It was like 40 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.960 yesterday that we were staying up all like for like 41 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.919 an hour listening to Triple. 42 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.400 H and his whole of themes. 43 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:25.120 Mm hmmm from that time till now, It's crazy how 44 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.560 time flew so fast.

And yeah, I'm just very excited too for 48 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:49.120 this weekend. Despite everything that's has transpired the past week couple. 49 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.840 Yeah, a lot has transpired. But the one reason I 50 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.919 wanted to do an episode this week was because of 51 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.319 the fact that I wanted to sort of start off 52 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.960 talking about joyful moment mins that WrestleMania has brought to 53 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.000 both of our lives, because we have mentioned since you 54 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.680 have started hosting how certain WrestleManias are very special to 55 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.000 the both of us. And then of course because I 56 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.439 started watching wrestling a little bit, you know, before you did, 57 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.279 there's a lot of great moments that I did want 58 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.560 to highlight and mention and just talk about and enjoy. 59 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.439 Because Russellmania is also my favorite pl E slash pay 60 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.560 per view. It became my favorite, I would say around 61 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.959 nineteen I did not watch Wressemania nineteen Live. I watched 62 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.959 the DVD after the fact because my dad purchased it, 63 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.680 and so just getting to watch the grandeur and spectacle 64 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.079 of that one because it was in Safeco Field and Seattle, Washington, 65 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.079 where I have relative shout out to them, my auntie 66 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.720 and my cousins, you know, getting to see that grandeur 67 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.199 and everything just really exposed me very early to how 68 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.120 amazing WrestleMania could be. So it's it's a very important 69 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.680 event to me, and it's also important to the lifeblood 70 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.959 of the Hardy Wrestling podcast as well, with being able 71 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.519 to attend last year as media and just being able 72 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.639 to attend various other ones as well that we will 73 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.879 get into. But to start the show off, I wanted 74 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.720 us to share our top five with some honorable mention 75 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:26.120 WrestleMania moments, because of course, if you were to have 76 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.319 a top ten or top fifteen, we would be sitting 77 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.759 here for hours and hours and hours, and you know, 78 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.680 we don't necessarily have that type of time. But I 79 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.920 wanted us to discuss, you know, just some moments that 80 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.839 we hold very dear and near to our hearts when 81 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.160 it comes to this time of the year, because it's 82 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.480 a spectacle. It's the show of shows, It's the showcase 83 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:52.040 of the immortals. You know, this is our super Bowl, 84 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.439 And because it's wrestling fans in Super Bowl, there's so 85 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.879 much love and so much passion that you know, bring 86 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.439 all of us together, whether it be wrestling fans that 87 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.120 are just casual who had not watched in a while 88 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.360 but are still exposed to everything due to the nature 89 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.319 of wrestling fans being all over the place, you can't 90 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.000 really escape them this time of year, or the die 91 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.279 hards like us who watch it all the time every week, 92 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.720 you know, day in day out. We're a part of 93 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.120 the culture, or you know, just anybody who just want 94 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.439 to be curious and just look at it.

Oh my gosh. 173 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.000 Yeah, it's it's It's an amazing moment for sure. It's 174 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.960 something that I made mention of when I was working 175 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.759 with Daily DDT a few years back, and I wrote 176 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.600 an article about Mantes Forn and Bianca Bella when they 177 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.480 had that reality show and he lifted her on his 178 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.720 shoulders after she won the SmackDown Women's Championship. In this match, 179 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.039 I felt like that was low key akin to win 180 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.240 Macho man Randy Savage, uplifted a Miss Elizabeth, And of 181 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.159 course I know their relationship was different, but at the 182 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.919 same time, it's still a WrestleMania moment, and just the 183 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.559 idea of the emotion, like you mentioned, the authenticity of 184 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.559 all of that alone is what makes this moment great, 185 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.399 aside from the match already being spectacular in and of itself, 186 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.519 because of how excellent these women were and how they 187 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:53.320 performed the emotion surrounding the importance of it and the 188 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:58.960 authenticity of that is something that rings true forever. It's 189 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.639 just I'm so happy to have experienced this. I was 190 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:09.639 a year and some change in to being a wrestling journalist, 191 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.039 to a degree a podcaster, and to see this, I 192 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.120 was a part of a watch along and to see 193 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.480 this happen, it was very beautiful. And I didn't cry 194 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.039 until the very end, so like, I held it together 195 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.759 on camera until Bianca one and I just started sobbing 196 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.559 because I just could not believe, you know, what I 197 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:30.679 had seen, and I had watched this match back so 198 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.840 many times. But I love the moment between Beionca and 199 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.559 Mercedes just looking at each other knowing that this was 200 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.159 a glass ceiling that they were breaking. Yeah, and I 201 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.720 will always be grateful for that. There are black women 202 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.559 who are new to the business who or who are 203 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.440 at least fairly new to the public when it comes 204 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:53.440 to wrestling, who you know, cite this match as their inspiration. 205 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:58.759 And it's beautiful and it always will be beautiful. And 206 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:02.080 I'm so happy that you chose as a part of 207 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.679 your honorable mention. So yeah, yeah, and I can't leave 208 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:06.000 it out. 209 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.559 I couldn't. Of course not, I wouldn't feel right to me. 210 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:15.600 And you mentioned the moment between montees Ford and Bianca 211 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.960 Bella Air and comparing that to Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth. 212 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.879 Oh my god, Oh so when I so, when I 213 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:29.759 watched every single WrestleMania last year, I watched that WrestleMania 214 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:35.080 and when that moment happened, the tears that streamed down 215 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.840 my face. Oh my god. Yeah, one of the one 216 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.039 of the most beautiful, raw emotional moments I have ever 217 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:51.039 witnessed as a wrestling fan. Oh my god, I didn't 218 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:52.639 know that actually a couple. 219 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:56.919 Yeah, they were a couple. And then and then, of course, 220 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.840 you know, it had everybody in the crowd invested as well, 221 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.559 because you know, Macho Man had really started smelling himself 222 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.639 as the King and the ring and you know he 223 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.639 was he had sensational Sherry, you know, by his side, 224 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.919 and you know, and Elizabeth just couldn't take it anymore, 225 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.080 and she was kicking him down and she and Miss 226 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:17.279 Elizabeth lifted him up and took him back. That was 227 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.200 just a very very heartfelt moment in the lore of WrestleMania. 228 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.639 So when you think about couples, you think about them too, 229 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:29.440 and it's just looking at Montees and Bianca as a 230 00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.200 beautiful couple in that way and seeing him support her 231 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:34.960 in that way. It was very important. Even though you 232 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.200 didn't see an on screen, you saw the pictures later 233 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.120 and it was just very beautiful. So there was a 234 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.840 lot of authenticity, a lot of love all around for 235 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.960 this moment, and it's something that Bianca continues to cite 236 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:52.039 even as Mercedes has moved on to other great ventures elsewhere. 237 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.879 Bianca still cites this as one of the greatest moments 238 00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:04.000 of her career. And I love that. So we love it. Oh, yes, absolutely, 239 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.679 because black history is something that's important to Bianca as well. 240 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.720 So it was it was just all fantastic. So I'm 241 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.519 happy you chose this. So moving on to the proper 242 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.960 number five, this is this is one that's special to 243 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.039 the both of us for various reasons. Your number five 244 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:29.200 was WrestleMania twenty seven in Atlanta. So I'll talk about 245 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.559 how important this is for me. Even though this is 246 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.679 your moment, it's important for me because even though critically 247 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.559 a lot of people say online and this is one 248 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:43.519 of the worst WrestleManias that's ever taken place. I don't 249 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:47.000 like it either, because this was actually my very first one, 250 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.200 because this one took place in Atlanta, Georgia. And of course, 251 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.480 for those who are new to the Hardy Wrestling Podcast, 252 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:58.320 I am from Birmingham, Alabama. I'm from the South, and 253 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:02.080 if you're from Birmingham, Atlanta is historically just two and 254 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.720 a half hours away. So when they first announced that 255 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:07.559 this was going to be in Atlanta, me and my 256 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:09.640 dad and my sister were like, we were all in 257 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.640 according and said we were going over there. That's the 258 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:16.400 closest WrestleMania has been to us, next to Florida and 259 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.160 also next to New Orleans. So we were just like, Okay, 260 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:20.920 so we're gonna go. We're gonna go, We're gonna go. 261 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.599 And this was also the last pay per view and 262 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:25.400 actually the last event I was able to go to 263 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.200 before I graduated high school and went to college. So 264 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.519 this was a huge deal to seventeen year old Stephanie. 265 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.440 She this was huge for her. We had always talked 266 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.319 about wanting to go to one, and this was the 267 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:40.880 closest that it was gonna be. We it was there. 268 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.759 We drove that Sunday, we went to church that Sunday 269 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:47.799 and then drove over to Atlanta and this was in 270 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:51.920 the Georgia Dome and The Rock was hosting it. He 271 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.240 was the host and John Cena and the miss were 272 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.880 the main event for the w W Championship. Sadly, the 273 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.799 Devas Championship was not on the card, even though Eve 274 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:07.039 Torres was a champion and she was there. The Undertaker 275 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.720 in Triple H fought one more time, even though they 276 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.079 fought after that. The next year, they fought this first 277 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.759 time and the Undertaker came out to that Johnny Cash. 278 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:20.440 Song I'm gonna talk about that. 279 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.160 So yeah. And then John Cena's entrance was also with 280 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:26.640 a choir, but before that choir, he had one of 281 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:32.200 DMX's prayers playing with a montage that he had which 282 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.079 is so beautiful, which was really beautiful if you were 283 00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:36.640 to go back and watch it. And I know last 284 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.759 year when I went to Mania in Vegas, they were 285 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.559 actually playing that moment and the choir with John Cena's 286 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.839 entrance throughout the arena in w W E World, So yeah, 287 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.880 it was pretty chills inducing. This is also where Snooky 288 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.079 made her in ring debut as well. Due to the 289 00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:00.720 fame of Jersey Shore so it was definitely a product 290 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.880 of this time, and it's not one of the perfect WrestleManias, 291 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.720 but at the same time, it's still one that I 292 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.039 hold close to my heart simply because I was there 293 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.599 with my dad and my sister and it was my 294 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.440 very first resumator that I got to attend. So, Bianca, 295 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.559 why did you choose this as you're number five? 296 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:23.240 Well like you like you. WrestleMania twenty seven was is 297 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:28.039 actually the first Russmenia I ever watched. And I didn't 298 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:30.880 watch it live because I was a broke ninth grader. 299 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:34.839 I actually watched it if you were a teenager, so 300 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:36.319 it's okay. 301 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.440 Was actually I actually watched it. I found a website 302 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.400 that had it in clips, so it took me so 303 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:50.519 like I watched it in clips. So but before that, 304 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:54.400 oh my god, to twenty one eleven holds a special 305 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:58.039 place in my heart because that was when I first 306 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:04.000 saw the Undertaker and Triple Ah and that and that 307 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:12.680 whole segment was like, I know how big the Undertaker is. 308 00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:18.960 Was I know that name, but I've never seen him, 309 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:23.759 but I know who he is and the lore of 310 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:28.160 the Undertaker. I've never seen tipple h I never knew 311 00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:37.400 of Triple H but until that video, until that moment, yeah, 312 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:46.039 and then that everything about that was, Oh my god, 313 00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:49.079 it was so cool. I've never seen anything like that before. 314 00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:54.240 That face off was my loss girl with my wallpaper 315 00:20:54.759 --> 00:21:02.039 in nine Triple A just ponytail and just slick care 316 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.119 of the Undertaker. Oh my god, I love that. It 317 00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.799 was my wallpaper. I loved this so much, and that 318 00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:13.039 was and when I weren't and when that that countdown 319 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:20.359 and the Undertaker, before the Undertaker came hearing Ain't No Grave, Yeah, 320 00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:26.119 I think that solidified my love and stand ship for Yeah. 321 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:28.119 I mean that's a word, stand ship whatever, get into 322 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:36.119 it for Johnny Cash because eight oh, Ain't No Grave 323 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:42.599 was was I It was so cool that, oh that was. 324 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:46.000 No and that and then not to interrupt you because 325 00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:48.960 the Undertaker even using that song was pretty cool too, 326 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.799 because in the lore of WrestleMania, I can remember vividly 327 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:57.680 watching WrestleMania twenty on DVD and seeing him come back 328 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:01.000 after losing a bird Alive match to Kin and Kane 329 00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.960 thought for sure he buried his brother, all for the 330 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.920 Undertaker to come back at that WrestleMania and beat him 331 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:13.400 in that match, like like in the lore of WrestleMania, 332 00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.720 him using that Ain't No Grave song by Johnny Cash 333 00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.839 was perfect. It was. It was a perfect choice in 334 00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:24.200 whoever made that decision eight because oh my god, I 335 00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:26.559 felt like, honestly, that really just should have been the 336 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.920 Undertaker's theme song from that point on. But you know, 337 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.880 money and yeah, no, it wasn't like they just used 338 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:35.680 that for that pay per view. But then what's so 339 00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:38.079 funny is if you go back and watch WRESSEMINGA twenty 340 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.240 seven on streaming, it's not I don't think it's that 341 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:43.920 song is featured on there due to licensing and stuff 342 00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:47.359 like that, so and it sucks. But you know, if 343 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.359 you watch it in the moment and if you were there, 344 00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:51.640 you know that that was the song. 345 00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.960 Oh my god, wow. And then before and then I 346 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:00.519 will get to wrest twenty seven. But then that was 347 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:04.359 actually my first time watching That was my first time 348 00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:09.880 watching the Hall of Fame induction ceremony with Shawn Michaels. Yeah, 349 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.839 my first time. It was my first everything and then 350 00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:26.480 just the hip okay mm hmm, went oh my god, I, 351 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:32.640 oh my god, So okay, where was I Okay, yeah, okay, 352 00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:38.200 I'm done. Okay, I think I'm and then when I 353 00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:40.440 I lost my lost Chuck, I was still talking about 354 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:43.880 the Undertaker into the light that but that match and 355 00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:50.200 oh when when the Undertaker walked out mm hmmm, and 356 00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:55.319 then Josh Roberts one of my favorite ring announcers of 357 00:23:55.400 --> 00:24:00.880 all time that I can't and his announcement of the 358 00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:07.920 Undertaker and then just oh my god, and I did. 359 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:10.160 That was my first time. That was the first time 360 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:14.119 I actually like got into the streak and then we 361 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:17.119 get into this I think about this all the time, 362 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.839 the old girl, Oh my god. We talked, oh my god, 363 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.079 oh my god. 364 00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:29.160 Wow, Yeah, John and yeah. All of that was really 365 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.160 great because that was really my first time actually thinking 366 00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:36.440 paying any attention to the Streak too, and just seeing 367 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:40.279 the Undertaker defended and seeing Triple H you know, go 368 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:43.279 after it as hard as he did. Like that match 369 00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:45.799 was very tough, Like it was very tough to kind 370 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.400 of just sit there and just witness at the time. 371 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:50.240 And then at one point it also looked like both 372 00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:52.400 of those men kind of passed out and it was crazy. 373 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.039 Another favorite part that I loved about this pay per view, 374 00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.880 even though. 375 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:01.000 You huh, I have made it mistake. I meant to 376 00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:04.400 say Justin Roberts, not Josh Roberts. 377 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:05.839 Yeah, Justin Yeah. 378 00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:12.119 So yeah, shout out to Justin Roberts. Oh hello, I 379 00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:14.519 love you. Okay, but yeah. 380 00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:16.920 Another part, another match that I feel like kind of 381 00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.920 flies under the radar from Wrestleman in twenty seven is 382 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:27.079 also undashing Cody Rhodes fighting Ray Mystereo, and Ray Mystereo 383 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.720 had this gear on where it was like Captain America theme, 384 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.200 and that was the first time I had ever knew 385 00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.920 about Captain America. So Ray Mysterio is the reason why 386 00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:38.119 I know about Captain America because he cosplays him. Because 387 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.000 every WrestleMania Ray Masterio had been in he has like 388 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:44.559 either a cosplay or a special gear. And that was 389 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:47.039 the first time I'd ever heard about Captain America because 390 00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:48.119 of Ray Mysterio. 391 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:50.160 Yeah. 392 00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:53.319 And then you know Cody Rose, he was undashing. He 393 00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:58.079 was walking around with that mask on and he was 394 00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:00.160 just walking around with the paper bag and everything. I'm like, 395 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.839 oh my God, get away from me. I'm ok, you know, 396 00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:06.119 just being dramatic. And then he won that match in Atlanta, 397 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.519 which is of course, you know, a home for him, 398 00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.400 So that was really interesting and that tends to fly 399 00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:13.799 under the radar a whole lot when it comes to that, because, 400 00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:17.079 like I said, it's it's critically, you know, panned is 401 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:21.480 one of the worst WrestleMania's. But another reason why it's 402 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.680 also you know, sort of looked at kind of funny 403 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:28.640 is because you had John Cena fighting the Miss, but 404 00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.200 then at the same time he had this beef going 405 00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:37.119 on with The Rock, and The Rock was just hosting 406 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:40.839 and every week I think me and my family were 407 00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:43.160 watching just to see if they were actually gonna fight 408 00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:47.119 in Atlanta. All for The Rock to just host the 409 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:50.079 thing and then cross John Cena the match at the 410 00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:53.599 very end and helped the Miss retain, and it was 411 00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.319 just so nuts. And then on top of that, we 412 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.160 got played with because they went ahead and announced at 413 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.079 the once in a lifetime match between The Rock and 414 00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:06.000 Johnson it would happen at the next one in Florida. 415 00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:10.079 I was so, like, I was excited that it was happening, 416 00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:12.680 but I was sad because it really could have happened 417 00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:13.599 for us. 418 00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:13.720 You know. 419 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:19.960 But you know, I mean, it's okay that it happened 420 00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.680 the way it did, but at the same time, if 421 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.960 it had happened in Atlanta. That would have made my 422 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.759 entire life. But it's okay, it is okay, that was 423 00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:34.480 years ago. We're still happy. 424 00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:39.759 But you know, your time is up. My time, it's not. 425 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:44.160 Your time's up, fine time, it's not good. Time is up? 426 00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:47.440 Time y? 427 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.519 Like, oh my god, that that woman was singing for 428 00:27:52.599 --> 00:28:00.720 her life? Okay, maybe, oh my gosh, we need to 429 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.279 find that choir and and see how all those people 430 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:05.920 are even doing like at that point and ask them, 431 00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:09.599 you know what, do they even still watch wrestling or 432 00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:12.359 or had they ever even watched wrestling up to that point? 433 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:14.640 Like there's so many questions I have for all those people. 434 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.680 But either way, that was an awesome entrance. John Cena 435 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.559 did what need to be done the miss His entrance 436 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:24.440 was like awesome balloons and then he came out to 437 00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:28.599 you can Hate Me Now by Nas and that person 438 00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:36.559 who shall not be named, But yeah, Skyler, Oh, actually 439 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:40.599 really like that song what you can Hate Me Now? 440 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:43.039 What's Skyler Gray? 441 00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:46.400 And no that wasn't Skylar, No, that wasn't Skylar Gray 442 00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:50.440 and MGK, you can hate Me Now. The song that 443 00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:53.960 the Mis had his montage to for this one was 444 00:28:54.000 --> 00:29:00.960 by Nas and P Diddy. Oh yeah, yeah, that's like Ara, 445 00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:05.200 That's like a rap classic, like full on, like yeah, 446 00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:09.400 so you're thinking about another WrestleMania, you're thinking about the 447 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:14.920 next one that actually had the Rock and Senes. Okay, yeah, 448 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:16.119 we're still on twenty seven. 449 00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:20.759 Okay, okay, well but yeah, but even though that that 450 00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:23.559 still since that song is not in Wrestling in twenty seven, 451 00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:26.240 one of my favorite songs of all time was the 452 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.279 theme song for Wrestling in twenty seven, and that song 453 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.920 holds a special place in my heart. Written in the 454 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:38.440 Star's tiny tempa, it returns too. Oh my god, that's 455 00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:42.000 like a soundtrack of my high school days hearing not 456 00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.680 on the radio and that being on the theme song. 457 00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:49.400 Oh my god, I used to run to that song 458 00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.279 in college. I can't believe that. Oh my god, what 459 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:58.720 is happening the time? But yeah, Wrestma twenty seven is special, 460 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.519 no matter what anybody says. And I'm still holding out 461 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:05.240 hope for the day they bring WrestleMania back to Atlanta 462 00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:08.079 or back to the South period, because this one was 463 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:11.480 supposed to be in New Orleans, but just plans change. 464 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.680 But either way, here's hoping that Russemania finds its way 465 00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.799 back to the South or even to Birmingham because you 466 00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:21.039 just never know I'm manifesting that from my city whatever, 467 00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:25.000 Yes it will one day. So we moved to your 468 00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:28.359 number four moment, Biaka. This is another special one that 469 00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:30.480 I'm blessed to say that I got to be here for. 470 00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.880 So I'll let you talk about this one.

