Speaker 4: I'm all geared up in my country's gear for the

00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: World Baseball Classic. For those of you can't see me,

13
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 4: I'm dripping in patriotism today.

14
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: I look like Americana. That's right, you do shout out

15
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: to the World Baseball Classic. I've actually been to one

16
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: of the games and it was awesome and fun, even

17
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: though the team I was reading for lost. But yeah, man,

18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: how was your weekend?

19
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: Real good?

20
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 4: I was in Florida all weekend, went to Gainesville, Boca,

21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 4: and Orlando.

22
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 3: What a state.

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: What a great state, big wrestling state for a lot

24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: of love wrestling in Florida. That's where all the talent,

25
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: That's where NXT is. That's it used to be FCW

26
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: back in the day. Even I think it was still FCW,

27
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Big wrestling state. They love it.

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 4: Down a lot of strippers and old wrestlers and after

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: a while they start to look like each other.

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: Here we go to ww SmackDown from the Moda Center

31
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: in Portland, Ore Again. I think I've been there. I

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: don't think it was the Motor Center back then, but

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: I think i've been there.

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: Is that where the Trailblazers play, or where's Portland or like, sorry,

35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: where's the Motor Center?

36
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: I think Portland is called the Rose Garden. I've been

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: there as I've been there as well. I've been there

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: for wrestling and basketball, all right. Randy Orton, son of

39
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: a bitch. He came out. Everybody loves him except me.

40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: I have my reasons. You can google it. He came

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: out there and the crowd loved him, and he gave

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: a really nice promo. It just reflected kind of like

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: nothing's guaranteed in life, even if you're the fucking man

44
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: and the best wrestler in the world. Still it was

45
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: just awesome. It was a celebration of orton trick Williams

46
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: interrupted him and just got clowned, which I didn't love,

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: but I get because I think Trick's doing such good

48
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: stuff on the mic right now that you don't want

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: to humiliate him. He just got smoked real quick. It

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: kind of sacrificed. I'm like, why'd you bring him up

51
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: on the roster? Why are you pushing him in big

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: matches if you're going to just smoke him? But I'm

53
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: I guess it was about Randy in that moment and

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: not about Trick, and it made Randy look great. Crowd

55
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: loved it even more. But when he comes out, they

56
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: scream whooped that Trick louder than any other pop that

57
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: they give the whole night, basically outside of rear Ripley,

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like it was it was

59
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: a little weird to me, Jeff, but it was still

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: a good segment.

61
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: What do you think whoop that trick even means? His

62
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: name's Trick?

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I never thought of that, because if.

64
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 4: Whoop that Trick means like that trick, like, you know,

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: go whoop that whoop on that trick because trick is

66
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: kind of an insult. But like, and you don't want

67
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: to whoop on him because he's trick. I don't really,

68
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: I don't know.

69
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, like in the nineties, people would say trick ass

70
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: bitch I heard. I would hear people get called that

71
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: a lot. Never your boy, but a lot of other

72
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: people got called that, and so it's definitely not something

73
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: you want to be called. So I guess whoever, Yeah,

74
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: you don't want to get whooped either. Man. My mom

75
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: used to whoop my ass when I was a little kid.

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: She made me picked the belt, which was worse than

77
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: the whooping That long ass walk. Oh my, oh my god. Bro. Anyway, Yeah,

78
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why. But we love

79
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: screaming it and we love Trick, but I don't want

80
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: to see Trick get whooped by record literally or figuratively.

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: All Right, So Trick he didn't get to look good,

82
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: but he still came out there. He got some love,

83
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: all six foot five of him. Orton looked good as well.

84
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: So everybody looks good and they're going. You know, I

85
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: still don't think this was their original plan to get

86
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: to to WrestleMania, this whole Cody versus Randy thing. But

87
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it just doesn't feel it just doesn't feel

88
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: like the plan. So I'm not like one hundred percent

89
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: on this on this story that they're that they're pushing,

90
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: but it's all good. Carmelo Hayes beat up Alijd Junior

91
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: Wagner doctor Wagner Junior, not Junior Wagner Junior. That'd be

92
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: a lot of juniors a way, I guess, so I'm

93
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: an official junior though guys are just pretenders. So he

94
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: looked good. We like Carmelo Hayes. He's super bouncy. Then

95
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: there's the Irresistible Forces, Jeff. We had Nya Jackson last Legend.

