Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / WWE Raw 3/23/26 Review | Roman Reigns DESTROYS CM PUNK, Oba Femi DROPS BROCK AGAIN
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What is going on? Guys? It is another Monday Night.
- 0:02Speaker 1: I am the solemn Monster. It is March twenty third,
- 0:06Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, three weeks away from WRESTLEMANI how are
- 0:10Speaker 1: we feeling about the build to WrestleMania now three weeks out.
- 0:14Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about these main events. I think
- 0:17Speaker 1: we're in a pretty good place where the main events
- 0:20Speaker 1: are concerned. There's still work to be done on both shows. Tonight,
- 0:24Speaker 1: though we took a big step forward. We actually got
- 0:27Speaker 1: some real physicality between these two guys. It was Roman
- 0:30Speaker 1: Reigns and Sea I'm punk yet again. In the closing
- 0:33Speaker 1: segment of the show, this was another raw where I
- 0:36Speaker 1: felt like they started hot, they ended pretty good, and
- 0:40Speaker 1: then really the middle was very in the middle of
- 0:43Speaker 1: the show was very middle of the road. Seems to
- 0:46Speaker 1: be a pattern over the last few weeks. Next week
- 0:48Speaker 1: they're going to be a Madison Square garden, so we'll
- 0:51Speaker 1: see where they have planned for MSG. Traditionally their home base,
- 0:56Speaker 1: they usually saved some special stuff for the garden. Sorry, Ball,
- 1:01Speaker 1: but that's how I felt. I felt like the opening
- 1:03Speaker 1: segment of the show was very good. The closing of
- 1:06Speaker 1: the show I enjoyed and then everything in the middle
- 1:09Speaker 1: was just very hit or miss. But Roman and Punk
- 1:13Speaker 1: were in the final segment of the show. Roman took
- 1:15Speaker 1: his time coming out. Punk was out there for the
- 1:17Speaker 1: majority of it. I thought Punk was lighting it up
- 1:20Speaker 1: on the mic pretty good. And the ussos come out
- 1:24Speaker 1: and now the Ussos we saw them involved in this
- 1:26Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and I didn't know if they
- 1:27Speaker 1: were gonna kind of work them back, and they were not.
- 1:30Speaker 1: They were a very big part of that closing segment tonight.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Roman Rains was I mean, he came in towards the
- 1:34Speaker 1: tail end of it, took a sweet time to strolling
- 1:38Speaker 1: down to the ring. But it's Jay Usso who's kind
- 1:41Speaker 1: of the wild card in this whole thing now, because
- 1:43Speaker 1: he's the one who egged on Roman Rains tonight to
- 1:47Speaker 1: really put the boots to see them Punk. And what
- 1:51Speaker 1: ended up happening was Roman didn't just spear him. He
- 1:53Speaker 1: took him outside the ring. He power bombed him through
- 1:56Speaker 1: the announced desk and left him laying Although Punk was
- 1:59Speaker 1: laughing when the show was over. Did you notice that
- 2:03Speaker 1: Punk was laughing? He said, I don't need help. I
- 2:06Speaker 1: don't need help. Roman Rains is the one who apparently
- 2:10Speaker 1: always needs his cousins to help him. It's been sort
- 2:13Speaker 1: of a recurring theme over the last few years. But
- 2:16Speaker 1: Jay Uso was out there tonight acting more like the
- 2:18Speaker 1: right hand man than the yeat man. He's sort of
- 2:21Speaker 1: the wild card. He's this loose cannon now who just
- 2:24Speaker 1: you know. He yells and screams and he gets all
- 2:27Speaker 1: wound up, but he's very emotional and then Jimmy is
- 2:29Speaker 1: trying to calm him down. And tonight Jay was the
- 2:32Speaker 1: one who was out there telling Roman when Roman was
- 2:35Speaker 1: about to leave, no, you better get on him, you
- 2:37Speaker 1: better go after him. You got to stand up for
- 2:40Speaker 1: our family. So Roman rains went ahead, he listened to
- 2:44Speaker 1: Jay Uso, and he went after Sea. I'm punk. I
- 2:46Speaker 1: don't know what role the usos will ultimately play in
- 2:51Speaker 1: the actual match of Wrestlemanteia. It seems to me like
- 2:53Speaker 1: they have to be there. They don't have to come
- 2:56Speaker 1: out to the ring with Roman, but that they're going
- 2:57Speaker 1: to factor into the match in some way. What I
- 3:00Speaker 1: would rather not see is just another bloodline reunion. You
- 3:05Speaker 1: watch these shows and the takeaway is that we're building
- 3:08Speaker 1: towards an og reunion of the bloodline with the usos
- 3:12Speaker 1: in Roman, we already have one. I mean, I can't
- 3:14Speaker 1: even say we're building to it. We basically we have
- 3:17Speaker 1: them on screen working together. But we don't need Bloodline
- 3:22Speaker 1: two point zero. I just think that would be incredibly lazy.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Unless there's some sort of new element that they can
- 3:28Speaker 1: add to it. That's not really a direction that excites me.
- 3:32Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what the endgame is here as
- 3:34Speaker 1: far as the USO's participation in all of this. But
- 3:36Speaker 1: I did I like the segment tonight a lot more
- 3:39Speaker 1: than I did the segment from last week. I thought
- 3:42Speaker 1: last week's segment was very underwhelming. It was it was
- 3:45Speaker 1: very mid tonight. They needed to really come back with
- 3:48Speaker 1: something big, and honestly, it was CM Punkell by himself
- 3:51Speaker 1: and the raing just talking about you know, last week
- 3:54Speaker 1: Roman called him old. Let's say he went into this
- 3:57Speaker 1: whole thing about how I don't hide the fact that
- 3:59Speaker 1: I'm old. I wear as a badge of honor. Got
- 4:01Speaker 1: a good zinger in there about Roman using just for
- 4:04Speaker 1: men to cover up the gray, and they was really,
- 4:07Speaker 1: you know, he was taking that one line from last week,
- 4:10Speaker 1: which seemed very silly that he would kind of flip
- 4:12Speaker 1: out over that, and it was it was very silly.
- 4:15Speaker 1: But I like what he had to say about it tonight.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I like working the USO's in there and Punk, you know,
- 4:22Speaker 1: going after them, and I don't know, I mean for me,
- 4:25Speaker 1: it just I like where they are. I am wondering though,
- 4:28Speaker 1: what they will do over these next three weeks. It
- 4:31Speaker 1: seems to me like you would expect CM Punk is
- 4:34Speaker 1: going to get a measure of revenge next week. Maybe
- 4:36Speaker 1: he's going to lay him out with a GTS. But
- 4:39Speaker 1: where do they go from here? Are we going to
- 4:41Speaker 1: have a contract signing. We had a contract signing for
- 4:43Speaker 1: Cody and Randy last week. You would think we'll have
- 4:46Speaker 1: a contract signing for these two guys at some point,
- 4:49Speaker 1: maybe that last raw before Mania. I do think there's
- 4:52Speaker 1: one week where Roman is not supposed to be on
- 4:54Speaker 1: the show. I think Brock is there every week between
- 4:56Speaker 1: now and many. I believe Roman might be missing a
- 5:00Speaker 1: I want to say it's the week after next, and
- 5:02Speaker 1: then I think he comes back for that last raw
- 5:04Speaker 1: before Mania. But I think we're in a good place
- 5:06Speaker 1: right now. Right there's still work to be done, improvements
- 5:10Speaker 1: to be made to make things a little more exciting.
- 5:13Speaker 1: But I think as far as this story goes, they
- 5:15Speaker 1: kind of got the train back on the tracks this week.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Was my takeaway at the end of the show. Opa
- 5:20Speaker 1: Femi and Brock Lesner. They haven't really done much if
- 5:23Speaker 1: you think about it, but what they have done so
- 5:26Speaker 1: far has been excellent. You know, the segment last week
- 5:28Speaker 1: to set up their WrestleMania match was fucking great. It
- 5:31Speaker 1: was the best part of the entire show. We got
- 5:33Speaker 1: the match that a lot of us wanted to see,
- 5:36Speaker 1: that feels like a WrestleMania match. And so this week
- 5:39Speaker 1: it's like, well, maybe Brock will you know, get his
- 5:41Speaker 1: heat back and he'll lay him out with an F
- 5:43Speaker 1: five nashally tease that. But no, they went with Opa
- 5:47Speaker 1: Femi for the second week in a row, second week
- 5:50Speaker 1: in a row, laying out brock Lesner and brock Lesner
- 5:53Speaker 1: looking like, I mean, just looking stunned by the entire thing.
- 5:57Speaker 1: It feels to me like, Okay, now we're building to
- 6:00Speaker 1: you know, maybe next week, but one of these weeks
- 6:02Speaker 1: Oba is gonna get his It can't just be one
- 6:05Speaker 1: sided between now when WrestleMania. But what they did tonight
- 6:09Speaker 1: made Oba look like he belonged and that's really what
- 6:11Speaker 1: they need to do right now. This is the first
- 6:14Speaker 1: really truly big match of this man's career, his first WrestleMania,
- 6:20Speaker 1: and it's a match against Brock Lesner. So it's a
- 6:23Speaker 1: lot to put on his shoulders right out of the gate.
- 6:26Speaker 1: But you still have to tell people that this guy
- 6:29Speaker 1: is special. I mean, I think they could tell just
- 6:30Speaker 1: by looking at him, but you want to put him
- 6:32Speaker 1: in a position where he comes off as special. You
- 6:35Speaker 1: want to put him in a position where he comes
- 6:36Speaker 1: off as oh, Okay, this is this is the guy.
- 6:40Speaker 1: And they've done that now for two weeks in a row,
- 6:41Speaker 1: and Brock has two. You know, Brock is doing his
- 6:43Speaker 1: part in all of this. But so far, so good.
- 6:47Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to jinx it, but so
- 6:49Speaker 1: far so good. I've enjoyed what they've done with those two.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Finn Balor was back on the show tonight to a
- 6:56Speaker 1: very lukewarm reaction from the fans in Boston. This is
- 6:59Speaker 1: his first appearance since he was booted out of the
- 7:01Speaker 1: Judgment day and I'm not saying he didn't get a
- 7:04Speaker 1: decent reaction, but I mean, nothing terribly impressive. But he
- 7:08Speaker 1: did come out tonight to go after Dominique mysterio. I'm
- 7:13Speaker 1: still not convinced we're getting a singles match at Wrestlming.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I'm still wondering are we looking at a singles match
- 7:20Speaker 1: or are we looking at them being worked into some
- 7:22Speaker 1: sort of multimin intercontinental title match. The story really is
- 7:27Speaker 1: Finn and dom I mean it should be one on one.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I'm still not sure what they're doing though. I'm not
- 7:31Speaker 1: sure what they're doing with Penta. I'm not sure what
- 7:33Speaker 1: they're doing with a lot of people on this show,
- 7:37Speaker 1: including one person in particular, who for the third straight week,
- 7:43Speaker 1: was Mia on this show. Were it not for CM
- 7:46Speaker 1: Punk in the closing segment mentioning his name, Gunther would
- 7:50Speaker 1: not have even gotten a mention on the show tonight.
- 7:54Speaker 1: His name was mentioned by Punk in his promo later
- 7:58Speaker 1: in the show. Were it not for that, he wouldn't
- 8:01Speaker 1: even be mentioned. He would be like an afterthought. You
- 8:04Speaker 1: would think that not only did John Cena retire and
- 8:07Speaker 1: not only did AJ Styles retire, but Gunther just said,
- 8:10Speaker 1: you know what I've done all I can do. I
- 8:13Speaker 1: can't go any higher than that. I'll retire too. He
- 8:16Speaker 1: just voluntarily stepped away from the ring three weeks in
- 8:21Speaker 1: a row. Now I barely even a mention to this
- 8:22Speaker 1: man on TV. It really all does seem to hinge
- 8:26Speaker 1: on Raymisterio's status. He's obviously earmarked a wrestle Ray otherwise
- 8:32Speaker 1: this doesn't make any sense at all, and everything is
- 8:36Speaker 1: just hinging on whether or not he's going to be
- 8:37Speaker 1: medically cleared in time to come back. It's crazy to
- 8:41Speaker 1: sit here and think that Ludwig Kaiser under a mask
- 8:46Speaker 1: is a lot more likely to have a WrestleMania match
- 8:48Speaker 1: this year than Gunther. Now that's why, and I like Kaiser,
- 8:54Speaker 1: but that's fucking wild, just the thought of it. In
- 8:57Speaker 1: case you were wondering whether or not we had a
- 8:59Speaker 1: gun through hearing on the show tonight, the answer is no.
- 9:03Speaker 1: You know who else showed up on Raw tonight? Gunther didn't.
- 9:07Speaker 1: But I show speed. Now, look, the last time I
- 9:11Speaker 1: remember seeing I show speed on a WWE show was
- 9:15Speaker 1: that incredible spear at the Royal Rumble last year by
- 9:19Speaker 1: bron Breaker where he cut that man in half. And
- 9:25Speaker 1: I have no issue with I show speed. I mean,
- 9:27Speaker 1: he's built up a very impressive social media following the
- 9:30Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million subscribers or something on YouTube,
- 9:33Speaker 1: something crazy like that, and he's very athletic, and it's
- 9:37Speaker 1: clear they want to do stuff with him, and I
- 9:40Speaker 1: guess tonight might have been a hint that he might
- 9:42Speaker 1: be at WrestleMania. I don't know. Again, the idea of
- 9:45Speaker 1: him being at WrestleMania and Jelly Roll having a match
- 9:48Speaker 1: at WrestleMania and not Gunther is just crazy to me.
- 9:53Speaker 1: But I saw somebody online and it's it's not exactly
- 9:57Speaker 1: apples to apples, but I get what they were trying
- 10:00Speaker 1: to say. It would be the equivalent of having brock
- 10:03Speaker 1: Lesnar be the one in twenty one and one and
- 10:07Speaker 1: beat the Undertaker the way he did it WrestleMania, and
- 10:11Speaker 1: then you just you don't follow up on it, and
- 10:14Speaker 1: you just do nothing with him for Summer Slam, you
- 10:18Speaker 1: do nothing with him for a Survivor series. I was
- 10:21Speaker 1: gonna say, because Brock took time off after WrestleMania that
- 10:24Speaker 1: year anyway, but not following up on something like that,
- 10:28Speaker 1: like you wouldn't even be able to fathom that. Like,
- 10:30Speaker 1: they chose him to be the one in twenty one
- 10:32Speaker 1: and one, so obviously they have big plans for him,
- 10:35Speaker 1: and he ended up beating John Cena, winning the world championship,
- 10:39Speaker 1: and here we are with Gunther And no matter what
- 10:42Speaker 1: you think of the guy putting him in that position
- 10:45Speaker 1: to be the guy to retire those two names and
- 10:49Speaker 1: him being in the spot that he's in right now,
- 10:51Speaker 1: you gotta admit, I mean, that's pretty fucked up. But
- 10:54Speaker 1: I mentioned I show Speed because he made an appearance
- 10:57Speaker 1: on rad tonight and there was an item on the
- 11:02Speaker 1: Wrestling Observer website that I noticed I glanced at right
- 11:06Speaker 1: before Raw went on the air tonight. This was the
- 11:10Speaker 1: original story they posted. Brian Alvarez is reporting a surprises
- 11:16Speaker 1: in store for tonight's show in Boston. I guess this
- 11:21Speaker 1: is what Brian tweeted. I'm told there is an extremely
- 11:25Speaker 1: big name surprise on RAW and I saw that, and
- 11:31Speaker 1: I'm like, not just a big name surprise on Raw,
- 11:34Speaker 1: an extremely big name surprise on Raw. Now my mind
- 11:39Speaker 1: is racing with what this could possibly mean. Maybe people
- 11:41Speaker 1: are right, maybe the Rock is going to show up
- 11:44Speaker 1: tonight as part of the and he kind of did.
