Speaker 1: The views expressed in the following program are those of
Speaker 1: the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of
Speaker 1: Saga nine sixty Am or its management.
Speaker 2: It's a Wednesday, and you know what that means.
Speaker 3: Ringside Heat is on the air in news SOK Saga
Speaker 3: nine sixty am, and we are days away from WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Lex Tan.
Speaker 3: Host, the producer of the show, and you can follow
Speaker 3: me at xtan Media. You can follow the show at
Speaker 3: Ringside Heat on social media, and of course, as always
Speaker 3: joined with me. But Walking Wounded today is our wrestling
Speaker 3: memorabilia collector and TNA Impact Wrestling Expert and yeah, TNA
Speaker 3: and Impact Wrestling because that's what it used to be
Speaker 3: called before wrestling experts. Chico nu get At Cocoa collects,
Speaker 3: so we can follow him.
Speaker 2: And how many days do we have left before wrest.
Speaker 4: We have as of broadcast time, we have three days
Speaker 4: left till WrestleMania Saturday.
Speaker 3: WrestleMania Saturday, that is correct, three days. My gosh, it's
Speaker 3: I don't know from I don't know what it is, Chico,
Speaker 3: But for some reason, I feel like this WrestleMania season
Speaker 3: has actually gone a little bit slower than other WrestleMania
Speaker 3: seasons I've experienced in the recent past.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, slow is one word for it. Another word is, oh,
Speaker 4: hold on, what's this? Who's contacting me mysteriously on my
Speaker 4: phone on the side here? Uh hmm, yeah, no, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 4: So that phone call storyline with Randy Orton was it
Speaker 4: turned out to be a left turn that nobody anticipated
Speaker 4: and some would say pointless.
Speaker 2: It's being ripped apart everywhere online. I'm sure it is. Yet, Yeah,
Speaker 2: this road is and bumpy, to say the least.
Speaker 3: Mmm, it's and it's like it's it's it is a
Speaker 3: frustrating thing in that sort of sense because it's like
Speaker 3: this storyline with Randy Yorton and Cody Rhodes could have
Speaker 3: been just just just just great.
Speaker 2: It could have been it could have been great.
Speaker 3: It could have been something that you know, could stand
Speaker 3: at test of time if they had just stuck to
Speaker 3: the idea of you know, this is the legacy, this
Speaker 3: is who they could the history between them as opposed
Speaker 3: to you know, uh again.
Speaker 2: One more time, and I'll say this because I love
Speaker 2: saying this on the area it.
Speaker 3: Was me.
Speaker 4: Yikes, So I mean they could have kept it simpler.
Speaker 4: I think is the be all and all of that
Speaker 4: that issue with the main event of Night one, mm hmm,
Speaker 4: I think they could have just yeah, focused on Orton
Speaker 4: and Rhodes and how you know, they even kind of
Speaker 4: strayed far from the whole there is more than one
Speaker 4: Royal Family pro Wrestling or whatever, because Randy did taunt
Speaker 4: Cody with that and then they did like a weird
Speaker 4: left turn and brought in Pat McAfee. I mean, I
Speaker 4: know Ari Emmanuel is his agent and also the CEO
Speaker 4: of TKO, but yeah, ah ma, like it's just okay.
Speaker 4: Like I've said, we discussed this at length last week
Speaker 4: at Nauseum. Even there have been some good promos that
Speaker 4: have resulted from it. But I mean I say that,
Speaker 4: and still if you kind of take a bigger picture
Speaker 4: look at it, it still doesn't really make much sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's it's tough because it's I think we've
Speaker 5: been spoiled, honestly on one end. Yes, the writing in
Speaker 5: this and the creative in this could be so much
Speaker 5: better because it could be simple.
Speaker 3: And now that's something that we'll get into a little
Speaker 3: bit later. CM Punk and Roman reigns because that's simple
Speaker 3: and has been working.
Speaker 2: For quite a bit.
Speaker 3: But but there's some issues as well too with that.
Speaker 3: But it's like it's it's like, yeah, it's there's I
Speaker 3: think on one end, we've been so spoiled over the
Speaker 3: last four years or from or at least from twenty
Speaker 3: twenty all the way up to twenty twenty four to
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, that the Bloodline story again is has
Speaker 3: been the best story that has ever come out of
Speaker 3: professional wrestling. And I agree with that, and it's not
Speaker 3: even close. I mean, like, you know, you have your
Speaker 3: simple stories. As I keep mentioning, I love going back
Speaker 3: to it because it is still one of my favorite
Speaker 3: FEUs ever, still called Steve Austin's versus the Rock WrestleMania
Speaker 3: X seven. You have the WWF Championship and I want it.
Speaker 3: That's it, that's all, that's all it is. And but
Speaker 3: then when you have but then when you can play
Speaker 3: a pair of that to the way that they've worked
Speaker 3: in the Bloodline and then thanks to the pandemic and
Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff to work weave in things
Speaker 3: that you wouldn't have necessarily weaved into you in a
Speaker 3: regular wrestling storyline if you had like fans in the
Speaker 3: crowd and you didn't and you had to rely on
Speaker 3: things happening live in front of the crowd. Uh, there's
Speaker 3: a lot of things that couldn't happen in that sort
Speaker 3: of sense. But the continuity, the character development, when the
Speaker 3: crowd was able to come back, you had, you know,
Speaker 3: you had the ability to play with the crowd and
Speaker 3: to improv with the crowd. Uh and and and uh,
Speaker 3: you know, you you'd have you know, main event, jay
Speaker 3: Uso trying to keep a straight face and then Roman
Speaker 3: Reign's coming right out and say, hey, buddy, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna make you.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna test, I'm gonna test you even more.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna see if and see if you go crack.
Speaker 3: And you know, you had great moments like that. And
Speaker 3: then when the actual storyline, scripted moments actually did happen, and.
Speaker 2: It was, it hit differently and it hit so much better.
Speaker 3: And and so I think in that sort of sense,
Speaker 3: they were they they tried to put more complexity and
Speaker 3: more and more nuanced to a story that didn't need that.
Speaker 4: You went in so many directions just now that I
Speaker 4: don't even know how we're gonna get back to WrestleMania
Speaker 4: forty two.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Well that's that's what I tried to say, is that
Speaker 3: like the wrestling, that storyline, that a storyline between Randy Orton,
Speaker 3: as you said, could have been beeen Randy Orton and
Speaker 3: all that basically simpler.
