Episode 150 - Wrestlemania 40 Week · My Third Place Pod

• 0:00
  It was in 2010 when I went to my first three day comic book
• 0:03
  convention. I've gone to comic book
• 0:05
  conventions in the past, including an anime one, but this
• 0:07
  one, C2E2, Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo.
• 0:12
  This one was special to me. It always has been.
• 0:17
  It always will be for one. It was the first time that had
• 0:20
  gone all weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
• 0:23
  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to book a room at the nearest
• 0:27
  hotel, the Hyatt, at that time, so I had to do the 40 minute,
• 0:31
  4540 to 45 minute trek from home.
• 0:35
  And then two. It was near where my job at the
• 0:38
  time was. I worked downtown Chicago for 10
• 0:41
  years at a Subway restaurant, so it was closer and distant.
• 0:46
  And then it was a 2009 was the World Chicago or Comic Con
• 0:49
  they're now calling it that. Word has spread about the CQEQ.
• 0:54
  I, for one didn't have that many friends that would go with me to
• 0:57
  the conventions besides my cousins.
• 0:59
  We would lit up and go different directions and later meet up to
• 1:04
  get food or just leave. This one was different though.
• 1:10
  2009 late at night I was on Twitter just scrolling around
• 1:14
  when I see one of my favorite movie comic book bloggers, Jill
• 1:19
  Pantosi. Or as she was called The Nerdy
• 1:22
  Bird, she tweets out that she's going to be on a podcast and
• 1:26
  send her followers the link. I click on that link and I end
• 1:29
  up on the panel Panels on pages, Podcast, podcast, podcast.
• 1:34
  They call it a podcast, podcast. It's a podcast, but they call it
• 1:38
  a podcast and I ended up on their chat room.
• 1:42
  I listen, I watch the chat as always.
• 1:45
  At first I'm quiet and I'm enjoying this.
• 1:47
  I get comfortable because of course everyone was talking
• 1:50
  about comic books in TV shows and the movies and Oh my God,
• 1:53
  this is my crew, these are my people.
• 1:56
  The show is about two hours long and I'm enjoying this until it
• 1:59
  ends. Of course, they tell me when the
• 2:02
  show is aired to look around the comment section and the blog and
• 2:06
  I end up being part of this beautiful community.
• 2:11
  It was a wonderful community. I stick around.
• 2:17
  Fast forward to August of that year, Chicago Comic Con.
• 2:22
  I didn't realize the podcast crew members from panels on
• 2:24
  pages were pop and they're now called We're Going To Be There.
• 2:29
  But cut my eye on them was the sign that was being held so it
• 2:32
  looked like it was floating up until I see them.
• 2:36
  Two of them cosplaying shot of the dead and another person
• 2:39
  holding the sign right behind them.
• 2:42
  Of course I run up to them and stopped them because I want to
• 2:44
  take pictures. That's a pretty cool costume.
• 2:48
  One of them is Sean, the other one's the best friend.
• 2:51
  Sean's holding the leash on the zombie just like that.
• 2:57
  I say the story because years later they were the under the
• 3:01
  assumption that I fanboyed after them.
• 3:05
  No, I saw the sign. I saw the sign.
• 3:09
  I I aged the base that I saw the sign loading up and down the
• 3:14
  aisle of comic books and I was curious to see what it was and
• 3:20
  why there was a sign going up and down all crazy.
• 3:24
  Later on I took pictures of groups which we all get.
• 3:27
  We will all get it to later because I was just a fan of
• 3:31
  cosplay at that time. Fast forward to 2010.
• 3:34
  I subscribe to the C2E2 newsletter.
• 3:37
  Every time someone's announced to show up, whether it be an
• 3:40
  actor, combo creator, or artist, I get the notification.
• 3:43
  At this time, the pop message boards are hyped, everyone's
• 3:48
  doing cosplays, and they're looking for groups or talking
• 3:51
  about going for one day or all four days or staying all week
• 3:54
  long to check out the scenery. I get involved in this and I buy
• 3:57
  a ticket to go for three days. The podcast is fairly new and I
• 4:02
  start eventually listening to it.
• 4:05
  It's something I still do with my favorite podcast.
• 4:08
  April comes along, we are hyped up.
• 4:11
  WrestleMania was a few weeks ago, so we talked mostly about
• 4:14
  that. We get a free screening of Kick
• 4:16
  Ass, which came out that weekend.
• 4:19
  We we also get to meet Aaron Taylor Johnson and Chloe Moretz
• 4:22
  and have AQ and A with them on Thursday, Friday, everyone in
• 4:26
  that group, everyone that showed up from all that small
• 4:28
  community, I want to say about 20 or 30 people.
• 4:31
  We take a group picture. We have fun whole weekend, from
• 4:34
  doing panels to crowning a pop Princess to eating White Castle
• 4:37
  that whole night. It was fun and exciting and it
• 4:40
  was a new for me up until Sunday came along.
• 4:45
  Sunday was the last day we were saying goodbye.
• 4:49
  I was taking pictures. I met these awesome ass nurse
• 4:52
  for the very first time and then they hit me.
• 4:55
  These are the cosplay groups I've been taking pictures of
• 4:57
  since I started going to convention.
• 5:00
  I looked at my old photo out of my phone, I asked them if they
• 5:03
  were and then a few of them said yes.
• 5:06
  I met these people a while back and thought they were amazing
• 5:09
  and awesome cosplayers and now now they're my friends.
• 5:13
  I get to talk to people that did GI Joe cosplay Phoenix anime
• 5:17
  stuff. I got to hang out with a girl
• 5:20
  who did the Ramona Flowers cosplay group because I wanted
• 5:23
  to be a part of it and I win as Lukas Lee.
• 5:26
  Basically Chris Evans in the Scott Pilgrim movie.
• 5:29
  I got to be a part of a cosplay competition knowing full well
• 5:33
  that we're going to win, but we were going to have fun with
• 5:37
  others. Dressed as the end of the year,
• 5:39
  dressed as Wolverine, got to meet for the first time, a guy
• 5:43
  dressed as Todd Ingram and hung out with us because he saw us
• 5:46
  and didn't think anybody would dress up as any of the
• 5:48
  characters. We've been friends ever since.
• 5:53
  We got to hang out in front of the only press where they took
• 5:55
  pictures of us as the creator, Scott Pilgrim.
• 5:57
  Brian William O'Malley put us on his website.
• 6:01
  I got to be a part of this exciting community.
• 6:05
  Small at first because by next year it grew twice as much.
• 6:10
  But I got to be there and had the most fun with a bunch of
• 6:13
  people that I just barely met. Monday morning it was back to
• 6:19
  work. I'm sore, I'm hurting, and for
• 6:23
  the first time ever con depression hits me.
• 6:27
  People have spoken about this conquered, but never have I
• 6:30
  experienced it until now. Everything that I enjoy doing
• 6:33
  for the whole weekend or months leading up to it with these
• 6:36
  awesome people, it's over with. Up until the next year or every
• 6:41
  maybe next month at ASIN or maybe some other time.
• 6:47
  I told that story to tell this story.
• 6:51
  I was hit with Con depression this weekend.
• 6:58
  Not because I went to a Conv convention.
• 7:01
  It was because I was looking forward to this whole weekend
• 7:04
  that just happened last week. I took it every bit of
• 7:08
  information, every bit of fun, every bit of content.
• 7:10
  I consumed that and on Monday night it hit me.
• 7:16
  One of my good friends, Alex, you may know her from the No as
• 7:20
  A Sentence podcast. She said it best.
• 7:24
  You look forward to this for months, and then you had a lot
• 7:28
  of fun consuming the content that now that it's over, you're
• 7:31
  no longer looking forward to anything else anymore.
• 7:36
  And she's right. I didn't want to do this episode
• 7:39
  just after it does it over with. Then what am I going to do?
• 7:43
  I'm fine. No, I'm fine.
• 7:45
  I'm fine. But it hit me that Monday night
• 7:49
  marked a new beginning. The story is over and completed,
• 7:53
  and now we can start anew. Which means I can take a break.
• 7:58
  Not a long break, but I usually take a break to refresh myself
• 8:06
  and that's what I'm looking forward to now.
• 8:50
  Welcome back my father's behavior squad.
• 8:51
  WrestleMania is done and over with, but I saved up enough
• 8:55
  energy for one more episode. We are going to get through all
• 9:00
  the happenings from this entire WrestleMania week, what you
• 9:04
  might have missed, the Easter eggs, and what Seth Rollins wore
• 9:08
  to the Met Gala or to both of his matches.
• 9:14
  I'm EVO. This is episode 150, and by the
• 9:16
  end of this episode, I'm going to tell you which member of the
• 9:19
  Cody Vendors was left out of end game.
• 9:23
  Of course, with me I got Menace here in the building.
• 9:29
  How are you doing tonight? How was your weekend?
• 9:32
  It was great. I'm so glad one of us had a
• 9:37
  great time. Well, it was great, but, you
• 9:41
  know, kind of depressing to, you know, we'll talk about that
• 9:45
  later. Oh, goodness.
• 9:47
  Yeah, we should talk about that later.
• 9:50
  I got to drink Prime for the very first time.
• 9:55
  It was OK. What'd you think of it?
• 9:57
  You told me you did also. So I tried.
• 10:01
  Now, I didn't drink the whole thing.
• 10:03
  But I had. A couple of sips of my nephew's
• 10:07
  blue Raspberry and for me it was way, way too sweet.
• 10:12
  And I like sweet things, but that was just overly overly
• 10:18
  sweet is what it was, overpowering sweetness.
• 10:22
  And I was like, Nah, I don't like this.
• 10:24
  So I guess I still hadn't found one.
• 10:31
  I guess hydration drink or hydration drink that I like.
• 10:36
  So it was just stick with water. I enjoyed it.
• 10:43
  I bought 2 bottles. I only I only told people about
• 10:46
  1:00 because like I got the hatred, not the hatred.
• 10:50
  But then I got like a message from our mutual saying why?
• 10:57
  Why are you doing that? Why we don't like him.
• 11:01
  Like, I know I just wanted to try.
• 11:05
  Yeah, you have to give all products to try.
• 11:07
  You can't boycott totally I guess.
• 11:10
  Like I I'm giving C4A try and look at me now and then.
• 11:14
  She's right. Don't make this a whole thing.
• 11:17
  Where now, 'cause I I replaced C4 with LOA.
• 11:23
  Wait, I replaced ZOA with C4. I don't want to replace the C4
• 11:27
  with product, like that's not even the same.
• 11:32
  I tried the blue Raspberry and the other one was an ice pop.
• 11:35
  The ice pop is the red, white and blue color.
• 11:39
  So I think that's one of the ones that Logan Paul had one.
• 11:44
  There's snake probably around, he always has different ones.
• 11:48
  Yeah, he he's had yellow and blue and it's like, yeah,
• 11:51
  there's nothing bad at all. So cheers to everyone who had
• 12:00
  one or like if you don't like it, let me know in the comments,
• 12:06
  let me know in the Q&A what you think of it, what you thought of
• 12:11
  it. If you don't like it, let me
• 12:12
  know. Also why you don't like it or if
• 12:15
  you don't want to support his venture, then that's fine too.
• 12:18
  Let me know, let us know in the comments, let us know in the
• 12:21
  Q&A. That's probably one of the
• 12:23
  questions I'm going to ask. What do you think of Prime?
• 12:30
  So WrestleMania week, long, long long week, long week.
• 12:39
  I didn't get to see anything until Thursday, Thursday around
• 12:43
  Thursday afternoon. Like I know everything was going
• 12:46
  on since Monday and I only told people about stuff that was
• 12:49
  going on from Wednesday on. But really it was like the only
• 12:54
  the only thing I wanted to see was Game Changer Wrestling Plus.
• 12:59
  Bordek from Josh Barnett, Shayna Baszler versus Masha Slomovich,
• 13:04
  Shayna from the Masha from TNA. It was held at the auditorium of
• 13:12
  Pennsylvania Car Cater in Philadelphia, PA.
• 13:16
  So they were like right near each other.
• 13:20
  This is one of the highlights of the week that wasn't totally
• 13:22
  related and it was posted on YouTube.
• 13:24
  Some of it I had heard about Baszler facing Savage a month in
• 13:30
  advance and leading up to a Savage who from TMA had faced
• 13:34
  and defeated Basler's friend and another member of the four horse
• 13:37
  movement of MMA, Marina Shaffir from AW.
• 13:41
  There were also promos leading up to this and we got this event
• 13:45
  and it was a banger. Saw some footage from Danny
• 13:52
  Tok's wrestling on TikTok or Dub T.O.K Danny on Twitter.
• 13:58
  She was all over Philly that weekend from matches and GCW and
• 14:03
  even went to the ECW legends where wrestling where the
• 14:08
  legends of ECW were wrestling. She got to dance with Flash
• 14:12
  Funk. She was hanging out and stuff.
• 14:15
  She had a great time. She she was all over the social.
• 14:20
  Her smile lit up everything. I'm glad she did that.
• 14:24
  She deserved a fucking like she deserved a big thank you for all
• 14:29
  the stuff she was putting out. She was having the most fun.
• 14:33
  She was living her best life. Hopefully, hopefully, she does
• 14:37
  it again soon. Again, because we love that
• 14:39
  around here. Dan.
• 14:41
  Danny, Danielle, Danny talks. Wrestling dump truck.
• 14:44
  Danny, we love you around here. Thank you for all that.
• 14:47
  I've been following her. I've been on her socials ever
• 14:52
  since, what, 2021? Ever since TikTok, I guess.
• 14:55
  I don't know. Ever since the Restful talks
• 14:57
  community thing. She yeah, I can't tell you how
• 15:04
  much the drug Danny Danny talks. Wrestling means to me.
• 15:09
  She's just amazing in all aspects.
• 15:12
  Give her her flowers for putting in all the content she could to
• 15:15
  post everything that was out there.
• 15:18
  She had so much fun as a fan of wrestling.
• 15:24
  She was just out there and hopefully like WrestleMania,
• 15:27
  like she understands what she did is something you know, that
• 15:33
  I one day want to do Also like, yes.
• 15:36
  All right, so back to the show. A lot of wrestlers were in the
• 15:41
  crowd representing for their girl, according to Danny.
• 15:46
  She took videos on posted on TikTok, Strowman, Killer Cross,
• 15:51
  NIA, Jax, CM Punk, War in the Crowd.
• 15:55
  Jordan Grace came out with Masha.
• 15:57
  If you follow those two, they've been feuding for quite some time
• 16:00
  in TNA. And then Shana came out with her
• 16:03
  tag partners, Zoe Stark. The match was insane.
• 16:07
  It was a banger. There was a lot of kicks in the
• 16:10
  faces. Insane holes.
• 16:13
  But Baylor ended up stomping her face and winning after the
• 16:16
  referee stopped the fight. The like, the referee's all
• 16:18
  like, no, can't be stopping her face anymore.
• 16:21
  Done. I'm betting Triple H told her
• 16:25
  not to come back here without a win.
• 16:29
  So yeah, that that that happened.
• 16:32
  I'm thinking daddy right now. I'm gonna leave her TikTok
• 16:37
  account in the show notes. Y'all can show her some love and
• 16:42
  watch all these amazing videos that she took over the weekend
• 16:46
  of everything of WrestleMania week.
• 16:49
  So yeah, there it is, Danny, I'm giving you all the extra, all
• 16:55
  the extra love. You deserve it.
• 16:57
  You deserve to have fun out there.
• 16:59
  Thank you for all the content. Like I would.
• 17:02
  I wouldn't be talking about this if it wasn't for everything that
• 17:05
  I just saw in her in her videos. Next up, Friday night, smack
• 17:10
  down. What do you think of it?
• 17:15
  It's 'cause I was like, I saw it, but it's like, OK, you know,
• 17:18
  I'm not going to be able to like talk about the entire on Friday.
• 17:23
  But we were only we only saw two things that made that progressed
• 17:30
  the story on what happened that night.
• 17:34
  First, Dragon League gets attacked backstage.
• 17:38
  He hurt, he's injured, and then later on the night, Rey Mysterio
• 17:44
  and Selena Vega are getting jumped by Santos Escobar and
• 17:46
  Dominic. Dominic tells Andrade to help
• 17:50
  them jump Mysterio, but he decides not to and double cross
• 17:53
  Dom and Santo because it's a double crossing.
• 17:56
  I actually saw Andrade was going to join Legado or where he was
• 18:01
  going to join the Judgment Day. But he decided, no, I'm.
• 18:06
  I'm a good person. So you know, Charlotte's going
• 18:10
  to come back soon, so we need that story, like, happening.
• 18:15
  So she ended. So he ended up helping Ray and
• 18:17
  Zelena instead. Zelena jumped into Andrea's
• 18:20
  arms. That's a call back when she used
• 18:22
  to manage him on an ex. He not many people knew that.
• 18:25
  They were like, oh, we're going to tell Charlotte.
• 18:27
  No. Yeah, exactly.
• 18:30
  She used to manage him. Calm down.
• 18:34
  That's their thing. Yeah, like, hey, Juanita, We
• 18:39
  need to tell that Juanita and then try to come back and get
• 18:42
  jealous over Salinas. That way, later that night, I
• 18:46
  tell Dragon Lee not to worry. He will be replaced by Andrade.
• 18:52
  How you gonna tell Dragon Lee? Hey, you're you're in one of the
• 18:55
  WrestleMania matches. Oh, cool.
• 18:58
  Thank you, Senor. Thank you.
• 18:59
  I appreciate it. Yes, my dream come true.
• 19:01
  I'm gonna tell my family Friday night.
• 19:05
  Yeah, you're being replaced by Andrade.
• 19:07
  Yeah, really. Son of a bitch.
• 19:12
  It actually makes a lot of sense, and I'll tell you guys
• 19:14
  later, but it actually makes a lot of sense as to why he was
• 19:18
  replaced. And then later that night, the
• 19:22
  main event, Bronson Reed wins the Andre Giant Memorial Battle
• 19:25
  Royal. What does that do for him
• 19:29
  exactly? I don't know.
• 19:36
  Because. Yeah, you're the same safety
• 19:42
  guy. I mean, they've been pushing
• 19:43
  him, you know, to be, you know, in that race for the
• 19:48
  Intercontinental Championship. But I mean, I don't know.
• 19:52
  Just it doesn't seem like like even the past few champions I've
• 19:58
  seen, like nothing really happened other than they get
• 20:01
  back, you know? Oh, you won.
• 20:04
  You know, So they bring out this big statue, you know, big trophy
• 20:10
  and that's, that runs for, you know, a couple months and then
• 20:14
  that's it. You know, it's not like he gets
• 20:19
  like a #1 contender shot, you know, to whatever he, you know,
• 20:24
  whichever belt he wants to go for.
• 20:26
  So I don't know. I don't understand.
• 20:28
  I mean, it's a nice battle royal, but they don't hype it up
• 20:32
  a lot. They don't even tell you who's
• 20:35
  in it. They know, you know, I found out
• 20:39
  who was in it when we were doing our episode last week because I
• 20:43
  went on to the, you know, on the Wikipedia, Wikipedia page and it
• 20:49
  shows all of the participants that have been in it and then
• 20:52
  who who was going to be in it, you know, for that Friday.
• 20:58
  So I was like maybe that this is something they need to work on,
• 21:04
  hype it up a little bit, you know, and.
• 21:07
  But what happens after they win? They need, yeah, they need to
• 21:12
  give them something for it. Right, Right, right.
• 21:16
  It goes back to 2014. It's like it's been 10 years.
• 21:20
  They go back to from 2014 here to the past winners.
• 21:25
  Cesaro. He got major exposure,
• 21:29
  obviously. Big show.
• 21:31
  Obviously he's a big guy. Got major exposure as well.
• 21:36
  He big show. Of course.
• 21:38
  Baron Corbin, who is now in NXT or probably coming up depending
• 21:42
  on what he wants to do after the whole thing with Braun Breaker.
• 21:48
  Does Mojo Raleigh. What was that?
• 21:51
  Wasn't he a free agent? Yeah, I guess he could come
• 21:55
  back. Or he he wanted to mojo.
• 21:58
  Raleigh he's gone. He's been gone.
• 22:01
  Matt Hardy's been gone. Braun Strowman he's around.
• 22:05
  Jay USO in 2021 after the pandemic you know like he
• 22:10
  quarter he's became a main event.
• 22:12
  He became a big deal mad cop mad cop.
• 22:15
  Maz who's gone now. Bobby Lashley who's in on the
• 22:23
  he's in the main event he's around the spot he's he's he's
• 22:26
  around and now it's proximately here.
• 22:33
  So I wonder what he they're going to do with him now that
• 22:36
  he's around doing all that stuff Saturday night or wait no no
• 22:48
  we're still on Friday night. Friday night the 2024 Hall of
• 22:52
  Fame. This comes from
• 22:55
  slamwrestling.net and posted by Bob Kapoor.
• 22:58
  I'm only going to read the first induction of the Hall of Fame as
• 23:01
  I couldn't find on YouTube, so I found the transcript.
• 23:04
  If you want to read the rest of the inductions, link will be the
• 23:06
  show. Note the first induction to the
• 23:10
  Hall of Fame was Paul Heyman, so Roman Reigns came out to induct
• 23:14
  Paul Heyman into the Hall of Fame range.
• 23:16
  Was grateful and reverential about Haman, knowing the
• 23:19
  influence the wise man has had on Ray's career.
• 23:23
  He talked about lessons that he learned from Haman, including
• 23:25
  what he said was the wisest piece of advice he received.
• 23:28
  It came late one night on the road.
• 23:31
  Reigns told Haman that he felt that as long as Haman was on the
• 23:34
  side, there was nothing Reigns to do in this business.
• 23:37
  Haman told Roman that all Roman has to do with believing himself
• 23:40
  if he could do that, and the world was in the palm of Roman's
• 23:44
  hands. Reigns ended by saying that
• 23:48
  without the wise man there will not and will not be A tribal
• 23:53
  chief. So basically, if you fire
• 23:55
  Heyman, Roman's out too. Just to make you dollar aware of
• 24:02
  that, Paul Heyman came out, hugged all of his guys, all his
• 24:06
  EDW guys, Bully Ray D Bond, RBD who was sitting next to his
• 24:14
  wife, probably smoking weed before the show.
• 24:18
  Tommy Dreamer, who was probably sitting next to his wife Beulah
• 24:22
  Mcgillicuddy. A lot of people were there, came
• 24:27
  out to the ring. There was a box right next to
• 24:31
  him. We were all wondering what it
• 24:33
  was. It was Heyman went on to point
• 24:35
  out Triple H had he praised on him as a new creative leader of
• 24:39
  the company. He says only one person can
• 24:41
  drive the car out of chaos, pointing at Triple H Only one
• 24:46
  person can assume control the locker room and the leadership
• 24:49
  that was surely needed by the man and the woman.
• 24:51
  And beautiful performance art has been bestowed us upon upon
• 24:56
  us by that man sitting right there.
• 24:59
  Levi had assumed the pencil. This company has LED us to
• 25:02
  create a freedom backstage where more superstars are emerging to
• 25:05
  the main events before your very eye and the manner in which he
• 25:07
  will lead us. Let me tell you, for the rest of
• 25:10
  my life, I will be a Paul Leveque guy, basically a shot
• 25:15
  at, you know, Haman addressed his two children, Jacob and
• 25:18
  Azalea, who were in attendance, given him a lesson about what
• 25:22
  divine success in the world. And I think you all should take
• 25:27
  a closer listen to this quote. It's not about the money, it's
• 25:31
  about being worthy of people's respect.
• 25:33
  It's about being worthy at their admiration.
• 25:36
  It's about pursuing your dreams and failing and going after them
• 25:40
  again and again and again, and failing 101 times and succeeding
• 25:45
  on the 101st. Pursue your dreams, pursue your
• 25:49
  happiness. And I promise you one day you
• 25:52
  will be standing on a podium in front of your audience of your
• 25:54
  friends and your family and your work and your children.
• 25:59
  And you will hear the love for the body of work that you put
• 26:02
  together with the true passion of your lives.
• 26:07
  He later said that with the mushy shit out of the way, he
• 26:10
  then said extreme factor, donning his trademark black
• 26:15
  letter duster, a headset, an HCW ball cop that he found in the
• 26:21
  box that was sitting right next to him.
• 26:23
  He also pulled off his old brick cell phone from his WCW days,
• 26:27
  which is now broken. It's the same one he's had.
• 26:33
  He talked about wanting to change the industry.
• 26:35
  That sucked and featured wrestlers featured clowns and
• 26:38
  plumbers. He said he wanted to
• 26:40
  revolutionize the business with hip hop and rock'n'roll and sexy
• 26:43
  women and violence. And thus the tribal stream was
• 26:46
  born and though the company no longer exists, came and said the
• 26:49
  spirit of his WWE and the matches that are put on today in
• 26:53
  the patches of fans of every wrestling company.
• 26:56
  He said. He went on to say if he thinks
• 26:58
  the spirit of himself died in a bankruptcy court in 22,001, you
• 27:01
  can fuck his hey God please. I don't know what he said,
• 27:07
  something about sausage or anything.
• 27:10
  Joking that he might get cancelled for that kind of
• 27:12
  language came and went into his final stretch of his speech
• 27:15
  saying that would never happen to him.
• 27:17
  They ain't going to cancel him, he promised.
• 27:20
  Because they know if they do, I'm coming back bigger, better,
• 27:25
  stronger than ever before. As testament, he lifts off all
• 27:29
  the time to get cancelled, or rather fired, running down to
• 27:32
  the street from this W to East WWE, mentioning all the roles he
• 27:36
  played, from manager to announcer the Roger M to the
• 27:39
  Advocate of Rock. And he named them too.
• 27:44
  Which I was surprised Lesnar until he found a new life with a
• 27:48
  special counsel to Roman Reigns and Wiseman the Bloodline and
• 27:51
  getting out of opportunity to work with newer stars named
• 27:54
  Checking Bron Breaker, Rio Ripley, Carmelo Hayes Trick
• 27:56
  Wellington Jay Cargill. And that's it.
• 28:07
  What'd you think of it? I thought it was great.
• 28:11
  You know, he he showed his true self and you could see that this
• 28:19
  passion is real. It's not you know, to me it's
• 28:23
  it's not just a gimmick here. You could see that he really,
• 28:29
  because he wasn't his wise man self.
• 28:34
  I mean you'll you there was tidbits of it.
• 28:37
  But just to see that this business is great and that he
• 28:43
  has done a lot of great things and he's working with all of
• 28:47
  these different. Tell excuse me.
• 28:50
  Talented stars and the fact that he's like, he's like superstar,
• 28:57
  he's like, Nah wrestlers, this is pro wrestling.
• 28:59
  This isn't sports entertainment. And he's like, this is
• 29:02
  professional wrestling. He was, really.
• 29:06
  You could see. That this business really meant
• 29:08
  a lot to him, and I loved it. I thought it was great.
• 29:17
  I still don't like the way he looks and praises Roman like,
• 29:22
  but you know, that's just how he is.
• 29:25
  Yes, by tribal chief. Yes, by tribal chief as it's.
• 29:29
  Kind of. Stalkerish to me.
• 29:31
  But, you know, stalkerish, Yeah. With the inclusion of WE having
• 29:39
  a thing on Netflix in 2025, there's also talk about a
• 29:45
  possible ECW W revival under a new WE partnership with Netflix.
• 29:53
  So it'd be like, you know, it'd be like RAW and ECW as well, if
• 29:59
  you're going with that. Oh, I can't wait for that.
