The question is, oh you when I talk to her, I would give

0:33
in a world with a black and white n eat us of world? Yeah,
0:42
don't you some l there's not extreme the trap you got. I'm bad.
1:25
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. Welcome
1:27
back to another episode of PCW podcast Championship Wrestling. I am your host,
1:33
Wayne's Semi Dry Chicken, and tonight we have another open mic episode. Man,
1:40
I love these open mic episodes because you can just really just cut loose
1:44
and there's no real agenda. We're just talking about all the current news that's
1:48
up in the air right now. Basically, whatever we're getting, we just
1:55
want to discuss it. You know, there's just so much to talk about
1:57
before WrestleMania we got. You know, we're in the teens now of days
2:00
counting down, so we have less than what like two weeks. So I
2:07
just have so much that I got to get off of my chest. These
2:08
guys have so much they want to talk about instead of just filling up our
2:13
discord or talking about on social media. Why don't we just sit down and
2:17
chat. That's what this open MIC's about. So with that, let me
2:22
get this show started and let me bring in the commentators. Hello, Hello,
2:58
Hello, Dre. Welcome back. Yo, Yo, what do do
3:01
pcw crew? Man? Dude, We're so close, so close to restumand
3:07
can you feel it? Do you have your shirts picked out? Do you
3:09
have your outfits? Do you do you know what you're gonna eat when you
3:13
get to the arena? Do you do you are your all planned? Do
3:16
you do you think it's gonna snow? Like? Do you have the proper
3:21
tire picked out you can be comfortable for? Was it five plus hours?
3:28
I mean I hope it damn well doesn't snow because I don't plan on pack
3:31
in a peacoat, so that it other than that I should be I'll be
3:37
fine. I got hoodies, I got jackets, and it's Philly. If
3:42
I need something bigger, I can get something up there. Yeah, true
3:46
man, true, And speaking of Philly, let's bring them all out,
4:21
Doyle, what's up? Man? Oh, it's me, It's me.
4:26
It's the d O Y L E. And Yeah. Walking around Center City
4:30
today saw a couple of WrestleMania banners up. Yeah, it's coming, folks,
4:35
It's coming. So it has begun. Yeah, yeah, it's how
4:43
many days away are we? We're in the teens now, aren't we.
4:46
We're in the teens. Oh my god. Uh yeah, we're looking.
4:50
I mean, Whatsday's Thursday? So less than two weeks? I know,
4:57
yeah, you know you're right, uh, because it's I was sitting at
5:00
lunch today looking at my calendar, just like, I can't believe how close
5:04
we're getting to it. It feels so far away, but it's really not.
5:11
Uh, we're starting to finally pick up here with all these FEUs and
5:15
and starting to fill off the card a little more. Since last time we
5:21
had our episode, I think a few matches have been added to the card,
5:28
something that we've already predicted. Like I think we obviously predicted the USA
5:31
Brothers having a match months months months. What else Scooter and Sammy Zane judgment.
5:44
Oh, the tag team six pack Ladder matches, A bunch of teams
5:47
added to that, So what the hell they're doing with that? I don't
5:55
they have four matches on SmackDown there for a slot, and you had three
6:01
matches and the winners on Raw the three matches, those three winners all got
6:05
a slot, So who gets the other slot? Yeah? I don't disorganized?
6:11
Are there? Are there four more teams? Yeah? Two more teams?
6:15
So so far we have the Judgment Day Finn baland Damian Priest, the
6:19
Undisputed Tag Team Champions defending against d I y J, Johnny Gargano and Tamasa
6:25
Champa versus The Awesome Truth Miss and Our Truth versus The New Day Kofi Kingston
6:32
and Xavier Woods versus two more teams to be determined, which I'm assuming they're
6:38
going to be SmackDown teams. Uh, well, it's it's Legato versus the
6:44
Newcatch Republic, I believe for one of the They haven't said a word about
6:48
the other slots that I put New Catch Republic, Like you know, sometimes
6:54
they'll throw all the losers in a Battle royal or something. Uh. But
6:59
I'm wondering if it's gonna be like a surprise return. I've heard that the
7:02
Area Cardi Boys contracts are coming up. Yeah, let's surprise Hardy return at
7:10
WrestleMania. I hope not, because I think it's time for them both to
7:15
hang it up. Yeah. I think Matt's contract is supposedly either up or
7:20
soon to be up, like very soon within the next two weeks. But
7:25
Jeff, given that he's missed a number a lot of time due to injury,
7:28
I think a lot of people speculated that his contract is probably going to
7:31
be extended or he's gonna have more time added to his contracts, so his
7:35
won't be up in time unless Tony Khan is just nice enough to let him
7:41
out of it and just grant him a release, which is still up in
7:44
the air, which I highly doubt that I would see Tony Khan letting Jeff
7:47
out if there was a real possibility of them then almost immediately showing up at
7:54
WrestleMania of all things. Right, the MotorCity Machine Guns contract na is supposedly
8:01
has come up or comes up any day now. Also, they might,
8:05
I mean I've heard not just a wild speculation on my partner. There's not
8:09
even a rumor that they might be involved in this somehow, but just something
8:13
to keep it in the back of your head made yes, I mean,
8:18
unless they do something with Street Profits and Authors of Pain, unless something comes
8:24
out between them two those are two tag teams that are yeah in the midst
8:28
of their own feud, but seemingly have nothing going into WrestleMania unless they that
8:33
becomes one of the matches. But that doesn't really sound, doesn't really feel
8:37
WrestleMania worthy. I don't think I'm saying their match itself being WrestleMania worth into
8:45
being tag teams to compete for a slot in the six pack Challenge. Sure,
8:50
yes, I'm agreeing with you, just like I would rather see that
8:54
in that capacity. I don't need to see that at WrestleMania, I don't
8:56
think, unless it's one of the pre show things or something like that.
9:01
I think we've got ten matches so far, and I'm expecting four more,
9:09
so maybe seven and seven and maybe one pre show match each night, maybe,
9:15
yeah, really yeah, And it seems like there's a whole lot of
9:20
talent and not a not many spots slots right, Oh dude, that sucks
9:26
though, Like it just the possibility of being left off that card, missing
9:30
out that big paycheck, you know, it just kind of speaks to how
9:33
fucking stacked the roster is right now. Yeah, to wrestleming cards, think
9:41
about who's potentially left out. Dirty Down does not have a match on WrestleMania
9:46
yet. Raymond Sterio doesn't have a match. The Women's Tag Team Champions don't
9:50
have a match. Bianco bell Are probably the biggest name does not have a
9:54
match yet. Like there's a lot of space, that's a lot of names
10:01
fighting for it. Like we said, very few slots. Somebody's gonna get
10:05
left out. Italia is not gonna feel like a Wrestlemandia caliber match. Yeah
10:13
yeah, And I mean speaking of the Women's Tag Team Champions, we still
10:16
don't know what's up with Oscar and her knee or ankle. Oh yeah,
10:20
yeah, Well she hurt her knee on SmackDown last week? Is that that
10:24
was the I mean, that's another one, Like, uh, you know
10:30
I mentioned last episode, uh this this week ago, we saw Naya Jacks
10:35
versus Becky Lynch again and there was a lot of good spots, you know,
10:43
a pretty decent match between the two, but like through the table,
10:48
but yeah, the table spot. Holy I cringed at that because I'm just
10:52
like, oh my god, Like, what if you get fucking hurt,
10:56
Becky, Like what if you get hurt? Naya doesn't have a fucking match
11:00
wrestling, It don't matter. She gets sucking hurt and left off the card.
11:01
But you if you get hurt, you're gonna love You're like, why
11:07
are we seeing you versus Naya again? Like, I don't need to see
11:11
it. I saw it twice already, it was in the past month.
11:16
Just kept with the surgeon if they go for a two for one or something,
11:18
I guess, but like, the risk of injury is there because look
11:22
at now we're dealing with it with Oscar. Now. Granted Oscar doesn't have
11:26
a match at WrestleMania, but she is a champion on the outside of the
11:33
ring. Something like I think that's that wasn't during a match or yeah,
11:39
from a storyline, that could happen to anyone at any time. You know,
11:41
you can cross the street and blow out or a c l especially as
11:45
you get a little older. Believe in me. Everybody happened to somebody in
11:50
the NFL one game they were just going to take the field. Oh yeah,
11:56
happened in the playoffs a cl celebrating. Yeah, Like, it can
12:01
happen to anybody, and it seems random for Oscar. We don't still don't
12:03
know what happened. But back to Becky and Nia Jacks, at least from
12:07
a storyline standpoint, there was a reason for the match because uh Nia Jackson
12:13
is still fresh off of having lost to Ria and still trying to campaign for
12:20
another match with Ria for the title. Becky's the next one in line.
12:24
Nia Jackson and Becky still have unfinished business because, yeah, we've seen the
12:28
match before, but the last time they had the match, Nia jacks won
12:33
knocked her out, yeah clean so and has been beefing with her still since
12:39
then and still talking Maax since then, So they definitely had unfinished business that
12:43
had to be resolved. So the fact that we got that match actually,
12:48
to me, actually felt like it had to happen. It felt necessary because
12:52
Becky had to put that behind her before she can finally move on and give
12:56
her full attention to Rio Ripley. And the fact that they give it to
13:00
us in the form of a last woman's standing match was like a nice bonus
13:05
going into WrestleMania season. I'm kinda yeah, it was a risk to it,
13:07
but I'm kind of glad that they didn't really just play it safe in
13:11
some basic one on one match where she wins. Give us something special,
13:15
give us a reason to tune in, you know, to raw each week
13:18
going into Wrestlemanting season. Keep this momentum that they have going and keep it
13:22
going. Yeah, I mean one of the problems with the road to WrestleMania
13:26
is as exciting as sometimes it can be, it can be boring as fuck
13:31
sometimes because of playing it safe. You know, it's it's sure, it's
13:35
going to be a real fine line, you know between the talent and the
13:39
producers and the bookers of how far do we want to push this right now?
