WWE Raw 4/13/26 Review | CM Punk APOLOGIZES To Roman And Liv Morgan Goes PSYCHO! · Solomonster Sounds Off

  Speaker 1: Well, we have finally made it the final raw before WrestleMania.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: The one thing I'm hoping for in the future is
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that we have no more late April WrestleManias because one
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: thing that I have found in the last few years,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: they can't manage it.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: They can't Matt.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: It is too much time from the Road to the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Rumble until WrestleMania. If they push WrestleMania back two or
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: three weeks, that's two or three extra weeks of television
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: they have to fill and they just they don't know
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: how to do it. They don't know how to stick
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the landing with most of this stuff. That's why it
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: kind of goes over like a lead balloon. So that's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: my hope for the future is that at some point
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania is moved back up to late March early April.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: That's my wish.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: But this was the final raw before WrestleMania forty two
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: this weekend in Las Vegas, the go home show, the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: last chance for them to give the real hard sell
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for the key matches on this show, and the key
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: match on the row side is Roman Reigns challenging Cmpunk
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: for the World Heavyweight Championship. That is your Night two
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: main event, which is coming up on Sunday Night. Now,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: last week, Roman Reigns was not here and Cmpunk went
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: out there and he cut a pipe bomb esque promo
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: where he torched Roman Reigns and then he set fire
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to the Rock and he set fire to Pat McAfee
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and TKO and he was going after everybody in that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: promo last week, right, it was like the CM Punk
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of old, and so tonight they come out at the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: end of the show and cmpunk takes about you know again,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: he takes about seven business days to make his way
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: through the crowd down to the ring. I mean this
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: entrance took forever. I said, boy, I hope, I hope
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he has something really good to say, and he really didn't. Instead,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: he came out and he was very subdued. Last week
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: he was all fired up. Tonight he was very subdued,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and he apologized to Roman Reigns. He apologized in particular
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: for invoking his father's name in that promo all those
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, which is what Jay Usso wanted him to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: do the entire time. He just wanted him to apologize,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and Punk couldn't bring himself to do it, so tonight
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: he finally apologized and it was menave shout out to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Manaf in the chat. I saw it before, just before
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I went live, and it cracked me up. He goes,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: we are now living on Monday like Friday nights. We're
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: living in the ruthless depression eraw okay, because SmackDown his garbage.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But now tonight here on.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Raw, we're living in the ruthless affection era where apparently
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you come out and you pledge your respect and how
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: envious you are of the other person. That's what it
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: felt like here. It felt like a therapy session for
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: ce I'm Punk. In the closing segment of Raw, it
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: felt like a guy who last week knew that the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: other guy wasn't there, and so he decided to just
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: go all out.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: He was just fucking torching this guy who's tearing him down,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and he was insulting him in his appearance and all
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of these different things. But then this week, right, Daddy's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: home and so now we have to be on our
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: best behavior and we have to apologize to Daddy for
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: all the horrible things that we've said about him in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the past. That's what it kind of felt like to me,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it felt like he was backing down. He felt very
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: subdued in this promo and then Roman said, what Roman,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You would expect Roman Reigns to say, where you know?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: He said that, you know.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: We're going to take it all back at WrestleMania and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the Tribal Chief is going to be the champion again
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and again. You can fill in the blank. It was
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: pretty paint by number stuff, a very underwhelming close to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the show. The best thing I could say about it
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is that it wasn't SmackDown. It wasn't SmackDown. And also
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we didn't get the tug of war with the belt
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that we had with Roman and Brock all those years ago.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Beyond that, it was a promo that happened on the show.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: There were several of them. But I have to say,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: now that we are finally here, we can look back
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: at everything that we've gotten from these men, and I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: can honestly tell you that the best part of this
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it peaked that first raw coming out of the Royal Rumble.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: After Roman won the Rumble and he announced that he
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: was going to go after the World Heavyweight championship, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: we had that first face to face with him and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: cm Punk. It was all downhill from there, right. There
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: were some weeks where it was like, all right, this
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: is not bad, and then there were some weeks where
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it was like, man, this ain't that good.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: But we never quite.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Reached the peak of that first exchange that they had
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: on Run, and that was the beginning of February. We
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: are now in mid April, so they were never quite
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: able to reach that apex. But they took it home
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: tonight where Punk wanted to just let the world know
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that he was envious of Roman reigns.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: He's jealous.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: He's jealous that he wasn't born into a wrestling dynasty.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know, he cut his teeth on the independent scene.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: He had to work his way up to where he
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: is today. And Roman, of course, is just like, well,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I don't really give a shit about any of this.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: It's about time we get back to business and we
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: get the belt on somebody who's actually going to make
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: money for this company. And those were the closing comments.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Very interesting though. The Roman was using the word we
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we we take it back. Is this we that he
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is referring to, is he referring to the family, is
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: he referring to something else? Is there something else going
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: on here?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Last week it was all about the back and forth
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: with CM Punk and Pat McAfee to the point where
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you would think that they were having a match at
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Wrestle Media.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I am not.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Convinced that McAfee is not going to tie into both
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of these main events this weekend. I'm not convinced that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that's not what we're going to see in Las Vegas.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That has me very concerned. So that was a final
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: bit of business there between Roman and Punk. Not great,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: not great, not terrible, but not great, very underwhelming. But actually,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you know what else I could say about it, I'll
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: give it another little bit of praise here. At least
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: they didn't have a pull up bar barowl. We've had
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of those lately. We could have easily had
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: another one here at the end of the show. They
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: resisted the.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Urge, so that was good.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: But we had on this show brock Lesnar and Oba Femi.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Now last week they were supposed to have a contract signing.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: The contract never got signed. That's how the show went
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: off the air. Last week, it was just mask as
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: he took about a.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Pull apart brawl.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: We got a pull apart brawl at the end of
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the show last week tonight, they said, okay, we're gonna
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: have each man come out individually, so we're not gonna
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: have them in the ring at the same time. So
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it was brock lesnar first at the beginning of the show,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of course, because we got to get him the hell
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: out of here. We didn't see him again for the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: rest of the night. He signed the contract, instantly, made
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: one comment and then left. Not bad for one night's work.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Oba came out later, and honestly, this was the first
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: real test for Obafemi on the microphone here on the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: main roster, and I thought he passed it with flying colors.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I thought that he acquitted himself very well. And you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of course, it's gotta be a little nerve racking because
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you got your boss standing right there in the ring.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Of course, so Levec is standing there in the corner
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: watching all of this. But he cut a promo and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: again Brock was not out there, so he couldn't go
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: eye to eye with Brock, but Paul Hayman was and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: again I thought that he did what needed to be done.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: He let it be known that there's an a new
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: guy in town. I'm that guy. I'm the guy that's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: gonna do what nobody else has been able to do.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'm the guy that's gonna put down brock Lesner. He's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: going to make a statement at WrestleMania that Obafemi has arrived.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Heah.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: The thing with Oba is, you know, especially when he
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: gets going and he really starts to get all fired
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: up and into the promo, He's got that booming voice
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: where he just commands the room, and I think that
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: will do him well. So for somebody who really had
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to send it home one last promo here, I don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: think they really had to sell I don't think he
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: or Brock had to sell a lot of people on
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: their match. I would wager to bet that most people
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: are probably looking at that match as the one they
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: are most looking forward to at WrestleMania. Not everybody, but
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would say that's the match,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and it just so happens that that's the match. That's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the one match in this entire WrestleMania build up that
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: they have not fucked up. They have not made one
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: misstep with anything that they have done with brock Lesner
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and Obafemi up to this point, which is a amazing
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: when you look at some of the shit that they've
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: done with some of the other matches, including their main events.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So that's going to be a very important match for
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: him this weekend, and it's also going to be airing
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: on ESPN, first time that WrestleMania is ever airing on ESPN.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And that's the match they're opening Night two with on Sunday.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: That match and the Women's World Championship match between Stephanie
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Vaquierre and Live Morgan Live Morgan tonight. Holy shit, this
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: woman came out here and she was like a demon possessed. Okay,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: forget Demon Balor, Okay, we had Demon Live on the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: show tonight. She was far scarier than Demon Balor. This
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: woman's eyes were basically bugging out of her head as
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: she was just threatening to murder this woman. And why
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: not after what Stephanie did to her last week? We
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: didn't see Roxanne Perez on the show tonight. Hopefully she's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: doing well. The very scary moment last week with the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: two of them backstage, but that match is happening. There
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: was no, you know, indication even over the last few
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: days it was any real jeopardy of not happening, but
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: there was some question, you know, that maybe they were
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: in concussion protocol and we saw the big lump on
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Liv's head.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: But she's fine.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Not only is she fine, but we got a live
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Morgan music video which I first saw earlier today, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they are the entire thing during Raw.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And what I will say is that it was.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: It was a video that had music, and I guess
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll hear it on was it Sunday Saturday? I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: don't even know which. I think it's Saturday, whichever night
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: their matches. It was a video that had music in it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know they made music videos anymore. I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: thought they just stopped doing music videos altogether. It just
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: seems so pass a to me. And then we had
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a two and a half minute music video on this show,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: something that will not be on the show at least
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: still as of this moment, very disappointed. I was holding
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: out hope. I had my fingers crossed. But then again
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I was holding out hope for Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and we all know how that turned out. But we
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: have seven matches on Saturday, we have six on Sunday,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and both women had cut promos on each other. Last week,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: EO had mentioned Las Vegas. The hope was that we
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: would get a match announced tonight for WrestleMania with Eosky
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and Oscar. That did not happen, which tells me that
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: they are still waiting to see what is going to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: happen with Nikki Bella as far as the women's tag
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: team title matches concerned, which I think if that's the reason,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just think that's completely ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: If that's the.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Reason why we may not get that match this weekend,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: of all the reasons that you could come up with,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that is just complete bullshit. But that's the impression that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I get out of this. Otherwise they would have announced
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: something and there's still time. But yeah, it's not looking good.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It's not looking good, and I just think that's such
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a that's just such a disappointment to go from, you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: someone who had what I felt was the match of
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the year last year to not having any match at all.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: And even in the storyline, you know, they're talking about
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: her as if she's just Riha's literally calling her Rhea's sidekick,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and it cuts deep because it's a burn because it's true.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: That's exactly how she's been booked. That's exactly how it
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: comes off at She's nothing more than just a side
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: piece in someone else's story and that's not really the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: role that Eosky should be or and look Osca too,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I mean Oscar not being on the WrestleMania card.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Is is terrible too.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: But I don't know that there was a story for
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: those two with Kyrie and everything. It was right there
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and to get the big payoff of WrestleMania and I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I just don't get it. I don't
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: get it. How is the wind tag team title match
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: more important?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: You have an actual story that has been developed here
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: in this relationship, this toxic relationship with Oscar and EO
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: or Oscar and Kyrie, And I don't know, I don't
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: understand the logic behind it. But that was really the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: key stuff on the show. And oh, by the way,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the MFTs not only made a cameo on the show tonight,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: they wrestled on the show tonight. Yep, I had to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: do a double take just to make sure I was
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: watching the right show. They don't even have a match
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: on the wrestle Media card they're on SmackDown on Friday night,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: but they are not on the wrestle Media card. Let's
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: talk about this show. This is your Monday Night Raw
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: on Netflix.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Review.

