- 2:03Speaker 1: we are we have semi live, We're semi live. But yes,
- 2:07Speaker 1: John Cena has I don't know if I would consider
- 2:11Speaker 1: John Cena a full heel.
- 2:14Speaker 2: He's a human.
- 2:15Speaker 1: He is. He is a human if you haven't justified human.
- 2:19Speaker 1: That was That's what I was getting ready to get
- 2:21Speaker 1: get into. Is John Cena's promo that he just did
- 2:25Speaker 1: on Monday Night Raw. It did not come across like
- 2:29Speaker 1: one heel. I I empathized with him, Yeah, like I
- 2:34Speaker 1: was like, okay, I get it, Like, man, you really
- 2:36Speaker 1: like he got drug through the ringer for years and
- 2:41Speaker 1: he's just he's like, yeah, I'm just a human. He's
- 2:43Speaker 1: not a heel, He's not a face John Cena.
- 2:47Speaker 2: A lot of people who were like, oh, he copied
- 2:49Speaker 2: Roman Reigns promo where he's like, I'm not a good guy.
- 2:52Speaker 2: I'm not a bad guy. I'm the guy. What's like? Okay, sure,
- 2:55Speaker 2: the first two parts are basically the same, but the
- 2:57Speaker 2: last part, the intent is completely.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Different, exactly Like, I don't that is not how I
- 3:04Speaker 1: took his his promise.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I saw the similarity in it, but I didn't.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Take it that. Yeah. I mean, wrestling has been around
- 3:12Speaker 1: for so long, you are going to see similarities in
- 3:15Speaker 1: certain gimmicks, certain stories, certain matches like I think the
- 3:21Speaker 1: what was it was? On Dark Side of the Ring,
- 3:23Speaker 1: which first episode comes out March twenty fifth, So that's here.
- 3:26Speaker 1: In a couple of days, Hell in the Cell called it. Yep,
- 3:30Speaker 1: Mankind versus the Undertaker. They're going, that's the very first
- 3:33Speaker 1: episode they're going to talk about. Yep, Josh called it.
- 3:37Speaker 1: But it's just like in the of some Dark Side
- 3:41Speaker 1: of the Ring episode, Jimmy Cornett's talking. He has a
- 3:43Speaker 1: book that has like everything that happened in professional wrestling,
- 3:48Speaker 1: unsty of its existence, and really it has been rehashed. Yeah,
- 3:52Speaker 1: throughout the.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Years, and it happens basically any kind of medium of entertainment.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody has their what's the word I'm looking for inspirations? Yeah,
- 4:02Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I were watching an old episode
- 4:05Speaker 1: of Saturday the other day and it had Andy Kaufman
- 4:08Speaker 1: in it, Uh, nature Boy, Buddy Roger, Buddy Rogers, And
- 4:13Speaker 1: as soon as I heard Nature Boy, immediately was taking
- 4:16Speaker 1: I thought was Buddy Rogers. Yeah, so then I was
- 4:18Speaker 1: Pandora's boxes open, and I'm sitting there explaining to her
- 4:20Speaker 1: about you know, Rick Flair's Nature Boy, but also Buddy
- 4:24Speaker 1: Rogers's Nature Boy. But Rick Flair's gimmick has inspired a
- 4:27Speaker 1: lot from Buddy Rogers and this and that and Nanny
- 4:28Speaker 1: Andy Yah, Pandora's box is closed.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's like in music, there's a there's like
- 4:32Speaker 2: a soul saying that nothing really original has been written
- 4:35Speaker 2: in years and years. That's just how you write it
- 4:38Speaker 2: differently from the other person, essentially.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, creativity deflements and you can only place
- 4:44Speaker 1: only do so many spots.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Going so many different rhythms.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. You know, you can only do so much stuff,
- 4:51Speaker 1: change it a little bit, add your own little flavor
- 4:55Speaker 1: to it. But yeah, I did not take the John
- 4:59Speaker 1: scene a promo as a heel. I didn't take it
- 5:04Speaker 1: as a face either. He yes, he was simply a
- 5:08Speaker 1: human and a.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Lot of people have, Yeah, a lot of people who've
- 5:13Speaker 2: turned he have done like a very similar promo like
- 5:15Speaker 2: turning on the fans kind of thing. But it was
- 5:18Speaker 2: like a reaction to what's opposed to years and years
- 5:21Speaker 2: and years of building to this exactly.
- 5:24Speaker 1: And in a way, it's sort of I felt like
- 5:28Speaker 1: this promo broke the fourth wall more than previous promos
- 5:33Speaker 1: with this type of formula because of just how and
- 5:37Speaker 1: I don't know if you picked up on this, it
- 5:38Speaker 1: was kind of like there was a place sitting there.
- 5:41Speaker 1: He's going, you're the let's go see a guy that's you,
- 5:44Speaker 1: And he's basically saying that, you know, the let's go
- 5:46Speaker 1: seea people are just as much to blame as the
- 5:50Speaker 1: scena sucks people. And does that sound like Josh Yeah,
- 5:55Speaker 1: see him punk the pipe Bob when he says people
- 5:58Speaker 1: are just as much to blame who meet him at
- 6:00Speaker 1: the airport at four o'clock in the morning and shove
- 6:03Speaker 1: a promo in his face and everything and just rehashed
- 6:06Speaker 1: a little bit. Don't know if that's exactly where that
- 6:08Speaker 1: came from, but that definitely gave the vibe there of
- 6:11Speaker 1: that especially a man. We were talking about that off
- 6:17Speaker 1: the air and I was getting ready to start going
- 6:19Speaker 1: into it. I was like, no, we got to talk
- 6:21Speaker 1: about this on the show man. That little kid, Yeah,
- 6:25Speaker 1: that poor little kid. He imagine this, Josh, all right,
- 6:29Speaker 1: you live in a foreign country, you live in in Europe.
- 6:33Speaker 1: WWE is from America. They finally come to your town
- 6:39Speaker 1: or close to your town, and your favorite John Cena,
- 6:43Speaker 1: who even if WWE showed up, you didn't know if
- 6:45Speaker 1: John Cena was going to be there, but you find
- 6:47Speaker 1: out John Cena is going to be there and he
- 6:50Speaker 1: singles you out. That kid's look like his whole world
- 6:55Speaker 1: was shattered when they cut the camera to him.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Did you see a WDA posted video rate before that?
- 7:00Speaker 2: He's like, I love you John Cena.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Oh no, no, John, you know maybe he is a heel. Yeah,
- 7:14Speaker 1: but yeah, so John Cena, like I said, it comes
- 7:17Speaker 1: out he says he is. He's not a heel, He's
- 7:19Speaker 1: not a face, He's a human. He talked about how
- 7:23Speaker 1: the fans did nothing but take from him just what
- 7:26Speaker 1: can I get? What can I get? What can I get?
