paying attention as much as I should
- 21:19have. But two nights later a trough to
- 21:21WrestleMania, I noticed lead us. I was swollen.
- 21:25So I had to do a bit of a rewind to re watch these matches again
- 21:28and it happened, when the kotick I did her kick to the face,
- 21:31which leader took a tumble to the outside highlights of the
- 21:36match included, Bailey hilariously making fun of L
- 21:39doing the entrance. And I first thought, why is she
- 21:42mocking Jeff Hardy? And I remembered, oh yeah.
- 21:46Lita was a part of that tag team.
- 21:48Team extreme Trish look like the third wheel and all this, but
- 21:54she maintained her own. I loved every moment she was in
- 22:00damage control, look strong. But of course, make this faces
- 22:02look stronger. Because their Hall of Famers,
- 22:06the rumors that are Trish rumors, are that Trish might
- 22:09betray her team before SummerSlam, and we've got to
- 22:12have that. Trish versus Becky match.
- 22:14Once and, for all. After damage, control lost the
- 22:19next day, Bailey took to Twitter and tweeted this quote, and
- 22:23sometimes the most romantic love story comes to an end by people
- 22:29are speculating. That she might have walked out
- 22:32just the same way. Sasha Banks and Naomi did last
- 22:34year, but again, speculation. So we will have to see if she
- 22:37shows up on the next show. What did you think of it?
- 22:43You know, I kind of agree with you.
- 22:46You know, that Trish Stratus are just kind of like they are but,
- 22:50you know, she did. I just don't like how and maybe
- 22:55it's just, I'm being overly critical, but they look slow
- 22:58like it's wrestled by numbers. Yeah, yeah.
- 23:04You know, I noticed that Lita and Trish, they look like super
- 23:11slow when they were. Wrestling.
- 23:14You know like it look like it was like Russell by numbers.
- 23:18I mean, I know they are older ladies but you know, you gotta
- 23:21make it look good and make it believable, all right?
- 23:27But I'm glad they did win, I thought Dakota would and CEO
- 23:32would turn, which is what I said and prediction, but I still
- 23:36think they are going to turn on daily.
- 23:39Oh, okay. I think that because, you know,
- 23:43I think that, you know, they were really yo, they're good.
- 23:49As a tag team, the three of them they are, but Bailey, you know,
- 23:55she's the leader and sometimes they don't, you know, they don't
- 23:59want to do what she wants them to do.
- 24:01So I think, I think they're going to turn on her, I don't
- 24:04know when but I just have a feeling they're going to turn on
- 24:07her, okay? Next match, our favorite match
- 24:13tonight, Rey Mysterio defeated Dominic, at 14 minutes and 55
- 24:18seconds. Yeah, let's talk about Dom's
- 24:25entrance for a minute here. Oh my God.
- 24:29The sirens go off, and you can't have Sirens going off and W
- 24:34before automatically you think of Scott Steiner, right?
- 24:40Yeah. But a white van pulls up and
- 24:42hits the correctional facility. Van inside is handcuffed, but
- 24:47wearing like, a Super Shredder / Undertaker, robe with a purple
- 24:52mask on shades of Rey Mysterio's, first, opinions, and
- 24:56those W, he gets taken out and get us escorted by five
- 25:01correction officers in doing, so he takes off his mask, on his
- 25:05way towards the ring. So who was it?
- 25:12Michael Cole. It brought up that interesting
- 25:14take that, he has to earn that mask.
- 25:17Yes, yeah, that's basically what that means.
- 25:21Is he showed a lot of disrespect doing that.
- 25:25You had to earn that mask. Up.
- 25:30Next first we hear 16 bars of nothing but a ji sang by Snoop
- 25:36Dogg and dr. Dre and yes we're in Cali.
- 25:40So you got to represent the West Coast, hip-hop fade in on Rey
- 25:44Mysterio in the lowrider, being driven by Snoop, they drive
- 25:49towards the outside and the camera follows them.
- 25:52As a trunk is raised up to review the word, the game is to
- 25:56be sold, not to be told which not the Snoop stir studio album,
- 26:02which came out in 1998, under the No Limit Records brand As
- 26:07they get out into the crowd, the song changes to Viva La Raza.
- 26:12Eddie Guerrero's theme music, I died a little bit.
- 26:17I said, yeah, come here, do it. You did it.
- 26:21We will Augusta. Ray doesn't shimmy slapped chest
- 26:26and points to the sky. Viva Eddie Guerrero.
- 26:30Great tribute to his best friend as he walks down.
- 26:34The ramp. The Higher ass-kicking is
- 26:38brought to you by Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
- 26:42Yeah. Really.
- 26:43Thus Emoji, man. I'm like, oh my God, this is
- 26:48gonna be the most serious, freakin eyes with my receipt.
- 26:50And then you see the Cinnamon Toast Crunch in freaking mascot.
- 26:55She's okay, Raven shakes hands with one of them with the
- 26:59mascot, which ends up being sold, Ruka from NXT underneath
- 27:05that outfit. According to her Instagram.
- 27:10Oh good this. So let's talk about what he's
- 27:13wearing because a lot of people immediately thought of Bible man
- 27:18For some reason, I don't know, just the mask.
- 27:22Yeah, the Bible man mask, which was that right there.
- 27:28I thought for sure his mask was influenced by The Flash which
- 27:33was coming out this year but it wasn't real basic Ali said at
- 27:37the press conference, that they knew a guy who work for Marvel,
- 27:41the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So they're in Hollywood, do what
- 27:45Hollywood does best It to me, it kind of look like, what's his
- 27:53the John? Cena's character a little bit.

- 30:07hell out of his son of War. Like no, you're not doing that
- 30:12shit to my daughter, get out of here later.
- 30:15The press conference saying they had it been anyone else and they

