Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / WWE Smackdown 4/10/26 Review | The Most PATHETIC SEGMENT IN SMACKDOWN HISTORY
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, there have been times over the years. I've been
- 0:02Speaker 1: watching WWEE television for a very long time, and there
- 0:07Speaker 1: have been many occasions over the years where I have
- 0:10Speaker 1: been embarrassed to watch this television show, whether it be Rawsmackdown,
- 0:14Speaker 1: whatever it may be. You know, Katie Vick for example,
- 0:18Speaker 1: comes to mind. That's sort of at the top of
- 0:20Speaker 1: the list, right, Katie Vick. That doesn't really get any
- 0:22Speaker 1: worse than that. There's been some bad, god awful television
- 0:25Speaker 1: over the years. I don't know that I have ever
- 0:30Speaker 1: seen a segment as embarrassing, just on all levels as
- 0:36Speaker 1: the one that we saw tonight on this SmackDown show.
- 0:39Speaker 1: I really don't when you really take everything together collectively,
- 0:43Speaker 1: like when you consider what the segment was, when you
- 0:45Speaker 1: consider that this was a segment that was promoting a
- 0:47Speaker 1: WrestleMania main event, We're not just talking about some random program.
- 0:52Speaker 1: We're not talking about some random feud, We're not talking
- 0:54Speaker 1: about some random pl main event. We're talking about one
- 0:58Speaker 1: of the WrestleMania main events which has been hijacked, hijacked
- 1:05Speaker 1: by an outsider being brought in for reasons that have
- 1:09Speaker 1: absolutely nothing to do with the story that was being told.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Between the two men that are actually in the main event,
- 1:16Speaker 1: because that's really what's happened here, right, whoever you want
- 1:19Speaker 1: to lay the blame on for this, This main event,
- 1:22Speaker 1: which was going along, you know, perfectly fine, was hijacked
- 1:26Speaker 1: and now it has turned into something completely I mean,
- 1:29Speaker 1: I don't even recognize what this match is. I don't
- 1:32Speaker 1: even recognize what this match between Cody Rhodes and Randy
- 1:35Speaker 1: Orton at WrestleMania is supposed to be. I really don't.
- 1:39Speaker 1: But I'm watching this segment and like the word embarrassed,
- 1:42Speaker 1: the word pathetic comes to mind. They were trying so
- 1:48Speaker 1: hard tonight to sell tickets to a show that is
- 1:53Speaker 1: not sold out. And the reason we know this is
- 1:55Speaker 1: because they have beaten us over the head with it
- 1:57Speaker 1: over the past week on their own television show. They
- 2:00Speaker 1: did it last Friday, they did it on Monday, they
- 2:02Speaker 1: did it again tonight. WrestleMania is not sold out, and
- 2:07Speaker 1: so to incorporate this, I mean, what they did last
- 2:09Speaker 1: week was bad enough, but to continue to incorporate that
- 2:13Speaker 1: into the story and do what they did tonight was
- 2:17Speaker 1: sheer desperation on the part of this company, the likes
- 2:20Speaker 1: of which I cannot ever, recall seeing as we build
- 2:23Speaker 1: to a WrestleMania main event, like I've seen some bad
- 2:26Speaker 1: WrestleMania builds before, to a main event, nothing like what
- 2:31Speaker 1: we saw tonight. This was a truly historic night here
- 2:36Speaker 1: on SmackDown. And I'm not even talking about the fact
- 2:39Speaker 1: that you know, we've talked about SmackDown just as the
- 2:42Speaker 1: drizzling diarrhea shits right now. It is the worst show
- 2:45Speaker 1: on television, certainly in terms of wrestling shows, the worst
- 2:47Speaker 1: show on television. But just watching Pat McAfee out there
- 2:52Speaker 1: in the middle of the ring doing his shtick, you know,
- 2:55Speaker 1: which is what he is being told to do. This
- 2:58Speaker 1: is not even a personal on Pat McAfee. The funny
- 3:02Speaker 1: thing about all of this is that Pat McAfee, up
- 3:05Speaker 1: until last week was actually a beloved figure by and
- 3:09Speaker 1: large by the WWE audience. You know, he had been there,
- 3:14Speaker 1: he had been commentator, he had been on television for
- 3:16Speaker 1: a number of years, and I think by and large
- 3:18Speaker 1: the audience they respected him, They liked him. They could
- 3:22Speaker 1: plug him in wherever they needed him, like they did
- 3:24Speaker 1: last year with that match with gunthri if they needed
- 3:26Speaker 1: a you know, a babyface to plug in there and
- 3:30Speaker 1: so now they've they've taken someone who the fans previously
- 3:33Speaker 1: liked and they said, okay, we're going to make you
- 3:35Speaker 1: a heal now. And now the fans are, you know,
- 3:36Speaker 1: shitting all over him. Okay, fine, I guess, but he
- 3:42Speaker 1: is now the focal point of WrestleMania this year. I
- 3:45Speaker 1: want you to think about that. Pat McAfee is the
- 3:49Speaker 1: focal point for WrestleMania. And this is where we are
- 3:54Speaker 1: right now. Now. They had an opportunity after last week
- 3:58Speaker 1: because we know this is the this is something that
- 4:00Speaker 1: was run up the flag pole. This goes higher than
- 4:03Speaker 1: WWE creative, right, We've heard all the stories over the
- 4:05Speaker 1: past week. We know where this originates from. This goes
- 4:08Speaker 1: beyond anybody in the writer's room. This goes beyond just
- 4:11Speaker 1: the creative brain trust in WWE. But even still ari
- 4:16Speaker 1: Emanuel himself. They had a week to look at the
- 4:20Speaker 1: situation and abort mission. To abort the mission, you can
- 4:25Speaker 1: still push ticket sales, you can still lower ticket prices
- 4:28Speaker 1: and push ticket sales. You could do all of that
- 4:31Speaker 1: stuff if you want to. But they had a week
- 4:33Speaker 1: to look at this and go, Okay, we see the reaction.
- 4:37Speaker 1: We see that people have been shitting all over this
- 4:40Speaker 1: all week long, and yes, last week's show apparently did
- 4:43Speaker 1: better ratings than SmackDown has done in a very long time,
- 4:45Speaker 1: which is not surprising because they had advertise coming into
- 4:48Speaker 1: the show that we would get the reveal for the
- 4:51Speaker 1: Randy Orton phone call angles, so of course nobody knew
- 4:53Speaker 1: what the reveal was going to be, but they built
- 4:56Speaker 1: this up over a period of weeks. I'm not at
- 4:58Speaker 1: all surprised to find out that last week was a
- 5:01Speaker 1: highly rated episode of SmackDown. Even still, there was still
- 5:06Speaker 1: time for them to abandon ship and salvage this WrestleMania
- 5:12Speaker 1: main event that they had been building between Cody Roads
- 5:14Speaker 1: and Randy Orton. And it would have been as simple
- 5:15Speaker 1: as Randy Orton coming out this week because the man
- 5:18Speaker 1: is a viper, the man is a snake, and Pat
- 5:21Speaker 1: McAfee's out there acting like a fool and he gets
- 5:24Speaker 1: you dropped with an RKO. Never trust the snake, and
- 5:28Speaker 1: we could all just forget that any of this shit
- 5:30Speaker 1: ever happened. Now. Of course, what that would have accomplished
- 5:33Speaker 1: is it would have put Randy Orton in a position
- 5:35Speaker 1: to be cheered even more than he was already being cheered,
- 5:39Speaker 1: so they didn't do that. Instead, they doubled down on
- 5:42Speaker 1: what we saw last week. They didn't read the room,
- 5:45Speaker 1: and we ended up what we ended up with tonight.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Pat McAfee coming into the show promised a massive surprise,
- 5:52Speaker 1: massive surprise. Now, of course, you should know better than
- 5:56Speaker 1: to trust WWE when it comes to any sort of
- 6:00Speaker 1: massive surprise or any sort of mystery angle that they
- 6:04Speaker 1: may be doing in terms of what the payoff might be.
- 6:06Speaker 1: And if you were left disappointed tonight, then you have
- 6:09Speaker 1: nobody to blame for that but yourself. I don't know
- 6:11Speaker 1: what the fuck you've been paying attention to. This is
- 6:13Speaker 1: WWE that we're talking about here. What did you expect? Truly,
- 6:17Speaker 1: what did you expect tonight? The big surprise to be
- 6:20Speaker 1: the rock Give me a break, But he promised a
- 6:24Speaker 1: massive surprise for this show. Do you want to know
- 6:27Speaker 1: what that surprise was? Would you like to know what
- 6:30Speaker 1: the massive surprise was for SmackDown tonight? Pat McAfee, in
- 6:35Speaker 1: the course of his promo, mentioned that Ram Trucks the
- 6:40Speaker 1: official sponsor of WrestleMania. He made a phone call to
- 6:46Speaker 1: Ram Trucks and he got them to agree to cover
- 6:50Speaker 1: twenty five percent of all night one only only Night
- 6:54Speaker 1: one WrestleMania tickets that are purchased from now up until
- 6:58Speaker 1: the end of Raw this Monday night. And as soon
- 7:02Speaker 1: as he said it, men, they couldn't get that fucking
- 7:04Speaker 1: graphic up on that screen quick enough twenty five percent off.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So hey, the good news is that if you would
- 7:10Speaker 1: like to go to WrestleMania, they did, in fact drop
- 7:13Speaker 1: ticket prices, because now you've got twenty five percent off
- 7:16Speaker 1: for WrestleMania Saturday now through Monday. Get your tickets now.
- 7:21Speaker 1: So for everybody who wants to be there live to
- 7:23Speaker 1: witness Pat McAfee against Cody or Randy Orton against Cody Rhodes,
- 7:29Speaker 1: I presume with Pat McAfee in his corner at ringside,
- 7:33Speaker 1: because he's in the graphic. In fact, the graphic for
- 7:36Speaker 1: SmackDown tonight, I'm convinced they're trolling us at this point.
- 7:39Speaker 1: The preview graphic for SmackDown Tonight had Cody Rhodes and
- 7:43Speaker 1: Pat McAfee and Randy Orton was literally relegated to the background.
- 7:49Speaker 1: He has been relegated, And if you watch the television
- 7:51Speaker 1: show tonight, it actually makes all the sense in the
- 7:54Speaker 1: world because Randy Orton was a background player tonight. He
- 7:59Speaker 1: was in the background. We were one week away from WrestleMania.
- 8:03Speaker 1: One half of the WrestleMania main event is now a
- 8:05Speaker 1: bit player in the background. The real players here are
- 8:09Speaker 1: Pat McAfee and Cody Rhodes. That is what this has become.
- 8:13Speaker 1: But that was the big surprise tonight. The majority of
- 8:16Speaker 1: the people who were watching this television show all over
- 8:18Speaker 1: the country and all over the world, they're not even
- 8:20Speaker 1: attending this fucking event. But boy, they made sure that
- 8:24Speaker 1: you knew they were twenty five percent off for all
- 8:26Speaker 1: WrestleMania Night one tickets. Thanks Ram, ram it up your ass.
- 8:34Speaker 1: That was the big surprise tonight for those of you
- 8:36Speaker 1: who are wondering what it was. But that wasn't the
- 8:38Speaker 1: only surprise that we got. Oh no, wwe was full
- 8:41Speaker 1: of surprises tonight because Jelly Roll was back on the show. Now,
- 8:45Speaker 1: the last time we saw jelly Roll was a couple
- 8:47Speaker 1: of weeks ago. He got dropped with an RKO by
- 8:50Speaker 1: Randy Orton. And I told you last week. I said,
- 8:52Speaker 1: don't be surprised. Don't be surprised if the main event
- 8:57Speaker 1: of Backlash turns out to be a tag team match
- 9:00Speaker 1: with Randy Orton and Pat McAfee against Cody Rhodes and
- 9:04Speaker 1: Jelly Roll and now Dave Meltzer and The Observer this
- 9:07Speaker 1: week had that very report that the current plan for
- 9:10Speaker 1: Backlash on May ninth, which I believe is in Tampa,
- 9:15Speaker 1: is to do a tag team match with Cody Rhodes
- 9:18Speaker 1: and Jelly Roll against Randy Orton and Pat McAfee. The
- 9:22Speaker 1: same Pat McAfee who reiterated tonight that if Randy Orton
- 9:25Speaker 1: does not leave Las Vegas as the WWE champion, that he,
- 9:28Speaker 1: being McAfee, will never again appear on wrestling television, which
- 9:33Speaker 1: would seem to telegraph the outcome of the main event
- 9:36Speaker 1: of Night one. So Jelly Roll was back on the
- 9:41Speaker 1: show and he was angry. Oh, he was very angry.
- 9:44Speaker 1: He was very angry. He wanted to get his hands
- 9:47Speaker 1: on Randy Orton for what he did. He literally put
- 9:50Speaker 1: his hands on Pat McAfee. They're building a few between
- 9:52Speaker 1: Jelly Roll and Pat McAfee. Yes, And in fact, at
- 9:57Speaker 1: the end of the segment with Pat McAfee and Cody Rose,
- 10:01Speaker 1: Randy Orton finally popped up on the tron about five
- 10:05Speaker 1: hours after the fucking promo started and we see Randy
- 10:08Speaker 1: Orton and he had off camera. He had assaulted Jelly Roll,
- 10:13Speaker 1: he had laid him out. Evidently, this is supposed to
- 10:16Speaker 1: get heat because they're trying to get Randy Orton booed.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Do you know what they accomplished tonight, Randy Orton? They
- 10:25Speaker 1: accomplished one thing. Randy Orton is no longer getting cheered,
- 10:28Speaker 1: at least he wasn't tonight in San Jose, So good job, guys.
- 10:32Speaker 1: But guess what, Randy Orton barely got any kind of
- 10:34Speaker 1: reaction at all, whatsoever. He went from getting overwhelming sheers
- 10:38Speaker 1: and these great ovations when he would come out because
- 10:40Speaker 1: the people wanted to see him win number fifteen at WrestleMania,
- 10:43Speaker 1: and he comes out tonight and he gets nothing, nothing,
- 10:48Speaker 1: He gets no reaction. You know who's getting all the
- 10:50Speaker 1: heat right now, Pat McAfee is getting all the heat.
- 10:52Speaker 1: And now what they've done is they've taken Randy Orton.
- 10:54Speaker 1: He's coming out and the fans don't know what the
- 10:56Speaker 1: fuck to think. So good job, guys, good job. And
- 11:03Speaker 1: when the segment was over, guess who walked away with
- 11:05Speaker 1: the WWE championship over his shoulder, not Randy Orton, not
- 11:10Speaker 1: Cody Rhoades, Pat McAfee, because he is now officially the
- 11:15Speaker 1: center of attention here on this show. He is the center,
- 11:18Speaker 1: the central focus of this story. I have nothing against
- 11:22Speaker 1: Pat McAfee as a performer. He has been used in
- 11:26Speaker 1: rolls before, even the Gunther stuff, which I didn't mind him. Pat. Look,
- 11:31Speaker 1: he's done a good job with that stuff before. We've
- 11:34Speaker 1: seen him play heel before many years ago in NXT
- 11:37Speaker 1: if you remember, I think he was on one side.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Adam Cole in the Undisputed Error were on the other side.
- 11:42Speaker 1: We've seen him do this before. And I already saw
- 11:45Speaker 1: some comments in the chat and in other places from
- 11:47Speaker 1: people saying, oh, well, this is the reaction that Pat
- 11:51Speaker 1: McAfee is talking about. He's talking about the IWC. He's
- 11:55Speaker 1: getting everybody riled up. It's getting the reaction that it's
- 11:59Speaker 1: desired to get. There are people who I swear to God,
- 12:03Speaker 1: I swear to God, they will defend every fucking thing
- 12:06Speaker 1: this company does until they're dying breadth. They will take
- 12:09Speaker 1: that WWE cock and they will shove it down their
- 12:11Speaker 1: throat until they fucking gag, and their dinner will be
- 12:14Speaker 1: all over the fucking floor. They feel compelled to defend
- 12:17Speaker 1: every move that this company makes. The point is not
- 12:19Speaker 1: whether or not Pat McAfee goes out there and gets heat.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Pat McAfee can go out there and get heat because
- 12:24Speaker 1: he's annoying. Of course he can get heat. That's not
- 12:26Speaker 1: the point. How do you not look at this and
- 12:28Speaker 1: understand what the problem is though? How do you defend that?
- 12:32Speaker 1: Don't you realize the real problem here is that you
- 12:35Speaker 1: have taken the focus away from the two performers in
- 12:38Speaker 1: the match. They are no longer the central focus of
- 12:42Speaker 1: this match at WrestleMania. What WWWE has done in one week, okay,
- 12:48Speaker 1: we now have two episodes of SmackDown in one week.
- 12:51Speaker 1: They have ruined one of the main events of WrestleMania.
- 12:55Speaker 1: And it started last week when Pat McAfee went out there.
- 12:58Speaker 1: And again is part of this angle brilliant idea that
- 13:00Speaker 1: they came up with, whether or not he was unscripted
- 13:03Speaker 1: and they didn't know what he was gonna say. The
- 13:05Speaker 1: fact is they sent him out there. They sent him
- 13:09Speaker 1: out there, and he cut a promo in an effort
- 13:11Speaker 1: to hype up WrestleMania talking about how everything sucks. Now
- 13:15Speaker 1: it's one thing if I come on here every week
- 13:17Speaker 1: and I tell you how everything sucks, because guess what,
- 13:19Speaker 1: it fucking sucks. I'm not gonna come on here and
- 13:22Speaker 1: lie to you. I'm telling you like it is. You
- 13:24Speaker 1: watch the same fucking show that I don tell me
- 13:26Speaker 1: I'm lying. You know, everything out of my mouth is
- 13:31Speaker 1: one hundred percent true. Every time I come on here
- 13:33Speaker 1: and talk about SmackDown, the worst television show right now
- 13:35Speaker 1: going in all of wrestling. It's been this way for
- 13:37Speaker 1: most of the year. It gets progressively worse week by week.
- 13:40Speaker 1: I am not telling any lies when I talk about that,
- 13:43Speaker 1: but it's one thing for me because I'm totally divorced
- 13:46Speaker 1: from all of this. Right, I'm an independent party here.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I have no connection to any of this shit. I
- 13:50Speaker 1: can come on here and give my honest opinions. Very
- 13:52Speaker 1: different when you have somebody go on the show and
- 13:54Speaker 1: as part of your main event angle, he goes out
- 13:56Speaker 1: there and says everything sucks, the product sucks, the roster sucks,
- 13:59Speaker 1: the champion sucks, the show isn't sold out, and we're
- 14:02Speaker 1: here to save wrestling. Right, everything's the shits, but we're
- 14:06Speaker 1: here to save wrestling. You don't see the issue with this.
- 14:12Speaker 1: How does that sell tickets? But what they've done is
- 14:15Speaker 1: they've taken a match that I was genuinely looking forward to,
- 14:17Speaker 1: and I've been waiting a few years to see WWE
- 14:20Speaker 1: finally do this match, and they have managed to ruin it.
- 14:24Speaker 1: They have taken a match that I was genuinely looking
- 14:26Speaker 1: forward to seeing at WrestleMania for a long time. And
- 14:30Speaker 1: now I find myself in a position where I sit
- 14:32Speaker 1: here and I'm like, I just can't wait for this
- 14:33Speaker 1: shit to be over with? Can we just get this
- 14:36Speaker 1: over with? Can we fast forward to the end of
- 14:37Speaker 1: this so we could be done with this? That's where
- 14:40Speaker 1: I am right now in this for Cony Roads and
- 14:44Speaker 1: Randy Yorton. Like, if you've listened to any of the
- 14:46Speaker 1: shows I've done over the last couple of years, you've
- 14:48Speaker 1: heard me talk about how man, I can't believe they
- 14:49Speaker 1: haven't done this match yet. I can't believe it. I
- 14:51Speaker 1: can't wait for them to finally do a proper story
- 14:53Speaker 1: between these two. There's so much history there to build on,
- 14:57Speaker 1: and now I find myself in a situation a week
- 14:59Speaker 1: out where it's like, I just can't wait for this
- 15:01Speaker 1: shit to be over with. That's fucking sad, and I
- 15:03Speaker 1: guarantee you I'm not the only one to feel that way. Now,
- 15:08Speaker 1: if you're somebody who actually likes what's going on, or
- 15:11Speaker 1: you think, oh man, this is adding a level of
- 15:13Speaker 1: excitement to WrestleMania that wasn't there before. Look, I'm not
- 15:16Speaker 1: even shitting on you for that, Like, whatever the fuck
- 15:19Speaker 1: you want to like, but don't sit here and tell
- 15:20Speaker 1: me that, oh, well, you know, the IWC only hates
- 15:23Speaker 1: it because they're getting worked, or the iw like, seriously,
- 15:26Speaker 1: fuck off, seriously, fuck right off with that. You have
- 15:30Speaker 1: to understand where these people who are watching this show
- 15:35Speaker 1: are coming from when they talk about how awful and
- 15:37Speaker 1: how counterproductive this angle is. That's set And by the way,
- 15:40Speaker 1: besides all of that, let's put that all on the
- 15:42Speaker 1: side here for a second. That segment tonight was fucking terrible.
- 15:46Speaker 1: It was a fucking awful, awful, fucking segment, just objectively
- 15:53Speaker 1: bad television. So it sucks that my interest level in
- 15:58Speaker 1: this match has plunged into the depths of hell. At
- 16:01Speaker 1: least we still have Roman Reigns in cmpunk on Night two.
- 16:04Speaker 1: That's honestly the best thing I can say about it.
- 16:06Speaker 1: They didn't announce officially the Jelly Roll is going to
- 16:08Speaker 1: be at WrestleMania in Cody's corner, but it stands to
- 16:11Speaker 1: reason that more than likely Jelly Roll will be a
- 16:13Speaker 1: part of this main event in some way, to which
- 16:16Speaker 1: I say, I don't give a shit. I don't give
- 16:19Speaker 1: a shit. I can't wait for all of this shit
- 16:23Speaker 1: to be over with. This is so like I'm watching
- 16:26Speaker 1: this segment with him rolling down the window as McAfee
- 16:29Speaker 1: is driving away out of the parking lot at the
- 16:31Speaker 1: end of all this, and he's talking about Marx and
- 16:34Speaker 1: he's talking about the IWC, and it's what I said
- 16:36Speaker 1: last week. This is WCW two thousand levels of fucking
- 16:40Speaker 1: russo bullshit, and that's not a good thing. It is.