• 30:05
  And it's Netflix. So that's going to be a lot of
• 30:11
  Lucha Underground stuff. The other Hall of Fame people,
• 30:18
  Bull Nakano, what you think of that one?
• 30:24
  You know, I I do remember her vaguely from the 90s, yes, but,
• 30:34
  you know, not a lot. But seeing in the ring.
• 30:39
  I was like. She's a beast, man, swinging
• 30:44
  everybody by their hair. And I love to play German.
• 30:50
  Suplexing everybody. Yeah, And then like, that makes
• 30:53
  me hurt. She sank every the She thanks WE
• 31:02
  for giving the opportunity into the WE universe, accepting
• 31:05
  Wolmacano, she says. We will forever be connected
• 31:08
  through professional wrestling. If there's such a thing as being
• 31:10
  reborn, I want to be professional wrestler for Mcano
• 31:13
  again and be back in the WWE ring.
• 31:15
  I look forward to seeing you all again.
• 31:17
  Then in my ear back, who knows? The other one was Muhammad Ali.
• 31:28
  Loni Ali, his widow took, accepted the induction on Ali's
• 31:34
  behalf. She knows that Ali's legacy is
• 31:36
  one of someone who loved people, who love people, love back.
• 31:40
  You know that Ali took inspiration from wrestler
• 31:42
  Gorgeous George to create a persona that made him a global
• 31:45
  star, suggesting he was the first ever global sports
• 31:48
  entertainer. She talked about Ali punching
• 31:52
  Rowdy Roddy Piper at the first WrestleMania as a special guest
• 31:54
  like Bree, and about his gift of gab, earning him the nickname
• 31:58
  the Louisville Lip for his crumble, and also for using his
• 32:01
  voice for advocating against racism and other oppression.
• 32:06
  Sting like a bee float. Like a butterfly.
• 32:09
  Rumble, young man, Rumble. I have his movie.
• 32:11
  Come on, I freaking love that, she says.
• 32:18
  I know he would have been thrilled and honored for being
• 32:20
  inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
• 32:24
  Lonnie then talked about how Ali was known as the People's
• 32:26
  Champion, how in 1998 some guy named Dwayne Johnson requested
• 32:30
  to use the moniker The People's Champion, which Ali agreed to.
• 32:34
  Lonnie then called out The Rock to accept the People's
• 32:37
  Championship belt that they created just for him.
• 32:43
  He enjoined her in the ring and embraced her warmly before she
• 32:45
  awarded him with a custom title. And then he gets on the podium
• 32:53
  and he made it about himself. He thanked Lotti for the honor
• 33:00
  and noted that Ali was one of his childhood heroes.
• 33:03
  He said that his father, Rocky Johnson, has fired with Ali.
• 33:05
  Back when Rocky was a boxer, Rocky said that in 1998, when
• 33:09
  Ali and his family came to see AW Show, Ali conferred the
• 33:12
  moniker over to the Rocky. He said the People's
• 33:13
  Championship nickname is one of the most treasures.
• 33:17
  He thanked Lonnie and escorted her to the back.
• 33:19
  People kept thinking that, you know, he made about himself that
• 33:25
  like he's now a member of the board, so he just decided to
• 33:30
  come out and make his own title and have her presented to him.
• 33:41
  I thought it was it was nice. I thought it was sweet, you
• 33:45
  know, I I didn't think that it was, you know?
• 33:49
  I mean, of course he's. Going to make it about him, but
• 33:53
  I think it was just a little piece of why he, you know, he
• 33:59
  calls himself the people's champ, you know?
• 34:02
  And even even though he's heel right now, people still love
• 34:07
  him, right? It's it's awesome.
• 34:11
  I I saw that, ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know,
• 34:21
  Mendis here has been talking about her.
• 34:25
  What is it? The Brahma Bull.
• 34:27
  Yeah. The Brahma bull championship
• 34:30
  belt from the 90s. That rock conveniently lost
• 34:37
  somewhere under a bridge. You happen to have found it?
• 34:44
  Yeah, so she went on Instagram, posted a picture of herself with
• 34:49
  the championship belt, saying, hey, we need to rock our
• 34:51
  twinsies. I did.
• 34:55
  When I got it, I was like, hey. Like, I'm glad you have.
• 35:00
  That. Belt with you?
• 35:01
  Yeah, I thought I busted it out this past weekend.
• 35:05
  It was just fitting. It was.
• 35:07
  It was just sitting. It was just collecting dust.
• 35:09
  So you might as well. Hey, if Rock can have one, I
• 35:12
  already have one too. Yeah.
• 35:16
  Next up was the UX Express. Mike Rotonda and Barry Wyndham.
• 35:22
  Taylor Rotonda and his sister both inducted on the US Express.
• 35:29
  Of course Mike Rotonda, Barry Wyndham said.
• 35:31
  Thank you all that stuff. They talked about their past,
• 35:35
  their matches. WrestleMania won and which made
• 35:41
  me cry at the very end. They brought, they took out
• 35:43
  their cell phones. Barry had to help Microtunda
• 35:46
  with that because, you know, he does not know how to like work
• 35:50
  his phone. Old people, you know, technology
• 35:55
  stuff, you know, and let all the Fireflies know that Barry is
• 36:02
  with them as well as everybody in the crowd brought out their
• 36:06
  phone and the Fireflies came out.
• 36:10
  That was beautiful. We all loved it.
• 36:12
  We appreciated that. Next up was Thunderbolt
• 36:17
  Patterson Dom, inducted by one of his best friends.
• 36:25
  His the guy that keeps up with him.
• 36:30
  He was just hyping him up, but they were inducted by the New
• 36:34
  Day. Biggie came out and I was loving
• 36:39
  it. Of course they did.
• 36:41
  The whole guy rating up the hip. We missed that shit around here.
• 36:45
  And then the biggest I can ever Philadelphia.
• 36:53
  Yeah, all that stuff. He did that.
• 36:54
  We we loved it after it. The one that was announced this
• 37:01
  past week didn't realize she was being honored, but it was Leah
• 37:07
  Mayavia. Everything I know about her is
• 37:10
  from young rock. Like Dwayne just told the entire
• 37:14
  story about his grandma. From there, of course.
• 37:17
  Nothing. No, nothing to hide.
• 37:19
  He told it in his own way. Here, the the actress who plays
• 37:26
  Grandma Mayavia in Young Rock narrated the entire thing.
• 37:31
  Or Lea Mayavia's induction speech intro, actually.
• 37:38
  And then The Rock came out again and, you know, inducted his
• 37:42
  grandma and then decided to get in character and top bash Cody
• 37:47
  Rhodes right behind him. And I'm just like, oh, this is
• 37:51
  awkward. Well, you have to be awkward,
• 37:54
  Sir. Yeah, it's not about you and
• 37:58
  your story line right now. Can you please come back to
• 38:01
  grandma? Grandma just induct your
• 38:03
  grandma. Get it on, please.
• 38:05
  I saw Paul Heyman was going to be the main event.
• 38:07
  Apparently not. Liam Ivia is the main event in
• 38:09
  this and I'm like nobody knows who she is.
• 38:13
  Oh yes they do. One of few things here and there
• 38:20
  that happened. People were recording when Roman
• 38:24
  Reigns came out to and Doug Paul Heyman, You saw NIA Jax raise
• 38:29
  her hand due to pointing rise for the bloodline.
• 38:34
  Fingers in the sky. Jimmy of course doing the finger
• 38:38
  in the sky next to him and his wife Naomi, who didn't put her
• 38:42
  finger in the sky at all. She was told no your face, don't
• 38:45
  do that Jay. Jay was just sitting down the
• 38:50
  entire time. He didn't care.
• 38:52
  He was. He had AG glass on sitting right
• 38:55
  next to his son. They blogged the entire weekend
• 38:58
  on their YouTube channel Or should be on YouTube or should
• 39:03
  be on TikTok. Around there.
• 39:07
  Everybody had fun on that except for everybody complaining about
• 39:11
  The Rock and, you know, him being awkward.
• 39:21
  Yeah, it was. There's a time and a place for
• 39:27
  that. That wasn't the place.
• 39:29
  But you know, when you're on the board, you can do what you want.
• 39:34
  I guess Everybody had fun on that except for everybody
• 39:46
  complaining about the rock and, you know, him being awkward.
• 39:56
  Yeah, it was. There's a time and a place for
• 40:02
  that, and that wasn't the place. But you know, right when you're
• 40:08
  on the board, you can do what you want I guess.
• 40:11
  WrestleMania, night one at Phil and Philadelphia, PA at the
• 40:19
  Lincoln Financial Field. The attendance for night one was
• 40:22
  72,543. The attendance for night two was
• 40:25
  72,000 and 755. We're combined total of 1100 and
• 40:32
  45,298. I say the same people showed up
• 40:36
  except for night two. It's like more people showed up
• 40:39
  on that night. Oh, yeah, I'm like, where'd they
• 40:41
  put 200 more people, 200 more people.
• 40:45
  Like, you combined the group. Oh, that's weird.
• 40:48
  Why would you combine that? This 200 more.
• 40:51
  That's it. That's your combined total.
• 40:54
  It's the same people showed up. It's the same thing.
• 40:57
  Like, hey, we got like if it was a one night thing, it would be
• 41:01
  like, OK, you got 200 more people.
• 41:04
  Yeah. So we are going to tell you what
• 41:06
  we saw at WrestleMania 40. I'm going to include the press
• 41:09
  conference as well. So this is going to be a long
• 41:11
  show already. Mute is coming in, didn't you?
• 41:14
  Our predictions episode 2, two hours and 10 minutes long.
• 41:19
  Imagine how this episode is going to be.
• 41:24
  I know it is 150th episode. I mean I I wasn't thinking of
• 41:28
  anything else. But that, after it's all over,
• 41:31
  doesn't hold up as one of the greatest WrestleMania all time.
• 41:35
  Find out later, all right On Night 1, Grammy Award winner and
• 41:40
  singer winnings, Grammy award-winning singer Coco Jones
• 41:44
  opened the show by performing the Star Spangled Planner.
• 41:47
  If you don't know who Coco Jones is, she also plays Hilary Banks
• 41:50
  on the new Bel Air show on Peacock season three, I believe
• 41:54
  now should be. Samantha Irvin was working all
• 41:59
  night on both nights, introducing everyone in the
• 42:02
  ring. Shout out to her.
• 42:05
  Yes, Samantha the. Bomb.
• 42:10
  It was also noted that it was cold that night with Michael
• 42:15
  Cole announcing it was 51° with and it felt like 48°.
• 42:21
  Of course, meteorologist coming in for the safe.
• 42:26
  Same thing happened the next night as well, but it was much
• 42:29
  more warmer Or cooler. No, it was warmer.
• 42:33
  No, it was warmer. It was warmer.
• 42:34
  OK, it was warmer. Yep.
• 42:37
  Triple H came out welcoming everyone to the event and I
• 42:40
  should have in a new era. What are we calling this era?
• 42:43
  I'm not going to call it the Triple H era, he said.
• 42:47
  It's our era. It's everybody's.
• 42:52
  It's the WWE Universe era, I'm going to say because it's for
• 42:58
  the fans. It's for the fans.
• 43:02
  There's the Triple H era, the Cody Verse era, or the storyline
• 43:08
  era, cinematic storyline era. That's what they That's what
• 43:13
  I've heard around the TikTok Wrestle T.O.K community.
• 43:22
  So yeah, I might call it the Cody verse, or I might call it
• 43:28
  the the storyline ever. I like the storyline ever
• 43:32
  better. I'm not going to call it coder
• 43:34
  because that's it. If I'm going to call anybody of
• 43:38
  verse, it'd be Roman Reigns tribal chief, first era, first
• 43:46
  match of the night. Oh goodness gracious.
• 43:50
  Rhea Ripley defeated Becky Lynch for the Women's World
• 43:53
  Championship. 17 minutes and 5 seconds.
• 43:57
  Becky Lynch opened the show with entire themed around the cover
• 44:00
  for new memoir, The Man Not Your Average Girl.
• 44:06
  Wait, The Man Not Your Average Average Girl.
• 44:10
  She had. She had pages of her book as the
• 44:12
  coat sales of her dress. I wasn't reading any of them
• 44:20
  after that. Motionless In White, the band
• 44:24
  played Demon in Your Dream, True introduced 3 at Ripley.
• 44:27
  She Comes out her and the. The lead singer of Motionless
• 44:37
  and White did the whole stomping, stomping their foot
• 44:43
  right. Yep, I thought it was pretty
• 44:46
  awesome. I thought it was a pretty
• 44:48
  awesome opening to have them there and she just looked
• 44:53
  amazing. Shot at the moment, she looked
• 44:58
  great. A year ago today, Chris
• 45:02
  Motionless had the leader of the lead singer of Motionless In
• 45:07
  White. Chris Motionless had put it up
• 45:10
  on YouTube that he was letting Aria Ripley use the song and
• 45:16
  everything. All that stuff.
• 45:17
  Comments in there from a year ago, like, hey, now you know,
• 45:21
  like you have a wrestler performing your song.
• 45:26
  Now let's get you to WrestleMania.
• 45:29
  A year later he is at WrestleMania performing the song
• 45:35
  to introduce Ria Ripley. So of course I had to go in
• 45:39
  there, put my two cents in, well, not two cents.
• 45:42
  It's just like A and a year later he was at WrestleMania.
• 45:46
  They willed it. His fans wield it, of course.
• 45:52
  That was awesome. I loved that.
• 45:53
  Loved the band. I started listening to them.
• 45:55
  Oh, did you OK, yes. During the match, Lynch applied
• 46:02
  to disarm her on Ripley, who was able to escape by performing the
• 46:05
  sit out powerbomb for a near fall.
• 46:07
  As Ripley attempted the Riptide, Lynch countered into a manhandle
• 46:11
  slam for a near fall. Ripley then hit the Riptide for
• 46:14
  another near fall. In the climax Lynch attempt for
• 46:17
  the 2nd Manhandle slam, Ripley countered and performed 2
• 46:19
  consecutive grip ties to retain the title.
• 46:23
  And as she says in the press conference, mommy is always on
• 46:28
  top. What did you think of it?
• 46:36
  We all, we all loved it. It was awesome, you know?
• 46:40
  And I I appreciate Ria's saying, you know, being in character,
• 46:46
  but. You know so.
• 46:48
  She, I guess you could say she broke character and she gave
• 46:52
  praise to Becky being, you know, a good fighter and you know she
• 46:57
  just had nothing negative to say.
• 47:01
  Even if you're even if you're, you know, a heel.
• 47:04
  Still give credit where credit is due.
• 47:07
  They both showed up and they did such an amazing job and the fact
• 47:13
  that Becky was not feeling well and still performed Bravo to
• 47:19
  her. Bravo, yeah.
• 47:23
  I'm Cody in the field. Hi, Rhea.
• 47:25
  Hi. I'm a Special Olympics athlete
• 47:28
  and WrestleMania 40s community correspondent.
• 47:31
  Here's my question for you. How does it feel to retain that
• 47:36
  title and still be the best nightmare of all time?
• 47:42
  It feels bloody fantastic to say the least.
• 47:47
  Look, I I went out there with one of the best in this
• 47:50
  federation, Becky Lynch, and to be able to step toe to toe with
• 47:55
  her and bring the fight to her, it meant the absolute world to
• 47:58
  me. And to be able to have it on the
• 47:59
  grandest stage of them all at Wrestle Mania, Exhale, The
• 48:02
  largest Wrestle Mania there is. It's very, very special.
• 48:05
  And not only that, but to have Motionless and White be there to
• 48:10
  everything sort of came together for mommy.
• 48:12
  And I proved once again that Mommy is always on top.
• 48:19
  IREA Cameron Hawkins from The Ringer.
• 48:21
  We had a conversation back in January about the authenticity
• 48:25
  that you've been presenting with your character.
• 48:27
  I think we got to see a lot more of that tonight especially.
• 48:30
  Can you just talk about the creative freedom you've been
• 48:32
  given and how that's really helped your career today?
• 48:35
  Yeah, Every time I step out there in front of everyone and
• 48:40
  even doing things away from the crowd as well, I feel like I get
• 48:45
  to be the genuine person that I am.
• 48:49
  Obviously it's a it's a little bit revved up because some of
• 48:53
  the things I I do I would get arrested for in everyday life.
• 48:57
  But on the other hand, it's it's just an organic version of me.
• 49:03
  It's it's how I would react to things.
• 49:05
  It's what I would say to things. It's how I would feel
• 49:08
  emotionally to the things that are happening around me.
• 49:10
  And I've had a lot of creative freedom with that.
• 49:13
  I get to be myself. I get to be genuine.
• 49:15
  I get to go out there and, you know, be the badass that you all
• 49:19
  love, be the mommy that you all love.
• 49:20
  But also show that side of me where I do let you see that
• 49:24
  little glimpse into my life, where I am excited genuinely
• 49:28
  about something that's happening in my life.
• 49:30
  Like you saw tonight with Motionless and why me and Chris,
• 49:33
  they're screaming at each other. That's that's a life moment
• 49:37
  right there. That's something that I've
• 49:38
  absolutely dreamt of my entire life.
• 49:41
  I've loved that band since high school, and I'm so privileged
• 49:45
  that they got to come here and be a part of this massive moment
• 49:48
  for me. So for me, I get a lot of
• 49:50
  freedom, but I feel like that works because you guys see the
• 49:54
  true person that I am and that's what makes it easier to connect
• 49:58
  with. Graham Matthews with The Bleach
• 50:05
  Report Between beating Charlotte Flair last year, WrestleMania,
• 50:08
  beating Becky Lynch tonight, Does this cement the end of the
• 50:11
  Four Horse Women Era and WWE for women's wrestling?
• 50:15
  You know the four horse women era.
• 50:16
  It will live on forever. They accomplished so much.
• 50:20
  They took the women's division to heights that we could have
• 50:24
  only dreamt of. They've done so much for the
• 50:26
  business, and I have all the respect for every single one of
• 50:29
  them. I feel like the way that I've
• 50:33
  been going WrestleMania after WrestleMania finally knocking
• 50:37
  off the horse woman and same as Bianca Bellaire, she's been
• 50:40
  doing the same. We've been proving that there is
• 50:43
  a shift coming and these new women, they are taking over and
• 50:47
  we're showing out. We're trying to take it to
• 50:49
  higher heights that it has been taken to.
• 50:54
  Obviously for horse women, they're amazing at what they do
• 50:58
  and we don't want them to leave, but they're going to have to
• 51:02
  move over because we're taking over at the same time.
• 51:10
  Hey, Bria, This is Stephanie with Body Samnett.
• 51:12
  Congratulations on your win. Thank you.
• 51:14
  However, you're dirty. Dom lost, and Finn and Damian
• 51:18
  also lost. So how are you feeling about
• 51:20
  that? Yeah, I mean, I'm not too stoked
• 51:25
  about it to be completely honest.
• 51:29
  It sucks. It sucks.
• 51:30
  We really wanted tonight to be the moment for the Judgement
• 51:34
  Day, where we solidify ourselves as the main threat here within
• 51:38
  the WWE. I'm always going to be proud of
• 51:41
  my boys, always. They put up a hell of a fight.
• 51:45
  Damian and Finn were in there with many other tag teams, so
• 51:51
  the the odds were stacked against them.
• 51:53
  Obviously it's a lot of match as well.
• 51:54
  We got Finn who's scared of heights, so that was just a
• 51:58
  setup, you know, But I feel like they they still did so well.
• 52:05
  And then there's my Latino heat, my dirty Dom.
• 52:09
  Dominic Mistario and I will forever be so extremely proud of
• 52:16
  him and his accomplishments and how much he's grown in the past
• 52:20
  year and a half to two years. He has skyrocketed with his
• 52:23
  confidence and everything that he does is just so genuine and
• 52:27
  he is proving to everyone that he belongs here.
• 52:31
  He's not just Rey Mysterio's son, he belongs here.
• 52:34
  So I'm. I'm always going to be proud of
• 52:35
  him, but there is that side of me as well where I'm frustrated,
• 52:38
  man. I'm frustrated.
• 52:41
  The Judgement Day, we were supposed to take over
• 52:43
  WrestleMania XL and the boys just they didn't, they didn't
• 52:47
  get it done completely. But we'll have to reconnect in
• 52:52
  the next day or two and talk about it and see what happens.
• 52:57
  I guess mommy's always on top, so they know that.
• 53:02
  Final question for Rhea. Today's S Sado Instinct,
• 53:07
  culture, Rhea. This match with Becky Lynch has
• 53:10
  been one that a lot of people have been waiting for.
• 53:12
  You and I spoke about it. I spoke about it with Becky and
• 53:15
  given just the anticipation of it all, from the moment, from
• 53:19
  you walking out to the match itself, to the bell ringing to
• 53:22
  you holding up the championship, how did you feel throughout the
• 53:25
  entire thing and how did you feel about the performance that
• 53:28
  you guys both put on? I think it was spectacular.
• 53:32
  Like you said, we've been building to this for a long,
• 53:34
  long time. Becky and I haven't had a match
• 53:36
  on television since NXT days and that had no conclusion to the
• 53:42
  match because Shayna Basler, Marina Shaffir and Jasmine Duke
• 53:45
  came out and they absolutely destroyed that for us.
• 53:49
  So this match it's it's been built up for a long long time
• 53:53
  and to have it at such a on a such an amazing stage as
• 53:57
  WrestleMania XL have everything sort of fall into place with the
• 54:01
  band with with the crowd, with the everything that's been going
• 54:05
  on. It was it was spectacular.
• 54:08
  I I feel like this could possibly just be the start for
• 54:13
  me and Becky as well. I feel like we haven't had many
• 54:18
  chances to show you exactly what we have together and we want to
• 54:22
  make more magic. But tonight was special and
• 54:26
  tonight I think, I think she was a little bit upset, you know,
• 54:33
  don't blame her. Made sure to sit across the ring
• 54:35
  from her after everything, and I think that she might want to get
• 54:39
  a little payback at some point in her career.
• 54:41
  But right now I'm content. I'm happy with the way it went
• 54:45
  and let's see what the future holds.
• 54:50
  Ria Ripley, congratulations again.
• 54:52
  Take some time and enjoy your win here tonight.
• 54:55
  Oh, don't worry Byron. I will thank you of.
• 55:02
  Course. So I'm going to have the press
• 55:07
  conference her on the press conference.
• 55:10
  I'm going to have everybody's press conference.
• 55:11
  Well, whoever showed up. So that's her at this moment.
• 55:19
  And you, you were there. I was like, I had to watch it
• 55:22
  live, not live on the live. And I was like, oh, yeah.
• 55:27
  So I loved every part of it, including privileges, speech
• 55:33
  about everything. Basically the analytics, the
• 55:37
  attendance, all that stuff. Like, he's just like me.
• 55:40
  We're always checking the analytics, you know?
• 55:42
  We're always checking the numbers, Sure.
• 55:46
  Or I'm just like him. Basically.
• 55:47
  I'm just like him. I'm always checking the stuff.
• 55:53
  Next match is the Six Pack Tag Team ladder match for the
• 55:55
  undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
• 55:58
  Both belts actually 8 Town done under awesome.
• 56:02
  Darren Grayson. Waller versus The Awesome Truth.
• 56:05
  The Mid and R Truth versus Judgment Day from Valentine and
• 56:09
  Priest versus DIY. Johnny Garano.
• 56:11
  Tomato Champa, The New Day Kofi Kingston.
• 56:13
  The Favorite. Can you catch Republic Peace
• 56:15
  down Tyler Bait? They had a win by retrieving
• 56:18
  both Smackdown and Raw Championships respectively.
• 56:22
  The match lasted 17 minutes and 25 seconds after being mistaken
• 56:28
  for Degeneration X by R2. DIY showed their love for the
• 56:31
  legendary duel of Triple H and John Michaels by coming out the
• 56:37
  same way. That triplet, the Degeneration X
• 56:39
  come out. Not the song, but just the
• 56:45
  whole. They're outfits.
• 56:46
  Yeah, they're outfits too. Like the second, the third
• 56:53
  incarnation. The third incarnation.
• 56:54
  Yeah, basically. All is right with Shawn Michael.
• 57:05
  All is right with the Lord. Shawn Michael born again,
• 57:06
  Christian Shawn, Michael, basically.
• 57:09
  And let's talk about Dick Strip like that those those two.
• 57:17
  The New Day paid tribute to Rocky Babo and a six Pack Tag
• 57:20
  Team ladder match. Kobe King wore an attire based
• 57:22
  on the Italian Stallion while Xavier Woods Apollo Creed
• 57:25
  inspired tire also served as a nod to his TNA days as
• 57:30
  consequences. Creed Frank Kazarian went to
• 57:34
  Twitter and posted a picture of himself wearing the Rocky robe
• 57:36
  and Jay Lethal wearing the Apollo Creed office on Rocky
• 57:39
  floor and said emulate the great who emulate the greats, love and
• 57:43
  respect to a couple of studs. However, without missing a beat
• 57:47
  because it's what they do now. TNA posted all video footage of
• 57:51
  the Xavier Woods as consequence Creed so that was fun.
• 57:58
  They've been doing that a lot of that lately.
• 58:01
  Anytime somebody from old TNA show up and do something N EE
• 58:06
  like hey here here was this person back in TNA.
• 58:10
  Look at look at them. During the match, Truth
• 58:14
  performed the IO2 adjustment of Balor and pinned him for a three
• 58:16
  count. That's not how you win the
• 58:19
  match, Truth. I know, but I knew that was
• 58:22
  going to happen. Truth celebrated sinking.
• 58:26
  It was a traditional tag team match but misinformed that they
• 58:29
  had to pull title belts down. Truth then suggested that Garano
• 58:32
  Chompa go to go after the RAW Tag Team Championship, while he
• 58:35
  and Miss would go after a Smackdown Tag Team Championship.
• 58:38
  The two teams were knocked down by Thierry and Waller, who
• 58:41
  climbed the ladder and retrieved the Smack Down Tag Team
• 58:43
  Championship. Who'd you say was going to win?
• 58:48
  I thought they were. I think I thought it was a town
• 58:54
  down under. OK, there you go.
• 58:57
  They won. They won the Spectrum.
• 59:00
  I got that one. But for the life in me, I
• 59:02
  couldn't remember. And I didn't get it.
• 59:03
  I didn't. You know, I listened to us
• 59:05
  twice, right? So that's four hours.
• 59:08
  I still. Don't remember who I said was
• 59:12
  going to win the RAW championship.
• 59:13
  I'm sorry. You you listened to me too.
• 59:17
  You listened to both of us for two, four hours.
• 59:19
  Why? Oh, anybody who's been, like,
• 59:22
  binge listening here, here you are.
• 59:24
  OK, so the whole reason why I listened to it twice was I
• 59:29
  started listening to it and then I would, like, fall asleep and
• 59:32
  then wake up and it would be at different parts.
• 59:35
  So I wanted to hear it for you. Oh, same thing.
• 59:40
  Same thing I do when I edit the show.
• 59:43
  Yeah. I fall asleep during 'cause I
• 59:46
  can't. I sleep to my own voice.
• 59:48
  Yeah. And it's.
• 59:50
  Not that you're boring, you know.
• 59:53
  No, we just have this whole, what do you call it?
• 59:57
  We're suit. We have suiting voices,
• 59:58
  basically, yes, we could make a baby fall asleep right at this
• 1:00:03
  moment. Shh.
• 1:00:04
  It's OK, little baby. I know you're tired.
• 1:00:08
  Who should we talk to? Lisa?
• 1:00:10
  Alright, we understand your baby cry.
• 1:00:14
  Have your baby listen to a podcast.
