- 3:00know the important dockets are on the table, but there were some important things
- 3:01to the table. Thankfully he missed them. Because he's not that much of
- 3:04an asshole, but he's an asshole, but I love him anyway. Who
- 3:07doesn't like sunflowers. Apparently apparently doesn't like sun flowers. So yeah, so
- 3:14that's why I came in all fluster. So I apologize, but thank you

- 3:35a minute. Wait. The whole time we've been doing the show, we've

- 3:53great name. Wow, I'll just take that in for a second. I
- 3:58want you all, I want you all to sit there and take it on.
- 4:01Also, I actually want to before we get to the serp. Hold

- 4:09of quality Age two. Oh, and I'm drinking Metazoa Brewings. Wicked,
- 4:13awesome, awesome, hazy India and it's delish. It's quite good. He
- 4:20just got to keep a little puppy on the front. You know how Minisoa
- 4:25does all the game most This one's just got a little little puppy on.
- 4:28It looks like to be a golden retriever to me. But continue so so
- 4:36yes, so we're going off that with the hint and it is tax season.
- 4:46Oh I was trying to get to I lost my train of thought because
- 4:48I interrupted you on acent So I apologize. So how dare you anyway?
- 4:51I would like to actually forward a quick apology to the listeners of Truck's Cantina
- 4:58from a couple of comments I received from some of our listeners, more so
- 5:01people that I know, and this has been a common issue a month,
- 5:06and I'm not blaming them. I actually have communicate with them. They have
- 5:10giving me tips on what I can do, but they kind of say it's
- 5:13out of their hands unfortunately. So my main distributor for the podcast is Spreaker,
- 5:18great people. They have like any website, they have those like auto
- 5:21chats like what would you have any questions or concerns? You type it in
- 5:26go to this Lenk. You say one thing, You're like, okay,
- 5:28let's get you the lie person. So I have the ads on here,
- 5:30and unfort a lot of times you'll just put an ad, you'll put ad
- 5:35brakes in or whatever, and the volume just goes to a twelve Jesus Christ.
- 5:43And this has been very common issue, not just my podcast. And
- 5:46this isn't just the thing with my podcast. This isn't just a thing with
- 5:48Spreaker. This is a many a thing with other distributors as well. This
- 5:53is the thing they're continuously working on. I don't know why they don't have
- 5:59a set for their podcast, like, oh hey, if it's a dissolution
- 6:02match it I think it deparentsly it depends on the people buying the time,
- 6:11because you'll again, you know, it's the classic. Okay, you know,
- 6:15you're a kid from the nineties. You leave your TV on and at
- 6:18three in the morning, all of a sudden, the greatest love songs of
- 6:20a generation come on and for some reason, you're volume on your TV's But
- 6:29for some reason they decide to take the realm the fucking forty even though the
- 6:32volume is still at ten. Like, it doesn't make sense, It doesn't
- 6:36make sense, but it still happens today. But it happens with the most
- 6:40random ast commercials, now, you know what. I've also noticed this on
- 6:44a certain purple streaming platform as well, with their Yeah and those will just
- 6:51shoot in it twice three times a volume and you're listening to and it's just
- 6:57an insane no again again. And that's why I expressed polgies. I know
- 7:00the last because I guess the last, because actually the last few episodes,
- 7:04I've actually took in our audio down a level or two just because we're getting
- 7:11pretty rowdy. Well not that we're getting rowdy, but like when you it's
- 7:15anything when you edit something, or when you do the podcast one platform like
- 7:18we do, and then you put it on a different platform like I do,
- 7:20to edit it, and then you put it on a third platform,
- 7:25it could vary a little bit. So I noticed that the levels were quite
- 7:29loud the first couple of years, so like, hey, you want let
- 7:30me turn it down a level, and actually it said I was at I
- 7:33was actually kind of below the recommended level, like when you lose it.
- 7:35But whenever I listen to the podcast, I've never had I've had no complaints
- 7:39about the audio so I think it sounds good and like there's been times like
- 7:43you know, like I like, I know he's been in a while and
- 7:45that then there's no issues. You just got some stuff going by, clicking
- 7:46e clack, Like he would sometimes have a fan in the background because where
- 7:49he was living. It's like I gotta have a fan. I'm gonna swit
- 7:51my balls. I'm like, hey, I get it, man. But
- 7:54like something you get background noise, like with this, it's kind of like
- 7:57a limited any pitchential background noise because like there's like one I'm on never forget.
- 8:00Like you and I were talking, all of a sudden, we just
- 8:01heard like a loud ass dude that thought like, hey, I'm gonna waste
- 8:05have it to take a gas and just rep my entrepreneur reason outside your window.
- 8:09But like you, but you could barely hear it. So it's just
- 8:13ship like that. So again, I do want to apology, mostly to
- 8:15my dad because my dad's like I was sitting in the doctor's office today listen
- 8:18to your podcast, and all of a sudden just went hello. I said,
- 8:24I was laughing my ass off at you guys, and then I wanted
- 8:26to kill you. But I know it wasn't your fault. I'm like,
- 8:28and again, I don't control the ads. I say, hey, if
- 8:31they're paying, put it in there. I don't see much of that money
- 8:35on me because when I'm enough listeners not yet, not gonna what but but
- 8:39I digress my apologies. Yeah, so anyway, how are you? That
- 8:48wraps that one up? Moving out papers on desk? No, man,
- 8:56I've been good. I mean shit, I just went and saw the new
- 9:03uh gods you little movie. Yeah, lady took me on a little surprise
- 9:09movie day. Yeah. I thought that was excellent. That was a little
- 9:11cheesy, but in a good way. I mean, and I know I
- 9:16said, we're doing some review. We will do that next week. You
- 9:20can. I can talk with you about schedule. You can join of course.
- 9:24Clicking Clagg, I know he's been in a while. He literally said,
- 9:26what are you doing this week? And I'm like, I have some
- 9:28stuff coming up. Obviously I'll be seeing a certain person in this canteen on
- 9:31Friday. I have some other stuff going on. And he goes like,
- 9:33I don't care if it's at ten o'clock a night, I'm dragging your ass
- 9:35to a movie. You go see this movie like, okay, fine,
- 9:37so we still haven't seen it. I know, I I just have not
- 9:43had the time. Yeah, I get it. I haven't had the time
- 9:45yet. Maybe misunderstood and maybe no, no, no no, I did
- 9:50tell you I was going to see it. I just haven't had the chance
- 9:52I have. Like I said, it's I said. One of my goals
- 9:54this year is I want to go see at least two movies a month,
- 9:58and I have not done that yet this month. I saw one movie last
- 10:01month. Unfortunately I wasn't doing too But it's not just I'll go see it
- 10:05soon, but I'm still glad to see g You might have to start pirating,
- 10:07That's all I'm saying. No, are do we con down in those?
- 10:13Even know Canteen it's kind of the whole thing with scoundrels. But anyway,
- 10:15Yes, that is my plan for this weekend. I mean, it's
- 10:18been a rarity for me last few months, but all of a sudden,
- 10:20this week I might be seeing two movies. What's the other one? Dave
- 10:24Patau and Monkey Man. That is the one I really want to see because
- 10:30I've heard nothing but high praise for it. Yeah, we'll see, we'll
- 10:35see if it works. Out. I mean, but I do. I
- 10:37do think it's great, and I do think this is the new movie season.
- 10:41You know, there's a bunch of stuff coming out. Well, like
- 10:45I said, it's just we're way past. We're way past, I mean,
- 10:52unfortunately. I mean, you know, it happened. We're way past
- 10:56the pandemic ero and the whole scheme of the only movies that can make money
- 11:03or superhero movies is gone. Now, don't be wrong. It's still big
- 11:07franchise. Like Doing is a big franchise. Godzilla Versus con is a big
- 11:09franchise. I haven't seen the movie myself, but anyone but you, by
- 11:15all accounts, was a good movie, and it made a ship ton of
- 11:18money compared to what they spent on it. Just a simple, just a
- 11:22rom com like it. The whole notion that the one the only movies that
- 11:28make money today are something that has the word marvel in front of it.
- 11:30It's long gone. If you make a good movie, people will talk about
- 11:35it and people will go see it. That's just the way it is.
