- 1:25So Bianca Bellaire got the pin, so that means she's no longer
- 1:29undefeated, right? I was, you know, I was rooting
- 1:38for Ria, but I wanted, but I'm wearing a Bianca shirt.
- 1:45Yes. But you know, I, I will say it
- 1:48was a really good match. I wasn't.
- 1:51Disappointed on who won. You know, I, I really liked that
- 1:58EO showed, you know, all her aggression came out in the past,
- 2:04you know, few months. You know.
- 2:06I'm disrespecting her. Disrespecting her, yeah, this,
- 2:12this match, this opener was better than last night.
- 2:17The night one opener, I believe. It felt like it was better to
- 2:22me, like I was more hyped here than I was with the other ones.
- 2:26Like, you know, also Ria Ripley. Ria Ripley, Hold on.
- 2:31Before we continue, where is he? I hope I can get him out.
- 2:40Did you happen to see what We're Real Ripley was wearing?
- 2:52The Batman who laughs. It's the Joker.
- 2:56But Batman, like wearing stuff. His mask is what he was wearing,
- 3:06what she was wearing. And I kept saying it was like,
- 3:08oh, it's the real who laughed. So it was like she was smiling
- 3:13just like him with the red lipstick, red lipstick on there.
- 3:16And I was like, hell yeah. Yeah, I noticed it wasn't black
- 3:19or purple. You know, no, it was red
- 3:22lipstick and immediately I said that's that's the bad man who
- 3:27laughs right there and nobody else got except for one person
- 3:30and that's for who's the the pic, the whole picture I took
- 3:33and put it on Instagram and I'm just because I needed like a
- 3:37side by side comparison. Nobody has one until then.
- 3:40Like, all right, cool, fine. Yeah, this match was I like, I
- 3:44enjoyed this match better than night one as an opener.
- 3:49Like he got me hyped. I was like, oh shoot, so this
- 3:51match is better. I was like, all right, cool.
- 3:54Jay Jay USO versus Gunther. Yeah, he won, but still it's
- 3:59like over underwhelming the way he won with a Damien clinch his
- 4:05incident second match, Drew McIntyre beat Damien Priest in a
- 4:10Sin City street fight. Damien Priest wearing a full
- 4:18iconic Hellraiser gear from the movie Hellraiser.

- 6:32back in the ring again to celebrate with because he's
- 6:35deserved it. He's like had like a whole thing
- 6:37with the fans and then he goes into the press ground and was

- 7:12I was like, I'm Finn gets mad and he's leaving Judgment Day
- 7:17eventually and taking JD McDonald with him.
- 7:21If not leaving, he's going to get kicked out.
- 7:23He's going to get kicked out. Because of like even his
- 7:27entrance was nothing. Judgment Day.
- 7:31No, it was old school Finn. Yep.
- 7:35And then Dominic takes off his shirt, ripped off his Liv Morgan
- 7:39shirt and throws it away. During the press conference, he
- 7:44said he was holding it down for two legacies for two generation
- 7:48families, the Mysterios and the Guerreros, while wearing a
- 7:52Latino Heat shirt, the Scarface looking one.
- 7:56Yeah, of Eddie Guerrero. They're like, they touched on
- 7:59the fact that he has been there since he was 8 years old.
- 8:03Dominic on the pole matter custody for Dominic Mysterio.
- 8:08And he's not like, yeah, my father's Yeah.
- 8:14What? Did you hear about the the
- 8:17commentary team was talking about who was sponsoring the
- 8:20Mets? Oh God, what was it?
- 8:24Again, dude wiped. Dude wiped.
- 8:26Yeah. I'm like, what are you guys
- 8:29doing? Hey, next Randy Orton came out
- 8:37and was like, who's going to face me?
- 8:39Come on, who who has the ball, blah, blah, blah.
- 8:43And I'm, and I, I swear I was like, did you say his name or
- 8:47did, did I didn't say his name? Did you say his name?
- 8:50I didn't say his name either. Someone must have said his name
- 8:53because. Yeah, he showed up.
- 8:57I believe in Joe Henry showed up like somebody believed and clap,
- 9:04clap. He showed up and he started
- 9:06doing. I don't for some reason I when I
- 9:09saw it, the doors open. Did he like prematurely turn
- 9:16around or is that just me? No, he did.
- 9:20He prematurely turned around and then his song hit and then yes,
- 9:23and then he turned around again. I was like, yeah, he fucked up.
- 9:26Somebody messed up. Somebody messed up there.
- 9:28He was nervous. It's his first.
