Speaker 1: Whoo, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, that's what That's kind of
Speaker 1: what I was.
Speaker 2: Doing where you're going for Yeah, who.
Speaker 1: I'm doing. I'm doing a celebration that is reminiscentage correct.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to domitations. I know you as per used.
Speaker 2: You're giving me woo. I want woo, perfect perfect.
Speaker 1: My notes mean nothing. I'm excited to hear your notes.
Speaker 1: We have just come back from WrestleMania forty one in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. It was really fun. It's it's a long event,
Speaker 1: and boy were there are a lot of people there,
Speaker 1: over sixty one thousand people at Allegiant Stadium, so absolutely
Speaker 1: sold out. I I before I tell you any of
Speaker 1: my thoughts, I would love to hear, I'm going to
Speaker 1: go right to what the people want to know, right
Speaker 1: or strong? Your first WrestleMania, your first wrestling event.
Speaker 2: Wrestling event since being in the ring.
Speaker 3: Yes, be part of what the n I have a
Speaker 3: major thought about. But you know, we can get back.
Speaker 3: I already talked to you a little bit about it.
Speaker 3: I am exhausted. Yeah, it was a lot, Yes, it
Speaker 3: was fun. I still it's fundamentally not my scene.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, Yeah, it's it's a sporting event.
Speaker 3: It's I mean, I know, it's it's more like I
Speaker 3: got into the characters and the drama and all the
Speaker 3: pageantry is like super but it's still fundamentally like going
Speaker 3: to a sporting event.
Speaker 2: That's not my scene.
Speaker 3: Like I definitely am like, wow, there's you know, a
Speaker 3: lot going on. Indy was not super into it.
Speaker 2: I was surprised by wasn't it at all? No, you know,
Speaker 2: I was like, what did you think? And he was like,
Speaker 2: it was cool.
Speaker 3: And then he started imagining five Nights at Freddy's characters
Speaker 3: wrestling and that got him very excited. So I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: so you kind of get the vibe. But I think
Speaker 3: he's he's into like more like horror fantasy stuff right now,
Speaker 3: so wrestling, and again it's I think for him it
Speaker 3: felt like a sporting thing.
Speaker 2: So he was confused.
Speaker 1: He was like, I think if he had gotten into
Speaker 1: some of the characters and he knew who some of
Speaker 1: the characters.
Speaker 2: Were, I feel like that was.
Speaker 1: Like him going like, characters, I really know five Nights
Speaker 1: of Freddy's, what if they were exactly? And I feel
Speaker 1: him knowing them.
Speaker 3: Me too, Like I didn't, you know, I thought maybe
Speaker 3: there would be more scenes or like play like explanations
Speaker 3: and they do the little pre pre role, but it
Speaker 3: happened so fast and it was hard to hear, and
Speaker 3: like nobody else is kind of paying attention, so I
Speaker 3: was like watching it and being.
Speaker 2: Like, wait, who attacked who?
Speaker 3: And what's the becks, and like, I feel like those
Speaker 3: were mostly like little previews for everyone who already knows
Speaker 3: all that stuff that is true, So I was a.
Speaker 1: Little They're not laying a bunch of pipe for people
Speaker 1: who new to the scene.
Speaker 2: So I just kept trying to think.
Speaker 3: I kept you know, I kept telling myself what Mark
Speaker 3: told us, which was, you know, to just not obelief exactly, and.
Speaker 2: That's not my default mode.
Speaker 4: At the same time I was saying to you and
Speaker 4: you weren't there going like oh this is terrible or
Speaker 4: what doing this?
Speaker 2: Or no more than anything, I just were kind.
Speaker 4: Of getting not getting into it, but also not critically
Speaker 4: analyzing everything they were.
Speaker 3: Doing, but just feeling behind, feeling a little out of it.
Speaker 3: And then I definitely much prefer watching women do the
Speaker 3: actual fighting, especially because there's far more so much more acrobatic,
Speaker 3: and I think there's something that sounds stupid, But there's
Speaker 3: something about size, Like when you're watching big dudes like
Speaker 3: hate each other, it's like it doesn't feel I know,
Speaker 3: it is very athletic, but it doesn't feel as like
Speaker 3: sort of uh, visually acrobatic, you know, like whereas like
Speaker 3: when you're watching smaller people flip and jump, it was.
Speaker 2: More like exciting.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it was a weird I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: much rather be watching the women fight.
Speaker 2: It was it was cool.
Speaker 1: I would definitely I will agree with you that women's
Speaker 1: matches over the last several years have just become the
Speaker 1: matches to watch. They are really the stars right now,
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 3: And also the moves, like the guy the male moves
Speaker 3: I kind of knew even though I had never really
Speaker 3: been to a wrestling but I knew a lot of.
Speaker 4: Like suplex and power.
Speaker 3: Well I was like, oh, they're doing that thing in
Speaker 3: the area, whereas like with the women, I was like, whoa,
Speaker 3: what is that? Like they're like wrapping their legs and
Speaker 3: flipping each other in like newer ways. That just felt like, oh,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen this or heard about this, so I
Speaker 3: don't know that Maybe that was why I was a
Speaker 3: little more because like the guys. I was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: that's at the end. Also, we already had this. I
Speaker 3: thought the first.
Speaker 2: Fight was not that good.
Speaker 1: I cannot believe.
Speaker 3: I was like every then it got only better for me,
Speaker 3: but still okay.
Speaker 1: So the first fight tonight was Jay Usso against Gunther.
Speaker 4: Gunther who is clearly supposed to be Ivan Drago from
Speaker 4: Rocky Boy.
Speaker 1: Does he ever just look like a man?
Speaker 4: And I thought they were like they were, you know,
Speaker 4: gonna make them something Soviet like somehow they and they
Speaker 4: you know, he comes out of ice clay, you know,
Speaker 4: king because he's been a Soviet from and they're like,
Speaker 4: he's from Austria. And I'm like, Austria is a lovely country,
Speaker 4: Like what is what's go to? Guntu probably be a
Speaker 4: wonderful man. He come in to this ring if everybody struggle,
Speaker 4: like what's the problem. But they clearly were going with him,
Speaker 4: like he didn't speak much. He's like supposed to be Drago.
Speaker 4: But I liked that match match.
Speaker 1: I love that so much.
Speaker 2: Downtime, a lot of time out of the ring walking
Speaker 2: around flowering. Yeah, there's a lot of glowering from both
Speaker 2: of them, And I was like.
