Speaker 1: From Gunther not having a match and EO Sky missing
Speaker 1: from a main storyline heading into WrestleMania, We're talking about
Speaker 1: the build to the Biggest Extravagunz WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: But how are you feeling about this? Aisha M.
Speaker 3: The build's kind of spooky. I'm having I'm trying to
Speaker 3: be optimistic. I have faith in them. It's not much faith,
Speaker 3: but I have faith in him. Hopefully we're able to
Speaker 3: kind of get back on the on the right track.
Speaker 3: I know they had the injury bug run through the
Speaker 3: WWE locker room, especially impacting the major stars in the
Speaker 3: in the locker room, and so they've been having the pivot.
Speaker 3: They've had to pull the trigger on dream matches and
Speaker 3: and on people they wouldn't have initially pulled the trigger on.
Speaker 3: And I mean, like I said, I'm trying to be optimistic.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm sort of kind of intrigued, but still waiting
Speaker 3: for the other shoot to fall. I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like this Rustumania reminds me of like
Speaker 1: a band with their new album, like last year's album. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it the year before that, Holy shit, I
Speaker 1: was like, that was the best album in the world.
Speaker 1: I don't think you ever top of that, and now
Speaker 1: I feel like you're just kind of putting songs together
Speaker 1: and they're not they're not clicking, but you are putting
Speaker 1: together an album.
Speaker 2: And that's what Russemania is this time around, where.
Speaker 1: Yes there are matches, Yes there are storylines, some I
Speaker 1: really care about, some I could care less about it,
Speaker 1: and some that don't even exist.
Speaker 2: Yet, which I find very surprising.
Speaker 1: So it's just one of those weird years where you're thinking, like,
Speaker 1: I feel like these injuries really screwed so many things up,
Speaker 1: and so now everyone really doesn't know what to do.
Speaker 2: There's a version of.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, well, one or two guys is down, like
Speaker 1: this is okay. Too many people have gone down. But
Speaker 1: yet if you look in the past, this has never
Speaker 1: stopped Russemani before. There have been injuries that have changed matches,
Speaker 1: things of that nature. So I don't really blame the injuries.
Speaker 1: I think it's very strange, like if I was running
Speaker 1: a company and if you see all these unreal episodes,
Speaker 1: with the way that room is and all these people,
Speaker 1: you would think there's backup plans for anything and everything
Speaker 1: or be able just to go okay, I have an idea,
Speaker 1: how about this person for this person instead of that person?
Speaker 2: Is that too hard to understand?
Speaker 3: It's I like to look at, you know, at storylines
Speaker 3: as if they're puzzle pieces, and like everything has to
Speaker 3: make sense, and in my eyes, like you can't just
Speaker 3: cut a new puzzle piece to fit something that it
Speaker 3: doesn't fit, you know, you might as well just go
Speaker 3: to the store and just buy a whole new puzzle
Speaker 3: and just do that one like to me, at least,
Speaker 3: like for example, the Vision, we've the whole vision situation.
Speaker 3: We were we were four guys strong at one point
Speaker 3: it was Logan Paul, Austin Theory, bron Breaker, and Bronson Reid.
Speaker 3: And then bron Breaker went down had to have surgery,
Speaker 3: and then right after that Bronson Reid went down, and
Speaker 3: and now we're just stuck with Austin Theory and Logan Paul.
Speaker 3: But there not the the top players within the Vision. Therefore,
Speaker 3: there's not much of a storyline that anyone can like
Speaker 3: sink their teeth in with regarding them. Because of course
Speaker 3: seth Rawlins has somewhat returned somewhat and it seems like
Speaker 3: he has his beef with with the Vision. But like
Speaker 3: the people in the Vision that he has his beef
Speaker 3: with is they're not even They're not even there anymore. So,
Speaker 3: so he's kind of just like spawning with eighty five
Speaker 3: other mask men. It's like a Loki from the Marvel
Speaker 3: Cinematic Universe and a whole bunch of duplicate castings happening
Speaker 3: and happening. There's a bunch of Seth Rolin look alikes
Speaker 3: running around in masks and everything, and yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 3: because they also have, what I think with the Vision's
Speaker 3: situation with Seth, they also have La Knight who is
Speaker 3: now in the mid and the USO's who also are
Speaker 3: in the mix. So that's like four guys against just two.
Speaker 3: And let us stay planned on having Paul Hayman and
Speaker 3: Seth Rowlins duke it out in the middle of the
Speaker 3: ring for WrestleMania, which I mean, at this point, it
Speaker 3: could happen. With the way everything's going, it could happen.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I wouldn't even if they didn't have Rollin's attack
Speaker 1: Hayman and him with a chair and do the curve
Speaker 1: stomp already, man, I honestly wouldn't have been upset, like, oh,
Speaker 1: Seth Rowlin's's hurt, so we can't wrestle all right, Let's
Speaker 1: do a segment with Paul Haman, you know, and have
Speaker 1: him sneak out behind him and do that to have
Speaker 1: all these seth Rowlands look alike show up.
Speaker 2: And you're like, oh shit worthy, Like that would.
Speaker 1: Have been a great WrestleMania moment. But keep doing it
Speaker 1: every week. Then try to do it WrestleMania. It could be,
Speaker 1: it could be interesting, But you're right with the vision.
Speaker 1: If I was Logan, Paul, I would get out as
Speaker 1: fast as I can out of that sinking ship. Like
Speaker 1: talk about when you know someone else's stink lands on
Speaker 1: on you, that's happening to him, Like, honest to god,
Speaker 1: everyone only says how great look, and Paul is I've
Speaker 1: always agreed to. But when you're this up here and
Speaker 1: then you get stuck with that and you keep it's
Speaker 1: like holy shit.
