And here comes the news. WWE Backlash 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: has come and gone and San Juan Puerto Rico was 8 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 2: on fire for the pay per view. Will Puerto Rico 9 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: become part of the TV tour moving forward? Well, unless 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: they get another one point five probably not. WWE downs 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: Backlash twenty twenty three as highest grossing and most viewed 12 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: Backlash event in company history. Ae W has now confirmed 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: that All in two has sold sixty thousand tickets with 14 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: a seven point seven million dollar value, all without even 15 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 2: booking a single match, although we can guess a couple 16 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: of levelm Finally, the WWE has announced that there will 17 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: be a tournament to crown a new World Heavyweight Champion 18 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: and the finals will take place at Night of Champions 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: in Saudi Arabia on May twenty seventh. Because they paid 20 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: a lot more than the one point five Puerto Rico did, 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: and that is the news. Good evening and good luck. 22 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: All right, you guys, welcome to the show. Thanks to 23 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: Big Biff. He's awesome as always, and let's begin with 24 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 2: a little backlash recap. First things first, this pay per 25 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: view was friggin' awesome. The crowd in Puerto Rico was 26 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: so hot. I don't want to be a prisoner of 27 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 2: the moment and be like, man, that was the best 28 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: ww crowd ever. Because I still feel like Canada and 29 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: England are the most hype places because they never well 30 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: they don't never get it, but they don't get it 31 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: enough right, they don't get the wrestling up there enough. 32 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: But Puerto Rico had a similar vibe and the difference 33 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: was the passion's equal, right, but you just felt like 34 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: they care about wrestling in a similar fashion of the 35 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 2: Canadians because they both kind of they don't take credit 36 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 2: for it. Puerto Rico doesn't take credit for it, but 37 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: the wrestling there is unique different. Corey Graves talked about 38 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: the home of hardcore in his History lesson of the Week. 39 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: I love Corey Graves by the way. I think he 40 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: just does an excellent job. From the first day he 41 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: started all the way till now, I've always loved him. 42 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: And he got call the Titus sliding under the ring 43 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: at the forty Man Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia and 44 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: lost his shit, so that that endeared him to my heart, 45 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: my cold black heart. But the crowd here was insane, 46 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: the love that they gave these wrestlers, the love that 47 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: they gave their own. When Zelina Vega came in, it 48 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: was just it blew me away. The Carlito spot, the 49 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: Vega spot, like all this. They just showed so much love. 50 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: It was great to see Mexicans and Puerto Ricans treating 51 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: each other as equals and understanding that we're all in 52 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: this together. Remember, it's just it's this other culture that 53 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: has separated us, and we've accepted that. So I feel 54 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: like every generation, every new generation, cares a little bit 55 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: less about that stuff so long as you're cool, right, 56 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: And that's what this felt like. It was like, Yo, 57 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: we're all Latinos, this is awesome, let's rock and roll. 58 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: When I was coming up, y'all talk mad shit about 59 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: each other and that needs to stop. And I'm sure 60 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: you still do it in fun and jes but the 61 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: best of needs to stop. And I thought this was 62 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: a beautiful sort of congregation of Latinos to express their 63 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: love for something that everyone there you know, probably still 64 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: things is real. So I loved every minute of this show. 65 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: I thought it was fantastic. But we're going to start 66 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: with the world Women's World Champion over four hundred days, 67 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: she is now the one, the only Bianca bell Air, 68 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: the champ versus EO Sky from Damage Control. And let 69 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: me tell you right now, they burnt the house down 70 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: in the very first match these two women, and the 71 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: crowd is not equally responsible, but they played a huge 72 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: part in this match right away. And I don't know why, 73 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: I don't know for certain, but right away, the love 74 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: that they gave EO Sky proves what we've been saying 75 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: for a while. Like heels and babyfaces, the fans pick 76 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: who they like based on skill, mike skill, ring skill, 77 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: ability to stay in the moment, all that stuff your 78 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: social media game is it tight? Is a weak? All 79 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: that stuff They decide if you're if you're a heel 80 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: to them or a he or a babyface to them, 81 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: hero or a villain. And they embraced Eo at a 82 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: level that I haven't seen since she's been in I 83 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: thought I was Io's biggest fan. I'm I'm not even close. 