Speaker 4: Basically your point is much like the build for this
Speaker 4: Orton and uh Roads thing.
Speaker 3: Just keep it simple, yeah, exactly exactly. Look look what
Speaker 3: I just did. I went and went through a whole
Speaker 3: different muddled things exactly, and all it all needed was
Speaker 3: a simple thing that you just said in the in
Speaker 3: the beginning of that before I made that rant.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 4: See everybody, listeners, everyone, see what happens when you overcomplicate things,
Speaker 4: you put too many words in there.
Speaker 2: You know, it just becomes too much and you lose
Speaker 2: the essence of the point.
Speaker 4: Also, all of that bloodline stuff, I mean it kind
Speaker 4: of added on the debut of Raw on Netflix, Wink
Speaker 4: Wagnarde Mudge, Nobody's Falter or anything like that.
Speaker 3: So for those of you who for those of you
Speaker 3: who do not have the benefit of flash photography or video,
Speaker 3: because I haven't put this on YouTube, the Chico is
Speaker 3: currently showing off his WrestleMania Sunday from WrestleMania forty Rock
Speaker 3: action figure with the Mama Roads belt and the exact
Speaker 3: attire that The Rock War or at least the or
Speaker 3: at least the attire that The Rock War in micro form,
Speaker 3: plus John Cena in his WrestleMania forty Sunday at Tire
Speaker 3: as well before he got rock bottom by the Final Boss.
Speaker 4: Yes, and so it brings us to this year. Speaking
Speaker 4: of he who cannot be seen, he will be back
Speaker 4: already so soon as the host of WrestleMania, John Cena.
Speaker 3: Is well, I mean, hey, you know, as I said,
Speaker 3: as this, as this episode is entitled, I'm sure it'll
Speaker 3: all work out at WrestleMania. And John Cena has an
Speaker 3: uncanny way of making things work out even when even
Speaker 3: when a lot of things seem to.
Speaker 2: Work against his favor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean we could run down the card
Speaker 4: for WrestleMania Saturday and Sunday. This is, after all, our
Speaker 4: go home show for WrestleMania, which may have a better
Speaker 4: time at this than I did at Monday Night Raw.
Speaker 2: Uh huh yeah, yeah, yeah, Monday Night Raw.
Speaker 3: I mean well, I mean WrestleMania Saturday includes in terms
Speaker 3: of the seven matches that have been announced so far.
Speaker 3: Uh and thank god it's only gonna be seven matches
Speaker 3: at least, or at least if they keep the match
Speaker 3: limit before the match numbers under ten. I'm okay with
Speaker 3: that because you know, ae W. They had their own
Speaker 3: thing on Sunday night, just this past Sunday night, aw
Speaker 3: Dynasty from Vancouver's Rogers Arena, the former GM Place, the
Speaker 3: site of the Sidney Crosby gold Golden Goal back in
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 2: And either way we have that. We could talk about
Speaker 2: that a little bit later.
Speaker 3: But WrestleMania Saturday, it's the vision logan Paul and Austin
Speaker 3: theory and I show speed with Paul him in ringside
Speaker 3: versus main event, Jay Lusso, Big Jim Jimmy u So
Speaker 3: n l A night Yeah, and a six man tag match,
Speaker 3: just a grudge match and everything. And by the way,
Speaker 3: for those of you who want to for those of
Speaker 3: you who may want to see on my social media,
Speaker 3: I will be costplaying manil.
Speaker 2: A night as well too.
Speaker 3: So I've got I've got the glasses, I've got the vest,
Speaker 3: I've got the yellow shirt shoes of a champion as well.
Speaker 3: Jacob Potzu versus Drew McIntyre and an unsanctioned match. Stephanie
Speaker 3: Vaquier putting up the Women's World Championship against Liv Morgan
Speaker 3: by the way that I call don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: good on Liv for putting that music video together and
Speaker 3: this and and she's got dancing skills and everything, and
Speaker 3: she's got you know, uh and and and she does
Speaker 3: have a presence on the on camera that's undeniable. At
Speaker 3: the same time, it feels I listened to that song
Speaker 3: and it's felt like it felt like Britney spears toxic from.
Speaker 4: I guess so, I mean, the rumor is that's going
Speaker 4: to be her new theme song moving forward.
Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about that, but sure,
Speaker 3: I guess I know how I feel about that.
Speaker 2: And A J.
Speaker 3: Lee is putting up the championship, the Continental Championship on
Speaker 3: the line. A gets Becky Lynn Uh, the Irresistible Forces,
Speaker 3: Naya Jackson, Lash Legend Uh put up there WWE Women's
Speaker 3: Tag Team Championship versus Uh The Best Friend of Me,
Speaker 3: Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, Uh Bailey and Lyra Valkyria,
Speaker 3: as well as the Bella Twins breed Bella and Nikki Bella.
Speaker 2: Uh. I think this is this the first time they'll
Speaker 2: be wrestling together? Uh?
Speaker 3: In that like first of for sure WrestleMania. But is
Speaker 3: this the first time they're wrestling together in WWE in years?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: But they may have already had a tag team match
Speaker 4: or two on Raw SmackDown since they returned.
Speaker 3: Mm. But but honestly, as much as they didn't care
Speaker 3: about the Bellet Twins back in the day, I'm actually
Speaker 3: just for the nostalgia factor and just for the fact that, like,
Speaker 3: my god, the Bellot twins are in there again.
Speaker 2: Oh they look good man. Although they do.
Speaker 3: And they they do and everything and and and and
Speaker 3: I think I said this before that Nicky seems to have, like,
Speaker 3: you know, really committed herself to stepping up her game.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh, the speaking of Nikki there, I'm not sure if
Speaker 4: I'm hearing this correctly or recalling this correctly. And there
Speaker 4: may be possibility that Nicky won't be cleared in time
Speaker 4: for Mania, in which case they may end up replacing
Speaker 4: the Bella Twins with the Kabooki Warriors. That that would
Speaker 4: not be I mean, they would fit in just fine.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean that's I mean Kobookie Warriors. I
Speaker 4: mean they's fun to watch and everything, and uh uh
Speaker 4: and and and and and uh yeah, they're all equals
Speaker 4: in the ring, all all these women as well too.
