- 8:21Speaker 9: I just yeated.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Well, they always talk about it on commentary, how they're
- 8:25Speaker 2: gonna yeat all over everybody. It's like, oh, yeah, I
- 8:27Speaker 2: was yeating before I got here.
- 8:30Speaker 7: Yeah, it's really weird.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Yeah, it is weird. That is basically a.
- 8:37Speaker 9: Joke, and it gives Michael called the opportunity to prove
- 8:41Speaker 9: that he is the most Caucasian human being that has.
- 8:44Speaker 7: Ever lived, exactly Jesus Christ.
- 8:50Speaker 2: But he doesn't deal with it.
- 8:52Speaker 7: But they're like, Michael, you don't look like enough of
- 8:55Speaker 7: a dor Let's try something new.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Yeah, they always they always find a way to make
- 9:04Speaker 2: Michael Cole look even worse more of a All right,
- 9:13Speaker 2: did you guys catch the entire Hall of Fame at all?
- 9:18Speaker 4: I actually did watch that whole damn thing live because
- 9:23Speaker 4: for some reason, Yeah, I watched it live, like I
- 9:27Speaker 4: was up the entire four and a half fucking hours
- 9:30Speaker 4: that Friday because I did not have to well, mostly
- 9:36Speaker 4: because one I did not have. It was in the
- 9:38Speaker 4: middle of my three day weekend, so I didn't have
- 9:40Speaker 4: to work the next day, and I was already up
- 9:43Speaker 4: at midnight, so I went to bed and I put
- 9:46Speaker 4: it on because I was like, I want to at
- 9:48Speaker 4: least see Lex Luger's part, and I did want to
- 9:51Speaker 4: see his, And then for some reason I just wound
- 9:54Speaker 4: up being into bed up for the next fucking four
- 9:57Speaker 4: and a half hours watching that ship.
- 10:01Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 10:01Speaker 9: I saw the clip of Alex Luger standing at the
- 10:05Speaker 9: beginning of the speech, and that's.
- 10:08Speaker 11: All I saw.
- 10:09Speaker 7: And boy, am I glad that's all I saw. I
- 10:13Speaker 7: heard trips. He talked longer than any match he ever had.
- 10:19Speaker 4: And he's been in an Irish speech was so fucking long, Jesus,
- 10:25Speaker 4: it was over an hour.
- 10:29Speaker 7: You need to take Tiffany and then beautiful daughters. Yeah,
- 10:33Speaker 7: I don't need to hear that for an hour.
- 10:35Speaker 4: And it wasn't like everyone think, yeah, I'll say the
- 10:37Speaker 4: thing about his is It wasn't like it was an
- 10:40Speaker 4: hour from you know, the start of his whole segment. No,
- 10:44Speaker 4: literally just his speech from the moment he got on
- 10:47Speaker 4: stage and got on the mic. So when he finally
- 10:50Speaker 4: shut the hell up and left, it was over an hour.
- 10:54Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 10:54Speaker 9: I think I saw that he talked for like an
- 10:56Speaker 9: hour and six minutes or something. In his longest match
- 10:58Speaker 9: ever was an hour and three minutes.
- 11:02Speaker 2: It's funny. Yeah, It's like, who's gonna tell him to like, hey, trips,
- 11:05Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta wrap it up. Yeah right, that's
- 11:09Speaker 2: like us as like at a business, at like a
- 11:11Speaker 2: meeting at my work, if we're having a plant meeting,
- 11:13Speaker 2: my guys, the supervisor just talking forever and ever. It's like,
- 11:16Speaker 2: you know, I'm not gonna tell him to fucking wrap
- 11:18Speaker 2: it up. But if I say something, you know, we're
- 11:20Speaker 2: on the clock, you know. But I yeah, I watched
- 11:24Speaker 2: the little promo videos, which I thought was cool. I
- 11:27Speaker 2: forget a theme song they played for his promo. It
- 11:29Speaker 2: was pretty good though, Uh yeah, he just spent too
- 11:35Speaker 2: much time thinking way too many people.
- 11:38Speaker 7: Still.
- 11:38Speaker 2: The highlight of it who ended.
- 11:40Speaker 9: Up inducting the natural disasters because they because they made
- 11:43Speaker 9: a big deal about everybody else's uh who was inducting
- 11:47Speaker 9: them and didn't say was it just Typhoon's kid?
- 11:51Speaker 2: That's why I thought it was. It was like just
- 11:53Speaker 2: you know, direct family. That's how I figured it was
- 11:56Speaker 2: like Michelle mccool's speech. I almost fell asleep, I guess
- 12:01Speaker 2: I I almost felt I was like, oh my god,
- 12:03Speaker 2: this is early too. But yeah, after the Hall of Fame,
- 12:09Speaker 2: did anybody catch any of n XT Stand and Deliver anyway?
- 12:19Speaker 2: I actually caught. I actually caught it. I watched it.
- 12:23Speaker 2: It was pretty good.
- 12:25Speaker 13: I would go to the women's championship match, but yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 12:30Speaker 13: if there's anything to go back, go back and watch
- 12:32Speaker 13: like the Ricky Saints, you know, wrestle ethan Page for
- 12:36Speaker 13: the North American title, Hank and Tank what a tag
- 12:41Speaker 13: team name Hank and Tank defeated.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Uh yeah, so that that was a pretty good match.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Go back and watch that. Uh yeah, the women's Fatal
- 12:51Speaker 2: four away for the NXT Championship. You know guys who
- 12:57Speaker 2: really enjoyed that match was Booker T. If you may, Booker,
- 13:05Speaker 2: Let's see it's.
- 13:11Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Booker T m HM.
- 13:17Speaker 2: And likes, uh Stephanie's finisher pretty pretty pretty much, and we've.
- 13:23Speaker 7: Seen it's a cool move and looks great. I don't
- 13:28Speaker 7: know that it warrants that type of turning oneself into
- 13:32Speaker 7: a frog.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Oh well, how does it warn't? Maybe this one?
- 13:38Speaker 11: Baby, Yeah, that's a little much.
- 13:49Speaker 2: I mean, no, no, Doyle, this this is a little much.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Here we go, baby, Yes, yeah, he let that one marinate.
- 14:19Speaker 2: I want to let everybody know I did not alter
- 14:23Speaker 2: those at all. I was dying because I was like,
- 14:29Speaker 2: Damn Bookert commentary making me fucking laugh. That's what made
- 14:33Speaker 2: I feel like. That's what drew my attention more to
- 14:35Speaker 2: the fucking TV. See what he was fucking doing that over.
- 14:39Speaker 2: But that's dying.
- 14:41Speaker 4: He was doing it over somebody who deserved it, Yeah,
- 14:46Speaker 4: opposed to somebody else in the threat. That's the same thing.
- 14:50Speaker 7: And he's still less annoying than Pat Maga.
- 14:53Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:54Speaker 2: The main event for the NXC title with Trick Williams,
- 14:58Speaker 2: Javon Evans, and oba Uh. This dude, this guy's fucking huge.
- 15:06Speaker 2: This guy's three pounds. He's a big boy, six foot six.
- 15:12Speaker 2: So hopefully this man gets built well and we see
- 15:16Speaker 2: him on the main roster soon. But he's a big
- 15:18Speaker 2: sum bitch.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Oba femmy. He's got all the main roster
- 15:24Speaker 4: star power. He can Yeah, he can go in the ring.
- 15:29Speaker 4: He's good on the mic. He clearly has the presence
- 15:32Speaker 4: built like a brick shit house.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interest music, like it's just it just it
- 15:37Speaker 2: goes well.
- 15:37Speaker 4: Like, Yeah, he's built me. I kind of don't like
- 15:40Speaker 4: the fact that he kind of walks to the beat
- 15:42Speaker 4: of it, almost like he's kind of strutting. I kind
- 15:44Speaker 4: of wish he would be a little bit more serious
- 15:46Speaker 4: about when he walks and just be more you know,
- 15:51Speaker 4: stone faced with it. But that's a minor, minor knit, right.
- 15:55Speaker 2: That's something that like the as a character you can develop,
- 15:58Speaker 2: I guess. But yeah, straight to the guy.
- 16:04Speaker 4: That's the one match I did not see on this
- 16:06Speaker 4: pl though by that point I left went to go
- 16:09Speaker 4: to the gym because I wanted to stick around to
- 16:11Speaker 4: at least see the women's match, and every match on
- 16:15Speaker 4: that show on that card that I saw cooked like
- 16:19Speaker 4: the tag team match was probably the best tag team
- 16:23Speaker 4: match of the entire weekend between NXT and both nights
- 16:26Speaker 4: of WrestleMania. That tag title match was a great match.
- 16:32Speaker 4: The Women's Triple Threat cooked hell every Triple Threat. This
- 16:36Speaker 4: weekend cooked. Honestly, the one thing you can say about
- 16:39Speaker 4: this weekend. This was the weekend of the Triple Threat matches, well.
- 16:45Speaker 7: Multi van matches in general. I mean, the farway for
- 16:48Speaker 7: the IC title was pretty good too, yea.
- 16:52Speaker 4: Even the ladder match for the women's uh North American
- 16:54Speaker 4: title was pretty damn good as well.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Right, just getting everybody on that card today, you know,
- 17:00Speaker 2: or for that payday. H Yeah, all right, let's uh,
- 17:08Speaker 2: let's get this ball rolling. We got a lot of
- 17:10Speaker 2: shit to.
- 17:11Speaker 4: Cover, and.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Let's get right into Night one day. Do you want
- 17:19Speaker 2: to you wanna take over for Night one?
- 17:22Speaker 4: Yep, yep, we can take over Night one within alleged
- 17:27Speaker 4: and I stress the word alleged attendance of what did
- 17:31Speaker 4: they say, sixty something thousand Night one sixty one? Yeah,
- 17:36Speaker 4: I'm seeing reported numbers of like fifty seven thousands.
- 17:40Speaker 9: So well, what they're doing is they're counting all the
- 17:44Speaker 9: you know, production assistance and the people selling popcorn and
- 17:48Speaker 9: probably yeah, and I mean there's gonna be hundreds, if
- 17:51Speaker 9: not thousands, of the people at the at the stadium bathrooms.
- 17:57Speaker 9: They count if you were if you were there with
- 17:59Speaker 9: a pulse counted yet he counted pregnantities as two people.
- 18:05Speaker 4: Sixty one thousand people at the at the Allegiance Stadium,
- 18:09Speaker 4: fifty seven thousand pay for tickets, so somewhere in the middle.
- 18:15Speaker 4: But either way, Night one kicked off with Gunter defending
- 18:21Speaker 4: his World Heavyweight Championship against main event Jay Usso, which
- 18:27Speaker 4: saw suit my surprise, gun through tap the fuck out.
- 18:35Speaker 9: Yeah that was I mean, I think we all picked
- 18:37Speaker 9: Jay to win, right, I don't know that anybody picked
- 18:42Speaker 9: gun through the tap.
- 18:45Speaker 7: And just how fast he tap too was kind of
- 18:47Speaker 7: crazy to me.
- 18:48Speaker 9: I thought they would at least do the you know,
- 18:51Speaker 9: he almost gets to the ropes and then Jay Paulson'm
- 18:53Speaker 9: back and then he almost gets.
- 18:55Speaker 7: To the ropes, you know something.
- 18:57Speaker 4: Yep, that was my one break with the match.
- 19:00Speaker 7: As boom, He's tap, you know, seemed very ungunter.
- 19:03Speaker 4: Like, Yeah, that was my one gripe with the match.
- 19:05Speaker 4: Like overall, I thought it was a really good match.