96
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: They came out looking to celebrate. Thank god, Charlotte and

97
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: Alexa came out and Julia and Keanna James to interrupt

98
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: this segment and state their claims. It got us to

99
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: a match between Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss and Julia

100
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: and Keanna James. But yeah, so that'll be the WrestleMania match.

101
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it'll be lash Legend Nia Jacks as the

102
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: champs versus Alexa and Charlotte. And maybe there's starts to

103
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: be a hint of a breakup at WrestleMania because Charlotte's

104
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: kind of had hints in her backstage segments of like,

105
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: fuck man, what the fuck? I should be going to WrestleMania,

106
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Like I should have been in the elimination chamber. I

107
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: should be on my way. So maybe she's like, this

108
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: is what I get, a fucking tag shot, fuck you Bliss, boom,

109
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: and she could turn on Alexa Bliss and alets Naia

110
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: and Lash Romain champions. I don't know what the hell's

111
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: gonna happen, Dad, Jeff, what did you think about all this?

112
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't loving. I wasn't loving SmackDown this week.

113
00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

114
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 4: I think I think that the whole at least the

115
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 4: women or at least the men's division, has like some

116
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: sort of excuse for a lot of the scrambling because

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 4: of like injuries.

118
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: But I think there was just.

119
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: A lack of story building for the women's division in general,

120
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: especially on SmackDown. Is what it feels like. So it

121
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: just feels all kind of muddy. I don't really care

122
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: much about, you know, where this is headed if it

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: seems with the Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss since day one,

124
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 4: I haven't been crazy about that pairing. So just I'm

125
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: just not that invested in any of those things you

126
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: just spoke about.

127
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Shout out Alexa Bliss. She was at my fiftieth birthday

128
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: with her man Ryan. They're super nice people. Thanks for coming. Anyway,

129
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: here's a match I do care about Jade Cargill, the

130
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: champ versus Rea Ripley, and they had a face off.

131
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: It's going to be tough to outface Ria Ripley in

132
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: a face off. I think Ria always comes off great.

133
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: She always comes off awesome, whether she gets punched, blindsided

134
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: in a segment, or whether she just owned somebody on

135
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: the mic. But the crowd has never wavered on this woman,

136
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: not even once. They've never gotten bored with this woman,

137
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: not even once. They're completely behind this girl. She's going

138
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: to WrestleMania, She's beating Jade Cargill, and she's going to

139
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: be the women's world champion. It's not even that they

140
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: have a rocket ship strap to her the way they

141
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: had won on Tris Stratton last year. The crowd has

142
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: made their decision. Rear Ripley is their Hulk Hogan from

143
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: the eighties, so to speak, and she's loved no matter what,

144
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: and it's never even waned a little bit like it's

145
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: always been at a ten. Every reaction is a ten.

146
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: She's never come in at a nine. The crowd's never

147
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: given her an eight. Like it's just it's always tens

148
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: with this girl. They're so fucking behind her. Ain't no

149
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: way she's going to lose that match. This is a

150
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: match that I do care about, Jeff, what about you, Sam?

151
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it.

152
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: This was interesting because all week, maybe I don't know

153
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: how much how far back it goes, but I know

154
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 4: at least all week everyone was talking about how they're

155
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: they're upset there, there's locker room heat. Jade Cargill is

156
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: not liked by the girls back there, and all these

157
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: tweets were going back and forth, and so this, you know,

158
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: had had some excitement that they were gonna come out

159
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: and be in the same ring together because of all

160
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: the whatever. I think they're gonna turn that real heat

161
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: into like a work, you know, Like that's the cool

162
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: thing about wrestling, is like you don't know what's real

163
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 4: and what isn't real, But when something is real, you

164
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: can turn it into ratings. They did it with Tiffany

165
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 4: Stratton and Charlotte Flair leading into a lab.

166
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: And so this is Charlotte and Becky too a couple

167
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: of years ago, three years ago, four.

168
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: Years and so this is just the newest version of that.

169
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 3: Who knows.

170
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 4: I have a philosophy that I've been working on, a

171
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 4: conspiracy theory that it's all a work. Everything, it's everything

172
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 4: you've ever thought in wrestling.

173
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: That was real as a work.

174
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 4: Even Brett Hart and Vince McMahon with the spitting and

175
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 4: him going.