- 11:48Speaker 1: I'll get to that later, but now my mind is
- 11:51Speaker 1: racing with like, what who could this be? You know, what,
- 11:54Speaker 1: what is this mega big name that he's talking about
- 11:58Speaker 1: and then they updated the story a little while later.
- 12:01Speaker 1: This was the update okay on four w wrestling dot Com,
- 12:06Speaker 1: streaming and social media star ieshow Speed was shown during
- 12:10Speaker 1: the open of Raw hanging out with Javon Evans. Brian
- 12:14Speaker 1: Alvarez has since confirmed that Speed was the big name
- 12:19Speaker 1: in question. Now I put this to you, is I
- 12:24Speaker 1: Show Do you consider I Show Speed to be an
- 12:28Speaker 1: extremely big name surprise here on Monday Night Raw? Because
- 12:33Speaker 1: I don't, so I don't. I have to assume that
- 12:36Speaker 1: that was what was told to Brian. He didn't just
- 12:39Speaker 1: decide on his own that this is an extremely big
- 12:42Speaker 1: name that's on Raw. To Now, what a fucking dumb
- 12:44Speaker 1: thing to say. Whoever fed that information to him. I'm like, boy,
- 12:49Speaker 1: want to let down? That was and it even do much.
- 12:54Speaker 1: He got cursed by Dan House and he did the
- 12:56Speaker 1: pent distrut. That's about it. Holy shit. I know. Look,
- 13:01Speaker 1: I know I'm not saying I Show Speed is not popular.
- 13:04Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. But in the context of
- 13:07Speaker 1: this wrestling show, if you're a wrestling fan who's getting
- 13:09Speaker 1: ready to sit down and watch Monday Night Raw and
- 13:11Speaker 1: you see your report pop up, that says there's an
- 13:13Speaker 1: extremely big name surprise on RAW tonight. I show Speed
- 13:18Speaker 1: or Jelly Roll or any of these people are not
- 13:20Speaker 1: gonna be the first fucking name that you think of
- 13:23Speaker 1: when you think of mega big surprise on the show. Say,
- 13:27Speaker 1: I'm glad they at least amended the report and didn't
- 13:29Speaker 1: just completely take it down. Also, you should be aware
- 13:33Speaker 1: that Cody Rhodes is going to have his first interview
- 13:37Speaker 1: since Randy Orton nearly killed him on SmackDown two weeks ago.
- 13:42Speaker 1: He's gonna speak for the first time, not on SmackDown,
- 13:46Speaker 1: but on the Pat McAfee show on Wednesday at one
- 13:50Speaker 1: oh five pm Eastern. So if you want to hear
- 13:53Speaker 1: what Cody Rhodes has to say, you don't have to
- 13:55Speaker 1: wait for Friday. You could just tune into Pat McAfee
- 13:58Speaker 1: show if you're interested. This is your Raw review again.
- 14:02Speaker 1: It is March twenty third, twenty twenty six. I am
- 14:06Speaker 1: the Solemn Monster. Thank you guys so much for hanging
- 14:08Speaker 1: out with me tonight. We are approaching ninety one thousand
- 14:12Speaker 1: subs here on the channel. I think maybe we're twenty
- 14:15Speaker 1: eight away something like that, So who knows, maybe it'll
- 14:19Speaker 1: be one of you tonight, but go ahead and subscribe.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Super chats are open as well, so I will be
- 14:24Speaker 1: reading your messages. As we get a little deeper here
- 14:27Speaker 1: into the show. You'll see them popping up on screen.
- 14:29Speaker 1: And it is the easiest and most direct way to
- 14:32Speaker 1: support the channel and what I do, and I appreciate it.
- 14:36Speaker 1: I also want to mention if you missed it. Sound
- 14:38Speaker 1: Off episode nine point fifty six dropped yesterday on all
- 14:42Speaker 1: podcast platforms. Got some good shit on there, so if
- 14:45Speaker 1: you missed it, go ahead and check that out. Now,
- 14:48Speaker 1: let's start from the beginning of the show, which actually,
- 14:50Speaker 1: now that I look back on this show, this was
- 14:52Speaker 1: the best thing on the show, and it was Brock
- 14:55Speaker 1: Lesner again, Brock Lesnar and Paul Hayman. They were out
- 14:58Speaker 1: first to open things up. Lesner was wearing a new
- 15:01Speaker 1: FAF five shirt, which plays off of Paul Hayman's promo
- 15:05Speaker 1: from last week when he came out to confront seth
- 15:08Speaker 1: Rollins and he told them FAFO, FAFO, FAF five and
- 15:12Speaker 1: then Brock came out so he had a loud oba chance.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Hayman said that Obafemi is overhyped by WWE and accused
- 15:22Speaker 1: him of taking advantage of Lesnar the way that he
- 15:25Speaker 1: did last week, after Brock had just fought off so
- 15:28Speaker 1: many of the mass men. Yeah, he was fighting off
- 15:29Speaker 1: the putty patrol. Apparently that was very unfair. I mean,
- 15:32Speaker 1: Brock didn't look like he broke a sweat in doing it,
- 15:34Speaker 1: but apparently this was unfair. He said, We've heard this narrative,
- 15:39Speaker 1: you know, many times over the years. Whoever beats Brock
- 15:44Speaker 1: will be the next big thing. Lesner conquered the Undertaker's
- 15:48Speaker 1: undefeated streak, and there were many men. There was a
- 15:52Speaker 1: whole line of men who were supposed to be the
- 15:55Speaker 1: person to beat the one in twenty one and one.
- 15:59Speaker 1: So he went down the list of names. He mentioned Goldberg,
- 16:02Speaker 1: he said, nah, Braun Strohman, Nope, Dean Ambrose. And then
- 16:09Speaker 1: that got a good rise out of the crowd. That
- 16:13Speaker 1: got a good rise out of that. And of course
- 16:14Speaker 1: I had to see some tweets. Oh, is this a hint?
- 16:18Speaker 1: Is this a hint that he could be on his
- 16:20Speaker 1: way back. There's a better chance that I will be
- 16:23Speaker 1: wrestling Brock Lesner next year in Saudi. I will be
- 16:26Speaker 1: the Saudi Monster wrestling Brock at WrestleMania then John Moxley
- 16:31Speaker 1: going back to w w A. He ain't going back,
- 16:35Speaker 1: certainly no time soon. But I don't think he's ever
- 16:37Speaker 1: going back, to be honest with you. So but that
- 16:39Speaker 1: got a nice reaction from the crowd. He mentioned Bobby Lashley,
- 16:42Speaker 1: that didn't get any reaction. He mentioned aj Styles and
- 16:45Speaker 1: he mentioned John Cena was supposed to be that guy.
- 16:48Speaker 1: And when he mentioned John Cena and the fact that
- 16:51Speaker 1: they dominated him, that got loud booze from the crowd.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Said none of them can do it, and Obafemi would
- 16:57Speaker 1: not either. Obafemi will be conquered at Wrestlemanium. So that
- 17:02Speaker 1: brought darkness upon the arena. Oba Femi's music hit. He
- 17:07Speaker 1: strutted out down to the ring, gets into the ring
- 17:12Speaker 1: and they have a face to face. Brock kicks him,
- 17:16Speaker 1: tries to lift him up for an F five, Oba
- 17:18Speaker 1: slips out and he close lines him out over the
- 17:21Speaker 1: top rope to the floor, and the people are going
- 17:24Speaker 1: nuts for this, And just like last week, the camera
- 17:27Speaker 1: gets right up in front of Brock's face and he
- 17:30Speaker 1: just has this shocked expression on his face like he
- 17:34Speaker 1: cannot believe that for the second week in a row
- 17:37Speaker 1: he has been left laying he has been dominated, he
- 17:40Speaker 1: has been embarrassed by this rookie, second time in a row,
- 17:46Speaker 1: and Oba's just kind of looking down at like lording
- 17:49Speaker 1: over him from the ring. It's amazing how a simple
- 17:52Speaker 1: facial expression can mean so much. It's very true. You
- 17:57Speaker 1: could tell an entire story just by the look on
- 17:59Speaker 1: your face. Brock knew the assignment. He did exactly what
- 18:03Speaker 1: needed to be done here. You kind of look at
- 18:06Speaker 1: him in these segments and it's like, well, Brock's not
- 18:08Speaker 1: really doing much of anything, but Brock is actually doing
- 18:10Speaker 1: a lot in terms of trying to help Oba Femi
- 18:13Speaker 1: get over here. And so Oba stared him down and
- 18:17Speaker 1: Lesner and Hyman made their exit. On commentary, they made
- 18:19Speaker 1: it a point to say, Michael Cole did that this
- 18:22Speaker 1: was the first time that Brock Lesner had back down
- 18:25Speaker 1: from someone, and Brock was kind of laughing it off
- 18:28Speaker 1: once he got to the aisle, but he was backing
- 18:30Speaker 1: down and then he just left. So this was another
- 18:33Speaker 1: really good segment again, second week in a row. Here
- 18:36Speaker 1: that Oba has gotten over on Lesner. You know there's
- 18:39Speaker 1: going to be payback coming soon. Everybody watching this right
- 18:42Speaker 1: now who would like to see Oba Femi succeed at
- 18:45Speaker 1: WrestleMania should be hoping and praying that something bad will
- 18:50Speaker 1: happen to Oba on Raw, either next week or the
- 18:53Speaker 1: week after, because the longer this goes, where he continues
- 18:57Speaker 1: to dominate and embarrass brock Lesner, that the chances of
- 19:00Speaker 1: Obafemi winning at WrestleMania are nil even coming out of
- 19:05Speaker 1: a segment like this. Honestly, it feels to me like,
- 19:08Speaker 1: if you ask me right now, and it's still three
- 19:10Speaker 1: weeks out, I'm not going to do all my predictions now.
- 19:12Speaker 1: But if you were to ask me right now, who
- 19:15Speaker 1: do I think is going to win the match of WrestleMania.
- 19:18Speaker 1: It feels like brock Lesnar is going to win. And
- 19:21Speaker 1: while I would like to see Obafemi win, I think
- 19:23Speaker 1: the idea that Brock wins, but then they run it back,
- 19:27Speaker 1: maybe it's Summer Slam and then Oba beats Brock and
- 19:31Speaker 1: they kind of build up to that. Is fine. You
- 19:34Speaker 1: see how Oba is already over with the audience and
- 19:37Speaker 1: he hasn't really done all that much since he was
- 19:39Speaker 1: called up. I mean, he's gonna be fine as long
- 19:41Speaker 1: as they continue to build him up like this. You know,
- 19:44Speaker 1: one loss of WrestleMania won't be a killer, but as
- 19:48Speaker 1: I sit here right now, it just feels like the
- 19:50Speaker 1: likelihood is a lot better that Brock is going to
- 19:52Speaker 1: win and not Oba. But again, we'll see what they
- 19:57Speaker 1: do in Madison Square Garden next week. See if Brock
- 20:01Speaker 1: gets his revenge on that show. And if he does,
- 20:04Speaker 1: what does that look like? Is it a simple f five?
- 20:06Speaker 1: Is he gonna f five him through the announced desk?
- 20:09Speaker 1: They're gonna have some big guy brawl out into the
- 20:11Speaker 1: parking lot. I don't know. I don't know, but they
- 20:14Speaker 1: have me invested in this. I want to see now
- 20:16Speaker 1: what they do next. They've done everything right so far
- 20:21Speaker 1: as far as Obafemi goes, since he walked out to
- 20:24Speaker 1: accept this open challenge. It's only two weeks, but so far,
- 20:28Speaker 1: so good. Everything's right, everything is set exactly where it
- 20:31Speaker 1: needs to be. They have three weeks to fuck it up.
- 20:34Speaker 1: I don't think they will, but it's possible. I'm trying
- 20:39Speaker 1: not to be too skeptical about this, but so far,
- 20:42Speaker 1: so good. And by the way, second week or round
- 20:47Speaker 1: that brock Lesner has done the opening segment of the show.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Why because he can't wait to get the hell out
- 20:51Speaker 1: of there. I'm sure before seg three, Brock was already
- 20:56Speaker 1: in transit to the airport. He was on his jet
- 21:00Speaker 1: and he was on his way back to Saskatchewan. Another
- 21:03Speaker 1: job well done. We had the USSOS non title against
- 21:10Speaker 1: Austin Theory and Logan Paul the Vision or what's left
- 21:15Speaker 1: of the Vision. During the match, Michael Cole dropped a
- 21:20Speaker 1: quick mention of Dennis Kandre's passing of the Midnight Express.
- 21:25Speaker 1: I didn't rewind it. I'm pretty sure he mispronounced his
- 21:28Speaker 1: name and called him Dennis Conrie. But it's the thought
- 21:33Speaker 1: that counts. They at least acknowledged it. I didn't know
- 21:36Speaker 1: if they were going to acknowledge him. He didn't get
- 21:39Speaker 1: a graphic or anything like that. But truly, you know,
- 21:42Speaker 1: one half of one of the greatest tag teams of
- 21:44Speaker 1: all time, one of the greatest tag team wrestlers in
- 21:47Speaker 1: the history of the business. You know, he was a
- 21:50Speaker 1: big deal, you know, back then, and I'm glad they
- 21:53Speaker 1: at least mentioned him. Jay speared Theory and he went
- 21:57Speaker 1: up top, Logan crotched him, and so Jimmy ran over
- 22:01Speaker 1: Logan Will ran him into the ring post and at
- 22:03Speaker 1: this point Logan Paul pulls out the brass knucks, and
- 22:07Speaker 1: the referee is busy with jay Uso, so he doesn't
- 22:10Speaker 1: see any of this, And before Logan could do anything,
- 22:14Speaker 1: they play La Knight's music and he comes out of
- 22:19Speaker 1: the crowd. He runs Logan into the ring steps, he
- 22:22Speaker 1: grabs the knucks and he tosses the knucks to jay Uso.