- 7:29Speaker 1: That whole part saying that he is in a toxic,
- 7:33Speaker 1: dysfunctional relationship with the let's go see the people, including kids. Yeah,
- 7:38Speaker 1: that's the child that we're talking about. Sorry, kiddo, I
- 7:41Speaker 1: know that you're probably not listening to this because you
- 7:43Speaker 1: don't speak English, but you know, sorry, I mean from America.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Sena even went as far as to say that we
- 7:51Speaker 1: will get no new gear, no new music, because everyone's
- 7:55Speaker 1: time is up and his time is now.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Yeah, like it would have been cool to hear like
- 8:01Speaker 2: Bad Guy or even the Doctor Thug Domin's theme or
- 8:03Speaker 2: you know, changes gear, but it makes sense to not
- 8:06Speaker 2: do it because it's what we would have wanted exactly.
- 8:10Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. When I watched it, I felt
- 8:11Speaker 1: I felt a person person like that was personal to
- 8:14Speaker 1: me because like, man, we were talking about new gear
- 8:16Speaker 1: and stuff on the show. Here comes Sena out like no, no, no, no,
- 8:24Speaker 1: but no, I think that I think that is uh
- 8:28Speaker 1: smart actually to do it that way, have him come
- 8:30Speaker 1: out looking like regular old John Sena. Yeah, but it's
- 8:33Speaker 1: not the same Johns.
- 8:34Speaker 2: I'm not changing you changed. Yeah.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's It's true. Cody did come out to
- 8:40Speaker 1: tell Sena he was looking forward to wrestling the real
- 8:42Speaker 1: John Cena, and I won't say exactly what he said
- 8:44Speaker 1: to him, but it's not this whiny version of him. Yeah.
- 8:48Speaker 1: And you noticed when Cody came out, John didn't really
- 8:51Speaker 1: have a whole lot to say.
- 8:52Speaker 2: He was getting ready to and Cody cut him off.
- 8:54Speaker 2: I guess they're just waiting to build that more.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it could could very well be. I know
- 9:01Speaker 1: that I don't have the exact days we're here in
- 9:03Speaker 1: front of me, but the next three or four dates
- 9:08Speaker 1: for John Cena are all on Monday Night Raw until
- 9:11Speaker 1: he gets to WrestleMania. Yeah, and then after WrestleMania, it's
- 9:15Speaker 1: all SmackDown. Yeah, except for I think he's part of
- 9:18Speaker 1: Saturday Night's main event at one point probably, So can't
- 9:22Speaker 1: say yay, can't say nay. Is this a sign that
- 9:26Speaker 1: Sina might get that seventeenth world title?
- 9:30Speaker 2: Do you think so, Josh, He's gonna do it. It's
- 9:32Speaker 2: gonna get the big one.
- 9:34Speaker 1: I think I think there's a strong possibility for that.
- 9:37Speaker 2: I think you get put the title on him, let
- 9:39Speaker 2: Cody take some time off, and then maybe they have
- 9:42Speaker 2: a rematched summer Slam.
- 9:43Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe or cause Randy Orton's part of SmackDown, right, Yes,
- 9:50Speaker 1: he's part of that brand, the Undisputed World that the
- 9:53Speaker 1: ww title, yeah is SmackDown. Yeah right, Why not just
- 10:00Speaker 1: have a heal John Cena win the title, hold on
- 10:03Speaker 1: to it for the rest of the year. Follow me
- 10:06Speaker 1: on this, hold on to it for the rest of
- 10:08Speaker 1: the year and leading up to like, because he says
- 10:12Speaker 1: after December he's done, He's not coming back. That's what
- 10:15Speaker 1: he says. That's what he says.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Yeah, salmon jackets. So let's see.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Yeah, he comes out with a salmon jacket. You know
- 10:21Speaker 1: that he lied. Yeah, he lied straight to your faces,
- 10:24Speaker 1: including you child.
- 10:26Speaker 2: In particular, what color shirt was he wearing when he
- 10:30Speaker 2: announced his retirement.
- 10:32Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think it was sam and color,
- 10:36Speaker 1: though I would. It would be hilarious if he actually
- 10:39Speaker 1: got like the actual salmon suit from Mark Henry just
- 10:41Speaker 1: got a retailer to fit him. Yeah, that would be
- 10:44Speaker 1: that would be quite hilarious.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Or even as blue suit.
- 10:47Speaker 1: That's true, that's very true. But anyway, so follow me
- 10:50Speaker 1: on this. Yeah, John Cena wins gets a seventeenth world title.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Cody had good run, He had good year long run
- 10:56Speaker 1: with the title. John Cena is the champ. Keep John
- 10:59Speaker 1: Cena as the champ to towards the end of the year.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Just keep having him win and win and win and win.
- 11:06Speaker 1: And who's the one person that can take the title
- 11:09Speaker 1: off of Johnson And it's not Cody.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Orton.
- 11:15Speaker 1: A baby face Randy Orton has to step up and
- 11:18Speaker 1: take down a heel John Cena to take the title
- 11:23Speaker 1: off of him before Sena is gone out the door
- 11:26Speaker 1: with the title. Very money in the bank twenty eleven esque. Yeah,
- 11:32Speaker 1: at least that's what I'm thinking of my head.
- 11:34Speaker 2: I mean, it could work also, but uh, who knows
- 11:37Speaker 2: that we might see them face off at Backlash because
- 11:39Speaker 2: that's Insant Louis and that's Orton's home town.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's true, that's true.
- 11:42Speaker 2: They could be a first encounter, of course.
- 11:44Speaker 1: That could that that very well could be. Went hold on,
- 11:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna look this up. When is Backlash? We were
- 11:49Speaker 1: talking about this off the air actually mid mayish, Yeah,
- 11:52Speaker 1: exactly May tenth. Wow, it's only a few weeks after WrestleMania,
- 11:58Speaker 1: huh okay, and it is it's in Saint Louis, Missouri.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Learn miss that one. Yeah, I mean Ohio rocking out.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's Clark. Oh yeah, that's right. You're going
- 12:10Speaker 1: to do the festival up in Ohio.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I enjoy safe travels and all of that. Yeah,
- 12:15Speaker 1: and you know, of course we'll do predictions. We looked in,
- 12:19Speaker 1: we looked in the next month and Josh and I
- 12:21Speaker 1: also found this out off the air next month. There's
- 12:24Speaker 1: four weeks in four episodes in the month of April
- 12:27Speaker 1: for our show. Three of them are prediction shows. So
- 12:30Speaker 1: my title, I don't know of them will have it,
- 12:32Speaker 1: even though I'm the current champion. We'll see, we will see.
- 12:36Speaker 1: But yeah, there is a possibility that could be the
- 12:38Speaker 1: first time that they meet. Maybe just having cross paths there.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I don't know. And this also determines it's also like
- 12:44Speaker 1: hangs on the fact if Sina wins the seventeenth world title. Yeah,
- 12:49Speaker 1: which I just this is just my opinion on this.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Take it for what it is. I think there is
- 12:54Speaker 1: a strong possibility that could happen.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Yeah, because truth be told, Cody has had a good run,
- 13:03Speaker 1: but I don't think it started off cold and it
- 13:09Speaker 1: has slowly.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Built Yeah, there's been a couple of good feuds within it,
- 13:13Speaker 2: but overall it hasn't been quite to the level I
- 13:17Speaker 2: think people would have liked it.
- 13:18Speaker 1: It's been exactly like there was uh yeah, yeah.
- 13:25Speaker 2: I lost the straight up thought there Kevin Owens. That
- 13:27Speaker 2: was a good one, this one with John Cena. But
- 13:29Speaker 2: before that, I mean there was solo, but.