Wow, 504 00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.119 everything full moves, full circle. I was there for that 505 00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:49.400 last year, and I knew how special this was because, 506 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.400 of course, in the weeks leading up to it, you know, 507 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.400 when they were signing the contract for the Triple Threat, 508 00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.200 Paul told him, look, it's right there. You know you 509 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.200 are a rest Mania main eventor and just seeing Punk 510 00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:06.000 cry about it, like you can tell that even though 511 00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.639 you know he this is a person who has every 512 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:11.639 right to be jaded because he's been through so much. 513 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.719 We know his journey, you know, it's been spoken about constantly. 514 00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:20.360 But for him to have finally gotten to that point, 515 00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.719 I felt like it was a very beautiful moment to 516 00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:27.000 experience as a fan and just as a person. You know, 517 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:28.679 it just lets you know that your dreams are never 518 00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:31.880 far away, no matter how hard you have to work 519 00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:35.719 for them. They're they're never impossible. So to see him 520 00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:41.199 get to that point, and then I'm there sitting in 521 00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:47.239 Allegiant Stadium with everyone impressed, with all the fans and everything. 522 00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:51.320 He comes out and the video starts, so I'm up 523 00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:53.199 top and I'm looking at the video up from up 524 00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:56.159 here and it starts and he's talking and then you 525 00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:59.920 see his journey and you see the old Indie ran 526 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:03.599 and everything else. And then with him talking about, you know, 527 00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:09.679 my addiction is wrestling, and you see everything he's been through, 528 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:12.079 and he talks about how you know this night is 529 00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:14.920 you know, my fire is always burning, This night is 530 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.920 my night, you know, while the music is playing, and 531 00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:20.920 I get chills even just thinking about it. Just sitting 532 00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:24.679 there and listening to the entire Vegas crowd sing this 533 00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:27.000 fire Burns. I didn't know that. I did not know 534 00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:30.920 all those people even still remembered that song, because Culture 535 00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:33.760 Personality has been this man's theme song for so long 536 00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.280 that I didn't even think that many people remembered this 537 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:41.000 fire Burns. But sitting there and hearing everybody sing that 538 00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:44.320 song like that, it was just like, man, it was it. 539 00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:47.800 It was crazy. Everybody was locked in in that moment 540 00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:52.880 that this really was CM Punk's big, big, big, big, 541 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.840 big chance and big moment and big dream coming true. 542 00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:58.199 We were all locked in and on one accord, so 543 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.800 it was magical. It's that Mania magic. And then he 544 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:04.719 comes out, you know, with Living Color, and of course 545 00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:07.519 they've performed with him at Mania before, at Mania twenty 546 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:13.320 nine and that was wonderful, But this time for him 547 00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.599 to have both of his theme songs, you know, in 548 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:17.840 that montage, and then of course with the band playing 549 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:21.559 right there, it was wonderful. It was really, it was 550 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:25.079 really awesome, and I count myself blessed to have seen 551 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:32.440 a legendary black rock band perform that song and that 552 00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:36.519 hit that is essentially going to feed them forever. Yeah, 553 00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:40.280 because because of you know, the relationship they have with Sampunk. 554 00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:42.199 It was a beautiful thing. And then you have Paul 555 00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:46.039 Hayman right there, you know, craziness aside that happened at 556 00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:49.360 that match. You have Paul Hayman right there, who believed 557 00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.480 in him from the very beginning. So it was very beautiful. 558 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.880 And I'm so happy that it came across that way 559 00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:58.119 with people watching and then you know, with me and 560 00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:00.400 then with you know, us being there and everything else 561 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:03.079 like that. I'm so happy that it came across as 562 00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:06.960 very emotional and then watching unreal and seeing him cry about, 563 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:08.800 you know, saying I F and did I F? And 564 00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:11.800 may evented WrestleMania, Like that's one of the things that 565 00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:16.559 he's ever wanted. This man started his ww career writing 566 00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:19.119 on writing with a Tommy gun dressed up as a 567 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:20.639 gangster on johns Dena's car. 568 00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:24.000 Yes, Oh my god, I remember watching that for the 569 00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:28.519 first time. Yeah, and I stopped. 570 00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:36.480 Oh my god, I was sorry that it was We 571 00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:40.039 had no idea then back then, we had no idea 572 00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:44.039 what was on the horizon. But yeah, this is this 573 00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:46.840 is the proof that hard work and dreams can definitely 574 00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:48.960 come true. It may be a delay, but it's never 575 00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:52.280 a denial. Yes, And now he's about to man event 576 00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:59.239 mania again. So double the blessings. Okay, So this is 577 00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:01.639 a wonderful moment, and I'm so happy you included this 578 00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:04.599 because it was about as emotional for me as it 579 00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:07.719 also was for you too. So it was wonderful. I'm 580 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:12.800 so happy to have witnessed this. So yeah. 581 00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:21.320 For you, like when when they hold on, hold on, Okay, okay, 582 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:26.840 so when you when this Fire Burns started to play 583 00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:30.079 and the crowd popped. 584 00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:31.360 And. 585 00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:36.000 Knowing how loud it was, like, how was it? How 586 00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:38.280 was it? Like? 587 00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:44.199 Like it was nuts? It was nuts. It's like you 588 00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:46.800 could hear I guess this is just because of the 589 00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:50.440 way that the stadium is made. It's like, even though 590 00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.519 it was like like over sixty thousand people in there, 591 00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:56.880 it almost it sounded like a roar. But then it 592 00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:01.280 also sounded like an echo at the same time. It 593 00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:04.559 was a roaring echo of everyone singing the song, and 594 00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:06.840 it was just nuts. I have a video I can 595 00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:11.320 send to you later, but that's basically how it felt 596 00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:13.599 to me in the moment. Because I wasn't singing, like 597 00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.519 I was just quiet and just listening to it because 598 00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:19.039 it was just so nuts. It was a roar, but 599 00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.719 it was a roaring echo. That's really That's really what 600 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:23.079 it felt. 601 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:26.519 Like, what's it? It make sense? Like screaming and and 602 00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:28.960 like singing. It was. 603 00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.960 Yeah, it was screaming and singing, but mostly singing. 604 00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:36.679 Oh god, yeah, god. I just like when, like, how 605 00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:37.880 is the screaming? 606 00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:41.320 Well, I can't really specifically say how was it screaming. 607 00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:43.039 It's kind of had. It was kind of hard, but 608 00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:45.960 it was just it was like screaming and singing, so. 609 00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:49.719 Like I can screaming in unis for one interest, Like, 610 00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:51.360 oh my god, oh. 611 00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:55.760 Yeah, every everybody was locked in. It was beautiful. But yeah, 612 00:39:55.920 --> 00:40:01.039 as we moved forward, you also listed a Styles, a 613 00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:06.239 future Hall of Famer as of this weekend, and his 614 00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:09.760 Boneyard match against the Undertaker, which wind up being the 615 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:14.920 Undertaker's final match. I'm happy that you included this one 616 00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:18.320 because this is a part of the WrestleMania. You could 617 00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:21.159 almost say the WrestleMania that time forgot, but not really, 618 00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.159 because this happened during the pandemic and this was the 619 00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:27.320 one where you know, it could have been in Florida, 620 00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:29.599 but then of course the pandemic happens were all shut 621 00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:31.719 down and this was where the concept of the Two 622 00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:36.880 Night Mania began. Yeah, this is the where the concept 623 00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.199 of the Two Night Mania began because they wanted to 624 00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:43.480 continue to create content for people to escape in during 625 00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:46.960 that hard time. And you know, this is the Undertaker 626 00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:50.639 getting this is like his last hurrah, and aj Styles, 627 00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:53.079 you know, wanted to be the person to bury the Undertaker, 628 00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:54.719 but you know, the under Tricker was like, I think 629 00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:59.360 that if not like, you're not gonna destroy me in 630 00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:01.960 my last match, even if you do have the good 631 00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:06.559 brothers with you, forget that, you know. And this was 632 00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:09.840 a cinematic match, which here again it was very interactive. 633 00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:15.440 It helped people get into the things and this is 634 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:19.599 something that I will always appreciate WW four during this time. 635 00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:23.480 And of course here again this was at the start 636 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:29.119 of my wrestling podcast because you know, this is I was. 637 00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:33.000 We weren't expecting any of this, but I do appreciate 638 00:41:33.079 --> 00:41:35.199 all of the effort that was put into giving us 639 00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:39.880 a great show even though things were absolutely different. So Bianca, 640 00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:44.199 why did you pick this moment as your number three? Oh? 641 00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:54.480 My god. Wow, the the production, the story, the oh, 642 00:41:54.880 --> 00:42:03.920 the the drama is so cool. I was. I was 643 00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:08.599 in the middle of editing my thesis while watching. 644 00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:11.000 This. 645 00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:13.719 It was a really weird time. Oh my gosh, I 646 00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:19.000 needed Oh this couldn't have happened at such a better 647 00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:25.360 and a better time. Okay, because like that was that 648 00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:28.880 was really that was I need. That was something I 649 00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:32.679 never thought that I needed, nor that or in something 650 00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:38.599 that I was never expected expecting to see. You start 651 00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:44.519 with you start with the Undertaker on his motorcycle, you know, 652 00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:48.320 And something that you should know about me is I 653 00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:52.039 am a sucker for a man who can ride motorcycles. 654 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:56.599 Oh my god, there is nothing sexier than a man 655 00:42:56.920 --> 00:43:04.239 who can ride a motorcycle, more specifically a chopper. Oh girl, 656 00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:08.880 oh like a bad boy. Oh. And then he just 657 00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:13.880 rolled in and then he got off, and then you 658 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:18.920 and then the camera pans kept him with that music. 659 00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:22.320 What who was playing? I forgot who was playing that rock? 660 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:27.280 I forgot that I've got the band. But when the 661 00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:33.159 camera pans to him, It's like, oh, that. 662 00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:33.960 Was so cool. 663 00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.639 Oh my god, I didn't know what there was. 664 00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:41.639 This is so cool and awesome. 665 00:43:41.719 --> 00:43:44.719 And then a j sat was us his thing, not 666 00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:48.440 what I not what not what I expected coming out 667 00:43:48.519 --> 00:43:54.000 of like the hers and the casket they don't want 668 00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:57.159 That was so funny. 669 00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:01.199 And then mm hmm, yeah he was. 670 00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:02.039 Yeah. 671 00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:07.000 Aj Styles was a world class troll during this entire dynamic. 672 00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:10.760 He really was. It was hilarious how much of a 673 00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:12.440 troll he was, because when he came out of that 674 00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:14.760 cast and I was like, oh my god, this is 675 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:16.519 how I know you're not gonna make it out of 676 00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:20.199 this match alive. They were fighting all over a barn 677 00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:23.800 and fighting with all of it. I can remember, like 678 00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:26.360 fighting with all of this, just the farm equipment and 679 00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:29.320 all of this stuff like it it. It was probably 680 00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:31.960 as good as great as any cinematic match could be. 681 00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:32.960 It really was. 682 00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:37.239 I was wondering before he got thrown into the the 683 00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:44.760 the the ground, before getting buried, I was wonding. And 684 00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:45.599 then he got out. 685 00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:49.679 I was wondy how he got out so fast? I 686 00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:56.440 don't know, man, WrestleMania magic. That was it lie or 687 00:44:56.599 --> 00:45:00.199 was the private pretain? I'm pretty sure it had. I 688 00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:02.360 believe maybe it was pre taped. 689 00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:03.639 I don't. 690 00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:07.480 I haven't seen anything proving it was pretaped, but because 691 00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:10.440 it was a cinematic match. I would have to imagine 692 00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:12.599 it had to be pretaped because I can't imagine anything 693 00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:15.239 like that happening live in the moment. I don't I 694 00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:19.400 don't know. I don't know exactly, so I don't want 695 00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.039 to spread any misinformation, but I would imagine it would 696 00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:23.760 have had to have been pretaped. 697 00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:29.880 But anyway, either way, that the state, the blocking of 698 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:36.880 that match, the production, the drama, and just it was 699 00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:40.840 just it was just phenomenal and fantastic. And then the 700 00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:46.079 Undertaker getting back on his motorcycle after winning and doing 701 00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:50.880 that thing with his logo in purple or that purple. 702 00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:55.159 Right riding off into the sunset. 703 00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:59.239 Yes, and then you can't forget that Ajacys got help 704 00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:01.559 from and Gallows. 705 00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:05.159 And his glove was hanging out of the third after 706 00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:07.840 it was all over, it was a minute before we 707 00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.719 saw Aja after that, like like he didn't come back 708 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:15.880 until maybe two weeks later. I think, if I'm remembering correctly, 709 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:21.039 that was a blur, But that was probably one of one. 710 00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:23.519 It was a really great cinematic match, and I really 711 00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:29.480 appreciated it during this time because there's one thing, if 712 00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:33.920 there's one thing, I I think I'll probably get to 713 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:36.159 and when we talk about the next match that you 714 00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:38.000 put well, not the next one, but the very but 715 00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:42.559 number one. But I really just love the effort that 716 00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:44.480 they put into it, and it was just a nice 717 00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:47.360 way for the Undertaker to kind of just say farewell 718 00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:52.079 to his enring career, because I do believe after that 719 00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:56.159 point he did officially retire and they did put him 720 00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:58.320 in the Hall of Fame afterwards. So this was a 721 00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:01.599 very nice way of just, you know, to cap off 722 00:47:01.639 --> 00:47:03.559 his career, and then to do it with aj Styles, 723 00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:04.960 who was one of the best in the business is 724 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:05.639 really cool too. 725 00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:09.599 I really liked watching the Undertail. I really liked getting 726 00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:13.920 to know the man behind the Undertaker and hearing him 727 00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:21.920 talk and seeing him and his hair and his everything, 728 00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:28.039 just him, no costume, just that at. 729 00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:31.920 Yeah and a lot of yeah, and a lot of 730 00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:34.280 wrestling fans would be like, no, he's breaking the facade. 731 00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:36.480 But my thing is he he's been in KFA his 732 00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:40.079 whole life. If he's retiring now and if he wants 733 00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:42.039 to let it go, let him let it go. He's 734 00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:45.239 earned the right to let it go. He has definitely 735 00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:47.199 earned the right to let it go and now just 736 00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:50.599 be himself. But you know, this was a really great 737 00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:55.000 cinematic match, so it was cool. Now your number two 738 00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:59.800 wasn't just you know, one specific moment. It was a 739 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.559 election of moments that happened within the span of five 740 00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:07.880 minutes at Russell Mania forty, which is highly acclaimed as 741 00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:12.159 one of the greatest Mania moments of all time. Is 742 00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:15.039 of course the five minutes where it was the Cody 743 00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:17.719 Avengers is what I've dubbed them. I think somebody else 744 00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:19.519 dubed them that as well, but it just found sound 745 00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:23.320 to cash you the Cody Avengers versus the Bloodline as 746 00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.840 Cody and Roman fought again for the undisputed WW Championship, 747 00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:32.280 which he wound up winning in Philadelphia. I wasn't at 748 00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:37.119 this mania, but I was in town for it. So 749 00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:40.199 even though I did not get accepted for media at 750 00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:42.360 that point in time, I still wanted to go and 751 00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:44.440 be around the things because there were things that I 752 00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:46.440 did want to go to and things that I was 753 00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:48.119 invited to. So I was just like, no, I still 754 00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:50.400 want to go. So I still went and had a 755 00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:53.320 great time, and I went to a watch party the 756 00:48:53.400 --> 00:48:55.159 first night, and the second night I just stayed in 757 00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:59.280 my room because transportation was hard. But either way, I'm 758 00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:04.480 still very happy with this WrestleMania. It was green everywhere. 759 00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:07.880 It was the start of the Paul Triple a Slovak era, 760 00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.000 and you felt it. You felt the change in the 761 00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:13.679 air for sure. And yeah, Cody Rose got to finish 762 00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:16.840 his story here, but not without some help from his friends, 763 00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:22.840 the Cody Avengers. So Bianca La, let you get into 764 00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:28.719 the happiness of the last five minutes of Cody versus 765 00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:30.440 Roman two M. 766 00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:39.159 I think about that. It's not almost every day. It's 767 00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:46.920 really weird. I can't. I remember watching that live, remember 768 00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:49.559 saying to myself, Oh my god, a lot is happening. 769 00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:58.440 What is happening? And then we see Cody and Roman fighting, 770 00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:03.559 and then out of nowhere, I forgot who. I forgot 771 00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:05.400 which person comes out first. 772 00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:09.800 But I believe it was Solo Socoa okay, yeah, because 773 00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:12.320 he tried to help him. He tried to help Roman first. 774 00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:15.800 I believe he tried to help Roman cheat or something 775 00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.719 along the lines of trying to help him cheat the 776 00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:20.960 same way he did at thirty nine. But that didn't 777 00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:21.639 work out. 778 00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:26.159 But go ahead, So I forgot who comes out in order? 779 00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:34.360 But and then so oh and that okay, and then 780 00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:40.320 out of nowhere, you here, and I said, no, no, 781 00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:47.320 there is no way, there is no way. Oh no, 782 00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:51.159 he can't be there, No. 783 00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:00.679 Bianca girl. Look, I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you. 784 00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:04.159 I'm guilty too. I'm guilty. Don't feel bad. Don't feel 785 00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:06.760 bad because I said the same thing. I said the 786 00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:10.159 same thing. Okay. I thought for sure when that shield 787 00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:14.599 music hit, I was saw because we saw Seth of 788 00:51:14.679 --> 00:51:18.199 course during night one. Well actually during night one we 789 00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:20.719 saw him, you know, fight side by side with Cody 790 00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:22.559 and the tag team match with Roman in the Rock, 791 00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:25.400 and then we saw him at Night two defend the 792 00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:28.320 World heavyweight title against Drew McIntyre and all the things 793 00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:31.239 and stuff, and he wasn't and we thought, you know, 794 00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:35.639 we were finished seeing him, right, So when that shield 795 00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:38.440 music hit, I was not expecting to see Seth. I 796 00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:41.280 thought for sure that they had pulled some type of 797 00:51:41.360 --> 00:51:46.159 Oakie dope. And John Moxley came back and I was 798 00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:49.199 I could not breathe. I could not breathe. I sware 799 00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:52.000 I couldn't breathe, and then this is not in order, 800 00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:54.079 so these pictures are not in order, so please bear 801 00:51:54.159 --> 00:51:56.119 with me. I know Seth came out last because this 802 00:51:56.280 --> 00:51:59.199 is what wound up Costume Roman in the end. But Baby, 803 00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:04.039 when that shield music hit, I thought for sure you 804 00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.440 could not tell me it wasn't John Moxley, but it 805 00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:11.159 was Seth, you know, being the shield that Cody needed. Yeah, 806 00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:15.119 because he because yeah, and uh. 807 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:18.840 Corey Gravy. Corey Grams even said it, he said, there's 808 00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:21.400 he can't what do he say? He can't be here? 809 00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:24.800 There is there is no way exactly possible. 810 00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:28.400 Some people like that, Oh my god, I would have 811 00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:30.840 went to the hospital if it was. 812 00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:32.840 That. 813 00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:39.159 Oh god lord, it was so funny. But that that 814 00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:42.000 was a very you know, like what the f moment. 815 00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:44.840 But Seth, Seth came in the clutch here when it 816 00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:46.880 came to that. But then you also have. 817 00:52:48.920 --> 00:52:51.400 And then Yes, and then. 818 00:52:56.159 --> 00:52:58.719 The Rock coming out there being the final boss, and 819 00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:01.400 then you have John Cena coming out there, like yo, 820 00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:04.599 it was John Cena first, and then the Rock came 821 00:53:04.679 --> 00:53:06.280 out there and then they had their face off, and 822 00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:07.880 I was like, are we going to get this again? 823 00:53:08.559 --> 00:53:08.760 Yeah? 824 00:53:09.599 --> 00:53:12.639 When John Cena I came out, I screamed, and the 825 00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:16.199 Rock came out. I don't remember did I scream? I 826 00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:20.079 don't remember. But that whole face off and that whole atmosphere, 827 00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:24.159 there's this whole there's is still where there's where you 828 00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:30.239 not this angle, but like when there's there're standing and 829 00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:36.360 then you can see them slipping around and then the whole. 830 00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:42.599 The when I talk about the noise at forty when 831 00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:44.559 you were there, that was what I was talking about, Like, 832 00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:49.679 how was that noise, because like it was just, oh 833 00:53:49.760 --> 00:53:53.760 my god, just I love moments like that. Yeah, it 834 00:53:54.000 --> 00:54:00.679 is so loud and they're whoa. I think that was 835 00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:02.440 the moment when I said a lot of that. 836 00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:08.480 Yeah, and you couldn't tell the Rock anything because he 837 00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:11.079 had on Now this was a moment where the Rock 838 00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:16.719 would have on lemon pepper steppers and the Rock had 839 00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:19.039 on some limit pepper steppers, and he had on these 840 00:54:19.159 --> 00:54:21.719 white flare pants and he came in with his belt 841 00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:25.239 and with Versace shirt, which low ki was like a 842 00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:27.480 callback to how he used to dress in the nineties, 843 00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:30.679 and you couldn't tell him nothing as the final Boss then, 844 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:33.360 but then him and John had that stand off and 845 00:54:33.440 --> 00:54:37.280 it was just incredible, you know, and yeah, that was 846 00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:40.400 just it was just yeah, I know CM punk has 847 00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:44.840 been railing against cinema, but this entire part was basically cinema. 848 00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:49.079 I'm sorry, like that pro wrestling is a combination of 849 00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:51.519 all of the arts and that includes cinema, and that's 850 00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:54.840 exactly what this was. It was Aura Farming, it was 851 00:54:54.920 --> 00:54:57.679 all the things, and it was just incredible. And then 852 00:54:57.760 --> 00:54:59.559 on top of that, you all, oh, sorry, I went 853 00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:03.559 too far. You also had Jimmy coming out to try 854 00:55:03.639 --> 00:55:05.880 to help Roman.

That 868 00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:00.559 his father never properly got a chance to hold. And 869 00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:02.519 it was beautiful. He got to win it in front 870 00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:07.440 of his gorgeous, gorgeous boss wife Brandy, and his mom 871 00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:11.320 and his father in spirit and so many other people 872 00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:14.880 who loved and cared about him.

