I love it. WrestleMania weekend 18 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: was huge. We were there for Saturday, which I believe 19 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: was the superior day to Sunday. What about you. Which 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: day did you think was better? You like me watched 21 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: Sunday on television and Saturday. At the live of it, 22 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: I was just explaining to our lovely producer, who has 23 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: a new wrestling named mac Daddy Alex Right, that I 24 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: think going with you to wrestling when we went to 25 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: aw and when we went to WrestleMania on Friday, there 26 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: are two of my favorite days ever. I'm like a 27 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: little kid. I was like, so, I was having fun. 28 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: I was running around and being silly, trying to make friends, 29 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: make people laugh. I couldn't believe they're giving away food 30 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: and drinking there. I was going this free whiskey and popcorn, 31 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: like this is the greatest. I was having a good time. 32 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: It was cool to sit with you. I don't know 33 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: if we're allowed to say the wrestlers that were in 34 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: our suite or not, but we had some some some 35 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: some homies came by to say hello and said Alexa 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: Bliss and Baron Corbyn there, so that's I was kind 37 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: of like star struck that they're there. There was some 38 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: cute women in the back. I happened to have one 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 1: of my buddies that was just happened to be get 40 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: come with someone else to the same suite. My point 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: is it was such a good day, but I felt 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: like I barely watched any of the wrestling. I almost 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: had to come home and like rewatch all of the 44 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: wrestling that was happening because I was like a little 45 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: kid in there just being like, this is such a 46 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: cool day, and I'm with Freddie and so the first 47 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: time I've ever gotten to really hang with Sarah, which 48 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: was really cool. And then also like, I love your kids, 49 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: so that was a fun part of it to watch 50 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: them watch wrestling. That was so funny. Yeah, you and 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: my daughter got into it during Sena and Austin theory. 52 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: I thought you guys were going to fistfight. I was glad. 53 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: I was so I didn't know that your daughter was 54 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: the funniest, funniest person a lot. She's a funny when 55 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: she's comfortable with people. She is very outgoing. When when 56 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: they're strangers, she can get tend to get a little shy. 57 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: But she knows you now, and she knows she can 58 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: like because you'll give it to her a little bit. 59 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: You'll give her the business a little bit with a 60 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: wink and a smile, and so she's like, oh, wait 61 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: a minute, he's given me the business. We must be cool. 62 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: And so even when I said Jeff's coming over, we're 63 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: gonna go. We're gonna go to wrestling, and she was like, wait, 64 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: Jeff Davis, that's the showrunner for my wife's show. She 65 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: was like, he likes wrestling. I go no, She goes, oh, 66 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: you made Jeff die and she got super excited. And 67 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: so when you guys were going, because she hates seeing us, 68 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: so she's gonna boo him. You were cheering seeing it 69 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: because that's what you're supposed No, I wasn't cheering seeing 70 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: I was booing seeing it just because she was. But 71 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: then when I started off, I think I start I 72 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: switched to just annoy her. Yeah, but she was very, 73 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: very funny. But I think that Night one wasn't as 74 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: good as Night Too. Tell me why we disagree, tell 75 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: me why, tell me why tomorrow. So I felt like 76 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: Night two had moments that people would talk about, whether 77 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: they were intentional or not. Right, she got a Helen 78 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: a cell, which is like a gimmicky thing, and I 79 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: can't wait to talk to you about that. I'd love 80 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: to hear what you think thought about that. Helen a salmatch, 81 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: but then also like Shane coming out, you know, that's 82 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: a we haven't seen him for a while, so whether 83 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: you like Shane or not, that is a big, oh 84 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: celebrity appearance or like a pro wrestler appearance. And then 85 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: he hurt his knee, so that's something people are talking about, like, oh, 86 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: you know, he popped his knee or whatever the um 87 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: in the first place, but yeah, oh yeah, I didn't 88 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: want him out there at all, but at least we 89 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: got some surprise appearance and then something to talk about, 90 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: because it was like like here comes the Muney and 91 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: then it's like there goes the Muney. He's out as 92 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: thirty second, about thirty seconds. But I just thought there 93 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: was so many more moments I think with Night two 94 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: is all I think. And if you look at the 95 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: two Cards, I think everyone knew that too. I think 96 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: everyone knew, like before it even happened, like that Night 97 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: two was going to be a bigger well not everyone, 98 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: because I disagree. I honestly thought, yeah, other than the 99 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: main event, which we'll get into, I thought Night one 100 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: was the superior night. I thought the matches were more fun. 101 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: I thought the right people won all the way down 102 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: the line basically, and night two I thought the wrong 103 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: people won sometimes and I just didn't like the vibe 104 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: as much. And so I guess it's weird to compare 105 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: the two days. Maybe we shouldn't be doing that, but 106 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: