Like the first day, I didn't even 117 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.399 notice the commercial. I didn't notice him. I didn't really 118 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.360 get into the matches being too short, didn't even notice 119 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:06.800 any of that. 120 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.879 I was entertained by what was going on. 121 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.079 The only thing that stood out to me night one 122 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:21.000 at night two was the referees at times getting getting buried. 123 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.639 Yeah, yes, you know. 124 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.920 I'm like, okay, I look and I see I think 125 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.480 Seth Robbins out the ring and he's been out the 126 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.279 ring for at least you know, two, two, three minutes, 127 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.079 and the referees just at four and he never goes 128 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.839 back in the ring, and the referee never starts counting anymore. 129 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.439 You know, Brian Breaker, he comes down, I'm like. 130 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.639 Where's the referee? The referee was in the ring counting? 131 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.639 Why is he out of the ring now? You know, 132 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:55.879 it's little things like that. 133 00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.720 And bro my reason for that right because was so 134 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.759 fast through didn't see it. All he saw was a 135 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:09.800 blur and selling his ribs or whatever it was. That's 136 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:10.360 my explace. 137 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.600 Why I can I can see him not seeing it, 138 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.920 but why was the referee not in the ring anymore. 139 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.120 Oh, he was checking on gun there? Why with look 140 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.120 at table spot something like that, with gun through and 141 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.519 stuff like a pedigun on table something like that. 142 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.639 It was something, but he did he really had no 143 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.320 reason to go outside the ring. Go out there, you 144 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.080 check on him, and you get back in the ring. 145 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.159 You know, we always see them go out there when 146 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:40.720 there's a big bump outside the ring. 147 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.480 But get back in the ring and do your job 148 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.159 and count. I mean, there should have. 149 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.080 Been a double DQ before it even got to the 150 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.279 table spot because they've been out there for like five minutes. 151 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.399 Since we're talking about referees not you know, calling stuff 152 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:57.600 and not seeing things or seeing things not calling stuff. Right, 153 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.919 let's just let's just fast all the way for to 154 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:08.159 night at night two using the steel steps right in 155 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:13.480 front of the referee. Who'say from me? Yes, Why wouldn't. 156 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.240 I have zero clue in that one? Because and I 157 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.120 heard Michael Cole say, well, the referee is showing some 158 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.159 discussion right here. 159 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:24.799 He said that. 160 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.080 Michael Cole did say that the referee is showing some 161 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:30.320 some discretion. 162 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.279 However, come on, I get it. 163 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.279 If you throw somebody into the stairs, it's part of 164 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.559 the ring. But the minute you pick the stairs up, 165 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:46.759 it's a weapon. Yes, right right, so it's you know, 166 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.240 it's no longer part of the ring once you pick 167 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:53.960 up the stairs and and so yeah that that should 168 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.639 have been a d Q right there, and and for 169 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.639 him to look at the referee and and do it anyway, 170 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.360 you know, And he started out all right, you know, 171 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.840 he rest of his counting, he slid back in the ring, 172 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:10.000 He slid back out like okay, cool, we're gonna. 173 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:11.799 Have a good match. And then he does that, and 174 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.679 like what the hell? That that stood out to me, 175 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:17.360 like he. 176 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.399 Man, this, why why not? I'm being up? He's a rap. 177 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.960 It's a sight while I find him because I better 178 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:31.600 brandon five dollars to see him was gonna win or whatever? 179 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.840 Is that? 180 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.720 Yeah, that was a bad bet. I mean, there was 181 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:41.759 no way to take that. 182 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:42.320 You should have. 183 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:42.919 Taken that one. 184 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.440 Why why do you say that? 185 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.559 I mean you even when you look at that, I 186 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:56.759 mean that was this was Romans, this Romans win. 187 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.279 So let's do something like that? Might saying that women. 188 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:05.639 No, no, I mean you gotta, you gotta you really 189 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.399 had to put a jolt into what was going on. 190 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.720 Roman is the biggest star. He is the and they 191 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.600 needed to put a jolt because ratings have been slipping. 192 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:20.240 They and you can tell a lot more story with 193 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.759 Roman right now than you can't a Punk, and and 194 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.559 so the you had to go with Roman winning. 195 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:30.240 And obviously. 196 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:36.720 Here's here's where the believability in wrestling happens. To me, Right, 197 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.960 if you stand aj Lee and Becky beside each other, 198 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.279 would you believe. 199 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.320 Without help or. 200 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.480 Something, that aj Lee could beat her just in a 201 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:50.200 straight up fight. 202 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.120 I know where you're going with this guy, Say yes, 203 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:53.759 I do. 204 00:11:55.639 --> 00:12:00.960 Okay, just because she's from Jersey, I mean I think, 205 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.039 But no, I mean you could Punk. And granted I 206 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.039 give Punk all the credit in the well, he looked 207 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.559 like he was in the best shape he's been in 208 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.039 in ten years, ten to fifteen years, like he he 209 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.279 I really give him credit for taking it serious and 210 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.080 getting in shape because he looked good last night. But 211 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:28.039 you still like that version of Roman, like I cannot 212 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.879 see Punk beating Roman. There was no believability in that 213 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:32.200 to me. 214 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:38.399 I'll say this real quick, right, I thought, maybe maybe 215 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:42.080 like some some some some snowballs. Chance, maybe they were 216 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:46.200 like even a score. Because in twenty thirteen, Roman did 217 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:51.120 see him punk on Raw. No remember stats, but yeah 218 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:57.000 remember that and rollmanrium six stool a heels part of 219 00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:03.360 Shield and was about to win Outlaws turned heel and 220 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:04.200 call from the match. 221 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.440 Yeah, I have no knowledge of that whatsoever, but. 222 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.200 I think like the old old school night whatever they 223 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:11.919 call it. 224 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.799 Yeah, you know, as a whole. 225 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.120 I I was entertained. 226 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:22.919 Like I said, I stayed off social media during the show. 227 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.840 I was texting with two of my buddies throughout night 228 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.360 one at night two watching the show, and I didn't 229 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.200 get caught up into I didn't even realize how short 230 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.039 the matches were. Like I looked up and I was like, wow, 231 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:40.320 it's just after you know, it's just after ten o'clock 232 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.039 and the show's over. Like that's all right, you know, 233 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:55.159 and yeah, gudea. So I didn't notice how how short 234 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.639 any of the matches were that people were complaining about. 235 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.440 I'm like, to me, it's about. 236 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:06.480 WWE has told you, especially the last couple of years, 237 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.720 the way they've done the Hall of Fame, right, and 238 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.840 they've had that new category for like moments, right that 239 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:22.679 it's about moments, not headlocks.

