  it up for the month, you know, when you when you said to
• 2:47
  me, I was like, oh, I get why he wants this,
• 2:52
  you know, I didn't know what it was until I clicked it. I
• 2:53
  was like, okay, I understand for the month. Let's let's do it
• 2:57
  right. And I click on it and it started, and I thought,
• 3:02
  okay, maybe this is just the first like ten seconds. Maybe there's gonna
• 3:06
  be some lyrics and more lyrics and now leaning forward and like an admnute,
• 3:10
  Now there's gonna be some more lyrics, And I'm just like, what what's
• 3:17
  that from before? Yep? See before? Exactly classic? All right,
• 3:23
  fucking classic, let's get let's get him in here. We're coming down,
• 3:49
  We come out on the table, turn it on down when we come about
• 3:58
  to shut down Doyle. Oh it's me, It's me, It's the Doyle
• 4:06
  And right off the bat, I got a recommendation for you, fel It's
• 4:11
  uh Big E produced a and lens his voice too, a animated short cartoon.
• 4:17
  It's called Bridges. It is on YouTube as of today. It is
• 4:21
  fantastic. I highly highly highly recommend it. Take twelve minutes out of your
• 4:29
  day and check that out. It's great. Yeah, I saw you posted
• 4:32
  in the discord. I'm definitely gonna check that out. Yeah, that sounds
• 4:36
  you know what. They like any kind of voice work wrestlers do on their
• 4:42
  If they get the opportunity to do any kind of voice work, I'm always
• 4:45
  up for it. Like you know what, It's such a stupid movie,
• 4:47
  but I thought it was funny. Do you ever see Surfs Up Too?
• 4:51
  Do you know Vince mcman is in that? What Vince? No? Seriously
• 4:57
  watch Surfs Up Too? Like the second one and Vince is in it,
• 5:00
  The Undertaker is in it, Michael Cole is in it. John Cena is
• 5:04
  in it, and they all play like these these animated characters. Can they
• 5:10
  do a Scooby Doo cartoon. Also, I think so yes, like a
• 5:14
  WrestleMania related Scooby Doo thing. But they've had some weird cartoon stuff. There
• 5:17
  was Camp Wwe right, Oh yeah, I like that though. That was
• 5:24
  funny as hell. Yeah. Well this this, this cartoon a biggies has
• 5:29
  absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with progress. Okay, it's still excellent. Yeah.
• 5:39
  Surfs Up to Wave Mania came out twenty sixteen. Also had it that
• 5:47
  the movie with the penguins. Yeah, dude, the penguins that surf I
• 5:53
  don't know why I was thinking surf Ninjas. Oh dude, I was just
• 5:57
  I was like, wait, they made a surf ninja? Is that much
• 5:59
  that much? Damn? Later, wasn't that a Chris Farley movie Surfing Ninjas?
• 6:02
  No, that was Beverly Hills Ninja. Now we're now we're going down
• 6:08
  a rabbit hole. Surf Up. You ever see movies American Ninja? Yeah,
• 6:19
  that was one of That was an eighties movie, right, one of
• 6:21
  those eighties martial arts flicks. There's like four or five of them. So,
• 6:27
  guys, the other day, I'm at work, and I mean I'm
• 6:30
  in one of the warehouses and uh, I hear about an aisle over for
• 6:36
  me, I hear, uh, some typical what it sounds like commentary for
• 6:44
  a wrestling match, and I immediately was like, I recognize those voices.
• 6:47
  That's Michael Cole. And I popped my head around the corner and there was
• 6:53
  a guy on his phone watching the wrestling cliffs and I just go so,
• 6:56
  I see you're into wrestling. And we started chatting and he's he likes the
• 7:02
  Attitude Era. That's that's where he watched it. And I think that's kind
• 7:06
  of where he fell off. I know a lot of people like that who
• 7:10
  were like, oh, yeah, I love the Attitude Era. If they
• 7:13
  would ever bring that back, I'd come back and watch. But I haven't
• 7:15
  watched since. I think we all kind of know at least one person like
• 7:19
  that. We call them casuals, Yes, yes, and they're always like,
• 7:25
  well, you know, if the Rocket Stone Cold would come back full
• 7:28
  time, I'd come back as a fan, like okay, right, Like
• 7:32
  they're in their fifties, like you understand right. I mean it's understandable because
• 7:40
  the Attitude Era was also the Monday Night Wars era, so that was kind
• 7:45
  of wrestlings. I don't want to say peak giving what you know, what
• 7:49
  the product is nowadays, but for a lot of people, that was the
• 7:53
  peak of wrestling at that time. Especially Monday nights were dominated by wrestling.
• 8:00
  You either watching Nitro or you're watching Raw so and it Stone Cold and the
• 8:03
  Rock and guys like that and staying in others had that crossover appeal, so
• 8:09
  that where they brought in people who normally would not watch wrestling got sucked into
• 8:13
  the product. And then obviously once things change up, those people who just
• 8:18
  were kind of in it because they were riding the wave just fell off.
• 8:20
  Yea. Also, like it's starting to like really like sink in, Like
• 8:26
  the rumble is over, so the wheels are in motion for WrestleMania, and
• 8:31
  I'm like looking at the calendar of like how close everything's coming, and I'm
• 8:35
  getting excited and I'm finding out like there's more and more people that I know
• 8:39
  that are going to be there, and it's gonna be cool because like I'm
• 8:43
  pretty sure like one of the days, it's probably the first day, we're
• 8:46
  all gonna be wearing PCW shirts and it'll be very easy for all of us
• 8:52
  to find each other. Uh. And then like it's like, oh,
• 8:54
  man with wrestling shirts that were like Night two. But I know or fact,
• 9:00
  at some point during the show, I gotta get around seeing everybody,
• 9:03
  I mean the whole like maybe like a slow women's match or something. You
• 9:07
  know, I'll be out there just uh in the park. You're stay here,
• 9:13
  you stay here, step you take me to them, take me to
• 9:18
  take me to him. Come on, go go go go go go,
• 9:20
  come go, go, go go go. We're a ton of my pitch.
• 9:24
  Where is it? What? God? What? That's gonna just me
• 9:31
  tracking all of you guys down. Where's the son of a bitch for the
• 9:33
  PCW shirt? That's me tracking out Carlos. Where is he? Where's do
• 9:37
  we have jackets? Jackets available in the uh? Like, I don't think
• 9:43
  a T shirt is gonna be sufficient. I know I'm gonna have to find
• 9:46
  like a separate website to get like specifically just hoodies because I'm dropping money on
• 9:52
  a definitely, you know, I'm not looking for like a denim jacket or
• 9:56
  like a bowling jacket, like like when a Homer was in the bowling team.
• 10:01
  There's there's a chance it's gonna be eighty degrees, but there's equally a
• 10:05
  chance it's gonna be degrees. Yeah, I mean I don't even know,
• 10:11
  dude, because like honestly, we're seeing like fifty degree weather here like next
• 10:15
  week, like in Pennsylvania, and you know, I'm only like an hour
• 10:18
  away from where this is gonna be shot. Like, I mean, the
• 10:20
  weather here is so weird, like we already had like a massive snow and
• 10:24
  then now it's like it feels like spring already, Like it feels like we're
• 10:28
  going through all the weather climbates. So like, honestly, like you know,
• 10:31
  peeps who are listening, who are coming for for WrestleMania, I would
• 10:35
  just say, be prepared for it to be cold, but also have something
• 10:39
  that you're willing to like shed layers off of. Don't don't don't come in
• 10:43
  like a onesie, you know, don't don't come in like like a big
• 10:48
  puffy jacket, like you don't you don't want that, you want like a
• 10:52
  hoodie. And you know, I'm pretty sure we're gonna have most of it's
• 10:56
  gonna be drinking. We'll stay warm that way. I'm I I feel like
• 11:01
  I will lose my voice whether it's night one. I mean, these guys
• 11:05
  doing on commentary all the time and we saw that rumble. I mean,
• 11:09
  I could. I feel like I'm easily gonna lose my voice easily. Oh
• 11:16
  wait, let's I have questions for the episode. I have multiple questions,
• 11:20
  and I will ask those we'll say towards the end of the Yeah, we'll
• 11:24
  do it after the rumble. But for now, we're going to break into
• 11:28
  news and I'm gonna play this cool news bumper. Oh here we go.
• 11:46
  Well, I got news for you, Doyle. Uh, I would like
• 11:56
  you to deliver this crazy news. I just can't. I just can't do
• 12:01
  it. I just can't fathom and put this fucking story together because I just
• 12:05
  can't believe that it's real, you know, So go for it. Well,
• 12:09
  I mean it shouldn't be a big surprise, but yeah, I mean.
• 12:13
  The big news, of course, is Vince has resigned once again,
• 12:18
  this time because a woman and former employee is suing him because of an NDA
• 12:26
  agreement she had entered into him to which he did not fulfill his end of
• 12:31
  the I believe it was for three million. He only gave her one million.
• 12:35
  So suffice to say, first things first, Vince is fucking gross,
• 12:39
  Johnny Aces gross, Brocus gross, you know, like I said, it
• 12:45
  shouldn't really be a big surprise to anybody, you know. In June of
• 12:48
  twenty twenty, the Wall Street Journal reported that the board of w W was
• 12:54
  investigating a secret three million dollar payment into a paralegal that Vince apparently had entered
• 12:58
  into a sexual relationship with. Well, that turns out that that's this woman,
• 13:03
  Janelle Grant, who's filing this lawsuit currently. So a month later,
• 13:09
  the Wall Street Journal reports that there's twelve million dollars worth of payments to four
• 13:13
  different women. And it was then that Vince left for the first time.
• 13:18
  But even that was nothing new, because in nineteen ninety two, extra referee
• 13:22
  Riada Chatterton accused Vince of raping her. In two thousand and six, of
• 13:28
  Florida Tanning salon employee said that Vince attempted to rape her. And that's not
• 13:33
  even accounting for all the shady shit that Vince has done, both on camera
• 13:37
  and off, you know, between covering up a murder committed by one of
• 13:41
  his Wrestlersyle, Yeah, use that bumper, the one we just messed earlier.
• 13:48
  Oh sure, I'm how to play the pumper anyway? Come on,
• 13:52
  you right, missed? Okay? Yeah, right, I mean the way
• 13:56
  he's booked women on his own program and often involving himself, you know,
• 14:01
  forcing his employees to literally kiss his ass on national television. You know.
• 14:05
  So there's no chance in hell they did there that an endeavor didn't know about
• 14:09
  this, Slim Jim didn't know about this, that the Rock didn't know about
• 14:13
  this, and maybe most importantly, the Triple H didn't know about this,
• 14:16
  and fucking shame on Triple H. You know, does he really expect us
• 14:22
  to believe that he had no idea about any of this? I guess he
• 14:24
  doesn't read the Wall Street Journal, you know, does he really expect to
• 14:28
  believe he hasn't read the complaint? Fuck you, Hunter? You're serious?
• 14:33
  Like you know? And could he he could still give a non answer answer
• 14:37
  at the press conference, you know, without insulting our intelligence. He could
• 14:41
  have said something like, uh, I don't know. I can't comment on
• 14:45
  an ongoing investigation, but we take this very seriously and we will deal with
• 14:50
  it appropriately when the investigation is concluded. See that was pretty easy. You
• 14:54
  know, maybe Hunter didn't know Vince was pimping this woman out to brock Lesnow,
• 15:00
  maybe he didn't know Vince took a ship on her head. You know,
• 15:03
  maybe he didn't know the details. But don't you dare try to sell
• 15:07
  us that you didn't know anything. You know, shame on triple h and
• 15:11
  but tomorrow a phrase from Paul Haveman, I think we might only be in
• 15:16
  the second inning of all of this. You know, I guess to Endeavors
• 15:20
  credit Ari Emmanuel's credit, although it's minus saying that his daughter works at WWE,
• 15:26
  so I imagine he has maybe a little more personal stake in it.
• 15:31
  I do believe they'll get to the bottom of it, you know. I
• 15:33
  think they'll find out who else was involved, who else knew about it,
• 15:35
  who didn't say anything? You know, how deep it goes. You know,
• 15:39
  we've seen we've seen Ronda Rousey say that Bruce Pritchard was being compliant in
• 15:46
  all this. I hope not. I really like Bruce, but you know
• 15:48
  what, if he is, he's got to go. You know. He
• 15:52
  makes me wonder about Kevin Dunn resigning a couple of weeks ago. I mean,
• 15:56
  did that have anything to do with this? You know, Vince and
• 15:58
  Shame have had a falling out, you know, going back years, and
• 16:03
  I wonder what you know, does that have anything to do with this?
• 16:08
  So, you know, I think I expect a lot more to come out.
• 16:12
  I think this is just a typical Iceberg. You know, there's still
• 16:15
  we still have this four this twelve million dollars to four other women. So
• 16:18
  what's going on with them? I wonder the latest news as far as I
• 16:23
  understand it, as the Laurenis is uh claiming that he's a victim of Vince
• 16:29
  McMahon. Also Vince made me do all this stuff. Uh, so we
• 16:33
  see when that goes. And it's also my understanding that this woman, Grant's
• 16:37
  lawyer is getting more than a few uh ex employees coming forward and saying,
• 16:44
  oh, I have a story. I have a story. I have a
• 16:45
  story. So I think this is much much, much bigger than then we
• 16:52
  then we know about so far. But if there's any positive to be gleaned
• 16:57
  to this is that another rich white asshole got brought down by his own hubrius.
• 17:02
  You know, because not only did he think he'd get away with it,
• 17:04
  and he did, in fact get away with it for years and years,
• 17:07
  but he thought he could sell his company, go down a wall street,
• 17:10
  ring a bell and smile and make the media rounds and that nobody was
• 17:14
  gonna find out about this, Like when when deals for a a bazillion dollars
• 17:18
  go through every fucking rock, every stone, every t every eye, everything
• 17:23
  is check check checked. What a fucking piece of shit? Am I?
• 17:30
  Right? I mean, like here's the thing. It's like he I could
• 17:37
  kind of see a lot of this shit with Vince, right, especially when
• 17:41
  you look at a lot of the storylines he's done, like you say,
• 17:44
  like to kiss my ass club and stuff like it all like starts to make
• 17:47
  sense, like he's the actual gimmick that he portrays, Like this is this
• 17:52
  fucking sick individual, right, I mean, I'm glad that he's gone and
• 17:59
  stuff, and now they're gonna basically be giving him like the ben Wat treatment.
• 18:03
  And it seems like they're they might be doing the same with Brock,
• 18:07
  Like he showed me somebody I think it was you posted like a picture of
• 18:10
  like the Rumble past winners and like how Vince's blocked that blow uh you know,
• 18:15
  out of it Bronck is and and Crispin Wall Like how many more people
• 18:22
  do we have to lose to the ah But it's so crazy to believe,
• 18:27
  like brons tied into this too, you know, And then like how does
• 18:30
  Sable feel about this? And like and and John Lornidas and I was talking
• 18:36
  off air like how fucking awkward is those like Thanksgiving dinner's gonna be with the
• 18:38
  Bellatwins and Dane O'Brien and you know, it's like, so I heard you
• 18:45
  take part in some weird shit people, Uh this is crazy, you know.
• 18:52
  Uh, I don't know with Triple H, like how much you know
• 18:56
  he really knew? And I kind of guess with the press conference, it's
• 19:00
  like it was better safe than to say nothing at all, didn't even bull
• 19:04
  yeah shit that your boss and and father in law has said and you don't
• 19:11
  read it. But you know what I'm also thinking too, is I bet
• 19:15
  there was a moment where here it's just like, you know, like I
• 19:18
  don't want to be any part of this. Like he's like I I didn't
• 19:22
  have any part of it, and I don't want any part of it.