- 38:33real one. Yes, yeah I'm glad I mean away
- 38:39and it just shows that she doesn't need anybody.
- 38:43You don't know she doesn't need the Judgment Day because she's a
- 38:46really good fighter. Right.
- 38:49And I'm so glad that. Now they're showcasing that
- 38:55because you know, when she was when she was fighting, you know,
- 39:00with was it Nikki a sh You know, I'm like she was all lovey-dovey
- 39:09with her which I'm like this, you know, it's fine, you know,
- 39:11that's their gimmick, that's fine.
- 39:13But then the like they kept losing and I'm like really is
- 39:17way better than this. Yeah, going on, you know, so I'm
- 39:22glad now that they are showcasing just how good she is.
- 39:28Of course, congratulations. I'm Krista be 1/2 of those
- 39:33wrestling girls so now that you have finally won and defeated
- 39:37Charlotte for the smackdown Women's Championship.
- 39:39What's next for you and how do you plan on celebrating tonight?
- 39:44What's next for rear Ripley? I mean, complete control and
- 39:48domination of the Women's Division, I am now, the
- 39:51smackdown women's champion, and I'm not stopping there.
- 39:54I'm going to prove to everyone, exactly who real bloody Ripley
- 39:57is, And I'm going to make my own destiny and my own legacy.
- 40:01When I take over WWE with my fellow members of the Judgment
- 40:05Day that is as for celebrating. I think I'm going to save the
- 40:10celebrating for tomorrow night when Finn beats Edge because
- 40:15then all the judgement Day members can celebrate tonight, I
- 40:19think I'm just going to go back to my hotel and eat because I
- 40:22haven't really done that today. So that's what my main focus is
- 40:26that. You sir over here, don't traffic
- 40:30Daily Mail so you've just won the Women's Championship, what's
- 40:34next? For the Judgment Day in terms of
- 40:35belts, in judge of titles? I mean, whatever the boys really
- 40:41want. I think we can accomplish
- 40:43anything in this company and we're here to take over.
- 40:46Like I said, in my last question, we're going to take
- 40:49over the WWE. So whatever Championship they
- 40:51want. I bet I can get.
- 40:59And next question, goes to you sir, Joe radius Associated,
- 41:03Press Ria. How much more satisfying is this
- 41:07Victory? Compared to three years ago when
- 41:09you and Charlotte were on the path and the first meeting man.
- 41:13It's it's extremely satisfying. Going into WrestleMania 36.
- 41:20It was my first WrestleMania. I was NXT Women's Champion and
- 41:24Charlotte had just won the role run when I was like, you know
- 41:26what, if she wants to challenge me, bring it.
- 41:28It. And unfortunately, for me, my
- 41:30first WrestleMania was at a time when the world was shut down.
- 41:35So we had zero people in attendance.
- 41:38We were at the performance center, which is where I had
- 41:40trained every single day for the past, two to three years.
- 41:46And it was the one place that I really didn't want to go to.
- 41:50But at the end of the day, I think Charlotte and I still
- 41:52stole the show that night. So I'm very very proud of that
- 41:55match. But going out there tonight at
- 41:57Wrestlemania Nine in Hollywood. I'm the Royal Rumble, winner.
- 42:01I Challenge Charlotte Flair for the smackdown Women's
- 42:03Championship, and I came out Victorious.
- 42:05This time. It is so extremely satisfying
- 42:08and I have to give it to Charlotte.
- 42:10She put up a main fire and I didn't really expect anything
- 42:13less from her. I know exactly how she is in the
- 42:16ring, and I knew that I had to bring everything that I had.
- 42:20So, I did and now you're looking at the new Smackdown, women's
- 42:23champion. You're in the back row.
- 42:30They re a congrats in the victory.
- 42:32Obviously NXT. Women's Champion and X2 UK
- 42:35women's champion, WWE women's tag team champion.
- 42:37We're all women's champion. Now, Smackdown, Women's
- 42:39Champion, becoming the first ever want to do that doc.
- 42:41The thoughts on making history is the ultimate Grand Slam
- 42:43champion in WWE for one agree. I mean like you said history,
- 42:48I'm here to make history growing up in Adelaide.
- 42:52South Australia. I always got told that my dream
- 42:56of coming to the WWE would probably not happen.
- 42:58So, just making it here, such an Men, but being the first Grand
- 43:02Slam Champion to have those exact championships is so
- 43:06satisfying. I'm so extremely proud of myself
- 43:09and my journey here to the WWE. And then my journey here within
- 43:13the WWE to be able to accomplish all those historic moments, man.
- 43:21I that's the one thing that I strive for making history.
- 43:24I want my name etched in the history books forever, and I've
- 43:28gone and done that. Rhea, Jason Jones, the athletic,
- 43:33just wanted to know how different of a performer and
- 43:36wrestler. Are you than you were back at
- 43:38WrestleMania 36 to where you are right now?
- 43:41I think the main thing is, I've grown up.
- 43:44I was very, very confident at WrestleMania, 36.
- 43:48But I was also very new and I was still learning who I was as
- 43:52a human being and a professional wrestler.
- 43:57I feel like three years ago, I was very immature my confidence,
- 44:04definitely over shun, every think we're now I'm confident,
- 44:09but I also have my, the skill set to back it up.
- 44:13I've done many, many things here, and I feel like every
- 44:17single little thing has built up to, this current moment.
- 44:22I feel like going up outside of work is one of the main things
- 44:27for me. I've matured So much mentally so
- 44:32much mentally and also physically that I'm a whole
- 44:36different Beast these days. And I think a lot of the men
- 44:38here in the WWE can testify to that, however you
- 44:47congratulations, I'm Emily met with sports, keto wrestling and
- 44:51we saw last night, Rey Mysterio was inducted into the WWE Hall
- 44:55of Fame and we also saw that you remained seated.
- 45:00Dated, mmm, can you speak to that and also speak to what
- 45:03happened tonight, between Dom and Rey Mysterio so at the hall
- 45:08of fame. I mean, yeah, good for, right?
- 45:11He's getting inducted into the Hall of Fame.
- 45:13I mean, that's a massive accomplishment and he should be
- 45:16proud of himself. But the one thing that he can't
- 45:20be proud of himself for is being a good father because he wasn't,
- 45:25he's a deadbeat dad, like Dom likes to say.
- 45:27And I wasn't going to show any sort of Respect to a man that
- 45:31can't even be there for his son. So that's why we remain seated.
- 45:35And that's why we walked out because I'm not going to put
- 45:38Dominic through that. He doesn't want to sit there and
- 45:40watch his dad. Get inducted after he put the
- 45:43WWE before his own family. So that's why we walked out and
- 45:47what happened tonight. I mean obviously I wish that I
- 45:51could have been there for my dumb dumb.
- 45:53My Latino Heat Dominic Mysterio but you know at the end of the
- 45:56day, mommy had business to settle and Mommy's gonna To
- 46:00settle some more business later on as well.
- 46:03Maria much to your Chagrin. We will hear from Rey Mysterio
- 46:06later on, but nonetheless right now.