Speaker 2: Where you're going, Oh my god, you're in the basement.
Speaker 2: What are you doing down there?
Speaker 3: Well? You know, I mean Austin theory. They've had a
Speaker 3: lot of they've they've put a lot into or invested
Speaker 3: a lot into Austin theory over the years, and then
Speaker 3: like putting them with Paul Hayman in a sense, was
Speaker 3: supposed to elevate them, because when you're with Paul Hayman,
Speaker 3: you you become one of the best of the best.
Speaker 3: You're like a future top guy, Like we're gonna get
Speaker 3: you that championship in the next few years. But like
Speaker 3: with Paul Hayman involved Steal, it doesn't seem like it's
Speaker 3: is helping. The fans aren't really interested or invested in
Speaker 3: what division got going on. Paul Hayman just doesn't. He
Speaker 3: seems very out of place now that it is just
Speaker 3: Logan Paul ally theory because usually the guys that he
Speaker 3: managed are big and scary and very very dominant and
Speaker 3: powerful and awesome theory, and Logan and Paul are the
Speaker 3: exact opposite of that. I mean, they can try to
Speaker 3: make that dog look scary, but I don't know how
Speaker 3: well they're gonna do with trying. But I mean I
Speaker 3: support it.
Speaker 2: I guess it's a Fields experiment in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Seth Rawlins, seth Rawlins and Paul him and getting together
Speaker 1: at Wrestlinia last year.
Speaker 2: That was just for a great moment, like a double turn.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he screwed Roman and sium punk oh.
Speaker 1: And then after that, I was like, well, what do
Speaker 1: we do next? And was like, I don't know. But
Speaker 1: that was a great moment, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was, But what is next? We don't We don't know,
Speaker 1: And that's what I feel. They had all these great
Speaker 1: idea but then they had no way to continue the story.
Speaker 2: And I get it's wrestling. It's very hard. It's an
Speaker 2: endless story. There is no real end most of the time.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was strange.
Speaker 1: So Usso's and the Vision clearly tag team titles. The
Speaker 1: big topic I want to bring up though, is l
Speaker 1: A Knight. Okay, Well, if you have Seth Rollins kind
Speaker 1: of using his spooky powers on the Vision, okay, that's
Speaker 1: one thing you already have. The USSOS now clearly locked
Speaker 1: into Logan Paul and Austin theory tag team titles WrestleMania
Speaker 1: probably okay, So what.
Speaker 2: The Lee Knight doing there?
Speaker 1: Like, how is he supposed to get a WrestleMania match
Speaker 1: with Obah Family now locked up with brock Lesnar Gunther.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's been rumblings from what I from what
Speaker 3: I've heard that it was going to be Rayma Stereo
Speaker 3: and Gunther at WrestleMania, but Raymond Stereo has sustained a
Speaker 3: rib injury and that was right before the Royal Rumble,
Speaker 3: so he's been down for the count ever since. And
Speaker 3: then the Dragon League situation popped up, and then we
Speaker 3: thought that was going to be it. But I don't
Speaker 3: think they're doing anything with that either anymore, because I mean,
Speaker 3: they let dragon Lye have that match with Penta Monday
Speaker 3: without gun They're running up on anybody, but with La
Speaker 3: Night because it's quite apparent that whatever he has going
Speaker 3: on is going to involve the Vision and possibly the Bloodline.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not entirely sure what his direction is
Speaker 3: because Monday he told Jimmy and Jay after they had
Speaker 3: their little talk with Roman that that if they reform
Speaker 3: the Bloodline, they're gonna have problems with with him, and
Speaker 3: that could be something that ends up popping up. Who knows, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's he supposed to wrestle ifs are fighting the Vision?
Speaker 2: Seth Rollins probably can't wrestle.
Speaker 1: And what's he gonna do, like ellenh just gonna make Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a bad guy. Now I'm gonna fight you.
Speaker 1: Seth Rownds at Wrestlingia, like there is this weird scenario
Speaker 1: where it's like, Okay, what are we doing? Like, what
Speaker 1: are we doing with some of these people? Because really,
Speaker 1: who's left for l A. Knight to compete with?
Speaker 2: What I want?
Speaker 1: At least you obviously get for more tag team with
Speaker 1: some random person and being involved with a fatal four
Speaker 1: way tag team championship match was which is ridiculous and
Speaker 1: stupid and crazy.
Speaker 2: But what who could he fight?
Speaker 1: Realistically? Gum third to me is the only one the
Speaker 1: rest who is there?
Speaker 3: You're right, yeah, we're we're definitely scraping the bottom of
Speaker 3: the jar.
Speaker 2: Williams.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, yeah, listen, you're gonna say that there's
Speaker 1: a there's rules as someone's on one show and someone's
Speaker 1: on another.
Speaker 3: Okay, you got a point, You got a point. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know. The thing with Trick william is, it
Speaker 3: seems like they might have him do something with Sammy Zain,
Speaker 3: who was currently or slowly but surely coming off his rocker,
Speaker 3: and so Trick has been at the scene of the
Speaker 3: crime each and every time, like right after Sammy has
Speaker 3: crashed out, Trick has been there to instigate something. But
Speaker 3: I don't know. We still don't even know who took
Speaker 3: out Jacob Fatu. I guess they're going with the vision
Speaker 3: took out Jay On SmackDown despite Paul Haymon saying no
Speaker 3: to that, but dropped, Yeah I did.
Speaker 2: We can't forgot.