Speaker 3: Where's the fighting guy, and I was like, is this
Speaker 3: really what it's going to and then no, the other
Speaker 3: fights were much more active. That one just felt very
Speaker 3: tame to me and sort of like oddly like emotional
Speaker 3: and like this angsty.
Speaker 2: Way, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like it was like, just let it out, guys fight
Speaker 3: each other, and it's said it was like a lot
Speaker 3: of just like possible.
Speaker 1: Well, I will definitely say it took jay Uso twenty
Speaker 1: five minutes to get into the ring. His entrance music
Speaker 1: and this if there were sixty one thousand people.
Speaker 3: There the last fight. The entrance was like a forty
Speaker 3: five minutes set up the milk.
Speaker 4: They can't milk a walk We'll.
Speaker 2: Literally see him punk on it.
Speaker 3: When he finally got introduced and walked in, Indy turned
Speaker 3: to me and Alex were like, I thought he already
Speaker 3: walked in because everybody had stood up so we couldn't see, right,
Speaker 3: And they had the pre roll for his pre entrance
Speaker 3: showed images of him walking in, so they.
Speaker 2: Were like, wait, he hasn't walked in yet, right, It
Speaker 2: hasn't even started to.
Speaker 1: Get The spectacle is massive, it really is.
Speaker 4: I have to say one thing about tonight and see
Speaker 4: it because writers are talking about Cmpunk's walking in. That
Speaker 4: was very special for me to watch that because the
Speaker 4: tape I listened to driving down from Connecticut on the
Speaker 4: bus for three hours going to New York to audition,
Speaker 4: over and over and over again to the point where
Speaker 4: I literally wore it out was living color.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: And so they were there singing his entrance live Yes,
Speaker 4: and it was like I was eleven years old again.
Speaker 2: On the bus.
Speaker 4: I would just listen to it over and over and over,
Speaker 4: and I was like, it's living color. It was really
Speaker 4: cool for that was a cool moment.
Speaker 1: That was really fun. Okay, so our second match of
Speaker 1: the night was New Day.
Speaker 4: New Days Day. We've told them that to their face.
Speaker 2: I actually really like.
Speaker 3: Missed their interest because I went and got a giant
Speaker 3: hot dog three Yeah, but I only ate water.
Speaker 2: I'm still full enormous in six hours since they're crazy.
Speaker 3: But when I came back in, they were already fighting,
Speaker 3: so I missed their intro.
Speaker 1: New Day was no, No, they're great there. So their
Speaker 1: their storyline, Yes, they're amazing. Their storyline was that they
Speaker 1: turned on the third member of their group, Biggie, and
Speaker 1: Biggie is beloved and so they so now the new
Speaker 1: thing is new Days, New Days up.
Speaker 3: And it was so funny because the audience was so
Speaker 3: much less into that match than they were in the
Speaker 3: first match. But I was sitting there going, this is
Speaker 3: such a better fight.
Speaker 2: There's more happening. There's so much athleticism, Like they were
Speaker 2: really like good, that's.
Speaker 1: War Raiders.
Speaker 4: So the war Raiders that because one of the guys
Speaker 4: was very it was a large dude, like a dude.
Speaker 4: He was flipping around. It was crazy.
Speaker 2: That's when I was like, Okay, this is the wrestling.
Speaker 2: I kind of hoped for it.
Speaker 1: That's what I missed in the first match.
Speaker 3: That kind of like action and of course there's four
Speaker 3: of them, so it's more stuff going on. But that
Speaker 3: was way better to me, and then the rest of
Speaker 3: the night it stayed at that level.
Speaker 4: It seems a little like the rules are a bit
Speaker 4: willingly when it comes to the tag team.
Speaker 3: Four people in there, two of them kept fighting one
Speaker 3: of that that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Will I was like, aren't they supposed to only be
Speaker 2: like that's a good mess.
Speaker 4: I feel like the refs maybe are more there to
Speaker 4: just be part of the show actually ref the match.
Speaker 4: It seems like there's some breaking of the.
Speaker 2: Rules, amusing rules and quotes see chair gets.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, they're cleaning off tables. And my favorite is
Speaker 4: when it'll be like a tag team match and one
Speaker 4: the refer walk up and be holding one guy like
Speaker 4: in one corner, going like, don't do that. Where meanwhile,
Speaker 4: five feet behind him, the other guy still beating.
Speaker 2: Somebody in my chair.
Speaker 4: So it's like, I need you to stop. Stop.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So when you're at home watching it, you hear an
Speaker 3: announcer yes, yes, okay, kind of. One of it's interesting
Speaker 3: when you're in the room because it's quietest during a
Speaker 3: match and you can't hear We were far enough away
Speaker 3: that I couldn't hear anything, you know, other than the
Speaker 3: big the big slams, and I was kind of it
Speaker 3: was like strangely anti.
Speaker 4: Actually yeah, when I don't. I haven't watched one at
Speaker 4: home in a very long time. You hear when you're
Speaker 4: at home, also what the wrestlers are saying to each other.
Speaker 1: Some times, but you're not supposed to. That's only like
Speaker 1: if a camera and of Mike happened to be nearby
Speaker 1: and catch one, but they're.
Speaker 3: Like yelling, you'd see them yelling at each other, and
Speaker 3: I was like, well, I can't hear them, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: And you're not supposed to. It's supposed to be like yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of times that's in quiet moments,
Speaker 1: they're actually talking about how they're feeling, what they do this,
Speaker 1: giving each other cues, yes, giving each other cues.
Speaker 3: I like, my I would kind of want to see
Speaker 3: like a really small wrestling match.
Speaker 2: Now I want to go, like where I can.
Speaker 3: I want to watch, like I want to watch them
Speaker 3: stay in character and like what they're saying to each
Speaker 3: other being part.
Speaker 2: Of it, because like this was so big. Yes, it
Speaker 2: felt very I felt very far away.
Speaker 3: I felt removed from the action, you know, and and
Speaker 3: and yet I couldn't hear the comment commentator, so I
Speaker 3: didn't get that.
Speaker 2: Like to help me, I don't know. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: It is a pageant though, I mean, man, with the
Speaker 4: the intro explosions going off and the music pumping, and
Speaker 4: it's it's real the crowd that the crowd is his
Speaker 4: own character, so everybody knows what to chant and when,
Speaker 4: and it's they're doing the same kind of hand gestures
Speaker 4: and all this stuff. It's really it's it's it's something,
Speaker 4: it really is.
Speaker 1: The third match of the night had my favorite package,
Speaker 1: which was the Jade Cargill Naomi fight that had that
Speaker 1: incredible background story about Jade Cargill being injured on top
Speaker 1: of the car.
