WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.879 We finally made it the final SmackDown before WrestleMania. I 2 00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.759 don't know about you guys, but I am very happy 3 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:11.720 that WrestleMania is finally here and this road to WrestleMania 4 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.640 is now complete. This road, this very lackluster road to WrestleMania. 5 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:17.399 I've been ready for it to be done for at 6 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:19.920 least two weeks now, so I am very happy that 7 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.079 we have finally made it to the end of said road. 8 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:27.000 And finally wrestle Media Weekend is upon us and we 9 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.480 had John Cena back on TV one last time. He 10 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.079 was on SmackDown tonight since they're already in Las Vegas, 11 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.640 and it looks like he got a haircut too. John 12 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.880 Cena was on SmackDown tonight for one final face to 13 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.200 face with his opponent in the Night two main event, 14 00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.679 that of course, being Cody Rhoads, and the last time 15 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.679 that we saw these two men in the ring together, 16 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.960 it did not end well for John Cena. He got 17 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.399 laid out with a Crossroads. So I thought maybe this 18 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.280 time it would be Cody Rhoads eating an attitude adjustment. 19 00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.000 Keep people wondering, okay, one for one who's gonna win? 20 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.239 On Sunday but they went in a totally different direction 21 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.519 here and they actually gave us another Crossroads and for 22 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.959 the second time in as many appearances, John Cena was 23 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.560 the one who was left laying at the end of 24 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.120 this segment. But this segment here at the end of 25 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.480 the show was very interesting for a lot of different reasons. 26 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.760 The main reason being that Cody Roads got booed. As 27 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.959 soon as he went to begin speaking, he got booed, 28 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.640 and John Cena, you know, he also got booze. I'm not, 29 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.959 you know, implying that John Cena got wildly cheered here 30 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.200 by this crowd. But this is the first time here 31 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.719 in his entire title run, let alone this Road to WrestleMania, 32 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.319 where Cody Roads has gotten this kind of treatment. He 33 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.439 got the AW treatment. This is how the aw fans 34 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.359 were treating Cody Rhads in the waning months of his 35 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.200 run in that company. And so that was very interesting 36 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.560 that it took this long. But of course, you know, 37 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.040 it's a WrestleMania crowd, and so with a wrestle media crowd, 38 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.079 you don't really know what to expect. But in this 39 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.439 promo here we had Cody Roads actually winning the crowd 40 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.480 back of one of the ways he won the crowd back. 41 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:12.800 We had a reference to pale Sting from Stark ninety seven. 42 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.840 Oh if you know, you know we got a pale 43 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.439 Sting reference. We got a Haul and Oates reference for 44 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.000 those of you who picked up on that, and what 45 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.759 appeared to be Now I could be wrong here, maybe 46 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.039 my viewpoint was not all that great, but from the 47 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.280 camera shot they showed, it appeared as if we had 48 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.639 a karate chop from John Cena as he karate chopped 49 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.719 Cody and went to give him an attitude adjustment, only 50 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.080 for Cody to slip out and deliver his second crossroads 51 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.800 in the last few weeks. If it wasn't obvious enough 52 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.960 before coming into tonight, the Karate Kid is leaving WrestleMania 53 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.000 a seventeen time world champion. That was my big takeaway 54 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.800 here from the end of this segment. He is going 55 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.000 to set the record. He is going to make history 56 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.520 and look part of it. Also, as far as the 57 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.199 booze for Cody is that there are people who are 58 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.039 going to be at this WrestleMania who understand that this 59 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:14.400 is John Cena's final WrestleMania match. They are going to 60 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.680 be there, whether he wins or loses to witness history. 61 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.039 Because I take him at his word, he will never 62 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.840 again have a match at WrestleMania, so they're coming to them. 63 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.680 This feels special not only because it's his final WrestleMania match, 64 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.000 but because he has the opportunity to go out there 65 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:33.560 and make history by winning a seventeenth World Championship. This 66 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:38.159 was always a possibility. This was always a fear, which 67 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.080 is that if you did this match, whether you turn 68 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.240 sna heel, if he kept him babyface, you run the 69 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.680 risk of turning at least a portion of the audience 70 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.280 against Cody because maybe they like Cody. It's not that 71 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.360 they hate the guy. It's not like he has dominic 72 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:55.000 mysterio heat or Charlotte Flair heat. But John Cena is 73 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.000 the one going out there for the final time. John 74 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.960 Cena is the one going out there trying to set 75 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.439 the record, not Cody. There was always a risk to 76 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.800 doing that. So I don't know if this is going 77 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.680 to be the same reaction that we see on Sunday 78 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.680 or not. I'm sure it'll be more of a mixed reaction, 79 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.039 you know, for Cody when he comes out on Sunday. 80 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.120 But that was how They went off the air tonight 81 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.800 with John sena flat on his back for the second time, 82 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.800 and Cody Roades with that smile on his face, standing 83 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:27.279 there posing with the WWE Championship. Get Ready the Karate 84 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:33.800 Kid getting number seventeen on Sunday or WrestleMania. Now, John 85 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.079 Cena is heading into his twentieth WrestleMania, That's what he 86 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.000 told us tonight. You know who else is heading into 87 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.879 his twentieth WrestleMania, his twentieth WrestleMania match on Sunday as well. 88 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.519 Randy Orton. Casina at Orton, they got their start right 89 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.439 around the same time. Randy Orton at this moment does 90 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.720 not have an opponent for WrestleMania, and we're not going 91 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.639 to know who his opponent is for WrestleMania until Sunday, 92 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.720 because we are getting a Randy Orton Open Challenge, and 93 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:01.720 I have an idea as to who I think the 94 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.399 opponent is going to be. It is pretty obvious after 95 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.560 the show tonight that it will not be Solo Soca, 96 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:17.439 which by the way, deserves some applause. Thank God. The 97 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:19.680 way the show went off the air last week, I 98 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.279 was a little worried because we had Randy Orton and 99 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.959 Solo Soca fighting off into the crowd. I said, oh 100 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.680 my god, please, all due respect to Solo Soca, I 101 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.800 don't need to see Randy Orton and Solo Soca as 102 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.519 a WrestleMania match, So at least we could rest easy 103 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.839 doing that is not going to be the match. But 104 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.680 it also doesn't appear like it's going to be Nick 105 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.399 all this. It's going to be somebody else. And who 106 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:43.399 that person is again, I have a theorist to who 107 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.560 it may be, but we won't know for sure until Sunday. 108 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.600 The other thing also, and this is really too bad 109 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.879 if it works out this way, is that Raymisteria was 110 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.199 in action tonight. There was a six man tag team 111 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.199 match that was made during the show was Mystero, Dragon Lee, 112 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.360 and Ray Phoenix taking on Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers. 113 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.360 And it didn't take very long into the match didn't 114 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.399 look like anything out of the ordinary. Raymysterio got pulled 115 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.920 out of the ring. He was chasing Chad Gable on 116 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.040 the outside and was sliding into the ring and Julius 117 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.279 Creed grabbed him by the leg and he yanked him hard. 118 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.480 I mean no harder than normal, but he, you know, 119 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.680 give him a hard yank and he hit the floor 120 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.079 on the outside and we did not see raymysterio again 121 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.959 after that. He was laying on the outside for the 122 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.560 rest of the match. Never got back in the ring. 123 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.079 He was being tended to by a trainer. And then 124 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.680 there was video of Ray being helped out of the 125 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.879 ringside area to the back. He had to be carried 126 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:44.759 to the back. He could not put any weight at 127 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:49.439 all on his left knee, and so that is not good, 128 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.879 especially because he's got a match tomorrow against Elgnandi Americano 129 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.399 at WrestleMania, which now appears to be in grave jeopardy. 130 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.839 And so what a kick in the balls that would 131 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.519 be for Ray, who didn't have to be in a 132 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.680 match tonight, but you got three hours to fill and 133 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.600 so he ended up in the ring on a show 134 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.519 that he's not even on the SmackDown roster, but he 135 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.000 ends up in a match and potentially now is out 136 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.160 of WrestleMania. We don't know that, but it's not looking 137 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.240 good and I would feel doubly bad, not just for Ray, 138 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.800 but for all jokes aside for Chad Gable, who was 139 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.720 about to head into his very first singles match ever 140 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.040 at WrestleMania, and what happens with him now if this 141 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.800 match ends up being called off. So I'm gonna be 142 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.480 checking periodically to see if there's any updates, you know, 143 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.000 while I'm streaming as far as the ray is concerned. 144 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.839 But it didn't look good, so we'll have to wait 145 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:49.959 and find out. We also had a tag team Championship 146 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.680 match on the show tonight, boy to, I got some 147 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.959 news on that. And we also had on this show 148 00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:01.160 the annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which we 149 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.600 have on SmackDown every single year, and we've had many 150 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.759 luminaries win this Battle Royal. I remember when Baron Corbin 151 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.879 won the Battle Royal. And we've had we've had some 152 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.319 big names too, you know, We've had big show We've 153 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.639 had Braunz Stroman, We've had jay Usso last year it 154 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.759 was Bronson Reid, right and look and look at the 155 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.680 fall that he went on to have late last year. 156 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.600 So who would walk away with the win tonight? And 157 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.439 de Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, I'm going to 158 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.679 talk about that just so you know. The WWE Hall 159 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.799 of Fame is taking place in about ninety minutes. It 160 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.879 starts in ninety minutes because again they're out west, so 161 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.159 East coast time, it's not starting until one o'clock in 162 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:48.039 the morning, but it is taking place tonight at the 163 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.759 Fountain Blue or whatever wherever it is that it's being held, 164 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.440 So we have that coming up in a few hours. 165 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.000 We also know that jay Uso is going to be 166 00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:01.639 challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship in the opening 167 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.879 match on Night one. That is the match that is 168 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.600 going to open the show tomorrow night. That match is 169 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.399 going to set the tone for the rest of the show, 170 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.320 so that'll be WrestleMania Saturday. And also we found out 171 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.320 by commercial tonight that Cardi B is going to be 172 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:21.039 hosting SummerSlam, which I believe is new information. I remember 173 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.720 Cardi B was I think part of the announcement that 174 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.360 Summer Slam was going to be two nights in MetLife Stadium, 175 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.399 but I don't think they announced that she was going 176 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.120 to be the host. So yeah, she will be hosting 177 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.240 SummerSlam in August. So a lot of different things going 178 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.200 on tonight on a show that honestly it was a 179 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.960 mix of It was a mix of good and meh again. 180 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:47.919 This WrestleMania season, this road to WrestleMania has felt longer 181 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.159 because this is the latest that WrestleMania has ever been. 182 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.279 WrestleMania is usually it used to be in March sometimes, 183 00:09:55.639 --> 00:10:00.279 but typically WrestleMania is the first week of April, maybe 184 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.720 the very beginning of the second week. We've never had 185 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.960 a WrestleMania on the nineteenth and the twentieth of April. 186 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.519 We've never had a four to twenty. We've never had 187 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.320 an Easter. I don't think Easter WrestleMania before. So this 188 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.879 is different. And I think that hurt. It hurt a lot, 189 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.720 and this WrestleMania road has been dragging. I like I said, 190 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.720 I'm very happy that we're finally here. My attitude is, 191 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.320 let's get the show on the road. Please, let's get 192 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.720 these shows over with. I'm ready for WrestleMania, and I'm 193 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.000 also ready for the SmackDown review, which is why you 194 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.279 were all here.

Super chats are open. We have a goal 203 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.000 for Bonus be the booker going on in the live 204 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.679 chat right now.

I'm going to be very busy, 218 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.440 and I hope you guys will be able to join 219 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:46.120 me for each of the live reviews. So let's get 220 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.559 into this here, because when this show started tonight, we 221 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.480 had a shot outside of Solo Socoa and Tomatonga. They 222 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.600 were arriving to the venue. Tama went to go grab 223 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.480 his phone out of the backseat. He got attacked by 224 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.440 La Night, the United States Champion, who slammed a car 225 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.440 door on his left hand, and we were told later 226 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:08.919 in the show that Tomatonga was taken to a local 227 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:12.159 medical facility and we did not see him for the 228 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.600 rest of the night. This was the first step in 229 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:19.000 the master plan of La Knight to take out a 230 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.360 member of the Bloodline so that he wouldn't get involved 231 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:25.279 in his business at WrestleMania. Now back inside the building, 232 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:30.120 SmackDown technically opened with the man who is Actually he's 233 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.840 the man who closed Raw on Monday night. He opened 234 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.519 the show tonight and he is part of the big 235 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:40.039 triple threatmin event. On Night one, Roman reigns CM Punk 236 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.600 and this man Seth Rollins made his way out to 237 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.200 the ring and what did he do? He sat cross 238 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:49.240 legged in the middle of the ring, just like CM 239 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:53.600 Punk said. Punk returned to the ring after ten long years, 240 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:59.679 but it wasn't a WWE ring Ooh Rollins asked if 241 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.960 Punk return because the fans chanted his name for all 242 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.879 these years or because somebody wrote him a big fat check. 243 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:10.320 I'm gonna say maybe a little bit of both. He said. 244 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.759 When Punk burned that bridge like he does all the others, 245 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:15.840 he came back to WWE, and Rolin said it's because 246 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:19.799 they wrote him another big fat check. Tell me when 247 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.480 I'm telling lies, he said. He said Punk didn't come 248 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.720 back to WWE because of the fans. He called Punk 249 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.480 a liar and a coward. Meanwhile, he said Roman Reigns 250 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.720 doesn't even pretend to care about the fans or WWE. 251 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.080 He said Rains is in the Roman Reigns business now. 252 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.120 He called him mister private jet, mister limited schedule, mister 253 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.799 handpicked opponent. Rolin said he knows everything about sacrifice, unlike 254 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.639 his WrestleMania opponents. He said the stuff with Punk actually 255 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:55.399 started twelve years ago, and it started with Paul Hayman. Said. 256 00:13:55.440 --> 00:14:02.759 Hayman brought himself, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose into WWE 257 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:08.039 to be a shield for Cmpunk, and every single night 258 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.639 he sacrificed everything that he had in this ring to 259 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:14.000 be that shield. And did he get any of the credit. 260 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:18.159 Absolutely not, because everybody in the back wanted the spotlight 261 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.679 on Roman Reins. Actually, it was one man in particular 262 00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.600 who wanted the spotlight, come hell or high water, he 263 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:29.759 wanted the spotlight on Roman Reins. Crab reactions be damned. 264 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.320 But he who shall not be named, he says it 265 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.840 was always about Roman Rains, the next John Cena, the 266 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.919 next cash cow for WWE. And after Cmpunk took his 267 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.879 ball and went home, he heard little echoes of cm 268 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:47.200 punk chants. Meanwhile, he was making every show, He was 269 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:50.080 sacrificing everything that he had, and it all came to 270 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.240 a head last year in the main event of WrestleMania, 271 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.159 with his knee hanging by a thread and with his 272 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.879 stepfather at home dying of cancer. But he made sure 273 00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:01.600 that he was there at the very end to be 274 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.039 a shield, to make sure that Roman Reigns lost. This 275 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.200 story between them started twelve years ago when Paul Hayman 276 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.600 brought Roman and himself into WWE, and it ends tomorrow 277 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.879 night in the most important triple threat match in the 278 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.799 history of their industry. This is the same thing that 279 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.440 he said on Monday night, the most important triple threat 280 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.200 match not only in the history of the company, but 281 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:31.120 in the history of all the professional wrestling, and he 282 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.240 promises that he will do exactly what he's done for 283 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.039 the past twelve years. He will lay it all on 284 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.399 the line. He will sacrifice everything that he has to 285 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:43.120 make sure that this business, this company, this industry moves 286 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.639 forward in the right direction. And that's not a prediction, 287 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:51.799 that's a spoiler. And then he did his Hyena laugh 288 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.960 to close out the segment. As seth Rolin's promos go, 289 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.480 this was one of his better ones. He laid out 290 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.240 all of the text behind this match tomorrow night, in 291 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.720 the history between all three of these men, and he 292 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.840 set himself up to basically be some kind of savior, right, 293 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.960 I need to win this match because I'm going to 294 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:13.919 be the savior of this company. I'm going to be 295 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:17.679 the savior of this industry, which, of course is ridiculous 296 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.200 when you speak in hyperbole like this, it just sounds 297 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:25.759 so so just fucking ridiculous. But this is how they're 298 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.440 promoting this match tomorrow night. What they're really doing here 299 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:34.279 is they're really without saying it, they're teasing this favor 300 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.320 that rollin, says Hayman, now owes him for not stomping 301 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:43.960 him into the matt last week, and in effect, they're 302 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.919 teasing the idea that there may be some kind of 303 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.200 association with Hayman and Rawlins. That's what they want you 304 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.679 to think. Even the mention at the very end, though 305 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.519 it's not a prediction, that's a spoiler. What was the 306 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:58.000 final scene that we had on Monday night? It was 307 00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.960 Paul Haman cowering in the corner and Seth Rollins standing 308 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:02.840 there with a chair in his hands, staring at Hayman. 309 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.039 Not the first time that one of these segments with 310 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:09.359 them has ended with Rollins standing tall, looking down at 311 00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:12.440 Paul Hayman. This is what they want you to think. 312 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.240 Whether it goes that way or not, this is what 313 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.880 they want you to think. And so does he leave 314 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.240 with Paul Hayman at the end of the night? Right? 315 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.279 This is certainly a possibility. I don't think that Paul 316 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.680 Hayman and Seth Rollins run off together like Romeo and 317 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.400 Juliet at the end of this match. But is that 318 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:34.920 what we're gonna see? Are we going to see a 319 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.400 situation where Paul Hayman, who has been stressed to the 320 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:43.960 max and has been pulled again, like Gumby, like Stretch Armstrong, 321 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.759 back and forth between Roman Reigns and Cempunk. You're my 322 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.039 tribal cheap, but you're my best friend. Oh my god, 323 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:51.079 I don't know what to do. And in the end 324 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:54.079 the pressure just gets to him. And does he leave 325 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:57.559 with Seth Rollins? Does he just leave? And you know, 326 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.920 I don't mean leave with Rollins, but just leave where 327 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.359 I'm not going to help either one of you, you know. 328 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.319 And Rollins ends up getting the win that way. Does 329 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.160 he not align with Paul Hayman, but he gets the 330 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.119 win and then he plays a role in the match 331 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.279 on night two, the main event that is on Night two. 332 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.359 That's also a possibility here because there are people who 333 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:24.039 think that Rollins is, you know, potentially going to end 334 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:28.480 up as part of this heel crew. People talking about 335 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:33.400 a third man, like fucking Mabel trying the nWo back 336 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:38.119 in ninety six. I think Bischoff still rips it to Meltzer, 337 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:39.960 saying that Meltzer claim Mabel is going to be the 338 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:43.200 third man, but is there going to be a third 339 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.880 man in that even though we've barely seen the second man. 340 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.559 I've made that comment recently like people still talking about 341 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:52.720 the possibility of a third man. Look, I can't discount it. 342 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.160 It's just hilarious to me that people would think like 343 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.920 that because we haven't seen The Rock in a month 344 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.000 and a half, barely seen Sena, and people are talking 345 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:08.279 about third man. Where's the other one? Could it happen? 346 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.960 It's possible. Could seth Rawlins end up aligned with them, 347 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.440 Could seth Rollins win Night one, get involved in the 348 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.960 main event on Night two and cost Cody Rhodes the 349 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.200 WWE Championship? And if so, how do you make sense 350 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.720 of that? And then where does that go? So? I 351 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:28.480 mean there are different possibilities here. Honestly, it all ends 352 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:33.079 up in the execution. If the execution is great and 353 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.079 the execution makes sense, then I'm intrigued. Then I would 354 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.920 love to see where that goes. The idea of Rollins 355 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.839 and Hayman becoming an on screen item, you know, manager 356 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:47.039 and client. It's not something that Rollins needs. But I 357 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:49.960 can't say that, Oh I would hate it. I don't 358 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.920 think it's necessary, But that doesn't mean that if it happens, 359 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.160 I can't grow to like it. If there's a good 360 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.319 reason for it. It's just not a pairing that I'm expecting. 361 00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:01.400 It's not a pairing that I think is necessary, but 362 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.640 I do feel like there's something that's got to go 363 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.200 down in that Night one main event, given that they're 364 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:10.359 closing the show, and does what happens in Night one 365 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.039 doesn't end up connecting Tonight two in some way. These 366 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:15.839 are the questions that I don't have any answers to, 367 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.640 but I'm curious to see if one does have something 368 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:24.839 to do with the other. We'll find out now. Up 369 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:30.640 next was the annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, 370 00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:35.079 won last year by Bronson Reid, who they then didn't 371 00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.440 do a whole hell of a lot with, But there 372 00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.039 was an opportunity for him to really get over at 373 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.440 the end of the summer, and he took full advantage 374 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.400 of it, and Bronson Reid became one of those musty 375 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.720 attractions on Monday Night Raw and the matches and the 376 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:53.400 matches and the segments with him and braun Stroman and 377 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:56.200 you know, Godzilla and King Kong. There was a lot 378 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.079 of good stuff that came out of that, and it's 379 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.400 really unfortunate that he got her when he did, but 380 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:03.640 he was the winner of last year's Battle Royal this 381 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.039 year doing it on SmackDown, which they've done now for 382 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:10.000 several years, it actually paid off for them because it 383 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.200 was a good way for them to kill time because 384 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.640 this is the first time that smack Down is three hours, 385 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:17.240 so doing the Battle Royal on this show ended up 386 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.839 working to their advantage. So they were already wrestlers in 387 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.640 the ring who came out as they were running down 388 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.720 the matches for the WrestleMania card. They did that again 389 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:27.640 at the very end of the show. It was a 390 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:29.599 little odd that they were doing it here so early 391 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.319 in the show, but then when they came back live, 392 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.880 it made sense because most of the wrestlers were already 393 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:39.839 in the ring. Ray Phoenix and Shinsky n Alkamora were 394 00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:43.400 the only ones who got televised entrances. The other thing 395 00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:48.599 also is they said this first hour was commercial free, 396 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:51.319 which for the most part it was, but not really. 397 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.119 They didn't even make it fifty minutes in and we 398 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.000 got our first commercial. But again because they were commercial free, 399 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:01.559 we had to go through the WrestleMania car so they 400 00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:03.920 can get everybody down to the ring for the Battle Royal. 401 00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:08.559 So again Ray Phoenix, Knockamore, they get entrances and then 402 00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.039 we kick things off here. Carlito was the first one eliminated. 403 00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.079 He had his apple with him and Our Truth took 404 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:16.759 it away from him and took a bite out of 405 00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:20.960 his apple. Carlito got dumped out, then Our Truth got 406 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:24.720 dumped out Los Garza. They tried to dump Ray Phoenix, 407 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:28.359 who countered out of it and dumped Burdo. Then he 408 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:31.839 dumped Angel, so they were both out of there. Theory 409 00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:35.119 and Waller they eliminated. Both members are pretty deadly. Ludwig 410 00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.519 Kaiser was in the Battle Royal. He was eliminated by 411 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:40.759 Tyler Bate or he, I should say he eliminated Tyler Bait. 412 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.200 Santos Escobar, who has been showing a lot of respect recently. 413 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.119 He has been very uh, I don't know, magnanimous. I 414 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.119 guess towards Ray Phoenix. He was talking to Phoenix here 415 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:55.319 in this Battle Royal, and he was trying to form 416 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:58.200 an alliance with him, like, oh, let's work together, and 417 00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:01.839 he thought that they had an understanding, but then Phoenix 418 00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.759 ended up eliminating him. So I guess that's gonna be 419 00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:08.000 what kind of turns Ascabar against Phoenix, I would imagine, 420 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.119 and we'll end up getting a match out of that. 421 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:15.480 Soon the Creeds they dumped out Tozawa. That pissed off Otis, 422 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.559 who closedline Julius and Brutus out of the ring. But 423 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:21.160 in doing so, all the momentum sent Otis himself out 424 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.480 over the top rope, so all three of them went 425 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.799 flying out of the ring. They were all eliminated. Andrade, hey, 426 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.559 there he is. There's Androde I've been wondering where he is. 427 00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:36.200 Androti was in the Battle Royal. He dumped out Grayson Waller, 428 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:39.519 and then he dumped out Austin Theory, and then all 429 00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:43.880 the luchadors who were in the ring, Androde Dragon Le 430 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.880 Ray Phoenix, they all surrounded Chad Gable. Oh and Joaquin 431 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.759 Wilde was in there as well, Cruz del Toro the LWO. 432 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.200 So they all kind of gang up on Chad Gable 433 00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:01.200 here and Ray Phoenix ends up being the one to 434 00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.720 do the deed. He dumps Gable out of the ring 435 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:08.839 Gable's gun and Gable has obviously had some terrible luck 436 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:12.200 this year with the Lucha Bros. It has not worked 437 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.559 out well for him. What a damn shame, by the 438 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:19.680 way that Chad Gable didn't get a match at WrestleMania 439 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.920 this year. He is relegated to the SmackDown before many. 440 00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.759 No Chad Gable match at wrestle Mania. I can't believe it. 441 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.200 Nakamura shoved Joking Wilde off the ropes to the floor 442 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.160 when he went climbing. Carrion Cross was in the Battle 443 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.920 Royal and he took Cruz del Toro to the floor 444 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:40.720 with a forearm shot as he was setting up for 445 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.440 some kind of springboard move. He got forearmed out to 446 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:46.480 the floor and then he looked down at him and 447 00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.400 he shouted at him that Raymisterio was just using him. 448 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.279 He's just using you, he said. Dragon Lee came back 449 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.359 and dumped out, carrying Cross, and this actually got booze 450 00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:03.319 from the crowd. Remember the gimmick Battle Royal in wrestlemaniacts seven. 451 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.160 If you don't, I don't blame you. I enjoyed it though. 