13:43
How much do we want to risk you know, back you getting hurt
13:46
or whoever. You know, you don't see RHA wrestling very much since the
13:52
since the last view, you know. So yeah, I mean, I'm
13:56
glad it's not my decision to have to make. But and I'm glad that
14:00
they took a couple of risks there, because sometimes it can just be treading
14:03
water, you know, Like like we said, we've known this Uzo match
14:05
is coming from months and months. You know, it's like, let's just
14:09
do it. I don't need to I don't need, you know, the
14:11
the sneak attacks, I don't need all that. I don't need the ham
14:15
listed explanation of what Jimmy's doing, the dun doesn't really make any sense.
14:20
You don't need the the black hoodie jumping the barricade every week. Yeah,
14:26
who's that? Oh my god, it's hitty. Yeah. Yeah, they
14:31
don't need much of a build up. Now, there are other views that
14:33
actually could use some help and could use some actual face to face of interaction,
14:37
like you know l A. Knight and AJ Styles. Yeah, you
14:41
almost forget that, You almost forget they have a match coming up because they've
14:46
had little to no interaction with each other before U before that weird promo l
14:50
A. Knight had where he was standing in the in the in the the
14:54
entrance way. Yeah, uh, he hadn't been on he had he had
14:58
been on TV for ninety seconds over the last three weeks before. Yeah,
15:05
last match he had was with a television. Yeah. It just seems like
15:11
closer and closer we get to WrestleMania, guys like LA Knight just get buried
15:15
due to like you know, like the guys like The Rock takes thirty minutes
15:20
out of a two hour show. Speaking of The Rock, I don't think
15:26
it's that big of a coincidence that we haven't seen much from La Knight now
15:30
that The Rock is back more often than not. You know, the big
15:35
knock on La Knight was, oh he's a rock rip off. Now we
15:39
have the real rock. Why would you go see the Kiss cover band when
15:43
Kiss is still playing? You know, I'm wondering if alter his style a
15:48
little bit or something because it's so strange and you have the imitator and then
15:54
the guy that's he's imitating right there, and you know who does the rock
16:00
better these days is up for the big Because I did not love the Rocks
16:04
promo this week. What you didn't like the concert? Yeah, he's like
16:11
he's a fucking he'll be a heel, you know, he's that wasn't at
16:15
the crowd and then like he won't commit all the way, be a fucking
16:19
heel. You know, do that? Do that you can and you can
16:22
still say nice things about you can do that. You know, Memphis,
16:26
this is where I got my start. But you can still do all that
16:29
and then go. But you know, the thing about most love, most
16:33
about Memphis is leaving it. You know, like there's a reason I got
16:37
the fuck out of here. I don't know, I just didn't like the
16:40
winkie and naughty uh with the crowd thing. If you're going to be a
16:44
he'll be a heel. Okay, I get I get what you're saying.
16:47
If you're talking about the concert part of it. Sure, and that part
16:51
he was kind of being more baby face than hell in the concert. After
16:56
the concerts he delivered that was full all heel dre like when he when he
17:03
goes I even saved it as a fucking sound bite when he says this line,
17:10
can I say except your we The way he delivered it, I was
17:18
like, dude, that was badass. I loved it. Yeah, but
17:29
the delivery, I know, I get it. Yeah, everything takes so
17:33
much. It does. It really does for me. Yeah. And then
17:38
he came out we got the whole if you smell thing, but then they
17:41
switched it up to the Hollywood rock theme. So him quoting his own Hollywood
17:45
line like that and doing it is like just such a cold blooded wait that
17:52
just like I said, that's an early candidate for for me. And then
17:56
we get Cody Rhodes's response, Oh, you got a tiny dick syndrome,
18:03
Like Jesus, I'm sorry, like thee try hard no. Yeah, Cody
18:11
came across to me as a guy who knew he got bodied and was just
18:15
trying to hit back by just trying to say the most hardcore stuff he could
18:18
think of. It felt Cody's promo felt out of character to me. It
18:25
was bad. I don't know. It was like you know my mom,
18:33
well I know your mom, and the crowd is like whoa, like what
18:37
why are we owing? I know, why are we owing? Like okay,
18:44
I don't know. And then like it seems like Cody almost cries,
18:47
like in all it is freaking I don't know if it's just it's an act
18:52
Christ Crocodile tears. It seems like he just always wants to cry in all
18:55
his promos now and the Rock has been just like making fun of it the
19:00
whole time, like really leaning into it. Like yeah, as much as
19:08
for as much as Cody is, unquestionably he's the face of the company that
19:11
was going forward. If Cody has one weakness in his game, I think
19:17
it might be cutting cutting promos on the in big moments, he can do
19:25
the he can do the whole week to week thing, go out there,
19:27
say stuff sound good, you know, have the crowd rolling with him.
19:32
But when it's been like the biggest moments, Cody has kind of fallen short
19:37
in terms of standing in the ring with his opponent, because remember last year
19:42
when he was when it was him and Roman in the feud, I thought
19:47
Roman was getting the better of the of Cody on the mic last year in
19:51
the promos, remember when Cody when Cody said when they were first in the
19:55
rain together, and Roman looked at him and said and laid both belts on
19:57
the tide and says, have you you ever wrestled for that? Have comed
20:02
this? Have you ever made afitted wrestling yet? Have you ever even competed
20:07
in a match for that? Like? Roman just owned him on the mic
20:12
enough to make me question whether Cody was actually gonna win. It was he
20:17
was getting on that bad And then now him going back and forth with the
20:19
Rock again, he's just getting bodied and he's just not hitting back on the
20:26
same level. Roman, I think has been the MVP of this whole build.
20:30
Uh he's been by far the most entertaining person on the screen. I
20:36
think. Uh yeah, like like when he when he when The Rock said
20:41
if you smell and he grabbed the microphone and put his you know, like
20:44
that was good ship. You know, Like, uh, he's really he's
20:48
really bringing it. Yeah. Yeah, that moment right there, that was
20:52
probably the best moment we've had in this whole saga so far. Yeah,
20:57
because that was a legit moment where everybody was like, oh shit, yeah,
21:04
and the fact that he just said acknowledge and then like he did it.
21:10
That was definitely oh okay because in that moment where he grabbed the mic,
21:15
we all thought, oh, this could go At least some people thought,
21:21
is this where it goes sideways? So it turns out it didn'tunfortunately,
21:27
But because it's gonna go sideway, it's it's just a matter of when White
21:33
thought that was the moment when it did. So the guys, uh.
21:41
The other night on Amazon, I watched Ricky st Nikki. Have any of
21:47
you guys seen it yet? Noop did? Like, the only reason why
21:53
I bring this up is because, you know, if we bring up any
21:56
movies or TV shows, it's because of a former wrestlers in it, and
22:00
John Cena is in this one. Zach Effron getting to work with the Rock
22:07
on Baywash and now getting to work with John Cena and Ricky Staniki coming right
22:11
off playing Kevin Vughan Eric Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Zach Efron all
22:17
up in the wrestling biz. Uh dude, I know this was funny as
22:21
hell this movie. John Cena playing a great role again and a lot of
22:27
the songs that he sings in in this movie is fucking hilarious. Uh.
22:37
I thought a lot of that was this is funny because John Cena is saying
22:40
it. That's why I thought it was funny. It was just some other
22:44
actor. I don't think so either. I think it's funny because it's John
22:48
Cena. Like that, Like, what would you give it on the like
22:52
the tuppleway of scale or whatever. Well, if we're like, yeah,
22:57
well we'll say we'll say like our rating with with or five stars, I'd
23:02
probably give it like a like a low four, maybe like a solid four
23:08
out of five. I mean, like I enjoyed it like a lot.
23:11
Like I mean, it was kind of a I thought. I didn't think
23:15
it was. It was so slow. It was a slow beginning where it
23:18
was going. Yeah, could they could have shaved fifteen minutes off? I
23:22
acting one easily? I agree, Yeah, they could have shaved some time.
23:26
We almost turned it off until that the brisk really they like, okay,
23:30
maybe like a three and a half because I think and they're kind of
23:33
making me like, oh yeah, okay, so maybe like a three and
23:37
a half, but I still have enjoyed it. I don't know if I'll
23:40
go back and watch it again. Maybe like the highs were really high.
23:42
Some of the ship was fucking hysterically funny. Yeah, yeah, no doubt.
23:48
And I mean I'm a big f Elli brother. It was only one
23:49
for Elli, not the brothers. But I mean I love someone, I
23:53
mean fucking dumb and dumber outside Providence Kingpinking Classics, Yeah, something about Mary
24:03
like just I like, uh, Andrew Santino, but it was just I
24:11
hated the guy. Uh, the guy with the redhead, guy with the
24:18
beard. Well, and I love him. He's awesome. Such a yeah,
24:22
I think I listen. No, I have no reference to him at
24:27
all. Dude, he does. He does a podcast with Bobby Lee from
24:34
Matt TV. It's fucking funny that he just had John Cena on there.
24:41
Yeah. Yeah, what's it called bad Friends? Yeah? Bad Friends?
24:47
Yeah they were there. Yeah, they had John Sena and Zach Gafford on
24:51
their podcast the other day. Uh. And what else did I watch with
24:57
Wrestlering? Oh, for the first time, I've never seen it but I
25:00
watched Milana yesterday, Like I've never seen Mowana, so yesterday yesterday, there
25:11
is it. So the whole what can I say except you're welcome, had
25:15
no nothing, No I knew of it, like I was aware. I
25:18
knew what it meant, you know, I know the song. But then
25:23
here's the thing, is like I didn't know his character is like mwana character
25:30
was a heel. Like I didn't know that until I started watching the movie.
