Latest / My Third Place Pod / Episode 153 - Backlash France Predictions
Transcript
- 0:38Welcome to the Third Place Network show.
- 0:43You're already asking us what is the third place, you ask?
- 0:46The 3rd Place is a term coined by US sociologist Ray Oldenburg
- 0:52in his 1989 book The Great Good Place.
- 0:56It describes a place outside your home or work where you can
- 0:59relax and hang out. Your first place is your home, a
- 1:02private and domestic space. Your second place is your work,
- 1:05a structured social experience and where you can likely spend
- 1:08most of your time. Your third place is somewhere
- 1:11you can connect with others, talk about things that you love,
- 1:15share your thoughts and dreams. Share your updates about your
- 1:18health and your wealth, your motivation, inspiration, your
- 1:21fandom and your dreams. A third place is an anchor of
- 1:25the community and usually a public setting that hosts
- 1:29frequent and informal gatherings of people.
- 1:32Most people are loyal to their plates and return regularly to
- 1:37unwind and socialize. It's best if it's located close
- 1:41to your home or work. Your hang up spot, so to speak,
- 1:45could take the form of a coffee house, pub, a bar, book club,
- 1:48beauty salon or this podcast anywhere that builds community
- 1:54and shares the following common attributes.
- 1:56So once again, welcome to my third place from under the
- 2:02apron. We're finally here is the day.

- 2:08definitely be quoting In Sync. It's going to be May, but we are
- 2:13here and we are pivoting. I am your host EBO, and yes, we

- 4:22All right. So first question, what would
- 4:24your entry point into wrestling? What got you into it?
- 4:29All right, Back like in when I was like 6 or seven, I used to
- 4:33go to my uncle's house and my cousin would watch Monday Night
- 4:37Troll and Raw. And one particular night I saw
- 4:44Owen Hart and I've never seen him before, so I was just amazed
- 4:49and with the pink Tyson everything.
- 4:51And then I saw Brett too. So ever since then, I was just,
- 4:55I was just a fan, you know? So you got you got into it in
- 5:00the Attitude Era, so to speak, like you you're.
- 5:03Like. Deep in the trenches of the
- 5:05Attitude Era. Like yes.
- 5:06Let's go. Is he gone again?
- 5:15I think he's he's got bad reception, I think.
- 5:18Yeah, my my reception is horrible, but can.
- 5:21You hear me? Yeah.
- 5:24Yeah, but it was like way before.
- 5:26I think it was, I'd say probably about a year or so before the
- 5:29Attitude Era jumped off, though. Oh.
- 5:33OK, cool. So, like, around 9695.
- 5:35All right, Awesome. Yeah.
- 5:36Oh yeah. That's cool, man.
- 5:39I love, yeah, I love that that year.
- 5:44But probably when Bret Hart versus Owen Hart in a steel cage
- 5:48match, was that what that? One was or yes, yes, yes.
- 5:53I remember that year. So have you been to any live
- 6:00shows and if So, what was your experience?
- 6:05Well, I wasn't actually. I mean, I was there, but I was
- 6:08working security for a house show.
- 6:12And yeah, yeah, I was doing security for a house show in in
- 6:16Dallas when I was still in Dallas.
- 6:18And this was around the time when the SHIELD had just got
- 6:24caught up and and so I saw the SHIELD and I saw Kane and R
- 6:32Truth from a couple of others. But my lifelong dream is to
- 6:36actually go to a live event, though hopefully before I passed
- 6:41on or whatever. Oh yeah, that's awesome.
- 6:44Yeah, live shows are fucking awesome there.
- 6:46They're like, you would love them even if they're not like on
- 6:50on TV. But live shows are like, so
- 6:53they're they they they bring off a different vibe, basically, and
- 6:57it's just so cool. Oh yeah.
- 7:02You said your first wrestling memory, was that in Texas.
- 7:06What was? Who are your favorite male
- 7:08wrestler? Favorite male wrestlers of all
- 7:13time? I would say Stone Cold Steve
- 7:16Austin, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, The Rock, The Undertaker,
- 7:27Macho Man, Randy Savage. There.
- 7:31You go. Rick Flair, I mean, Devon
- 7:38Ericks, I mean, there's so many. What about favorite female
- 7:50wrestlers? Favorite female wrestlers?

