- 6:29Speaker 1: by whom. Probably Demolition, you know. Yeah, yeah, some fans
- 6:34Speaker 1: really wanting to see it be Jimmy Hart. I've heard
- 6:36Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes because uh Freddy, yeah, Uncle Fred. Oh okay, okay,
- 6:41Speaker 1: so yeah, that that one makes.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Sense, Yeah, because uh, when Cody saw the Shockmaster thing
- 6:46Speaker 2: happened from home. He was there with his friends, and
- 6:50Speaker 2: you know, Fred falls down and the head comes off,
- 6:53Speaker 2: and he's like, I.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Think that with the Uncle Fred, I love it that
- 7:00Speaker 1: Cody Cody does have like sort of dusty. He does
- 7:04Speaker 1: have the lift baby a little bit, a little bit,
- 7:06Speaker 1: not nearly as bad as Dusty had it. No, but
- 7:08Speaker 1: you know what I really want to hear, Cody, he
- 7:11Speaker 1: got a bathtyagle. Wait, do you get that? Baths If
- 7:14Speaker 1: you're listening to this right now? Number one, we would
- 7:16Speaker 1: love to interview you too. We want you to send
- 7:17Speaker 1: us in a video saying he's got a bicycle. He
- 7:20Speaker 1: got a bicycle? Yeah, yeah, continue the tradition.
- 7:23Speaker 2: If I finished that motograph. No, I don't even care
- 7:26Speaker 2: about that. I just wanted to say, like, if we
- 7:29Speaker 2: ever got to interview Cody Rhoads, it would just be coldy.
- 7:33Speaker 2: I have one question. Can you say he's got.
- 7:38Speaker 1: A bicycle in the dusty voice, but in the stardust voice?
- 7:43Speaker 2: Yeah, pretending to be gold Dust? Yes, and also gold
- 7:47Speaker 2: Dust pretending to be who tug boat to.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Fame? And guess what, none of them are Ultimate Dragon,
- 7:55Speaker 1: That's true, none of them. Lex Luger will be inducted
- 7:58Speaker 1: by Diamond Dallas Page delightably.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Because they couldn't get stem.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Yeah. That was a whole thing and a half. The
- 8:06Speaker 1: legacy Wing has returned for the first time since twenty
- 8:08Speaker 1: twenty one, with its inductees being Dori Funk Senior, Ivan Koloff,
- 8:11Speaker 1: and Kamala. This is a change from previous ceremonies that
- 8:15Speaker 1: had legacy inductees, as they previously never announced the inductees beforehand. Lastly,
- 8:19Speaker 1: this is a first for this year's WW. For this
- 8:22Speaker 1: year's Hall of Fame, WW will induct an Immortal Moment,
- 8:26Speaker 1: which will be a WrestleMania moment to be immortalized in
- 8:28Speaker 1: the WWE Hall of Fame. It wasn't the Immortal one, Nope.
- 8:32Speaker 1: That moment this year will be Stone Cold Steve Awson
- 8:34Speaker 1: versus Brett the Hitman Heart from WrestleMania thirteen and it
- 8:38Speaker 1: will be inducted by c Mpunk.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Do you think Sam Punk's the right person to do it?
- 8:44Speaker 1: Maybe? Maybe because he so shuret Ken Shamrock did induct himself.
- 8:51Speaker 1: You know, he's a referee for that.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I really do, honestly, I think Ken Shamrock should be
- 8:55Speaker 2: in the WWE Hall of Fame.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Yeah. I wonder if they're going to include him as
- 8:59Speaker 1: part of this. I doubt it. Yeah, yeah they should,
- 9:04Speaker 1: I mean I guess it, Just it depends on like
- 9:06Speaker 1: what talk how the talks have happened, if they've even happened,
- 9:10Speaker 1: because he was like, he wasn't an integral port in
- 9:13Speaker 1: that match. I mean, the the the final, you know,
- 9:17Speaker 1: the immortal picture is you know, Austin passing out from
- 9:21Speaker 1: the sharp shirt or he's bleeding and everything, and it's
- 9:24Speaker 1: Ken Shamrock that's calling it.
- 9:25Speaker 2: It's by in bicycle shorts. But anyone could have been
- 9:29Speaker 2: the ref for that match, true, true, like it it.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Ken Shamrock, in my opinion, brought nothing to that match
- 9:35Speaker 2: except the fact that he was from the UFC.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Yeah, that was also in the UFC's infancy. Yeah. And
- 9:42Speaker 1: just the BIB yeah, and can't is it now? I
- 9:45Speaker 1: know Dan Severn was the nw A World's Heavyweight Champion
- 9:50Speaker 1: around that time, but what's it? Was it that Dan
- 9:53Speaker 1: Severn and Ken Shamrock? Are those the first two like
- 9:56Speaker 1: crossovers from M M A over and two professionals? I'm
- 10:01Speaker 1: just throwing us out there. This literally just popped in
- 10:03Speaker 1: my head.
- 10:04Speaker 2: I hm.
- 10:07Speaker 1: And also I have another question to follow up follow
- 10:09Speaker 1: up on this with the Hall of Fame.
- 10:10Speaker 2: But we'll build this one in all of like professional wrestling,
- 10:15Speaker 2: because no, I would almost say Antonio yeah, yeah, yeah, But.
- 10:21Speaker 1: For some reason, when I think Antonio and ok I
- 10:23Speaker 1: don't immediately think MMA. I know that there was that aspect,
- 10:27Speaker 1: and then then you know, in Japan, I think it
- 10:29Speaker 1: was in the early two thousands, around the nineties you
- 10:31Speaker 1: did have anokiism which almost killed New Japan because of
- 10:37Speaker 1: them bringing in MMA fighters and trying to do this
- 10:39Speaker 1: work shoot type thing, and it really backfired on them,
- 10:42Speaker 1: especially with the Eugen Nagata stuff.
- 10:44Speaker 2: But no, if you're just talking about with like WWE
- 10:47Speaker 2: WWF at the time, then yeah, kensham Rock and Dane Severn.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's yeah, Okay, that's I think that's where
- 10:54Speaker 1: I was sort of leaning with that, because now it
- 10:58Speaker 1: really doesn't seem like it's not really a big shocker
- 11:00Speaker 1: when a UFC fighter makes some type of crossover to WWE,
- 11:06Speaker 1: like it's it's not really it's not that big of
- 11:08Speaker 1: a deal these days, whereas I think, you know, back
- 11:11Speaker 1: in those days, but then again, it wasn't insane fancy.
- 11:13Speaker 1: I don't know, I was just spitballing a little bit. Yeah. Also,
- 11:16Speaker 1: speaking of the Hall of Fame, when are we going
- 11:20Speaker 1: to get an actual building for the Hall of Fame? Yeah, yeah,
- 11:23Speaker 1: I would like to visit it, yes, absolutely, like and
- 11:27Speaker 1: they have they have all the stuff in story.
