WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:13.480
This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and
you're listening to the WWE podcast, the

2
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:26.199
show, the one that everybody wants
me god st sixteen said, I just

3
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:33.960
we your ass's mind. You can
acknowledge me. It's time for your WrestleMania

4
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.719
Night one review, and I've got
somebody very special with me. You guys

5
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.679
have heard her before, but this
is different because we have somebody who attended

6
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.840
live in person in Philadelphia last night
at the Lincoln Financial Center and we have

7
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:52.520
Chrissy back with us, and she
attended last night in person with her son,

8
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.320
and I'm very jealous. Although we
heard how cold it was about forty

9
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.679
eight times throughout the show from the
announcers, and we'll we'll find out if

10
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.719
that actually verified to be super cold
or not. And but before we get

11
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.439
into details and specifics, Chrissy,
welcome to the show. And how are

12
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.599
you feeling right now? I'm I'm
so glad to be back. I am

13
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.319
I don't even have the words to
describe how I feel. I am I'm

14
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.640
tired, but i am so it
was I was so overwhelmed, but I'm

15
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.840
also so grateful to have experienced that. This This was definitely a once in

16
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.120
a lifetime moment, something that was
on my bucket list, and to be

17
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.519
able to experience this with my son
was just so rewarding on top of that,

18
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.840
because I've you know, I've been
a fan since I was at his

19
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.599
age, So it was just it
was mind blowing. It felt like,

20
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.319
you know, going to Disney World
times five hundreds. I bet. I

21
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.200
mean, I have been to a
few, but as we talk quickly off

22
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.840
the air, it does drain you
mentally and physically. And I'm glad that

23
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.560
they've in a way that they have
split this into two nights, because could

24
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.319
you imagine sitting there for another four
hours for a show? I mean,

25
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:07.439
yeah, a lot at all.
And I've only done Rawl, SmackDown and

26
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.479
in some house shows. I've never
done a pl E, so I can't

27
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.479
compare this to any other you know, pl But so this was my first

28
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.960
really big show, and for the
fact that it was Wrestlemanny forty was huge.

29
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.360
So yeah, I cannot imagine if
this was another four hours. I

30
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.840
don't think the crowd people would have
left. I think it's based on how

31
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.520
everyone was behaving throughout the night.
I think people would have left if it

32
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.919
would have went on another four hours. Well that's well. Then that leads

33
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:36.520
me to my next question is because
there's a there's so much criticism online about

34
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.240
the crowd in Philly that you guys
were quiet and that there, you know,

35
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.000
they were outside of some huge moments
obviously the Rock and during that match,

36
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.479
you guys were loud and you heard
the r truth pop that was I

37
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.319
mean it was. It came across
really nicely on TV. But there were

38
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.199
a lot of moments that it felt
very quiet, and to be fair,

39
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.680
there may be some legitimate reasons.
There's no roof, so a lot of

40
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.199
sound escapes into the heavens. Also, it's cold, and your people aren't

41
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:06.080
really motivated to yell and scream as
much when it's as chilly as they say

42
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.599
it was. So did you feel
that same way in person that Wow,

43
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.439
this isn't as loud as I expected, or do you feel like, no,

44
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.439
we were yelling and screaming and it
just didn't translate on TV. No.

45
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:21.360
I one thousand percent was so shocked
by how quiet it was. There

46
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.039
were moments where I was wanting to
yell and scream, but it felt uncomfortable

47
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.599
because everyone else was so quiet.
But then there were moments where we were

48
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.400
definitely really loud, and I was
wondering, I wonder if this is coming

49
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.759
across on the screen certain matches,
but there were matches where the ladies match

50
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.159
with Bianca and Jia Naomi, it
was so it was so quiet, and

51
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.400
that was a matter. I was
really looking forward to you. And then

52
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.240
in my section there was you know, a few other women and we were

53
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.759
excited and we were high, but
no one else was, so it kind

54
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.319
of made us want to sink into
ourselves. I'm like, no one else

55
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.919
is screaming, let us let's just
sit down now. But yeah, I

56
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:06.479
would say I expected the audience and
it to be loud. I was almost

57
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.319
section I get Courtland headphones, like
that's how loud I thought it was going

58
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.840
to be, and it was not. Wow. There were definitely moments like

59
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:20.040
for the bulk of the show it
was very quiet, and even I'm probably

60
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.959
sure I pissed off some people behind
me. I was not standing, Like,

61
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.720
there was moments where I'm like this, you need to be standing.

62
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.480
Why why are there only a handful
of people standing in my little section which

63
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.920
I was in section in which is
like kind of club level section so it

64
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:40.399
was a smaller section. But I
was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as hype

65
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.360
as it was. And granted,
it was cold, and I'm from Tennessee.

66
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.720
I'm not from like Florida part and
stuff like, I know what cold

67
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.879
is, so we expected it.
We were layered. I think I got

68
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.360
a little bit of wind burn on
my nose. I feel like my nose

69
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.120
was sunburn this morning, just from
the wind. So it was cold,

70
00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:00.079
but I kept thinking we were at
WrestleMania. Stand up. Honestly, it

71
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.079
made me warmer from like standing up
and shouting. I'm like, this is

72
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:09.000
helping me stay warm. I was
quite surprised by how quiet the crowd was.

73
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.079
Granted, like I said, there
were moments, but it was significantly

74
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.360
quieter than I expected. It really
was, And there were certain moments,

75
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.160
especially and we'll get into Jimmy and
Jay, which was to me a massive

76
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.680
disappointment, and that was the crowd. I don't think knew what to do

77
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.480
with that match, and like you
said, with the women as well,

78
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.879
and we'll go match my match in
a moment. But I think, as

79
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:32.959
you're telling me this, it did
seem as cold as they were telling us,

80
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.360
even though David said it was fifty
degrees. Fifty two degrees, we

81
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.199
were getting a weather update from Michael
Cole over fifteen minutes, and I mean,

82
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.160
seriously, it was ridiculous. But
I'm sitting there, going it's fifty

83
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.000
two degrees. But wind does make
a massive difference, and perhaps that is

84
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.480
a contributing factor with people being a
little bit more subdued. And like you

85
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.920
said, if you're sitting there,
you feel the urge to yell and scream

86
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.360
and make noise as you should and
feel the right to do at a WrestleMania

87
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.560
event. If you have the rest
of your section sitting there, you feel

88
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.800
a little awkward if you're the only
one yelling and screaming. So it's kind

89
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.319
of a one of those deals where, well, I don't want to be

90
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:11.040
the weird person, and you know, even though it's WrestleMania, it's weird

91
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.480
that you have to feel that way. So I think that sound from what

92
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.639
you're telling me that the weather actually
did play a pretty big factor in people

93
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:23.279
not being yelling and jumping like they
normally would be a hundred percent. And

94
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.720
it was so funny because obviously we
couldn't hear what Michael Paul was saying,

95
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.839
but we could see on the stream
that they kept popping up the temperature and

96
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.360
it was like fifty two, and
I'm like, this feels like thirty.

97
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.240
Like this does not feel like fifty
two. Fifty two is pleasant. The

98
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.519
wing made it feel like it was
thirty something degrease. But I one hundred

99
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.480
percent agree that your section kind of
depends on it because there was a section

100
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.519
over from us, and I was
like, I want to be with them

101
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:51.199
over there. I always have to
ask this too, just quickly. Demographic

102
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:56.079
wise, young old, I'm guessing
family, probably a whole mix of people

103
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.600
or did you see a pattern of
certain types of people that were there.

104
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.279
It was definitely a good mix,
I would say. In our section,

105
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.600
Courtland was one of the I think
there was maybe four other kids, so

106
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.800
and so. There wasn't a lot
of children in our section, but I

107
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.000
think it was definitely a good crowd. Obviously predominantly male audience, which from

108
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:16.959
a woman having to go to the
bathroom, Like I love these type of

109
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:23.240
events because there's no line for the
women's there's definitely more men there, so

110
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.079
I was like going straight to the
bathroom, whereas Portland had to wait in

111
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.120
line for a minute. But yeah, definitely a good mixture. I would

112
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.240
say I didn't see as many kids
as I thought I would see compared to

113
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.040
like when I went to RAW a
few months ago, back in August,

114
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:40.680
there was not as many kids here, And I'm wondering if maybe the mother

115
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.600
played into that, or even you
know, the fact that I do feel

116
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:48.240
like we're gearing more towards TV fourteen, I'm wondering if that's kind of changing

117
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.040
the landscape. But I can't bring
my kids to the show if they're going

118
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:56.360
to drop a few f bombs.
But I think that the demographic was probably

119
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.240
a really good mixture, good good, Yeah, it seemed that way from

120
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.920
what I saw on camera. But
every time they pan in, especially people

121
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.079
close to the ring, there's it's
just predominantly male, which has been ww's

122
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.680
core audience since the inception of Time. I mean, that's generally who they've

123
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.920
catered to. But they've brought in
a lot of women over the last over

124
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.560
the years, which has been great. The uprising, the women's evolution and

125
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.519
revolution, which has been a big, a big deal and a big reason

126
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.959
why a lot of the women have
started to become attracted to the sport.

