Speaker 2: There's a lot. Yeah, actually yeah.

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 4: Then I went to New York City on Sunday night.

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 4: I was supposed to tape a show, but then because

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: of what's going on in Iran, they canceled the show

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,480

00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,400

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: Man, we got some eighty degrees last week, y'all.

53
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: It was so lovely.

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: It's going to be almost your boys birthday, buddy, So

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: almost your boys fiftieth birthday coming up March eighth. So

56
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: everybody better wish me happy birthday out there, and if

57
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: you don't, will We got an elimination chamber came in

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: the United Center the world fa, not world, but the

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: country famous United Center in Chicago, Illinois. That's the home

60
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: of CM punk. So that was the easiest match in

61
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: the world to predict. Since Vince McMahon's no longer running

62
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: the company. He did not like CM punk. He thought

63
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: he was a scrub like he literally he didn't even

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: know that. He wasn't a good fighter in real life.

65
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: He goes, God, damn, he might be able to beat

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: the shit out everyone on the roster, but he doesn't

67
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: look like it. And we'd be in there and we

68
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: were pushing punk hardback then, and we just didn't get

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: what he didn't see. And he went to the USC

70
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: and got beat up, and everybody was like, oh, maybe

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: Vince was right changed up, but in his hometown, he

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: ain't gonna lose, not under Triple H's watchful eye. But

73
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: we had the premium live event. See how I got

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: that right? Everybody?

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: What? OSCA? What got that right too? That's right?

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: And this is the final stop before WrestleMania, so you

77
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: knew there's gonna be a lot of shots of the sign,

78
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: people pointing at it, people looking at it way too

79
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: many times. Don't have to do that, every single wrestler

80
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: have to do that. Less is more, in my personal opinion,

81
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: you don't do it fifty times in really cool movies,

82
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: so you don't have to do it fifty times on

83
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: a really cool wrestling show.

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: They did.

85
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: So let's start with the only match that was good,

86
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: the women's elimination Chamber match. This is the match that's

87
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: going to determine who gets to face Jade Friggin' car

88
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: Gil the best abs and biceps and shoulders and everything

89
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: else in the business. Boy, and whoever is gonna win,

90
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: I think is probably gonna get the dubs. So it

91
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: was gonna be Tiffany Stratton area. I felt like at

92
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, and I think they were

93
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: either putting it back on Tiffany because I think she

94
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: only lost because she got hurt, or Ria, because Ria

95
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: should have the belt twenty four hours a day, three

96
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: or sixty five days a year. That's just favorite wrestler,

97
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: favorite female wrestler. His favorite wrestler is hurt. Right now,

98
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: we got a really cool match. Alexa Bliss was in

99
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: there to kind of continue the storyline with the Kubuoki Warriors.

100
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: So she got missed by Oska two times in a row,

101
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: and then she took She took the fall. She was

102
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: the first one out of there. She did her twisted

103
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: Bliss off the top of the cage. That was pretty cool.

104
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 1: I like when people do dangerous shit off of high stuff.

105
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: And then we got we got Tiffany Stratton bleeding, We

106
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: got blood, and I think every match it was it

107
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: was almost a lot of blood. You a lot of

108
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: mouth blood, a lot of mouth blood. People were getting

109
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: there the hard way, right.

110
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: That means.

111
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: They're not doing it on purpose. No no, no, no,

112
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: no no. Everybody was bleeding and I respect it. I

113
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: like the blood. I used to get squeamish and aew

114
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: like converted me into this evil bastard and go, I bleed.

115
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 2: For your art. If you love it, you'll bleed.

116
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: But anyway, this was a really, really good match. I

117
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: thought Tiffany Stratton kind of outshined everybody. She took some

118
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: serious beatings, she did some serious cool shit. Took a

119
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: huge bump at the end of the match into a

120
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: chamber while doing her finisher, which is this back moon

121
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: salt backflip if you don't know what a moon salt

122
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: is off the top rope and Re originally just pushed

123
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: her right at the top and smashed her fucking face

124
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: into the steel into the steel chamber again and she

125
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: fell hard. Took the loss, and Ria Ripley gets the

126
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: win as she should. She's going to WrestleMania. Jeff, did

127
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: you like the match as much as I did? And

128
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: do you agree with where like the stories are going?

129
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: Like?

130
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I think it's Kabuki Warriors and Charlotte and Alexa for

131
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: a little while until Charlotte and a Lexi break up.

132
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: I'm terrible at predicting those sort of things, like where

133
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 4: this is going to head. I was super disappointed with

134
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: Elimination Chamber as a whole in its entirety, I'm not

135
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: that jazzed going into WrestleMania as a customer consumer, as a.

136
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: The ww universe, I'm not that.

137
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: I'm not that excited about Wrestlemanian where it's heading coming

138
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: out of Elimination Chamber. That being said, this was the

139
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 4: best match or the best part of the kl E.

140
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: So so the girls brought it.

141
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 4: The match had good moments, some moments we've seen before,

142
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 4: but for the first time in a female elimination chamber.

143
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: Remember so that our inn elimination chamber.

144
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: It's hard to say this was the highlight of the

145
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: pl E. Yeah, and they opened with it. So the

146
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: rest of the show is like I was excited after

147
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: the map, going this.

148
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: Is gonna be good.

149
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's because of the injuries that we

150
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: aren't that excited for the WrestleMania storylines.

151
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: I wonder if it was.

152
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: Meant to be Bronson Reed or bron Breaker, and how

153
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: much more we'd be enjoying the storyline. So I wonder

154
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: if it's if it's the injury bug's fault or if

155
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: there's something in creative that we're not We're not digging.

156
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: They have to shift so hard when someone gets hurt, right, Like,

157
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: it's like they had to end that mass storyline really

158
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: in a really weird way, the mass Man's storyline. So

159
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: that didn't work at all. It's cool to have seth

160
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: rollins back, but it just didn't. It just didn't click.

161
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: And then there's twenty of them. It was like watching

162
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Scream seven.

163
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: I don't care. So it was just weird.

164
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think they had to just kind of

165
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: flip it up because everybody's fucking hurt in the vision

166
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: and you can't give Logan Paul that kind of a

167
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: push to wrestle it. He's just not ready on the

168
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: microphone yet. It's a little still a little too big.

169
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: He needs to kind of be a little bit smaller,

170
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: not body wise, his body's looking sick, just with the

171
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: with the performance. It should just be a little more

172
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: subtle than what it is. Maybe they're giving him notes

173
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: to do the opposite, and if so, then great job.

174
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: It's just I think it's a little disconnected for the audience.

175
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: I used to fight them on that a lot, not logan.