- 7:58Yes, Sir. Bianca Bellaire, Charlotte
- 8:06Becky. Those are those, Yeah.
- 8:11Those are fucking beautiful, beautiful female wrestlers
- 8:15indeed. So.
- 8:16What's? Your take on Jade Cargill?
- 8:21You know some, I think she's really she's she's really
- 8:26hitting her stride right now. I mean in the short time and I
- 8:29think. She's going to.
- 8:30I think she's going to do amazing things.
- 8:32I think she's got a bright future you know and I'm very
- 8:38anxious to see what she will do. I'm I'm I'm so glad she, you
- 8:41know, she signed with WWE. And did.
- 8:46You ever watch her AEW or? I really, you know what?
- 8:51I really didn't. I saw her, but I really didn't
- 8:55watch AEW like that. I'm like, I got this old school
- 8:57mentality from like back from back in the day.
- 9:01Like I like, I didn't watch WCW that much.
- 9:03I was. I was a WWFWWE guy you know.
- 9:07So I'm. I'm still that.
- 9:08I'm still there. I'm still Aww guy.
- 9:10But I heard of her. But.
- 9:13OK, what? What I seen though, she she has
- 9:15a bright future and I can't wait to see what she does, you know?
- 9:22Yeah, one of the best things that I loved about her and her
- 9:28in AW, but she was coming out with the cosplay stuff.
- 9:33She came out as she hog. What else?
- 9:36There was some other stuff that she came.
- 9:38Out. What was that?
- 9:39She came out as Chitara one time.
- 9:41Chitara. Yes, I was like, dude, this girl
- 9:44is like triggering my whole geek stuff.
- 9:48Like she if she could do this here.
- 9:51Like I and the whole thing, the whole drama.
- 9:54Storm is coming. It's like, oh, storm, I love
- 9:57that. Yeah, go for it.
- 10:03One of the favorite things that she did in AW was coming out
- 10:06with her sorority sister and the pretty girls walk like this
- 10:12moment and I was just, I was like, dude, why isn't like, she
- 10:18bigger? Why isn't she holding the bigger
- 10:19belt instead of just like the TBS or whatever it was TBS
- 10:22championship? Yeah.
- 10:25And again, everybody was like hating on her and stuff like and
- 10:29it's like following along like let's see what everybody's
- 10:32talking about like oh, it's not bad, like keep other people have
- 10:36done worse, but this is not bad. So her moving over to AWE and
- 10:44getting that practice in NXE and getting the whole performance
- 10:48center thing. Oh, I hope she they like
- 10:51showcase her more than just like 30 seconds or two minutes into a
- 10:55match. Me too, because I've seen her
- 11:00wrestle in AW and I thought she was phenomenal.
- 11:06She did amazing. She's as she's, have you seen
- 11:10she's strong, she's athletic. You know, she puts on a good
- 11:15show. She puts on a good show.
- 11:16So I hope they do more than this. 30 seconds with her.
- 11:21Right. Next question, favorite theme
- 11:27song of all time like. Favorite theme song?
- 11:33Oh favorite theme songs of all time.
- 11:35I would have to say Randy Savage.
- 11:39Oh my God, I'm ultra mentality too.

- 12:05Randy Savage. It hurt my voice.
- 12:08I don't know how he did it for like years and years.
- 12:11Yeah, every time that even in high school, dude, it's like
- 12:15every time that song came on the popping circumstance like.

- 12:47that's the only toy I'm missing. It's a module, man, Randy
- 12:49Savage, which I'm trying to get. Well.
- 12:55But his theme song is one of the best.
- 12:58What else do you got? What else?

- 13:47It was it was just so amazing and I know a lot of and I don't

- 23:35happening, OK. I wasn't a teenager that was
- 23:39like, naive to like certain things that were happening.
- 23:44And like, yeah. That was a.
- 23:46Bit much though I would say that was a bit much.
- 23:49No, my grandmother was so religious we would have drag out
- 23:53arguments over the undertaker during that attitude every time.
- 23:56Remember the Ministry of Darkness.
- 23:58Yeah. Oh my God, we it was to.
- 24:02It was to the point where I I had to record it on the VHS tape
- 24:04and watch it by myself, 'cause oh, that was found upon in my
- 24:08house. Like when he put Austin on the
- 24:11on the cross. Yeah, that.
- 24:15From what I've gathered, Kurt Angle was there also.
- 24:19And. Yeah, and he like, fucked in.
- 24:23I'm not going. To put that there and.
- 24:27Like damn or no. No, he he he didn't do that.
- 24:30There was some something that went on in ECW.
- 24:32I'm so glad you didn't watch ECW, dude.
- 24:37Something like that. You would have even, like,
- 24:40watched it alone by yourself when Sandman, when Raven did it
- 24:44to the Sandman and the youth barbed wire.
- 24:47Oh, you. That would have been a heart
- 24:49attack on his own. But.
- 24:52Kurt Angle was there and like he like said, like no, I'm not
- 24:55going to be. I don't want to work here and
- 24:57blah blah. Next thing you know, the Kurt's
- 24:59doing it and Kurt Angle's there and there's no problem with it.

- 25:17didn't have cable and just had the antenna and which I was one
- 25:21of those people that I had the antenna.
- 25:23And it's like, if you put in the right channel at the right time
- 25:26and had the antenna, like, OK, I've got to put it here and
- 25:29here, just stand there looking at the TV and I'm just like
- 25:33sitting there like, oh, like I can't even sit down.
- 25:35I just got to stand there and hold the antenna and watch the
- 25:37TV. It's like, oh shit, that's
- 25:38awesome. Dang.
- 25:40Wow. And like, I saw it.
- 25:44I was like, I couldn't record it because I I didn't know what was
- 25:47going on. And like, next thing I know, I
- 25:50tell this to my friends, I'm like, that's fucked up.
- 25:52I'm like, yeah, like Raven had to come out.
- 25:58That's the exact same episode. And apologize to everybody if
- 26:02they were like, insulted by that and they're like.
- 26:05We. Didn't mean that for that to

- 34:16show and thought to yourself, Oh my God, that season finale plot
- 34:19to us was absolutely bonkers. Or seen a movie and thought,
- 34:21wow, I need to talk to somebody about this train wreck.
- 34:24Immediately. Then we think you'll fit right
- 34:26in with our podcast. I hate it.
- 34:27Let's watch it. We watch TV shows like Riverdale

- 34:36they deserve. It's basically group therapy for
- 34:38movie Mascus. So come check us out wherever
- 34:40you stream podcasts. I have the full results from the
- 34:45draft. the Champions didn't get drafted, so they were the only
- 34:48ones that were safe. And for Roman Reigns earlier on
- 34:52Friday, withdrawing from the draft made both raw and smack
- 34:55down scramble to pivot their assets.
- 34:59This led to Solo Sakova to believe that the bloodline
- 35:01actually mattered. Without Roman, they didn't
- 35:06false. So over the course of four days,
- 35:09this ended up. Happening.