- 16:47Speaker 1: It is cringey, awful, tryhard television where they are trying
- 16:51Speaker 1: to come off I guess as cool and inside, and
- 16:54Speaker 1: they just they're trying. They're taking an approach that is
- 16:57Speaker 1: just all wrong and was completely unnecessary and has made
- 17:00Speaker 1: this match something where I kind of look away and
- 17:02Speaker 1: I shudder. Now when I see him come out there
- 17:04Speaker 1: and he's doing his shtick and he's I don't even
- 17:06Speaker 1: know how he's cutting these promos, the way he enunciates
- 17:09Speaker 1: certain words what we're talking about, running the ort, running
- 17:13Speaker 1: in the art. Like I love those reports of Ari
- 17:15Speaker 1: Emmanuel apparently thinking that he could be the next Sylvester stilllone.
- 17:18Speaker 1: You've got a lot of work to do, buddy, on
- 17:20Speaker 1: that front. I've never seen Pat McAfee act in anything
- 17:23Speaker 1: in my life. But if these promos that he has
- 17:25Speaker 1: cut so far are any indication this brother has a
- 17:28Speaker 1: long way to go. It's gonna be a fucking struggle
- 17:31Speaker 1: for this guy if you think he's gonna be your
- 17:33Speaker 1: next big movie star. But we have to be subjected
- 17:36Speaker 1: to this now on television every week because we get
- 17:38Speaker 1: all these guys coming out here who are playing wrestler.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Now you know they're coming out here. It's fantasy camp
- 17:43Speaker 1: for them. WrestleMania main event this year is basically the
- 17:45Speaker 1: fantasy Camp main event. And it's sad. It's sad, it's pathetic,
- 17:49Speaker 1: and to see them basically groveling on television begging people
- 17:53Speaker 1: to buy tickets to their show without realizing the reasons
- 17:56Speaker 1: why people are not buying tickets to your show. People
- 17:59Speaker 1: aren't buying tickets to your show because a, Yes, prices
- 18:01Speaker 1: are elevated, and they're not willing to spend or they
- 18:04Speaker 1: can't spend that kind of money on tickets to a
- 18:06Speaker 1: show probably of any kind, let alone WrestleMania. But also,
- 18:10Speaker 1: your show sucks right now. Your show is fucking terrible,
- 18:16Speaker 1: and so who's going to spend four or five hundred
- 18:18Speaker 1: dollars on nose bleed seats to go to your fucking
- 18:21Speaker 1: terrible show? Like this is a terrible television program. They
- 18:26Speaker 1: did nothing tonight on this show. Throughout all of the
- 18:29Speaker 1: segments on this three hour program, even forgetting the Cody
- 18:31Speaker 1: and Randy stuff, they did nothing on this show tonight
- 18:35Speaker 1: that I can honestly think anybody who is not a
- 18:38Speaker 1: pod person from another planet or a bot to get
- 18:42Speaker 1: anybody legitimately excited any more so than they may have
- 18:46Speaker 1: already been for WrestleMania, which should be the objective of
- 18:49Speaker 1: these shows a week out from WrestleMania is to get
- 18:52Speaker 1: people really hyped up and amped up. Man, you know what,
- 18:55Speaker 1: I was kind of looking forward to WrestleMania, but now
- 18:57Speaker 1: I can't wait for WrestleMania. The best thing I could
- 18:59Speaker 1: say say about it, I can't wait for the train wreck.
- 19:04Speaker 1: That's your WrestleMania hype for this year. Our main event
- 19:06Speaker 1: tonight was Jade Cargill against Eo Sky. Eo Sky at
- 19:10Speaker 1: the moment, has no match at WrestleMania. Now, maybe that'll
- 19:14Speaker 1: change on Monday. There's a lot of balls that are
- 19:16Speaker 1: hanging in the air right now. We don't know where
- 19:18Speaker 1: they're gonna land. Maybe she'll end up with a match
- 19:21Speaker 1: of WrestleMania. We were saying that last week about Carmelo Hayes.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Maybe he'll end up with a match of WrestleMania. The
- 19:27Speaker 1: answer to that, no, he'll have to wait until next year,
- 19:32Speaker 1: so we know that already. Eo we don't know, but
- 19:35Speaker 1: she had this may have been her WrestleMania main event tonight.
- 19:38Speaker 1: She went one on one with Jade all in the
- 19:41Speaker 1: furtherance of the story between Jade and Rhea and EO
- 19:45Speaker 1: went in there and she lost. She lost clean to
- 19:47Speaker 1: the WWE Women's Champion, and then we had a standoff
- 19:53Speaker 1: between Rhea and Jade, and I looked at my clock
- 19:55Speaker 1: and I said, huh, it's eleven O three. It's kind
- 19:59Speaker 1: of out SmackDown getting an overrun. I don't want to
- 20:05Speaker 1: watch the actual three hours of this show now, they're
- 20:08Speaker 1: going into an overrun. No, we don't need more of this,
- 20:13Speaker 1: We need less of this. We don't need more SmackDown.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Don't ever do that again. If Raw goes over, fine,
- 20:21Speaker 1: but SmackDown absolutely not. We don't need to see that again.
- 20:26Speaker 1: No overrun is necessary. The best thing I could say
- 20:30Speaker 1: about this show tonight, if I try to be nice,
- 20:34Speaker 1: The best thing I could say about this show. We
- 20:36Speaker 1: finally got the debut, the television debut of Royce Keys.
- 20:41Speaker 1: I don't know why it took this long. We're a
- 20:43Speaker 1: week out from WrestleMania. Now we get his debut on TV.
- 20:46Speaker 1: But at least now he's on TV. And honestly, I
- 20:48Speaker 1: think the reason we got him on TV this week
- 20:50Speaker 1: is because he's winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle
- 20:53Speaker 1: Royal next week. Otherwise, I don't know why they didn't
- 20:55Speaker 1: just wait another two weeks. We're a week out from WrestleMania.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Why else would he debut tonight other than the fact, yes,
- 21:02Speaker 1: they were in San Jose, which is basically his backyard.
- 21:05Speaker 1: But I think he ought to be the winner in
- 21:07Speaker 1: the Andre Battle Royal next week. Not that doesn't not
- 21:09Speaker 1: that it means anything. Of course, it doesn't mean Jack's shit,
- 21:12Speaker 1: but it would be a nice little feather in his cap.
- 21:14Speaker 1: It would be something. It would be something. But yes,
- 21:20Speaker 1: carmel O Hayes was on the show tonight. He did
- 21:22Speaker 1: not wrestle He is not at WrestleMania. The Women's United
- 21:25Speaker 1: States Championship will not be defended at WrestleMania. I don't
- 21:28Speaker 1: know where Julia was. Tiffany Stratton, she went into WrestleMania
- 21:31Speaker 1: last year. I believe as the champion on SmackDown as
- 21:34Speaker 1: EO did on Raw right now, both women. They have
- 21:36Speaker 1: no match of WrestleMania and the tag team titles as
- 21:40Speaker 1: far as the men goes, you know Ron SmackDown. Don't
- 21:42Speaker 1: even get me started. We know the World Tag Team
- 21:44Speaker 1: Champions on Raw. They have a match at WrestleMania. The
- 21:46Speaker 1: titles are not on the line. Nobody gives a shit
- 21:48Speaker 1: because the tag team division is dead on SmackDown. Damian
- 21:51Speaker 1: Priest and Our Truth they are the tag team champions.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Our Truth was on the show tonight, as was Damian Priest.
- 21:56Speaker 1: They were in the back. Our Truth was the spokesperson
- 21:59Speaker 1: for ESPN and he was doing his cringey little plug
- 22:02Speaker 1: that they always have him do for all of the
- 22:05Speaker 1: brain damage people apparently out there who have no idea
- 22:07Speaker 1: how to use their phone and how to use the
- 22:09Speaker 1: ESPN app. Got our truth there to show you. But
- 22:12Speaker 1: of course, the WWE tag team titles, they are not
- 22:14Speaker 1: defended at WrestleMania this year either because the tag team
- 22:17Speaker 1: division is dead. Neither set. They have two sets of
- 22:21Speaker 1: men's tag team titles, Neither of them are being defended
- 22:23Speaker 1: at WrestleMania. Neither of them should be defended at WrestleMania.
- 22:28Speaker 1: I have no issue with that. The women's US title.
- 22:31Speaker 1: That's a shame because all of the other singles titles
- 22:34Speaker 1: are on the line except that one. Let's talk about
- 22:40Speaker 1: this show. This is your Friday Night SmackDown review. It
- 22:44Speaker 1: is Friday, April tenth, twenty twenty six. I am the
- 22:48Speaker 1: Solemn Monster. Do me a favor like and subscribe. That
- 22:53Speaker 1: would make me happy. Super chats are open as well.
- 22:55Speaker 1: We have a bonus goal going on in the chat.
- 22:58Speaker 1: As far as that goes, get them on in. You
- 23:00Speaker 1: will see them popping up on your screen. Let me uh, oh,
- 23:04Speaker 1: we're not going there yet. Let me bring up the wheel.
- 23:07Speaker 1: The Wheel oh fun. See how many likes we need
- 23:12Speaker 1: for it be the Booker tonight and then we're gonna
- 23:14Speaker 1: get into this. Oh boy, just what I needed. That's
- 23:20Speaker 1: what I needed. Thank you, Brandon. Three point fifty. We
- 23:28Speaker 1: need three hundred and fifty likes. I'm pretty sure that
- 23:31Speaker 1: we have already slammed past this. We were four forty one,
- 23:35Speaker 1: so we are guaranteed at least one round of be
- 23:40Speaker 1: the Booker tonight. I'm done with this show. I'm so
- 23:45Speaker 1: done with this show. This show is so fucking bad.
- 23:50Speaker 1: This show is so fucking bad. Like, I'm personally offended
- 23:55Speaker 1: by how awful this television show is. I really am, Like,
- 23:59Speaker 1: you have the talent that they have. I don't know
- 24:02Speaker 1: how it's possible to put together a television show every
- 24:06Speaker 1: single week that seems to get progressively worse like that
- 24:10Speaker 1: takes a special talent, and I'm not really sure why
- 24:14Speaker 1: that is the case. I'm not really sure why this
- 24:16Speaker 1: is happening. But this show is awful. I will fight
- 24:23Speaker 1: anybody who tries to defend this piece of shit show. Now,
- 24:32Speaker 1: after recapping last week's terrible angle, they cut to Cody Rhodes.
- 24:39Speaker 1: He is walking in through the parking lot and he
- 24:42Speaker 1: encounters Nick All. This Cody wants to know where Pat
- 24:46Speaker 1: McAfee is. I was hoping kidnapped him Bogata somewhere. But
- 24:52Speaker 1: all this said, the McAfee wasn't here yet. But he
- 24:55Speaker 1: warned Cody. He said, look, when he gets here, you're
- 24:58Speaker 1: not allowed to put your hands on it him, no
- 25:01Speaker 1: physical contact. He's under strict orders from above. This is
- 25:07Speaker 1: above his head. So then fucking jelly Roll shows up
- 25:15Speaker 1: out of nowhere. There he is, and he's all pissed
- 25:17Speaker 1: off after what happened to him a couple of weeks ago,
- 25:19Speaker 1: because the last time we saw him, he was dropped
- 25:21Speaker 1: with an RKO. And so jelly Roll was looking for
- 25:26Speaker 1: Randy Orton and Pat McAfee and he was told the
- 25:28Speaker 1: same thing, don't put your hands on them. Jelly Roll
- 25:32Speaker 1: is not even a fucking contracted talent. He just shows
- 25:35Speaker 1: up whenever he wants to. You have no control over him.
- 25:39Speaker 1: What are you gonna do you put your hands on
- 25:41Speaker 1: Randy Orton or Pat McAfee. What could they possibly do
- 25:43Speaker 1: to him? Suspend him? He's not under contract. Jelly Roll
- 25:48Speaker 1: could do whatever. Jelly Roll could show up with a
- 25:49Speaker 1: fucking barbed wire baseball bat. He could have beaten Pat
- 25:53Speaker 1: McAfee's brains in tonight. There isn't a damn thing that
- 25:56Speaker 1: Pat mac or nick All does ort Pat McAfee could
- 25:59Speaker 1: do to jelly Roll over it. But apparently he's bound
- 26:02Speaker 1: by the same rules. He's a guest in their house,
- 26:05Speaker 1: so he has to abide by the same rules. Right,
- 26:07Speaker 1: you want to come into the house, you got to
- 26:08Speaker 1: take your shoes off like everybody else. So off goes
- 26:13Speaker 1: all this, and then Jelly Roll turns to Cody Rhodes
- 26:16Speaker 1: and it's time for him to cut one of his
- 26:18Speaker 1: inspirational He's going to cut one of his inspirational promos,
- 26:22Speaker 1: which he's very good at. We've seen him do this
- 26:25Speaker 1: a few times over the last several weeks. And he
- 26:27Speaker 1: tells Cody, this isn't about Pat McAfee. This is about
- 26:30Speaker 1: twenty years of friendship between Cody and Randy being flushed
- 26:34Speaker 1: down to toilet, and he told Cody not to get
- 26:36Speaker 1: distracted because this isn't about Cody's story anymore. Oh, it's
- 26:40Speaker 1: not Cody's story anymore. All right, I don't know whose
- 26:42Speaker 1: story it is. It's definitely not Cody's story, that is true.
- 26:50Speaker 1: So the show opened proper with rheo Ripley coming down
- 26:53Speaker 1: to the ring, and she was pissed off. Yeah, she's
- 26:55Speaker 1: not the only one. She said, this isn't about physiques,
- 26:59Speaker 1: this isn't about any of that said, not anymore, not
- 27:04Speaker 1: after Jade attacked her EO, so she said, get your
- 27:08Speaker 1: ass out here. Instead, EO came out. She was holding
- 27:11Speaker 1: her ribs, which were injured on Monday night. She was
- 27:14Speaker 1: beaten about with a Kendo stick by Jade Cargill, so
- 27:19Speaker 1: she did get EO chance. People still like Eosky and
- 27:23Speaker 1: Rio wanted to know, you know, why are you out here?
- 27:25Speaker 1: You're still hurting everything? And EO said that she knows
- 27:27Speaker 1: Ria is angry, and so is she. A lot of
- 27:30Speaker 1: angry people coming out of SmackDown tonight. I guess angry
- 27:35Speaker 1: is better than depressed, which is how it usually is
- 27:37Speaker 1: with these people on Smack. Then everybody always seems so depressed.
- 27:40Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not really a surprise why tonight everybody
- 27:44Speaker 1: was angry. She knows Rio will beat Jade at WrestleMania,
- 27:48Speaker 1: but she wants to face Jade tonight. And Rhea said
- 27:51Speaker 1: that EO's not one hundred percent after Monday, you sure, like,
- 27:54Speaker 1: are you sure this is what you want, and so
- 27:57Speaker 1: there were more EO chants and EO said yes, I'm sure.
- 28:00Speaker 1: So she's gonna go talk to Nick all this if
- 28:03Speaker 1: she has to, but she wants Jade tonight, and that
- 28:07Speaker 1: brought out Nick all This, who confirmed it tonight in
- 28:09Speaker 1: San Jose in the main event, it will be Jade
- 28:13Speaker 1: Cargill one on one with Eosky. So the good news
- 28:17Speaker 1: is that we got Eosky in the main event. The
- 28:20Speaker 1: bad news is we had Jade Cargill and just a
- 28:23Speaker 1: non title main event here on SmackDown that I don't like.
- 28:29Speaker 1: During the commercial break, I will point out they accidentally
- 28:33Speaker 1: played the NXT will be right backscreen. I was a
- 28:36Speaker 1: little confused, you know, they were showing images of Ethan
- 28:39Speaker 1: Page and Lolavice Zaria, Like, am I watching the right
- 28:45Speaker 1: show here? I wish I was watching NXT tonight, and
- 28:50Speaker 1: then midway through they switched it to the correct screen.
- 28:54Speaker 1: I was watching on an Italian server, by the way,
- 28:58Speaker 1: because my usual Netherlands server or I was not able
- 29:00Speaker 1: to get smacked Down tonight. I think it's funny. I
- 29:02Speaker 1: think they're playing a whack a mole and they're trying
- 29:05Speaker 1: to kind of crack down on things with certain servers
- 29:09Speaker 1: or countries or whatever. So I took a trip to
- 29:13Speaker 1: Italy and I was able to watch SmackDown that way.
- 29:17Speaker 1: So then we had San Jose's own Bailey, who got
- 29:22Speaker 1: a nice reaction coming out along with her partner Lyra Valkyria.
- 29:26Speaker 1: We had Bailey against Alexa Bliss, who had Charlotte Flair
- 29:30Speaker 1: in her corner. Two of the four teams that are
- 29:32Speaker 1: scheduled to battle for the women's tag team titles at WrestleMania,
- 29:38Speaker 1: and it sounds like if Nicky Bella is not cleared,
- 29:41Speaker 1: it's still very unclear she'll be able to wrestle next week.
- 29:45Speaker 1: It sounds like if Nicki Bella is not cleared, what
- 29:48Speaker 1: they may do is they may swap Osca and Kyrie
- 29:50Speaker 1: Sane into the match, which I don't understand at all.
- 29:54Speaker 1: I really don't either Nicki Bella can go or she can't.
- 29:57Speaker 1: If the Bella Twins aren't able to wrestle, then take
- 29:59Speaker 1: them out the match and make it a triple threat.
- 30:01Speaker 1: What is this obsession that it has to be a
- 30:03Speaker 1: four way? Look, if these reports are to be believed,
- 30:06Speaker 1: I don't understand that you have a match between Eosky
- 30:10Speaker 1: and Oscar, which now it sounds like they may hold
- 30:12Speaker 1: off until Backlash to do it again. It's up in
- 30:16Speaker 1: the air right now as far as WrestleMania. But you
- 30:18Speaker 1: have a match that you've been building to. Osca cut
- 30:21Speaker 1: a video promo on her. On Monday, EO one on
- 30:24Speaker 1: social media and said see you in Vegas and cut
- 30:27Speaker 1: her own promo on Oscar like you've you've been building
- 30:29Speaker 1: to an actual match between the two of them. Whether
- 30:34Speaker 1: or not Nikki Bella can go next weekend should have
- 30:37Speaker 1: no bearing on whether EO and Oscar have a match.
- 30:40Speaker 1: I mean to me, that's just stupid. We have Bailey
- 30:45Speaker 1: and we had Alexa. I was having flashbacks here too.
- 30:50Speaker 1: This is your life from twenty seventeen. You talk about
- 30:53Speaker 1: bad television. I'll watch that segment from twenty seventeen. Okay,
- 30:59Speaker 1: the bay this is your lie. I'll watch that five
- 31:02Speaker 1: times straight. Yeah, that's right, you tell them, I'll watch
- 31:07Speaker 1: that five times straight. Before I watched that McAfee segment
- 31:10Speaker 1: ever again, Bailey counted a sister Abigail ddt attempt from
- 31:16Speaker 1: Bliss with a Bailey to belly. Bliss tried to get
- 31:19Speaker 1: a pin using the ropes. Referee caught it, though Bailey
- 31:22Speaker 1: headed up top. She connected with her diving elbow for
- 31:26Speaker 1: a very close near fall. I mean, Alexa she waited
- 31:30Speaker 1: until the last possible second to get her shoulder up
- 31:33Speaker 1: on that. Bliss rolled out of the ring. Charlotte was there.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Bailey went out after Alexa Lyra Valcarria. She got up
- 31:40Speaker 1: in Charlotte's face and they were arguing, and this distraction
- 31:44Speaker 1: allowed Alexa to sneak up behind Bailey and roll her
- 31:48Speaker 1: up for the flash pin, and Alexa Bliss picks up
- 31:52Speaker 1: the wind. Of course, they had to beat Bailey in
- 31:56Speaker 1: her hometown, because of course they did. Now she was
- 32:00Speaker 1: wrestling a heel, you'd be like, okay, well put more
- 32:03Speaker 1: heat on whoever the person was that beat her. Fine,
- 32:06Speaker 1: but it's two babyfaces. Did you really have to beat
- 32:10Speaker 1: Bailey in San Jose? The answer is no. I'm really
- 32:14Speaker 1: genuinely starting to wonder if Vince is back. I mean,
- 32:17Speaker 1: some of these decisions are just mind boggling to me.
- 32:19Speaker 1: This was a classic vincesm here you got to beat
- 32:22Speaker 1: him in their hometown, pal. So yeah, tough tough night
- 32:25Speaker 1: there for Bailey. Otherwise, I thought the match itself, I
- 32:29Speaker 1: thought it was solid nothing too memorable, but it was
- 32:33Speaker 1: nice to not have Nya Jackson Lash Legend run out
- 32:36Speaker 1: to ruin the match, so at least we didn't get
- 32:39Speaker 1: a fuck Actually we did get a fuck finish. Instead
- 32:42Speaker 1: of getting a fuck finish with Naya and Lash, we
- 32:45Speaker 1: got a fuck finish off the old distraction roll up.
- 32:49Speaker 1: I'd call that a fuck finish. So they replayed what
- 32:53Speaker 1: happened last week when samy' zane beat Carmelo Hayes in
- 32:57Speaker 1: their United States Championship match, and then it was to
- 33:00Speaker 1: the back, and I was hopeful at this point, Okay,
- 33:03Speaker 1: they're replaying it. We're about to get mellow. Maybe they're
- 33:07Speaker 1: going to find a way, even though it doesn't make
- 33:09Speaker 1: any sense at this point because he lost clean last week.
- 33:12Speaker 1: I had people who were trying to explain to me, Okay,
- 33:15Speaker 1: like I don't know, like like I watched wrestling twice
- 33:18Speaker 1: in my life. Well, last week wasn't clean. That wasn't
- 33:23Speaker 1: a clean win for Sammy's A. Evidently because Carmelo Hayes,
- 33:28Speaker 1: who had injured his leg in the course of the match,
- 33:31Speaker 1: was in the corner and the referee was in the
- 33:33Speaker 1: corner asking him if he was okay, and Sammy came
- 33:36Speaker 1: flying in with the Halluva kick, and I guess he
- 33:40Speaker 1: wasn't ready, So therefore it was unclean what people were
- 33:47Speaker 1: trying to tell The only thing unclean is your ass. Okay,
- 33:50Speaker 1: he beat him clean last week. So as much as
- 33:54Speaker 1: I would have loved to have seen Carmelo Hayes somehow
- 33:57Speaker 1: added into this match of WrestleMania, at this point would
- 34:00Speaker 1: not have even made any sense. He would have been
- 34:02Speaker 1: a charity case, like, all right, we'll throw you a
- 34:04Speaker 1: bone here, We'll give you a WrestleMania spot, like, you
- 34:08Speaker 1: know what, it's probably better off at this point, it
- 34:12Speaker 1: doesn't even make any sense. But they cut to the
- 34:14Speaker 1: back and he's in the trainer's room. He's rehabbing his
- 34:17Speaker 1: knee and Matt Cardona is there with him, and Cardona
- 34:21Speaker 1: is telling him, you know, you'll you'll have to wait patiently.