176
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: I used to fight the company on that a lot

177
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: when I worked there. I was like, that's so big man,

178
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Like you guys want to win Emmys and you have

179
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: everyone like acting over the top like it's it's not

180
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna play. You get a tech Emmy. They would never

181
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: listen to me. I'm like, go for a fucking tech Emmy.

182
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: Go up against the super Bowl, the Grammys, the Oscars, like,

183
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: go up against those shows and show how you can

184
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: stand toe to toe with them.

185
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: And they're like, oh what, Like they didn't want anything

186
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: to do with that.

187
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, you could have had twenty Emmys, like you

188
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: have twenty created Yeah.

189
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, they'll never do it. They never listen.

190
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: They'll hear this and now all of a sudden, watch

191
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: they'll submit themselves now that I've never heard of a

192
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: tech Emmy. Oh yeah, they're big, dude. The Tech Emmys

193
00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: are big.

194
00:08:59,280 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 4: Bro.

00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: You gotta step it up, baby, get your own Tech

Speaker 1: Emmy one day. Just edit your own special goal to

00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: get this Tech Emmy. That's right, dude, dude.

198
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: I do have a nice podcast setup. You know, like

199
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: I'm you know, I'm very goot a podcast tech.

200
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm in the tech now.

201
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Or podcasts are Grammys. You could get a Grammy. You

202
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: could get a comedy Grammy and a podcast Grammy.

203
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: What shoot for the stars?

204
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: You don't give a fuck. Real Ripley gets to fight

205
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: j Cargill. This match I'm excited for because I don't

206
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: think I know who's gonna win yet. It's gotta be real.

207
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: We'll make that prediction when the time comes, or we might.

208
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: We might come back because we take a little break

209
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: in between seasons. We might come back like right after WrestleMania,

210
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: hopefully right before, so we can get you guys some predictions,

211
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: some right predictions instead of the wrong ones.

212
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: The good news is all three of us picked Ria

213
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: Ripley to win this match, and so did everyone else

214
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: in the universe. So it's not like we're that cool.

215
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 2: I like it.

216
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 4: I think we did good, but I think I mean,

217
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 4: I'm ready for a new Rea Ripley era.

218
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: I'm ready for more. She's such a start.

219
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: She transcends W to B every NBA guy do you see, Uh,

220
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 4: there's the guy from the New York Knicks. I'm blanking

221
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 4: on his name Brunson or something, but he was.

222
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: Like, I watch a lot of basketball, dude.

223
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 4: So I was on Stephanie McMahon's podcast and he was like,

224
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: I want to go to wrestumating, but under one condition.

225
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: Under one condition, I gotta meet Ria Ripley. I gotta

226
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: meet Ria Ripley. And then Drake is always talking about

227
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: how it's his number one celebrity crush, Like like, Ria

228
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 4: Ripley transcends, she's she's making, she's doing a huge thing

229
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: for for wrestling in general, but definitely female wrestling.

230
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Yo, straight up, Drake could have the biggest crush in

231
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: the world. Look at Ria Ripley's man. That is not

232
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: her type. She does not like no skinny dudes, bro,

233
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: she wants buff, manly dudes, not your skinny as.

234
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: Drake's super famous. You know his name is, but he's real.

235
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: Don't care. She's super famous too, Bro. She don't give

236
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: a fuck. She gives a fuck about Buddy Matthews. That's

237
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: about it, all right, WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. I'm gonna

238
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: start by saying, way to go Alex.

239
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: Our producer. Alex.

240
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: He's not only a great producer, but he's a great picker,

241
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: and he picked right. We picked wrong, and I think

242
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: the audience nobiciously. So mm hmm, like there might he

243
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: might have a little inside information. Oh now you're bust

244
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: at Alex. I dare you to edit that?

245
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, Freddie, when you're watching these pls right or these

246
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 4: pay per views?

247
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: His old brain, Jeff likes to call him.

248
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm sitting there and I'm watching and I'm loving

249
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: it and I'm hating. I'm doing my hater thing, you know,

250
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 4: and I'm nitpicking, and I'm watching and I'm watching, and

251
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: then I go the magic ends and I go, how

252
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: did Alex get this right?

253
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: Again? I'd like to know what's going on on? What

254
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: is how does he know everything? Yeah?

255
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: I think maybe when we have a listener to our

256
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: next listener question segment, you guys should write in, like

257
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: in end mass how does Alex get it right so often?

258
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: Does he have an inside guy? And then we can

259
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: get to the truth because if we ask him now,

260
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: he's just gonna lie. He's just gonna lie. I said,

261
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: he's a great dude, but if you put him on

262
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: the spot, maybe not. You know, I'd like to know

263
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: how he's getting all these right Jeff and I picked Becky,

264
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: were dumb. Well, it's because what was she should have won? Well, yeah, that's.

265
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: Why we picked her.

266
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: I thought Becky should win the match. Becky could have

267
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: then put someone over at WrestleMania and let them win

268
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: someone that that's new, right, as everybody's always saying we

269
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: want someone new, So I, you know, I feel like

270
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: that's that's been the goal. Thought it was going to

271
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: be a Maxine due pre type situation, but they spun

272
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: out of that real quick and gave her Natty instead,

273
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: and then made switched it up again and made Natty

274
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: the victor in that, which kind of buries Maxine. So

275
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: I don't think they have WrestleMania plans.

276
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: For her now. So it was just weird.

277
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: This only means that you can go to a rematch

278
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: now with aj Lee and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania. But

279
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: we just saw the match. So their answer is, well,

280
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: we'll make it a no DQ match or a steel

281
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: cage match, so the referee can't make a decision. It's

282
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: a first one that's unconscious for ten seconds match, whatever

283
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: they call that, that's not what they call that match.

284
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't think. I can't remember the name of it,

285
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: I had to describe it instead. But yeah, so I

286
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do. But I just saw

287
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: the match, so I definitely don't need to see it

288
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: twice in a row that quickly. But yeah, I think

289
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing. I don't know who else they

290
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: could build a story up for in time, you know,

291
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: Chicago didn't like and I was really sad. Man was

292
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: the friggin' box, the Dan Housen box.

293
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 4: They by what you said, You said that you wouldn't

294
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 4: even come on the podcast anymore if there was a

295
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: person in there.

296
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: I was so I look, I was so bummed it

297
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: was Dan Housen because I like Dan Housen. I think

298
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: there's room for comedy wrestling. Santino Morella was one of

299
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: my favorites, like Doink the Clown was awesome, like I

300
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: love comedy wrestling, like DX when they were funny was

301
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: really really cool. Truth Our Truth is a friggin' master

302
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: of masters of comedy wrestling. He's making he's making the

303
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: wrestler's break like Santino would make people break. So I

304
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: like Dan Housen a lot, and I was really sad

305
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: that he got booed, and I think he's even from Chicago,

306
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: So I was just like, oh, man, they f that up,

307
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: and I think maybe that's I guess you could argue

308
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: that's the response they were going for, is like an

309
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: abstract response because he's so abstract. But I would call

310
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: bullshit on that, Like, I just think it didn't work,

311
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: and I think he deserves something. He curses people. Why

312
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: can't the miz feel cursed and not know why? And

313
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: then you introduce Dan Housen that way. Man, I look,

314
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: that's a shitty idea, but it's better than the box.