Speaker 3: So it's just the sure, it's just it'll be a
Speaker 3: good match. Nonetheless, I don't know how long they're gonna
Speaker 3: have as in the match, but sure it's gonna be.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure they'll make the best of the time
Speaker 3: that they're going to be. You know that they're gonna
Speaker 3: be given. But and that's and the reason why is
Speaker 3: because you've got Seth Rowland, Seth Rowans, set Rowland, Roward, Rowans,
Speaker 3: Rollins versus Gunter, uh, just the grudge match themselves. And
Speaker 3: then of course, the main event of Cody Road is
Speaker 3: putting up the undisputed w W Championship versus Randy York
Speaker 3: with Pat McAfee at his side, and possibly and of course,
Speaker 3: you know it hasn't been announced yet, but Jelly Roll
Speaker 3: will probably be making his way in there. But the
Speaker 3: stipulation is if Orton loses, McAfee will leave professional wrestling
Speaker 3: for good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which means Randy's totally winning his fifteenth World championship
Speaker 4: We're not getting rid of PAD anytime soon. Look, I
Speaker 4: don't have a problem with Pat McAfee, the person I own.
Speaker 4: I don't even have a problem with a creative team
Speaker 4: or Triple H. I think this is TKO missing around
Speaker 4: with stuff m I don't think it's any of the
Speaker 4: usual people that would would get the blame for it.
Speaker 4: I don't even blame PAD, to be honest with you.
Speaker 4: Money's money, business is business. I ultimately think this is
Speaker 4: corporate getting in the way of artists.
Speaker 3: That that would make sense, that would that that that
Speaker 3: that would make sense, and it's and it's also I mean,
Speaker 3: it is a it is something that I would say
Speaker 3: that even Vince McMahon was guilty of during his time
Speaker 3: running the WWE, because he became more as he became
Speaker 3: more corporate and and of course he was the head
Speaker 3: of everything. So but I think that I think in
Speaker 3: some some different fashion that also did happen back of
Speaker 3: the WWF. But it's more pronounced now because it is
Speaker 3: no longer owned by the McMahon family.
Speaker 2: It's owned by a corporation.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, like the headline for this episode says,
Speaker 4: I'm sure it'll all work out.
Speaker 2: I think even that that match is going to be fine.
Speaker 4: I think this is one of those WrestleManias and we're
Speaker 4: not quite done running everything down yet, but I think
Speaker 4: this is one of those manias that actually has a
Speaker 4: pretty good card if you look at both Knights. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I think the the lackluster thing has been the build.
Speaker 4: But I think on the two nights, I think I
Speaker 4: think both Knights are going to be actually really good.
Speaker 4: It's just for lack of a build this time. I
Speaker 4: guess this is hopefully it's going to be one of
Speaker 4: those that's a sleeper hit kind of thing, because I
Speaker 4: don't know how many people are expecting this to be
Speaker 4: any good. But at the same time, with the bar
Speaker 4: set kind of low from last year's WrestleMania, this one
Speaker 4: might surprise everybody with how good it is.
Speaker 3: Right right, right, And I mean it's also unfair to
Speaker 3: Roasto's WrestleMania for the bar to be.
Speaker 6: Set as low as it was, just because of the
Speaker 6: fact that, you know, WrestleMania forty was it was as
Speaker 6: close to perfect of a WrestleMania as you could get.
Speaker 3: Without being WrestleMania X seven. Yes go on, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3: Ringside heat a news stok Saga nine sixty am. We're
Speaker 3: continuing to run down the card here for WrestleMania forty two,
Speaker 3: but one thing before I get it, before we get
Speaker 3: into ww RAW last Monday night, as well as on
Speaker 3: as well as SmackDown, or or at least I'd like
Speaker 3: to just one last thing about smack Down. When I
Speaker 3: was when I was watching it over and look at
Speaker 3: the highlights again, I still and like you know, people
Speaker 3: have said it was lackluster, but I think there was
Speaker 3: one high point in the in the show, dan Housen
Speaker 3: having won his first match in WPE.
Speaker 4: I really dug it, man, I've been digging all his stuff. Look,
Speaker 4: I said right from the very beginning, and you probably
Speaker 4: look back on the show's episodes too, from the start.
Speaker 4: I just think the only thing wrong with the debut
Speaker 4: of Dan Housen was the way they overhyped the box.
Speaker 4: That's it, because I mean sure Chicago went crazy boom
Speaker 4: that night at Chamber, but since then, to be honest
Speaker 4: with you, it's all hit for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they you that's the thing I gain.
Speaker 3: And again you've said it before, and we've said it
Speaker 3: many times, and we've said it in the past when
Speaker 3: Dan Housen was still in aew if there's anyone company
Speaker 3: that knows what to do with it Dan House, and
Speaker 3: it would be w W.
Speaker 4: E YEA so far, so good man. Yeah, it's good
Speaker 4: that all the crossover stuff. You know, he's on different
Speaker 4: people's socials that you never would have thought, well, he'd
Speaker 4: be on you know, like he you know, there's so
Speaker 4: much like and then they're even building lore with all
Speaker 4: the social media posts that you could kind of weave
Speaker 4: into the SmackDown and raw appearances mmmmmm.
Speaker 3: And so you know, hopefully hopefully we'll get a little
Speaker 3: bit more Dan House in as well at WrestleMania. Maybe
Speaker 3: he's got maybe he's got some surprise curses up the
Speaker 3: sleeve or you know, uh, the the for a certain
Speaker 3: you know, one of uh sort a certain guy who
Speaker 3: is a more of a you know, a c lister,
Speaker 3: but you know, considers himself an a lister.
Speaker 2: Kay Wilson, that's his feud right now, who are you
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 3: No, miss, you have more cursals. He may have more
Speaker 3: curses for me. Is up to sleep for WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: Just see too many words? Keep it Tipple. You totally
Speaker 2: steered me off. Course I will say this.
Speaker 4: You know, my one wish for Dan Housen at WrestleMania
Speaker 4: since it's in Las Vegas, I think, right, okay, yes,
Speaker 4: oh you don't remember, Okay, all right, the the the
Speaker 4: Dan Housen showgirls. Okay, well that's tangentially related. But somebody
Speaker 4: runs a let's call it a Gentleman's club in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4: Who is a popular gimmick that has something to do
Speaker 4: with Vegas ladies of the night. Let's say, uh huh yeah,
Speaker 4: at least in some form of one of his gimmicks.
Speaker 4: All right, So Charles Wright, yes, the the man behind
Speaker 4: such gimmicks as Kamma Mustafa, the Godfather, the good Father.