- 19:08Speaker 4: I thought it was great storytelling as far as Gunter
- 19:11Speaker 4: being dominant, but still couldn't completely dominate j Uso because
- 19:16Speaker 4: Jay had pretty much switched up his game, even playing
- 19:19Speaker 4: a little bit with the audience and the fact that
- 19:22Speaker 4: you know, Jay only has four moves. He can't do this,
- 19:25Speaker 4: and you saw j pulling out all kinds of moves
- 19:27Speaker 4: in this match that he normally doesn't do. Yeah, And
- 19:30Speaker 4: I was.
- 19:30Speaker 7: Glad it didn't didn't turn into a chop versus.
- 19:32Speaker 4: Super chopping superkick. Yeah, because I think I mentioned that.
- 19:38Speaker 4: You know, whoever bet the over on Jay's superkicks was
- 19:41Speaker 4: mad as a motherfucker because he only did two in
- 19:43Speaker 4: the whole match. Yeah, Whereas Gunter was kind of more
- 19:48Speaker 4: reduced to his usual repertoire of moves where you know,
- 19:52Speaker 4: anytime Jay got some offense, go to hit him with
- 19:54Speaker 4: a chop. You know, his typical t Rex dropkick is
- 19:58Speaker 4: power chopped.
- 20:00Speaker 7: When he was sitting on the top rope and he
- 20:01Speaker 7: chopped him and he fell to the floor, that was pretty.
- 20:05Speaker 4: Yeah, that one was pretty gnarly. But overall, the magic
- 20:09Speaker 4: exceeded my expectations. Again, my only gripe with it is
- 20:13Speaker 4: that when he put him in the sleep or gun
- 20:16Speaker 4: the tap too fast.
- 20:17Speaker 7: It wouldn't bother me. If after he hit the what
- 20:19Speaker 7: did he hit two or three?
- 20:20Speaker 3: Uh?
- 20:23Speaker 9: Just pinned him there, I would have that would have
- 20:24Speaker 9: been a fine. And then I thought, and and a
- 20:28Speaker 9: prolonged sequence of him.
- 20:31Speaker 7: Uh, you know, because he's not like a submission expert
- 20:33Speaker 7: or anything.
- 20:36Speaker 2: Immediately you know, like that, but you know some repertory.
- 20:44Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, Like so that's why it's so surprising that
- 20:47Speaker 9: he tapped out so quickly.
- 20:48Speaker 11: To that.
- 20:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that would have built that would have
- 20:51Speaker 4: built up the finish a little bit more if he'd
- 20:53Speaker 4: have really sensed it in and had gone through their
- 20:55Speaker 4: struggling and you could.
- 20:56Speaker 7: Have their passes out in the sleeper, you know, something.
- 21:00Speaker 4: Like maybe if you want to protect gun Through, like
- 21:02Speaker 4: he passes out. But I would have been okay with
- 21:05Speaker 4: gun Through tapping if they'd have drawn it out a
- 21:06Speaker 4: little bit more, like you said, going through the struggle,
- 21:09Speaker 4: try to get to the ropes, and Jay is just
- 21:11Speaker 4: so he putting everything he has into it. You know,
- 21:13Speaker 4: you could they play up the emotion of it all,
- 21:16Speaker 4: like Jay has just look on the face like you know,
- 21:18Speaker 4: I'm getting you back for what you did to my brother,
- 21:19Speaker 4: the way you put my brother's move, feel what it
- 21:21Speaker 4: feels like, and he's just wrenching on him until gun
- 21:24Speaker 4: Through finally taps. I think that would have really, you know,
- 21:28Speaker 4: put a nice bow on this match or what was
- 21:30Speaker 4: otherwise a really good match, but.
- 21:33Speaker 9: You knew we were in trouble when, uh, for the
- 21:37Speaker 9: for the weekend, when during the entrance, when there's you know,
- 21:40Speaker 9: all the announcers are yeting and whatever, do you see
- 21:42Speaker 9: one of the Spanish announcers knocked the other one's headphones off.
- 21:47Speaker 7: Yeah, and then when Jay and then when they were
- 21:50Speaker 7: introducing Jay, it said challengers with an S.
- 21:56Speaker 9: That challenger No, I didn't stand in for a bag
- 22:02Speaker 9: Field weekend and boy were waiting right.
- 22:06Speaker 2: Not only was I surprised that like Jay got the win,
- 22:09Speaker 2: he got to win submission and the fact that they
- 22:13Speaker 2: used Jay and Good to open the show like main event,
- 22:18Speaker 2: Jay USO is still not main event.
- 22:20Speaker 9: I mean yeah, I mean, if you're not gonna put
- 22:23Speaker 9: you on last, going on first is often they say
- 22:26Speaker 9: the second best bottle of the card.
- 22:30Speaker 2: I never would expect such a huge win for somebody
- 22:32Speaker 2: like Jay would be you know, in the opening card.
- 22:37Speaker 11: Like, but.
- 22:39Speaker 2: This is definitely different than what we're used to. This
- 22:42Speaker 2: this WrestleMania felt very different. And this is besides last year.
- 22:47Speaker 2: This is like the full fledged storylines played out like
- 22:50Speaker 2: for Triple H. I mean, this is Triple h's you know, Era,
- 22:55Speaker 2: we're not longer getting vinced stuff. Maybe we're just so
- 22:59Speaker 2: used to and catered by what we expect from you know. Oh,
- 23:05Speaker 2: Vince would never allow this. Vince would never allow another
- 23:08Speaker 2: wrestler from another company on the biggest, grandest stage of
- 23:11Speaker 2: them all.
- 23:11Speaker 3: Never.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Yeah. So I'm shocked by a lot of results on
- 23:18Speaker 2: this card in general, but uh, the way that ended, Yeah,
- 23:24Speaker 2: very shocked.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would have preferred for me if
- 23:29Speaker 4: it had Maine have been at Night one. But I
- 23:31Speaker 4: understand why, given the level of star power that they
- 23:35Speaker 4: had obviously in the Triple Threat match. But even then,
- 23:38Speaker 4: and I mean that match delivered. It is absolutely if
- 23:41Speaker 4: they went out and laid a fucking egg. You know,
- 23:44Speaker 4: I think there's a there's a legitimate ripe there, like
- 23:46Speaker 4: why why not put uh one of one of a
- 23:50Speaker 4: couple matches.
- 23:51Speaker 7: And that's a lot instead?
- 23:53Speaker 4: But uh, yeah, absolutely it did obviously an absence of that, though,
- 24:02Speaker 4: I probably would have at least made it the penultimate match,
- 24:08Speaker 4: just so that you know, the just so the the
- 24:12Speaker 4: fact that you won the World Rumble and the fact
- 24:14Speaker 4: that this is a World Tide match can still carry
- 24:16Speaker 4: some weight. I still feel like putting it on at
- 24:19Speaker 4: the very beginning to kick offf WRESTLEMANI yes, you get
- 24:21Speaker 4: the hype moment of obviously kicking off WrestleMania with jay
- 24:25Speaker 4: USO's entrance and the title win, but I still feel
- 24:30Speaker 4: like it kind of diminished both the Royal Rumble win
- 24:33Speaker 4: and the World Heavyweight Championship the fact that it started WrestleMania.
- 24:39Speaker 4: I would have made it the second to last match
- 24:43Speaker 4: of Night one, but that's neither here nor there. So
- 24:48Speaker 4: obviously our champion made event so and I did. I
- 24:53Speaker 4: did get a little misty id when Jimmy uh met
- 24:57Speaker 4: him in the ring celebrate. That was a beautif football
- 25:02Speaker 4: absolutely second match h War Raiders Eric and Ivar defending
- 25:09Speaker 4: their World Tag Team Championship against the New Day Goffi
- 25:15Speaker 4: and Xavier. Why the fuck this match was on WrestleMania,
- 25:20Speaker 4: I don't know, because there was nothing about this There
- 25:25Speaker 4: was nothing about this match that could not have happened
- 25:28Speaker 4: all Raw. It's like we needed a title work, we
- 25:32Speaker 4: needed a tag title match, and they decided for this one.
- 25:35Speaker 4: Kofee and Xavier cheated, got to win. They're the new
- 25:38Speaker 4: World Tag Team Champions. Cool, but as a match there
- 25:43Speaker 4: was really nothing about this match that said WrestleMania. In
- 25:48Speaker 4: my opinion.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Is this would have been cool on just Monday Night Raw.
- 25:59Speaker 7: Actually, uh, a lot of production errors. They're in one
- 26:03Speaker 7: I can't remember whose entrance, either New Days or the
- 26:06Speaker 7: war Raiders.
- 26:07Speaker 9: They didn't went to a wide shot and you could
- 26:10Speaker 9: see people like, you know how like sometimes in a
- 26:12Speaker 9: late football game, like you know, the team the home team,
- 26:17Speaker 9: if the home team's driving and they fumble with you know,
- 26:20Speaker 9: in the thirty seconds left and the game is essentially over,
- 26:22Speaker 9: and you just see the people pouring out like that's
- 26:25Speaker 9: what was happening, Like like so many empty seats and
- 26:29Speaker 9: people actively walking away from this match.
- 26:32Speaker 11: It's just like, whoa, it was a look, we got.
- 26:36Speaker 2: A great idea to thrown to the wide.
- 26:39Speaker 7: Shot of the crowd right then.
- 26:41Speaker 4: Hell and the second match is the early bathroom break match.
- 26:45Speaker 4: Yeah that's not a good signs not a good sign
- 26:47Speaker 4: at all.
- 26:48Speaker 7: No, yeah, no, I mean it is just a video
- 26:51Speaker 7: game commercial. Really. That's why I was on pay per
- 26:54Speaker 7: view because because I keep on the Viking Raiders.
- 26:57Speaker 9: The war Raiders, uh look like the guys from that
- 27:01Speaker 9: video and they can address them, and they looked like
- 27:06Speaker 9: they look like they got they didn't even place in
- 27:09Speaker 9: a cosplay contest, Like they looked ridiculous outfits.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah I didn't. I didn't. I thought we were
- 27:19Speaker 2: watching How To Train Your Dragon with Yeah.
- 27:22Speaker 4: It was bad. Yeah, and that's all. That's almost It
- 27:26Speaker 4: makes you seem makes you given that that was the
- 27:29Speaker 4: case and that's how they looked and all that, it
- 27:31Speaker 4: makes you feel like that this was a business decision
- 27:34Speaker 4: to put this match on the show compared to especially
- 27:38Speaker 4: when you compare it to what the SmackDown Tag Division
- 27:42Speaker 4: is doing and how they've been the ones cooking for
- 27:44Speaker 4: the last couple of months and how they're about to
- 27:47Speaker 4: have a freaking TLC match for their titles. Yeah, why
- 27:51Speaker 4: couldn't That wasn't Wrestle Media because some video game company
- 27:57Speaker 4: ponied up enough cash, We're gonna shoehorn this little bullshit
- 28:00Speaker 4: in here.
- 28:02Speaker 7: And there's so much of that, Oh my god.
- 28:05Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely.
- 28:06Speaker 9: Obviously it's been getting a little worse and a little worse,
- 28:09Speaker 9: but this one just seemed like a big isalation, Like
- 28:13Speaker 9: so much shit on the mat, not just the one
- 28:15Speaker 9: logo in the middle.
- 28:16Speaker 7: There was like a dozen of them, and every fucking
- 28:18Speaker 7: Turnbuckle had a different logo on it.
- 28:20Speaker 4: It's just like Jesus, if there if there's a running
- 28:23Speaker 4: theme for the if there's a theme for this WrestleMania
- 28:26Speaker 4: or something that's going to be part of this WrestleMania's legacy,
- 28:30Speaker 4: I think it's definitely gonna be This is the this
- 28:33Speaker 4: is the WrestleMania that that we're Wwe put money above
- 28:38Speaker 4: the show. Yes, this is a lot of a lot
- 28:43Speaker 4: of aspects of this felt like money decisions versus good
- 28:49Speaker 4: of the show decisions, from the ticketing prices to the
- 28:53Speaker 4: way they laid out all this extra stuff for the weekend.