• 19:25
  Like he's kind of Triples is in a good place right now, right and
• 19:27
  it's like getting tied into that would suck, That would just ruin it for
• 19:33
  him, That would just ruin his career. A thing, getting tied in
• 19:37
  this, like you know it, Vince is gone, and you know he's
• 19:41
  gone. Like a lot of people were worried about the Netflix deal about oh,
• 19:45
  like they might try to pull out now after all this, It's like
• 19:48
  no, it's like Vince is gone, Like the problem's gone. There's no
• 19:53
  reason to pull out because of something like this. You know that's a big
• 19:59
  fucking money deal. Yeah, it does hurt it. But I wonder if
• 20:02
  Stephanie comes back now, Yeah, that's that's another thing I was wondering,
• 20:06
  is like the only person like right now, it's it's weird. This is
• 20:10
  the first time we've had no McMahon in the company, you know, running
• 20:15
  the company that's going back to Capital Wrestling Jesse. Yeah, man, and
• 20:19
  like it's gonna be so weird, Like now we know for sure that Vince's
• 20:26
  hands aren't in anything anymore, and like we're gonna see how the company progresses
• 20:32
  and changes, uh, through and through dre Like what are you what are
• 20:37
  you feeling in all this? Man? It's some crazy ship like no pun
• 20:41
  intended, but like just some crazy ship. Well I would say that one.
• 20:53
  Well, even though these are still technically allegations and that we are dealing
• 20:59
  with a civil lawsuit. I think anybody who has followed Vince's actions and is
• 21:10
  aware of things that have come out in the past and what that man's history
• 21:14
  is, I don't think anybody looks at those allegations and think that they are
• 21:19
  completely out of the realm of possibility for someone like Vince McMahon, you know,
• 21:26
  like the even as wild as some of the allegations are that are in
• 21:32
  that in the in the suit, you would think like would be beyond for
• 21:37
  a normal person. But somebody like Vince, especially a guy who has pretty
• 21:42
  much spent the majority of his adult life in his professional career sitting at the
• 21:49
  top of a company virtually unchecked for the entire time. That level of narcissism
• 21:59
  and that level of unchecked power can yield some pretty wild ship, as we've
• 22:07
  seen in the in this lawsuit, and now that now that this is I
• 22:17
  think what what kind of is surprising to me is the fact that TKO still
• 22:22
  went through with the deal with all of this stuff, Like did they they
• 22:29
  had to know about it? They had, I think to what extent I
• 22:33
  think they knew some stuff, But I think that part of it was them
• 22:37
  being willfully ignorant of things, and also possibly being lied to as to what
• 22:47
  extent this stuff where, like how deep this ship actually went with events like
• 22:53
  I'm pretty sure they didn't know. Oh he had some cases and he probably
• 22:56
  told them like, these are these things, they're taken care of, there
• 23:00
  have been resolved. They're not that bad, and they may have to their
• 23:04
  to their fault. Take maybe taking him at his word that these were minor
• 23:08
  issues, these were gonna be resolved. Maybe him getting those things resolved,
• 23:15
  taking care of or the whole NBA stuff maybe was part of it, like
• 23:21
  I'm gonna get these things taken care of. Don't worry, they won't become
• 23:22
  an issue. They'll go away. And they were like okay, And then
• 23:26
  he did enough to make them go away, just to make deal go through,
• 23:30
  and then Finns, being the narcissist that he is, Oh, it's
• 23:34
  gone through. We're all good. I've done my part. We're good,
• 23:40
  and then just drops it and then lo and behold them them checks stopped coming
• 23:45
  and Shorty's like, oh, oh you think you don't have to pay me
• 23:48
  no more? Okay, I'm about to flip all this shit over. Yeah,
• 23:52
  and boom, here we come, with this lawsuit. I mean,
• 23:56
  there's nothing more that can be said about Vincea hasn't already been said in terms
• 24:00
  of how completely repugnant he is as a person. And yeah, his career
• 24:06
  is completely over with, but he's still a fucking billionaire who's you know,
• 24:11
  we'll have to deal with public shame from his multi million dollar compound and Connecticut
• 24:21
  wherever he stays at for the rest of his life, which is always the
• 24:29
  fucked up part about when extremely wealthy people fall from grace and scandals and stuff
• 24:37
  like this. It's like, Okay, the world don't fuck with you no
• 24:41
  more. You gotta go away now. It ain't like you lose everything and
• 24:45
  you end up a bum on the streets. Like no, you get to
• 24:48
  go live in your mansions for the rest of your life and just be out
• 24:51
  of the spotlight and basically be rich and unbothered. That's your punishment. Yeah,
• 24:56
  yeah, I mean that's kind of the fucked up part of it.
• 25:00
  Now, as far as the internals and within WW and how this is gonna
• 25:04
  go from there and what's gonna happen, I mean, that's gonna play out
• 25:07
  over time. That's gonna play out over months, maybe even a year from
• 25:15
  now or years plural as far as what we'll see, because I imagine what
• 25:18
  they're doing now if t Ko's anything, is probably doing something internal and seeing
• 25:26
  you know now that this should been blown up, trying to keep it from
• 25:29
  getting any worse, or trying to prevent anything new from coming out, or
• 25:33
  try to get ahead of it. Like last thing they need to do is
• 25:38
  for this suit to go you know, unresolved, or for it to be
• 25:45
  reach some point where information starts to become public, and then we hear about
• 25:52
  other people who may still be with the company or other you know, noteworthy
• 25:56
  people and find out they had some and Vince's shenanigans, and we find out
• 26:02
  that you know, it wasn't just brock Lessner, it was you know,
• 26:06
  wrestler so and so, or wrestler so and so or executive so and so
• 26:10
  who's still with the company. This has the potential to be one of those
• 26:14
  things that just never goes away, like a fire that you think is put
• 26:18
  out, but you didn't fully put it out, and all of a sudden
• 26:19
  it flares right back up all over again. So if TKO is smart,
• 26:25
  they would be going to every single person and basically pulling them in the office
• 26:30
  and mean, like, motherfucker, you better tell me the one hundred percent
• 26:33
  truth about every question I'm about to ask you, and making sure that they
• 26:37
  have all their teas crossed, their eyes dotted, and anybody who needs to
• 26:44
  go get ahead of it, get them out now, because again, the
• 26:48
  last thing you want is or you know, three months from now or something,
• 26:53
  something comes out and we find out that, oh, Triple H was
• 26:57
  involved in YadA YadA, or you know, Bruce Pritchard was involved in such
• 27:03
  and such, or you know whoever. I know, it seems like every
• 27:07
  day or some top stars, some name comes out because then, like I
• 27:11
  said, this is just gonna blow up all over again, and it could
• 27:14
  end up really fucking bad, and you know, for the sake of the
• 27:18
  w W, for the sake of their product, I hope it's just limited
• 27:22
  to mostly vents and maybe a few executives who are no longer with the company,
• 27:27
  in that it does go away and that ww can move forward because the
• 27:30
  product itself is in one of the best places that it's been in a long
• 27:34
  time. The image of WWE, generally speaking, is the best that it's
• 27:41
  been in a long time. And it would be kind of unfortunate if all
• 27:47
  that gets tainted, because yeah, it'd be a shame if all that got
• 27:52
  tainted because you know, people still were trying to cover their own asses and
• 27:57
  still trying to still trying to hide stuff. How about It's like it seems
• 28:03
  like every day it's getting worse with with him, because like I mean,
• 28:08
  I think it was just like it's like what twenty four hours not even twenty
• 28:12
  four hours before like like slim Jim even took effect and like you know,
• 28:18
  dropping you know, ww real quick before the rumble, and then you know,
• 28:23
  then he resigned and then Slim Jim signed back up and then like I
• 28:27
  saw pictures of like brock Lessner in court and like now we're hearing things from
• 28:33
  John Lauren, I's lawyer, and it's like it's only been a week,
• 28:36
  and it's like there's so much shit happening every day. That's what I said.
• 28:41
  I yeah, because people, people are in people are in cya mode.
• 28:45
  Yeah. Yeah, look at the Bellotswins of all people trying to put
• 28:48
  out a statement about something I wouldn't have done nothing, y'all. Like one
• 28:55
  of the guys implicated in some of this stuff is y'all's daddy in law.
• 29:00
  Yeah, I could have just kept that whole tweet to yourself. I would
• 29:03
  if I would have if I had to tweet one thing, I would have
• 29:06
  tweeted stepfather, like emphasize on the step part. Yeah, just don't tweet
• 29:12
  anything or just say you know, or if you got to say anything,
• 29:17
  say something generic. I support victims, I staying with the victims something or
• 29:22
  something of that nature. But don't sit there and be like, we're shocked
• 29:23
  and appalled at these things and this is a tough time Like that, ain't
• 29:29
  it, Because it doesn't come off as that's what I mean. Like,
• 29:33
  I think that's another reason why I like at that press conference, like they
• 29:38
  like Triple didn't bring up anything because he just it's like, yeah, we're
• 29:41
  trying to focus on this and not anything negative. He could have said nothing,
• 29:47
  yeah, so much more. Yeah, there's a way to not stare
• 29:51
  at the camera but still acknowledge it. It seemed like he was just trying
• 29:55
  to complete intelligence. Yeah, that was the issue I had with his answers,
• 29:59
  Like he tried to just like completely not acknowledge it the big elephant in
• 30:04
  the room, like and there's no way he could not have known that this
• 30:07
  was coming. I give them credit for not pre screening questions because I don't
• 30:11
  think anybody would be surprised if oh they had right, I don't think anybody
• 30:15
  would have been surprised had not a single question been asked me to find out
• 30:18
  that oh ww was pre screening questions and it told them all, don't bring
• 30:22
  up the best thing, YadA YadA. So I give him credit for at
• 30:25
  least allowing the questions to be asked. But if you're going to do that,
• 30:30
  you should be prepared with some sort of answer other than I'm choosing to
• 30:33
  focus on the positive. Yeah, he sounded like Mark mcgouire up there.
• 30:37
  Yeah, it's come out from I guess from Sean ross Saffle Fightful select that
• 30:45
  apparently he asked he spoke with Sean Michaels about things, and he put out
• 30:49
  a couple of tweets that I'll read real quick, but one tweet says that
• 30:59
  on behalf of that, John Alba, on behalf of Fightful asks Shawn Michaels
• 31:03
  if he had conversations with talent or staff about allegations in the lawsuit Gordon and
• 31:08
  Philly. Shawn Michael says that everyone is clearly aware of it. The situation
• 31:14
  sucks, but they take it very seriously and are aware that NXT is full
• 31:18
  of impressionable talent. He says that NXT urges talent to be honest with them
• 31:22
  if they need help or if someone tries to take advantage of them. He
• 31:26
  says he thinks, coming off the rumble that a lot of talent are excited
• 31:29
  for the future despite the situation going on. From that, continue used to
• 31:37
  say, I asked Sean Michaels about protections in place for talent in NXT that
• 31:41
  could be impressionable or vulnerable. He said, wwe can always do better,
• 31:45
  and the information in the lawsuit is unfortunate. He says that there are some
• 31:48
  protections in place, but they will always try to do better in NXT,
• 31:52
  and it's something very important to him. Now, why the fuck couldn't Triple
• 31:57
  a just says something like that. Yeah. Maybe. Now, granted,
• 32:01
  maybe Triple Ah has way more lawyers in his ear given that he is in
• 32:06
  a CEO position, He's obviously a very much far higher ranking executive than Sean
• 32:12
  Michaels' is, So maybe Sean Michaels has a little bit more freedom to speak
• 32:15
  freely than someone like Triple Ah does. I get that. If that's the
• 32:19
  case, so be it. But da could lawyers also have a way of
• 32:24
  prepping you with something as opposed to just saying don't say nothing or just he
• 32:30
  could have given something more than just. I choose to pope to focus on
• 32:34
  the positive without still, I don't know, potentially implicating him more ww or
• 32:39
  saying something like I feel like that answer was just kind of to me.
• 32:45
  It freaked up being unprepared, as he would say, he lacked testicular for
• 32:50
  the tune. Yeah, Like, I don't think anybody expecting him to go
• 32:52
  out there and just spill all the tea or to take some bold stance against
• 32:57
  his you know, his father of law in law or anything of that nature.
• 33:00
  I didn't expect him to walk out there and be like, fuck Vince,
• 33:04
  we don't ever want to hear from him again, and he ain't coming
• 33:06
  to our kids Christmas or not. Like nobody expected that, but we expected
• 33:10
  something more than I'm choosing to focus on the positives right now. It's like,
• 33:16
  come on, you knew this was coming. You could have been more
• 33:19
  prepared, right well, I guess that. I was just like so excited
• 33:27
  to do the episode, but just because like it's like this is big news
• 33:30
  and it's like every day something new is dropping. I mean, if anything,
• 33:36
  we'll probably do another news dump episode because I'm sure like it's going to
• 33:40
  get bat shit crazy or in the next few weeks here, So I just
• 33:47
  want to continue talking about it then at that point. But yeah, I'm
• 33:52
  in some ye know, I'm imagine if anything new significant comes out about it,
• 33:55
  obviously will continue to talk about it. But for now, I guess
• 33:59
  we can all collectively say fuck Vince. Yeah, yeah, go away,
• 34:05
  And you know, I really all this stuff is completely true. It turns
• 34:09
  out to be actutely true that he did, which again, given that man's
• 34:15
  history, there's no reason to doubt it. Yeah then yeah, fuck him
• 34:19
  and he can rock lea. But like, yeah, now Brocks tied into
• 34:23
  this, and now we're seeing the effect that like an active, an active
• 34:29
  wrestler on the roster who's he like, who is pinned for certain matches is
• 34:34
  now they're having to reshuffle a bunch of shit on the card because of it.
• 34:38
  But we'll talk about that then, And uh, I guess injury wise,
• 34:44
  we'll get to that too, like we'll get say that fuck fuck.
• 34:50
  So okay, we're gonna wrap up this segment here. Let's you guys have
• 34:53
  anything else you want to add? I do not nothing, dog no.
• 35:01
  I mean. The only other thing that I think we didn't mention that I
• 35:06
  would question, excuse me, I go to dre syndrome would be uh there
• 35:12
  when Vince resigned the first time, a couple of executives, a couple of
• 35:15
  board members also resigned and part of his forcing his way back and was bringing
• 35:21
  two of them with him, and them those are the first people I would
• 35:24
  be interviewing, uh, because what's up with that? You know? But
• 35:30
  I mean I think Triple H can definitely count on being questioned about this again.
• 35:36
  I hope better answer next time. Yeah. Yeah, if more stuff
• 35:39
  comes out, then yeah, people are gonna be right back at them at
• 35:43
  the next pay per view or the next PLA your press conference. But like,
• 35:45
  so still want to focus on the positive. Are you ready to talk
• 35:50
  about some of this ship? Right? All right, Well, let's wrap
• 35:58
  the segment up and get to the Royal rumble. And I guess I got
• 36:04
  a bumper to uh for us to segue for this here we go. But
• 36:08
  let me tell you this, I am no pervert. For today's top story,
• 36:22
  the boy r D mankind. I'm w w webs invaded New York.
• 36:25
  Please be on the look up. His intentions are unknown. And when I
• 36:30
  say he never goes anywhere without a chef BOYRD overstuffed beat Ravioli, and his
• 36:35
  call is unmistakable. Beat me, let's nest. The hearty goodness of Chef
• 36:40
  boy r D definitely beats the lea. It's the perfect Ravioli. We're all
• 36:45
  mankind, all right, all right, I guess uh, let's talk about
• 36:55
  the Royal Rumble man. What a you know what, though, we had
• 37:00
  four matches on this entire card, And as I was watching this and realizing
• 37:07
  like the time frame for a lot of these matches, I was like,
• 37:10
  well they filled it pretty quickly, so Dre, you know what, I'll
• 37:17
  just like, let you take it from here, man, Yeah, yeah,
• 37:23
  yeah. World Rubble twenty twenty four took place from Saint Petersburg, Florida
• 37:29
  the Tropic Cana Field with an attendance of forty eight thousand people and forty four
• 37:35
  extras. Like yeah, like you said, Wayne, this was for as
• 37:42
  long as it was showing was to only have four matches, the two the
• 37:49
  Mini Wins World Rumble matches, the United States Championship match between Kevin Owens and
• 37:54
  Logan Paul, and the fatal four away match for the undisputed Universal w W
• 38:04
  Intercontinental International Intergalactic Transdimensional Championship whatever the hell they're calling that ship. Yeah,
• 38:14
  yeah, of Middle Earth. They managed to somehow stretch them for them four
• 38:19
  matches out to a four hour p l E, which I guess kudos to
• 38:25
  them for that. But who that motherfucker dragged at some points? Say you?