Speaker 4: I want him to make an appearance either as the
Speaker 4: Godfather with Dan Housen, like having an interaction with him,
Speaker 4: or let's just straight up bringing Papa Shango.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 4: They're in Vegas and that is where Charles Wright like
Speaker 4: conducts his business and pretty much like emanates from most
Speaker 4: of the time. So let's have either Papa Shangle or
Speaker 4: the Godfather interact with Dan Housen. I am sold m
Speaker 4: that would honestly, that would be an amazing thing and
Speaker 4: then uh ye, and hey, you know the Godfather, The
Speaker 4: Godfather could come out with the hole train and Dan
Speaker 4: Housden can come out as well.
Speaker 2: Too with the with the with with with with the
Speaker 2: girl Housings. Yeah yeah, with the gul Houses. Yes, the
Speaker 2: gul Housends.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, so yeah, I mean and yeah that
Speaker 3: and and and that would be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Guess as well to you who will be in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: Not not on the w w E card, but uh
Speaker 3: uh it is a professional wrestling stable here in the
Speaker 3: Ontario independent promotions. Uh. And they're and they're consistent of
Speaker 3: four Filipinos actually a four Filipino stable, uh, a Filipino
Speaker 3: Canadian stable or you know they live here. But uh yeah,
Speaker 3: they're called monopol which which is uh uh which is
Speaker 3: the sign of respect, uh to your elders in the
Speaker 3: Philippine Filipino culture. And they and and they are going
Speaker 3: to be wrestling in Las Vegas for one of the
Speaker 3: independent promotions there. Uh and it comprised the four members. Uh,
Speaker 3: I've met all of them and they're awesome. Uh, Taylor
Speaker 3: Daquila take it easy, Joey and my favorite of a bunch, Kingsley.
Speaker 4: Yes, that would be so cool if they uh, you know,
Speaker 4: had some interactions and some indie people. I guess, uh
Speaker 4: what what are they wrestling.
Speaker 2: On on on this week?
Speaker 3: Uh, they're well, they're they're wrestling in one of the independents.
Speaker 2: Like you don't know specifically, not not not.
Speaker 3: Specifically that I don't I don't know exactly specific specifically,
Speaker 3: but I did see a Kingsley sighting over at a
Speaker 3: e W dynasty. Uh yeah, getting a getting a little
Speaker 3: getting some love with Andraded.
Speaker 4: That guy needs to calm lef down. My gosh, he
Speaker 4: was excited right through them tights. Oh geez, on that note,
Speaker 4: let's go to a soldier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do on that note.
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to take a break after that one,
Speaker 3: and uh we'll get more into nightetwo of WrestleMania, SAT
Speaker 3: wrestlinga Sunday and also ww raw AW Dynasty as well,
Speaker 3: because it happened here in our lovely countries to Canada,
Speaker 3: and we'll be back after these promotion considerations.
Speaker 4: Wait, this is the real and you're wrestling to ringsideyastreamers.
Speaker 2: Live at SAGA nine sixty am dot C.
Speaker 7: A Yo, bro, it is Vince Russo man and you
Speaker 7: are listening to ring Sidi Bro News Talk Saga nine
Speaker 7: sixty am.
Speaker 3: And welcome back to Ringside Heat on News Talk Saga
Speaker 3: nine sixty am. Lex Hand at lextand Media Ringside Heat
Speaker 3: at Ringside Underscore Heat. Chico Nugad at Cocoa Collects is
Speaker 3: where you can follow him and his wrestling memorabilia and
Speaker 3: other things like superheroes and stuff like that, and transformers
Speaker 3: and a whole bunch of things that you can that
Speaker 3: that you can follow and see the kind of stuff
Speaker 3: that he's been collecting over the years. But before we
Speaker 3: went to break, we did mention that we saw our
Speaker 3: friend of the show, Kingsley over at AW Dynasty in Vancouver,
Speaker 3: British Columbia. So you know, a contrary to wwees version
Speaker 3: of putting thirteen matches over two nights, AW put thirteen
Speaker 3: matches over one full night.
Speaker 2: Come On, Go Home.
Speaker 3: Dynasty was held at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Speaker 3: Some of you may remember that of a certain some
Speaker 3: of you of a certain vintage may remember that as
Speaker 3: GM Place, and some of you have a certain vintage
Speaker 3: as well. To me, remember that as Canada Hockey Place
Speaker 3: where Sidney Crosby scored his golden goal to win the
Speaker 3: gold medal for the twenty ten Vancouver Olympic Games.
Speaker 2: Same arena and everything.
Speaker 3: And that this was the first pay per view from
Speaker 3: ALI Wrestling in Western Canada. And so there were thirteen
Speaker 3: matches on the car Goodness Gracious, and so three matches
Speaker 3: on the on the pre show, Alex Winsor defeating Marina Shaffir,
Speaker 3: Camille defeating Big Ann, and Jack Perry defeating Mark Davis
Speaker 3: for the A E W Nashal Championship.
Speaker 2: Jack Perry retains oh fourth.
Speaker 3: Actually there was a fourth pre show match, Divine Dominion
Speaker 3: Meghan Bain and Lena cross As retaining the AW Women's
Speaker 3: Tag Team Championships for against Hyen and Maya World. And
Speaker 3: then we get in the main card Matthew and Nicholas
Speaker 3: Jackson the Young Bucks defeating the don Kallis family of
Speaker 3: Kazuska Okata and Conosque Takeshta with Don Kallis by his
Speaker 3: by ringside twenty minute match for that one to start off,
Speaker 3: Rick Achet with Bishop Kahan and Tota Leona defeating Jericho
Speaker 3: by pinfall fourteen minutes and ten seconds, Darby Allen defeating
Speaker 3: Andrede l Idolo by pinfall. Since Allen won, he will
Speaker 3: receive an AW World Championship match scheduled for a Dynamite
Speaker 3: spring break on April fifteen, twenty twenty six. And you
Speaker 3: know tonight, that's right, April fifteen, nets right, that is
Speaker 3: tonight die M spring breakthrough. So tune into that on
Speaker 3: your local UH station wherever you want.
Speaker 2: Not delaying that at all, no or not not at all?
Speaker 3: Uh and uh well, as Chico mentioned as well during
Speaker 3: the break, uh, you know, I think on Braday was
Speaker 3: the was the real win of that match, getting you know,
Speaker 3: getting getting a chance to you, uh, getting a chance
Speaker 3: to you uh rub elbows with Kingsley. So I so
Speaker 3: I think I think Andrada won that one. Uh, but uh,
Speaker 3: you know, as you said, as you said, he also
Speaker 3: had a little bit of a iron chic moment one
Speaker 3: time over there too.