- 28:57Speaker 4: So a lot of it just we're making money more, man,
- 29:02Speaker 4: we're setting records more.
- 29:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:06Speaker 9: Great, you just gave you just gave us a so
- 29:09Speaker 9: so WrestleMania. Like very good, very nice that you are
- 29:14Speaker 9: all stuff in your pockets. That's all well and good,
- 29:18Speaker 9: you know, but it's like, I don't want to hear
- 29:20Speaker 9: about that when you just gave me this dog shit
- 29:22Speaker 9: made effect. Yeah, I don't want to hear about how
- 29:26Speaker 9: many how many bonuses Triple.
- 29:28Speaker 7: H is gonna be able to get this?
- 29:29Speaker 4: Yeah, you know exactly.
- 29:32Speaker 9: Yeah, did anyone watch the WrestleMania nine documentary, which I
- 29:36Speaker 9: have the recommended, was very like they make a big
- 29:39Speaker 9: point about like we wanted to make sure we always
- 29:43Speaker 9: had a twenty five dollar ticket, you know, and it
- 29:47Speaker 9: was like you couldn't get an obstructed view seat for
- 29:49Speaker 9: under two hundred dollars.
- 29:50Speaker 2: Oh my god, yeah you couldn't.
- 29:52Speaker 4: You probably couldn't park at that fucking stadium for twenty
- 29:55Speaker 4: five dollars.
- 29:56Speaker 11: You know. It's just like.
- 29:59Speaker 7: It's at a certain point it's gonna get where.
- 30:04Speaker 4: It weren't like the floor seats for WrestleMania nine like
- 30:06Speaker 4: just four hundred something like that. Yeah, the most expensive.
- 30:11Speaker 4: I don't think there was a single seat that was
- 30:12Speaker 4: over one thousand dollars for the WrestleMania and nine.
- 30:15Speaker 7: I don't think there was a seat over five hundred.
- 30:20Speaker 4: And now you can't even get in the fucking building
- 30:22Speaker 4: for less than that.
- 30:23Speaker 7: Yeah, it's crazy.
- 30:24Speaker 4: Inflation one thing. Sure, growth of the business, sure, I
- 30:28Speaker 4: mean the massive you know, growth of the event itself.
- 30:33Speaker 2: Sure, which took place in nineteen ninety three, the price
- 30:38Speaker 2: of a ticket was twenty five dollars. Wow, that's just
- 30:41Speaker 2: a common Google knowledge, I guess.
- 30:45Speaker 4: In the documentary, like the cheapest seats were twenty five dollars,
- 30:49Speaker 4: and they made us I forgot who it was. That
- 30:52Speaker 4: was somebody I guess logistics or whatever said acting made
- 30:56Speaker 4: the comment that they wanted to actively make a point
- 31:00Speaker 4: you have twenty five dollars tickets. No, it was it
- 31:03Speaker 4: was a point that they wanted to make that show
- 31:06Speaker 4: affordable to anyone.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Here's this, I had the screenshot. So if you wanted
- 31:11Speaker 2: to sit ringside ringside wrestmating nine two fifty dollars, that's
- 31:19Speaker 2: the most expensive ticket.
- 31:21Speaker 4: That's crazy.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Where we sat like well, you know, like kind of
- 31:26Speaker 2: roughly like where we sat like you know, far back
- 31:28Speaker 2: and whatever, we would have been fifty bucks to twenty
- 31:31Speaker 2: five dollars. Oh my god, Oh my god, that's crazy.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:40Speaker 2: I guess you think twice when you're paying that much
- 31:43Speaker 2: money now and then you're getting like The New Day
- 31:45Speaker 2: versus the war Raiders.
- 31:47Speaker 7: Mm hmm right yeah yeah.
- 31:51Speaker 4: So moving on. The next match was Jade Cargill versus Naomi,
- 32:01Speaker 4: which was a good match. Also the first single, first
- 32:07Speaker 4: ever single non title women's match without a gimmick in
- 32:13Speaker 4: WrestleMania history. Kind of wild that it took all the
- 32:17Speaker 4: way up to forty one, but again we mentioned that
- 32:19Speaker 4: in the pre show, but the match itself was a
- 32:22Speaker 4: really good match, like Naomi was storyline part aspects of
- 32:27Speaker 4: it aside. Naomi was a good opponent for j Cargill
- 32:31Speaker 4: to be pitted against that WrestleMania, because she has that
- 32:34Speaker 4: veteran experience and Naomi can work with anybody in the ring.
- 32:38Speaker 4: And she sold her ass off for Jay Cargill and
- 32:42Speaker 4: made her look like a million bucks while also not
- 32:45Speaker 4: completely diminishing herself, like she got her offense and she
- 32:49Speaker 4: showed her repertoire moves and the whole match looked good
- 32:56Speaker 4: and Jade hit that gnarly freaking power bomb. She powered
- 33:02Speaker 4: her up on her shoulders and then tossed her spun
- 33:05Speaker 4: around and thrilled ass. Yeah, yeah, I.
- 33:10Speaker 7: Mostly agree with you.
- 33:11Speaker 9: If they hadn't had Naomi cheat to win and they
- 33:15Speaker 9: had Jade win, which is what they did, I wish
- 33:17Speaker 9: it had maybe been a little shorter, a little more
- 33:19Speaker 9: Jade dominant.
- 33:22Speaker 7: And yeah, that power bomb was sick. And she does
- 33:25Speaker 7: the moves well, it's to get in.
- 33:27Speaker 9: From one move to the next move, that's her problem.
- 33:30Speaker 9: Everything still looks so deliberate, like she like it's not
- 33:34Speaker 9: second nature to her.
- 33:36Speaker 7: Maybe it never will be.
- 33:37Speaker 9: I don't know, but a lot of the really good
- 33:41Speaker 9: ones I could said it really good in the ring,
- 33:42Speaker 9: just it looks like they're not even thinking about it,
- 33:45Speaker 9: they're just doing it. And her it looks like she's
- 33:47Speaker 9: like saying, Okay, now I need to move five feet
- 33:51Speaker 9: to my left and wait for Naomi to grab my
- 33:56Speaker 9: left arm, and you know, like it looks like the
- 33:59Speaker 9: wheels are really slowly slow to turn for her. And
- 34:02Speaker 9: I hope she gets it, because I mean, nobody looks
- 34:05Speaker 9: like her. She looks great, unfortunately plagued by wardrobe map
- 34:10Speaker 9: functions throughout.
- 34:12Speaker 7: The whole match.
- 34:13Speaker 9: But it's just the she has a charisma and everything,
- 34:16Speaker 9: but it's just like to put in the air. She
- 34:19Speaker 9: does the moves, well, it's just getting from move one
- 34:22Speaker 9: to move two to move three.
- 34:23Speaker 7: That I think is her problem.
- 34:25Speaker 4: Still, Like you were just saying, yeah, stringing it together
- 34:28Speaker 4: and making it feel like natural, a natural wrestling match
- 34:31Speaker 4: as opposed to practice where you're going like this the
- 34:35Speaker 4: next moment something like that. With time, Yeah, she.
- 34:39Speaker 9: Caught Naomi coming off the top rope twice, but the
- 34:42Speaker 9: second time she just she like had the awkwardly. I
- 34:45Speaker 9: don't know if she was early or if Naomi was late,
- 34:48Speaker 9: or a little bit of both. But she stood there
- 34:51Speaker 9: like hunched over for what seemed like forever, waiting for
- 34:56Speaker 9: Naomi to come, you know, and it just like just
- 35:00Speaker 9: little things like that, and it's just a couple of
- 35:02Speaker 9: seconds here and there, really, you know, but it just
- 35:07Speaker 9: stands out, you know, especially, you know, especially when you've
- 35:13Speaker 9: got all these other matches that people aren't you know,
- 35:18Speaker 9: even even in the new day more rader match, like,
- 35:20Speaker 9: I didn't think anybody was having to think about what
- 35:22Speaker 9: they were doing.
- 35:23Speaker 7: They were just doing it. You know.
- 35:26Speaker 4: That is very true. That is true, very true. But
- 35:30Speaker 4: I will say to a certain say, in Jay's defense,
- 35:33Speaker 4: She's not the only one that I see that from.
- 35:35Speaker 4: There are a number of women on the roster where
- 35:40Speaker 4: you can see that at points in certain matches where
- 35:42Speaker 4: you can see them like going through the step by
- 35:45Speaker 4: step process of this. That may just be a limitation.
- 35:49Speaker 7: I guess I shouldn't. I shouldn't specifically pick on Jays.
- 35:52Speaker 7: She's not the only person that I have this criticism of.
- 35:54Speaker 4: Sure, you're not wrong, Yeah, I think it's it may
- 35:58Speaker 4: just be a limitation of the women's a vision or
- 36:00Speaker 4: just some of the talent that's there where you know,
- 36:03Speaker 4: it doesn't maybe they don't quite have the same number
- 36:06Speaker 4: of years in it like some of the older vets
- 36:09Speaker 4: that can pull that stuff off seamlessly, like a Bailey
- 36:13Speaker 4: or a Becky or you know, there are few who
- 36:16Speaker 4: are who I see that are relatively young. It can
- 36:20Speaker 4: seem to do that seamlessly, maybe like Tiffany Stratton's probably
- 36:24Speaker 4: one Biaka can do it for her relatively few years
- 36:30Speaker 4: of experience.
- 36:32Speaker 11: You know.
- 36:33Speaker 4: I think Rox and Perez I think can do that.
- 36:35Speaker 4: But other than that, yeah, I think a lot of them.
- 36:40Speaker 4: J J does seem to stick out a little bit more.
- 36:43Speaker 4: Maybe it's because she's in such a prominent feature position.
- 36:47Speaker 7: Yeah, that certainly could be a too m h.
- 36:51Speaker 4: But and also I think it is partially her lack
- 36:55Speaker 4: of experience as well. I do hope, like you said,
- 36:57Speaker 4: with time, I think she'll get better at that and
- 37:00Speaker 4: learn how to thread the thin thread moments to get
- 37:03Speaker 4: her together a little bit better.
- 37:06Speaker 9: I hope so, because I mean, like you figure, she
- 37:09Speaker 9: should she ought to be, or at least based purely
- 37:13Speaker 9: on how she looks ought to be in the world,
- 37:16Speaker 9: titles picture, right, But I can't picture her having a
- 37:21Speaker 9: decent enough match for me to believably think that she
- 37:24Speaker 9: could beat it, even EO, you know, even even being
- 37:27Speaker 9: as physically more imposing than EO with you know, I
- 37:32Speaker 9: wonder if it's just a matter of kind of changing
- 37:34Speaker 9: her style a little bit and maybe trying to make
- 37:37Speaker 9: her more of a like brawler type. I wonder if
- 37:40Speaker 9: that would, you know, kind of limiting the move set
- 37:43Speaker 9: doesn't have to be that fancy.
- 37:44Speaker 7: Look at Gunter.
- 37:45Speaker 9: He's just round and pound and he's you know, he
- 37:49Speaker 9: doesn't do anything super crazy.
- 37:52Speaker 7: I don't know, I don't know what.
- 37:53Speaker 4: The fix is with her that could potentially help. I
- 37:57Speaker 4: think a lot of people look at her just and
- 37:58Speaker 4: see her physique and automatically assume power game, and that's
- 38:02Speaker 4: kind of what they've built her ass so she seemingly
- 38:05Speaker 4: has to pull off these power moves all the time.
