[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you're here to save the business.

01:36.442 --> 01:41.309
[SPEAKER_00]: You're here to remind us of a time long ago.

01:41.950 --> 01:47.499
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're here to basically say that this show ain't shit without you, essentially.

01:47.939 --> 01:54.950
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, if people aren't paying money for this, like they did back in the Patriot on days, I mean, come on, what are we doing here?

01:55.270 --> 01:56.171
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Kila Cash.

01:56.412 --> 02:02.040
[SPEAKER_01]: We should be, Kila Cash is here, you should be paying.

02:02.695 --> 02:04.761
[SPEAKER_00]: We should be put behind a paywall.

02:05.082 --> 02:05.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

02:06.245 --> 02:10.296
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go back to the ancient text of how things used to be.

02:10.316 --> 02:12.302
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what you look cash, everybody.

02:12.863 --> 02:16.233
[SPEAKER_01]: There shouldn't be any free viewing or listening.

02:16.774 --> 02:17.717
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

02:17.697 --> 02:22.242
[SPEAKER_00]: It should be like a five minute preview and then we go off there and see you must pay for the rest.

02:22.562 --> 02:24.664
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, treat you like ESPN next weekend.

02:24.945 --> 02:28.628
[SPEAKER_00]: You get one hour for free and then we got to take you to our limited baby.

02:28.648 --> 02:34.775
[SPEAKER_01]: Right on the other day, when we had John Moch, fully on with garrick on Zollets and we had Dave Meltzer doing Q and A's.

02:35.976 --> 02:39.540
[SPEAKER_01]: Just back in the, what, I mean, back in those days, what?

02:41.742 --> 02:43.043
[SPEAKER_00]: You are a mess.

02:43.484 --> 02:44.565
[SPEAKER_00]: I love you.

02:44.798 --> 02:48.884
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're here live and we got people in the Czech curry had is already here.

02:49.365 --> 03:04.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, hello, hello, hello and the first question off top is, is it just me, but WWE championship should not mean a midnight one, but Brock versus Oprah should based on how the show ended tonight.

03:04.947 --> 03:11.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that Randy and Cody have been replaced for the night one main event.

03:12.160 --> 03:15.686
[SPEAKER_00]: I do believe that and they should after what happened on Friday.

03:16.167 --> 03:21.977
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened on Friday that cannot main event night one of us, Amania, that can be a great opener.

03:21.957 --> 03:22.718
[SPEAKER_00]: I tell you that.

03:22.758 --> 03:33.274
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're trying to promote Pat McFeed on your network and you want to tease people in for the rest of WrestleMania on the unlimited app, then you put that match first.

03:33.655 --> 03:37.421
[SPEAKER_00]: You put as many eyeballs as you can for the opening match.

03:37.801 --> 03:38.702
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what you need to do.

03:38.983 --> 03:39.404
[SPEAKER_00]: Do that.

03:39.464 --> 03:46.294
[SPEAKER_00]: Because for me, we had that ship pass on Friday after what we saw on SmackDown.

03:46.814 --> 03:47.175
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:47.275 --> 03:48.196
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I agree.

03:48.356 --> 03:57.530
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not even, I mean, they'll spin it in a way that it's actually not a emotion, but it's actually, you know, it's going to be on ESPN.

03:57.570 --> 03:58.471
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's more important.

03:58.992 --> 04:03.739
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, like, even though, you know, obviously a WrestleMania main event is more important.

04:03.759 --> 04:15.657
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they can do something and maybe even do something with punk since he referenced Pat McAfee and his problem, or maybe he shows up at some point and gets into it with McAfee.

04:16.058 --> 04:21.746
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the punk and Roman match on ESPN, but yeah, I, I would do that.

04:21.946 --> 04:23.288
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I don't know if they will.

04:23.548 --> 04:24.489
[SPEAKER_01]: But I would for sure.

04:25.491 --> 04:25.871
[SPEAKER_00]: I would.

04:26.272 --> 04:33.902
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we will know the answer regarding the cards tomorrow during get up on ESPN around 9 35 Eastern AM.

04:34.323 --> 04:36.946
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to know the night one and night two cards.

04:37.167 --> 04:39.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Now what we're close each night.

04:39.770 --> 04:41.172
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully we'll know for sure.

04:41.152 --> 04:43.375
[SPEAKER_00]: It should be over and Brock.

04:43.395 --> 04:46.759
[SPEAKER_00]: We now get a feel for what will be the most important match for night one.

04:47.240 --> 04:50.504
[SPEAKER_00]: That one for me how it ended tonight being in the main event spot.

04:50.765 --> 05:00.257
[SPEAKER_00]: Having Paul Vivek out there says everything there is to say about what he thinks should be that night one main event match of WrestleMania because it ain't.

05:00.237 --> 05:03.404
[SPEAKER_00]: Orton and Cody, because if it was, he would be out there.

05:03.424 --> 05:05.228
[SPEAKER_00]: We're budding Pat McFey.

05:05.268 --> 05:09.538
[SPEAKER_00]: He would be out there saying, hey, what he said last week on my show was in cool.

05:10.159 --> 05:12.805
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to dive into all of that in just a moment.

05:12.845 --> 05:15.411
[SPEAKER_00]: But absolutely, I do think the open and rock.

05:15.391 --> 05:24.265
[SPEAKER_00]: have earned the right to main event night one of WrestleMania, but we won't know for sure until the cards are completely released, hopefully, by tomorrow morning.

05:24.305 --> 05:28.091
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to shut up from Nando, who is here as well.

05:28.131 --> 05:40.791
[SPEAKER_00]: He agrees with Kerry had saying that Oba and Lesnar should main event night one over, Orton and Cody next Saturday, as we are in the

05:40.771 --> 05:41.492
[SPEAKER_01]: We are.

05:41.512 --> 05:44.397
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't say like it's not coding.

05:44.837 --> 05:48.303
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's not ruined for me, but I mean, it definitely didn't help.

05:50.146 --> 05:59.861
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and it was, you know, a very, it was a real leg down in terms of, you know, what the, you know, who's on the phone as far as a hook went.

06:00.822 --> 06:07.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially since like they didn't even advertise, you know, in some way they would have said, okay, we're going to find out who's on the phone, you know, like kind of thing.

06:07.713 --> 06:09.175
[SPEAKER_01]: It just kind of happened.

06:09.155 --> 06:15.805
[SPEAKER_01]: and it was like, okay, like number one, it was a terrible reveal and number two, they didn't even promote it.

06:15.965 --> 06:18.128
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe that's why they didn't promote it.

06:18.869 --> 06:38.959
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like even with the general man, you know, the the the raw general manager, the anonymous general manager, well, you know, that we found out was, you know, whatever that was, or Vince's, Vince's kid, you know, though all these really bad reveals, at least they promoted when we were going to get the reveal.

06:41.977 --> 06:47.366
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I just want to know a very important question, what were your family?

06:47.706 --> 06:49.209
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't Pat McAfee come from?

06:49.249 --> 06:53.536
[SPEAKER_00]: What were your family or MacAfee's?

06:54.217 --> 06:56.380
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you see, Kyla.

06:56.801 --> 06:58.584
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not Pat's royal family.

06:58.624 --> 07:02.691
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Orton's and Pat had to remind him that he comes from a royal family.

07:02.711 --> 07:07.258
[SPEAKER_01]: You see,

07:07.238 --> 07:25.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, you need to get away from road dogs co-pilot AI that is unnecessary and now I need to stop people from like lionizing road dog like that's what we're not going to do he was a part of the problem no we're not going to say he was

07:26.037 --> 07:27.999
[SPEAKER_00]: just don't know the bus.

07:28.219 --> 07:29.020
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to do that.

07:29.741 --> 07:32.664
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to rewrite history and say he's innocent, never.

07:32.704 --> 07:33.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.

07:34.345 --> 07:42.513
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, this and to be honest, like this was from all indication, this was not even this way above road docs pay scale.

07:42.693 --> 07:45.937
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, this this was this was coming from the top down.

07:45.997 --> 07:47.618
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what to say about shit rolling downhill.

07:48.099 --> 07:49.100
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what this was.

07:49.880 --> 07:50.181
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

07:50.901 --> 07:52.483
[SPEAKER_01]: I got an idea of Paul.

07:53.189 --> 07:55.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, are you sure Nick?

07:55.493 --> 08:01.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm getting right from are you sure?

08:01.042 --> 08:03.366
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it.

08:04.047 --> 08:04.588
[SPEAKER_01]: The brand.

08:04.689 --> 08:05.270
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get him in.

08:06.993 --> 08:08.195
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want nothing to do with this.

08:08.615 --> 08:09.036
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.

08:09.056 --> 08:09.417
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.

08:09.617 --> 08:10.038
[SPEAKER_01]: Just do it.

08:12.722 --> 08:16.108
[SPEAKER_00]: This is probably how that conversation went.

08:16.274 --> 08:19.360
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and now they're trying to bury it with.

08:19.380 --> 08:21.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's crazy.

08:21.884 --> 08:23.127
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about that, too.

08:23.547 --> 08:24.589
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I can't wait.

08:24.970 --> 08:27.174
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to dive into it because Lord hammer.

08:27.194 --> 08:32.123
[SPEAKER_00]: See, I've never seen damage control done on this level to bury an angle.

08:32.103 --> 08:43.700
[SPEAKER_00]: and to see how far they're going to go to bury it on television on Friday and then next week as well heading into WrestleMania because good Lord, the buyers were Morris was quick and swift on Friday and even tonight as well.

08:44.241 --> 08:47.205
[SPEAKER_00]: And then a fando for Scott, he dodged a bullet.

08:47.485 --> 08:49.208
[SPEAKER_00]: No, Jericho wax return.

08:50.209 --> 08:50.470
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

08:51.231 --> 08:52.573
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they did not happen.

08:52.913 --> 09:01.806
[SPEAKER_01]: He's Tony God's problem now.

09:01.887 --> 09:03.028
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what?

09:03.369 --> 09:06.952
[SPEAKER_00]: I turned on the TV and I thought, is there a Viking issue?

09:07.273 --> 09:12.058
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that was the most least enthusiastic welcome back I've ever heard for a star.

09:12.398 --> 09:14.020
[SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty loud in the building.

09:14.060 --> 09:15.301
[SPEAKER_01]: It just went on too long.

09:15.662 --> 09:16.002
[SPEAKER_01]: It went on.

09:16.423 --> 09:23.690
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, there was people like the gentleman I was with who is like, Papa, who is Jericho?

09:26.694 --> 09:29.937
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't explain it if you don't know.

09:30.153 --> 09:32.577
[SPEAKER_01]: But he was dancing to the music, so there was that.

09:38.285 --> 09:38.405
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

09:38.426 --> 09:42.772
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so I was reading the chat a little bit, and we're talking about the peak.

09:43.573 --> 09:44.034
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

09:44.435 --> 09:49.663
[SPEAKER_00]: And we've peaked, and the question is, when do we peak in the fall?

09:50.684 --> 09:53.488
[SPEAKER_00]: And it seems like it could have been WrestleMania 40, two years ago.

09:54.229 --> 09:57.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it seen as retirement show, last December?

09:58.132 --> 10:01.416
[SPEAKER_00]: Where is the peak and what do you think that cliff is coming from?

10:01.456 --> 10:06.501
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, I'm the one that said it was a scene of retirement show.

10:06.521 --> 10:15.010
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the year they got to have seen a kind of help raise the peak a little bit because I mean, they did an incredible business last year.

10:15.431 --> 10:25.101
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're talking creatively, I mean, honestly, the peak might have been when

10:25.857 --> 10:36.969
[SPEAKER_01]: like that, that might have been the peak creatively, um, you know, and it wasn't like a complete downhill from there, but if you're talking business wise, I think it was the senior retirement show.

10:36.989 --> 10:41.034
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not exactly sure, Korea's question, uh, you know, which he meant.

10:41.735 --> 10:55.290
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think like it's never felt as hot as it did that day when Sammy hit Roman with the chair in my opinion.

10:55.642 --> 11:00.420
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say that the peak was probably WrestleMania 40.

11:00.873 --> 11:02.295
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, is that when Cody?

11:02.636 --> 11:03.197
[SPEAKER_00]: Nope.

11:03.217 --> 11:04.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's anyone.

11:04.479 --> 11:04.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

11:04.739 --> 11:09.567
[SPEAKER_00]: We all got the happy ending and it was like, if it like peak WWE, we've hit it.

11:09.587 --> 11:10.408
[SPEAKER_00]: We arrived.

11:10.508 --> 11:11.409
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the best.

11:11.429 --> 11:13.673
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be for a long time.

11:13.713 --> 11:15.276
[SPEAKER_00]: They're wrote the wave in 2024.

11:16.157 --> 11:23.388
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say things started to plateau in 2025, especially with the last year's WrestleMania.

11:23.408 --> 11:26.573
[SPEAKER_00]: They recovered for the tail end of scene as retirement tour.

11:27.174 --> 11:28.416
[SPEAKER_00]: But I

11:28.818 --> 11:30.420
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is WrestleMania.

11:30.940 --> 11:37.707
[SPEAKER_00]: The build of it, of course, I think they were saved themselves with the card.

11:38.408 --> 11:40.230
[SPEAKER_00]: If it's booked competently.

11:41.812 --> 11:47.758
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like I actually think like the like they've done a pretty good job with with most of it.

11:48.439 --> 11:57.508
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just that like that Cody Roman thing like I don't know man like when they first booked it I was like and then I was really into it when Randy turned.

11:58.163 --> 12:04.714
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, like the, the angle last week, just, I mean, it didn't, didn't do anything.

12:04.734 --> 12:08.441
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I'm like, you know, Roman and punk is kind of heating up again.

12:08.481 --> 12:09.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Open Brock is hot.

12:10.544 --> 12:12.848
[SPEAKER_01]: Becky and AJ feels pretty hot.

12:13.317 --> 12:16.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, the Jade and Rhea did a great angle tonight.

12:16.561 --> 12:21.508
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, um, you know, and then there's a few other matches that, you know, they've been fine.

12:22.009 --> 12:24.592
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, not, you know, not bad, not, you know.

12:24.953 --> 12:32.643
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think like in terms of the actual build for the card, like it's, it's been, like, it's been all right.

12:33.024 --> 12:33.705
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, you're right.

12:33.725 --> 12:36.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if the card itself delivers, like we talked about this last week too.

12:37.270 --> 12:41.215
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if the card itself delivers and are people in or remember the builds, I don't know.

12:41.752 --> 12:42.553
[SPEAKER_00]: They won't.

12:42.733 --> 12:43.153
[SPEAKER_00]: They won't.

12:43.274 --> 12:59.530
[SPEAKER_00]: If the crowd cares enough just about the matches themselves and does not like going to the business for themselves regarding the booking of it all and who you who your faves and who you're tired of if they just go in with vibes only then we should be fine.

13:00.070 --> 13:10.881
[SPEAKER_00]: My concern becomes of course when you see the matches before you how do you react based on this storytelling based on the booking and promotion of things that will affect the heat in some cases for sure.

13:10.861 --> 13:20.572
[SPEAKER_00]: But based on a Houston crowd, I think they were hot for a lot of stuff on tonight's show, which is encouraging heading into the Go Home Show and ultimately WrestleMania night one and two.

13:21.173 --> 13:31.024
[SPEAKER_00]: But I feel as if the card itself has to deliver it must after everything we've gone through because we've been through a lot.

13:31.645 --> 13:40.075
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the biggest thing is the over-analyzing

13:40.055 --> 13:48.009
[SPEAKER_00]: and the panic button they've hit for whatever reason to think they need an outsider to promote two guys who've known each other for over 20 years.

13:48.370 --> 13:55.162
[SPEAKER_00]: The story rice itself don't over complicated but for some reason they had to muddy this up with Pat McAfee.

13:55.523 --> 13:57.747
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the Travis Scott of this just WrestleMania.

13:58.068 --> 14:02.215
[SPEAKER_00]: We do not need you at all to respect, but here we are nonetheless.

14:02.971 --> 14:15.922
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, and the fact is, you know, like he does have a history with the company and I do like I see why they're using him, I do question, you know, the idea of making him a heal, not that he's not a good heal.

14:16.103 --> 14:19.090
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I remember his NXT run, he was great.