- 22:27Speaker 1: So jay Uso hits theory with the knucks right in
- 22:29Speaker 1: front of the referee. So the referee calls for the disqualification.
- 22:34Speaker 1: So Knight was actually leaving with the USOS when Alicia
- 22:37Speaker 1: Taylor made the announcement that the Ussos were disqualified and
- 22:40Speaker 1: therefore the winners of the match for the Vision. This
- 22:43Speaker 1: pissed off jay Uso. Well, I'm not sure why he
- 22:46Speaker 1: was so pissed off. I mean, he clearly, I mean,
- 22:49Speaker 1: it's just clear cut. I mean, he deserved to be disqualified.
- 22:52Speaker 1: But again, he's kind of unhinged right now, and so
- 22:55Speaker 1: he charges back to the ring and he blasts Logan.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Logan had his back turned and jay was throwing that
- 23:02Speaker 1: right hand with the knucks right his Logan was turning,
- 23:05Speaker 1: so look it looked I mean it looked great. I mean,
- 23:07Speaker 1: he blasted him. Right on the side of the head
- 23:09Speaker 1: and down goes Logan. Paul. This was their way of
- 23:14Speaker 1: doing a non finish so that they can run this
- 23:16Speaker 1: match back again, and they may still end up doing
- 23:20Speaker 1: it at WrestleMania, but we found out later in the
- 23:22Speaker 1: show the match is not going to happen yet at WrestleMania.
- 23:26Speaker 1: They're gonna be running this back actually in Madison Square
- 23:28Speaker 1: Garden next week, and it's going to be a New
- 23:30Speaker 1: York City street fight, so we know that match is coming.
- 23:34Speaker 1: How La Knight fits into all this, honestly, I have
- 23:37Speaker 1: no idea, and I'm not sure if he can fit
- 23:42Speaker 1: into anything at WrestleMania physically. I want to give a
- 23:46Speaker 1: shout out here to saraj on X. He sent me
- 23:51Speaker 1: this image from the show tonight. I want you to
- 23:53Speaker 1: take a look at La Knight's left elbow. That doesn't
- 23:59Speaker 1: look good. That does not look good at all. Night
- 24:03Speaker 1: has not worked a match since the Elimination Chamber, So
- 24:07Speaker 1: maybe there's more to this than we know. I mean,
- 24:09Speaker 1: that's that's pretty ugly. It looks like there's a ball.
- 24:13Speaker 1: It looks like there's a ball in his elbow. You
- 24:16Speaker 1: know what. It reminds me of and Senas might have
- 24:18Speaker 1: been a little bit worse. But when Sina had that,
- 24:20Speaker 1: it was like a Bursa sack in his elbow and
- 24:23Speaker 1: he had to leave. It was right after he lost
- 24:26Speaker 1: the championship at SummerSlam to Daniel Bryan, and he actually
- 24:31Speaker 1: worked the match with his elbow like that, but then
- 24:34Speaker 1: he had to go away. That's kind of what that
- 24:36Speaker 1: reminds me of. So I don't know, could be something
- 24:41Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. As far as his status
- 24:44Speaker 1: for WrestleMania. They haven't even hinted at any sort of
- 24:47Speaker 1: match for him, and maybe we got our answer as
- 24:51Speaker 1: to why, because again, that's pretty ugly right there. But
- 24:55Speaker 1: in the back later, the Ussos and Night they were
- 24:57Speaker 1: walking along and Jimmy thanked Night for the assist. He
- 25:02Speaker 1: thanked him for the help out there. Knight joked with
- 25:06Speaker 1: Jay that you know, he could have at least hid
- 25:07Speaker 1: the knucks, and Jay snapped back that everybody had to
- 25:11Speaker 1: get got. Everybody's got to get got, according to Jay
- 25:14Speaker 1: usso so Knight said that he was starting to sound
- 25:17Speaker 1: like Roman Reigns, and Jay didn't like that very much.
- 25:21Speaker 1: He walked off. Jimmy told Knight just like I told
- 25:24Speaker 1: CM Punk, you got to mind your words when you
- 25:27Speaker 1: talk about our family, and very strategically in the background
- 25:34Speaker 1: behind them there was a truck and right there on
- 25:38Speaker 1: the side of the truck the one face on the
- 25:40Speaker 1: side of the truck the rock with the people's eyebrow
- 25:44Speaker 1: and everything. Nice placement there. I don't I don't think
- 25:50Speaker 1: it's indicative of anything. I'm not saying they didn't set
- 25:53Speaker 1: that shot up strategically to have the rock there. But
- 25:57Speaker 1: do I think it means the Rock is coming back? No?
- 25:59Speaker 1: I don't. But it was like, I see what you're
- 26:02Speaker 1: doing there, and I'm not falling for it again either,
- 26:05Speaker 1: because if you remember the build up to WrestleMania forty,
- 26:10Speaker 1: was it forty or forty? No, it was forty, had
- 26:11Speaker 1: to be forty. This actually might have been the segment
- 26:15Speaker 1: outside Cody's bust when the rock kicked his ass. If
- 26:17Speaker 1: you remember, there was a truck in the background, and
- 26:20Speaker 1: who was on the side of the truck, Stone Cold
- 26:23Speaker 1: Steve Austin, And that got a lot of people, myself included,
- 26:26Speaker 1: very excited because I'm looking at that going, oh man,
- 26:29Speaker 1: because I thought for sure that Austin was coming out.
- 26:31Speaker 1: You know, during the whole Avengers endgame finished to that
- 26:34Speaker 1: match of WrestleMania, and as we have learned, since they
- 26:37Speaker 1: wanted him there, he was going to get the undertaker spot,
- 26:40Speaker 1: but Austin couldn't do it. But do I think they
- 26:43Speaker 1: set that shot up because they knew Austin was coming
- 26:47Speaker 1: to Mania? E. I don't know about that, but believe
- 26:51Speaker 1: the way these shots are set up, nothing is by accident.
- 26:55Speaker 1: So Becky Lynch was out to the ring next to
- 26:59Speaker 1: drop a man, of course if Sports Illustrated and the
- 27:02Speaker 1: Bleacher Report, but she also talked about how you people
- 27:07Speaker 1: boomy and yet you'd cheer someone that abandoned you for
- 27:11Speaker 1: a decade, Becky took ten months off, not ten years,
- 27:17Speaker 1: and they got tired of seeing her succeed. So she
- 27:21Speaker 1: went home to the people that really appreciate her. And
- 27:23Speaker 1: when she came back, she went for the Intercontinental title,
- 27:26Speaker 1: and she made that championship important. She made it the
- 27:29Speaker 1: most important title in wrestling. She's proud of that title.
- 27:32Speaker 1: But now she has to watch as Aj Prance's around
- 27:35Speaker 1: like she deserves it. So Becky tried to take a break,
- 27:39Speaker 1: she said, after the Elimination Chamber, but when she went home,
- 27:42Speaker 1: her daughter was singing that stupid lighted up song and
- 27:46Speaker 1: skipping around the house and flipping her hair like that
- 27:49Speaker 1: Jersey scum called her Jersey scum. It's like she doesn't
- 27:56Speaker 1: realize her mother is the greatest female wrestler of all time. Meanwhile,
- 28:00Speaker 1: AJ's greatest claim to fame was that she mastered the
- 28:03Speaker 1: Diva z Era, and she said, well, I murdered the
- 28:07Speaker 1: Diva z Era. She put a steak through its heart
- 28:09Speaker 1: and ripped the wings off the butterfly belt. And that's
- 28:13Speaker 1: exactly what she'll do to aj Lee. I'm sitting here
- 28:18Speaker 1: going hell yeah amen. So that brought out aj Lee,
- 28:22Speaker 1: who sprinted to the ring just as Becky bailed out
- 28:24Speaker 1: of the ring. She went off into the crowd. Aj
- 28:27Speaker 1: grabbed a microphone and she stood on top of the
- 28:30Speaker 1: announced desk to address Becky. Her microphone was not working,
- 28:34Speaker 1: so for the first I don't know, five or ten seconds,
- 28:36Speaker 1: she was basically talking to herself. I don't think she
- 28:38Speaker 1: said anything of any great significance. They fixed the microphone
- 28:42Speaker 1: issue very quickly. She said that she walked Becky like
- 28:47Speaker 1: a dog every time they were in the ring together,
- 28:49Speaker 1: and she figured Becky wanted to get embarrassed again. She
- 28:52Speaker 1: was okay with that because maybe that would finally get
- 28:55Speaker 1: Becky out of her life. Maybe she would make Becky
- 28:58Speaker 1: tap out on the grandest stage of them all. She
- 29:02Speaker 1: would show the world why she's the best wrestler of
- 29:05Speaker 1: her generation, the best wrestler of Becky's generation, and maybe
- 29:10Speaker 1: even the next generation too. I don't know what that
- 29:13Speaker 1: says about the next generation coming up, but it's not good.
- 29:16Speaker 1: I mean not to take away from aj Lee, but
- 29:18Speaker 1: there are a lot of women who are ahead of
- 29:20Speaker 1: her right now. But she's talking about how maybe I'll
- 29:22Speaker 1: be the best of all the different generations, and she'll
- 29:25Speaker 1: show why she's your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler, and apparently
- 29:30Speaker 1: Becky's daughter's favorite wrestler. She said at WrestleMania, it's gonna
- 29:34Speaker 1: be you and me for the Intercontinental Championship, So Becky said,
- 29:41Speaker 1: aj just skipped right into her trap. WrestleMania is her domain,
- 29:46Speaker 1: that's where she's the man. Last time aj competed at WrestleMania,
- 29:50Speaker 1: she walked into the office the very next night and resigned,
- 29:54Speaker 1: and we didn't hear from her for over a decade.
- 29:57Speaker 1: She'll save aj the trouble she'll end her and we
- 30:00Speaker 1: will never hear from her again. Welcome to the big Time.
- 30:06Speaker 1: I like Becky's line about Master o AJ Master the
- 30:10Speaker 1: Diva's era. Well, I murdered it. I murdered it, and
- 30:13Speaker 1: I murdered that stupid butterfly belt. May it rest and piss.
- 30:18Speaker 1: I hated that belt then, I still hate that belt.
- 30:21Speaker 1: I have no nostalgia for that belt. I have no
- 30:23Speaker 1: nostalgia for the Spinner belt either. That can rest and
- 30:25Speaker 1: piss too. Big difference between the women's division and the
- 30:29Speaker 1: way that they were portrayed back then as compared to now.
- 30:33Speaker 1: We know that it's very well documented, but I like
- 30:36Speaker 1: how she was kind of drawing the distinction here between
- 30:38Speaker 1: those two eras. Otherwise, a very kind of basic, straightforward
- 30:43Speaker 1: promo that did what it had to do to set
- 30:46Speaker 1: up the match for WrestleMania. The only surprise here is
- 30:48Speaker 1: that they didn't add a stipulation. Now there's still time
- 30:51Speaker 1: for that. They have three weeks until we get to WrestleMania.
- 30:54Speaker 1: I have to imagine that they will add a stipulation.
- 30:57Speaker 1: They've already done the one match at Elimination Chamber. I mean,
- 31:00Speaker 1: we had the mixed tag match last year, but they
- 31:02Speaker 1: did the one match at Elimination Chamber is a straight match.
- 31:06Speaker 1: I don't see them just doing a straight match here.
- 31:08Speaker 1: And the way I look at it, you have two
- 31:11Speaker 1: women here who have submission finishes. So this is a
- 31:15Speaker 1: match to me, that's just right for either the submission
- 31:19Speaker 1: stipulation or an I quit match if I had a venture.
- 31:24Speaker 1: A guess that's what I think we're looking at. Got
- 31:27Speaker 1: the disarm her right, and you've got AJ's finish, the
- 31:32Speaker 1: Black Widow. It just makes sense to me. We had
- 31:37Speaker 1: Javon Evans one on one against Grayson Waller. Kofi Kingston
- 31:42Speaker 1: was out there in Waller's corner. Remember though, He's been
- 31:45Speaker 1: trying to recruit Javon for the New Day, so he
- 31:48Speaker 1: had an ulterior motive in being out there for this match.
- 31:52Speaker 1: I have to say this, I cannot remember the last
- 31:56Speaker 1: time that we saw Grayson Waller on this show. I
- 31:59Speaker 1: don't remember the last I saw Grayson Waller wrestle at all.
- 32:02Speaker 1: You know, usually he's making these random appearances with the
- 32:05Speaker 1: New Day during the commercial breaks on these shows, or
- 32:07Speaker 1: if New Day wrestles on Raw, he's in their corner.
- 32:10Speaker 1: But he's so I don't know, if this is a
- 32:12Speaker 1: new thing or not, if this is the first time
- 32:13Speaker 1: he's done it, or he's been doing it and I
- 32:16Speaker 1: just haven't seen him. But he was wearing long tights
- 32:19Speaker 1: instead of the boxer shorts, those like baggy you know,
- 32:23Speaker 1: boxer shorts. This is a better look for him. He
- 32:27Speaker 1: should stick with this. I think this is this is
- 32:29Speaker 1: the better look for grace of Waller. At Javon Evans,
- 32:34Speaker 1: he nearly brained himself in like the first ninety seconds
- 32:38Speaker 1: of this match. Waller was outside the ring and Javan,
- 32:41Speaker 1: of course he's the bouncy boy, so right out of
- 32:44Speaker 1: the gate he does this big dive out of the
- 32:46Speaker 1: ring and he landed headfirst on the ground. Not only
- 32:50Speaker 1: did he land headfirst on the ground, this was like
- 32:52Speaker 1: in the aisleway, but I think there was like a
- 32:55Speaker 1: giant metal plate. I don't know if it was a
- 32:57Speaker 1: diamond plate or what it was, and I think he
- 32:59Speaker 1: landed on that. And when I say that he landed
- 33:02Speaker 1: headfirst on the floor, that's not even really completely accurate.
- 33:05Speaker 1: He went into the floor. He took a header into
- 33:08Speaker 1: the floor and it was very scary, and he stood up.