Speaker 3: Trick and l A. Knight would be really good because
Speaker 3: they're both great on the mic. They're both modern day
Speaker 3: versions of Booker T. And I guess Stone Col Steve Austin,
Speaker 3: and so it would be a little It'll be a
Speaker 3: special treat for the older fans for sure to be
Speaker 3: able to see these specific versions, well not these specific versions,
Speaker 3: but these people who kind of remind them of some
Speaker 3: of the greats of the Attitude era, because a lot
Speaker 3: of people speak so highly of Trick Williams and a
Speaker 3: lot of people really love La Night. And when you
Speaker 3: talk about Trick Williams, you see Booker T. Like you
Speaker 3: mentioned Booker T. He has a lot of Booker T's mannerisms.
Speaker 3: He carries himself with that same swagger. And so I
Speaker 3: wouldn't mind seeing it for sure, as long as Trick
Speaker 3: Williams goes over.
Speaker 2: Because oh yeah, yeah, let's just you can't.
Speaker 1: He's on fire right now, Like whatever you do with him,
Speaker 1: like I want him to be world champion like tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but that's just me. So if that can't happen until
Speaker 1: Backlash in Tampa, maybe who knows. So a big story
Speaker 1: coming out of Monday was Seth Rollins out there, Paul
Speaker 1: Hayman threatening Seth ronalds a brock Lesner. I think everyone's
Speaker 1: eyes hit hard and then roll in the back of
Speaker 1: their head thinking we're gonna get another brock Lesner Seth
Speaker 1: Rollins match, which again I was like, Okay, I see
Speaker 1: logically why you're doing this because the vision Seth Rollins,
Speaker 1: Brock's got no one to fight.
Speaker 2: You got a lot of problems here, Let's just throw
Speaker 2: this together.
Speaker 1: But when the lights went out and Obafemi came out,
Speaker 1: my god, that crowd stood up.
Speaker 2: They were there. I was there.
Speaker 1: I think everyone really enjoyed that moment of Opa Femmi
Speaker 1: power bombing brock Lesner setting up this matchup for WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: But is it going to be another moment where it's
Speaker 1: just remember that brock Lessons like o Mas Matcher, brock
Speaker 1: Lesnar versus just another big guy. He just comes out,
Speaker 1: just beats you up, throws you down. Or was Oba
Speaker 1: gonna be the one who's like, I'm tossing you around
Speaker 1: this whole time, and I'm gonna beat you, because that,
Speaker 1: to me is the right decision for business. Brock Lesner
Speaker 1: could lose and still be fine. Opa Femi losing, I
Speaker 1: guess he can be he'd be fine, but he's he'll
Speaker 1: lose a piece of his little his aura, his swag.
Speaker 3: I don't know if if Obo was to lose to
Speaker 3: brock Lesner, I don't know how he would recover from that, because,
Speaker 3: like I mean, you have a guy who's like at
Speaker 3: the top of his game or at the at the
Speaker 3: at the height of his career or popularity, and brock
Speaker 3: Lesner comes in and just he just oh my goodness,
Speaker 3: I can't even talk extinguished.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: He just puts out that fire. And so like Bobby Lashley,
Speaker 3: Kofi Kingston, you know, I think Biggie, I can't remember.
Speaker 2: It was that day? Was it day one? On money?
Speaker 2: That raw?
Speaker 3: I believe. So I think he's he's just put away
Speaker 3: a lot of really big, really strong, powerful talent, and
Speaker 3: we are kind of in a big guy shortage or
Speaker 3: drought at the moment. They don't really a lot, they
Speaker 3: don't really use big guys anymore. I mean, Omas has
Speaker 3: been hanging out in Triple A for a while now.
Speaker 3: We don't ever see him on Raw or SmackDown. Russif
Speaker 3: is kind of just like in the background as well.
Speaker 3: He's not really doing much. I mean, Otis doesn't really
Speaker 3: pop out. The war Raiders don't really pop out either.
Speaker 3: Oba's really it just the big guy that's like moving
Speaker 3: between Raw and SmackDown at this moment. And I feel
Speaker 3: like if they really wanted to solidify him as the
Speaker 3: next big thing, as the next dominant force or the
Speaker 3: force to be reckoned with in the next generation, they
Speaker 3: would have to make brock Lesner lay down for that three.
Speaker 3: I gotta I can't like if if we get to WrestleMania,
Speaker 3: we're all watching it, we see Oba and brock Lesnar
Speaker 3: just going at it. They're giving us a decent, you
Speaker 3: know show, and then Oba loses to eighty five f
Speaker 3: fives and that's it. I'm gonna be I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: highly pissed because what do you mean a guy that's
Speaker 3: been spamming f fives for the last few years just
Speaker 3: took out Oba Femi like one of the most dominant
Speaker 3: champions in NXT history, Like, I just don't. I don't
Speaker 3: feel like that would be a good idea, and I
Speaker 3: hope they they actually don't do it because I don't know.
Speaker 3: I fear for what the internet would look like the
Speaker 3: night it happens, the moment brock Lesner's music hit after
Speaker 3: the match, and then the entire week afterwards, I feel
Speaker 3: like the vibes is gonna be all off. No one's
Speaker 3: gonna be having fun. I don't know. I'm kind of scared.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for a business standpoint, opa Femi has
Speaker 1: been around for a few years, brock Lesson has been
Speaker 1: around decades, so most likely if I'm the wwe like
Speaker 1: how much we want to get the most money out
Speaker 1: of this storyline. But also with Brock still being dominant,
Speaker 1: people will keep buying his shit. Obafemi needs to create
Speaker 1: an audience to buy his stuff, to latch onto him
Speaker 1: and care about him. Him losing here will really suck,
Speaker 1: but they're probably like, well, because still sell brockolesnar F
Speaker 1: five T shirts, Super Lake City, Las Vegas baby right.