• 12:57
  Speaker 1: twenty six.

• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to be live on this channel until WrestleMania. So let's
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: let's make it a good one. Subscribe like we're gonna
• 13:10

  Speaker 1: the SoundOff this weekend as well.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Sound Off Episode nine, big episode.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Covered a lot of ground there. And tomorrow, of course,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: is The Uncrowned Wrestling Show, where I will be reviewing Dynasty.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I have not had the chance to talk about Dynasty.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I will be doing that for the first time tomorrow
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: on The Uncrowned Wrestling Show, and we'll talk WrestleMania and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: some other news and notes.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: So a lot of.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Content coming your way. This wheel is coming your way.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Let's take this for a spin. Instantly thought of Solemn
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Manser when the MFTs appeared. I'm sure a lot of
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: people did. Four hundred and seventy five likes is the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: goal for tonight. We are at three twenty seven, so
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: we're pretty close already. I mean, four to seventy five
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: should be pretty easy. With the fourteen hundred plus in
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: here and climbing. This is gonna be the only chance
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: we have to do be the booker this week until
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Wrestle Matias. So let's see what you guys can do.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: But let's get into this show here. We started right
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: at the very beginning. We had the cold open. Raw
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: has a cold open every week. There's really no proper
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: intro for this show anymore. So we had the cold
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: open with a pre tape promo from Roman Reigns, who
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: was on the show tonight. But we got a pre
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: tape promo and we got a live promo.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Kind of.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't really have a whole lot to say,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: but here he said that when he won the Royal Rumble,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: he told CM punk to enjoy the relevancy that he
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: had left. He did exactly what he thought he would.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: He lied, He tried to revise all of Roman's history.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: But the thing is the fan base. They've lived through
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it all and Punk did. What Punk did was expose
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: himself as a hypocrite. And so what they did here
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: in this video is they played footage old footage of
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: CM Punk from many years ago, and then they spliced
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: in more recent comments from him, comments from last week,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: comments from when he first came back to the company
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: three years ago. So in this case, we had Punk
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: telling Roman you can't get things done on your own.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: You always have to use your family, right, your cousins.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Then we see footage of the Shield's debut, this was
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: twenty twelve, and Punk at the time saying I had
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the Shield showing up at Survivors series.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I have nothing to do with any of this stuff.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: But then they show footage of Punk a few weeks
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: ago on Raw telling Roman that I brought you in
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the Shield into this company. Punk claimed that he didn't
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: surround himself with wise men or yes men. Then they
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: showed Paul Hayman by his side over all these years.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: They showed a shot of the straight Edge Society. No
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: shot of the New Nexus. You know when he cut
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: that pipe on promo in twenty eleven, that was when
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: he was the leader of the New Nexus.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: They didn't show the New Nexus.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Punk saying that I'm not here to make friends, I'm
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: here to make money. Writ that comment he made in
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: that first promo when he came back to the company.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Then they showed shots of him being very friendly with
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: various members of the roster, mostly female members. But yes,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: he's very friendly now he's a friendly chat. Punk claimed
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: that the company treated him like a dog, and then
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: they showed highlights of him as the champion for four
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four day, so you get the picture. Here,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: they showed Pat McAfee's comments about Punk taking the money
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to go to Saudi Arabia, so Roman said it's embarrassing.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: He likes Pat McAfee, but never has a punter ran
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: his mouth about him. Nobody believed in Punk because it's
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: not twenty twelve anymore, he says, Roman doesn't lie. That's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: why people trust him. Tonight, either Punk will tell the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: truth or he will. And he ended the promo with
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: my name is Roman Rains and I approved this message.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: So playing off what Punk said. He said the same
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: thing at the end of his promo last week. So
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Roman agrees with McAfee. That was my interesting little takeaway there.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: He agrees with Pat McAfee, and again it could mean nothing.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I go back to what he was saying at the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: end of the show about we right, we take it
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: back this weekend, and you know, my fear is that
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we're going to see McAfee if not McAfee and Randy
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Orton involved, not just in Night one main events stuff,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: but potentially also Night two. If in fact, there is
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: this idea for there to be something bigger, for there
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to be some sort of new supergroup in this company.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe, just because, if the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: reports are to be believed, this is something that came
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: about not all that long ago. It was sort of
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: foisted upon them by TKO and Ari Emanuel. Find a
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: way to work this guy into the storyline so that
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: we can hype up WrestleMania and so that we could
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: sell more tickets. Not that this was necessarily intended to
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: be something that was going to be the new top
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: story in the company that's going to carry them through
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the summer. Right, or through the rest of the year.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: And also I question how often we're going to be
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: seeing people like Roman Reigns around once WrestleMania comes and goes. Now,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: if Roman goes to WrestleMania and wins the championship, then yeah,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have to say. I would certainly hope we're
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: gonna be seeing him on a more regular basis. I'm
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: not convinced of that. So I point these things out
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: because maybe it means nothing, but it is something I noticed.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Then there is if you want a fantasy book, this
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: out in your head. I don't know that people are
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: necessarily going to be super excited about some sort of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: TKO versus WWE storyline, But to me, it doesn't even
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: work because the people that would be the engine to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: make that work, I'm not convinced they're even going to
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: be around much after WrestleMania, So like what or at
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: least backlash maybe, But you know what are we looking at?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: If those people aren't around, how does that story even work?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: How do you even begin to make that work unless
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: these people are consistently on the show every single week.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: To me, that's where it falls short. Now we cut
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: live to the Arena, Adam Pierce and Paulavecker in the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: ring for another attempt at a contract signing with Brocklesnw
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Obafemi in advance of their match at WRESTLEMANI. Of course,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: it broke down into chaos at the end of the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: show last week and nothing got signed. So Pierce said,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: they've determined, or they are determined to make sure this
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: match happens. What they've decided to do is that we're
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: gonna have each man sign the contract separately. Paul Haman
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: walked out. He introduced brock Lesner, who got in the ring.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: He immediately signed the contract. Hayman said that it may
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: well be a Nigerian death warrant, it may as well
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: be for Obafemi. Lesner swiped the microphone out of Hayman's
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: hand and said, we won't even know your name. We're
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: not even gonna know Obafemi's name. After Sunday, Hayman gave
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: us a spoiler for what he called the real WrestleMania
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: main event. Brock Lesner will win and Obafemi will lose. Oh,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: he gave us the spoiler. Not good, but that was it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: That was it. It was as basic a segment as
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you can ask for. Brock put his cowboy hat on,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he left. We never saw him again for the rest
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: of the show. See on Sunday.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: He did his job. He's going home for the week.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Footage aired of Logan Paul and Austin Theory with I
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: show Speed. They were in a I don't know if
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: they were at the performance center or they were in
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a gym somewhere. There was a ring behind them. So
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: they were about to have a training session. So they're
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: trying to get Speed excited, like, dude, look, nobody likes you. Okay,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: everybody hates you. You hit La Night, all these things
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: have been going wrong. Like you're in it. Whether you
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: like it or not, you're in it. So you got
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to embrace it. You gotta get used to it. So
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: they got him all hyped up, and they showed him
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: training in the ring, and he got the better of
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: some developmental wrestlers. I saw Malik Blade, I saw Dante Chen.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: He was in there. I think he was the one
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: who Speed put in the Boston Crab.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I believe. So. By the end of this Speed was like,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I'm ready, Yeah, I'm ready.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: For WRESTLEMANI he was all pumped up and you could tell, like,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you know, he did a big moon salt landed on
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: his feet off the top rope. I'm sure we're gonna
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: see some stuff from him that people are gonna go
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: like wow. You know, because he's an athletic guy. He
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: can move around. So if I think if they keep
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: him limited in limited doses, he could do some fun
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: stuff and some impressive stuff in the match. That's fine.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a six man tag. He doesn't have
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to shoulder the burden all by himself. But by the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: end of this he seemed to be confident. He's no
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: longer afraid. So that match is kicking off Night one. Yeah,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: we look back on some of the great all time
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: opening matches in WrestleMania history. Of course, the first one
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that always comes to mind for me Bret the Hitman
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Hard against Owen Hart WrestleMania ten, Daniel Brynt in Triple
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: H WRESTLEMANI at thirty, and now we have the usso's
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: in La Night against the Vision and I Show Speed
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: at WrestleMania forty two. Actually there was another great opening
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: match too, I have to give credit to I believe
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: it was at WrestleMania at thirty four. The four way
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: for the Intercontinental Championship was it balor Rollins miss And
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I don't remember who the fourth one was, but I
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: do remember that match being an excellent match. But who knows,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: maybe this will go down in the history books as
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the best of them all. I wouldn't be placing any
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: monetary bets on that. Charlotte Flair went one on one
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: with Lyra Valkyria here on this show. I thought they
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: had a good one for the time it lasted. I
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: think this one about ten minutes. Charlotte went up for
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a moon salt landed it only got two. Lyra blocked
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: a natural selection. She got a Fisherman buster for two
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: kind of her own. Charlotte tossed Lyra into Bailey because
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Bailey was outside, Alexa Bliss was outside, and Charlotte avoided
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a kick. She rolled Lyra up, and then Bailey yanked
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: on Charlotte's leg and Lyra fell backwards onto her in
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: some sort of pinning predicament here, not really a roll
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: up so much, but she got the pin on Charlotte,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: and Charlotte was furious when this was over that Bailey
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: interfered and reached in and grabbed her leg, so they
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: got in a shoving match. All four women now were
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: in the ring, and then cooler heads prevailed. We did
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: not see the tag team champions here where there was
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: no appearance from Nya, Jax and Lash legend, and there
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: was no uh oh yeah, maybe it was a triple threat?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Was it a triple threat? At WrestleMania thirty four? For
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: some reason, I thought it was okay, it was a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: triple threat. I thought it was a four way. But
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I got all the names right, I got all look
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: at that?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: How about that? See?
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: And you all think I don't like any mismatches a WrestleMania.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: See you think you know me, but you don't. You
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: only think you do. No Naya and Lash and no
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Bella Twins. The situation where the Bella Twins has not changed.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Nicki Bella has a fucked up ankle, it's a bed sprain,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and she is not yet medically cleared, so that whole
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: situation is in limbo. And again I look at this,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and I go, if this is having an effect on
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: any other match that might be added to the card,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: because they might want to swap a different team in
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: to replace them. I don't understand what the big deal is.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Either Nicki Bella can go or she can't. But if
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the Bellas can't go, you just take the Bellas out
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: and you turn it into a triple threat. I don't
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: see what's so complicated about this. I certainly hope that's
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: not the reason that we're not getting EO and osca
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: a WrestleMania because of that. Again, if that's the reason,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: that's a stupid reason. But I will say, uh, I
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: did my wrestle many of predictions yesterday and I said
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I was going with Bailey and Lyra to win, and
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I'll stick with that for now. But Little's confident in that.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: After Lyra got the win over Charlotte, Little les confident.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Backstage La Night and the Ussos were confronted I shit
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you not by Solo Socoa and the motherfucking Teas. Yes,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the MFTs and Solo Socoa. They wandered over. You know,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: we have this back rooms movie coming out of those
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of you familiar with the back rooms right, we have
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a backrooms movie feature film from A twenty four. It's
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: coming out on May twenty ninth. I'm very excited. I'm
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: gonna be I will be seated as they say, I'll
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: be in the movie theater watching that movie. And I
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: feel like with Solo, Socoa and the mft's like if
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: you saw the trailer for the back Rooms movie, the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: guy sees a little like crack in the wall and
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: he's able to walk through the wall and he ends
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: up in the back rooms, which is a little bit
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: different than the way the back rooms usually work, but
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: in the trailer that's what they show, and I kind
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: of feel like they're in the backstage area at SmackDown
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and they walk through a wall and they end up
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: on Raw, And that's how the mft's arrived on Raw tonight.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: They fell into the back rooms like Raw is the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: back rooms, and they went from they passed from SmackDown
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: to Raw like like a fucking portal. Why are they here?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Like I'm looking at this going why are they here?