315
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: To me, I just didn't. I get that it's old

316
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: school and we're doing an old school joke on a joke,

317
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: like a rib on a rib. But to me, it

318
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: just didn't play. And then they booed him. I knew

319
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: they were gonna boo whoever came out because they were

320
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: gonna be pissed off, man, And they should have known that,

321
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: and jump ship the way they jump ship on so

322
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: many other ideas that they think are good.

323
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest here. Hmm.

324
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if I genuinely hate it or if

325
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: I just hurt everyone else's boo and there was a

326
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: little bit of disappointment. I don't even know if I

327
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 4: really how I really feel about it, because I do,

328
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 4: like Dan Housen mm hmm, I do like a crazy

329
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 4: stupid gimmick, like a box.

330
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't know. I don't know how

331
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: I feel.

332
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: I think I think I'm going with the crowd here

333
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: and then, and I'm just like I was just being

334
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 4: influenced by everyone else. Got swept up in the mob. Yeah,

335
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 4: I think I got swept up in the mob. I

336
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: think that's exactly what happened. I do like Dan Housen.

337
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 4: I actually liked last night on uh Rod he goes

338
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: you heard everyone I had. I came out to loud cheers,

339
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 4: and he was like referencing the booing.

340
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: Yeah he's smart, dude, he's smart. You gotta be smart

341
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: to be funny, man, you gotta.

342
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I was more just jealous that he

343
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: was in w B. I'm like, oh, here he is.

344
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: He's made it, this little comic wrestler has made it.

345
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: But I'm happy for him.

346
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: And I also I think that's actually part of the

347
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: why I was swept up in the mob too, was

348
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: that the you know, we know this was another thing.

349
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 4: See him Punk did see him. Punk's got his hands

350
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: in the in the pot. That's what I think.

351
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: Well, what do you mean with Dan Housen, they're really

352
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: good friends. Oh I didn't know that.

353
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: I didn'teah like.

354
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: Super you know all the inside stuff. I just to

355
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: watch the show, all right. Next up, speaking of CM Punk,

356
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: he was fighting for the World Heavyweight Championship, which he

357
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: was defending against Finn Balor. Probably the easiest match to

358
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: pick the whole year, Like the whole season. He's winning

359
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: in his hometown, whether it's a championship match or not.

360
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: They're not going to switch the champion three four weeks

361
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: before WrestleMania because that'll hurt ticket sales, which are already

362
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: hurting bad even more. Everyone knew what the story was

363
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: going to be. It is gonna be Seampunk versus Roman reigns.

364
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows who's going to win the WrestleMania match.

365
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 1: I think that's why people aren't that hyped, and that's

366
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: why ticket sales aren't that great, because everybody kind of

367
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: knows where the belt's going and who was going to

368
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: carry it until until then, you know, hopefully they can

369
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: do something crazy. And Seth Rollins can get back in there,

370
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: but I don't think so, because he has to deal

371
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: with the two remaining members of the Vision and Paul Hayman,

372
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: who he killed last night.

373
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: He didn't kill him. I said, why do you think

374
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: they did that? I don't know.

375
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: I think it's just because the injury happened, and so

376
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: they brought him back a little early and he's just

377
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: having to like they're trying to clear this storyline off

378
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: the table as quickly as possible so that he can

379
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: get into main events stuff again, because that's when people

380
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: I think were liking the storylines a little more, was

381
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: when Seth Rollins was the feature of the storylines. So yeah,

382
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: it's it's they're in a tough spot. I don't want

383
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: to blame creative and be like they're fing up. I

384
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: just feel like so many people got hurt between Seth,

385
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: braun and and and Bronson, the three members of the Vision,

386
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: the three coolest members of the Vision, although Seth's not

387
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: in it anymore, they all got freaking hurt. So whatever

388
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: great storyline, and I believe they could have told a

389
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: great story, whatever great storyline they had planned, just got

390
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: totally sandbagged. And they got fucked and they couldn't readjust it.

391
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: At least that's what I think in my experience. Anyway,

392
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: Jeff disagrees, that's what No.

393
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: I don't disagree.

394
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: Oh fascinating. That's something my mom would have done if

395
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: I would tell mom, oh, here's my dream. I'm gonna

396
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: tell I'm gonna do this, and then she'd listen to

397
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: the whole dream and go Hu, take a sip of wine,

398
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: take a drag on her Carlton Menthol cigarette and be like,

399
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: this is a promo for Carlton Menthols. Don't smoke people,

400
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: It's bad for you and it's gross, all right, So

401
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: Sampunk b finnbal Trocker. If you wanted to do these

402
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: two matches, you have Finn win in Ireland, Finn gets

403
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: the title and then loses it right away in Chicago

404
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: to see him punk, and then you can still have

405
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 1: the same story that people are gonna be uninspired by.

406
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: But at least you could have done something with Finn

407
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: for a month and given him a belt. He's so

408
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: overlooked and he's gives such great matches and he should

409
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: be in more important matches more often. Because it feels

410
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: good when he's in these matches, you just don't want

411
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: to know he's going to lose. You want to have

412
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: at least a little belief he can win in the

413
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: build up and the story. But I don't want to

414
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: drag on it too long. I don't like talking bad

415
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: about stuff. I just didn't you know, it was whatever. Finally,

416
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: the men's Elimination Chamber match, and the winner made my

417
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: back hurt a little bit. When the match was over,

418
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: I was having like PTSD because it was that bastard,

419
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: Randy Orton. You guys know, I'm joking. I love Randy.

420
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: He did break my back with a modified backbreaker, and

421
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: that's not cool, so I'll never root for him. Alex

422
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: and I picked Cody, Jeff picked La Knight Tough Night

423
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: for La Night. Yeah, we were all wrong, so everybody lost.

424
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: Everybody lost money. I still think that Bronson Reid was

425
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: going to win this match, and he was gonna win

426
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: the qualifier, and he was gonna win the Elimination Chamber

427
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: because because bron Breaker's hurt, and he was going to

428
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: go to WrestleMania against Roman Reigns.

429
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: Which would have been really, really, really cool.

430
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: I feel like he should already have they should find

431
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: a way to put a belt over his shoulder.

432
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: They won't have one that fits around.

433
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: His waist, so it's going to have to go over

434
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 1: his shoulder. But yeah, I'm still hung up on that.

