WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:02.640 It is time for the elimination chamber of preview and 2 00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.080 predictions and emails will get to those on the back 3 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.039 half of the show because there's a lot to talk about. 4 00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:10.160 There's a lot to get to, a lot to hear 5 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.839 from when it comes to your guys' opinion and your 6 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.800 take on what you think is going to happen tomorrow 7 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.839 night in Chicago with what should be a newsworthy show 8 00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:26.239 because they have no pl in March, there is nothing 9 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.359 to lean onto until WrestleMania, so they got to make 10 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:31.679 an impact. They have to make it now. I don't 11 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.799 think we'll see brock Lissener's opponent be revealed. That'll be 12 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.640 as I mentioned, maybe even at WrestleMania itself. It could 13 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.159 happen earlier, but they could string it out as well 14 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.719 as a part of a hook. So there's also news 15 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.600 going around certain things here that I just have to 16 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.399 get off my chest off the beginning because if I don't, 17 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.200 I'm going to be annoyed that I didn't talk about it. 18 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.079 Because I have the platform and I want to use it. 19 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.479 And the WrestleMania ticket price is thing that is still 20 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.520 apparently a concern to WWE, and that the ticket sales 21 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.319 are nowhere near what they were last year. I don't 22 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.239 know why they they are surprised by that, even lowering 23 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.359 the ticket prices, which I've advised that they do and 24 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.079 apparently they've done, and I don't know if they've stayed 25 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.200 that way. I haven't checked lately. But even if you 26 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.040 do that, the problem is it's that, yes, Vegas was 27 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.000 in they I'm sorry Wrestlming, he was in Vegas last year, 28 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.920 and that's a problem if you don't want fans and 29 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.879 the fans don't want to come back to Vegas. Maybe 30 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.439 they didn't enjoy it, Maybe they felt that they spent 31 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.359 too much money and they didn't want to go and 32 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.840 do the same thing again. So I think the venue 33 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.480 having a kind of a do over from last year 34 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.159 is partially to blame for these low ticket prices. Now 35 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.519 we don't know the numbers, but it's concerning enough for 36 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.840 the company to be publicly publicly concerned about it. And 37 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.120 I think the other part of it is fans realize, 38 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.840 just generally that they are being gouged and that last 39 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.760 year specifically to deliver and left one of the worst 40 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.879 tastes in our mouths as wrestling fans in decades and 41 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.039 that they felt they didn't get their money's worth. You 42 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.960 ever think about that and maybe give us some stars 43 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.639 and matches kind of ahead of time that we can 44 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.120 look forward to instead of a WrestleMania season that's so far. Yes, 45 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.000 in their defense, has been partially derailed by massive injuries. 46 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.680 But their favorite word pivot. We got to pivot. Well, 47 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.439 why don't you pivot your ass into a position that 48 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.719 actually gets fans interested in buying tickets? And I think 49 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.360 they're relying on just the brand of WrestleMania to sell 50 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.680 tickets and it has worked in the past, and WWE 51 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.919 is delivered now. When you look at the record ticket prices, 52 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:47.479 here's the thing. Every WrestleMania ticket prices, especially as of late, 53 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.639 are really reflections of the previous years WrestleMania's perceived success. 54 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.199 And when you look at WrestleMania forty generally considered one 55 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.800 of the best endings to WrestleMania in recent me The 56 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.960 WrestleMania forty one was then highlighted with record sales, record 57 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.080 gross attendance, everything you could every metric you could think 58 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:14.159 of to break, they broke at WrestleMania forty one in 59 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.199 Vegas last year which fans I think saw WrestleMania forty 60 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.520 went wow, the Rock showed up, Undertakers showed up. We 61 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.319 had a great long term story, have a payoff. It 62 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.680 left you feeling great, and fans are like, let's go, 63 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.680 I'm going to Vegas. And then fans go to Vegas 64 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.719 and they get a steaming pile of hot crap delivered 65 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.719 to their plate for the end of WrestleMania. Not the 66 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.680 whole show, no no, no, I mean WrestleMania had some 67 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.240 bright spots, particularly Night one's ending, which was awesome. 