it's hard not to. But I wasn't a big fan 107 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: of the or. I didn't think I was gonna like 108 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: Brock and Omas, and then Brock made it okay. I 109 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute. He started off just like 110 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: laughing at his inability to affect Omas, and then halfway 111 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: through he was selling like hell, and all of a sudden, 112 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, they're not gonna know, 113 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: they're not gonna okay, thank god they didn't. All right, 114 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: Brock won. We're happy, We're good. But he really he 115 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: saved that that match for me. But other than that, 116 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: Helen the Cell was weird because I don't think Finn 117 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: Balor knew how strong the camera mics were, So if 118 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: you were there, I think it was better than if 119 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: you watched it on TV, because he did too much 120 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: of that, like bab and like my kids and wife 121 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: are laughing, like they're laughing bro and I hate that. 122 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: I hate when people think wrestling is goofy, and that's 123 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: not Finn's fault because he's not aware that it came 124 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: through so crystal clear on the camera mics um So, 125 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: I didn't love the match because of that. I loved Edge, 126 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: I loved the work that the two men did, but 127 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: that like that count chocolate stuff. Man, it took me 128 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: out of it. I think that's why they why why 129 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: the Demon lost is because he's like, kill the Demon. 130 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't ever want to do this again. Like if 131 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: we could just defeat the Demon, I don't ever have 132 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: to dress like this again, I don't have to do that. 133 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: I'm possessed. Also, do we need red and purple kendo sticks? 134 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: Do I need a purple table and red chairs? Like? 135 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: What was what was the significance of that? Was it 136 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: just like fruit and demon colors or what? Yeah, we 137 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: were talking about how wrestling didn't want to spend any 138 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: money on WrestleMania, but they spent some time spray painting 139 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: a table purple for no reason, Like they don't need 140 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: that's effort. That's elbow grease, not money. But they definitely 141 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: were a little skin delicious on the money. Although when 142 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: the philosophy and I know This was the philosophy was 143 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: they wanted it to be the most profitable WrestleMania of 144 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: all times, so it was cut as much cost as 145 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: possible and then by the way and then sell So 146 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: this was a great way for them to show just 147 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: how profitable the company can be. They had basically two sellouts. 148 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: They had twenty one million dollars in sales and over 149 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: eighty thousand people both nights. So it was a good 150 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: weekend for the WWE. It just was a really bad 151 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: weekend for Cody Rhodes and for everybody that invested their 152 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: time and energy in way his story, which is billed 153 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: as a Hollywood story to come to a finale in 154 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: Hollywood and supposedly have a Hollywood ending, and it was 155 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: the worst possible ending a movie could have. And I 156 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: include every single WWE film ever made. The Marine one 157 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: through twelve have all ended better than the end of 158 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes his night. I have no idea why they 159 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: put him through that story, why they let him make 160 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: that many promises, that many promises on camera and then 161 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: to not be able to fulfill any of them. I 162 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: don't know how it helps his character. I don't care 163 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: how many times solo, Sokoa comes in and cheats. I 164 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: don't know how fans believe in him as much as 165 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: they did. Again, I've heard people talk, well, maybe they'll 166 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: do it at MSG where his dad won in a 167 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: couple months, and it's like you're going to force it 168 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: and force feed the championship. Like that's what fans hate 169 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: is when there's like, we'll give him the title on 170 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: this date because of this. No, give him the title 171 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: when the story dictates the title should be given, not 172 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: when it's a good location. That's like when movies started 173 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: sucking was when they started pre selling territories because they're like, well, 174 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: Tom Cruise makes more money than Tom Hanks and Indiana, 175 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: so we're gonna go after Tom Cruise instead of Tom 176 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: Hanks and presell all the theaters in Indiana. It's like, 177 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: all right, Christopher Reeves warned everybody about this, basically got 178 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: blacklisted and then it was proved, right, So I hope 179 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: they're not doing that. I just don't know what you 180 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: do with Cody from here, Like, well, you do make 181 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: him the US champ. That's why he signed with the company. Yeah, right, 182 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: So I just don't I didn't know, man, and it 183 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: was kind of a downer at the end of There 184 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: was a weird way to end WrestleMania. I legit didn't 185 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: even like tune in for aftermath. It was one two 186 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: three thing and I was like, no, click, We're gonna 187 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: watch some anime with the boy. Like it was just 188 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: a weird downer ending. And I don't mind Fels winning 189 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: if the story dictates it. I keep going back to 190 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 1: like Cody's negotiation, like what must that have been to 191 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: get him to leave AW and go there? Was it 192 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: just hey, we're gonna put you in the main event 193 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: at WrestleMania. Or was it, hey man, we're gonna get 194 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: you the championship