- 53:51and the other and now you lost about and you can't quit and get
- 53:53the job done. Now, soul is going to go out
- 53:56there and do the job. Yeah.
- 53:59Yeah. It was that bad was amazing.
- 54:04They got me on my feet. They got me pacing the floor.
- 54:07I enjoyed it so much. Look there are.
- 54:11There are Hall of Famers. There are world champions
- 54:13multiple times over. I'm talking some of the best of
- 54:17the best of the best ever. That have never gotten to tell a
- 54:21story like this over this course of time with this level of depth
- 54:27with this many talented individuals in front and in back
- 54:30of the camera but especially on the performance side of it.
- 54:34So I feel just so lucky to have been a part of it.
- 54:38This feels like the culmination of it.
- 54:39Although as you said it's a pretty long time line with WWE.
- 54:43So even if you think you've put a nice little bow on it, we can
- 54:46unravel that anytime and call back to it.
- 54:48And that's one of the Again, I think that's actually been the
- 54:50beauty of this story's, the number of callbacks, and also,
- 54:54just so much of it would not have worked with any other
- 54:56individuals. I had to be the Usos and Roman
- 54:59because that is a legitimate lifelong relationship had to be
- 55:03Kevin because that is a legitimate, you know, 20-year
- 55:06friendship and without those that level of reality bleeding
- 55:11into story just wouldn't work. But again, you know, one of the
- 55:15things that I take a lot of pride in with this story over
- 55:18the past year is Is that little I do think it transcended.
- 55:23The classical kind of wrestling storyline for sure.
- 55:28And I actually think it's a glimpse into what because of its
- 55:31Effectiveness, I think it could be a glimpse of what storylines
- 55:36going forward if not achieve, will at least aspire to in my
- 55:42opinion. I think this is much like you
- 55:44saw it with television, how it kind of evolved to the Golden
- 55:47Age of television in 2000, with HBO, and things like that, and
- 55:50more complex and more layered characters.
- 55:53So to do, I think this story if I may be so bold as offer a
- 55:57comparison, it's almost like The Sopranos it is to WWE with The
- 56:03Sopranos was to television. If I may be so bold as to make
- 56:08that comparison. Hey guys Dominic D'Angelo
- 56:12ad-free shows.com, congratulation to you first and
- 56:16secondly does it almost kind of feel like a cathartic release
- 56:19for both of you. The journey you guys have been
- 56:21on with this compelling story and on top of that, talk about
- 56:26the journey, you kind of had to get the opportunity to kind of
- 56:29speak out a little bit more to you with your cause for Syria
- 56:32and as well. It's just Kevin.
- 56:34You like the love that you get to share with your family and
- 56:36your son and everybody involved with that.
- 56:38How big does this kind of moment mean to you guys in that?
- 56:41Guard. look, man, there's something about It's like I said
- 56:52I know I sound like I'm repeating myself but when I said
- 56:54it's hard to put into words the history without here.
- 56:58But this 3, here things, we've gone through to get to where we
- 57:01are. You know, funny enough.
- 57:04Most of most of which we've probably forgotten until
- 57:06something Sparks a memory. And then we remember, kind of
- 57:09like we were doing today, you know, talking to each other.
- 57:12And then we get to share that like you said, with our families
- 57:15that are there are families, know each other.
- 57:17They've known each other for years.
- 57:19We get to And like, it's almost. What we get to share with our
- 57:25families and everything, but everybody that was watching is
- 57:28so well-versed and knows, everything that's happened
- 57:31between us and, you know, you mentioned how it couldn't have
- 57:36been with any other players and that story because of all the
- 57:38real-life elements that come to it.
- 57:41It's really hard to describe, feeling what we feel in the ring
- 57:45and knowing what the people we love are feeling watching us, do
- 57:49it and they've been along for the ride.
- 57:51So I wish I had a more eloquent answer but like I said, it's
- 57:55hard to put into words and I think everybody can relate to
- 57:57that, though. You know, I think everybody
- 57:58knows exactly what I mean the feeling I'm trying to describe.
- 58:01So, it's weird that we don't have words for it yet.
- 58:05Weird. Right?
- 58:06It is complex III won't piggyback off that Teresa.
- 58:09Just fine, come on, it's twice. I don't know.
- 58:15Yeah, I do agree with the sentiment of it is it's funny
- 58:18that you say cathartic because that is one thing that I didn't
- 58:22anticipate. As soon as that three hit the
- 58:25mat, there was a genuine release of emotion that I did not
- 58:28anticipate. Even if I let's say plan as a
- 58:32performer to, like, who this would be a good moment to just
- 58:35Emotion that thought didn't even get to cross my mind because it
- 58:39just it punched its way out of my body.
- 58:42So there was a catharsis to it but there's also Man, it's hard
- 58:47to put into words. Yeah, there's just a lot.
- 58:50There's just a lot. There's just a lot because you
- 58:51think about weird things and, you know, when you talked about
- 58:55or your question about our history, in Los Angeles and
- 58:58making our name here, you know, we think about things like
- 59:01landing and back when cell phones didn't work when you
- 59:04cross the border and not knowing if anyone was going to pick you
- 59:07up and waiting at Terminal 5, you know, and just waiting for
- 59:11super dragons cars coming and maybe he's been looping the
- 59:14airport, five or so and having no way.
- 59:16All these moments. I know they sound like long
- 59:18stories about to drone on and on, but that come like that's
- 59:21happening in the ring. That's happening at the
- 59:23entrance. You're getting bombarded with
- 59:25weird memories like that in conjunction with everything
- 59:28else. He's talking about.
- 59:29So I think that's why it's so hard to put into words because
- 59:33the mind has a really crazy ability in moments like this and
- 59:36intense emotional moments like this to throw multiple seemingly
- 59:40disjointed memories at you all at once and then you feel all
- 59:44the things all at once. So that's why it's so hard to
- 59:47put into words. I think. before we go, I just
- 59:52want to say one thing we've talked about him being them VP
- 59:55and I've said it like you said, it's true for I go to things the
- 1:00:00Usos Even though everybody loves them, everybody appreciates
- 1:00:05them, their underappreciated, they're the best.
- 1:00:09Unbelievable. I'm the just I can't I don't
- 1:00:14have enough good works for them and also I said pwg helped us
- 1:00:19get here. Super dragon helped us get here.
- 1:00:21There's two other guys I really helped us get here Their names
- 1:00:24are Mark and Jay Briscoe, we lost Jay recently.
- 1:00:29I really hope we made them proud tonight because God great guys
- 1:00:34and we really missed ya life goes fast and so it's nice to
- 1:00:41just enjoy these moments. I think so.
- 1:00:44Thank you for being a part of it and thank you for letting us do
- 1:00:46it. Thank you.
- 1:00:48What did you think of night one? you know, I liked it, like I
- 1:00:54said, be, you know, There wasn't a match that they didn't have to
- 1:01:00have, you know, kind of thing. But I think, you know, the the
- 1:01:04miss his was, you know, just kind of because, you know, they
- 1:01:10needed to build up. But but it was nice to see Pat.
- 1:01:17Yeah, I've been waiting for him to come back.

