Chico nu get At Cocoa collects, 15 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:06.599 so we can follow him. 16 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.760 And how many days do we have left before wrest. 17 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.400 We have as of broadcast time, we have three days 18 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.359 left till WrestleMania Saturday. 19 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:20.159 WrestleMania Saturday, that is correct, three days. My gosh, it's 20 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.959 I don't know from I don't know what it is, Chico, 21 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.799 But for some reason, I feel like this WrestleMania season 22 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.920 has actually gone a little bit slower than other WrestleMania 23 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.000 seasons I've experienced in the recent past. 24 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.599 Yeah, okay, slow is one word for it. Another word is, oh, 25 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.000 hold on, what's this? Who's contacting me mysteriously on my 26 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.400 phone on the side here? Uh hmm, yeah, no, okay, Yeah, 27 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.799 So that phone call storyline with Randy Orton was it 28 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.879 turned out to be a left turn that nobody anticipated 29 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:55.439 and some would say pointless. 30 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.200 It's being ripped apart everywhere online. I'm sure it is. Yet, Yeah, 31 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.239 this road is and bumpy, to say the least. 32 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.959 Mmm, it's and it's like it's it's it is a 33 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.199 frustrating thing in that sort of sense because it's like 34 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.879 this storyline with Randy Yorton and Cody Rhodes could have 35 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.039 been just just just just great. 36 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.120 It could have been it could have been great. 37 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.159 It could have been something that you know, could stand 38 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.680 at test of time if they had just stuck to 39 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.120 the idea of you know, this is the legacy, this 40 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.599 is who they could the history between them as opposed 41 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.319 to you know, uh again. 42 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:35.680 One more time, and I'll say this because I love 43 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:36.800 saying this on the area it. 44 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:37.120 Was me. 45 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.280 Yikes, So I mean they could have kept it simpler. 46 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.680 I think is the be all and all of that 47 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.719 that issue with the main event of Night one, mm hmm, 48 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.560 I think they could have just yeah, focused on Orton 49 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.199 and Rhodes and how you know, they even kind of 50 00:02:58.199 --> 00:02:59.960 strayed far from the whole there is more than one 51 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.000 Royal Family pro Wrestling or whatever, because Randy did taunt 52 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.280 Cody with that and then they did like a weird 53 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.479 left turn and brought in Pat McAfee. I mean, I 54 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.280 know Ari Emmanuel is his agent and also the CEO 55 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:21.439 of TKO, but yeah, ah ma, like it's just okay. 56 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.199 Like I've said, we discussed this at length last week 57 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.080 at Nauseum. Even there have been some good promos that 58 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.879 have resulted from it. But I mean I say that, 59 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:37.240 and still if you kind of take a bigger picture 60 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.599 look at it, it still doesn't really make much sense. 61 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.919 Yeah, it's it's it's tough because it's I think we've 62 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:50.439 been spoiled, honestly on one end. Yes, the writing in 63 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.120 this and the creative in this could be so much 64 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.960 better because it could be simple. 65 00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.120 And now that's something that we'll get into a little 66 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.319 bit later. CM Punk and Roman reigns because that's simple 67 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.240 and has been working. 68 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:04.719 For quite a bit. 69 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.439 But but there's some issues as well too with that. 70 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:13.400 But it's like it's it's like, yeah, it's there's I 71 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.839 think on one end, we've been so spoiled over the 72 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.240 last four years or from or at least from twenty 73 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.199 twenty all the way up to twenty twenty four to 74 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:27.199 twenty twenty five, that the Bloodline story again is has 75 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:32.160 been the best story that has ever come out of 76 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.399 professional wrestling. And I agree with that, and it's not 77 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.439 even close. I mean, like, you know, you have your 78 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.240 simple stories. As I keep mentioning, I love going back 79 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:44.959 to it because it is still one of my favorite 80 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.879 FEUs ever, still called Steve Austin's versus the Rock WrestleMania 81 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.000 X seven. You have the WWF Championship and I want it. 82 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.160 That's it, that's all, that's all it is. And but 83 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:56.600 then when you have but then when you can play 84 00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.120 a pair of that to the way that they've worked 85 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.519 in the Bloodline and then thanks to the pandemic and 86 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.560 all that sort of stuff to work weave in things 87 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:07.120 that you wouldn't have necessarily weaved into you in a 88 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:11.279 regular wrestling storyline if you had like fans in the 89 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.800 crowd and you didn't and you had to rely on 90 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.600 things happening live in front of the crowd. Uh, there's 91 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.639 a lot of things that couldn't happen in that sort 92 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.399 of sense. But the continuity, the character development, when the 93 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.920 crowd was able to come back, you had, you know, 94 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.319 you had the ability to play with the crowd and 95 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.639 to improv with the crowd. Uh and and and uh, 96 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.720 you know, you you'd have you know, main event, jay 97 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.319 Uso trying to keep a straight face and then Roman 98 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.800 Reign's coming right out and say, hey, buddy, I'm. 99 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.240 Gonna make you. 100 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.439 I'm gonna I'm gonna test, I'm gonna test you even more. 101 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.680 I'm gonna see if and see if you go crack. 102 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.279 And you know, you had great moments like that. And 103 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.199 then when the actual storyline, scripted moments actually did happen, and. 104 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:06.000 It was, it hit differently and it hit so much better. 