1
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:06.559
<v Speaker 1>It's time for your weekly fis of wrestling nostalgia. When

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>we look at wrestling's past eras from the Attitude era,

3
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>this is a reality era.

4
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to think, then maybe this company will be better.

5
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 3>After Vince McMahon's dead, But the.

6
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Fact is it's it's gonna get taken over by his

7
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 2>idiotic daughter and his dupest son in law and the

8
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>rest of his stupid family.

9
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Here's the dad here on the WWE podcast.

10
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Guys, welcome to the wrestling nostalgia portion of the WWE

11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Podcast is Sunday, March twenty fourth, twenty nineteen. Want to

12
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>welcome you to the show. I'm always excited about this

13
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 2>show for the week. The wrestling nostalgia portion of the show, really,

14
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean, I love reviewing Raw and SmackDown,

15
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.079
<v Speaker 2>especially now that we're rolling into WrestleMania season. There is

16
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>no shortage of things to talk about there. But there's

17
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>just something special about the wrestling nostalgia portion that I do.

18
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 2>And maybe it's because of just that it's a nostalgia

19
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 2>and maybe it's me living in the past a bit

20
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 2>from the memories that brought me into wrestling, the memories

21
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>that I go back to on YouTube, the memories that

22
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I go back to on the WWE network, And there

23
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>are times when you know, I live for the glory days,

24
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 2>and I think we're all at times guilty of that,

25
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>for better or worse. I mean, when you go back

26
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>to your roots and you go back to what brought

27
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 2>you to the dance, it reminds you why you're a fan,

28
00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 2>and no memory serves me better for this purpose. And

29
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:03.079
<v Speaker 2>then the one I'm sharing with you guys today, And

30
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I can't say it's my favorite memory, because, as Jim

31
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Ross always says, it's like picking your favorite child. I mean,

32
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you pick a favorite moment. This

33
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 2>is one of my favorites, but just because it's the

34
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 2>first one that I really have doesn't mean it's my favorite.

35
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>But it is up there wherever that may be, in

36
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 2>my top five list or whatever. And it brought me in,

37
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>it captured captivated me as a at the time, a

38
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, let me do the math, a twelve

39
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 2>year old fan, very naive to the product, very new,

40
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 2>and not educated whatsoever on what professional wrestling was. And

41
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 2>this is, of course, what I'm talking about, is the

42
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 2>very first hell in a cell with Sean Michaels versus

43
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the Undertaker.

44
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 3>So I'm going to.

45
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Walk you guys through a little bit of what I

46
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 2>was thinking looking back then, and of course give you

47
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>guys some audio from that time. The audio equality is

48
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 2>not the best that I'm gonna pull you, guys, but

49
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>you'll get a sense of reliving that moment if you

50
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>haven't done it already. And many new fans out there, guys,

51
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 2>I highly recommend that you go take listen or watch

52
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>this match. It is just so perfectly done. The story

53
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 2>is just superb, and you're doing yourself a disservice by

54
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 2>not watching this match. It is just awesome, and not

55
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 2>just because it's the first, but there are two pros

56
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>in there doing what they do best, and that's telling a.

57
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 3>Hell of a story.

58
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna get to all of that, all of it,

59
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 2>and but before I do, I just want to set

60
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 2>the table, guys, if you've never listened to me before.

61
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 2>This is the WWE Podcast, and I do a show too,

62
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>sometimes three times a week, and as WrestleMania creeps closer,

63
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I may get more towards that three or more, maybe

64
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 2>more shows a week because as the final shows close

65
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 2>into WrestleMania, there will be, no doubt, no shortage of

66
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>talking points. And I also notice that WWE on their

67
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 2>homepage is I don't know if they're taking a poll

68
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>on who should main event WrestleMania, whether it's Seth Rollins

69
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and brock Lesner or the triple threat for the Women's

70
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Raw Women's Championship. Now, I agree that there was only

71
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 2>one main event, but WWE loves to press the narrative

72
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.199
<v Speaker 2>every year that you'll be in a main event or

73
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>it's one of the main events. BS, there's one main event,

74
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 2>you want to know what that main event is, the

75
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 2>one that goes on last. Don't give me a main event.

76
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Main event is a singular term. Main event means there's one.