452 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:09.720 But we had the gimmick Battle Royal in WrestleMania seventeen 453 00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:13.599 and Doink the clown comes out and he gets one 454 00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:16.000 of the biggest pops of anybody in the entire match, 455 00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.240 and when he got dumped, I want to say maybe 456 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:21.440 it was Kamala that dumped him. But whatever it was, 457 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:27.519 Doink gets dumped and everybody booed like they were genuinely 458 00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:30.079 upset to see him go out of the Battle roy 459 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.200 And the reason I'm bringing this up is because I 460 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.640 was just watching it recently because they had uploaded it, 461 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.880 I think, to the Vault channel on YouTube, and so 462 00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:41.359 I'm watching this and Cross. I'm not saying Cross is Doink, 463 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.720 but you know, he gets eliminated from the Battle Royal 464 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:49.680 and the people boo because they genuinely were upset that 465 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:51.960 he got dumped out of the ring. I was like, whoa, 466 00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:55.119 Like it was kind of nice. I'll talk about why 467 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:58.759 in a second, but it was an unexpected reaction. Yeah. 468 00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:01.799 For the people to respond that way means that there 469 00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:07.279 are people out there who care. Are they listening? Were 470 00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:09.759 the people in the back listening and paying attention to that? 471 00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:13.440 I hope? So. I know sometimes they're not too keen 472 00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:17.279 on the people voicing their opinions, but the fact that 473 00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:21.119 it wasn't online, hopefully they'll actually take that under consideration. 474 00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:24.039 So knock him or a dumb dragonly out of the ring. 475 00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.160 Pete Dunn pulled Kaiser out over the top rope to 476 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.400 the floor. That kind of surprised me. Pete Dunn has 477 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:34.119 not been pushed lately. Kaiser, I mean, Kaiser hasn't really 478 00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:35.880 been pushed that hard either, but he's been pushed more 479 00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:39.119 than Pete Dunn, so him going out there surprised me. 480 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:43.880 The Miz and Carmelo Hayes were also in this Battle 481 00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:47.079 Royal and they ended up on the apron together. They 482 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:49.319 weren't fighting, but they just ended up out on the apron. 483 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.279 Pete Dunn did the fingersnap move on Mellow. Miss then 484 00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.839 saved him from falling backwards. He would have been eliminated, 485 00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:01.240 so the Miss saved him and Hayes kind of he 486 00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.480 pulled Mis and Mis went flying through the ropes back 487 00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:08.519 into the ring, so he was safe, uh, but then 488 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.519 he ended up or or I'm sorry he did that 489 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.000 with Mellow. Mellow ends up getting sling shotted back into 490 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.000 the rings, so Miss was able to get him to safety, 491 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.480 but then he took the bullet from Mello and Mis 492 00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:25.119 ended up getting knocked to the floor. Mello was still 493 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.799 in though, and he came back and eliminated Pete Donne, 494 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.759 and then we were down to the final four, which 495 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:38.839 was Ray Phoenix, Shinsky, Knackimoora Androtte and Carmelo Hayes. Knackamora 496 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:43.039 got dropped out. Kevin done, Kevin dunk, Kevin Dune, Kevin done, 497 00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:48.000 Kevin done, Kevin dun, Kevin Dune, Kevin done. Fuck Kevin done. 498 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:54.680 That's right, Fuck Kevin done. Thank you King Nator for 499 00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:59.240 the thirty eight dollars. Fuck Kevin done. Super chat never 500 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.400 gets old, never gets old. It's a message that needs 501 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:06.519 to be communicated more off. We need to hear them 502 00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:13.119 more often. So knakamur goat droppkicked off the ropes and 503 00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:16.200 out to the floor by Androde, and so then there 504 00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:21.480 were three. We had Androde and Mellow. They were on 505 00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.720 the ropes. They were not in the corner, but they 506 00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:25.480 were kind of in the center. I think Melo went 507 00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:29.240 for a springboard move, but Androde met him there. So 508 00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:31.799 Phoenix came up behind them and shoved them both over 509 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:36.440 the top. Neither man's feet hit the floor. They're hanging there. 510 00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.920 But Ray Phoenix did the dumb baby face move where 511 00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:41.519 he just assumes they were eliminated. So now he turns 512 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.640 where's back is turned, and he's on his knees like yes, yes, yes, 513 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:49.160 So he's celebrating, not realizing that these two men are 514 00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:54.319 still in the match. Mello clubs him from behind. Phoenix, though, 515 00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:57.720 made a comeback and he was running wild on both men, 516 00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:01.240 and he went to walk the rope he has says goodbye, Amigo. 517 00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:04.079 Kick right, So he's about to run the top rope 518 00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:06.480 when all of a sudden, who should show up on 519 00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:11.839 the apron to trip him up. It's El Grande Americano, 520 00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.359 who's not in the Battle Royal, but he did make 521 00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:20.559 a cameo appearance here tonight. So Phoenix gets crotched and 522 00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:23.160 El Grande Americano pulls him out to the floor. So 523 00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:29.039 Ray Phoenix is eliminated. He's out of the Battle Royal. 524 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:34.319 See that's for Chad Gable. Gable got dumped by Phoenix, 525 00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:36.799 and so, I guess Americano didn't like that very much. 526 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.279 And then it was down to two. We were down 527 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:45.960 to Androtte, we were down to Carmelo Hayes. Best of seven, 528 00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:49.920 let's make it eight. So they had this great back 529 00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:52.279 and forth that ended with Androte blasting him with that 530 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:55.680 back elbow. I mean, it's one of those things where 531 00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:59.039 I don't even really want to watch it back and 532 00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.519 slow it down to like see how he does it. 533 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:04.839 Every time he hits that move, even going back to 534 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.960 when he was using it in aw It's just it's 535 00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.599 so vicious, you know, it makes that great noise he 536 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.720 does it. It's such like a rapid fire move, like 537 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.039 if you're an inch off, like a split second difference, 538 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:20.759 and you can break someone's fucking nose. But it just 539 00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:22.880 it's such a great move. And so he catches him 540 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:25.599 with it, and so both men now are down. We 541 00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:27.759 have the double down in the ring, and the fans 542 00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:30.680 now give both men a standing ovation. They're loving this. 543 00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:34.440 So they made it back to their feet. Mello dropped 544 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.440 him with a sup plex into a cutter. Melo went 545 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:40.279 for the springboard Androtte met him on the ropes as 546 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:44.680 he did earlier. But Melo slipped down and he grabbed 547 00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:46.680 him and he dumped him out over the top rope 548 00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:50.279 and Androde hit the floor hard. And so Carmelo Hayes 549 00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.440 is the winner of the twenty twenty five Andre the 550 00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:59.319 Giant Memorial Battle Royal. And look at that. Look at 551 00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:04.440 that he actually won something Carmelo doesn't do too many, 552 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:06.519 you know, he doesn't do too much winning here on 553 00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:09.359 this show. Now they have him in this tag team 554 00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:12.720 with the Miz, but even before that, he wasn't exactly 555 00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:15.359 a light in the world on fire with wins. But 556 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:19.440 I got to give a shout out here to Zengetsu 557 00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:21.759 in the chat, who had a comment earlier that I 558 00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:24.400 thought was just dead on. He said, the only time 559 00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.279 Melow don't miss is when the game isn't on the line. 560 00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:32.119 And it's so true. It is just so true. You know, 561 00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:35.640 these Andre Battle Royals, they're usually throw away, you know, 562 00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:39.759 for me, the throwaway affairs. I enjoyed this one a 563 00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:42.680 little bit more. I wonder if maybe the lack of commercials. 564 00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:45.920 I'm sure the lack of commercials helped because usually you 565 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.079 have the commercial breaks. We didn't have that this time, 566 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:51.000 so that was kind of nice, whether it leads to 567 00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:54.160 a sustained push or not. For Carmelo Hayes, look, I've 568 00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.519 been fooled with this stuff before. I'll believe it when 569 00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.000 I see it. He was the number one draft pick 570 00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:01.400 for this show last year. They went on to do 571 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:05.119 very little with him, and want I say very little, 572 00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:08.000 very little in the way of anything meaningful. They did 573 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:10.559 not treat him like a first round draft pick, not 574 00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:13.240 saying he needs to go on a Goldberg undefeated streak, 575 00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:16.400 But you can't honestly look at what they ended up 576 00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.160 doing with Carmelo Hayes last year and said, oh, this 577 00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:23.680 is great for his career. It wasn't. It was terrible. 578 00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:27.039 Despite all the great matches that he and Androtte went 579 00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.039 out there and had, it was terrible. It was awful. 580 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:32.640 So I hope that this is the beginning of a 581 00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:36.440 turnaround for him, because he is very talented, and whatever 582 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.680 you think his ceiling is, he should absolutely be doing 583 00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:43.000 more than what they have him doing right now for 584 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:44.599 his sake, I hope. So I hope that this is 585 00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:47.079 the beginning of something special for him. Whether it's on 586 00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:51.279 SmackDown or Raw, it doesn't matter. I liked how they 587 00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:54.359 had Phoenix dump Gable and then they had Americano come 588 00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:58.000 out to get revenge for the time he was in there. 589 00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.000 Phoenix looked good. You know, he was obviously one of 590 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.960 the last ones in there there at the end, he 591 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.119 got to eliminate a bunch of people. It also opens 592 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:11.160 up the possibility of a Phoenix cameo at WrestleMania, is 593 00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:14.039 what I was thinking at this point, and we'll talk 594 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.759 about the Americano match with Raymisterio a little bit later. 595 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:20.559 But before all that happened, I'm watching this thinking, Okay, 596 00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:23.599 maybe Phoenix will get involved, or he'll be present in 597 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:25.799 some way at WrestleMania, maybe he'll get on the show 598 00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:29.279 in some way. But I don't want to ignore this. 599 00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:32.279 I want to go back to this here. Carrion Cross 600 00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:36.279 gets eliminated and there were loud boos. People were upset 601 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:38.319 that he got dumped as early as he did, and 602 00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:40.319 maybe there were some people who thought he would actually win. 603 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:44.359 I didn't because there's really no reason to think that 604 00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.279 he was going to win anything. But the fact that 605 00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:49.920 the fans cared enough to actually boo and say, hey, 606 00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:51.759 we don't like the fact that you dump this man 607 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.200 out of this match is a good sign for him. 608 00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:56.720 And I talked about carrying Cross during my Raw review 609 00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:59.279 because he had a rare singles match on Raw against 610 00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.079 AJ Style, and so I was talking about him for 611 00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:05.599 a little bit, and you know, maybe maybe maybe they'll 612 00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.039 take notice of this and say, you know what, maybe 613 00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.800 there is something worth doing with this guy where we 614 00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:13.320 we give him not not just more consistent television time, 615 00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:15.800 but come up with a real story for him instead 616 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:17.920 of having him go around and just get involved in 617 00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:21.880 other people's business and make little cryptic comments. Let's come 618 00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:24.800 up with something a little bit more involved for him 619 00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:27.719 to do, like a dedicated story, and give him a 620 00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.400 push and see where it goes. You know, they've had 621 00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:33.199 him under contract for so long, and it just feels 622 00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:35.239 like for so long, you know, he's been on the 623 00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:39.559 back burner. They tried the Final Testament stuff. Obviously the 624 00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:43.960 Final Testament is no more. Aop is gone, Paul Ellering 625 00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:47.719 is gone, but he remains with Scarlett because they must 626 00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:51.800 see something there and why they haven't tapped into it more. 627 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.719 I don't know. Is it going to work or not? 628 00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:58.239 I don't know, but it feels like we're kind of 629 00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.760 reaching this critical now where it's like, okay, now he's 630 00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:04.199 either gonna get some kind of a push, like a 631 00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.320 mid level push and see where it goes or not. 632 00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:11.880 And it was very interesting hearing the reaction tonight. I 633 00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:16.559 would like to see them try just try try something 634 00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:21.559 heel or babyface. I actually think he could probably get 635 00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:25.440 over as a babyface too. But that was very interesting 636 00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:30.199 the reaction tonight. So then they aired a sit down interview, 637 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:35.360 or more accurately, I should probably say a snippet of 638 00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:38.320 a sit down interview filmed a few days ago with 639 00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:43.159 the Waldorf for Astoria, with Wade Barrett speaking with Charlotte Flair, 640 00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:46.719 who of course, is challenging for the WWE Women's Championship 641 00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:51.719 this weekend tomorrow. He said things have gotten personal of 642 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:56.480 late with her and Tiffany Stratton. She sent Charlotte goes 643 00:35:56.519 --> 00:36:00.360 you don't say, he said, she was even sent away 644 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.880 from the arena by management, and then Charlotte said, well, 645 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:06.280 it's not the first time, so why have things gotten 646 00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:11.159 so ugly between the two of you? And Charlotte took 647 00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:15.440 a long pause before she spoke and said that she 648 00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.159 doesn't love it. They've moved past it. She has a 649 00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:21.719 chip on her shoulder and she thinks Tiffany does as well. 650 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.039 She doesn't love it, but now people are really invested 651 00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:27.960 in their WrestleMania match, and if there's one thing that 652 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.000 matters to her, it's that people are tuned in to 653 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:33.719 see Charlotte Flair and her match. This is how they 654 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:37.079 got here. But people are invested and that's what this 655 00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:40.639 business is about. Sometimes it can be insensitive but that's 656 00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:46.079 how you get tough skin. Certainly didn't seem like she 657 00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:51.679 had tough skin when she was faltering under the weight 658 00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:53.639 of the reaction that she got a few weeks ago 659 00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:56.639 in Chicago from that crowd where she got flustered and 660 00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.119 things kind of not even kind of I mean off 661 00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:03.960 the rails at that point. It was weird watching this. 662 00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:06.840 This This almost felt like an interview that she would 663 00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:09.280 be giving if she was being interviewed at a radio station, 664 00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:12.480 if she was doing one of these PR interviews like 665 00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:16.280 people have been doing all week and the host just 666 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:18.920 asked her, Hey, you know what happened in that segment 667 00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:21.400 with Tiffany a few weeks ago, Like that's the kind 668 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:23.239 of answer that she gave here, Like they're trying to 669 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:28.800 lean into the the realness of it. We didn't get 670 00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:32.039 much here. That was literally the only snippet of this 671 00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:34.480 interview that they show, because apparently they're going to be 672 00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:38.000 showing the entire thing on one of the pre shows 673 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.119 this weekend if they have enough time. Of course, because 674 00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:43.119 you know the pre show, the pre show on Saturday 675 00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:44.920 and the pre show on Sunday they were only three 676 00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:46.840 hours each. I don't know if there's going to be 677 00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:50.639 enough time two three hour I guest six hours of 678 00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:53.880 pre shows this weekend. You think they have enough time 679 00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:59.719 to air the entire interview, Hey, Rectangle Galaxy, you rule too, 680 00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:08.079 Thank you, Rectangle Galaxy. Anyway, the entire interview will be 681 00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:11.360 airing this weekend if you are interested enough to watch 682 00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:14.519 me personally, I have so much going on anyway, I 683 00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.639 Am not going to be sitting here dedicating three hours 684 00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:20.840 each night to a pre show, especially with no matches 685 00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:24.159 on them. But if you would like to do so, 686 00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:27.840 there it is. That's where you can find it. Speaking 687 00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:31.320 of women's championship matches, there is another women's championship match, 688 00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:33.599 this one on Sunday. I believe it's opening the show 689 00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:38.639 WrestleMania Sunday. That is Ria Ripley Eosky and Bianca bell Air. 690 00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:41.480 Rihea Ripley was out to the ring for a promo 691 00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:43.639 and she talked about this being the most important match 692 00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:47.000 of her career. She allowed herself to get distracted by 693 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:50.960 Bianca bell Air and she lost her title before WrestleMania. 694 00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:56.280 She said, that's her fault, that's her bad. She could 695 00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:58.159 come out here and moan and complain about it, but 696 00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:00.880 that's in the past. Say she gets back what she 697 00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:04.079 wants and does what she has to do. She is 698 00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:07.360 walking out of WrestleMania, she says, a three time women's 699 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:12.320 world champion. Eo sky interrupted, Here comes the champion. The 700 00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:15.599 champ is here. She makes her way out to the ring, 701 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:19.480 and do you believe this bullshit, the disrespect that this 702 00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:22.840 woman has been shown multiple times here in this bill 703 00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:26.159 to WrestleMania continue tonight because she did not even get 704 00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:29.639 a word out before Bianca bell Air's music interrupted her, 705 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:32.360 And so Bianca bell Air comes down to the ring. 706 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:36.519 Bianca was immediately booed as soon as she started. She 707 00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:38.599 got the Cody treatment, or maybe I should say Cody 708 00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:41.519 got the Bianca treatment, because with Bianca it's been going 709 00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:44.880 on now since Europe. So she immediately gets booed. As 710 00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:47.880 she begins speaking, she said, tonight may actually be her 711 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:50.480 last night on SmackDown for a while because at WrestleMania 712 00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:53.480 she's walking out as the champion, and after what the 713 00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:55.360 two of them put her through, she doesn't plan on 714 00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:02.280 letting it go anytime soon. Then Naomi's music interrupts. She says, 715 00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:05.880 Beanca finally decided to show up on SmackDown, and she's 716 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:08.639 not even going to talk to me. You're not even 717 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:12.280 going to talk to me. She's filled up her voicemail box. 718 00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:15.599 She's been calling Beanca like crazy and texting her, and 719 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:19.719 she knows she got it because it says delivered, yes, 720 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:23.679 but does it say red? Does she have read receipts 721 00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:26.280 on see? That's the real question, because if it says 722 00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:28.599 red and she didn't get back to you, I mean, 723 00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.280 that's fucked up. You know. If it's delivered, it's like, 724 00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:33.559 all right, she probably saw, but you really can't prove it, 725 00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:37.159 you know what I mean. She didn't specify anyway. She says, 726 00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:40.679 does their friendship mean so little to Bianca? She didn't 727 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:43.039 even want to do this and have everybody in their business. 728 00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:46.039 She wanted to keep this private, but since she wants 729 00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:49.360 to ignore her, And then Beanca interrupted her and got 730 00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.039 booed again, and she said, Naomi knows exactly why she's 731 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:56.679 not responding. She says, I said what I said, So 732 00:40:56.800 --> 00:40:59.119 Naomi got into the ring and said, you care about 733 00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:03.000 Jade that much? Huh. Jade wasn't there for Bianca like 734 00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:06.280 she was Tomorrow, She's gonna finish what she started with Jade, 735 00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:09.440 and after that, and then before she could say the 736 00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:13.800 next part, Jade's music hits, so Jade Cargill power walks 737 00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.239 her way down to the ring. Naomi slipped out of 738 00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:19.280 the ring and Bianca got in front of Jade, who 739 00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:23.280 was upset with Bianca for doing so. Ria then said, Jade, 740 00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:27.159 this isn't about you. But before she could say anything else, 741 00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:32.719 Naomi slipped into the ring behind Jade and shoved her 742 00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:37.239 into Rhea. Rhea then got shoved into Bianca. Jade attacked Naomi, 743 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:40.679 Bianca attacked Ria, and the world champion is standing there 744 00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:43.400 with nothing to do. She is a complete afterthoughs is. 745 00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:45.320 She's standing there and she's looking at this brawl, and 746 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:48.280 she's looking at that brawl and EO is just standing there. 747 00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:50.920 So she climbs to the top rope and she hits 748 00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:53.679 her over the moon salt to the floor. Because at 749 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:57.960 that point Ria's out there, Beyanca's out there, a bunch 750 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.760 of security geeks are out there trying to set right them. 751 00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:05.280 Eo hits her moon Salt wipes everybody out, including the 752 00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:09.760 security and everybody except Jade and Naomi. They're already elsewhere, 753 00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:13.400 but the rest of them fall down I'm loving this 754 00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:15.519 Naomi so far. I have said this last week. I've 755 00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:17.440 given her a lot of praise for these little vignettes 756 00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:20.000 that they've done with her. She came out tonight. I'm 757 00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:25.119 loving this scorn friend that she is portraying on TV. 758 00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:29.400 I think that beating Jade tomorrow night and then costing 759 00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:32.679 Beianca the title on Sunday is the way to go. 760 00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:37.679 I think that's the play here. Now. You could have 761 00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:40.199 Jade beat Naomi and still Naomi could do the same 762 00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:43.760 thing and come out on Sunday cost Beyonca the championship. 763 00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:47.519 It still works. I'm just of the mindset that Naomi 764 00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:50.800 just turned heel. She hasn't really had a major match 765 00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:54.280 yet and in her first major match after her heel turn. 766 00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:57.800 And I feel the same way about John Cena. He's 767 00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:00.559 going into his first WrestleMania as a heel. He's going 768 00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:04.400 into his first WrestleMania, his first match as a heel 769 00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.840 since the turn at Elimination Chamber, and unless it's a 770 00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.320 very short term thing with him, I feel the same 771 00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:12.960 way where it just doesn't make sense to send them 772 00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:15.960 out there and have them lose in their first real 773 00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:18.920 big match. Is a heel. So I feel the same 774 00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:21.599 way for Naomi. It's not the kiss of death if 775 00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:23.800 she does lose, because I still think she would get 776 00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:26.719 involved in the match on Sunday. But I think that's 777 00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:29.519 the way to go. I just don't see Bianca winning 778 00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:31.760 the championship, if for no other reason, because I don't 779 00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:34.320 see her moving to Raw. She has this story on 780 00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:38.119 SmackDown that is unfinished. She has unfinished business with Naomi 781 00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:41.599 and Jade. They're not going to move her to Monday 782 00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:46.360 Night Raw. It's a Raw title, So Naomi getting involved 783 00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:49.960 makes all the sense in the world. Now, Naomi's been 784 00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:51.320 trying to talk to her, I mean, this is the 785 00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:53.440 logic behind it, right. She came out tonight, I've been 786 00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:55.559 trying to talk to you and texting you and calling you. 787 00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:58.480 You're not responding to me and all of this stuff. 788 00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:01.960 And she says, you know, Yanka says, we're not doing 789 00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:05.559 this now. I'm not doing this. I'm not talking about 790 00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.800 this now. I'm not addressing this now. So what better 791 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:10.679 way for Naomi to get her attention than to show 792 00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:13.679 up on Sunday during her match and get her attention 793 00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:17.599 that way, and it ends up costing her potentially winning 794 00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:22.159 the Women's World Championship. Now there is another possibility here. 795 00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:26.800 They could go a totally different way with it and 796 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:31.920 have Naomi come out to help Bianca if she wants 797 00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:34.119 to show Bianca that I'm still trying to be your friend. 798 00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:38.599 Instead of her coming out and being nasty about it 799 00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:41.880 and trying to cost her the match, she could come 800 00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:44.880 out try to help. Maybe Beyanka dos a wander help, 801 00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:49.440 but Jade comes out if Naomi's there, and it works 802 00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:53.079 even better if Naomi beats Jade on Saturday, because if 803 00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:56.840 Naomi shows up on Sunday, here comes Jade. But then 804 00:44:56.920 --> 00:45:00.159 Jade getting involved along with Naomi. All of this is 805 00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:04.599 what ends up costing Beyanca, distracts her whatever however you 806 00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:07.239 want to work it out, but the end result is 807 00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:09.519 the same, which is that she does not win the 808 00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:12.559 Women's World Championship. So that takes her out of that picture, 809 00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:16.079 plants her firmly back on SmackDown, and she is right 810 00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:18.519 in the middle of all of this drama because now 811 00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:21.079 these two women they cost her the title. Now she 812 00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:24.480 has beef with Jade, even though Jade didn't mean to 813 00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:28.239 come out and do that. If that works out that way, 814 00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:30.440 now Bianca has a reason to be upset with her, 815 00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:33.639 So that's another way they could go with it. But 816 00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:35.639 the end result of this, no matter what, is that 817 00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:38.840 Bianca Belair is not walking out on Sunday with the 818 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.760 Women's World Championship. But listen to the reaction that Bianca 819 00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:47.840 got on the show tonight, Listen to the reaction that 820 00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:51.360 Bianca has got every single week going back to the 821 00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:54.639 European tour. You could argue, and some people did that, 822 00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:58.199 all it's just the European crowds. They're trying to be 823 00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:02.079 you know, contrarian or whatever their reasons were, they just 824 00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:04.599 don't like Bianca in this few They really love Ria, 825 00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:06.719 they really love Leo, and so Beyanca is kind of 826 00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:09.039 the odd person out. But it was like, oh, that's 827 00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:13.480 a European thing. The European crowds just don't like her. Well, 828 00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:16.159 they've been back from Europe now for what two and 829 00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:20.239 a half weeks, almost three weeks now, and she's been 830 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:24.400 getting the same noticeable booze from the crowd every single 831 00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:28.800 city that she's in. If they're listening to these crowds 832 00:46:29.159 --> 00:46:33.199 and if this becomes the norm, then maybe the way 833 00:46:33.199 --> 00:46:36.599 to go is to have Beanca go heal. Maybe she 834 00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:40.960 Maybe the story is that she was the mastermind behind 835 00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:43.280 the entire plot. Could that be why some of the 836 00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:45.320 fans are booing her. Are there fans who believe that 837 00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:49.079 she will be revealed to be the real mastermind behind 838 00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:52.719 what happened to Jade all those many months ago? Is 839 00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:57.079 that part of what we're hearing with these reactions. But 840 00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:59.559 whether it is or it isn't, Maybe in the end, 841 00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:02.760 Bianca and Beyonca and Naomi end up on the same 842 00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:05.440 side in Jade's the baby face, but those two are 843 00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:08.880 the heel. I don't know. I mean, look, I I'm 844 00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.239 here for a heel Bianca. I would love to see it. 845 00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:13.039 I don't know if that's what they want to do, 846 00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.559 but I would love to see heel beyoncea. You saw 847 00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:18.400 a little bit of it tonight. You know, she had 848 00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:21.320 that attitude with the fans, like, I'm not here to 849 00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:25.119 take your shit. These two were talking about me, I 850 00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:29.639 got a match coming up on Sunday. You're basically like screwall. 851 00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:32.559 Basically was kind of the attitude and the vibe I 852 00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:36.079 was getting tonight because she's not wrongly, She's done nothing wrong. 853 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:39.159 That's the thing. Like they're booing her, but she's done 854 00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:43.800 nothing wrong. But sometimes the fans react the way they react, 855 00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:46.360 and you have to just listen to it and go 856 00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:49.039 with the flow, and sometimes you gotta pivot or change 857 00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:51.599 directions if it makes sense. I think the fans are 858 00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:53.639 ready to embrace a heel Bianca. I don't know if 859 00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:57.639 WWI and Triple H are ready to embrace a heel Beyanca. 860 00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:00.119 If they are, I think it's great. I'm here for 861 00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:03.679 But there's a lot of different ways this could go, 862 00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:06.559 which I like. I like the fact that this could 863 00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:09.760 go three or four different ways and we're not quite 864 00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:13.079 sure which way they're gonna go. But if that's the direction, 865 00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:17.280 I'm totally fine with that. And Ray Phoenix was shown 866 00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:20.159 in the back when Chad Gable and the Creeds walked 867 00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:22.039 up and made fun of him for losing the battle. 868 00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:25.599 Royal Dragon ly walked in and told Gable to shut up. 869 00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:30.719 Ray Masterio showed up and told El Goaddonde Gable that 870 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:33.440 he's going to learn some real luta libre at WrestleMania, 871 00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:36.280 and Mysterio then challenge Gable and the Creeds to a 872 00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:42.039 six man tag later in the show. Unfortunately, See had 873 00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:46.320 this match not been made. Had this match not been made, 874 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:48.760 that we wouldn't be sitting here talking about a possible 875 00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:52.239 injury right now. But unfortunately, I mean the look, that's 876 00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:55.400 the nature of the beast Men. It just sucks that 877 00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:57.519 it had to work out the way that it did 878 00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:00.480 later in the show, which again we will get too. 879 00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:03.039 Actually you know it before I get to it. Let 880 00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:06.559 me check real quick and see if there is any update. 881 00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:12.079 Uh nothing yet.