• 38:32
  Obviously the Royal Rumble kicked off with the Women's Royal Rumble match, and
• 38:43
  the first two that we saw come out were in fact, I forgot who
• 38:49
  the number one was. Number one was Italia. That's remember about it.
• 38:57
  Yeah, are you will be easily forgettable because I remember that. I cracked
• 39:00
  about it. When she came out. I was like, oh, yep,
• 39:04
  makes sense to go ahead and getting to tell you out the way because
• 39:06
  everybody know damn well, she ain't winning shit, so let's just gonna get
• 39:08
  her out the way. Now. It's gonna gostance and make it to the
• 39:12
  final four, right right, right, and then with the number two entrant,
• 39:19
  we got our first uh big pop of the night with the return of
• 39:23
  Naomi, which I was I love the fact that she got such a warm
• 39:30
  reception from the WWE universe and that the audience really welcomed her back. You
• 39:34
  could see, you can see in her face that you know, it really
• 39:37
  hit her excuse me, really hit her an emotional spot. And yeah,
• 39:42
  I loved it because given the way they exited, and I don't I have
• 39:46
  not forgotten how people talked about them at the time when they walked out on
• 39:52
  WWE. It was not all positive. Most of it was not positive at
• 39:57
  all, and yet a lot of people people so they came right soon she
• 40:00
  came back, seemed to have forgotten all about that, which I'm happy for
• 40:04
  because she deserves it. Not mean I helped grudges, God damn it.
• 40:08
  I remember you left us, you walked out on us. You and Sasha,
• 40:13
  you took me who said that should be one or two so she could
• 40:15
  do our entrance. Yo, that was a great idea, like uh,
• 40:21
  you know, having a return returning star, you know, with such a
• 40:24
  great entrance to like being a number two entrant, like that's awesome. And
• 40:30
  uh you know, you know, I'm just gonna step in real quick.
• 40:34
  Here is to say, like she went the distance, like time wise,
• 40:36
  she went very long, and you know that's great for for somebody making a
• 40:40
  return like that. You know, I always think having uh, the first
• 40:45
  like three or four people who come out who you know, I always think
• 40:52
  one of those people should like go the distance of the match, you know.
• 40:54
  And she was in there for like an hour and two minutes, like,
• 40:58
  oh yeah, she had you had a good, strong run, which
• 41:00
  is good for her returning. Like you know, it shows that they could
• 41:06
  weren't just going for the quick, cheap pop of oh this person's back,
• 41:09
  all right, and I get out of the way so we can move on
• 41:12
  to what we want to do. Like they let her have a strong enough
• 41:14
  showing to you know, easily re establish her with the audience that re established
• 41:17
  her as a as a viable competitor on the women's rosters. Yea, yeah,
• 41:22
  I mean that's great now. But the record, these records mean nothing
• 41:25
  if we're constantly breaking them. Also, you know, like last year we
• 41:30
  got we got the you know length most time in the Rumble and number two
• 41:35
  in Live and then we got number one and number two again this year,
• 41:37
  Like is somebody gonna go for an hour fifteen next? You know, like
• 41:42
  where does it end? Where it ends ends when we have a competitor answered
• 41:50
  number one at the women's rumble, win that and then come back in and
• 41:54
  stay out there in the number one in the men's Rumble, and when that
• 41:58
  one's new. Am Yeah, the belts. Everybody's got to have a record,
• 42:07
  right if if you can't win a title, you gotta get a record
• 42:09
  of some kind. Uh, you know, it's like a trophy for everyone,
• 42:14
  it is. It is kind of ridiculous, Doyle. It's you know,
• 42:16
  to me, there was only like the certain important ones, like you
• 42:22
  know, the longest time wasn't really a big deal to me. You know,
• 42:27
  I think, uh, this year, putting the the time on the
• 42:31
  side though, like they put the little clock on the side, showed how
• 42:35
  long some of these people were in. That was kind of cool. I
• 42:37
  did like that. I like that too, But you know, before it's
• 42:42
  just it never mattered to me, like how long certain people were in.
• 42:45
  Like you know, at one point, I remember the rumble that Raymond Stereo
• 42:51
  one. It's like, oh, he's been in the mass for for sixty
• 42:53
  mideats and I was like, yeah, okay, I'm like, but he's
• 43:00
  probably like laying down for like thirty of those sixty minutes, Like you know
• 43:04
  what I mean, like pay for all sixty minutes? Yeah, yeah,
• 43:07
  you know what I mean. Like it's like I saw him laying down a
• 43:10
  lot, or like you'll have like a wrestler who's you know, been in
• 43:15
  this master for so long, but like, yeah, didn't they roll out
• 43:16
  under the ropes and disappear for like twenty minutes Like I've seen that too.
• 43:22
  Like No, those kind of things don't matter to me. You know what
• 43:24
  I did, like though, it is eliminations, like who got like because
• 43:29
  remember like when Kine held like for the longest time the he had like eleven
• 43:32
  eliminations. He held that record for like so long, but you know it
• 43:37
  was this weird like he a guy who had so many eliminations just never ever
• 43:40
  won the Rumble. Uh you know, then every couple of years they would
• 43:45
  just up it with another guy. It was Bronze Strowman, I think had
• 43:50
  like a bunch of eliminations. One year, I think he broke Kane's record,
• 43:55
  but I guess consecutive wins and like, you know, that's another record.
• 44:00
  I guess I could care about is he's like when stone Cold want him
• 44:04
  back to back and now we have somebody else who want him back to back.
• 44:08
  Yeah, but the back to back thing, he'sn't even that big of
• 44:12
  a deal. The only thing that Stone Cold could really stake his claim on
• 44:15
  is that he's the only three time winner. Yes, as far as back
• 44:17
  to backs, you know, there were a couple that have happened. I
• 44:21
  mean, Hogan was the back to back before stone Cold. Stone Cold has
• 44:23
  been back to back and then now yeah yeah, yeah, so yeah,
• 44:31
  continue on, uh nail me so yeah, yeah, Like I said,
• 44:35
  nail me obviously got her good, Uh got the warm reception. Then,
• 44:39
  of course at number three we found out why Bailey looked so sad when she
• 44:45
  pulled her number on smack Down the night before, because she was number three.
• 44:49
  It had to come out there. Yeah, and I'm so sure they
• 44:52
  weren't gonna do somebody being in there for over an hour again, I was
• 44:57
  like, damn, I guess who're all wrong about Bai Yeah. Yeah,
• 45:02
  But you know, on the subject of that, you could argue that it's
• 45:05
  a bit of the pendulum swinging the opposite way, because there was a street
• 45:09
  for a while where the person would come in at number thirty and win the
• 45:15
  rumble, and you know, people never really responded well to that, like
• 45:20
  oh, the glass guy comes in and just cleans up a couple of people
• 45:23
  and he wins the rumbles, you know year like Cody did last year.
• 45:29
  Lester's done it before, Sena's done it. So you know, if I
• 45:32
  got to choose my winner, I'd much rather have my winner from somewhere early
• 45:37
  or the middle of the rumble more Bailey. I want the record clear on
• 45:40
  that. Oh yes, absolutely, I think to Like looking at the booking
• 45:45
  of the entrance numbers, you know, it makes me think like, okay,
• 45:50
  they put Nailmi and Bailey in there for a long like over an hour.
• 45:55
  It makes me think, okay, they chose two really good veterans,
• 46:00
  veterans who could be in there to help carry some of the younger talent that's
• 46:04
  in the rumble. We littered later with just you know, other talent,
• 46:08
  just other Yeah, you know, if you if you want, if you
• 46:10
  pay attention, Bailey took about twelve people's finishers, Like when when people entered
• 46:19
  and went on their little entrance rampage. Bailey was always one of the people.
• 46:23
  Yeah, you know, it's taking it for for the you know,
• 46:29
  for the team. Yeah, for the team. I guess you could say
• 46:31
  she also had like seven eliminations, like more than anybody, like, you
• 46:37
  know, not nobody else came close to what Bailey did in this rumble.
• 46:42
  But yeah, and then and then I was gonna say, then, you
• 46:49
  know, we're gonna kind of bog down here, and then you know,
• 46:52
  it's kind of like a roller coaster ride of entrance, but you go for
• 46:55
  it. So yeah, then I'm see. The next noteworthy entrant we saw
• 47:02
  was at number five when we got the TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordan Gracie entering
• 47:10
  at number five. Now, obviously this isn't unprecedented. We saw Mickey James
• 47:15
  come in when she was the Knockouts champion was it last year or year before
• 47:21
  last, So this isn't unprecedented. But it's still nice to see WWE reaching
• 47:25
  outside of the company and bringing other stars in and having them, you know,
• 47:30
  be able to participate and get some shine on a larger platform. I
• 47:35
  think, to me, what was most noteworthy about it is how long she
• 47:40
  lasted in the rumble because not only did she just come in for a brief
• 47:45
  and you know, get the nice pop and then all right, we're done
• 47:46
  with you bybe No, she showed in, She got in there, showed
• 47:51
  out, got to really shine, look great in there, and lasted for
• 47:55
  a good length of time in the rumble. She had a arkable showing,
• 48:00
  which again I think is deserved, and one shows respect to her as a
• 48:07
  world champion. You know, it's it would be kind of shitty if you
• 48:10
  had somebody come in as the world champion of another corps, of another company,
• 48:16
  but you basically just jobbed them out and like, yeah, well she
• 48:21
  looked good, but you know how many eliminations she had. Yeah, yeah,
• 48:29
  they managed to make her look great without her really going over anybody,
• 48:35
  which is a good ballance, which I think was a good ballans and I'm
• 48:37
  pretty sure it was probably something that was negotiating a deal, like they probably
• 48:43
  went back and forth like does she get to eliminated nobody anybody? No,
• 48:45
  we're not going to let her eliminate anybody, but we'll let her be in
• 48:47
  the match for you know, forty five minutes or something. She was.
• 48:52
  I hope we get more of this of crossover promotions like this. You know,
• 48:57
  WW is always one to know we're not we're not gonna d that,
• 49:01
  We're not going to go through the quote unquote forbidden door. Yeah, I
• 49:07
  mean I really love the idea. Yeah, I mean, like any wrestler
• 49:12
  could show a big name like that, you know, and like it shows
• 49:17
  how sought after a chance at the w WE Championship is a different outside company
• 49:24
  want to get in on it. You know, I'd rather see somebody from
• 49:28
  TNA or Mexico or Japan or whatever that you know, the Boogeyman or Pat
• 49:32
  McAfee. Yeah, you know, somebody from from somebody who's like a rising
• 49:37
  star in the ND scene or something like that, or like you said,
• 49:40
  yeah, somebody from international, somebody from Japan or something like that coming over
• 49:45
  and being a part of the Rumble. Yeah, shows how prestigious it is.
• 49:50
  Yeah, it elevates the Rumble and then obviously gives them other people a
• 49:53
  chance to shign because it's like like you said, everybody from around the world
• 49:58
  is coming in for this event. It can only make the Rumble seem more
• 50:00
  special and for something that's been going on for over thirty years now, you
• 50:07
  know, Yeah, it's still something that holds everybody's interest. But I think
• 50:12
  we've said it before, it could use a bit of a shot of the
• 50:15
  arm or something that kind of helps spice it up. And yeah, that
• 50:17
  bringing international stars or people outside of WWE into it is one way to do
• 50:23
  that. Yeah, obviously they can't go too far with it because they need
• 50:27
  to shine and you know, showcase their own roster as well. But I'd
• 50:30
  be okay with like, you know, twenty five participants from WWE and the
• 50:36
  other five b from outside the WWE each year. Yeah, I mean,
• 50:39
  like, how do you tweak something a gimmick match has been the same roughly
• 50:45
  for thirty plus years. I mean when we add the women's rumble, that
• 50:49
  was basically it, like, so this is this is the way that they
• 50:54
  found to tweak this, and it before they didn't afford man rumble once it
• 51:00
  was too fucking long, too long. When we had the when we had
• 51:05
  Mickey James come before with her title, it was nice, like nice start
• 51:10
  to this because we were already familiar with Mickey James as been a former employee
• 51:15
  of the company. So having somebody like this who I was like, oh,
• 51:19
  who's this, and you know, even my girlfriend was the same,
• 51:22
  like, we don't know who this girl is, so and seeing her,
• 51:25
  you know, spar with like Bianca bel Air and then even like, gosh,
• 51:30
  she took that nasty elimination from bel Air. That was awesome. That
• 51:35
  was awesome. But like I was like, okay, like maybe we'll see
• 51:37
  her come back and do a match. Maybe, you know, we'll see
• 51:43
  one of our stars go to Impact Wrestling for go back to TNA for a
• 51:47
  match. That'd be cool too, you know, go ahead, you can
• 51:52
  take it for the night. We don't need her, so yeah, I
• 51:58
  mean, if it's somebody like yeah or on the card, that's sure.
• 52:01
  But I think I've seen a lot of people, yeah, clamoring for a
• 52:05
  Bianca Bellair Jordan Grace match, which to me, I get. I think
• 52:13
  the only winners in that would be the fans. I really don't know how
• 52:20
  much that would benefit either WWE or TNA, because I don't know if it
• 52:25
  looks good for TNA for them to send their wrestler to WWE to basically get
• 52:30
  smoked by the WWE star, and I don't and WWE's damn sure not gonna
• 52:37
  let somebody else come in and beat one of their stars, like they're not
• 52:43
  gonna bring Jordan Gracy in and let her beat Bianca bell Air in a match.
• 52:47
  And I don't know if it does any good to have Jordan Gracie come
• 52:51
  in there and lose to Bianca. I mean it, I guess it'd be
• 52:55
  okay for cross promotional if it was like a non title match, I guess
• 53:00
  you could get by with it. Some people were talking about how making the
• 53:02
  match for the title like that makes zero sense at all, because what the
• 53:07
  hell sense doesn't make for Bianca to win a TNA title NWWE and you again,
• 53:15
  you're not gonna have her come in defending a TNA title at AWWE event
• 53:21
  and beating one of WWE's top stars. That makes zero sense. So I
• 53:25
  mean, if you did it as a cross promotional exhibition, then I could
• 53:29
  see I guess it being okay and it being cool, especially for WrestleMania,
• 53:35
  and given that Bianca doesn't appear to have any other program going at this moment
• 53:38
  unless she unless they're planning something with somebody else. But I think that's about
• 53:45
  as the best I could see as far as any kind of cross promotion thing
• 53:51
  like that. And if you did it that way. I'm pretty sure TNA
• 53:54
  would probably want something on their end too, Like, Okay, we're sitting
• 53:59
  our person to help out your WrestleMania pay per view, then send somebody down
• 54:06
  here for us. Well, I mean, you get you do have a
• 54:08
  lot of people on the roster with with some you know, deep t NA
• 54:13
  ties you know in Vegas started there or was there for a while any rate.