- 13:33Speaker 1: That was yeah, that one that was still like remnants
- 13:37Speaker 1: of the blood. It was just a fallout from that. Yeah. Yeah,
- 13:41Speaker 1: he didn't he hasn't really had like it's it. It's
- 13:46Speaker 1: going to be. I think it's going to be memorable
- 13:47Speaker 1: because of what led up to it. It's another one
- 13:50Speaker 1: of those cases of what the chase to the title
- 13:54Speaker 1: was more compelling than the actual title run. Yeah, which
- 13:57Speaker 1: happens from time to time. But but yeah, have Cody went,
- 14:01Speaker 1: dropped the belt, get him out of the main event picture,
- 14:04Speaker 1: let him cool off a little bit, and then just
- 14:06Speaker 1: have he'll Sena just do his thing throughout the year.
- 14:09Speaker 1: I don't know, that's just my opinion on it.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Here would be a fun fact, So technically the Universal
- 14:16Speaker 2: Championship is still active under the undisputed title. If John
- 14:21Speaker 2: Cena wins the Undisputed title. He'll be the only wrestler
- 14:24Speaker 2: to have held the previous World Heavyweight Championship, the WW Championship,
- 14:28Speaker 2: and the Universal Championship by a technicality.
- 14:33Speaker 1: I never even thought of it like that.
- 14:34Speaker 2: I've been wondering this for years of who's gonna be
- 14:37Speaker 2: the first person to hold those three titles? And now
- 14:39Speaker 2: it's like, well, well they got another World heavy champions who's
- 14:41Speaker 2: gonna be the first one? The whod all four of them?
- 14:43Speaker 2: It's no harder with the Universal titles sort of out
- 14:45Speaker 2: of the picture.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I mean I don't know it's it.
- 14:49Speaker 1: I mean, it's a possibility.
- 14:51Speaker 2: My thought on that, just because those are the three
- 14:53Speaker 2: now four original World Championships ww's created.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. We I mean see and like
- 15:00Speaker 1: I said, a lot of this hangs on whether or
- 15:02Speaker 1: not seen it can even beat Cody or they even
- 15:04Speaker 1: pulled the trigger on that. I can see it. I
- 15:07Speaker 1: think it is a strong possibility, but who knows. But
- 15:10Speaker 1: we will see. WrestleMania is April nineteenth and twentieth. Is
- 15:16Speaker 1: it Night two? Are they fight? Are they gotta be? Yeah?
- 15:20Speaker 1: I think it's got It's got to be the main
- 15:21Speaker 1: event of night too. I mean, I know that jay
- 15:24Speaker 1: Uso is going against Gunter and there you know he.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Said he doesn't care where he's on the car as
- 15:28Speaker 2: long as he's on it and beats to go there.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I I understand that from a KFE perspective,
- 15:35Speaker 1: but like from a personal standpoint, you win the world rumble,
- 15:37Speaker 1: don't you want to at least close one night?
- 15:39Speaker 2: Yeah? Well I always hate that they said, oh, you
- 15:42Speaker 2: main event WrestleMania, when like there's been a handful of
- 15:45Speaker 2: times that has not been the case. Yeah, like they
- 15:48Speaker 2: need to stop drop that whole main event thing and
- 15:50Speaker 2: just say you get the world title match.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean because first one that comes to
- 15:56Speaker 1: my mind, Yeah, there's that one oscar that's Grandy Orton.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Randy Okay, just spitfiring.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Seamus.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Seamus was I was thinking like Undertaker wrestlming at twenty
- 16:08Speaker 1: four seth.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Rowans, seth rawlins, Okay rest than twenty four or was that?
- 16:14Speaker 1: No? It was Undertaker on Batista, No Undertaker and.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Yeah the year you Undertaker won, he main invented.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Okay, okay, see but like Somes the year he won,
- 16:25Speaker 1: I'm always wrestling thirty five.
- 16:26Speaker 2: He opened the show Yeah, Randy Orton, which was thirty three,
- 16:32Speaker 2: he was somewhere in the middle because Undertaker and Roman
- 16:34Speaker 2: closed the show. Uh shinsk Nakamura and Oscar both won
- 16:38Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen Rumbles.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Yeah, and I remember that was a very exciting thing.
- 16:44Speaker 1: That was the first women's Rumble. Yeah, and that was like,
- 16:47Speaker 1: that was a huge thing. And then Shen's get Knockamore
- 16:49Speaker 1: winning it. I remember that was a huge thing. And then
- 16:51Speaker 1: a lot of like the New Japan fans were like
- 16:54Speaker 1: clamoring for this because aj Styles is a champ at
- 16:57Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, she get's going to challenge him, and
- 16:59Speaker 1: then what we get Yeah, yeah, something that I can't
- 17:04Speaker 1: full I can't fully say on the air. Yeah, but
- 17:06Speaker 1: it was very lackluster. Yeah, if you if you, if
- 17:09Speaker 1: you were not watching around that time, it was, Yeah,
- 17:11Speaker 1: it was very lackluster, very much. It could have been better. Yeah,
- 17:18Speaker 1: with the talent that they had at their disposal right there,
- 17:20Speaker 1: it could have been a lot better.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Yeah, like with with that wrestling, but Brock and Room
- 17:23Speaker 2: and closed that WrestleMania. Actually that was think about it.
- 17:26Speaker 2: I think only one Women's Rumble winner, no to two
- 17:29Speaker 2: Women's Rumble winners have actually mainovented Becky Lynch when she
- 17:32Speaker 2: won yep, and then Bianca Blair maynovated night the first
- 17:37Speaker 2: Well Night one of res May thirty seven.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, there's that now now. Well, I guess
- 17:46Speaker 1: it would just depend on what is going on around
- 17:49Speaker 1: that time, because I was I've always kind of been
- 17:50Speaker 1: under the belief that the champ should close the show,
- 17:53Speaker 1: but I think under certain circumstances that should not be
- 17:55Speaker 1: a thing, or the rumble winner should match should closed
- 18:00Speaker 1: the show at WrestleMania, But again depending on the circumstances
- 18:04Speaker 1: that can be.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Yeah, which I've always the one one of the reason
- 18:08Speaker 2: I've always heard the whole their main eventage like, well,
- 18:10Speaker 2: sometimes the story is just not really there, like the
- 18:13Speaker 2: Tiffany Charlotte story.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Yeah, Triple H and Chris Jericho WRESTLEMANI eighteen, it wasn't
- 18:20Speaker 1: really it was pretty lackluster. I mean it was okay
- 18:24Speaker 1: leading up to it, but if you go back and
- 18:26Speaker 1: you watch like that Attitude era around that time, when
- 18:29Speaker 1: Jericho won both belts, Beat the Rock and Stoke Hold
- 18:31Speaker 1: in the same night, it was sort of a flop
- 18:35Speaker 1: in a way.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Yeah, it was also had to follow with the Hogan Rock.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's and that's also the other thing, like
- 18:41Speaker 1: on the wrestlemaniacord when you got like it's like a
- 18:44Speaker 1: triple h and Randy Orton when they had to follow
- 18:46Speaker 1: Michael's and and Undertaker a Wrestling twenty five, Like, how
- 18:49Speaker 1: are you supposed to follow that?
