Fuck, I don't even know where to start. This was another reason why
we last week and I almost did just an Oscar this fucking hair. I
almost did just an Oscar wrestling cast. I just didn't get around to it.
It's tough. It's it's one of those things where as I said,
life's busy, the filming is busy, and as we've said, anytimes,
I have no problemmitting it. We'd you know, CPMs and downloads and suffered
down episodes don't you know, make as much as they used to, especially,
So it's just one of those things where it's like before I could have
the time, and then you know, say, okay, well I can
make this time because I can make this amount. If I don't make the
same amount, it's hard for me to set that time aside. Right.
So that's why I always do a trest. Told you love doing it,
but you know it goes and ebbs and flows depending on viewership and CPMs and
CPM's brutal for the past few months. I'm hoping super Bowl kicks that up
and everything. Hunter Iggy, you can go back to the beginning I talked
about Supergirl. I don't care about any of the backlash. It's I get
why people liked Kaye, but it's a new universe and you move along.
It's I don't know, it's it's just like a geek controversy thing. It's
nothing that's to me actually serious. I put energy into actual controversies, like
the one're gonna talk about Vince not with oh Sasha's out and bub blah.
It's like, I don't you know it. I know people might make the
opinion like, oh, well they cast Latina actress. It should be that
way. If you feel that way, great, I don't the same way.
I can feel Super could be black or Pakistan or Australia and like'ious now,
but like this character to me doesn't matter. I don't think they're staking
a step back for it. So anyways, big man, is that where
I started? I started McMann do, I started rumbled, I started punk.
I feel like I'm gonna have to rapid fire this stuff. Netflix still
happened last week. Interesting see how that plays out. Very interested with the
deal having that like at five years, we could cut you, but then
at ten years we can hold you on for ten years. I'm very curious
to see Netflix is the big fish that's the way to go. But I'm
very curious to see what is a streaming What is a show like RAW that's
been on the air for thirty years at the same age as me, that's
usually at least had around two million people. I'll say two million because people
watching out for the fact, but at least two million, sometimes you know
multiple million attitude air. I think they're close up in the tens and stuff.
You know, like wrestling, whatever you think about it, tons of
people watch it. What happens when you take a show like that that's been
consistently there and take it off the air for even half a decade, Yes,
the wrestling audiences will follow, but do you get less of exposure?
Do you get less of the random LOOKI loo coming in and tuning in?
I don't know. For me, it's great because we're gonna get in Canada
Raw SmackDown on the pay per views, and I think even a next see
perfect deal for me, Like that's great. I'm very curious how it's gonna
go smack Down still on TV. I know they're probably gonna make up some
mumbo jumper like the most watched sports thing or live content on Netflix. A
the who knows that I'm watching with open eyes. Uh, they span it
as like I know, if people try to spin as like if they doubled
their deal. They didn't double the deal. They went up like twenty or
thirty percent, which is still good, but they tried to spin it as
you can see stock going down multiple times. People snuffed that out. Stocks
going down for all the reasons too. And I guess I'll wait to that
part at the end because if there's any people that don't want to listen to
stuff about sexual assault or anything like that, that's your time to tune out.
So I'll let you know, of course. So that's your trigger warning.
Excuse me. So that's interesting. The Netflix part, rumble, I
thought it was a good show. They're not a great show. I don't
and that's fine. They don't need to have great shows right now. I'm
not saying you can't, but like it's it was not bad enough for one.
Oh my god. To me, AW is a situation where okay,
ratings are a little ratings go back and forth. At AW they are not
having a million things, but they're sitting at that like eight fifty to nine
hundred, right, but they're tenants they gotta build some better shows booking wise,
excitement. Why so that's where I say, hey, paer View,
you gotta kill it right. You're in a stage where you got to kill
it and make good decisions. WW could afford some fumbles, and this wasn't
even a fumble. This was just a solid, overall good show. The
Women's Rumble I think was great from nineteen and on. I think the beginning
had a lot of sloppiness, whether it was miss spots or just there's certain
people that are maybe like Maxine Dupre, where it's like, ah, you're
just not at this level, and it sticks out when you're in the Rumble
and you gotta do these type of spots. Jordan Grace, I purposely got
off Twitter for the wrestling side, I think the day before because I started
to see the whole like, this is who's backstage, this is who's there.
There's so little surprises in wrestling. I like to be surprised. So
Jordan Grace, the TEENA champion coming in and being in that that was really
fun and she looked fucking great. She looks so great that I promise you
WWE will sign her win her contracts up next summer, she looked better that
she had a great showing, and she looked better than I wouldn't say majority,
but at least half of the talent the w had, And she has
an impressive look. Yeah, I've not seen a bunch of wrestle. I've
seen enough. She's good, but there's just something now where it's like,
man, she feels like she's just fully put together. So I'd love to
see that in the future. But yeah, from nineteen on, I thought
they had a lot of good memorable spots. I thought they had a lot
of clever spots. I thought they had a good lot intensity moment things.
