00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:18.320
Hello, you're here with t and
Matthew and we are the Bing Zhang Zoom

2
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:24.120
Podcast. Can you dig it?
So recently we had one of the grandest

3
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:32.200
events of all time in the form
of WrestleMania. That's right, WrestleMania thirty

4
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:39.560
nine just passed and we have the
results. So first off, the first

5
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:50.960
match was a match between the returning
invisible individual, the doctor of Thugonomics,

6
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:58.439
mister you can't see me himself,
John Cena. He returned to face an

7
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:03.159
up and coming Austin Theory. Now
I use the term I didn't see him.

8
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.920
Oh yeah, I mean he was
there, but he only saw the

9
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:12.319
bands on his arm and the hat
he's running into the ring and the Georgs.

10
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:17.799
But no, he fought Austin Theory, who was the United States Champion,

11
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.159
and he fought him for the United
States Championship, and in a turn

12
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.879
of events that maybe was unexpected,
Austin Theory beat John Cena the Little Ring

13
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:38.719
one, two three. So John
Cena's out of there. Austin Theory now

14
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:44.439
has some cloud as if he didn't
before. He's a two time United States

15
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.879
champion, but he still needed some
type of push to bring him to the

16
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:52.439
next level. Now on the flip
side of things, John Cena because of

17
00:01:52.519 --> 00:02:00.840
his match at WrestleMania, He's wrestled
at least once every year since he came

18
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.079
into the w W, which is
crazy to think about. That was over

19
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.919
twenty years ago now, So John
Cena is the man for that. Uh.

20
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.800
I'm not his biggest fan performance wise, but he's he's all right,

21
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.159
and he's well known. He's got
he got the business known, you know,

22
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:28.719
across other platforms. All right,
exactly. I was gonna say,

23
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.680
peace bigger, that's one of my
favorite all right, so m moving on

24
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:40.400
to the next match. It was
the Man's the Man's and his name Man

25
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:47.240
John say, he's flights in every
match, right, Yeah. Uh,

26
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.240
it's the Men's wrestle Media Showcase.
This match stole WrestleMania Night one, and

27
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.560
if you're unfamiliar, WrestleMania now is
a two night deal Saturday and Sunday,

28
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:06.080
So WrestleMania Night one this was one
of the highlights, and it was not

29
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.360
necessarily expected to be one of the
highlights because it was just thrown together last

30
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:15.199
minute. It was the Street Profits
versus the Viking Raiders versus the Alpha Academy

31
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:23.199
versus Braunstroman and Ricochet with your winners
being the Street Profits. Match was excellent.

32
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.039
Go back and watch it. There's
nothing I can say that's gonna give

33
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:34.319
it. It's just due. Next
match, seth Rollins versus Logan Paul.

34
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:43.120
The Paul brothers have seemingly been all
over entertainment in the fighting world and everything,

35
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.879
and Logan Paul is officially signed to
the WWE, which is a good

36
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.919
thing because he actually can go.
It's not like they're bringing in a celebrity

37
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.080
that can't do anything. I mean, he's had a little bit of boxing

38
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.840
experience, as we've talked about on
here before. Not to get confused with

39
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.159
his brother Jake Paul, but he
was also he was a champion wrestler in

40
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:09.759
high school. And if anything,
his personality and the way he presents himself,

41
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.680
you know, I mean, he's
set up to be a hill character,

42
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:19.000
you know what I mean. He's
his personality matches WWE more than it

43
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:30.439
matches the World Boxing Federation, absolutely. But after weeks and weeks of using

44
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.279
one of his finishes, which is
the the this right hand that he apparently

45
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:45.040
has h like titanium and or something
like that, well, he was defeated

46
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:53.319
by Seth Freaking Violence Us, much
to many people's delight, me for one,

47
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.240
because I'm not the biggest Logan Paul
fan, but I respect what he

48
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.920
brings to the table as a heal
to me. Have Becky Lynch, Tris

49
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:09.839
Stratus and Leader two legends and Becky
Lynch a sure fire Hall of Famer versus

50
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:17.000
Damage Control. They beat them matches, cool night one, very entertaining Rayterio.