105 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.360 And and so I think in that sort of sense, 106 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:15.160 they were they they tried to put more complexity and 107 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.439 more and more nuanced to a story that didn't need that. 108 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.120 You went in so many directions just now that I 109 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:27.959 don't even know how we're gonna get back to WrestleMania 110 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:28.560 forty two. 111 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:29.480 Mm hmm. 112 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.600 Well that's that's what I tried to say, is that 113 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.000 like the wrestling, that storyline, that a storyline between Randy Orton, 114 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.639 as you said, could have been beeen Randy Orton and 115 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:40.800 all that basically simpler. 116 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.360 Basically your point is much like the build for this 117 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.399 Orton and uh Roads thing. 118 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:51.240 Just keep it simple, yeah, exactly exactly. Look look what 119 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.879 I just did. I went and went through a whole 120 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:58.160 different muddled things exactly, and all it all needed was 121 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.199 a simple thing that you just said in the in 122 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.560 the beginning of that before I made that rant. 123 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:03.199 Exactly. 124 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.000 See everybody, listeners, everyone, see what happens when you overcomplicate things, 125 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:09.480 you put too many words in there. 126 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.759 You know, it just becomes too much and you lose 127 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.240 the essence of the point. 128 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.800 Also, all of that bloodline stuff, I mean it kind 129 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.800 of added on the debut of Raw on Netflix, Wink 130 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.839 Wagnarde Mudge, Nobody's Falter or anything like that. 131 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.879 So for those of you who for those of you 132 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.759 who do not have the benefit of flash photography or video, 133 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.279 because I haven't put this on YouTube, the Chico is 134 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:43.959 currently showing off his WrestleMania Sunday from WrestleMania forty Rock 135 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.240 action figure with the Mama Roads belt and the exact 136 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.839 attire that The Rock War or at least the or 137 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.879 at least the attire that The Rock War in micro form, 138 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:59.959 plus John Cena in his WrestleMania forty Sunday at Tire 139 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.959 as well before he got rock bottom by the Final Boss. 140 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.480 Yes, and so it brings us to this year.

A gets Becky Lynn Uh, the Irresistible Forces, 193 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:06.799 Naya Jackson, Lash Legend Uh put up there WWE Women's 194 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.919 Tag Team Championship versus Uh The Best Friend of Me, 195 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.919 Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, Uh Bailey and Lyra Valkyria, 196 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:18.320 as well as the Bella Twins breed Bella and Nikki Bella. 197 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.679 Uh. I think this is this the first time they'll 198 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.080 be wrestling together? Uh? 199 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.559 In that like first of for sure WrestleMania. But is 200 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:30.159 this the first time they're wrestling together in WWE in years? 201 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:31.919 I'm not sure. 202 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:33.919 But they may have already had a tag team match 203 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.519 or two on Raw SmackDown since they returned. 204 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.240 Mm. But but honestly, as much as they didn't care 205 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.320 about the Bellet Twins back in the day, I'm actually 206 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.480 just for the nostalgia factor and just for the fact that, like, 207 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.159 my god, the Bellot twins are in there again. 208 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.799 Oh they look good man. Although they do. 209 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.360 And they they do and everything and and and and 210 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.240 I think I said this before that Nicky seems to have, like, 211 00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.879 you know, really committed herself to stepping up her game. 212 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:00.799 Yeah. 213 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.080 Oh, the speaking of Nikki there, I'm not sure if 214 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:06.799 I'm hearing this correctly or recalling this correctly. And there 215 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:11.039 may be possibility that Nicky won't be cleared in time 216 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.679 for Mania, in which case they may end up replacing 217 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:19.360 the Bella Twins with the Kabooki Warriors. That that would 218 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.200 not be I mean, they would fit in just fine. 219 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.200 Oh yeah, I mean that's I mean Kobookie Warriors. I 220 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.639 mean they's fun to watch and everything, and uh uh 221 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.519 and and and and and uh yeah, they're all equals 222 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.840 in the ring, all all these women as well too. 223 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.639 So it's just the sure, it's just it'll be a 224 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:39.759 good match. Nonetheless, I don't know how long they're gonna 225 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.159 have as in the match, but sure it's gonna be. 226 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.320 I'm pretty sure they'll make the best of the time 227 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.200 that they're going to be. You know that they're gonna 228 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.399 be given. But and that's and the reason why is 229 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:53.440 because you've got Seth Rowland, Seth Rowans, set Rowland, Roward, Rowans, 230 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.840 Rollins versus Gunter, uh, just the grudge match themselves. And 231 00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:59.559 then of course, the main event of Cody Road is 232 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.519 putting up the undisputed w W Championship versus Randy York 233 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:06.399 with Pat McAfee at his side, and possibly and of course, 234 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:10.600 you know it hasn't been announced yet, but Jelly Roll 235 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.840 will probably be making his way in there. But the 236 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:17.639 stipulation is if Orton loses, McAfee will leave professional wrestling 237 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:18.200 for good. 238 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.759 Yeah, which means Randy's totally winning his fifteenth World championship 239 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:25.600 We're not getting rid of PAD anytime soon. Look, I 240 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:29.799 don't have a problem with Pat McAfee, the person I own. 241 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:31.639 I don't even have a problem with a creative team 242 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.559 or Triple H. I think this is TKO missing around 243 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.799 with stuff m I don't think it's any of the 244 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.000 usual people that would would get the blame for it. 245 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.000 I don't even blame PAD, to be honest with you. 246 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.559 Money's money, business is business. I ultimately think this is 247 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.360 corporate getting in the way of artists. 