That was She is 887 00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:30.960 why I want to ring announce. She will always be 888 00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:37.159 my inspiration seeing the passion in her voice and just 889 00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:42.440 and letting out and losing it when she was crying 890 00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:47.199 as she was saying, here's you winner in the new 891 00:57:48.840 --> 00:57:54.000 that's when the world heavyweight champion, the American Nightmare pretty. 892 00:57:53.840 --> 00:57:57.880 Roads all that, Yeah, And then Cody was saying that 893 00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:00.599 she was that Samantha was emotional, and then my cold 894 00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:06.880 chimed in, being the excellent journalist and storyteller, narrator, commentator, 895 00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:10.639 that he is talking about his vulnerability in the moment 896 00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:13.119 and saying, you know, this is special for him because 897 00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:15.719 him and Cody had to relate, have a relationship that 898 00:58:15.840 --> 00:58:19.000 dates back a while, and it was emotional for him 899 00:58:19.039 --> 00:58:23.760 as well, and just like emotions were just running high 900 00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:26.599 and everybody was just so so so so so happy 901 00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:32.159 for Cody. And I hated how Samantha, how people tried 902 00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:34.639 to drag Samantha through the mud and tried to make 903 00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:36.360 it seem like she was making it about her, and 904 00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.159 I'm just like, absolutely not. If that moment was just 905 00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:41.719 about her, then she would not have cried the way 906 00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:44.239 she did. She she would have just announced it the 907 00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:47.559 way that she would have professionally announced any anything or 908 00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:51.719 anybody else but her. She does she did her job 909 00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:55.519 so well throughout the whole night, and then when she 910 00:58:55.679 --> 00:59:00.159 got emotional at that one part, like she felt what 911 00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:03.800 everybody was feeling in that moment. And for that, I think, 912 00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:09.280 you know, the vulnerability that WrestleMania brings with dreams coming true, 913 00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:12.559 I mean, that's just what it is. It was authentic, 914 00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:15.840 like we were just talking about earlier with Bianca and Mercedes, 915 00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:20.960 it was authentic emotion. And no matter what happens, no 916 00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:24.280 matter what she chooses to do with her future or whatever, 917 00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:27.519 you know, that is a moment that will stick with people, 918 00:59:27.519 --> 00:59:30.000 will stick with people like you, you know, and everyone 919 00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:34.840 else for the rest of time. And yeah, this the 920 00:59:35.039 --> 00:59:38.000 last five minutes was incredible, but the emotion after he 921 00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:43.239 won will always resonate greatly because this was a man 922 00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:46.920 making his dream come true for himself, but also for 923 00:59:47.119 --> 00:59:51.159 his family name, for his dad, you know, who was 924 00:59:51.320 --> 00:59:54.800 instrumental in so many people's careers and also his And 925 00:59:55.320 --> 00:59:57.199 it was just a dream come true for someone who 926 00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:01.199 felt like he had to, you know, really prove himself, 927 01:00:01.280 --> 01:00:04.679 and he did it in ways that people didn't necessarily expect, 928 01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:06.719 you know, But at the same time, he did it 929 01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:09.320 and he came back around and made his dream come true. 930 01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:13.760 So this was a very beautiful moment. I loved the 931 01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:16.920 last five minutes of it. You know, it was incredible, 932 01:00:18.920 --> 01:00:21.159 and it's still one of those moments that you if 933 01:00:21.199 --> 01:00:24.599 you're scrolling through TikTok or if you're scrolling through any 934 01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:27.800 social media account or watching it back, it's like you know, 935 01:00:27.920 --> 01:00:33.239 you're watching something special that is that moment fully embodies 936 01:00:33.880 --> 01:00:39.280 the passion and the authenticity and the love of professional wrestling. 937 01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:41.440 Because even Michael Cole was like, damn it, I love 938 01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:43.880 professional wrestling. And after he said, I was like, yeah, me, 939 01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:47.559 do you know, like this is real. It's it's very, 940 01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:51.119 very very real for us, like like that that old 941 01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:53.280 clip of that wrestling fan saying it's still real to 942 01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:56.119 be damn it. This was the embodiment of that right here. 943 01:00:57.480 --> 01:01:01.320 All of this was was literally the embodiment of that moment. 944 01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:03.719 It's real to us, damn it. And if it's not 945 01:01:04.079 --> 01:01:07.320 then to y'all, then that's fine, but it's real to us. 946 01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:11.280 And this was real to us right here. So I'm 947 01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:15.079 glad you mentioned this because it was incredible, absolutely incredible stuff. 948 01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:18.519 But as we move forward, we moved to your number 949 01:01:18.599 --> 01:01:30.000 one moment, another emotional moment now, But this is another 950 01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:36.159 cinematic match from Rustlemania thirty six during the Pandemic, the 951 01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:40.880 Firefly Funhouse match between John Cena and the late Great 952 01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:44.159 Bray Wyatt. Why did you choose this one as your 953 01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:44.719 number one? 954 01:01:45.320 --> 01:01:54.320 Oh my god, oh just like the Boneyard match. This was, 955 01:01:56.800 --> 01:02:02.039 oh god, oh my god, everything I wanted in that 956 01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:06.679 time and then some. It was so weird. It was 957 01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:07.920 so amazing. 958 01:02:08.639 --> 01:02:09.320 It was so. 959 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:24.440 Freaky. The production, the just the staging, the blocking, the 960 01:02:25.559 --> 01:02:34.440 every uh just everything, the dialogue, the transitions, the costumes, 961 01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:42.639 the surprises, everything about it was just perfect everything. I'm okay. 962 01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:50.320 Ariana Grande taught me to enjoy and taught me to 963 01:02:50.519 --> 01:02:56.159 love the freaky stuff, to love the weird stuff. And 964 01:02:56.320 --> 01:03:00.320 I really, I really love this because, yeah, it's just 965 01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:09.039 seeing how hands on they were behind the scenes and 966 01:03:09.159 --> 01:03:12.840 seeing how break White was so involved in it behind 967 01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:17.159 the scenes to make this all come to light. I 968 01:03:17.360 --> 01:03:19.599 learned like this was all him, This was all break White, 969 01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:22.159 This is all his vision. So for it to like 970 01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:31.119 come to life like like this, Oh my gosh, amazing, 971 01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:36.280 so good John Star and we saw a really we 972 01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:39.039 saw a side of John. Tina we probably have never 973 01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:42.000 seen before. It was I think a side of him 974 01:03:42.079 --> 01:03:46.039 that he's always wanted to unleash, like his goofy side, 975 01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:56.880 his his ah, we his a weird side his yeah, his, uh, 976 01:03:57.559 --> 01:03:59.239 I don't know what. I don't know any other words, 977 01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:05.079 but that side of him. It was before he retired 978 01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:12.119 and doing it with someone he sees, he saw, he's 979 01:04:12.320 --> 01:04:16.119 he had seen such great potential in in bray Wyatt 980 01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:23.039 and the history they had in the WrestleMania years, years 981 01:04:23.159 --> 01:04:30.760 prior for and for all for but for Johnson to 982 01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:34.000 come back as the Doctor of Dagonomics and for us 983 01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:42.239 to see the fiend h five five fun house. We saw, 984 01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:47.000 we saw my favorite, We saw my favorite bray White, 985 01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:56.880 which is uh, we saw Hillbilly bray White had just 986 01:04:58.159 --> 01:05:00.599 it was just yeah, it was just really and John 987 01:05:00.679 --> 01:05:03.920 Cena cutting some bars, spitting some spitting some bars in 988 01:05:03.960 --> 01:05:08.000 the middle of the ring and just really a freaky, 989 01:05:08.039 --> 01:05:11.960 amazing stuff that I really truly enjoyed it. It's a 990 01:05:12.079 --> 01:05:14.280 ten out of the well for it's a ten out 991 01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:19.199 of ten, like amazing, ah so good. 992 01:05:20.199 --> 01:05:24.559 Oh man. Yeah, I honestly feel like if there was 993 01:05:24.679 --> 01:05:27.639 ever a list of the greatest cinematic matches to ever 994 01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:31.320 take place, because I remember when this happened. Of course, 995 01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:33.079 even though it was during the pandemic, a lot of 996 01:05:33.119 --> 01:05:37.599 people felt like, well, why was it the firefly funhouse match? 997 01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:40.599 Like an actual match that took place in the ring, 998 01:05:41.320 --> 01:05:44.639 And that discourse was happening back then a whole lot. 999 01:05:44.760 --> 01:05:47.480 But I think the thing that I appreciate the most 1000 01:05:47.639 --> 01:05:50.960 about it now is the fact that and even they 1001 01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:54.000 alluded to this more so in the bray Wyatt documentary 1002 01:05:54.119 --> 01:05:57.679 that came out a little bit after he passed. It's 1003 01:05:57.800 --> 01:06:00.519 just the fact that bray Wyatt had a creative mind 1004 01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:05.760 that even surpassed the people who were in charge back then. 1005 01:06:08.119 --> 01:06:10.800 I feel like back then there were It's like I 1006 01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:13.199 feel like there could have been a power dynamic where 1007 01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:17.280 it was sort of maybe limiting for him and his visions, 1008 01:06:17.840 --> 01:06:24.159 because bray Wyatt had a creative mind that really could 1009 01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:27.400 like enrapture you and bring you and like let and 1010 01:06:27.519 --> 01:06:32.000 pull you in no pun and all puns intended. And 1011 01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:34.960 it's just like his creativity just could not be limited 1012 01:06:35.079 --> 01:06:37.000 in any way, shape or form. And this match is 1013 01:06:37.079 --> 01:06:40.280 the living embodiment of that. There were so many layers 1014 01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:44.119 to it. It was more than just entring work rate 1015 01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:48.199 type of stuff, like this was actually playing into a 1016 01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:51.480 lot of things that people had mentioned about John Cena 1017 01:06:52.280 --> 01:06:54.840 and his entire wrestling journey, and of course it came 1018 01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:57.599 back to bite us once he actually did turn heel 1019 01:06:57.800 --> 01:07:02.159 during his retirement run. But it asked a lot of 1020 01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:05.440 questions that we, I guess, weren't really ready to answer 1021 01:07:05.559 --> 01:07:09.119 or contend with at the time, because there was the 1022 01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:13.440 notion of Bray Wyatt during their first match at WrestleMania 1023 01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:18.519 thirty of him asking John Cena, where is your dark side? Like, 1024 01:07:18.639 --> 01:07:20.639 where is the part of you that wants to give 1025 01:07:20.719 --> 01:07:23.159 up in all of this? And then this match right 1026 01:07:23.239 --> 01:07:25.599 here sort of fed into that, Like what would have 1027 01:07:25.639 --> 01:07:27.760 happened if you had have fed into your dark side? 1028 01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:29.559 If you had if you had have gone the way 1029 01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:32.440 of as much as I don't like him anymore of 1030 01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:35.920 a whole Cogan who was the good shining example and 1031 01:07:36.039 --> 01:07:38.480 then he did turn heel and join nWo and all 1032 01:07:38.519 --> 01:07:41.480 the things, what would have happened if John Cena was 1033 01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:45.039 allowed to tap into his dark side before he ultimately did. 1034 01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:52.320 I feel like this was subverting that and well, just 1035 01:07:52.400 --> 01:07:56.800 showing a level of of it was just making us 1036 01:07:56.880 --> 01:08:01.239 contend with things that or making at least John Cena's 1037 01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:04.039 character at this point contend with things that he tried 1038 01:08:04.079 --> 01:08:08.079 to I guess suppress or ignore and the audience. And 1039 01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:09.880 it challenged the audience in a way that I just 1040 01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:12.320 don't think we were really fully ready for at the time. 1041 01:08:13.039 --> 01:08:15.400 But then and then we thought we would never deal 1042 01:08:15.440 --> 01:08:17.560 with it because John, They never thought they would ever 1043 01:08:17.640 --> 01:08:20.720 pull the trigger on John Cena being bad offer them 1044 01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:26.640 to do it. But this match was always It's special 1045 01:08:26.720 --> 01:08:29.920 to me because it uses elements of the past to 1046 01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:33.800 take us on that journey, and I will always appreciate that. 1047 01:08:34.680 --> 01:08:39.760 And I hate that Bray physically can't get his flowers 1048 01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:43.199 for how good this was. But at the very least, 1049 01:08:43.239 --> 01:08:46.800 the most we can do is, you know, talk about 1050 01:08:46.840 --> 01:08:50.560 the brilliance of his creativity. And then also praised John 1051 01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:53.079 Cena for his willingness to go along with the idea 1052 01:08:53.560 --> 01:08:56.079 because this was right before he was really busting off 1053 01:08:56.159 --> 01:08:58.960 with his acting bag. And then now we're able to 1054 01:08:59.000 --> 01:09:02.199 see how much how much he can really tap into 1055 01:09:02.319 --> 01:09:06.439 more creativity as an actor with him doing stuff like 1056 01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:08.960 this and then doing everything that he's done afterward too. 1057 01:09:09.239 --> 01:09:12.800 So it was an artistic vision, and I'm so happy 1058 01:09:12.880 --> 01:09:14.840 that it happened, and I'm glad that there were so 1059 01:09:14.960 --> 01:09:17.760 many layers to it that even feeds into more recent 1060 01:09:17.840 --> 01:09:22.520 wrestling history and it's perfect. And I'm so glad that 1061 01:09:22.600 --> 01:09:24.279 you chose this as you're number one. And I'm so 1062 01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:29.439 happy that you included moments from that mania during the pandemic, 1063 01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:31.479 because so many people try to make it seem like 1064 01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:35.079 because it was during lockdown, it didn't matter. No, it does, 1065 01:09:35.399 --> 01:09:38.880 it absolutely does, and I'm so I'm so happy that 1066 01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:41.600 you mentioned that. So that's that's tends for you, Bianca. 1067 01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:44.640 I'm so I'm so proud that you mentioned moments from 1068 01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:45.039 that one. 1069 01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:51.920 Thank you that he'll replay that moment in time. And 1070 01:09:52.039 --> 01:09:56.079 my I think my head space is still in twenty nineteen, 1071 01:09:56.239 --> 01:09:58.800 twenty twenties, it's still in that, it's still in that 1072 01:09:59.199 --> 01:10:02.520 space because so weird. I was in college, I was 1073 01:10:03.479 --> 01:10:08.880 getting through I was trying to get through a major 1074 01:10:09.479 --> 01:10:16.720 I regret, trying to get my degree, trying to edit 1075 01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:21.800 my thesis, and then all that happened, and with all that, 1076 01:10:22.039 --> 01:10:27.680 WrestleMania happened. So luckily I had my editing laptop, so 1077 01:10:27.880 --> 01:10:31.680 I watched my I watched WrestleMania on my editing laptop. 1078 01:10:31.800 --> 01:10:33.640 It was it had a big screen. It was a 1079 01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:37.399 it was a Mac, but the big screen. So I 1080 01:10:37.640 --> 01:10:40.239 cherished it for that for the time, and it was amazing. 1081 01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:45.680 It was great, and I needed all that that this could. 1082 01:10:46.000 --> 01:10:51.039 I'm happy this happened, although I do wish I do 1083 01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:55.720 wish that it didn't happen because I liked the crowd. 1084 01:10:56.319 --> 01:10:58.640 I'm used to the crowd. I wish they did I 1085 01:10:58.720 --> 01:11:02.359 wish they postponed it. But hey, they made a way. 1086 01:11:02.840 --> 01:11:08.359 They found a way, and a lot of amazing moments happened. 1087 01:11:09.520 --> 01:11:17.720 But yeah, yeah, it was and we were all just 1088 01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:20.560 trying to make it through, you know, like you're mentioning 1089 01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:23.279 all the things you were going through. I was, you know, 1090 01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:27.279 transitioning into a new job at the time, still figuring 1091 01:11:27.319 --> 01:11:30.920 out how to wrestling podcasts or even talk about anything 1092 01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:32.960 on a podcast. I had never done it before. We 1093 01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:35.680 were all we were all just trying to figure out 1094 01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:37.319 how in the world we were going to get through 1095 01:11:37.359 --> 01:11:40.800 that time. But I'm always grateful that wrestling was there, 1096 01:11:40.920 --> 01:11:43.039 even though it was awkward, like you mentioned, with the 1097 01:11:43.079 --> 01:11:44.720 crowds and everything. A lot of people are like oh, 1098 01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:48.000 I don't think I can watch wrestling without the crowd. Honestly, 1099 01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:51.880 I'm glad that a lot of us still continued with 1100 01:11:52.079 --> 01:11:54.239 our love of pro wrestling because that was a part 1101 01:11:54.279 --> 01:11:57.199 of something that we could look forward to in the 1102 01:11:57.319 --> 01:12:01.960 midst of so much toughness and darkness and also trying 1103 01:12:02.039 --> 01:12:04.359 to work through and make it through certain things. And 1104 01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:08.000 you know, I'm happy that they still found a way 1105 01:12:08.039 --> 01:12:12.039 to safely give us something to look forward to in 1106 01:12:12.159 --> 01:12:15.840 that way, and WrestleMania is definitely a part of that 1107 01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:18.960 and it definitely does matter. So Bianca, thank you so 1108 01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:22.800 much for sharing your top five, and I'm just so 1109 01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:25.039 happy and so proud of you for mentioning, you know 1110 01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:29.079 that WrestleMania in particular, because it does matter. It does 1111 01:12:29.239 --> 01:12:34.159 count in the wrestling in the WrestleMania pantheon. So let's 1112 01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:38.199 not be weird because it looked different than the others. 1113 01:12:38.359 --> 01:12:39.560 All WrestleManias matter. 1114 01:12:40.039 --> 01:12:42.680 A lot of people didn't watch it, No people. 1115 01:12:42.520 --> 01:12:45.199 Did watch it. I just feel like there's this notion 1116 01:12:46.119 --> 01:12:49.640 that some people have, even with the NBA Finals, to 1117 01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:53.960 a degree, like because all of that happened under Lockdown, 1118 01:12:54.000 --> 01:12:55.880 there are some people who run with the narrative that 1119 01:12:55.920 --> 01:12:58.439 they feel like it doesn't matter because it was during lockdown. 1120 01:12:58.439 --> 01:12:59.600 I'm like, no, it does matter. 1121 01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:02.279 Yeah, it does, so you too. 1122 01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:06.039 Yeah, and the WrestleMania matters as well, like everything that 1123 01:13:06.159 --> 01:13:09.439 happened that year, even though it was different, it still mattered. 