I like the rope of Vieha 903 00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:18.280 chicken thigh bowl. If it has chicken, chances are I'm 904 00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:21.400 gonna like it. But this was really good. There was 905 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:25.559 a spicy sweet potatoes and peanut sauce meal with coconut 906 00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:28.119 rice and roasted green beans that was also very good. 907 00:50:28.119 --> 00:50:31.639 But my favorite this was My dinner on Thursday was 908 00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:36.920 the sesame teriaki filet mignon. Oh my, oh my, friggin' amazing. 909 00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:39.760 And again they only take minutes to make. It's not 910 00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:42.000 gonna take you an hour before you even sit down 911 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:44.199 to take your first bite. And that's good for me 912 00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:47.519 because I'm streaming on most nights. As you know, there's 913 00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:49.840 wrestling damn near every night of the week at this point, 914 00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:52.719 so I don't want to spend forever eating dinner before 915 00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:55.159 I have to work.

We have the Street Profits defending the 924 00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:29.760 WWE Tag Team Championships against the MotorCity machine Guns. So 925 00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:32.400 this was not saved for WrestleMania. They announced they were 926 00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:35.119 doing this tonight, so they send these two teams out there. 927 00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:38.639 The machine Guns they jumpstart the match right away as 928 00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:42.599 the Profits were posing during their entrance. They come back 929 00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:45.360 after a break, Alex Shelley tags and Chris Saban, who 930 00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:49.280 fires up. He takes out both Street Profits. Saban missed 931 00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:52.920 the missile dropkick to montes Ford, Shelley tagged in and 932 00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:55.000 he worked a pair of double team moves, including a 933 00:51:55.079 --> 00:52:00.000 dropkickflatliner combo. Shelley goes to the top and Angela Dawkins 934 00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:02.280 breaks things up. Ford then hits a super kick on 935 00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:06.639 Saban and he landed the He says that running dive 936 00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:11.119 where he jumps over the ring post, so he takes 937 00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:15.360 everybody out. Diy shows up at ringside. I think they 938 00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:19.079 came out of the crowd, and they interfere and the 939 00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:21.199 referee calls for the bell, so we end up with 940 00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:24.559 a no contest here. Garganto and Champa then grab the 941 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:28.039 tag team titles and they steal them. They make off 942 00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:32.239 with them all the way to the back. As far 943 00:52:32.239 --> 00:52:35.280 as the match, the action was fine. The finish sucked. Okay, 944 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:38.880 the finish was really bad, really bad. But we weren't 945 00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:41.480 done yet because in the back later nick All just 946 00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:44.599 tells Di why give me the belts, and they don't 947 00:52:44.599 --> 00:52:46.599 want to give him up, and he's like, give the 948 00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:49.559 belts back, so they hand the belts over to him. 949 00:52:49.719 --> 00:52:52.119 Now the street profits come in. They're pissed off. The 950 00:52:52.159 --> 00:52:54.360 machine guns come in. They're pissed off. They're all yelling 951 00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:56.119 and screaming at each other, and all this is in 952 00:52:56.159 --> 00:53:00.119 between them, and all this makes the announcement that they're 953 00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:03.159 going to have a TLC match for the tag team 954 00:53:03.239 --> 00:53:06.519 titles with the Street Profits and the Machine Guns and 955 00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:11.800 DIY next week. And as soon as he said next week, 956 00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:15.280 like you could hear the booze from inside the eriitise 957 00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:20.480 people were not happy. Why when he mentioned TLC they 958 00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:22.760 kind of gave it a little bit of a pop there. 959 00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:27.119 But this match is taking place not at WrestleMania, not 960 00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:29.800 even on the pre show. And I know people would 961 00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:31.840 bitch that, oh it's on the pre show, but you 962 00:53:31.880 --> 00:53:34.679 know they would still be wrestling in front of I mean, 963 00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:37.119 people still might be entering the building, but you'll have 964 00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:39.599 fifty thousand plus each night in the building. You got 965 00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:43.719 six hours of pre show material on Saturday and Sunday. 966 00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:47.159 They're doing the match next Friday on SmackDown. And I 967 00:53:47.199 --> 00:53:53.679 am absolutely baffled. I'm baffled by the decision to have 968 00:53:54.119 --> 00:53:57.280 the New Day and the War Raiders for the World 969 00:53:57.320 --> 00:54:01.440 Tag team titles on the WrestleMania card and keep this 970 00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:07.159 match on television after WrestleMania simply because the WWE tag 971 00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:10.440 team titles on SmackDown. Whatever you want to say about 972 00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:14.760 the division and the constant back and forth with the 973 00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:16.920 same teams. Cause has been going on now for months. 974 00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:19.840 But you have this back and forth now for several 975 00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:23.320 months with the Street Profits and the machine Guns and 976 00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:27.400 DIY and pretty deadly. Okay, who wasn't even involved in 977 00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.400 any of this. They were in the Battle Royal, but 978 00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:32.320 they had their shot on TV a few weeks ago 979 00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:36.280 in London, I think it was. But they've actually been 980 00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:40.880 investing time in this story, involving these titles in these 981 00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:45.079 teams now for months on television. There's actual activity going 982 00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:48.760 on in the SmackDown Tag Team division. What has been 983 00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:53.400 going on with the raw tag team titles on Monday Night? Nothing? 984 00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:58.000 It's a dead division. There's been nothing going on. They 985 00:54:58.000 --> 00:54:59.519 did a match with a New Day in the War 986 00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:01.880 Raiders on TV last week that went a few minutes. 987 00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:04.079 It had a shitty DQ finish and was cold as 988 00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:07.840 fuck because nobody cares because they've cooled off the New Day. 989 00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:09.920 I mean, look, I love the New Day, I love 990 00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:13.480 Heel New Day, but they fucked up. They dropped the 991 00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:16.000 ball with these guys. These guys had nuclear heat. They 992 00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:18.440 can melt an entire fucking city with the heat that 993 00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:20.840 these guys had. After the Heel turn in November or 994 00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:25.679 December rather, and they fucked it up. Triple Eh fucked 995 00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:28.599 it all up. So now they feel like just another 996 00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:33.360 team and they're getting a tag team title match at WrestleMania. Okay, great, 997 00:55:33.599 --> 00:55:36.079 and I'm sure it'll be a good match, but you're 998 00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:39.079 sending a match cold into WrestleMania for those titles. But 999 00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:41.840 these guys don't get a spot on a TLC match, 1000 00:55:41.880 --> 00:55:44.320 no less. And this is on smacked. I just I 1001 00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:47.960 don't understand that maybe the finish of the World title 1002 00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:50.159 match between the New Day and the war Raiders, when 1003 00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:52.920 we see it, will make sense, and then in the 1004 00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:54.800 big picture, this will all make sense. But as I 1005 00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:58.280 sit here right now and that matches on the WrestleMania 1006 00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:00.000 card and this one isn't, that doesn't make any sense 1007 00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:04.519 to me whatsoever. Either have both one on one night, 1008 00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.199 one on the other, or if you could only have one, 1009 00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:09.760 this would be the one that would have made sense. 1010 00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:13.719 So I don't understand that decision at all. And I 1011 00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:16.360 don't understand. Also, the way they've cooled off the New Day, 1012 00:56:17.320 --> 00:56:19.880 I really don't and I don't want to hear people 1013 00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:22.559 defending it either. There is no defense for it. They 1014 00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:26.760 had a hot act on that show and they fucked 1015 00:56:26.800 --> 00:56:34.280 it up. Randy Orton, he was out to the ring next, 1016 00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:39.360 still has no opponent for WrestleMania. He reminded every one 1017 00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:42.079 of this fact. When he came out. Orton said that 1018 00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:45.039 he's been around town all week long, and he said 1019 00:56:45.039 --> 00:56:48.800 that there is an excitement about WrestleMania like never before. 1020 00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:53.079 That's a lie. Orton referenced his father being in the 1021 00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:55.719 first WrestleMania. He said there's no way in hell that 1022 00:56:55.760 --> 00:56:59.000 he would sit out this year's show. Noting how this 1023 00:56:59.039 --> 00:57:02.159 would be the dth time that he would be competing 1024 00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:05.519 at WrestleMania, Orton said he will show up on Sunday 1025 00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:09.639 boots tied baby oil on his skin, and he will 1026 00:57:09.679 --> 00:57:12.519 be ready to deliver for the WWE universe. He said 1027 00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:14.000 he will do it for the fans, he will do 1028 00:57:14.039 --> 00:57:16.320 it for himself, and he will do it for the 1029 00:57:16.360 --> 00:57:20.159 boys in the back. And speaking of the boys in 1030 00:57:20.199 --> 00:57:23.079 the back, he said, if everyone or anyone I should say, 1031 00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:25.679 wants to test their metal, he dares them to step up. 1032 00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:27.800 He looked out into the crowd and said, if there's 1033 00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:30.480 anybody on the strip who owns a pair of wrestling 1034 00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:34.360 Boots who wants to step up, go ahead and do so. 1035 00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:37.119 He said, whoever it is will fall victim to the 1036 00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:40.880 three most dangerous letters in all of pro wrestling. R 1037 00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:46.320 k oh good fire from Orton here, who made it 1038 00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:49.239 a point to mention that it will be Sunday. His 1039 00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:52.360 match will be Sunday, which I figured it would be 1040 00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:55.039 because we have seven matches tomorrow. We only have six 1041 00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:57.199 on Sunday, so of course you want to have an 1042 00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.559 even seven and seven fourteen matches total. So whatever his 1043 00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:02.559 match ends up being, that's going to be on WrestleMania 1044 00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:06.159 Night too. They're doing the open challenge gimmick, which, honestly, 1045 00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:08.599 at this point, I mean we're twenty four hours out 1046 00:58:08.599 --> 00:58:12.159 from this show this weekend, forty eight hours from what 1047 00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:14.559 would be his match, you may as well just wait. 1048 00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:18.159 I mean seriously, you may as well just wait. It's 1049 00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:20.199 like the Seth Rollins thing a few years ago with 1050 00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:24.360 Cody Rhodes. He had no opponent. Now that wasn't an 1051 00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:26.840 open challenge. Vince McMahon had already had a hand picked 1052 00:58:26.840 --> 00:58:29.760 opponent for him. He just wasn't willing to tell Seth 1053 00:58:29.800 --> 00:58:32.159 who that was going to be until WrestleMania but it's 1054 00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:34.679 the same basic concept here, and so as long as 1055 00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:36.079 you have a name that you know is going to 1056 00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:41.239 get a reaction, whoever that is probably somebody who's debuting 1057 00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:43.400 or returning to the company. You may as well just 1058 00:58:43.440 --> 00:58:45.840 wait and make it a surprise and make it some 1059 00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:49.639 big mystery men announcement and just wait for the show. 1060 00:58:49.679 --> 00:58:52.480 But it's got to be someone good. It's got to 1061 00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:54.960 be somebody good or somebody who's coming back and making 1062 00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:58.880 a return to the company. Otherwise, if let's say Shamus 1063 00:58:59.159 --> 00:59:02.639 walks out there, or anybody else who doesn't have a 1064 00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.599 match of WrestleMania and could reasonably be viewed as an 1065 00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:09.280 opponent for Randy Orton, you look at someone like that, 1066 00:59:10.039 --> 00:59:11.639 it's like, yeah, I mean, I'm sure the two of 1067 00:59:11.639 --> 00:59:13.519 them could go out there and have a kick ass match, 1068 00:59:13.639 --> 00:59:16.559 But like, you may as well just announce it. You 1069 00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:20.079 know why even bother waiting and keeping it a mystery 1070 00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:22.679 unless there's a reason you know that you're doing that. 1071 00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:25.599 It's not going to be nick All this. If it 1072 00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:27.159 was going to be nick All This, then they would 1073 00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:30.320 have announced that already. It's not gonna be nick All This. 1074 00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:33.840 There were no hints at all on this show tonight, 1075 00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:37.280 that that would be the direction. Solo Soka was heavily 1076 00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:41.000 teased last week. Did not at all get the vibe 1077 00:59:41.000 --> 00:59:43.039 that it's going to be him, thankfully, because that's just 1078 00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:45.800 that's not the WrestleMania match I want to see. So 1079 00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:48.599 it's not going to be solo Sokoa. I'm thinking it's 1080 00:59:48.599 --> 00:59:53.119 going to be Russev. We know Russev is back. How 1081 00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:56.199 do we know this big e the other day just 1082 00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:59.280 whether he let it slip by accident or he did 1083 00:59:59.360 --> 01:00:02.920 what he was doing the other day he said, yeah, 1084 01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:07.320 he's back. He announced it himself and we already knew this, 1085 01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:09.760 but like that was the first time somebody publicly came 1086 01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:12.440 out and actually set it. But yes, he was spotted 1087 01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:15.360 at anyway WWE headquarters last week. He was taking part in 1088 01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:19.079 a photo shoot for those of you who don't know. So, Russev, Miro, 1089 01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:21.639 whatever you want to call him, he is back in WWI. 1090 01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:24.320 It is just a matter of when does he return, 1091 01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:27.840 when do we actually see him. Kevin Owens went down 1092 01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:31.320 with this terrible injury. It sucks and I feel bad 1093 01:00:31.400 --> 01:00:34.000 for him right. Never a good time to get hurt 1094 01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:36.719 with a major neck injury. No less but to miss 1095 01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:38.239 what I know for him was going to be this 1096 01:00:38.320 --> 01:00:42.199 huge WrestleMania match against Randy Orton. It's a shitty situation. Okay, 1097 01:00:42.239 --> 01:00:45.840 well we need a plan B. Whoever the plan B is, 1098 01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:48.679 it's not going to be some long term story. Randy 1099 01:00:48.800 --> 01:00:52.079 Orton sat out for four months selling a neck injury 1100 01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:55.320 to come back and have this payoff with Kevin Owens, 1101 01:00:55.360 --> 01:00:58.440 and now we're not getting it. There was months of 1102 01:00:58.559 --> 01:01:03.719 story there, all thrown away nobody's fault, but it's gone. 1103 01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:05.960 So whoever ends up in this match, there ain't gonna 1104 01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:09.159 be a story. This is no longer about story. This 1105 01:01:09.280 --> 01:01:12.559 is about what makes sense and who makes sense in 1106 01:01:12.599 --> 01:01:16.679 this spot, and if it's me, I don't want someone 1107 01:01:16.760 --> 01:01:19.199 like Alistair Black, who we also know is coming back. 1108 01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:22.480 I don't want someone like Alistair Black out there in 1109 01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:27.000 his return match to go out there and lose in 1110 01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:31.679 his first match back. Same thing with Russev. People might say, well, 1111 01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:33.639 you want him to lose now. I don't want him 1112 01:01:33.679 --> 01:01:36.719 to lose either, But honestly, he's gonna end up. I 1113 01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:38.679 don't know if ultimately he'll be a face for a Heal. 1114 01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:41.519 My guess would be he'll be a heel. Can't be sure, 1115 01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:44.360 right russev Day was very popular. Maybe he'll be a babyface. 1116 01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:48.480 But whatever he ends up being, he's not going to 1117 01:01:48.519 --> 01:01:50.920 be a main event level guy, not out of the gate. 1118 01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:54.559 So if he goes in there and he loses in 1119 01:01:54.599 --> 01:01:56.800 a competitive match to Randy Orton, I don't see that 1120 01:01:56.840 --> 01:01:58.480 as being as big of a deal as someone like 1121 01:01:58.519 --> 01:02:01.519 Alistair Black going out there, who I think absolutely could 1122 01:02:01.559 --> 01:02:05.000 be a top guy on SmackDown, and him losing to 1123 01:02:05.119 --> 01:02:09.920 Randy Orton. That I think is completely counterproductive in WWE 1124 01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:12.440 right now. By the way, I should point out, they've 1125 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:14.199 had a lot of guys come in. Ray Phoenix has 1126 01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:16.960 come in, Penta has come in, Ricky Starks is in NXT, 1127 01:02:17.519 --> 01:02:21.199 Alistair Black is coming back, Miro is coming back. It's 1128 01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:25.400 like you have It's like this, this whole group. You 1129 01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:27.920 can create a whole faction out of just these people 1130 01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:31.920 that are coming in from aw to WWE. It's okay 1131 01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:33.360 to take one of them. And if they go in 1132 01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:35.960 there and lose a WrestleMania match to Randy Orton, believe me, 1133 01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:38.519 they're not buried. It's not the end of their career. 1134 01:02:38.559 --> 01:02:41.039 It's not the end of the fucking world. I'd much 1135 01:02:41.119 --> 01:02:43.719 rather have him in this situation than throwing Alistair Black 1136 01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:46.000 out there. And by the way, they aired another vignette 1137 01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:48.920 tonight that with the smoky They should have thrown the 1138 01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:52.760 smoky background and everything. And this time we got a date. 1139 01:02:53.159 --> 01:02:57.039 It says April twenty fifth, So now we know Alistair 1140 01:02:57.039 --> 01:03:00.840 Black will be back on SmackDown next Friday. So it's 1141 01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:03.159 not gonna be him. So who else is it going 1142 01:03:03.239 --> 01:03:08.880 to be? People throwing out names like fucking Goldberg, dude, 1143 01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:11.760 Kevin Owens got hurt. Whoever it's gonna be. They had 1144 01:03:11.760 --> 01:03:13.559 to come up with a plan beyond like two weeks. 1145 01:03:13.559 --> 01:03:16.400 Notice Goldberg, he just had I think he went to 1146 01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:19.920 Colombia to have stem cell injections. His shoulders all fucked up, 1147 01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:23.280 he just started a training camp. He's fifty thousand years old. 1148 01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:26.559 It's not gonna be Goldberg. Okay, Gouldberg will not be 1149 01:03:26.599 --> 01:03:29.360 at WrestleMania in a match, so it's not gonna be him. 1150 01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:31.559 People throwing at other names I see even in the 1151 01:03:31.639 --> 01:03:34.239 chat here, Sammy's ain, Sammy's ain is not gonna be 1152 01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:37.559 at WrestleMania. What sense would that make for sammy' z 1153 01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:40.199 ay to wrestle Randy Orton of all people at WrestleMania. 1154 01:03:40.719 --> 01:03:44.320 Sammy's ain is not at WRESTLEMANI and some of the 1155 01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:46.480 other names people have thrown at have also just made 1156 01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:49.039 me shake my head. Russev is the one to be 1157 01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:52.320 who makes sense, who I could actually see being in 1158 01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:55.639 this spot. We want somebody out there that'll get a reaction. 1159 01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:58.079 People will be happy to see him back. He's been 1160 01:03:58.119 --> 01:04:00.599 missing for all these years, and he can go in 1161 01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:02.440 there and lose, and it's not the end of the world. 1162 01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:05.639 Because Randy Orton should not be losing a WrestleMania. He's 1163 01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:08.079 going to have a big match at Backlash next month. 1164 01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:11.280 Why would he go in there at WrestleMania and lose. 1165 01:04:12.639 --> 01:04:14.360 I think it's gonna be Russive. I think it's gonna 1166 01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:18.360 be russe V Day on Sunday at WrestleMania. That's what 1167 01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:19.880 I think. But you got to go with somebody the 1168 01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:23.639 audience knows, Jeff Cobb. Thank you. I'm glad you mentioned 1169 01:04:23.639 --> 01:04:29.679 that nobody in WWE Land is going to know who 1170 01:04:29.719 --> 01:04:32.480 Jeff Cobb is. The smart fans will know, and you 1171 01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:34.639 do have smart fans who come in for WrestleMania. So 1172 01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:39.199 I shouldn't say he would get crickets. But the WWE audience, 1173 01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:42.440 by in large, they don't know who he is. Him 1174 01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:44.639 coming out there in that spot, I just I don't 1175 01:04:44.679 --> 01:04:48.400 see I don't see that getting such a major reaction 1176 01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:52.280 that you're gonna get a return on that payoff. Right. 