WWE Raw 4/6/26 Review | CM Punk Drops PIPEBOMB On The Rock, Roman and Ticket Prices! · Solomonster Sounds Off

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Friday night, we talked a lot about what happened with
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Randy Orton, Cody Rhods, and Pat McAfee. And if you
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: missed what happened on Friday night, fear not, because they
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: sure did talk a lot about it tonight here on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Raw, and they showed you highlights and replays
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of what happened. And I think the less set about
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that on Friday here tonight the better, But it's a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: clean slate. I didn't want to think about what happened
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: on Friday night. I wanted to see how they were
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: going to rebound from what overall was one of the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: worst television shows of the year on Friday, because even
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: independent of what we saw with the Pat McAfee stuff
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on Friday, SmackDown was fucking terrible on Friday. And the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: core thing that it needed to do, as all of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: these shows, is get me excited for WrestleMania, and that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: show on Friday did not get me excited for WrestleMania.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So now they were in Houston tonight, hot crowd. This
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: was a very like, Hey, h Town brought it tonight.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I will say that hot crowd. We don't always get
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: those here on Monday nights. So it was nice to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: have a crowd that actually sounded like they were alive
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: for a change. But they were given some stuff tonight
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to like. Nothing better than the opening of the show.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Because CM Punk came out tonight, his WrestleMania opponent was
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: not in Houston. Roman Rains was never advertised for the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: show tonight, He was not scheduled to be there. He
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: was not there last time we saw him. He was
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: put through the announced desk by Punk the previous week.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So CM Punk had to come out here tonight and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: go it alone. We got one more raw before WrestleMania.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: We'll get Roman back on the show next week. Maybe
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: they'll be a contract signing. We were supposed to get
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a contract signing tonight for a different match, and that
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: didn't work out too well. CM Punk had one job,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: come out tonight and get us excited to see him
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and Roman reigns one on one at WrestleMania. People are
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: already excited. Some people may not be. That's all he
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: had to do. CM Punk went out there tonight in Houston,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and I mean, look, some people may disagree with me.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: They may think it's hyperbolic or whatever. He went out
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: there tonight and cut a more explosive promo than he
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: did with the so called pipe bomb that he dropped
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: in twenty eleven talking about bombs. This promo tonight was
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: far more explosive and the debris, the debris field was
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a lot wider than the one that we had back
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in twenty eleven because he took aim at a lot
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of different people. No one was safe. Roman Reigns was
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: not safe. Roman Reigns got torched by cmpunk tonight. Roman
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Reigns was not safe. The Rock was not safe. Vince
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: McMahon was not safe. Pat magafee was not safe. Ari
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Emanuel was not safe. Tko was not safe. Ticket prices
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: were not safe. If you want to get a sense
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of the state of WWE right now, okay, I want
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you to think about this. We win from a promo
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: on Friday Night where Pat McAfee came out cut this
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: work shoot promo and basically talked about the product sucks,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the champion sucks. Ticket prices, well, not ticket price, but
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: tickets are not sold out for the biggest show of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the year, right The product sucks, the talent sucks, they're
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: too small, they're not exciting. The Champions of corporate stooge.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Everything's terrible. Things used to be so much better, right,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: This is the hell of a promo. And we go
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: from that to Raw tonight, where we have CM Punk
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: literally in the middle of the ring. Actually he was
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: outside the ring, but he's on live television on Monday
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Night Raw shouting lower the ticket prices. This is the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: state of where we are right now in WWE, where
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you have talent that is actively going out there, be
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it on their own or being told to. Punk gets
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of freedom, So I wouldn't be surprised if
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: he decided, Hey, you know what I'm gonna do. They
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: told me to go out there and shoot, okay, we'll
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: make up. We'll make up something about ticket prices. He's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: out there saying lower the ticket prices. He's admitting on
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: television that they have priced their own fans out of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: their shows. And this is one of the reasons why
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they don't sell out as much as they used to,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: why WrestleMania is nowhere close to sold out. And the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: only way any of that makes any sense, and the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: only way any of that is acceptable is if it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: setting up TKO actually lowering prices. So if the end
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: result of all of this is that they realize they
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: fucked up and they have priced out a good portion
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of their fan base and they're going to make up
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: for it by actually lowering prices, great, Great. I don't
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: think that's going to happen, though, which makes me wonder
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: as I sit here, like, what's the point of any
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of this. If this man is going to go out
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: there and admit that ticket prices are outrageous and they're
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: actually not going to do anything to fix the problem.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: We are in a very weird place right now when
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it comes to WWE Creative and what we are seeing
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: on television. But I will say this, it made for
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: one hell of an entertaining promo. And by the way,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: all the names that I mentioned where he went after
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Roman Reigns and Pat McAfee and you know, these references
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to Vince McMahon and Ari Emmanuel. We even got a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: veiled reference to Chris Benoit in this promo from cmpunk.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: He left no stone unturned and he was on his
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: A game. The camera was right up there in his face.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: He never broke stride, he never missed a beat. He
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: was feeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he had those
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: goosebumps up and down his arms. He was in the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: zone tonight. And that's the kind of promo that I
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: want to see out of Cmpunk. I don't want cm
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Punk to come out there and cut the same old,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: same ole. I don't want him to come out here
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and talk about how he respects his opponent. I don't
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: wanted to come out here and say is it great
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to be alive on a Monday night? Right? This is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: what cmpunk made his name on, going out there and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: tearing down as many people as he possibly can in
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the most entertaining way possible. And that's what we got
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: here on this show tonight. That's why I say more
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: explosive than the original pipeon. The original pipeon was a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: lot more subdued than what we got from him tonight.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So the opening of the show I thought was fantastic.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And that is how you can really I mean you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: talk about talking people into the buildings. That's the kind
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of promo that will talk people into the arenas. I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: don't know if this will be successful, this one promo
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: will be successful when it comes to WrestleMania, but that's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the sort of thing that we need to see more
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of on the show. Just give cmpunk a reason to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: actually feel like, hey, this guy might be aggravated. Legitimately,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: he might have some legitimate gripes, and if they let
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: him go out there and do his thing, usually what
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you end up with is television gold. And that is
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: what we got tonight here from cmpunk. Best promo that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he's cut since he came back to WWE, and honestly,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: one of the best promos I've ever heard him cut,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: even going back to his original run in the company.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: That's how great that promo was. Now, you may not
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: be a fan of the substance of some of it. Again,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: we've talked about the McAfee Stoff talked about it on
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the sound off and Friday Night. You know my thoughts
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: on that, My thoughts haven't changed since then. But he
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: certainly took it and turned it into an entertaining opening
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: segment tonight. That was the highlight, that was the peak
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of the show. But that was not the only thing
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that happened on this show. The other thing I was
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: looking for was an explanation why did Gunther attack seth
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Rollins on the show last week? Very happy that they
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: found a role for him on the WrestleMania car because
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: it was getting ridiculous, like where the fuck is this guy?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: So when I saw him last week, even though it
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: didn't make any sense, I was like, thank god, we
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: have gun Through on the show. But now they have
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to fill in the blanks right now, they have to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: let us know why. We saw what happened, now give
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: us the why. And they didn't really do that tonight. Instead,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: what they did was, and this is what I thought
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they might do. We had an interaction tonight with Gunther
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and Paul Hayman where the gist of it was, there's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: something that you will owe me down the road that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is very very clearly, very important to Gunther. There's an
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: IOU essentially involved here. So what they're doing is they're
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: rehashing the favor angle from last year. They seem to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: be doing a lot of rehashing Cody getting kicked in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the dick, all the pull apart brawls, the stuff with
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the celebrity involvement in one of the WrestleMania made events,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the IOU or the favor with Paul Hayman. I mean,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you know, stop me if you've heard this before, but
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: it's the most logical explanation for why Gunther would involve
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: himself in business that really he has no business being
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: involved in. Why would he attack Seth Rollins, Why would
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: he do a solid for Paul Hayman or for the Vision.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: There's only one reason that really makes sense, And without
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: even saying the words, I think they basically told you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: tonight why. They gave you the why without actually telling
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you the why, in my opinion, and we'll get into
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: what that was. We had a new WrestleMania match made tonight,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: which has been rumored, and I think based on what
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: we saw last week, seemed pretty clear we were heading
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in this direction. La Knight po La Night. La Night
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: has not had a good month. La Knight has not
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: had a good year, and it didn't get any better
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: tonight because La Knight, his first match back, took the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: l But he's got a WrestleMania match. It's going to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: be La Knight and the USOS taking on the Vision,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: what's left of the Vision, and I show speed. He
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: will officially have what I believe would be his first
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania match, his first match of any kind really since
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he got speared at the Royal Rumble last year by
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: bron Breaker, so they made that official tonight. And in
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: addition to that, we have a new participant in the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: ladder match for the Men's Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania. We
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: knew there were five men involved, including the champion, pent
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: there has been a sixth spot added to that match,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: so it will be a six pack challenge basically for
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the Intercontinental title, and we will get into who is
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: going to be occupying that sixth spot. I enjoyed this
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: show a lot more than I did the show on
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Friday Night. It was not a great show, but it
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: did feel like there was more going on. There was
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: more to be excited about, especially the opening segment and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the stuff in the middle. It was hit or miss.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: There was some stuff I didn't care for. There was
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: some stuff that I thought was fine and did what
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it had to do to kind of move things along
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: as we in some cases limp with some of these
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: matches towards WrestleMania. We certainly got a big demon tease
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for the Finn Balor and Dominic mysterio and speaking of
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: things that they told you without actually telling you, the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Demon is coming back at WRESTLEMANI so for those of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you who were big fans of the Demon, even though
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the Demon died many years ago, you should be very excited.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: The Demon is coming back, and the Demon is likely
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: going to get something that he has not gotten a
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: very long time, many years. In fact, I think he's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: in a pretty good position to actually get a win.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: When was the last time the Demon won? I don't
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: even know. Last time we saw the Demon at WrestleMania,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: he lost, and then we all know what happened to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the Demon before that. I couldn't even tell you the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: last time the Demon actually won a match. So anyway,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: we're going to get into that, and we're going to
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: get into a very scary segment later in the show.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Is a quick segment. It was a segment in the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: back and it was a segment where I am really
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: hoping that nobody got hurt. But man, it did not
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: look good. It did not sound good. Yeah, that noise
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you just heard those were two heads colliding and actually
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: two faces colliding in a backstage segment. Anyway, this is
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: your Monday Night Raw review. It is April sixth, twenty
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: twenty six, so it's my half birthday. I am the

  Speaker 1: hit the like button and we'll check in on that
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: as we go along. Here. By the way, if you
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: missed it, episode nine point fifty eight of the sound Off,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: number two on the episode charts today only behind mister
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Cornett number two on Apple Podcasts all wrestling shows across
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the United States. So thank you for that and all
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the kind feedback on the podcast. Now, last week we
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: saw CM Punk get his revenge on Roman Reigns by
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: power bombing him through the announced desk, the same thing
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that Roman did to him the previous week. And so
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: this week CM Punk the World heavyweight champion. He opened
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the show and he came down to the ring. He
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: didn't look like he was in a very good mood,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: sat down cross legged in the ring. We've seen this
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: world heavyweight title over his shoulder. Who wanted to address
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the people, and Punk said that Houston is a wrestling town.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of history here, which is very true.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Houston is a wrestling city. I believe that's where Bruce
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: got his start working for Paul Bosh. All goes back
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to Houston. Yeah, you mentioned Paul Bosh as well, and
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Paul Bosh got a nice little little pop there from
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the crowd, said He has a lot of great moments here,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: some things that were supposed to happen that haunt him
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to this day. And this is what I was getting
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: out before when I talked about there being a vague
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: reference to Chris Benoa. So what that was a reference to.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I assume Ceampunk was supposed to wrestle Chris Benoit the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: weekend of the Benoit murder suicide. They were supposed to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: have a match for the ECW title a vengeance in