1124 01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:12.560 So you know, so I just don't want, you know, 1125 01:13:12.840 --> 01:13:15.960 I just if that narrative is out there about that WrestleMania, 1126 01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:17.880 I would just very much prefer for it to not 1127 01:13:18.079 --> 01:13:20.960 be out there because you know, it still mattered because 1128 01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:23.119 it gave us something to look forward to. It gave 1129 01:13:23.239 --> 01:13:25.680 us a level of escape, you know, and it made 1130 01:13:25.840 --> 01:13:29.680 us happy. It gave us something cool. So thank you 1131 01:13:29.880 --> 01:13:30.600 for mentioning that. 1132 01:13:31.399 --> 01:13:32.479 So I enjoyed it. 1133 01:13:33.319 --> 01:13:37.720 Yeah, So we're gonna move to my top five along 1134 01:13:37.800 --> 01:13:43.520 with my honorable mention, and I'm gonna start my honorable 1135 01:13:43.600 --> 01:13:49.640 mention with a very loud video. So this was this 1136 01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:54.039 is a moment from last year's WrestleMania. We're back at Vegas, 1137 01:13:54.600 --> 01:14:11.760 so this is a my honorable mention right here. So yeah, 1138 01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:24.039 so if you heard that music amidst all of the screaming, y'all, 1139 01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:27.680 I lost my cool, my honorable mention in the midst 1140 01:14:27.720 --> 01:14:33.039 of my top five WrestleMania moments is Joe Hendry and 1141 01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:41.399 his surprise appearance at WrestleMania. So this was amazing for 1142 01:14:41.600 --> 01:14:44.239 me because here again, this is a moment I'm so 1143 01:14:44.399 --> 01:14:47.520 blessed to have witness as a media member and just 1144 01:14:47.600 --> 01:14:50.239 as a fan in general. I love Joe Hendry because 1145 01:14:50.279 --> 01:14:54.520 this last year I got to experience him surprise us 1146 01:14:54.560 --> 01:14:58.199 at the Royal Rumble with his entrance, and at the 1147 01:14:58.239 --> 01:15:00.920 time he wasn't TNA champion just yet, but then he 1148 01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:04.279 wound up winning the TNA World title, and he was 1149 01:15:04.439 --> 01:15:08.640 at Russell Khan in Las Vegas because of course when 1150 01:15:08.720 --> 01:15:12.039 Russellmania is going going on all over the city, there's 1151 01:15:12.039 --> 01:15:15.560 wrestling stuff everywhere, so he was at Russell Khan. He's 1152 01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:20.039 still with TNA at the time. Randy Orton, funny enough, 1153 01:15:20.159 --> 01:15:23.880 last year did not did not necessarily he was supposed 1154 01:15:23.920 --> 01:15:26.439 to fight against Kevin Owens, but sadly Kevin Owens was 1155 01:15:26.479 --> 01:15:30.319 out due to a neck injury, and you know, Randy 1156 01:15:30.439 --> 01:15:32.560 came out and cut a promo and said, look like, 1157 01:15:32.800 --> 01:15:36.239 you know, this is my I think I forgot which 1158 01:15:36.640 --> 01:15:39.560 what number of WrestleManias he had been to at that point, 1159 01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:42.119 but he said look like whoever is gonna come out 1160 01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:44.000 there and who want and whoever wants to face me 1161 01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:46.439 is gonna get the three most devastating letters r KO. 1162 01:15:47.399 --> 01:15:51.920 So from my view, as you saw in that video, 1163 01:15:52.199 --> 01:15:55.680 I was up top in the press part. You couldn't 1164 01:15:55.760 --> 01:15:59.960 see who was coming out like the way you will 1165 01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:03.000 if you were watching it, because I did go back 1166 01:16:03.039 --> 01:16:05.680 and watch this wrestleman, or at least this moment, and 1167 01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:10.039 you and they had the camera facing the stage where 1168 01:16:10.119 --> 01:16:13.119 the doors opened, and you could see a silhouette. I 1169 01:16:13.279 --> 01:16:15.640 couldn't see anything. None of us could see who it 1170 01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:18.399 was gonna be, so or at least I couldn't see 1171 01:16:18.439 --> 01:16:21.279 from my angle. So I'm just sitting there freaking out, like, 1172 01:16:21.359 --> 01:16:23.079 oh my god, Oh my god, who could be? Who 1173 01:16:23.119 --> 01:16:26.039 could be? Who could be? And his music hits, Joe 1174 01:16:26.119 --> 01:16:29.960 Hendry's music hits, and I lose every inch of cool 1175 01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:34.159 that I was supposed to have. In that moment, Journalist 1176 01:16:34.199 --> 01:16:38.960 Stephanie left the building. Fan Stephanie just kept screaming and 1177 01:16:39.520 --> 01:16:42.479 low key in tears because Joe Hendry is coming out 1178 01:16:43.680 --> 01:16:47.000 and everybody popping. Everybody was screaming and singing the song. 1179 01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:50.279 I was singing the song like it was just a 1180 01:16:50.399 --> 01:16:55.439 moment of unbridled joy. Then I cherish you know that, 1181 01:16:55.520 --> 01:16:58.680 I will always cherish because Joe Hendry is a great 1182 01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:04.800 wrestler and I love crowd participation stuff. So getting to 1183 01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:08.119 be a part of that at WrestleMania of all things, 1184 01:17:08.159 --> 01:17:10.560 and then to witness him make history being the first 1185 01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:13.800 ever TNA champion to wrestle at a WrestleMania like that 1186 01:17:14.039 --> 01:17:16.640 was nuts. It was just so nuts, and I'll always 1187 01:17:16.720 --> 01:17:18.920 cherish it because it was a surprise. I didn't see 1188 01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:22.239 it coming, you know, and I just screamed. And there 1189 01:17:22.279 --> 01:17:24.439 were a couple of friends sitting further down from me, 1190 01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:28.159 who hosts The Ringer Wrestling Show, who saw me screaming, 1191 01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:31.479 saw me dancing, you know, and it was just it 1192 01:17:31.600 --> 01:17:34.760 was just unbridled joy. And that's what Joe Hendry brings 1193 01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:37.720 to me. He just brings me joy every time. I 1194 01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:40.439 gotta sing, I gotta dance every time. That's just how 1195 01:17:40.479 --> 01:17:43.680 I feel about him. I love him. So this was amazing. 1196 01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:48.119 Are you telling me that you saw one of the 1197 01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:52.359 most amazing WrestleMania moments of all time, which is Randy 1198 01:17:52.520 --> 01:17:58.159 Orton and Hendri doing the thing spitting around and you saw. 1199 01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:11.520 Joe, Yeah, Joe Hendrick get r KAO. Afterwards, Yes, my 1200 01:18:11.640 --> 01:18:14.119 heart was so broken because I thought maybe they made 1201 01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:16.640 a bond. But then Randy was like psych. 1202 01:18:21.439 --> 01:18:32.000 He wasn't even in the camera, cats the frame, and. 1203 01:18:32.079 --> 01:18:34.600 Then Randy went to match and everything. But when I 1204 01:18:34.720 --> 01:18:38.720 tell you, I couldn't even be mad. It happened so quick. 1205 01:18:38.800 --> 01:18:42.960 I didn't have I didn't have room to be angry 1206 01:18:43.039 --> 01:18:47.319 about it. I was just like, you know what, fine, fine, 1207 01:18:47.920 --> 01:18:49.520 I had my moment. 1208 01:18:52.159 --> 01:18:54.840 Man does the spand and he just. 1209 01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:01.520 Like come on, man, oh oh god. It was so amazing. 1210 01:19:03.039 --> 01:19:06.439 There are just no words to just fully define the 1211 01:19:07.439 --> 01:19:10.960 how iconic that moment was. I'm just so I'm so 1212 01:19:11.159 --> 01:19:13.119 honored to have gotten to see that. So this is 1213 01:19:13.159 --> 01:19:16.239 my honorable mention, you know, and this is also just 1214 01:19:16.319 --> 01:19:19.479 a reminder to just don't let anybody, you know, make 1215 01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:23.479 you feel bad for screaming and you know, having unbridled 1216 01:19:23.560 --> 01:19:26.279 joy and being silly at wrestling events and stuff. You know, 1217 01:19:26.560 --> 01:19:30.039 life is too short. If Joe Hendry pops up somewhere 1218 01:19:30.119 --> 01:19:32.239 near you, if you say his name and he appears, 1219 01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:36.199 have fun with it, and that's what I was doing. 1220 01:19:36.479 --> 01:19:42.199 I could I just couldn't. I couldn't bear it. It 1221 01:19:42.359 --> 01:19:44.720 was just so much excitement running through my body. At 1222 01:19:44.760 --> 01:19:46.520 that point, I regret nothing. 1223 01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:50.520 You should not regret nothing, You should not get anything. 1224 01:19:51.159 --> 01:19:58.560 I don't. So my number five properly is actually Stone 1225 01:19:58.640 --> 01:20:01.880 Closed in Boston versus the at WrestleMania nineteen. Like I 1226 01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:05.520 mentioned earlier to you, Biyanka, Wressemania nineteen was the first 1227 01:20:05.520 --> 01:20:09.720 Wressemania I ever watched on DVD. And the reason why 1228 01:20:09.920 --> 01:20:13.920 I love this match was number one because of the 1229 01:20:14.119 --> 01:20:17.479 history that these two men have at WrestleMania's like these 1230 01:20:17.600 --> 01:20:21.319 two could have a standoff with each other to this 1231 01:20:21.600 --> 01:20:24.800 day and it was still illicit a level of emotion 1232 01:20:25.159 --> 01:20:29.079 from fans of the Attitude era like to this day 1233 01:20:29.520 --> 01:20:33.079 because of the iconic nature of their rivalry. They fought 1234 01:20:33.199 --> 01:20:36.640 so much, and this was their third and final time 1235 01:20:36.720 --> 01:20:41.159 fighting each other. And then this was after Stone Cold 1236 01:20:41.239 --> 01:20:44.279 had dealt with some health issues involving I forgot what 1237 01:20:44.359 --> 01:20:47.159 the health issues were, but I remember the lore that 1238 01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:49.359 my dad was telling me about this match and how 1239 01:20:49.399 --> 01:20:52.800 it almost didn't happen because Stone Cold was going through 1240 01:20:52.840 --> 01:20:56.479 a lot health wise, but he decided to push through 1241 01:20:57.199 --> 01:21:00.319 anyway and have the match regardless. 1242 01:21:00.119 --> 01:21:00.439 And so. 1243 01:21:02.119 --> 01:21:04.319 This was just really magical for me at the time 1244 01:21:04.439 --> 01:21:06.800 to just witness that level of war and to just 1245 01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:10.039 see the toughness that that Stone Colst Boston had to 1246 01:21:10.159 --> 01:21:12.880 push through that. And then you have the Rock, who 1247 01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:15.640 was essentially like the first version of Hollywood Rock that 1248 01:21:15.720 --> 01:21:20.840 we saw being a villain and just fighting against Stone Cold, 1249 01:21:20.880 --> 01:21:22.800 and it was just it was a really great match 1250 01:21:22.880 --> 01:21:26.119 for sure. I believe this is actually my favorite of 1251 01:21:27.119 --> 01:21:29.640 all of their matches they've had, So it was just 1252 01:21:29.720 --> 01:21:32.119 really great and I hold it very near and dear 1253 01:21:32.199 --> 01:21:35.960 to my heart. It was great. I love this match 1254 01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:39.680 here and I love WrestleMania in nineteen, so I just 1255 01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:41.760 love it. And then I also just hold it dear 1256 01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:44.039 because I'll just never forget how my dad was just 1257 01:21:44.119 --> 01:21:49.039 telling me behind, you know, inside baseball stuff about this match, 1258 01:21:49.239 --> 01:21:51.479 and it was just my first time hearing anything like that, 1259 01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:52.760 and I was a kid, and I was just like, 1260 01:21:52.840 --> 01:21:54.920 oh my god, like da, are you serious and he's 1261 01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:56.520 just like yeah, and I'm just like, oh my god. 1262 01:21:57.119 --> 01:22:03.800 So it was nuts. But I hold it very dear. 1263 01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:08.319 So yeah, Stone Culver's the Rock. You never get tired 1264 01:22:08.359 --> 01:22:08.520 of it. 1265 01:22:08.920 --> 01:22:11.279 You remember when they were in the ring together in Texas, 1266 01:22:11.560 --> 01:22:13.159 that's me. Was it thirty six? 1267 01:22:14.279 --> 01:22:17.520 Yeah, I don't think it. Well, I don't think it 1268 01:22:17.600 --> 01:22:19.439 was thirty six, but I do know it was the 1269 01:22:19.520 --> 01:22:22.760 one in I can't remember if it was the one 1270 01:22:22.840 --> 01:22:25.760 in Texas that happened in twenty sixteen or if it was, 1271 01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:29.680 I can't remember which one it was. But yeah, anytime 1272 01:22:29.840 --> 01:22:33.159 they they're just together, all wrestling fans are. 1273 01:22:33.079 --> 01:22:36.640 Just like, oh yeah, it was in the Silver Dome. 1274 01:22:37.560 --> 01:22:40.880 Mm hmm. Yeah, all the every every fan is just 1275 01:22:40.960 --> 01:22:44.479 like it's like they stop in their tracks because they 1276 01:22:44.600 --> 01:22:49.960 know it's magic. Yeah, yeah, this is this is my 1277 01:22:50.239 --> 01:22:53.560 favorite thing. And then the Rock I believe at this 1278 01:22:53.720 --> 01:22:58.479 point had not beaten Stone Cold at WrestleMania, so he 1279 01:22:58.680 --> 01:23:01.520 finally beat him in this. But either way, just the 1280 01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:05.159 lore and the drama behind the scenes leading to this 1281 01:23:05.279 --> 01:23:09.600 match happening, she was one of my favorite moments here 1282 01:23:09.720 --> 01:23:13.520 and it feeds into it, so yeah, gotta love it. 1283 01:23:13.720 --> 01:23:19.800 It was great My number four. 1284 01:23:21.000 --> 01:23:21.319 Wow. 1285 01:23:24.119 --> 01:23:27.039 I know people have their feelings about Ronda Rousi and 1286 01:23:27.119 --> 01:23:31.039 wrestling now, but in the beginning, when Ronda Rousi was 1287 01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:33.840 barreling through everybody in the UFC and she was the 1288 01:23:33.960 --> 01:23:36.840 baddest or essentially in her mind even still the baddest 1289 01:23:36.880 --> 01:23:39.359 woman on the planet. I was a huge fan of her. 1290 01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:44.960 I loved watching her dominate in the octagon, and then 1291 01:23:45.039 --> 01:23:48.239 seeing her transition over to wrestling. I was even more 1292 01:23:48.279 --> 01:23:50.319 excited about it. I was just like, oh my god, yes, 1293 01:23:50.720 --> 01:23:54.439 you know, she's coming over to our side. So when 1294 01:23:54.520 --> 01:23:57.600 she fought in that tag team match alongside Kurt Angle 1295 01:23:57.640 --> 01:24:01.119 against Triple H and Stephanie, I was absolutely here for it. 1296 01:24:01.359 --> 01:24:05.079 I have I still have her rowdy Ronda Rousey T 1297 01:24:05.279 --> 01:24:08.359 shirt that was pattern aft for Roddy Piper and everything. 1298 01:24:09.079 --> 01:24:13.159 But it was this moment, in particular her lifting up 1299 01:24:13.319 --> 01:24:18.000 Triple H that popped me so hard in twenty eighteen. 1300 01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:20.920 I was screaming my head off. I was at my 1301 01:24:21.000 --> 01:24:23.479 boyfriend's house watching it. I was like, oh my god, 1302 01:24:23.560 --> 01:24:27.960 she just lifted a whole man. I said it out loud. 1303 01:24:27.960 --> 01:24:30.479 I was like, she just lifted a whole man, and 1304 01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:37.560 it was incredible. I could not breathe. I could not breathe. 1305 01:24:37.720 --> 01:24:40.239 I was just like, she really lifted this big man up. 1306 01:24:40.319 --> 01:24:45.159 Triple H is not a small person. So to watch 1307 01:24:45.319 --> 01:24:49.880 this woman, who you know, was fairly new to wrestling 1308 01:24:49.920 --> 01:24:53.439 at the time, to us and watch her lift him 1309 01:24:53.680 --> 01:24:56.600 like it was nothing, was so badass, and I just 1310 01:24:56.680 --> 01:25:00.880 could not deal, like I just roll up. I just 1311 01:25:01.119 --> 01:25:05.560 I it just lifted something in my soul that just 1312 01:25:05.680 --> 01:25:08.439 empowered me so bad. I was just like, if I 1313 01:25:08.479 --> 01:25:11.000 could just get strong enough to lift a man, I 1314 01:25:11.119 --> 01:25:16.600 can do anything. It was just incredible. So this is this, This, 1315 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:19.760 this really got me together. This is my number four. 1316 01:25:20.199 --> 01:25:26.880 So I remember like, yeah, like, oh, when Ronda Rossi 1317 01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:29.239 came to j w WE, I said, oh my god, I. 1318 01:25:29.239 --> 01:25:33.920 Could finally watch her for free, right. 1319 01:25:35.199 --> 01:25:40.439 But I but yeah, this seeing yeah, just I never 1320 01:25:40.680 --> 01:25:44.159 I knew how strong she was, so like, seeing this 1321 01:25:45.399 --> 01:25:50.119 was very unexpected and something that I don't think I 1322 01:25:50.560 --> 01:25:54.680 expected to see. So this it's AI. I'm just kidding. 1323 01:25:54.800 --> 01:26:00.520 It's we're not spreading lies here. This is not this 1324 01:26:00.800 --> 01:26:05.079 really happened. You can go back on Netflix and look 1325 01:26:05.159 --> 01:26:08.720 at this WrestleMania and see that Ronda Rousey really did 1326 01:26:08.960 --> 01:26:11.439 live triple h. This is not AI. 1327 01:26:11.760 --> 01:26:12.439 This is real. 1328 01:26:13.960 --> 01:26:18.560 Dang it, that's how real it is. It looks so fakes. 1329 01:26:20.079 --> 01:26:23.520 Did that makes sense? I don't know. Anyway, I'm having fun. Yeah, 1330 01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:33.439 but yeah, and yeah, three greats in WWE with Ronda 1331 01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:41.159 Rousei with in like, what's so cool only at WrestleMania. 1332 01:26:41.239 --> 01:26:45.159 Well not only well yeah only yeah, Well it can 1333 01:26:45.279 --> 01:26:47.319 happen somewhere else, but only yeah. 1334 01:26:50.560 --> 01:26:55.319 Yes, yes, absolutely, this was just very magical for me. 1335 01:26:55.479 --> 01:26:58.960 It just made it made me feel very empowered in 1336 01:26:59.039 --> 01:27:01.680 the moment, it makes it makes my heart swell every 1337 01:27:01.760 --> 01:27:04.880 time I look at it. Regardless to how things went 1338 01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:07.600 down and how people feel about Ronda Rowsey, I will 1339 01:27:07.680 --> 01:27:10.079 always hold dear the fact that I saw Ronda lift 1340 01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:14.880 a whole man. I'm sorry, I don't care. I don't 1341 01:27:14.920 --> 01:27:18.840 care that this moment was for me and I loved it. 1342 01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:22.600 Let me get strong enough to lift a man. I 1343 01:27:23.159 --> 01:27:26.079 dare you, I dare you to try me. 1344 01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:28.359 You have your whole life ahead of you. 1345 01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:31.279 Oh man, I'm just thirty two. I can do it. 1346 01:27:34.279 --> 01:27:39.720 I can do it. Okay, So moving on to number three, 1347 01:27:40.640 --> 01:27:44.039 I have to talk about Cody Rhose's wwe return from 1348 01:27:44.039 --> 01:27:49.760 WrestleMania thirty eight and twenty twenty two. This moment, this 1349 01:27:49.920 --> 01:27:53.560 WrestleMania is special to me for a lot of different reasons. 1350 01:27:56.239 --> 01:27:58.520 I think I should be able to tell I can 1351 01:27:58.600 --> 01:28:02.760 tell this story now, I think without losing my mind, 1352 01:28:03.039 --> 01:28:09.920 without sounding weird. I hope, But at the no, it's 1353 01:28:10.039 --> 01:28:12.159 just that the no, it's not even just a matter 1354 01:28:12.239 --> 01:28:15.239 of that, it's just the fact that there's a lot 1355 01:28:15.399 --> 01:28:19.119 of moving parts to it that I hope will make sense. 1356 01:28:19.239 --> 01:28:22.319 So at the time before, while this WrestleMania was being 1357 01:28:22.399 --> 01:28:27.119 hyped up, WW did an interview contest on TikTok the 1358 01:28:27.199 --> 01:28:30.239 same time, the same way they did a re announcer 1359 01:28:30.359 --> 01:28:36.079 contest and Rain Rain Cruise one that re announcer contest 1360 01:28:36.159 --> 01:28:40.079 for SummerSlam, And I actually had her on my show before, 1361 01:28:40.159 --> 01:28:42.239 so shout out to her. She still does re announcing 1362 01:28:42.960 --> 01:28:48.560 on the West Coast. She they tick that WW and 1363 01:28:48.640 --> 01:28:53.119 TikTok collaborated on an interview contest where you could make 1364 01:28:53.199 --> 01:28:57.319 these videos pretending like you were interviewing a WW superstars 1365 01:28:57.359 --> 01:29:01.560 side by side. And at the time I knew and 1366 01:29:01.720 --> 01:29:04.640 I was still training and stuff, you know, in wrestling 1367 01:29:04.720 --> 01:29:07.000 journalism with the people who I was working with and 1368 01:29:07.159 --> 01:29:10.159 my show, and I wanted to win this contest so 1369 01:29:10.399 --> 01:29:13.039 bad so I could go to WrestleMania and win the 1370 01:29:13.159 --> 01:29:17.880 chance to interview a star backstage. And they said that 1371 01:29:17.960 --> 01:29:21.119 they would announce the winner like like the week, like 1372 01:29:21.199 --> 01:29:25.239 a few days before that WrestleMania and everything, and I 1373 01:29:25.359 --> 01:29:29.479 got my nails done in the blue and everything, and 1374 01:29:30.199 --> 01:29:33.880 they never announced Huan because they wound up actually going 1375 01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:36.720 with somebody completely different and not even winning, and not 1376 01:29:36.840 --> 01:29:39.239 even having anybody win the contest. And when I tell you, 1377 01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:43.359 I was devastated, like I was crying and everything. But 1378 01:29:43.560 --> 01:29:46.119 Emily May, someone who's out in Vegas right now, who 1379 01:29:46.319 --> 01:29:50.399 is an interviewer and does broadcast work with various promotions 1380 01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:53.840 all over Texas and everywhere else, you know, she encouraged 1381 01:29:53.880 --> 01:29:56.479 me and gave me like the best pep talk and everything, 1382 01:29:56.760 --> 01:29:59.560 and I felt better. So I stayed at home and 1383 01:29:59.640 --> 01:30:04.239 watched this WrestleMania with my boyfriend and his family. And 1384 01:30:05.199 --> 01:30:08.439 there were rumors all that time about Cody Rhoades coming back, 1385 01:30:08.479 --> 01:30:11.079 and I'm just like, I don't know, guys, because he 1386 01:30:11.159 --> 01:30:14.159 had left ADW and like I just didn't know if 1387 01:30:14.199 --> 01:30:17.920 he would ever come back. Fast forward, I'm sitting there 1388 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:22.960 with my blue nails, watching Seth Rollins talk about who's 1389 01:30:23.039 --> 01:30:25.479 my opponent? Bring him out, don't make me wait, you know, 1390 01:30:25.600 --> 01:30:28.039 and all this other stuff, and then the fireworks go 1391 01:30:28.199 --> 01:30:32.760 off and then the music starts at It's Cody, and 1392 01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:37.960 I'm in deep shock. I'm in deep shock that Cody 1393 01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:41.920 Roads really came back here. And not only did he 1394 01:30:42.039 --> 01:30:44.960 come back, he had a heck of a match with Seth, 1395 01:30:45.000 --> 01:30:47.399 which fed into a rivalry they had over the course 1396 01:30:47.439 --> 01:30:50.439 of that year, three matches against each other, one of 1397 01:30:50.479 --> 01:30:53.279 which in Hell and the Cell, all the things, and 1398 01:30:54.600 --> 01:30:56.920 just that moment, I just sat there in shock and 1399 01:30:57.000 --> 01:30:59.479 I couldn't believe it. Even as he was walking down 1400 01:30:59.560 --> 01:31:02.680 the ramp. I didn't believe it until the ring announcer 1401 01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:06.560 announced his name and said the American Nightmare, Cody Roads. 