- 38:09Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think of NAILI was a great
- 38:11Speaker 2: choice though, for especially for her first singles match at WrestleMania.
- 38:16Speaker 2: I was kind of hoping for like a bigger entrance,
- 38:19Speaker 2: kind of hoping for some snow from the ceiling. But
- 38:22Speaker 2: if we didn't get none.
- 38:23Speaker 7: Of that we got a Jade's entrance is fucking cringey?
- 38:29Speaker 4: Was that Jim Cantory from Weather Channel? I thought I
- 38:32Speaker 4: heard somebody mention that. I don't know if it really
- 38:34Speaker 4: was him or if it was just some random Vegas
- 38:39Speaker 4: reporter because I when I was watching, I thought they.
- 38:43Speaker 7: What the fuck is?
- 38:45Speaker 4: Yeah? I thought they had gone to commercials. So my
- 38:47Speaker 4: back was turned to the TV and I'm just hearing
- 38:50Speaker 4: somebody talking about whether. I'm like, Okay, this must be
- 38:53Speaker 4: a commercial, but alsoden I hear Jade's entrance, A storm
- 38:56Speaker 4: is coming, I'm like, wait, what the fuck? And I
- 38:58Speaker 4: look back and I see that bullshit that they had.
- 39:01Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, that was supposed to be part of her.
- 39:03Speaker 4: Oh my god.
- 39:06Speaker 7: I'm glad they switched up naomisance.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Isn't it Moose?
- 39:10Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah that was.
- 39:14Speaker 7: It wasn't working for a heel?
- 39:16Speaker 4: Hell no?
- 39:17Speaker 7: Right?
- 39:20Speaker 2: Yeah? Still good match for her.
- 39:23Speaker 7: I think she.
- 39:24Speaker 2: I think she did. Alright, uh Doyle, Now that you
- 39:27Speaker 2: point out some of those things with the way she wrestles,
- 39:29Speaker 2: I'm now I'm gonna be looking for it, and it's
- 39:32Speaker 2: gonna probably bother me ship out of me. Now, I
- 39:35Speaker 2: guess I don't. I don't look at her like that.
- 39:38Speaker 2: Just look at this big powerhouse girl and just has
- 39:41Speaker 2: this different style. Maybe it's the style that they had
- 39:45Speaker 2: over an a w and she's just not quite used
- 39:47Speaker 2: to it here.
- 39:48Speaker 9: Whatever it is, like the specific move she did like
- 39:52Speaker 9: a tilted world backbreaker in Naomi and just like she's
- 39:57Speaker 9: setting up for it, just like way too early, if
- 40:00Speaker 9: that makes any sense, Like like she I think she
- 40:04Speaker 9: did an Irish whip and waited for but she's sitting
- 40:06Speaker 9: there like with her body contorted, waiting for the move
- 40:10Speaker 9: instead of like waiting until Naomi is like a step
- 40:13Speaker 9: away and then kind of doing it in one fluid motion.
- 40:16Speaker 7: I don't know, and I hope I'm describing this.
- 40:21Speaker 4: Makes sense because it tells you that the move is coming.
- 40:24Speaker 4: Like she if she throws her into the rope and
- 40:26Speaker 4: then contorts herself like she's waiting to catch and nail me,
- 40:29Speaker 4: it looks awkward. Yeah, natural, you're throwing the person into
- 40:36Speaker 4: the rope and maybe like a normal wrestler with dow
- 40:38Speaker 4: me into the rope, let them come back and then
- 40:41Speaker 4: when they're close thing, yeah, grab them and put them
- 40:43Speaker 4: into the move so that naturally versus you're sitting there,
- 40:47Speaker 4: got to the side, like arm up here, left, arm
- 40:50Speaker 4: this way, right, arm down here, exactly this way. She
- 40:53Speaker 4: naturally runs into the position and now execute the move. Then,
- 40:56Speaker 4: yet it doesn't look nat she did the.
- 40:58Speaker 7: Move very well, I'm not.
- 41:01Speaker 2: I hate when people wait for moves and it's too obvious.
- 41:05Speaker 4: It's a little too much of the sausage making process, right,
- 41:08Speaker 4: you know.
- 41:08Speaker 2: You know who's done that recently, Austin Theory and Grayson
- 41:12Speaker 2: Waller have been doing it with chair shots. They bend
- 41:15Speaker 2: over way too early, and they like stand there and
- 41:18Speaker 2: wait and wait and wait and then get the chair shot.
- 41:20Speaker 2: And it's driving me nuts because they do it every
- 41:23Speaker 2: fucking time.
- 41:24Speaker 7: But yeah, and they hit the chairs a lot, Yeah, exactly.
- 41:28Speaker 4: That's what happens when you can't crack somebody in the
- 41:30Speaker 4: dome no more. Back in the day, you needs to
- 41:32Speaker 4: be able to set up a headshot a lot better
- 41:33Speaker 4: because all you have to do is just turn your
- 41:35Speaker 4: back to the person, turn around, boom headshot. When you
- 41:39Speaker 4: when all chair shots have to be on the back,
- 41:42Speaker 4: I mean, if you're if somebody's supposed to deliver the
- 41:45Speaker 4: chair shot at support and time and say that person
- 41:47Speaker 4: who's delivering the shot is late. What are you left
- 41:50Speaker 4: to do? Oh my god, I'm struggling to get up.
- 41:53Speaker 4: Hang here, Oh I got hit. Like I think that's
- 41:58Speaker 4: the part of it. I think is just a problem
- 42:00Speaker 4: back chair shots period. There's only one real There's only
- 42:04Speaker 4: two ways you can take him, either hunched over or
- 42:07Speaker 4: standing up slightly hunched over. There's no way. It's hard
- 42:13Speaker 4: to make that look natural.
- 42:15Speaker 2: Speaking to somebody's not fucking natural. Let's talk about Jacob fat.
- 42:21Speaker 4: Jacob fa tou.
- 42:23Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about the Jacob and the next match.
- 42:26Speaker 4: L A Knight. Yeah, in the US Championship match, which
- 42:34Speaker 4: saw La Knight lose again his United States Championship. That
- 42:39Speaker 4: motherfucker can't keep this damn title for ship. They are
- 42:44Speaker 4: so committed to keeping him champion, and then like they
- 42:47Speaker 4: put the bells on him and it's like they remember,
- 42:49Speaker 4: oh that's right, this shit didn't work. Get it off
- 42:51Speaker 4: the get it off of him?
- 42:52Speaker 2: Well, I mean thinking about he's held he's held in
- 42:55Speaker 2: multiple times already, and he's only he got it.
- 42:58Speaker 4: He's a two time champion over Yeah, but he wanted
- 43:02Speaker 4: off Logan Paul lost it to shint Skat Knockingmora, won
- 43:05Speaker 4: it backt Knocking Moor, and now he's lost it to
- 43:09Speaker 4: Jacob Plottu.
- 43:11Speaker 2: He racked up those accolades right now now he's but yeah,
- 43:16Speaker 2: you're absolutely right. Uh, this man cannot hold onto that
- 43:20Speaker 2: United States title. It is the soap that he cannot grasp.
- 43:24Speaker 2: He keeps strugging and fucking now. You know what though, like, uh,
- 43:29Speaker 2: I guess if we had to have one of the
- 43:32Speaker 2: two titles the mad Car titles swapping hands currently, I
- 43:36Speaker 2: think it would be the United States. I like the
- 43:39Speaker 2: Icy having like, uh, a longer, healthier run, you know,
- 43:44Speaker 2: after after going through. That's how I see the Icy
- 43:46Speaker 2: title having longer runs.
- 43:49Speaker 4: But anyway, any either belt can have a long run
- 43:54Speaker 4: if they just put it on the right person. Like,
- 43:56Speaker 4: I don't think Jacob Patsu is gonna be dropping this
- 43:58Speaker 4: belt anytime soon. I don't agree, man, I.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Think, yeah, I think we all kind of saw this
- 44:05Speaker 2: happen in the squash of Jacob fa To, you know,
- 44:09Speaker 2: squashing you know, l A Knight here. But I'm happy
- 44:12Speaker 2: with the result as much as I like Ella Knight.
- 44:15Speaker 2: H'm so you know over Jacob fa To, Like this
- 44:20Speaker 2: man is going straight to the fucking top. Like, like
- 44:23Speaker 2: I said, let this man have a long title run
- 44:27Speaker 2: with this, with this United States Championship. Let him bring
- 44:30Speaker 2: back the inaugural Open Challenge match. Every week, just see
- 44:34Speaker 2: him squashing motherfuckers. That's what I want to see. I
- 44:37Speaker 2: want to see him out there running his mouth. Who's next?
- 44:40Speaker 4: You know this?
- 44:41Speaker 2: Every week somebody else comes out and just gets fucking squashed.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Do it, don't care who. You don't need the bloodline involved.
- 44:49Speaker 2: You don't need Solo there. You don't need you know,
- 44:51Speaker 2: people keep getting injured anyway from the blood line, but
- 44:54Speaker 2: we don't. You don't even need him involved. This is
- 44:57Speaker 2: something he can do on his own, on his own.
- 45:01Speaker 7: He really speaking of Solo. Jacob I too really fucking
- 45:04Speaker 7: stole his lunch. Huh right, Like this was supposed to
- 45:07Speaker 7: be what Solo was gonna be.
- 45:09Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, but jacob I two is just I mean,
- 45:14Speaker 9: this match over delivered, uh in spades.
- 45:17Speaker 4: I thought.
- 45:19Speaker 7: I can't remember enjoying an l A night match as
- 45:22Speaker 7: much as I enjoyed this one.
- 45:23Speaker 11: Uh.
- 45:23Speaker 9: He hit all his jump up try You know, I've
- 45:26Speaker 9: off complained about his uh inability to hit those moves
- 45:30Speaker 9: where he's jumping up to the top rope, but I
- 45:32Speaker 9: think he did it two or three times and nailed
- 45:35Speaker 9: it each time.
- 45:36Speaker 7: Uh that one, uh moon Salt into the.
- 45:41Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I mean they didn't they, as Michaels always say,
- 45:45Speaker 9: didn't get all of it.
- 45:46Speaker 7: But uh, I think the camera work actually covered it
- 45:49Speaker 7: up well enough.
- 45:50Speaker 4: I was just about to say, yeah, the camera saved
- 45:52Speaker 4: that one because I was seeing it from other angles in.
- 45:55Speaker 7: And the crowd popped.
- 45:56Speaker 9: So, I mean live it must have looked pretty good, right,
- 46:00Speaker 9: But uh, yeah, I mean Jacob undeniable.
- 46:04Speaker 7: I mean it's kind of it's not in a different
- 46:07Speaker 7: way than Jay, but it's just like you have to.
- 46:09Speaker 9: You can't not put this title on him at this time,
- 46:12Speaker 9: like right now, because it's just undeniable.
- 46:16Speaker 7: I don't know how they're gonna keep.
- 46:17Speaker 9: Him as a fucking heel if that's what they're gonna do.
- 46:21Speaker 7: Uh, it's just the crowd really really wants to cheer
- 46:25Speaker 7: for him.
- 46:27Speaker 4: The thing I don't think. I don't think they're gonna
- 46:29Speaker 4: keep him as a heel. He still has unfinished bloodline business.
- 46:34Speaker 4: It hasn't been it has been, you know, just touched
- 46:37Speaker 4: on briefly in the lead up to WrestleMania obviously dissension
- 46:41Speaker 4: between him and Solo, and now with uh Tomatonga injured
- 46:48Speaker 4: as well, the only thing that's left is really Solo
- 46:52Speaker 4: and Jacob and that's probably might be a good thing
- 46:56Speaker 4: because then it can just be them to one on
- 46:59Speaker 4: one one and sort out their differences and whatever it is.