- 1:03:24almost at 4 minutes and 55 seconds.
- 1:03:27I was right on the money you are.
- 1:03:31I was riding the money that this match was going to be five
- 1:03:34minutes or less. Yeah.

- 1:03:40and the entrance is lasted longer than the match like this

- 1:03:59a mosque almost did was throw lesson around like a rag doll
- 1:04:04Lesnar. Attempted an F5.
- 1:04:06But almost escaped, that's fucking bullshit.
- 1:04:10Oh, my eyes and escaped. He couldn't hit lift him up, and
- 1:04:13why was that even necessary? Oh, I can't lift you up my back
- 1:04:17a second time. Oh, I did it.
- 1:04:19Yeah. Like what, why was I even
- 1:04:22necessary? He had a second wind, I guess,
- 1:04:27Lesnar then delivered three German suplexes and then
- 1:04:30connected with the F5 to pick up the win.
- 1:04:33Four minutes. And 55 seconds that is Cool,
- 1:04:37that's great. Let's get to the next match.

- 1:04:55Okay, I had to say does that lasted?
- 1:04:59Just as long as a man tag team wrestling to Showcase match the
- 1:05:02night before but on that match. Everyone did something and hear
- 1:05:07the rest in committee was upset that rounds of didn't do shit
- 1:05:09for this match. Ended up getting the win.
- 1:05:11Anyway, thanks well I just thought you know they got what
- 1:05:18tossed out the first like 30 seconds.
- 1:05:21It's and then they just stayed out of the match till the last,
- 1:05:26you know, minute literally of the match.
- 1:05:31And I think that Rhonda Shea detective, Rhonda she looks at
- 1:05:35the crowd and, like, watch. We do this shit watch.
- 1:05:38We do this shit. All right, I'm about to do
- 1:05:40something, and she does the armbar and Winslow, like, what
- 1:05:43the hell are we sneaking? Think he does every time.
- 1:05:49Right, hilarious. Nothing to say about this match
- 1:05:56other than right great. She did her thing.
- 1:05:59Cool. apparently, hold on. Apparently, Chelsea, Green was
- 1:06:15on Twitter, she just came out of the hospital.
- 1:06:19She says I quote I saw I celebrated my first Mania too
- 1:06:23hard turns out. I actually had a severe stomach
- 1:06:26bug and distant gallbladder. Thank God, the manager of the
- 1:06:30yard took care of me, will not be filing any complaints this
- 1:06:34weekend, the manager, even even Even out of character, she's
- 1:06:47still in character. Get the hell out of here.
- 1:06:52I'm dead. I love her too.
- 1:06:54I love this whole story. Linda she's like, can I speak to
- 1:06:57the manager? And he's right there, I'm right
- 1:07:01here, lady, come on. Like all right.
- 1:07:05Fine. Well why am I not have wrestled
- 1:07:07with you at? Well, here's the reason and then
- 1:07:09he wearing WrestleMania and then you freaking lose to Ronda
- 1:07:14Rousey of all people fashion headbanger, Gunther defeated
- 1:07:21Sheamus and Drew McIntyre for the International Championship
- 1:07:2416 minutes and 40 seconds a headbanger.
- 1:07:28It was yes it was. That Matt was intense.
- 1:07:34Oh for sure. And I mean like it was not like
- 1:07:39there wasn't a dull moment that home ass ever.
- 1:07:43I love this match so hard. I kind of the slaps because why
- 1:07:46not? All three men was that as yeah.
- 1:07:51Why not. Oh, you know why not?
- 1:07:53All three men came out of this with their chest being read.
- 1:07:57Shame is on the other hand came out with what looks like blood.
- 1:08:01Geez, a total of 41, slept the chest by all three men, five
- 1:08:06minutes into the match and Sheamus chest looks like just
- 1:08:08like his red hair. I know, man.
- 1:08:13I won't point in the match Sheamus McIntyre, fighting each
- 1:08:15other over who gets to chop or fight Gunter.
- 1:08:19Another big number here, 29 and a half clubs to McIntyre's chest
- 1:08:23from Sheamus as Michael Cole calls it.
- 1:08:29Freaking hell Gunther came into WrestleMania, holding the I see
- 1:08:32championship at 296 days now 300 days.
- 1:08:36Depending on when you're listening to this episode, the
- 1:08:38last time somebody held the Anaconda Championship longer
- 1:08:41than 300 days, was in 1988 at 450 three days and that was held
- 1:08:46by the Hall of Famer, The Honky Tonk, Man.
- 1:08:51So maybe we might be heading to that long Reign again.
- 1:08:55All Gunther needs to do Do is hold on today.
- 1:08:58Inter College Championship 444 - 150 for more days so maybe by
- 1:09:02August and September he will have broken the record but what
- 1:09:10did you think of the moment they're going to let?
- 1:09:13Yes I believe they're going to let him do it.
- 1:09:14I want to if they're going to let it roam into it might as
- 1:09:17well let it Contour to it. Also like you're doing new
- 1:09:22record. I really appreciate about
- 1:09:25Gunther is He has wrestling moves, he doesn't just you know
- 1:09:33throw them you know around like a rag doll.
- 1:09:38He actually fights yes. It's been at Sur is a freaking
- 1:09:42Power Bomb. Okay for him like chop them into
- 1:09:48the into the turnbuckle chopped pork chops.
- 1:09:53Yeah cops all the way. Oh man, I loved Them.
- 1:09:59I gotta I gotta I gotta do another play by play and this
- 1:10:05one's about Gunther versus alien draganov.
- 1:10:09Dow was the most hurtful match I've ever seen.
- 1:10:14Yeah. I was that.
- 1:10:16Was that a when he was a day unifying?
- 1:10:21The yeah. And then yeah, probably around
- 1:10:27like prior to that during the pandemic with no crowd that they
- 1:10:31did want and day exploded with both of their chest and back and
- 1:10:37everything blood all over them. Wow, that that I need to see
- 1:10:42that again. And possibly do a play-by-play.
- 1:10:46Yeah, yeah. So next match, Bianca, Bel-Air
- 1:10:53defeated Oscar for the raw Women's Championship, 16 minutes
- 1:10:58and 5 Seconds. Oscar came out first, a bunch of
- 1:11:04women wearing the same masks came out, followed by Oscar
- 1:11:07wearing, a DNA mask after a. After a local youth group called
- 1:11:13the Divas of Compton came out. First turn to do with Bianca
- 1:11:16Bel-Air, as they dance, the girls separated into different
- 1:11:20two. Different lines.
- 1:11:20Paving the way for the youngest girl in the group to cartwheel
- 1:11:24her way into our hearts. Oh my God.
- 1:11:29More on this young cutie little cutie after this match.
- 1:11:33Triple H had a lot to say about her in the press conference.
- 1:11:36I know, if I start saying anything, I will probably break
- 1:11:39down. But soon after Bianca, Butler
- 1:11:42came out and stood side by side with her.
- 1:11:45Both did the same move with their long braided hairs.
- 1:11:48Oh, my God. He was of me.
- 1:11:51I thought it was such a good entrance.
- 1:11:53It was awesome. Hey, was I really enjoyed that?
- 1:11:57Yeah. During the match, Bell are
- 1:12:01problems, Oscar on the outside and roller back in the ring for
- 1:12:03a two count, Oscar delivered, a knee to the face and Butler.
- 1:12:06Hit a shoulder tackle. The lair attempt to the top rope
- 1:12:10kiss of death, but Oscar blocked into a code breaker, Oscar
- 1:12:14tempted to Asian Miss, but missed allowing Bellaire to
- 1:12:17hoist her up for the kiss of death.
- 1:12:18But ask it counted into the arm bar bell aired and liftoff go
- 1:12:22while still on the hold and hit her move the kiss of death to
- 1:12:27win another Other moment came to the press conference.
- 1:12:30When asked when someone asked her, if this third win in a row,
- 1:12:33WrestleMania was the new streak. And it is, that's three.
- 1:12:41That's three matches. She's won at WrestleMania.
- 1:12:44That's what now. Yeah.
- 1:12:49I loved it. I don't never be a fan.
- 1:12:52I'll be out to Fan ever since, you know, these NXT.