248 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.840 That that would make sense, that would that that that 249 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.200 that would make sense, and it's and it's also I mean, 250 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.200 it is a it is something that I would say 251 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:06.120 that even Vince McMahon was guilty of during his time 252 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.799 running the WWE, because he became more as he became 253 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.399 more corporate and and of course he was the head 254 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.360 of everything. So but I think that I think in 255 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:22.399 some some different fashion that also did happen back of 256 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.480 the WWF. But it's more pronounced now because it is 257 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:27.799 no longer owned by the McMahon family. 258 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.039 It's owned by a corporation. 259 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.639 Well, I mean, like the headline for this episode says, 260 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:35.840 I'm sure it'll all work out. 261 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.039 I think even that that match is going to be fine. 262 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.320 I think this is one of those WrestleManias and we're 263 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.600 not quite done running everything down yet, but I think 264 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:46.720 this is one of those manias that actually has a 265 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.679 pretty good card if you look at both Knights. Yeah, 266 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:55.000 and I think the the lackluster thing has been the build. 267 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.320 But I think on the two nights, I think I 268 00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:59.639 think both Knights are going to be actually really good. 269 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.360 It's just for lack of a build this time. I 270 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.120 guess this is hopefully it's going to be one of 271 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.519 those that's a sleeper hit kind of thing, because I 272 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:11.240 don't know how many people are expecting this to be 273 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:14.440 any good. But at the same time, with the bar 274 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.159 set kind of low from last year's WrestleMania, this one 275 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.639 might surprise everybody with how good it is. 276 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:25.159 Right right, right, And I mean it's also unfair to 277 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.679 Roasto's WrestleMania for the bar to be. 278 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.639 Set as low as it was, just because of the 279 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:36.159 fact that, you know, WrestleMania forty was it was as 280 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.720 close to perfect of a WrestleMania as you could get. 281 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.919 Without being WrestleMania X seven. Yes go on, yes, yes, yes, yes. 282 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.519 Ringside heat a news stok Saga nine sixty am. We're 283 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.799 continuing to run down the card here for WrestleMania forty two, 284 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.480 but one thing before I get it, before we get 285 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:55.600 into ww RAW last Monday night, as well as on 286 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.279 as well as SmackDown, or or at least I'd like 287 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.600 to just one last thing about smack Down. When I 288 00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.039 was when I was watching it over and look at 289 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:08.639 the highlights again, I still and like you know, people 290 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:10.639 have said it was lackluster, but I think there was 291 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.759 one high point in the in the show, dan Housen 292 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.159 having won his first match in WPE. 293 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.240 I really dug it, man, I've been digging all his stuff. Look, 294 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.519 I said right from the very beginning, and you probably 295 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.799 look back on the show's episodes too, from the start. 296 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.399 I just think the only thing wrong with the debut 297 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:35.000 of Dan Housen was the way they overhyped the box. 298 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.360 That's it, because I mean sure Chicago went crazy boom 299 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:44.399 that night at Chamber, but since then, to be honest 300 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:46.159 with you, it's all hit for me. 301 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.960 Yeah, I mean they you that's the thing I gain. 302 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.159 And again you've said it before, and we've said it 303 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.600 many times, and we've said it in the past when 304 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.039 Dan Housen was still in aew if there's anyone company 305 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:00.600 that knows what to do with it Dan House, and 306 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.559 it would be w W. 307 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:04.559 E YEA so far, so good man. Yeah, it's good 308 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:08.039 that all the crossover stuff. You know, he's on different 309 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.400 people's socials that you never would have thought, well, he'd 310 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.359 be on you know, like he you know, there's so 311 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:15.599 much like and then they're even building lore with all 312 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:17.599 the social media posts that you could kind of weave 313 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.400 into the SmackDown and raw appearances mmmmmm. 314 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.880 And so you know, hopefully hopefully we'll get a little 315 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.680 bit more Dan House in as well at WrestleMania. Maybe 316 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.200 he's got maybe he's got some surprise curses up the 317 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.440 sleeve or you know, uh, the the for a certain 318 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.160 you know, one of uh sort a certain guy who 319 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.119 is a more of a you know, a c lister, 320 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.400 but you know, considers himself an a lister. 321 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:48.200 Kay Wilson, that's his feud right now, who are you 322 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:48.640 talking about? 323 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:54.000 No, miss, you have more cursals. He may have more 324 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.160 curses for me. Is up to sleep for WrestleMania. 325 00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.319 Just see too many words? Keep it Tipple.

So you know, a contrary to wwees version 402 00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:02.279 of putting thirteen matches over two nights, AW put thirteen 403 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.480 matches over one full night. 404 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.279 Come On, Go Home. 405 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:13.960 Dynasty was held at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia. 406 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.079 Some of you may remember that of a certain some 407 00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:18.160 of you of a certain vintage may remember that as 408 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.039 GM Place, and some of you have a certain vintage 409 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.480 as well. To me, remember that as Canada Hockey Place 410 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:27.000 where Sidney Crosby scored his golden goal to win the 411 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:30.920 gold medal for the twenty ten Vancouver Olympic Games. 412 00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.359 Same arena and everything. 413 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.039 And that this was the first pay per view from 414 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:42.160 ALI Wrestling in Western Canada.

Since Allen won, he will 430 00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.839 receive an AW World Championship match scheduled for a Dynamite 431 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.440 spring break on April fifteen, twenty twenty six. And you 432 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:59.119 know tonight, that's right, April fifteen, nets right, that is 433 00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:03.759 tonight die M spring breakthrough.