- 34:24Speaker 1: I've been there before. You'll get your WrestleMania moment one day, right,
- 34:29Speaker 1: that day will not be today, but you will get
- 34:32Speaker 1: your WrestleMania moment. You just have to be patient. It's
- 34:35Speaker 1: totally worth it. It's worth the wait. So Trick Williams
- 34:39Speaker 1: walks in with Lil YACHTI he was back too, So
- 34:43Speaker 1: we had Pat McAfee and we had Jelly Roll and
- 34:46Speaker 1: we had Lil YACHTI we have anybody else tonight, just
- 34:50Speaker 1: those three. I think it was just those we had.
- 34:52Speaker 1: I show speed on Monday. Lil YACHTI was wearing a
- 34:56Speaker 1: white T shirt with a gingerbread man on it because
- 35:02Speaker 1: last week they were calling Sammy's ain, you know, a
- 35:05Speaker 1: gingerbread man because he's a ginger. So Hayes told him
- 35:09Speaker 1: to get out of his face. I got to rehab
- 35:11Speaker 1: my knee, and YACHTI told Melo, you can watch WrestleMania
- 35:15Speaker 1: from your couch. Melo told Trick, you know what, I
- 35:18Speaker 1: hope you do win a wrestle Media because on the
- 35:21Speaker 1: other side, I look forward to beating you and taking
- 35:24Speaker 1: my title back. And then he left. And so at
- 35:28Speaker 1: that point I knew this guy ain't going to wrestle
- 35:31Speaker 1: Mania because the way this segment was scripted, he's already resigned.
- 35:35Speaker 1: He's already resigned to the fact that he's not getting
- 35:37Speaker 1: a WrestleMania match. So it was very clear from this like, Okay,
- 35:40Speaker 1: he's out of the picture. He's not going to wrestle Mania.
- 35:44Speaker 1: He could always win the Andre Battle royal. I guess
- 35:46Speaker 1: for a second year in a row, right, he could win, Dre.
- 35:49Speaker 1: What happened to the necklace that he was wearing, right, Dre, Yeah,
- 35:55Speaker 1: maybe he can do that. So Melo leaves and Trick
- 36:00Speaker 1: at Cardona and he goes, what the hell are you
- 36:01Speaker 1: looking at? And Cardona said that he was tired of
- 36:04Speaker 1: all these guests running their mouths like they owned the place.
- 36:09Speaker 1: And Trick said, usually he doesn't have the time for this,
- 36:11Speaker 1: but I'm going to wrestle mania. So then Yati speaks
- 36:15Speaker 1: up and Yachty said that no, you know what, you
- 36:17Speaker 1: can whoop on this guy tonight. And Trick was caught
- 36:22Speaker 1: off guard by this this guy speaking for him, and
- 36:25Speaker 1: Cardona liked the idea, and he said, you know what,
- 36:27Speaker 1: I'm going to go find Nick all this and I'm
- 36:29Speaker 1: going to go make it official. And Trick looked annoyed
- 36:32Speaker 1: and Yachty, you know, they went back and forth. I
- 36:35Speaker 1: will say this, as much as the celebrity mania, I
- 36:39Speaker 1: have total just celebrity fatigue at this point. Lil YACHTI
- 36:45Speaker 1: and he like he and Trick. They play well off
- 36:47Speaker 1: of each other. He doesn't need Trick doesn't need him though,
- 36:51Speaker 1: like if this was going to be a long term thing.
- 36:54Speaker 1: He doesn't need him because Trick is a great talker
- 36:57Speaker 1: on his own. So that's the thing about it, Like
- 37:00Speaker 1: they don't need to really be a pairing, but they
- 37:02Speaker 1: do play well off of each other. I'll say that. Look,
- 37:05Speaker 1: I had praise for I Show Speed. I think what
- 37:07Speaker 1: Speed's done so far is great too. I just I
- 37:09Speaker 1: don't need to be seeing Liul Yati and I Show
- 37:11Speaker 1: Speed and Jelly Roll and Path McAfee and they're trying
- 37:14Speaker 1: to get Tom Brad like I don't need this, Like
- 37:16Speaker 1: we don't need this, We don't need all of this
- 37:19Speaker 1: at once, overwhelming the show going into WrestleMania. After the break,
- 37:27Speaker 1: we got a Drew mac entire video and he was
- 37:30Speaker 1: talking from behind bars, which is where every single person
- 37:33Speaker 1: responsible for this television show belongs. So he's cutting his
- 37:36Speaker 1: promo in a jail cell. Said tonight, we're close to
- 37:40Speaker 1: Fat Two's hometown. And he revealed that at this point
- 37:43Speaker 1: that he was speaking from a jail cell. We didn't
- 37:45Speaker 1: see that at first. He knows Fat two spent a
- 37:48Speaker 1: lot of time here. This cell is who fought two
- 37:51Speaker 1: is and will always be. He's a convict his family
- 37:56Speaker 1: needed a father and a provider, while all Fought two
- 37:59Speaker 1: gave them was a war. Talking Mugshot said, unsanctioned to
- 38:02Speaker 1: WrestleMania means he'll beat FOT two within an inch of
- 38:05Speaker 1: his life. Just so Far Too can screw up again
- 38:08Speaker 1: and wind up right back here. He said. The system
- 38:11Speaker 1: failed Drew, and Fat Too has been stealing from him
- 38:15Speaker 1: ever since. At WrestleMania he's fought Two's judge, jury an executioner.
- 38:23Speaker 1: So then we cut to the back and we saw
- 38:25Speaker 1: Jacob was watching this on a flat screen. Kathy Kelly
- 38:29Speaker 1: was right there to ask for his immediate opinion on
- 38:32Speaker 1: what he just saw, and before Fat two could really
- 38:35Speaker 1: say much, Solo Sokoa and the MFTs approach Jacob Fatu. Yes,
- 38:47Speaker 1: the last people I was looking for at this point
- 38:50Speaker 1: in the show, as I was preparing myself for what
- 38:53Speaker 1: we were about to get with Pat McAfee and I
- 38:55Speaker 1: get the MFTs. So they exchanged words and Fat two says, hey,
- 38:59Speaker 1: we could on this back again later, if you know,
- 39:02Speaker 1: if you want to, and I'm like, no, I don't
- 39:03Speaker 1: think we need that, please No. So Solo brings up
- 39:08Speaker 1: this being the same place here in San Jose all
- 39:11Speaker 1: those months ago when Jacob had all eleven teeth kicked
- 39:14Speaker 1: out of his mouth. Yeah, he's sticking his tither's ah, like,
- 39:18Speaker 1: what the fuck? Yeah, he's sticking his toil Who's ah,
- 39:22Speaker 1: like what the fuck? And Solo accurately pointed out, we
- 39:25Speaker 1: still don't know what happened, which is kind of crazy
- 39:27Speaker 1: because I had people, you know, telling me, well, you know, Solo, monster,
- 39:31Speaker 1: they already established that it was Drew MacIntyre and I
- 39:35Speaker 1: keep telling you people, no, it wasn't, it was Randy Orton.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Just give it time. We'll find out. But Solo's like, yeah,
- 39:43Speaker 1: we never did find out exactly who was responsible for
- 39:46Speaker 1: that or you know what happened there. So he said
- 39:50Speaker 1: that Tomatonga might do something about it, and Toma got
- 39:54Speaker 1: caught off guard by this, but he steps up to
- 39:56Speaker 1: Fatu and we find out that the two of them
- 39:59Speaker 1: were going to have a wrestling match later on in
- 40:01Speaker 1: the show. So we are back to Fatu and the MFTs,
- 40:05Speaker 1: at least for one night only. We're back to this again,
- 40:11Speaker 1: and we just achieved the bonus goal. So that's very good.
- 40:15Speaker 1: See we are very active tonight. I can tell. That's good.
- 40:23Speaker 1: That's good. It'll keep the blood pumping as we go along.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Here we got a video package introducing us to Royce
- 40:31Speaker 1: Keys as he talked about his own past and you know,
- 40:37Speaker 1: all the drug issues and growing up you know, in
- 40:39Speaker 1: the mean streets of Palo Alto, in a very dangerous
- 40:42Speaker 1: area out there in California, and he visited his childhood home.
- 40:48Speaker 1: So this was just a quick segment to get us
- 40:50Speaker 1: prepared for the in ring SmackDown debut of Powerhouse Hobbs.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Here on this show, it was time for Royce Keys
- 40:59Speaker 1: and he was going to be takinging on one half
- 41:01Speaker 1: of Los Garza. It was Berto Tough Challenge tonight for
- 41:08Speaker 1: Royce Keys. Angel was out there with him, but it
- 41:13Speaker 1: was burto Burdo got to play victim tonight next week.
- 41:16Speaker 1: Oh maybe not next week, but maybe the week after that.
- 41:19Speaker 1: It'll be Angel tonight. Though it was Berto's turn, this
- 41:23Speaker 1: was almost all Royce Keys, as it should be. There
- 41:27Speaker 1: was one moment in the match they were outside and
- 41:30Speaker 1: Keys got distracted by Angel and he got shoved into
- 41:34Speaker 1: the ring post by Burdo, and that was about the
- 41:37Speaker 1: only real bit of offense that Berto had here in
- 41:39Speaker 1: this match. This was a situation where Burdo got to
- 41:45Speaker 1: show off some flashy offense for you know, maybe ninety
- 41:49Speaker 1: seconds or so, and then he got caught off of
- 41:52Speaker 1: a diving crossbody and then he got dumped with a
- 41:55Speaker 1: fallaway slam. Keys hoisted him up onto his shoulders for
- 41:58Speaker 1: the running power slam Angel tried to interfere, he got
- 42:02Speaker 1: dropped on the apron with a clothesline. Down came the straps,
- 42:06Speaker 1: and Keys finished him off with an arn Anderson esque spinebuster,
- 42:11Speaker 1: and he picked up the win in his debut. And
- 42:14Speaker 1: as I said at the beginning of the review that right,
- 42:16Speaker 1: there should be your Winter next week and de Andre
- 42:18Speaker 1: the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, because if not, I don't
- 42:21Speaker 1: really understand what the purpose was in debuting him now.
- 42:24Speaker 1: You could have debuted him a month ago, because remember
- 42:28Speaker 1: he was in the Rumble. He technically debuted in the
- 42:30Speaker 1: Royal Rumble. That was the what was that February first
- 42:33Speaker 1: or January thirty first, and then we haven't seen the
- 42:37Speaker 1: work in dark matches ever since against Berdo and fucking
- 42:40Speaker 1: Nathan Fraser, and this is all he's been doing now
- 42:42Speaker 1: for like six weeks. They had six weeks to debut
- 42:45Speaker 1: him on TV before tonight, and now we're so close
- 42:48Speaker 1: to WrestleMania, it's like, all right, he's not on the
- 42:50Speaker 1: wrestle Media card. You can debut him maybe on the
- 42:54Speaker 1: first SmackDown coming out of WrestleMania. I think they chose
- 42:57Speaker 1: to do it tonight in part because of where they were,
- 43:00Speaker 1: But I also think that by debuting him tonight, you've
- 43:03Speaker 1: now set him up to be the obvious Winter next week,
- 43:06Speaker 1: because why not, like you would expect him to be
- 43:10Speaker 1: in the match. Why would he be in the match?
- 43:12Speaker 1: He already was in the rumble and lost, Like, at
- 43:14Speaker 1: least let him win the Battle Royal. You're trying to
- 43:16Speaker 1: establish this guy on the on the roster as a monster.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Let him go in there and win. That's what I
- 43:21Speaker 1: would do. I'm picking him to win. Outside the arena,
- 43:29Speaker 1: Pat McAfee arrives. Oh joy, here he is. Pat McAfee
- 43:33Speaker 1: is here. He's in his pickup truck all by himself,
- 43:37Speaker 1: and he runs into Nick all this on his way
- 43:39Speaker 1: into the building, and he verified with all this. He goes,
- 43:43Speaker 1: you did tell them, right, You told them that no
- 43:47Speaker 1: one is allowed to put their hands on him tonight,
- 43:49Speaker 1: and all this said, yes, I told them so. Then
- 43:52Speaker 1: he tossed his keys to him like he's a valet.
- 43:55Speaker 1: He dropped him on the floor, so he had to
- 43:57Speaker 1: pick him up, and he gave his keys to all this,
- 44:01Speaker 1: and he starts walking into the building and he gets
- 44:03Speaker 1: approached by Jelly Roll. Jelly Roll's been waiting all night
- 44:07Speaker 1: for this moment. Jelly Roll wanted to know, were you
- 44:11Speaker 1: the one who's told Randy Orton to drop him two
- 44:14Speaker 1: weeks ago? With that? RKO pat denied it, but he
- 44:17Speaker 1: told him, you know, you shouldn't have been there anyway, dude,
- 44:20Speaker 1: like you shouldn't have been in there in between Randy
- 44:22Speaker 1: and Cody to begin with. And Jelly said, well, you're right,
- 44:28Speaker 1: I shouldn't have been there, but you had no business
- 44:30Speaker 1: being there either. He goes, why are you here? Yeah,
- 44:32Speaker 1: it's a really good question. Why are you here? So
- 44:38Speaker 1: he tells Jelly Role, Look, it's a lot bigger than
- 44:41Speaker 1: you could ever imagine. He called Jelly an outsider who's
- 44:45Speaker 1: not supposed to be a part of their business. So
- 44:49Speaker 1: Jelly Roll threatened to check him right now since he
- 44:52Speaker 1: didn't see Randy Orton around anywhere, and then he grabbed
- 44:56Speaker 1: him by the shirt and he backed McAfee up against
- 44:59Speaker 1: the wall. Nick Alldos was over quickly to stop him,
- 45:02Speaker 1: so Jelly shoved Nick Alders too. May as well again
- 45:06Speaker 1: he doesn't work there. And then McAfee told foreign Adam
- 45:11Speaker 1: Pierce to get that ex con out of the building,
- 45:13Speaker 1: and then he proceeded to make his way towards the
- 45:15Speaker 1: ring because he and Randy Jordan we have to save
- 45:18Speaker 1: the business. We have to save the business. After the break,
- 45:27Speaker 1: Kathy Kelly was in the back to talk to Royce Keys,
- 45:31Speaker 1: and Keys talked about making his SmackDown debut here in
- 45:34Speaker 1: the Bay Area. He was all pumped up until Solo
- 45:37Speaker 1: Sakawa showed out. Boy, he's just interrupting segments left and
- 45:40Speaker 1: right tonight, isn't he. He just goes around backstage waiting
- 45:44Speaker 1: to see it. Who's being interviewed? Which interview can I crash?
- 45:47Speaker 1: First it was Jacob Fatu, Now it's Royce Keys. So
- 45:51Speaker 1: he walks up to Royce and he says he runs
- 45:55Speaker 1: things around here, so if Keys ever needs anything, his
- 45:58Speaker 1: door is always open. So they already have Keys now
- 46:03Speaker 1: working with the MFTs. I mean, God, give me strength,
- 46:08Speaker 1: give me strength with this fucking show. But it gets
- 46:15Speaker 1: worse much much worse because after that it was time
- 46:20Speaker 1: for Legitimately, I'm not being hyperbolic here. I've seen a
- 46:26Speaker 1: lot of bad television on SmackDown over the years, but
- 46:28Speaker 1: when you take everything into account, this was legitimately one
- 46:32Speaker 1: of the worst segments in SmackDown history. And it's Pat
- 46:36Speaker 1: McAfee on his way to the ring by himself to
- 46:41Speaker 1: play pretend heel, which is what this entire thing feels like.
- 46:44Speaker 1: By the way, it is so forced, It is so
- 46:47Speaker 1: forced and so out of left field, like some people
- 46:49Speaker 1: can pull it off. And again I'm not saying Pat
- 46:52Speaker 1: can't be a good heel, but this seems so forced.
- 46:55Speaker 1: It feels like he's out there putting on a performance
- 46:57Speaker 1: and he's trying so hard. He's trying too hard to
- 47:01Speaker 1: be just the big shthead heel. And I think people
- 47:05Speaker 1: are still looking at this and still wondering to themselves
- 47:07Speaker 1: they don't really even get why this is happening. It
- 47:09Speaker 1: still really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But
- 47:13Speaker 1: McAfee comes out to the r As soon as he
- 47:15Speaker 1: comes out, immediately he is flipping off the crowd. So
- 47:19Speaker 1: on Netflix, I was watching a Netflix feed, I'm sure
- 47:22Speaker 1: it was like this on USA as well. They blacked
- 47:26Speaker 1: out the screen, can't see the double bird. So McAfee
- 47:31Speaker 1: gets into the ring and immediately he says, San Jose,
- 47:35Speaker 1: what a shithole. So they booed him. They booed him.
- 47:46Speaker 1: Lost my connection there for a second. Even my connection
- 47:49Speaker 1: is pissed off at this show. I think my obs
- 47:52Speaker 1: is trying to tell me, dude, don't even talk about
- 47:54Speaker 1: this show. Let's just end it right here. I think
- 47:58Speaker 1: it's trying. I think my soft where is trying to
- 48:00Speaker 1: send me a message. There's a reason why it buffered
- 48:07Speaker 1: right when I'm about to start talking about the McAfee segment.
- 48:09Speaker 1: But I must this is my job, it's my obligation.
- 48:12Speaker 1: I must go on. I didn't sit through three hours
- 48:14Speaker 1: of this horseshit tonight to keep it all to myself.
- 48:16Speaker 1: I'm not going to keep it all bottled up. We're
- 48:18Speaker 1: all gonna talk about it here now. So anyway, McAfee
- 48:22Speaker 1: is in the ring and they're booing him, and so
- 48:25Speaker 1: he climbs the ropes and again he flips off the
- 48:28Speaker 1: crowd with the double bird. Hey, at least they got
- 48:31Speaker 1: somebody some heat. It wasn't Randy Orton getting the heat.
- 48:34Speaker 1: But at least someone's getting heat, someone other than Cody.
- 48:39Speaker 1: He said, It's crazy that they boo him. He's the
- 48:41Speaker 1: hero in this entire thing, he said. The fans cheer
- 48:47Speaker 1: for these spineless bums like cmpunk. Did you like what
- 48:51Speaker 1: he had to say on Monday? When Punk called him
- 48:53Speaker 1: Pat McAfee for him, it's hard to take serious because,
- 48:57Speaker 1: as Punk was talking the other night about a lot
- 48:59Speaker 1: of people more important and in better shape than he is,
- 49:03Speaker 1: it was hard to get past the fact that he
- 49:04Speaker 1: was wearing a WWE officially licensed cmpunk jacket with an
- 49:10Speaker 1: officially licensed WWE T shirt on underneath the jacket. He's
- 49:15Speaker 1: got two hundred and eighty three things for sale to
- 49:18Speaker 1: all of you on WWE shop dot com. And he
- 49:22Speaker 1: wonders when that TKO merch check comes through, who does
- 49:26Speaker 1: it go to? Does it go to the needy families
- 49:29Speaker 1: who can't afford WrestleMania tickets? Or does it go right
- 49:32Speaker 1: into the bank, into the bank account called I'm sorry
- 49:36Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. So I want you to I want I
- 49:40Speaker 1: want to stop right here for a moment. So several
- 49:45Speaker 1: minutes of this segment were dedicated to Pat McAfee responding
- 49:51Speaker 1: to the guy who was in the other WrestleMania main event.
- 49:55Speaker 1: This for a little bit here morphed into Pat McAfee
- 49:58Speaker 1: versus Cmpunk. Even we're supposed to be promoting Cody Roads
- 50:01Speaker 1: against Randy Yorton. So he called Punk a fraud. He
- 50:07Speaker 1: continued to cut a promo on cm Punk, who was
- 50:10Speaker 1: not a part of this match, by the way, he
- 50:12Speaker 1: called him a fraud. Goes like a politician, says all talk,
- 50:18Speaker 1: no action, said a man who has the chance to
- 50:21Speaker 1: change things. But he gets into the ring, he sits down,
- 50:25Speaker 1: he rolls over like the little bitch that he is.
- 50:29Speaker 1: Him Pat McAfee. He says, I'm an agent of change.
- 50:35Speaker 1: And when Punk mentioned that the ticket prices are too high,
- 50:37Speaker 1: he couldn't help but agree with him. If it wasn't
- 50:40Speaker 1: for Randy Orton, why would anyone want to spend their
- 50:42Speaker 1: money to watch WrestleMania. So he decided to be our hero.
- 50:47Speaker 1: He called a fan in the crowd Fatso at this point,
- 50:49Speaker 1: now he's channeling his inner nineteen eighty seven Rick Flair.
- 50:54Speaker 1: He's looking over in the crowd, Hey, fat boy, goes,
- 50:59Speaker 1: even though none of you disgusting bums deserve it. He
- 51:02Speaker 1: decided to help them out. He called Ram Trucks. Now,
- 51:05Speaker 1: Ram Trucks is the official sponsor, he says, of WrestleMania
- 51:09Speaker 1: this year. See he called Ram Trucks and asked them
- 51:13Speaker 1: if they want to help wrestling fans get to WrestleMania,
- 51:16Speaker 1: and they said absolutely, so he asked them, why don't
- 51:22Speaker 1: you pick up twenty five percent of the bill. This
- 51:26Speaker 1: is how bad things have gotten in terms of their greed, okay,
- 51:30Speaker 1: and the prices of these tickets. It's one thing to
- 51:34Speaker 1: just lower the ticket prices. What they have done here,
- 51:38Speaker 1: if you really stop and think about it, is they
- 51:40Speaker 1: are having one of Now this is I don't know
- 51:42Speaker 1: if they're actually doing this or not, but like in storyline,
- 51:45Speaker 1: at least they're having one of their sponsors pick up
- 51:49Speaker 1: the tab and shave twenty five percent off tickets that
- 51:53Speaker 1: are sold for WrestleMania Night one between now and Monday night.
