WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:06.719
You know this company, This company
is something else. You know, when

2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.640
Cody Roads won the Royal Rumble last
weekend, We're less than a week removed

3
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.480
from the Royal Rumble. And do
you remember the first thing that Cody Rhoads

4
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.359
did after he won the Royal Rumble. Do you remember who he looked up

5
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:22.960
to and pointed up at when that
Royal Rumble was over? Because I do.

6
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.719
I was there, and I remember
Cody Rhodes climbing the turnbuckles and he

7
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.119
looked up. And you had both
champions in different skyboxes the Tropicana Field.

8
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.200
You had seth Rollins in one and
the other you had Roman Reigns in Paul

9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:43.200
Hayman, and Cody Rhoads looked up
at Roman Reigns and he pointed at him.

10
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:48.600
He made it very clear who he
wanted to go after a WrestleMania.

11
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:53.719
He made it very clear the championship
that he was most interested in going after,

12
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:58.960
because it was last year at WrestleMania
that Cody Roads got screwed. He

13
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.880
got screwed over by the bloodline of
WrestleMania, and this was going to be

14
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.400
finally a full circle moment for him. He was going to get his revenge

15
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.239
on Roman Reigns at WrestleMania forty and
then on rame Monday night. It was

16
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:18.239
very odd because we had Seth Rollins
come out and get in the ring with

17
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:23.079
Cody Roads, and Seth Rollins was
practically begging this man to pick him,

18
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.079
pick me go after the World Heavyweight
title at WrestleMania. This is the workhorse

19
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.480
title, right you want to be
the workhorse champion. Roman Reigns never shows

20
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.239
up for work. Roman Rains is
never around. I'm the one that you

21
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.239
want to get in the ring with
and challenge at WrestleMania. I'm surprised he

22
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.079
didn't get down on his knees in
front of this man. It was very

23
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:49.599
strange. Maybe that should have been
a sign. And then they announced that

24
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.239
Cody Rhodes was coming to SmackDown tonight
and Roman Rains walked to the ring tonight

25
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.159
and did you notice who the fans
were chanting for. Roman Reigns got to

26
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:06.519
the ring tonight, they were chanting
for Cody Rhoades. They had buying from

27
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:10.319
the audience in Birmingham tonight. They
had buy in from the fans who wanted

28
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.759
to see Cody Roads and Roman Reigns
in a rematch from wrestle Mani at thirty

29
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.000
nine, And they're very fortunate in
that respect, because it would have been

30
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.840
very easy over the past year for
the fans to fall out of interest in

31
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.840
seeing this match. Well, we
already got it at WrestleMania last year.

32
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.800
Cody's a loser, just like everybody
else, and he didn't win over the

33
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.520
course of the past year all the
things they had him doing with Brock and

34
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.719
with knock Amra, just biding his
time and waiting, but they stuck with

35
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.280
him. They invested in him as
one of their top baby faces. He

36
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.919
took the ball and ran with it. Fans haven't turned on him yet,

37
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.560
even though we're all sick and tired
of hearing about the story. It's been

38
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.479
played up so much it's a fucking
meme now. But they had buy in

39
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.599
from the fans. They were chanting
Cody's name when Roman came to the ring

40
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:06.680
tonight and Roman Reigns is talking crap
about Seth Rollins, and Roman Rains is

41
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.599
talking crap about Cody Rhodes and he
says, you don't want that guy,

42
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.240
you want me. This is the
title that you want to come after.

43
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:20.039
Here comes Cody Rhoades. He comes
down to the ring, clears the ring.

44
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.439
It's just him and Roman Reigns,
and he says, that's the title

45
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.319
that I want. That's the belt
that I want. That's the title that

46
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.759
was taken away from my father that
Bruno San Martino had. I don't look

47
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.360
at it as the Hollywood Belt.
You can call it whatever you want.

48
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.039
That's the championship I want. And
not only that, I'm gonna move the

49
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:43.080
goalposts. I want that title.
I want to take it from you,

50
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:51.560
and I'm going to But not at
WrestleMania. Now, fuck me. I

51
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.840
could have just sworn that I watched
this guy win the Royal Rumble match,

52
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.840
and that the winner of the Royal
Rumble was supposed to come out and challenge

53
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.840
so to a championship match in the
main event of WrestleMania. But Cody said

54
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:08.840
he had a chat with somebody.
He had a discussion with a certain someone,

55
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:15.000
and then boom the music hits and
here comes the Rock, the newest

56
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:20.800
member of the TKO board. Very
busy man these days. He came out

57
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.560
our raw month ago and said maybe
I should take a seat at the head

58
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.920
of the table. And then we
got the reports that Rock still hadn't signed

59
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.240
on the dotted line yet. He
wanted to do the match with Roman Reigns,

60
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.199
but nothing was etched in Stone,
and I just thought to myself,

61
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:42.360
how is this possible? The Royal
Rumble is here. Wwe can't keep waiting

62
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.800
on this guy. They have to
have some sense of what they're going to

63
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.399
do at WrestleMania. They have to
plan accordingly. They have to figure out

64
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.920
what their plans are going to be. They can't just wait on this guy

65
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:57.680
to make up his fucking mind.
Apparently he made up his mind, and

66
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.000
the Rock came out and everybody lost
their minds. And he came down to

67
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:08.240
the ring and Cody put you know, his handout to accept the Rock's handshake,

68
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.839
and the Rock pulled him in.
The Rock gave him a big old

69
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.480
hug. We couldn't tell exactly what
he was whispering. He was saying something

70
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.839
to Cody Rhodes. It looked to
me like maybe what he was saying is

71
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:26.120
dreams over you, fucking geek.
But his back was turned, so you

72
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.199
know, I couldn't really tell.
It was hard to tell. I couldn't

73
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.839
see his lips moving. I only
hope that Cody Rhoades when he got to

74
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:38.519
the back tonight. I really hope
that the first thing he did was go

75
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:46.040
to the trainer's room to seek medical
attention for the knife that Dwayne planted in

76
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.199
his back. Because the last thing
this company needs right now, this is

77
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.720
the last thing this company can ill
afford, is another injury. I mean,

78
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.920
people are They're dropping like fucking flies
in this company left and right,

79
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.759
going down to all kinds of injuries. The last thing they need is Cody

80
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:06.120
ro Ohades to be stabbed in the
back and be out of wrestlemate. What

81
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:14.160
Cody Rose was doing tonight on SmackDown
effectively was he was there playing the role

82
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:19.839
of Brett the hitman Heart at WrestleMania
nine, and the Rock was out there

83
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:27.399
playing the role of Hulk Hogan coming
out to save the day. Funny enough,

84
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:32.120
the champion that night was also part
of this whole Samoan tribe. You

85
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.959
know, I would sit here and
tell you that this fucking family must have

86
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.000
some dirty photos or something on Vince
McMahon, But that guy's got a lot

87
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.399
more on his plate right now.
That's the least of his fucking problems,

88
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:51.079
that fucking debiant, So whatever it
is the Samoans always seemed to have,

89
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.160
you know, a nice little cushy
spot here in this company as far back

90
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.399
as I can remember, as far
back as I've been a fan. See

91
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.519
I'm Punk came on Roll Monday night. He told us that he tourist tricep.

92
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.480
He's at a wrestle medi he was
in the ring, he was crying,

93
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.800
his tears were welling up in his
eyes, and out the window went

94
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.639
the Night one wrestle Media Maine event. Because there was not a doubt in

95
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.480
my mind that the Night one WrestleMania
Maine event was going to be Seth Rollins

96
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.560
defending the World Heavyweight title against CM
Punk. CM Punk was going to go

97
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.800
to the elimination chamber, which he
was already advertised for. Unlike Roman Reins,

98
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.199
he was going to go to the
elimination chamber. He was probably going

99
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.160
to win, and we were going
to get Rollins and Punk and that was

100
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:35.160
going to be your Night one wrestle
Media Maine event. Is that what happened

101
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:41.759
here? Did the CM Punk injury
derail their plans? And this was an

102
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.120
audible they called earlier in the week
they got the Rock to sign on.

103
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.920
They said, hey, we need
you. We lost Punk, we lost

104
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.560
our Night one main event. We
need a big attraction, and that was

105
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.600
the catalyst to get Dwayne to sign
on and get the buy in from him.

106
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.560
And now we would have had Cody
and Roman. But now we're going

107
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.160
to get Roman in Rock because Punk
went down. It's possible. It's possible

108
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.240
they panicked and they pivoted to a
plan B and this is their Plan B.

109
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.399
Maybe they weren't going to do Rock
and Rome in a WrestleMania and now

110
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.279
they are. Or maybe it's just
that the Rock gets what the Rock wants.

111
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.600
After all, he is the newest
board member, so he's got more

112
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.439
power now than ever before. What
the Rock wants the Rock gets. You

113
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.600
know who found that out years ago? CM Punk, and now Cody Roads

114
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.879
is finding out the same thing.
And I know why WWWEE is doing it.

115
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.080
I get it. Look, it's
the same reason why they did Rock

116
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.320
and John Cena back at WrestleMania twenty
eight, which up to that point was

117
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.440
the biggest WrestleMania main event, the
biggest WrestleMania box office they had ever done

118
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.559
in their history. It's a huge
match, That's why they did it.

119
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.919
I thought maybe it was going to
be a passing of the torch moment.

120
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.960
They ended up having this whole three
year long storyline that started with Rock at

121
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.639
twenty seven, and then they had
the match at twenty eight, and then

122
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.519
he lost to John Cena and he
raised his hand at twenty nine. It

123
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.000
was his whole story arc, and
then they had to rebuild the Rock like

124
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.679
he's fucking humpty dumpty, because every
fucking muscle and part of his body fell

125
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.960
apart in that second match. But
that's why they did it, because it's

126
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.759
big business, it's box office.
I'm not oblivious to that. I'm not

127
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.919
a fucking idiot. I know why
they want The Rock on their shows.

128
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.279
Any promoter would want The Rock on
his show because The Rock is one of

129
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.080
the biggest stars in the entire world. And if the Rock wants to come

130
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.879
back, WWE is not going to
go Nope, sorry, we don't got

131
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.000
any room for you. So I
get it. I understand why they would

132
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.000
want to do it. This is
a match that Rock has talked about for

133
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.960
years, has been asked about in
interviews for years. It was supposed to

134
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.080
happen last year and it didn't.
We wouldn't even be sitting here talking about

135
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.320
Cody losing a WrestleMania last year,
because WrestleMania last year very easily could have

136
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.440
been Rock and Roman, and then
they put their pencils down because they couldn't

137
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.480
figure out what to do, and
so we never got it. But along

138
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:58.320
the way, WWE made another star. They had a story that it looked

139
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.559
like we were on the way to
paying off WrestleMania this year. That doesn't

140
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.000
appear to be the case any long. Cody came out here tonight, he

141
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.039
made it very clear he wants Roman
reigns, he wants that WWE championship,

142
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.120
but it's just not going to happen
at WrestleMania. And so now we are

143
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.879
led to believe that he is going
to take Seth Rollins up on that offer

144
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.600
that he made to him on Raw
Monday Night to challenge him for the World

145
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.639
Heavyweight title of WrestleMania. Is that
now our new Night one main event in

146
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.519
lieu of Punkin Rollins? Are we
going to get Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins

147
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.879
Part four? We've already seen it
three times. Cody is three and zero

148
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.720
against this guy. Were going to
get Part four for the World Heavyweight title?

149
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:48.679
The Workhorse title at WrestleMania forty.
None of this is confirmed. We

150
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.519
are to infer this from what we
saw at the end of the show tonight,

151
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.000
but there are a lot of balls
up in the air right now.

152
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.240
We don't know for sure if that's
what's going on here looks that way,

153
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.200
or is Cody maybe going to cash
in that rumble title match that he's owed

154
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.240
against Roman, but maybe he's gonna
do it at the elimination Chamber. That

155
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:15.759
seems very unlikely to me, but
it's possible. It's possible that because of

156
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.799
the Punk injury, things are changing
and now Roman Reigns is going to work

157
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.440
the elimination Chamber. But here,
do you honestly believe if Roman was going

158
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.960
to work Cody and lose the title, that they would want Roman to lose

159
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.840
on the show before he wrestles the
Rock. When Roman has gone undefeated for

160
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.519
all this time, It doesn't really
fit in what WWE probably wants this match

161
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:43.720
to be, which is the battle
of their top champion, undefeated now one

162
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.679
on one for so many years in
singles matches. The last time he was

163
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:52.039
pinned in a singles match, forget
the tag match against the Ussos last year

164
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.320
in a singles match was at TLC
in twenty nineteen against Baron Fucking Corbin.

165
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.480
Are they gonna beat Roman Reigns on
the show before WrestleMania and then send him

166
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.480
into combat against the Rock And let's
say they do that, Cody Rhodes wins,

167
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.799
he finishes the story, he becomes
the WWE Champion. What does WrestleMania

168
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:16.600
look like now? Because if they're
doing Rock and Roman, that's the main

169
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.919
event. No matter what, that's
the main event. Cody is the WWE

170
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.960
Champion. All right, Well,
what does he do? He defends against

171
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.080
Randy Orton. I'd love to see
Cody defend against Randy Orton. I figure

172
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.120
maybe that could be the Summer Slim
main event. But if they did it

173
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.159
at WrestleMania, it almost doesn't even
matter who it is, because whatever they

174
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.679
choose to do is automatically going to
be second fiddle to Rock and Roman.

175
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:45.559
Not exactly the ideal situation. But
is the elimination chamber possible? Sure,

176
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.200
it's possible, I don't think that's
very likely. Doesn't mean that Cody Rhods

177
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.360
is going to finish the story at
next year's WrestleMania. Are we looking at

178
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.759
twenty twenty five and WrestleMania forty one. You know, Cody Rhods is quickly

179
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.519
because I mean the fucking New York
Mets of the WWE. Maybe next year.

180
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.600
There's always next year. Trust me, you don't want to be the

181
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.759
New York Mets of the WWE.
So is that where we're looking at it?

182
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.120
We're looking at WrestleMania next year?
Perhaps, I sure as fuck hope

183
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.440
not, because that would mean we
have another year of Paul Hayman talking into

184
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:28.240
his phone. Paul Roman rains how
riveting, riveting television, which also means,

185
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.440
of course, that that would allow
Roman means to pass Hulk Hogan's imaginary

186
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.120
record that everybody is talking about.
That doesn't mean a goddamn thing. All

187
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:43.200
I keep hearing about the Hogan record, The Hogan record. Yeah, Hogan

188
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:50.080
had a record in nineteen ninety five, and it fucking sucked, although according

189
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.639
to him, he wrote all the
songs with Jimmy harton one night. Great

190
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.919
fucking lyricist, this guy is.
You want Hogan's record, go listen to

191
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.120
Hogan's record. There is no fucking
Hogan record. Every week I have to

192
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.000
hear about the Hogan record. I
go really. I hear the word record,

193
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.159
I think, man, this guy's
in the top spot. What top

194
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.440
spot is he in? I would
love to know. People still fail to

195
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.799
tell me. I keep asking the
question. Nobody tells me, Oh,

196
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.399
oh, I see, he's gonna
go from number four to number three.

197
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.200
That's the record that you're talking about. That's the record that everybody is crowing

198
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:31.399
about that he has to be Why
because WWE is trying to bury Hulk Hogan.

199
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.840
Because WWE is trying to hide Hulk
Hogan from people. The same Hull

200
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.120
Cogan who was a guest at the
Royal Rumble on Saturday in Tampa, the

201
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:45.080
same Hulk Hogan who opened the Royal
Rumble literally in the video package, was

202
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.759
basically the de facto host of the
Royal Rumble. Y, they're not doing

203
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.399
a very good job of hiding this
guy, if that's what they're trying to

204
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.360
do, sounds to me like a
lot of people who were talking out of

205
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.759
their ass. Is that what we're
gonna get? Are we gonna have to

206
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.559
go? Or another year of this, another year of the bloodline? I

207
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:09.000
will say that WrestleMania is still two
months away. A lot can happen in

208
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.039
two months. All we have is
what we saw at the end of SmackDown

209
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.759
tonight. So it's possible that they
will throw another curveball our way. Maybe

210
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.039
in the end things will make sense. Maybe in the end it'll be it'll

211
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.279
all fall into it's a place where
it belongs. But the way it looks

212
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.799
right now, coming out of SmackDown
tonight, we are likely getting the two

213
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:35.679
part timers one on one in the
WrestleMania Made event this year. You know

214
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:41.120
you have the WWE Championship is in
play here. This is a match that,

215
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:45.639
as I've said countless times before,
does not need to be for a

216
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.120
championship. And if they do the
match and it's non title, that's even

217
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.000
worse because you're not gonna not have
the WWE title defended at Wrestlemane. But

218
00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:00.320
this is a match that doesn't need
a championship, nor does Rock need to

219
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.600
be wrestling for one, nor does
Rock need to hold one ever again,

220
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.039
this is a match about the head
of the table, the tribal chief,

221
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:12.639
right, who's a number one in
that family. If you're gonna tell that

222
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.440
story, that's the only story you
need to tell there. It doesn't need

223
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.480
to be for a championship, which
is why I said, if they're gonna

224
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.879
do Rock and Roman at some point, cool, but you get that title

225
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.360
away from Roman Reigns because it is
not necessary, and you do the match

226
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.519
strictly as a special attraction. As
things stand right now at this moment,

227
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.320
as I am streaming live, it
does not look like that is going to

228
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.960
be the case, and Roman Reigns
is going to go into WrestleMania as the

229
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:45.240
undisputed WWE champion. And I asked
the question why, why, what sense

230
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.720
does that make? Why is that
necessary? So they're gonna get their headlines.

231
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.720
They've already sold out or virtually sold
out both Knights to WrestleMania, So

232
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.759
at this point it's not even about
selling tickets. Boy, they're gonna sell

233
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.279
out ever already basically sold that.
It's not even about that they'll have their

234
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.839
highest ever Peacock viewership. I'm sure
they'll make headlines all over the world.

235
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.799
Right they get Rock now to go
out there and do press for the show.

236
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:17.119
It's gonna be big for them,
and it'll be a nice temporary distraction

237
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.480
from the very real problems that this
company is about to face. You think

238
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.200
the last week or so has been
bad for WWE. You ain't seen nothing

239
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.720
yet. Just based off the news
that came out today, this company is

240
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:36.000
in for a rude awakening, so
this will be a nice little distraction for

241
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.160
a while. They can claim Rock
is coming back, He's gonna wrestle his

242
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.319
first match. And however many years
it's been, it's been a long time

243
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.640
since we've seen Rock in an actual
match. You'd have to go all the

244
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.920
way back to WrestleMania the last time
against John Cena. Okay, not counting

245
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:53.599
the six second bullshit there with Eric
Rowing. It's been a long time since

246
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.400
we've seen the Rock in the ring. So they can get a lot of

247
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.480
mileage out of this, and they
can get a nice little distraction. All

248
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.440
their problems, though, are not
going to be going away anytime soon.

249
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.920
They'll have something to celebrate in the
meantime. But make no mistake about it,

250
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:10.960
they did Cody Rhoades dirty tonight is
what they did. He can go

251
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.000
out there and he could put a
nice smile on. He's like the John

252
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.200
Cena now of WWE. It doesn't
matter what you do to this guy,

253
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.960
He'll go out there. He'll have
a smile on his face. Right He's

254
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.680
a great representative for the company.
He's everything that they want and a top

255
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:27.559
guy and all the stuff he does. He's very fan friendly and all that

256
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.279
shit. So he's out there with
a smile on his face. But you

257
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.640
know, I don't know when they
sprung this news on him. I can't

258
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.079
imagine that they told him weeks ago. This probably all came about very quickly.

259
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.559
I can only imagine what was going
through his head when they said,

260
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.720
yeah, you know about that WrestleMania
main event, We're going to go in

261
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.039
a different direction this year. We're
gonna give it to Dwayne. And I'm

262
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:53.799
reminded of something that Cody said that
John Cena told him after WrestleMania last year.

263
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.319
They had a conversation at some point. I think I forgot where he

264
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.279
said it, but Cody made a
comment something to the effective John Cena just

265
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:06.519
told him based on what happened in
last year's WrestleMania main event, because you

266
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:07.720
know, it had a bum Cody
out on some level. I mean,

267
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.279
it's all k fab and everything.
I mean, look, he's still in

268
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.519
a great spot right, he's featured, he's probably making great money, but

269
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.559
you know, on some level,
he was bummed to have his family and

270
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:22.640
Negative one and everybody else in the
stadium last year and to fall short.

271
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.160
And I think it was John Cena
who told him, look, you just

272
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:30.799
got to go out there for however
long it takes and be the champion without

273
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.359
the belt. And Cody's been doing
that for the past year, and the

274
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.519
way things look right now, based
on tonight, he may be doing that

275
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.759
for a while yet, because even
if he gets seth Rawlins at WrestleMania,

276
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.559
no guarantee he's gonna win the World
heavyweight title. Maybe he does, maybe

277
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.519
he doesn't. But Roman Reigns in
that final segment tonight, was out there

278
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:55.440
burying Seth Rawlins in the World Heavyweight
title. He called him little brother,

279
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.880
and he said that, wait,
isn't that the belt that is fought for

280
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:07.039
by all the people that I've already
beaten? I another Romans ever actually beat

281
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.759
seth But he's not wrong, not
wrong when he says that. Right,

282
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.839
there's plenty of people in this company
right now who have wrestled for that World

283
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.079
Heavyweight title ever since seth Rollins has
won it. Drew McIntyre being one of

284
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:26.720
those men who have been defeated and
beaten and thrown to the side by Roman

285
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:32.640
Raigns. It's like the Roman Reigns
scraps and he's out there burying Seth Rollins

286
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:40.839
and this fucking belt, calling it
a second rate belt and telling Cody Rhoades,

287
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.880
well, you know, you can
wrestle basically for number two, or

288
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:47.359
you can come and come for the
King basically and wrestle for the real title.

289
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:51.519
You can wrestle for the WWE Championship. And what Cody did tonight on

290
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:56.119
the show, what they had him
do by stepping aside willingly voluntarily for the

291
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:00.880
Rock after he just won the Royal
Rumble, and he just spent five minutes

292
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:06.359
on this show tonight telling us,
I want that belt. That's the belt

293
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.960
that I want. That's the belt
that means something in me. That's the

294
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.880
one that I want. After all
of that that he would willingly step aside.

295
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.440
I would love to know what Rock
promised him supposedly on this promo.

296
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.160
Did Rock promise him a role in
his next movie or so that what he

297
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:25.720
promised Cody Roads here is you gonna
be the fucking Deny Scorpion King. Like

298
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:30.400
what he promised him, he willingly
stepped aside. They made Cody Rhodes look

299
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:37.680
like a fucking imbecile tonight by willingly
stepping aside two months before WrestleMania and sacrificing

300
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.680
a shot at the belt that he
wants so bad. He has not shut

301
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:44.000
up about it ever since he came
back to the company from the night after

302
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.400
WrestleMania thirty eight. We have heard
about the story, right, he hasn't

303
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:52.359
shut up about it, and he
willingly steps aside. The other thing that

304
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.160
this promo did, it reinforced everything
that Roman Reigns had to say in that

305
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:03.119
promo about the world heavyweight title being
second raid, being second fiddle. Little

306
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:10.680
brother the Rock came out tonight and
Cody Rhoades played little brother to the Rock.

307
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.039
No matter what they have him doing
now at WrestleMania this year main event

308
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:21.079
night one cool, little brother versus
little Brother. That's all it's gonna be.

309
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.559
The Roman Reigns confirmed what we already
knew about that world title. It

310
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:27.680
just hits a little bit differently to
have your top star go out on live

311
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:33.279
television and reinforce the point and tell
everybody what you already know. And that's

312
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:41.920
exactly what they did tonight. This
is your SmackDown review for February second,

313
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:48.640
Groundhog Day twenty and twenty four.
I didn't even see if the fucking groundhog

314
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.759
saw his shadow today. I bet
you if the groundhog had popped his head

315
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.240
out to watch this show, he's
gonna burrow it back in the ground.

316
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:59.000
We won't see him again for another
year. Even the groundhog is in the

317
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:02.240
ground saying, oh my god,
another year of fucking call Roman reigns.

318
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.279
The groundhog doesn't want to be bothered. I don't blame it. There are

319
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:08.960
a lot of other things happening on
the show tonight too. There's a lot

320
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:15.279
of talent that's being fought after between
the two general managers, Adam Pearce and

321
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.160
Nick Alliss. We have some NXT
talent, including bron Breaker, who's a

322
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.839
free agent right now going a one
show or the other, we don't know

323
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.559
which. Tiffany Stratton officially signed with
SmackDown. A lot of exciting things going

324
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.799
on, overshadowed by all of this, of course, but a lot of

325
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:36.279
exciting things going on it. One
other thing I want to mention here before

326
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.319
we get into this and we'll talk
more about this whole situation. I want

327
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:45.319
to just say rest in peace to
Carl Weathers if he didn't see the news.

328
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:51.680
Carl Weathers actor passed away. We
just saw him tonight during SmackDown.

329
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:56.839
He was in the fan Dual Kick
commercial with Gronkowski. I think John Cena

330
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.440
was in the commercial too. There
he was right there on my TI television

331
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:07.319
screen. But Rocky Predator Happy Gilmore. I know he was in the Mandalorian

332
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:10.480
as well. Very bummed to hear
about his passing. So rest in peace

333
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:17.079
to Carl Weathers. Do me a
favor here. I will unpause the superchats

334
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:18.079
because I know a bunch of them
are going to come in now. You

335
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.480
can send a super chat if you
want to. I'm sure you guys.

336
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.039
I'm sure you guys have a lot
to say about this fucking show tonight.

337
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.000
So we will talk about this and
I will get to your messages a little

338
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.000
bit later. You'll see him popping
up on screen. Hit that like button

339
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:34.480
as well, even if you didn't
like SmackDown, if you didn't like the

340
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:38.720
ending of SmackDown tonight, hit the
like button here anyway on this screen,

341
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:44.440
and hit that subscribe button as well. We hit seventy seven thousand on Monday,

342
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.759
so thank you for that. Kevin
Patrick is gone. We don't have

343
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.079
to listen to Kevin Patrick anymore because
they fired the guy. He's no longer

344
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.839
the lead announcer on SmackDown. Michael
Cole and Pat McAfee are the new broadcast

345
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:03.039
team on Raw. Michael Cole is
no longer with Wade Barrett, which was

346
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:04.960
a bummer because I thought they were
a good Perry. Wade Barrett is now

347
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:10.079
on SmackDown and the new SmackDown announced
team for the time being. Anyway,

348
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:14.400
Corey Graves has been made the lead
announcer. I thought he did fine tonight,

349
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.480
but it is possible they could be
looking to someone outside the company.

350
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.200
It was a little weird because you
Graves tends to be more of a healish

351
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:22.960
announcer, and so does Wade Barrett, so it was kind of like we

352
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.599
had two heel announcers on the show
tonight. But I thought they did fine.

353
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:33.240
They showed Roman Reigns and the Bloodline
arriving to the arena earlier today,

354
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:38.440
and then they showed Damage Control and
Bailey as they were walking into the empty

355
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:45.599
arena earlier today to look out,
Cody Rhodes and Faroh the Dog. They

356
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.599
showed them arriving to the building.
I wonder if the rock put the knife

357
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.200
and the dog too while he was
there. Logan Paul came out to the

358
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.960
ring for a promo. He is
still, as I said, the United

359
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.799
States Champion. He said he underestimated
Kevin Owens at first. He said,

360
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:06.200
he still looks like a pissed off
donut. But he gave him credit for

361
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.799
doing more damage to him than Floyd
Mayweather did. He said he made Logan

362
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:14.680
bleed and he nearly knocked him out, and yet Owen still lost and he

363
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.880
is still the United States Champion.
He said he is one of the toughest

364
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.359
people on this very brittle roster.
And he made fun of all the people

365
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.960
who are hurt right now. He
said, booh, I hurt my triceep,

366
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:33.200
I got a boomboo on my knee. It is ridiculous how many people

367
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.480
are out hurt right now with torn
acls. I saw Danny Palmer, who's

368
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.680
a talent on the NXT roster.
She just had double hip surgery. Was

369
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:47.599
she like in her early twenties,
So she's all laid up now for god

370
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.079
knows how long. She just had
a double hip operation. Apparently the first

371
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:52.240
one went well. I don't know
if she had the second one. Yet

372
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.599
we have Punk with the torn tri
SEPs. Bruce Pritchard is out with the

373
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.039
torn try SEPs. If I'm Bruce, I'm hiding out as long as possible,

374
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:04.000
so I don't know what's going on. Charlotte flares out with the torn

375
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:10.880
acl So he was making fun of
the very brittle roster here. He says,

376
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:15.960
we all get hurt, everybody except
me. The Beast from the East,

377
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.160
the Best from the West, time, unbreakable, one of one.

378
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:25.640
I am your United States Champion Logan
Paul. So the Beast from the East

379
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:30.480
was interrupted by Kevin Owens, and
Owens said that he forgot to add unbearable

380
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.960
idiot to the list of names he
just gave. He called the Royal Rumble

381
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.160
a marl victory for him because even
though he didn't win the title, he

382
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.799
got to knock the hell out of
Logan Paul. But now he says he's

383
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.359
ready to restore a level of prestige
and honor to that belt so he can

384
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:52.039
get it off of him and get
it sanitized as soon as possible. Logan

385
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.759
said it's too bad that Owens didn't
take advantage of his one and only shot

386
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.799
at the US title. The brass
knuckles was a setup. He outsmarted him.

387
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.519
Owen's admitted, yeah, I got
caught, and he realizes that everybody

388
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.000
was mad at the referee for that, but he put over the referee.

389
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.000
He said, good job, you
did the right thing. He does a

390
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:15.359
fantastic job by the referee. He
goes, I got caught and that's my

391
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.720
fault. But the next time we
get in the ring, he says he

392
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.359
doesn't need brass knuckles to beat his
dumbass. So he got up in Logan's

393
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.559
face. Logan told him to back
up because he smells b I have not

394
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.640
tried Logan Paul's prime drink. I
don't know how good it is or isn't.

395
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.799
But Owen said he bathed in it, and Logan told him, look,

396
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:38.440
it's over all right. You're done. You're not getting a rematch.

397
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.440
You blew it. He told him
to focus on your match with Austin theory.