Speaker 2: Hard to keep up with the hard to keep up with,
Speaker 2: like who got murdered? Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, No, I don't think it's an actual murder, murdered
Speaker 3: an attack.
Speaker 2: I think she's okay.
Speaker 4: So wait, let me understand if I got it right,
Speaker 4: because I was explaining it to write her, but I
Speaker 4: wasn't sure I got the story right. Jade got beaten
Speaker 4: up and they found her and they didn't know who
Speaker 4: beat her up. Yes, she had a partner that she
Speaker 4: would often tag team with. They obviously came to the
Speaker 4: partner and said, well, your partner is down for the count.
Speaker 4: We can't let you wrestle. Somebody else came up and said,
Speaker 4: you know what, I'll wrestle with you. Wow. And then
Speaker 4: they came to them and said, well, wait, we found
Speaker 4: out who actually did it, and it looked like it
Speaker 4: was live and somebody else that had performed the you know.
Speaker 4: So then Jade gets back into it, but it turns
Speaker 4: out it was actually the girl who volunteered to wrestle rack.
Speaker 4: So I followed it.
Speaker 1: You followed up to the.
Speaker 4: Yes, Okay, that's what I thought of, and that's even
Speaker 4: I by the end was like, but it.
Speaker 1: Was her, yes, exactly, yes, So that's what this crazy,
Speaker 1: crazy match was about. We, I mean, the two of them.
Speaker 1: Naomi is someone I have been a fan of for
Speaker 1: a very long time. She's incredibly athletic. Her skills have
Speaker 1: only improved over the years. She's gotten better and better.
Speaker 1: And Jade is the person Mark Henry mentioned to us
Speaker 1: as being his favorite female to watch, that she had
Speaker 1: to be a superhero, is like a real life superhero,
Speaker 1: which led.
Speaker 2: Me to this question that I asked Will, which is like, what.
Speaker 3: If they actually involved like superpowers, like and and then
Speaker 3: I realized, like they can't write, like there's something about
Speaker 3: the wrestling that still.
Speaker 1: Needs to be based in reality.
Speaker 2: Real like it has to be physically.
Speaker 1: Magical, right, but it would be kind.
Speaker 3: Of cool, like it could there be like a whole
Speaker 3: nother wrestling Harry Potter superheroin.
Speaker 1: Penta is doing. What isn't that kind of what Penta
Speaker 1: is doing? I don't even know what Penta is is
Speaker 1: one of the wrestlers. He wasn't there.
Speaker 2: Street Yeah, like a whole league where like they have
Speaker 2: actual weapons.
Speaker 1: The Undertaker, I go Undertaker, I think, yeah, something light
Speaker 1: came out.
Speaker 3: The whole thing was like these are characters, these are
Speaker 3: superheroes with like superpowers, and that one came in with
Speaker 3: their own power and then you did like special effects on.
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, think about the Harry Potter
Speaker 4: and the curse of this what I mean that that's
Speaker 4: what I was thinking with those.
Speaker 3: Like pyrotechnics literally or or is it like does it
Speaker 3: ruin it because it's too far in the illusion direction?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? Like I wonder because
Speaker 2: there's there's all there is.
Speaker 4: It's WWE from another another universe, right, I mean that's
Speaker 4: what you do.
Speaker 1: It's total spin off. Yeah, but I think like for
Speaker 1: the most part, this is more MMA focused.
Speaker 3: It has to have that level, like you have to
Speaker 3: kind of believe that at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: these people really did beat each other up or not, because.
Speaker 2: That's the ultimate.
Speaker 4: Okay, So, Producer Jensen, I know that you have been
Speaker 4: obviously the biggest wrestling fan amongst all of us for
Speaker 4: a much longer period of time. I noticed tonight because
Speaker 4: I am a big mm A fan that there are
Speaker 4: moves like the guillotine and rear naked chokes and stuff
Speaker 4: like that. Was that always part of wrestling? Did you
Speaker 4: have that in the eighties too, or are they doing
Speaker 4: more of that now that the MMA has become so popular.
Speaker 5: So Roman Greco wrestling was more around in the eighties
Speaker 5: nineties that you saw like the souplex and whatever. Then
Speaker 5: when MMA took over and wrestlers started to get into
Speaker 5: it and become kind of MMA dudes themselves by going
Speaker 5: to like, you know, different karate lessons, et cetera, then yes,
Speaker 5: now you see all the rear chokes and all this
Speaker 5: stuff like that more in the last ten years.
Speaker 4: So okay, So because I saw there's one fight that
Speaker 4: ended tonight with a tap with a tap out, is
Speaker 4: that a new thing tapping out in wrestling? No?
Speaker 5: Tapouts have been for a long time. There was the
Speaker 5: sharpshooter Brett Hart. Okay, So there's moves that have always
Speaker 5: got people to tap out, but no, it's obviously much
Speaker 5: more in the culture. And that's why you don't see
Speaker 5: Harry Potter, And that's why you don't see it's because
Speaker 5: they they are considered or considering themselves part of the
Speaker 5: Mma family. Gotcha, they're owned by the same people you
Speaker 5: have seen it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in WW gosh, I feel like there was a
Speaker 3: lot more hidden than I thought.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, no, that's before.
Speaker 3: That's always been far wrestling as like the big moves,
Speaker 3: like the big ropes and the bouncing.
Speaker 1: Those are truly these are the down times. That's like
Speaker 1: when you're in yoga and you get to do a
Speaker 1: downward dog and you're like, this is my rest. Totally,
Speaker 1: that's their rest, right. If they were just doing tons
Speaker 1: of big moves all the time, they'd be out of breath,
Speaker 1: they'd be exhausted, they'd be dizzy. So they take you know,
Speaker 1: the rest.
Speaker 2: Okay, I and Jensen, you have to answer this question now.
Speaker 3: Has anybody ever just like started a match and been
Speaker 3: pinned within like thirty seconds?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And our friend Chelsea Green is a good example
Speaker 5: of it. Who was in the World Rumble match, which
Speaker 5: is thirty competitors come out over like two minute intervals.
Speaker 5: She ran out, she jumped up on the ropes and
Speaker 5: then someone pushed her out. She was out the quickest
Speaker 5: removal ever, so second then sentence and I went to
Speaker 5: a wrestlman of years and years ago. My memory is garbage,
Speaker 5: but there was a really fast, like twenty second match.
Speaker 5: Tops guy runs out, gets kicked in the face of
Speaker 5: the boots, ends at one, two three. So it's happened
Speaker 5: many times. Okay, we didn't see any tonight, but it happens.