1402 01:31:07.079 --> 01:31:09.960 I didn't believe it. Mind you, this man is halfway 1403 01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:12.920 to the ring, and I'm still just looking like is 1404 01:31:13.000 --> 01:31:15.560 this even real? Like am I dreaming this? Like is 1405 01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:18.840 this a fever dream? Am I high? Like what's going on? 1406 01:31:19.399 --> 01:31:23.159 But no, Cody was really there, and it was just 1407 01:31:23.439 --> 01:31:27.079 really nuts. So this is a This is like my 1408 01:31:27.239 --> 01:31:31.319 number three. And I'm so happy that he actually did 1409 01:31:31.439 --> 01:31:34.399 return because of course he was able to go on 1410 01:31:34.560 --> 01:31:36.880 his journey to prove that he could be a top guy, 1411 01:31:36.960 --> 01:31:40.800 and he is a top guy, so it was It 1412 01:31:40.920 --> 01:31:44.239 was wonderful and I hold this moment very dear. But 1413 01:31:45.000 --> 01:31:49.039 that WrestleMania in Texas was essentially the catalyst of my 1414 01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:54.640 motivation to get to Mania as a media person, which 1415 01:31:54.720 --> 01:32:00.680 I did, and I did wind up, you know, becoming 1416 01:32:00.760 --> 01:32:07.159 a person who could interview ww stars, not backstage but 1417 01:32:07.319 --> 01:32:10.399 other places, you know, the media junkets and everything, and 1418 01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:15.359 that essentially was that and also working with the place 1419 01:32:15.439 --> 01:32:18.800 I was working at was a part of my motivation 1420 01:32:19.119 --> 01:32:21.079 to get there because I knew I could do it 1421 01:32:21.199 --> 01:32:23.640 because I worked really hard and I knew I could, 1422 01:32:23.840 --> 01:32:29.840 so Yeah, and then of course that WrestleMania also had 1423 01:32:29.880 --> 01:32:32.359 Bianca fighting Becky Lunch and coming out there with the 1424 01:32:32.920 --> 01:32:35.439 Texas Southern Marching Band and everything. There were so many 1425 01:32:35.520 --> 01:32:38.880 moments at that Mania that I really wanted to be 1426 01:32:39.000 --> 01:32:43.199 there for, but you know, God saw another way, and 1427 01:32:43.840 --> 01:32:48.680 his way is better than mine. So yeah, Cody coming 1428 01:32:48.760 --> 01:32:50.359 back was special and I loved it. 1429 01:32:50.760 --> 01:32:54.520 When Cody came out, I didn't know that song was 1430 01:32:54.920 --> 01:33:00.039 really was unfamiliar to me. Kingdom, I didn't know. I 1431 01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:02.600 didn't know who was coming out because I wasn't familiar 1432 01:33:02.680 --> 01:33:06.119 with the Kingdom song. And I saw Cody Rose and 1433 01:33:06.119 --> 01:33:12.800 I'm like wow, but like like like you, I was, 1434 01:33:13.079 --> 01:33:18.279 because like don't you have your old don't don't whatever 1435 01:33:18.479 --> 01:33:27.039 don't you have. But yeah, when I watched it last year, 1436 01:33:27.680 --> 01:33:30.840 when I watched it back, I forgot that even happened. 1437 01:33:34.520 --> 01:33:41.560 I keep forgetting what's going I keep forgetting there was 1438 01:33:41.600 --> 01:33:47.000 a surprise, and then hearing Kingdom helps me realize, oh, 1439 01:33:47.039 --> 01:33:53.039 it's kind of now. But but yeah, and then you 1440 01:33:53.159 --> 01:33:59.920 talk about Beionca's entrance that was on my WrestleMania moments. 1441 01:34:00.279 --> 01:34:05.000 But yeah, I made you narrow it down. 1442 01:34:05.199 --> 01:34:15.159 Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's hey, I'm just I'm 1443 01:34:15.199 --> 01:34:19.720 happy you mentioned it. So yeah, that I know this 1444 01:34:19.880 --> 01:34:26.439 is your moment, you can have it. That everything about 1445 01:34:26.520 --> 01:34:36.359 that moment with the Texas Southern University, I'm I'm a 1446 01:34:36.439 --> 01:34:39.000 sucker for drum lines. I'm a sucker for a good 1447 01:34:39.079 --> 01:34:45.960 marching van. Oh so good. 1448 01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:52.239 Yeah, yeah it was incredible. So yeah, Cody coming back 1449 01:34:52.279 --> 01:34:54.640 in this way at this Mania, just with the pomp 1450 01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:57.600 and circumstance and the grandeur, it was just so cool. 1451 01:34:57.800 --> 01:35:00.399 So I feel like and then I also like this 1452 01:35:00.720 --> 01:35:04.000 was a perfect introduction to what to really what the 1453 01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:07.319 motivation of the American Nightmare is all about. Because you 1454 01:35:07.439 --> 01:35:09.720 saw him make his entrance, you saw him do the whall, 1455 01:35:10.319 --> 01:35:13.279 and then you saw him you know, interact with the 1456 01:35:13.399 --> 01:35:16.960 children and actually give you know, his belt to one 1457 01:35:17.039 --> 01:35:18.800 of the kids in the front row, and they were 1458 01:35:18.800 --> 01:35:21.720 sitting there in shock, like you know. It was just 1459 01:35:21.840 --> 01:35:25.239 a wonderful moment and a wonderful introduction to this version 1460 01:35:25.319 --> 01:35:28.800 of Cody that a lot of people who are who 1461 01:35:28.840 --> 01:35:32.479 are probably just WWE fans, you know, you know, had 1462 01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:35.600 never seen before. So it was just really cool. So 1463 01:35:36.560 --> 01:35:39.199 it was wonderful. I love this moment, and I love 1464 01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:42.000 the match afterward. Him and Seth did a heck of 1465 01:35:42.079 --> 01:35:45.199 a job. It's a wonderful match for sure. I think 1466 01:35:45.279 --> 01:35:47.439 I ranked this match in one of my articles that 1467 01:35:47.479 --> 01:35:50.640 I released last year about the greatest matches in my 1468 01:35:50.800 --> 01:35:54.119 opinion of WrestleMania history, because it was so good and 1469 01:35:54.199 --> 01:35:56.800 because of the moment of it all, so it was great. 1470 01:35:56.880 --> 01:36:04.520 I loved it. So my number two it is a 1471 01:36:04.600 --> 01:36:06.640 match that I feel like doesn't get enough credit at all. 1472 01:36:06.800 --> 01:36:11.920 This happened last year as well, was Tiffany Stratton versus 1473 01:36:12.039 --> 01:36:16.640 Charlotte Flair for the Women's Championship. Of course, Tiffany had 1474 01:36:16.720 --> 01:36:21.279 a banner beginner year as AWW champion, and this was 1475 01:36:21.319 --> 01:36:23.880 sort of a dream match for women's wrestling fans who 1476 01:36:25.039 --> 01:36:29.079 saw the similarities that Tiffany had to Charlotte and wanted 1477 01:36:29.079 --> 01:36:31.560 to see this match happen. Now, of course, there was 1478 01:36:31.600 --> 01:36:34.800 a lot of drama, with a lot of things that 1479 01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:38.479 were said in promos about Charlotte's personal life and so 1480 01:36:38.600 --> 01:36:42.319 many other things. But when it came down to the 1481 01:36:42.479 --> 01:36:45.600 match itself and also to the grandeur because Tiffany Stratton 1482 01:36:45.680 --> 01:36:51.079 came out like a Barbie doll and then Charlotte came 1483 01:36:51.119 --> 01:36:54.840 out with her corset and everything. It was just fantastic. 1484 01:36:56.800 --> 01:37:00.760 Then on top of that, you had the monte played 1485 01:37:00.800 --> 01:37:03.600 before and the song that they used was Lady Gotga's 1486 01:37:03.640 --> 01:37:07.800 Perfect Celebrity. It was so amazing and it just fit 1487 01:37:07.880 --> 01:37:10.880 the both of them to a tea. And this match 1488 01:37:11.159 --> 01:37:15.960 was a perfect mixture of brawling and hate for each 1489 01:37:16.000 --> 01:37:19.319 other as rivals and also technical work as well, And 1490 01:37:19.399 --> 01:37:21.119 I feel like it doesn't get enough credit for how 1491 01:37:21.159 --> 01:37:26.439 good it was. So this was a great moment to 1492 01:37:26.600 --> 01:37:30.279 have witnessed in women's wrestling history. Also on a personal level, 1493 01:37:30.319 --> 01:37:33.680 I wanted to see Charlotte Flair win because my friend 1494 01:37:33.720 --> 01:37:35.840 who I have mentioned on this show before, who has 1495 01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:39.520 been on the show before or had been, was Nicky Bougie, 1496 01:37:40.159 --> 01:37:45.199 who was a wrestling journalist. Charlotte Flair was her favorite 1497 01:37:46.239 --> 01:37:49.920 women's wrestler, favorite horsewoman, and she had passed earlier that year, 1498 01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:53.520 and I wanted Charlotte to win in her honor so bad, 1499 01:37:53.640 --> 01:37:55.640 and it wound up not going that way. Tiffany wound 1500 01:37:55.720 --> 01:37:58.840 up winning, which was probably the better choice at the time, 1501 01:37:59.359 --> 01:38:02.119 but emotion I wanted Charlotte to win so bad for 1502 01:38:02.239 --> 01:38:05.800 my girl, Nikki. But it's okay because at least I 1503 01:38:06.000 --> 01:38:08.960 know that this match was still really good in the 1504 01:38:09.039 --> 01:38:14.279 midst of it all. So yeah, this is one of 1505 01:38:14.359 --> 01:38:16.239 my moments. It was really great. 1506 01:38:18.560 --> 01:38:23.760 Thank you, she's here right now? Yeah, I know she is. 1507 01:38:24.399 --> 01:38:32.760 Yes, Nikki Boogie always we mentioned we speak your name 1508 01:38:32.880 --> 01:38:39.159 forever girl. Oh yeah, she she was a She was 1509 01:38:39.279 --> 01:38:42.279 thunder and enlightening in the wrestling community. I swear you 1510 01:38:42.520 --> 01:38:46.640 you would have loved her for sure. So yeah, this 1511 01:38:46.840 --> 01:38:49.239 match was incredible. I'm glad I got to witness it, 1512 01:38:50.680 --> 01:38:53.319 and yeah, I just I just feel like it deserves 1513 01:38:53.359 --> 01:38:56.039 more credit, and I feel like maybe it'll give more 1514 01:38:56.079 --> 01:39:01.119 credit as years go by. But yeah, this match was 1515 01:39:01.159 --> 01:39:01.800 really good to me. 1516 01:39:02.479 --> 01:39:04.319 Why do I feel like trist Shattis was a part 1517 01:39:04.359 --> 01:39:05.000 of this match. 1518 01:39:05.960 --> 01:39:09.840 Uh no, Well, Tiffany actually fought tristrat Is at Evolution, 1519 01:39:10.279 --> 01:39:13.039 so that was the same year, but that was a 1520 01:39:13.079 --> 01:39:17.880 few months later. Yeah, okay, okay, okay, yeah, and that 1521 01:39:18.000 --> 01:39:20.840 match was great too. But either way, like just a 1522 01:39:20.920 --> 01:39:25.760 lot of blonde power in the midst of all of 1523 01:39:25.800 --> 01:39:31.680 these runs, but yeah, it was great. I also want 1524 01:39:31.720 --> 01:39:37.560 to say the Hardy Boys coming back. I think I 1525 01:39:37.720 --> 01:39:41.319 meant to take this off, but I think I left 1526 01:39:41.359 --> 01:39:45.079 it on here simply because I'm biased and they're my brothers. 1527 01:39:45.800 --> 01:39:49.319 When they came back at the WrestleMania in Florida, I 1528 01:39:49.439 --> 01:39:53.399 wanted to die and I was screaming my head off 1529 01:39:54.399 --> 01:39:57.600 because this was it was kind of the worst kept 1530 01:39:57.640 --> 01:40:00.800 secret because people, the rumor mill was going off about 1531 01:40:00.880 --> 01:40:03.279 them and everything. But I just didn't I try to 1532 01:40:03.359 --> 01:40:06.000 wait and see what happens first, because rumors can be 1533 01:40:06.840 --> 01:40:09.680 just that rumors. But when they came out and the 1534 01:40:09.800 --> 01:40:13.439 New Day essentially said who could this thirteen possibly be? 1535 01:40:15.800 --> 01:40:18.520 And then and then the Hardy Boys music hit, I did. 1536 01:40:18.680 --> 01:40:21.439 I could not stop screaming. This is also where my 1537 01:40:21.520 --> 01:40:24.039 boyfriend's mother put to put together that me and the 1538 01:40:24.119 --> 01:40:27.159 Hardy Boys have the same last name. So because she 1539 01:40:27.279 --> 01:40:29.880 could not understand why I was screaming, Oh my god, 1540 01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:32.239 my brothers, and she was just like what and I 1541 01:40:32.359 --> 01:40:34.880 was just like and she was like, oh, yeah, your 1542 01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:40.039 last name is Hardy and I'm like yeah. So everybody 1543 01:40:40.159 --> 01:40:43.359 was popping. I was screaming, I could not breathe. It 1544 01:40:43.560 --> 01:40:47.520 was just a lot. But this moment, I would call 1545 01:40:47.640 --> 01:40:53.640 this another honorable mention for sure, because it was just 1546 01:40:53.800 --> 01:40:56.319 very special for me. I just could not stop screaming. 1547 01:40:57.399 --> 01:41:00.239 A lot had already happened in that mania anyway, but 1548 01:41:00.359 --> 01:41:02.760 it was just very special to see them come out 1549 01:41:02.920 --> 01:41:05.359 and participate in WrestleMania in a ladder match for the 1550 01:41:05.439 --> 01:41:08.520 tag ting titles and they won, so it was great. 1551 01:41:09.920 --> 01:41:14.520 This is actually this is actually on some favorite Wrestlematia moments. 1552 01:41:14.600 --> 01:41:19.319 So I am so happy this is your moment and 1553 01:41:19.640 --> 01:41:22.279 you were talking about it because this is one of 1554 01:41:22.399 --> 01:41:25.800 my favorite moments of all time. I didn't know that 1555 01:41:25.960 --> 01:41:30.479 they were returning, so when they return and the crap, 1556 01:41:30.880 --> 01:41:35.000 I'm a sucker for a loud pop, for a good 1557 01:41:35.319 --> 01:41:39.359 loud pop, and that was a good loud pop. And 1558 01:41:39.479 --> 01:41:42.039 then the New Day acting like three fools that I 1559 01:41:42.199 --> 01:41:47.960 love and miss so much, Like during the song and 1560 01:41:48.039 --> 01:41:51.800 then Jeff party like your brother, narrow like during his 1561 01:41:52.039 --> 01:41:58.239 day and just walking down that ramp. Oh my gosh, 1562 01:41:59.600 --> 01:42:06.079 like h I mean, and yeah, yeah, I think this 1563 01:42:06.399 --> 01:42:12.119 was my first time actually seeing the Hardy Boys. I've 1564 01:42:12.199 --> 01:42:15.520 heard of them, I've heard their name, the Hardy Boys, 1565 01:42:15.600 --> 01:42:19.439 but actually seeing them, I think that's this was my 1566 01:42:20.640 --> 01:42:27.720 introduction to the Hardy Boys and actually and seeing and 1567 01:42:27.800 --> 01:42:31.640 getting to know them and seeing them. So I became 1568 01:42:31.680 --> 01:42:35.600 a fan of them that night. I know I sound very. 1569 01:42:35.479 --> 01:42:41.720 Slow, but but I have no I've heard, I've heard, I've. 1570 01:42:41.600 --> 01:42:44.960 Heard of the Hardy Boys. So am I really that? 1571 01:42:46.720 --> 01:42:51.359 No? I know, I know if they're not Jeff is 1572 01:42:51.399 --> 01:42:57.359 my favorite or ever, I feel like honestly, Jeff is 1573 01:42:57.439 --> 01:43:00.239 basically just the collective favorite out of all of them. 1574 01:43:00.319 --> 01:43:02.560 But I just love them both simply because they're just 1575 01:43:02.680 --> 01:43:05.960 both of them, you know, Like, I just love them 1576 01:43:06.039 --> 01:43:08.279 both and they're just my brothers. And hopefully one day 1577 01:43:08.279 --> 01:43:11.279 I'll get to meet them because it would be awesome. 1578 01:43:12.359 --> 01:43:20.319 So yeah, read the Hollywood. I've been trying. I've been 1579 01:43:20.359 --> 01:43:23.640 trying for so long, But it'll happen even if I 1580 01:43:23.920 --> 01:43:27.600 just even if I just meet them, it's fine. 1581 01:43:29.359 --> 01:43:32.399 So what we called episode will be called family. 1582 01:43:32.640 --> 01:43:40.399 Or yeah, the family exactly, the hearty compound. I don't know, yes, 1583 01:43:41.920 --> 01:43:52.520 girl man, Yeah, but ultimately I think my number one, 1584 01:43:55.640 --> 01:43:58.760 I'm not the one of my friends. My number one 1585 01:43:59.159 --> 01:44:05.319 is always to be kovie Mania. Forever and always It's 1586 01:44:05.399 --> 01:44:11.479 Kofe Mania. That's it. I don't think this this needs 1587 01:44:11.960 --> 01:44:12.800 any narrative. 1588 01:44:13.359 --> 01:44:13.399 No. 1589 01:44:15.880 --> 01:44:19.319 Yeah, I've told the story on this show before about 1590 01:44:19.359 --> 01:44:22.880 how this made me feel and how this moment had 1591 01:44:23.000 --> 01:44:27.760 me sobbing the way that Xavier was sobbing. That's essentially 1592 01:44:27.840 --> 01:44:30.520 how I was sobbing in my boyfriend's latine. This happened. 1593 01:44:31.439 --> 01:44:34.680 This is a moment where y'all know how Drew McIntyre 1594 01:44:34.760 --> 01:44:36.640 likes to say, I prayed for this and it happened. No, 1595 01:44:36.800 --> 01:44:40.600 I literally got on my knees and asked God for 1596 01:44:40.720 --> 01:44:49.560 this to happen, and it did. So Yeah, this, Yeah, 1597 01:44:50.720 --> 01:44:56.000 tofee Mania is important and it always will be important, 1598 01:44:56.039 --> 01:45:02.239 regardless of how the championship reign ended. It happened just 1599 01:45:03.199 --> 01:45:08.279 overshadows any negativity. It overshadows any doubt, the representation of it, 1600 01:45:08.399 --> 01:45:11.159 the love of it, you know, the new day being 1601 01:45:11.319 --> 01:45:16.640 the best positive, the most positive versions of themselves pushing 1602 01:45:16.720 --> 01:45:19.720 Kofee to this moment, the fans pushing Kofee to this moment, 1603 01:45:22.239 --> 01:45:27.119 the signs and everything. Honestly, this WrestleMania that year could 1604 01:45:27.159 --> 01:45:29.479 have ended right here and I would have been satisfied. 1605 01:45:30.920 --> 01:45:33.199 I would have been happier. But of course the women 1606 01:45:33.279 --> 01:45:35.439 had the main event and that was great. But you know, 1607 01:45:38.159 --> 01:45:41.159 but yeah, this the paper you could have ended right 1608 01:45:41.199 --> 01:45:45.000 here and I would have been happy because I was 1609 01:45:45.159 --> 01:45:46.840 just so thrilled. 1610 01:45:47.359 --> 01:45:49.399 And then his children came into the ring. 1611 01:45:50.520 --> 01:45:52.600 Yep, and they had their shirts on. I have that 1612 01:45:52.720 --> 01:45:58.199 shirt and I also have the Koffee Mania shirt that 1613 01:45:58.319 --> 01:46:00.399 was in the WrestleMania logo that you're on. Yeah, like 1614 01:46:00.520 --> 01:46:05.439 I bawled out. I lost my mind. I had New 1615 01:46:05.520 --> 01:46:08.319 Day shirts anyway, But when Kobe had his own T shirt, 1616 01:46:08.520 --> 01:46:11.119 actually I bought the blue shirt that had his big 1617 01:46:11.319 --> 01:46:16.520 face on the front and had eleven hashtag eleven years 1618 01:46:16.600 --> 01:46:19.279 on the sleeve. Like I bawled out. When it came 1619 01:46:19.319 --> 01:46:24.399 to Kobe made I played no games, no games at all. 1620 01:46:26.960 --> 01:46:29.399 This was a cannon event in my wrestling fandom. 1621 01:46:30.119 --> 01:46:33.119 I remember when I first saw Kobe Kingston during the 1622 01:46:33.319 --> 01:46:37.960 s sost Era and doing trouble in Paradise back in 1623 01:46:38.079 --> 01:46:40.720 the day, back in this this is day, like in 1624 01:46:40.800 --> 01:46:46.880 twenty eleven, late twenty ten, Ah, when I first started 1625 01:46:46.920 --> 01:46:53.239 watching wrestling, and the Boom Boo Monday nights were exception 1626 01:46:53.479 --> 01:46:55.000 vibe back in the day. 1627 01:46:55.800 --> 01:46:58.920 They were. It may not have been perfect, but it 1628 01:46:59.119 --> 01:47:00.000 was a vibe. 1629 01:47:02.239 --> 01:47:07.000 I missed it during before a time. 1630 01:47:08.600 --> 01:47:11.479 Yeah, like I said, it may not have been perfect 1631 01:47:11.640 --> 01:47:13.520 and stuff because it was a different regime, but it 1632 01:47:13.640 --> 01:47:15.880 was still a vibe because you you picked out your 1633 01:47:15.960 --> 01:47:19.199 favorite people who you loved, and Kofi was definitely one 1634 01:47:19.199 --> 01:47:24.000 of my favorites, even from the SOS era. So watching 1635 01:47:24.119 --> 01:47:26.760 him fight and then win all the titles that he 1636 01:47:26.880 --> 01:47:30.159 did win because him and Cmpunk were even tag team 1637 01:47:30.199 --> 01:47:33.520 champions at one point, you know, watching him win all 1638 01:47:33.560 --> 01:47:35.159 the titles that he did win and then get to 1639 01:47:35.399 --> 01:47:38.720 this point right here when nobody ever thought he would. 1640 01:47:39.840 --> 01:47:44.239 You can't beat it, You really can't. So this is 1641 01:47:44.319 --> 01:47:50.520 my number one WrestleMania moment right here. I feel like 1642 01:47:50.600 --> 01:47:53.520 Bianca and Mercedes probably would have been my number one, 1643 01:47:54.079 --> 01:47:56.279 but you made that your honorable mention, so I just 1644 01:47:56.359 --> 01:47:59.840 let you have that one. But they to me, the 1645 01:48:00.039 --> 01:48:03.199 both of those moments right there just are equally as important. 1646 01:48:04.119 --> 01:48:08.800 So yeah, this is the end of our top five 1647 01:48:09.159 --> 01:48:12.760 WrestleMania moments.

WrestleMania 1656 01:48:43.720 --> 01:48:47.159 just builds bonds, you know, So I'm just happy that 1657 01:48:47.199 --> 01:48:49.079 we were able to share that with one another. So 1658 01:48:50.199 --> 01:48:52.439 not that we've bast in the joy of everything, It's 1659 01:48:52.520 --> 01:48:56.319 time to get down to brass tacks. We have to 1660 01:48:56.520 --> 01:49:01.520 give our predictions for this year's Raia, which is of 1661 01:49:01.600 --> 01:49:06.319 course taking place in Las Vegas again at the Allegiance Stadium, 1662 01:49:06.399 --> 01:49:09.520 home of the Las Vegas Raiders, my and my boyfriend's 1663 01:49:09.560 --> 01:49:14.359 football team. Yeah, we love the Las Vegas Raiders. For 1664 01:49:14.479 --> 01:49:18.680 better or for worse, we love them, And yeah, it 1665 01:49:18.840 --> 01:49:20.720 was an honor to be there last year and to 1666 01:49:20.800 --> 01:49:23.840 actually see their Super Bowl trophies and everything. Like, I 1667 01:49:24.000 --> 01:49:27.720 always get a kick out of going into larger stadiums 1668 01:49:27.840 --> 01:49:30.840 like that where NFL teams and other teams you know, 1669 01:49:30.960 --> 01:49:33.439 get to play, and also NBA teams and stuff. So 1670 01:49:34.159 --> 01:49:37.319 I love being in places like that. It's it never 1671 01:49:37.399 --> 01:49:40.199 gets old to me. So and then to have wrestling 1672 01:49:40.239 --> 01:49:42.560 events in them, it's just like, yeah, like I loved 1673 01:49:42.600 --> 01:49:45.000 it because I love being in the Sofi Stadium for 1674 01:49:45.159 --> 01:49:48.079 Mania and thirty nine, so stuff like that. You know, 1675 01:49:48.359 --> 01:49:52.880 as a sports girl, you know, it just never leaves 1676 01:49:52.960 --> 01:49:56.439 me the importance of it. So, WrestleMania will be happening 1677 01:49:56.479 --> 01:50:02.119 in Vegas this weekend.