Jade Cargill, they fucking hit a home run. You know, she is
already a star whatever people like weird always want to say, oh AW fumbled
her. They made her into a big star. She was like fifty into
Like, if AW didn't book her the way she was, she wouldn't be
in that big highlight in WWE. But she rose to the ability. She
looked a little nervous when she came in, but when she got that ring,
she fucking snapped out of it and delivered. And I hope that her
training and stuff goes well because I think she could be a big star,
and she's great on the mic. She has such a presence. But they
hit a home run. They hit a home run so much to the point
where I thought they were actually gonna maybe give her the win for a split
second, like, man, they might, because what a fun stat that
would be, right first w B Matt to win the rumble. I don't
think that's ever happened. So yeah, no, it didn't happen. I
was gonna say, rondo. I guess she just came out after, so
yeah, it's uh. The women's one was really good. That felt like
if the whole rumble like that, that could have been an all timer.
But to me, it was just the ending. Lots of great spots.
Also dynamics, you know, Live being back is great, Bailly and the
wind very well deserved. I don't know if she's gonna get the main event
WrestleMania. We'll talk about that. I think she should because obviously again we'll
get there rolls and punk is off. That was gonna be the main event
at Night one. I know that. I'm of two minds where we and
Becky was supposedly this was the train of thought, right or the rumor real
fuck rumor mill it was gonna be Rhea and Becky, right, and then
it was okay, Punk's here, so we're gonna do Seth and Punk because
that's the big money match, right for many reasons. And then you know
Punk gets hurt, which we'll get into. But then you gave it to
Bailey. So I feel like they gave Bailey the Rumble win because like,
well, the women aren't gonna even wrestle Anya, so let's give Bayle this
winning and she can go on like second last or something like that. Right.
I bet that's just me speculating. If they knew Rawlins and Punk wasn't
happening, they would have done, uh, Becky winning the Rumble I really
do because then you can say, well, that's the main event. Because
I am old school, I taught about the discord with s pubs. I
like least titles possible. I still wish there was just one world champion.
I know they did the whole because all they needed Seth to have a title
so people are there weekly because Roman doesn't work weekly. No, you know
what they should have done fucking made them lose last year and then Cody would
have been here the whole time. I like the one. I like the
traditional unless there is a major match like Shawn Michaels versus Undertaker, streak versus
career, unless it's something so big Rock Versusina, you have the rumble person
go on last. That's why I'm hoping Bailey gets it. She deserves it.
I think Ria won't do the main event at some point. They've still
not really done a feud program on the main roster with Riha and Beca Bianca.
To me, that is like the Rock and stone Cold of this generation.
For the women. They should have multiple wrestmating matches, so I think
you could mainelevent wrestling with them easily. So Ria, I think we'll get
her chance. So that's why I say give it to Bailey, and it's
like a feel good people love Bailey the same way as last year. The
tag team titles won't last. I think with Night one they can do that.
It's not like a really Bailey. It's like people fucking love Bailey and
guess what her and EO can fucking go. So it's like I have all
the faith in the world that I really hope they get it last. But
I think they'll go to Rie because like Reo hat right now many ways right,
yes, she's always still the thirst being, but just like in all
of wrestling, not just WW, in all of wrestling for New Japan AWWW,
I can at least say she's I think top five for over maybe even
top three those reactions, so I'm hoping she gets it. But either way,
Bailey well deserved fantastic. She's been one of the best. She's held
it down for years with next t with this pandemic era, she deserves that
win. So uh t K stocks going up again bay Mania is a draw.
So yeah, well I didn't see that the stocks were going up again.
So what they yesterday? They took like what was a massive dive and
then what they're going Well, I guess they would go up though, right,
because I remember that chart in the discord it was like they're up here,
and then it was like a big one, So I guess it would
go up. Maybe getting rid of Vince and stuff will start to help.
But uh, I would have loved to see Tiffany hit her moon silt because
it's amazing. But the Swanton is great, says s Bubbs. Yeah.
Even then, though, I still think Tiffany got a really great showing.
I'm less familiar with the new NXT kids. I was a Black and Gold
and then also with the Black and Gold Kevin Owens, Finn Balor like knocking
more. These are people I saw on Wrestle Kingdom. Ro oh, I
knew them before they got there. Where now there's a lot of people where
I don't know or they're just PC hires, right, But I think she
had a great showing. I think she proved like, yeah, she's gonna
be a future play. I'm not gonna talk about any of the other stuff
like Kevin Owens and long Pol's fine. I've actually liked the DQ finished that
that was creative. The Roman stuff I'm over. Even the crowd felt like
they were pretty much over it, like they popped for some stuff. But
we're we're a wave. I know they always talk about like, oh,
we're not on the ninth inning, yet we're way past the ninth inning.
We're overdue, We're an overtime for this story. For me, I'm I'm
personally done with it. The Roman Reigns match now with like that that became
my bathroom. I'm gonna get some food match because I just know what's gonna
happen. And I thought the match was like good enough and it picked up
a little more towards the end, but then they do the fucking solo spot
and it's just like, I wouldn't be mad at the solo spot if they
did it every once in a while, but it's just every match, it's
just so uncreative. It's just so fascinating that you have Hall of Famers,
people that have worked in the Attitude era, and just the every like every
ending is loll solo Soka. You know, it's like cool and that's where
hopefully that happens got Mania and then Cody gets the win. But yeah,
it's just it's lost as juice. It really has from think about last year
when they main invented the show because it had to and they turned on Sammington.