Speaker 3: Because I just you know, I was talking to Wil
Speaker 3: I was like, what is the like the three X
Speaker 3: structure of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, because they are they are very structures.
Speaker 1: And like he's very excitedly.
Speaker 5: Okay, So as a former writer of ww Wrestling in
Speaker 5: two thousand and five, this is my twenty years reunion.
Speaker 5: There is a way that the heel gets on top
Speaker 5: of it for a while. You get the booze, You
Speaker 5: get that time when he looks up and stairs at
Speaker 5: the audience of the audience booze. And then there's the comeback,
Speaker 5: which is where the good guy obviously starts to come
Speaker 5: back in a win. You see that, and then that's
Speaker 5: the whole co mania.
Speaker 2: Remember when he.
Speaker 4: Used to like he used to like shake or do this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, not too but he used to like shake up
Speaker 5: like he would get put in a sleeperhole. They put
Speaker 5: his arm up one two, and then on the third
Speaker 5: one hold up and then and then he'd starts shaking. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's like the comeback, and so like then you're now
Speaker 5: you're rooting for the good guy. And then the final
Speaker 5: act is basically how it w end. Will the comeback
Speaker 5: turn into a win? They'll get the heel again to go,
Speaker 5: you know, to have one more moment there, and then
Speaker 5: the good guy would win or the bad guy win.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I also I also like one two always, why do
Speaker 3: they why can't they break the pin on one?
Speaker 4: Because there's they always break because you always cut the
Speaker 4: wire with two seconds left in the bottom sixty two
Speaker 4: seconds left.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make it. But the fact that there was
Speaker 2: no variation tonight, like there.
Speaker 1: Was there was one where someone got out on a one.
Speaker 4: We saw that because we were like one, yeah, in
Speaker 4: the final match.
Speaker 1: In the final match, there was there was one where
Speaker 1: someone on a one. Roman Reigns was out.
Speaker 2: Good okay, because I was like, you got to break
Speaker 2: this clicheance.
Speaker 1: So we have the w W Women's Championship. The winner,
Speaker 1: Tiffany Stratton, kept her belt again.
Speaker 4: Pod friend, I'd like to say friend of.
Speaker 1: The friend of the friend of the pod, friend of
Speaker 1: the pod.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not our champion.
Speaker 1: We're still still our champion. Live is our pod meets
Speaker 1: world Champion? Yeah, what did you guys think of that match?
Speaker 2: The best fight of the night, best fight of the night.
Speaker 2: For me, it was the most fun to watch. I
Speaker 2: like both their characters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, well.
Speaker 3: Interestingly, I kind of both of their characters are like
Speaker 3: not my style, Like I was definitely right.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, Tiffany has like the she's
Speaker 2: got the early girl.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my style I kind of like, but but they're
Speaker 3: both like they both kind of seemed like heels to me,
Speaker 3: like I was both. But it was a great fight
Speaker 3: and so like Tiffany's gymnastics came out.
Speaker 4: Yeah see that the audience did.
Speaker 2: Not like Charlotte Flair no, because yeah, but it was fun.
Speaker 2: I got that. For me, it was the most fun
Speaker 2: of the night.
Speaker 4: Like, I don't disagree.
Speaker 2: I really liked that fight.
Speaker 4: I did. I thought I did. I thought it was again.
Speaker 4: I thought the best person I saw all night was
Speaker 4: was Jade. Yeah, who to me looked like she should
Speaker 4: be cast in a Conan movie, should be cast as
Speaker 4: one of the X Men. I mean, it was like
Speaker 4: you could you built a like I said, a superhero.
Speaker 4: It was amazing to watch it. The white hair, yeah,
Speaker 4: and it was perfect. Entrance was great and it was
Speaker 4: just so cool. But other than that, the best fight
Speaker 4: I don't disagree was this Charlotte Flair fight.
Speaker 2: I thought it was incredible, incredible, and so the last
Speaker 2: fight was attitude of perfect.
Speaker 3: And also it went on like it got to this
Speaker 3: point where they were both like lyne and I feel
Speaker 3: like there's a lot of the like, you know, I'm
Speaker 3: exhausted with them.
Speaker 2: I was like, they're really exhausted.
Speaker 3: They should they should be because this is this It
Speaker 3: felt like it just felt like they were working so hard,
Speaker 3: and I was really impressed with both of them.
Speaker 2: I was like totally into it.
Speaker 4: I would say that I don't know who trains wrestlers,
Speaker 4: but there's a very big problem that they need to address,
Speaker 4: which is not a single wrestler ever even attempts a block.
Speaker 1: I know you did say that.
Speaker 3: If you just what your hands was somebody blocked. I
Speaker 3: remember somebody blocking the encounter.
Speaker 1: There's no blocking when they when they were when punkin,
Speaker 1: was it Roman who or maybe it was Seth who
Speaker 1: was punching each other hitting each other in the face,
Speaker 1: back and forth. It was like, now it's your turn.
Speaker 1: They just kept trading punches. It's like you know what's coming.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could just put up this hand and then
Speaker 4: everything might get better with.
Speaker 2: The two blonde ladies too.
Speaker 3: I was also like, that hair is a real liabil,
Speaker 3: Like you would never actually let that hair fly, but
Speaker 3: it looks dramatic.
Speaker 1: Put your hair in a braid.
Speaker 4: God, but that also shows what when she was talking
Speaker 4: about the hair matches where you have hair like that
Speaker 4: and then they shave it at the end, if you
Speaker 4: use that's crazy.
Speaker 1: We saw l A. Knight against Jacob Fatu. That was
Speaker 1: a really l A Knights guy came out in the car.
Speaker 2: Yeah he was.
Speaker 4: He was the fan of the audience certainly, like he
Speaker 4: was the one they wanted to win.
Speaker 2: So was he not?
Speaker 1: I mean I felt like people were really cheering for Jacob.
Speaker 1: I really thought, like, who was the heel in that situation?
Speaker 1: Good question, Jacob Jacob.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jacobo's the heel there, but a cool heel. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: so a little different people.
Speaker 3: I kind of thought he was one of the better
Speaker 3: actors to yeah scaring hinge. Like I was like this
Speaker 3: guy is really committed. I've never seen I didn't, you know,
Speaker 3: I never heard him speak, but I was like, this guy,
Speaker 3: I'd like to see this guy in a movie. Like
Speaker 3: this guy acting.
Speaker 4: You leaned over to me and you're like, he's growling.
Speaker 4: I think he's growling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're you know, you're going for it, man.
Speaker 2: He was great.