Speaker 2: Like something like that. I don't want it to happen.
Speaker 1: I want to open to win because it's been a
Speaker 1: long time in a lot many years where we sit
Speaker 1: wrestle aning with young talent versus older talent and then
Speaker 1: seeing are they gonna let this young talent get over
Speaker 1: so we can start a new era or start a
Speaker 1: new phase, not the Triple Ah new era, like an
Speaker 1: actual real new era, not him saying that every time
Speaker 1: he hears a microphone.
Speaker 2: In front of his mouth.
Speaker 3: It's what we do, you know.
Speaker 1: It's like, well we have you know, Golden Era, New
Speaker 1: Generation attitude, ruthless PG and.
Speaker 2: Then new era, the new era, the new era, the
Speaker 2: new era, new era. It's been a lot of it's
Speaker 2: been a lot of new eras that's what we do.
Speaker 1: But also another big storyline out of this past weeks
Speaker 1: raw was eos Sky coming down and getting involved with Aska.
Speaker 1: It feels like, so we're gonna get maybe that is
Speaker 1: a one on one match. And for the past year,
Speaker 1: you know, since WrestleMania last year, Eosky has been on
Speaker 1: a hot streak, very popular, getting over, has this taunt.
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to do it now, So like she's become
Speaker 1: a superstar. She was always great, but I feel like
Speaker 1: now she's finally become where y Ripley lands, where you
Speaker 1: hit a spot where like you could lose, you could win,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because you're over. But not having her
Speaker 1: set up in a right scenario heading into WrestleMania, and
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, uh that storyline with EO and Riha and
Speaker 1: Aska and Kyrie and had chokehold on every week's ride.
Speaker 1: I was done, I was tapped out, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to see it into WrestleMania.
Speaker 3: I I have been waiting patiently or impatiently, I suppose
Speaker 3: for Osca and EO to finally be a thing, because
Speaker 3: to me, Ria should have never been involved. I guess,
Speaker 3: I mean, I get it. EO was alone because she
Speaker 3: didn't have her people anymore. Damage Control kind of like
Speaker 3: kicked her out and excommunicated her. And then Rio was
Speaker 3: also fully alone because she was no longer with the
Speaker 3: Judgment Day Damian Priest had moved on to SmackDown. She
Speaker 3: had to finally find her footing on her own for
Speaker 3: the first time in a really long time, because she's
Speaker 3: for a majority of the time that she's been on
Speaker 3: the raw roster, she has been with the Judgment Day
Speaker 3: or with a faction of some sort. I know she
Speaker 3: had lived before that as a tag team partner, and
Speaker 3: then the judgment day, of course happened, and then after
Speaker 3: the Judgment day was the Terror Twins. So she's always
Speaker 3: had someone at her side and so her being able
Speaker 3: to kind of figure out who she is outside of that,
Speaker 3: and then eos also kind of doing the same thing,
Speaker 3: but they find each other. I mean, I enjoyed it,
Speaker 3: it was great, but it kind of kept delaying inevitable
Speaker 3: with OSCA and an EO. And so now that Ria
Speaker 3: is on SmackDown handling business with Jade, we can maybe
Speaker 3: just maybe finally start to put some focus on OSCA
Speaker 3: and EO and get that match out the way, because
Speaker 3: I don't know, I feel like if we don't get
Speaker 3: it after everything that has happened to build leading up
Speaker 3: to this very moment, I'm gonna be very disappointed. That's
Speaker 3: just something that they're gonna have to capitalize on. I
Speaker 3: hate when they pivot randomly and then they don't bother
Speaker 3: trying to tie up loose sinds. It just kind of
Speaker 3: push it off to the side, and they're just hoping
Speaker 3: to god you don't notice that they've kind of pushed
Speaker 3: it over to the side. I just I don't know,
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of that method of creativity. I suppose,
Speaker 3: so EO Osca definitely have to happen. I would love
Speaker 3: if EO won, that would be great, But then afterwards
Speaker 3: maybe she start looking at the Intercontinental Championship. I wouldn't
Speaker 3: mind seeing her in that picture after she's closed that
Speaker 3: door with Osca and Kyrie. But that door is still
Speaker 3: very much so open, and we can't just keep walking
Speaker 3: past it as if it's not open. There's a breeze
Speaker 3: coming in and it's a little cold outside, so we're
Speaker 3: gonna have to go and see what's up with that
Speaker 3: and closed that door at some point.
Speaker 2: Wow. Now that's a description and I like it.
Speaker 1: Uh, the EO and Asca, I believe they it was
Speaker 1: like what a year ago when they were had that
Speaker 1: back to back on the microphone and everyone was like, yes,
Speaker 1: give it to me now.
Speaker 2: It's just funny, Like I just was, you know.
Speaker 1: The way you described it made me feel actually excited
Speaker 1: for it, because before I was like the Tag team
Speaker 1: division all those matches, like it couldn't handle it anymore.
Speaker 2: Only all right, this is fun, okay, Oh we're still
Speaker 2: doing this. Oh okay, Like if WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: Doesn't end with Kyrie accidentally or costing asking them not
Speaker 1: costing asking the match, but the end Aska pushing Kyrie
Speaker 1: back and forth, being like, you.
Speaker 2: Cost me the match, ba ba ba, it was your fault.
Speaker 2: Why didn't you help me cheat?
Speaker 1: Then Kyrie builds up the strength slaps Aska and that's
Speaker 1: them breaking up at Russia. That to me would be great.
Speaker 1: So we'll see if that's really what's happening here at WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: But Gunpher retiring John Cena AJ Styles we talked about
Speaker 1: earlier mystereo. The story is he was gonna be the opponent.
