So what do you think 175 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: about all this right now with WWE? 176 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's awesome how they've kept the 177 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 4: product going and I know people have complained it's not 178 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 4: the same without fans there, and then you know, AW 179 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 4: has their stars in the audience, and then WWE did 180 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 4: it with the NXT people and everything. I just think 181 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 4: it's great that no matter what anyone says, they have 182 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: been committed to staying on the air and to giving 183 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 4: us all a product that at least we can watch, 184 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 4: at least we can have some escape from the realities 185 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: of the world. We know everything that's going on, so 186 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 4: we don't have to say that, but it's just it's 187 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 4: like it always is, dude, it's the male soap opera. 188 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 4: But they've taken us out of what's happening in the 189 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 4: world now, so it takes it a step further. And 190 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 4: I actually applaud WWE and AW and every company that's 191 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: been safely putting on stuff for doing that and helping 192 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 4: us out right now. I mean, it's the same with 193 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 4: you know, if you're a NASCAR fan, NASCAR is doing 194 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 4: a bunch of races now, and we know hockey and 195 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 4: basketball and everything else, they're coming back as best they can. 196 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 4: I commend Wrestling for staying on and doing what they 197 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 4: can to keep on to keep us entertained and you 198 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 4: know they're being as safe as possible because there's more 199 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 4: contact with wrestling than any other sport except UFC, right, And. 200 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: You know, and that was the thing is we kind 201 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: of all discussed this of like what what is it 202 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: going to look like in an empty arena? And you know, 203 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: with WWE kind of starting it off, that kind of 204 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: gave AEW just that little edge of like, okay, what 205 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: can we do to do something better than WWE? Because 206 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: I mean they we all say it's not a win, 207 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: they say it's not a Wednesday Night War, but we 208 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: all know it's the Wednesday Night Wars with the next 209 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: Wednesday Night Wars. It's it's this modern era Wednesday Night War. 210 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: So you watch what AW is doing and it's like, okay, 211 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: NXT is like okay, let's put people in the crowd 212 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: and let's put up plexiglass. And you know, I think 213 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: AW did it right. And we've we've had this conversation 214 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: on the show of like putting the stars on there 215 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: that doesn't you know that you don't get much TV 216 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: time for AW. They put them on and let them 217 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: go at it like you have MJF and Sewn Spears 218 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: gambling on the side and MJF being you know, the 219 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: hill that he is against Cody in a match or 220 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: you know, and that's the one thing that they're doing right. 221 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: And you know, when this whole pandemic broke out, it 222 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: was like, you know, how's WrestleMania gonna hold? And that 223 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: was the big question on everybody's mind. 224 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 2: Mm hm. 225 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: And you know, I know we're a few weeks removed 226 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: from WrestleMania, but what what was your overall thoughts of WrestleMania. 227 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 4: I thought for what they had, I thought they did 228 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 4: a great job for you know, the the limitations of 229 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 4: the Performance Center there and also taking it outside and 230 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 4: doing something different with the Undertaker and AJ and with 231 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 4: John Cena and Bray White. I thought those two matches 232 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 4: really helped push it over the top. But for all 233 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 4: the other matches, don't want to take away from anyone. 234 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 4: I thought everybody did a spectacular job. And quite honestly, 235 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 4: I like the two nights of three hours each that 236 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 4: broke it up a lot because WrestleMania before, I mean 237 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 4: last year, we had a party, a watch party at 238 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 4: DC one on one. We were there from five pm 239 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 4: toll well after midnight, so it was nice having that 240 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 4: breakup in the in there. 241 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: It is an all day thing. It's it's you know, 242 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: I've went several times in WrestleMania and it's like you 243 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: get there at like noon or one o'clock and you're 244 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: there all day long and it's an all day event, 245 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: which you know, like you said, breaking it into two nights, 246 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: that's that's the perfect thing. Now will they do that? 247 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: You know, moving forward if if you know, as the 248 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: business aspect, you can make more money off of having 249 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: two nights of it. But you know, we'll kind of 250 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: see next year because it's in Hollywood, so. 251 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 4: Well, it's we'll see if it's even in Hollywood, you know, 252 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 4: right of what's going on with the stadium and everything. 