- 11:29Speaker 2: I mean they keep doing the what the show where
- 11:31Speaker 2: they go out and buy old memorability. Oh yeah, but
- 11:35Speaker 2: what's the point of doing that if people can't come
- 11:37Speaker 2: and see it.
- 11:38Speaker 1: That's very true.
- 11:39Speaker 4: I feel like their headquarter, current headquarters building is big
- 11:42Speaker 4: enough to put it in there too.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Why not exactly? And I mean at the moment with
- 11:47Speaker 1: with TKO and everything, WW is sort of making money
- 11:51Speaker 1: hand over fist. Yeah, and you know they've like the
- 11:55Speaker 1: money has exploded for them. I think before they could
- 11:59Speaker 1: have built a building and housed the Hall of Fame there.
- 12:02Speaker 1: But I really think they can do it now.
- 12:04Speaker 4: According to the Brick Flair, like back in twenty twenty,
- 12:07Speaker 4: before COVID happened, there were plans to build one somewhere
- 12:10Speaker 4: in like the Orlando area.
- 12:12Speaker 1: So I don't know what's happening.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Put it down in Florida with performance center.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. That was getting righty. That's
- 12:17Speaker 1: gonna be my next question, like where where would where
- 12:19Speaker 1: should they put it? Like should they put it in Connecticut?
- 12:22Speaker 2: Should they put it in There's never any bad weather
- 12:25Speaker 2: in Florida.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, thankfully, But yeah, I was just I
- 12:32Speaker 1: as I was typing up the rundown earlier today, I
- 12:35Speaker 1: was sitting there thinking, I was like, we really do
- 12:36Speaker 1: not have a building for the House, the Hall of Fame.
- 12:39Speaker 2: I think where they should put it is Charleston, West Virginia.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Yes it you cowards, do it. Lord knows we need
- 12:47Speaker 1: something here. Yeah, you know, we that happens. But speaking
- 12:52Speaker 1: of Florida, the Performance Center, all of that OVW, who
- 12:58Speaker 1: used to be the developmental for w Florida. No, they're
- 13:01Speaker 1: not in Florida, but they used to be the developmental
- 13:03Speaker 1: for WWE. The OVW, I correct me if I'm wrong.
- 13:08Speaker 1: As I was researching, this used to be known as
- 13:11Speaker 1: the Harvard of Wrestling because of just all the talent
- 13:15Speaker 1: they had go through there at one point with JOHNSONA Batista,
- 13:18Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Shelton, Benjamin Brocklesung was in there.
- 13:24Speaker 4: One who was Yeah, but it seems like people only
- 13:26Speaker 4: remember OVW for that class and then being a developmental true.
- 13:30Speaker 2: True, but also had Jim Cornett running things down there,
- 13:33Speaker 2: and then they had Paul Hayman. Now it's El Snow.
- 13:37Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. But OVW has been purchased. Okay,
- 13:42Speaker 1: it was announced this past week the OVW has been
- 13:44Speaker 1: purchased by Morley Sports Management Limited MSM, a sports organization
- 13:49Speaker 1: based out of Welles who also owned a Welsh football team,
- 13:53Speaker 1: a football club and for American fans that's soccer. Yeah,
- 13:57Speaker 1: that's weird. Yeah according to my lot of the football thing.
- 14:00Speaker 1: But in fact that Wales purchased them. Yeah, from my understandings,
- 14:06Speaker 1: had money. I mean the Welsh do oh Welsh? Yes,
- 14:11Speaker 1: we thought you were talking about Wales. No, you know,
- 14:14Speaker 1: like how when can drive Wales? Apparently the m s M,
- 14:22Speaker 1: the Morally Sports Management, they're they're trying to expand their
- 14:27Speaker 1: operations to not just include football for American fans soccer.
- 14:31Speaker 1: So they're really trying to just to spread that out
- 14:34Speaker 1: and to acquire more intellectual properties.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Big spread.
- 14:38Speaker 1: It is from Wells to Ohio, Kentucky.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Oh that's Kentucky.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's based out of a level But minority
- 14:48Speaker 1: owner Matt Jones, in an interview with w D wonder
- 14:52Speaker 1: you got wonder there you know what? Minority owner, thanks
- 14:58Speaker 1: for telling the audience that I don't know how the
- 15:00Speaker 1: spell Josh has a completely different word spell check. I
- 15:04Speaker 1: was just typing away man. The promotion will now be
- 15:08Speaker 1: known as the Minority wonder the promotion needed this quote.
- 15:13Speaker 1: It was getting hard to continue. They were just getting
- 15:16Speaker 1: by end quote. The move is not just about survival quote.
- 15:20Speaker 1: They MSM own a successful pro soccer team and they
- 15:23Speaker 1: have experience in sports. Their scheme centers on the academy
- 15:26Speaker 1: and getting the product to European TV markets. There's a
- 15:30Speaker 1: passion for wrestling throughout Europe, which is a correct that
- 15:34Speaker 1: end quote throughout Europe.
- 15:36Speaker 2: I just don't understand why a Welsh company would want
- 15:40Speaker 2: to buy ov W. I mean, the European wrestling scene
- 15:44Speaker 2: is great in its own yes, so why not give that,
- 15:48Speaker 2: like those wrestlers, a bigger platform. I think it's great
- 15:52Speaker 2: to buy OVW and to help sustain them, but I
- 15:55Speaker 2: also think that the English wrestling scene has.
- 15:58Speaker 1: A very high trying to monopolize. Maybe maybe they could,
- 16:04Speaker 1: I mean, they could be a temperatary. It also could
- 16:06Speaker 1: be they want to be in a market that's outside
- 16:09Speaker 1: of the Europe, outside of Europe, outside of the UK.
- 16:12Speaker 1: And also they may have I don't know what the
- 16:15Speaker 1: what the price was that they've just purchased eight of
- 16:17Speaker 1: twelve dollars maybe, I mean, but I don't know, but
- 16:22Speaker 1: not that, not that, Yeah, that's all you get. No,
- 16:26Speaker 1: I think like I think that does play. I don't
- 16:28Speaker 1: think it's twelve dollars. I think it's it's significantly more,
- 16:32Speaker 1: significantly more than twelve dollars Netflix give. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
- 16:36Speaker 1: That's true because like after the Netflix documentary, they did
- 16:40Speaker 1: have a spike in ticket sales. By the way, it's
- 16:42Speaker 1: very good. You don't watch it, Yeah, it's you know
- 16:44Speaker 1: what I have Netflix now, I definitely need to give
- 16:46Speaker 1: that a shot. And heels Okay, Okay.