127
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.079
But let's get into the matches themselves. I have so many little questions to

128
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.240
ask. The final one I'll askuse. If I forget, I'll be really

129
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.879
angry. Did I actually hear some
booze for Cody Rhodes? Was that real?

130
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.799
Okay? I was in heaven.
It was. I was so shocked

131
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.399
by that because it was a significant
amount, and it was at the beginning.

132
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.480
It's I mean that it started early
when they were showing clips of Cody,

133
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.720
there were booze, and now I
was like, is this happening?

134
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.159
Are we are or I thought,
you know, you and I and our

135
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.320
feelings for Cody. I'm like,
I thought we were the minority here,

136
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.720
right, But there was definitely some
Cody. Obviously the cheers kind of over

137
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.879
pass the boos, but there were
booths there, and I was like,

138
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.480
very shocked by that. Okay,
that makes me very warm and fuzzy inside

139
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.759
for all the cold weather. It
warms my soul. I mean, I

140
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.080
feel I feel validated now. And
do I think it's going to be a

141
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.519
pattern. Probably not, but at
least for a one night. I'm like,

142
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.639
am I is this in my mind? Am I? Am? I

143
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.360
actually hearing this or is it just
you know the wind? Is it so

144
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.240
good? I'm glad and we'll dive
into that a little more, but let's

145
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.559
get to the matches just in the
interest of time. Here we got Ria

146
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.120
Ripley and Becky Lynch Well Triple H
opening the show and he didn't say much,

147
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.480
but it was cool to see him, and he just basically said thank

148
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.559
you, welcome to WrestleMania. So
any comments on Triple H's entrance Triple is

149
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.759
He's also one of those where he
is one of my favorites growing up and

150
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:50.000
to a point where like one of
my birthday guests was his his documentary where

151
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.639
it's on DVD's like that's how old
I am? Like that was that was

152
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.639
a birthday present from my mom to
me. So I love Forriple H.

153
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.279
And it was so funny. As
you know, we were getting ready for

154
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.279
this show, my son and I
we were listening to entrance music and his

155
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.399
came on and I was like,
oh, we won't hear that tonight,

156
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.840
that that'll be said, but oh
well, so when his music cute,

157
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.799
I was like, what I did
not expect it. It was. It

158
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.799
was very good to see him live. I didn't think I was going to

159
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.960
but it was quick short, but
it was really good to hear his music

160
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.639
and to see and I think this
will be known as the Triple H era.

161
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.519
It does seem to be landing on
that, you know, but at

162
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.399
times sometimes you just you don't know
what era you're in until after it's passed,

163
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.639
and then you name it. When
you're in the era, typically you

164
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.120
don't have a name for it.
So I do think eventually this will be

165
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.000
looked back on as the Triple H
Era. And he has done an amazing

166
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.000
job and the crowd seems to really
be taking to him, and it was

167
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.840
I'm imagining it's pretty cool to see
him, even though he didn't obviously compete

168
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.440
or any kind of significant role,
but just to see him here that entrance

169
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.120
music is a nostalgic. It brings
a WrestleMania feel right off the bat.

170
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.320
So yeah, that must have been
a cool moment for sure. But let's

171
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.360
get into the matches themselves. And
Ria Ripley and Becky Lynch open the show,

172
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.480
and you know, we got a
narrative from telling us that Becky was

173
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.440
actually battling strep throat all week.
She had one hundred and two fever,

174
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.279
which I mean that I don't care
who you are. That's a that's that's

175
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.440
a terrible thing to have to deal
with if you're trying to wrestle. So,

176
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.240
you know, props to uh,
props to Becky Lynch for being a

177
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.759
trooper on that one. She didn't
look sick. But boy, oh boy,

178
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.600
if that's that's true, that that's
tough to deal with. But Ria

179
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.960
Ripley gets her own entrance music with
the band playing her music. She's got

180
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.559
now extensions in her hair, changing
up her look. I like it.

181
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.600
Uh. And this match, of
course, as we know, ends with

182
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.399
Ria Ripley beating Becky Lynch in about
seventeen minutes. I'll toss it to you

183
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.840
for thoughts. I said it was
it was shocking to me because you know,

184
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.679
with this match, I knew that
Rio was going to be over.

185
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.159
I didn't expect Becky booze. But
at the very beginning, as they were

186
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.039
playing, just like clips of you
know what was to be expected, what

187
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.879
was the card for the night,
the people were doing Becky and even that

188
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:52.840
the woman sitting next to me we
were both like, oh are people doing

189
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:58.639
Becky? Like we didn't expect that
so Mommy is definitely one hundred percent over.

190
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:03.159
She had a huge probably were everyone
was so excited. They put on

191
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.879
a really, really good match.
I would have known that he was sick

192
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.120
like I didn't always I could hear
what Michael Cult was saying, so I

193
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.440
didn't even know that. You wouldn't
have known this on her performance. There

194
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.679
were definitely moments where I thought Ria
was going to lose and I was going

195
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.919
to waste my mind as she did. So they definitely put on a wonderful

196
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.120
match. It was a great way
to open up the show. I was

197
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:28.080
so excited to see reallive and it
was. It was definitely exceeded my expectations

198
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.879
for sure. I would have kind
of went in a little bit Lolow.

199
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.720
Yeah, I didn't have super high
expectations at the beginning when this match was

200
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.639
official announced, and I feel like
as the weeks I progressed, the ladies

201
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.960
did a really good job in the
storytelling and kind of pulling me into their

202
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.080
match more than I was in the
beginning. So I wouldn't end up very

203
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.279
happy with the match when I initially
thought I wasn't going to be That's how

204
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.679
I felt going in. I mean, originally when they announced it, I'm

205
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.519
like, eh, like it should
have been to me Bianca in that spot.

206
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.240
Now, of course they can get
to that at another WrestleMania, but

207
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.679
I was a bit kind of whole
hummed it, and really it didn't get

208
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.559
me excited until, like you said, kind of like the last few weeks

209
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.279
where they ramped it up. They
waited till the eleventh hour to make us

210
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.480
really care, and they did a
good job. And this match I think

211
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.200
delivered beyond what the build was,
which is always a good thing. And

212
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.919
you know, some of the near
falls were believable. When Rhea was nearly

213
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.600
manhandle slammed off the second rope,
I said, if she hits this,

214
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:22.600
it could really be over. She
hit the manhandleslam. Once you knew that

215
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.679
at WrestleMania there's gonna be kickouts of
finishers all over the place, so you're

216
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.120
thinking everyone's got to be hit with
a finisher at least twice to believe that

217
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:31.960
it could be over. But in
this case, you know, with Rhea

218
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.440
Ripley and just really is still a
rising star, you kind of knew that

219
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.759
Riha Ripley was going to retain here. It doesn't make sense for Becky Lynch

220
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.840
to take the belt yet, because
Rihea's still on the rise, you'd be

221
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.639
cutting her off at the pass.
I don't think you'd see a full give

222
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.039
her the full run that she deserves. And the crowd, as you said,

223
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.120
I mean it came across on TV. It wasn't totally anti Becky,

224
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.320
but you could audibly hear those booze
and Riha Ripley was easily the one that

225
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.000
was over here. It was the
right call. I don't think there was

226
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.799
any need to take the belt off
of Hi. And it very much felt

227
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.200
like also kind of like a goodbye
match for Becky for a little while.

228
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.039
It felt like she after this match
could be taking time off. They zoomed

229
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.840
been in on her face, and
her face said a whole lot about her,

230
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.600
Like just the way she looked,
it looked like she was about to

231
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.480
say goodbye for a little while.
That could be totally wrong, but it

232
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.679
would be a match in which you
would have that person lose and take some

233
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.639
time off. And I think her
character does need a little bit of time

234
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.080
off, some recharge, some rethinking, a little repackaging upon her return,

235
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.360
because the fans have started to a
little bit organically turn on her, and

236
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.559
I don't know if that's what they
want. That was my fault too.