84 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: I've spoken about her a million times on this podcast. 85 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: I love Eo Sky Io Surey from NXT and this 86 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,559 Speaker 2: crowd was so hyped for her. You would have thought 87 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: she had been given a six month storyline of her 88 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: climbing the mountain to earn this championship and had to 89 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: go through hell and back and she finally got the 90 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: match and here comes the bad guy, Bioncabella Air. Now 91 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 2: I won't say this, I'm not gonna say they were 92 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: more booze than cheers, but they decided who they were 93 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: rooting for, and it was Eo Sky Biancabella Air got 94 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 2: some got some cheers because you got to respect what 95 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: she's doing in the ring, because her work in there 96 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: is getting better and better. I think her mic work 97 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: kind of peaked, but that doesn't mean that's as good 98 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: as it's going to get. It just means she hasn't 99 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: been challenged with the right kind of promo or the 100 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: right story to take her to the next level. She's 101 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: most certainly an artist, though, and artists evolved, so long 102 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: as we are brought a new challenge, and I think 103 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: that's what she needs. But in the ring, her work's 104 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: super clean. Although I didn't think I would love the 105 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: match as much as I did, this was from Jump Street. 106 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: These girls owned the crowd. The crowd felt like they 107 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: were a part of the match. EO let them know 108 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: that their love was appreciated. But she didn't do it 109 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 2: in like a ah shucks kind of way. She did 110 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: it like, yeah, that's right, I'm badass and you know it. 111 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 2: So she maintained her heeled dignity. The crowd just wasn't 112 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 2: having it. They loved her and this girl. For those 113 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 2: of you who haven't watched wrestling, if you have the 114 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: Peacock app go on the replay right now. By the way, 115 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 2: this is my match of the week. My match of 116 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: the week Eo Sky versus the Champion Bianca bell Air. 117 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: Go on Peacock. It's the very first match of the 118 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 2: pay per view. You won't have to search or waste 119 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: any time or get frustrated trying to find it. It's 120 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 2: the very first match. Both women are phenomenal athletes. The 121 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: gymnastics that EO does, the aerial stuff that she does 122 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: is second to none there but for all you fellas 123 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: out there. They're both dropped dead gorgeous. For all you 124 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: mothers out there, They're not Barbie Doll. I have to 125 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: be perfect kind of figures. Like Bianca bell Air is 126 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: a friggin' athlete, y'all. She's not skinny. She's not fat, 127 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: but she's not skinny. She's jacked. She lifts, you could 128 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: tell she dead lifts, squats, the leg press, the leg extension, 129 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: the hamstring curl whatever. I don't do all these exercises, 130 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: so I'm kind of guessing. The calf raise, the calf 131 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 2: raise machine. She does all this stuff. She's super buff, 132 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: not like crazy buff, but you could tell she was 133 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: a college athlete. And then you got EO Sky, who's 134 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 2: also in great shape but doesn't have near the chiseled 135 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: physique that Bianca bel Air has. But she as the 136 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: smaller wrestler. The story she tells, in order to do damage, 137 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: she has to put herself and Horm's way and do 138 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: a lot of aerial stuff. You guys, if your longtime 139 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: listeners have heard me talk about Jeff Hardy and the 140 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: philosophy of how a Jeff Hardy match plays in a 141 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: win and a loss, is very similar he's going to 142 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: take a beating and he's going to do some crazy 143 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: stuff to give you one too, but it's gonna hurt 144 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: him as well. And EO is in that exact same category, 145 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: but her aerial work is and she does a lot 146 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 2: of it. She does this blind back layout, which is 147 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: basically a back flip where you keep your legs super straight, 148 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: and she's just trusting that her opponent's there and ready, 149 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: and it's so sick. She did it in this match, 150 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: and when she landed you can hear the impact. So 151 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 2: when people say it's fake, I go, yeah, I