- 11:37So But I digress. What we're gonna talk about today? Oh yeah,
- 11:43did you know anything last week? Then? I just said from my TV,
- 11:48really actually be forward about last weekend as the church bells ring. Actually,
- 11:56if anything, that kind of that's the irony. You want to talk
- 11:58about who for whom the bell tolls? How about a certain person that owns
- 12:03this football team or two depending on your definition or the usage of the word
- 12:09football. And yeah, okay, let's just get to this ship. Let's
- 12:13get it down. If you listen to your fix, is that Olympith guit
- 12:20mix? WHOA not gonna lie? That was pretty good man. I'll still
- 12:26never forget. I think it was twenty fourteen. Pretty sure it was twenty
- 12:31fourteen. There was a random Fred Durst sighting in the crowd of a professional
- 12:35wrestling and w they put him in the front I think I think only think
- 12:39they paid him. I think he just happened to pay for the front row
- 12:41taket and like, hey, Fred durstys here? Remember him? And what
- 12:43does he do? Gives a double bird peg brother? Anyway, if you
- 12:50listen to episode one fifty eight last week, first of all, thank you.
- 12:54We appreciate it, appreciate your support, absolutely, appreciate you. Appreciate
- 12:58you coming to the canteen. I hope you were being smart and safe and
- 13:01drinking responsible absolutely actually did have a beverage last week. I don't know if
- 13:05I did anyway, So tonight we let me fast forward. So we're gonna
- 13:13we'll get to the sort of view of wrestling MANI here in a minute,
- 13:15because it's obviously the biggest wrestling weekend for all wrestling. Yeah yeah, yet
- 13:18all that fun jazz During that weekend, One decided to put out a press
- 13:28release or notice rather that they were going to air backstage footage from All In,
- 13:33essentially saying without everything, we're going to show you to see on punk
- 13:35footage. This is the footage that we had or the reference into the thing
- 13:41we discussed last week bout his interview where he discussed his altercation and backstage with
- 13:46one Jack Perry, and so they said they're going to release his footage,
- 13:50and of course the wrestling world went to buzz, why are you showing this?
- 13:52He's not even there anymore. You had your biggest legend and Adam Copan
- 13:56go out there says move past this shit, but you're so gonna show it,
- 14:01And then people were saying this is going to help improve the Young Bucks
- 14:03rivalry. Going on to the FTR and all this jazz Brian Alvarez was saying
- 14:09a report of Dressling journalist that like, look, I haven't seen it,
- 14:11but by all accounts, is going to show Jack Perry's side, and according
- 14:15to all sources, Jack Perry's side of the story actually makes Punk look like
- 14:18the bad guy. YadA, YadA, YadA. So Young Bucks go on
- 14:22tonight they do a little tease promo and and storyline terms. They were saying
- 14:26this caused them to lose a magicains MCR last season or last year. Yeada
- 14:31YadA YadA. And then they showed the one minute backstage footage and they actually
- 14:37showed the altercation between one Jack Perry and CM Punk now, which is just
- 14:43insane. Which all films subject to opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
- 14:50Everyone's't tired to take their sides. I can't remember who it was.
- 14:52Someone said they it doesn't matter. They could show see him Punk kicking
- 14:54a dog, not that he would. He's a huge supporter of adopting to
- 14:58not buying animals. And they said pretty much, no matter what you think,
- 15:03it's gonna be really hard to turn anyone's opinion because everyone has their opinions
- 15:05already made up, which is fair. I'm a fan of professional wrestling.
- 15:09It is no secret Patrick knowsis Patrick I were the biggest supports aded to when
- 15:13they first came out. We're still big supports Went now because we want all
- 15:16professional wrestlers to succeed. I don't know about you. This footage literally said
- 15:22everything that Punk said happened. He literally said Jack the only if anything,
- 15:31the only thing that maybe didn't come to us Punk said was he pretty I
- 15:37think he kind of said that, and I don't have the exact one from
- 15:39it that Jack came up to him. He went up to Jack, but
- 15:43all that was Punk put him in a headlock and it got broken up in
- 15:48what three seconds? There were reports saying that after Punk got him a choke
- 15:54called it was really Punk beat the shit out of him. The other reports
- 15:56saying Punk beat the chef up and then choked him. Nope, put him
- 16:00in a front face lock, got broken up in three seconds and then he
- 16:07walked away. And then what did this do for aw? Absolutely nothing.
- 16:18They are getting roasted online, roasted. There are people who are saying,
- 16:22poked dude, if he did that, did exactly what he said he did,
- 16:27and then Patrick uh Og Patron do you happen to have your phone on
- 16:33you at the moment I do. It's right next to me. Can I
- 16:36send you what? Mister Phil Brooks CM PUNK posted on Instagram right after the
- 16:45footage came out. Yeah, I can't wait. Great, check your Instagram.
- 16:52If you're a nineties kid, Hell, if you're anyone older than I'm
- 16:55gonna say twenty five. You remember some we were went to some very dark
- 17:00times as American citizens in the early two thousands, and then you remember when
- 17:03one George W. Bush went on a naval ship and then an iconic meme
- 17:08was born. Jesus, do you have the photo in front of you?
- 17:17No, Well, I'll just say it for you. See, I'm pump
- 17:21hosted a George Bush meme of mission accomplished. It's incredible because what did this
- 17:30accomplish for them? Nothing. I've only been in the business move It's like,
- 17:36if it would have been more impactful, I've gotten more eyes on the
- 17:41product if you hadn't announced it ahead of time, because obviously it's really cringey
- 17:48to do that, and oh my god, they tried to argue they had
- 17:56Tony Kan did it every earlier today, saying this was to help promote the
- 17:59dynasty Creeper you coming up and to help improve and get more nostalgia to the
- 18:03rivalry. The Young Bucks are in with FTR currently and what did happen After
- 18:08they showed the footage, FTR came out and pretty much said, why are
- 18:11we showing us? This is pointless? Yeah, this literally and again I
- 18:18support AW. I want all wrestling to thrive. This is literally WCW Thunder
- 18:22Vince Russ bullshit. And if you're a wrestling fan, you're like, exactly,
- 18:26if you're a wrestling fan, let me just say this. It's like,
- 18:30in terms of disappointment, and I'm gonna put up there. If you're
- 18:33a if you're a person that has kids in the nineties, this is the
- 18:37Seinfeld series finale. In terms of disappointment, this is how I met your
- 18:42mother disappointment. And by the way, I actually like how much mother?
- 18:45But this is how I much your mother ending disappointment. That is how dumb
- 18:48this was. Yeah, to move to make a employee of another company look
- 18:56bad, right right, a talent that's still present on you know, the
- 19:04program of another company, it's like trying to you know, trying. It's
- 19:12a dirty move. It's a dirty move, and it's really just embarrassing because
- 19:17it's just yeah, like like we've talked about, it just confirms his rendition
- 19:22of how things went, which doesn't do anything. And like people they've been
- 19:30losing like tanking, you know, viewership and attendance to life shows and things
- 19:37like that, and it's it's all because of a damaged reputation. It's a
- 19:42damaged perception of the company, right, and this has nothing to build goodwill,
- 19:49you know what I mean? It would have been you could have done
- 19:52so much more with it, Like you could have teased them showing the footage
- 19:56and then FDR interrupts that like backstage or some shit, you know what I
- 20:00mean, Like I saw the thing. Someone someone posted a video on line
- 20:06saying maybe they were loding this footage. It was literally a footage of words
- 20:11Charles of Uh. There was a backstage and shut that no one really remembers
- 20:17of when the FTR infront of the young Bucks backstage at all and saying hey,
- 20:19why did you shake her hands? And they apologize saying look heat of
- 20:22the moment, that's all was Oh, and maybe they're gonna lue to like
- 20:26all they're just talking shit out you know, just stuff like that. But
- 20:27no, it was just petty bullshit because they didn't like how they looked in
- 20:33the interview of the Punk game. But all they did, no, don't
- 20:36wor wrong. Punk went up to he con front of Jack, but he
- 20:41didn't beat this ship out of him. He put him in a front face
- 20:45lock for five seconds. It got broken up, and then Punk probably what
- 20:47looks like charge at Tony Khn, probably saying fuck you, like quit like
- 20:49he said he did, and he walked away. That's it. That's all
- 20:53that happened. I've seen worst fights in school cafeterias. I've seen I've seen
- 21:02I've seen worse. Hey, if anything, Okay, here's one. I've
- 21:04seen worst fights on Rough and RODDI for barstool and I like Rough and RODDI,
- 21:08but my god, my mom can punt for some of those people.
- 21:14So like, this is it is, this is It's just it's embarrassing.
- 21:19And all this does, it just increases and solidifies WrestleMania week. It as
- 21:23a huge success because, like I said, WrestleMania, what happened for WWE
- 21:27record numbers, We'll get to those in a minute. Record numbers, record
- 21:32everything heading to literally a new era, like I'm not gonna lie. I'm
- 21:34excited, but it got annoying when I heard, you know, the new
- 21:37era for a twentieth time, it got annoying. But they got AW did
- 21:40the same thing when they did. I get it, But nothing but huge
- 21:44excitement. Don't know where they're going. You have some ideas, but it's
- 21:45like you don't know which way they can go with it, Like again,
- 21:52there's so many things, and at AW, it's what do they do?