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: June of two thousand and seven. Ben Watt didn't show
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: up for that pay per view. Now we know why
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: it ended up being Cmpunk. I believe in John Morrison
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Marrison won the ECW title. The belief is that Punk
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: was supposed to win the title that night from ben
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Wah and that match never happened. So when he talks
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: about things that were supposed to happen that haunt him
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to this day, that is what that is in reference to.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Unless something else horrible happened to him in Houston that
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I'm unaware of. So he said, this is Paul Bosch territory,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and he loves to hear about the old timers. He
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: can't help but compare himself to the old timers and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: wonder what they would do in times like these. What
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: would Harley Race do? I'll tell you I could tell
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you what Harley. I didn't know Harley Race personally, but
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I could tell you that if Pat McAfee was going
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: around on television talking about how terrible business was and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: how terrible the product was and we can't sell out,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: we can't do this, we can't do that, I think
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Harley Race would have a word with him. I don't
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: think that would end well for Pat McAfee. I think
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Harley Race would be appalled, frankly by the current product.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So the important things happened when We're awake and CM
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Punk is awake and he hits the catchphrase, is it
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: great to be alive? On a Monday night? Here in Houston, Texas,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Roman Reigns is not here tonight. Fans didn't like hearing that. Now,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: there were parts of this promo here where Punk was
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: being booed. They were chanting OTC, they were giving him
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the what chant at one point, which he looked kind
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of annoyed. Was trying to talk through it. I mean
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: it would annoy me too. It's just as a wrestler,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: it has to be the bane of your existence. It
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: serves no purpose. It's the dumbest chant. I mean, seriously,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you talk about low IQ, just absolute dumber than dumb.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: That's the what chant. So he was able to shake
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: that off pretty quickly here, but he said two weeks ago,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: with help from his cousin's, Roman put Punk through the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: announced desk. Punk couldn't wait to get to Madison Square
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Garden last week and he got his receipt. Roman hates him,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: he says, and he says good. He won't trade his
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: authenticity for approval. Being hated by losers is the price
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: he pays for not being one of them. Punk showed up.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: He says, he's an old man, old but not weak.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: He needs to explain why he hates Roman reigns. And
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to do this he climbed up on top of the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: announced desk and he took his jacket off, so you
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: know that he means business. Okay, when the jacket comes off,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it's time to get down to brass tacks. WrestleMania is
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the biggest show of the year. His tools are self
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: made and sharpened by self belief, hard work and spite.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Roman's tools are store bought hand delivered and plastic. Punk
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: understands why TKO sends Roman to Jimmy Fallon. He's manu feted.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: You never know what Punk might say. It's a lot
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: easier to send Roman Reigns out to do media like that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Punk can film a bunch of shows and always shows up,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: but Roman uses it as a crutch to not be there.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Roman shows up late, he leaves early. He puffs his
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: chest out like he's the Rock, like he's Dwayne. At
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: least the Rock is a Hollywood superstar, or was a
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Hollywood superstar. Never misses a chance to get a shot
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: in at the Rock, right remember after WrestleMania last year,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the bald fraud call him a bald fraud, and now
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: he's mocking him not being the Hollywood sensation that he
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: used to be. I think he takes glee in taking
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: shots at the Rock whenever he has the chance to
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: do so, find yourself someone in life to love the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: way that Cmpunk hates on the Rock. So he says
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: he was a Hollywood superstar, just like Roman was a champion.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: And that story is long over. So he says, you
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: know he mentioned a Rock as the bloated cousin being
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: on the board mentions Roman's dad was a pro wrestler
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that got him a job because he sucked at football.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I think he was talking about Roman with that Craig.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe he was still talking about the Rock. I don't know.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I guess that could apply to either one of them.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: They both played football. Yes, the Rock, that's right, Yes,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the Rock is his. The Rock is to cm Punk
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: as Disco Inferno is to Cody Rhoads. That is a
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: great analogy and very accurate. Punk said he paid his
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: dues and he earned everything. Meanwhile, he called Roman a
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: nepo baby who ate dog food for a weird old man.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: If I don't hear the phrase nepo baby ever again
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: on TV, it won't be a day two soon. I
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: could do without any more Nepo baby references. I feel
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: like we get too many of these. They're like pull
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: apart brawls. He said that weird old man expected Punk
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: to take everything and smile, but Punk was able to
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: leave with his dignity because he had fu money. Roman
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: can't control him like he controls his own family. He said,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I can gleefully stand on the bridge and blow it
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: up because bitch, I know how to swim, which is
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a great line. Punk dropped down from the table. He said,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: people might think he's done, but everybody's getting it tonight.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: He wasn't done yet. He turned his attention to Pat Magafee.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I got a good laugh out of that one. I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: think that might have gone over some people's heads. But
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: he was talking about Pat mgafee now. He called him
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the buggy whipped armed hillbilly. Pat wrote a check that
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: his ass can't cash. Pat should call that agent of
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: his and tell him to lower the ticket prices. Pat's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: got a good receipt coming to him. Punk wants the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: ticket prices lowered because he wants all the families to
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: come and see him kick Roman's ass because he see
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: him Punk and he approved this message, and he threw
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: down the microphone. He climbed into the crowd to pose
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: with his people. Uh wow, he didn't just blow up
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the bridge. He knew the whole fucking thing. That's what
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: he did tonight. He was on point. He was on
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a mission out there, and he was feeling it, and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the fans were feeling it too, you know. Even though
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: again there was some booze there at the beginning of
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the promo, and there was some what chance as he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: went deeper and deeper and he got more and more
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: into it. Yeah, it's like warming up the car in
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the winter. You gotta sit there and give it a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: few minutes, but once it's all warm and all revved up,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: you're ready to go. That was CM Punk here in
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: this segment, and they were with him every step of
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the way there towards the end, and they were popping
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: off for all the big comments and all the big
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: burns and everything like that. This was a classic CM
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: And I hate to use the word because it is
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: It is kind of cringey at this point and it's
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: overused and everything, but it's the word that's associated with
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: punk when it comes to these promos, right the pipe bomb.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: You know, he had his own version of the pipe
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: bomb tonight, and I would argue that this one was
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: more explosive than the original. The original was more impactful.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: When we look back on the CM punk promos or
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the great promos in WWE history, the pipe bomb is
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: up there because again it left the mark. People talk
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: about it to this day. It was a seminal moment
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: for him in his career. I look at Cmpunk's career
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: in WWE. Honestly, you talk about like BC and AD
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: before and after, pre impost, the dividing line there is
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the pipe bomb promo, because it really wasn't until that
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: night in Las Vegas. I'm pretty sure it was in
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I think it was the Thomas and Max Center.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: When he sat on that stage and he cut that promo,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: people looked at him differently. People who maybe didn't know
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: much about him, who maybe didn't see his Ring of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: honor work, weren't really sold on cmpunk. And I'm not
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: even just talking about fans. I'm talking about people in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the company. People in WWE who weren't sold on him
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: before that were sold on him after that, and the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: fans reacted to him differently. He went from being a
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: guy on the roster who happened to be a world
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: champion at one point for a brief period of time
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to being a main event player. So that promo will
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: always be like his all time promo. But I'm talking
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: in terms of the substance of what he was able
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: to kind of get into here and just how fired
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: up and I don't know angry is the right word,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: but this promo top that one just in terms of
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the actual source material. I thought this was great. And also,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you know, the thing about it is that blurring the lines,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you know, between fantasy and reality. The great ones are
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: able to do it in just like a masterful way
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: to really make you believe and make you wonder, hey,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: how much of this was real and how much of
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: this was manufactured? And Punk is one of those guys
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: who's very good at that he does. He mentioned the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: word authenticity. There are very few people in wrestling that
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I could think of at this moment right now who
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: have that level of authenticity with a microphone in their
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: hand where you can listen to what they say and
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: it doesn't feel fake and phony and forced and rehearsed
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and memorized, and you know like they're just their heart's
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: not into it. They're just reading something, or it's just
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: they're trying to get something going for a program or something.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: CM Punk is one of those people. CM Punk, Kevin Owens, MJF.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Who else. I'm sure there are a couple of others,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: but there are very few people I would put in
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: that category today, modern day, right now, in wrestling any
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: any promotion. Very few people you could probably count them
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: all in one hand, so blurring the lines between fantasy
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and reality, it can be very effective. And you know,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: one of the things about a eight cm punk promo
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: is you know that works so well? Is that whole idea,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: It's that whole aspect. You get the sense with punk though,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: especially listening to some of the comments he made tonight,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: that it is more reality than fantasy. So it's not
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: hard for him to come up with this material. Even
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: if they go to him and say, hey, mention this.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they went to him and said, hey,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: mention that the ticket prices are too high. I can't
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: imagine that the writer sat in the writer's room or
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Triple H would have gone to him and say, hey,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: come here for a second. You know what you should
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: do tonight. You should mention that our ticket prices are
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: absurdly high. Like, go ahead and mention that in your promo.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe they did. I think it's more likely they sort
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: of gave him cart planche, like here's what we're kind
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of going for here, and you come up with the
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: source material whatever you think is appropriate, and go out
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: there and just speak your mind. Okay, you give him
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the green light, he's gonna go out there and tell
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: you how he really feels. That's one thing about punk.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about whether you agree with
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: it or not. He's going to go out there and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: tell you how he feels. And I get the sense
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that what he was saying out there, he didn't really
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: have to fake it. He didn't have to sit there
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: and go, gee, I wonder what I want to talk
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: about tonight. Right, there are certain things that are on
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: his mind that probably bother him and aggravate him where
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: he really honestly believes like these ticket prices are absolutely
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: fucking ridiculous, as I'm sure many of the wrestlers feel.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I think Randy Orton even a couple of years ago
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: made that comment, right, wasn't he walking through the crowd
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: or outside the building? Somebody caught him on camera agreeing,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: like these prices are insane. It's a joke at this point,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: except it's not funny because they have priced out a
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: lot of families. They have priced out a lot of
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the people that have been giving them money and supporting
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: them and coming to the shows for so long. That's
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons why when we sit here and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: talk about this show every single week, right, Houston tonight
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: was great, But in most cities on most weeks these days,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you watch Monday Night Raw and it's like a fucking
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: funeral parlor. Now, they're not really given a lot of
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: great stuff on a week to week basis. So I
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: don't really blame the crowds necessarily for it, but there
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: is a change that has occurred in these crowds where
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: you are seeing. It has an effect on how loud
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and how invested they are in what they are seeing.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And this is just going to continue now. Again, like
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I said, if the idea here was to draw attention
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: to the fact that ticket prices were ridiculously crazy, and
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: then they can make Punk look like a hero because
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, ticket prices are going to start
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: to come down a little bit great, I don't believe
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: that's the case, though. I don't believe there's some sort
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of plan where it's like, go talk about it and
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: then tomorrow you know, prices are going to get slashed.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, And that's what it's so crazy
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: about it to me. Yeah, again, maybe he went out
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: there and they didn't quite know he was going to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: mention the ticket price aspect, but you're having talent go
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: out on your own show and admit that you are
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: fucking gouging people. This is where we are in WWE
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: right now. That's how bad things have gotten When it
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: comes to that, it's embarrassing. I wouldn't be on television
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: celebrating this and drawing attention to this. I'd be embarrassed.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I'd be ashamed. But it's kind of like when they
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: make the announcements at some of these international shows and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: they'll have to ring announcer or somebody go out there
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: in the ring and say, hey, guess what, we just
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: set the new Gate record, and they announce this to
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the crowd. It's one thing to announce an attendance record,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: but to announce a Gate record, all you're doing is
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: just telling people like, hey, guess what, you know, we
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: just charge you three times as much as we normally
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: would and because of that, we just set the new