- 18:50Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 18:51Speaker 1: Like it's you know you're not And I think I
- 18:54Speaker 1: think the way the story went. They came in, they're like,
- 18:56Speaker 1: all right, y'all are fifth on the card, and Takers
- 18:58Speaker 1: like fifth, fifth, Yeah, okay, okay, and he just laces
- 19:02Speaker 1: his boots up and he's like, all right, all right, fifth,
- 19:05Speaker 1: you want fifth? Okay? And I don't know if Yeah
- 19:08Speaker 1: that was then we see arguably one of the greatest
- 19:12Speaker 1: WrestleMania matches of all time, and Undertaker versus shar was
- 19:17Speaker 1: one at Wressemania twenty five. So but speaking of WrestleMania Weekend,
- 19:22Speaker 1: one thing is returning though, and that is the Slammy Awards.
- 19:27Speaker 1: If you're new to this and you're just getting into
- 19:29Speaker 1: professional wrestling, the Slams are basically like the Oscars for
- 19:32Speaker 1: professional wrestling. I believe they're fan voted too, Yes, yes,
- 19:36Speaker 1: I think most time they are fan voted, So it
- 19:40Speaker 1: won't be on I don't think it's going to be
- 19:42Speaker 1: on Peacock or anything, or Netflix or anything like that.
- 19:45Speaker 1: It will just be on like all of their social
- 19:46Speaker 1: media platforms. But it will take place April twentieth's pretty

- 22:25Speaker 1: wins at the Slammies, It's tied with fifteen Shawn Michaels
- 22:29Speaker 1: and the Undertaker. Most wins in a single year is
- 22:34Speaker 1: tied between Shawn Michaels in nineteen ninety six and Seth

- 22:43Speaker 1: with thirty eight. Lord. Yeah, most nominations in a single
- 22:48Speaker 1: year in twenty fourteen, Seth Rollins was nominated fifteen times.
- 22:54Speaker 1: So I guess you could say that twenty fourteen definitely
- 22:59Speaker 1: was the year of Rawlins.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:01Speaker 1: He did, he did. He really did break out that year.
- 23:03Speaker 2: He might be having himself a second WrestleMania main event, Hey,
- 23:07Speaker 2: Marquid one.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Yeah. Third overall, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe well, yeah,
- 23:11Speaker 1: he's gonna have They're gonna have the Tripletic Roman. Yeah. Roman.
- 23:14Speaker 1: They talked about that on SmackDown Roman Range seeing punk
- 23:17Speaker 1: and seth rawlins. Yeah, which some people are now saying
- 23:20Speaker 1: that that should be that should have been one of
- 23:22Speaker 1: the World Heavyweight title match. I can I can see
- 23:26Speaker 1: that point of view, but I also feel like that
- 23:29Speaker 1: kind of discredits Gunter like, and I'm gonna tell you
- 23:33Speaker 1: right now, I ain't saying it to his face. Yeah,
- 23:35Speaker 1: if y'all, if if y'all on the IWC want to
- 23:37Speaker 1: be my guest, I ain't knowing it. I am knowing
- 23:40Speaker 1: that anyway. On this day in wrestling history, March twenty third,
- 23:57Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven, wrestle mani Y thirteen took place at
- 24:01Speaker 1: the Rosemont Horizon in suburban Chicago. The event would provide
- 24:05Speaker 1: long term fans with one of the greatest matches in
- 24:08Speaker 1: the history of professional wrestling. While the rest of the
- 24:11Speaker 1: card was lackluster to say the least, which was reflected
- 24:14Speaker 1: in the TV built up and low by rate for
- 24:17Speaker 1: the pay per view, the match was that WrestleMania thirteen
- 24:20Speaker 1: that was Austin versus heart.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Owen Hart, Brett Hart, Red Heart.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Yep, that was Brett Hart versus Stone called Steve Alston
- 24:28Speaker 1: because then the year before that, WrestleMania twelve Brett Hart
- 24:33Speaker 1: and Sean Michaels have the Iron Man Match. Then yeah,
- 24:36Speaker 1: thirteen was Brett Austin and then fourteen was Austin Michaels.
- 24:40Speaker 1: So there's your quick little history. Listen on that. March
- 24:45Speaker 1: twenty third, two thousand and four, at the WWE SmackDown
- 24:49Speaker 1: tapings in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Kurt Angle was declared the
- 24:53Speaker 1: new general manager of the Blue Brand. The night after
- 24:56Speaker 1: Paul Haman quit in storyline as a result of being
- 25:00Speaker 1: drafted to Rawl. In further fallout from the drafting lottery,
- 25:04Speaker 1: Triple h was traded back to Raw without ever making
- 25:07Speaker 1: a SmackDown appearance.
- 25:09Speaker 2: He didn't want to work SmackDown.
- 25:10Speaker 1: He didn't want to work Tuesdays. That's what it was.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Another call back to Paul to another promo. Yeah, let's
- 25:18Speaker 1: see the Deadly Boys, and Booker t went the other
- 25:21Speaker 1: way in exchange. On the same show, Bradshaw debuted the
- 25:25Speaker 1: John Bradshaw Layfield gimmick that would transform his career in WWE.
- 25:29Speaker 1: In a matter of weeks and.
- 25:30Speaker 2: The reason why he became w A champion because Triple
- 25:33Speaker 2: don't want to go to SmackDown.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't want to do that, at least that's
- 25:35Speaker 1: what was said. Yeah, that's what was said at ECW
- 25:38Speaker 1: one night Stand in two thousand and five. Actually, but JBL,
- 25:43Speaker 1: like the Bradshaw gimmick was cool, but the JBL gimmick,
- 25:46Speaker 1: the wrestling god, all of that that put him on
- 25:49Speaker 1: the map.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Yeah, him and Eddie, Oh my gosh.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Oh. And also, if you you think of it like this,
- 25:56Speaker 1: we're talking about John Cena, JBL, Bradshaw going to JBL
- 26:01Speaker 1: really set it up a year later for John Cena
- 26:04Speaker 1: to take the belt off of him to start his
- 26:06Speaker 1: legendary run at the top. Yeah, so it's all a
- 26:10Speaker 1: domino effect. Yeah. March twenty third, twenty fifteen, Daniel Brian,
- 26:14Speaker 1: John Cena, Mark Henry and Roman Reigns were victorious over
- 26:18Speaker 1: Bray Wyatt Caine seth Rawlins and Big Show on the
- 26:21Speaker 1: go home edition of WWE Monday Night Rawl for WrestleMania
- 26:25Speaker 1: thirty one from the Staples Centers Center in Los Angeles.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Sting also opened rawle for the first time ever. Yeah,
- 26:33Speaker 1: and we're gonna go a hand and pause right there
- 26:35Speaker 1: and take a quick break. When we come back, we
- 26:37Speaker 1: got some more wrestling news. We got new Japan stuff,
- 26:39Speaker 1: aew stuff, Steven Spielberg news, Yeah we did. We got
- 26:44Speaker 1: some more news coming up, so stay tuned.

- 27:10Speaker 1: he told us that. Yeah. Also, yes, the memes, We've
- 27:13Speaker 1: talked about this at the break. The memes are wonderful. Yes.