- 16:52Speaker 2: I don't think Jeff would look good in heels.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Depends were talking about. I don't kind of yeah, with
- 17:03Speaker 1: my cowboy boots, I'm new boot goofing. But no, they
- 17:11Speaker 1: did have a spike in ticket sales after that, and
- 17:14Speaker 1: it did help them, but it's it was more of
- 17:16Speaker 1: a short term thing.
- 17:17Speaker 2: It's not sustainable. No. I mean, if granted, I have
- 17:20Speaker 2: never been to an OVW show, I do not know
- 17:24Speaker 2: the caliber of entertainment they have there. I do know
- 17:28Speaker 2: that there's one person, Eric Darkstorm, who I used to
- 17:31Speaker 2: watch in whites Film and he was very entertaining to watch.
- 17:34Speaker 2: I do not know how he is now. He's originally
- 17:37Speaker 2: from the Huntington area. But if you do not have
- 17:42Speaker 2: a good production or a an acceptable level of production,
- 17:47Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how much publicity you get from the
- 17:49Speaker 2: get go. It's not sustainable at getting people to keep
- 17:53Speaker 2: coming back.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's and honestly that right there where
- 17:57Speaker 1: And just because you and I have a very similar background, Jason,
- 18:00Speaker 1: that's yeah, that that plays until a lot of things.
- 18:03Speaker 1: If you have a good production, like for example, with
- 18:05Speaker 1: this show, if we did not put the production value
- 18:08Speaker 1: into it that we put into it, it doesn't matter
- 18:11Speaker 1: what we say. It doesn't matter what takes we have.
- 18:14Speaker 4: If we will number one radio show in West Virginia
- 18:17Speaker 4: for professional wrestling.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Yep, we are pretty only we're also the worst, by the.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Way, if we didn't have a quality mic, yes, and
- 18:26Speaker 2: it sounded terrible. People are going to listen to an
- 18:29Speaker 2: audio format.
- 18:30Speaker 1: No, No, they're not.
- 18:31Speaker 2: So if you don't have good quality, good production of
- 18:36Speaker 2: what you're seeing on your screen, it's hard to keep
- 18:39Speaker 2: coming back to it.
- 18:40Speaker 1: It really is, it truly truly is. But yeah, I
- 18:45Speaker 1: I don't know this. I just thought this was interesting.
- 18:48Speaker 1: It really did just kind of come out of left field. Also,
- 18:50Speaker 1: I just like weird things in wrestling, and this is
- 18:52Speaker 1: this is got out there. At NJPW Wendy City Riot
- 18:55Speaker 1: Hiroshi tanah Hashi wrestled his last match Inndy Well, they're
- 18:59Speaker 1: in Yago known as the Windy City. He wrestled his
- 19:03Speaker 1: last match in the United States and in losing effort
- 19:06Speaker 1: to conuscate the Keshta, Tanahashi will retire after wrestling Wrestle
- 19:09Speaker 1: Kingdom twenty on January fourth, twenty twenty six. There has
- 19:13Speaker 1: been chatter from online wrestling fans though wanting John seen
- 19:17Speaker 1: it a face off against Hiroshi Tanahashi in New Japan.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I don't know what that happening. I don't know. I
- 19:22Speaker 1: know what you're getting. You're talking about the rock yeahs
- 19:26Speaker 1: continue continue. You have taketure with an MGPDW shirt on.
- 19:29Speaker 1: That's true, Like what are you doing? Rock? You just
- 19:33Speaker 1: you know, I mean, in this day and age with
- 19:36Speaker 1: professional wrestling, it could be anything. There is a possibility.
- 19:39Speaker 1: I would have loved to see it. I would love
- 19:41Speaker 1: to see John Cena go over go cross seas to
- 19:44Speaker 1: New Japan and just have a match with Hiroshi tanah
- 19:47Speaker 1: Hashi because their careers really parallel each other. They're both
- 19:52Speaker 1: they both were the face of their company when both
- 19:56Speaker 1: respective companies were not doing the best at that moment.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Some people even refer to Hiroshi Tanahashi as Japanese John Cena.
- 20:05Speaker 1: He does all the media for New for New Japan
- 20:08Speaker 1: as how John Cena has done all the media well
- 20:11Speaker 1: and tons of media, mind you, tons of media for WWE.
- 20:15Speaker 2: I would be interested in seeing the reaction, the crowd
- 20:19Speaker 2: reaction that John Sena would have.
- 20:21Speaker 1: In in Japan. Yeah, yeah, that would be that would
- 20:25Speaker 1: be something something interesting to see. But also I don't know,
- 20:28Speaker 1: And this is where I don't know, Josh, if this
- 20:30Speaker 1: is going to happen based on John Well, no, well
- 20:36Speaker 1: I don't. There might be that, but I don't know
- 20:38Speaker 1: how much influence they would have over that. I'm talking
- 20:41Speaker 1: about like John Cena's schedule anyway. I mean, who knows
- 20:46Speaker 1: how much he had to move around in order to
- 20:49Speaker 1: schedule out his last year in WWE. And that's yeah,
- 20:54Speaker 1: Air quotes never say never in professional wrestling, ain't that right,
- 20:57Speaker 1: Rick Flair? But yeah, so Hiroshi Tanahashi, Yeah, last match
- 21:07Speaker 1: in the United States. He spent like ten minutes after
- 21:09Speaker 1: the match high five and people and getting and doing
- 21:12Speaker 1: selfies and stuff. And you want to talk about being over,
- 21:15Speaker 1: that is called being over.
- 21:18Speaker 2: So speaking of over, this segment is now over.
- 21:21Speaker 1: It is yeah on this well, now we're going to
- 21:23Speaker 1: the next one.
- 21:24Speaker 2: On this day in.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Wrestling history, April thirteenth, nineteen ninety the Tokyo Dome we
- 21:41Speaker 1: were just talking about, New Japan played host to a
- 21:43Speaker 1: rare card promoted co promoted by WWE and All Japan
- 21:46Speaker 1: Pro Wrestling, well all Japan, but yeah, yeah WWF at
- 21:51Speaker 1: the time. In the main event, Stan Hansen was defeated
- 21:54Speaker 1: by Hulk Hogan and other interesting matches. Andre the Giant
- 21:57Speaker 1: teamed with Giant Baba to defeat Demolition, who is not
- 22:01Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. They're not, but the chalk
- 22:04Speaker 1: Master is. Janrio Tenriu defeated much of Man, Randy Savage
- 22:08Speaker 1: and Brett Hart fought to a twenty minute draw with
- 22:10Speaker 1: Tiger Mask. I would have honestly loved to see that match.