- 9:30Wrestle Mania as I was like watching it because I'm still
- 9:35like, you know, drowsy and shit. And then I see him and then it's
- 9:38like, wait, what just happened? Did he just turn around like no,
- 9:44don't do that? Or was that his like image in
- 9:46the back? Anyway, yeah, the whole pot, the
- 9:49whole crowd popped and everything.
- 9:50He comes out, does the whole thing, does his shtick, goes in
- 9:57the ring, poses and has a match with Randy and then Randy the
- 10:05hits him with an RKO while he was posing.
- 10:09I love that it was like RKO out of nowhere while posing.
- 10:13Like he should. Obviously he hasn't watched any
- 10:17of his matches because you can't take your eyes off of.
- 10:24Gordon Also Randy Orton was wearing his first ever tights.
- 10:30Well, not it was an homage to his shorts from back when he was
- 10:34just Randy Orton. Rookie Randy Orton.
- 10:37The blue ones. OK.
- 10:39Something about what else happened.
- 10:44He he posed, he posed like Joe Henry, so.
- 10:50Did his little. I believe in his voices.
- 10:54Yeah. They they, they talk to him,
- 10:56they they, you know, tell him things.
- 11:01So he does the whole thing. It turns around just like him.
- 11:04That was hilarious. That was funny.
- 11:07That was a fun match. Little short match, but anyway,
- 11:11Logan Paul beat AJ Styles. OK at this point we're just I'm
- 11:15just going to have to say it. We got to give Logan Paul his
- 11:19flowers now. Oh, OK no, you don't want to do
- 11:23it. No, you don't want to.
- 11:26So should I, should I write another card from you also or
- 11:29just not include you at? All I always said that I don't
- 11:33like him, I will never pick him. Right.
- 11:37I I will admit that he is a good wrestler.
- 11:41He's a good athlete. Yeah, well, he puts on a good
- 11:45show. Right.
- 11:48But this is the first match he's won without brass knuckles.
- 11:55True, that's true. You're absolutely right.
- 11:58He even when the even when the brass knuckles were in play,
- 12:02like Nope, he didn't use them. A carrying cross showed up, of
- 12:06course. Yes, AJ Styles is trying to turn
- 12:10heel soon because every time carrying cross runs into
- 12:15someone, they turn heel apparently.
- 12:18Yeah. Or clocks ticking.
- 12:21Yeah. For.
- 12:23Some reason he wanted to help AJ Styles.
- 12:27So for some reason, maybe he needs help his own people again.
- 12:30Oh. Yeah, 'cause he ain't got
- 12:33nobody. He ain't got nobody anymore.
- 12:36Unfortunately. This time around.
- 12:41To push him, you know he's a good rest.
- 12:44Yeah, Logan Pod, like just me, came up with a sob story on the
- 12:50press conference saying that during the match against Roman
- 12:53Reigns in Saudi Arabia, he halfway through the match he
- 12:55tore the MCL and so he had to work.
- 13:00Yeah. Wow, Wow, ma'am, wow.
- 13:12Don't care. I'm.
- 13:14Sorry if you tore your MCL, you sure didn't act like it.
- 13:18You weren't limping around. You know what I mean?
- 13:20You. Got to watch your guy match.
- 13:22You can. Maybe he did, maybe he did and
- 13:24we didn't notice. It was like, but anyway, is the
- 13:30reason why I praise all. I feel bad for him now.
- 13:32And I was like, all right, we'll give you your flowers.
- 13:34And I'm just like, Nah, what's another match?
- 13:37We'll have to win another match. Let's see how you fandle John
- 13:39Cena, turn her face and see what happens, you know?
- 13:44Yeah. Lyra Bulgaria and her mystery
- 13:49partner beat Liv and Raquel for the Women's Tag Team
- 13:55championships. Mystery partner being who?
- 13:58Becky Lynch. Yeah, Yeah.
- 14:02And who got all called it and then called it.
- 14:08I kept seeing like a message pop up.
- 14:12Oh my God. Oh my God.
- 14:12Oh my God. Oh my God.
- 14:13Oh my God. Oh my God.
- 14:14What? Becca.
- 14:17Yeah. It was like, what, Becky Lynch?
- 14:20After the second, Oh my God, I knew who it was.
- 14:22Yeah, it. Was like after the second, it
- 14:24was like Becca. I was like, yes, backing.
- 14:27I was like, oh shit, OK, yeah, we knew that was happening.
- 14:30See, if you showed up to the to the predictions and you, you'd
- 14:34be like, no about this too, man. Watch her show up next time.