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Why are they on the show?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I had to do a.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Double take to make sure I wasn't accidentally rewatching SmackDown,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: because nobody should ever be doing that. They walk up
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: and they confront La Knight in the usas Solo says,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you know, he's been dealing with a lot on SmackDown
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: he's been dealing with a lot of stuff. Yeah, we've
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: all been dealing with a lot of stuff on smack Down.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: But the usos make the family look bad by hanging
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: out with La Knight. La Knight then challenged them to
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: a six man tag team match so he could smack
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: them back to factory settings. I wish we could do
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that to SmackDown. Is there a button that we could
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: push on Fridays to reset smack Down back to factory
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: settings and start all over again, because I would like
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to do that. Yes, they clipped the MFTs accidentally clipped
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: into the frame here on raw. Oh man, So we
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: had the women's world champion.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, this was interesting.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: We had the women's world champion, Stephanie Viquier, who nearly
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: killed two people last week. Very impressive. She took out
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: two people with one shot. That's a hard thing to do.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: She made her way out to the ring for an
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: interview with Kathy Kelly, and before Kathy could really ask much,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a crazed Live Morgan hit the ring from behind and
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: attacked Stephanie Vicaire. And if you look closely, because her
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: hair was kind of blocking her face, but if you
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: look closely at her forehead, Livestill had. I couldn't tell
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: if it was quite as pronounced. It probably wasn't quite
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: as bad as it was last week. That giant knot
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: that was right on her forehead from when her skull
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: collided with Roxanne skull last week with very scary, a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: sickening thud. So she had a little bit of a
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: black and blue bump on her forehead. But she tackles
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Stephanie and they had to be pulled apart. Another pull apart,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: so they had to be pulled apart. And when she
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: attacked her initially, when she attacked Stephanie, Kathy Kelly got
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: bumped and Kathy Kelly fell to the mat. So Kathy
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: for the first time took a bump and she went
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: down and she was crying, and she was laying in
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the corner, and nobody.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Was helping Kathy Kelly.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: She just laid there for several minutes while the officials
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: tried to separate Stephanie and Live, and Live is screaming
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: like a banshee and there and they're trying to get
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: her away and she is just completely out of her mind.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: She she is screaming bloody murder. I said her eyes
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: looked like they were bulging out of her skull. I
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: saw somebody said that she looked like Gollum or something.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, she looked, she know, she looked like she
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: looked like she hadn't slept since raw last week. So
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: she just looked like a crazy person out there, and
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: she looked very scary. And as she was being dragged
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: away again, the camera is right in front of her
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: face and she's looking up at Stephanie in the ring. Actually,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: let me back up a little bit here, because this
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't even the whole thing. So Stephanie initially was the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: one who was being pulled away from.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: The ringside area.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Liv gets on the mic and she says, I knew
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: your mother was trash, but I I didn't know that she.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Raised a little bitch.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: And that brought Stephanie back into the ring and the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: brawl continued, and then eventually Lived was the one who
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: got pulled away. So the parting shot was Live in
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the aisle being pulled away, just staring a hole in
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Stephanie and screaming and losing her fucking mind. And I
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I like this. I like this a lot. Now,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna do another pull apart brawl. We've seen
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a dozen of these. If you're gonna do them, you
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: at least have to try to make a different in
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: some way, make it intense. I just got done watching
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure many of you saw it as well,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the best pull apart brawl that I have seen in years,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and it happened on a show that neither of these
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: men are even on the WrestleMania card this weekend. It
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: was from the Triple A Show on Saturday with Elgrande
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Americano Kaiser and Elgrande Americano Gable. Just a tremendous piece
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: of business that had more heat than anything on the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania card.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Legit. And so if you're going to do that sort of.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Pull apart brawl, make it mean something. Make it so
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: that it really looks like these two people want to
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: fucking tear each other to shreds, and holy shit, like
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: they better keep these two apart. That's the vibe you
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: got from watching this that it has gotten deeply personal
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: with the insults, all the comments that have been made,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and then of course what happened to lives Head last
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: week and now she's just completely just gone off the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: deep end. You know, they made the most of it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: They made the most of the pull apart. I thought
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: that this was very enjoyable. Poor Kathy, she had to
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: be helped to the back. She was crying on her
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: way to the back. She did well, she did I'm
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: sure she was very excited for her big moment tonight.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: She didn't have to do much. She just had to
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: fall down. But she did well. And we got an
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: update later from Michael Cole that she's fine.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: She's going to be just fine.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: There are people who are genuinely concerned on my timeline
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: that she might have gotten hurt. I was like, well,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: she's that convincing. She's fine, people, there's nothing wrong with Kathy.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Kathy is fine. But this match at WrestleMania. You know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: when I look at the build up to all of
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the different matches on these two shows, I'm not going
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to say Live in Stephanie has had the best build up.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I still think that belongs to Brock and Oba, but
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: this one's up there. You know, the stuff that they've
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: done in recent weeks and how personal it feels like
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: it's gotten between these two. They've done a better job
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: on this match than they have most of the other
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: matches on the card, you know to where I am.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing these two get in the
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: ring and tear each other apart. So they've done a
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: good job with this. Now we see eclipse of Jade
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Cargill beating EO Sky, painting her right in the middle
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: of the ring. On SmackDown Friday Night, Jackie Redman is
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: in the back with EO Sky and she asks her
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: if she has anything to say after Friday Night. She said,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: no one will be rooting for Rhea more than she will.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Osca and Kyrie sayin they come up, and Oscar says
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: that last year, Eo walked into WrestleMania as the defending
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Champion. This year she's walking into WrestleMania as
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Rhea's sidekick. And again that cut deep because where's the lie? Right,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: as the Great Bobby Fish would say, where's the lie?
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: That's one hundred percent fact, That's exactly what it is.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: That's the situation she finds herself in. It's disgraceful to
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: go from having the kind of match that she had
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: last year and you can't even find a place for
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: this woman on the card this year. You got two nights.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: You have two nights. She's probably the best wrestler in
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the entire company. Doesn't even have a match on the show,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: not even important enough to make sure that there is
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: a match carved out for her out of a card
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: that will have at least thirteen and you couldn't find
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: a spot for her on the card. It's disgraceful. So
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Oscar said that Kyrie. Now EO is again trying to
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: just plead with Kyrie here. You don't need her. She's
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: trying to like get through to this woman. And Oscar said,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Kyrie is loyal to her. Sendpie and she'll prove it
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: tonight against EO. And this caught Kyrie off guard. But
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: she stepped up to EO and she said, right, send Pie, Sendpi,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: being you know, Oscar is her senior or her mentor.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: So we got EO and Kyrie.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: We did not get the match that we thought we
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: would get this weekend, but tonight we got EO and Kyrie.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: But before that we had another match. We had La
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Knight the USOS taking on Solo Socoa, J C. Matteo
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: and Tonga Loa Talatanga was out there on the floor
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: in their corner. They were down one mft. There was
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: no Tomatanga to be found. Solo Sokoa had the dreaded
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Samoan nerve hold. When they came back from commercial. He
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: had the Samoan nerve hole right there applied on jay
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Uso Yoko Zuna used to use that move all the time.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: So Solo was I mean, this match didn't even go
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: three or four full minutes. Solo was on the floor
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: outside when all of a sudden, Tomatonga shows up. He's
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: just casually walking I guess, out of the crowd through
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: the time keeper's area. Solo looks over and goes, where
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the hell have you been? Where the hell have you been?
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: And Tama is just standing there. And now Talatanga comes
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: over and Talatoga is staring at Tomatonga. A lot of
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Tonga's here, So as all of this is going on
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: inside the ring, poor Tanga Loa is caught with a
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: BFT and pinned by La Night. And maybe that's the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: biggest story of all, is that La Night actually got
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: to win here on Monday Night Raw riveting stuff. I'm
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: not sure why we needed to bring this to Raw
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: when the MFTs forget the factor on SmackDown. They don't
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: even have a match at WrestleMania. We know they have
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: a match coming up with the Wyatt six, a street
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: fight coming up on Friday Night, but this is your
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: final hard sell for WrestleMania, So the focus really should
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: be on the people that are in the matches that
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: are on the WrestleMania card this weekend from Monday Night Raw,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and instead they brought people over from SmackDown who aren't
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: even on the fucking show. So I am I'm just
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: wondering why the hell this had to take place on
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Raw tonight. It is pretty clear that Tomatonga or Solo Soucoa,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: one of the two are on their way out of
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: his crew very soon. If it's going to be Solo,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: then it would mean that the collective would be kicking
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: him out. I don't know if that's going to happen,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: but you know, they brought up Shinsky Nakamora on commentary
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: because he's been trying to get through to Tomatonga. You
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: don't need to hang out with these guys. He's like
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: trying to pull them away from his family. I don't
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: know where this is headed. I don't know if this
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: is leading to some sort of new group that's going
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: to be formed with Tomatonga and Shinsky, Nakimora and someone else.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the endgame is here, and I
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: wish I could tell you that I was more interested
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to find out, but I'm really not because the way
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: they've told this story, and the way they tell stories
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: in a lot of cases when it comes especially to
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the mid card angles and feuds, it's just not compelling,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: you know. And when I say compelling, you know you
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: know the way that you know, Paula vac He likes
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: to drag these stories out. And look, long term storytelling
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: is one thing, but the way some of this stuff
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: gets dragged out over such an extended period of time time,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the risk you run is that if you're not dealing
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: with interesting source material, if you don't and you don't
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: pay it off relatively quickly, people are going to lose interest.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: And you can't tell me that there's a shit ton
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: of people who are terribly interested to see how this
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: whole MFTs thing is going to play out, because they
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: really haven't given you a reason to care all that
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: much about any of these people. But again, I'm watching
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: this like why am I seeing this on.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: A raw.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Can we leave this on SmackDown please? With the lantern
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: and everything else that's been happening. So they replayed the
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: terrible Speaking of SmackDown, we went from the MFTs to
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: a replay highlights of the terrible Pat McAfee segment with
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Pat and Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton and Jelly Roll
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: from SmackDown on Friday nights for those of you who
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: wish to relive this yet again. By the way, for
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: all the talk about Pat McAfee going out there and
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: delivering the great news that, thanks to Ram Trucks, the
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: sponsor of WrestleMania, if you buy a WrestleMania ticket from
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: then until the end of Raw tonight, so the deal
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: is over now or maybe a midnight it is, I
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: don't know, but twenty five percent off all WrestleMania Saturday
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: tickets from Friday night until the end of Raw tonight.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: And for all the talk about this big ticket promotion,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: and that was Pat McAfee's massive surprise that he was
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: promising for smack that on Friday they sold a whopping
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: twelve hundred or so tickets more, I believe for WrestleMania Saturday.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: They actually moved more tickets for WrestleMania Sunday, which did
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: not have the ticket discount, than they did for WrestleMania Saturday.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Read into that what you will? I mean, hey, I
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: thought this angle would supposed to draw in all these fans, right,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: all the people who were defending this shit. And there
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: are people defending this shit. Where where's all the interest?