So I so 441 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:30.319 I think I think Andrada won that one. Uh, but uh, 442 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.400 you know, as you said, as you said, he also 443 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.440 had a little bit of a iron chic moment one 444 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:37.880 time over there too. 445 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:39.240 So yeah. 446 00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:43.319 Anyway, F T R, Dax Hollwood and Cash Wheeler UH 447 00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:48.079 defeat Cope and Cage a W World Tag Team Championship match. 448 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:50.920 I was actually hoping that uh A. 449 00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.039 N C would actually win that or ean C rather 450 00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:57.640 uh as I as I actually know them, UH would 451 00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:58.440 have won that one. 452 00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.079 Honestly. 453 00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.599 Yeah, it's a little puzzling to me that the entire 454 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.359 Canadian contingent pretty much all lost. I think, other than maybe, 455 00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:12.200 I don't know if Kyle O'Reilly in his match one 456 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.440 won the trio's titles. I think they may have. 457 00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:21.000 Well, let's get yes, yep, Kyl O'Riley did win the 458 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.200 trios match. That was a ten It was a quick 459 00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:27.240 ten minute match, Orange Cassidy Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly 460 00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:31.000 the Conglomeration defeating the Dogs David Finley, Clark Connors and 461 00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:31.680 Gabe Kid. 462 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.039 We also ga Gabe Kid get well soon. I hear 463 00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:36.119 there's an injury involved. 464 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:40.799 Oh goodness, gracious again, I mean it is a unfortunately, 465 00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.400 it is just a fact of life when it comes 466 00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:47.519 to wrestling. But still it's unfortunate when that happens. Yeah yeah, 467 00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:52.039 Kevin Knight won by Yeah, Yeah, yeah, Kevin Knight, yeah 468 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.079 one by Benning Daniel Garcina. In the ten man Casino 469 00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:57.880 Gutlet match for the vacant AE WT and T Championship, 470 00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.680 Tecla defeated Jamie Hayter. I didn't like that. I would 471 00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.079 have loved to see Jamie Hater win that one instead. Uh, honestly, just. 472 00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:08.039 Solja wasn't gonna happen, I know. 473 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:13.319 But still, John Moxley defeated will osprey Uh by pinfall 474 00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:18.039 for the AW Continental Championship, and then in the main 475 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:20.759 event of the evening, it was MJF getting the pinfall 476 00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:25.799 against Winnipeg's Kenny Omega to retain the AW World Championship. 477 00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:28.240 So guess that's what Kenny Omega's got to do. Now, 478 00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:29.440 let's just put over the talent. 479 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.640 How did you like MJF doing a jumping tombstone onto 480 00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:36.319 the table outside to get Kenny Omega. 481 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:43.440 Oh, I'm so, I'm I'm all, I'm I'm always always, 482 00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:48.079 always so conflicted, especially when it's not somebody who's seven 483 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.119 feet tall doing a tombstone or a pile driver and 484 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.440 then doing it unto the outside onto the table. 485 00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:55.640 Now, granted, I think that there might be a little 486 00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.720 there might have been a little bit more of a safety. 487 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.599 It might have been slightly safer in one in some 488 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:08.000 ways because you're off the ground. It's actually m jf 489 00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.440 s knees that are are likely the ones that will. 490 00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:10.920 Break the table. 491 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.960 At the same time, but at the same time, it's 492 00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:18.000 like I just don't like tombstones. So unless it's Kane 493 00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.720 and the Undertaker or or as you know, Kine was 494 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.359 as as the Undertaker was known as one originally Kane 495 00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:30.880 the Undertaker. But but but I just don't like I 496 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:36.079 don't like pile drivers. I hate watching pile drivers. Well, 497 00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.920 you're gonna have to keep watching them because they're a 498 00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:39.960 big part of pro wrestling. 499 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:42.599 I know, I know, I know. It just doesn't have 500 00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:44.839 to I just don't have to like them. Uh. 501 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.759 And and the last GCW show that I called Kingsley 502 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:50.359 actually took four pile drivers. 503 00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.880 I remember I watched that. That was brutal. 504 00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:57.119 Yeah, and I'm just and and like, yeah, I'm just like, well, 505 00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:01.440 Thanksgiving gonna be if she if she's still feeling that 506 00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:04.079 injury of Thanksgiving, it's gonna be real awkward next the 507 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:05.119 couple come October. 508 00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:06.400 But anyway, but. 509 00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:10.240 That was aw Dynasty at Rogers Arena. Paid attendance for 510 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:15.759 the night was a whopping nine and thirty six, which 511 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:17.240 is pretty good for aw these days. 512 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:19.160 Honestly, no comment. 513 00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:22.880 I mean, but then again, when you compare the fact 514 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.440 that you know, and here's the thing, it's like, we 515 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:31.440 know Arena's hockey and basketball arenas like Skotia Bank Arena 516 00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:34.400 can hold up to eighteen thousand up to twenty thousand 517 00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:38.039 on if you make enough room. But at the same time, 518 00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:41.640 it's like, you know, ww raw was only was attended 519 00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:45.839 here on in Toronto, only eleven thousand people were in 520 00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.240 the arena because they blocked off a whole bunch of 521 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:50.839 stuff because of the set and everything. And I get it, 522 00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:52.559 I get it. You want to make the set look 523 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.319 good and everything. And at the same time, it's like, 524 00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:57.799 at the same time, I do miss like the simpler 525 00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:59.799 sets and like, you know, have the eighteen thousand people 526 00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.799 in arena for these wrestling shows too, So. 527 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.720 Then again like then again seven thousand people. 