237
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.600
When they zoomed in on her face, I thought, I was like,

238
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.440
was this good? She returned it. It felt as if she was going

239
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.639
to be leaving for a while,
and just based on the fact that the

240
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.399
crowd was booing her, I think
you're right. I think she needs to

241
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.519
peck a break and then come back
maybe with something new, and we'll see

242
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.360
how the fans react to that.
Well, we got our next match here

243
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:05.480
and the judgment Day Damien Priest and
Finn Balor versus DIY New Day Awesome Truth

244
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:11.840
Atown down under New Catch Republic and
that was a six pack ladder match for

245
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.720
the Unisputed tag titles. But I
was under the impression and a lot of

246
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.039
people were right. I was wrong. I thought it was just going to

247
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.399
be for the Undisputed tag titles.
Apparently they split the titles and it's no

248
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.840
longer a unified belt and I'm fine. I'm fine with that. I mean

249
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.919
it just it wasn't really clear that
that was going to be the case until

250
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.240
they actually put the belts up and
I'm like, oh, yeah, definitely,

251
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.279
there's gonna they're splitting them again.
That's fine. This match scared me

252
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.840
from the from the get go that
it was going to be something that I

253
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.120
mean, seriously, I was waiting
for the referees to put the X sign

254
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.639
up. I was waiting, you
know, just I was very concerned actually

255
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.879
for the health and safety of the
wrestlers in here, because you knew it

256
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:46.840
was going to be a car crash. You knew that they were going to

257
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.759
take insane risks. That ladder that
I'm sure you guys saw too. When

258
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.360
they kept climbing up the ladder that
was like buckling and it was breaking at

259
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:58.120
the leg. I'm thinking there,
oh my god, like and there were

260
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.639
times that they nearly injured themselves was
because they weren't replacing the ladder, and

261
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.120
they finally did and it ends up. Of course, we know a town

262
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.240
down Under when's the SmackDown Tag team
titles and boy, oh boy, there

263
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.240
was nobody over more than our truth
and he finally gets this moment at fifty

264
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.399
two years old, winning the raw
tag team titles. What did you think

265
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.399
that this match? Honestly, okay, that makes me feel better because I

266
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.440
was going to ask you, did
I miss an announcement about the belts being

267
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:29.000
separate because when it started, we
honestly, when when Austin Theory and Graceman

268
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:30.840
Law got the belt, I thought, are they not reading the belts like

269
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.039
everyone aroun me was confused. I
was like, oh, okay, I

270
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.639
guess they're separating the titles. And
I was like, did I miss an

271
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:41.279
announcement about that? So because when
Day won the belt, everyone dud like

272
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.600
crazy, But I think it's because
we all thought it was over. I

273
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:47.200
thought we all thought, right,
we want a truth to win. So

274
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:52.159
that was a pleasant surprise and kind
of confusing. This match was hard to

275
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.759
watch live. I was on the
edge of my seat. I had the

276
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.759
same reaction you did. I was
just waiting for someone to get hurt.

277
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:02.799
Not only that, but there I
didn't know where I was looking and all

278
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.960
seats we weren't on the floor,
we had decent seats. I couldn't see

279
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.279
what I was looking at. I'm
to the point where I forgot New Day

280
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.319
was there until they I think they
had a big moment at at some point

281
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.279
and I was like, oh,
yeah, New Day is there. Like

282
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.759
it was, it was hard to
watch live. I want to go back

283
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.480
and watch it because I felt like
I didn't really get to experience what was

284
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.599
happening because I was like, what
am I looking at? Who's there?

285
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.400
Just like looking all over the place. But Truth was a thousand person over.

286
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.640
I mean, people were on their
feet for Truth and everyone was yelling.

287
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:34.640
I don't know if you heard it, but there was like we want

288
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:40.119
Truth chance, and I think we
genuinely wanted him to be the one to

289
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.839
like climb up the ladder and get
the belt. I think at one point

290
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.119
this was getting to and I was
like, I mean, obviously I want

291
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.680
from the one, but I want
our Truth to have that moment of him

292
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.200
climbing up the ladder and grabbing the
belt. So when that finally happened,

293
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.279
I mean we were all just like
so happy for him. It's just he

294
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.079
is like, I'm like truth for
president. Everyone loves truth. If he

295
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:03.039
doesn't, something's wrong with you.
And how did you laugh when he thought

296
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:04.319
it was a tag team match?
I was laughing. All of us were

297
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.000
laughing. Did he paint someone at
one point? Like he tried to go

298
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.480
in business like, no, you
gotta go up? Yeah, we were

299
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:18.400
all everyone was laughing. He's just
he's just such a wonderful character, and

300
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.000
I feel like he really does bring
people together, like it was just such

301
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.079
a unified experience and of we all
wanted Truth to win in that moment.

302
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.960
Yeah, no, it's he.
Like you said, there is something wrong

303
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.279
with you. Should see a psychologist
if you have no If you don't love

304
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.319
Truth, I mean, you have
something diagnosably wrong with you, because he

305
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:37.759
is just he's such a like you
said, he's a pleasant character, but

306
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.799
he's also a guy that you you
love and actually are rooting for, not

307
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.039
in a laughing at him way,
but laugh with him. You love the

308
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.799
the fact that he's kind of detached
from reality, but he does it in

309
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.279
a way that makes it so sincere
and genuine. It's just this combination of

310
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.000
personality traits that's really hard to pull
off in a way that's believable, and

311
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.160
he's just I love it. Now. How long I think those tag this

312
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:00.720
tag title un is gonna go.
Probably not more than a few months.

313
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.200
But that's fine. Truth got his
moment, and that's what I was hoping

314
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.680
for here fifty two years old,
and he finally gets that moment at WrestleMania,

315
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.480
and I couldn't be happier for him. Yeah, I mean the mizz

316
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.519
fine, but our truth. It
was all about our truth here. Yes,

317
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.440
you have a town down Under and
they're a team that I think has

318
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:21.519
a lot more to really prove than
our truth in the Miz. But for

319
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.160
me, this was all about truth
in the Miz here. And it's just

320
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:27.440
a feel good moment that the show
needed at this point. It really was.

321
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.359
And he the fact that he's fifty
two, the man in the ring,

322
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.519
he is a phenomenal athlete. You
would not know this man is fifty

323
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.559
two years old when you watch him. And there was just so many moments

324
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.799
throughout that match where, like I
was saying that I was waiting for the

325
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.880
X symbol, I was only in
my seat. There was moments where you

326
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:47.440
were like you could feel the pain. You're like, oh gosh, this

327
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:49.920
that was fucking hurt. But it
was a really good matchic it was just

328
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.000
hard to watch life and that may
just be where our seats were, but

329
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.079
I didn't There was moments where I
didn't know what was going on. Yeah,

330
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.799
I mean I couldn't imagine. I've
said this my previous show, like

331
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.599
how do you call this match?
I mean, like, if you are

332
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.319
the announcers there's just too much going
on. I can't remember a ladder match

333
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.119
that had twelve guys in it or
twelve women anybody. I mean, it's

334
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.759
just half of a Royal rumble nearly
in a ladder match, and it's just

335
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:18.160
you can't possibly keep up with all
the action. It's I thought that it

336
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:19.880
really is there. Let's be honest, there's too many teams in that match.

337
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.880
I would cut it by half,
and even that would be a handful.

338
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.799
But fine, everybody gets a chance
at WrestleMania. I have no problem

339
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:27.880
with that. It's just hard,
like you said, hard to digest because

340
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.319
there's this and that and this going
on, and you're, like you said,

341
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.640
you're waiting for somebody, unfortunately to
get injured. I don't. I

342
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.279
haven't heard any of any any injuries
coming out of it, which is good.

343
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:38.480
But still it's just it's simply too
many people. That's all there is

344
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.599
to it. But still fun,
still some good moments. Honestly, I

345
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.720
have no again, no issue with
the SmackDown tag titles going to the heel

346
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.799
team of a town down Under and
the other team balancing out with awesome truth.

347
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.039
Now it's just a matter of judgment. Day has a big problem,

348
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.759
and I think the cracks are going
to continue to form over the next several

349
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.839
weeks, eventually leading to a total
split of the judgement and damn and that

350
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.319
to me is what's coming. But
all right, speaking of which, though,

351
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.960
onto the next match here Dominic and
Santos Escobar versus Raymisteriro and Andrade.

352
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:15.400
This ends with dom and Santos getting
the victory in about eleven minutes. But

353
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.039
it was two masked men that I
was looking at, going well, who

354
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.640
the hell are these people? It
seemed extremely random. And if you don't

355
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:26.920
haven't heard any if you don't know
who Jon Jason Kelsey is or Travis Kelcey

356
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.319
obviously Taylor Swift and that whole thing. I mean, then you probably had

357
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.759
no clue about this. But most
people had an idea of of who Jason

358
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.240
Kelsey is and it just seemed really
random. I had, you know,

359
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.480
I didn't understand the need to bring
these two in, and I actually thought

360
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:48.279
that Santos and or rather yeah,
dom and Santos needed the victory much more

361
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.839
than Ray and Andrade did. It
was okay, but for me, it's

362
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.759
just a kind of a question mark
on this one. How about you this

363
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.480
match, I have transparent with you, like when I touch the card.

364
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.400
I was like, we have to
pick a bathroom break match, and it

365
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.920
had to be that one. Unfortunately, so we caught the tail end of

366
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:12.960
what was happening with tail seem coming
out. But I didn't see any of

367
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:17.240
this match. I felt awful,
but it was a long show and I

368
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:18.559
was like, okay, which of
these matches, Well, we need to

369
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.440
get up and you know, walk
around. We wanted to go to the

370
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.200
merched shore when we first cracked.
The lines were ridiculous. I was like,

371
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.119
we're gonna have to go during a
match, and that was that match.

372
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:36.400
Unfortunately, So I'll have to watch
it on Peacock later because I completely

373
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.200
missed it. I didn't even get
to see the entrances. It felt like

374
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:42.319
a SmackDown match. It just felt
like a quality strack Down. Yeah,

375
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.279
no, no, it was fine. It's just it's only eleven minutes,

376
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.559
so nothing really any longer you'd see
than on SmackDown. It's just I don't

377
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.640
I didn't understand the finish of why
Ray needed to win. He already beat

378
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.720
his son last year. You'd figured
they'd kind of even out with his son's

379
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.400
team getting a victory this year.
But it was all about Jason Kell at

380
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.359
the end, and I don't know, I'd agree that this wasn't a bad

381
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:04.960
one to take your bathroom break on. I totally would have done the same

382
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.680
thing. You got to pick your
spots, You got to go at some

383
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.960
point. Yeah, I mean,
you can't hold it the whole time,

384
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:14.319
so exactly, Yeah, that was
it. No, I'm with you.