51
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:24.040
Yeah, who beat who in that
one? Um? It was Becky

52
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:30.000
Lynch, Trip Stratus and Leader that
defeated Damage Control. Now onto a match

53
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.680
that a lot of people wanted to
see, um and weren't sure if he

54
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:41.240
would get it because Ray Masterial had
been refusing to fight his son, his

55
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.600
Ray Masterial versus Dominic. Dominic Mysterio
had you know, talked a lot of

56
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.759
stuff about his dad, about him
not being a good father, not being

57
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:54.480
there, and wishing that Eddie was
his real Eddie Guerrero was his real dad.

58
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.240
And if you go back in history, you see there's a whole lot

59
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:03.000
of backstory to that whole Eddie Guerrero
versus Ray Masterial feud. So I'm sure

60
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.680
that kind of stung, and you
know, he's just doing things to antagonize

61
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.360
his dad. His dad finally said, you know what you wanted, I'm

62
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.959
gonna give it to you. I'm
gonna I whoopire behind that WrestleMania, and

63
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.759
that is exactly what happened. Ray
Masterio defeated Dominic, even at one point

64
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.839
pulling his belt off and spanking his
son in the middle of the ring.

65
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:30.000
So that had to be embarrassing.
But WrestleMania, it's the culmination of all

66
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:35.360
these feuds. SmackDown Women's Championship match. It was Rayre Ripley versus Charlotte Flair.

67
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.920
Charlotte Flair coming in as the champion. Yes you heard that last name

68
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.160
right, Flair as in Ric Flair, as in Ric Flair's daughter, Charlotte

69
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:51.240
Flair as the champion coming in to
defend her title against Raya Ripley and Rare

70
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:59.399
Ripley defeated Charlotte Flair clean, clean, middle of the ring, just overpowered

71
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:04.839
her, got the finish. We
had a surprise match. Um Snoop Dogg

72
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:10.879
and miss were the hosts of WrestleMania
and oh, I thought you I thought

73
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.360
you were gonna say that was the
surprise match. Snoop Dogg versus Miss Oh

74
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.959
No Snoop Dogg's done everything else in
the world. Why not you right right?

75
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:25.120
Well, on Night one, Pat
McAfee came back and defeated the Miss

76
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.120
and then impromptu match. It was
just set up. I guess Miss was

77
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:35.040
the Whoopee cushion, the punching bag
for anybody returning. Um, we'll get

78
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:40.759
more into that later and a little
bit into what you said later. Then

79
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.439
we had the final match, the
main event for WrestleMania Night one, which

80
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:51.040
was the w W Undisputed Tag Team
Champions, the usso's Jimmy and j Usso

81
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:58.399
versus Kevin Owens and Sammy Zane.
And if you've been keeping up, you

82
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.560
know the bloodline story. You know
how Sam Muzane became part of the blood

83
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.959
line. You know how Kevin Owens
and Sam Musane had it on again,

84
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:11.240
off again friendship slash what we call
it, yeah, friend of me,

85
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:18.720
yeah, friend of me ship.
And so the end result is what everybody

86
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.079
wanted to see, or not everybody, because some people are blood line big

87
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:30.839
blood line fans. But Kevin Owens
and sam Y Zane became the undisputed WWE

88
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:37.519
Tag Team Champions. After the Ussos
have held those titles for the longest amount

89
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:43.320
of time, longer than any other
tag team in w W history. That

90
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.360
was the culmination of WrestleMania Night one. WrestleMania Night two started off with the

91
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:56.639
Beast brock Lesner versus Omas. He
stands out believe seven foot four, he's

92
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.240
four hundred and twelve pounds, big
big fella. Toss brock Lessner around like

93
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.720
he was nothing, Like he was
a child. That doesn't happen, and

94
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:13.279
ultimately brock Lessner took all that,
came back and F five, the big

95
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.159
Man got him up for it.
I didn't know if he was gonna be

96
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.120
able to. You know, he
got big show up. But that was

97
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.600
a long, long time ago.
He's had many many matches UFC fights since

98
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.240
then. I'm sure plethora injuries.
But he found his way back, got

99
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:35.519
him up. F five done.
Women's WrestleMania Showcase match. That was cool,

100
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.559
but you know, nothing really to
speak up there. Don't even remember

101
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:50.480
the victor. The Intercontinental Championship match, Gunther the Intercontindal Champion versus Shamous and