- 35:59Kai, Women's Tag Team champions Oscar and Kyrie Sane.

- 40:51Chelsea Green the same way again.
- 40:54Ah. Right.

- 41:15Yeah. Meanwhile, over on NXT, the NXT
- 41:22Women's Champion rock, Sampara got upset because you couldn't
- 41:26get drafted so well. You do hold the belt like I
- 41:31know, but it sucks. But it sucks.
- 41:40Chelsea Green went over there and she's competing for it from
- 41:43now on. So it's all good.
- 41:44It's. Like we might get more Chelsea.
- 41:51So what do we think of this? Like, I love the, like all the
- 41:58people from NXT. It's like mostly everybody went
- 42:01to Raw. I'm like, wait, what?
- 42:06Like why there's only two people on Smackdown.
- 42:12Yeah, you know, I I thought it was it was OK.
- 42:16It was OK. You know, I will admit that I
- 42:21didn't finish the drafts. I stopped at an hour because
- 42:27every time I try to watch it, I was falling asleep.
- 42:30But that's just me because. It wasn't just.
- 42:33You raw is too long. Raw is too long to me.
- 42:36It always has been. When you watch it on TV, when
- 42:41you are there, it's great. Watching on TV, not so much.
- 42:46But you know. It's all good though.
- 42:51I look forward to seeing some of these people fighting each
- 42:55other, so I think you'll be good.
- 43:02Yeah, the same way. Like, I love it.
- 43:08But I'd noticed that Mommy wasn't on there.
- 43:12Even though I know she's part of Judgment Day, they didn't
- 43:14announce her name. So that's.
- 43:16That's very true. Yeah.
- 43:17She wasn't. Huh.
- 43:19Oh. She's injured, so they're all
- 43:21safe. Anybody that's injured even
- 43:24thinking Eddie Guerrero. I mean, what's his face?
- 43:28Dominic Dominic. Dominic freaking.
- 43:31I was like Eddie Guerrero. Dominic.
- 43:35What? Do you mean his son?
- 43:37His son, apparently. Because dude grew A mustache and
- 43:40the whole thing. I'm just like, even watching
- 43:43from afar when he's like coming through the entrance and all
- 43:47that stuff. I was like, oh God, he looked
- 43:49just like him. They called Blair Davenport
- 43:55Gothic charisma. It's like, what the hell, The
- 43:57Gothic charisma guess. That's what she's going to go by
- 44:03now. She's on the main roster.
- 44:05Born in England, raised in New Zealand.
- 44:06Gothic charisma meets cold hearted fury, frightening
- 44:10intensity. So emo, is that what you're
- 44:13saying? All right.
- 44:17But the whole thing with dumb and it's getting to the point
- 44:22where I'm just like this dude really starting to look like
- 44:25him. Like I can't.
- 44:29I I'm. I'm enjoying this so much.
- 44:31And even doing his his gimmick. The whole Latino heat.
- 44:35The. Dude was.
- 44:36Spotted with Lib Morgan. Lib Morgan was coming out of a
- 44:39dressing room and then like a minute later he comes out going
- 44:44the same way and everybody's all assuming like, oh shit,
- 44:49something's happening. It's like you know sometime to
- 44:52tell like wrestlers, hey, go the other way because they're
- 44:55they're interviewing here so the whole like maybe them two just
- 44:59coming out of the same locker room just like, oh shit, go that
- 45:04way. Like, all right, but we took it
- 45:08as oh he's cheating on mommy, hell no.
- 45:15And like, when she comes back, it's going to be a fucking a
- 45:19mess. I'm just waiting for it to be
- 45:24when she comes. Back I I know she's going to
- 45:26come back strong. She's.
- 45:27Going to come back in the face and he's still going to be a
- 45:30heel, of course. And like, they're going to be
- 45:34like, you cheated on mommy. How dare you.
- 45:36They're going to hate him more. Dude, this whole we're going to
- 45:41eat. Can't wait for that.
- 45:48So what do you think of the the final thoughts of this draft
- 45:56menace? Oh, I'm sorry.
- 45:58I thought you're talking to Greg.
- 45:59I'm sorry, both. Of you, you know.
- 46:01It's it is what it is and I can't wait to see it.
- 46:06I want, you know, when they're everybody's locked in after this
- 46:10weekend. I think it'll maybe change some
- 46:15of the matches because a lot of the matches, I think on raw,
- 46:19like, especially like in the tag division, are getting too
- 46:22repetitive. The same people are fighting the
- 46:24same people. So you know, there's other tag
- 46:29teams that can fight each other, you know, why do we keep doing
- 46:33the same thing? And I'm not too keen on all of
- 46:37this. Oh, let's do all these fatal
- 46:39four ways for #1 contenders. It's called Yet do a like a you
- 46:46know here and There say like a bracket that I like that but
- 46:53fatal four ways or you know no make them fight for it.
- 46:58You'll make it fair. That's just me so.
- 47:04Awesome Truth and myths are on RAW so they get to fight the
- 47:07Alpha Academy. Imperium LWO, Judgment Day New
- 47:16Day Final Testament. I I'm yeah, hell yeah I'm
- 47:21getting we're getting these new new new matches Jewelers Creed
- 47:27and Brutus Creed new catch Republic.
- 47:29They've got like a whole new tag team pairings out here.
- 47:37Who else The the women's tag team champions.
- 47:41They're not they're they can go either way raw and smack down.
- 47:44So they got like, their own Maxine, Dupree, and Ava.
- 47:48Fire. Ivy.
- 47:50Ivy. Ivy.
- 47:51I'm sorry, Ivy, Nile. Alba.
- 47:53Fire. Nila, Don.