14:19.070 --> 14:36.847
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, it's just the thing is like this promo that he cut on Friday was more like what he would have cut in NXT and it would have fit way better, you know, back what was that 2019, um, you know, and, and the, you know, what he was talking about, you know, the 5 foot 5 guys doing Iron Man matches everything.

14:36.867 --> 14:41.591
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that was NXT and it was a heel and I mean, you know, he's full of shit.

14:42.072 --> 14:43.253
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the heat, right?

14:43.373 --> 14:45.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I mean, but here it's like,

14:45.395 --> 14:46.497
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't even make sense.

14:47.017 --> 14:53.327
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's hard to even hate him because you just feel like this guy's off his rocker.

14:54.068 --> 15:04.102
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, and he's talking about the attitude era when Randy Orton was like five years after the attitude era, like what is he talking about?

15:04.843 --> 15:07.728
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's like you just lost.

15:08.148 --> 15:14.237
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, but at the end of the day, like lady bees comment there, like I've seen this idea and it's a great idea.

15:14.217 --> 15:32.327
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if this ends with Stone Cold Steve Austin getting Pat McVee with a stunner, then yeah, we're going to forget this awful promo and that'll be what everybody remembers and that'll be the clip that gets replayed and paddle sell it like a million bucks like you did the last time I was there and, you know, and you know, it'll be fun.

15:33.202 --> 15:40.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if Steve wants to lead us for our babies, which he's willing to do for WWE World, can he part with him for more than a day?

15:40.310 --> 15:41.731
[SPEAKER_00]: We shot definitely.

15:41.771 --> 15:43.433
[SPEAKER_00]: See, he's going to be in a big, sure.

15:43.473 --> 15:47.518
[SPEAKER_00]: Money talks, listen, that Saudi money talks for next year's WrestleMania.

15:47.938 --> 15:52.443
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're going there, so it's going to talk very loudly for him and we'll see for sure.

15:52.483 --> 15:58.770
[SPEAKER_00]: And it needs to happen because nothing that Pat McAfee said on SmackDown made a lick of sense.

15:59.307 --> 16:01.693
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, no, no, not at all.

16:01.773 --> 16:08.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, I can't even, I mean, it got heat, but it's more like, yeah, for a while.

16:08.570 --> 16:10.895
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, then it, you know, I think you just kind of lost it.

16:10.916 --> 16:12.760
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, people were like,

16:13.178 --> 16:15.301
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, I mean, people were talking about it.

16:15.401 --> 16:18.004
[SPEAKER_01]: And at the end of the day, I think that's all TK was even cares about.

16:18.525 --> 16:19.746
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that all the attention it got?

16:20.207 --> 16:22.129
[SPEAKER_01]: Whether that was good or bad, they don't care.

16:22.169 --> 16:23.912
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just people are talking.

16:24.292 --> 16:25.794
[SPEAKER_01]: And impressions are up.

16:25.814 --> 16:31.461
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm sure they'll point to, you know, like, oh, you know, 50 million people watch the YouTube clip or something.

16:31.481 --> 16:34.545
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it is got a record number of thumbs down.

16:34.525 --> 16:37.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, but it's engagement engagement.

16:37.809 --> 16:38.971
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all the matters, which is true.

16:39.452 --> 16:40.954
[SPEAKER_01]: And that one happened about J.

16:40.974 --> 16:42.335
[SPEAKER_01]: So pin Roman or something.

16:42.355 --> 16:45.880
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was like the number of, yeah, thumbs down happen again.

16:45.940 --> 16:51.648
[SPEAKER_00]: But of course, you have translate that to live crowds and how they truly react in real time.

16:51.708 --> 16:54.912
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the true barometer of how things are in WWE.

16:54.952 --> 16:57.616
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's going to have massive heat for the next couple of weeks.

16:57.716 --> 16:58.677
[SPEAKER_01]: Like for sure.

16:58.758 --> 17:00.762
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like, I mean, there's no question about that.

17:01.022 --> 17:03.687
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, will it help Randy get booed?

17:03.727 --> 17:07.734
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, because they were, I mean, the fact is the problem is this was in the St. Louis.

17:08.295 --> 17:11.862
[SPEAKER_01]: So no matter what they did, they were still going to cheer Randy and they still did.

17:11.902 --> 17:13.565
[SPEAKER_01]: And they still booed Cody.

17:13.665 --> 17:16.330
[SPEAKER_01]: He came out at the end and he got a baby face problem on they boot him.

17:17.011 --> 17:20.577
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, whether they do that again this week in, I think they're in San Jose.

17:21.058 --> 17:21.439
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

17:22.180 --> 17:23.803
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably not, but we'll see.

17:25.100 --> 17:27.604
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so me a big test of rainy is going to get booed.

17:27.644 --> 17:28.525
[SPEAKER_01]: They melt for there.

17:28.545 --> 17:29.066
[SPEAKER_01]: They won't boo.

17:32.010 --> 17:34.293
[SPEAKER_01]: You mean the front row like you was for Dynamite, I doubt it.

17:34.974 --> 17:36.516
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't see it either.

17:36.536 --> 17:37.297
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a way of hand.

17:39.761 --> 17:41.303
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, even Jeremy's standing up.

17:43.065 --> 17:44.347
[SPEAKER_01]: Taking selfies with the wrestlers.

17:46.991 --> 17:48.373
[SPEAKER_00]: That will not be happening.

17:48.674 --> 17:50.736
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't think it would not be happening.

17:50.776 --> 17:52.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Spoiler alert, that would not happen.

17:52.337 --> 17:58.042
[SPEAKER_00]: Paddle give Davis spear if he's using them.

17:58.062 --> 18:18.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

18:18.020 --> 18:20.383
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that was not what he was talking about.

18:20.403 --> 18:35.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I can assure you, but before we get into last and last episode of Monday and I raw, let's talk about NXT and have to say like pretty deadly does stand and deliver from this past Saturday from St. Louis, Missouri.

18:36.104 --> 18:43.253
[SPEAKER_00]: So I walked into the show thinking on paper, this could be a fun three hour show and I was right.

18:43.814 --> 18:47.098
[SPEAKER_00]: My only issue

18:47.602 --> 18:49.384
[SPEAKER_00]: setting crowd.

18:50.226 --> 18:55.192
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not love the setting and I know they want it to remove themselves from WrestleMania weekend.

18:55.212 --> 18:57.235
[SPEAKER_00]: I totally understand that.

18:58.637 --> 19:06.888
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a benefit to that because people will actually buy tickets to see your show on Saturday even if it's in the morning.

19:06.928 --> 19:14.959
[SPEAKER_00]: They will go to arena because they are there and then want to see like a little WrestleMania appetizer via your show, they will come.

19:14.939 --> 19:22.108
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think that need a restructured the weekend itself and maybe start things off on the Thursday versus Saturday morning, moving forward.

19:22.269 --> 19:29.698
[SPEAKER_00]: Or if you're going to do this next year, you need to move it to a mid-size arena with more people with better lighting to just up the atmosphere.

19:29.738 --> 19:31.240
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your biggest show of the year.

19:31.381 --> 19:37.609
[SPEAKER_00]: If this is basically your WrestleMania, it needs to feel like it in terms of presentation and energy.

19:37.789 --> 19:44.558
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like despite the work I saw,

19:44.538 --> 19:54.332
[SPEAKER_00]: I just didn't fill it and I felt like, yeah, maybe we do, maybe we do need to just, you know, hitch this to WrestleMania weekend because the crowds will come.

19:54.372 --> 19:55.634
[SPEAKER_00]: They will pay tickets.

19:55.754 --> 19:56.535
[SPEAKER_00]: They will show up.

19:57.837 --> 20:08.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I didn't really think about that when I was watching it, but I totally, I see what you're saying and I agree, you know, like it, I don't know why didn't see what the crowd total was.

20:08.732 --> 20:13.178
[SPEAKER_01]: It

20:13.158 --> 20:19.151
[SPEAKER_01]: And it wasn't, if I recall correctly, the atmosphere wasn't that great for the TV then either.

20:19.171 --> 20:24.964
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that was a show they built around Randy Orton and they had Randy Orton and Javan Evans in a match.

20:25.064 --> 20:28.011
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they were teaming or if they were wrestling against each other in the main event.

20:28.031 --> 20:30.897
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a couple of years ago, one of those nights when they went head to head with dynamite.

20:31.383 --> 20:39.897
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but the, um, yeah, I mean, they sold, I think, I remember, uh, Phil Delphia, I think they sold like 11,000 tickets.

20:40.038 --> 20:40.458
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

20:40.478 --> 20:41.821
[SPEAKER_01]: To Lucas Center.

20:42.241 --> 20:43.263
[SPEAKER_01]: That was called at the time.

20:44.145 --> 20:45.206
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, Vegas.

20:45.767 --> 20:47.370
[SPEAKER_01]: See, it'd be a tough sell in Vegas.

20:47.390 --> 20:50.475
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I mean, you're talking, they probably, I'm going to start that show at like 10 o'clock in the morning.

20:50.495 --> 20:51.838
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they did that last year, right?

20:52.058 --> 20:52.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

20:52.739 --> 20:54.823
[SPEAKER_01]: And they only got 5,000 at crowd.

20:54.863 --> 20:56.125
[SPEAKER_01]: I think was dead.

20:56.223 --> 20:59.546
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and so that, you know, you don't want that either.

21:00.307 --> 21:04.711
[SPEAKER_01]: I think like they should have ran, you know, and I guess it's timing with the main roster, you know, like that.

21:04.731 --> 21:08.394
[SPEAKER_01]: But that building may ran for this past week's TV.

21:08.514 --> 21:10.536
[SPEAKER_01]: I think would have been a better venue.

21:10.556 --> 21:23.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like the, the, the, what is it called the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the

21:23.948 --> 21:26.373
[SPEAKER_01]: With a loud crowd like it would have been good.

21:26.874 --> 21:36.174
[SPEAKER_01]: That said, I thought the show itself was, you know, like in-ring and booking and everything like that's like the best WB show I've seen in a long time.

21:36.535 --> 21:42.447
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, you know, this kind of took you back to take over's minus the hot crowds.

21:42.427 --> 22:00.553
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and, and, but I mean, it was there was nothing short of very good on the show and, you know, even the pre show match was, you know, a lot of fun and a good match and and all the all the main card matches were they either delivered or over delivered, I thought.

22:00.905 --> 22:05.251
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought so as well, I thought this is one of the better in XT cars in a really long time.

22:05.711 --> 22:05.811
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

22:05.831 --> 22:09.636
[SPEAKER_00]: And he reminded me of the takeovers of old and the booking was competent.

22:09.696 --> 22:13.622
[SPEAKER_00]: And everybody showed up the pre show match.

22:13.722 --> 22:14.763
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed a lot.

22:15.304 --> 22:20.871
[SPEAKER_00]: Eekie Crosper, this guy, I'm like, good lord, he's amazing.

22:20.851 --> 22:35.624
[SPEAKER_00]: He reminds me a lot of Javan and Leon and Kevin Knight from a W like if they all had like a baby that that that is a combination of who this would be essentially in a good way.

22:36.445 --> 22:42.850
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that the game a new name too because I mean as long as he was Eli Knight, you knew yes never going anywhere.

22:42.871 --> 22:50.217
[SPEAKER_01]: No, because you can't have that name.

22:50.332 --> 23:14.413
[SPEAKER_01]: They do and yeah, and there's there's they got more talent coming in up the pipeline I again, I've mentioned this guy before, but there's a guy in evolve trillended who a year from now you're gonna be seeing the same things both him So, you know, he's he's like a it's like a young black Jeff Hardy if they if yeah Yeah, so yeah, just look forward to that and he he's such Jeff Hardy as an inspiration.

23:14.493 --> 23:14.854
[SPEAKER_01]: So

23:15.948 --> 23:22.536
[SPEAKER_01]: little bit of swerve mixed in as well because he talks about his drip and his beats and and all this like it's it's pretty cool.

23:23.317 --> 23:24.118
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.

23:24.138 --> 23:27.002
[SPEAKER_00]: So look for his call up sometime in the next year.

23:27.182 --> 23:44.925
[SPEAKER_00]: So then we have the opening match, which was the NXT Women's Championship match, which was the opener of this show involving JC Jane, Lola Vice and Kendall Gray, and this match was really

23:46.289 --> 23:53.248
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot say enough good things about Kendall, obviously, but Lola has been on my radar for a good while now.

23:53.690 --> 24:01.311
[SPEAKER_00]: She's improved so much confidence just her being so comfortable and the ring now that call it should have been a few months ago.

24:01.291 --> 24:08.680
[SPEAKER_00]: but I think you just want to get her with this rain in and then move her up probably by the summer of fall, which I'm totally fine with.

24:09.141 --> 24:11.344
[SPEAKER_00]: But the winner of this match was Lola Vice.

24:11.764 --> 24:13.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Kindle's time will come absolutely.

24:13.827 --> 24:18.493
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do want to shout out J.C. Jane for having a great one as champion.

24:18.934 --> 24:30.268
[SPEAKER_00]: And this run has definitely enabled her to really put the pieces together to be

24:30.248 --> 24:33.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Please go to SmackDown and take the U.S. Championship.

24:34.906 --> 24:37.289
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, it's time.

24:38.350 --> 24:45.620
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, I honestly thought that that was the best, the best women's match I've seen all year so far.

24:45.860 --> 24:49.204
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, we're, what, four months, little, little over three months in actually.

24:49.865 --> 24:52.468
[SPEAKER_01]: And like, I'm not even sure there's anything close.

24:53.149 --> 24:58.376
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not talking just an XT or WWE, and like, that's all of professional wrestling.

24:58.436 --> 24:59.998
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't think of a better women's match I've seen.

25:00.438 --> 25:02.601
[SPEAKER_01]: And really, one of the better matches period.

25:02.581 --> 25:04.425
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I just thought it was great.

25:04.886 --> 25:10.879
[SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, you know, and again, like Sky's a limit for, um, for Kendall, J.C. is earned a call up.

25:11.120 --> 25:12.503
[SPEAKER_01]: Lola's earned that title.

25:12.603 --> 25:19.999
[SPEAKER_01]: I should have happened in, uh, Miami, you know, at that PLE, they did a, um, what six months ago, but I mean, better late than ever I suppose.

25:20.485 --> 25:24.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, say, right at the wrong from six months ago, we needed her dad there.

25:25.034 --> 25:28.662
[SPEAKER_00]: The dad being there was missing for me, but he'll probably be there.

25:28.722 --> 25:33.111
[SPEAKER_00]: And she'll already, yes, he'll he'll be back.

25:33.277 --> 25:33.918
[SPEAKER_00]: tomorrow.

25:34.078 --> 25:36.041
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think you'll be front row and centers.

25:36.101 --> 25:39.265
[SPEAKER_00]: That should be a lot of fun during her championship celebration.

25:39.325 --> 25:46.755
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we get to the NXT tag team championship match involving Los Americanos and the Vanity Project.

25:47.195 --> 25:48.617
[SPEAKER_00]: This match is really good to you.

25:48.978 --> 25:53.003
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I know how serious WWE is taking Los Americanos.

25:53.384 --> 25:59.672
[SPEAKER_00]: Wardrobe budget has increased

26:00.074 --> 26:01.696
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, I mean, this is their gimmick now.

26:02.036 --> 26:06.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you know, whether they're, they were originally going to be luchadors, they're luchadors now.

26:06.762 --> 26:11.848
[SPEAKER_01]: I think five years now, they're still going to be luchadors unless they ask them ask match down the road somewhere.

26:12.489 --> 26:13.390
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is great.

26:13.450 --> 26:22.521
[SPEAKER_01]: And they've got something with this vanity project, especially the Brad Ricky, the two former guys in swipe right like that is.

26:22.501 --> 26:48.795
[SPEAKER_01]: They're doing like it's a complete they're completely different team, but it's it's kind of like fraxium was like they're they're probably the best tag team in WWE right now you know in terms of like just the ability to get the most out of their opponents and to make their opponents look good and to have good matches like they mix that indie style with what WWE wants and it works like really really well because they're not afraid to be bubbling idiots.

26:48.775 --> 27:00.928
[SPEAKER_01]: But still to have the good matches remind me a little bit of pretty deadly when they were like a serious tag team, you know, not when they got called up and became jokes.