102
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:56.799
Drew McIntyre. Crazy hard hitting match. If you if that's the style of

103
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.720
match that you like, you like
to see, as he would say it,

104
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:05.200
big meaty men slapping meat. This
is your style of match. I

105
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:16.240
think I think that's a different website. But yes, then, well in

106
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.159
this match you had Gunther, the
Intercontinal champion retained his title against Jamis and

107
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.360
Drew McIntire definitely didn't think it was
gonna go that way. The Raw Women's

108
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:33.159
champion, Bianca Belair fought against Oscar
Great match. Didn't know which way it

109
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.799
was gonna go, but Bianca Belair
pulled it off. At the end of

110
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:41.679
the day her entrance, she came
in with the Divas of Compton, and

111
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.120
the story goes one of the little
girls in the Divas of Compton who helped

112
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.559
her, who helped Bianca during her
entrance. Her mom had passed away earlier

113
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.679
that day, yet she still showed
up for WrestleMania, still came out there

114
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.279
with a smile on her face and
danced and so gud through that girl.

115
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.200
I really hope that that's a made
up story if her mom died that day.

116
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.799
But she's like, yeah, I
still gotta go to work. That's

117
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.759
a that's kind of messed up.
I gotta say, well, she was

118
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:20.799
definitely she was definitely there for the
motivation factor, you know, for the

119
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:26.240
president's factor and to be seen.
And she definitely put her her best foot

120
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.559
forward. Good for her, you
know, doing if it, If it

121
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:33.840
helped her, then good for her. You know, precisely I agree with

122
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:43.320
that one. And Snoop. Snoop
in a roundabout way, found himself in

123
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.679
a match with the Miss. Yes, first I left, I dropped the

124
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:56.039
lead too early. I'm sorry.
Yeah, well he had this nice,

125
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.360
big, shiny goal about that he
was given a while ago. Uh,

126
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:01.840
one of the similar to the one
that I have sitting here on the desk,

127
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.480
but his is all gold. So
basically what happened was Shane McMahon made

128
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:15.159
his return to WWE, and you
know, crowd goes wild and Snoop is

129
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.240
like, hey, look I'm the
host. I have power and privilege to

130
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.440
do this and that, so I
can make a match. So he makes

131
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.759
the match between Shane McMahon and the
Miss. So Shane gets all hype,

132
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:33.279
you know, doing what he does
and ends up tearing his squad didn't match.

133
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.200
Referees come in, they look at
him, they're checking on him,

134
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.879
and Snoop is just like, wait, hold on a second, I just

135
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.080
booked this match. You made my
man mess up his quad. So they

136
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:50.559
get Shane out of the ring and
Snoop proceeds to take Shane's place, lands

137
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.480
a punch on the mids, miss
falls down, and then Snoop proceeds to

138
00:12:52.519 --> 00:13:03.559
do a one star people's elbows and
gets the pin for the winds. I

139
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.639
know it's an old joke. I
know it's something that people said before,

140
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.000
But Snoop Dogg he's finished the game. He's just doing side missions now.

141
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:13.799
Just everything he's doing it is just
like, hell, yeah, I could

142
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.440
go do this. Russell Many,
Yeah, why not? No for real?

143
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.320
Seriously, Helena Cell Edge versus Finn
Balord. This was the demon Finnbalor.

144
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.480
This was the Finn Balord that won
the Universal Championship. Finn Balor,

145
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:37.120
Massive Talent Edge, Massive Talent Edge, forty plus years old in his late

146
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.200
forties, still doing it at a
high level, came back after breaking his

147
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.039
neck. You know, Finn Balor
was injured. His shoulder was bad.

148
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.480
He had to relinquish the Universal Championship, which he never got back, but

149
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:56.879
still great performer. He an edge
Or in a heated rivalry between Edges group

150
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:05.840
that he made the judgment day you
two Edge placed the guitar. Also,

151
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.200
um but no Edge defeated Finn Balor. One high point in the match as

152
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.120
threw a ladder at Finnbalor's head and
I thought the match was gonna be over

153
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.600
because Finn Balor had a gash pretty
much taken up his whole skull on the

154
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.679
top of his head from the middle
running all the way down to about his

155
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.960
headline, and uh yeah, it
was looking bad. But the match is

156
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:37.559
called hell in the Cell and they
just explained why. That explains why um