- 33:12Speaker 1: He started shaking his neck out, you know, probably to
- 33:15Speaker 1: make sure that he can move it. Evans, though, in
- 33:18Speaker 1: the end, finished him off later on with a rana
- 33:22Speaker 1: off the top rope to a big reaction. Then he
- 33:25Speaker 1: raced back up to the top, he hit the O
- 33:27Speaker 1: G cutter and he picked up the win. Kofey didn't
- 33:31Speaker 1: seem too bothered by the outcome here. He was kind
- 33:33Speaker 1: of amused by the whole thing, and he tried to
- 33:37Speaker 1: explain to Waller after that he would rather see him
- 33:39Speaker 1: win on his own the right way than you know,
- 33:42Speaker 1: get involved and then risk him being disqualified. Sure, I
- 33:47Speaker 1: thought this was a good little match here. I enjoyed this.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Javon did all the things that you know javan does
- 33:53Speaker 1: in his matches, and the people like it, you know,
- 33:56Speaker 1: and the people react to it. He was super over
- 33:58Speaker 1: with the crowd. But I got to give credit to
- 33:59Speaker 1: grays of Waller. We don't get to see him on
- 34:01Speaker 1: the show very often, we don't get to see him
- 34:03Speaker 1: in singles matches very often, and I thought that his
- 34:07Speaker 1: job here was very clear. This match was not about
- 34:10Speaker 1: getting Grayson Waller over. There is no plan for Grayson Waller,
- 34:14Speaker 1: there is no story for Grayson Waller. It's about getting
- 34:18Speaker 1: Javon Evans over because he stole the new guy on
- 34:20Speaker 1: the roster, right, he's the young og and this was
- 34:24Speaker 1: about really being a highlight reel for him. Waller, though,
- 34:28Speaker 1: I thought, for his part, did a very good job
- 34:31Speaker 1: and I think he's somebody who we need to see
- 34:35Speaker 1: more of on these shows. Part of the reason that
- 34:37Speaker 1: it's hard to care about him is because they don't
- 34:39Speaker 1: give you a reason to and then you sort of
- 34:41Speaker 1: forget until you see him in a match like this. Yeah,
- 34:43Speaker 1: he's pretty good. How come they're not doing more with him?
- 34:47Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have a good answer for you.
- 34:50Speaker 1: So it would be nice if they actually would try
- 34:52Speaker 1: to come up with something for him to do, like
- 34:55Speaker 1: a mid card story, a mid card for you, but
- 34:58Speaker 1: something that would get him on the show consists and
- 35:01Speaker 1: break him away from the New Day. I don't even
- 35:03Speaker 1: remember how he got involved with the New Day to
- 35:07Speaker 1: begin with. That's how long this has been going on for.
- 35:10Speaker 1: And I was like, how did he get involved with
- 35:14Speaker 1: KOFE in Woods? And I don't even remember, Like why
- 35:18Speaker 1: is he still hanging around with them? Why do they
- 35:21Speaker 1: have him with them? I don't know, So maybe Waite
- 35:26Speaker 1: until Woods is healed up from his shoulder injury and
- 35:29Speaker 1: comes back, and then they can kind of boot him
- 35:31Speaker 1: to the side and then maybe try to come up
- 35:33Speaker 1: with something for him to do. You know, I think
- 35:35Speaker 1: a fresh coat of paint and just a different story
- 35:39Speaker 1: would go a long way. Just food for thought, because
- 35:44Speaker 1: I thought he'd looked good in the ring tonight. Backstage,
- 35:49Speaker 1: Paul Haman sauntered on up to Adam Pearce, who was
- 35:52Speaker 1: standing outside the trainer's room, which is probably where Javon
- 35:55Speaker 1: Evans is headed after that last match. Hayman told him,
- 35:59Speaker 1: he wants Pierce to do something for you. He wants
- 36:01Speaker 1: Peerce to schedule a match for Raw next week in
- 36:07Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden with the Vision against the USOS for
- 36:12Speaker 1: the tag team titles. He wanted to be a New
- 36:16Speaker 1: York City street fight, and Pierce told him, you've given
- 36:21Speaker 1: me something to consider. Hayman went to go leave, and
- 36:25Speaker 1: Pierce asked, Hm, where are you going. Yeah, you asked
- 36:29Speaker 1: for time to address seth rollins and that time is now,
- 36:33Speaker 1: So he told him, get your ass out to the ring.
- 36:37Speaker 1: And so after a break, Haymon was in the ring
- 36:40Speaker 1: and he's leaning on the ropes and he's looking dead
- 36:43Speaker 1: into the hardcam, and he said he was having a
- 36:46Speaker 1: bad night because there was no one left for him
- 36:49Speaker 1: to hide behind. He said, bron Breaker and Bronson Reid,
- 36:53Speaker 1: they're not going to be back anytime soon. Brock Lesner
- 36:56Speaker 1: already left the building because of fucking course he did
- 36:59Speaker 1: like I said, but he was gone after the fucking
- 37:02Speaker 1: by the third segment of the show, he was already
- 37:04Speaker 1: in flight, he said. Logan, Paul and Austin theory they're
- 37:07Speaker 1: both semi conscious, which leaves me. He called Seth Rolins
- 37:12Speaker 1: his stalker, and WWE is not big enough for the
- 37:16Speaker 1: both of them. Hayman said that wasn't a challenge for
- 37:19Speaker 1: a WrestleMania map. Now I will have a complete and
- 37:22Speaker 1: total meltdown here on this stream. If Gunther has no
- 37:26Speaker 1: match of WrestleMania, but Paul Hayman does, Okay, that's where
- 37:30Speaker 1: I just that's my red line that cannot be crossed.
- 37:35Speaker 1: It's one thing for Jelly Roll to have a match
- 37:37Speaker 1: on the show or I show speed, but if you
- 37:41Speaker 1: put Paul Hayman in a match on the WrestleMania card,
- 37:45Speaker 1: I'm gonna freak out. But he said, that's not what
- 37:48Speaker 1: this is. He's not putting out any challenges. He said,
- 37:52Speaker 1: maybe it was time Rollins came out and just put
- 37:54Speaker 1: him out of his misery. Ah, speaking of misery. Timing
- 38:02Speaker 1: of that tweet. Tweet timing of that super chat was impeccable.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Thank you, Barry, thank you for the tweet. I still
- 38:19Speaker 1: got my mind on sad tweet from this past week.
- 38:22Speaker 1: I had some fun talking about that on the podcast.
- 38:27Speaker 1: So a masked man enters through the crowd, stands up
- 38:30Speaker 1: on top of the announced desk, pulls the mask off
- 38:33Speaker 1: and reveals Seth Rollins. So four Boston Police officers immediately
- 38:39Speaker 1: show up in front of the announced desk, and Paul
- 38:41Speaker 1: Hayman is smiling from the ring, and the cops lead
- 38:44Speaker 1: Rollins through the crowd. They don't cuff him or anything.
- 38:47Speaker 1: He's going he's cooperating. As they're escorting him through the
- 38:52Speaker 1: crowd to the back. Hayman is running his mouth about
- 38:56Speaker 1: you know how he took out a restraining order on Rolin.
- 39:00Speaker 1: You're not supposed to be within fifty feet of me,
- 39:03Speaker 1: which means that you are in violation of the order,
- 39:06Speaker 1: which means that you have just committed a felony, which
- 39:10Speaker 1: means that you are going to jail. It means you
- 39:13Speaker 1: are going to prison, which means your wife is going
- 39:16Speaker 1: to divorce you and is going to end up with
- 39:18Speaker 1: half the locker room, which is quite the comment to make.
- 39:22Speaker 1: He said that he would adopt their daughter, and at
- 39:25Speaker 1: that point Rollins he cut away from the cops because
- 39:30Speaker 1: by this point they were kind of over where the
- 39:32Speaker 1: stage was, so he cut through the stage, He ran
- 39:36Speaker 1: down the aisleway, he charged into the ring Hayman. The
- 39:39Speaker 1: only thing that Hayman could do at this point, he
- 39:42Speaker 1: just threw the microphone at Seth, which I thought was funny,
- 39:45Speaker 1: and then Seth dropped him with one punch. Cops get
- 39:48Speaker 1: in the ring, they handcuff stone cold Seth Rollins, and
- 39:52Speaker 1: they escorted him out of the building, while Hayman just
- 39:54Speaker 1: sat in the corner and smiled like his plan had worked.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Seth and Becky's daughter Rue It's gonna be very excited
- 40:03Speaker 1: watching this show. I mean all the times her name
- 40:05Speaker 1: was mentioned, all the times that not her name, but
- 40:08Speaker 1: all the times that she was mentioned on this show,
- 40:10Speaker 1: not only by her mother but by Paul Hayman. She's
- 40:14Speaker 1: like a little rock star. Bailey and Lyra Valkyria against
- 40:21Speaker 1: Osca and Kyrie. Sane, I like that name better. Who's
- 40:28Speaker 1: a sage? Says Ice cold seth Rollins. How did we
- 40:32Speaker 1: go from stone cold Steve Austin to ice cold seth Rollins.
- 40:38Speaker 1: What a difference twenty five years can make? Bailey hit
- 40:43Speaker 1: Bailey to belly. That left Oscar laying on top of
- 40:45Speaker 1: the announced desk late in the match, so she climbed
- 40:48Speaker 1: up on top of the barricade. She came off with
- 40:50Speaker 1: a diving elbow that missed when Oscar moved. So Oscar
- 40:55Speaker 1: and Kyrie they're outside. I don't know if they're arguing
- 40:57Speaker 1: or whatever, but they're just standing around and Lyra Valcarrie
- 41:01Speaker 1: is in the ring and she comes through the ropes
- 41:03Speaker 1: with a diving dropkick onto both women. Lyra then puts
- 41:08Speaker 1: Kyrie back in the ring. She hits her with her
- 41:10Speaker 1: night wing finish and she picks up the win. So
- 41:14Speaker 1: Bailey crashed and burned on the announced desk. But Lyra
- 41:17Speaker 1: really is the one that saved it for him. So
- 41:19Speaker 1: they got along fine. Here. You know all those signs
- 41:22Speaker 1: of like dissension between them, I mean that's months ago
- 41:25Speaker 1: at this point. That thing I even pointed out the
- 41:28Speaker 1: other week. You know, the whole story about Bailey in
- 41:31Speaker 1: this multiple personality or if you piss her off, you know,
- 41:35Speaker 1: like she's fucking Bruce Banner, that's all gone. I mean
- 41:39Speaker 1: it seems to be dropped. I mean they haven't done
- 41:41Speaker 1: anything with that in many, many weeks. So they were
- 41:45Speaker 1: fully on the same page here. When the match was over,
- 41:48Speaker 1: Jackie Redman got into the ring to interview them, interview
- 41:51Speaker 1: Bail Carria, and so Bailey had a message for Nya
- 41:55Speaker 1: Jackson lash legend. She mentioned that next week we're going
- 42:00Speaker 1: to be in the world's most famous arena. Now what
- 42:05Speaker 1: did they think was going to happen when they mentioned
- 42:08Speaker 1: the world's most famous arena here in Boston. This crowd,
- 42:13Speaker 1: this was more heat than anything got on this entire show.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Outside of this segment. This got more heat than anything
- 42:21Speaker 1: else on the show. New York City Madison Square Garden
- 42:27Speaker 1: was the biggest heel on Monday Night Raw Tonight. The
- 42:30Speaker 1: booze are raining down on poor Bailey here, and I
- 42:36Speaker 1: mean loud booze here from the jealous Boston crowd. I
- 42:39Speaker 1: mean it's understandable, you know, I mean they're just upset
- 42:42Speaker 1: that the original Boston Garden doesn't exist anymore, and New
- 42:46Speaker 1: York has the more famous garden. So Bailey said, hold up,
- 42:50Speaker 1: hold up, wait a second. Here Bailey and Lyra are
- 42:54Speaker 1: gonna beat Nya in lash has that sound, and everybody cheered,
- 42:57Speaker 1: and Bailey said, okay, good, we'll end on that note.
- 43:02Speaker 1: This is just I mean, we know where this is going.
- 43:05Speaker 1: I mean, this is all building to a multi team
- 43:07Speaker 1: match at WrestleMania, because we've seen that the Bella Twins
- 43:10Speaker 1: had their shot and that got all fucked up. Charlotte
- 43:15Speaker 1: and Alexa did they get their rematch? Who got the
- 43:17Speaker 1: women's tag title match a couple of weeks ago? Was
- 43:21Speaker 1: it them? I think it was them. You could tell
- 43:24Speaker 1: I like half care about this. But everyone's getting their
- 43:28Speaker 1: shot in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania, and then
- 43:30Speaker 1: there's going to be a no contest, there's going to
- 43:32Speaker 1: be a disqualification, and in the end, it's all get
- 43:34Speaker 1: to build to five or six teams fighting over the
- 43:36Speaker 1: tag team titles of WrestleMania. That's basically where this is headed.
- 43:42Speaker 1: So we go backstage and I show speed is there.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Apparently Brian Alvarez his favorite wrestler and Penta was teaching
- 43:51Speaker 1: him how to do the Pentis strut. Dragonly walked in.
- 43:55Speaker 1: Speed asked if he's a real dragon, and Lee said
- 43:59Speaker 1: he was, and Show told him I'm a dog. Then
- 44:05Speaker 1: he barked and he left. Okay, So Penta told Dragonly
- 44:12Speaker 1: he would give him a rematch for the IC title
- 44:14Speaker 1: whenever he wants it. It was a great match they
- 44:17Speaker 1: had last week. Adam Pierce elsewhere was talking to Speed
- 44:21Speaker 1: after this, and Speed said he was having the time
- 44:24Speaker 1: of his life. Dan Hausen shows up and he asks Speed,
- 44:30Speaker 1: how do you have so many followers or subscribers. So
- 44:35Speaker 1: Dan Housen has an idea that he wants to pitch Speed.
- 44:38Speaker 1: He says, why don't you give me your password? Give
- 44:41Speaker 1: me your YouTube password, and then we could do our
- 44:44Speaker 1: own YouTube show called I Show Speedhausen and then we
- 44:48Speaker 1: can split the profits. And Speed turns him down and
- 44:54Speaker 1: Dan Housen curses him. So now I fully expect I
- 44:58Speaker 1: Show Speed is going to wake up to and like
- 45:01Speaker 1: ninety million YouTube subs are just gonna vanish. I don't know,
- 45:06Speaker 1: you know, Speed sometimes in those videos that he posts,
- 45:09Speaker 1: like when he goes on these different trips, I forgot
- 45:11Speaker 1: where he was a few months ago. He was at
- 45:15Speaker 1: a vacationing somewhere wherever he was, and he was wasn't
- 45:19Speaker 1: hang gliding, I don't know what the hell it was.
- 45:21Speaker 1: And he was riding in like over the pyramids, and
- 45:25Speaker 1: I'm watching this and I'm like getting sweaty palms just
- 45:28Speaker 1: watching it. So I'm like, oh, don't fall out of
- 45:31Speaker 1: the plane or whatever it is. So I don't know,
- 45:34Speaker 1: we got to watch now he's been cursed by Dan Housen. Yeah,
- 45:39Speaker 1: this was the dumbest of the Dan Housen segments so far.
- 45:43Speaker 1: You know, people still pop when he pops up on TV,
- 45:45Speaker 1: but you got to give him something fun to do,
- 45:48Speaker 1: something good. Backstage, Oscar blamed Kyrie for their loss and
- 45:53Speaker 1: told her to make it up to her. So Oscar
- 45:57Speaker 1: left and at that point Eo Sky showed up. I
- 46:04Speaker 1: was so flummixed by the fact that Gunther had not
- 46:06Speaker 1: been on the show for three weeks in a row.