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Gate record. Oh yay, yay. It's absurd. They insult their
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: audience over and over and over again and expect them
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to take it. And why not, right because people do
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: still buy tickets, but clearly they're not buying tickets in
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the same way they were a year ago, two years ago,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: three years ago. If this were to lead to actual change,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I think that's fantastic. But I don't honestly believe that's
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: going to happen. So I'm left to wonder at the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: end of all this, what is the point same thing
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: with the McAfee stuff on Friday. You're drawing attention to stuff.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Are things going to really change coming out of WrestleMania
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: in a meaningful way? WrestleMania is one thing. WrestleMania is
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: less than two weeks away. But when you have somebody
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: going out there and saying the product sucks, we need
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: to go back to the attitude era and guys that
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: look like the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: like we got to go back to that. Okay, well
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: are you going back to that? Cause if you're not,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you would be saying these things
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: and drawing attention to these things if it's going to
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: be business as usual after Las Vegvegas next weekend. I
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: don't really understand that. But again, as far as the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: promo that we got here from Punk, Hey, it was
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: a hell of a promo and I think it was
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: the kind of promo that we needed to hear he
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: murdered Roman reigns Now, Roman was not there to defend himself.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: He'll have that opportunity next week. And I honestly there's
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: no way Roman is much better as a talker than
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: he was five six years ago. But there's no way
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that Roman is going to be able to come back
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: at Punk in the way that Punk came at him
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: because Roman Rains is not CM punk on the microphone.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: He's not CM punk. Very few people are. But as
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: good as Roman may be, he ain't no CM punk.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: So CM Punk I thought absolutely murdered him on the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: mic tonight. It's the second week in a row. I
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: will point out to you that we've had references to
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Vince McMahon here on the show without actually saying his name.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Last week it was Stephanie McMahon and co Roads in
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: their segment when Cody alluded to Vince, and so here
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: we had Punk doing the same thing, and I could
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: do without getting any sort of references on the current
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: shows to Vince McMahon. I'm more than happy to go
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: watch some stuff on the vault. Vince is all over
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: that stuff. That's fine with me. I have no issue
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: with that, But I don't really need to hear him
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: even alluded to on these shows, especially after I sat
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: here for the podcast the other day and I was
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: reading through some of the new stuff and the Janelle
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Grant stuff, and yeah, I don't really need to be
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: hearing about that. Sick fuck. So I I certainly don't
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: think it's leading to anything. You better not be, but yeah,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: we don't need to be talking about Vince anyway. Great
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: opening segment, This is where the show peaked. Best thing
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: on the entire show. So Michael Cole and Corey Graves,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: we went back to them in ringside and they were
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: talking about all of the crazy celebrities, all the celebrity
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: involved that we have at WrestleMania this year. Oh yes,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: we're well aware. We are well aware, and they're trying
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: to get Tom Brady. I don't know if they will,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: but they're certainly trying. So they were talking about this
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: because they brought up I show speed and all of
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the recent developments. If you remember last week, he accidentally
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: hit La Knight in the face with the brass knucks.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to do it, didn't mean to do it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: So then they replay the angle, and they're doing angles
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: now from the homes of influencers. Because I Show Speed
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: was at home. He was doing a stream on YouTube
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and La Knight walked into his house, walked into the
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: room where he was streaming, and it ended with him
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: grabbing I Show Speed and throwing him into his setup.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: It would be the equal if La Knight was to
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: barge into this room here. He would be standing behind
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: me and throw me into that camera. First of all,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: that would be amazing, and that will never ever happen,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: not with the dead bolt I have on this thing here,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: because as soon as I saw what happened with I
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Show Speed, I had all the locks changed so you
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: ain't getting in. But it was great. I have to admit.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I think of all the celebrities that we've had so
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: far in this build to WrestleMania, the one who annoys
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: me the least and I really don't mind him being involved,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: is I Show Speed. Speed is one of those guys.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Not to say Jelly Roll doesn't get it. He does,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: and I don't have anything against jelly Roll, but my god,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I mean there were some smackdowns where he had fucking
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: four segments on the show. Get the fuck off my TV.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I show Speed. He's not like cluttering the entire show.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I think I find him entertaining. He's athletic. He's in
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: a six man tag at WrestleMania. You know, he's not
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: in a singles match. He'll be hidden away just enough
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: to where he's not overexposed. And I thought the angle
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: with the streaming stuff What Night was actually very well done,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: So I really don't mind that so much. It's just
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: when you have so many celebrities all at once, feels
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: like celebrity Mania with some wrestlers mixed in. It's not WrestleMania.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: It's celebrity Mania featuring some WWE stars. That's what it
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: feels like. This year, you got four or five, six
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: different people. It's ridiculous. If they were to show up
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: at WrestleMania and wave on camera, you could show twenty
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: different celebrities. That's fine, but like they're involved in angles
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and matches and they've got multiple segments on the shows,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, my god, what the fuck are we
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: doing here? What are we doing? Speed is the one
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: that I don't mind. So anyway, we see Speed walking backstage,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: he runs into Dan Housen. If you remember Dan Housen
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: cursed him and it's been nothing but just downhill for him.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Since that's why he got thrown into his camera, he
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: wants him to take off the curse. Dan Housen offers
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: to lift the curse for a mention, a social media mention.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Adam Pierce shows up, Dan Housen disappears, and Pierce suggests
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to Speed go home, let the USOS and Division work
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: out their differences. You don't need to be here, go home.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Logan Paul and Austin Theory Tag Team Champions. They show
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: up and they stop Speed. They go, oh, not so fast,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: and they disagree. They say, hey, that's stunt that La
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Knight pull that you're home on the YouTube stream. That's unforgivable.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: You're coming out with us to the ring because Austin
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Theory's got a match coming up next. And Speed's not
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: very enamored with this idea. But off they go, and
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: we did get La Knight one on one with Austin Theory.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: This was La Knight's first match since the Elimination Chamber.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: He had a bursa sack issue, apparently it's been resolved,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: and he did have a sleeve on his arm. But
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it's good to see that he's at least medically cleared.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: So he was back in action tonight. So Night was
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: bouncing theory off the lid of the announced deskout side
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Logan Paul was out there in his partner's corner and
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: he provided the distraction. Now I show Speed is out
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: there as well, and he's begging off. He doesn't want
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: to have anything to do with any of this. Logan
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: then shoves Speed into Night. Night didn't see this. Speed
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: is like, ah fuck, like I didn't do nothing right.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: He's trying to tell him he didn't do anything. So
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Night starts to chase after him. He starts to walk
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: after him, and Speed is backing down the aisle. He's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: telling him, I didn't do nothing. I didn't do nothing.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Leave me alone, Leave me out of this. So we
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: hear Jay USO's music. Apparently the new music that they
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: debuted last week for the USSOS has now been I
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: guess they've ditched it. Either that or they hit the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: wrong button. I don't know that music lasted all of
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: one week. So they're back to Jay USO's music, and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: both Jimmy and Jay they walk out on stage. Speed
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: goes to run away. Night catches him. Logan though, is
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: there with a distraction and back in the ring, Theory
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: rolls up up La Knight and pins him. Not a
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: good year so far for La Knight. He has not
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: had a good twenty twenty six so far. So now
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the match is over. Speed is sitting in the corner
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: and he's looking up at the Ussos and he's looking
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: up at La Night. He's begging off and he's saying,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't do nothing. I didn't do nothing. It's not
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: my fault. So Jay is not really buying it. Jimmy
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: gives the high sign, they go for a one D
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: to Speed. Logan reaches in. He pulls Speed out to
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the floor, so Night grabs the mic and he demands
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: that Adam Pierce bring his ass on out, and Adam
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Pierce walks out, and he said the Ussos were the champions.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Speed cost them those titles, so they are no longer
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: the champions, and then La Knight had tried to get
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: some revenge Speed cost him that, so he thinks a
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: six man tag team match of WrestleMania would be appropriate
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: where it's him and the USSOS against the Vision and
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I show Speed and he asks Adam Pierce, what do
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: you gotta say about that? And Pierce says, speed, you
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: should have gone home, but instead you're going to WrestleMania.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Hardy harhar. It was a great line there, Adam Pierce.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: So the match is official. We will have a six
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: man tag team match of WrestleMania again. I don't I
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: don't mind it so much. It's an undercard match. It's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: a way to get these guys on the show. What
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the hell else would La Night be doing. I mean, look,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: is it ridiculous that he is in a match like
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: this when it would be nice if they could come
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: up with some sort of one on one issue for
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: him to, you know, really sink his teeth into like
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: a proper feud. Of course, he's having a terrible year
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: so far, but it's a way to get him on
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the card. It's a way to get the usso's on
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: the card, because you knew they weren't going to leave
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: them off. The tag team titles are not on the line,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: but honestly, who gives a shit. You cannot tell me,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: You cannot tell me that you actually care whether or
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: not the world tag team titles are defended at WrestleMania
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: this year because WWE clearly does not give a shit
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: about those belts. Look at the way that they have
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: treated them over the past year. They don't care, They
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: don't matter. The sad part is neither tag team title
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: on the men's side, Raw or SmackDown are being defended
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: at WrestleMania. The women's tag team titles are being defended,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: but neither set of men's tag team belts are on
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: the line of WrestleMania. Not shocking to me at all,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: not at all. The Raw tag team division is dead,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: the SmackDown tag team division is dead. They're both dead.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: It would be a waste of a spot on the
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania cards. You know who you know who should get
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: a spot on the WrestleMania card. Julia, because she's gonna
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: be the only one, one of the few, one of
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: the few in terms of singles titles. Not I have
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a title defense of WrestleMania unless something gets added this week.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: To me, it's feeling like that's gonna be a spack
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Down before WrestleMania match with her and Tiffany Stratton and
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: maybe Chelsea Green thrown in there. If Chelsea can get
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: cleared That's probably what we're looking at, and I'm pretty
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: sure out of all the singles belts, that'll be the
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: only one that doesn't get defended on the WrestleMania card.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: That's a slap in the face the tag team titles.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Who cares? WWE gave up on these divisions a long
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: time ago. I can't even bring myself to care or
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: be really upset about it. Are you upset that the
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: ussos are not challenging for the tag team titles at WrestleMania?
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: No good me neither. Moving on Michael Cole. They showed
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: him at ringside again and he had to pretend that
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: he was very upset. He was very angry about what
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee did on Friday Night. To Cody Rhodes. He
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: and Pat were like this. Pat used to sit next
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: to him on commentary. He's a Paul by what Pat
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: McAfee did. I'm looking at Corey Graves. I'm looking at
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the look on his face like, I'm sure Corey is
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: very upset that everybody is everybody is hating on Pat McAfee. Now,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's just devastated. But he threw it to
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: highlights of what happened on Friday, and we don't need
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: to get into this bullshit again. You all saw what
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: happened now. They advertised the match on this show between
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Finn Balor and JD McDonough and I was actually looking
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: forward to this match. I was looking forward to that
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the moment that they kicked Finn Balor out of the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: judgment day I said, one day we're going to get
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: a match between these two, and it's going to be
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: really fucking good. I wasn't expecting to get it tonight
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: until they advertised it, and I thought naively. I thought, oh, okay,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: this will be good. We're actually going to get the
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: match tonight. But they pulled a bait and switch. We
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: did not get the match. McDonough was already in the ring.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Balor was making his way out. He looks into the
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: camera and he says he's been waiting for this one
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: for a long time, and then he got jumped. He
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: got ambushed from behind by Dominic Mysterio. They ended up
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: in the ring. Finn was holding his own until dom
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: smashed him in the face with the Triple A Mega Championship.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Mcdonoughh handed Dom a chair and he started wearing Finn
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: out with it, and that's how they closed the segment.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: And look, I get that they want to put more
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: heat on the baller in dom match for WrestleMania. That's fine,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: but you could have done it after the match. At
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: least give us the match that you advertised and then
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: you could do the fuck finished and have Dominic come
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: out and attack him. We didn't even get the match,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: so I didn't like that. I thought that sucked because
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I was genuinely looking forward to seeing that match. I
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: can only hope they're saving it for I mean, do
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: you honestly see them putting that on a pl e?
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: They have five fucking matches on these ples. If we're lucky,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: we'll get five. What pl would that match be on?