- 47:04Speaker 4: That's how they're gonna get Jacob Fatu turning face is
- 47:08Speaker 4: he's eventually just gonna He's gonna be the one to
- 47:10Speaker 4: break away from Solo and Solo won't have anybody else
- 47:14Speaker 4: to help him beat down Uh Jacob Fasu week on,
- 47:19Speaker 4: week weekend and week out. And if they play it right,
- 47:23Speaker 4: that can work the Solo's advetage. Maybe that can help
- 47:26Speaker 4: build Solo back up as opposed.
- 47:28Speaker 7: To huh would you describe him as so ini.
- 47:35Speaker 4: In a manner of speaking. But yet if he can,
- 47:39Speaker 4: if he can sit there and go toe to toe
- 47:41Speaker 4: with Jacob by himself and be the one, you know,
- 47:44Speaker 4: really giving Jacob a run for the money by himself,
- 47:47Speaker 4: that can maybe help Solo look like what he was
- 47:52Speaker 4: when he first debuted, back when he was just a
- 47:54Speaker 4: silent guy with the thumb and heal and he had
- 47:58Speaker 4: that presence about him because that's really what kind of
- 48:01Speaker 4: hurts Solo more than anything. He started talking. Yeah, right,
- 48:06Speaker 4: when he was just quiet with the hoodie and the
- 48:09Speaker 4: thumb and laying motherfuckers down, everybody thought Solo was that dude.
- 48:13Speaker 4: Everybody thought he was a beast. Then he started talking,
- 48:17Speaker 4: and we realized that puberty never kicked in for his
- 48:20Speaker 4: vocal cords, and he ain't have the same aura like
- 48:25Speaker 4: Jay or Roman or the same mic skills as Jimmy.
- 48:30Speaker 4: And that's what it kind of fell apart for. But
- 48:33Speaker 4: if he can at least go back to being that
- 48:35Speaker 4: beast dude in the ring and he's out there, you know,
- 48:39Speaker 4: giving Solo that work, maybe even take the title off
- 48:42Speaker 4: of one time before Jacob went to back or something
- 48:45Speaker 4: like that, that can maybe help rehabilitate Solo a bit.
- 48:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, pretty fucking right there. Clean with
- 48:54Speaker 2: all the movies. I'm watching La nk off the top
- 48:56Speaker 2: Rope and I'm watching Solo do the the.
- 49:00Speaker 11: Moon sow.
- 49:01Speaker 2: He does, like just clean. It's great. Yeah, you know,
- 49:04Speaker 2: what a great stage to do it on. Because we've
- 49:07Speaker 2: seen Lae Knight two especially fucking up on stuff time
- 49:11Speaker 2: after time. Again, We're just like, if you can't do it,
- 49:14Speaker 2: stop doing it. Well, you're lucky man, you did it here.
- 49:19Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 49:19Speaker 9: I don't know when it became such a trend to
- 49:22Speaker 9: get a mask made for WrestleMania and come wear it
- 49:26Speaker 9: for ten seconds and then take it off at the beginning,
- 49:29Speaker 9: but Jacobatus Werewolf mask was pretty fucking cool, apparently, as
- 49:35Speaker 9: all of these masks are made by the guy that
- 49:37Speaker 9: was doing the Bray Wyatt masks.
- 49:40Speaker 7: But I thought that Werewolf mask was kind of It's just.
- 49:42Speaker 9: Like, if you're gonna do go, if you're gonna get
- 49:43Speaker 9: it made, keep it on a little longer at least,
- 49:46Speaker 9: you know, Like they come out with these masks and
- 49:49Speaker 9: they wear it for five seconds and they take it
- 49:51Speaker 9: off immediately.
- 49:52Speaker 4: It's like what.
- 49:54Speaker 2: I was thinking this. Yeah, I was thinking to.
- 50:00Speaker 9: Tom does it, Ronny does It's?
- 50:05Speaker 3: Who else?
- 50:05Speaker 7: Cod Cody uh fex had a mask on top of
- 50:10Speaker 7: his mask.
- 50:12Speaker 2: Especially Cody Cody had like this fucking iron Man type
- 50:16Speaker 2: fucking we'll get to that later, fucking guy. Anyway, I
- 50:20Speaker 2: wanted to bring up, like, I know I should have
- 50:21Speaker 2: brought this up in the beginning, but did you guys
- 50:24Speaker 2: know that green Shirt guy got his own fucking entrance yep, no, fuck,
- 50:32Speaker 2: I'm because I'm rewatching it now and I'm just seeing
- 50:34Speaker 2: Green Shirt Guy and just like thinking about Hi. I'm like,
- 50:37Speaker 2: what the fuck, man, how much money do you have
- 50:39Speaker 2: to pay get your own fucking entrance? What the hell
- 50:43Speaker 2: with Wade whoever.
- 50:45Speaker 11: He came out?
- 50:45Speaker 4: Why the hell did he get his own entrance? But
- 50:47Speaker 4: not Trinidad Flag Guy?
- 50:50Speaker 9: Really, well, he may have, He's just not as recognizable,
- 50:55Speaker 9: so nobody cared.
- 50:57Speaker 7: Did Lad get his own entrance? I didn't know. I
- 50:59Speaker 7: don't think I saw Lad.
- 51:03Speaker 11: That.
- 51:03Speaker 9: I don't know.
- 51:05Speaker 7: I don't think I saw vladim Yeah. I think I
- 51:09Speaker 7: saw people with posting pictures with him though, so it
- 51:12Speaker 7: must have been there.
- 51:14Speaker 9: Green guy has Green Shirt Guy is like a cousin
- 51:17Speaker 9: who's like a producer or something.
- 51:20Speaker 2: I heard rumor that he like a sort of Reddit
- 51:22Speaker 2: post that he's related to one of the referees.
- 51:26Speaker 7: But okay, there, Yeah, I believe anything every on the internet,
- 51:31Speaker 7: So I don't know. Well, yeah, it's usually true.
- 51:34Speaker 2: I want to I want somebody to get an interview
- 51:37Speaker 2: with them. I think they'd be cool, Like, how's nobody
- 51:39Speaker 2: got their hands on this guy for fucking interview?
- 51:42Speaker 4: I'm sure that I'm sure that somebody's got an interview
- 51:45Speaker 4: out there if you look hard enough. I just don't
- 51:49Speaker 4: think anybody cares enough about green Shirt guy in search.
- 51:52Speaker 7: H documentary about Vladimir.
- 51:59Speaker 4: I just wonder what the fuck green Shirt God does
- 52:01Speaker 4: for a living to attend all this shit, like even
- 52:05Speaker 4: if if he, even if he's related to somebody in
- 52:08Speaker 4: w w E, they're not breaking them off free tickets
- 52:11Speaker 4: every damn week, ain't no way, especially not no WrestleMania
- 52:17Speaker 4: or nothing. Maybe every once in a while, your your
- 52:21Speaker 4: cousin who's the referee, can hit you up with a ticket,
- 52:23Speaker 4: maybe in a small town venue or something like that,
- 52:26Speaker 4: but front row every week, Nah, he coming out pocket
- 52:31Speaker 4: for that, and travel expenses and all that. What could
- 52:35Speaker 4: she ask work from home job does he have?
- 52:42Speaker 2: Anyway?
- 52:45Speaker 4: Where we were onto the next match, which was supposed
- 52:51Speaker 4: to have been but there ain't my Sterio versus El
- 52:55Speaker 4: Greene a medicano, but instead due to a last minute
- 52:59Speaker 4: injury legit injury to Ray mysterio apparently towards growing muscle
- 53:04Speaker 4: or injured or growing injury or some sort.
- 53:07Speaker 7: That's gotta hurt. I don't care where are you're from.
- 53:09Speaker 4: Yeah, Ray, myss Stereo was replaced with Ray Phoenix and
- 53:17Speaker 4: in this match, which was relatively short but still good.
- 53:23Speaker 4: Oh this is so much.
- 53:24Speaker 7: This is this is the most fun thing on the
- 53:26Speaker 7: whole week.
- 53:28Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a it was a great match, showed out.
- 53:32Speaker 7: It was kind of devoid of.
- 53:33Speaker 9: Fun outside of this, there really wasn't a whole There's
- 53:36Speaker 9: you know, there's some goofy backstage segment anything.
- 53:40Speaker 7: There was nothing. This is the only fun.
- 53:44Speaker 2: Yeah, true, dude, Oh my god, Like on Raw this week,
- 53:50Speaker 2: the video package of him like like like being Mexican,
- 53:55Speaker 2: Mexico's like greatest like hero or whatever, like the people
- 53:59Speaker 2: just the Ai. What you can do with AI?
- 54:01Speaker 11: Now?
- 54:01Speaker 2: I was dying the video package that they showed just
- 54:04Speaker 2: him like digitally being put in like these famous events
- 54:08Speaker 2: and like this crowds like surrounding him like flags and like,
- 54:12Speaker 2: oh I love it. How about Ray Phoenix? Dude, this
- 54:17Speaker 2: guy just recently signed with w w E. Right, this
- 54:20Speaker 2: is the third match, third match? Yeah on the rest
- 54:23Speaker 2: Mania card. You know, I mean his brother got is it?
- 54:27Speaker 2: Are they really brothers? Him and Penta? Okay, Okay, so
- 54:31Speaker 2: you know, I don't know a lot too much about
- 54:32Speaker 2: these guys from a w I assume that's where they
- 54:35Speaker 2: came from, right.
- 54:38Speaker 4: Owner.
- 54:40Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but yeah, yeah, w W is just the
- 54:50Speaker 2: last stop.
- 54:52Speaker 4: Their latest stop. Yeah, I mean before this, they were
- 54:55Speaker 4: last n a W and there was a whole saga
- 54:58Speaker 4: with them getting out and ray Phoenix was supposed to
- 55:02Speaker 4: leave AW around the same time as Pensa and they
- 55:05Speaker 4: were both supposed to come to WWE together, but ray
- 55:08Speaker 4: Phoenix was injured, so Tony added more time onto his
- 55:14Speaker 4: contract and wouldn't let him leave around the same time.
- 55:16Speaker 4: And it was whole little pettiness and back and forth
- 55:19Speaker 4: and YadA YadA, and they eventually finally worked it out,
- 55:22Speaker 4: and the second he was out of AW he was
- 55:24Speaker 4: on the next thing, smoking the Connecticut.
- 55:28Speaker 9: Well, you know, it worked out good, I think because
- 55:30Speaker 9: if they had gone at the same time, they would
- 55:33Speaker 9: have been a tag team, which would have been fun,
- 55:35Speaker 9: don't get me wrong, But for them, I think what
- 55:40Speaker 9: they probably want, at least for a little while, is
- 55:42Speaker 9: to be singles.
- 55:45Speaker 7: I'm sure that they would have turned them into the
- 55:46Speaker 7: Lucha Brothers and stuck them into tag rags, which would
- 55:50Speaker 7: have been.
- 55:51Speaker 4: That is drop. That was probably the original plan, was
- 55:53Speaker 4: to bring them into the Luca brothers. But yeah, this
- 55:56Speaker 4: did you know, wind up working to both of their benefits.
- 56:00Speaker 7: Yeah, and I mean you can that's always there. You
- 56:02Speaker 7: can always do that, you know, whenever.
- 56:07Speaker 4: And when they do it, it's gonna be a it's
- 56:08Speaker 4: gonna be a major thing. It's gonna get a huge pop.
- 56:12Speaker 4: They now have this one extra special thing that in
- 56:14Speaker 4: their bag they can pull out when they want to. Yeah.