• 1:00:18
  We will help your baby fall asleep.
• 1:00:24
  That's right. That's right, we will help your
• 1:00:28
  baby fall asleep. Just listen to us.
• 1:00:31
  So the Smackdown Attacking Championships are owned by
• 1:00:34
  Darian Waller. Judgment Day member JD McDonough
• 1:00:37
  interfered, but Kingston was tipped over the ladder, causing
• 1:00:39
  McDonough to crash through the table.
• 1:00:41
  Oh my God. Oh goodness.
• 1:00:45
  Why is always JD though? Damn.
• 1:00:52
  In the end, Truth performed another added to adjustment that
• 1:00:54
  sent Preached over the top rope to the floor.
• 1:00:56
  Truth then climbed the Ladder Retrievement RAW Tag Team
• 1:00:58
  Championship in the match and split the titles.
• 1:01:01
  This made Truth the oldest RAW Tag team champion in the history
• 1:01:05
  titles history and marked his first win at the annual event.
• 1:01:13
  That's awesome. Excuse me.
• 1:01:16
  Awesome. There you go.
• 1:01:18
  True. It's true.
• 1:01:20
  It's true. Well, during the match he waited
• 1:01:25
  for the the tag again, like always.
• 1:01:29
  And which upset, I don't know why it like annoyed priest and
• 1:01:36
  valor, but it did. It's like, what are you doing?
• 1:01:39
  I know. I was like, OK, you know what?
• 1:01:43
  They should know that that's just him.
• 1:01:47
  Yeah. You know, I was like, you know
• 1:01:50
  what? Let me shag him in.
• 1:01:52
  And then you beat him up, you know?
• 1:01:55
  Yeah. And the fact that when truth
• 1:01:59
  went up to grab the belt, I kept saying I thought you were scared
• 1:02:02
  of heights. Like just, you know, bringing it
• 1:02:09
  back to when he said he had agoraphobia and he was afraid of
• 1:02:14
  spiders and he was afraid of spiders on the ladder and he was
• 1:02:17
  afraid of heights. So I'm like, sitting there, it's
• 1:02:21
  like you've accomplished your fear of heights, bro.
• 1:02:24
  Yes, that's awesome. Truth.
• 1:02:27
  You did it. Not only did you accomplish your
• 1:02:30
  fear of heights, but you are now the raw tag team champion, The
• 1:02:34
  oldest raw tag team champion in titles history.
• 1:02:40
  How old is How old is truth? 22.
• 1:02:45
  No way. 52 years old. I thought he was younger.
• 1:02:49
  No man's been around forever. Yeah, I know.
• 1:02:55
  And you know what? He's still in your have the belt
• 1:02:58
  pulse. He does, He does, He did.
• 1:03:02
  And he can keep up with, you know, with the younger
• 1:03:05
  superstar. So bravo to him.
• 1:03:07
  He sure, he sure can. He's just as crazy, but he sure
• 1:03:11
  can. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:03:13
  I think that's what makes him, you know, But everybody likes
• 1:03:16
  him, you know? So we relate to him.
• 1:03:19
  Like, yeah, like, yeah. Next up is Rey Mysterio and
• 1:03:23
  Andrade with Carlito Grusdo, the Joaquin Wild, Lina Vega.
• 1:03:27
  You still couldn't get one of those to tag which OK, defeat
• 1:03:31
  the Santos Escobar and Dirty Dominic Mysterio with Angel
• 1:03:35
  Alberto and Alexa Lopez by pinfall in the match last 11
• 1:03:39
  minutes by a second. A Rey Mysterio World of colors
• 1:03:43
  the Philadelphia Eagles and included Eagles on the attire.
• 1:03:51
  The Latino World order in Legado de Fantasma each with 14 of a
• 1:03:54
  second and third generation wrestler.
• 1:03:57
  Santos Escobar is the son of El Fantasma Dasma Legado del
• 1:04:00
  Fantasma name. He is joined by Dominic of
• 1:04:02
  course, son of Rey. Rey Mysterio is a nephew of
• 1:04:04
  wrestler originally Mysterio and Andrade son of Espanto terror.
• 1:04:09
  So This is why I said like it wouldn't make sense for Dragon
• 1:04:15
  Lee to join. He's just first generation in
• 1:04:18
  there, but he does have a mask and he is a literature, so he
• 1:04:23
  basically fits with that. But he doesn't fit with what
• 1:04:26
  they were trying to do here, which was the entire everybody
• 1:04:30
  in there, even Angel and Alberto, Alberto, I'm sorry, not
• 1:04:34
  Alberto, Angel and Berto, Angel. Garza No, yeah, yeah, you're
• 1:04:41
  right. Angel Garza.
• 1:04:43
  Cousins who are related to Hector Garza.
• 1:04:47
  And of course they shout out their grandfather.
• 1:04:54
  Yeah, Rey Mysterio and Drade accompanied my crew, everybody.
• 1:05:00
  In the end, two mass men showed up and helped Ray, who then hit
• 1:05:02
  Dominic and Escobar with a 619. Andre Drade took out Dominic and
• 1:05:07
  Ray Payne and Escobar to win the match after matched amassment,
• 1:05:10
  celebrating with the Latino world order.
• 1:05:11
  And we're real to be Philadelphia Eagles offensive
• 1:05:13
  lineman Jason Kelsey and Wayne Johnson.
• 1:05:17
  But you still couldn't bring it back.
• 1:05:19
  I do. Jason Kelsey was gonna be there.
• 1:05:24
  Of course. Everybody saw that.
• 1:05:25
  Like, who are these guys, right? Well, see, it's funny because I
• 1:05:31
  was telling my family that earlier in the week I saw on
• 1:05:36
  Instagram that Rey Mysterio was like, you know, Jason Kelsey,
• 1:05:40
  you know, congratulations on, you know, your retirement.
• 1:05:44
  And I saw you in, you know, your luchador mask at the Super Bowl.
• 1:05:51
  So we're going to be in Philadelphia, you know, come
• 1:05:53
  get, you know, a real mask, you know.
• 1:05:58
  And so I was like, that would be, I was saying to myself that
• 1:06:00
  would be funny if somehow he showed up and he did, you know.
• 1:06:09
  But as soon as he took, I was like, that makes sense.
• 1:06:12
  You know he's, he's crazy guy, right?
• 1:06:18
  During the match, Joaquin Wilde told Carlito and Cruz he wanted
• 1:06:25
  his WrestleMania moment, so he did his thing where they he
• 1:06:32
  jumped from the middle rope and went, what, 12 feet?
• 1:06:38
  Yeah, away? Yes, the what a great
• 1:06:42
  WrestleMania moment that was. I'm like.
• 1:06:46
  He's crazy to one of you. All.
• 1:06:51
  The way over there. Launch me.
• 1:06:53
  Do it. I don't care.
• 1:06:55
  I want my WrestleMania moment and I'm so glad he said that.
• 1:06:59
  Like he deserve that WrestleMania moment.
• 1:07:03
  Yeah. And it had saved that spot for
• 1:07:05
  until now. It would have been great too.
• 1:07:08
  Yeah, and watching it back, because I watched night one
• 1:07:14
  again with my younger sister, because she couldn't come over
• 1:07:17
  to watch it with us at first. Santos and Rey Mysterio just
• 1:07:25
  were like resting in the corner when that happened, You know
• 1:07:30
  what I mean? So it's like they must have said
• 1:07:33
  something. I was like, you would have
• 1:07:34
  thought Santos would have tried to, you know, botch that so that
• 1:07:40
  he didn't get his moment. But they were just sitting there
• 1:07:42
  chilling, you know, in different corners.
• 1:07:45
  So I was like, you know, that's that's nice, you know?
• 1:07:49
  And then the fighters. Yeah.
• 1:07:51
  And that corner was the far left, upper corner where they
• 1:08:00
  were being launched, where he was being launched.
• 1:08:03
  I'm like thinking, oh, he's going to watch it.
• 1:08:06
  He's going to make, he's going to stop, he's going to stop it.
• 1:08:08
  No, he let it go. I'm like, really?
• 1:08:11
  Meanwhile, Ray Monster is in the far corner on lower right side.
• 1:08:16
  Yeah. I was like, I think you two
• 1:08:17
  should have been switched or switched around or something.
• 1:08:20
  But they lost their sighting. Yeah.
• 1:08:23
  So yeah, Andrade and Rey Mysterio.
• 1:08:30
  Andrade, is Andrade part of the LWO or is he just there?
• 1:08:38
  Because I just think he's an ally.
• 1:08:42
  He's an ally, yeah. I mean, but he could be in the
• 1:08:48
  LWO and then, you know, Zelena will come out with him, you
• 1:08:52
  know? So it could be like when he was
• 1:08:55
  in WWE before and you know when he was in NXT, have her in his
• 1:08:59
  corner. But I think that he's just an
• 1:09:03
  ally. Yeah, so.
• 1:09:07
  But you know, we'll see, you know, time will tell.
• 1:09:09
  And so we'll see what happens next match.
• 1:09:17
  Superkick party. Jay USO defeated Jimmy USO at 11
• 1:09:21
  minutes and five seconds, the third ever brother brother match
• 1:09:27
  at Wrestle Mania after Bret Hart with Oven Hart at Wrestle Mania
• 1:09:30
  10 in March 1984 and Jeff Hardy with Matt Hardy at Wrestle Mania
• 1:09:33
  25 in April of 2009. Both of these matches the heel
• 1:09:39
  won. Owen Hart had beaten Bret Hart.
• 1:09:43
  Matt Hardy had beaten Jeff Hardy.
• 1:09:45
  This is the first match where brother versus brother and where
• 1:09:49
  in the face actually wins. During the match, Jay and Jimmy
• 1:09:53
  would trade multiple super kicks against each other.
• 1:09:55
  Of course it was it was it like I said, I said it.
• 1:10:00
  I said it. It's like it didn't.
• 1:10:02
  You did and. It didn't.
• 1:10:06
  It's just like, Oh my God, I wasn't expecting anything out of
• 1:10:10
  this match at all. It was just like, all right,
• 1:10:14
  we're just going to continue the story of how you're my brother,
• 1:10:18
  but, you know, come back to me and all that and I'm going to
• 1:10:21
  fucking kick your face in multiple times.
• 1:10:25
  And you know what? I should have just counted the
• 1:10:28
  superkicks just the same way I can the chops or drum their
• 1:10:31
  match. But I wasn't thinking like, oh,
• 1:10:34
  this is going to be a great match.
• 1:10:36
  Just same way I did last year when they were like the Usos
• 1:10:39
  versus Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens where I actually counted the
• 1:10:44
  superkicks. I just didn't realize they were
• 1:10:46
  going to do superkicks here. And then after that I was like,
• 1:10:49
  I hate this so much. Yeah, I will say I do like the
• 1:10:55
  the intro that they did, you know, leading up to the fight
• 1:10:59
  and that was awesome. And even the ending I was like,
• 1:11:03
  oh I hate this, but I will say it was.
• 1:11:10
  It was a good match but. It.
• 1:11:14
  It was kind of anti climactic. There was, but do you know,
• 1:11:21
  We'll see. Let's see where it heads now.
• 1:11:24
  Yeah, as Jay was about to perform a super kick.
• 1:11:26
  Jimmy apologize not for the handshake while it needs to Jay.
• 1:11:30
  He later then shook him from his hand and helped him up, but
• 1:11:33
  Jimmy pushed and super kicked Jay.
• 1:11:35
  Jimmy then performed this frog flash on Jay for a near applause
• 1:11:38
  in the AJ performed the spear and usual splash on Jimmy to win
• 1:11:41
  the match. It wasn't really necessary to
• 1:11:44
  have the match. I saw they've been saying it
• 1:11:49
  though. I was like, oh, my dream is to
• 1:11:50
  have a match with my brother and they did it and like this is
• 1:11:53
  what the end result of it, this is what you wanted out of it.
• 1:11:57
  If it was, if it was for. A belt.
• 1:12:01
  Then I'd be involved. Yeah, me too.
• 1:12:05
  Like you have the bloodline rule stuff going on, but might as
• 1:12:10
  well bring your family. Might as well bring your
• 1:12:12
  freaking dad into this. No.
• 1:12:14
  Stop fighting. No.
• 1:12:16
  But no, he was there at the freaking Hall of Fame.
• 1:12:19
  I know what a even the other Samoans Haku was there.
• 1:12:25
  Come on, don't do this. Don't do this, Jay.
• 1:12:29
  Like if you did it for like Jay was Roman at what was it for The
• 1:12:36
  hell in a cell and Jimmy came out when we weren't expecting
• 1:12:40
  Jimmy and try to plead with Rome at the stop.
• 1:12:44
  Why not do it here also? Do it here also and like plead
• 1:12:50
  with Jay to stop because Jay was just like throwing, kicking,
• 1:12:53
  kicking, kicking. Hey.
• 1:12:56
  Kick. Let's kick more.
• 1:12:57
  Let's kick another one. Oh, I'm going to go back and
• 1:13:01
  count the kicks, I guess. I sure won't.
• 1:13:05
  And you can update us later, right?
• 1:13:07
  I'll update it later. We'll come back to this match
• 1:13:10
  again and be like, yeah, this happened.
• 1:13:14
  Oh, sorry. Next match, Bianca Bel Air, Jade
• 1:13:18
  Cargo and Naomi defeated damage control.
• 1:13:20
  Dakota, Chi, Oska and Kyrie Sing 8 minutes.
• 1:13:25
  The EST, the Glow and the storm. I saw that on TikTok.
• 1:13:36
  So last year, 2023, saw Bianca Beller carry W Gold, J Cargill
• 1:13:40
  carry AW Gold, and Naomi carry DNA Gold.
• 1:13:44
  These three were doing their own thing.
• 1:13:46
  Last year they were in a separate they were in their own
• 1:13:50
  zone. So yes, they were doing their
• 1:13:55
  stuff. They were doing their thing and
• 1:13:57
  I enjoyed it. And now they're doing their
• 1:14:00
  thing here. Indiana Oscar, they're clearly
• 1:14:03
  sprayed, staying with the mist, following Bel Air with Oscar
• 1:14:06
  with a pony, Towns, Vlada with a Kyode.
• 1:14:08
  Cargill performed the Jay did on Kai to win the match.
• 1:14:12
  So basically we saw Jay, Cargill and Naomi the 1st 7 minutes of
• 1:14:18
  the match. No, I'm sorry.
• 1:14:21
  Bianca, Bella and Naomi, Yeah. Bianca and Naomi, yeah.
• 1:14:25
  See. And I thought Jade would get
• 1:14:27
  more time. You know, exactly.
• 1:14:29
  With limited time on her limit show, limit what she can do in
• 1:14:34
  the ring. We're not going to see it until
• 1:14:36
  possibly later. Jade Cargill gets that one
• 1:14:40
  minute of freaking time and does her finisher and then wins the
• 1:14:46
  match. And I'm like, that's it.
• 1:14:51
  Like AW did More for Jayden. This right here.
• 1:14:59
  But Jay. But WE is like, hey our star
• 1:15:03
  attraction is Jay Cargill. Let us limit her.
• 1:15:08
  Can she still not wrestle or is there like are you trying to
• 1:15:11
  like build her up Is there going to be.
• 1:15:14
  I think they. Yeah, I think they need to build
• 1:15:16
  her up. Are we going to see a Goldberg
• 1:15:19
  situation again where we don't, we only see like few seconds of
• 1:15:23
  her and then that's it. And then he I she's OK as a
• 1:15:31
  face, but I'm calling it right now, Jade Cargo versus Bianca
• 1:15:37
  Belair WrestleMania 41. OK.
• 1:15:43
  We'll, we'll revisit this next year.
• 1:15:46
  We'll revisit this next year. Yeah, I love their A ring
• 1:15:51
  chemistry and I also love their chemistry outside the ring,
• 1:15:53
  obviously outside the ring. These three forgot they were at
• 1:15:56
  a press conference and were just talking like they were on a
• 1:15:59
  podcast with each other or they're out of Girls Night or
• 1:16:03
  something. Yeah, it's like and I'm just
• 1:16:07
  going to show the entire thing because that's our.
• 1:16:09
  I'm going to just put up the entire their entire thing,
• 1:16:12
  because they were they were like, hey, you have you guys
• 1:16:15
  have questions right here. Oh, let's talk amongst each
• 1:16:17
  other. Yeah.
• 1:16:19

  way. Yes, you did.

  Gorgeous. Bring me a pair in gold.
• 1:16:42
  And silver like that. I don't like that.
• 1:16:45
  You do. I'm jealous.
• 1:16:46
  I'm jealous. That's my color.
• 1:16:48
  At all, You know, I need a Patty jewel.
• 1:16:50

• 1:16:52
  Y'all y'all heard her say. I got, I got her appearance.
• 1:16:55

• 1:16:59
  the entrance. I feel that.
• 1:17:00
  You don't need to see sis, you just need the glow.
• 1:17:03
  Well ladies, we appreciate you joining us with all your glam
• 1:17:06
  surrounding you. It's always glam.
• 1:17:08
  Let's. Go ahead and start off here in
• 1:17:10
  the front row. Emily May with Sports Keto
• 1:17:14
  Wrestling Congratulations. Thanks.
• 1:17:17
  Sports Keto. I know that there's so much
• 1:17:23
  emotions about tonight, Jade, you officially made your
• 1:17:27
  WrestleMania debut in such an incredible fashion next to
• 1:17:32
  Bianca, next to Naomi. This was a historical moment
• 1:17:36
  people from around the world were watching.
• 1:17:38
  So I would love to know your thoughts because the three of
• 1:17:41
  you made history tonight. First and foremost, I would have
• 1:17:44
  never thought that I would have graced the stage with these two
• 1:17:48
  phenomenal women. I think I would have never
• 1:17:51
  gotten. First of all, this is Miss
• 1:17:53
  WrestleMania Undefeated. Then we have Miss Veteran over
• 1:17:59
  here that knows exactly what to do every time.
• 1:18:02
  I mean, look at her in the ring guys.
• 1:18:04
  She knows what to do at every given moment.
• 1:18:06
  I would have never got this opportunity anywhere else.
• 1:18:09
  I'm very thankful for what I got.
• 1:18:11
  I would have never gotten a better start and this is my
• 1:18:14
  first WrestleMania. It's only going to go up from
• 1:18:16
  here. Good.
• 1:18:17
  It's. Good, I like that you got.
• 1:18:22
  It. You got it.
• 1:18:23
  You got it, you got it. Humble.
• 1:18:24
  Humble. Hi, Scott Feldstead, Muscle and
• 1:18:27
  Fitness. Congratulations on lighting up
• 1:18:29
  the ring. You wouldn't realize how cold it
• 1:18:31
  was. Michael Cole said it was chilly
• 1:18:32
  in Philly, which it was. I was just wondering, was the
• 1:18:35
  word backstage about what it was like being in the ring in the
• 1:18:37
  cold. Did you have to warm up extra
• 1:18:40
  backstage? Are you worried about pulling
• 1:18:41
  muscles? How is it wrestling outside in
• 1:18:43
  this kind of weather? Well, we actually, we we walked
• 1:18:46
  through our entrance and when we went on the the the lift and it
• 1:18:51
  was like, what, noon? Yes.
• 1:18:52
  And it was windy and it was cold.
• 1:18:55
  We were freezing. So we all had a conversation
• 1:18:58
  backstage and we were like, look, y'all we got to warm up,
• 1:19:00
  we got to get right so no one gets injured.
• 1:19:02
  But we knew that it was going to be cold.
• 1:19:04
  But we all agreed backstage we were like, we gonna bring the
• 1:19:07
  heat. Yes, we bring in the heat to
• 1:19:09
  WrestleMania. And when we went out there and
• 1:19:12
  we were up there in the sky, I didn't even feel the cold.
• 1:19:16
  No, the adrenaline was pumping. The Philly crowd was amazing and
• 1:19:20
  it just felt so iconic. And to be there with these two
• 1:19:24
  women, it was just an amazing moment.
• 1:19:27
  And we brought the hits of WrestleMania.
• 1:19:28
  We didn't. I never felt the cold.
• 1:19:30
  No, not at all. Yeah, it was an iconic moment.
• 1:19:33
  I didn't feel it because. I had my jacket on, my hat on.
• 1:19:35
  And. My LED.
• 1:19:37
  'S. So with all the light up stuff,
• 1:19:39
  the batteries and everything, the longer it's on I turn it on
• 1:19:43
  like. Way.
• 1:19:45
  Earlier so that if there's any glitches or anything, the wires.
• 1:19:48
  Go short, I have a lot of. Shortages, but it heats up.
• 1:19:51
  It gets really hot. So I was actually warm.
• 1:19:55
  I had a little heater in my jacket.
• 1:19:56
  Not me. Y'all didn't know about that.
• 1:19:58
  You I was. I was Gucci up there.
• 1:20:00
  I was cold. But you on front like that
• 1:20:02
  because because because near rehearsal it was crazy what my
• 1:20:06
  knees were. She was cold.
• 1:20:07
  She was, she was, she was, she was.
• 1:20:09
  I was happy. Just hold my hand.
• 1:20:19
  We going to be OK? We was talking to each other but
• 1:20:23
  we held it down. We held it down.
• 1:20:25
  We held it down. I.
• 1:20:26
  Think I got a little Vertigo. A little.
• 1:20:28
  Bit. I don't know.
• 1:20:31
  Swaying and moving, I ain't like that.
• 1:20:33
  I ain't like that at all. We held him.
• 1:20:36
  But my girls had me. Next question, you guys, we're
• 1:20:43
  having fun. This is great.
• 1:20:44
  Like us working together. It's, it's it's something that
• 1:20:48
  no one would ever fathom. Like all of us being in the same
• 1:20:50
  ring at the same time, Who would have thought, right?
• 1:20:54
  So we're all just enjoying one another.
• 1:20:56
  Like, we all have similar personalities.
• 1:20:57
  We're enjoying ourselves. Like that's what it's about.
• 1:21:00
  It's about the journey. And don't mind us right now.
• 1:21:03
  We're just killing things and having a great time.
• 1:21:06
  So loosen up all the. We're the same.
• 1:21:10
  We're similar, but. We.
• 1:21:12
  We different, but we we enjoy one another.
• 1:21:15
  Like who would have thought? Like I said, it's a dream.
• 1:21:18
  They got to pull me back all the time.
• 1:21:20
  We got you. We got you.
• 1:21:22
  Because I mean bouncing off the wall, but do I get on your
• 1:21:25
  nerves yet? No, not yet.
• 1:21:29
  No. No.
• 1:21:31
  All right, let's let's move. On let's enjoy, Let's enjoy
• 1:21:33
  another. Question.
• 1:21:35
  Hi, ladies. Congratulations.
• 1:21:38
  Thank you. So I don't know if you're aware,
• 1:21:40
  but Cody Rhodes actually invited Kipp Amp High Middle School here
• 1:21:45
  from Brooklyn and they actually sent in a question for you.
• 1:21:48
  So shout out to Victor and the kids of the wrestling club, we
• 1:21:50
  say. It all the time, Yeah.
• 1:21:53
  I. Love them so much they are here
• 1:21:57
  and they sent in a question for you. 3 she.
• 1:21:58
  Went like this. Hair jacket.
• 1:21:59
  Show the jacket off. Love it.
• 1:22:01
  There we go. They said.
• 1:22:04
  What impact do you think your trio will have on young girls
• 1:22:07
  and boys that look just like you?
• 1:22:10
  Such a big impact. What I will say is that
• 1:22:13
  representation is so important. I always say that representation
• 1:22:16
  is not is not a request, it's a requirement.
• 1:22:18
  Yes, and I always say what's better than one?
• 1:22:20
  It's three. It's amazing to have one
• 1:22:25
  represents and be representation.
• 1:22:28
  But sometimes when you see just one, it seems like it's an
• 1:22:32
  anomaly. It seems like you have to be
• 1:22:34
  special. You know that it's possible, but
• 1:22:36
  you have to be so special, you have to be lucky.
• 1:22:37
  But when you see multiple representing and them all
• 1:22:42
  representing something different, we all come from
• 1:22:45
  different walks of life. We have, we all represent
• 1:22:47
  something different. We all have different
• 1:22:48
  personalities. And that right there really
• 1:22:51
  shows you what's possible and it shows you that you don't have to
• 1:22:53
  be special, that this is possible.
• 1:22:55
  So what we're doing right now is so special.
• 1:22:58
  And what I will say is that Naomi is someone who taught me
• 1:23:02
  from the very beginning when I first came into WWE.
• 1:23:05
  Sometimes you have that feeling where you think that, you know
• 1:23:10
  someone gets an opportunity opportunity that means that it's
• 1:23:12
  taking an opportunity for you. But she showed me that if that
• 1:23:16
  opportunity is for you, you're not taking it from someone, from
• 1:23:19
  someone else, because what's for you will always be for you.
• 1:23:21
  And she always welcomed me when I came in.
• 1:23:23
  She never made me feel like there was any jealous jealousy
• 1:23:27
  or any animosity. She was always happy for me.
• 1:23:30
  So that taught me to carry that on for when Jay came in.
• 1:23:35
  And now we're all sharing this platform and it's amazing and
• 1:23:39
  it's special and it's iconic and it's representation and it's
• 1:23:43
  just so cool and it's so dope and it's so important that we're
• 1:23:45
  able to go out there and represent and show exactly who
• 1:23:48
  we are and inspire generations now and generations to come, in
• 1:23:53
  the future, forever. It's it's very special.
• 1:23:57
  One of the things that really inspired me and LED a fire onto
• 1:24:01
  me to come get into wrestling was the way it was presented to
• 1:24:05
  me is that they were looking for more minority women.
• 1:24:12
  You know, like specifically WWE was wanting that they were
• 1:24:15
  pushing for that and that's that's how I got wind of it.
• 1:24:21
  And so me being me, I'm like, wait, what?
• 1:24:23
  They need representation. What Y'all tell me what's what's
• 1:24:25
  this wrestling thing about? And that's that's really what it
• 1:24:28
  drove me to be interested in and want to come and do it.
• 1:24:32
  Because I didn't grow up as a wrestling fan.
• 1:24:33
  I didn't know much about wrestling.
• 1:24:35
  I knew the major stars, like we all knew Hulk Hogan.
• 1:24:38
  But other than that, like I didn't know anything about
• 1:24:42
  wrestling. So when I heard about you know,
• 1:24:46
  you know, they're they're they're looking for more
• 1:24:49
  minorities. You need to come do this.
• 1:24:51
  Like we think you'll be good at this.
• 1:24:53
  It it just, it sparked something to me.
• 1:24:55
  And then coming in and seeing Alicia Fox, who before me, it
• 1:24:59
  was just her for like 6 years and just a relationship I had
• 1:25:04
  with her. And even the time I came in
• 1:25:07
  being one of the the original NXT girls on NXT season three,
• 1:25:11
  which was a completely different thing from what, you know, NXT
• 1:25:16
  as. But I'm just going through that
• 1:25:18
  journey and Cameron and I coming in together, but just always
• 1:25:23
  feeling like, yeah, we here, but we ain't here, you know.
• 1:25:30
  And I found my purpose through this journey and this
• 1:25:33
  experience. I came in the wrestling at 21
• 1:25:36
  years old. I didn't know myself in that
• 1:25:39
  time, but being in WWE and this turning into my career and my
• 1:25:45
  life and marrying us, Samoan and being married to some wrestling
• 1:25:50
  dynasty that I didn't even know like it.