27:02.309 --> 27:08.778
[SPEAKER_00]: I like them when I saw them a swipe right a couple of years ago in an ex-television so I like them a lot.

27:08.798 --> 27:17.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Then they became heels and joined the vanity project which I'm all for because it gives you personality and gives you layers to make it in WWE.

27:18.351 --> 27:23.438
[SPEAKER_00]: I will be very brace and to say this and I've been bold on this show many times over the years.

27:23.919 --> 27:25.561
[SPEAKER_00]: And I've been right a lot of the time.

27:25.941 --> 27:29.987
[SPEAKER_00]: You can attest to this Scott Cantu and I will say this.

27:29.967 --> 27:53.325
[SPEAKER_00]: with a stray face and y'all can market down April 7th, 20.26 at 12.03 am eastern standard time that I think that vanity projects specifically the tag team champions are going to be on the same level one day very soon as the young bucks Wow.

27:54.436 --> 28:01.206
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's a bold prediction, because I mean, Buck Scott, what, 15 year head start on?

28:01.567 --> 28:06.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, um, yeah, no, I mean, the potentials there for sure is there.

28:07.135 --> 28:17.170
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, I was going for Fraxium, but you know, if you want to go for the butts, I mean, a shoot for the shoot for the moon, and maybe I'll hit the ceiling.

28:17.150 --> 28:22.879
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, if you're right, you call it, I see it for them because they're very good.

28:22.899 --> 28:26.945
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, right now it's really books from like, you know, BTE.

28:27.526 --> 28:39.103
[SPEAKER_01]: If they go on a nice run here in NXT, you know, hold the belts, you know, till like through, you know, through the summer, I mean, there's only the only tag team in wrestling that is better than them right now.

28:39.163 --> 28:41.166
[SPEAKER_01]: It's probably the knockout brothers in New Japan.

28:41.146 --> 28:51.274
[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, they're going to finish very high in the, you know, in the tag team of the year awards if they stay together and if they, you know, if they, if they hold the titles and have these great matches.

28:51.355 --> 28:53.357
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and they can wrestle anybody.

28:53.457 --> 29:01.106
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing, like you put the men against OTM, put the men against Los Americana, so you can put the men against, you know, like they can bring motor city machine guns down if they want.

29:01.126 --> 29:14.460
[SPEAKER_01]: They probably will, because they're doing jacks shit with them on the main roster, you know, you know, and, and yeah, and they can they can have the, and they'll break, they'll call them up at some point and they'll have these great matches, you know, band them and the usos at some point would be awesome.

29:14.525 --> 29:18.056
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, so yeah, yeah, I'm, and they're freaking young.

29:18.518 --> 29:23.353
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that Brad Hondo's dude, I think he's like 20, 22, maybe.

29:24.095 --> 29:26.222
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the other one's like maybe 24.

29:26.962 --> 29:33.132
[SPEAKER_00]: their babies, and they have so much more going to do, which makes it scary.

29:33.152 --> 29:37.318
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're heels right now, wait until their baby faces.

29:37.539 --> 29:40.644
[SPEAKER_00]: And they get to do the baby face stuff, offensively.

29:41.024 --> 29:47.134
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what reminds, that's what makes me remind me of the young bucks when it comes to them.

29:47.635 --> 29:52.142
[SPEAKER_00]: Because their baby faces, they can just completely unload the clip in a good way.

29:53.017 --> 29:57.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, I was real high on Grayson Waller about four years ago and well kind of bit me in the ass.

29:57.864 --> 29:59.487
[SPEAKER_01]: So I hope you're right about swipe right.

29:59.848 --> 30:05.196
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, in life is never too late for one to figure it out.

30:05.897 --> 30:10.544
[SPEAKER_00]: Grayson Waller had a very nice showing about three weeks ago and my entire rock and strip on.

30:10.985 --> 30:11.746
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it too late?

30:11.886 --> 30:12.447
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

30:12.888 --> 30:20.239
[SPEAKER_00]: All I know is that if he ever gets a call from a Stanford Connecticut area code, he should be afraid.

30:20.337 --> 30:20.878
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

30:20.898 --> 30:23.982
[SPEAKER_00]: If it happens after WrestleMania, don't answer the phone.

30:24.002 --> 30:25.644
[SPEAKER_01]: No, uh, and update your resume.

30:26.024 --> 30:26.585
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

30:26.665 --> 30:27.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that too.

30:27.666 --> 30:29.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Get your self-tape reels ready to go.

30:30.350 --> 30:32.332
[SPEAKER_00]: Very important to do that just in case.

30:32.352 --> 30:33.754
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Tony's on the inspiration.

30:33.774 --> 30:39.982
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's got a soft spot for video cross trailians that flopped and tightened.

30:40.002 --> 30:40.843
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, well.

30:41.785 --> 30:45.411
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll reconvene and see if we're right around for sure.

30:45.452 --> 30:47.896
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we had Lola, not Lola.

30:47.936 --> 30:53.045
[SPEAKER_00]: We had Saruka versus Zarya and their grudge match.

30:53.065 --> 30:56.151
[SPEAKER_00]: I laugh at the fact that Vick Josts have just called them Zeruka.

30:56.571 --> 30:59.096
[SPEAKER_00]: Like no, they're two separate people in this match dude.

30:59.136 --> 31:03.203
[SPEAKER_00]: Saruka, like no, it's soul and Zarya.

31:03.183 --> 31:06.287
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed the match to crowd was not anti-soul.

31:06.347 --> 31:09.651
[SPEAKER_00]: They were kind of split a little bit, but mainly pro-soul.

31:09.671 --> 31:11.293
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed the match.

31:11.373 --> 31:13.115
[SPEAKER_00]: Both ladies put in a great effort.

31:13.736 --> 31:15.998
[SPEAKER_00]: And the right person one for now.

31:16.599 --> 31:20.423
[SPEAKER_00]: I still need soul to get out of the next TASAP.

31:21.064 --> 31:24.168
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want her there because Laura knows they return.

31:24.508 --> 31:25.950
[SPEAKER_00]: They're very difficult that way.

31:26.318 --> 31:28.381
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, especially those fans in Orlando.

31:29.743 --> 31:37.576
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Zarya should win, and then we could say, bye-bye to Seoul in NXT, but this means probably we're in yet another match.

31:37.596 --> 31:42.624
[SPEAKER_01]: What I really liked about this match was that they wrestled it like a fight.

31:42.664 --> 31:45.489
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't do the standard match that you would expect.

31:45.509 --> 31:47.051
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they kind of got to that by the end.

31:47.792 --> 31:52.680
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we spamming the Seoul Snatchers and everything, but at the beginning, they were just fighting.

31:52.660 --> 32:21.975
[SPEAKER_01]: And that I really liked that because this was a garage match and it should have been different from everything else on the show and it and it most for the most part was so I like that it didn't lend itself to get the crowd reactions and that might have been a little bit of what you know like took down the crowd heat a little bit but by the end they were into it and soul hitting you know a couple really like that one soul satchel she hit on the on the ramp was you know that that looks sick and then you know the one that finished it was was really cool too.

32:22.377 --> 32:26.305
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Billy could imagine, Zarya, Peter Finisher, and so kicked out of that.

32:26.405 --> 32:33.260
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was clearly a battle of who could survive was Finisher, and then hit the real finisher for the dub.

32:33.300 --> 32:34.823
[SPEAKER_00]: And so got that.

32:35.244 --> 32:38.350
[SPEAKER_00]: I do sense this feud must continue in some ways.

32:38.390 --> 32:39.953
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see how Tuesday shakes out.

32:40.374 --> 32:43.120
[SPEAKER_00]: We're guarding so facing Izzy Dame.

32:43.100 --> 32:58.122
[SPEAKER_00]: As they contend for shot at the NXT when his championship whenever that championship match takes place at a next PLE or on NXT television because I'm assuming there's another special coming up for them on the CW very soon as we get to our next.

32:58.102 --> 33:02.047
[SPEAKER_00]: match, which was for the men's North American Championship.

33:02.148 --> 33:16.548
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Mao's born versus Johnny Rustling, Johnny Gagano, and he was out there to compete as Johnny Rustling fun stat is never lost at stand and deliver until Saturday night and miss out.

33:16.888 --> 33:18.110
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he did.

33:18.230 --> 33:21.795
[SPEAKER_00]: He was undefeated until this past Saturday.

33:21.875 --> 33:23.417
[SPEAKER_00]: The match was

33:23.650 --> 33:29.737
[SPEAKER_00]: was probably my least favorite match of the night, but still very good miles.

33:30.457 --> 33:32.740
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs a better finisher than this exact.

33:32.940 --> 33:34.562
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got to hit it accordingly.

33:34.602 --> 33:36.184
[SPEAKER_00]: The first one was a little sloppy.

33:36.224 --> 33:38.226
[SPEAKER_00]: The second one was just okay.

33:38.686 --> 33:47.696
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Gagana was paying tribute to Chompo with the Willows Bell for a very close near fall when for the to make shot spear and one final beat.

33:47.796 --> 33:49.678
[SPEAKER_00]: And then miles kicked out of that.

33:49.779 --> 33:51.160
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's all

33:51.140 --> 33:53.167
[SPEAKER_00]: where does Johnny Gagano go from here?

33:53.207 --> 33:55.255
[SPEAKER_00]: Is his contract due?

33:55.736 --> 33:58.888
[SPEAKER_00]: Is your pending store aligned with the motocity machine guns on SmackDown?

33:58.928 --> 34:00.373
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see.

34:01.670 --> 34:05.556
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I probably liked it a little bit more than you did.

34:05.576 --> 34:09.702
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, nothing on the show was even close to bad.

34:09.722 --> 34:18.375
[SPEAKER_01]: So for me, I had a little bit of head of the women's North American title match and the tag team title match.

34:18.395 --> 34:23.442
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, they were all right around the same range other than that opener, which was fantastic.

34:23.422 --> 34:29.070
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, and I had the same questions about Johnny, like I, there was a few things that happened.

34:29.090 --> 34:30.271
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you noticed it.

34:30.612 --> 34:40.004
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they mentioned that the, the gear that he wore was the same gear that he had in his last standard deliver match, which I think was against Grayson Waller, right?

34:40.024 --> 34:49.277
[SPEAKER_01]: It was and he also had, and again, this may have been the same case back then, but he had the date of his NXT debut on his jacket.

34:49.392 --> 35:02.475
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I guess it was nine, 10, nine, 10, 15, I think, um, and that was the day him and Champa wrestled in the dusty classic, and they came in as free agents, and then they got signed after the match.

35:02.495 --> 35:05.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so that was interesting.

35:05.120 --> 35:09.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so that could be a clue that, you know, maybe he's leaving.

35:09.370 --> 35:15.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this, I mean, the whole storyline plays out like, you know, like they're writing something for him to go to eat.

35:15.483 --> 35:18.650
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be like, I mean, I don't think that's what's happening, but it's man.

35:18.670 --> 35:22.960
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that would be good storytelling if it was because that's sure feels like where they're heading.

35:24.728 --> 35:28.414
[SPEAKER_00]: If I win a WWE, is that gonna be the name Fernando?

35:28.735 --> 35:31.759
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was wondering, is that gonna be the name of the kid?

35:31.780 --> 35:32.961
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I like that.

35:32.981 --> 35:44.340
[SPEAKER_00]: If I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah, if I win, yeah,

35:44.438 --> 35:45.980
[SPEAKER_00]: I dig that to.

35:46.720 --> 35:53.528
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're going to give rap Johnny to a W one way to do it because I mean doctor and that's what they do, right?

35:53.728 --> 35:57.832
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that means sometimes they will give to you, hey, they're leaving.

35:58.153 --> 35:59.474
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to hold them back.

35:59.574 --> 36:00.796
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead and do what you got to do.

36:00.816 --> 36:02.497
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to like top your offer.

36:02.517 --> 36:03.619
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to match them.

36:04.039 --> 36:04.700
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead and go.

36:04.780 --> 36:05.360
[SPEAKER_00]: Be free.

36:05.941 --> 36:07.983
[SPEAKER_01]: And if that and they kind of did that with Champa too.

36:08.043 --> 36:12.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the last two months,

36:12.468 --> 36:18.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Ilia, right, and we're wearing the shirt my friend isn't what what did he call my friend is on a jackass.

36:19.177 --> 36:22.322
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, my friend is on a jackass That was it like that was the whole gimmick for like two.

36:22.342 --> 36:26.347
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't wrestle for like two months and then the next thing you know He's on a W and haven't bangers every week.

36:26.928 --> 36:38.644
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so and if y'all want to you know fulfill my booking fantasies and we can do FYI and FTR we have not done that at 10 years

36:38.725 --> 36:41.408
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, I mean, that's a legendary feud.

36:41.849 --> 36:43.891
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and you can do it.

36:43.911 --> 36:45.413
[SPEAKER_01]: You can do FYI in the young bucks, yeah.

36:45.873 --> 36:46.174
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

36:46.995 --> 36:47.635
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love that.

36:48.596 --> 36:49.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm here for that.

36:50.258 --> 36:54.924
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they don't need any more people, but that's like WWE is doing anything with Johnny.

36:55.404 --> 36:58.888
[SPEAKER_01]: Although Tony had a chance to sign him a few years ago, and he didn't.

36:59.009 --> 37:01.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what I understand, he didn't make him an offer.

37:02.485 --> 37:13.741
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we'll see if your circle back five years later, we shall see as we get to our next match, which was Tatum Paxley for the NXT North American championship of the Women's Side versus Blake Monroe.

37:14.402 --> 37:16.064
[SPEAKER_00]: I really enjoyed this match.

37:16.245 --> 37:18.668
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that Blake and Tatum had great chemistry.

37:19.049 --> 37:26.519
[SPEAKER_00]: They got the crowd into it, Tatum is one of my favorite people on NXT, character wise, Russell O'Wise, she's great Blake.

37:26.900 --> 37:29.944
[SPEAKER_00]: I know there's a lot of pushback against her character right now.

37:29.924 --> 37:32.627
[SPEAKER_00]: but Bell to Bell when she has a great opponent to work with.

37:32.787 --> 37:34.609
[SPEAKER_00]: She delivers and I thought that she did so.

37:34.649 --> 37:45.322
[SPEAKER_00]: It gets Tatum down the stretch really good action white person one, but I see it for Tatum a lot on this brand and also on the main roster when the time comes.

37:45.722 --> 37:48.105
[SPEAKER_00]: She's truly one of the best from the roots of performers.

37:48.305 --> 37:58.497
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen come through developmental from being nothing and diamond

37:59.320 --> 38:19.067
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I see a lot of live Morgan in her, like to wear like she should do anything that they want or to and she can put her you can make her heal you can make her baby face you can put her against big wrestler small wrestlers flyers, you grapplers whatever and she's going to make it work and and yeah and this was I mean.

38:19.047 --> 38:31.163
[SPEAKER_01]: This was possibly her best match and it was me other than I think Blake might have had one with Jay to Parker that was maybe it was a different one, but there was like one other match.

38:31.203 --> 38:35.890
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought was really good Blake Monroe's had in a WWE NXT.

38:36.811 --> 38:39.975
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it was a good sign because to me this was.

38:40.225 --> 38:57.950
[SPEAKER_01]: This was almost like a maker break for Blake Monroe in some ways, because I mean she came in with a lot of hype and she hasn't been light in the world on fire and she needed to show out here and she did and Tatum I was I was curious about the pairing of these two I wasn't sure if it would work, but definitely did.

38:59.312 --> 39:05.541
[SPEAKER_00]: It did and now we see this possible tease of Blake being associated with the vanity project.

39:05.858 --> 39:07.880
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, which, I mean, that could be a lot of fun.

39:08.401 --> 39:09.102
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it could.

39:09.222 --> 39:09.743
[SPEAKER_00]: Good lord.

39:10.183 --> 39:11.525
[SPEAKER_00]: Could make for some great television.

39:11.565 --> 39:15.369
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see how that plays out on Tuesdays and XT on the CW.

39:15.409 --> 39:24.660
[SPEAKER_00]: As we get to our main event, it is a fate of four-way match for the NXT Championship involving the Champion Joe Hendry Ricky Starks.