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe they'll do it in Italy. Maybe I'm not optimistic
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: about that being a singles match on one of the plees,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: but it would be nice if they went out there
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: and gave him fifteen minutes to have a great wrestling match. Now.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: They aired a pre tape promo later in the show
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: from Balor. It was kind of funny because it's one
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: of those segments. It was shot in a way and
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: they put music to it and highlights of what had happened,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: like earlier in the show, and I'm like, it just
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: felt like something that would have been taped either earlier
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: in the day or last week or something. But we're
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: supposed to believe that this whole package was put together
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: in a matter of like an hour, because it included
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: clips of what happened here where you know, Dom jumped
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: him and the match never happened. But this was later
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: in the show, and Balor is sitting there and he's
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: he said, he basically he said he's bringing back the
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Demon a WrestleMania. He didn't say those words. He alluded
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: to bringing back a side of himself that Dom doesn't know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: one that he buried a long time ago and never
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: thought he would bring back again. And then at the
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: very end, they zoomed in on his face and they
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: zoomed in on his eye, and I don't know if
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: there was like a little demon transformation going on there.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: The Demon is coming back, the demon paint is coming back,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: or WrestleMania. So if you care about that sort of thing,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: I really can't bring myself to give a shit. But
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: if you care about that sort of thing, and you
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: actually still care about the Demon, you should look forward
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: to that at least still have a cool entrance if
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: nothing else. My whole thing with the Demon always was
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: it was I was very impressed by the paint as
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: far as how he would do the paint, especially when
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: he was doing it before he came to WWE, because
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: he like, he would have different types of paint that
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: he would use, I think once he was Venom or
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Spider Man or whatever, and like in WWE, you really
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: can't do that. You get that one design and you
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: got to stick to it so they can make action
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: figures and they can put you in the video game, right,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: you can't be changing it all the time. But like
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I would watch these matches when he was the Demon
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: because like he might be in a feud with somebody
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: who pushes him over the edge and now the Demon
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: comes out. It's like, all right, that's kind of cool.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: But then the bell would ring and he would wrestle
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: exactly the way that he always wrestled. He wouldn't sell
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: any differently, he wouldn't wrestle any differently, he wouldn't act
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: or behave any differently. It was the same fucking person,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: just with paint on him. And I'm like, so why
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: am I supposed to care? But I don't know. People
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: pop for the Demon. They thought it was cool. I'm like,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: all right, if you say so. Yeah, Venom Carnage, the
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Joker Roman killed the Demon. He did, he did? I know.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: He brought it back for the hell in a seal
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: match with Edge that he was supposed to win, and
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: then Vince McMahon said, no, Edge is gonna win. So
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: he lost. But yes, the Demon officially died when he
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: slipped and fell off the top rope and the top
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: rope broke because the Demon was so heavy. Of course,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: top rope broke. Earlier today, Michael Cole had the chance
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: to sit down with AJ Lee and he was going
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: to conduct an interview with the women's Intercontinental champion. Said
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: he can't believe that he's sitting here with her, that
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: she's heading into her first WrestleMania match in eleven years?
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: How do you feel? And before aj could really get
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: into anything, Becky Lynch shows up. She calls Michael Cole
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: the worst interviewer ever. Cole leaves says, I'm not going
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: to take this. Looks over at aj He says, good luck.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: So Becky sits down right in front of AJ so
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: that she remembers AJ's last WrestleMania. AJ gave her a
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: hug in the back with her fake niceness. She saw
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: her replacement and what was coming for her, so she quit.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: This won't be like the Elimination Chamber, she said. WrestleMania
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: is her home. AJ tells Becky she's proud of her.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: She's made history, but none of that happens without her.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: She shattered the glass ceilings, She knocked down doors for Becky.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: The company kept calling for AJ, and they never forgot her.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Becky's daughter, her favorite wrestler is AJ Lee, and AJ
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: will see her at WrestleMania. So AJ left and Becky
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: threw a fit and was all pissed off. It's fine again.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: I can't say I'm terribly excited to see this match again.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: They really have not done anything on television to get
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: me to feel a level of excitement for this match
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: that I simply cannot bring myself to feel. I think
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: they could go out there and have a good match.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: They didn't have a bad match at the Elimination Chamber,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: but this is the rematch, and I don't know. I
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: just I don't really care. Sorry, doesn't really feel like
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: a big WrestleMania match to me. We had Bailey with
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Lyra Valkyria in her corner taking on Lash Legend, who
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: had Naya Jacks in hers as Bailey came out. This
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: happened during the commercial break, so I don't know if
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: everybody had the chance to see this, but Bailey is
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: in the ring. She slipped, She slipped and she fell
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: and she kind of rolled over and she had a
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: good laugh about it. Michael Cole was rasing her for
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: it as well. The two of them never missed a
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: chance to needle the other anyway. Naya tripped Bailey off
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the ropes. Late in the match, Lash charged into the corner.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: She ended up hitting the ring post. Lyra got destroyed
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: by Nya on the outside that brought out Charlotte Flair
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: and Alexa Bliss. Bailey did a dive out onto the pile.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: She went back after Lash. She got caught though with
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: a right hand. Lash tried for a super plex. Lyra,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: though reaches up and she holds her ankle and Bailey
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: falls on top of Lash, and then Lyra proceeds to
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: hold down Lash's boot so she can't kick out, and
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Bailey gets the three count who wins the match they
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: have not done. I mean, you talk about matches that
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: they have not done a great job of. In terms
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: of the build to WrestleMania, the women's tag team stuff
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: has been the worst stuff they've done on this road
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: to WrestleMania, and it's not really any of their faults.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Although I really didn't think a lot of the matches
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: that we've been seeing on TV over the past month
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: were very good. The one we got last week was
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: the best of the bunch that I've seen. That was
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Bailey and Lyra against Charlotte and Alexa. I thought that
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: was good. But yeah, the rest of this stuff, it's
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: just paint by numbers. It's not terribly interesting, it's not
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: terribly exciting. I don't really have a whole lot to
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: say about it, other than later in the show during
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: the commercial Off course, it was during the commercial break
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Kathy Kelly was interviewing Bailey and Lyra, and Bailey I thought,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: cut a hell of a promo. That's the best promo
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I've heard Bailey cutting forever. So if you can track
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: it down somehow, go ahead and do so. You know,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: it was brief, It wasn't out of this world like
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: the CM punk promo at the beginning of the show
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: or anything. But I thought it was a really good promo.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: They should have aired that on TV. So then it
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: was time to burn it down. Oh I was ready
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: to burn it down. On Friday night, let me tell
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: you Seth Rollins made his way out to the ring
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: dressed in all black. The man in black no Ninjas tonight.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: But the man in black says he'd been waiting six
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: months to walk down the ramp and for the people
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: to sing that damn song. So the people started singing
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: his entrance music. He says it WrestleMania. He goes one
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: on one with Gunther, said, he's still putting the pieces together.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: They don't have a long history. There's no personal issues there,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: there's no animosity there. The only logical conclusion that he
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: could come up with is that Gunher has some sort
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: of business relationship with Paul Hayman. So Rollin says he
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: has two missions in his head. One is to take
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: back the World Heavyweight Championship and the second one is
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: to kill the Vision, which shouldn't be too hard. I mean,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: the Vision's already half dead. Said he's not worried about Logan,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Paul and Austin theory they've got an issue with the
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Ussos that won't end well for them. Bron Breaker on
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: the shelf, Bronson Reid on the shelf. Paul Hayman left
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: all alone to fend for himself, and he put Brock
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: on a silver platter for Obafemi says Gunther has made
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: it personal. So as he's talking about Gunther, guntherher attacks
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: from behind, goes to put him in the sleeperhold. Rollin's
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: clearly suspected something was brewing. He had it scouted. He
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: slipped behind him. He put him in a sleeperhold. Gunther
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: was able to get out of it. Rollins tried for
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: a quick stomp. Gunther rolled out to the floor instead,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: so Rollins did a suicide dive. Gunther caught him though,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: and propelled him over his head and over the announced desk. Rollins, though,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: came right back. Adam Adam Pierce is out with all
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: the officials to break them up. Gunther caught Rollins with
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: a cheap shot, big boot, put him down. Pierce told
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: him get the hell out of here. So Gunther went
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: and he headed to the back. Rollins was not happy.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: He was fuming mad he was pacing back and forth,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: but that's how it ended. But then they cut to
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: the back and we see Gunther is walking and he
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: runs into Paul Hayman. Haymond said, I don't know why
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: you did what you did in Madison Square Garden because
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: to my knowledge, there's nothing personal between you and Seth.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: So all I can say to you is that I
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: owe you a very big thank you. And Gunh said,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: it's very personal for Seth Rolin. That's good because it's
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: personal for me too, just not for the reasons that
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Seth may be thinking. As far as Paul Haman goes,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: he put his hand out for a handshake. Haymon's all
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: smiles and he shakes his hand. Gunther then pulls him
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: in and gets serious and he tells him Haymon owes
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: him so much more than a very big thank you.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: There it is there, it is. He said everything that
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: you need to say without saying the actual words. It's
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: the favor all over again. It's a variation to the
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: favor angle that we had with Sampunk and Paul Hayman
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: last year. And I think I even said this last
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: week that not only would this potentially be the direction
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: they go in, but you don't have to have Gunther
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: expose his reasons right away. You can wait until after Wrestlemanie.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: If they wanted to, they could wait a couple of
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: months or more than that, because because the favor the
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: only thing that realistically makes sense here unless it ties
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: into the World Heavyweight Championship in some way. If the
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Championship ends up in the vision with bron
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Breaker or something like that, and maybe he wants a
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: title shot down the line, I don't even think it's
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: about that now. Gunter made a comment and hear about
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: how well it's personal for Seth. It's personal for me too.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: He just doesn't realize how much or why we didn't
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: get much of an explanation here. That part of it
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: was disappointing. I was expecting more out of this. They
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: teased it, they didn't really tell us. So if there
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: is more to this, we're gonna have to wait and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: find out. But as far as what he said to him,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: and it's pretty clear to me and what makes sense
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: is that he is going to bank on this favor,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: let's call it, because he's going to want a match
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: at some point with Brock Lesner, and I think that
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: match is going to happen in Minneapolis at SummerSlam. Whether
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: or not you believe that brock Lesner really would be
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: done at that point, even if they build it as
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: a retirement match if he were to lose. Do I
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: think brock would be done forever? No? I don't, even
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: if they build it that way. This is not John Cena,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: this is not aj Styles. Brock Lesner can do this
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: for many more years if he wants to. He doesn't
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: wrestle that many times a year to begin with. And
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: if the Saudi's come calling for wrestle Mania next year,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: it's going to be Saudi Mania next year. And if
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: they got a big payday waiting for brock Lesner because
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: they need star power, ESPN needs star power, they flash
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: a bunch of dollar bills in Brock's face. You don't
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: think brock Lesner isn't going to be like, all right, sure,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: let's do it. Oh no, no, no, Well, I have integrity.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I care too much about the promise that I made
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: that if I lost this match, I would be done
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: at Wrestleman. Get the fuck out of here. So even
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: if they were to advertise it that way, do I
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: honestly believe that Brock is going to be done, done
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: for good in Minneapolis this year. I don't, but it
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: does feel to me like that's the Summer Slim match.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: It's going to be gunn theer as the career killer
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: trying to end the career of Brock Lesner. There's your
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Summer Slam match. The only question now is how long
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: does it take for him to reveal on television what
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: it is that he wants from Paul Hayman, because you
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: know it's going to come back around on them, and