1177 01:04:52.599 --> 01:04:54.960 It's very important when you do a gimmick like this, 1178 01:04:55.599 --> 01:04:58.679 the mystery Man Open Challenge gimmick, there has to be 1179 01:04:58.719 --> 01:05:01.559 some familiarity with the I don't think their audience is 1180 01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:03.320 going to be all that familiar with who he is. 1181 01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:09.920 He's never been in WWE before Russev. They know he'll 1182 01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:11.599 get a reaction when he come. Maybe he'll ride a 1183 01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:17.400 fucking tank to the ring. But Jeff Cobb is wrestling 1184 01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:20.840 his final match actually in about two hours three hours 1185 01:05:21.280 --> 01:05:26.440 against Hiroshi Tanahashi. He could technically make it in time 1186 01:05:26.480 --> 01:05:30.039 for the show on Sunday, so it could be him. 1187 01:05:31.119 --> 01:05:33.800 Do I think it's going to be him? No, And 1188 01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:35.840 I honestly don't think that would be a great spot 1189 01:05:35.840 --> 01:05:37.960 for him to go in And he's another one where 1190 01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:41.519 him going in there and losing. I don't want to 1191 01:05:41.519 --> 01:05:44.639 see him lose. I'd rather see Russev go in there 1192 01:05:44.639 --> 01:05:47.360 and lose and he can take that loss. Jeff Cobb 1193 01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:49.679 would be brand new. A lot of people wouldn't know 1194 01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:52.440 who he is. I don't think sending someone like him 1195 01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:55.760 in there and losing is a great idea. So I'm 1196 01:05:55.760 --> 01:06:04.559 gonna say no on that. Joe Hendry, well, I mean, look, 1197 01:06:04.679 --> 01:06:07.280 the TNA World Heavyweight Champion getting a wrestle media match 1198 01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:09.559 against Randy Orton would be a pretty big fucking deal, 1199 01:06:09.960 --> 01:06:13.679 especially for him. Uh yeah, I mean, I can't rule 1200 01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:18.679 it out. It's possible. I'm still gonna say. Russep though, 1201 01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:25.199 Daddy Yugarte says Joe Henry is champion and can't live. 1202 01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:29.199 Joe Henry is championed and can't lose, he says. So 1203 01:06:29.320 --> 01:06:33.000 you think, dude, they wanted him Supposedly, they wanted him 1204 01:06:33.039 --> 01:06:37.159 to come into work a program with the mizz Give 1205 01:06:37.199 --> 01:06:40.360 me a break. Come on, he can't lose. You don't 1206 01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:45.039 think WWE would hesitate to bring him in and have 1207 01:06:45.159 --> 01:06:48.760 him lose. You don't know who you're dealing with here. 1208 01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:50.639 You think they give a shit, They don't give a shit. 1209 01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:58.239 Be careful what you wish for. Isn't he injured? I 1210 01:06:58.480 --> 01:07:03.119 thought that was a storyline injury in TNA for him anyway, 1211 01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:08.360 let's move on footage aired. There was a brawl earlier 1212 01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:11.880 today at the WrestleMania kickoff with Drew McIntyre and Damian 1213 01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:14.599 Priest who were having a Sin City street fight this weekend. 1214 01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:18.559 So Byron Saxon interviewed Priest in the back and Priest 1215 01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:22.000 cut Saxton off. He said, look, he wants to send 1216 01:07:22.039 --> 01:07:25.039 a message to McIntyre. He said, McIntyre isn't a victim, 1217 01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:28.199 not yet. Priest said Drew isn't ready for their fight 1218 01:07:28.239 --> 01:07:30.639 this weekend. He's going to beat Drew so bad he'll 1219 01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:36.800 wish he was future endeavored again. Oh man, Yeah, there 1220 01:07:36.840 --> 01:07:39.199 was no Drew McIntyre on this show. This was the 1221 01:07:39.199 --> 01:07:43.960 only promo he got from either one of them. After 1222 01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:47.440 last week's botched count out finish, they ran back the 1223 01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:50.079 match between Chelsea Green and Zelina Vega. This was not 1224 01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:54.760 for the United States Championship. The action spilled outside. Green 1225 01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:58.480 sent Vega into the barricade and then she scolded Charles 1226 01:07:58.559 --> 01:08:02.360 Robinson for counting her out the last time, even though 1227 01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:05.840 Charles Robinson was not the referee for that match. That 1228 01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:10.559 was Ryan Tran. Green ran at Vega. Vega back dropped 1229 01:08:10.599 --> 01:08:14.559 her over the barricade into the timekeeper's area, so they 1230 01:08:14.639 --> 01:08:17.239 nearly missed the ten count again. They were playing off 1231 01:08:17.279 --> 01:08:19.479 what happened last week. They rolled into the ring at 1232 01:08:19.520 --> 01:08:22.600 the same time to break the count. Vega set up 1233 01:08:22.600 --> 01:08:24.319 for a six to one to nine. Vega, though, ran 1234 01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:27.359 into a kick instead and Chelsea plays Vega on the 1235 01:08:27.399 --> 01:08:30.840 top rope. Vega fought back, turned it into a super 1236 01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:35.199 code red from the top rope, and she pinned the champion. 1237 01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:39.800 Of course, it was non title, but that should now 1238 01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:43.560 earn her a shot at the United States Championship. You know, 1239 01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:46.920 at least Lyra Valkyria found her way onto the WrestleMania card. 1240 01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:50.239 She's not defending her intercontinental title, but she is on 1241 01:08:50.239 --> 01:08:53.880 the WrestleMania card. We cannot say the same for Chelsea Green. 1242 01:08:54.199 --> 01:08:56.239 The best that Chelsea Green could hope for at this 1243 01:08:56.319 --> 01:09:00.600 point is a skit on the show. But right now 1244 01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:05.840 she is not scheduled for WrestleMania at all. But the 1245 01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:08.399 other United States champion is That would be La Night. 1246 01:09:09.079 --> 01:09:11.119 He had a match on this show against Solo Socoa, 1247 01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:13.720 but first he had a promo and he said the 1248 01:09:13.800 --> 01:09:16.840 Jacob Fatu, Solo Soca and Tomatonga They like to use 1249 01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:19.520 the numbers advantage, which is why he took out Tomatoga 1250 01:09:19.520 --> 01:09:21.640 at the beginning of the show. And he's going to 1251 01:09:21.680 --> 01:09:23.960 take out Solo so that when he gets in the 1252 01:09:24.039 --> 01:09:27.560 ring with Jacob, it'll be one on one, no distractions, 1253 01:09:28.119 --> 01:09:32.039 no interference, It'll be a fair fight. He said, he 1254 01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:34.600 knows that Fatu is a force, but Fatu has never 1255 01:09:34.640 --> 01:09:38.399 seen anything like him. And he said, someday somewhere, Fatu 1256 01:09:38.439 --> 01:09:41.439 will be a champion in WWE. But at WrestleMania, fa 1257 01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:47.319 Tu will eat a BFT. I almost said BLT. He 1258 01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:50.920 might eat a BLT a a BFT in that match 1259 01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:55.439 courtesy of the megastar. That would be kind of funny. Actually, 1260 01:09:55.439 --> 01:09:58.359 if Jacob Fatwu is very first WrestleMania, he just comes 1261 01:09:58.359 --> 01:10:00.119 to the ring and just he has like a a 1262 01:10:00.159 --> 01:10:03.399 wrap sandwich and just starts eating a BLT in the 1263 01:10:03.439 --> 01:10:06.159 middle of the ring, I think he would still get cheered. 1264 01:10:06.760 --> 01:10:10.119 The people would still cheer for him. They like this 1265 01:10:10.199 --> 01:10:15.079 guy who they don't like is Solo Socoa. He came out, 1266 01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:17.119 Knight didn't even wait for him to get to the ring. 1267 01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:19.239 He left the ring. He met him in the isleway 1268 01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:23.439 and the fight was on so they wrestle for a 1269 01:10:23.439 --> 01:10:25.439 little bit. They went to commercial, the show came back, 1270 01:10:25.640 --> 01:10:29.439 Solo was working overnight on the outside. Night came back 1271 01:10:29.439 --> 01:10:31.880 with a DDT. He went to the second rope when 1272 01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:35.720 all of a sudden, Jacob Fatu shows up out of 1273 01:10:35.760 --> 01:10:37.960 nowhere and he trips him up on the second rope 1274 01:10:38.560 --> 01:10:45.199 and the referee calls for the disqualification. Braun Stroman's music hits. 1275 01:10:46.199 --> 01:10:50.079 He's not gonna stand for this. He lumbers on down 1276 01:10:50.119 --> 01:10:53.279 to the ring, takes out both Sokoa and Fatu with 1277 01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:56.840 a running crossbody. Knight and Stroman clear the ring and 1278 01:10:56.920 --> 01:10:59.600 then Nick all This walks out and ge I wonder 1279 01:10:59.640 --> 01:11:02.079 why he here, and Nick Alda says, why don't we 1280 01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:04.920 have a tag team match. It'll be La Knight and 1281 01:11:05.000 --> 01:11:11.760 Braunz Stroman against Solo Socoa and Jacob Fatu. Lazy shit. 1282 01:11:13.359 --> 01:11:15.840 So the match started during a picture in picture break, 1283 01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:18.640 Fa Twu was working over Stroman as the show came back. 1284 01:11:19.680 --> 01:11:21.840 We did, by the way, I'd be remiss if I 1285 01:11:21.840 --> 01:11:23.920 didn't mention this. We did, in fact during this match 1286 01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:30.920 get the Stroman Express. Yes, we got the Stroman Express 1287 01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:34.680 mode down. Solo Socoa on one side of the ring 1288 01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:39.359 mode down Fa Tu on the other and blessed that man. 1289 01:11:39.439 --> 01:11:43.039 He took this great bump into the steel steps. Then 1290 01:11:43.119 --> 01:11:45.720 later on Stroman disposed the fa tow. He went for 1291 01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:48.479 another train ride, but this time Fa Tu side stepped 1292 01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:51.720 him and he sent Stroman flying over the announced desk. 1293 01:11:53.239 --> 01:11:56.399 La Knight connected with a diving basement dropkick that sent 1294 01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:59.359 Fa Tu on top of the announced desk. He was 1295 01:11:59.439 --> 01:12:04.439 laying there on his belly on the desk. Night gets 1296 01:12:04.439 --> 01:12:07.239 back into the ring. Solo missed a Simo and spike attempt, 1297 01:12:07.239 --> 01:12:12.000 but he ate a BFT not a BLT, and he 1298 01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:16.760 covered Solo for the one two three. Yeah, I think 1299 01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:20.520 we could safely forget about Solo Socoa being a Randy 1300 01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:25.279 Orton opponent at WrestleMania. I feel pretty content and confident, 1301 01:12:25.359 --> 01:12:26.880 i should say, and saying that it will not be 1302 01:12:26.920 --> 01:12:31.039 Solo Soca wrestling Randy Orton in WrestleMania. As far as 1303 01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:33.119 the match look, it was a way to get these 1304 01:12:33.159 --> 01:12:35.920 guys on the show to tell the story about La 1305 01:12:36.039 --> 01:12:38.439 Knight trying to take out each member of the Bloodline 1306 01:12:39.119 --> 01:12:40.800 so that he can get a fair fight with Jacob 1307 01:12:40.800 --> 01:12:44.720 Fatu at WrestleMania. But honestly, what this felt like. It 1308 01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:47.319 just felt like time filler more than anything else, which 1309 01:12:47.359 --> 01:12:50.560 honestly is what this was. I mean, they were trying 1310 01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:53.640 to fill time, but that's really what it felt like. 1311 01:12:55.319 --> 01:12:58.640 Then we were treated to footage of Wade Barrett sit 1312 01:12:58.720 --> 01:13:01.640 down interview with Tiffin and this was earlier today, so 1313 01:13:01.680 --> 01:13:04.319 we got a snippet of his interview from earlier in 1314 01:13:04.359 --> 01:13:08.079 the week with Charlotte Flair the Challenger. Now he was 1315 01:13:08.119 --> 01:13:12.760 sitting down with the Champion and he asked her about 1316 01:13:12.760 --> 01:13:15.439 the awkward in ring segment between the two of them 1317 01:13:15.439 --> 01:13:18.720 in Chicago a few weeks ago, which he said went 1318 01:13:18.760 --> 01:13:21.239 off the rails. I said it went off the rails 1319 01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:24.119 that night, but he said it went off the rails. 1320 01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:27.039 I wanted to do some rails when that match was over. 1321 01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:30.279 So Tiffany said, over the last few weeks she felt 1322 01:13:30.279 --> 01:13:34.560 bullied and taken advantage of. So they made a choice 1323 01:13:34.560 --> 01:13:39.079 here to have the WWE Women's Champion in this interview 1324 01:13:40.319 --> 01:13:45.119 talk about how she was bullied by the Challenger. She 1325 01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:48.119 was referring to the split screen interview several weeks ago 1326 01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:51.319 where she really did not have a good night, and 1327 01:13:51.399 --> 01:13:53.600 so here she's talking about how she was bullied and 1328 01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:57.760 taking advantage of. She had a moment during that split 1329 01:13:57.840 --> 01:14:01.520 screen of insane discouragement that made her feel like she 1330 01:14:01.600 --> 01:14:04.119 wasn't cut out for this, but she used it as motivation, 1331 01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:07.119 and she did her research to make sure that the 1332 01:14:07.159 --> 01:14:10.319 next time she would come prepared. And so when they 1333 01:14:10.319 --> 01:14:12.199 had their face to face in the middle of the ring, 1334 01:14:12.479 --> 01:14:15.600 she came at Charlotte with a kill shot, and she 1335 01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:18.560 played Charlotte at her own game. She gave her a 1336 01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:22.640 taste of her own medicine. Charlotte doesn't have to like her, 1337 01:14:22.680 --> 01:14:27.039 but she damn sure has to respect her. Now, Wade says, 1338 01:14:27.079 --> 01:14:29.720 this feels like a must win match for both these women. 1339 01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:34.640 But what happens if Tiffy Time ends at WrestleMania and 1340 01:14:34.720 --> 01:14:36.760 she said that's not gonna happen. She knows it's going 1341 01:14:36.840 --> 01:14:39.239 to be a fight. She's going to channel that discouragement 1342 01:14:39.279 --> 01:14:42.800 that she felt and turn it into motivation. She's standing 1343 01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:46.520 up to a bully. She's walking in as the champion, 1344 01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:51.760 and she is walking out of WrestleMania as the champion. 1345 01:14:54.000 --> 01:14:56.039 Neither of these sit downs, And again, I haven't seen 1346 01:14:56.079 --> 01:14:58.600 the full thing yet. I'm just going by the clips 1347 01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:01.920 that they showed here. Neither of these sit downs did 1348 01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:05.039 anything for me anyway to get more excited for this 1349 01:15:05.079 --> 01:15:08.159 match of WrestleMania. I just want them to go out 1350 01:15:08.159 --> 01:15:11.319 there and have a great match. That's it. All this 1351 01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:16.279 awkward stuff, and you know, Charlotte's bullying me. It's just 1352 01:15:16.920 --> 01:15:18.760 I don't know, you got the champion going out there, 1353 01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:23.079 the defending champion going into WrestleMania, you know. And I 1354 01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:25.720 know they're portraying her as the rookie, and she is 1355 01:15:26.520 --> 01:15:28.600 she is. I mean, Charlotte's been doing this now for 1356 01:15:28.640 --> 01:15:32.920 over a decade. For Tiffany, this is her first big match. 1357 01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:35.119 Does she even have a match of WrestleMania last year, 1358 01:15:35.119 --> 01:15:36.920 I don't know if she did. This might be her 1359 01:15:36.920 --> 01:15:40.720 first WrestleMania match, and she's going in as the champion 1360 01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:43.039 if she's only twenty five years old. All of this 1361 01:15:43.079 --> 01:15:46.039 is true, but it's just weird, you know, her sitting 1362 01:15:46.039 --> 01:15:49.600 there going, oh, I was bullied. I was bullied, and 1363 01:15:49.640 --> 01:15:52.640 I was taking advantage of Its just it's a weird 1364 01:15:52.800 --> 01:15:56.239 tact to take for this title match. I don't know 1365 01:15:56.279 --> 01:15:58.600 that it really works for me. It might work for 1366 01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:02.560 some people. I don't really I just don't care. About 1367 01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:04.039 a lot of the stuff they've done with these two 1368 01:16:04.079 --> 01:16:06.319 so far. I think, if anything, it's actually made me 1369 01:16:06.439 --> 01:16:09.479 less interested in seeing the match. But I'm hopeful the 1370 01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:12.399 match itself will end up being hopefully a very good match. 1371 01:16:12.439 --> 01:16:14.239 That's all I can hope for at this point. I 1372 01:16:14.279 --> 01:16:16.760 just want them to go out there. I want them 1373 01:16:16.800 --> 01:16:19.720 to not only have a very good match, but I 1374 01:16:19.840 --> 01:16:24.119 want Tiffany Stratton to come out of this looking like 1375 01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:27.079 someone who belongs. I want her to come out of 1376 01:16:27.119 --> 01:16:30.000 this looking better than she did going into it, because 1377 01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:32.840 she is someone who is still very new to this, 1378 01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:38.039 especially on the main roster, and somebody who I'm sure 1379 01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:39.880 they look at her the same way, who is going 1380 01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:42.680 to be in the position that Charlotte Flair is in 1381 01:16:42.720 --> 01:16:45.359 ten years from now. You know, that's where they want 1382 01:16:45.399 --> 01:16:48.079 her to be. She needs to go out there and 1383 01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:50.479 have a great showing at WRESTLEMANI even if she loses. 1384 01:16:51.159 --> 01:16:54.520 So that's all I'm hoping for. Despite all the awkwardness 1385 01:16:54.600 --> 01:16:56.520 and all the drama and everything we've had and how 1386 01:16:56.600 --> 01:16:58.039 much of it is a shoot and how much of 1387 01:16:58.079 --> 01:17:00.359 it is a work, I don't give a shit at 1388 01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:02.039 this point. I just want them to go out there 1389 01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:06.640 and have a kick ass match. That's it. I have 1390 01:17:06.680 --> 01:17:11.800 the best move set. Hey King Dad, thank you again. 1391 01:17:13.359 --> 01:17:20.960 You're awesome. Raymistereo, Dragon Lee, and Ray Phoenix. So Ray 1392 01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:23.159 Phoenix pulling double duty tonight because he was in the 1393 01:17:23.159 --> 01:17:25.880 Battle Royal as well, taking on Chad Gable and the 1394 01:17:25.880 --> 01:17:29.760 Creed brother. I guess, I guess they're all playing playing 1395 01:17:29.760 --> 01:17:32.399 double duty. Did not except Raymysterio because everybody in this 1396 01:17:32.479 --> 01:17:34.880 match was also in the Battle Royal. But we had 1397 01:17:34.880 --> 01:17:36.640 a six man tag team match, and this is where 1398 01:17:36.680 --> 01:17:42.319 things went awry. So Mysterio gets in the ring with Gable, 1399 01:17:42.920 --> 01:17:46.239 and Gable bails outside. Ray goes after him. He's chasing 1400 01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:49.159 him around the ring, and you know, it's not like 1401 01:17:49.279 --> 01:17:51.119 I was. I went back and I watched this to 1402 01:17:51.159 --> 01:17:54.039 see did he get hurt when he was running after him? 1403 01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:57.119 And he wasn't really running that hard. He chased him 1404 01:17:57.119 --> 01:18:00.000 around like one side of the ring, and Ray looked 1405 01:18:00.359 --> 01:18:02.000 and he went to go slide into the ring and 1406 01:18:02.119 --> 01:18:05.119 Julius Kreed grabs him by the leg and he drags 1407 01:18:05.199 --> 01:18:07.119 him out to the floor and Ray takes a bump 1408 01:18:07.159 --> 01:18:08.920 and he you know, he lands a little hard on 1409 01:18:08.960 --> 01:18:11.600 the floor, but honestly, it didn't look like anything out 1410 01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:14.279 of the ordinary. And I'm watching his knee and I'm 1411 01:18:14.319 --> 01:18:17.600 watching his leg and when he lands, you could tell 1412 01:18:17.640 --> 01:18:19.720 that he looks like he may have gotten hurt, but 1413 01:18:19.760 --> 01:18:23.520 I can't really tell how or like what what did 1414 01:18:23.520 --> 01:18:25.520 he hurt? Did he hurt his groin, did he hurt 1415 01:18:25.520 --> 01:18:27.960 his leg? It wasn't really apparent to me. What I 1416 01:18:28.000 --> 01:18:29.760 do know is that we didn't see him again for 1417 01:18:29.800 --> 01:18:31.560 the rest of the match. He never got up again 1418 01:18:31.600 --> 01:18:33.600 after that, or he did, but he ended up on 1419 01:18:33.640 --> 01:18:35.079 a different side of the ring. But he was down 1420 01:18:35.079 --> 01:18:38.039 on the floor and the trainer was with him the 1421 01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:40.800 entire time. So as the match goes on, we don't 1422 01:18:40.800 --> 01:18:46.760 see Raymisterio again. It's basically a handicap match at that point. 1423 01:18:47.039 --> 01:18:49.159 So when they came back from a break, Dragon Lee 1424 01:18:49.199 --> 01:18:52.600 was taking punishment from the heels. Lee was perched up 1425 01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:55.359 top all three heels, though ended up hanging by their legs, 1426 01:18:55.359 --> 01:18:57.319 so all three of them are basically in a tree 1427 01:18:57.319 --> 01:19:00.319 of woe in the corner, and Dragon Lee come off 1428 01:19:00.319 --> 01:19:03.159 with a double stomp on all three of them. Phoenix 1429 01:19:03.199 --> 01:19:06.159 got the hot tag. He had a spinning kick on Julius. 1430 01:19:06.199 --> 01:19:09.039 Things broke down Phoenix took out all of American made. 1431 01:19:09.439 --> 01:19:13.000 So Ray Phoenix goes up top and he walks the 1432 01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:16.720 top rope kicks Gable in the head with his Goodbye 1433 01:19:16.720 --> 01:19:20.880 Amigo kick. Lee landed the Destino, which he calls Operation 1434 01:19:21.039 --> 01:19:24.800 Dragon On Julius. Phoenix followed that with a mediora from 1435 01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:29.479 the top rope for the win. The mediora it gets 1436 01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:33.680 spammed so many times these days that it was weird 1437 01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:37.880 to see it used as a finish, Like, I'm fine 1438 01:19:37.920 --> 01:19:41.119 with it. I don't want to see Phoenix out there 1439 01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:44.079 doing all kinds of crazy shit and killing himself, but 1440 01:19:44.439 --> 01:19:46.479 it's just weird, you know, when you have a move 1441 01:19:46.600 --> 01:19:49.600 like that that's never used as a finish, and then 1442 01:19:49.640 --> 01:19:51.279 it was it was like, oh, okay, I don't know 1443 01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:54.720 if now, look, Ray Maisterio clearly was supposed to be 1444 01:19:54.720 --> 01:19:56.199 a part of this match. He may have been a 1445 01:19:56.239 --> 01:19:58.600 part of the finish. That may have been the plant 1446 01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:02.000 he couldn't get back into the match. For all we know, 1447 01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:05.079 this was all called on the fly, and this was 1448 01:20:05.079 --> 01:20:06.720 not going to be the original or the way the 1449 01:20:06.760 --> 01:20:09.840 original finish went down. We don't know, but it was 1450 01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:12.279 weird seeing that, you know, you use for the finish. Now, 1451 01:20:12.319 --> 01:20:14.680 as soon as the match was over, Phoenix and Dragon Lee, 1452 01:20:14.720 --> 01:20:17.119 they get out of the rain and they go outside 1453 01:20:17.159 --> 01:20:20.319 to go check on Raymysterio, and that's when I noticed, 1454 01:20:20.359 --> 01:20:22.560 Oh shit, I didn't even notice the trainer was out there. 1455 01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:24.960 At first. I'm like, have they been out there the 1456 01:20:25.079 --> 01:20:27.840 entire time? And then I went back and watched, and 1457 01:20:28.720 --> 01:20:31.520 you know, sure enough, he was laying out there the 1458 01:20:31.640 --> 01:20:34.319 entire time, which is not good. I saw the video. 1459 01:20:34.920 --> 01:20:37.039 He was carried to the back. He could not put 1460 01:20:37.079 --> 01:20:39.560 any weight on his left leg. I don't know if 1461 01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:41.960 it's the ankle, I don't know, if it's the knee, 1462 01:20:43.159 --> 01:20:45.159 I don't know. I don't know what it was. But 1463 01:20:45.239 --> 01:20:48.079 obviously he was in a lot of pain and not 1464 01:20:48.159 --> 01:20:51.000 able to put weight on that leg, and it would 1465 01:20:51.000 --> 01:20:53.880 be a real kick in the balls if it's serious enough. 