1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:07,040 Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to the Gimmick, the Bonus episode 2 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,279 this month whatever it might be a couple of episodees because wrestling is just hot 3 00:00:10,359 --> 00:00:13,199 right now. There's lots to talk about. But luckily, you know, 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,760 I'm trussed now. I'm joined by the incomparable David. David, how are 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,120 you doing today? I'm good, I'm awake these this show ended earlier than 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,519 I thought, so I am happy about it. Yes, So we're gonna 7 00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:30,760 That's all we're talking about right now is just WrestleMania. It won't blow through, 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,759 but we'll you know, some if there's something that doesn't need to be 9 00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:37,000 talked about, like something like the Snoop Dogg stuff, probably skip over, 10 00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:42,640 you know. But you know, luckily, man, this this is a 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,079 fun one. All the links, everything you know that's down below, you 12 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,679 know what to do there. We're gonna go through this. But there's been 13 00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:50,799 so many times I feel like, especially if trust told you when I did 14 00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:54,399 wrestling, things there are always I always tried to time them with pay per 15 00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:56,960 views, but then the times where they are bonus, where I went to 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,560 the site, it's always like bad news, right, And obviously this was 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,399 gonna happen because wrestle MANI everything like that. But it feels so good to 18 00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:07,480 come on the air and be talking about just being happy and being happy with 19 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:11,239 the WW Probably. Now I'm not saying over the years you couldn't have been. 20 00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:14,200 I'm out saying that has been great matches or moments, but this is 21 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,959 like as bad, like I would say, it's funny it happens in ten 22 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,799 years. The last time probably was Daniel Bryan. The time before that was 23 00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:23,840 the ending of twenty. Like there's just these moments in time where you go, 24 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,400 man, is ever going to reach that height again? And what's nice 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,920 about this moment, especially which we'll get into because we talked about last night, 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,640 like new era everything like that, it's nice that this doesn't feel like 27 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,040 this is probably it. You know, when we got those good moments before, 28 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,680 it'd be like, oh, well, Vince was into this this time, 29 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,280 this month, this day, and then here we go, Like when 30 00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:47,640 Daniel Brian won, he was never really the guy, right, even when 31 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,280 Ben won, Eddie won, they got their titles, but they weren't the 32 00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:53,359 guys went back to Tripleacher. They were getting ready for Batista or seeing it 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,400 right, Like there's always like they give us that nice moment of like, 34 00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:00,560 oh yeah, you wrestling little marks, you can have your your guy you 35 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:02,000 like, and then we're gonna go there. We're gonna get to the big 36 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,840 guy or big gal who maybe But this time and this is why I tweet 37 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,560 a little bit of ago, because yes, Cody, he grew up in 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,159 the WW system everything like that. But then he left and everyone knows the 39 00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:17,400 story. But if you look at all the faces between Hogan, Seen Stone, 40 00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:22,120 Cold Rock Roman, they all are themselves. Of course, they all 41 00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:25,560 bring things to the character, but they are still wwe made right. It's 42 00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:30,560 like a complete partnership where like Bruce Pittchard said years ago and even Vince, 43 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:34,879 they said, we want to buy the American Nightmare product. And for Cody, 44 00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,439 a guy who built the American Nightmare went to AW like you and I 45 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,120 lived through the WCW era, how many times would it be? Well, 46 00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:44,039 he's a WCW guy, so we can't like give him the full ball, 47 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,879 right, But tonight and again it is an New America's replacing thing. But 48 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:52,439 Cody Rhodes has finished the story. He won the WW Championship in a crazy 49 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,360 which we're gonna get too. But David, what are your initial thoughts on 50 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,599 It's like I'd say, I guess a two year journey, but it's much. 51 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,599 It's much if you Andyscer, this feels like a whenever he stepped foot 52 00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:04,800 in the ring, that's when that journey started. Really, I don't know 53 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,400 how long it was, sixteen years ago, whatever, but it's been decades 54 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:10,000 of a journey. Even if you want to talk about back to Dusty and 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,919 we're finally here, what was like? What was that like for you? 56 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,080 It? It was great. I mean he left WW in May of twenty 57 00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:24,599 sixteen and has taken us on a ride since. Uh. Changed the business 58 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:30,759 too, not just like oh just his crucify literally changed business with other people, 59 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:35,360 you know. Yeah, And it's very rare to see someone who leaves 60 00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,360 makes a name for themselves, says I'm going to show you that I'm worthy 61 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:45,919 of this, goes on an all out war, comes back and gets pushed 62 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,039 to this pedestal consistently not here, here's your moment. All right, shut 63 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,400 up, we gave you your guy, Now leave us alone so we can 64 00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:58,439 get back to our guy. This is consistently giving us what we want. 65 00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,360 Yeah, yeah, it was. It was just nice because I will give 66 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,680 them kudos. They multiple times. I still always thought Cody was gonna win. 67 00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:12,479 But Cody was pulling out some like old school Adjude or Rock shoulder finishers, 68 00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,080 because Rock used to be the master at If you go back watch Rust 69 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,560 when seventeen, his shoulder over his auses so many times, He's so good 70 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,240 at Oh just up. At last second, Cody hit me with a couple 71 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,319 of os. I was like, oh my god. And you never know, 72 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:26,199 right, because like there's been some even last year, and I know 73 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,399 now people might say like, oh, it's good he didn't win last year. 74 00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:31,519 I think now in retrospect I can say that. But at the same 75 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,199 time, if Vince or other creative people was here, we don't know if 76 00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:38,759 this would have happened, right. We were very lucky that a lot of 77 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,959 things happened. Obviously not for anything that the guy had done that shouldn't have 78 00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:44,839 happened that way. But I mean, like, in this stage, I 79 00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:48,399 feel like you could equate to this seeing at the end you got everyone together 80 00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:51,519 and then you're seeing like triprch and code together. This is something we've talked 81 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,120 about for years. This is something like once the NXT Black and Gold era 82 00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:59,240 starts like, man, I can't wait till one day this could happen. 83 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,360 And there's multile time where it looked like Triple Ah might not even be creative 84 00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:04,360 or up top right. So it's just like, it's so great to see 85 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,399 this, and this was the stamping of Okay, it is a new era 86 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,120 now because if Roma's just won, I see the appeal, the bloodline is 87 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,959 hot, Roman's hot, you can break Hogan's record, you can do all 88 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,519 this stuff. But then it's just kind of okay, it's same old, 89 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,800 same old, and then who's the next guy? And then there's not right. 90 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,439 So this was a full on like it can't be takeaway, even not 91 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,680 that I would want this. I don't need to coy lose tomorrow, but 92 00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:30,040 even if not, it can't be taken away. And I don't with the 93 00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:34,160 presentation they gave him, it does not feel like the Daniel Bryan's or the 94 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:35,920 one of us like we were just talking about where it's like, Okay, 95 00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:39,319 you got your moment, be happy. Now we're gonna get back to track, 96 00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:42,959 like okay, here you go. Uh you know, I'm not gonna 97 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,839 say die Jack, but someone from NXT, like this is the first time 98 00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:50,199 from the PC, But yeah, it was. It was Bravo all the 99 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,160 way around. And what I said to Emily two is I love that they 100 00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:59,000 were off like off air but on air for a long time. So many 101 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,439 times we get to see that maybe from some shitty iPhone footage or something like 102 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,480 that, they just stuck with it. It was just it. Honestly, 103 00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:10,519 it was pretty much perfect. There's only one thing that wasn't perfect for me, 104 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,079 but that's not even anything to do with the match. It's just who 105 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,560 they could get. And I guess someone couldn't show up because I thought there 106 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,319 was a clear moment that was like, oh, you're the backup legend. 107 00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:20,600 But that's okay. It was still cool, but it was. It's definitely 108 00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:25,319 I don't know match wise, but as far as important or just well done 109 00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:28,079 big time made events, it's going to go down as something really special and 110 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,240 they had to deliver. It's the rest of my forty right. If if 111 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,959 they would have watched this the whole new aeroslogan, they would mean really nothing, 112 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,519 you know. And it takes me back to last year again. It 113 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:40,560 sucked when you heard it, but Triple Ah said last year and he's been 114 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,480 saying since trust the process, trust the process, and again as the Cody 115 00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:47,079 fan, that was hard to digest. But man, did they deliver. 116 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,720 And that's a tough thing, right because we've been told that before, the 117 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,279 classic saying of let it play out, and as ww fans, we have 118 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,199 let it play out before and it goes really bad, you know, it 119 00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:00,079 plays out in the wrong way. So it takes a lot for That's why 120 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,920 everybody's like, oh, don't worry, and even this, Ye're like, 121 00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:05,040 look at what happened two months ago. This was not the plan, right, 122 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,720 This was probably the plan for Wrestling forty one, but two months ago 123 00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:13,160 the plan was Rock and Roman WrestleMania. So that's where it's like, even 124 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,480 in trusting the process, there was still never a for sure this was gonna 125 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,480 happen. And I think it did end up being the best route with the 126 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,519 Final Boss and Roman and the bloodline. Like people were saying it was gonna 127 00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:27,519 happen, and they did make this Avengers endgame. That's what this was. 128 00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:30,800 It was Avengers endgame, a bunch of people coming out, But I also 129 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,800 appreciated it. I'd have to look at when Jimmy came in, but it 130 00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:38,759 felt like am I wrong in saying it was probably about fifteen minutes before interference. 