435
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: But Randy Orton won. I thought the end was really cool.

436
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: The finish was I thought was really really smooth and cool.

437
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: Cody and him worked together, and Orton was like, yeah,

438
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 1: you're the man. Fuck you boom hits him with the RKO.

439
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: I thought all that was awesome. I thought Randy was

440
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: awesome the whole match. He went up to Trick Williams,

441
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: who was in the chamber, he looked at him and

442
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: got on his tiptoes and he goes, you're not six

443
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: five and then got in the ring.

444
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that was dirty. He did him wrong, dude.

445
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: But Randy's so cool in there, so smooth, puts guys over,

446
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: makes their moves look great, always takes huge damage, sells big,

447
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: and then kills you at the end, and it was

448
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: classic Randy Orton. And I actually really like the match,

449
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: but I still wish some I wish Bronson wouldn't have

450
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: gotten hurt. It would have been really cool to see

451
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: that dude win the Chamber.

452
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 4: Jeff, I am such a big Randy Orton guy, as

453
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 4: far as I don't think he gets his love, I

454
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 4: don't think he gets his flowers. I think this show,

455
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, well, I think just in general, like

456
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: everyone goes, yeah, Randy Orton's great, Like it's such a

457
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: like a throwaway kind of we all agree he's he's good,

458
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 4: but we don't really like it's gonna take a slide

459
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 4: show when he retires for everyone to be like, oh, yeah,

460
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 4: like Randy Orton was, I had like a phenomenal career,

461
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 4: like he's he's incredible. He's been such a part of

462
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 4: so many different chapters and stories and things, and he

463
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: still looks great and he obviously can still do it

464
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: in the ring. There's like there there's more ring rust

465
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 4: and age showing on CM Punk, then there is Randy Orton,

466
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 4: and I'm guessing they're around the same age, right, and

467
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 4: Randy Orton looks like a monster.

468
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 2: So yeah, I love I love I love it.

469
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: I'm glad they did it, and kudos to the rioting

470
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: team to even consider it and make it happen.

471
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: So I was pumped about it.

472
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's funny you said that when when

473
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: Punk wrestled Balor. My kids were in the room, My

474
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: wife was in the room, and I'm not going to

475
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: say who said it. Well, it wasn't Sarah. It was

476
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: one of my kids. Wait a minute, the jack guy's

477
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: not the champion. I was like, no, f and then

478
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: and then to be followed by he's not going to

479
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: wrestle in the shirt, is he?

480
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: Yeah?

481
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 4: Well but that's the thing, dude. No one's showing age

482
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 4: more than cem popular.

483
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was.

484
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: It's it's getting it's getting a little tougher for him.

485
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: It's getting a little tougher. All right, Let's move on

486
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: to Monday Night Raw in the game Bridge Field House

487
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, Indiana. I don't know if I've been to

488
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: this arena or not, but I did go when I

489
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: worked there. I don't know if it was called Gamebridge

490
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: back then. I don't remember that. But it's Monday, and iraw,

491
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for something good. I was thinking it was

492
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 1: going to be like the raw after WrestleMania. How it

493
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: always sucks, right because nobody can wrestle like two days

494
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: in a row like that. It's not good for their bodies.

495
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: So they really try to let the majority of the

496
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: people who work rest and they'll give other people a chance,

497
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: or it'll just be a lot of talking segments, and

498
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: those are the ones that piss people off. So I

499
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: thought this was going to be similar because the show opened,

500
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: it was the vision and it was Paul Hayman logan

501
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: Paul and Austin theory because everybody else is frigging hurt,

502
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: which just sucks man.

503
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: It killed their story.

504
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: It kills a lot of stuff, kills excitement for Mania,

505
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: and Paul Hayman has to do all the talking because

506
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: the other young men just aren't quite there yet. On

507
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: the microphone, you know, bron cut that promo, he let

508
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: everybody know he was ready a couple months ago.

509
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: Bronson is really good.

510
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Backstage and it's just calm and collected and comes off

511
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: so dangerous and he's like, yeah, you have you have

512
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: some trouble, Well I fix you have a problem. I

513
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: fix problems, and he's just very just oh yeah, that

514
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: guy fixes problems like you just believe him, and the

515
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: other guy's just they're not they're not there yet. So

516
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: so Hayman has to do all the heavy lifting in

517
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: this and then here come the mask men, and it's

518
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: a Scooby Doo segment all of a sudden, and the

519
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: music starts, and then Benny Hint music, Benny Hill music,

520
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: and they all come out and they trick all the

521
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: wrestlers and all the security and they and they all

522
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: run out and it's just Paul Hayman alone, and here

523
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: comes the mass Man and he's gonna get Paul Hayman.

524
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: And then the crowd cheers because all of a sudden,

525
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: another mask man comes out from under the ring, and

526
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: this one has a chair and it's Seth freaking Rawlins.

527
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: And Seth Rawlins doesn't waste any time. He does not

528
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: cut a promo on this man. He just smashes him

529
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: with a chair and stomps him in the head. And

530
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: Paul Hayman has been murdered and he probably won't even

531
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: be on TV next week, which would be tough for

532
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the Vision, but it won't matter because

533
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: Seth Rollins is going to kick their asses very quickly

534
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: on the way to wrestle Mania and somehow find himself

535
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: in a Mania match that that means something I just

536
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: don't know. Against two, he already wrestled Logan, Paul I

537
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: think at the mania you and I went to, so

538
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they should go again. I would like

539
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: to see something fresh. I don't think people would be

540
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: excited for that. So I don't know what they're gonna do.

541
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not ready physically, so maybe it's going to

542
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: be more like sneak attacks on these guys because he

543
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: can't wrestle a match yet. But that was segment one.

544
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: You know it was.

545
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: It was quick as far as the storytelling goes, but

546
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: I guess it was effective.

547
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: You know, what, did you think? Here's the thing.

548
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 4: I'm the kind of guy they write for when you

549
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 4: do a masked man thing, right, like I'm that viewer.

550
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: That's like I'm asked man, like I'm in. But it

551
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: has to make sense. It's gotta make sense. Why would

552
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 4: seth Rawlins need to wear a mask?

553
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: Thank you? It doesn't. I wish I would have said that,

554
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 2: thank you. It makes no sense.

555
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 4: He could have He could have hit his music and

556
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 4: come out and done that. He could have came down.

557
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 4: Everyone knows who he is. There doesn't need to be

558
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 4: a reveal. Ooh, I've been gone three weeks. I've got

559
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 4: to sneak back in the arena with a mask on,

560
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 4: what are we doing? And then to have like the

561
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 4: all the other masked people, which doesn't make any sense

562
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 4: to me either, because now you can't keep track, so

563
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 4: why have.