- 1:13:14But hopefully come back soon. Yeah, I hope so.
- 1:13:19But, you know, she did she did good.
- 1:13:22I know a lot of people were upset that she want again, but
- 1:13:26I'm like, you know what? Who cares?
- 1:13:29She did it, I mean she she's made history at WrestleMania.
- 1:13:35Yo, it was a really good match. And she's what now had the belt
- 1:13:43for a year. I think that's what it was.
- 1:13:48Yeah she's got it. Yeah because they said that but
- 1:13:53you know it was it was good and Oscar showed up and she did
- 1:13:58great you know I think these two did a phenomenal job.

- 1:14:09match. They were both amazing for hated
- 1:14:14not, you know. Disappoint at all, either one.
- 1:14:20I would've been happy with with oscar-winning or, you know, or

- 1:16:28the eat, you know, EST inside of them.
- 1:16:30And, you know, representation is so important, and I always want
- 1:16:33to bring that to the table. Like, they're my why like,
- 1:16:36walking out as Romans Champion is it means so much, but to be
- 1:16:40able to inspire their my, why they're there.
- 1:16:42My whole reason why The questions I want to mention one
- 1:16:46other thing I know. Bianca talked about her
- 1:16:49entrance. In here and the young ladies
- 1:16:53that were on that stage and how impressive that was.
- 1:16:55And I wanted to mention in one offer condolences and thoughts
- 1:17:01and prayers. It was a little girl in that
- 1:17:03troop today. As they got here that they came
- 1:17:06and informed us that her mom passed away this morning. it's
- 1:17:11the little girl that was the contortionist that Bianca danced
- 1:17:15with and, For her to come here and do that because that's your
- 1:17:29passion in life for her to come and do that because she didn't
- 1:17:33want to let this opportunity slip by for her too.
- 1:17:38Never miss a beat to see her dance Partners swarm around her.
- 1:17:50To see everybody come together for her to see everybody.
- 1:17:54Come to me to tell me about it and then for us to get to do
- 1:18:00what we do. Which is give her that
- 1:18:04opportunity in that moment with Bianca.
- 1:18:10And create a moment for her on the worst day of her life that
- 1:18:14she'll never forget. So why we do what we do on so
- 1:18:20many levels. So I just want to say how cool
- 1:18:25that was. From Bianca and just offer Amina
- 1:18:31our condolences and hope that tomorrow is a better day.
- 1:18:38Next, of course the Ms and Snoop Dogg came out to announce the
- 1:18:43tennis for night to of 80, 1395 and the combined attendance of
- 1:18:49both nights of 160 1892 myths and start telling Snoop Dogg
- 1:18:55about how he was, not ready for the match with Mac free to
- 1:18:58previous night. This brought out a returning,
- 1:19:01Shane McMahon and his first appearance in 2022, Rumble who
- 1:19:05came out to Challenge meds Snoop Dogg, then made the match
- 1:19:09official but McMahon with legitimately tear his quad
- 1:19:17causing the match to be estopped man.
- 1:19:21Jumped up. And messed up.
- 1:19:26Yeah, here comes the money. And there goes the way you can't
- 1:19:35do something after not being in the ring for our year, right?
- 1:19:39You're going to be fine. You're a year older.
- 1:19:43I don't know if he's even been working out or anything, but you
- 1:19:47can't just come up in there thinking you can do like, you
- 1:19:50did and not get hurt. Which she did not your dad.
- 1:19:54Dude, you can't be doing these things anymore.
- 1:19:59Sir. Oh, and a improvised moment,
- 1:20:04Snoop Dogg. Dan came to the ring and
- 1:20:06challenge Ms. Punching him twice and Performing up people's
- 1:20:11elbow. Wow, to win the match.
- 1:20:16This made them is the first person to lose matches at both
- 1:20:19nights of Wrestlemania. Goodness gracious.
- 1:20:24Yeah yeah. He's like no one is ever had
- 1:20:29three opponents in WrestleMania. Now I have I have to record.
- 1:20:34Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did give that man his flowers.
- 1:20:40Yeah. And he didn't suits, so yeah.
- 1:20:49Yeah, next match. Defeated Finn Balor 18 minutes
- 1:20:54and 10 seconds. I believe that Matt could have
- 1:20:57gone longer maybe. Somebody started a rumor that
- 1:21:02can grow was supposed to be here.
- 1:21:04Doing edge of the entrance. Yeah, I heard that too.
- 1:21:08It also didn't help taking Grail himself post on Twitter that he
- 1:21:11was going to be in LA, but he was just that he was in LA a few
- 1:21:15nights before WrestleMania in and out.
- 1:21:18So, you know, he was gone. So this whole brood Edge on his
- 1:21:22entrance was a little man. Like how dare you lie to us sir,
- 1:21:29I'm pretty sure right? Don't cases like that I for
- 1:21:33sure. Thought we would get
- 1:21:34blood-soaked but instead we got different color weapons.
- 1:21:39Red representing Edge and purple representing demon Finn Balor.
- 1:21:44Okay, Edge came out. Just same way to brew used to
- 1:21:48come out from below wearing the diamond encrusted disco ball
- 1:21:54that. Yeah, covered his head down to
- 1:21:56his chest as well as bat wings. What the hell, bat wings.
- 1:22:03Why whatever member them coming out in like masks like that that