- 48:29Already burned like that into my.
- 48:32Chest. They like the matches that I've
- 48:35seen between these two. Like his Ilya's back.

- 48:48I'm gonna use the the audio clip back of a banger that that is
- 48:54gonna be a banger Iliad dragon off against anybody.
- 48:57Actually, CM Punk. Oh my God.
- 49:02Sheamus Braun. Breaker.
- 49:06Gunther freaking. With Bron Breaker, they need to
- 49:10let him fight and stop with all this 32nd crap.
- 49:14I ain't. I ain't.
- 49:15Not for it. Yeah, we know what he can do,
- 49:18'cause he did it on NXT. OK, OK, I get it.
- 49:21You know, he's powerful. Let him show his skills.
- 49:26I really hope they don't try to make this like what they did
- 49:29with gold. Oh God, not a whole other thing
- 49:34with Goldberg's face. Then the next thing you know,
- 49:36Goldberg's going to show up on Roswell.

- 50:59I know, but he. But he's with.
- 51:03He's tagged with Grayson Waller, so which I didn't think that
- 51:08they would be. I didn't think that they would
- 51:10be, you know, A tag team for for this long so.
- 51:16Right then they are. They were having some issues and
- 51:22I thought Austin was going to turn on Grayson Waller, so.
- 51:26The bloodline Solo and Tama like definitely going to feud with
- 51:30The OC first. Oh my God, Tama and the OC.

- 52:05This is, this is prime time. It really is.
- 52:09Oh my God. JTGJTG still works here.
- 52:15Remember that? Like, remember that meme?
- 52:19This is now. Yeah, I remember it, Shafi.
- 52:23Still works here. I didn't even like, oh, I'm not
- 52:27saying he should just get fired. I'm just saying like, you still
- 52:30work here, bro, and you're teaming with Cedric Alexander?
- 52:35Like when did this happen? They were down in NXT together.
- 52:42I saw like a little blurb where Ashanti was like, Nah, we got,
- 52:48you know, we got to, we got to fix you up.
- 52:51And so he's trying to make him more serious and stylish.
- 52:55So I think that's the angle they're trying to work because
- 53:00Apollo Cruise for a while was kind of not being used and said
- 53:05Asanti just, you know, magically was able to stay while his
- 53:11partner got let go and B Fab is doing her own thing.
- 53:14So I don't know. We'll see what happened.
- 53:20Yeah, that guy's on in TNA right now doing some good stuff.
- 53:25Oh, is he? At least he's not man not
- 53:29falling off the rope, yeah. Botching.
- 53:33Botching everything. Yeah.
- 53:40So, though I love it. Little Tegan Knox.
- 53:45Where has she been, you know? They just had her a couple weeks
- 53:53ago, teaming with Zoe Stark and Shayna Baszler.
- 53:58And I was like, this is a weird combination.
- 54:00I don't know. But we'll see.
- 54:07I don't know. I guess she's not tagged him
- 54:10with Natalia no more. I don't know.
- 54:15But I don't know what. I don't know where they want to
- 54:18put her, you know? Right.
- 54:24And then the people that were released.
- 54:27Jinder Mahal, Zion Quinn, Lia Lee, Lia Lee, Sangha, Birmahan,
- 54:33Von Wagner and Cameron Grimes. Like.
- 54:39Didn't I just see these? Guys on the show and they got
- 54:42taken out. That's weird.
- 54:44Yeah, yeah. Well, sorry.
- 54:53It was sad to see Cameron Grimes get released.
- 54:59He was super emotional. Yeah, that hurt him.
- 55:04That hurt him, though. It really did.
- 55:06Yeah. The goal?
- 55:10Explain the 1990s in exactly 60 songs.
- 55:13Radiohead. Tupac Mariah Carey Lauryn Hill
- 55:16Wonderwall Enter Sandman. You ought to know Cream The
- 55:20greater goal. Move past chief nostalgia to
- 55:22something deeper and weirder and better.
- 55:25My name is Rob Harvilla. I'm a music critic at The Ringer
- 55:27and my new show is called indeed 60 Songs That Explain the 90s.
- 55:32Since that title is fairly self-explanatory, I figured I'd
- 55:35explain who qualifies me to host this.
- 55:38Here is my resume. In 1992 I won a trophy for
- 55:41wearing more corduroy and flannel than any other 13 year
- 55:44old in America. Freshman year of college, I was
- 55:47in a third wave ska band that broke up and reformed without
- 55:50me. As an emo band.
- 55:52I nearly started a civil war at my college radio station by
- 55:55putting You Got Me by the Roots in Heavy Rotation.
- 55:58I cried the first time I heard York's hyper ballad, which
- 56:01incidentally occurred somewhere between the ska band and the emo
- 56:03band. One time I wrote out the lyrics
- 56:06to Sunny Day Real Estates in Circles by hand and mailed them
- 56:09to a girl. All of those are true, except
- 56:12the first one. This is my perspective.
- 56:14Crucially, in every episode I'll be joined by fellow writers,
- 56:17critics, musicians, enthusiasts and ringer luminaries with
- 56:20wildly different perspectives. Whether you're full of teenage
- 56:23angst, you feel bored and old, whether you don't know the song
- 56:26at all or you know it far too well, we'll take you through the
- 56:29decade, one killer track at a time. 60 Songs That Explain the
- 56:3390s is released every Thursday. Listen for free on Spotify.
- 56:45Hey, it's Evo. We're going to get back to the
- 56:48episode you're listening to. But first let me tell you about
- 56:51Dark Freak creations. Dark Freak creations are candles
- 56:54that are vibrant, colorful marble tops, amazing mouth
- 56:59watering fragrances fueled by lovely braided cotton wigs.
- 57:04Paper threads woven into every cotton wig for a clean,
- 57:07romantic, slow and consistent burn.
- 57:11Each candle is unique from the next as they are hand mixed and
- 57:14hand poured right in Grass Valley, CA.
- 57:18They use only coconut and soy waxes for a safer, cleaner and
- 57:22longer burn time. That's almost 72 hours That's
- 57:26like binging on all 130 episodes of the podcast.
- 57:30All fragrance blends have been heavily researched.
- 57:32Dark recreations not only care about the look, fragrance and
- 57:35quality of their candles and their other products, but also