• 1:25:53
  It just, it blew my mind and getting married like so now I'm
• 1:25:59
  I'm telling all my business, but now at third, coming in at 21
• 1:26:04
  and 36, now this is my purpose. And one thing I can say is when
• 1:26:12
  I first signed here, the first person that reached out to me
• 1:26:14
  was Bianca. You know, because people will
• 1:26:17
  try to pain you against one another.
• 1:26:19
  And we both sat there and we were just like, listen, we are
• 1:26:21
  both strong, dominant black women.
• 1:26:24
  And what's for her is what's for her.
• 1:26:27
  And what's for me is what's for me.
• 1:26:28
  And we're not going to get in each other's way.
• 1:26:30
  We're going to go out there and dominate.
• 1:26:31
  And it is what it is. And we understood that.
• 1:26:33
  And we're all unique in our own way, but we're all similar in
• 1:26:37
  our own way as well. Like, we have fun.
• 1:26:39
  As you see. We're all collaborative.
• 1:26:41
  Like, we're all working together.
• 1:26:42
  We all have a goal of winning, like we did tonight, of course.
• 1:26:45
  But, I mean, what's going to stop us?
• 1:26:48
  Like, it's great. It's not women.
• 1:26:50
  It's not representation. Yes.
• 1:26:51
  OK. This is the norm.
• 1:26:53
  You know, I'm, I'm ready. It's cool to be the first, but
• 1:26:56
  I'm ready to get away from that conversation to where it's the
• 1:26:59
  norm. And it's just, it's just women
• 1:27:01
  going out there and we're just having great matches and it's
• 1:27:04
  just, oh, they had a great match.
• 1:27:05
  They're amazing. And that's just what it is,
• 1:27:07
  period. That's it.
• 1:27:10
  I'm. Ready to die.
• 1:27:11
  But no today. Destroy them all.
• 1:27:15
  We will fight. Fight.
• 1:27:18
  Fight. Rebel Noon, Part 2.
• 1:27:21
  The Scargiver Maybe PG13 only on Netflix.
• 1:27:26
  Naomi, Bianca, Jay. Congratulations.
• 1:27:28
  Job well done on making some history tonight at WrestleMania
• 1:27:32
  40. Thank you.
• 1:27:38
  Next match Sami Zayn defeated Gunther for the WE
• 1:27:43
  Intercontinental Championship. 15 minutes and 30 seconds.
• 1:27:47
  I wasn't expecting this at all. No, I really wasn't.
• 1:27:52
  As Zayn charged for the hell of a Luba kick, Gunther countered
• 1:27:55
  into the Super hole submission. Zane escaped the submission when
• 1:27:58
  they were in. Attempted to poop Thunder Bomb
• 1:28:00
  but Gunther counts again and apply the Super hole.
• 1:28:03
  Gunter performed A dropkick and powerbomb on Zane from near
• 1:28:06
  fall. Gunter would actually get
• 1:28:08
  multiple power bombs but Zane kicked out.
• 1:28:11
  Geez 3. Gunter started mocking Zane's
• 1:28:14
  wife who was here at the front row before him.
• 1:28:16
  Multiple tops of flashes I'm saying.
• 1:28:18
  And this is how I realized that he was losing.
• 1:28:22
  He was looking out at the wife and saying good day to this your
• 1:28:26
  man this year, this your husband.
• 1:28:27
  Look what I'm doing to him and you see his wife Zane's wife
• 1:28:33
  Guy. I just started crying.
• 1:28:34
  I'm like really? Are we doing this?
• 1:28:38
  Oh man, he's going to get up from that.
• 1:28:42
  As Gunther climbed the top rope, Zane performed a Helluba Kick
• 1:28:45
  and Brain Buster and Gunther, which we're going to talk about
• 1:28:49
  in a few Zane and follow up with two consent of Get a Helluba
• 1:28:52
  Kicks to win the title for the 4th time ending Gunther 666 day
• 1:28:57
  reign as champion over 30 chops between them and they were
• 1:29:04
  mostly hit by Sammy. Yeah.
• 1:29:08
  Gunther kept going for them and Sammy duck most of them.
• 1:29:12
  So This is why I say over 30. Because Gunther was trying to go
• 1:29:15
  and go and go and the way Gunther was like following them,
• 1:29:19
  you could hear champ, you could hear to hear, Oh yeah.
• 1:29:23
  And Sammy was like, Nope, Nope. And just be reckon how cold it
• 1:29:28
  was too. Every time either one of them
• 1:29:32
  got chopped, they both got chopped and it's cold and then
• 1:29:36
  it's hot on their chest. But it's cold like, oh slap me,
• 1:29:40
  slap me, come on. Gunther became only the 2nd man
• 1:29:44
  to defend the Intercontinental Championship at wrestling it
• 1:29:46
  twice in the same rain. Gunther made history with a
• 1:29:50
  surprise surpassed the Honky Tonk Man for the longest ever
• 1:29:54
  reign in the championship. Along the way he became the 5th
• 1:29:57
  man to achieve a year plus brain with his particular title.
• 1:30:00
  The way the counter fell, the Huggy Tuggy Man had not carried
• 1:30:03
  a title into two separate Raspadia, Pedro Morales and Don
• 1:30:07
  Morocco had their marathon reign before the 1st duster game.
• 1:30:13
  Let's go back to the match itself.
• 1:30:19
  Sami Zayn flopping in the ring, in the middle of the ring, which
• 1:30:29
  everybody just like. What is he doing?
• 1:30:31
  Yeah, overselling it. OK, he wasn't overselling.
• 1:30:38
  No, he wasn't overselling at all.
• 1:30:41
  The spirit of a generico. A genetic generico.
• 1:30:46
  His old T, what ROH Ring of Honor character came through,
• 1:30:55
  and that's what he used to do. OK, so to him going like his,
• 1:31:00
  all that stuff. And I'm thinking he's like, is
• 1:31:01
  he going to do the RKO? But no.
• 1:31:04
  The spirit of El Janeiro came in and did the flopping and did all
• 1:31:09
  that. I'm just like, oh shoot.
• 1:31:12
  So he gets on the top rope. He does the Brain Buster on the
• 1:31:15
  turnbuckle. Who is it?
• 1:31:18
  Michael Cole. Everybody else, Brain Buster.
• 1:31:22
  Yes. Everybody that like reacted to
• 1:31:28
  that Brain Buster. He did the Brain Buster.
• 1:31:32
  That's not how you say it. When I first saw it, when I saw
• 1:31:39
  that happen, the way I said it, it's the way I remember it when
• 1:31:43
  they said it in his ring of honour days.
• 1:31:47
  And that was, and I'm going to put a little edit in here also.
• 1:31:52
  And that was Brain Buster. I'm trying to go for a super.
• 1:32:00
  Play Oh no, brain Buster. Brain Buster, Brain Buster,
• 1:32:07
  Brain Buster. That shit was high, OK?
• 1:32:19
  Well, when I saw him do that, I was like, Oh my gosh, what
• 1:32:23
  happened? Because it just so quick and I
• 1:32:28
  thought it was. I was hoping it wasn't a botch.
• 1:32:33
  No, see, that's what everybody was saw too.
• 1:32:36
  It's like Brain Buster on the top rope turnbuckle on the turn,
• 1:32:40
  Brain Buster on the turnbuckle, and everybody's all like, what
• 1:32:43
  happened, It was like he doesn't do it anymore because of that
• 1:32:48
  moment. That right there, it's not, it's
• 1:32:50
  not safe. It's possibly dangerous or some
• 1:32:53
  that don't ought to take that move, but therefore Gunther
• 1:32:58
  taking it like, oh shit, he approved that.
• 1:33:02
  And I'm just like and whenever he used to like now, before
• 1:33:06
  this, before, he like, whenever he tried doing it, they would
• 1:33:10
  get out of it. Today.
• 1:33:12
  Yes, that this day right here I said it.
• 1:33:14
  It's like he finally did it. It's like finally realizing what
• 1:33:17
  Ric Flair does when he goes on top row.
• 1:33:19
  Oh, OK And you know, he gets thrown out, but no, I seen him
• 1:33:24
  do a cross. A cross, What is it?
• 1:33:28
  A cross handles or palm thing, Like a punch, like a chop.
• 1:33:35
  That's what he does. Like, I seen him do it once and
• 1:33:37
  I'm just like, oh, OK, that's what he does.
• 1:33:41
  That's cool. Not really.
• 1:33:44
  What do you think of this match, though?
• 1:33:46
  Because I loved it. I you know what I did too.
• 1:33:50
  And of course we were both wrong on that one.
• 1:33:54
  Oh, was that wrong? Yeah, I'm like, I you know,
• 1:33:57
  landed at 666 days. You could have just waited till
• 1:34:00
  like Monday. Yeah, 668 days.
• 1:34:05
  Like 4 gunters all like terrorized the entire fucking WE
• 1:34:10
  with 666 day reign. Yeah, but I was like you know
• 1:34:15
  what? I I was like you know what it
• 1:34:17
  was? I mean it was a good match.
• 1:34:19
  So it wasn't like Sammy won it, you know and it looked weird.
• 1:34:25
  They tore the house down with that.
• 1:34:29
  They did. It was they were both just it
• 1:34:33
  was great. I was like.
• 1:34:37
  You know I. One thing I didn't like about it
• 1:34:40
  is because because he's so big and blanky, Gunther needs to
• 1:34:46
  work on his off the top rope splash 'cause it looks so stupid
• 1:34:53
  to me, but like either because it looks like the, you know, the
• 1:34:58
  person his opponent is too close.
• 1:35:01
  Yeah, you know, sounds like he needs to put a more, yeah, like,
• 1:35:07
  close to the center of the ring because Gunther will make it,
• 1:35:12
  you know, he'll make it to the center of the ring.
• 1:35:15
  But I'm like, I hate watching him do that splash off the top
• 1:35:19
  rope, 'cause it looks terrible every time.
• 1:35:24
  Every time I see him do it, it looks like Snoop Dogg doing the
• 1:35:28
  splash. Yes, exactly.
• 1:35:32
  Exactly. Oh, goodness gracious.
• 1:35:35
  All right, Dash, What could possibly follow that?
• 1:35:42
  Oh wait. Bloodline. 45 minute Bloodline
• 1:35:48
  fast. Yes.
• 1:35:51
  The Bloodline, The Rock and Roman Reigns defeated Cody,
• 1:35:54
  Rhodes and Seth. Rick and Rollins. 44 minutes and
• 1:35:57
  35 seconds. What the hell?
• 1:36:06
  Yeah, let's say while Rock and Rollins were fighting outside
• 1:36:13
  the ring, Rock warned referee Chad Batten that he would fire
• 1:36:16
  him if he there was a cat out. Basically, it's already a
• 1:36:19
  bloodline rules on tonight. Anything goes.
• 1:36:22
  No DQ, you know, so So what What what?
• 1:36:27
  What was the point of all this? If we're going to do this, oh,
• 1:36:31
  if he can defeat us at the Bloodline rules match, we'll
• 1:36:34
  have another Bloodline Rules match the next day.
• 1:36:36
  Even if freaking Cody Rhodes would have to have won this
• 1:36:40
  match, the next match the rock would have just come out and
• 1:36:44
  said like, no, I'll fire your ass.
• 1:36:46
  That's all I had to do. Yeah.
• 1:36:51
  Ray's tagged and Rock. Rock performed a low blow on
• 1:36:53
  Rollins. Rollins Padden apologized to
• 1:36:56
  Rose that there was nothing he could do about it.
• 1:36:58
  He rose like, what are you doing?
• 1:36:59
  Ref? Look, I can't that guy.
• 1:37:02
  My hands are tied. Oh, Rock applied the
• 1:37:06
  sharpshooter. Rollins 8.
• 1:37:07
  That gaming PTSD. Freaking.
• 1:37:14
  What? Like he's he's a he's the board
• 1:37:20
  member. He's applying the sharpshooter.
• 1:37:23
  Vince McMahon's no longer around and I'm like this is not Rock.
• 1:37:29
  Just call for the bell. Just do it.
• 1:37:32
  Exactly. So him applying the sharpshooter
• 1:37:35
  and then I'm just like, no, you can't do the sharpshooter.
• 1:37:38
  You don't know how to do the sharpshooter, right.
• 1:37:40
  Go go somewhere else. You and Sting please stop doing
• 1:37:44
  the sharpshooter. Well, Sting and stop wrestling
• 1:37:46
  all together. Rock stop doing the
• 1:37:48
  sharpshooter. It's notting your saying let
• 1:37:50
  Fred hard do it. Rose broke it up by slapping
• 1:37:54
  rock in the face as rain knows bleeding.
• 1:37:59
  He went Super Saiyan. I see Blood God Mode happened.
• 1:38:07
  He attempted the spear on Rhodes, who kind of performed
• 1:38:10
  the Sons of Flipford near Fall. Rose performed the Cody Cutter
• 1:38:13
  and Roland followed up with a frog flash on rainfall.
• 1:38:16
  Rose performed the 2nd stomp on range in which Rose followed up
• 1:38:19
  with a crossroads. Rose went for the near pinfall
• 1:38:23
  but Rock pulled a referee on a ring range recovering to hit.
• 1:38:26
  Rose from behind with a low blow and spear Rock Rose referee back
• 1:38:29
  beside the ring for near fall. Lots of near fall, lots of near
• 1:38:32
  falls 45 minutes outside the ring rack.
• 1:38:34
  Rock rock grabbed the weight felt with rose luda and trotted
• 1:38:38
  mother who was seated at the ringside.
• 1:38:40
  She was like all into it. Like Nah, come on, come at me,
• 1:38:44
  come at me, Rock back in the ring rock.
• 1:38:49
  Latina showed up. Oh, of course I was like the
• 1:38:54
  freaking the bell versus the chancla.
• 1:38:57
  Yeah. Rocket into the People's novel
• 1:38:59
  book Rose counter with the Cody Cutter.
• 1:39:01
  Rings attempt to the spear and Rose who was pushed out of the
• 1:39:04
  way by Rowlands causing rings to accent and spear rock oh
• 1:39:11
  remember how you know it's gonna happen my turn like that's oh I
• 1:39:15
  thought like that was gonna happen.
• 1:39:18
  Rose and Rollins both performed the pedigree on rock and rain
• 1:39:21
  for near fall outside the rain. Oh, didn't perform it right,
• 1:39:27
  Rose? Somebody didn't do it.
• 1:39:30
  Somebody didn't lock the hands. Somebody didn't lock the hands.
• 1:39:33
  Yeah, And I'm like, it was. It was.
• 1:39:36
  Yeah. Cody didn't do it right.
• 1:39:37
  You know, outside the ring was perfect, you know.
• 1:39:41
  Yeah, of course. Outside the ring.
• 1:39:44
  Rose performed the rock bottom on rock to the broadcast table
• 1:39:46
  walk ring, spear rolling through the barricade.
• 1:39:49
  Shit back in the ring as Rose into the third consecutive Rose
• 1:39:52
  Crossroads Rock Whip Rd. With the weight belt causing
• 1:39:55
  Rain to perform the spear on Rd. brains tagged in Rock, Who
• 1:39:58
  performed the People's double and rows to win the match which
• 1:40:01
  upset me the whole most of the night.
• 1:40:04
  How are you to lose to an elbow drop making the undisputed W
• 1:40:12
  Universal championship match on night 200 bloodline rules?
• 1:40:14
  This match was the second longest in wrestling in history
• 1:40:17
  after Brett Harper's John Michael the wrestling at 12th in
• 1:40:19
  March. How are you to lose to the elbow
• 1:40:22
  drop? Seriously.
• 1:40:25
  He does the whole people's elbow, put like stamps him down,
• 1:40:29
  looks around, goes from like you have 10 seconds, goes from one
• 1:40:37
  corner from one rope to the other rope, fakes a leg drop and
• 1:40:41
  does the elbow drop and then pins them.
• 1:40:44
  And I'm like, this is bad as letting Hogan beat you with a
• 1:40:49
  leg drop. Yeah.
• 1:40:52
  I understand if Kyrie Sane, did the elbow drop on you because
• 1:40:55
  that's a pointy ass elbow. Yeah.
• 1:40:58
  But. And she makes a point to like
• 1:41:01
  driving, she's she's like, OK, yeah, she drives it in.
• 1:41:05
  She's just like in mid air. She like cocks it and yeah,
• 1:41:10
  there you go. Yeah.
• 1:41:12
  But Gee, I'm like, it upsets me whenever somebody loses to the
• 1:41:18
  people's elbows. And I was like, first John Cena,
• 1:41:21
  now this like what you are allowed to kick out.
• 1:41:25
  Yeah. So that painful to be like, oh
• 1:41:31
  gosh, so that happened. The next the match on the next
• 1:41:36
  night is Bloodline rules. There's already Bloodline rules
• 1:41:39
  here. Might as well have another
• 1:41:40
  match. Let's follow it up. 44 minutes
• 1:41:42
  and 35 seconds here. Let's follow it up.
• 1:41:45
  Let's see if we can do longer. Chris family with insight.
• 1:41:49
  Congratulations on the victory tonight, Mr. Heyman.
• 1:41:52
  You talked before that it was the 3rd inning for the
• 1:41:54
  bloodline. What inning are we in now?
• 1:41:58
  I'm sorry, did you not hear the man say questions for Roman
• 1:42:02
  Reigns? I'm sorry, you're not going to
• 1:42:07
  answer my question now. So it's just A1 sided
• 1:42:09

• 1:43:02
  acknowledge me. Who did that leave?
• 1:43:11
  I'm serious. The lady with the glasses.
• 1:43:15
  Get her out. Get her out or I'm leaving.
• 1:43:24
  Use your feet. Nope.
• 1:43:28
  You're wasting our time, lady. To give Chris's analogy, this
• 1:43:32
  ain't baseball. There is no three strikes.
• 1:43:38
  Yeah, I better get some good questions.
• 1:43:40
  I'm here for work. I'm here to retain the key to
• 1:43:43
  the Kingdom. I got a big week in here.
• 1:43:46
  I got a lot of work tomorrow night, so you should do your job
• 1:43:48
  now. Robin, tonight you tied for most
• 1:43:54
  WrestleMania main events since history.
• 1:43:56
  Oh, say tomorrow. Say it again.
• 1:43:58
  Tonight for the most. WrestleMania Main events in
• 1:44:00
  history. Tomorrow you will be breaking
• 1:44:03
  the record, yes, and you will become the superstar with the
• 1:44:07
  most main events in history. Can you talk?
• 1:44:10
  To us about that, How does that feel?
• 1:44:15
  I'm already thinking about 10, thinking about the next night.
• 1:44:21
  We're going to smash tomorrow night and then we're going to
• 1:44:23
  move on. That's how it is.
• 1:44:24
  That's that's what greatness is. We don't sit in it.
• 1:44:27
  We're worried about the next goal.
• 1:44:30
  Write that down. You're going to put on the
• 1:44:32
  Internet and say, I said that, but you got it from your tribal
• 1:44:34
  chief. Next question.
• 1:44:36
  That was a very good answer. My tribal chief it came from.
• 1:44:41
  My mouth, James Dillo from guerrilla position.
• 1:44:44
  Hi Roman, congratulations on tonight.
• 1:44:47
  Pat McAfee on commentary tonight said you are currently suffering
• 1:44:51
  with leukemia and I was wondering if you could clarify
• 1:44:54
  that. I know your health issues in the
• 1:44:56
  past, but can you build on what he was referring to there?
• 1:45:00
  Well, I'm still on oral chemotherapy.
• 1:45:03
  It's a medication that I'm going to have to remain on my entire
• 1:45:05
  life most likely. So yeah, that's just a part of
• 1:45:10
  my personal battle. It doesn't affect thank God it
• 1:45:15
  allow I'm still able to perform. I think anybody in my position
• 1:45:21
  would say health is wealth and as long as I can continue to
• 1:45:26
  perform, then you already know that that's at Bay.
• 1:45:29
  So we're good, We're still in remission, but it is something
• 1:45:33
  that is still a part of my life. Yeah, Next question.
• 1:45:38
  Hi Roman to Matt Cassandu for TNT Sports in the UK and Island.
• 1:45:42
  Exactly a year ago I asked you how you felt about the result
• 1:45:46
  and the execution of the main event and what you have been
• 1:45:48
  doing for the past 3-4 years and you were kind of almost begging
• 1:45:52
  for the industry to try and take the ball away from you.
• 1:45:55
  And I'm just wondering, now that you've put this match together
• 1:46:00
  with your cousin The Rock, from a creative point of view and
• 1:46:03
  also a results and execution point of view, how do you feel
• 1:46:07
  about what you did tonight? I feel what we did tonight.
• 1:46:11
  It started in 2020, August of 2020.
• 1:46:14
  In order to attract a global superstar like my cousin, you
• 1:46:23
  got to add you, you got to be on the up and up.
• 1:46:26
  You have to have something special going on because he
• 1:46:30
  always has something special being offered.
• 1:46:32
  So this had to have been something even greater than even
• 1:46:36
  Hollywood could offer him. And he does all kinds of stuff
• 1:46:38
  now he, he, he he's that successful.
• 1:46:41
  So for him to pay attention to us and want to be involved with
• 1:46:45
  what we're doing, it just speaks on how special the bloodline is
• 1:46:49
  and and how we prime this place and made this place a
• 1:46:52
  destination for everybody there. There's no question now this is
• 1:46:57
  the place to be and it's because of us.
• 1:47:01
  Through the most turbulent times, this has been the COVID,
• 1:47:06
  no fans, everything that's gone on Tribal chief and the wise
• 1:47:13
  man. Keep his steady around here.
• 1:47:18
  Alastair Mcgeorge from Metro in the UK Just over here, I know
• 1:47:22
  you just alluded to it on a sort of more business level thinking
• 1:47:26
  personally, what did it feel like to share that moment with
• 1:47:30
  your family with Dwayne and finally be in the ring together
• 1:47:33
  like that? This is what I've been driven my
• 1:47:39
  whole life. When I got in the business, I I
• 1:47:44
  didn't even think it, you know? It wasn't even a thought if it
• 1:47:46
  would be possible because you either you know he's moved on or
• 1:47:51
  it's going to be more of an appearance based situation.
• 1:47:55
  But I've used the same mindset the whole time on the high tide.
• 1:47:58
  I lift up everybody in the first you know the the first thing
• 1:48:02
  that I wanted to do was lift my family.
• 1:48:04
  The Usos solo and Dwayne's no different.
• 1:48:09
  I I we like I said we prime this thing perfectly.
• 1:48:12
  We set the launchpad and then we placed the rocket and now we
• 1:48:16
  took off. So if everything that we do
• 1:48:19
  doesn't happen, then we don't get to this point.
• 1:48:22
  And if I don't make the choice to, because I could have easily
• 1:48:24
  been like, man, wise man, We got it, we got it.
• 1:48:28
  We don't need anybody. But we chose to put the Usos,
• 1:48:32
  you know, in a spotlight. We chose to put solo in the
• 1:48:35
  spotlight. We chose to lift everybody up.
• 1:48:38
  And that's what that. I mean, that's just, that's my
• 1:48:40
  MO, man. I'm not messing around with this
• 1:48:42
  bloodline thing. It's not that this is for real
• 1:48:44
  to me, you know, and I I said it before too.
• 1:48:47
  And you know it. It was a long time ago and it
• 1:48:51
  was almost like in the middle of a bad promo or something when I
• 1:48:54
  was younger. And I I remember saying, man,
• 1:48:56
  this is real life to me. And I I didn't have the
• 1:48:58
  substance or the direction back then.
• 1:49:01
  But I wasn't lying. This is real life to me.
• 1:49:03
  I grew up in this business. I couldn't even get away with
• 1:49:05
  away from it if I wanted to. This is everything to me, the
• 1:49:09
  livelihood that I've set for my family.
• 1:49:20
  It was a dream being out there with them, and it's been a dream
• 1:49:23
  to be out there with every single relative that I have.
• 1:49:29
  Final question I Roman Cameron Hawkins from The Ringer, you
• 1:49:32
  mark 2020. As.
• 1:49:34
  A changing point in how you were doing things.
• 1:49:36
  What creatively or or mentally really was the attitude?
• 1:49:40
  Like, I understand adding family members, bringing them in, but
• 1:49:43
  from a creative standpoint, from a mental standpoint, what really
• 1:49:46
  changed for you with your approach going forward?
• 1:49:48
  Well, we're in the middle of the pandemic.
• 1:49:50
  We're in the. We hadn't even gone in the
• 1:49:52
  Thunderdome. And when I'm watching it, I'm
• 1:49:55
  watching these guys in an empty warehouse and I'm like the
• 1:49:58
  wrestling the same. It's the same.
• 1:50:00
  They're trying to do the same thing.
• 1:50:02
  I had the advantage of being on the sideline for that time, but
• 1:50:06
  I knew exactly what I needed to do.
• 1:50:08
  It was time to change the game. It's time to to to use this
• 1:50:11
  silence in and allow your voice to be boosted.
• 1:50:15
  Allow yourself to take it into different dialogue.
• 1:50:17
  You don't have to just be sitting in the middle of the
• 1:50:19
  ring shouting over a bunch of people chanting.
• 1:50:22
  Now we can tell stories. Now we can get into deeper
• 1:50:24
  dialogue, Game of Thrones style, where you better pay attention,
• 1:50:27
  you better listen up, because next week more info is coming.
• 1:50:29
  And we said it. We said it from the very
• 1:50:32
  beginning. It was.
• 1:50:33
  We didn't stumble upon this. We knew exactly what we were
• 1:50:36
  doing. Pay attention, because layers
• 1:50:39
  are coming. Information is coming.
• 1:50:41
  New moments. Every single week we've been
• 1:50:43
  what? How long?
• 1:50:44
  How long? Where we at now?
• 1:50:46
  3 1/2, Four years? Come on every other time other
• 1:50:51
  than Cena, which that was just a marathon run.
• 1:50:54
  Every other top guys like run in longer than my title.
• 1:50:59
  Reign in the modern era. All y'all geeks got these.
• 1:51:04
  Surf these screens you're looking at 24/7.
• 1:51:07
  Your kids are doing the same thing.
• 1:51:08
  We still got them, Goat man. Roman Reigns, thank you so much
• 1:51:15
  for your time, Paul Heyman as well, and the best of luck to
• 1:51:17
  you tomorrow night. And that was night one for all
• 1:51:30
  of you. What do you think of night one?
• 1:51:33
  It was great. You know, it it was, I was the
• 1:51:37
  only match that I wasn't, you know really disappointed with
• 1:51:40
  was brother versus brother. But all the other ones I was
• 1:51:44
  like, they were good matches. I could have gone without that
• 1:51:47
  one. Like I could have seen it on
• 1:51:49
  Smackdown or not Smackdown Pre show.
• 1:51:54
  Yeah, like not Smackdown Pre Show.
• 1:51:56
  I could have been no good on a pre show or it could have been
• 1:51:58
  like one of the first matches. Yeah.
• 1:52:03
  But jeez, so we I enjoyed it. I did.
• 1:52:10
  So show. I enjoyed the show like I said
• 1:52:13
  it was. It was great.
• 1:52:16
  I was like. This is, I mean every everything
• 1:52:19
  just went real good. But I have a question for you
• 1:52:23
  Speaking of just the. So when you watch, when you
• 1:52:27
  watched Night One, did you watch it that night like live?
• 1:52:35
  OK Or did you watch it kind of like a little bit later?
• 1:52:41
  I was thinking it going to start at 7 Central, right?
• 1:52:45
  Uh, huh. No, it started at six Central.
• 1:52:49
  Oh, no. You were an hour late.
• 1:52:51
  OK. So I was an hour late.