feel you. 152 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 2: It's choreographed. But they're taking like huge shots. I've seen 153 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: so many wrestlers with legit black eyes and broken noses 154 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 2: and busted teeth and real blood not from a razor 155 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 2: but from getting punched in the face, So that shit 156 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: is real. It's just the finishes that are choreographed and 157 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 2: the reason why they fight is fake. But there's nothing 158 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: vague about black eyes there. She landed so great on this, 159 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: It sounded great, it looked great. They gave the girls 160 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 2: a lot of time. EO injurers Bianco Bellair's shoulder at 161 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: one point, and they spent the rest of the match, 162 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: kind of using that as the story point in the match, 163 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: so you can kind of understand some of the psychology 164 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: there for new listeners and new fans. Every minute of it, 165 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: the crowd was going crazy. They would do their cheers 166 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: and booze on the back and forth shots and you 167 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 2: could tell it was very pro yo. But this was 168 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: a beautiful match. I would encourage everybody to go and 169 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: watch it. You could just tell both women had an 170 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: absolute blast doing it. Bianca might have been a little surprised, 171 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: but it could have been fake surprise and she could 172 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: have been enjoying the moment just as much. But great match. 173 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 2: Was my match of the week. Seth Rollins versus Omas, 174 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: this would have been Jeff Dye's match of the week. 175 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: I guarantee you he loves Omas. He loves the giant, 176 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: huge guys. If you're six nine, sixth now, he wouldn't 177 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: even give that six ' ten or over. He's going 178 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: to have big time love for you. He loves the 179 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: big guys. And you know that your boy loves Seth. 180 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 2: Freaking I'll dress how I want. I don't care what 181 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: Freddy says Rollins, but guess what Seth In Puerto Rico. 182 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 2: You came correct, sir. You dressed like a professional wrestler 183 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: and not like someone that I would see at a 184 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: comic convention. He came out in sweet wrestling pants. They 185 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: were like, I don't even know. It's like silver and black. 186 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: I couldn't tell what the design was, but they looked 187 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: super cool. And then he has this like leather black 188 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: leather jacket with some like black fur on it. So 189 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 2: he still got it a little bit of like the 190 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: what is it the style? The new style out there, 191 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 2: but he kept it contained, he kept it composed because 192 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: he was dealing with the Nigeria nightmare. I did not 193 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: think I was going to like this match. I was 194 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 2: almost dreading Jeff saying how much he loved it, because 195 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: he'll love it no matter what because his guy's in 196 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: the match. They have now done it twice in a 197 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: row with Omas. He has lost and still looked good 198 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: while losing. The first time was with Brock Lesner at WrestleMania. 199 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: I didn't think I would enjoy that match, but they 200 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 2: told a pretty quick, decent story and then income Seth 201 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: Rollins and the crowds cheer in the crowd got Seth 202 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 2: zass whip by the way they sang for so long, 203 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 2: Omas got tired of it and just blasted on Seth 204 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 2: Rollins before the match even started, while his eyes are 205 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 2: closed and he's just soaking up the love. And then 206 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 2: he's down on the ground looking up like, what the 207 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 2: hell you son of a bitch? Match hasn't even started yet, 208 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: and the rest are you good? I would have said no, 209 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: Seth Rawlins says, I'm good, takes off his cool jacket 210 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 2: that fit and looked like it was made for a man, 211 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: and started the damn match and he takes an absolute 212 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 2: whooping for I don't even know five minutes before he 213 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: even does a little bit of damage. Seth Rollins, of 214 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: course is going to carry the match. He's one of 215 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: the best wrestlers in the world. But he made omass 216 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: look so good. He made an iron claw look good. 217 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: I haven't seen an iron claw look good in over 218 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: twenty five years. I wasn't a big fan of the 219 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: of the Great Collie iron claw. No matter what the 220 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: guys did to sell, it just never looked or the 221 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 2: vice grip they called it for Great Collie, it never 222 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 2: looked as legit. Right. He would use two hands, that's 223 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: why they called it a vice grip and not an 224 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: iron claw, but this iron claw Man Seth made it 225 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: look great, O Musk credit to him too, Man. He 226 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: made it look good. It looked legit. It looked like 227 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: the old school Nintendo's regular first Nintendo Entertainment System Pro wrestling. 