I shouldn't say one bit. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:07.520 I guess there were some things on it I thought 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.720 were pretty good, but in general, I think it was 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.920 probably the worst dynamite and I don't even know how long, 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.279 and there was some stuff that there was some stuff 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.240 that happened that caused things to happen.

Landstorm 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:25.640 is joining us here today. It's going on on Impact tonight. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.440 While I check something here. 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:34.840 We have I believe a sit down with Macklin and Santana, 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:42.440 the Nemmouth Brothers against the Righteous. There is a Elena 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:48.640 Black Jadas Stone match. What else is there? I believe 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:55.120 there's a Frankie Kazarian Hometown Man match, and I'm blanking 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.599 on what the other match would be, even though I 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.800 just email someone about it. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.400 All right, I needed you to install for me because 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:08.680 this story literally just came out this up here from 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:15.040 Brandon Thurston at Post Wrestling Base ten, a company backed 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:20.840 by aw owner Tony Kahn, placed a bid on WWE 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.720 when it was up for sale in twenty twenty three. 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.360 According to court filings, the merger and acquisition process, which 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.840 was ultimately won by Endeavor and created it TKOS, the 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:35.680 subject of an ongoing shareholder lawsuit. The complaint originally filed 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.000 in the Delaware Chancery Court in of ever twenty twenty 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:42.440 three has recently been redacted answers. Legal responses from the 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.920 defendants to each paragraph of the complaint have also been redacted. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.760 These responses deny various aspects of the lawsuit's allegations, but 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.600 firm the identity of the bidders, thereby disclosing the key 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.000 suitors for WWE when it was put up for sale 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.560 upon Vince McMahon's return of the company in January twenty 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.080 twenty three. The bidders were Formula one parent Liberty Media 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:09.640 and private equity firm KKR, Endeavor, and Yes, Tony Khan's 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:15.120 Base ten. Although Tony kin is not mentioned my name 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.960 in the complaint, Base ten and All Elite Wrestling R 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.280 and their connection is made clear. The filing states Base 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.320 ten is the owner of All Elite Wrestling, a professional 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:30.400 wrestling promotion that plainly would enjoy significant synergies with WWE. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.440 So there you go. Tony Khan was in fact one 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.640 of four bidders for WWE in twenty twenty three, and 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.360 it never happened, but he apparently put a bit in, 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.000 so I'm sure there is more to come on that story, 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.839 but there you go. 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:54.960 Interesting considering the accusations that Vince didn't even look at 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:56.640 the better deal, but went with the one that was 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.959 best for him. If that wouldn't have been the case, 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:02.760 would Base ten have got it? 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:07.480 Would Base ten? My guess is there were probably others 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.080 that bid significantly more anyway, but who knows. Who knows? 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:11.880 Fun to think about. 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:16.560 Yeah, you guys all know the story of Shad Con 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.160 and how he made all of his money. Does anyone 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:18.800 know this story? 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:20.160 I don't. 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:26.200 So Apparently he came over like decades ago and he 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:31.240 had no money, and I guess he like he was 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.160 working for like some I have all the details. It's 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.839 gonna be hey, you know, this's a plug for the 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.040 new book. Yeah, but anyway, he was like working for 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.040 like some car company or something like that, and he 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.040 started working like he he created like bumpers on cars, 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:51.080 and it like literally snowballed into like this billion dollar business. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.360 So he literally went from nothing to a billionaire. This 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.200 Shad Con. This is not like you know, generational wealth 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.120 going back deck kids or whatever. I mean, this guy 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.160 came over here and he had nothing and the whole 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.560 thing took out loans. I mean, it's a total American 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.840 dream story. How he made how he made his billions. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.840 So anyway, I got the whole thing in the book 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.120 that's coming out, which you can check out on Amazon 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:20.120 dot com pro Rustling for Dummies. But anyway, take a look. 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.600 So a couple of things to get into here today. 