- 22:14Speaker 1: See that. Ten Times Fast No No April thirteenth, nineteen
- 22:19Speaker 1: ninety seven, e CW Barely Legal, the promotion's first ever
- 22:22Speaker 1: pay per view took place at the fabled ECW Arena
- 22:25Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the main event, hardcore legendary Funk
- 22:30Speaker 1: defeated Raven to win the ECW Championship. In order to
- 22:34Speaker 1: qualify for the match, Funk had to defeat Stevie Richards
- 22:38Speaker 1: and The Sandman in a three way dance. Earlier on
- 22:42Speaker 1: the card, the eliminators John Cronus and Perry Saturn defeated
- 22:46Speaker 1: the Dudley Boys, Bubba Rat and Devon for the ECW
- 22:49Speaker 1: Tag Team Championship. In one of the most anticipated matches
- 22:53Speaker 1: in ECW history. Excuse me, in ECW history, Taz defeated
- 22:58Speaker 1: his nemesis Savage after months of not touching each other
- 23:02Speaker 1: even once. Yeah, they went through this whole thing for
- 23:05Speaker 1: months where they just wouldn't. I guess they would have interactions,
- 23:08Speaker 1: but there was no physical altercation between them untill we
- 23:12Speaker 1: had this.
- 23:13Speaker 2: Pay per view. You know, it wasn't always Bubba Ray.
- 23:15Speaker 2: It was bab Bah yeacause of his stutter gimmick.
- 23:19Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, there's also a lot of different Dudley's.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Some we can't say on the air.
- 23:24Speaker 4: Nope, No, Yeah, like Spike Dudley, he's actually doing pretty
- 23:28Speaker 4: good for himself.
- 23:28Speaker 1: He is. Yeah, good for him, happy for him. No
- 23:31Speaker 1: injuries like no No could take a bump like no Weather.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Oh my god, he could also. Speaking of ECW, I
- 23:40Speaker 1: did not realize this was the twenty fifth anniversary of
- 23:43Speaker 1: this particular match. April thirteenth, two thousand, at a show
- 23:47Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, Indiana, a unique ECW championship match took place.
- 23:52Speaker 1: WWE star Superstar Taz defeated WCW wrestler Mike Awesome to
- 23:58Speaker 1: win the championship on an ECW show. The match came
- 24:02Speaker 1: about when Awesome signed for WCW Wow ECW champion and
- 24:06Speaker 1: technically still under ECW contract. Dropping the title in this
- 24:11Speaker 1: fashion was part of the negotiations to avoid legal action
- 24:15Speaker 1: incited by Paul Hammon and ECW.
- 24:17Speaker 2: And thankfully, when Mike Ausain went to WCW, he was
- 24:21Speaker 2: never given a terrible gimmick such as that seventies guy
- 24:25Speaker 2: Mike Awesome or the fat chick thriller Mike Awesome. Yep,
- 24:31Speaker 2: thankfully they never did that to Mike Awesome.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Go watch Mike Ausame and Masato Tanaka at ACW One
- 24:39Speaker 1: Night Say in two thousand and five. Yeah, really do yeah, great,
- 24:42Speaker 1: magic brutal.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Remember that Deserve. It was that seventies guy Mike Awesome
- 24:49Speaker 2: who came to the ring in a bus designed like
- 24:52Speaker 2: the Partridge Family bus. I just saw that on Deadlock Pro.
- 24:56Speaker 2: He was also the Fat Chick thriller Mighty Costs Jesus.
- 25:02Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break rates there, and
- 25:05Speaker 1: when we come back, we have WrestleMania forty one Night

- 25:53Speaker 1: So we did do a little talking off the air.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Originally I was going to do this as two separate scorecards,
- 26:00Speaker 1: but after some deliberation, we're just going to combine that.
- 26:04Speaker 1: It's a mega card. Yes, and then the next card, well,
- 26:08Speaker 1: we have squirrels. Squirrel Oh I will I can confidently
- 26:15Speaker 1: say that, yes, they do. I could confidently say that
- 26:20Speaker 1: that is still shown around West Virginia State University. It's
- 26:24Speaker 1: really good. It is a rite of passage, and oh
- 26:35Speaker 1: it's so great. Prediction WrestleMania forty one one predictions. We
- 26:42Speaker 1: do have one bonus. We do have one bonus on here,
- 26:45Speaker 1: and that is who will be Randy Orton's opponent Bobby Blaze.
- 26:49Speaker 1: If it's Bubby Blaze, I'll mark out not no, no, no,
- 26:55Speaker 1: I can confidently say it will not be Ultimate Dragon.
- 26:58Speaker 1: You know, you know what's really said, Chad not on
- 27:00Speaker 1: this card.
- 27:01Speaker 2: But it's sad. Yeah, You'll think someone would like his level,
- 27:05Speaker 2: he would know he would be on.
- 27:06Speaker 1: You said they put this El Grandi Americano on there.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Well here, let me let me start it off. Okay,
- 27:12Speaker 2: so are these matches the rundown for the card or
- 27:17Speaker 2: are these just in order?
- 27:21Speaker 1: I was gonna say they.
- 27:21Speaker 4: I don't think these are in er not in the
- 27:23Speaker 4: only one that is one in order it will be
- 27:25Speaker 4: the main event other than not that's just yeah.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Okay, So starting off, starting to have the champ Tiffany
- 27:33Speaker 2: Stratton Tiffy Time versus Charlotte Flair for the WWE Women's Championship. Jeff,
- 27:38Speaker 2: who do you have? And Stratton brother?
- 27:41Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they did? You know what you do, work
- 27:43Speaker 1: yourself into a shooting and you're just shooting. After that,
- 27:48Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Stratton, I don't I don't know why.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I just wanted to because I think it will be
- 27:57Speaker 1: I think it will be Charlotte.
- 27:59Speaker 2: But I'm going to Tiffany because I do not want
- 28:02Speaker 2: it to be Charlotte. I cannot vote Charlotte.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I mean, I'll say with their segment that they did
- 28:10Speaker 1: on SmackDown the other night not correct. Well know, they
- 28:16Speaker 1: just did the parking thing. I'm talking about the yeah,
- 28:18Speaker 1: the segment. Yeah, when they went completely off scrap. If anything,
- 28:23Speaker 1: that segment alone added way more interest to this. Yes,
- 28:27Speaker 1: they really need cooked on that. Yeah. Yeah, Like Charlotte's
- 28:32Speaker 1: comeback was weak. Oh yeah, very weak.
- 28:35Speaker 4: Josh, I'm gonna have to go Tiffy Town to I
- 28:40Speaker 4: just don't want Charlotte winning, even though it feels like, yeah,
- 28:42Speaker 4: she probably do.