253 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 4: I think it would be better, honestly if they did 254 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 4: break it down to two nights, maybe made it a 255 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 4: little smaller than what it usually is. I mean going 256 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 4: to a football stadium, you know, something like that. Seeing 257 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 4: the Grand Spectacle, it's pretty awesome, it really is, but 258 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 4: it is, like you said, exhausting going there and you 259 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 4: get there at noon one o'clock, you're there till forever 260 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 4: and you don't want to get up to eat or 261 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 4: use the bathroom because you paid all this money for 262 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 4: the ticket, maybe the two night thing is the better 263 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 4: way to go. 264 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you can kind of pick which night 265 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: you want to go depending on who you're a fan of. 266 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: That's the fun thing. But it's like you're there all 267 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: day long and you're just eating stadium food and you 268 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: know you've already spent so much money on tickets and 269 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: probably a plan, and then you're about to drop six 270 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: hundred dollars on food on two hot dogs and a beer, 271 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: so seriously, but yeah, so it was all good. And 272 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: the thing that I really liked what WrestleMania did is 273 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: with the cinematic thing, is that left it open to 274 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: where you can have these cinematic matches for you know, 275 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: somebody like an Undertaker who's kind of getting up there 276 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: in age and you know there's you know, there's a 277 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: little rust there, but you can finally get the match 278 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: that we've all wanted. You could get the Sting and 279 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: Undertaker match that kind of way. 280 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: And it's it's opened the door too with some NXT matches. 281 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 4: I just I remember watching last Weekend Adam Cole and 282 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 4: velveteen Dream. I thought that was great what they did 283 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 4: out in the parking lot, or or with Johnny Gargano 284 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 4: and Champa when they had the empty warehouse and those 285 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 4: two just. 286 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 2: Went at it. 287 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 4: It really does open the door for a lot of 288 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 4: different stuff and it's just a cool different way to 289 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 4: present wrestling which has been I mean, there's only so 290 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 4: many ways you could shoot, you know, the squared circle, right, 291 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 4: It's it's a box and you can only do a 292 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 4: couple different angles. But this brings out a different life 293 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 4: into it. And this might also bring in different fans 294 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 4: of like, oh, that's pretty cool how they can expand 295 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 4: these stories. 296 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: Yes, and you know, you look at you look at 297 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: like last week, you look at Takeover and the nostalgia. 298 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: We all were wondering where they going to bring back 299 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: the in your House set, and they brought it back 300 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: and it was awesome. And of course the ring doorbell 301 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: you get camera shots from that, which made it pretty cool. 302 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: But I really did like the back lot brawl match 303 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: with Cole and Velveteen Dream, I do think, and I 304 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: got a lot of trouble and a lot of heat 305 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 1: for this, but I said that Velveteen Dream entrance was 306 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: way better than Adam Cole's. 307 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's it's it's the dream. 308 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: I look, look, Adam Cole rolled in in a big truck, 309 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 4: which is cool, but we saw Stone Cold do that 310 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 4: every year or every day for five years, so. 311 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: Yes, something different. Rolling in a Lamborghini is pretty awesome. 312 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: And then dropping out of the Lamborghini looking like Meigan 313 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: like that was the best thing ever. And that's that 314 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: is the best thing about Velveteen Dream is because you 315 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: never know what he's gonna do. He had the Holgan, 316 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: the Hogan thing, the Rick Rude thing, and then now 317 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: he had Megan and we really thought that Velveteen Dream 318 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: was gonna win that match. 319 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah it should have. 320 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna say it should have been, 321 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 4: but how long Adam Cole has had the belt for 322 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 4: and got you know, hey, good for him. I love 323 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 4: Adam Cole, baby, but uh, it seemed like it was 324 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 4: time for him to give it to Velveteen and then 325 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 4: maybe for the era to move up or something. 326 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: Yes, And that's you know, and that's what we we've 327 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: we've discussed on the show is like, okay, what do 328 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: you do with with them? And it's like there's all 329 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: these rumors going around about Adam Cole's contract being up 330 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: this summer and now of course there's the rumors out 331 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: there that he signed a multi year deal you know 332 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: a few months back. And I don't think he's ever 333 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: going to leave WWE for a while because he's the 334 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: guy like Sean and Triple H have like groomed him 335 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: to be the next you know, Sean Michaels and you 336 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: could see why and it's like, okay, who does Adam 337 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: Cole drop it to?