• 1:52:53
  I'm looking at the Twitter feed and everybody's saying like,
• 1:52:57
  who? You know, like the usual people
• 1:52:58
  talking, saying like, who's with me here?
• 1:53:00
  And who's going to hang out with me?
• 1:53:03
  Of course. I have my favorites on there and
• 1:53:09
  I'm like, hell yeah, let's let's on through this.
• 1:53:13
  Obviously Danny talked to wrestling.
• 1:53:15
  She was going through the whole thing, Danny, Saul said, oh,
• 1:53:20
  everybody, everybody's watching it.
• 1:53:24
  It doesn't matter if you weren't a fan of wrestling, they were
• 1:53:26
  watching it. Jen Rod was there like watching
• 1:53:30
  it, and he's all like, he's like, you heard him on the
• 1:53:33
  podcast before. What's it called?
• 1:53:38
  The tape distribution era. He was talking.
• 1:53:41
  About videotapes and all that stuff.
• 1:53:43
  But he was there. He was hanging out.
• 1:53:45
  I was like, talking about it. And then he's all like, yeah,
• 1:53:47
  that first match was insane. And I'm like, what are you
• 1:53:50
  talking about? Yeah, so, So what I watched.
• 1:53:55
  So what I watched. It I I.
• 1:53:57
  Was I didn't watch it right at at 4:00.
• 1:54:01
  So I did. I came in about like hour and a
• 1:54:05
  half. But we rewound it to go to.
• 1:54:10
  So when I watched it the first time they had pretty deadly
• 1:54:17
  introduced the match. Like talk about all of the
• 1:54:22
  whatcha call it, right? All of the tag teams, when I
• 1:54:26
  watched, when my sister was watching it and maybe she fast
• 1:54:30
  forwarded it, but I didn't see that.
• 1:54:32
  So I was like, did they edit that out or was I you know, am I
• 1:54:36
  crazy? What?
• 1:54:40
  So do you remember watching, seeing Pretty Deadly talk about
• 1:54:43
  all the time? I remember seeing Pretty Deadly,
• 1:54:49
  but I fast forwarded through that part and I just went
• 1:54:52
  straight to the first match. That match the whole.
• 1:54:55
  Yeah, why? Coming out.
• 1:54:57
  And I didn't really pay attention to them.
• 1:54:59
  I was like, I never do like, I don't even like these guys.
• 1:55:02
  Get out of here. They're funny, but I don't want
• 1:55:05
  to. I don't like them.
• 1:55:06
  It's fun. They're funny, but I don't like
• 1:55:08
  them. I don't like them.
• 1:55:11
  They're annoying to me. OK, But anyway, OK, So yeah,
• 1:55:19
  that was and that was the first night.
• 1:55:21
  Like, we still have a Night 2 to go.
• 1:55:23
  We still have money afterwards. WrestleMania to go.
• 1:55:28
  Do you want to take a break? Sure.
• 1:55:32
  Sure. All right.
• 1:55:33
  We'll be right back. So, Roman Reigns press
• 1:55:45
  conference. What did you think of it?
• 1:55:48
  Oh my gosh, it stops. He was, But you know, way I was
• 1:55:53
  like, Dang, you got that much pool.
• 1:55:57
  OK. You know, like, All right, here
• 1:56:01
  I am. What do you have?
• 1:56:03
  What questions do you have for me this time?
• 1:56:05
  Questions. Does anybody have questions for
• 1:56:07
  Roman Reign? Here comes Chris.
• 1:56:10
  Ben Bliette. Is that who it was?
• 1:56:13
  Oh, man, this poor guy. I I saw.
• 1:56:17
  I heard. Rest in peace, Chris.
• 1:56:18
  Ben be Crespin Bliette. I can't even say his name,
• 1:56:22
  right. Gee, I thought I heard a read
• 1:56:25
  something on Twitter about rest in peace, Chris, because and I
• 1:56:30
  thought I heard him his voice because I've been hearing his
• 1:56:33
  podcast or like watching his stuff on social media.
• 1:56:37
  So the first question he asked was, you know, Paul Heyman, You
• 1:56:41
  talked about innings. Is this the 9th inning?
• 1:56:47
  And. He's not like you.
• 1:56:49
  Did you not just hear Byron did ask Roman Reigns?
• 1:56:55
  Why are you asking me? Yeah, exactly.
• 1:56:58
  And that's when all everything with Roman started coming in.
• 1:57:04
  You fucking losers. You have no serious, real
• 1:57:08
  question. Get the hell out of here.
• 1:57:11
  Go. Go away.
• 1:57:12
  Like who has a real question? Come on, you.
• 1:57:15
  And he freaking calls out. Isla.
• 1:57:19
  Isla, we call. What is her name?
• 1:57:23
  I always forget her name. What did I call her?
• 1:57:27
  You know who she is. We all like, if you're listening
• 1:57:30
  to this, you all know who she is.
• 1:57:33
  She's the biggest Roman Reigns fan she's all about.
• 1:57:40
  She even called him my tribal chief.
• 1:57:42
  I know. Yeah, she's.
• 1:57:43
  I I acknowledge my tribal chief. I know she's the Puerto Rican
• 1:57:47
  one. The one that.
• 1:57:48
  OK. Is she the one that's like Insta
• 1:57:51
  Cultura? She OK?
• 1:57:57
  OK, probably is. Let me look for her.
• 1:57:59
  Whoever's whoever's. So if that's her, she got to ask
• 1:58:03
  a lot of questions. She does.
• 1:58:06
  She's, you know, which is awesome, you know?
• 1:58:10
  But she didn't get to ask him, no question, because that Lady
• 1:58:16
  with the gorgeous, yeah, diva Incarnate lady with the glasses,
• 1:58:28
  she's on TikTok. Also, I follow her on because,
• 1:58:37
  you know, she's a big, she's a big wrestling fan and she's a
• 1:58:41
  big Is she the New York City demon?
• 1:58:44
  ISA. ISA.
• 1:58:46
  ISA. OK, no, it's not some.
• 1:58:49
  I was thinking of somebody else. There's this one lady that's a
• 1:58:53
  big wrestling fan, but she always, like, she has glasses.
• 1:58:58
  It's posting from, like, her bathtub bathtubs.
• 1:59:03
  Yeah, she'll talk about, you know, she'll take like, she'll
• 1:59:07
  comment on people's, she'll reply to people's to comments.
• 1:59:14
  And for some reason, she's always in her bathtub.
• 1:59:19
  But I don't know. No, I haven't seen her do that.
• 1:59:24
  Probably somebody else. I've never seen her do that on.
• 1:59:27
  Yeah. No, I I don't.
• 1:59:28
  Yeah, I don't remember. I can't remember her name, but
• 1:59:31
  I've seen her. Isa.
• 1:59:32
  Or it's either Alex. Reba's no, like they're like
• 1:59:37
  they have a lot of but they. Or Serena.
• 1:59:42
  Serena. What does Serena look like?
• 1:59:48
  Is she white lady with glasses? And OK, the one I'm thinking of
• 1:59:54
  is this white lady with dark brown hair and she's wears
• 2:00:01
  glasses and sometimes she will like reply to comments and she's
• 2:00:06
  in her bathtub. So I was like, OK, I don't know,
• 2:00:12
  I'll have to look her up on face.
• 2:00:14
  Not Facebook, but. Look on TikTok, try to find her.
• 2:00:17
  She she basically went well. He basically went off on
• 2:00:20
  everybody. Somebody booed in the in the
• 2:00:25
  press conference, they kicked him out, everything.
• 2:00:29
  So there's a bunch of stuff there.
• 2:00:33
  Even The Rock did a whole thing. I'm like, why are you even here?
• 2:00:39
  Yeah. It's like, oh, yeah, he won the
• 2:00:41
  match. OK then, yeah, I guess it makes
• 2:00:43
  sense. But, you know, I was like, I was
• 2:00:45
  so, so surprised that he was like, leave, you know, because,
• 2:00:53
  I mean, people Boo him all the time.
• 2:00:55
  But I guess in that instance, you know, he was like, who did
• 2:01:00
  that leave? I mean, he was downstairs, Yeah,
• 2:01:05
  he even they even asked on Twitter.
• 2:01:07
  They asked Isa who was it that they kicked out.
• 2:01:10
  She didn't want to say. I don't think they, she even,
• 2:01:13
  like, revealed who it was. Yeah.
• 2:01:16
  Because then it'd be like they just make fun of her because
• 2:01:19
  Twitter is fucking crazy like that.
• 2:01:22
  Y'all are insane. Like, I wouldn't reveal it
• 2:01:26
  either. Like, hey, don't worry about it.
• 2:01:30
  Just let it go. Yeah, but the whole press
• 2:01:34
  conference And then we hear from AAA that night.
• 2:01:37
  Oh, man, of course, talking about how this turned out.
• 2:01:49
  What'd you think of Seth Rollins on Night One Gear?
• 2:01:55
  I was like, you know, I. I knew it was going to be extra.
• 2:01:59
  I knew it was, yeah. It's always extra it.
• 2:02:03
  You know, it didn't, it didn't surprise me at all, at all.
• 2:02:08
  I was like, Yep, that seems about right.
• 2:02:09
  But I thought he would have saved that for Night 2, right?

  year. But I'm.
• 2:06:52
  I'm like, what did you just make this for?
• 2:06:56
  The Rocko social star of a year? Chelsea Green thought she won
• 2:07:03
  and came out to accept the award, but it was awarded your
• 2:07:06
  McIntyre, who during his speech, Chelsea was pacing back and
• 2:07:10
  forth behind Drew with her arms crossed, wanting to speak to a
• 2:07:14
  manager. This isn't fair.
• 2:07:16
  She's been doing this the entire year.
• 2:07:19
  She's been posting social media stuff and saying how she's going
• 2:07:22
  to be talking to the manager and why does Drew McIntyre get this
• 2:07:26
  and not her? And then when Drew started to
• 2:07:31
  talk smack about seeing Punk, she finally grabbed the slammy
• 2:07:35
  and ran off. More on that later.
• 2:07:42
  Female superstarter year goes to Rhea Ripley.

• 2:07:53
  I'm sorry, what? But I mean, don't get me wrong.
• 2:07:59
  Cody is great, but I'm like, he won so many.
• 2:08:06
  Yeah, like, really? He won that one.
• 2:08:08
  He won this one. He won.

  He won so well. He won the He won the 2 Bar One
• 2:08:16
  Bowls. Yeah, and he's the male
• 2:08:18
  superstar of the year. Like, what do you do?
• 2:08:24
  He did all this OMG moment of the year, CM Punk returns its
• 2:08:28
  Survivor career, which I agree because I was the one standing
• 2:08:33
  up. Everybody had a reaction.
• 2:08:36
  Return of the year goes to CM Punk as well.
• 2:08:43
  You know how I feel. About this one.
• 2:08:47
  Which return did you want? You know what?
• 2:08:49
  I I honestly, I mean, yes, it was.
• 2:08:51
  A. Big return.
• 2:08:53
  But everybody knew he was coming.
• 2:08:57
  I knew he was going to come back because it was right when his,
• 2:09:02
  you know, saying yeah. What you call it from AW was you
• 2:09:08
  know his probation I guess probationary period I guess you
• 2:09:11
  could say was up. Yeah.
• 2:09:14
  The thing that happened last night.
• 2:09:16
  Oh, I'll see you in Chicago. Maybe I'll be there.
• 2:09:19
  Yeah. You knew you were coming back.
• 2:09:21
  Yeah, we knew. We saw him.
• 2:09:22
  We seen him around. Which then which one was your
• 2:09:26
  favorite return of the year? I think Randy was.
• 2:09:29
  Yeah. Oh, he did.
• 2:09:31
  Well, he did say that he overshadowed Randy's moment.
• 2:09:35
  So like he did. So I think.
• 2:09:38
  Because you know what Randy's been gone.
• 2:09:40
  What he said 18 months. Yeah.
• 2:09:42
  So to see Randy come back looking great, you know better
• 2:09:50
  than when he left, that would have been, that would have been
• 2:09:54
  my vote, Dick Red. That's why I think who should
• 2:09:57
  have got it, but you know, whatever.
• 2:10:02
  Anyhoo, next. No.
• 2:10:08
  And that's it from WE world. They also unveiled the Bray
• 2:10:16
  Wyatt statue, which was awesome. So there was a lot of stuff
• 2:10:27
  going on until mummy at end, but that's about it for this moment
• 2:10:32
  right here. Night two Sunday night I I
• 2:10:37
  watched it on time so it there's no problem there.
• 2:10:43
  Country music duo The War in Three performed America the
• 2:10:45
  Beautiful to open the show. Stephanie came out to welcome
• 2:10:49
  everyone to the show and ask everyone if they were ready,
• 2:10:52
  which made Triple H proud in the back.
• 2:10:55
  He's reacting. First match of the night Drew
• 2:11:02
  McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins. The World Heavyweight
• 2:11:05
  Championship. 10 minutes and 30 seconds.
• 2:11:09
  Not bad. Drew McIntyre came out with
• 2:11:11
  Scottish warriors holding their swords and the bagpipe was
• 2:11:16
  awesome. Seth Rollins came out with the
• 2:11:18
  Mummers of Philadelphia. Oh boy.
• 2:11:22
  The Mummers parade is held each New Year's Day in Philadelphia.
• 2:11:26
  Started in ninth of one as long as running continuous full
• 2:11:28
  parade in the United States. So that's why they were there.
• 2:11:35
  Michael Cole and Coy Graves had some fun refereeing the
• 2:11:37
  parallels between this progression and the bummer
• 2:11:39
  parade that takes place in Philadelphia for New Year each
• 2:11:42
  year. Graves suggested that the
• 2:11:43
  outlandish display reminded him of GWAR.
• 2:11:47
  Michael Cole responded. It actually reminds me of the
• 2:11:50
  guy from NXT. And if you don't know which guy
• 2:11:54
  from NXT, it was a reference to Adam Rose, who was notorious for
• 2:11:58
  having a large and eccentric Entourage company into the ring
• 2:12:00
  as his growth bud, often featuring other developmental
• 2:12:03
  talents. Official, better stars in
• 2:12:05
  costume, kind of like Alexa Bliss, Braun Strowman, the Vaud
• 2:12:13
  villains. There are.
• 2:12:14
  There are more of them, there are more people.
• 2:12:17
  I believe CM Punk, a special guest commentator.
• 2:12:23
  Immediately at the beginning of the match, McIntyre performed
• 2:12:25
  the claim or kick on Roland Spitt near Flaw outside the
• 2:12:29
  ring. McIntyre grabbed the phone and
• 2:12:30
  took a selfie. He didn't take a selfie.
• 2:12:35
  What he did was grab his wife's phone and tweet out board at
• 2:12:41
  work, lol. Is that what he did?
• 2:12:44
  And that's what he did. He tweeted out, lol.
• 2:12:49
  He fucking everybody was like, this guy is so unserious right
• 2:12:53
  now, like retweeting everything and he's retweeting that tweet.
• 2:12:59
  So you know, keep in mind this tweet is happening.
• 2:13:03
  Following this, Rollins performed the Petty reader.
• 2:13:05
  McIntyre the ladder beat the count, but as he went back into
• 2:13:08
  the ring, Rollins immediately performed the stop for near
• 2:13:10
  fall. McIntyre turned his attention to
• 2:13:12
  the punk and mocked him by signaling for his finisher.
• 2:13:15
  The GT has been Rollins, confident in the inside cradle
• 2:13:17
  for the ball. McIntyre then performed another
• 2:13:19
  Claremore kick on Rollins for near fall.
• 2:13:21
  In the climax, Roland kicked out of another Claremore kicked
• 2:13:24
  McIntyre, hit him with a Newberg and to finally win the title at
• 2:13:26
  a live crowd. After the match, McIntyre mocked
• 2:13:31
  Punk and gave him a crotch shot. Punk stood up and pulled
• 2:13:34
  Mcintyre's leg out, Punk the rim of the brace on his arm and hit
• 2:13:37
  McIntyre with it. 2023 Men's Money the Bank winner Damien
• 2:13:42
  Priest ran out to the ring with his briefcase and cash in the
• 2:13:45
  contract. Priest immediately performed the
• 2:13:48
  South of heaven on him McIntyre to win the title.
• 2:13:50
  This made him the first World champion of Puerto Rican descent
• 2:13:53
  in over 50 years, and only the 2nd World champion of Puerto
• 2:13:56
  Rican descent after Pedro Morales.
• 2:13:58
  This also made him the second person to cash in the free case
• 2:14:01
  at WrestleMania after all at WrestleMania 31.
• 2:14:05
  Also noted that Damon Pre's title record would crash Holly
• 2:14:07
  by being a part of multiple title changes out of
• 2:14:10
  WrestleMania. He lost a Smackdown in Raw Tag
• 2:14:13
  Team titles the night before, but he gained the delivery
• 2:14:16
  Rotary Championship the next day.
• 2:14:19
  And of course, we have Audio Damon celebrating his win at the
• 2:14:22
  press conference immediately after this, though.
• 2:14:28
  Adrian Hernandez with Odyssey Sports.
• 2:14:30
  Damien, congratulations. You become the first WWE World
• 2:14:34
  champion of Puerto Rican descent in 50 years since Pedro Morales.
• 2:14:39
  Incredible as a Puerto Ricano. Congratulations.
• 2:14:43
  And Speaking of that, if you have a message to the island and
• 2:14:46
  all the Puerto Ricanos across the world, what's the message?
• 2:14:51
  ETA fue panos otro. I think everybody by now knows
• 2:14:56
  how proud I am and how I am, how adamant I am about cultural
• 2:15:02
  representation. I didn't do this alone.
• 2:15:08
  I think I had not adjusted an island behind me.
• 2:15:11
  I had a whole culture and it's one of the most proud things
• 2:15:18
  that I've accomplished is just being able to represent and
• 2:15:21
  getting people to represent their cultures who, no matter
• 2:15:23
  where they're from. So being now representative of
• 2:15:26
  the WWE with this championship, I couldn't be prouder for my
• 2:15:31
  people, Gracia. 3rd row, Graham Matthews with Bleach report.
• 2:15:37
  Damon, Congrats on the victory on becoming the new World
• 2:15:39
  Heavyweight Champion. Obviously, we just saw Cody
• 2:15:41
  Rhodes also becoming the new undisputed WWE Universal
• 2:15:44
  Champion. Talk about opening the show,
• 2:15:46
  winning the World Championship, setting the tone for the rest of
• 2:15:48
  the night and where you fit into this new era of WWE going
• 2:15:51
  forward. With all the eyes kind of being
• 2:15:53
  on Cody coming out of the show, how do you kind of remind people
• 2:15:55
  where you know your place in WWE is?
• 2:15:59
  Where we're going, where we're headed, have no idea.
• 2:16:03
  This this new era in the company.
• 2:16:06
  I mean everybody can feel it, everybody can sense it.
• 2:16:10
  We're on a roller coaster, man. We don't know where we're
• 2:16:12
  headed. But this ride, it's going to
• 2:16:17
  take a minute. Like we're we're we're cooking
• 2:16:19
  right now. Obviously all our sellouts, the
• 2:16:23
  business that we're doing, the amount of eyeballs that are in
• 2:16:26
  the company, I mean this is the hottest the business has ever
• 2:16:29
  been. You know, everybody obviously
• 2:16:30
  likes to compare us to the Attitude Era, man.
• 2:16:33
  We're doing some things, the attitude I would have dreamed of
• 2:16:35
  and I'm proud to be one of the figureheads right now.
• 2:16:39
  With this, I solidify myself as one of the people that that
• 2:16:43
  we're going to be looking at as to lead.
• 2:16:45
  And that's something that I'm humbled and proud of.
• 2:16:49
  So how do I keep myself here? You know, the same thing I've
• 2:16:54
  been doing. Just be better tomorrow than I
• 2:16:56
  was yesterday. Front row.
• 2:17:02
  Isa with Lucia Libre online, Felicidad de Campeo.
• 2:17:06
  I just wanted to know if you can give us your thoughts on the
• 2:17:08
  last year of your career from starting Judgement Day last year
• 2:17:11
  at WrestleMania you went to Puerto Rico, had that banger
• 2:17:14
  with Bad Bunny, winning tact in gold, winning money in the bank
• 2:17:19
  and now this. It's one of those things that's
• 2:17:24
  really hard to put into words. It's like what's happening
• 2:17:29
  starting from, you know, two years ago when we formed the
• 2:17:31
  Judgment Day, you know, there was a kind of an idea of using
• 2:17:37
  talent that can possibly be main eventers or have been main
• 2:17:41
  eventers, but they're just floating.
• 2:17:45
  And then it took off to a different direction.
• 2:17:47
  And I'll be honest, there was a moment that I wasn't sure it was
• 2:17:50
  going to work and I thought I was done.
• 2:17:53
  I wasn't even sure I was going to be still be here with the
• 2:17:55
  company to be honest. And I don't know.
• 2:18:00
  It's just the addition obviously with Finn Balor and Ria and Dan
• 2:18:03
  Dom and now JDI feel like all of our differences made something
• 2:18:08
  special, you know and and all of us bringing out the best out of
• 2:18:12
  each other and then flowing into Puerto Rico.
• 2:18:15
  And that event, which I still to this day to me is it was one of
• 2:18:20
  the most important matches of my career because the win or loss
• 2:18:24
  was inconsequential. It was about representation and
• 2:18:27
  what we can do to show off, show off the the company in another
• 2:18:33
  country or in another, you know, atmosphere and it could be
• 2:18:38
  successful. And now you see with the
• 2:18:40
  business that we're doing in all these other countries, I mean
• 2:18:43
  Australia was incredible and then we flow into money in the
• 2:18:47
  bank which was in London and that was cool.
• 2:18:50
  But even still, you know, you never know what's going to
• 2:18:53
  happen. And obviously it took me a
• 2:18:55
  minute to cash in. But talk about one of the
• 2:18:59
  greatest, if not the greatest WrestleMania of all time in a
• 2:19:04
  city where it was 20 minutes away from where I started my
• 2:19:07
  career. I did it in front of my father,
• 2:19:10
  my brother's friends, one of the coolest moments of my life and
• 2:19:15
  shout out to the Philadelphia crowd because they made that
• 2:19:17
  really special. Damien Raj Prashad from UP Rock
• 2:19:22
  Sports Seth Rollins over the last few months has really
• 2:19:26
  talked about this being the workhorse championship.
• 2:19:28
  How do you continue to live up to the expectations that come
• 2:19:31
  with what Seth Rollins has kind of developed for that
• 2:19:34
  championship? Last year I believe I was #3 in
• 2:19:39
  most overall matches. If I'm not mistaken, I was #1 in
• 2:19:43
  TV matches. I want to double I'll I'll
• 2:19:47
  double the amount of matches if I could.
• 2:19:49
  You know what I mean? Like that.
• 2:19:50
  That doesn't doesn't the idea of this being the workhorse
• 2:19:55
  championship bring it? That's what I want to do.
• 2:19:58
  I want I want it all. You know.
• 2:20:01
  Obviously we know our champions schedules change.
• 2:20:03
  You know when when you when you're the guy or one of the
• 2:20:06
  guys or one of the girls like a lot of is asked of you give me
• 2:20:13
  the questions. I would love to give the answers
• 2:20:16
  So set set a president with this title and.
• 2:20:23
  It'd be disrespectful not to honor what he's done, and I'm
• 2:20:29
  one of the first guys to say thank you to what he did.
• 2:20:32
  You know, when he brought another championship to a level
• 2:20:35
  that was important to the entire roster and I plan to do it
• 2:20:41
  justice. One last question for Damien
• 2:20:45
  Priest. Yo Torres from Contra Lona
• 2:20:48
  Felicidade Boricua. In the past we have talked and
• 2:20:54
  you told me once that once you you wanted to quit pro
• 2:20:58
  wrestling, you didn't want to because stuff that you left.
• 2:21:03
  Now you're the world champion. What's that advice that you give
• 2:21:07
  to the newcomers that that they can do the same thing that
• 2:21:15
  you've done? About 10 years ago, I was
• 2:21:22
  homeless, sitting in front of you guys, the World Heavyweight
• 2:21:27
  champion in the WWE. Nobody thought I would be on
• 2:21:35
  this stage, and I even doubted myself.
• 2:21:40
  Then I decided one day to the next, just what am I doing with
• 2:21:43
  my life? If this is my dream, you should
• 2:21:46
  be the hardest worker for your own dream because it's it's
• 2:21:48
  yours, not nobody else's. I'm the I'm the example for
• 2:21:53
  people who don't know or they're not sure if they can achieve
• 2:21:57
  something. If I did it, literally anybody
• 2:22:01
  could achieve their stuff because like I said there was
• 2:22:06
  points that I had had no business being here.
• 2:22:09
  But you bust your ass and and you do everything in a positive
• 2:22:13
  way. I truly, truly believe that
• 2:22:16
  there's nothing you can't achieve.
• 2:22:19
  So for anybody out there that's not sure of something the Garage
• 2:22:25
  just did at WrestleMania, Proud. Damian, thank you so much and
• 2:22:35
  congratulations on a life changing achievement as the new
• 2:22:40
  world heavyweight champion. After Drew McIntyre had won, you
• 2:22:50
  see Seth Rollins coming, walking out, getting out of the ring and
• 2:22:55
  everything, looking over at Drew and saying you deserve it, and
• 2:22:59
  he starts crying. And then they have like this
• 2:23:01
  whole mutual respect thing going on.
• 2:23:03
  It's like, OK, you know, we're going to see Drew McIntyre as a
• 2:23:06
  face again. And then the whole title change
• 2:23:12
  happens. Everybody on Twitter, retweet
• 2:23:17
  his tweet again with a picture, with a picture of CM Punk doing
• 2:23:25
  the whole arrow thing, the whole arrow and flash meme.
• 2:23:31
  Again the same one with the grave.
• 2:23:35
  The cemetery that Drew was making fun of CM Punk with and
• 2:23:41
  then saying like how we dreamed of this.
• 2:23:47
  So later on that day he retweets himself saying fuck.
• 2:23:58
  So. He just it's like we knowing
• 2:24:01
  that all this was going to happen, so like it was the
• 2:24:04
  funniest setup to let me tweet this out.
• 2:24:07
  Bored at work lol. Karma happens.
• 2:24:12
  He loses. Everyone retweets him with
• 2:24:16
  pictures of CM Punk blowing him a kiss and everything, and then
• 2:24:21
  he later on retweets again saying like this shit sucks.
• 2:24:26
  So. It.
• 2:24:28
  Did it? Did.
• 2:24:29
  I hated it. It only took 9 seconds for that.
• 2:24:33
  According to McIntyre, it was what, 10 minutes of him holding
• 2:24:38
  the belt? 60 minutes around there he had
• 2:24:43
  it for 5 minutes and 42 seconds. There you go.
• 2:24:50
  You know what? And I I I mean, I knew that
• 2:24:54
  Damien would cash in because that's and I knew it would be at
• 2:24:58
  the end of the match. So it wasn't a Seth Rollins
• 2:25:02
  cashing in on, you know, on Roman way back when.
• 2:25:08
  I knew Damien was going to wait till the end of the match when
• 2:25:11
  both of them would be, you know, when whoever the champ was would
• 2:25:16
  be not 100%, which I, you know, I knew that was going to happen.
• 2:25:24
  I did not expect CM Punk to take off his brace and use it and
• 2:25:30
  then also use that arm later. I'm like he's faking.