- 21:56They got a bumper rating from their biggest star they had eight months ago,
- 22:02who hasn't been there in eight months, and now they're getting shipped forward online.
- 22:07And they said they did to improve a current rivalry, which all it
- 22:11did was just make the company look stupid, which the company, by the
- 22:17way, already looks stupid. Because I don't know if you know this.
- 22:19Last week and I get it, they release some people because of budget cuts,
- 22:23that's what Tony Kahn claimed, but then insane said interview where he said
- 22:27that's why we release some people. He then also said we have to watch
- 22:30our budget because I also spent a restource contracts worth on one Leonard Skinnered song
- 22:41for one night, Like I think it was skinned. It might have been
- 22:45somebody else I called it, but still like really for an rohhow too,
- 22:49Like really, like what are we doing? Yeah, I mean at least
- 22:55trying to build something. He's trying to see it seemingly like we wanted to
- 22:59work build something good, but like you know, it's I don't know,
- 23:06there's been like a substance listeners to things like I don't know, and to
- 23:14think that you're kind of like losing traction and doing this that this stuff while
- 23:18you have Okata and Osprey on their contract, you have so much to work
- 23:26with m and you're spending time on this. It's just strange, man.
- 23:33Well again, it just it just it just it just puts a bigger It
- 23:36just puts a big hold because it's like this like all those scenes like people
- 23:37are saying w CW, I don't want to be because again, you and
- 23:41I are huge fans of professional wrestling. You're a huge fan of njp W.
- 23:45I used to be a huge fan of ae W. I still am.
- 23:48But it's just like when you see this bullshit because like I tried,
- 23:52like I tried to away from the dirt treet something that when you're wrestling fans
- 23:53hard to like. When you see some of this petty bulls, You're like,
- 23:56Okay, they can't be legit. And then it comes actually it comes
- 23:59to light on t It's like, really like, why don't I don't want
- 24:02to watch this shit? Like tonight, I was getting stuffed for my taxes?
- 24:04Are taxes preparing everything like that? Can you right all set? Make
- 24:07everything squared away and all that jazz? He's what happened. That took hours
- 24:11and hours, And I'm glad I did that. Why because i didn't have
- 24:15to watch it. I didn't have to see that bullshit And I just happened
- 24:18to get I happened to see in my phone go off saying, Oh,
- 24:19their promoter's gonna go live in five minutes. I'm like, oh, the
- 24:22only thing to promoted this week. Okay, let me watch. I'm like,
- 24:25I'm thinking, there's no way they're showing us unless Punk's an asshole.
- 24:29And all it did was solidified he told the truth. That's all it did.
- 24:36No, it's punked the asshole. Though in that situation, I mean
- 24:40probably went not going on again. Could have been handled differently, yes,
- 24:42but based on what he said, he it was his breaking point cause he's
- 24:45like, like, what more can I do? He keeps I keep asking
- 24:48the people are supposed to handle a handling it and they don't. And he
- 24:52kept saying, you're not gonna go way to handle it again, Like as
- 24:55as you and I talked about last week, our fathers sometimes it terms and
- 25:00as Patrick explained, what motherfuck actually means me, it's cussing somebody out.
- 25:03Doesn't mean the actual thing. You gotta motherfuck somebody. Which, by the
- 25:07way, my dad want to tell you to thank you for explaining that to
- 25:11the people. Yes, Oliver, you have a lot of nerve entering the
- 25:18canteena right now. You have some balls. Actually you don't. You got
- 25:22fixed, but you have some balls, dude. Anyway, Okay, yeah,
- 25:27I know I love you. I know you're going through a lie.
- 25:30Your life is so so hard. Anyway, Yes, we'll move on.
- 25:37I know we're gonna have Oh, by the way, last thing it's about
- 25:41Jack. We'll talk about jungle dipshit. Man. We're gonna have some fun
- 25:45Friday, aren't we. I got it, Like that's gonna like make my
- 25:49voice so hoarse, dude. And for those wondering, Patrick and I go
- 25:53into a new Japan show this Friday, Jack Perry is scheduled to appear and
- 25:56wrestle and it's in Chicago. It's gonna be lit. And here's the thing.
- 26:03I don't however, we can't take you with you beat this this This
- 26:07wasn't his decision. I'm gonna assume this wasn't his decision. This was Tony
- 26:08con the owner of a w's decision to show this footage. This just makes
- 26:12him look he wasn't get booed out of the building anyway. This is going
- 26:18to be John Cena nuclear heat. This is going to be bad, and
- 26:22they sold more tickets. This is gonna be bad. And I guarantee you
- 26:25tonight there I say this is John Tina ECW. It could be up there.
- 26:32It could be up there. Like this is going to be a massacre.
- 26:37And I don't mean that literally mean I figure of course, but like
- 26:40this is gonna be bad. Like I'm not joking. I already got lines
- 26:42in my head. I'll tell you after like, oh my god, this
- 26:45is going to be bad. And again, here's the thing. Does he
- 26:49does he have to blame himself a little bit? Yes, because he made
- 26:52the comment on TV when he didn't have to. But this I'm gonna assume
- 26:56again this wasn't his decision to air the foots because by some accounts he actually
- 26:59has had no communication with them, Like I'm very rare a certain stances after
- 27:03he got suspended for the fight, which it wasn't even a five just it
- 27:07was again, can we not it was a scuffle? It was a scuffle,
- 27:11was it? It was a dust up? Yeah, but like it
- 27:14was a rabble rouse must have been like pretty intense, like in a genuine
- 27:21pumping situation, so it probably felt pretty serious. I mean again, obviously
- 27:26if you're there and it had been in front of me in the heat of
- 27:29moment, totally get it. Any kind of work, any confrontation, it's
- 27:32always word. I mean there's times I unfortunately I've been at bars and like
- 27:33seeing two guys push each other, it's like, oh shit, here we
- 27:36go, you know what I mean, Like your heart right goes up,
- 27:37your drilling starts pumping like things. You know. It's like it's like that
- 27:41uh, you know that old phrase. You know when a cop shows up
- 27:44to a crime serier car accident. They go ask ten people what happened?
- 27:48They get twenty different stories. Ship like that. So but again this is
- 27:53this is black and white. There's little security footage, and I'm not gonna
- 27:56lie. I thought the security footag would be kind of Ship's actual pretty good.
- 28:02You can tell. You could see there's a lot of people in the
- 28:03shot, and you could see you can make out everyone, even Chris Hero
- 28:07made into parents. And if you're like, so anyway, moved on about
- 28:14that, we've gone about that. So I not that I was looking for
- 28:18because this is my first n J p W shols, so I'm looking forward
- 28:22to it. But like, this is going to be yeah, no,
- 28:23right, and it is quite an upgradeful. This is gonna be so much
- 28:29fun. Man, the cards looking good. Have you seen it lately?
- 28:32I have? And I this is gonna see Matt Riddles versus Xaber Jr.
- 28:37We're gonna see Mox Mox versus Ninetel for the w GP. It's gonna be
- 28:42good stuff, hometell boy stuff. He's from Chicago and he's gonna go against
- 28:52one of my favors. Uh. We's gotta make sure to tame our voices,
- 28:56keep them calm from when Jack comes out. Jack Perry versus Show.
- 29:02Let's talk about how over he's gonna be. He's gonna be. He's gonna
- 29:06be Chicago's second favorite son. Her third favorite was stop with Me. Yeah.
- 29:14There's also a bunch of crazy stuff. There's a Eddie Kingston versus Gabriel
- 29:18kid Right rules match where they've got three partners and they're not announcing them until
- 29:25they like, they're mystery until they come out. Mm hmm. That's gonna
- 29:29be nodi Q and Crazy Ship. So that's gonna be awesome. Uh,
- 29:34this is gonna be. That's a stacked card. It's a big card.
- 29:37Man got a lot of stuff on it and also just a quick thing just
- 29:44to show because the and the last I want to say about this and then
- 29:48we're gonna be done with it. Well, if anything, will we do
- 29:49the slip review next week for g v K. We'll move on next week.