- 56:18Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true because you know what, now you got
- 56:21Speaker 2: somebody like me who has not seen them on a
- 56:25Speaker 2: w so you know, these guys are new to me,
- 56:28Speaker 2: and the way they're being built separately, you know, I
- 56:32Speaker 2: kind of rather enjoy it. I enjoy Yeah, I enjoyed
- 56:35Speaker 2: this match, dude. I mean it wasn't just uh, the
- 56:38Speaker 2: whole gimmick of Medicano, it was the whole match was
- 56:43Speaker 2: really well, like you know, El Grande, he's a fucking
- 56:48Speaker 2: great wrestler, And for the spectacular and for Ray Phoenix
- 56:54Speaker 2: being put in at the last minute and being able
- 56:56Speaker 2: to you know, pull off a pretty damn good match,
- 56:59Speaker 2: I was. I honestly, I was like, I kinda like
- 57:02Speaker 2: this better than I probably would have gone with Ray Mysterio.
- 57:06Speaker 4: Oh definitely, yeah, I was.
- 57:07Speaker 2: I was I was pretty happy with the result.
- 57:09Speaker 4: I got m h. I think I said in the
- 57:12Speaker 4: pre show that, yeah, him and Ray would have had
- 57:15Speaker 4: to been some sort of shenanigans. There's something else involved
- 57:19Speaker 4: to make it really worthwhile. Yeah, because Ray is pretty
- 57:24Speaker 4: much a paint by numbers at this point in his career.
- 57:28Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's there, you know, there's a lot of
- 57:29Speaker 2: spots in this that I you know, it's just fucking great.
- 57:34Speaker 2: Definitely a different style of wrestling we won't we don't
- 57:37Speaker 2: normally see from him. Uh, and you know what this
- 57:40Speaker 2: story Oh, I got a note going by my house. Wonderful.
- 57:45Speaker 2: The storyline isn't over like, it's just I love it.
- 57:49Speaker 2: How he didn't get unmasked like we all thought he
- 57:52Speaker 2: was going to the most obvious right, we thought he was,
- 57:55Speaker 2: but he fucking.
- 57:56Speaker 4: He didn't get him. Yeah, he actually won over Ray.
- 58:00Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 58:02Speaker 2: I did not see that.
- 58:03Speaker 14: Coming, right, Like the band hasn't been unmasked. He get
- 58:09Speaker 14: you know, he gets the win, and and the continues.
- 58:12Speaker 14: I mean it's like, hey, struck strike with the Irons, Like,
- 58:16Speaker 14: let's not unmasking me. I still people were still enjoying this,
- 58:18Speaker 14: and you know what, like the video package, I got
- 58:21Speaker 14: this week on Raw confirms it.
- 58:23Speaker 2: I still love this gimmick and I went to go
- 58:26Speaker 2: for a little bit longer.
- 58:28Speaker 7: Like the entrance. His entrance is great with the mariatis.
- 58:35Speaker 2: From the Gulf of America.
- 58:37Speaker 9: Yeah, but then which they which they apparently changed last
- 58:40Speaker 9: week and then they tried to and they're like, oh, well,
- 58:43Speaker 9: when he was born, it was called the Gulf of Mexico.
- 58:46Speaker 11: So that's.
- 58:48Speaker 9: McAfee got a laugh out of me, even because they
- 58:51Speaker 9: were talking. When they were talking about he said the
- 58:53Speaker 9: same tattoo as Chad Gable and he was like, a
- 58:55Speaker 9: lot of people have that tattoo. Why just last week
- 58:58Speaker 9: I was thinking about getting what I was like, that's
- 59:01Speaker 9: the funniest thing.
- 59:02Speaker 7: Fan mcaves said, good.
- 59:05Speaker 9: Uh I did I did have During the pre show,
- 59:07Speaker 9: I pitched an idea where they put he puts the
- 59:10Speaker 9: metal in his mask and Ray went.
- 59:12Speaker 7: To goes to sixty sixty nine him, WHOA, that's a
- 59:15Speaker 7: different match.
- 59:17Speaker 9: W have to dark goes to six one nine him
- 59:21Speaker 9: and hurts his knee or whatever because of the metal.
- 59:23Speaker 7: They pretty much ran that spot. When uh with a
- 59:27Speaker 7: kick or whatever and he hurt his foot. I was like,
- 59:29Speaker 7: I think that was my I think that's my spot.
- 59:31Speaker 4: I think they just changed and it probably was had
- 59:35Speaker 4: it been Ray.
- 59:36Speaker 7: Yeah, that's proud of myself that.
- 59:40Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a definitely a good match, you know, the
- 59:45Speaker 4: best of well, they made the best out of what
- 59:47Speaker 4: they had to deal with in that situation. So good match,
- 59:50Speaker 4: and yeah, we get to see how much longer El
- 59:54Speaker 4: Grande Americano, how long the storyline goes for. Moving on
- 1:00:00Speaker 4: to the penultimate match of Night one, we had Can't
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: Fight twenty twenty five between Tiffany Stratton defending her women
- 1:00:13Speaker 4: WW Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair. What you want to
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: talk about, some brutality in this match, and I don't
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: mean that necessarily in a good way. This wasn't necessarily
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: some power bombing, slobbery knocker of just moves this at
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: a third. But Charlotte, as has been talked about online
- 1:00:36Speaker 4: pretty much since this match, she seemed to be working
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: Tiffany stiff as fuck, and it.
- 1:00:43Speaker 7: Looked like she was sandbagging her a little bit.
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I think I commented that like Tiffany Stratton
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: was selling her ass off for Charlotte Flair. But Charlotte
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: was not returned in the favor and every time I.
- 1:00:57Speaker 7: Sold the shit out of that kind of that natural
- 1:00:59Speaker 7: select action off the top rope.
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: That kind of botched and it didn't even hit. But
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: like so she got hit by a nuke, right, anything
- 1:01:08Speaker 4: to Tiffany. Tiffany was laid out like she got molly wopped.
- 1:01:12Speaker 4: Tiffy was trying to get a little bit of offense there.
- 1:01:15Speaker 7: Yeah, Michael Cole couldn't even cover with her, like, oh,
- 1:01:17Speaker 7: I don't know if they got all.
- 1:01:18Speaker 4: That one right, because she was just like dead anytime
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: Tiffany got Tiffany never seemed to be able to string
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: together more than like two moves of offense before Charlotte
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: shut it down. Yeah, it seemed to be this the
- 1:01:32Speaker 4: whole story of this match.
- 1:01:33Speaker 6: Like this was.
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: It wasn't that it was a bad match. It just
- 1:01:39Speaker 4: did not leave a good taste in my mouth afterwards.
- 1:01:42Speaker 7: Yeah, it was just.
- 1:01:44Speaker 9: Tiffany was beat up after her hand she had a
- 1:01:47Speaker 9: big nod on her foreheads.
- 1:01:49Speaker 7: I was so unclear what was going on with her teeth,
- 1:01:52Speaker 7: her mouth was bleeding. She like wrestlers ought to look
- 1:01:57Speaker 7: like after a match.
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: Actually she she look like she lost. Yeah, and she
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: surprisingly won, but she like Charlotte beat the ship out
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: of her.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it was uh, it was pretty
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: stiff man, and you could tell, uh, you know, just
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: the words that were being exchanged, the looks, the styles
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: vastly different. Like these women are here for a fucking
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: paycheck and they do not like each other. I will
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: say I I really liked uh Tiffy's entrance, she said,
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: you know back in NXT, like this is like the
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: dream entrance she wanted, like, uh, the Barbie.
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: Yeah, the.
- 1:02:41Speaker 7: First Hey, yeah, but I get they had to set
- 1:02:44Speaker 7: up the boxes and yeah.
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I yeah, I liked it. I thought
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: it was pretty cool. And you know, I mean I'm
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: a Charlotte Flair fan, so I you know, she a
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: lot of heat during this fucking match, and I was
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: just I would have been content if Charlotte would have
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: won this match. I know a lot of people don't
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: like that, but I would have been content, you know,
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: just another championship title run for her. I was very surprised.
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: I definitely thought Charlotte was leaving with it, not just
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: because I'm a fucking mark.
- 1:03:22Speaker 4: I just thought I think everybody thought Charlotte was gonna win. Yeah,
- 1:03:27Speaker 4: you know what I like to change, but yeah, almost
- 1:03:31Speaker 4: it almost makes you wonder if they changed their mind. Yeah,
- 1:03:35Speaker 4: it almost makes you wonder, like had was the original
- 1:03:37Speaker 4: plan for Charlotte to win and then they changed their
- 1:03:41Speaker 4: mind either a because fans turned on Charlotte and started
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: booing her. Yeah, it was the original plan for you know,
- 1:03:47Speaker 4: Charlotte to have this return babyface run into WrestleMania and
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: then emerge victorious champion. And then because fans turned on
- 1:03:56Speaker 4: her and she turned to heel, they decided to pivot
- 1:03:59Speaker 4: and and let Tiffy go over Or did they decide
- 1:04:05Speaker 4: against Charlotte winning because of how nasty this feud seemingly got.
- 1:04:13Speaker 4: I mean it kind of a stretched maybe to think
- 1:04:15Speaker 4: that they would punish somebody the caliber Charlotte Flair like that,
- 1:04:20Speaker 4: but I kind of can't rule it out given how
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: these feud is played out.
- 1:04:25Speaker 9: H Well, I mean I'm not I'm I'm Charlotte Flair apologists,
- 1:04:31Speaker 9: but I mean, last she wasn't in Wrestlingia forty she
- 1:04:36Speaker 9: was injured. So but WrestleMania thirty nine, she put Rhea over,
- 1:04:40Speaker 9: you know, so it's not like, uh, you know, it's
- 1:04:44Speaker 9: not like she never puts anybody over.
- 1:04:49Speaker 7: Does.
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: Certainly I'm not and I'm not saying that Charlotte is
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: the type that you know doesn't do that, because like
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: you said, yes, she did very much put Rea Ripley
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: over in thirty nine. But it also it felt like
- 1:05:05Speaker 4: thirty nine.
- 1:05:06Speaker 11: As a smoother transition, I think, a.
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: Much smoother transition, And it felt like Ria at thirty
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: nine was way more over and more primed for that
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: championship than Tiffy was now, even though Tiffy's already the champion.
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: Seems like Tiffy's Tiffy's popular. Was she as popular now
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: as Ria was going into thirty nine that I don't
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: necessarily know. It felt like all the momentum was behind
- 1:05:39Speaker 4: Ria going into thirty nine. This one I didn't feel
- 1:05:46Speaker 4: the same. I didn't feel like there was momentum behind
- 1:05:48Speaker 4: Tiffy or she's that you know, on that meteoric rise
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: or anything like that. It's like, she's here, she's popular,
- 1:05:57Speaker 4: she's won of the fans over, she's solidly your baby
- 1:06:00Speaker 4: face right now. But I don't know, man, I.
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: Just watching this match with like no volume at all.
- 1:06:11Speaker 7: You can just see the fucking the you that you
- 1:06:15Speaker 7: can't hear them calling the spots.
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: Yeah, that too, spots, But you can.
- 1:06:23Speaker 7: You know, if you listen to match with headphones, you
- 1:06:26Speaker 7: can hear a lot.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I did. Like my favorite comment I
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: think I mentioned it with Tiffany Stratton, was it's chippy
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: time because they were a chip tooth. Yeah, I could.
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: I was trying to look for where it happened. You know,
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: it could have been anywhere, because she looks like she
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: got hit in the face a couple of times.
- 1:06:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I said, I don't think it. I don't think
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: her teeth got chipped. I think it was some sort
- 1:06:53Speaker 4: of stain or something.
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: I thought it was a veneer that may have came off,
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: But yeah, you might be right to like, it might
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: have been a makeup smear, yeah.