- 46:08Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that Eosky had not shown up
- 46:11Speaker 1: on the show. So Eo shows up and she's trying
- 46:15Speaker 1: to console Kyrie, and she says, I know we've had
- 46:18Speaker 1: our ups and downs recently, but you don't deserve to
- 46:21Speaker 1: be treated like this. You deserve better. And then we
- 46:26Speaker 1: hear Oscar and off goes Kyrie's sing. When EO turns around, though,
- 46:34Speaker 1: Raquel Rodriguez. I don't know if it's Riquel Rodriguez or Andre
- 46:37Speaker 1: the Giant, but Raquel Rodriguez is standing there, and apparently
- 46:42Speaker 1: she grew six inches because she was just fucking towering.
- 46:45Speaker 1: I mean, EO looked like a small child. I know
- 46:49Speaker 1: that Raquel. I think it's taller than her, but Raquel
- 46:51Speaker 1: ain't that tall. I don't know if she had lips
- 46:54Speaker 1: in her boots. I don't know if they had her
- 46:56Speaker 1: standing on a box. I don't know what it was.
- 46:59Speaker 1: But she just just look like a giant hovering over
- 47:02Speaker 1: EO sky here and she challenged EO to meet her
- 47:06Speaker 1: in the ring next week in Madison Square Garden, and
- 47:10Speaker 1: EO accepted. So here we are with another match that
- 47:15Speaker 1: you look at and go I thought that was gonna
- 47:18Speaker 1: be the WrestleMania match, but they're doing it on TV. Okay,
- 47:22Speaker 1: so they're doing EO and Raquel on TV next week?
- 47:26Speaker 1: Are we not getting EO and Raquel at WrestleMania? Are
- 47:29Speaker 1: they going to do the same thing with EO and
- 47:30Speaker 1: Raquel they've been doing with all these other matches and
- 47:33Speaker 1: do a non finish that leads to another singles match
- 47:36Speaker 1: of media. I don't know EO's another one where if
- 47:38Speaker 1: she's not wrestling Raquel, what the fuck is EO Sky doing?
- 47:41Speaker 1: Like my brain cannot comprehend that Gunther and EO Sky,
- 47:46Speaker 1: the two best wrestlers in the company, are in a
- 47:48Speaker 1: position right now where they may not have matches at WrestleMania,
- 47:52Speaker 1: Like I can't. I can't even begin to understand how
- 47:55Speaker 1: that happens. So I'm fairly confident EO will be in
- 47:59Speaker 1: a match on that show. But if it's not against Raquel,
- 48:02Speaker 1: I have no fucking idea what she's doing on that
- 48:05Speaker 1: show none. Maybe she could, maybe maybe she and Dan
- 48:10Speaker 1: Housen can be a team in the multi team women's
- 48:13Speaker 1: tag team title match. I don't know. Dan Housen in
- 48:16Speaker 1: a wig partnered up with EO Sky, I don't know.
- 48:21Speaker 1: We have Penta against Dominicque Mysterio for the Intercontinental EO
- 48:27Speaker 1: versus Oscar WrestleMania. Well, that's the match I wanted, But
- 48:32Speaker 1: last week they were talking about going after the women's
- 48:34Speaker 1: tag team titles, So which is it. Are they not
- 48:40Speaker 1: going to be a part of the multi team match?
- 48:42Speaker 1: I mean, that'd be fine if they weren't. Wasn't that
- 48:45Speaker 1: basically what they insinuated on the show last week? I
- 48:49Speaker 1: basically gave up on the fucking idea. I would love
- 48:52Speaker 1: it if it ends up being EO against OSCA. I
- 48:54Speaker 1: think it should. You can see where my brain is.
- 48:59Speaker 1: Bas gave up on it last week. Well, then I
- 49:04Speaker 1: hope that's the match. Now you got my hopes up again.
- 49:14Speaker 1: Now you got my hopes up again. So as Dominic
- 49:19Speaker 1: and Live Morgan were entering for a Dom's match with Penta,
- 49:23Speaker 1: Stephanie Vequer attacked Lived from behind and officials came out
- 49:28Speaker 1: to try to pull Stephanie away. Live took advantage. Excuse me,
- 49:33Speaker 1: took advantage of that. She attacked Stephanie tossed her into
- 49:36Speaker 1: the led wall. So the fight spilled into the gorilla
- 49:39Speaker 1: position and the officials were trying to separate the two
- 49:41Speaker 1: of them. These two ladies were beating the hell out
- 49:43Speaker 1: of each other here. So after the break we saw
- 49:47Speaker 1: JD mcdonoughh had joined at ringside in Dom's corner for
- 49:50Speaker 1: this championship match. Later on, Dom kicked out of a
- 49:55Speaker 1: Penta driver. He sent Penta into the ropes. He was
- 49:58Speaker 1: going to go for a six to one to nine
- 50:00Speaker 1: as he came off the ropes, he ended up eating
- 50:03Speaker 1: a super kick instead. JD gets up on the apron,
- 50:06Speaker 1: Penta is distracted. That leads ultimately to the six to
- 50:09Speaker 1: one ninth. So Dom is going up top and we
- 50:13Speaker 1: hear Finn Balor's music and it says Balor Club. Even
- 50:16Speaker 1: though he has no club anymore, he's the Balor Club
- 50:19Speaker 1: is on the video wall, and outwalks Finn Balor is
- 50:22Speaker 1: the first time we've seen him since he was excommunicated
- 50:25Speaker 1: from the judgment day and he does like the slow
- 50:29Speaker 1: you know walk out and JD McDonough runs up to
- 50:33Speaker 1: him in the aisleway and Finn just kicks his ass.
- 50:37Speaker 1: So now Finn turns his attention back to Dom. Dom
- 50:40Speaker 1: is still on the top rope, by the way, so
- 50:42Speaker 1: now Dom is going for the frog splash. Like a
- 50:45Speaker 1: minute has passed and Penta has been laying there the
- 50:48Speaker 1: entire time, so naturally Dom comes off the top. Penta
- 50:53Speaker 1: gets the knees up and then he cradles him into
- 50:57Speaker 1: a cover for the three count and Penta attains the championship.
- 51:02Speaker 1: So when the match was over, Pentages disappeared. He gets up,
- 51:05Speaker 1: he celebrates with his belt. Goodbye, Finn. Balor comes down
- 51:09Speaker 1: to the ring and he Dom tries to scurry out,
- 51:14Speaker 1: and Balor drags him back to the center of the
- 51:16Speaker 1: ring and he starts pouncing on him. And again the
- 51:18Speaker 1: crowd is very lukewarm, like when Balor came out and
- 51:21Speaker 1: he came down to the ring. I mean they were, yeah,
- 51:23Speaker 1: they were cheering, but nothing like that you would hope for,
- 51:27Speaker 1: you know, that he would get this big reaction because
- 51:30Speaker 1: people really wanted to see him kick this guy's ass.
- 51:33Speaker 1: I just thought it was very underwhelming. But anyway, he's
- 51:36Speaker 1: going after Dom. McDonough pulls Dom out of the ring
- 51:40Speaker 1: before Finn can hit the Kuda Grass, so Finn dives
- 51:43Speaker 1: out over the top rope onto both of them. He
- 51:46Speaker 1: drags Dom back into the ring again. McDonough's the rescue,
- 51:50Speaker 1: so Finn hits the final cut on McDonough. Dom runs
- 51:54Speaker 1: off into the crowd and Finn hits the shotgun drop kick.
- 51:58Speaker 1: He hits the Kuda Grass on JD while Dom looks
- 52:01Speaker 1: on from the audience. I'll tell you what I'm looking
- 52:04Speaker 1: forward to I'm looking forward to the TV match sometime
- 52:07Speaker 1: in the next few weeks between Balor and McDonough that
- 52:13Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a fun match teacher and student,
- 52:17Speaker 1: mentor and mentee. And then it just becomes a question
- 52:22Speaker 1: of do they work Baler and dom into the multiman
- 52:25Speaker 1: match that I'm sure we're gonna get the IC title
- 52:28Speaker 1: of WrestleMania, or do we let them have their own
- 52:30Speaker 1: singles match? Is their room on the card to do?
- 52:34Speaker 1: No titles or anything, just a straight singles match between
- 52:37Speaker 1: Finn Balor and Dominic Mysterio. I would hope so, because
- 52:40Speaker 1: this is something that has been building for two years.
- 52:43Speaker 1: It's a story that is rich with history. It should
- 52:46Speaker 1: not have taken this long to get to this point.
- 52:49Speaker 1: But now that we're here, yeah, I would say that's
- 52:51Speaker 1: a worthy undercard match of WrestleMania. And maybe we get
- 52:55Speaker 1: Demon Finn, you know who comes out, because there was
- 52:58Speaker 1: talk about maybe him bringing the Demon back a few
- 53:00Speaker 1: months ago. So that's where we seem to be headed now.
- 53:05Speaker 1: See I'm punk was in the gorilla position backstage and
- 53:08Speaker 1: he spotted Jimmy Usso leaning up against the wall. See
- 53:11Speaker 1: he goes over to Jimmy, and Jimmy tells him be careful,
- 53:14Speaker 1: my brother is on the warpath. Punk thanks him for
- 53:19Speaker 1: the warning, and out to the ring goes the world
- 53:22Speaker 1: heavyweight champion. Here for closing segments on this show, he
- 53:27Speaker 1: tells the fans that Jimmy warned me before I came
- 53:30Speaker 1: out here. That is brother Roman's cousin, jay Uso is
- 53:35Speaker 1: on the warpath tonight, said. It goes to show you
- 53:38Speaker 1: that Roman can't do anything without his cousins, and his
- 53:42Speaker 1: cousins can't do anything without Roman reigns. He said, nobody
- 53:46Speaker 1: in that family can do anything by themselves. Nobody in
- 53:50Speaker 1: that family can be heavyweight champion of the world. He
- 53:53Speaker 1: has them so shook. Roman said, all the Samoans can
- 53:57Speaker 1: come after him if they choose. You know how many
- 54:00Speaker 1: Samoans that they have in that family, And he said,
- 54:04Speaker 1: you know how many Samoans have looked at me cross eyed,
- 54:06Speaker 1: a big fat zero. This is the shit talk business.
- 54:11Speaker 1: We do say awful things about each other to sell
- 54:13Speaker 1: the big fight. That's my job. But these are just words,
- 54:17Speaker 1: and being in a blue collar city like Boston, I'm
- 54:20Speaker 1: tired of talking. These are just empty words. But Roman
- 54:23Speaker 1: did say one thing last week that pissed him off.
- 54:27Speaker 1: He said Roman called him old. It's not what he said, though.
- 54:33Speaker 1: It's not a matter of like him calling him old,
- 54:35Speaker 1: per ses who said it. His young boy does not
- 54:40Speaker 1: get to disrespect him and call him old if he
- 54:43Speaker 1: told us that. If he told us that he isn't,
- 54:47Speaker 1: he would be a liar, right see him Punkin stand
- 54:49Speaker 1: in the ring and say he's not old, you know,
- 54:52Speaker 1: by wrestling standards. Anyway, he's fucking old. So he's not
- 54:55Speaker 1: gonna lie to us. Is he old? Yes, I am old.
- 54:58Speaker 1: Is he ashamed of it? Hell? No, he's proud of it.
- 55:02Speaker 1: If he was ashamed of how old he was, he
- 55:04Speaker 1: would be covering up these whiskers with just for men,
- 55:07Speaker 1: just like Roman does. And the crowd said, whoh, he's
- 55:12Speaker 1: middle aged and crazy like Terry Funk was. He's old
- 55:15Speaker 1: like Nolan Ryan was, and he was still out there
- 55:18Speaker 1: throwing no hitters. He mentioned Gordie Howe played hockey into
- 55:22Speaker 1: his fifties. The older Punk gets, the more pressure he feels,
- 55:25Speaker 1: and the more pressure he feels, the better he is.
- 55:28Speaker 1: Age is just the number. He's old. But he's not insecure.
- 55:32Speaker 1: He doesn't come out here and ask the fans to
- 55:34Speaker 1: acknowledge me. Acknowledge me. Last week, this old man dropped
- 55:41Speaker 1: him with one punch, and then he said at WrestleMania
- 55:45Speaker 1: twenty minutes deep, when all that oil and jizz, Roman
- 55:50Speaker 1: covers himself and dries up. M when all of that
- 56:00Speaker 1: dries up, just like his chances of becoming World heavyweight
- 56:04Speaker 1: champion will dry up, He's gonna jack him with a
- 56:07Speaker 1: g Okay. So let's stop here for a second. In
- 56:13Speaker 1: the last ten seconds, I have told you that Cmpunk
- 56:17Speaker 1: talked about oil and jizz, and now he's talking about
- 56:22Speaker 1: jacking up Roman reigns. What kind of match are we
- 56:26Speaker 1: getting you WrestleMania. You know I wanted to see this match,
- 56:30Speaker 1: but now I'm not so sure. I'm a little concerned.
- 56:33Speaker 1: To be honest with you, this is what he said.
- 56:39Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what the man said. So when
- 56:44Speaker 1: all of that dries up, he says he's gonna jack
- 56:47Speaker 1: him with a GTS And Roman goes to sleep, and
- 56:50Speaker 1: he wakes up Monday morning and realizes that Punk is
- 56:53Speaker 1: the best in the world. He just got beat by
- 56:57Speaker 1: the not just an old man, but by the old man.
- 57:04Speaker 1: What do we do? What are we doing here? What
- 57:10Speaker 1: are we doing here? He goes, you know, someone who
- 57:19Speaker 1: didn't underestimate him and still couldn't get the job done, Gunther.
- 57:24Speaker 1: Oh my god, they remember his name. That's the first
- 57:29Speaker 1: mention of this man in three fucking weeks on this show,
- 57:33Speaker 1: and it was in the context of someone who couldn't
- 57:35Speaker 1: beat him. So just reminding you that, for all the
- 57:38Speaker 1: dominant wins that Gunther has had recently, Seempunk did beat
- 57:42Speaker 1: him at SummerSlam, So can't forget that. He goes someone
- 57:45Speaker 1: else who underestimated me and couldn't get the job done,
- 57:48Speaker 1: Jay Usso jay USO's music hit at that point, and
- 57:52Speaker 1: out he came, and Punk asked, what are you gonna do?
- 57:55Speaker 1: Yeap me to death. Jay got in the ring and
- 57:58Speaker 1: he's pacing back and forth. He told Punk that your
- 58:02Speaker 1: ass is old and he's been hitting the head too
- 58:05Speaker 1: many times because you're still out here running your mouth.
- 58:10Speaker 1: Said we could do it right now, oose, I'll run
- 58:14Speaker 1: it back on your old ass right here, And Punk
- 58:17Speaker 1: said that Jade never got his rematch that he rightfully deserves.
- 58:20Speaker 1: Excuse me, rematch he rightfully deserved. I don't think he
- 58:24Speaker 1: needed a rematch let's not be encouraging rematches here. But
- 58:28Speaker 1: he said, you never got the rematch that you were.
- 58:30Speaker 1: You want your rematch right here in Boston. Let's do it.