25:34
I was like, oh that it's even more like I'm like the idiot
25:40
standing in my liv room. Oh. Leonardo DiCaprio pointed, yeah, yeah,
25:45
yeah, but like yeah, yeah, I mean like here's the thing.
25:49
It's like I'm not saying like when Mawana came out, it's just you
25:53
know, I just don't have any kids. It's like I just wasn't one
25:56
of those things. I was like I had to go to theaters just see
25:59
mi Wanah. So yeah, I guess like I was going to get to
26:04
it. Yeah, I guess get to it at some point, I guess,
26:08
But like, yeah, Andrews like probably watched Mawana. She's like it's
26:12
really good, and I was like, you know what I did? I
26:15
liked all the singing and whatnot the rock was doing. I like it.
26:19
And then now that I heard there be doing a live action, I was
26:22
like, Oh, that would be cool. That would probably be pretty I
26:26
think I figured it was from one of his movies or something, But I
26:29
think I've only seen a handful of rock movies to be most of them are
26:33
not my type of fair generally. What like The Tooth Fairy I liked.
26:41
I like Walking Tall. I like that one. Oh wait, I'm going
26:44
to look right here because it's been it's been a while. One with Stiffler
26:48
in the Jungle. That one was pretty good. Rundown the Runn I'm looking
26:56
at his filmography here, So like the Rundown came out in two thousand and
26:59
three. He also did Like Walking Tall in the next year. Do you
27:03
guys remember Walking I didn't care for Walking Tall. I thought it was just
27:07
kind of running the mill. The game plan was great. That was a
27:11
great one. Yeah. Yeah. He played the football player who has a
27:18
who's I think it's adopted daughter, but had a daughter that he never knew
27:22
about, and she showed up his place one day and he has a Suddenly
27:29
he had a really good movie. That's the one that kind of as good
27:33
as that movie was, it kind of sort of derailed his career for a
27:37
little bit because that movie was so good and so successful that he went on
27:41
this run of starting of doing like kid Friendly, getting like Tooth Fairy and
27:48
uh Raised Witch mounth or whatever that one was, and the game Plan Dwayne
27:57
the Rock Johnson back then, right, he wasn't Wayne Johnson yet. Yeah,
28:02
so like have no idea he has anything to do with pro wrestling.
28:08
Well, but I think back then, I think it his identity was very
28:11
much still tied to that. Well, let me give you the rundown.
28:14
Like in the game plan came out in two thousand and seven, so you're
28:18
you're right, trace, So like he had like a lull between that,
28:21
so he had the game plan, gets smart, race to which Mountain,
28:26
Planet fifty one, Tooth Fairy, the other guys faster. And then finally
28:34
in twenty eleven is when he played in Fast five and that's when his career
28:40
started to pick up again. Yeah. Yeah, Which some of those some
28:44
of those were just bit roles, like well, Planet fifty one he just
28:47
had a voice acting role, yep. But that was his first bitrole than
28:51
it was Sam Jackson. So he wasn't even in that movie all the way.
28:55
What was the other one? Race to which mountain? Faster tooth fair?
28:57
That one sucked faster are sucked? Sucked? What's the movie? What's
29:03
in the disaster movie? He's in Santareas That Moe is terrible? That Yeah,
29:10
I have about Hercules. I liked him in Hercules. I never saw
29:12
Hercules. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought Hercules is pretty good.
29:18
Yeah not Disney Hercules, but no, no, no, better than that.
29:22
The Arnold towards singer Hercules Hercules in New York it might be probably not
29:30
by much, and they do over his voice. He's like the Hercules Help
29:37
Hercules movie came out around the time that Rock had come back to w W
29:41
for a little bit. Yeah, he was. He was making appearances again
29:45
around that time because I think one time you showed up, Michael cole was
29:48
calling them Hercules because that movie was coming out or about to come out.
29:53
Michael cole Man's obsessed with Antlers. I can't I honestly, I can't wait
30:02
till Michael cole retires. I'm sorry, Like I just I've had it.
30:07
I've had too much. It's not like he was great for a couple of
30:10
weeks in the in the after the first Vince retirement. I remember, in
30:15
fact, in this very on this very podcast, I believe I praised Michael
30:18
Cole. Jesus fucking Christ. Him and fucking Magafee are insufferable. And you
30:26
don't like McAfee the fucking mute button on Andrew doesn't like mgafee either. I
30:33
don't mind McAfee for me, but I would right now. Corey Graves and
30:37
Wade Barrett are probably the better duo right now. Oh yeah, I agree.
30:40
Then fucking Michael Cole and mgafee make make Graves and Barrett look like the
30:48
brain and Gorilla. Yeah, I don't disagree. I like Wade Barrett.
30:55
Yeah, I have not like Corey Graves all that much, but I I
31:00
like him much better with Wade Barrett than I did with Michael Cole. It's
31:03
weird because Graves was always a commentator. Now we see him play by play.
31:07
Yeah, weird, yeah, and I think it. I think it
31:10
works for him though, because him made play by play. He he can
31:12
just stick to calling the action and just all the inserting little bits of you
31:17
know, wrestling, commentary wouldn't need be well, Wade Barrett, who shines
31:22
in that department, can focus on that. It does suck that he's on
31:26
SmackDown, though, because man, freaking what's our boy? Uh? Bronson
31:33
Reid is struggling without Way Barrett there to hit that tsunami for him. Shoe.
31:38
No, man, everybody's getting souked. That made that made that move.
31:47
It's still effective, but neither Pat nor Michael Cole can say it,
31:51
right, Wayne, that was a pretty good Uh, pretty good, Wade
31:56
Barrett, you fucking always my to him. Oh look it's Bianco as fuck.
32:06
Sometimes the way he pronounces certain people, certain wrestler's names strives me nuts
32:12
nuts, But hey, I get it. They probably is probably certain names
32:15
that we pronounced weird, and they're like, you're not pronouncing it right.
32:20
Mhm, it's what? Yeah, Well you know what. Dave a listener
32:28
of our show who's been on our show plenty times. His wife is British.
32:31
She has that thick accent, so you don't speaking Yeah, go for
32:38
it. All the commentators on the other channel, Yeah, all the commentators
32:45
say, say Monet, but Mercedes last night said her own name, and
32:50
she said Mercedes Monday, I was like, I think it's supposed to be
32:53
money, not Monde. All the commentators are still still saying Monet, but
32:59
she said money. Do you think I thought it was Mercedes money. I
33:04
thought that bangs. Man, it makes sense. Do you really think,
33:08
miss Monette, do you really think? Uh? When she's in those aw
33:14
arenas now and she looks out into that crowd and sees that it's not as
33:19
full as the w W crowd is, do you think somewhere in the back
33:23
of that smile, behind that smile, there's maybe a little bit of regret
33:28
If not, I don't think so. Now, it's all about the money,
33:32
huh. Well for that aspect one, Yeah, the fact that she
33:37
you know, did it on her she got that contract. Yeah, and
33:40
she's reportedly the highest paid women's wrestler of all time in any company, right.
33:45
Yeah. That and too, she might be the type who wants the
33:49
challenge and wants to, you know, prove that she does not need w
33:53
w E to be a big name in this business like whether now, granted
33:59
that's not on her hands, obviously, Professional wrestling requires a lot of things,
34:04
a lot of factors for somebody to really get over and do a whole
34:07
lot. But I don't think she's that bothered by it. She you know,
34:12
they talked they were a chance that she could have come back, but
34:15
oh yeah, but I just I just wonder how much she really wanted because
34:21
uh you know, I mean, yeah, I think from like an employer
34:24
point of view, like you know, this person who quit, who just
34:29
walked out in the middle of a contract, just left, uh you know,
34:35
and they now they want to come back, and they're making demands for
34:37
more money. It's like, like, what demands you have? You walked
34:40
out on us, but you know there's a brand new company that you have
34:44
zero history with. So it makes me wonder, you know, what they
34:49
what they offered her, And I mean, congrats to her, but also
34:53
maybe is it full of chave aw to pay what she demanded even it could
34:59
have been maybe, but that's behind closed doors. We don't know how much
35:01
that is. Yeah, I mean all that, yes, Yeah, well,
35:06
I mean I'm sure you we'll find out eventually as far as like whether
35:10
it was worth it or that's to be determined, But ultimately that none of
35:15
that is really Sasha Banks concern. You are. I've been told brillenty of
35:22
times before, and I've heard it said, and it's one of the truest
35:24
things out there. You are worth whatever somebody is willing to pay you.
35:29
Yeah, So if they're willing to pay her that money, that is what
35:32
she's worth. And to anybody out there who has a problem with it,
35:37
oh well deal with it. And she's already given an interview saying, oh
35:40
yeah, I'm gonna go back to WWE eventually, she knows that she has
35:46
her time and her story in WW isn't over. Speaking of returning to WW,
35:52
here's one person who won't be returning to WWE, and that is Ronda
35:58
Rowsey. If you guys have seen her kind of trashing the industry right now,
36:01
saying it's a ship show, WW felt like a casting couch situation.
36:09
She says she will never return and she's like, I don't need WWE.
36:14
I never needed them, and I mean she just really sour. Yeah.
36:21
Yeah. And I just immediately as I was reading this this article, I
36:27
went to the comments and a lot of people are saying what I thought,
36:31
just like, who cares, Like nobody wants to nobody wanted to hear anyway,
36:37
I didn't ask for Ronda Rowsei I didn't. I didn't need Ronda ROWSI.