Speaker 1: Now Gunther is uh without an opponent, and we.
Speaker 2: Think l A. Knight would be a good choice.
Speaker 1: But reality, like, would they bring back a legend just
Speaker 1: for Gunther to beat?
Speaker 2: Like Goldberg? We beat you? But are you busy in April?
Speaker 3: Shoot a text over to Bret Hart and see how
Speaker 3: he feels about it.
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, he he would show up. He would show up.
Speaker 3: He definitely would show up. I mean, I don't think
Speaker 3: there's any really, I mean, unless they decide if they
Speaker 3: really wanted to, they could have had Gunther pull up
Speaker 3: to Booker t appreciation night last night, and yeah, if
Speaker 3: they wanted to and we could have got Booker T
Speaker 3: versus gun there at WrestleMania. But then again, no one
Speaker 3: wants to see Booker go out like that.
Speaker 2: I don't think so for yourself.
Speaker 3: I mean, it might be very interesting, especially being like
Speaker 3: you know, Booker T's impact and influence, especially in NXT.
Speaker 3: How that would how that action like Gunther taking him
Speaker 3: out would like cause a ripple of opinions or comments
Speaker 3: from not only the NXT locker room, but like from
Speaker 3: people like fans around the world at least. And I
Speaker 3: definitely feel like Booker can for sure bring some type
Speaker 3: of intensity to that few that would possibly be lacking
Speaker 3: because of you know, gun The gun there is very
Speaker 3: much so terminator, and you gotta someone has to have
Speaker 3: the emotion on the other side of the of the
Speaker 3: ring in order for us to be interested in anything Gunther's.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm low key a hater. I'm lokey a
Speaker 3: hater right now. I mean, right now, I enjoy him.
Speaker 3: I enjoy him. My thing is I still kind of
Speaker 3: feel some type of way about them. Pivoting from after
Speaker 3: he lost to Jay Usso at last year's WrestleMania because
Speaker 3: he started to question his identity and who he was
Speaker 3: as a character, because I remember he went to Ludwig
Speaker 3: Kaiser and was like, you do still see me as
Speaker 3: the Ring General? Right? Like? Am I still him? And
Speaker 3: I feel like in that moment when they had him
Speaker 3: questioning himself and doubting himself, we should have seen him
Speaker 3: like develop some type of character and find his way
Speaker 3: back to remembering who he was and maybe even turned
Speaker 3: him face for a little bit. Who knows, But like
Speaker 3: they didn't do that at all, because imagine, you know,
Speaker 3: we would have eventually gotten Ludweg turning on on Gunther.
Speaker 3: We would have gotten a a a better imperium breakup
Speaker 3: rather than Ludwood kind of just lurking in the background
Speaker 3: until he found Grande Americana. Oh's mask like Jim Carrey and.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what are you talking you? I'm sorry what
Speaker 2: I don't know?
Speaker 3: I kind of recognized that walk. That's just me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're really throwing out some crazy scenarios right here,
Speaker 1: Like this isn't a political podcast, all right, no conspiracy.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just O g A one
Speaker 3: O GA one was here first, you know, original Grande Americana.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Someone's an impostor right, and we got to get to
Speaker 3: the bottom of this.
Speaker 2: This is true another storyline that will never end.
Speaker 1: I feel like they're just like, well, we gotta get
Speaker 1: all these things to WrestleMania, so we're just gonna just
Speaker 1: keep going. We need to keep going somehow here and
Speaker 1: it is pretty interesting and of course the two big
Speaker 1: matches Cray Rhodes versus Raindy Orton. Rainn Yorton recently was
Speaker 1: on the phone with someone using the worst is He
Speaker 1: used to say it via satellite to see you from
Speaker 1: when you're somewhere else, and boy, it was bad, bad,
Speaker 1: bad service where he was.
Speaker 2: But who is on the phone with raind ney Orton?
Speaker 2: People want to know.
Speaker 1: I did a little kind of video about it today
Speaker 1: and I was like, it should be it should be
Speaker 1: Shane McMahon. That's to who I think if you want
Speaker 1: to shake some shit up and make people go crazy,
Speaker 1: Seane McMahon, if it's gotta be like arn Andrews said,
Speaker 1: it'd be like, okay, I get it, you guys were together. Okay,
Speaker 1: if it's his father, and like, I need something to
Speaker 1: be holy shit, who made him go crazy? Who do
Speaker 1: you think made him go crazy? I know Also people
Speaker 1: say Rick Flair.
Speaker 3: He was on the line with Cricket wireless customer support,
Speaker 3: kept getting kept getting an automated person. He kept saying, representative, representative.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I feel like we've all been there where
Speaker 3: we've had to shout out the phone representative and the
Speaker 3: automated voice comes through and they're like, understand, what can
Speaker 3: I help you with today? Like, I'm sure that was
Speaker 3: what was going on the entire time, So that might
Speaker 3: have been who he was talking to. I mean, based
Speaker 3: off of the the quality of that camera. I mean,
Speaker 3: it was filmed on a Nokia. But in all seriousness, though,
Speaker 3: if I had to say, I mean, I've seen people
Speaker 3: say maybe it was Charlotte Flair that he was talking to,
Speaker 3: because I mean, I don't know something about Rick Flair,
Speaker 3: because Rick doesn't need to get any closer to a ring, honest,
Speaker 3: he does not need to get nowhere near.
Speaker 2: He doesn't need to get you know, he.