398
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.200
I'm going to go outside here and
I'm going to do commentary for this

399
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:52.160
next match and find myself a real
challenger. So the finish of the Royal

400
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.680
Rumble match clearly was set up for
a rematch between these two. So it

401
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:02.119
has to be coming an elimination Shamer
Logan Paul against Kevin Owens is the Elimination

402
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.839
Chamber match, not the WrestleMania match
that should be reserved for LA night.

403
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:11.000
So they will do Owens and Logan
Paul most likely at the Elimination Chamber.

404
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.519
Nick All, this will make the
announcement next week on the show who his

405
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:18.079
next challenger is going to be,
so we'll find out then. But we

406
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.240
had Kevin Owens against Austin Theory here
coming out of a break. On the

407
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.799
other half of the match, Owens
worked out of a chinlock. He closed

408
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:29.519
lined the hell out of the sky
to slow things down. Owens had a

409
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:33.519
Tornado DDT before going up top hit
a swanton bomb for a two count.

410
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:38.480
Owens went for a Stunnar. Theory
countered with a somersault blockbuster, so Theory

411
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:41.160
went for a superplex. Owens,
though, fought out of it, and

412
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.319
Theory hit a version of a blue
thunderbomb got a near fall out of that.

413
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.519
Grayson Waller is there and Grayson Waller
is running distraction outside Logan Paul.

414
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:55.599
Meanwhile, he gets up from the
announced steps and he moses on over to

415
00:29:55.640 --> 00:30:00.000
Austin Theory and he passes him a
prayer of brass nuts. This time though

416
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.839
Kevin Owens, he gets his hands
on the brass knucks and as the referee

417
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.240
was then distracted by logan, Paul
Owens knocked the hell out of Grayson Waller

418
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.000
on the apron with them, and
then he knocked the hell out of Austin

419
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.160
Theory with the brass knucks, and
then it looked like he tucked him maybe

420
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:18.319
into his kneepad to hide them before
the referee could see him. He covered

421
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.680
him and he picked up the wing
and when the match was over, Owens

422
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:26.440
chased Theory through the crowd. Hey, the Juliet, thank you. Not

423
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:30.839
even in that bre mode he is
going to shake me tonight. I am

424
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:36.480
in rare form, but thank you
for that. It was solid stuff here

425
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:38.240
between these two in the ring.
I feel like we've seen this between them

426
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:41.839
a bunch of times already. The
thing with Austin Theory is I've never said

427
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.720
anything bad about his ringwork. If
anything, I think I've always been very

428
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:51.079
complimentary of his ringwork, even going
back to NXT, so solid hand in

429
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:56.640
the ring. There's just nothing there
character wise right now. It's just he's

430
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:02.160
completely devoid of anything interesting, anything
exciting, not being given a chance really

431
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:07.319
to show too much personality. I
don't know if the ultimate goal here is

432
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.880
for him to go babyface and then
maybe feud with Waller or even feud with

433
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.920
Logan Paul. If that might be
the direction they eventually go in, but

434
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.720
it's not going to work unless they
give the fans a reason to care about

435
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:23.839
this guy or something to hang their
hat on, something interesting or entertaining about

436
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:26.880
him. I don't know what that
would be. We haven't seen it yet.

437
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:36.000
But if that's the goal, then
they haven't done it yet. I

438
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.839
hope you enjoy it. This the
only time Cody gets to finish his story

439
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:48.279
is here on YouTube. You won't
be hearing that at the end of WrestleMania

440
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:55.920
this year. Hey ABK, thank
you for the bomb. So backstage,

441
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.559
Naomi came out of Nick Aldos's office
and in her hand she had a SmackDown

442
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:06.880
contract. She was very excited and
with her in the area standing right outside

443
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.920
the office, she was celebrating with
Bianca bel Air. Shatzi was there,

444
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:15.279
Mia Yim was there. She said
that she is officially signed to smack Down,

445
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:20.359
but then out from Nick Aldos's office, came Tiffany Stratton from NXT and

446
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.400
she too had a contract in her
hands. She said that she has also

447
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:28.200
signed with SmackDown, and she told
the other ladies that she was the center

448
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.839
of the universe. They wanted yeah, she wanted them to applaud and as

449
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:37.359
they mocked her, she hauled off
and she smacked me a yim Mitchin right

450
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:42.920
across the face hard and then she
walked away and Michin went to go for

451
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.400
her. She had to be restrained. Nick All this came out of his

452
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.440
office. She wanted a match with
Tiffany later on, and so All this

453
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.119
gave her what she wanted now.
Stratton was said coming out of the Royal

454
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:57.640
Rumble. It was said, I
saw the reports that Tiffany Stratton impressed a

455
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:01.839
lot of people. She's been impressing
me for months and so in the Rumble,

456
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:06.799
I thought she was fine. I
thought she she did good. In

457
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:07.920
fact, I think when she first
came to the ring for the Rumble,

458
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.440
I think the first thing she did
was climbed to the top. She wiped

459
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:15.640
everybody out with a crossbody. I
liked the spot where she was hanging on

460
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.720
to Bianca's braid trying not to be
eliminated there towards the end, Tiffany Stratton

461
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:23.359
is the real deal. Tiffany Stratton
is a future women's world champion. She's

462
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:28.599
gonna be up there in that rarefied
air in this women's division with Charlotte and

463
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:30.599
Bianca and Becky and people like that. You give it a few years,

464
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:35.119
she'll get there. So I'm very
happy because she's been ready for a while.

465
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.640
I was very happy to see that
she was being called up. Now

466
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:44.279
I wonder has Bianca bel Air found
her opponent for WrestleMania. Could that be

467
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:47.039
the match for Bianca, because it
looks like Bianca, for the first time

468
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.039
in her career, will not be
involved in a at least a singles championship

469
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:57.319
match at WrestleMania. I still think
there's a chance, depending on where Jade

470
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:01.000
ends up, we could get Bianca
and Jade as a team challenging for the

471
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:05.720
women's tag team titles. But I
do wonder if we might get a match

472
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:09.960
between Bianca and Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania
this year. But in lieu of this,

473
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:15.360
in lieu of Tiffany Stratton coming to
the Blue Brand, I went to

474
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:21.840
check exactly what the current women's roster
looks like for SmackDown, and this is

475
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:24.199
what it looks like. You've got
Eosky at the top of the division.

476
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:30.400
She is the reigning WWE Women's Champion. You've got Asca, You've got Kyrie,

477
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:34.000
Say, You've got Bailey. We'll
get to her in a little bit.

478
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:37.599
Dakota Kai, who was not on
the show tonight, but she should

479
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:42.079
be back in the next few months
from her ACL injury. Charlotte Flair,

480
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:46.599
Bianca bel Air, Naomi, Tiffany
Stratton, Alba Fire, I look on

481
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:53.719
Miechen Shatzi, Zelina Vega, Electra
Lopez was just called up from nxt B

482
00:34:53.960 --> 00:35:00.480
Fab and Scarlet and Bfab and Scarlett. They were on the SHO show later

483
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.840
as well, though we really haven't
seen them wrestle on the show. But

484
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:07.079
you look, I mean in that
there's a lot of talent in that division.

485
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.159
Now. If they're going to do
a draft in a few months,

486
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:13.960
I don't know how different that may
look. Charlotte Flair, when she eventually

487
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:19.039
comes back from her ACL injury,
she'll probably end up wherever Androte is right

488
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.800
now. Androtti is on Raw.
Charlotte may come back and not be on

489
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.280
SmackDown. We don't know, but
I do wonder. You know, Jade

490
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:30.960
Cargill was on the show later on
and they did a tease. She is

491
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.840
also looking to be signed by Raw
or SmackDown. She could also very well

492
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:38.480
end up on SmackDown. But I
do wonder with someone like Tiffany going to

493
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:43.880
the Blue Brand, if we may
see Jade end up on RAW. I

494
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:47.320
also wonder about Roxane Perez. She
was another NXT talent like Tiffany, who

495
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:51.880
popped up in the Women's Royal Rumble
on Saturday, and I thought she looked

496
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:57.639
fine. Roxanne a former NXT Women's
Champion. I believe she's wrestling Lyra Valkyria

497
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.599
at Vengeance Day this weekend. She
end up on Monday Night RAW. I

498
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:04.400
think she may end up on RAW. We may see coming out of the

499
00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:07.400
show this weekend this Sunday, we
may see Roxane end up on ROW.

500
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.000
But that's a pretty stacked division.
Now. There are some people there at

501
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:15.039
the bottom of the list that I
read off who are just not featured that

502
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:17.559
much or we haven't seen much of
them in the ring, where they're not

503
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:22.000
quite as good or as advanced as
some of the other people I mentioned.

504
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:24.800
But there's a lot of talent on
that roster. Now, the question is

505
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:29.320
what does the raw women's roster look
like? Who do you add to the

506
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:35.320
raw women's roster because they could use
a couple of fresh names to backstage.

507
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:39.199
Biaka spoke with Nick all this,
and she wanted to know what is she

508
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:44.679
going to have to do to get
a match with EO Sky for the WWE

509
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:50.519
Women's title, assuming she said that
Bailey chooses Rhea Ripley to challenge a wrestle

510
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:55.320
Matie Logan. Paul walked in and
he blew Bianka off, and she kept

511
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:59.280
telling him, look, we're having
a conversation here, and he was very

512
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.280
dismissive of her and said that he
was a big fan of her husband,

513
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:07.320
which didn't go over very well with
her. But he wanted to know who

514
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.440
was the next challenger for my US
title, and so they kind of bickered

515
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:15.679
back and forth and that was the
entire thing. After this, they pitched

516
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.000
it to a pre produced vignette.
This is like something you would see out

517
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:24.039
of NXT that was probably produced by
Jeremy Borash. We've already started to see

518
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:29.079
some of these on SmackDown recently.
We saw a segment like this with Tyler

519
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:34.480
Bate and Butch several weeks ago before
he became Pete Dunn again. Right,

520
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:40.199
yes, hallelujah, Pete Dunn is
back. So we got a very NXT

521
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:49.599
esque vignette here. This is from
earlier today with Legato Dell Phantasma and they

522
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.960
were gathered around a dinner table in
a restaurant somewhere. Santos Ascobar told Angel

523
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:59.159
and Humberto and Electro Lopez, who
was with them, I didn't review SmackDown

524
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:05.280
last week. I was in Florida
doing other things for Rumble Weekend. I

525
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.119
watched smacked. I watched parts of
smack that I didn't review it though,

526
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:12.440
so if you missed it. Electro
Lopez made her main roster debut last week,

527
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:16.039
so now she is with them.
Escobar told them that they were tasked

528
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:22.199
with carrying on the legacy of their
ancestors and Luca Libra itself, and to

529
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:27.920
do that they needed to eliminate Raymisterio
and the LWO. Raymisterio still is not

530
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:35.000
back yet, by the way.
He also welcomed back La Madrina Electra Lopez,

531
00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:40.000
and she said I never left,
and they all toasted each other the

532
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:43.960
back Live, we had a fatal
four way match. We were told this

533
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:47.119
is the first of two fatal four
way tag matches that we are getting.

534
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:52.360
There will be another one on Raw
Monday night, and the winner of this

535
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:57.000
one is going to wrestle the winners
of the Fatal four way coming up on

536
00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:01.800
Monday. The winner of that match
will challenge the Judgment Day at Elimination Chamber

537
00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:09.039
for the undisputed tag team titles.
It's one of our new super jets there.

538
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:13.519
Hey Rodamus, thank you. That
was the song that played in my

539
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:16.079
head when the Rock came out and
Cody was staring at the rock. That's

540
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:22.440
the song that was probably going through
Cody's mind, the Mario death theme.

541
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.719
That was the death of his dream, his dream of headlining WrestleMania this year

542
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:29.760
and finishing the story. You know, not to beat a dead horse here,

543
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:34.880
but I so not even two weeks
ago that Cody went on his Instagram

544
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:39.639
and he just posted a photo of
the Rocky statue. He was so determined,

545
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:45.159
Yes, exactly, he was so
determined to finish this story. I'm

546
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:49.719
telling you he got this news late. I don't think he would have been

547
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:52.280
tweeting that or instagramming that shit if
he knew the way this was gonna end

548
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:58.199
up. So anyway, they did
not announce who was going to be in

549
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.239
the other fatal four way on Raw
coming up this Monday. I would imagine

550
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:05.119
DIY who just got beat this past
week, they'll probably be in the fatal

551
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:09.719
four way. But the winners of
tonight's match, who was it, Well,

552
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:13.000
let me tell you who was in
it. First, we had pretty

553
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:17.119
deadly they were in there, Joaquin
Wild and Cruz del Toro of the LWO,

554
00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:22.599
Pete Dunn and Tyler Bate. And
we had Angel and Humberto who had

555
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:29.280
La Madrina the Godmother Electro Lopez in
their corner. Joaquin Wild. He repeated

556
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:35.679
the slingshot splash spot that they did
in NXT last month, which looked incredible.

557
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:38.880
I mean that that is a fucking
highlight reel spot. This was not

558
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:42.639
as good, or at least they
didn't shoot it as well. I wish

559
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:45.880
they had that camera angle. They
had that one camera angle when they did

560
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:49.719
it in NXT that looked so great, and they didn't have that camera angle

561
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.079
here, but they did the spot. It still looked good. He wiped

562
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:58.039
out all the heels after a commercial
break, Elton Prince was working over Joaquin

563
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:04.239
eventually done the hot tag. He
took out both Legato and Pretty Deadly with

564
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:08.039
a series of inziguries. Pretty Deadly
came back. They took down Pete Dunn,

565
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:14.119
Tyler Bait broke up a pin attempt
and Bait then spun Prince in an

566
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:17.440
airplane spin. Del Toro and Wild. They were gonna they were about to

567
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:22.480
fly. Electro Lopez, though,
stopped them. Zelina Vega then attacked Lopez

568
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:28.639
and Pete Dunn did the finger spot
on Kit Wilson. Bait tagged in and

569
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:32.320
the two of them hit their double
team under hooks sup plex finish to pick

570
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:37.519
up the win. And that was
the correct outcome. Pete Dunn and Tyler

571
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.760
Bait going over here was the right
move. Without even knowing who is in

572
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:45.960
the four way match coming up this
Monday, and again, I'm sure DIY

573
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:49.679
will be one of those teams.
I would like to see Bait and Dunn

574
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:52.199
get the shot and go on to
Australia and challenge for the undisputed tag team

575
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.480
titles. They probably won't win.
I don't think they're gonna want them to

576
00:41:55.519 --> 00:42:00.239
drop the belts. Well, look, I shouldn't say that because if they

577
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:05.199
wanted to set up for Finn Balor
and Damian Priest in a match against each

578
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:08.760
other at WrestleMania, they could drop
the belts at Elimination Chamber. I just

579
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:13.400
don't know they're going to drop them
to Pete Dunn and Tyler Bait. I

580
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:16.840
would still rather be DIY. Maybe
you do it at WrestleMania. I'm not

581
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:20.960
expecting a title change there, but
I would still love to see these two

582
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:24.360
guys British Strong Style be the ones
to get the shot at the Elimination Chamber.

583
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:29.320
And it just makes sense anyway,
because Lwo and Legato they're in a

584
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:31.159
program right now. They're feuding with
each other, so they sort of cancel

585
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:35.440
each other out, and so it
was either going to be pretty deadly or

586
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:37.599
it was going to be Done and
Bait. And so of course Dune and

587
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.719
Bait they're a new team. You
got to get them over, so it

588
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:46.159
made sense. Now to the back, we had Eo sky Oska and Kyrie

589
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:52.480
Sayin. They were alone in their
locker room and they were laughing it up.

590
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:57.440
They were talking in Japanese to each
other and then Eo told them Bailey's

591
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:02.679
done tonight. They walked off,
and as they walked away laughing, you

592
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:07.320
could see in the background standing in
the doorway she overheard everything, or at

593
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:12.920
least that last line for Leo was
Bailey, and she had a very sad

594
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:15.360
look on her face. And so
there it is right. You knew what

595
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:19.239
was coming, You knew what was
about to happen. Coming up next,

596
00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:22.119
we had Mike Rome in the ring
with Adam Pierce to his right. He

597
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:28.639
had Nick all This to his left, and that brought damage control to the

598
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:31.360
ring, including Bailey, because it
was time for Bailey to make her decision.

599
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:36.079
She was the winner of the twenty
twenty four Women's Royal Rumble, which

600
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:39.760
means she gets to pick the champion
of her choosing to challenge at WrestleMania forty.

601
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:43.239
Who would it be? Riya Ripley
was there. She was in the

602
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:46.400
back. They showed her watching on
a monitor. Dakota Kai like I said,

603
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:49.280
not on the show tonight. I
don't know where she was, but

604
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:54.039
she wasn't there. So the crowd
was chanting for Bailey. She said she's

605
00:43:54.079 --> 00:44:00.119
done everything in WWE, almost but
this year is different, this year a

606
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:04.400
special and she said that she didn't
get to where she is on her own

607
00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:08.280
because she had her girls, and
she said they supported her when she cried.

608
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:15.079
She called Damage Control the best women's
faction of all time. I mean,

609
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:22.400
what would the other choice really be? I mean, forget international promotions,

610
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:28.119
forget that for a second in WWE
specifically, what would the other choice

611
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:30.800
be? I mean, the horse
Women were never really a faction, so

612
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:34.880
I don't count them. I mean, if not Damage Control, who am

613
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:37.960
I missing here? Who am I
forgetting that you would consider to be the

614
00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:40.519
best female faction in company history.
I don't know, not that I think

615
00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:45.679
Damage Control has had this amazing run, because I wouldn't. Amazing is not

616
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:47.960
a word I would use for it. But just off the top of my

617
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:51.199
head, I'm not sure who.
I'm not sure who else it would be.

618
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:57.519
So when she made that comment about
Damage Control being the best female faction

619
00:44:57.639 --> 00:45:00.400
of all time, you could see
EO and Oscar and in the background they

620
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:06.840
were cackling, but then they stopped. When Bailey turned around to look behind

621
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:10.800
her, she said, when she
thinks about WrestleMania, she thinks about beating

622
00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:17.719
one of the best, and that
brings her to Rhea Ripley and Bailey continued

623
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:23.360
and she said, but sometimes WrestleMania
is about proving people wrong, and sometimes

624
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:29.559
the people who you thought were a
support system were working against you all along.

625
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:34.800
And then she called out Eo Sky
and she asked her, she said,

626
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:40.679
what happened? She said a few
words in Japanese which shocked EO and

627
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:45.239
Kyrie and Osca. They were blown
away by that. So whatever it was

628
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:49.519
that, I don't know what she
said, but she said something in Japanese

629
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:52.480
and then she said, are you
done laughing? She says she picked up

630
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:55.840
some of that along the way by
hanging out with them. She says,

631
00:45:55.840 --> 00:46:00.559
she's been here for a very long
time and she sees everything around her,

632
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:05.719
including them talking behind her back.
She said all she ever wanted was the

633
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:07.960
best for them, and she wanted
to go to WrestleMania to be the best

634
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:14.039
together. Now, as she's talking
to EO, you see Kyrie and Osca

635
00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:20.039
they have now moved in a position
where they are now behind Bailey. So

636
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:23.000
again you can see it coming right, you know exactly what's about to go

637
00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:29.800
down here, And so sure enough, Oska and Kyrie they attacked Bailey from

638
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:35.000
behind. Eo joins in on the
attack. Now Bailey is laying face down

639
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:37.239
on the mat. I couldn't tell. I guess she had it on her

640
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:40.639
on her person, but she had
a pipe. When she stood up,

641
00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:45.280
she had a pipe in her hand. So she was concealing it the entire

642
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:50.480
time because she knew and she was
prepared for it, and so she fought

643
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:53.639
off Kyrie and Osca with the pipe
and then she held the pipe up and

644
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:58.880
she stopped herself before hitting Eo.
EO had the belt and she stopped herself

645
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:01.519
from hitting her with the pipe.
Eventually, Eo left the ring, Bailey

646
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:06.679
picked the microphone back up and said
that she would see her at WrestleMania,

647
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:10.719
and the fans popped huge for that
announcement. It is now official Bailey will

648
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:16.760
challenge Eo Sky for the WWE Women's
Championship at WrestleMania. I thought this was

649
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:22.239
very well done, even though we
have been seeing this coming for so long,

650
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:28.559
and I thought the damage control split
was originally gonna come months ago,

651
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:31.159
and then they just kept it going. So it's a little weird for me

652
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:35.440
to sit here and say that this
felt rush in any way. It did

653
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:37.320
feel rushed to me, because I
thought they were going to drag this out

654
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:43.920
a little bit longer, maybe until
elimination chamber or right after elimination chamber,

655
00:47:44.840 --> 00:47:49.400
and so I didn't expect this angle
to be shot tonight on tonight's show,

656
00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:52.280
so it felt a little rushed in
that regard. I also thought it was

657
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:57.800
a little strange how in that backstage
segment, you know, EO and the

658
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:02.159
three of them were so open of
that out saying Bailey's done tonight. I

659
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:08.360
mean, they've been doing a good
job of sort of concealing their disgusted is

660
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:13.760
the right word, but they're discussed
for Bailey, and then Dakota was always

661
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:15.280
there to translate and say no,
no, no, everything's cool, everything's

662
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:19.880
cool. And here it was just
like they spoiled it and they just had

663
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:22.400
them in the back saying, all
right, Bailey's done tonight. And you

664
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:25.199
think about it, and it's like, well, why wouldn't they wait If

665
00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:30.039
they were assuming that she was going
to pick Rhea Ripley to challenge for the

666
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:35.159
Women's World title of WrestleMania, and
EO wouldn't have to wrestle Bailey, why

667
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:37.159
wouldn't they just wait, you know, for Bailey to make her choice.

668
00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:40.760
But this is the angle they went
with. I still think it was well

669
00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:45.440
done. I love the little reveal
when Bailey started saying some stuff in Japanese

670
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:51.840
and that shocked them. I thought
that was cool. The thing I really

671
00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:55.000
liked about that aspect of it is
that Bailey now is a babyface, right,

672
00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:01.960
And I like the fact that they
didn't portray her as a dumb babyface,

673
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:07.920
like she was completely oblivious to everything
that's been going on around her,

674
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:10.400
because it would have made her look
like an idiot because everybody else can see

675
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:15.440
what's going on except her. She
was aware of it. So I actually

676
00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:21.199
think that they made her look even
better in this instance because she saw it

677
00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:23.639
coming, she had the pipe,
she was prepared for it, and so

678
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:29.760
I thought that did her some good
bye portraying her in that light. And

679
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:31.920
look, you know, look,
she's been a heel long enough. It's

680
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:37.199
gonna be five years later. This
year would be five years that Bailey would

681
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:42.360
have been a heel. That's a
long time. And you saw the reaction

682
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:45.079
that she got at the Royal Rumble
when she won. I mean I was

683
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:47.599
there, I'll tell you right now
because I know some people watch that show

684
00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:50.960
and said, man, the crown
was dead. The whole time. The

685
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:52.760
crowd was dead for the men's rumble, they didn't really give a shit about

686
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:57.760
that, but they were very much
alive for the women's rumble. And when

687
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:01.320
Bailey not live Morgan out of the
rain, everybody popped huge and they were

688
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:05.920
cheering for her and chanting for her. And I think people, even though

689
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:09.920
she's supposed to be a heel,
I think people appreciate her in a way

690
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:16.400
that, you know, it hasn't
really been expressed over the years all that

691
00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:22.599
much that Bailey is very good and
never really got her flowers in the way

692
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:29.159
that Charlotte and Sasha and Becky have
all gotten their flowers over the years.

693
00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:32.400
They've also had big moments on the
main roster. Charlotte, you know,

694
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:38.599
has won thirty seven hundred titles.
Sasha got to Maine event of WrestleMania with

695
00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:43.599
Bianca, and she's also won a
bunch of championships. Becky got to main

696
00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:47.239
event, which Charlotte the very first
women's WrestleMania main event and got that big

697
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.159
run back in twenty eighteen into twenty
nineteen and has won multiple titles and had

698
00:50:52.360 --> 00:51:00.480
big moments. And Bailey never really
had a big main roster moment. I

699
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:02.760
would always go back to the Brooklyn
match with Sasha Banks. That was in

700
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:07.679
twenty fifteen. Dude, it's twenty
twenty four. We're going on almost a

701
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:12.360
decade. It's about time this woman
got a moment for herself. That was

702
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.519
the Royal Rumble. She won sixty
three minutes. She won the Rumble.

703
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:19.159
Now she's going to get another big
moment. She gets to go to WrestleMania

704
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:23.159
as a babyface and challenge for the
title, and I assume she's going to

705
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:28.280
win the championship, and I'm happy
for her. Yeah, it's been a

706
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:30.239
long time coming. She had that
injury as well. I think it was

707
00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:34.679
ACL. I think right. I
think it was an ACL injury, and

708
00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:37.880
so she was out for a long
time. She fought for Damage Control.

709
00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:42.400
Vince McMahon, you know, didn't
care for it, didn't want to do

710
00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:45.199
it. The moment he went out, the first time Triple H took over,

711
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:49.679
we saw the debut of Damage Control. So this moment has been a

712
00:51:49.719 --> 00:51:54.440
long time coming for her. And
again EO Sky is another one. I'm

713
00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:59.480
happy for EO. Eo gets to
go into WrestleMania in a singles match as

714
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:02.320
the defending champion. There is a
period of time just a few months ago,

715
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:05.360
where I didn't think that was going
to be the case. I was

716
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:10.119
convinced that the title match of WrestleMania
was going to in some way involved Bianca

717
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:15.159
and or Charlotte, because those two
are always in a title match of WrestleMania.

718
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:21.760
Every single WrestleMania match those two have
ever had, and Charlotte has had

719
00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:25.760
more of them than Bianca, they
involved in title matches, and so I

720
00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:30.159
thought, well, that's probably the
direction we're going in. But they kept

721
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:32.519
the belt on EO. This is
a story that's been playing out for a

722
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:38.000
while. EO gets to walk into
WrestleMania as the defending champion, so I'm

723
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:42.920
looking forward to that match. Now. We were supposed to have a six

724
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:47.239
man tag. I say supposed to
because we never actually got it, but

725
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:52.280
we were supposed to have a six
man tag with Bobby Lashley and the Street

726
00:52:52.320 --> 00:53:00.679
Profits against the Final Testament, which
is carrying cross an aop. When Bobby

727
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:06.559
and the Prophets walked out, they
put their fist in the air like the

728
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:08.760
Nation of Dominating, And I know
that's not a Nation of Domination thing.

729
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:12.280
I know that's been a thing for
decades, but I'm just saying the Nation

730
00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:17.480
of Domination co opted that when they
were a thing many years ago in WWE,

731
00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:20.559
that was their thing. They would
come out, they would pump their

732
00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:23.760
fist in the air, so that's
what they did when they came out.

733
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:29.119
The bell never rang before all six
of these guys, they got into a

734
00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:32.960
whole brawl. Things broke down.
Cross and Lashley ended up alone in the

735
00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:37.719
ring. Lashly dropped him with a
spinebuster, so he puts the hurt lock

736
00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:46.199
on carrying Cross and Scarlett jumps on
Bobby's back, so she ultimately is able

737
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:52.320
to help break up the move because
he releases the hold and then b Fab

738
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:55.960
shows up. BFAB has been flirting
with Bobby now for several weeks. We've

739
00:53:55.960 --> 00:54:00.960
seen her pop up in various backstage
segments and they would go off talking.

740
00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:05.280
We don't know where. We don't
know whether it was to talk or who

741
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:09.079
knows. So now BFAB shows up. She's wearing this like gold outfit which

742
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:15.559
kind of matches what Bobby and the
prophets are wearing, and she drops Scarlet

743
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:20.280
with a kick and so BFAB,
I guess now is officially part of this

744
00:54:20.360 --> 00:54:23.760
new whatever they're calling themselves. I
thought they were calling themselves the Pride,

745
00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:29.480
I know lastly had put that into
Twitter bio. They haven't mentioned that name

746
00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:31.639
once on television, so I don't
know what the fuck their name is or

747
00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:35.800
is going to be. But BFAB
now is going to be part of the

748
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:38.880
faction with them, and that was
it. They played their music. The

749
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:43.840
Heels were on the outside looking up
at the baby faces. The baby faces

750
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:46.639
were looking down at the Heels,
and they played them off. This was

751
00:54:46.679 --> 00:54:52.599
a waste of time. They did
this to introduce BFAB as a new member

752
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:59.000
of the crew, but this was
a waste of time. These guys.

753
00:54:59.079 --> 00:55:01.440
When I say these guys, I
mean Cross, That's really what I mean.

754
00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:07.519
Cross and AOP. They desperately need
to get in the ring for an

755
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:10.639
actual match and get a win,
get that first win under their belt,

756
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:16.159
because they still they have no credibility
yet we have yet to see them in

757
00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:22.880
action. We have yet to see
them racking up wins. This just ended.

758
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:27.320
We'll get the match at some point, but they desperately need to start

759
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:30.360
racking up some wins. Even after
this one segment, I still can't help

760
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.639
but feel like this thing is going
to be a bust, you know,

761
00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:37.639
I for Cross's sake. I hope
that's not the case. You know,

762
00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:42.960
it would be nice to see him
actually do something and find some success with

763
00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:45.719
it here on the main roster.
You know, he had some success in

764
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:50.960
NXT, but his first run,
this run, he has not had any

765
00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:55.079
success on the main roster. He
needs to hope that this is finally going

766
00:55:55.119 --> 00:55:59.920
to be the payoff for him.
So far, this is not very encouraging.

767
00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:04.320
So whatever this was supposed to be, maybe they ran low on time.