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, they should have saw they should have moved
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: a few thousand tickets at least. Doesn't seem like it worked.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: And now the deal is over, let's they extended again.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I think the number was like twelve to fifty, twelve
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty tickets. So what they go from thirty
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: nine hundred to maybe uh thirty one hundred and thirty
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: nine thousand to forty thousand, maybe forty one? Yeah, good job.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: So we heard a Gunther's music. The ring general makes
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: his way out to the ring and before he could
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: say a word, he gets jumped by seth Rawlins. So
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: we go right into Thankfully it wasn't a pull apart.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Nobody came out to separate them. They just allowed them
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: to fire. They picked and choose who they allowed to fight.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: You could tell like who they see as the really
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: truly important figures on these shows based upon how quickly
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: they send people out their agents out there to break
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: them up. And they didn't do that here, but they
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: were going at it for a little bit. And Rollins
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: knocks Guntherer out of the ring and he grabs a
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: mic and he says that was Gunther's receipt and in
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: six nights of WrestleMania, Rollins is going to finish the job.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: So he said, if this is personal for you, you
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: talk about how it's personal, Well, if it's personal for you,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: then you should walk back down to this ring, and
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: you should tell me why. Tell me why you want
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to fight me at WrestleMania, tell me why. I thought
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: he was going to break into song here, but I
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: guess they were saving that for liv Morgan later. He
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: should have started singing. Actually, that actually would have been
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: very entertaining for me. Well, I'll spare you. So Gunher
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: walks back down to the ring. I'm like, okay, it
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: looks like we're actually going to get some kind of
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: explanation here. We never really did get a real explanation
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: for why he attacked Rollins. All those weeks ago. We
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: know of this favor that he is expecting from Paul
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Hayman at some point, but beyond that, you know, he
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: talks about how personal it is, and it's like, all right, well,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you say that, but you haven't really demonstrated
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: to us exactly what makes it so personal. So let's
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: see what he has to say. So Gunh gets into
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the ring and he confesses that he is solving Paul
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Hayman's problem because Seth is pissing him off.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: For years.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Seth has been strutting around and I'm like, like a peacock.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: He should have said like a peacock, but he's been
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: strutting around like he's the best in the world inside
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the ring, He's the best in the ring, in this company,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: in the world. And he goes, you're not I am.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: And when Gunther was World heavyweight Champion, he said, instead
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: of Rollins seeking out the highest level of competition, he
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: became a useful idiot for Paul Hayman. So WrestleMania is
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: personal for him to expose that Seth Rollins can't lace
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: his boots, and Gunher gave him a bit of a
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: head butt, not like a full on head butt, kind
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: of brushed his head up against Seth and gave him
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: a little nudge, and the two of them came to blows.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Gunh tried to power bomb him, Rollins landed on his feet.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: He kicked Gunther out of the ring. Gunher was kind
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: of hunched over by the ring steps outside and Rollins
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: came in. He was going to stomp him on the steps,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: and Gunther avoided it narrowly at the very last second,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: and he retreated into the crowd. I appreciate them giving
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: us an actual reason why these two were having a
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: mat of WrestleMania. I didn't think we were going to
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: get one beyond what we heard a couple of weeks ago.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: So I like the fact that they Lea's offered some
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: sort of rationale. We have two wrestlers who each believe
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: that they are the best in the world, and what
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: we are going to get at WrestleMania is a wrestling
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: match between these two to find out which one of
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: them is the best in the world. Now, look, there's
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Gunther going around saying, oh, well, this is personal, this
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: is personal for me realistically, right, there's no history there.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: There's only so much they can really do there's only
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: so much they can really come up with for a
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: personal explanation. This is not personal the fact that you
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: pissed me off because I think I'm the best wrestler
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: in the world and you say you're the best wrestler.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: So let's find out who the like. That's not a
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: personal issue, like it's all bullshit, But they at least tried, right,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: They wanted you They wanted to demonstrate why Gunther was
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: so annoyed with Seth Rollins and why he takes personal offense.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: And so here we are now we have a match
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: between them a WrestleMania, But that's not really a personal issue, right,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: that's not really I mean, we've seen some persal issues
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: before even building up to this WrestleMania. Things have got
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: really personal some of the comments Punk and Roman, you
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: know that they've made to each other, and that's not
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: really what this is. But they had to at least
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: try to explain it. They did the best they could.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, this could be the
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: sleeper match of the weekend. You have Gunther and Seth Roland,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: truly two of the best in the entire company. They're
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: going to go out there and have a wrestling match,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: a WrestleMania. I'm expecting this to be excellent. Fine by me.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: It's really all it needs to be two guys who
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: want to prove they're the better wrestler. It's a simple concept.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Personal is not a word I would use to describe it.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: We got a teaser for the return of the Demon.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: They couldn't wait. They wanted you to know the Demon
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: was going to be a WrestleMania so they could sell tickets.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: So they spoiled it even though they basically, I mean
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: they all but told us last week, but then later
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: that night on social media they literally had like the
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Demon on the poster.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: They didn't waste any time.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: They're like, hey, we got to sell some tickets here,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: so let's go ahead and promote the Demon. So, yes,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: the Demon is going to be wrestling Dirty dom So
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Dominic was backstage with Adam Pierce and he was very
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: angry about this, and he complained to Pierce and you know,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Finn had told him the Demon was dead and he
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: signed to face Finn Balor. He didn't sign up for this.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: He didn't sign up for a match with the Demon.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Pierce says, look, Raymisterio, he deserves to be in the
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: match that he's in at WrestleMania. He's going to be
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: wrestling for the interconfidental title. You deserve to be in
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: the match that you're in at WrestleMania. So the match
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: is not being changed. I didn't think it was going
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: to be, but I guess you with the expression you
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: missed one hundred percent of the shots that you don't take.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Dom had to at least try. So we had Eo
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Sky against Kyrie's Sane. Oscar is a ringside Kyrie distracted
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: the referee after she was knocked down off the top
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: of r by Oscar because they were jockeying for position
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: up there, and so Kyrie gets.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Knocked off the ropes.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Now EO is hanging from the ropes, not in the
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: ring like a tree of woe, but really on the
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: other side the referee, I believe the referee was Jessica Carr.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: The referee is distracted by Kyrie, and so Osca gets
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: up on the apron and she grabs EO and she
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: kind of swings her into the ring post casing which
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: makes this loud noise which evidently the referee didn't hear.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: So the referee didn't see it. Rhea Ripley's music plays
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: and she runs down to the ring. She delivers a
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: head butt to Osca that totally missed. Oscar sold it anyway,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: but didn't even connect, and she went to go give
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Osca riptide on the floor outside, but then before she
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: could hit Riptide, Jade Cargill has also come over from
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: SmackDown and she attacks Rhea from behind. EO then wiped
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: out Jade with her crazy suicide dive out to the floor.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: EO went back to the top, but the fucking referee
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: yet again was distracted. This was this, I mean, this
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: was just absurd. There were at least I think three
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: different times in this match where the referee was distracted.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: I think they need to go through some new referee training.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: They're too easily distracted. They can't do their job. So
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: she's distracted again, which allows Osca to get back up
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: on the apron and she trips EO and Kyrie rolls
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: up for the win. Holy shit, Kyrie Sayin actually won
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: a match. I can't. I mean, the fact that she
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: even had a match, let alone that she won a
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: singles match on this show is just incredible.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Incredible.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that this was Kyrie Sayne's first
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: win of the entire year. It probably doesn't surprise you,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: but it's her first win of the entire year. Her
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: last singles match was in October on my birthday, and
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: do you know who it was against? EO Sky. And
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: as far as Eosky is concerned, she is winless in
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: singles matches through the middle of April. That she hasn't
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: had a lot of singles matches. She's had at least three,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I think at least three, maybe four televised singles matches.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: She has lost every single one of them. And we
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: are not getting Eyo Ski Oski. It looks like a
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania most likely we're not getting it a WrestleMania pending
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: whatever the resolution is to the Nicky Bella situation. So
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: it has not been a good year for EO Sky,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say. And if you look at the
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: three women who were in the World Championship match last
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: year at WrestleMania, Io was having a terrible year. Bianca
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: bell Air still has not come back, and Rhea Ripley
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: is the only one she's challenging for the championship. A
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: different one at least she has a title match at WrestleMania,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: but I don't think that's going to end well for
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: her either, That's my prediction. After a commercial, Adam Pearson
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Triple H we're back in the ring, this time to
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: bring out Oba Femi to sign the contract for WrestleMania.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: So he marched down to the ring. Did you see
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: by the way, they are now selling those Oba Femi
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: necklaces with the giant red balls on them, And I
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: think they're selling them. What are they selling them for?