385
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:17.920
I'll watch and I'll let you know
what I think. Yeah, no,

386
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:22.359
no, no, that's that's fine. But this next match honestly probably didn't.

387
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:25.119
I mean again, maybe you have
an opposing opinion, and that's that's

388
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:30.319
fine. But I was very disappointed
in Jay versus Jimmy, considering how just

389
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:34.480
awesome these two are. I really
was disappointed in the quality of this match.

390
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.119
It was in. I thought it
was going to be super kick heavy.

391
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.799
They they it seemed like they didn't
do anything other than superkicks, which

392
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.960
was to me. I mean,
I gotta go back and count. I

393
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.319
should have done a counter because it
had to have been over twenty collectively,

394
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.359
well over twenty, which is absurd. Yeah, third, good you count

395
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:57.839
because it was honestly, this match, this was probably the most disappointing matches

396
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:03.920
the night. For me, I
did have high expectations for this. I

397
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.799
walked in thinking, I thought they're
going to steal the show because they are

398
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.839
so good in the ring, and
they're build up like the video that they

399
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.160
played with videos and then this kids, it was so good and Jay is

400
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.559
so over right now. I've heard
yeat in the airport. I heard yet

401
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:25.319
at WWE World Yeach chants were going
on while we were waiting for the gates

402
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.720
to open. All seventy two thousand
people in the crowd were standing with their

403
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.920
hands going back and forth when his
insurance came out. He is so over

404
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.079
right now that I remember you said
that you had thought that this was below

405
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:42.440
him, and it was. Once
the match actually happened, I was like,

406
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:47.319
I hope this doesn't push him down
because he is so over right now.

407
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.119
But I know the quality of a
match he can put on, Like

408
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:53.920
his Icy title match was a thousand
times better than this, Like where was

409
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:59.279
that Jay that was? That was
the Jay that we needed and we didn't

410
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:04.319
get it. Superkicks were so obnoxious. I'm like Sean Michaels did not come

411
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:10.160
in on a zip line for the
superkick to be disrespected, but he didn't

412
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:12.480
end Rick Flair's career, and I'll
put in in quotation marks because he doesn't

413
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:17.160
know how to quit. He did
en Rick Flair with that amazing superkick.

414
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:21.640
For it to be treated this way, I was so sad for this match

415
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:26.400
because I really expected more. I
hope this doesn't push Jay back down because

416
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:33.400
he he is over like the crowd
one thousand percent is behind him, and

417
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.480
I hope this ends this Bloodline chapter
with him. I hope he goes on

418
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:44.039
and does better things, because this
pulled him back five steps easily. It's

419
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:48.559
very weird that you have two guys
who have been together since birth that have

420
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.039
no chemistry in the ring. Now, to be fair, they also have

421
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.720
been a tag team almost their entire
career, and they've been partners, not

422
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.400
opponents, so there is a little
bit of that. But my god,

423
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.000
it's like they were a parody of
the match. Like if I was to

424
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.839
create a parody of the match,
it would be superkick, superkick, superkick.

425
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.759
It'd be just trying to like obviously
overplay the superkick, and the pacing

426
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:12.400
of the match was weird. There
were awkward pauses on top of it.

427
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:17.880
It's like they suddenly became amateurs.
It was very bizarre, and I you

428
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.799
know, it just yeah, it
was uncomfortable to watch, even the crowd

429
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.680
at once some points were it just
sounded like dead silence the crowd. I

430
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:29.839
don't know what to do here,
and you know, yeah, it was

431
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.400
just you know, I know what
they were trying to go for. But

432
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.319
on top of the overuse of superkicks, it's not like they were even selling

433
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:38.680
them. I mean, they weren't
even like they just it's almost as if

434
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:41.480
they didn't get hit. I mean, imagine somebody actually kicking you in the

435
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:45.839
face. You'd be down and it's
a knockout shot, which is why Sean

436
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:49.079
Michaels used it for his whole career
because it's a very believable finish and you

437
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.039
know, it's been overused throughout the
years, but this was absolutely egregious,

438
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:57.119
to the point where I just go, this is actually embarrassing to watch because

439
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.799
and I hate to say that with
these two guys, but I'm like,

440
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.559
if I had somebody in my you
know, sitting with me, a friend

441
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:04.640
watching this with me, I'd be
like, can we just do something else

442
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:07.400
right now? For the next ten
minutes it's it was just it was an

443
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:11.240
embarrassing match, and I hate saying
that. But they can move on.

444
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.240
They'll both I think, be fine, but they need to just move on

445
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.720
quickly from this and move on to
new opponents and not each other. This

446
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:22.119
needs to end immediately. On thousand
percent, I was wondering if the no

447
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.400
sales came across the way because in
person, it was like, okay,

448
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.319
come on, like it was it
was like you said, it was embarrassing.

449
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.839
It was. It was just so
disappointed because I do I love both

450
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:37.559
of them. I think they're so
talented, but it did not come across

451
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:40.400
on this match, and it makes
me sad because I feel like this was

452
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.240
probably a match for a lot of
time. This was definitely something that I'm

453
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:48.559
sure as kids they dreamed about,
and I don't think they fulfill anyone's dreams,

454
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.519
certainly not mine. No, they
didn't. It's they made mine into

455
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.359
a nightmare pun of phrase from Cody
Roads. They turned my dream into a

456
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.720
nightmare because this was, uh,
this was just bad. It was.

457
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.200
It was startlingly, startlingly bad.
And I really wish that they would,

458
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.720
you know, have have not done
this, because I mean, I was

459
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:10.319
advocating for Jay, as you said
for the Intercontinental title. I think he

460
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:12.240
was still even though Sammy won,
will get there. I still believe that

461
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:15.960
Jay is a better candidate for the
IC title. He was on the ascent

462
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.079
all year, fans have gotten behind
him. He truly felt like a main

463
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:22.559
event and Sammy kind of came out
of nowhere and was on this like re

464
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.119
emergence journey that the fans were like, eh, we kind of want Chad

465
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.720
Gable or Jay and Jay went into
Jimmy and I don't know it. It

466
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.559
did feel below Jay and it was
below j and I don't think it helped

467
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.200
anyone. Both men were hurt by
this match, but there's obviously their their

468
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.559
name value and the fans forget quickly. They'll be able to repair themselves.

469
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.480
But I just would not recommend anyone
rewatching this match back. There may be

470
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:47.119
a few people out there that enjoyed
this, but the crowd didn't like it.

471
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.079
I think most people online were like, Wow, that was that was

472
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:53.039
just almost impossible to believe that the
talent that was in this match put on

473
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:59.240
something that bad. But all right, any final thoughts on Jimmy J Yeah,

474
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:03.319
I definitely please, But you know. The one thing I also wanted

475
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:08.279
to mention non wrestling related that Samantha
Irvine did introducing Lil Wayne as quote the

476
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:12.799
greatest rapper of all time. Uh
well, I'd never heard that before.

477
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.279
And also Lil Wayne like performed like
five lines and I'm like, well what,

478
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.279
Lil Wayne. I'm sitting there going, Okay, Here's here's the thing

479
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:25.839
you don't do. You don't claim
somebody's the greatest of all time, because

480
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:29.680
that's extremely subjective. Fans decide that. But also you don't say someone's the

481
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:32.519
greatest of all time and then have
them come out there and embarrass themselves thirty

482
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:34.279
seconds later. It just I mean, because I don't know what. I

483
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:38.240
was just like, what's happening?
I was like, did it get It's

484
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.599
like I remember, you know.
He was like I'm performing, and I'm

485
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.880
like where like that. I was
expecting like a little bit of a song,

486
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.720
but that was nothing. And I
was like and it sounded really bad.

487
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:49.799
And I like a little Wayne,
Like I grew up with a little

488
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.759
Wayne. I like him, so
I was excited for this. I popped,

489
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.720
I stood up, and I quickly
sat down. That's how fast it

490
00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:59.920
was, Like, I go did
he forget his lines? Was the supp

491
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.880
to be longer? What's happening?
And he didn't even sound good? And

492
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:07.119
I'm like yeah, so I was
like maybe in person this came across better,

493
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.440
but at home, I'm very confused, like what is going on?

494
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:14.759
And then it was another It kind
of led perfectly into the Jay Jimmy USO

495
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.559
match because that happened right before.
It was a foreshadowing of that match,

496
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:21.640
because I mean, it really was. I mean again and I like low

497
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:30.079
Wayne too, but that was just
like, what is happening? So okay?

498
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.839
Good? Uh? Well, the
cloud lifted a little bit here as

499
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:36.240
we get into the six woman tag
team match of Bianca, Jade, and

500
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.960
Naomi versus Oscar, Kyrie Saying and
Dakota Kai. Now, there was no

501
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:42.039
doubt about the finish of this match. I would have bet my house on

502
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.039
who was gonna win this, and
it turned out to be the right choice.