77
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Main event means you are the show. Main event means

78
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 2>you are the lasting image as they show goes off

79
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 2>the air a lah, you are the main event. It's

80
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>never main events. That's not a plural. If you think

81
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>it's a plural term, you have been you have been

82
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>influenced by the corporate speak of WWE. It is not

83
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 2>a plural term. So guys, thank you once again for

84
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 2>joining me. You could find me everywhere that you have

85
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>audio whether you have Android, whether you have Apple, it

86
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 2>really doesn't matter. And I also encourage you to go

87
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 2>ahead and give me if you think I deserve it,

88
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 2>a five star review on Apple Podcasts.

89
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:28.040

<v Speaker 2>It's really helping me move up in the rankings. I

00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 3>Here I don't know. It was Michaels who edits to

152
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 3>turn to begin with will they undertake your strikes? Michael,

153
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:14.919
<v Speaker 3>Michael does the Tombston.

154
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, guys, I'm gonna I'm gonna positive right here.

155
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I'm gonna positive is because there's a

156
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:38.360
<v Speaker 2>second part to this, and that is Caine's debut, which

157
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>was absolutely amazing, perfectly done, awesome story. Paul Bear, who

158
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 2>is was the manager of the Undertaker, had been saying

159
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 2>for weeks and months that his younger brother Kane is

160
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.559
<v Speaker 2>still alive from a fire that had happened when they

161
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>were children at a funeral home, and and the Undertaker

162
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 2>didn't believe it. Paul Barre continue to insist that Caine

163
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 2>was alive, and allah, we have Paul Bart producing Cain

164
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 2>at this pay per view, costing the Undertaker the match.

165
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 2>As you know, we all know. I don't think it's

166
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 2>spoilers at this point, but Cain debuted man. Will he

167
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 2>ever be the Undertaker?

168
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 3>No?

169
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>But man, was he a monster in his own right.

170
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he should have been compared to the Undertaker.

171
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I say that is because there is

172
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:45.399
<v Speaker 2>nobody like the Undertaker. When Cain debuted, he was a

173
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 2>complete monster, ripped the door off the cell, ends up

174
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>tombstoning the Undertaker, and from there it produced a program

175
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 2>for the Undertaker and Caine to face each other at

176
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:06.080
<v Speaker 2>WrestleMania A fourteen. It was just, oh my gosh. And

177
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>when you look and when you guys heard that chair

178
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 2>shot from Kine or from Undertaker to Sean Michaels, that

179
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.759
<v Speaker 2>was one of the most just flush brutal chair shots.

180
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Michaels is covered in blood. He cut himself perfectly. The

181
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 2>story leading up to this because to me, that is

182
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 2>so important. They had a series of matches before this

183
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.879
<v Speaker 2>that psychologically made sense to put these two in a cell.

184
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.000
<v Speaker 2>They had a one on one match, they had a

185
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I believe a lumberjack match at Ground Zero, the pay

186
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.120
<v Speaker 2>per view before this, in which it ended in a

187
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 2>no contest and Michaels is able to escape. So their

188
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.559
<v Speaker 2>third match should be a hell in a cell. It

189
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 2>wasn't just a a pay per view built into the

190
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 2>schedule of the year that we now have, which and

191
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the mystique of the cell is all but gone. And

192
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 2>it's not only gone because of the fact that it's

193
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.720
<v Speaker 2>just built into the schedule and whatever rivalries happen to

194
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 2>be going on at that time, they're going to put

195
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 2>them in the cell. It's it's that the stories don't warrant.

196
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>They don't warrant the cell. These two, of course are

197
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Hall of famers, but the story was perfect. And then

198
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 2>having the loss to the Undertaker or the loss to

199
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Shawn Michaels at the hands of Cain was just it

200
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 2>was a just a moment. And I at that time,

201
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I was twelve years old.

202
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 4>I told you this.

203
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I was twelve years old, and I'm thinking that this

204
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.759
<v Speaker 2>is the you know, I kind of know it's fake.

205
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I had a friend who introduced me to it, introduced

206
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 2>me to wrestling. And I'll say his name because there's

207
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 2>the odds of him listening. I mean, who cares. His

208
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>name was Derek Adams and I went to a Catholic

209
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:04.159
<v Speaker 2>school with him, and he introduced me to wrestling. And

210
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 2>when he told me about it, he yeah, how cool

211
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 2>it was, and you know, he let me know that that's,

212
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, fake, But I was looking at it and

213
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I was like, are you sure this is fake? You know,

214
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 2>like these guys were laying in each other and I

215
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>was watching this rivalry between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker,

216
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 2>and they were so convincing. The story was so convincing.