Now, 1694 01:51:11.760 --> 01:51:14.520 before we give our predictions, we do have to hold 1695 01:51:14.600 --> 01:51:17.880 space for the fact that this WrestleMania will be hosted 1696 01:51:18.640 --> 01:51:25.479 by the one and only John Sina. It's so interesting. 1697 01:51:25.520 --> 01:51:28.079 We were talking about WrestleMania twenty seven and how The 1698 01:51:28.199 --> 01:51:30.159 Rock was hosting it, and now you fast forward and 1699 01:51:30.239 --> 01:51:33.880 now you've got John Ceno, who's officially retired now but 1700 01:51:34.039 --> 01:51:36.079 has not left the world of wrestling and has not 1701 01:51:36.239 --> 01:51:41.119 left us behind completely and he's hosting Mania this year. 1702 01:51:41.359 --> 01:51:44.439 So yeah, cool stuff. It will be good to see 1703 01:51:44.520 --> 01:51:49.960 him mix it up with us. I don't know how 1704 01:51:50.039 --> 01:51:51.600 our reacts when they hear the song. 1705 01:51:51.840 --> 01:51:52.319 I might. 1706 01:51:54.760 --> 01:51:58.760 I might pass out me too, so I might cry. 1707 01:52:00.680 --> 01:52:02.119 The tears might be heavy. 1708 01:52:03.079 --> 01:52:10.319 So oh god, oh, oh oh god, oh god. 1709 01:52:10.960 --> 01:52:13.000 It's been too long and weird, and. 1710 01:52:17.119 --> 01:52:21.640 Four months without John Cena it's just too much. It's 1711 01:52:21.720 --> 01:52:24.039 too much. But we get to have him for two 1712 01:52:24.199 --> 01:52:27.520 nights this weekend, and WrestleMania is the perfect place for it. 1713 01:52:27.840 --> 01:52:30.560 So yeah, this is gonna be cool. It will be 1714 01:52:30.680 --> 01:52:33.720 nice to have him back, even for just a little while. 1715 01:52:34.399 --> 01:52:37.039 Well, and how is it going to dress. 1716 01:52:37.520 --> 01:52:42.479 We don't know. That's a surprise. We gotta wait and see, 1717 01:52:43.479 --> 01:52:49.319 but yeah, I'm pumped. It's gonna be cool. So we're 1718 01:52:49.399 --> 01:52:53.199 gonna start with the women of Night one of WrestleMania. 1719 01:52:53.279 --> 01:52:56.359 We're gonna give our predictions, and we're gonna start with 1720 01:52:56.920 --> 01:52:59.199 a Jane Lee. I did this for you, Bianca, because 1721 01:52:59.199 --> 01:53:00.479 I know you want to get it to this one. 1722 01:53:00.840 --> 01:53:04.479 We're gonna give our predictions for aj Lee versus Becky 1723 01:53:04.560 --> 01:53:09.800 Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. Becky Lynch, of course, 1724 01:53:09.840 --> 01:53:13.960 has main evented WrestleMania, of course, being a part of 1725 01:53:14.039 --> 01:53:19.680 the first women's main event. She as she said in 1726 01:53:19.800 --> 01:53:22.279 that promo that she had with aj Lee, said that 1727 01:53:22.319 --> 01:53:26.439 WrestleMania is her home. But at the same time she's 1728 01:53:26.600 --> 01:53:29.600 overriding the fact or completely ignoring the fact that she 1729 01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:33.119 doesn't have that moment without aj Lee breaking down those 1730 01:53:33.239 --> 01:53:37.319 barriers and having the matches that she did have and 1731 01:53:37.560 --> 01:53:41.239 advocating for the women to have better. So you have 1732 01:53:41.399 --> 01:53:45.880 a legend in aj going up against a person who 1733 01:53:45.960 --> 01:53:49.279 is the representative of everything that she fought for in 1734 01:53:49.439 --> 01:53:52.640 terms of the future of women's wrestling. So I'm pumped 1735 01:53:52.640 --> 01:53:56.760 about this match. So Bianka, give your prediction. Who do 1736 01:53:56.840 --> 01:53:57.640 you think is gonna win? 1737 01:53:58.640 --> 01:54:06.520 It's about I've been thinking long and hard about this, 1738 01:54:07.000 --> 01:54:13.079 and I haven't always been thinking. I always feel like 1739 01:54:13.359 --> 01:54:18.840 Paige will return to help AJ win because Paige, because 1740 01:54:18.960 --> 01:54:24.840 she has been talking about wanting to pay, wanting to fight, 1741 01:54:25.239 --> 01:54:28.239 wanting to be in the match with Page, and she 1742 01:54:28.479 --> 01:54:34.880 posted on her story and a J posted a video 1743 01:54:35.039 --> 01:54:39.279 about Page. He's been talking about it, and Caitlin too, 1744 01:54:40.239 --> 01:54:43.640 So one of them might come back to help Page 1745 01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:45.039 to help AJ retain. 1746 01:54:46.560 --> 01:54:51.960 That's my that's my Okay. 1747 01:54:53.479 --> 01:54:57.840 Well, I really do think that that that's that will happen. 1748 01:54:58.560 --> 01:55:04.399 I don't know, Oh yeah, because the hype is the 1749 01:55:04.800 --> 01:55:09.079 hype around it and Page hyping it up to not 1750 01:55:09.359 --> 01:55:16.199 just the WrestleMania for WrestleMania, but like her return, a 1751 01:55:16.319 --> 01:55:28.119 return to WWE. Videos in practicing in wrestling rings. So yeah, 1752 01:55:28.119 --> 01:55:29.920 I really do think Paige will return. 1753 01:55:33.039 --> 01:55:39.159 Yeah, Okay, that's a pretty valid prediction. Of course, we 1754 01:55:39.239 --> 01:55:43.640 don't know if we don't know exactly what could happen, 1755 01:55:43.760 --> 01:55:48.159 because WrestleMania is or can be, full of surprises. I 1756 01:55:48.319 --> 01:55:52.600 know Becky has been known to not be above cheating, 1757 01:55:52.880 --> 01:55:56.119 so I of course she tried to cheat and to 1758 01:55:56.279 --> 01:56:01.079 even try to retain the Women's Intercontinental title elimination chamber, 1759 01:56:01.880 --> 01:56:05.039 so you never know exactly what could happen with that. 1760 01:56:05.239 --> 01:56:08.079 It would be cool if the Chickbusters got back together 1761 01:56:08.199 --> 01:56:13.039 and you know, decided to sort of keep and keep 1762 01:56:13.119 --> 01:56:17.560 things even with Becky lynchin Adre. But I think my 1763 01:56:17.720 --> 01:56:20.880 prediction is that aj Lee will retain simply because this 1764 01:56:21.000 --> 01:56:24.479 is her first Mania back in so long, and also 1765 01:56:24.600 --> 01:56:27.680 because on a very personal level, from a fan perspective, 1766 01:56:27.720 --> 01:56:30.880 I'm not entirely interested in seeing Becky hold the icy 1767 01:56:31.039 --> 01:56:36.239 title anymore. I personally would like it better if aj 1768 01:56:36.560 --> 01:56:40.359 were able, of course, her schedule permitting, I would have 1769 01:56:40.560 --> 01:56:43.279 liked it better if aj had more time to fight 1770 01:56:43.399 --> 01:56:47.640 with other competitors besides her, because I feel like Becky 1771 01:56:47.760 --> 01:56:50.319 has done just about everything she could possibly do with 1772 01:56:50.600 --> 01:56:54.039 that mid card title, and I do appreciate the fact 1773 01:56:54.079 --> 01:56:56.720 that her big name being attached to this brand new 1774 01:56:56.800 --> 01:56:59.079 title is good for it and the health of it. 1775 01:56:59.760 --> 01:57:02.520 But I kind of want to see aj Lee fight 1776 01:57:02.680 --> 01:57:07.720 against or feud against someone else after wrestle Mania for 1777 01:57:07.920 --> 01:57:13.680 that title, like maybe Raquel Rodriguez or maybe Roxanne Perez 1778 01:57:13.760 --> 01:57:18.720 now that she's come back, Like that's something else that 1779 01:57:18.880 --> 01:57:21.079 I would like to see. I want to see her 1780 01:57:21.800 --> 01:57:25.039 fight more people, more women, and then, of course, you know, 1781 01:57:25.159 --> 01:57:27.319 you never know, after Mania, there could be more call 1782 01:57:27.439 --> 01:57:31.399 ups from NXT. I want to see aj actually have 1783 01:57:31.560 --> 01:57:33.399 a run with the title that's a little bit longer 1784 01:57:33.479 --> 01:57:35.680 than that, and actually see her fight newer opponents who 1785 01:57:35.960 --> 01:57:38.479 who have probably dreamed of facing off against aj their 1786 01:57:38.640 --> 01:57:43.399 entire careers. I want to see. And then on top 1787 01:57:43.479 --> 01:57:45.960 of that, like I don't know, I just want aj 1788 01:57:46.239 --> 01:57:50.159 to win. So I'm predicting aj Lee will retain because 1789 01:57:50.560 --> 01:57:52.840 I still feel like there are uncharted waters with her 1790 01:57:53.079 --> 01:57:53.840 holding the title. 1791 01:57:54.439 --> 01:57:57.840 Me too, and I'm not in no Becky I've met 1792 01:57:58.520 --> 01:58:01.640 I've met both of them there. They were both so 1793 01:58:01.840 --> 01:58:05.439 kind and so we have never forgot. But yeah, yeah. 1794 01:58:07.880 --> 01:58:17.840 Forever SOEs love you, Becker but a j Yeah, all right, 1795 01:58:18.319 --> 01:58:21.159 And next on the docket to predict, we have the 1796 01:58:21.640 --> 01:58:25.439 four Well it's not a it's we have the tag 1797 01:58:25.560 --> 01:58:29.680 team the Women's Tag Team Championship fatal four way match 1798 01:58:29.760 --> 01:58:37.319 between Charlexa bay Lyra, The Irresistible Forces, Naya Jackson, Lash Legend, 1799 01:58:37.319 --> 01:58:40.359 who are the current women's Tag team champions, and the 1800 01:58:40.479 --> 01:58:44.840 Beli Twins permitting Nikki is okay from having her ankle 1801 01:58:45.600 --> 01:58:49.560 rolled in that one match. I'm excited for this because 1802 01:58:49.600 --> 01:58:52.439 I'm always happy to see the women's tag team titles defended, 1803 01:58:53.760 --> 01:58:57.720 and all of these women collectively have made the women's 1804 01:58:57.760 --> 01:59:04.520 tag team titles seeing more and more exciting to watch 1805 01:59:04.600 --> 01:59:07.399 over the past couple of months. And I actually would 1806 01:59:07.439 --> 01:59:09.399 have loved it if this were a ladder match, But honestly, 1807 01:59:09.479 --> 01:59:12.439 it's okay that isn't I feel like the ladder match 1808 01:59:12.479 --> 01:59:14.840 that is happening for the men's Intercontinental title could have 1809 01:59:14.880 --> 01:59:17.720 gone to this, But then again, that's just me being crazy. 1810 01:59:21.039 --> 01:59:25.479 I've loved seeing Lash and Nile hold the titles for now, 1811 01:59:25.680 --> 01:59:31.359 but I think I'm gonna predict that the Bella's All 1812 01:59:31.479 --> 01:59:35.159 Health the Bellas are going to win the tag titles. 1813 01:59:36.880 --> 01:59:40.439 I think the Bellas. It's the Bella's time, honestly, and 1814 01:59:41.319 --> 01:59:43.399 if you really, you know, get down to the brass 1815 01:59:43.479 --> 01:59:48.319 tags of it when it comes to just the history 1816 01:59:48.359 --> 01:59:50.560 of women's wrestling as a whole in terms of modern 1817 01:59:50.680 --> 01:59:54.319 in the past ten to fifteen years, they really were 1818 01:59:54.479 --> 01:59:57.239 like the tag team that we've been the most familiar 1819 01:59:57.279 --> 01:59:59.600 with who never had a chance at those titles because 1820 01:59:59.600 --> 02:00:02.720 those ti did not exist during their initial runs. So 1821 02:00:03.760 --> 02:00:08.880 I am definitely a fan of them winning. So I'm 1822 02:00:08.960 --> 02:00:12.439 predicting that the Bella Twins will win the women's tag 1823 02:00:12.479 --> 02:00:17.079 team titles, and I'm also predicting that Bailey might crash 1824 02:00:17.119 --> 02:00:21.680 out on Myra because of it. So that's my prediction. Beyoncle, 1825 02:00:21.680 --> 02:00:22.239 what's yours? 1826 02:00:23.039 --> 02:00:25.319 I don't know. I just think that there was just 1827 02:00:25.359 --> 02:00:30.399 stible forces will retained and that and the Bella Twins 1828 02:00:31.279 --> 02:00:36.039 winning too. Oh yeah. I just there's something about that 1829 02:00:36.119 --> 02:00:39.560 years of stiple forces. I just can't get my mind 1830 02:00:40.399 --> 02:00:49.399 away from the like, they haven't the champions for a while, right, 1831 02:00:50.560 --> 02:00:53.920 so losing it now would be would not be right? 1832 02:00:55.680 --> 02:01:00.920 Was last legend? No no, no, I would not be right. 1833 02:01:01.439 --> 02:01:04.119 For my soul, it might that would not be right. 1834 02:01:04.479 --> 02:01:10.560 But if it in the event that it does happen, 1835 02:01:11.600 --> 02:01:18.520 I think, yeah, I'm with you. I think the Billetsuins 1836 02:01:18.560 --> 02:01:27.000 will win. We've had the I I love Charlotte and Alexa, 1837 02:01:27.680 --> 02:01:34.159 and I love Bailey and Lyra. Give someone a chance 1838 02:01:36.079 --> 02:01:40.279 all allow the Forces to retain a little bit longer 1839 02:01:40.800 --> 02:01:44.279 because they actually they actually look good with them, and 1840 02:01:44.359 --> 02:01:48.000 they actually make good champions, and their storylines are funny 1841 02:01:48.039 --> 02:01:53.079 and hilarious and they look good and I can I 1842 02:01:53.159 --> 02:02:02.880 feel a crash out coming between if not with uh Alex, 1843 02:02:03.039 --> 02:02:07.880 Alexa and Charlotte, then definitely with Bailey and Lyra. Bailey 1844 02:02:07.960 --> 02:02:12.159 has already started the crash outs in the past, but yeah, but. 1845 02:02:13.800 --> 02:02:14.439 They but. 1846 02:02:15.960 --> 02:02:19.600 They it's stopped, so I think it will. I think 1847 02:02:19.680 --> 02:02:23.600 that will come out again. Yeah, I think the last 1848 02:02:24.600 --> 02:02:26.000 here's this BEFORECE has retained. 1849 02:02:27.439 --> 02:02:31.960 Yeah yeah, yeah, that's valid because they have. They really 1850 02:02:32.119 --> 02:02:34.640 have not been champions for that long. So I definitely 1851 02:02:34.680 --> 02:02:40.960 get your point there. So I get your point. I 1852 02:02:41.079 --> 02:02:43.560 definitely get your point. And it would be great for 1853 02:02:43.640 --> 02:02:46.279 them if they did retain, especially with just being Lashes 1854 02:02:46.319 --> 02:02:50.920 first wrestling, it would be really cool. But yeah, I 1855 02:02:51.000 --> 02:02:54.119 think this is just where we agree to disagree. But 1856 02:02:54.319 --> 02:02:56.560 of course, you know, it's a wait and see type 1857 02:02:56.600 --> 02:02:58.960 of thing. So but either way, I'm very excited, and 1858 02:02:59.079 --> 02:03:02.720 I do love Chart and Alexa Bliss together. I never 1859 02:03:02.800 --> 02:03:05.479 get tired of seeing them together. I almost never don't 1860 02:03:05.479 --> 02:03:08.680 want them to break up at this point, but you know, 1861 02:03:08.800 --> 02:03:12.560 you just never know. But my pick is the belichuins 1862 02:03:13.279 --> 02:03:14.159 to winded things. 1863 02:03:14.239 --> 02:03:16.279 So imagine Rick Fleck comes out. 1864 02:03:19.800 --> 02:03:22.439 Man should stay out of women's business. That's true to 1865 02:03:22.760 --> 02:03:25.840 take on that. Yeah, And speaking of men staying out 1866 02:03:25.880 --> 02:03:30.840 of women's business, somebody who doesn't seem to want to 1867 02:03:30.920 --> 02:03:33.359 ever truly follow that rule a good portion of the time. 1868 02:03:34.359 --> 02:03:37.680 We're here to give our predictions on Live Morgan versus 1869 02:03:37.800 --> 02:03:44.079 Stephanie of a Care for the Women's World Championship. This 1870 02:03:44.279 --> 02:03:46.880 is a match that the fandom is arguing should actually 1871 02:03:47.000 --> 02:03:50.399 man event night one, just because of the pure intensity 1872 02:03:50.560 --> 02:03:54.520 of hatred that has come from these women. You also 1873 02:03:54.680 --> 02:03:57.840 have Lived doubling down on her privilege and also on 1874 02:03:57.960 --> 02:03:59.920 the fact that she has the judgment day as bad. 1875 02:04:00.760 --> 02:04:03.119 You have Stephanie Vikerra who is just not afraid to 1876 02:04:03.159 --> 02:04:05.920 get in her face and beat her up and even 1877 02:04:06.039 --> 02:04:09.279 break her face. Y'all saw what she did with Live 1878 02:04:09.479 --> 02:04:12.199 backstage in their clubhouse and how she broke the TV 1879 02:04:12.359 --> 02:04:16.199 with her like these women have just been bringing it 1880 02:04:16.319 --> 02:04:22.119 throughout this entire feud, and also shout out to Live 1881 02:04:22.159 --> 02:04:24.520 in that music video. It's so funny because when I 1882 02:04:24.560 --> 02:04:26.680 first saw the flashes of that video, I thought for 1883 02:04:26.840 --> 02:04:29.279 sure it was going to be like a feature with 1884 02:04:29.399 --> 02:04:31.880 the Raider Ats, who are the dance team of the 1885 02:04:32.119 --> 02:04:34.119 Las Vegas Raiders. But then it wasn't and it turned 1886 02:04:34.159 --> 02:04:36.920 out to be a music video and it was cute. 1887 02:04:37.840 --> 02:04:42.800 But I'm gonna need for I'm predicting that Stephanie Vikare 1888 02:04:42.840 --> 02:04:45.520 will retain simply because of the fact that this is 1889 02:04:45.560 --> 02:04:49.720 her first WrestleMania Number two. It was just last year 1890 02:04:49.720 --> 02:04:52.319 where she was the NXT Women's Champion and she was 1891 02:04:52.359 --> 02:04:54.840 a part of the announcement of the acquisition of Triple 1892 02:04:54.920 --> 02:04:59.600 A by WWE, and for her to be a part 1893 02:04:59.640 --> 02:05:02.319 of it is absolutely awesome. I just feel like there's 1894 02:05:02.920 --> 02:05:07.039 here again, something more to her being champion that I 1895 02:05:07.119 --> 02:05:11.520 feel like is I'm just not ready. Actually, on a 1896 02:05:11.600 --> 02:05:14.119 personal level, I'm just not ready to see her lose 1897 02:05:14.199 --> 02:05:19.600 because I'm all for Stephanie's supremacy. I'm biased, I'm very biased, 1898 02:05:20.239 --> 02:05:25.199 but you know, I'm predicting that Stephanie Vakobi retained simply 1899 02:05:25.279 --> 02:05:27.760 because I feel like Live Morgan has too much dip 1900 02:05:27.840 --> 02:05:29.600 on her chip and she feels like all of the 1901 02:05:29.800 --> 02:05:34.880 outside things are going to intimidate Stephanie and it's not 1902 02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:39.960 gonna be enough. So that's my prediction, Stephanie vakerb will 1903 02:05:40.000 --> 02:05:42.399 retain beyond the I agree. 1904 02:05:42.479 --> 02:05:46.239 And that music video that Live Morgan put out, Oh 1905 02:05:46.319 --> 02:05:50.039 my god. I don't think I was familiar with her game. 1906 02:05:51.560 --> 02:05:57.039 She wow, she gave Kasha, she gave our realness, she 1907 02:05:57.239 --> 02:06:02.560 gave Britney. Oh my guys, she can dance. She wow. 1908 02:06:02.960 --> 02:06:09.159 I am surprised when I saw that. I didn't I 1909 02:06:09.239 --> 02:06:12.720 didn't know what it was. And then you told me 1910 02:06:12.800 --> 02:06:16.399 to watch it. I was like, okay, and then what 1911 02:06:16.840 --> 02:06:22.359 I I watched? It's fun wow wow like and she 1912 02:06:22.600 --> 02:06:27.439 incorporated like like she can, she can, she can really 1913 02:06:27.520 --> 02:06:33.439 hold a tune, she can really dance. I'm I'm I'm impressed. Wow, 1914 02:06:34.720 --> 02:06:39.479 And this is all part of the storyline. That's amazing. 1915 02:06:40.720 --> 02:06:46.279 That is whoever is the choreographer, whoever, whoever is the 1916 02:06:46.439 --> 02:06:49.840 director and cinematographer for that music video deserves a raise 1917 02:06:49.960 --> 02:06:55.439 because that is that that's amazing, Like Live Morgan gave 1918 02:06:55.560 --> 02:07:02.199 main characters realness. She Wow, she gave popstar a she wow. 1919 02:07:02.439 --> 02:07:06.479 If she ever, I don't know if she does music 1920 02:07:07.119 --> 02:07:11.159 has any more songs, but if she ever decides to 1921 02:07:11.319 --> 02:07:16.319 do this, like put out more music, like oh my god, 1922 02:07:17.319 --> 02:07:20.920 the world is her, the world is her o' easter 1923 02:07:22.359 --> 02:07:25.520 as they say, it was really good. Wow, it was 1924 02:07:26.720 --> 02:07:32.880 I I I actually enjoyed it. It was so Yeah. 1925 02:07:34.239 --> 02:07:36.520 The thing that I found the most interesting about the 1926 02:07:36.600 --> 02:07:38.720 song was the fact that it was elements of her 1927 02:07:38.800 --> 02:07:41.359 theme song Like if you I guess because I'm a 1928 02:07:41.479 --> 02:07:45.039 music nerd, It's just like when I listened to it 1929 02:07:45.119 --> 02:07:49.000 a second time, it really sounded like it really was 1930 02:07:49.159 --> 02:07:53.119 like an amplified version of her theme songs. So that's 1931 02:07:53.199 --> 02:07:57.000 something that I did appreciate about it. And then, of course, 1932 02:07:57.079 --> 02:07:59.279 with all the interviews that she has been doing, and 1933 02:07:59.319 --> 02:08:00.960 then with her all so being on the cover of 1934 02:08:01.000 --> 02:08:06.560 Paper magazine to coincide with Dominic Mysterios cover as well, 1935 02:08:07.279 --> 02:08:10.319 I just feel like there's a level of crossover appill 1936 02:08:10.359 --> 02:08:13.159 that of course she does have. But at the same time, 1937 02:08:13.880 --> 02:08:16.680 I feel like all of this is sort of feeding 1938 02:08:16.720 --> 02:08:19.119 into the notion and she feels like she's bigger than life, 1939 02:08:19.159 --> 02:08:20.880 and I feel like she's going to be humbled real 1940 02:08:20.960 --> 02:08:24.640 quick in that ring. So Stephanie ve Kerr is my 1941 02:08:24.760 --> 02:08:29.560 pick to retain the championship. And that's just how I 1942 02:08:29.600 --> 02:08:33.039 feel about the situation because Live has just been having 1943 02:08:33.119 --> 02:08:35.399 too much dip on her chip. But eventually, when you 1944 02:08:35.520 --> 02:08:37.239 put too much dip on your chip, the chip is 1945 02:08:37.239 --> 02:08:43.039 gonna break. So yeah, it's gonna break Stephanie supremacy. 1946 02:08:43.439 --> 02:08:48.520 Yes. Oh, and then and then Stephanie brings back her 1947 02:08:48.880 --> 02:08:52.600 entrance song The only matters because what is that? 1948 02:08:53.720 --> 02:08:58.239 Okay, I don't know, but we're gonna move into the 1949 02:08:58.399 --> 02:09:03.640 Men of Night one, and of course this match is 1950 02:09:03.680 --> 02:09:06.119 gonna start off kick off the hour that's going to 1951 02:09:06.159 --> 02:09:08.640 be on ESPN two. This is a six man tag 1952 02:09:08.720 --> 02:09:13.560 team match with the tag team champions, the Vision Logan 1953 02:09:13.680 --> 02:09:17.720 Paul and Austin Theory and the debuting I Show Speed 1954 02:09:17.840 --> 02:09:20.680 going up against Jimmy and Jay, the USOS and l 1955 02:09:20.920 --> 02:09:26.760 A Night. Yeah, Bianca, who's your picks? 