- 51:57Speaker 1: We'll have Ram Trucks cover the cost of twenty percent
- 52:00Speaker 1: of everyone's tickets because the prices are so fucking high.
- 52:04Speaker 1: Instead of just lowering them, Ram Trucks has agreed to
- 52:08Speaker 1: pay a portion of everyone's ticket for WrestleMania Night one.
- 52:12Speaker 1: That's how bad things have gotten. This is now part
- 52:14Speaker 1: of the storyline. This is part of the story now
- 52:18Speaker 1: of this match. That's pathetic. And Pat McAfee is coming
- 52:25Speaker 1: out and he's flipping everybody off, and he's calling them marks,
- 52:28Speaker 1: and he's calling them fat soos, and he's calling them scum,
- 52:31Speaker 1: and he's calling them all all sorts of horrible things. Right,
- 52:37Speaker 1: and yet he's babyfacing everybody by saying, guess what, I
- 52:41Speaker 1: made one phone call and so all of you now
- 52:43Speaker 1: can get a twenty five percent discount on your WrestleMania tickets.
- 52:47Speaker 1: You're welcome. So I don't know, I mean, he's supposed
- 52:51Speaker 1: to be a healer, who's supposed to be a babyface.
- 52:53Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure what's going on here.
- 52:56Speaker 1: This entire situation is very weird. He's gone babyface here
- 53:01Speaker 1: in this moment. So immediately as soon as you mentioned this,
- 53:09Speaker 1: a graphic shows up in the corner of the screen.
- 53:13Speaker 1: Twenty five percent off all WrestleMania Saturday tickets now through Monday,
- 53:17Speaker 1: go to ticketmaster dot com. Like they couldn't get that,
- 53:21Speaker 1: you know how, Like when you're watching Dynamite and there
- 53:23Speaker 1: are two guys and they're like, hey, you know we're
- 53:25Speaker 1: gonna have a match tonight. And then five seconds later, oh,
- 53:29Speaker 1: Tony Kahan has made it official and they have the
- 53:31Speaker 1: graphic already and then it's like boom right there at
- 53:33Speaker 1: the corner, and I'm like, really that quickly? Huh? Oh?
- 53:36Speaker 1: They could wait to get that graphic up on the screen.
- 53:39Speaker 1: This basically just turned into a commercial to try to
- 53:42Speaker 1: sell more tickets for WrestleMania, because they are desperately, desperately
- 53:47Speaker 1: trying to move tickets. But you would think they had
- 53:49Speaker 1: ten thousand tickets sold for WrestleMania this year. Like the
- 53:54Speaker 1: desperation could not be more obvious. And apparently with all
- 53:59Speaker 1: the things that they've done over the last couple of weeks.
- 54:01Speaker 1: They announced John Cena as the host of WrestleMania, they
- 54:05Speaker 1: had this angle with Pat McAfee last week, the number
- 54:08Speaker 1: of tickets that they have moved since these announcements have
- 54:11Speaker 1: been minuscule. Like I look at the current numbers for
- 54:15Speaker 1: where they are, they really haven't moved. It's not like, well,
- 54:18Speaker 1: they were at thirty nine thousand, now they're up to
- 54:20Speaker 1: forty five forty seven. No, they barely dude, It's like
- 54:23Speaker 1: thirty nine forty forty one. They've barely even made a dent.
- 54:28Speaker 1: It has made no difference whatsoever. Now maybe this twenty
- 54:31Speaker 1: five percent off discount will make a difference. And then
- 54:35Speaker 1: you'll have the idiots who will justify this entire stupid
- 54:37Speaker 1: angle by saying, oh, look, see their ticket discount worked,
- 54:41Speaker 1: because they'll find any way they can to justify this
- 54:44Speaker 1: horrendous bullshit. But I'm watching this and I'm like, this
- 54:49Speaker 1: is sad, Like this is really sad. Randy Orton, he says,
- 54:57Speaker 1: we'll be a fifteen time world champion in Las Vegas.
- 55:00Speaker 1: After he demoralizes and pummels the puppet, and before he
- 55:04Speaker 1: could go on even further, we hear, well, here comes
- 55:06Speaker 1: the puppet and his music. Here comes the WWE champion,
- 55:11Speaker 1: Cody Roads, and mercifully he cut off McAfee here. But
- 55:17Speaker 1: he took a sweet time coming down to the ring.
- 55:20Speaker 1: And he gets inside of prolonged the pain of this segment.
- 55:23Speaker 1: I'm like, can we speed this up please? So he
- 55:26Speaker 1: gets up in McAfee's face and he got some light
- 55:29Speaker 1: Cody chants. This was not like Cody Cody. He was
- 55:34Speaker 1: not getting some overwhelming Okay, now they're fully behind Cody Roads,
- 55:38Speaker 1: but there were some Cody chants, and he said, I'm
- 55:42Speaker 1: going to go out on a limb and say, I
- 55:46Speaker 1: don't think Pat McAfee belongs here. He knows he can't
- 55:49Speaker 1: touch him, but why don't we get him a Fanatics
- 55:52Speaker 1: replica belt. They look just like the real thing. He
- 55:55Speaker 1: could do one of the wrestler entrances. He could live
- 55:58Speaker 1: out his superstar experience and then he can go back
- 56:00Speaker 1: to whoever sent him here and he can tell them,
- 56:03Speaker 1: thank you, daddy. There's this old term in pro wrestling
- 56:08Speaker 1: where someone says, oh, he's a play wrestler. He didn't
- 56:12Speaker 1: know what it meant until last week when he saw
- 56:14Speaker 1: Pat McAfee doing catchphrases talking about the Attitude Era. He goes,
- 56:19Speaker 1: that was thirty years ago. Randy Yorton debuted in two
- 56:23Speaker 1: thousand and two. He was a teenager during the Attitude Era.
- 56:27Speaker 1: He watched the Attitude Era in high school. Then he
- 56:32Speaker 1: mentioned there was an old promoter named Paul Bosh, And
- 56:35Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, I never would have expected that
- 56:39Speaker 1: in the span of one week we would get to
- 56:41Speaker 1: Paul Bosh mentions on two different WWE shows. But here
- 56:45Speaker 1: we are because they were in Houston on Monday Night
- 56:48Speaker 1: and if you remember, seam Punk mentioned Paul Bosch and
- 56:51Speaker 1: his promo and tonight Cody Rhods came out and Cody
- 56:55Speaker 1: Rhoads mentioned Paul Bosh. You know what's missing in wrestling
- 56:57Speaker 1: right now? You know what's missing in this company A
- 56:59Speaker 1: Paul Bosh. That's what's missing. Paul Bosh is rolling over
- 57:03Speaker 1: in his fucking grave right now hearing his name mentioned
- 57:08Speaker 1: on some of these god awful shows. That's what this
- 57:11Speaker 1: company is missing right now? Where's Paul Bosh when you
- 57:17Speaker 1: need him? We could use Paul Bosh right about now.
- 57:23Speaker 1: But he goes Paul Bosh he used to because McAfee,
- 57:27Speaker 1: you know, talks about Marx and he talks about you know,
- 57:30Speaker 1: the IWC and making the business great again. He goes,
- 57:36Speaker 1: you know what Paul Bosh used to say about people
- 57:37Speaker 1: that would call the fans Marx. He goes, they're not Marx,
- 57:40Speaker 1: they're customers, and they're not even customers to Cody. To Cody,
- 57:45Speaker 1: their family. Pat has a gift. For the centuries that
- 57:52Speaker 1: pro wrestling has been around, they have never agreed on
- 57:55Speaker 1: anything except what he's about to tell. For the first
- 57:57Speaker 1: time ever, the entire Hire fandom agrees on one thing.
- 58:02Speaker 1: At WrestleMania. They want to see Randy Orton and they
- 58:07Speaker 1: don't want to see Pat McAfee and the fans let
- 58:11Speaker 1: out a cheer. See so Cody, Cody got a cheer here,
- 58:15Speaker 1: he got cheered. Cody told him go home, Pat. So
- 58:22Speaker 1: Cody went to go leave and McAfee said, I am home, dipshits.
- 58:28Speaker 1: Cody was born into this business, he says, silver spoon,
- 58:31Speaker 1: and all he sees is the fakest dude on earth.
- 58:34Speaker 1: Spray tan dyed hair, fake teeth, lispie lips, and a
- 58:39Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars suit that you think makes you look
- 58:41Speaker 1: good because Rick Flair said it's the right thing to do.
- 58:44Speaker 1: He called Cody a cosplayed champion, and he has a
- 58:47Speaker 1: message for Cody and his inbred family here. If Randy
- 58:50Speaker 1: Orton doesn't walk out of WrestleMania as a fifteen time
- 58:52Speaker 1: world champion, then we will never see or hear from
- 58:55Speaker 1: Pat McAfee on wrestling television ever again, will never be
- 58:58Speaker 1: in this business again. So the fans chanted go home, Pat.
- 59:05Speaker 1: Cody told him, Hey, Pat, why don't you take your
- 59:06Speaker 1: shades off? Bud? Or wait? Are you too high to
- 59:09Speaker 1: remember that? You were standing on that table for the
- 59:11Speaker 1: last three years yeating your brains out. He says, oh, yeah,
- 59:15Speaker 1: you must really hate this place. And Pat said, I'm tired.
- 59:20Speaker 1: Oh you're tired. Oh there's Cody talking to him. Now,
- 59:22Speaker 1: Oh you're tired. You said you're tired. Well, why don't
- 59:24Speaker 1: you take a nap? He goes, let's get Gunther out
- 59:27Speaker 1: here to put you to sleep once and for all.
- 59:29Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, we already saw that. I
- 59:33Speaker 1: don't know if Cody remembers that we already saw that,
- 59:35Speaker 1: but we already saw that once before. We don't need
- 59:37Speaker 1: to see it again. So Cody left the ring and
- 59:39Speaker 1: McAfee asked him, Hey, where are you going? And he
- 59:41Speaker 1: called him He's trying to get him to come back. Now.
- 59:44Speaker 1: He calls him star Dust and he goes, where are
- 59:46Speaker 1: you going, Cody? You gonna go suck Triple H's ass.
- 59:50Speaker 1: This is what he said. Are you going to suck
- 59:53Speaker 1: Triple H's ass? He says, are You're gonna spread Levec's cheeks.
- 59:58Speaker 1: I can just picture some of the people in the
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: crowd who are not really like chronically online or on
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: social media. They don't follow all of this stuff, like
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: listening to this fucking like garbage, Like, what are we
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: even doing here? Now he's out there talking about Cody
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: sucking Paul Leveck's ass cheeks? What are we doing? How
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: did we go from Cody Roads against Randy Orton to this?
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: And by this point we still had not seen Randy
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: Orton on this show. So Cody pulls his jacket off,
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: he pulls his tie off, and he begins to make
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: his way back down to ringside. Suddenly, finally Randy Orton
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: appears on the screen and he says that Cody should
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: come get his boy, and we see him kneeling over
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: the dead body of Jelly Roll, who was taken out
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: on who's taken out off screen. He goes better yet,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: I'll bring your boy out to you, and Orton drags
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: out Jelly Roll out to the stage. McAfee tried to
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: sneak attack on Coddy, who turned to face McAfee, but
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Orton ambushed him from behind, So we got a double
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: team attack here on Cody. Now, Jelly Roll recovers and
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: he stumbles his way down to the ring and he
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: gets up on the apron and at one point he
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: had he had goozled McAfee right, he grabbed him by
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: the throat to not much of a reaction. Orton comes over,
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: he punches jelly roll and tumbles off the apron to
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: the floor. McAfee hands Orton the WWE title and he
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: blasts Cody in the head with it. And then it
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: was very appropriate that at the end of all of this,
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: Pat McAfee has the WWE championship draped over his shoulder,
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: not Cody Roads, not Randy Orton, Pat McAfee and McAfee
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: and Orton they leave the ring, and then after a
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: commercial break, we cut to the back. Orton and McAfee
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: are leaving the building. McAfee is still holding the WWE
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: title and he gets back at his pickup truck. Orton's
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: in the passenger seat and McAfee rolls the window down
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: and he says, hey, IWC and wrestling fans or marks
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: if you will, you're welcome, and then he speeds away.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: I don't know that I can adequately put into words
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: how fucking terrible all of this is. And if you're
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: somebody who finds some sort of kind of twisted pleasure
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: or enjoyment out of all this, I mean, God bless you.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: God bless you. This has taken a Wrestlemaniam main event
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: that I was genuinely looking forward to, and it is.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: It is a situation now where I'm trying to look
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: ahead to what comes next and look beyond what's coming
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: up next weekend, and it doesn't get any better because
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: of the rumors are to be believed, We're we're heading
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: for a tag team match where it's going to be
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: Cody and Jelly against Randy Orton and Pat McAfee. So
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: this is only going to continue, at least for another month.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: It's only going to continue. It doesn't end at WrestleMania.
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: It just goes on from there and it just continues.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: This is this is genuinely bad television. This is embarrassing.
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: It's the sort of thing that, again, if I saw
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: this in another promotion, and I have, you know, at
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: times before, I would just I would cringe watching it.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: But this is the WrestleMania main event. This is Cody Rhoades,
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: their top babyface, the WWE champion, you know, this is
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: this is their top angle right now, and it's all
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: being done in the name of trying to a get
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: Pat McAfee in a role that's going to get him
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: added visibility for whatever other roles his agents may have
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: in mind for him, but also because WrestleMania the first
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: hour of each night is airing on ESPN this year
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: and they want to use an ESPN personality to try
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: to get as many eyeballs on the show as possible.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: Storyline be damned, it doesn't matter to them. These people
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: that are making these decisions, above Paul Lavac and whoever
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: would normally be making these types of creative decisions, Their
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: main priority right now is not story. You know, for
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: a company built on story, we tell stories, we're storytellers.
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: It is in the background now, like it is not
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: the priority. The story doesn't matter. It's not about that.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: A they want to sell tickets because they're pissed off
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: they haven't sold as many as they did last year.
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: And B they have so many ulterior motives and intentions
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: in mind here that it is clouding what had been
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: otherwise the potential to be a very good story. And
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: that's really the great sin. I think of this entire thing,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: like it didn't have to be this way. But you
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: have you know, a TKO executive who's sitting up in
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: his penthouse who has jelly for brains and who doesn't
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: really give a shit about any of this. But if
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: you're someone who watches the show's week to week, if
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: you're a fan who will buy a ticket to go
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: to WrestleMania or tune in on the ESPN app, and
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: you're paying attention week to week to what's going on here,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: there's no justification for this. It's bad television, it's embarrassing,
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: it's and frankly, again, it's pathetic to see them groveling
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: this way on their own show, and they've incorporated it
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: into the storyline because they're so unhappy with ticket sales.
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: They're begging people, begging them to buy tickets. We'll do anything,
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: you know. We'll have this discount, and we'll have ram
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: Truck sponsor a twenty five percent discount, and on three
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: sixteen day, we'll have another discount. Buy one, get one
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: for Like, they're trying everything they can right now, and
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: tickets aren't moving at the pace that they were hoping for.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: You've got to give people a reason to actually want
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: to tune in and actually show up and pay money
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: to go to the show. And they have done a
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: terrible job with one of the key matches on their show.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: It's it's just it's unforgivable what they have done with
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: this match here did not need to be this way.
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: Blame whoever you want to blame for, but this is
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: where we are now. This is now the Pat McAfee show.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with Randy Orton. This has
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: nothing to do with Randy Orton winning Number fifteen. May
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: well win number fifteen, but that's not even the story here.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: The story is no longer Randy Orton or Cody Roads.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: It's Pat McAfee and Jelly Roll. This is twenty twenty
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: six WWE, and I've seen some bad build ups to
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: matches in main events. I vividly remember the tug a
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: War back in twenty eighteen over the WWE Championship heading
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: into WrestleMania between Roman Reigns and brock lesnar Like. There's
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: still some stuff like that that stands at in my mind.
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: And we're not even at the final like go Home
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: SmackDown yet, But I've seen enough. I don't even need
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: to know what they do now, I've seen enough. This
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: is among the worst I've ever seen, just the absolute
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: drizzling shits. Nick All. This was confronted backstage by the
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: Mizz and Kit Wilson, who complained about what happened to
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: referee Dan Engler last week. There was a tag team
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: championship match and the referee was about to count three
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it's like, ooh, he
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: was cursed and his arm. He couldn't count the three
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: and something was going on with his arm, like the
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: fucking berserker. And so they were very upset about this,
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: and they said there had to be consequences for what happened.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: So all this said that Kit Wilson is going to
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: face Dan. He thought he was gonna say Dan Engler,
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: but he goes, Dan Housen, You're gonna have a match
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: with Dan Housen tonight here on the show, And I
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: thought to myself, wait a minute, that's the fourth match
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: that was made tonight. During the show. We had EO
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Sky and Jade Carga. Apparently we had no main event,
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: so we had Eo and Jade that was signed at
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: the beginning of the night. For the main event. We
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: had Jacob Fotu right in action. Who did Jacob graw?
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: My guy, I can't remember, Trick williams Now Tomatoga. The
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: fucking know he wrestled Tomatonga. Matt Cardona went to go
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: find all this so that he could wrestle Trick Williams
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: later in the show. And now this Dan Housen against
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: Kit Wilson. Four fucking matches? What does Nick all this
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: do all week? Other than of course, you know, I mean, look,
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: I'm sure he, you know, has some some happy time
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: with his wife and that's great, good for him, But like,
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: beyond that, what else does this man do? Is that
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: all he does during the week? As if so, I mean, hey,
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: good for you man, high five, But my god, four
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: fucking matches? Did he have anything booked other than Pat
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: McAfee tonight when he came to the fucking building in
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: San Jose? What does he do all week? Jacob fought
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: against Tomatonga. Crowd was dead silent through the commercial break.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: Here they got into Fatu late in the match. We
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: had a moment here where he had hit the pop
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: up Samoan drop, and then we had Tama looking for cutthroat,
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: which is his finish. There was a kick from fat
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: Tu that met him instead, and then we got the
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: Mighty Moon Salt and the people pot for the moon salt,
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: because you always pot for the mighty Moon salt, and
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: with that Jacob Fatu was able to pick up the win.
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: This was on the slow side Fatu, though he looked
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: good here and the crab pot for again the finish.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: I would imagine Solo Suko is not going to be
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: very happy that Tomatanga went in there and he lost
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: on behalf of the MFTs. And so if there are
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: people who are actually invested in this story, then maybe
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: they'll care. But I can't imagine most people really give
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: a shit about this. When the match was over, though,
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: fa Tu he got on the mic, didn't really get
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: a chance to say too much until he was attacked
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: from behind by Drew McIntyre. So fat Tuo hit him
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: with a superkig, but then he got dropped with the
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: claymore McIntyre threw him out of the ring. He sent
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: him headfirst into the steps, and then he grabbed a
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: chair and he slammed it across Fatu's back. McIntyre planted
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: in with a future shock ddt on the floor and
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: then he grabbed a pair of handcuffs. Look at this,
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: we're getting kinky now between these two. So he grabs
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: handcuffs and it's like the long chain, right, So what
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: he does, and this actually turned out to be maybe
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: the funniest segment of the entire show. He handcuffed him
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: to the ring post, but he did it in a way.
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: And now we've seen this before, if you remember the
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: way Randy Orton cuffed John Sena to the posts and
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: there I quit match many years ago at breaking point.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: Or to use an example that was given to us
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: on Raw Monday Night by one cmpunk, if you remember
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: the infamous dog food segment on this show when Roman
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: Reigns got Cup to the ring post by King Corbin
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: and was forced to eat dog food the way that
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: we're forced to eat dog shit every single week that
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: we watched this television show. That's what they did here.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: So he placed the chain over the ring post and
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: the idea was that Fat two would be Cup to
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: the post and he would be defenseless, right except except
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: I guess the chain broke. I don't know what happened here,
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: And so after like one shot that he gave him,
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: the cups broke and Fatu fell to the floor. So
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: he did it again. He cuffed him around the ring
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: post and then he gave him another shot, and for
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: a second time, the cups broke, I guess, and he
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: fell to the floor. The cuffs went into business for themselves.
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: So back in the ring, there was one final Claymore
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: kick from McIntyre that put fat Tu down for good.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: Officials and producers. They flooded into the ring and tried
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: to stop McIntyre, but he shoved them away. Then he
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: was whipping Fatu with his belt. It broke three times,
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: says Anobie. Oh well, well, all right, I thought it
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: was twice. It might have actually broken three times. The
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: cups were not cooperating. So this was the final bit
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: of hype for their unsanctioned match. I would imagine next
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: week with a lot of this stuff, we're gonna get
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: a lot of video packages. So for all intents and purposes,
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: unless they have like a contract signing or something, this
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: was really it. And you know, I thought what they
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: did was fine. I mean, I'm not terribly I'm just
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: not terribly excited for a lot of what's going on
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: on SmackDown right now. I'm really not. But Drew and
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: Jacob I have every expectation they're going to go out
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: there and have a kick ass match, despite you know,
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: the segments week to week or the story that they're
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: trying to tell with them. Once the bell rings and
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: they go out there and they do their thing, I'm
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: not worried about the match. I'm sure the match is
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: going to be very good. Now we go to the back.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: Our Truth is doing his monthly shilling of the ESPN
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: Unlimited app and how to use it again for everybody
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: who was too brain damage to figure it out on
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: their own, here's what you. So he's talking to somebody,
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: we can't see who it is. They're off camera, and
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: then the camera pans over and we see that it's
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: Dan Housen. He says he's going to become the Missus
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: Apprentice after beating Kit Wilson tonight. So Damian Priest walks
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: in and Truth is denying that he confused Dan Housen
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: with Oscar last week, and comedy ensues. Then we hear
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: a commotion nearby. Rhea Ripley throws beefab into some equipment
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: and then we see Ria and she goes one down,
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: one to go. Then after this, it was out to
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: the ring with the United States Champion. No not Julia,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: She's banned from the building. But the men's United States
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: champion Sammy's ay, and he is getting booed badly like
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: he's a heel to these fans like this is not like,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: oh man, he got some light booze, Like no, he
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: went out there and he was fucking booed out of
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: the building. He goes he had, of course, he acknowledged it.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: He goes interesting reaction, Yes, very interesting, he said, Well,
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: I think it's about time we nip this in the bud.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: He could hear the winds of change, he says. All
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: everyone talks about is change these days. Even his friends
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: like Cody Rhodes Randy Orton have told him that he
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: should change and he should, you know, become a different
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain. But out here, by the sound of it,
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: the people want to see change as well, and they're
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: just booing the shit out of him. More booze raining
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: down upon poor Sammy's Ain. So Sammy says he's built
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: his career around giving people something more than a T
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: shirt or a phrase or a viral moment. He's tried
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: to give us himself. He wants to be himself. He
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: wants to be real, and he wants people. You know,
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: he knows that people are gonna boo, but there's also
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: people that will cheer because he's got fans out there
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: that still care about him being able to give them
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: something real tho. Those are the fans he cares about.