217
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 2>And I remember, and I was just watching the promo

218
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 2>video of the workers who were brought in flown in

219
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:37.919
<v Speaker 2>from all over the country to build the cell and

220
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 2>they had this really just dramatic music in the background

221
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:46.679
<v Speaker 2>and it's never been done before. It was just amazing,

222
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 2>and it is just an example of what you can

223
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:55.120
<v Speaker 2>do with great storytelling. And yes, it didn't hurt that

224
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:59.159
<v Speaker 2>these two are all star Hall of Fame, first ballot

225
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Famers, I mean, of course, but it was

226
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:08.600
<v Speaker 2>just in the match itself, of course, where you had

227
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Undertaker dominate Shawn Michaels for the majority of the match,

228
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:17.399
<v Speaker 2>a couple of hope spots for Sean getting some offense,

229
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 2>and you know, one of the standout moments for me

230
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.039
<v Speaker 2>is when Sean hit that sweet Chin music on Undertaker.

231
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.720
<v Speaker 2>An Undertaker sold it for about three seconds and then

232
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:32.600
<v Speaker 2>sat up and then Michael's just went ballistic. Didn't know

233
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 2>what to do. It was good timing for a referee

234
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 2>who had just taken a bump to escape the cage.

235
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Escapes the cage or excuse me, the cell escapes the

236
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>cell and then ends up taking a bump about halfway

237
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.720
<v Speaker 2>up the cell, off of the cell into in the

238
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>announced tables, and just so well done. Michael's bloodied. I mean,

239
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.840
<v Speaker 2>he looked like a million bucks. And I mean that

240
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.559
<v Speaker 2>as a compliment. I don't mean that facetiously sarcastically. Shawn

241
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Michaels caught himself just perfectly for that crimson mask, as

242
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.519
<v Speaker 2>they say, and it just added to the drama. And

243
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I missed the blood once in a while, I really do.

244
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I miss the blood. And I know that that's not

245
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.799
<v Speaker 2>going to create ratings in and of itself. I know

246
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.559
<v Speaker 2>that's a PG environment now, But sometimes blood is warranted,

247
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 2>and in this case, it was absolutely warranted based on

248
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:32.240
<v Speaker 2>how hot their feud was. And you're in hell in

249
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 2>a cell, so it made total sense. And it happened

250
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 2>when undertaker catapulted Shawn Michael's into the outside of the

251
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.360
<v Speaker 2>cell when they eventually made it to the outside. And

252
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.159
<v Speaker 2>if you watch, you can actually see Shawn Michael's cutting

253
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:55.240
<v Speaker 2>himself as he's being catapulted into the cell. But you know,

254
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I just try to suspend my disbelief there and pretend

255
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.440
<v Speaker 2>that didn't happen. But it was Again, guys, I just

256
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 2>can't say enough about this match. You know, was it

257
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>a five star classic by today's standards? No? Not by

258
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:14.559
<v Speaker 2>today's standards. That we have now re kind of rejiggered

259
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 2>or reconstructed our five star rating system. In other words,

260
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.279
<v Speaker 2>what we as fans think of as five star matches.

261
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Now you'd look back and go, really, Matt, this is

262
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:34.039
<v Speaker 2>a you think this is a five star match. Well,

263
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:39.559
<v Speaker 2>here's the difference between then and now. Now we look

264
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:43.919
<v Speaker 2>at five star matches as only what happens inside the ring.

265
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.360
<v Speaker 2>How many cool flips and flops somebody can do in

266
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.240
<v Speaker 2>near falls we can have versus back then, when things

267
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:59.480
<v Speaker 2>the pace was slower and the story was better. Do

268
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:04.519
<v Speaker 2>you wonder that last line the story was better. Stories

269
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:11.759
<v Speaker 2>and storytelling can make up for a lackluster physical portion.

270
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:12.079
<v Speaker 3>Of the match.

271
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.680
<v Speaker 2>And you may, you know, you may go back and again,

272
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 2>you're probably those of you who haven't seen it gonna

273
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.160
<v Speaker 2>think that I'm crazy for thinking that's a five star match.