- 28:43Speaker 2: I think Charlotte's good, I do, yeah, but I think
- 28:47Speaker 2: she's honestly also just kind of overdone.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Yeah, even though like and that really speaks to how
- 28:54Speaker 1: much she's been featured in the main event for the
- 28:55Speaker 1: women is she's been gone, she's been out of action,
- 28:59Speaker 1: gone for for a little bit. Now, yeah, comes back,
- 29:02Speaker 1: when's the Royal Rumble, immediately gets starting to the main event, and.
- 29:04Speaker 2: People are like really, yeah, like that just yeah, that
- 29:08Speaker 2: kind of just I didn't want her to win the Rumble,
- 29:10Speaker 2: but I knew it was gonna happen. That's why I
- 29:11Speaker 2: picked her.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Anyways. Yeah, Gunter will be defending his world heavyweight title
- 29:17Speaker 1: against the main event, not in the main event against
- 29:20Speaker 1: jay Us. I'm going Gunter. It's got to be Gunter.
- 29:24Speaker 2: It has to be Gunter. That's who I'm going with.
- 29:28Speaker 1: I know I was gonna say. I know that they
- 29:31Speaker 1: just did the segment with Jimmy and and Gunter and
- 29:35Speaker 1: just you know, just beating the tar out of them
- 29:38Speaker 1: and everything, and yeah, they added a little bit of
- 29:40Speaker 1: interest to this match, but I still think it's going
- 29:42Speaker 1: to be Gunter.
- 29:42Speaker 2: No, just because you have the crowd with you, for
- 29:47Speaker 2: one thing, for just Yeat doesn't mean you should have
- 29:51Speaker 2: that title. No, Gunter is better just and he's all
- 29:57Speaker 2: out better absolutely all. He's a better character. I think
- 30:00Speaker 2: he's a more believable character than someone who goes yeat.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Yes.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Also, like.
- 30:08Speaker 1: I've been a Gunther fan ever since he was called Vaulter,
- 30:12Speaker 1: like heops. Yeah, the chops are still nasty, yeah, I
- 30:15Speaker 1: mean he I will say this, Gunter's chops are like
- 30:19Speaker 1: Okada's drop kicks. They are just posh out, yes, but
- 30:24Speaker 1: I'm just saying like they are. They are poetry in motion,
- 30:26Speaker 1: and I think Gunter has some of the best chops
- 30:29Speaker 1: in the business that maybe ever in the business, same
- 30:31Speaker 1: as I feel about Okada's drop kick. Anyway, Josh, you.
- 30:34Speaker 4: Know, I have to agree with everything you guys say
- 30:36Speaker 4: is going through. He he needs, the way he deserves,
- 30:38Speaker 4: the way he's jay Us you're going USO, going USO.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Okay, and by the way, uh yeah.
- 30:45Speaker 4: The main event, I mean, everything they've been booking behind him,
- 30:48Speaker 4: it's going to be him.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Okay.
- 30:51Speaker 4: We may not like it, Okay, I don't want him
- 30:55Speaker 4: to lose, going through to lose, but yeah.
- 30:58Speaker 1: All right, Jade Cargo versus Naomi. Jimmy's going to cost him.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Jimmy's going to cost the match. Yeah, mm hmmm.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, because I think Jimmy could come
- 31:10Speaker 2: out and it could cause another match between Jimmy and Jade.
- 31:14Speaker 1: To where they will.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Five Star Classic of super Kicks yep, the super kick
- 31:21Speaker 2: on a Pole match, Jack.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Vaughn thatot slap. I'm going Naomi for this one, really, yes,
- 31:29Speaker 1: I'm why.
- 31:32Speaker 4: Before we get into that, we should say this is
- 31:34Speaker 4: a kind of a historical match. Is the first one
- 31:36Speaker 4: on one women's match without any kind of championship on
- 31:38Speaker 4: the line since like two thousand and six?
- 31:40Speaker 1: Really? Yeah, when was the last one? You know? I
- 31:45Speaker 1: asked him too quickly. I don't remember which match it was,
- 31:47Speaker 1: but it was like mid two thousands. Wow. Okay.
- 31:50Speaker 4: It also doesn't have any kind of stipulation applied to
- 31:52Speaker 4: it either. It's just a regular singles match, Okay. I
- 31:57Speaker 4: just I know that they're they've really been pushing Jade. Yeah,
- 32:01Speaker 4: but I've seen that they've repackaged Naomi and everything.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I think I'm going to get some flak for this.
- 32:08Speaker 1: I think Naomi's better in the ring than Jade at
- 32:10Speaker 1: the moment. Okay, and I just if they're going to
- 32:13Speaker 1: go through all this repackaging with Naomi, I feel like
- 32:16Speaker 1: it would be all for nothing just to feed her
- 32:18Speaker 1: to Jade. That's that's my reasoning behind that. So what
- 32:23Speaker 1: you got, Jason, I'm.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Going Jade Cargo I am. I think they she was
- 32:29Speaker 2: a big signing that they did. They put a lot
- 32:32Speaker 2: of motion behind her. She ended up getting hurt. I
- 32:35Speaker 2: think we all knew that this match was going to happen,
- 32:38Speaker 2: that the turn was going to happen, that it would
- 32:40Speaker 2: end up being Jade and Naomi. Honestly, I'm not a
- 32:44Speaker 2: huge Naomi fan.
- 32:46Speaker 1: You have mentioned that on the show before.
- 32:49Speaker 2: I like Jade. You know, she has a very impressive physique,
- 32:52Speaker 2: she has a impressive strength.
- 32:54Speaker 1: She looks a lot better since she's come back to
- 32:57Speaker 1: where is Bianca Bellair in all of this? She's Night
- 33:00Speaker 1: to night two Women's world to them much Okay, Okay.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm going Corgil, Josh.
- 33:07Speaker 1: I have to agree. I'm going to Cargill as well.
- 33:10Speaker 2: It's because you like to pick a winner, yeah, as
- 33:13Speaker 2: he picked j.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Because he's gonna win bank on that.
- 33:18Speaker 2: No, he can only win if he's in the main event.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Scoot in the main event of Saturday night's main event.
- 33:25Speaker 2: Okay, yes, so he's not gonna win, all right.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Next match for the World Tag Team Championship, the war Raiders,
- 33:34Speaker 1: Eric and Ivar will be defending their title against the
- 33:36Speaker 1: New Day of A Kingston and Xavier Woods.