and here's the story to do it. 195 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: Or was it just hey man, I'm sick of AW. 196 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: I want to come back. I want to come back. 197 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: I've learned a lot. Let's see if we can work 198 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: out a good money deal and make everybody happy. If 199 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: it was one of the formers, and if it was 200 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: the championship story, then they did him wrong as hell. 201 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: If he knew this going in cool, then it's more 202 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: on him for the promos that he cut, because I mean, 203 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: and even his father said this. I remember his father 204 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: saying this. He said, everything you bring to the ring, 205 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: baby as a promise, everything you say to those people 206 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: as a promise, and baby faces can lie baby. And 207 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: so I'm sitting there, like because I wrote a promo 208 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: that he didn't like, and so I sat there and 209 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: I rewrote it and I brought it back to Dusty 210 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: and he's like, this is better. This is because not 211 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: gonna win the match, but he's gonna give it as 212 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: all babe. And he's like trying to help help me, right, 213 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: be a better wrestling writer because he liked my dialogue. Um. 214 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: So I've always subscribed to that philosophy, and I know 215 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: the company has as well, because I've heard other people 216 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: in the company say Dusty's version of that, or maybe 217 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: Dusty was saying their version. I don't know. Um, but 218 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: it was a very weird, weird finish it Sadly it 219 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: ends up being my worst of the week, Like I'll 220 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: hit you with that right now. I just thought they 221 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: really just debted that story. Maybe they're going straight to 222 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: Sammy Zane, although he looks pretty preoccupied with the match. 223 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: Wasn't your worst of the week, but the finish, the 224 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: story and the finish, No, they wrestled the hell out 225 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: of each other, the best wrestling of the entire weekend. 226 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: They just got the wrong finish and the wrong guy won. 227 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: Even though Romans the right guy, he's still like he 228 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: should have lost, Cody should have won. Then you can 229 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: do the Sammy Insane thing, and then you turn Cody heel. 230 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: You don't want to give him the promise. He doesn't 231 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: want to fulfill the promise as a heel. You got 232 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: to fulfill it as a baby face. Otherwise, what the 233 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: hell are you doing? If I really sit back and 234 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: think in my wrestling mind, or like, how you know, 235 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: we've watched wrestling in our whole lives. There's been guys 236 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: that have been in the company who have how have 237 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: you could say, quote unquote earned like a you know 238 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like Seth freaking Rollins, or you got 239 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: like a Bobby Lashley or a Drew McIntyre, or there's 240 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: so many people that have been at WDB. They've had 241 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: great storylines, they've had these things. They've been there so long, 242 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: they've worked so hard. Cody Rhodes hasn't even been in WWE, 243 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: hasn't been back in wb in a long time. You know, 244 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: I've seen the pushes they give hype, right, and so 245 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: there was a lot of hype surrounding Cody. Look at 246 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: the push they gave Logan Paul, you know what I mean, 247 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: Like he just said, like a little three month contract 248 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: or whatever it was. I think it's over now, by 249 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: the way. And so he just wanted to work the 250 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: Rihanna Super Bowl deal, right, like, let me sell my drink. 251 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: She had the powder pad, the makeup powder, and like 252 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: during the middle of her song, takes it out so 253 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: everyone can see her brand logo and boom powders the 254 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: face and bam, I'm pregnant and I'm singing again, and 255 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: and Logan comes out and he does his Prime thing right, 256 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: because that's what he wants. We love Prime. That's the 257 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: next star in WW Dude, Prime Prime for an intercontinental champion. 258 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: He's gonna take on Gunther. I heard he could be. 259 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: He could be as big as our truth. Dude. People 260 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: would love to see some primey hated so much. I 261 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: was so glad. I was so glad when he got 262 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: splashed by his best friend. Why also, why not make 263 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: that Logan or Jake Paul, like, because he should have 264 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: been Jake should should have been Jake. I think it 265 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: was just a prime deal for his drink company and 266 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: he's just trying to promote that, and he got paid 267 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: a ton of money. I actually heard how much he 268 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: got paid. I'm not gonna say, m Logan no, no, 269 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: no, no no, the Logan Paul deal, but he got paid 270 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: and he basically got paid to promote his own stuff. 271 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: So you can't be mad at the dude for hustling 272 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: it like that. You know, he made it worse. He 273 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: made his wrestling look crisp and clean. He lost, which 274 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: he should have done. He should have lost that match. 275 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: The right person won. Seth Freagan Rollins stopped dressing weird 276 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: bro Um and yeah, man, I loved when Primey got slammed, 277 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: although it should have been Jake Paul in there. I 278 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: guess though, if it's Jake Paul, then Logan has to 279 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: win because that's when Jake, like when the ref's not looking, 280 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: blasts on on Seth and then takes the mask off 281 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: and it's like, haha, it's Jake Paul and then he's outcold, 282 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: and Logan gets the win. So maybe it's better than 283 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't. But Primey, out of all the mascots in 284 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: the world. You're number two for me, right behind the Phoenix, Suns, 285 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: Gorilla whatever his name is. Gonna do that. You gotta 286 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: give Benny the Bull, the Philly Fanatic, you know all 287 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: of them. You actually know these guys. Then Prime Prime 288 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: is up? What about What about to chick toast crunch? 