68 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:43.520 But when it. 69 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:49.879 Ends totally on a flat, just horrible finish, horrible, no excuse, 70 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.319 then fans are gonna go screw that. I'm not coming back. 71 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.000 And there's also only a subset of fans that can go, 72 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:59.039 that can afford to go, that have the time off 73 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.879 to go. And when you burn those fans like you 74 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.280 did last year, those fans are going to now not 75 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.000 show up this year. And the fans that maybe we're 76 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.280 considering going that stayed home last year are looking at 77 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.120 that going, h do I want to spend a bunch 78 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.479 of money to get screwed like that and have to 79 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:21.519 pay off this trip for a year. To potentially just 80 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.079 have a pile of dog shit delivered to me. 81 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:25.439 No. 82 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.720 So I think that this is a reflection of the 83 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:34.199 venue being run back as well as just the product's 84 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.399 not super hot, that WrestleMania feels a bit directionless. We 85 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.319 don't know the card. WrestleMania. The brand has sold as 86 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.439 many tickets as it's going to sell without knowing the card. 87 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.120 That happens every year, but this year it's seemingly a 88 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.720 lower amount. And you also don't have stars right now 89 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.160 to really push that forward. Yes, you have brock Lessner, 90 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.480 there's no Rock, there's no Austin, there's no Taker, very 91 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.480 very few of the Attitude era star remain. And you 92 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:07.839 also again left a sour taste in fan's mouth from 93 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.120 last year. So you put all that together, I'm not 94 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.560 surprised they don't have They have low ticket sales. They 95 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:18.199 deserve it. It's exactly what they deserve. This is the 96 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.959 appropriate response from fans. So I have about as much 97 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.759 sympathy for WWE as they do for us, and how 98 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.040 much respect they have for us. So there all right now, 99 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.000 before we get to my predictions, I do have another 100 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.720 note or two here that I saw come across my feed, 101 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.920 and one of them is jay Uso saying he's gonna 102 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.600 run it back in the elimination chamber if fans ask 103 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.959 for it, and saying, you know, the fans they pay 104 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:51.519 to be here, so I'm gonna do what they want 105 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.000 or whatever, you know. And he's like, oh, fans be 106 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.000 mad or whatever, you know. Whatever his you know, half 107 00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.720 assed English is that he likes to spew. Look, jay 108 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.600 Uso is a single star. It was successful, but not 109 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.000 as successful as many thought it could be. He reached 110 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.759 the top of the mountain, didn't work out, and they 111 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.560 kicked him back down. It happens. But the run it 112 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.800 back in the Survivor Series match the Wargames match was. 113 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.720 Horrible, horrible. 114 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.240 And also if he does it here, I mean, I 115 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.000 hope the fans boo the living shit out of him. 116 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.560 The fans should. I'm ready for Jauso to turn. I'm ready. 117 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:37.680 I'm ready for people to hate jay Uso. Now he's 118 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.319 an attag team so that softens the blow. But if 119 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.000 jay Uso in the chamber decides to run it back 120 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.720 or ask the fans if they should or he should, 121 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.480 I hope the fans and attendance boo him. Into oblivion. 122 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.519 So that's my that's my hope. I I know that 123 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.959 he's he knows, he's very aware. And anybody on Auntie, 124 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.600 any of the characters on TV, any of the wrestlers 125 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.399 or management, says that they don't really pay attention to 126 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.360 social media. They don't pay attention to the to the naysayers, 127 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.399 They don't pay attention to the negativity. They are lying 128 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.160 to you because they don't want to enable anybody to 129 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.800 start a firestorm to make their tummies hurt. So I 130 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.279 don't want to hear anyone. This is the most social 131 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:28.639 media conscious generation of all time, and organizations live and 132 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.639 breathe on social media, whether they want to say they 133 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.040 do or not. These are the people that support your organization. 