564
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: Them be masked? No, they don't need to be masked either.

565
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 4: It reminded me of the El Grande Americano when you

566
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 4: just started seeing more and more of the of the luchadors,

567
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 4: because but that's comedy wrestling, so that was kind of humorous.

568
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 4: It's kind of funny that you have these American luchadors.

569
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 4: You know, well, are we supposed to be laughing? Because

570
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 4: it seems like a joke to have all these all

571
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 4: these masked wrestlers running around.

572
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: It was.

573
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: It was tough, man. I think they just got hamstrung

574
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: and that's why they had to do it. I don't

575
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: think that was the original, you know, creative plan. So

576
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give him a little latitude, but yeah,

577
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you. They did their best with what they had.

578
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: You know, seth Rollins can can can fix a lot,

579
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: but he can only make it as good as he

580
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: can make it, you know, So it was it was tough.

581
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 4: Let's move on the wrestlers ever, Sorry, interrupt. Do you

582
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 4: think the wrestlers ever just go? Why would I do this?

583
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 4: I think it and I know it they should. I

584
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 4: was there and it was every week. It was every

585
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 4: single when I was there.

586
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: Why am I wearing a mask? I don't Why are

587
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: we doing this?

588
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it happened a lot. It happened, they did. It's

589
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: just you know, they have bosses. So all right, A

590
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: match that was good Conther versus Dragon Lea. The only

591
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: reason I hate this is because I feel like it's

592
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: going to the end of Ray mystereo. Dragon Lee came

593
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: out hot man. It was whipping Gunther's ass and then

594
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: Gunther said, nah, Bro, you're little on big and you

595
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: don't know jiu jitsu, and so he beat the ship

596
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: out of Dragon Lee, ripped off his mask, which made

597
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: him protect his face, and then he got choked out

598
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: because Gunther don't play.

599
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 2: That's the way the story should have gone. I loved it,

600
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: but it does.

601
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: Make me think that Ray's going to retire at WrestleMania,

602
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: and Gunther's gonna done it done done another one by

603
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: the dust that's gonna be his theme music on the

604
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: Monday night Raw after Media Bro It's and I'm gonna

605
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: be sad, but it was still an awesome match, And

606
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: I think they're doing the right thing with Gunther.

607
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 4: Do you think they he masked him on purpose or

608
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: was that an accident purpose purposeful?

609
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: Yes, he was trying the whole match.

610
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's he's disrespecting the luchadors. Man.

611
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 2: He can't he can't unmask Ray. Everybody's already seen Ray's

612
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: face walking around lately signing autographs with his mask. Yeah shit,

613
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: he wrestled for like five years without a mask, man.

614
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 4: I know, but like I've thought about, like he regretted

615
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 4: that chapter and now he else everywhere.

616
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of Mysterios, the man, the best babyface in the

617
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,239
Speaker 1: game today, the best heel in the game today, the

618
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: best of the best period, the champion Dominic Mysterio versus

619
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: Penta or should I say the new Intercontinental champion Penta,

620
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: because he beat Dominic's ass, and Dominic has said, yo, man,

621
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: let me do this alone. He kind of saw Finn

622
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: lead by example, right. Finn was like, no, I got this,

623
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: you motherfuckers, stay back. And he lost, but he still

624
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: he went out like a like a champ, not a chump,

625
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: and so Dominic was kind of following suit and he's like, yo,

626
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: I got this. You can come out and watch, but

627
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: don't interfere in the match. And j D McDonough you

628
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: see him, he's kind of like what man, like, come on, man,

629
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: this is what we do. And Finn's like, yo, I

630
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: got you. So they go out and the whole match

631
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: with every time time they cut. JD McDonald's like got

632
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: his hands on his jeans and he's like antsy. He's

633
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: like Jeff, when I talk too much, he gets real

634
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: antsy and then he and then Finn Baller calms him down.

635
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: He's like, no, man, remember remember he said let's do

636
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: it alone. And then finally Dominus getting his ass whooped

637
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: too much and he's like yo, help, and JD's like,

638
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: I got you, and he goes to get the bell

639
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: hammer so he gonna whack him in the head with it,

640
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: and Finn Baller's like, no, dude, he said he wants

641
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: to do it alone.

642
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: Let him do it alone.

643
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: And Jad's like shut up, he just said help, like

644
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: get me the ring bell and Finn's like, nah, man,

645
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: this is how it's got to go down. He can

646
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: do this, and so we're gonna get a baby face

647
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: fin ballor which hopefully then he'll get the push he deserves,

648
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: and so they don't help him, and my man Dominic

649
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: Mysterio is no longer the champion.

650
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: I was very sad.

651
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: I know you love Penta, but Dom's my favorite, and

652
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: I knew he had to lose it eventually, but I

653
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: think he's going to lose the other one pretty soon too.

654
00:30:53,840 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 4: I love Penta. Dan Housen cursed. He cursed him, so

655
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: curse everyone that loses.

656
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 2: That's dude. I like, I like that gimmick.

657
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 4: You know you are cursed and you're like, oh no, dude,

658
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 4: he's about to lose the belt.

659
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: That's what I said. But then I was like, is.

660
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 4: W B really gonna immediately have a guy come in

661
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 4: like that and are they really going to telegraph him losing?

662
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 2: And they did. It was amazing. It's the greatest to

663
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: him for that too. Yeah. I love comedy. I love dude.

664
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: I think Dan Holisend's so cool. We talk more about

665
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: Dan hous than I guess. I just I love that

666
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 1: he's so obnoxious that you believe you're cursed right like

667
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: any like bad stuff starts happening to you, and he

668
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: shows up and he's like, haha, furst and You're like,

669
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: what the fuck, get away, You're so annoying. But then

670
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: like a month in you're like, hold the funk on, man,

671
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: Am I cursed? Like I just I love him.

672
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 4: I love he pissed off to Dom pissed him off,

673
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 4: and so he says, you're cursed.

674
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: And then I was like, are they going to make

675
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: him lose tonight? After that?

676
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 4: Like, I was very excited to see if they followed

677
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 4: through with that, and they did.

678
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna put him on SmackDown, not

679
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: raw it. By the way, Oh he might be one

680
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: of these Could he do both? Is that a thing

681
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: that they.

682
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 2: Do for me? Yeah?

683
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: I'll see him anywhere he wants to go. Man, he

684
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: can fuck with the mis real easy. He can mess

685
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: with the general managers in a great way and just

686
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: annoy them to death and make them trade him back

687
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: and forth.

688
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: I don't want them you take him? No, God damn it.

689
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: You're driving me crazy, all right, Roman Reiins and see

690
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: them punk. In a note that our producer wrote, in

691
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: a verbal collision, it.

692
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: Wasn't much of a collision.

693
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: It was this was a one sided homicide by Roman Reins.