176
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: On leaving, I think that was a work.

177
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: Crazy.

178
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: I think that the Brett screwed Brett.

179
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 4: I think I think it was all It's all a work,

180
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 4: and I think this Jade Car Gillen Ray Ripley thing

181
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 4: is a work. But it makes me excited about it,

182
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 4: so it's working all right.

183
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: Fair enough. In the main event, the advertised main event,

184
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: Nick Alvis has had enough of Drew McIntyre's bs. Drew's

185
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: been trying to avoid Cody at all costs, and it

186
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: led to a main event at SmackDown for the undisputed

187
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: WWE Championship. We don't get these matches often, and when

188
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: we do, the champ rarely loses, so in a shocking upset,

189
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: Cody rhads well, not an upset. Everybody loves Cody. Cody

190
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: Roads defeats Drew McIntyre with little Jacob Fatu help. He

191
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: becomes a WWE champion, taking him and Randy now to WrestleMania.

192
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: Not much time to build this story all, which is

193
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: why I still think Randy wasn't the one that was

194
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: meant to win the elimination chamber. They're playing ketchup, it

195
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: feels like to me, and they're going to do this

196
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: sort of I guess mentor mentee? Is that what you

197
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: call the student of the mentor? I don't know the

198
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: student and the teacher. The student I'm assuming will win.

199
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll get to picks when we get

200
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: closer to to Mania. Yeah, man, was it feels rushed

201
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: to me, and it doesn't feel like the original plan.

202
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: I'll still going to watch the hell out of it

203
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: because I want to see Randy and Cody. They're both awesome,

204
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: But there's not going to be too much time outside

205
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: of their history, which they're gonna have to lean on

206
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: heavily in the story. Remember back when, Remember when you

207
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: grew a mustache, Remember when you left the company and

208
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: rebuilt yourself. You know I taught you that you leaned

209
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: on me but I didn't teach you everything, like they're

210
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to do one of those stories, which is cool.

211
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: I guess I'll watch the match either way because it's WrestleMania,

212
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: but I just feel like it wasn't plan a.

213
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 4: I think it was a very Do you think this

214
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: might be the most strangely booked or or loosely booked

215
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 4: or overlooked WrestleMania booking in the last like ten years.

216
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: It would explain ticket sales. Yeah, I don't know, man,

217
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of because I usually love WrestleMania.

218
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: I love the way they book it, I love the

219
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: stories they tell leading up to it. But something feels

220
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: off with this. You're right, man, it just it isn't

221
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: quite It isn't quite there. Like I don't know, they

222
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: wreck the brock Lesner story on the first night. So

223
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who he faces at WrestleMania, and it

224
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter if they win, because that person has

225
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: no balls. Paul Hayman said it, and nobody talks better

226
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: than Paul, So if he says anything, whether it's true

227
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: or not, it's true in the ears of people, and

228
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: if they're watching in the eyes of people, because it's

229
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: Paul fucking Hayman. Nobody answered the bell when he rang it,

230
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know how they fix that. Whether it's

231
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: Oba or not or l A. Knight, I think those

232
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: are probably the two favorites to get there, but I

233
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: don't know how they get there with enough time for me,

234
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: or at least for me to be committed to the

235
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: story and care. I really think they fumbled that one.

236
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, it does feel a little, you know, I

237
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: don't want to put this all on creative shoulders because

238
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: they had so many friggin' injuries and just it killed

239
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: the vision, storyline, It killed any hype for Seth rawlins,

240
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 1: it just killed everything. I mean, Seth's back and I

241
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: don't even think he's healthy yet, that's why they're protecting

242
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: him so much, and he's not doing any physicality on him.

243
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: So I just I don't know. This is the first

244
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: WrestleMania in a long time. I've been like, yeah, I'll watch, yeah,

245
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: but I don't care exactly.

246
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 4: I feel the same. It's like nothing's gonna make me

247
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 4: not watch WrestleMania. But it's also I'm not going, Oh

248
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 4: I gotta fly I'm tempted to fly out there, I'm

249
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 4: tempted to, you know, you know, I don't feel any

250
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 4: of the normal WrestleMania butterflies I normally have.