768
00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:07.960
I don't know, but this was
a waste of time. Now,

769
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:12.920
bron Breaker was shown in the back
with Nick Alldi and he was looking over

770
00:56:13.639 --> 00:56:17.800
a SmackDown contract and Adam Pierce walked
in. He told him that you might

771
00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:22.840
want to hold off on signing,
that I may have an offer for you

772
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:29.280
on Raw this Monday night. So
Breaker told all this, I'm gonna take

773
00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:31.360
this with me. I'm gonna hold
off on signing and I'm gonna take it

774
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:35.519
with me. And he told Adam
Pierce, I'll see you on Monday and

775
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:39.280
he walked out. Now Raw got
andrad if he didn't see it on Monday

776
00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:45.639
night, Androt has officially signed a
Monday night Raw contract. I assumed because

777
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:49.159
Raw got Andrade that bron was gonna
go to SmackDown. I still feel like

778
00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:52.280
SmackDown would be the better landing spot
for him. I just especially if he's

779
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:55.199
a babyface, I feel like there's
gonna be more people and good people for

780
00:56:55.280 --> 00:57:00.840
him to work with on this show. But I also I believe that he

781
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:06.199
took Brock Lesner's spot in the Royal
Rumble even before it was all being reported

782
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:07.599
by all these websites this week.
I said it the night that I did

783
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:09.840
my Rumble review. As soon as
I got home from the stadium, I

784
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:15.079
said, the Pat McAfee thing that
was not the Brock Lesner spot, bron

785
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:19.119
Breaker was the Brock Lesner spot.
I'd bet anything on that. And so

786
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:22.199
if he got Brock's spot in the
Rumble, it's possible that he's going to

787
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:27.360
get brock spot at WrestleMania. And
the WrestleMania spot for Brock was probably going

788
00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:30.440
to be against Gunther for the Intercontinental
title. Well, Brock is done,

789
00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:37.920
Brock is toxic, Brock is persona
non grata now in WWE. So he's

790
00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:43.480
off the WrestleMania car that leaves Gunther
without any obvious opponent. Well, I

791
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:45.519
mean there's any number of people you
could put him in the ring with.

792
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:49.440
You could have done Gunther and Rollins. You could also get back to the

793
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:52.639
story with Gunther and Shad Gable.
I'm just saying the story is right there.

794
00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:58.760
They wanted to go back to it. But if they want to slot

795
00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:04.480
bron Breaker in there and have bron
Breaker be the first man to hand Gunther

796
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:08.280
a loss on the main roster and
win the Intercontinental title, that could be

797
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:14.400
another direction. They could make a
star in one night. I am still

798
00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:16.440
not totally sold on that, just
because I feel like it might be too

799
00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:21.079
much too soon, and you run
the risk of there being some blowback on

800
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:24.400
that. But it might be a
risk worth taking. It's not like they

801
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:30.000
haven't done stuff like this before.
I mean when the Honkey talk Man lost

802
00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:34.000
his Intercontinental title at SummerSlam, he
lost it in twenty eight seconds. I

803
00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:37.639
think to the Ultimate Warrior, and
they made a star in one night.

804
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:40.480
Right. It's a match and a
win that's still talked about to this day.

805
00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:45.639
Madison Square Garden, wind Nuts,
you could make a star in one

806
00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:49.280
night and you could play into their
history together. Because the last person to

807
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:53.199
pin Gunther was bron Breaker. He
beat him in Gunther's last match in n

808
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:58.599
XTY. If they want to draw
from that history, they can certainly do

809
00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:04.039
so. So that's what makes me
think bron maywell end up signing with Monday

810
00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:07.599
Night Raw if they want him to
take brock spot. But I'm just glad

811
00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:12.159
that the guy's main roster bound,
you know, even more so than Tiffany.

812
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:17.079
He has just been meandering around.
They have him in this dusty classic

813
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:22.079
teaming with Baron Corbin. It's just
like he's been ready for a while and

814
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:27.480
just sort of stuck in limbo or
purgatory. Almost. He's gone as far

815
00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:31.639
as he can go in nxt I
would have preferred he get called up as

816
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:36.400
a heel and then eventually the fans
are going to naturally turn him babyface.

817
00:59:36.440 --> 00:59:39.440
Anyway, based on how he was
used at the Rumble, it looks like

818
00:59:39.639 --> 00:59:43.280
and even tonight it looks like he
may be coming up as a babyface.

819
00:59:44.320 --> 00:59:49.320
But as Bron Breaker walked out,
Jade Cargill walked in and she said that

820
00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.400
all this wanted to see her,
and all this at that point dismissed Adam

821
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:58.519
Pearson kicked him out, and that
was the last that we saw of Jade

822
00:59:58.519 --> 01:00:01.559
Cargill, but obviously we'll be seeing
a lot more of her because they're going

823
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:07.320
to be calling her up. That
much is clear. Hey, Michael,

824
01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:12.360
thank you for the Samoa bro,
thank you for the nineteen ninety nine and

825
01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:15.400
thank you all for all the super
chats. Are just coming in like crazy

826
01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:19.000
again. I'm going to be reading
all of your messages, so get them

827
01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:22.880
on in and we'll we'll go through
that here in a little bit. We

828
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:27.320
had Tiffany Stratton in her SmackDown in
ring debut one on one with Meechen.

829
01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:31.000
Michin hit a gut wrench suit plex
and followed that up with a vertical suit

830
01:00:31.039 --> 01:00:37.440
plex. The action spilled outside,
Tiffany took control. She face planted Mia

831
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:43.320
Yim. They went to a break. After the break, Stratton had control.

832
01:00:43.719 --> 01:00:45.880
Mechin fired up, hit a series
of dropkicks and a neck breaker,

833
01:00:46.599 --> 01:00:51.880
and then she hit the double knees
to the face and then at the very

834
01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:54.559
last second Tiffany got her foot on
the bottom rope to break up the pin.

835
01:00:55.719 --> 01:01:00.320
Michin went for eight defeat. Stratton, though countered with an alibam a

836
01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:02.920
slam, got a good near fall
out of that. Meechen came back with

837
01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:07.719
some kicked Stratton though, lifted her
up, ran forward, slammed her right.

838
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:13.719
We've seen her do this before,
and then she hit. I say

839
01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:16.800
she mostly missed it. When I
say when I say hit, when I

840
01:01:16.800 --> 01:01:20.679
say hit, She didn't really hit
as much of it as she would have

841
01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:24.519
liked Meechen was a little too far
forward, she wasn't positioned exactly where she

842
01:01:24.559 --> 01:01:30.320
needed to be. But Tiffany went
up and she hit the prettiest moon salt

843
01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:36.480
ever and got the pin to win
her first match here on SmackDown. Best

844
01:01:36.519 --> 01:01:40.119
moon salt in the business right now
is Tiffany Stratton. Chad Gable has a

845
01:01:40.119 --> 01:01:44.920
pretty cool looking moon salt too,
but if I had to give the edge,

846
01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:50.079
it's to Tiffany Stratten. Tiffany Stratton
is she comes from an athletic background.

847
01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:55.039
She is very talented. She picked
this up way quicker than most people

848
01:01:55.119 --> 01:02:00.599
do. I remember when she first
debuted in NXT. You could tell how

849
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:05.599
green she was, and she was
playing that, you know, daddy's little

850
01:02:05.639 --> 01:02:09.119
girl gimmick, the rich girl gimmick. But she was very very raw,

851
01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:14.280
very very green, and in a
very short period of time she really started

852
01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:17.400
to pick up a lot of the
fundamentals, and you would watch her matches

853
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:22.159
and it was very noticeable how much
she improved. And now you watch her

854
01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:24.639
and it really hit me when I
was watching her at No Mercy in September

855
01:02:24.679 --> 01:02:29.840
when she had that extreme rules match
with Becky Lynch. They had a hell

856
01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:34.280
of a match, and so that
had to be a turning point for her

857
01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:37.599
internally in that company. I'm sure
she turned a lot of heads with the

858
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:42.800
performance in that match, and they've
probably been getting her ready for this spot,

859
01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:45.400
this call up for the last few
months. It was pretty clear that

860
01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:49.599
she was ready for the for the
call up, and she's also very self

861
01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:53.559
aware because there was a point early
last year she was interviewed on some podcast

862
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:58.840
I think or radio show and she
even she said this at the time.

863
01:02:59.079 --> 01:03:00.840
She said she didn't want to go
up to the main roster at that point

864
01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:05.480
because she didn't think she was ready, and she pointed out, there were

865
01:03:05.519 --> 01:03:07.320
a few things I still have to
improve on. I'm not good at this.

866
01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:10.199
I'm not good I think selling was
one thing she said, I gotta

867
01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:15.760
work on my selling. So she
was very self aware of her experience level

868
01:03:16.039 --> 01:03:19.960
and the work that she still had
to put in to get to where she

869
01:03:20.039 --> 01:03:23.280
needed to be and when you have
that kind of attitude, you'll go far.

870
01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:28.480
And so she's made a lot of
stride since then. So she's a

871
01:03:28.559 --> 01:03:30.679
huge pickup here for this backdown roster. And I'm telling you you don't have

872
01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:35.840
to wait very long. Within these
next couple of years, she's going to

873
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:39.159
be in one of these big women's
title matches at WrestleMania. Maybe not the

874
01:03:39.159 --> 01:03:44.199
main event, but in the position
that we see Eo Sky now and Bailey

875
01:03:44.280 --> 01:03:46.440
and Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton is
going to be there and it's not going

876
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:53.280
to take her that long to get
there. Then it was decision time for

877
01:03:53.400 --> 01:04:00.840
Cody Roads. But first it was
Roman Reigns and the Bloodline down to the

878
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:05.960
ring and Roman was serenaded by chance
of Rocky Rocky. Oh no, wait,

879
01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:10.480
no, no, it was Cody, That's what it was. I'm

880
01:04:10.519 --> 01:04:15.800
sorry, I mishurt. It was
Cody that the fans were chanting. But

881
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:23.400
first Roman said, I'll get to
him, but Birmingham acknowledged me. I

882
01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:26.000
think they were just happy to see
Roman Reigns on the show, since it's

883
01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:30.039
very rare that we get him on
the television show. He said, there

884
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:34.760
were some things said on Monday that
they just can't let slide. He says,

885
01:04:34.920 --> 01:04:41.039
his little brother Seth rollins, and
then he goes as if he didn't

886
01:04:41.079 --> 01:04:44.519
bury him enough in this segment,
he goes, little brother Seth Rollins and

887
01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:48.039
then there's no reaction. He goes, exactly no pop. He said,

888
01:04:48.239 --> 01:04:54.880
he's He said he's got the title, so he had to think about it.

889
01:04:55.000 --> 01:05:00.559
Roman said. He goes, didn't
he beat everybody competing for that title?

890
01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:04.760
He said, doesn't that make all
of them their number? Twos said,

891
01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:13.320
shouldn't they call that the loser bracket
title? He wasn't sparing this championship

892
01:05:13.320 --> 01:05:17.079
at all. He goes. Then
he had the audacity to say that he's

893
01:05:17.159 --> 01:05:21.360
the guy. He said, you
can't be running around here for two years

894
01:05:21.360 --> 01:05:28.159
in your wife's clothes and call yourself
the guy. This guy was on fire

895
01:05:28.199 --> 01:05:33.519
here. He goes, do workhorses
walk like this? And he started walking

896
01:05:33.599 --> 01:05:36.599
like an old man, started walking
like Hulk Hogan without his walking stick,

897
01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:42.679
doing an imitation of Seth and his
broken back. He goes, and then

898
01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:45.239
he wants to attack my schedule.
He says, yes, I work less

899
01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:48.960
than you. I work ten times
less than you, and I still make

900
01:05:49.000 --> 01:05:53.679
ten times more than you. And
then he asked the audience. He goes,

901
01:05:54.079 --> 01:05:58.880
you want seth Rollins money or you
want tribal chief money. Of course

902
01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:03.079
they wanted tribal chief money. I
too would like tribal chief money, especially

903
01:06:03.079 --> 01:06:08.360
if I can get his schedule.
He goes, but see, Cody,

904
01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:15.239
he's an idiot. Where's the lie? I gotta get Bobby fish on here.

905
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:18.880
Where's the lie? Roman was smoking
fools here in this segment. I

906
01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:24.480
mean, this is the biggest workshoot
I've seen on WWE television of years.

907
01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:27.719
Everything that he's saying, Man,
I mean, I'm not finding the lie

908
01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:31.159
in anything this man is saying here
in this segment. Calls Cody an idiot.

909
01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:34.440
He goes, he's got values and
all that crap. You don't care

910
01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:38.480
about the money. I don't think, so let me break it down for

911
01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:42.239
you. He goes, Cody,
I'm not gonna beg you like that other

912
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:46.039
guy. You could either be the
very best number two in this industry or

913
01:06:46.119 --> 01:06:49.360
you could take a crack at number
one. Again, it's your choice,

914
01:06:51.079 --> 01:06:56.039
boy. You know Roman. Roman
must have walked out there, you know,

915
01:06:56.119 --> 01:07:00.599
after having a couple of wool energies. I don't know because the jebs

916
01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:02.920
that this guy was taken here.
They were on point. I mean,

917
01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:09.119
he was roasting fulls here in this
fucking segment. So then Cody's music hits

918
01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:13.119
and the idiot, I mean,
Cody makes his way out to the ring,

919
01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:15.719
but first they cut to the final
commercial break because they went on early

920
01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:18.760
with this segment, so they went
to commercial here. It was probably nine

921
01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:23.800
forty two or something like that,
so you knew we were getting at least

922
01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:27.920
one more commercial break. After the
break, Cody gets in the ring,

923
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:30.480
he goes, what do you want
to talk about? And he asked if

924
01:07:30.760 --> 01:07:34.000
the two of them, if we
could have the ring to ourselves, and

925
01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:40.159
so Roman sent away Paul Hayman and
Solo and Jimmy and they left the ring

926
01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:46.880
and Cody told them. He goes, you cheated me talking about WrestleMania last

927
01:07:46.920 --> 01:07:51.280
year. Says you cheated me.
I had you, and I think you

928
01:07:51.360 --> 01:07:56.000
know it, says Seth Rollins.
He made a lot of amazing points this

929
01:07:56.039 --> 01:08:00.880
week, but he made one point
that I disagree with. He called that

930
01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:06.280
the Hollywood title. Talking about the
WWE Championship. He called that the Hollywood

931
01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:11.480
title. Call it whatever you want, but It's still the title that Bruno

932
01:08:11.559 --> 01:08:15.039
San Martino held. It's still the
title that was put into my father's hands

933
01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:21.720
at Madison Square Garden and was swiftly
taken away. He says he still wants

934
01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:29.680
that title because let me ask you, what is finishing the story? Because

935
01:08:29.720 --> 01:08:34.479
I've heard you say that all of
this is yours, the ring, the

936
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:41.079
ropes, the canvas, that camera
over there, all these people and he

937
01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:44.359
looks at it, the crowd,
and he says, all you people apparently

938
01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:50.239
belonged to Roman Raids and they all
booed. So is finishing the story taking

939
01:08:50.279 --> 01:08:55.720
that title from you? Or is
finishing the story taking everything from you?

940
01:08:56.720 --> 01:09:00.239
Said? Let me make it abundantly
clear, I want that title. As

941
01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:03.840
a matter of fact, I'm moving
my own goalposts. I want that title,

942
01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:12.439
and I'm coming for you Roman Reigns, but not at WrestleMania. And

943
01:09:12.479 --> 01:09:16.159
as soon as he said those words, I said fuck because I knew exactly

944
01:09:16.239 --> 01:09:19.199
what was coming now. I for
the record, I know that the rock

945
01:09:19.239 --> 01:09:24.600
stuff leaked earlier today. I know
now, I know there was something that

946
01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:29.359
leaked earlier today. I didn't see
it. I intentionally stayed away from the

947
01:09:29.399 --> 01:09:32.039
story on PW Insider they had a
big spoiler about a huge surprise tonight.

948
01:09:32.439 --> 01:09:36.039
I didn't see it, so I
did not know coming into this that the

949
01:09:36.119 --> 01:09:40.840
Rock was supposed to be on the
show tonight until Cody said that line right

950
01:09:40.840 --> 01:09:45.560
there, and then I knew exactly
what the big surprise was. So he

951
01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:48.640
said He's not coming for Roman.
At WrestleMania, the man who just went

952
01:09:48.680 --> 01:09:53.279
to the Royal Rumble and won the
Rumble for the second year in a row

953
01:09:54.479 --> 01:10:00.239
went back to back for the first
time since Stone Cold Steve Austin. Even

954
01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:01.880
I was like, man, it
would have been nice to have somebody different

955
01:10:01.880 --> 01:10:04.600
win the Royal Rumble, although in
hindsight, thank god, see I'm punk

956
01:10:04.640 --> 01:10:08.920
didn't win. But like even I
was like, yeah, you know,

957
01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:11.439
Cody doesn't have to win the Royal
Rumble. I kind of like getting a

958
01:10:11.439 --> 01:10:14.640
different Royal Rumble winner. Cody could
win the Chamber or something like that,

959
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:16.840
but they had Cody win. They
went out of their way to have Cody

960
01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:19.960
win back to back. Nobody has
done that in twenty six years. Twenty

961
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:26.199
seven years. It earns you a
title opportunity in the main event of WrestleMania,

962
01:10:26.359 --> 01:10:30.000
and here comes Cody Rhodes. I
want that title, but not a

963
01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:38.239
WrestleMania. Oh really do tell and
he goes I mentioned about taking counsel,

964
01:10:39.359 --> 01:10:43.800
goes Roman, one of the individuals
that I talked to. He knows you

965
01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:48.039
very well. And the people at
that point kind of sense what was coming.

966
01:10:48.199 --> 01:10:54.119
I could sense what was coming.
And then if you smell, if

967
01:10:54.159 --> 01:10:58.319
you smell, yes, smells like
shit to me. Here comes the Rock,

968
01:10:59.359 --> 01:11:02.119
and everybody loses their minds because it's
a special thing. When Rock makes

969
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:08.560
an appearance, it's a big deal. Not discounting that he comes out he's

970
01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:12.840
got goosebumps on his arm. Cody
has to stand in the ring this entire

971
01:11:12.920 --> 01:11:15.960
time, by the way, as
the Rock takes his time to come down

972
01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:17.960
to the ring and soak up the
reaction and get on the ropes and pose

973
01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:21.399
and smell and sniff and all the
stuff that he usually does. So Rock

974
01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:27.479
gets in the ring and Cody is
staring at the Rock. The Rock is

975
01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:32.159
staring at Cody. The Rock extends
his hand out to Cody. Cody accepts.

976
01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:36.520
The Rock pulls him in for a
hug. He said something to Cody.

977
01:11:38.000 --> 01:11:40.319
Cody ended up with a smile.
I told you what I think he

978
01:11:40.359 --> 01:11:44.520
said to him. Earlier. Whatever
he said, Cody, Cody has a

979
01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:47.600
smile again. I could just look
at the man's face and I could.

980
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:54.239
It's like the most insincere smile I've
ever seen in my life. I mean,

981
01:11:54.279 --> 01:12:01.039
it's it's just amazing. So Cody
smiles and Ben Cody leaves and the

982
01:12:01.159 --> 01:12:05.640
Rock turns to Roman rings. Roman
is on the far side of the ring

983
01:12:05.720 --> 01:12:10.079
and he's got his title. Rock
is on the other side, the opposite

984
01:12:10.119 --> 01:12:15.439
side of the ring. They're staring
each other down and eventually they get closer.

985
01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:17.479
They step to each other, we
get the face to face. The

986
01:12:17.600 --> 01:12:21.199
copyright box comes on, and that
is how they go off the air.

987
01:12:23.720 --> 01:12:32.319
Rock or Roman rather calling Seth Rollins
little brother Rock coming out, Little brothered

988
01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:38.159
Cody Rhads. They newtered Cody Rhoads
is what they did. They tried to

989
01:12:38.159 --> 01:12:40.760
make him magnanimous. They tried to
make him like, you know, I'm

990
01:12:40.760 --> 01:12:43.680
gonna get my shot. I'm going
to finish my story. And look,

991
01:12:44.399 --> 01:12:47.520
I am sure that at some point, maybe even this year, Cody Rhodes

992
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:55.960
will finish the story and he'll win
the WWE Championship because Cody Cody's already I'm

993
01:12:55.960 --> 01:12:59.800
sure Cody's already resigned. Cody's not
going anywhere. Cody is still in a

994
01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:02.079
great position, right. They love
him. He's always going to be featured

995
01:13:02.119 --> 01:13:06.159
as top guy in this company.
He'll finish the story at some point.

996
01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:12.800
But boy, did they newter this
fucking guy here in this segment. I

997
01:13:12.840 --> 01:13:15.680
mean, who in their right mind, after what his character just went through

998
01:13:15.960 --> 01:13:21.399
would stand in the middle of the
ring two months out from WrestleMania forty the

999
01:13:21.439 --> 01:13:30.319
fortieth WrestleMania and would willingly sacrifice his
main event championship match to anyone. I

1000
01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:32.760
don't care if it's the Rock,
I don't care who it is. Who

1001
01:13:32.760 --> 01:13:40.119
would do that? What a nice
guy? So they got their Mega match.

1002
01:13:41.680 --> 01:13:44.960
All indications based on the way this
show ended tonight is that this is

1003
01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:49.000
going to be the WrestleMania, the
true WrestleMania main event, and it will

1004
01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:53.920
probably be for the WWE Championship.
There's still a lot we don't know.

1005
01:13:54.039 --> 01:13:57.520
Cody did not flat out say he's
going to take Seth Rollins up on his

1006
01:13:57.640 --> 01:14:01.039
challenge would see Impunk going down due
to injury, though, it would appear

1007
01:14:01.079 --> 01:14:05.239
that they've made their choice and they're
gonna go with Cody and Seth because if

1008
01:14:05.239 --> 01:14:10.520
Cody doesn't pick Seth, I don't
know what the hell they're gonna do unless

1009
01:14:10.520 --> 01:14:15.800
they do Cody and Roman before they
do Rock and Rome. And Cody and

1010
01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:20.279
Roman is the play in Australia at
the Elimination Chamber, which is another big

1011
01:14:20.319 --> 01:14:26.119
stadium show again, They'll have fifty
thousand people there. They could do the

1012
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:31.039
match there. But then if Cody
wins the title again, both title matches

1013
01:14:31.079 --> 01:14:39.039
are automatically little brother to Rock and
Roman at WRESTLEMANI and so do you do

1014
01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:44.319
Cody and Orton on the undercard that
night? I mean, that would seem

1015
01:14:44.359 --> 01:14:47.479
to be the only logical thing if
Cody was to win the belt later this

1016
01:14:47.600 --> 01:14:53.880
month. We don't know. All
I know is that Cody Rhodes won himself

1017
01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:57.640
at Wrestlemaniam main event. And what
is he gonna do now? He's gonna

1018
01:14:57.680 --> 01:15:01.279
cash in at the Elimination Chamber.
Let's just ignore the stipulation and we'll just

1019
01:15:01.319 --> 01:15:05.319
cash in at the Elimination Chamber instead. I mean, is that what we're

1020
01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:12.279
doing here? Or are we getting
another year this shit? Because Rock ain't

1021
01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:15.600
beating Roman unless it's a non title
match. If it's a non title match

1022
01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:17.800
where the title is off Roman.
It could go either way. I still

1023
01:15:17.800 --> 01:15:20.560
don't see the benefit in having Rock
beat Roman, even if it's not for

1024
01:15:20.600 --> 01:15:25.279
the title. If Rock is going
to come back here for all these years

1025
01:15:25.800 --> 01:15:28.800
and they're only planning on doing one
match, and he's going to come back

1026
01:15:29.319 --> 01:15:31.640
and beat his cousin who's been on
top of the company and on top of

1027
01:15:31.680 --> 01:15:34.960
the industry now for three and a
half years, Rock has to come back

1028
01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:39.159
and get the win. Why,
I would think if Rock is willing to

1029
01:15:39.199 --> 01:15:44.800
put anybody over it, certainly is
his cousin. Rock said that when he

1030
01:15:45.239 --> 01:15:47.520
comes back, if he ever comes
back, he wants to do something that's

1031
01:15:47.600 --> 01:15:51.479
never been done before. So I
am patiently waiting now to find out if

1032
01:15:51.520 --> 01:15:55.760
this is just a straight one on
one we're gonna do Rock and Roman deal,

1033
01:15:56.159 --> 01:15:59.399
or is there some element to this
that I'm not seeing. Is there

1034
01:15:59.399 --> 01:16:02.920
some element that I'm missing to this
that's gonna make it something that we've never

1035
01:16:02.960 --> 01:16:12.279
seen before, that's gonna make it
so special it's unprecedented. I don't know

1036
01:16:12.319 --> 01:16:15.560
what that would be. When I
heard the word unprecedented, I thought maybe

1037
01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:20.319
they were really going to plan to
do a standalone event, like a standalone

1038
01:16:20.319 --> 01:16:28.079
pay per view built around Rock and
Roman is the mega match and build kind

1039
01:16:28.119 --> 01:16:31.119
of a card around it. And
they were going to make that separate apart

1040
01:16:31.159 --> 01:16:38.720
from WrestleMania and anything else. But
they're gonna go with WrestleMania. I mean,

1041
01:16:39.319 --> 01:16:42.479
weather logical conclusion is there to jump
to. Cody said it will not

1042
01:16:42.520 --> 01:16:45.560
be at WrestleMania me and you,
So there you go. That paves the

1043
01:16:45.560 --> 01:16:48.840
way that's your WrestleMania forty main event. But they did Cody no favors.

1044
01:16:48.840 --> 01:16:51.479
They did Seth Rollins. No.
If I'm Seth Rollins, by the way,

1045
01:16:51.960 --> 01:16:56.079
he better have a damn good comeback
on Raw Monday Night. They better

1046
01:16:56.119 --> 01:17:00.159
put a mic in his hand and
just let him go off because of I'm

1047
01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:02.520
Seth Rollins. Not only have my
fucking pissed that I lost my big match,

1048
01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:06.520
would see I'm Punk at WrestleMania,
and frankly, a match with Cody

1049
01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:11.600
may be the only way for him
to redeem an actual main event on Night

1050
01:17:11.680 --> 01:17:15.520
one. That's why I've been saying
Seth and Punk need each other if their

1051
01:17:15.560 --> 01:17:19.239
goal is to get the WrestleMania main
event on one of those two nights.

1052
01:17:19.600 --> 01:17:25.399
Punk going down due to injury,
I mean Rollins looked like he was on

1053
01:17:25.439 --> 01:17:28.720
the outs as far as that goes. So if they slop Cody in there,

1054
01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:30.600
yeah, you'll probably get Cody and
Seth in the main event. But

1055
01:17:31.239 --> 01:17:35.319
boy, I mean they buried Seth, They buried that belt. They bury

1056
01:17:35.399 --> 01:17:39.720
everything that Rollins has done over the
past. However many months, nine ten

1057
01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:43.119
months that it's been right, maybe
not quite ten months yet, but he's

1058
01:17:43.119 --> 01:17:46.960
been the World Heavyweight Champion since May, and he's constantly doing interviews, and

1059
01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:51.199
he's constantly talking about how I'm trying
to make this something special. I'm trying

1060
01:17:51.199 --> 01:17:55.520
to make this the most prestigious title
in this company. I'm trying to be

1061
01:17:55.560 --> 01:18:00.319
the workhorse champion. And in one
night, in one segment, it all

1062
01:18:00.319 --> 01:18:05.680
flushed away because everything Roman reign said
in this segment was true. Rock coming

1063
01:18:05.720 --> 01:18:11.359
back at the end only reinforces that
Seth and Cody and everything else is just

1064
01:18:12.000 --> 01:18:15.720
on the back burner now. Everything
is just pushed to the side. Doesn't

1065
01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:20.680
even matter. But the comments he
made about little Brother and I've beaten everybody

1066
01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:24.520
that's wrestled for that belt. Again, I ask you, where's the lie?

1067
01:18:25.920 --> 01:18:30.720
Roman Reigns was dropping truth bombs on
these people. Tonight. So if

1068
01:18:30.720 --> 01:18:34.000
I'm Cody, I'm pissed. If
I'm Seth, I'm pissed. If I'm

1069
01:18:34.039 --> 01:18:39.640
Punk, I'm pissed because he had
a guaranteed ticket to the WrestleMania Made event

1070
01:18:39.680 --> 01:18:44.399
and he got hurt. So now
that's fucked. It's a lot of angry

1071
01:18:44.439 --> 01:18:48.960
people right now that should be on
that WWE roster, scept Roman in the

1072
01:18:49.039 --> 01:18:59.560
Rock because now they got their match
of WrestleMania. Congratulations. Let's take a

1073
01:18:59.600 --> 01:19:02.880
look at the Twitter poll see what
you guys thought of tonight's show once this

1074
01:19:02.920 --> 01:19:08.479
gets off the screen here, and
I want to say thank you to the

1075
01:19:08.720 --> 01:19:14.359
three thousand plus that have been with
me here. Forty one point seven percent

1076
01:19:14.600 --> 01:19:20.520
for SmackDown tonight, fifty eight point
three percent thumbs down. And I'm willing

1077
01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:24.199
to bet that a lot of that
is colored by what we saw in the

1078
01:19:24.239 --> 01:19:28.960
final five minutes of tonight's show because
it was not a it was not a

1079
01:19:29.000 --> 01:19:31.359
bad SmackDown tonight. There was a
lot going on, Like I said,

1080
01:19:31.359 --> 01:19:34.640
you know, people being called up. There's reason to be excited about the

1081
01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:41.199
future here on SmackDown. But this
was always going to be a very divisive

1082
01:19:43.199 --> 01:19:55.239
closing segment on this show, and
for good reason. Let's see what you

1083
01:19:55.319 --> 01:19:58.199
got. Oh, let's see what
you guys have to say about everything that's

1084
01:19:58.199 --> 01:20:01.520
been going on so far here tonight. You guys have been very vocal.

1085
01:20:01.680 --> 01:20:04.760
Again, I love you for it. Thank you for still hanging out with

1086
01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:11.560
me here. Hopefully I had a
chance to vent to you about certain things.

1087
01:20:11.600 --> 01:20:13.520
I have a feeling a lot of
you were in agreement with me.

1088
01:20:13.560 --> 01:20:17.039
I know some of you aren't,
but I would say probably the majority of

1089
01:20:17.640 --> 01:20:23.119
you are in agreement with me,
or at least can see things from the

1090
01:20:23.239 --> 01:20:27.039
perspective that I'm coming from here.
It's just frustrating, you know, when

1091
01:20:27.039 --> 01:20:31.600
you have such an obvious story I
forget Cody's story, but just such an

1092
01:20:31.640 --> 01:20:35.319
obvious story, and you are building
to your biggest show of the year.