694
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: Roman Rains selected CM Punk. Punk fortunately won the match

695
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: against Finn Balor, so he gets his WrestleMania moment. At

696
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: WrestleMania forty two, they confronted each other on Monday night.

697
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: Raw Punk talked for a little bit about how I'm

698
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: in your head, you hate me, I'm in your head,

699
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: and Roman Reins pulled out a sword and cut this

700
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: man open and let his gut spill all over the

701
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: mat by saying, nah, dude, we brought you back to

702
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: sell T shirts. That's it, bro, And so much of

703
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: what he said was business accurate that it made the

704
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: champ look insecure. Now Punk can act as ass off,

705
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: but as far as the content that was coming out

706
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,239
Speaker 1: of their mouths, Roman felt more honest and authentic than

707
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: the things that them Punk was saying. And then Sampunk

708
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: saves it a little bit at the end by saying

709
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm put you in a grave with your father, like

710
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: you basically see him soon, and Roman Reigns is like, Yo,

711
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: what the fuck did he just say? He thought that

712
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: was a strange ending. He sold big for him, which

713
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: at least makes Punk look a little tougher in it,

714
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: But otherwise the words Roman said, I thought just just

715
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: annihilated punk. And you don't see punk it beat in

716
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: promos ever, right, And I thought he just got torched,

717
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: just torched.

718
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.

719
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 4: I liked what everything Roman was saying and it felt sincere.

720
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 4: And I also I just again, maybe this is getting

721
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: swept up in the mob, the the although the mob

722
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 4: seems to love see him punk, so the crowd anti

723
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 4: see them punk mob. That if I if I'm in

724
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 4: any mob, because I loved all the things Rouman was saying,

725
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: I feel like I know see him punk.

726
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: I know exactly what happened. He thinks. You know, he's

727
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: this like edgy.

728
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 4: Guy who doesn't put up with no crap and I've

729
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 4: always been but really not really really see him punk.

730
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 2: You're just this, this this.

731
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 4: Brat who while you weren't being chose as the guy,

732
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 4: while you weren't the champ, if you didn't get your way,

733
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 4: you would misbehave and be punk rock and edgy like

734
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 4: a little grumpy teenager. And then you took your ball

735
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 4: and left, I'm not gonna play. And then the fans

736
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 4: chanted your name for over a decade seeing punk seem

737
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 4: and then once you came to a w and you

738
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 4: saw wrestlers who acted the way you did because they

739
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 4: weren't champs and they were being little brats. You said, well,

740
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 4: this is unprofessional, this is unprofessional, and oh, I'm with

741
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 4: a bunch of children, all these children around me, but

742
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 4: they were just behaving the way you used to behave

743
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 4: seeing punk when you didn't get the strap and you

744
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 4: didn't get story, and you didn't get money, and you

745
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 4: didn't get respect. And now and now the WWE's decided

746
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 4: to make you the guy and you put the belt on.

747
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 4: Not only are you the opposite of punk rock, you

748
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 4: have become the most corporate company guy ever. And now

749
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 4: you're doing the podcast and you're doing all the things,

750
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: and you're mister company guy, so much of a company

751
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 4: guy that you're referring to everything as we. He keeps saying,

752
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 4: we decided, Roman, we decided. He is such a predictable

753
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 4: teenager in all of his behaviors. This guy is the

754
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 4: most predictable storyline of brat behavior I've ever seen.

755
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: Mister Jeff, Die, Ladies and gentleman. Let's move to see

756
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: Himpunk's old home where he said real wrestling existed. The

757
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: only reason he came back was because of ae W.

758
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: Then he left, But we're going to talk about a

759
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: W because it's gotten damn good. Ae Wyne Dynamite.

760
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: I almost said it, like, what's what's his face? Dynamite?

761
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 2: Jimmy Walker, thank you.

762
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy hated my dad, by the way, Yeah, dude, he

763
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: tried to sell jokes to my dad, and my dad

764
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: didn't like him. This is a story Byron Allen told me,

765
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: and so so Walker was like, yo, fuck him. He's

766
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: not funny, He's unfunny, this and that, and would like

767
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: he didn't he didn't love my dad. And then after

768
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: my dad died, he acted like he was my dad's

769
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: best friend and in interviews would like speak so well

770
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: of him and he and he literally they were trying

771
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: to make a movie about my dad, and he said,

772
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: you can't tell the Freddie Prinz story without telling the

773
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Walker's story or what's Jimmy Walker?

774
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 2: Is that his name? Johnny? Yeah, Jimmy JJ Walker?

775
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: And the producers are like, okay, so we won't we

776
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: won't be interviewing you.

777
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: I guess, well, let me just say this. Didn't like

778
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: my dad. Fuck Jimmy Walker. No, man, that's all good.

779
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: I don't like. I don't care.

780
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: You shouldn't care. My dad was the fucking man bro.

781
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what j walker about it. That know.

782
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: Mike was pretty cool though.

783
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: Anyway, here we go sold out Mission ballroom people in Denver, Colorado,

784
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: home of all the weed shops in the world. By

785
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: the way, our producer is not the only one saying this,

786
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: it's me too. A W has been on the rise.

787
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: This is a note from our producer, and they've set

788
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: themselves apart from WWE, and it's finally paying off. In

789
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: the long run, they become a true alternative to the

790
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 1: programming over on WWE. I think that's pretty freaking accurate. Man,

791
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: I early on was critical of A although I did say,

792
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, we got to give them time to exist

793
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: before we say there's no history here.

794
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know, where's all the history? Where's the story?

795
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: They don't just have great matches now, they have reasons

796
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: to fight each other because they've been around for eight

797
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: or nine seasons six about six years, eight or nine seasons,

798
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: I think is how it works out. They finally have

799
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: reasons to hate each other, reasons to have each other's back,

800
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: reasons to love one another, reasons to form tag teams,

801
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: reasons to end tag teams, and I think their storytelling

802
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: has been wonderful lately. I was going to say lovely,

803
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: but that's not a wrestling term, so I'm not going

804
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: to say that. But I think it's been wonderful. I've

805
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: really been enjoying it, not just the matches, but the

806
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: motives as to why, especially with John Moxley. He created

807
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: the death Writers, he became the champion to harden the

808
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: roster of AEW. That was what he would say, not

809
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: those words, but he would always say, you guys are

810
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: soft and weak, and I'm gonna make you tough and

811
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: give you that tough love out of father figure in

812
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: my life that gave me tough love.

813
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: That shit sucks, by the way, the other loves way better.