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Somebody could look at it up on WWE's shop. I
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: think it's like thirty five or forty bucks each.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: When you factor in shipping one necklace will probably run
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: you at least fifty bucks. I would love to know
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: what those things are made of. So he marches down
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: to the ring and he signs the contract and Triple
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: H now is pointing at the aisleway. So Oba turns
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: around and there's Paul Hayman, and Hayman is keeping his distance.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: He's standing over by the stage and he puts Oba
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: over this again. There's no Brock. We didn't see Brock
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: again after the opening segment, but Hayman is putting him
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: over as someone who has risen up the card faster
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: than anybody that he has seen in years. And he
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: knows Oba is a violent man, so he's going to
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: stay put right where he is. He's not going to
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: move from this spot. But that's what he likes about Oba.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Oba is the most violent person to come to WWE
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: since brock Lesner. Says that Oba is the fastest rising
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: star in WWE since brock Lesner. He's the he's the
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: what do you call him? The most impressive fighter and
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: combat athletes and you get the gist of this. But
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: it all comes crashing down this Sunday when he falls
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: to brock Lesner and Hayman was constantly being interrupted here
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: by chance of Oba fans, the one constant here every
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: single week that we have seen in this the fans
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: wherever they go, whatever city they're in, Houston, Sacramento, Tonight,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden, wherever it may be, fans are into
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Oba Femi. They chant his name, they bark right, they
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: do the strut when he comes out, and it's good
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: to see it's consistent across the board. What they have
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: done with him so far has worked. It's been very effective.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: He's gotten over in a very short period of time,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: and not just gotten over like Dan Housen is over.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: He's gotten over.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Is someone who the fans I think look at and say, Okay,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: this could be a top guy. You know, he is
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: not out of place at all going into his first
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania in a match of brock Lessnar. That's a big
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: spot to be in. But the fans, I mean, they
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: took to him like a duck to water. It doesn't
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: matter where they are across the board. The reactions have
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: all been the same. Sa Haman said, there's no shame
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: in it. And when you get conquered by brock Lesnar
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: or WrestleMania in the real main event, he says, and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: again I don't think he's wrong when he says that.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: But when he gets conquered or WrestleMania, he gives him
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: his word. You need to rebuild your career after WrestleMania.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: My door will always be open, he says to Oba Femei.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: So then it was Oba's chance to speak. This is
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: a big spot for Obafemi because we have not really
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: seen him in the ring with a live mic in
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: his hand, have a chance to speak like this I mean,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: he's cut promos an XT, but he said it's taking
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: everything in him not to come down there and beat
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Hayman from pillar to post. Physical pain and scars will heal.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: And as he's talking, the fans are chanting beat his ass,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: beat his ass, and Oba says, hold up, If I
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: beat his ass, the physical scars will heal. But when
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: he beats Broc, Hayman's emotional pain will last forever. And
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: the only door that Obin needs opened is the door
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: to WrestleMania. They said, you know Brock, he issued this
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: open challenge. Brock has twenty five years, like Brock and
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Hayman have been a pair I mean off and on,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: but they've been a pairing for twenty five years. They've
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: known each other, and it's been twenty five years of
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: saying that this guy can't be beat, this guy can't
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: be beat. Oba has four weeks of saying that Brock
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: lesnier can he can feel it. Hayman can feel it.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: All these people can feel it, and the crowd's rising
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: right along with him. It's time to put an end
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: to the beast. Hayman's been a good mouthpiece, but never
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: an honest one. If Paul was honest, he would have
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: said that his client is scared of Oba Femi. Oba
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: is the mountain that Brock can't conquer. He will slay
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: the beast because he is the one and always has
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: been the one. Everybody knew it, and at WrestleMania, Hayman
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: will know it too, and the fans bit on everything
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: that this man had to say. They were with him
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: every step of the way. Levec came over because he
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: was just sort of chilling in the corner watching this
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: and listening to this, and I'm sure processing like, Okay,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: how's this guy doing?
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: And he did fine.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Now again, you know, they give him this this verbiage
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: that you could tell was written for him, and he's
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: got to memorize this shit. It's it can be very
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: easy sometimes when you really pay attention to listen to
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: what they're saying. You could tell like when they're handed
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: something to read and when they're maybe speaking from the
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: heart or they're speaking off the cuff. And he's new
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not expecting him to go out there and be like,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: all right, get a couple of bullet points and there
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: you go. You know, like you're on your own. So
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: again that's a minor critique. I wish it would have
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: felt a little more like OBA and not like some
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: WWE scripted promo. But he delivered it well, and you know,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: he has this delivery with that you know, deep booming voice,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: especially when he starts to get really hyped up, where
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: you sit up and you pay attention, you know, to
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: what the man says. So I thought this was very good.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: And everything they've done so far has worked. And I
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: said this in my predictions yesterday. It is really only
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: one thing they could do, I think, to kind of
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: screw it all up, which would be to beat him.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that him losing is a career
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: killer or anything like that, but I really think, if
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: you want to go all the way, you've gotten this far.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: You have not made a single misstep in this so far.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: And you have this guy as the babyface going out
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: there and telling people I'm the one, like I'm not
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: like anybody else, I'm the guy. Twenty five years of
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: claiming that this guy can't be beaten, this guy's the
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: conqueror and this and that, Well, I'm here now and
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: I'm the man who's going to slay the beast and
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: knock him off the top of that mountain, and for
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: him to go out there on Sunday and not do that,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: you know he's going to take a body blow if
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: that happens, and I just think it's unnecessary, doesn't have
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: to happen. This is the first real match he's had
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: on the main roster. I mean, I forget russ Ev
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: and fucking Kit Wilson for all intents and purposes. This
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: right here is his debut. This right here is the
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: biggest match that he has had in his career since
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: the Saturday Night's Mad Event match with Cody Rhodes. And
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: this is bigger even though Cody was the champion. This
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: is bigger. This is not about titles, like the stage
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: that he's going to be on on ESPN opening the
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: show on Sunday in front of forty fifty thousand people.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: For him, it doesn't get any bigger than that. But
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I still believe that wins and losses they do matter.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Some people say they don't matter. I in them is
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: both agree that they do. And you're trying to establish
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: this guy. You know, you it's like a six step process,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: and you've accomplished the first five steps, but the last
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: step is the most important one. Now he's got to
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: back up all this talk that we heard tonight, and
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: I just feel like, if he can't do it, and
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: then let's say that the plan is to do you know,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Brock and Gunther, let's just say it's summerslim and they
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: move on from this. I just think that would be
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: a huge mistake, and I really hope they don't make
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: that mistake. We had Javon Evans and Dragon Le tag
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: team partners tonight against Rusev and JD McDonough. This is
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: four of the six men in the ladder match for
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: the Intercontinental Championship on Sunday. We only got to see
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: about five minutes of the actual match minus the commercials.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: What we got here, though, I thought was solid. Evans
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: took Russev out with the red Dot, then he dove
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: out onto him on the floor. Dragon Lee hit a
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: styles clash on JD McDonagh to win the match. When
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: it was over, Russev didn't take the loss very well.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: He got in the ring, he attacked Evans and Lee
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: from behind. He went to go put Dragonly in the accolade,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: but here comes Raymistereo Gingerly running down to the ring
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: and I'm looking at this and he starts going out
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: it with Rusev, and I'm like, what the fuck.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Are you doing?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Like You're days away from WrestleMania, this is the final raw.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: Why are you having Raymysterio do anything physical on this show?
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Why would you tempt fate
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: and take that risk of all the people to get
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: physical on this show? Why do you Why does Ray
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Mysterio have to go in there and do anything? But
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: he runs in there, he sets him up for a
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: six one nine. Russev, though close lines him down. Out
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: comes Penta, who runs into a Machka kick. Evans tried
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: for an og cutter, but Russev caught him on the
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: way down and turned it into a yuranagi. Then it
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: was a Machka kick for everybody, and Dragon Lee got
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: put in the accolade and Russev was the last man
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: standing at the end of all of this.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Not that he was winning on Sunday anyway, he wasn't, but.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: It's pretty clear who's not winning the ladder match on Sunday.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: I think we can cross cross Russev day off the list.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Adam Pierce was backstage. He was on the phone with someone.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he was on the phone with
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: his gumah or I have no idea. But dan Hausen interrupted,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: and Dan Housen seemed to think that he was on
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: the phone with John Cena, so he was pestering him.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: He said, Dan Housen, is he's in demand? Housen ain't
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: thought John Cena was on the phone. He demanded to
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: speak with him. Pierce told him, look, you can see
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: him at WrestleMania. He sure that Sena would love to
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: meet Dan Housen. Now, what did I just say on
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: the sound of Yesterday? I said, watch, We'll get a
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: segment between John Sena and Dan Housen on Sunday.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: So it seems pretty.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: Clear that that's probably what they're going to fill in
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: that extra time on Sunday with is probably some comedy
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: with John Cena and Dan Housen on the show.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: Why are we.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Questioning Raymistereo's health because the man is fifty fucking years old,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: That's why. And he gets hurt all the time, and
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: literally just came back from another injury. So, as I said,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: don't tempt fate, you're already doing that anyway. You're putting
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: him in his first match back at a six way
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: ladder match on Sunday. Like, just just let the brother
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: get to WrestleMania so he can get his WrestleMania match.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: He got hurt right before the Friday before WrestleMania last
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: year and didn't even get to make the card. So
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: can we just leave him alone and let him get
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: to Vegas so he can actually have a match this year.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Lucky Dog says, I want Ray to get one more
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: WWE title run. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. That's not
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, and it should not happen.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Sorry. Roman reigns.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: He was out to the ring ahead of one last
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: commercial break for the final hard sell for his WrestleMania
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: main event match with CM Punk, and he wanted the
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: fans to acknowledge him, but he was interrupted by CM
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Punk's music and the World Heavyweight Champion slow walked his
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: way down the steps through the crowd, got to ringside,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: and then stood up on top of the announced desk. So,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: after watching the cold open put together by who he
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: assumes was Roman, he's out here, he says, to tell
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: the truth. So as he tells his truth, he tells Roman,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: tell me when I'm telling lies. He climbed down and
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: he got into the well. He was going to get
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: into the ring, and Roman told him, he said, if
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: you get in here, we're not going to need these mics.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: So Punk stayed out on the apron. He really did
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: like he came across as Roman's bitch honestly in this segment.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: So he stayed on the apron. Though he said he
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: hates Roman. He hates him because he envies him. This
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: is all he ever wanted, the only dream he ever
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: had since he was a little kid, and the fans
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: started to give him the the what treatment. And he's
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: very good at, you know, speaking in like a different
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: cadence to try to shut that down. He doesn't because
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: some guys will just stop and then they'll keep speaking
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: in this cadence where they allow the What Chance to
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: just kind of infect their promo. And it always drives
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: me nuts because you could tell some of them genuinely
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: are not like they don't want the what Chance, but
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: it's almost like they're just trained a certain way to
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: cut promos, the same way where they speak and jay
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Uso does this where you know they'll speak in like syllables,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: which I don't really understand that. So we had some
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: what chance and they died out pretty quick. But he
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: envies the fact that it was all handed to Roman,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: and he hates that he was the champion Roman was
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: for one three hundred and sixteen days because after some
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: self reflection, he hates that he knows how hard Roman
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: worked his ass off to be that great. He hates
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: the amount of times that he has main event in WrestleMania.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: I believe this will be Romans eleventh or twelve. I
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: think eleventh WrestleMania main events. That's how That's how you
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: could tell that someone has had a lot of WrestleMania
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: main events based on the fact that I can't remember
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: how many he's had. Uh SENDPI. Let me ask you
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: a question, brother. You say cm punk gets injured injury
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: all the time, and he younger than Raymisterio. When was
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: the last time cmpunk was injured two years ago? When
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: in the last two years has cmpunk been injured? I
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: would love to know. Tell me when don't make don't
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: make me do it. I don't want to embarrass you,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: So this is a good time to put a lid
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: on it. So anyway. He says he hates how many
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: times Roman has main event in WrestleMania. He hates that
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: he feels this way. And then he brought up Sicca
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: and he said Sicca, of course Roman's father. He invokes
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Seka's name. Many weeks ago he said Sicca was a
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: great man, a great wrestler. Seka's a Hall of Famer,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: and he loves and respects the old timers, and he
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: hates the fact that he invoked Roman's father's name in
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: vain and he sincerely apologizes to him. So there it is,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: we got the apology. This is old Jay whoso wanted
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: all those weeks ago. He just he just wanted an apology.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: So Punk finally got into the ring and he got