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: Smear or something in a little bit. Maybe just seeing
- 1:07:07Speaker 4: the close up of the of it, it looks like
- 1:07:11Speaker 4: her tooth is still there, but like it's stayed like
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: freaking probably from Charlotte being stiff as hell, but it
- 1:07:16Speaker 4: probably kicked her dead in the fucking mouth. It got
- 1:07:20Speaker 4: some black off at the bottom of her boot.
- 1:07:22Speaker 7: I like, yeah, you know what.
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: It could be that it looks like like, Yeah, I
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: thought it might be a veneer that may have fallen
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: out or something. Yeah, I think you're right.
- 1:07:34Speaker 9: She at the press conference like an hour later, and
- 1:07:37Speaker 9: she was fine. Like whatever it was, it was very
- 1:07:42Speaker 9: easy to fact or it wasn't much of anything.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting some of that shoe leather on.
- 1:07:50Speaker 4: There, you know, still doesn't change the visual though. Unfortunately
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: that visual was forever out there of her looking like
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: a street fighter character on the tinue screen.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: She won, though, so she's like, yeah, it may have
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: looked weird or terrible or whateverbody whooped your ass?
- 1:08:09Speaker 9: Hey when when Tiffy beats Charlotte, Charlotte raise her hand
- 1:08:15Speaker 9: and we didn't get that, but Charlotte did give her
- 1:08:17Speaker 9: like the kind of.
- 1:08:18Speaker 7: Like the nod kind of thing and she was walking away.
- 1:08:21Speaker 7: I kind of almost nailed that one.
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: Yeah, something tells me this is this feud is not
- 1:08:26Speaker 4: over with yet though, Like, I don't think Charlotte is
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: just gonna move on to the next babyface she doesn't like.
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: I still think it's possible that Charlotte may get that title.
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: I can see somewhere where there's a rematch or something,
- 1:08:45Speaker 4: or they play up, they play on the fact that
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: Tiffy looks so beat up afterwards, but managed the sneak
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: out of victory. And who knows, maybe Charlotte plays my
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: games with her and bates her into another match, you know,
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: plays on her motions or her ego or something. You know,
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: you didn't really win, you know you got lucky. Do
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: you really feel like a champion? Look at you? Look
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: at that picture of you on the screen. Does that
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: look like a champion? And somehow just suckers Tiffany and saying,
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: all right, fuck it, I'll give you a rematch. Let's
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: do it again. I'll beat you for good this time,
- 1:09:18Speaker 4: And then Charlotte kicks her ass and becomes champion, so
- 1:09:24Speaker 4: you may still get your wish Wayne of struggling to
- 1:09:30Speaker 4: make that belt sit on hips that she ain't got.
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: The only woman to wear that thong loose. Huh dude,
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: I brought that joke up at the party and people
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: were fucking dying.
- 1:09:46Speaker 14: Uh.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I had like nine people in my fucking
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: house for WrestleMania, and Night one was way more people
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: in the night too. But yeah, I think it was great.
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: I think hopefully next year I have just about the
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: same amount. I don't know what you guys, what your
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: WrestleMania set.
- 1:10:03Speaker 11: Up was like.
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: Me in this me in my room watching TV, watching
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: it and then having my computer up chatting and discord.
- 1:10:12Speaker 4: I didn't do nothing special this year. I ain't going nowhere,
- 1:10:15Speaker 4: none of that. Next year in New Orleans, however, I'm
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: looking to go to New Orleans for WrestleMania. Whether I
- 1:10:26Speaker 4: actually attend the event, that depends on what the fuck
- 1:10:29Speaker 4: WW you want to charge for them damn tickets. Yeah,
- 1:10:32Speaker 4: but if nothing else, I want to be in New
- 1:10:34Speaker 4: Orleans for everything else surrounding WrestleMania.
- 1:10:39Speaker 7: It's a cool town, I'll tell you that.
- 1:10:42Speaker 4: And the fact I've never been to New Orleans before either,
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: so that double effect. AnyWho, Moving on to the main
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: event of Night one, triple threat match, Roman Reigns versus
- 1:10:55Speaker 4: Seth Rollins versus CM Punk, who was accompanied by Romans
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: wise Man Paul Hayman. Without it should not be surprising
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: to anyone that this was by far the best match
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: of the night, both in terms of match quality and
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: storytelling and all of.
- 1:11:19Speaker 9: That everything showmanship. From the moment That's Rollin's music hit,
- 1:11:25Speaker 9: it cooked. His entrance was awesome. Roman's entrance was I mean,
- 1:11:29Speaker 9: Roman's entrance was pretty simple. But like that those boards
- 1:11:33Speaker 9: with all the with you know, Yokazuna.
- 1:11:35Speaker 4: And the family.
- 1:11:38Speaker 7: That ship was cool.
- 1:11:39Speaker 9: Uh you know, uh living color called in living color,
- 1:11:44Speaker 9: which of course is something different.
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:11:47Speaker 7: That was awesome.
- 1:11:49Speaker 4: Yeah. Even the moment of Roman, like looking to the
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: side where normally Paul would be and no one was there. Oh,
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: little subtle moments.
- 1:11:57Speaker 7: Like that, he didn't know what to do with the
- 1:11:59Speaker 7: old the falla.
- 1:12:01Speaker 4: Yeah, Roman, I mean not Roman, but Seth kind of
- 1:12:05Speaker 4: playing off two people's different entrances with the flamethrower, which
- 1:12:09Speaker 4: was previously done by the Rock and then takes off
- 1:12:12Speaker 4: that outfit. It has the all white underneath the light
- 1:12:14Speaker 4: shining on him like he's glowing. You can almost say
- 1:12:17Speaker 4: that was a play on Seawan's theme, but he still
- 1:12:21Speaker 4: find a way to make it his own. It was
- 1:12:24Speaker 4: across the board. Yeah, great interests. And then obviously once
- 1:12:27Speaker 4: the match started, they just started going to fucking town
- 1:12:31Speaker 4: on each other.
- 1:12:32Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:12:35Speaker 4: And then we get to the to the climax to
- 1:12:38Speaker 4: the final act. Everybody's laid out. You see Paul, they
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: cut the Paul him in and you're like, okay, that's
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: time for this part of the story. What's about to happen.
- 1:12:51Speaker 4: You see Paul Hammon go rabbit chair, head to the ring,
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: look at everybody, they would Punk is to his left,
- 1:13:01Speaker 4: Roman's to his right. He has slides that chair over
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: to see him Punk and everybody's like, oh shit, he
- 1:13:09Speaker 4: does rob and he's going with Punk. He's going with Punk,
- 1:13:13Speaker 4: gets in the ring, tells Punk lay his ass out
- 1:13:16Speaker 4: and oh yeah, to the nuts on see him Punk
- 1:13:21Speaker 4: dropped his ass. God, Now at that point, did you
- 1:13:26Speaker 4: think that's how it was gonna end? Did you think
- 1:13:27Speaker 4: he was he was going to choose Punk and that
- 1:13:30Speaker 4: would be it?
- 1:13:32Speaker 7: I mean, like, oh I had him leaving with Seth.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: From the gap, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it makes
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: so much sense. I mean we talked about how how
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: Punk and Roman are just a little bit higher of
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: a tier, of a level of a superstar than Seth is,
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: and set to get to that level he needs Paul Hayman.
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: And you know, Seth doesn't need Paul. Roman doesn't need
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: Paul right now, Seth could use Paul.
- 1:14:01Speaker 7: Mm hm.
- 1:14:02Speaker 4: You know, I think I was the only one that
- 1:14:05Speaker 4: did not. I don't think I picked him rolling with South.
- 1:14:09Speaker 4: I think I told him walking out with with nobody.
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: I was the only one that had him just abandoning everybody.
- 1:14:15Speaker 4: I still had Seth picking up the wind, but not
- 1:14:18Speaker 4: because of Paul Hayman, which obviously after he nut shot it,
- 1:14:23Speaker 4: Uh Punk already thought, oh shit, he didn't choose Seth.
- 1:14:28Speaker 4: He's going back to Roman is roam in the chair.
- 1:14:31Speaker 4: Roman thinks he boy to lay him out, and then
- 1:14:33Speaker 4: Paul nut shots his ass and gives it a little
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: jiggle for extra effect.
- 1:14:40Speaker 9: You're kind of glossing over what I think is a
- 1:14:42Speaker 9: key detail, and is that it pained him to nut
- 1:14:48Speaker 9: shot see him Punk.
- 1:14:49Speaker 4: You know, he was like, you made me, do you know?
- 1:14:52Speaker 7: You made me choose?
- 1:14:53Speaker 4: Why did you do this?
- 1:14:54Speaker 9: But he took the light and punched it and Roman
- 1:14:58Speaker 9: and the balls. The difference is kind of was was
- 1:15:03Speaker 9: I thought pretty important to point out like he did.
- 1:15:07Speaker 9: There was still kind of that twit, that tinge of
- 1:15:09Speaker 9: of This is.
- 1:15:10Speaker 7: Still my quote unquote best friend Phil.
- 1:15:13Speaker 9: But he enjoyed Remember, fucking Roman laid his ass out, maybe.
- 1:15:18Speaker 7: More than once.
- 1:15:19Speaker 9: I might be wrong about that, but he left him,
- 1:15:21Speaker 9: you know, after wrestlinga forty he left him for dead
- 1:15:24Speaker 9: with Solo like he hasn't been the nicest Uh to
- 1:15:29Speaker 9: Haymn and he remembers that.
- 1:15:31Speaker 4: I think, yeah, yeah, that that's that's a very good
- 1:15:34Speaker 4: point to bring up. The Yeah, he did seem pained
- 1:15:38Speaker 4: by the fact that he had to do it, that
- 1:15:40Speaker 4: he did it to Seth, but when he did it
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: to Roman, yeah, it very much. There was vengeance in
- 1:15:45Speaker 4: his eyes when he did it. Like I said, he
- 1:15:48Speaker 4: he he rubbed it in on Roman and then just
- 1:15:54Speaker 4: very calmly handed that chair to Seth unless Seth crack
- 1:16:00Speaker 4: Roman again in the bag for the fortieth time and
- 1:16:07Speaker 4: then stop him out for the wins.
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, the fucking match was fantastic. You were right, Drake.
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: Match of the night storytelling is all there. The fucking
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: video package they gave Punk before he came out, I
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: fucking loved it because we got to see Punk at
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: his main event. We got to see him come out
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: with Paul Hammond, and then we got to see a
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: fucking complete shocker. We saw, you know, we we we
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: saw a year removed with actually within the last two years,
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: Roman lost everything. He's lost his tribe, he's lost his
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: wise man, he lost everything, you know, and fucking Seth
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: Man just just he's taken it all, you know, He's
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: done this before in a triple threat match at WrestleMania
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: and pennied Roman again. You know where he pinned Roman
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: before he pinned him again. A MANI I thought it
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: was fantastic. I'm so excited because you know, we'll talk
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: about it after, but like where Seth is going with this?