- 1:00:21It's for the international ones. Oh, OK, so everybody else has it
- 1:00:26except for us. Yes.
- 1:00:29And then it's going to be on Netflix, you know, starting next
- 1:00:32year, so. Yeah.
- 1:00:34Because I need to get rid of the, you know, WWE Network, so
- 1:00:39people just have to watch it on Netflix.
- 1:00:43That's going to crash real quick.
- 1:00:48Probably I. Can't watch RAW?
- 1:00:50Yeah 'cause everybody's trying to watch RAW.
- 1:00:54Additionally, the May 3rd episode of Friday Night

- 1:01:09Are you going to get up at 9:30? I'm up at 9:30 on Saturdays, I'm
- 1:01:15up at that time. I mean, I was up at 4:00 AM that
- 1:01:18one. Yeah, I know, I said.
- 1:01:22You know what, I will just watch it on the replay.
- 1:01:25I'm not that dedicated. I was up at 4:00 AM Australia.
- 1:01:32That was it, Yeah. When they went to Perth,
- 1:01:34Australia, I was up at 4:00 AM watching and I'm just like, OK,
- 1:01:38I'm going to go to sleep sometime.
- 1:01:42If WrestleMania was the season finale for wrestling or the end
- 1:01:45game as they were calling it for the Cody and the Cody render,
- 1:01:49the backlash feels like the sea, the premier, the genesis of the
- 1:01:51new era, phase five, probably Marble talk going into this new
- 1:01:57season, we have new champions across the board or we'll
- 1:02:01probably have new champion again later on.
- 1:02:06We will predict if any champions still hold on to the belts by
- 1:02:08the end of the year. Going into wrestling.
- 1:02:10Yeah 41 or what storyline we will see play out at war games
- 1:02:13this year. It could get it.
- 1:02:16We could be wrong or we could get it right.
- 1:02:18Who knows. First match Kavookie Warriors
- 1:02:21Oscar and Kyrie Sang versus Bianca Bellaire and Jay Cargill.
- 1:02:24Tag team match for the the Women's Tag Team Championship at
- 1:02:27night One at WrestleMania 40, Bianca Bellaire and Jay Cargill.
- 1:02:30The damage controls Dakota Kai and the women's tag team
- 1:02:32Champions of the groupie warriors Oscar and Kyrie Sane
- 1:02:35and this tags woman tag team match.
- 1:02:38Naomi was included in this on the April 26th episode of
- 1:02:42Smackdown that was announced at the Kabuki Warriors with
- 1:02:43defended W Tag Team Champion Women's Tag Team Championship
- 1:02:47against LAX for Girl at Backlash France.
- 1:02:50And since then they've just been doing some face to face back and
- 1:02:54forth stuff, calling it right now Kabuki Warriors win, thus
- 1:03:04breaking up Bianca Bella, Andre Cargo.
- 1:03:08Nope. No, not yet.
- 1:03:10Nope, I say they're going to win.
- 1:03:13I say it's going to be new tag team champions.
- 1:03:19I can't go wrong against Bianca and Jade.
- 1:03:22You know, I'm Team Bianca all the way and I love Jade Cargill
- 1:03:28ever since I saw her, so yeah. So Jade Cargill's going to
- 1:03:32remain face. Yeah.
- 1:03:35OK. I think they're going to keep
- 1:03:38this going on. OK.
- 1:03:47Greg Uh oh, he's. Still with us?
- 1:03:53He is, but he's just probably in the bad spot.
- 1:03:56OK, there he. Is yes, yes, yes.
- 1:03:57Good for it. OK, I think they, I think we'll
- 1:04:03get new tag champions. They got a lot of momentum from
- 1:04:07WrestleMania, so we just might see some new women tag team
- 1:04:10champions. So, new tagging champions Bianca
- 1:04:19Bella and Jake Cargo? Yeah, sure, so the backstabbing
- 1:04:26doesn't happen now, but like, these are the two that I want to
- 1:04:29see at WrestleMania 41. Bianca Bella adverts.
- 1:04:31Jay Cargill. Sure, sure, I can see that.
- 1:04:36I can see it, but I think, I think that'll come a little
- 1:04:43later, like in the this year. I think right now keep her as a
- 1:04:50as a face, give her a little taste of the championship and
- 1:04:54then, you know, they lose it and then Jay turns right, right,
- 1:04:59right, right. Yeah.
- 1:05:03Next match, Randy Orton Kevin Owens versus the bloodline Solo
- 1:05:06Sekoa and his MFT Tomatonga MFT. What does it mean?
- 1:05:13People have your what? My favorite Tongan, No.
- 1:05:20Hey, it could. It could.
- 1:05:23It could actually mean that people have speculated that my
- 1:05:27MFTMFT could mean my family tree.
- 1:05:30Then you'd be like my my family tree.
- 1:05:33Other people have said my favorite Tonga or my MF Tonga,
- 1:05:39my motherfucking Tonga. I'm going back on when rikishi
- 1:05:47used to tag with Haku. So this is like a an old school
- 1:05:55saying where Solsko and Tamatonga are brothers but
- 1:05:57cousins and then that. Really.
- 1:05:59Relates. But like, hey, we're family.
- 1:06:02So my Tamatanga, my motherfucking Tonga.
- 1:06:09Following his loss at night two of WrestleMania 40, the
- 1:06:11Bloodlines leader Roman Reigns went on a hiatus.