228 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 2: There was a guy but he had an iron claw 229 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: move and you could do it like thirty times in 230 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 2: a to your homies and then they'd just be on 231 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: the mat forever and they just like just hurry up 232 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 2: and pin me. You'd be like, nah, buddy, we're gonna 233 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 2: count how long you're down for. Hey, guys will get 234 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: so hot. You could do another guy luchador named Starman, 235 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: and he would do this backflip kick and you could 236 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: just it was down in a and you could do 237 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 2: it so fast. You just hit a fool like three 238 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 2: hundred times with it. He'd be down for like three 239 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: minutes straight and you just don't pin him. It was beautiful, Ah, 240 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: the old days, the eighties. This match was awesome. Seth 241 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 2: Rollins did a curb stomp or they just call it 242 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: the stomp. Did the stomp. He did two and Omas 243 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: kicked out what he did a frog splash Omoss kicked 244 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 2: out at one what deal with it? It took a 245 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,599 Speaker 2: full on stomp from I'm guessing I think it was 246 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: the top turn buckle and he finally gets the win. 247 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: Seth Rollins with the victory. Another loss for Omas, but 248 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 2: I will say this, he looked good. They made him 249 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: look good twice in a row and he lost. A 250 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: lot of people are gonna say, well, if you need 251 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: him to be legit a legit threat that, you know 252 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: he's got to. He's got to win some of these matches. Yeah, 253 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 2: but I don't think he's got to beat Brock friggin 254 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: Lesnar or Seth Friggan Rollins. You know what I'm saying. Like, 255 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: he took a couple losses. Now he could take a 256 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: step back and start beating some some mid card dudes 257 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: and then he makes his next run when he's more 258 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: ready and more prepared for the top dogs. It's okay 259 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: to'll lose to the top dogs. You guys are being 260 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: kind of crazy about this. Don't forget who the top 261 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: dogs are. Moving on? Uh. The United States Championship was 262 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: a triple threat match with Austin Theory as the champ, 263 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: Bobby Lashley and Bronson Reid certainly wasn't my favorite match 264 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: of the night, But I will say this, Bobby Lashley's 265 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: entrance is so it's so ridiculous. I don't mean that 266 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: in a bad way, Like he's he looks like a 267 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: Greek god and they tined the lights on him, and 268 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: he's like standing on a spin podium, so he looks 269 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: like a statue in the Vatican or some or some 270 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: shit like. It's just he looks exactly the same as 271 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: he did when he debuted in the WWE twenty years ago? 272 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: Was it twenty years ago? Is that how I'm getting old, y'all. 273 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to start getting that hymns. The hairline 274 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: starting to go getting old, y'all. I'm gonna have to 275 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: hems it up. I have to get on the testosterone 276 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 2: replacement and be fifty years old, just fready. Bobby Lashley 277 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: is an absolute monster that I will never look like, 278 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: and I will always wish that I did, even if 279 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: it was just I'm sure my joints couldn't handle it. 280 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: But if I could be buff just once, man, it 281 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: would be so nice. This match wasn't my favorite. I 282 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: don't like Bobby getting thrown out of the ring. But 283 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 2: I also don't want to see Bobby with his shoulders 284 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: on the mat taking the one two three, So I 285 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: guess they did it perfectly and I'm just bitching for 286 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 2: no reason. But it wasn't my favorite match. We're not 287 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: going to spend a lot of time talking about it. 288 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: Here we go, y'all, the SmackDown Women's Championship. The champion 289 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 2: Ria Ripley, having defeated Charlotte Flair, the Great, the great, 290 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: greatest female champion of all time, Charlotte Flair. I think 291 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: she already has the most title reigns of all women, 292 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: and soon we'll pass her father. Well, she was defeated 293 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 2: by the Australian Ria Ripley, who you know, mister Jeff 294 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 2: Dye and I love we love you, Ria Ripley. We 295 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: think you're awesome. But on this day I had to 296 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: root for Zelina Vega, where my cousins will call me 297 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: a disgrace to the race, because there felt like that 298 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: this was being of Puerto Rican descent, This was super 299 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: special to see someone who's far more Puerto Rican than 300 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 2: I am. Just a Puerto Rican. But as my loving 301 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: cousins used to say as well, but she is a 302 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: Puerto Rican girl, and to wrestle in front of an 303 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: arena of seventeen thousand Puerto Ricans who all love you, 304 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: and you come out and your wardrobe is basically the 305 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 2: Puerto Rican flag. You could see it right away. She 306 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: couldn't hold it together, like her eyes welled up with 307 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 2: tears like seanpainn and dead man walking right before they 308 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 2: kill him. And he wouldn't give you the tear because 309 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: he's such a sick actor. He like sucked it back 310 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 2: in somehow. But you saw the whole eye well up. 311 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: That was Zelena Vega in this moment, and she was 312 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: a dead man wagga because you had to face Soria 313 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: Ripley in the freaking ring, and Rihea's not losing to anyone. 314 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 2: Bianca will lose before before Rio Ripley does, for sure. 315 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 2: So Zelena comes in the crowd is just so hot, 316 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: so hot. It was also awesome seeing Ria Ripley with 317 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 2: an I'm your Mommy shirt in Puerto Rico. By the way, 318 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 2: that was just irony at its greatest. This was not 319 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 2: a long match. I think it was about ten to 320 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 2: twelve minutes. She got a couple good moves in there, 321 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 2: She got the six one nine with her knees instead 322 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 2: of with the feet, so that was kind of cool. 323 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 2: She did a nice eddie shimmy and then jumping knees 324 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 2: into Rhea's chest and then smashed her down on the ground. 325 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 2: But this was Ria's night. Ria is the champ for 326 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: a reason. She is the total package. She has another 327 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 2: girl who's not another Barbie doll. All you mother's out 328 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 2: there and for you girl, dad's out there. She's a 329 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 2: good role model for young strong women. She's a bigger girl. 330 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 2: I'm not saying she's fat, she's thick, she's in good shape. 331 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: This was Ria's night, not a back and forth match, 332 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: probably an eighty twenty match eighty Ria twenties Selena. But 333 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: it was the end of this match that was the 334 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: beautiful part. And she slams Alena down boom what two three, 335 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: and she got She got out of the ring so 336 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 2: quickly because she knew what this moment was going to be, 337 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: So kudos to the real life real Ripley, I don't 338 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: know your real name. She got out of her and 339 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 2: really fast and allowed Selena Vega to have this moment 340 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 2: with the crowd that could have lasted the rest of 341 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 2: the show. Selena eventually got out of there after I 342 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 2: thought it was almost too quick. I thought she could 343 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: have had another sixty seconds because the crowd wasn't getting 344 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: quieter and this, and then she finally broke down that 345 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 2: she couldn't. She's not look Champagne is Champagne for a reason. 346 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: Selena Vega is not quite at the Champagne level. And 347 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 2: this time she couldn't suck the tear back in. The 348 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: tear flowed and we love you, Zelena. You deserve that 349 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 2: moment you did. Everybody so proud. And it's weird to 350 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 2: say I'm proud of people that I'm not related to, 351 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 2: but I just felt a great deal of pride in 352 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 2: that last moment, even though she lost, like the love 353 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: that the crowd gave her it was. It was really 354 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: powerful and just a really nice moment in wrestling. Wasn't 355 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: the best match of the night, but it didn't matter 356 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: because the moment was the biggest moment of the night, 357 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: well second biggest, because the next match was a San 358 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 2: Juan street fight with Damian Priest professional wrestler. Right, that's 359 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 2: what he does. He fights versus Music, Sensation, Bad Bunny 360 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 2: or Tonight anyway, he was a good Bunny because he 361 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: was a good guy and Damian Priest was the bad guy. 362 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: This was a really good match. I don't know how 363 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: these celebs are doing it. They must be committed and 364 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: or incredibly just athletically gifted as well and just picked 365 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 2: a different a different career path to go down. I 366 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: don't know. I've heard a lot of people going who's 367 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 2: better Logan or Bad Bunny. I don't know. I don't 368 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 2: want to be a prisoner of the moment and say 369 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 2: bad Bunny because Logan Paul's moves look really really clean. 