Now they've made way too many errors. I still think him keeping the
title was an error because half of his no, not even half for what
he was hearing. Majority of his storylines were about family, not the titles,
so the title is almost like an afterthought. And then what he has
La nine in this this Fatal four Way, which I didn't watch all this
back. Now watch here and there. I agree with you all that the
lead it was kind of a little disappointing, but I just think it's like
stuff with the Rock, stuff with the USO stuff with Solo, you don't
need the title, and I think that gets it more juicier too. So
I think I'm not gonna say everyone's done, because I know people love Roman,
but I just feel like, more than ever, people are starting to
like, okay, let's let's wrap it up here. So and I'm definitely
at that point again. Cody should have won this year. Cody won the
Man Rumble. I thought the Matter's Rumble was all right. I thought it
was It was a lot of spots of a guy would run in, hit
one big move, and then they just go in a corner and punch of
people. There's people like Carmela Haesa came and did great stuff, but there's
just a few. And even then I remember he did a couple of great
moves and he was on fire and then he got clothesline. They win the
corner. They did a lot of throwing guys into the corner. I felt
like, and I don't think it was the Brock thing like him not being
there because they just get Bron in that spot. There's one where Braun had
a fantastic showing, So it wasn't without its showing. It wasn't a bad
rumble. We've trust me. Twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen, we've seen.
We've seen fucking bad rumbles. They can A bad rumble is the is the
worst. It's not like when I make the joke about pop corner pizza and
sex. It's like, well, you know, bad sex is still good
sex. No, a bad rumble fucking stings. It is awful. It
sits with you for years, you know. So I supposed the Shuy was
in there for twenty minutes and I don't remember anything he did. Well,
Bron was in there for five minutes. I remember all And that's exactly to
the point. I don't share the same sentiment. But online there's a lot
of Jay Whoso's the Iron Man, but I don't remember much he did.
And then people go, well, that's the Iron Man, you're staying there.
I'm of two minds where yes, if you stay in there the whole
time, like the longest, you are the Iron Man. But to me,
the classic Ironman performances are the lots of character arcs in the middle,
and lots of they eliminate or just get like they just almost eliminated and they're
looking fucking exhausted. S pubs. Go watch Shawn's rumble when he won it.
One, Go watch raise rumble when he won it. Two, Go
watch there's one good rumble. I'd have to find the year for you.
But with Ziggler, where it's just like it's that like, oh my god,
like I'm fucking I'm done. I'm even gunther that gun through last year.
That's an iron Man one where Jay he was the Iron Man live more
last year Iron Woman Like that's where it's just like you, they look like
they're fucking dead, where Jay Uso was in there a lot, but like
I unfortunately remember Jimmy More, which that was a great spot when he got
their slaps Jimmy or Jay and then us other USO wants a high five and
gone, they're just fucking pancakes. I'm so good. But anyways, it
just felt like they did not have as much memorable spots and key moments as
the women's did, and even the women's was I think lacking some in the
beginning. So for me, it's not the surprise entrance. I know some
people get disappointed by that. I'm fine with surprise entrances. I don't need
the legends to me legends. I'm like, I'm fine with one in there.
There was years where there was like five to six. It's like,
hey, I don't need to see these sixty seven year old guys come in
here, do a couple moves, get thrown out, like you know,
and the pap mac if you think, like I know, people didn't enjoy
that. I didn't care so much. I don't think you need to do
that. You could throw someone in. But at the same time, it's
not like somebody was going to win his spot, right, So but it
comes down to Cody and Punk, and Cody gets the big win for the
second year in a row. So I do like that stat of, hey,
you know, no one sense and stolen Cold's been over twenty five years.
I thought they had, like even though that was my issue, it
went in final six and then a Final four and then the Final two,
and that's respse. I'm not sure because some people said that too, where
it was just maybe the crowd, some of the people just were tired or
whatnot. It just felt like the hype was not there. Seeing Punk doing
a pedigree to Cody rhose that should have been a fucking huge pop, and
it got like a yeah, you know, like it was did not feel
like the finals of Royal rumblefore what they were doing in the match, and
it just felt like somebody they were just together and they're just fighting. It's
like, hey, where's like the drama here? You know? I feel
like Cody and Punk tried to do that, but he was a little gassed
and he was also injured. So now in retrospect to go, they did
the best they could. I liked the pedigree spot. I liked them not
losing a Dusties kid and then you get tossed out like that's good. I
missed that. We probably could have got like the heels seem Punk, but
we'll get there. As far as thank goodness, he didn't win for multiple
reasons, but yes, Cody wins. The dome stadium's so tall that the
sound doesn't carry a TV base. From what I saw, that is true,
that the sound doesn't ricochet off the roofs. But I'll give you multiple
stadium WrestleManias where there's fucking massive pops and you can hear it. So it's
like the crowds thing was still like even when you like had the CM punk
entrance and like on TV, it didn't really come into like it's clobbering time
felt off. So I just think that people were maybe tired, and I
think it was also just that the final four and six wasn't both the exactly
right way the true back and tire punk spot I really liked. But yes,
Cody gets the win, and Frank says, I still think Cody losing
last year is the right call. Cody is an overall big star now it
worked. I don't think so. I think he's the same, Like I
don't think the loss made him a bigger star. I know people also do
this idea of like, well do they want to take the title off Roman
because WWE is having their their biggest year yet Rome's barely fucking been there,
guy, Like if you also look at them like fucking our truth is moving
the most murdered right now, Like I don't. I think Rome reigns the
bloodline has death last year. I think you make that argument, it's definitely
helped. I think this year from result and out then I think that's like
a lamp shading argument of like, well, you can't take the title of
Roman, and I don't think Cody's big. That's like a and again,
I don't have that answer right because it's it's me playing a WHATF game?