Speaker 2: So yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, F T R, Dax Hollwood and Cash Wheeler UH
Speaker 3: defeat Cope and Cage a W World Tag Team Championship match.
Speaker 2: I was actually hoping that uh A.
Speaker 3: N C would actually win that or ean C rather
Speaker 3: uh as I as I actually know them, UH would
Speaker 3: have won that one.
Speaker 2: Honestly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little puzzling to me that the entire
Speaker 4: Canadian contingent pretty much all lost. I think, other than maybe,
Speaker 4: I don't know if Kyle O'Reilly in his match one
Speaker 4: won the trio's titles. I think they may have.
Speaker 3: Well, let's get yes, yep, Kyl O'Riley did win the
Speaker 3: trios match. That was a ten It was a quick
Speaker 3: ten minute match, Orange Cassidy Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly
Speaker 3: the Conglomeration defeating the Dogs David Finley, Clark Connors and
Speaker 3: Gabe Kid.
Speaker 2: We also ga Gabe Kid get well soon. I hear
Speaker 2: there's an injury involved.
Speaker 3: Oh goodness, gracious again, I mean it is a unfortunately,
Speaker 3: it is just a fact of life when it comes
Speaker 3: to wrestling. But still it's unfortunate when that happens. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: Kevin Knight won by Yeah, Yeah, yeah, Kevin Knight, yeah
Speaker 3: one by Benning Daniel Garcina. In the ten man Casino
Speaker 3: Gutlet match for the vacant AE WT and T Championship,
Speaker 3: Tecla defeated Jamie Hayter. I didn't like that. I would
Speaker 3: have loved to see Jamie Hater win that one instead. Uh, honestly, just.
Speaker 2: Solja wasn't gonna happen, I know.
Speaker 3: But still, John Moxley defeated will osprey Uh by pinfall
Speaker 3: for the AW Continental Championship, and then in the main
Speaker 3: event of the evening, it was MJF getting the pinfall
Speaker 3: against Winnipeg's Kenny Omega to retain the AW World Championship.
Speaker 3: So guess that's what Kenny Omega's got to do. Now,
Speaker 3: let's just put over the talent.
Speaker 4: How did you like MJF doing a jumping tombstone onto
Speaker 4: the table outside to get Kenny Omega.
Speaker 8: Oh, I'm so, I'm I'm all, I'm I'm always always,
Speaker 8: always so conflicted, especially when it's not somebody who's seven
Speaker 8: feet tall doing a tombstone or a pile driver and
Speaker 8: then doing it unto the outside onto the table.
Speaker 3: Now, granted, I think that there might be a little
Speaker 3: there might have been a little bit more of a safety.
Speaker 3: It might have been slightly safer in one in some
Speaker 3: ways because you're off the ground. It's actually m jf
Speaker 3: s knees that are are likely the ones that will.
Speaker 2: Break the table.
Speaker 3: At the same time, but at the same time, it's
Speaker 3: like I just don't like tombstones. So unless it's Kane
Speaker 3: and the Undertaker or or as you know, Kine was
Speaker 3: as as the Undertaker was known as one originally Kane
Speaker 3: the Undertaker. But but but I just don't like I
Speaker 3: don't like pile drivers. I hate watching pile drivers. Well,
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to keep watching them because they're a
Speaker 3: big part of pro wrestling.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know. It just doesn't have
Speaker 2: to I just don't have to like them. Uh.
Speaker 3: And and the last GCW show that I called Kingsley
Speaker 3: actually took four pile drivers.
Speaker 4: I remember I watched that. That was brutal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm just and and like, yeah, I'm just like, well,
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving gonna be if she if she's still feeling that
Speaker 3: injury of Thanksgiving, it's gonna be real awkward next the
Speaker 3: couple come October.
Speaker 2: But anyway, but.
Speaker 3: That was aw Dynasty at Rogers Arena. Paid attendance for
Speaker 3: the night was a whopping nine and thirty six, which
Speaker 3: is pretty good for aw these days.
Speaker 2: Honestly, no comment.
Speaker 3: I mean, but then again, when you compare the fact
Speaker 3: that you know, and here's the thing, it's like, we
Speaker 3: know Arena's hockey and basketball arenas like Skotia Bank Arena
Speaker 3: can hold up to eighteen thousand up to twenty thousand
Speaker 3: on if you make enough room. But at the same time,
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, ww raw was only was attended
Speaker 3: here on in Toronto, only eleven thousand people were in
Speaker 3: the arena because they blocked off a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: stuff because of the set and everything. And I get it,
Speaker 3: I get it. You want to make the set look
Speaker 3: good and everything. And at the same time, it's like,
Speaker 3: at the same time, I do miss like the simpler
Speaker 3: sets and like, you know, have the eighteen thousand people
Speaker 3: in arena for these wrestling shows too, So.
Speaker 2: Then again like then again seven thousand people.
Speaker 3: When you have that many numbers whatever like that in between,
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, it's just a blur at this point.
Speaker 4: So so there's one thing I think AW can do
Speaker 4: to make a big enough splash where they remain. In
Speaker 4: the conversation of Pro Wrestling for the weekend on Dynamite,
Speaker 4: you said, who's getting a title shot?
Speaker 3: Who was getting a title shot at AW Dynamite. That
Speaker 3: would be Darby Allen at Dynamite Spring Breakthrough. If they
Speaker 3: have Darby Allen, go over on MJF. That's a headline. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that would be. That actually would be I mean, you
Speaker 3: would grab some attention at least it would because it's
Speaker 3: especially because you know, as you said last week, TK
Speaker 3: hasn't exactly been been very liberal at pulling the trigger
Speaker 3: for Darby Allen.
Speaker 4: So yeah, no, and and with the general blazz going
Speaker 4: about WrestleMania and WWE a little bit this week, especially
Speaker 4: with the sorry, in my opinion, lackluster go home show
Speaker 4: on Monday Night, Raw, I mean it's on a w
Speaker 4: to capitalize a little bit.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Yeah, well I mean that, I mean, they
Speaker 3: do have their chance tonight. They've had multiple chances, and
Speaker 3: let's see what they do tonight.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. But let's go over to WW RAW.