134 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.000 This is across every platform for every organization. Right now, 135 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:45.000 you can and should voice your opinion, but don't listen 136 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:45.399 to anybody. 137 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:45.639 Listen. 138 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.040 I don't pay attention to the negativity. No, I want 139 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.079 you to hope that you that you that you believe 140 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:55.800 that I don't pay attention so you only say nice stuff, Well, 141 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.519 how do you know it's nice unless you read it? 142 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.879 So it's just not possible to filter out the negativity. 143 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.480 You have to see it and I don't want to 144 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.920 focus on it. Well, yeah, sure you don't, sure, sure 145 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.920 you don't. Uh so whatever, jauso. I hope he gets 146 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.639 booed through that the booze are so loud that the 147 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:18.879 sound waves pin him against the chamber and he can't 148 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.439 exit the pod. All right, So last thing and then 149 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.959 I'll get to the actual predictions on my end. And 150 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:34.399 this is actually this gets worse. So Jacob Fatu on 151 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.799 a recent podcast, let me, I'm going to try to 152 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.399 find the actual credit here to give it where it's due. Okay, 153 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:47.720 have the source. This is from the No Contest Wrestling podcast. 154 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.559 Jacobatu did an interview with them. I've never heard of them, 155 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.879 so I can't say whether they're good or bad. I 156 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.279 don't know, but credit to them. So they said that. 157 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.559 Jacobatus asked for his on fans who think it's dumb 158 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.840 when Jay runs it back in the middle of matches. 159 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.759 He says, the critics should shut the hell up and 160 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.200 just enjoy the show. He says, and this is Jacob 161 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.879 Batu says, quote. Enjoy the show man, Just shut the 162 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.840 hell up, just enjoy the show. Listen.

Whoever's complaining about Jay yeating, Man, you 168 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.519 used to yeat with him, you're watching, You're still yeating, 169 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.960 you're still watching. Just enjoy the show. I mean, just 170 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:42.080 just an absolute scholar of our time here speaking very 171 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:48.840 very eloquent. I'm just so impressed with his word choice 172 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.679 and the way that he formulates sentences and the way, 173 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.159 you know, he kind of brings it all full circle 174 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.960 and kind of goes you know, he's one of the 175 00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.240 forward thinkers of our time. 176 00:09:59.279 --> 00:09:59.919 You can just tell. 177 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:08.120 So, Jacob Fatu needs to shut his mouth all right now. 178 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.440 He is going to be backed by the company. He's 179 00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.960 backed by Triple H, who says this all the time. 180 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:17.440 Wrestlers are increasingly saying this more and more whenever they 181 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:21.200 have the chance to. The line is just enjoy the show. 182 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:26.559 Shut up and enjoy the show. Now. If you have 183 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.159 killing kids in the room here, I'm going to tell 184 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.799 you here's a warning. Okay, turn down the volume, put 185 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:36.360 your headphones on. Okay, you've had the chance, just trying 186 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.679 to give you a moment here. We're going to turn 187 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.039 this show a little bit, a little bit on its 188 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:47.279 side here, Jacob Fatu needs to shut the fuck up, Okay, 189 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:51.320 because and anybody in the company that truly believes this, 190 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.960 and maybe he I think he probably truly believes this. 191 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:57.240 I mean he said it one or two times in 192 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.720 his quote here being facetious, he said it like eight times. 193 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.480 They said the same thing eight times. But whatever, So, 194 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:12.559 as fans and as really a consumer of any product, 195 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.200 I don't care if it's pro wrestling. I don't care 196 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:19.159 if it's an electronic. You own an iPhone, a laptop, 197 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:27.720 a car, a desk, a pen, right, I don't care 198 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:34.679 what it is, A watch, a shirt, lawnmower. There are 199 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:39.639 companies that make these products, right, And when you have feedback, 200 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:42.600 do you think that the company is going to say, well, 201 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.519 don't don't talk to us, don't don't actually say anything 202 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.519 unless it's nice. Name another company that outwardly says this 203 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.799 to their own customer base. Can you name a single one? Now, 204 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.360 they may feel that internally, no company or person for 205 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.559 that matter, wants to and enjoys getting Negga to feedback 206 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:02.600 and you can say, oh, I like constructive criticism. No, 207 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.200 you don't shut the fuck up. Nobody does. You can 208 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.080 say you do, but you still rather would just get 209 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.000 flat out compliments. It's just human nature. 