1093
01:20:35.399 --> 01:20:40.479
You build everything around this show,
and it just feels like kind of a

1094
01:20:40.560 --> 01:20:45.760
last minute sabotage in many ways.
You know you're taking the short term gain,

1095
01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:50.199
but what are you doing potentially to
your existing story or stories in the

1096
01:20:50.239 --> 01:21:01.119
long term. That's really is the
question here. The real Yes, we'll

1097
01:21:01.199 --> 01:21:08.399
kick things off with him. If
Vince cared about WWE like he says he

1098
01:21:08.479 --> 01:21:11.760
does, then he would not have
done the things he allegedly did, even

1099
01:21:11.760 --> 01:21:15.239
with NDA's it is going to come
out eventually. Well, that is what

1100
01:21:15.359 --> 01:21:20.880
happens when you are a selfish sociopath. You don't care about other people.

1101
01:21:21.319 --> 01:21:27.600
You're self self absorbed. All you
care about is yourself are Jerry Mohler loves

1102
01:21:27.720 --> 01:21:33.640
Goomfar the Magnificent All Hell Goomfar,
Hey, Aaron, thank you man for

1103
01:21:33.640 --> 01:21:40.439
the fifty dollars super chat Nick Grosso. Finally, Bailey and Damage Control split

1104
01:21:40.520 --> 01:21:44.239
up? But where was Dakota Kai? And whose side is she on?

1105
01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:46.720
They may do it? Whose side
is she on? Thing with Dakota Kai?

1106
01:21:46.840 --> 01:21:54.920
I don't know where she was.
I don't know. Maybe they kept

1107
01:21:54.920 --> 01:21:58.199
her out on purpose for that very
reason because they want to build to a

1108
01:21:58.279 --> 01:22:04.239
story where she has to pick a
side. Luis Lopez is Rock versus Roman

1109
01:22:04.319 --> 01:22:08.840
a direct effect of Punk getting injured. I feel that WrestleMania has lost a

1110
01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:15.079
lot of momentum with Punk's injury and
the Vince situation. This did feel to

1111
01:22:15.119 --> 01:22:19.199
me like the Punk injury probably played
a role in this, And you're right

1112
01:22:19.239 --> 01:22:24.479
about the Vince situation. It's a
big black eye for this company and it's

1113
01:22:24.479 --> 01:22:27.680
not going away. It's only gonna
get messier, it's only gonna get uglier.

1114
01:22:29.359 --> 01:22:33.520
Doing something like this can take a
little bit of the heat off to

1115
01:22:33.640 --> 01:22:39.159
some degree because it gets people talking
and excited that The Rock is coming back.

1116
01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:43.319
That can promote this big match now. So all of those things may

1117
01:22:43.359 --> 01:22:45.159
well have had an effect that all
boils down to when did the Rock make

1118
01:22:45.199 --> 01:22:48.840
his final decision? I suspect we'll
find out in the days to come.

1119
01:22:49.840 --> 01:22:53.920
Did he make his decision only this
week? Because that's what it felt to

1120
01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:57.560
me, like, you know,
I mean, I feel like if Rock

1121
01:22:57.680 --> 01:23:01.479
had already made his decision to last
weekend, we would not have had Cody

1122
01:23:01.560 --> 01:23:06.079
Rhodes pointing up at Roman Reigns at
the end of the Royal Room, him

1123
01:23:06.119 --> 01:23:11.920
pointing up at Roman Reigns and making
it very clear that that's the guy that

1124
01:23:12.000 --> 01:23:15.079
he wanted. And then what we
saw tonight are in direct conflict with each

1125
01:23:15.119 --> 01:23:19.399
other, which tells me this decision
was not made or finalized until sometime in

1126
01:23:19.399 --> 01:23:28.319
the last few days. That's what
that felt to me like. Asan this

1127
01:23:28.439 --> 01:23:30.359
comes off as trying to have their
cake and eat it too. They want

1128
01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:34.239
to give Rolins a main event,
Cody a world title Roman and Rock and

1129
01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:40.960
extending the rain past Hogan for some
god forsaken reason. You said it,

1130
01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:46.079
brother, The Hogan thing is something
I'll never understand. I just don't understand.

1131
01:23:46.119 --> 01:23:48.399
I just don't understand what the big
deal is there. I really don't.

1132
01:23:49.479 --> 01:23:54.359
I really don't the idea that,
if in fact, that is what

1133
01:23:54.399 --> 01:24:00.520
their plan is, that you would
sacrifice creatively things that are right there in

1134
01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:06.199
front of your face to edge him
up on a list of champions in a

1135
01:24:06.359 --> 01:24:11.960
worked sport. I mean, what
are we doing here? You know what

1136
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:15.000
I mean? Like, I can't. I can't. I just can't understand

1137
01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:19.680
the logic behind it. I just
don't. And the idea again that some

1138
01:24:19.680 --> 01:24:23.399
people think, well, they're trying
to erase Hogan in a way. They

1139
01:24:23.399 --> 01:24:26.079
want him out of the top three. Nobody gives a shit about the top

1140
01:24:26.119 --> 01:24:31.199
three. Maybe they care about number
one, number two, number three,

1141
01:24:31.319 --> 01:24:36.119
number four, it doesn't matter.
It's no less or more impressive to say

1142
01:24:36.119 --> 01:24:40.239
that Roman Reigns is fourth all time. And by the way, let me

1143
01:24:40.279 --> 01:24:43.439
bring up another point on that.
I'm gonna bring up another point on that

1144
01:24:45.159 --> 01:24:49.800
Roman Reigns has not even had the
WWE title for a thousand days. I

1145
01:24:49.840 --> 01:24:54.319
think he's had it for like six
hundred and something days, probably about the

1146
01:24:54.319 --> 01:24:57.399
same length of time that Gunther has
had the Intercontinental title, right. I

1147
01:24:57.439 --> 01:25:01.880
think it's maybe a little bit more
than that. The WWE Championship is the

1148
01:25:01.920 --> 01:25:05.960
lineage here. That's the lineage for
Bruno and for Backland and for Hogan.

1149
01:25:06.039 --> 01:25:10.279
Hogan had the WWE title for like
four years, four and a half years,

1150
01:25:12.039 --> 01:25:16.239
maybe it was four about four years. What they're doing is they're taking

1151
01:25:16.279 --> 01:25:21.840
the Universal title. The Universal title
didn't exist before twenty sixteen. Who gives

1152
01:25:21.840 --> 01:25:28.359
a fuck about the Universal title.
That's what they're going with. They're not

1153
01:25:28.399 --> 01:25:31.600
even using the correct title lineage,
they're combining them where they're or just using

1154
01:25:31.640 --> 01:25:35.119
the Universal one and not the WWE
one, which is again something else that

1155
01:25:35.199 --> 01:25:45.279
makes me laugh when I think about
this. Doesn't make sense, it's meaningless,

1156
01:25:45.880 --> 01:25:51.880
and yet people won't shut up about
it. Arabian Night. This is

1157
01:25:51.920 --> 01:25:56.159
why we can never get behind a
full time talent because they do shit like

1158
01:25:56.239 --> 01:26:00.960
this and bring back part timers to
take their spot as Triple Ah as a

1159
01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:08.199
godsend huh Asan. I honestly don't
know who takes the title from Roman.

1160
01:26:08.439 --> 01:26:11.760
You cannot do Roman versus Cody at
forty one, who's going to care.

1161
01:26:11.920 --> 01:26:15.560
He's been going on about this fucking
story for years, and right when he

1162
01:26:15.600 --> 01:26:18.840
had it, he gives up.
That's what he did. That's exactly what

1163
01:26:18.920 --> 01:26:25.479
he did. He gave up.
Imagine being a fan, like a fan

1164
01:26:25.560 --> 01:26:28.319
of his, like a real super
fan, right and you've been waiting for

1165
01:26:28.359 --> 01:26:30.880
this moment, and then he just
willingly gives it up to the man who

1166
01:26:30.880 --> 01:26:34.960
has everything. He gives it up
to the one person who needs it the

1167
01:26:35.039 --> 01:26:43.920
least. Vanilla Gorilla. Do you
think Rock versus Roman was planned in advance

1168
01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:45.720
or did they have to switch things
up in light of the Punk injury.

1169
01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:49.359
I think they've wanted to do the
match for a very long time. Do

1170
01:26:49.479 --> 01:26:53.600
I think it was in the plans, like firmly in the plans for a

1171
01:26:53.640 --> 01:26:57.960
while. No. I feel like
this only came together, probably in the

1172
01:26:57.960 --> 01:27:05.199
past week. PB and Shane love
that name. I haven't seen Wwe drop

1173
01:27:05.279 --> 01:27:09.680
the ball like this since Daniel Bryan
in twenty fourteen. Cody being made an

1174
01:27:09.720 --> 01:27:15.800
afterthought to two part timers is damn
near heartbreaking. Arabian Night Rock got a

1175
01:27:15.880 --> 01:27:19.199
huge ego. Wonder how he would
feel if a past star came back in

1176
01:27:19.279 --> 01:27:24.199
ninety nine or two thousand or two
thousand and one and took a WrestleMania spot

1177
01:27:24.239 --> 01:27:33.279
from him like Hogan or Macho,
I'm pissed, Fuck Triple H. Holliday

1178
01:27:33.319 --> 01:27:38.520
one ninety seven, Cody is facing
Rollins at WrestleMania, or if they do

1179
01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:42.800
Cody and Roman at Elimination Chamber,
who does Cody face at WrestleMania Randy Orton?

1180
01:27:43.479 --> 01:27:45.600
There would be little build up.
And that's another reason why I don't

1181
01:27:45.640 --> 01:27:51.399
like that idea, because Cody and
Orton is a potentially great story for a

1182
01:27:51.439 --> 01:27:56.840
show like SummerSlam. And so if
they put the belt on Cody, let's

1183
01:27:56.880 --> 01:28:00.239
just say they put the belt on
him in Australia. You've got six or

1184
01:28:00.279 --> 01:28:06.560
seven weeks now to build to Cody
and Orton for WrestleMania. That's something that

1185
01:28:06.600 --> 01:28:11.439
deserves some more time. Instead,
it would just feel like they're rushing into

1186
01:28:11.479 --> 01:28:19.640
it. So I hope they don't
do that. Derrek Y, what do

1187
01:28:19.680 --> 01:28:24.479
you think about doing only one rumble
a year and alternating each year between the

1188
01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:27.640
men and the women. What do
you think about Triple H's comments after the

1189
01:28:27.720 --> 01:28:32.159
Royal Rumble. I don't like the
idea of alternating men's and women's are here

1190
01:28:32.159 --> 01:28:36.800
to stay, just like men's and
women's elimination chambers and money in the banks

1191
01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:42.840
and war games. So ideally you
would have one rumble on the show.

1192
01:28:42.880 --> 01:28:45.720
I do feel like having toes tire
the crowd out. I think that was

1193
01:28:45.800 --> 01:28:50.560
part of the problem last weekend.
Honestly, it is a lot. I

1194
01:28:50.600 --> 01:28:56.800
don't like the idea of alternating them
though. As far as Triple H's comments

1195
01:28:56.840 --> 01:28:59.960
after the Royal Rumble, they were
about as bad as you could possibly make

1196
01:29:00.119 --> 01:29:02.239
them. I tweeted about it.
I have not had a chance to talk

1197
01:29:02.279 --> 01:29:06.239
about it in audio form or video
form. I am going to address that.

1198
01:29:06.680 --> 01:29:10.920
I mean, let me tell you
something right now. This podcast on

1199
01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:15.159
Sunday, this is episode eight forty
seven coming up. This is not going

1200
01:29:15.239 --> 01:29:18.920
to be a show to be missed. Okay, just trust me, you

1201
01:29:18.920 --> 01:29:21.399
are going to want to listen to
this podcast on Sunday. We have a

1202
01:29:21.439 --> 01:29:25.600
lot to get into. I will
address the Triple H stuff as well on

1203
01:29:25.640 --> 01:29:31.079
that show. He could not have
done a worst job. Arabian Night two

1204
01:29:31.119 --> 01:29:34.960
thousand says well, I guess it
was a fact that Punk was supposed to

1205
01:29:34.960 --> 01:29:40.079
win the rumble. Now they're rushing
Rock versus Rains because they want to reward

1206
01:29:40.199 --> 01:29:43.960
Seth and main event Night one against
Cody Yuck. I feel so bad for

1207
01:29:44.079 --> 01:29:46.039
Cody. This is BS. I
don't think it's a fact that Punk was

1208
01:29:46.039 --> 01:29:49.359
supposed to win the Royal Rum well, I think exactly the person who was

1209
01:29:49.399 --> 01:29:54.159
planned to win one, Punk would
have gone on and won at the Chamber.

1210
01:29:55.119 --> 01:30:00.000
Punk was never going to win the
Royal Rum of Harrison. The Rock

1211
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:04.119
is going to look like CM Punk
in the Rumble when he has a match

1212
01:30:04.319 --> 01:30:14.760
far Jerry Mohler loves Gumfar the Magnificent
All hell goomfar Hey, Aaron is coming

1213
01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:17.960
in hot again with a fifty dollars
gunthar bomb Aaron Man, you are the

1214
01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:21.760
man. Thank you, sir h. Just to finish off what Jacob was

1215
01:30:21.800 --> 01:30:26.239
saying, Rock is going to look
like Punk in the Rumble when he has

1216
01:30:26.279 --> 01:30:30.399
a match, blown up in five
minutes and embarrassing himself in his final match,

1217
01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:34.840
we'll see. I didn't think he
looked that great in that last SNA

1218
01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:40.640
match and that was my god,
was that twelve years ago? No?

1219
01:30:40.800 --> 01:30:45.600
Eleven years ago? It was eleven
years ago. He's eleven years older now.

1220
01:30:47.319 --> 01:30:55.920
Tuxedo t servo. It appears Cody's
story was just retcon Arabian night,

1221
01:30:56.640 --> 01:31:03.560
worst booking decisions since The Fiend in
twenty nineteen Hell in his cell or you

1222
01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:06.840
can see the Fiend in Goldberg in
Saudi Arabia when he got buried in the

1223
01:31:06.840 --> 01:31:14.960
fucking desert. The Winston slip says, WHOA, Cody's story was only smoking

1224
01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:23.760
mirrors. Very good, very good? That was That was clever. Didn't

1225
01:31:23.840 --> 01:31:28.439
Rock tear his abdomen. Rock tore
like three different things in that match.

1226
01:31:28.439 --> 01:31:32.880
We've seen in the last one.
He tore his adductor muscle or muscles off

1227
01:31:32.920 --> 01:31:35.840
the bone. He tore something else
too. We had to have surgery.

1228
01:31:35.880 --> 01:31:41.600
It delayed production on his movie.
I don't know if it was. I

1229
01:31:41.600 --> 01:31:44.119
don't remember what movie it was.
It was grid Iron Gan, I don't

1230
01:31:44.119 --> 01:31:46.920
remember what movie it was, but
yeah, no, I mean he got

1231
01:31:47.319 --> 01:31:54.119
seriously, seriously hurt in that match. I think he tore his hamstring in

1232
01:31:54.159 --> 01:31:59.680
the first scene a match, but
in the second match he completely messed himself

1233
01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:06.119
up. Holiday one ninety seven says, at this rate, I wonder if

1234
01:32:06.159 --> 01:32:10.520
Cody will ever win a main title, or at the very least have fans

1235
01:32:10.640 --> 01:32:14.079
care if he does win it,
they can't defer his win to WrestleMania forty

1236
01:32:14.119 --> 01:32:15.560
one. Well, look, this
is the risk that you run. Now

1237
01:32:15.600 --> 01:32:19.119
we don't know. Cody just said
he's not going to get it at WrestleMania.

1238
01:32:19.520 --> 01:32:21.800
Maybe he gets it at the Chamber. Okay, so I just put

1239
01:32:21.800 --> 01:32:26.000
that out there. We don't know
yet. Having said that, that is

1240
01:32:26.039 --> 01:32:30.359
another risk that you run by doing
this whole cock Teas situation here with Cody,

1241
01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:32.800
will you get people's hopes up?
They were happy to see him win

1242
01:32:32.880 --> 01:32:36.119
the Rumble. Now he's not getting
the shot at the Rumble? Why because

1243
01:32:36.159 --> 01:32:41.359
of reasons? And so you will
eventually run into a situation if you continue

1244
01:32:41.399 --> 01:32:45.000
to do this where people are going
to lose interest and he's going to become

1245
01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:47.520
a punchline. And the one thing
you do not want to do is have

1246
01:32:47.600 --> 01:32:53.960
your top babyface or one of your
top baby faces become a punchline. That

1247
01:32:54.079 --> 01:32:57.560
is not what you want. The
longer they dragged us out for, the

1248
01:32:57.600 --> 01:33:02.279
bigger the risk they run of that
happening. Ossie of Steel, you mean

1249
01:33:02.319 --> 01:33:06.000
you're not excited for another year of
Paul Hayman talking to his phone again?

1250
01:33:06.479 --> 01:33:15.279
In all seriousness, this is some
BS Cody deserves better. Ali with the

1251
01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:18.439
three bucks. The Rock was frozen
in carbonite in twenty thirteen and hasn't been

1252
01:33:18.520 --> 01:33:26.000
entertaining and wrestling since two thousand and
three. Goodbye Sportsnet Sportsnet Plus. He

1253
01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:34.119
says, Ali Ali Ali is all
elite Orhan? Who do you prefer?

1254
01:33:34.199 --> 01:33:42.239
And who is the bigger star?
RKO or CM? Who is the bigger

1255
01:33:42.399 --> 01:33:45.479
star? I feel like that's a
good question. I mean, it's tough

1256
01:33:45.479 --> 01:33:53.520
because Punk missed somebody he missed seven
years, and from WWE he missed almost

1257
01:33:53.600 --> 01:33:59.199
ten years, and that's a long
chunk of time to miss. So Orton

1258
01:33:59.279 --> 01:34:02.800
is the bigger star. Had Punk
stuck around, I might have a different

1259
01:34:02.800 --> 01:34:06.840
opinion on that. Orton is the
bigger star? Who do I prefer?

1260
01:34:10.359 --> 01:34:13.920
You know, it depends. I
mean I would almost say Punk on promos,

1261
01:34:13.920 --> 01:34:16.840
maybe Orton in matches if you could
take the best elements of both and

1262
01:34:16.920 --> 01:34:21.000
kind of merge them together. To
me, it's not a black and white,

1263
01:34:21.039 --> 01:34:28.680
cut and dry kind of thing.
Mister Notorious Chico, I don't understand

1264
01:34:28.720 --> 01:34:31.319
why people are complaining about this story. He is still winning the gold at

1265
01:34:31.319 --> 01:34:36.319
Mania, so relax. And do
you think Jacob Bought is going to WWA.

1266
01:34:38.840 --> 01:34:42.560
Well, look, if he's going
to WrestleMania, they did a very

1267
01:34:42.600 --> 01:34:47.600
poor job of framing it that way
tonight, because could they do Rock Roman

1268
01:34:47.680 --> 01:34:50.920
on one night and Roman and Cody
on another. Yes, but Cody made

1269
01:34:50.960 --> 01:34:54.960
it pretty clear tonight, I'm gonna
win that title from you, but it's

1270
01:34:55.000 --> 01:34:58.479
not going to be at WrestleMania.
He didn't say night one of WrestleMania.

1271
01:34:58.520 --> 01:35:02.359
He didn't say Night two of WrestleMania. He said not WrestleMania. So unless

1272
01:35:02.359 --> 01:35:05.920
they completely go back on what they
said tonight, it's not happening at WrestleMania.

1273
01:35:06.000 --> 01:35:12.520
That much was clear. Do I
think Jacob Fotu is going to WWE,

1274
01:35:12.560 --> 01:35:15.000
I don't know. I don't know. WWE could have had him years

1275
01:35:15.039 --> 01:35:18.960
ago, they didn't take him.
I think he would be a tremendous addition

1276
01:35:19.039 --> 01:35:24.199
to that roster if they wanted to
keep the bloodline stuff going, I think

1277
01:35:24.199 --> 01:35:28.199
he'd be an obvious addition to that. And I feel like in the ring

1278
01:35:28.399 --> 01:35:31.560
Bell to Bell, he is probably
the best of the bunch when it comes

1279
01:35:31.560 --> 01:35:35.960
to all those, you know,
all the all the Samoan stars. I've

1280
01:35:35.960 --> 01:35:42.039
had an up close view of his
work having been in House of Glory when

1281
01:35:42.039 --> 01:35:45.079
he was the world champion there and
calling his matches and seeing what he can

1282
01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:47.680
do and seeing him in MLW.
He's a tremendous talent. There are other

1283
01:35:47.800 --> 01:35:50.680
factors that play here. Booker T
talked a little bit about that on his

1284
01:35:50.760 --> 01:35:55.600
podcast. Jacob Fotou is another one
who I will talk about on the podcast

1285
01:35:55.600 --> 01:36:01.039
on Sunday. Yusef this absolutely blow. Cody looks like a total geek.

1286
01:36:01.199 --> 01:36:10.079
My brothers and I have tickets for
WrestleMania, seriously considering refunds. Hype deflated

1287
01:36:12.880 --> 01:36:16.960
andersen Blitz. If you can smell
when the Rock steals your WrestleMania spotlight again

1288
01:36:17.119 --> 01:36:21.920
and plays the same character all the
time and fans still love him, well,

1289
01:36:21.960 --> 01:36:25.920
that doesn't really roll off the tongue, like if you smell what the

1290
01:36:26.000 --> 01:36:28.640
Rock is cooking. So I don't
think you could fit all of that on

1291
01:36:28.720 --> 01:36:34.239
a T shirt. I don't think
it would sell very well. Fahad,

1292
01:36:34.520 --> 01:36:42.680
this is honestly depressing. I have
zero percent excitement for WrestleMania. Kels said,

1293
01:36:42.720 --> 01:36:46.239
oh with the forty bucks. That
was the forty dollars one from earlier.

1294
01:36:46.239 --> 01:36:49.239
Hey Kels, thank you. What
if Cody does not use his title

1295
01:36:49.279 --> 01:36:57.119
shot at Mania and uses it like
a cashin that would suck when you say

1296
01:36:57.159 --> 01:37:00.479
cash in, if you mean cash
in the way that most people can like

1297
01:37:00.880 --> 01:37:05.039
Roman wrestles, and then out comes
Cody to cash in. If you want

1298
01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:11.600
to, if you want to do
the absolute worst thing imaginable, do that,

1299
01:37:12.960 --> 01:37:18.199
because that is a terrible idea.
But Kel's thank you, thank you

1300
01:37:18.239 --> 01:37:24.119
for the forty bucks. Alfonso.
Seeing Cody leave the ring and walk up

1301
01:37:24.159 --> 01:37:27.880
the aisle broke my heart. What
the fuck are they thinking after everything,

1302
01:37:28.039 --> 01:37:34.960
just to screw him like that?
I don't know, man, Sam bluestheen

1303
01:37:35.079 --> 01:37:43.279
only watching the women's matches at WrestleMania. I'm done, burnout media. There

1304
01:37:43.319 --> 01:37:46.880
had to be a better way to
get there than this. There always is,

1305
01:37:48.439 --> 01:37:51.279
and I've talked about it on a
lot of the podcasts over the last

1306
01:37:51.319 --> 01:37:57.680
probably month or so. There were
other ways to do this without doing it

1307
01:37:57.720 --> 01:38:03.319
the way that it appears they're doing
it. We'll see things are still going

1308
01:38:03.359 --> 01:38:08.960
to play out, but the way
things we were left at the end of

1309
01:38:08.960 --> 01:38:12.840
the show tonight, it doesn't look
good. Diego Vasquez, did you hear

1310
01:38:12.920 --> 01:38:15.960
the ticketing issue at the Royal Rumble? A lot of us got our tickets

1311
01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:18.800
recalled and resold, but we got
lucky and got floor seats. I did

1312
01:38:18.800 --> 01:38:23.600
not hear that. How come my
tickets weren't recalled and I didn't get floor

1313
01:38:23.640 --> 01:38:28.000
seats? What makes you so special? No, I didn't hear that.

1314
01:38:30.119 --> 01:38:32.000
Gregory Allen, Hey, Gregory,
thank you for the ten bucks. I

1315
01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:36.399
appreciate that Scotie clash with the nine
to ninety nine. Rock should have just

1316
01:38:36.479 --> 01:38:43.079
been in the rumble and won it, because now Cody's rumble wind feels pointless.

1317
01:38:43.520 --> 01:38:45.479
I should be happy, but I'm
pissed. Another reason why Roman should

1318
01:38:45.479 --> 01:38:54.199
have lost last year. Absolutely,
had he lost the title last year,

1319
01:38:54.359 --> 01:39:02.239
you could do Rock in Roman this
year with no title. Done that Aaron

1320
01:39:02.720 --> 01:39:08.960
with the one hundred dollars super chat
went from being super excited to see Mania

1321
01:39:09.000 --> 01:39:12.640
to not even wanting to watch it
at all. They're fucking over Cody again.

1322
01:39:12.680 --> 01:39:15.319
There's no need for fifty one year
old Rock wrestling for the title.

1323
01:39:15.880 --> 01:39:19.399
They made Cody look like a bitch. The story is over. Rock cares

1324
01:39:19.439 --> 01:39:28.319
about no one but himself and his
family, keeping it in the family.

1325
01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:34.239
The Juliet with the twenty five dollars
pre mode. Nice job, Rock and

1326
01:39:34.279 --> 01:39:39.039
Triple h This wrestle media will get
shit on as badly as thirty two and

1327
01:39:39.079 --> 01:39:42.920
thirty four were. Cody should go
back to aw with this. Well,

1328
01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:46.119
let's not get carried away now.
I did like what they did with Bailey

1329
01:39:46.159 --> 01:39:49.239
and damage Control tonight. Yeah,
I thought that was very well done.

1330
01:39:49.319 --> 01:39:55.640
I mean again, it's gonna be
overshadowed in all the discourse about what happened

1331
01:39:55.680 --> 01:39:58.720
at the end of the show,
but I thought what they did there was

1332
01:39:58.720 --> 01:40:00.640
was well done, and I am
looking forward to seeing Bailey and EO or

1333
01:40:00.640 --> 01:40:06.479
WrestleMania. At least that's one thing
they got right. Annis Fifty to eighty

1334
01:40:06.479 --> 01:40:12.600
percent of Lesnar merch off at WWE's
shop. That doesn't mean anything all the

1335
01:40:12.600 --> 01:40:15.359
people who are reporting this. By
the way, I love these websites that

1336
01:40:15.479 --> 01:40:20.439
have these news stories up brock Lesnar
merchant. Even pw Insider had something about

1337
01:40:20.439 --> 01:40:26.840
that earlier. Brock Lesnar merchandise marked
down. It takes two seconds to go

1338
01:40:26.880 --> 01:40:32.000
to WWE's shop. Pick anybody else, pick the Undertaker. His shit is

1339
01:40:32.039 --> 01:40:39.039
marked down too. Everybody's stuff is
marked out. Brock Lesnar's merchandise is not

1340
01:40:39.239 --> 01:40:43.159
marked down any more or less than
anybody else. But nobody bothered to take

1341
01:40:43.199 --> 01:40:46.479
two seconds to check some of the
other wrestlers that are listed on WWE's shop

1342
01:40:47.239 --> 01:40:50.840
because people are fucking lazy and they
just want to get out with the story.

1343
01:40:51.840 --> 01:40:57.880
So it became brock Lesnar merchandise has
been marked down. The bigger story

1344
01:40:57.920 --> 01:41:00.319
would be if they if they pulled
the merchandise, which they have not done.

1345
01:41:00.439 --> 01:41:03.880
But no, them marking it down
does not mean anything, so ignore

1346
01:41:03.960 --> 01:41:16.239
that. Captain ash Rock wins wasted
rub Rock loses wasted time. Matthew Rice

1347
01:41:16.319 --> 01:41:19.079
with the nine ninety nine. I'm
one of the biggest rock fans around,

1348
01:41:19.119 --> 01:41:24.000
but this was the wrong call.
Cody should have come out and challenged Roman

1349
01:41:24.000 --> 01:41:29.159
Reigns for WrestleMania. That match should
be happening, not this one. Shaking

1350
01:41:29.199 --> 01:41:36.600
my head, damn. Shout out
to the mods by the way, who

1351
01:41:36.640 --> 01:41:42.159
are putting in the work tonight in
the live chat, got a lot of

1352
01:41:42.159 --> 01:41:45.720
people here. ABK, Oh,
my god, my boy. You know

1353
01:41:45.760 --> 01:41:50.119
when Abk's superchat came in before ABK, I didn't see the dollar amount at

1354
01:41:50.159 --> 01:41:57.920
first, I didn't see it,
but holy shit, basically a five hundred

1355
01:41:58.039 --> 01:42:02.119
dollars four ninety four. It's five
hundred, A five hundred dollars super chat

1356
01:42:02.399 --> 01:42:08.479
from ABK ABK. You know it's
like the other night. I don't think

1357
01:42:08.479 --> 01:42:11.159
he was here Monday or Wednesday.
Maybe he was, but he didn't chime

1358
01:42:11.239 --> 01:42:14.279
in. And I'm like, man, I hope everything's okay, you know,

1359
01:42:14.319 --> 01:42:17.319
coming out of the rumbles, no, ABK, and then he'll just

1360
01:42:17.399 --> 01:42:20.319
drop. He'll just drop a bomb
on you, you know, out of

1361
01:42:20.359 --> 01:42:24.279
nowhere, just to kind of remind
you of like who the king really is.

1362
01:42:24.399 --> 01:42:28.239
Yeah, I love it, he
says, I'm back past week in

1363
01:42:28.319 --> 01:42:31.479
wrestling, crazy and fuck the Rock. Also, my name isnt Aaron.

1364
01:42:31.680 --> 01:42:35.239
I Oh, I know he was. He was offended the other night.

1365
01:42:35.279 --> 01:42:38.840
You know, Aaron was dropping so
many bombs. I'm like, I wonder

1366
01:42:38.880 --> 01:42:41.680
if the A and ABK stands for
Aaron, But no, they're two,

1367
01:42:42.039 --> 01:42:44.840
They're two different people. We're gonna
get Rock and Roman at Wrestle Many,

1368
01:42:44.840 --> 01:42:46.960
and we may have to get Aaron
and ABK in the ring together at Wrestle

1369
01:42:47.000 --> 01:42:51.800
Many. ABK, though, thank
you man, Aaron speaking of which says,

1370
01:42:51.840 --> 01:42:55.640
wow, ABK calling me out.
We're all here to have fun.

1371
01:42:57.000 --> 01:43:00.239
It's all in good fun, my
friend. Nothing like a little healthy competition.