• 54:17
  And on the men's side you got a j lastly Drew. Uh yeah,
• 54:22
  but I'm pretty sure they're gonna want somebody of some of a of a
• 54:24
  certain caliber, which I'm I'm thinking if it would be just on the women's
• 54:30
  side obviously. Yeah, on the men's side, yeah, you let Jordan
• 54:35
  Gracie beat somebody and uh, you know a j says all lose to whoever
• 54:39
  you know something. I'm sure that's how it would work. Hey Doyle,
• 54:45
  did you see uh the excessive amount of hair extensions, Holy crab the Red
• 54:52
  side, like their hands full of grabbing all the fake hair and eyelashes,
• 54:58
  and it was ridiculous. Gosh, who comes out next? JH. Well
• 55:05
  only the next noteworthy entrance were Oscar and Bianca bell Layer. Oscar came in
• 55:09
  at what was at number seven. Bianca be Lair came in at number ten,
• 55:16
  so they were most noteworthy. So I I's gonna say somewhere around here,
• 55:22
  Cole says, we've never had two winners. Yes, we have ninety
• 55:28
  four Brett Hart and Lex Little right, really and cold had a bad night,
• 55:35
  he said. A couple of weird things, yeah, some and some
• 55:37
  filler wrestlers we had between that, We had Indy Hartwell, Ivy Nile and
• 55:42
  Katana Chance. We had some fun spots though. She had two women corner
• 55:49
  and climbed the turnbuckle, was punching both of them and like a like a
• 55:53
  lion salt kind of move springboard on the three wrestlers. That was pretty cool.
• 56:00
  She had good spots. She only had one elimination and that was Jordan
• 56:04
  Grace, but she uh one, oh yeah, it was the hell Yeah.
• 56:09
  She was in there for like forty seven minutes on the outside on the
• 56:13
  apron. But like with Bianca and there she told a story and we're kind
• 56:19
  of like we saw a staredown between her and teena women's champion that was there.
• 56:24
  We got some vibes there and then we see later on her and another
• 56:29
  wrestler surprise entrant. I mean they have a moment. I mean, you
• 56:34
  know, she did, she was she was given, she made she made
• 56:38
  good with it. Yeah, she made most of her time in the Rumble
• 56:42
  and you know, came out didn't come off looking we she came out looking
• 56:45
  as a strong, viable contender that she should be. And just to rewind
• 56:49
  back a little bit, one of my other favorite moments that I liked from
• 56:52
  earlier in the Rumble was when Jordan Gracie came out and her and Naomi embraced
• 56:59
  in the ring and they immediately got the fighting. Oh, that was another
• 57:02
  moment that I loved. Obviously. The last match was with George Bracy where
• 57:07
  she dropped the TNA title tour. So it was nice to seeing them to
• 57:10
  like see each other have a genuine embrace and then immediately like pick up where
• 57:15
  they left off and started fighting. Yeah, I forgot about that, and
• 57:20
  you know, well, I mean I'm sure you guys caught it too.
• 57:23
  While they got Oscar coming out and Kyrie saying, uh, it didn't look
• 57:30
  like Bailey was too happy to have him out there, like the plan was.
• 57:35
  Yeah, they didn't explain commentary. They noted it, but didn't say
• 57:37
  yeah, but look, so we could kind of Bailey the way with her
• 57:43
  facial expressions is that we kind of tell the story like, hey, like
• 57:47
  you guys weren't supposed to come out. That wasn't the plan, Like it
• 57:50
  was supposed to be just me, and then it's like, okay, well
• 57:52
  we'll try to work together. And then it seems like, you know,
• 57:58
  they eliminate. H. I don't really eliminate. I will say though,
• 58:05
  if that was the story, that makes no sense. Yeh, because again,
• 58:09
  all the women on the roster, why would you not think Oscar and
• 58:14
  Kyrie Saying would be a part of the rumble. Obviously they're going to be
• 58:17
  a part of the rumble. Anything. What I thought was going to be
• 58:20
  part of the story, I thought we were going to see some portrayal because
• 58:22
  when Kyrie Saying and Oscar at points in the match were on the verge of
• 58:28
  getting it eliminated, who was the person that was always coming to save them?
• 58:30
  It was Bailey. Yeah, I saw Billy Kings. She saved them
• 58:35
  from elimination on multiple occasions throughout the match, similar to what we saw back
• 58:39
  a War Games when she broke up the pens on all of them. At
• 58:45
  one point in the match, when one of them was about to get pinned,
• 58:47
  it was again Bailey making the save. And then she's doing the same
• 58:51
  thing here in the rumble. That made me think for a second that she
• 58:53
  was gonna lose, because I was thinking they're setting it up that Okay,
• 58:57
  she's saving everybody else, but when she's on the verge of getting eliminated,
• 59:00
  she's gonna get left hanging and she's gonna end up getting tossed out. And
• 59:05
  then, like Kyrie saying, and Oscar would still be in the ring and
• 59:07
  just be like, oh will and I thought that was gonna or they might
• 59:12
  end up eliminating her themselves, and the betrayal was gonna happen in the match,
• 59:15
  which obviously they didn't, and we just the match kind of lulled for
• 59:21
  I won't say lolled, but nothing of significance happened for a while until Nia
• 59:27
  Jackson came in at nineteen and then we started seeing some people get about the
• 59:30
  paint. Nia jacks came in there and started tossing folks out left and right,
• 59:37
  whittling down the ring because at that point the ring had started to get
• 59:39
  pretty crowded because nobody was really being eliminated. And then we got Becky Lynch
• 59:45
  at twenty one, which came to a nice good pop, and then the
• 59:51
  most unexpected entrance of the entire night at number twenty four. Alba Fire Nope
• 1:00:01
  are Truth came in at number twenty four in the Rumble? God? That
• 1:00:08
  was great. It was a good segment. So what was cold? Cole
• 1:00:14
  was going crazy about the holiday antlers? What the hell was I don't fucking
• 1:00:19
  understand that ship cold being fucking weird? Yeah, True Truth is uh becoming
• 1:00:24
  known for his royal rumble antics? Right? Didn't he a ladder one year
• 1:00:30
  and and climate expecting to see a briefcase or whatever everyone else he's done.
• 1:00:36
  I feel like he's done other shenanigans. I'm sure he's done other things.
• 1:00:43
  But now now that we don't have, you know, KOFE doing his little
• 1:00:47
  save himself antics anymore good, that'll put a spotlight on, you know,
• 1:00:52
  the ship that our Truth does going forward? Yeah, backtrack a little bit,
• 1:00:59
  uh, Cole again? Uh, when Maxine dupri came out, he
• 1:01:01
  said heavily improved Maxine Dupris, who then immediately botched like three moves in a
• 1:01:07
  row. That was good. When when when Cole calls Piper, nib and
• 1:01:15
  Nia and then Nia comes out like next, that's kind of weird. Uh,
• 1:01:21
  Chelsea Green when she comes out, Cole says, uh, her attire
• 1:01:24
  is what was the word he used, uh interesting or something? It was
• 1:01:30
  a Pride flag and uh, you know, and I saw an interview with
• 1:01:34
  her where she was like, yeah, I definitely was wearing a Pride flag
• 1:01:37
  because I was in Florida and I wanted people to see it in the specific
• 1:01:42
  because she's like I know exactly where I was, and you know, like
• 1:01:45
  I knew that's gonna be on social media five minutes later. Uh, so
• 1:01:49
  good on her for that. Yeah, she was one of the stars of
• 1:01:54
  this royal rumble for me. Chelsea Green, Holy shit, is she funny?
• 1:01:59
  Uh she gets jumped out and Piper catches her and pretends to drop her.
• 1:02:04
  It was fucking great. And then she gets caught in the middle of
• 1:02:06
  a fucking hoss fight between Nia and Piper and she just just gets destroyed.
• 1:02:13
  But she stayed in there for like, uh, I don't know, fifteen
• 1:02:16
  minutes or so. I don't think she had any eliminations. But no,
• 1:02:22
  why was she funny. Yeah, you're right. That was one of the
• 1:02:24
  better spots of the rumble, was just Chelsea just getting caught up in the
• 1:02:29
  middle of other people's fights and just getting absolutely wrecked being eliminated. Yeah,
• 1:02:35
  she sold it great, Like you know, I think it also picked up
• 1:02:42
  a little bit. Well yeah, I mean, like what we had shot.
• 1:02:46
  Oh I don't know if you guys saw when Shotzi grew a hair back
• 1:02:50
  out. It's green again. Yeah, it's grown out, grown out some
• 1:02:53
  obviously since she shaved, it continued wing to grow. They also did a
• 1:02:58
  good job I think booking like Naya, It's look pretty damn strong in this
• 1:03:01
  rumble. Were like just like nobody could take her out. You know,
• 1:03:06
  she had like seven other women like trying to eliminate her, and she's just
• 1:03:10
  booking it as the strongest one in the rumble. I mean, even like
• 1:03:14
  bigger women like Piper and Evan couldn't do nothing to her. And uh,
• 1:03:19
  you know. Then then they had we had Becky Lynch come out, so
• 1:03:22
  like, yeah, it was like it was refreshing at twenty one. I
• 1:03:24
  think Becky, yeah, yeah, you're right. Oh yeah, I was
• 1:03:30
  say, yeah, you're right. Nia was looking totally dominant in that match
• 1:03:34
  because until number twenty eight came out. Oh dude, like we got the
• 1:03:37
  moment that we were all wondering if it was gonna happen and looking forward to
• 1:03:43
  wet debut of j Cargill and w W E and boy did she have a
• 1:03:51
  daybu If you want to teach somebody like a big deal and then sell it
• 1:03:55
  right from the jump, this is how you fucking did it. She came
• 1:04:00
  out to a massive pop, and Camra immediately went to Nia Jacks reacting to
• 1:04:06
  it, and then she got in that ring and fucking treated Nia Jack's light
• 1:04:12
  light work. Dude. She picked up Niajacks like she was nothing. She
• 1:04:16
  wait, dude, I was like, like the way she did it,
• 1:04:19
  I was like, holy shit, because there was no struggle. It wasn't
• 1:04:24
  a slow thing. It was a fast one. Not one squad shouldn't squad,
• 1:04:31
  dude. I was. I was very impressed because I like it would
• 1:04:38
  come in and because I've seen other women you know, lift Naya or you
• 1:04:44
  know, but like not like that, not like that. And I think,
• 1:04:48
  you know, I did hear that she may have had issues like remembering
• 1:04:54
  spots. You know, there was an issue backstage about oh she was missing
• 1:04:58
  spots. But I'm like, well, first off, I'm like, how
• 1:05:00
  many people have to go and do a Royal Rumble as their first fucking match.
• 1:05:05
  Of course it's gonna be difficult. You know, that's a lot of
• 1:05:09
  shit to remember for your first fucking match on TV for this company, like
• 1:05:15
  and on that you know, that big of a stage exactly, and like
• 1:05:19
  you're messing. You're you're in the ring with people you're not familiar with,
• 1:05:24
  like a lot of veterans in there, and it's not like one or two
• 1:05:27
  people. You're talking like seven eight people in the ring, and you gotta
• 1:05:31
  remember. I totally get it. So like I was just like, did
• 1:05:35
  she ever do a Battle Royal in a W That's the thing, Like I
• 1:05:39
  was thinking too. It's like I don't think so. I don't think so
• 1:05:41
  either, So it's like, cut her some fucking slack. I kind of
• 1:05:45
  rolled my eyes when I saw that. I was like, geez, let
• 1:05:47
  me shut the fuck up. I'm like, I mean, I'll say this,
• 1:05:50
  if she did miss a spot, I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell
• 1:05:54
  either. She looked comfortable in that ring. I'm not saying she looked like
• 1:05:59
  a you know, a seasoned veteran. But she looked comfortable. She looked
• 1:06:02
  like she knew what she was doing. The moments that she had she looked
• 1:06:05
  strong, like I said, squatting freaking niagast like nothing, dumping her outside,
• 1:06:11
  treating her like light work, working with other people. She looked good
• 1:06:15
  in that ring, And I think that was it. Absolutely, absolutely for
• 1:06:21
  that debut you ever say for for a debut like that, you could not
• 1:06:29
  have asked for anything better. She had about as good of a debut as
• 1:06:33
  you could possibly have for a star of her caliber in WWE, and she
• 1:06:41
  got what was probably the spot of the or the not won't say the spot,
• 1:06:44
  but the moment of the entire match, the one that I've seen be
• 1:06:46
  shared more than anything else in the entire women's world. Rumblin arguably shared more
• 1:06:53
  than anything on this whole damn pl was the moment where she is bench pressing
• 1:06:58
  what was Becky Lynch and Biaka is bench pressing. I think it was Ivy
• 1:07:03
  now with somebody, and then they turn around to realize they're both doing the
• 1:07:09
  same thing, and then walked to each towards each other drop then dropped the
• 1:07:15
  people behind them then have that stare, that stare down and you saw the
• 1:07:19
  crowd absolutely rupt like let's go. I think yeah, with the moment of
• 1:07:25
  the that was the moment of the match. Yeah, it was right.
• 1:07:30
  Was not for her, and you know, yeah, like you said,
• 1:07:33
  they did a great job teasing her future, you know, Naya with Becky,
• 1:07:38
  with Bailey, with Naomi of course, uh you know yeah, I
• 1:07:42
  mean yeah, so many moving parts. It's gotta be tough, you know.
• 1:07:46
  And she's kind of still has like a deliberateness a little bit, if
• 1:07:49
  that's a word. But I mean I think they used her pretty much perfectly.
• 1:07:56
  You know, she was dominant without doing too much and allmately. In
• 1:08:00
  the end, she gets out maneuvered by two more experienced wrestlers, you know,
• 1:08:03
  thirty Live Morgan. Uh you know, welcome yeah, welcome back.
• 1:08:12
  Like I kinda I kind of expected her to be thirty, Like I was
• 1:08:15
  like, Okay, well she hasn't come out yet, like she's it's not
• 1:08:19
  it's not gonna be anybody else, It's going to be her. So you
• 1:08:23
  know, she she was only in for like six and a half minutes,
• 1:08:26
  but she eliminated two people, so and one of them was Jade, so
• 1:08:33
  Jade cargile, so you know, good on you like. But I'd say
• 1:08:40
  that this this rumble was pretty damn good for women's rumble. I mean I
• 1:08:45
  liked it. I I totally marked out when Jade came out. I was
• 1:08:47
  just like you fucking Mark Yep marked out. Oh yeah, I agree,
• 1:08:56
  this was This was a good rumble. Obviously Bailey came out on top.
• 1:08:59
  I think the finish was a little bit It was fitting for Bailey as far
• 1:09:05
  as her character in terms of, you know, seeing other people on the
• 1:09:11
  version of elimination and her pouncing at the moment to take out two people for
• 1:09:15
  the win. Obviously that's in character for her. I think personally, I
• 1:09:19
  would have rather, I would have liked it more to see it come down
• 1:09:23
  to a one on one and have her scrap it out with somebody for the
• 1:09:27
  last spot. But I'm okay with it. That was like kind of exactly
• 1:09:30
  how it ended last year on the Aeah. Yeah, last year it came
• 1:09:34
  down to well, no, they did. They did do it like a
• 1:09:36
  somewhat quicker elimination last year because I think what Ria and Live they it was
• 1:09:44
  real live in Oscar, right with the final three apron. Yeah, but
• 1:09:49
  I think last year's was executed a bit better because it was all three of
• 1:09:53
  them on the apron pretty much just trading blows and you know, it could
• 1:09:59
  have been arguing. I mean, we kind of knew was gonna win,
• 1:10:00
  but they pretty much played it out as if any one of them could go.
• 1:10:04
  And then you know, they had the spot with Oscar blinding Live and
• 1:10:09
  Live is still fighting blind but managed to I think eliminate Oscar and then almost
• 1:10:14
  got Lived out until Live man, I mean almost got Ria out and then
• 1:10:17
  Ria managed to you know, freaking flip her out. So I think last
• 1:10:21
  year's finale was executed better than this year's. This year's was just kind of
• 1:10:27
  pretty standard fare of okay, two people hanging on and then here comes Bailey
• 1:10:33
  out, go to both of you and that's it. Well, I like
• 1:10:41
  that. I like the shot of Jade, Live, Tiffany, and Bianca
• 1:10:45
  kind of all on the outside watching Bailey celebrate. Yeah, he was there
• 1:10:50
  too. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if that's five six of the elimination
• 1:10:56
  chamber. But yeah, that's absolutely the right call and like one of the
• 1:11:00
  only accolades she didn't have right, she was the first Grand Slam champion.