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: The kids that he meets who believes in him boo.
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: He just going on. He goes the people who found
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: inspiration in him boo. That's basically the crowd tonight towards
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: Poort Samy's Ain. He says he still loves us and
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: he's not going to betray us. As for the ones
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: booing him, he doesn't even know what he What did
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: I do? He said, like, what did I do to
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: deserve this? But that's okay because he doesn't care. His
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: real fans will always have his back. He knows there
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: are ride Ride or Die Sammy's Ain fans out there.
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: He goes, where are you at? Where are those rider
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: die fans? And they just continued to boom. If they
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: were there, they were drowned out by the fans who
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: were booing. He goes. In nine days he enters WrestleMania
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: as the champion and he will leave as champion boo.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: So that brings out Trick Williams, who definitely he gets
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: the opposite of booze. He gets applause. The fans are
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: very happy. Yes, the fans are very happy to see
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: Trick Williams. They chant whoop that Trick as he makes
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: his way out to the ring with his side chick
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: Lil YACHTI So Trick thinks that the people are tired
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: of hearing Sammy talk. That gets a big pop. All
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: Sammy does is whine and cry. Trick didn't need twenty
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: years to get to this spot. But whether you like
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: it or hate it, He's going to beat Sammy's ass
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: at WrestleMania. Everyone loves Trick Williams. Sammy disagrees. He says,
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: the people don't love Trick. Love takes time to build.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: What have you been here for six months? If that?
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: And I'm like, uh, it's more like half that. It
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: hasn't even been anywhere close to six months that he's
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: been on TV on the main roster. He goes, the
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: fans have a crush on Tricky. He may even be
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: a little infatuated, and for good reason. But here's the thing.
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: You can make jokes at his expense, but to WrestleMania
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: Trick has to wrestle a main eventter and Trick will
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: drown in deep waters. Trick hasn't shown anything, and at
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: WrestleMania he'll find out real quick whether or not he
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: can hang. So out comes Matt Cardona for the next match,
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: and with that we go to the commercial. As far
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: as the reaction to Sammy, I mean this has been
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: building now for a while. This was not like an
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: overnight thing. People have liked Trick from the moment he
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: showed up on SmackDown. They hear that music, they want
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: to chant, whoop that Trick. I would say, within two
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: weeks if that right of him being on the main roster,
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: he was already getting more cheers than Booze. It's just
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: been building and building and building ever since then. And
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: for Sammy it's exactly the opposite where the fans kind
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: of started booing him, and now it's just full blown
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: like fucking boo we don't like you. You know, you're
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: too weak, And I mean how many times we have
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: to sit through segments on that show where Sammy was
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: like second guessing himself and he was depressed and he
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: was smacking water bottles around, and I mean, you know,
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: after a while, fans will like, I don't want cheer
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: for this guy. This guy's fucking pathetic. This guy over
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: here he looks cool, right, he's fun, will cheer for him.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: So it's been a it's been a gradual thing. And
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: I'm you know, watching this, and I mean, I certainly
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: hope that was the anticipated reaction. Yeah, you had Sammy going, wait,
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: hold on a second, what did I do? Like, I
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: would certainly hope that was all part of the plan
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: here and not him just genuinely like, hey, hold on,
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: admitted here I got my rider. Die fans, what are
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: you booing me for? Never? Never, in all these weeks
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: that we've been seeing this play out, has it felt
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: to me like a better time. And I've said this before,
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: to do a double turn at WrestleMania than it does
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: right now, you could pull it off. You could pull it.
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: I mean, the fans were already kind of doing it
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: for you. But I think there's a way to do
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: it at WrestleMania where Sammy is willing to go to
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: a place and do something that he normally would not
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: be willing to. Like Babyface, Sammy's a would not be
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: willing to take a short cut. He would not be
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: willing to take the low road if that's what it
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: takes to keep his championship. And I think we're going
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: to see something like that at WrestleMania. That'll be sort
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: of the inflection point and call it a double turn
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: or whatever, but I think that's the moment where everything
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: kind of gets flipped because it just makes all the
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: sense in the world, and Trick doesn't have to win
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: the belt to WrestleMania. Like you could just have that
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: moment where Sammy finally realizes, like, okay, you want me
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: to change, and he, like I said, he takes that shortcut.
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: He's able to keep his championship, and then coming out
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: of WrestleMania, you can build to Trick eventually getting the belt.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: I don't know if that's what they're gonna do, But
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: Trick doesn't necessarily have to win the title of WrestleMania,
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. But again, if it wasn't clear
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: earlier on the show, it's certainly clear now. No Carmelo
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: Hayes added to this match of WrestleMania. But we had
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: Trick Williams against Mac Cardona. This did not need thirteen minutes.
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: This probably went about five minutes too long. Cardona made
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: a comeback. He lined up trick for a Brosky boot
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: he pulled out at Chelsea Green un prettier for a
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: near fall. Williams responded by sending Cardona face first into
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: the turnbuckle hit a neck breaker. So Cardona again, he
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: made a comeback and we had like a little run
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: of offense here from him, Lil YACHTI. At this point,
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: Samy's ain got up on the apron because they were
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: all out there to watch what was going on here,
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: and Williams had challenged Samy's Ain to come fight him,
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: So Sammy got up on the apron. Lil YACHTI tripped
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: him up. He was all happy and proud of himself,
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: but then as he's walking away when he turned around,
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: he ate a halluva kick and so down goes Lil YACHTI.
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: In the ring, Williams avoided a roll up and then
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: he finished off Cardona with the trick shot. So yeah,
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: I mean, we got our one on one match at
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: WrestleMania for the US title, and I don't know what
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: they're gonna do, but it is right for a double turn.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: If anybody could really use a shake up in their character.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: Right now, it is Sammy's ay. He's just in this
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: weird place where people they're gonna want to boo him now.
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: But for a while there, they didn't really know how
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: to react. He wasn't getting these overwhelmingly positive reactions either
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: over the last few months. So I think you need
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: to make a decision one way or the other. Do
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: you want him to be a babyface or do you
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: want him to be a heel? And I think right
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: now him being a heel is what makes sense and
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: trick Williams in the long run. Being a babyface. I mean,
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: he's already kind of a babyface, but I wouldn't change
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: anything radically about his character, his personality. He shouldn't be
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: going around kissing babes and sucking up to the fans
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: or anything like that. Just sort of let him do
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: his thing, and I think the fans will just continue
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: to naturally, you know, gravitate towards him, just sort of
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: stay the course. The story here really is Sammy. You know,
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: he's the one undergoing this sort of transformation right now.
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: But then it was time for the in ring debut
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: of Dan Housen. He actually had a match against Kit Wilson,
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: and they announced Dan Housen as hailing from thirteen eleven
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: Mockingbird Lane, which I thought was very clever. If you're
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: too young to know what that reference is all about,
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: the Monsters used to live at thirteen thirteen Mockingbird Lane.
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: The Monsters was a TV show from the sixties. No,
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: I was not born in the sixties, but I did
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: used to watch Monsters reruns. It was a very popular
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: show there for a couple of years. I think it
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: was only a couple of years too. I don't think it.
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: I don't think it went on for like years and years,
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: and maybe it was like two years. Anyway, they lived
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: at thirteen thirteen mocking Bird Lanes, so Dan Housen apparently
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: is neighbors with the Munsters. For those who get the reference,
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: So dan Housen hits a drop kick and then he
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: hits a bridging supplex for a two ken. The announcers
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: play it up like, Wow, we didn't know he had
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: this sort of wrestling ability, even though I mean, he's
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: been here now for what month and a half, and
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: he is a wrestler, right, I mean, why else is
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: he here? Has anybody asked the question up to this
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: point of like who this guy is and why he's here,
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: one would assume he's a wrestler. He knows some wrestling holds.
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: So Miz was outside with his back turned. He was
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: playing to the crowd. He thought that Kit Wilson was
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: in control. Dan Housen does a baseball slide out to
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: the floor and he sort of just sidles up to
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: him and poses besides the mis and the mist first
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: doesn't realize that it's Dan Housen, and then when he does,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: he gets all freaked out. So they did the Shawn
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: Michaels and Molina spot from Survivor series. But then Wilson
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: comes flying in from out of nowhere with his leaping
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: charging elbow that actually looked really good, and he wiped
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: out Dan Housen. Back inside, Wilson headed up top for
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: a diving elbow, but before he could dive off, Dan
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: Housen sat up. He did an undertaker sit up, and
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: then he looked up at Kit Wilson. He did the
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is, I don't know what the
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: fuck this is. I don't know what I'm doing. That
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: thing he does, you know where he just goes like this.
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: He cursed the entire show, but he cursed Kit Wilson,
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: and as soon as he curses him, a burst of
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: pyro like a sparkler, shoots up. He almost shot up
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: his ass. It shot up from the ring post where
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: he was standing. It may have gone up his ass,
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: and then he ends up crouching himself on the top rope.
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: Miz got knocked off the apron by Dan Housen, who
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: finished Wilson off with a running boot for the wind.
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: But then when the match was over, the Miz was
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: sizing him up. He was gonna give him a skull
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: crushing for now. The lights go out, and when the
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: lights come back on, Dan Housen is in the process
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: of running up the aisleway, so he was able to escape.
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: This man is a magician. He has magical powers. Yeah,
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: the jokes on Dan Housen, SmackDown is already koyah. There's
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: nothing he could do. You can't double curse SmackDown. SmackDown's
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: already been cursed. Look with the Dan Housen stuff, I'm
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: fine with there being comic relief. I get a kick
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: out of his stick. Like I said last week with
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: the referee. You know he got cursed and he couldn't
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: count the three and like, it's one of those things
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: where I wish the overall show was so much better
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: than it is, and then you kind of have that
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: one comic relief or two comic relief segments and that's fine,
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: but the show is so fucking atrocious to go from
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: all the stuff that I just described and everything I
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: just talked about, you know, into something like this, and
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: you just sort of sit there and go, what are
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: we doing here? You know? I like Dan Housen, I
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: just he's on a terrible television show and it's not
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: like he's really he's not meant to be the kind
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: of person who is going to take an awful television
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: show and make it better. That's not his role on
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: the show. So it doesn't make the show better. But again,
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: it's amusing enough doesn't bother me. Backstage, Jade Cargill is
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: getting ready to come out for her main event and
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: she doesn't have her baddies with her, but she finds
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: Mechen laid out on the floor and she goes what
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: happened and Michen says, Jade or not Jade? She looked
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: up at her and goes, well, Jade, she goes Ria.
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: Ria got to her, and so Jade says she knows
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: what she has to do. So in any event, Rhea
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: Ripley is about to come out here. Actually, no, after
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: what am I saying? We have to go to the announcers. Oh,
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: this is great, You're gonna love this. So they go
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: to a break and we have Joe tested to our
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: hyping that on SmackDown next week we will have the
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal And I've told you,
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: if it were up to me, Royce Keys would be
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: the winner. And get ready, it's the MFTs against the
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: Wyatt six. I told you we weren't done with this.
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: I told you we weren't that. And we're not gonna
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: be done with the next week either. I'm not convinced
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: that we're gonna be done with the next week either.
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: But they're gonna have a street fight. They're gonna have
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: a Las Vegas street fight. So if you thought we
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: were done with this because they got the lantern back,
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: we ain't done with it yet. We got to wrap
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: this up with a street fight next week. Gee, I'm sorry,
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: I won't be here for that one. I won't be
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: here for Dynamite or SmackDown next week. Oh man, I'm
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: so bummed about that. What will I ever do? I
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: may have to join a support group. But then Joe
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: and Wade are running down all of the matches for
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: the WrestleMania Night one card and the WrestleMania Nite two card,
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: and they're going through the matches and they come upon
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: Demon Finn Balor because they gotta sell tickets, so they
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: just went and told you it's gonna be Demon Balor
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: one on one with Dominic Mysterio. And I'm listening to
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: this and they actually had Wade Barrett, I hope they
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: had him say this, and he didn't just say this
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: on his own. They had Wade Barrett say it's the
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: Demon version, perhaps unbeatable. Unbeatable, Yes, unbeatable except for the
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: last two matches that we've seen the Demon in that
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: he lost. You lost the Roman Reigns, and he lost
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: the edge inside Hell and hisself. So except for the
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: two matches that he fucking lost, Yes, I suppose you
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: could say he's unbeatable. They just say shit on this
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: show like they there's no like they don't care, they
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: don't give a shit. It's like Hey, if it sounds good,
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: we'll just say it, even if it's not true, even
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: if it doesn't make any sense. Whatever. We got to
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: make this guy sound intimidating, so we'll just call him unbeatable. Sure, amazing.
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: Jade car Gill in the main event, one on one
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: against the Yo Sky God Bless EO. I mean, she tried,
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: she tried, She tried to get the people into this.
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: She pointed at herself. You know, this is what EO does, right, right,
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: this is what EO does. I feel like doing that
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: to myself when I'm watching this show, only my head
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: in the wall, just go back and forth like that.
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: So she's doing that, and the fans love doing this,
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: so of course everybody cheers. It's an easy way to
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: get the people to pop. But there was no heat
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: to be had here in this match Jade. There was
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: a nice little blue thunderbomb by Jade. Then she had
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: EO in position for a choke slam. EO turned it
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: into a double stomp. Jade rolled outside. She got dropped
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: by a moon salt from the apron by EO. Jade
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: then dropped her face first onto the steel steps with
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: a wheelbarrow, and then came the pump kick and then jaded,
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: like me, when this show is over, I'm very jaded.
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: And she got the win, and of course she was
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: going to because she's the WWE champion and she's the
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: one who has a WrestleMania match and not EO's guy,
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: So it made sense that Jade would win. But it
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: was still sad though that EO ended up being used
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: as a pawn in someone else's story. You know, this
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: is a woman who went out there last year as
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: the defending World Heavyweight Champion and had the best match
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: all weekend of WrestleMania. In my opinion, I think I
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: had it on my list as my favorite match, my
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: top match of twenty twenty five, and as of this moment,
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: as of this moment, eight days out from the show,
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: she does not have a match. So instead we'll use
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: her to get this other story over. This other story
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: which has been horrendous. By the way, that hasn't been
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: I mean, it's still better than this Pat McAfee bullshit,
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: but it's not like that story's been lighting the world
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: on fire either. So she took the l here in
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: this match. When it was over, Jade goes outside. She
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: grabs a chair and she brings the chair into the
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: ring with her and Rhea Ripley. She runs down to
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: the ring and jumps inside, and now they're circling each
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: other right around EO's carcass, just laying in the middle
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: of the ring. And Jade drops the chair out to
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: the floor like Sting when he would drop the baseball
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: bat and then he would go beat up the nWo.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: She drops the chair and then she leaps, She goes outside,
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: she sets the chair up, she opens a chair on
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: the floor, but then she just walks away and she
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: heads down the aisle and she says, I'll see you
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: at WrestleMania. And that was it. Very anticlimactic ending to
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: the show here. But they go off the air, and
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: I'm like, they went three minutes overtime, which is very
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: unusual for SmackDown. SmackDown does not typically get an overrun,
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: nor should it because you have three hours, so what
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: the hell do you need an overrun for? But they
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: got a three minute overrun, And I'm just like, I'm
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: looking at this and especially what we got an overrun for.
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: It's not like anything happened at the end the last thing.
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: This three hour pile of shit needs is an extra
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: three minutes. Fuck this show and fuck anybody who had
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: anything to do with producing it. Those are my thoughts
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: on SmackDown tonight. They found somehow they found a way
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: to take an angle from last week in that horror
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: segment we had on the show last week, all the
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: McAfee stuff, and they found a way to maga worse.
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: I didn't think that was possible. As bad as last
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: week was, I didn't think it was possible, But they
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: keep proving me wrong every single week. They somehow found
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: a way to make it worse. Because this dragged on
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: even longer, and this, unlike last week where McAfee came
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: out towards the end of the segment like he was
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: the big reveal, he was the big surprise this week.
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: Who was the Pat McAfee show. From the moment he
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: strolled into the building in the back and had his
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: confrontation with Jelly Roll to the moment he went out
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: there in the ring and had his confrontation with Cody
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: Rhoades to the moment he left the building and got
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: in his car and called everybody marks and then drove off.
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: It was the Pat McAfee show. Through and through, and
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: you know he's out there, you know, using all of
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: the insider terms and doing the work shoot stuff and
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: talking about Punk who has nothing to do with this
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: fucking match, and he's half the fucking promo is cut
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: on CM Punk, Like they're out there shooting on each other.
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: How is that supposed to get me excited for Cody
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: Roads against Randy Orton? Like, shouldn't that be the goal here?
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: So this week was far worse in terms of what
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: they did, far worse and far more counterproductive than even
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: what they did last week? What did you think of? SmackDown?
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: Ten percent, thumbs up? Ninety percent went for the shit emoji.
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: I thought about putting it for the thumbs up too,
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: That way you'd have no choice but to pick the
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: poop emoji. The poop emoji is actually a just the
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: perfect representation of this show. But I think that Poul
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: says it all. How did we get to this point?
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: How did it get so bad? How does this show
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: get so bad? It's just mind boggling. Today's episode is

- 1:36:19Speaker 1: Do you think McAfee is going to mention the cage
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: match rating? Oh? That was Yeah, that was great too
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: last week when he alluded to the cage match rating
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: for SmackDown when SmackDown got its worst ever rating on
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: cagematch dot Net. I never want to hear anybody make
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: fun of Tony Kahan ever again for bringing up cage
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: match after we had Pat McAfee go on television last
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: week and allude to a cage match rating. At first,
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: when he first made that comment last week, I thought
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: he was talking about one of the recent television ratings,
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: but when I had checked, that's actually not true. SmackDown
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: did not get its lowest television rating recently, but it
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: did get its lowest cage match rating, And then I
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: realized this is even worse than I thought. Death side
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: to buy or sell on which TV match was better?
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: And deserve to have a proper program. John Cena versus
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: Jeff Hardy on the June second, two thousand and eight
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: episode of Raw or CM Punk against AJ Styles on
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: the January twenty sixth, twenty twenty sixth episode of Raw
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: Punk and AJ. They should have had a proper pl match,
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: but again, you know, AJ was winding down and unfortunately
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: there just wasn't enough time to do it. What was
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: that his second to last match. That's what happens when
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: you wait, sometimes you run out of time. Unfortunately, super
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: Pony Kenny Omega was right. The main event of WrestleMania
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: next year will be Mister Beast against I Show Speed
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: hashtag fuck TKO, hashtag Ruthless Depression Chicago for MBK, Pat
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: and Jelly squaring off n WWE. What a joke. It's amazing,
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: and there are people that will lap it up. That's
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: your main event feud and people will lap it up.
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: Death Sithe says on Monday, Roman should go full Jason
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: Vorhees on Punk like Rock did Dacody in twenty twenty four,
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: because there's no way he can come back at punk
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: on the mic, I think that you're disrespecting Jason Vorhees
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: when you say that. Let's not downplay how brutal Jason
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: could be. A workingman says A finger poke of Doom
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: was better than this. Yes, you know why, because it
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: was quick. It's like ripping off a band aid. At
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: least it was quick. This is like a prolonged death
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: Chicago for MBK, it's getting worse every week. WTF, I know?
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: Brother Chaotic says, rip this ish apart and fans boycott Mania. Well,
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: they're not going to boycott Mania. Not if they paid
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: already for their ticket. They're not going to can only
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: imagine what they paid for that ticket. They're going to WrestleMania.
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: That adin't get a change. Uh, super Pony, what's going on?
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: Brother says they had Pat hold the fucking title up,
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: not the guide challenging for it on the biggest show
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: of the year. What the fuck is happening? I think
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: Pat McAfee is going to become WWE Champions soon Chicago
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: for MVK, is this the worst WrestleMania build ever for
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: a match? If it isn't, it's it's definitely top three, absolutely,
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: especially for a match of this importance, a main event
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: level match. Yes, mactubb Triple H still deserves most of
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: the blame. Not TKO deserves blame as well. You can
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: blame them both. We're not excusing TKO Super Pony Ari
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: Emmanuel is evil, Yes, Prince Vegeta says as it comes
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: to celebrities in the Cody Randy feud, as Leon says
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: in one of the Greatest games of all time, Resident
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: Evil for no thanks Bro? Is that like his signature quote?
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: No thanks Bro? Is that what Vince Russo says when
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: he gets a call from a telemarketer? No thanks, Bro?
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: We got Josh Stockton mulletman. Get that clown McAfee off
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: of TV. I haven't watched the weekly shows for years.
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: I can't stommach them, so I just watched clips on
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: YouTube first time ever. I won't be tuning in to WrestleMania.
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: Thank you, Sole Monster. You are doing God's work. It's
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: getting harder and harder. Josh Metal Ghost zero. That was
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: the worst promo I've ever seen. Cody could not save it.
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: It just kept going. I quit. I don't care anymore.
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: Pat told us not to watch Night two. Why even
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: watch any of it? Solo? You Rock? I don't blame you, man,
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: I mean, there's just a lot of people who are
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: very disillusioned with the product overall, but especially you know
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: the way they've sabotaged this MATCHI and whoever you want
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: to blame for it, I don't really give a shit
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: who you blame. But this is happening. This is a
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: thing that's happening in real time and we're watching it
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: play out, and it's just very sad that they have ruined.
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: They have ruined one of the WrestleMania made events. And
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: I feel like, even if they shot some kind of
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: major angle at the show, let's just let's just throw
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: the name out there, the Rock. Let's just say the
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: Rock right shows up at the end of WrestleMania Night one,
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: right and everybody's gonna cream themselves and everyone, oh my god,
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: the final bass is back, like at this point, like
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: even that can't save this, Like that can't save this.
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: What would that even accomplish? Because there are still some
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: people who and we heard it on commentary tonight where
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: they were kind of alluding to or maybe Nickol was
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: a way bare Wade Bearer made a comment about how
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: there's some sort of like invisible shield around Pat McAfee,
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: like because it was ruled that nobody could put their
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: hands on him tonight, Like where is that coming from?