Speaker 3: Does, but Charlotte refuses. He was apparently teasing a match
Speaker 3: a few months back, and she got in a comment
Speaker 3: section on Twitter and was like, absolutely not. So I
Speaker 3: don't I don't know if she will allow him to
Speaker 3: even hop in those ropes but maybe Alistair Black, I mean,
Speaker 3: because Alistair was the one that was convincing him to
Speaker 3: kind of like give into the dark side and and
Speaker 3: embrace that because remember who you were.
Speaker 1: But who knows he was also on the line with
Speaker 1: Carrying Across then, because that's exactly what he was doing before.
Speaker 3: I think definitely, Yeah, it was a It was a
Speaker 3: conference call between Scarlett and Carrying, with Zilli and Alistair,
Speaker 3: and they were all just you know, siphoning in some
Speaker 3: negativity into that phone call, just bringing it in so
Speaker 3: Randy could absorb it and understand what has to be done,
Speaker 3: because what he did on Friday night to Cody was
Speaker 3: unbelievably savage. It was very Randy Orton coded. I was
Speaker 3: super proud. I was, but damn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well people, but seriously, like, come on, we saw
Speaker 1: for months and maybe even years now where Randy Orton
Speaker 1: was in the room with Cody Rhodes, and I didn't
Speaker 1: know where he'd lived, oh, because I was looking at
Speaker 1: the championship and they kept doing that and doing that
Speaker 1: for so long, and I was like, stop forgiving me.
Speaker 2: Wwould he gave me what I want and finally we're
Speaker 2: gonna get it.
Speaker 1: So they built up for a long time for this,
Speaker 1: and I wonder if they're going to bring up you know, hey,
Speaker 1: we were in a group together Legacy, like we were
Speaker 1: in a faction. Oh shit, he could be on the
Speaker 1: phone Ted Dbs the million Dollar Man, not his son.
Speaker 1: His son's kind of financial in trouble right now.
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know, I don't know, brother,
Speaker 3: you were.
Speaker 2: In Legacy million Dollar Man, but your son was. But
Speaker 2: we can't talk about him.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about you because you're a legend and
Speaker 1: people know who you and they like your laugh, So
Speaker 1: let's bring you in.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's on the phone, but I'm very
Speaker 1: excited for this match because of just you know, it's
Speaker 1: been going on for.
Speaker 2: A long time. We're building secretly for a very ass
Speaker 2: long time.
Speaker 1: And you know, recently seeing Punk said something about rum
Speaker 1: and Rain's his father who passed away. Are we gonna
Speaker 1: hear rum and Rains talk about Larry the Dog?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I I made a like a five
Speaker 3: minute analysis video on this, maybe like two or three
Speaker 3: days ago, where I was saying that Punk is someone
Speaker 3: who enjoys a reaction or a response from people that
Speaker 3: are that are staying across the ring from him. Roman
Speaker 3: is entirely too cool, calm and collected for anyone to rage.
Speaker 3: Bade him to be honest, and I made this. I said,
Speaker 3: I feel like Punk isn't talking to the tribal chief,
Speaker 3: Roman Reigns. I feel like he thinks that he's talking
Speaker 3: to the big dog version of Roman Reigns, because that
Speaker 3: is the last version of Roman that he remembers from
Speaker 3: over ten years ago when he first left the WWE.
Speaker 3: Because like he mentions the shield, he mentions the family.
Speaker 3: He you know, he's he's grasping at whatever he can
Speaker 3: to try to get a rise out of Roman, because
Speaker 3: he Roman made that tweet about how Punk looked tired
Speaker 3: and ring after elimination Chamber. Punk addressed it on the
Speaker 3: post show Talk to Shit. Went on the next week
Speaker 3: to see Roman, where you know, Roman ended up, you
Speaker 3: know well, Punk ended up saying, I'm gonna bury you
Speaker 3: next to your father. I'm fully I fully believe that
Speaker 3: he was expecting Roman to grab him and hit him,
Speaker 3: but Roman let him leave the ring. The next week,
Speaker 3: he was fully expecting for Roman to appear, but instead
Speaker 3: got the ussos, which pissed him off even more because
Speaker 3: why aren't you acknowledging me causing you all of these issues?
Speaker 3: Why are you not addressing the fact that I'm pissing
Speaker 3: you off like I'm a fly in your face and
Speaker 3: you won't swap me away, like what's going on? He
Speaker 3: just wants to be He just wants attention, and he
Speaker 3: was very adamant on the fact that the USOS came
Speaker 3: out there on behalf of Roman because he wants to
Speaker 3: to He wants to try to like, what's the word
Speaker 3: I'm using for? What am I looking for? He's he
Speaker 3: wants to be justified in his actions for what he's doing.
Speaker 3: So with the usso's coming out there and they're saying, no,
Speaker 3: we were there for our uncle, not Roman, and him
Speaker 3: proceeding to say, no, you were out there for Roman.
Speaker 3: Roman sent out his young boys. They're not cool like
Speaker 3: that anymore. So like, of course they have the same
Speaker 3: like their family. So of course the usso's were going
Speaker 3: to come out there and address that because Punk considers
Speaker 3: the usso's his friends, despite him saying that they were
Speaker 3: stupid a few weeks before and said that he had
Speaker 3: the gts for each one of them, and I don't
Speaker 3: know he was kind of disappointed because he was expecting Roman.
Speaker 3: Roman didn't show up, which meant Roman didn't care enough
Speaker 3: to show up. And then the next week Roman did
Speaker 3: show up and the first thing Punk says to him
Speaker 3: is I was fully expecting you to hit me when
Speaker 3: I got in this ring. But Roman didn't touch him,
Speaker 3: and then he kept saying, I'm in your head. I
Speaker 3: don't think he's saying that he's in Roman's head because
Speaker 3: he's in Roman's head. I feel like he is trying
Speaker 3: to convince himself that he is in Roman's head. But
Speaker 3: all Romans so told that man was you're old, and
Speaker 3: that was the that was the feather that broke the
Speaker 3: camel's back. Punk hit Roman and Roman didn't get up.