Speaker 3: Now we do have up that we still have some
Speaker 3: time in this segment over here, so let's go with
Speaker 3: RAW before we go a bit, before we take a
Speaker 3: break and go into WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: What was it specifically that just made that that that that.
Speaker 3: That just made RAW for you just blase a and
Speaker 3: like kind of meh.
Speaker 4: I don't know, it just didn't feel like super hype
Speaker 4: WrestleMania time. I mean, I don't know there was just
Speaker 4: it was just lacking. I think the punk and rains thing,
Speaker 4: especially kind of punctuated at the end of the night
Speaker 4: with not with a bang, but with a whimper.
Speaker 2: I think that they're exchange. I mean, to be fair,
Speaker 2: they've had a lot of heat the past.
Speaker 4: Few weeks, but part of it's felt a little like
Speaker 4: repetitive maybe, and then this one was just boring.
Speaker 7: Hm.
Speaker 4: So I don't know where they're going with this. I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm sure it'll still be fun, but I mean, I'm
Speaker 4: sure the video the media team at at WWE is
Speaker 4: going to make some some kick ass like hype vignettes
Speaker 4: to lead up to each match, So I guess that's
Speaker 4: where I'm going with all of this stuff. I think
Speaker 4: that at WrestleMania, I think I'll just pay attention to
Speaker 4: all the hype videos beforehand each before each match, and
Speaker 4: I'll probably feel okay about everything.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, at the same time, it's like we were talking
Speaker 3: about how we wanted something a little bit more simple
Speaker 3: for Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, and this one see
Speaker 3: them funk and Roman reigns.
Speaker 2: That is as simple as it gets.
Speaker 3: I hate you, You hate me, there's a championship on
Speaker 3: the line, I'm gonna kick your I'm gonna kick your
Speaker 3: teeth in order to take it. That's as simple as
Speaker 3: you can get in professional wrestling. And that's what the
Speaker 3: formula literally has been. Yes, there have been, you know, uh,
Speaker 3: very have have been you know, things that have been
Speaker 3: said that go a little bit deeper than the usual
Speaker 3: wrestling promo might. Uh.
Speaker 2: But that's because we know these characters.
Speaker 3: We know these people, uh, and we know even a
Speaker 3: little bit about their own personal lives to know that uh,
Speaker 3: what they're using and what they're drawing from from real life.
Speaker 3: Could uh you know, could it could be could make
Speaker 3: that splash uh and get the ears and the eyes
Speaker 3: on the product that way, because oh, did you hear
Speaker 3: him say this?
Speaker 2: Did you hear him say that?
Speaker 3: But uh, but but but uh I think that they
Speaker 3: could have I but then, you know, there's a part
Speaker 3: of me that feels like they could have saved some
Speaker 3: of the strongest stuff that they had early on in
Speaker 3: the build.
Speaker 2: They could have saved that for the go home.
Speaker 4: Yep, they could have odd placement of the different parts
Speaker 4: of the of the heat of the feud. So I mean, yeah, again,
Speaker 4: they ended not with a bang, but with a whimper.
Speaker 4: That's that's all I gotta say about that.
Speaker 2: It was not.
Speaker 4: Very thrilling as a go home show. It didn't feel
Speaker 4: like one mm hmm.
Speaker 3: And and you know, hopefully hopefully this coming Friday night
Speaker 3: when they had SmackDown and the Hall of Fame, hopefully
Speaker 3: then there's some something could be salvage from that fat
Speaker 3: Chance man.
Speaker 2: That's already the night before Mania.
Speaker 4: They're in Vegas, they're doing the Andre the Giant Battle Royal,
Speaker 4: so it's already considered part of WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even consider that a go home show. Mmmmmm.
Speaker 2: So it's essentially like the kickoff show.
Speaker 3: Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, I mean, I mean that's
Speaker 3: the formula that they've had over the past few years
Speaker 3: and everything right. And at the same time, i mean,
Speaker 3: looking back to WrestleMania forty, I'm I mean, I mean,
Speaker 3: I mean, it was fun, the wrestling was fun, but
Speaker 3: then we were all there to see Paul Hayman anyway, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, my goodness.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm glad we get to see it on
Speaker 4: YouTube this year for Canadians. The Hall of Fame, I mean,
Speaker 4: but that starts at midnight Eastern man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I mean we we're busy people. We
Speaker 3: got to do stuff in the mornings on time. Well,
Speaker 3: I'm not even feeling that good this week.
Speaker 4: I'm feeling a little ill even recording this, So, I mean,
Speaker 4: WW is not helping their case very much. Like I
Speaker 4: just hope that, honestly, I just hope with all the
Speaker 4: things that people have had to say, I've had good
Speaker 4: and bad things to say about the build to WrestleMania
Speaker 4: along the way. With all of that, I just hope
Speaker 4: it's at minimum better than last year's wrestle Mania.
Speaker 2: Hmmm.
Speaker 4: I think I'll be happy with just about anything that's
Speaker 4: better than last year.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmmmm.
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, I'll say this. Last year's WrestleMania for me,
Speaker 3: wasn't that bad. It was just accentuated by the bye bye,
Speaker 3: by the failure of the Johnson Well, honestly, wasn't the
Speaker 3: failure of John Cena or Cody Road. They did their thing.
Speaker 3: It was the failure of Dwayne not showing up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4: That put a big damper on everything, unfortunately, But that's
Speaker 4: that's how it's perceived.
Speaker 3: Sorry exactly, but you know, what hopefully these six matches
Speaker 3: on on WrestleMania Sunday will be a little bit better
Speaker 3: or well, well we'll make things better along with the
Speaker 3: WrestleMania Saturday matches, which we already talked about. And so
Speaker 3: that's what we're going to review before we you know,
Speaker 3: before we sign off for the weekend and uh and
Speaker 3: take in some WrestleMania as we have been for many
Speaker 3: many years now. And but before that WrestleMania Saturday on
Speaker 3: April to nineteenth, the six matches on the card, we'll
Speaker 3: talk about that after these promotional considerations.
Speaker 9: Hello everyone, this is former Pro Wrestling Slash Sports Entertainment
Speaker 9: referee Jimmy Corderos, and you're listening to the new voice
Speaker 9: of Pro Wrestling Slash Sports Entertainment in the GTA Ringside
Speaker 9: Heat right here on News Talk SAGA ninety sixty AM.
Speaker 1: No Radio, No Problem. Stream is live on SAGA ninety
Speaker 1: sixty AM dot CA.