131 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,680 It's I felt like they got a good amount of time before. They 132 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:44,360 got a good amount of time, and that that was in my notes for 133 00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:47,040 them matches. They got a good amount of time, and I was I'm 134 00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:50,720 very happy that they got a good amount of time to just have a peer, 135 00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:56,199 back and forth wrestling match before everything came in. It wasn't just the 136 00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:00,720 hole he's battling from the start, no, it they had a peer before 137 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,199 everything started happening, and then it all happened in succession, so it wasn't 138 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,279 a rest period, more pro rest period. They were like, look, 139 00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:11,759 we gave you your match, now we're giving you your gimmick. Then they 140 00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:15,560 ended back on the match because I was worried when they started pulling the Kindo 141 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,079 six and tables right away. I was like, because they did a maybe 142 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,040 two to three minutes of some wrestling, I'm not counting the aura where they 143 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,240 stand around and stare. That's of course befart of the match, but that's 144 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,000 something else. But they went to the weapons quick, and I was like, 145 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,720 oh, like I get it, because the argument could be okay. 146 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,200 Last year was like the Wrestling Classic match and this year is gonna be the 147 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,480 whole brawl and everything. But I was glad, like great heel heat Roman 148 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:41,039 puts the table back. They only used the kindo che stick from the cheap 149 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:41,879 But I was worried. It's like, oh, I don't want to get 150 00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:46,519 into weapon warfare and the interferences right away because I think the building up to 151 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,000 it work because it build up to in a way where I think we all 152 00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,200 knew people were coming out, but it's almost like the crowd forgot about that 153 00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:56,159 right they got sewn in the match, and then once people started coming out, 154 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,799 it was like, oh shit, we're about to get some really good 155 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:01,000 stuff coming right now, you know. Yeah. And the fact that they 156 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:05,480 didn't go they didn't go all out with it. At first you had Jimmy, 157 00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:09,519 and you had Jane, you had Solo. That that was the start, 158 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,840 and then everything else progressively made sense. So having Sena come after Solo 159 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,759 and having Rock come after Sena. Uh, Seth coming out with the shield 160 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:22,279 thing now broken, Seth. That was so great. He gets up there, 161 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:28,159 one shot done. I wonder so much after even while it coming with 162 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,000 someone he was like, oh my god, I wonder if Seth is legitimately 163 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,279 injured, and so they had to kind of change what he did so that 164 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,879 it was just to come out and get the Superman punch because you have poor 165 00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:41,360 Seth and Kayo was helping him in the ring. During the celebration, I 166 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:43,879 was like, oh man, poor Seth. But yeah, Seth get his 167 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,879 and then take her out of the backup superstar that they had to go right, 168 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,519 Yeah, Austin hasn't made it to the venue yet. They went up 169 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,000 to the suits and got take her like we needed to run down here, 170 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,320 bro, which was smart because I didn't think we were going to to get 171 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,960 Taker because he was up there and no Taker was there. And there were 172 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,679 some times like, Okay, he's up there, that's not gonna happen. 173 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,960 And it's weird because even that tweet that Triple H scent was like at three 174 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,519 sixteen, So there was like a bunch of stuff that I and it sucks 175 00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,320 that. At the end of the day, I'm definitely not gonna complain because 176 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,600 it's all fine. And the way I had canon is everybody would always refer 177 00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:22,639 to Undertaker as the judge of the locker room, right, like the locker 178 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,159 room leader. So I'm fine with head Kenny en Of he saw this as 179 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,559 the guy of the old there who was the leader. He's like, that 180 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,320 is bullshit. I gotta step in. So that's why I'm gonna head canon. 181 00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:35,480 I'm sure they might even do that because he was always the guy. 182 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,759 If you look back, they'd always say if you had a problem, you 183 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:41,080 went to Undertaker and he would settle with the talent whatever. He was the 184 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:46,240 guy that threatens Shawn Michael's life that if he didn't do business at wrestling with 185 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,559 awesome tape up. That's like, So that's how for a long term fan, 186 00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:54,440 I can head canon. Go, Okay, he's the he's the legendary, 187 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,039 the old school leader saying no enough is enough. But that was definitely 188 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,879 awesome spot. That was definitely the way they set it up from like you 189 00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:05,919 said, Jimmy to Jay j to solo solo to Scena rock, which, 190 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,240 like, I loved the way they did it because I don't know why I 191 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,240 didn't think about that, but I love that they had it. It was 192 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,159 rock and seen a third in a lifetime. We got that stare down, 193 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,559 they redid the the Aura standoff and everything. I didn't think but I just 194 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,399 thought, oh, it's just give me a Smaus with everybody interfering, but 195 00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:26,919 no, I love that an Undertaker, it's out of nowhere. I wish 196 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,679 the glass break would happen because that really would have been full circle on the 197 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,720 bloodline stuff, because it's like the first enemy the Rock really made is coming 198 00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,600 back. But it's okay because it's like people still fucking love Undertaker. Right 199 00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:41,399 My kids were going nuts for it, so it was it was good and 200 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:43,759 then my I don't know what my favorite part is but as of right now, 201 00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:46,639 which is crazy because I'm a Cody guy. He's the guy litergimly got 202 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,200 me watching WW I'm gonna stick to my word now they knighted in him. 203 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,039 I'm back full time. I'm gonna be watching the product full time. I'm 204 00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:56,639 gonna learn. I like, even tonight, I was like, that's Bailey's 205 00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:00,440 finish. I didn't even know if Bailey's finish was this like whatever weird head 206 00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:03,440 stomped smash thing, which you'll get into. What is it called. It's 207 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:11,559 like the ro It's like, yeah, stupid, it's weird. But that's 208 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,559 where for me, and that's why it is important because I stopped. I'd 209 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,120 watch peerter views. Of course I watched Mania, but I stopped watching W 210 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,519 full time until Cody came back, and even then I wasn't full time full 211 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:24,919 time because there is some still questionable booking going on. But what is another 212 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:28,919 just great full circle moment everything from Seth and Roman tagging last night the shield 213 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,200 and Seth came on the shield gear. But man, that's what for me 214 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:37,039 is the best part of the match is what costs Roman reigns. He finally 215 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,279 wanted to fucking get back at Seth, rawl and set They had this moment 216 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,000 where everything's gone down. Seth got Superman punched, He's loopy, Cody's on 217 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,200 one side holding the rope, Seth's on another side holding the ropes. Roman 218 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,200 has a chair and he's looking at Cody. Then he sees set and it's 219 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,279 that replaying of the shield where Seth hit Roman. And that was such a 220 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,480 great moment because in that back then everyone thought it was gonna be Ambrose, 221 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,320 that was gonna turn right. No one thought Seth. So this great full 222 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,000 circle of Roman finally gets his come up and he finally gets a big fe 223 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,159 to Seth rawlins, but it caught like his ego cost him the title, 224 00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,639 which it fits with the tribal chief head of the table guy right, because 225 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360 he thinks he could do both. He think he can get back at Seth 226 00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:20,720 and be Cody. He had to choose, and he chose wrong, and 227 00:13:20,759 --> 00:13:22,840 it was it was so good. And then the last what was it, 228 00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:28,720 the last Crossroads when Cody's just shaking him that full circle moment was just that 229 00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:33,559 cinema that Yeah, to be in the arena as he stood up for that 230 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,480 third one and he's given the shake and you can just tell he is fired 231 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,279 up, he knows what's coming next. The arena is on its feet. 232 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,519 That was just that was a perfect way to end it. Yeah, it 233 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,919 was. It was phenomenal, great match, great story, great cameo, 234 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,639 it was everything. That is the type of match that to me with a 235 00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:58,879 lot of casuals that do tune for WrestleMania, just the whole weekend in general. 236 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:01,000 But that's why you want I'm not saying the bad guy can never win 237 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:05,879 at WrestleMania. I think there was a time where we had three WrestleManias in 238 00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:07,679 a row. I guess they didn't have with Brock, but it was years 239 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,039 of a row of just Bloodline interferes, Lol, Roman wins, right, 240 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,519 it was I think that was some of the thing that was getting on people's 241 00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:16,639 nerves. It's not that Rome was winning, it was just always the same 242 00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:20,080 finish of it was either a superkick or a spike into a spear and then 243 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,440 it was over. They were like even this last year, that's all. 244 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,559 It was Roman's defenses, with with with Jay, with La Knight, with 245 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,519 the Rumble, it was all of them were interference. And that's what was 246 00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:33,320 weird because when they first started with Roman, if anyone doesn't remember, he 247 00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:37,639 beat Bronze, Stroman and Bray like he did kind of cheat a little, 248 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:39,600 but still he just kind of beat them up with a chair. He had 249 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,919 many the defenses where he didn't cheat, and then there was like a pivot 250 00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:46,480 halfway through the Bloodline story where he's like a he's a heeled chant, like 251 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:50,200 he's a real heel champion where he has to cheat take corners and stuff. 252 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,360 So I think that's where it came down. But even they did the whole 253 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,360 they did the solo spike, Cody kicked out. They did the solo spike 254 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,759 into a spear and he kicked out, So I was, yeah, to 255 00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:03,639 me, this is the type of matchine ending for a resume that brings on 256 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:05,039 new people that go, oh, this is something I want to watch. 257 00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:09,000 This is something I want to see. And they've been very smart as I'm 258 00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,480 shared that sure in the discord that it says the story continues, because that 259 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,840 is the thing, right, there's oh we wood you fish a story, 260 00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:16,720 what do you do? It's just like that. Now it's like one we've 261 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,480 talked about last night. There's so much you can do. But that's smart 262 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,960 for them to embed that in of like, oh, don't go away, 263 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000 because now it's like, there's got to be more. I imagine we might 264 00:15:26,039 --> 00:15:30,039 probably get a Codin Cody Roman rematch. I've been thinking SummerSlam. I don't 265 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,879 know if you agree with that. Do you think that's what they're going to 266 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:33,440 do the third or you think they'll leave it as it is with this. 267 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,120 I think that they're going to leave it alone for a while. I think 268 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:43,600 that Roman's probably going to take some time and they are going to let some 269 00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:46,879 other members of the bloodline kind of step up, and then Roman's going to 270 00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,200 come back and be a part of this. But I think they're going to 271 00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:54,759 give it some time. I don't think they're going to go straight to it 272 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:58,360 because it will be kind of hard after this long rain to get straight back 273 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:02,320 into it. But at least if they let it breede for a little bit, 274 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,120 let him have some other challengers, they may do that Summer Slam. 275 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,360 But I have a feeling they wait just a little bit longer. I could 276 00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:11,639 see more of Survivor series. Yeah, November. Yeah, that could be 277 00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,600 a bit longer. That could make sense, because what is that That's May 278 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600 June July they add it is only four months. I think two. If 279 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,559 this wasn't if it didn't come off as like as epic as it did, 280 00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:25,320 I think then I was more in that mindset. But with the ending, 281 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,799 it is almost a match to where if they said we're never gonna do Cody 282 00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:30,080 and Roman again, I'd be fine at that too. It's like this is 283 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,720 a good place to leave it, you know, like, don't do because 284 00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:34,679 now like the first because I just think now the third one would just be 285 00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:37,399 Cody winning, right, And I don't know what the drama would be there. 