39:24.680 --> 39:26.722
[SPEAKER_00]: Ricky Saints, my apologies, sir.

39:27.343 --> 39:30.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Slip of the tongue, all ego-eathened page.

39:30.307 --> 39:35.713
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, Tony DeAngelo.

39:36.149 --> 39:42.455
[SPEAKER_00]: Bricky and all ego trying to top each other, trying to win this championship match.

39:42.495 --> 39:51.643
[SPEAKER_00]: The air chemistry is everything as it tried to still pins, trying to work together to ultimately turn against each other when it counted most and Tony D to get advantage of that.

39:51.703 --> 39:54.305
[SPEAKER_00]: I put it in both the brew, the announced table.

39:54.325 --> 40:06.156
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought Tony D, when he was in those hotspots, we're in those spots effectively, hair going crazy, hitting spears left and right, got the dub on Joe Hendry.

40:06.136 --> 40:22.982
[SPEAKER_00]: He's more figuring to a mini-bond breaker and I don't think that's a bad thing, but like we see this edge from Tony D that we have not seen before and now I understand because I know he did an interview recently saying that at one point they wanted him and breaker to be attacked team.

40:23.383 --> 40:31.215
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand the why because their intensity is very similar and I would love to see that on the main roster.

40:31.195 --> 40:32.597
[SPEAKER_00]: very, very soon.

40:32.897 --> 40:37.984
[SPEAKER_00]: This man has been on NXT for five years, just about five, but don't need your six.

40:39.145 --> 40:39.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, you're right.

40:39.967 --> 40:49.559
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because it was 2022 when he beat Champa at the stand in Deliver Dallas, or take over Dallas, I think it was, it was still at that time.

40:50.420 --> 40:53.925
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I maybe it was standing in Deliver, but I could out there.

40:54.866 --> 41:00.814
[SPEAKER_01]: And at the time, like he was probably

41:00.794 --> 41:17.858
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, um, there was like a six way that had Kyrie saying in it and, um, you know, and and Dolph Ziggler and Braun Breaker, um, yeah, and he came up with them and they mentioned that in the match and meanwhile, all these guys who came up with, they're all on the either on the main roster or they're gone.

41:17.838 --> 41:32.614
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's the one that's still in NXT and you know, and four years he was the dawn of NXT and now it's like, okay, now you got the belt and the brand's going to revolve around you for a little while, but I don't know how long because the guys ready.

41:33.235 --> 41:42.985
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, guys probably ready two years ago, but I mean he's changed in the last two years and now he's probably more ready because he's not just some comic book character.

41:42.965 --> 42:08.770
[SPEAKER_01]: He could do the comic book characters that's what they want, but he also is a badass wrestler that, you know, like, almost like a, even you meant to brawn breaker and I mean, I see what you're saying, but I, you know, I look at him, I think like juice Robinson, but like a serious juice Robinson almost like a bruiser Brody like yes, no, yeah, like he's, and he's talented like as hell.

42:08.750 --> 42:18.143
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, in the in the ring, like not just in acting, so I mean, he's got everything they want, and, you know, and he's youngish, I mean, I don't think he's 30 yet.

42:18.725 --> 42:21.274
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, he could have a long career on the main roster.

42:22.132 --> 42:29.344
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think this was this key to let's figure it out if there is like, you know, sustainability with this character being a little bit different.

42:29.785 --> 42:30.446
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's worked.

42:30.486 --> 42:33.431
[SPEAKER_00]: The intensity in the level has been a revelation.

42:33.611 --> 42:34.432
[SPEAKER_00]: He's great.

42:35.294 --> 42:39.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Let this be like a little tune up for the main roster and just get him caught up.

42:39.040 --> 42:42.304
[SPEAKER_00]: because he can be like that bruiser brody as you mentioned.

42:42.605 --> 42:46.009
[SPEAKER_00]: When that hair goes crazy, that's what I see too, in a very good way.

42:46.029 --> 42:49.473
[SPEAKER_00]: He has a skill set as a train amateur wrestler.

42:49.533 --> 42:52.277
[SPEAKER_00]: So that helps to along with being a badass.

42:52.297 --> 42:53.999
[SPEAKER_00]: So I love this for him.

42:54.019 --> 43:04.052
[SPEAKER_00]: I also want Ricky's Saints and I'll go to get called up to like a lot of people who've been on NXT for a while can definitely get the promotion now.

43:04.032 --> 43:14.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you're relying on rebuilding the pieces you have evolve now, you have the ID program and you have the people that you're training at the PC to build this show around.

43:14.152 --> 43:22.429
[SPEAKER_00]: We have to remember, despite what Paul Levex said many years ago, this ultimately is developmental.

43:23.084 --> 43:33.975
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then you've got AAA, LFG, like there's a lot of pipelines coming in, and, and, and, you know, and you've got the Indies, too, and, and, and, and, and you w in some ways.

43:34.015 --> 43:34.316
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

43:34.596 --> 43:47.910
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and, and, and, and, and, and there's guys, like, that they don't even, like, they, I think are signed that they haven't even used yet, you know, like, Roy, so, I mean, we know Roy skis is signed, but, uh, Haromo and, uh, evil, I think are probably signed,

43:47.890 --> 43:48.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, they're waiting.

43:49.514 --> 44:01.163
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it's, you know, and so yeah, if you do call up a Tony D, like maybe you slot some of those guys in the next C, you know, I mean, I don't know, or maybe you bring up some of those guys to the main roster, you send some guys down for the main roster.

44:01.183 --> 44:03.469
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think that's going to be happening more now.

44:03.550 --> 44:09.357
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, as, you know, as new people come in, they don't necessarily want to just hand people over to the competition.

44:09.377 --> 44:16.786
[SPEAKER_01]: You, when you can use them in, you know, one of your other brands, and you can sell tickets, especially like a AAA where, you know, they're doing great business down there.

44:17.327 --> 44:27.299
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, it's not really, I mean, it is at the motion, but it's not the same thing is sending someone to the developmental, because you're sending them to work in front of hot crowds and sold out buildings.

44:27.980 --> 44:32.545
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, that's not in some ways, some people might like that more, as long as you get paid the same.

44:33.554 --> 44:34.515
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree.

44:34.576 --> 44:46.454
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it works that way to especially if you're not doing the thing on the main roster, could I NXT be helping hand it will definitely benefit you and reinvigorate your career if need be as well.

44:46.594 --> 44:48.337
[SPEAKER_00]: So I do see that happening.

44:48.938 --> 44:53.285
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to draft just you free agency and just move people around and storyline.

44:53.385 --> 44:55.829
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm totally cool with that totally.

44:56.049 --> 44:57.351
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.

44:57.331 --> 45:01.975
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so that was in XT stand and deliver going down to St. Louis, Missouri.

45:02.115 --> 45:03.396
[SPEAKER_00]: I endured the show very much.

45:04.137 --> 45:09.862
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll see how they pay off the fallout in XT Television tonight on the CW.

45:10.363 --> 45:16.148
[SPEAKER_00]: As we now move on to Monday night raw going down live from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

45:16.568 --> 45:18.650
[SPEAKER_00]: And we kick things off, not with Seth Rollins.

45:18.670 --> 45:27.338
[SPEAKER_00]: That was advertised initially on social media.

45:27.318 --> 45:38.739
[SPEAKER_00]: and he dropped a pipe bomb on Roman Reigns, the rock, Pat Magophie, or Macophie, T.K.O.

45:39.340 --> 45:40.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Ari, a manual.

45:40.822 --> 45:45.711
[SPEAKER_00]: He went off and I loved it.

45:46.232 --> 45:47.955
[SPEAKER_00]: He talked about Roman.

45:48.356 --> 45:51.081
[SPEAKER_00]: He talked about how he had eight.

45:51.061 --> 45:53.707
[SPEAKER_00]: really bad main offensive rots of media.

45:53.727 --> 45:56.815
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a wild line.

45:56.835 --> 46:02.889
[SPEAKER_00]: And that if you are a fan, Paul, if you are, you can kind of count.

46:02.969 --> 46:08.462
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 2016, 2015, 2017, 2017,

46:08.442 --> 46:12.906
[SPEAKER_00]: 2018, 2019, you skipped 2020, 2020.

46:13.386 --> 46:19.532
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if you count them like, yeah, it wasn't really into 2023 when it was hidden, which are main events.

46:19.672 --> 46:22.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Technically, it's facts.

46:22.955 --> 46:30.962
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we say, if I live eggs at eight WrestleMania where I got good and less, couple, I will be fired and blacklisted from the industry.

46:31.243 --> 46:33.485
[SPEAKER_00]: But here you are, because you are a Neppo baby.

46:33.505 --> 46:38.449
[SPEAKER_00]: You benefited from your father and your cousin.

46:38.429 --> 46:41.554
[SPEAKER_00]: in the past tense was a Hollywood star.

46:42.295 --> 46:45.680
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't call a Disney legend as Ben.

46:45.700 --> 46:49.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you don't do that, but he did it anyway.

46:50.346 --> 47:00.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Then it goes in on Pat McAfee and TKO and telling them on a live microphone, you need to lower your ticket prices.

47:01.282 --> 47:08.132
[SPEAKER_00]: So these fine people in Houston can fly out and see me what grown as asked to WrestleMania.

47:09.698 --> 47:11.761
[SPEAKER_00]: It was tremendous television.

47:12.162 --> 47:12.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.

47:12.763 --> 47:24.402
[SPEAKER_00]: I lived a clearly, this is a directive from Paul of Egg, which is so fascinating that we're basically having this guy, the head of creative, taking verbal shots at T.K.L.

47:25.163 --> 47:26.205
[SPEAKER_00]: And

47:26.185 --> 47:35.475
[SPEAKER_00]: you're doing it in a live television and it's from a real place, the frustration because they are putting their hands all over this WrestleMania build.

47:36.076 --> 47:46.107
[SPEAKER_00]: And I will let Paul take the floor, but I will have something else to say regarding TKO and how wrestling fans are just built different and how they won't tolerate this long term.

47:47.408 --> 47:55.517
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I concur with everything you said, you know,

47:55.835 --> 47:59.080
[SPEAKER_01]: a hard part of tension to the fact that he's bucked teeth.

47:59.601 --> 48:08.215
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, you know, like the only reason you got a job here is because you failed at football and you got somebody in your family to get you the job here.

48:08.235 --> 48:08.315
[SPEAKER_01]: A.E.

48:09.957 --> 48:14.785
[SPEAKER_01]: mentioned something about how he doesn't have to worry about building burning a bridge because he can swim.

48:14.845 --> 48:15.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

48:15.566 --> 48:19.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Unlike other people, like that was like a great line.

48:19.072 --> 48:24.478
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he one thing he brought up and I'll give credit to Lady B because she pointed out to me in the discord.

48:24.598 --> 48:32.147
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I think she heard it from somewhere else was one of the lines he talked about was about Houston and he said it to bad things happen to him.

48:32.407 --> 48:45.062
[SPEAKER_01]: And he mentioned because it was in Houston where he was supposed to wrestle John Morrison and Chris Benwa and when the ECW title and what happened with Chris Benwa happened and he didn't get his, get his title.

48:45.042 --> 48:49.928
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so that that was a failed reference to to Ben Wall, but it was more about his own situation.

48:49.988 --> 48:54.333
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I don't think he, you know, there wasn't anything taboo about that one.

48:54.594 --> 48:55.555
[SPEAKER_01]: He referenced Vince.

48:56.115 --> 49:02.103
[SPEAKER_01]: He called him like, you know, because some weird old man, you know, had a thing for you, and that's why he kept getting pushed.

49:02.924 --> 49:06.068
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I mean, he just went off.

49:06.688 --> 49:09.932
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, Roman wasn't there, and he was clear to point that out.

49:09.992 --> 49:14.678
[SPEAKER_01]: The fan started the

49:14.658 --> 49:21.456
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, and, and, you know, and of course it's easy heat when you say, well, the guy didn't show up, you know, like you can share from all you want.

49:21.476 --> 49:21.937
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not here.

49:22.840 --> 49:29.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I just, and the one thing that I came away from this was when he, you know, finished the promo talking about the ticket prices and everything.

49:30.019 --> 49:30.861
[SPEAKER_01]: That's like,

49:31.347 --> 49:37.521
[SPEAKER_01]: his nickname for so long was the voice of the voiceless and I mean, that's exactly what this was.

49:37.581 --> 49:38.924
[SPEAKER_01]: He never said it.

49:39.445 --> 49:46.420
[SPEAKER_01]: He did reference pipe bomb, but he was the voice of the voiceless, all these people wanting lower ticket prices, and here's their euro.

49:46.400 --> 49:48.342
[SPEAKER_01]: telling you to lower the ticket prices.

49:48.482 --> 49:50.545
[SPEAKER_01]: And I assume they probably will.

49:51.405 --> 49:53.608
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, and maybe they're going to get another 10.

49:53.628 --> 49:57.232
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't be surprised if they get another 10,000 fans in there.

49:57.352 --> 50:02.337
[SPEAKER_01]: And they do have 50,000 by the time the thing is, I mean, I'm to the point like I'm going to be in Vegas.

50:02.438 --> 50:03.118
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have tickets.

50:03.819 --> 50:05.881
[SPEAKER_01]: If they're reasonably priced, I'll buy them.

50:06.442 --> 50:09.946
[SPEAKER_01]: The last time I checked, it was like $283 each for nosbleeds.

50:09.986 --> 50:10.727
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not paying that.

50:11.427 --> 50:15.732
[SPEAKER_01]: But if I can get in for a hundred or if I can get good seats for four,

50:16.319 --> 50:29.895
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll go, you know, but I'm not, I'm not, like I paid the last time I went to a WrestleMania that I paid for tickets for the only time, actually, I paid $700 a seat and I was right beside the stage.

50:30.335 --> 50:38.124
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I'm not getting that now, but if I can get a decent price, I'll go, but I'm not going to pay those big prices.

50:38.184 --> 50:41.348
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe punk did it for me.

50:41.598 --> 50:46.811
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to find out if they do like another sale before WrestleMania and those tickets move.

50:46.871 --> 50:49.658
[SPEAKER_00]: But the TKO shots were something.

50:49.678 --> 50:51.442
[SPEAKER_00]: The lower ticket sales was crazy.

50:51.462 --> 50:54.409
[SPEAKER_00]: The dog food line.

50:54.929 --> 50:55.590
[SPEAKER_00]: That was wild.

50:55.751 --> 50:58.517
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, you ate you ate dog food for a weird old man.

50:58.918 --> 51:02.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and he should have mentioned the damn mascot to the goddamn dog.

51:03.007 --> 51:06.454
[SPEAKER_00]: That was at their feeding in the dog food on Smackdown on Fox.

51:07.035 --> 51:12.046
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, there's a couple of things he could have mentioned and didn't like the commercial with his daughter.

51:12.066 --> 51:13.309
[SPEAKER_01]: He stayed at that.

51:13.289 --> 51:21.003
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, um, he could have mentioned that the only you couldn't get any heat until you speared a seven year old man out of his boots.

51:21.424 --> 51:22.506
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I could have said that.

51:22.987 --> 51:23.628
[SPEAKER_01]: Could have went there.

51:23.868 --> 51:24.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Could have went there.

51:24.509 --> 51:25.872
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what happened in like 2018.

51:25.972 --> 51:31.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, that was a last desperate thing when Vince took, you know, decide to take a bump for him.

51:31.362 --> 51:40.644
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, um, yeah, um, but yeah, it was, I mean, he went just about as far as he could go and then some because when he said, oh, you think I'm done.

51:40.684 --> 51:41.245
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not done.

51:41.285 --> 51:45.175
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he went off on Mac of the NTKO and he's like, oh my god.

51:46.738 --> 51:47.059
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

51:48.068 --> 51:48.448
[SPEAKER_00]: Mac.

51:48.468 --> 51:51.972
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to go up against punk, I swear you'll lose every time.

51:52.012 --> 51:55.096
[SPEAKER_00]: You think you're a great talker, that's just built different.

51:55.136 --> 51:59.120
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't even counter that at all in any way, shape from a fashion.

51:59.180 --> 52:02.965
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Pat's going to have something something wanted to show tomorrow.

52:02.985 --> 52:03.365
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure.

