Of course, I'm your girl, 40 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.680 Stephanie Hardy. Welcome to the Hardy Wrestling Podcast Extra, where 41 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.360 I talk about specific episodes or specific moments in wrestling. 42 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.439 So this is me talking about what we just witnessed 43 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.800 together the Raw on Netflix premiere, and of course this 44 00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.680 is going to be out of order. And I also 45 00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.960 appreciate all of you guys for watching me on. 46 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.960 Any live platform because you. 47 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.759 Could be watching a certain post show that's taking place 48 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.120 right now, that's talking about the exact same thing. You 49 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.479 could be listening to somebody else, or you could be 50 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.400 watching somebody else, but you are watching me, and for that, 51 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.919 I am so, so so grateful. 52 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.039 So yeah, Riz on Netflix, y'all. 53 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.439 And when I say I was gagged from beginning to end, 54 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.039 I was gagged from beginning to end. And of course, 55 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.639 if you feel the same way I feel, and by 56 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.680 moment by moment, as I'm discussing it throughout the show, 57 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.199 chime in in the comments and you might wind up 58 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.759 on the screen so you can talk about how you 59 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.360 felt about this episode or if you're still processing or whatever. 60 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.719 But all in all, I enjoyed myself. It was the 61 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:48.560 perfect and somewhat imperfect celebration of the past and the 62 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.199 president where we're set to go. It's like a stamp 63 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.199 of where it is in terms of culture and pop culture. 64 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.599 Like it is absolutely nuts. How this whole episode was 65 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:04.280 just a perfect combination of just the past and the president. 66 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:04.840 It was great. 67 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.039 Racarciu's watching on YouTube. Hey girl, Happy New Year, Thank 68 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.280 you for watching. So yeah, there is so much to 69 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.319 get into, but of course, you know, since I'm me, 70 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.199 I have to start by talking about the women, and 71 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.199 there was only one women's match on the card, which 72 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.199 ruffled a lot of people's feathers, you know, a lot 73 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.759 of Women's Wrestlings fans, because they sort of felt like 74 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:31.160 the Women's Intercontinental Title final could have been on this 75 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.079 episode as well because of that large because of how 76 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.560 large of a platform Raw being on Netflix was. But 77 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.519 at the same time, when you really look at how 78 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.519 big this show was and how all the moving parts 79 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.680 of the show was, they probably felt like maybe they 80 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.199 just didn't have a lot of. 81 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:48.800 Time for it. 82 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.720 But either way, there was one women's match on the 83 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.439 card and it was for the Women's World Championship. Now, 84 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.279 at one point it was announced as a last women's 85 00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.759 standing match, but I guess maybe they changed your mind 86 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.600 or me. Maybe somebody made that up. I don't know, 87 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:02.759 maybe I made it up. 88 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:03.240 I don't know. 89 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.600 But Real Ripley, the Eradicator, Mommy and the Beat of 90 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.879 all of Our Hearts went up against Live Morgan for 91 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.480 the Women's World Championship and this match was a doozy. 92 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:16.720 It was really good. 93 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.040 There were shenanigans involved, but either way, both women definitely 94 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.720 killed it. They stood like apart from each other, of course, 95 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.720 staring at each other from afar as they just you know, 96 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.680 tried to figure out like what was about to be. 97 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:34.680 This match. 98 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.480 And these women know each other so well because of course, 99 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.680 at one point they were Tag Team champions together. I 100 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.480 believe they were in at tag Team together and they 101 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.480 were friends. But now, of course they're better rivals now. 102 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:51.120 And the one thing that was that was that a 103 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.920 lot of emphasis was being placed on in this rivalry 104 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.759 is the fact that it has to end here. And 105 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.360 I am really glad that at this point it does 106 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.480 end here, because this rivalry has been very bitter from 107 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.680 last August all the way up until now. And Ria 108 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.399 has had to jump through so many hoops in order 109 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.639 to even really get to live, Like there were times 110 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.560 where she even fought lived and it still wasn't fair 111 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.199 and square. And you could argue that even in this 112 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.199 match it wasn't fair and square, but Ria actually