But I don't think so. I think the problem with this is the pop
and the reaction is gonna be less because I was talking about those Chris Evans
on Twitter. The two examples I will use is H HBK and Michaels one
and Rock and Sena one. The when the Rock won, I don't think
nobody. People definitely thought the Rock could win, but I think everyone thought,
okay, rest May twenty eight, the first match scene in Rock Once
in a lifetime, right, well, Scena has to win. He's the
future passing the torch. So when the Rock won, it was a fucking
shock and a huge pop. HBK and Undertaker. I don't think I thought
Michaels would break the streak, but the match was so good it convinced you
jump to the pre The next year is for both of them. It was
a four. It was Undertaker and HBK again, career for a shreak.
Everyone just knew Sean's losing and you can watch that match. The crowd is
not there like the first year Rock versus SNA two for the title sena loss.
The last year everyone knows he's not losing again for the title. The
crowd was not there like they were the year before. So that's where I'm
saying that you can maybe are he's like a bigger start, But I don't
think it's to tenfold. I really don't. People are still singing his song,
people's still buying his merch. Even the past few weeks he's not even
been in the top ten for merch sellers. It's been like punk and archers.
So it's not like man every like he sold a bunch of merch before
and after. I don't think there is a sign where you could do that,
where at least if he gets the title and he becomes the guy,
the full guy, you can go, Okay, he's really a bit start
now. To me, that is the test. I think the only test
that if they wanted to see worked was, hey, let's give him a
loss, which, again, as was talked about this week with all the
Vince shit, the word is that he was going over and Vince stroll up
that week it'sai Ah, let's keep it Roman. So to me, this
is the thing where I know people like the bigger star argument when it's coming
from the idea of Vince and that the rumor was that Cody was gonna go
over and Vince kind of changed shit. Same thing as like many people said
that Monday night Row. After that he ripped up all the fucking scripts and
said let's do this, let's do this. I'm not gonna trust a Vince
McMahon idea. We've seen the much past decade where that can go right,
and I do believe that narrative because it's just they none of the story they
had for Roman had anything to do with the title. Cody squats, squandered
around. You could easily made Brock a title contender, knock him more a
title contender. You could have done a bunch of shit. You had Cody
both brands. So that's why I don't believe, and I don't think it
did make a b star. I feel like it showed that he could sustain
it, which is good, but I'm not on that case. And I
think that's my problem with this year, is he's gonna get the win.
They'll make it special, just like Sean retiring, just like seeing a beating
rock. But I don't think it's gonna have the same oop now. It's
not the same like last year where it's like, hey, we want Cody
to win, but they still might go with Roman and they did a mistake.
In my opinion, that was like that win. Listen to that fucking
crowd. I think if Cody wins, that's one of if not the best
man and resume that crowd. When Cody and Sammy make their Cody, Cody,
Sammy and Koe make the save and everyone thinks he's about to get the
win, that crowd was fucking rocking. I don't know if they can get
there again to that level. I could be wrong, and that's where I
want to be wrong, because I want that for Cody. I don't want
the like one two, three, yeah, yeah, call you deserve it,
like I don't want that. I want that fucking raw emotion, like
this guy fucking did it finally and he did that. But it's kind of
like watching a movie where you know the ending, right. So that's my
thing where I just feel like we kind of wasted a year in my opinion,
I feel like you could have had Cody have a whole year run and
we get Cody and Punk next year. I will I'll leave that. I'll
always have the opinion that they should have took him the title off of him,
because I think both Cody's stories would have been better at the title and
roman stories would have been the same or better without the title. I don't
think you could go either way the pop. I will reserve judgment, but
as somebody that was in the law, I was live there for Seen and
Taker both of them, and I was sorry Taker and Michael's both them and
Seen a rock for both them. I know what the crowds are like,
We'll see it would be a huge pop. If Solo turns on Roman at
maybe I feel like it's leading to that. I really hope not. Fuck
that'd be awful. I don't want Cody unless it's like to equal something else
out like last year where it's like the USO's come out and then Sammy and
Ko come out. That's fine. If it's a one on one match and
Solo decides this is the time to turn on Roman, that's where you'll fucking
make Cody dead in the water. Cody beating Roman by like cheating in a
sense. No, man, that's that's bad shit right there. So I
hope that doesn't happen. I suppose as well, codering to Seth rawlins on
Monday. Roman's not the guy. I'm the guy. Yeah, Seth's just
always gonna be the brides made unfortunate, right, And I don't think that,
oh we already know Roman is catching a rock bottom from a special guest
referee the rock Again. I'm fine with it if other people are cheating,
but if it's just like how people suggested, well, oh, Cody could
win money in the bank, It's like, no, no, no,
no, we needs to beat him as clean as possible. Even then,
I still think that he should still beat him clean and that should be the
end of that story. Finish the story, right, But that's the way.
But yeah, Seth is unfortunates, the bride's made, never the bride.