36:40
I was fine without Ronda Rowsei and like I was, I enjoyed your
36:46
time that was here. But when you left, I didn't cry. I
36:52
didn't I wasn't begging Ronda to stay because I think her last masters was Shana
36:58
Basler, and Shana beat Ronda, and look where that credibility got. Shannon
37:02
Basler match dude, it was dog shit. Match feud was terrible. It
37:12
was way too early, and it's just a lot of things sort of factoring.
37:15
But like, yeah, I mean, I mean, the last few
37:20
times we saw Ronda on TV, she not even as a heel. She
37:23
just got booed like she's just some some WWE fans take it can find some
37:30
you know, these these people who come from the outside and into our company,
37:35
like I see our company because as fans, you know, like in
37:38
our business, and they try to make a living and they try to come
37:43
from a different sport or a different uh I don't know, different aspects of
37:49
life. And you know, we've had all types. We've had singers like
37:52
Bad Bunny, We've had you scoop stars like Logan Paul, and then we've
37:55
had UFC stars like Ronda Rousey, and some of them click, some of
38:02
them don't. And I think the fans just didn't click with Rose. I
38:09
felt like he was different. She superman itis, you know, where like
38:16
Rex Shop to start, and then after they lose, just lose one.
38:22
The magic's over and they just become somebody, you know, they become just
38:25
another rest of it. Uh. And when she came in, she was
38:30
great at first. Yeah, I'm not any of her ring ability. Yeah,
38:37
I mean, think about it. They gave her. She she got
38:38
the WrestleMania time with the Rock. Then before she was even signed. The
38:45
next year, she was with Kurt Angle versus Trips in Stephanie like a huge
38:51
not a main event, but a huge fucking spot, you know. Uh,
38:54
and that match was great. But then yeah, and she came in
38:59
and and was like this unstoppable monster. And then when she finally lost,
39:02
that was it. Yeah. Ever regained uh that status a thom Yeah,
39:08
I mean she she overcame Charlotte. Eventually she overcame Uh, Nikki Bella.
39:15
You know, just a couple of champions at the time, like hurdles along
39:21
her way. Uh. Naya Jacks was another one. Uh, she got
39:24
cashed in on by Live Morgan and Alexa Bliss. I think both of them
39:30
cashed in on Ronda Rousie. I think, uh yeah, it's just weakened
39:36
her more and more, and she was just never she She just couldnot connect
39:40
with fans on the microphone like she was good in the ring. I'll give
39:44
her that, but like when it came to her on the mic, Yeah,
39:47
when she when she's you're absolutely right there when she tried, because there's
39:52
definitely a point in her career where she just stopped giving a fuck, she
39:55
stopped trying. You can almost divide it between her two runs. Her first
40:00
run was good. She was booked strong, she was used somewhat sparingly,
40:07
not she wasn't overexposed, and she looked great. But then when she came
40:10
back in her second run, she didn't come off as she seemed on her
40:15
own end, rather disinterested or not as invested as she has been during her
40:22
first run. She clearly hadn't put in any work in the time out to
40:28
improve her wrestling ability at all. She was still just doing the same stuff
40:32
she was doing before. But again, well, like y'all mentioned, she
40:36
didn't have that aura of evnsibility anymore. So it didn't work the same as
40:40
it did her first run, and she hadn't shown any improvement, and yeah,
40:45
she was still being booked, arguably overbooked to be too dominant when,
40:51
like you said, once that's been broken, you can't contee the book somebody
40:54
like a monster after they've lost. But they brought it back in that second
40:58
run and still tried to occur as this dominant force that nobody can stop.
41:01
And it's like, no, we're not going for that no more. She's
41:05
been stopped. She's just one of the people now, and yeah, that's
41:09
overcomeable. But she couldn't do it right. She couldn't overcome because, yeah,
41:14
she didn't have that investment in it. She seemed disinterested, she seemed
41:16
disconnected. And her second runner, yeah, was a complete bomb. So
41:22
of course nobody's gonna really be clamoring for her to come back now. And
41:25
she probably still has a lot of bitterness over how the fans reacted to her
41:30
her second run. They didn't seem as appreciative or as enthusiastic about her,
41:35
and yeah, I think a lot of I think both people on both sides
41:37
are speaking out of emotion right now. But as we've seen plenty of times
41:43
before in wrestling. Give it time. She consider here and say, now,
41:46
I'll never come back to WWE. Yeah, let's revisit this in four
41:52
or five years and see how you feel that when when people have forgotten about
41:57
you or maybe not or on people's store, have that nostalgia bug that starts
42:01
to hit, and maybe they're open to you coming back making one or two
42:06
appearances here and there. And Vince's memory is more or less gone from WWE,
42:10
were far enough removed from his stuff, and it's pretty much Triple H
42:15
and at this point, at that point, they'll have enough of enough years
42:20
under his belt to have somewhat of a legacy or something that people can look
42:23
for and say like, okay, this is what it is under Triple H
42:27
now and it's well established. Yeah, we'll see how Ronda and other people
42:31
are talking. Like I said, four or five years from now. Yeah,
42:37
those expendables three residuals are gonna dry up someday and should come crawling back
42:45
twitch, which might not be a thing anymore for her to stream on.
42:47
Yeah. Oh gosh, to her defense a little bit, she didn't really
42:59
bad all really of w w E. It was was reserved for Vince John
43:05
Laurnidis and Bruce Pritchard. Everybody else, she seemed to say. She seemed
43:09
to not have any negative words to speak of, like she says she loved
43:14
everybody else, but those three in particular, she did she has no uh,
43:20
nothing good to say about something good to say? Yeah, what's that
43:28
in the w W E? And that would be help was his name?
43:35
Who has taken over for Kevin Dunn doing the producing raw or I think mackdown
43:43
as well. But the production has been great ever since the merger and Kevin
43:46
dunleaving. They've been doing I remember saying it's raw. The program. Program
43:52
is going to start to look a little different. I couldn't tell you how
43:55
or why, but it's going to start to look different. And they did
43:58
a thing Monday that was so fucking cool, uh and I can't recall them
44:04
doing something ever, doing anything quite like it, which was when we followed
44:08
Sammy uh from the ring down the entrance through Gorilla Position to Our Truth and
44:16
the mizz and then we followed them to the It was like this like three
44:21
minute long, continuous like Good Fellas comand yeah, one consecutive shot cool and
44:31
they've been doing ship like that. They've they've they've been coming back from commercial
44:36
with a with a long shot down the entranceway and boom right into the ring.
44:39
It's really fucking cool. And I mean there was a time I stopped
44:45
watching it because of the jump cuts and the shaking the camera and all that
44:49
ship's finally gone. Oh my god. Do you remember when Edge returned to
44:52
the Rumble and the very first spear that he did, they panned away to
44:57
look at the crowd. Yeah, we're getting a lot more crane shots,
45:00
a lot of them overhead shots. It's really cool. They're finally like experimenting
45:07
kind of uh and it kind of reminds me back in in one of the
45:12
documentaries. I want to say it's beyond the mat but I you're wrong,
45:16
where Evince goes, oh, we make movies, you know, and I
45:21
was like, I kind of never understood that. But now they're starting to
45:23
make movies finally, which is kind of cool. Speaking of it, I
45:29
did notice that when they that on Monday, and I was like, huh,
45:32
it was like three minutes a continuous shot. And they're they're like framing
45:39
scenes too, like uh, Like I guess when who who pinned Roman?
45:45
Was a j was a Jay to pin Roman and I believe so, yeah,
45:52
he's the last person Roman sitting pouting on the floor and like the camera
45:55
behind him and panned up to see Jay standing on the top rope or whatever.
46:00
That was cool. Shit. They're starting to like, you know,
46:02
just stuff in the background. You kind of get to watch people's expressions while
46:07
someone else is talking a little more cerebral, maybe find choice of words there,
46:15
sir. Uh no, dude, you're right, it's it's it's slowly
46:19
coming around. We're slowly seeing more and more of this. I mean this
46:22
is gonna be uh, you know, as a fan going to see an
46:28
event, I'm interested to see how like the Titan Tron is for us,
46:31
Like what do they show us more of? Uh? The the the lighting
46:38
is a big one. We discussed this before, but I'm excited to see
46:40
what the lighting is gonna be. Like, are they planning on blinding us
46:44
for did I just pay a lot of money for tickets to be blinded for
46:47
eight hours? You know we'll see, uh But yeah, I mean we've
46:57
had we've gone to events before where like the whole fucking time of being blinded
47:01
Uh, but now that small stuff that's changed. Oh, did you guys
47:09
see that they're that they're trying to like slowly reverse a bunch of things with
47:15
Brocklesner. I mean, it seems like he may not be in as much
47:20
trouble as we thought he was. And uh, you know they were so
47:25
quick to as rightfully, so they were so quick to react, you know,
47:30
pulling him off of so much stuff. Like they were trying to trying
47:35
to raise him from the game, the video game altogether. They couldn't to
47:37
the point where it's like, you know, you can wrestle brock Lesner,
47:42
but you can't wrestle as brock Lesner, and blurring him out of things and
47:47
taking him out of the opening of the the WWE opening towards the show.
47:53
Uh, but yeah, it seems like they're they're at that point where you
47:59
know, it made he made not being as much trouble as I thought he
48:00
was, and they're trying to reverse a bunch of things. But it's kind
48:04
of too late for for anything to happen at WrestleMania, which kind of sucks.