- 27:17Speaker 1: When he said that, when he made a like he's
- 27:19Speaker 1: even made the the you can't see me joke, He's like,
- 27:23Speaker 1: he knows the joke. I love it that he said that.
- 27:26Speaker 1: He's like, y'all have made me into an invisible meme
- 27:28Speaker 1: for years, for the past fifteen years, and then somebody's like,
- 27:32Speaker 1: why is his hat and shirt talking to me now?
- 27:36Speaker 2: So there's various lines throughout the promo. People have mems
- 27:40Speaker 2: like when your boss tells you something or whatever, you
- 27:43Speaker 2: get nothing or not.
- 27:45Speaker 1: You and you asked for a race, you get nothing.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Memes are the only thing that is keeping all of
- 27:51Speaker 1: us going. But one thing that is keeping David Finley going.
- 27:55Speaker 1: He just won the New Japan Cup, defeating show to
- 27:58Speaker 1: show to Umino. Yeah, to win the New Japan Cup.
- 28:01Speaker 1: He will face Hiroki Godo for the w GP World
- 28:04Speaker 1: Heavyweight Championship at Soakura Genesis one April fifth. And if
- 28:09Speaker 1: you're wondering Finley, that sounds rather familiar. Yes, that is
- 28:13Speaker 1: the son of Fit Finley. Yeah. I will say when
- 28:18Speaker 1: when I first realized that he was wrestling in New Japan,
- 28:23Speaker 1: he was a little l little lukewarm. But he has
- 28:28Speaker 1: sort of come around now. I don't know if I
- 28:30Speaker 1: would have him main event material, but he yeah, he
- 28:36Speaker 1: he has definitely improved. These you know, part of the
- 28:39Speaker 1: Bullet Club war Dogs, I believe, so he's part of
- 28:42Speaker 1: that faction and everything.
- 28:44Speaker 2: So yes, I don't really know much about Aim other
- 28:46Speaker 2: than him being Fit Fitley's son.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Yeah, he's Fit Finley son and he wrestles in Nu Japan.
- 28:50Speaker 1: So another person, Uh, well, somebody else that you have
- 28:55Speaker 1: heard of? I've heard of, everybody has heard of, But
- 28:58Speaker 1: who I just found out is sort of a wrestling fan,
- 29:01Speaker 1: or at least an older old school wrestling fan. Is
- 29:04Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg. Did you believe would you believe that?
- 29:09Speaker 2: Josh? Not really?
- 29:10Speaker 1: No, see it catches you off card.
- 29:13Speaker 2: I mean, granted when there were kids, sure, but yeah.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if he still follows it, but
- 29:20Speaker 1: he definitely. According to Java Guerrero, who was on Busted
- 29:24Speaker 1: Open Radio, h Steven Spielberg is an old school wrestling fan. Quote.
- 29:28Speaker 1: I just finished working with Steven Spielberg, just finished the
- 29:32Speaker 1: movie is still not out yet, and he was a
- 29:35Speaker 1: wrestling fan. We were exchanging Andre the Giant stories and
- 29:38Speaker 1: when he used to watch wrestling down at the Grand
- 29:41Speaker 1: Olympic Auditorium, and you know John Tolo's The Golden Greek
- 29:45Speaker 1: used to be one of his favorites. Yeah, how you
- 29:47Speaker 1: know he's an old school wrestling fan. Is exactly used
- 29:51Speaker 1: to be one of his favorites. And we're talking about
- 29:53Speaker 1: all of this stuff and these are people that I
- 29:55Speaker 1: grew up with, that I've known since I was a kid.
- 29:58Speaker 1: And to have that report with Smielberg. He was a
- 30:01Speaker 1: fan because he got it. He understood the entertainment value
- 30:05Speaker 1: of pro wrestling. End quote. So somebody who is known
- 30:10Speaker 1: for their movies in the entertainment industry understands professional wrestling. Yeah,
- 30:15Speaker 1: it's almost like professional wrestling is universal. Oh my, I
- 30:18Speaker 1: think it is. I I tell people quite often, well,
- 30:24Speaker 1: I don't want to say quite often. I tell tell
- 30:27Speaker 1: tell friends of mine from time to time, or co
- 30:29Speaker 1: workers or whoever, whoever's willing to listen to me, that
- 30:33Speaker 1: everything circles back to wrestling. Like, and I'm not trying
- 30:36Speaker 1: to get into politics, but you think about politics even
- 30:39Speaker 1: before everything before what's going on now our president as
- 30:42Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, Yeah, but politics like look at
- 30:46Speaker 1: look at the Jesse Ventura. Yeah, like easily transitioned over
- 30:52Speaker 1: into politics. Like that's there. You know, basic storytelling is
- 30:59Speaker 1: professional wrestling. One. You got a good guy, you got
- 31:01Speaker 1: a bad guy. You have a conflict, and you clash
- 31:05Speaker 1: to have this conflict, you have a climax, and then
- 31:08Speaker 1: you have your resolution. That's basic storytelling. One oh one.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Everything everything reverts back to wrestling, even I would say
- 31:18Speaker 1: even sometimes when it comes to sports, Okay, when you
- 31:21Speaker 1: have like when you have somebody a certain personality on
- 31:27Speaker 1: a team, people are going to gravitate towards that person
- 31:29Speaker 1: I just want to know who that person is. Like
- 31:32Speaker 1: for example, with football, you have Tom Brady. Tom Brady
- 31:34Speaker 1: is the goat. He has called the goat for a reason.
- 31:36Speaker 1: You know, he's a bit of a psychopath, but he
- 31:38Speaker 1: has called the goat for a reason. John Cena a
- 31:41Speaker 1: bit of a psychopath? How dare you do that to
- 31:43Speaker 1: that child? To say that to that child? Yeah, he
- 31:47Speaker 1: was a rude John Cena like yeah, but it all,
- 31:55Speaker 1: all of it reverts back to professional wrestling, and I
- 31:57Speaker 1: don't know, maybe that's much a y'all? Okay, Homicide retires
- 32:04Speaker 1: from professional That was a transition, that was It's just
- 32:07Speaker 1: next story I got lined up Hereide has retired from
- 32:10Speaker 1: professional wrestling after thirty one years. At an Outlaw Wrestling
- 32:13Speaker 1: event in Brooklyn, New York, on March twentieth, Homicide was
- 32:17Speaker 1: an at tag team with Bull James against Mike Santana
- 32:20Speaker 1: and offa junior. The match with a disqualification, but Homicide
- 32:25Speaker 1: demanded the match be restarted with no disqualification to this
- 32:28Speaker 1: being his retirement match. The referee agreed. Homicide announced his retirement.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Dude to his brain and that has started to impair
- 32:35Speaker 1: his speech and vision. Homicide is also most notable for
- 32:38Speaker 1: his time in TNA and Ring of Honor, and we
- 32:41Speaker 1: wish him, you know, retirement, yeah, and all that good stuff.