• 2:25:35
  And if he's not faking, he's, you know, he's just shoving his,
• 2:25:42
  his chances down the toilet by using that arm and taking that
• 2:25:47
  brace off if he's not 100%. Because as much as he's like,
• 2:25:51
  oh, you know, I want to, you know, I want to be back.
• 2:25:54
  I want to be back. Well, you're supposed to keep
• 2:25:57
  that brace on. Yeah.
• 2:25:59
  You know, and not take it off and definitely not use it.
• 2:26:04
  Definitely like, I don't like him.
• 2:26:10
  Oh, don't think anybody else right now, huh?
• 2:26:14
  I don't think anybody does at the moment.
• 2:26:15
  Right now. Oh no, he you'll hear everybody
• 2:26:18
  say ya punk. Say ya punk.
• 2:26:20
  I'm like no, no, no, no. Next mess.
• 2:26:26
  Next. Yes, Bobby Lashley.
• 2:26:29
  Industry prophets Angela Dawkins and Montez Ford with B Fab
• 2:26:32
  defeated the Final Testament carrying Cross Akeem and Razar
• 2:26:36
  with Scarlett and Paul Ellering by pinball in the Philadelphia
• 2:26:40
  street fight. Your special guest ref.
• 2:26:43
  Bully Ray. I actually thought this match
• 2:26:44
  was gonna suck. I was like, no, like, oh shit,
• 2:26:48
  this gonna pick up a Philadelphia street fight.
• 2:26:51
  Nobody cares. Bully Ray comes out of a Ray
• 2:26:53
  Dudley. Bully Ray comes out.
• 2:26:55
  I'm calling him Bully. He comes out and referee gear
• 2:26:59
  and everything. I was like, oh shit, OK, I'm
• 2:27:01
  interested. Lasted 8 minutes, 35 seconds.
• 2:27:04
  The Pride WE Hall of Famer and rapper Snoop Dogg was special
• 2:27:10
  guest commentator for the match and he was just going up on
• 2:27:18
  this. Match.
• 2:27:19
  He Because they sponsored his history, sponsored this match.
• 2:27:27
  Jen and Ju sponsoring the prize match.
• 2:27:31
  Yeah, exactly. I have some words about this.
• 2:27:37
  Hold on. In the end, Cross bickered with
• 2:27:42
  Bubba and shoved them. Bubba then pulled out his
• 2:27:44
  handsome brother's glasses and put them on.
• 2:27:48
  Can you repeat that, Sir? I need you to tell him this
• 2:27:51
  again because you know he needs to see better in order.
• 2:27:55
  Like you know not hear better, but he needs to see better.
• 2:27:59
  Bubba then, you know, pushed him and everybody was like beating
• 2:28:03
  up Cross. Bubba didn't signal to get the
• 2:28:08
  table to call. He directed traffic.
• 2:28:11
  He took Montez, grabbed that leg, he told.
• 2:28:16
  Bobby, grab that leg. Grab that leg, Dawkins.
• 2:28:20
  Go up the top rope like yes. What's that?
• 2:28:25
  Yeah, exactly. And head butt onto the hem.
• 2:28:31
  And then he they all did the whole Devon cross thing and then
• 2:28:37
  123 get the tables. Of course, Ford and Dawkins
• 2:28:41
  grabbed a table and set it up inside the ring, but they fucked
• 2:28:45
  up. Exactly.
• 2:28:49
  They didn't. They didn't put the the thing
• 2:28:51
  right. They didn't put this table
• 2:28:52
  right. That's what I'm saying.
• 2:28:54
  No, like they they didn't set up this table.
• 2:28:57
  They didn't lock it in. They didn't lock it in 'cause we
• 2:29:02
  know tables don't break by themselves just like that,
• 2:29:04
  right? Nope.
• 2:29:08
  Then the next one they actually worked.
• 2:29:11
  Ford then performed the frog splash on cross through the
• 2:29:13
  table. Lashley then pin cross to its
• 2:29:15
  match. After the match, Snoop joined
• 2:29:17
  the Pride and Muppets inside her ring and celebrated with the
• 2:29:25
  Fuck it Gina juice. Go for it, let it out.
• 2:29:29
  Go for it. It was racist.
• 2:29:32
  To me, yes, it. Was.
• 2:29:37
  And like everything. That was being sponsored just.
• 2:29:40
  Happened to correlate with people's races.
• 2:29:43
  So Agua Fresca sponsored the Legato de Fantasma match and the
• 2:29:51
  LWO match, right? It's like, that's not going to
• 2:29:53
  make me drink Agua Fresca. And then when it was Bianca,
• 2:29:59
  Jade and Naomi versus damage control.
• 2:30:02
  Wingstop. Really Wingstop.
• 2:30:05
  The worst one ever. I'm like, why would no dude
• 2:30:09
  bipes with the guys? Because, you know, they both
• 2:30:11
  stink. And then this one Ginny juice.
• 2:30:17
  Ginny. Juice.
• 2:30:18
  I'm just like because Snoop is there.
• 2:30:22
  Yeah. Uh huh.
• 2:30:23
  No, because they're black. No, Teddy, like, done another
• 2:30:27
  match then. Yeah, but I will say those poor
• 2:30:30
  those ladies were not ready. I'm like a freaking Scarlet
• 2:30:38
  probably has a concussion. Oh God, Beef heaven Scarlet.
• 2:30:43
  Yes, freaking. That was chaotic.
• 2:30:48
  And that was a horrible. And I'm like, neither one of
• 2:30:51
  them moved after that. I did pay attention to them at
• 2:30:56
  all. I just saw the head.
• 2:30:58
  I was like, oh God, neither one of them moved until the bell
• 2:31:03
  rang. B Fab got, you know, up onto
• 2:31:06
  the, you know, ring and got into the ring.
• 2:31:08
  Carrie and Cross had to pick up Scarlet and firemen carry her
• 2:31:13
  over his shoulder. She's sweet.
• 2:31:17
  Like, I I've seen this way. I was like, this match gonna
• 2:31:20
  suck. Bully Ray just sprotted in like,
• 2:31:23
  OK, yeah, and BB Fab and Scarlet like, Oh my God, it is just like
• 2:31:36
  entertaining, at least for a little bit.
• 2:31:37
  And it's like, all right, it's only 8 minutes of it.
• 2:31:40
  It's like, fine, it's only 8 minutes of it.
• 2:31:44
  LA Knight defeated AJ Styles 1225.
• 2:31:48
  So I was going to skip the Philly street fight, but I
• 2:31:56
  didn't because I was going to do.
• 2:31:58
  Make myself a sandwich, make myself something.
• 2:32:00
  Eat. I ended up ordering.
• 2:32:02
  You can always pause it, right? What's that?
• 2:32:05
  You can always pause it. I didn't want to.
• 2:32:08
  I wanted to go live. No, I I ordered Peaks on
• 2:32:12
  Saturday. The Sunday was chicken.
• 2:32:16
  OK, so like me making myself a plate of chicken while the LA
• 2:32:23
  night AJ Styles match. What's happening?
• 2:32:25
  I'm just like, all right, I'll be it'll be right.
• 2:32:28
  It was like, I'll be right here like 6 minutes, just give me 6
• 2:32:30
  minutes. I'll watch the rest of the match
• 2:32:32
  and it'd be great. Like the only match I wasn't
• 2:32:37
  interested in. All week long these two have
• 2:32:40
  been fighting each other backstage in the parking lot at
• 2:32:42
  the autograph signing at W World like everyone has.
• 2:32:49
  Video footage is probably on all the socials now.
• 2:32:55
  Saw that I was just like, are you serious?
• 2:32:59
  I don't know who went up to. I think it was AJ who went up to
• 2:33:01
  LA while he was taking pictures with fans and just like, yeah,
• 2:33:05
  knocked him and started making LA night bleed.
• 2:33:09
  And I'm like, is that for oh oh that's oh, no.
• 2:33:13
  It's like, OK, so we're still doing this and we're doing it at
• 2:33:17
  the world in front of people. OK, Wow.
• 2:33:20
  You know, maybe after that whole segment was over with people who
• 2:33:25
  took more pictures with LA Knight while he was bleeding.
• 2:33:30
  So before this match began, Knight in styles and suit and a
• 2:33:33
  bra. See is, is this going to is this
• 2:33:36
  going to be another match anyway?
• 2:33:38
  Because I don't think this is over with.
• 2:33:40
  They're going no holds barred and everything as Knight went
• 2:33:45
  for a super Plex and Styles slipped under him and tripped
• 2:33:48
  him causing Knights had to hit the top turnbuckle Pad Tiles
• 2:33:52
  attempted the phenom before him on Knight who counted and
• 2:33:54
  performed a blood force trauma on Styles to win or rest debut.
• 2:33:59
  What do you think of it though? Like I wasn't interested in it.
• 2:34:02
  Like I've seen so much of this stuff that I'm just like, all
• 2:34:04
  right, you know what this is not going to be a regular match.
• 2:34:07
  You might as well give him a like a no hold barred or like
• 2:34:10
  yeah they. Yeah, I think they do.
• 2:34:12
  They need a because you know what I mean?
• 2:34:15
  Actually, I wouldn't even say no holds bar the match.
• 2:34:19
  To me, the match is good. I mean, they they did their
• 2:34:24
  thing. It's not over because AJ is not
• 2:34:29
  going to take that loss. Yeah, you know, so either it's
• 2:34:35
  going to continue on Smackdown or they may do a, you know, a,
• 2:34:40
  you know a final match at Backlash.
• 2:34:44
  But I thought, I mean they I was like, well, I mean it didn't
• 2:34:51
  disappoint me. I thought it was a really good
• 2:34:55
  match. So and like another match, AJ
• 2:35:05
  lost at a WrestleMania. Yeah.
• 2:35:10
  But you know, I I really think they're they're, I mean they're
• 2:35:15
  pushing LA night. I don't know why.
• 2:35:18
  I mean, I don't. I shouldn't say that he's a good
• 2:35:21
  wrestler, you know, But I I don't think he should have
• 2:35:25
  gotten, you know, the the chance to fight Roman.
• 2:35:32
  He should have worked his way up, you know.
• 2:35:34
  I guess next match, probably your favorite.
• 2:35:40
  Logan Paul defeated Kevin Owens and Radney Orton in a triple
• 2:35:43
  threat match for the really my favorite 17 minutes and 40
• 2:35:49
  seconds. Logan Paul came out with with
• 2:35:53
  the the sponsor with the prime bottle, with the blue prime
• 2:35:58
  bottle, the blue Raspberry bottle.
• 2:36:01
  Yay sweet bottle. It was sweet.
• 2:36:05
  Ends up being I show speed, of course.
• 2:36:10
  Logan Paul wore the colors of the show, the Maverick walk into
• 2:36:13
  the show as United States Champion, as the entire board of
• 2:36:16
  Stars and Stripes, the flag of the United States of America.
• 2:36:19
  Kevin Owens once again wore a shirt base that refer referred
• 2:36:22
  to how many WrestleMania he's competed at, which declared that
• 2:36:25
  the show was KO Mania 8. Given that the show was in
• 2:36:28
  Philadelphia, it was fitting that Owens wore ACW Team Trunks
• 2:36:31
  for the match. His intro and his logo and the
• 2:36:38
  Titantron was all in CW inspired, but it was KO mania,
• 2:36:44
  so the red and black so it was fun for him.
• 2:36:51
  Throughout the match, Orton Owens would double Team Paul as
• 2:36:54
  Orton Owens attempted to pin Paul.
• 2:36:56
  Both men traded punches with each other, giving Paul the
• 2:36:59
  opportunity to roll outside. Owens attempted to stunner on
• 2:37:02
  Oregon only for the ladder to counter into the RPO for near.
• 2:37:05
  Paul Paw would then hit Orton with a Brad Knucklesford near
• 2:37:09
  Flaw. Orton set up for the pun cake,
• 2:37:11
  but the mascot pulled Paw outside the ring and repeated
• 2:37:13
  himself as I show Speed, the newest member.
• 2:37:16
  Of. Team Prime as well as KSI,
• 2:37:23
  apparently. We're going to see more of I
• 2:37:25
  Show Speed the coming week as well.
• 2:37:30
  Orton embarked and performed the arcade on Speed through the
• 2:37:33
  announce table. Biggest pop ever back in the
• 2:37:36
  ring, Orton countered. Owens Papa powerbomb attempt
• 2:37:38
  into the RKO. Paul entered Orton uttering and
• 2:37:41
  performed a frog splash of the wins to retain the title.
• 2:37:46
  Your thought it was lame. OK?
• 2:37:53
  The the whole. You mean he can't.
• 2:37:58
  He can't win? Oh yeah, he can't.
• 2:38:02
  He is not. He's not at the caliber where he
• 2:38:06
  can win any match on his own without cheating.
• 2:38:13
  You know, sure. If he really wants to show that
• 2:38:19
  he's talented and he's talented enough to win, that he needs to
• 2:38:23
  be in a match where he does not get to have anybody come with
• 2:38:30
  him. And.
• 2:38:32
  Nobody can get in. So he needs to be in a cage,
• 2:38:36
  cage or war games, you know what I mean?
• 2:38:40
  And bar anybody from. Yeah, from coming with him.
• 2:38:45
  There you go. Logan Paul is building his own
• 2:38:49
  team for war games. Yeah.
• 2:38:51
  And he KSI KSI I show speed and his brother are coming with him.
• 2:38:57
  Yeah, and his brother can make it because you know, he's
• 2:39:01
  probably still going to be out from Mike Tyson to get his butt.
• 2:39:05
  But anyway, Oh my God, that's for another time.
• 2:39:11
  We can't believe we're talking about Logan Paul on this show,
• 2:39:14
  even though we already said that we drank his drink.
• 2:39:17
  I guess the whole prime team, Logan Paul had to cover KSI's
• 2:39:25
  eyes. In Logan Paul's video, he had to
• 2:39:26
  cover KSI's eyes and show him who the new team member is.
• 2:39:33
  When he was revealed that I show speed, KSI was like, why would
• 2:39:36
  you do this? This guy is crazy and I show
• 2:39:40
  speed. Started barking and doing all
• 2:39:42
  that stuff and saying and pushing KSI around.
• 2:39:45
  KSI was like crazy and then I show speed total and see what
• 2:39:52
  look what it got him and then I show speed, told Logan.
• 2:39:56
  Paul, good luck in your fight against Mike Tyson.
• 2:39:59
  He's stupid. Oh my God, why would you want
• 2:40:03
  him up to farm? And that's when Logan Palmer
• 2:40:08
  last. Like he made a mistake.
• 2:40:09
  Yeah. Oh man.
• 2:40:13
  Well, that match happened. Next match, penultimate.
• 2:40:20
  My, my main event. Whatever.
• 2:40:23
  Bailey defeated EO Sky for WWE Women Championship 14 minutes
• 2:40:27
  and 20 seconds. Bailey came out an Egyptian
• 2:40:30
  themed attire and entrance as Corey Grave displayed on
• 2:40:33
  commentary. Rosa Christian Park and Bailey
• 2:40:35
  native San Jose host an Egyptian museum and we all saw it.
• 2:40:40
  We all thought Paramore was going to perform her song, you
• 2:40:45
  know, introduced her to the ring.
• 2:40:48
  But no, that didn't happen. Fortunately, during the match,
• 2:40:55
  Sky performed 2 consecutive bridge suplexes on Bailey from
• 2:40:57
  near Fall. Sky applied the SDF and
• 2:41:00
  transition into a CrossFit in which Bailey escaped and formed
• 2:41:02
  the Bailey's belly on Sky for Near Fall.
• 2:41:05
  Sky performed and over the moon saw Bailey kicked out after
• 2:41:08
  hitting Sky with Noble dropped Bailey from the Rose plant to
• 2:41:10
  win the title. Bailey is now your W Women's
• 2:41:15
  Championship and she gets a press conference.
• 2:41:18
  Today's Salcedo Instincts Culture.
• 2:41:20
  Bailey, congratulations. Right over here.
• 2:41:22
  Congratulations. I want to start off by asking
• 2:41:25
  you about the entire moment from making your entrance to going
• 2:41:29
  in, having the match, hearing the crowd be so behind you, and
• 2:41:33
  then winning and having this moment.
• 2:41:37
  Wow, that's a lot. I I didn't know what it was
• 2:41:40
  going to be like. Honest.
• 2:41:41
  The crowd, for one. I am newly friends with the
• 2:41:45
  crowd again. So I was concerned that, you
• 2:41:48
  know, some of them didn't forgive me for calling them
• 2:41:50
  idiots for so many years. Sometimes.
• 2:41:53
  You guys were. I'm an idiot too.
• 2:41:55
  It's fine. It's fine.
• 2:41:56
  It happens. I wasn't sure how it was going
• 2:41:59
  to be because EO is so incredibly talented and it's
• 2:42:02
  hard to not cheer for her. She's so amazing, but she's a
• 2:42:05
  really bad friend. So I was very excited to hear
• 2:42:09
  that everyone still had my back after all these years.
• 2:42:12
  I truly think that my journey through the WWE these past 11
• 2:42:17
  years has like, we have cemented such a connection, myself and
• 2:42:22
  the fans and all of you guys. So coming out I felt like, oh,
• 2:42:26
  finally think I did my job these last few years to show how much
• 2:42:31
  I care about this and how how much I care that you guys care
• 2:42:35
  about this, you know? So I felt very, very grateful
• 2:42:39
  and right now I feel crazy, feels like the weirdest dream
• 2:42:42
  that I feel like I just fantasy booked my whole life doing this.
• 2:42:46
  Then watching The Rock and The Undertaker and John Cena, I was
• 2:42:49
  like fantasy book this whole thing.
• 2:42:56
  Hi, Kristen Clark with agentthenerd.com.
• 2:42:59
  How are you? I'm great.
• 2:43:00
  Congratulations on your win. Thank you.
• 2:43:02
  I was just curious, you know, for this win, not only for you,
• 2:43:06
  but you know, how does it feel that this is a win for the fans
• 2:43:09
  as well and especially, you know, fans that are super happy
• 2:43:13
  too, to see women you know, coming to the forefront in the
• 2:43:16
  WWE as well? It really does feel like that.
• 2:43:19
  I feel that they have come along, this new era with us,
• 2:43:25
  like they wanted the change so much.
• 2:43:28
  I felt the change as soon as I came back from my injury.
• 2:43:32
  The first time at SummerSlam in that locker room, I felt that it
• 2:43:35
  was different and that was just being in Hunter's presence.
• 2:43:39
  I felt everybody was excited for the future and had hope and I
• 2:43:43
  think the fans have been feeling that too.
• 2:43:45
  And it's it's almost as if you guys are you're doing this with
• 2:43:49
  us, you know, coming along this ride and even though there are
• 2:43:52
  disappointments and bumps, like not everything can be perfect.
• 2:43:54
  But that's part of the journey and part of the story.
• 2:43:57
  And I think it this you talk about like women's wrestling and
• 2:44:02
  everything. This girl right here, Jada
• 2:44:04
  Sparks. She's probably going to freak
• 2:44:05
  out that I'm wearing this right now.
• 2:44:07
  This girl used to wait. By where we like park the cars
• 2:44:12
  and wait for everybody to pull out.
• 2:44:14
  And she would have like boss and hug custom shoes drawn.
• 2:44:19
  And when we were like tag team champions and she would wait out
• 2:44:22
  every single time, whatever city that was.
• 2:44:24
  And now she's like wrestling on the Indies and she's making a
• 2:44:27
  name for herself. One time I saw her as an extra.
• 2:44:29
  I'm like, this is nuts, but it's that used to be me.
• 2:44:33
  So it's just so real surreal and so real.
• 2:44:42
  Hi Bailey Rick uchinocagesideseats.com First
• 2:44:46
  off congratulations. Last night hearing Rhea Ripley
• 2:44:50
  talk after she defeated Becky Lynch.
• 2:44:52
  There was a lot of passing of the torch talk so to speak, with
• 2:44:56
  Rhea and and Bianca with it, especially with Rhea's wins over
• 2:44:59
  Charlotte last year as well. Kind of like the the Four horse
• 2:45:02
  women needing to maybe step aside with all this talent
• 2:45:05
  that's here. Was tonight kind of a message
• 2:45:07
  like, Nah, we ain't going nowhere.
• 2:45:11
  I guess. You know, I I think Rhea is she
• 2:45:18
  is once in a lifetime. I get so jealous of her first.
• 2:45:24
  I have so much respect for her because she works her butt off.
• 2:45:27
  She does everything. I mean, you guys see Judgement
• 2:45:29
  Day on every single show like 10 times throughout the night and
• 2:45:33
  that is not easy and sometimes not always fun.
• 2:45:36
  It's so it's very hard. So I have all the respect for
• 2:45:39
  the work she does, plus she puts on incredible matches.
• 2:45:41
  She'll be like, she's so young, so athletic.
• 2:45:44
  She does one dropkick that I can't even, I can't do a
• 2:45:48
  dropkick to someone's knees, you know, It's like everything she
• 2:45:50
  does makes me mad. But I feel if if, as the time
• 2:45:56
  comes for the four horse women to lift the division up and get
• 2:46:02
  better and better, as we wanted to do from the beginning, I'm
• 2:46:05
  glad that it's going to someone like Rio Ripley and it's going
• 2:46:09
  to somebody like Bianca Bel Air, Liv Morgan.
• 2:46:13
  There's so many. You got Zoe Starks.
• 2:46:15
  There's so many women that are itching to get out there.
• 2:46:20
  Candice Larae is like finally showing her face out there.
• 2:46:23
  You got all the girls in NXT. Roxanne Perez Lyra.
• 2:46:29
  It. This is exactly what we wanted,
• 2:46:31
  so if she's ready to take it on, I am very proud and I'm very
• 2:46:35
  glad to watch it happen. But let me have my damn moment.
• 2:46:39
  Rhea 3rd row. Hi.
• 2:46:44
  Better congratulations. Joe Baymont here from Sport in
• 2:46:46
  the UK last year, Damage Control coming out of WrestleMania
• 2:46:50
  didn't feel like there was too much momentum with the group
• 2:46:53
  after the lost elite Attrition Becky.
• 2:46:54
  But then over the last 12 months that seems to completely change
• 2:46:57
  with this storyline as well with you split it from the group and
• 2:46:59
  then becoming such a prominent part of this year's event.
• 2:47:02
  What would you say was the turning point in the last year
• 2:47:03
  for you all Personally, I think the we just had a weird it was
• 2:47:14
  that whole experience was very humbling to me.
• 2:47:17
  I I imagined creating a group it was going to be so different and
• 2:47:21
  the fans were going to love it and it was just going to we were
• 2:47:23
  going to be dominating everything.
• 2:47:26
  But there was so much more that goes into it behind the scenes.
• 2:47:28
  And we had to work on our chemistry, like real life
• 2:47:30
  chemistry, as friends and share our goals with each other, like
• 2:47:34
  what we want out of this so that we can help each other get
• 2:47:38
  there. And I think once we started
• 2:47:39
  ironing, ironing those things out and getting confident in
• 2:47:42
  ourselves and trusting each other, we started to feel
• 2:47:46
  better. Everybody started being
• 2:47:47
  themselves. You know, we weren't trying to
• 2:47:49
  be professional. We were like be able to hang out
• 2:47:51
  with your friends and put on the best work we can.
• 2:47:54
  Then EO won the title. And I think that was just like,
• 2:47:57
  we're on top of the world, you know?
• 2:48:01
  There's a second part I was going to say, and I don't
• 2:48:03
  remember, but I think EO winning the title was definitely a shift
• 2:48:08
  change. Just hearing the reaction when
• 2:48:10
  like Dakota came in the ring there.
• 2:48:12
  I said they do care about us. They do remember our moments.
• 2:48:16
  Yes, it's the long journey. I didn't think it would we'd be
• 2:48:19
  here right now. I know what I was going to say.
• 2:48:22
  I talk a lot sometimes I think I got time.
• 2:48:25
  To me, although Damage Control still took a loss last night,
• 2:48:32
  them coming out and getting an entrance, like you know, they
• 2:48:36
  had a little bit to their entrance.
• 2:48:38
  Dakota was on last year's, got hurt, still made it to this one
• 2:48:42
  and then they came out tonight. So to me, Damage Control was on
• 2:48:45
  two nights of WrestleMania and that's a win to me, although
• 2:48:49
  they both lost. One final question.
• 2:48:55
  Congratulations Emily May with Sports Gator Wrestling.
• 2:48:59
  Hello. You mentioned and and throughout
• 2:49:02
  this whole week there has been a mention of a new era, a Paul
• 2:49:06
  Levesque era, and we saw some returns tonight.
• 2:49:10
  We saw Brandy and we saw Stephanie McMahon.
• 2:49:12
  If you can, speak to this new era as WWE Women's Champion and
• 2:49:18
  how these returns might affect that.
• 2:49:25
  Well, I saw Stephanie in the back and I thought that when I
• 2:49:29
  saw her at Hall of Fame, I didn't even get a chance to see
• 2:49:32
  her. But I was super excited to see
• 2:49:33
  her there. She's just such an awesome
• 2:49:37
  person to have around. She's so genuine and real.
• 2:49:41
  She takes care of you. She looks at you and your eyes
• 2:49:43
  when you're talking to her, like she cares.
• 2:49:45
  You know, one time I saw the makeup people spill Bobby pins
• 2:49:48
  on accident. She got on the floor and picked
• 2:49:50
  them all up. I was like, wow, she's
• 2:49:52
  incredible. But seeing her go out there and
• 2:49:55
  say the Welcome to WrestleMania, to me that was huge.
• 2:49:59
  That was that was like women could be in this position right
• 2:50:03
  now and can welcome the world to the biggest show in the world at
• 2:50:08
  the biggest Wrestle Mania ever. I feel insane that I'm a part of
• 2:50:13
  this at this time, at the hottest it's ever been.
• 2:50:17
  I am. I do not take it for granted.
• 2:50:19
  I do not take it lightly. And I've known Stephanie for a
• 2:50:23
  long time. Seeing Brandy back there was
• 2:50:25
  really cool. I was watching.
• 2:50:26
  I was sitting next to her. She's watching the main event.
• 2:50:28
  She's just like tapping her leg and like doing stuff.
• 2:50:31
  I had to rub her back. I was like, you got this, it's
• 2:50:34
  going to be OK. You're going to be OK.
• 2:50:38
  It's it's a very comforting feeling in the back and that
• 2:50:42
  makes this so much better. Bailey, thank you so much for
• 2:50:47
  your time and congratulations. Enjoy your championship
• 2:50:50
  celebration tonight. Oh yeah.
• 2:50:53
  I love this match. It was short, but I loved it.
• 2:50:57
  Like, I'm glad she got her when her wrestling moment.
• 2:51:01
  Her and Michael Cole are on good terms at the moment.
• 2:51:04
  So that's it. Yeah, he even said, you know, I,
• 2:51:13
  her and I have had our problems in the past, but you know, she
• 2:51:17
  deserves this. She deserves this.
• 2:51:20
  She did before the match even happened.
• 2:51:25
  You have the entire crowd chanting for Bailey.
• 2:51:28
  Of course, Bailey. I want to know.
• 2:51:35
  Which gave her a smile, an immediate smile, and I was like,
• 2:51:39
  oh shit. And even though she was getting
• 2:51:42
  her ass kicked of the night most of the time, I believe she did
• 2:51:47
  put in. What was it 6040 or was it 8040?
• 2:51:54
  Eighty 2080% was EO and 20% with Bailey or was it 6040?
• 2:52:01
  No, I think it was like 6040. It was 6040.
• 2:52:05
  She did put in a like A and even though she was getting her ass
• 2:52:09
  kicked, yeah, the crowd was still chanting the the crowd was
• 2:52:12
  still doing that song, but at the end of the night, she'd get
• 2:52:16
  it. The 2040% of it.