503
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:49.480
But the entrance of these three women, Jade and Naomi and Bianca,

504
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.839
that was a pretty cool entrance,
you know, with their stances and the

505
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.279
costumes they had on. It was
pretty cool cinematic. The only problem I

506
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:59.359
had with it was, well,
you know, I wish they had given

507
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:03.119
them individual entrances, because I think
that that would have been a better idea

508
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.599
than putting them those three together.
Again, that's a subjective choice, but

509
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.039
I would have liked especially with Jade
getting her own entrance, Naomi getting her

510
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.160
own entrance instead of just three come
out at once and then they just come

511
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.400
down to Beyonca's music. But what'd
you think? It was hard for me

512
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:21.279
to see the entrance where we were
sitting, so I didn't really get to

513
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:23.160
see the impact of it until I
saw it on social media afterwards. I

514
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.119
was like, oh, that was
really cool. I hated I couldn't see

515
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.920
it as well, but I was
very excited for this match. I will

516
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.480
tell you the crowd was one thousand
percent dead, and I could kind of

517
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.960
tell that, like after, you
know, at the beginning of this match,

518
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:38.960
it felt like this was the match
of like people were starting to get

519
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:45.559
tired and get a little bit drained, and the temperature was slowly going down

520
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.720
even more, and I could tell
that. But I was excited for this

521
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.279
match. Even though I was one
of the few people who was standing and

522
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.480
yelling during this match, I wanted
to be able to actually enjoy it,

523
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.119
so I did. I didn't care
a feople were daring good for you.

524
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.680
You know, at some point you
just have to say the hell with it,

525
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:07.720
because you know, like you'll never
meet these people again ever. You've

526
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.599
spent your hard earned money and your
time dedicated, maybe even take time off

527
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:13.720
work a lot of people have.
You know, you're going with your son,

528
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.920
and you gotta just say the hell
with it and just put that aside

529
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:21.799
and just do what you need to
do and scream and yellow as respectfully as

530
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.359
you can, because I mean,
I'm not all for some people think they

531
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:25.640
it's just like a free pass to
do anything and say anything. I don't

532
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.680
believe that, you know. But
yeah, I mean, I'm glad you

533
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.039
did that because this was a match
that I'm surprised it was as crowd quite

534
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:36.559
as it was. But I also
was waiting for the big, big Jade

535
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.079
Cargill pop, and she did get
a pretty big pop when she was finally

536
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:42.960
tagged in. Hitting a choke slam
was pretty cool. She hit the choke

537
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.640
slam pretty well. I was thinking, WHOA, that's her finish. Now,

538
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:47.079
I think that should actually be your
finish instead of the Widow's peak.

539
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:51.839
But that's my opinion. But I
think she looked pretty good. You know,

540
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:55.319
I didn't see a massive sample size
from Jade Cargill, but did the

541
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:00.319
crowd at least seemingly come alive finally
when Jade Cargill got it the match,

542
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.519
it seemed that way. Yeah,
it certainly did, and they there was

543
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:07.000
definitely a we want Jay chant that
was happening, and when she finally got

544
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:08.559
the ring, there was definitely a
pop. I will say, you know,

545
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:13.079
she obviously she looks phenomenal. Bianca
is one of those I forget about

546
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:17.119
how good fiance is in the ring. She is an athlete, but she

547
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:22.400
she looks really good live watching her
in the ring, I think because which

548
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.599
I like Beyonca, but I think
her character was something about beyoncea that I'm

549
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:29.000
not drawn to. But then when
I see her her and I'm like,

550
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:30.759
oh, yeah, I forget how
good you are. I think it's like

551
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:34.720
her entrance and the hair, something
about it where I just kind of look

552
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.079
ask her until I see her in
the ring, and then I'm like,

553
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.039
oh, yeah, you were a
beast. She's good. I felt like

554
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:44.720
and maybe I missed something that I
felt like Naomi was underwhelmed in this unless

555
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:47.599
there were some moments that I missed. I felt like this was definitely all

556
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:51.079
about Bianca, Bellair and Jade.
I felt like they put on a really

557
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.160
good show. I feel like there
was moments where I I kind of forgot

558
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:58.039
Naomi was there, which makes me
a little sad because I do like all

559
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:01.240
three of them, But Beyonca is
an amazing, amazing live I do.

560
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:06.319
I think maybe I'm not drawn to
Beanca because I'm not a twelve year old

561
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:08.079
girl and you know she I'm a
grown woman, and I kind of want

562
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:10.360
to see her as a grown woman, which is I feel like what Jay

563
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:15.679
gives me, Yes, Jane gives
me that same athleticism that's saying look that

564
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:19.159
Bianca has, except Jane is a
woman and not a little girl, and

565
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.280
I feel like Bianca leans towards the
little girl. And I'm not a Bianca

566
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:24.960
hater. She I literally like when
she steps in the ring, ill was

567
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:30.400
like, she is good. Like
that That was my reaction seeing her live.

568
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:36.199
Her entrance, Bianca's entrance and her
in ring work are completely diametrically opposed.

569
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:37.920
Because you have like you mentioned it, you said it, she comes

570
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:42.039
out like a twelve year old girl
skipping to the schoolyard. I hate it

571
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.079
because it doesn't reflect what she's capable
of in the ring. I mean,

572
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:49.119
she is a badass in the ring
and she comes out twirling her hair,

573
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.639
and I know that she does appeal
to the younger audience, and I'm sure

574
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.440
she does. She you know that
the younger girls do draw to her,

575
00:34:55.480 --> 00:35:00.239
and I understand that, but as
a grown fan like yourself, look at

576
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:02.119
something like and she's twirling her hair
on the way down the ring and even

577
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.159
toiling her hair when she was being
brought up in the or brought down from

578
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:08.880
the entrance with Jade and Naomi,
and I'm like, stop toiling her hair.

579
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:15.199
It's just so obnoxious and it's immature
and it's just takes so I just

580
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.000
to me, that's how I view
it. I actually I've seen her when

581
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.360
she is not in full makeup and
not with her her brain in. I

582
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:24.519
actually like her when she is in
kind of a more natural form, And

583
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:28.400
I'm like, this is to me
how she would look more grown up.

584
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:30.840
Like you said, Jade is a
more mature version of Bianca in a way,

585
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:37.639
and Jade's hair, yeah, I
think it takes away from how talented

586
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:42.559
beyond me it's like she's so good
and I don't mind the great it's still

587
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.239
looking the break up swinging it.
But there was one point I think she

588
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:49.000
hit someone with her braik. It
was so loud, like there was an

589
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:52.119
audible like, oh, it sounded
so bad. I have to ask you

590
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.320
because every time they've done that,
I'm thinking to myself, there's no way

591
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:59.079
it can actually sound like that.
They must put a sound effect in.

592
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.760
Did that sound like a perfectly timed
sound effect or did it actually sound you

593
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:07.440
know what I mean, because I
can't tell. I think it like it's

594
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.480
if that's a sound efact, they
you know, give their sound people a

595
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:15.400
raise because it was so loud,
like you immediately like tinted up because it

596
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:20.119
was like, oh that hurt.
So if it's a sound effect prop stim

597
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:23.960
I thought it happened like I thought
it Legit was like someone was getting a

598
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:29.199
belt whipping. That's what it sounded
like. Okay, now, because it

599
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:31.920
just this sounds too stereotypical, like
a whip, and I'm like, oh

600
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:36.519
my god, that is how is
it possibly that loud? But maybe it

601
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:38.360
is so h Either way, I
wouldn't want to be hit with it.

602
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:43.079
I mean, I just I wouldn't. Oscar took it pretty pretty well,

603
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:46.159
and obviously they ended up losing the
match. Jade gets the victory, and

604
00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:49.800
it's the way it should have gone. I mean, obviously this team of

605
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.079
Naomi, Jade, and Bianca isn't
meant to last. We'll see if it's

606
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:55.199
something that they continue with moving forward, but we all know we're gonna get

607
00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:59.760
to Jade versus Bianca at some point. That's the match that a lot of

608
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:01.079
us when Jade first came in,
We're like, ooh, that'd be kind

609
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:06.000
of a cool match. Just basically
an unphysical stature. They're very similarly built,

610
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:07.239
so that would that's gonna be a
fun match. It's eventually going to

611
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:12.519
happen. But no, no signs
of dissension. Everybody seemed to get along

612
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:15.079
fine, a very kind of a
matter of fact established Jade. It was

613
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:19.840
really about Jade. Here, Bianca
continues her winning streak at WrestleMania. She

614
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.079
hasn't lost yet, but this was
about Jade getting on the map, while

615
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:25.559
Bianca takes a kind of a couple
of steps down here from where she's been

616
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.239
at WrestleMania last couple of years.
Kind of hidden in this tag team,

617
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:32.760
which is a bit surprising. So
any final thoughts here before we get to

618
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:37.280
the IC title. You know,
something I missed live that and I think

619
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.199
even the people around me missed it
too. Was the missed from Oscar because

620
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:45.320
like when they were playing to highlights, both the young woman who was sitting

621
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:50.079
next to me, when did that
happen? So there are some moments lies