fought 113 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:30.000 through the BS, fought through Dominic and Raquel, utilizing chairs 114 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.759 and titles and distracting the referee in order to try 115 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.639 to get the upper hand on her, and she won 116 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:38.639 her baby back. 117 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:39.519 She got the. 118 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.639 One thing she truly cares about, and that is the 119 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:47.800 Women's World Championship that she never lost. Like, let's really 120 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.519 think about that for a second. Ria Ripley never lost 121 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.160 this championship. She was injured. She defended it in WrestleMania 122 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.279 that she got injured by Live, who threw a chair 123 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.959 at her, and she had to give the title up 124 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.160 and then Live for all of that big talk she 125 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:07.199 was doing was literally literally won that title be a 126 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:13.439 cheating via Dominick off of Becky Lynch, and that is 127 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.279 essentially what led to Becky Lynch sort of taking her 128 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.040 hiatus after she lost against Live in a steel cage, 129 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.879 and Rhea had to fight tooth and nail in order 130 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.959 to get you know, her title back, fight through Dominick's shenanigans, 131 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.439 the Judgment Day shenanigans, and all of the above in 132 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.839 order to get to what she truly wanted. And I 133 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.800 am so happy that the focus was mainly on each 134 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.720 other and on the title in the match and not 135 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.439 even you know, the whole boyfriend thing, Like it was 136 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.079 very refreshing to see it in this way and to 137 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:51.399 see Rhea actually be smart enough to just jump out 138 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.399 of those calculations that Live always had going on because 139 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.319 Live never could and I've said this multiple times on 140 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.399 my show before Live never could beat just straight up, 141 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.480 and this match basically told that story. 142 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.439 And you know, I thought maybe we. 143 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.240 Would see a little bit more of Live and her 144 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.480 reaction to losing the title afterwards, but we didn't, and 145 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.920 we saw more of Ria just reacting to having it 146 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.240 still and having it back, and it was just really cool. 147 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.120 And also for this to be the only women's match, 148 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.079 I did enjoy the fact that Daphnie La Shawn aka 149 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:29.000 Aja Smith was refereeing this match as the sole female 150 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.039 referee on this show. It was really good to see her. 151 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.960 It's always good to see her just from a representation 152 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.000 standpoint as a black woman, it was always great to 153 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.679 see that, and you know, just to see her ref 154 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.919 this match, it was just really good. So big ups 155 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.159 to all the women who participated in this, including Raquel. 156 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.320 But Ria is our. 157 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:53.200 New women's World Champion and I am so freaking happy. 158 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:59.559 But the drama doesn't end there, because Dominic wanted to 159 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.039 act like a where's my hug kind of guy and 160 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:08.000 actually go in the ring, you know, during Rhea's moment 161 00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:12.360 and center himself, you know, like a man, and censer 162 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.240 himself in her moment and try to ask for a 163 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.720 hug from his eggs and I'm staying here like, oh, 164 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.600 so now that she's the champion. 165 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.159 Again, now you want to rub up on her again. 166 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.039 But Ria wasn't having it, and she kicked him in 167 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.799 his huhah, which I'm more than sure he didn't feel 168 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:29.960 that much because it's probably not that much down there, 169 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.159 but hey, either way, she kicked him down there and 170 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.000 gave him what for and celebrated with her title. 171 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:36.720 Now. 172 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.039 They did show I Believe online or yet another clip 173 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.279 on social media of her having an interview with Jackie 174 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.080 Redman along with Damian Priest, who was set to go 175 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.480 up against Ben Bala in a street fight next week. 176 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.440 But either way, it was just really good to see 177 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.679 them get some come up and because at this point 178 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.360 the judgment, they don't even have any titles anymore. Live 179 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:02.240 was the only girl in the group who had a 180 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.279 title after Finn and JD Losso's tag team title, so 181 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:10.919 now they are goldless and they have to contend with 182 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.960 that while also you know, deal with the fact that 183 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.559 they've bother and beefing with each other. So it was 184 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.879 really nuts and really just happy. It was a very 185 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:24.320 