• 2:52:19
  Yeah, I loved it. Finally, main event, 33 minutes
• 2:52:29
  and 25 seconds. She's always so 33 minutes, 45
• 2:52:38
  seconds, 33 and 40. This match lasted over.
• 2:52:43
  These two fought for over an hour, around an hour and a half
• 2:52:47
  mark between two nights. Come on, this isn't for you of
• 2:52:55
  the year Match of the year Next year it's something wrong.
• 2:52:59
  One of those matches has to be. Cody Rhodes defeated Roman
• 2:53:02
  Reigns righty on the speed of the Universal Championship.
• 2:53:07
  Cody Rhodes entrance came out with his wife Brandy felt like
• 2:53:11
  an homage to Brandy. The Triple H with the mask on
• 2:53:14
  and giving it to Brandy. Roman Reigns entrance had help
• 2:53:18
  from the school city of Philadelphia.
• 2:53:20
  Also, the orchestra Eva Anderson from CBS News posts the story on
• 2:53:24
  Monday night. Philadelphia School District
• 2:53:26
  officials were notified about the opportunity to help with an
• 2:53:28
  iconic entrance just over a week before Sunday's WrestleMania
• 2:53:31
  event. Initially, W reached out to
• 2:53:33
  Philadelphia Orchestra to provide musicians for the
• 2:53:36
  entrance news for rain. The orchestra then worked with
• 2:53:38
  their partners at Philadelphia public schools to create an
• 2:53:41
  opportunity of a lifetime for 90 instrumentalists, 10 vocalists
• 2:53:45
  and a conductor. A call came in and said we would
• 2:53:48
  like to add a live orchestra to one of the superstars, said
• 2:53:51
  Frank Macho, executive director of Philadelphia School Office of
• 2:53:54
  the Arts and Creative Learning Modules ended up conducting a
• 2:53:57
  group of musicians with the childhood dream come true, he
• 2:54:01
  said. I'm going to WrestleMania dream
• 2:54:04
  come true. As a child Saturday morning was
• 2:54:09
  Hulk Hogan cartoon and I had the big Boss Man buddy pillow.
• 2:54:13
  I just loved it. Great.
• 2:54:16
  Real childhood come true. According to Philadelphia Public
• 2:54:19
  School officials, W plans to make a donation support the All
• 2:54:22
  City Music program as an expression of appreciation and a
• 2:54:25
  ballot in date for the donation does not get determined.
• 2:54:29
  Also the kids that were interviewed for this and they
• 2:54:33
  were also performing where around 14 to 1718 years old.
• 2:54:41
  So some of them were like Oh my God, I'm going to WrestleMania
• 2:54:46
  and I'm going to help usher out Roman reign.
• 2:54:51
  So it was like, not only was there a childhood dream for
• 2:54:54
  their teacher, so, like, the kids were like, yes, I'm in it.
• 2:54:59
  I'm for it. If if I ever.
• 2:55:04
  Because I wasn't bad. Oh God, yeah.
• 2:55:07
  So that was my dream. That would have been my dream
• 2:55:11
  come true, right? To be able to be at WrestleMania
• 2:55:18
  and get to perform Roman Reigns's song.
• 2:55:24
  Oh. They're living.
• 2:55:26
  Our dream. They're living our dream.
• 2:55:33
  Oh my gosh yes. During the match Reigns and Rose
• 2:55:37
  fought into the crowd where Rose Suplex reigned on a table.
• 2:55:41
  Back in the ring, the range performed the back suplex of the
• 2:55:44
  Fisherman's Suplex on roads were near false.
• 2:55:47
  Outside the ring. Ring performed a low blowing
• 2:55:48
  roads before powerbomb him driven announced people.
• 2:55:51
  The two continued to fight back in the ring where Rose performed
• 2:55:53
  the crossroads on Reigns As he attempted the second Jimmy OSO
• 2:55:57
  attacked Rose. Where was Jimmy OSO coming from?
• 2:56:01
  From under the 8th Did I announce this show as from under
• 2:56:07
  the apron? No I didn't.
• 2:56:08
  But here's your from under the apron announcement, Jimmy USO
• 2:56:14
  attack rose. He came from under the apron.
• 2:56:17
  However, Jay USO ran in and said beer Jimmy off the entrance ramp
• 2:56:20
  through the table. Oh my God.
• 2:56:23
  So here's your superkicks and here's your spear Rains applied
• 2:56:27
  the guillotine choke of Rose forced himself and ranked out
• 2:56:30
  green for rose spear gains through the barricade.
• 2:56:32
  Much like the previous year in WrestleMania, Rose performed a
• 2:56:35
  crossroads on Rains twice, only for some Los Sokoa to appear
• 2:56:39
  from under the apron, Under the apron and a performer Simone
• 2:56:45
  Spike on Rose during the third attempt.
• 2:56:48
  However, even if they're Simone Spikes spear combination by
• 2:56:51
  Sokoa and Rain Rose kicked out. Here we go.
• 2:56:56
  John Cena, who had his own issues with the bloodline, then
• 2:57:00
  ran down to take out Sekoa and Reign.
• 2:57:02
  I wasn't expecting Johnson at all.
• 2:57:04
  I wasn't either. I was like, oh shit.
• 2:57:07
  The rock appeared and after a staredown with his Ryze rival
• 2:57:10
  performed the rock. Bottom of Cena.
• 2:57:12
  No, no, no, hold on, go back. John Cena did the whole FT.
• 2:57:20
  What was it? The attitude adjustment.
• 2:57:24
  Attitude adjustment. I was calling it the the old
• 2:57:26
  name. I was trying to call it the old
• 2:57:28
  name on the table. Knocks him out the rocks.
• 2:57:31
  Music hits. You see John Cena turn around.
• 2:57:33
  It's like, oh shit, I upset to find the boss like, oh, here we
• 2:57:39
  go And I'm just like, oh shit, what, Once in a lifetime.
• 2:57:42
  Part three. What?
• 2:57:43
  What's going on? The rock appeared and after a
• 2:57:48
  staredown window from the rock bottom on Cena.
• 2:57:51
  And then he told them, just doesn't girlfriend, you get the.
• 2:57:54
  Fuck out of you, it's. Like, don't get involved in
• 2:57:58
  fucking bloodline business. Get that look out of here.
• 2:58:02
  The Shield's music didn't hit. Who'd you think it was?
• 2:58:06
  Where did you? I thought Dean Ambrose was
• 2:58:09
  coming back. I thought so too.
• 2:58:12
  Y'all like look around. Everybody looked around.
• 2:58:14
  Like what? No.
• 2:58:18
  And I'm sitting there with my mouth open.
• 2:58:19
  No way, no way. Seth Rollins comes out wearing
• 2:58:25
  the staples. Old gear arrived with a chair
• 2:58:28
  but before he can hit range with it he was taken up with a
• 2:58:32
  Superman punch. Oh man.
• 2:58:38
  Rock began to attack. Rose with a bell but given.
• 2:58:40
  But then the lights go out. The Undertaker then appeared and
• 2:58:51
  took out rock with a choke slam. The lights come back on, right?
• 2:58:57
  Let's go back out. So let's come back on.
• 2:58:59
  And they're both gone. I don't see the rock anymore.
• 2:59:03
  Undertaker is gone. Where did the Undertaker come
• 2:59:05
  from? From under the apron.
• 2:59:11
  Where do they go under the apron again with chaos.
• 2:59:14
  I'm floating around the ring range.
• 2:59:16
  Had the opportunity to take out roads with chair, and then he
• 2:59:20
  looked at Seth with the Shield here and he had a fucking
• 2:59:29
  flashback. Yep, he said.
• 2:59:33
  It ain't gonna happen again, 'cause he got hit with a chair.
• 2:59:36
  Last year he had that flashback again when Sami Sane did it.
• 2:59:42
  Cinematic, cinematic. Oh my God.
• 2:59:46
  Like he had that flashback last year when Sammy hit him with the
• 2:59:50
  chair and then he looks at Seth has that flashback again.
• 2:59:55
  It's like, no. Like, would you take out your
• 3:00:02
  person as revenge or would you take out the guy that you're
• 3:00:07
  defending Republican. You know, it.
• 3:00:13
  I I think I would have been born.
• 3:00:15
  You know what? I would, I probably would have
• 3:00:18
  did the same thing Roman did and hit suck with it just as a
• 3:00:22
  payback. Here's your receipt.
• 3:00:23
  You know it's it's triggered what, 10 year receipt.
• 3:00:27
  Oh, my God, Because I looked Because I was like, oh, I always
• 3:00:32
  remember seeing, you know, because they've showed it every
• 3:00:37
  time that Roman has been, you know, backstabbed.
• 3:00:41
  And I was like, what? You know, when was that?
• 3:00:44
  And I looked it up, It was, you know, 2014.
• 3:00:47
  So I was like, oh, man, 10 years, almost 10 years.
• 3:00:51
  He's been holding that, you know, 'cause that was in June.
• 3:00:54
  So he's like two months shy of, you know, 10 years.
• 3:00:58
  But I'm like, Dang. But I mean, it came, you know,
• 3:01:02
  full circle. It did.
• 3:01:06
  Reigns attempt to disappear Rose, but Rose coming to move
• 3:01:10
  and hit three consecutive successful crossroads before
• 3:01:14
  pitting reign to end with 1316 Day 16 day reign as Universal
• 3:01:21
  champion, the fourth longest world championship reign in WB
• 3:01:24
  history. He's #4.
• 3:01:26
  I'm good with that. He's #3 Bruno Tom Martino was
• 3:01:30
  there twice. Well, they put his, they put his
• 3:01:36
  together. Yeah, but Roman did beat Bruno
• 3:01:42
  Sammartinez. I think it was his Martino's.
• 3:01:45
  I'm sorry, Think it was his second reign was the shorter
• 3:01:50
  one, so Roman beat that one. But Hulk Hogan is #3 yeah,
• 3:01:59
  'cause he's at 1400 some days, yeah.
• 3:02:06
  Oh well. Rhodes after the match, here we
• 3:02:17
  go, here comes the tears. Here comes the tears.
• 3:02:21
  Rhodes celebrated with many main roster stars and dirty legends,
• 3:02:24
  as well as his family. Like everybody that had a
• 3:02:31
  freaking problem with Roman, Kevin Owen, Sami Zayn, J Russo,
• 3:02:38
  Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Randy Orton are go outside and they
• 3:02:46
  check in on Seth for Seth can't even see 'cause his eyes all
• 3:02:50
  messed up. Yeah, and Sami Zayn, and they're
• 3:02:54
  all helping him up like, alright, like, what's going on,
• 3:02:56
  man? It's like what?
• 3:02:57
  And. And Jay helped him up.
• 3:03:00
  And here's the best part, that it coincides with the whole Code
• 3:03:04
  Avengers, Avengers thing. That when Seth gets up and he
• 3:03:08
  looks around like what happened and Kevin Owens tells him we won
• 3:03:15
  in Avengers. When Iron Man gets up and he's
• 3:03:21
  like knocked out in the first Avengers movie.
• 3:03:23
  And then he comes through and then he asked what happened and
• 3:03:27
  Captain America tells him we won.
• 3:03:31
  So this right here is like, I this, this, like coincided with
• 3:03:37
  everything. How Cody had his Avengers.
• 3:03:41
  And then two weeks ago, what Roman did the snap.
• 3:03:46
  Yeah, yeah, Daniel's style. And I'm like, and it's the same,
• 3:03:51
  I think it's the same night that that one girl was talking shit.
• 3:03:55
  She's like, we heard it on the broadcast.
• 3:03:58
  It's like, oh, they didn't cut her.
• 3:04:00
  They didn't cut it. Yeah.
• 3:04:02
  Oh yeah, yeah. And he did the snap and
• 3:04:06
  everybody came in and everything.
• 3:04:08
  It's like, oh shit. OK, so here Seth Rollins is Iron
• 3:04:14
  Man 'cause now he's taking the two weeks off.
• 3:04:16
  Cody, of course, is Captain America.
• 3:04:20
  Don't know who Jay is, don't know who Hulk is, don't know who
• 3:04:24
  any of these other people are. But you know, the Cody vendor
• 3:04:26
  saying is fucking amazing. I love it.
• 3:04:28
  I love how this story intertwined with everybody
• 3:04:31
  else's story after 2020. Basically we've been stuck on
• 3:04:36
  this. So like, it was amazing to see
• 3:04:39
  it end like this. So.
• 3:04:44
  WrestleMania 40 press conference, What do you guys
• 3:04:50
  want to talk about on that note? Our first question we will head
• 3:04:57
  to right here, 2nd row. Hey, Cody, congratulations.
• 3:05:01
  Mike Hoppinger from ESPN. Thank you.
• 3:05:03
  You know, finish the story. But back in 1981 when your
• 3:05:07
  father, Dusty Rhodes, won his first title, the locker room
• 3:05:09
  kind of emptied out right when he defeated Ric Flair.
• 3:05:12
  And then tonight you kind of enjoyed the same thing.
• 3:05:14
  Was that a was that a purposeful call back to that moment?
• 3:05:20
  If it was, maybe it wasn't purposeful in planning, Maybe it
• 3:05:27
  was just, I don't know, kismet destiny.
• 3:05:32
  That's one of those moments a lot of people had asked me,
• 3:05:35
  what's going to feel like if you, if you can beat the tribal
• 3:05:41
  chief, if you can beat Roman Reigns?
• 3:05:42
  And I I really was honest when I said I don't know, I don't know.
• 3:05:46
  I've never been in the end zone before, you know, I've, I've
• 3:05:50
  been one be I've main event. It shows I've I've been able to
• 3:05:57
  to be in the main event, But there's a difference between
• 3:06:01
  being in the main event and being the main event.
• 3:06:07
  Roman Reigns. Obviously he and I are not good
• 3:06:12
  friends, but that's the greatest championship reign in sports and
• 3:06:20
  in sports and entertainment. And as much as I don't agree
• 3:06:25
  with his style and the way he went about being a champion,
• 3:06:29
  perhaps I still hope I can be half the champion that that he
• 3:06:36
  he was for WWE as a leader, as the quarterback.
• 3:06:43
  In the moment, I was so happy just to see my friends.
• 3:06:52
  You don't have a lot of friends in wrestling, you know?
• 3:06:54
  And then you do and they turn on you.
• 3:06:58
  And you know, Kevin Owens is a huge part of my journey.
• 3:07:04
  I wouldn't. I wouldn't have been able to
• 3:07:06
  meet the guys I met that I needed to meet and do the things
• 3:07:11
  that we would do without him. Sammy was a huge part of my
• 3:07:14
  journey last year with the kind of budding rivalry between us
• 3:07:18
  heading towards, you know, WrestleMania and him having that
• 3:07:23
  opportunity to Elimination Chamber to see him.
• 3:07:27
  I didn't think I would see Randy just because he's, he'd probably
• 3:07:32
  get on his bus, you know, he's he's Randy.
• 3:07:38
  So to have the guy who took me under his wing and I got to
• 3:07:44
  watch be a champion, that was amazing.
• 3:07:49
  I drove, I drove Cena around for almost 2 years, learned
• 3:07:54
  everything I possibly could from him, but didn't know I was
• 3:07:56
  learning because we were just having such a good time.
• 3:08:00
  And there's nobody who carried WWE, you know, until Roman,
• 3:08:05
  like, like John Cena and and for him to be out there, my family,
• 3:08:10
  LA Knight, just just a lot of victims of the bloodline in a
• 3:08:15
  sense. There was that.
• 3:08:16
  I think more than anything, just circling back to what you asked,
• 3:08:19
  I think that was just the joy. You know, there's a respect for
• 3:08:23
  Roman in the bloodline, no doubt, but nothing is bigger
• 3:08:26
  than than the company, than than than the industry itself.
• 3:08:32
  And this was a win, a win for the for the people and certainly
• 3:08:36
  a a win for me. Thank you for your question.
• 3:08:40
  Cody, John Alba. Writing to you.
• 3:08:43
  Writing for your hometown paper. The Marietta Daily Journal.
• 3:08:46
  Oh my gosh. They said you'd say and do
• 3:08:48
  anything for them. Just for the record, well.
• 3:08:50
  So Andy McAlpine was the dude's name and I was 16 the first time
• 3:08:55
  he wrote an article about me. He spelled my last name with
• 3:08:58
  2L's and I I was still blown away that I got to be in the
• 3:09:06
  paper. And then during that amateur
• 3:09:08
  wrestling run I had, they just married a daily journal.
• 3:09:11
  Was like a propaganda rag for me.
• 3:09:14
  They were just they were all about me.
• 3:09:16
  So yes, anything. Well, I know you said that you
• 3:09:20
  grew sick of the whole Finish the Story tagline over the year,
• 3:09:23
  but Story goes so much further than creative fans have been
• 3:09:27
  following your journey for the past 20 years through your
• 3:09:30
  father, through your brother, through AW around the globe.
• 3:09:34
  What do you feel has rented resonated with people most about
• 3:09:38
  your journey and how has that led to them forming that
• 3:09:42
  authentic connection with you? It's a great question.
• 3:09:50
  I I think sometimes it feels like it's a father, son story.
• 3:09:57
  It's just something that you know, father, daughter, father,
• 3:10:00
  son that a lot of people can see and relate to.
• 3:10:03
  But then if I'm truly being honest, I think it's a story of
• 3:10:11
  as much as I had the legacy and I had the last name.
• 3:10:16
  I didn't. I wasn't born with all the
• 3:10:18
  tools. You know, my brother, 64, you
• 3:10:22
  know how pissed off I was when I stopped, stopped growing.
• 3:10:27
  My dad and and my sister just had all this charisma and and I
• 3:10:31
  think I think people resonate that that that works for them.
• 3:10:38
  You know like you can make it to the main event you can make it
• 3:10:43
  to being the the main event. I I never.
• 3:10:47
  I always wanted to be a winning franchise, if that makes any
• 3:10:50
  sense. And at my age and and where I'm
• 3:10:54
  at in my career, I know that's not been the story.
• 3:10:59
  But I I'm very proud of of what what the story has become and
• 3:11:05
  you asked you know why it resonates.
• 3:11:12
  This is the only answer I really know because it's real.
• 3:11:20
  I wanted to be this because at first he wasn't and I thought he
• 3:11:26
  should have been and then when he passed away I failed.
• 3:11:34
  You know I didn't hand it to him but it became about I said this
• 3:11:41
  earlier was in the you know the hype packages and stuff was
• 3:11:44
  playing the story was was beyond me at that point and I still
• 3:11:49
  felt the the need to to finish it.
• 3:11:52
  I've been saying all week, I think I said it on first take
• 3:11:55
  too, that even if I didn't believe people believed so I had
• 3:12:01
  to do it. I know this isn't what you asked
• 3:12:05
  at all, but something that I wanted to to share.
• 3:12:13
  I came to the back and Bruce Pritchard and Triple H and Nick
• 3:12:23
  Khan handed me this. I am.
• 3:12:29
  Ready to die. But not today.
• 3:12:33
  Destroy them all. We will fight.
• 3:12:36
  Fight Fight Level Known Part 2 The Scargiver rated PG13 only on
• 3:12:43
  Netflix, which is the same watch that my dad had that he pawned
• 3:12:55
  so that I could go to acting school.
• 3:13:00
  So the level of investment and responsibility that the company
• 3:13:07
  just put in my hands, I I hope I can pay it back, pay it forward
• 3:13:14
  100 times over. What's up, Cody?
• 3:13:19
  Jeff Johnson, how's the highlights?
• 3:13:21
  You said yourself, when one story ends, a even better story
• 3:13:26
  begins. We've ended one of the greatest
• 3:13:29
  sagas in the history of WWE, which is the Bloodline Saga.
• 3:13:33
  What is the new epilogue, the new narrate narration for your
• 3:13:39
  story now as you become, as you've become the World
• 3:13:42
  Heavyweight Champion, What is this new story to you?
• 3:13:45
  How do you lead that? I think one of the biggest fears
• 3:13:51
  I had coming into this, especially after WrestleMania
• 3:13:54
  39, one of the biggest fears I had, was if I did finish the
• 3:13:59
  story, if I did win, I would have nothing left.
• 3:14:04
  That it would literally have taken everything I've ever done,
• 3:14:08
  every match I've ever been involved with, every partner
• 3:14:10
  I've ever had, every bit of me it would take.
• 3:14:15
  And I can tell you the moment Charles Robinson hit three, I
• 3:14:21
  knew I have everything left to give.
• 3:14:24
  Still, I have a whole nother level.
• 3:14:27
  You know, you hear you've heard the former champions say all the
• 3:14:29
  time. There are levels to this.
• 3:14:31
  I just leveled up. And I think if you know me, you
• 3:14:38
  know that I'll owe it to the WWE fans, pro wrestling fans, WWE
• 3:14:42
  Universe, that what we do next has to be extremely special.
• 3:14:47
  I just heard Bailey talking about the industry, where it's
• 3:14:50
  at. I don't want that to end.
• 3:14:54
  I don't think any of us want that to end.
• 3:14:56
  And and and keeping that going forward takes, takes the minds,
• 3:15:00
  takes the locker room, takes the leaders, takes the quarterback.
• 3:15:04
  And they just made me that. So we're in.
• 3:15:09
  Hey Cody, Liam Crowley com, book.com Five years ago, you cut
• 3:15:13
  what I think is one of the most impactful promos of this
• 3:15:15
  generation, and you declared about the 14 years it took you
• 3:15:18
  to go from undesirable to on five years on from that.
• 3:15:23
  What do you call yourself now? Oh I think that's easy champion,
• 3:15:34
  right. What I wanted to call myself all
• 3:15:37
  along and in a way just to sub sidebar your question a little.
• 3:15:44
  I love that promo but it's hard to follow It's it I I kind of
• 3:15:51
  wish that I I it's hard to follow and and a lot of times my
• 3:15:56
  friends and you know my friends and family they're all here.
• 3:15:59
  They always, I remember where I was with Charlotte.
• 3:16:02
  They're like you got to you know do what you did in Charlotte.
• 3:16:04
  I'm like man, you know that magic sometimes it's just magic
• 3:16:08
  it just happens. But yeah at that point I was
• 3:16:10
  undesirable. Who had thought and felt that he
• 3:16:13
  had become undeniable But again wasn't a champion today.
• 3:16:18
  Tonight I'm a champion. Thank you.
• 3:16:23
  Last question. Cody Chris Fanini from the
• 3:16:27
  Athletic and the Getting Over Wrestling podcast.
• 3:16:30
  I was going to ask you about the watch, but you revealed that.
• 3:16:32
  What was it like giving the belt to your mother and conversations
• 3:16:38
  with your family afterward? One thing about my mom is my mom
• 3:16:47
  does not want to be on TV. She doesn't want to be.
• 3:16:53
  There. She is.
• 3:16:54
  Hey, she doesn't want to be Mama Rhodes, and she's usually asleep
• 3:17:01
  during the show. All right, but I'll tell you
• 3:17:14
  something that my she doesn't know this, but I'll never forget
• 3:17:18
  it. I was really worried when I
• 3:17:26
  didn't win at WrestleMania 39. The journey, the thought How can
• 3:17:30
  I get back to WrestleMania 40 and do it all again?
• 3:17:34
  And I remember saying to her, I remember saying I I just just
• 3:17:41
  want to be quarterback. And I remember she didn't mean
• 3:17:45
  it in any negative way, but how she slid right in as I said
• 3:17:48
  that. And she said just one time.
• 3:17:53
  And when she said that, I realized that I was out of time.
• 3:17:59
  It was now or never WrestleMania 39 like it felt this is the
• 3:18:05
  moment, this is it. That's the most obvious thing
• 3:18:07
  ever. No, what They asked me what the
• 3:18:12
  challenge was, what the task was.
• 3:18:17
  I just heard, you know, Mike the Miz who I've known my whole
• 3:18:20
  career, tell me that that was an incredible amount of pressure.
• 3:18:22
  And then I'm not going to pat myself on the back here.
• 3:18:25
  But I I feel like the gauntlet was laid down and and I and I
• 3:18:30
  was able to get through to the to the other side.
• 3:18:33
  And ultimately, the biggest challenge in front of me was the
• 3:18:37
  biggest movie star in the world, Dwayne, the Rock Johnson Mr.
• 3:18:42
  Hayman, now a Hall of Famer, And of course, the Tribal chief, a
• 3:18:47
  man who's on the Mount Rushmore of pro wrestling and sports
• 3:18:50
  entertainment. Roman Reigns.
• 3:18:54
  Man, I'm. I'm lost in all of this, if that
• 3:19:02
  makes any sense. I am.
• 3:19:05
  I know Byron's going to say, OK, you got to go.
• 3:19:10
  But if I learn anything from my dad, when it's a good night, you
• 3:19:18
  don't want it to end. So with that thought, one more
• 3:19:22
  question. Alice Mcgeorge from the Metro
• 3:19:29
  just over here in the UK. I'm here in Philadelphia, not
• 3:19:32
  the UK. Anyway, you've you've just
• 3:19:35
  mentioned your dad and you said not being able to hand that
• 3:19:38
  title to him. What would you say to him with
• 3:19:40
  him looking down on you? Now that's a great question.
• 3:19:55
  If I'm being honest, I think I'd, I'd want to say to him that
• 3:20:05
  I hope I lived up to your name and thank you for that name.
• 3:20:14
  And then I would say sorry about the tattoo.
• 3:20:21
  Thank you guys so much. Thank you guys.
• 3:20:24
  Happy WrestleMania. The undisputed WE universal
• 3:20:27
  championship map between Roman Reigns Quarter Rd. universally
• 3:20:30
  praised it was Wade Keller, pro wrestling torch.
• 3:20:33
  Called it a mega spectacle of a match, stating that the only
• 3:20:36
  downfall was the near falls. Didn't really wrestle me as
• 3:20:38
  possible finishes since the bloodline move.
• 3:20:40
  Avenge hasn't come into play yet.
• 3:20:44
  More on that in a minute, but once it did, it delivered huge
• 3:20:47
  pops. Keller stated that he loved the
• 3:20:49
  idea of other pop baby faces, other rating with Cody as Dusty
• 3:20:52
  Rhodes did that when he won the N.W.A World title.
• 3:20:55
  Chris Mueller of Bleach Report and Brent Brookhouse at CBS
• 3:20:59
  Sports called it over. Booked in the best way.
• 3:21:02
  Brookhouse stated that there was a plotting beginning.
• 3:21:05
  Beginning because everyone knew the mess of interference from
• 3:21:08
  the bloodline will be coming and that road getting help from
• 3:21:10
  James. So seeing that Rollins, another
• 3:21:12
  figure was kind of a wild mess that only makes sense at
• 3:21:14
  WrestleMania. That's true.
• 3:21:18
  See that my blood described a match in the appearances by John
• 3:21:20
  Cena, the rocking and the Taker at BMW.
• 3:21:22
  Avengers end game moment. OK, so back to the bloodline
• 3:21:32
  rule stuff. I actually thought we were going
• 3:21:35
  to have people interfering at what, 5-10 minutes into the
• 3:21:41
  match? Yeah, and we would have like, oh
• 3:21:45
  shit, now. Like he would start doing the
• 3:21:50
  whole thing and everything. The way that Seth Rollins came
• 3:21:56
  out, what we come from the crowd.
• 3:22:03
  Yeah. Yeah, Roman Reigns was like
• 3:22:08
  facing the the entrance way, looking for people looking for
• 3:22:12
  him. So was what's his.