289 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: Guy didn't like that? What was that? Guy? Would you agree? 290 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: There were too many ads this WrestleMania, Like this was 291 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: the most like advertised WrestleMania I've ever seen in my life. 292 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: It was just so much a money, money everywhere, man, 293 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: money everywhere everywhere. Twenty one million in ticket sales. I 294 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: know I can get my taxes done at Turbo tax. 295 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: I know I don't need seven hundred reminders of it. 296 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: But now you really know, you know they're committed to 297 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: the game, and they're spending all their all the people 298 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: they insures money on ads for the Super Bowl and 299 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: for for WrestleMania, and WWE has done a good job 300 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: of making that the audience feel like they're a part 301 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: of the show. And I think that lends itself to 302 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: exactly what you're saying. They're like, no, we're a part 303 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: of this. We're gonna be on TV. You see me, 304 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: I was dressed like Hogan. Like that's always like a 305 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: big part of the signs what needs to be a 306 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: huge thing. Yeah, they cut back to like they do 307 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: video montages of people reacting to matches from twenty five 308 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: years ago, you know what I mean. Like that they've 309 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: made the fans a part of the show. They've done 310 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: a great job with that. Now that being said, here's 311 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: a little thing WB who doesn't want you to know? 312 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: That's why you come to wrestling with Freddie because we'll 313 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: give you. We'll tell you stuff that that maybe someone 314 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: won't want to. They are pumping in sound when you 315 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: watch that thing on television. So I actually I watched 316 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: Night two at my buddy's party and like, this is 317 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: another Vince thing you could hear like you would have 318 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: Core Grays being listen to the intensity of this crowd 319 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: or whatever. But like all they showed, like, um, the 320 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: end of that terrible tag match between all the girls 321 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: that Ronda Ross and China Basil, which was the word 322 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: to the week. I mean, that was the most embarrassing 323 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: wrestling match I've seen in a long time, especially for 324 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: the stage of WrestleMania. But anyways, and you see the 325 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: people in the crowd are just watching just you know, 326 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: they're not mad or anything, but they're just watching. But 327 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: then you're hearing it's like, oh, like it's like like 328 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: you think that there and everyone's mouth's closed. You're like, 329 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: where's this noise coming from? Feeding in sound and they're like, 330 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: listen to the intensity of the crowd. It's like, trust me, 331 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: we were there not doing that. They were doing that 332 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: on SmackDown all the way back when I worked there, 333 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: not for raw, but they would do it on SmackDown 334 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: big time. They would literally so that you knew who 335 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: to cheer for. They would have booze for the heels 336 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: and cheers for them and I'm just like, what that's 337 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: so corny. But all right, Well, even when we were there, 338 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: it's like every one hundred percent of the stadium was 339 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: loving the WrestleMania. I'm not saying they weren't cheering, but like, 340 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, just they were just tentively watching and cheering 341 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: when they when things happened, and booing when they didn't 342 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: like things. But if you watch, if you watch it 343 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: on the television, it's like just non top It feels 344 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: like playoff basic soccer games. It's like a it's like 345 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: a European soccer game where the crowd just like never 346 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: stop screaming. And that's not that was not the vibe. 347 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: And like you said, everyone was attentive, everyone was all in. 348 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: The crowd was hot, it was hyped. It's just they 349 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: decide when they cheer, right, not you, And that decision 350 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: is based off the work that the two people are 351 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: doing in the ring, or sometimes the eight people and 352 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: in their ring. But yeah, man, it was. That's always 353 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: been a strange thing to me. I don't know why 354 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: they still do it. It's not necessary. It's not helping 355 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: sell the brand. Or people are hearing cheering, that's why 356 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: they know it's good. No that people are going, why 357 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: are they cheering? Nothing's happening, Like that's how people's brains work. 358 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: They're watching something and they're hearing something that doesn't match, 359 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: and our brains telling us this is a lie. It's 360 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: just no one wants to believe someone would be that insecure, 361 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: that they would pump in fake crowd noise. But it's 362 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:08,239 Speaker 1: true there are people that insecure. I also don't know 363 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: why Bianca Belair beat Osica. I have not I haven't 364 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: seen Bianca get better since she won the title. I've 365 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: seen her stay at the level she's at, which is good, 366 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: but I feel like we should have seen more growth 367 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: from her by now. So I genuinely thought Oska would 368 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: win and be a placeholder for whatever hell they're going 369 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: to try to get over to beat Oska, because that's 370 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: how they use her, right, and I don't mean using 371 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: a bad way. She's a credible, amazing wrestler. She gets 372 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: all her stuff over, she makes her opponents look great. 