52:03.685 --> 52:04.386
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.

52:04.406 --> 52:12.355
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's going to talk, you know, who do you think I was talking about when I talked about five foot five guys doing Iron Man matches while the crowd slept and nobody bought tickets?

52:12.335 --> 52:13.316
[SPEAKER_01]: that was you Phil.

52:15.780 --> 52:16.701
[SPEAKER_00]: Say it to my face.

52:17.803 --> 52:18.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Say it to my face.

52:19.405 --> 52:20.827
[SPEAKER_00]: But I love this.

52:20.847 --> 52:23.150
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say to TKO.

52:23.210 --> 52:34.866
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been able to run them monopoly with UFC for a very long time and their fans try to warn us about this ownership take over two years ago.

52:34.846 --> 52:39.856
[SPEAKER_00]: And y'all was right, but I will say this, wrestling fans are built different.

52:40.397 --> 52:41.740
[SPEAKER_00]: We do have our element.

52:42.060 --> 52:44.485
[SPEAKER_00]: We will let you know we will overtake your shows.

52:44.806 --> 52:56.449
[SPEAKER_00]: We were shot at the rooftops if you piss us off and tickets to Hose and lowering your ticket prices might be that Ben Rettline that you can't come back from TKO.

52:56.429 --> 53:24.242
[SPEAKER_00]: fans will let you know how they feel and you will fill it in your wallets too if it's a little lighter when you're not moving tickets as much, but I feel this if this is a battle that is happening very publicly between

53:24.222 --> 53:25.605
[SPEAKER_00]: and something's got to give.

53:25.845 --> 53:30.815
[SPEAKER_00]: If Ari thinks he can just go in there and fire Paula Beck and replace him, good luck with that.

53:31.255 --> 53:33.239
[SPEAKER_00]: Because what did you know about professional wrestling?

53:33.580 --> 53:36.305
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you know about booking and who are you going to replace him with?

53:36.325 --> 53:38.870
[SPEAKER_00]: You can say Dwayne, but we'll have the time to do it.

53:39.351 --> 53:45.623
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you don't want to alienate the codies and the sets and the punks from this because

53:45.603 --> 53:46.925
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have to stay.

53:46.985 --> 53:48.528
[SPEAKER_00]: They have their money.

53:48.928 --> 53:49.709
[SPEAKER_00]: They can go.

53:49.729 --> 53:55.659
[SPEAKER_00]: They want to stick around and grow this business years after they're done as active wrestlers.

53:56.059 --> 54:04.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't give them the incentive to cash out early, because you don't know how to manage this company, and in terms of what you know what it can do for you.

54:04.633 --> 54:07.758
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know promoting professional wrestling.

54:09.540 --> 54:11.564
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah?

54:11.584 --> 54:13.146
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah?

54:14.510 --> 54:24.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and you know, and the great thing is is that if this works, it almost comes off like the fans asked for it and got it.

54:25.115 --> 54:28.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, even though the truth is they fucked up.

54:28.432 --> 54:30.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they did.

54:30.475 --> 54:35.183
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like you have to admit that you fucked up and then at the same time acknowledge the fans were right.

54:35.263 --> 54:36.645
[SPEAKER_00]: It kind of goes hand in hand.

54:37.166 --> 54:41.032
[SPEAKER_00]: So I love the fact that it's a little bit of paranoia going on.

54:41.513 --> 54:49.867
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of spookam season for WWE regarding WrestleMania, but I think it's a wakeup call that I said a long time ago, isn't that necessary?

54:50.247 --> 54:51.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you just can't rest on.

54:51.790 --> 54:54.895
[SPEAKER_00]: We make a lot of money and people are going to buy at some point.

54:54.875 --> 55:01.202
[SPEAKER_00]: people will stop buying and those numbers that you expect them to, you know, shell out money for because it's expensive.

55:01.703 --> 55:08.070
[SPEAKER_00]: And I totally understand the reasoning as to why fans were kind of buyer adverse to this year's WrestleMania.

55:08.350 --> 55:12.655
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the same market two years in a row and the tickets were sky high.

55:13.416 --> 55:18.402
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would I do that to myself and this economy be for real?

55:18.382 --> 55:24.630
[SPEAKER_01]: And they've already, I mean, they're already going to break their gate record, yeah, you know, even if they don't sell us another ticket.

55:25.052 --> 55:27.784
[SPEAKER_01]: So they could give away these tickets.

55:28.186 --> 55:50.667
[SPEAKER_01]: But they're better off to sell them for cheaper, you know, like I mean, even if it's like, you know, a hundred bucks, you know, if 10,000 people buy, I mean, that's another million dollars right there, but it also, you know, it means that all these people, you got 50,000 people that are all paid as opposed to, you know, 50,000 in the building, but only 40,000 paid exactly, you know.

55:50.647 --> 55:52.629
[SPEAKER_00]: You broke it, but inflation only.

55:52.649 --> 55:55.312
[SPEAKER_00]: That's basically what it is by jacking at the price.

55:55.492 --> 55:56.573
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

55:56.593 --> 56:00.598
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's not like I don't think that if they would have gone with the same prices as last year.

56:00.618 --> 56:02.019
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they would have sold more.

56:03.221 --> 56:06.745
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, then then they have, but probably not as much as they did last year.

56:07.145 --> 56:10.168
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you'd probably be a bit to be around 44 or 45.

56:10.188 --> 56:12.891
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, with the same prices as last year.

56:13.512 --> 56:14.793
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, especially.

56:14.833 --> 56:16.195
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're at 39, 40 right now.

56:16.635 --> 56:16.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

56:17.076 --> 56:19.118
[SPEAKER_01]: And they got, but

56:19.098 --> 56:34.643
[SPEAKER_01]: two weeks two weeks to push it are a little less ten yeah 10 days 10 days till I'm in Vegas uh 13 days until uh night one yeah yeah 12 12 now I have yeah because it's Tuesday

56:34.893 --> 56:37.077
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the show was, you know, this show was so cheap.

56:37.097 --> 56:43.929
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about WWE that they didn't even bother doing a count down to how many days to WrestleMania this year.

56:43.949 --> 56:44.890
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, hey, no, no, no, no.

56:45.231 --> 56:49.198
[SPEAKER_01]: And none of the WrestleMania moment type thing that they used to do every year.

56:49.278 --> 56:54.948
[SPEAKER_01]: They did one cool thing today with Sam Pug, you know, talking about going to WrestleMania as an extra on stuff.

56:54.968 --> 56:57.692
[SPEAKER_01]: But, um, yeah, there was none of that.

56:57.793 --> 56:59.736
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's almost like,

57:00.087 --> 57:05.254
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the last, you know, two months of TV is all been about WrestleMania bill.

57:05.314 --> 57:08.258
[SPEAKER_01]: But it, yeah, I miss that countdown.

57:08.278 --> 57:10.581
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they started at the Royal Rumble, like 70 days.

57:11.041 --> 57:11.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

57:11.862 --> 57:12.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

57:12.964 --> 57:13.645
[SPEAKER_00]: I miss that.

57:13.705 --> 57:18.231
[SPEAKER_00]: I miss the weekend having an official theme for us to many of that streaks over.

57:18.291 --> 57:19.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Boo.

57:19.713 --> 57:20.494
[SPEAKER_00]: Nickelback, I think.

57:21.054 --> 57:22.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Nickelback and aerosmith.

57:22.576 --> 57:23.437
[SPEAKER_00]: First one, Nickelback.

57:23.558 --> 57:24.098
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that.

57:24.118 --> 57:26.922
[SPEAKER_00]: I like aerosmith song, but yeah, Nickelback, though.

57:26.902 --> 57:32.973
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't love that the burn it to the ground tonight.

57:33.154 --> 57:35.037
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I've been okay with that.

57:35.057 --> 57:38.543
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's this new song, but no, um, yeah.

57:39.145 --> 57:44.575
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, next segment was I shall speed fighting for his life running for his life jumping for his life.

57:45.156 --> 57:47.560
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess early nine of the usows and

57:47.894 --> 57:54.546
[SPEAKER_00]: at a classic AEW Tony Con moment, they gave the Usos back their old face.

57:54.566 --> 57:55.507
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, we can hear it.

57:55.527 --> 57:56.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

57:56.128 --> 57:56.209
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey.

57:57.170 --> 57:57.671
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

57:57.731 --> 57:58.833
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

57:59.595 --> 58:04.042
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that was, I mean, what a stupid thing they did last week.

58:04.062 --> 58:08.991
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, the only thing we missed was like, at during the match, you know, like

58:09.123 --> 58:14.268
[SPEAKER_01]: And then so they leave and they have the old music back by the end of the match, like they didn't in the WWE.

58:14.288 --> 58:14.889
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was good.

58:15.329 --> 58:26.440
[SPEAKER_01]: I did also like backstage before this segment with Dan Housing and just appearing out of nowhere and disappearing out of nowhere and confusing the hell out of ISO speed.

58:26.821 --> 58:27.581
[SPEAKER_01]: That was pretty cool.

58:28.082 --> 58:30.524
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it was a match.

58:30.544 --> 58:32.747
[SPEAKER_01]: All the matches tonight just kind of felt like it.

58:32.767 --> 58:33.227
[SPEAKER_01]: It matches.

58:33.567 --> 58:34.969
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing you need to see.

58:35.249 --> 58:38.252
[SPEAKER_01]: It was all just backdrop for all the WrestleMania

58:38.620 --> 58:49.626
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I enjoyed one match which I'll get to in a bit, but I love the I show speed stuff with Dan Housen as well and Dan Housen, saying listen, I will break this curse if you give me your mansion.

58:49.927 --> 58:55.454
[SPEAKER_01]: I, and I thought he wanted to mention, no, he wants his name.

58:55.915 --> 58:57.757
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, well, I mean, that's, you know, he's coming down.

58:57.998 --> 59:00.241
[SPEAKER_01]: Last time he didn't he has for 150 million dollars.

59:00.261 --> 59:05.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, the followers, all of his followers, no, we're going to go in.

59:05.548 --> 59:06.969
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to split the profit.

59:07.310 --> 59:08.351
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and the channel.

59:08.391 --> 59:09.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and yeah, be this.

59:09.653 --> 59:11.236
[SPEAKER_01]: I should speed down housing channel.

59:11.336 --> 59:12.057
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

59:12.117 --> 59:25.421
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I so speed housing and I loved I loved when and this is the second time I think in a row he's done it when he's like he's carrying the teeth and so what is that?

59:26.082 --> 59:32.033
[SPEAKER_01]: A job teeth obviously and then he just goes on and whatever else he's going to say and I just love the way they're doing that because it's like

59:32.654 --> 59:47.800
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like they're expecting you to know, but it's almost like they're telling you, well, of course it's teeth, but it's like you, it's giving it doing it in a way that you want to know, you know what I mean, as opposed to like an A, W, it was just like they were just always there and they assumed you knew the backstory and they never mentioned it.

59:48.922 --> 59:51.487
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like yeah, at least here, it's like yeah, these are teeth.

59:51.607 --> 59:52.929
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what else do you think they were?

59:53.750 --> 59:55.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's hilarious.

59:55.435 --> 59:58.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so it was awesome theory versus LA night.

59:58.859 --> 01:00:10.674
[SPEAKER_00]: The match wasn't much, but it was all a backdrop to what we would now be getting a WrestleMania, which is the Uso's and LA night teaming up against I show speed and the world tag team champions, Logan Paul and Austin theory.

01:00:10.714 --> 01:00:14.219
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I know how the curse is going to be broken Paul.

01:00:15.300 --> 01:00:19.806
[SPEAKER_00]: I show speed is going to turn on Logan Paul and become a babyface.

01:00:20.478 --> 01:00:22.762
[SPEAKER_01]: OK, I mean, yeah, I mean, that makes sense.

01:00:23.503 --> 01:00:26.870
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, and then he can corner them.

01:00:27.531 --> 01:00:32.299
[SPEAKER_01]: He can corner the usos for the tag team title rematch on the RAW after Mania.

01:00:32.399 --> 01:00:36.948
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, like I mean, this, I mean, we could see this match was coming last week.

01:00:37.088 --> 01:00:38.571
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, they made it official here.

01:00:38.611 --> 01:00:41.035
[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently, apparently,

01:00:41.015 --> 01:00:46.303
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, Pierce has more power than they call this because all this couldn't get Sami Zayn on the card.

01:00:46.343 --> 01:00:52.012
[SPEAKER_01]: But, uh, Ellie and I just makes this random six man match and, and, uh, Pierce is like, yeah, yeah, let's do it.

01:00:53.354 --> 01:00:54.296
[SPEAKER_00]: We can make it happen.

01:00:54.757 --> 01:00:56.099
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have limited space.

01:00:56.159 --> 01:00:56.860
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have to say.

01:00:56.940 --> 01:00:58.763
[SPEAKER_00]: We have very limited slots for WrestleMania.

01:00:59.063 --> 01:00:59.704
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have it.

01:00:59.945 --> 01:01:02.268
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, and Ray Mysterio just shows up.

01:01:02.288 --> 01:01:03.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're on the card, too.

01:01:03.570 --> 01:01:05.233
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, and everybody's on the cards.

01:01:05.213 --> 01:01:07.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just gone to raw exactly.

01:01:07.838 --> 01:01:09.502
[SPEAKER_00]: He would have found a way for you to do.

01:01:09.522 --> 01:01:10.303
[SPEAKER_00]: He really would have.

01:01:10.744 --> 01:01:12.427
[SPEAKER_00]: So that segment was fine for what it was.

01:01:12.507 --> 01:01:13.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Match was just there.

01:01:13.870 --> 01:01:14.471
[SPEAKER_00]: It existed.

01:01:14.531 --> 01:01:22.187
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I will say another thing that I loved about the show was the interview segment between AJ Lee and Becky Lynch.

01:01:22.207 --> 01:01:22.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

01:01:23.129 --> 01:01:26.395
[SPEAKER_00]: The best they have done to date.

01:01:26.375 --> 01:01:27.717
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't cartoony.

01:01:28.338 --> 01:01:29.759
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody was being extra.

01:01:30.420 --> 01:01:31.722
[SPEAKER_00]: Becky spoke her truth.

01:01:32.303 --> 01:01:33.544
[SPEAKER_00]: AJ spoke hers.

01:01:33.905 --> 01:01:39.512
[SPEAKER_00]: She told Becky, I'm proud of you because if it wasn't for me, you would not have done any of the things that you have done.

01:01:39.832 --> 01:01:41.354
[SPEAKER_00]: I broke down these barriers.

01:01:41.474 --> 01:01:42.716
[SPEAKER_00]: I knocked down those doors.

01:01:43.076 --> 01:01:44.798
[SPEAKER_00]: I put the cracks in those glass ceilings.

01:01:45.339 --> 01:01:46.801
[SPEAKER_00]: I did you a solid.

01:01:46.821 --> 01:01:56.213
[SPEAKER_00]: I opened so many doors for you to walk

01:01:56.193 --> 01:01:57.335
[SPEAKER_00]: And guess what?

01:01:57.716 --> 01:02:01.983
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your daughter's favorite wrestler too, and she's rooting for me at WrestleMania.

01:02:02.364 --> 01:02:03.445
[SPEAKER_00]: She ain't rooting for you.

01:02:03.465 --> 01:02:09.115
[SPEAKER_00]: So, doses to you, and she left Becky shook it, and I loved it.

01:02:09.215 --> 01:02:11.900
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved how they took this seriously.

01:02:11.940 --> 01:02:17.830
[SPEAKER_00]: The Brooks household had a great night in terms of selling their matches at WrestleMania.

01:02:18.164 --> 01:02:21.269
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I thought I was as AJ was going.

01:02:21.289 --> 01:02:23.913
[SPEAKER_01]: I was thinking, okay, she's laying it on a little thick.

01:02:24.334 --> 01:02:25.135
[SPEAKER_01]: Like all this stuff.

01:02:25.155 --> 01:02:31.305
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, she's basically describing Ron, what Ron did, you know, because I remember it a little differently.

01:02:32.387 --> 01:02:45.488
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, as AJ, breaking down these, these, you know, ceilings as she's, you know, being, you know, the, the minuscule, raw GM, or in the middle of the love triangle with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan,

01:02:45.468 --> 01:02:53.579
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, I, but it, you know, Becky sold it as if she was telling the truth, and that's what, you know, that was the key.