528 00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:09.359 When you have that many numbers whatever like that in between, 529 00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:12.279 it's like, you know, it's just a blur at this point. 530 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:16.079 So so there's one thing I think AW can do 531 00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.359 to make a big enough splash where they remain. In 532 00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.920 the conversation of Pro Wrestling for the weekend on Dynamite, 533 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:24.599 you said, who's getting a title shot? 534 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:28.519 Who was getting a title shot at AW Dynamite. That 535 00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:35.920 would be Darby Allen at Dynamite Spring Breakthrough. If they 536 00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:40.680 have Darby Allen, go over on MJF. That's a headline. Yeah, 537 00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.039 that would be. That actually would be I mean, you 538 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.960 would grab some attention at least it would because it's 539 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:50.960 especially because you know, as you said last week, TK 540 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:55.400 hasn't exactly been been very liberal at pulling the trigger 541 00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:56.279 for Darby Allen. 542 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.640 So yeah, no, and and with the general blazz going 543 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:04.279 about WrestleMania and WWE a little bit this week, especially 544 00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:09.000 with the sorry, in my opinion, lackluster go home show 545 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:12.240 on Monday Night, Raw, I mean it's on a w 546 00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:13.720 to capitalize a little bit. 547 00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:18.400 Mm hmm. Yeah, well I mean that, I mean, they 548 00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.920 do have their chance tonight. They've had multiple chances, and 549 00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.160 let's see what they do tonight. 550 00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:26.400 Mm hmm. But let's go over to WW RAW. 551 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:29.319 Now we do have up that we still have some 552 00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:30.960 time in this segment over here, so let's go with 553 00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:32.920 RAW before we go a bit, before we take a 554 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:34.200 break and go into WrestleMania. 555 00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:39.319 What was it specifically that just made that that that that. 556 00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:42.359 That just made RAW for you just blase a and 557 00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:48.000 like kind of meh. 558 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:47.799 I don't know, it just didn't feel like super hype 559 00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:51.799 WrestleMania time. I mean, I don't know there was just 560 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:57.839 it was just lacking. I think the punk and rains thing, 561 00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:00.200 especially kind of punctuated at the end of the night 562 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.200 with not with a bang, but with a whimper. 563 00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:06.440 I think that they're exchange. I mean, to be fair, 564 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:08.240 they've had a lot of heat the past. 565 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:12.480 Few weeks, but part of it's felt a little like 566 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:16.599 repetitive maybe, and then this one was just boring. 567 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:17.920 Hm. 568 00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:20.279 So I don't know where they're going with this. I mean, 569 00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:23.759 I'm sure it'll still be fun, but I mean, I'm 570 00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:28.039 sure the video the media team at at WWE is 571 00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:32.680 going to make some some kick ass like hype vignettes 572 00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:35.200 to lead up to each match, So I guess that's 573 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:37.559 where I'm going with all of this stuff. I think 574 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.839 that at WrestleMania, I think I'll just pay attention to 575 00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:43.920 all the hype videos beforehand each before each match, and 576 00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:45.599 I'll probably feel okay about everything. 577 00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:46.119 I don't know. 578 00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:50.599 Well, at the same time, it's like we were talking 579 00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:54.440 about how we wanted something a little bit more simple 580 00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:59.759 for Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, and this one see 581 00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:01.160 them funk and Roman reigns. 582 00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:03.640 That is as simple as it gets. 583 00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:07.119 I hate you, You hate me, there's a championship on 584 00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:10.640 the line, I'm gonna kick your I'm gonna kick your 585 00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:13.960 teeth in order to take it. That's as simple as 586 00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:17.880 you can get in professional wrestling. And that's what the 587 00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:22.480 formula literally has been. Yes, there have been, you know, uh, 588 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:27.119 very have have been you know, things that have been 589 00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.559 said that go a little bit deeper than the usual 590 00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:31.480 wrestling promo might. Uh. 591 00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:33.599 But that's because we know these characters. 592 00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:36.319 We know these people, uh, and we know even a 593 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:40.319 little bit about their own personal lives to know that uh, 594 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:43.599 what they're using and what they're drawing from from real life. 595 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:48.440 Could uh you know, could it could be could make 596 00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:52.440 that splash uh and get the ears and the eyes 597 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:54.839 on the product that way, because oh, did you hear 598 00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:55.480 him say this? 599 00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:56.799 Did you hear him say that? 600 00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:02.200 But uh, but but but uh I think that they 601 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.039 could have I but then, you know, there's a part 602 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.240 of me that feels like they could have saved some 603 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.400 of the strongest stuff that they had early on in 604 00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:10.840 the build. 605 00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:12.559 They could have saved that for the go home. 606 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:16.960 Yep, they could have odd placement of the different parts 607 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:21.039 of the of the heat of the feud. So I mean, yeah, again, 608 00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.039 they ended not with a bang, but with a whimper. 609 00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:24.639 That's that's all I gotta say about that. 610 00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:25.360 It was not. 611 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:29.079 Very thrilling as a go home show. It didn't feel 612 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:30.360 like one mm hmm. 613 00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:35.639 And and you know, hopefully hopefully this coming Friday night 614 00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.960 when they had SmackDown and the Hall of Fame, hopefully 615 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:42.960 then there's some something could be salvage from that fat 616 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:43.519 Chance man. 617 00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:45.000 That's already the night before Mania. 