814
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: So if you're raising your kids, trust me, man give

815
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: him that unconditional love. But he's going to strengthen this roster,

816
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: and he fucking did and finally got beat and it

817
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: took everybody on the roster to do it. So I

818
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: just thought that was a great sort of introduction into

819
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: this new chapter in the AEW world, where everybody has

820
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: a story, everybody has a reason. Right now, He's dealing

821
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: with all of the Don Kallis family because they're assholes

822
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: and they're trying to weaken him so that Kanuski Takeshita.

823
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: I hope I said his name right. Man, I've been

824
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: trying so hard to get these Japanese names right. He's

825
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: gonna be the next champ, and so they're like softening

826
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: him and beating him down and weakening him so that

827
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: when he gets presented to the alpha male Takeshita, he's

828
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: gonna lose and we won't get a time limit draw

829
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: and we won't get you know, He's gonna be the man,

830
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: and I'm super excited for that. The match with El

831
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: Clone again.

832
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: Dude.

833
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: Moxley and Randy Orton are very different wrestlers, but here's

834
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: one similarity between the two of them. They will make

835
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: their opponent look absolutely phenomenal. They will sell, they will

836
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: make it look at the end of the match like

837
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: they barely want it, just by the.

838
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 2: Skin of their teeth.

839
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: Oh, he almost had me like, and you genuinely like

840
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: believe it. And Moxley's one of the best in the

841
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: world to do it. It was a super fun match.

842
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: All his matches are super fun. I don't think he

843
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: bled though, what's up, Moxley, you don't want to bleed anymore?

844
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: What happened, baby? What happened? I'm just kidding. I'm sure

845
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: he bled somewhere. He probably had internal bleeding. But I'm

846
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: loving this and I'm loving where it goes. And I'm

847
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: excited to see the third matchup between Takeshita and Max

848
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 1: and see Takeshaa finally get the championship. I'm loving aw

849
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: right now. Jeff Kevin Knight fought man swords. Everyone knew

850
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: Kevin Knight was gonna win. But thank you for saying

851
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: the future, because that's what this dude is, man. Give

852
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: him time on the microphone, Give him time. He'll develop that.

853
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: The more he's on camera, the more he's cutting promos

854
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: to know a live TV audience, the better he's gonna get.

855
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: It's way different than the indie scene. As far as

856
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: cutting promos. It can't just be big energy like. There's

857
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: levels to it. And as time goes and he works

858
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: with other people, he's going to develop that tool. This

859
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: dude can fly. We love the We love anyone that's bouncy, right,

860
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: We love anyone that can make you, that can do

861
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: shit that you know you can't do. And this guy

862
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: does the UFO off the top rope where he literally spins.

863
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: When I was a little kid, I used to do

864
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: that shit on trampolines. I would bounce on my stomach

865
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: as hard as I could, fly up in the air

866
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: and try to do a full, like horizontal three sixty

867
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: in the air and land that shit. And I think

868
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: he might have done the same thing as a kid

869
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: on a trampoline and that's where he developed that finisher.

870
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: But he gets so high and he rotates so much. Man,

871
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: it's a full one to eighty rotation, sometimes a little

872
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: more if the guy's not one hundred percent straight, so

873
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: he'll have to go more and can.

874
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: And it's so sick.

875
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something else, man, I saw

876
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: him doing a body slam a couple weeks ago. I

877
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: think on Etchi Cetto it might have been on Echi cetto.

878
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: His biceps. Bro, we talk about Austin theory and logo

879
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: Paul's buys and how sweet they look, yo, when he's

880
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: lifting and flexing.

881
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 2: The biceps are sweet.

882
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: The biceps are the sweet meat. So he's got the body,

883
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: he's got the face.

884
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 2: He's good looking.

885
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: He can wrestle his ass off, and I think people

886
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: hopefully will allow him to develop his craft as far

887
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: as talking on the mic and let that kind of marinate.

888
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: Aw's done a really good job at taking its time

889
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: and not rushing things. You could argue the Jade Cargill

890
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: was the push, the biggest, fastest push of all pushes.

891
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: But other than that, they haven't really done that. People

892
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: take L's, people learn lessons, people get cocky, people get humbled.

893
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: They're doing a good job with it, and I think

894
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna do a good job with Kevin as well.

895
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, how old is Kevin night Man? I wish I knew.

896
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

897
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: He seems young. I was talking for twenty minutes. You

898
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: could have googled it.

899
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know. I just meant if

900
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 2: he is young, I like it.

901
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be a huge, huge star, or

902
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 4: at least all the potentials there, you know.

903
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: I love twenty nine.

904
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 4: Twenty nine, Okay, that's good age, He's yeah, he's got

905
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 4: all the things. I like anything that reminds me of Luca,

906
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 4: and this guy's high flying.

907
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: I love so big fan. All right, this is my

908
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: favorite segment. Of the week and all of wrestling, and

909
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk MJF and hang Man at him page.

910
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: In the Stipulation show Down with Tony Shavani flipping coins baby,

911
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: MJF presents his case. First of all, he shits all

912
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: over pot smokers. Let me tell you some MJF. He said,

913
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: you do dope, you go broke. That's factually inaccurate. I

914
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: know a lot of rich people to smoke weed, and

915
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: it's not nice to shit on my brothers and sisters

916
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: like that. All right, So for the first time, MJF,

917
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: you and I got a little beef because you got

918
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: beef with my people, people that I love, and you

919
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: shit all over Denver, which is a terrible thing to do.

920
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: And the only thing you shit on them with was weed,

921
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: which is legal there, baby, so cool out. If you're

922
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: in an illegal state, then yeah, you could shit on it.

923
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: But come on, man, show a little love anyway. It

924
00:43:58,920 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: hurt my feelings.

925
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 2: It's a perfect thing to insult.

926
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: Of course, No, it was great, dude, he's the man.

927
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm just talking hit.

928
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 2: I fucking love this segment. It made me laugh right away.

929
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: Everything he said, the cotton mouth like, everything was was

930
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: super super funny. And then he presents this coin. He says,

931
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna flip for it. I'll give

932
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: you a fifty to fifty shot if you win. If

933
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: it's tails, it's a Texas death match. If it's heads,

934
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: it's my kind of match. I think he said, like

935
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: a no disqualification match, something like that. And he pulls

936
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: out the coin and right away I even knew what

937
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: it was and I didn't care. I was like, yo,

938
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: it's a two sided coin, like right, right, every when

939
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: he pulls it out like it is for sure a

940
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: two sided coin, and there's no way he has the

941
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: bulls to do this and it can't work right.

942
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 2: So he flips the coin and he goes, what is it?

943
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: Shavani tell him what it is. It's heads, that's right,

944
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: that's right, you stupid cowboy bullshit shit kicker your boots?

945
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: Are you know all this stuff? He gets the coin

946
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: and he starts walking up and at a pait, hang man,

947
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: out of bait, just like, bro, bring your ass back here,

948
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 1: let me see that coin.