- 29:55We'll do We'll do a quick little insurp saying like here's how the show
- 29:57was a w is now copyright striking videos showing the incident that they aired on
- 30:03TV and they don't and they don't copyright strike because they know they're getting shipped
- 30:07for it. Like Arieljjwani literally posted. He posted a video of his interview
- 30:14with punk, and he posted a little clip of the incident, and he
- 30:17got he got the copyright strike and Carol Holwanne's interviews with the whole thing that
- 30:22causes something that happened anyway moved aside a point, let's get to the gist
- 30:26of it. We're not gonna go through the entire thing. We'll do the
- 30:29whole week and we will break down a favorite moments and release pumps and all
- 30:30that stuff. And I do apologize to you because I know it's like for
- 30:33you, and I do apologize, and I don't worry about no. I
- 30:37appreciate being on forget to do a double. I know it's how good they
- 30:41too? Oh god? So I mean, yeah, pretty much. It
- 30:49wasn't Philly uh the first And again I made the I made the common earlier
- 30:55about the era thing was beaning win. But this is legitimately for those who
- 30:57think, oh it's fake, yeah, pretty deternment. But this was legitimately
- 31:00the first WrestleMania that had no decision making from Vince McMahon involved. That's not
- 31:07a just not a storyline thing. That's a legit thing because he is no
- 31:11longer the company. Because the allegations he's been selling. He actually sold some
- 31:17shares as recently as yesterday. He doesn't have pretty much. He doesn't have
- 31:19much left at all, So like he's getting rid of a bunch of his
- 31:25shares. If you don't know what the hell he's doing, it probably getting
- 31:26ready to parry some shut over. But yeah, what were your overall thoughts
- 31:37on the entire not just that the entire weekend, Because I don't know if
- 31:40you got to catch a Hall of just what you what are your thoughts on
- 31:44what you saw? Sorry? So top down, I mean, I I
- 31:49didn't catch the Hall of Fame, but I did see a lot of the
- 31:52clips. I did watch Paul him and speech for one that was pretty impactful.
- 31:57And uh yeah, and I think get was a great leading to the
- 32:01rest of the weekend, if you if you think so, if you followed
- 32:06my drift, because this was quite an extreme WrestleMania, but it was not
- 32:12just extreme, and that there were a lot of matches that involved uh crazy
- 32:15spots with tables and letters and all kinds of shit fighting in the crowd,
- 32:21you know what I mean. But it was a great display of like just
- 32:25really great wrestling when we got those opportunities to see just like some straight up
- 32:31one B one, no crazy stipulations, no bullshit like that. AJ Styles
- 32:38in l A. Knight put on probably the best you know match in that
- 32:45category and really just a concise, fast paced, well worked technical match man
- 32:54and it was great. I thought, Rio Ripley and Becky Lynch had a
- 32:58great match too, great finished too. And by the way, I want
- 33:02to give them their flowers? Did you hear? I'll have you heard what
- 33:06happened to both of them? So prior to the match, Apparently Becky Lynch
- 33:10had strup throat all week. Yeah, they mentioned it on the commentary.
- 33:15Apparently right before she went out, Becky Lynch had like a severe panic attack
- 33:20and she had one too, and she's been open about it, and she's
- 33:22like and she's like, you know what got do? I gotta do?
- 33:25And they both kicked ass right And again this is and for those rest no,
- 33:30this isn't the two thousands where it's like, oh, just chicks that
- 33:32have no clothes on fighting. No, like, these are two legitimate badass
- 33:37chicks beating the ship out of each other. We want to talk about some
- 33:45more female representation, Like we got the intering debut of Jake Cargo if I'm
- 33:50not mistaken. Teaming with Bianca, Bill Air and Naomi Yep, they had
- 33:55a crazy entrance that was you know, and I commented on this with Chuck.
- 34:02I was like, this pairing of at least Bianca and Jade Cargo,
- 34:07they could like really make, you know, make a statement as a unit
- 34:15in the Women's Tag League, can really push those belts, Like imagine them
- 34:20versus Oscar and Kyrie in a match and like a series of matches that are
- 34:22just a program in general, you know, and then you could really push
- 34:27that division. But I digress. But what it shows like they have there
- 34:31are multiple people. That's why it's like this is fun to watch. There
- 34:35are multiple people that they could literally give the ball to run to be at
- 34:39the top, and all of them would make sense. They have too many
- 34:45good people. It's a problem, all right, And I think that's when
- 34:47they're why they're kind of bringing the draft in again to kind of shake things
- 34:52up. Superstars shake up anyway, Sorry, I think A huge highlight,
- 35:06yeah, and that kind of took it to the extreme was that six pack
- 35:09ladder match for the tag Belts, and it had an unique twist on it
- 35:14where they were splitting the belts up, which I thought was a cool way
- 35:16to do that. But if I was in the judgment day, I'd be
- 35:20like, that sucks well. And I love the fact they didn't announce it
- 35:22because usually whenever you have double titles on the line, you just put it
- 35:24on one strap and it's like all right, whoper pulls one down wins.
- 35:27It's like no, there's like two seth of bolts, Like hey, you
- 35:30can think said right away. If you pull one, you get that one.
- 35:31If you call the other, get the other, you get both,
- 35:34you get both. Otherwise you can get just wanted. That's what they did,
- 35:37and I liked it they did that. They didn't announce it, just
- 35:40like hey, if you tuned it in here, oh wait wait what is
- 35:44it's like, yeah, this is what we're doing. Watch it. So
- 35:49yeah, man, I think dude, yeah, I think the grace Grayson
- 35:54Lawler and Austin Theory were First of all, A town down Under sounds like
- 36:00some other kind of entertainment if you know what I mean. Yeah, but
- 36:07uh yeah, I love the spot where Grayson's holding the belt and he gets
- 36:12power bomb through the ladder on the outside. This match had some crazy spots
- 36:16just like a lot of unique kind of spots with a new day bringing in
- 36:23the chair, and of course you got Gargano and Champa doing a little d
- 36:28X tribute, so you thought for sure, hey, they're gonna win.
- 36:32Right, There's no way, there's no way Triple H and Triple H is
- 36:37going to produce his first Trestlemania and not have the guys wearing his gear win
- 36:42or like his two favorite guys from like NXD ever and the one guy that
- 36:45looks just like him right now anyway, literally just just just just a right.
- 36:54I mean, I don't know the difference off head off top, but
- 36:58I was just I was number there. But but no, I mean Pete
- 37:01Dunn going through the table with the tornado DDT from Gargano look like one of
- 37:08the crazy and the most dangerous spots you'd ever see. Is he feeling,
- 37:14I don't know, well, and really for full disclosure, and here's why.
- 37:16Like what they're doing now, all these highlights we're talking about, you
- 37:20can go on their YouTube channel and you can watch it. They don't do
- 37:22the whole like I mean, yeah, there's some stuff they want you to
- 37:25go online and like watch it, like on their peacock and all that stuff.
- 37:28But there's like a lot of like, no, you can just go
- 37:30on their YouTube channel. It's all there. I think they really, but
- 37:32they're like they like, look like people are going to post us on YouTube
- 37:36or Twitter anyway, so let's just do it ourselves make some money off it,
- 37:38which is smart. So you know you can find all this stuff,
- 37:42all these highlights a talking about on their YouTube channel, Like I know,
- 37:45I literally saw one today. They literally posted a thirty five minute highlight for
- 37:47wrestlming a weekend and it's just probably all those crazy spots we're talking about and
- 37:51we're gonna be talking about here in a second. Sorry, yeah, you're
- 37:54good. But no, it was cool to cool to see our truth have
- 37:59his way that WrestleMania get his moment. Brother. At least they didn't treat
- 38:05him like a sack rider and just have him lose the next day. I
- 38:10mean, someone who did have a short range this weekend. Well yeah,
- 38:19well yeah, Drew McIntire finally got his his I furtherly caught my wordings in
- 38:22front of seventy thousand people. I'm gonna frame this on many water, gonna
- 38:29flame this on the wall. Although he had the moment where during the match
- 38:31he took his wife's phone and he put us and he posts on his Twitter
- 38:35board at work out the wall. But then, of course what happened my
- 38:37friend, Well, he got up in assault another coworker. Jesus Christ.