- 33:40Speaker 2: New Day.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Yeah, it's New Day. I just I to be completely
- 33:46Speaker 1: honest with you. I forgot the war Raiders were World
- 33:48Speaker 1: Tag Team Champions. I did too, Yeah, I did. Yeah,
- 33:52Speaker 1: And I think if you because WrestleMania itself is sort
- 33:56Speaker 1: of a reset for the next year. Everything culminates at WrestleMania. Yeah,
- 34:00Speaker 1: I think it would be smart to put the titles
- 34:02Speaker 1: because Jason and both just said it. We forgot that
- 34:06Speaker 1: war Raiders were World Tag Team champions. Put it on
- 34:08Speaker 1: the New Day. And they're a great tag team anyway.
- 34:10Speaker 1: They're a legendary tag team, future Hall of Famers, etcetera, etcetera.
- 34:13Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I think the war Raiders need to
- 34:16Speaker 2: leave WWE yep, because they were so much better and
- 34:20Speaker 2: so much more free as war Machine out on the
- 34:23Speaker 2: Indies or in New Japan or anywhere they would go.
- 34:27Speaker 1: And it we've and I know I've said this on
- 34:29Speaker 1: the show before it comes down to there are certain
- 34:32Speaker 1: people that thrive that can really make a name for
- 34:36Speaker 1: theirself in the WWE system, and I'm not and I'm
- 34:38Speaker 1: not disparaging it. No, and there's people who are better
- 34:42Speaker 1: outside of it.
- 34:43Speaker 2: I don't think it helped that they came in and
- 34:46Speaker 2: they were given vikings, Yes, Like I think that really
- 34:50Speaker 2: hindered a lot of momentum that they could experience vikings.
- 34:56Speaker 1: That's what the people want, you know.
- 34:59Speaker 2: I think it just really hindered any momentum that they
- 35:02Speaker 2: were ever gonna have. And no matter how great they
- 35:04Speaker 2: are in the ring, I think they're a great team
- 35:06Speaker 2: in the ring. I think they can do amazing things
- 35:08Speaker 2: for their size. But they're just another team.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Yeah, in a way they are.
- 35:15Speaker 2: There's nothing impressive about them in the lane of giants.
- 35:19Speaker 1: They and they and and they're both not small, No, guys, No,
- 35:23Speaker 1: uh So, I wanted to agree with you, and I
- 35:26Speaker 1: love war Machine.
- 35:27Speaker 2: So are you going with New Day? I am New Day, Josh.
- 35:32Speaker 1: So.
- 35:32Speaker 4: I remembered they were tag champs, but I've barely seen
- 35:35Speaker 4: anything of them since they've been tag.
- 35:37Speaker 2: I think they've defended them one time.
- 35:39Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was actually gainst New Day too. I'm
- 35:44Speaker 4: gonna go New Day as well. Okay, I feel their
- 35:46Speaker 4: rain has been very lackluster.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Well and then with all the repackaging of New Day, you.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Know, yeah, I think that, I think, yeah, you're I
- 35:57Speaker 1: think you nailed on ahead with the repackaging of the
- 35:59Speaker 1: New Day. The next step, the next logical step for them,
- 36:02Speaker 1: They just they've were not they just turned on Biggie,
- 36:05Speaker 1: but they have gotten rid of that, they are moving on.
- 36:08Speaker 1: I think the next logical step is to put attacking
- 36:10Speaker 1: title on them. Yeah, you know.
- 36:12Speaker 2: And and it's always only been Xavier, Kofe and Biggie
- 36:17Speaker 2: and then Biggie left, and it's always only been a
- 36:20Speaker 2: Xavier and Kofe.
- 36:21Speaker 1: No one else was ever brought in.
- 36:23Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that they never brought in anyone else,
- 36:27Speaker 2: not even for a very short time.
- 36:29Speaker 1: No one else had ever been in. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 36:32Speaker 1: you know what, I know.
- 36:32Speaker 2: What you're.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Completely forgot about.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Is gonna be going up against Jacob but to for
- 36:39Speaker 2: the wwe U United States Championship.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Jeff, it's gotta be Jacob. It's gotta be Jacob. He's
- 36:47Speaker 1: he is a machine. He is an animal. Like I've
- 36:51Speaker 1: seen video, Jeff, I've seen Listen, I've seen videos of
- 36:54Speaker 1: him online like legitimately being a.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Good guy playing piano.
- 36:59Speaker 1: This really marking out for stuff.
- 37:01Speaker 2: You haven't seen that. No, Yeah, like him just backstage
- 37:04Speaker 2: and arena, like you found a piano and just started
- 37:06Speaker 2: playing it. You know what.
- 37:07Speaker 1: That's very it seems very much like him. But I've
- 37:10Speaker 1: seen him like straight up like help people put like
- 37:12Speaker 1: people who are disabled put their wheelchairs in their cars
- 37:15Speaker 1: and stuff. He seems like a great guy. But Jacob
- 37:18Speaker 1: Fatu the wrestler terrifying.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Jacob to the wrestler is the reason why they're in
- 37:22Speaker 2: the wheelchair. Jacob the person helps them get in yes
- 37:29Speaker 2: their car? Uh.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Out of out of all of the Bloodline, I think
- 37:34Speaker 1: besides Roman and the Rock, Jacob fau is probably my
- 37:40Speaker 1: my third favorite in the Bloodline altogether. Yeah, he's put
- 37:45Speaker 1: a title on them. Let's do it. Let's do it, Jason,
- 37:48Speaker 1: what do you got?
- 37:49Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be fat too, Okay, I think
- 37:53Speaker 2: this will be a you know, I'm just a stepping
- 37:56Speaker 2: stone to catapult him up higher, because he is what
- 38:00Speaker 2: everything they wanted Solo to be.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Exactly. You nailed that one, right, on the head. He yeah,
- 38:07Speaker 1: he is everything they wanted solo so to be. Gosh,
- 38:10Speaker 1: let me talk say yeah, yeah you know, is that
- 38:16Speaker 1: is that your first?
- 38:17Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 38:17Speaker 1: The whole the whole program. Yeah, I think so. Usually
- 38:23Speaker 1: thrown a few out at the beginning when I just
- 38:24Speaker 1: save it for mister l A. Knight. That's true, that's true, Ramastereo.
- 38:28Speaker 4: Versus I was gonna say they they came up short
- 38:31Speaker 4: last year without putting l A. Knight on the l
- 38:34Speaker 4: A WrestleMania. Now they got to feed him to the werewolf.
- 38:37Speaker 2: So I think for this match, l A not versus
- 38:40Speaker 2: Jacob to Jacob bar two is gonna say good night
- 38:44Speaker 2: l A Night and it will be over. Baby.
- 38:47Speaker 1: He's got a bathyicle. Baby, he's riding it out.
- 38:50Speaker 2: Baby.
- 38:51Speaker 5: L A.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Knight's gonna be like a bathyicle, will be too.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Tired, baby, Yeah yeah, baby.
- 38:57Speaker 1: Oh boy. Raymisteria versus l America.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Not Chad Ye should have been Chad Gable.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Should have been Chad Gable.