- 1:06:13So it's like us took charge of the group, removing Jimmy Osso
- 1:06:17from the faction and choosing the debuting Tamatanga on the
- 1:06:20April 12th episode of Smackdown. The following week, the duo
- 1:06:23viciously assaulted Kevin Owens. On the April 26th episode on The
- 1:06:26Bloodline again attempted to attack Owen, Ronnie or made
- 1:06:29save. Later that night it was
- 1:06:31announced that Orton and Owens would face the bloodline and
- 1:06:33attack the match at that last France.
- 1:06:35This will be tongue and ring the debut.
- 1:06:42Make them look strong stronger. Have the Bloodline win and solo
- 1:06:52just savage going beating people up.
- 1:06:55Tama Tonga just oh God savage, How did?
- 1:07:02They have to make him like an animal.
- 1:07:04It's like, I don't get that. He's like going crazy.
- 1:07:10Wow. I don't.
- 1:07:13Know. It's a new Japan thing.
- 1:07:15He was doing the same thing over there.
- 1:07:17He was doing. He was being savagely over
- 1:07:19there. What?
- 1:07:20Gorillas of destiny? Yeah, they they were, they were
- 1:07:26amazing. Him and his brother Hikaleo, So
- 1:07:33there. So there's more bloodline people
- 1:07:36over there. I can't wait for them to show up
- 1:07:40here, dude. All right, so I got the
- 1:07:46bloodline on this match. It's going to get bloody.
- 1:07:49I just know it. It's going to end up in a DQ,
- 1:07:52perhaps. Probably.
- 1:07:54We're going to see all kinds of freaking weapons in here.
- 1:07:56We're going to see all calling it you.
- 1:08:03Think they're going to do? Bloodline rules.
- 1:08:05Bloodline rules every time I. Don't think so.
- 1:08:11I don't think going to be no bloodline rules.
- 1:08:14All right. Yeah, I don't think.
- 1:08:20Yeah, I think the bloodline's going to win too.
- 1:08:23Excuse. Me, Greg.
- 1:08:28Bloodline for sure. Bloodline.
- 1:08:30All right, we all agree on the bloodline here, so we're raising
- 1:08:37our fingers up again. Or are we?
- 1:08:38Just like, let's wait until. Roman comes back.
- 1:08:42Speaking of which, I don't know if I told you, but you know I
- 1:08:47have a new niece, right? Yeah.
- 1:08:50And it just so happens that my, my, my niece might hurt.
- 1:08:55Her mom came over and watched night one of WrestleMania with
- 1:09:01us, right? Because she loves The Rock.
- 1:09:05She don't know anything about wrestling, but she just loves
- 1:09:08the Rock, right? So she's like, oh, I want to see
- 1:09:11that. We're like, OK, cool, Don't you
- 1:09:14know? When they showed the bloodline,
- 1:09:17my baby niece just raised her little hand and put one up.
- 1:09:23Oh my God. Wow.
- 1:09:26Every time I see her, I said. Put your little one up.
- 1:09:28That's. All.
- 1:09:32So sometimes she doesn't she'll she'll raise her arm up.
- 1:09:38I'm like yes. I love it.
- 1:09:41How many weeks old is she? My sister's like, knock it off.
- 1:09:45I was like, no, no, that's how she signals she wants me.
- 1:09:50She puts your little one up and she wants to be with me.
- 1:09:54And I said, if this is the theme song you need to listen to.
- 1:09:58Wow. And I put Roman's song on and
- 1:10:06she looked at me like I was crazy, but I said I don't care.
- 1:10:10And so I was like, if they had little kids shirts that she
- 1:10:13could get, Guess what? She's getting there.
- 1:10:18You go. It's going to say acknowledge
- 1:10:22me. That's freaking great.
- 1:10:27That's awesome. I keep forgetting to tell you
- 1:10:34that's. Awesome.
- 1:10:37Bro, I love it. Acknowledge.
- 1:10:40And then And then when it was night two, my sister was at her
- 1:10:46house and she's like, Dang it, I want to watch it.
- 1:10:49She's like, OK, put it on. Don't you know?
- 1:10:51As soon as Roman came out, she looked at the TV.
- 1:10:58I was like, that's my girl. That's my girl.
- 1:11:02I recognize this song. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:11:07Not bad for two-month old, right?
- 1:11:09Right, Right, right. I love IT.
- 1:11:18Next match, Bailey versus Naomi versus Tiffany Stratton for the
- 1:11:22WE Women's Championship on night two of WrestleMania 40.
- 1:11:26Bailey won the WE Women's Championship.
- 1:11:28On the next episode of Smack Down, while Bailey was talking
- 1:11:32about giving YOU opportunity for other women, Tiffany Stratton
- 1:11:34appeared to accept the opportunity.
- 1:11:36However, Bailey said she was talking about giving Naomi a
- 1:11:38chance for the championship. Stratton didn't insult Naomi,
- 1:11:41prompting her to come to the ring.
- 1:11:43After the discussion between Naomi and Stratton, they face
- 1:11:45each other in a match to determine who would challenge
- 1:11:47Bailey. The championship when Naomi won