618 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:48.440 They're in Vegas, they're doing the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, 619 00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:51.760 so it's already considered part of WrestleMania. 620 00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.719 I wouldn't even consider that a go home show. Mmmmmm. 621 00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:57.400 So it's essentially like the kickoff show. 622 00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:00.920 Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, I mean, I mean that's 623 00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:02.920 the formula that they've had over the past few years 624 00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:07.400 and everything right. And at the same time, i mean, 625 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:11.920 looking back to WrestleMania forty, I'm I mean, I mean, 626 00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:14.920 I mean, it was fun, the wrestling was fun, but 627 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.039 then we were all there to see Paul Hayman anyway, so. 628 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.159 Yeah, yeah, my goodness. 629 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:23.079 I mean, I'm glad we get to see it on 630 00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:26.400 YouTube this year for Canadians. The Hall of Fame, I mean, 631 00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:29.320 but that starts at midnight Eastern man. 632 00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:36.079 Yeah, yeah, And I mean we we're busy people. We 633 00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:37.639 got to do stuff in the mornings on time. Well, 634 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:39.239 I'm not even feeling that good this week. 635 00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:41.760 I'm feeling a little ill even recording this, So, I mean, 636 00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:44.800 WW is not helping their case very much. Like I 637 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.400 just hope that, honestly, I just hope with all the 638 00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:50.000 things that people have had to say, I've had good 639 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.840 and bad things to say about the build to WrestleMania 640 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:55.920 along the way. With all of that, I just hope 641 00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:00.480 it's at minimum better than last year's wrestle Mania. 642 00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:01.400 Hmmm. 643 00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:04.719 I think I'll be happy with just about anything that's 644 00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:05.719 better than last year. 645 00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:07.159 Mm hmmmmm. 646 00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:11.119 I mean, okay, I'll say this. Last year's WrestleMania for me, 647 00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:16.880 wasn't that bad. It was just accentuated by the bye bye, 648 00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:21.480 by the failure of the Johnson Well, honestly, wasn't the 649 00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:24.000 failure of John Cena or Cody Road. They did their thing. 650 00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:26.840 It was the failure of Dwayne not showing up. 651 00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:28.440 Yeah, that's it. 652 00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.440 That put a big damper on everything, unfortunately, But that's 653 00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:32.639 that's how it's perceived. 654 00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:39.519 Sorry exactly, but you know, what hopefully these six matches 655 00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:44.440 on on WrestleMania Sunday will be a little bit better 656 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:46.599 or well, well we'll make things better along with the 657 00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:49.719 WrestleMania Saturday matches, which we already talked about. And so 658 00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:53.440 that's what we're going to review before we you know, 659 00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:57.559 before we sign off for the weekend and uh and 660 00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.719 take in some WrestleMania as we have been for many 661 00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:04.800 many years now. And but before that WrestleMania Saturday on 662 00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:07.119 April to nineteenth, the six matches on the card, we'll 663 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:10.159 talk about that after these promotional considerations. 664 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:14.159 Hello everyone, this is former Pro Wrestling Slash Sports Entertainment 665 00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:17.159 referee Jimmy Corderos, and you're listening to the new voice 666 00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:22.400 of Pro Wrestling Slash Sports Entertainment in the GTA Ringside 667 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:27.039 Heat right here on News Talk SAGA ninety sixty AM. 668 00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:30.679 No Radio, No Problem.

I mean those 680 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:18.360 aren't technically speaking, those aren't really cures per se. 681 00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:23.360 They're more of a they're more of a symptom. Management. Sure, 682 00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:24.960 sure they'll get through job. 683 00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:29.559 Yeah, and well, I mean yeah, I mean some say 684 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.719 that's what some are saying. 685 00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:36.360 That's what Ron SmackDown were this past weekend. Oh my goodness. Symptom. 686 00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:44.840 That's it. Just that's it. That's all it was. So Wrestleman. 687 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:48.679 Yeah, Sunday, April nineteenth, Uh, six matches on the card. 688 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:52.239 Uh gonna be started off here by Oba Femi and 689 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:57.760 brock Lesnar grute match postmatch Oba fem definitely going over. 690 00:38:58.159 --> 00:38:59.760 Gotta gotta do it. 691 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:02.599 And again I do like that this is the match 692 00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:06.159 that will kick off Night two, which will be for 693 00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:11.800 Americans on free ESPN. So I mean this is as 694 00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:14.480 good a chance as any as WW will have this 695 00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:18.440 weekend to get eyes on the product besides the previous 696 00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:22.159 night Night one being opened with the match that involves 697 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.679 Logan Paul, so a lot of new eyes probably gonna 698 00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:30.880 come into But yeah, Obafemi brock Lesner's that's rightfully the 699 00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:33.840 one that's going to be kicking off Night too. OVA's 700 00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:36.400 got to win it. There's nothing else I can see 701 00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:40.800 that is a favorable result. If I think if Brock 702 00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:46.039 is as good as he's been at at seeing talent 703 00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:49.159 that he should be putting over, I think he's gonna 704 00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:50.639 let Oba Femi get. 705 00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:51.559 The victory in this one. 706 00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:55.679 Mm. I mean, and he has been good and he 707 00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:58.719 also has been and he also has been putting over 708 00:39:59.000 --> 00:39:59.760 the younger talent. 