370 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 2: Logan also did the job and lost to Seth Rollins, 371 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 2: whereas Bad Bunny won, but the way he won was beautiful. 372 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 2: Was like every Puerto Rican but me came out to 373 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 2: help him. This match and the story they told was 374 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: definitely superior to the WrestleMania match between Logan and Seth 375 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 2: with the KSI interference, definitely a superior story. The match 376 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 2: itself was way better, way better, and the amount of 377 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: cameos they had from the LWO and Ray to Vega 378 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 2: took my man Carlito, who I used to write for 379 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: back in the day. I wrote him and his brother 380 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: named his brother Primo, because they were gonna give him 381 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: some stupid name, and I wrote their first storyline to 382 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 2: the Championship. I was the first thing that I didn't book. 383 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 2: I didn't book it, but I pitched it, got it. 384 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: Michael Freebert ps Hayes booked it, and I wrote it 385 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: according to his booking. But he came out and got 386 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: like a stone cold Steve Austin pop because that's his people. Man. 387 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 2: His father is like wow, his father's kind of like 388 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 2: my father in regards that we both are legacy kids 389 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: and had to follow in tremendous footsteps. His father was 390 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: the biggest wrestling promoter in Puerto Rico and wrestled I 391 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 2: think for Vince's dad and Vince at one point, but 392 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 2: he was huge. Carlos Cologne was his name. For those 393 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: who don't know, you can google the history on it. 394 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 2: You'll learn more about it than I know. But Carlito 395 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: is his son and had to walk in that shadow. 396 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say we bonded over that, but there was 397 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 2: a no because we weren't like bros. But there was 398 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 2: like a nod to one another because we both kind 399 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: of had similar weight on our shoulders back when back 400 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 2: when I worked there, But he came in. He had 401 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 2: two or three great moments in there, all three opportunities 402 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 2: opportunities he had, he killed him. The crowd was so 403 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 2: hyped and it helped lead Bad Bunny to the victory. 404 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 2: I don't want to like celebrities in wrestling, and I 405 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 2: think it's David Arquette's fault. I've since forgiven David as 406 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: I hope y'all forgive him too. I think he's contributed 407 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 2: enough goodwill now and I think if we're all honest 408 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 2: with ourselves and we were pitched becoming the world champion 409 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 2: in the moment, it would be damn hard to say no. 410 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 2: So I think he deserves forgiveness and a lot of latitude. 411 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 2: And since then he has done a lot of good 412 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 2: stuff for wrestling. I like David a lot. I'm just 413 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 2: kind of half playing with him here. Man. This match 414 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 2: was good. It was almost my match of the week. 415 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 2: It was almost my match of the week. A professional 416 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: wrestling match with a musician, a Grammy winning musician, Freddie 417 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 2: all Right, sorry, damn, a Grammy winning musician, and he 418 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: was in a professional wrestling match. And it wasn't like 419 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: a comedy match. Like Andy Kaufman or the Jackass guys. 420 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 2: It was legit and he won, and it was believable 421 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: the way he won. Damian Priest hurts his knee halfway 422 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 2: through the match. Bad Bunny takes advantage of it. That's 423 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 2: what hampers the match. Then he has to deal with 424 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: you know five, I have six other dudes that are 425 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 2: all there to help him. Granted he had two of 426 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: his own Damien Prisett, two of his own guys come 427 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 2: and try to help him at one point, but still 428 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 2: they made it to where Damien didn't look like shit 429 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 2: and Bad Bunny got to shine. You can't have you 430 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 2: can't have Zelina lose and Bad Bunny lose in the 431 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: same night. That would just why would you go to 432 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: Puerto Rico. They paid you one point five million. I 433 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 2: should have thought about this before I said they were 434 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 2: going to lose last week on the show. You can't 435 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 2: get one point five million dollars from a place and 436 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: then have all their guys lose. That leads us to 437 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 2: the main main event brock Listener versus Cody Rhodes, and 438 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: I am relieved and glad to say that my friend's 439 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 2: prediction of the Hard Time storyline with Cody Rhodes was incorrect. 