Who like was phenomenal in 339 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: their match Sunday night, Like you know, is that it 340 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: or do you go the old route and go with 341 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: Adam Cole and Finn and then you know, create the 342 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: o C again. 343 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 2: I liked. 344 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 4: I liked how they had Scarlett come out on the 345 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: last NXT just at the end, just staring him down. 346 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 4: I think they could have done a little more with 347 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 4: Adam Cole and Dexter Loomis before they move on to 348 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 4: Carrying Cross. It's still very early for Carrying Cross. 349 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: I like him. I think he's going to be the 350 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: next huge star. 351 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 4: He's gonna be the next Finn Balor there at NXT 352 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 4: and WWE eventually a little too early though for them 353 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 4: to jump right into that should have given it some 354 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 4: more time, right. 355 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: And you know, I sit here and I've talked about 356 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: this before, you know, thinking of velveteen Dream and Dexter Limits, 357 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: Like if you did a story with those two, like 358 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: the mind games that both of them play would be phenomenal. 359 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 4: M Yeah, polar opposites too, Like they could not be 360 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 4: any more different characters, any more different people. I think 361 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 4: they're both hilarious at what they do. They're at the 362 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 4: top of their game, and the sky could have been 363 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 4: the limit for those two together. We'll see though, We'll 364 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 4: see what the plans are. 365 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it is an exciting time because you 366 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen. And of course now there's 367 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: the shakeups with with Paul Hayman getting taken away from 368 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: w for Monday Night Raw and he's just a TV 369 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: guy and Bruce Pritchard's taking over, And now what do 370 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: you kind of think about this, this this story. 371 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 4: I wonder, you know, Paul, we've heard over the year 372 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 4: he and Vince love and hate each other. 373 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: We know those stories from over the years. 374 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 4: I wonder what happened backstage that Vince is like, all right, 375 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 4: it's time for Paul to not be this guy again, 376 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 4: because this just happens every once in a while. Paul 377 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 4: ran SmackDown for a long time back in the day 378 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 4: and then got taken off. 379 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: So what was that there? 380 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 4: And is this going to be beneficial to having nothing 381 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 4: against Bruce Pritchard, nothing against Brother Love. Is it going 382 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 4: to be beneficial to have the same person running the 383 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 4: two different shows? Where I really wish they would do 384 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 4: as much as possible to separate SmackDown and Raw. I 385 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 4: just I don't like when they bring the crossovers, and 386 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 4: I get it, you only have so many people right now, 387 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 4: but do your absolute best to separate those two. Do 388 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 4: different camera angles, if you can do different table presentations. 389 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 4: I get there limited for what they have right now, 390 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 4: but there are different ways they could do things. I 391 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 4: just don't feel the same person running both shows. 392 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: Right And you know I was reading earlier before we 393 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: we started this that you know a lot of people 394 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: are kind of worried about Bruce Pritcher taking over because 395 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: him and Vince have that old school mentality and it's 396 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, what's going to happen with people that Paul 397 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: Hyman was extremely high on like the Street profits. Like, 398 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: you know, if where would they be if Paul wasn't there? 399 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: Would they have already called up to raw or they 400 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: still be on NXT? 401 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 2: Right? 402 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: They're I mean, they're a great example of two guys 403 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 4: that are funny, they're talented, they're just like they are 404 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 4: future future big stars. 405 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 2: And what's going to happen to them? 406 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 4: You can't you can't keep relying on Randy Orton and uh, 407 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 4: you know John Cena coming back every six months, Blacklizer. 408 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 4: You have to build towards the future. And that's one thing. 409 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 4: It's like, are they going to continue to do that? 410 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 4: I really hope so, because they're certainly doing it in NXT, 411 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 4: But then where's it going in WWE? 412 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: Right? And that's the thing is we've we've all talked 413 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: about it. It's like you look at all these great 414 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: people on NXT and then they get called up to 415 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: the roster and then it's kind of like, eh, what 416 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: are we gonna do with him? Like Shana Basler like 417 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: had this huge pop coming up and like huge potential 418 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: and then you know that squash match at WrestleMania and 419 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: then nothing. 420 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, she should have the night, Becky Lynch had to 421 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 4: leave and Oscar got the title. Shana Basler should have 422 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 4: been right out there choking her out immediately to destroy 423 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 4: that celebration and set up a feud right there. Yes, 424 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 4: and yet and yet, which what what's she doing? She's 425 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 4: I don't even know what SHANEA. Basler's doing right now. Nothing, 426 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 4: And that's sad. 427 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: And that and there's so much like she was great 428 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: in an XT and that's just kind of another reason 429 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: of you know, another showing of NXT knows what they're doing. 