1372
01:43:02.079 --> 01:43:09.000
We're all on the same page here. Uh food Hive, My god,

1373
01:43:09.000 --> 01:43:11.359
there's a name I haven't heard in
a while. Food Hive says,

1374
01:43:11.439 --> 01:43:15.039
Yo, just stop by to say
f This company and their imaginary records.

1375
01:43:15.760 --> 01:43:18.640
Cody and the Solemn Monster are the
reasons I got back into wrestling. Wow,

1376
01:43:19.560 --> 01:43:25.960
let Cody finish his story because it
makes a better story. I think

1377
01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:33.239
it does too. Apparently they feel
differently, Paul Van Summer in with the

1378
01:43:33.279 --> 01:43:38.319
ten dollars. Bro love the channel, but you're salty as fuck. People

1379
01:43:38.359 --> 01:43:41.960
have been talking and telling you that
all of this was a huge possibility,

1380
01:43:42.560 --> 01:43:45.000
but you didn't want to hear it. Maybe Rhodes wins it at the Saudi

1381
01:43:45.039 --> 01:43:49.600
Show. Well, you're coming at
me with even worse ideas now, So

1382
01:43:50.159 --> 01:43:56.199
Cody Rose will go to what is
even the next one? Crown Jewel is

1383
01:43:56.199 --> 01:44:00.560
in November, So what's the one
in May? I forgot? So he'll

1384
01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:11.000
win it in May? No?
No? Uh, tire and tie.

1385
01:44:11.359 --> 01:44:15.680
Cody versus Roman Summer Slam twenty twenty
four. Are you sure about that?

1386
01:44:16.279 --> 01:44:20.119
Because then we'll get all the people
saying we'll grow. He's only a month

1387
01:44:20.159 --> 01:44:24.520
away from beating Hogan's record. You
can't have Roman. This is what I

1388
01:44:24.520 --> 01:44:28.520
said a few weeks ago, I
said that if you keep moving the goalposts,

1389
01:44:28.920 --> 01:44:31.520
that's all that's gonna keep happening.
You can't have Roman lose itt WrestleMania

1390
01:44:31.680 --> 01:44:34.399
because you gotta let it go another
year, or you gotta have the Rock

1391
01:44:34.479 --> 01:44:38.279
match, but do it. It's
Summer Slam, right, and then we

1392
01:44:38.319 --> 01:44:41.159
get to Summer Slam, and it's
like, we'll brow. You know,

1393
01:44:41.239 --> 01:44:45.039
he's only a month away from Hogan's
record. You can't beat him at Summer

1394
01:44:45.079 --> 01:44:47.840
Slam. You gotta let him get
to September because the record, the record

1395
01:44:48.079 --> 01:44:54.039
isn't broken until September, so then
he'll pass Hogan, and then it'll become

1396
01:44:54.119 --> 01:44:59.239
something else. It'll be some other
excuse we'll bro I mean, come on,

1397
01:44:59.279 --> 01:45:02.039
it's the fall. You gotta beat
him in the fall. You gotta

1398
01:45:02.119 --> 01:45:06.159
let him go to WrestleMania. Next
year, Roman Raids is gonna be walking

1399
01:45:06.159 --> 01:45:11.279
out a WrestleMania sixty seven with a
fucking gray beard like Merlin the Wizard with

1400
01:45:11.399 --> 01:45:18.720
that belt around his waist, Chris
Minor the Nine Bucks. I'm still holding

1401
01:45:18.800 --> 01:45:24.520
out hope to have Larry David against
Elmo at WrestleMania. Elmo has to go

1402
01:45:24.600 --> 01:45:32.239
over Automatic Bell for be the booker. I'm almost positive that the whole Larry

1403
01:45:32.319 --> 01:45:36.800
David Elmo thing from the Today Show
the other day was probably being filmed for

1404
01:45:38.000 --> 01:45:42.359
the final episode of the season.
The new Curb season starts. Is it

1405
01:45:42.359 --> 01:45:44.319
this weekend? I think it might
be this. I think it might be

1406
01:45:44.319 --> 01:45:47.640
this Sunday, my guess, and
this is just me that they may not

1407
01:45:47.800 --> 01:45:53.640
yet have the final episode rapped,
and that may be in the episode.

1408
01:45:54.279 --> 01:45:57.520
Like that's exactly the sort of thing
I would expect to see on an episode

1409
01:45:57.520 --> 01:46:00.600
of Curb Your Enthusiasm. So I'm
kind of hoping it ends up in the

1410
01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:05.079
show. But I'm serious. I
mean, you saw that that walk that

1411
01:46:05.159 --> 01:46:11.279
Roman did in the ring when he
was mocking Rollins tonight. He was walking

1412
01:46:11.359 --> 01:46:14.199
like this, that's gonna be him
walking down the aisle walking down the ramp

1413
01:46:14.199 --> 01:46:24.760
at WrestleMania sixty seven AJ with the
four ninety nine. Yeah, he didn't

1414
01:46:24.960 --> 01:46:28.960
people didn't know about this. Larry
David put the claw on Elmo. He

1415
01:46:29.000 --> 01:46:31.920
attacked Elmo on the Today Show the
other day. That's why I laughed.

1416
01:46:31.960 --> 01:46:36.359
You know the comments that Larry made
recently on Bill Simmons podcast where he laughed

1417
01:46:36.359 --> 01:46:41.439
at him and he mocked me because
you watched wrestling and he was mocking him

1418
01:46:41.479 --> 01:46:44.279
for it. If it was anybody
else that would upset me. But it's

1419
01:46:44.359 --> 01:46:47.640
Larry, and it's Larry being Larry. But then I saw him put the

1420
01:46:47.680 --> 01:46:50.520
claw on Elmo and I said,
this guy's full of shit. I go

1421
01:46:50.680 --> 01:46:56.239
that that's that's a von eric claw. If I've ever seen this guy,

1422
01:46:56.279 --> 01:47:00.239
he's a closet fan. He obviously
big fan of the von Erics watching World

1423
01:47:00.319 --> 01:47:03.680
Class, either that or Baron von
Rashki. Nobody puts the claw on like

1424
01:47:03.680 --> 01:47:08.960
that unless they're a wrestling fan.
AJ says just popped in to see how

1425
01:47:08.960 --> 01:47:12.560
pissed off Sola Monster was and I
was not let down. I hope you

1426
01:47:12.560 --> 01:47:16.760
can get a nice stiff drink with
this. Cheers, brother, Thank you,

1427
01:47:16.800 --> 01:47:24.159
AJ Holliday. Not a wise call
to have Roman talk trash about the

1428
01:47:24.159 --> 01:47:27.760
World Heavyweight Title when it is so
close to WrestleMania and this is the first

1429
01:47:27.800 --> 01:47:31.359
year the major belt will be for
the first year that the title will be

1430
01:47:31.359 --> 01:47:36.640
defended in Yeah, I mean again. The World Heavyweight title sustained a major

1431
01:47:36.680 --> 01:47:42.319
blow this week with Punk going down
due to injury, so they're already at

1432
01:47:42.319 --> 01:47:45.560
a handicap with that belt, letting
Roman go out there or having him go

1433
01:47:45.680 --> 01:47:50.840
out there unless they're planning on Roman
in seth suit sooner than we all think.

1434
01:47:51.600 --> 01:47:57.439
Did no favors for the World Heavyweight
title because everything he said everybody believes,

1435
01:47:58.399 --> 01:48:01.960
so the World Heavyweight title was already
wounded. Where the World Heavyweight Title

1436
01:48:02.079 --> 01:48:09.079
match was already wounded. I'm earlier
this week that segment tonight did not do

1437
01:48:09.159 --> 01:48:17.399
it any favors Dallas. This is
all because we didn't see Black Adam.

1438
01:48:17.760 --> 01:48:23.760
What a joke. Even with Vince
being gone. WWE will always WWE.

1439
01:48:23.800 --> 01:48:30.720
What an absolute burial and embarrassment edwin. Hopefully this is just a setup for

1440
01:48:30.760 --> 01:48:36.560
WrestleMania forty one and somehow Rock gets
injured in storyline and Cody gets the title

1441
01:48:36.600 --> 01:48:43.279
and revenge in storyline. It this
year's WrestleMania. WrestleMania forty one. Who

1442
01:48:43.319 --> 01:48:49.000
cares WrestleMania forty one. How about
Rock gets injured in storyline in the next

1443
01:48:49.039 --> 01:48:55.279
month and Cody has to step back? How about that? Like the chances

1444
01:48:55.279 --> 01:49:00.600
of that are less than zero percent
now that they've guaranteed people dismatches gonna happen.

1445
01:49:00.279 --> 01:49:03.159
But Wrestlemandi of forty one. Yeah, I'm not interested in that,

1446
01:49:05.640 --> 01:49:11.319
Ash Queen. What was the point
of Cody winning the Rumbland pointing at Roman?

1447
01:49:13.880 --> 01:49:20.760
I don't know. You tell me
Devin from New Jersey de Solo.

1448
01:49:20.880 --> 01:49:27.159
Remember Carl Weather's on the shield?
I do? Yes? How did I

1449
01:49:27.199 --> 01:49:30.560
not mention that I do? He
used to be partners with Vic Mackie.

1450
01:49:30.920 --> 01:49:36.039
He showed up in one episode.
That's right, that's right, he was

1451
01:49:36.079 --> 01:49:44.640
on the shield. Rodimus Prime dumbfounded
at what happened tonight. But instead of

1452
01:49:44.640 --> 01:49:47.720
the Mets, Cody is becoming the
Dallas Cowboys of the WWE. It is

1453
01:49:47.760 --> 01:49:53.000
always next year. Yes, that
is true. If there is a more

1454
01:49:53.880 --> 01:50:00.640
loser franchise and cursed franchise in the
METS, it would be the Cowboys.

1455
01:50:00.720 --> 01:50:05.359
How about them Cowboys? Here you
go, Jamal Bedlam? Why does this

1456
01:50:05.399 --> 01:50:10.199
company do things like this to hurt
people that dare get invested in the stories

1457
01:50:10.199 --> 01:50:15.159
they tell? Rock really heavily teasing
the WrestleMania forty match with Roman. Lol.

1458
01:50:18.399 --> 01:50:24.279
The Juliet WWE better be prepared to
pipe in crowd noise and take signs

1459
01:50:24.319 --> 01:50:30.399
from now until WrestleMania after tonight at
all TV events, well, evidently not

1460
01:50:30.560 --> 01:50:40.039
because the crowd in Birmingham went nuts, and so I am sure that they

1461
01:50:40.039 --> 01:50:42.800
have Rock on any of the shows
and the lead up between now and then,

1462
01:50:43.399 --> 01:50:45.039
you know, there might be some
scattered booze in some cities, but

1463
01:50:45.119 --> 01:50:53.960
you know he'll be cheer. We'll
get this is awesome retro. Koh,

1464
01:50:54.279 --> 01:50:58.800
this is not even a problem because
Cody's story quote unquote. Rock has no

1465
01:50:58.880 --> 01:51:01.279
business taking a mateive events spot when
their main events scene is as deep as

1466
01:51:01.319 --> 01:51:05.239
it is. Well, you know, that's the funny thing about this whole

1467
01:51:05.279 --> 01:51:11.079
thing. There have been other WrestleManias
in years past since we've last seen Rock

1468
01:51:11.119 --> 01:51:15.479
in an actual match, where you
could have said, you know, the

1469
01:51:15.479 --> 01:51:18.079
top of the card isn't really as
deep as it could be. There's been

1470
01:51:18.119 --> 01:51:21.640
a bunch of injuries and they don't
really have anybody else like a big attraction,

1471
01:51:24.399 --> 01:51:27.359
And that would have been the time
to really pick up the phone and

1472
01:51:27.359 --> 01:51:30.439
call the Rock and say, hey, what do you think about this?

1473
01:51:31.079 --> 01:51:34.159
All the times for them to be
doing it, Rock just so happened to

1474
01:51:34.199 --> 01:51:40.800
pick the time that WWE business is
already booming more than it's ever boomed before,

1475
01:51:41.680 --> 01:51:44.720
Like this WrestleMania, this time,
right now, at this moment,

1476
01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:47.399
even with the injury to Punk and
the other injuries they've had, I said,

1477
01:51:47.439 --> 01:51:53.319
their bench is deep enough that they
don't need to break glass and pull

1478
01:51:53.359 --> 01:51:57.520
the emergency lever down and call Steve
Austin or the Rock or the Undertake or

1479
01:51:57.520 --> 01:51:59.960
anybody else, like for the first
time in a long time, They're really

1480
01:52:00.039 --> 01:52:02.600
they don't have to do that,
And now is the time that Rock has

1481
01:52:02.600 --> 01:52:05.359
decided. You know what, I'm
gonna come back and I'm gonna get my

1482
01:52:05.399 --> 01:52:15.000
match at Roman Rings. Just funny
to me, the moldy cheeseburger. What

1483
01:52:15.199 --> 01:52:18.680
role will AJ? I thought this
said, AJ says AI. What role

1484
01:52:18.760 --> 01:52:21.960
will AI play in pro wrestling?
If it has a role in it at

1485
01:52:23.000 --> 01:52:26.800
all? I heard Eric Bischoff praising
it during his podcast, What say you

1486
01:52:26.880 --> 01:52:32.760
praising? Praising? What? Praising
AI? Yeah, Well we'll see how

1487
01:52:32.800 --> 01:52:41.439
much he praises AI until somebody puts
together an AI Eric Bischoff and attaches some

1488
01:52:41.680 --> 01:52:46.199
kind of weird message to it purporting
to be from Eric himself. Well we'll

1489
01:52:46.239 --> 01:52:51.199
see if he appreciates the value of
AI at that point. Look, I

1490
01:52:51.239 --> 01:52:56.399
mean AI, it's just the part
of society and life now, and what

1491
01:52:56.600 --> 01:53:00.319
role it will play in pro wrestling. It's already playing a role and pro

1492
01:53:00.359 --> 01:53:02.399
wrestling. Did you see the new
trailer for two K twenty four does not

1493
01:53:02.600 --> 01:53:05.600
look like a form of AI to
you, the way that they have hul

1494
01:53:05.680 --> 01:53:11.159
Cogan looking so young and Steve Austin
looking so young. It looks weird.

1495
01:53:11.239 --> 01:53:15.319
But and maybe maybe that's not even
AI, but I'm sure it'll play a

1496
01:53:15.399 --> 01:53:18.239
role. It's I find it very
scary, to be honest with you.

1497
01:53:19.159 --> 01:53:24.000
A lot of this AI stuff,
I would hope and like to think that

1498
01:53:24.079 --> 01:53:32.199
it would be regulated in some way, but probably not. JRG, Hey,

1499
01:53:32.239 --> 01:53:36.319
thank you for the five bucks.
Or Han, Hey, Andre just

1500
01:53:36.359 --> 01:53:43.319
subscribed. Thank you, Andre?
Or Han says, well, once Punk

1501
01:53:43.319 --> 01:53:45.960
gets out of the way, here, here you go. What does Seth

1502
01:53:46.199 --> 01:53:54.640
lack to be the guy like Roman
and Cody? You know, it's just

1503
01:53:54.720 --> 01:53:59.239
sometimes there's that intangible you hear about
the word it. Some people have it,

1504
01:53:59.520 --> 01:54:03.199
some people don't. Rollins as an
in ring performer has it like he's

1505
01:54:03.239 --> 01:54:08.840
a tremendous in ring performer, but
as a personality, there's just something that

1506
01:54:08.880 --> 01:54:12.760
he's missing there and this gimmick that
he's had where he comes out and he's

1507
01:54:12.800 --> 01:54:16.560
wearing the wacky clothing, and he
cackles like a hyena and all that.

1508
01:54:17.479 --> 01:54:21.880
I don't find that entertaining. I
don't find that to be genuine. Those

1509
01:54:21.960 --> 01:54:28.439
times when he gets serious, he's
very good, But there's just an an

1510
01:54:28.439 --> 01:54:33.319
inauthentic aspect to that character that I'd
feel like prevents him from connecting with the

1511
01:54:33.359 --> 01:54:38.319
audience in a way that other people
do. I think that's what he's missing.

1512
01:54:38.960 --> 01:54:42.520
Feels like he's on television playing a
character as opposed to really just being

1513
01:54:42.600 --> 01:54:45.920
himself. But again, some people
just have it. Some people have a

1514
01:54:45.920 --> 01:54:49.439
certain charisma about them. Rollins is
charismatic, but he's not charismatic in the

1515
01:54:49.479 --> 01:54:54.760
same way that someone like The Rock
is, you know, and he just

1516
01:54:54.800 --> 01:54:59.880
doesn't have that same aura about him. Even when like Roman Reigns walks out.

1517
01:55:00.239 --> 01:55:05.920
Those certain guys have that certain intangible
that not everybody has. Rollins doesn't

1518
01:55:05.920 --> 01:55:11.199
really have that. It's a big
star for them. He's very talented,

1519
01:55:12.319 --> 01:55:28.399
but he's just he's missing that one
ingredient. U Shaolin Island story finished JRG.

1520
01:55:29.119 --> 01:55:31.439
Will Rock win the title against Roman
and then drop it to Cody a

1521
01:55:31.479 --> 01:55:35.079
month or two later. No way, they will have Roman close Mania for

1522
01:55:35.199 --> 01:55:41.680
four straight years. Oh you think
there were people saying that about last year's

1523
01:55:41.680 --> 01:55:48.960
WrestleMania. So do I think that
they would possibly close a fourth straight WrestleMania

1524
01:55:49.640 --> 01:55:53.920
with Roman Reigns as the champion?
Yeah? Yeah, I could see that.

1525
01:55:56.920 --> 01:56:00.239
As far as Rock winning the title
in dropping it to Code, I

1526
01:56:00.239 --> 01:56:02.119
have no interest in seeing that.
I think that would be incredibly stupid.

1527
01:56:02.159 --> 01:56:05.319
I don't see the point in doing
that. What would be the point of

1528
01:56:05.359 --> 01:56:13.079
doing that? Like, No,
I don't want to see them. Matt

1529
01:56:13.159 --> 01:56:16.560
McClure. I couldn't believe how defeated
I felt at WrestleMania last year when Cody

1530
01:56:16.640 --> 01:56:20.039
lost, and now I feel even
more defeated. Cody is the future.

1531
01:56:20.159 --> 01:56:29.159
Why are we doing this? Well? Because sometimes you take, you know,

1532
01:56:29.560 --> 01:56:35.800
short term gain for longer term plans, which is what you know you

1533
01:56:35.800 --> 01:56:39.600
could call this has been a longer
term play for them for a while,

1534
01:56:39.680 --> 01:56:44.520
but sometimes that short term gain meant
very appealing. It's hard to turn down

1535
01:56:44.520 --> 01:56:49.520
and say no, be calm.
See clearly I rewatched Knackamor's main roster debut.

1536
01:56:49.640 --> 01:56:55.840
It was classic. Was that the
night on SmackDown when I think Miz

1537
01:56:55.880 --> 01:57:00.079
and Maurice were cosplaying Asina and nicky
and they went to go leave in and

1538
01:57:00.199 --> 01:57:05.920
the violin player came out and played
Knockomore Out. Because that was pretty good.

1539
01:57:08.239 --> 01:57:16.319
Anti m Bishop seven says, been
a long time solo monster. Hope

1540
01:57:16.359 --> 01:57:23.920
you enjoyed your vacate, uh kind
of and then a part of it was

1541
01:57:24.000 --> 01:57:29.960
ruined by the sex pest, so
I couldn't fully enjoy it, but it

1542
01:57:30.000 --> 01:57:33.079
was still nice to get away for
a few days. And to all the

1543
01:57:33.079 --> 01:57:36.800
people that said it was not Cody's
time last year, what do you have

1544
01:57:36.880 --> 01:57:41.720
to say now, Well, there's
no point in even asking the question because

1545
01:57:41.760 --> 01:57:45.119
those same people will laugh and tell
you that, well, it's not his

1546
01:57:45.159 --> 01:57:49.560
time now either, So there really
is no legitimate answer that you're gonna get

1547
01:57:49.560 --> 01:57:54.640
when you asked that question. JD
Films with the thirty two Bucks, could

1548
01:57:54.640 --> 01:57:58.920
they maybe do a downward spiral storyline
for Roman reigns if he loses the title

1549
01:57:58.960 --> 01:58:01.720
to Cody at Elimination and Shamber.
I think that could be one of the

1550
01:58:01.760 --> 01:58:08.000
only ways they could make sense of
the Rock and Roman at WrestleMania. They

1551
01:58:08.000 --> 01:58:12.399
could if they were to have Rock
come out and cost Roman the title,

1552
01:58:12.439 --> 01:58:17.520
which would also be fucking stupid,
and then Roman could be all pissed at

1553
01:58:17.520 --> 01:58:21.800
the Rock and it adds more heat
to their match, and now the title

1554
01:58:21.840 --> 01:58:27.920
becomes an afterthought. You see what
I'm saying here, like if you actually

1555
01:58:27.960 --> 01:58:30.880
did that. First of all,
I don't like the idea of Rock getting

1556
01:58:30.920 --> 01:58:34.000
involved in costing Roman the title.
I had no issue if Rock showed up

1557
01:58:34.000 --> 01:58:38.840
a WrestleMania and fought off the bloodline
to make it a fair fight. I

1558
01:58:38.880 --> 01:58:43.359
think that would have been perfect.
But the idea of Rock potentially showing up,

1559
01:58:43.479 --> 01:58:45.760
Let's say he helps Cody win,
or he costs Roman the belt,

1560
01:58:45.880 --> 01:58:48.520
he attacks him, hits him with
the belt, rock bottom or something.

1561
01:58:49.039 --> 01:58:53.319
I hate that. That's stupid because
then Cody didn't win shit, Rock won

1562
01:58:53.399 --> 01:58:59.520
it four little brother right. I
don't like that. But a downward spiral

1563
01:58:59.560 --> 01:59:01.600
storyline for Roman, I think it
could work. You know, I think

1564
01:59:01.640 --> 01:59:05.600
that there is something there. But
if that was the way they were to

1565
01:59:05.600 --> 01:59:10.399
do it, then I have no
interest in seeing Jessica Herman. I feel

1566
01:59:10.439 --> 01:59:14.760
like WWE is using Rock versus Roman
to get the focus off of Vince McMahon.

1567
01:59:14.800 --> 01:59:17.720
What say you? Thanks for being
my go to for wrestling analysis.

1568
01:59:18.359 --> 01:59:23.359
I think that's absolutely a part of
it. I would not be at all

1569
01:59:23.359 --> 01:59:25.600
shocked if that's part of their play
here. It's like, look, we're

1570
01:59:25.600 --> 01:59:30.359
going through this really difficult time now, and Rock is a board member,

1571
01:59:30.399 --> 01:59:32.720
so he's well aware of what's going
on, and so we got to do

1572
01:59:32.840 --> 01:59:38.640
something to try to deflect from what's
going on, and this is one of

1573
01:59:38.640 --> 01:59:43.560
the things they came up with.
Would not be surprised at all, Chris

1574
01:59:43.560 --> 01:59:46.560
axc with the way AEW is filling
buildings. If you're a free agent,

1575
01:59:46.600 --> 01:59:50.560
why would you choose them over WWE? Right now? What do you think

1576
01:59:50.640 --> 01:59:58.000
is the decision maker for Okata,
Friends and comfort or legacy? Only Okada

1577
01:59:58.039 --> 02:00:00.319
knows the answer to that. I
don't know that it's just money. If

1578
02:00:00.359 --> 02:00:03.399
it's just money to me, He's
going to make a lot of money in

1579
02:00:03.439 --> 02:00:06.560
AW. He's going to make a
lot of money in WWE. It is

1580
02:00:06.680 --> 02:00:11.960
possible that AW will offer him more
money. So if it's strictly a financial

1581
02:00:12.239 --> 02:00:15.800
incentive that he's looking for, he'll
go with Tony kah Is. Tony Kann

1582
02:00:15.800 --> 02:00:19.000
will fucking blow the bank open on
this guy in a way. The WWE

1583
02:00:19.039 --> 02:00:25.960
may not you mentioned legacy. If
Okada wants to go out there and become

1584
02:00:26.000 --> 02:00:30.479
the biggest possible star that he can
on the biggest possible stage. He's not

1585
02:00:30.520 --> 02:00:32.479
going to do that in AW.
He would have to go to WWE.

1586
02:00:32.479 --> 02:00:36.159
If he wants that WrestleMania match,
right, he wants to rub shoulders with

1587
02:00:36.199 --> 02:00:40.279
people like The Rock and stuff like
that, he has to go to WWE

1588
02:00:41.039 --> 02:00:45.439
in order to do that. If
he wants to go somewhere where he's going

1589
02:00:45.520 --> 02:00:49.159
to be paid, well, he's
got friends, he has people he can

1590
02:00:49.199 --> 02:00:54.800
trust. He could potentially still go
back and work New Japan if he wants

1591
02:00:54.840 --> 02:00:59.279
to, even once a year,
and he can work the exact same style

1592
02:00:59.560 --> 02:01:02.800
in the race that he has worked
his entire career. AW is going to

1593
02:01:02.840 --> 02:01:08.720
be the place for because he goes
to WWE. There may be certain things

1594
02:01:08.760 --> 02:01:12.159
he can do. There may be
certain things that you know, the way

1595
02:01:12.199 --> 02:01:15.079
he works, he has to adjust
certain things. He may not know as

1596
02:01:15.079 --> 02:01:18.560
many people. Obviously he knows Nakamura, but I don't know how many other

1597
02:01:18.600 --> 02:01:24.479
people he's friendly with in WWE.
So if that's important to him, and

1598
02:01:24.520 --> 02:01:29.439
I know he's very good friends with
the Young Bucks. He's befriended Brian Danielson

1599
02:01:29.479 --> 02:01:31.560
in recent months. He has a
lot of trust in him. Apparently,

1600
02:01:33.319 --> 02:01:39.359
I think he'll end up in aw
but ultimately only Olkada knows. Only he

1601
02:01:39.399 --> 02:01:44.800
knows what he's looking for. Keep
hitting that light button. By the way,

1602
02:01:44.840 --> 02:01:48.840
apparently we're closing in on a thousand
lights? Can we actually break a

1603
02:01:48.920 --> 02:01:51.800
thousand likes here before I even get
to the end of the super chante?

1604
02:01:53.560 --> 02:01:57.239
Is it possible that you guys can
kill it so much that we actually close

1605
02:01:57.279 --> 02:02:02.359
in on maybe eleven hundred likes?
Because that'd be pretty badass Bobby's world.

1606
02:02:02.399 --> 02:02:05.239
You know, when Rock said he
wanted to do something that had never been

1607
02:02:05.279 --> 02:02:10.079
done before, I didn't know he
meant stealing someone else's WrestleMania title shot.

1608
02:02:11.560 --> 02:02:17.199
There you go. You may be
onto something there. Unprecedented the theft of

1609
02:02:17.279 --> 02:02:26.239
a WrestleMania title shot as one in
the Royal Rumble. Maybe that was what

1610
02:02:26.359 --> 02:02:29.720
Rock was talking about. He wants
to do something that's never been done before.

1611
02:02:31.800 --> 02:02:35.399
Channel eleven O seven with the nine
to ninety nine Rock versus Roman has

1612
02:02:35.439 --> 02:02:40.319
been the biggest match WWE can do
for the last few years, and the

1613
02:02:40.359 --> 02:02:45.159
path to that match was one of
the easiest to navigate. Instead, WWE

1614
02:02:45.239 --> 02:02:51.960
made an absolute confusing mess of it. Yes they did. Justin Santiago you

1615
02:02:53.000 --> 02:02:58.079
created a Cody meme. I sent
it to you on X Oh boy.

1616
02:02:58.880 --> 02:03:00.720
Well, I will have to check
that out out when I'm done here.

1617
02:03:02.399 --> 02:03:06.159
Justin says specifically for Bailey, she
will get her roses. I hope so

1618
02:03:06.279 --> 02:03:13.600
she deserves it. She's waited long
enough. Michael Grace with the nineteen ninety

1619
02:03:13.680 --> 02:03:17.319
nine, are we really going to
see Roman win out his fourth Mania?

1620
02:03:17.479 --> 02:03:20.760
I don't know how people can get
excited. The outcome is predictable, no

1621
02:03:20.920 --> 02:03:26.479
title change, Rock will get injured, and Cody's an idiot going for the

1622
02:03:26.520 --> 02:03:33.760
consolation belt. My interest is gone. Well when you put it like that,

1623
02:03:35.039 --> 02:03:38.640
Nick Grosso, Now that Bailey is
out of the group, do they

1624
02:03:38.640 --> 02:03:45.840
get a name change and new theme
music? I don't know. If they

1625
02:03:45.840 --> 02:03:49.600
get a new name, new music. Maybe new music would be nice.

1626
02:03:50.640 --> 02:03:53.720
There is no, but there is
well no, I guess there is a

1627
02:03:53.800 --> 02:03:59.000
damage control theme. I don't know. I'd like to see them get new

1628
02:03:59.039 --> 02:04:00.319
music regardless of what that. They
get a new name or not, But

1629
02:04:01.560 --> 02:04:04.960
we have to wait and see where
Dakota Kai stands and all this as well.

1630
02:04:06.000 --> 02:04:15.039
Retro says Roman to seth Real Championship
crimea River Greg ninety three X Rock

1631
02:04:15.159 --> 02:04:18.800
might as well have come out with
beefcake shears and cut Cody's nuts off right

1632
02:04:18.800 --> 02:04:26.119
there in the ring. Two years
of storytelling down the shitter. Wouldn't it

1633
02:04:26.159 --> 02:04:30.159
be something if in the end Cmpunk
is the one who fucked all of this

1634
02:04:30.279 --> 02:04:39.960
up. Oh Man, Grant Hudson
Roman stole Taker's gimmick. For how much

1635
02:04:39.960 --> 02:04:44.359
he buried Seth and the Mini Big
Gold six feet deep tonight. He literally

1636
02:04:44.640 --> 02:04:50.239
little browed him, he did.
D E H. Sires feel bad for

1637
02:04:50.279 --> 02:04:56.119
EO and Bailey having great segment now
overshadowed by such a dumb booking decision at

1638
02:04:56.119 --> 02:05:01.359
the end. The show before Emmy
was great to me, being main event.

1639
02:05:01.960 --> 02:05:04.880
Yeah, there were a lot of
things going on on the show tonight.