- 58:34Speaker 1: So Jimmy came out and interrupted, and he asked Jay, like,
- 58:37Speaker 1: what are you doing out here? He understands how he feels,
- 58:41Speaker 1: but every time he gets emotional, he doesn't think all
- 58:45Speaker 1: jc's is red. Because of that, they got disqualified tonight
- 58:49Speaker 1: and they got to defend their titles now next week.
- 58:52Speaker 1: And Jay said that the quiet part out loud here.
- 58:54Speaker 1: He said that he doesn't care about no tag team
- 58:57Speaker 1: titles neither WWE. Jay says, all Punk does is talk
- 59:04Speaker 1: shit about the family. Where's Roman at? He ain't here,
- 59:08Speaker 1: but I'm here, say to me Punk. Finally, Roman Reigns
- 59:12Speaker 1: emerged and he took his sweet time getting down to
- 59:15Speaker 1: the ring. Then he stared at Punk for a while
- 59:19Speaker 1: and said nothing. If there was a championship in WWE
- 59:25Speaker 1: for the best Aura Farmer, Roman Reigns would be champion
- 59:30Speaker 1: for years and years and years. Nobody would be able
- 59:33Speaker 1: to beat this man for the title. That's all he
- 59:37Speaker 1: does when he comes out to the ring. So after
- 59:40Speaker 1: five minutes of this, finally Roman spoke said last time
- 59:45Speaker 1: he checked talking to the USOS. Now says, last time
- 59:48Speaker 1: I checked, you already had a tag match? Is that right?
- 59:52Speaker 1: And Jimmy said that's right. He goes and it's done.
- 59:56Speaker 1: Now that's right. Roman said, I'm going to say this
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: as respectfully as I can. Get your brother and leave
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: my ring. So Punk told him, no, no, no, you
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: should stay. He says, Roman might need you. So Jay
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: lunged it punk Punk knocked him down, so Jimmy came over.
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: He's scuffling with Punkin. In the scuffle, Roman gives Punk
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: a superman punch to the back of the head. So
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: now officials Adam Pierces out there too. Officials, they pour
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: out to the ring. Get the USO's out of there.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: Roman was about to leave too. He was about halfway
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: out of the ring and Jay looks up and he
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: called the shot. He tells Roman, get him, go get him.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: So Roman goes back into the ring and he delivers
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: a spear and he takes down CM Punk and Jay
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: is still yelling at him, get him, get him. So
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: Roman takes him outside. He sends punkin to the steel post.
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: I can't even say that. I mean, they got that
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: stupid led casing around it. The steal. The steel is underneath,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: so it makes a good noise when you throw somebody
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: into it. But it's not really the steel post, now,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: is it. But he throws him into the post, not
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: once but twice. Then he picks him up and he
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: power bombs him. And it was a hard power bomb too.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: Power bombs him through the announced Well, it had to
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: be because they wanted to make sure the table broke,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: so he power bombed him through the announced desk. The
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: crowd chanted one more time. This is what they do.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: They did this after he broke Matt Card on his
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: arm smack that Randy Orton did on Friday night. And
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: they're chanting one more time here to Roman reigns. But
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: they only had one table, so he can only do
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: it one time. Michael Cole said, Punk is laughing, and
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: you can see Punk was kind of going back and
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: forth between like a grimace of pain on his face
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: and also like a little bit of a laughing fit.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: And you can here punked there. Towards the end, the
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: officials are asking him, do you need help, and he's like,
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: I don't need help, and he said I'm not the
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: one who needs help, and then he continued to go
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: back and forth between pain and laughter, and that is
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: how they went off the air outside of the oil
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: and Jizz I quite enjoyed this. Yeah, I just said that.
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: But even the USO's being involved, Like, I like what
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: they did with them here. Yeah, we talk a lot
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: about and I think a lot of people feel the
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: same way I do. The Jay Uso stuff. When he
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: was still involved there towards the tail end doing main events,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: it was awful. It was awful, and Jay feels like
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: he's back where he excels the most. He's back with
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: his brother. He's not in main events, he's not wrestling
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: for World Champion Singles, World championships. Been there, done that.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: It's just like there's other people right now who deserve
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: to be in that spot and are better being in
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: that spot than Jay Uso. But they have found a
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: way to work him into this story where you know,
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: he's more serious. He's not just coming out and yeating.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: He's not just coming out and four letters one word,
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: uh huh. I like doing all the stuff that he
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: was doing week in and week out. You know, he's
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: coming out, he's all pissed off and That's why I
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: said at the beginning, it reminds me more of the
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: right hand man Jay Uso and not yep man Jay
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: us So it is very similar to the Jay us
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: So we saw going back to the Bloodline days, you know,
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: which is what made him popular in the first place.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: He's being more assertive. He took on the Roman Rains
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: role at the end of the show, which is just
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: what l. A. Knight said when he said that to
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: him in the back earlier. He goes, you're starting to
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: remind me more of Roman Reigns and Jay didn't want
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: to hear it, and Jay walked off, But then Jake
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: came out and proved him right. At the end of
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: the show was he was being Roman Reigns. He was
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: bossing around Roman Reigns and telling him no, stay, go
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: get him, go get him. So I like the way
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: that the end. Then Jimmy, of course is just the
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: voice of reason and all this, So I like the
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: one or I like the way rather that they were
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: able to use the usos in this segment. I still
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: hope that we are not building to a full blown
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: official Bloodline reunion because I don't want to see that.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: I don't want to see that in that. To me,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: it's just lazy to go back to that, it would
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: be incredibly lazy. I don't know what the end goal
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: is here with Roman and the USOS, but I hope
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: that's not what we're looking at here. But you got
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: to try to keep this build interesting in some way.
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: I think bringing family into it is something personal. It
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: gives them a real give someone like Roman or reason
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: to get pissed off when somebody speaks about his family.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Didn't really do a good job of that last week.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: I thought they kind of handled that whole thing wrong.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: This week. This was the Roman reigns that I was
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: hoping to see last week, you know, the one that
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: lets his hair down, throws c Mpunk out of the ring,
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: power bombs him through the fucking table. That's the Roman
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: reigns I want to see Cem Punk. Now he's got
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: to come back and he's got to get his revenge,
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: you know, for what was done to him this week?
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: What does that look like? Are we gonna see more
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: Samoan family members, you know, getting involved here? Who else
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: is less Solo Sokoa. I'm not sure that there are
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: any left that would even make sense. You know, Jacob's
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: doing his own thing with Drew McIntyre. Solo's got the
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: fucking lantern that he won't get rid of. So I
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: think this is pretty much what we're looking at here.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: But this was a much improved segment than the one
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: that we had last week. Roman, I'm not expecting him
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: to wrestle between now and Madia Punk I am. So
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: maybe we can get Punk in a match against I mean,
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: I guess it would make more sense for it to
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: be Jay because they were about to throw down tonight.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: You know, Punk's the one who said, hey, you never
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: got your rematch, So I wonder if that's indicative of
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: the fact that Jay Usso may be getting a World
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: Heavyweight Championship match. And that'll be interesting potentially because Roman
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: is the one getting a shot of wrestle Mania. So
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: does Roman get involved and do something to cost his
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: cousin because he doesn't want his cousin winning the world championship,
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: not before media. You could play that angle if you want.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: Would not be surprised to get punkin jay Uso at
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: some point over these next few weeks. They didn't announce
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: it tonight for Madison Square Garden next week, it doesn't
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: mean they can't announce it during the week. I would
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: think a big match like that they would have wanted
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: to announce on the show tonight, and they didn't. I
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: don't know where they are the week after. Where are
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: they the week after? I don't I don't know. Yeah,
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: maybe somebody can look it up. I don't know what
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: city they're in. But we could get a punkin j
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: match between now and then. I think that's very possible.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: But I just liked that we had physicality, to a
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: real physicality, you know, involving these not just the punch,
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: but we had more physicality tonight. You can only do
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: so much talking, you know, before that gets old, Not
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: as old as see em Punk, but it does get old, yeah,
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: for a while. So I think they're in a good
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: place right now. With their main events still three weeks
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: to build, We're gonna get supposedly get some sort of
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: Randy Orton apology to Cody Rhoades on SmackDown this Friday again.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: Cody will be on Pat McAfee's show on Wednesday to
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: speak for the first time since the attack. We still
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: don't know who Randy Orton's been on the phone with
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: the last two weeks, so they got some stuff cooking
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: that's good. Still a lot of holes though on the
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: WrestleMania card that have to really be filled in outside
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: of the main events and brock Lesnar against Obafemi. Honestly,
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: right now, the rest of this card really it really
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: does feel just very blase for a WrestleMania you know,
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: Ria in Jade, outside of Ria or outside of a
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: Charlotte and Jade, it's the biggest match they could do
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: right now, but it's very cold. Stephanie and Live. I
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: like that little brawl they had tonight, but even Stephanie
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Live feels very cold. You know. The women's tag team
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: titles that I don't really I don't give a shit.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: The men's Intercontinental title looks like if it's defended, it's
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: gonna probably be in some big multiman match. We don't
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: even know if Carmelo Hayes is going to defend the
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: US title. He already beat Illya Dragonov on Friday. He's
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: gonna face him again. We know we got AJM Becky
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: for the women's IC title. I mean that should be okay.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: Women's US title probably headed towards Julia Tiffany and then
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: maybe maybe Chelsea, if Chelsea can get clear, I still
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: feel like that's gonna end up being a three way
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: jelly roll in something with the Miz. I mean, this
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: is fucking WrestleMania, Like it doesn't feel like WrestleMania outside
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: of those top three matches. Now, the main events are
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: the most important thing, But you have two nights of
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: WrestleMania with anywhere from fourteen to sixteen matches. I would
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: hope you can get beyond just three matches that actually
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: feel like WrestleMania. We're not there yet, and there are
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: still people who are unaccounted for on the card. So
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: that's kind of where we are here. That's the state
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: of things here as we sit here, three weeks out
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: from WrestleMania forty two. Now, next Monday at Madison Square,
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: Guard and Brockleisner will be on the show. We have
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: the USOS against the Vision for the Tag Belts New
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: York City Street Fight. Bailey and Lyra are going to
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: take on Naya and Lash for the women's tag team titles,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: and EO Sky goes one on one with Raquel Rodriguez, which, actually,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: now that I think about that, probably is a pretty
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: good sign that we will end up getting EO and
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: OSCA WrestleMania, and that would make me happy. As soon
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: as I saw her on screen with Kyrie tonight, I
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: was like, oh, but my mind was still thinking towards
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: you know, EO and Raquel for media. But it'll be
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: good if they kind of get that out of the
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: way next week. Here's a Twitter Paul, what did you
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: think of raw from Boston? Seventy four percent thumbs up
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: and about twenty six percent thumbs down for tonight's show,
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Tom Brady against Logan Paul, Oh G, Yeah, that's great. Yeah,
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: they're trying to get Tom Brady on the show, not
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: necessarily for Tom Brady is not wrestling. Tom Brady is
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: not wrestling. Hey, Aaron, thank you for the four ninety nine.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Oscar will probably interfere tell EO
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: to stay out of her business with Kyrie. Go hug
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: rhees more. I like it HEO versus Oscar for custody
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: of Kyrie, Kyrieanna Pole. Maybe we get Kyrie on a
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: pole bro. Yeah, they're very desperate for Tom Brady again WWE.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: They are a bunch of starfuckers and they want to
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: fill the show up with as many celebrities as possible,
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: so it'll make it'll make them look cool, it'll make
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: the product look hot. This is how they are. Joseph
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: Stewart is with us. I hope you're having a good Monday. Joseph,
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: thank you, brother said, oh, Raw is in Houston in
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: two weeks. All right, Houston is a good wrestling city.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: Rest in peace. Nicholas Brendan, who played Xander in Buffy
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: the Vampire Slayer. I never watched the show. Also, Valerie
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: Perene played Mss Testmocker in the Superman movies. Have you
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: seen the movie Lenny with Dustin Hoffman. I have not.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: Today's the anniversary of the worst day in wrestling history
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: WWE buys WCW. Yeah, I'll touch on that on The
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: Uncrowned Wrestling Show tomorrow a little bit, and then probably
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: on the sound off next weekend a little bit more.
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: But yeah, this is twenty five year anniversary. Twenty five years,
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: he says, I miss WCW so much. WCW should still
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: be in business right now. Were you a fan of
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra and do you have a favorite Sinatra? So? Yeah,
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: I have nothing against them. New York, New York to
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: all my Boston fans out there New York, New York
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: said it was a Scooby Doo reunion with Sarah, Michelle Geller,
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: and Linda Cardolini this past weekend. Is Jurassic Park one
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: of your favorite movies? It is? It is? I like
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: Jurassic Park. Did you see the trailer to the new
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: live action Moana movie? I didn't. I saw. I saw
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: a picture of the Rock playing Maui. He looks like
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: he fattened up for the role. Unless that was all CGI.
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: But Joseph thank you, also wants to know if I'm
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: excited to see the Rock return as Maui. I didn't
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: see the Moana cartoon. I have no interest in seeing
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: the live action movie. But if you see it, I
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: hope you enjoy it. I will not be seeing it.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: Do you think Dominic Mysterio, bron Breaker, Oba Femi, and
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: Jacob Fatu are the young pillars of w W A.
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: They're certainly the building blocks I think of the next
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: generation of WWE. They're all They're all them, and a
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: few others are all on there. Oh it's a muscle suit. Okay,
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: that looked like you just ate a lot of carbs
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: and got fat for the role. But I guess that
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: makes sense. Phil w w E two K twenty six
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: graphics are ass Is that true? Did the graphics actually
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: get worse in two K twenty six? Why would they
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: get worse? The sheltered kid Pops surprised me today with
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: a Solemn Monster shirt. I know I'm twenty, but this
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: shirt means to me what your MSG WrestleMania's shirt meant
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: to you. Oh, thank you. Wow, that's that's very cool.
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: I have a I have a shirt from the original
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: WRESTLEMANI the very first restle I was not there, but
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: my father and his father were and they got me
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: a WrestleMania sure, and I still have it. Well, your
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: pops has a good taste. Tell them, I said, thank
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: you for that, GMB. I know it's from different people,
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: but it humors me that many praise Raquel's last five
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: or six months, but folks are like, nah, fuck that.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: If she's EO's WrestleMania match, it's beneath the up. Just
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: because Raquel has improved does not mean that EO. Sky
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: should be wrestling Raquel Rodriguez in a nothing match of
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: WrestleMania that was put together in like three weeks. That's
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: the difference. Dry Chicken says, hearing the reactions for Orton lately,
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: they should have done a fatal four way match for
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: the WWE Championship with Cody Orton, Drew and Jacob. I
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: was all for it. I would not have had an
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: issue with that. Also, I missed the Rock. I wish
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: the Final Boss comes back. I'm sure he will at
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: some point, but he's you know, I don't dwell on
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: when the Rock may or may not come back because
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: we've all, you know, we've been burned before by this.