- 39:03Speaker 2: Really, I think this kind of plays back to Kurt
- 39:06Speaker 2: Angle and a Wig, like everyone knew who it was,
- 39:09Speaker 2: Like mister America, everyone knows who it is, but no
- 39:13Speaker 2: one knows that it's Chad Gable. It's not Chad Gable. Okay,
- 39:17Speaker 2: I'll tell you what they should do. Okay, really quick?
- 39:21Speaker 1: Uh.
- 39:21Speaker 2: El Grande Americano versus Elgenerico.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Yes, they need to go to that orphanage in Mexico
- 39:28Speaker 1: and get Elegenerico to come come down to.
- 39:30Speaker 2: The WrestleMania match that we want.
- 39:32Speaker 1: What if Egenerica interferes in this match, it'd.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Be a conspiracy, that is true.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Maybe Sammy can try to get him on the card. Maybe,
- 39:41Speaker 1: I mean, Sammy's ain't if you're listening to this, but
- 39:43Speaker 1: I don't think you are.
- 39:46Speaker 2: Kids. Why are you play with your kids?
- 39:48Speaker 1: Now? That's Heath.
- 39:50Speaker 2: No, it doesn't, sam He's ain't.
- 39:52Speaker 1: He does. But I'm just playing off of the Heath.
- 39:54Speaker 1: I got kids, gimmick Heath Heath. Yeah, he's got a bath,
- 40:02Speaker 1: that's sang. Yeah. Alter in America please versus El Grande Americano.
- 40:08Speaker 2: So raymisterio versus El Grande Americano, Jeff, who do you
- 40:11Speaker 2: have and why Americano? Is it because he's made in America?
- 40:16Speaker 1: No? I feel like it would do more for his career. No,
- 40:19Speaker 1: I think it's he's he's he's a young up and comer.
- 40:22Speaker 1: He is, uh, it's his Wrestlminga, Yes, exactly, it's his
- 40:26Speaker 1: WrestleMania debut. You know, REMISTERI is a legend, but his
- 40:32Speaker 1: legend doesn't proceed Ol Grande Americano. No, No, it doesn't,
- 40:35Speaker 1: It doesn't.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Do you think that this will lead into a summer
- 40:38Speaker 2: slim mask versus.
- 40:39Speaker 1: Mask match between Ray and El Grande Americano. Hmmm? Interesting,
- 40:47Speaker 1: that's an interesting thought.
- 40:48Speaker 2: Hey what you think about that?
- 40:51Speaker 1: Oh?
- 40:51Speaker 2: I guess it's my turn. Yeah, I'm also going to
- 40:55Speaker 2: Americano Americano. Okay, Oh Grande Americana. That means the Big America,
- 41:01Speaker 2: doesn't it? Yeah, the Big America, A large America. Jeff Quick, mirophone.
- 41:08Speaker 1: America, Big America, Josh, here do you got Americano one?
- 41:16Speaker 1: Americanos gonna be big, all right.
- 41:20Speaker 2: Biggest match, the big leiest match. It's gonna be so bigly.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Golf of America, main event of Night one. What we
- 41:30Speaker 1: know for sure of Golf. What we know as for
- 41:34Speaker 1: sure is the Night one main event. Roman Rains versus
- 41:38Speaker 1: Sea in Punk with Paul Hamon in his corner versus
- 41:41Speaker 1: seth Rawlins Trouble Threat match.
- 41:43Speaker 4: Does Haman turn on Punk and Roman inside with Rowlins.
- 41:47Speaker 4: I've seen it online.
- 41:49Speaker 2: Jeff, who do you have? You know rains punk with
- 41:52Speaker 2: Hayman and Rowlins.
- 41:54Speaker 4: Two of these men have actually won a main event.
- 41:57Speaker 4: One has never main invented nor has won because he's
- 41:59Speaker 4: never invented.
- 42:00Speaker 2: And none of the four Ultimore Dragon, none of them
- 42:04Speaker 2: we can confidently confirm. I don't know that.
- 42:07Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 42:08Speaker 2: I have done my research. They are not ultimate. Okay,
- 42:12Speaker 2: if Paul.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Hayman, hold on, if Paul Haymen comes out with an
- 42:14Speaker 1: Ultimore Dragon mask and all of the belts, no, really,
- 42:18Speaker 1: it's just like a bunch of like toy WWE belts.
- 42:21Speaker 1: It was like.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Leather suit belts. That's all it is. He's just draped
- 42:27Speaker 2: in business casual.
- 42:29Speaker 1: Belts, looking like David's bridle.
- 42:32Speaker 2: Now, before you pick, okay, keep in mind that whenever
- 42:36Speaker 2: seth Rowlins was going to go and curb stump Paul Hayman,
- 42:41Speaker 2: he jumped in front of him and then bent down
- 42:43Speaker 2: and said, now you owe me a favor, which I
- 42:45Speaker 2: didn't entirely understand, because I mean, I understand what he's
- 42:48Speaker 2: saying is like, I didn't do this, so you owe
- 42:50Speaker 2: me a favor. So is it going to be that
- 42:53Speaker 2: Roman reigns and see him Punk with Paul Hayman lose
- 42:58Speaker 2: to a seth Rowlins with Paul Hamon.
- 43:02Speaker 1: You know there. If there's one thing I know, Jason knows,
- 43:07Speaker 1: Josh knows, and all professional wrestling fans know about Paul Hamon,
- 43:10Speaker 1: pizza is tasty. Pizza is very tasty. If there's one
- 43:13Speaker 1: thing we all know about Paul Hamon can't be trusted
- 43:18Speaker 1: that he never found out brock Lessner when he turned
- 43:21Speaker 1: on him for Big Show. That's true, see him Punk two?
- 43:25Speaker 2: Yes, when he turned on him for Curtis Axel.
- 43:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of forgot about that one until just now.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Curtis Axel is a Paul Hamon guy. Really.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Also, I think Curtis Axel a great worker. Just the
- 43:38Speaker 2: Michael McGillicutty thing didn't do him any favors.
- 43:43Speaker 1: No, No, it's.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Like Husky Harris.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Yeah, but at least like Wyatt could have he did
- 43:51Speaker 1: something with that afterwards, like not the Husky Harris, but
- 43:54Speaker 1: was able to evolve into Yeah, but Ray Wyatt wasn't like, no,
- 44:02Speaker 1: he was he was not gonna like yeah, not going on,
- 44:06Speaker 1: not going to.
- 44:07Speaker 2: Be team whenever they that was pretended to be Bray
- 44:12Speaker 2: Waatt and Matt Hardy. I thought it was hilarious. They
- 44:15Speaker 2: should have just kept that going. They should have, they
- 44:17Speaker 2: should have. But the Michael McGillicutty thing, it is the
- 44:19Speaker 2: age of McGill cutty was dumb.