Speaker 3: He didn't give him that reaction that he wanted because
Speaker 3: he wanted to fight, like he wanted to fight with Seth,
Speaker 3: like he wanted to fight with Drew. Instead, Roman just
Speaker 3: laughed in his face. So, if anything Roman is in
Speaker 3: is in Punk's head. And I'm looking forward to seeing
Speaker 3: what happens on the Monday Day coming up because Roman
Speaker 3: will also still He'll be in the city and Punk
Speaker 3: will also be in town as well, I believe, And
Speaker 3: so they're going to share the ring again. But what's
Speaker 3: going to happen when that? When that happens, Like, is
Speaker 3: are we finally gonna get the Larry the Dog comment?
Speaker 3: Or are we just gonna continue to be nonchalant and cool.
Speaker 1: And we might have to wait till Larry of the
Speaker 1: Dog the week before WrestleMania, know, just to make sure
Speaker 1: we understand, Like because if you go a Layer of
Speaker 1: the Dog, now you got what two more weeks after that?
Speaker 2: Like where are you gonna go?
Speaker 1: We're gonna go, So you're gonna screw his wife for something?
Speaker 1: Like that's you know what I mean? Like where can
Speaker 1: you go next?
Speaker 3: He Roman technically put a hit out on Punk. So
Speaker 3: there's like eighty all the Samoans. So there's gonna be
Speaker 3: like eighty black SUVs pulling up to WrestleMania, just like
Speaker 3: we get like a Samoan lumberjack match, the entire families
Speaker 3: just around the ring while while Punk in Roman or
Speaker 3: hashing it out. And then every time Punk gets thrown
Speaker 3: outside the ring, he gets jumped. You know what, It's
Speaker 3: not a bad idea now that.
Speaker 2: I think about it, Samoe and Lumberjack match.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be Bloodline Rules.
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of it's a lot of music.
Speaker 1: Then if it's if it's Bloodline Rules, whe everyone's gonna
Speaker 1: come down and beat the ship out of them.
Speaker 2: Like okay, everyone gets an entrance, right because Rakishi down
Speaker 2: to the too cool music. It'll be dancing.
Speaker 3: See do you see the Rock popping up at all?
Speaker 3: Do you feel like he might pop up at any
Speaker 3: point during this? You know, seeing punk in the Rock
Speaker 3: have their history is not the best history whatsoever. So
Speaker 3: could you see that possibly happening? Man?
Speaker 2: I would love to. It's just.
Speaker 1: I was in Atlanta for Bad Blood and when the
Speaker 1: Rock So quick story though, I'm trying to find my
Speaker 1: way into the media entrance for Bad Blood. The door
Speaker 1: it's not the front door, it's like underneath the docks.
Speaker 1: So I go down there with actually Issa of the
Speaker 1: Demon Diva and Chris VanVleet and we're all trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how to get inside and go down to
Speaker 1: under the docks. A big jeep de drives by in
Speaker 1: front of us. It's the Rock and his daughter, and
Speaker 1: we're like, holy shit, the Rock's here, So I need
Speaker 1: for like three hours of rock. Was gonna show up
Speaker 1: a bad blood. So I'm sitting there. He shows up
Speaker 1: and he does like the one two three and cuts
Speaker 1: his throat. Everyone thinks everything's gonna go crazy. Nothing happened,
Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing happened. So I have a feeling nothing's gonna
Speaker 1: happen with The Rock anymore. And if it does, it's
Speaker 1: just because he woke up one morning and said, you
Speaker 1: know what, I feel like being involved right now?
Speaker 2: Like there there is no plane.
Speaker 1: It's like The Rock will just wake up and be like,
Speaker 1: I gotta promote Jumanji, but I think we can do
Speaker 1: this for two weeks. Does that sound good? Everyone's like,
Speaker 1: sure missed the Rock. That's what will happen if he
Speaker 1: is involved the.
Speaker 3: Way he the way he reacted to Cody at WrestleMania
Speaker 3: of forty and like during the what was it the
Speaker 3: the Kickoff show, I just feel like he would definitely
Speaker 3: spawn at some point because you don't talk about our family,
Speaker 3: don't fuck with the family. As as as The Rock
Speaker 3: has said, you know on his way out the building
Speaker 3: when he was talking to Triple H.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Final Boss would say that. But like there
Speaker 1: was the Final Boss and then there was I'm gonna
Speaker 1: cut you all. I'm gonna kill you all. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: and then there's hey, we're going to Netflix. Oh, Cody Rhodes,
Speaker 1: you're You're the greatest in the world. Give me a hug, buddy,
Speaker 1: Give me a hug. Dude, dude, do weren't you talking
Speaker 1: about Mama Rhodes beating the like killing her?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Like, there's there's no consistency
Speaker 2: if they want me to pretend, as you said earlier,
Speaker 2: don't you hate when they say do something and they
Speaker 2: try to push it to the side and said no, no, no,
Speaker 2: that didn't happen. This happened.
Speaker 1: And so if the Final Boss just appears one day
Speaker 1: and be like, that's great, he's back. But like you
Speaker 1: erased all your momentum by pretending that you weren't the
Speaker 1: Final Boss and you were there to talk about New
Speaker 1: Orleans and hugging Cody Rhodes.
Speaker 2: You know, I would be happy, No, I'm not stupid.
Speaker 2: I would be happy just to see the Rock because
Speaker 2: I like the Rock and I like his character and
Speaker 2: I like him.