• 1:11:05
  I think she's won money in the bank. Uh, what else is there?
• 1:11:11
  I guess they've only done Queen of the Ring a handful of times.
• 1:11:15
  Yeah, I don't think she's won that, but I mean anything left for
• 1:11:18
  is what's possibly coming her way now, which is main eventing WrestleMania, depending
• 1:11:25
  on you know, how they booked the card. Yep, you know,
• 1:11:28
  I think she's got to be it's gotta be Io right, and then it's
• 1:11:33
  just a teens right, it has to be. Yeah, I think almost
• 1:11:38
  certainly. I think they've been teasing that or leaning that way for far too
• 1:11:43
  long of you know, Bailey getting kicked out of damage control or what have
• 1:11:48
  you. Granted, they've done their best of trying to, you know,
• 1:11:54
  send people in the opposite direction with Bailey talking about unchallenging and after this,
• 1:11:59
  I'm going after red, damaged, golden controlling, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 1:12:02
  But I think they may have seemingly planted to see this past Monday,
• 1:12:06
  when Bailey's given her speech about winning and then Riha comes out to shut that
• 1:12:14
  down, and then Naya immediately shuts that down by whooping Rhea's ass. In
• 1:12:18
  the ring and getting up in Bailey's face, to which Bailey immediately kind of
• 1:12:24
  cowered like, yeah, you know, I cool, cool, I ain't
• 1:12:28
  doing shit. I make my decision Friday, and then they automatically show the
• 1:12:30
  shot of EO outside the ring like, ho, little bitch, what you
• 1:12:33
  talking about? Oh? We had a plan here. Yeah. So over
• 1:12:39
  I think we're gonna see something probably go down this Friday on SmackDown. Gonna
• 1:12:43
  it's gonna be like Batista of evolution. Ye oh yeah, the bean has
• 1:12:48
  been made already. So overall, I think this I would give this like
• 1:12:53
  a four and a half out of five. Like for me, I like
• 1:12:57
  it had it had a bunch of raw bunch, just smack down, good
• 1:13:00
  mixture. Both. We had two n xt UH superstars, we had a
• 1:13:08
  teen a great did a litter of Tiffany Stratton luck by the way, fantastic.
• 1:13:15
  Oh yeah, she had definitely a strong showing in the Rumbo light.
• 1:13:18
  I think anybody who's seen her form knows that, Yeah, Tiffany can absolutely
• 1:13:24
  hold her own in with anybody on the main roster at this point in time.
• 1:13:29
  She just needs more development of her character itself. But in the ring,
• 1:13:32
  oh no, there's nothing a question about Tiffany Stratten in the ring,
• 1:13:35
  and I think once more people get to see eyes on her, she's gonna
• 1:13:41
  be and I'm gonna say this now, she'll eventually be in the debate for
• 1:13:45
  best moon salt ever in wrestling. Yeah. Anybody who's seen her her moon
• 1:13:51
  salt, that thing is nice, flawless. I ain't seen the moosalt that
• 1:13:58
  nice since probably Kurding. What would you rate this match out of five stars?
• 1:14:05
  I go I'd say four out of five. I think it was a
• 1:14:11
  good It was a good rumble. It had a, like I said,
• 1:14:14
  good strong moments like Jordan Gracie had a strong showing. Jay Cargill's debut was
• 1:14:18
  excellent. You know, Nia Jack's got to look strong without and you know,
• 1:14:23
  without you know, completely squashing anybody. We got good comedy bits from
• 1:14:29
  our Truth and Chelsea Green. Yeah, right like that middle of it.
• 1:14:35
  Yeah. The only thing that only part where it kind of fell flat for
• 1:14:40
  the room Women's rumble fell flat for me was just to finish. I thought
• 1:14:43
  the finish was a little bit weak, But other than that, I thought
• 1:14:45
  this was it was a great rumble. There you go, Yeah, I
• 1:14:51
  got go three and three quarter stars on it. I I liked it.
• 1:14:55
  I liked the match, which we'll get to. It was fun. So
• 1:15:00
  what do you guys think is next for Jade? Though? Going forward?
• 1:15:03
  Fun? Right now, she doesn't know where she's going. I think she
• 1:15:09
  should go to Okay because it looks like it's either Naya or Bianca, right
• 1:15:15
  those are like the two. Think they should rush to Beyonca from from what
• 1:15:24
  I've seen her as a tag team exactly. Yes, yeah, I would
• 1:15:29
  much rather see them paired up and be allies than just being immediate enemies off
• 1:15:33
  the top. Like no Jade, Jade and and Beyonca versus the Kabuki Warriors
• 1:15:38
  for the titles and many it might be a pretty nice match, you know,
• 1:15:42
  that'd be unstoppable. That'd be a badass women's tag team right there.
• 1:15:45
  And you've got and you've got her in there with three awesome workers sticking help
• 1:15:50
  you know exactly, Yeah, Because I mean if you make her make them
• 1:15:55
  adversaries off the top, then you've got nowhere to go. Yeah, like
• 1:16:00
  that's to be that's reach of hot shot booking. Oh we get the quick
• 1:16:02
  thing and then then what people wanted. Everybody knows what's gonna happen at some
• 1:16:08
  point, take your time. How about if it doesn't sound like we're going
• 1:16:13
  against Sasha, But if we did, what about Bianca and Jade versus Sasha
• 1:16:18
  and Naomi for the titles they never lost? Mmm, that'd be bad.
• 1:16:24
  That could be a hell of a few. Like, there's plenty of places
• 1:16:27
  you can go with with them being paired up, like paired up together.
• 1:16:31
  Plus that allows you to keep Bianca involved in something prominent without being constantly around
• 1:16:38
  the title picture and constantly you know, either dominating by holding the title or
• 1:16:45
  losing constant challenges. And you can still trot her out to all the stuff
• 1:16:50
  you're trotting her out to, uh with helse on her shoulder, you know,
• 1:16:55
  the two of them would look walking her out like yeah, man as
• 1:17:00
  yep. That would be I would all for that. If you're gonna put
• 1:17:04
  them on the on the same show, if not for the If not that,
• 1:17:10
  then well no I would. That would be my first joint. I
• 1:17:14
  would say, If not that, then you can have one on WRAW one
• 1:17:15
  on SmackDown. They both just kind of doing their thing, dominating, kind
• 1:17:20
  of checking each other like I see you over there, I see you two
• 1:17:24
  girl and then admiring each other from afar before they eventually, you know,
• 1:17:30
  come to a head. But I think i'd rather see them be directly paired
• 1:17:35
  up together and it's stable with the street profits and Bobby last year. Now,
• 1:17:43
  how about how do you guys feel about the crowd? It tounded dead
• 1:17:46
  and ship except for in certain spots on TV. I've heard reports that it
• 1:17:51
  was not that way in person, but I don't know if the crowd was
• 1:17:56
  miked up weird or what. It did seem like the pops, like you
• 1:18:00
  could tell they were big pops, but it's like the volume wasn't coming through
• 1:18:04
  the way you would think. But well, I'm also wondering do we have
• 1:18:08
  a theme song problem, like one not too long ago. Oh you mean
• 1:18:15
  for the pay per view? Yeah, I mean less so in the men's
• 1:18:18
  match. But I felt like a lot of these women weren't getting reactions because
• 1:18:23
  nobody knows, Like I don't know what their theme song is, you know
• 1:18:26
  what I mean? And that was a complaint I saw, and it's so
• 1:18:29
  true. It's like everybody knew Jay's. Yeah, everybody has like this generic
• 1:18:35
  fucking rock music, like ever since we got rid of like I think the
• 1:18:42
  last good one was CFO Money. Once we got rid of of them.
• 1:18:45
  It's like these theme music has just been generic garbage and it seems like one
• 1:18:53
  out of every ten will get something good, and it's you know, it's
• 1:18:59
  hard. It's hard to get a theme music that sticks. And I can
• 1:19:02
  think of, like, do you guys remember Wade Barrett? For there was
• 1:19:08
  a time where I felt like Wade Barrett would change his theme music like every
• 1:19:13
  few weeks. It's just like you just kept changing it because they can never
• 1:19:16
  find music that worked for Wade Barrett. And it's like every time I would
• 1:19:20
  hear it, I can never tell you what his theme music is because I
• 1:19:24
  couldn't remember. It was just not memorable. Time to cook, Yeah,
• 1:19:29
  yeah, exactly. I get stuff time to yeah, make it catchy,
• 1:19:31
  like I mean like Shinske and there's the rumble later and he's a heel.
• 1:19:39
  But yet like they were singing his theme music and they were saying it long
• 1:19:43
  and loud, so sure, And I think part of that is them not
• 1:19:49
  really some lack of investment in the women as compared to the men, Like
• 1:19:56
  yeah, they almost certainly want to give them something. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:20:00
  with the men, they almost certainly want to give them something that's unique to
• 1:20:03
  their character, right, that is, you know, a fully formed character,
• 1:20:06
  whereas a lot of the women, admittedly some of the women don't really
• 1:20:12
  have don't appear to have as fully formed individual characters like we see on the
• 1:20:16
  men's side. There are some that obviously have fully developed characters, and those
• 1:20:20
  are usually the ones that are towards the top of the roster, and they
• 1:20:26
  all have obviously noteworthy themes that we can immediately recognize. People like Becky and
• 1:20:31
  Bianca live Morgan, you know, Riha, Charlotte, you know, they
• 1:20:36
  have those immediately recognizable themes outside of that, yeah, yeah, and yet
• 1:20:43
  obviously, but people still immediately recognize Jades, which I don't. I'm pretty
• 1:20:50
  sure that was not her aw theme that they use. I don't know that
• 1:20:54
  Jade has her own theme that she owns or not. But it seems like
• 1:21:00
  as soon as she hit I don't know, if it was maybe that people
• 1:21:01
  saw her before the cameras got to her and that's how the pop came that
• 1:21:06
  eventually just spread throughout the crowd like a wave. But I don't know,
• 1:21:12
  I think, yeah, they do need to kind of invest more in some
• 1:21:15
  of these women's themes and character development as opposed to just putting them out there
• 1:21:21
  as you know, another wrestler and shorts and boots and a sports bra.
• 1:21:27
  If you're not wrestling for a championship, you're basically hardly there, you know,
• 1:21:33
  which brings me to my favorite three words again about the women's division made
• 1:21:39
  car title speaking titles. That brings us to the next match, which was
• 1:21:51
  Roman Reigns defending the undisputed WWE Universal Championship of Intergalactic Purpos against Randy Orton,
• 1:22:02
  AJ Styles and l A. Knight in a fatal four way match. Yeah,
• 1:22:09
  Roman one, But how much of that was entrance? God, this
• 1:22:23
  is I don't know. That's just my opinion is like the first like ten
• 1:22:27
  minutes was all entrance, and I don't know, I don't know if that
• 1:22:31
  was counted. Yeah, well, I mean, you know, l A.
• 1:22:35
  Knight has the slim Gym sponsorship, so you know they had to they
• 1:22:38
  had to get that crossover in LA Night got his specialized slim Gym entrance,
• 1:22:45
  and Yeah, the match started off, they all jumped on Rains started whooping
• 1:22:48
  him, then paired off in their own fights. They fight, they fight,
• 1:22:51
  they continue, they continue enter the Bloodline, well specifically Solo, who
• 1:22:57
  comes out there, starts wrecking people and then ultimately rains hit the spear on.
• 1:23:03
  Styles gets the pin retains the title. Pretty much went exactly as we
• 1:23:10
  all expected it to go, because Roman Reigns was not dropping this ship to
• 1:23:15
  none of them three motherfuckers. So the only question to be asked really is
• 1:23:19
  what's next for the other three. We know what's next for Roman. He's
• 1:23:25
  adding the WrestleMania to defend against probably one of two people t b D.
• 1:23:31
  What the hell are Randy, l aj and l A gonna do? That's
• 1:23:35
  moving forward fucking question because uh, you know, we do have a mid
• 1:23:42
  car title that we still don't really have a WrestleMania match book for two mid
• 1:23:48
  card titles. Really we don't have WrestleMania matches book four. I mean,
• 1:23:53
  but is that beneath some of these guys, But like, where else do
• 1:23:57
  they go from here? Like Styles is now a heel, you know,
• 1:24:01
  Orton's you know, he's on this this this run of coming back so recent,
• 1:24:08
  you know, and l A. Knight was the guy, the workhorse
• 1:24:11
  while these guys were gone, and like it was at the peak of his
• 1:24:14
  popularity right now. Ah. You know it's funny because everybody kind of got
• 1:24:18
  their their little moment to shine this match, like l A. Knight made
• 1:24:23
  like the first pen attempt and then you got like styles like right after and
• 1:24:28
  it's all on Roman too. Uh and then you know, ray Ney Orton
• 1:24:32
  was given r KOs all around to everybody before you know, Solo interfered,
• 1:24:38
  which it's it's like fuck, here we go again, Like Solo had to
• 1:24:42
  interfere, you know, and then he got he got speared through the barricade
• 1:24:45
  and uh, he almost took out the ring announcer. I don't know if
• 1:24:50
  you saw how close he was. Yeah, I appreciate that. So yeah,
• 1:24:58
  he was going like one hundred miles of I was like, damn,
• 1:25:00
  dude, calm down, like you gotta kill that girl. She's so small.
• 1:25:05
  Uh And okay, so we did talk about how like, oh,
• 1:25:11
  was he gonna stack him like he like he did when he fought Daniel Bryan
• 1:25:15
  and Edge and he did stack him. But like, could you imagine just
• 1:25:19
  like being ort in We're I don't even know what's more awkward is it being
• 1:25:23
  Orton the guy at the bottom, being l A. Knight who was draped
• 1:25:26
  over him for like two and a half minutes, and two and a half
• 1:25:29
  minutes sounds long. Two and a half minutes does not sound long, But
• 1:25:33
  when you're draped over another man who's also sweating and no T shirt on,
• 1:25:40
  it's a little fucking awkward. And I don't care who you are. He
• 1:25:44
  hadn't draped over, He was just like laying on top of him for like
• 1:25:46
  the longest time. And then like a J Salas took out you know,
• 1:25:50
  Roman reigns and then stacked him, which was kind of like, oh,
• 1:25:55
  I didn't see that coming. And then you know, the the and then
• 1:25:58
  to go and Romans shoulders aren't even the down yeah, yeah, and he's
• 1:26:02
  just there for extra weight. Yeah, and the other two just you know,
• 1:26:05
  kick out. So but uh that that's yeah, I just did we
• 1:26:12
  Yeah, we all knew Rumman was leaving. And that's a pretty damn good
• 1:26:15
  question. I don't know where any of these guys go. I would really
• 1:26:18
  like to see La Knight. Uh, you know, if if we do
• 1:26:23
  get the Rumble winner versus maybe Rains, I don't we'll talk about that later,
• 1:26:29
  but like I much rather see that and then maybe La Knight go for
• 1:26:34
  like a world title win or you know, I I thought of uh,
• 1:26:42
  because we still have the money in the bank. Briefcase, like, I
• 1:26:45
  don't know how or why he hasn't cashed in on somebody who's been fucking injured.
• 1:26:53
  You think that would be the perfect opportunity to cash in on a on
• 1:26:56
  a world title. With a briefcase is when the guys fuck get injured.
• 1:27:01
  It could come to the point where that does happen and Damien goes in as
• 1:27:05
  a heel champion and it's not what we want, but that's what we could
• 1:27:10
  get. And you have somebody who everybody loves, l A. Knight come
• 1:27:16
  in and be the the Knight and Shining Armor and take the world title.