01:02:54.160 --> 01:03:00.709
[SPEAKER_01]: And then she used her own line against her, you know, because she talked about how her daughter sings that song and it drives her nuts.

01:03:00.869 --> 01:03:05.916
[SPEAKER_01]: And she hates the fact that her daughter loves AJ and then AJ just slime that right back in her face.

01:03:06.497 --> 01:03:10.142
[SPEAKER_01]: And Becky, the way when AJ just walked off and Becky said,

01:03:10.122 --> 01:03:39.724
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, like she's right and I can't like there's nothing I could say because she's right, you know is is almost the way it came off and now you feel that Becky is even more motivated to prove to her daughter You know that that she's the better woman and to AJ Lee so yeah, I yeah, it was great job there all in K-Fayp to this I actually believe that Rue loves AJ I believe it's in my core and myself that she skips around the house

01:03:40.042 --> 01:03:42.221
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm not sure if her mom encourages it.

01:03:42.685 --> 01:03:44.601
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

01:03:46.252 --> 01:03:51.718
[SPEAKER_01]: My daughter just listened to both the Becky and the AJ books and she loved them both.

01:03:51.938 --> 01:03:56.783
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, first of all, AJ has a soothing voice as well as Becky too.

01:03:56.823 --> 01:04:01.147
[SPEAKER_01]: Dis soothing voice and then the freaking Bella's book, they don't even do their own audio.

01:04:01.528 --> 01:04:01.948
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

01:04:02.048 --> 01:04:03.450
[SPEAKER_01]: And they mispronounced the names.

01:04:04.091 --> 01:04:04.691
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.

01:04:04.971 --> 01:04:12.259
[SPEAKER_01]: Rest of Natalie need heart in Florida.

01:04:12.661 --> 01:04:13.903
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, thanks a lot.

01:04:13.964 --> 01:04:16.268
[SPEAKER_00]: They're New York Times best selling authors.

01:04:16.849 --> 01:04:18.793
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I bought it.

01:04:18.813 --> 01:04:20.136
[SPEAKER_01]: I bought it in her six books now.

01:04:20.156 --> 01:04:21.499
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was the only one that was bad.

01:04:21.559 --> 01:04:25.366
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, well, you know what, you had a good treat going on.

01:04:25.727 --> 01:04:26.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Get it.

01:04:26.348 --> 01:04:26.889
[SPEAKER_01]: It's nice.

01:04:26.909 --> 01:04:32.400
[SPEAKER_01]: It helps you know, put sort of, hey, I put a put it on for like an hour and when she goes to bed and yeah, it's great.

01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:33.302
[SPEAKER_01]: Helps you're falsely.

01:04:34.295 --> 01:04:42.005
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, he's so the more you know, pausing edition, shooting star like in BC letting you know more you know those audible credits man.

01:04:42.606 --> 01:04:45.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, they help you in a clutch for sure.

01:04:45.109 --> 01:04:56.283
[SPEAKER_00]: So as Paul said, a lot of filler on the show, a lot of things just to get us through WrestleMania promo season, Finn Baller was supposed to have a magic and JD McDonough.

01:04:56.303 --> 01:05:02.952
[SPEAKER_00]: He got jumped by Dominic, Mysterio and JD, they walked them up

01:05:02.932 --> 01:05:05.241
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just so impressed he was recovered.

01:05:05.602 --> 01:05:09.798
[SPEAKER_00]: He was able to shoot a cinematic promo backstage with production value and 4K.

01:05:10.179 --> 01:05:10.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Amazing.

01:05:11.303 --> 01:05:12.267
[SPEAKER_01]: And a different haircut.

01:05:13.715 --> 01:05:16.059
[SPEAKER_00]: listen, all semantics.

01:05:16.780 --> 01:05:18.843
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have a fresh cut after this beat down.

01:05:18.863 --> 01:05:19.665
[SPEAKER_00]: What's it a barber?

01:05:19.985 --> 01:05:20.466
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a listen.

01:05:20.506 --> 01:05:21.928
[SPEAKER_00]: I need a fresh cut after this.

01:05:22.690 --> 01:05:28.920
[SPEAKER_00]: And he mentions that because what has happened, he thought something from his past was buried forever.

01:05:29.741 --> 01:05:33.327
[SPEAKER_00]: But he thinks it's time to bring this out for WrestleMania.

01:05:33.788 --> 01:05:36.432
[SPEAKER_00]: And you see the tears of

01:05:36.412 --> 01:05:37.314
[SPEAKER_00]: the demon.

01:05:38.155 --> 01:05:39.338
[SPEAKER_00]: And I will say this.

01:05:39.819 --> 01:05:43.285
[SPEAKER_00]: Do not tell me it's the demon and to WrestleMania.

01:05:44.047 --> 01:05:46.712
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, I mean, yeah, you want that music to play.

01:05:46.812 --> 01:05:46.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:05:47.614 --> 01:05:49.999
[SPEAKER_01]: And then do the original baller club.

01:05:50.520 --> 01:05:52.363
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the music plays and he doesn't come out.

01:05:52.964 --> 01:05:54.808
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the lights go out.

01:05:54.890 --> 01:05:57.354
[SPEAKER_01]: The music plays again, and now it's the demon.

01:05:58.056 --> 01:05:58.316
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

01:05:58.436 --> 01:06:00.319
[SPEAKER_01]: And Dominic is shit in his boots.

01:06:00.740 --> 01:06:01.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

01:06:01.662 --> 01:06:02.704
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:06:02.764 --> 01:06:04.306
[SPEAKER_01]: And Liv is like, I'm out here.

01:06:04.807 --> 01:06:05.168
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm out.

01:06:05.609 --> 01:06:06.250
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm out.

01:06:06.691 --> 01:06:06.851
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm out.

01:06:06.871 --> 01:06:07.091
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm out.

01:06:07.111 --> 01:06:07.612
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm out.

01:06:07.632 --> 01:06:09.315
[SPEAKER_01]: JD is like, he's already gone.

01:06:10.437 --> 01:06:11.098
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:06:11.118 --> 01:06:13.202
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know it.

01:06:13.182 --> 01:06:15.304
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you pick up when he said you think you know me?

01:06:15.725 --> 01:06:16.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

01:06:16.746 --> 01:06:17.246
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

01:06:17.266 --> 01:06:17.567
[SPEAKER_00]: I did.

01:06:17.607 --> 01:06:18.207
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.

01:06:18.528 --> 01:06:22.873
[SPEAKER_00]: The lore of this will never die of what happened in the O.G.

01:06:22.893 --> 01:06:23.493
[SPEAKER_00]: judgment day.

01:06:23.814 --> 01:06:24.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.

01:06:24.474 --> 01:06:24.895
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.

01:06:25.535 --> 01:06:26.436
[SPEAKER_00]: I need Finta.

01:06:26.456 --> 01:06:28.419
[SPEAKER_00]: The sickest face paint for WrestleMania.

01:06:28.439 --> 01:06:30.521
[SPEAKER_00]: I need it to be like perfection.

01:06:31.061 --> 01:06:35.686
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be insanely happy when I see it and down country days.

01:06:35.767 --> 01:06:36.147
[SPEAKER_00]: You're done.

01:06:36.187 --> 01:06:37.749
[SPEAKER_00]: You're dead effectively.

01:06:37.789 --> 01:06:38.970
[SPEAKER_00]: You're finished.

01:06:39.187 --> 01:06:41.356
[SPEAKER_00]: Elsewhere on Monday Night Raw.

01:06:41.878 --> 01:06:46.817
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say my favorite match of the night was the six-man tag involving

01:06:47.945 --> 01:06:57.935
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Lee, penned to the IC Champion, Javon Evans versus the team of Los Americanos at El Gronday, Americano.

01:06:58.215 --> 01:06:59.517
[SPEAKER_00]: This is all action, man.

01:06:59.577 --> 01:07:00.938
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was great.

01:07:01.278 --> 01:07:12.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Just high flying, given the people a crowd, pleasing finish with everybody taking dives and doing destroyers and Javon hitting a super cutter on Rio for the wind, for the wind.

01:07:12.710 --> 01:07:13.291
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.

01:07:13.671 --> 01:07:17.715
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a lot of fun and Ray Cubs out as you said earlier,

01:07:17.695 --> 01:07:21.601
[SPEAKER_00]: Last year, WrestleMania, I missed a due to an injury this year.

01:07:22.001 --> 01:07:24.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I won in this latter match.

01:07:24.986 --> 01:07:26.929
[SPEAKER_00]: And Pint is like, let's do it.

01:07:27.349 --> 01:07:28.772
[SPEAKER_00]: I did love Javans face.

01:07:29.132 --> 01:07:30.154
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like, what the fuck?

01:07:31.115 --> 01:07:36.463
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he was, but then he was like, oh, man, I get to wrestle race.

01:07:36.747 --> 01:07:40.674
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he went from oh hell no to I get to wrestle one of my heroes.

01:07:40.975 --> 01:07:41.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:07:41.396 --> 01:07:41.496
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:07:41.516 --> 01:07:41.616
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:07:41.636 --> 01:07:42.177
[SPEAKER_01]: There he go.

01:07:42.237 --> 01:07:42.898
[SPEAKER_01]: Perspective.

01:07:43.419 --> 01:07:43.680
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:07:43.700 --> 01:07:43.860
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:43.980
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:07:44.001 --> 01:07:44.842
[SPEAKER_01]: It was cool.

01:07:44.962 --> 01:07:48.629
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I mean, I mean, they should honestly, he should win.

01:07:48.649 --> 01:07:51.034
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't think he will, but he should.

01:07:51.054 --> 01:07:53.298
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, give the crowd a nice, you know, go home.

01:07:53.318 --> 01:07:54.801
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, nice, feel good moment.

01:07:55.342 --> 01:07:56.965
[SPEAKER_01]: If it's on him, then it should be divine.

01:07:57.105 --> 01:07:59.329
[SPEAKER_01]: But yes, I think it should be.

01:07:59.478 --> 01:08:03.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I wanted to be Javan, just to make him WrestleMania.

01:08:03.683 --> 01:08:10.211
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you have to win this first major championship, that would be everything because I can only imagine he's going to do in that match.

01:08:10.672 --> 01:08:15.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I don't want there to be like, well, if it doesn't win this match, well, you have money in the bank in September.

01:08:16.078 --> 01:08:18.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, no, I don't want to wait for months.

01:08:18.261 --> 01:08:21.305
[SPEAKER_00]: Just give me this win now and make somebody.

01:08:21.385 --> 01:08:22.186
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the goal.

01:08:22.206 --> 01:08:27.072
[SPEAKER_00]: I do wonder if there's going to be another entrant in this match, potentially.

01:08:27.794 --> 01:08:32.280
[SPEAKER_00]: who risked the sticks, who I would love that actually.

01:08:32.300 --> 01:08:32.400
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:08:33.020 --> 01:08:36.945
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it could be, I mean, it could, you know, I don't want to make it an even eight.

01:08:37.766 --> 01:08:39.488
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you know, what was doing?

01:08:39.889 --> 01:08:44.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, didn't that the, I mean, it's not a money in the bank, but that's kind of what it's starting to feel like it is.

01:08:45.015 --> 01:08:49.140
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the original one had the one that Jericho did.

01:08:49.240 --> 01:08:51.283
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, I mean, you could do that whoever's left.

01:08:51.323 --> 01:08:53.886
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's a few people I don't have matches,

01:08:54.794 --> 01:08:56.336
[SPEAKER_00]: Show, still are incoming.

01:08:56.736 --> 01:08:57.738
[SPEAKER_01]: Long time overnight.

01:08:58.178 --> 01:08:58.719
[SPEAKER_01]: Jelly roll.

01:08:59.600 --> 01:08:59.981
[UNKNOWN]: God.

01:09:00.361 --> 01:09:00.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep that.

01:09:01.002 --> 01:09:02.123
[SPEAKER_01]: Check the roll.

01:09:02.143 --> 01:09:02.744
[SPEAKER_01]: Must feel.

01:09:03.165 --> 01:09:03.585
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:09:03.605 --> 01:09:04.066
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

01:09:04.246 --> 01:09:05.828
[SPEAKER_01]: No, Ray Phoenix.

01:09:05.868 --> 01:09:06.689
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that'd be cool.

01:09:06.749 --> 01:09:10.073
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe, oh, well, Grande.

01:09:10.814 --> 01:09:10.974
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:09:11.996 --> 01:09:13.758
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.

01:09:13.778 --> 01:09:14.559
[SPEAKER_00]: Grande of Americana.

01:09:14.579 --> 01:09:15.420
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not in the match, is he?

01:09:16.421 --> 01:09:16.922
[SPEAKER_00]: No, he's not.

01:09:16.962 --> 01:09:20.126
[SPEAKER_00]: He wanted to be in the side of the match, but that's not to be the right now.

01:09:20.506 --> 01:09:21.107
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

01:09:21.147 --> 01:09:21.848
[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.

01:09:22.773 --> 01:09:23.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, indeed.

01:09:23.634 --> 01:09:35.110
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we had, and then we had Seth Rollins coming out to talk about Gunther and him going to a business deal with Paul Hammond and now you've made this very personal if you're throwing in with him.

01:09:35.892 --> 01:09:47.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Gunther tries to attack sets behind that backfires and then we get them scrapping and fighting at a ring side, which I greatly enjoyed into a

01:09:47.528 --> 01:10:05.200
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I think, obviously, this is going to be one of the best matches of the entire weekend, dependent on which night it goes on, but good heat for that, and I think that the story should be that if Gunther is helping Paul Hamon, the favor must be at some point in the future, I get my hands on Brock Lesnar.

01:10:07.205 --> 01:10:08.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:10:08.687 --> 01:10:08.847
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:10:09.829 --> 01:10:12.012
[SPEAKER_01]: That's that has to be where this is going.

01:10:12.592 --> 01:10:24.288
[SPEAKER_01]: Although, you know, there was a little bit of a wrinkle thrown into it at the, at the end there with, you know, where, where Gunther says, yeah, I know it is personal, but not for the reason that he thinks it is.

01:10:25.129 --> 01:10:32.840
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm wondering if they're going to go back to the, was it the first night of champions?

01:10:33.381 --> 01:10:35.203
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it, was it, was it Gunther

01:10:36.095 --> 01:10:40.066
[SPEAKER_01]: and Seth beat him, or am I the completely making this up?

01:10:40.206 --> 01:10:51.657
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember some big match with Gunther and Seth and I'm trying to look it up as we speak, but yeah, so I'm wondering if that's where they're going, but other than that, like I have no idea.

01:10:52.042 --> 01:10:58.551
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think I want to correct you, I think am I been crowned jewel and it was gump the versus Cody and Cody.

01:10:58.571 --> 01:10:59.212
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, okay.

01:10:59.232 --> 01:11:00.094
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's okay.

01:11:00.114 --> 01:11:00.815
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not it then.

01:11:01.095 --> 01:11:02.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:11:02.097 --> 01:11:13.493
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I wonder what it was, but I am curious because I think they're trying to tell you it's not what you think it is, but there is something and hopefully we'll find out.

01:11:14.148 --> 01:11:16.091
[SPEAKER_01]: hopefully they haven't wrestled in seven years.

01:11:16.532 --> 01:11:17.433
[SPEAKER_01]: That's wild.

01:11:18.034 --> 01:11:18.395
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:11:18.655 --> 01:11:19.557
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:11:20.418 --> 01:11:20.598
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:11:20.719 --> 01:11:20.859
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:11:20.879 --> 01:11:23.483
[SPEAKER_01]: 2019 according to Chris Van Blendley.

01:11:23.984 --> 01:11:24.324
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

01:11:24.865 --> 01:11:25.146
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:11:25.166 --> 01:11:26.628
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have thought for sure they'd gone.

01:11:26.648 --> 01:11:29.172
[SPEAKER_01]: They did gone since then, but I guess not.

01:11:29.192 --> 01:11:29.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Me too.

01:11:30.334 --> 01:11:30.434
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:11:30.454 --> 01:11:32.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Should be a great match nonetheless.

01:11:32.337 --> 01:11:33.239
[SPEAKER_00]: We're hey.