622
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:53.599
that you generally do miss and we
missed that, Like we didn't understand when

623
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:57.639
did that? When that happened?
So you know, those are some of

624
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:00.920
those downsides of you know, attending. Whys you missed those moments depending on

625
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:04.679
where you're sitting are obviously you know, for FOORTHI you can see all those

626
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.760
things. But we missed that.
So I hated I missed that, but

627
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:09.880
it was it was a great management. I think you're right. I think

628
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:15.679
this is just setting up the the
next steps for which we'll eventually be Bank

629
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:20.679
and Jade. Absolutely, and Jade
is just getting going. She again looked

630
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:22.760
pretty good in the ring, but
I wouldn't say she was outstanding, but

631
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:28.920
it's she keeps doing these very small
sample sizes, quick moments in the rumble,

632
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.440
the hot tag at the end of
the match, like we haven't seen

633
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:37.039
her yet in the long form,
and maybe they don't feel she's ready for

634
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:39.320
one on one, which is fine, she has room to improve, but

635
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:43.760
maybe that's why they pivoted. It
was gonna be Bianca Jade, and they

636
00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:45.880
pivoted to a six woman tag,
which is fine. But either way,

637
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:49.599
Jade has got a presence that you
can't deny, and she's going to be

638
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:52.800
a massive star. I mean,
I bet you Wrestlmingia forty one, we're

639
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.840
talking about Jade perhaps main eventing night
one with Bianca or somebody else. It's

640
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:59.920
possible. So uh, all right, well let's get to the Icy Top

641
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:04.400
as a well, Logan's Paul Energy
drink was just everywhere talking about all the

642
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:06.519
time. I mean it was it's
I know it's in the middle of the

643
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:08.440
ring, but it's also there was
a stand next to ringside. People were

644
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:14.280
talking about it backstage like it's just
it's almost too much with prime but uh

645
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.599
the Gunthers, yeah, and I
know he paid. It's just it's it's

646
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:23.039
overload. But Gunther versus Sammy's Ain
for the Intercontinental title, I mean,

647
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:28.519
this was a This was as good
as advertised. I think I think it

648
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:31.239
could have gone a little longer,
but still very good, very believable.

649
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:37.480
His wife backstage and at ringside added
a sense of humanity to Sammy's Ain.

650
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.679
Uh that that I really thought it
was needed. Chad Gable giving him one

651
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:45.800
last pep talk before the before the
entrance of Sammy was was fun. And

652
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:50.519
then you get out there and the
match last fifteen minutes. Well, Gunther

653
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:52.760
was toying with Sammy's Ain at the
end, thinking oh my, the yeah,

654
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.920
Sammy's Ain's dead. Uh. Sammy's
Ain ends up hulking up, essentially

655
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.599
finding energy from the gods, and
ends up hitting three Halluva kicks and one

656
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:07.400
two three new Intercontinental Champion. The
six hundred and sixty six day Rain is

657
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:12.119
over? What did you think?
This was one of my favorite matches of

658
00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:16.280
the night. I am not like
a huge Guncer fan, like he's phenomenal,

659
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:22.760
but seeing him live that he is
he. I am now signing up

660
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:27.440
to be in the perium. He
is so good live. He is a

661
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:30.639
hell of an athlete. He knows
how to tell a story in the ring.

662
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:35.719
Every chop he felt, every power
bomb, I was like, this

663
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:37.320
is it. There were many moments
where like saying me tap out like,

664
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.599
this is it, this is done. I didn't expect Sammy to win.

665
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:45.400
I didn't see it going in that
direction, just because of how good Gunter

666
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:50.199
is in the ring that I know
obviously he's felt for this long. But

667
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.000
now that I'm like in the fan
club, I'm like, I want to

668
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:58.639
see you Moret's see you more now. Gosh. I was so surprised at

669
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:01.119
how much I enjoyed watching him in
the ring. And he looked great,

670
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:05.039
Like, he looks like he's even
toned up even more from you know,

671
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:07.719
seeing him live, you know a
while ago. He looks great. He

672
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:14.239
him toying with his wife was good. Her emotion and reaction was good.

673
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:16.320
All of the women in my section, you know, once the match ended,

674
00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:21.119
they're like, oh, kiss,
you're right. We were all like,

675
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:22.639
you know, we kind of made
it into like a love story with

676
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:29.199
him. So it was it was
a really good match. I personally also

677
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.199
wanted it to be Chad Gable.
The crowd was over with Sammy, but

678
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:36.400
you definitely heard some like in between
the we want Saney, we want fun

679
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:38.639
through chats also, and I thought
that was a shock. But so I'm

680
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:44.440
hoping that the next steps for him
moving forward, are him going after a

681
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:47.079
bigger title because he is he is
a He is a force to be reckoned

682
00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:50.360
with in the ring. He is
so much on the watch life. I

683
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:55.119
mean, I was very surprised how
much I enjoyed seeing him action. He

684
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:59.679
is a one of a kind talent
that is just going to continue to get

685
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:04.360
better and better. I think this
was a pivot moment for gun through.

686
00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:07.400
The loss really was a promotion for
Gunther because okay, he lost the title,

687
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.920
but again, that just means you're
being pushed to the next level.

688
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:14.559
It may not happen immediately. There
may be some follow up matches at Backlash

689
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:17.280
or and at the following pl where
it's okay, Chad gets involved, it's

690
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:22.039
maybe a triple threat where Sammy retains
and then eventually just kind of trims down

691
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:27.079
to just Sammy versus Chad. Doesn't
mean again, Gunthy doesn't need to immediately

692
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:30.000
inject himself in the world title,
but does mean that this year he is

693
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:32.159
finally going to get to that next
level and get to the world title picture.

694
00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:37.079
And maybe even when depending on who's
champion, and of course the the

695
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:39.000
you know what the layout of the
land looks like at that point and who

696
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:42.599
you know, what they want to
do heading into next year's WrestleMania. But

697
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.360
I think this was a promotion for
Gunther. This didn't hurt anyone, It

698
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:50.280
helped everyone. And I'm really looking
forward to Chad getting involved because as we

699
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:52.639
saw a few weeks ago on the
Gauntlet match where Sammy and Chad were the

700
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:58.639
final two, it was an incredible
end to that match where you wanted more

701
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:01.679
and more. So Chad involved,
which he inevitably will because he told Sammy,

702
00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:05.719
you owe me a favor. If
anyone caught that, that just means

703
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:08.079
you owe me a title shot.
So I think Guntherer may want to rematch,

704
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:12.039
but you could have a triple threat
at Backlash, and that's going to

705
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:14.559
be I mean, if you thought
this was good, adding Chad Gable is

706
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:16.440
just going to make it that much
better. Yeah. That it makes me

707
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:21.400
excited to see what the next step
start for everyone involved. But it was.

708
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:24.639
It was definitely one of my favorite
matches for sure. Oh yeah,

709
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:30.239
it made up for the Jimmy j
debacle. You know, like, all

710
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:32.639
right, well we get to the
main event here. Now. I got

711
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:36.039
to ask how excited was your son
to see the rock? I know,

712
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:38.000
at this point. It is late
in the evening. You're tired, you're

713
00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:43.039
cold, you're probably hungry, you're
thinking about sleep. But the Rock's entrance

714
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:46.360
hits. He keeps evolving his entrance. How excited were you and your son

715
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:52.679
to see him? Oh gosh,
let me tell you it was. I

716
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:55.480
I'm a crier anyway, Like I'm
happy, I am sad, I cry

717
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:58.880
with I'm angry. So all my
friends, we have you cried yet?

718
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:01.559
And I cried. I cried very
beginning of WrestleMania, just for sure.

719
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:05.960
In fact, that a holy crap, I'm here. I teared up a

720
00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:07.239
little bit triple A because I didn't
expect it, and I love him so

721
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:12.360
much. When I say I cried
like a twelve year old girl at a

722
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:15.559
Taylor Swift concert when they all came
out, I mean it was. It

723
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:19.360
was almost embarrassing. I shocked,
my makeup stayed on. It was like

724
00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:22.719
the kind of cry where you make
noises, you know, like, my

725
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:27.599
god, I don't know what's embarrassing, but it was. It was so

726
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.639
overwhelming, and I was just so
happy to be in the moment. I

727
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:35.639
mean, he was the only reason
I even went to WrestleMania. It was

728
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:38.519
to see him and that entrance was
iconic. It was epic. We weren't

729
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:42.199
tired, we were cold. It
was long. I knew all of the

730
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:45.960
entrances were going to be very long, but it was. It was worth

731
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.760
it, that was my present worth
it. We were. We were so

732
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:52.639
high to see him, and I
will say I was. I didn't get

733
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:55.880
to watch SmackDown or the Hall of
Fame. So when he came out with

734
00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:59.639
the belt, because you know,
this has been a busy weekend, I

735
00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:01.239
was can't used about what belt it
was. And if someone had to explain

736
00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:04.199
it to me, I was like, okay, thank you, Yeah,

737
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:09.840
but that man, I was.
I was. I was so happy and

738
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:14.599
I was very proud of myself because
as catchy as Cody's song is, I

739
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:19.039
did not stand up in scream wool
A because I've heard it everywhere this weekend,

740
00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:22.440
like at Wrestle. At w W
World, they had the interance says

741
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:24.840
that you could do every single child
his entrance, so it's like, I

742
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:29.840
fear this one more time. I
was twitching, so I did not.