1640
02:05:04.920 --> 02:05:09.720
We had new talent appearing on the
show. We had that fatal four

1641
02:05:09.760 --> 02:05:13.359
way, we'll get another one on
Monday Owens and theory was, you know,

1642
02:05:13.439 --> 02:05:17.920
a solid match, if unspectacular,
So it wasn't a bad show.

1643
02:05:18.960 --> 02:05:25.840
D E H. Sires, thank
you again for the four ninety nine.

1644
02:05:25.840 --> 02:05:30.199
Barry says, Cody story is getting
kind of dumb. It is getting kind

1645
02:05:30.199 --> 02:05:33.880
of dumb. This man's been telling
us about this story now for two years

1646
02:05:33.920 --> 02:05:38.039
and he just willingly gave up the
one chance he had to finish it,

1647
02:05:38.119 --> 02:05:42.600
so we don't have to hear about
it anymore. Everybody should be for no

1648
02:05:42.680 --> 02:05:46.600
other reason. Everybody should be fuming
right now because of that decision. Even

1649
02:05:46.640 --> 02:05:55.119
the Cody haters should be fuming right
now, Anti Ambishop, why did that

1650
02:05:55.199 --> 02:05:59.359
Cody segment give me the same feeling
like watching the Shield when Shane took out

1651
02:05:59.439 --> 02:06:03.560
Limb and he had the nerve to
cry and say sorry. It's still one

1652
02:06:03.560 --> 02:06:12.199
of the saddest scenes in all of
television. Aaron with the fifty dollars gunthar

1653
02:06:12.359 --> 02:06:15.640
bomb. I would hate this.
But what about Rock versus Cody versus Rains

1654
02:06:15.640 --> 02:06:25.560
at WrestleMania. You're right, I
don't like that. Completely unnecessary. It's

1655
02:06:25.600 --> 02:06:29.680
like somebody said before, It's like
you're taking something that was so simple and

1656
02:06:29.720 --> 02:06:33.359
you're over complicating it. There's no
need for it. It would protect Rock.

1657
02:06:33.520 --> 02:06:36.000
If you put Rock in a triple
threat, you know you can take

1658
02:06:36.079 --> 02:06:39.600
him out of the equation. He
can go rest in the corner or rest

1659
02:06:39.640 --> 02:06:43.319
on the floor. Let Roman and
Cody work for a while. Then Rock

1660
02:06:43.359 --> 02:06:46.199
pops up, he makes the big
comeback. I'm not so sure that wouldn't

1661
02:06:46.239 --> 02:06:51.600
be the better scenario for Rock Arabian
Night. People gonna sour on Cody.

1662
02:06:51.640 --> 02:07:00.199
Good job, Vince, I mean
at Triple h Randall the Sandal. I

1663
02:07:00.199 --> 02:07:04.520
really hope this is a swerve.
Rock has more juice than Tropicana and less

1664
02:07:04.600 --> 02:07:12.760
gas than a broken down car.
Goldberg Tier booking Ice, I have to

1665
02:07:12.800 --> 02:07:18.359
reread that again. Rock has more
juice than Tropicana and less gas than a

1666
02:07:18.399 --> 02:07:27.000
broken down car. You have a
way with words. My friend Aaron with

1667
02:07:27.079 --> 02:07:30.560
the twenty bucks. Could you see
Rock versus Roman at Mania getting shipped on

1668
02:07:30.680 --> 02:07:38.399
by the crowd? Probably not.
I think you would have maybe a segment

1669
02:07:38.439 --> 02:07:42.920
of the crowd, But you know, look, it's still a big match.

1670
02:07:43.079 --> 02:07:45.039
And I feel like if you're paying
for a ticket, and tickets for

1671
02:07:45.079 --> 02:07:49.840
WrestleMania are only getting more expensive,
So if you're paying to go to WrestleMania

1672
02:07:49.880 --> 02:07:54.560
and they're going to give you a
match like Rock and Roman, most people

1673
02:07:54.600 --> 02:07:59.880
are not going to sit there and
shit on it. Dan Richards tony Ka

1674
02:08:00.239 --> 02:08:03.239
just tweeted that Rock hasn't won a
match in eight years, but he is

1675
02:08:03.279 --> 02:08:07.239
getting a title match. Where is
the outrage watching Dynamite Wednesday? It's great?

1676
02:08:07.079 --> 02:08:11.079
Yeah, what's sad about that is
I can completely believe you when you

1677
02:08:11.119 --> 02:08:18.600
say that that he actually tweeted that
Joey Jojo Junior Seth rollins is that fifty

1678
02:08:18.640 --> 02:08:24.600
cent meme? Why did he say
fuck me for? I thought you were

1679
02:08:24.640 --> 02:08:28.279
going to make reference to the Cody
meme that story he told at star cast

1680
02:08:28.279 --> 02:08:31.079
that one year were the referee fucked
on him? Why did Rock fuck on

1681
02:08:31.199 --> 02:08:39.319
me? Passion fruity o g hurt. This confirms me to me my theory

1682
02:08:39.399 --> 02:08:43.880
that they called an audible at the
Royal Rumble, knowing that CM Punk was

1683
02:08:43.920 --> 02:08:48.720
injured. It was always going to
be Roman versus Rock, Seth versus Punk,

1684
02:08:48.800 --> 02:08:52.720
and Cody versus Orton. I don't
think so. I don't think so.

1685
02:08:54.000 --> 02:08:58.279
I think Cody was always the plan
for the Royal Rumble winner. I

1686
02:08:58.399 --> 02:09:05.960
disagree Arabian Night. Maybe they promised
Robin's the Samoa the Night two main event

1687
02:09:07.039 --> 02:09:11.640
next year against Punk, and they
do Cody versus Roman Night one. Cody

1688
02:09:11.680 --> 02:09:16.560
wins in the Night two Roman against
Rock, non title. I don't think

1689
02:09:16.600 --> 02:09:18.319
Seth would be very happy about that. I think Seth is gonna work his

1690
02:09:18.399 --> 02:09:22.399
ass off with this injury to get
back so he can have a big match

1691
02:09:22.399 --> 02:09:26.119
at WrestleMania. I don't think telling
him maybe next year is going to satisfy

1692
02:09:26.159 --> 02:09:37.399
him. Retro koh A's in super
Chat nailed it. This is what happens

1693
02:09:37.399 --> 02:09:41.880
when you try to make everyone happy. It just muddies the waters. You

1694
02:09:41.920 --> 02:09:45.239
try to make everybody happy and instead
you end up just pissing everybody off.

1695
02:09:45.279 --> 02:09:48.800
You can't make all people happy at
all times. It's just not possible.

1696
02:09:50.319 --> 02:09:56.880
It just doesn't work that way.
Cal They changed Humberto's name to just Berto.

1697
02:09:58.600 --> 02:10:03.680
Is that true? Now he's Burdo? I hope not. I hope

1698
02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:11.479
that's not true. Aaron with another
fifty dollars super Chat. This all sucks,

1699
02:10:11.960 --> 02:10:15.520
But does Cody win the title against
Roman? It's SummerSlam? Or is

1700
02:10:15.560 --> 02:10:20.079
it just wishful thinking? You know
we're playing out all these scenarios. Is

1701
02:10:20.119 --> 02:10:24.600
it possible, Yes, it's possible. It is possible. It could be

1702
02:10:24.600 --> 02:10:30.159
Summer Slam, it could be Elimination
Chamber. Somebody said Saudi Arabia. We

1703
02:10:30.239 --> 02:10:33.119
don't know exactly when it is going
to happen, other than based on what

1704
02:10:33.359 --> 02:10:39.079
Cody himself said in the main event
tonight, it likely will not be wrestlemaning

1705
02:10:39.600 --> 02:10:43.039
because he specifically said that it would
not happen at Wrestlemaning. That's what he

1706
02:10:43.119 --> 02:10:52.760
said. We've got Barry MK four
hundred. They stop using the Universal title

1707
02:10:52.760 --> 02:10:56.239
on TV, but the website still
counts him as champion. He's still a

1708
02:10:56.319 --> 02:11:00.640
champion of a title not even active
anymore. The whole thing is stupid.

1709
02:11:01.119 --> 02:11:05.000
The whole thing is completely dumb.
They put these two titles together. They

1710
02:11:05.000 --> 02:11:09.079
had two separate belts. Now we
have one, but yet which title lineage

1711
02:11:09.079 --> 02:11:13.319
does it follow? We don't know. We don't know, and we have

1712
02:11:13.399 --> 02:11:20.079
people talking about records that are being
surpassed and broken. But like, again,

1713
02:11:20.159 --> 02:11:22.159
the title he's holding, if you
count it as the WWE title,

1714
02:11:24.319 --> 02:11:28.840
he's nowhere close to being near these
people that are at the top of the

1715
02:11:28.880 --> 02:11:31.520
list. Like, what are we
doing here? Like what are we even

1716
02:11:31.560 --> 02:11:41.760
talking about? I just don't understand, Just doesn't make sense. Manuel Nacis,

1717
02:11:43.520 --> 02:11:46.079
is there hope for a twenty fourteen
situation? Fans turn on Rocks?

1718
02:11:46.079 --> 02:11:50.159
So ed Cody to the match?
Also, how are you feeling? Are

1719
02:11:50.239 --> 02:11:56.680
you on board with the match?
I hate this? Is it gonna be

1720
02:11:56.680 --> 02:12:01.640
a twenty fourteen situation? I don't
think so. I don't think that that's

1721
02:12:01.680 --> 02:12:03.479
what we're in for here. I
don't think we're getting the dangle Brian reducks

1722
02:12:03.479 --> 02:12:11.319
here. There's always a risk.
I don't see it. How am I?

1723
02:12:11.479 --> 02:12:15.760
Am I on board with the match
again? I'd rather not see a

1724
02:12:15.760 --> 02:12:20.039
triple threat. The match is Roman
and Cody. Cody made it very clear

1725
02:12:20.600 --> 02:12:26.439
you cheated me last year. You
know that I had you be and now

1726
02:12:26.479 --> 02:12:31.319
we get the rematch. There's no
need to muddy the waters here, not

1727
02:12:31.359 --> 02:12:33.920
saying they won't do it. Am
I on board with it? No,

1728
02:12:35.199 --> 02:12:41.239
because there's a better way to go
about doing it. And Mills, thank

1729
02:12:41.279 --> 02:12:46.800
you for the ten bucks. Appreciate
it. Carl the Crab, you can

1730
02:12:46.840 --> 02:12:52.840
physically take Vince out of WWE,
but spiritually and with the booking, he

1731
02:12:52.880 --> 02:12:58.119
will always be a part of this
company. Such a baffling decision. John

1732
02:12:58.159 --> 02:13:05.239
Horton, thank you the two bucks. Slipper House extra extra. The rock

1733
02:13:05.359 --> 02:13:11.359
is a bozo. People stay only
wait, people say only stay entertained by

1734
02:13:11.399 --> 02:13:20.840
a clown for so long? Uh, Slipper, thank you? Hold on,

1735
02:13:22.560 --> 02:13:35.479
I have to cough, so hold
on a second. Oh man,

1736
02:13:37.159 --> 02:13:43.079
I think the show nearly killed me
tonight. This show is killing me.

1737
02:13:43.159 --> 02:13:48.239
Hey, slipper, Thank you almost
choke to death here on the stream.

1738
02:13:50.560 --> 02:13:52.439
I choked. I choked to death
on the booking here at the end of

1739
02:13:52.439 --> 02:13:58.279
the show. You almost lost me
here. Sure some of you would enjoy

1740
02:13:58.319 --> 02:14:09.560
that. Uh, let's see here. Mark Kwan nineteen seventy six. I

1741
02:14:09.600 --> 02:14:15.319
got worried when Cole was taking shots
at online fans complaining about Roman. I

1742
02:14:15.359 --> 02:14:20.800
can't see him dropping that belt anytime
soon. Yeah, that happened last week.

1743
02:14:20.880 --> 02:14:24.560
Michael Cole made a comment about fans
or online fans not liking how long

1744
02:14:24.640 --> 02:14:28.760
Roman's been championed for. I mean, clearly it was a line that he

1745
02:14:28.840 --> 02:14:35.319
was fed. But Uri so wait, I miss SmackDown because of work.

1746
02:14:35.359 --> 02:14:39.560
It's one hundred percent Cody ain't getting
Roman or are we just thinking so?

1747
02:14:39.600 --> 02:14:43.600
Says ug glad TNA has been hitting
so well recently because I am tired.

1748
02:14:46.680 --> 02:14:50.000
Things are still kind of up in
the air right now. But Cody specifically

1749
02:14:50.039 --> 02:14:52.800
said that he wants that belt.
He will get that belt, but it

1750
02:14:52.840 --> 02:14:58.560
will not be at Wrestleman. That's
what he said. That's Cody's own words,

1751
02:14:58.359 --> 02:15:01.520
Turtlehead. It can't be convinced that
Punk messed up to plan that much.

1752
02:15:01.560 --> 02:15:05.319
If so that's bad that they planned
that much around a guy who they

1753
02:15:05.359 --> 02:15:13.119
did not even expect to sign.
D Eh Sires. The main event segment

1754
02:15:13.199 --> 02:15:26.039
has six thousand likes and eleven thousand
dislikes on YouTube. I'm not surprised you

1755
02:15:26.079 --> 02:15:28.399
don't like the decision. The only
thing to do is to let them know,

1756
02:15:28.479 --> 02:15:31.760
man, And that's one way that
people, I guess, are gonna

1757
02:15:31.800 --> 02:15:37.800
let their voices be heard. The
likes and dislikes on the WWE YouTube channel

1758
02:15:39.600 --> 02:15:46.199
A home Sick Savage is a new
subscriber. Welcome, Zachariah Sitchen. I

1759
02:15:46.279 --> 02:15:50.640
kind of like this illustration of me. That's why I keep cutting back to

1760
02:15:50.680 --> 02:15:54.359
it. I've never been the shape
that I'm in here in this illustration.

1761
02:15:54.439 --> 02:15:58.159
It's kind of my goal for this
year. I'm gonna try to get cut

1762
02:15:58.199 --> 02:16:05.560
here like Solo Monster in this image
here anyway, Zachariah, thank you for

1763
02:16:05.560 --> 02:16:11.239
the nine ninety nine. I would
not call the Rocky Box Office draw after

1764
02:16:11.359 --> 02:16:16.239
Black Adam Bomb. All I ask
is the Rock doesn't do his lame ash

1765
02:16:16.279 --> 02:16:20.399
stick in the build up, and
I pray it's a five minute match.

1766
02:16:20.199 --> 02:16:26.439
We all know he cannot go twenty
minutes. Well, you know, the

1767
02:16:26.520 --> 02:16:30.920
last segment we saw rocking when he
came out. We had a segment on

1768
02:16:30.960 --> 02:16:35.159
SmackDown back in September with Austin Theory, and he came back last month.

1769
02:16:35.159 --> 02:16:41.440
He had that segment with Gender Mahal, and he borrowed a lot of the

1770
02:16:41.479 --> 02:16:45.840
same shtick that he used in September. Right, you're an asshole, You're

1771
02:16:45.840 --> 02:16:48.920
a douchebag. We're gonna have this
side of the arena go yourra and the

1772
02:16:48.959 --> 02:16:54.639
other side's gonna go a douchebagh.
Okay. I'm like it's very unoriginal.

1773
02:16:54.719 --> 02:16:58.639
I'm like this guy who's like the
king of the promo back in the day,

1774
02:16:58.719 --> 02:17:01.079
Right, he was so entertaining and
he would come out and he had

1775
02:17:01.120 --> 02:17:03.280
the crowd in the palm of his
hand, and he still can command a

1776
02:17:03.360 --> 02:17:07.239
crowd like few people can. But
it's like, I'm begging for some new

1777
02:17:07.280 --> 02:17:11.520
material here. I'm begging that we
get a more serious rock. If they're

1778
02:17:11.520 --> 02:17:15.079
gonna do this match and they're gonna
bring their family and their family history and

1779
02:17:15.079 --> 02:17:18.840
their lineage into it, like go
for it, man, Like go all

1780
02:17:18.840 --> 02:17:22.479
the way with it. Don't go
for this cheap pop shit where it's like

1781
02:17:22.520 --> 02:17:26.159
this guy's a popcorn fart. This
guy's a douchebag. You get like,

1782
02:17:26.399 --> 02:17:31.280
you know what, it's so tired
and lazy and uncreative. So I hope

1783
02:17:31.319 --> 02:17:35.760
this time Rock brings his a game
and we get to see what he can

1784
02:17:35.799 --> 02:17:39.040
really do on the mic instead of
just relying on the same tired old stick.

1785
02:17:39.360 --> 02:17:41.159
Because I was not impressed by what
I saw in that segment with Jender

1786
02:17:41.200 --> 02:17:52.600
Mahal. He came out there pretending
to be Captain America, boring Joey Jojo

1787
02:17:52.719 --> 02:17:56.799
Junior Punk twenty eleven and Cody twenty
twenty four. The fact that Dwayne is

1788
02:17:56.840 --> 02:18:03.600
in the main event of WrestleMania and
I'm not makes me sick. Well,

1789
02:18:03.600 --> 02:18:07.520
he'll be in the WrestleMania Made event. It'll be the Night one made event.

1790
02:18:09.440 --> 02:18:11.840
You know, if they had two
nights of WrestleMania back then, Punk

1791
02:18:11.840 --> 02:18:16.680
may have been in the WrestleMania Made
Event. Alex Schmidt Rock and Rains video

1792
02:18:16.719 --> 02:18:22.040
on YouTube has ten thousand likes and
twenty one thousand dislikes. Uh oh,

1793
02:18:22.120 --> 02:18:28.239
it's growing, it's growing. Ali
Ali Ali, Cody Gunna main Event WrestleMania,

1794
02:18:28.319 --> 02:18:37.120
and then in parenthesis he puts backlash
Jason Smith. I don't want modern

1795
02:18:37.159 --> 02:18:41.319
wrestling. But I've been back log
I don't want I don't I think it

1796
02:18:41.440 --> 02:18:46.200
means watch. I don't watch modern
wrestling, but I've been backlogging your content

1797
02:18:46.239 --> 02:18:48.920
again and I greatly enjoy it.
Thanks for the years of videos. You're

1798
02:18:50.000 --> 02:18:52.239
very welcome. I didn't understand what
you were saying there for a second,

1799
02:18:52.280 --> 02:18:54.840
but now I get it. Thank
you very much. I appreciate that,

1800
02:18:54.840 --> 02:18:58.319
and I'm glad you enjoy all the
content. There's a lot of it.

1801
02:19:00.239 --> 02:19:03.120
There's a lot of content going back
to two thousand and seven for me,

1802
02:19:03.280 --> 02:19:09.079
so no shortage of that to go
around Alex with the ten dollars super chat.

1803
02:19:09.120 --> 02:19:11.600
Hey, brother, I don't know
if this question has been asked,

1804
02:19:11.600 --> 02:19:16.120
and if it has, I apologize
for joining the chat late. But what

1805
02:19:16.159 --> 02:19:22.799
are the chances Tonight's angle is a
huge swerve masterminded by Triple H. If

1806
02:19:22.840 --> 02:19:26.239
it's a swerve, damned if I
know what the point of it is.

1807
02:19:28.239 --> 02:19:33.680
I mean, they made it pretty
clear that Cody said I'm not gonna win

1808
02:19:33.719 --> 02:19:39.120
the title from you at WrestleMania because
there's somebody else. Rock came out and

1809
02:19:39.159 --> 02:19:43.200
there were a lot of people who
were very excited, So you have to

1810
02:19:43.200 --> 02:19:46.479
give them that match. Now now
you've teased it. I mean they teased

1811
02:19:46.520 --> 02:19:50.440
it a month ago, but now
we got that first base to face,

1812
02:19:50.200 --> 02:19:52.520
so now they have no choice.
They have to do rock and Rome.

1813
02:19:52.639 --> 02:19:56.399
Whether it's Mania or some other time, they have to do rock and Rome.

1814
02:19:56.840 --> 02:20:01.840
So we know that's gonna happen.
Cody said, I'm not going to

1815
02:20:01.280 --> 02:20:05.799
go after the title or win the
title at WrestleMania. What's the swerve?

1816
02:20:07.159 --> 02:20:11.000
I failed to see what the swerve
is or what the point was in doing

1817
02:20:11.040 --> 02:20:13.600
this. It just seems pointless.
It's almost like Russo. It's like a

1818
02:20:13.680 --> 02:20:16.879
Russo swerve. It's a pointless swerve
for the sake of doing one. If

1819
02:20:16.879 --> 02:20:20.239
that's the case. So I don't
think it's a swerve, just because I

1820
02:20:20.239 --> 02:20:26.200
don't really see the sense in the
logic behind King of Doug's style. I'm

1821
02:20:26.200 --> 02:20:30.600
gonna focus in Bailey finally getting the
spotlight she so deserves. Thank you,

1822
02:20:30.639 --> 02:20:33.959
Solomster for all the content lately.
It's been a lot, and appreciate it.

1823
02:20:33.959 --> 02:20:39.479
You're very well. Barry MK four
hundred. I did see that Brock

1824
02:20:39.639 --> 02:20:46.520
was removed from the WWE Supercard Mobile
game. Yes he was. I don't

1825
02:20:46.559 --> 02:20:50.120
know if he'll be removed from two
K twenty four. It might be too

1826
02:20:50.159 --> 02:20:54.239
late, but I guess the mobile
game is easy enough to kind of pull

1827
02:20:54.280 --> 02:20:58.200
somebody from it. I suspect that
will not be the only thing he gets

1828
02:20:58.239 --> 02:21:01.399
pulled from. Chris aughto, I
desperately want Rock and Roman to mate event

1829
02:21:01.399 --> 02:21:05.559
WrestleMania, and I will never ever
see Cody as a main event guy.

1830
02:21:05.639 --> 02:21:09.520
So naturally I am very happy right
now. Well, I am happy for

1831
02:21:09.600 --> 02:21:11.680
you. I know there are some
people who don't like Cody or they don't

1832
02:21:11.680 --> 02:21:15.159
see him at that level, and
they want Rock and Roman, and I

1833
02:21:15.159 --> 02:21:18.879
don't begrudge those people. If that's
what you want. Congratulations, you got

1834
02:21:18.920 --> 02:21:26.440
what you want. But not everybody
agrees. Tyler Sbuskowitz with a twelve dollars

1835
02:21:26.440 --> 02:21:31.920
super chat wwe managed to win me
back after twenty twenty this past year,

1836
02:21:31.959 --> 02:21:35.040
and here they go reminding me why
I left sound off FEN since twenty eleven,

1837
02:21:35.079 --> 02:21:39.879
but don't tune in live. Often
had to hear your thoughts after tonight,

1838
02:21:39.920 --> 02:21:43.239
though, Well, I hope you. I hope you caught the beginning

1839
02:21:43.280 --> 02:21:48.280
of the stream. And I don't
think I can make myself any clearer than

1840
02:21:48.280 --> 02:21:52.479
I was there. Tuxedo t Servo. Turns out Cody's story was old,

1841
02:21:52.559 --> 02:21:58.399
Yeller. I mean, seriously,
this story, how long is this story

1842
02:21:58.440 --> 02:22:05.239
going to be? His story is
going to be longer than Moby Dick Nick

1843
02:22:05.280 --> 02:22:09.959
Mason Fantasy Bookings should have had Rock
in Cody's corner to offer council for him

1844
02:22:09.959 --> 02:22:13.920
at WrestleMania, and then when Cody
wins, it leads to a Roman Rock

1845
02:22:13.239 --> 02:22:18.239
match where they have a year long
built to WrestleMania forty one. Yeah,

1846
02:22:18.280 --> 02:22:24.959
that would have been fine. That
would have been perfectly fine. Uri best

1847
02:22:24.120 --> 02:22:33.680
WWE two K Universe YouTube video bookings
are better than this, Peter McNasty.

1848
02:22:33.959 --> 02:22:37.319
Cody Royal Rumble win is one of
the most pointless wins since Sena in two

1849
02:22:37.360 --> 02:22:41.559
thousand and eight. Yeah, but
with Sena in two thousand and eight,

1850
02:22:41.600 --> 02:22:46.079
you got the big surprise in Royal
Rumble history, so at least she got

1851
02:22:46.079 --> 02:22:52.440
something out of that fallen exposure.
Was this all for Rains to carry on

1852
02:22:52.520 --> 02:22:56.200
his shriek? It's going to be
great when Cody finally wins, but Mania

1853
02:22:56.360 --> 02:23:03.920
just feels deflated now, Juice Georgia. When Rock came out, I thought

1854
02:23:03.920 --> 02:23:07.159
he was going to be the guest
referee for forty and to set up the

1855
02:23:07.200 --> 02:23:15.280
forty one main event. Now,
as soon as I as soon as I

1856
02:23:15.280 --> 02:23:16.719
heard what Cody said there, it
was pretty clear who was coming out in

1857
02:23:16.760 --> 02:23:22.319
what was going on Zay ninety seven, Better Corn song falling Away from Me

1858
02:23:22.520 --> 02:23:28.000
or Freak on a leish Freak on
a leish Xavier Walker, thank you for

1859
02:23:28.040 --> 02:23:33.360
the four ninety nine no message,
just showing some love the Mount Vernon kid

1860
02:23:33.360 --> 02:23:39.799
did Christopher Bennett rest in peace?
Carl Weathers absolutely iconic? Thank you,

1861
02:23:39.600 --> 02:23:48.200
Warm Corn, have me fight Roman
and Rock My story starts now. Well,

1862
02:23:48.239 --> 02:23:50.639
I don't know about you, guys. I'm rooting for warn now.

1863
02:23:50.639 --> 02:23:54.680
The Cody's dream is dead for this
year. I am going to hitch my

1864
02:23:54.799 --> 02:24:01.319
wagonto Warm Corn for WrestleMania. So
you got my vote, Xavier Walker.

1865
02:24:01.479 --> 02:24:05.200
They really wrote themselves in a corner. We can't see Cody against Seth again.

1866
02:24:07.159 --> 02:24:09.399
They are going to have to make
Cody goheel or something. Now.

1867
02:24:09.399 --> 02:24:13.120
They're not going to make Cody go
hel. The fans may end up making

1868
02:24:13.200 --> 02:24:16.840
him go heal at some point soon, They're not going to do that.

1869
02:24:16.920 --> 02:24:22.520
I'm thinking Cody and Seth probably is
the play here. Super pony Ko against

1870
02:24:22.559 --> 02:24:30.399
Randy at WrestleMania. Ya or nay? I like that. What's the story

1871
02:24:30.399 --> 02:24:33.440
behind it? Though? You got
two baby faces, So if you can

1872
02:24:33.440 --> 02:24:41.719
come up with a decent enough story, I'd be all for it. Arabian

1873
02:24:41.840 --> 02:24:45.280
Night. Is Rock's ego that big
that he would take a spot from someone

1874
02:24:45.319 --> 02:24:48.159
he respects? Wow? I wonder
if Hogan came back a year earlier and

1875
02:24:48.200 --> 02:24:52.680
oh One took his spot against Austin, how he would feel? Probably not

1876
02:24:52.840 --> 02:25:01.319
very good? Iconic. Do you
think Triph will be fired? He had

1877
02:25:01.360 --> 02:25:05.559
to know. We don't know what
he did know or did not know,

1878
02:25:05.920 --> 02:25:11.319
but we'll talk more about that story
on Sunday. Matthew Thomas could have had

1879
02:25:11.319 --> 02:25:20.000
the modern boyhood dream at WrestleMania.
Zachariot, guess what here in Oklahoma?

1880
02:25:20.079 --> 02:25:24.120
We just had an earthquake. Shocking
but not a coincidence. If that's not

1881
02:25:24.200 --> 02:25:26.879
a sign that we don't want Rock
and Roman at Mania, then I don't

1882
02:25:26.920 --> 02:25:31.719
know what is well. I hope
you're all safe. Hopefully it wasn't a

1883
02:25:31.799 --> 02:25:37.920
huge earthquake and all is well.
I hope thunder Force well. Now it

1884
02:25:37.920 --> 02:25:43.280
looks like the only matches I'm looking
forward to at WrestleMania are EO and Bailey

1885
02:25:43.360 --> 02:25:48.399
and Rhea and Becky. The latest
update, by the way, is that

1886
02:25:48.479 --> 02:25:58.760
the WWE video on their YouTube channel
of Cody's decision has thirty four thousand dislikes.

1887
02:26:00.840 --> 02:26:05.360
ABK against Paul Hamilton, against Aaron
against William Long in a break the

1888
02:26:05.399 --> 02:26:11.920
Bank super chat match. Hey,
I'm all in favor of that, Yuri.

1889
02:26:11.120 --> 02:26:16.200
So we're gonna get a roster thinned
elimination chamber show. In an Australian

1890
02:26:16.239 --> 02:26:18.559
market, you would think they would
want to pop. Why can't Rock versus

1891
02:26:18.680 --> 02:26:28.760
Roman be there would add to Cody's
win. Shaking my head, Bony with

1892
02:26:28.799 --> 02:26:31.959
the five bucks. Imagine you're CM
Punk and you're injured. You injured,

1893
02:26:33.000 --> 02:26:35.079
you're pecking a match, just be
the runner up, only for the winner

1894
02:26:35.120 --> 02:26:45.719
to give away his title shot.
I would fight tears too, Richie.

1895
02:26:46.200 --> 02:26:50.600
So the Rock is basically Batista and
Cody is basically Dangle Bryan from twenty thirteen.

1896
02:26:52.079 --> 02:26:54.479
Again, I'm not so sure about
that. I don't know that we're

1897
02:26:54.479 --> 02:27:01.559
gonna have the kind of backlash we
had in twenty fourteen, not that I

1898
02:27:01.559 --> 02:27:05.040
would mind. I mean, hey, look, if if the fans,

1899
02:27:05.799 --> 02:27:09.959
here's what I would say. If
the fans are really upset about this.