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.280 We're gonna talk about dynamite later. But I don't like 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.640 it one bit all. Actually, let me say it again 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.160 because I said that at the beginning segment. I didn't 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.320 like it. There were a few things I did like 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.520 on the show. There were a couple of good matches, 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.560 but it was I mean some of this stuff. Hey, listen, 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.960 if you like will Osbury going fifty to fifty with 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:48.560 you know Blake Christian, who's literally in his entire and 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.120 he goes back all the way to the darken elevation days. 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.079 I know he just got signed, but he has never 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.640 won a singles match on AW television ever, not one 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.440 singles match whenever on AW television. And he went fifty 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.320 to fifty with will Osprey. I didn't like it. But 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.320 I think the thing the big thing to talk about 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.400 on the show is and it was like it was 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.640 like a show long storyline that wasn't it was like 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.600 a shoot storyline. It was what was really going on. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.320 So they shot an injury angle for Tony Storm literally 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.320 like ten minutes. It went online, like ten minutes before 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.880 the show aired, and I don't think the announcers had 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.240 any idea what was going on, because the show opens 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:37.880 and both Brian Danielson and ex Caliber, I mean, they're 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.360 like trying to explain something, and they are both lost 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.760 to the point where Brian Danielson has to explain, I'm sorry, 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.280 I was thinking about something else. I didn't hear anything 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.840 you just said. And what I think was actually happening 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.400 was he was hearing one thing and ex Caliber was 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.000 hearing one thing, and they were both trying to get 0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:02.640 all of this information out. And because something planned happened 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.080 followed by something that happened unplanned, their stories were crossed because, 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:11.000 like EXCaliber was explaining, Marina Shaffer is claiming she had 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:15.160 no responsibility for knocking out Tony Storm, and he's talking 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:20.560 about the pay per view angle, and meanwhile, they now 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:24.880 did another angle where Tony has been mysteriously attacked, and 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:28.160 I guess Marina's claiming she didn't do that one. But 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.679 the wires are so crossed that poor ex Caliber's out 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.079 there going Yeah, Marina's claiming she wasn't responsible for Tony 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.240 being attacked to the pay per view, and it's like 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.360 we all watched it, like with our own two eyes, 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.360 we saw her attacker, Like what is going on? So 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.720 and then if you if you listen to Observer Radio 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:52.280 last night, you know, Marina faced Mina in a match 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:57.320 that was supposed to be Tony versus Marina, and Tony 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.760 was removed from the match for this back stage attack 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.600 and Mina Shirakawall was put in her place. Okay. Mina 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:11.560 Shirakawa also has not won a single televised singles match 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:16.320 in almost a full year. She's just always like anything 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.720 that's to do with Tony, like she's the setup person 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.440 to get beat she gets beat here, she gets beat there, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:22.960 like she'll win in a ring of honor whatever. But 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.520 on aw television, she's beaten, she's beaten, she's beaten, she's beaten. 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.640 So she goes out there with Marina, who on Sunday 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:35.680 Night was linked up with Ronda Rousey. Mina is Tony's 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:40.960 replacement in this match, and Mina wins, and I was like, 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:46.720 what why did Mina win this match? So I started 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.920 to like try and figure out, okay, what's going on here, 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:53.000 And the only thing that I could conclude was that 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.920 Tony must be out a long time, because otherwise, if 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.880 she's only god like a week, week or two or whatever, 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.400 if it's a short term deal, or if it was 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.839 an angle, okay, well Marina should beat Mina and then 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.120 Tony shows up and then you do whatever you're doing 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.679 Tony and Marina. So I figured the only possible explanation 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.560 for Mina winning this match, because this makes no sense, 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.520 is that Tony must be out for a long time, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.000 and presumably Mina is just going to take her place 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.000 in whatever storyline they're doing with Marina and Ronda Rousey 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.880 and whatever they're doing here. And as it turns out, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.720 I can at least confirm that at least part of 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.080 that for sure is correct. Tony is out for a 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.880 long time. So this was not an angle. This was 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.920 not like a short term thing or whatever. She is 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.680 going to be out for a long time. And so Mina, 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:52.080 it appears, is now taking this Tony Storm role. And 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.320 I don't know what they're doing with Ronda Rowsey, but 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.040 Ronda clearly showed up in the pay per view for 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.120 a reason, and that is she's trying to get over 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.600 this fight, this Netflix fight with Gina Kurana, which is 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.960 coming up in May. So I know that Dave is 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.240 skeptical that Ronda's going to be doing more or a 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.040 lot on television leading up to it, but I can't fathom, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.720 like that's why she's there, is to build up this 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.360 whole thing with Gina Carano. So I don't know if 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.160 she's going to do a tag match during training. It 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.200 sounds like a little bit crazy, but I think a 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.720 tag match, Ronda could probably go in there and not 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.080 get hurt and not have to do a lot. That's 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.960 a gamble, it is, but you know what I mean. 