286 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,120 I feel it could be bloodline drama, but maybe against Roman. I 287 00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:44,159 don't know. So I'm kind of le fine if they leave it as you 288 00:16:44,159 --> 00:16:47,360 know, Cody or Roman one last year, Cody one this year, they 289 00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:51,039 move on. We did hear from at least Fightful. We don't know more, 290 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,720 but apparently Jacob Foughtwo has signed. So that's what I was gonna ask 291 00:16:53,799 --> 00:16:57,159 you. Now that we got this, we didn't get any which I'm very 292 00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:02,080 happy with. No double agent raw. I do think that was on the 293 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,440 board at one time, but I think they saw how good the reception and 294 00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,920 Rock was, which also my only other complaint for the When the Rock came 295 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,160 out, he's swearing, Just let him swear. You're on a pl who 296 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,079 cares? At this point? At one point there was like ten seconds it 297 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,279 was just dead air. My kids kept asking, oh why, what what's 298 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,960 going on? Like just let it go? Like at that point, it's 299 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,319 like it's it's the finale. Who cares? He swore last night? Just 300 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,720 let it happen. Now, if this is the replays, then okay, 301 00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:30,240 but it's the plis. Just let it happen. That's like when I was 302 00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:33,039 a kid. You know, when you'd watch Stone Cold come out on the 303 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:40,720 USA Network that they would bleep him and they would try to blow the finger 304 00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:44,880 sometimes. Yeah, when you watch the pay per view, you saw it 305 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,480 all. Just let it happen. Yeah, and I get it that it's 306 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,079 on Peacock and everything, but I yeah, I just think that they should 307 00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:55,279 have and again minor complaint. I'm not sure maybe on the actual replay if 308 00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:56,680 they might kind of take that out or edit it out. But and I 309 00:17:56,759 --> 00:18:02,359 do have the scrum. I'm not watching, but I have like no ovocators, 310 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,559 so anything big gets talked about. But Cody just took the panel and 311 00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:08,440 he's got his title. Man, he looked good. The entrances were both 312 00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:15,319 just They had the Jews, Cody looking like this weird cross of Triple H 313 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,440 and I don't know the Statue of Liberty. I liked it though it was 314 00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:22,720 great. We got the Brandy appearance. Also, another person didn't get involved 315 00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:26,680 match, and that there's maybe another surprise too. This whole weekend, we 316 00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:30,240 never got Mama Rode slapping the rock. I thought that was a shoein to 317 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:37,880 happen me too. I am shocked that Mama Roads didn't get physically involved, 318 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,480 especially after the whole thing about her jumping the guardrail and slap the security guard 319 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,759 and everything like that. I would have assumed she would have at least got 320 00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:51,000 a slap in or something physical on somebody. In the fact that she didn't, 321 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,400 I don't know maybe that was her choice or not, but it just 322 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:59,160 seemed like a missed opportunity. So this is where I'm gonna pitch you. 323 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,200 Then if we don't get because I know he's gonna go off film movie, 324 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,920 But if we don't get Roman Cody, do you think it's more likely we 325 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:11,319 get Cody and Rock? And I wonder in that scenario if that's a post 326 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,039 Roman's out of the bloodline, and man, wouldn't that be a fun full 327 00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:18,839 circle moment If the Rock is doing what Roman's doing, he's cheating about to 328 00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:21,559 win beat Cody and Rome. And that's because I was just thinking where you 329 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:25,039 could get the Muma Roads slap, like maybe they're saving it for Cody versus 330 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,880 Rock one on one. You could have that moment there because I feel like 331 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,480 they didn't pull off the whole Mumba Roades thing right, so you could pay 332 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,079 it off. And that's where I think that maybe you could do it, 333 00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:37,559 And what a moment that could be of Roman costing the Rock the title, 334 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,400 and that leads to many I think I just feel like the Mama Roads. 335 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,279 Thing not happening feels very specific. I feel like all the people in that 336 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,359 room are smart enough they would have been, hey, you know, how 337 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,440 come she's not gonna slap the Rock Like that feels like such an easy spot 338 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,279 they do all the time with like he Like even Drew McIntire's wife was in 339 00:19:56,279 --> 00:19:59,519 the crowdday and she like seem punk blue or kids like. I feel like 340 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:02,559 they're all He's really cognitive of that. So I think they might be saving 341 00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:06,279 it for stuff down the line now. So yeah, I could see the 342 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,039 Rock being a challenger before Roman being a challenger because he technically has not beat 343 00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:14,559 the Final Boss. True and Rock pindam right, so that can be his 344 00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:15,960 claim to that. Not only of course he's just like, hey, I'm 345 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,319 on the board. I can do whatever I want, but it is I've 346 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:25,440 pinned the current ww champion to the mat. He'll probably say clean, you 347 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,200 know, because it was whatever like no DQ in his world. But yeah, 348 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,599 and I think there's we saw it this year where luckily Cody and Roman 349 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,319 that crowd was hot. I was so happy because that was my biggest concern 350 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,480 after last year. Also, I didn't know the Final Boss was gonna happen 351 00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:44,000 all this stuff, But my biggest concern was can they get the crowd that 352 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,079 fired up because a lot I've used, for example is HPKA and take Her 353 00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:51,359 two and seeing her rock too, where you know, still maybe not so 354 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,240 much rock and seena, but like still good matches, but like the crowd 355 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,880 just wasn't there because the result was just kind of known right, you knew 356 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,240 scene was gonna win, you knew h was hanging up, so that there 357 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,160 was like it did not have that same jews the first ones did, so 358 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,160 I was always my worry with this, but the crowd came to play. 359 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,880 I saw multiple people press saying one of the reasons is it was a lot 360 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,039 warmer and just felt like the crowd was way more alive. So maybe I 361 00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:17,839 know they're tum about Doom Minnesota, but maybe in the future they gotta maybe 362 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,200 it sucks because they want the money. But that was a calm complaint from 363 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,079 so many people last night day that they were freezing and tonight when they're warmer, 364 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,839 you could see like the crowd felt way like alive. The whole event 365 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,400 this time were last night. There were sometimes where they would sit out and 366 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,559 go okay, I'm too fucking cold to stand and raw raw right now, 367 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,160 So maybe they should think about some things like that. I don't know. 368 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,960 It's tough right with money involved. So yeah, the crowd definitely seemed a 369 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,680 whole lot more into it tonight. They got up on their feet more, 370 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,559 they were more active. They chanced tonight or on par now some of them 371 00:21:49,559 --> 00:21:55,039 were because people couldn't see for two matches. Oh my god. Yeah, 372 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,119 I've had too at WrestleMania's. It happens every year and you just think, 373 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,039 can you test out before? So I apologize to those people. That really 374 00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:06,880 sucks. I've been that position where I think I know not AJ. I 375 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,319 think I was. It was like Randy and Kin for my Mania, where 376 00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:12,039 I was there alive and it was just like stop. It was. It 377 00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:17,400 was like Caine's red lights were on for extended times. I remember that being 378 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,440 a thing. But this is twice, five years apart that it just happened 379 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:26,000 to AJ that I'm like AJ versus the lights is the few that I didn't 380 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:30,799 know that I was getting. Yeah, no, I just hopefully they test 381 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,839 that out. But yeah, so do you think now because I think probably 382 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,640 done with the main event. But if I think Jacob A two signed Fightful 383 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,160 as you like, they got a very good track record. They're like the 384 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:47,000 Hollywood reporter variety of this business. Do you think that is an immediate because 385 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,440 we're talking about this, is this a raw SmackDown where the Rock goes you 386 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,000 know, you failed us and it's we bring in Jacob, we bring up 387 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,559 maybe Tom and Tong like the Rock's crew, and which I do think with 388 00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:02,680 I think there's money in a war games of bloodline versus bloodline, Like imagine 389 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,279 that poster of Rock and Roman and then they got all like the family members 390 00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:07,880 that are divided, Like there's some stuff you could do there. But do 391 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,039 you think this is something we immediately get the because we all know what's going 392 00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:15,000 that way? Do you think it is this week or do you think that's 393 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,720 something that's held off and Rock and Roma are just kind of gone for a 394 00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:22,359 bit and we pick up later. I think both Rock and Roman are gonna 395 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,839 leave for a while. I think the Rock is gonna be here probably for 396 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,440 the next two weeks or so. And what he's gonna do is, yeah, 397 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,480 he's going to introduce your Jacob Fatus. He might even introduce Tamatanga and 398 00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:38,640 he will get the Rocks blood line, and there their thing is to rebuild 399 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,000 the blood line. And he says that, you know, they do a 400 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,240 whole thing where they send Roman off. Hey, you need some time away 401 00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:48,960 to think about this, and the Rock says, I'm gonna go away, 402 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,759 but when I come back, you guys need to be back on top. 403 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,279 Okay, So not the immediate evolution, kill and breakout. It's like a 404 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,599 fix this and if you don't, I'll fix it for you sort of thing. 405 00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:03,240 Yeah, okay, I could see that too, because then because I 406 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,839 think Roman, I know he's part time, but like he's still is gonna 407 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,400 He's easier to get than the Rock. So I agree with you because it's 408 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,599 that maybe it's summertime time, but I do think obviously there's probably gonna be 409 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,359 a year of Roman versus solo, Roman versus some other bloodline people in that 410 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,359 situation too. Where do you think they have Paul Hayman go, Does he 411 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,039 stick with Roman or does he turn on Roman as well when the eventually turn 412 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,640 does happen whenever it does, And I'm asking these questions just in case. 413 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,680 We watch Roddamore on Roman's Bloody on the mat and this has already happened. 