- 44:23Speaker 1: It was horrendous.
- 44:25Speaker 2: Anyways, Roman reigns Team Punk with Paul Hamlins. Jeff, who
- 44:28Speaker 2: do you have? And why? We know Paul Hamon can't
- 44:30Speaker 2: be trusted. We also know other things about him, like
- 44:33Speaker 2: he likes to wear a suit that he does he.
- 44:36Speaker 1: Does, he does exact money. I don't think it's gonna
- 44:39Speaker 1: be Rains. I don't think it's gonna be punk. Yes,
- 44:45Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Rolins. You think it's gonna
- 44:47Speaker 1: be shot Rollins. I thought you can't say that's fricking Rowland,
- 44:52Speaker 1: say he doesn't do that, because I hate that is.
- 44:56Speaker 1: He is a visionary, he isolary, he's the architect, but
- 45:00Speaker 1: he is Seth.
- 45:01Speaker 2: He can ride a bithicle, baby. I don't know, just
- 45:06Speaker 2: imagine everybody can I just know so Seth Rawlins.
- 45:11Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think Seampunk is going to
- 45:13Speaker 1: win his first wrestleming main event debut. I don't, okay,
- 45:19Speaker 1: who takes the pin?
- 45:21Speaker 2: You know what? We'll come back to that. I think
- 45:24Speaker 2: I'm going to agree with you. I think it's going
- 45:25Speaker 2: to be seth Rawlins. Okay, Josh, I can see it happening.
- 45:31Speaker 1: I can see it happening.
- 45:34Speaker 2: But but.
- 45:36Speaker 1: He's about to pull the lead course so not so fast.
- 45:39Speaker 4: I don't know something so fast. He's not very fast,
- 45:44Speaker 4: He's not.
- 45:45Speaker 2: He's he has a fast wite. He's quick witted. He's
- 45:50Speaker 2: quick witted. Martin Fellow, I'm learning Swedish, by the way,
- 45:54Speaker 2: doesn't have anything to do with this conversation.
- 45:56Speaker 1: But I just thought I would.
- 45:57Speaker 4: Mention that what's going to happen is Rock Lesner is
- 46:01Speaker 4: gonna return and just destroy them all and let seth
- 46:04Speaker 4: Rowlands win.
- 46:05Speaker 2: Okay, that's not happening. But you think seth Rowlans is
- 46:07Speaker 2: gonna win.
- 46:09Speaker 1: Give it to I'm sure.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Okay, So now let me ask who takes the who
- 46:14Speaker 2: takes the l on this? Who gets that pinfall or
- 46:17Speaker 2: that submission done to them?
- 46:19Speaker 1: Punk Punk? It backfires on him. He Punk was trying
- 46:25Speaker 1: to play chess with this by getting Paul Hayman in
- 46:29Speaker 1: his corner for the favor, but all of that's going
- 46:31Speaker 1: to backfire on him when payment turns on not only
- 46:34Speaker 1: him but Roman and sides with Rolins. What do you think, Josh? Yeah, yeah, listen,
- 46:40Speaker 1: I'll tell you this.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Okay, you heard it here first. Folks, if you're playing
- 46:44Speaker 2: chess and everyone else is playing checkers, you're playing the
- 46:48Speaker 2: wrong game and you're a moron. So yeah, it's I agree.
- 46:54Speaker 2: I think Punk is going to take the take the
- 46:56Speaker 2: fall on this one.
- 46:57Speaker 1: So so all three of us in agreement, I think.
- 47:00Speaker 2: So, yeah, I think so both ways on this.
- 47:02Speaker 1: You heard it. You heard it here first. Well here's
- 47:05Speaker 1: something else that you could hear first.
- 47:06Speaker 2: Baby, who is going to be Randall Keith Orton's opponent? Baby?
- 47:12Speaker 1: That's and why is.
- 47:13Speaker 2: It not Ultimore Dragon?
- 47:14Speaker 1: Baby?
- 47:15Speaker 2: That's who it should be?
- 47:16Speaker 1: Ultimate O not Ultimo Dragon. We all got would.
- 47:21Speaker 2: Always win because it's not Ultimate Dragon until the one
- 47:24Speaker 2: time that it will be.
- 47:26Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. You know is he still wrestling?
- 47:28Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 47:30Speaker 1: Where's yeah?
- 47:31Speaker 2: God in Japan? No, you should keep up with Ultimore Dragon. Loser.
- 47:35Speaker 2: Jesus also not Ultimo Dragon.
- 47:39Speaker 1: That's true. I know Jesus is not Ultimate He's not.
- 47:41Speaker 1: He's not. They did tease solo, so CoA, just putting
- 47:45Speaker 1: it out there. I don't think it's gonna be so Cola.
- 47:47Speaker 5: They tease solo, They put him in a solo match
- 47:52Speaker 5: one other one with solo, Hans Solo, great guy, Big
- 47:56Speaker 5: guy came up to me, tears in his eyes, said
- 48:01Speaker 5: it's gonna be me versus Randy Orton.
- 48:04Speaker 1: Mhm, it's gonna be by.
- 48:09Speaker 5: I opened up the waters and made that timber Lake flow.
- 48:12Speaker 1: Terrible black or rus Day that.
- 48:19Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're getting a phone call, Jeff, I.
- 48:22Speaker 1: Am'm getting a phone call Chicago.
- 48:24Speaker 2: Do I need to answer it again? We've done that before.
- 48:27Speaker 1: No, No, ain't Chicago. I'm gonna say Ruse m m yep.
- 48:32Speaker 1: Could be russ because I think they're where they are
- 48:36Speaker 1: bringing allegedly whatever bringing him in. This would be smart
- 48:42Speaker 1: to just kind of just pull just throw him in
- 48:44Speaker 1: in there with Rain.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Randy m Randy yep.
- 48:50Speaker 1: Oh.

- 48:53Speaker 2: bring in a tank mm hmm for WrestleMania.
- 48:58Speaker 1: No, I went out the tanks. Give him God's greatest entrance.
- 49:04Speaker 1: I want him to say thank you.
- 49:09Speaker 2: You know, I wasn't expecting Russe, but that's a really
- 49:13Speaker 2: good shout, but I'm gonna go Alistair black, So you
- 49:17Speaker 2: go Russev, I'll go black. Josh, which way are you
- 49:21Speaker 2: going to go?

- 49:29Speaker 1: typeo there. Keep telling people that I can't spell Josh.
- 49:36Speaker 1: He's from West Virginia.
- 49:37Speaker 4: I am anyone else who's currently out, who's not on