In my opinion, I love Seth. He's definitely would be in my
top ten of current guys. Just that I well, maybe he wouldn't because
I fucking hate the gimmick. I like the past few weeks that he's been
toning it down, but I don't like joke or Seth. But it's a
put on. It doesn't feel natural, and I think, you know it's
I didn't used to believe this, but I believe sometimes it's just hey,
people like to sing a song, you know, the old school stuff roles.
That's where that shit's at. So Cody wins it, hopefully we get
Cody and Roman. Cody wins. Let's fucking move on and let's like start
this new era up. And I'm very excited for hopefully Cody get his moment.
Now the guy, he's the fucking guy. He's been the guy for
a while. He was the guy. I'm not saying I say he was
the guy before he left WWE, but there's signs of him being the guy,
and they fucked that up, like he is the guy to lead.
I know, people go, oh, well, then when he wins,
they're gonna turn him like Sina maybe. But one, I think he's smart
enough to do some change up things. And two we don't know that because
I think Cody's a very different type of babyface in that universe where Cody got
popular how he is right now. Sina got popular for being an edgy rapper
that's almost radar. And then when he won the title, he became a
PG act very different, right, get the punk torn triceps? Fuck that
sucks. I don't have much to add there. It's just like, I'm
not gonna be the assholes. Let's say it's karma. Yeah, it's one
of these things that he did a bunch of in AW and people say,
well, look what goes around. I'm not gonna say that because I don't
want to wish injury and stuff on people. You know that that's not great.
Uh, it sucks. It's one of these things. I do believe
that he needs to get better. He needs to heal that take as much
time, and you know, people's bodies are their bodies. I'm not gonna
tellhim what to do. But like in two years, he's been injured three
times for quiet surgery. He's had been injured forty one percent of his return
run. That's a sign of his days are very numbered. And it fucking
sucks. You could see the two times he's described that much that I've seen
him is like in the public, I'm sure when people pass away and stuff,
but in wrestling, when what was I gonna say when he came back
for AW, not even when he won the title w when he came back
to aw like debut for the first time there and when he was leaving roh,
he was crying like a baby here and good for him, And that
was almost a little good for me too, because it showed like, Okay,
good, it's not maybe just all both the money, this is something
meaningful towards him, which I still thought so, but you never know,
because I still agree with some people like dies Chica, like sometimes it does
look like he's just not into this, and to me, I think that's
they give him a bunch of bolt points and old Punk will be like,
not fucked, I'm not doing that, but he's playing balls like Okay,
I'll do this, and I just feel like sometimes you can just see that
was my problem with the Cody uh Punk promo last week, that people love
it, just like at times it was still I got hit this and hit
this, and you can tell there was like some stuttering and some awkward space
in between the time. But either way, it sucks for a multitude reasons.
Him and Rollins I think would have been great even if they weren't one
hundred percent the story wise getting there, the story in the match. I
think they would have really delivered. That could easily been matched the weekend just
on a story wise they put in their minds together would have been great.
So huge bummer, and I really hope it happens next year. I agree
with the narrative of have Punk whin the rumble next year him and Cody.
That's a fucking huge match. Make Punk turn on that heel. Shit,
you know you got your moment. I didn't get mine. Whatever you beat
me in the Rumble, I was this close. But yeah, it's a
bummer. I'm always gonna be a Punk fan. But barring nothing really bad
happens. And again, as I said, whatever side you're on, you
can't not emit that like the shit and aw some stuff was bad there,
right, you don't go around like get in fights, especially this age.
It's like come on now, there's some stuff where it's like ah, but
this guy made me, like, you know, fall in love with wrestling.
I'm always gonna support me. He's one of my favorites. So that
was a bummer. I really want him to get that, even though like
again, I'm gonna be that guy. If you're not the main event of
Night two, I don't think you're fully the main event WrestleMania, because that's
still the last match they decided to go and last Sure there's Night one,
but I'm an old school guy. Or last match that's the real main event.
But then I would kind of, you know, break a rule and
say, oh, if you're look at a main event Sasha and Bianca,
that might be the best main event of all time. And that was Night
one, right, so just sucks. And then what do you do with
everybody? And maybe some people are asking questions here, subs, who do
you think is beating gun there? Drew retains against someone at someone saying the
by god seeing Punk's music, Drew McIntire whole ship made him on the way
out. That's good business. Yeah, Drew's on fire. And I have
to think that Drew has a new contract. That's been the rumor that he
doesn't. But like the setup there, like they should keep true. He's
on doing some of his best stuff. I really don't know what they do
here to me if it's I know, people go with Seth Gunther, Seth
Gunther. I think the only way you do Seth Gumph is if Gunther is
going over, and I don't think he would go in my opinion, he
has to lose the Icy title and then you have him go over because I
just think the double champion's weird. I think if he's icing world champion,
I don't want to see him unify the titles. I don't want to see
him lose the Icy title wall he has a world championship, because the person
would be like, why can't I have the world title either? Right,
So I don't know. As puns True doesn't have a contract like MGF doesn't
have a contract. Mgf's is different. Drew's legitimate. People have said,
like last week, like he's not signed as far as they no MGF,
that fucker is definitely signed. So we'll see. But Gunther, I don't
want him in the world title scene until he gets like he gets the fucking
Mega Monster run, you know, and then he doesn't lose till he lose
the title like what Roman's getting now. So I don't think it is Gunther.