1466 01:20:53.880 --> 01:20:55.600 And look, it doesn't even have to be a super 1467 01:20:55.640 --> 01:20:58.600 serious injury, like the match is less than twenty four 1468 01:20:58.600 --> 01:21:02.199 hours away, right, because I'm pretty sure they're wrestling on 1469 01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:06.279 night one, So it could be something kind of minor 1470 01:21:07.079 --> 01:21:09.359 but still serious enough that he's not going to be 1471 01:21:09.399 --> 01:21:12.960 able to wrestle on twenty four hours notice. So there's 1472 01:21:12.960 --> 01:21:16.279 a very real possibility that Ray Masterio could be out 1473 01:21:16.319 --> 01:21:20.439 of WrestleMania, and so what do you do then, you know, 1474 01:21:20.479 --> 01:21:22.359 what do you do with Chad Gate? Well, I'm sorry, 1475 01:21:22.560 --> 01:21:26.920 el Ganandi Americana? What do you do with Americano? You 1476 01:21:27.000 --> 01:21:30.039 still have him on the show? You've got Dragon Lee 1477 01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:34.199 right there, like Dragon Lee would honestly make the most sense. 1478 01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:37.680 Or you could put Ray Phoenix in that spot. I 1479 01:21:37.720 --> 01:21:40.279 would like to see Phoenix get a WrestleMania match. I 1480 01:21:40.279 --> 01:21:42.560 think that would be cool. You know, Penta and Phoenix 1481 01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:45.079 each get their own WrestleMania matches in their first year. 1482 01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:48.159 Because right now, Phoenix is not scheduled for the show, 1483 01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:51.319 So it's not the end of the world if Mysterio 1484 01:21:51.399 --> 01:21:53.279 goes down, because you could do that. You could do 1485 01:21:53.359 --> 01:21:57.119 Phoenix or Dragon Lee against Elganandai Americana. So I'm sure 1486 01:21:57.159 --> 01:22:00.399 he'll still wrestle and beyond the show, but hopefully that 1487 01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:03.439 won't be necessary. It would be nice to find out 1488 01:22:03.479 --> 01:22:05.039 their Ray's going to be okay and he'll be on 1489 01:22:05.079 --> 01:22:07.479 the show, But just based on what we saw tonight, 1490 01:22:08.720 --> 01:22:12.840 not looking too good. Now. They aired a very cool 1491 01:22:13.039 --> 01:22:17.840 video package for the Roman Reign Cmpunk seth Rolins Triple 1492 01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:21.720 threat match tomorrow night. It was set to Sail into 1493 01:22:21.760 --> 01:22:26.439 the Black by machine Head and this was awesome. I 1494 01:22:26.479 --> 01:22:29.000 saw this earlier today, but they aired it on the 1495 01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:32.439 show tonight. This video package was awesome and I love 1496 01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:35.520 the rock music. We need more of this. We need 1497 01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:39.880 more rock music in these video packages. So this was 1498 01:22:40.000 --> 01:22:43.960 very well done. And then we got the final face 1499 01:22:44.000 --> 01:22:47.680 to face to close the show, the final hard sell 1500 01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:50.760 for the Night two main event between Cody Rhodes and 1501 01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:54.720 John Cena. Cody came out to the ring first and 1502 01:22:54.760 --> 01:22:57.359 he got a fine reaction. It wasn't until he had 1503 01:22:57.399 --> 01:22:59.399 the microphone in his hand and went to go speak 1504 01:22:59.720 --> 01:23:02.560 that he got booed and to the point where he 1505 01:23:02.600 --> 01:23:05.560 had a stop and sort of take it all in. 1506 01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:07.720 And then he went to go speak again and they 1507 01:23:07.800 --> 01:23:11.279 boot him again. Before he could say a word, he 1508 01:23:11.319 --> 01:23:15.920 was interrupted by John Cena's music and John Cena makes 1509 01:23:15.920 --> 01:23:19.439 his way out, gets in the ring. He tells Cody, 1510 01:23:20.119 --> 01:23:24.439 shut your mouth, kid, this is gonna be seen his 1511 01:23:24.600 --> 01:23:31.039 twentieth WrestleMania. He says, his twelfth title match at WrestleMania. 1512 01:23:31.159 --> 01:23:33.720 He knows you can get lost in all the noise 1513 01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:38.439 with all these voices, there's one voice Cody should listen to, 1514 01:23:38.560 --> 01:23:40.560 and that's the man looking at him right now in 1515 01:23:40.600 --> 01:23:43.479 the eye. Sunday is the last time that he will 1516 01:23:43.479 --> 01:23:46.560 ever compete in a WrestleMania ring. No one has ever 1517 01:23:46.640 --> 01:23:49.800 had the courage to end their career the way that 1518 01:23:49.880 --> 01:23:52.119 he has, and there is nothing he can do to 1519 01:23:52.159 --> 01:23:54.680 prepare to face a man who knows that he is 1520 01:23:54.760 --> 01:24:00.359 going to die. What he's doing is so unprecedented. The 1521 01:24:00.399 --> 01:24:03.000 fans don't think it's real. They think he's going to 1522 01:24:03.039 --> 01:24:05.720 come back, because that's what they all do, right. There's 1523 01:24:05.760 --> 01:24:09.199 no such thing as a wrestling retirement. No wrestler ever 1524 01:24:09.319 --> 01:24:13.319 truly retires. He says. The reason for that is because 1525 01:24:13.359 --> 01:24:19.279 every other wrestler is a scared, insecure loser. I don't 1526 01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:21.039 know if he was referring to Rick Flair when he 1527 01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:24.439 said that, but said, they need these people to care 1528 01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:27.880 about them, to post about them, to talk about them, 1529 01:24:28.199 --> 01:24:31.479 because the second they're away from this, they're alone. He, 1530 01:24:31.800 --> 01:24:34.960 on the other hand, has love, joy and worth in 1531 01:24:35.039 --> 01:24:37.119 his life. He doesn't need a single damn one of 1532 01:24:37.119 --> 01:24:40.039 these people. The only reason he's here is to take 1533 01:24:40.079 --> 01:24:44.000 the title away from Cody and the fans forever. Don't 1534 01:24:44.000 --> 01:24:46.479 say I didn't warn you because he did. He says. 1535 01:24:46.680 --> 01:24:49.159 Last year everyone was celebrating with Cody at the end 1536 01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:53.119 of WrestleMania, but when Sina had his moment alone with Cody, 1537 01:24:53.520 --> 01:24:56.399 he told him, every day you hold that it gets heavier, 1538 01:24:56.920 --> 01:24:59.800 he said, Sunday, it finally becomes too heavy for Cody 1539 01:24:59.840 --> 01:25:05.239 to He will lose because he cares about them. You 1540 01:25:05.359 --> 01:25:09.119 people do not write history. Winners do there. It is 1541 01:25:09.439 --> 01:25:13.319 you people. He did it again. He did it again, 1542 01:25:13.640 --> 01:25:17.720 you people. I love it. He says. He came out 1543 01:25:17.720 --> 01:25:20.399 here tonight to share one more thing with Cody Before Sunday, 1544 01:25:21.439 --> 01:25:25.159 when he won that elimination chamber, he knew that it 1545 01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:30.880 would be impossible to beat Cody in a match at WrestleMania. Now, 1546 01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:35.520 he didn't explain why he felt this way. I assume 1547 01:25:35.600 --> 01:25:38.279 it would if you remember when he first came back 1548 01:25:38.520 --> 01:25:42.199 the promo on the first Netflix raw. He did address 1549 01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:44.640 something that I had been talking about for a long time, 1550 01:25:44.680 --> 01:25:48.319 which is his horrendous win loss record on television, at 1551 01:25:48.399 --> 01:25:51.399 least in singles matches. He has not won a singles 1552 01:25:51.439 --> 01:25:55.680 match in something like seven or eight years. And he 1553 01:25:55.720 --> 01:25:57.640 did address that and was kind of joking about it 1554 01:25:57.680 --> 01:25:59.680 at the beginning of the year when he announced he 1555 01:25:59.720 --> 01:26:01.159 was going to be in the Royal Rumble and then 1556 01:26:01.159 --> 01:26:04.239 he lost that too, So I assume that's what he 1557 01:26:04.319 --> 01:26:06.359 was getting at here, but he didn't really expand on that, 1558 01:26:06.479 --> 01:26:10.039 like why does he think he couldn't beat Cody? But 1559 01:26:10.079 --> 01:26:11.560 that's what he said. He goes he thought it would 1560 01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:14.960 be impossible to beat Cody at WrestleMania, and then Cody 1561 01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:17.159 changed all of that with what he said to the Rock. 1562 01:26:18.159 --> 01:26:20.920 The Rock gave him a choice, do you want to 1563 01:26:20.960 --> 01:26:24.560 do what's right or do you want to win? And 1564 01:26:24.600 --> 01:26:27.520 when Cody made his choice, Sina realize Cody doesn't stand 1565 01:26:27.520 --> 01:26:30.640 a chance. And that night all that was left for 1566 01:26:30.760 --> 01:26:33.279 him to do was the one thing that Cody couldn't 1567 01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:37.520 prove to the fans that they don't matter. When you 1568 01:26:37.560 --> 01:26:40.720 stop caring about them, you can accomplish anything in life. 1569 01:26:41.640 --> 01:26:45.960 But Cody is too weak to understand that. He says 1570 01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:50.119 Sunday to beat him. To beat Sena, Cody has to choose. 1571 01:26:50.880 --> 01:26:53.640 Does he do what they think is right or does 1572 01:26:53.640 --> 01:26:59.279 he win? Does he want to win? Cody is scared, insecure, 1573 01:26:59.399 --> 01:27:03.119 and naive. You wear this suit, you have your tattoo 1574 01:27:03.159 --> 01:27:05.880 because you want to be somebody because he didn't need 1575 01:27:05.920 --> 01:27:09.279 the tattoo, because Sunday he's going to make him somebody. 1576 01:27:10.680 --> 01:27:12.880 Cody will realize that he is not the captain or 1577 01:27:12.920 --> 01:27:15.359 the quarterback. He's still just a kid in a man's 1578 01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:19.960 world who doesn't have the balls of the last real champion. 1579 01:27:21.239 --> 01:27:24.279 And then it was Cody's chance to speak. And before 1580 01:27:24.319 --> 01:27:26.159 we even get into that, let me just say I 1581 01:27:26.199 --> 01:27:29.359 thought this was delivered well and Cody, you know, he 1582 01:27:29.399 --> 01:27:32.159 stood there and listened to everything Sina had to say, 1583 01:27:32.159 --> 01:27:34.319 and Sina had some good lines in there. I liked 1584 01:27:34.479 --> 01:27:36.199 one of the first lines in there about how he's 1585 01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:39.960 facing a man who's not afraid to die. Yeah, because 1586 01:27:39.960 --> 01:27:42.119 he's already announced that he's done. It's not like he's 1587 01:27:42.159 --> 01:27:44.399 putting his career on the line. It's not a career 1588 01:27:44.479 --> 01:27:47.199 ending match, like he already made his piece with it. 1589 01:27:47.279 --> 01:27:50.640 He's made the announcement, this is my final WrestleMania match, 1590 01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:54.079 this is my last ride. I'm done at the end 1591 01:27:54.079 --> 01:27:56.920 of this year. I've got nothing to lose, right, That 1592 01:27:57.079 --> 01:27:59.760 was basically what he was saying, and I thought that 1593 01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:03.840 line went pretty hard. So again, this was good stuff 1594 01:28:04.079 --> 01:28:07.199 from Sena, not radically different from what we've heard from 1595 01:28:07.279 --> 01:28:10.600 him in the past. He did fall back a lot 1596 01:28:10.640 --> 01:28:13.199 here on ragging on the fans. This feud has not 1597 01:28:13.359 --> 01:28:17.039 really been between Cody and Sena. This has been John 1598 01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:20.760 Sena against the fans. That's basically what this has been 1599 01:28:20.800 --> 01:28:24.600 built on. And Cody is is a vessel of the fans. 1600 01:28:24.880 --> 01:28:27.239 He relies on the fans. He likes the fans. He 1601 01:28:28.039 --> 01:28:30.439 you know, he everything he does is for the fans, 1602 01:28:31.199 --> 01:28:34.079 and so ultimately that will be his downfall. That's the 1603 01:28:34.119 --> 01:28:36.800 story of this match. It's really John Sena against you 1604 01:28:36.960 --> 01:28:40.279 and me at WrestleMania. I'll be waiting for my wrestlemaniat 1605 01:28:40.279 --> 01:28:43.319 pay Day, by the way, So they really leaned into 1606 01:28:43.319 --> 01:28:45.560 that in this probo. But then it was Cody's turn 1607 01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:52.119 to speak, and the fans started booing again and Sina said, 1608 01:28:52.199 --> 01:28:57.239 this is who you fight for, and Cody said. Sena 1609 01:28:57.640 --> 01:28:59.840 said that he doesn't or remember when Cody made the 1610 01:29:01.880 --> 01:29:05.199 about him burying talent, and Seena's response was I don't 1611 01:29:05.239 --> 01:29:08.640 bury talent. I am talent. So he made reference to 1612 01:29:08.680 --> 01:29:11.920 that line again here. He said, well, he knows a 1613 01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:14.640 graveyard of talent that would disagree with that, but we're 1614 01:29:14.680 --> 01:29:18.800 not talking about them. We're talking about WrestleMania. He asked 1615 01:29:18.800 --> 01:29:20.560 Sena if he knows the name of the guy who 1616 01:29:20.600 --> 01:29:23.720 handed him the mic. Do you know who that guy is? Beaues, 1617 01:29:23.760 --> 01:29:25.760 I'll bet you don't. Or maybe that woman over there 1618 01:29:25.880 --> 01:29:28.119 or that camera guy or this person or that person. 1619 01:29:29.399 --> 01:29:31.880 He says, since the goat hasn't shown up since the 1620 01:29:31.920 --> 01:29:35.840 elimination chamber, let me offer you some perspective. And he 1621 01:29:35.920 --> 01:29:42.520 calls Cody underwhelming. He says, right, you call me underwhelming. Well, 1622 01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:48.920 Sena is overrated, overbearing, out of touch, out of time, 1623 01:29:50.199 --> 01:29:52.960 with a face like melting wax in a stack of 1624 01:29:53.039 --> 01:29:55.640 dimes for a neck. I wonder where he got that 1625 01:29:55.720 --> 01:30:03.640 line from. And he's paler than sting At Stark ninety seven. 1626 01:30:04.560 --> 01:30:07.880 That was great. If you know, you know, If you 1627 01:30:07.920 --> 01:30:10.640 know the story, then you get the reference. If you don't, 1628 01:30:10.680 --> 01:30:16.960 then you won't. And Sena's sanctimonious comments about how he's 1629 01:30:17.000 --> 01:30:20.760 an errand boy when the whole world watched him saunter 1630 01:30:20.880 --> 01:30:23.800 out onto the Oscar stage butt ass naked for the 1631 01:30:23.800 --> 01:30:27.960 people he runs errands for now and by god, John, 1632 01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:34.720 it's twenty twenty five and you still can't wrestle. He 1633 01:30:34.800 --> 01:30:37.439 won the crowd over with those comments. Whoever you thought 1634 01:30:37.520 --> 01:30:40.720 won the promo. What he was able to do was 1635 01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:43.479 turn the crowd back in his favor because as he 1636 01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:46.479 was really getting fired up and getting into these comments 1637 01:30:46.520 --> 01:30:49.319 and the sting line, and like, by the end of 1638 01:30:49.359 --> 01:30:52.359 this they were cheering for Cody. He had won them back. 1639 01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:57.159 So Sina called them all idiots. They're just like Cody. 1640 01:30:57.319 --> 01:30:59.479 They don't know what they want. And to beat Cody, 1641 01:30:59.479 --> 01:31:02.960 he says, he doesn't have to wrestle. And then this 1642 01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:04.520 is the part where it looked like he gave him 1643 01:31:04.520 --> 01:31:06.399 a karate chop. It may have been a thumb to 1644 01:31:06.439 --> 01:31:08.840 the eye. Just the way they shot it, you couldn't 1645 01:31:08.880 --> 01:31:10.279 tell because it was from the other like the other 1646 01:31:10.319 --> 01:31:12.680 side of Cody's head. I thought maybe he kind of 1647 01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:15.239 bopped him in the fucking ear and they were selling 1648 01:31:15.239 --> 01:31:16.960 the fact that, you know, he had the busted ear 1649 01:31:17.039 --> 01:31:19.880 drum after the elimination chamber. It may have been a 1650 01:31:19.880 --> 01:31:22.039 thumb to the eye. It legitimately looked like he gave 1651 01:31:22.079 --> 01:31:25.439 him a fucking karate chop. Okay, he looked like Daniel 1652 01:31:25.680 --> 01:31:28.239 out there. Daniel. You know, I guess how old is 1653 01:31:28.319 --> 01:31:30.640 Ralph Macchio. Now he might be the same age just 1654 01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:32.720 scene it for all I know, but that's what he 1655 01:31:32.760 --> 01:31:35.640 looked like. Give a fucking karate chop and Cody sold it. 1656 01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:37.319 And then he got him on his shoulders for an 1657 01:31:37.359 --> 01:31:40.359 attitude adjustment. Cody slips out and he ends up giving 1658 01:31:40.399 --> 01:31:44.039 him the crossroads and so yet again the second time 1659 01:31:44.119 --> 01:31:47.079 now in the last few weeks. Well, I guess it 1660 01:31:47.119 --> 01:31:49.720 would have been the thirty first, right, March thirty first 1661 01:31:49.880 --> 01:31:51.840 was the last time we saw Sina and he got 1662 01:31:51.920 --> 01:31:53.439 laid out at the end of that segment two with 1663 01:31:53.479 --> 01:31:55.800 an AA. So here he is yet again looking up 1664 01:31:55.800 --> 01:31:57.960 at the lights and the show goes off the air. 1665 01:31:58.039 --> 01:32:01.199 Cody goes back down the aisle posing with his title. 1666 01:32:01.720 --> 01:32:05.560 That is how the Final SmackDown, the final show before WrestleMania, 1667 01:32:05.600 --> 01:32:09.840 went off the air. I loved the little Hall of 1668 01:32:09.920 --> 01:32:14.279 Oaths reference. Out of Touch, out of time thumbs up 1669 01:32:14.279 --> 01:32:19.159 on that. The Sting being pale, I mean, that's just 1670 01:32:19.199 --> 01:32:25.119 a classic, just nonsensical. Eric Bischoff's story about him and 1671 01:32:25.159 --> 01:32:28.720 Hogan and why they felt like why they felt like 1672 01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:32.039 Sting did not deserve to win the World Championship at 1673 01:32:32.079 --> 01:32:36.319 Stark ninety seven. He was very pale when he showed 1674 01:32:36.399 --> 01:32:39.920 up that day. He was not in the best shape. Yes, 1675 01:32:39.960 --> 01:32:42.960 because when I watched Stark ninety seven, I can remember 1676 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:47.439 Sting walking out there thinking, my god, he's in horrible shape. 1677 01:32:47.800 --> 01:32:49.840 He looks terrible, he looks like he just had a 1678 01:32:49.840 --> 01:32:54.039 fucking five day bender. Oh and he's pale. So let's 1679 01:32:54.119 --> 01:32:59.600 keep the title on Hogan, who's orange. I don't see 1680 01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:02.239 how this show is over. You were left with any 1681 01:33:02.239 --> 01:33:04.760 other impression than John Sena is going to win number 1682 01:33:04.760 --> 01:33:08.760 seventeen on Sunday. John Sena turned heel an elimination chamber. 1683 01:33:09.279 --> 01:33:11.520 He was the biggest thing in wrestling. It's all anybody 1684 01:33:11.680 --> 01:33:15.119 was talking about. Everybody was excited, it was well done, 1685 01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:18.279 It got people buzzing, and then he was gone for 1686 01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:19.960 two weeks. We didn't see him. We didn't see him, 1687 01:33:19.960 --> 01:33:22.560 we didn't see the rock. Then we saw Scena three 1688 01:33:22.560 --> 01:33:24.199 weeks in a row. He didn't have a whole lot 1689 01:33:24.239 --> 01:33:26.239 to say those first two weeks about Cody. In fact, 1690 01:33:26.279 --> 01:33:30.039 he didn't say anything about Cody. We got that one 1691 01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:32.640 great segment in London between them that was actually great, 1692 01:33:33.680 --> 01:33:35.439 and then again nothing for two weeks, and then we 1693 01:33:35.479 --> 01:33:38.560 got what we got tonight, which was fine as sort 1694 01:33:38.560 --> 01:33:42.840 of the closing salvo between these two. But the John 1695 01:33:42.880 --> 01:33:47.439 ccena heel turn or He'll run so far has been underwhelming, 1696 01:33:48.920 --> 01:33:51.439 and I don't know how long it's gonna go. I 1697 01:33:51.479 --> 01:33:54.319 don't know if it's done after WrestleMania. I don't know 1698 01:33:54.359 --> 01:33:56.399 if they're gonna take it all the way to SummerSlam. 1699 01:33:56.760 --> 01:33:58.039 I don't know if they're gonna take it to the 1700 01:33:58.119 --> 01:34:00.000 end of the year. I don't know. Obviously he'll be 1701 01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:03.520 he'll turn back before the end of the year. But 1702 01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:06.239 what I was hoping to finally see from a heel 1703 01:34:06.319 --> 01:34:09.920 John Cena, just selfishly as a fan, because we haven't 1704 01:34:09.960 --> 01:34:13.119 seen John Cena as a heel in over two decades. 1705 01:34:14.479 --> 01:34:16.359 What I was hoping we might be able to get 1706 01:34:16.399 --> 01:34:19.840 out of this, we haven't gotten. And it's been very 1707 01:34:19.880 --> 01:34:23.000 It's been very underwhelming. It's been very underwhelming, very disappointing. 1708 01:34:23.640 --> 01:34:27.600 There are times where it even feels forced. And I'm 1709 01:34:27.640 --> 01:34:31.319 hoping that whatever they have planned for WrestleMania, maybe it'll 1710 01:34:31.359 --> 01:34:36.800 breathe new life into it, because for me, I can't 1711 01:34:36.800 --> 01:34:38.960 sit here and tell you, oh my god, it's been great. 1712 01:34:39.119 --> 01:34:41.600 Now it could have been, it could have been, but 1713 01:34:41.640 --> 01:34:44.239 it hasn't been. That's just the reality of it. It 1714 01:34:44.279 --> 01:34:48.439 hasn't been, but now the match is here and that's 1715 01:34:48.479 --> 01:34:51.520 all that matters. What do they do at WrestleMania. If 1716 01:34:51.600 --> 01:34:53.800 John Cena is going to continue to be a heel, 1717 01:34:53.840 --> 01:34:57.479 which he should, he needs to win the WWE title 1718 01:34:57.479 --> 01:34:59.760 of WRESTLEMANI he needs to be the one to go 1719 01:34:59.800 --> 01:35:02.359 into St. Louis next month the Backlash and defend that 1720 01:35:02.439 --> 01:35:05.760 championship against Randy Orton. So we get a Randy Orton 1721 01:35:05.840 --> 01:35:09.319 John Cena match one last time. Roles are reversed this time. 1722 01:35:09.359 --> 01:35:14.039 Seenea' is the heel, Orton's the face. What an atmosphere 1723 01:35:14.039 --> 01:35:16.520 it'll be in Saint Louis. That'll be a huge match. 1724 01:35:17.399 --> 01:35:20.640 Sena and CM Punk same thing. It works so much 1725 01:35:20.720 --> 01:35:23.000 better if Sena is the heel and Punk is the 1726 01:35:23.000 --> 01:35:26.039 baby face, especially after the comments that Punk made about 1727 01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:29.000 him after the Chamber. You can't turn him back before 1728 01:35:29.039 --> 01:35:32.960 you do that match. You can't. It's booking malpractice if 1729 01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:36.359 you do that. But Sena, I feel like he has 1730 01:35:36.439 --> 01:35:39.239 to win this championship and then you get these big 1731 01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:42.600 title matches against all these people. If he doesn't win 1732 01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:45.640 and he stays a heel, we're gonna get those matches anyway, 1733 01:35:46.279 --> 01:35:48.720 and every single time John Cena goes out there to 1734 01:35:48.760 --> 01:35:50.800 wrestle a CM Punk or a Randy Orton or an 1735 01:35:50.800 --> 01:35:54.039 AJ Styles or anybody else that he might wrestle, it 1736 01:35:54.079 --> 01:35:56.880 will completely overshadow everything else on the show. It will 1737 01:35:56.920 --> 01:35:59.880 be the biggest thing on the show. And if Cody 1738 01:35:59.920 --> 01:36:04.479 is WWE Champion, the WWE Championship is now number two 1739 01:36:05.000 --> 01:36:09.000 on the show. That's another reason why to me, it 1740 01:36:09.079 --> 01:36:12.600 makes sense put the belt on Sena, even if just 1741 01:36:12.640 --> 01:36:15.920 for a few months. Put the belt on Sena. That 1742 01:36:16.039 --> 01:36:18.600 is the right outcome this Sunday. Everything they've done so far, 1743 01:36:18.720 --> 01:36:22.039 laying him out twice at all points to that. What involvement, 1744 01:36:22.079 --> 01:36:24.079 if any, will The Rock have in this I don't know. 1745 01:36:24.119 --> 01:36:27.560 We haven't seen The Rock since Toronto. I cannot imagine 1746 01:36:27.600 --> 01:36:31.479 he won't be there. Him and Travis Scott will probably 1747 01:36:31.520 --> 01:36:34.640 be there. What involvement, if any, in the match will 1748 01:36:34.680 --> 01:36:37.920 they have? Is there a third man? Is the main 1749 01:36:37.960 --> 01:36:40.159 event on Night one the finish of that match going 1750 01:36:40.199 --> 01:36:42.000 to tie in to the main event of Night two? 1751 01:36:43.119 --> 01:36:46.680 I don't know. Is there going to be another person 1752 01:36:46.720 --> 01:36:51.159 revealed as being part of their little click? But if 1753 01:36:51.199 --> 01:36:54.479 Cody goes in there and he retains the championship. Where 1754 01:36:54.479 --> 01:37:00.960 does Sena go from here? That's my question. What's next 1755 01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:04.119 for him? Where does that story go with him as 1756 01:37:04.159 --> 01:37:06.159 a heel. There's some people who said they would like 1757 01:37:06.199 --> 01:37:07.800 to see a double turn. People were talking about a 1758 01:37:07.840 --> 01:37:10.800 double turn in the chap before. I mean, the guy 1759 01:37:10.880 --> 01:37:15.600 just turn heel. You gotta turn him back. But this 1760 01:37:15.680 --> 01:37:17.880 is this is going to be very interesting to see 1761 01:37:18.600 --> 01:37:23.479 whether Rock is involved and who shows their face during 1762 01:37:23.520 --> 01:37:25.399 that main event, and also what kind of match is 1763 01:37:25.439 --> 01:37:28.239 it going to be. The last few matches John Cena 1764 01:37:28.239 --> 01:37:31.399 has had have not been good. The match with Austin 1765 01:37:31.479 --> 01:37:35.199 Theory was no good. The match with Solo Socoo where 1766 01:37:35.319 --> 01:37:40.079 Solo gave him like sixteen Samo and Spikes was not good. 1767 01:37:40.800 --> 01:37:44.600 There's no tag team situation here. It's not an elimination chamber, 1768 01:37:44.640 --> 01:37:46.920 it's not a Royal rumble. Scene is in a one 1769 01:37:47.000 --> 01:37:49.880 on one match, and it's a Wrestlemaniam main event match. 1770 01:37:49.920 --> 01:37:51.600 He's going to be out there for a good fifteen 1771 01:37:51.680 --> 01:37:54.920 twenty twenty five minutes. What kind of matches John Cena 1772 01:37:55.000 --> 01:37:57.840 gonna have? Forty seven years old, it's been a while 1773 01:37:57.880 --> 01:37:59.520 since Sceena has gone out there. And had a real 1774 01:37:59.600 --> 01:38:03.760 kick ass quality singles match. That's another thing. I'm curious 1775 01:38:03.800 --> 01:38:05.319 to see. What does he look like in the ring 1776 01:38:05.439 --> 01:38:08.560 with Cody? What kind of match does Cody have with Cina? 1777 01:38:09.239 --> 01:38:11.079 This is not the John Cena of ten years ago 1778 01:38:11.159 --> 01:38:12.960 or fifteen years ago. The last time these two had 1779 01:38:12.960 --> 01:38:14.960 a match together, it was I believe it would have 1780 01:38:14.960 --> 01:38:19.920 been their Elimination Chamber qualifying match. That was in twenty ten. 1781 01:38:20.760 --> 01:38:26.560 They had a raw match. That's fifteen years ago. Cody's 1782 01:38:26.600 --> 01:38:28.800 in a very different place now. John Cena is in 1783 01:38:28.840 --> 01:38:33.359 a very different place. Now. What kind of Wrestlemaniam main 1784 01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:38.600 event are these two going to have? Find out Sunday. 1785 01:38:39.000 --> 01:38:40.920 Take a look at the Twitter poll.