- 1:22:09why are that Master disco ball? I don't understand the bat wings
- 1:22:13because you know there Of course, there are creatures from
- 1:22:18the night of the night whatever, but the disco ball.
- 1:22:22Yeah. I don't know his regular music
- 1:22:26hits and makes his way to the ring, Finn Balor.
- 1:22:29Then comes out with a spiked headgear, his portrait colored.
- 1:22:34And on his back, the demon Finn Balor has been neutered.
- 1:22:38That's what I wrote down. Is this wasn't Finn Balor.
- 1:22:43This was just like, why? Why he walks out wearing a
- 1:22:47purple Venom tongue in his chest and holding two purple smoke
- 1:22:50bombs. His answers was amazing, no
- 1:22:53doubt about it but it just felt out of place.
- 1:22:55Like why? Why do okay.
- 1:23:01I enjoyed the math but then like you got.
- 1:23:04Oh crazy there. Yeah, as delivered to a
- 1:23:10traumatic wrestling not you did using hreflang.
- 1:23:15Using weapons. You know?
- 1:23:19And it was a hell of a Cell match.
- 1:23:21No, no. That sounds like me.
- 1:23:25I guess. I mean, but I wish there was a
- 1:23:27little bit more. Wrestling content.
- 1:23:29I guess. Guilt.
- 1:23:31Nor foe kind of underwhelming. Yeah, I kind of felt
- 1:23:34overwhelming. Yeah, because that's all they
- 1:23:36did, you know? Yes, is to Hell in the Cell.
- 1:23:39But, you know, so use the cell, you know, bring them into, you
- 1:23:45know, used to sell to, you know, hit them with.
- 1:23:49Yo, don't just go for Kendo sticks and chairs and tables.
- 1:23:53You know. And then don't throw them at
- 1:23:57each other. Oh this ladder edged and through
- 1:24:01a ladder into Balor and that's when the match had to be stopped
- 1:24:05due to being busted wide open. Next few days, we see on his
- 1:24:12Instagram that Finn Balor needed. 14 Staples to close his
- 1:24:16wound and of course, he the battle one from getting hit on
- 1:24:20his back, by the canes. Reckon.
- 1:24:25He'll Balor hit the Coupe, De Grace.
- 1:24:29All right, let's say that again, Ballard.
- 1:24:31And hit the coup de gras or to Camp.
- 1:24:33One is like, what the coop, they grade I am reading, but Ballard
- 1:24:38and attempted another coup de gras, but Edge moved out of the
- 1:24:41way as Edge attempts. This beer batter moved and
- 1:24:44connected with the Sling Blade. Okay, you know coup de Grasse
- 1:24:48can't be the only move you, dude.
- 1:24:51Yeah, I know something else other than the quit across like
- 1:24:55double stop on a person. Like You know, the does defeats
- 1:25:03everything like you have to get in the top rope to do that.
- 1:25:06Like, can you do like a submission move?
- 1:25:09Can we get some Mission moves on here cheese?
- 1:25:12Well, I think the reason I doesn't because it, you know, it
- 1:25:14knocks the wind out of them, right?
- 1:25:17So the wind out of people though, all that weight, come on
- 1:25:27you, yeah, I would move either the spear and delivered, her
- 1:25:33concerto, the Ballard and win. I think the wrong person, one
- 1:25:38here really looks like as you didn't need to win this match at
- 1:25:42all. We get it.
- 1:25:42He's a legend. But he was trying to push the
- 1:25:45younger Talent then Finn Balor, put it into this window most
- 1:25:49instead. Like, well, I would rather have
- 1:25:53finden Edge when here, so didn't Edge win with Beth Phoenix on
- 1:26:03the last ple. Yeah.
- 1:26:07So why did Edge have to win the game?
- 1:26:08Yeah, I get it. Yeah I think a big pinch it a 1.
- 1:26:14At least get one in there. Yeah, and dead.
- 1:26:18Or that was the original plan, but Finn got hurt.
- 1:26:23Yeah. The main event.
- 1:26:29Finally, the Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes for the
- 1:26:37Undisputed championship. At 34 minutes and 35 seconds.
- 1:26:40This match was 34 minutes, too long.
- 1:26:46Let's just call it right now. Everyone was upset about this.
- 1:26:51Not only because of this but because the roster Mania, which
- 1:26:57we will definitely talk about in a few moments.
- 1:27:03Cody Rhodes came out. First, he went over to greet,
- 1:27:05his family who were sitting in the front row, his mom sister,
- 1:27:09his wife, Brandy who is holding their daughter and right next to
- 1:27:13them. It's little Brody John, Hoover
- 1:27:15son, who was presented with Cody's weightlifters belt.
- 1:27:20So you would think there was no way Cody was going to lose right
- 1:27:23in front of his family. Like the entire world forgot
- 1:27:26that Roman loss in front of his family WrestleMania ones.
- 1:27:30Again just like the day before when John Cena lost, fuck them.
- 1:27:35Kids, we don't give up hell no, we dont care.
- 1:27:45Sure. Why not up next, we pay
- 1:27:47attention to the stage. The conductor that introduced

- 1:29:39Historic moment. This marked the first time, a
- 1:29:43wrestler defended, a world championship in three
- 1:29:45consecutive wrestlemanias. During the same rain, after a
- 1:29:49few more minutes of sizing each other up, Rose performed, the
- 1:29:52Dropkick on Range where one count while the referee was
- 1:29:55distracted. As a CO attack railroads outside