709 00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:01.519 Yeah, I mean he even did it. 710 00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:03.920 Let's see who's Who's one of the big men that 711 00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:06.320 he put over a few years ago ultimately didn't lead 712 00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:08.639 to anything just because of other circumstances. But he even 713 00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:12.039 put over people like Keith Lee, you know, you know 714 00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:14.320 other other people, Drew McIntyre, he did a really good 715 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:18.000 job putting him over. All it took was one claymore 716 00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:21.519 and you know, brocked selling it like a champ. I 717 00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:23.400 think he's going to be doing the same for Oba. 718 00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:25.679 I think he's going to do the honors and help 719 00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:27.960 launch the career of this guy because just the way 720 00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:31.199 they've been playing it, Oba for the victory to kick 721 00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:33.760 off night too, for sure, mm hmm. 722 00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:37.639 And hey, you know what, you know what it's like 723 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:39.800 for some fans out there, it might be a little 724 00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:42.719 bit karma for him beating the Undertaker, but that's not 725 00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:47.559 his call. That was not his call. I totally don't 726 00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:49.360 even view it as that. He still didn't need that, 727 00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.320 But no, he's just really good at putting people over. 728 00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.239 He's a good pro and you know, he puts the 729 00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:58.360 pro and pro wrestling. He knows what he's worth and 730 00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:03.599 he knows when to give the other person like the 731 00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:05.039 victory and stuff like that. 732 00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:05.719 Now, mind you. 733 00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:09.239 I mean, he could have been more merciful to people 734 00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:14.199 like Kobe Kingston, but I mean that's debatable at this point. 735 00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:16.559 I just think he's gonna do the right thing here 736 00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:18.079 and put Oba over. 737 00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:19.079 Mm hmm. 738 00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:23.000 It's so as Kenny had as Kenny Smith would have said, 739 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:30.599 it's Oba anyway. Next match on the card, the six 740 00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:33.920 Pack Ladder match for the w W Into Continental Championship. 741 00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:38.159 It's Penta, who is the champion, putting it up, literally 742 00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:43.599 putting the title up on the line, Versus Javon Evans, Dragonly, 743 00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:46.880 JD McDonough, russf Ray Mystereo. 744 00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:48.960 Oh that's this. 745 00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:51.440 That that that's just gonna be the fun, flippy floppy 746 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:56.280 pie spot monkey match that is always going to that 747 00:41:56.320 --> 00:41:57.800 there's always going to energize that crowd. 748 00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.480 Hey man, it's a good one two punch to start 749 00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:02.599 off night too, let me tell you. 750 00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:04.880 Mm hmm.

Uh, I'm gonna say this was hard to predict. 753 00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:17.599 I mean, you could give it to Javan. I guess 754 00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:21.000 the kids love this guy. I mean, your boys bouncy 755 00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:21.440 and everything. 756 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:24.679 But I kind of want Penta to just keep it interesting. 757 00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:27.840 I don't know, do you have a pick? I don't. 758 00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:29.760 I don't have a strong I don't have strong feelings 759 00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:30.159 about it. 760 00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:34.280 I mean, if for me, it would either be either 761 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:37.960 pent or Javon Evans myself, but then you know, uh, 762 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:40.639 you know, they could give it to Raymistereo. 763 00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:41.800 For a little bit then just let you know, get 764 00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:43.760 get the crowd all hyped up. That way. 765 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:49.519 But I mean, if if I would say, I would say, 766 00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.000 I'd like to see Javon with a short title reign 767 00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:54.079 and then lose it and then maybe have that belt 768 00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:55.000 be the ping pong belt. 769 00:42:56.679 --> 00:42:58.000 Okay, well, I'm down with that. 770 00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:01.360 I'm not uh, I'm not too heavily invested in any 771 00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:03.079 one guy in that match, So just give me a 772 00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:04.880 good match, Okay. 773 00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:10.199 Women's Championship ww W Women's Championship Jade Cargill versus Rhea Ripley. 774 00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:13.400 Who retains or who gets it or does does Jade 775 00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:15.519 retain or does become champion again? 776 00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:18.079 Now this is kind of interesting to my brain because 777 00:43:18.559 --> 00:43:21.679 at first I wanted Ria Ripley outright to win against 778 00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:28.599 Jade Cargill, excuse me, but the addition of her her 779 00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:33.320 friends turned enemies turned friends again, her her crew of baddies, 780 00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:35.920 you know, now that she has a little crew. 781 00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:36.559 Back in her up. 782 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:40.559 I wouldn't have a problem with Jade retaining if they 783 00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:43.000 kind of have a little something something going to like 784 00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:46.039 Summer Slam or something, because I don't really think that 785 00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:51.199 like Rhea needs it in any way at all, Like 786 00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:56.519 like she could help Jade Cargills caused by putting her 787 00:43:56.559 --> 00:44:01.679 over somehow, and Jade having heavies to back her up 788 00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:05.639 kind of like helps it, not it helps to be 789 00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:08.679 a little more believable that Jade would beat Rhea because 790 00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:10.559 it just seems like Ria is kind of a juggernaut. 791 00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:13.559 But then again, Jade is kind of a heavy hitter 792 00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:15.960 as well. She's just not that great yet. 793 00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:17.079 M hm. 794 00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:23.199 So I think the addition of her her buddies like 795 00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:26.599 back in her corner, I think it helps her cause. 796 00:44:26.639 --> 00:44:28.320 So I don't know where I'm at with this one, 797 00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:33.760 because again I don't see, like, where do you go 798 00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:34.800 with Ria afterwards? 