• 1:27:23
  But I mean, who knows at this point. Honestly, you know what,
• 1:27:27
  I don't see l. A. Knight in the world title picture anytime
• 1:27:31
  in the immediate future. I think I think he's destined probably for obviously they
• 1:27:39
  he still needs to maintain his momentum and I think WW still needs to take
• 1:27:43
  advantage of it while he still has it. But my guess is that he's
• 1:27:46
  probably destined for a mid card title for at least a little while. Say
• 1:27:54
  that way, that he is at least a champion. Yeah, I mean
• 1:28:00
  in the immediate future, I think these three are probably gonna be the three
• 1:28:05
  of the six entrants in the Elimination Chamber match next month, and then the
• 1:28:10
  other and the other three will come from Raw probably like you know, it's
• 1:28:15
  like Jay Usso and some others. I think that that's probably in the immediate
• 1:28:23
  future. After that, we'll see what the hell A J. N Orton
• 1:28:28
  have going into WrestleMania. And yeah, I think be surprised to see AJ
• 1:28:32
  and Randy Wrestler at WrestleMania. Oh yeah, they could very well just have
• 1:28:36
  a one on one match. Maybe something goes down in the Elimination Chamber that
• 1:28:41
  puts them on a collision course going into WrestleMania. While La Knights splinches off.
• 1:28:47
  Yeah yeah, well La splinches off and probably is, like you said,
• 1:28:50
  destined for Logan Paul for the US title and then he gets his WrestleMania
• 1:28:58
  moment of becoming a champion. Yep, there you go, man. And
• 1:29:02
  yeah, that match was only nineteen minutes and thirty seconds after the one hour
• 1:29:08
  rumble we just had, so it seemed like it was very short. It
• 1:29:13
  felt very short of a match. Like I said, maybe it's just because
• 1:29:15
  of the long entrances and the introductions and the blah blah blah blah blah blah
• 1:29:23
  blah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, and if you had any doubt
• 1:29:28
  that Roman was going to win, I think the fact that it was second
• 1:29:30
  on the card just sealed the deal. Yeah, because when Roman finally loses,
• 1:29:36
  it's going to be the last thing that happens on a given show.
• 1:29:40
  It's not the second match of the evening, you know, even if there's
• 1:29:45
  only four matches, right, I thought it was kind of crazy that Romans
• 1:29:49
  never defended in a fatal four way in this whole time he's been champion.
• 1:29:54
  That was kind of I did not know that stat. And you know how
• 1:29:58
  much love WW of his multi pertson matches, just found that found that interesting.
• 1:30:05
  Yeah, another notch under Roman's belt. So following this, we got
• 1:30:13
  the next match that was not a rumble match, in the form of the
• 1:30:18
  United States Championship match with Logan Paul defending against Kevin Owens. This is where
• 1:30:25
  I'm gonna be honest, this is where my long day took its toll because
• 1:30:31
  I fell asleep in this bucking match. I ain't gonna lie. I fell
• 1:30:36
  asleep during this match, and when I woke up, there were two people
• 1:30:40
  in the men's rumble beating the crap out of each other. I had to
• 1:30:44
  read up on Howard wake up like the beginning of the rumble of the Men's
• 1:30:48
  are like towards like the end? Oh no, no, it was the
• 1:30:51
  beginning. It was the beginning. I woke up there were two people in
• 1:30:56
  the match beating crap at each other, and I was like, I,
• 1:31:00
  well, I had maybe about a good maybe five to ten seconds of panic
• 1:31:04
  when I woke up, because I just woke up and I was like,
• 1:31:08
  holy shit, what the fuck? Oh where am I? I'm looked over
• 1:31:12
  at the TV and like, oh, fuck, damn, I missed the
• 1:31:15
  whole damn match. What the hell were we at the rumble? And then
• 1:31:17
  I'll see the countdown, like, oh, okay, it just started.
• 1:31:20
  It just started. Oh well, yeah, listen. I was in a
• 1:31:24
  different time zone and didn't remember that things happen in different times and different time
• 1:31:30
  zones. So I'm walking around on vacation and I go back to the hotel
• 1:31:33
  at seven thirty, thinking, oh, yeah, you know, put this
• 1:31:36
  put this on, blah blah, blah, get ready, and sure enough
• 1:31:41
  it was half as half of because then it started half an hour before that
• 1:31:45
  seven eight thirty not seven thirty. Yeah, I mean you weren't the only
• 1:31:51
  one that had problem. Yeah, you know, I can't say too much
• 1:31:56
  about this match itself other than I guess apparently, and then there's some controversy
• 1:32:00
  and Kevin always beat the crap out of Ko out of a Logan Paul after
• 1:32:02
  the match with something. But yes, can't say much about this. They
• 1:32:08
  didn't do a great job on commentary explaining it, and like you know what
• 1:32:16
  happened right U Ko used brass knuckles and the referee saw that they were still
• 1:32:20
  on Kevin Owen's hand, but commentary didn't tell us was it was the same
• 1:32:26
  referee from the last match where Logan Paul used the brass knuckles on Raymond Stereo,
• 1:32:31
  so he was looking for brass knuckles and that's why he was so alerted
• 1:32:34
  to them. Well nice, because I was just like, oh, look
• 1:32:41
  of refuse actually doing his job. He like immediately booked out or like kicked
• 1:32:45
  out one of Logan Paul's buddies who came to help him, which we figured
• 1:32:49
  it was going to be somebody, a no name person, you know,
• 1:32:55
  and then he catches Kevin Owens at the Brastucles and he loses by DQ.
• 1:33:00
  You know, so like Logan Paul gets the save of not being pinned,
• 1:33:06
  and you know, I guess also Kevin Owens losing but not getting pinned.
• 1:33:13
  Like I guess it protects both of these guys. But why now is But
• 1:33:18
  I just heard recently that Logan Paul is now fully signed like a full time
• 1:33:24
  member of the roster. I heard that as of yesterday, So now I'm
• 1:33:30
  hoping we see more of him. But unfortunately, this was a snooze of
• 1:33:36
  a match for me. Yeah, I can see why you fell asleep.
• 1:33:41
  It sucks. I mean, maybe it's because of like what they had to
• 1:33:45
  follow, you know, they had to follow. We're talking about a United
• 1:33:48
  States title match, having to follow the undisputed ww Universal Championship match, and
• 1:33:56
  then also having a men's or rumble match after this. It's like everybody's kind
• 1:34:00
  of like, alright, I thought that having if they were having the four
• 1:34:05
  way earlier, it meant that we might get some of those guys in the
• 1:34:09
  rumble, But I guess that went out the window. Yeah, I don't
• 1:34:12
  understand why the why that match wasn't second yeou booked it like that? Yeah,
• 1:34:17
  I agree, But if they weren't use the guys again, why why
• 1:34:23
  not have them go on third? That makes Yeah? Yeah, get the
• 1:34:27
  US title match out the way and then do though. Yeah, I thought
• 1:34:30
  they did a decent job selling Ko's hand injury which is a fade injury,
• 1:34:36
  but his foot apparent his foot apparently is really broken in real life, but
• 1:34:42
  they're not gonna but he has a fake broken hand. Yeah, w W
• 1:34:48
  logic for you. Yeahs the real injury, but sell the hell out of
• 1:34:54
  this fake one. Yeah. So I'm ready to move on to the Men's
• 1:34:58
  Rumble. Yeah, up our main event, the Men's Royal Rumble match started
• 1:35:04
  off as our number one entrant main event, Jay Usso and number two the
• 1:35:14
  husband of the number two entrant in the Women's Royal Rumble, that being Jay's
• 1:35:20
  brother Jimmy fail Dad. Yeah, Seth and Becky were both number fifteen last
• 1:35:30
  year. It's very cute, very gotta gotta love numerology. Yeah. I
• 1:35:35
  thought that was awesome though, because like the face that Jay made when Jimmy's
• 1:35:42
  music fucking hit, Ah, it was priceless. He just looked over so
• 1:35:45
  like, man, you gotta be shitting me, you know, like it
• 1:35:53
  was good because we got the vibes of like what we could have at WrestleMania.
• 1:35:58
  There's so many wonderful memes came out, and I think my favorite one
• 1:36:01
  is the comparison of the end of Into the Spidery Verse with Ralis seeing himself
• 1:36:10
  fucking perfect. Here's the thing, nothing about Jimmy's character makes any fucking sense.
• 1:36:18
  Jimmy, but why is Jimmy madd at Jay? It makes no sense.
• 1:36:21
  Jimmy's Jimmy's reassociation with the bloodline makes no sense either. It's just like,
• 1:36:29
  yeah, I wish they would try to explain something right, But yeah,
• 1:36:34
  but it made for a good moment with them having that stare down and
• 1:36:38
  then you know, teasing a little bit of that of what's potentially to come
• 1:36:43
  at WrestleMania, which is which is kind of what the you know, the
• 1:36:48
  secondary job of the Rumble is is, you know, set up future storylines,
• 1:36:54
  give the crowd nice moments and teases and stuff. Yeah, this was
• 1:36:59
  probably at the top of the teas of all teases. This one probably just
• 1:37:04
  as much of a tease as Bianca and uh As Bianca and Jade's tease was,
• 1:37:11
  if not more so, Yeah, No, I mean we've thought,
• 1:37:15
  we've thought, we've expected this match for months now. Yeah, they found
• 1:37:23
  a good way to keep them separated until Yeah, I remember when they separated.
• 1:37:28
  I remember we all said, how the fuck are they going to keep
• 1:37:30
  them away from each other that long? And now how are we going to
• 1:37:34
  get them back together face each other. They'll fucking figure it out, I'm
• 1:37:41
  sure. So we'll go full circle with the ship, but continue dre yep,
• 1:37:48
  so I think I said, going off of from there, Obviously we
• 1:37:54
  got the yeats and the nose, and the yeats and the nose and the
• 1:37:59
  continuing until at number three we got our first surprise entrant on the men's side.
• 1:38:08
  They were turning and Drade, who came out to a respectable pop sore.
• 1:38:17
  Oh you're right about that, You're right, you're right, you're right,
• 1:38:19
  you're right. But yeah it's three and his ugly ass basketball short outfit.
• 1:38:26
  His outfit. Well, here's the thing about Androde And speaking of theme
• 1:38:30
  songs, he had a fucking awesome theme song before, so they changed that,
• 1:38:33
  and so they they bring him out and I guess he says Eli the
• 1:38:36
  Lowe at the beginning, but they bring him out with a different theme song
• 1:38:40
  and he's wearing a mask, Like, is that the best way to read
• 1:38:43
  debut with somebody? Like, if you're gonna change the theme song, at
• 1:38:46
  least show us who the hell he is? You know that. I know
• 1:38:50
  that's part of his gimmick or whatever, but I just thought that was a
• 1:38:54
  weird choice to not only change the theme but stick him in a mask and
• 1:38:58
  throw him out there. Yeah. Yeah, I think it did kind of
• 1:39:02
  dampen what could have been arguably a larger pop from him, had the crowd
• 1:39:08
  been able to immediately react as opposed to being like, as opposed to having
• 1:39:14
  that who the hell is this? Oh it's that guy? Yay? Yeah.
• 1:39:18
  Yeah. He was followed up by Carmela Hayes making his Royal Rumble debut
• 1:39:25
  at number five, followed by the Heel who got everybody to sing for him
• 1:39:30
  any damn way because it's the Rumble and that's what we do now shins Kate
• 1:39:32
  Nakamora at number six. Yeah, and then you know, most Rumbles,
• 1:39:40
  for the most part, are pretty standard fare. It really was, honestly
• 1:39:44
  on the men's side. There really wasn't a whole lot of surprises or anything
• 1:39:49
  outside of really like androte. They kind of really went through the paces.
• 1:39:55
  I mean, ye had lastly at eleven, you know, and then we
• 1:40:01
  got that. I mean, I guess that was a bit of a cool
• 1:40:03
  moment with Lashley at eleven and then carrying he eliminated, carrying cross, then
• 1:40:10
  carrying Cross got him eliminated. Authors of pain are out there. Then the
• 1:40:15
  street profits show up to fight the authors of pain, but they send the
• 1:40:18
  two female referees to stop the author's of pain right to stop app and the
• 1:40:25
  two women get it from like no, like what the fuck was that?
• 1:40:28
  Like Dirtie Dom got so many booze and he came out, oh yep,
• 1:40:32
  yep. How about it about Carlito, Like it's bad enough to get spit
• 1:40:36
  in the face with an apple, it was more so that apple has been
• 1:40:41
  in some guy's ball. Oh dude, he pulled the apple out of his
• 1:40:45
  fucking shorts and I was like, what do you where? Why did you
• 1:40:49
  smuggle that out? You know? And it's a wonder Carlito doesn't show because
• 1:40:56
  like you take a bite of an apple, he'll like bump and then you'll
• 1:40:59
  have to spin it out like one of these days he's gonna like chokee.
• 1:41:05
  Yeah. I will say that was a good It was a good scene that
• 1:41:11
  you know, that beef was not completely ignored, and it is still kind
• 1:41:15
  of what I want to see in the feud between you know, I guess
• 1:41:19
  Final the test Final Testament and the Pride. I guess if that's what show.
• 1:41:29
  But I don't know if they have. But I thought I heard I
• 1:41:32
  think Grave said something like Lastly's Pride is like yeah, no, I think
• 1:41:39
  yeah, I think there was that moment. I also think, like on
• 1:41:42
  the SmackDown the night before, I thought I heard tes Or Dawkins one of
• 1:41:47
  them referred to another one as lion Is. I think that happened as well.
• 1:41:55
  So I don't know if it's official yet, but you know, for
• 1:41:58
  the sake of not saying Lastly in the street profits over and over again,
• 1:42:01
  while I'm just gonna call them the Pride for the time being between Final Testament
• 1:42:06
  and Pride. How great was Ludwig Kaiser avoiding them while he was walking down
• 1:42:11
  the ram. Yeah, yeah, first German in the Royal rumble, I
• 1:42:16
  believe, is that right? Yeah? I think I saw that he set
• 1:42:21
  a record. You didn't see this brand new spanking record broken. It is
• 1:42:28
  broken by WWE reports geez out of the gajillions of other fucking records. Yeah,
• 1:42:33
  I saw, I saw. I think he was like the first German.
• 1:42:40
  It is a famous It was Ludwig Borga, not an actual German,
• 1:42:45
  I guess not was probably from fucking out Dakota or some ship. But I
• 1:42:54
  would say among at least in the early to mid parts of the Men's Rum,
• 1:43:00
  I'll say probably the most noteworthy thing was bron Breaker and answering at number
• 1:43:05
  twenty and absolutely wrecking shop because apparently it wasn't Cody getting a full intro with
• 1:43:14
  Pyro in the middle of the thing. Oh I noticed that too, like,
• 1:43:17
  oh, yeah, this is what we're doing number fifteen, which I
• 1:43:20
  was. I was happy he put him slap right in the middle. Well,
• 1:43:24
  Broun supposedly took Brock's spot and did, Yes, all the things Brock
• 1:43:29
  was would happen. But like when he came out, I thought that,
• 1:43:31
  and I have it here, like, uh, if you don't mind,
• 1:43:35
  I kind of have to hear what he did because they said move for move
• 1:43:41
  is like the spots that he did that was all for Brock, Like he
• 1:43:45
  said, uh, Guther and Broun Breaker have a staredown after after Braun came
• 1:43:53
  in and attacked Shit Jimmy Uso, Shin Skin Knock and Mora Finnbaler, then
• 1:43:59
  he elimited ad Jimmy Usso and Finn Balor. Uh So, right there,
• 1:44:03
  he's taking one person from the bloodline now and taking somebody from a judgment day
• 1:44:10
  which will later come to bite him in the ass. And then after him
• 1:44:14
  and Guther have this stare now, which I was like right then and there,
• 1:44:16
  I was like, oh wait, this feels like something they would have
• 1:44:21
  had Brock do, and like, you know, coming in sparing guys and
• 1:44:26
  going through three guys and tossing two over the rope. Uh. And then
• 1:44:30
  Omas comes out, you know, and so O Maas and him you know,
• 1:44:35
  kind of had a little thing and and I was like, Okay,
• 1:44:41
  yeah, this definitely feels like Brock vibes. And uh, you know,
• 1:44:44
  the the spear that fucking got me was the one he did Ivar and Ivar
• 1:44:48
  jumped off of the rope, I guess. Uh. And then and then
• 1:44:55
  Braun was the guy to eliminate Omas right, and like right after he eliminates
• 1:45:00
  Moss, dirty Dom comes up and eliminates him, and I was like,
• 1:45:04
  man, I was like, okay, so you know, he eliminated Finn
• 1:45:10
  Balair, so Dom kind of gets him for it. But I was like,
• 1:45:15
  man, like this sound this feels like something they would have had for
• 1:45:17
  Brock. And we later find out that that's true, and we also find
• 1:45:20
  out that they were going to book Brock versus Dominic at Elimination Chamber. Kind
• 1:45:29
  of funny, but I would have loved it and less Dom one. Yeah,
• 1:45:34
  it would have been like a bunch of Judgment Day jumping in. But
• 1:45:38
  like think about like that would have made him super face, you know,
• 1:45:42
  like putting him against fucking domb and Judgment Day like that would make him.