- 38:45This guy's a monster, this guy, this guy must be stopped at all
- 38:49costs. I mean, he keeps assaulting people at work. Again, he
- 38:52was pushed to his limit. I mean, imagine if you had a giant
- 38:55Scottish man crouching in front of you at a cock to face level and he's
- 39:00just gloating about how he took your moment or whatever. He's going to end
- 39:06his career, your career. When when yes, if you were from Chicago,
- 39:13when you get a little tweak and maybe lash out pissed. But basically
- 39:17it was well worked. First kudos to South for working the main event one
- 39:24night and going to open the show the next night. He was pretty banked
- 39:28up, but they played that into the story as well well done. I
- 39:31think it was an interesting type of match to put in the opening spot m
- 39:36HM, because it was so story heavy. But there's you know, it
- 39:39was a good investment payoff, and then you know, obviously drew one after
- 39:45like seventy five finishers sent picks in the face from a guy he got ways
- 39:52like a hundred pounds, but he gloaded in front of the good old Chicago
- 39:58native and punk swept his lego out from under him. He hit he landed
- 40:04on the table obviously because as I said, he was crouching in front of
- 40:06his face, very close in his personal space. I mean, come on
- 40:12and kiss the ship out of him, takes his armbrace off and smacks him
- 40:15in the face with it. And then what happens next, chuck o,
- 40:22good old cashion, good o cashing. You know what, good for him
- 40:25because you know what, it wasn't just some shitty cash in. He hit
- 40:29the on a fucking crazy d I've never seen a guy chokes laim another another
- 40:35guy with that much intense. That was an intense chokeslam. Correct, but
- 40:42good for them because we got a new world champion, right And you know
- 40:45what, I'm day. I came out with one of the most badass suits
- 40:51I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, that was a pretty That was
- 40:53a pretty sick ass suit. That is a little red maroonsh like black trim
- 40:58suit and have the like a crazy pattern to it anyway. But yeah,
- 41:04man, I thought that was really well done. I think that was a
- 41:07good payoff because you know, obviously we think, we think to ourselves,
- 41:10well, if Seth's getting banged up in this match and the main event,
- 41:14which we got to talk about the main events at the very end of this
- 41:16whole conversation, we got to save it, save the flavor. But we
- 41:23see him getting tossed around and the Rock's kicking his ass, and they we're
- 41:28like, there's no way he's going to win tomorrow. Oh man, there's
- 41:34no way. You know what. It wasn't a shitty send off to that
- 41:37story either, because you know, uh, the Judgment day is one of
- 41:42those weird situations where they were supposed to be heels but then they were just
- 41:45way too cool and we took over and everybody loves them, so they select
- 41:51like Dix and it's it's kind of interesting when they do pull off the money
- 41:54in the bank for like a face, that cash in for a face,
- 41:59because it's like, well, it's kind of like a fucking shitty under hear
- 42:02anything to do in the first place, and like target somebody at their weakest,
- 42:07But you know, it's a great payoff to Drew being such an overheel
- 42:12himself because we like we wanted him to get his comeuppance right as well.
- 42:15So it was a really well done, well done play, if you will,
- 42:20well done execution of a lot of different storylines, and it makes me
- 42:27wonder, Chuck, if we'll see them move away from like the money in
- 42:29the bank being like a being the similar stipulation to how it is now in
- 42:35the future with this new era coming in see Unfortunately, I would say yes.
- 42:38But unfortunately because of the moments like that where you have those big moments
- 42:42that go viral and then you literally have a pay per view that's just based
- 42:45off that that sells out every year, it's hard for them not to do
- 42:49that because I'm a ivocant that they need to away from it and just make
- 42:52it a like a match not a whole payer reviewed during the year. But
- 42:57I don't think they're going to do that, which and I want them to.
- 43:00I wanted to, like not even like get rid of, just like
- 43:01maybe cool lot a cool off for it once in a while, you know
- 43:05what I mean, Like it should be like it should be like one of
- 43:07the things that we're like, hey, he won on Sunday. So now
- 43:13there won't be another money in the bank bank winner for another at least a
- 43:15year. So just something something like that, like I don't know, like
- 43:19how else to explain, just something along those lines, right, but something
- 43:23like that. But yeah, I mean like yeah, I mean if also
- 43:28freeze at that spot, so we won't have another money in the bank holder
- 43:30until that next pay per view, so whenever that is. Who knows who
- 43:35could possible the next one? I think I think in July. I know
- 43:39it's in I know it's in Toronto. I know that. So but Kevin
- 43:45Owens money and anyway, yeah, no one thing we should and then we
- 43:52should we should get to the main to talk about the main things here,
- 43:54the main events. So obviously we saw are you going to talk about Bailey
- 44:02being an Egyptian that? Okay, I want I want to I want to
- 44:07say, I want to discuss that. So apparently she did try to get
- 44:12Paramore and they just couldn't do it. But the whole Egyptian entrance thing,
- 44:17I just didn't get it. I I've read some things like this is what
- 44:23she was going for, and I'm just like okay, like I I hate
- 44:28to say I don't want. I'm I'm a huge advocate for don't don't,
- 44:31don't just you know, break the glass and bust out the old bag of
- 44:36tricks. But she hasn't done it in six years. So the wacky flavable
- 44:38two men, I don't think it would have I think it would have gone
- 44:40over well that's just my opinion, but I mean the wrong. She deserved
- 44:45every moment she got because if you know anything about the story of Bailey,
- 44:46where she's been through some ship the last couple of years, and it's like,
- 44:50this was her moment. You deserved it. But I just the match
- 44:53I thought was great. I'm not gonna say it wasn't great, but I
- 44:57just thought this the entries or is like I was just like, okay,
- 45:00I'm a little confused here, but hey, whatever you do you Yeah,
- 45:06that's just my opinion. That's again my opinion alone. What about you.
- 45:13No, I thought the match was phenomenal as well. Yeah, I mean
- 45:17putting those two together is phenomenal choice. It's like just those two great talents
- 45:23that couldn't have a bad match if they tried, you know, and a
- 45:27good blend of styles too. But yeah, man, barely having that moment
- 45:35at wrestling. It is great and it's a good leading to this new era.
- 45:39She's a good champion to have, like similar to Kobe in a lot
- 45:45of respects like it fighting face champion. Mm hmm, you know, no,
- 45:51I it is. It was nice. It was just one of those
- 45:54things where unfortunately that the person she was fighting, the champion, was I
- 45:59hate to say its side character because they had so many people involved, just
- 46:01kind of like they just never felt the impost They never felt like the imposing
- 46:06big villain, but like but the arrival they try to make him feel like
- 46:10that. It was just like it's like, hey, what's it's already done?
- 46:14But no, again, I thought they did a good job with it.
- 46:16I'm surprised for all these title matches they had there wasn't much interference because
- 46:21like a lot of these people like have like quote unquote Front always went to
- 46:22the blood line stuff. Here in a second, well, I mean Randy
- 46:25Jordon uh I had to beat up that poor use the prime bottle speed Yeah
- 46:37yeah, yeah, I could have just recycled the bottle, but no,
- 46:40you had to pete the beat the ship out of it. I can't believe
- 46:46Logan Polla ended up coming out of a match. To be honest, no,
- 46:50I figured he was because you need to have sometimes you got to have
- 46:53a heel. You need to you need to have some champions retained. You
- 46:57need to have some You can't just say it's like all the good guys win,
- 47:00Yay, return of the Jedi. It's like, no, like this
- 47:02is Return of the Jedi at the end for obvious reasons, but like,
- 47:07yeah, you need to have you need to have some bad guys because at
- 47:12four longs the story because I think they're obviously going to l a Knight Paul
- 47:15or Paul Logan Logan, but let's get to the We got a shout out
- 47:21of Sammy's ain't really quick, jes how can I forget that? I'm so
- 47:24sorry. It just a complete beat down, and you know, coming back
- 47:32from the end of it through the end of it, it was I think
- 47:37it was a great, great match. They literally they literally they literally told
- 47:40what the storyline going up to this and the match. If they if anything,
- 47:45it's ironic, if anything, to make sas they took place in village
- 47:46is why they did it. This was literally rocky two mm hmm. It
- 47:51was literally rocky to a guy who had lost before was doubting himself or not
- 47:57Rocky too, Rocky three. Excuse me, it was Rocky three. Guy,
- 48:00guy who's a champion beats the guy. Other guy who's got the good
- 48:04tender is down himself. Guy that got beat by the champion is now his
- 48:07trainer. Something like that, and you know, just like that, there
- 48:09is no tomorrow all that stuff, And how does he beat the big champion
- 48:14by dropping on his fucking head on top of the turnbuckle? Literally, And
- 48:22here's the thing that was the craziest move I've It seems it's one of those
- 48:25things again like it's that new era because they're gonna they're gonna be a little
- 48:28more because it's again it's one of those seems like less means more. He
- 48:31has not done that. And what a brain buster is jump? And he
- 48:34did. It's just a super expense of like landing their guys back. He
- 48:36lands on his corn uncold head. But he did that on the top of
- 48:38the turnbuckle where he landed on the turn buckle, and that is a move
- 48:42he used to do back in the indies. And he hasn't been on the
- 48:45indies circain like what twelve years and he's never done that. And here's the
- 48:49thing, like they put it. They put that move in video games and
- 48:52stuff like that because it gains like like that, who cares. You can
- 48:54give a guy twenty pile drivers, he'll be fine. But like it's just
- 49:00it's one of those things that's like they don't do that because they don't want
- 49:01the press for concussions. But obviously when you have guys that are safe like
- 49:05that, who know the hell they're doing, you can Again, the risk
- 49:08is not as high as the reward. That makes sense. That's not like
- 49:13we're way to say the risk is worth the reward. That's why I should
- 49:15say the first I know, I said, I don't know. I try
- 49:17to make it something else. But yeah, that felt like a legitimate big
- 49:22fight feel where you even if you don't like savs A and you were gonna
- 49:27go behind the underdog. And it worked out and it was a phenomenal wrestling
- 49:30match. And I will say weather played a big factor. They were they
- 49:37were making fun of the weather of the first because it was apparently was fucking
- 49:39freezing, which again you're in the East Coast in April, like come on,
- 49:44But and that was one of the few matches on Night one where the
- 49:47crowd was like they got really into because of the story they told. There
- 49:52were other matches that definitely suffered because at night too. I think every match
- 49:55like thrived because the crowd was in because it was a lot warmer on night
- 49:59too. But yeah, no, that definitely was one of those. I
- 50:01mean that was I mean of the entire weekend, that was my match of
- 50:06the weekend. Off that makes sense, but yeah, it just it wasn't
- 50:09my moment on the weekend, but it was definitely worth the watch and worth
- 50:14the way. And again I thought I just thought I was just like I
- 50:17thought, like at certain points, I'm like, they're just gonna have him
- 50:20lose. I just like like the there's like like it's like Russell, it's
- 50:23wrestled Maine. I got the good guy win. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 50:25you can have this guy lose on a random bat pay per view.