1956 02:09:26.800 --> 02:09:32.199 So Jay in La simple? Do I even have? We 1957 02:09:32.279 --> 02:09:34.199 don't need to need to do we have? 1958 02:09:34.399 --> 02:09:35.520 Do we have to discuss this? 1959 02:09:35.920 --> 02:09:39.560 We don't need to discuss I mean we technically do 1960 02:09:39.800 --> 02:09:40.560 have to discuss it. 1961 02:09:40.680 --> 02:09:44.680 It's a part of the card, so I know you 1962 02:09:44.800 --> 02:09:47.920 might not necessarily want to. Nobody's really fully looking forward 1963 02:09:47.960 --> 02:09:50.119 to it because they have their feelings that I understand 1964 02:09:50.159 --> 02:09:53.760 they're all valid, but because this is a professional podcast, 1965 02:09:54.279 --> 02:09:56.800 we do have to give our opinion. 1966 02:09:57.439 --> 02:10:04.239 Okay, So LA Knights and the Ussos dominate, destroy and 1967 02:10:04.399 --> 02:10:09.119 nihilate and do their thing, do what they're do their job, 1968 02:10:10.439 --> 02:10:19.039 and don't give me mad because because they will win. 1969 02:10:19.479 --> 02:10:22.760 And yeah, you know who you sound like right now? 1970 02:10:22.800 --> 02:10:25.840 You sound like RuPaul from and she was like, look 1971 02:10:27.279 --> 02:10:30.640 team usso's good luck and don't f it up. 1972 02:10:30.840 --> 02:10:31.159 That's what. 1973 02:10:35.920 --> 02:10:38.800 I feel like. I'm gonna give two predictions. I'm gonna actually, 1974 02:10:40.560 --> 02:10:44.760 uh predict that the Ussos in l A. Knight are 1975 02:10:44.880 --> 02:10:47.119 going to win, But I also I'm also going to 1976 02:10:47.159 --> 02:10:49.439 predict that I Show Speed is going to surprise the 1977 02:10:49.520 --> 02:10:54.279 crap out of us with his wrestling ability because he's 1978 02:10:54.479 --> 02:10:57.760 very athletic as a whole. So I'm ready for him 1979 02:10:57.800 --> 02:11:00.479 to wow us. And I hope you just doesn't get 1980 02:11:00.520 --> 02:11:02.640 beat down the way he did at the Royal rumblelast 1981 02:11:02.720 --> 02:11:03.840 year because that was crazy. 1982 02:11:04.479 --> 02:11:10.960 So yeah, I'm ready for whatever the atual speed is 1983 02:11:11.119 --> 02:11:13.439 to give Logan Paul a black eye. 1984 02:11:14.600 --> 02:11:16.439 Yeah, because he has been putting him through a lot, 1985 02:11:16.760 --> 02:11:18.840 so I agree. 1986 02:11:21.880 --> 02:11:26.039 Because he deserves it. But yeah, my vote is for 1987 02:11:26.119 --> 02:11:28.520 the in l A nine two win. Yeah. 1988 02:11:30.000 --> 02:11:33.199 Yeah, but I am excited about I show speed too, 1989 02:11:33.359 --> 02:11:37.159 So it's I think it's gonna be fine. It's it's 1990 02:11:37.199 --> 02:11:40.079 gonna be fine for for honestly what it is. I 1991 02:11:40.279 --> 02:11:42.520 was very surprised to find out that the tag team 1992 02:11:42.560 --> 02:11:48.880 titles weren't going to be defended on here, but this 1993 02:11:49.119 --> 02:11:53.039 is you know, this kind of feeds into like the 1994 02:11:53.119 --> 02:11:56.800 glamour of the box office appeal of WrestleMania, So I'm 1995 02:11:56.840 --> 02:11:57.359 okay with it. 1996 02:11:57.560 --> 02:11:58.279 So here we are. 1997 02:11:59.640 --> 02:12:05.960 Yeah. Now, of course we have the unsanctioned match between 1998 02:12:06.600 --> 02:12:10.680 Jacob Fatu, who is victorious at last year's WrestleMania winning 1999 02:12:10.760 --> 02:12:16.199 the United States Championship, versus Drew Back entire the certified 2000 02:12:16.319 --> 02:12:21.479 crash out of the WWA. I'm predicting that Jacob Fatu 2001 02:12:21.640 --> 02:12:27.439 is gonna win because with this being an unsanctioned match 2002 02:12:27.520 --> 02:12:31.520 and with there being really no rules here, I feel 2003 02:12:31.560 --> 02:12:33.880 like Jacob fa Tu is gonna unleash a level of 2004 02:12:34.800 --> 02:12:38.920 savagery that we haven't seen from him, and it's just 2005 02:12:39.039 --> 02:12:41.479 gonna be crazy, considering Drew keeps trying to make fun 2006 02:12:41.520 --> 02:12:44.399 of him being you know, a savage and also being 2007 02:12:44.560 --> 02:12:48.720 a former, you know, convicted person. I think Jacob is 2008 02:12:48.720 --> 02:12:50.800 gonna be like, oh you think I'm crazy bet and 2009 02:12:50.880 --> 02:12:54.039 then destore him. So I'm predicted Jacob Fatu is gonna win. 2010 02:12:54.479 --> 02:12:57.359 Yeah, me too. A lot of mass will happen and 2011 02:12:57.600 --> 02:13:01.000 a lot of chaos will ensue, and I'm very see 2012 02:13:01.039 --> 02:13:04.199 what Jacobi has to do. I need to see the wiggles. 2013 02:13:04.239 --> 02:13:08.079 I need that I need and you flips. I need 2014 02:13:08.920 --> 02:13:13.880 the whole bit. I need the world to win and 2015 02:13:15.479 --> 02:13:18.840 no one to end. Well, why do I feel like 2016 02:13:19.600 --> 02:13:22.239 Solo will interfere with his. 2017 02:13:26.359 --> 02:13:27.560 And his gloves? 2018 02:13:29.000 --> 02:13:31.039 I think so. I don't know that. 2019 02:13:31.760 --> 02:13:34.439 You never know, he just might because you know he 2020 02:13:34.800 --> 02:13:37.279 as it stands now, Solo does not have a match. 2021 02:13:37.359 --> 02:13:40.119 But then he did have that interaction with Jacob last Friday, 2022 02:13:40.760 --> 02:13:43.760 so you might be hitting on something right there. I 2023 02:13:43.800 --> 02:13:49.680 don't know, but yeah, there's that part too, So it's 2024 02:13:49.720 --> 02:13:52.760 a lot of layers to that. But you know, yeah, 2025 02:13:53.399 --> 02:13:58.960 you can never bet against Jacob, No, Yeah, I think, yeah, 2026 02:13:58.960 --> 02:14:07.680 I think it's Jacob's time. Yah did I mean ya? Now, 2027 02:14:07.800 --> 02:14:12.520 this match was very surprising in execution when they announced 2028 02:14:12.560 --> 02:14:15.880 it because it was rumored that maybe Brin Breaker would 2029 02:14:15.920 --> 02:14:18.439 be making his return, but he has yet to be seen. 2030 02:14:19.039 --> 02:14:22.039 So when I saw Gunter attack Seth Rollins, I got 2031 02:14:22.159 --> 02:14:26.000 scared and got PTSD. I thought Seth was gonna tell 2032 02:14:26.079 --> 02:14:27.920 us that he was getting ready to retire, and I 2033 02:14:28.039 --> 02:14:32.439 was gonna start crying and throwing up because I'm tired 2034 02:14:32.479 --> 02:14:36.720 of these retirements. But Seth is back and cleared to compete, 2035 02:14:36.760 --> 02:14:42.000 So now he has this WrestleMania match against Gunter. Gunter 2036 02:14:42.199 --> 02:14:45.479 essentially said he just wants to beat him because of 2037 02:14:46.079 --> 02:14:49.640 their past history with the World Heavyweight Championship. You know, 2038 02:14:49.760 --> 02:14:52.439 they got in each other's face. Seth Rollins unlocked a 2039 02:14:52.560 --> 02:14:54.920 level of anger and passion, and we haven't seen from 2040 02:14:55.000 --> 02:14:58.319 him since that one time he was fighting against Triple 2041 02:14:58.479 --> 02:15:02.960 H at WrestleMania. It's the King player. So I'm hyped 2042 02:15:03.039 --> 02:15:07.279 for this match, even though it was unexpected. I'm predicting 2043 02:15:07.359 --> 02:15:15.840 Seth to win. Yeah, yeah, I beat that fish, even 2044 02:15:15.840 --> 02:15:17.479 though he did win last year in one of the 2045 02:15:17.560 --> 02:15:22.039 craziest moments of life period. But I don't know Bert, 2046 02:15:22.479 --> 02:15:26.319 I'm predicting Seth. It's gonna weird with no help from 2047 02:15:26.359 --> 02:15:29.720 Paul Hammon. I feel like, if anything, Paul Hayman will 2048 02:15:29.760 --> 02:15:31.680 try to like screw him over. 2049 02:15:31.960 --> 02:15:37.600 Right, oh god, because he didn't you would give him 2050 02:15:37.600 --> 02:15:38.119 a low blow. 2051 02:15:39.800 --> 02:15:43.439 Yeah, it's it's gonna be a mess if that's the case. 2052 02:15:43.479 --> 02:15:46.359 I feel like, if anything, if Seth does lose, it 2053 02:15:46.439 --> 02:15:48.520 will be due to shenanigans from Paul Hammon. 2054 02:15:48.880 --> 02:15:53.000 Yeah, because he broke up the Yeah what if. 2055 02:15:53.000 --> 02:15:54.840 Or what if Braun hasn't been back in all this 2056 02:15:54.960 --> 02:15:57.720 time because they have him been hiding for this, so 2057 02:15:58.359 --> 02:16:02.560 you never know, Like it's crazy, it would be crazy if. 2058 02:16:02.880 --> 02:16:04.960 I feel like, if Seth does not win, it will 2059 02:16:05.039 --> 02:16:10.319 be due to shenanigans. But yeah, and then Gucher will 2060 02:16:10.359 --> 02:16:15.279 win or yeah, oh my god, and then Gucher will 2061 02:16:15.319 --> 02:16:17.880 take credit for it because he's like, yeah, I defeated him, 2062 02:16:17.920 --> 02:16:21.039 but now you had help, and yeah, I think craziness 2063 02:16:21.079 --> 02:16:24.600 could ensue with this one because he has unfinished business. 2064 02:16:24.720 --> 02:16:28.600 Yeah, and you tapped out like a little beat, like. 2065 02:16:30.920 --> 02:16:33.239 I don't want to hear it. As long as but 2066 02:16:33.360 --> 02:16:34.959 as long as he can say whatever he wants to, 2067 02:16:35.040 --> 02:16:36.920 as long as he doesn't retire, Seth. It's just all 2068 02:16:36.959 --> 02:16:41.000 I care about. I'm tired of the retirements. Please if 2069 02:16:41.000 --> 02:16:42.879 another person retires, I'm just going to go to the 2070 02:16:42.920 --> 02:16:46.600 hospital and just go. I'm gonna have a psychotic break 2071 02:16:48.280 --> 02:16:53.879 because I can't deal with it. I'm sire. I'm tire. 2072 02:16:55.440 --> 02:16:55.799 Me too. 2073 02:16:57.280 --> 02:17:05.920 Yeah. And finally, the most polarizing match of the Wrestlvannia 2074 02:17:06.040 --> 02:17:11.600 card for the Undisputed w W Championship, we have Cody 2075 02:17:11.680 --> 02:17:15.120 Roads versus Randy Orton, the Battle of the Generational Wrestlers 2076 02:17:16.719 --> 02:17:20.479 for the Undisputed w W Championship. This is main eventing 2077 02:17:20.600 --> 02:17:24.159 Night one, but it has the added caveat that if 2078 02:17:24.200 --> 02:17:28.760 Cody Roads wins this match, then Pat McAfee, who it 2079 02:17:28.840 --> 02:17:30.760 could be argued does not have any place in this 2080 02:17:30.879 --> 02:17:35.959 match whatsoever, will leave professional wrestling for good. But of course, 2081 02:17:36.000 --> 02:17:38.920 if Randy does win, he'll win his fifteenth world title, 2082 02:17:38.959 --> 02:17:42.040 which people do want for him. But I don't want 2083 02:17:42.079 --> 02:17:45.760 it like this. I don't want it like this. I 2084 02:17:45.879 --> 02:17:49.280 don't want it like this. I wish Pat McAfee would 2085 02:17:49.280 --> 02:17:51.600 have just been left out of it. I know today 2086 02:17:51.760 --> 02:17:54.200 Cody Rose went and got his championship back and tore 2087 02:17:54.280 --> 02:17:59.120 up the set of the Pat McAfee show. That yeah, 2088 02:17:59.159 --> 02:18:01.239 he did that early today and that was that was 2089 02:18:01.399 --> 02:18:05.879 interesting and very funny. But my thing is, I feel 2090 02:18:05.920 --> 02:18:10.120 like Pat really has no place in this match. There 2091 02:18:10.239 --> 02:18:13.079 was enough story and enough history that could have fed 2092 02:18:13.159 --> 02:18:15.799 into this match happening to begin with without the added 2093 02:18:15.840 --> 02:18:21.959 piece of Pat McAfee. Yeah, I'm predicting Cody Roads is 2094 02:18:22.000 --> 02:18:26.920 going to retain because I'm manifesting of like him retaining 2095 02:18:27.000 --> 02:18:29.639 it because watching Cody Roads lose at Russell Maynia two 2096 02:18:29.719 --> 02:18:31.639 years in a row is something I do not want 2097 02:18:33.040 --> 02:18:36.719 in my life. And I just need Cody Roads to 2098 02:18:36.920 --> 02:18:39.399 just do the right thing and kick Randy's butt and 2099 02:18:39.559 --> 02:18:42.200 kick Pat McAfee's but so that we can go on 2100 02:18:42.360 --> 02:18:44.079 and move on to things, to the things that we 2101 02:18:44.200 --> 02:18:49.120 actually love and actually care about. Go Bianca. 2102 02:18:49.159 --> 02:18:55.680 I'm sorry, okay, because initially I did not mind Pat 2103 02:18:55.760 --> 02:18:59.920 McAfee coming out and feeding up Cody Roads. 2104 02:19:00.600 --> 02:19:03.479 Why I know, because I like coach. 2105 02:19:04.159 --> 02:19:08.680 I really truly like Patrick McAfee from Indianapolis or from 2106 02:19:08.719 --> 02:19:14.239 Pittsburgh and sloy yeah by way of well not fault, 2107 02:19:14.440 --> 02:19:17.959 not fault, yeah anyway, but I generally do like him 2108 02:19:18.719 --> 02:19:23.200 and like I am because like I want Randy to 2109 02:19:23.239 --> 02:19:27.159 win his fifteenth title, and I love I've been a 2110 02:19:27.319 --> 02:19:30.479 Randy fans in twenty eleven, but he has a special 2111 02:19:30.520 --> 02:19:32.280 place in my heart for that, and I really want 2112 02:19:32.360 --> 02:19:37.159 him to finish his story. But then seeing how people 2113 02:19:38.040 --> 02:19:43.399 see people's reactions with Pat McAfee definitely made me change 2114 02:19:43.559 --> 02:19:49.719 my perspective because like, yeah, it's it wasn't necessary for 2115 02:19:49.879 --> 02:19:54.760 it to be involved, and because I wanted it to 2116 02:19:54.840 --> 02:19:58.360 be just those those two I was looking for it 2117 02:19:58.879 --> 02:20:02.920 for I was looking for that, but this was before 2118 02:20:04.000 --> 02:20:09.879 I realized that he's actually in the match, So that 2119 02:20:10.479 --> 02:20:14.280 like kind of like I don't want to say bored 2120 02:20:14.399 --> 02:20:17.680 me or turned me off, but I didn't turn me off, 2121 02:20:17.760 --> 02:20:22.079 but like it was just I do wish that it 2122 02:20:22.200 --> 02:20:27.319 didn't happen like that. There's too many celebrities in our 2123 02:20:27.520 --> 02:20:31.479 war right now. But I generally do like Pat McCree. 2124 02:20:31.479 --> 02:20:35.959 I think he's hilarious. I love his commentary. I his 2125 02:20:36.799 --> 02:20:41.639 re announcing of dream Ac and Tire and Finn Malor 2126 02:20:42.280 --> 02:20:50.440 are our My brain would shout out to sub Yeah, 2127 02:20:50.600 --> 02:20:57.719 I don't know, I just yeah, see see. 2128 02:20:57.799 --> 02:21:00.319 My thing is I would generally like Pam mag To 2129 02:21:00.760 --> 02:21:04.000 when he was I like Pat McAfee when he was 2130 02:21:04.079 --> 02:21:06.600 being a fan and he was just genuinely just happy 2131 02:21:06.680 --> 02:21:10.520 to be there. But him as the character that Randy 2132 02:21:10.680 --> 02:21:13.079 was talking to on the phone that was advising him 2133 02:21:13.719 --> 02:21:16.479 was not something that I was prepared for. And it 2134 02:21:16.719 --> 02:21:20.680 just fell flat to me because over the course of 2135 02:21:20.760 --> 02:21:23.079 the last couple of weeks, it was Randy sort of 2136 02:21:23.159 --> 02:21:26.920 alluding by saying, oh, wrestling has more than one royal family, 2137 02:21:27.079 --> 02:21:29.600 and that he could have been and that he could 2138 02:21:29.639 --> 02:21:32.159 have been talking to somebody else, you know, who could 2139 02:21:32.239 --> 02:21:34.639 have been a part of a wrestling royal family. But 2140 02:21:35.319 --> 02:21:37.639 for it to be Pat just kind of caught me off. Guarden, 2141 02:21:37.760 --> 02:21:40.840 I just don't like a heel Pat McAfee. Like, mind you, 2142 02:21:40.959 --> 02:21:44.239 he's been playing to heal the role of a heel perfectly, 2143 02:21:44.719 --> 02:21:46.799 but I just don't like him as a heel because 2144 02:21:46.799 --> 02:21:48.879 I would prefer him as a happy face guy like 2145 02:21:49.399 --> 02:21:52.000 in all the above. And then also with him saying 2146 02:21:52.159 --> 02:21:55.600 all the things that he said Friday about calling wrestling 2147 02:21:55.680 --> 02:21:59.319 fans needy because you know, they were calling for lower 2148 02:21:59.399 --> 02:22:06.040 ticket price and talking about how Cody has been leading 2149 02:22:06.719 --> 02:22:09.079 WWE down the wrong path and how it's not what 2150 02:22:09.159 --> 02:22:11.040 he used to be. In all these things like those 2151 02:22:11.120 --> 02:22:13.159 things were just very off putting and I didn't like 2152 02:22:13.239 --> 02:22:17.040 it because ww IS has been relatively successful since Cody 2153 02:22:17.120 --> 02:22:19.879 Roads has been you know, QB one, So all of 2154 02:22:19.959 --> 02:22:24.680 that was just really annoying for me. So honestly, I 2155 02:22:24.760 --> 02:22:27.120 feel like Pat really could have just they really could 2156 02:22:27.159 --> 02:22:29.280 have just left him out of this whole thing. Honestly, 2157 02:22:30.319 --> 02:22:32.440 I have no problems with Pat being a fan of 2158 02:22:32.520 --> 02:22:35.799 a product and everything else like that and being a babyface, 2159 02:22:35.879 --> 02:22:37.719 but him as a heel was just really. 2160 02:22:37.639 --> 02:22:38.680 Like, what the heck? 2161 02:22:38.879 --> 02:22:39.000 Bro? 2162 02:22:39.680 --> 02:22:44.239 But yeah, where I almost. 2163 02:22:46.440 --> 02:22:49.399 I'm just gonna need for I just want Cody to 2164 02:22:49.520 --> 02:22:50.360 retain the title. 2165 02:22:51.000 --> 02:22:52.639 Yeah, Oh now. 2166 02:22:55.360 --> 02:22:59.760 We shall see, Yep, we shall see. We definitely shall see. 2167 02:23:00.680 --> 02:23:03.879 So yeah, that's all of the Night one predictions. Night 2168 02:23:03.959 --> 02:23:07.120 one is shaping up to be pretty awesome. I'm really 2169 02:23:07.200 --> 02:23:10.040 excited about it. And then we have Night Too, which 2170 02:23:10.079 --> 02:23:13.680 has a lot at stake as well. So we're moving 2171 02:23:13.719 --> 02:23:19.280 on tonight too with our one women's match that's on here, 2172 02:23:19.360 --> 02:23:23.879 which is interesting. I will say, there's more women's matches 2173 02:23:23.920 --> 02:23:27.959 on Saturday than there are on Sunday. It's interesting that 2174 02:23:28.079 --> 02:23:31.920 we were talking about Tiffany Stratton earlier being the Women's 2175 02:23:32.000 --> 02:23:34.479 Champion last year offer her to not be on the 2176 02:23:34.559 --> 02:23:37.879 card this year, and then you also have the added 2177 02:23:37.959 --> 02:23:41.799 weirdness of Julia and the Women's United States Championship not 2178 02:23:41.920 --> 02:23:45.479 being on the car too. It's just very there are 2179 02:23:45.559 --> 02:23:47.079 I feel like there are just other and then you 2180 02:23:47.159 --> 02:23:51.079 also have EO and Osca and their supposed few that 2181 02:23:51.200 --> 02:23:54.399 had gotten started and now that's not being a part 2182 02:23:54.479 --> 02:23:57.280 of the Mania card either. Now mind you, I know 2183 02:23:57.319 --> 02:24:00.840 they're gonna have the SmackDown before Wrestlemate, and you do 2184 02:24:01.000 --> 02:24:03.239 have to have people there for that, but at the 2185 02:24:03.319 --> 02:24:07.840 same time, it just feels very awkward to not have 2186 02:24:08.200 --> 02:24:11.799 more than one women's match on both nights. But we 2187 02:24:12.040 --> 02:24:17.479 move Jay Cargill versus Real Ripley. This is a match 2188 02:24:17.520 --> 02:24:20.239 I'm very excited about because these are two of the 2189 02:24:20.360 --> 02:24:25.479 biggest women's stars in ww battling against each other with 2190 02:24:25.639 --> 02:24:28.920 pride ego and all of the looks and all of 2191 02:24:29.040 --> 02:24:33.559 the the everything for the w W Women's Championship. It's 2192 02:24:33.639 --> 02:24:36.159 interesting because last year we saw Jade ballot out with 2193 02:24:36.280 --> 02:24:39.719 Naomi and now here we are, and then you had 2194 02:24:39.840 --> 02:24:42.879 Riha having a stellar triple threat match with Bianca and 2195 02:24:43.000 --> 02:24:47.360 EO last year It's very interesting all the things that 2196 02:24:47.399 --> 02:24:51.399 can happen within a year. But my prediction is that 2197 02:24:51.559 --> 02:24:55.319 real Ripley is going to win. As much as I 2198 02:24:55.440 --> 02:24:57.879 love Jay Cargill as a black woman, and I want 2199 02:24:57.920 --> 02:25:00.360 to see her succeed and do all the great things 2200 02:25:00.440 --> 02:25:05.479 despite all of the haters. No matter what the haters say, 2201 02:25:05.600 --> 02:25:10.520 I love Jay Cark, You'll love her down Rear Ripley 2202 02:25:11.440 --> 02:25:13.239 is who I believe is going to win and become 2203 02:25:13.280 --> 02:25:15.040 the new Women's World Women's Champion. 