- 1:30:07Follow up with a Cody cutter for a near fall, so called an attack
- 1:30:11roads with roads weight belt, leading to his ejection from
- 1:30:15ringside. Did he steal that weight belt
- 1:30:18from Brandi, I believe so motherfucker.
- 1:30:25I really like, wait a minute. Where is it?
- 1:30:28Didn't he give that belt to Brody?
- 1:30:29What what the hell and then like, you see him with the way
- 1:30:33bells? I quoted.
- 1:30:34He still the belt from them, so give me that.
- 1:30:38Yeah, no, that's when, you know, fucked him, kids Rose didn't
- 1:30:48perform Crossroads on Reigns. For a nearfall roads, kind of
- 1:30:52the Superman punch attempt into a pedigree for a nearfall, lots
- 1:30:57of near-falls. Lots of me just getting up and
- 1:31:00yelling at my TV, as roads, left off the top rope Reigns.
- 1:31:06Speared him for a near fall. Rains applied to Guillotine
- 1:31:09choke, but Road was Road, had the super strength to be able to
- 1:31:14escape because nobody else has done it before.
- 1:31:17Sure, Road went to kick Reigns who And wrote accidentally
- 1:31:21kicked a referee incapacitating him as roads.
- 1:31:25Attempted Aditi, the Usos, Jay and Jimmy ran in attack roads.
- 1:31:30Only for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to make the same with the
- 1:31:34two. Teens brawling into the crowd,
- 1:31:37the river with the referee back roads and covered range for
- 1:31:40another near fall in the closing moments Road performed.
- 1:31:43A bionic elbow shades of his dad Dusty Rhodes and follow up with
- 1:31:48two more Crossroads. As Rose when preparing for a
- 1:31:51third Crossroad Heyman distracted, the referee allowing
- 1:31:54Toccoa to sneak in and perform the Samoan Spike on roads Rings
- 1:31:59finished. The match with another spear on
- 1:32:01Rose dust retaining the titles and also marking the seventh
- 1:32:06time, a heel won. The main event of WrestleMania
- 1:32:08including three in a row for Reigns No, it frickin beautiful.
- 1:32:16I was yelling at my TV screen, I was just throwing things even
- 1:32:22recorded myself because I was like, hey, let's I'm a recorded,
- 1:32:26I'm a record and see what happens.
- 1:32:27You came in here, right? So I just deleted it, whatever?
- 1:32:31Ah, amazing. I mean it was, it was so good,
- 1:32:37but I knew that solo would would come back.
- 1:32:41I just knew it, I didn't see him getting a ejected.
- 1:32:44There's likely he'd somehow going to come back.
- 1:32:47He came back, he came back. Yep the storyline has been like
- 1:32:58I said two plus years. So intricate so much blend it in
- 1:33:01from Dusty and your family and all how much you deeper can this
- 1:33:06story getting how much more can you tell us what?
- 1:33:09This story that you've been telling for so long, would you
- 1:33:12say earlier today, we're in the third inning.
- 1:33:14It's time. This is baseball.
- 1:33:16We're just in the third inning here, man.
- 1:33:18There's so much left to do. We set it for a long time.
- 1:33:21We're just scratching the surface.
- 1:33:23I told y'all I had to be a month after we came back in 2020 at
- 1:33:27SummerSlam. What we're going to change the
- 1:33:29whole game where we're not going to follow suit.
- 1:33:32We're not going to run it. Like Tick-Tock and YouTube.
- 1:33:34Sure. It's where we're going to have
- 1:33:35to expand you. People.
- 1:33:37We're going to have to open up your, you know, your your
- 1:33:39attention span you're going to have to pay attention for longer
- 1:33:41than 20 seconds, y'all because that's what we're doing.

- 1:33:45The same McDonald's. This is in Burger King.
- 1:33:47It's not fast food. We're giving you the good stuff
- 1:33:50and I meant it, and I kept my word.
- 1:33:54Michael sandel for BT Sport. Roman can I just ask what this
- 1:34:00means to you? In terms of historical
- 1:34:02significance? You know, three back-to-back
- 1:34:05wrestlemanias, having these moments making it bigger and
- 1:34:08bigger. You told us earlier this week,
- 1:34:10that you are grinding bloodline. So how satisfying is it for you
- 1:34:14personally to keep delivering these kind of moments?
- 1:34:22This portion of my career has been the most fulfilling, you
- 1:34:25know, if you were to ask me before we started doing this, I
- 1:34:28probably would have, told you, you know, my work with
- 1:34:30Make-a-Wish, my work with Ela less, you know, the charitable
- 1:34:34things were the really fulfilling things apart of this
- 1:34:37job. But I have to, I have to say
- 1:34:40being able to dive deep into this thing, with Paul, to bring
- 1:34:44my family along to lift them up too.
- 1:34:48Put them in a position to Showcase their talents, their
- 1:34:51potential, their superstardom to where we get all the way to the
- 1:34:55point where we Main Event, both nights of WrestleMania.

- 1:35:03now, you can be running Independence, you see what me
- 1:35:07and my family done, I challenge you to outdo us.
- 1:35:11I want somebody to step up. I want somebody to take this
- 1:35:13ball from us. I want somebody to, you know,
- 1:35:16take the spotlight from us, Dom. Take the island of relevancy for
- 1:35:20me, because if you don't we're just going to keep a Chokehold
- 1:35:23on this game. Me and my family, the twins
- 1:35:26solo. The wise man would not taking
- 1:35:30prisoners, man. We're not lying to you.
- 1:35:32We are the best. This isn't a promo, I'm not at,
- 1:35:35you know, I didn't look in the mirror in the shower and come up
- 1:35:38with this stuff. This is as real as it gets in
- 1:35:41the man, I beat tonight. His dad told me that 10 years
- 1:35:44ago, I'm the greatest of all time.
- 1:35:49This WrestleMania, solidifies it.
- 1:35:53It's not just me, that's lifting up.
- 1:35:55I'm not the only Megastar here anymore.
- 1:35:56The whole bloodline is and we got some problems and I felt it
- 1:36:01tonight. Y'all see, I have my little
- 1:36:03social media boy, sent out the tweet.
- 1:36:06My back was against the wall, or what's a tribal to, what's a
- 1:36:09tribal Chief supposed to do, right?
- 1:36:12Lift his family up, just like I did from the beginning.
- 1:36:15We're going to handle some business.
- 1:36:17We're going to sort it out. But we've only begun.
- 1:36:22I'm useless can use the this one more Paul Roman Joe radius
- 1:36:28Associated. Press over here, you're going to
- 1:36:33be on the verge of a thousand days.
- 1:36:35Now it's Champion, not done since Hogan.
- 1:36:39How far can you take this and can anybody stop you at the
- 1:36:42moment? As of right now.
- 1:36:45No nobody can stop me. They thought it was Drew.
- 1:36:49They thought it was Sammy. I thought it was brilliant.
- 1:36:53Thought it was Brock. Thought it was Kevin thought
- 1:36:55that was Kevin thought it was John but it was Edge and Daniel
- 1:36:58Bryan. Thank God.
- 1:36:59You're here because I can't remember them.
- 1:37:00All we don't smash. It was for jobs.
- 1:37:03That's what was John Cena. Yeah.
- 1:37:07What a murderer's row of heavyweights to think about it?
- 1:37:11Who is everyone gone through that roster?
- 1:37:15And then laughed around them again.
- 1:37:20We're just getting started. You're looking at 1,000 as the
- 1:37:23goal. We have that we're sitting here
- 1:37:27tonight. We were really starting to plan
- 1:37:28Wrestlemania 40, we're thinking about 1,000 like 200 days ago,
- 1:37:34you know what I mean. This is simple to us, it's never
- 1:37:37going to stop. Ever.
- 1:37:43Out of the kindness of my heart. One more.