- 50:29It's like now you can with this new era ship, you can because like
- 50:31it's like the whole like you don't know what's gonna happen kind of shit.
- 50:34But no, I'm glad they did what they did, shall we? Yeah?
- 50:42So if you had fun tonight, yeah, go ahead. So let's
- 50:46just say, yeah, that main event on net one Night one, you
- 50:52could tell the game done changed for real. So night would involved Cody Road,
- 51:00Seth Rollins against Roman Rings and uh the guy from the Tooth Fairy.
- 51:07He's part Scorpion, part scorp He's part Man, part Scorpion, he is
- 51:10part Rumble. He goes by meta names Brumbable, Hobbs, tooth Fairy,
- 51:17the Final Boss, the Final Boss. I did love the little arcade.
- 51:25I wasn't at WrestleMania. It was something I saw on Instagram or some ship,
- 51:31but it was like an arcade version of wrestle Lania for me. And
- 51:37it was like little polygon. Seth and Cody they fight and the Rock just
- 51:42comes up as a big Boss and kills him with one shot with the laser.
- 51:45Yeah you sent that to me, didn't you. I did, so
- 51:50I send you a lot of ship. I can't even so, but yeah,
- 51:52No, the simple tag match where the bad guys win, then the
- 51:57next night it's bad guy rules where anything goes and the good guys win.
- 52:00Then it has to be a good win on Man Mono Mono and the bad
- 52:05guys were the first night. This up the big night, but no This
- 52:07was fun because the biggest question was can the rock go because if you know,
- 52:13but wrestling in the last couple of times he's spoon in the last ten
- 52:15years, he's gotten hurt very badly and oh just so fake wrestling like it's
- 52:21okay, he'll pull up. Yeah. The problem is, though, when
- 52:22you're a huge movie star and you're having one hundred million dollar productions being halted
- 52:27because you got hurt, that focks a lot of shit up, which is
- 52:30why he didn't do a lot of other matches he was supposed to do because
- 52:34he got hurt. No. I thought he did a phenomenal job. By
- 52:37all accounts. He didn't get hurt, he was healthy, and I think
- 52:40they did a great job of kind of covering for having a match with a
- 52:45lot of let's say more misky spots. Oh yeah, similar like a Sammy's
- 52:51Aye gun thead finish or anything like that, with having like a bit more
- 52:58of an extreme feel to it. And at one point the fight spills to
- 53:02the outside, as they say, and the referee starts to count as you
- 53:07would in a match with typical rules. There's a ten count of ten the
- 53:12match would end and the points a finger and says, if you count,
- 53:17you're fired. I'm not fucking around. He's the rest you don't. He's
- 53:23like, keep fucking counting your If you keep counting, your fucking fired.
- 53:30That's crazy again, and it's big because again, this is the Dwayne Johnson
- 53:35is a legitimate member of the board of directors. Like it's not a joke.
- 53:37He's legitimately on the board. He has decision making not the decision making
- 53:40power, but like he has decision making partners like the business like like,
- 53:44hey, where's what we're gonna do with our businesses and future and all that
- 53:46stuff in terms of creative that he that he has no control because again,
- 53:51the guys who owned t KO are also in UFC, and they like like,
- 53:53look, we don't care what Dana White does. That is saying we
- 53:57will never interfere in saying with w That's what they claim. I'm sure,
- 54:00I'm sure there are I'm sure there are certain points and be like, hey,
- 54:04like we can't do this because of AB and C reasons, But like
- 54:07I'm sure they've only did like once or twice, so it's like, hey,
- 54:08we can't have this, dude fight because of a B and C or
- 54:10like like events you gotta leave for obvious reasons, you know. And here's
- 54:17the thing. I just remember. Caitlin of course watched both the main events
- 54:24with me, and she like, here's the thing. She she knows.
- 54:29She she's like a casual. She'll watch like the big shows with me or
- 54:31say if we if we go, we'll go, like you know, I
- 54:34told the sort of like how like I we went to Rock up a week
- 54:37ago because I had a hunch of Rocks and show up even he wasn't advertising.
- 54:38I'm like, if I don't go and the Rock shows up and she
- 54:42finds out, she's like, we didn't go, or if I go by
- 54:45myself and the Rocks go like really you know what I mean? Just ship
- 54:47like that and it was great. It was like awesome moment. But and
- 54:52she, you know, just a catch up form. She's like, huh.
- 54:55She goes four entrances. I can't really stand Cody Roads. I don't
- 55:00like seth Rollins at all. Roman takes forever and the Rock has this new
- 55:04cool interer. She goes like, this is gonna take like forty five minutes?
- 55:07Isn't it for them to come out? And she wasn't joking it took
- 55:09like twenty minutes just from the come out and then here's here's what she had
- 55:15me do a night. And we'll get to night too here in a second.
- 55:19So after the bell rain for the first night, they stood there for
- 55:22like a good three to four minutes just staring at each other. So what
- 55:24she asked me to do was she wanted me to record from the very second
- 55:28the promo end, or no, from the when the promo began, for
- 55:30like here's why Cody and Roman are fighting. I hit record and I was
- 55:36off by ten seconds by I make sure I added to my calculation, and
- 55:39it was okay, we're gonna go from here. We're gonna go from the
- 55:43promo to both entrances, to the announcer saying who's in the rain? To
- 55:47the bell rang and she goes, don't stop the clock to they actually touch,
- 55:51to the actually like punch each other or something like that. And it
- 55:53was like two minutes after the bell rang too, and I think the time
- 55:59was like I don't have any it was like it was like nineteen something.
- 56:04Oh my god, no again, like that's just wrestling for Big WrestleMania's like
- 56:07you have the big entrances, you have the big promos like that's what you're
- 56:10supposed to supposed to be peole hyped up for this ship. But yeah,
- 56:14like it's like like we really need to prom be five minutes long, Like
- 56:19I'm on the greatest promo of all time, John Cena or not John the
- 56:22Rock and Stone Cult t Boston Lambiscuit. In my way, it's like what
- 56:23two minutes? Think my White, Like you're not even a wrestling fan,
- 56:29and if you if you see that clip or that song, you know,
- 56:31if you hear my way, you know what that's from, Like they're so
- 56:37bitch Okay anyway, so night too, So yeah, so night too,
- 56:44Roman, Codymaker Huge, I have one. Sorry, I just wanted to
- 56:52comment on this because it was such such a badass moment to have the Rock
- 56:57come out and like all the flames and ship and he's in this The CGI
- 57:01lightning was a little much, but it paled in comparison to the giant CGI.
- 57:07Roman reigns in a T shirt celebrating or like spazzing out before the actual
- 57:14guy just walks out and it's like the CGI ship on the entrances Jump the
- 57:19Shark for me. This on this pay per view I gotta say it's it's
- 57:23gotta stop, it's gotta be toned down. That's the one thing from Kevin
- 57:27Dunn that still has remained. And I don't know why, because they've already
- 57:30paid for all of them. I guess I don't know. Yeah, they
- 57:34pay for a lot of shit they don't use anymore. Sorry, continue,
- 57:37And I gotta say I would rather have both of those cgi crazy bullshit things
- 57:45going off then to see Seth Rollins's entrance from A two with the crazy Acid
- 57:52Trip already gras parade skeleton band people, some of them were pirates. I
- 57:58don't know. It's just this giant parade of fucking crazy Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts,
- 58:05club beatles, fucking graffiti, Mark Neon. Anyway, it's like,
- 58:15how do you say it? So? Actually? Really quick? Can sidebar
- 58:27not pausing? Can I really quick? I want to go back to the
- 58:30one thing that happened about the surveillance footage, because that was the only thing
- 58:36they promoted for AW tonight, correct, Can I quickly? Can I quickly
- 58:40read you the results for AW Dynamite? And I want to make this clear,
- 58:46this is not a joke. This is posted by Forbes. Forbes legitly
- 58:52posted the AW Dynamite results tonight. Can I read these to you? Sure?