48:09
It's like we're at the point of no return. We we we were
48:14
expecting Gunther versus broad Lessenar. That was God. I was hoping for that
48:20
match so bad because you know we were gonna be there for it. But
48:25
you know, we're not. We're not getting that. We're getting sammys Ain
48:30
and Goonther, which is weird because you know the popularity of sammys Ain maybe
48:38
like a year a year ago, a year ago. Yeah, it was
48:43
just crazy off the charts, you know, especially uh the beginning of last
48:47
year, you know the chain when he had his title shotting against Rooman for
48:52
the at the Chamber. Just you know, it's crazy to think how high
48:57
as popularity was. Now, oh he had a title shot and the fans
49:04
it's just a little a little pissy about it. They kinda aren't happy about
49:09
it with Sammy, And it's just crazy how just a year too late pulling
49:15
the trigger with a lot of things. I felt like we had that we
49:21
had that one time with Roman Reigns winning the Royal Rumble. You know,
49:28
he won the Rumble one year and I remember the Rock holding his hand up
49:30
at the Rumble and us, yeah, us fans just not no, we
49:36
just weren't buying it. But the year before that, he uh, I
49:42
think that's I can't recall who won the year before that is either like ah,
49:47
was it like Batista maybe something like that, But everybody wanted Roman to
49:52
win that year and it just didn't happen. And then when they finally pulled
49:57
the trigger a year later, the fans were just no, like you had
50:01
your chance last year and uh, like do you think we'll get that with
50:07
Cody? Like you know we we had we saw this match last year.
50:10
We saw Cody Rhodes versus Roman reigns last year. We're basically getting a fucking
50:15
rematch, you know something we've already seen. Like does it get to the
50:21
point where where we've wake we wake up, guys and we see that there
50:25
are Cody cry babies. That's a real thing, Like like this is the
50:32
the energy you had, the being behind Cody? Is that gone now?
50:37
Like are you just are you slowly? Like the every time I hear Cody
50:43
Roads come out and say, what do you guys want to talk about?
50:45
The my my one finger in the air acknowledging the tribal chief just goes higher
50:52
every fucking week. I mean, is that is that how you guys are
50:54
feeling? Are you guys getting kind of exhausted this story. I have never
51:01
been a huge Cody fan, but I will say this, Yeah, like
51:07
sometimes they wait, they wait too long to pull the trigger, and when
51:12
they finally do, it's too late. Uh. And we had lots of
51:15
discussions, I guess about this time last year about are they have they blown
51:21
it with Cody by not having him win last year? Right? And there
51:25
was a very real possibility that he could have just fizzled after that, but
51:30
he has not. In fact, he's much more popular, I would,
51:34
I would argue going into this year than last year. And while it is
51:37
a rematch per se, uh, I think it's going to be different enough
51:43
that it's not going to be I feel like a rerun, you know,
51:46
because I you know, you know, we'll get into it when we preview
51:50
the card. But does anybody think that Cody and Seth are winning on Night
51:53
one? No? I don't think. No. So this is going to
51:58
be a bloodline rules match whatever that means. Uh So. I think this
52:04
is gonna be like the last scene of fucking Endgame where everybody and their brother
52:07
is uh involved? Literally, so your brother uh music hit there in that
52:14
Maine event we even lose it, it's gonna be different enough that it's not
52:20
gonna feel like, oh, we just saw this last year. You know,
52:22
even though we just saw this last year. Just wait for what I
52:29
tell you. Cody and Roam and both laid out also year. You look
52:32
Flad today. What if we hear glass break? Oh dude, I thought
52:40
of that too, I've heard I trust me it would be. But like,
52:45
could you imagine, like who who is like the one of the Rock's
52:50
greatest rivals of all time. It's stone cold Steve Austin. Like I get
52:57
it, but given that he has had zero obviously would we would pop because
53:04
of fucking stone cold Steve Boston. But if anybody, if anybody should jump,
53:08
should have that kind of moment, it should be triple h just because
53:13
they've all them to have already exchanged the little bars back and forth. And
53:16
also but the it from no, no, no, he doesn't have to.
53:22
Yeah, he can't do like a whole match, but I think he's
53:23
got like a sledge hammer shot left in him or a pedigree left in him.
53:30
I don't want now that being said, I don't want that to happen.
53:34
But if if we're gonna go just completely left field and just you know,
53:37
throw throw everything against the wall. Then yeah, throw triple age against
53:42
the wall. Not stone cold, but granted, like I said, I
53:45
don't think that's gonna happen at all. Now, back to the subject of
53:49
waiting too long for things, you touched on two different feuds in that point,
53:52
so the whole Sammy's Anything and Gunter. I think we talked about that
53:59
in the last episode. And as far as like people's reaction to Sammy,
54:02
I don't think it's a case of them waiting too long to pull the trigger
54:07
on someone like Sammy's A. I just think it's a case of people wanted
54:12
Chad Gable in that spot. Like I said in the last episode when we
54:17
talked about it, Chad Gable had the story, but Sammy's Ain has the
54:22
bigger name, and it feels like, WWE's gone with the bigger name in
54:27
this case a better story, And I think that's where the backlash is coming
54:31
at. In regards to that one. I don't think people have suddenly turned
54:36
on Sammy's Ain and some people suddenly hate samyse that. I think it's just
54:39
one of those cases where we love you sammy'se A, we like you,
54:43
We just did not want this for you. Wanted this for Chad, not
54:46
you. But well, I think if Chad doesn't straight up get added to
54:51
the match somehow, is at least involved in the build. I don't know
54:54
if he's gonna coach Sammy or something like that, but you know, he
55:00
it's not like he's uh nowhere to be found. I mean, he's still
55:04
front and center, and he's still that's not what people want. People want
55:09
him in the match. They want him to be the one to potentially end
55:15
Gunter's title reign. And yes, Sam he saying, yeah, he cut
55:17
that little that promo about you know, I just ended the longest last year's
55:22
restume, I ended the longest tag team title reign ever or what have you,
55:27
and this year I'm gonna end the longest intercontinental title reign. Like that.
55:30
To me, that almost felt like a it felt like assault in the
55:35
womb type moment, because like, yeah, not only is it the possibility
55:39
of you, of you taking this moment from Chaz, from from Chad Gable
55:44
being in this match and taking that intercondental title opportunity away from him, you're
55:47
also taking that potential accolade, that potential you know, career not maybe not
55:53
career defining, but career jump starting accolade from him that Chad Gable could rely
55:59
on, could used to really take his career to the next level. Look,
56:02
I'm the guy who ended the longest intercontinental title reign. Yeah, if
56:07
they if that goes to Sammy. Yeah, Again, not to dwell on
56:12
that too much because again we talked about the last episode. Yeah, I
56:15
just don't like that, And that's not what I wanted for Chad Gable.
56:17
Like I said, I wanted that, I mean not what I wanted for
56:20
Sammy's Ain. That to me, that the storyline and everything, and I
56:23
think where most people were at is they wanted that for Chad Gable. Sammy's
56:28
Ain doesn't really need it at all. But getting to the other part of
56:35
the waiting too long thing, as far as Cody is concerned, I'm in
56:38
agreement with you on that one, Doyle. I don't think this is a
56:40
case of waiting too long for that because even though it is the same match,
56:45
it still feels very different from last year. Oh yeah, last year
56:50
it ate the right call, not pulling the trigger last year. Wait yeah,
56:52
yeah, I've come around on that point. Like last year, it
56:54
was just a case of Cody having although momentum, having come back from end,
57:00
he came back from injury at the Rumble, had all the momentum,
57:02
got the win, rode that momentum all the way into wrestlmedia, and people
57:07
were just expecting him to just ride that momentum wave all the way to the
57:12
title because we've seen it done plenty of times before. We've seen it done
57:15
with Triple Ah, we've seen it done with John Cena, We've seen it
57:17
done with other people. So you know, that's what people were expecting,
57:23
whereas now it feels it's a whole Yeah, it's a whole different world.
57:29
He's had a whole year where he's existed as the face of the company more
57:36
or less, even though he's not the champion. He's been the top baby
57:38
face. He's been the high guy. He's been the guy getting the big
57:42
pops. He's been the one in the premiere feuse, he's been what everybody
57:45
thinks l A. Knight is right. Yeah, well, you know,
57:49
we just don't know what We don't know yet because it's you know, Vince
57:53
is gone. It's the Hunter Herts Helmsley show now, you know. So
57:58
you know, Vince, you know, had kind of had patterns and predictability,
58:02
you know, and although Hunter has some of that a little bit,
58:07
we still I mean, he's still gonna hopefully throw us fucking curveballs all the
58:12
time. You know, that remains to be seen, but it's not as
58:16
formulaic as the Vince stuff was getting exactly. Yeah, and now as far
58:23
as what happens afterwards, you know, if you roll with the assumption that
58:28
Cody wins at WrestleMania and becomes a w W champion, what happens afterwards is
58:34
tbd. Fans could turn on him as when he becomes champion, if his
58:38
championship brain ends up being a little bit dry or dull or lackluster, or
58:43
if he becomes a champion and has you know, title defenses as infrequently as
58:50
some of our champions now do, like Rhea and Logan and you know others,
58:55
and if he's not a defending champion, a fighting champion, then yeah,
59:00
fans could end up turning on him, and he could end up you
59:05
know, either being having to turn hill or having to drop the title.
59:07
All that is still to be determined, but as of right now, he
59:13
is that guy. He is at the top. He's the face of the
59:16
company, you know, excluding Roman reigns. Of course, I think it's
59:22
almost an impossibility that the fans don't end up turning on him. Now,
59:24
when is it gonna happen, I'm not too sure. Uh might it might
59:30
be a month, it might be three years. Now it'll be at wrestle
59:35
We're gonna and us, we're gonna do it ourselves. We're gonna turn on
59:38
him. We're gonna do it at WrestleMania. In this day and age,
59:44
I don't think anybody is immune from the wrath of the fans. Aint no
59:49
Ricky steinbolts or stings in this generation. The closest comparison probably a Sina right,
59:54
And and he had you know, maybe two maybe three years where he
1:00:00
was a babyface and everyone cheered up and then not it. It wasn't very
1:00:05
long before it was let's go see seeing that sucks, but you know,
1:00:08
and it was the adults. But when him and the kids still like him.