1900
02:27:11.280 --> 02:27:13.680
And again we still have to wait
and see what Cody is going to say

1901
02:27:13.680 --> 02:27:16.799
on Monday, what decision he makes, What does this all mean for his

1902
02:27:16.840 --> 02:27:20.680
match at WrestleMania. But if things
progress in the way that it looks like

1903
02:27:20.719 --> 02:27:26.040
they're going to progress, and people
are genuinely upset about this, I think

1904
02:27:26.040 --> 02:27:31.760
with Rock on board, they're locked
in. But let your voices be heard

1905
02:27:31.719 --> 02:27:37.760
in whatever form or fashion it may
be on social media, if disliking their

1906
02:27:37.879 --> 02:27:41.200
videos on YouTube, or you want
to bring signs or be vocal at the

1907
02:27:41.200 --> 02:27:45.920
shows. I mean, the fans
can voice their opinion. Doesn't mean WWE

1908
02:27:45.959 --> 02:27:50.479
is going to listen to what they
have to say, But speak your mind,

1909
02:27:50.559 --> 02:27:58.280
whatever you think, speak your mind. But Richie, thank you.

1910
02:27:58.319 --> 02:28:07.360
We have Motif. Miao Miao,
miaou and uh meow, thank you Motif.

1911
02:28:07.600 --> 02:28:16.719
Apparently Motif is currently waiting for his
vet appointment tomorrow Velvet Floor eighteen.

1912
02:28:16.799 --> 02:28:20.840
The fact that Dwayne is in the
main event at WrestleMania and I'm not makes

1913
02:28:20.879 --> 02:28:26.959
me sick. Does it sound familiar? Yes, it does, Texas Aggie,

1914
02:28:28.079 --> 02:28:31.280
twelve ninety nine. For a company
that's so successful, they sure know

1915
02:28:31.360 --> 02:28:33.440
how to fumble fuck stories. I
like that fumblefuck. I'm gonna start using

1916
02:28:33.440 --> 02:28:37.239
that fumble fuck stories that are right
in front of them. Cody deserves better

1917
02:28:37.280 --> 02:28:43.559
than this crap. Grant Hudson with
the nineteen ninety nine Apparently Dave said on

1918
02:28:43.600 --> 02:28:48.680
the board that combination of Punk getting
hurt and the Vince stuff made them,

1919
02:28:50.200 --> 02:28:54.280
Uh, I think he fucked up
the super chat there, but apparently that

1920
02:28:54.399 --> 02:28:58.879
factored into the decision. Says punkin
Seth and Cody and Roman were the o

1921
02:29:00.200 --> 02:29:05.440
G plans and Rock Roman was gonna
happen later in Saudi Arabia or WrestleMania forty

1922
02:29:05.479 --> 02:29:07.680
one. Well, you know,
again, that's just fucking stupid. If

1923
02:29:07.680 --> 02:29:13.159
that's the case. You had plans
locked, and I get that Punk got

1924
02:29:13.200 --> 02:29:15.680
hurt, he went down, They
panicked, They got to figure out a

1925
02:29:15.719 --> 02:29:18.920
plan B. This was not it. This was not it. I mean,

1926
02:29:18.920 --> 02:29:22.040
if we come to find out that
that and all this Vince shit going

1927
02:29:22.120 --> 02:29:26.040
on and this was their way of
trying to deflect from that, that makes

1928
02:29:26.079 --> 02:29:30.239
it even worse, because that just
reeks of desperation. That makes it even

1929
02:29:30.280 --> 02:29:35.239
worse that they would fuck up their
own plans. They had solid plans going

1930
02:29:35.280 --> 02:29:37.879
into WrestleMania this year. They had
no good reason. If that's true,

1931
02:29:39.280 --> 02:29:43.600
they had no good reason to do
what they did. That is a panic

1932
02:29:43.639 --> 02:29:52.440
move if I've ever seen one,
Anthony, I guess it's video packages until

1933
02:29:52.479 --> 02:29:56.239
Mania for the main events, since
these guys barely show up. Yeah,

1934
02:29:56.280 --> 02:29:58.360
I hope you're ready for that.
By the way, I mentioned two part

1935
02:29:58.360 --> 02:30:01.639
timers in the WrestleMania main event.
You think you're gonna get Roman and Rock

1936
02:30:01.760 --> 02:30:05.760
on the same show more than once
or twice in the build up to WrestleMania.

1937
02:30:07.159 --> 02:30:09.360
I don't know. Maybe Rock is
on the board now, maybe if

1938
02:30:09.360 --> 02:30:15.760
he clears his schedule he can actually
appear a few times. But I hope

1939
02:30:15.799 --> 02:30:20.559
people are prepared for that. William
long Area is, there's my boy William

1940
02:30:20.600 --> 02:30:28.120
here with the three hundred dollars super
chat bomb solo. I try to be

1941
02:30:28.200 --> 02:30:33.719
reasonable. I watch both AW and
WWE and avidly avoid tribalism. But tonight

1942
02:30:33.840 --> 02:30:37.959
was the most insulted that I have
felt as a fan for caring about something

1943
02:30:39.040 --> 02:30:43.399
since the Fiend and Rollins in twenty
nineteen. Has me about to drop WWE

1944
02:30:43.479 --> 02:30:50.159
until Punk comes back. I don't
know. For catharsis what bad decisions almost

1945
02:30:50.200 --> 02:31:00.399
made you tap out the Allied Powers
seriously. In ninety five, I remember

1946
02:31:00.399 --> 02:31:05.559
watching the Allied Powers. They put
Bulldog and Lugur together as this weird combination

1947
02:31:05.680 --> 02:31:09.760
on TV as a team, and
that coupled with some of the gimmicks at

1948
02:31:09.760 --> 02:31:13.360
the time, the Blue Brothers or
Jacob and Eli Blue, and we had

1949
02:31:13.440 --> 02:31:18.280
all this nonsense going on, and
I was this close to just tapping out

1950
02:31:18.319 --> 02:31:26.479
for good. In more recent years, there have been some bone headed decisions

1951
02:31:26.479 --> 02:31:31.200
that I hated. I wouldn't say
it almost made me tap out, but

1952
02:31:31.840 --> 02:31:35.559
yeah, there have been a lot
of dumb decisions over the years. But

1953
02:31:35.639 --> 02:31:41.040
that's probably the closest I've ever came
to just being done with. The whole

1954
02:31:41.040 --> 02:31:46.000
thing was in ninety five. Had
its moments, but it was pretty fucking

1955
02:31:46.040 --> 02:31:50.319
bad. But William, thank you
for the three hundred dollars super chat.

1956
02:31:50.360 --> 02:31:54.440
I appreciate it, and I'm glad
you're still around. Stick it out,

1957
02:31:54.719 --> 02:31:56.840
stick it at it'll get better,
and if not, you always have me

1958
02:31:56.959 --> 02:32:03.159
to rant about it here. So
at least you got that motif says I

1959
02:32:03.280 --> 02:32:09.920
like turtles. First he's a cat, Now he's a turtle. Elijah Ricard

1960
02:32:09.200 --> 02:32:16.239
with the fifty bucks. Hopefully Bailey
gets her Hugger theme back now stories over

1961
02:32:16.360 --> 02:32:20.760
you fucking geek, line of the
year, love you solo again. I

1962
02:32:20.799 --> 02:32:24.479
can't confirm it, but it looked
to me like maybe that's what Rock whispered

1963
02:32:24.479 --> 02:32:26.719
in his ear. Story's over you
fucking No, it wasn't story. I

1964
02:32:26.719 --> 02:32:31.040
think it was a dream dreams over
you fucking geek. Don't quote me on

1965
02:32:31.079 --> 02:32:35.120
that, but that may have been
what he whispered in Cody's ear. Kevin

1966
02:32:35.440 --> 02:32:39.840
Murrillo. This could only make sense
if Roman made events WrestleMania Night one against

1967
02:32:39.920 --> 02:32:45.040
Rock winner takes on Cody. This
gives Roman the greatest night of his career,

1968
02:32:45.159 --> 02:32:50.040
only to lose it all on night
too. You know what, I'd

1969
02:32:50.040 --> 02:32:54.440
be okay with that. I'm just
going by what they had in the segment

1970
02:32:54.479 --> 02:32:58.719
tonight, when Cody made it very
clear I'm gonna win that title from you,

1971
02:32:58.719 --> 02:33:03.239
but now to wrestle me. They
can make a liar out of him,

1972
02:33:03.600 --> 02:33:05.319
and they can pivot and they can
come up with that as another plan.

1973
02:33:05.479 --> 02:33:07.840
It sounds to me like they're just
kind of booking this on the fly.

1974
02:33:09.760 --> 02:33:13.760
At least if what that if what
Meltzer apparently said on the board is

1975
02:33:13.799 --> 02:33:18.360
correct that it was a combination of
the Punk injury and the Vince stuff,

1976
02:33:18.399 --> 02:33:20.120
and they're trying to deflect, and
they're trying to come up with something big.

1977
02:33:20.600 --> 02:33:24.600
That doesn't sound to me like a
lot of thought was put into this

1978
02:33:24.920 --> 02:33:28.959
over an extended period of time,
even though they've wanted, you know,

1979
02:33:28.120 --> 02:33:31.840
we thought Rock and Roman might be
possible, But it sounds like exactly what

1980
02:33:31.879 --> 02:33:35.600
I said, This all came together
very quickly. You can do Rock and

1981
02:33:35.680 --> 02:33:39.280
Roman on night one. You can
do Cody and Roman on night two.

1982
02:33:39.159 --> 02:33:43.479
Roman beats Rock, he's on you
know, he's flying high, goes into

1983
02:33:43.520 --> 02:33:48.000
Mania Night two. Rock can do
the same thing that I've said before.

1984
02:33:48.120 --> 02:33:50.440
You know, he comes back out
on night two, but it fights off

1985
02:33:50.440 --> 02:33:54.959
the bloodline. Now we have a
fair fight. Now Roman doesn't have anybody,

1986
02:33:54.959 --> 02:33:58.399
he doesn't have Jimmy, he doesn't
have solo, and then Cody wins

1987
02:33:58.440 --> 02:34:01.920
the belt. You do that.
You could do that. That could be

1988
02:34:01.959 --> 02:34:07.000
one way to salvage things for Cody
if fucks over Seth Rollins, you know,

1989
02:34:07.040 --> 02:34:09.879
if he wants his main event.
But you could do that. But

1990
02:34:11.879 --> 02:34:15.639
right now, at this moment,
it doesn't look like it doesn't look like

1991
02:34:15.680 --> 02:34:18.879
it. Brandon Vasquez. Initially it
was Cody against Roman, Why would they

1992
02:34:18.879 --> 02:34:22.159
pan the camera with Cody pointing to
Roman with both of them mouthing off to

1993
02:34:22.239 --> 02:34:28.639
each other after Cody's rumble win Hunk's
injury changed all of the original plans.

1994
02:34:31.959 --> 02:34:37.520
This is all Drew McIntyre's fault,
mister Sithe. This was the equivalent of

1995
02:34:37.559 --> 02:34:43.120
them making Cody go sit in the
cup chair. Between this and Punk's injury,

1996
02:34:43.200 --> 02:34:52.120
my excitement for media has gone down
the shitter passion fruity yogurt. In

1997
02:34:52.159 --> 02:34:56.479
your opinion, if Cmpunk did not
get injured, what would he slash Cody

1998
02:34:56.520 --> 02:35:00.920
slash Rock be doing at WrestleMania.
What would both tie matches look like?

1999
02:35:01.120 --> 02:35:05.280
As I've said, Seth and Punk
Night one, Cody Roman Knight two.

2000
02:35:05.360 --> 02:35:09.360
Rock comes in, chases off the
bloodline. This is simple, This is

2001
02:35:09.399 --> 02:35:13.319
simple. Any simpleton could have booked
that and it would have been perfect.

2002
02:35:13.760 --> 02:35:18.600
So we're not for the injury.
That's how WrestleMania goes now, Colin see

2003
02:35:18.879 --> 02:35:24.239
two possibilities for WrestleMania made event.
A Rock versus Roman non title Roman goes

2004
02:35:24.280 --> 02:35:33.479
over or B Cody and Rock versus
Roman and Solo at WrestleMania No. A

2005
02:35:33.520 --> 02:35:39.479
tag team match at WrestleMania. No, absolutely not Tyrone Dunstan, thank you

2006
02:35:39.520 --> 02:35:43.040
for the five bucks. Jazz Jack, Rabbit, Rock and Roman would rather

2007
02:35:43.079 --> 02:35:48.920
see Hangman against Tayo Leoni. You
know, until the other night again,

2008
02:35:48.959 --> 02:35:52.959
I didn't put two and two together, and I just you know Tota Leoni

2009
02:35:54.280 --> 02:35:58.280
of the Mogul Embassy. It's like
someone mentioned tay Leoni and now I will

2010
02:35:58.280 --> 02:36:03.959
never be able to look at toa
too Leone or Leoni. I can't even

2011
02:36:03.959 --> 02:36:05.559
say his name now I'll never be
able to look at him the same way.

2012
02:36:05.559 --> 02:36:09.959
Now I will always picture Tayleone's face
now on his body with all the

2013
02:36:11.000 --> 02:36:16.239
tattoos. Wwe killed the rest of
the show, example of the bay Or

2014
02:36:16.280 --> 02:36:22.479
except the Bailey segment feel violated,
which is par for this fin company.

2015
02:36:24.000 --> 02:36:28.719
Well, let's not talk about that. This of all weeks, Kreflo half

2016
02:36:28.760 --> 02:36:35.600
dollar looks like the Roads to WrestleMania
just got a little rocky. I'll be

2017
02:36:35.719 --> 02:36:39.920
performing on the Van Wick all week. Good. I hope the birds get

2018
02:36:39.959 --> 02:36:46.879
to you the third Morris or Morris
when Rock's music hit, did you consider

2019
02:36:46.959 --> 02:36:52.479
breaking something or putting a hole in
the wall. Well, that wouldn't really

2020
02:36:52.520 --> 02:36:56.239
do me any good, would it? I just kind of laughed and then

2021
02:36:56.239 --> 02:37:03.639
I shook my head and then and
then the anger slowly set in. But

2022
02:37:03.719 --> 02:37:07.079
no, I'm not going to break
my own shit, Yuri, doesn't this

2023
02:37:07.280 --> 02:37:11.879
kill Royal Rumble wins a little bit
and make Cody against Seth seem hollow?

2024
02:37:11.920 --> 02:37:16.520
If that is the next step,
I think even off Cody's emotion tonight shows

2025
02:37:16.559 --> 02:37:24.120
that, yeah, Ali Batista did
not give up his main event like a

2026
02:37:24.159 --> 02:37:28.680
moron. No, he did not. And I actually don't blame Batista at

2027
02:37:28.680 --> 02:37:31.360
all for what happened back then.
It wasn't his fault. Apparently Batista Batista

2028
02:37:31.399 --> 02:37:35.760
actually recognized that if they brought him
back as a babyface that night at the

2029
02:37:35.840 --> 02:37:39.479
Royal Rumble, he was gonna get
booed. And he was right, So

2030
02:37:39.799 --> 02:37:43.360
Big Dave with the big Brain retro, koh, unless I am mistaken.

2031
02:37:43.399 --> 02:37:48.360
Cody shared on Instagram that he will
be on next week's SmackDown. Does anything

2032
02:37:48.479 --> 02:37:54.600
change by then? We'll have to
wait and see. We'll have to wait

2033
02:37:54.639 --> 02:38:01.120
and see. You know, we
react to these shows sometimes in a vacuum.

2034
02:38:01.360 --> 02:38:05.040
You watch the show, you react
to the show. Is it possible

2035
02:38:05.079 --> 02:38:09.559
that a week from now things look
different than they look tonight. I hope

2036
02:38:09.559 --> 02:38:13.719
so, I hope so, I
hope so. I would love to be

2037
02:38:13.719 --> 02:38:18.840
wrong about as you can only go
by what we go by. We only

2038
02:38:18.879 --> 02:38:24.319
go by what we see. What
we see tonight was pretty clear. You're

2039
02:38:24.360 --> 02:38:28.280
telling me Cody is going to be
on Spackdown next week. Maybe he is

2040
02:38:28.319 --> 02:38:31.760
going to challenge Roman for the Elimination
Chamber. Maybe they're going to add Roman

2041
02:38:31.799 --> 02:38:39.879
to the chamber and they're gonna do
the match there. Uh motif? I

2042
02:38:39.920 --> 02:38:45.680
I have a theory, hear me
out. Triple H is a calculated mfr

2043
02:38:45.760 --> 02:38:50.559
who knows what he is doing.
What if he is sabotaging the Rock for

2044
02:38:50.719 --> 02:38:54.360
years wwe has been a sanctuary for
him to return whenever and get wildly cheered,

2045
02:38:56.040 --> 02:39:01.319
And then he continues, What if
Triple is wanting the crowds to turn

2046
02:39:01.360 --> 02:39:07.600
on Rocky Philly booed Rock and Roman
out of the building at the Royal Rumble

2047
02:39:07.639 --> 02:39:13.879
in twenty fifteen. Maybe Triple H
knows that this Vince scandal might eventually take

2048
02:39:13.959 --> 02:39:18.159
him down and he wants to take
his oldest rival down too. That is

2049
02:39:18.239 --> 02:39:22.000
quite the imagination that you got there, and that is absolutely not what's going

2050
02:39:22.040 --> 02:39:26.159
on here. I don't believe that
for a second. Do I think that

2051
02:39:26.239 --> 02:39:31.600
Triple H still harbors some professional jealousy
when it comes to the Rock, Yeah,

2052
02:39:31.600 --> 02:39:37.680
I don't think that's ever gone away. But that's a very creative pitch.

2053
02:39:37.479 --> 02:39:43.559
But no, that is not what's
going on, Hollywood guy. Is

2054
02:39:43.600 --> 02:39:48.920
this more of a TKO decision than
Triple H's. I don't think TKO would

2055
02:39:48.920 --> 02:39:52.760
get involved in the creative process.
I'm sure they love the fact that Rock

2056
02:39:52.879 --> 02:39:56.079
is involved. Do I think that
they made the call? No, I

2057
02:39:56.120 --> 02:40:01.239
don't. I don't think they're going
to get involved in creative issues. Devin

2058
02:40:01.239 --> 02:40:05.840
from NJ is WWE a entertainment company
over a wrestling company. That's why a

2059
02:40:05.840 --> 02:40:09.479
part time guy like Rock gets the
main event over a workhorse like Cody.

2060
02:40:11.200 --> 02:40:16.639
WWE has been an entertainment company for
years more than a wrestling company, so

2061
02:40:16.200 --> 02:40:20.600
it's not shocking they would do something
like that. But to answer your question,

2062
02:40:20.639 --> 02:40:24.440
that's exactly what they are. I
mean the word entertainment. I mean,

2063
02:40:24.479 --> 02:40:28.120
I know the word wrestling is in
the name, but the word entertainment

2064
02:40:28.200 --> 02:40:33.000
is really what they focus on Arabian
Night. What if the reason Cody said

2065
02:40:33.000 --> 02:40:37.079
I'm not facing your WrestleMania is because
Rock against Roman is happening at the Chamber

2066
02:40:39.159 --> 02:40:45.159
and Cody is implying that you won't
make it to WrestleMania as the champion.

2067
02:40:46.719 --> 02:40:50.239
I don't know. I mean I
could have sworn the specific quote was I'm

2068
02:40:50.280 --> 02:40:54.959
taking that title, but the implication
is he would take the title or win

2069
02:40:54.000 --> 02:40:58.840
the title, but not a wrestleming. So I mean, if he was

2070
02:40:58.840 --> 02:41:03.799
specifically talking about out taking it from
Roman or beating Roman, then I might

2071
02:41:03.879 --> 02:41:05.600
be able to kind of see what
you're saying there. But I thought the

2072
02:41:05.639 --> 02:41:13.319
implication was I'm taking that title,
just not a WRESTLEMANI, which would invalidate

2073
02:41:13.360 --> 02:41:16.600
what you are asking. The Data
and Boys podcast, Don't Be a Hater

2074
02:41:16.760 --> 02:41:26.440
solo and Smell Smell, Oh it
smells, I smell it. Chris manson

2075
02:41:26.559 --> 02:41:31.520
Dwayne coming in to pinch it for
Cody in the ninth Take all the Glory

2076
02:41:31.520 --> 02:41:35.879
to Cody plays for nine innings and
then in comes Rock to pinch it,

2077
02:41:39.360 --> 02:41:43.840
and then he gets a walk off, a walk off win for the team

2078
02:41:43.959 --> 02:41:50.520
when he gets hit by pitch on
a basis loaded Ronan Mike clips. I

2079
02:41:50.520 --> 02:41:54.639
imagine Punk sitting at his hospital like
Rust Cole from Season one of True detective

2080
02:41:54.719 --> 02:42:01.760
watching Ras, saying to himself,
time is a flat circle. They really

2081
02:42:01.799 --> 02:42:05.280
have not been able to replicate the
magic of that first season have although I

2082
02:42:05.360 --> 02:42:07.799
have I have not yet tried watching
the fourth season. I've heard it's pretty

2083
02:42:07.840 --> 02:42:15.360
good, but I have not watched
it yet. Ronan also says, do

2084
02:42:15.360 --> 02:42:20.200
you think Triple H told Cody I'll
owe you one pal? Maybe Triple H

2085
02:42:20.280 --> 02:42:26.200
has never let go of the hammered
to the throne. You know, Cody

2086
02:42:26.239 --> 02:42:33.399
has that throne in his gym at
the Nightmare Factory in Georgia. As soon

2087
02:42:33.399 --> 02:42:35.600
as you walk in, it's to
the right, It's right there in the

2088
02:42:35.639 --> 02:42:41.200
corner Arabian night. This is all
because Punk got hurt one hundred percent because

2089
02:42:41.200 --> 02:42:45.600
they had both nights covered and there
would be no need for the Rock.

2090
02:42:46.239 --> 02:42:52.799
That is the only logical reason thunder
Force to quote the goat frustrated. Frustrated

2091
02:42:52.879 --> 02:43:01.600
is not the goddamn word for it. Kevin Marilla Rock counseling Cody to give

2092
02:43:01.680 --> 02:43:07.520
him the main event is like Hogan
counseling Bischoff the sabotage Stark ninety seven because

2093
02:43:07.559 --> 02:43:11.479
thing was not tanned enough. That's
right, he wasn't ten enough on that

2094
02:43:11.520 --> 02:43:16.600
show. He wasn't looking, he
wasn't looking the part, so Hogan had

2095
02:43:16.600 --> 02:43:20.440
to do what he had to do. Even those thing ended up winning the

2096
02:43:20.479 --> 02:43:26.520
title. Hogan really beat Hogan Pindum, fair and square. Never forget Uri

2097
02:43:28.239 --> 02:43:33.200
trying to make sense. He says, Roman gets cocky in Roman gets cocky

2098
02:43:33.280 --> 02:43:39.440
in face if Rock promising him a
match, and Rock uses his known role

2099
02:43:39.600 --> 02:43:45.680
as a way to get Cody in
versus Roman for night two as a nod

2100
02:43:45.719 --> 02:43:48.399
to Roman's run, but payoff.
I have no idea what you just said.

2101
02:43:50.879 --> 02:43:52.440
I don't doubt that you put a
lot of effort into it, but

2102
02:43:52.479 --> 02:43:56.079
I have no clue you said trying
to make sense. I know you tried,

2103
02:43:58.479 --> 02:44:03.040
but it didn't work. Yuri,
Thank you. Though, Zay says

2104
02:44:03.040 --> 02:44:07.280
Triple Ah is starting to live up
to that dufus son in Law title,

2105
02:44:09.239 --> 02:44:16.360
and Boobah Rock's music hits and I'm
sure solo monster size and then spiles because

2106
02:44:16.399 --> 02:44:20.280
he knows his stream is going to
be money. Brother. You know what's

2107
02:44:20.280 --> 02:44:26.200
funny is that as soon as as
soon as that whole segment went down,

2108
02:44:26.239 --> 02:44:30.639
I just kind of peered over into
the chat and I already I saw the

2109
02:44:30.719 --> 02:44:31.959
number of people going up up up, and I said, it's going to

2110
02:44:33.000 --> 02:44:37.520
be one of those nights. It's
going to be one of those nights where

2111
02:44:37.520 --> 02:44:46.360
we all commiserate together. And it
was. It certainly was, But that

2112
02:44:46.360 --> 02:44:50.600
that covers I think the majority of
that. Holy shit. Man, Wow,

2113
02:44:50.360 --> 02:44:54.760
we still have well over twenty seven
hundred people with us here one point

2114
02:44:54.760 --> 02:45:00.920
thirty in the morning. We still
got super chats coming in though. Yeah,

2115
02:45:00.959 --> 02:45:03.639
I promise you, by the way, be the booker. If we

2116
02:45:03.760 --> 02:45:09.239
hit a minimum of four hundred likes. We are closing in on twelve hundred

2117
02:45:09.520 --> 02:45:13.719
likes, So let's hit that one
two zero zero. Here in a bit.

2118
02:45:16.200 --> 02:45:22.719
Hydro Grad just dropped at twenty.
My assumption is that Cody against Roman

2119
02:45:22.760 --> 02:45:26.719
takes place at the Chamber, Cody
beats Roman, a Rock against Roman happens

2120
02:45:26.760 --> 02:45:30.959
at Mania without the belt on the
line, with Cody going into Mania as

2121
02:45:31.000 --> 02:45:33.920
the champion. Either way, this
is stupid. This is stupid. Yes,

2122
02:45:33.959 --> 02:45:39.239
if it plays out this way,
it's very stupid. And shout out

2123
02:45:39.239 --> 02:45:43.399
to Anton, by the way,
who just dropped his very first super chat.

2124
02:45:43.440 --> 02:45:45.840
He says, I hope it's some
kind of a swerve. I hope

2125
02:45:45.840 --> 02:45:50.000
for a three way. I hope
that I wake up and it's all just

2126
02:45:50.040 --> 02:45:56.479
a dream, an American dream.
Where did I leave off? My god,

2127
02:45:56.479 --> 02:46:03.760
there's so many of them on two
three, Cody Roman anywhere, but

2128
02:46:03.840 --> 02:46:11.600
Mania just isn't the same. Well, look, the Roman Rock fans would

2129
02:46:11.600 --> 02:46:13.680
probably say the same thing about their
match, right, Oh, it has

2130
02:46:13.719 --> 02:46:22.239
to be wrestlemane can't be anywhere else, Jano compo. The Rock Roman match

2131
02:46:22.319 --> 02:46:28.600
might be a worse kickout fest for
the last ten minutes, like Sena versus

2132
02:46:28.719 --> 02:46:31.360
Rock two at WrestleMania twenty nine.
You were at the match and did not

2133
02:46:31.600 --> 02:46:35.000
like it. No, I hated
it. I thought it sucked, And

2134
02:46:35.040 --> 02:46:39.520
that's all it was. That's all
half the match was. It was just

2135
02:46:41.639 --> 02:46:45.360
attitude adjustment, rock Bottom, attitude
adjustment, rock Bottom, attitude adjustment,

2136
02:46:45.399 --> 02:46:48.799
slips out, rock Bottom, attempt
slips out, attitude adjustment rock Bottom,

2137
02:46:48.680 --> 02:46:58.079
and then Rock tore his his fucking
abdomen another rock Bottom attempt attitude. I

2138
02:46:58.079 --> 02:47:01.360
mean, that was the match that
was literally lay like sixty percent of the

2139
02:47:01.360 --> 02:47:07.200
match, and the people in the
stadium were pretty dead for it. So

2140
02:47:07.360 --> 02:47:11.760
when they went once in a lifetime, it became twice in a lifetime and

2141
02:47:11.799 --> 02:47:16.920
it did not live up to expectation
a pop Pops Gaming. Thank you for

2142
02:47:16.959 --> 02:47:24.040
the sub Andres Castillo. If Cody
can't finish at Mania, can we get

2143
02:47:24.079 --> 02:47:26.920
Solo Monster to finish his story on
two K twenty three from India instead?

2144
02:47:26.959 --> 02:47:31.639
Thanks for everything. At this rate, I'm just waiting for two K twenty

2145
02:47:31.719 --> 02:47:35.360
four and we'll just start a new
story. I guarantee you I'll probably finish

2146
02:47:35.440 --> 02:47:41.479
my story before he finishes his Anton
with his very first super chat again,

2147
02:47:41.840 --> 02:47:46.399
thank you very much, super Pony. Maybe Cody will win it at Great

2148
02:47:46.520 --> 02:47:56.760
Balls of Fire like Samoa Joe did
Yuri. It's gonna try again. Rock

2149
02:47:56.879 --> 02:48:03.079
uses his TKO position to get Cody
in for Night two, even if he

2150
02:48:03.159 --> 02:48:07.319
loses as payback for Roman's nonsense.
Well, he would have to do it

2151
02:48:07.360 --> 02:48:09.600
early. I mean, he's he's
not gonna wrestle, you know, and

2152
02:48:09.639 --> 02:48:13.079
lose to Roman at Night one and
then you know, at the end of

2153
02:48:13.120 --> 02:48:18.000
the show be like, oh,
by the way, I'm gonna get Cody

2154
02:48:18.040 --> 02:48:22.319
in there in that main event the
next night. Again, this all we

2155
02:48:22.360 --> 02:48:24.200
can. We can sit here all
night and come up with so many different

2156
02:48:24.639 --> 02:48:31.239
possibilities and permutations. You know,
it's just it's silly. It's unnecessary.

2157
02:48:31.360 --> 02:48:39.200
This didn't have to be like this
retro, says Tea Mama in my soul

2158
02:48:39.559 --> 02:48:46.520
stole that match from Cody Roads.
Luis Well, Luise can get very animated.

2159
02:48:46.639 --> 02:48:50.000
Louise is not happy. He says, screw Roman reigns and screw the

2160
02:48:50.120 --> 02:48:58.840
rock. That's right, that's right, you tell him. Louis Booba says,

2161
02:49:00.040 --> 02:49:03.239
twelve hundred likes. Wow, let's
book a pl brother. You know

2162
02:49:03.280 --> 02:49:05.440
what, I think. You guys
killed it so much. We may have

2163
02:49:05.479 --> 02:49:11.120
to bust out the stipulations tonight.
That's what I think. A couple more

2164
02:49:11.120 --> 02:49:16.040
here and then we'll get to it. Eight nine text says Heel Cody Rhodes.

2165
02:49:16.879 --> 02:49:22.479
You're just gonna undo everything they've worked
for over the past year. No

2166
02:49:24.319 --> 02:49:35.719
Doctor Bropio objective failed. Fuck you
fuck. You can give me nightmares about

2167
02:49:35.719 --> 02:49:45.159
that game. Objective failed, Alan
Alick, My media hype literally died out

2168
02:49:45.159 --> 02:49:54.399
completely tonight. Jeremy Wattley, I
finally caught you live. I am an

2169
02:49:54.399 --> 02:49:58.719
American living in Germany. It's seven
twenty eight. I guess in the morning.