- 58:58All right? Made of the Soma Joe defeats Dustin Rhodes Co Main event,
- 59:04Mariah May defeats Anna j Okay, Okata defeats Christiano who I don't know,
- 59:13Shane Taylor Promotions defeats Jericho Hook and Shabbata. Oh okay, see him
- 59:20Punk defeats Jack Perry. No, this is actually posted by Forbes. Oh
- 59:30come on, Forbes forms by you is the company that was promoting and posting
- 59:38all these scenes about how AW is this one hundred million dollar company. I'm
- 59:42not saying they're not. A lot of people have disputed that, but like
- 59:45Forbes, like they've had their things have been like uh uh discredited and all
- 59:50that stuff. Like Forbes, I feel like it's like, okay, like
- 59:52Tony hands us the book, like we could figure out why to this prove
- 59:54it, but they said he's just so much money to me. This is
- 59:57years ago, by the way, but they actually posted see him defet it
- 1:00:00Jack Perry. That's hilarious. It's gotta be. That's gotta be and it
- 1:00:05is. No. I saw, I literally saw that I looked online myself.
- 1:00:10Oh god, all right, night too. Yeah, so just getting
- 1:00:19worse. Oh god, you don't see a punk is just literally sitting in
- 1:00:23his chair, and it's like, I'm laughing gas. Oh my god,
- 1:00:30what if he done Jesus? Oh I need I did. I didn't need
- 1:00:38that, but man, did I need that? Okay? Anyway, I
- 1:00:42kind of left my spirits a little bit. Anyway, so they have these
- 1:00:44huge entrances. H Cony Rhodes comes out with like triple H style ship with
- 1:00:47like crowns and ship, and his wife came out of nowhere and took the
- 1:00:51helmet off for the school. And by the way, I just I just
- 1:00:54confirmed. I checked Forbes of gently post and see I'm punk defeats Jack Perry.
- 1:00:59So but any wait, yeah, I mean that's what happened. There's
- 1:01:02no lies. We tell tell me when I done lies. We've seen the
- 1:01:07footage. We've seen the footage. Tony kind of food for his life,
- 1:01:12just because this is the first seven championship. God. Anyway, so the
- 1:01:17Andrews were pretty sick. Just we'll cut to the end because there's really nothing.
- 1:01:22I mean, it was just a regular match, you know, back
- 1:01:24and forth and then finally the Bloodline ship where interference happens. You know,
- 1:01:30you had your soul and by the way, I'm I'm not surprised I did
- 1:01:32it, but they literally did the exact same spot last year where Cody lost,
- 1:01:37just to get people going, oh, ship, we're doing this again.
- 1:01:39We're so hit the spike right and then the spear happened. He just
- 1:01:44had his kickout. Stats were maxed out for the match. Oh yeah,
- 1:01:47braziliancy was at level one hundred. Uh durability was level Captain America. John
- 1:01:53Cena speaking of John and then yeah, scene it came out and stopped solo,
- 1:02:00no, no, let me backtrack. Jay came out, hit Cody,
- 1:02:04Then Jimmy came out. Jimmy came out h Cody. Then Jay came
- 1:02:07out and speared Jimmy off the fucking stage tables, which, by the way,
- 1:02:12they missed some They missed some of the ship because if you actually watch
- 1:02:15the video, the tables kind of split and they land on some part of
- 1:02:17the concrete, which probably explained why Jay was all taped up the next night
- 1:02:22legitimately. Then yeah, so it came out, Then Sena came out,
- 1:02:28then Rock came out, beat up Sina and then this is just hold on
- 1:02:35really quick. Speaking of Jimmy and Jay, there's a reason we didn't bring
- 1:02:37up their match. Oh yeah, and let's just say him and spearing them
- 1:02:44off the stage through the tables was probably better than their mat I'd say,
- 1:02:49which is a shame to say because it's been one of the most antithi matches
- 1:02:52in a long time. I don't think it's over it, which it could
- 1:02:58have been. But anyway, yeah, anyway, So I mean again eight
- 1:03:01every weekend, there's always a best, there's always a worse, and like
- 1:03:05that's like not saying I've seen worse, but it was just like what the
- 1:03:07hype behind it was just like really that's it? So anyway, so yeah,
- 1:03:14oh sorry, as I can't here. So yeah, Rock comes out
- 1:03:15hit seeing the rock bottom cool they did the cool bolt just stair for five
- 1:03:20minutes kind of thing. Is it's like, oh my god, two big
- 1:03:22guys, nostalgia if you were were fanned twelve years ago. Yeah, you
- 1:03:24know, because Patrick and I we seen, we we actually there with their
- 1:03:27first moment felt forced. But then this is the moment that's probably the most
- 1:03:32disputed. So Rock Hitsena Zena goes down, rocks being up Cody actually know.
- 1:03:39Then the shield tease happened where seth rollins I guess gallops or one leg
- 1:03:45hops in the ring, I don't know, and got hit just to scare
- 1:03:47rock. Yeah, it was camera until after he was it with the ship
- 1:03:51right, and then the gone went off and the lights went out. Place
- 1:03:54went ape shit, I was I was surprised too. On a tar here
- 1:04:00out of nowhere did the hole gone, didn't come down, didn't take twice
- 1:04:02down the ramp, did the whole Apparently he was boom pretty he actually ran
- 1:04:08lights come up, takers sitting there being all dead man in his uh nine
- 1:04:13whatever it's called gear? What's it called nine to five? What the hell
- 1:04:17is the name of the company? I don't know. I know was that
- 1:04:21he was dressed like my dad when it was outside. Yeah, but he's
- 1:04:27sitting there is a dead man. He's got a skull camp on, a
- 1:04:29black hoodie and black pants and he choke slams the rock, lights go out
- 1:04:31and he goes away. Let's get to the chase here. There was obviously
- 1:04:39someone everyone else really wanted more absolutely now obvious. This It's one of those
- 1:04:45things like where do you have to go with the obvious option in this case?
- 1:04:50Yes, So every one of their mother was hoping to be Steve last.
- 1:04:55I'm not saying this point was undertaker, but it was one of those
- 1:04:57things where like as soon as that happened, and I'm like, this is
- 1:05:00all people are gonna be talking about now, is why wasn't Why wasn't in
- 1:05:05Austin? Because it's not gonna be a question people people will answer. It's
- 1:05:10one of those things. It's like, why wasn't this Austin? Again,
- 1:05:12there were some room were saying someone on his family's side was really sick or
- 1:05:15that he was, which is like, hey, shit happens, and you
- 1:05:17don't want you don't want to ruin the moment. But it was just like
- 1:05:19one of those things. I was just like, because and here's the thing.
- 1:05:23They're very good about putting Easter eggs in your mind, Like when the
- 1:05:27rocked up a couple weeks ago, there was literally a truck of seeing in
- 1:05:30Austin behind him, which is kind of like, oh, they're gonna do
- 1:05:32it to come on and then it must have taken. So that's why I
- 1:05:34think some musta came up. But it was just one of those things because
- 1:05:36like came was like, well that was cool, and I was like,
- 1:05:40yeah, She's like what am I I mean? I mean it was still
- 1:05:47cool. Crowd popped, but then uh more schmas more back and forth and
- 1:05:53then yeah, Cody finished the story after three Crossroads because you can't get out
- 1:05:58a three, Patrick, you can get it too, you kick out a
- 1:06:00three. So yeah, and then had the moment you know, this has
- 1:06:10been what a three year build up? And actually, I don't know you
- 1:06:13ever hear ever listened to the podcast my Mom's basement. No, it's a
- 1:06:16barcelol. It's actually it is. I'm not gonna it's one of the inspirations
- 1:06:19for this podcast. In a way. It's a guy named Robbie very like
- 1:06:25kind of like pulp culture nerdish kind of podcast a little bit does talk some
- 1:06:28sports to here and there, mostly MMA, and they once interviewed Cody and
- 1:06:33they said, all right, if Wrestman three Day for you was your new
- 1:06:36hope, last year was Empires, this year your return of the Jedi,
- 1:06:40and that's pretty much the best way to accompany what this Cody wrote some of
- 1:06:45the last three years has been and yeah, he everyone, and that's a
- 1:06:48cool thing. It was like a wrestling had ten. Everyone came down to
- 1:06:51celebrate, Cody got to hand the title to his mom. People are balling
- 1:06:58their eyes out, you know, I mean Kumbai, Yeah, you know,
- 1:07:00play the play the h end or celebration music at the end and return
- 1:07:04of the Jedi. So that was a really really great moment. No,
- 1:07:11it was. And again it's one of those things where again like long term,
- 1:07:13long term storytelling does work if you do it right now. There were
- 1:07:20a lot of interferences, not just in this match of course, like with
- 1:07:23a lot of things over the last couple of years with this, but it
- 1:07:25worked on the end, and it's exciting because it's one of the things that
- 1:07:30it's like, hey again, it's like Star Wars. You had this big
- 1:07:34thing, it paid off very well, but now you want to do more.