1:00:12
But you know, the scene of wins we riot, you know,
1:00:15
uh, which would have been unthinkable two years before that, you know.
1:00:21
And I think the same thing is gonna happen to Cody just how and why
1:00:24
and when is what? It remains to be seen. Oh yeah, almost
1:00:29
certainly, especially if if there's a new hotness on the horizon, that new
1:00:34
person that everybody wants to see be the top guy. Yeah, and Cody
1:00:37
is the guy that's in their way. Oh yeah, fans can turn real
1:00:42
quick. Yep. I mean I think that Summer slams to me very interesting.
1:00:51
You know a lot of people coming back from injuries. I'm excited to
1:00:54
see see him Punk come back hopefully. You know, I rolled my eyes
1:00:58
when I say that, because because you know, it's just a few months
1:01:01
ago he came back is once to the rumble and now he's on the fucking
1:01:07
injured roster. Fuck that's brutal, man. It's it's always coming back.
1:01:14
Yeah, I know. And I'm like still thinking, you know, because
1:01:20
I'm going to the raw after Mania, like who we could see come back?
1:01:23
Still? And the only the only person I can really think of of
1:01:29
a pop worthy of a pop is probably Alexa Bliss. I I really can't
1:01:35
put my finger on anybody who would bron Strowman, I don't know, like
1:01:43
the car, yeah, but I'm talking like coming back from an injury.
1:01:49
But yeah, speaking of uh, I mean like coming backwards. Yeah,
1:01:55
I think Jay Cargill would get more of a reaction than Alexa Bliss. No
1:01:59
offense to Lexa Bliss, but I think she would come back and she might
1:02:02
get a modest pop. Yeah. I just couldn't. It's like, you
1:02:08
know, earth shattering. Yeah, I just couldn't think of who would be
1:02:14
coming back, you know, because we're not the biggest one I could think
1:02:19
of, but we're not getting it is big. Yeah, I don't honestly,
1:02:23
if there was a year to not expect some big comeback or something,
1:02:29
some post WrestleMania come back, this might be the year, because yeah,
1:02:31
there really isn't anybody on that I can think of, Just like, yeah,
1:02:37
I can't think of anybody that's a big enough name that's primed for a
1:02:44
comeback that could really be impactful. Lean towards Jade Cargill. If we're gonna
1:02:55
get any big post WrestleMania name, I could see that her being it in
1:03:00
what capacity CBD? But I could see you know, Ria Ripley coming out
1:03:06
of WrestleMania victorious, having beat Becky Lynch. She in the ring gloating talking
1:03:12
her ship, and then Jaye Gargill steps up. Yeah, dude, how
1:03:16
how have Like she's debuted at the Rumble, but yet still has nothing books
1:03:21
since the Rumble, Like no promos, no, no matches on SmackDown,
1:03:29
no or Raw no nothing like. I mean, she's she's they've been had
1:03:35
a couple of skits with her. Somebody, you know, the GM is
1:03:38
trying to sign or yeah, I understand that, but like, is it
1:03:44
the only My only guess is like listen, like just tread water until after
1:03:50
WrestleMania and then we have stuff for you, because it's like, listen,
1:03:55
like we have all this ship on our plate and we just don't have really
1:04:01
the space on the card to build a new wrestler for a match. I
1:04:05
probably that's probably what it is. It's like creatively, it's just like,
1:04:09
listen, we just don't have the space. Wrestle is already two fucking nights
1:04:14
in a row. So for somebody like her, I think they can make
1:04:19
the space. You can find it for I think it's more of the case
1:04:25
of we don't need you yet. We've got enough to put on a you
1:04:30
know, an excellent WrestleMania. We don't need You're not that, you know,
1:04:35
in case of emergency break last type of uh uh talent yet, So
1:04:42
rather than we'll we'll bring you in for the rumble, let you have this
1:04:45
moment, let you look good that way, people don't completely forget about you,
1:04:50
and then after that we'll let you go back to the PC, keep
1:04:56
working, keep getting better, keep improving hopefully in that and then after WrestleMania,
1:05:02
we'll bring you in and hit the ground running and go from there.
1:05:05
Rather than trying to like have her after WrestleMania, put her in some sort
1:05:10
of program and try to force something going into WrestleMania, or try to do
1:05:15
something that maybe not that's certainly not needed. Why do that when you can
1:05:23
buy when you can give her more time and like I said, let her
1:05:26
keep working and improving. Why they're so why they're so protective of her?
1:05:34
For Maxine Dupre out there, who's had about eight matches total, it's just
1:05:41
a botch machine is getting like uh bullied so bad on the internet that they
1:05:46
turn it into an actual ankle. Maybe she's like an amazing wrestler, but
1:05:53
her gimmick is to be a terrible wrestler. No, no, no,
1:05:59
that's that's exactly what it is. Like we've seen Jake and and she's not
1:06:04
you know, Ricky the Dragon steamboat, but she's not. She's definitely,
1:06:11
at the at the very least serviceable. And it's like, why are we
1:06:16
so kid gloves with with her? But we're throwing this other girl who's green
1:06:23
as grass, you know, Like there's I'm sure there's everyone on the NXT
1:06:28
roster has had more matches than she has, you know, And I don't
1:06:32
know why we have to keep throwing her out there to the wolves. Uh,
1:06:36
but where we've got, yeah, j Cargo in a in a glass
1:06:41
box, you know, waiting for an emergency. Because as much as it
1:06:45
kind of sucks to say this, I think they're more invested in j cargileh
1:06:50
because therefore, because of that there they have more incentive to get her right
1:06:56
and Jake Cargile she already has. I think they're they're they're not naive.
1:07:01
They're aware of the discussion around j car Gill coming into w W and it
1:07:08
was about her wrestling talent. Because of the investment they have in her,
1:07:13
that that's why they're gonna be way more cautious because they don't want to put
1:07:16
her out there and she's not ready, and she's not you know, in
1:07:20
a position to work well and be good on her own, and then all
1:07:25
they end up doing is just reinforcing that narrative that's already existing, because then
1:07:29
it makes her, It makes her, you know, that that hill she
1:07:31
has to climb just that much higher and that much steeper for j Cargill,
1:07:36
for someone that again, they're much more invested in Maxine Duprix. On the
1:07:41
other hand, they're not as invested in, you know, And I say
1:07:45
that when I say invested in, I'm pretty much speaking monetarily. So I'm
1:07:49
pretty sure J Carville hasn't much larger contract multiple multiple times, right, many
1:07:55
times over. Plus, Vaccine Duprix is already has already existed as on air
1:08:00
personality within the company. She's somebody that were already used to seeing on team.
1:08:06
She sucks, and then they threw her in the thing with Alpha Academy,
1:08:11
which is already kind of this gimmick of trainers quote unquote, like we're
1:08:15
these guys that we're training people, so then she fits in with that.
1:08:19
So putting her in matches initially was just a natural progression of that, Like,
1:08:26
oh, she's been training with Alpha Academy. Yeah, here's her going
1:08:30
out there and having her first matches. I don't think they expected that people
1:08:33
were going to react so viscerally to her, you know, her lack of
1:08:39
ring ability. I think they may have thought that people were gonna like understand
1:08:43
it and get it that, hey, she is supposed to be new.
1:08:46
She's supposed to not be all that great. That is the story. That
1:08:50
is the gimmick, even if it is a bit it is, you know,
1:08:56
k fabe and reality simultaneously that yes, she's not that great, and
1:09:00
y'all are supposed to follow along with her as she presumably gets better over time.
1:09:05
They probably just didn't expect that people were gonna look at her and think,
1:09:10
you know, and honestly, this one is kind of on the fans.
1:09:13
Definitely on the fans for you know, the bullying and shit online now
1:09:15
that's just completely uncalled for and fucking childish and people need to grow to fuck
1:09:19
up about that. But they were expect They weren't expecting that people were gonna
1:09:24
look at this person who was very obviously green and should have been seen that
1:09:29
way. They weren't expecting fans to look at her and imagine, expect her
1:09:32
to be a professional on the level of the other ones who are wrestlers and
1:09:38
have been wrestling for a period of time before this. I think WW expected
1:09:43
the fans to get it, and we're probably surprised a little bit by the
1:09:45
fact that they didn't get it, quote unquote, and now we're having to
1:09:48
pivot that storyline a little bit and kind of use what the fans are,
1:09:55
how the fans are reacting, and kind of integrate that into the storyline.
1:09:58
That part probably wasn't part of the lamp. That's just them reacting in real
1:10:01
time. A nice little side effect is that I fucking love healed caniell Ray
1:10:10
and like face Indie Heartwell, who's confused as all. Fuck yeah, her
1:10:17
biggest strength, I think is that that face. That's a bit of a
1:10:23
side blessing to this is that, yeah, out of all this, yeah,
1:10:26
something from characters who have really just been there just tread and water yep,
1:10:32
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Props to them for, you
1:10:36
know, turning some ship into a little bit of sugar. So that's all
1:10:42
I got for like news wise, but I wanted to for the last bit
1:10:45
here the show, I went to, you know, kind of keep fans
1:10:50
updated of like what we're doing wrestle Media Weekend. Doyle like like, uh,
1:11:00
you're you're the man, You're the local man. Has anything changed?