440 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 2: Thank god, he got to look good, he got to 441 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 2: look strong. He didn't get to win with his finisher, 442 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 2: which protects Brock. It was bloody, which was good. I 443 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 2: was good. And I don't know if I don't know 444 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 2: if Cody knows he did this, but he did the 445 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 2: Santino Morella walk when he was at Did anybody see this? 446 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 2: Did anybody else see this? I think he was just 447 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 2: like pumping himself up and so he was pumping his 448 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: arms up and down like a like chew train. He 449 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 2: was out, they were outside of the ring and he's 450 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 2: walking over to the stairs and full on send. It 451 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 2: looked like Santino Morella. And there's no way he was 452 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: doing it as a tribute to Santino Morella. He just 453 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: did it. I was really glad to see Cody win. 454 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: I was really glad to see Cody look strong. I 455 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 2: love the new brock Lessener who doesn't have to win 456 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: all the time. It doesn't hurt Brock to lose. It 457 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 2: really doesn't hurt Brocklessener to lose. Everybody knows who the 458 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 2: hell he is and what the hell he could do 459 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 2: to anybody. He wants at any time, so I think 460 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 2: it only helps people out. It makes Cody look fantastic. 461 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 2: It helps prepare Cody for not the next chapter, because 462 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 2: I think he's not. I don't believe he's done with 463 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 2: Brock yet. They might do three matches like he did 464 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 2: with seth Rawlins. But it just prepares him and makes 465 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: him an even more credible opponent for Roman when I 466 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 2: think he eventually does chase that title down and get 467 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 2: to bring that home for his family, which is really cool. 468 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: This pay per view is amazing. All the wrestlers got love. 469 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 2: The show was fantastic. I don't know when we'll see 470 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 2: them there again. Tourism boards are are are tricky. When 471 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 2: I worked for the WWE, they weren't big on trying 472 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 2: to go to Puerto Rico period. I think they've gone 473 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 2: once as far as television goes since I since I 474 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 2: left the company, which was an oh nine, I don't remember, 475 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 2: maybe twenty ten, I don't know. So it's gonna be 476 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: tricky because you're not Puerto Rico is not the richest 477 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: territory on the planet. You know. They just suffered a 478 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 2: try tremendous natural catastrophe. It's not a wealthy place. The 479 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: Tourism Board paid one point five for this show. The 480 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 2: Saudi's paid upwards and above forty million for the shows 481 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 2: that they that they received there. It's a publicly traded company. 482 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 2: They're going to more than likely go where the money 483 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: is and you can't bring I don't believe it any 484 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: tourism board would bring the same showback every year. I 485 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: think they would try to diversify that and bring in 486 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 2: music sometimes you know, art shows that kind of you know, 487 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 2: especially in Puerto Rico. So I don't know if they 488 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: would spend that much money because that could be their 489 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 2: whole budget, you know what I mean. And the wwe 490 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: did them right, spoke about how beautiful it is there 491 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: and how wonderful the people are shout out to Corey 492 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: Graves again showed the people mad love and yeah, I 493 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 2: just I don't know. If I would love for it 494 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 2: to be a yearly thing. It would be cool if 495 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: Backlash had a home and that home was Puerto Rico, 496 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,479 Speaker 2: but that's I don't think that's feasible in the modern 497 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: business world. And if you ask me why, I tell 498 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 2: you I don't know. I just don't think it's feasible. 499 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: I think they're going to chase the money and when 500 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 2: people see these events do well meaning other countries tourism boards, 501 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 2: then they're going to offer more than one point five million, 502 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you might see, you know, backlash. 503 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: And I don't know Tim Buck too, because they gave 504 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 2: him four million dollars and beat everybody else's offer. So 505 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 2: so yeah, I hope they go back. I thought the 506 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: crowd definitely showed that they can sell out and that 507 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: they can show up, and they showed out when the 508 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: matches started, so hopefully that that counts for something. Don't 509 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 2: know how much it is when they go haha, already 510 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: got your money, but you never know. I wish them 511 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: the best. There's no hot tag for you guys this 512 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: week because Jeff's not here.