274
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 2>But in my mind it was not, just because it's nostalgia,

275
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:31.160
<v Speaker 2>so I, you know, kind of artificially inflate my perception

276
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.599
<v Speaker 2>of what it was back then because it was just

277
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 2>so cool. But no, it was because it was just

278
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.200
<v Speaker 2>one of those perfect stories. I mean, look how Undertaker

279
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:44.920
<v Speaker 2>and Sean did it WrestleMania twenty five that many believe

280
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 2>save that WrestleMania that was a classic. They are just

281
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.039
<v Speaker 2>peanut butter and jelly when they get in there. Their

282
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:59.000
<v Speaker 2>styles compliment each other. They wouldn't need twenty nineteen, but

283
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.200
<v Speaker 2>they did back in two thousand and nine when they

284
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.519
<v Speaker 2>face each other at WrestleMania twenty five and then obviously

285
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.680
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen ninety seven collision that they had at Bad Blood.

286
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:14.440
<v Speaker 2>So again, you guys, I just I love it. I'd

287
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.160
<v Speaker 2>highly recommend it anybody to go take a look and

288
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.079
<v Speaker 2>it just trust me when I say this, though, you

289
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:23.200
<v Speaker 2>can't look at it and judge it by today's standards

290
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.000
<v Speaker 2>because the product has changed so much in twenty two

291
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 2>years that your ideology and your idea of what a

292
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:37.559
<v Speaker 2>five star match is evolves, and what it is now

293
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:39.559
<v Speaker 2>may not be what it was back then, at least

294
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:44.680
<v Speaker 2>in your mind, but in real time, in that era,

295
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.319
<v Speaker 2>in that moment, it was one of the best matches

296
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:52.599
<v Speaker 2>I've ever seen, especially in Number one. Main reason is

297
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.640
<v Speaker 2>a story it told, which is all we want to do, right.

298
00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's what professional wrestling is. So highly recommend

00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back, Thank you guys for sticking with me.

338
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Some little news I want to go over here is

339
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:24.039
<v Speaker 2>this whole controversy of Kurt Angle in the fans being

340
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:27.720
<v Speaker 2>outraged that Baron Corbin was his selection for his final

341
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 2>opponent at WrestleMania thirty five. And I give you, guys

342
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:35.039
<v Speaker 2>my opinion on this in my show last time, and

343
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.160
<v Speaker 2>while I'm not thrilled with it, I don't think anybody's

344
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.759
<v Speaker 2>thrilled with it. And now, guys, this is of course,

345
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 2>assuming that this is going to stick. WW could very

346
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 2>well may switch his opponent out for as we all

347
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.440
<v Speaker 2>hope John Cena or another opponent of his choosing that

348
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.279
<v Speaker 2>is much more high profile. And I'm sorry, deserving of

349
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:57.720
<v Speaker 2>a WrestleMania spot with the guy this is Kurt freaking Angle,

350
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean the Olympic gold meda. I don't care if

351
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:06.599
<v Speaker 2>you think that his TNA days tarnished his WWE legacy.

352
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:12.240
<v Speaker 2>It hasn't, it is not, And Kurt Angle is deserving

353
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.839
<v Speaker 2>of more than Baron Corbyn. That's again, Baron Corbin's just

354
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:21.279
<v Speaker 2>not anywhere near Kurt Angle's level of accomplishment and having

355
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:24.680
<v Speaker 2>him at WrestleMania face Kurt Angle for in his final

356
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:28.279
<v Speaker 2>match just to me, while storyline wise, I will fully

357
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:32.880
<v Speaker 2>admit makes sense. It's not a WrestleMania makes sense moment.

358
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 2>This is a this needs to be a feel good

359
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:39.079
<v Speaker 2>moment for Kurt, who needs just to tap somebody out

360
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:42.119
<v Speaker 2>and right off into the sunset and call it a career.

361
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what it needs to be. And I

362
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:50.000
<v Speaker 2>just hope it's not Baron Corbyn, but I'll watch if

363
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.599
<v Speaker 2>it's Baron Corbyn, you know, a watch. But I'm not

364
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.279
<v Speaker 2>outraged like most fans are. I'm not freaking out. I'm

365
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:00.640
<v Speaker 2>just kind of disappointed that it's like, oh, okay, it

366
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:06.079
<v Speaker 2>makes sense, but I'm sorry, Baron Corbyn is not big enough,

367
00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:10.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not sorry. Corbyn is not a big name,

368
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:16.000
<v Speaker 2>end of subject, and it's not WrestleMania worthy. So that's that.