- 1:11:49the title match took place on the next episode, but ended in
- 1:11:52the non contest after Stratton attack both Bailey and Naomi.
- 1:11:56Another match between Naomi and Stratton was then scheduled in
- 1:11:58the next episode to determine who would challenge Bailey.
- 1:12:00The championship at the Backlash rounds but ended in another no
- 1:12:03contest for after eternal interference from NIA Jax.
- 1:12:08She's coming. Smackdown general manager Nick
- 1:12:11Alderson announced that Bailey would defend the WE Women's
- 1:12:13Championship against Naomi and Strad in the Triple trip Magic
- 1:12:16Backlash NIA jacket in this year.
- 1:12:18You know it. She's going to take out all
- 1:12:22three of them and then I don't know who is this I.
- 1:12:31Say Bailey. Bailey Bailey continues being
- 1:12:34champion. Yeah.
- 1:12:36Thanks. Bailey, who is your pen?
- 1:12:42Naomi or Tiffany? Tiffany Stratton.
- 1:12:46Tiffany Stratton. Yep, that's what I'm saying.
- 1:12:49Bailey wins. Tiffany.
- 1:12:53And NIA Jackson interferes beating everybody.
- 1:12:57Up. After the match, I love it.
- 1:13:03Next match, Damon Priest versus Jay USO for the World
- 1:13:06Heavyweight Championship. It's a little short.
- 1:13:10Night 2 WrestleMania 4 You Damon Priest cashed in his Money in
- 1:13:13the Bank contract, won the world's Heavyweight championship
- 1:13:16the next night on Roger, who's the one afraid of four women to
- 1:13:18become the more extended title. And that's it.
- 1:13:23Just like, hey, we have nothing to tell you guys other than the
- 1:13:26fact that they just, like squared off against each other
- 1:13:29and there has been no, there's only one face to face and that
- 1:13:33was it. Like, can we just like go back
- 1:13:39to premium live events every two months?
- 1:13:47Because I feel this should have just like, you know, been a slow
- 1:13:52burn and like we could have gotten more out of it had they,
- 1:13:55like talked to each other face to face promos.
- 1:14:02I don't, man. It sucks without Seth Rollins
- 1:14:11and Roman Reigns as champion. Shit.
- 1:14:18Oh man, and. This is a new era, new genesis,
- 1:14:21like everybody. 'S a new.
- 1:14:23Champion, all right. Like I want someone to win here.
- 1:14:27Like, I Jay lost his opportunities against Roman
- 1:14:31sometimes. And then just like Damien
- 1:14:33Freeze, I want him to win. But I don't want Damien to lose
- 1:14:37already. Oh yeah.
- 1:14:41I don't think he'll lose, though, I honestly don't think.
- 1:14:45No, I think, I think Damien Priest is going to win, but I
- 1:14:51think they're going to revisit this come Summer Slam, OK?
- 1:14:57I think Summer Slam, they'll revisit it because I I really
- 1:15:04don't think they're going to do it on the next PLE after, you
- 1:15:07know? Right, I think.
- 1:15:10I guess I think they should wait and kind of build up and build
- 1:15:13up. That's what they should have
- 1:15:14done here. But it's like, all right, it's
- 1:15:17been a week since we just got, we just got over WrestleMania
- 1:15:2140. Can we just, like, chill for a
- 1:15:23minute? Like, give us some breathing
- 1:15:26room And just like, all right, let's get ready for another
- 1:15:28paper. You was like, oh dude.
- 1:15:30Come on. Whoa.
- 1:15:37I don't want him to be like a champion for one night, so I'm
- 1:15:42just going to give it to Damon Preed.
- 1:15:45I hope he win. He retains.
- 1:15:47And then we get another match between these two.
- 1:15:53Next main event, possibly the main event.
- 1:15:55Cody Rose was AJ Styles for the championship on Night 2,
- 1:15:59WrestleMania 40, Ala. Knight defeated AJ Styles well
- 1:16:02later that night in the main event.
- 1:16:03Cody Rose won undefeated the the Universal Championship on April
- 1:16:0712th and announced that Rose for a challenger for title will be
- 1:16:09determined by tournament that would begin on the night
- 1:16:11Smackdown Knight and Style subsequently won their
- 1:16:13respective type of threat matches.
- 1:16:16The following Styles defeated Knight which I said this would
- 1:16:18happen. I just didn't think it would
- 1:16:20happen right away to her in the championship at 16 against Rose
- 1:16:24that Backlash rant like so it's one in one Styles at night.
- 1:16:31Yeah as giving Cody Rhodes go a turning heel vibe for some
- 1:16:39reason at this. Like, can we just hurry up and?
- 1:16:43Right. Like, was it the whole Joker's
- 1:16:48Batman thing? Live long enough to become the
- 1:16:53villain? Right.
- 1:16:56That's what's happened. All right, I'm here.
- 1:16:58I have the belt now. Now what?
- 1:17:00Oh, you want a shot at me? Let's go then.
- 1:17:02Here, I'll give you a chance. I've done this before, blah,
- 1:17:05blah, blah, like. And now you're just like, oh, is