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: And assuming ari Emanuel is not becoming an on air character,
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: which fuck right off with that? What could that be
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: leading to? Right? So people naturally think the Rock because
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: he's very tight with McAfee, he's on the board, he's
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: got history with Cody storyline wise, it would actually make
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: a lot of sense. I don't see what that even accomplishes.
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: Like that can't even save this at this point because
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: we know he's not going to be around. He's not
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: going to be a focal point of the television show
- 1:43:36Speaker 1: the way that McAfee and Jelly role have been. You know,
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: the guy's got at least two movies coming up to film,
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: including a Martin Scorsese movie. What the fuck do you
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: think he's coming back and actually doing if the Rock
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: shows up? Like, really, just take a second and stop
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: and think about what you're even saying. The people who
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: I still hear the Rock Rock Rock, Like, what do
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: you think that actually looks like? Josh Stockton says, do
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: you think the product would be better with Paul Hayman
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: his head of creative or is WWE a lost cause
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: under TKO? Regardless much love from Newcastle UK, I mean
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: I think Hayman is I mean, he's part of the
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: brain trust there, so I'm sure he contributes ideas. If
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: you watch Unreal, he's in the writer's room. I mean
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: he's contributing. If he was the head of Creative, I
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: think things would in some cases probably be better, and
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: he would have his people that he would want to push.
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: I think Carmelo Hayes would have a WrestleMania match this year,
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: but he would have to answer to the same masters
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: that Levec does like And if TKO is going to
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: medal in Creative, it doesn't matter who's running Creative. It
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: could be Levec, it could be Bruce, it could be
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: Paul Hayman, it could be road Dog, it could be you,
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: it could be me. It doesn't matter. That wouldn't even
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: make a difference that syth after wrestle many of forty
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: two they should move gunther La, Knight, Obafemi and even
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: Punk to SmackDown because the wrestling gods know this show
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: can use them more than Raw. Well, you can't move
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: all of them. You have Royce Keys, they debuted him
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: on SmackDown, Obafemi is on RAW. I would not have
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: them on the same brand. And you can't move all
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: those guys, all the ones from one brand to the other.
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: And who do you move to raw warm corn with
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: a par of super chats jelly roll with Cody? Who's
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: next Apple Fritterman. Pat McAfee looks like a right wing
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: Johnny Bravo. He doesn't have the Johnny Bravo hair. Hey,
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: Pepper Saint, welcome to the channel. You picked a hell
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: of a knight to join. Death Site, says the Cody
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: Randy fud should have been Randy trying to make a
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: hat out of Cody's entrails and terrorizing his family, not
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: having PC Principle as his wingman. Yeah, I mean it's
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: basically Cody Roads against Pat McAfee with Randy Orton in
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: his corner. That's the feud. Now, think of how long
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: we spent watching Pat McAfee in the ring tonight as
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: compared to how long we spent watching Randy Orton on
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: this show. And you're gonna have people defending this and
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: saying this is great, this is great television, This is
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: the way it should be. That's why the product is
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: in the shape that it's in Because people lap this
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: shit up. They're part of the problem. They actually have
- 1:46:50Speaker 1: caused this to some degree. They bear some of the
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: responsibility when we see bullshit like this. Jeremy thunderstrikes Cody
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: and Punk needs chokes lamp. Pat offn Dried Chicken says,
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: here's a new nickname for Pat McAfee. Duke Nukem. He
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: nukes and bombs on the mic. Josh says fen fiend.
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: Fiend involved in the main event of WrestleMania forty one,
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: Pat McAfee involved in the main event of WrestleMania forty two,
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: WrestleMania forty three in Saudi What next? I don't want
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: to know. I'm kind of scared. Frankly, I'm afraid to ask.
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: Can you imagine what that reveal is gonna be? Venom
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: Ktetsu Hope your stresses are tamed and your worries are minimal.
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: I feel like all escapism has turned on me except
- 1:47:55Speaker 1: retro games. Thanks for what you do. If you played
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: retro games tonight instead of watching SmackDown, you made the
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: right choice. Death Site says, imagine if we got CM
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: Punk against Stone Cold and The Rock against either Cody
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: or Roman a wrestle many of forty three. I would
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: not trust Triple h and TKO to projectile vomit or
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: not to on the builds stone Cold against CM Punk.
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: How old would Austin be next year? Sixty one, sixty two?
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: I guess Sting was what sixty four when he had
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: his last match. Yeah, I think the time for Punk
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: and Austin passed about a decade ago. There was a
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: moment in time where it would have made sense to
- 1:48:49Speaker 1: do it twenty thirteen, right somewhere around there, and they
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: didn't do it. We missed out. Promos would have been great,
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: Promos would have been fire. He says, sorry, I meant
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: to say not projectile vam and I swear I haven't
- 1:49:12Speaker 1: been drinking. Well, if you were drinking during this show tonight,
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame you. It might make it more tolerable.
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: Only HOGI guilty letting you continue to watch this direk
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: without giving you something. Thank you for your sacrifice, Salomon, Well,
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: thank you for the five dollars super chat. I appreciate that,
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: only Hogy. Aaron says, those main event ads were great.
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: Less match please, Yes, I agree, I think those main
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: event advertisements were great. I too would like less action.
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: I want less action and more commercials on my wrestling shows. QB.
- 1:49:53Speaker 1: I wonder if Cody now regrets not taking the match
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: with Rains at WrestleMania. Kung Fu Joseph says, Oh god,
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: I hope this doesn't get turned into a TKO against
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: WWE storyline. You mean you're not excited. You're not excited
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: by TKO being incorporated into the story here, Ragnarok EO
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: went from world champion to damsel in distress. Another jelly
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: roll speech, little yachty, terrible ad libs in McAfee, cutting
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: a terrible promo. Yes, welcome to SmackDown, Welcome to SmackDown.
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: He says, A blunt and a gummy couldn't make this
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: good for me. Not be Friday, brother, but this show
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: is poop from an ass and shit from a butt.
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: Thank god for Oba versus Brock. Yes, somehow, despite all
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: of this awful television and awful build for some of
- 1:50:59Speaker 1: these matches, they managed not to fuck up Oba and
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: Brock like that. That has been flawless. What they've done.
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: The one thing they've managed not to fuck up here
- 1:51:12Speaker 1: Chicago for MBK WW and TKO should feel embarrassed. But
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: they won't. No, TKO won't. I mean to them, this
- 1:51:20Speaker 1: is what they wanted. They're getting what they want. Give
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: me backshot Slo Monster ReHO or Rio talk about Riha
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: and EO damaged EO more than it helped her. I
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: just think it went on for too long. Nick Grosso
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: with the nineteen ninety nine First, the EO and Oscar
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: match was up in the air because of an injury
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: to Nikki Bella, and now it's because of time constraints.
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: Which is it. I really think they don't want to
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: do the match and they are looking for an excuse
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: not to. Well, they have seven matches on Night one,
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: and they have six on Night two. But remember they
- 1:52:00Speaker 1: have the Hall of Famers that they trot at on stage.
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: I figure they'll do that on night two. So is
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: that gonna leave time for a match. It's two it's
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: two nights, like there should be plenty of time. But
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: I have a funny feeling that they may end up
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: holding it off until Backlash. That's my fear, not that
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: we have to wait very long. I mean it's like
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: two and a half weeks later, but still, I mean
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: that's if EO and Oscar don't have their match on
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: that show. I mean, that's just you have two fucking nights, dude,
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: you have six matches on night two. You have two nights.
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: You can't find a room for EO Sky versus Oscar
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: on that show, like it's pathetic. It's just pathetic. Hopefully
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: we'll get the announcement of the match on Monday. I'm
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: still holding out hope. Alex says at this point it's
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: more entertaining to watch the commercials and then the actual show.
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: This show is horrid from start to finish. Brandon Proctor
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: with a twelve. That's the learning tree. I went to
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: a local wrestling show tonight. Safe to say it was
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: better than SmackDown. Oh, I'm sure it was. I'm sure
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: it was. I'm sure it didn't offend you. Daniel. The
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: Miz versus Sena had better build than Cody versus Randy.
- 1:53:29Speaker 1: You know what to say, nothing of the match itself,
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: You're probably right, You're probably right. Warm Corn says, you
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: know it sucked when Solo starts with you know, yeah, yeah,
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: Alexander says, Julian not getting a match at Mania is blasphemy. Well,
- 1:54:01Speaker 1: I mean, look, that's what happens when you're not over.
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: She's not over on the show, and so she's not
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: a priority. She was going out there and people were
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: jumping up and down or they were yeating or whatever.
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: I mean, she'd have a role on the show, but
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: she's not, and so she's just not. Even though she
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: has a title, she's not a priority for them. You
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: would hope on the Italy PLA next month that she
- 1:54:27Speaker 1: would at least have a match. I'm not even sure
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: about that retro. Koh, imagine making Randy Orton a background
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: player in his WRESTLEMANIAM main event program. WWE is at
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: early ninety nine WCW levels. I don't know about two thousand,
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: not yet anyway. Oh, it's in that territory, brother, it
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: may not be there yet, but it's definitely hanging around
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: the edge of the territory there. We got the Oofman
- 1:54:54Speaker 1: Punk to announce buy one, get four free on Monday.
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of half expecting them starting on
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: Monday to have like their key guys going out there saying, hey,
- 1:55:06Speaker 1: you buy a ticket between now and tomorrow night. You know,
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: we'll pay you a visit at your house. We'll come
- 1:55:12Speaker 1: hang out and have dinner with you one night. Please,
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: please buy tickets, Please buy one, get six free. They're
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: going to paper the shit out of those shows. It's
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: gonna be WrestleMania eight all over again. They had sixty
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: two thousand people at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis. I
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: think the paid number was like forty seven thousand. So
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: it looked good. It looked full, like if you watch
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: that WrestleMania. But like business in ninety two, at least
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: domestically was not great, so it was kind of shocking
- 1:55:43Speaker 1: to see that many people in the building. But they
- 1:55:45Speaker 1: papered the shit out of that show. I mean, they
- 1:55:49Speaker 1: must have been hot as fuck in the UK that
- 1:55:51Speaker 1: year to get eighty thousand people legit in Wembley Stadium,
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: that's impressive. But those brits men, those UK fans, you
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: guys love your wrestling. The working man, this product is
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: pure torture at this point. To try to watch drizzling
- 1:56:15Speaker 1: Shits is putting it far too nicely. Only match I
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: care about his brock and Obafemi the Sheltered Kid was
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: what you saw tonight, more embarrassing than aw promoting CM
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: Punk and Jack Perry's brawl. I still think that's my
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: favorite show from you. You were funny as fuck. Oh
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: that was that was also pathetic. That was a pure
- 1:56:40Speaker 1: rating stunt. I think he even admitted to it, because
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: they did pop up a bit, like they haven't had
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: a rating that large since that show. I think they
- 1:56:48Speaker 1: did like eight hundred thousand viewers that night or something.
- 1:56:52Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that was that was very embarrassing.
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: But to me, this is worse. This is this is
- 1:56:57Speaker 1: far worse because again, you're going out there and actively
- 1:57:02Speaker 1: telling people how much like you're shitting on your own product,
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: and you're begging people to buy tickets. Like, it doesn't
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: get any it doesn't get any worse than that. It
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: doesn't get any more pathetic than that. Like, pathetic is
- 1:57:16Speaker 1: the first word that came to mind. I'm watching this
- 1:57:18Speaker 1: play out in front of my eyes, I go, this
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: is this is sad on a level I haven't seen before.
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: Death Side says Cody, and Randy is giving me triple
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: H y two J at WrestleMania eighteen vibes. Yeah, it's
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: not a spot you want to be or or a
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: triple H and Randy ort in a WrestleMania twenty five
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: having to go on after that, Shawn Michael's Undertaker match,
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: the working Man twenty five percent Off hardly puts a
- 1:57:51Speaker 1: dent in these prices. Lol. No, it really doesn't. It
- 1:57:57Speaker 1: really doesn't, but I guess that's all that Ram Trucks
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: can Ford death side. Can we please get Cody Drew,
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: Randy and Jacob for the WWE title, A match I
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: had been pitching for months. Instead of Cody and Jelly
- 1:58:12Speaker 1: against Randy and Magnan, dude, we could have gotten that
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: four weight WrestleMania. That could have been the WrestleMania match.
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: Jonathan with the two bucks Rock can't even save the
- 1:58:27Speaker 1: WWE title match? Can he? No? No, he can't. San
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: Juan Wolf with a nineteen ninety nine once again, I
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: miss SmackDown, and based on the reviews, I'm not even
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: mad here is nineteen ninety nine to compensate you for
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: watching that match, I should be compensated by WWA. I
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: feel like what I watched some of these shows, and
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: I feel like I should be compensated for my time
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: that I can never get back anyway. Much love from Florida,
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: Thank you, sending one Wolf. I appreciate that Eric Newton says,
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: watching this garbage makes me realize I never understood how
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: good we had it during the Monday Night Wars. I
- 1:59:16Speaker 1: was more of a WCW guy at the time, but
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: I would switch back and forth and now we get
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: this garbage. It's sad. Yeah, and they go on television
- 1:59:25Speaker 1: and they still glorify it. You literally had Cody Rhodes
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: go out there tonight and basically tell Pat McAfee, dude,
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: you're talking about an era in the Monday Night Wars
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: that's thirty years ago. Randy Orton was a fucking kid
- 1:59:35Speaker 1: in high school. Because that's what he did. Last week.
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: He starts glorifying and glamorizing the Monday Night War era,
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: Austin and Rock and the Attitude era. It still gets
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: talked about to this day. I don't hear people going
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: on television and talking about, oh man, the Bruno era,
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: you know, or the Backland era, or even the Golden Era.
- 1:59:59Speaker 1: They just they always talk about the Monday Night Wars
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: and the Attitude era and how much better it was,
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: and we gotta restore that feeling. We gotta bring wrestling
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: back to the way it was. Why don't you just
- 2:00:11Speaker 1: come right out and tell your fans that your product
- 2:00:14Speaker 1: fucking sucks and you wish you could take it back
- 2:00:16Speaker 1: to the way it was. That's basically what they're saying,
- 2:00:23Speaker 1: Toya ain't nice. I love angry solo, moll, I'm glad
- 2:00:32Speaker 1: someone was entertained tonight, Alexander, even excluding McAfee, the whole
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: Babyface versus Healed dynamic with Cody and Randy's ass backwards.
- 2:00:42Speaker 1: Randy was getting the cheers and Cody was getting booed,
- 2:00:46Speaker 1: and you know what, if that's the way it was
- 2:00:47Speaker 1: gonna be, then that was fine because the fans wanted
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: to see Randy Orton win number fifteen and they were
- 2:00:53Speaker 1: getting fatigued of Cody, and it would have made for
- 2:00:55Speaker 1: a very interesting and it still might, but it would
- 2:00:58Speaker 1: have made for a very interesting dynamic of rest Mania
- 2:01:00Speaker 1: for the actual match, But you still would have had
- 2:01:03Speaker 1: the focus kept on the story, right, But then it
- 2:01:06Speaker 1: got hijacked and now it's not about Cody and Randy anymore,
- 2:01:11Speaker 1: because you know that McAfee's going to be there and
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: Jelly Roll is going to be there, and so now
- 2:01:16Speaker 1: it's just turned into like, Okay, well, when are they
- 2:01:18Speaker 1: going to get involved and what are they going to
- 2:01:19Speaker 1: do and how are they going to factor into the finish.
- 2:01:23Speaker 1: They've ruined it, like they've ruined the whole premise of
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: the match, has been completely corrupted. Now, Alexander, thank you
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: brother again for the four ninety nine. He says, Jeremy
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: does so all this put the truck keys back in
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: the truck. Dude, I wasn't even paying attention to what
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: he did with the keys. I can tell you what
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: they should do with those keys. The oracle would Hulk, Hogan,
- 2:01:56Speaker 1: Stone Cold, Steve, Austin and Rock let this happened to them, honestly,
- 2:02:07Speaker 1: I Rock maybe, I you know Austin as protective as
- 2:02:13Speaker 1: Hogan and Austin were of their creative and their characters. No, No,
- 2:02:20Speaker 1: I think they would pitch a fit. I think for
- 2:02:22Speaker 1: first of all, Hogan would always have creative controls. So
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: the answer is no, it depends what role he's in, though,
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: you know, maybe if he was in the the Orton role,
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: and then Pat McAfee could be to him what Dennis
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: Rodman was at one time. But no, like so much
- 2:02:43Speaker 1: of the bullshit that we've seen here about now, like no,
- 2:02:46Speaker 1: some of these guys that there's no way, there's no
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: way they would have tolerated this shit. Yeah, Austin literally
- 2:02:53Speaker 1: walked out when he didn't like creative Golden Boy. Did
- 2:02:58Speaker 1: you see Damian Priest's interview. A lot of wrestlers were
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: upset with the whole McAfee involvement. I sent you the link.
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: He also said he'll probably get in trouble for saying it.
- 2:03:06Speaker 1: Do you think it's a shoot? I think me personally,
- 2:03:10Speaker 1: I think that they are legitimately upset about what's going on.
- 2:03:13Speaker 1: Those reports I think are one hundred percent true. I
- 2:03:16Speaker 1: think that there are a lot of people in the
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: locker room who are very upset about this. But when
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: you hear these comments being made publicly in interviews, that's
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: where I tend to like, Okay, yeah, they're being told
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: to say some of these things, I think just to
- 2:03:31Speaker 1: make it feel more real. So I did hear those comments.
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: I saw the comments that he made, and yeah, I
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: just the vibe I get is that that was planned
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: that way, But he may feel that way legitimately. Retro
- 2:03:52Speaker 1: says the Awful Wrestlemany A thirty two tug of war
- 2:03:54Speaker 1: between Brock and Roman was a better build than this,
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: and I mentioned that one four Jeremy Rose. They didn't
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: even balance the WrestleMania nights. Sunday is stacked, Saturday is
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: Whack Hot Take Triple Ah won't be booking wrestle Mania
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: of forty three. Now he will. He'll still be here
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: a year from now, he'll still be here. Beyond that,
- 2:04:24Speaker 1: that's a lot. Dice here, Andrew Lima with the nine
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: ninety nine years ago, I brought up that my grandpa
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: died and Raw was still the worst thing that happened
- 2:04:35Speaker 1: to me that week. Dude, I still that was a
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: legendary super chick. I still remember that one. I actually
- 2:04:41Speaker 1: brought that up recently. I don't remember why, but I
- 2:04:44Speaker 1: brought that one up recently. He says, tonight his ghost
- 2:04:49Speaker 1: came to me and told me to stop watching wrestling. Well,
- 2:04:54Speaker 1: I mean, if a grandpa's ghost comes and tells you
- 2:04:56Speaker 1: that SmackDown is so horrendous that you should stop watching,
- 2:04:59Speaker 1: then you have to stop watch it. Don't stop watching me, though,
- 2:05:03Speaker 1: Just stop watching SmackDown, listen to Grandpa and leave it
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: to me. Alexander Tiffy was on the WrestleMania promos and
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: is not on the Plee. Yeah, she has no match
- 2:05:18Speaker 1: a WrestleMania death side. To try to make you feel better,
- 2:05:26Speaker 1: I recommend the Overlord anime. It's really good and my
- 2:05:29Speaker 1: favorite character is Evil. I in fact, I have her
- 2:05:33Speaker 1: on my bed sheets. Well have her on your bed sheets?
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: Or do you have her in your bed sheets? Because
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: that would be pretty cool. Super pony, they never learn
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: and they don't care. No, they don't. Misfit Wrestling Podcast
- 2:05:58Speaker 1: with a ten WWE just posted a video package on
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: Twitter about the tag titles featuring the Bella's indicating Nikki
- 2:06:04Speaker 1: is cleared good. I'm happy for her. Now. We gotta
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: get Io Sky her fucking match with Oscar on night too.
- 2:06:22Speaker 1: Mystic Jay Julian not being a WrestleMania maybe a blessing
- 2:06:25Speaker 1: in disguise. It's bad enough she gets no reaction on SmackDown.
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: I'matching her getting no reaction in media. That's why I
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: said before she's not She has not gotten over, and
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: I don't think she's been helped by her booking and
- 2:06:38Speaker 1: positioning on the show, even though she's got the US title.
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: But the reality is she's not over. She's just not.
- 2:06:49Speaker 1: Death Site says, let me rephrase that my duvet is
- 2:06:52Speaker 1: a picture of evil eye. Sorry, I'm having a bad night.
- 2:06:55Speaker 1: I've got a cold and SmackDown did not make me
- 2:06:57Speaker 1: feel any better. Hey, brother me, you can have whatever
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: bed sheets you want to have. When I was a
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: little kid, I used to have a little Ninja Turtles
- 2:07:10Speaker 1: on my bed sheets. That was the ship back then.
- 2:07:19Speaker 1: Colin says, if there's any reason for WrestleMania to go
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: back to one night, it is definitely this year's event. Yeah,
- 2:07:25Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah yeah, I mean WrestleMania this year. This
- 2:07:29Speaker 1: did not need to be a two night show. I
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: one hundred percent agree Mike with a ten dollars super chat.
- 2:07:42Speaker 1: The fact that Carmelo and Dragonov carried that show pretty
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: much all of twenty twenty five and they're not on
- 2:07:48Speaker 1: the show, but McAfee is makes me want to puke.