373 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: She's willing to lose at this point in her career, 374 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 1: so she doesn't mind dropping a title, and she's still 375 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: Osca Osca, so because that's how they've used her in 376 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: the past. Right, she holds the belt for a little while, 377 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: then the other person comes in beats her, and that's 378 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: the person we really want to have the championship. So 379 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 1: that's how they they they they functioned with her, and 380 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: so I thought she was going to win to set 381 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: someone else up because I felt like their philosophy would 382 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: be Look, we've given Bianca a hell of a run, 383 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: and I don't know how much more we can do. 384 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: But then I saw her opening with all the little 385 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: kids doing the Bianca. Yeah, my daughter and I both 386 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: were like, oh gosh, can't lose now, very very so. 387 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: So I guess the right person won again. I just 388 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: would like to see her get to another level on 389 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: the microphone and that's yeah. I will say one one 390 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: criticism of of restuming, I don't even know if it's 391 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: a criticism more of an observation. There was only one 392 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: title change all those matches, and one title change yeah, 393 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: in the Tag Champs Tag Team Champs, So that's a 394 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: championship title change. As far as the singles titles, yeah, 395 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: like the IC stayed with Gunther. I thought I was 396 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: gonna hate that match. By the way, it might have 397 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: been my favorite match of both of both nights. These 398 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: guys beat the living crap out of each other. But 399 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, did they mike them 400 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: from inside their chest? Like like how how what does 401 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: that sound? I mean it was insane. Bro the shamous 402 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: one where he was just in the corner getting whooped 403 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: on by Gunther. I was like, oh my god, I've 404 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: never heard of chop that loud. And then Gunther and 405 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: Drew started going back and forth and I was like, 406 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: oh my god, those chops were so much louder than 407 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: the ones I just heard. And when Shamus had Shamus 408 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: had Macatire on the other side of the rope and 409 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: he's hitting him like that in front of the crowd. 410 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: Drew it appeared like just said all right enough and 411 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: like just kind of like slid down like himself. That 412 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: was like, He's like, I counted thirty and Shamus was 413 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: like and he's like, no, it's thirty, Lundy. This is 414 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: a lot. They got their worth. I'm dropping out of it, 415 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: like kind of He's like, yo, you stopped and started 416 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: my heart six times during this process. Please leave me alone. 417 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: I started to think those kind of little moments make 418 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: it seem more real, like him just being like like 419 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: lad as he just going enough, like I just whatever. 420 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: Or there was even a moment where um Roman did 421 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: something through the through the table where he was trying 422 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: to power bomb yeah man Cody, but then Cody was 423 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: able to just kind of stand up and kind of 424 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: reverse him into the other table. Their timing was a 425 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: little off, but it did make it look more real. 426 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: The timing being off made it seem like two guys 427 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: trying to fight each other. It made it look like 428 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: Cody tried to get the body drop the back body 429 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: drop and couldn't. And then he's like a buddy was 430 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: like my buddies like that looked clunky. And then we 431 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 1: were rewinded it and we're like, no, it actually kind 432 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: of looks more real this way, like like it is 433 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: what you would be doing if you're trying to Hey, 434 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: it's cool. I thought it looked great, man, they really, 435 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: I mean all the matches except the girls tag match 436 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: I thought did a good job met expectation or exceeded expectation. 437 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: I will say one thing, man, wrestlers no matches. My 438 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: daughter at one point asked Lexie how long how much 439 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: longer she thought the Riha Ripley Charlotte Flair match would 440 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: go because she really wanted Charlotte to win and she 441 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: was liking the match, and Lexy goes, I probably about 442 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: two minutes, and like one minute and fifty eight seconds later. 443 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: I looked over and I was like, Yo, how did 444 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: you do that? It's pretty sick. But as big time 445 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: Ria Ripley lovers on this show, yes, I know some 446 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: people were mad that Charlotte Flair lost the title, but 447 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: who would you have rather Riha get the title off 448 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: of That's why Charlotte got the belt back, to make 449 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: it credible for Ria to go over the most credible 450 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: champion arguably the most. You could say Becky's the most, 451 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,719 Speaker 1: but one of those girls for certain is and for 452 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: her to beat Flair like that now makes her the one, 453 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: which is what you and I have been saying she 454 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: should be all of last year, all of last year, 455 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: and I really thought they got it right and she's 456 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: gonna be champed for a long time. I'd love to 457 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: see Beth come out of retirement the way her man 458 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: came out of retirement, because she did. She did Beth 459 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: wrong at that other pay per view where she was 460 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: like going to, you know, basically kill her, and they 461 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: made Edge say I quit. That was how they beat 462 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: Edge and the I quit match she was going to 463 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: Concerto Beth. So I think now you get that payoff 464 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: where you let Beth come in and get one little 465 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: run at the belt. She loses, of course, and you 466 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: let Ria get that win as well, and that gives 467 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: you time to build up whatever baby face you want 468 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: to come after her. That's gonna fail ultimately because Ria 469 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: has to be champ, maybe not as long as as 470 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: as Roman but she needs a year long reign for sure. 471 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: I think Riah Ripley. I hope Riah Ripley holds the 472 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 1: belt for thousand days. Like she is so so like 473 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: we've always said, I don't know if we've talked about 474 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: on this podcast, but me and you have talked about 475 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: it that like Charlotte Flair is so good. She's athletic, 476 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: she's got like the gymnastic skills, she does high flying things. 477 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: She's so much stronger than ever on all the other girls. 478 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: Because like in with the men's division, it's like you'll 479 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: see like a big guy right and you'll be like, oh, 480 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: who would who could beat that guy? And then they 481 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: bring in another big guy. There's a lot of big guys. 482 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: Where it was with Charlotte it was just she's not 483 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: only big and strong and athletic, but she's the only 484 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: big and really strong and really athletic one. So she 485 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: just dominated the women's field. Ria Ripley's the first we've 486 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: seen that were like strong, big, great on the mic. Great, 487 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: she knows what she's doing, she's hanging with the guys. 488 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: She has a great look. Even though she's like for 489 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: like months, she beat up Dom every week on rests. 490 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: She's just still perfect person to have the belt, and 491 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: she's the perfect person to um. I hope that she 492 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: cares it for a long time, and I actually kind 493 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: of hope that she becomes a little more like a 494 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: face instead of heal because the it. I don't know, 495 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: I just I just think that she's I think people 496 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: are gonna cheer for her regardless, so she may end 497 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: up being one of those people that can be a 498 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: heel when she feels like it and still get cheered. 499 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: But I think they're definitely gonna bring sweet little baby 500 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,719 Speaker 1: faces up to try and take the title from her 501 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: that she can just chew up and spit out. Best 502 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: of the week, Jeff, what was your best of the week? 503 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: You already touched on it, But I loved the Almost 504 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: versus Brock listener. But we will we will disagree a 505 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: little because I love I love Almost. I think he's 506 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: so cool looking and that voice, like you could hear 507 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: him over all of the crowd. Like while he was 508 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: like taunting, he sounded like a like Shall Khan from 509 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: like Mortal kh But he's like he's like laughing and 510 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: like just such a deep cool and he looked cool 511 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: with the hood. MVPs got his back, but like everyone 512 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: just looks so small to him. They did the standoff, 513 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. And I love Brock, big Brock guy. 514 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: Always have been a big Brock guy since day of 515 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: baby Face. Brock dude, I love him so much. He 516 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: came out smiling and laughing, which was pretty interesting. You 517 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: never see him. I'm not I don't. I would hate 518 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: from Brock cstinger to hear this. I love Brock, but 519 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: I just wish almost would have won. I think it 520 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: could have been a nice way to be, like, here's 521 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: a new I hear you. Because Brock has nothing to 522 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: lose by losing that match. He can just kind of 523 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: like look up and smile and be like, Okay, you 524 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: got the best of me this time. Or you could 525 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: find a controversial way to like let almost win. Because 526 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: but whatever it could be is like yeah, that that 527 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: I would buy more if MVP interfered and something, you know, 528 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: spit whiskey in his face again and it hurt his 529 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: eyes and then almost wins. There some kind of trickery, 530 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: but I would I thought they protected him the best 531 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: they could and still have him lose because he did 532 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,719 Speaker 1: constantly unless it's a job or this almost guy just 533 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: keeps losing. Well, he's got he's green man, he doesn't 534 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: know how to work a match. He still has to grow, 535 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: So I think that's why they can't give him the 536 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: Humongo push because of that. My best of the week 537 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: was Ripley Flair. I loved this payoff. You and I 538 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: have been rooting for this girl for so long. They 539 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: had one suplex there that was just freaking insane. I 540 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: thought Charlotte was going to die, but it looked almost planned, 541 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 1: like she planned on doing that full on back not 542 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: flip but back layout to her stomach basically, And I 543 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: think it was just her hair. Is there's so much 544 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: hair that it looked like her head smashed into the mat. 545 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: But when I watched it again on the clip, it didn't. 