- 1:17:09this who we gave them the chance to what?
- 1:17:13Like, we don't like it anymore. It's like I I was just like, all
- 1:17:16right, whatever, dude. I'm saying Cody Rhodes wins.
- 1:17:23He for some reason he cheats this go ahead and turn, give a
- 1:17:31double turn and like it's slow, it's slowly going to turn into
- 1:17:34Cody Rose's turning heel at Round War game.
- 1:17:41That's a that's a good. That's a good one, I think.
- 1:17:47I think Cody's going to win, but AJ is not going to let this rest
- 1:17:53because I think someone else is going to come in and interfere
- 1:17:58but not necessarily get disqualified kind of thing so.
- 1:18:07All right. I'm definitely going to watch it
- 1:18:09at 11:00 AM. All right, So who's staying
- 1:18:15champion by the end of the year? Cody let's.
- 1:18:20See. I know Cody Rhodes going to stay
- 1:18:23champion till WrestleMania 41 like this whole.
- 1:18:29Like I have a story, you know, all this stuff and then this
- 1:18:33story becomes where he just like he's turning heels slowly.
- 1:18:39Roman Reigns wins the the shot at WrestleMania 41 and they face
- 1:18:45off again Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns.
- 1:18:47But this time Cody's a Cody's a heel and Roman's a face.
- 1:18:54Like best two out of three, I guess.
- 1:18:59Damon Priest. I don't think he'll be a
- 1:19:01champion by the end of the year. Bailey.
- 1:19:03I don't think she'll be champion by the end of the year.
- 1:19:08Yeah, everybody else looks good. Yeah.
- 1:19:15Awesome truth. I don't think they'll be
- 1:19:16championed by the end of the year.
- 1:19:22You know I. Think.
- 1:19:25I don't think so either. Nah 'cause you know what I think
- 1:19:29it's gonna be? They're gonna make it truthful.
- 1:19:32Oh God, yeah. You know and then get already
- 1:19:38miss is gonna turn. On them, Miss is gonna go back
- 1:19:41to heal again. Yeah.
- 1:19:46Who's competing at war games like the girls?
- 1:19:50We don't know yet. Like, I get it.
- 1:19:53But the men I just know Bloodline's gonna be in it.
- 1:19:58Bloodline versus bloodline, I said.
- 1:20:00Bloodline. Civil war.
- 1:20:02Civil war. We're doing civil war.
- 1:20:05Yes. Yes, All right.
- 1:20:06So, so far we have on one side Roman Reigns and Versus Solo
- 1:20:12Sakoa. Yes, that's all.
- 1:20:15Definitely Jay. Also with Roman Reign, will we
- 1:20:19get Jimmy? I think Jimmy will reunite with
- 1:20:23Jay, yeah. So over on Solo's side is his
- 1:20:27Tama Tonga and I guess they're saying Jacob.
- 1:20:34But where do you think Paul Heyman's going to be?
- 1:20:38Whose side is he going to be on? He's going to be on the side of
- 1:20:41the tribal chief, whoever that ends up being at the end of war
- 1:20:46games, he has to be on that side.
- 1:20:49He's, he's, he's. He's the the he's the Dominic
- 1:20:55who gets custody, right? Who gets custody of Paul Heyman?
- 1:21:02Services Wise man. So I yeah, I can't wait for
- 1:21:09that. Yeah, yeah, I think because
- 1:21:13because they keep saying because I saw an article in Sports Kita
- 1:21:16that said Roman is supposed to be.
- 1:21:20He's scheduled to appear August 2nd, which is the Smackdown
- 1:21:26before SummerSlam, which. I.
- 1:21:31I don't think he'll, if he comes back, he ain't going to do it on
- 1:21:34Smackdown. He's going to make his entrance
- 1:21:37like he did when he came back as tribal chief.
- 1:21:42He's going to come back, you know, on SummerSlam, you know,
- 1:21:46make a big, have a big pop. Right.
- 1:21:51Koi versus solo Takoa. What's that?
- 1:21:55Cody versus Solo Sokola. Yeah, or I think yeah.
- 1:22:00Yeah. I think it'll be if Cody's
- 1:22:01still, I think Solo's going to go for it because you know he
- 1:22:05needs to bring the gold back to the bloodline, right?
- 1:22:10Yeah, you're right. And they do it as Summer Slam
- 1:22:16Roman shows up, and that's when they start building up to
- 1:22:22Survivor. Series.
- 1:22:24Yes, I love that already. You know, I think that's what
- 1:22:30it's going to be, and I don't, I don't know if he's going to be
- 1:22:34face. I think he'd come back, you
- 1:22:38know, as heel, 'cause he had such a success as heel.
- 1:22:42But you know, whatever. Just come back.
- 1:22:47Just come back. We we miss.
- 1:22:49We miss doing the ones pointing up at the sky and like we need
- 1:22:55a, we need a we need a a champion we can trust.
- 1:23:00It's like that's going to like entertain us.
- 1:23:03And I'm not saying codeine, but just like this whole what do you
- 1:23:08want to talk about saying he's on my nerves already.
- 1:23:11Again, it's. Been on your nerves since he
- 1:23:13came back. Yes, it has.
- 1:23:16I was slowly getting used to it. Then it's like, all right, he's