- 2:07:52Speaker 1: Dynasty is going to be better than WrestleMania bookt Dynasty
- 2:07:57Speaker 1: on paper is a very strong card and I will
- 2:08:01Speaker 1: be watching it, but I'm not going live for that
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: because it ends too damn late and I got a
- 2:08:07Speaker 1: big week coming up. I'm traveling. I'm not doing it,
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: So just be aware of that. No live Dynasty review
- 2:08:15Speaker 1: on Sunday night. I'm gonna save it for the Uncrowned
- 2:08:17Speaker 1: Wrestling Show on Tuesday. It will be an exclusive. Larry
- 2:08:23Speaker 1: Jester ranked these rors four to one. Now COVID guest
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: host and ninety five. I don't know. COVID is COVID
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: is four. COVID will always be the worst because wrestling
- 2:08:43Speaker 1: in front of nobody is just awful, and I have
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: no interest or desire to go back to me. It
- 2:08:49Speaker 1: has no replay value whatsoever, except maybe like the Boneyard
- 2:08:53Speaker 1: match or some of the cinematic stuff. COVID is automatically
- 2:08:57Speaker 1: number four. But man, the guest host era was it
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: was bad. The guest host era was very bad. But
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: I'm gonna go COVID this era guest host and I'm
- 2:09:14Speaker 1: gonna put ninety five and number one Boots. Thank you
- 2:09:22Speaker 1: for the ten. Hope to see Boots around for our
- 2:09:27Speaker 1: big WrestleMania weekend next week. Doctor Lawrence Jacobi, we got
- 2:09:31Speaker 1: a doctor in the house. Doctor. I'm not feeling good
- 2:09:35Speaker 1: after this show tonight. What should I do? Sas, I'm
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: really hoping for Mania to be a total disaster, hopefully
- 2:09:44Speaker 1: the worst in history. As a casual viewer, these times
- 2:09:47Speaker 1: where everyone is losing their minds over the horrible product
- 2:09:51Speaker 1: are the most fun. Maybe not for my mental health,
- 2:09:54Speaker 1: but yes, I think you're onto something there. Justin with
- 2:10:04Speaker 1: a nine ninety nine. Could you see Oba losing to
- 2:10:06Speaker 1: brocket Mania, but Gunther wins its SummerSlam against Brock and
- 2:10:11Speaker 1: later Oba beats Gunther to gain the momentum from him. Also,
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: who is your early pick for King of the Ring?
- 2:10:18Speaker 1: Do we even know if they're doing King of the
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: Ring this year? I don't even know if they're doing it.
- 2:10:26Speaker 1: I haven't really thought about King of the Ring. Honestly,
- 2:10:28Speaker 1: I don't really have an early pick. I'd have to
- 2:10:30Speaker 1: I'd have to first think about it. I could see
- 2:10:33Speaker 1: Trick Williams potentially, I could see that, but I'd have
- 2:10:39Speaker 1: to give that some thought. As far as your first idea,
- 2:10:42Speaker 1: it's not a bad idea, right, because the question is
- 2:10:45Speaker 1: after all these retirement or with no retirements, but like
- 2:10:50Speaker 1: these final matches that they have gifted to Gunther. Right,
- 2:10:54Speaker 1: we already knew John Cena was retiring, but in his
- 2:10:57Speaker 1: retirement match he loses to guntherro Goldberg loses to Gunther.
- 2:11:00Speaker 1: Aj Styles loses to Gunther. What's the end game here? Right?
- 2:11:04Speaker 1: Who beats Gunther and gets the rub? Oba would be
- 2:11:07Speaker 1: a great candidate. I'd rather Oba beat Brock, But if
- 2:11:12Speaker 1: Brock is winding down, let's say in Minneapolis, they're not
- 2:11:15Speaker 1: gonna want Brock to lose his last two matches. It's
- 2:11:18Speaker 1: not gonna happen. So if he really is wrestling, let's
- 2:11:20Speaker 1: say his last match for now at Summerslim, then I
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: think he's almost definitely beating Oba in WrestleMania, and Oba
- 2:11:29Speaker 1: may not get that win back. Then if Brock then
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: goes on to lose to Gunther and he disappears, at
- 2:11:35Speaker 1: that point, Oba would almost have to beat Gunther. I
- 2:11:38Speaker 1: think he'd be the right guy for it because if
- 2:11:42Speaker 1: not him, then who If he doesn't get the win
- 2:11:47Speaker 1: over Brock, I think he has to beat Gunther. Maybe
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: Oba beats Gunther in the King of the Ring final,
- 2:11:57Speaker 1: dum m. I don't know, because if you win King
- 2:12:04Speaker 1: of the Ring, you get a WWE Championship match, don't
- 2:12:07Speaker 1: you or World Heavyweight title. I guess if he's un raw,
- 2:12:12Speaker 1: so I don't know if they want him challenging for
- 2:12:14Speaker 1: the championship that's soon. Yeah, I think people need to
- 2:12:20Speaker 1: be very much prepared for the likelihood of Brock Lesnar
- 2:12:25Speaker 1: getting the win on ESPN. I wouldn't do it, but
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: I think there's a very real possibility. But we have
- 2:12:35Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen Bimby. Bimb is with us with a
- 2:12:41Speaker 1: fifty dollar super chat. Bimb is our King of the Ring.
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: We just crowned our King of the Ring, King Thimby
- 2:12:53Speaker 1: with a fifty bucks supersticker. Look at this, it's a
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: nice sticker. Thank you, brother EJ. Slamp. I hate Pat McAfee.
- 2:13:05Speaker 1: He's the worst changing gears. I hated Elizabeth in the nWo.
- 2:13:08Speaker 1: With Savage there would Sherry have been a better fit
- 2:13:11Speaker 1: with him. Sherry would have been a great fit in anything.
- 2:13:14Speaker 1: Sherry was fantastic. Yeah. I never really liked Liz in
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: the nWo. Never really made sense to me. I agree, DJ,
- 2:13:25Speaker 1: Greetings from Disneyland, solo, drinking my twelve dollars water, resting
- 2:13:29Speaker 1: my legs and catching up on your stream. Well, don't
- 2:13:33Speaker 1: let this awful SmackDown ruin your Disneyland experience. I'd be
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: a lot happier too if I was a Disneyland right now,
- 2:13:46Speaker 1: the working man. I'd rather relive David Arquette winning the
- 2:13:50Speaker 1: WCW title again over this shit. Be careful what you
- 2:13:54Speaker 1: wish for, Doctor Lawrence Jacoby Tko intervene because the show
- 2:14:04Speaker 1: is shit and making no money. They didn't help, but
- 2:14:08Speaker 1: it was never their job to make good TV. I'm
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: sure they wish they could stay out of it. Fire
- 2:14:13Speaker 1: Triple Oh No, I disagree. No, they're not doing this
- 2:14:17Speaker 1: to try to save the show. They're doing this because
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: they're trying to move more tickets to a show that
- 2:14:23Speaker 1: they thought they would be selling as much as they
- 2:14:25Speaker 1: did last year and they're not, so they're trying to
- 2:14:28Speaker 1: move tickets. And again, Pat McAfee was chosen because Ari
- 2:14:33Speaker 1: Emanuel has ulterior motives involved here beyond just WWE business,
- 2:14:40Speaker 1: and he's trying to kind of like double dip in away. Right.
- 2:14:45Speaker 1: WWE owns it, but he just took Pat McAfee on
- 2:14:50Speaker 1: as a client in the last two months. That's not
- 2:14:51Speaker 1: a coincidence. Says very little to do with them going, boy,
- 2:14:57Speaker 1: you know you got to save w and they are
- 2:15:01Speaker 1: making money. Can't say they're not making money. They are
- 2:15:05Speaker 1: making money, they're just not making as much money. Hey,
- 2:15:11Speaker 1: Bota Bang and Sugar Asian have joined the chat. What
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: a married couple that would be? Yuh, maybe we can
- 2:15:21Speaker 1: get the Miz to marry you too. Apparently the Miz
- 2:15:25Speaker 1: is an ordained minister. Now whatever I think he's doing,
- 2:15:28Speaker 1: marriage ceremonies in Vegas this week. The working Man. I'd
- 2:15:33Speaker 1: rather rewatch Cody as Stardust. At this point, nothing about
- 2:15:36Speaker 1: current Cody is authentic to me. He's so phony. He
- 2:15:39Speaker 1: will make a great senator one day, he will, he will.
- 2:15:46Speaker 1: He does seem like he has a future in politics.
- 2:15:55Speaker 1: If you've heard of the Cody lies, that right there
- 2:15:59Speaker 1: tells you he's a perfect fit for politics. Spartan sprinkles
- 2:16:09Speaker 1: with a five. I enjoy McAfee's humor slash stick. I
- 2:16:15Speaker 1: am the point zero zero one percent who enjoys. This
- 2:16:18Speaker 1: should have been saved for after a Cody winning media though.
- 2:16:21Speaker 1: Randy snaps and brings him pat under no circumstances should
- 2:16:28Speaker 1: this have been done as part of this wrestle media build.
- 2:16:33Speaker 1: Just absolutely awful. The working Man next stallone's a lot
- 2:16:43Speaker 1: of it's a lot of laughing emojis. There gets funnier
- 2:16:47Speaker 1: every time it's broad Oh it's it's the fucking hilarious.
- 2:16:50Speaker 1: It's absolutely I think it was bloomberg when the report
- 2:16:53Speaker 1: initially came out that mentioned that people have been told
- 2:16:57Speaker 1: he sees him as or he's trying to get him
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: to be the next ste It actually is very very funny.
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: I'm watching him out there tonight, I go, oh, this
- 2:17:05Speaker 1: guy's a master thespian. Yeah, because when I see that,
- 2:17:11Speaker 1: that's the first thing I think of is the next
- 2:17:12Speaker 1: Sylvester Stallone. Aaron loves wrestling. Thank God for aw NW,
- 2:17:22Speaker 1: Japan and House of Glory. See, even Aaron, who legitimately
- 2:17:28Speaker 1: has this great love for all wrestling, is not attempting
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: to defend this shit, because even he has his limits
- 2:17:36Speaker 1: and he realizes that this is terrible trash. Thank you, Aaron.
- 2:17:44Speaker 1: Johnny Frances, Considering how desperate they sound for ticket sales,
- 2:17:49Speaker 1: I'm expecting a Craigslist ad for seat fillers and it
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: go fund me by early next week. Tragic stuff. How
- 2:17:58Speaker 1: far they have fallen. Devin from NJ two thousand to
- 2:18:07Speaker 1: Solo agree with JD's guarantee that Triple eight will be
- 2:18:10Speaker 1: out from running Creative within the next eighteen months. I
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: don't know about eighteen months, but I do think that
- 2:18:17Speaker 1: he will be on the hot seat sooner than later.
- 2:18:21Speaker 1: Like a year. Someone said before a year from now,
- 2:18:23Speaker 1: WrestleMania is Saudi. I think he'll still be in that
- 2:18:26Speaker 1: chair two years from now. That's a lot harder to say.
- 2:18:32Speaker 1: I think that his future is tenuous. Long term future
- 2:18:39Speaker 1: is tenuous at best. Super Pony I will always have
- 2:18:44Speaker 1: Sammy's back. People who don't appreciate him, don't like pro wrestling. Dude,
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: he got bland. He got bland. People they don't want bland.
- 2:18:56Speaker 1: That's also part of the reason why they're kind of
- 2:18:58Speaker 1: getting Cody fatigue or they're turning on Cody. You got
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: to know when to change it up. And Cody or
- 2:19:06Speaker 1: Sammy rather didn't really have a great story up until recently.
- 2:19:10Speaker 1: At least now this stuff is kind of interesting, like
- 2:19:12Speaker 1: where are they going to go with it? He was
- 2:19:15Speaker 1: just too bland that he had no real direction, and
- 2:19:18Speaker 1: so I'm not really shocked by people's reaction, like there
- 2:19:23Speaker 1: was nothing to really cheer for. It was kind of boring.
- 2:19:29Speaker 1: And Daniel Bryan wasn't totally wrong years ago when he
- 2:19:32Speaker 1: said the fans are fickle. They are fans are fickle.
- 2:19:39Speaker 1: Mike says, have Oba beat Brock, Trick, beat Sammy and
- 2:19:43Speaker 1: javon winning the Intercontinental title in the ladder match. Let's
- 2:19:46Speaker 1: start the future now, It's fine with me. Let's do it.
- 2:19:52Speaker 1: Let's make it happen. Actually, eh, I hate to end
- 2:19:56Speaker 1: pent his rain though this soon maybe I wouldn't take
- 2:19:59Speaker 1: it off Pent yet. But the other two I'm fine
- 2:20:03Speaker 1: with the other two dead Kirby twenty two. Are they
- 2:20:08Speaker 1: trying to turn Pat into Jimmy Hart. Pat is no
- 2:20:16Speaker 1: Jimmy Hart. He is no Jimmy Hart. He is no
- 2:20:20Speaker 1: Bobby Heaton. Mike says Cardona was the king of the
- 2:20:28Speaker 1: Indies for how many years? Now? He is a jobber
- 2:20:30Speaker 1: again in the WWE. The bro never should have come back, dude.
- 2:20:36Speaker 1: He always wanted to go back to WWE like that
- 2:20:39Speaker 1: was always the goal was to build himself up so
- 2:20:41Speaker 1: he can get back to WWA. He's right where he
- 2:20:44Speaker 1: wants to be. Now. Do I think that he wishes
- 2:20:48Speaker 1: that they were actually pushing him in a meaningful way? Yes,
- 2:20:52Speaker 1: But don't get it twisted like he went back there
- 2:20:55Speaker 1: for a reason because he always wanted to go back there,
- 2:20:59Speaker 1: and he got his wish. He got to go back,
- 2:21:01Speaker 1: and he's using his real name and he works, you know,
- 2:21:04Speaker 1: in the same brand as his wife. I don't know
- 2:21:08Speaker 1: that he's unhappy with that. He knew what he was
- 2:21:12Speaker 1: getting into when he went back. Dead Kirby says, Paul
- 2:21:14Speaker 1: is sabotaging Randy like he did with Sina. So he's
- 2:21:20Speaker 1: just like secretly, I guess not so secretly, sabotaging all
- 2:21:24Speaker 1: of his old rivals one by one. Who's next, Who's left?
- 2:21:31Speaker 1: Who's left on the roster that he would have feuded
- 2:21:33Speaker 1: with back when he was active. Uh, I don't know. Punk.
- 2:21:40Speaker 1: I guess Punk is going to be next. I think
- 2:21:46Speaker 1: Punk better watch out. We got electric feel with a
- 2:21:52Speaker 1: ten dollars super chat. I thought Stephanie was full of
- 2:21:54Speaker 1: shit at first, but she was right. This version of
- 2:21:56Speaker 1: Randy is quote diabolical, so much so he's giving us
- 2:22:01Speaker 1: one plus months of Pat McAfee absolutely diabolical. Yeah, we
- 2:22:07Speaker 1: just didn't know what she meant by that, but I
- 2:22:08Speaker 1: think it's becoming clear by the week. This is pretty diabolical,
- 2:22:17Speaker 1: George with the four ninety nine. Only thing that could
- 2:22:20Speaker 1: salvage this is Sylvester Stallone literally coming out in tko
- 2:22:24Speaker 1: ing Pat McAfee in the middle of the ring pun
- 2:22:27Speaker 1: intended more celebrities? Are you arguing for more celebrities on
- 2:22:31Speaker 1: this show? Now we're gonna go to Wrestlemdia. We're gonna
- 2:22:40Speaker 1: have Lil YACHTI show up in trick Williams corner. We're
- 2:22:44Speaker 1: gonna have I show speed wrestling in the opening match
- 2:22:46Speaker 1: of night one. We're gonna have Pat McAfee and Jelly
- 2:22:49Speaker 1: Roll in the respective corners of Cody Rhoads and Randy
- 2:22:53Speaker 1: ort In to WrestleMania until Sylvester Stallone runs out and
- 2:22:57Speaker 1: he drops Pat McAfee with a TKA in the middle
- 2:23:00Speaker 1: of the ring, only for Tom Brady to then make
- 2:23:04Speaker 1: a special surprise appearance call them cute and then kicked
- 2:23:07Speaker 1: them in the dick and run away. And that is
- 2:23:09Speaker 1: how WrestleMania will go off the air, The working Man,
- 2:23:19Speaker 1: The Bloodbath missing Kevin Nash on Thunder was better than
- 2:23:23Speaker 1: this episode of Smackdow Dude. At least that was entertaining.
- 2:23:26Speaker 1: That was funny as fuck. He's just casually standing there
- 2:23:30Speaker 1: waiting for the bloodbath to come down and then it's
- 2:23:33Speaker 1: missed them by a bouts five or six feet. That
- 2:23:38Speaker 1: was great. George says, why do you think Raw is
- 2:23:41Speaker 1: so much more bearable? Other than the length? I mean,
- 2:23:46Speaker 1: I wish I had a good answer for you. I
- 2:23:47Speaker 1: really don't. It is half an hour shorter, but there's
- 2:23:54Speaker 1: also different writers on the show and different I don't know,
- 2:23:59Speaker 1: just the different vision. No pun intended a different vision
- 2:24:02Speaker 1: that they have for the show. I don't know. It's
- 2:24:06Speaker 1: still the same basic team though, so I'm not sure
- 2:24:11Speaker 1: why that is. Diego Vasquez. Sorry, I rather watch Sabrina
- 2:24:18Speaker 1: Carpenter at Coachella. So what I the working Man says
- 2:24:23Speaker 1: finger Poke of Doom was better than this? May's the
- 2:24:28Speaker 1: great with a five. With how bad these shows have
- 2:24:32Speaker 1: been and will continue to be, I can't help but
- 2:24:34Speaker 1: think that the SmackDown post show review days might be numbered.
- 2:24:39Speaker 1: I mean, they keep up with shows like this. Would
- 2:24:45Speaker 1: you blame me? No? We got a soldier on here.
- 2:24:53Speaker 1: I have to be here because as people fall off
- 2:24:55Speaker 1: of SmackDown, they're gonna want to know what happened. So
- 2:25:00Speaker 1: I need to be here to fill them in on
- 2:25:03Speaker 1: all the details. Silver Tower, what's going on? Silver Tower?
- 2:25:11Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about SmackDown being awful, going
- 2:25:13Speaker 1: to the aw pay per view this weekend with my
- 2:25:15Speaker 1: family looking forward to Well, I hope you enjoy it.
- 2:25:19Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy the show. Let me know how
- 2:25:22Speaker 1: the live experience ends up. Again. I'm not going to
- 2:25:24Speaker 1: be live for it on Sunday night, but I'll be
- 2:25:26Speaker 1: reviewing it. On Tuesday on on Crowned. That'll be the
- 2:25:30Speaker 1: last show we actually no, I'll be the last show
- 2:25:32Speaker 1: that I do before I leave for Vegas on Wednesday.
- 2:25:35Speaker 1: But we are doing Tuesday Night Titans on Tuesday Night
- 2:25:39Speaker 1: and then I fly out the next morning. Golden Boy.
- 2:25:44Speaker 1: So do the people who had tickets get a discount?
- 2:25:49Speaker 1: It's a slap to their face. Oh, they get no discount.
- 2:25:53Speaker 1: Ram Trucks has drawn a line in the sand. You
- 2:25:55Speaker 1: ain't getting no discount. If you already bought your tickets.
- 2:25:58Speaker 1: You could sell your ticket and then buy a new
- 2:25:59Speaker 1: one in the next few days and get twenty five
- 2:26:01Speaker 1: percent off. That's the best you could hope for the workingman.
- 2:26:10Speaker 1: Roman calling Punk old was hilariously dumb, as he's also
- 2:26:15Speaker 1: forty Yay, two forty somethings in the main event? Fuck
- 2:26:19Speaker 1: this Jerusalem, Shit two forty somethings in the main event.
- 2:26:25Speaker 1: Which night are you talking about? I mean that could
- 2:26:29Speaker 1: apply to either night. Jarret Moose Rodriguez random question. I
- 2:26:39Speaker 1: was a child and had just begun watching around the
- 2:26:41Speaker 1: time Punk won the World heavyweight title for the first time.
- 2:26:45Speaker 1: Was the reaction to his og reign? Really that lukewarm
- 2:26:49Speaker 1: overall kinda yeah. I mean I don't remember his his
- 2:26:55Speaker 1: OG run. It didn't last too long, right, It only
- 2:26:58Speaker 1: lasted a three four months, and that would have been
- 2:27:06Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. It was not the same cmpunk
- 2:27:10Speaker 1: that we would see a few years later, So yeah,
- 2:27:14Speaker 1: I mean it was pretty lukewarm. It was nothing overwhelming.
- 2:27:17Speaker 1: I mean, if it was, he would have been champion
- 2:27:19Speaker 1: for longer. So it was not a terribly memorable run.
- 2:27:23Speaker 1: In fact, from what I can remember, I don't even
- 2:27:26Speaker 1: think he got beat for the belt. I think he
- 2:27:28Speaker 1: got taken out in a backstage segment, right, and they
- 2:27:30Speaker 1: put the belt up in that stupid scramble match. I
- 2:27:32Speaker 1: think that Chris Jericho won. Aaron says, would you keep
- 2:27:41Speaker 1: Ethan Page and Ricky Saints as a team on the
- 2:27:43Speaker 1: main roster? And what are your thoughts on the Blake
- 2:27:45Speaker 1: Monroe Vanity Project faction. I think their characters go hand
- 2:27:49Speaker 1: in hand. I think it's probably, you know, probably a
- 2:27:52Speaker 1: good combo, but Blake should be on the main roster.
- 2:27:55Speaker 1: I don't know why she's still hanging around in NXT.
- 2:28:00Speaker 1: I don't get it. As far as Ethan or Ricky,
- 2:28:06Speaker 1: I you know, I wouldn't mind them being a team.
- 2:28:10Speaker 1: I don't think their value is in being a tag team, though,
- 2:28:13Speaker 1: if you want to introduce them that way, I guess
- 2:28:14Speaker 1: that'd be fine, especially if they were part of the
- 2:28:16Speaker 1: same let's say, faction with a couple of other people.
- 2:28:19Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't mind it d quint with a
- 2:28:26Speaker 1: five dollars super check KFA. Wise, why would Gunther go
- 2:28:29Speaker 1: through the trouble of fighting Seth to reach Brock instead
- 2:28:32Speaker 1: of just answering the open challenge first? You're making too
- 2:28:38Speaker 1: much sense now. You can't be asking questions like that
- 2:28:52Speaker 1: we got Deebo Roy. I know, I butchered that one.
- 2:29:03Speaker 1: I think if this bullshit goes on and the crowd
- 2:29:06Speaker 1: reaction understandably continues to remain lukewarm at best, TKO will
- 2:29:10Speaker 1: eventually make Triple H escapegoat and fire him. I wonder
- 2:29:13Speaker 1: who they would replace him with. I mean, there may
- 2:29:18Speaker 1: be somebody on an interim basis from the current team,
- 2:29:21Speaker 1: like a Hayman or a Bruce Pritchard. But I think,
- 2:29:25Speaker 1: and I've talked about this before, you know Rock being
- 2:29:27Speaker 1: on the board and Brian Goertz being his guy. Brian
- 2:29:30Speaker 1: Gortz was the head writer for Monday Night Raw for
- 2:29:32Speaker 1: years and years, and I think if they needed a
- 2:29:35Speaker 1: permanent replacement for Levek, if he was removed or if
- 2:29:39Speaker 1: something happened, would not at all be shocked to see
- 2:29:43Speaker 1: Brian Gowertz in that spot, and then Rock would have
- 2:29:47Speaker 1: his guy. He would have his guy installed as the
- 2:29:50Speaker 1: head of the creative team. Mike says, your opinion of
- 2:29:58Speaker 1: the worst Wrestlemanium of all time? Mine is Uncle Uncle
- 2:30:02Speaker 1: Elmer against Adrian Adonis a WrestleMania two or Brett versus
- 2:30:06Speaker 1: Vince or WrestleMania twenty six. Horrible. Yeah, that was That
- 2:30:11Speaker 1: was just sad. But look, I'm glad Brett got his closure.