01:11:33.259 --> 01:11:40.290
[SPEAKER_00]: If we got the Pat McAfee secret and I was telling what this reasoning is about in this match of WrestleMania for sure.

01:11:40.270 --> 01:11:42.193
[SPEAKER_00]: in a wild segment.

01:11:42.253 --> 01:11:46.859
[SPEAKER_00]: We had Stephanie Vicarre do it like a pre-tab video on live Morgan.

01:11:46.899 --> 01:11:51.225
[SPEAKER_00]: She talked that talk in English and Spanish, which I enjoyed.

01:11:51.645 --> 01:12:03.561
[SPEAKER_00]: What I will say for the airtime they're getting, I told you this, when they go fight and brawl, they're laying their

01:12:03.541 --> 01:12:21.582
[SPEAKER_00]: live and Roxanne because their nogans really hit each other when Stephanie attacked live and behind because she said it's on site and there was really on site from behind and then she made it worse when she threw live into the television monitor.

01:12:21.963 --> 01:12:26.308
[SPEAKER_00]: So I hope they're not rocked with the legit concussion because good lord.

01:12:27.740 --> 01:12:51.317
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, that looked nasty and I mean, man, you'd hate for something to happen, like in just, you know, I don't want to say throw away, but kind of was a throw away thing like they didn't need to do that last part, but it was cool, like the way it happened, because I mean, they're right in the middle of cutting the same, you know, like skit, you see every single week and then all of a sudden Stephanie's just out of nowhere and just bonks them together and it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

01:12:51.297 --> 01:12:51.818
[SPEAKER_01]: Shits on.

01:12:52.660 --> 01:12:54.604
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it was, yeah, it was cool.

01:12:54.704 --> 01:13:02.901
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm believing it, even though, you know, obviously it's not real, but I mean, they're helping you get rid of that.

01:13:03.162 --> 01:13:07.551
[SPEAKER_01]: What's what's the

01:13:07.818 --> 01:13:12.905
[SPEAKER_01]: blurring the lines of reality like they're helping with that a little bit because you really get the feeling she's pissed off.

01:13:12.925 --> 01:13:22.198
[SPEAKER_01]: What she called her, uh, uh, a, uh, a channel line that she used it close with bitch, um, drainless, brainless bitch.

01:13:22.638 --> 01:13:23.239
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:13:23.960 --> 01:13:24.921
[SPEAKER_00]: That was awesome.

01:13:25.943 --> 01:13:35.496
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, I know this guy doesn't believe me, but these two,

01:13:36.387 --> 01:13:37.829
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to give you strong style.

01:13:37.869 --> 01:13:43.578
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm afraid because they're going to lay it in like they don't lay it in.

01:13:43.638 --> 01:13:46.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I'm going to say last week that I might still show.

01:13:46.642 --> 01:13:47.183
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it this one?

01:13:47.543 --> 01:13:50.708
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this one could still the show.

01:13:50.768 --> 01:13:54.093
[SPEAKER_00]: They heat has to be there, but good God.

01:13:54.313 --> 01:13:56.557
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they don't lay it in in this match.

01:13:56.697 --> 01:13:58.159
[SPEAKER_00]: I do believe that.

01:13:58.139 --> 01:14:02.105
[SPEAKER_00]: despite like the limited airtime they've been getting in terms of backstage promos, the segments.

01:14:02.565 --> 01:14:06.051
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think that when that bill rings at WrestleMania, it's going to go crazy.

01:14:06.491 --> 01:14:10.858
[SPEAKER_00]: And it looks like Liv has a very special entrance for WrestleMania based on the teaser.

01:14:11.318 --> 01:14:13.361
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, they're going all in for this.

01:14:14.463 --> 01:14:16.826
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, well, yeah, I can't wait.

01:14:17.387 --> 01:14:19.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just, it's gotta be heated.

01:14:19.510 --> 01:14:21.133
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, it's good spot on the car.

01:14:21.193 --> 01:14:24.197
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the key to this working for sure.

01:14:24.481 --> 01:14:38.004
[SPEAKER_00]: And then after that, we have another heat segment involving J. Cargill and her baddies, Mechan and B-Fab is a saw, Takti match action against Rear Ripley and Eosky, Mattress Fine.

01:14:38.505 --> 01:14:43.333
[SPEAKER_00]: The story was after EO got the win by rolling up, I believe.

01:14:43.313 --> 01:14:45.816
[SPEAKER_00]: BFAP for the victory if I'm not mistaken.

01:14:45.876 --> 01:14:47.157
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm right about that.

01:14:47.898 --> 01:14:54.166
[SPEAKER_00]: It was basically Jade using the baddies to hold Rhea and she used the Kind of Stick to beat up E.O.

01:14:54.206 --> 01:15:11.886
[SPEAKER_00]: Sky, hit the jaded and I thought that was good heat to boot into this match, so Rhea still can't have a good day even when she wins a tag to match and I am dreading what they're going to do because

01:15:11.866 --> 01:15:19.750
[SPEAKER_00]: To be in Ria's corner, I don't like that because last check, she has beef with Ria.

01:15:19.770 --> 01:15:21.375
[SPEAKER_00]: As right.

01:15:21.776 --> 01:15:22.097
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:15:22.117 --> 01:15:23.361
[SPEAKER_00]: So why would you help her?

01:15:23.999 --> 01:15:26.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, maybe you got more beef with Jade, I guess.

01:15:26.303 --> 01:15:27.424
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, essentially.

01:15:27.665 --> 01:15:28.606
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:15:28.626 --> 01:15:39.623
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, they're advertising EO as being in the corner, which is interesting, because they also seem to be building in Asuka EO match, but I don't think that's going to be on Mania.

01:15:39.924 --> 01:15:40.745
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope I'm wrong.

01:15:41.907 --> 01:15:45.452
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, so it's, yeah, I mean, she doesn't need to even the sides.

01:15:45.512 --> 01:15:48.437
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was wondering who was going to come out and make save?

01:15:48.417 --> 01:15:50.160
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, and there was just E.O.

01:15:50.240 --> 01:15:52.184
[SPEAKER_01]: and then they, you know, got ready to hurt pretty quickly.

01:15:52.404 --> 01:15:53.827
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the angle that they did.

01:15:53.887 --> 01:15:57.554
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this was this was probably the best thing they've done for this match.

01:15:57.814 --> 01:16:04.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, like the, you know, the post match attack, you know, holding rear back while Jay just demolished E.O.

01:16:04.927 --> 01:16:05.388
[SPEAKER_01]: and E.O.

01:16:05.408 --> 01:16:06.710
[SPEAKER_01]: sold it like a million bucks.

01:16:06.951 --> 01:16:08.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Jay looked.

01:16:08.093 --> 01:16:10.597
[SPEAKER_01]: as good as she's looked at since she turned heel.

01:16:10.797 --> 01:16:26.119
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought in here like just she looked dangerous and and that's good and B-Fab always has this like look on her face like I'm not sure exactly where I am and what I'm supposed to be doing and she didn't have that this this week so that's a plus.

01:16:26.572 --> 01:16:27.713
[SPEAKER_00]: definitely for sure.

01:16:27.733 --> 01:16:31.998
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say this is another match and might surprise at WrestleMania.

01:16:32.038 --> 01:16:45.912
[SPEAKER_00]: If they can just collaborate and say this is what we're going to do, let them go out there and just have a big hospital lay their shit in and have a really good match and just play through shrinks.

01:16:45.932 --> 01:16:50.837
[SPEAKER_00]: If they can have a conversation and lay it out there, it should be good.

01:16:51.178 --> 01:16:53.440
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it could be a sleeper

01:16:54.027 --> 01:16:54.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:16:54.508 --> 01:16:55.470
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:16:55.710 --> 01:16:56.311
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

01:16:56.392 --> 01:17:02.844
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, I, anything above like two stars is probably over to the frame with Jade.

01:17:02.864 --> 01:17:06.130
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I, I, I'm going in with low expectations.

01:17:06.190 --> 01:17:10.298
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm, I'm preparing to be pleasantly surprised.

01:17:11.020 --> 01:17:13.965
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that your expectations are going to be exceeded in a good way.

01:17:14.406 --> 01:17:15.608
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe that.

01:17:15.708 --> 01:17:16.129
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope so.

01:17:17.411 --> 01:17:17.511
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:17:17.531 --> 01:17:17.632
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:17:17.652 --> 01:17:19.255
[SPEAKER_01]: But if not, then hey, I said it.

01:17:20.136 --> 01:17:24.664
[SPEAKER_01]: So like you, I'm the exact opposite of you with swipe right in the young bucks.

01:17:27.048 --> 01:17:28.611
[SPEAKER_00]: You're hedging in your convictions.

01:17:29.092 --> 01:17:30.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm shooting for the floor.

01:17:30.735 --> 01:17:33.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you are like, listen.

01:17:34.915 --> 01:17:41.888
[SPEAKER_00]: The floor is there and we're going to go there for Nando says Janice a list and to re uh, well, we're going to see.

01:17:42.129 --> 01:17:48.421
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that is a list of each other and see what they can each break through the table and then just do it and just go.

01:17:48.441 --> 01:17:50.445
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm ball out this all they can do at this point.

01:17:50.485 --> 01:17:51.046
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my hope.

01:17:51.487 --> 01:17:53.751
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my wish and we shall see.

01:17:53.731 --> 01:18:00.811
[SPEAKER_00]: So the main event of mine at raw as they're brand the credits early, like they sell this and there's going to be fitting and Paul the Vickless it all.

01:18:00.831 --> 01:18:02.375
[SPEAKER_00]: He's trading marks and stuff out of here.

01:18:02.736 --> 01:18:04.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Like let's just get the credits done.

01:18:04.581 --> 01:18:08.753
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure if it was weird or was that or the way they actually ended.

01:18:08.733 --> 01:18:10.135
[SPEAKER_00]: which was weird.

01:18:10.635 --> 01:18:11.917
[SPEAKER_00]: So they just ran the credits.

01:18:11.937 --> 01:18:17.824
[SPEAKER_00]: Paula that comes out there alongside Adam Pierce, then Paul Hayman introduces Brock Lesnar he comes out there.

01:18:18.385 --> 01:18:21.909
[SPEAKER_00]: Followed by Oberfemi, who gets this amazing entrance.

01:18:22.329 --> 01:18:24.692
[SPEAKER_00]: They remix his song in some ways, which is okay.

01:18:25.113 --> 01:18:26.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Lighting, great.

01:18:26.474 --> 01:18:27.496
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd loves it.

01:18:27.676 --> 01:18:29.458
[SPEAKER_00]: They're doing the Oberdance.

01:18:29.540 --> 01:18:30.221
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:18:30.241 --> 01:18:30.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:18:30.381 --> 01:18:32.823
[SPEAKER_00]: Fans are doing the Oberdance.

01:18:32.843 --> 01:18:33.784
[SPEAKER_00]: They're fighting the people.

01:18:34.104 --> 01:18:37.527
[SPEAKER_00]: We got children bring this grown ass man doing it.

01:18:37.908 --> 01:18:39.149
[SPEAKER_00]: This is great.

01:18:39.389 --> 01:18:44.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Oberd is a God and he comes out there and Brock knows, you know, what is on site tonight.

01:18:45.074 --> 01:18:47.856
[SPEAKER_00]: So he tries to get the jump on Ober that backfires.

01:18:47.897 --> 01:18:51.880
[SPEAKER_00]: They brawl pull apart securities after trying to break things up.

01:18:52.200 --> 01:18:59.547
[SPEAKER_00]: They keep fighting through the security to get to each other and then what I love about this is the fact that Oberd

01:18:59.527 --> 01:19:07.157
[SPEAKER_00]: said, you know what, I'm just not going to put you through a table, I'm going to put myself through it too.

01:19:07.317 --> 01:19:25.180
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to crash this table with you because it's not going to be like you're going to get different hand on me know like we're both going through this table through my power and force and they did it and then after that Brock throws the office chair at Obo and that is when the show ends.

01:19:25.160 --> 01:19:46.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just yeah screen went black and yeah it was something and yeah you sure got the feeling and I just literally just now got a text from somebody who's watching raw on a delay and it's like Brock and over has to be the main event since the game um yeah it's I mean it's it's funny because him and it's been calling into main event the whole time

01:19:46.962 --> 01:19:54.954
[SPEAKER_01]: it's felt like a main event every single time that they've done anything and every time it gets better and better and better.

01:19:55.054 --> 01:19:56.316
[SPEAKER_01]: And this was the best thing they've done.

01:19:57.117 --> 01:20:12.720
[SPEAKER_01]: And Brock, I mean, you can see that Brock knows what this guy has and is and he is going to do whatever he can to make sure he gets as much out of this as he can for Oba.

01:20:13.120 --> 01:20:14.843
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not even about himself.

01:20:14.823 --> 01:20:33.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, it brought me to not everyone thinks he's a selfish guy, but Brock just does what he's hired to do and the fact is, is they look at him as, you know, the way he's always been and and you know, he's gotten all these breaks because he's Brock Lesnar and he looks like he does and he wrestles like he does, but now it's time to

01:20:33.858 --> 01:20:37.727
[SPEAKER_01]: Turn it over to the next guy and Brock is there.

01:20:37.967 --> 01:20:38.869
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what he's hired to do.

01:20:39.070 --> 01:20:41.836
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm sure he's going to do what he's supposed to do that night.

01:20:42.096 --> 01:20:43.640
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can't wait.

01:20:44.021 --> 01:20:49.032
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, if I fork out my money to see this show like if I can only go to one show.

01:20:49.889 --> 01:20:52.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I'm going to the one that open Brock is on.

01:20:52.472 --> 01:20:59.541
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's no question as much as I'm into punk and Roman and if those are both on the same show, I'll tell you right now I'm going to that show and I'm not going to the other one.

01:21:00.022 --> 01:21:00.522
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:21:00.543 --> 01:21:10.395
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but if I can get reasonably priced tickets to both shows, I'll try to go to both, but if I can only go to one, it'll be that I want to see open Brock like that that's it that's that's my main event.

01:21:11.911 --> 01:21:18.678
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this would be the main event of night one, how they handed it tonight, especially Paula Vekazat there.

01:21:19.219 --> 01:21:22.842
[SPEAKER_00]: He is not out there for any other, main, main image.

01:21:23.383 --> 01:21:25.065
[SPEAKER_00]: He is only out here for this.

01:21:25.105 --> 01:21:30.771
[SPEAKER_00]: And if that's the case, this must close out night one of Resumania.

01:21:31.552 --> 01:21:36.877
[SPEAKER_00]: My apologies to Cody and Randy Blame Ari manual in TKO.

01:21:37.298 --> 01:21:41.462
[SPEAKER_00]: Blame them for taking your opportunity to main event.

01:21:41.442 --> 01:21:42.704
[SPEAKER_00]: It is gone.

01:21:42.744 --> 01:21:51.356
[SPEAKER_01]: The only way that it couldn't happen is possibly if ESPN has demanded that they get the Brock match on ESPN.

01:21:52.017 --> 01:21:58.607
[SPEAKER_01]: The guy could see that, you know, if that's an ESPN call, they might be out of their hands.

01:21:58.587 --> 01:22:00.350
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but I don't know that.

01:22:00.390 --> 01:22:01.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not, you know, I'm, but I'm just saying like that.

01:22:02.134 --> 01:22:11.472
[SPEAKER_01]: When this match, like when they first announced that they were doing an hour each night on ESPN, I think it's one hour, I just assumed the Brock Lesnar match was going to be one of those.

01:22:12.574 --> 01:22:16.461
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I figured whatever, you know, jelly roll was doing would probably be the other one.

01:22:17.200 --> 01:22:24.869
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, at this point, like if it's WWE's choice, I think it's got to be this.

01:22:24.930 --> 01:22:31.898
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you can put Pat McAfee, you know, in with Randy and Cody, as you mentioned at the beginning of the show, on the SPN part.

01:22:32.399 --> 01:22:34.481
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's fine, like that, you know, that works.

01:22:34.561 --> 01:22:38.827
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, honestly, it doesn't even have to be night one, it could be night two.

01:22:39.247 --> 01:22:44.794
[SPEAKER_01]: Because then you get punk and Pat in the same building at the same time.