369
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:18.440
<v Speaker 2>And again that's one of the few times you guys

370
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>will hear me say that it's not worth even the

371
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:24.519
<v Speaker 2>storyline to have a guy in there, but it's it

372
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:28.400
<v Speaker 2>is Kurt Angle's last match, so that kind of washes

373
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:33.200
<v Speaker 2>out that. But some late breaking news that Kurt Angle

374
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.519
<v Speaker 2>is going to be facing aj Styles on SmackDown Live

375
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.680
<v Speaker 2>this week. That's a channel changer. I mean, these two

376
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:45.680
<v Speaker 2>have a story history in TNA. There's no doubt that

377
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:49.359
<v Speaker 2>the ability of AJ styles far out weighs Kurt Angle

378
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.839
<v Speaker 2>at this point in his career. So it'll be interesting

379
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:53.759
<v Speaker 2>to see how these two mesh. I think that they

380
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:57.160
<v Speaker 2>will mesh. Just find the problem is Kurt Angle is,

381
00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:59.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, two and a half steps slower than he was.

382
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>His body has got a thousand miles on it. I said,

383
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 2>that's not a whole lot, about one hundred thousand miles

384
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:09.880
<v Speaker 2>on it. And he is just he just father time

385
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:12.680
<v Speaker 2>has gotten to him and injuries and everything else. You know,

386
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 2>he's taken probably you know, hundreds of thousands of pumps

387
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.400
<v Speaker 2>in his career. I mean, it's just called time to

388
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.279
<v Speaker 2>call it. But it'd be interesting and cool to see

389
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Kurt face AJ Styles and what I'm sure will end

390
00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 2>up being a some kind of non finish as Randy

391
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Orton may interject himself in in the match, and as

392
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:36.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, we probably won't get a finish that smells

393
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:41.400
<v Speaker 2>of a of a non finish. So that was just

394
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.319
<v Speaker 2>some late breaking news on the kurd Angle front. And

395
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:47.400
<v Speaker 2>you know some of the things I want to talk

396
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.039
<v Speaker 2>about it. You know, I talked quickly on the blood

397
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I know, I don't need blood, but sometimes man blood

398
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 2>just adds to the story, even if it's by accident.

399
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Think about what happened with Brock Leathern at WrestleMania a

400
00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:00.880
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago. Think about what happened to Becky

401
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Lynch more recently, when she accidentally got her face busted

402
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:08.079
<v Speaker 2>open by Nia Jacks. It was an iconic moment. Becky

403
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:10.480
<v Speaker 2>has sold thousands of shirts by that accident.

404
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.440
<v Speaker 3>It just makes sense.

405
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:17.279
<v Speaker 2>So kind I'm just kind of scrolling through the news feed,

406
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:19.839
<v Speaker 2>and I was earlier too as well. You know, I

407
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.440
<v Speaker 2>hate to dwell on this Triple Threat match. I really do.

408
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 2>I really really don't like to dwell on Triple Threat because,

409
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:28.960
<v Speaker 2>as I said, I've kind of come to terms with

410
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the Triple Threat, so as many hours as I've spent

411
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 2>ranting on the fact that the triple thread is just stupid.

412
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:41.319
<v Speaker 2>It's stupid. I understand it, but they still think it's stupid,

413
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm I don't want to say I'm bored

414
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 2>by this. I just don't know what to think about

415
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:52.599
<v Speaker 2>it anymore. And not because I want one on one

416
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 2>we all know that, but but because the storyline is

417
00:25:55.559 --> 00:26:02.279
<v Speaker 2>just so convolutedly ridiculous, and again it's filled with arrests

418
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:08.079
<v Speaker 2>and non life threatening ongoing forever injuries by Becky Lynch

419
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 2>and Ronda going quote rogue and calling out the business

420
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:17.839
<v Speaker 2>and trying to get attention by calling wrestling fake. Well,

421
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.839
<v Speaker 2>that gets you attention, but that's not good attention. Attention

422
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:22.440
<v Speaker 2>is good attention?