Ain't no bigger match other 1793 01:39:13.079 --> 01:39:14.880 than I guess his retirement match when we get to 1794 01:39:14.920 --> 01:39:17.800 the end of the year, but they made the choice 1795 01:39:17.840 --> 01:39:19.640 for him to be in this WrestleMania made event. Now 1796 01:39:19.640 --> 01:39:20.760 you've got to go out there and have a big 1797 01:39:20.760 --> 01:39:23.800 WrestleMania main event caliber match, and he hasn't had one 1798 01:39:23.840 --> 01:39:26.560 of those in many years. So what that looks like, 1799 01:39:27.319 --> 01:39:28.680 I don't know, but I hope it looks a lot 1800 01:39:28.720 --> 01:39:30.840 better than the match you had with fucking Theory a 1801 01:39:30.880 --> 01:39:35.560 couple of years ago.

Hey Holiday one ninety seven, 1841 01:41:31.960 --> 01:41:35.000 starting us off from earlier and thank you by the 1842 01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:40.640 way to the eighteen hundred plus that have a joined 1843 01:41:40.680 --> 01:41:42.479 for the stream tonight. If we're doing that with a 1844 01:41:42.520 --> 01:41:45.880 SmackDown before media, what are we going to do at Mayni? 1845 01:41:46.399 --> 01:41:47.880 What are we going to do tomorrow night? What are 1846 01:41:47.920 --> 01:41:51.640 we going to do Sunday night? I'm expecting big numbers 1847 01:41:51.680 --> 01:41:54.920 for the WrestleMania reviews. Holiday says, Hey Solo, I hope 1848 01:41:54.960 --> 01:41:57.039 WrestleMania is a great pay per view and that you 1849 01:41:57.119 --> 01:42:01.880 enjoy the show you as well. I saw the WrestleMania 1850 01:42:02.000 --> 01:42:05.720 forty one stage reveal and it's an amazing setup, likely 1851 01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:09.199 within the top three best WrestleMania stages with thirty three 1852 01:42:09.279 --> 01:42:13.000 and thirty nine. WrestleMania is even better to watch with 1853 01:42:13.199 --> 01:42:19.640 food and snacks. Yes, I have to have food when 1854 01:42:19.640 --> 01:42:22.720 I watched these shows. Always got to have a good 1855 01:42:22.760 --> 01:42:29.000 snack handy. I saw the stage reveal. It looks great. 1856 01:42:30.479 --> 01:42:33.279 It's up there. It's not the best stage they've ever done, 1857 01:42:33.279 --> 01:42:36.159 but it's in that realm. We'll see what it looks 1858 01:42:36.199 --> 01:42:40.560 like tomorrow night, once the stadium is filled in Lakers 1859 01:42:40.640 --> 01:42:44.439 Pats Russo swerve Jimmy turns and costs j the World 1860 01:42:44.479 --> 01:42:50.880 Heavyweight championship. That would be fucking terrible. We had Jimmy 1861 01:42:50.880 --> 01:42:53.880 and Jay last year and I have no interest in 1862 01:42:53.920 --> 01:42:59.159 seeing it again after that. Did you not learn your 1863 01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:03.760 lesson after last year? Why would you want to see 1864 01:43:03.760 --> 01:43:08.880 that again? Chris O'Neil Russev will return Sunday and Bianca 1865 01:43:08.880 --> 01:43:13.640 will turn heel helping Naomi. Bianca may turn heel, but 1866 01:43:13.720 --> 01:43:19.199 she ain't helping Naomi. Not this weekend. Brother Fluff Salisbury. Well, 1867 01:43:19.199 --> 01:43:23.000 thanks to Howard Finkel and you, I've been hearing pizza, 1868 01:43:23.000 --> 01:43:27.239 pizza in my head for the past few days. You're 1869 01:43:27.279 --> 01:43:30.960 welcome pizza. It's another great snack. Some people might want 1870 01:43:30.960 --> 01:43:32.960 to have pizza during WrestleMania. I will not be one 1871 01:43:32.960 --> 01:43:38.039 of those people. Randy Bobandy with a twenty dollars super 1872 01:43:38.119 --> 01:43:42.760 Chat random question, did you ever see the shoot with 1873 01:43:42.880 --> 01:43:47.359 punkin Joe about twenty years ago? Where homicide almost peed 1874 01:43:47.520 --> 01:43:52.920 on punk or where they were ribbed to go to 1875 01:43:52.960 --> 01:43:58.359 a club on crossdresser night. No, this is the first 1876 01:43:58.399 --> 01:44:02.960 I'm hearing of it. I do remember in one of 1877 01:44:03.000 --> 01:44:05.640 their shoots, and I think it was a Ring of 1878 01:44:05.680 --> 01:44:10.199 Honor shoot that they did. They were talking about a fan, 1879 01:44:10.359 --> 01:44:14.840 I think a female fan who used to drive them 1880 01:44:14.880 --> 01:44:17.399 around and kind of do stuff for them, and how 1881 01:44:17.399 --> 01:44:19.239 they treated her like shit, and I just thought, man, 1882 01:44:19.399 --> 01:44:22.920 it really made them, it really made them come across 1883 01:44:23.479 --> 01:44:27.640 not well at all. Like I remember that. But the 1884 01:44:27.680 --> 01:44:30.960 one you're talking about, No, I don't remember seeing that. 1885 01:44:31.680 --> 01:44:36.479 Herb Abrams, Oh my god, he is back from the dead. 1886 01:44:37.760 --> 01:44:43.319 Herb Abrams is with us. Doesn't say if he brought 1887 01:44:43.359 --> 01:44:48.600 the hookers and coke. He said that pale sting comment 1888 01:44:48.840 --> 01:44:54.800 was something else. Loll Herb, you didn't bring the good stuff. Man, 1889 01:44:56.439 --> 01:45:01.279 you disappoint me. Fire Panda with the I see the magenta, 1890 01:45:01.439 --> 01:45:08.760 so I know it's big. Fire Panda is here and 1891 01:45:08.840 --> 01:45:14.119 look at this with a fifty dollars gunthar bomb. I 1892 01:45:14.159 --> 01:45:18.119 think there is only one way, and the panda means 1893 01:45:18.359 --> 01:45:22.880 one way to start Mania weekend Here at SoundOff Headquarters, 1894 01:45:23.560 --> 01:45:29.239 point to the sign, well you can't really see it here, 1895 01:45:29.279 --> 01:45:31.079 but yes, it is behind me. I will have to 1896 01:45:31.119 --> 01:45:35.279 be pulling this sign down next week. The sign is 1897 01:45:35.319 --> 01:45:39.520 over there. I am pointing to it right now. Enjoy it. 1898 01:45:39.960 --> 01:45:43.560 You only got it for a few more days. Thank you, 1899 01:45:43.640 --> 01:45:48.479 Fire Panda JDFVA. This weekend is full of solemn Monster content. 1900 01:45:48.960 --> 01:45:52.039 Sub now. Yes, if you are not subscribed, we might 1901 01:45:52.079 --> 01:45:56.840 actually hit eighty six thousand subscribers this weekend. We're already 1902 01:45:56.920 --> 01:45:59.479 very close. This weekend might put us over the top. 1903 01:46:01.079 --> 01:46:04.600 Randy Bobandy with another twenty This is my be the 1904 01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:08.319 Booker contribution in the hopes the legend himself greatest cruiserweight 1905 01:46:08.399 --> 01:46:12.119 champion of all time. Billy Kidman makes an appearance. Well, 1906 01:46:12.159 --> 01:46:15.000 you're gonna be very upset because Billy Kidman is not 1907 01:46:15.800 --> 01:46:25.800 in Be the Booker. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Tony 1908 01:46:25.800 --> 01:46:30.039 Boloney McCall, thank you for the ten no message. Herbie 1909 01:46:30.039 --> 01:46:33.199 Abrams again, the SmackDown tag titles not being on the 1910 01:46:33.239 --> 01:46:38.159 line at Mania is a damn travesty. It's just again, 1911 01:46:38.199 --> 01:46:40.439 it's just bizarre to me. It's just it really is. 1912 01:46:43.520 --> 01:46:46.720 It's just bewildering to me that of the two tag 1913 01:46:46.760 --> 01:46:50.800 team titles. The other ones would be the ones defended 1914 01:46:50.840 --> 01:46:58.680 at Wrestlemaine. I don't understand that Tony Boloney says, wwe 1915 01:46:58.800 --> 01:47:02.359 can't call Charlotte Flat a Grand Slam champion counting NXT 1916 01:47:02.640 --> 01:47:05.199 and also say that she's a fourteen time champion and 1917 01:47:05.239 --> 01:47:11.319 not count NXT. She's going for winning number seventeen at 1918 01:47:11.319 --> 01:47:17.479 WrestleMania forty one, not to them, and it's their record. 1919 01:47:17.600 --> 01:47:20.520 So she's a fourteen time champion. That's the way they 1920 01:47:20.520 --> 01:47:22.560 want it. That's the way it is. If she wins, 1921 01:47:22.560 --> 01:47:29.560 she'll be fifteen Edwin and Garcia. I think La Knight 1922 01:47:29.680 --> 01:47:34.760 might lose the title after Tonight's SmackDown. He could definitely lose. 1923 01:47:35.039 --> 01:47:38.800 I have him winning, but that one's a little tougher 1924 01:47:38.880 --> 01:47:40.680 to call than some of the other matches. I could 1925 01:47:40.720 --> 01:47:44.279 see him losing. I just think Solo getting involved in it. 1926 01:47:44.399 --> 01:47:48.199 Backfiring would make more sense, and then it leads right 1927 01:47:48.239 --> 01:47:51.560 into Jacob and Solo a backlash and it doesn't have 1928 01:47:51.640 --> 01:47:56.640 to be for the US title. TK Banks. The ninety 1929 01:47:56.680 --> 01:47:59.359 seven Stark line made me think Cody is losing then 1930 01:47:59.399 --> 01:48:01.439 going away for a while, only to come back with 1931 01:48:01.520 --> 01:48:05.319 black hair and be the savior. Unlike the shit Hogan 1932 01:48:05.520 --> 01:48:09.199 Sting finish at starkad the good guy win, the good guy, 1933 01:48:09.399 --> 01:48:14.239 the goods, he says, the good the goods guy win. Guys, 1934 01:48:14.239 --> 01:48:17.520 you fucked me up with that super chat TK. No, 1935 01:48:17.600 --> 01:48:22.159 that's not gonna happen. Joseph Stewart says, have you seen 1936 01:48:22.199 --> 01:48:25.239 the Street Fighter movie with Jean Claude Van dem Believe 1937 01:48:25.239 --> 01:48:31.479 it or not? I have not.

Eight 1963 01:50:31.039 --> 01:50:34.239 doves bids, can't miss duffs bids. What's the best part 1964 01:50:34.239 --> 01:50:43.640 of having a twin spare parts? Ah, I see, Owen Curtis. 1965 01:50:43.680 --> 01:50:45.880 If Sina wins on Sunday, wouldn't that make him an 1966 01:50:45.880 --> 01:50:50.800 eighteen time champion. Universal title has not been officially retired, 1967 01:50:50.920 --> 01:50:55.439 even if it pretty much is at this point. The 1968 01:50:55.560 --> 01:50:58.800 universal title, as far as I'm concerned, is a thing 1969 01:50:58.880 --> 01:51:05.479 of the past. I don't even count it. Honey, deep 1970 01:51:05.520 --> 01:51:08.560 Fried Chicken says, this Chicken tells you how John Cena 1971 01:51:08.600 --> 01:51:11.680 can get more heat on himself during his match, Sena 1972 01:51:11.760 --> 01:51:15.720 does a Hogan leg drop, uses Omega's one winged Angel, 1973 01:51:16.159 --> 01:51:24.439 and steals Rick Flair's figure four. How about he does 1974 01:51:24.520 --> 01:51:26.399 none of those things. I don't even think Sena can 1975 01:51:26.439 --> 01:51:29.720 do his top rope leg slice that he used to do. 1976 01:51:30.600 --> 01:51:33.439 Like if he busts that out at WrestleMania, I'd be shocked. 1977 01:51:37.640 --> 01:51:44.520 Kung Fu Joseph Solo, you said this show is met. 1978 01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:46.800 Didn't you listen to Triple H. We have to shut 1979 01:51:46.880 --> 01:51:50.039 up and just enjoy the show. I know, I know, 1980 01:51:51.640 --> 01:51:55.079 just shut up and enjoy the show. That's what he 1981 01:51:55.119 --> 01:51:59.640 wants everybody to do. I'll bet he does. Spoken like 1982 01:51:59.680 --> 01:52:02.800 somebody who's finally getting a lot of negative feedback on 1983 01:52:02.840 --> 01:52:05.119 this road to wrestle Mania and isn't taking it very well. 1984 01:52:06.119 --> 01:52:09.239 That's what it sounds like to me. Duffsvids, how many 1985 01:52:09.239 --> 01:52:17.119 people died on the Titanic A boat load? Ah, that's awful. 1986 01:52:19.880 --> 01:52:26.920 You suck that's awful, Timothy tell Us with the twenty 1987 01:52:26.960 --> 01:52:29.399 dollars super chat. I hope everybody is having a great day. 1988 01:52:30.199 --> 01:52:33.760 I worked all door dashing. Now I can get to 1989 01:52:33.800 --> 01:52:38.600 the show. Hey, Timothy, I got your emails earlier as well. 1990 01:52:38.600 --> 01:52:42.079 Thank you very much. I appreciate the support more than 1991 01:52:42.119 --> 01:52:46.800 you know we got, Anthony. The build to mid card 1992 01:52:46.880 --> 01:52:52.399 Mania made me less interested. You're not the only one 1993 01:52:52.439 --> 01:53:02.920 I've heard that from bays Beer Duff's VID says too soon? 1994 01:53:04.199 --> 01:53:08.520 What was that nineteen twelve? I still think it's too soon, 1995 01:53:10.319 --> 01:53:14.000 Nick Grosso. It seems like the Tessa Blanchard experiment is 1996 01:53:14.039 --> 01:53:17.359 failing badly. Last night in Las Vegas. Throughout the match, 1997 01:53:18.119 --> 01:53:22.119 the crowd was channing f U Tessa. She's a racist 1998 01:53:22.399 --> 01:53:24.960 and she's been getting the we coming for you, Oh 1999 01:53:24.960 --> 01:53:32.119 my god, we coming for you. Chance mistake by TNA. Well, look, 2000 01:53:32.279 --> 01:53:34.079 they knew what they signed up for when they brought 2001 01:53:34.079 --> 01:53:38.840 her back. I don't think they give a shit. I 2002 01:53:38.840 --> 01:53:40.600 don't know what would lead you to believe that they care. 2003 01:53:46.039 --> 01:53:47.560 But as long as that keeps up, you ain't going 2004 01:53:47.600 --> 01:53:56.159 to see her in WWA. King Nator with the thirty 2005 01:53:56.199 --> 01:54:01.760 eight dollars. Fuck Kevin Dunn super chat Hey solo. After 2006 01:54:01.800 --> 01:54:03.800 watching the bill to the triple Threat match for the 2007 01:54:03.800 --> 01:54:06.479 first time, I am pulling for Rollins to win. I 2008 01:54:06.479 --> 01:54:08.800 think he deserves it. I've been calling for a Rollins 2009 01:54:08.800 --> 01:54:12.359 win for weeks. That's why I'm saying he's gonna win. 2010 01:54:13.239 --> 01:54:19.239 He's been my pick for a while. Honey, deep Fried 2011 01:54:19.319 --> 01:54:22.079 Chicken with flavor. I predict Charlotte Flair will cheat to 2012 01:54:22.119 --> 01:54:26.279 win against Tiffany Stratton. I could see that she struggles 2013 01:54:26.319 --> 01:54:29.319 against the rookie. You know, Tiffany ends up being a 2014 01:54:29.359 --> 01:54:32.039 tougher challenge than she expected, but in the end, she 2015 01:54:33.800 --> 01:54:37.560 does what any good veteran would do. She cheats to win. 2016 01:54:39.760 --> 01:54:42.039 I think we're gonna have a fifteen time women's champion 2017 01:54:42.079 --> 01:54:44.960 this weekend, and I think that these two are going 2018 01:54:45.039 --> 01:54:48.359 to continue to feud until the Evolution pl in July, 2019 01:54:49.159 --> 01:54:51.119 and that is where Tiffany will win the belt back. 2020 01:54:51.520 --> 01:54:56.960 It's my prediction an Evolution show. They still haven't announced, 2021 01:54:56.960 --> 01:55:01.560 by the way, but it does sound like it's gonna happen. Honey, 2022 01:55:01.600 --> 01:55:07.199 deep Fried Chicken, thank you again. Duff's VIDs with the 2023 01:55:07.279 --> 01:55:12.399 nineteen ninety nine two blonds are standing on opposite sides 2024 01:55:12.399 --> 01:55:16.239 of a river. The first blonde is asked, how do 2025 01:55:16.359 --> 01:55:18.960 you get on the other side. The second blonde says, 2026 01:55:19.119 --> 01:55:27.159 don't be stupid, You're already there. Get ready for jokes 2027 01:55:27.319 --> 01:55:30.520 for WRESTLVANDIA forty one, Night one and two. Hope Sidrow 2028 01:55:30.560 --> 01:55:34.359 and others help out. I don't know if I don't 2029 01:55:34.359 --> 01:55:36.800 know where Psycho Cidrow is going to be this weekend, 2030 01:55:36.840 --> 01:55:45.880 but I'm sure you'll do your part to cover for him. Honey, 2031 01:55:45.920 --> 01:55:48.199 deep Fried Chicken ww. We will be tempted to give 2032 01:55:48.239 --> 01:55:53.000 Penta the Intercontinental title. They'll be tempted, and I'm gonna 2033 01:55:53.000 --> 01:56:02.119 say that they don't. I think Dom's gonna win Nail 2034 01:56:02.399 --> 01:56:05.319 with a ten dollars super chat. Excuse me, Hey, Solo 2035 01:56:05.359 --> 01:56:08.239 got a chance to tune in live on a rare occasion. 2036 01:56:08.640 --> 01:56:10.159 Just want to say thank you for all you do 2037 01:56:10.199 --> 01:56:13.039 and keeping me company at work during the week Been 2038 01:56:13.039 --> 01:56:16.079 a fan for about two years now and you are 2039 01:56:16.199 --> 01:56:20.279 the goat. Thank you, Nail. I'm glad I can keep 2040 01:56:20.319 --> 01:56:25.199 you company during those boring hours at work. Sometimes people 2041 01:56:25.279 --> 01:56:30.000 just need something to listen to. That's why I'm here 2042 01:56:35.039 --> 01:56:39.279 a Rabi Knight. If Raymisterio is injured, which obviously looks 2043 01:56:39.279 --> 01:56:42.079 like he heard his ankle badly. In my opinion, they 2044 01:56:42.079 --> 01:56:44.680 should scrap the Gable match and put the SmackDown tag 2045 01:56:44.720 --> 01:56:51.239 team titled TLC match. There no no, First of all, 2046 01:56:51.279 --> 01:56:53.279 you don't fuck over Chad Gable like that. I don't 2047 01:56:53.319 --> 01:56:58.560 like that. That's number one. Number two. How long? How 2048 01:56:58.600 --> 01:57:01.720 long was the mysterio Gable Man's gonna be ten to 2049 01:57:01.760 --> 01:57:05.920 twelve minutes? Max? You do a TLC match, You got 2050 01:57:05.920 --> 01:57:09.960 to give that at least fifteen to twenty. You know, 2051 01:57:10.000 --> 01:57:12.560 they made their bed. You know, they said the TLC 2052 01:57:12.680 --> 01:57:15.960 match has already been announced for SmackDown next week. It's 2053 01:57:16.000 --> 01:57:26.199 not happening a WrestleMania. Hey, eighty six Mets fan, there 2054 01:57:26.239 --> 01:57:28.239 should be if you're watching right now, there should be 2055 01:57:28.239 --> 01:57:31.399 a subscribe button somewhere below. All you got to do 2056 01:57:31.439 --> 01:57:34.520 is hit it. That's it, and you'll be subscribed. It's 2057 01:57:34.640 --> 01:57:40.479 just that simple. Yeah. I mean again, how long do 2058 01:57:40.520 --> 01:57:43.119 you think Ray and Penta or whoever ray in Penter, 2059 01:57:43.399 --> 01:57:47.800 Ray and Gable or anybody in Gable? If Ray has 2060 01:57:47.800 --> 01:57:50.399 to be replaced by Phoenix or somebody, how long, honestly 2061 01:57:50.399 --> 01:57:54.119 do you think that's gonna get I said ten to twelve. 2062 01:57:54.199 --> 01:57:56.199 It might not even get that much, maybe eight to ten. 2063 01:57:57.159 --> 01:57:58.840 There's no way it's going to go longer than that. 2064 01:58:00.000 --> 01:58:02.000 You're not gonna do a TLC match in ten minutes, 2065 01:58:06.239 --> 01:58:09.000 King bling blah. Why do you think the referees put 2066 01:58:09.000 --> 01:58:12.079 on gloves when a wrestler bleeds. The opponent doesn't put 2067 01:58:12.079 --> 01:58:17.520 on gloves, So why is the referee And thoughts on 2068 01:58:17.520 --> 01:58:19.800 the wrestle Mania forty one set. I already talked about 2069 01:58:19.800 --> 01:58:23.000 the WrestleMania forty one set. As far as the gloves, again, 2070 01:58:23.000 --> 01:58:26.880 it's a safety measure. The opponent can't put gloves on 2071 01:58:26.920 --> 01:58:32.239 because they're in the middle of wrestling, and honestly, if 2072 01:58:32.279 --> 01:58:35.039 your opponent is bleeding, especially if there's a significant amount 2073 01:58:35.039 --> 01:58:37.920 of blood, you're gonna get blood on yourself. Like there's 2074 01:58:37.920 --> 01:58:41.439 nothing you could do about it. The referee, though they're 2075 01:58:41.479 --> 01:58:43.399 instructed to put gloves on. It is just part of 2076 01:58:43.399 --> 01:58:46.319 the safety protocol because they're in a position to be 2077 01:58:46.359 --> 01:58:48.760 able to do so. You know, the other wrestler isn't 2078 01:58:49.399 --> 01:58:52.920 once they're already wearing gloves. Some wrestlers wear gloves. If 2079 01:58:52.960 --> 01:58:54.760 Sting was in the ring, he'd already have gloves on. 2080 01:58:55.800 --> 01:58:57.960 Seth Rollins when he used to be part of the shield, right, 2081 01:58:57.960 --> 01:59:02.960 he had gloves on Undertai your head gloves on. But 2082 01:59:03.039 --> 01:59:08.560 it's it's just a safety measure. Duff's viz. My uncle 2083 01:59:08.600 --> 01:59:12.000 took my weed, so I took his wheelchair. If I'm 2084 01:59:12.039 --> 01:59:20.239 not rolling, neither is he. That's kind of mean. I 2085 01:59:20.399 --> 01:59:31.000 like it, Thank you, Duffs Viz. Prince Vegeta ninety five. 2086 01:59:31.399 --> 01:59:35.199 What's your thoughts on WrestleMania in nineteen? My favorite WrestleMania. 