Speaker 1: Also worth mentioning the first three matches of the night,
Speaker 1: there were belt turnovers that the person hold you know,
Speaker 1: trying to keep their belt lost it.
Speaker 4: The only person who kept their belt all night was Tiffany.
Speaker 1: Tiffany, it's exactly right. And then that brings us to
Speaker 1: the very last match of the evening, which was a
Speaker 1: three way match between seth Rawlins, CM Punk and Roman Reigns.
Speaker 1: Really incredible athleticism.
Speaker 4: And choreography of choreography.
Speaker 1: You got a lot of great audience chants. There was
Speaker 1: we want tables and that's they wanted somebody going through it.
Speaker 4: And then they did it and they got out. It
Speaker 4: was clear that later in the match that was supposed
Speaker 4: to happen, but Roman Reigns heard the chance, walked over
Speaker 4: to a table. You could tell he was like, all right,
Speaker 4: I'll go with this, Like this doesn't happen right now
Speaker 4: in the match, but if they want me to walk
Speaker 4: over and just clear one off in the place, place
Speaker 4: of place, And you could tell that was kind of
Speaker 4: him just listening to the audience and be like, all right,
Speaker 4: let's so. It was really cool to hear how he
Speaker 4: can stay in characters, stay on beat, but add something
Speaker 4: to then go with the sun high like.
Speaker 1: Challenge you with one thing. But I bet it was
Speaker 1: part of it. You think two people went through two
Speaker 1: different tables, both tables eventually needed to get cleared, and
Speaker 1: you think.
Speaker 4: You think it was supposed to happen, all do it here.
Speaker 1: Even if the chant didn't happen, the audience was just
Speaker 1: one step ahead of what they were doing. And I
Speaker 1: bet he was going to do that anyway. I bet
Speaker 1: that was part of it, so that they had two
Speaker 1: cleared off tables because it was sunk.
Speaker 3: And the thought that I had about Our Boy World
Speaker 3: episode was like, really kind of messed up that we
Speaker 3: did two takes?
Speaker 2: Yes, so messed up.
Speaker 3: We've ruined We've ruined wrestling for a night. Yeah, what crap,
Speaker 3: we should not have done that.
Speaker 2: No, I don't care, like figure.
Speaker 1: It out, like you gotta use it.
Speaker 3: Jeff McCracken, I have words like he really he asserted
Speaker 3: Boy meets World reality over the wrestling, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: that sucks.
Speaker 4: That well, that's why apparently.
Speaker 2: Because it was like this we had so we did
Speaker 2: it twice. We made the whole.
Speaker 1: Audience participate in TV show tape.
Speaker 2: Yeah bummer. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Because when I was watching tonight and they were like,
Speaker 3: we're gonna start the match over again, it would be
Speaker 3: like the biggest violation.
Speaker 2: Of what we're here for.
Speaker 4: I'd be yelling Boy meets World sucks too at that point,
Speaker 4: because it is it's taking you completely, yeah, completely out
Speaker 4: of the match. I imagine in the middle of us
Speaker 4: shooting our show, in the middle of a scene, they
Speaker 4: decided to also shoot part of a family matters and
Speaker 4: they're like, you guys need to start over because we
Speaker 4: messed up our Yeah.
Speaker 2: Not cool, really not cool. Actually, like it.
Speaker 3: Was like it was like this would be so awful.
Speaker 1: I love that you actually thought of that there, and
Speaker 1: we're like, I'm gonna put myself in their shoes. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is bad for the.
Speaker 2: Performers and for the audience. Not cool.
Speaker 3: It's not like and like also like we could have
Speaker 3: done it afterwards, I feel like if it was a
Speaker 3: shot is because issue like Jeff McCracken must have not
Speaker 3: gotten something he needed. Yes, because I don't think it
Speaker 3: was performance based. But then to make them redo part
Speaker 3: of the fight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not cool. Not cool. I also want to say,
Speaker 4: I think I said this the last time after raw
Speaker 4: and now this is my second time, and it's it's
Speaker 4: absolutely one hundred percent because I'm such a nerd. I
Speaker 4: love different nerdoms, uh and fandoms. The fans are incredible.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they're the nicest people. They're all in on
Speaker 4: each other, they're chanting at the same time, they're cool
Speaker 4: next to each other. It's it was great.
Speaker 2: I mean once again all the fans.
Speaker 1: Will was recognized left and right.
Speaker 4: I think we because Will was sitting next to Danielle
Speaker 4: Fishing official left and right. So yes, it's hard not
Speaker 4: to recognize.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think that's it. I think you have
Speaker 1: to stop saying you never get recognized again.
Speaker 2: Let's put I will put it this way.
Speaker 4: You're right, I definitely get recognized when I'm with you.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's your one hundred percent correct.
Speaker 1: We would be really failing our audience if we didn't
Speaker 1: talk about the ending of the main event, big, big
Speaker 1: spoiler alert. If you if you are there again, you
Speaker 1: don't want to know the ending of the main event,
Speaker 1: then turn it off right now, GIP or turn us off.
Speaker 1: But Paul Hayman, who has known Roman Reigns and Sumpunk
Speaker 1: for twenty plus years, it's your whole career, is right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: has been involved from the ground up with both of them.
Speaker 1: And it was a big thing. Oh, who's he gonna
Speaker 1: be with He's he gonna go with Roman? Is he
Speaker 1: gonna go with them Punk? And it looked like for
Speaker 1: sure he had chosen Punk, And I don't think it
Speaker 1: was really on the bingo card that he was gonna
Speaker 1: turn on Punk, but he did. He turned on Punk.
Speaker 1: He handed a chair to Punk to use on Roman reins,
Speaker 1: and then right when Punk raised the chair, Paul assaulted
Speaker 1: CM Punk between the legs, which knocked CM Punk to
Speaker 1: the ground. And then Paul took the chair and he
Speaker 1: handed it to Roman, and it was like, oh, Man
Speaker 1: gone back with Roman. Wow, this whole thing was a ruse.
Speaker 1: He's not you'll switcheroo. But then Roman picked up the
Speaker 1: chair and Paul did the same thing to him. Room
Speaker 1: double insulted injury.
Speaker 2: Double switcher room my friend.
Speaker 1: He is now partnered and paired up with the seth Rawlins,
Speaker 1: who was the winner of the match, but.
Speaker 2: Not the winner of WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: No, no, there's not no there he did. They actually
Speaker 1: didn't even win a belt. That wasn't for it, that
Speaker 1: wasn't for a championship belt.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: Ryder brings up a good question.
Speaker 4: So this is a two night event tomorrow, is there
Speaker 4: a WrestleMania champion, like somebody wins just WRESTLEMANI tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Is John Cena versus Cody Rhodes.
