Yes, this was a good WrestleMania, 21 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:22.640 let me tell you. Of course, popular opinion out there 22 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.519 would have you say that it is It was half 23 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.719 of a good WrestleMania. 24 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.680 But I happen to think that both Knights were just fine, 25 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:33.719 too great. 26 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.040 And you know what, there's a lot, yes, I would 27 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.439 agree that a lot of people out there who have 28 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.200 been hating on this particular WrestleMania at least the first 29 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.239 night of WrestleMania versus the second night of WrestleMania. But 30 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.640 I will also contend as well alongside you Chico, that 31 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.159 I enjoyed both nights as well. But at the same time, 32 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.560 I can understand where some of that criticism comes from. 33 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.359 So you know, let's get right into it, shall we. 34 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.200 Sure, and for those of you in radio land and 35 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.199 also on podcast land, and also because we're not putting 36 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.039 these ones up on YouTube. At the moment she go 37 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.439 goes wearing his Dan house in You Are Christ shirt 38 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:20.039 and yeah, one of those moments again where Dan Housen 39 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.560 steals the show on night number two thanks to a 40 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.719 little segment with a little segment with the House of 41 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.759 WrestleMania one man, the Invisible Man, John Cena he never 42 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.319 seen seventeen and oh. 43 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:33.800 Yeah, you know what. 44 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.240 Also later on there, Chico looks like he's holding up something, 45 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:38.840 but I can't. 46 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:41.439 It looks like I don't know what it is though, 47 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:43.000 that's right. 48 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.840 Yeah, it's a floating pair of George. Yes, exactly there, 49 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.199 it is a floating pair of George. I don't know 50 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.080 why I couldn't. I don't know. 51 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.800 I could not make that one out. Honestly. Yeah, it's 52 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:56.759 great radio folks. 53 00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.960 Yes, but you know, hey, lead the mind, that's what it's. 54 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.719 You know, you gotta describe things. We describe things on 55 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.400 the air, and we let the people understand that, you 56 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:11.400 know what. We couldn't see John Cena, but hey, besaws, Georgs, 57 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:12.639 you know what. 58 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.599 That was one of my favorite segments of the weekend, 59 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.120 just like you were alluding to. And again some people 60 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.240 were belly aching about it, like kind of being in 61 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.120 between the uh what was before it? 62 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:25.560 Was it. 63 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.280 The one of the women's championships or something, the Rhea. 64 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.680 Ripley defeating Jade Car Gill by pinfall. 65 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.719 Yeah, between that, between that and the main event of 66 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.000 Punk Versus Reigns. But of course you gotta have a 67 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.639 little palette cleanse, and I think it was a really 68 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:48.240 good palate cleanser. And honestly, just like maybe one or 69 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.960 two people out there, I was kind of oddly emotional 70 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:56.680 for dan Housen getting his moment at WrestleMania with John Cena. 71 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.159 Because man, that guy Dan House and I'm speaking of 72 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:06.039 has been really paying his dues on the indies for years, 73 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.639 and he's just supposed to be like a quote unquote 74 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.719 meme wrestler, right. I mean, that's basically what you know, 75 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.279 hit his gimmick, I guess was all about for a 76 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:22.040 lot of people, but it has entertainment value. And I 77 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.439 said this just like a few other wise people said, 78 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.160 you know, right from elimination Chamber, right from the elimination Chamber, 79 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.199 pl e, from the debut of Dan Housen. Sure, Chicago 80 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:38.160 bowed him, but that debut was also brilliant, and then 81 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.480 I could tell from there that WWE was the right 82 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.480 place for this guy and that he would be embraced 83 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.040 by the masses in no time. And sure enough, other 84 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.879 than the booze in Chicago, because people were somehow expecting 85 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.199 Chris Jericho to pack himself in a crate for a 86 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.000 month and think that that would be a good idea. 87 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.160 The uh, you know, the only person who could do 88 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.639 because you could you could pack it into a crank 89 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.600 for a month. There's still actually this two there is 90 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.759 the gobbledegooker and Dan Housen. 91 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:16.399 Yes, but that that comparison is always kind of insulting. 92 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.040 So I mean that Dan Housen was way beyond that. 93 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.720 Oh for sure, piece of yeah for sure, piece of 94 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.600 turkey crap. Anyway, Uh, dan Housen at WrestleMania brought out 95 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.879 the midgets and before you and social media are gonna 96 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.600 pour on the hey, just like Michael Cole said on commentary, 97 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.120 he was told by those very same little people to 98 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:44.079 call the midgets. So the midget Housends were there and 99 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.639 it was fantastic. I was so amused. The mizz was 100 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.839 the right foil, and so is Kit Wilson. 101 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:51.480 Yep. 102 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.160 So I mean it just went off, uh, you know, 103 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.959 without without an inadvertent hitch, just deliberate ones. 104 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.959 Yes exactly, and it's and and it's brilliant. 105 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.000 What what as you mentioned about. 106 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.680 The uh, the the hitches, the planned hitches. 107 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.199 It broke, Sena Sina. 108 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.439 I could tell and see that John Cena was trying 109 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.639 to hold it together and trying to keep that straight 110 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.600 face and whatever like that and like you know, be 111 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.319 all host of WrestleMania and all that sort of stuff. 112 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.639 But he saw the he saw the planned hitches that were. 113 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.959 Happening, and he needed he needed a few seconds to 114 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.639 compose himself again. And that's how you know you got 115 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.800 you You were over at least with the locker room, 116 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.959 because you know John Cena, he can be straight faced 117 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.040 with the rest of them, with the. 118 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:42.639 Best of them. 119 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.199 And come on, you cannot get any better than John 120 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.920 Cena raising your hand at your first WrestleMania appearance. 121 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.680 Oh my god, yes, exactly. 122 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.600 And he got his blimp Housen you know his list 123 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.800 of demand Housens.