414 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,160 So where do you think Paul goes and all this. I think that Paul 415 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,599 will go with Roman, yep, and then I think that whoever ends up 416 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,839 on top of the bloodline at the end of this story, that's where Paul 417 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,039 goes. So originally he's going to go with Roman, but then he is 418 00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:52,720 going to side with whoever is left at the head of the table because he's 419 00:24:52,759 --> 00:25:00,519 the slimy character. He's the slimy he did already. Yeah, that's gonna 420 00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:03,960 be a moment when like for some reason Roman needs a chair or something and 421 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,079 Paul doesn't give it, Like that's gonna there's gonna be some goods. And 422 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,079 that's what we've always talked about Rock and Roman does not need a title. 423 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,000 The title is the tribal chief like that is like the head of the table 424 00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:18,559 boss, Like you don't need any of that. That's just it's like when 425 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:21,559 the Undertaker's shreak was pumping. It's just as important as the title, right, 426 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,559 So yeah, that's gonna be interesting. So we'll see. But yeah, 427 00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:26,559 if Jacob two debut, he's definitely all right. If he's signed, 428 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:30,279 he's definitely happening in the next little bit here, and I think that's I 429 00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:33,839 think some new members are good to give it some juice because it's Jay solo 430 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,440 and then Roman who just lost, and I'm excited to see Roman. Roman's 431 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,240 great at what he does to play a new character of letting everyone down and 432 00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:45,880 losing in his eagle like he was so cocky and arrogant. I actually think 433 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,960 even more than Cody and Roman, I think there's like a road Roman Seth 434 00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:55,359 match potentially very soon too. And I think there's buckets and buckets of story 435 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,400 they can really do there. You know, that's another one. It needs 436 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,000 no title. So is there any thing you have left on the main event 437 00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:06,720 to say? No, It's just it was a perfect ending to not only 438 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,680 the story but Russellmania as a whole. Yeah, what did you think of 439 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,279 the overall night? Because we talked about this so for you night one, 440 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:17,680 Night two? What took it so? For me? Outside of the main 441 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:23,440 event, the top match was Drew versus Seth, which really surprised me with 442 00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:30,359 how well it was and they they really went for the gusto with that, 443 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,640 and I, you know, I thought that it was going to start off 444 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,640 with the five second match, and like I was shocked for a second, 445 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:44,200 like, oh my god, this is over already, and then Drew stopping 446 00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:48,160 halfway between to send out a tweet the same bord it work. Lol, 447 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,240 Oh my god, this gimmick is true mctire. We've all said it, 448 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:56,119 but he's never been better. That was just price is the fact that he's 449 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,920 tweeting during the match and then his fall up tweet later on just the fun 450 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,000 like this is Drew McIntyre is one of like I put him up there with 451 00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:07,599 Cody and Roman for interesting characters. Right now he is killing it. That 452 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:14,240 was so good. Yeah, so it's it's just been been great all around. 453 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:19,279 And uh and then Seth with the you fucking deserve it to end it 454 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:26,079 all right before the Damien cash in and I'm like, geez, this this 455 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,640 is something and yeah, it was just it was great and I'm I'm here 456 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,680 for it. I'm here for the Damien cash. Everything about this was just 457 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,519 it was dope. So that that was my outside of the main event. 458 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,680 That was my match of the night. They started hot and they ended hot. 459 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,279 But so then you're saying the middle portion maybe was a bit of a 460 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:53,920 lull for you, Then the middle portion was a lull, but not that 461 00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:59,799 it was bad. I think my lowest rated match was a three star and 462 00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:04,400 that was AJ and La Knight. That's I think part of what disappointed me 463 00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:10,279 was I got all this hype about AJ getting new music and then you really 464 00:28:10,279 --> 00:28:12,599 didn't get anything with the music. I mean, he didn't even have time 465 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,640 to really sit and marinate in the music. He was straight down to the 466 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:23,039 ring now. And then the biggest distraction was the crowd yelling at the lights 467 00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:27,319 and things like that, and La Knight got his needed wind that was kind 468 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,960 of presumed. And then the Logan Paul Randy Orton KO thing. Now, 469 00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:37,960 Randy Orton and Kevin Owens were just out there having absolute fun. They were 470 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:45,119 enjoying themselves from the moment yeah that they walked into the ring and everything else, 471 00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:48,839 and then the crowd chanting gatorade at Logan Paul and things like that. 472 00:28:49,799 --> 00:28:55,160 I had no idea who. Logan's friend was like, they're going off about 473 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,680 this guy, and I'm like, I have no idea. I'm above thirty, 474 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,240 don't know who this guy is. So bad with streamers like there was 475 00:29:03,359 --> 00:29:07,000 those puplishers like our TikTokers, like I don't know any of these people, 476 00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:11,079 so like, I hope people are enjoying this, because I couldn't tell you 477 00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:12,000 this, man, if you put a gun to my head right now, 478 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,440 I think it's Iso speed or I Show speed or something. But I was 479 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,160 like, yeah, I couldn't name you a single thing done. And then 480 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:25,599 Bailey versus Eo. I liked Bailey's entrance. I know some people didn't, 481 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,119 but I love like Egyptian history and the people who are watching it with they 482 00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:34,960 are very huge on Greek culture, so you know, I got some insight 483 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,480 from there. EO's weird little dance to the ring more looked like she was 484 00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:45,200 drunk than she was dancing to the ring. I'm not gonna lie, but 485 00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:48,119 the crowd was on fire for Bailey. There were some sloppy spots, but 486 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,759 overall some good wrestling, and again Bailey got her moment, So I mean 487 00:29:53,079 --> 00:30:00,400 nothing to say about it. I thought that the Bobby and the off his 488 00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:06,599 versus Carrion Cross's group it was. The match itself was serviceable again, great 489 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,119 spots, Bubba popping Philly left and right, but Snoop Dogg was the best 490 00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:15,880 part of that match. Like, so, what's that say about the match? 491 00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:21,400 You had? Some great spots, but when the commentary steals the show 492 00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:25,319 on that match and I'm spending too much time laughing out the outlandish things that 493 00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:30,759 are being said and the things in the ring, and aop disappeared after like 494 00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:38,440 five minutes the gassed. Yeah so where then? Overall on the nights, 495 00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:48,640 all right, which what do you put over for Night one? Actual rest 496 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,559 Wrestling and actual WrestleMania. Night one took it for me, but not two 497 00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:00,559 had a better start and stop, Like if I could take a lot of 498 00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:04,480 the beats from Night one again. Night two came out hard and hard, 499 00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:08,759 but there was that big lull in the middle, but you could tell, 500 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,319 hey, we're just letting you guys rest because you know what's coming. We 501 00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:15,640 know what's coming. We all know what's coming, so let's not just go 502 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,599 too crazy. There was something that I said in the discord. For me, 503 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,920 it's like I still enjoyed the whole night, but it was just that 504 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,640 waiting for the main event that was like, Man, I'm on Pins and 505 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,319 Neils. It's like something I'll have to go back and watch, but I 506 00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:30,960 think you put a good way where I have. It reminds me of like 507 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,480 the Guther and Sammy versus ream Becky debate I have in my own head, 508 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:38,079 and you were in that similarity where I feel this is the first time that 509 00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:41,039 the nights are equal, but for different reason. I think Night one did 510 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:45,079 have like the better wrestling, but Night two delivered on the spectacle and the 511 00:31:45,119 --> 00:31:48,599 WrestleMania moments. It's all like, they'll never do this again. But it 512 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,119 is almost like if you were to trim the fat and put Night one and 513 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,359 Night two together, you could maybe have the greatest WrestleMania of like if you 514 00:31:56,359 --> 00:32:00,000 had the Becky Rea match. You couldn't do the tag match right because like 515 00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:04,119 you can't have Rock and Seth and Cody and Rowan wrestling all in one. 516 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,960 But there is like a way I can envision this all together. You take 517 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,880 out a few things and it could be one of the greats. But yeah, 518 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,720 I don't know because it's tough for me. Now for me, it's 519 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,039 a different era. I can't compare the two night WrestleMania's to the one nights. 520 00:32:17,039 --> 00:32:19,920 So when everyone's like, oh, this is like the one the greatest 521 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,839 WrestleManias, I'll say, oh, it's one of the greatest two nights. 522 00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:24,880 But you can't compare Night one and Night two. I think it just or 523 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,160 sorted like a one night to a two nights. It's just weird. It's 524 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,799 like it's hard to I guess you and your mind have to put the shows 525 00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:32,799 together. But then there's many times where we've seen, like Night two be 526 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,640 very disappointing, and then even though Night one's a banger, if Night two 527 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:38,839 is a disappointing, that should bring down the whole show, right, So 528 00:32:39,319 --> 00:32:43,039 it's a weird dichotomy. So for me, I kind of put the single 529 00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:46,440 shows by themselves and then the two nighters by themselves. But I'd say I 530 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,480 would definitely say since the two nights have started, this is the best combo 531 00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:52,920 because I feel like Night two is always under delivered in some route. But 532 00:32:53,319 --> 00:32:57,960 I think I end up liking the Aja La Night match more, maybe because 533 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,079 I had lower expectations. I just for some reason thought they might have a 534 00:33:02,079 --> 00:33:06,720 styles clash. No pun intended, but I thought they had like a good 535 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:12,519 similar like Jericho and Krishnet twenty or like Ordinary Undertaker at twenty one, where 536 00:33:12,759 --> 00:33:15,839 they are allotted their time, they got their stuff in as almost broke his 537 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,720 neck on that German like he flipped but he was like inches away from not 538 00:33:20,839 --> 00:33:22,839 flipping and it was over for him, like it was, Yeah, it 539 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,200 was. I was scared for him. But and no botch or anything. 