949
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 2: And Mgf's like, what, Bro, what are you talking about?

950
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:07,479
Speaker 1: Coin?

951
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 2: Man? I'm not gonna show you a coin. You're stupid

952
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 2: I'm out of here, man.

953
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: He lost, and he goes out and they find like

954
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: the biggest and most dudes on the brody King and

955
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: everyone else on the roster that hates m JF comes

956
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: out and it's like, nah, bro, you're gonna show him

957
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: a quarter. We're gonna beat the shit out of you

958
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: in unison, and Mgf's playing it so nice. He's like, okay, okay,

959
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: come in, Okay, fine, fine, here's a stupid quarter. Look

960
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: two sided coin to Tony Kahan calls Tony Shavanni on

961
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: the headset and Tony Schevanni says, I just got news

962
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: from the boss.

963
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 2: We've got Texas Death So.

964
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: When it's time to make the predictions for the pay

965
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 1: per view, remember these things. Adam Page. I don't think

966
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: has ever lost to Texas Death Match. It's his like,

967
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: it's his specialty match. It's like Jeff Hardy on a ladder.

968
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: You just you know, well, he lost a lot of them,

969
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: but you always thought he was gonna win. And he

970
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: said it's his it's his home, it's his safe place.

971
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 1: And he also said, if you win, I'll never challenge

972
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: for the title again. And there ain't no freaking way

973
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: Hangman a him Page is never going to challenge for

974
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: the World Championship ever again, he's too talented for that.

975
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 2: So you know who I'm.

976
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: Gonna pick when it's time to make our picks. But

977
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: this segment made me laugh. It got me excited for

978
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: their match. I think that this is the match that's

979
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: in LA. If it is, I'm even more excited to

980
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: go now to watch it.

981
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 2: What say you, Jeff? Did I feel like.

982
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 4: That whole the whole thing with MJF and the two

983
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 4: headed coin, The whole thing smells like an old Western story.

984
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 4: The slimy guy cheating in a saloon and then he's

985
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 4: like I want, I want, and then when he tries

986
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 4: to get out, they block the door, like let's see

987
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 4: the coin. It feels like an old Western timey story. Yeah,

988
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 4: so it couldn't be better that it's a Texas match,

989
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 4: Like I love that.

990
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: That's great.

991
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was spoke perfect, so well done. MJF is

992
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 4: a genius. The whole thing is perfect. So I'm very very,

993
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 4: very very excited.

994
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: We had the Babes of Wrath versus Megabad. They won

995
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: via DQ so their storyline I'll get to continue. I

996
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: think Penelope before it got hurt in that, which is horrible,

997
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: so get well soon. I hate injuries, but they happen

998
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: multiple times a year. Sorry, there's a helicopter flying directly

999
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: over my house hold on one second. And then we

1000
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: had Brody King he defeated Jeff's favorite name in professional wrestling,

1001
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: Mark Davis. Jeff thinks it's the most exciting name he's

1002
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 1: heard in professional wrestling. It gets him hyped up, makes

1003
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: him want to fight. It's his favorite. And what that's

1004
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: what you said last Nay, that's what I said.

1005
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1006
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: And then we got the Mile High Madness ten Man

1007
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,919
Speaker 1: anything Goes match where somehow they got all ten dudes over.

1008
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: This isn't my kind of match, all right, I'm gonna

1009
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: start by saying that you guys know that I don't

1010
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 1: like when.

1011
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 2: There's too much chaos.

1012
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: Our producer, Alex loves this kind of match because it's

1013
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: all chaos. Jeff, I don't know how you feel about it,

1014
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: but I watched it, and by the end of it,

1015
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: I was like, Yeah, all these guys just totally kicked

1016
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: ass man. Like I usually am not feeling it, but

1017
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: I I thought they did a good job. And everyone

1018
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: told a story and everyone kind of has a direction

1019
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: to go now that the match is over.

1020
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: So I thought it worked. I love it. Bigger is better.

1021
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: It's time to get near the end of our show,

1022
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: which means it's time to talk Swerve Strickland. We all

1023
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 1: know whose house it is, Swerve's house. He came out,

1024
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: he cut a great promo. He had tons of fun

1025
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: with it. He started playful, like you miss me, you sickos,

1026
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: and the crowd's like, yeah, we missed you si. Some

1027
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: guy tried to talk shit and Swerve hit him with

1028
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: her your mama like it was just everything about it

1029
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: was fun and smooth. And then he was like, yo,

1030
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: I thought you guys would enjoy what I did to

1031
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: Omega last week because they were a little too on

1032
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: his side, and so then he had to remind them

1033
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: like I beat up your favorite wrestler. And then so

1034
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: he got about half the crowd to start getting mad

1035
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: at him. But there's gonna be a large portion of

1036
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: every crowd that's never gonna hate Swerve Strickland, like they're

1037
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: gonna love him. So I thought it was really effective

1038
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: just to get like half the house to start to

1039
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: boo you as opposed to none of them. But he

1040
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: was pissed off about the most dangerous comments, which gives

1041
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: him a little story with Brodie King down the road,

1042
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: because that's who Kenny Omega said was the most dangerous.

1043
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: The most dangerous man in aw was Berdie King. So

1044
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: now they can have a match which keeps him busy

1045
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: while other people are fighting for the championship. But you

1046
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: know Swerve is going for the belt and you know

1047
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: he's getting there soon. He's probably next, and this is

1048
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: just going to be some filler for him to get there,

1049
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: but to watch him beat Brodie King, because he will

1050
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: beat Brodie King on TV like on a live DYNA.

1051
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: That match is going to be awesome. So I'm excited

1052
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: for that. And that's what aaw was this week.

1053
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 4: Man.

1054
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: It was literally just like setting up all these future

1055
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: stories and setting them out rather clearly so that you

1056
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: have a good view of the playing field and what

1057
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: they have in store for you leading up to the

1058
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 1: pay per view. I thought it was wonderfully wonderfully done.

1059
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: Almost said lovely again, So I'm just going to start

1060
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: saying lovely when I talk about wrestling, And if you

1061
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: guys don't like it too bad, go ahead, Jeff No.

1062
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 4: I think I agree with what you just said that

1063
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 4: they're setting up things the way I wish WWE was

1064
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 4: setting up things for WrestleMania.

1065
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1066
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: Man, I thought they did a good job with the

1067
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 1: ops injuries f that story up. It gave good motivation

1068
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: for hook on mid card stuff. Like they've been focusing

1069
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: on all levels of their wrestling, from people that they're

1070
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: trying to build, like Kevin Knight to mid Cord guys,

1071
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: to the leading ladies and the leading men.

1072
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 2: I think they're doing just a wonderful job right now.

1073
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: Also, next week, for our final episode of the season,

1074
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,000