1:11:03
Like what do you still planning on doing like Friday, Thursday, Friday and
1:11:10
then maybe going into into WrestleMania. Like in the morning, it's like,
1:11:14
what are you anything new on the agenda on the atinerary besides uh showing Carlos
1:11:21
and uh Dre around a little bit. I don't know that we really have
1:11:25
much of anything. On Thursday, Blue Meanie's having a party and I was
1:11:30
thinking about going to that Blue Meanie. Mostly the reason I'm not doing anything
1:11:39
is because there's there's there's so much ship, Like I feel like if I
1:11:44
do all of it, I'll be by the time wressele Meania comes around,
1:11:46
I'll be like yeah and watch any more wrestling right now. That's That's how
1:11:50
I feel. Yep. Yeah. So so Friday, we're definitely gonna do
1:11:56
Wrestle Cohn and then maybe the World Old I think after that the ww Exhibit,
1:12:02
whatever the fuck it is, and then Drey and I are gonna go
1:12:06
to a show at the E c W Arena that night, and then Saturday
1:12:12
it's just gonna be kinda probably wrestle on again. Anybody that I wanted that
1:12:16
I didn't get the night before the day before, and then fucking WrestleMania.
1:12:23
Uh uh Sunday. I think I'm gonna do nothing until the show. Yeah,
1:12:29
I might watch. I might watch Night one. I guess I got
1:12:31
to figure out where I'm gonna watch smack Down in there at some point.
1:12:38
Not that anything really I expect much to happen on the Go Home Show,
1:12:42
but yeah, I'm not really Yeah, that Friday, I don't really care
1:12:45
for a SmackDown, but I do want to see the Hall of Fame,
1:12:47
so I'll probably to watch that, like I don't know, maybe that Saturday
1:12:51
morning or something. Yeah, ship, you know, I just have everybody
1:12:56
come to my place Sunday. Well, I'll watch him on Sunday. Yeah.
1:13:01
Well, well, yeah, I got the same feeling you do,
1:13:05
Doyle, Like I don't want to get quote unquote U wrestled out. I
1:13:11
don't. Yeah, I don't want to get wrestled out because we do we
1:13:14
have within that week even as it let's say like we weren't even going to
1:13:19
WrestleMania and you're just home watching it you have so much wrestling on TV to
1:13:26
watch between the Hall of Fame, SmackDown, NXT and what other so much.
1:13:35
And what I also I think is like other shows like Impact Wrestling and
1:13:41
AW, they kind of would be like during that week, I feel like,
1:13:45
stepping their game up those last days before and after WrestleMania, so kind
1:13:53
of getting their ratings up pretty high. So everybody should want AW to get
1:14:00
hitting to do well. I mean, yeah, as wrestling fans, you
1:14:02
know, you think about For me anyway, and maybe for you guys,
1:14:06
the Attitude era was the best. You look back at it now and some
1:14:10
of it's pretty stupid, But at the time, why because they had w
1:14:14
c W right up there, ass know what I mean, and it made
1:14:17
them yeah and ye both to We probably don't get the Attitude Era if it's
1:14:26
not for w CW kicking ww's ass for however many weeks in a row that
1:14:30
they did that, like over a year straight. Brett doesn't leave the way
1:14:33
he left, you know, Yeah, none of that might have ever happened.
1:14:36
We might never have had Stone Cold, who knows. But yeah,
1:14:42
I mean, the better AEW does, it pushes WWE to do. I
1:14:45
mean, I would argue that they, you know, a w is what
1:14:47
five or six years old now, I would I would the quality of WWE
1:14:53
programming has risen precipitously in the that four or five years, I would say,
1:15:00
because Yeah, like I said earlier, like I was kind of stopping
1:15:02
watching ww around the time AW started because I just couldn't fucking take the camera
1:15:09
shaking and the constant cut cut, cut, cut cut, you know,
1:15:13
just the presentation was just so fucking horrible. But yeah, they really turn
1:15:17
it around. Yeah. What about the Thunderdome days. Man, the Thunderdome.
1:15:23
I was there for the hard times. Man, the Thunderdome Days.
1:15:28
I was there for the thunder the performance center of WrestleMania. Yeah, that
1:15:32
stuff was so weird, like wrestling without a crowd. It was weird.
1:15:36
Yeah, that's why I like it. Drew winning the world title this year,
1:15:40
it would mean so much to him in front of a crowd. Granted
1:15:44
he is the healed going into this, but at the end of the day,
1:15:47
it's gonna mean so much to that guy. Oh, he's doing some
1:15:50
of the best work of his career. Yeah, and you know, we
1:15:55
think about it as much as we've been talking about people pop turning on Cody
1:16:00
and Cody having to be forced into a hill position. We haven't talked about
1:16:04
the opposite effects of it of you know, could Drew's heel work be so
1:16:10
good that he inadvertently becomes a face again? Yeah, it's supposed to be.
1:16:15
Obviously, he's been a face for a long time and is now turning
1:16:18
or in the midst of a he'll run because his heel work be so damn
1:16:21
good that it ends up pulling him back into being a babyface. Uh And
1:16:30
now, as all the best bad guys are, it's kind of right.
1:16:34
You know. The way he goes about it is wrong, but his basic,
1:16:39
basic idea or premise or whatever, he's pretty much right, you know.
1:16:44
Yeah, And a lot of the best babyfaces were heelsat they were just
1:16:50
so damn good at being a heel that people loved, loved him enough that
1:16:55
it became babyface. Stone Coast, Eve Woston was a heel, The Rock,
1:17:00
What's a Hell, The Game's a hell. Everybody was just like,
1:17:04
they're so damn good at being that that we actually like it. Now,
1:17:12
that very well could possibly happen for Drew. Any any other plans you have
1:17:20
for wrestling any weekend. Anything's changed this last episode, nothing really changed as
1:17:26
much. I mean, I'm still getting in probably a day too early,
1:17:29
and you know, I think I'm planning on uh that Wednesday, checking out
1:17:32
that uh that's the what's that wrestling store? You I want to check that
1:17:41
out Wednesday, see what's up with that. And then Thursday, Thursday will
1:17:47
probably do I'll probably do some wrestle kan stuff. I need to still see
1:17:51
if there's still tickets available for that sting Q and a Thursday night, and
1:17:56
then uh, Friday, Yeah, probably do some wrestle king stuff during the
1:18:01
day, hit the uh, and then we'll hit world at Wrestlemingia in the
1:18:05
afternoon because I got tickets for that for the It's gonna be a long day.
1:18:10
Friday's gonna be the long day. And then yeah, then that night,
1:18:13
well, yeah, we endu all the doing the ECW show yep.
1:18:16
And then after that when that's over, which I'm assuming we'll probably be sometime
1:18:20
pretty late. Then Saturday, probably just be out and about in the area,
1:18:28
kill time till it's time to go to the stadium for WrestleMania, which
1:18:34
I don't know, haven't decided what time I want to try to be there
1:18:39
thinking because I'm thinking it might be I don't know if it would be good
1:18:45
to get there a little bit early. Obviously, the lines are gonna be
1:18:46
a motherfucker. I don't think there's any avoiding that unless you camp outside the
1:18:49
damn link. I don't think there's any avoiding the long line getting into the
1:18:55
stadium. But I don't think it'll be too too bad. I mean,
1:18:58
they do that, that's what they do. It's move massive amounts of people
1:19:00
in the sure, so they'll be pretty efficient. I mean, just it's
1:19:03
just gonna be a long, live period. I'm not saying it's gonna be
1:19:06
like for like an hour. Concession line is going to be long. And
1:19:13
that's why I was gonna suggest may probably both days we eat something right before
1:19:17
we go in. Yeah, well we pregame in the parking lot again,
1:19:21
all right? Getting peace up or what the parking lot situation is going to
1:19:25
be? Like, it's not bad, it's it's yeah, it's not bad,
1:19:30
just like the whole tailgate situation, Like the fans outside beforehand, what's
1:19:33
there's some kinds of Oh yeah, there's merchants and stuff. Oh yeah,
1:19:40
there's so much. There's one that Rick Flair is going to be at.
1:19:43
Ye, there's a bunch of them. Yeah, So like, I mean,
1:19:46
I'm down to get there pretty early to tailgate due to uh like no,
1:19:54
me and Doyle know like the places to park, so like when it
1:19:58
is time to leave, it's like, hey, we're like the first one's
1:20:00
out of here because of where we parks. Like, I'm down that's worth
1:20:04
the tailgating for me. But I also took off the two days after,
1:20:11
so I'm I won't be in a huge rush to go home and have to
1:20:15
like I gotta go to bed because I gotta be up at three point thirty
1:20:17
in the morning. No, I'll be selling you. Yeah, I'm flying
1:20:24
back that Monday, and I'm scheduled off that Tuesday. So yeah, my
1:20:28
recovery in Yeah, my recovery day is Tuesday as well. And then you
1:20:33
know what sucks is like after after we we do all that, Guys,
1:20:39
after we do all that, we finally get home, everybody's home unpacked,
1:20:44
just taking a deep breath and relaxing and then realizing we have to do a
1:20:50
two part episode. Man, but I I do want to take I have
1:20:59
a little tiny microphone that I showed you guys. I want to go around.
1:21:02
I want to give interviews to people, little sound bite, those soundclips
1:21:06
of just basically how you guys are feeling in that moment, Like you know,
1:21:12
I know there are some other people who are listening to the podcast,
1:21:15
like Dwayne, like Dave, Me and Dave are going to rawl afterwards.