• 1:45:45
  Yeah, and like what's that leading? Right? But what's that lead?
• 1:45:50
  What was that going to lead into him going into WrestleMania as a super face
• 1:45:54
  then like against the superhel Gunter. Yeah, that's that's the only thing I
• 1:45:59
  think of. So a gun there during his intro when he stopped to chew
• 1:46:02
  out Ludrig Kaiser eliminated Yeah, you know, yeah, I felt bad for
• 1:46:11
  Koffee Man he got a huge pop and it just died. I think when
• 1:46:15
  people realized he wasn't Biggie. That was kind of classic. Made him just
• 1:46:20
  get eliminated though, And I get hopefully we're retiring the Koffee spot because he's
• 1:46:26
  fucked it up like three years. Oh yeah, I think they he acknowledged
• 1:46:29
  that, I think a year or two ago. Then he was done with
• 1:46:31
  that. There's multiple times like with that, with their theme music, you
• 1:46:34
  always think that Biggie was coming back, especially with the rumble, like uh
• 1:46:40
  yeah, yeah, oh it's yeah. God damnsel thought it was impossible this
• 1:46:45
  time for a moment because Xavier was came out and then it hit again for
• 1:46:51
  Koffee and I was like, okay, if we hear that music one more
• 1:46:55
  time? Yeah right, I got it so excited. H dude. The
• 1:47:00
  Pat mcviee spot thirty eight seconds of a wasted spot, That's what pissed me
• 1:47:05
  off the most. It's like, you you wasted this spot for literally no
• 1:47:11
  reason, like was was there something we didn't know? Like was there another
• 1:47:15
  wrestler on the card who just couldn't make it? And this was your suggestion?
• 1:47:21
  Like a lot of people thought that, you know, he was the
• 1:47:25
  one filling in the Brock spot, which would been the most obvious because it
• 1:47:29
  was completely fucking pointless. But and he tried to play it off like he
• 1:47:33
  didn't know about it, showed like I didn't know about it. It was
• 1:47:39
  like bull fucking shit. There's no way, like everybody knew just to stop
• 1:47:45
  when you came in, and you know, right, everybody's stop wrestling.
• 1:47:49
  This is the Pat spot. Yeah, yeah, yep, dream what what
• 1:47:53
  about how we got? You know what that spot should have gone to?
• 1:47:56
  Real quick, sorry, real quick. You know that spot should have gone
• 1:47:59
  to. Is that of Pat McAfee trick motherfucking Williams. Yeah, let him
• 1:48:04
  get that spot, and you could have done a little something between him and
• 1:48:08
  Carmelo Hayes in that ring to help further their storyline. And we could have
• 1:48:13
  got a big ass, forty thousand strong whooped that trick chant in fucking Florida.
• 1:48:18
  Mm hmmm. So we got what I know. Unfortunately we got JD
• 1:48:26
  McDonough h he was only in for like three seconds. Uh, and our
• 1:48:30
  truth came in so and then we got the mizz Oh you're burying the lead.
• 1:48:38
  Our truth tagged in. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell yeh, I
• 1:48:43
  totally forgot about that getting dude. I the way the crowd was all for
• 1:48:50
  it too, like Our Truth is fucking slating it right now in the business
• 1:48:56
  like, and then you know, he got eliminated by Dami, So you
• 1:49:00
  know, I wish they would have let Our Truth clear the ring a little
• 1:49:04
  bit more. I don't mean like in terms of eliminating people, but just
• 1:49:09
  fully lean into the hot tag moment and just have him just whooping everybody's ass,
• 1:49:13
  right, yeah, exactly, I'm bunching it, dropping people left and
• 1:49:17
  just hitting all this stuff, and just let fully, if you're gonna do
• 1:49:20
  that, spot fully lean into it, leads all the way in and just
• 1:49:25
  have him just lay out everybody in the ring, whooping ass and then get
• 1:49:30
  tossed out. Yeah. I thought he was gonna have a nice little run.
• 1:49:35
  I was kind of surprised that he didn't, but show you know,
• 1:49:41
  he absolutely did. And just to backtrack just again a little bit, going
• 1:49:45
  back to bron Breaker when he came in the ring and you know, obviously
• 1:49:47
  feeling the uh, the the brock lesni role. I think that's a win
• 1:49:53
  for WWE because I think bron Breaker looked better and that in that moment,
• 1:50:00
  doing what he did in the ring, then brock Lesler would have looked had
• 1:50:03
  it been brock Lesler in that moment, because yet, if it would have
• 1:50:06
  been Lesser, obviously you get the pop because Lesser's back, YadA YadA,
• 1:50:12
  he'd have got the pop. But once he got in the ring, what
• 1:50:15
  would we have gotten? Germans clothes lines over the top rope F five's that's
• 1:50:19
  it. We would not have gotten and it wouldn't have looked anywhere near as
• 1:50:24
  kinetic and dynamic as what we got with bron Breaker in terms of bron Breaker
• 1:50:29
  hitting those fucking ropes as hard as he does with all that speed momentum,
• 1:50:32
  spearing the shit out of people and laying folks out like bron Breaker actually gave
• 1:50:39
  us more than three moves and looked good. And it's even that stare down
• 1:50:44
  with Omas that would have that looked more interesting than what we've gotten with a
• 1:50:47
  stare down between Bronck and Omas because we've seen brocken Omas before. Yeah,
• 1:50:51
  we've been there, done that again exactly. At least get a stair down
• 1:50:58
  between bron Breaker and Omas is something new and it's and it's also a challenge
• 1:51:02
  because obviously we've seen bron Breaker coming in here, laying out all these other
• 1:51:04
  folks. I here come to big dude, what you got, Broun what
• 1:51:09
  you're gonna do? So I think, yeah, honestly, I think it's
• 1:51:13
  low key a win for WWE that we got Braun in that spot as opposed
• 1:51:16
  to Lesner. So you know who else looked good was ivar Man. I'll
• 1:51:24
  tell you the best thing that ever happened to him was that other VI game
• 1:51:27
  getting hurt Eric. But he has looked good and continues to look good,
• 1:51:31
  and he had a nice showing. I don't know how many eliminations he hadever,
• 1:51:34
  but he looked good in there. Well, he didn't look like some
• 1:51:38
  fucking ham and egger. You know I didn't agree. Broun Breaker is only
• 1:51:42
  twenty six years old. He's gonna be hard to keep him still down on
• 1:51:49
  NXT. After that rumble showing he had six pounds, Yeah, you would
• 1:51:56
  think he's got to be He's got to make his main roster debut this year.
• 1:52:00
  Now, wait, they name dropped him, didn't They didn't all this
• 1:52:03
  get a call and he's like, oh, it's bron Breaker. I gotta
• 1:52:05
  take this maybe, I mean, and I guess so, and that could
• 1:52:11
  have been them teasing for Friday, you know, obviously improvising in the spot
• 1:52:15
  after telling Lezard gone take it back to the crib. Yeah, that could
• 1:52:23
  have been it. But yeah, it's he shows up. He has a
• 1:52:27
  showing like that. God, I know, we all thought that bron Breaker
• 1:52:30
  was gonna be one of the guys that we saw post WrestleMania last year after
• 1:52:34
  his NXT run, but he's spent a whole nother year down there. After
• 1:52:38
  what he's done in this Rumble, it's gonna be hard hard to keep him
• 1:52:42
  in the NXT. Still, if he doesn't make his main roster debut before
• 1:52:46
  WrestleMania League into a WrestleMania match, he's damn sure got to be called up
• 1:52:51
  right after. Let's talk about entrant number twenty seven. Oh yeah, that
• 1:53:01
  guy, that guy, Yeah yeah, ms Ster showing up in the Rumble
• 1:53:15
  at twenty seven to obviously a massive pop and then proceeding to Terry's TRICEP.
• 1:53:23
  Yeah, surprise, surprise, so big old womp womp. But that being
• 1:53:30
  said, credit to him, because you know, once we got down to
• 1:53:34
  the tail end, which you know, you know, I think Drew came
• 1:53:38
  into twenty nine and then thirty we got a returning Sammy Zing you know,
• 1:53:43
  he got a nice good pop too, which even though that did kind of
• 1:53:46
  feel like a bit of a letdown at least to me, because I get
• 1:53:51
  a lot of people were expecting somebody else, and yeah, I think some
• 1:53:56
  people were expecting bigger names. Especially at thirty. He was probably Okay,
• 1:54:06
  welcome back Sammy. That that cool. Samy's going to be like Edge,
• 1:54:12
  He's always returning. It's like, are you really returning if you have only
• 1:54:17
  been gone for two weeks? I know, right, Sammy's always returning,
• 1:54:23
  always returning. Edge was always returned. Yeah, I mean if you if
• 1:54:29
  you go back and watch the punk stuff knowing that he's going to hurt himself
• 1:54:33
  with the from the Future shock DDT from Drew. Yeah, you can see
• 1:54:40
  him. He's talking to referees. After that. Somebody put a clip up
• 1:54:44
  of him like doing push ups, testing it out, and he does.
• 1:54:48
  He did the exact same thing the last time. He tore his other tries
• 1:54:51
  up when he was in a w in the match against Moxley. It's funny.
• 1:54:57
  Somebody put them next to each other. He does this like push up
• 1:55:00
  thing, trying to test it out. Uh yeah, I mean I guess
• 1:55:05
  it's a bummer for storyline wise. I mean, everything's all a kerfluffle going
• 1:55:10
  towards WrestleMania now. But this guy can't fucking stay healthy. You know,
• 1:55:15
  when we talked about him when he signed, and we talked about it before,
• 1:55:17
  I said, you know, if he doesn't blow up backstage, he's
• 1:55:20
  gonna blow up in that ring. Uh. And you know he looked gassed,
• 1:55:25
  fucking gas. Uh. He didn't look great. I think the fucking
• 1:55:29
  businesses evolved past him in the seven years he was gone. If he wanted
• 1:55:32
  to stay relevant, he should have swallowed his pride and come back a long
• 1:55:36
  time ago. Uh, Because I think the business has passed him by.
• 1:55:41
  And I don't think his body can do it anymore. I I mean I
• 1:55:45
  don't think he I don't feel like he was gassed in that match. I
• 1:55:47
  just feel like he was. He was wrestling as a forty five year old
• 1:55:51
  wrestler who has not been in the ring as often as he should. And
• 1:55:59
  you know what, I it again yesterday and I like the second Drew comes
• 1:56:04
  in, Drew McIntyre comes out twenty nine, that's when ship like hits the
• 1:56:08
  ceiling because because that's where he injures Punk. And I kept my eye on
• 1:56:13
  Punk for basically the rest of the match and how he had to finish that,
• 1:56:16
  and like how he had to like, you know, wrestle with one
• 1:56:20
  arm basically, And and then I don't know if you guys caught Drew McIntyre
• 1:56:26
  during a Claymore kick to Cody Rose and knocking one of his fucking teeth out.
• 1:56:30
  Mm hmmm, yeah. I saw it on I saw it on the
• 1:56:32
  ground. I was like, holy shit, like, damn, Drew,
• 1:56:35
  Why I don't get you some franchise now. I guess he figured if he
• 1:56:42
  injures both of them, he can put himself in the main event, right,
• 1:56:45
  Well, it kind of got most of that, I mean, because
• 1:56:50
  you know, I can't believe it was downd to like a three. It
• 1:56:56
  wasn't even down well it was Goonther right, who is it? Guncer Drew?
• 1:57:03
  Yeah, and that it's cool that they had well Sammy's a was in
• 1:57:08
  there too, Yeah, it came out of thirty a round. It was
• 1:57:12
  cool that they had uh seth Rollins and and Roman Reigns there watching the match,
• 1:57:17
  you know, Yeah, but they had the women awkwardly watching watching TV
• 1:57:23
  while standing up at an awkward angle from the They watch a backstage, but
• 1:57:28
  the man are up in the booths. Yeah, why weren't they in the
• 1:57:30
  box? That didn't make sense. Yeah, I mean you couldn't have Ria
• 1:57:33
  up there in the same booth with Seth like both raw champions, and then
• 1:57:39
  you know, I mean, I guess you could understand, you know,
• 1:57:44
  not being in the same booth with Roman, given his character, and but
• 1:57:47
  she could have been up there in a booth. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:57:51
  I Uh. Did you guys hear what Punk said when he was when
• 1:57:58
  he went and pedigree Cody Rhoades, He goes to coment, I didn't come
• 1:58:02
  here to lose to son of a Plumber, No, he goes, can
• 1:58:04
  you believe I did that? Ship? And then uh, when he had
• 1:58:10
  Cody, you know, before he was gonna hit the GTS, he was
• 1:58:13
  I didn't wait ten years to lose the Dusty's kid. Oh yeah, the
• 1:58:16
  Dusty Kid. Yeah. And then Cody's like, oh, you mentioned my
• 1:58:21
  father got to like super Super Saiyan, right, and he threw m Punk
• 1:58:28
  out. I was like that was kind of a hull hum finishing sequence,
• 1:58:31
  so I think that went on a little lunch and my dad. It did
• 1:58:34
  kind of drag. It definitely didn't have the same intensity as Cody and Guilt
• 1:58:40
  last year, who basically put on a match within a match before eliminating each
• 1:58:44
  other. He had definitely Cody and and and and Punk, which I don't
• 1:58:48
  know. I don't know how much of that you contribute to the fact that
• 1:58:51
  Punk was, as we know now, injured at that time, so maybe
• 1:58:55
  that put a bit of a limitation on what he could do but for reason
• 1:58:59
  to go home sooner. But I still give Punk credit for the fact that
• 1:59:03
  he continued to work and just worked that long, at least in his one
• 1:59:08
  on one spot with Cody while still injured, so I give him credit for
• 1:59:12
  that. But yeah, I would say it was. It was definitely a
• 1:59:15
  dragging pace towards the end of that match, with very slow work towards the
• 1:59:21
  final finish, where again yeah, Cody toss Punk over the top, wins
• 1:59:27
  and then proceeds to immediately point at Roman, seemingly implying that he's going to
• 1:59:32
  challenge Roman until somebody decided to show up all raw, all up in they
• 1:59:39
  feelings this and say no face me instead because my guy got injured, so
• 1:59:47
  I have no opponent. Yeah, I think that's a red Herron. Oh
• 1:59:54
  absolutely, Like the story is still the WWB Championship. That's the belt dusting
• 1:59:59
  of one. And you know Cody's what is he three and oh against seth
• 2:00:03
  Rawlins more? Does he have to prove to seth Rawlins? Yeah, Like,
• 2:00:09
  if Cody wanted to be a dick in that moment, he could be
• 2:00:11
  like, dude, already beat you three times in a row, facing you,
• 2:00:15
  I beat you with one arm, speaking literally the one with the gold
• 2:00:21
  mm. Yeah. But I mean, like I get, I understand.