I'm not one hundred percent on that though. I don't think it is.
And who do you think would beat him? I think zami Zay is
always a good option because people love Sammy. I think fuck strap the Rocket
to Braun and give it to him. You know. That's the thing where
I get the value. But with Brock, I am just over it,
where like, oh that was Brock spot. It's like, even without those
allegations and stuff, I would have much rather had Braun doing that because he
shine. He's like good new star. You know how fucking Carmelo do it?
Like that's where I am Carmelo Brawn Sammy. I thought Jay was a
good pick too, but I think people are right where Gunther or Jay's gonna,
you know, versus brother and everything. So I thought Jay worked.
So I think there's lots of options on there, but I just don't want
him to have both titles unless they unify them. But I don't also want
them to unify them. But at the same time, they have a lot
of titles, so maybe I don't know. ESB says Night is beating Logan
at MANI unless things really change as people are saying, yeah, I don't.
I don't see. I know people jump to like La versus Seth.
I just don't see that, and I don't and I don't think that's good
for Seth unless they're planning to do at a heel turn, which I think
he'll Seth is better as a heel, I think for the most I'm even
crowd wise. I think the times that he was a babyface, they fucked
up so royally that people are hard to find fall in love with Seth.
And again I feel like they're they're in love with this character of Seth and
not so much like Seth rolls the guy, which you still have to be
a little bit right. So yeah, I wouldn't be I wouldn't be opposed.
I don't want to see the story. I want to see how we
get there first and even gun through too. Like the idea is right that
they're gonna do the chamber and that's who verse. Seth isn't there, like
he has uh visa issues with going there with Perth. So like, I
don't think he is the guy. And Ellie Knight, I'm potentially I like
ell and l A Knight a lot. Maybe Seth needs a break. I
guess it could just be no matter what, it's Damien, but uh,
I don't know. I still wonder if Damien's gonna try to cash and lose,
like our truth is gonna I suppoys just asked that. I think there's
a chance Archer like fucks him up or something. But at the same time,
like Damien, I think you could do something where someone beats set It
depends on Sev's timetal right, if he needs time off, I think you
have seth go in there. He gets beat in the people that beats himmons
a vase, Damien cashes it, and Damian gets like a mini run,
So I think I'm fifty to fifty on him being successful, but I don't
think it's a long run. I think luckily Good Judgment Day has the heat,
so that's good, but I just don't think Priests has the heat.
So yeah, they got lots of options, and I don't think it's like
losing Brock and Punk, which sucks. Will never get Punk or Brock and
gun therap, but that happens. It definitely hurts it. It hurts the
WrestleMania thing from being an even bigger It could have been like a It still
could be an all time right, but this could have been like Night Run,
Rawlins and Punk and Knight to Rowan Cody. That's a fucking that could
be one of the greatest night one Night two's ever. You know. That's
that's all timer and now you can't. But now it's up to the match
quality make it Alzheimer, right, I suppose, says my famorous fantasy booking
as a Damien gets told that money bank two before he has until the end
of the night, and he cashes it in the new wanting Bank contract cashes
it on him. That'd be really cool. I like that, that'd be
fun. They've never done that. They've never done, they've never done they
haven't done an announcement a while, like I'm challenging at this date, So
I would love that. That'd be a really fun idea. So yeah,
it marked me down, sucks for Damien, but I just don't. And
this is why, Like I don't think I've talked about this on these episodes,
but I suppose this is why I just don't like two titles. Because
for me, when I look at priests and I go, oh, yeah,
he could have like a run with the world title, but the w
TA, oh no, he couldn't run with that. That's why I like
one title because to me, the people that should win the one like that
title should not be like, oh he could win a night, lose it,
you know, and not get it back to me. One title is
very important, so we'll see that also has has the briefcase gone for a
whole year if it happened yet? Yeah, I know it has, And
I can't remember what the furthest is. It might have been. It might
have been Edge who won that mania and then cashed it in in January,
like the year after, so I think he was the closest people could fact
check me, but I think he was the longest. Sorry, So yeah,
we'll see, but they'll figure out. That's the good thing about having
a stacked roster is you got lots of options and then e Vin stuff.
I don't know. I don't got lots of ad here because there's not there's
not anything to add, like, it's just as long. Like I guess
if you thought I was a shit person, maybe you'd think I might have
had some hot take to come here and be like, oh, Vince is
in. It's like it's all alleged and it's all gonna either go to court
or probably be settled out of court, so it's not gonna happen. That
sounds like the word on the street right now is, hey, does this
woman decide to go to court and drudge this out? Or does she maybe
take some money in a payout or a settlement, or does Ari Mandel do
that? Right? Ari Emmanuel, that's the name who knows for me is
all speaking in the alleged term. If this was true, it's not surprising.
There had been like many peel a couple of years before, where hey,
Vince has me an open mayor out with Linda. But like some of
the stories we've heard could air on the side where eh seems not great,
right, and it sucked that he came back the first time. I was
purely for years just one of him gone for a creative reason. But this
trump's this in so many reasons, as far as like who gives a shit
about creative and TV? Right? This is someone's life and multiple other people's
likely there's I can't remember the stat it's like a he is twelve to fifteen
million of other NDAs. So it's like there's one NDA in two thousand and
four or two thousand and five to eighty paid for which was seven million now
eleven point five million with inflation bigger than some towns making their whole career.