251
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: Bro The tickets are crazy. That's another thing, Like they're

252
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: charging so much money that if you're going to charge

253
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: that much money, you have to have bloodline type level

254
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: storylines that people are committed to and wanting to go to,

255
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: not Roman versus CM punk in name only, and then

256
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: have no story but a promo where your champion looked

257
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: like shit and got owned by the challenger and then

258
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: said some petty stuff at the end, and then he

259
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: gets knocked the fuck out by Jimmy Usso on the

260
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: next show, which makes me think he's gonna win because

261
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: he's looked like shit in all these segments, which would

262
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: be weird, but I guess that's that'll be his story.

263
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, it's just everything feels rushed and bad business.

264
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 4: They think WrestleMania is such a big event and so

265
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 4: famous and spectacular that people will pay any amount to

266
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: be there, But what they're forgetting is the only reason

267
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: people you will pay any amount to be there is

268
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 4: because WrestleMania is supposed to be the best. It's supposed

269
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: to be the biggest moment. You can't just lean on

270
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 4: it being you know, this isn't the super Bowl where

271
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: the two best teams go every year. This is you

272
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 4: have to make it the best in wrestling. You book it,

273
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: you decide it. So like they need to get the

274
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 4: shit together quick.

275
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah it's tough, man, because you get a year to

276
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: figure it out. And the injury thing is what f's

277
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: the storylines? But it's like, I don't know, I don't

278
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: know how you have a Plan B in your back

279
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: pocket just in case someone gets hurt. That's a weird

280
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: way to think. But you gotta come up with something

281
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: when this stuff happens, because everybody's storyline is just ft,

282
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's just weird, man. So let's go

283
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: to raw before we get into our picks in segment.

284
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: We've got seth Rawlins, we got Adam Pierce, we've got

285
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: the Vision, and we've got a shell game. You guys

286
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: know the shell game. That's when the guy plays three

287
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: card Monty with you and he's like, all right, find

288
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: the queen, find the queen, baby, where's the queen? Where's

289
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: the queen? No queen? And you lose all your money

290
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: Adam Pierce came out. He addressed the show. Seth Rawlins

291
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: is kind of escalating the war with the vision. He

292
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: came out mask men swarmed the arena, and then he

293
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: unmasks himself. Ha ha, I'm Seth Rawlins again. We've seen

294
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: this now, so it's getting kind of weird. It leads

295
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: to Logan Paul and Austin theory, the deteriorated Vision coming out,

296
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: which they shouldn't have even come out, but I guess

297
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: they're trying to make a match for WrestleMania. Then they

298
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: ran the shell game and nobody could find Seth Rollins haha,

299
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: and he gets away, and then La Knight and the

300
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: USO's joined the fray, which forces our bad guys to leave.

301
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's tough because I think Seth is still hurt,

302
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: so you can't get any physicality on him. They've already

303
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: done Logan Paul versus Seth Rawlins at WrestleMania, the one

304
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: that Jeff and I went to, so I don't think

305
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: they'd redo that match this soon, And maybe they would

306
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: because they don't have anything else. You can't do Austin

307
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: theory versus Seth Rowins at WrestleMania. That's not a WrestleMania match,

308
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: so and everybody else is hurt. So I don't know

309
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: where they go with this that gets people hyped, you know,

310
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: outside of the fact that at least fucking Seth's back

311
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: and he can talk on the microphone and he can

312
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: do good segments on the raw after Mania when nobody wrestles.

313
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: I loved this idea.

314
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: I didn't like the execution, like you know, the the

315
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: all the mask guys. One of the problems was Seth's

316
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: mask didn't look like their masks, so I've like their's

317
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: was like open mouth and open eyes and his was

318
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 4: like a solid black one. I'm like, oh, he's right there.

319
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: I was finding him the whole time. And then make

320
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 4: a match. How easy is that wardrobe? Get masks that

321
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: they all wear the same they're supposed to be. That's

322
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: the whole point. And then the other thing was like

323
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 4: how does how did he know he was in the

324
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 4: building when he came out? Nick Aldis is like, I

325
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 4: know he's in the building, and You're like, well, how

326
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: do you know that? That was kind of weird, And

327
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: then I wish that they would have at the end

328
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 4: Logan and Austin would have grabbed two masked guys and

329
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 4: they're like holding him and it, and then they slowly

330
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 4: take the mask off and like crap, it's not him.

331
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: Or they'd slam a guy and then take his mask off.