• 2:00:27
  I think Seth kind of made himself look weak begging for an opponent. Like
• 2:00:31
  I don't know. I think I think Romans the big the big, the
• 2:00:35
  big prize. Sorry, Like Seth's belt just isn't you know. I liked
• 2:00:41
  the like he's not the main guy, I'm the guy. I thought that
• 2:00:44
  was a cool line. Uh, I mean, but ultimately I think his
• 2:00:47
  logic isn't there. It doesn't Romans that's the big belt. Yeah, and
• 2:00:54
  that's the problem with it, because yeah, I agree with you. Like
• 2:00:58
  as as a promo on its own, Seth cut went hell of a fucking
• 2:01:01
  promo there. That was an absolute top tier, top notch promo. The
• 2:01:08
  problem is it don't pass the smell tests because as well as you executed,
• 2:01:14
  as it was delivered, as much as you put all the passion in it,
• 2:01:17
  as much as everything you said about Roman is as true as can be,
• 2:01:23
  it still doesn't change the fact that his bell is still the top title.
• 2:01:27
  He's still the top guy, He's still the big dog. And Cody
• 2:01:31
  did not come back to be the blue collar guy to be the blue collar
• 2:01:35
  champion. He came back to be the guy, the top guy in the
• 2:01:41
  company, and he ain't gonna become that going through you. I mean,
• 2:01:45
  I don't know Seth wrongs. I think is he could have said, you
• 2:01:49
  know, listen, like I've beaten Roman reigns. Roman has never beaten Seth
• 2:01:54
  rons He's beating him in a DH match the last sudden they faced each other,
• 2:02:00
  but he's never pinned him. He's never pinned him clean. Like still
• 2:02:04
  doesn't whose belt is the bigger of the two. I understand that. I
• 2:02:11
  think has a picture, has that picture of Dusty with the belt in Madison
• 2:02:15
  Square Garden. He's framed on his wall. He has that belt in his
• 2:02:19
  collection, like that means of ship. Like you know, I guess we're
• 2:02:24
  getting into what's real and with not but like that's that's the thing he wants.
• 2:02:30
  It's always been the thing. He's even said before, like that's the
• 2:02:32
  belt, not this one. You know. Uh So I think totally reverse
• 2:02:38
  course right now is makes no sense. It would make no sense. That's
• 2:02:45
  not the story. I get. I get that reason, but I think
• 2:02:47
  it's it's also them panicking now the fact that some of these plans that they've
• 2:02:54
  had with guys like brock Lesnar with CM Punk are kind of like they're they're
• 2:03:00
  scrapped, like and also I can't believe we're like totally even glossing over this
• 2:03:08
  is like where does somebody like the Rock even fit into all this because one
• 2:03:12
  way we like it or not, Like he's gonna he's gonna take part in
• 2:03:15
  WrestleMania some some way, right, Like I think they were trying to like,
• 2:03:19
  okay, like we need to wipe away the board and rewrite this,
• 2:03:24
  like maybe we can try some way pivot. Cody to says that way Roman
• 2:03:30
  is free for the Rock, Like I mean, I don't think we're getting
• 2:03:33
  rock from yeah, so I think maybe if Rock is involved, maybe he's
• 2:03:39
  fighting off the bloodline outside the ring to help Cody out or something. Honestly,
• 2:03:44
  I don't know that I'd be surprised if we got any kind of physicality
• 2:03:48
  from the Rock outside of Yeah, maybe like what he's done in the past
• 2:03:53
  two times he's showing up talk to smack drop an elbow. I think will
• 2:03:56
  he be there, almost certainly, but I think we'll probably just get and
• 2:04:00
  and ring segment or something akin to what we got with him, Hogan and
• 2:04:04
  Austin at WrestleMania thirty. I still don't think we're gonna be a in a
• 2:04:09
  match and Punk getting injured. I don't think changes any of that, And
• 2:04:15
  I don't know that I think ww is panicking right now so much as they
• 2:04:18
  are just buying time. If anything. I think that's what this move from
• 2:04:24
  seth Monday was. I think it's just WWE buying time while they figure out
• 2:04:30
  what they're going to do next. So they're gonna probably draw this out for
• 2:04:34
  probably another maybe week or two in terms of this level little suspense, in
• 2:04:41
  terms of what code, Who's Cody gonna choose? And hell, they may
• 2:04:44
  even drag it out if they really will are depending on what their plans are,
• 2:04:49
  If they really struggle to figure out what they're gonna do for WrestleMania,
• 2:04:53
  they could arguably drag this out past the elimination chamber and maybe we have a
• 2:04:59
  roll a Royal Rumble winner and an elimination chamber with neither one of them having
• 2:05:04
  been declared who they're going to face at WrestleMania, and maybe they set up
• 2:05:12
  some sort of drama angle in terms of who's going to decide first, and
• 2:05:15
  now, like you know, Cody's been dragging his ass this whole time,
• 2:05:18
  and now Cody, it's time to shit and get off the pipe, because
• 2:05:21
  you have this elimination chamber winner who could swoop in at the last second and
• 2:05:27
  steal your spot. Maybe the person who's that the elimination chamber could decide and
• 2:05:32
  up screw you, I'm taking I'm taking Roman, and now Cody's stuck having
• 2:05:36
  to face Seth because he wasted time. I don't think that's actually gonna happen,
• 2:05:41
  but they could drag it out that far if they wanted to, depending
• 2:05:45
  on what their plans for WrestleMania are or how long it takes for them to
• 2:05:49
  decide on new WrestleMania plans, because I think it's pretty clear that the original
• 2:05:56
  plan was Cody Roman and Seth Pump. I mean, that's pretty much what's
• 2:06:00
  been reported through multiple outlets, and I think that's why we all picked Punk
• 2:06:06
  to win the Royal Ruffel. Uh. I think we probably I want I
• 2:06:12
  certainly wanted Cody to get to Roman some other way. I guess probably by
• 2:06:16
  winning the Chamber. I suppose. I don't really love him winning again,
• 2:06:23
  but you know, I guess it's for the best. It's better than an
• 2:06:26
  injured Sea and Punk winning and then being out for eight months, you know,
• 2:06:30
  Yeah, and you're gonna come up with some other way to determine and
• 2:06:32
  that would you know, that would be a lot. We don't know for
• 2:06:38
  sure, though, that the Chamber is going to determine anything at this point,
• 2:06:43
  right No, No, I don't think right now. I think we're
• 2:06:46
  just going based on what I mean, we're assuming and I think, yeah,
• 2:06:48
  we're assuming based on but we haven't said that for sure on TV.
• 2:06:54
  Okay, I just wanted to make sure. Yeah, it's an interesting thing
• 2:06:58
  we've never had, like to undeclared h. I gotta think we'll know we'll
• 2:07:04
  know at least one match before, we'll at least know whose Cody's gonna face
• 2:07:09
  before the chamber. I have to imagine. Yeah, if I had to
• 2:07:13
  put money on it, I would say he probably decides before elimination chamber.
• 2:07:17
  And did did did Bailey say she's going to declare on Friday or as she
• 2:07:24
  said anything? She said something about this Friday on SmackDown. I don't know
• 2:07:30
  if she said she'll definitively give her decision, but I think she said maybe
• 2:07:34
  something to the fact, because this was when Nia Jackson was in her face
• 2:07:38
  and she was playing scared and something like yes, like she'd make her decision
• 2:07:42
  this Friday or she has something to say about it this Friday. Uh?
• 2:07:48
  All right, Well, I got some questions for us written by some fans
• 2:07:54
  of some fan questions. Let me play a bumper here. Would you like
• 2:08:03
  to answer a question? Why at this particular time would you like to do
• 2:08:07
  it? I want to ask you a bunch of questions. I wanted to
• 2:08:15
  have them answered immediately. Can I ask you a question? My handle more
• 2:08:20
  question? I'm sorry about that, ohlrighty? First question, Andrew wrote in
• 2:08:31
  as normal, she asked now that Brown Breaker has made one hell of a
• 2:08:39
  debut at the Rumble. If he goes to the main roster, where would
• 2:08:45
  you guys think he would fit. I think he would be a good fit
• 2:08:52
  on RAW, I don't I think he would get lost in the shuffle and
• 2:08:56
  SmackDown between Orton, AJ Styles, l A. Knight, the Bloodline.
• 2:09:01
  I think he was just getting lost in that shuffle of guys. I think
• 2:09:05
  Rawl is the the place for him to be. I think, damn,
• 2:09:11
  twenty six years old, like we like we said, we thought he was
• 2:09:13
  gonna get called up. Last year, they kept him down at NXT.
• 2:09:18
  He became a heel. He had a memorable uh feud with Braun. Well,
• 2:09:26
  god damn, he's been down there so long. I can't remember his
• 2:09:28
  fucking name. Baron. Now they're I think they're a tag team, right,
• 2:09:33
  I think they're I think they're a tag team. Well, yeah,
• 2:09:39
  so they might bring him up and bring KORbin up and keep that as a
• 2:09:43
  tag exactly. So if they do that, I'm all for it. I
• 2:09:48
  just think now's the time. I mean, the man was there to be
• 2:09:52
  called up to fill in a big spot. He filled in. He did
• 2:09:56
  a great job, and I think this is where his reward's gonna be for
• 2:10:01
  it? What do you guys think? Yeah, I think he's gonna I
• 2:10:07
  think he ought to be remaining a tag team with Corbyn at least for a
• 2:10:11
  little while, and then you can split them off and have them feud and
• 2:10:15
  then he can be off to the races, going after a mid card title
• 2:10:18
  or something. But I like the idea of him saying with Corbyn at least
• 2:10:24
  for a little while. But otherwise he's just gonna be somebody's heavy, you
• 2:10:28
  know, or maybe they pick up a third and they get it on this
• 2:10:31
  this gang war that's going on between Crosses group and Last of These group,
• 2:10:37
  and I guess that would be on RAW. I think yeah, I would
• 2:10:43
  probably play some probably on RAW. I know he said in a post Rumble
• 2:10:50
  interview, one of those you know, digital excuses on WW or whatever that
• 2:10:54
  he interviewed, he said something to the fact that he's not done with the
• 2:10:58
  judgment day. I don't know if that was foreshadowing of any sort or a
• 2:11:05
  slip on his on his mind, on his part, just speaking in the
• 2:11:09
  moment, but you know, if there's a level of foreshadowing, then I
• 2:11:13
  guess he could be He could show up at some point in and start a
• 2:11:18
  few with Judgment Day. I don't know really what the story would be unless
• 2:11:22
  it's, you know, he debuts and they try to recruit him because he
• 2:11:26
  know he had a strong showing in the Rumble and they're like, you know,
• 2:11:31
  hey, join up with us, dude, you're pretty bad ass,
• 2:11:33
  and he's like, screw y'all. Something tells me, but that's yeah,
• 2:11:41
  I mean, something tells me he's gonna end up on the main roster as
• 2:11:45
  a babyface at least when he debuts, even though he's a heel now on
• 2:11:50
  on n XT. I think they're going to try to book him as a
• 2:11:56
  babyface when he at least initially. All right, he came out his a
• 2:12:00
  neon, right, he's been wearing like black as a heel. Right,
• 2:12:03
  Yeah, yeah, that's true. Yeah, and he alsously was getting the
• 2:12:09
  dog pound chance. You know, the roots from shades of old Rick Steyder.
• 2:12:13
  He should be a promo backstage, but do it like Scott Steiner math
• 2:12:18
  and he should just nail it ship. Uh yeah, we got oh we
• 2:12:28
  got another question here. It says Doyle's wife, I love it. Uh.
• 2:12:39
  Why do male wrestlers always have wet hair. Oh that's this all the
• 2:12:46
  time. Uh you know what I think? You know, not only does
• 2:12:52
  it it look better Like prime example, there's a wrestler who would come out
• 2:12:56
  specifically whose hair would look way better if it was wet than when it was
• 2:13:00
  dry and fluffy. That was Dolph Zigler. Dolph Ziglar would come out sometimes
• 2:13:05
  dry hair and it'd be like so fluffy on frizzy and all over the place,
• 2:13:11
  and I couldn't take him serious. But wet hair makes a difference.
• 2:13:16
  I think it's easier to call spots too, when you have like your hair
• 2:13:18
  hanging over your face. I think it works for some gimmicks like Bray Wyatt
• 2:13:26
  with his long hair, the Undertaker with his hair, and you know what,
• 2:13:31
  like some wrestlers just look better with longer hair and with with it being
• 2:13:35
  wet. You know. I just think when when you're punching the guy in
• 2:13:41
  a face, the actions that they do make it look some more realistic with
• 2:13:45
  the hair. So yeah, it looks like a boxer getting hit with the
• 2:13:50
  sweat spray off that or my only other answer for you is that Vince likes
• 2:13:54
  it, and he would be backstage with a water bottles springing it down like
• 2:14:00
  I like that good ship. Want to spray it? Get on your knees
• 2:14:03
  so I can spray the top of your head. Yeah, easy, Yeah,
• 2:14:11
  I think uh, I think it probably does. Yeah, it's part
• 2:14:16
  of that. It looks better. And again like Seth Rollins looks better with
• 2:14:22
  wet hair than with a blowout. We've seen him with both looks. I
• 2:14:26
  think some guys, some wrestlers look better on I think the only wrestler I've
• 2:14:30
  ever seen like almost never do wet hair or that could pull out pull off
• 2:14:35
  the dry hair look was a guy like Rick Flair because he had those lots.
• 2:14:39
  Well yeah, yeah, because a is late so haircut, Yeah,
• 2:14:45
  a j ship is late as fucked. But also guy like Rick Flair who
• 2:14:48
  obviously his hair was styled like a motherfucker name. Yeah, people like that
• 2:14:54
  can pull it off there, but you have to have a certain look or
• 2:15:00
  just like naturally good laid hair to be able to pull it off. Most
• 2:15:03
  other people. No, it's just it looks better wet. Like anybody trying
• 2:15:09
  to these freaking Roman reigns will blow out. Yeah, she would not look
• 2:15:13

  I was on Scenic cast again recently and we did Apollo thirteen and a movie
• 2:18:41
  called Lyft on Netflix. I did not make it to the movie Theater One,
• 2:18:46
  which was like Miller's Girl or something, but I didn't. I heard
• 2:18:48
  it was not good and I reviewed like a couple of TV shows I watched,
• 2:18:56
  But the only other thing I wanted to plug in real quick was like,
• 2:19:01
  uh, I just I just read it now. Since they re they're
• 2:19:05
  reshooting the new Captain American movie, all of seth Rawlins scenes were they were
• 2:19:11
  all be cut, dude, Like I was excited, Like we're gonna have
• 2:19:16
  seth Rollins in the MCU somehow, and like he was going for a while,
• 2:19:20
  like the sacrifice to leave WWE for anything, like you know, especially
• 2:19:26
  when you're an active wrestler, like given a window to like go and do
• 2:19:31
  a quick movie and then this, Yeah, they love that ship. That
• 2:19:35
  that's they love being anything close to the mainstream, they love it. They
• 2:19:41
  will gladly give seth Rollins two three weeks off or whatever to go be in
• 2:19:45
  an mcu movie. You're kidding me, But yeah, like now it's like
• 2:19:48
  now we're not getting it from you know. So the rumor is that they
• 2:19:54
  wanted him to put the world title on the line in some fight scene with
• 2:19:56
  Cap, but he refused, so he chose to go in another the job
• 2:20:01
  ship. Yeah, good job out to contain America. I mean, such
• 2:20:07
  as the nature of the business happens all the time, all right, guys,
• 2:20:11
  I mean it basically happened to m JF and the Iron Claw. He
• 2:20:15
  was in it for a second but blank if you blink and you'd miss it.
• 2:20:20
  And no no lines of dialogue or anything. Oh no, you got
• 2:20:24
  to pay extra for lines. Yeah. Well, I mean I guess he
• 2:20:28
  filmed a bunch of stuff and it was only in it for a sweat segment.
• 2:20:33
  So all right, guys, well let's get the hell out of here.