Yep. 126 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.600 I mean all he needs is a personal assistant and 127 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.120 a camera boy, like you know whatever whatever else is 128 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.759 on that list. But dang, Dan Housen has been doing 129 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:15.959 so good and he even won his debut match. I mean, 130 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.920 what else can you ask for?

But I know that there were some 196 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.279 Ontario wrestlers involved in uh in in uh in the 197 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.759 Dominic Mysterio entrance.

I was actually on the 202 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.559 Friday night UH during during SmackDown and and UH before 203 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.039 w W Hall of Fame, I was actually calling Oshawa 204 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.840 Wrestling's Moose Lodge Mania five over at the Moose Lodge 205 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.799 in Oshawa. Great night of wrestling, great amazing crowd. We 206 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.679 sold out, We had a standing room only and UH 207 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.000 and it was just a really really fun night of wrestling. 208 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.919 If you want to go and experience wrestling for and 209 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.639 you don't want to break the bank, you could take 210 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:25.960 the entire family. 211 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.879 And still have some great action. 212 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:32.559 Again, go to your local Ontario independent wrestling UH. You 213 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:34.919 can get in Mississauga. Battle Arts is probably one of 214 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.639 the best places to go. Also in Oshawa, you've got 215 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:42.320 all the different promotions from UH, from UH, from Oshawa 216 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.360 Wrestling and Great Canadian Wrestling and like UH so to 217 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.200 support that because hey, there those people could be the 218 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.759 next ww superstar then you and you got to see 219 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.320 them right in front of your faces for cheap two anyway, 220 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.600 Mike one of WrestleMania. In WrestleMania, we had seven matches 221 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.919 to UH to UH to go for or to take 222 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.519 in rather and we had we'll go around the well, 223 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.639 I'll just run down the results on the card here 224 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.120 of these seven matches that were aired, and then we'll 225 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.799 talk about the we'll talk about the reception of Night 226 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:17.759 number one. We'll debate things a little bit as well. 227 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.519 But first of all, here are the results. Match number one, 228 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:25.240 the USO's Jimmy and Jay and l A Night Yeah 229 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.679 defeat the Vision Logan Paul and Austin Theory with ICE 230 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.799 Show Speed by pinfall seven minute and eight second match, 231 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.120 and it resulted with the Vision turning on Ice Show 232 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.399 Speed and I Show Speed putting Logan Paul through the 233 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.320 announced table by going shame man styles sort of. 234 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.159 Well, I mean, you know, a very pretty I Show Speed. 235 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.039 What do you call it? Splash? Yes, I show Splash. 236 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.559 I think Michael Cole called it, and then Wade Barrett 237 00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:57.320 followed up and called it full Speed or. 238 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.480 Something like that. So yeah, a lot of witty little things, 239 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.639 but you know what for a cute little opener that 240 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.159 would attract new eyes to the product because of people 241 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.159 like Logan Paul and I Show Speed being involved. 242 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.320 Pretty good way to start it off. I think not 243 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.480 as hot as Night too. We'll get the Night too, 244 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:18.759 but I mean decent way to start off Night one. 245 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.320 It's fine, It was okay, and I got to come in. 246 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.480 I show speedcause he had another one of these celebrities 247 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.039 that has come in. And it shows that he's doing 248 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.039 the work to not just make it look like some 249 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.279 you know, like they didn't want to try hard because 250 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.279 it's just wrestling or something. No, I show speed. He 251 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.159 gave it a good go. It looked like he learned 252 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.039 how to bump properly. It looked like he knew how 253 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.440 to do that that jumping splash from the top turn 254 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.639 buckle onto the announced desk. So it was it was 255 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:52.840 well executed. It was fine, it was good. 256 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.600 And and you know what, I know people on the 257 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:02.360 internet as wealthy have been debating the what TKO said earlier, 258 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:06.240 that that more celebrities could be involved in WrestleManias in 259 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.799 the future. If now here's the thing for me, at least, 260 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:14.120 if they show that they're like a bad Bunny or 261 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.840 an Ice show Speed or a Logan Paul, even Jelly Roll. Right, 262 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.279 if you can see the commitment to the excellence and 263 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.519 to getting yourself to a point where you can hang 264 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.720 with the big boys, even just for a few minutes, right, 265 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:30.840 then you know what the then I would, I would 266 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.559 be okay with that. I don't want celebrities to take 267 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.240 you over the entire night, but at least if they 268 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:39.080 put in the work and the and the wrestlers are 269 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.720 good because it'll help them get over as well and 270 00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:44.799 put more eyes upon their work. 271 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.120 I'm for that. Yeah, I'm okay with it too. 272 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.120 Yeah, like you're saying, the caution there is to not 273 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.639 let it overrun everything, because of course there's plenty of 274 00:14:55.399 --> 00:15:00.039 actual WWE contract and full time talent that do you 275 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.759 need an opportunity to show off their wares. However, that's 276 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.120 you know, it's it's just more money, exactly, So how 277 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:09.120 can you say no to that? 278 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.480 Exactly? Exactly exactly. And that's the end of the day. 279 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.840 At the end of the day, it is about money. 