743
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:32.039
My son was looking I could say
he was looking at me when that part

744
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:35.039
came on, like waiting to see
if I was going to do it,

745
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:39.880
Absolutely not, it was. But
seeing the Rocks and even Roman's entrance,

746
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:45.039
I just I had full body chills
and it wasn't just from the cold.

747
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:47.719
I was so so excited to see
both of them. But obviously in the

748
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:52.719
Rock wrong me brought me the tears. No, no, nothing wrong no

749
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:57.159
no, Because here's the thing,
you probably and may not ever see him

750
00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.119
live wrestling again. I mean,
you may see him tonight. There's a

751
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.159
very good chance you'll see him tonight, almost guaranteed you'll see him tonight,

752
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:06.639
along with a lot of other legends
out a rumor to help out Cody Road,

753
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:08.719
So it could be a massively star
stood and nostalgic night for you.

754
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:10.719
I am. If I was to
pick one night to go, it would

755
00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:14.760
have been tonight. So you are
in for I think, a really fun

756
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:19.000
treat at the end of the show
with Roman and Cody and one on one

757
00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:22.760
bloodline rules match. But seeing the
Rock live, I totally get it again.

758
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.440
You may again, you may not
ever see him wrestle again in front

759
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:29.400
of you in your lifetime, so
you know, and obviously, if you're

760
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:31.599
a wrestling fan from way back when
in the Attitude ar Ruth's aggression. There's

761
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:36.920
a lot of nostalgic feels there,
so no, I totally understand that it's

762
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:39.199
that chill's moment. It's that moment
that you know brings you back to your

763
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:43.400
childhood, what that moment means,
what the place you're in. Obviously I

764
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:45.079
have your son with you, so
it makes even more fun. It all

765
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:49.239
kind of comes together in one big
ball of emotions, so you know,

766
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:52.400
it really is and I totally get
it, even though it was you know,

767
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:53.840
ten thirty at night or whatever it
was by the time they got to

768
00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:58.559
it, which I was actually wondering, are the entrances collectively going to be

769
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:01.480
longer than the match itself? Uh? Because that was one just because I

770
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:04.639
will go over and get my clock. I was like, what time does

771
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:07.079
this have to end? Like what
time this this show is supposed to end

772
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:09.320
because these entrances were taken forever,
because this means the match is going to

773
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:13.239
be short, Like that was my
fear, but it was not. There

774
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:17.280
was definitely a long match. I
will say that, like the moments of

775
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.039
them just staring at each other like
we all did our Holy s moments,

776
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:24.119
but then it kept going and we
were very much like, let's go boys,

777
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:28.519
like let's get this show on the
road. We are ready to see

778
00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:31.320
you guys wrestle, come on,
And that was a I agree, I'm

779
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:36.000
just sitting there. And the beginning
of the match was kind of criticized by

780
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:38.360
fans online, and I get it
because there was like, okay, can

781
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:40.679
we can we start a little bit
going. I know it's not going to

782
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:44.719
be a cruiserweight match. I'm not
expecting one hundred miles an hour, but

783
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:47.920
there was a little bit too much
kind of pomp and circumstance and standoffs and

784
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:52.400
stare downs. Like I get it. I understand the theatrics of it,

785
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:54.519
but like at some point you got
to just either crapp or get off the

786
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:57.679
pot, like let's go here,
you know, like you know what I

787
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:00.320
mean. And I was kind of
waiting for it. It was frustrating times,

788
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.679
but once they got going, obviously, I think they performed very well.

789
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:07.440
The Rocks stumbled hilariously. I don't
know if you saw that he tripped

790
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:10.000
up on it was trying to go
for a sharpshooter or something on Cody Roads

791
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.559
and he slipped and trapped and hit
hit his head in the bottom turn.

792
00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:19.599
Buckle in the corner. Oh my
god. I was like it like I

793
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:22.960
saw, it happened so fast,
and I was like, what happened?

794
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.239
Was that a purpose? No?
He tripped, He tripped and then he

795
00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:29.039
no sould it and just kept going
on and the announcers didn't know what to

796
00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:30.840
do. They just moved on.
It was clearly a slip up. Is

797
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:34.519
if someone doesn't make that a jiff, I mean, you're missing out.

798
00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:37.599
There's is one of the funniest trip
ups. You have to watch it back.

799
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:39.800
It's really funny. But outside of
that, I mean, the Rock

800
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:44.679
did an amazing job. I think
overall, the psychology, the pacing once

801
00:48:44.719 --> 00:48:47.320
the match got going was fun.
The attack on Seth Rollins's leg is a

802
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:53.400
perfect I think bridge into Tonight's match
with Drew just I love the rest of

803
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:57.480
the match once it got going,
And I think that false finish that I

804
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:01.440
believed in, I bought in was
when Roman speared the Rock. Everyone goes,

805
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:05.400
oh my god, and I didn't
see that coming, and the Rocks

806
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:08.239
sold it like a million bucks.
And then they both hit simultaneous pedigrees.

807
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:12.760
Did you think that was it?
I thought that was it? And when

808
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:15.880
I say my stomach drop. I
was like, that's it. They are

809
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:20.199
going to have my main go out
like this. I thought that was it.

810
00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:24.199
So I was very shocked that it
was it because they sold it very

811
00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:29.679
well. It was a perfect cell. The crowd seemed to buy in too.

812
00:49:29.719 --> 00:49:32.239
You guys were chanting along and just
be one and two and then you

813
00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:37.280
know, everyone said three and they
both kicked out. But it was that

814
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:42.199
was a great moment. I think
that really overall, it was a well

815
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:46.599
laid out match the People's Elbow the
rock Bottom Cody Cutters, although the Cody

816
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:51.360
Cutters for some reason, Cody could
not actually hit it well. On Roman

817
00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:52.920
reigns last night, there was a
lot of It was a couple of botches

818
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:57.920
there, right, Yeah, I
asked, because you know, seeing it

819
00:49:57.960 --> 00:50:00.960
live, I was like, I
could tell if it was a bosster and

820
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.000
I was like, this, why
does that look weird? This looks weird.

821
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:07.480
Yeah, he didn't hit it well, and he actually broke Roman's nose

822
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:10.280
on one of them. Yeah,
of course with Roman, and his reaction

823
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:15.480
to that was like in beast mode, like it was, oh that that

824
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:19.760
move, and I know, you
know, you criticized it before. It

825
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:25.760
looks it looks bad. It's it
looks bad like it's just not good and

826
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.440
no Cody, I know, well, I think I would. I would

827
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:35.880
actually take that move as his finished
rather than the crossroads. I would actually

828
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:39.880
take that because the crossroads is what
it just even if you in full speed,

829
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:43.960
it looks like Cody's taking the bump, not his opponent. It's a

830
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:46.440
bad move. I don't like the
crossroads. It doesn't look good. I'd

831
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:50.599
rather take the Cody cutter. But
for some reason Roman just could not or

832
00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:52.039
Cody, I don't know who's really
responsible. To me, it didn't hurt

833
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:55.760
the match. It was just a
worthy note to mention is just like they

834
00:50:55.920 --> 00:51:00.760
even twice, like they screwed it
up twice. But fine, I mean

835
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:05.599
the match wasn't hurt by it having
those two win. Having Rock and Roman

836
00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:09.760
win was I think the right move
because now it's stacks the deck even greater

837
00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:15.039
against Cody Rhoades. Now Seth Rollins
could be nursing an injury going into the

838
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:19.920
match tonight with Drew McIntyre. I
think it's a much more fun match.

839
00:51:20.239 --> 00:51:22.320
Yes, it could be overbooked with
too many people coming out to help Sina,

840
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:27.000
Austin whoever. But if you know
that going in, doesn't it make

841
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:30.039
it more fun? That it could
be just chaotic and it could be a

842
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:34.480
really fun wild last five minutes of
that match that you know is probably coming.

843
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:37.079
So I think that you know ultimately, Well, let me ask were

844
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.480
you disappointed in the rock and Roman
winning? Were you expecting it? Like?