happy moment for me to watch Ria just finally get 186 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.879 her come up and get the title that she never lost. 187 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.000 And for a minute I thought Becky Lynch was gonna 188 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:30.759 pop up and. 189 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.440 Be like, hey, I want to fight you. 190 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.240 But as it turns out, Rina got surprised by a 191 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.679 certain biker taker in the form of Undertaker on a 192 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.960 motorcycle and they had a good little moment together and 193 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.519 that was cute and everything, so big ups to her 194 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.879 for having that moment. Afterward, even though the dong really 195 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.759 caught everybody off guard and for a second I was like, 196 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.559 hold on, is he about to attack Dominic? What's going on? 197 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.799 But he came out there, rode his motorcycle just to 198 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.759 get us a little bit of nostalgia and had his 199 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.039 fist pump moment with Ria and. 200 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:05.679 That was cool. 201 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:11.679 So yeah, that was good. Ria's supremacy, Mommy's supremacy. Yes, 202 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.639 our sweetheart, our big Gothic sweetheart is the CHAMPIONI guie. 203 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.320 So that was the only female action that we got, 204 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.200 but there was a lot of female representation in terms 205 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.720 of the guests that showed up. Michelle McCool was in 206 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.600 the audience as well as a number of of WW 207 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:34.440 superstars like the women's tag team champions, Biancle bell Aira 208 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:39.120 and Naomi, like Tiffany Stratton, the new ww Women's Champions, 209 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.240 shout out to her for that, like Lyra Valkyria and 210 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.200 Damage Control, like all the women were out there, you know, 211 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.360 and even in the audience. And then you had another 212 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.200 og that was very unexpected in the form of Nikki Bella. 213 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.639 That was something I was not expecting at all, but 214 00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.840 the fact that she was there was just like, Wow, 215 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:04.600 that's cool. And my boss lady named twin, Stephanie McMahon 216 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.480 was there too, so it was a nice little, you know, 217 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.240 back down memory lane type of thing, so it was cool. 218 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.759 And also we saw Vanessa Hudgens from high school musical 219 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.039 and other things there with her husband. We also saw 220 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.879 Danielle Pinot. I feel like I'm pronouncing her last name wrong, 221 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.320 but either way, she played Topanga in the iconic show 222 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.480 Boy Meets World, and she was sitting right next to 223 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.799 Will Fredell from Kim Possible and also Boy Meets World too, 224 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.240 So it was just a lot of great representation in 225 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.639 terms of celebrities, female celebrities, male celebrities. To everybody was there. 226 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.399 It was a star studded affair. But moving more so 227 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.519 back to the action in terms of WWE, we had 228 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.799 John Cena come out and address the WWE universe. Of course, 229 00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:00.919 because since the new year has begun, we have to 230 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:04.360 embrace the idea that this year is going to be 231 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.480 his last active year in professional wrestling, because after this 232 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.320 he is getting ready to retire. So he came out 233 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.639 and talked about, you know what a lot of wrestling 234 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.679 pundits and wrestling writers have been saying about who he 235 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:23.440 should face during his farewell tour, like a cmpunk, like 236 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.399 a Cody Rhodes, or in my case, like a Carmelo Hayes. 237 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.559 But he did mention that he felt like maybe a 238 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:35.679 seventeen time, like a seventeenth title reign, was out of 239 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.799 the question for him, But as the fans booed that, 240 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.039 he realized, well, maybe, you know, it would take a 241 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.559 miracle for me to get a title opportunity like that. 242 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.600 But considering he also just declared for the Royal Rumble 243 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.559 and then we have Elimination Chamber on the horizon too, 244 00:13:54.039 --> 00:14:00.159 he has multiple opportunities to have a championship match at 245 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.200 WrestleMania if he wants it, or if he wins either 246 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.559 one of those things. So now that John Cena has 247 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:10.320 officially declared for the Royal Rumble, I'm definitely here for 248 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.480 watching him win and stuff, just so he can have 249 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.840 that seventeen Tyraine and his last go round. I'm definitely 250 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.399 here for it because I'm just here for all the 251 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.600 nostalgia at this point, because John Cena is really like 252 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:29.879 the superstar of generation. It's like I mentioned episodes before, 253 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.480 like when he started his career, my sister was a 254 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.720 baby and I was still and I was like seven 255 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.919 to eight years old. So the idea of me now 256 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:43.240 reaching me and my sister both now reaching adulthood and 257 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.360 he's wrapping his career up, it's just really astounding, and 258 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.679 it's heartbreaking from a selfish standpoint, but it makes sense 259 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.000 because he's given so much of his career and so 260 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.120 much of his life and body, you know, just to 261 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:01.759 entertain us and to raise us, you know, so he deserves. 