2170
02:49:58.840 --> 02:50:01.680
Just wanted to say I always listened
to the show. If you get

2171
02:50:01.719 --> 02:50:05.079
a chance to go to Europe,
it's going by so fast. If you

2172
02:50:05.079 --> 02:50:07.680
get a chance to go to Europe, you will enjoy. I would love

2173
02:50:07.719 --> 02:50:11.840
to go to Europe. I've never
been to Europe. I've been to Central

2174
02:50:11.879 --> 02:50:18.159
America. I've been to have I've
been. I've been to Canada, multiple

2175
02:50:18.159 --> 02:50:20.920
places in Canada. I've been to
Mexico. I've been to Costa Rica.

2176
02:50:20.920 --> 02:50:26.799
I've been to Columbia. Uh No, never, never Europe. Never been

2177
02:50:26.840 --> 02:50:33.600
to Europe. Jazz, How have
you been sleeping the past week? Not

2178
02:50:33.760 --> 02:50:37.520
very well. I still have not
recovered from all the sleep I didn't get

2179
02:50:39.000 --> 02:50:46.840
in Florida, so I'm not I'm
not doing too well, Tyrone. Imagine

2180
02:50:46.840 --> 02:50:50.239
the Rock and Shane McMahon in the
same ring today. The amount of sweat

2181
02:50:50.280 --> 02:50:52.680
accumulation would flood the entire arena.
You could throw a Brocken there too.

2182
02:50:54.600 --> 02:51:01.479
He turns purple within two minutes.
Dripping would be like the Great flood of

2183
02:51:01.520 --> 02:51:05.479
twenty twenty four. It would just
wipe out. Every city on the coast

2184
02:51:05.479 --> 02:51:09.200
would be flooded. We wouldn't even
have to wait for a global warming to

2185
02:51:09.200 --> 02:51:11.200
do us in. It would just
be in one fell swoop. We'd all

2186
02:51:11.239 --> 02:51:20.760
be just washed away into the ocean. Yuri says, I agree, absolutely

2187
02:51:20.879 --> 02:51:26.399
unnecessary. Maybe it's shocked disappointment.
It probably is a coma. Mikey's burner

2188
02:51:26.479 --> 02:51:31.760
Seth versus Cody is not a main
event, so there you go. He

2189
02:51:31.760 --> 02:51:35.399
says, it's not a main event. Jake Ceiling. At least the Bailey

2190
02:51:35.479 --> 02:51:41.319
damage control segment ruled it was very
good. I thought that they pulled that

2191
02:51:41.440 --> 02:51:46.239
up very well. The Winston slip. If Wrestle Mitia twenty nine, had

2192
02:51:46.360 --> 02:51:52.079
Rock seen a punk who faces the
Undertaker, it's a good question. I

2193
02:51:52.120 --> 02:51:58.520
don't know. I don't know who
the available names at the time that would

2194
02:51:58.559 --> 02:52:01.520
have made sense. I don't know
who it would have been if you made

2195
02:52:01.559 --> 02:52:05.040
that a triple threat. They had
Triple H and Brock on the show,

2196
02:52:07.000 --> 02:52:11.479
so that probably Triple H's match,
so that would have been fine. I

2197
02:52:11.520 --> 02:52:15.360
mean, who else would have really
been available for that spot? I don't

2198
02:52:15.360 --> 02:52:20.440
know offhand. You're asking me to
go back and remember the twenty thirteen roster.

2199
02:52:20.600 --> 02:52:28.159
I don't know they had ride Back
against Mark Henry, so maybe I

2200
02:52:28.200 --> 02:52:33.600
don't know Undertaker and ride Back,
I don't know. I have no idea.

2201
02:52:35.559 --> 02:52:39.760
Matthew Thomas, if Cody wants to
take the belt from Roman then why

2202
02:52:39.799 --> 02:52:45.000
would he risk the Rock winning at
WrestleMania. Does that mean the Rock against

2203
02:52:45.079 --> 02:52:48.680
Roman is non title? It makes
no sense. Well, you've just perfectly

2204
02:52:48.760 --> 02:52:52.680
encapsulated everything I said in a few
words there. It makes no sense.

2205
02:52:52.600 --> 02:52:58.479
Now it's up to them to make
sense of it. Camaron Spencer, does

2206
02:52:58.520 --> 02:53:03.680
the latest allegations that Vince is a
bad man or are the stories about him

2207
02:53:03.680 --> 02:53:07.479
greatly exaggerated? Vince is a piece
of shit and people need to come to

2208
02:53:07.559 --> 02:53:09.799
terms with that. He's been a
fucking scumbag for a very long time.

2209
02:53:11.479 --> 02:53:16.680
I am not surprised by any of
these stories. So is he a bad

2210
02:53:16.760 --> 02:53:22.280
man? Yes, yes he is. These are hardly the only stories about

2211
02:53:22.360 --> 02:53:28.120
him. Got a few more coming
in here. We got Passion is his

2212
02:53:28.159 --> 02:53:31.760
passion, my boy passion, fruity
Here, Cody is about to start another

2213
02:53:31.799 --> 02:53:37.239
wrestling company. I think he already
tried that once. I don't know if

2214
02:53:37.280 --> 02:53:41.040
he wants to do that again.
Year, he says, imagine if they

2215
02:53:41.079 --> 02:53:46.920
held off Austin ninety six to ninety
eight. Yeah, yo, Steve Man,

2216
02:53:46.959 --> 02:53:48.440
I know the people are popping for
you, and I know it feels

2217
02:53:48.440 --> 02:53:52.920
like it's your time to go in
there to wrestle Mania and finish your story

2218
02:53:52.959 --> 02:53:58.719
and win the championship here. But
man, you know Backlan came back,

2219
02:53:58.799 --> 02:54:01.840
and boy, you know Bob wants. You gotta put Bob in there.

2220
02:54:01.920 --> 02:54:07.159
Man, Bob's got to go for
that title. That presidential campaign didn't work

2221
02:54:07.159 --> 02:54:09.600
out too well for him, so
we're gonna bring him back and put him

2222
02:54:09.639 --> 02:54:13.680
in that match. We got.
We got Randy Savage, We're gonna sign

2223
02:54:13.760 --> 02:54:16.360
him over from WCW. We're gonna
bring him back, and we're gonna put

2224
02:54:16.360 --> 02:54:20.200
Macho Man in that main event.
You can wait until next year. He'll

2225
02:54:20.200 --> 02:54:26.479
be all right. Luise said,
have you ever visited El Salvador Viva la

2226
02:54:26.639 --> 02:54:30.840
raza salvadorna If I even said that, right, I don't know. No,

2227
02:54:30.920 --> 02:54:35.360
I have not visited El Salvador.
I just told you where I visit.

2228
02:54:35.799 --> 02:54:43.159
El Salvador was not on the list. Jake, I give it ten

2229
02:54:43.200 --> 02:54:50.200
minutes before Dwayne tears something. Well, he has uh, he's got two

2230
02:54:50.239 --> 02:54:52.760
months to get himself in tiptop.
I mean, look, the guy's gigantic.

2231
02:54:52.799 --> 02:54:56.799
It's not like he's not like a
physical specimen. But that's very different

2232
02:54:56.799 --> 02:55:01.000
than getting in the ring and doing
a full length a full length match no

2233
02:55:01.040 --> 02:55:05.559
one ever said the Rock was not
in shape. But that's very different than

2234
02:55:05.559 --> 02:55:07.120
being in the condition he needs to
be in to have a match and not

2235
02:55:07.159 --> 02:55:11.879
get hurt. And the older you
get, the harder it gets. Men,

2236
02:55:11.000 --> 02:55:16.600
He's even older than Punk. Punk
keeps tearing stuff. Rock's even older

2237
02:55:16.639 --> 02:55:20.559
than him. The older you are
and the bigger you are, like Rock,

2238
02:55:20.319 --> 02:55:26.280
I feel like just the more dangerous
it's gonna be. So either he

2239
02:55:26.360 --> 02:55:28.520
goes out there and he goes balls
to the wall because he knows maybe in

2240
02:55:28.559 --> 02:55:31.120
his mind, this might be his
final match and he wants to go out

2241
02:55:31.120 --> 02:55:35.799
there and have a great one and
he gets hurt, or to protect himself,

2242
02:55:37.680 --> 02:55:41.639
he goes out there and doesn't try
to do anything that might, you

2243
02:55:41.680 --> 02:55:45.319
know, get him hurt, and
it makes for a boring match, and

2244
02:55:45.360 --> 02:55:46.399
we get a lot of rest hols, and we get a lot of Roman

2245
02:55:46.440 --> 02:55:52.399
Reigns talking trash, doing headlocks and
stuff. I mean, take your pick,

2246
02:55:52.520 --> 02:55:58.360
right, it's gonna be one or
the other six lenses. Cody and

2247
02:55:58.440 --> 02:56:01.639
Roman at Mania is like Michael and
Billy Jean. It has to happen.

2248
02:56:03.680 --> 02:56:09.239
We got hamp with a four ninety
nine. Mania will be Rock against Roman

2249
02:56:09.280 --> 02:56:13.799
for the WWE title and Cody against
Seth Part four for the world title.

2250
02:56:13.360 --> 02:56:18.719
That's the facts of life. It
is what it is. You take the

2251
02:56:18.760 --> 02:56:20.040
good, you take the bed,
you take them both, and there you

2252
02:56:20.079 --> 02:56:26.559
have the facts of life. There
you go, Captain Solo. These people

2253
02:56:26.600 --> 02:56:31.319
who still want to defend Vince McMahon
are just not intelligent individuals. They're delusional,

2254
02:56:31.000 --> 02:56:37.200
is what they are. I think
in their mind they just feel like,

2255
02:56:39.879 --> 02:56:45.399
you know it, unless every single
story, every single minute detail of

2256
02:56:45.520 --> 02:56:50.440
the stories and the acts that are
alleged, and unless every morsel of it

2257
02:56:50.479 --> 02:56:54.200
is one hundred percent true, then
he's being wronged in some way and it

2258
02:56:54.239 --> 02:56:58.799
can't possibly be true. It's just
delusion. It's just delusion. This is

2259
02:56:58.840 --> 02:57:03.120
who he is. This is who
he has always been, going back to

2260
02:57:03.159 --> 02:57:09.120
the eighties. The man is seventy
almost eighty years old at this point,

2261
02:57:09.239 --> 02:57:15.639
right, he's seventy eight now anything, he's a change man. This is

2262
02:57:15.680 --> 02:57:20.959
a new thing. It's a powerful
person who thought that he can get away

2263
02:57:20.959 --> 02:57:24.760
with it, and he did for
a very long time. Now the chickens

2264
02:57:24.760 --> 02:57:31.600
are coming home to roost. Couldn't
happen to a nicer guy? All right?

2265
02:57:31.680 --> 02:57:37.399
Well, like I said, you
guys have so apparently the update is.

2266
02:57:37.399 --> 02:57:39.760
By the way, on that video
they posted on their YouTube channel,

2267
02:57:39.959 --> 02:57:46.680
the dislikes, I don't know what
the likes are, but the dislikes are

2268
02:57:46.959 --> 02:57:54.440
up to seventy five thousand. Wow. All right, well, you guys

2269
02:57:54.520 --> 02:57:58.680
killed it. So I'm gonna give
you some be the booker with stipulations tonight,

2270
02:57:58.760 --> 02:58:03.360
Mike gift to you. Let's do
it, ladies and gentlemen, it

2271
02:58:03.440 --> 02:58:11.360
is now time to be the booker. We're gonna do some stipulations here and

2272
02:58:11.399 --> 02:58:15.840
be the booker. It's the way
I like it. That is the way

2273
02:58:15.920 --> 02:58:18.520
that it is going to be.
Yes, indeed, I'll tell you how

2274
02:58:18.559 --> 02:58:22.680
we're gonna do this. Here's how
we're gonna do it. We're gonna kick

2275
02:58:22.719 --> 02:58:28.520
things off here, and we got
more super chats coming in. I don't

2276
02:58:28.559 --> 02:58:31.799
care how late it gets. I'm
not gonna let you guys be left hanging

2277
02:58:31.879 --> 02:58:35.120
here. I promise you I'm gonna
get to them all. Well, let's

2278
02:58:35.120 --> 02:58:37.399
go ahead and do this. Here. The book a tag team match,

2279
02:58:37.680 --> 02:58:43.120
and I'm gonna pick the first team
and then I'll throw the stipulation in and

2280
02:58:43.159 --> 02:58:48.319
then we'll pick the opponents. So
we'll do it that way. So here

2281
02:58:48.360 --> 02:58:52.559
we go seventy five Yeah, seventy
five thousand dislikes is a lot, is

2282
02:58:52.600 --> 02:58:58.360
a lot of dislikes. Wonder if
they'll turn off comments. You know what

2283
02:58:58.399 --> 02:59:01.000
I've noticed they've started doing on their
youtie channel some of the old videos they

2284
02:59:01.000 --> 02:59:07.239
have up there with Vince, they
have turned off comments. I fully expect

2285
02:59:07.280 --> 02:59:11.559
those videos to be pulled completely very
soon. I am especially shocked that the

2286
02:59:11.639 --> 02:59:15.879
video is still up from two years
ago of Stephanie McMahon coming out after the

2287
02:59:15.920 --> 02:59:18.280
first allegations came out in the Wall
Street Journal where she came out on SmackDown

2288
02:59:18.319 --> 02:59:24.079
and led the crowd and a chance
of thank you Vince. How long before

2289
02:59:24.079 --> 02:59:28.920
they pulled that one? All right, here we go. We pick the

2290
02:59:30.040 --> 02:59:35.479
real Americans. We have Cesaro and
we have Jack Swagger, who really were

2291
02:59:35.520 --> 02:59:41.200
starting to build momentum as a team
when they split them up. So the

2292
02:59:41.280 --> 02:59:46.440
real Americans. Now we picked the
match stipulation. Now let's see what kind

2293
02:59:46.479 --> 02:59:52.600
of a match the real Americans are
going to be in. Real Americans are

2294
02:59:52.639 --> 02:59:56.719
going to be in? A last
man standing match? Have we ever seen

2295
02:59:56.760 --> 03:00:01.799
a last man standing tag team match
in WWE? I can't remember there being

2296
03:00:01.799 --> 03:00:07.360
one, all right though, Now, we got to pick the opponent,

2297
03:00:09.000 --> 03:00:18.639
Real Americans, Last man Standing against
Booker T and gold Dust Love me some

2298
03:00:18.719 --> 03:00:26.079
Booker T and gold Dust very entertaining
a weird stipulation for a tag team match,

2299
03:00:26.159 --> 03:00:30.920
though, But I guess, I
guess it's doable, right, You

2300
03:00:31.000 --> 03:00:33.200
got to get both men down for
account of ten. I guess that's the

2301
03:00:33.200 --> 03:00:39.799
way it would work. All right, Women's be the booker. Let's book

2302
03:00:39.840 --> 03:00:46.280
a women's match here. Kick things
off here with Tory Wilson. How about

2303
03:00:46.319 --> 03:00:48.719
that? Tory just sat down with
Chris Chris van Vliet for an interview the

2304
03:00:48.760 --> 03:00:56.079
other day, made some headlines Tory
Wilson, and now we have to pick

2305
03:00:56.079 --> 03:01:01.959
a stipulation for Tory's match. What
kind of a match will Tory Wilson be

2306
03:01:03.040 --> 03:01:05.840
it? Tory Wilson is going to
be in a Oh Bliss fan is gonna

2307
03:01:05.840 --> 03:01:15.959
love this? Tory Wilson in a
Firefly funhouse match? All right, Well,

2308
03:01:16.040 --> 03:01:22.879
let's see Tory Wilson Firefly Funhouse.
Oh boy, we landed on another

2309
03:01:22.920 --> 03:01:31.719
step. Ronda Rousey wants a stipulation
added right now or else, or else

2310
03:01:31.840 --> 03:01:35.760
She's gonna jump back on social media
and start shooting on other executives in the

2311
03:01:35.760 --> 03:01:39.000
company, so you better listen to
her. So that means we got to

2312
03:01:39.000 --> 03:01:43.479
pick a new stipulation. That's what
that means, So out with the Firefly

2313
03:01:43.680 --> 03:01:52.000
Funhouse. Goodbye Firefly Funhouse. Instead
it will be a blindfold match. I'm

2314
03:01:52.040 --> 03:01:56.959
not sure we just improve things much, but all right, it's gonna be

2315
03:01:56.000 --> 03:02:07.680
a blindfold match. Torri Wilson against
Maria Kanellis in a blindfold match. That

2316
03:02:09.200 --> 03:02:18.600
sounds terrible. That is not going
to be a very good match. And

2317
03:02:18.680 --> 03:02:22.680
now we come to the main event. This right here is de cou des

2318
03:02:22.760 --> 03:02:28.959
grass. This is what we have
been building to all night long. Maybe

2319
03:02:28.000 --> 03:02:31.840
if we land on Rock and Roman
here, we could just call it a

2320
03:02:31.920 --> 03:02:33.760
day, right, since we got
it and be the book, or we

2321
03:02:33.760 --> 03:02:37.920
don't need it. At WrestleMania,
we begin with, Uh, look at

2322
03:02:37.959 --> 03:02:46.760
this guy, Big Papa Pump,
Scott Steiner. The man's pecks have pecks.

2323
03:02:46.760 --> 03:02:54.520
The man's biceps have other muscles trapped
within them. This is not a

2324
03:02:54.559 --> 03:02:58.399
normal physique. But he's not a
normal man though, right he used to

2325
03:02:58.399 --> 03:03:03.879
say he's not a normal human being. Scott Steiner is gonna be in a

2326
03:03:03.959 --> 03:03:11.239
match. What kind of match to
find out? Ah, what kind of

2327
03:03:11.280 --> 03:03:18.200
match. An inferno match, an
inferno match. Scott Steiner in an inferno

2328
03:03:18.239 --> 03:03:26.520
match. That sounds kind of dangerous. This is this is like something out

2329
03:03:26.520 --> 03:03:31.200
of like a fucking video game.
That's what this is, all right,

2330
03:03:31.440 --> 03:03:37.280
Scott Steiner in a in an inferno
match. Let's get a drum roll.

2331
03:03:39.680 --> 03:03:58.159
Yea. His opponent will be David
Arquette, positively awful. That's what we

2332
03:03:58.280 --> 03:04:03.799
built. Blt way, no,
ignore that. Ignore that. That does

2333
03:04:03.840 --> 03:04:09.799
not get the bell. I retract
that bell. That is a terrible main

2334
03:04:09.840 --> 03:04:18.280
event and it has ruined be the
booker for tonight. So excited, I

2335
03:04:18.319 --> 03:04:20.399
hit the button. I gave it
the bell. I retract that bell.

2336
03:04:22.000 --> 03:04:28.159
That does not count. All right, we got a bunch of final superchats

2337
03:04:28.200 --> 03:04:33.719
here to get through, so let's
go ahead and do it. QB says,

2338
03:04:33.879 --> 03:04:35.440
what inning are we in now?
Oh yeah, Paul Hayman. What

2339
03:04:35.440 --> 03:04:37.879
did Paul Hayman say a few months
ago? We're only in the third inning

2340
03:04:39.760 --> 03:04:43.719
of this story. I guess now
we're in the fourth inning. We're in

2341
03:04:43.719 --> 03:04:46.159
the fourth We got we got five
more innings to go and then we're going

2342
03:04:46.239 --> 03:04:52.959
to hit extra innings. Yuri Cody
pinning Roman for the title is in a

2343
03:04:52.959 --> 03:04:58.399
way similar to Austin fucking vinceover.
At some point the face has got to

2344
03:04:58.479 --> 03:05:03.120
win. I don't know. Some
of the people here in this chat are

2345
03:05:03.159 --> 03:05:09.319
already turning him here, Ritchie.
I always thought that the Vince swamping Vince

2346
03:05:09.600 --> 03:05:18.319
swamping lounge with Trish and Sable was
unnecessary, but now I know why swamp

2347
03:05:18.600 --> 03:05:26.520
swamping lounge. That's some kind of
a club. Cameron Spencer, what are

2348
03:05:26.559 --> 03:05:33.000
your thoughts on people defending Vince.
I don't think very highly of them.

2349
03:05:33.079 --> 03:05:37.239
Let's leave it at that. Colin
c. Jacob fought To's free agent as

2350
03:05:37.239 --> 03:05:43.079
of yesterday, do you think he's
WWE bound possibly a WrestleMania appearance. I

2351
03:05:43.120 --> 03:05:48.200
think that he should be getting a
lot of interest from multiple promotions. I

2352
03:05:48.239 --> 03:05:50.600
don't know where he's going to land. It should be ww A, but

2353
03:05:50.680 --> 03:05:56.280
I don't know where he's going to
land. Passion fruity yogurt. Austin always

2354
03:05:56.280 --> 03:06:01.360
said, be yourself, but turn
it up to ten. Vince six really

2355
03:06:01.399 --> 03:06:07.040
makes sense now. There were a
lot of weird segments involving him. I

2356
03:06:07.040 --> 03:06:09.879
mean it was weird at the time, but you look back on it now

2357
03:06:11.239 --> 03:06:16.200
from that SmackDown period, really,
from like three onward. I mean,

2358
03:06:16.200 --> 03:06:20.799
there was some disturbing shit on those
shows involving him, and you kind of

2359
03:06:20.879 --> 03:06:24.280
chalk it up too well, you
know, he's just hamming it up for

2360
03:06:24.319 --> 03:06:30.440
the performance. But no, he's
just fucked up. That's what it was.

2361
03:06:31.159 --> 03:06:35.520
Arabian Night about to get a Wrestle
Media Maine event with Bear Chinholes,

2362
03:06:37.639 --> 03:06:43.200
Richie Bill Cosby, Vince McMahon.
Harvey Dent said it right in the Dark

2363
03:06:43.360 --> 03:06:46.200
Night, you know the quote,
Yes I do, Yes, I do.

2364
03:06:46.280 --> 03:06:52.239
Although I don't know that Vince was
ever really the hero. Some people

2365
03:06:52.360 --> 03:06:58.319
like to pretend that he was.
But I've told some stories on This Week

2366
03:06:58.360 --> 03:07:03.079
in History over the years like he
was never really the hero. There are

2367
03:07:03.120 --> 03:07:07.680
people who deserve the moniker of hero
in this world. Vince McMahon is not

2368
03:07:07.719 --> 03:07:13.159
one of them. Will Chisholm.
The sad part is that that match would

2369
03:07:13.200 --> 03:07:20.520
happen in the last days of WCW
of the Scott Steiner Inferno match eight nine

2370
03:07:20.559 --> 03:07:24.479
tech. This can't be it right. There must be a twist here,

2371
03:07:24.040 --> 03:07:33.280
I hope, So, I hope
so Yurie with a little lighthearted kill turkey

2372
03:07:33.399 --> 03:07:37.120
or ham you telling me which one
I want to eat or which one I

2373
03:07:37.159 --> 03:07:41.639
want to kill. I like both. I like turkey and ham, so

2374
03:07:41.680 --> 03:07:45.000
give me both. I'll have a
turkey and ham sandwich. How about that.

2375
03:07:45.319 --> 03:07:48.440
I've actually had turkey and ham from
subway before, so I will kill

2376
03:07:48.479 --> 03:07:54.479
both and eat both. Matt Setzer, thank you for the ten spot here

2377
03:07:54.520 --> 03:07:58.479
from Matt. I skipped out on
SmackDown tonight and have come to find out

2378
03:07:58.479 --> 03:08:01.760
that I have gone back in time
to WrestleMania nine. Maybe there was something

2379
03:08:01.799 --> 03:08:05.920
I put in my cereal that made
me hallucinate. Maybe you had one of

2380
03:08:05.920 --> 03:08:11.319
those woo energies with the with the
mushrooms and the courticeps. That's what it

2381
03:08:11.399 --> 03:08:15.000
was. The cordyceps has got to
your brain. I told you people,

2382
03:08:15.920 --> 03:08:22.239
I told you about the cordyceps.
Oh man, Well, an amazing night

2383
03:08:22.639 --> 03:08:26.719
and unfortunately not for all the right
reasons. But you guys killed it here

2384
03:08:28.879 --> 03:08:31.719
and bliss Fan, I was not
aware of that. My condolences. Bliss

2385
03:08:31.719 --> 03:08:37.760
Fan lost his dog yesterday. But
what was the dog's name? And how

2386
03:08:37.799 --> 03:08:41.680
old was the dog? But I'm
very sad to hear that losing a pet

2387
03:08:41.760 --> 03:08:48.479
is the worst. It sucks.
I've been through it twice. My pet

2388
03:08:48.559 --> 03:08:56.879
days are over. But I'm very
sorry to hear that. Yes, yes,

2389
03:08:56.920 --> 03:09:01.760
I am aware. That's why I
mentioned Cordyceps is the the mushroom from

2390
03:09:01.799 --> 03:09:05.600
the last of us. That's why
you won't see me drinking any of that

2391
03:09:05.639 --> 03:09:09.760
WU energy. Do I think Vince
McMahon is really gone this time? He

2392
03:09:09.879 --> 03:09:15.440
is gone, gn e gone.
He is not coming back, not now,

2393
03:09:15.520 --> 03:09:18.639
not ever. He's done. His
goose is cooked, he's toxic,

2394
03:09:20.159 --> 03:09:28.319
he's radioactive. He's done here.
He says, Vince never was a hero,

2395
03:09:28.760 --> 03:09:33.680
just a villain using our love to
promote his pockets. He did a

2396
03:09:33.760 --> 03:09:39.840
very good job of it. And
Luis scott Steiner against David Arquette in an

2397
03:09:39.879 --> 03:09:50.639
inferno match is better. Luis,
Thank you, Louis, Alex Hernandez keep

2398
03:09:50.719 --> 03:09:58.840
and erase Benoit and Vince. I
think they erase themselves. Episode A forty

2399
03:09:58.879 --> 03:10:03.559
seven of the podcast on Sunday is
going to be one not to be missed.

2400
03:10:03.000 --> 03:10:07.399
There is a lot to talk about. Obviously, we're gonna get into

2401
03:10:07.440 --> 03:10:13.040
all the new Vince details that came
out this week. I will address some

2402
03:10:13.040 --> 03:10:16.600
stuff I did not have the chance
to address last week because I didn't do

2403
03:10:16.280 --> 03:10:20.280
a regular Sunday show. I did
other bonus shows I didn't do a show

2404
03:10:20.319 --> 03:10:22.399
on Sunday, though, so we'll
address all that stuff. We'll talk more

2405
03:10:22.440 --> 03:10:28.399
about this if we get more information
that comes in from some reliable sources about

2406
03:10:28.879 --> 03:10:31.719
the how and when this whole WrestleMania
main event plan came to base, we'll

2407
03:10:31.719 --> 03:10:35.479
talk more about that. We'll talk
about Jacob Batu, We'll talk about the

2408
03:10:35.559 --> 03:10:41.000
aw rankings, which I predicted would
probably be discarded within six months because they

2409
03:10:41.000 --> 03:10:46.159
were ridiculous and I've already been proven
right. So we'll talk about that as

2410
03:10:46.200 --> 03:10:50.239
well. And if you missed it, I should mention this. If you

2411
03:10:50.280 --> 03:10:54.399
missed it, it is now up
for everybody my recap of the Undertaker one

2412
03:10:54.520 --> 03:10:58.360
dead Man show from Clearwater, Florida. It was part of Royal Rumble weekend

2413
03:10:58.399 --> 03:11:01.639
last Sunday. I went to the
show. I was sitting there in the

2414
03:11:01.639 --> 03:11:07.120
fourth row as a Taker told stories
and he brought a former WWE star on

2415
03:11:07.319 --> 03:11:13.399
stage with him. So, if
you missed the review went up for channel

2416
03:11:13.399 --> 03:11:16.639
members earlier this week, and you
can now go check it out on the

2417
03:11:16.719 --> 03:11:22.920
channel. Make sure you don't miss
that twenty minutes. It's an easy listen.

2418
03:11:26.120 --> 03:11:31.200
Richie says, I always thought that
the swamping I think he means swapping

2419
03:11:31.319 --> 03:11:39.799
tongue, but the way he spelled
it swamping town brother, Brother, you're

2420
03:11:39.879 --> 03:11:43.879
killing me here. Swapping tongue is
what he meant with Trici and sable was

2421
03:11:43.959 --> 03:11:46.399
unnecessary, even if it was a
story. But now I know why.

2422
03:11:46.520 --> 03:11:48.920
Yeah, of course, because he
could do it, because he could get

2423
03:11:48.959 --> 03:11:52.799
away with it. He made out
with half the locker room on television,

2424
03:11:54.520 --> 03:11:58.799
Kraflow, Is there a playlist of
the emergency sound offs? No, there

2425
03:11:58.879 --> 03:12:03.879
was no playlist for the Urgency soundoffs. There's no playlist, but there are

2426
03:12:05.120 --> 03:12:07.079
a bunch of playlists here on the
channel for other things. There's playlists for

2427
03:12:07.200 --> 03:12:11.840
all of this Week in History segments, there's playlists for all of my Dark

2428
03:12:11.879 --> 03:12:16.120
Side of the Ring reviews, and
there is a playlist for SoundOff gamer other

2429
03:12:16.280 --> 03:12:20.520
top ten countdowns I've done. Go
to the playlist. Actually, you'll find

2430
03:12:20.520 --> 03:12:24.159
some good ones there. I try
to organize as many of them as I

2431
03:12:24.239 --> 03:12:28.520
can. Go ahead and hit that
thumbs up on the way out. Maybe

2432
03:12:28.520 --> 03:12:31.799
we'll end up with more likes than
the video of the WWE put up on

2433
03:12:31.799 --> 03:12:35.079
their YouTube channel. But I've gone
three hours and twenty minutes. I've taken

2434
03:12:35.159 --> 03:12:37.680
up way too much of your time, so be well, stay safe,

2435
03:12:37.719 --> 03:12:41.200
have yourselves a great weekend. I
got a lot of work to do tomorrow

2436
03:12:41.639 --> 03:12:45.680
and a big, big podcast coming
up on Sunday. Don't miss it episode

2437
03:12:45.680 --> 03:12:46.920
eight forty seven. Until then,
take care of guys.