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: So I don't factor him into my WrestleMania thoughts. Whatsoever
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: he shows up, he shows up, If he doesn't, he doesn't,
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: I don't give a shit. Don't care cool music, though
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: I like his theme music. Paul Van Summer and j
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: costing Roman the match at Mania, Please God, no more
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: Roman versus Jay could be you know what, the way
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: that Jay's been popping off lately like a loose cannon.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: He feels very strongly about defending family honor and all that.
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: I could see him factoring into the finish of that match.
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: No idea what Gunther EO Knight are doing for Mania
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: at less than four weeks at assuming Breaker is coming
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: back for Rollins or add him to that list they're
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: hoping that Breaker will be back. Doesn't mean he will,
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: but that's that's the working idea, Nick Grosso, based on
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: what we got tonight, do we think we get EO
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: versus Oscar WrestleMania? Also, what are your thoughts on a
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: double term with Tiffany and Julia and having Keana b
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: Tiffany's representative. I think Tiffany going back heel makes sense
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. I don't think she's a
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: great babyface. But I don't think that people would give
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: a shit about a double term because they don't care
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: enough yet about Julia. They're not there yet with her.
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: You want to do a double turn, it has to
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: be done with somebody that the fans have demonstrated a
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: desire to see turn, And I don't think people would
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: care just my two Tiffany with Keana, I mean, their
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: personalities are kind of similar in some ways. I don't
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: hate it, you know what, I actually I actually think
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: that pairing probably works better than Keana and Juliet does.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: Lakers Pass. How do you how did you feel when
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: news broke that WCW was bought, confused about like what
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: it all meant and how it would work, and kind
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: of sad, you know, because I lived through that whole
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: Monday Night War period as a fan. I was watching
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: every week only mostly WWE. But you know when WCW,
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: before WCW turned to total shit, I'd be flipping back
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: and forth, and Mondays were exciting in a way that
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: they haven't been since. So it was more sadness that
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: it even got to that point than anything else. And
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: then as the news began to trickle out, they were
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: just picking the bones, you know, the trademarks and the
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: pay per view event names and select contracts, and a
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: lot of the big names weren't coming over. You know,
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: kind of reality set in, like, Okay, this thing is done,
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Like this thing is dead. They're not going to run
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: it as like a separate entity. It's over. But you
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: have to remember, WCW died a slow, painful death. It was.
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: It was bad for a while. It wasn't like they
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: were at the peak and then they just suddenly died.
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: So it was kind of a slow death that you
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: could see coming. Didn't make it any less said, and
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: the wrestling business has been worse off for it ever since,
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: or at least until AW came along. And then you
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: had a legitimate, you know, competitor where you had this
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: other person who had all of this money at his displit,
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: like Vince McMahon used to complain about Millionaire Ted's you know,
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: blank check. And so for the first time you had
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: somebody you know, come along and open up this this
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: promotion that had real cable television, you know, on TNT
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: and TBS and wasn't afraid to spend money. We hadn't
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: seen that since the days of WCW. We hadn't had
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: wrestling on the Turner Network since the dying days of WCW.
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: So you had this huge gap from like two thousand
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: and one to twenty nineteen where you know, what do
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: we have TNA. They screwed that pretty good Ring of Honor.
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: Ring of Honor was great, but Ring of Honor was
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: not on that level. You know, they were only going
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: to grow so much dry chicken, says Stephanie Vekaer. Should
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: have ripped some hair off of Live Morgan. Also, it
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: won't surprise me if WrestleMania goes back to one night
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: very soon. No I don't that happening anytime soon. Can't
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: say it'll never happen, But they're still gonna end up
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: moving at least forty five thousand tickets for each night.
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: I think so. If they can sell ninety thousand tickets
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: to a show that in one night they might only
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: sell sixty five thousand, two, they're gonna take the ninety thousand.
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: You know, Financially, it makes more sense to keep things
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: the way it is, And I don't want to go
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: back to those days of fucking ten or eleven match,
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: twelve match WrestleMania cards in one night. Joseph says, scream
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: has become a joke in twenty five years without WCW. Damn,
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: it's hard to believe. Huh quarter of a century has
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: gone by. That's crazy, uh Arabian night. Did you see
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: La Knight's elbow? Yes? In fact, I put a picture
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: of it up earlier in the stream. Also, do you
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: think they're saving Gunther for a segment at WrestleMania with
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: Tom Brady? Oh? My god, is that what they're gonna do?
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: Are they gonna have? But then they're taking their big
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: heel and getting him cheered. If the idea is that
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: he's gonna put a sleeper hold on tom Brady. Is
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: that the big moment that they're going for. Gunther puts
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: tom Brady to sleep, or he gives tom Brady a chop,
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: or even worse, they give tom Brady a moment and
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: he does something to Gunther and Gunther is forced into retreat.
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: That would be even where he's gonna retire tom Brady.
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: Dry Chicken says, wwe wasn't cooking tonight. The creative team
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: keeps making the same old peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: every Monday night. Alexander, I request Anna Yvette's Redline song
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: next show. You haven't played that in ages. I save
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: it for special occasions. Does Gunther even know or care
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: about Tom Brady. I'm sure he knows who he is,
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: but no, I don't think gun there gives two shits
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: about tom Brady. Chris, what the hell are they doing
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: with Gunther? Were this close to Mania and nothing. Ray's
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: been hurt since January, so Triple H had plenty of
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: time to do something. Evidently not. I'm just saying, Helia
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: dragon Off is right there. He's got nothing to do.
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: Aaron says at this point, I feel like instead of
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: adding Gunther into a random undercard match, save him for
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: the raw Aftermania, and have him write Roman off. Well,
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: you're assuming Roman is not winning the World Heavyweight Championship,
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: which he should not. But you're assuming that's not gonna
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: happen unless he's the one to take the World Heavyweight
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: Championship off of Roman. But honestly, I don't even know
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: that Gunther needs a title right now. To be honest
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: with you, this week's episode is sponsored by Wicks. This

- 1:25:59Speaker 1: Barry Macacyr. I think it's Jay Usso against La Knight
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: at WrestleMania. Pierce will tell Seth that he can have
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: a partner of his choosing to face the vision. He
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: will choose Adam Pierce himself. Why why would he choose
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: the general manager of the show who hasn't wrestled in years?
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: Why would he do that? Right? Checking Dan Hausen will
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: curse brack Lesner before WrestleMania. What is a WrestleMania that
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: you thought in the past was going to be really
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: bad going into it, but ended up being really good
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: or better than expected. Maybe WrestleMania thirty nine. WrestleMania thirty
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: nine was actually an excellent WrestleMania. I don't remember if
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: I was terribly excited going into it, though, so that
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: might be one man one that I thought was gonna
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: suck and ended up being really good. I don't know.
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: A lot of the ones that I thought were gonna
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: suck sucked, and a lot of the ones I thought
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: were gonna be good ended up being good. I'll say
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: thirty nine. I feel like that build a thirty nine.
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: I don't remember being a huge fan of it, but
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: that ended up being a sleeper show. But Brandon, thank you,
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: Ian Noel Chicago Screamer. Here gotta say aj Lee versus
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: Becky needs to end at WrestleMania with it reaching a
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: boiling point. I feel like there needs to be a stip.
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: What stip would you choose for them to end their feud?
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: I just talked about this earlier on I would add
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: a submission match or an equip match. You have two
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: women with submission finish. It only makes sense and I
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: agree it should end to WrestleMania. Dry Chicken says, I
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: would break out a big check book for Lesnar to
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: put Oba Femi over. Shouldn't have to break out any
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: check book. It's called doing your job. You know, for
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: the two years that he wasn't on television, he was
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: paid the entire time. He gets paid very well. He
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: shouldn't have to be paid more money on top of
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: what he already makes, just to put somebody over in
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: the ring. Def to Dust, who's the tougher Group nWo
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: or Bad Boy Pistons nWo nWo the Joker's voice this
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: hello solemn monster for Becky versus AJ. Do you possibly
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: see a third person added to the match? Maybe Roxan
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: Perez AJ and Becky putting over the future and newer generation.
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: I do not. Roxanne has not even been mentioned, even
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: when like Live Morgan would be cutting a promo and
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: talking about the different members of the Judgment day, Roxanne
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: has not even been mentioned, so I'm not even sure
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: she'll be back in time for the show. But whether
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: it's Roxanne or anybody else. The story has nothing to
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: do with anybody except AJ and Becky. AJ and Becky
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: is the story. Nobody else should be added to the match.
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: Bace Bears says, I'll always be disappointed with Undertaker being
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: the last surprise or WrestleMania at forty It didn't make sense.
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: Was expecting Austin Roman winning at WrestleMania at thirty nine
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: was better? Well blame Austin. He's the one who said no,
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: said that he was busy as something with his wife.
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: He couldn't get out of it. I don't know if
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: that's just some bullshit excuse. Should he have been there?
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: I mean that spot was tailor made for the Rock
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: to eat a stunner. I feel you, Barry MK. Why
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: do you think WWE adds a full old episode of
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: NXT the YouTube every day but they don't care to
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: bring back all the old raw shows? Also, why is
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: NXT Takeover airing live on YouTube and not Netflix? They
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: don't have a deal with Netflix for NX thing. Why
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: would it they air on Netflix? The raw stuff? You know,
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: I've given up trying to figure out why they even
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: bothered having a raw vault on YouTube or on Netflix.
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: Rather if they don't update it. I don't know, but
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: the fact that there is a raw vault on Netflix
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: could be why they don't upload full episodes of Monday
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: Night Row. I don't know why they do what they do.
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: I assume some of it has to do with rights.
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: Apparently SmackDown is back on Peacock. Don't wait on WW
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: to announce anything. They just do shit. Stuff expires, stuff
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: comes back. They don't say a word. They don't say
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: a word because they don't give a shit. Not a
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: big enough audience for them to give a shit. Paul
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: Carpenter says, if you listen to Booker T's entrance music,
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: you can hear the Putty Patrol from Power Rangers in
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: the song. Just something to look out for. Alex with
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: the Ten says I heard there's gonna be an extremely
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: big surprise name returning to Row next Monday at the Garden,
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: and no it's not Jericho or The Rock, It's gonna
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: be the return of Jalen Brunson. Well, he would be
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: a big name here in New York. Alex o'choa what
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: if Gunther interrupts AJ's speech during the Hall of Fame
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: and challenges him to another match? Of WrestleMania, Alex, that's
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: a wishful thought on your part, but you gotta give
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: it up. You gotta let it go. Aj has a
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: new job. He has a new role behind the scenes
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: in ww A. That and he's playing his video games
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: and he seems very content. Aaron says, Lyra would be
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: a good addition to the SmackDown women's division. Sure would be.
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: You know who else would be? Soul Ruka. Prince Begeta says,
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: in your opinion, which one of these failed pushed Vince
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: starrs had the higher ceiling Baron Corbin or Austin theory
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: Both won the US title of Money in the Bank
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: on failed cash ins and beat Legends of WrestleMania Angle
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: and Sina Uh the higher ceiling. Austin Theory had the
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: higher ceiling corbyin though you know what killed Corbin, that
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: whole king Corbin thing, and just how fucking long it
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: went on for and the antler like it was just ridiculous,
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: And then of course we had happy Corbin. Sad Corbin
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: was entertaining, but he just bounced around so many different
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: gimmicks like the ed Leslie of this generation. When really
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: I think back and the best version of Baron Corbyn
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: was the Lone Wolf, and that was his original gimmick
- 1:33:25Speaker 1: from NXT. All you had to do is just try to,
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: you know, migrate that to the main roster. So he
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: should have done more than what he did. But I
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: think Theory was the one who seemed to be kind
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: of on his way and then he just he hit
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: a wall. He hit a wall or a ceiling. Constable,
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: oh god, Constable Corbyn. Yeah, I mean again, how many
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: gimmicks did he have? Lone Wolf, Constable King, Happy, Sad,
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: then whatever it was when he was with the Wolf
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: Dogs and NXT, he had like six different characters. Yeah,
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: they do upload some of those old episodes of NXT
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: and you go back and watch, you know, Baron KORbin
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: when he was the Lone Wolf and that old music.
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: And I don't know, man, I don't know why we
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: never got to see that on the main roster. Aaron says,
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: Dan Housen would fit in the MFTs with the face paint.
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: Can we not add new members to the MFTs. I'm
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: trying to, like, will the destruction of this group into
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: existence so they can kind of just go off and
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: do their own things and you want to continue to
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: add members Alexander EO versus Oscar for custody of Kyrie
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: Ladder match Eat sleep Yeat Repeat says what's up, Solo?
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: I love watching the show. It makes my day. Well,
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: I'm happy to hear that. Thank you, brother. William Corey
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: Hayes on X Tonight hinted its EO and OSCA WrestleMania good.
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: That's what it should be, Joe Law the nineteen ninety nine.
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: Any word on the Street Profits. I know Montes has
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: has to be sick seeing Javon Evans and Trick both
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: being featured in prominent spots. Also wondering if WWE had
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: plans of throwing Gunther into Oba and Brock. I hope not,
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: and no, I doubt that very seriously. I want him
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: to have a match on the show, but he would
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: just feel shoehorned in there. There's no need for him
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: to be in there. And now there's been no word
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: on the Street Profits. I know Angelo Dawkins and his
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: wife are now expecting baby number three, so he's been
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: busy in his time off. No word on the Street Profits.
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: There was something maybe a week or so ago about
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: how they were going to possibly be worked back into
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: things soon. But it's one of those things where I'll
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: believe it when I see it. They just sort of
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: vanished base Bear as Jay Usso should have never won
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: the Rumble No yeat Thick Grosso with. In nineteen ninety nine,
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: I saw an ig video from Rebel that broke my heart.
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: She was struggling to speak. She said, her legs are numb.
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: She's having a hard time lifting her arms. She can't
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: brush her teeth, and she can't swallow her food. It's
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: so sad. Yeah, I mean she has is it lymphoma?
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: She I forgot what type of cancer it is that
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: she's suffering from. Let me see if I could. Let's
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: look it up. Yeah, it's lymphoma, primary pulmonary lymphoma, and
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: then there's another like neurological disorder. It's really affected her speech.
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: She's really had a tough go of it. I feel
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: bad for her. Boots, what's going on? Boots? Thank you
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: for the tense spot. Cornell Bryant solo trying hard not
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: to mention, to not mention his name, his name? Whose
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: name would that be? Jeremy Rose? What if Randy is
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: on the phone with himself well, that would be fucking stupid.
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: That would be very dumb. Aaron says. In the last year,
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: we've had like five mystery men, two Mystery Attackers, a
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: mystery create, two mystery phone calls Hayman and Orton, and
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: Mystery Ninja's Yeah, it's a mystery. These people make any
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: money with these wonderful ideas they come up with, It's
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: a mystery to me. They sure do love their mysteries.