262 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:02.720 This time that he's about to have. 263 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.639 But in the midst of it all, I'm just really 264 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.799 grateful that I get to experience this last time because 265 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.480 sometimes there are there have been wrestlers in the past 266 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.960 who have been retired due to injury and never really 267 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:20.919 got to have like a last go round or god 268 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.120 or in the worst possible way, like something tragic happens 269 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.879 and you're not able to finish the way that they 270 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:30.000 would have liked to due to outside forces outside of 271 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.279 our control. But the fact that John Cena gets to 272 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.519 wrap his career up the way that he wants to 273 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:40.480 is an amazing thing. So the last time is now, 274 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.879 but we get to basket and enjoy it from now 275 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:49.159 until December of this year. And time can go by 276 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.960 really fast when you're an adult. But at the same time, 277 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.840 let's just bask in the moments that we do have it, 278 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.240 because once it's gone, it's gone. It's like he said, 279 00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.879 up money in the bank. If you want some, hurry 280 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.120 up and come get to them, because the last time 281 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:06.320 is now. And let me just say him coming out 282 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.639 and Dodger Blue was amazing. 283 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:11.120 And if you get that reference, you get that reference. 284 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.399 Shout out to Kenchrill Lamar. 285 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.919 But I loved, you know, his outfit and the towel 286 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.159 he had, and of course the title belt that he 287 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:21.919 had that WW shop did have, but I think it's 288 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:22.600 sold out now. 289 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.639 So but either way, the merchant will be. 290 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:29.639 Bought to commemorate this occasion, Malcolm in the comment saying 291 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:30.919 John versus Cody for. 292 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.279 The undisputed title at Manu. 293 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.440 You know, I was thinking the same thing off of 294 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.559 the basis of something else that happened tonight or something 295 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.879 else that I thought was gonna happen, but we'll get 296 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.559 to that later. So in the midst of it all, 297 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.240 we had a one on one match between jay Usso 298 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:54.279 and Drew McIntyre because Drew McIntyre is in his crash 299 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:55.720 Out two point zero era. 300 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:56.559 Y'all know. 301 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.639 Last year he crashed out because of the whole Ceau 302 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.120 Punk thing, but now he's crashing out on the bloodline 303 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.640 again because he wants vengeance for how they ruined his 304 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:11.279 title opportunity at Clashing the Castle in Wales, not in Scotland. 305 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.880 And so in the midst of this he got to. 306 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.680 Fighting with ja Usso, and jay Usso wanted to match 307 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.319 with him, and Adam Pearce gave it. 308 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.680 So this match was pretty good for the most part. 309 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:28.079 I enjoyed what I did see from it because I 310 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.200 was in the middle of other things while this match 311 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.400 was on no shape. But there was a lot happening 312 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.680 in my house but other than that, the action was 313 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:39.119 pretty solid in this match. 314 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:39.839 I loved it. 315 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.880 But something that definitely caught me off guard was when 316 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:51.000 Travis Scott came out and he made his entrance, and 317 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.559 at first I thought it was reported online that maybe 318 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.119 he was going to perform at the show, but as 319 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.160 it turns out, he didn't perform. He really showed up 320 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.279 with his hardcore title that was gifted to him by 321 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.640 Triple H at a show, and he came out smoking 322 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:13.440 some loud or smoking some weed depending on who you are, 323 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.599 you know, partaking in the grass and the happy grass. 