- 32:45Speaker 1: And yes, this took place in Brooklyn, New York. He
- 32:47Speaker 1: is from Brooklyn. And at the end of the show,
- 32:50Speaker 1: for some of you baseball fans out there, I cannot
- 32:54Speaker 1: say exactly what he said about the Mets, but he
- 32:56Speaker 1: did not have a he did not have kind words
- 33:01Speaker 1: to say about the New York Mets. But just to
- 33:05Speaker 1: transition over, we'll go over to what has been going
- 33:08Speaker 1: on with Alberto L Patron.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Or Alberto de Rio for the WWE people who don't
- 33:13Speaker 2: know him by any other name.
- 33:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's you know, Alberto del Rio formerly
- 33:18Speaker 1: known as Alberto del realm. During a Triple A show
- 33:21Speaker 1: on March fourteenth, al Patron Delrio was seen on fan
- 33:25Speaker 1: footage to have some type of fan. He tried to
- 33:28Speaker 1: jump the guard Yeah, he tried to jump the guardrail
- 33:31Speaker 1: in one spot, but moved over to the left side
- 33:34Speaker 1: of the arena and successfully jumped the guardrail there After
- 33:38Speaker 1: some words were exchanged. El Patron was seen throwing a
- 33:41Speaker 1: chair at a fan, to which he was then met
- 33:43Speaker 1: with a chair thrown at him along with some other
- 33:46Speaker 1: projectiles until he returned to ringside. This was during a
- 33:51Speaker 1: match with Alhejo Deel Doctor Wagner Junior or the son
- 33:54Speaker 1: of Doctor Wagner Junior. Tv as Teka confirmed that this
- 33:59Speaker 1: altercation started after throwing beer and coins at El Patron.
- 34:03Speaker 1: The chair that El Patron threw hit a woman in
- 34:06Speaker 1: the take him to a hot doubt. The local Wrestling
- 34:08Speaker 1: Commission issued a six month ban on l Patron. This
- 34:12Speaker 1: will not affect any Triple A shows unless that show
- 34:15Speaker 1: is in Tijuana and more of the story.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Don't throw chairs at elderly people.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Don't don't throw Okay, Okay, this is this is a
- 34:24Speaker 1: double edged sword. Don't throw chairs at elderly people. Yes,
- 34:29Speaker 1: like that, even even if you take professional wrestling out
- 34:32Speaker 1: of just don't do that. Don't do it. Don't yeah,
- 34:35Speaker 1: you know, don't do it. Yeah, if you're even thinking
- 34:38Speaker 1: of going in that direction, don't do it. But why
- 34:42Speaker 1: are you okay with throwing coins at somebody? Yeah? Like that?
- 34:49Speaker 1: That hurts? Yeah, And I know professional wrestling is not easy.
- 34:53Speaker 2: I know. But El Patron ain't a great guy.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Yeah, Like we all know that he is. His his
- 34:59Speaker 1: reputationation perceives him in certain aspects, and maybe that is
- 35:02Speaker 1: why this suspension came about the way it did. Why,
- 35:07Speaker 1: like it goes both ways. Why do people think it's
- 35:11Speaker 1: okay to throw beer and and and we don't know
- 35:14Speaker 1: if it was full beers or whatever, but to just
- 35:17Speaker 1: throw beer at him and to throw coins, Yeah, I
- 35:20Speaker 1: mean that's like, I know that there's people out there like, oh,
- 35:22Speaker 1: you know, talking about the old school wrestling and stuff.
- 35:25Speaker 1: I know that. I think it's back in Puerto Rico
- 35:28Speaker 1: with WWC World Wrestling Council, they would throw batteries, battery
- 35:35Speaker 1: acid at people. Good lord, yeah, like it Like, I'm
- 35:39Speaker 1: not condoning that. Don't do that, don't like Okay, a
- 35:44Speaker 1: little bit of a rant from me. I know that
- 35:47Speaker 1: you buy your your ticket and you're like, I can
- 35:49Speaker 1: do what I want. No, No, I hate that. I
- 35:52Speaker 1: hate that attitude of oh I bought I bought this ticket.
- 35:55Speaker 1: I can do what I want. No, you cannot, Like
- 35:58Speaker 1: there are certain things that you should not do. How
- 36:01Speaker 1: many times, Josh, have we seen as professional wrestling fans
- 36:04Speaker 1: over the year somebody jumps the guardrail, Yeah, and they
- 36:07Speaker 1: get into the ring and what happens to them? Yeah,
- 36:09Speaker 1: all right, and like even if it happens these days,
- 36:12Speaker 1: it doesn't it's not nearly as bad as it used
- 36:14Speaker 1: to be. But back in the day, I mean, there
- 36:17Speaker 1: was the there's a video of what Austin and Triple
- 36:20Speaker 1: H in Germany fan jumps, the railing goes after Austin.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Triple H, who is the heel, doesn't know what he's
- 36:28Speaker 1: supposed to do at this point, and he just slams
- 36:32Speaker 1: the fan down. And I think it was Mike Kyota,
- 36:34Speaker 1: who was a referee. They just started kicking the kicking
- 36:38Speaker 1: the snot out of that dude. Yeah, no, I hate
- 36:43Speaker 1: that anyway. I hate that ticket.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Get your ticket to the show to be entertained, not
- 36:48Speaker 2: to become a part of the show and do things
- 36:50Speaker 2: that might otherwise be illegal.
- 36:52Speaker 1: Yeah, that might be illegal. That might start, uh, some
- 36:56Speaker 1: type of riot I don't want, maybe not that far,
- 36:59Speaker 1: but like you might injure somebody. Or here's another thing,
- 37:04Speaker 1: and this has nothing to do with professional wrestling. A
- 37:06Speaker 1: couple well, no, about a week or so ago, week
- 37:09Speaker 1: and a half ago. Uh, we are at a a
- 37:14Speaker 1: concert and there's people behind us. I hate this, people
- 37:19Speaker 1: behind us who are talking and they are just and
- 37:22Speaker 1: they're talking so loud you can hear them over the
- 37:24Speaker 1: music that it has nothing to do with the show.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Same thing, like like any type of event, if I
- 37:30Speaker 1: am there and I'm trying to pay attention to the show,
- 37:34Speaker 1: whether it's a professional wrestling show or whether it's a
- 37:37Speaker 1: concert or whatever, do not, like take take the talk
- 37:41Speaker 1: somewhere else. Yeah, take it somewhere else. And like my
- 37:44Speaker 1: brothers and I we've we've went to wrestling shows. My
- 37:47Speaker 1: brothers had beer spelt on him before from people who
- 37:50Speaker 1: were just you know, had had a little too much
- 37:53Speaker 1: and they're not paying attention and they spilled like they
- 37:55Speaker 1: spilled a whole whole beer down the side of him.
- 37:58Speaker 2: I have a comment on that in a minute, Like.
- 38:00Speaker 1: It's like I don't I don't know. Just don't just
- 38:04Speaker 1: don't do it, Yeah, just don't do it. I understand
- 38:07Speaker 1: why the Commission did give Patron this six month band
- 38:12Speaker 1: from Tijuana, because I think some of that is his
- 38:15Speaker 1: reputation that does perceive him. But also like this would
- 38:19Speaker 1: not have started if he was not getting coins thrown
- 38:22Speaker 1: at him. Yeah, Like and if he didn't respond the
- 38:26Speaker 1: way he did, I don't think the band would have
- 38:27Speaker 1: happened either. But again, it all started once fans were
- 38:30Speaker 1: throwing coins and beer at him. Yeah, so I'll hand
- 38:34Speaker 1: it off to Josh because he has a comment. So okay,
- 38:38Speaker 1: maybe maybe it started with drunk drunk fans.