157
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.279
but yes, Edge defeated Finn Balor
in that match. Then you had the

158
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:50.679
main event, the undisputed w W
Universal Championship on the line. Roman reigned

159
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:56.559
the champion defending against Cody Rhodes.
Everybody wanted to see Cody Rhodes finished the

160
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.559
story, right, you know.
He They both talked about that families in

161
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:05.840
wrestling, how the Rhodes family in
wrestling, and you have the the Samoan

162
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:13.200
lineage in professional wrestling, which is
what the bloodline represents, what Roman rains

163
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.159
represents. He's the head of the
table, he's the champion. He's been

164
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.559
the champion for nine hundred plus days
at this point, and if he beats

165
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.000
Cordy Rhodes and holds it for another
couple of months, he becomes the champion

166
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:31.080
for a thousand days. Cordy Rhodes
put up a good fight, a great

167
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:37.039
fight, but there were too many
variables. Roman Rains had Paul Haman at

168
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:43.240
his side and he also had Solo
Sakoa at his side, and that was

169
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.399
too much for Cody Rhodes to get
the victory. Roman Reigns defeats Cordy Rhodes

170
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:58.960
at WrestleMania and that closed the show
WrestleMania. This WrestleMania, in my opinion,

171
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.960
was one of the best WrestleManias ever. All the matches, bar and

172
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:12.639
maybe the snoop and the women's random
thrown together match, everything else was on

173
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:18.240
point. This WrestleMania is like nine
point five nine to a nine point five

174
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:25.039
for me. Definitely worth seeing and
it's a rewatchable WrestleMania because the matches were

175
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:32.960
just insane. So I gotta ask. I've been hearing mostly negative responses to

176
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.240
this WrestleMania, people saying that they
didn't like it. What would you say

177
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.879
to persuade those people over to your
side, to say that it is one

178
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:47.759
of the best. I'd say to
look at it from the standpoint of your

179
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.320
interest. So your investment in this
WrestleMania proves why it was one of the

180
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:59.639
best WrestleManias. There was so much
invested in it. And this is not

181
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.119
like you know, it's not like
a franchise that you know, it's not

182
00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:07.720
like Batman or Superman or something that
is established and it's in the comics what

183
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.519
happens, and you want to see
it play out in live action. You

184
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.400
know these characters, these wrestlers,
and you want to see them perform.

185
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.400
And a lot of people just wanted
to see the story get finished. A

186
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:25.079
lot of people just wanted to see
Cody Rhodes defeat Roman Reigns and they felt

187
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:30.000
like by him getting shorted, it
will never be you know, the fire

188
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.119
will never be this hot again for
Cody Rhodes, and I smod I agree

189
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:38.680
with that. However, it was
it was perfect, although the villain one

190
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:45.880
it was absolutely like it was near
flawless. And I mean, you can

191
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.319
go back and look at some WrestleManias
and you know, say, okay,

192
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.319
but all the WrestleManias had their weak
matches. All the WrestleMania had their concession

193
00:17:52.400 --> 00:18:00.440
stand popcorn point matches. This WrestleMania
was that was kept to a minimum,

194
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.359
a minimum. All of the matches
were good, if not great, And

195
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.759
that's that's pretty difficult to do when
you counter and all the when you factor

196
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.960
in all the nerves that people have
and so on. So I would just

197
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.039
say, look at your investment.
Look how much that you were invested in

198
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.559
it. That already brings it up
to a certain level. And then the

199
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.440
outcomes in some of the matches,
how the stories finally got ended, you

200
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:27.920
know, after the dominic mysterial thing
and so on, like the entrances,

201
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.759
the how big the stage was,
how many people were there, the two

202
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:37.240
nights, the whole thing. It
really embodied what WrestleMania is supposed to be

203
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:44.079
in my opinion, And so that's
what I would say, should bring you

204
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.319
along. It keeps the story going. If Batman locks the Joker up,

205
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.680
you know in in issue number one, locks him up, gets out of

206
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:55.480
there, or kills him to where
he can never be an issue again,

207
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.880
do we have the main antagonist for
Batman anymore? Exactly? And I think

208
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.400
those are wise words. Those are
wise words. Keep the storyline going,

209
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.839
and on that note that brings us
to a close. Thank you guys for