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: I don't mind them doing the match. But here's the thing.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: If I'm right, If I'm right, and this is the
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: direction that they are going in in the Summer Slam
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: match is going to be Gunther and Brock. That makes
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: it very, very likely that Brock Alesner beats Obafemi at WrestleMania,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: and not only beats Obafemi, but that it would be
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: a one and done. I don't even know that Brock
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: would wrestle at all between WrestleMania and Summer Slam. What
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: show would he wrestle on. I mean, maybe they have
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: him on the International show. Maybe at the end of May.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: I guess it's possible, but I'm not even convinced that
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: we would see Brocklesner back in the ring again until
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: the beginning of August. So that's the thing I don't like.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: If we get Brock and Oba at WrestleMania and it's
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: going to be one and done and Brock beats him
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: and again, I'm not saying there isn't a way to
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: do it where you could do it without killing Oba Femi,
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: but man for him to lose and not run that
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: back again, I don't like that at all, And so
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: that's the only issue I really have with it, you know,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Otherwise I don't really have any I don't have a
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: problem with him doing guntherro and Brock at some point,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: but if that's going to be the next one and
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Oba loses and doesn't have the chance, they don't have
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: the chance to circle back around so he can get
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: that w back. I'm not a big fan of that,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: but I think that's what we're looking at here. Felt
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: that way to me. But it's also why Gunther has
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: to win his match, you know, with Seth or WrestleMania
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: and that much. I said that a few days ago.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: It's like Bron Breaker is medically cleared, supposedly, you can
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: have him make an appearance at WrestleMania. You can have
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: him factor into the finish. It doesn't have to be
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: a clean you know, Seth Rollins passes out in the
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: sleeper hole, like, no, you don't have to do that.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: The important thing is that Gunther picks up the win
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: and Seth Rollins even if he loses his first match back,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: if his loss is caused by bron Breaker, well then
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: they go off and do their thing, you know, backlash
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Gunter has to win that match of WrestleMania WW.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: We may look at it the same way. For Brock.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: This is a must win for Brock. We gotta keep
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Brock strong. Remember that comment John Cena made about his
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: match of Wressel Poluzu or Brocklaser. Why Brock had to win.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Brock has to look strong. We gotta make Brock. I
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: will never not laugh at the way that he phrased it.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: We got we gotta make Brock really really okay. Sure,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: as absurd as that sounds, this is how they think
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: we had Penta, Dragon, Lee and Javon Evans as a
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: tag team. All three men will be adversaries in the
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: latter match of WrestleMania. They were tag team partners tonight
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: against the Americanos El Grande Americano Kaiser and Los Americanos
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Ryo and Bravo. They mentioned that Penta will be defending
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: his intercontinental title this Saturday on the Triple A Show
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: against El Ejdel Vikingo. Something tells me, U hmm, my
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Spidey senses are tingling, and they're telling me the Vikingo's
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: chances in that match of winning the championship they're not
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: very good. I actually thought there was a chance that
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: they would add a sixth spot and maybe they would
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: throw Vikingo in there, throw the Undertaker a bone, let's
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: put one of his Triple A guys on the wrestle
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Media card. Plus, you know, it's a Vikingo in a
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: ladder match. Kind of makes sense. But then we got
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: the announcement at the end of the match that that
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: spot is going to somebody else, so it doesn't look
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: good for Vikingo. On the Triple A Show, Penta landed
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: this great double DDT on both Americanos. At one point,
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Dragon Lee went for a styles clash on Ryo Bravo
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: broke that up, hit the red Dot, Lee got his
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: styles clash on Bravo. El Grande broke up the count Dragon,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Lee sent him packing to the floor. Penta destroyed Ryo
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: with a destroyer, got destroyed with the Destroyer on the apron,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: and then Javon Evans he flew from the heavens. I mean,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: my god, the height, the height that he got for
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: this cutter, this og cutter that he hit on Bravo
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: and he wins it for his team. I had fun
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: with this. I thought it was a fun match. It
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: gave us a small taste of what we could expect
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: from the three baby faces at WrestleMania. Javon Evans is
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine what he's going to do. O
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: G cutter from the top of a ladder very possible.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: I think that's exactly what we're going to get at WrestleMania.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be craziness. Now. When the match was over,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: we heard bu Yaka. Remember William Shatner. William Shatner does
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: the WWE theme songs, one of the all time classic
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: segment raw bu Yaka bou Yaka. Raymister, believe that guy
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: is almost one hundred years old Is he like ninety
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: five or something? God bless him? He doesn't look it?
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Look it up? How old is uh? I know he's
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: ninety something. How old is William Shatner? He looks good
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: for ancient Raymisterio. Speaking of ancient Raymisterio comes out down
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: to the ring, big ovation. He hugged Evans and Lee
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: and Penta. Hey talked about how cool it was to
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: see Penta's journey take him all the way to the
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Intercontinental Championship. Mysterio said that he missed WrestleMania last year
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: due to an injury, and so he had a conversation
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: earlier with Adam Pierce because there will be a sixth
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: spot in the latter match at WrestleMania, and that spot
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: is going to Raymystereo, and everybody cheered pen to look
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: very happy about it. So Raymistereo got cleared after all,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: in time for WrestleMania. I guess they got tired of waiting.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Had to get Gunther on TV because the rumor all
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: along had been Gunther and Raymisterio, And if you look
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: at the Dragon Lee stuff they did at the beginning
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: of March, that made sense that that would be the
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: direction they would go in and Ray gets cleared a
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: week after they bring gun through to TV. That's kind
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: of weird. I'm glad they brought Guntherro back when they did,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: but it seems like they just missed each other. Frankly,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Gunther and Rollins is a bigger match anyway, so I
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: don't really mind it. The only thing I have to
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: say about this is I'm glad Ray made it back
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: in time for Mania. But man, you know, Ray is
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: fifty years old and he's coming off a couple of
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: fractured ribs that he had to heal up from, and
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: his first match back from the broken ribs is going
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: to be a multiman ladder match. Good luck. I don't know, man.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's very happy to be on the card,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: but you put this fucking guy in a ladder match
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: his first match back from injury. What are you trying
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: to do to this man? Rhea Ripley and EO. Sky
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: reunited again as tag team partners here for one night only.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: They took on Meechen and BFAB. Yes they have migrated
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: over to Monday Night Raw. We had Jade Cargill, the
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: WWE Women's Champion on Raw in the corner of Meechen
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: and BFAB and I don't know. I mean, Jade was
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: wearing what I can only describe as this giant, this
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: giant red furry flotation device around her shoulders. It's the
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: best way I could describe whatever the hell this thing was.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: But before we got into the match, here we got
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: a video promo with English subtitles from Osca. No Kyrie's saying,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: it was just OSCA cutting a promo on Eosky. She
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: says she loved EO. EO's selfishness though destroyed what they had,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: and she accused EO of trying to take Kyrie away
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: from her. She said that she paved the way to
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: WWE for the both of them. Said she sacrificed everything
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: and never expected thanks because she did everything out of love.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: Oscar said that EO took advantage of her kindness. She
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: said that she would teach EO one last lesson in
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: the ring, and then she switched to speaking in English
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: and she said that she will take everything away from her.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: This was really good, so really good promo. No mention
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: of WrestleMania though, even when they came back and the
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: announcers were talking about what we just saw. They never
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: mentioned it being a part of WrestleMania. Clearly they're going
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: to have a match, and that match should absolutely happen WrestleMania,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: but if it does, there was no mention of that here,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: so that's a little worrisome. We'll know by tomorrow. We
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: will know by tomorrow what the answer is on that,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: but there was no indication of when that match would
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: actually happen. So in this match here, while the referee
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: was distracted, there was one moment where Jade tripped up
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: Rhea to prevent her from tagging in Eo. Eo then
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: rolled up Befab with a flash pin to win the match,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: and that finish came out of nowhere. When it was over,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Jade got in the ring, She laid out Eo, Meechin
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: grabbed a kendo stick from under the ring. Ripley got
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: into the ring. She tried to even the odds. She
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: ate a terrible looking pumpkick from Jade. Did not look good,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: so she put a stop to that. And then the
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: batties they held Ria down in the corner and Jade
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: was just taunting her and there's nothing Ria can do
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: because she's being restrained here by Beachin and me fab
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: and they're holding her and she can go anywhere. And
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: so Jade goes and she grabs the kendo stick. She's
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: gonna make Rihea watch. She picks up the kendo stick
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: and she just goes to town on EO with it,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: smashes her with it a few times, and then she
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: drops EO with Jaded and then Jade left with her
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: minions as Rio went over to EO and cradled her
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: in her lap. This was all very mellow, dramatic. The
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: only thing that was missing was Ria looking up at
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: the heavens going no, no, no, this really dramatic way,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: or let me take that off the fuck. That's the
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: only thing this was missing. But it was the only
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: card they had to play as far as what could
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Jay do on a personal level to really get it
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: Rhea Ripley. It's the only thing they could do. Have
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: her beat up her best friend right in front of her.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: The only thing I don't like about it is that
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: it just made EO look so weak. Actually, if they
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: are preparing for her to get in the ring of
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania in her own match with Osca, and here she
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: was just like a bit player just to try to
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: get this match over here, match that nobody cares about.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: So that was my only issue with it. And I'm
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: telling you, if she's not in the match of WrestleMania,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: if they're going to do EO and OSCA some other
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: time and leave them off the car, I'd be very
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: upset about that. This week's episode is sponsored by wis.

• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: this is the part of the show where we got
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: the Finnbalor promo that I mentioned earlier on the video
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: promo where he teased the demon for WrestleMania. Then it
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: was backstage to the judgment day. Dominic Masterio was there
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: with Live Morgan and Jad McDonough and Raquel Rodriguez, and
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: Dom was wondering what did what did Balor mean by that?
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't understand what did he mean
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: by that? So McDonough tells Dom, look, we need to
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: worry about your deadbeat dad more than we do. Finn
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: don't worry about him. So they go off to talk
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: to Adam Pierce, so that leaves Live in Raquel, and
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Raquel exits because she wants to or Live wants to
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: have a conversation with Roxanne Peress, who returned last week.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: Roxanne's been away for a while. She may be away
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: for a while again after what happened here in this segment.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: So we have Live and we have Roxy and she
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: tells Roxanne, look, I know it was Finn who brought
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: you into the judgment day And before the conversation could
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: go any further, she gets attacked Live more does from
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: behind by Stephanie Vicuer. Stephanie shows up and just blasts
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: Live from behind with a shot, and she knocked Live
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: right into rock sand because they were basically face to face,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: and she hit her so hard. Live went face first,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: head first into rock sande You could hear the thud
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: of their skulls cracking together. I can only hope that
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: it was their foreheads and that Lives fucking head didn't
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: go into Roxane's face or cheek or something like that.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: It made this horrible noise. I'm gonna play this now
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: when I play this little three second audio clip here,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: you're gonna hear something at the beginning of it. That
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: is their heads colliding. Okay, you heard that noise there
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: at the beginning, that's their skulls colliding. It looked absolutely brutal.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: Roxanne went down, she wasn't moving. Live went down. I
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: didn't see blood or anything, you know, coming from Live's
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: head or anything. But Stephanie then picked her up, and
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: Stephanie rammed Live's head into the flat screen behind them,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: cracked the flat screen, So I guess that was kind
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: of cool, and Live was laid out on the floor,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: but man, it looked nasty. It really did, and Roxanne
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: looked like she just got killed. Hopefully there's no broken
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: orbital bones or concussions or I'm sure they're being tested
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: for that. This close to WrestleMania, I mean, Roxanne doesn't
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: have a match, but Live does, so I mean hopefully
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: they're okay, but also you worry about WrestleMania, which is
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: less than two weeks away. Yeah, it was an accident,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: It wasn't anything that was intended. But man, I hope
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: Roxanne is okay. People are saying she is reckless Stephanie
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: was reckless for for for what for throwing a forearm?