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.920 The second she appeared on that show on Sunday, they 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.760 were rattling off everything they could about that Netflix stage. 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.240 So clearly she's there for a reason, and I guess 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.000 we'll find out if there's a tag match coming with 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.960 Mina Shirakawa. But anyway, back in the mole with more 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:50.400 Observer Live. 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.479 You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:15.200 and Mike SIMPERVVI on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.760 God, some days it's just like everything is happening all 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.480 at the same time. All right, Well, I got at a 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:28.200 wrestle Mania update. So it's hard to say what exactly 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.440 is responsible for any of this. But in the time 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:36.000 since Randy Orton turned heel on Cody after Cody won 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.640 the title and WWE had that three sixteen sale where 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.040 he could get thirty one point six percent off Mania tickets, 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.200 whatever that deal was that they had a couple of 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.760 days ago, they have moved a bunch of tickets. So 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:55.960 Night one is now at thirty nine thousand, four to 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.720 twenty five, so they added two or three thousand tickets, 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:05.440 and then Night two is currently at forty six eighty seven. So, uh, 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:12.199 you'll be stunned to hear. Then lowering ticket prices moved 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:17.640 more tickets for w WE. So this whole ticket thing 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.439 is really weird. I've had a lot of discussions with 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:25.560 people about this. You know, there is people are people, 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.680 you know, really they are a lance. I don't know 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.040 if you're aware of this or not, but people are 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.720 people are people, and uh, and and money is weird 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:40.240 and uh, you know Veblen Goods, the old shebang. The 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:44.600 fact of the matter is this, Okay, at WWE ticket 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:50.840 prices are are too expensive. Okay, but it is it 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.520 is it is this WrestleMania show where it's where it's 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.040 really being affected. Okay, Raw on Monday night had like 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.360 fifteen thousand people. When I went to Ron Seattle, there 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.560 were ten thousand some people in the building, and most 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.520 of them had paid a lot of money for those tickets. Okay, 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.720 So don't I listen. I don't like it. I don't 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:11.119 want to pay like a ton of money to go 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:15.639 to WrestleMania. But the fact is, what you pay for 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.320 something is what the market will bear, Okay. And so 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.800 you know, the fact of the matter is until this WrestleMania, 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.160 what WWE was charging for ticket prices, it wasn't too much. 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.959 I mean, you could say whatever you want about what 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.000 they cost and what they used to cost and this 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.359 and that, and whether the company is horrible or not 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.760 for charge, but the fact is they put tickets on 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:44.920 sale at these prices and they sold all of them. Okay. Now, 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:48.240 you can keep raising prices, but eventually you get to 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.560 the point where, all right, you've actually raised prices so 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.720 high that even people who are willing to pay high 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.320 price and want to go, they can't pay that much, okay, 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:02.240 and so we seem to have hit that point in WrestleMania. 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.720 You know, those tickets they just stalled out at thirty 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.439 six for a long time, and it took them dropping 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.880 the prices to start moving them again. Okay, But it's 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.760 not like they dropped them to nothing. Now. I bring 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:20.399 this up because AW their tickets are much cheaper, okay. 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.920 And one of the things that AAW is doing is 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:33.280 really promoting our tickets are cheap. Okay. And I know 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.720 some fans they don't want to hear this, but listen, 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.000 I've talked to this about people within AW that agree 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:43.240 with me, within WWE that agree with me, and other 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:48.040 forms of entertainment that also agree. It's really not a 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:54.199 good thing to advertise that your tickets are cheap. It 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.760 is a good thing to have cheaper tickets in the competition, 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.679 but to actually advertise ties that fact sometimes that works 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.280 against you because you do give the idea to fans 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:11.119 that you're the secondary entertainment, You're the secondary wrestling promotion, 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:15.000 you're the cheap wrestling promotion, and you really don't want 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.920 to give people that impression. It's like, what do you 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:19.199 mean in. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.120 Your house, in your house pay per views. 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.639 Oh the yeah. I mean when they did those in 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.720 your House pay per views and they advertised them as values, 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:31.119 those did not do well, and in your House didn't 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.640 really start making money and selling a lot of pay 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.600 per views until they they like increased it to the 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.920 price of all of the other pay per views because 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.360 fans saw the cheaper show as a cheaper show. It's 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.320 nineteen ninety nine or whatever. I'm not gonna like it 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.240 can't be that big an event. So I think that 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:52.680 AW should have cheaper ticket prices than WWE. I think 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.760 they should price them to sell. I don't think that 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.520 they should make them too cheap, like the gauge is 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:02.200 this you selling tickets for an average of twenty five 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:05.600 bucks a ticket, but like the scalpers buy them all 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.399 up and then they sell them for fifty dollars. You 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:10.240 should have been selling them for fifty bucks because that's 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:14.359 what people are paying for them. But whatever you're whatever 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.439 you're doing for ticket prices, I don't I do not 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:21.520 think it's a it's a benefit to advertise we'll give 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.760 you tickets for cheap. You should come to our show. 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:28.440 I think that psychologically, you know you're gonna you know whatever, 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:32.560 But I think that that works against you as as 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.199 a promotion to advertise we're the cheap alternative to the 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.399 ones that are selling these tickets for god only knows 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:42.199 how much money. So anyway, rull, so many tickets are 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:44.600 moving because they put him a little bit on sale. 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.280 I don't have an update right now on Josh Alexander, 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.479 but I hope he's all right. They did ah, it 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:55.240 wasn't an angle. I mean they were doing a match 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:59.880 for collision and he went down and he was taken 0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:02.919 out of the match and it is believed to be 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.439 something involving his knee. And when I know more, I 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.000 will let everybody know. But hopefully it is not serious, 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:13.120 because that sucks. I don't like to see people hurt. 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.119 Eric and Sarah Logan expecting their third child, Eric of 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:22.040 the Viking Raiders, who this weekend will be facing the 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.280 Clowns at Triple Mane in a match I can't wait 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:28.879 to watch. This will be their third child, role baby 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:30.600 number three, debuting this year. 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:36.400 The Eric tweeted out short run in WW is a producer. 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:39.600 Sarah Rowe is one of my favorite people. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:40.840 absolute sweetheart lover. 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:46.600 Well she's she's got another another little package on the way, 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:51.680 So congratulations to them. Very happy to hear that. Wrestle 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:56.520 Votes noted that Braun Breaker may actually be able to return. 0:22:56.560 --> 0:23:02.360 Before wrestle Mania, Breaker did an angle on the February 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:06.720 second edition of Raw, and he went wild about the 0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:12.879 Royal Rumble spot where essentially he was a second entrant 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:15.439 in the Rumble. He was taken out by a masked 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:20.280 attacker and then he was eliminated by Obafemi, and so 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.520 then he was going crazy on Raw. He flipped over 0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:27.399 thenounced table, and next thing you know, he's having surgery 0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:32.639 for a hernia, emergency surgery. So, for those of you 0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:38.000 that don't know what happened or are looking for conspiracy theories, 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.640 the reason that they did that at the Rumble had 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:44.480 nothing to do with his hernia. The reason they did 0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.920 it in the Rumble was because they were expecting seth 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.119 Rawlins to be back, and obviously seth Rollins would be 0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:54.520 the mask guy and the WrestleMania match was supposed to 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:59.400 be Brown Breaker and seth Rawlins. Okay, so the next 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.199 night when he flipped out on Raw and flipped that table, 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:08.040 apparently that's when he injured himself. Now, he already had 0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:12.199 a hernia, he'd had it for a while, and I 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:17.320 think what happened was flipping the table that's made it 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:23.239 worse and necessitated the emergency surgery. And so if you've 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:27.720