210 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.360 Okay. 211 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:18.200 So this narrative, for some reason, WWE feels that they 212 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.440 are holier than now, and then we must bend the 213 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:27.559 knee and never say anything negative unless it's unless it's 214 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:31.639 something that they prescribe, that they preapprove of, that we 215 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.679 must never say to anyone ever, particularly on a public 216 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.159 form like social media. We are foreboded from saying anything. 217 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:47.759 They really took the old adage, the thing that your 218 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.720 mom told you, your grandma told you when you were 219 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.799 like four years old, you have nothing nice to say, 220 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.440 don't say anything at all. They really took that the heart. 221 00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:00.960 Either that or WWE is breeding the softest entertainers in history, 222 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.519 and that they are. They're really enabling this because they're 223 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.360 hearing it from the top down, so they feel that 224 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:12.360 they can repeat it and they are. I am a 225 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:18.039 paying customer. You're a paying customer, guaranteed you are. You've 226 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.720 paid for WWE. If you're listening to this, there's a 227 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.200 one hundred percent chance that in some form of fashion. 228 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.879 At some point in your life, you have given your 229 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:30.360 money to WWE, whether it's through a subscription, a ticket, 230 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:36.759 a piece of merch, your time that's valuable you have. 231 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.200 You're giving your time right now because you love pro wrestling. 232 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.600 And when you have that company telling you to just 233 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:50.120 shut up and be quiet, how does that not enrage 234 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:55.759 you that they are they don't have the mental capacity to. 235 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.240 I guess well, they won't debate fans because it's not 236 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:04.360 what they do. But they don't have the I don't 237 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:09.960 even know what the word is, the temperament or the understanding, 238 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.720 or I'm not sure what it is. The respect. Maybe 239 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.480 respect is the word I'm looking for for their own 240 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.240 fans that are the ones, They're the reasons you're here. 241 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.360 They don't have respect enough for the people that criticize them, 242 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.519 which are fans still pouring money into the company, like 243 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:31.200 Jacob said very eloquently, to actually allow them to say anything. Now, 244 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.960 it's not that they forbid us or I mean, they 245 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.159 would love to, but they can't. This tells me that 246 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.759 they are super annoyed when we complain. And at the 247 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:45.440 same token, as he said, we also still continue to 248 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.840 pour money in yet we're complaining. Well, Jacob, two things 249 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:49.679 can be true at once. 250 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.679 Okay. 251 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:58.519 Firstly, you can love something and also criticize it. That's possible. 252 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:06.519 It is possible to love something and also and also 253 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:10.399 critique it while still pouring money into that thing that 254 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:17.320 you love. No, okay, name another product or service or 255 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:20.440 form of entertainment that's ever existed where fans or customers 256 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.440 didn't complain and yet still poured money in. It's not 257 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:30.000 that it's it's not mutually exclusive. See. That's the thing. 258 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.559 He thinks that while if we're complaining, we're still pouring 259 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.480 money in. Obviously you're If you're complaining, that means you're 260 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:43.440 watching him yet. Well no shit, okay, no shit, Yes 261 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:49.159 we're watching and we're complaining. How else would we have 262 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.840 got this knowledge? Did we just were we born with 263 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:59.159 the knowledge that yeating existed? Or perhaps we watched it 264 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.559 happen and then critiqued it and said, you know what, 265 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:03.279 this sucks? 