- 1:17:10Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I mean, as we've all said in the
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: previous episode that yes, Seth needed this win more than
- 1:17:19Speaker 4: the others because he's you know how some people say
- 1:17:24Speaker 4: the old saying, you know, somebody's top five and they're
- 1:17:27Speaker 4: not number five. Seth Rollins is top five, and he
- 1:17:31Speaker 4: absolutely was number five, behind Cody, behind seeing A, behind Punk,
- 1:17:36Speaker 4: behind Roman. Seth Rollins is solid five, and he needed
- 1:17:43Speaker 4: something to break out of being number five and hopefully
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: move him further up or at least to where he
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: can be at least on par if not past one
- 1:17:54Speaker 4: of them, if not be a three or two, at
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: least be a two A or three B or something
- 1:18:01Speaker 4: of that nature. And this move with Paul Hammon hopefully
- 1:18:05Speaker 4: can't be that, which we might as well go ahead
- 1:18:07Speaker 4: and talk about. Because Monday they came out Paul Hayman
- 1:18:13Speaker 4: and Seth with the acknowledgment of him saying, you know which,
- 1:18:20Speaker 4: I don't know if it's going if it landed the
- 1:18:22Speaker 4: way they thought it would. But Seth of Paul Hayman
- 1:18:26Speaker 4: trying to say the what undisputed number one guy in WWE,
- 1:18:32Speaker 4: Seth freaking Rollins, If you gotta say it all the time,
- 1:18:36Speaker 4: it ain't really gonna I don't know, this's rely gonna land.
- 1:18:41Speaker 4: But nevertheless, Paul came out, wanted to smoke. Punk got
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: his ass dropped. Then Roman came out, he wanted to smoke.
- 1:18:51Speaker 4: He got the better of. Seth, laid out Paul Hayman
- 1:18:56Speaker 4: with a superman punch. Wait for the spear caught one
- 1:19:00Speaker 4: of his own by who Broun motherfucking breaker apparently has
- 1:19:07Speaker 4: now sided with Seth Rollins and Paul Hayman, which is
- 1:19:16Speaker 4: obviously very intriguing, and these two could very much go
- 1:19:18Speaker 4: on a dominant run with them too. Some people are
- 1:19:22Speaker 4: already trying to ship another person into it. Let's not
- 1:19:24Speaker 4: do that already. This is still brand new. Let's see
- 1:19:27Speaker 4: what Let's see how this works with them three first,
- 1:19:30Speaker 4: before we try to add more people to it. Let
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: this dwelling what we got.
- 1:19:36Speaker 7: I think you're certainly going leading up to a Seth Braun.
- 1:19:39Speaker 4: Versus Roman, and I would think certainly, certainly that that
- 1:19:48Speaker 4: seems to be a direction that they're going. As far
- 1:19:51Speaker 4: as getting back to my point about Rollins moving up,
- 1:19:56Speaker 4: this move can potentially do that as long as Paul
- 1:20:01Speaker 4: Hayman doesn't outshine Seth Rollins. And and I can't rule
- 1:20:08Speaker 4: out that possibility because Paul Hayman is clearly gonna be
- 1:20:11Speaker 4: the main mic guy. Obviously, Seth Rollins can cook on
- 1:20:14Speaker 4: the mic and we'll get his words into but for
- 1:20:17Speaker 4: this to work, it clearly has to be seen as
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: Seth Rollins is the leader of this group and Paul
- 1:20:26Speaker 4: Hayman is subservient to him. Because if this is you know,
- 1:20:32Speaker 4: if this is a being something like a Dangerous Alliance
- 1:20:35Speaker 4: Part two or whatever they want to be, then it's
- 1:20:38Speaker 4: clearly gonna be seen as Paul Hayman's thing and Seth
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: Rollins is just his chosen guy. I think Paul.
- 1:20:47Speaker 9: Hayman's probably gonna end up being more of a mouthpiece
- 1:20:49Speaker 9: from brun Breaker and let Seth do his own thing
- 1:20:54Speaker 9: in terms of mic work. Anyway, Yeah, it could absolutely
- 1:20:58Speaker 9: it is amount I think, uh and none better than
- 1:21:04Speaker 9: Paul him in a quest. You know, Seth obviously does
- 1:21:07Speaker 9: not need that, So hopefully they can find a balance
- 1:21:11Speaker 9: where he's Paul Hyman's maybe doing speaking for Braun Breakup, but.
- 1:21:15Speaker 4: Not for Seth. Yeah, and I think that would be
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: the right decision to go as far as that. You know,
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: Paul can maybe set up Seth and then Seth does
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: most of the talking and while also.
- 1:21:29Speaker 7: You know, they're both kind of ends in the back
- 1:21:31Speaker 7: and barks right, and they're.
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: Both kind of collectively building up you know, bron Breaker.
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: You know, like Seth is acting like a mentor, you know,
- 1:21:42Speaker 4: Paul is acting like a coach to him. Neil, they
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: help him get his IC title back at some point
- 1:21:47Speaker 4: maybe well yeah, yeah, I mean he he's probably solidly
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: back in the Heill category now, despite the fact that
- 1:21:53Speaker 4: he was getting over as fuck as a face. This
- 1:21:56Speaker 4: may clearly put him back in the heel territory.
- 1:21:59Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think ultimately, I mean beyond uh,
- 1:22:02Speaker 9: you know, the elevation of Seth Rollins is not huge leap,
- 1:22:07Speaker 9: you know, it's it's yeah, like it's going from fourth
- 1:22:10Speaker 9: on the depth chart to second.
- 1:22:12Speaker 7: You know, bron Breaker is the one who is going
- 1:22:15Speaker 7: to get made out of all of this, hopefully anyway,
- 1:22:17Speaker 7: I assume that's assume that's.
- 1:22:19Speaker 11: Like the overall main goal or whatever.
- 1:22:22Speaker 9: You know, Sure, you can turn Seth up a couple
- 1:22:24Speaker 9: of clicks, but if you can get bron Breaker into
- 1:22:27Speaker 9: a legit threat at the world title, you know, for
- 1:22:31Speaker 9: the next decade, I think that's probably the ultimate play here.
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the long term goal of it, you know,
- 1:22:38Speaker 4: kind of how evolution was with Triple H and Randy
- 1:22:43Speaker 4: Orton and Yatista.
- 1:22:44Speaker 7: He's Bautista and Randy.
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder, I wonder if we're going to get
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: any other people to join this this little stable. I
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: would assume so at least another person, if not.
- 1:22:59Speaker 4: To, I don't think. I think it depends. Right now,
- 1:23:06Speaker 4: I don't think it's necessary. I think those two alone
- 1:23:11Speaker 4: can handle pretty much anybody on the fucking roster. I
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: don't know that there's a necessarily a need for it.
- 1:23:20Speaker 4: And less.
- 1:23:22Speaker 7: Well, somebody in a war games cage, and yeah.
- 1:23:27Speaker 4: Maybe we get around war games. Maybe by that point
- 1:23:30Speaker 4: there may be a need to have added more members.
- 1:23:34Speaker 4: But right now, I think just the two of them
- 1:23:37Speaker 4: and Paul Hayman is enough to carry the storyline forward
- 1:23:41Speaker 4: for at least a few.
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: Months atlers who aren't doing stuff we gots.
- 1:23:51Speaker 4: He just got back. He'll need to be in a
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: faction already.
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who knows.
- 1:24:00Speaker 4: Some muscle like bron Breaker ain't already muscle.
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: Friend. Uh, fucking night one, that's night one.
- 1:24:11Speaker 4: I've seen some people try to shop like Austin Theory
- 1:24:14Speaker 4: into the group, and I'm like, nah, it would help
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: Austin Theory for certain, like, no question about it. It
- 1:24:21Speaker 4: would damnse so help him. I just don't think it's necessary,
- 1:24:25Speaker 4: not yet. A couple of months from now.
- 1:24:28Speaker 9: Maybe you know, if there's somebody that WrestleMania was gonna
- 1:24:32Speaker 9: help Boston Theory, well.
- 1:24:35Speaker 4: Yeah, standing on his help, yeah, standing on his own.
- 1:24:40Speaker 11: Nah.
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: But if he can get linked up with this faction,
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: it might. I wouldn't rule it out. But again, it
- 1:24:45Speaker 4: doesn't need to happen until further down the line.
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 1:24:52Speaker 4: I mean, hell, look what Judgment Day did for Damian
- 1:24:55Speaker 4: Priest and arguably real Ripley help take them to to
- 1:25:01Speaker 4: the next level.
- 1:25:04Speaker 7: Oh, I love a good stable, don't get me wrong.
- 1:25:10Speaker 4: This question is what would they call it? If they
- 1:25:12Speaker 4: call it anything? At first, I thought Dangerous Alliance would
- 1:25:18Speaker 4: be a good name for it, But to me, that
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: puts to focus a little too much on Paul Hayman,
- 1:25:25Speaker 4: and I don't think that's where it should be.
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 1:25:28Speaker 4: But if that's the direction that they want to go
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: with it, that this is the mastermind of Paul Hayman,
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: then Dangerous Alliance would be a damn damn good nostalgia kick.
- 1:25:44Speaker 4: But we shall see, presumably next week when eventually, presumably
- 1:25:48Speaker 4: all three of these fuckers come out. Any other thoughts
- 1:25:54Speaker 4: on Night one of Wrestlemedia, No, man, I think, uh.
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: The uh, the highlights, I guess you wanna. I think
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: the highlights for me, you know. Obviously the shocker of
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: Jay winning the title, Jacob Fatu leaving with the title.
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: We had two oosa Is leaving with titles that night,
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: Grande Americano. I loved it. I love seeing Chippy Stratton.
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: Uh and yeah the main event, dude, Like for night one,
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: it was a good start. I was pretty excited going
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: into Night teen.
- 1:26:31Speaker 9: Then, speaking of fats, why the hell did Haku come
- 1:26:36Speaker 9: out when Jacob Fatu won.
- 1:26:39Speaker 4: It's a little weird, like that was weird, right?
- 1:26:42Speaker 7: Why not his father or Rakishi.
- 1:26:46Speaker 4: Why did come out with j one? You know, it
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: would have been nice to see if Kishi come out
- 1:26:52Speaker 4: for JA. Yeah, at some.
- 1:26:53Speaker 7: Point, get a camera on him.
- 1:26:55Speaker 4: If I'm not mistaken, is it isn't Haku like jus
- 1:27:00Speaker 4: like adopted father or something, adoptive father or something like that.
- 1:27:05Speaker 9: His father is sam Fatu, who was like who was
- 1:27:08Speaker 9: the Tonga kid? He's Rakishi's brother.
- 1:27:14Speaker 7: I don't I think.
- 1:27:15Speaker 9: I don't think Haku was related to I think he's
- 1:27:18Speaker 9: like on the other side of the family tree.
- 1:27:21Speaker 7: It just seemed odd when his father, like, it's not
- 1:27:24Speaker 7: like his father. His father is not with us anymore.
- 1:27:28Speaker 11: He certainly is.
- 1:27:29Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah, I thought they had some sort
- 1:27:31Speaker 4: of connection.
- 1:27:33Speaker 9: They do, but it's not like, you know, his father
- 1:27:36Speaker 9: and his uncle are available and this is like a
- 1:27:38Speaker 9: third cousin twice removed or something.
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: That could be It could be it. I mean, yeah,
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: maybe he just got well, maybe they just cool, they
- 1:27:51Speaker 4: tight like that.
- 1:27:51Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean cool, yeah, good cool. I'm not I mean,
- 1:27:56Speaker 7: it's never it's never a bad time to see Hakku.
- 1:27:58Speaker 7: I'm not gonna play.
- 1:28:00Speaker 4: Yeah, like I know, I know Haku is like the
- 1:28:03Speaker 4: father of I don't know blood father or adopted father
- 1:28:07Speaker 4: of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. I know for them
- 1:28:10Speaker 4: he is. I don't know. I thought he I could
- 1:28:13Speaker 4: be wrong. I thought he had some other connection to
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: Jacob Fasu as well. But well, either way, he jumped
- 1:28:21Speaker 4: that damn rail and you see all it did not
- 1:28:23Speaker 4: one motherfucker get between him and Fatu m hm no.
- 1:28:27Speaker 4: One security person was like, hey man, you m won't
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: nobody brave enough to try to get in the way
- 1:28:35Speaker 4: of Haku if you know?
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: You know? All right, guys, let's take a let's take