540 00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:30,759 So I enjoyed the match. But yeah, they rushed through, but kind 541 00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:32,720 of like the Jay Usso thing, you won Elle Knight to get that the 542 00:33:32,839 --> 00:33:37,440 yeah at WrestleMania. The crowd and they were fired up. And I think 543 00:33:37,599 --> 00:33:39,559 Ellie Knight is a guy that other than the lights, they it is like 544 00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:43,119 a crowd wake up thing, right, He'll come out and the second the 545 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,440 crowd gets uplifted. So I think it's smart where they placed it. So 546 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,480 no, I actually end up liking that one a lot more Like I don't 547 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,880 know if I could go to a four, but I think it m'd be 548 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,720 like a three point seventy five on that somewhere around there. So I really 549 00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:58,319 enjoyed that. The street fight was what it was, you know, it 550 00:33:58,359 --> 00:34:00,519 was to promote Gin and Juice. You got Snoop Dogg, you know, 551 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,440 and again you do need those lulls in the card. So it provided that, 552 00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:07,599 you know, the Pride gotta win. That's the way it should be. 553 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,719 Like, I don't think the what are they the final testament or the 554 00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:15,239 yeah yeah, I from the little I've seen of them, it's not I 555 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,559 don't know, it's I I would prefer if AOP was just back in the 556 00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:21,719 tag division and doing that sort of stuff. So I hope they kind of 557 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,079 go that route and carry across. I don't know, there's an example of 558 00:34:24,119 --> 00:34:27,400 that's a guy that should be shaving his head all the time, because when 559 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,199 he has his head shave, he looks like a may he looks like a 560 00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:32,760 star. And now he just kind of looks like another guy. You know, 561 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,880 like maybe he doesn't want the bald head. But there's something about that 562 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,679 that had something, So that was that was fine. I really like Bailey 563 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:45,559 and EO on the back half. I felt the first five to seven minutes 564 00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:49,519 it's like what calum chair sales time, but legitimately felt like they were feeling 565 00:34:49,559 --> 00:34:52,639 each other out. There was a couple of like missteps, not botches, 566 00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:53,880 but just little things like oh okay, not there. But then I feel 567 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,440 like the last ten minutes they really brought home some really great spots. That 568 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,480 spot when EO a moon salt and literally Bailey just stuck her feet up, 569 00:35:01,519 --> 00:35:05,840 not her knees, her feet. I was like, geez, that's how 570 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,559 you know their friends because they're trusting each other with a spot like that, 571 00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:13,840 because that could again go completely topsy turvy and eos really hurt, right, 572 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,679 But I love the aerial salt of she hits her with the moon salt. 573 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,320 That didn't do it, so she's gonna hit her three moon salts standing a 574 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,679 second rope, a third rope. Bailey's still kicking out, Like, I 575 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,519 really enjoyed the back half, so I really have to watch. I think 576 00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:31,400 I still give the edge to Rhea and uh Becky, but I think the 577 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,840 back half was really well done. And that was just another one that delivered 578 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,400 for me, other than Seth and Drew, my missing any other one that 579 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:46,440 happened. Let's see, we had profits versus AJ versilla and I Logan Paul, 580 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,559 well, right, that one, not the other one I forgot ta 581 00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:52,119 about before Drew because we'll talk about money in the bank here in a second. 582 00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:55,960 I enjoyed it. I think I'm starting to become almost like the Bloodline, 583 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,719 where I'm kind of getting bored of Logan Paul getting the breast and always 584 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,920 just one of his friends interferes because so far since he's been in the title 585 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,599 picture. That's the ending. Every time, you know, he it's either 586 00:36:07,679 --> 00:36:09,719 Brass Knucks or it's a guy that's in the Prime Bottle. They interfere, 587 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,440 they get their ass beat, and then Logan does a cheap win, you 588 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,119 know, and that's Yeah, it's just kind of rints and repeat, and 589 00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:20,280 I get I'm fine with him being the the celebrity has to cheat to win. 590 00:36:20,559 --> 00:36:23,679 I just wish it would be and there's dozens of ways he can cheat 591 00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:25,840 to win, you know. It doesn't have to just be Prime Bottle guy 592 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,639 or Brass knocks or I hate when it's like, oh, it's one of 593 00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:31,800 his posse people that we don't know, you know, It's just it's it's 594 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,400 all. I was like, I don't know this guy. So I like 595 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,440 the match. I really like the setup of they beat Logan Paul down and 596 00:36:38,519 --> 00:36:40,679 they were like, are we gonna fight now? We're gonna like Kao kept 597 00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:43,480 asking him, should we fight now? Are we gonna fight now? I 598 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,719 like no, no, and then she all we're doing this now, yeah, 599 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,000 and then they just win and fought. So I really liked that. 600 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,480 I almost think that also, I know that hits like Ko and Sam and 601 00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:54,760 stuff, but they might probably I'm not sure who they would turn heel between 602 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,559 Ko and Randy. That could be coming. But I also thought Kao and 603 00:36:58,639 --> 00:37:00,440 Randy like could have some tential, is like a tag team. I think 604 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:05,760 they got really good chemistry. That entrance was fun, so I liked the 605 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,000 match. It was good. I think they had some good high spots. 606 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:12,599 Randy with a really cool RKO with that pop up power bomb in the Rkale 607 00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:15,239 like, yeah, yeah, that was good. That was like that SETH 608 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,760 one nine years ago where if it goes wrong you look really dumb. You 609 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,159 know, it's just like you'll get the U fucked up chance and everything. 610 00:37:21,199 --> 00:37:23,840 But they pulled it off. I was very like so overall that was still 611 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,760 like a good That for me was like a like above a three, like 612 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,719 a three point two five where I enjoyed it. But I think I think 613 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,079 they're just saving it for even he threw them out of the ring. I 614 00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:37,519 imagine it backlash. I think maybe we'll get Randy and Logan. Whenever Logan 615 00:37:37,559 --> 00:37:42,280 decides to wrestle next. It's gonna be I think just a singles match between 616 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,960 the two, and I'm looking more forward to that to see kay because I 617 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,039 guess I would count Seth, but I feel like other than Seth and Minion 618 00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,400 Ko, but I just feel like Randy is a kind of a different breed 619 00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:54,320 right, and Logan hasn't face He's verse race, So I'm taking it back. 620 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,960 He's versed all these great people already. I'm curious to see how Randy 621 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,599 and him do together. An athletic guy, so Ranny can really throw him 622 00:38:01,639 --> 00:38:06,760 around and do some fun stuff. So I'm I'm with you. I'm just 623 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,239 I'm tired of the friends spot. Yeah, and again that maybe because I'm 624 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,000 in my thirties, so I don't know who have these friends are. But 625 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,280 he's proved in the Rumble and he's proved in other occasions that he can go 626 00:38:19,559 --> 00:38:23,079 in the ring. He has the ability, he has the agility, he 627 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:29,400 has the conditioning, he can go in the ring. So let that be 628 00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:34,159 it. If you want to do either the I go for a weapon or 629 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,039 I go for a friend, than fine, But doing both every match just 630 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,880 it gets a little bit too much for me. And like, I'm tired 631 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,280 of seeing that be the way Logan wins. Who's going to be in the 632 00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:50,559 Prime Bottle this week? Yeah, And I hope, I hope it goes 633 00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:54,159 away, especially because it'd be different to me if he was a celebrity that 634 00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:58,599 couldn't wrestle. He can wrestle. He's very athletic. It'd be different if 635 00:38:58,639 --> 00:39:00,760 it was somebody that was very limited, and it's like, hey, this 636 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,679 is how we have to hide them. We always have to have interference. 637 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,840 But they got the guy go against like Roman Reigns, and he like got 638 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,119 close to being right like they they've made sure to go. Oh like, 639 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,840 he's like Kurt Angle, he's picked this up. So well, then just 640 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,800 let him go. Let him cheat other way. He let him pull the 641 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,400 tights, let him do a low blow, let him do like a d 642 00:39:16,519 --> 00:39:20,079 Q himself, let him do the knucks of course, and a friend every 643 00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:22,920 once in a while. Maybe I would like it if those friends did start 644 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,199 becoming Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, just so it's more wwe like and I 645 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,159 can have some like caring about who this person is. So again we'll see. 646 00:39:30,199 --> 00:39:32,880 I think he's gonna hold it. I'm in agreeents that I think he's 647 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,000 gonna hold it to Cleveland, because I know some people think that he's gonna 648 00:39:37,039 --> 00:39:39,039 challenge Cody. I don't. I don't think they want Cody to potentially get 649 00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:43,000 food there. So I think you can even have Paul main event that I 650 00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:45,800 think he's gonna hold it to Cleveland. You agree there, Yeah, he's 651 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:51,400 He's definitely gonna be the selling point of Cleveland because when it comes to Cleveland, 652 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,679 you've got him, Miss and Johnny Gargana, Like those are your Cleveland 653 00:39:55,800 --> 00:40:00,280 boys. And you know, I like Johnny Gargana, but he's not selling 654 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:06,119 a pl E. I love Miss, but he's not at this point. 655 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,719 He's not selling a pl E. Like he's great and people want to see 656 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,440 him and people love to see him and interact with him, but he's not 657 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,280 selling a pl E like the card. He'll be on the card for, 658 00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:22,199 you know, But Logan Paul will sell a pl like. He will sell 659 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:27,440 it to the base of people who are just fleetingly familiar with it. He 660 00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:32,679 will get kids to get their parents to sign up for Peacock and everything else 661 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,840 just to watch this. Oh, like it is crazy. Like my six 662 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,519 year old daughter knows what a prime bottle is and she shouldn't. You know. 663 00:40:38,679 --> 00:40:43,239 I'm not a Logan Paul fan for among the reasons stuff. But the 664 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,519 guy and his team they do a great job of getting him out there and 665 00:40:45,519 --> 00:40:47,719 stuff. I will say we never talked about this in any of the night 666 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,679 reviews. The prime bottle in the Miller ring was not as bad as I 667 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,280 thought it was going to be. I was. I was happy they didn't 668 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,920 do the colored version. If they did the color of the blue and red, 669 00:40:58,039 --> 00:41:01,320 I think we were screwed. The black and white version that was that 670 00:41:01,519 --> 00:41:05,000 was fine. If they can keep him like that. I know you had 671 00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:07,199 I was gonna say, I give you a moment before we end off with 672 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:08,199 the many of the Bank. You had a problem with probably more of the 673 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:13,559 other promotional stuff because the ring and the aprons and the barricades. They changed 674 00:41:13,559 --> 00:41:16,159 her out the whole match and we got wings do what was that thing? 675 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:21,440 Was dude meet or something like that, or dude it's it's dude wipes. 676 00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:27,599 It's it's male flushable toilet wipes, male flushable toilet wipes. I don't know 677 00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:30,159 why that's needed, but uh, it was so funny, like Drew's having 678 00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:34,360 this moment, he's just won the title and he's standing there and over shoulder 679 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,480 his dude wipes and that's where it's like, like, I don't like it 680 00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:40,800 at all. But it's much like we have on giek Verse. You pay 681 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,280 the bill, so I completely get that, right, but I do agree 682 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,840 with you sometimes it was a bit much. But yeah, what was uh 683 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,239 what were your opinions on because this was the most we've ever seen promotional wise 684 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,920 on w ring and around. This is the most we've ever seen it. 685 00:41:54,119 --> 00:41:59,599 I did find it funny though, that they have both Prime and C four 686 00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:04,559 sponsors and they are both energy drinks. That that is hilarious to me. 687 00:42:04,599 --> 00:42:08,920 I'm like a pick a lane, but it I'm used to. Okay, 688 00:42:09,079 --> 00:42:13,599 for the last probably year and a half or so, they've been having one 689 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,400 sponsored match. Triple h just announced it the official entergy drink of WE. 690 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:22,559 So just to your point, it's like they have a Prime bottle, but 691 00:42:22,679 --> 00:42:25,639 they just like I thought for sure Prime would be it because they're already that 692 00:42:25,679 --> 00:42:29,159 way with UC right, so I thought, oh t k o UFC. 693 00:42:29,639 --> 00:42:31,480 I thought we're sure gonna get some Prime announcement. But I guess C four 694 00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:35,800 paid more money because that's funny. Yeah, just announced three minutes ago Triple 695 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,440 hys for is the official entry drink of WWE. So yeah, see, 696 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,239 you know, I'm used to one match being a sponsored match, you know, 697 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,840 the slim gym match and things like those French last year when you had 698 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,239 a father beat his child during Cinnamental's crime during during serial time. Yeah, 699 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,440 so I'm used to it being one but every single match, and then I 700 00:43:01,679 --> 00:43:07,280 do need somebody in their corporate office to kind of look and see which matches 701 00:43:07,559 --> 00:43:13,239 they choose, because now this is me being someone who's biracial. You're having 702 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,880 having the all black women's mat be the match sponsored by the Wing Place, 703 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:25,119 and then having the Latino match be the one sponsored by a Mexican Some people 704 00:43:25,119 --> 00:43:29,280 brought that up again tonight to Gin and Juice for the Pride and everything like 705 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,320 that, but I guess, like to be that one wasn't as bad because 706 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,239 like, and I can't speak white white bread guy over here, but that 707 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,039 was just because where else would you put Snoop on the card? Right? 