266 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:05.679 No? I mean. 267 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.080 The other thing here is that fans are allowed to 268 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.759 change their mind. The company does it every day all 269 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:22.360 the time. Storylines change, people, change segments, change promos, change matches, 270 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:28.720 change marketing changes, WrestleMania plans, plee changes all the time. 271 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.960 People can change their minds. Happens every day, I promise you, 272 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.519 So that's also still possible to do, but we're not 273 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.039 allowed to. I guess according to Jay Us I'm sure 274 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:46.279 also believes this, and Jacob Fatu, who I'm never really 275 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.080 been a fan of, but this kind of solidifies it 276 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.039 for me. He can go fuck himself and anybody that 277 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.559 actually believes this, and especially if you're in the company 278 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.120 you work for the company, I'd give you that same prescription. 279 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:05.960 All right, This is just disrespect to fans and whatever 280 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.160 happened to the idea that any controversy is good controversy, right, 281 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.359 any there's no such thing as bad news, and there 282 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.920 is some truth to that, but we are now observing 283 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.720 the softest version of pro wrestlers we've ever seen in 284 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:26.400 our lives. You know that these people, everyone is tied 285 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:31.519 directly to social media. They're on it, probably more than 286 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:36.200 you realize seeing what fans say about them. Yes, some 287 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:40.680 of them are probably better than others of disregarding the negativity, 288 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.200 but you're gonna still see it. And I'm not saying 289 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:48.720 fans should should just go on and you know, brate 290 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.920 and belittle and personally attack. That's not what I'm saying. 291 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:57.359 I'm talking about just the product itself. If the product sucks. 292 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.160 Just like anything any organication has ever produced in the 293 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:06.559 history of humanity, whether it's a product or service or commodity, 294 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.640 you have the right, as a paying customer, or even 295 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.279 somebody that's not yet paid, that's a potential paying customer, 296 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:21.839 you have the right to speak your mind and you 297 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:23.839 have the right to say what you want. Now, again, 298 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:29.079 that doesn't mean that I am giving a complete open 299 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:34.039 ticket to again personally attack, threaten. No, that's stupid and 300 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:39.759 it's also against the law. But you should, you absolutely 301 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.799 should voice your opinion because you're paying your goddamn money 302 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:46.039 to these people who don't have enough respect for you 303 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.759 to say. You know, look, look, look, I know we 304 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:54.799 hear all the we hear the negativity. We understand you, 305 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.680 We hear you. You know it's not fun to read 306 00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.400 the comments, but look, we understand you. 307 00:18:59.440 --> 00:18:59.680 Guys. 308 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.799 You have a passion for this, you love this. You 309 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:03.240 have the right to tell us what you like and 310 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.559 don't like. And today it's just no, just shut up 311 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:15.039 and watch. Oh okay, I'm convinced he fucking morons. Yeah, 312 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:21.039 what a very well laid out argument. I'm totally convinced now, 313 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:27.519 thanks Jacob, and well put this. This man should be 314 00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:35.759 on campuses giving graduation speeches. His vocabulary is deep and vast. 315 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:44.960 I mean, listen, fucking moron. And again, he's a microcosm 316 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.400 of a larger belief. He's just the latest to open 317 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:53.240 his mouth and put his foot in it. I hope 318 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:55.240 the fans again boo him out of the building too. 319 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.000 I don't know how many are aware of this or 320 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.079 care about it as much as I do, but it 321 00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:04.359 should in you as a fan. It should insult you. 322 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:09.000 And it's also kind of a an attack on your 323 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.359 First Amendment right in a again a very superficial way 324 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.519 as an American if you care about that stuff. In 325 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.640 a way that's not very threatening, but it's also it's 326 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:21.519 telling you that they don't respect your right to say 327 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.400 what you want. And especially again, you're a paying customer. 