- 1:39:40You know it take his time, you know, and Trash Talk the whole
- 1:39:45time. Yeah of course and we were
- 1:39:49watching it like because my one sister cheating get to see it
- 1:39:54when we all watched it together. And I think he waved at Cody's
- 1:40:02daughter is that girl? That's hilarious.
- 1:40:11I loved it. Alright.
- 1:40:12Brodie. Lee Sun, it was one of them.
- 1:40:14He said, hey how you doing? Hey.
- 1:40:16How you doing? I must destroy this man.
- 1:40:19There's your man. This your man.
- 1:40:21Oh man. So would everyone complaining
- 1:40:27that? They didn't like, the weight has
- 1:40:28ended it kind of set off for the next night on Raw.
- 1:40:33After WrestleMania have destroyed, everyone's
- 1:40:36expectations. Fuck.
- 1:40:39Fucking hell. Hopefully I will have an
- 1:40:42in-depth look at what exactly happened here.
- 1:40:44But Monday has a return of Brock Lesnar which he usually leaves
- 1:40:48at this time for six months. But he ended up staying two team
- 1:40:51with Cody Rhodes. Who wanted to meet rematch at
- 1:40:55this time. What ended up happening though
- 1:40:59was the biggest shock. When Brock Lesnar betrayed, Cody
- 1:41:02Rhodes and really attacked him during the 10 minutes that were
- 1:41:06left of Monday Night Raw. It destroyed everybody, like
- 1:41:13even had you even saw Arrow star.
- 1:41:20In the front row. Like, oh my God, this is crazy.
- 1:41:24Shocked as hell bewildered the star of heels.
- 1:41:28Like, dude, what are you guys doing to him?
- 1:41:31Well, huh, I do, I haven't seen heal so I didn't know who that
- 1:41:36guy was Green Arrow. Oh, Okay, I don't know.
- 1:41:45He was all he also wrestled with you so you know, it's there.
- 1:41:50Okay. What'd you think of that moment
- 1:41:53though? That's crazy.
- 1:41:56That was good. But, you know, it doesn't, it
- 1:41:59does shocked me, but it doesn't because Brock Lesnar is since
- 1:42:06he's a, he's a man for out for his own stuff.
- 1:42:11Any time I've seen him, he's never been like, in a tag team,
- 1:42:14you know? Yeah.
- 1:42:18Wait a minute. Wait why is he teeming with Cody
- 1:42:20is like shit and then you finally see it and like I'll
- 1:42:23come on. It was horrible but I enjoyed
- 1:42:30it. I'll I laughed so hard.
- 1:42:33We even at like even had a somebody screaming little next.
- 1:42:39A miniature dancer 51 stream that that night.
- 1:42:44We like we did tell her what happened.
- 1:42:47But we told her, it's like, alright, I almost there like he
- 1:42:50said. Yeah.
- 1:42:50All right. Go ahead and stream it and we
- 1:42:53want to see your reaction. And so like the camera was on
- 1:42:56her face it's happening. Cody Rhodes gets introduced And
- 1:43:02then he does it. Brock Lesnar, does it?
- 1:43:05And you see many faces just like, oh my god, what the hell
- 1:43:12be in a few others where the chat room just laughing our
- 1:43:16asses off? Because he is just like excited
- 1:43:18for this bet and then you see her face drop like what the

- 1:49:03Just hearing, you know, when you do play-by-play or just talking
- 1:49:07about it, I'm like I really I am back into this because of you
- 1:49:14guys. So thank you, need to talk more

- 1:49:35on this absolutely jam-packed, episode for those that don't
- 1:49:39know. Let them know what you're doing
- 1:49:41on Friday. Hi, I'm going to smack down in
- 1:49:47Portland and then on Monday. Rob will be here in Seattle.
- 1:49:55Okay, so I get to go to. Yeah, I have a wrestling filled
- 1:49:59weekend. We had our resting field.
- 1:50:02We can last week and now you're having your own wrestling for
- 1:50:04the weekend. This weekend is awesome.
- 1:50:07Yeah, you're also going to get a big announcement by Triple H who
- 1:50:10opened to show them one that Ron told everyone not to worry that
- 1:50:14everything is going to be remain the same.
- 1:50:16Yeah, that's what But if you already said that I'm Monday,
- 1:50:26what do you think he's going to say on Friday?
- 1:50:29I don't know. I I mean, maybe he'll give more
- 1:50:34details, maybe he'll still be part of creative.
- 1:50:37I hope he's still part of creative.
- 1:50:39Okay, I've been enjoying Rob more since Vince has been gone
- 1:50:50because it performs like that, you know, I like first of all, I
- 1:50:53think Roz too long, you know, three hours is a lot.
- 1:50:58You know, but watching it because I'll watch it like on
- 1:51:02Hulu. You know, they cut out an hour
- 1:51:05of stuff. Sometimes, it's good and
- 1:51:08sometimes it's bad because they'll cut out like matches
- 1:51:12that you know, you could have watched instead of more talking.
- 1:51:21so Micah, so we'll we'll tape raw, you know, on our DVR and
- 1:51:27then fast-forward through the commercials and half the time
- 1:51:30where like fast-forwarding through the talking So I go
- 1:51:35might as well watch it on Hulu because who, you know, condenses
- 1:51:38it down to two hours. So there's a lot of talking,
- 1:51:44there's more matches but Since Vince was gone, you know it got
- 1:51:51to be more matches less talking. So we'll see.
- 1:51:57Now that Vince is back. Hopefully, he's not part of
- 1:52:00creative as much because I think it was just a lot more wrestling
- 1:52:06on both SmackDown and Raw. Yeah.
- 1:52:11Yeah, but I'm excited. I'm so excited for tomorrow
- 1:52:14though and Monday. So yeah, the last eight months.
- 1:52:18Had been amazing and I want to see it.
- 1:52:21Go ahead and still be amazing. Yeah, you know hopefully with
- 1:52:25this whole new wnuf seagoing coexisting together is going to
- 1:52:32get this data way. Yeah I just wonder if like
- 1:52:38they're going to have more UFC like fighters in the audience
- 1:52:45and use them in stories. That is it Yeah, that's what
- 1:52:49we're hoping for. That's what everybody's hoping