546 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: She could did find but no, it didn't. But that 547 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: suplex was so scary to watch. But other than that, 548 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: I loved the story they told I really enjoyed the 549 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: match ID. I like the fact that she won. She 550 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: has the belt and it doesn't look like that belt's 551 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: going to go anywhere for a very long time. That said, 552 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: how do you feel? And we'll get ready to close 553 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: with this how do you feel about the sale of 554 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: WWE to Endeavor, a Hollywood company. I don't even know 555 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: what it means, Like, I don't know what could what 556 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: the possibilities are, like, Like what does a merger with 557 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: UFC mean? Are they just going to keep like a 558 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: division of already wrestling people to run it. That's more 559 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: media nonsense. You don't have to think of it like that, 560 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: Like they're not going to be operating as one entity. 561 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: Dana and Vince, first of all, hate hate one another. 562 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: They don't respect one another. All those quotes that Data 563 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: made there the exact opposite of what he said about 564 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: WWE and Vince McMahon for the last twenty years. It's 565 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: all on YouTube, everything he's ever said, everything Colin Cowherd 566 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: ever said. And now he loves it too. He's repped 567 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: by Endeavor and that's who got him the tickets to 568 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: sit about it. So now he says, oh, but it's 569 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: such a great show, Like he called the fans of 570 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: WWE mouth breathers. All right, he does not respect wrestling 571 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: or you, So screw these guys. They've always talked trash. 572 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: Don't give them love now, y'all. They're just doing the 573 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: company line bs, but these will be separate, separately run companies. 574 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: Endeavor has much more than just the UFC they're buying. 575 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: I want to know who their bank is because apparently 576 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: they're just buying everything on credit because they ain't no 577 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: way they got ten billion dollars on it, like that's crazy. 578 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: But they'll be operated separately. UFC has always had opportunities 579 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: to work with WWE ever since Ken Shamrock back in 580 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: the day they tried to get a chail sonnin I 581 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: know they tried to get Jail. I think I was 582 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: actually there when they went after jail if they tried 583 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: to get Bob Sapp. I think they actually may have 584 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: gotten Bob Sapp for a week and then realized he 585 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: couldn't wrestle and send him back to Japan. So they'll 586 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: be opportunities there for guys that are retiring, maybe a 587 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: few a few more, but they'll definitely be run completely separate. 588 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: My only thing is who did Endeavor agree is going 589 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: to run the company, because if it's Vince, then I 590 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: don't know what that does to Hunter, and Hunter's been 591 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: the driving force behind the improvement of this. And that's 592 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: not say Vince doesn't have good ideas, all right. The 593 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: Bloodline was Vince McMahon's idea. That was his, all right, 594 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: and I think that's public. I think other people have 595 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 1: mentioned that before. This isn't like breaking news. So he 596 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: has good ideas. But the wrestlers made the Bloodline work. 597 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: The talent is what made that work. Paul Hayman helping 598 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: out with that is what made that work. His ideas 599 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: can work, but some of them you end up with 600 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: the carrying cross and the and the sex maniac leather 601 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: gladiator get up, you know what I mean, Like, that's 602 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: not cool, that's whack that. Nobody wants to look at that. 603 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to see that. So it's whoever's gonna whoever 604 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: they agreed, is gonna run it. And if it's Vince, 605 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: look I love Vince. He was good to me. But 606 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: him and Kevin have gone the wrong way so many 607 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: times on wrestlers, not because of any other choice outside 608 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: of pettiness. Like it's not that, oh, this wrestler can't 609 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: work or this wrestler can't talk. It's nah, they didn't 610 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: want to play ball this time, so screw them next time. 611 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: And it's like, well, all right, you just deddit four 612 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: other stories because all the other wrestlers that were wrestling 613 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: that guy had stories. And now we're starting over again. Yes, 614 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: yes you are. Okay, you're not even denying it. Awesome, Cool, 615 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: let's go back to work. I mean that's how it 616 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: was when I was there. So yeah, man, So I 617 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I hope, I hope it 618 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: was just a temporary thing. And Vince came in to 619 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: make sure they got the most out of it, because 620 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: before Vince was there, people are saying it was gonna 621 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: sell for like four billion, and Vince must have heard 622 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: that and been like, screw that, I'm coming back. I'll 623 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: show you how to negotiate, and then he gets this 624 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: huge deal. Hopefully he trusts Hunter enough to leave Hunter 625 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: in charge, because I really feel like Hunter's got a 626 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: great eye for talent. He's got a great eye for stories. 627 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: He knows who can pull things off and who can't. 628 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying the guy's perfect by any stretch of 629 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: the imagination, but almost every, if not every disagreement he 630 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: and I had when I worked there, in hindsight, looking back, 631 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: he was right and I was wrong. I got no 632 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: issue saying that, like I ended up learning a lot 633 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: when I left the company, seeing looking back at the 634 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: choices that were made while I was there, and the 635 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: ones he supported and the ones he didn't. And like 636 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: I said, if not every time, maybe I got one 637 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: where I was like ha ha, I'm right, but I 638 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: can't remember it. So it was definitely he was right. 