430 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: It's Triple H's it's his baby. He calls the shots 431 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: and then you bring them up and it's like, okay, Shana, 432 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: here's here's Shana. You bring this whole angle with her 433 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: and Becky her biting her, and I was like, are 434 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: they going to turn her into a vampire? Like yeah, 435 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: that was like what's going on with this? 436 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 4: That was just a it was a bad look to 437 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 4: debut her that way, like, great, she bit someone on 438 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 4: the neck, which was something we've never seen before. Okay, 439 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 4: that's cool, but she bit her on the neck like 440 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 4: a wolf, Like what are we doing? 441 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's not a Mike Tyson fight. No, but Shana, 442 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: there's so much potential with her, and it's like, Okay, 443 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: what do we do with her? And then it's like, 444 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: you know what, Oscar's got the belt, Like you said, 445 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: that would have been the perfect thing, but it's you know, 446 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: who are we gonna put against Oscar? Oh, let's throw 447 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: Nya Jacks out there, And I'm like, I really don't 448 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: like that. And then of course, you know they're saying 449 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: that after the fight with Oscar and Naya that Charlotte's 450 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: in the title reign. And you know, I like, I 451 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: love Charlotte, She's a great person. We've had her on 452 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: the show several times. I'm just kind of being a 453 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: wrestling fan and being completely honest, I'm just kind of 454 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: tired of seeing her thrown into the title picture every time. 455 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 4: Sure what they have, look love the Queen, I do. 456 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of hers and her work. But 457 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 4: they can ease back and they can let some other 458 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 4: women step up, Like I feel like the potential is 459 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: wasted with Ruby Riot and you know, now she's gone, 460 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 4: and she could have been She could have been someone 461 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 4: right out of the gate to challenge Osca if they 462 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 4: would have built her as a badass, but she keeps 463 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 4: you know, nothing against liv Morgan. But you lose to 464 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 4: Live Morgan three times in a row on TV, You're done. 465 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: Yes, And you know they did all that hyping up 466 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: for Live Morgan and that's kind of down the air. 467 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: And you know there's there's Dana Brooks, who you know, 468 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: who's a phenomenal athlete, and it's like, what are they 469 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: doing with her? And I mean, there's so many women 470 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: on the roster. They could easily throw in a picture 471 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: with Oscar, because Oscar will make people look good, just 472 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: like Charlotte and I get that. Like it's kind of 473 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: like the Roman range John scene. It's like, what do 474 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: we have? Who can we get in the title picture? 475 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: Let's just throw old reliable out there. 476 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 2: M hmm. Yeah. And they have the women's tag team titles, 477 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: which hey cool, Sasha and Bailey have them. Put them 478 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: on NXT. If you're gonna say that they're for every brand, 479 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 2: put them on every brand and shake things up that way. 480 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes, And for a while, you know, when when 481 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: Oscar had the tag team titles, they were wrestling on NXT, 482 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: but it was just kind of more of just a 483 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: squash match here and there, But you know, put it, 484 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: like you said, put it on every brand. I mean 485 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: the twenty four to seven title goes on every brand. 486 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: Let that thing go on NXT. I bet that would 487 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: be extremely entertaining, especially with our truth having the belt, 488 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: like put him in NXT, I mean gold right there. 489 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 4: I think it would be fun too. I know it's 490 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 4: it's never gonna happen with WWE.

And you had, you know, all three brands. 556 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: What I want to see that more like I would 557 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: like to see some NXT people because I mean, they're 558 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: all filming in Florida, so this is the time to 559 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: shine where you could put NXT on people in front 560 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: of people that don't normally watch it. And I get 561 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: like them putting Charlotte on NXT to try to build 562 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday Nights, but you know that's that's a different story. 563 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: But throw Adam Cole back into Monday Night and have 564 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: him you know whatever, or have him show up at 565 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: SmackDown and even though we've seen the match a million times, 566 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: have him confront Ajah'd be like, look, I'm the NXT champion, 567 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: you're the Intercontinental Champion. Let's just see what happens. 568 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 4: It'd be awesome if even if they had one of 569 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 4: the NXT titles defended here and there on a WWE 570 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 4: pay per view. I mean, why not, you know, why 571 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 4: why not with not just WrestleMania and not just with 572 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 4: Survivor series or Summer Slam, but do it at Hell 573 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 4: in a cell or battleground or something. 574 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: Yes, and you can easily do that, you know, especially 575 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: with this current climate that we're in now, with everybody 576 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: being there in Florida and you're taping stuff, just be 577 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: like Adam Cole shows up or velveteen Dream shows up somewhere, 578 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: or you know, I get like AJ shown up and 579 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: Raw or whatnot. That's cool and all, but like NXT 580 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: is like I guess the hot new girlfriend. And you know, 581 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: Raw and SmackDown are all reliable and they're always going 582 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: to be there.