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: How is she? How is she reckless here? I mean
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: it was an accident. I'm not aware of her having
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: a reputation for throwing heavy hands. Here. They were very
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: they were too close together, and liv wasn't expecting it
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: at that exact moment, and she just went forward full force,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: and it just seemed like an accident. I mean, it
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: didn't look reckless to me, But I don't know. Well,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: we'll wait and see if there's any update. I suspect
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: if there is, we will know by tomorrow. But hopefully
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: everything is okay Man. That is nasty business there. They
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: closed the show though, with Paul Levec coming out with
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: Adam Pearce for the show closing contract signing for rest
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: between brock Lesner and Obafemi, or as Paul Hayman calls him,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: obah Femme. That's how Paul Hayman talked to his children
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: as he was raising them, trying to teach them different
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: words and vocabulary lessons. He would really emphasize every syllable
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: as he spoke. He still does it to this day
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: with all of us. So then they went to commercial
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: as Triple H was making his entrance, and all throughout
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: the commercial break they played his music and he had
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: time to play to the Crab, which I'm sure he
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: very much enjoyed. So when they came back, Adam Pierce
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: was cut off by Paul Hayman's arrival. He called this
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: the most anticipated contract signing in years, if not ever,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: in WrestleMania history. He introduced Brock Lesner. For some reason,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: they then showed the copyright box in the corner of
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: the screen like the show was ending, even though the
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: segment hadn't even begun yet, so that was kind of weird.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: So Brock circled the ring outside, he got in, He
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: shook hands with Triple H. He shook hands with that
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: in Pierce, and this crowd was amped up. They were
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: ready for Oba Femi men. They were chanting this guy's name.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: They were a barkin' oo woo. I mean there, let
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: me tell you, these people were excited to see this
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: man come out. And then it was time for his arrival.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: It was time for the ruler to make his way
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: out to the ring. Just don't ask him for an
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: autograph on the street. I agree with him, By the way,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: leave the man alone when he's getting into a fucking
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: uber Leave the man alone, please. But again, you listen
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: to this crowd and you can tell. I mean, and
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: it's not just in Houston. I mean, it's been every
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: week since he came out to accept Brock's challenge. Like
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: they are behind him one hundred percent. He looks the part.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: He is one of the few people that they have
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: been able to match up with brock Lesner who looks
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: like physically looks like he could destroy brock Lesnar. Brock
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: Lesner usually dwarfs a lot of the other people who's
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: in the ring with, so you know he fits the
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: role in that respect. But he just comes out. He
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: just has this intimidating presence about him. He is the future.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: He is the future. He can be the guy in
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: this company. I think the fans feel that they're trying
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: to will it into existence. You know, they're fully behind him.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: So he marches and struts his way down to the ring.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, this guy seems like a sure thing.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: All they have to do is try not to fuck
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: it up. I think they can avoid that. It would
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: seem like a no brainer. But with this company, I'm
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: not so sure. So before Oba could even get through
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: the ropes, Lesner attacks him. As he's trying to get
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: into the ring. Lesner jumps off the apron, Oba catches
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: him and runs him backwards into the ring post. Oba
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: then tosses Lesner back into the ring follows him inside.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: Lesner went for a sup plex. Oba didn't really go
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: I think he was trying to do like an overhead suplex,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: and Oba didn't really go fully over for it. So
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: it was a little awkward, a little scary, frankly, but
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: they both went through the table that was in the
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: ring for the contract signing. So security pulls Lessner in
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: Oba apart, and I'll give you one guess. One guess
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: what we got. We got a pull apart brawl. Yes,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: back Brock into one corner. Brock Oba Brock, Oba back Oba.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what I'm saying. Back Oba into
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: the opposite corner. Brock breaks free, He lunges at Oba.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: They separate them again. Oba breaks free, he lunges at
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: Brock pull him away from Brock. Now Brock picks up
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: one of the office chairs. Now this was scary because
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how hard he was gonna throw this
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: chair that chair will fuck you up. You can kill
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: somebody with that chair. He throws the office chair and
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: then but takes the chair and he throws it, and
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: this is how they go off the air. That's it.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: It was over. It was a very abrupt ending and
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: the contract was never signed. Most anticipated contract signing. Paul
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: Hayman said, we never even got a sign contract out
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: of it. These pull aparts are completely overdone. The fans
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: were into it here because it's brock Lesnar and Obafemi.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: You got two big beasts in there. These people want
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: to see these two men fight, and they did for
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: about thirty seconds and then it was over. But the
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: way they positioned this segment, they built this all throughout
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: the entire night. It was the show closing segment. They
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: actually got brock Lesnar to hang around until the end
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: of the show. That almost never happens. The way they
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: positioned this made you feel as if this is the
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: main event of WrestleMania, And honestly, of all the matches
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: on the WrestleMania card, this feels like the main event
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: of WrestleMania, at least for one of the nights. Do
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to close the show with it. No,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: I happen to think they're going to open up one
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: of the night's. Probably Night two is what I'm thinking,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: because that's the night where the first hour of the
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: show airs on ESPN. So if I had a venture,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: a guess that's where I think that match is going
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: to take place. But this feels like a WrestleMania main
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: event here, and the fans are into it. Man, they're
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: pumped up every time these guys come out, and really
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: they haven't. They haven't done anything yet with these two
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: that makes me look at it and go, oh man,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: they fucked it all up. Like they've managed not to
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: fuck this up, and everything they have done has made sense.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: They don't want to give too much away. Tonight we
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: got some physicality, but not too much physicality. Last week
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: was it last week? Right? They didn't even touch the
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: Two weeks before that they had Oba go over on Brock.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: He looked like a world beater. They've done everything right
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: so far. They got one more week left. Maybe we'll
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: get the actual contract signing next week, although you can't
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: do more than one contract signing in one night, so
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: take your pick. We either get Brock and Oba actually
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: signing the contract that they were supposed to sign or
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: we get Roman in Punk because we had a contract
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: signing for Cody and Randy, so I don't know why
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't have one for Roman and Punk. But they
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: have managed to book this, I think, flawlessly. Of all
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: the matches heading into this show, they have yet to
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: make a mistake with these two. I didn't like how
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: abrupt they went off the air where you know that,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't like. I know they didn't want to give
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: too much away. They wanted to keep people and that's fine,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: not like I kind of missed that. Honestly, there were
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: many years where we would have episodes of Raw and
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: to use a Pat McAfee example, go back to the
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Attitude era. How many times did you have an episode
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: of Raw, probably with Stone Cold, that ended with just
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: mass chaos or people fighting as they went off the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: air and Jim Ross screaming and ranting and raving, especially
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: if it was a go home show to a pay
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: per view. Right those days where it was just mass
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: chaos and they left you like, oh no, don't go
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: off the area, like you're not ready for the show
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: to end. I haven't felt that way about Monday Night
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: raw in many, many years, so there's nothing wrong with that,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: but it just felt like men they could have given us,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: you know, a little bit more there at the end
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: than what they did. It was a better effort tonight
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: than what we got on Friday. I know that's a
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: low bar. I mean that bar is in fucking hell,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: I know, but it would have been hard to not
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: put on a better show than what we had on Friday.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: It was a hot start. The punk promo I thought
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: was excellent, easily my favorite part of the night. The
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: closing segment a little abrupt, but I still enjoyed it.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: And the stuff in the middle was very hit or miss,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: you know, the six man tag I thought that was solid.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: Everything else pretty much that we got in the middle, eh.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: Not really a fan, not really a big fan. I
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: think nothing overly exciting, but I would say most of
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: the stuff in the middle at least was decent. Now
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: they announced that tomorrow morning, nine thirty five am Eastern Time,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: Joe Tessitore is going to be on ESPN Get Up
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: to announce the full card for WrestleMania Night one and
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania Night two. I assume that includes the match order.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think they said the match order. They just
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: said we will know what matches are airing on what night.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: So like when I said before, are they doing EO
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: Sky and Oscar at WrestleMania? Are they not doing it?
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: We'll know by tomorrow If EO and Oscar have a
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: match at WrestleMania, it will be announced tomorrow morning. We've
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: all been figuring that Roman in Punk would get the
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: main event of Night two because there are people out
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: there who think, well, Night two is the real main event,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: and the World Heavyweight Championship since it was introduced, has
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: not had the night too main event of WrestleMania, and
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: it felt like this was going to be the first
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: time Roman in Punk, right, that's a big main event.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: Now that they have introduced is Pat McAfee into this,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: and they are clearly this is a priority for them now,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: it's a priority for TKO, it's a priority for Ari
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: Emanuel to get as many eyeballs as possible on that
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: match and position that match as the biggest match on
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: the show. It has me wondering if they would flip it,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: and if the plan was to do Roman and Punk
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: on Night two, and if they might switch it and
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: actually do Cody and Randy on Night two instead, especially
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: if they have some kind of big angle planned, you know,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: for the end of that match. So it's be very
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: interesting to see what matches air on what nights, But
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: we will find out tomorrow morning on ESPN. See what
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: you guys thought of Raw Tonight from Houston, Texas seventy
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: eight percent thumbs up, twenty two percent thumbs down for
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: tonight's show. You get those votes in at Sola Monster
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: on X overwhelmingly positive for tonight. There was enough to
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: like where I don't disagree with the outcome there. I
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: think that's fine. I think Punk might come out next
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: week and cut another pipe bomb. If they don't give
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: him his Night two main event. He might be upset.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: He might go out there and rage again next week.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: He was this close from getting Night too, and then
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: they take it away from him because of Pat McAfee
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: or Pat McAfee, let's get to your questions here. Oh,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: the likes Goull? What was the likes Goll five p
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: thirty or at seven fifty four? So we will at
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: least get the one round to be the booker. We
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: need five more of those super chats up top to
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: hit the bonus goll or five out of ten on
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: that we'll start with death. Sife here says, how funny
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: would it be if Randy Orton drops Pat McAfee with
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: an RKO and then delivers a punk kick to him
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: this Friday? I wish they would punk kick that entire angle.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: But are they going to do that? No, they're not
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: going to do that. I can promise you they're not
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: going to do that. Olivia Hey solo thoughts on Balkan
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: food have you tried? I have not? I have not.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: I tried Borshed many years ago. I think it's a
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: Ukrainian cuisine, But no, I have not tried Balkan food.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Should I? Robbie h five fifteen minutes in and I've
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: heard the word receipt three times. Yes, receipt and nepo,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: baby and bitch. We should do like a I guess
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: like a bingo card for WWE. How many times in
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: a given night do we hear bitch? How many times
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: do we hear this word? How many times do we
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: hear that word? What are the common words that would
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: be on there? Today's episode is sponsored by WIS When

  Speaker 1: Devin from NJ was punk legitimately getting pot at the
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: people booing him. I know he was going I know
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: what he was going for, but all it did was
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: make me think of Ryan Nemitz's tweet. No, I don't
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: think he was getting pot about them booing him. He
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: might have been getting pot about the what chance you know,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: which is understandable because they're dumb lakers. Pats triple h
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: emmanual meeting should be fun after tonight. Electric feel, Electric feel,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: Electric feel. I wonder how long it will take them
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: to rename Raw the Adam Pierce Show. He does make
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of appearances on these shows. He is the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: star of the show, clearly, Phil with a nine ninety nine.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: I missed the old days when Raw would have fireworks
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: and a good intro. These new intros suck. They do.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: They are fucking terrible, dude, they are awful. Row used
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: to get you pumped up when the show would start.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: You have good opening thirty second video, and you'd go
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: into the pyro, you'd scan the crowd. You'd see everybody
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: with their signs, everybody cheering and jumping up and down.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: And now it's just again very sterile. You know, they
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: have whatever. The terrible theme the month is that they
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: use even the songs that aren't necessarily bad songs, they
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: don't fit raw They picked these songs. They don't fit
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: the show. You know, they don't get you pumped up
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: for the show. And it's all the same bullshit. You know,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: people doing these fake arrivals in the back as the
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: announcers talk over that. It's just it's it's garbage. I
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: fucking hate it. I agree with you one hundred percent.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: Aaron says sound of Live in Roxanne's Heads Colliding was bad. Yeah,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was very bad. It was
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: very nasty. Randy Bobandy started binge watching Everybody Loves Raymond.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: Saw some episodes as a kid, but now as an adult,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: I get and love the humor. Were you're a fan
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: of the show, I never watched it. I feel like
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: King of Queens Everybody Loves raym I feel like I
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: would enjoy those shows. King of Queens. I will see
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: clips of on like IG, but like I never watched
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: those shows. Arabian Knight says, slapping the face to Julia,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: who has not had a pl match and a US
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: title has yet to be defended on one, she should quit.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: Speed Is on WrestleMania, but no Mellow Ilia or Alistair Black.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: I'm holding out a monicum of hope. Carmelo Hayes could
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: still find his way in, but honestly, after what they
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: did on Friday, it would feel kind of hollow. You know,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: they had a chance to add him, they didn't do it,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: and doesn't feel like they're going to. There's still time,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: though Dragonov is not getting on Dragonov is not on
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: Black is not getting on Mello. There might be a
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: five percent chance. Thank you, brother Randy Bubandi. If someone
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: ever asks me if there's one first season of a
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: show to watch, I always say Arrested Development first season
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: is a masterpiece. Are you going to watch the Malcolm
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: in the Middle reboot coming out this Friday? I will not.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: I will not. I know some people are excited about it.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: Theom What was that on Peacock? I think San Juan
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: Wolf with a twenty dollars super chat, Thank you brother,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: and you and Randy Randy with the fifty curiosity and
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: X clips killed the cat. I watched SmackDown despite the warnings,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: and wow, raw has never felt more like a palate
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: cleanser than it does right now. Yeah, yep it does, Mustafa,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: do you think whenever? Do you think whenever competes Don
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: for the war? Okay, we're gonna have to, Uh, We're
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: gonna do some translating here. There's some words missing here
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: from this super chat. Let me re refresh this first
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: of all. Uh, here we go. Do you think, just
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: so you guys can know I'm not stroking out here?