845
00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:44.800
How do you feel about the end? Oh? No, I was

846
00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:50.360
expecting it. What I was talked
about with the match was how much of

847
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.519
it didn't take place in the ring, Like I how much you know,

848
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:57.960
with the tables and going into the
crowd. I kept thinking, someone's going

849
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:01.119
to get hurt and we have our
main eventure right here. I was I

850
00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:07.199
was nervous about that Tody, you
know rock bottom rock bottoming the rock into

851
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:10.079
the table. I was like,
I was anxious that someone was really going

852
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:14.000
to get hurt and how that was
going to impact night too. So I

853
00:52:14.119 --> 00:52:17.079
was shocked by that, but I
expected it. I mean, I honestly

854
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:21.239
thought it was over when they did
the double pedigrees. I thought that was

855
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:24.800
a rip. I think I was
a little shocked by the ending being you

856
00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:28.280
know, the rock bottom of the
people's elbow. I thought he was going

857
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:30.840
to I didn't think that would be
you know, the one, two,

858
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:32.840
three, And I guess maybe it's
because, like in the same day,

859
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:37.039
finishers are used over and over and
over again that I guess I didn't expect

860
00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:42.480
that to be the end. But
I'm hiph for tonight. I think it's

861
00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:45.039
going to be even better. I
think it's gonna be a thousand times better

862
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:49.760
than the night one. I hope
the crowd is better. It's apparently not

863
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:52.000
supposed to be as cold. We'll
see what the wind. I think it's

864
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:55.400
the wind that makes it makes a
big difference. But this match, I

865
00:52:55.480 --> 00:53:00.719
was not disappointed at all. Once
it got going, this mach seeded all

866
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:04.199
of my expectations. I can't wait
to watch it back and see if there's

867
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:06.840
anything that I missed, since you
know, when they separated, when it

868
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:12.880
was the rock and death in the
crowd, and then Roman and Cody up

869
00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:15.239
the ramp, it was like,
where do I look? Where am I

870
00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:19.639
going? So I want to look
back and see what I missed. But

871
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:24.239
this succeeded all my expectations, and
I was definitely huge check off the bucket

872
00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:27.800
list. Like you said, I
think part of my big emotion was knowing

873
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:30.280
this will probably be the last time
I see the Rock in the ring,

874
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:32.280
which is one reason why I've spent
them on me. I spent to see

875
00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:36.960
him and to have that moment.
So I was not disappointed in this time.

876
00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:39.360
No, and no one can ever
take that away from you. Yes,

877
00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:43.719
it's money, it's time. Do
you have the hotel crowds obviously all

878
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:45.519
that, But it's a moment that
you will take with you forever. And

879
00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:47.320
it's a moment. Like you say, you probably won't be able to get

880
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:51.880
back the Rock wrestling more matches after
this year is not likely. Yeah,

881
00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:54.159
he's sure. Maybe he'll do WrestleMania
forty one with Roman Reigns, which is

882
00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:59.119
what everyone expects to happen. But
again, getting to WrestleMania, at that

883
00:53:59.159 --> 00:54:01.079
point, you'll have to get flight, You'll have to get all these things,

884
00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:05.360
all these logistics that for most people
are not plausible two years in a

885
00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:07.400
row. Yeah, you're gonna be
able to take this with you forever.

886
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:10.559
And yes, this match also was
forty five minutes. I don't know if

887
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:15.599
anyone tined it. It was forty
five minutes long. It was in the

888
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:19.320
moment, itsane feel like it was
that long, Like I looked down at

889
00:54:19.320 --> 00:54:21.920
my once it ended, I looked
down as how it Taba was and I

890
00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:23.320
was like, holy crap. In
the moment, it didn't feel like it

891
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:27.400
was that long of a match.
The pasting was just perfect. Yes,

892
00:54:27.519 --> 00:54:30.760
tinming of it was perfect. They
did a really good job there, and

893
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:34.519
it didn't feel like it was immediate. Well, I'm looking at the weather

894
00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:37.119
report tonight and well, it's gonna
be fifty nine degrees, almost sixty degrees

895
00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:40.039
today, but by the time the
matches start, it'll be in the mid

896
00:54:40.079 --> 00:54:44.239
fifties. Trying to find out what
the wind's gonna because that is really what

897
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:47.239
everyone was complaining about, So it'll
be about five degrees warmer. Let me

898
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:51.920
look at the wind here. So
by the time the actual event starts at

899
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:54.920
seven, it's gonna be fifty seven
degrees with a north wind. At seven

900
00:54:55.239 --> 00:54:58.440
where you guys, it was like
fifteen or twenty miles an hour, So

901
00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:00.639
the wind should be lighter and it's
a feuture is warmer. So that should

902
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:05.679
lend itself to people being a little
more vocal tonight, and especially they know

903
00:55:05.719 --> 00:55:08.599
it's the final night. Yeah,
I will be no one else around me.

904
00:55:09.159 --> 00:55:13.280
No, just just go for broke, just just I mean I don't

905
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:15.639
know, maybe you put a drink
or two in you or just not give

906
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:19.039
an f and just go out there. And you can't. You can't.

907
00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:22.440
You gotta because you'll regret having this, you know, kind of compile your

908
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:24.519
emotions internally and you're like, I
wanted to just say or do something.

909
00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:30.400
But uh. Anyway, heading into
tonight, one last question, what are

910
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.639
you most looking forward to? I'm
most looking forward to. I have a

911
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:37.599
feeling Cody's going to finish the story, which is fine, but I am

912
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:42.960
most looking forward to seeing what possible
surprises, what possible interferences we have with

913
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:45.480
that match. That is the match
that I'm probably most excited for, so

914
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:50.840
I cannot wait. I do think
Cody's going to finish his story. I

915
00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:54.480
think Cody's gonna war just based on
how last night went. I hope that

916
00:55:54.920 --> 00:55:58.719
because I do, you know,
the you know, all the criticism with

917
00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:02.079
Roman and I even how all this
rain has been Roman has, you know,

918
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:06.159
it's been a hell of a rain, even though we you know,

919
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:08.199
we don't see him as often as
we definitely need to. I hope that

920
00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:12.199
when he loses that he does get
the elevation he deserves because he has definitely

921
00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:15.920
pushed the company into it, you
know, a realm with with him being

922
00:56:15.920 --> 00:56:20.519
the tribal chief. I'm going to
acknowledge my to not even when he loses,

923
00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:23.159
because I am to be a Roman
Reigns fan and be part you know,

924
00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:28.840
I consider myself far the bloodline as
well. So I'm excited and I

925
00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:31.320
hope that Cody Crabbabies are freaking happy
once this is over. Yeah, I

926
00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:34.519
know that's the thing. Well,
so you're an honorary oose, you're making

927
00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:38.800
yourself a self appointed honorary And no, you're right with the Cody Crybabies there,

928
00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:42.320
I agree, like, fine,
it is I think the right move

929
00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:44.760
to just take the belt off of
Roman, even though I don't like Cody's

930
00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:46.800
character. I would, I would, I would, I would succeed to

931
00:56:46.840 --> 00:56:51.840
the fact that the booking decision is
more important than my personal feelings on Cody

932
00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:53.840
Rhodes's baby face character. But I
would also say, be careful what you

933
00:56:53.880 --> 00:56:59.320
wish for with Cody because he wins. Okay, The problem is then what

934
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:01.280
what do you do with him?
How do you continue the momentum? And

935
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:05.679
it's not easy to do, but
we'll see. And I would agree that

936
00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:08.400
you know the one thing that I'm
going to be really jealous of and really

937
00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:13.039
wishing I was there, was because
it's heavily believed that Stone Colts you Boston

938
00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:15.199
is going to be there, that
you I mean, you talk about a

939
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:20.800
pop of Pops and everyone's expect I'm
telling you it's I would be shocked if

940
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:22.880
he's not there. Many people believe
he's going to come out hit the Rock

941
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:27.000
with a stunner. If that happens, which is I think likely, I'm

942
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:30.679
gonna die. I'm gonna die.
I'm gonna sit it all over. Yeah,

943
00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:32.760
So that would die. That right
there is the price of admission.

944
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:37.079
I mean really it is. So
I would have paid just to come in

945
00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:40.280
watch that five minutes, pay the
hotel, pay the ticket, and then

946
00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:43.039
have to be like no, you
got to go. Okay, you had

947
00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:45.639
your five minutes. Like that to
me would have been worth it, because

948
00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:47.679
that is something and they are Actually
I know you didn't see obviously you were

949
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:51.840
in person, you didn't hear Michael
Cole. He kind of hinted towards that

950
00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:54.800
last night because during the match with
the Rock and Tag Team match, he

951
00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:59.840
said that, you know the Rock
has performed in Philadelphiat WrestleMania before he said

952
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:02.599
it was at WrestleMania fifteen against Stone
Cold Steve Austin, And I'm like,

953
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:06.280
oh, he goes, yeah,
a quarter century ago, and I'm like

954
00:58:06.360 --> 00:58:08.360
okay, Like, you know,
so twenty five years ago, the Rock

955
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:14.320
and Austin face each other at WrestleMania
fifteen. So wouldn't it be very apropos

956
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:17.679
that twenty five years later these two
were still meeting each other at Wrestlemanta.

957
00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:22.159
I mean to me, so everything's
lining up for that. I'll be very

958
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:24.239
disappointed if that doesn't happen. But
it seems like you could have a you

959
00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:28.519
talk about a memorable night. You
could be in for one for the ages.

960
00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:31.880
Wow. Hope, So I really
do hope. So man, all

961
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:38.119
right, Well, any final thoughts
or comments on Night one? No,

962
00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:42.360
I think it was. It was. It exceeded my expectations. It was

963
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:45.960
definitely a moment and a lot of
time I remember this, you know,

964
00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:51.679
this moment forever. It was just
so so so amazing. So I'm so

965
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:53.440
so fortunate that I was able to
go and attend, and I cannot wait

966
00:58:53.480 --> 00:58:58.239
for night too. And I'm on
X now, Matt, You've inspired me.