708 00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:39,280 For me, that one was like, I don't want him out there. 709 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,199 I guess you could do something fun with him in La a Night, but 710 00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:44,960 I don't want him out there for Bailey and EO. I don't want him 711 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:45,960 out there for Seth and Drew, and I don't want him out there for 712 00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:49,800 the main I guess you could have fit him in the Logan pol too, 713 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,920 like they could have, so they could have, but I guess that was 714 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,159 the prime one, right, So you couldn't have him do Gin and Juice, 715 00:43:53,199 --> 00:43:55,199 and you can't I guess you can't do light Night, right because he's 716 00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:58,719 the slim gym guy, right, So that one made sense. But the 717 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:05,559 ones yesterday were a bit like red flag, like like no one, no 718 00:44:05,679 --> 00:44:08,119 one saying, just swap them and it's fixed, you know, Yeah, 719 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,679 seriously, that that is all that needs I if you're gonna do it, 720 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,360 okay, but just kind of look at the optics of when you're doing it 721 00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:22,039 and maybe switch it up. And my feeling about it is, if you 722 00:44:22,119 --> 00:44:24,480 want to do it on the mid card match is fine. I don't think 723 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:29,559 for a Cody match or something like that, you you need the sponsorships. 724 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:34,320 Just leave that off. Let those moments be those moments, because when we 725 00:44:34,559 --> 00:44:37,639 look back on those pictures and we look back on everything, to see those 726 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:42,920 sponsorships around the ring is a little bit like that's that's not the memory that 727 00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:46,280 that you want of that. I felt like even on purpose tonight when he 728 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,039 kissed the mat his knee, he kissed the mat over the prime Well, 729 00:44:51,079 --> 00:44:52,679 like I felt like last night he went to kiss him. I was like, 730 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,880 oh, I'm already here, But I I just thought it was a 731 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,880 conscious effort. Maybe I read completely into that, but just felt like for 732 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,400 the big match, the title match, he's gonna be past the prime bottle 733 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,840 and kiss the ring, you know. So yeah, I get it, 734 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,880 So yeah, it it. I think it also depends on the color too, 735 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,119 because like I think that wing spot, I can't remember which one was 736 00:45:09,159 --> 00:45:12,800 white, and it was just it was bright. It was like almost glare. 737 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,920 And was like, Okay, this is not taking me out, but 738 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,039 it is distracting. And I think that's where it was because super super the 739 00:45:19,079 --> 00:45:23,679 wings one was super super bright, and I was just like wow. And 740 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:28,119 then finally for the match that you talked a little bit about but I haven't, 741 00:45:28,159 --> 00:45:30,280 and then we'll just theorize a bit more. Uh, we have Seth 742 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,119 and Drew. Yeah, like you said right away, God, why am 743 00:45:34,119 --> 00:45:37,880 I forgetting that Drew's finished? What the hell is the kick? Oh? 744 00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:42,360 God, Claymore kick? Yeah hit him off that five seconds? I thought, 745 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,960 yeah, we're gonna Daniel Bryan Shamus situation. Uh, but we didn't. 746 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,840 They were going finish her heavy fast. I joked in the discord it 747 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,000 was like a Brock match. We're brock near. Dan was just like, 748 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,119 it's either a German and that's it. Uh Sam, I drink woo energy 749 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,880 like an adult. Oh there we go, thank you. As bubs Prime, 750 00:46:00,039 --> 00:46:05,960 it's a hydrogen not hydration, not hydrogen. Prime has hydrogen in the 751 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,480 bottom. No, Prime's hydration, not energy. Okay. There was there 752 00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:14,159 was a lawsuit that they could not call themselves an energy drink. Oh is 753 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:20,760 that why? Yes, they cannot legally call themselves an energy drink. Okay, 754 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,159 So that's why one is the official hydrogen or a hydra Oh my god, 755 00:46:24,199 --> 00:46:30,719 it's getting late hydration drink, and the other is the official energy drink. 756 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:31,960 I guess. So okay, there you go. Fine, I understand 757 00:46:32,039 --> 00:46:36,159 now, that's sure. Sure, Jan, whatever you want to tell. 758 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,280 But yeah, so Drew and said they're going crazy. They're both hing pedigrees, 759 00:46:39,599 --> 00:46:43,800 which you know Seth twice goes for the pedigree on his bad knees a 760 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,920 little questionable, but whatever he does it. I thought this was good. 761 00:46:46,199 --> 00:46:51,719 I thought this was I get what they were going for because it felt like 762 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,559 I'm not saying they were cut on time. But I guess we've gone matches 763 00:46:54,599 --> 00:46:58,000 with them before and this is probably not the last one, so I was 764 00:46:58,039 --> 00:47:00,000 fine with it being a little different enough. I usually don't love the finisher 765 00:47:00,079 --> 00:47:04,199 off. I don't love the video game matches where it is just I know 766 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,360 people might laugh because like I watch AW but like even some stuff in AAW 767 00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:09,440 that it goes past a point right where it's like, yeah, this is 768 00:47:09,519 --> 00:47:13,840 too much. So I that was a bit much. But I think it 769 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,719 was fine with Seth being injured with what they wanted to do with Drew, 770 00:47:16,639 --> 00:47:19,880 so they went heavy on that Drew got the win, and I did not 771 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,199 think that was gonna happen. I thought Seth was gonna get the win. 772 00:47:22,599 --> 00:47:24,320 I think that even add to Cody winning later because they added that, like, 773 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:29,159 well Seth was scrutiny loss, so Cody. I was sold though, 774 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,239 when Seth did that moment of saying, you know you fucking deserve and they 775 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,239 had this moment they're both head nodding, which I love because Drew's kind of 776 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,519 like a tweeener and Seth respects him. I didn't think the cash was happening 777 00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:40,159 then because it was like it was like a nice moment of like, okay, 778 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,559 they're letting Drew. Drew stood us this moment. He gets to win 779 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,239 finally in a crowd on some fucking warehouse. Good for him. He gets 780 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,440 the big pop, great moment with his wife when he got on his knee 781 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,360 and like presented her the championship, Like that was just really cool. And 782 00:47:53,559 --> 00:47:57,880 then much like Roman, out of the corner of his eye he sees him 783 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,559 Punk and he cannot help himself. He gets on the table saying good stuff 784 00:48:01,559 --> 00:48:05,320 of like here took a photo of this. I want to remember this forever, 785 00:48:05,519 --> 00:48:08,920 Like it was so good. He's mouthing off of Punk and he's like 786 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,559 Punk's like I can't hear you. I got cans on. Like the old 787 00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:17,760 back and forth was so good. Punk was so great during that whole exchange, 788 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:23,559 just sitting back there like it keep on tucking. I did like Drew 789 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:28,159 slow turn, he celebrates it, and then he just serious and turns and 790 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,239 looks. I did get kind of weirded out when he slid the title on 791 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,800 the table and then start crawling across the table. Yeah, there was like 792 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,000 some there's gonna be some fan thick now seeing Punk and drumac in time that 793 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:45,559 was very sense was moving. I was like, what what in the erotic 794 00:48:45,679 --> 00:48:49,199 thriller is going on here? And he's obsessed with Punk though, right, 795 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,760 so maybe he is. He's truly obsessed. He wants Punk in many different 796 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,760 ways because even last week it wasn't the same. But remember when Seth walked 797 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:59,079 across him or found him backstage and he was just he had his leg up 798 00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:01,519 and his kill was up everything. Like I think Drew is on purpose now 799 00:49:02,079 --> 00:49:07,960 making his character have some sexual vibes, which is not what I would envision, 800 00:49:07,199 --> 00:49:09,239 like, oh, any little gold dust in my character, Like, 801 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,119 do not want my vision? But it does, like it becomes memorable, 802 00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:15,440 right because when he's crawling, you're like, what the fuck is about to 803 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:19,480 happen here? Like what's going on? Yeah, so it was weird, 804 00:49:19,519 --> 00:49:22,079 but yes, see him Punk coming out and then seeing Punk's face during the 805 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:30,719 entire cash in was just hilarious. Oh, legendary shot of he's yeah, 806 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,559 he takes his arm thing off, he's being dropped with it, he's kicking 807 00:49:32,639 --> 00:49:37,840 him and then seeing Punk they have it to his back and he's being drew 808 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,639 back and tire up and then the music goes off and the camera swings around 809 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:45,519 to see him Punk and then seem Punk just smiles because it's it's exactly I 810 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,239 was wrong about Seth, that I was wrong on Gunther, But I did 811 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,599 say this morning, I said, if Drew wins, I think the setup 812 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,519 is and I thought they could do with Seth. Two is Drew like Punk 813 00:49:54,559 --> 00:49:58,599 screws him over, and that's what was great. It is like Punk smiles 814 00:49:58,639 --> 00:50:00,880 and he goes back to kicking him. It was like a, oh what 815 00:50:00,039 --> 00:50:02,519 I do. It was like a yeah, screw you, buddy, like 816 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,159 you got in my face and I cost you the title of the moment, 817 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,559 and that was that's like such a Punk move. And it goes towards their 818 00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:13,440 feud like man Drew and Punk, that match is gonna be. That's gonna 819 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,719 feed families, as they say. But we talked about also this morning. 820 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,559 I think s pubs he couldn't join us still be on the next episode whenever 821 00:50:19,599 --> 00:50:21,400 we do that, if we do a bonus won't get him on there. 822 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,519 So we get his thoughts. But we all said that if Damien cash in 823 00:50:24,639 --> 00:50:29,280 and loses, you gotta split Judgment day because they are it's like what else 824 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:30,960 do you do? You're looking weak? But they gave the big man. 825 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,480 The big Man for Puerto Rico came in there. I'm goshing right now, 826 00:50:35,639 --> 00:50:37,960 this big whatever choke let's sit out chokeslam. I guess he does. He 827 00:50:38,079 --> 00:50:40,920 does that to Drew gets the one two three. He held on it for 828 00:50:42,119 --> 00:50:45,519 ten months. Uh, David, you you thought it was gonna happen tomorrow. 829 00:50:45,679 --> 00:50:49,880 So it's happened twenty four hours earlier. But uh, what did you 830 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,760 think about the actual cashion and also Damien Priests the world airweight champion. How 831 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:57,920 are you feeling about that? I'm okay with it again. I knew it 832 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,159 was gonna happen. I thought they were gonna give Drew a little bit more 833 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:06,519 time to bask in the glory of his win. But I mean, technically, 834 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,239 it's still a win. It still goes on the book. He's still 835 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:13,000 people. Yeah, he got to experience it. He got to cheer for 836 00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:15,800 a good solid three four minutes with the crowd and everything else. He got 837 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:21,760 to present it to his wife and everything before they took it away. I 838 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:27,119 did love the cash in. I love the image of Judgment Day at the 839 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:32,239 end, looking strong again, him and Ria both holding the world heavyweight titles 840 00:51:32,519 --> 00:51:37,320 for raw, So it's going to be a good Monday night for the Judgment 841 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:42,559 Day. And I think it leaves something strong. So if Cody is going 842 00:51:42,679 --> 00:51:46,800 to SmackDown or however they're going to do it with the draft coming up in 843 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,639 a month, you know, if he does end up staying on SmackDown, 844 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:57,599 then you leave someone strong. You leave Judgment Day running raw and looking strong 845 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,440 and doing so. Yeah, I was really happy the whole Judgment Day was 846 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,039 out there. One I thought that was actually a genuine moment when they all 847 00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:06,159 just hugged at the stage, Like it didn't feel like one of those like 848 00:52:06,559 --> 00:52:08,199 I'll get out, Like it felt like this was like a their very happy 849 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,400 for them and it seemed like they're all friendly. I just mean like they 850 00:52:10,519 --> 00:52:13,599 just took a moment, not even to play the cameras. It was just 851 00:52:13,679 --> 00:52:15,159 them hugging for five seconds. You couldn't see it in their faces. It's 852 00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:19,960 like, this doesn't make necessarily good TV for like, oh, you need 853 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,920 the perfect shot, but it makes great TV for Oh, you can feel 854 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,039 this is a big moment for them, and it's great them all behind them 855 00:52:25,159 --> 00:52:29,079 posing and stuff that there's a great shot of Rhiann him to hold up the 856 00:52:29,159 --> 00:52:31,719 titles. So yeah, I think this is the juice that needs especially I'm 857 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,559 hoping Seth maybe Ghoest takes a little break, you know, like has some 858 00:52:36,639 --> 00:52:39,039 has some time to recoup, because that guy's been working hard. But I 859 00:52:39,079 --> 00:52:43,920 could see whether it's backlash. I could see it could go many ways because 860 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,440 Drew is a tweeter, right, you could easily make them semi more babyface. 