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: up in Roman's face. He hates that there's more than
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: one royal family in pro wrestling, and he hates that
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: he envies the fact that he wasn't born into a dynasty.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know what having that kind of family is like.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: He was born in the back alleys of Chicago. He
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: was a misfit who had to find his own family,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: and he found his family in the streets of Sacramento
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: and every VFW hall and Knights of Columbus, abandoned churches.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: He found his people on the Indies, and he conquered
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: the Indies, and then he went to Japan, and he
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: went to England, and he went to Puerto Rico, all
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: around the world. He wasn't born on third base with
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: a silver spoon. He busted his ass and he made
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: pro wrestling home and made them his family. And he
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: hates that he has to share any of it with
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Roman let alone. His first singles match headlining WrestleMania tell
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: me what I'm telling lies on April nineteenth, Like tonight,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: he's got gold on his shoes and gold around his waist,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: and late Sunday night he's going to have gold above
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: his head and the ring announcer is going to be
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: saying and still the end of the world with Las
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: Vegas chanting CM Punk, tell me when I'm telling lies.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: So then Roman spoke up and he said, that's probably
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: the truest stuff he's ever heard Punk say up until
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: the end goes. Let me tell you something, let me
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: tell you something true. I hate you too. I've hated
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: you for a long time, but the main reason is
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: because of your relationship with the fans. I hope one
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: day when I leave, they miss me as much as
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: they missed you, and they chant for me for ten
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: years straight. That's the truest thing that Punk has. It's
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: his connection with the fan base. But on Sunday, his
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: time is up. He gave Punk two months after he
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: won the Rumble, he gave him two months to hold
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: this relevancy, and he did nothing with it. On Sunday
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: it's not and still it will be, and new this
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: little nostalgia act is done. On Sunday, we fix this mess.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: We we fix this mess that you started. We make
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: this place where we had it at the very top.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: On Sunday, the tribal chief takes back over and Punk,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: along with the whole world, will acknowledge him. And they
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: went right off the air. So when it was over,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: it felt very underwhelming. You know, they're talking about how
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: I hate you and I hate you, and this is
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: all the same stuff we heard them say at the
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: beginning of February. All right, we heard Roman say this
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: in that very first promo, I hate you, Right, he
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: went through some of the reasons.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: Why he hated him.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: So it felt to me like they were rehashing a
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff here in this promo, and the intensity
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: that we had from CM Punk last week when Roman
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't there was completely.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: Absent this week.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was calm, he was There were moments
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: in this promo where he would stop speaking and then
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: eight to ten seconds would go by. It was almost
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: like that he lose his train of thought, like what's
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: going on here? And then you know, he would go
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: into the next thing that he was saying. But again
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: he's just talking about his background and you know, I
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: conquered the indies and this is I always wanted to
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: do this. This always meant so much to me. I
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: mean it was fine. I mean it wasn't like a
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: terrible promo or anything like that, but you know, there
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: really was nothing terribly engaging about it. There was really
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: nothing terribly special. This was the go home promo. This
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: was the last time that these two men are going
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: to be face to face in the middle of the
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: ring before they go to the main event of WrestleMania,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: and considering some of the personal insults and some of
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: the shots they've taken at each other, to have ce
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: him Punk go out there and apologize to this man
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: now that he's here in person, right. Last week it
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: was okay to rip him the shreds when he wasn't there.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: But then this week Roman is back and it was
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: almost again. It was almost like, okay, now you're apologizing
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: to him and you're giving him his props and you're
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: saying that you know, I hate the fact that you
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: did this, and ipec that like.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: It.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: It was two very different versions of CM punk, And
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: I feel like that version of punk that we saw
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: last week, you know, that was the version that would really,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: like in a go home promo, could really sell things,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: especially if you had face to face right and you
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: could have like the no physicality stipulation, so we don't
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: have another Pollop Bart brawl. But they really, you know,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: they get up in each other's face and they're just
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: you know, one last chance to really give it to
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: the other guy and be like, man, I fucking hate
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: your guts, you know, and let them talk their shit.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: And this was I said at the beginning. It was
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: almost more like a like a therapy session for punk
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: So just the very a weird way to close out.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: I think what we have seen from these two over
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: the last got what has it been?
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: What has it been ten weeks.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: So what I mean, man, this road to wrestle Mania,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: it just seems to get longer and longer. It's too long,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: and nothing is nothing is gonna top that first segment
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: between them, But I'm still looking forward to the match itself.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: I do wonder again about this whole we Maybe I'm
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: reading too much into it, but just something to keep
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: in mind. I guess as we head into WrestleMania this weekend.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: If you want.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: The full rundown, the full preview, WrestleMania predictions and all that,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: we'll be talking about that on the Young Crown Wrestling
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Show tomorrow. But you know, when I look at this
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania card now that we're finally here, and again, I'm
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: not going to be here on Wednesday. There's no Dynamite review,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: there's no SmackDown review.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: On Friday.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: I'll first be coming home from Vegas from the House
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: of Glory show that day, so I'll have to catch
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: up with SmackDown later on. But this WrestleMania card, like
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: on paper, there our matches on this car, whether it's
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: Brock and Oba, Rollin's and Gunther Live in Stephanie, you know,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: on the women's side and even the main events. I mean,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: if you look at the main events themselves, Cody and Randy,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Roman and Punk, if they're allowed to go out there
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: and do their thing, I mean, they could go out
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: there and have a couple of excellent matches, the Cody
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: and Randy thing. You know, it just feels to me
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: like it's gonna end up being this whole overbooked thing.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: You know, WrestleMania forty was overbooked, but it was overbooked
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: in the best possible way because that story had been
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: building for so long and you could see where it
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: was going, and the way they pulled that off was
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: just it was fantastic. My fear is that this will
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: end up being an overbooked mess in a very different
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: way on Saturday night and then Sunday night. I just
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: find it very hard to believe that we're going to
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: get Roman and Punk and there's not going to be
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: someone sticking their nose into their business, whether it is
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee or whether it's the USSOS, or whether it's
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: someone we're not thinking of, that something isn't going to
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: go down. I'm not expecting it to be quite as
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: probably an overbook messes as Saturday will be, but there's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of really quality matches on paper that could
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: end up stealing the weekend, you know, Rollin's and Gunther
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: to me, I think that that right there could be
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: the show stealer for the weekend. So those matches I'm
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: looking forward to. But my overall, you know, I would
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: say my overall level of hype going into this WrestleMania,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: I can't say it's an all time low, but it's
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: pretty fucking low. You know, this has not been This
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: has not been a great wrestle media build. This has
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: not been a super exciting Oh my god, I can't
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: wait until we get to Las Vegas this weekend. You know,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: wrestle media build things feel like it's been cobbled together
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: in some cases. And I know some of their original
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: plans fell through due to injuries and it kind of
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: ravaged the card there a little bit or not. For
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: those injuries, this card that we're looking at this weekend
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: would look very different. And this is going back to Rollins,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: you know, when he got hurt last year. What would
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: the WrestleMania card look like at the top of the
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: card right now if they didn't have you know, those
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: things happened when they did. I don't know one of
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: those one if questions. I guess we'll never know the
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: answer to. Let's take a look at the Twitter poll,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: what did you think of the final Raw before wrestle
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: Mania is sixty two percent thumbs up and about thirty
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: eight percent thumbs down, so an overall positive score here
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: for this go home show, and then next Monday we
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: have the Raw after many I feel like the Raw
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: after Mania has not really been a thing for many years.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: It's certainly not what he used to be. It'd be
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: nice if he could go back to that. I don't
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: know that I would necessarily expect too much from the
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Raw after WrestleMania. It would be nice to get maybe
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: a new face debuting, so we have that coming up
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: next week. I will be here for that. I just
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: won't be here for SmackDown this Friday. You could tell devastated. Devastated.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: I tell you that I will now be here for
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal this weekend. I
• 1:17:07

• 1:18:39

• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: I could tell death sith when Randy wins.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: I can see Pat holding the WWE title throughout his
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: reign and Randy doesn't hold it once, just like when
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Lucasaurus was TNT champion. Well, that would be fucking terrible, now,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: wouldn't it? That would be awful? Also, it says better yet,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Randy gives his WrestleMania title
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: shot to Pat Apathy, like when he originally turned down
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: his shot at Bray Wyatt or WrestleMania at thirty three,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Pat Apathy, I like that, z omg Ruler. Did you
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: see liv Morgan's music video? It was yeah, yeah, I
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: saw it. My expectation is that that may be her
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: new music, Like she may come out to that at WrestleMania. Otherwise,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, why drop that this week right before Mania
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: if she's not gonna come out to that music at WrestleMania.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: From NJ two thousand says, why does Triple H need
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: to be involved in the Oba and Brock segments? Well,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it makes it feel like a bigger deal
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: because he's out there. He's not typically out there for
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: the contract signing segments, so his presence out there, in effect,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: is supposed to make it feel more special, right because
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: everybody knows he's the head guy Roca Thrilla.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: When was the.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: Last time Julia competed on a plee? I mean, outside
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: of her being in like a Royal Rumble match. I
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: have imagine the Royal Rumble outside of the rumble. The
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: answer is never, never powerful one with the nine ninety nine,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: I am okay with Oba losing if Brock cheats, Hayman
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: distracts the referee, Brock hits a nutshot like Undertaker did
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: to him, and Oba still looks strong because Brock Lesnar
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: of all people.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: Had to cheat to beat him.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I can't say I'm terribly excited about
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: a nutshot finish, especially after we had that in the
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: main event last year, so I'm going to say no
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: on that. But if you are going to beat Oba,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: then I would prefer that he takes some sort of
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: shortcut and doesn't just beat him straight up. I agree
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: with that, but the finish that you described, I don't
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: want to see that. That sounds like an awful finish. Dude,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: here seventy three hell of a promo by Oba. At
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: least one build is hitting on all cylinders. My wife
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: and I are heading to Vegas tomorrow, but before Wrestlemindia
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: comes the ho G Show, First Hog Show and looking
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: forward to it.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, you picked a great one.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: Then we got a stacked lineup for that one. If
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: you look at the card that we're putting together for
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: Thursday night at the Palms the Pearl Theater at the
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: Palms Casino Resort, first time ever amazing read against Bandido.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: We got Brody King and Zillapot too. We got Michael
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: Oku and Charles Mason. We got Shatzi and Charlie Dakota
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: Kai making her debut. The Hardys are going to be
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: defending their tag team titles on that show as well.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: We got some good shit. Phil says, what in the
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: hell was that between Roman and Punk? And why is
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: Punk apologizing? I think because he's afraid of Roman. It's like,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: oh shit, he's back. I gotta be nice to him now.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: I may have gone too far with what I said
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: be Man the chant, you may want to reconsider your
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: six man tag prediction for Mania. Other than Battle Royals,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: celebrities have never lost in a match of WrestleMania, except
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: when Pat lost to Vince immediately after beating Theory. Well,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: there's the first time for everything. That would be my
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: answer to you. There's a first time for everything. Just
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: because things have always been done a certain way doesn't
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: mean they always have to be done that way. Death
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: Site says buy or sell on who you would like
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: to see Dan Housen do a comedy segment with the
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: most the Rock as Rockhausen or brock Lesner as Brockhausen
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: brock Lesner and then Brock pounds him into the ground.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: San Juan Wolf, that Oba Femi segment has completely sold
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: me on the idea of him being the next base
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: of WWE. When Cody and Roman hang up their boots,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: he just oozes top guy Aura. Yeah, I don't think
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: we need to be waiting until Cody and Roman hang
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: up their boots.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: Otherwise you're gonna be waiting a while. That would be
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: a bad thing. You don't wait until they hang up
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: their boots. You want them still to be active so
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: that they can put Oba over when the time is right.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: Walker Stubbs didn't really get to watch Raw because of
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: lots of tornado watches and warnings around me. Did I
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: miss anything? Well, stay safe, brother, that sounds very scary.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: I mean there were a few good things on the show.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: You didn't miss anything terribly important. Good promo from Oba
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: in a wild live Morgan appeared.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: Aaron.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: That last segment felt more like building to them as
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: unwilling tag team partners rather than a wrestle many a
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: main event. This few'd cooled off more with each week. Yeah, again,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: they could just never match that first segment.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: It was really just all downhill from there.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: They were never able to really recapture that magic of
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: that first segment. Death Site says, what do you call
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: a baptized shit?