That's fucked up, Like if you know what this NDA is about and the
other stuff there's it's all bad stuff. It's nothing good. The dynamics aren't
good the way, And again I'm not here to kink shame. You can
read those and if there's some stuff you're into there, that's completely fine.
But it's all about one consent and to the dynamics of the relationship and being
in lawyer and even stuff like the alled showing stuff even though it's not true,
like just saying that, like right there, those texts are really bad,
and that's a good thing in this day and age. You can prove
if texts are faked or not faked, like all that'll come out, and
that's why I think it'll probably just be a settlement. But it is such
a it's a tough thing for me, luckily and not luckily I shouldn't say
that. Unfortunately, with the stuff that came out last year, I've had
some more time to reconcile my fandom, and there's so many people involved and
so much of grown that it didn't like push me away from w B.
It is harder in the sense of like Vince mcmahn definitely was that someone I
looked up to at times as far as like man look what this guy's done.
What a powerhouse, you know, even the shape he keeps himself.
And even though probably as I got older, lord, hey there's some chemicals
there, but this is got I created one of the things I love the
most, you know, like wrestling is up there with comic books that went
Batman. Like. I've been watching wrestling since I was six months old.
I grew up with it. My family is from Calgary. I love Stampede.
They showed me w B. I had fucking birthday cakes when I was
a little kid like that. This so much of the things I love in
my life are based on wrestling, and he created that. And not all
people are all bad, and they're all good, but at the same point,
this is stuff where it's like it can't get the layers. It's so
bad. It's tough to watch, but at least with him, for me,
it's like he's on the background of it. It's tough to Like,
I think Vince's performer was amazing, but now it's like, I don't think
I can watch that stuff the same way, right, especially with some of
the stuff that character does very similar to alleged things this guy has done,
or just the mannerisms, right, so, and then the stuff with Brock
that's not good. And again I was ready for Brock to be gone creatively,
but this is more than that. So you know, if this stuff
is true, you know, fuck him, get him out of there.
And you know they did the right thing, like awestely And at the end
of the day, they're not doing the right thing. They're doing the thing
that's caused by money. Right. They still didn't act until sponsors started pulling
out, don't get wrong. Like same thing to have with the Jericho stuff
a couple of weeks and TK and then this like as much as we want
to love these people, there's still like that's why you can't pull the more
high ground. You can pull the hey, they should have did this better,
this better, But like, hey, for the past whatever year,
if you were paying for the W network or Peacock, so of the money
was going into Vincent Man's pocket. And now all the stuff we know,
and we knew some stuff beforehand. Does that feel good? No? But
do you want to watch the stuff you do? That's tough? Right,
we talk about all the time. Are in the artist? Same thing you
know, Ben Wall talk about many times I can't really watch Ben Wall matches
that was one that hit like And that's where this is at least older as
an adult. So much of this stuff like Harvey Weinstein and stuff has happened
that you're more prepared for it, and not that I'm like, oh,
whatever, I can watch Rustling now. No, it definitely is like augh,
like you know, some of the sauty radio stuff that happen was like
oh like like sometimes there was times like can I watch this? But there's
other people that you hope that are not even if they knew some knowledge to
know the vast how bad it was, And there are other people that didn't
know for sure, didn't know right, So you don't want everyone just to
go down and lose their jobs and stuff. So it's not a black and
white situation, none of it. Like I know people want Triple h just
head after that press conference. Did he bungle it up? Absolutely? You
don't open up was saying, oh, it's been amazing, Like no one
has a man like this, Like this puts such a black mart on the
industry the way that if McMahon's gonna be like ben Wall, but they're already
moving from the website and like stuff like that, like the fact that the
name McMahon, you could say that and it's having black cloud over it for
a very long time. That's not good because that's the guy that crazed WW
made wrestling as big as it is. Not saying wrestling wouldn't be around,
but he took it to another level. That's not good. It's not a
good week. He should have been prepared. They should have prepared him.
And that's where I will say, not that going after H's head, but
with people saying that he kind of is nonchalant about it, that is a
bad thing for whether it's just a vibe back there or if he knew anything,
because people say, hey, and these reports I talk about, how
like the culture and the vibe and the way tre by Jack was very much
like that. And it's tough because he's grown up. He's been in that
for so many years, right, But it's like I also can't I'm not
gonna say, oh, he knew everything. Yeah again, he said dumb
stuff like I've read the lawsuit, But that does it. Either one,
you're lying, and that doesn't make sense because look at the position you're in,
you'd half free lawsuit or two, if you've not read the lawsuit and
you're in the position in how the fuck am I supposed to trust you?
Like it just it was so mishandled, especially when Cody Roads given a better
answer. That doesn't make sense right. But at the same time, I'm
gonna wait for more details, more investigation, more study, because at the
point of if they didn't know, or if they just thought, hey,
he's fucking around on Linda, or they have an only relationship, whatever,
it's not just a business thing for rim Manual it is. But like for
in Frame brings up like Stephanie leaving makes a whole lot more sense. This
is why, and Shane too why For me, I'm not ready to cast
them out of like I can cast out Triple not cast them, but I
can go to back ritrib Jos callments and say, yeah, dude, like
you gotta be more cognizan in the situation. You got to be better about
this. Everybody has to be better about this. Even taking the route of
it's a legal legal issue, I can't mention it. Multiple times, Stephanie
nick Kahn Triple H voted against Vince coming back. They voted him the first
time they vote second time, he just came back. Stephanie left, came
back, left again when her father got back. To me, that tells
you. And I'm not saying like Tinfoil had the narrative of them leaking information.