- 14:41Anyway, she said on the press conference like, yeah, Bailey
- 14:46got injured and you know, they asked me to come in and I'm
- 14:49like, no, no, don't lie, don't lie.
- 14:53No lie. And she's lying in front of her
- 14:56daughter too. It's like her daughter's right
- 14:57there, Rude, like hanging out in there trying to tell people
- 15:01about a skunk. And it's like, oh, she just, she
- 15:04just pray and he's saying it's OK.
- 15:05And rude's all like, you're lying, ma.
- 15:08The skunk. The skunk sprayed all over the
- 15:10place. Yeah.
- 15:12And I love how you telling the story, you love how she's
- 15:15telling the story of a skunk coming in because her daddy
- 15:19forgot to close the door. I'm like why you blame me South
- 15:22bro? Why you got to blame the side?
- 15:25It was like it was all on him. A high right now.
- 15:29That's how it breaks down. I say if you think I shut the.
- 15:33Door right? I feel like that she they beat
- 15:36them like now come on. Really.
- 15:40Well, you knew she had to come back 'cause you knew she was
- 15:45there. Yeah, saw her then on at the
- 15:48Hall of Fame, so she had to come back, did a little comeback and
- 15:51stuff. They showed her backstage, you
- 15:54know her reaction to Seth your winning so.
- 16:00True. And then if you notice, but
- 16:05every time she comes back she somehow hits belt.
- 16:09Charlotte. Oh, wait, it's Becky Lynch.
- 16:11OK, Came. Back herself.
- 16:17How come we're not yelling at her like we yell like Charlotte?
- 16:25Maybe because Becky will give up the belt right away.
- 16:28Yeah, maybe. And, you know, maybe it's just a
- 16:32way that it's, it's Charlotte's attitude, that's what.
- 16:36It is probably, yeah, the whole queen thing.
- 16:41Meanwhile, Becky's like I'm the man.
- 16:42Dude, I'll help you, but same time you get to give me your
- 16:46belt. Yep.
- 16:49And finally. Never mind.
- 16:57No, Come on, say it. Say it.
- 16:59Nah, come on, you'd say it. This.
- 17:01This was terrible. This was terrible.
- 17:04No, no, no, no, no no no. Terrible as in terrible as in
- 17:09Lita interestratus? Terrible.
- 17:11Or 1-2 steps Because I thought the same thing.
- 17:19You know, when, when we so we were a little bit behind, OK,
- 17:28because we I started it on time, but I rewound it a little bit to
- 17:34just to to look at something and I paused it for my sisters.
- 17:40So I was just like maybe like 10 minutes behind everybody else
- 17:48and I saw you made a post. So I was like, Nope, I'm not
- 17:50looking at it until I watch, right?
- 17:55Oh, did the WrestleMania post, Yeah.
- 17:57OK for night 2. For night 2.
- 17:59All right, Yeah, I. Was like, yeah, I'm not going to
- 18:01watch it. So then when we looked at it, I
- 18:06was like, we're like every time Cody would he'll go after him,
- 18:13he'd run out the ring or, you know, go under the ropes or
- 18:15whatever. And I just kept saying he can't
- 18:17wrestle. No, not anymore.
- 18:21You know, and I mean, I he's, yes, I know this is his last
- 18:28WrestleMania, but he looked like this was his last WrestleMania.
- 18:34Prior to Royal Rumble, when was his last match?
- 18:41Wasn't it like, well, he, he's wrestled every year.
- 18:47I think his last match before that was like early earlier last
- 18:53year, I think, because he kept coming out and saying oh, you
- 18:59know, I've lost. And one.
- 19:01Since you know, you know whenever.
- 19:04It's been like. Three years before SO.
- 19:07And during these matches that he's had, he's always had A tag
- 19:11team, so he's always had support.
- 19:15Royal Rumble, there's a lot of other people there up until Jay
- 19:19USO. And then it like ended a little
- 19:23immediately right after like 5 minutes into it ended was
- 19:29Elimination Chamber. He's the last one in.
- 19:32No, CM Punk was the last one in, so he gets support from other
- 19:38around him until him and Punk are the last two in there and
- 19:43then he beats him. He hasn't wrestled at all up
- 19:49until Wrestle Mania and this is his first match back and it's
- 19:52like 45 minutes and the man is like old and he's like running
- 19:58slow. He grabbed that belt and I swear
- 20:00to God it took him like 5 minutes to hit Cody Rhodes.
- 20:05Yeah. Cody Rhodes had turned around
- 20:07twice know that he was there and cut.
- 20:10And John Cena still back there trying to hit him.