799 00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:35.239 I don't know. 800 00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.639 I feel like they interrupted the tag team momentum she 801 00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:41.519 had going with EO just to give an opponent to 802 00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:46.960 Jade that is blockbuster for WrestleMania like viewing. So okay, 803 00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:49.880 so let me just try to Okay, let's try to 804 00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.280 land the plane. I'm gonna just go with Jade, which 805 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:55.519 I didn't think I would go with for this one. 806 00:44:56.199 --> 00:45:01.960 Interesting, Okay, Okay, I would That's the I mean the 807 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:04.519 point that you made about like not knowing we're to 808 00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:06.920 go with Riha ripley. I mean, Ria is gonna be 809 00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:12.039 is one of those people who have proved. Yeah she can, 810 00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:14.599 she can do whatever. But she's also so that, which 811 00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:17.320 means that she can hold the championship and you know, 812 00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:21.199 and we'll get over that way. But at the same time, 813 00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:25.360 at the same time, Jade does need a championship in 814 00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:26.880 order for at least in my mind, she needs a 815 00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:29.679 championship in order to be interesting at this point. 816 00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:33.480 So yeah, right, I don't know if you see what 817 00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:36.440 I mean though, Like, if you take the title off 818 00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:38.599 of her, what do you do with her after Mania? 819 00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:39.159 I don't know. 820 00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:42.360 Uh, it's almost the same with Ria to me, with 821 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:44.840 winning it, So I don't know. I just think you 822 00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:48.599 keep it on Jade and somehow, you know, continue that. 823 00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:51.360 You know, again, can you tell a good story? You 824 00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:53.079 can have either person go over in this one. 825 00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:53.840 Mm hmm. 826 00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:57.320 Sammy Zaane versus Trick Williams, I'm getting I'm choosing Trick 827 00:45:57.320 --> 00:45:58.400 Williams to go over Zane. 828 00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:01.440 I would say so too, because I want Sammy to 829 00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:07.000 continue to descend further into desperation and then eventually you 830 00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:10.920 start ping ponging him back up towards the top, because 831 00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:14.960 if the rumor is right, he may get some sort 832 00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:19.400 of come up into the world title at WrestleMania forty three. Now, 833 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:23.719 you don't get there just by having him like retain 834 00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:26.079 this thing and then keep going for a while. I 835 00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:28.800 think he would flounder that way. I think you beat 836 00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:31.280 him all the way down to the bottom bottom and 837 00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:33.920 then we'll see what happens there. But then you build 838 00:46:33.960 --> 00:46:36.559 them back up or something. I don't know if that 839 00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:39.000 makes sense, but I think it is Trick's moment to 840 00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:41.920 be had. I don't know if you have any shenanigans, 841 00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:47.559 because like Carmelo Hayes is part of this whole thing, yep, 842 00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:50.840 so that could factor in. But yeah, I'm gonna give 843 00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.239 this one a Trick Williams. 844 00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:53.599 And that's the thing. 845 00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:56.760 You don't need shenanigans for Trick Williams to be to 846 00:46:56.800 --> 00:47:00.719 look like a credible winner. So that's one thing. The 847 00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:04.280 demon Finn Valor versus Domsterio. I know we talked about 848 00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:06.599 this last week and everything, but but do you still 849 00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:06.920 feel the. 850 00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:11.679 Same way Finn. I picked Finn because. 851 00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:18.360 I don't really see why Dom would need anything right 852 00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:21.239 now in terms of a victory over Finn. I think 853 00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:26.000 that would kill Finn. I think that Finn is like 854 00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:28.599 he has some momentum. Dom is already up there. He's 855 00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:30.920 going to stay up there. People love him, and he's 856 00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:35.320 going to get to his like world title picture stuff sometime. 857 00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:38.360 I don't think it needs to be this time. I 858 00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:40.079 think Finn should win this one. 859 00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:40.880 Mm hmm. 860 00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:44.119 Well, you know who also loves him, Live Morgan loves them. 861 00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:48.079 Maybe not Gianna the Dio, but Live Morgan loves them. 862 00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:51.599 See him Punk and Roman reigns. Who's your final pick 863 00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:52.119 for this one? 864 00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:59.320 Roman for the World Heavyweight Championship. Mm hmmm, why, I 865 00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:04.920 don't know. Let's see. I think that Punk has held 866 00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:11.119 up his World Heavyweight Championship duties well enough. I think 867 00:48:11.159 --> 00:48:13.880 that it just needs to shift over to someone else. 868 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:18.679 I think Romans should definitely get this one. I don't 869 00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:21.320 like that they were implying that this is now better 870 00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:23.760 than the WWE title. I don't think they needed to 871 00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:25.840 go there, you know, just to go back to some 872 00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:29.440 of the build for this. There were places they didn't 873 00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:34.000 need to go. But I do still think Romans should 874 00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:38.039 get the World Heavyweight Championship. And then you can like 875 00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:40.559 play into all sorts of stuff like with Jay Usso 876 00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:43.559 because he was kind of throwing his weight around when 877 00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:46.880 Roman was beating up Punk and everything. So I mean, 878 00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:50.360 there might be more interesting places to go with Roman 879 00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:53.719 as the new world heavyweight champion. All the same, if 880 00:48:53.800 --> 00:48:56.760 Punk Semo retains it, there can be many stories coming 881 00:48:56.800 --> 00:48:58.119 out of that too, But I'm gonna go. 882 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.719 I mean, I mean, I don't think I have any 883 00:49:03.079 --> 00:49:05.639 any objection to Roman going over at the same time, 884 00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:06.119 you know. 885 00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:06.800 Uh. 886 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:09.440 And if there's any if there's any time to lose 887 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:12.880 a world championship for Sam Punk, it would be WrestleMania. 888 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.960 If if he's gonna lose it, he better lose it 889 00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:17.960 to the grandest stage of the mall. 890 00:49:18.039 --> 00:49:22.639 So hey, it gets his actual the main event wish 891 00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:25.480 true this time last year he did it was the 892 00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:28.199 triple threat to end Night one.