Speaker 1: But the consistency, if we're talking about like a TV
Speaker 1: show with storylines, no, that.
Speaker 2: Would make it'd be like, oh, that was a different Rock,
Speaker 2: that was my twin brother. He was evil.
Speaker 3: Whoops, Like it wasn't the rock, it was the boulders,
Speaker 3: a different rock, just a little bit.
Speaker 1: Rug me that night someone drugged me. I fell at
Speaker 1: little bits of paper in my drink. It must have
Speaker 1: been Cody. It was an acid like something, because.
Speaker 3: I mean, who knows. I I mean, we might end
Speaker 3: up even getting a bloodline reunion. They might just reunite
Speaker 3: out of the fact that, you know, just behind the
Speaker 3: fact that the family was disrespected, like they all have.
Speaker 3: Sammy is very thrown off at the moment. And if
Speaker 3: I'm kind of hoping that it was seeing Me that
Speaker 3: attacked Jay at the on SmackDown because he was hoping
Speaker 3: he would have gotten in the elimination chamber. But I
Speaker 3: don't think they're going to go that direction at all.
Speaker 3: I mean, with the way j has been like incredibly
Speaker 3: aggressive and and like and like edgy as of late,
Speaker 3: I feel like we would end up getting that same
Speaker 3: version of Jay that appeared when Sammy put the chair
Speaker 3: in Roman's back after what show was, it was like,
Speaker 3: we might get that same version again. I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's my favorite version of j Jay is he's like
Speaker 2: does the gift, He's.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, very stressed, that's my favorite.
Speaker 1: And then they were like one day they're like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: these people in France love this yeating thing. We have
Speaker 1: to continue it no matter what, like force will pay
Speaker 1: people to do it. And then it became one of
Speaker 1: the coolest things I brought my kid. You know, my
Speaker 1: son six years old. You know, he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to watch it. He doesn't want to
Speaker 1: hear people talk, Hey, is jay Usa gonna be here
Speaker 1: so I can do this? Yes, I think he is
Speaker 1: gonna be here, and I think you can do that.
Speaker 1: So the internet might hate it, but my six year
Speaker 1: old son absolutely loves it.
Speaker 3: So there's definitely experience. But I do agree with you
Speaker 3: on the version of jay Us. So I do fancy
Speaker 3: the right hand man version of him, the one that
Speaker 3: had a bit of a bit more edge to him.
Speaker 3: And I do feel like we're starting to see that
Speaker 3: version of him again, and that's just because the family
Speaker 3: was disrespected by Punk the last two weeks. He's just
Speaker 3: been hollering. He's just been hollering, and maybe the whole
Speaker 3: situation with the vision will play out. We don't even
Speaker 3: know whether or not. You know, they have that match
Speaker 3: happening on Well, they have a contenders match happening.
Speaker 2: It's just a match.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's most likely it's gonna be one of those
Speaker 1: matches where it's like, oh, you won, you beat me,
Speaker 1: so that means you get to fight us again. But
Speaker 1: now the titles are on the line.
Speaker 3: Which I didn't really understand why that was the case,
Speaker 3: because right before then, the Vision pinned the usso's, they
Speaker 3: pinned Jim it was Bronze and Reeds, So technically the
Speaker 3: Vision already had a tag team opportunity and that was
Speaker 3: right before elimination chamber. Like, maybe, are you.
Speaker 2: Bringing logic into an illogical situation here?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I can't help it. It's just who I am.
Speaker 2: It's like someone was pinned on this date at that
Speaker 2: time in this town.
Speaker 1: But they don't work there anymore because it hurt, so
Speaker 1: technically that wind still counts.
Speaker 2: And so I believe in the court of law. I
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 1: No, honestly, I do love it because that that that's
Speaker 1: they they Sometimes I understand it's a TV show and
Speaker 1: like they're all like stunt men and stunt women, that's
Speaker 1: what really they are here. But like, please, if we're
Speaker 1: watching week by week and every show and reading up
Speaker 1: on things and all this shit. You would think they
Speaker 1: would know their audience like any other show, may a
Speaker 1: medical drama or a cop show. They don't randomly in
Speaker 1: a one episode go all right, I know Jim and
Speaker 1: Sarah were dating, but this week they're not going to.
Speaker 2: Be dating anymore. Are they gonna break up? Sir?
Speaker 1: Nope, Nope, They're just not gonna be involved anymore. We're
Speaker 1: just gonna pretend it never happened. And you're like, but don't,
Speaker 1: won't the audience not like that? Yep, We'll tell what
Speaker 1: the audience wants, what we know.
Speaker 3: Just in case they start to question it, we'll throw
Speaker 3: in a musical episode.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean now we're cooking, but.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, imagine Monday Night Raw or WWE goes,
Speaker 3: you know, goes Broadway one time and they're all just
Speaker 3: backstage singing and popping up, and I mean, we could
Speaker 3: have got that what pretty deadly the musical that that
Speaker 3: definitely could have been a thing.
Speaker 1: So you know, we'll probably get that, but maybe someday
Speaker 1: we will. But yeah, maybe someday. But thank you so
Speaker 1: much for coming on and talking about the bills of Rustmania.
Speaker 2: So far.
Speaker 1: We are so many weeks out, so there's plenty more
Speaker 1: to talk about, so we'll have to get together again
Speaker 1: and keep breaking down. And you take me, calm me
Speaker 1: down with your logic, because sometimes I just get angry
Speaker 1: and other times I'm super happy about it. But it's
Speaker 1: probably called being bipolar. But either way, thanks for being here, Steve.
Speaker 1: She's I actually have a wonderful day and we'll see
Speaker 1: you next time.
Speaker 2: Bye bye,