I don't think that's out of the round possibility. Even Nick con like,
I really don't think that is. We've seen shit like that happen all
the time. We'll never know. But them voting against him and then steph
leaving, coming, leaving coming, that shows that either they did know and
they just want to matter, which you can argue all day about the morality
of that, and that's like a whole different conversation, or just even know
that something was up and they didn't know the vast degree, but just who
someone' up and they want to get a fuck out of there. To me,
that at least shows some way they were trying to push back. It's
a multi billion dollar corporation. People's jobs are online, your career. I
get that they couldn't just maybe do something, make a move right, You
have to do stuff like this, perhaps go behind the scenes. But to
me, the public displays of leaving and voting against them, to me,
that's where I'm like there's signs of like they're not like endorsing this. They
were just standing by the guy the whole time. At least that's what I'm
hoping for. Right, It's a shitty situation. Man, You're fucking like
even if about half of this is true, this is your dad, this
is the guy who is the grandfather or kids like like fuck man, Like
that's I recommend this movie all the time. If you have never seen it,
go watch. We need to talk about Kevin. It's till Swims as
a miller. That's when I fall in love with their career at time and
not so much now. But I thought this actor, they got it.
It's and it's like minors spoilers, but I think it says in the synopsis,
I think it's just the way they showed in the movie. You might
not know right away. Till Swinen plays the mother of a child who does
like a school shooting, and it is about how the fuck do you go
on like you got the scarlet letter everyone like you're the mother of the kid
that took a bunch of people away from us. Now, this is not
that same amount of it, right, and it's not the same as a
mount as ben Wah, But like, if this stuff is true and more
stuff comes out, or if it's proven true, or even if it settles,
it's like and there's been enough of it now to come out where just
people are gonna resort to this is true. You physic man would need the
biggest smoke his gun to prove its not being true. So if it is
true, it's just like you got that last name and now it's just like
hopefully people look past and just go and they will time. I hate to
say this, the sooner Vince dies people will move on. The more Vince
is alive and stick it around, that cloud will stay around and it will
remind hey, you're Vince's daughter, you're Vince's son, or you're Vince's grandson
granddaughter. When he's dead, people will tend to move on. So it's
not good. Luckily again for them, they got lots of money, lots
of them can hide. Their kids aren't gonna have the same type of schooling
that our kids would have and stuff where it's like they had to go to
school. They probably did, but at the same time they could have skipped
today or go to private school. Not saying that's ideal your grandfather should up
puting that situation. But yeah, it's just it's not good. They made
this smart move, but it was a business move. I don't know if
they would have made it if people didn't pull out. But and now he
has really no way to get back in. Never say never, because it's
a crazy fucking place, right, and maybe something goes his way. But
I hope it's just moving on time. I hope there is an investigation,
and I hope there's more done. And I hope even if it is so
as a triple h and Stephanie, as far as hey, even if it's
a mistake, even if it's like, hey, I learned this, I
didn't know what to do. I knew it was going on. I didn't
know what to do because it look at this is my last point, and
this is where again, where I go. It can't be black and white.
Where Tarantino. It's the same thing with Winstein, where didn't know a
hundred but he knew enough that he feels like a piece of shit, and
Warrantley is a piece of shit for not doing anything to help those women.
Right, But at the same time, the dude has said, I didn't
know how bad it was, and I have so much regret for that I
should do this, this and this, but I didn't, and I was
a coward. And he said that many times, like I just I don't
know if it's a coward, but he's pretty much the equivalent that, right,
tarant Hee's different the directories, oh Man, and I would understand if
anybody triple A Stephanie Shane, right, even wrestlers knew some of this,
and they'd say, hey, this happened, I knew it, didn't know
what to do, fully regretful. Do you accept paulogy do you accept forgive
this? Maybe that comes up to the I beholder think it depends the situation.
But at the same time, if they also went, hey we investigated
this, you did this. You put an employee in a dangerous spot,
especially with Vince saying he knows somebody that makes problems and people go away.
In the supposed text, if they got to let them go, they got
them go, and WW is a big enough and that I think it will
it would survive an initial firing of Triple H Stephanie and no, you know,
Bruce Richard, no previous people social adobuty. I think they would survive
at the start as it went on. I don't know, that's a that's
a whole different conversation. So but I hope that the right amount of circumstances
and consequences are done. And it's it's that situation. It's just shitty.
It's not a good place to be, especially as a wrestling fan, as
somebody that grew up with his product grow Vinzigman on my TV weekly for many
years and loved his character, loved the performance. It sucks, you know,
it does suck if majority of this is true, if any of it's
true, actually, because there's a lot of bad stuff in there. So
yeah, not a positive note. It's going to change the landscape for a
while. TRIPLEA. She needs to work on that pr and uh, yeah,
that's true. I has told you went longer than I thought it was
going to go. But thank you very much for tuning in. When you're
hear from me next, it'll not be boring, see ye