We all said Roman's entry 262 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.960 is gonna take a half hour, then take a half hour. 263 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.000 Then you goat stays up a good ten minutes, then 264 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.120 to Logs and hell Longs and yeah, but. 265 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.639 They told both hats off to Roman and Punk Man. 266 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.200 I thought they told a great story throughout. I mean, 267 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.960 and the ending of it, right, the ending of it 268 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.679 goes back to Roman's promo when he said you're old. 269 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:30.799 Punk's body gave out on him, you know, I mean, 270 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.519 we've seen him do that spot several times over the 271 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.840 last couple of years, and when he got down to 272 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:43.080 him and Roman doing it, he couldn't do it because his. 273 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.120 Body gave out. He was old. 274 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.559 They were telling the story and the punishment was too 275 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.360 much for him. So, I mean, I thought it was 276 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.440 a great story that they told throughout, and. 277 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.840 I enjoyed the main event, but. 278 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.160 I think I think out of the main events, it 279 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:06.559 was probably one of the better main events over the. 280 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.480 Last few years. 281 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:09.839 Okay, real quick as you are. 282 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:15.160 Recording, despite the referee, but go ahead, real. 283 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.039 Quick as we're as we're recording right now. I just 284 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.000 want to just a second ago, right, the wrestling in 285 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.039 the Nerds podcast just dropped. Everybody stop us. It goes 286 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.480 to that nothing the Nerds just came out just now, 287 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.799 what's many forty we're talking about to also check it 288 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.599 out real quick. What are you saying, you're just cutting 289 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:37.000 off again. 290 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:43.839 Yeah, I was just and despite despite the referees, you know, 291 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.880 I just I enjoyed that that main event. I mean, 292 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:53.920 I go back tonight one. I actually enjoyed the match 293 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:58.720 with Cody and Roman, Cody and Randy. Yeah, I enjoyed 294 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.359 the match. I mean, people were screaming about Jelly Row 295 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.799 being involved. I'm like, the match hadn't even started at 296 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:04.400 that point. 297 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.279 That was that was so bad. It was awesome. 298 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:13.200 It was yeah, I mean him doing that little his 299 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.079 little move or whatever. I'm like, he's not a wrestler, 300 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:21.599 so he's not supposed to do it perfect. But I 301 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:27.559 you know, I still I still like them getting you know, getting. 302 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:30.480 Old boy out the way. 303 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.680 I mean, yeah, he took him out the way and 304 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.240 then he comes back. So I'm sure that there's gonna 305 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:39.920 there's gotta be some little social media leak at some 306 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.079 point of something backstage of him getting the referee outfit. 307 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.200 There'll be something on social media as something that's so 308 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.279 whether we got to watch the next unreal to see 309 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.480 it happen or whatever. But he's you know, how he 310 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.799 got the referee outfit to come back out there, and 311 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.519 I really think you know, people are like, well, why 312 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.359 why did Randy sit there in r KL because he 313 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:05.799 counted too slow? 314 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:09.960 So you have, yeah, good two things, right. I'm hoping 315 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.960 that they show him fighting referee and him like taking 316 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.839 to the closet, beat him up clothes. I hope that happens. 317 00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.200 I wanted to happen so badly. And number two is 318 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.160 I hate to beat this guy right now. I hate 319 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:27.839 to beat this guy right now, but I'm going to 320 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:34.599 just because you do realize right that, like there's no 321 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:38.400 reason why if he had counting three it'd be valid. 322 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:43.279 He's not a referee, so see, so why is Randy mad? 323 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.799 He's not a free to begin with. 324 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.039 Hey, he's got TKL behind his back. They could have 325 00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.559 made it official. I mean TK put him in there. 326 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:58.599 Nobody came out to stop him. That's the referee. Nobody 327 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:02.400 came out there.