Speaker 4: Right, But that's for a belt. That's for a belt
Speaker 4: that's not that's not WrestleMania champion.
Speaker 1: But it's still kind of WrestleMania champion. John Cena's whole
Speaker 1: thing this is, you know, John Cena's had the biggest
Speaker 1: heel turn of all time. We've talked about it a
Speaker 1: little bit in some of our interviews. He's been the
Speaker 1: number one babyface, the baby and now not only is
Speaker 1: he a heel to wrestlers, he's even a heel to
Speaker 1: the fans. He's just pissed and his big thing has
Speaker 1: been I am coming back to win WrestleMania and then
Speaker 1: I'm leaving forever. And I am just curious if that's
Speaker 1: if it's true, it's true, and if he wins tomorrow,
Speaker 1: is there a bigger heel thing than saying I've lied
Speaker 1: to all of you. I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 4: I'm your It's seriously the emperor from Star Wars, who's
Speaker 4: not going to sit on his throat exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm now the king.
Speaker 4: So for the record, I've beaten John Cena.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, you heard me.
Speaker 4: I've beaten Johnson beaten John Cena and what well the
Speaker 4: only thing we would go up against each other for
Speaker 4: a role. And so he apparently auditioned to play ron Stoppable?
Speaker 2: Possible?
Speaker 1: What really? Pipe and hot tea?
Speaker 4: The rumor is apparently John Cena auditioned to play ron
Speaker 4: Stoppable and I kicked his ass. Wow?
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, that's all I got. I dare you to
Speaker 1: say that.
Speaker 4: I would be happy to say it to his face.
Speaker 4: By the way, if that is not true, then I'm sorry, okay,
Speaker 4: and I will do whatever he needs so he doesn't
Speaker 4: hit me in the face. I like this, and I
Speaker 4: think that's fair.
Speaker 1: I like this for sure. Yeah, who were you hoping
Speaker 1: was going to win the main event between Roman Reigns,
Speaker 1: seth Rawlins and CM Punk.
Speaker 4: You know me in loyalty, Yeah, and you guys brought
Speaker 4: me into the wrestling world, and you guys are all
Speaker 4: big CM punk fans were. So if you're all in
Speaker 4: for Punk and we're all family, then I'm I'm rooting
Speaker 4: for Punk too. So I was hoping that your friend
Speaker 4: CM punk was was going to win.
Speaker 1: Yeah. This was the biggest night of Cmpunk's life.
Speaker 2: And one he'd been working.
Speaker 4: Seeing his opening package.
Speaker 1: Right where you see how young he was.
Speaker 4: Seeing his package is something I wish I didn't say,
Speaker 4: but seeing the video they put on.
Speaker 1: The video pack, how long he'd been there.
Speaker 4: How young he was, how different he looked, amazing, really amazing, how.
Speaker 2: A big package.
Speaker 1: Truly a career in the making. It has always been
Speaker 1: his number one dream, like a lot of people, like
Speaker 1: a lot of wrestlers, to main main event WrestleMania, and
Speaker 1: uh he last year got injured and this year was
Speaker 1: able to do it. I really did think Punk was
Speaker 1: gonna win. I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 4: I think most people thought Pink was going to win,
Speaker 4: which is why he couldn't. Because if you get in
Speaker 4: there and you've got ninety percent of the audience thinking
Speaker 4: one guy is gonna win. They got it.
Speaker 2: They can't let that guy win.
Speaker 4: He's got to be because, again going in in my
Speaker 4: head with the very little I know about wrestling, it
Speaker 4: was Roman Reigns and then CM Punk. One of those
Speaker 4: guys had to win, and then there was the third guy.
Speaker 4: So then halfway through a like, oh, they're gonna give
Speaker 4: it to the third guy. Yeah, they're gonna give it's
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, Pete Best is the best beatle
Speaker 4: out of nowhere, and so that's about halfway through. It
Speaker 4: was like, they're gonna give it to the guy that
Speaker 4: nobody thinks is gonna win, and I don't know how
Speaker 4: they're gonna get there, but that's gonna be their end game.
Speaker 4: I kind of figured that was the way it was
Speaker 4: gonna happen because it'll be a great challenge.
Speaker 1: A great little round.
Speaker 4: Now a question for rules, because it's a it's a
Speaker 4: three person match, so it's all three of them against
Speaker 4: each other.
Speaker 1: First pin, yeah, first with yeah, so could.
Speaker 4: Two guys gang up on a third and both of
Speaker 4: them pin, just hold down one guy and just pin them?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: But then you wouldn't work They're not the winner then,
Speaker 5: But then you can work together and then make the
Speaker 5: guy think you're gonna do something like that, then beat
Speaker 5: him up and then pin someone. You would always want
Speaker 5: to be the one.
Speaker 4: Right, but you two guys can work together and tie.
Speaker 5: No, you would never want that. You never want to
Speaker 5: take a tie, right.
Speaker 1: You want to be the one.
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 1: Uh, overall thoughts? You know, I'm going to go first
Speaker 1: with overall thoughts, I think hearing what writer said, I
Speaker 1: think that's a very valid point that WrestleMania is the
Speaker 1: biggest and grandest, most detailed situation you could possibly find
Speaker 1: yourself in. That if you're going to try to get
Speaker 1: someone into wrestling, maybe don't bring them to the biggest event. First,
Speaker 1: get them in on the ground floor, getting to know
Speaker 1: the characters a little bit. So I think maybe we
Speaker 1: did you a little bit of a disservice by having
Speaker 1: WrestleMania be your first. But would you go to another
Speaker 1: wrestling event? Were your overall thoughts? Writer, I'd like to.
Speaker 2: Go to a smaller one for sure, and I'd like
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 3: I always I always get overwhelmed when there's lore that
Speaker 3: I don't know, right, right, Like I've always been intimidated
Speaker 3: to like get into stuff like this is why I
Speaker 3: never got into comic books.
Speaker 2: This is sue with Yeah, I never as a.
Speaker 3: Kid, I could never start comic books because I was
Speaker 3: always like I don't know which X men to get
Speaker 3: into to start, you know, and like now and nowadays,
Speaker 3: I feel like there's like guides on the internet, so
Speaker 3: I could probably do it, like you could find the primer.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I was a little like overwhelmed and
Speaker 3: like I'm immediately like this is so I don't know
Speaker 3: what what the answer to that would be for me,
Speaker 3: but you know, ultimately, like I do think that the culture,
Speaker 3: like even though I can appreciate the storytelling and the
Speaker 3: athleticism and like the fact of these characters and the
Speaker 3: depth of this like world, I'm not sure it's all
Speaker 3: for me, you know what I mean. Like it's just not,
Speaker 3: like I said, it's sort of like it's a pseudo
Speaker 3: sporting event. I don't like sporting.