- 1:07:43But what do you do to try to not saying replicate what we just
- 1:07:46did, but to try to replicate the success that we just did because it
- 1:07:48was it worked out, so I mean again, then they said it's the
- 1:07:50biggest Restman they ever done in terms of business and everything like that. I
- 1:07:54read a thing I think it was it might've been from Forbes or some other
- 1:07:57thing they said, like Cody's merchandise alone was over a million and a half.
- 1:08:00That's insane. That's just Cody. That's not including punk rock Roman Jay.
- 1:08:09Our truth, Our truth is hot cellar. Right now, of course,
- 1:08:15put the belt on. I mean, of course it's Friday, will
- 1:08:17go get her Scapegoat shirts? Right. No, but you've seen his entrance
- 1:08:24gear, like when he comes to that. I haven't seen I haven't seen
- 1:08:28any of it. It's you're gonna lose your ship anyway. Let's just say
- 1:08:34already I'm gonna hate him, aren't I That's just let's just say he made
- 1:08:40Sammy Gobar's pandemic. No, anyway, why would you say that I hate
- 1:08:48here? I don't. And so, yeah, it was I thought overall
- 1:08:55it was a great WrestleMania. I think they then they've kind of lose it.
- 1:09:00They've learned or less and they gotta be more. And again there's something
- 1:09:03they do it they do like the super not like the Super Bowl, but
- 1:09:05like some other big sport, like like the college basketball tournaments. Essentially the
- 1:09:11city's bid on it for every year, and like, hey, who gives
- 1:09:15us the most money? And that's where we're gonna go and this year it
- 1:09:16was Philadelphia, and I think after this year because and there's the thing they
- 1:09:21even acknowledge multiple times and the night too that like the weather kind of not
- 1:09:27killed the first night, but like it definitely hurt it. Yeah, because
- 1:09:32because a lot of people are saying, oh, it wasn't that loud,
- 1:09:34Like I just saw like something like, oh the crowd was I thought the
- 1:09:38crowd was decent at some parts, but there's other parts who're like, oh,
- 1:09:41this crowd is miserable. So like like there were people saying they got
- 1:09:45wind burns and shit because it was cold and stuff like that. But it's
- 1:09:47like that's why I think like they got to do dome shows or as like
- 1:09:51one person said, just if you're doing it like in Philadelphia and New York,
- 1:09:54you just do it at the end of April early May, Like who
- 1:09:57cares, right, Like they've done wrestled Mania is later in April or have
- 1:10:00they done him in March before there was like one like the second week of
- 1:10:02March like like twenty years ago. Like yeah, man, it's like you
- 1:10:09can you can change those days. They're not they're not setting stone stone right,
- 1:10:14Yeah. No, he's just usually in this new era. With that
- 1:10:21being said, one quick thing I want to ask before we get to the
- 1:10:24final review here. Did you buy a chance catch Paul Hayman's induction? I
- 1:10:29did? I mentioned that earlier in the show. Yeah, faster phenomenon.
- 1:10:34That was a master question. Yeah, I mean not if you have to
- 1:10:36censor. But he probably are pissed off about that. But yeah, yeah,
- 1:10:45he's kind of this guy that's stuck around, you know what I mean,
- 1:10:47and really done at all, both in front of and behind the camera.
- 1:10:54If you if you feel what I'm saying, and he's you know,
- 1:10:59he loved. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame truly. And
- 1:11:04then with that being said, what would again, I apologize out for asking
- 1:11:08that again, what would your overall thoughts and or review before for WrestleMania as
- 1:11:16a whole? And what was your favorite match? I mean, I think
- 1:11:18we were a lited to what it was. But just for the blisters before
- 1:11:20you get out of here for the evening, I'd say this is probably an
- 1:11:29A A. I don't he A. I think I think it have to
- 1:11:35be a solid ay for me, you know, I think there were few
- 1:11:41low points and they really stuck to the action. There wasn't a lot of
- 1:11:45wasted time and it was phenomenal. Dude, I thought it really was.
- 1:11:53I'd say that, like the main event really delivered in his payoff and the
- 1:12:00culmination of the story that we've been so invested in, and it you know,
- 1:12:03it's really just and throughout like that. The match quality was really high,
- 1:12:09right, you know what I mean? So yeah, absolutely, hey,
- 1:12:15I will agree with you. I will second then I will give it
- 1:12:16an a as well. Some of the low points on this year's WrestleMania are
- 1:12:26at best media mid or really good moments on some other Wrestlemans that we've seen,
- 1:12:30so that gives you an idea. They've been very I mean, there
- 1:12:34really hasn't been any crappy ones the last like I mean, there's I mean,
- 1:12:36obviously the pandemic once sucked for obvious reasons. There wasn't anything one's fault.
- 1:12:42There's always been some other there's been ones that have been better than others,
- 1:12:45but the last ten years they've been pretty pretty above average. But I
- 1:12:49think this one definitely stands like, hey, like this is like, I
- 1:12:53know, we talked a joke about this definitely new era and you could see
- 1:12:56that, because it's just one of those scenes where there was much scope and
- 1:13:00everything that was going on from the and the and what helps you was this
- 1:13:02the production is just so much better, Like my God. Like again,
- 1:13:08it's one of those things like like if you're a wrestling fan, but watching
- 1:13:10w for god, either forty years, twenty thirty, whatever the hell it
- 1:13:14is, you've just seen some shitty things and you might just become as to
- 1:13:17be used to it. And then you just watched this year and it's just
- 1:13:20like, oh my, it's night and day. How good it looks so
- 1:13:25damn good. But I know, I thought everything and again I thought both
- 1:13:29main events were fantastic. Again, I thought they had a huge challenge because
- 1:13:31it was no secret the Night one main event was more was bigger or more
- 1:13:39pushed rather than Night two for obvious reasons. But it's just like I thought,
- 1:13:42the way it paid off at Night two it made it worth it because
- 1:13:45yeah, just everything was like sucsessed. There wasn't really many major hiccups.
- 1:13:50And I'm just interesting where they go from here on out for the next year
- 1:13:54and from and to beyond, because like I said, there's a joke again
- 1:13:59flastm houseats era. But it's just it's gonna be interest easy where they go
- 1:14:03with this, because it's no longer the whole in terms of who's in charge.
- 1:14:06Oh hey, we're the only thing. Now we're gonna complacent. It's
- 1:14:09like, oh no, we love doing this shit, let's do it.
- 1:14:11And then like this shouldn't happened tonight that we alluded to earlier caring for was
- 1:14:15on one fifty eight. It's just it's it's just they're already on fire and
- 1:14:20it's just now they just poured a giant thing of gasoline on top of it
- 1:14:25in and the fire is just even bigger, and the fire can't get be
- 1:14:28a contained because it's just it's insane. And again, how many when was
- 1:14:34the last time you saw the W show where they said professional wrestling? How
- 1:14:39many times? I always like to say they used to joke back in the
- 1:14:43day the E stands for entertainment. Yeah, but the W before the E
- 1:14:46is wrestling, And I'm glad they're getting back to that. Not that you
- 1:14:49can't have entertainment because you got to butt the end of the day, Like
- 1:14:53it all comes out to what happens in the rain. So like, how
- 1:14:55do we make it work, and clearly they have. So my kudos and
- 1:14:59cheer is to them and uh age, I mean this is my cheers and
- 1:15:03kudos a w because they have a lot of work to do at at any
- 1:15:11rates. We will now get out of here. I I appreciate you saying.
- 1:15:14I know you said you got a lot ahead of you, So I
- 1:15:15want to let you get out of here because I I need you to go
- 1:15:17to bed too quickly. I want to give another quick toast. I know
- 1:15:21I loved to it. Last week a good friend of the show, uh
- 1:15:25Devin, had a loss of his family recently. They're doing okay. We're
- 1:15:29gonna be doing the whole proceedings here in the next couple of days. So