- 20:13Yeah, Purple H has talked for over an hour.
- 20:16And John Cena still back there trying to hit him like.
- 20:21John, come on. Today, buddy.
- 20:23Today even even. What's his face?
- 20:26Whoever came out. I'm Scott.
- 20:28Travis Scott. He took forever.
- 20:30He took forever. I'm like today, buddy, Come on.
- 20:32We're like, you have to hurry up, come on, go run to the ring.
- 20:37This is WrestleMania. Run to the ring and do what you
- 20:40got to do. My sister's like, what's he
- 20:43doing that I'm like, he wants his WrestleMania.
- 20:45Moment he did. He got his WrestleMania moment
- 20:47with the Hardcore with the Old School Hardcore Championship.
- 20:50Yeah, it's there because he said he wants to wrestle.
- 20:54So they said OK Hun, you could do it at WrestleMania.
- 20:57And guess what? Every time someone new comes
- 21:03out, they always like, jump over the rope.
- 21:07Stephen Amell did it. Arrow.
- 21:08Stephen Amell did it. It's like everybody's all like,
- 21:11oh, if he fumbles and falls down, we get to laugh at them.
- 21:15So like, Travis Scott does it. I was like, oh, OK, all right,
- 21:20let's see. He does the thing and where he
- 21:23tries to slap Cody. Cody says Nope.
- 21:26And you see Travis go from shit, it's like.
- 21:33Then he gets a crossroad. It was like a cartoon.
- 21:37It's like like, oh, and then it's up to state, OK, go ahead.
- 21:41It's like a crossroads. And I was like, that is the
- 21:48funniest thing I've ever seen. And I hope he does it more often
- 21:51if you're going to use them. Because him knowing that he's
- 21:55about to get beat up and like having a scratch record scratch
- 22:00moment, and this is where I know where I've messed up and then
- 22:07getting that crossroad. And then, yeah, at this moment
- 22:10where I knew that I messed up. John Cena doing his whole like,
- 22:15all right, let me hit him with that belt.
- 22:16No, like, all right, come on here, hit me, come on, hit me.
- 22:21No hit, kick to the balls. And then that's it.
- 22:25He wins. Like how many St.
- 22:29Like now what was it like a A's attitude adjustments?
- 22:34How many attitude with four of them?
- 22:37If you can't beat him the first time with it, come on time.
- 22:42Yeah. And how many more months?
- 22:46We got eight more months. We got eight more months for him
- 22:49to like, retire. 8 more pay per views.
- 22:55And I don't even know if he's going to keep camp.
- 22:59No, he's not. He'll probably lose it by summer
- 23:02slam and had less dates towards the end of the year.
- 23:06Yeah, because. Well, because really, Survivor
- 23:13Series is the last. One yeah, November and then
- 23:16December. December they do, I think has
- 23:20the last one. So he's like.
- 23:22Unless he's going to go on NXT, it's I don't know, I don't.
- 23:26Think #18 oh, OK, so that was night 2.
- 23:35That was fun. It dragged a little bit, but OK.
- 23:42What do you think of Night 2? Did it live up to the
- 23:45expectations? It did.
- 23:48It did, no. I think both nights were great.
- 23:51Yeah. I kind of like night One better.
- 23:54You did. But, you know, each match, I
- 24:00think the what's the match where I kind of like wasn't paying
- 24:05attention. I I think it was, yeah, the
- 24:18Logan. No, actually it was Randy
- 24:20Orton's. You know, I was like, OK, look
- 24:23up. Because I don't.
- 24:25I don't really know much about Joe Henry.
- 24:28Yeah, I know neither. You know, I haven't really
- 24:30watched. I didn't watch when he was on
- 24:34NXT. So my name.
- 24:38Like 1 ticket and just hit him with the RKO and he'll be dead.
- 24:44So. That was the, you know, I'm
- 24:46going to go take a break, you know, walk around, go get some
- 24:49food, you know, kind of thing. Exactly.
- 24:52That was fun though. I liked, you know, I liked all
- 24:54the other ones, you know, my predictions of I'm losing my
- 25:00text, you know, I, I would say the the matches were, were
- 25:11really good. Yeah, they were.
- 25:13They were. I was in.
- 25:14I enjoyed both of them both nights, Yeah.
- 25:17Night 2 I really loved though. It's like I liked Night 2
- 25:20better. Yeah, you know.
- 25:24I just. I think Jay's match is what I
- 25:29really enjoyed the most, you know, because he, you know,
- 25:33except for the ending. I think they could have ended it
- 25:36better, you know, maybe had Gunther pass out instead of