Speaker 2: Events to begin with.
Speaker 3: So even even if like the fiction is developed and
Speaker 3: interesting and it's still kind of ultimately about people beating
Speaker 3: each other up, which is like not really my thing.
Speaker 2: So like you know, or like I don't so ultimately,
Speaker 2: like I don't know.
Speaker 3: But if I could see like the introduction of a
Speaker 3: new character and like be there for their first fight,
Speaker 3: or like, I don't know, something that would be kind
Speaker 3: of like the indie way in maybe i'd be into it,
Speaker 3: you know, or like definitely a smaller match, like being
Speaker 3: closer to the action and like watching the people do
Speaker 3: their thing and being able to hear them talk, or
Speaker 3: I don't know, something like that would be kind of
Speaker 3: they'd probably.
Speaker 2: Be better for me.
Speaker 1: Well what about you? What do you think? You've now
Speaker 1: been to two wrestling events Raw, the first one ever
Speaker 1: on Netflix and then.
Speaker 4: And then I don't disagree with Ryder in certain ways,
Speaker 4: I am I Again, Susan is exactly the same way.
Speaker 4: And one of the things she hates more than anything
Speaker 4: is when I drag her one of these Marvel movies
Speaker 4: or something like that and somebody comes on the screen
Speaker 4: and I go, oh, yeah, and she's like, what the
Speaker 4: hell does that mean? She doesn't like that, And I
Speaker 4: can see why people tune out with that. I thought
Speaker 4: I had more fun at RAW because the venue was
Speaker 4: smaller and we had much closer seats. Yeah, so it
Speaker 4: was like we were part of the action at raw
Speaker 4: was very close to me. They were throwing wrestlers literally
Speaker 4: five feet from us at row, which obviously makes your
Speaker 4: experience different.
Speaker 1: Sitting side is yeah.
Speaker 4: That being said, I am a nerd and I love fandoms.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 4: I just love fandoms. I love the languages that are
Speaker 4: involved in that. Everybody's got it. They all have their
Speaker 4: own cultures, they all have their own norms, they all
Speaker 4: have their own dress codes, they all and I love
Speaker 4: learning new ones. Microworlds are like my favorite thing. So
Speaker 4: going to these and learning the world and today I
Speaker 4: had already. While I certainly am not fluent, I was
Speaker 4: conversational in wrestling totally to where now that I was there,
Speaker 4: I knew who to root for a little bit, I
Speaker 4: knew some of the hand gestures to do. I knew
Speaker 4: when to chan and when not to chan, and when
Speaker 4: to boo and when not to boo. So picking that
Speaker 4: stuff up was great. And and sitting next to Rider,
Speaker 4: who had three of the biggest hot dogs ever. I'm
Speaker 4: always one no, but I'm just saying, I'm your fan
Speaker 4: of giant hot dogs. I am a fan of big
Speaker 4: giant hot dogs and mega packages, Mega but no, so
Speaker 4: I again, I liked it. I would definitely go to
Speaker 4: another one. I preferred it in the smaller venue than
Speaker 4: the big giant Venueah, but that's just me. That's for
Speaker 4: most things I prefer. I don't go to a lot
Speaker 4: of concerts, but I much prefer being at a place
Speaker 4: that seats one hundred and thirty five people to listen
Speaker 4: to music then in place that seats one hundred and
Speaker 4: thirty five thousands. So I think I kind of agree
Speaker 4: with Rider there. But I like the nerdom and I
Speaker 4: really love the fans, so I'm yeah, I'm in. Well
Speaker 4: do I will I go home and watch it all
Speaker 4: the time?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Probably not, but I'll follow it enough to where when
Speaker 4: we go to another one, and I hope we do,
Speaker 4: I will stay conversational in wrestling, and I think that's
Speaker 4: a that's a fun way to do it. I also
Speaker 4: have an idea for writer to get into the world
Speaker 4: if he were allowed to fully create a character for
Speaker 4: a wrestler, like backstory, everything, yeah, and then apply it
Speaker 4: to that wrestler and then develop it to the point
Speaker 4: where you work on it the wrestler and then you
Speaker 4: get to go see them him or her. Winner lose
Speaker 4: their first match. I think you'd be in hook Latin sinker.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Is there like a fantasy football league, like for
Speaker 2: like is there a way to play? I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that'd be cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think fund ofment, you know, going
Speaker 3: back to that advice of like don't overanalyze it.
Speaker 2: I like overanalyzing things I do. Like that's what I
Speaker 2: like about books.
Speaker 3: It's like you get with it over and like even
Speaker 3: like music, like the music I like tends to be
Speaker 3: the stuff that like the lyrics are take you five what.
Speaker 1: We do with our podcast exactly, it's my dream.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like I go to a concert, I'm fine, Like
Speaker 3: I want to sit down and just enjoy the concert,
Speaker 3: you know, like in that over analysis mode. So like
Speaker 3: this sort of like I mean the sporting events or
Speaker 3: not that, like sporting events are.
Speaker 2: Like live in the moment, see it happened, Like this.
Speaker 3: Is not my style, Like I'm just never going to
Speaker 3: be that person who's like fully into that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So well, totally fair. I had I had a blast
Speaker 1: with both of you.
Speaker 4: What were your thoughts on WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: I thought WrestleMania was great. I thought there was some lulls.
Speaker 1: I found there to be some lulls.
Speaker 2: I'm the first match was amazing.
Speaker 1: I well, part of the reason I thought the first
Speaker 1: match was amazing is because my son Adler is a
Speaker 1: big jay Uso fan, okay, and so I am a
Speaker 1: j Uso fan. And to see, you know, I think
Speaker 1: that anytime you're in a crowd of sixty one thousand
Speaker 1: people and it appears as though fifty nine thousand of
Speaker 1: them are chanting the same thing, and they he is
Speaker 1: a superstar. And to watch him he was making his
Speaker 1: entrance all the directly across from where we were sitting.
Speaker 1: To see him make his entrance slowly down, I mean
Speaker 1: it definitely took a good twenty five minutes. It was
Speaker 1: a slow walk, but but it was everyone singing his
Speaker 1: song like I just love that. I love that kind
Speaker 1: of spectacle and boy is he over, you know, like
Speaker 1: he's just he's he's big time. So I thought that
Speaker 1: was really fun and so that carried that went far
Speaker 1: for me. But yeah, I thought there were some lulls.