Speaker 2: Hey guys, I'm Shan Spears and you're listening to Ringside.
Speaker 3: Heat and welcome back to Ringside Heat and new stop
Speaker 3: SAGA nine sixty am. Lex hand at lextand Media at
Speaker 3: Ringside Underscore Heat for the show and then Chico at
Speaker 3: Coca collects he is the walking wounded, not the walking dead,
Speaker 3: but the walking wounded right now as he has got
Speaker 3: a bit of a sniffle, possibly a fever.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, the only cure is more cow bell.
Speaker 3: Ah true, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, or didn't or you know,
Speaker 3: uh uh neo Sitchen Buckley's that indeed. I mean those
Speaker 3: aren't technically speaking, those aren't really cures per se.
Speaker 2: They're more of a they're more of a symptom. Management. Sure,
Speaker 2: sure they'll get through job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and well, I mean yeah, I mean some say
Speaker 3: that's what some are saying.
Speaker 2: That's what Ron SmackDown were this past weekend. Oh my goodness. Symptom.
Speaker 2: That's it. Just that's it. That's all it was. So Wrestleman.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sunday, April nineteenth, Uh, six matches on the card.
Speaker 3: Uh gonna be started off here by Oba Femi and
Speaker 3: brock Lesnar grute match postmatch Oba fem definitely going over.
Speaker 2: Gotta gotta do it.
Speaker 4: And again I do like that this is the match
Speaker 4: that will kick off Night two, which will be for
Speaker 4: Americans on free ESPN. So I mean this is as
Speaker 4: good a chance as any as WW will have this
Speaker 4: weekend to get eyes on the product besides the previous
Speaker 4: night Night one being opened with the match that involves
Speaker 4: Logan Paul, so a lot of new eyes probably gonna
Speaker 4: come into But yeah, Obafemi brock Lesner's that's rightfully the
Speaker 4: one that's going to be kicking off Night too. OVA's
Speaker 4: got to win it. There's nothing else I can see
Speaker 4: that is a favorable result. If I think if Brock
Speaker 4: is as good as he's been at at seeing talent
Speaker 4: that he should be putting over, I think he's gonna
Speaker 4: let Oba Femi get.
Speaker 2: The victory in this one.
Speaker 3: Mm. I mean, and he has been good and he
Speaker 3: also has been and he also has been putting over
Speaker 3: the younger talent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he even did it.
Speaker 4: Let's see who's Who's one of the big men that
Speaker 4: he put over a few years ago ultimately didn't lead
Speaker 4: to anything just because of other circumstances. But he even
Speaker 4: put over people like Keith Lee, you know, you know
Speaker 4: other other people, Drew McIntyre, he did a really good
Speaker 4: job putting him over. All it took was one claymore
Speaker 4: and you know, brocked selling it like a champ. I
Speaker 4: think he's going to be doing the same for Oba.
Speaker 4: I think he's going to do the honors and help
Speaker 4: launch the career of this guy because just the way
Speaker 4: they've been playing it, Oba for the victory to kick
Speaker 4: off night too, for sure, mm hmm.
Speaker 3: And hey, you know what, you know what it's like
Speaker 3: for some fans out there, it might be a little
Speaker 3: bit karma for him beating the Undertaker, but that's not
Speaker 3: his call. That was not his call. I totally don't
Speaker 3: even view it as that. He still didn't need that,
Speaker 3: But no, he's just really good at putting people over.
Speaker 3: He's a good pro and you know, he puts the
Speaker 3: pro and pro wrestling. He knows what he's worth and
Speaker 3: he knows when to give the other person like the
Speaker 3: victory and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Now, mind you.
Speaker 4: I mean, he could have been more merciful to people
Speaker 4: like Kobe Kingston, but I mean that's debatable at this point.
Speaker 4: I just think he's gonna do the right thing here
Speaker 4: and put Oba over.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: It's so as Kenny had as Kenny Smith would have said,
Speaker 3: it's Oba anyway. Next match on the card, the six
Speaker 3: Pack Ladder match for the w W Into Continental Championship.
Speaker 3: It's Penta, who is the champion, putting it up, literally
Speaker 3: putting the title up on the line, Versus Javon Evans, Dragonly,
Speaker 3: JD McDonough, russf Ray Mystereo.
Speaker 2: Oh that's this.
Speaker 3: That that that's just gonna be the fun, flippy floppy
Speaker 3: pie spot monkey match that is always going to that
Speaker 3: there's always going to energize that crowd.
Speaker 4: Hey man, it's a good one two punch to start
Speaker 4: off night too, let me tell you.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. And both of those are on free TV
Speaker 2: mm hmmmmm. Singles. Oh yeah, who do you got for
Speaker 2: that one? Uh, I'm gonna say this was hard to predict.
Speaker 4: I mean, you could give it to Javan. I guess
Speaker 4: the kids love this guy. I mean, your boys bouncy
Speaker 4: and everything.
Speaker 2: But I kind of want Penta to just keep it interesting.
Speaker 2: I don't know, do you have a pick? I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't have a strong I don't have strong feelings
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 3: I mean, if for me, it would either be either
Speaker 3: pent or Javon Evans myself, but then you know, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, they could give it to Raymistereo.
Speaker 2: For a little bit then just let you know, get
Speaker 2: get the crowd all hyped up. That way.
Speaker 3: But I mean, if if I would say, I would say,
Speaker 3: I'd like to see Javon with a short title reign
Speaker 3: and then lose it and then maybe have that belt
Speaker 3: be the ping pong belt.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm down with that.
Speaker 4: I'm not uh, I'm not too heavily invested in any
Speaker 4: one guy in that match, So just give me a
Speaker 4: good match, Okay.
Speaker 3: Women's Championship ww W Women's Championship Jade Cargill versus Rhea Ripley.
Speaker 3: Who retains or who gets it or does does Jade
Speaker 3: retain or does become champion again?
Speaker 4: Now this is kind of interesting to my brain because
Speaker 4: at first I wanted Ria Ripley outright to win against
Speaker 4: Jade Cargill, excuse me, but the addition of her her
Speaker 4: friends turned enemies turned friends again, her her crew of baddies,
Speaker 4: you know, now that she has a little crew.