- 38:40Speaker 2: Anyway, It's really like, I'm going to be in a
- 38:43Speaker 2: very small minority here. I don't think beer should be
- 38:46Speaker 2: had shows really, yeah, because fair fair, just stupid things happen.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I I get that point of view. I
- 38:55Speaker 1: also I get the other side, because there's people who
- 38:58Speaker 1: I'm also.
- 38:59Speaker 2: A kind of pristed, like why why do you have
- 39:00Speaker 2: to drink to enjoy a show? I'm not a drinker myself, but.
- 39:04Speaker 1: Still, yeah, no, I get that. Like I understand where
- 39:09Speaker 1: some people were like I would I would like to
- 39:10Speaker 1: have a couple of adult beverages, not this, you know,
- 39:15Speaker 1: stone cold levels of one beer, beer, three beer, a
- 39:18Speaker 1: bloody Mary. We're not getting blasted. But what but like
- 39:24Speaker 1: I the uh hold on, hold on, where am uh
- 39:30Speaker 1: there it is? Yeah all right, I just had to
- 39:32Speaker 1: throw that in there. I get like, you don't want
- 39:36Speaker 1: to you don't want a few people to be punished
- 39:39Speaker 1: for the behavior of the many. But I get your
- 39:43Speaker 1: I get your point of view there because like that
- 39:46Speaker 1: is the issue. Uh, that that is the problems that
- 39:49Speaker 1: do come about. It's kind of like when Milan Pushcar
- 39:52Speaker 1: Stadium up in Morgantown started selling beer. Yeah, I know
- 39:55Speaker 1: people who went the Mountaineer games for years and they
- 39:58Speaker 1: quit going because they started selling on alcohol. So like,
- 40:03Speaker 1: I don't I guess I'm neither on this. I don't
- 40:07Speaker 1: really care either way. There's some wrestling promotions you go
- 40:11Speaker 1: to that don't sell beer, and then there's some wrestling
- 40:14Speaker 1: promotions you go to and you can buy a whole
- 40:16Speaker 1: picture and sit there and enjoy yourself.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you one thing. Crazy beer at bowling
- 40:22Speaker 2: that just does not sound like a good combination.
- 40:26Speaker 1: I've done that a couple of times. I've been there
- 40:29Speaker 1: a couple of times. Okay, listen, this this involves wrestling. Okay,
- 40:34Speaker 1: all right. I've been to a couple of Uh, they
- 40:37Speaker 1: weren't torn as she's just friends going out. I went
- 40:39Speaker 1: to a couple of times bowling and some drinks have
- 40:42Speaker 1: been brought out, some some buckets and pictures have been
- 40:45Speaker 1: brought out, and next thing I know, I am guttering
- 40:50Speaker 1: the ball while walking around, while turning around doing the
- 40:53Speaker 1: Rick Flair Strutt thinking I'm cool and I just completely
- 40:56Speaker 1: missed the pins, So like that's the entertainment side of it.
- 41:01Speaker 1: Like a friend of mine, we would, uh it was
- 41:04Speaker 1: him and I against some against two other people, and
- 41:08Speaker 1: anytime we would hit the pins, we would too sweet
- 41:11Speaker 1: each other, like we would sit there, we would like
- 41:13Speaker 1: do the whole like Scott Hall and Kevin Nash like
- 41:16Speaker 1: it was. It was see Josh everything reverse wrestling, right.
- 41:22Speaker 2: But I mean, I'll say catchphrases to my friend who
- 41:24Speaker 2: knows nothing about wrestling.
- 41:26Speaker 1: Don't you love that? They just kind of look catching
- 41:29Speaker 1: like a deer in headlights like that?
- 41:30Speaker 2: And then eventually they start saying not even really knowing
- 41:32Speaker 2: what it is, but that's true.
- 41:34Speaker 1: That's it's it is always, it is always. I'll say this,
- 41:38Speaker 1: It warms my heart when there's somebody that is not
- 41:42Speaker 1: a wrestling fan or wasn't a wrestling fan, and then
- 41:45Speaker 1: they come up to you and they're like they are
- 41:48Speaker 1: they're trying to understand it, and they're like, Okay, this
- 41:51Speaker 1: is a promotion, right, this is a heel, this is
- 41:54Speaker 1: a face, Like they're actively trying to understand this world.
- 41:58Speaker 1: Like it warms my heart I'm happy be when I
- 42:00Speaker 1: when I see such things.
- 42:02Speaker 2: There's the Zach Ryder, you know, the beginning of his
- 42:04Speaker 2: theme songs like woo woo woo, who a little thing?
- 42:06Speaker 2: I say that stupid like to of my friends. And
- 42:08Speaker 2: he's started to say every now and then.
- 42:12Speaker 1: It's it was. It was like a like a meme
- 42:14Speaker 1: before like memes became what they are now.
- 42:18Speaker 2: So yell a lot to them.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like I used to. I used to make
- 42:23Speaker 1: my mom mad when I was a teenager because I
- 42:25Speaker 1: would say what she would be talking about? What what? Jeffery,
- 42:30Speaker 1: I'm going I'm gonna give you something. What about here
- 42:31Speaker 1: in a second if you don't, Yeah, listen. Even though
- 42:36Speaker 1: I'm thirty and I'm on the on the younger side
- 42:39Speaker 1: of things, my mother was still old school about things. Yeah. Now,
- 42:42Speaker 1: she wasn't like Undertaker old school like jump like jumping
- 42:46Speaker 1: off the top rope, you know, doing the old school like.
- 42:49Speaker 2: I used to have a gun to nice and luck room.
- 42:53Speaker 1: Video games. I think we're better off with the video games.
- 42:57Speaker 1: I got respect for what you did for the business,
- 42:59Speaker 1: but I I think it's better that we got the
- 43:01Speaker 1: video game.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:04Speaker 1: Oh, last thing before we go, before we get to
- 43:07Speaker 1: the main events. AW Dynasty is starting to shape up
- 43:10Speaker 1: due to a double pin by Mike Bailey Speedball Mike
- 43:13Speaker 1: Bailey and Ricochet. They both will face ken you Omega
- 43:16Speaker 1: for the AW International Championship at Dynasty in a triple
- 43:20Speaker 1: threat match. Elsewhere, after she defeated Chris Statlander, Meghan Bain
- 43:26Speaker 1: will face Tony Storm for the AEW Women's World Championship. Now,
- 43:31Speaker 1: I've seen some conversation online. Some people want Megan Baine
- 43:36Speaker 1: to go ahead and get it. They want Tony to
- 43:39Speaker 1: go ahead and drop the belt. I'm there yet. Yeah,
- 43:43Speaker 1: she just came off of a hot feud with Mariah May.