324 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.240 And then after that point, you know, everybody was crunking 325 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.240 and screaming and stuff. And then he's there because he 326 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:25.359 did the new theme song for Raw that I'm pretty 327 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.839 sure will here in the next couple of days. And 328 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.119 he came out with j Uso and they were doing 329 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.400 the Yeat dance and it just had the cool factor 330 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.319 to it. But a lot of people online were definitely 331 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.599 freaking out of the fact that yet that they really 332 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:44.240 had a rapper on you smoking weed. I hope I 333 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.039 don't get demonetized or whatever or blocked for that, but 334 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:51.000 literally he was smoking weed, like everything was just chill, 335 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.119 and then someone on Twitter actually posted a picture of 336 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:57.359 him side by side with Dennis Robin in the nineties 337 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.000 smoking a cigar with the nWo, and I was just like, 338 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.759 Jesus Christ, we are in a different time. We are 339 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:08.720 in such a different time, and I just I feel 340 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.079 like I love it. I just really love it because 341 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.599 this is Netflix now, Like it's just you know, there's 342 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:20.440 a level of you know, there's a level of uncensorship 343 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:22.920 that can happen now that they're streaming and not on 344 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.839 network television where there are you know, numerous restrictions. Even 345 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.640 my dad noticed that, you know, during the Tribal Combat match, 346 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.759 the crowd was saying af you solo and they didn't 347 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:35.599 even edit it out, and I was and he was 348 00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:38.200 just like, oh, yeah, they can't edit that out now. 349 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:44.880 And I was like, oh, oh, we are gonna hear 350 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.200 some colorful things, y'all. And this is the start of 351 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.359 it right here, Travis Scott smoking weed with a hardcore 352 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:56.960 championship with next to jay Uso. Baby, you really can't 353 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:01.279 make any of this stuff up. But either way, their 354 00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.119 match was incredible. One of the best parts of this 355 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.160 match for me was just watching how ja Uso was 356 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.960 getting beat up by Drew McIntyre, but then towards the 357 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.799 end of the match, he was playing possum and acting 358 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.799 like he was like super tired and everything. But then 359 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.680 when Drew McIntyre thought he had he had him dead 360 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.440 to rights, jay Usso pinned him like pin his shoulders. 361 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:24.480 And then after that. 362 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:27.279 He won, and I was like, oh, and I was 363 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:29.400 so happy about that. I was like, yes, Jay you 364 00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.680 literally I was smart at Drew and Drew here again 365 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.480 looked like he was reaching another. 366 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:35.720 Level of crash out from him. 367 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:38.799 So I love you. Feel like this definitely isn't gonna 368 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:42.039 be the end of it, especially since Drew decided he 369 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:46.200 was gonna pop up in the tribal combat match. But 370 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.200 we're gonna get to that in a minute. But either way, 371 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:49.200 I'm happy that Jay. 372 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.559 Usso got this win on this big of a platform, 373 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:52.400 like it's great. 374 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:58.799 Make him champion this year please. So yeah, And then 375 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:03.039 of course we get to this main event, this very heated, 376 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:08.559 very angry main event between Seth Rollins and cmpunk. Now, 377 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.160 if I'm going out of order, y'all, I'm sorry, But 378 00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:17.599 either way, this match was in the main event, and 379 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:24.079 to watch Seth Rolins come out well in such an 380 00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:28.960 amazing outfit where he was just looking like a dragon, 381 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:30.160 like a mad dragon. 382 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:31.119 Was just kind of nuts. 383 00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:34.079 I was like, okay, sir, I see you're out here 384 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.680 to prove a point, and I completely understand that. But 385 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:42.200 then you also had CM Punk come out dressed up 386 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:44.680 in his Ring of Honor outfit, which gives off the 387 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.200 impression that this match is gonna be a little bit 388 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.440 more grittier and that he's ready to fight. And then 389 00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:53.880 someone on social media also noticed if this was the 390 00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:58.480 outfit that he infamously wore at the aw All in 391 00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.519 pay per view, and he fought Samoa Joe for the 392 00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:06.039 final time and then got into that little scuffle that 393 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.720 people tend to bring up a lot of the time 394 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.359 when they want to just you know, talk about the 395 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:20.400 craziness of life. But yeah, this match was absolutely insane. 396 00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.160 I enjoyed it very much. 397 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:26.680 I feel like the part that I love the most 398 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:28.759 about this match was the fact that they kept using 399 00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.680 each other's moves back and forth, and I was just like, 400 00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:35.920 holy cow, so y'all are really just being super petty, 401 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:39.759