- 2:30:16Speaker 1: I guess he got that one more WrestleMania match. But yeah,
- 2:30:18Speaker 1: it was. It was bad. Uncle Elmer against Adrian Adonis.
- 2:30:25Speaker 1: I mean, I could see where you would think that
- 2:30:26Speaker 1: would be the worst WrestleMania match of all time, but uh,
- 2:30:30Speaker 1: there's a lot to choose from, dude. There were a
- 2:30:31Speaker 1: lot of really terrible undercard matches in those early years
- 2:30:34Speaker 1: of WrestleMania, so I don't even remember them all. I
- 2:30:38Speaker 1: think more in terms of the WrestleMania main events. So
- 2:30:41Speaker 1: in terms of WrestleMania main events. I think of John
- 2:30:44Speaker 1: Cena and the Miz. I think of John Cena and
- 2:30:47Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes in terms of just the worst WrestleMania match
- 2:30:52Speaker 1: of all time. I mean Brett and Vince would be
- 2:30:55Speaker 1: up there. You know, there was another match that Brett
- 2:30:59Speaker 1: had and there he heard we were talking about him.
- 2:31:02Speaker 1: He just popped up on screen. That was me, by
- 2:31:05Speaker 1: the way. The guy next to him was me watching
- 2:31:07Speaker 1: SmackDown tonight, a guy in the electric chair. Brett had
- 2:31:14Speaker 1: a horrible match with Bob Backland at WrestleMania eleven. I
- 2:31:20Speaker 1: think Brett has even said it's his worst wrestle media
- 2:31:23Speaker 1: match of all the WrestleMania matches he ever had. Jeremy says,
- 2:31:38Speaker 1: so they are gonna take the hit and announce forty
- 2:31:40Speaker 1: five thousand both nights, or fudge it up and announce
- 2:31:43Speaker 1: higher numbers than last year sixty k in the house
- 2:31:46Speaker 1: both nights. I don't think they're gonna fudge it by
- 2:31:48Speaker 1: that much. They're definitely gonna fudge it, though they'll probably
- 2:31:53Speaker 1: announce in the range of fifty k for both nights.
- 2:31:55Speaker 1: They ain't getting fifty k, they ain't coming close to
- 2:31:59Speaker 1: fifty k, but that doesn't mean they won't announce like
- 2:32:03Speaker 1: I don't know forty eight one night, fifty one the next,
- 2:32:07Speaker 1: that'd be my prediction, plus Ultra Adrian. I only care
- 2:32:11Speaker 1: for three matches at WrestleMania, Oba Brock the latter match
- 2:32:14Speaker 1: and punkin Roman. Thank you for all you do, Solo.
- 2:32:17Speaker 1: Sorry you had to watch SmackDown. I'm sorry too. I'm
- 2:32:22Speaker 1: sorry too, but I got a job to do, damn it.
- 2:32:27Speaker 1: Kung Fu Joseph Buyer, Sell, Baseball Hall of Fame, Bonds
- 2:32:30Speaker 1: or A rod Well. I mean, given the circumstances, I
- 2:32:40Speaker 1: don't think either one belonged in there. But if I
- 2:32:42Speaker 1: had to choose one, it's Barry Bonds, Jeremy Thunderstrikes, Punk Stured,
- 2:32:47Speaker 1: invade Pat's house like Triple H did once. Super Pony.
- 2:32:56Speaker 1: Is this worse than twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one?
- 2:32:59Speaker 1: I think it might be. I don't know if it's worse.
- 2:33:03Speaker 1: It's it's pretty fucking bad, dude. It's bad. It's very bad.
- 2:33:13Speaker 1: It's all just it's all just so terrible. Hydro grad
- 2:33:19Speaker 1: with a tend. The people of New Orleans that were
- 2:33:21Speaker 1: upset about getting screwed out of WrestleMania are probably looking
- 2:33:24Speaker 1: at this build, like, yeah, nah, Vegas can have this
- 2:33:27Speaker 1: shit good. It's what they get for not running New
- 2:33:36Speaker 1: Orleans this year. I'd be more upset because if they
- 2:33:39Speaker 1: were running New Orleans this year, I would be there.
- 2:33:42Speaker 1: I was all ready to go. I was having talks
- 2:33:45Speaker 1: with my friends. All Right, we get the Airbnb, and
- 2:33:49Speaker 1: then they switched it. Mike says, a New York street
- 2:33:55Speaker 1: fight between you and Pat McAfee. Who wins solid monster.
- 2:34:00Speaker 1: We'll see. I don't know where is Pat from. Is
- 2:34:04Speaker 1: Pat's not from New York. Pat's from Indiana, right, See,
- 2:34:10Speaker 1: I'm from New York. I know Pat may be a
- 2:34:14Speaker 1: former punter, but I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
- 2:34:23Speaker 1: Unpopular opinion. Gunther kind of bores me in the ring
- 2:34:26Speaker 1: and on the mic. Just not my cup of tea.
- 2:34:28Speaker 1: I guess, hey, different strokes. It's all good. Carlos Galvaan
- 2:34:37Speaker 1: with the nine ninety nine. I just went to my
- 2:34:39Speaker 1: break at work so I can join the stream and say,
- 2:34:42Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on over at the FED?
- 2:34:45Speaker 1: Copy and paste from last year is insane? Yeah, it's bad, dude,
- 2:34:52Speaker 1: It's bad. Ej Slamp. I'd rather have Jeremy Piven, whose
- 2:34:55Speaker 1: Entourage character was inspired by Ari Emanuel mentioned Summerfest on
- 2:34:59Speaker 1: TA than Pat McAfee. I would rather watch summer Fest
- 2:35:05Speaker 1: than this WrestleMania made event. We got the lore Maestro
- 2:35:12Speaker 1: Hey Solo showing some love. See you on TNT. I
- 2:35:15Speaker 1: will be there. We've been putting up some big numbers,
- 2:35:18Speaker 1: so I will see you there. Venom Caitetsu Live will
- 2:35:22Speaker 1: come visit you. But a Mania if you buy a
- 2:35:25Speaker 1: Mania ticket, well then they would undoubtedly start moving tickets.
- 2:35:31Speaker 1: They would they would be able to hit that sixty
- 2:35:33Speaker 1: k mark if they did that. Mike says, worst WrestleMania
- 2:35:38Speaker 1: booking decision of all time minus triple H pinning booker
- 2:35:41Speaker 1: t Clean at WrestleMania nineteen still makes me mad to
- 2:35:45Speaker 1: this day. Yeah, I mean that's awful, but that's not
- 2:35:48Speaker 1: the worst. I think. I think last year has to
- 2:35:52Speaker 1: be up there. I really do. Like you had one
- 2:35:55Speaker 1: job you have and you only have one chance to
- 2:35:59Speaker 1: set the rec which was number seventeen last year, in
- 2:36:02Speaker 1: the final year of the man who led your company
- 2:36:05Speaker 1: for what ten, twelve, fifteen years? How do you fuck
- 2:36:09Speaker 1: that up? Like it was on a platter, it was
- 2:36:13Speaker 1: handed to you. How do you fuck that up. They
- 2:36:17Speaker 1: fucked up number seventeen last year. It's insane to me.
- 2:36:29Speaker 1: Super Pony wish Ko was here to shit on this
- 2:36:32Speaker 1: like Punk did. Yes, he has missed. He has definitely missed.
- 2:36:37Speaker 1: Toya says, I'm excited for be the booker. Yeah, we
- 2:36:40Speaker 1: got two rounds. We got to get to Jeremy Rose
- 2:36:43Speaker 1: hypothetically off Triple H got removed and Tony offered him
- 2:36:46Speaker 1: a job at AW Would he take it? No, he's
- 2:36:50Speaker 1: not going to go work for Tony Khan. That will
- 2:36:53Speaker 1: never happen. I'll make it a prediction right now that
- 2:36:58Speaker 1: ain't never gonna happen. And Cameron Spencer. Sometimes wrestling can
- 2:37:06Speaker 1: be so bad that it's funny. What was funnier Katie
- 2:37:09Speaker 1: Vick segment or rollin'son Wyatt Helen is Cell. I personally
- 2:37:15Speaker 1: didn't really find the humor in either one of them,
- 2:37:17Speaker 1: to be honest with you, looking back at it, which
- 2:37:21Speaker 1: one was funnier? I mean, I guess I would go
- 2:37:24Speaker 1: for the Helen a Cell just for the reaction, like
- 2:37:30Speaker 1: trying to process that we had that sort of decision
- 2:37:34Speaker 1: rendered in a Hell and a Cell match. But then
- 2:37:36Speaker 1: you kind of look back and you realize, like We've
- 2:37:37Speaker 1: had other hell and of cell matches that had horrendous endings.
- 2:37:40Speaker 1: I vividly recall one involving Roman Reigns and Braunze Stroman
- 2:37:45Speaker 1: where brock Lesner I think broke the door down and
- 2:37:47Speaker 1: ran in and I think laid them out with an
- 2:37:49Speaker 1: F five and apparently they were crippled and they were
- 2:37:51Speaker 1: unable to move and the match was just thrown away.
- 2:37:55Speaker 1: There's been some bad endings to some of those matches,
- 2:38:01Speaker 1: but I did not derive any pleasure from either one
- 2:38:04Speaker 1: of those things. They were both terrible, and Alex says
- 2:38:09Speaker 1: at this point, give me Tozawa versus the Great Kalie
- 2:38:12Speaker 1: in a Punjabi prison match. Over this, well, you'll be
- 2:38:15Speaker 1: happy to know on that note, because we are due
- 2:38:20Speaker 1: for two rounds of be the booker that the Punjabi
- 2:38:23Speaker 1: prison match is an option, we may well book one tonight.
- 2:38:27Speaker 1: You may get your wish. So let's see, let's be
- 2:38:29Speaker 1: the booker. Let's not waste any more time. We got
- 2:38:32Speaker 1: two rounds coming, ladies and gentlemen, it is now time
- 2:38:36Speaker 1: to be the booker. Now you guys killed it on
- 2:38:41Speaker 1: the likes. We are what are we twenty? We were
- 2:38:44Speaker 1: twenty somewhat likes away from a thousand. We might hit
- 2:38:47Speaker 1: one thousand live for a SmackDown review. Let's see if
- 2:38:52Speaker 1: we can hit a thousand here while we're in the
- 2:38:53Speaker 1: middle of doing be the Booker, weren't a thousand likes.
- 2:39:01Speaker 1: Unlike WWE with their men's tag team titles. This year WrestleMania,
- 2:39:06Speaker 1: we're going to book a tag team match. They got
- 2:39:09Speaker 1: all the goal. Look at this, Bubba Ray and Devon.
- 2:39:14Speaker 1: The Dudley Boys, one of the most decorated tag teams
- 2:39:18Speaker 1: of all time. Just ask Bubba, he'll tell you. The
- 2:39:23Speaker 1: Dudley Boys are going to be defending one of those titles.
- 2:39:26Speaker 1: I don't know which ones against the Rockers. The Rockers
- 2:39:33Speaker 1: and there was a demolition of my brain. They're going
- 2:39:37Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame a week from tonight. I'll
- 2:39:42Speaker 1: be coming home from Vegas that night, just in time
- 2:39:44Speaker 1: to tune into the Hall of Fame, which apparently is
- 2:39:47Speaker 1: airing on YouTube and I believe possibly ESPN from what
- 2:39:50Speaker 1: I understand. All right, women's be the Booker. You guys
- 2:39:58Speaker 1: never know what kind of matches we're going to get here.
- 2:40:00Speaker 1: This is always a crapshoot. Charlotte Flair it's been doing
- 2:40:07Speaker 1: the tag team thing, but she's got to be in
- 2:40:10Speaker 1: singles action. Here it'll be Charlotte Flair going one on
- 2:40:12Speaker 1: one with Bianca Belair. Still waiting on that pl match
- 2:40:19Speaker 1: between these two. I think the only time they wrestled
- 2:40:22Speaker 1: was I think, wasn't it on an episode of Raw
- 2:40:25Speaker 1: years ago? I don't think they ever had a proper
- 2:40:28Speaker 1: program together. Well, there's a hell of a match right there, dude.
- 2:40:36Speaker 1: We're on a roll so far. Charlotte and Bianca and
- 2:40:42Speaker 1: the Rockers and the Dudley Boys. Diamond Dallas Page DDP
- 2:40:52Speaker 1: is in the main event of round number one DDP
- 2:41:04Speaker 1: against La Knight. Yeah, there you go. All right. See now,
- 2:41:13Speaker 1: if they won't put him in the main event, I
- 2:41:15Speaker 1: will there go DDP and l A Night. Bang yeah, bang, yeah,
- 2:41:21Speaker 1: it's right, that's right, all right. So now round number
- 2:41:30Speaker 1: two is going to include stipulations. This is where the
- 2:41:35Speaker 1: Punjabi prison could very well come into play. I hope not.
- 2:41:41Speaker 1: I like this Big Blue cage. Now. I know it
- 2:41:45Speaker 1: sucks for these guys because apparently that cage hurt like hell,
- 2:41:48Speaker 1: But this is the cage I grew up on. I
- 2:41:50Speaker 1: love Big Blue. I love me a big Blue cage match.
- 2:41:55Speaker 1: So we're gonna have a big blue tag team cage
- 2:41:58Speaker 1: match because we're gonna start with the tag teams. Be
- 2:42:04Speaker 1: nice to have back to back sweeps. We have top
- 2:42:09Speaker 1: flight Darius and Dante Martin in the big Blue Cage.
- 2:42:16Speaker 1: We'll do drum rolls for all these How about that
- 2:42:19Speaker 1: top flight against the two dudes with attitude, Diesel and
- 2:42:28Speaker 1: Shawn Michaels in the Big Blue Cage. I think I
- 2:42:35Speaker 1: know who's going over this match, and it ain't top flight,
- 2:42:42Speaker 1: but actually, you know, Dante Martin In there with young
- 2:42:46Speaker 1: Shawn Michaels, mid ninety Shawn Michaels. That could be a
- 2:42:50Speaker 1: lot of fun. And then at the end of all
- 2:42:53Speaker 1: of a Diesel can just power bomb the shit out
- 2:42:55Speaker 1: of him. I like it all right now our second match, yeah,
- 2:43:05Speaker 1: we know exactly who's going over in that match. We
- 2:43:09Speaker 1: go from a big blue cage to a barbed wire
- 2:43:13Speaker 1: steel cage. A lot of cages tonight, so unfortunately this
- 2:43:24Speaker 1: falls on the ladies to have a barbed wire steel
- 2:43:28Speaker 1: cage match. So someone's getting cut up. Willow at Nightingale,
- 2:43:35Speaker 1: she could throw down. We've seen Willow that Willow and
- 2:43:38Speaker 1: the Statlander at all out. A few years ago, they
- 2:43:40Speaker 1: had that street fight Willow Nightingale inside the barbed wire cage.
- 2:43:50Speaker 1: Feeling very cagey tonight. Oh, Bliss fan at gonna like this.
- 2:43:55Speaker 1: This is not gonna end well for Alexa Bliss, but
- 2:44:00Speaker 1: I gotta give it the bell Alexa Bliss and Willow Nightingale.
- 2:44:05Speaker 1: Poor Alexa, though she's gonna be all scarred up by
- 2:44:09Speaker 1: the time this match is over. Well, Bliss fan like
- 2:44:12Speaker 1: Alexa anymore? If she's all scarred up and she's not
- 2:44:15Speaker 1: so pretty anymore, he may move on to someone else.
- 2:44:23Speaker 1: And our main event. Hey, Paul Carpenter, thank you for
- 2:44:26Speaker 1: thirty six months, CEA says, thirty six more membership. Let's
- 2:44:29Speaker 1: fucking go. That's right, Okay, here we go main event time. Yeah,
- 2:44:37Speaker 1: this again. Someone's losing an eye? Eye for an eye?
- 2:44:43Speaker 1: Is that our main event? Here? And beat the booker?
- 2:44:47Speaker 1: It is I for an eye, Ladies and gentlemen. It
- 2:44:49Speaker 1: all comes down to this. We have Androte Eldolo, who
- 2:44:56Speaker 1: will be wrestling Darby Allen on Sunday Night at Dynasty.
- 2:45:04Speaker 1: Will the lady still love him if he has an
- 2:45:06Speaker 1: eyepatch on? Though? Andrade against Bandido how about this. Holy
- 2:45:16Speaker 1: shit said, look at this. We just had this match
- 2:45:21Speaker 1: at Revolution. We're getting it again. See. I think this
- 2:45:25Speaker 1: is gonna work out really well though for Bandido because
- 2:45:27Speaker 1: he's got the mask on. How are you gonna pluck
- 2:45:29Speaker 1: the eye out of the mask? Doesn't really work? Andrade
- 2:45:35Speaker 1: against Bandida. Now you tell me that the cards I
- 2:45:38Speaker 1: just booked for you here, that these wouldn't be shows
- 2:45:41Speaker 1: that you would you would pay TKO ticket prices to
- 2:45:44Speaker 1: CD shows. Fuck WrestleMania. WrestleMania just came tonight. A double
- 2:45:51Speaker 1: kill went six for six tonight. It's the power of
- 2:45:55Speaker 1: all of you guys, all your support tonight. You powered
- 2:45:58Speaker 1: me through. I love it. We're not done. We got
- 2:46:04Speaker 1: a few more messages here, get them on in. Actually
- 2:46:06Speaker 1: did we I believe we did. We smashed a thousand
- 2:46:10Speaker 1: likes and super Pony Alberto Dell dipshit or Pat McAfee.
- 2:46:18Speaker 1: Pat McAfee, never Alberto del dipshit. Not when he's going
- 2:46:26Speaker 1: around allegedly smacking women around. He could go fuck off.
- 2:46:34Speaker 1: Take Pat McAfee over him any day. Just not. In
- 2:46:38Speaker 1: the main event of WrestleMania, Duffsvid's Hall of Fame is
- 2:46:44Speaker 1: booked better than WrestleMania can't wait. It's a strong class.
- 2:46:49Speaker 1: I mean just for AJ Demolition and SIT alone, it's
- 2:46:53Speaker 1: a strong class this year. Question is who do they
- 2:46:57Speaker 1: main event with? Who main events the Hall of Fame,
- 2:47:00Speaker 1: AJ Styles or Stephanie McMahon. I don't know. I don't know.
- 2:47:06Speaker 1: I think it's I think one is going to open
- 2:47:11Speaker 1: and one is going to close. So if I had
- 2:47:14Speaker 1: to venture a guess, I'm gonna say Stephanie opens and
- 2:47:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna say they close with AJ. If I had
- 2:47:21Speaker 1: to make a prediction. Uh and Recinson fifty three months
- 2:47:28Speaker 1: of Channel membership. Thoughts on the Mets so far, hot
- 2:47:36Speaker 1: and cold. I mean there's things to like, things to
- 2:47:39Speaker 1: not like. You know, Boba Schetts. I mean, we'll see
- 2:47:43Speaker 1: where things go with him as we get a little
- 2:47:44Speaker 1: bit deeper into the season. I think the pitching buy
- 2:47:48Speaker 1: and large has been good. I mean again, there's things
- 2:47:51Speaker 1: to like, there's things to not like. It's just you know,
- 2:47:56Speaker 1: we'll we'll see in h we'll see month where they are.
- 2:48:05Speaker 1: And Larry Jester Eye for an eye solo Soca versus
- 2:48:08Speaker 1: Eric Rowan equals erk or skoa get it. He removed
- 2:48:15Speaker 1: the eye from their names. That's a terrible joke. And
- 2:48:19Speaker 1: Mike says, when are we ever gonna get Batista in
- 2:48:22Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame When he's available. I think it
- 2:48:25Speaker 1: just comes down to his schedule and his availability. But
- 2:48:30Speaker 1: it will happen. It will happen with him. It'll be
- 2:48:33Speaker 1: the same thing with Rock and Sina. You know, it's
- 2:48:35Speaker 1: gonna come down to their availability more than anything else.
- 2:48:37Speaker 1: And then as far as like Jericho and Big Show,
- 2:48:40Speaker 1: that just comes down to when they are no longer
- 2:48:42Speaker 1: under contract to the other company, because as long as
- 2:48:45Speaker 1: they are, they ain't going nowhere. So there's still some
- 2:48:49Speaker 1: big names out there that are a name. My god,
- 2:48:53Speaker 1: she's getting angry. You know why because she has no
- 2:48:55Speaker 1: WrestleMania match yet. That's why she's so angry. That's well,
- 2:49:04Speaker 1: now with a fifteen dollars super chat late to the party.
- 2:49:08Speaker 1: But here's my weekly solo. Love Hope you had a
- 2:49:10Speaker 1: good stream. Brother had to be better than SmackDown. Oh,
- 2:49:13Speaker 1: it was very cathartic. Batista is a headliner and it
- 2:49:25Speaker 1: will be huge. Yeah. I mean when he when he
- 2:49:28Speaker 1: goes in, he should he should be the headliner. I
- 2:49:30Speaker 1: can't imagine that they or who they would put in
- 2:49:33Speaker 1: the same class. I mean, look, unless he goes in
- 2:49:35Speaker 1: in the same class with Sena, any class that Sena
- 2:49:39Speaker 1: goes in, he's the headliner. You know. Same thing with
- 2:49:42Speaker 1: rock we got Sam Riza solo, buy er Cell, bring
- 2:49:51Speaker 1: Dustin Rhodes back as seven and Sean Waltman as six six'. Seven,
- 2:50:00Speaker 1: Ah i'm going to. Sell i'm going to, sell and
- 2:50:05Speaker 1: That joe guy with a five dollars Super chet. Solo
- 2:50:08Speaker 1: did you happen to See demolitions tag team entrance in
- 2:50:11Speaker 1: TWO k twenty? SIX i? Did and do my ears deceive?
- 2:50:16Speaker 1: Me or did they lay down a cover of their theme?