01:22:44.774 --> 01:22:47.102
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, because there's clearly something going on there too.

01:22:47.824 --> 01:22:52.540
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think punks mentioning Pat, you know, if they're not if they don't have some sort of plans there.

01:22:52.739 --> 01:22:54.581
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree for sure there.

01:22:54.701 --> 01:23:03.092
[SPEAKER_00]: So Lucy, how it goes, the theory of ESPN wanting Brock, I understand it at the same time.

01:23:03.152 --> 01:23:06.176
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure I make money on my app, right?

01:23:06.436 --> 01:23:06.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:23:06.797 --> 01:23:07.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:23:07.658 --> 01:23:08.319
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:23:08.339 --> 01:23:12.965
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe they do an angle on the ESPN portion to get you to the app.

01:23:13.405 --> 01:23:13.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:23:13.806 --> 01:23:14.186
[SPEAKER_01]: Do that.

01:23:14.507 --> 01:23:15.107
[SPEAKER_01]: You could do that.

01:23:15.167 --> 01:23:15.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:23:15.588 --> 01:23:33.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, and, and, uh, yeah, I mean, yeah, tomorrow or later today, I guess will be the tell, like, you know, how these matches are laid out, like, you know, I expect obviously both men's world title matches to be on separate nights, both women's world title match to be on separate nights, Brock Oba and Drew.

01:23:33.357 --> 01:23:53.830
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, maybe Drew Jacob and Seth Gunther on separate nights, and then yeah, and then, you know, where this Brock match ends up like that's the key, whether it's night one or night two and obviously could be Could be the night two main event honestly, like the way the way they've been going, but I mean, I think we take night one.

01:23:54.316 --> 01:24:00.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, night one, night two be wild if they were able to you serve punk and Roman wish.

01:24:00.403 --> 01:24:04.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're going to do, but night one, I definitely think is up for grabs.

01:24:04.908 --> 01:24:15.340
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, has, I mean, you know, in terms of anticipation, I mean, I don't know anybody that is going to tell you unless you just don't like Brock.

01:24:15.360 --> 01:24:16.822
[SPEAKER_01]: And I totally understand that.

01:24:16.842 --> 01:24:19.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like there's a lot of people that, and you know, you've talked about it too.

01:24:19.865 --> 01:24:22.628
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but you get to see Brock get beat up.

01:24:23.149 --> 01:24:26.293
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's, you know, that's, that's, that's the flip side of that.

01:24:27.134 --> 01:24:43.273
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, I mean, you know, and if, and if Roman and punk is night one, I mean, I know, that also gives them some ammunition, you know, like, you know, that, you know, you couldn't even do night two because I'm with you, you know, both of them would do.

01:24:43.253 --> 01:24:46.620
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, shade, I can't main event because of you.

01:24:46.660 --> 01:25:00.908
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be wild to say, but we'll see for sure how this all goes when we get the cards released and announced today on get up at 9 35 AM Eastern on ESPN and before we go to the tweet.

01:25:00.888 --> 01:25:10.166
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be at work and I'll be like in like 35 minutes into my job for the day.

01:25:10.186 --> 01:25:11.930
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be on my phone.

01:25:12.430 --> 01:25:14.675
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be on my phone and I'll just look at it like there we go.

01:25:14.695 --> 01:25:15.336
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the answer.

01:25:15.396 --> 01:25:16.378
[SPEAKER_00]: There we go.

01:25:16.458 --> 01:25:18.863
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll go to the fight game media discord and it'll all be there.

01:25:18.843 --> 01:25:19.264
[SPEAKER_00]: there.

01:25:19.545 --> 01:25:22.552
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be my swear, too, where I just go and say, okay, there we go.

01:25:22.832 --> 01:25:23.554
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's our answer.

01:25:24.115 --> 01:25:26.340
[SPEAKER_00]: But before we go, we've talked about Pat McAfee a lot.

01:25:26.360 --> 01:25:31.572
[SPEAKER_00]: We alluded to his comments on some act down this past Friday at the opening of the show.

01:25:31.612 --> 01:25:33.156
[SPEAKER_00]: And

01:25:33.794 --> 01:25:42.506
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul your thoughts on what Pat Mack we had to say, saying that he wants to go back to the good old days of the attitude era.

01:25:42.946 --> 01:25:49.655
[SPEAKER_00]: And he hates this era that we're in right now that we're not selling tickets and that SmackDown sucks on Cage match.

01:25:50.076 --> 01:25:59.548
[SPEAKER_00]: And we got to bring back true professional wrestling by way of Randy Orton, who was apparently the face of the attitude era,

01:25:59.528 --> 01:26:04.875
[SPEAKER_00]: even though he became a star during the ruthless aggression era in 2004.

01:26:05.836 --> 01:26:12.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's ironic that he brought up, because I was wondering, what is he talking about the lowest rated smackdown of all time?

01:26:12.564 --> 01:26:14.707
[SPEAKER_01]: And then yeah, I realized he's talking about Cage match.

01:26:14.727 --> 01:26:16.228
[SPEAKER_01]: And then that show did a worse rating.

01:26:17.850 --> 01:26:24.118
[SPEAKER_01]: Because of his promo, like that's the only reason I could think of because the rest of the show, I mean, the show was fine.

01:26:24.098 --> 01:26:32.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Like other than that opening, but that opening promo was so bad that if people want to give it a zero out of 10 for the whole show because of it that I'm not going to argue too hard to do.

01:26:33.391 --> 01:26:42.343
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, it was it was non-sensical it was counterproductive from what I understand like they didn't even give my script.

01:26:42.323 --> 01:26:54.774
[SPEAKER_01]: They just went out there and told him to go off, you know, like they gave my general framework, but and he probably went over the line a couple times and, you know, the line about five foot five guys doing 45 minute iron matches every week.

01:26:54.814 --> 01:27:04.343
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what the hell is he talking about, you know, like there's, you know, if it is at a shot at, you know, NXT from 10 years ago, is it a shot at AEW?

01:27:04.463 --> 01:27:06.725
[SPEAKER_01]: It's certainly not anything to do with WWE.

01:27:08.006 --> 01:27:12.010
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was, it was just weird.

01:27:11.990 --> 01:27:31.078
[SPEAKER_01]: that your product sucks not only like that building had but 11 to 12,000 people in it that obviously paid a lot of money and you're telling them oh by the way this product's not hot and it sucks and you're all a bunch of idiots because you're here like you know I don't know

01:27:32.628 --> 01:27:33.769
[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely a choice.

01:27:34.090 --> 01:27:34.710
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, punk.

01:27:34.810 --> 01:27:41.017
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, tonight was, you know, he kind of said the same thing without saying it, like, you know, like, yeah, the tickets are too high.

01:27:41.057 --> 01:27:51.548
[SPEAKER_01]: So lower them, you know, where is he, you know, this guy is like almost like, oh, man, we should charge more because Randy Orton, you know, it's like, okay, and he's the other thing.

01:27:51.748 --> 01:27:54.992
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it was thinking about this match has been announced for two months.

01:27:55.912 --> 01:27:57.214
[SPEAKER_01]: So what is he saying?

01:27:57.654 --> 01:27:58.315
[SPEAKER_01]: Like,

01:27:58.919 --> 01:28:06.869
[SPEAKER_01]: there shouldn't be tickets available because this is Randy Orton, but there are, so maybe Randy's the problem, you know what I mean?

01:28:06.929 --> 01:28:25.332
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's, it's not Cody and Cody actually, you know, he came back with a pretty solid problem later on in the night, although he went off a little bit too, but you know, where he's like, hey, I set records with, you know, Roman and the rock and John Cena and yeah, those are all big stars, but you know what they wrestled me?

01:28:25.312 --> 01:28:43.422
[SPEAKER_01]: And, and yeah, and so he, you know, he's basically defending when he's defending TKO, which is kind of weird, but yeah, it was, I don't, I don't, I don't like the direction they went, but if it all ends with him taking a stoner from Stone Cold, I suppose it's fine, but it didn't need to happen.

01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:54.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, whole segment I did not understand that you don't explain why your company sucks here at the reasons why and then some of the fans are like, yeah, you're right.

01:28:54.882 --> 01:28:59.672
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, Lord, you're not helping his situation either, but most of them are just like,

01:28:59.652 --> 01:29:01.414
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know how to respond to this.

01:29:01.794 --> 01:29:03.296
[SPEAKER_00]: This is very confusing to me.

01:29:04.117 --> 01:29:05.699
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was confusing to me too.

01:29:06.160 --> 01:29:09.263
[SPEAKER_00]: Pat McAfee, I used to enjoy his work.

01:29:09.684 --> 01:29:10.665
[SPEAKER_00]: Not so much now.

01:29:10.825 --> 01:29:13.348
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the promo was very unbelievable.

01:29:13.829 --> 01:29:15.991
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't buy his delivery at all.

01:29:16.311 --> 01:29:20.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I think he's very smart when it comes to professional wrestling.

01:29:20.396 --> 01:29:22.959
[SPEAKER_00]: He knows, on his face, this is stupid.

01:29:23.360 --> 01:29:25.682
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're trying your very best to sell it verbally.

01:29:26.063 --> 01:29:28.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me try to speak with conviction.

01:29:28.846 --> 01:29:45.078
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't believe a word he said during that entire promo, it is a lack that extra level of believability because nothing about it was believable and then you know is bad when Cody has to damage control to basically undo everything he said to hours prior.

01:29:45.118 --> 01:29:46.821
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like

01:29:46.801 --> 01:29:56.238
[SPEAKER_00]: We did this to boost Nariety for Pat McAfee on ESPN to boost ticket sales, I guess, and viewership numbers for ESPN.

01:29:56.638 --> 01:30:01.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Good luck with that because you put your host in a very interesting predicament.

01:30:01.507 --> 01:30:05.434
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he's got to go K-Fave on his radio show for

01:30:05.414 --> 01:30:06.916
[SPEAKER_00]: 30 minutes an episode.

01:30:07.296 --> 01:30:15.307
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be a WWE world and he's got to play it both ways heading into WrestleMania with people interviewing from WWE.

01:30:15.587 --> 01:30:19.512
[SPEAKER_00]: The very people he might be insulting and mocking via his promos.

01:30:20.113 --> 01:30:22.356
[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting choice is there for sure.

01:30:22.516 --> 01:30:24.919
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he has Cody on at some point.

01:30:25.300 --> 01:30:27.042
[SPEAKER_00]: He had him, but they canceled.

01:30:27.502 --> 01:30:29.445
[SPEAKER_00]: This was why.

01:30:29.906 --> 01:30:32.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, that's K-Fade, but yeah.

01:30:32.048 --> 01:30:32.569
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:30:32.785 --> 01:30:35.568
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they'll probably have Triple H on at some point though.

01:30:36.029 --> 01:30:41.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, once flies me and all of you on Ody's show this week.

01:30:41.535 --> 01:30:42.776
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they were advertising that.

01:30:42.877 --> 01:30:47.081
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I mean, if I'm Cody, I'm like, hey, what the hell was that?

01:30:47.101 --> 01:30:50.886
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we're going to get that question.

01:30:51.486 --> 01:30:55.271
[SPEAKER_01]: No, so just a choice, not a good one.

01:30:55.631 --> 01:31:01.678
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a year in DX and you guys put sausages in your chunks and

01:31:05.219 --> 01:31:09.525
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm fine, however, is that to do my job, wrestling was a reliability.

01:31:09.545 --> 01:31:11.287
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what that was.

01:31:12.689 --> 01:31:13.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man.

01:31:13.550 --> 01:31:14.891
[SPEAKER_00]: But that was that segment.

01:31:15.272 --> 01:31:15.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:31:16.413 --> 01:31:16.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:31:16.814 --> 01:31:17.895
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was something.

01:31:18.496 --> 01:31:19.638
[SPEAKER_00]: It was something to behold.

01:31:20.399 --> 01:31:22.601
[SPEAKER_00]: Bearing your own company was wild.

01:31:23.102 --> 01:31:26.907
[SPEAKER_00]: That is WCW 2000 level of what's going on.

01:31:26.887 --> 01:31:36.701
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and the problem is, like I said, I don't think that Pat even understood how counterproductive what he was doing was.

01:31:36.721 --> 01:31:42.729
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that he was taking inspiration from the stuff he watched as a kid.

01:31:43.471 --> 01:31:46.194
[SPEAKER_01]: And when he talks, like, I'm, that's the one part I believe.

01:31:46.375 --> 01:31:48.458
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe that he misses the attitude air.

01:31:48.838 --> 01:31:50.160
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe that.

01:31:50.140 --> 01:32:01.395
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's probably was the basis for this promo and so he's like saying, you know, like, oh, I wish, you know, essentially what he's almost like he's saying, oh, I wish we could go back to being TVMA.

01:32:02.096 --> 01:32:10.727
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and but no, we're in this, you know, TKO, you know, toothless aggression era where we got this Milky White baby face on top and it sucks.

01:32:11.648 --> 01:32:13.491
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's the just of what he was saying.

01:32:13.511 --> 01:32:17.616
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are probably the cold notes and then they said, okay, go do

01:32:18.237 --> 01:32:26.206
[SPEAKER_01]: and he went off and that one is direction that he probably shouldn't have gone and again like he probably didn't even understand what he was doing.

01:32:26.466 --> 01:32:45.207
[SPEAKER_01]: I think and then yeah then they had sent Cody off for damage call and then they sent punk out again tonight for damage control and honestly like the punk promo was pretty great so you know I don't think it was as good as the

01:32:46.925 --> 01:32:50.411
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like a neck, it was something, it was something to behold.

01:32:50.431 --> 01:32:51.573
[SPEAKER_01]: There's like a 10 and a 0.

01:32:52.094 --> 01:32:55.660
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but you know what, they don't combine to a 5 and 5 is no good.

01:32:56.141 --> 01:33:00.348
[SPEAKER_00]: If you run it off, it gives mid as a 5 for sure.

01:33:00.389 --> 01:33:05.237
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was our thoughts on SmackDown that one segment definitely said a lot.

01:33:05.217 --> 01:33:18.649
[SPEAKER_00]: and we'll see how it carries over into this week's television as we get ready for WrestleMania and excited and decide whether or not this match between Cody and Randy is worthy of a main event spot at the biggest show of the year.

01:33:19.250 --> 01:33:20.811
[SPEAKER_00]: But with that, that is a wrap.

01:33:20.891 --> 01:33:35.224
[SPEAKER_00]: For this week's episode of the wrap right here on the fucking media network YouTube channel, I want to thank Paul for sticking through this episode tonight to discuss all things that we

01:33:35.204 --> 01:33:42.754
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Keela, it's always a pleasure to chop it up with you here to quote Salty Scott.

01:33:43.375 --> 01:33:50.524
[SPEAKER_01]: I missed listening to Salty Scott, so hopefully he'll be back next week, previewing WrestleMania and reviewing it after the show.

01:33:51.185 --> 01:34:01.798
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely can't fill in on that show because I'll be in Vegas, but yeah, I was happy to do it and a good couple good rods that got to recapped.

01:34:01.818 --> 01:34:03.220
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was good.

01:34:03.200 --> 01:34:03.961
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.

01:34:03.981 --> 01:34:05.905
[SPEAKER_00]: We love you here as always.

01:34:05.985 --> 01:34:07.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for filling in for Scott.

01:34:07.889 --> 01:34:09.051
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll be back next week.

01:34:09.091 --> 01:34:17.006
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully it is going to be our WrestleMania Prediction Special, diving into both nights and who's going to be where and who's main eventing.

01:34:17.046 --> 01:34:18.188
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are the questions answered.

01:34:18.208 --> 01:34:21.033
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully next Monday and we're talking about it.

01:34:21.514 --> 01:34:26.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Very exciting to know that we are almost at the end of WrestleMania season.

01:34:26.403 --> 01:34:35.043
[SPEAKER_00]: and that we are looking forward to a very busy and fun week next week as we cover all things WrestleMania for your listening and viewing pleasure.

01:34:35.063 --> 01:34:43.863
[SPEAKER_00]: So until next week, enjoy the rest of WWE on television this week via NXT and SmackDown this Friday on USA.

01:34:43.924 --> 01:34:52.343
[SPEAKER_00]: So for myself and for