• 3:22:16
  So was the rock. So it was a rock.
• 3:22:18
  So everybody. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a
• 3:22:20
  rock. And so basically, Seth Rollins
• 3:22:23
  said on your left, which was a callback to when Captain America
• 3:22:32
  movie The Winter Soldier, when he told Falcon on your left
• 3:22:39
  every time. And you know it was everybody's
• 3:22:44
  going to say no, it wasn't. You're reaching.
• 3:22:46
  You know it was on your left, and that's where Seth Rollins
• 3:22:50
  comes in. Seth Rollins being The Shield to
• 3:22:54
  Cody Rhodes. And that's what he meant.
• 3:22:59
  Like because somebody had posted something, made a big thing
• 3:23:03
  about it on Twitter on TikTok. I mean, that Seth Rollins being
• 3:23:09
  his shield is what he meant. That Roman Reigns would have
• 3:23:15
  done it like that's why he caused.
• 3:23:18
  That's why he wore the the color, the suit, the shield
• 3:23:22
  suit. Because he knew Roman would,
• 3:23:24
  like, you know, diverge his plan from Cody Rhodes to him, yeah.
• 3:23:33
  Yeah. What else happened?
• 3:23:37
  So we see Seth congratulate Cody, who's like, OK, you're
• 3:23:44
  good. Yeah.
• 3:23:44
  Thank you, buddy. You know, you did well.
• 3:23:46
  Thank you for everything. I appreciate you.
• 3:23:49
  Like you said earlier, Becky Lynch was sick.
• 3:23:52
  She's taking some time off. Seth is taking some time off,
• 3:23:57
  which you didn't see. Was Roman going to the back and
• 3:24:02
  going to the stage and crying to Paul Heyman?
• 3:24:06
  Oh, gosh, that broke my heart. Oh my gosh, oh, what about this
• 3:24:12
  gracious Oh man, I saw it on. Let's see.
• 3:24:21
  I first saw it on Instagram and then I saw a couple Tik Tokers
• 3:24:28
  post it and then I was like, oh God, that's so sad.
• 3:24:35
  Oh like I'm crying for him, crying for him.
• 3:24:39
  I am too. We all are.
• 3:24:42
  What did we sync up? The show overall it was.
• 3:24:47
  It lived up to being the biggest WrestleMania.
• 3:24:51
  Yes, it did. I like I said on our predictions
• 3:24:55
  episode, I was so excited for it because it lived up to the hype.
• 3:25:01
  They hyped it up so much, you know and.
• 3:25:08
  The hype was good. I mean, I I did not see Cody
• 3:25:13
  winning, as you know, but the fact that, yes, he won, yes,
• 3:25:20
  he's finished his story. But Roman, he probably just
• 3:25:27
  wanted, I mean, he can always have time off because you know,
• 3:25:31
  that's just what he does. Yeah, but he needs, he probably
• 3:25:37
  needs the time off because it's getting to where, you know, he
• 3:25:39
  wants to do more with his kids, spend time with his wife, and
• 3:25:45
  his run was amazing. It was 3 1/2 years, 3 1/2 years,
• 3:25:50
  1360 days. I'm thinking that the undertaker
• 3:25:56
  being there wasn't planned. I think it was somebody else who
• 3:25:59
  was supposed to be there for that moment right there and it
• 3:26:02
  would have like made more sense had stone cold and it being 1316
• 3:26:10
  days. Yeah, 316.
• 3:26:12
  Yeah, that would have been awesome.
• 3:26:14
  That would have been great. But it it makes sense.
• 3:26:19
  Also that Undertaker first match was against Dusty Rhodes at
• 3:26:24
  Survivor Series and he pinned Dusty Rhodes and here we have
• 3:26:30
  Undertaker helping Cody. Yeah, I would say Undertaker is
• 3:26:38
  the Sorcerer Supreme of the Marvel Universe, because, you
• 3:26:45
  know, he can get up. He's the dead man, of course.
• 3:26:48
  Yeah. He's Doctor Strange.
• 3:26:53
  Yeah. The rock is just the rock.
• 3:26:58
  The final path, Of course, yeah, the show was amazing.
• 3:27:04
  Like, it made me forget about Jay and Jimmy the night before.
• 3:27:08
  I really did. But then I realized, no, that
• 3:27:11
  was the only match there that was just like, what it it like,
• 3:27:18
  OK, so you're advancing the storyline, but you're not
• 3:27:21
  really, like, making this a serious match between both of
• 3:27:24
  you. Like, 'cause I like I said, I
• 3:27:25
  wasn't expecting much. Not like Jeff versus Matt, like
• 3:27:29
  there too, but Bret Hart versus Owen Hart is going to be the
• 3:27:33
  best brother versus brother match of all time.
• 3:27:39
  Overall, both shows greatest WrestleMania of all time like
• 3:27:43
  you said. Yeah.
• 3:27:47
  It was. It was amazing.
• 3:27:48
  It was. I mean that's that's all I can
• 3:27:51
  think of. That's it was amazing it.
• 3:27:54
  I wasn't disappointed. You know, you can, I mean, like
• 3:27:59
  you said, you can get rid of one match.
• 3:28:01
  It would be, you know, Jay versus Jimmy.
• 3:28:04
  But it was, I mean, even with the bloodline rules, they didn't
• 3:28:11
  use too much. You know what I mean?
• 3:28:15
  Yeah, Cody started, you know, by bringing out Kendall 6 and
• 3:28:18
  bringing out a table. But I'm like it.
• 3:28:21
  They literally fought first before the interference came.
• 3:28:27
  Yes, You know, of course. And I was like, well, I knew
• 3:28:31
  we'd see solo. I knew we'd see Jimmy.
• 3:28:34
  You know, I, you know, I figured the Rock would be there because
• 3:28:38
  he was there. I was expecting more bloodline
• 3:28:41
  people like more wrestler come out like they did at Wally
• 3:28:46
  Mania. One of the brothers or cousins
• 3:28:51
  came in and like hung out with them.
• 3:28:54
  There was also talk about Jacob Pateu being in around.
• 3:29:01
  And I was just like, oh, here we go.
• 3:29:03
  Here comes the, the rumors. See, that's what I thought.
• 3:29:07
  You know, if they brought in him, he would be the one to
• 3:29:10
  interfere, just like, you know, Solo was, you know, when Solo
• 3:29:15
  was in, you know, Cardiff, no one expected him and he showed
• 3:29:22
  up, You know what I mean? So I'm like something like that
• 3:29:25
  would have been a, you know, like a huge surprise.
• 3:29:28
  But I'm like, you know what? For everybody that was involved,
• 3:29:33
  it was, it was great. Yes, it was.
• 3:29:36
  It was all great. Sounds like it was great.
• 3:29:38
  It was a great ending to the whole storyline, the whole
• 3:29:44
  thing. Like hopefully a new story comes
• 3:29:47
  out of this with Roman, But it was a great ending for that RAW
• 3:30:00
  after Mania. However, earlier that night Adam
• 3:30:06
  Pearson announced RAW would be commercial free and that hour
• 3:30:09
  ended up being in a 45 minute promo tribulation.
• 3:30:14
  Cody Rhodes opens up the show. After congratulating The
• 3:30:17
  American Nightmare and his big win, he threw a special video
• 3:30:20
  package put together by Summit Rd's long time friends on the
• 3:30:23
  production team. Nobody was able to see it in the
• 3:30:26
  arena except for the few people sitting in the front row
• 3:30:29
  watching ATV monitor. Like brings me back to Summer
• 3:30:34
  Slam when Undertaker of Mankind was happening and all we could
• 3:30:39
  see was just a monitor and as well as school when you know, it
• 3:30:45
  was a rainy day, lots of Roman chants.
• 3:30:54
  Cody says we don't have to like him, but I certainly acknowledge
• 3:30:57
  what he's done. Perhaps he's the most important
• 3:31:00
  superstar of our generation. Huge ovation of thank you Roman
• 3:31:05
  chants after that. So it was freaking awesome.
• 3:31:09
  He finally acknowledges the Tribe of Chief.
• 3:31:12
  That's right. Rock comes out.
• 3:31:15
  They exchanged titles before the final.
• 3:31:17
  Boss warned the new champion that he is coming back after
• 3:31:20
  stuff, coming in hiatus and targeting him.
• 3:31:22
  Rock played something in Rose's hand and told him not to break.
• 3:31:25
  It's hard again. That whole thing with damn
• 3:31:28
  Exchanging Belt. Like why?
• 3:31:33
  Why did that? Why would you do that?
• 3:31:36
  Like don't go. Can I?
• 3:31:38
  Can I? Can I wear your belt?
• 3:31:39
  Can I? Can I?
• 3:31:40
  Can I hold it? You can hold mine.
• 3:31:42
  You can hold mine And I love how the Rock came out with his belt.
• 3:31:46
  With his people championship belt.
• 3:31:48
  Make believe people championship belt at night one like it
• 3:31:53
  mattered And I'm and I tweeted this like oh here comes the rock
• 3:31:58
  with his You know like the Rock has a belt too.
• 3:32:01
  I matter no go away. Seth has his belt.
• 3:32:06
  Roman has his belt. Here comes The Rock.
• 3:32:08
  Like he it didn't make anything. It doesn't.
• 3:32:12
  It's not up for grabs. It's not a championship title
• 3:32:15
  you want. That's Europe.
• 3:32:20
  So he's all like, hey you want to change belt, like wear this
• 3:32:24
  one and tell me how you what you think of it.
• 3:32:26
  And Cody's looking at it like, OK, puts it on like it's it's
• 3:32:31
  fine. Rock, it's fine.
• 3:32:34
  It doesn't mean anything. But it's fine.
• 3:32:37
  And then The Rock's holding the title and I'm like, don't you
• 3:32:41
  dare come back, Please. This is awkward.
• 3:32:44
  Chance, during the exchange of belts as fans stayed red hot.
• 3:32:49
  He tells him your story with Roman Reigns over.
• 3:32:52
  Did it? But our story has just begun.
• 3:32:58
  Possibly a summer slam. Yeah.
• 3:33:01
  Come back the judgment day promo to introduce Bria and then
• 3:33:08
  introduce Damon Priest and they hold the belt up in the air.
• 3:33:11
  In the middle our truth appears holding the raw tagging
• 3:33:13
  championship team still part of the group.
• 3:33:19
  I'm like why are you here Still the misinterrupted and the six
• 3:33:22
  man yeah six man tag team match was made putting the champion in
• 3:33:29
  a partner no one can see against Dominic Mysterio.
• 3:33:32
  JT with Valor, I actually saw he was going to, like, mention
• 3:33:36
  Jimmy. Yeah, it's like, is Jimmy coming
• 3:33:40
  back? And everybody in the crowd
• 3:33:41
  chatting. Jimmy.
• 3:33:42
  Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. That's what I said.
• 3:33:45
  So when I saw that, I was like, he's like you three against us
• 3:33:50
  three. And they're like, he's like, I
• 3:33:53
  know you're not talking about little Jimmy.
• 3:33:56
  Right, Right. Yeah.
• 3:33:58
  Play. Oh goodness.
• 3:34:00
  I was like, oh maybe Cena will come in.
• 3:34:04
  They beat about. So yeah, they did.
• 3:34:08
  The hill dominated through two commercial breaks before.
• 3:34:11
  John C has been played in the bridge of All Time, Rush to the
• 3:34:14
  rank explodes the Match of tag and Laid Waste Chuck before
• 3:34:18
  joining Awesome Truth for the 15 Knuckle Shuffle.
• 3:34:21
  Not just 5/15. Usually at Roster Mania we see
• 3:34:26
  surprise returns or people being called up to the main roster
• 3:34:29
  from NXT. This year was a bit different as
• 3:34:31
  we found out there would be a draft in the next coming week
• 3:34:33
  and the two rest of that are part of the draft Are the
• 3:34:35
  champion coming in E Roxanne Perez, Ilya Dragonov.
• 3:34:42
  Jay wins the A shot at facing whoever the champion is.
• 3:34:47
  Stephen Priest Yeah, and finally another big thing that went on
• 3:34:53
  happened off camera. Before the show started and
• 3:34:55
  during a promo, fans posted a video of an eerie song playing
• 3:34:58
  and then it turns off. The name of the song is
• 3:35:00
  Nightbird and by Marty Amato and it was released in 2020.
• 3:35:05
  It has to do with depression and heartbreak and jitter scene
• 3:35:08
  game. When Bronson Reed was doing his
• 3:35:11
  promo, the screen glitch in the corner screen, the word hello
• 3:35:15
  was seen. What's another way of saying
• 3:35:18
  hello? Howdy.
• 3:35:23
  This all just means we have a new White Rabbit campaign,
• 3:35:27
  especially after the post credit scene we saw during the Bray
• 3:35:30
  Wyatt documentary where the Lantern flickered back and saw
• 3:35:33
  Uncle Howdy. That was awesome.
• 3:35:39
  So if Wrestle Mania was end game with the Cody Vendors Saga
• 3:35:42
  finally coming to an end. Raw after Mania was the mid
• 3:35:45
  credit scene, but the after credit scene was on Tuesday.
• 3:35:49
  We finally hear from the tribal chief on Twitter where he
• 3:35:53
  tweeted a video of himself walking on the treadmill with
• 3:35:56
  the captain yesterday. I mourned Today is day one.
• 3:36:03
  He's not done. He's coming back and we're going
• 3:36:05
  to see it unfold after the draft because as soon as he puts
• 3:36:09
  somewhere, that's where he's going to wreck havoc.
• 3:36:16
  He's going to. Show up and win or wreck
• 3:36:20
  everyone and leave. Wreck everyone and leave Summer
• 3:36:23
  Slam. That's what he did at 2020.
• 3:36:27
  Yes, it is. So how do we feel about this,
• 3:36:31
  all this? How do we feel about the entire
• 3:36:34
  weekend? It was.
• 3:36:38
  That's why I said I was a little depressed because, you know,
• 3:36:41
  Robin left, Robin lost. But it was, it was great.
• 3:36:47
  It was great. You know, I was so excited for
• 3:36:52
  all of the matches. I was excited for both nights.
• 3:36:55
  Usually they'll like what my experience has been before is
• 3:37:01
  they'll like jam pack one day and then the other one is just
• 3:37:06
  kind of lackluster. Like why was that?
• 3:37:10
  You know, why was Saturday better than Sunday?
• 3:37:14
  You know, But they both days were great and they get, you
• 3:37:22
  know, they they lived up to the hype and I I just loved it all.
• 3:37:30
  Now it's got me excited for next year and I'm like they have to
• 3:37:34
  top every WrestleMania from now on.
• 3:37:38
  It just has to get bigger and better and I see why they do the
• 3:37:44
  two nights because it would literally be a six hour show,
• 3:37:49
  you know what I mean? So like, yeah, I know, you know,
• 3:37:54
  I know during COVID they had to do that.
• 3:37:58
  But because they're making so many matches, it makes sense to
• 3:38:03
  have two nights. Yep, same thing that I said at
• 3:38:11
  the top of the show. Now I have depression.
• 3:38:16
  Crud or Con Depression or rest? Depression.
• 3:38:20
  Mania. Depression, Mania, depression.
• 3:38:23
  Shit. Mania Crud.
• 3:38:27
  Like we spent all this time consuming the product for the
• 3:38:35
  entire week and here we are. And not like 3 hours later.
• 3:38:44
  Well, not a three hour like. We'll see how this show lasts.
• 3:38:47
  There's like a 2 1/2 hours so far, but we're talking about
• 3:38:52
  wrestling for 2 1/2 hours and we're talking about
• 3:38:55
  WrestleMania, and it wasn't this long last year, so it might
• 3:39:00
  become a saying from now on to talk about both nights.
• 3:39:04
  So every WrestleMania, we're just going to like tell you
• 3:39:08
  right now it's going to be a three hour long show or 2 1/2
• 3:39:12
  hour long show, whatever. Well, if they keep doing like
• 3:39:17
  they're doing, it's going to be ended up 3 three hours.
• 3:39:22
  WE World. I didn't even talk about the
• 3:39:24
  WWE2K24 game matches that they had at World.
• 3:39:30
  Fluffy was there. He was competing.
• 3:39:34
  Fluffy was also doing the award show.
• 3:39:41
  Fluffy was there that night, the entire weekend with them.
• 3:39:44
  So it's like, oh, shit, Gabriel Iglesias is part of the the
• 3:39:48
  universe now. I love to say they need to work
• 3:39:52
  on the Slammys. OK.
• 3:39:55
  Yeah. Better prompter people get
• 3:39:58
  better prompter people don't like actual video.
• 3:40:03
  Keep Kathy Kelly. We we love Kathy Kelly.
• 3:40:06
  Well, I do. So yeah, she's, you know, she's
• 3:40:11
  she's growing on me. Yeah.
• 3:40:14
  Anyway, it was fun. I loved it the entire week.
• 3:40:22
  Everything. Everything about it all.
• 3:40:24
  WrestleMania week. Hope everyone had fun.
• 3:40:27
  Whoever was there. Hope.
• 3:40:29
  Shout out again to dump truck Danny for all the video footage
• 3:40:36
  that she provided for her. TikTok shouting her out because
• 3:40:43
  I want her to know that this is still awesome.
• 3:40:47
  No matter what happens, we'll support her.
• 3:40:50
  Everything, all that stuff. And just like that, the
• 3:40:58
  WrestleMania season comes to an end.
• 3:41:02
  Thank you for coming on to the show.
• 3:41:04
  You have been awesome. I love when friends come on to
• 3:41:08
  the show and have this kind of discussion for 2 1/2 hours.
• 3:41:14
  Oh man, this is great. He's so wonderful to have
• 3:41:20
  around. Why do we do this?
• 3:41:26
  Because we have a passion for something.
• 3:41:30
  There it is. There's your answer.
• 3:41:32
  We do. We do this.
• 3:41:33
  We have a. We have a passion.
• 3:41:37
  It is the 150th episode. Congratulations.
• 3:41:41
  We did it a. 150 episodes. Later, we're done.
• 3:41:46
  The the the podcast's not done. Of course not.
• 3:41:49
  But I'm done. Which means I'm taking a month
• 3:41:51
  off. Nothing bad is going on, but I
• 3:41:52
  just want to take a small break, refresh, and come back when.
• 3:41:56
  So in the meantime, I may repost some greatest hits episode.
• 3:42:00
  So keep an eye or an ear out for that one.
• 3:42:06
  I might do comic books. I mean I did just start the show
• 3:42:10
  about comic books. So this is the the after credit
• 3:42:13
  scene again of this podcast telling you, hey more of that is
• 3:42:18
  coming up in the near future. We'll just, I'm just going to
• 3:42:25
  take a break. I'm going to reassess the
• 3:42:27
  situation. I'm going to like edit the
• 3:42:31
  entire description of the show again.
• 3:42:34
  I'm going to edit the trailer. I'm going to edit.
• 3:42:36
  I'm going to do more stuff, more trailers.
• 3:42:40
  I'm going to include something. I'm going to include more stuff.
• 3:42:48
  What I'm really excited. Can you maybe bring back a Co
• 3:42:53
  host maybe, you know all that stuff.
• 3:42:55
  What I'm really excited about is that Tumblr is doing
• 3:42:58
  communities. I saw that, saw that, yeah.
• 3:43:05
  So in the spirit of all sayings that we did last year, we did
• 3:43:10
  live. So this time they're trying to
• 3:43:12
  do communities. They're trying to do like a
• 3:43:14
  whole, hey, like, you can start your own community here and do
• 3:43:20
  all that stuff. And it could be either private
• 3:43:23
  or it could be a public community.
• 3:43:26
  But like, you're with your fandom and all that stuff.
• 3:43:32
  And I'm like, it's on beta right now, so don't expect anything if
• 3:43:35
  you're from back there. But if anything, I'm so down for
• 3:43:39
  it. It's like I reblogged it and
• 3:43:41
  everything. I even checked the comments.
• 3:43:43
  Of course I'm going to check the comments.
• 3:43:44
  Of course they're going to fucking have issues with that
• 3:43:47
  because they always do Like what?
• 3:43:51
  And then of course they're the naysayers.
• 3:43:54
  You gave us live and took it away.
• 3:43:56
  You're going to do the same thing for this one, huh?
• 3:43:58
  And of course, there's the other ones that are like, yay, you
• 3:44:01
  know? So don't turn it into Reddit,
• 3:44:04
  please. That's why we can't have nice
• 3:44:06
  things on Tumblr. Who cares what it looks like?
• 3:44:12
  Just have fun, that's all. As soon as it happens, as soon
• 3:44:19
  as we get, I get confirmation that their community is coming
• 3:44:23
  up. I'm going to join it.
• 3:44:25
  I'm going to build the community all over again.
• 3:44:29
  And of course we're going to do the whole podcast thing,
• 3:44:32
  hopefully. What what should we do?
• 3:44:34
  Like a wrestling podcast, a wrestling community, Kaba
• 3:44:39
  community, or all stuff community, like from under the
• 3:44:43
  apron community? Let's do that.
• 3:44:45
  Because I'm sure not going to call it the fatherless behavior
• 3:44:52
  community. No, no, that's your little
• 3:44:56
  little family. That's my little family that I
• 3:44:59
  have going on. Like we came from that, but
• 3:45:02
  we're going to call it something else possibly take from a
• 3:45:08
  another little network that happened a year ago and like
• 3:45:13
  rebranded with my vision. So we'll see, we'll see how that
• 3:45:17
  goes. Before I forget if you heard the
• 3:45:22
  show from his inception, then you heard the diabetes episode.
• 3:45:25
  This month I'm celebrating my three-year anniversary of when I
• 3:45:29

• 3:46:44
  post, but they're no longer allowing us.
• 3:46:47
  They will no longer be allowing us to edit from there starting
• 3:46:53
  in June. So I'm going to look around.
• 3:46:57
  They offer us Riverside. I looked into Riverside.
• 3:47:02
  You can have as many guests as you can.
• 3:47:05
  You can also share your screen so you can possibly see me doing
• 3:47:10
  the the the episodes with the YouTube and all that stuff and
• 3:47:17
  you can possibly see them and I don't have to edit it here on
• 3:47:21
  separately, I can just leave it on there.
• 3:47:26
  We are possibly going to have to relocate to that to use for
• 3:47:32
  editing and then post it on either Riverside and it will
• 3:47:37
  automatically post to Spotify or bring it over to the Spotify for
• 3:47:41
  podcasters app. Again like save it there as well
• 3:47:45
  just in case. But the other thing also is that
• 3:47:49
  there's a chat room system in there.
• 3:47:52
  I can send you invite as an audience member.
• 3:47:55
  I can send you invite as a guest or as a producer.
• 3:47:59
  The only producer is me obviously, but if you possibly
• 3:48:04
  Mike Michael, I'll have him as Co producer.
• 3:48:09
  If anything, like, it would be like a private event where I
• 3:48:15
  would send it to you and you can come in as an audience and you
• 3:48:18
  can watch us. And then I can have a schedule.
• 3:48:21
  Like, we could do this on Thursday and I can do the
• 3:48:24
  podcast on Thursdays and you can be there and I can just like
• 3:48:27
  whenever I see you chatting, I can just say it out loud, hey,
• 3:48:31
  this person in the chat says this.
• 3:48:34
  So if we're building communities on Tumblr, I want to build this
• 3:48:37
  community to come to Riverside. And you know, like, I want to
• 3:48:43
  see if anybody will come to Riverside and follow me there.
• 3:48:46
  So if you're listening and you want to be a part of it, let me
• 3:48:49
  know. e-mail us, e-mail me at fromtheapron@gmail.com and I
• 3:48:56
  will send you a link. I will tell you what's going on.
• 3:49:00
  I will provide a website. I will tell you where on
• 3:49:02
  Riverside, When on Riverside, whatever is happening, I don't
• 3:49:06
  know, maybe Monday. I don't know the date yet.
• 3:49:09
  I don't know the exact date, but I will let you know for that.
• 3:49:14
  And yes, that is all wheezing manas.
• 3:49:19
  I think that's amazing. And you know you can count me in
• 3:49:22
  of course your Co host. You have you have you have you
• 3:49:27
  can't go anywhere you can't go. I guess I'm stuck You're you've
• 3:49:33
  been stuck here since 2021 ma'am, or 2022 And if I may
• 3:49:39
  throw this out. I believe this is my 10th
• 3:49:42
  episode. Look at you counting your
• 3:49:44
  episodes. 150 for me, 10 for you.
• 3:49:51
  You have 140 to go ma'am. Yes I do.
• 3:49:56
  I will never do your that much so right.
• 3:49:59
  I want to hear from you guys. What do you guys think Riverside
• 3:50:02
  is the way to go? Would you want to jump in as an
• 3:50:07
  audience member? Would you like to like I can
• 3:50:09
  even send you a link to Co host with me.
• 3:50:14
  We can do music from there as well because I know people been
• 3:50:18
  asking for the music episode ever since I did one with Babel
• 3:50:22
  and we got to re like re go re redo that moment because I want
• 3:50:27
  to do it like we did 5 songs each of songs that shaped us.
• 3:50:35
  I'm thinking of doing five more. Like, I'm calling it the
• 3:50:37
  episode, five more songs and we could potentially do it.
• 3:50:43
  I wouldn't be able to post it on YouTube, obviously, because you
• 3:50:46
  know copyright and all that stuff, but but we could
• 3:50:52
  eventually do it and post it on Spotify.
• 3:50:54
  It'll work. Not getting paid for that one.
• 3:50:58
  I'll make sure of it. We don't.
• 3:51:02
  We're not. Yeah, I'll try to edit that one
• 3:51:05
  out. So send me the send me a message
• 3:51:12
  from under the apron@gmail.com. Let me know what you guys think,
• 3:51:15
  what days I should do it. If you want to be involved in
• 3:51:19
  the community on Tumblr let me know.
• 3:51:21
  Or we could make our own website.
• 3:51:24
  I know there's from under the apron.com.
• 3:51:26
  It's going to happen and I should build it up to adult
• 3:51:30
  website and we can start community from there.
• 3:51:34
  We could talk or we could do Discord.
• 3:51:37
  It doesn't matter. I want to hear from you guys.
• 3:51:40
  I am branching out. I want to do this in the next
• 3:51:44
  month or two months this whole year.
• 3:51:47
  If I had a goal last year of 10,000 and 100 episodes, here we
• 3:51:55
  have the new goal of building this whole community, building
• 3:51:58
  it up. We have people in the community
• 3:52:03
  and I'll tell you who they are right now, but we had those
• 3:52:07
  people. We want more people.
• 3:52:08
  We want more people like you. We want more people like dump
• 3:52:12
  Truck Danny who goes out to record stuff.
• 3:52:15
  And and you know, she's not she's not part of it.
• 3:52:19
  But I would love her for to be a part of it.
• 3:52:21
  I would love for her to be on this episode on this show and
• 3:52:24
  this. Tell me what she thought of
• 3:52:27
  WrestleMania or what she thinks of wrestling now or what's going
• 3:52:31
  on. Like mental health wise, what's
• 3:52:34
  her favorite song? I would love for other people to
• 3:52:37
  come out to this show and because I have questions, I
• 3:52:41
  would love to ask you stuff. Let me know we're doing
• 3:52:44
  Riverside. I got to tweak the stuff on that
• 3:52:48
  more. Possibly in the next few weeks
• 3:52:52
  of set up an episode and we can do it on Riverside and I'll send
• 3:52:58
  you the invite. I'll math post it first and see
• 3:53:01
  how it goes, and then we'll go from there.
• 3:53:06
  OK, that's it. That's the final saying right
• 3:53:07