639 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,719 Speaker 1: More so, I hope he's still in charge, man, But 640 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: you never know. I mean, wrestling ain't going anywhere. We 641 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: know that they just put ten billion into it. I 642 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be a good thing or 643 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: a bad thing. But at least we won't have to 644 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: hear about it, you know, maybe selling, maybe not selling. 645 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll have like a little bit of a consistency now, 646 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: because I feel like there was a lot of question 647 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: marks up in the air the whole time, like oh, 648 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: is he gonna sell it? The sad he's gonna buy it? 649 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: Like what does this mean? And yeah, also maybe now 650 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: we'll have some like some consistency on whether Vince is 651 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: there or is there. It's been a guessing match since 652 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: he's left, like when he when will he come back? 653 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: Will he ever come back? Is he? You know, it's 654 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: like a kind of a lot of I don't know. 655 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: There might be some kind of structure now which will 656 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: be interesting. I think you said it best last year, 657 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: and I wasn't sold on this until he came back 658 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: and you were, you know, is he gonna leave? Is 659 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: he not? You were like, look, he's gonna leave, but 660 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna come back, and he's gonna die in guerrilla position, 661 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: like he's never he's never gonna quit. It's one of 662 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: those things where like, was it you that was saying, 663 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: like the old school football coach who retired and like 664 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: died a day later because Jenn st Yeah, that was 665 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: like a broken heart because he only knows football. If 666 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: Finn doesn't get in wrestling, he's just wandering the streets 667 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: going like what he no outside world, growing thin little 668 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: pencil thin villain mustaches from the nineteen forties, like he's 669 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: going against Humphrey Bogart in a movie like listen here, Humphrey, 670 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: You're not getting the girl this time, and Humphrey Booger's like, yeah, 671 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: I we'll see about that. It's time for a brand 672 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: new segment, my friend the hot tag. All right, guys, 673 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: we've talked about it on this podcast before, me and 674 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: Freddie have said it multiple times, and I've said it 675 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: off camera thousands of times. These Japanese wrestlers, the Asian 676 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: wrestlers need more respect in our business. Okay, listen, they're great, 677 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: they're talented. Are you setting me up for a No? 678 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: This is real. This is a real hot tag. But 679 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: I think that that's why I made it the first 680 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: one of season three. I know how important mic work is. 681 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 1: I'm always defending it. I'm saying, listen, I actually like someone. 682 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: If they're good enough on the mic, then I don't 683 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: even care if they make a mess of the ring. 684 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: I was a huge Enzo Amor fan because guess what, 685 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: the dudes got good mic work. Here's the thing. That's 686 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 1: why shinsk Naka Mora is basically just floating around the roster, 687 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: and why they're not putting the belt for longer than 688 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: a month and a half on Oscar is because they're 689 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: not getting they're not doing the mic work. We teach 690 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: them one word of English and then they shout it 691 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: very strangely. It feels weird. I get it. But maybe 692 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: set them up, Maybe give them some love, give them 693 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: a Paul Hayman, give them a manager that they can 694 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: just rant in their native language, and then the manager 695 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: takes charge, says what they says, and does whatever. We 696 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 1: need to find a way to showcase and make these 697 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: Asian wrestlers giant stars like they should be in wrestling, 698 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: that's my find a way. I freaking love your hot tag, 699 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,879 Speaker 1: And even though the ref wants me out of the ring, 700 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm not getting out of the ring. You and I 701 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: are doing a combo move to this guy because your 702 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: tag was so hot. I couldn't agree more. How crazy 703 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: would it be if the bloodline broke up and Paul 704 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: Hayman's as character as character said, you know what I'm 705 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna give my services to every Japanese wrestler 706 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: on the roster, and then we all just assumed that 707 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: Paul speaks fluent Japanese and he just translates even though 708 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't right, like the character wouldn't, and he wouldn't. 709 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: He'd be like, here's what Shinseka just said, So now 710 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna understand pain in a whole new way and 711 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: just break down whatever Paul wants to say because he's money, 712 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 1: And then Shinzga just be like, yeah, you damn right, 713 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: and then go have an amazing match and kick the 714 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: crap out of everybody. It's worth it because they're so 715 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 1: so good there, I would arguably superior to the other 716 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 1: wrestlers in many ways. They just don't have the mic work. 717 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 1: So all of us in the audience are going, h 718 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: what is EOS guy saying? So like, why aren't we 719 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: trying to find a way to make them as to 720 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: make them shine as brightly as as they should?