861 00:52:46,559 --> 00:52:51,079 But I think you're gonna get at least Seth and Drew or Seth and 862 00:52:51,159 --> 00:52:53,199 Damien, And I wonder I'm not sure if you agree, but I think 863 00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,840 the play might be as long as he resigns that Drew. I could see 864 00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,719 Drew beating Damien at the Clash a cap. I could see it going there. 865 00:53:01,159 --> 00:53:05,159 And my prediction is this is bold, like a year out almost, 866 00:53:05,199 --> 00:53:07,719 but I'm gonna say that Punk is going to beat Drew at the Royal Rumble 867 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,559 for the title, and Seth's gonna win the Royal Rumble. That way, 868 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,400 Punk only has to hold the title for a month and a half. They'll 869 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:15,760 make sure he doesn't wrestle so he doesn't get injured or anything like that. 870 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:20,119 They'll play it real safe, and then I think you could have Seth and 871 00:53:20,199 --> 00:53:22,719 Punk next year and you get Seth to beat him. That's how he gets 872 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,199 the title back. But what do you think is who do you think is 873 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,440 challenge them's first? And then what do you do you think? Uh, 874 00:53:28,079 --> 00:53:30,400 is that the match at to Clash the Castle Damien and Drew or do you 875 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,159 think it's gonna be some other combination. Oh, it's it's gotta be Damion 876 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,519 and Drew at Class the Castle. I mean I think that that is going 877 00:53:37,639 --> 00:53:45,039 to be. They gave Drew the WrestleMania spot with the crowd because he didn't 878 00:53:45,079 --> 00:53:47,960 have his before, but the actual coronation is going to be at Clash of 879 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,320 the Castle. That pop is going to be tremendous. I mean, look 880 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,360 at what happened last year in the ovation that they got at Class to the 881 00:53:55,480 --> 00:54:01,280 Castle. Now this one being in Scotland, it's going to be chess crazy 882 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:07,320 loud. So I think that's gonna be his coronation. I think he's gonna 883 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:12,679 chase for a while, but that's gonna be it. I'm not sure where 884 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,840 you go with your first challenger to Damien right now? Yeah, because I 885 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,239 guess it could be Seth though, right because if he just lost, that 886 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,480 would be weird to have Seth go before Drew. It depends on how injured 887 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:28,440 Seth really is, and if him and Becky are gonna take some time off, 888 00:54:28,639 --> 00:54:30,760 just go off be with their daughter for a while. Not being on 889 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,800 the road also gonna you remember, if we got the draft, they could 890 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,519 just have Damien mess around for a little bit and then someone from SmackDown come 891 00:54:37,599 --> 00:54:40,559 over and get a shot or something like that. Right, yeah, you 892 00:54:40,639 --> 00:54:44,840 know, I find if it's just a random we're gonna do a fatal four 893 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,199 way on some raw and it's just like a new story. I'm completely fine 894 00:54:47,199 --> 00:54:51,360 if right away it's not true or Seth because I'm so happy the rematch clause 895 00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,880 thing is gone because that was always such a clutch for WW and Vince because 896 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:58,079 he loved rematches. I'd be fine if it was we're gonna take four guys, 897 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,519 put him in a match, and then just get because you know, 898 00:55:00,599 --> 00:55:04,159 Damian's not gonna like I'm sorry, Damon's not main eventing backlash. That's gonna 899 00:55:04,199 --> 00:55:06,519 be Cody, right, So it's not like Damien has to have like the 900 00:55:06,639 --> 00:55:10,079 hottest angle where Clash of Castle he can and it's like Chamber. We're like 901 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:14,800 Ria is a bad guy. But if you have her go up against Naya, 902 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,239 she's another bad guy. So it's the same thing as Drew and Damien, 903 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,320 where Drew's like a bad guy, but he gets to be the baby 904 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,760 face at Clash of Castle. Right. Yeah, and right now, you've 905 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,960 got a month to the draft. There's gonna be some call ups. This 906 00:55:27,119 --> 00:55:30,320 is the perfect time to do some type of tournament just to fill your month. 907 00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:34,920 You don't have to have any title defenses really up until after the draft. 908 00:55:35,079 --> 00:55:37,960 Just have some type of tournament to fill your month for a number one 909 00:55:37,159 --> 00:55:44,320 contender and let that be at just a nice little placeholder or even like I 910 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,840 know they haven't done this before, but just have the person who wins King 911 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,199 of Rings so you also get a world tile shot too, and that would 912 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,400 be to me, I'd want that more than the fucking crown. They did 913 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,159 that, I don't know if they did that multiple times, but remember that's 914 00:55:57,199 --> 00:56:00,920 how Brock got it in two thousand and two. He'd beat rob and that's 915 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,880 how he got to the Rock, and that's why it made sense for Hey, 916 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,920 how does this guy who's been around for under six months get a title 917 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,360 shot? Well, he won a tournament, right, so if someone wins, 918 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,880 and I guess that's probably pretty far right because that's may I guess later 919 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,280 may so. But even then I'm talking about for other potential contenders, just 920 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,079 have that the person wings King Ring, they get the trophy, they get 921 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,280 the bag, and they also got a shot Damien and have some have like 922 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:27,599 Chad Gable win King of the Ring and have like a really underdog match where 923 00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:30,400 he gets close to winning the world title or something. You know. So, 924 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,239 but yeah, I'm very curious. Raw and Now is super hot because 925 00:56:34,519 --> 00:56:37,320 Cody says he's gonna be on both shows, so that's gonna happen. Drew, 926 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:42,159 I think he's gonna cut a fantastic promo tomorrow. I cannot wait. 927 00:56:42,599 --> 00:56:45,440 And then he's like cut a fantastic promo the next week because he's gonna have 928 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,039 that all in footage, and man, Drew just can't wait. He's salvating 929 00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,639 that we're getting a Damien and whatever judgment day fall up there, so that'll 930 00:56:52,679 --> 00:56:57,679 be good. Seth. I think could give a take as if he's on 931 00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,599 RAW or not, like he said, I could see him taking just some 932 00:56:59,639 --> 00:57:02,480 time off right off the hop that like both him saying that to drew and 933 00:57:02,599 --> 00:57:07,559 shaking Cody's hand felt like a almost like a goodbye for now and then have 934 00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:15,000 him come back and get hot. I think he might do an actual not 935 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,679 farewell but see you down the road on raw. I think that could come 936 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,679 from uh seth actually coming out and tons, Hey, I've been working injured. 937 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:29,239 I was a workhorse champion. I did my best elevate this champion to 938 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,679 give you guys a fighting champion. Now at someone else's turn, I'm gonna 939 00:57:32,719 --> 00:57:36,280 go away for a while, get healed up, but I promise you I'm 940 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,000 coming back for this belt. Yeah exactly, I'll get it. I'll get 941 00:57:39,079 --> 00:57:44,360 better, I'll get stronger. And what is the what the hell's the stupid 942 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:50,400 two nicknames, the revolutionary or whatever. I hate the visionary visionary. I 943 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,280 hate cool entrance to you. I forgot, we forgot about that. But 944 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:57,639 cool entrance with all the banded people and the war's waldvile situation. But uh 945 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,159 yeah no that was cool. But yeah, Damien, Hey, congrats to 946 00:58:00,239 --> 00:58:04,800 Damien. He was what pegged is one of those guys I was maybe gonna 947 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,480 lose it, you know. I think people even said that the press or 948 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:08,039 a few minutes I saw I was like, I didn't even know if he 949 00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:10,079 said I didn't know if I was gonna have a job here at one point, 950 00:58:10,119 --> 00:58:14,119 you know, during Judgment day. So and when a long ride for 951 00:58:14,199 --> 00:58:16,079 Judgment day is starting with him rihann edge to all where it is now, 952 00:58:16,599 --> 00:58:20,000 and I hope, like, let Damien run for a little bit. You 953 00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:22,920 have Cody as the top guy. Damien doesn't have to carry the company. 954 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,119 He doesn't have to be like, of course you want a guy to move 955 00:58:25,199 --> 00:58:29,760 merch and tickets and everything, but like, let him, let him run. 956 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,960 I hope it's not like a edge first cash in where Damien has it 957 00:58:34,079 --> 00:58:37,320 backlash, he gets beat and then it's over right, Like I actually would 958 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:38,880 prefer if he held the clash of the castle and let him have a run, 959 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,800 because then you know he's dependable. Either he has a great run and 960 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,480 you go, hey, in the future, we could do this again, 961 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:46,760 or it's ah, you know, this is not really Damien's SWI he is 962 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,360 a better, more middle ground. You know. I don't want to say 963 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,239 B plus player, but you know, could be right. So this is 964 00:58:52,559 --> 00:58:54,880 because if you give him a month, I'm not gonna do anything. Cody's 965 00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,519 on top. Cody's fine. I don't think, well, do you think 966 00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:00,039 we have any direction as far as too good lenge Cody first Tomorrow? I 967 00:59:00,079 --> 00:59:04,719 feel like tomorrow's just Cody celebration time tomorrow on's speech. I don't know if 968 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:07,719 there's like, I don't think they set anything up really, I I'm not 969 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:12,320 sure if they set anything up right now. If they do, I'm prayingus 970 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:17,400 Gunther right off the hap eh Gunther comes out and it eats some night one. 971 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,280 I want him to be a I want his first challenge to be a 972 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:29,840 strong challenge. I don't want it to be a situation where his first that 973 00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:32,280 this doesn't need to be a Hey, I beat Big Show in a dark 974 00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:37,760 match as my first dawn Mysterio wins a turn, who wins a battle oil 975 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,280 and gets the first shot at Cody. Yeah, I agree, because that 976 00:59:39,519 --> 00:59:44,079 is for all people that are massive Bloodline fans and Rowan fans. That is 977 00:59:44,159 --> 00:59:45,800 the biggest thing. People said, well, you don't want to take the 978 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:46,920 title off Rowing because the story is so good, you don't want to end 979 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,480 it. You do not want to make Cody's run. And I trust in 980 00:59:50,519 --> 00:59:53,039 Triple H and everybody. If this was Vince, I wouldn't because even you're 981 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,280 to that point. Remember when Daniel Bryan, I think his first challenger was 982 00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,880 like Caine after Wrestle Maine and the thirty Right, It's like Caine, like 983 01:00:00,079 --> 01:00:02,840 this is the best we got for him right now is like corporate Kane and 984 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:07,039 like he switched back and forth like you need somebody believable but strong. Obviously 985 01:00:07,039 --> 01:00:09,920 they don't think they're gonna win. But that is the biggest challenge from the 986 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:14,159 now is they have to make maybe not better than the bloodline, but they 987 01:00:14,239 --> 01:00:16,599 have to keep him as interesting as a character as Roman. Now you can't 988 01:00:16,639 --> 01:00:19,760 have it feel like a step down. And if I agree, if it's 989 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,400 like a big show a dom A jd even like it to me like this, 990 01:00:22,559 --> 01:00:24,960 I hate saying like even if it's a Finn Balor because I could see 991 01:00:25,039 --> 01:00:29,039 fen Baler come out to more and being like, oh my brother Damien has 992 01:00:29,079 --> 01:00:30,719 a belt and now I gotta get a belt too, Like you gotta get 993 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,280 somebody, and if it is Finn, okay, but then the challenges you 994 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,440 gotta heat this fucking guy up. I actually think it could be some sort 995 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:42,239 of babyface and in my mind, I guess they want to do Logan and 996 01:00:42,599 --> 