2204 02:25:18.840 --> 02:25:23.000 I think, and I've been thinking, and I've been thinking 2205 02:25:23.079 --> 02:25:30.879 about this for days now. I really think Nay and 2206 02:25:31.000 --> 02:25:38.879 We will return to be a distraction for if Jade wins, 2207 02:25:39.079 --> 02:25:42.120 she will come back and say, well this is mine, 2208 02:25:42.440 --> 02:25:53.399 I'm coming for that title or yeah, I don't know. 2209 02:25:53.559 --> 02:25:56.760 I love them both and this is this is this 2210 02:25:56.959 --> 02:26:02.520 is this is a really hard match to predict who 2211 02:26:02.559 --> 02:26:09.360 will win because I love them both. Yeah, I want oh, 2212 02:26:10.559 --> 02:26:14.120 I want Jay to win, but I think something will 2213 02:26:14.959 --> 02:26:21.159 or someone will come and distract I don't know or oh, 2214 02:26:21.200 --> 02:26:24.319 but she has her but she has be Fab and 2215 02:26:25.159 --> 02:26:28.399 mit Chen. I forgot about them. M I don't know 2216 02:26:28.680 --> 02:26:34.920 talk to tell right now, but I do think a 2217 02:26:35.040 --> 02:26:35.920 woman will win this. 2218 02:26:38.319 --> 02:26:44.799 Yeah, Okay, a woman will win. Yes, that's a funny 2219 02:26:44.879 --> 02:26:48.319 prediction to make. Yes, a woman is gonna win. But 2220 02:26:49.000 --> 02:26:53.760 you know, I don't know how ready Naomi is because 2221 02:26:54.959 --> 02:26:57.600 on YouTube there was this in the midst of all 2222 02:26:57.639 --> 02:26:59.959 the press that every wrestler or just about every wrestler 2223 02:27:00.120 --> 02:27:04.680 is doing for WrestleMania, the USOS did a hot Ones 2224 02:27:04.840 --> 02:27:09.319 video where Jay may have let it slip that Naomi 2225 02:27:09.440 --> 02:27:14.159 had the baby with Jimmy, So congrats to them for that. 2226 02:27:14.959 --> 02:27:18.719 So I don't think I'm not entirely sure we'll see 2227 02:27:18.760 --> 02:27:22.840 an appearance from Naomi just yet, because it takes time 2228 02:27:23.280 --> 02:27:25.319 to recover from that level of thing. I guess it 2229 02:27:25.440 --> 02:27:31.000 just depends, But I don't I'm I'm just predicting that 2230 02:27:31.120 --> 02:27:35.920 Rhea is gonna win, honestly, because Yeah, it just feels 2231 02:27:36.000 --> 02:27:38.559 like that's just what's gonna happen for me. And I 2232 02:27:39.200 --> 02:27:41.920 would love it if Jade retained, that would be really cool. 2233 02:27:42.719 --> 02:27:49.559 But I just feel like, you just can't deny Rhea, right, Yeah, 2234 02:27:49.879 --> 02:27:54.000 you just can't deny Ria at this point. So and 2235 02:27:54.639 --> 02:27:58.040 and even and then yeah, she does have EO who 2236 02:27:58.120 --> 02:28:00.639 could come out and help even thinks up with the 2237 02:28:00.719 --> 02:28:06.440 batties with Meetchen and be Fab but I she could, 2238 02:28:06.600 --> 02:28:07.520 but you just never know. 2239 02:28:07.760 --> 02:28:13.920 But yeah, yeah, I just think it's real. Yeah, or 2240 02:28:14.040 --> 02:28:16.120 in or in in this or in your case a 2241 02:28:16.239 --> 02:28:18.680 woman exactly. 2242 02:28:20.159 --> 02:28:24.520 All the women win. So moving on to the men 2243 02:28:24.719 --> 02:28:29.280 of Night two, we have a six pack ladder match 2244 02:28:29.399 --> 02:28:34.680 for the Intercontinental Championship. Penta will be defending his Icy 2245 02:28:34.879 --> 02:28:37.799 title against j D McDonough the Judgment Day in his 2246 02:28:37.959 --> 02:28:43.879 first WrestleMania, Dragon Lee Javon Evans in his first WrestleMania 2247 02:28:44.639 --> 02:28:51.760 the legendary Hall of Famer Rami Stereo and Russerve. This 2248 02:28:51.959 --> 02:28:53.840 is hard to predict, but I'm just gonna say it. 2249 02:28:54.879 --> 02:28:59.680 If Javon Evans doesn't win, I'll be said. So my 2250 02:29:00.000 --> 02:29:06.239 addiction it's Javon Evans, But if he doesn't win, I'll 2251 02:29:06.319 --> 02:29:10.719 be sad. I agree, if it doesn't win, the Nicel 2252 02:29:10.799 --> 02:29:15.000 Penson wins, Yeah, at the very least. If Penca does retain, 2253 02:29:15.079 --> 02:29:17.399 then I won't be mad about that at all. But 2254 02:29:17.559 --> 02:29:21.079 Javon is just my heavy favorite to win, absolutely. 2255 02:29:22.200 --> 02:29:25.760 Without the hype and more around him. Yeah, I think yeah. Now, 2256 02:29:25.799 --> 02:29:28.319 so JD looks like Roman Reigns here, He's like big 2257 02:29:28.440 --> 02:29:31.399 Job Roman reigns. Oh my god, he actually looks good. 2258 02:29:32.079 --> 02:29:32.840 Oh my goodness. 2259 02:29:35.760 --> 02:29:39.600 Let's agree to disagree. I will say this, though, I 2260 02:29:39.680 --> 02:29:43.399 am happy that Ray Mysterio is back in ring shape. 2261 02:29:43.399 --> 02:29:45.920 I feel like he's gonna do some crazy stunts. I 2262 02:29:46.000 --> 02:29:48.600 feel like the one guarantee we have in this entire 2263 02:29:48.680 --> 02:29:50.879 match is that we are gonna see some crazy stunts 2264 02:29:50.920 --> 02:29:51.360 take place. 2265 02:29:52.440 --> 02:29:56.559 Leaping off the ladders, jumping, jumping off the ropes, and 2266 02:29:57.399 --> 02:29:58.799 tables are gonna be broken. 2267 02:30:00.239 --> 02:30:01.360 Like I'm excited. 2268 02:30:02.280 --> 02:30:03.319 D D t's. 2269 02:30:05.680 --> 02:30:08.239 It's it's gonna be sick with all of these men 2270 02:30:08.319 --> 02:30:13.000 in here. Yeah, it's gonna be sick. But I'm definitely 2271 02:30:13.120 --> 02:30:15.280 predicting that Javon Evans is gonna win. 2272 02:30:17.079 --> 02:30:17.319 Yeah. 2273 02:30:18.159 --> 02:30:20.879 Yeah, he's just my my odds on favorite. 2274 02:30:21.280 --> 02:30:24.520 O G crusher off the off, the off the ladder. 2275 02:30:25.520 --> 02:30:36.200 Yeah, oh god, yeah, come on, come on. Yes, mm hmmm. 2276 02:30:39.000 --> 02:30:46.200 This is another polarizing match for the United States Championship. 2277 02:30:46.319 --> 02:30:54.120 You have Sammy's ain't going one on one with the 2278 02:30:54.719 --> 02:31:03.440 innovator of one eight hundred whooped that trick Williams. I'm 2279 02:31:03.520 --> 02:31:07.159 just gonna say that, I really feel like if by 2280 02:31:07.200 --> 02:31:09.280 the end, by the end of this weekend, if Trick 2281 02:31:09.280 --> 02:31:12.680 Williams gets attacked from behind by somebody, and if it's 2282 02:31:12.719 --> 02:31:15.440 carmel O Hayes, I will support it because I support 2283 02:31:15.479 --> 02:31:19.000 Carmelo Hayes's rights and wrongs. But if that doesn't happen, 2284 02:31:20.479 --> 02:31:22.719 I'm predicting that Trick Williams is gonna win the United 2285 02:31:22.760 --> 02:31:26.680 States Championship because I really, I mean, honestly, I feel 2286 02:31:26.680 --> 02:31:28.360 like Carmelo Hayes should be in this match and this 2287 02:31:28.440 --> 02:31:33.479 should be a triple threat, because it just doesn't make 2288 02:31:33.559 --> 02:31:35.479 sense to me for Carmelo to have lost the way 2289 02:31:35.520 --> 02:31:37.079 that he did and for him to not be at 2290 02:31:37.120 --> 02:31:41.159 WrestleMania because he wasn't on the car last year when 2291 02:31:41.200 --> 02:31:43.200 he could have been, and now he's not on the car, 2292 02:31:43.280 --> 02:31:46.319 and it just doesn't make sense to me. It's an injustice. Yeah, 2293 02:31:49.200 --> 02:31:52.479 But if that, if nothing changes between now and Sunday, 2294 02:31:53.239 --> 02:31:56.120 I'm predicting Trick Williams is gonna win the United States Championship. 2295 02:32:00.600 --> 02:32:05.600 I think so too. And if yeah, and if Sammy 2296 02:32:05.719 --> 02:32:12.399 Zaine wins, and I've been holding out hope for this 2297 02:32:12.559 --> 02:32:16.479 for a long time since all that happened, but I 2298 02:32:16.600 --> 02:32:19.200 think if Sammy Zayin wins, it's because of the help 2299 02:32:19.280 --> 02:32:24.280 of Kevin Owens. Oh wow, because I thought that he 2300 02:32:24.479 --> 02:32:29.840 faked his injury last year. You thought, yeah, I thought 2301 02:32:30.840 --> 02:32:33.319 thought I was part of the whole story. I thought 2302 02:32:33.479 --> 02:32:35.200 he faked the injury. 2303 02:32:35.719 --> 02:32:38.559 So yeah, other people, Yeah, other people did think he 2304 02:32:38.680 --> 02:32:40.600 faked it too, So I understand what you're saying now 2305 02:32:40.600 --> 02:32:42.799 that I'm remembering. Yeah, there were people who did think 2306 02:32:42.840 --> 02:32:45.719 he was faking because he was supposed to fight Randy, 2307 02:32:46.040 --> 02:32:48.639 but then it didn't happen because of that injury, and 2308 02:32:48.680 --> 02:32:50.959 people thought, oh, well, the surprise person was going to 2309 02:32:51.000 --> 02:32:56.799 be Kevin offered to be Joe injury. But yeah, yeah, 2310 02:32:56.920 --> 02:32:59.760 oh my god. That would that would create a whole 2311 02:32:59.799 --> 02:33:02.479 other chapter in this in the book of Sammy's ay 2312 02:33:02.600 --> 02:33:07.200 and Kevin Owens. That would be interesting. But if that 2313 02:33:07.319 --> 02:33:08.840 did happen that way, But. 2314 02:33:09.559 --> 02:33:13.319 If Sammy does does lose, he will still be in 2315 02:33:13.399 --> 02:33:22.319 the ring and then sam Kevin comes out to comfort 2316 02:33:22.399 --> 02:33:27.200 him that or yeah, because he can't beat him up again. 2317 02:33:27.840 --> 02:33:30.000 No, that was. 2318 02:33:30.040 --> 02:33:35.000 Horrible, So yeah, I think that. Yeah, I think Kevin 2319 02:33:35.239 --> 02:33:42.799 Kevin Owens returns on Sunday one way or another that day. 2320 02:33:45.360 --> 02:33:48.760 But specifically, you know, who do you who do you 2321 02:33:48.879 --> 02:33:50.000 have to win the match? 2322 02:33:51.479 --> 02:33:52.520 Did I not choose a winner? 2323 02:33:52.600 --> 02:33:54.280 Oh my I don't think you did. 2324 02:33:55.000 --> 02:33:58.079 Oh my god, I think I'm with Trick Williams on 2325 02:33:58.159 --> 02:34:04.520 this one. Yeah, definitely truck Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, 2326 02:34:04.760 --> 02:34:10.879 chick ones for sure. That wouldn't be right. 2327 02:34:12.840 --> 02:34:15.360 Yeah, it wouldn't necessarily be right, but and then you know, 2328 02:34:15.520 --> 02:34:18.079 it would be cool be it would solidify his star 2329 02:34:18.200 --> 02:34:20.680 power a whole lot more. But I would also like 2330 02:34:20.799 --> 02:34:24.959 to and I will also repeat, if Carmelo wants to 2331 02:34:25.040 --> 02:34:27.000 attack him from behind like he did it in XTO 2332 02:34:27.079 --> 02:34:33.959 that time, I support it. So yeah, moving forward, we 2333 02:34:34.079 --> 02:34:40.920 also have Demon Finn versus Dirty Dominic Mysterio the Judgment 2334 02:34:41.000 --> 02:34:45.760 Day Civil War. I'm predicting Demon Finn is gonna win. 2335 02:34:46.879 --> 02:34:49.920 Dominic has no clue. He's out of his death. I'm 2336 02:34:49.959 --> 02:34:51.840 sorry to say that, but he's out of his death. 2337 02:34:53.239 --> 02:34:58.600 I'm predicting Demon Fan is gonna win. Agreed, Yeah, agreed, Yeah, 2338 02:34:58.639 --> 02:35:01.959 we can agree to that. But I'm very pumped to 2339 02:35:02.000 --> 02:35:03.559 see dmon Fan because it's been a while. 2340 02:35:04.879 --> 02:35:06.440 Yeah, it really has. 2341 02:35:07.120 --> 02:35:11.680 It really has been a while. Yeah, it's been too long. 2342 02:35:11.760 --> 02:35:16.920 Honestly, I had a thought, oh my god, and just yeah, 2343 02:35:17.600 --> 02:35:19.879 seeing all the moves they have because they can fly, 2344 02:35:21.239 --> 02:35:24.799 they can I'm excited for I'm excited yeah. 2345 02:35:25.600 --> 02:35:27.559 Yeah. Athletically, the match is going to be fire. 2346 02:35:31.399 --> 02:35:36.639 Yeah. And I'm excited to see Dominic get scared and 2347 02:35:37.680 --> 02:35:38.680 acting crazy. 2348 02:35:42.280 --> 02:35:45.879 Yeah. It's gonna be funny. It's really gonna be funny. 2349 02:35:46.280 --> 02:35:48.319 And I also would like to just give kudos to 2350 02:35:48.479 --> 02:35:51.120 w W and their creative team for making this sort 2351 02:35:51.159 --> 02:35:54.079 of like a continuation from last year, because I do 2352 02:35:54.239 --> 02:35:58.159 believe it was last year a WrestleMania where Dominic covered 2353 02:35:58.319 --> 02:36:05.799 Finn to win in condinental title, So this is gonna 2354 02:36:05.840 --> 02:36:09.559 be interesting, or at least he pushed him out of 2355 02:36:09.600 --> 02:36:11.559 the way when it could have been Finn winning the 2356 02:36:11.680 --> 02:36:14.280 match and then Dominic one and then Finn kind of 2357 02:36:14.360 --> 02:36:21.520 swallowed that. So I think that's a pretty cool continuation 2358 02:36:21.680 --> 02:36:24.760 of that of that tension along with the other tensions 2359 02:36:24.760 --> 02:36:28.040 that they have had over the past few months. So 2360 02:36:28.239 --> 02:36:31.040 I'm pumped about it. It's gonna be cool. But I've 2361 02:36:31.079 --> 02:36:32.319 got demon Finn for the wig. 2362 02:36:33.360 --> 02:36:33.959 I go have to. 2363 02:36:36.840 --> 02:36:38.280 Nxty Black and Gold Forever. 2364 02:36:41.680 --> 02:36:43.440 I love the girl. I leave the jacket. 2365 02:36:45.959 --> 02:36:48.639 Now, you're probably if you're watching this live, you're probably 2366 02:36:48.719 --> 02:36:53.079 wondering why there is a giant drink here and this 2367 02:36:53.440 --> 02:36:58.639 represents me creating a safe space for people watching this show. 2368 02:36:59.399 --> 02:37:01.920 And also so the type of drink I'm gonna need 2369 02:37:02.079 --> 02:37:05.360 if a certain person does not win this match. This 2370 02:37:05.559 --> 02:37:12.319 is Oba Femi versus Pumpkinhead brock Lesner. We are all 2371 02:37:12.399 --> 02:37:15.559 in agreeance that after the promo that Oba Femy cut Monday, 2372 02:37:16.559 --> 02:37:21.159 we want him to win. I'm predicting Obami will win 2373 02:37:22.079 --> 02:37:26.959 and skyrocket his stardom and his overness into overdrive. 2374 02:37:28.159 --> 02:37:30.600 Kick the words out of my mouth. I agree. And 2375 02:37:30.719 --> 02:37:35.200 he's if he's Nigeria, he's of Nigerian descent, and so 2376 02:37:35.360 --> 02:37:41.079 am I so a Nigerian winning winning this will means 2377 02:37:41.719 --> 02:37:48.120 a lot to me. So and he's like he's literally 2378 02:37:48.159 --> 02:37:50.799 a little brother, even though he looks like he's in 2379 02:37:51.159 --> 02:37:52.120 his thirty is what? 2380 02:37:53.280 --> 02:37:53.319 So? 2381 02:37:54.440 --> 02:38:05.000 Yeah? Yeah that promo key, his his mic work has 2382 02:38:05.040 --> 02:38:11.879 improved a lot, and it's shot on Monday, and yeah, amazing, 2383 02:38:12.000 --> 02:38:18.680 ob wins period, Yeah and winds. For the last hour, 2384 02:38:18.799 --> 02:38:23.600 I've been saying, I will go and repute myself when 2385 02:38:23.639 --> 02:38:25.680 I say this is. If he doesn't win, it will 2386 02:38:25.760 --> 02:38:34.399 not be right. Really, I'll be mad. No they can't, no, no, no, no, 2387 02:38:34.600 --> 02:38:36.280 ober wins period. 2388 02:38:38.159 --> 02:38:43.120 Yep. Now, I have seen some people's theories of them 2389 02:38:43.239 --> 02:38:46.159 saying that they feel like if Oba does not win, 2390 02:38:46.719 --> 02:38:50.319 that they feel that they see him and Pumpkinhead having 2391 02:38:50.360 --> 02:38:56.120 a feud that feeds into Summer Slam h which would 2392 02:38:56.159 --> 02:38:58.719 be in the beginning of August in Minneapolis, which is 2393 02:38:58.840 --> 02:39:01.879 also two nights. But honestly, I just don't even want 2394 02:39:01.920 --> 02:39:03.760 to stretch. I don't want them to even stretch just 2395 02:39:03.879 --> 02:39:08.079 that far. I the the stars are too aligned for 2396 02:39:08.319 --> 02:39:13.920 Oba Femi right now to have him lose at the 2397 02:39:14.079 --> 02:39:17.799 Rumble and not win the Rumble and then also lose 2398 02:39:17.840 --> 02:39:21.120 at Wrestleman and his first one at that when everybody 2399 02:39:21.399 --> 02:39:25.200 is the the iron is just too hot. Yeah, it's 2400 02:39:25.360 --> 02:39:27.959 just too hot. There are just certain things in life 2401 02:39:28.000 --> 02:39:33.680 that are just simple, and Ova winning is simple. Sometimes 2402 02:39:33.760 --> 02:39:36.280 all you have to do is keep it simple, stupid, 2403 02:39:37.000 --> 02:39:42.280 keep it simple. Ova is winning, yes, And if he 2404 02:39:42.360 --> 02:39:52.280 doesn't win, I will be drinking. We're grown, We're grown, 2405 02:39:53.479 --> 02:40:01.360 We're all grown. We're grown. Bianca. Right, I'm drinking and 2406 02:40:01.440 --> 02:40:05.079 I'm turning my phone off. The phone is off. 2407 02:40:07.399 --> 02:40:10.959 You're gonna be like the mad guys who just plumbs 2408 02:40:11.120 --> 02:40:13.319 this TV screen after a. 2409 02:40:13.360 --> 02:40:20.680 Football game, the phone will just be off. But yeah, 2410 02:40:21.280 --> 02:40:30.440 we're rooting for over here. And finally we have the 2411 02:40:30.520 --> 02:40:34.200 main event of Night Too. See I'm Punk versus Roman 2412 02:40:34.280 --> 02:40:38.639 reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship, or in the case 2413 02:40:38.719 --> 02:40:52.000 of some little kids at home, I couldn't. 2414 02:40:53.079 --> 02:40:54.879 That's the best day of my life. 2415 02:40:55.079 --> 02:41:03.639 Oh my god, you, oh my god. 2416 02:41:04.840 --> 02:41:08.479 Wow.

I'm a clown and I love Dsney. 2421 02:41:29.360 --> 02:41:34.200 So anytime I can intertwine the things, I'm happy. Plus 2422 02:41:34.280 --> 02:41:38.000 not to mention tonight like they have lin Manuel Miranda 2423 02:41:38.120 --> 02:41:41.440 doing one of the cold opens, they have Joe Jonas 2424 02:41:41.520 --> 02:41:44.639 singing the national Yeah, they got Joe Jonas singing the 2425 02:41:44.760 --> 02:41:46.159 national anthem on Night Too. 2426 02:41:47.159 --> 02:41:47.639 Disney. 2427 02:41:47.799 --> 02:41:53.719 Kids are eating from this WrestleMania. So hey, z bras, 2428 02:41:55.000 --> 02:41:59.440 this WrestleMania is brought to you by Dsney. Okay, I 2429 02:41:59.559 --> 02:42:02.760 love it. Both of my fandoms have deserved to come 2430 02:42:02.840 --> 02:42:05.360 together this long. Now we could just give Vanessa Hudgins 2431 02:42:05.440 --> 02:42:10.159 in a match. I'm in there right, Oh my gosh. 2432 02:42:11.239 --> 02:42:19.000 But but but all right, let's get back to business show. 2433 02:42:19.280 --> 02:42:23.280 We've had fun. We've had our fun.

Okay, I'm predicting 2436 02:42:41.079 --> 02:42:47.399 that CM Punk needs to retain this He needs to 2437 02:42:47.440 --> 02:42:49.799 retain because he lost last year at Many and I 2438 02:42:49.799 --> 02:42:51.799 don't want to see him losing Many again in another 2439 02:42:51.840 --> 02:42:56.920 main event. I'm sorry, Punk has to retain this title. 2440 02:42:57.000 --> 02:42:59.879 Otherwise Roman's gonna win the title and we're never going 2441 02:42:59.959 --> 02:43:02.159 to see it again, and that will defeat the purpose 2442 02:43:02.200 --> 02:43:07.719 of what that title was creative for. So I'm predicting 2443 02:43:07.799 --> 02:43:13.280 Sean Punk z bro is gonna win. What do you think, Bianca? 2444 02:43:13.719 --> 02:43:29.479 Well, after along and hard thought and about this match 2445 02:43:30.639 --> 02:43:42.280 and who is fighting in this match, it was very 2446 02:43:43.239 --> 02:43:47.319 it has been very hard to choose just one, just one. 2447 02:43:48.600 --> 02:43:50.680 But you know, oh. 2448 02:43:52.200 --> 02:44:00.959 Well, I lost whatever, I gotta go right, Oh you know, 2449 02:44:03.040 --> 02:44:05.040 I gotta go in mind here the. 2450 02:44:05.120 --> 02:44:10.040 King of the pipe bomb on the my commentary in 2451 02:44:10.280 --> 02:44:14.440 the ring. If he doesn't win, oh my god, I can't, 2452 02:44:15.040 --> 02:44:16.000 Oh my gosh. 2453 02:44:18.600 --> 02:44:19.200 I see him. 2454 02:44:19.280 --> 02:44:22.000 Punk does not win, I will not lose his government 2455 02:44:22.079 --> 02:44:26.719 name because I have a spects though. Well, you see him, 2456 02:44:26.760 --> 02:44:33.360 Punk is winning and with no interferences, no, no, Paul 2457 02:44:33.399 --> 02:44:37.799 even get out, no no inferences. I can't take another interference. 2458 02:44:37.840 --> 02:44:41.639 I can't take another low blow. I can't take any 2459 02:44:41.719 --> 02:44:42.680 of that this year. 2460 02:44:43.319 --> 02:44:44.120 No, just. 2461 02:44:46.479 --> 02:44:52.000 Leave them, just let them. Let's see him Punk. But 2462 02:44:52.120 --> 02:44:54.120 why do I think there will be an interference? 2463 02:44:54.200 --> 02:44:54.360 Though? 2464 02:44:54.719 --> 02:44:56.719 Oh god, I don't know. 2465 02:44:57.040 --> 02:44:57.239 Man. 2466 02:44:58.280 --> 02:44:59.559 Isn't John Cena hosting? 2467 02:45:00.559 --> 02:45:03.040 I mean, but he might. I don't see him retaining 2468 02:45:03.120 --> 02:45:05.600 in this, I don't. I don't see John Cena interfering 2469 02:45:05.680 --> 02:45:08.879 in this. I don't. I don't simply because the fact 2470 02:45:08.879 --> 02:45:11.360 that he has no dog in this fight. He's retired, 2471 02:45:11.680 --> 02:45:12.639 why would he need to. 2472 02:45:15.000 --> 02:45:15.719 John Stewart. 2473 02:45:16.360 --> 02:45:19.760 But I mean, but this, this is not that regime though, 2474 02:45:19.879 --> 02:45:22.319 so I don't think that's gonna. I don't think John 2475 02:45:22.399 --> 02:45:24.879 Cena is I don't think there really. If there's going 2476 02:45:24.959 --> 02:45:28.159 to be any interference from anybody, I feel like I 2477 02:45:28.319 --> 02:45:32.000 see it being the USOS or maybe even any other 2478 02:45:33.239 --> 02:45:37.120 any other person from any from from Roman's family maybe, 2479 02:45:37.200 --> 02:45:40.319 But then I don't even see that. Considering seeing Punk apologized, 2480 02:45:41.479 --> 02:45:44.680 two Romans face Monday so I don't even see that. 2481 02:45:45.000 --> 02:45:48.319 I I don't know. I just feel like this really 2482 02:45:48.440 --> 02:45:51.079 might be just a simple thing, and it really might 2483 02:45:51.360 --> 02:45:54.600 just be them beating each other until one until somebody 2484 02:45:54.799 --> 02:45:55.879 just can't get up anymore. 2485 02:45:56.000 --> 02:46:01.040 Maybe again, we shall see, but. 2486 02:46:02.360 --> 02:46:06.040 How Punk wins, Yes, we shall see how Punk wins. 2487 02:46:07.479 --> 02:46:12.399 But you know that's the main event, and that's night too, 2488 02:46:12.879 --> 02:46:16.479 and there's really exciting stuff happening. I know there's stuff 2489 02:46:16.520 --> 02:46:21.879 that people really wish wasn't happening about it. But hopefully 2490 02:46:22.239 --> 02:46:25.040 the positives will outweigh the negatives and everything will be 2491 02:46:25.120 --> 02:46:28.760 fine and will be okay. And if all those fails 2492 02:46:28.799 --> 02:46:36.479 will always happen, yeah, I have not I just know 2493 02:46:36.600 --> 02:46:40.200 the fact that they're in it. That's all I know. 2494 02:46:41.000 --> 02:46:43.040 But we have reached the end of our time together. 2495 02:46:43.200 --> 02:46:45.920 This has been fun. This has been a very special 2496 02:46:46.000 --> 02:46:49.200 WrestleMania episode. So I hope everyone is having a great 2497 02:46:49.559 --> 02:46:52.280 We'll have a great weekend and be safe and enjoy 2498 02:46:52.360 --> 02:46:55.399 WrestleMania in the best ways possible and not be toxic 2499 02:46:55.479 --> 02:46:59.239 and stuff.