280 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:17.279 It is about the money you want to you're working 281 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.919 in this business. You want to get to WWE because 282 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.559 you want to make money. Guess what, on the independent circles, 283 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.080 not much money out there, if at all, that you'll 284 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.799 be making. But you know you'll still get paid from 285 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.000 the for wrestling matches and everything too, So that's cool. 286 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:31.559 But you want to get to WWE because that is 287 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:32.600 life changing money for you. 288 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.480 Right there exactly, and you have to deal with the 289 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.120 consequences of being in a big corporation like that, right. 290 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:42.840 I mean, I will say that TKO. Maybe the perception 291 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:47.320 is there's overreach. I do maybe feel that because as 292 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:49.080 we'll get to the main event of Night one, at 293 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:54.759 some point, the road to it was really bumpy and 294 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.000 could have done better without certain ingredients. 295 00:15:59.000 --> 00:15:59.960 But we'll talk about that later. 296 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.200 M Jacob Fatuo defeating Drew McIntyre bat pinfall in an 297 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.200 unsanctioned match. I enjoyed the match personally. It took fourteen 298 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.919 minutes and nine seconds. But at the same time, for 299 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:13.159 an unsanctioned match, I know that there are a lot 300 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:18.360 of people that wanted to see more I guess guts, score, 301 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.399 violence whatever like that, uh uh and or youah or 302 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.080 blood and guts maybe, but but you want they wanted to. 303 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.159 When you put something as an unsanctioned match, you kind 304 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.440 of expect a little bit more intensity. But at the 305 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.879 same time, I think that because Jacob Fatu is just 306 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:43.600 so electric himself that it and also Drew McIntyre is 307 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.279 they work so well together that even if it wasn't, 308 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:50.600 as you know, balls of the walls, you know, the bloody, 309 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:51.840 gutsy or whatever like that. 310 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.279 It still worked for me. Yeah, it was still very good. 311 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.360 I would have wanted more, like going around the arena, 312 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:01.919 you know, like it wasn't a false count anywhere match, 313 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.120 but an unsanctioned match. 314 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.240 I think they could have pushed the envelope more. So 315 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.680 I would have I would have maybe wanted another five minutes, 316 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.440 you know, like go go around the arena a little 317 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:16.440 bit more. But for what we got, honestly very good. 318 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.079 I enjoyed it. M hm. 319 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:23.559 Britty Bella and Page become the new WWE Women's Tag 320 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.599 Team Champions, and of course the were the one name 321 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.480 that I sort of like glossed over. Just now, Page 322 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.799 returns to the WWE, taking over for Niki Bella who's 323 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.000 injured still and what a moment, What a moment for 324 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:42.559 U Sirea bevis for Page to return and you know, 325 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.519 come back to you know, her house. 326 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:50.200 Yeah, yeah, she's home. So I'm very very happy. 327 00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.559 This is another one that got me emotional because just 328 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:58.079 following Page's story from social media, uh you know, just 329 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:02.640 like through the years and struggling to get cleared and everything, 330 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:07.279 she actually just posted. So we're recording this on on 331 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:12.400 Tuesday evening. She posted earlier on Tuesday that you know, 332 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.039 a video of her getting cleared and her reaction to it, 333 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.680 and she was emotional and crying, and the ww trainers there, 334 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:23.799 you know, congratulating her kind of thing for getting cleared 335 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.519 for WWE Action because Page never thought that she would 336 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.640 be cleared just based on how everything went down. So I'm, 337 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.839 you know, a fan of hers from from over the years, 338 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.039 and I was hoping for her to do well in 339 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.400 AEW and I think according to her, she did have 340 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:47.319 fun in AEW with her stint there, but I think 341 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:49.720 I think the goal was always to come back eventually 342 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:52.599 for her, So she achieved that goal. 343 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.200 And honestly, she looks great.