Speaker 1: I actually didn't love the Tiffy Charlotte Flair match as
Speaker 1: much as you guys said that.
Speaker 4: You were saying that, you know, what I.
Speaker 1: Think I missed that I'll say for sure is different
Speaker 1: about WrestleMania than other wrestling events. I like the wrestlers
Speaker 1: on the mic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I wanted to. There were do that.
Speaker 1: They don't do that, and.
Speaker 2: So normally they do get to say something.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like yes, a lot of times.
Speaker 2: They was expecting that. I kind of wanted to, like.
Speaker 1: I want to see their personalities outside of just an entrance, yeah,
Speaker 1: or holding a bell.
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought I was just no. I don't know
Speaker 3: why I had that in my mind that there was
Speaker 3: going to be more of like.
Speaker 1: I wanted that. I thought that would have really I thought,
Speaker 1: if they could have cut the entrances down by half
Speaker 1: and given them some some real life stuff on the mic, Well.
Speaker 4: When did they stop? Because when I first saw wrestling
Speaker 4: as a kid, it was that bald guy with the
Speaker 4: mustache who would interview them all right before their matches
Speaker 4: and they're all going like, let me tell you something
Speaker 4: like yeah, And so they're cutting kind of slicker promost
Speaker 4: together where there's something about just doing the interview with
Speaker 4: the guy sweating and screaming like I can't wait to
Speaker 4: kill him in the ring tonight. Like, that's kind of cool,
Speaker 4: and I missed that.
Speaker 3: I have a very very weird memory that just came
Speaker 3: back to me. I'm not sure if we've talked about
Speaker 3: this in the podcast before, but do you remember the
Speaker 3: opening scene for the Boy Meets World script that you
Speaker 3: and I wrote together for during the first season of
Speaker 3: Boy Meets World.
Speaker 4: I remember lines from it.
Speaker 2: Do you remember what the well, I'm bringing it up
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 5: Of course, there's no way you're going to bring that up,
Speaker 5: and we're going to end the podcast quickly. So you
Speaker 5: should really think about this because there are people really
Speaker 5: want to know what your script too.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's just put it this way. We'll give you
Speaker 4: one line and we'll talk about it in pre show chatter.
Speaker 4: Let's get ready to thumble.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I can't believe it. You guys are
Speaker 1: so funny.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. We talked to April Kelly. I remember her.
Speaker 4: I think I was succeeed and you were thirteen, and
Speaker 4: we were like, we're gonna go write a scrip with.
Speaker 2: Stumble Ready stumble. Do you guys still have Oh god,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure it was handwritten.
Speaker 3: No, we were definitely on a computer, the first person
Speaker 3: I ever knew. Yeah, I either had movie magic or whatever.
Speaker 3: The screenwriting program was ready.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I want will I want you to talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about Brett Hart and Triple H.
Speaker 4: Okay, well it's just something, and again I could be
Speaker 4: totally wrong, but it's just something I noticed. So they
Speaker 4: were doing the inductee class. They're introducing the inductee class
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty five for the Hall of Fame for.
Speaker 1: The w W wh which happened last night, happened last night, and.
Speaker 4: There was you know, it was Stone called Steve Austin
Speaker 4: and Brett Hart for when they're both in already, but
Speaker 4: I guess this was for a specific match that they did,
Speaker 4: so that match was making it in. And there's a
Speaker 4: couple other wrestlers that were there that I hadn't heard of,
Speaker 4: our family members of wrestlers that were there because maybe
Speaker 4: they had passed away. And then it was Triple H
Speaker 4: and Triple H who also I think is married to
Speaker 4: mc Stephanie and essentially now runs the company.
Speaker 1: With her correct creative Yeah, he's are creative.
Speaker 4: Director or whatever. So he had this big entrance, like
Speaker 4: the rest of them are all kind of standing on
Speaker 4: stage and they did some very nice little packages. But
Speaker 4: then they he came out and it was like they
Speaker 4: like they were introing them like they did for one
Speaker 4: of the other.
Speaker 1: Wrestlers was introduced into.
Speaker 4: So big music all that stuff, and he walked down
Speaker 4: the aisle kind of shaking everybody's hand. The first person
Speaker 4: was Stone called Steve Boston, who shook his hand very politely,
Speaker 4: and the next was Brett Hart, and I swear to god,
Speaker 4: he shook his hand. Brett Hart. There's got to be
Speaker 4: footage of it. Brett Hart kind of like gave him
Speaker 4: a smirk, wasn't really looking, and then the second he
Speaker 4: walked away, he gave this look where it was just
Speaker 4: kind of like whatever, Like it looked like he did
Speaker 4: not like him or what had just happened or something.
Speaker 5: But there was wait, well, there's a very long history here,
Speaker 5: very long history. So Brett Hart, it has the most
Speaker 5: infamous problem with the WWE in the nineties and he
Speaker 5: got screwed. The reality became wrestling, Wrestling became reality.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, this is real life, this is
Speaker 4: not a bit.
Speaker 5: Well for w it was a bit, and then I'll
Speaker 5: get into the reality. There's a match. Brett Hart is
Speaker 5: leaving for the competition. They know it's going to happen.
Speaker 5: You're supposed to respectfully let them lose and leave. But
Speaker 5: Brett supposedly didn't want to lose. There was some sort
Speaker 5: of problem going on, and they just made him lose,
Speaker 5: like they count A referee counted two and then called
Speaker 5: it as three, and Brett learned he was losing the match.
Speaker 5: In the ring, he punched Vince McMahon, who was running
Speaker 5: the company at the time. Now luckily no longer punched
Speaker 5: him in the face at backstage. It was all very real.
Speaker 4: So on camera there's a punch in the face.
Speaker 5: Documentary crew got it. Wow, not from ww A and
Speaker 5: he played it years later. So, uh, that is Triple
Speaker 5: H's best friend. So Triple H's best friend, Shawn Michaels
Speaker 5: is the guy who basically beat him on a two
Speaker 5: count it and that was the the Vince McMahon became
Speaker 5: a bad guy, not only in real life, but a
Speaker 5: bad guy wrestler, a wrestler, right, so that he it
Speaker 5: became he was just like a normal announcer. And then
Speaker 5: now he screwed this dude over in real life and
Speaker 5: in wrestling and so that was so you saw something
Speaker 5: very ye that you noticed that that yeah, oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like that something's going on there because
Speaker 4: that guy just gave a weird face right when he
Speaker 4: walked away. See, there's so much history of weirdness.