423
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.160
<v Speaker 3>No, no, it's not.

424
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:26.880
<v Speaker 2>That's what fools tell you. That's what fools tell you.

425
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:30.799
<v Speaker 2>So you know, if she's trying to create a buzz,

426
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.759
<v Speaker 2>will she created a buzz and also buried the rest

427
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of the roster for calling wrestling fake, you know, and

428
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:42.519
<v Speaker 2>WWE trying to create Becky version two point zero by

429
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:48.519
<v Speaker 2>having Charlotte go crazy and try to basically duplicate the

430
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.440
<v Speaker 2>success of Becky by having Charlotte turn into that dark

431
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:57.319
<v Speaker 2>character who just went that crazy on Ronda at Survivors Series.

432
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:01.279
<v Speaker 2>And it just was, I don't this whole build, And

433
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:05.039
<v Speaker 2>I know there's a couple of weeks ago, but why

434
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 2>put the fans through this. I'm not following the logic.

435
00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:10.759
<v Speaker 2>I know they have time to fill, but this could

436
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:15.039
<v Speaker 2>have been a very straightforward match. Straightforward is not always bad.

437
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes having too many people in the room with creative

438
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:24.160
<v Speaker 2>can create mayhem. You ever heard the analogy too many

439
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 2>cooks in the kitchen. Well, I think that this is

440
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 2>a victim of that. But I'm still looking forward to it,

441
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:33.559
<v Speaker 2>but I'm starting to get bored by it. And boy,

442
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:34.799
<v Speaker 2>has Becky Lynch cooled off? You?

443
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Guys?

444
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Listen to my last show, I gave you reasons why

445
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:40.799
<v Speaker 2>and reasons why I thought. I think and still believe

446
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:47.240
<v Speaker 2>that WWE is intentionally cooling off Becky Lynch. Yeah, intentionally, yes,

447
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I said intentionally. So again, guys, Tomorrow, Monday Night Raw

448
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:58.599
<v Speaker 2>should be very telling. We have a SmackDown Live that

449
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:01.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking forward to as well with Kurdan in aj styles.

450
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:05.640
<v Speaker 2>And we are creeping closer and closer to WrestleMania, which

451
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:12.359
<v Speaker 2>is fourteen days away. Two weeks until WrestleMania. And of course,

452
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.480
<v Speaker 2>for those of you who are baseball fans, Opening Day

453
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:18.480
<v Speaker 2>it seems really early this year. Typically it's not until

454
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the first week April March twenty eighth. Oh, you know,

455
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:24.359
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be playing in snow. Some teams are

456
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:26.440
<v Speaker 2>going to be playing in snow. It's just I don't

457
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:28.839
<v Speaker 2>know why it needs to start this starlier. I love baseball,

458
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:32.599
<v Speaker 2>but boy does it feel early this year, March madness

459
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 2>is going on. There's just if you're a sports fan,

460
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:39.440
<v Speaker 2>everything's heating up. It is a great time to be

461
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:44.440
<v Speaker 2>a sports fan. Baseball, basketball, wrestling. I mean it is

462
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.319
<v Speaker 2>a it's a cool time to pay attention to sports.

463
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.440
<v Speaker 2>So well, guys, thank you for sticking with me here.

464
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.519
<v Speaker 2>I will be back later this week Wednesday night. You

465
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:57.720
<v Speaker 2>know why, I know exactly Wednesday night because I will

466
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:01.480
<v Speaker 2>be traveling and I'll have a hotel room myself, which

467
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:04.880
<v Speaker 2>means I can do it in a quiet space and

468
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:08.359
<v Speaker 2>I will be able to deliver a raw and SmackDown

469
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:13.759
<v Speaker 2>live review show with only at that time, what do

470
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I have? How many days to WrestleMania. We're going to

471
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.599
<v Speaker 2>count down here, folks, eleven days to wrestle Mania at

472
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.359
<v Speaker 2>that point, it's coming quick. But thank you guys for

473
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:24.799
<v Speaker 2>joining me. And don't go anywhere though, because I just

474
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:27.359
<v Speaker 2>have a couple last words from the sponsors of the show.

475
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:31.079
<v Speaker 2>I think you'll enjoy these quick mentions and then you

476
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.799
<v Speaker 2>can head out into the sunset. But thank you guys

477
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.079