We know that every fight in the 715 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 4: world is not an equal size fight, so why not 716 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 4: have that reflect reality? 717 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 2: Right? 718 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: And you know, do you talk about size?

It's 732 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 4: you have to build everyone up. But who is going 733 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 4: to be that next star? Is it Brian I don't know. 734 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 4: I don't know, if Brian Cage, I don't know if 735 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 4: it's if it's Brody. I mean, time will tell. 736 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, watching Brian an impact, I mean, 737 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: he's a great champion, so it would be a no 738 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: brainer to put the belt on him and you have 739 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: him with Test, but it's you know, it's like he 740 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: just got there and he just got a title shot? 741 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 2: Like it yet? 742 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 4: Or does does EC three come in and do it there? 743 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 4: You know, I mean, what what's going to happen? 744 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? And you know, does Cody ever get the title? 745 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: I know he's he's been there. And that's the thing 746 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: is all of us being critical wrestling fans, it was 747 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: like we knew Cody was never going to win the 748 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: title because it would just look weird that, Hey, you're 749 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: the vice president and you just gave yourself the belt, 750 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: which is why there's a lot of controversy for some 751 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: fans of him getting the C and T. 752 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 2: Title mm hmm. 753 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 4: But when when you're a public face of the company 754 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 4: like that in the ring and in the executive role, 755 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 4: it's you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. 756 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 4: I mean, well not even if you don't, because then 757 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 4: people are like, Okay, he didn't win it. 758 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 2: I get that. Damned if you do and damned if 759 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 2: you do. 760 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: Right. But the one thing, though, is if Cody has 761 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: a belt, he's going to make that thing the thing. 762 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: Like when he was in Ring of Honor, he made 763 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: the World heavyweight title a thing, and then he brought 764 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: out the ring and made that a big ord deal. 765 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: And you know, he when he won the NWA title 766 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: from all this, like he made that a big deal, 767 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: and you know it's it's it's cool to see him 768 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: giving people the opportunity though on TV like Private Party 769 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: getting you know, a shot at it this past Wednesday, 770 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: and him he'll make that thing. Like Lance Archer, we 771 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: all thought he was going to win the title. We 772 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: never thought it was going to be Cody. 773 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 4: Thought thought that Lance was going to be the guy. Nope, 774 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 4: Cody actually gets the one two three, all right, it's him. 775 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 4: But you know what we'll see, We'll see what Cody does. 776 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 4: And it's it's still very early. We're not even a 777 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 4: year into the AW full on game yet, so it's 778 00:35:55,239 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 4: still very early. They're still establishing themselves. And it's everybody 779 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 4: says as an alternative, I say, in addition to WWE, 780 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,479 Speaker 4: like watch WWE record AW or record NXT and watch 781 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 4: A you know, I mean, I'd love to know how 782 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 4: many people are watching both, because I bet it's a 783 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 4: lot more than people think. 784 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: Right, And you know, every week we see the ratings 785 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: and it's like AW, you know, beats them in the ratings, 786 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: but they don't show like, for example, I DVR and 787 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: I flip back and forth, but I DVR both of them, 788 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: and you know, after one is over the next day, 789 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: I'll go back and watch which one I didn't watch 790 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: live of course, and so ratings aren't showing that. 791 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, how many people watch AW and have NXT on 792 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 4: the network and they're like, well, I'll just watch this 793 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 4: tomorrow when it shows up Thursday night, It's no problem. 794 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: I'll just watch it then, right, And that's the thing 795 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: is prime example. Another thing is like SmackDown, Like I'm 796 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: not watching SmackDown on a Friday night because it's Friday night. 797 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: I kind of see stuff on social media, but it's DVR, 798 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 1: and then I'll just watch it on Saturday when I 799 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: have downtime, because you know, Friday night after being at 800 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: work all week, you don't want to just I can't 801 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: get into wrestling. I mean I can, but there's so 802 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: many other things you want to do on a Friday night. 803 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely no. 804 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 4: You look, life can get in the way sometimes, and 805 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 4: that's that's all of us. That's what we have DVRs 806 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 4: for now. That's why you have the Internet. You could 807 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 4: go back and watch everything. So how many people are 808 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 4: doing all of it?