2087 01:59:35.239 --> 01:59:37.920 He says, it's got three great matches Y two JHBK 2088 01:59:38.199 --> 01:59:41.760 Rock Austin and Angel Lesner and Vince Hogan was wild. 2089 01:59:42.279 --> 01:59:44.880 The Booker Triple h match was also decent until the 2090 01:59:44.920 --> 01:59:52.800 infamous ending. I like WrestleMania in nineteen. It's very surprising 2091 01:59:53.960 --> 01:59:57.520 that it got such a low by rate, Like if 2092 01:59:57.520 --> 01:59:59.800 you look at WrestleMania by rates, you look at seventeen 2093 01:59:59.840 --> 02:00:05.279 eight nineteen, you see the dip. But the show was 2094 02:00:05.359 --> 02:00:09.960 loaded with big matches, so it always was very confusing 2095 02:00:10.000 --> 02:00:13.840 to me. But they also built the show around Hogan 2096 02:00:14.000 --> 02:00:17.600 and McMahon, Like if you saw the advertising for the show, 2097 02:00:18.359 --> 02:00:20.479 you would never know that Angle and Lesner was the 2098 02:00:20.520 --> 02:00:23.920 main event on that show. They weren't pushing that they 2099 02:00:23.920 --> 02:00:26.399 weren't pushing Rock Austin as like the biggest match. It 2100 02:00:26.399 --> 02:00:29.640 was all about Hogan and McMahon, and so maybe people 2101 02:00:29.680 --> 02:00:31.319 looked at that and were like, eh, you know what, 2102 02:00:32.159 --> 02:00:34.600 you're building a show around these two old geezers wrestling 2103 02:00:34.640 --> 02:00:39.159 each other. Maybe we don't want to see that. Maybe 2104 02:00:39.199 --> 02:00:42.079 that had something to do with it, But there were 2105 02:00:42.079 --> 02:00:49.039 a ton of big matches on that show. Bas Beer says, WHOA, 2106 02:00:50.680 --> 02:00:56.079 oh yeah, of course. Wrestle Mania. I love the WrestleMania jingle. 2107 02:00:56.199 --> 02:00:58.760 The WrestleMania song is awesome. I wish they still used it. 2108 02:01:03.359 --> 02:01:07.239 Bes Beer says, aka Linda McMahon's theme, no no, no, no, no, 2109 02:01:08.079 --> 02:01:11.079 forget her. It was the WrestleMania theme long before Linda 2110 02:01:11.159 --> 02:01:16.880 started using it. Nick Grosso says, also, did you see 2111 02:01:16.880 --> 02:01:20.399 bron Breaker do his own version of Steiner Math? I 2112 02:01:20.439 --> 02:01:23.960 heard about it, I did not see it. Arabian Night 2113 02:01:25.439 --> 02:01:29.439 or Alistair Black debuts against Gable on Night one, an 2114 02:01:29.479 --> 02:01:35.520 easy win. Now it doesn't work. It's gonna be el 2115 02:01:35.560 --> 02:01:39.000 Gerande Americano. He has to wrestle. He has to wrestle 2116 02:01:39.039 --> 02:01:43.720 a luchador, otherwise it doesn't work. Alistair Black is not 2117 02:01:43.760 --> 02:01:49.159 a luchador. Unless you know something I don't. He's the 2118 02:01:49.199 --> 02:01:53.680 weirdest looking luchador I've ever seen. If he is, honey 2119 02:01:53.680 --> 02:01:57.119 deep Fried Chickens says, just imagine Gunther and jay Usso's 2120 02:01:57.119 --> 02:02:00.520 match ends with Gunther intentionally chopping the referee and causing 2121 02:02:00.520 --> 02:02:04.079 a disqualification. Guntherer pulls an Orton versa two thousand and 2122 02:02:04.119 --> 02:02:09.079 eight no way out finish. He chops the referee and 2123 02:02:09.119 --> 02:02:12.439 then smiles as he calls for the DQ. You know 2124 02:02:12.520 --> 02:02:17.039 what would happen. I think the fans would cheer. I 2125 02:02:17.079 --> 02:02:22.319 think the fans would cheer that. Of course, that just 2126 02:02:22.319 --> 02:02:24.840 means we would end up with another Gunther jay Uso 2127 02:02:24.920 --> 02:02:28.680 match at Backlash. I don't need to see that. It 2128 02:02:28.760 --> 02:02:32.000 needs to end tomorrow. This will be the fourth match 2129 02:02:32.039 --> 02:02:33.880 they have. How many matches do you want them to have? 2130 02:02:39.680 --> 02:02:43.319 Jeremy Rose go bold cross money in the bank winner. 2131 02:02:46.159 --> 02:02:48.439 That is bold because I don't see it happening, But 2132 02:02:48.520 --> 02:02:52.279 I mean I wouldn't necessarily be against it. There's still 2133 02:02:52.359 --> 02:02:54.239 time between now and money in the bank, though. Let's 2134 02:02:54.239 --> 02:02:58.319 see what they do with him. Also, it says crazy 2135 02:02:58.359 --> 02:03:02.000 thought on Orton he loses to the mystery opponent, maybe russev. 2136 02:03:02.600 --> 02:03:05.600 This makes him snap and complain how he was screwed 2137 02:03:05.680 --> 02:03:09.039 for his twenty year WrestleMania Anniversary. He ends up going 2138 02:03:09.079 --> 02:03:13.840 crazy and attacks Cody, setting up a feud at Backlash. 2139 02:03:14.399 --> 02:03:18.880 Now I see that it's very disconnected, Like, I see 2140 02:03:18.880 --> 02:03:22.359 what you're going for there, But what does one have 2141 02:03:22.399 --> 02:03:26.239 to do with the other. Like if he gets screwed 2142 02:03:26.279 --> 02:03:31.840 in his twentieth anniversary, maatche, why would he attack Cody? 2143 02:03:33.399 --> 02:03:35.279 And you're gonna You're gonna turn him heel before they 2144 02:03:35.319 --> 02:03:45.680 go to Saint Louis. Come on, can't do that, oznglorious. 2145 02:03:47.319 --> 02:03:49.840 So when Vince makes his return to the FED this weekend, 2146 02:03:49.880 --> 02:03:54.159 will the crowd boo or cheer? And how will that 2147 02:03:54.359 --> 02:04:00.159 shameless Phil Brooks justify it? I know the fans will bow. Wow, 2148 02:04:00.399 --> 02:04:03.399 That's usually what they do, right they do the bow, 2149 02:04:04.840 --> 02:04:08.880 they'll bow. Bobby means what I think happens as Rio 2150 02:04:08.960 --> 02:04:10.960 wins back the title, and I believe this is where 2151 02:04:11.000 --> 02:04:13.159 Beanca turns heal and we get the build up with 2152 02:04:13.279 --> 02:04:25.920 Rhea and Bianca. So that is Bobby's prediction. Lord Friza, 2153 02:04:26.560 --> 02:04:29.199 my god, we haven't heard from Lord Friza in a while. 2154 02:04:29.920 --> 02:04:32.720 My liver and myself are ready for WrestleMania. I hope 2155 02:04:32.720 --> 02:04:35.399 all is well, Solemn Monster. Much love to you as well. 2156 02:04:36.079 --> 02:04:42.600 It's good to hear from you. Eight nine Tech saw 2157 02:04:42.640 --> 02:04:45.960 some old highlights of Raw from three Unmasked. Caine was 2158 02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:49.439 so over as a heal monster. How WWE didn't put 2159 02:04:49.479 --> 02:04:54.439 the belt on him back then is beyond me. Well, 2160 02:04:54.680 --> 02:05:00.960 let's see two thousand and three Raw who had the 2161 02:05:01.000 --> 02:05:08.720 belt at the time. I wonder that might help tell 2162 02:05:08.760 --> 02:05:12.159 the tale. Duffs VID's what do you get when you 2163 02:05:12.279 --> 02:05:22.840 rub two oranges together? Pulp friction? My god, my goodness, 2164 02:05:23.520 --> 02:05:27.840 where do you come up with these? Where do you 2165 02:05:27.840 --> 02:05:30.640 come up with these? Groovy goose? I'm sure working with 2166 02:05:30.760 --> 02:05:34.399 Vince hurt most of them. But which WWE announcers released 2167 02:05:34.520 --> 02:05:38.000 or left in the past decade would you like to 2168 02:05:38.039 --> 02:05:49.960 see in the current era in the last decade? Mara Ronaldo? 2169 02:05:54.399 --> 02:05:57.680 And when will Byron Saxton go into the Hall of Fame? 2170 02:06:00.279 --> 02:06:05.199 Not until he's retired. King Nator b RB activated, he 2171 02:06:05.279 --> 02:06:11.800 means bTB. It's be the booker, not be right back. 2172 02:06:11.840 --> 02:06:14.640 But we can thank King Nator and he's he's worthy 2173 02:06:14.680 --> 02:06:20.239 of another siren. He helped make it happen with a 2174 02:06:20.319 --> 02:06:23.920 fifty dollars bomb and yes, we are doing two rounds tonight. 2175 02:06:24.840 --> 02:06:31.079 Be the Booker Power Spine Games. The only booking Goldberg 2176 02:06:31.199 --> 02:06:35.720 may get this week is be the Booker. That's about it. 2177 02:06:36.520 --> 02:06:40.880 Duffs VID's what pronouns? Does chocolate go by her? She? 2178 02:06:44.439 --> 02:06:48.479 Thank God? Move on here. Justin g Hot take r 2179 02:06:48.560 --> 02:06:51.800 KO against either Joe Hendry or Steve Austin. Steve Austin, 2180 02:06:53.640 --> 02:06:58.760 well you must be on the good stuff. I need 2181 02:06:58.800 --> 02:07:01.600 to take part whatever you've got going on over there. 2182 02:07:01.760 --> 02:07:07.640 Justin King Nader, that last one I botched hard. Yeah, 2183 02:07:07.760 --> 02:07:12.239 there we go, Yes, says Be the Booker. Activated. I 2184 02:07:12.279 --> 02:07:14.359 feel better now. He had to send another super chat 2185 02:07:14.439 --> 02:07:22.479 to correct his mistake. I respect that Zachary Black with 2186 02:07:22.560 --> 02:07:25.359 the twenty dollars super chat. Hey Solo, I'm stuck at 2187 02:07:25.359 --> 02:07:27.159 work tonight, and I just want to say thank you 2188 02:07:27.199 --> 02:07:31.920 for your review, because while I do want to watch 2189 02:07:32.159 --> 02:07:36.039 smacketh Down, I cannot show up tired to the lunch 2190 02:07:36.199 --> 02:07:41.279 with my sisters. Tired too, love to he means to 2191 02:07:41.479 --> 02:07:45.000 lunch with my sister. Man, you guys are confusing me 2192 02:07:45.039 --> 02:07:47.800 with some of these super chats. Much love, dude, peace. 2193 02:07:49.560 --> 02:07:51.720 Well that's the most important part. Much love to you 2194 02:07:51.760 --> 02:07:57.800 as well, Zachary. I had to read that twice. I 2195 02:07:57.880 --> 02:08:01.399 hope you enjoy the review. Uh Anthony says, is new 2196 02:08:01.479 --> 02:08:07.479 day at Mania do to Biggie's surprise return? I mean, 2197 02:08:08.960 --> 02:08:14.840 do I believe Biggie is returning WrestleMania to do? What? 2198 02:08:14.840 --> 02:08:23.840 What's he gonna do? No? I don't think so. Justin 2199 02:08:23.920 --> 02:08:27.199 says it's the it's the rot gut Bourbon. What the 2200 02:08:27.239 --> 02:08:33.359 hell is that it'll rot your gut? That doesn't sound 2201 02:08:33.399 --> 02:08:40.760 like a good time. Bass Beers is round three gives 2202 02:08:40.760 --> 02:08:46.640 no context. Yes, Steph Fox says it looks like Zach is. 2203 02:08:47.000 --> 02:08:49.840 It looks like hold. I say, because it looks like 2204 02:08:49.960 --> 02:08:55.479 Zach is already tired. You know what that's true? Zach? 2205 02:08:55.560 --> 02:08:57.319 Based on your super chat, I think I think you're 2206 02:08:57.359 --> 02:09:05.840 already very tired. Buddy Troe says, Hey, Solo, can't wait 2207 02:09:05.880 --> 02:09:09.079 to attend my tenth WrestleMania. I'm thankful for the Facebook group. 2208 02:09:09.119 --> 02:09:11.920 You are our tribal chief and we acknowledge you. Well, 2209 02:09:12.000 --> 02:09:13.640 let me see the ones in the chat if you 2210 02:09:13.720 --> 02:09:22.760 acknowledge your tribal chief. SMG kobe Ilyya Dragonov surprise return 2211 02:09:22.840 --> 02:09:27.279 for Randy. Possibly, it's an interesting one. I hadn't thought 2212 02:09:27.279 --> 02:09:30.199 about that. I believe he is cleared to return. I 2213 02:09:30.239 --> 02:09:34.479 believe I just assumed they were saving him for post WrestleMania. 2214 02:09:35.439 --> 02:09:38.119 I don't think it's him, but I do think that 2215 02:09:38.159 --> 02:09:47.720 would be a kick ass match. Zachary Black Alexa Bliss 2216 02:09:47.760 --> 02:09:51.920 against Randy Orton. Well, she did blind him once with 2217 02:09:51.960 --> 02:09:55.560 a fireball, so it's possible. It's not like she has 2218 02:09:55.560 --> 02:10:01.680 a WrestleMania match. Hallelujah said with a two dollars super chet, 2219 02:10:01.760 --> 02:10:10.680 Thank you. Broley Cross Money is as a manager, in 2220 02:10:10.760 --> 02:10:17.239 my opinion, like a callous type. Uh. You know, I 2221 02:10:17.239 --> 02:10:18.840 think you can do more with him. You know, when 2222 02:10:18.880 --> 02:10:22.920 I thought he was at his I want to say best, 2223 02:10:23.039 --> 02:10:26.439 but I enjoyed it when he was sort of the 2224 02:10:27.079 --> 02:10:31.439 bodyguard guy and he was all dressed up with the 2225 02:10:31.439 --> 02:10:38.640 bald head in TNA Killer Cross. I think that's what 2226 02:10:38.760 --> 02:10:44.840 I liked him the most. Base Beer is Summer Fest 2227 02:10:45.000 --> 02:10:53.479 twenty twenty five theme Cardi B Wap by Cardi B 2228 02:10:55.840 --> 02:11:00.239 justin g Oh God, No, what if it's rock and Orton? No, 2229 02:11:00.600 --> 02:11:02.279 you don't have to worry about that because it's not 2230 02:11:02.319 --> 02:11:08.239 going to be. Also, he says, I was hoping as 2231 02:11:08.239 --> 02:11:13.039 Cody built up. I was hoping as Cody built up 2232 02:11:13.039 --> 02:11:18.000 and up, he was going to throw out a fine speech. 2233 02:11:18.199 --> 02:11:28.279 But you didn't get all of it. Thanks solo Monster. Yeah, 2234 02:11:28.680 --> 02:11:34.800 JP agrees with me. We need bald headed crossback. Base 2235 02:11:34.840 --> 02:11:39.039 Beer's sting wore white face paint. Pale would have worked. 2236 02:11:40.880 --> 02:11:43.399 Apparently he was too pale to win the World Championship 2237 02:11:43.439 --> 02:11:49.920 that night. Go figure, after eighteen months of build he 2238 02:11:49.960 --> 02:11:54.520 didn't have a ten. Bas Beer is just like AJ 2239 02:11:54.720 --> 02:11:57.920 criticizing Hogan for not promoting TNA. I thought Rock and 2240 02:11:57.960 --> 02:11:59.600 Sena we're going to do a lot of media and 2241 02:11:59.600 --> 02:12:04.720 promote the business in the mainstream. Boy were you wrong? Boy? 2242 02:12:04.760 --> 02:12:07.119 Were you wrong? Yeah? No, we didn't get any of that, 2243 02:12:07.159 --> 02:12:12.600 did we. We didn't even get the social media promos 2244 02:12:12.600 --> 02:12:14.439 from Sena that we got with Rock last year. At 2245 02:12:14.520 --> 02:12:16.199 least when Rock wasn't there, he would have a new 2246 02:12:16.279 --> 02:12:19.239 drop on Instagram every week. We have got nothing from Sena. 2247 02:12:25.159 --> 02:12:28.880 The average grunt was the starkad reference a Jabbitts sting 2248 02:12:28.960 --> 02:12:32.239 for not inducting Luger or am I looking too deep 2249 02:12:32.279 --> 02:12:36.159 into it? You're looking way too deep into it. It was 2250 02:12:36.199 --> 02:12:40.520 not a dig it sting. It was a dig and 2251 02:12:40.600 --> 02:12:45.560 a dumb story and a dumb excuse as far as 2252 02:12:45.600 --> 02:12:47.560 why Sting did not win the world title all those 2253 02:12:47.640 --> 02:12:58.760 years ago. Nightmare knee with the ten dollars super chat. 2254 02:12:58.840 --> 02:13:02.119 I'm sorry, I can't stand seth rawlins. He reminds me 2255 02:13:02.199 --> 02:13:05.600 of early two thousands triple H boring promos, but cool 2256 02:13:05.760 --> 02:13:08.439 entrance he has, go to sleep heat with me. Great 2257 02:13:08.479 --> 02:13:15.199 in the ring though, all speaking of go to sleep 2258 02:13:15.199 --> 02:13:23.600 heat with me. Fuck that tree. The learning Tree has 2259 02:13:23.680 --> 02:13:32.760 crashed the party. Thank you, Michael. Number one almost safe 2260 02:13:32.920 --> 02:13:36.840 and Wild prediction. Paul Hayman forms a new dangerous alliance 2261 02:13:36.880 --> 02:13:41.840 with Omas Hikuleo and Tangaloa after being bullied by punk 2262 02:13:42.000 --> 02:13:50.960 rains and rollins. That's pretty wild. That'll be the nicest 2263 02:13:50.960 --> 02:13:56.720 thing I say about it. Dark Effect with the thirty 2264 02:13:57.680 --> 02:14:02.239 Sena said after his match with Theory, what we saw 2265 02:14:02.640 --> 02:14:05.920 was all he had in the tank. So if the 2266 02:14:05.960 --> 02:14:07.760 match is going to be any good, it's due to 2267 02:14:07.760 --> 02:14:11.359 Cody being a better wrestler than Sena ever was, or 2268 02:14:11.600 --> 02:14:15.319 it is being very overbooked. Well, I'm sure there'll be 2269 02:14:15.359 --> 02:14:17.800 some overbooking with the finish, I don't think it's going 2270 02:14:17.880 --> 02:14:21.119 to be as overbooked. As last year's main event was. 2271 02:14:21.159 --> 02:14:24.840 It was overbooked on purpose and it was great. I 2272 02:14:24.840 --> 02:14:27.640 think we may need some smoking bears for this match 2273 02:14:27.800 --> 02:14:33.039 for sure. Ricky Cornflakes. Who's winning in the playoffs? New 2274 02:14:33.119 --> 02:14:37.560 York or Detroit, New York? Of course, Alexander says, I 2275 02:14:37.560 --> 02:14:41.039 need to see Travis get his ass whooped by Cody. 2276 02:14:41.119 --> 02:14:44.159 He may have a receipt coming tomorrow or Sunday. I 2277 02:14:44.159 --> 02:14:46.560 guess he's supposed to be there. I don't know if 2278 02:14:46.600 --> 02:14:50.000 he's performing, but he's supposed to be there. His song 2279 02:14:50.119 --> 02:14:52.520 is like the WrestleMania theme song this year, so he 2280 02:14:52.600 --> 02:15:00.800 might even perform it live. I mean, there's been talked 2281 02:15:00.840 --> 02:15:04.119 that Slayer might perform Damien Pre's theme song alive, although 2282 02:15:04.119 --> 02:15:07.960 that's not confirmed. Cultiv Personality is going to be performed 2283 02:15:07.960 --> 02:15:11.479 by Living Color for CMPUNK, but I did see that 2284 02:15:11.520 --> 02:15:15.359 there was talk that Slayer might possibly perform for a 2285 02:15:15.439 --> 02:15:20.319 Damien presentrance. Tanga Loa super fan, Oh my god, somebody 2286 02:15:20.359 --> 02:15:25.319 said his name and he appeared. Some argue that Tonga 2287 02:15:25.359 --> 02:15:29.600 Loa is the modern day Brett Hart. Both come from 2288 02:15:29.720 --> 02:15:33.399 family dynasties one tag team titles with Family and are 2289 02:15:33.439 --> 02:15:36.039 known as the best in ring wrestlers of their generation. 