01:00:45,639 Randy. But I would also I would just pivot and have you do, 997 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,159 have Randy do the heel turn soon around later, because that's a story that 998 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,639 you got at least four to six months and Cody and Randy is like that 999 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,639 gets you a while because there's so much to pick apart there. So and 1000 01:00:55,239 --> 01:01:00,280 if you're gonna do the Cody and Randy, let it simmer. Let have 1001 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:04,119 some heat that builds up, bring back some of the old stories and things 1002 01:01:04,199 --> 01:01:06,800 like that, because that would be my fear. If this was the Vin's 1003 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,199 error, then Cody would win it and then tomorrow night Randy would be challenging 1004 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:16,280 him and he gets beat by a WWE homegrown talent. Yeah, just just 1005 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:21,880 to be like, just remember we're better. Yeah, just like Stinging triple 1006 01:01:22,039 --> 01:01:23,880 h. Right. I watched the resume not too long a couple or last 1007 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:30,679 weekend. That was that situation where he just forced to be WW versus WCW. 1008 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,679 And but we are in a new era, I can say that, 1009 01:01:34,199 --> 01:01:37,119 And that's the best thing where this does feel they give you no excuse now 1010 01:01:37,159 --> 01:01:39,320 and even peel like myself where it's like, oh well there's this, well 1011 01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:43,760 there's this. They did multiple great things this weekend on both nights. I 1012 01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,880 think they they really did. I think our great job of capturing new fans 1013 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:51,440 and capturing people like myself because I will now I started watching more raws and 1014 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,880 smackdowns since probably Rumble because when Cody won, I was getting hyped up. 1015 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:58,119 And it's been good with the rock and everything. But now, and that's 1016 01:01:58,159 --> 01:02:00,920 what happens. You get my money, now, you get my attention, 1017 01:02:00,079 --> 01:02:04,519 you get me by e merge where I haven't full time watched since twenty nineteen, 1018 01:02:04,559 --> 01:02:07,400 and I think a lot of us around that time maybe if you still 1019 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,199 watch full time, you weren't as invested. I still think that's how aw 1020 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:14,519 became because people just needed a break from the Vince era, right, And 1021 01:02:14,639 --> 01:02:17,239 this does feel we forgot to mention. Stephanie came out said it's a Pauloveck 1022 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,639 era put him over huge. You know, it's great to see her back. 1023 01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,920 Deaf Rebel destroyed her theme song, but that's a topic for another day 1024 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:27,400 when they will do a full topic on Deaf Rebel and what they've done. 1025 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,639 But I think this was all around. I don't know where ranks as far 1026 01:02:30,679 --> 01:02:36,199 as WrestleMania's but as far as best weekends or just days for WWE. This 1027 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,440 is a top tier, top five one as far as success quality and just 1028 01:02:40,679 --> 01:02:45,639 I imagine growth. I imagine they got a lot of people with them here 1029 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:47,599 in a past era they might have not been able to and I think this 1030 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:51,280 is a good start. I'm ready. I'm ready for this ride. I'm 1031 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:52,960 excited to see what they can do. I don't need the Attitude era. 1032 01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,559 I need whatever this new era is. Show me what else you can do. 1033 01:02:55,599 --> 01:02:58,000 And I like that to Ara, but I just mean, like, 1034 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,119 I don't need I like that they're swearing blood, but I don't need those 1035 01:03:00,159 --> 01:03:02,760 things. When it comes down to is great characters and stories. They got 1036 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,719 that now. So yeah, David, what are your final thoughts on this 1037 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,039 weekend? And ww and the whatever they air will be Paul of that renaissance, 1038 01:03:10,119 --> 01:03:14,280 But what are your thoughts on this whole weekend? I'm hoping that they 1039 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:21,199 continue in this this error, they continue to implore a lot more wrestling along 1040 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:27,400 with their entertainment and make wrestling entertaining, and you know that that's that's what 1041 01:03:27,519 --> 01:03:30,800 I want to see and that's what's going to bring me in it. For 1042 01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:34,159 the longest time, I used to tell people, you know, Wednesday Nights 1043 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,480 was the one wrestling show I had to watch live. So there's like I 1044 01:03:37,599 --> 01:03:43,199 can catch on replay or I can next day see this, get to see 1045 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,559 some YouTube clips or whatnot. But now I'm like, man, I need 1046 01:03:45,599 --> 01:03:49,920 to see what's going to happen on Monday. Like I I that's going to 1047 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:54,960 be my premium watching now and I'm excited for that. On a odd note, 1048 01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,719 I think this goes down as the first ww event where we saw a 1049 01:04:01,079 --> 01:04:08,039 contracted a W employee in the ring. Who is in the ring? Negative 1050 01:04:08,079 --> 01:04:17,559 one? Right, you technically saw a contracted ae W employee. Oh right. 1051 01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,840 That that's a great loophole. That's that's fantastic. You know, that's 1052 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:26,440 great. And you know what, I love wrestling fans, even their most 1053 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,159 happiest moment, they can still sometimes just be bitter fucks. The fact that 1054 01:04:30,239 --> 01:04:31,840 Bruce Pitcher when he started to walk down, some people booed. It's like, 1055 01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:36,639 man, it's just everyone celebrated Cody won him down there. We didn't 1056 01:04:36,639 --> 01:04:40,480 even talk about that triple H. That Triple H fully nighted him. That 1057 01:04:40,719 --> 01:04:43,719 was like, to me, it is like Cody's his guy, that this 1058 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,000 is the you know, Vincent Austin, not the feud wise, but I 1059 01:04:46,079 --> 01:04:49,199 mean, like that's gonna be his star for the next Cody says he's not 1060 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:53,400 retire at forty. I think the age is forty five. That's seven years. 1061 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,400 To me, that's like three years to be the guy, three years 1062 01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,679 to put over a new town, and then one year to do this sendoff. 1063 01:04:58,719 --> 01:05:00,679 And I'm not saying he has to go by forty. I'm just saying 1064 01:05:00,719 --> 01:05:02,679 like that to me is like a guy be on top at seven years, 1065 01:05:02,679 --> 01:05:05,599 Like Stone Colb was only on top for like three and then he got injured. 1066 01:05:05,679 --> 01:05:09,480 Right. It's like not saying the shelf life, but like wrestling is 1067 01:05:09,519 --> 01:05:13,239 tough, so it's not like him being past forty as a oh man, 1068 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,440 that's only a few years. It's like, no, like some of the 1069 01:05:15,519 --> 01:05:17,599 best were only on top for even rock, Like I'd say he got his 1070 01:05:17,679 --> 01:05:20,480 hottest, hottest at ninety nine and he was out of there at oh two, 1071 01:05:20,679 --> 01:05:25,000 you know. So it's just like in our minds because we used to 1072 01:05:25,119 --> 01:05:27,920 watch it weekly, it feels like so much longer, but really it was 1073 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,880 a couple of years and then there's a new top guy, right, So 1074 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,079 I feel like even if we were to retire at forty, that's still two 1075 01:05:32,119 --> 01:05:35,000 to three years from now. That's enough time to be the guy set up 1076 01:05:35,039 --> 01:05:39,599 new people. And if you look at fucking NXT, they got to crop 1077 01:05:39,679 --> 01:05:42,880 a really good people come their way, Like look at Trick and Carmelo already 1078 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,000 like that too, right there, that's like a one a one B of 1079 01:05:45,079 --> 01:05:48,599 guys that could be the next gen. Right so I think, and we 1080 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,639 reviewed anxst T. You can go check that out previously this morning. But 1081 01:05:51,719 --> 01:05:55,800 that's why overall, in general, I think they just they hit a home 1082 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,119 run and wherever the ball went, they ran. They hit it again and 1083 01:05:59,239 --> 01:06:01,079 hit another home run. Like they just they they cleared. And that's saying 1084 01:06:01,119 --> 01:06:04,079 the same thing. The last point is not every Ron SmackDown is gonna be 1085 01:06:04,119 --> 01:06:06,840 amazing, not every match is gonna be amazing, but if you can get 1086 01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:12,039 the overall package to be send people home happy or intrigued, then that's what 1087 01:06:12,159 --> 01:06:14,320 you gotta do. And yeah, Sam, like that thing when you said, 1088 01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:15,880 you know, make you want to start watching, I would say, 1089 01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,559 next Raw, give it a shot. I'm not sure if you've watched, 1090 01:06:18,559 --> 01:06:20,920 We'll go back and watch wrestle meanings. But and this is like I said, 1091 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:24,679 coming from me that I stopped in twenty nineteen. I went cold Turkey. 1092 01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,800 I said I'd watched like the Big Four or five, maybe a pay 1093 01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:30,039 per view if it intrigued me. Before Cody came back, like I'd say, 1094 01:06:30,079 --> 01:06:32,559 give a chance, because it does feel I'm not saying everything's perfect, 1095 01:06:32,599 --> 01:06:35,320 but it feels like they are. This does feel like the beginning of something 1096 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:39,360 new, which is very exciting to be because that I haven't I don't know 1097 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,679 when that's God, I don't know last time that really happened. You could 1098 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,760 argue I guess twenty one with Batist and Sina, I guess that is. 1099 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:47,599 But like I was so young, I didn't have that cognizant like we talked 1100 01:06:47,599 --> 01:06:49,960 about before with Brian and other things. It wasn't a new era that was 1101 01:06:50,079 --> 01:06:53,320 just, hey, this guy's shamp for a bit. This feels like this 1102 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:59,760 is something different. Wrestling feels fresh again. It feels absolutely fresh. It. 1103 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,800 It also feels like which is the best example, because what you don't 1104 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,360 want, you don't want. Hay watched wrestling, and then there's like you 1105 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,840 watch wrestling. It does like I know the Rock has said it, but 1106 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,280 it does feel cool again, and I'm not saying like, oh sorry, 1107 01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,360 I'll take that back. WWE feels cool again. There's been times where New 1108 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:19,840 Japan aw wrestling has been cool, but WWE hasn't been fully cool in many 1109 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:24,079 years. They've had cool things and cool superstars, but to be overall, 1110 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,119 there was always a sense of man, Yeah, they got a lot of 1111 01:07:27,199 --> 01:07:29,920 bad stuff going on there, and it's because the guy was ripping up scripts 1112 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,719 like two minutes before showtime. You can't plan them that way, you know. 1113 01:07:32,239 --> 01:07:35,880 So, yeah, this was a fun weekend. I think s Pubsy 1114 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,480 couldn't be here for this one, but he'll be on the next episode whenever 1115 01:07:39,559 --> 01:07:42,159 we do that. Thank you do for we just did the first episode a 1116 01:07:42,159 --> 01:07:45,400 couple of weeks ago, but I thank you for joining me for this one 1117 01:07:45,519 --> 01:07:47,360 and then the one earlier. This was lots of fun because this, for 1118 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:51,320 me, I'm much more enjoying having you guys to talk wrestling with on air 1119 01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:55,639 and talk about theories and stuff, and yeah, this was this was a 1120 01:07:55,679 --> 01:07:59,159 good time. Yeah, no, I definitely agree. It's it's good to 1121 01:07:59,639 --> 01:08:02,639 get my full thoughts out there with someone else rather than just blowing up Twitter. 1122 01:08:03,039 --> 01:08:04,920 Oh yeah, Twitter, or bottle up. And before we go, 1123 01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:12,719 I will find the final ranking. SBUB has the score somewhere for our draft. 1124 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,599 I forgot to update this this morning, but I will update. Uh 1125 01:08:15,359 --> 01:08:18,479 where is it? There's a point by somewhere. But at least, David, 1126 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:23,680 you had a very rough night one. Night two was good for you 1127 01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:27,239 because Damien got that cash and so Damien I think saved you. I think 1128 01:08:27,359 --> 01:08:29,720 S Pubs is in the lead right now. I have to find. Oh, 1129 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,359 here it is. So it's oh ahad no, I just found the 1130 01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:35,680 same time you did. Yeah, So it's S Pubs in first place at 1131 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:40,079 thirty eight because he did Cody in two mains. He had coded in the 1132 01:08:40,159 --> 01:08:44,319 toil. He had a lot of people and tonight myself at thirty at second 1133 01:08:44,359 --> 01:08:46,560 place and David at twelve. But that is good considering you were like negative 1134 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,760 eight at one point. Like, I think that's a really good place to 1135 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:53,680 be where at one point you were you were looking it was a rough night 1136 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:57,199 one Again, we're going until we've decided to elimination chamber. That's gonna be 1137 01:08:57,239 --> 01:09:00,479 the end point because not ener rospect and so we got you know, this 1138 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,920 is the first week out of the fifty two years or fifty years or fifty 1139 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,960 years fifty weeks. But uh yeah I was. I was happy with my 1140 01:09:06,039 --> 01:09:09,479 people, but yeah, Damien got he brought you back, you know. 1141 01:09:10,119 --> 01:09:13,840 Yeah, And I just need Damion to rock that thing for a while and 1142 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:18,319 they need our truth. Not a night one lost and we're all wrestleman Drew 1143 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,880 or a fresh seam punk. He's like, oh, I'm cleared. And 1144 01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:26,239 then GTS one, two three. Yeah, if you're going to lose to 1145 01:09:26,359 --> 01:09:31,479 someone, I need to lose to someone else on my list. That's what 1146 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:35,039 we're all hoping for. So yeah, the competition has begun, the draft 1147 01:09:35,159 --> 01:09:38,720 all of them points here. We will see what happens.