328 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:29.240 You're giving these guys and gals your money and your time, 329 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.440 and they're telling you to just shut up and just 330 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:35.240 take whatever we're going to give you. If you don't 331 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:37.000 have anything nice to say, just be quiet. We don't 332 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:44.160 want you to hurt our tummies. Fuck that. Enjoy the show. 333 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:49.640 Anybody that tells you that, anybody in the company, especially 334 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:55.519 that tells you that, you proceed to give them a 335 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.480 couple of fingers on your hands, and you can you 336 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:04.920 know which one those are? Now, I'm being serious. That 337 00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:08.480 is so disrespectful. Let's just move on. Okay, I've spent 338 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:10.039 too much time on this, but I saw I'm like, 339 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:13.079 here we go again, like Triple H. Triple H just 340 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:16.359 said it before Jacoba two others have said it too. 341 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:18.559 Just enjoy the show. 342 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:22.960 All right, let's. 343 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.039 Continue, guys. I problem is we're gonna get on here. 344 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:30.880 Let's go to a patron. Actually, I'm sorry, my predictions. 345 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.119 I gotta go to my predictions and then I'll get 346 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.640 to a couple of patrons. I've got more emails than usual. 347 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:37.200 I don't know how many of we're gonna get through here, 348 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.720 but let's uh go to my predictions and the card 349 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:45.119 which I had pulled up and I was getting all 350 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:49.519 hot and heavy about Jacob FA two, so elimination Chamber. 351 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.359 I'm gonna go to WWE has their own predictions, by 352 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.680 the way, which is interesting. I didn't know WWN. I'm 353 00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:59.519 just behind the times. Maybe, but WWE has who is it? 354 00:21:59.559 --> 00:21:59.799 Tom? 355 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.960 Who was it? Pat McAfee, who does predictions on behalf 356 00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:12.119 of WWE? It's weird anyway, So we have let's start 357 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:21.279 with Becky Lynch versus aj Lee tough one. I'm gonna say, 358 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:27.519 excuse me that Becky Lynch probably retains here. And the 359 00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:36.799 reason is WWE typically likes to use Babyface's hometowns as 360 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.720 opportunities to get heat rather than opportunities to celebrate with 361 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:46.559 that hometown the Babyface's hometown. And also, we're this close 362 00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:50.599 to WrestleMania. The next pl is WrestleMania. Why would you 363 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:56.319 have a payoff of AJ winning at chamber knowing that 364 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.799 there's something here that's going to lead to WrestleMania. AJ 365 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:05.720 and generally babyfaces as a genre are more fun in 366 00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:09.599 the chase than they are the destination. So using that logic, 367 00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:12.119 I think Becky Lynch wins. Now, how does she win? 368 00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:15.599 How does she win? Well, there's a lot of ways 369 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:20.319 that she could cheat to win. For an object, kick 370 00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:25.599 below the belt won't work, but raking of the eyes, rolling, 371 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:29.200 pulling up the tights, somebody interferes on behalf of Becky 372 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:35.359 Lynch behind the referees back Becky Lynch retains I think 373 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.680 in one of those ways in a match that I 374 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.119 don't I don't know what the quality is going to be. 375 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:44.119 And at least we'll stop seeing let me just put 376 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:46.720 it in this lens. At least it'll be better than 377 00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:52.960 watching Becky Lynch having convulsions that she just can't control 378 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.799 when she's around aj Lee, and we won't have to 379 00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:00.160 watch the horrible acting of Becky Lynch and aj Lee 380 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.000 over the last couple of weeks. At least we'll have 381 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:05.200 a match here. Maybe Becky'll be able to break through 382 00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:09.599 that force field that's spent surrounding aj Lee the last 383 00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:11.759 couple of weeks and she can actually have a match 384 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.640 with her. So I'm worried about the actual quality of 385 00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.640 the match. I have to say the quality of the match, 386 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.039 which usually is not a concern of mine, does concern 387 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:25.680 me here. Aj Lee She's been in the ring, but 388 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:28.039 only what one or two times over the last six 389 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:31.400 months in the tag team capacity. She hasn't had an 390 00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:40.279 actual singles match in a decade, so the match quality 391 00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:43.160 is of concern. I wouldn't expect this to go more 392 00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:49.839 than twelve minutes tops, Becky Lynch wins see him Punk? 393 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.039 Finn Balor? Okay, I mean I don't even need to 394 00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:57.079 give you the who's gonna win? See him punk? If 395 00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:59.119 they want to shock the world, and boy, that would 396 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:02.519 shock the world have Finn Balor win. I wouldn't actually 397 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:03.680 be that crazy about it. 398 00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:04.720 I would come. 399 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:06.359 I mean I'd be on here going, oh my god, 400 00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:11.319 what and it would get the world talking. But is 401 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.720