2290 02:15:37.600 --> 02:15:41.720 Maybe he should be called Tanga the hitman loa. Now 2291 02:15:41.800 --> 02:15:44.680 you just shut your mouth with that. Okay, you keep 2292 02:15:44.720 --> 02:15:47.720 your mouth shut or I'm gonna throw you out of here. 2293 02:15:49.119 --> 02:15:57.039 I will not stand any of that slander. Now you've 2294 02:15:57.079 --> 02:16:02.560 crossed the line. EJ Slam. It won't be him, nor 2295 02:16:02.600 --> 02:16:05.039 should it be him. But imagine if Orton's opponent was 2296 02:16:05.239 --> 02:16:14.439 Vegas native Matt Riddle. I think he's in town. What 2297 02:16:14.640 --> 02:16:17.680 is the background song right now? That's what Nick wants 2298 02:16:17.680 --> 02:16:21.960 to know. It's called a hard line. Hard line by 2299 02:16:22.039 --> 02:16:27.800 Sandman retro Koh math is too hard. Fifteen plus fifteen 2300 02:16:27.800 --> 02:16:34.920 equals thirty, but sixteen plus sixteen equals thirty two thirty 2301 02:16:35.040 --> 02:16:42.440 Comma to yeah, okay, all right, my god, we got 2302 02:16:42.479 --> 02:16:46.280 all these amateur comedians now hit man loa. Yeah you 2303 02:16:46.440 --> 02:16:50.879 like that? Huh? We got the hitman emojis. In the 2304 02:16:50.959 --> 02:16:58.959 chat for our channel members, Drew Johnson, Drew Johnson is 2305 02:16:58.959 --> 02:17:06.360 with us? Where is the Rock? Says this story doesn't work. 2306 02:17:07.079 --> 02:17:10.040 The Rocks started all of this. Sina winning this match 2307 02:17:10.120 --> 02:17:14.399 is week. HBK never chased being the champion. When he 2308 02:17:14.479 --> 02:17:24.280 got clean, he just put everyone else over. He never 2309 02:17:24.399 --> 02:17:27.559 chased being the champion when he got clean. It's true 2310 02:17:28.120 --> 02:17:29.920 he only won the world title once and that was 2311 02:17:29.959 --> 02:17:32.319 because they just wanted to give him that moment at 2312 02:17:32.360 --> 02:17:36.360 Madison Square Garden, and he never held another world championship 2313 02:17:36.399 --> 02:17:40.600 after that. He was a tag team champion. I think 2314 02:17:40.639 --> 02:17:44.200 he was a tag team champion twice. Wasn't he with 2315 02:17:44.280 --> 02:17:46.040 Triple H and then with John Cena. Didn't they win 2316 02:17:46.079 --> 02:17:54.680 the titles before WrestleMania twenty three? Actually, wasn't he the chap? 2317 02:17:54.760 --> 02:17:56.879 Weren't they the tag team champions when they wrestled at 2318 02:17:56.920 --> 02:18:04.799 WrestleMania twenty three? I thought they were Arabian night Matt 2319 02:18:04.879 --> 02:18:14.200 Riddle returns against Randy rk Brow reunion, Timothy Tillis renewing 2320 02:18:14.239 --> 02:18:17.840 his Channel membership. I'd love to see it, Ritchie. They 2321 02:18:17.879 --> 02:18:21.120 made a Triple H bronze statue at the Hall of Fame. 2322 02:18:21.200 --> 02:18:25.520 Oh I saw it. Oh No, Maybe I'm thinking of 2323 02:18:25.559 --> 02:18:27.959 something else. You're talking about a bronze statue. I saw 2324 02:18:27.959 --> 02:18:33.319 a wax figure of Triple H. This is the thing 2325 02:18:33.399 --> 02:18:39.879 of this is the stuff of nightmares. I didn't see 2326 02:18:39.879 --> 02:18:46.280 the bronze statue though. Cecil Robinson attended my first smack 2327 02:18:46.319 --> 02:18:50.040 down looking forward to both WrestleMania and Raw Vegas is 2328 02:18:50.079 --> 02:18:53.159 pretty cool so far. Well enjoy it, brother. I've been 2329 02:18:53.239 --> 02:18:56.120 to Vegas a couple of times and I enjoyed it 2330 02:18:56.159 --> 02:18:59.040 both times. I'd love to go back and didn't make 2331 02:18:59.079 --> 02:19:10.879 it this year, but have fun, man that way. That 2332 02:19:10.959 --> 02:19:14.319 wax figure was horrified. It's it, dude, it is you 2333 02:19:14.360 --> 02:19:20.840 know what. I gotta find it now. Hold on a second. So, 2334 02:19:20.879 --> 02:19:24.399 I'm sure some people didn't see it, and so why 2335 02:19:24.399 --> 02:19:28.000 should I be the only one sharing in this? In 2336 02:19:28.040 --> 02:19:36.959 this nightmare? This thing, this thing is just ah my god, 2337 02:19:37.840 --> 02:19:43.200 this is just ridiculous. What is it even doing there? Like, 2338 02:19:43.239 --> 02:19:49.319 why would they have a wax figure? God, it's doing 2339 02:19:49.319 --> 02:19:56.440 the triple ah point? Hold on, people, people need to 2340 02:19:56.440 --> 02:20:01.639 see this. This is absolutely terrifying. I actually have two 2341 02:20:01.639 --> 02:20:06.799 pictures of it. I think the second one is worse. Anyway, 2342 02:20:06.799 --> 02:20:12.239 we'll bring that up here in a little bit. Let's 2343 02:20:12.280 --> 02:20:16.520 keep going here. Michael Darcy, hey, solo, do you have 2344 02:20:16.559 --> 02:20:20.120 any interest in catching any GCW or indie events this week? 2345 02:20:20.600 --> 02:20:23.159 Have the indie shows at wrestle Media Weekend? That jumped 2346 02:20:23.200 --> 02:20:26.639 the shark after watching Joey Janella versus Saboo, I think 2347 02:20:26.680 --> 02:20:28.440 so uh oh, was that as bad as I thought 2348 02:20:28.440 --> 02:20:32.760 it would be? No, not this week, because I'm just 2349 02:20:32.799 --> 02:20:35.079 so I'm so busy with everything else. Dude, I just 2350 02:20:35.120 --> 02:20:38.319 haven't had I just haven't had the time to even 2351 02:20:38.360 --> 02:20:44.879 think about any of the other ones at people reaching 2352 02:20:44.879 --> 02:20:47.079 out to me about the Progress show the other night, 2353 02:20:47.120 --> 02:20:51.840 I just haven't had time. It's not for lack of interest, 2354 02:20:51.920 --> 02:20:55.079 but there's just so much going on in only so 2355 02:20:55.159 --> 02:21:00.239 much time. Eight nine Tech Which wrestle media match did 2356 02:21:00.239 --> 02:21:04.719 you have the least expectations for but over delivered? In 2357 02:21:04.760 --> 02:21:09.559 which one you had high expectations for but under delivered? 2358 02:21:09.879 --> 02:21:13.239 I definitely had higher expectations for AJ and knakham Moora 2359 02:21:13.840 --> 02:21:15.719 at thirty four. I don't know if that's like the 2360 02:21:15.760 --> 02:21:17.680 only one, but that's the one I always think of, 2361 02:21:19.319 --> 02:21:23.920 the one I went into with very low expectations. I 2362 02:21:23.959 --> 02:21:29.079 don't know. I don't know what did I go into 2363 02:21:29.479 --> 02:21:35.799 super low expectations that kind of blew me away? I 2364 02:21:35.840 --> 02:21:39.520 have to think about that. I don't know. If the 2365 02:21:39.520 --> 02:21:42.319 top of my head, I don't know. Plus Ultra Adrian, 2366 02:21:42.360 --> 02:21:44.719 my sister went to New Orleans last week and loved it. 2367 02:21:44.760 --> 02:21:47.120 Since WrestleMania is going to be there next year. I 2368 02:21:47.159 --> 02:21:51.559 may actually go and experience New Orleans. You should. New 2369 02:21:51.639 --> 02:21:54.520 Orleans is great. That's another one. You're gonna have a 2370 02:21:54.520 --> 02:21:58.280 lot of fun there. I'll probably be there next year again. 2371 02:21:58.319 --> 02:22:03.040 I've been there twice. Both times were WrestleMania. Blue Jay says, 2372 02:22:03.040 --> 02:22:10.920 who knows sells better, Gypsy Joe or Hogan? Probably Gypsy Joe. 2373 02:22:11.760 --> 02:22:14.280 Tangolo a superfan. The world would be a better place 2374 02:22:14.319 --> 02:22:20.399 if everyone had a little Tangaloa in their lives. You know, 2375 02:22:20.479 --> 02:22:24.159 I've said it before, Tangaloa. As he continues to rehab 2376 02:22:24.360 --> 02:22:27.760 from his injury, he probably has a lot of downtime, 2377 02:22:28.719 --> 02:22:34.040 and we found his burner account here. So everybody welcome Tangaloa. 2378 02:22:34.120 --> 02:22:37.040 We wish you nothing but the best. Take all the 2379 02:22:37.079 --> 02:22:41.520 time you need. Brandon Proctor with thirty five months of 2380 02:22:41.600 --> 02:22:45.200 channel membership, hoping it's russev Day on Sunday. Also, Sina 2381 02:22:45.239 --> 02:22:50.440 wins number seventeen and Rollins joins with Hayman calling it 2382 02:22:50.520 --> 02:22:58.760 now very possible. Stal a monster scream going to outlast 2383 02:22:58.799 --> 02:23:05.399 the Hall of Fame tonight. How's that going? Somebody in 2384 02:23:05.440 --> 02:23:07.639 the chat said, Michelle McCool is still talking? Has she 2385 02:23:07.719 --> 02:23:10.520 been talking for a long time. Would you rather listen 2386 02:23:10.559 --> 02:23:16.280 to Michelle McCool or me Doctor Scorpio. At the time, 2387 02:23:16.440 --> 02:23:19.559 I honestly thought for some reason WrestleMania was last week 2388 02:23:19.799 --> 02:23:22.760 until I realized it was this week. Shows how much 2389 02:23:22.799 --> 02:23:26.040 I've been paying attention or invested in wrestling these days. Well. Also, 2390 02:23:26.079 --> 02:23:29.040 WrestleMania usually doesn't happen this late, so, to be fair, 2391 02:23:31.399 --> 02:23:34.520 typically by now it would have been over. So if 2392 02:23:34.520 --> 02:23:44.520 you haven't been paying attention, it's not that surprising. Michelle 2393 02:23:44.600 --> 02:23:52.159 McCool is still talking. Hey eighty six Mets fan, you're 2394 02:23:52.159 --> 02:23:54.200 already here, brother, I see you. You're already here. Just 2395 02:23:54.559 --> 02:23:58.600 you being here is enough. I appreciate the support. He 2396 02:23:59.159 --> 02:24:02.040 hasn't been able to figure out how to support or subscribe. 2397 02:24:03.079 --> 02:24:06.879 He's an older fan. Somebody help him out. Help out. 2398 02:24:06.879 --> 02:24:11.600 One of our fellow members in the chat, is Bronson 2399 02:24:11.680 --> 02:24:17.399 Reid ready for a return? Yet? He is not, Unfortunately, 2400 02:24:18.799 --> 02:24:21.639 I don't think he will be until later this summer. 2401 02:24:21.639 --> 02:24:25.479 I mean, it was a pretty gnarly injury at Survivor Series, 2402 02:24:25.520 --> 02:24:28.879 so it's going to be a while yet before we 2403 02:24:28.920 --> 02:24:34.639 see him. Justin g tangaloa superfan, thought things were glittering 2404 02:24:34.879 --> 02:24:42.799 like gold but turns out it was just Micah or Camacho. 2405 02:24:45.159 --> 02:24:47.000 All right, well I warned you. I'm going to show 2406 02:24:47.000 --> 02:24:49.760 you this image of this wax figure. Don't say I 2407 02:24:49.760 --> 02:24:55.479 didn't warn you, and I have no idea whose idea 2408 02:24:55.559 --> 02:25:01.399 this was? Me make this a little bit bigger. Here 2409 02:25:03.000 --> 02:25:11.799 there he is, there's wax Triple H doing the finger point. 2410 02:25:13.120 --> 02:25:15.479 And as bad as this, hey, Reekinson, what's going on man? 2411 02:25:15.799 --> 02:25:18.200 And is as bad as that is, I'll give you 2412 02:25:18.200 --> 02:25:25.399 one even worse. My god, this is just so much words. 2413 02:25:26.559 --> 02:25:29.959 This looks like something out of total recall. Look at this, 2414 02:25:30.120 --> 02:25:32.600 My god, look at the eyes. Oh my god, who's 2415 02:25:32.639 --> 02:25:43.040 you remind me of? This is horrifying. That's terrible. I 2416 02:25:43.079 --> 02:25:45.520 don't know whose idea this was, but yeah, this is 2417 02:25:45.559 --> 02:25:49.520 this is pretty fucking bad. So I want this to 2418 02:25:49.520 --> 02:25:53.360 be your lasting image before your head hits the pillow tonight. 2419 02:25:55.799 --> 02:25:59.520 This is your new Hall of Fame inductee. This is 2420 02:25:59.600 --> 02:26:07.479 Triple H's evil Kojak. Well Kojak didn't have a beard 2421 02:26:07.600 --> 02:26:17.399 like that? Is this awful? Oh man? Anyway, who signed 2422 02:26:17.440 --> 02:26:19.840 off on this? Well, probably not Triple H, I'm guessing. 2423 02:26:20.959 --> 02:26:26.000 All right, let's get him out of there. Uh, power 2424 02:26:26.079 --> 02:26:30.959 spying Games. Eight year old me loved Michelle, but she's 2425 02:26:31.440 --> 02:26:37.280 she's taking too long. Well, this is her moment, and 2426 02:26:37.319 --> 02:26:39.600 I guess she's going to enjoy every second. And ain't 2427 02:26:39.639 --> 02:26:43.520 nobody gonna say anything to her because the Undertaker, I'm sure, 2428 02:26:43.559 --> 02:26:45.120 is not going to be too happy if they give 2429 02:26:45.120 --> 02:26:51.440 her the hook. Plus Ultra Adrian thanks Solo. Now I'm 2430 02:26:51.440 --> 02:26:57.719 going to gouge out my eyes. Jeremy says, would you 2431 02:26:57.920 --> 02:27:04.159 like to work for WWE after this week? No, Doctor Scorpio. 2432 02:27:04.239 --> 02:27:08.520 That statue needs some well deserved criticism. Yes, yes it does. 2433 02:27:09.840 --> 02:27:12.600 He may not like it, but you can absolutely go 2434 02:27:12.600 --> 02:27:18.120 ahead and criticize that statue. All right, Well, we hit 2435 02:27:18.159 --> 02:27:22.120 our supercheck goal much earlier in the night, and the 2436 02:27:22.159 --> 02:27:24.399 main goal is well six hundred and twenty two likes, 2437 02:27:24.440 --> 02:27:27.600 which is great. We could do better, though, let's beef 2438 02:27:27.639 --> 02:27:31.520 that up towards seven hundred. Richie says they did make 2439 02:27:31.600 --> 02:27:33.840 a bronze statue of Triple h so that he gets 2440 02:27:33.840 --> 02:27:38.559 a statue before Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin. He got 2441 02:27:38.600 --> 02:27:45.639 a statue and a wax figure. Interesting. I guess it 2442 02:27:45.680 --> 02:27:52.239 pays to be the boss. Let's be the booker, ladies 2443 02:27:52.239 --> 02:27:56.079 and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker. 2444 02:27:58.520 --> 02:28:05.799 It pays to be the boss man snow Dog. Is 2445 02:28:05.799 --> 02:28:08.639 that true? We have some catching up to do, he says. 2446 02:28:08.639 --> 02:28:12.559 The Hall of Fame on YouTube has twenty thousand likes. 2447 02:28:13.239 --> 02:28:18.879 We're lagging a little behind that. I would love to 2448 02:28:18.920 --> 02:28:21.079 have twenty thousand likes. Let's see if we can. Let's 2449 02:28:21.079 --> 02:28:24.959 see if we can get those likes up. All right, 2450 02:28:25.040 --> 02:28:28.879 be the booker time. This is round one of two. 2451 02:28:29.520 --> 02:28:31.879 Perhaps we will have many rounds this weekend. That's gonna 2452 02:28:31.879 --> 02:28:34.799 depend on you guys. But here on a Friday night, 2453 02:28:34.840 --> 02:28:39.280 early Saturday morning, let's kick off the first round here 2454 02:28:39.319 --> 02:28:43.719 with William Regal and Tajiri where Steve Austin used to 2455 02:28:43.799 --> 02:28:52.559 call him ty Jiri, former Raw tag team champions. Right there, Hey, 2456 02:28:52.680 --> 02:28:57.559 Navy forty one eighty one, thank you for the super chat. 2457 02:28:57.600 --> 02:29:02.959 That triple H statue needs a jet ski today, Yes, 2458 02:29:03.000 --> 02:29:07.760 it does. I spied you earlier in Navy forty one 2459 02:29:07.840 --> 02:29:10.600 eighty one. I happened to click on a live stream 2460 02:29:10.680 --> 02:29:13.120 that Conrad was doing with Eric Bischoff, and I saw 2461 02:29:13.159 --> 02:29:15.200 you dropped a super chat there too, So you've been 2462 02:29:15.360 --> 02:29:17.719 making the rounds today. It's good to hear from you, 2463 02:29:19.479 --> 02:29:27.399 regal Into Jerry against the Holly Cousins Hardcore and Crash. 2464 02:29:27.479 --> 02:29:30.200 I was a fan of the Holly Cousins and the 2465 02:29:30.239 --> 02:29:34.000 whole super heavyweight gimmick that Crash Ali did. And I 2466 02:29:34.040 --> 02:29:36.159 also liked the stuff that regal Into Jerry did. I 2467 02:29:36.200 --> 02:29:40.239 thought it was very entertaining. So that gets a bell. 2468 02:29:40.399 --> 02:29:47.559 That gets a thumbs up from me. All right, women's match, 2469 02:29:50.479 --> 02:29:57.760 Uh oh, Ronda Rousey wants a stipulation. She wants a 2470 02:29:57.760 --> 02:30:05.120 stipulation added right now or else or else what you'll 2471 02:30:05.120 --> 02:30:12.040 threaten to return? Okay, gotta pick a stip We're not 2472 02:30:12.079 --> 02:30:13.920 even waiting for round two. We gotta pick a stip 2473 02:30:13.959 --> 02:30:16.000 for this women's match. And it's going to be a 2474 02:30:16.120 --> 02:30:22.479 Texas death match. Oh my god, a Texas death match 2475 02:30:22.559 --> 02:30:32.959 with the ladies. This should be very interesting. Lida is 2476 02:30:33.000 --> 02:30:39.440 going to be in this Texas Death match. Lda is 2477 02:30:39.479 --> 02:30:45.159 gonna go one on one with Medusa.

We're gonna do 2501 02:32:47.159 --> 02:32:53.879 the women's match first. And the stipulation that I'm choosing 2502 02:32:56.120 --> 02:32:59.559 is that the second woman that I land on here 2503 02:32:59.600 --> 02:33:05.200 and be the booker sold Monster will date that second woman. 2504 02:33:07.159 --> 02:33:11.319 It's the solemn Monster goes on a date match.

It's the 2507 02:33:25.840 --> 02:33:33.879 second person I pick, not the first one. Hikarushida is 2508 02:33:33.879 --> 02:33:41.040 in our women's match here in round number two. My god, 2509 02:33:41.319 --> 02:33:43.000 what is this? What is this going to be? I 2510 02:33:43.040 --> 02:33:45.200 feel like we need a I feel like we need 2511 02:33:45.200 --> 02:33:50.319 a drum roll for this one. Oh my god.

I like the Canadians. 2514 02:34:09.440 --> 02:34:11.440 I like their bacon too. I'm a big fan of 2515 02:34:11.440 --> 02:34:18.159 Canadian bacon. You might have that in comedy. I might 2516 02:34:18.200 --> 02:34:23.319 have to fight Matt Cardona for That's okay. I'm okay 2517 02:34:23.360 --> 02:34:36.399 with that. All right? Now we pick our tag team match. Uh, 2518 02:34:36.440 --> 02:34:40.120 we have got a hardcore match. Gonna be a hardcore 2519 02:34:40.319 --> 02:34:48.719 tag team match. Solo Monster likes ham con for I 2520 02:34:48.760 --> 02:34:52.120 love him. I just had a ham sandwich the other day. Actually, 2521 02:34:53.760 --> 02:34:56.559 actually I did something last week that was I did 2522 02:34:56.559 --> 02:34:59.280 something last week that was kind of foolish. Actually I 2523 02:34:59.280 --> 02:35:02.360 had a ham sand was with bacon, and then I 2524 02:35:02.440 --> 02:35:05.719 realized after I'm like, wait, what, it's kind of redundant. 2525 02:35:07.239 --> 02:35:12.200 All right, tag team match, here we go, tag team 2526 02:35:12.280 --> 02:35:19.959 hardcore match. Sola Monster can be an honorary Canadian any day. 2527 02:35:20.079 --> 02:35:23.760 I would be more than happy to. I'll even sing 2528 02:35:23.799 --> 02:35:28.319 the anthem all right, public enemy rock o'rock and Johnny 2529 02:35:28.319 --> 02:35:30.959 Grunge very appropriate. They're going to be in a hardcore 2530 02:35:31.000 --> 02:35:39.959 match against the faces of fear. I feel like that 2531 02:35:40.120 --> 02:35:51.200 was a match in WCW Swine on swine sandwich. Yeah, 2532 02:35:51.440 --> 02:35:56.040 I realized like after the fact, I go, man, this 2533 02:35:56.159 --> 02:36:05.639 is not this is not the healthiest choice. All Right, 2534 02:36:05.680 --> 02:36:08.079 we may be in for our first back to back 2535 02:36:08.159 --> 02:36:11.079 clean sweep. I don't know that we've ever done this before. 2536 02:36:12.760 --> 02:36:14.639 I should have added por you know what, You're right, 2537 02:36:14.680 --> 02:36:17.479 I should have added pork. I could have had a 2538 02:36:17.520 --> 02:36:23.719 ham in pork sandwich with bacon, and it's a missed opportunity. 2539 02:36:23.760 --> 02:36:26.200 All right, main event, our stipulation is going to be 2540 02:36:27.959 --> 02:36:31.840 what is our stipulation going to be a stretcher match? Okay, well, 2541 02:36:32.879 --> 02:36:38.040 it's going to be a stretcher match. That's it. Now 2542 02:36:38.079 --> 02:36:44.719 we know it's going to be sting. Oh look he 2543 02:36:44.799 --> 02:36:49.799 looks too pale. He's definitely too pale to be the champion. 2544 02:36:51.559 --> 02:36:57.159 It's crow Sting from w CW and no, nope, nope, 2545 02:36:57.319 --> 02:37:01.440 I jumped the gun. Jump the gun. I hope I 2546 02:37:01.479 --> 02:37:10.239 didn't just jinx it. Sting and one big s ob. 2547 02:37:11.079 --> 02:37:20.520 Bran Stroman, dude, we're coming up aces tonight. It's appropriate 2548 02:37:20.559 --> 02:37:25.479 this WRESTLEMANI is in Vegas. We're coming up aces. We 2549 02:37:25.559 --> 02:37:27.879 got back to back clean sweeps. That's how you do it. 2550 02:37:30.559 --> 02:37:36.479 That's how it's done. Now we just got to carry 2551 02:37:36.479 --> 02:37:43.600 that momentum over into the weekend. Reacan Sunset, I thought 2552 02:37:43.639 --> 02:37:53.799 his shirt said, oh man, reacansn is a you sure 2553 02:37:53.799 --> 02:37:56.159 you got a little dyslexic there, he says. I thought 2554 02:37:56.239 --> 02:38:00.719 his shirt said one. I can't even say it one 2555 02:38:00.760 --> 02:38:07.360 big slob. No, it said one big sob. It didn't 2556 02:38:07.399 --> 02:38:14.079 say one big slob. That's a completely different shirt. That 2557 02:38:14.239 --> 02:38:17.280 was me when I had my my bacon and ham sandwich. 2558 02:38:19.520 --> 02:38:26.840 It's one big slob. Oh, the sonic sound I played it. 2559 02:38:26.879 --> 02:38:30.959 I played the sonic sound. We had our double clean sweep. 2560 02:38:31.000 --> 02:38:34.680 I love it. It's right six for six, unlike Juan 2561 02:38:34.840 --> 02:38:42.440 Soto's double Sonic A first, I believe it is. I 2562 02:38:42.479 --> 02:38:48.479 can't remember a time where we did that. There's no way. 2563 02:38:48.559 --> 02:38:51.840 Michelle mccol is still talking. Chris Manson says she's still yapping. 2564 02:38:52.040 --> 02:38:56.760 He's still yapping. There's no way. There's no way. I mean, look, 2565 02:38:56.760 --> 02:38:58.360 I know they're on the West Coast, but it's two 2566 02:38:58.360 --> 02:39:00.440 o'clock in the morning and Triple H still hasn't come 2567 02:39:00.479 --> 02:39:07.159 out on stage yet. Did I see Samantha Urban's music video? 2568 02:39:07.280 --> 02:39:11.360 Of course I did. Somebody linked me to it and 2569 02:39:11.399 --> 02:39:18.520 I watched it, and I enjoyed the tune power Blind. 2570 02:39:19.799 --> 02:39:25.959 I bet that sandwich was Booker t voice good. It 2571 02:39:26.079 --> 02:39:29.719 was good. Yep, it was. It was very good. I 2572 02:39:29.799 --> 02:39:35.760 enjoyed it. Soto tied the game, yes, did Yes, but 2573 02:39:35.840 --> 02:39:37.680 he has not gone six for six now, has he? 2574 02:39:41.000 --> 02:39:43.799 All right? Darryl says she's done. Okay, so her speech 2575 02:39:43.879 --> 02:39:46.479 is over. This sounds like an epic speech. I have 2576 02:39:46.520 --> 02:39:51.479 to go. I have to go listen to it.