Speaker 2: Back in her up.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have a problem with Jade retaining if they
Speaker 4: kind of have a little something something going to like
Speaker 4: Summer Slam or something, because I don't really think that
Speaker 4: like Rhea needs it in any way at all, Like
Speaker 4: like she could help Jade Cargills caused by putting her
Speaker 4: over somehow, and Jade having heavies to back her up
Speaker 4: kind of like helps it, not it helps to be
Speaker 4: a little more believable that Jade would beat Rhea because
Speaker 4: it just seems like Ria is kind of a juggernaut.
Speaker 4: But then again, Jade is kind of a heavy hitter
Speaker 4: as well. She's just not that great yet.
Speaker 3: M hm.
Speaker 4: So I think the addition of her her buddies like
Speaker 4: back in her corner, I think it helps her cause.
Speaker 4: So I don't know where I'm at with this one,
Speaker 4: because again I don't see, like, where do you go
Speaker 4: with Ria afterwards?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I feel like they interrupted the tag team momentum she
Speaker 4: had going with EO just to give an opponent to
Speaker 4: Jade that is blockbuster for WrestleMania like viewing. So okay,
Speaker 4: so let me just try to Okay, let's try to
Speaker 4: land the plane. I'm gonna just go with Jade, which
Speaker 4: I didn't think I would go with for this one.
Speaker 3: Interesting, Okay, Okay, I would That's the I mean the
Speaker 3: point that you made about like not knowing we're to
Speaker 3: go with Riha ripley. I mean, Ria is gonna be
Speaker 3: is one of those people who have proved. Yeah she can,
Speaker 3: she can do whatever. But she's also so that, which
Speaker 3: means that she can hold the championship and you know,
Speaker 3: and we'll get over that way. But at the same time,
Speaker 3: at the same time, Jade does need a championship in
Speaker 3: order for at least in my mind, she needs a
Speaker 3: championship in order to be interesting at this point.
Speaker 4: So yeah, right, I don't know if you see what
Speaker 4: I mean though, Like, if you take the title off
Speaker 4: of her, what do you do with her after Mania?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Uh, it's almost the same with Ria to me, with
Speaker 4: winning it, So I don't know. I just think you
Speaker 4: keep it on Jade and somehow, you know, continue that.
Speaker 4: You know, again, can you tell a good story? You
Speaker 4: can have either person go over in this one.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Sammy Zaane versus Trick Williams, I'm getting I'm choosing Trick
Speaker 3: Williams to go over Zane.
Speaker 4: I would say so too, because I want Sammy to
Speaker 4: continue to descend further into desperation and then eventually you
Speaker 4: start ping ponging him back up towards the top, because
Speaker 4: if the rumor is right, he may get some sort
Speaker 4: of come up into the world title at WrestleMania forty three. Now,
Speaker 4: you don't get there just by having him like retain
Speaker 4: this thing and then keep going for a while. I
Speaker 4: think he would flounder that way. I think you beat
Speaker 4: him all the way down to the bottom bottom and
Speaker 4: then we'll see what happens there. But then you build
Speaker 4: them back up or something. I don't know if that
Speaker 4: makes sense, but I think it is Trick's moment to
Speaker 4: be had. I don't know if you have any shenanigans,
Speaker 4: because like Carmelo Hayes is part of this whole thing, yep,
Speaker 4: so that could factor in. But yeah, I'm gonna give
Speaker 4: this one a Trick Williams.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing.
Speaker 3: You don't need shenanigans for Trick Williams to be to
Speaker 3: look like a credible winner. So that's one thing. The
Speaker 3: demon Finn Valor versus Domsterio. I know we talked about
Speaker 3: this last week and everything, but but do you still
Speaker 3: feel the.
Speaker 2: Same way Finn. I picked Finn because.
Speaker 4: I don't really see why Dom would need anything right
Speaker 4: now in terms of a victory over Finn. I think
Speaker 4: that would kill Finn. I think that Finn is like
Speaker 4: he has some momentum. Dom is already up there. He's
Speaker 4: going to stay up there. People love him, and he's
Speaker 4: going to get to his like world title picture stuff sometime.
Speaker 4: I don't think it needs to be this time. I
Speaker 4: think Finn should win this one.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Well, you know who also loves him, Live Morgan loves them.
Speaker 3: Maybe not Gianna the Dio, but Live Morgan loves them.
Speaker 3: See him Punk and Roman reigns. Who's your final pick
Speaker 3: for this one?
Speaker 4: Roman for the World Heavyweight Championship. Mm hmmm, why, I
Speaker 4: don't know. Let's see. I think that Punk has held
Speaker 4: up his World Heavyweight Championship duties well enough. I think
Speaker 4: that it just needs to shift over to someone else.
Speaker 4: I think Romans should definitely get this one. I don't
Speaker 4: like that they were implying that this is now better
Speaker 4: than the WWE title. I don't think they needed to
Speaker 4: go there, you know, just to go back to some
Speaker 4: of the build for this. There were places they didn't
Speaker 4: need to go. But I do still think Romans should
Speaker 4: get the World Heavyweight Championship. And then you can like
Speaker 4: play into all sorts of stuff like with Jay Usso
Speaker 4: because he was kind of throwing his weight around when
Speaker 4: Roman was beating up Punk and everything. So I mean,
Speaker 4: there might be more interesting places to go with Roman
Speaker 4: as the new world heavyweight champion. All the same, if
Speaker 4: Punk Semo retains it, there can be many stories coming
Speaker 4: out of that too, But I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I don't think I have any
Speaker 3: any objection to Roman going over at the same time,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And if there's any if there's any time to lose
Speaker 3: a world championship for Sam Punk, it would be WrestleMania.
Speaker 3: If if he's gonna lose it, he better lose it
Speaker 3: to the grandest stage of the mall.
Speaker 4: So hey, it gets his actual the main event wish
Speaker 4: true this time last year he did it was the
Speaker 4: triple threat to end Night one. But this is the
Speaker 4: end end. This is the closer of the weekend. This
Speaker 4: is the true main event that Punk's been waiting for
Speaker 4: on a singles world title level.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: And and with that, honestly, we're out of time here
Speaker 3: on the radio and uh and and also out of
Speaker 3: time because WrestleMania is upon us now. We will definitely
Speaker 3: be back next week for our WrestleMania fallout and assessment,
Speaker 3: and we could be joined by some of the by
Speaker 3: some guests for the WrestleMania All Out, some voices you
Speaker 3: may or may not have heard before on the show.
Speaker 3: But we'll see how we can get that going with
Speaker 3: with WITHI you boys out there, But thank you to