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: A holy shit?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: Nick Grosso with a nine ninety nine EO sky, Carmelo Hayes,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: and Tiffany Stratton are off WrestleMania who did they piss off?
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: They made EO look silly tonight and said, Oscar is right.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: She is just Rhea's sidekick. See, Oscar should have stole
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: Punk's line. And as soon as she said that, she
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: should have said, tell me what I'm telling lies and
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: nobody could refute what she said, because that's exactly the
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: role that Eosky has been reduced to.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: Christian Braden.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: Can ww E treat Alberto del Rio like Hogan in
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen? Dude is a lost cause at this point,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: I think they already do. They don't acknowledge him, they
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: don't mention him, they don't show highlights of him. He's
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: basically persona non grata in that company. As far as
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: any sort of television mentions go. You could say it.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: You could say Alberta Dell dipshit. Okay, Saint James.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: With a five.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: This was my spouse's first time seeing the Judgment Day.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: Quite McDonough, well, mcdonna is part of the Judgment Day.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: Quite literally bullied him on his head to shoulders embody
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: ratio the entire ten to fifteen minutes, including commercial. It's
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: like a bobblehead. It's like a big Funk Coopop, Dona Yasu,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: longtime Solo. It's hard to believe this triple h is
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: the same that gave us Black and Gold NXT. It's
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: Mania week and I have zero hype. I feel you, brother.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: I wish I could be more excited for the show.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: I've got some matches I'm looking forward to, but it
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a big wrestle Mania weekend.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: Alexander says the Celebrity Stable can be the main event Mafia.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: So who are we gonna have. We're gonna have McAfee,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have jelly Roll. When Jelly Roll turns on Cody,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have I show Speed after he pins La Night.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: Lil YACHTI.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: And then the big reveal at the end of wrestle
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady He's gonna come out dressed as a ninja
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: in all black, the Mask Man. He's gonna pull the
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: mask off. It's gonna be Tom Brady El Masse with
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: that forty dollars Sicko drop Undertaker got me more excited
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: for the Americanos Mask versus Mask match than I am
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: for Randy and Cody. Yeah, it's true. How sad is
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: that de'sid. I hope at the end of this Pat
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: may be pulling Randy strings like he's Lionel stark Weather.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: But Randy is James Earl Cash in this scenario, and
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: we all know what happened in the end. There's a
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: Manhunt reference. I have no idea what you're talking about.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: I wish, I wish I got the reference, but I'm
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: sure it's a really good analogy.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: If I just knew who these people were.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Super Pony was watching Brett's heel term promo from the
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: Raw after Mania thirteen and wanted to ask, if you
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: think we will ever see another double turn as good
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: as that? You know, it was just so well done.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think we will. Doesn't
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: mean we can't have some good ones. I just don't
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna get one as good as that one. No,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: we got, Mike, my favorite media opener of all time
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: is probably Eddie against Ray WrestleMania twenty one, or Bianca
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: versus Eo versus Rhea at WrestleMania forty one.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: Well, of course I forgot to add that one before
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: when I was talking about the great WrestleMania openers. Take
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: a list of those. You know, Brett against Owen. This
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: is not ranked, but Brett Agan's Owen. Uh I mentioned
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: Triple h and Daniel Bryan the triple threat for the
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: IC title of WrestleMania thirty four EA Ea EO Rea.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: That should have been their tag team name stead of Ariho.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: It should have been EA uh EO Ria and Bianca
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: from last year. You know Eddie and Ray. I haven't
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: seen that match in a very long time. I don't
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: remember thinking. I mean, it's not like they're Halloween Havoc
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: match or anything. I mean that WrestleMania twenty one match
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: was nowhere near the best match they ever had together.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: Mactub.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, Rock and Hogan are the two biggest
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: and most transcendental stars in WWE history, And do you agree. Probably.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: I guess Sena is kind of creeping up into that
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: category as well. You know, given all the things he's
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: involved in terms of movies and hosting and every fucking
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: Honda commercial. I hear his voice, I could be in
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: the other room. I'm like, uh, I hear Sina must
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: be a car commercial. He's permeating pop culture by the week.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: But as far as which one is better rock.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: Rock is just overall a much more versatile performer than
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: Hogan was. Triple h deserves a lot more criticism, not
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: just TKO. I think he gets. I think he gets
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of criticism. I don't know where you're looking,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: certainly around these parts he does. Mike says, I show
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: speed and McAfee spot on the WrestleMania car, but they
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: cannot find room for EO Mello or dragon of.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: What a joke.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, but here you got to learn how to speak
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: WWE language. Did you see the little did you know
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: factoid that they advertised tonight that the announcers talked about.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: They talked about how many hundreds of millions of social
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: media it was either views or impressions that the I
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: show Speed I think hitting La Night clip, not from
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: last week's Raw. That's why, because that's what they care about.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: And Ilia Dragonov and Carmelo Hayes. They're not getting four
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: hundred million social media views for anything, you know. I mean,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: they could jump off the Empire State Building. They're still
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: not going to get four hundred and thirty million fucking
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: social impressions. The new one Oba Feme reminds me of
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: Mbaku from the Black Panther movies seems to be the
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: inspiration for the character. Could be I know those movies
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: are very popular. It's possible, Alexander says, do you think
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: deaf Rebel directed and made that Live Morgan music video?
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: Because it was Kaka? She may have ni she may
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: give Nakita Lyons a run for her money for bad
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: pop music. I'm sure deaf Rebel probably had something to
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: do with it, although if they did, I've heard much
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: worse from deaf Rebel. Holkley ninety three lived came across
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: like Pooky from New Jack City when he was dragged
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: into rehab.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: What is with all these old movie references?
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: It seemed Newjack City and fucking I don't even know
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: how long it's been long enough. I haven't seen New
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: Jack City. I don't remember who Pooky even is. Hey showtime,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Death Site says. Looking back at WrestleMania forty one,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Punk seth Roman should have closed out Night two since
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: it was far superior than Sena and Cody. Well, yeah,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: that and it had the big shocking swerve of Paul Hayman.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: But they were never going to close with anything other
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: than John Cena winning number seventeen, even though it sucked.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: Mike going to bed now. Thanks for a great stream, solo, Monster,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: I hope you have a blast at WrestleMania. Hope you
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: were close enough to smell well. Okay, So I'm I'm
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: not going to WrestleMania. I know this is it's weird.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going to Vegas WrestleMania week, but I'm not actually
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: going to WrestleMania. I don't want to have to sell
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: one of my kidneys to purchase a ticket to go
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: to WrestleMania. So I'm flying in on Wednesday. I got
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: business to transact on Thursday. I'm coming home on Friday.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: I will be here. I will be in this chair
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: reviewing WrestleMania when Night one is over and when Night
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: two is over, right here on YouTube, just like I
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: am right now, So you don't have to worry about that.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: And Tom Wheeler, Invisible Man is going against Sandman on Friday. Yes,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: that is going to be Sandman's supposed supposed retirement match.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: We know how that goes, but he is supposed to
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: be retiring against the Invisible Man. Andre Jefferson with a
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: ten spot. Hey, solo, I think they have something really
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: special in Oba. I think they should strap the rocket
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: on him. They really haven't taken a chance on a
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: rookie since Brock in two thousand and two. Well, I mean.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: It took a.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: Chance on a rookie called Ronda Rousey in twenty eighteen.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: I think she got pushed pretty quickly.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I mean you got to strap the
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: rocket to him. I'm not saying you have to put
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: the world title on him in the next three months,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: but you know, strapping the rocket could mean a lot
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: of different things. But I do think you want to
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: vault him up into that territory, you know, very quickly.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to see him middling around
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: in the mid card against you know, guys that he
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be working with, because by working with some of
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: these guys, it automatically puts him in a certain position
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: that he shouldn't be in, and he should be above that.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: Super Pony do the Sickos. The aw Sikos super chat
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: sound is the best one I've heard. It made me
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: laugh so hard. One of my favorites, that one in
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: the thirty dollars mentos one can't forget our boy Gunhal
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: of course, MVK Poor EO. My brother Hoping ninety three
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: thinks the whole scene of EO feeling more like a sidekick,
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: could twist EO to turn on I guess he means
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: turn on Rhea at Mania.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: How do you feel? I mean you could, but she's
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: such a great babyface. Why would you turn her?
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: The fans love EO? Why would you squander that? That
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: would be my only fear in doing that. You know,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: we had heel EO and damage control, and I'm not
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: ready to go back to that yet.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: Boomerang.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: Favorite WrestleMania theme I found myself listening to Easy Lover
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: by Bailey and Phil Collins, who was inducted into the
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: Well, Phil Collins is a legend. Easy Lover.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: They did use that, I guess didn't they for the
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: first WrestleMania they used. Take Me Home was another Phil
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: Collins song they used on one of the Saturday Nights
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: made event shows. I get which one early eighty eight
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: might have been the one where Andre choked out Hogan
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: these Phil Collins a few times. My favorite WrestleMania theme
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: is still the instrumental WrestleMania theme that they first started
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: using in ninety three, which became Linda McMahon's theme. I
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: think that's still my favorite WrestleMania theme, But I believe
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: it or not, I was always very partial.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: To Big Time.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: By Peter Gabriel that they used for WrestleMania twenty two,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: So I.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: Just throw that out there.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: Death Size says Manhunt is a stealth horror game by Rockstar,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: and spoiler Cash brutally murders stark Weather with a chainsaw.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: Ah say, I didn't play the game, so I would
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: not know that we got retro koh not major news
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: by any means. But Ridge Holland just got medically cleared.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: I hope he does okay for himself. Yeah, I did
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: see that earlier. It's a pretty brutal injury, so good
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: for him. Good for him. I'm glad he's healthy again.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: Showtime World Heavyweight Championship with Cash in at forty one
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: and Brock versus Seth of thirty five are also great openers. Yeah,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: but they're not among the best. I wouldn't put those
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: in the elite category of openers, Like if I did
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: a top five or well, let's say top five, they
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even sniff the top five Super Pony Punk has
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: to win. Roman won't commit full time. Well, that didn't
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: stop them before, so that doesn't really mean anything. We
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: got Pisco Pisco Sour ninety five. What's going on? Pisco
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: Pisco from Frisco. I predict the bloodline reforming at the
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: end of WrestleMania, not because it's the right outcome, it's not,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: but because WWE is so desperate and creatively incompetent that
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: they have no choice but to rehash their last successful angle.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: They have a history of rehashing old angles or trying
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: to recapture past glory. How many times did they try
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: to recreate the Montreal screw Job.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: Over the years.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think there's a very good possibility there.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: EJ.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: Slamp never thought I would see Cmpunk main event WrestleMania
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: or Rory McElroy win the Masters. Now they've both done.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: It in back to back years. Love it.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: Well, don't give WWE any ideas they may try to
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: bring Rory McElroy in to make a celebrity appearance. Dry
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: Chicken Tko loves Pat McAfee so much they have a
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: Pat gasm.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: There was a news item today that Stephen A. Smith
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: said that. I don't know how long ago this was.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think this was recent, but Nick Cohn did
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: evidently have conversations with him trying to convince him to
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: join ww in some capacity, maybe as like a manager
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: or something. Not just what we need we need to
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: hear stephen A. Smith's voice every week on TV. Yes,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: I think we get enough of him as it is.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think we need him on WWE Television.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: And Super Pony.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: If we get a punk Ko program when Owens comes back,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: who do you think the crowd sides with.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: And who would you have be the heel?