1:21:21
I know Dwayne's gonna be at Monday Night Raw. He's also going to be
1:21:25
at WrestleMania, but we're sitting in different areas. So I want to find
1:21:29
people throughout the night and I just want to see what your energy's like,
1:21:32
how are you feeling like you know, this is a long show. I
1:21:39
mean, if you're gonna be there for the kickoff show and stuff, they're
1:21:41
talking like five o'clock is the kickoff show, maybe five point thirty, so
1:21:45
you're talking six seven, maybe even eight hours being there. And the energy
1:21:53
that that WWE expects you, the level they expect you to be throughout the
1:21:57
entire night isn't what they what they get. So you know the beginning of
1:22:03
the night, everybody's gonna have that high energy, everybody's gonna be hyped.
1:22:09
We'll see how some of you guys are feeling in the middle of the night.
1:22:11
May sorry, maybe you know, I can see Doyle having the hell
1:22:16
having a hell of a time early in the night, and then like you
1:22:19
know, we get to the mid card and Doyle's just dragging ass because the
1:22:24
night's just dragging ass. You know, Drake could be miserable the whole fucking
1:22:29
night. I don't know. I you know, who knows. You could
1:22:33
be uncomfortable in your seat the whole night, or they could be like a
1:22:35
really fat guy sitting in front of you the whole night you can't see anything,
1:22:40
or some kid with a sign with a sign the whole night he can't
1:22:44
see shit. I don't know. Or we might have lights shining in our
1:22:47
face the whole time. I don't know. I kind of want to get
1:22:53
everybody's vibes throughout the night, and I'll play some here on the podcast.
1:22:58
You know, when we'll have a you uh, it'll be different the review.
1:23:02
I think this year a lot different than last year's because definitely it's gonna
1:23:11
be yeah and watching it yeah, And you're right though, I agree with
1:23:15
you guys. We have I have to go home and watch it again because
1:23:19
we're not gonna have commentary teams. We're going to be missing stuff. We're
1:23:24
gonna be going to the bathroom, We're going to be distracted by other things.
1:23:29
We're just we're gonna be waiting in line for twenty five minutes for a
1:23:32
fucking hot dog. You know, we got to get ourselves an eight dollars
1:23:35
beer that's gonna probably take forty five minutes to get, you know. So
1:23:40
we're gonna have other shit to do. So we're not gonna be there for
1:23:43
every single moment, but we promise we will be there for the ones that
1:23:47
matter. Uh, you know, I'm hoping we get something during the halftime
1:23:54
show. I don't know what. I don't know if we're gonna have performance
1:23:57
by the weekend or I don't know, fuck celebrity spot. I don't know.
1:24:01
Whatever we get, I hope it's good. I have heard a rumor,
1:24:05
let's hear it, there's a possibility of the band that does Cody's song
1:24:13
performed to perform him out to the ring. Yeah, I heard that.
1:24:17
Yeah, I think that's I think there was an interview with the lead singer
1:24:20
and he said they're gonna be in Philadelphia that weekend. Oh dude. That
1:24:26

1:28:15

1:28:21
you welcome to the top and Owen show. Lately he just hasn't been Harry
1:28:30

1:29:04
The Rocket is gonna come laying the smack eth down on your blonde Cody ass
1:29:13
and your best friend, the clown. I'm gonna whoop that ass and break
1:29:19
your back, or maybe I'll just beat you with my fanny back. It's
1:29:30
gonna be so much drama. You'll truly have no choice but cry to your
1:29:39
mama. Ah, you know who the rock is talking about, Mama Rhoades.
1:29:47
Cody roases Mama rockets of Mama's boy. We got a lot of Mama's
1:29:55
boys out there. Oh yeah, you boys and Mama's boys. You know.
1:30:02
Well, here's a little story about how Cody was born. This is
1:30:08
historically accurate, as all of the Rock stories are historically accurate. Dusty's youngest
1:30:16
son was just what he feed. He tried to raise him right, but
1:30:24
he turned out too weird. That's when Dusty said, with total frustration,
1:30:31
that drugs and cheap condoms was a bad humber nageis. I know it keeps
1:30:39
Cody awake to know he wasn't planned and he was a mistake. That's okay,
1:30:50
Cody. The important thing is you're here now, but you're not alone
1:30:55
going to wrestle him. You got a tag team partner. Well, that
1:30:58
living embodiment of Kren. Seth Rollins got a little song for him too.
1:31:04
How cackling and dancing is all that you do? No wonder that your wife's
1:31:13
more popular than you. You're so damn desperate to make them aulchier. But
1:31:20
the Rock is gonna take that title disappear. You're simply an embarrassment son,
1:31:31
just like John Moran when he's waving gone, I love you, John,
1:31:42
We love you, brother. You will soon you're well soon. Hey,
1:31:50
Well, I think that covers it. We got Cody, we got his
1:31:56
family. Yeah, Seth Rollins, I feel like we might be leaving somebody
1:32:00
out who've left. Yes, the Cody crybabies. This one's for you,
1:32:11
Cody crib babies. You're also entitled, obnoxious and brash. Some of you
1:32:20
have sex, but you have to pay cash. Your hero is gonna bleed
1:32:28
and need some stitches, So whine about that, you cry baby bitches.
1:32:35
There's some line you just don't cross, you walk and kiss the ass of
1:32:44
the five balls. We're gonna do that one more time. There's some line
1:32:53
you just don't cross, you walk and kiss the ass. I love fine,
1:33:00
no bomb, we love you Memphis. You like that Memphis. Yeah,
1:33:13
the Rock like that too. But now the Rock wants to I love
1:33:21
you back, and I appreciate that love. Now the Rock is gonna say
1:33:25
I hear you too, Honey, the Rock loves you. I appreciate it.
1:33:29
We're gonna move this out of the way because the Rock wants to say
1:33:32
something. Now we had some fun, We're gonna have another kind of fun.
1:33:38
Last week on SmackDown, Cody Rhodes he did something to the Rock.
1:33:48
The world heard it, the Rock felt it. Let's take a look at
1:33:53
it. Yeah, Cody finally manned up, uh, finally grew a pair
1:34:05
of balls. He took a swing at the rock. He slapped the hell
1:34:09
out of the rock. But what the rock through the rock smiled. And
1:34:15
then a couple of days later, Cody went on Monday Night Raw and the
1:34:19
Rock was waiting. The world was waiting. How were you going to respond
1:34:23
to the biggest moment of your career slapping the rock? Were you going to
1:34:27
cut an impassionate proo? What were you gonna do? How were you going
1:34:30
to respond, Cody Roades, to the moment that made you famous? Let's
1:34:34
take a look. You responded by crying. You responded by crying. You
1:34:45
gotta be me, That's how you respond. I can't I can't give the
1:34:53
title to my daddy said, I'm gonna give the to my mommycause you ain't
1:34:58
giving anybody anything, Cody. The Rock doesn't want to talk to you right
1:35:04
now, But the Rock wants to talk to one person right now, and
1:35:10
that's your mama. Mama Roades. The Rock knows that you're watching. The
1:35:18
Rock knows you're listening. You don't know the Rock, but you're gonna know
1:35:23
the Rock in ways that you wish you hadn't. So Mama Rose, let
1:35:27
the Rock break it down for you. And how WrestleMania is gonna go.
1:35:30
Your son Cody took something from me, and I'm gonna make him pay.
1:35:33
I'm gonna make your family pay, and I'm gonna make you pay. On
1:35:40
WrestleMania Night one, the Rock and Roman reigns, we're gonna beat your son,
1:35:44
and we're gonna beat Seth Rollins, which puts us tonight too. Bloodline
1:35:48
rules, anything goes ah, Mama Rhodes, The Rock knows that you just
1:35:55
can't wait for your son to finish that story. You want your son to
1:35:59
finish that story so bad, and you want your son to hand you that
1:36:01
belt so bad, that Universal championship. But that ain't gonna happen. That
1:36:06
belt is going to stay around the waist of my cousin. Roman reigns and
1:36:18
now, Mama Rodes, you are going to get a belt, but you're
1:36:24
gonna get the Rocks belt. It ain't gonna be that you Universal Championship.
1:36:30
It's going to be this belt here, Mama Rains, Mama Roades is going
1:36:51
to be a belt just like this, and the Rocks is gonna take this
1:36:56
belt and he's gonna beat your son. He's gonna beat the piss out of
1:37:01
your son, and the Rock is gonna make your son bleed. He's gonna
1:37:05
tear his skin, tear his flesh, and he's gonna whoop him. He's
1:37:10
gonna whoop him like a dog, over and over and over again. And
1:37:14
Mama Roades, your son's blood is gonna be on this belt. And when
1:37:19
that Rock is done whooping your son and Roman has done beating your son.
1:37:26
One two three, the Rock is gonna take this belt full of your son's
1:37:30
blood and he's gonna walk over to you, Mama Rodes. The Rock needs
1:37:33
you sitting in the first row so the world can see. And the Rock
1:37:38
is gonna walk right over to you, Mama Roads, and he's gonna hand
1:37:41
you this belt. He's gonna hand you this belt right here, and he's
1:37:45
gonna put it in your lap. And you're gonna be crying, just like
1:37:49
your son. And that's okay, because then the Rock is gonna whisper in
1:37:55
your ear, Mama Roads, And with all the bloe bud on your son's
1:38:00
belt here and your tears on that belt, the Rock is gonna whisper in
1:38:04
your ear. He's gonna wipe your tears away, and he's gonna say Michelle.
1:38:09
What can I say except your welcome m h. If you smell what
1:38:40
the Final Boss is cooking. A Final Boss has never been one to make
1:39:03
idle threats, but one thing is absolutely certain. The road to WrestleMania is
1:39:10
a collision course, and in Philadelphia we will witness the biggest tag team match
1:39:15
in WrestleMania history of the Rock that is cutting our personal best. Code may
1:39:23
regret the day he incurred the rack of the Final Boss.