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: Whenever competes Dom for the word title, Ray should turn
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: heel and help his son win. I feel like Ray
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: turning heel would break the internet. Raymisterio should not be
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: going heal. Raymisterio is fifty years old. He's in that
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: legendary phase now. It would be like John Cena all
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: over again. Nobody's gonna want to boo Raymisterio. Raymisterio had
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: a heel run many many many years ago in w
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: CW is part of the Filthy Animals. A Raymisterio heel turn,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: I think would be a terrible idea. La Brian to
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: me the best Raw since the Road to WrestleMania. SmackDown
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: needs to step up their game. You think Rock may
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: show up in the Rains and Punk match, I don't.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: I think there's a chance, given how many times he
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: was mentioned tonight, but I stopped predicting a Rock return
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: a long time ago. I think it's a fool's errand
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: if you a bank on a Rock return nine times
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: out of ten, you're just gonna be left disappointed. So
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no. Nick Rosso with the nineteen ninety
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: nine After that Oscar promo, I don't know if it
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: confirms that she's having a match with EO at WrestleMania
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: or not, better not be on an episode of Raw. Also,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: after the segment between Living Roxanne, I'm convinced Roxanne is
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: gonna win money in the bank and cash in on Live.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: I could see Roxanne as a money in the bank winner.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: Did I mention her as a money in the bank
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: when I did my prediction show at the beginning of
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: the year. I think I may have Cornell Brian Pat McAfee. Yes,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: I picked up on that right away, Barry MK. How
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: does the EO go from being champion last year to
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: now having no storyline and just being Rhea's friend that
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: gets beat up. It's called bad creative go astros. The
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: only time you'll ever hear me say that. Pick one
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: to turn babyface in twenty twenty six MJF or Gunther.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think either one of them should turn babyface.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: If I was forced to pick one, I would go
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: gun There we had babyface MJF. We do not need
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: that again, not right now, Randy Bobandy, just out of curiosity,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: what do I have to do to get Billy Kidman
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: on be the booker? To pay me one thousand dollars
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: because that's the only way he'll ever get into be
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: the booker. I mean, I've got to have limits, you know,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: I've got to put my foot down. There's got to
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: be some standards here. He was a fine cruiserweight in
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: WCW for a cup of coffee there. But there are
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: certain people that simply are not going to be added
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: to be the booker. Super cam fit with a ten
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: dollars super chat. Today is my birthday, which means it's
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: your half birthday. Yes, it is have a whiskey for me.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: My birthday gift to myself was saving four hundred dollars
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: on below average by watching from home, saving four hundred
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: dollars on below average by watching from home. Talking about
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: the WWE tickets, that sounds like the price of a
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: single nosebleed seed for an ever episode of Monday Night
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: Raw Well, Happy birthday, brother, Happy birthday to you, Happy
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: half birthday to me. I don't have the whiskey here
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: with me now, maybe tomorrow. Also, he says, I wanted
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: to see heel Sena face Orton, but as soon as
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: that match was announced, the nosebleeds went from one fifty
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: to two fifty been priced out ever since. Yeah, it's
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: it sucks. I mean it's only gotten worse since then,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: and for all to talk about it on TV. I
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: don't think that indicates that they're going to be lowering them.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: I think they're I think they're crazy if they don't,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: But I don't think they are. I don't think they're
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: going to base bearris. Rock Ending Punks four hundred and
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: thirty four day Rain was terrible. I think Rock Ending
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: Punks four hundred and thirty four day Rain has stuck
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: with punk this entire time is what I think. JDFV,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: thank you for the super chat. Randy, Bobandy with a
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: fifty dollar goon thar Bomb wanted to send a bow
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: bandy bomb to celebrate this show after the dumpster fire
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: of a show we saw on Friday. I know the
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: bar is set low, but let's take the victories, no
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: matter how small they are. You got to look for
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: the victory somewhere. You'll look for them where you can
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: get them. At least there was stuff on this show
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: that I genuinely liked. I can't say that for SmackDown Randy,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: thank you for the bomb. You are the man. Aaron says.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: Could this lead to a WWE Rebels versus TKO storyline?
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a terrible idea. I mean, what is
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: accomplished by that. I don't even understand what the end
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: goal of that would be like? Are people excited to
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: see something like that the WWE Rebels? I mean, I
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I don't know why
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: that would excite people. New House Media which media match?
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: Are you looking forward to? Uh? Brack lesnar and Oba
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: Femi for one. They've sold me on that. I think
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: that ladder match is going to be pretty crazy. Those
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: would be the main ones, and then if we actually
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: get it, EO and Osca. They've been waiting for that
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: match for a while. Uh, Doctor Scorpio. The world tag
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: team titles could save wrestling at WrestleMania. Yes, sure, stuff's VIDs.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: How many wrestle Mania forty two matches are there now?
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: Enough for two nights? Yeah? I mean I think the
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: idea is seven per night. I believe so fourteen The
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: working Man, Oh He's back, saw fans saying Punk's promo
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: tonight was generational, says the bar has never been lower
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: f this shit. Well, I don't use words like generational,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: but I did like that promo, and I said it
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: was more explosive in terms of the material that he
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: had to use than the actual pipe bomb was the
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: pipe bomb if you think about it, the original pipe bomb.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: It really was him griping about Dwayne getting what he
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: felt should be his WrestleMania main event, and then talking
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: about how I'm not on the posters, I'm not on
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: the cups, I'm not on this, I'm not on that right.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: It was very it was more narrowly focused, and then
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: he talked about the dufast son in law and then
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: he got his mic cut. Here he was going after
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: like half a dozen different people. And now you compare
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: that promo to most promos we get these days on
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: WWE television night and day. Aaron says, just think with
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: how bad TKO has messed up with WrestleMania the last
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: few years, next year it'll be TKO and Saudi having
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: their hands all over creative. Yes. If we think that
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: ari Emanuel getting involved and inserting himself into the creative
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: process is bad, wait until the Crown Prince has a
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: say over what he wants to see a WrestleMania for
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: all the money they're probably paying for that show, assuming
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: the show even happens over there, Wait, things are going.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. We got Alfonso with a nine
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: to ninety nine good evening. Solo. Just got back from
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: the show. I can honestly say it was one of
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: the better shows that I've been to. We were loud
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: and it felt like a big party. That's Sempunk promo
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: was fire. Yeah. The Houston crowd, man, they brought it tonight.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: Houston crowd was loud. That was that was good to see.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: Base Bears says, has Ray ever won a ladder match?
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: He is a high flyer. He won the custody of
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: Dominic ladder match. That's not the most important ladder match
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: he's ever been in. How can you forget that one?
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I forgot about the custody? Yeah, has
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: the exactly? That was the follow up super chat? How
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: can you forget about? That's the most famous of all
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: the ladder matches he's ever been a part of. Uh
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: super Pony. If Triple H gets removed from his position
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: and is replaced with the t KO stooge, do you
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: think that would lead to certain wrestlers requesting their release.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: I think it depends on how that person runs creative.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: I think there's a very good chance that if nothing else,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: people would wait for their contracts to expire and then
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: they would go somewhere else. But if that happens, it's
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: still I mean, I still think that's a good couple
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: of years down the road. It's impossible to know how
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: things are going to look at that point. It all
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: comes down to the bottom line. You know, if prices
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: don't come down and the product doesn't really improve, numbers
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: may start to dwindle and how long would they give
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: Triple H to turn things around? Because you know, he
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: would be the scapegoat. He's the head of creative even
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: if other people are part of the problem, right, they
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: need a scapegoat. He'd be the one in the hot seat. So, like,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: as I sit here now, I don't feel as confident
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: you know, about his position and him in that position
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: as maybe I was at the beginning where it's like, oh, yeah,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: he's rock solid. Yeah, well you're rock solid until you know,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: what have you done for me lately? Right? We got benchmarks,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: and we have goals, and we have you know, quarterly earnings,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: and they have all sorts of things that they you know,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: set their expectations for, and if they're not meeting expectations,
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: somebody's going to have to take the hit for it.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: And that would be him. It would be him before
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: it would be Nick con. You know, he's got to
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: feel like he's constantly on the hot seat. Bass Bears
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: Jericho deserved way more world titles in WWE. Yeah, I
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: mean it's kind of surprising he didn't have more than
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: what he had, especially how long he was there for.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: How long was he there for nineteen years something like that.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: Bass Bears, I show Speed would have been a great
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: Speed champion. Donovan Payne Hey solo. What are some underrated
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: undertaker WrestleMania matches from the Streaks history that are overshadowed
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: by the later matches with Shawn Michaels and Triple H. Well,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: one of the first ones that comes to mind is
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania twelve against Diesel. That was actually a pretty good match.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think it gets enough love, so that would
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: be one. I think the first Triple H match is
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: my favorite of the Triple H matches that he had,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: honestly first one WrestleMania seventeen. I'll throw that one on there.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: And the match with Jake at WrestleMania eight, like it's
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: not a great match, but I love that match. I
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: love that match. I love the finish. It's like my
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: personal preference. Bass Bears says Roz used to feel like
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: Woodstock sixty nine or ninety nine. It was a party.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: As somebody who went to many of those Monday night raws,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: it felt like a party every time you went. Alex
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: with a twenty five Brothers solo. If they truly put
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: the Cody in Orton match for Mania Sunday. Can you
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: see a scenario where Orton beats Cody to win the
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: title and the big ending angle is where Cody officially
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: turns heel. I don't think Cody is going hel. I
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: think there's a better chance of the Rock showing up
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: than Cody going heel or WrestleMania this year. But I
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: do think that if they save that for the Night
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: two main event, especially well, really either night, very good
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: chance that Orton will win the championship, especially now that
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: they've started this angle. Seems to me that they're going
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: to want to keep this thing going for a while.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: Can't do that if Orton gets beat, right, If he
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: gets beat and doesn't win the belt, then it kind
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: of dies at WrestleMania. Brian Finelli put this towards the
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: purchase of a New York Mets Valore track suit. It's
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of those to buy a Valor tracksuit,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: let me tell you. But thank you, Brian forgot. They
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: were selling those Jeremy Rose fifteen to twenty thousand per night,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: below last year's ticket sales. If these guys are the
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: businessmen they think, then lowering ticket prices is common sense,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: not the TKO. It's not Remember what Mark Shapiro said
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: last year. I believe he used the word elasticity. They're
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: very elastic in their ticket pricing. They feel they could
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: go even higher. There's room to go even higher, he said.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: Dry Chicken says Oscar versus EO Sky should be a
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: false count anywhere match. No, why would that match be
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: a false count anywarre match? Bass Beerers says cmpunk lost
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: a fight to Michael Jackson. Yes he did. I forgot
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: about that, right, it was Mickey gall and then I
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: think it was Michael Jackson solo wearing a Velor tracksuit.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: Would you like to see me open up one of