- 43:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels way too soon.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think people are people are worried
- 43:51Speaker 1: because they have been giving Meghan Bain, They've been pushing
- 43:55Speaker 1: her and showing her as this this force to be
- 43:58Speaker 1: reckoned with. I think Tony Storm is good enough in
- 44:02Speaker 1: the ring to be able to pull this off, win
- 44:05Speaker 1: the match, but also still make Megan bang look like
- 44:07Speaker 1: a million bucks. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm not too worried
- 44:10Speaker 1: about it, but I still I would rather Tony Storm
- 44:12Speaker 1: have the belt for at least a little bit longer. Yeah,
- 44:15Speaker 1: maybe test this out and then later on circle back
- 44:17Speaker 1: to Meghan Baine. But yeah, also after gruesomely taking Coach's
- 44:24Speaker 1: batspike to the back on this past week's Dynamite and
- 44:28Speaker 1: retaining his title, John Moxley will officially defend the AW
- 44:33Speaker 1: World Championship against Swerve Strickland. That was nasty. Whoa, I'll
- 44:39Speaker 1: say this, that was a pay per view spot. Yeah,
- 44:42Speaker 1: like the fact people, I'll say this. People can say
- 44:45Speaker 1: what they want about John Moxley, and I am not
- 44:50Speaker 1: the biggest fan of the deathmatch stuff hardcore wrestling. Sometimes
- 44:55Speaker 1: I like it. I think there's a time and place
- 44:58Speaker 1: for it. I felt like think there was a time
- 45:00Speaker 1: and place for this. I don't think this was the
- 45:02Speaker 1: time nor the place for such a spot. Yeah. Like
- 45:05Speaker 1: I said, I feel like that was more of a
- 45:07Speaker 1: pay per view spot, Like I would rather people pay
- 45:10Speaker 1: money to want to see that instead of it just
- 45:13Speaker 1: being on free TV. But give John, I'll say this,
- 45:19Speaker 1: Give John Moxley his flowers though, because he was having
- 45:22Speaker 1: a lot of issue like travel issues to get there.
- 45:26Speaker 2: What eleven hours just to get there?
- 45:28Speaker 1: Yeah, you drive eleven hours to get there, which is crazy.
- 45:30Speaker 2: Couldn't take any planes in there because like storms or something.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of bad storms last week.
- 45:36Speaker 1: I think there was. I think we had a tornado
- 45:39Speaker 1: outbreak in Midwest down into the South last week, so
- 45:43Speaker 1: that a lot of a lot of flights were cancel
- 45:45Speaker 1: would have not happening. I give him flowers there because
- 45:48Speaker 1: most people would have said, all right, I can't make it.
- 45:51Speaker 1: But instead he got into the car and drove eleven hours.
- 45:55Speaker 1: I mean, give the guy vacation. Now the funny, I'll
- 45:59Speaker 1: say this one of the funnier things that came out
- 46:01Speaker 1: of this. We talk about memes and uh John Moxley's wife,
- 46:06Speaker 1: Renee Petet Piquette, she does not shy away from poking
- 46:10Speaker 1: fun at her husband because she took the screenshot of
- 46:14Speaker 1: the nails in the back and was like, that's my
- 46:17Speaker 1: emergency contact. So I think, yeah, I did not see
- 46:25Speaker 1: Cope winning this one. Anyway. I thought it was an okay,
- 46:28Speaker 1: I thought this. I thought this past Dynamite was a
- 46:30Speaker 1: good episode of Dynamite, especially with what they had at
- 46:34Speaker 1: their disposal, with all the storms that were going on.
- 46:38Speaker 1: But yeah, like that was that was not a free
- 46:41Speaker 1: TV spot, No, that was that was a pay per view.
- 46:44Speaker 1: It's kind of like the the pizza cutter that was
- 46:48Speaker 1: that that was not that's not a free TV spot,
- 46:53Speaker 1: that is a pay per view spot.
- 46:56Speaker 2: That was great with that one.
- 46:57Speaker 1: That was perfect time I saw that was sheer coincidence? Yeah,
- 47:00Speaker 1: it had to have been. I wonder, like just coming
- 47:04Speaker 1: from being in with like my background being in production,
- 47:10Speaker 1: I put myself in the head of like that director
- 47:13Speaker 1: that called that that threw that too commercial in his
- 47:16Speaker 1: liquor picture. I was like, oh, oh, we gotta dominates
- 47:22Speaker 1: commercial wise. He's using a pizza cutter on Jericho. Yeah,
- 47:26Speaker 1: oh it a slice of Jericho. No, nobody, Nobody wants
- 47:31Speaker 1: a slice of Jerich. But yeah, yeah, like I said,
- 47:36Speaker 1: I don't know, that's just that's my thought on the
- 47:38Speaker 1: Moxley spot. Do you want to put your two cents
- 47:41Speaker 1: on that?
- 47:43Speaker 2: It looks like it hurt. Yeah, I think it was
- 47:45Speaker 2: supposed to stick it like that.
- 47:47Speaker 1: I don't think it was either.
- 47:48Speaker 2: There's a part I didn't catch it when it was
- 47:50Speaker 2: aired live, but there's a clip Wheeler Uda goes up
- 47:52Speaker 2: and trying to help him get it off, and John's.
- 47:54Speaker 1: Like, dude, as spot spot. Then he goes out and
- 47:57Speaker 1: co picks to the table like oh yeah, skin off
- 48:03Speaker 1: his back. Yeah, like I then we'll go to the
- 48:08Speaker 1: after I saw that, I had to look up like
- 48:10Speaker 1: old like mc foley and carry funks like hardcore spots.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Apparently there's one. It was an e c W that
- 48:19Speaker 1: involved a flaming chair and it was Tommy Dreamer, Terry
- 48:22Speaker 1: Funk and McK foley. There is not that much footage
- 48:25Speaker 1: of this, that's how bad it was. Yeah, wrestling is
- 48:30Speaker 1: not for the faint of heart. Sometimes I will say
- 48:33Speaker 1: this for children, for you know, if you got small kids. Yeah,
- 48:38Speaker 1: some promotion for kids not for kids at all. There's
- 48:41Speaker 1: certain promotions that are I don't want to say a
- 48:44Speaker 1: of is not for kids all the time. But then
- 48:46Speaker 1: there's spots like that where it's like whoa no, no.
- 48:50Speaker 1: Then again I hear I am thinking about that, and
- 48:52Speaker 1: I remember when Randy Orton got thrown into the thing
- 48:56Speaker 1: of thumbtacks for Mick Foley when he was attempting an RKO.
- 49:00Speaker 2: Yeah, some text always make me cringe.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a like visually it is a yeah,
- 49:08Speaker 1: it's a ji. Yeah, but it's like, oh, doesn't that happen? Like,
- 49:14Speaker 1: I know, wrestling hurts in general, but to be willingly
- 49:18Speaker 1: by all right for me on that bed of thumb
- 49:20Speaker 1: tacks right now. I mean that's like the stuff that
- 49:22Speaker 1: you would see over in like how Big Japanburg Wrestling
- 49:26Speaker 1: now back in the day FMW were a deathmatch promotion
- 49:31Speaker 1: over in Japan, Like you see some of the stuff
- 49:33Speaker 1: like we saw from John Moxley is kind of mild
- 49:35Speaker 1: compared to what has what other deathmatch stuff I've seen,
- 49:40Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's a it's a lot. But anyway, Uh,
- 49:44Speaker 1: here's the main event. It looks like all the talking
- 49:47Speaker 1: it's been done. It's time for the main event. Welcome