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: They should write a mystery novel. Faith Bears says worse
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: Burial kofe versus Brock or Sina versus Rey kofe versus Brock,
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: San Juan Wolf the nineteen ninety nine What if Gunther
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: moves to SmackDown after WrestleMania to rekindle his rivalry with Ilia.
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: Their matches in wxwn NX team were masterpieces. I would
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: love to see what they would do on the main roster.
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: I mean realistically, if they had like television matches, not
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: to say that they wouldn't be good, but you'd have
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: like three commercial breaks. You'd see, like, you know, you'd
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: see fifty five percent of the match. I I'd love
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: to see it. I'd love to see it. You'd have
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: to educate people about their history together. But you can
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: do that, Hi Solo awesome stream tonight. There has long
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: been a rumor that Tony Kahan has wrestling journalists on
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: the payroll. Is there any truth to this? There's been
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: no evidence of it. There's definitely people who are more,
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: you know, I would say more kind of in tune
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: with that product and favorable towards that product. But like,
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: it's funny. I get comments like that sometimes, you know,
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: on both sides over the years, like oh, carrying the
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: water for Triple H Like at the beginning when he
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: was first like taking over Creative, you're on the payroll. Here,
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: you're on the pay Like, hey, I don't know where
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: all these checks are being sent, but they're certainly not
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: being sent to my address. So like, stuff like that
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: gets said all the time. There's no evidence of this.
- 1:40:24Speaker 1: People say a lot of stupid shit. Bass Beer is
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: buy er sell Blue Blazer or Stardust hmm, Blue Blazer
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: or star Dust. I didn't really like either one. I
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: liked Owen Hart as himself. I was never like a
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: big fan of the Blue Blazer character, and I will
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: never be a big fan of the Blue Blazer character
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: because I will forever associate it with Owen's death and
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: Stardust I didn't care for. Not a fan of either one.
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: And William Valencia says, solo, what's been Triple H's biggest
- 1:41:04Speaker 1: fumble thus far the New Day heel Turn, Senor retirement Tour,
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: gum through the career Killer or something else of the
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: senor retirement Tour. Yeah, I mean, this is someone that
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: you market as the greatest of all time, and so
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: you would think the greatest of all time would be
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: befitting of the greatest retirement tour, especially given that you
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: had six months to plan it all out and we
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: got some cool moments. But to look back at it
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: from start to finish and see what was done, I
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: think underwhelming is being kind and I think that should
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: have been such a slam dunk, and the fact that
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: it wasn't, I think is a real indictment on him
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: and the planning that went into it, and him taking
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: credit for the heel turn which ended up being a
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: complete fumble. Hey, he wants to take credit for it,
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: go ahead, we know who to blame, we know whose
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: idea it was. M hmm. Owen's death is such a
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: stain on that company. Yeah, it will forever be It
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: never should have happened. The goal tonight though, was four
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: what was it four fifty or four seventy five, four
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: seventy five. Yeah, we've already uh blasted through that. We're
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: actually closing in on six hundred. Oh well, we hit
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: the you know what, I didn't even see we hit
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: the bonus goal. Yeah. Wow, we hit both goals. Okay,
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: that's good. You know why because that means that we
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: get two rounds of Be the Booker instead of one.
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: I like it. I like that a lot time to
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: be the Booker. Did not even notice that. I was
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: so into what you guys were saying. I was looking
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: to the super chats. I didn't even look at that.
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: All right, Well, it's kind of appropriate. We have two
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: Knights of WrestleMania coming up, so we have two nights
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: of be the Booker here, two nights and one. Choose
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: two single stars and make a makeshift team. I sound
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: like I'm in a WWE creative meeting. We have Damian
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: Priest and Our Truth as the tag team champions right
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: now on SmackDown, which I will accept because it is
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: not the MFTs. All right, let's pick two stars, two
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: single stars. We got to make a tag team. Oh,
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: we have the reigning AW World Heavyweight Champion MJF. He's
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: going to be in a tag team. Wouldn't it be
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: something if we landed on Adam Cole. Live Morgan gives
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: you her room key. Now pick a stipy. Okay, well
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: I'm confused. Now hold on a second, we were Hold on,
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: this is getting very complicated. Now. I just wanted to
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: book a tag team match, and somehow I ended up
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: in Live Morgan's hotel room. How did we get here?
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: How did we get here? I feel like we have
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: veered off course. So we are supposed to be picking
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: a makeshift tag team. Okay, so before we can do that,
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: we have to now pick a stipulation for the tag
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: team match. All right, I need you guys to keep
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: score here. Oh my god. Okay, it's I for an eye.
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: So we have the first ever I for an EE
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: tag team match. Because we are still doing a tag
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: team match, but now we have to pick a partner
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: for MJF mister Brody Lee, the former TNT champion. MJF
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: and Brody Lee. I'll tell you what as tag teams go,
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: it's a pretty good team. That is a pretty good
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: team there. They will be facing Chris Hero and Claudio
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: Castignoli be Kings of Wrestling. Wow, that's a great tag
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: team match, except that it's eye for an eye. So
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: somebody is going to lose an eye. Who's losing an
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: eye in this match? You know, it's kind of weird.
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: I'm looking at this. Claudia looks exactly the same. Chris
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: Hero looks very young in this image, but Claudio just
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: looks the same to me. Hell of a match, that is,
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: all right, women's time. We have the Kanna, the murder clown.
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: He's going to be ah another stipulation. It's going to
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: be a triple threat match. J F could pull could
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: pull off the heel eye patch gimmick. Okay, MJF loses
- 1:46:34Speaker 1: an eye. I don't know that that's gonna be good
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: for his Hollywood aspirations though. All right, well we got Kana,
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: but we got to pick two more people. I think
- 1:46:46Speaker 1: we should land on Kyrie saying and EO Sky That's
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: what I think. Ruby, Riot boy, she's been out for
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: a long time, hasn't she. We have Kana, we have Ruby,
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: and we have Athena and Athena and Kanna in the
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: same match. We're putting together some bankers here tonight. I
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: like it. I like it. We're still we're still on
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: night one. All right, Here we go our main event
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: r v D. Here we go Rob Van Damn in
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: the main event. Don't tell Triple H. He'll boot him
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: out so fast. It will be r VD against mister
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: Iguana in the main event of b the booker Mania.
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: That is a lot of smoke. I mean, we know
- 1:48:01Speaker 1: that RVD likes a good smoke. And then if you
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: don't know the origins of the myster Iguana name, you
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: can look it up. I think those two would actually
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: get along very well. Actually, they would probably make a
- 1:48:11Speaker 1: really good tag team. But that is not a main
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: event that I care to see. That ruined what would
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: have been a perfectly good like a clean sweep of
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: a perfectly good card here for Night one. The good
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: thing is we have another round because you hit the
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: bonus goal. Yes, I feel like we just picked a
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: whole bunch of stipulations. Now we gotta pick more last
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: man standing. Well, then, I guess we're doing the men's
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: match first, aren't we? Last man standing? Ricky the Dragon Steamboat.
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: Imagine having to put all that shit in your mouth
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: just to blow it so you get the flames. Last
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: man Standing Ricky the Dragon Steamboat against the American Nightmare
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes. Wow. Wow, that'd be a great match. All right,
- 1:49:39Speaker 1: there you go. How about that code. We're starting out
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: with Cody and Steamboat in a last man Standing match.
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: Full Metal Mayhem. Oh man, these women, it's going to
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: be a bad night. People are going to get hurt.
- 1:49:59Speaker 1: People are going to get her hurt. I can see it. Now.
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: We have to pick five women, five women for Full
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: Metal Mayhem. We have Sasha Banks. Okay, that's a great start.
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: We have Eo Sky. This is this is getting real
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: good now. I like where this is going. Sasha Eo
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: Oh my god. Okay, well, full Metal Mayhem is out.
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: We are going to now have a triple threat match.
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. We're already two thirds in and
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: we only need one more name. This is already a
- 1:50:48Speaker 1: hell of a triple threat match. Sasha, EO and Nikita Lions. Well,
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: look we got Sasha and Eo in the same match, right,
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: that's great. Double power bomb puts Nikita through the announced.
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: That'sk for a good chunk of the match. Where is
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: she anyway? She an evolved. I haven't seen her on
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: television in a very long time. I feel like she's
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: probably an evolved m Sasha and EO make the match epic.
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: Oh they would, It would be an epic match. M
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: LFG can't be an FG. Oh anyway, it's distracted there.
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: All right, we have one more match. We have a
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: tag team matched book. Ow she got demoted to LFG. Oh, wow,
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: that's right. That's bad. That is bad. But hey, hopefully
- 1:52:20Speaker 1: she is improving. All right, we have a table match.
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: We're gonna have a tag team table match. We're gonna
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: keep it very simple here. Tag team table match with
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: the Rockers Shawn Michaels and Marty Jeannetti. Okay, very good,
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: Shawn Michael and Marty Jeannetti against the Toxic Turtles in
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: a tables match. The Toxic Turtles. Yes, this was a
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: real team, believe it or not. And so ends round
- 1:53:26Speaker 1: number two. We were close to man the Rockers in
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: a tables match. Of all the teams that we can
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: land it on. The Heart Foundation Demolition, the the Hardy
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: Boy There there we go, the Hardy Boys. There's like
- 1:53:43Speaker 1: solo inception here. All the teams you could have landed on,
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: we end up on the Turtles. Those demn Turtles, all right,
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: get them on it. If you got any final super
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: chats here, we got all bunch of them that we
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: got to get to here, mactub. Mactub says a Rock
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: at one and two equals best back to back WrestleMania
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: matches by a wrestler. Oh, I don't know. I'd have
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: to go back up in the memory bank of forty
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: years of WrestleMania, but that was a pretty incredible back
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: to back streak he had there, from Austin and one
- 1:54:28Speaker 1: to the Hogan match in O two, which, as far
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, is a five star match. You won't
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: find many back to backs better than that. Sean Michaels
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: would have to be in that conversation, though, you know
- 1:54:41Speaker 1: for for nine and twenty ten, for sure, even Cody,
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: you know, thirty nine and forty, Jeremy Rose, gunther Omas, WrestleMania,
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: no link Master act. Who would you like to see
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: host WrestleMania? I picked Skip Bayless, I picked Dan Hausen.
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: No more outside people, they have enough of those. Cameron
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: Spencer Hypothetically speaking, if Obo wasn't facing Brock at Mania,
- 1:55:17Speaker 1: would you rather see him face Omas or Lars Sullivan
- 1:55:21Speaker 1: in a meaty big man match? Omas mac Tubs's final boss.
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: Rock doesn't get enough credit in my opinion, And he
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: got credit for the one WrestleMania where he was a
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: key character and what else do you want to give
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: him credit for. He didn't do anything else help save
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: that one Mania and that was that was it? Goodbye.
- 1:55:49Speaker 1: Devin says, did ciam Punk ultimately fail in his decade
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: long quest to stick it to w W WEE then
- 1:55:56Speaker 1: he could be a big star without them after he
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: quit in twenty fourteen? I mean, was that his quest?
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: I don't know that was his quest. He knew he
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: could be a big star for them, and then he's
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: the one who opted to sit out for seven years,
- 1:56:15Speaker 1: so that was his choice. It's not like he went
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: somewhere else in the immediate aftermath of leaving and then failed.
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: Even for the brief period of time that he was
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: in AW. I mean he was up until he flamed
- 1:56:29Speaker 1: out there with everything that happened, he was a pretty
- 1:56:31Speaker 1: big success for them. Joe Law, do you think the
- 1:56:37Speaker 1: usso's turn on Roman at Mania. It seems like Priest
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: is also the male Charlotte flair, where you have to
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: pair him with a fan favorite to heat him up.
- 1:56:47Speaker 1: Right now, That's exactly what they're doing with him. As
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: far as do the usso's turn on Roman at Mania,
- 1:56:57Speaker 1: I don't know right now. I'd say no, we have
- 1:56:59Speaker 1: to let the story play out and get a little
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: bit closer. I don't feel that right now. And the
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: Misfit Wrestling podcast, Eo Sky uploaded a video on her
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: Instagram stating that after her Raquel match, she will focus
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: on the Kyrie Oscar situation, meaning EO versus Oscar is
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: going to be the match for Mania. Well good, I'm
- 1:57:22Speaker 1: glad we got that settled. That's the best thing you
- 1:57:25Speaker 1: could do with EO. She's not going to be wrestling
- 1:57:27Speaker 1: for a championship. Give us that EO and Oscar match
- 1:57:30Speaker 1: and give us a payoff to this whole Oscar Kyrie thing.
- 1:57:37Speaker 1: What is an underrated WrestleMania main event? Sasha Banks and
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: Bianca Belair. You know what, there aren't very many that
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: are underrated. They're rated pretty accurately. Hogan Andrea, Wrestle Media
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: three is such a hard one because like as a match,
- 1:58:00Speaker 1: it sucked, but I mean in terms of, like if
- 1:58:05Speaker 1: you watch it for the drama of like the near
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: falls and the big moves, what the WrestleMania made event
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: has ultimately become over the years, it sucked, and it
- 1:58:16Speaker 1: sucks seeing Andre clearly in pain and barely able to move.
- 1:58:21Speaker 1: But that's a match that I still feel like maybe
- 1:58:23Speaker 1: doesn't get enough credit because that match is just built
- 1:58:27Speaker 1: on pure drama. You know, it's it's David and I
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: mean as big as Hogan was. I mean it was
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: David and Goliath, and it all built to the body slam.
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: And when he hit that slam, that's people ask me, like,
- 1:58:39Speaker 1: if there's one moment in time that if you could
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: be at a show, what show would you be at?
- 1:58:44Speaker 1: And it would be that show for that moment to
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: be in the crowd when he picked him up over
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: his head and he slammed, and everybody stands up and
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: he picks up the giant and he slams him. It
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: all built to that moment. So I think people on
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: it without necessarily giving it the respect it deserves for
- 1:59:04Speaker 1: what it was meant to be, if that makes sense.
- 1:59:08Speaker 1: But like the other many of main events, Like I said,
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: they're pretty well, I think rated in terms of the
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: first ten and then you get into like eleven to twenty.
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: I've commented that I think the Brett Shawn Ironman match
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: is overrated. It's not a bad match, but it's overrated.
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: Undertaker and said that sucked Austin and Shawn Michaels I
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: didn't like it. I didn't. I know Austin didn't like it.
- 1:59:37Speaker 1: I didn't like it. You know what, I'll give you one,
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: Austin Rock WrestleMania fifteen. Everybody talks about WrestleMania seventeen. Everybody
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: talks about WrestleMania in nineteen because it was Austin's last
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: match and Rock finally beat him. I like fifteen. I
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: do like I like the match of fifteen, and I
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: actually feel like that one's underrated. Miss Versus Sena. Okay, Paul,
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to escort you out of the building.
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: I'm gonna escort you out of the building. I'm gonna

- 2:00:17Speaker 1: Sena the worst WrestleMania made event of all time. Well,