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: the streams wearing a Valor tracksuit wearing some velvet Actually
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: I have a velvet purple velvet blazer. I look like
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: the Joker when I wear it, or I don't wear
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: it that much. Ronan with the ten dollars for chat
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: the last Ronan fun fact. The original pipe bomb was
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: what got me back into pro wrestling. From there, I
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: got into all the dirt sheets and even subscribed to
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: the Observer. But that is also when I found the
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: sound off. See that's like striking gold that's more important
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: than the SoundOff, or more important than the observer is
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: the SoundOff. So that would have been what twenty eleven,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: You've been hanging with me for a while, Thank you.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: Ronan soloing with Regret, Aaron says, both women's World champions
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: from forty one may miss forty two. Who is the
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: women Who is the WWE Women's Champion? Oh, Tiffany. Yeah,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: it's looking very likely, although I'm kind of hopeful that
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: maybe Bianca makes a special appearance in WrestleMania. Jeremy says
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: Russev in the ladder match, talk about square peg in
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: a round hole. Ray Phoenix added, would be fire. What
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: if the TKO stooge and storyline is Vince then this
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: company is completely fucked, completely fucked in the head. Yeah.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: What must Ray Phoenix be feeling right now? Like they
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: open up that sixth spot. It would have been perfect
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: for him, But he's on the other show. They don't
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: have any SmackDown guys in the ladder match, and he's
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: just on the sidelines watching this. He's got his brothers
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: in there, Ramisterio's in there, Dragon Lee is in there.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: He's just sitting at home going. Man, what do I
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: gotta do? What do I gotta do? I'm posting all
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: these pictures on social media of me in a straight
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: jacket trying to get out of my AW contract. They
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: finally get out, I go to WWE, and now I'm
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: sitting on the sidelines retro Koh does the Does Ari
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: Emanuel take over Creative and tell Cody to shave his
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: head and go by the name Spartacus. He's got to
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: get an earring too. Don't forget that? Is that the
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: point in which Cody takes the WWE championship and mails
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: it to Tony Kahan and then he goes back to
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: AW as the real world champion, that she would be
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: a hell of an angle comes into the real world
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: champion fused with MJF. Jeremy says, so Orton, so Orton,
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: Magafee versus Cody and Punk at back clash. Oh God,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: I guess it beats Cody and Jelly Roll. Aaron says,
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: solo your disco Inferno. Slash Rock was early twenty tens.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: Matt Hardy with his cryptic social media videos some of
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: your more underrated rants. There were a lot of good
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: ones from around that time period. There's a lot of
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: dumb shit going on. That's a pretty good one on
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: Friday too. Anyway, Aaron, thank you for the I forgot
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: that was still on poor rocks in I got CTE
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: just listening to that. We are nine out of ten.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: Look at that on the bonus goal, we only need
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: one more ten dollars or above super Chat. But right
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: now we are guaranteed one round to be the booker
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: because we are well over eight hundred and thirty likes
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: and counting, getting close to a thousand. Not bad. Right
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: now we got the one round. Let's do it. Let's
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: to be the booker. Here we go. It is time
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: to be the booker. Find out what kind of matches
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: can we book on a Monday night? Is it great
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: to be alive on a Tuesday morning? I should say
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: here in New York? Not really. We begin with American males.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: We got American males, and we also, by the way,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: just hit the bonus goal. Hell yeah plus Ultra Adrian
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: ten dollars super Chat to activate super Cyan Sina. Thank
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: you plus Ultra Adrian. That means we get two rounds
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: to be the Booker. You could thank him for that.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe we get three, depends how long we go with
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: this American males kicking us off. I don't know. I
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: don't know about this American males against Money Incorporated. Okay,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: all right, all right, I like that. I could live
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: with that. Women's beat the booker. Maybe we could book
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: EO and Oscar before WWE does. Nope, we got soul
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: Ruca who beat Zaria Stand and Deliver the other night.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: Zaria just can't win a match. Soul Ruka and lash legend. Well,
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: if there's an NXTAM matchup I've ever heard one, that'll
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: be airing on the CW this Tuesday at eight pm.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: And our main events Roman and Punk, Cody and Randy
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: and now Caine, not just any Kane, og Caine the
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: night he ripped the door off the Hinges. Cane the
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: best Cane should have been champion for longer than twenty
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: four hours. Caane Live. Morgan gives you her room key.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: Now pick a stipulation. Okay, I guess we're picking a
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: step for this match. You know, Inferno matches in here somewhere,
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: but it will be a strap match. Cain will be
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: bound by the wrist. I don't think Caine has ever. Actually,
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: that's not true. Caine won the Intercontinental title in a
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: strap match, didn't he from Triple H many years ago?
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: Cain against Andre the Giant in a strap match. I
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: don't know if Andre ever had a strap match. We
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: know Cain has had one. How about that Cain and Andre.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: I think Caine picks him up and body slams him.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: I think so he body slammed the great Colleie of
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: wrestle Media one year wherever? I was that? What WrestleMania?
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: Would that have been twenty two? No? Not twenty two,
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty three? I remember? How's that for a
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: fantasy match? A little delayed reaction there, Clan Sweet it
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: was twenty three, okay. I guess that was their way
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: in detroit Ford field of recreating the Hogan Andre slam,
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: having Kane slam Collie. See. I think they should have
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: gotten Hogan to be at WrestleMania twenty three, right, WrestleMania three,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: wrestle Media twenty three. They should have gotten Hogan against
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: Collie and then they could have had Hogan pick up
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: Collie and slam the Giant again. Would Hogan would his
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: back have been able to withstand a body slam to
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: the Great Colleague in two thousand and seven. That I'm
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: not sure. But now put that out of the way.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: We have a second round be the booker where we
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: pick all stipulations. Now for these matches. A table match. Alright,
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna have a tag team table match. It
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: looks like MS and Damien Sandau so mis dow a
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: tag team table match against the Rockers. Okay, Rockers and
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: miss now Money Inc. And American Males. These are not
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: marquee matches, but I give him the bell. I'd bell
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: those matches. Why not? All right? We got a barbed
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: wire steel cage match. Barbed wire steel cage Tony Kahn
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: special here. He loves this. He loved this. We're doing
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: a women's barbed wire steel cage match, by the way,
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: with Victoria. It's poor ladies. I don't think she's ever
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 1: been in one of these before. She would love this.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: Victoria and Tony Storm made barbed wire cage match. I
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: think you would love that. You ever saw the Hollywood
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: ending match dipped her fists in the glass with Mariah
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: May Whatever happened to that Mariah May girl? I miss Her.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: There's a girl in NXT who looks an awful lot
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: like her, calling herself Blake, but she keeps losing. Just
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: lost to Tatum Paxley the other day. Now it looks
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: like she's going to join the Vanity Project. At our
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: main event. We gotta pick a stip for our main event.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: It will be three Stages of Hell HM, which means
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: we have to spin again and pick three different stipulations
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: for three Stages of Hell. And so let's find out
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: what our stipulations are going to be Match number one?
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: How are you starting with this? So? I want somebody
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: to keep note of this so I don't forget what
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: the stipulations are. An exploding barbed wire death match is
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: the opening stipulation of three Stages of Hell. You talk
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: about blowing your load here at the very beginning. How
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: is that out the last round of a three Stages
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: of Hell match. So we're gonna go from exploding barbed
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: wire death match to an APA Invitational. Did you see
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: the easter Bunny today? By the way, I felt bad
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: for the Easter bunny. Easter bunny head. He's got a
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: giant bunny head on, but I could see through the
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: bunny head. I could just see the look on this
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: guy's face, like, what the fuck am I doing here?
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: All right, So the APA Invitational is going to follow.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: This is basically just a giant barroom brawl where the
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: Easter Bunny happens to be there, and then we're going
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: to end. We go from an exploding barbed wire death
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: match in the first fall to a Molotov cocktail match
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: in the final fall. So basically, somebody is going to die,
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: is what I'm getting out of this. Three stages of
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: this is truly three stages of hell. At least, Be
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: the Booker has gone very dark. Be the booker has
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: a very sixth sense of humor. Tonight great greatest match ever.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I don't envy whoever these
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: people end up being in this match. I don't end up.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: I don't envy who these people end up being. It's
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: Royce Keys. Everybody remember him. Royce Keys is going to
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: be one half of our main event. I'm booking him
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: more than WWE is. At least on TV. You're giving
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: Tony Kahan ideas and it will be Royce Keys against
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: Oba Hemy. Oh my goodness, Royce Keys and Oba Femi exploding,
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: barbed wire deathmatch, APA Invitational, Molotov cocktail match, and all
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: I can think of when I hear those three stipulations,
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: Vince Russo has struck again. I wish those men well
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: because someone's not making it out of their alive. That's
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: all I can say. Hey, milk bath, milk milk bath,
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: milk bath, just subscribe, all right. That's that's a type
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: of bath that you will never see me taking. I
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: don't dabble in the milk, uh, super pony. I know
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: the punk promo was a work, but I can't imagine
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: our Emmanuel is happy about the ticket prices comment. I
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: highly doubt that was approved by Triple H. Well, whether
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: it was or it wasn't, I think it's a stupid
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: thing to bring up. If they're not actually going to
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: lower ticket prices, that would be the funniest part of
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. If he basically went into business for
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: himself with that comment and they have no intention of
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: actually lowering ticket crisis, that would be funny. Devin, did
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: Triple H have a bigger impact inside or outside the ring? Outside? Outside,
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: and that includes when he was a wrestler. If you
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: catch my drift. Triple H is the reason why the
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: Montreal screwjob avan, if history is to be believed. I
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: know Cornett has said it was his idea. Russo has
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: said it was his idea, you know. But there have
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: been stories about the midweek phone call that Vince was
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: on with Sean and Triple H, and Sean was crying, well,
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: just do whatever you want. We'll do whatever Triple H
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: is like now, if he doesn't want to do business,
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: we'll do business for him. For that reason alone, he's
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: had more influence outside the ring. Oh look at what
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 1: that one incident yielded. Doctor Scorpio. Be the booker is
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: saving professional wrestling tonight. That's right, Fuck Pat McAfee. Be
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: the booker is saving pro wrestling. Luis says, Wow, Dan
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: Housen has cursed you, Solomn and then curse me. He
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: cursed Be the booker, and dry Chicken says those wrestlers
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: will need to get medical attention after three stages of hell.
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: I think you get you have to get a medical examiners,
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: which you're gonna have to get with a couple of
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: body bags. I think ob Obafemi and uh Royce keys though,
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna pick two guys who could probably withstand
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: those stipulations. I feel pretty confident about those two anyway.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you, guys. There's been a fun stream, a more
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: enjoyable episode of television than Friday was anyway, but a
• 2:04:56

• 2:04:59

• 2:05:37
  Speaker 1: from Raw tonight. And yes, I saw the Alberto del
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: dipshit news. I'm sure I'll talk about that tomorrow as well,
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: so that will be on Uncrowned. Super Pony says, who
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: does Cornett hate more? Russo or Kevin Steen. Russo, I've
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: never heard him wish death on Kevin Stein. I've never
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: heard him wish death on Kenny Omega. I've never heard
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: him wish death on the Buccaroos. I've heard him wish
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 1: death multiple times on Vince Russell. So I'm gonna say,
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: Russell seems like a slam dunk to me anyway on
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: Crowned Tomorrow TNT Tomorrow Night Over on JD's channel, and
• 2:06:24