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: I think in that one Owens would be the heel,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: but I think the fans would probably side with him.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, especially if he's just coming back from a
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: major injury. I'd be a hell of a program.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: Though.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: I hope we get it. I hope we get it someday.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: Just the promos alone Owens and punk sign me up
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: for that. Stephen A would be my breaking point. That's
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: what would get you to finally quit. All right, Well,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: we smashed the og likes goal. We have a bonus
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: one as well, but we are nearly seven hundred likes.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: So with that being said, Let's go ahead and be
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: the booker. This may be the only time we do
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: it all week.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: It is now time to be the booker.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: This may be the last time that we be the
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: booker until early Sunday morning. So we got to make
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: it count. Must we get four more to hit the
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: bonus goal. Let's see tag team be the booker, Stone Cold,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: Steve Austin and the Undertaker. Yes, they were tag team
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: champions for a hot minute back in ninety eight. Kind
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: of hard to beat Stone Cold in the Undertaker against
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: bron Breaker and Bronson Reed. Look at that the tribal thief. Hey,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: look at that bron Breaker and Stone Cold in the
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: ring together. It's the old school in the new school.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: I think we had a couple of clean sweeps the
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: other night. We might be able to keep the momentum rolling.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: Here we have Miss Jackie, Yes, Jacqueline. Is she in
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: the WWE Hall of Fame? I don't think so. Miss Jackie.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: She's a tough cookie. She's gonna get into the ring
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: with rowdy Ronda Rowsy. I think Jackie may she may
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: lay down a beatdown on Ronda. Ronda is gonna be
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: fighting Gina car I know in about a month live
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: on Netflix and in our main event of the evening.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: Is she in the Hall of Fame?
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: She is?
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: What year did she go in? She was inducted ten
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: years ago. I have no memory of this whatsoever. Twenty sixteen,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: inducted by the Doe.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 2: Oh how about that? All right? Well, good for her.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: I have no memory of this.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: All right, Here we go, final round, Big daddy, cool
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: Diesel with the winged eagle over his shoulder.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: Here it is I love the winged eagle.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: That just made this infinitely better. The tribal chief says,
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: pick a damn stipulation. Now Roman is getting snippy tonight. This.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to break into the stipulations, but I
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: guess we have no choice. We have a blindfold match.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: We've had one of these a WrestleMania before. Okay, all right, no,
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: we are not landing. Okay, so now we have to
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: start over again, because now I'm kidding all right, Diesel
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: in a blindfold match. This is already a disaster. Diesel
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: in a blindfold match. I can't kissuchka oh katta, oh
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: my god.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: We have done it. We have swept.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: Come on, now you mean to tell me that you
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't pay to see Diesel and Okada in a blindfold match.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: I think that would be Bandito in a blindfold. Yeah,
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: he's wearing a blindfold already around his face had looked
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: like in that image. Diesel and Okada is like all
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: the stars. There's not enough stars in the Melter scale
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: for that match. That's amazing? Is that is fire? As
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: they say fire abystle Zones edges I Hate You promo
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: on Cena in two thousand and nine really made it
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: feel like they had an intense personal hatred. I didn't
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: feel that from Punk or Roman tonight. Yeah, now I
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: don't really feel it either. I felt it more with
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: Live and Stephanie. To be honest with you, dry Chicken says,
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: WWE you should do an NXT call up draft for
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: one night. There's no draft. There's no draft that's needed.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: I've already laid this out many times before. Just open
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: up the transfer window and let the general managers start
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: making deals. It's all you need to do. And eminem
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: with at nineteen ninety nine. With celeb Mania happening this year,
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: May WWE will May WWE will bring back the guest
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: host Raw solo you might have to make a call
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: to your boy triple the guest host error of Raw. Dude,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: We're already in the celebrity era of RAW. I mean,
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think we need to go back to any
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: sort of guest host era. We've got Jelly Roll having
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: four fucking segments on some of these shows. Pat McAfee's
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: in like two or three different segments, Little Yacht's in
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: a couple of segments. What more do you want? We
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: got celebrities every week, Alex, Who do you see getting
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame? First, Vince or China as
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: an individual inductee China and Super Pony. Is Ko beating
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: Sena in his debut the biggest debut win ever?
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I can't think of what
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: it would be off the.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: Top of my head, but I'm almost certain that that's
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: not it. It was a very big deal for Kevin
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: Owens though, But this goes to what I was saying
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: earlier about OBA and in terms of how important wins and
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: losses can be. Kevin Owens going in there as I
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: think he was still NXT champion, but still he was
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: new to the main roster. He's in there against John Cena,
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: who's the United States Champion and one of the biggest
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: stars still even though he's not world champion, one of
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: the biggest stars in the company. He's been the star,
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: the face of that company for years up to that point.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: And he beat him clean in his first match, clean,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: no cheating, no interference, no ref bumps and shenanigans and
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: all kinds of bullshit. That was a big deal that
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: made people go, WHOA, holy shit. Now you can't do
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: that all the time, but it can be very effective. Mays,
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: thank you for the fifty seven months membership. With WrestleMania
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: being your biggest show, the likes for Bullstream should be
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: no less than a thousand. I think that's what we
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: did last year. Whatever we did last year, well, I mean,
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: we'll leave it to the I don't know if I'll
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: do the Wheel. The Wheel doesn't have any values that
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: big on it. I mean, I can go in there
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: and change it. But I noticed we just hit the
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: bonus call. Kind of snuck that in there on me.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: I almost didn't even notice. Double be the Booker has
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: been activated bred Heart with forty nine months of membership.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: When we get the rare double sweep.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: On be the booker.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: You should play the Mario World theme when the levels end,
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: you know, the one that goes.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 2: Do do do do doo doop ah that one?
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: Yes and Alex with a pair of ten dollars super chats,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: let's go, let's do this. Oh, we're gonna do it.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do it. Here in a second drive Chicken.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: Who would you rather listen to? On wrestling commentary Joe
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: Tessitour or nineties Vince McMahon nineties Vince McMahon. All right,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: well I owe you guys.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: Another round.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: And the way this works is that we have stipulations.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: This is exciting. I think we were gonna do this.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna ruin it? This is gonna ruin it,
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: isn't it. We just had like back to back streams
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: where we just had clean sweeps and I feel like, man,
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go out on a high note. And now
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're gonna fuck it all up. But
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: let's see, let's see what happens. First stipulation cm punk
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: is the special guest referee. All right, it's gonna be
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: a special guest referee for a tag team special I said,
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: usually we do it tag teams first, So I feel
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: like we should stick with that money Incorporated a million
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: dollar man and Irwin R.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 2: Schister.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is April fourteenth. You better pay your taxes.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: You don't have a lot of time left. Punk is
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: the referee for money Ink against Pete Dunn and Tyler Bates.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: Whatever happened to these two chaps here? Instead they give
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: their spots away to these Americano fools Ryo and Bravo.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: They get TV time. These two have disappeared off the
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: face of the earth. Terrible, probably sitting in the back
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: with nothing to do watching these Americano clowns on TV.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 2: It's awful.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going here. We need another
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: step iron Man match. I was gonna pick a women's match.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: Can't do that now, Well, I mean we can make
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: it an Iron Maiden match. How about that we'll do
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: We'll do the Iron Maiden match sixty minutes. We need
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: two women who could go sixty minutes. Hm, we have Carmela.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: Uh wait a minute, choose four women and book a
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: tag team match. Okay, dude, this was going this was
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: going to be a buzz I'm just gonna let you know.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: But now we've been rescued because now we're going to
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: wipe the slate clean. The streak lives. This was like
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: a near fall. It was like an aw pay per view.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: And so now we wipe the slate clean and now
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: we get another shot at it. How about that bet?
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: You didn't see that coming, all right? So we got
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: to pick four women. We're not out of the woods yet,
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: what to save?
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: So we have uh, oh, Mommy is mad? Pick a
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: step to make her happy? Well, we already did, so
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: we're going to ignore that. We have a stipulation.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: We have Stephanie Vacaire, the raining Women's World champion, all right,
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: and her tag team partner, her tag team partner, Queen Zelena.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: Stephanie and Zelena. Mm hmmm, I don't know, I don't know, man.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: All right, that's one team. On the other side, we
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: have timelesss Tony Storm and her tag team partner Gail Kim,
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: Stephanie mcman, Stephanie mcmaon, Stephanie mcaer, Zelena against Tony Storm
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: and Gail Kim.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: That, my friends, is a belle. That is a belle.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: Who we got saved. But we're not out of the
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: woods yet. Because we have one match left to book.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: I'm worried. I'm very worried Zelina eats the fall. Well,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: I mean that goes without saying. I think that goes
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: without saying. All Right, we got a parking lot brawl
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: in our main event. Okay, here we go. Here we go.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: One big son of a bitch braun Stroman in a
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: parking lot brawl against the Jets, the new TNT champion
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: Kevin Knights. Oh, we're on a roll. We have been
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: on a roll going back to last Friday. Man, I
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: don't think we've had a hot streak like this ever.
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: This is an incredible run that we have been on.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: Kevin Knight is awesome. Kevin Knight is great. Kevin Knight's
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: the one who I predicted would win the Casino Gauntlet.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know he was in it. That was
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: one prediction I got right last night. Ah, there you go.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 2: Say. It all worked out well.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: Now we have to hope that that luck will continue
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: with WrestleMania this weekend. Dry Chicken says on October, we're
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: gonna have fun doing be The bookers soon line up
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: for favorite horror movies. I mean in October, that's my
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: favorite month. And Martin and twelve your thoughts on Escape
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: from New York and the Warriors getting remakes? Not really
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: a fan of remakes, generally remaking movies that don't need
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: to be remade. You know, Escape from New York is
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: a classic. I don't know too much about the remake
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: er who's in it, so I can't say for sure,
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: but on the surface, just based on you asking me,
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of it. And Super Pony, do
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 1: you also remember Drake Maverick pissing on Bobby Rud's robe.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: That was twenty eighteen WWE for you. I don't remember that,
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: but I do remember the Survivor series when Maverick was
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: with AOP and he pete on himself. He was afraid
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: of the Big Show, and that's why I started calling
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: them AOPP. I remember that. I'm sure Vince got a
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: kick out of that. Oow, this is just great shit,
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: such good shit. All right, So let's recap here. No
• 2:00:07