332
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 4: They go, dang it, we didn't get Seth because you

333
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: could just take some jobbers out and hope you grabbed someone.

334
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 4: But then like, ah, dang it, Seth Rowlins has escaped

335
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 4: our grips with the shell game.

336
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: We didn't get him. You know, we didn't grab him.

337
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 4: So I liked the idea, but I just think they

338
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 4: could have done a little bit more cool stuff with it.

339
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it came off like a Looney Tunes cartoon to me.

340
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Yeah, you could have played Benny Corny.

341
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 3: But I do I like the idea. I just thought

342
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: it was executed a little strangely.

343
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: We got Penta the new Intercontinental champion, Yeah, Americano, and

344
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: it sits for the title. He's going to be a

345
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: fighting champion. But Grande got cursed. Bro he was disrespectful

346
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: to Dan Housen. Dan Housen's quick to curse some motherfucker

347
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: straight up, like he barely disrespected He barely even just

348
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: he was like, look, man, I got a match, fuck off.

349
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: And Dan Housen's like, what, Oh, you don't have time

350
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: for me, You're cursed. I was like, that was the

351
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: quickest curse he's ever cursed somebody with. And I didn't

352
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: even think Grande Americana was being that rude. He was

353
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: just kind of like trying to get hid up for

354
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: his match. It seemed kind of heelish to me.

355
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been on TV for two weeks, He's done

356
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 4: two curses. And I think because the first curse was

357
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: so well received on the Internet and with all the

358
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 4: wrestling fans that maybe now they're gonna are they overdoing it?

359
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: Are they gonna now make Dan Housen has got to

360
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 4: curse all these people all the time. Is wrestling already

361
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: gonna try and push and ruine a thing too much?

362
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting.

363
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: You know what it reminded me of, because I do

364
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,479
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be. The gimmick is when Dolph Ziggler

365
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: debuted and he would just walk up to people and

366
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: say hey, I'm Dolf Ziggler and just walk away. And

367
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: he did it for like Vince wanted to do it forever. Basically,

368
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: and we were like, can we stop and let him

369
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: wrestle like he's dope. He actually wrestled at Kent State

370
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: and can like kick everybody's ass here pretty much. It

371
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: feels like that's what they're gonna do. He's just gonna

372
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: curse the whole fucking roster eventually, or the whole heel roster,

373
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: and then I have no one left a curse. I thought

374
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: they would have gotten a storyline with him and Dominic.

375
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: I thought that would have been a lot of fun.

376
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: But I guess they're not gonna do that.

377
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 4: Do you remember that female wrestler am I I think

378
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 4: her name was. They just kept playing like promos, like

379
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 4: in a swimsuit wearing the sunglasses. They played the promo

380
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 4: like nine hundred weeks in a row, no one ever.

381
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 4: Then she came out and there was it was just whatever,

382
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 4: and then she was gone, and I remember being like

383
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 4: that gone. YEA plugged her forever. So yeah, I wonder, like,

384
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 4: I wonder if it's gonna be like that.

385
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: They did that with another guy smacked down when I

386
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: was there. I can't remember his name, but they like

387
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: played all these like soap opera clips of him like

388
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: being this Latino Star and then he had one match

389
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: and then he was freaking gone. You're just like, yo,

390
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: what what did you have creative put all this time?

391
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: And if that's what you're gonna do, but whatever. Anyway,

392
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: he got cursed and instead of El Grande coming out

393
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: to fight, it was Ludvig Kaiser dressed well, not even

394
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: dressed is El Grande dressed in his version of El Grande,

395
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: and he came out. He loses, pented defense, and everybody's happy.

396
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: The match I was excited about is our next match,

397
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: Oba Femi versus Russev. I knew who was gonna win.

398
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: Everybody knew who was gonna win. But it was about

399
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: time that Oba Femi gets to look good against you know,

400
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: somebody who's a bit more legit than than Kit Wilson.

401
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: And he got Russev and he got him up in

402
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: his finisher and finished him because he's humongous. I don't know,

403
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: he's like six four, three hundred pounds. He's freaking humongous.

404
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for the future of Oba. I'm kind

405
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: of hoping it's not brock Lessner, but I feel like

406
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: it is. That's what the crowd wants and ww's heard

407
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: what the crowd wants, and they listen. They say they don't,

408
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: but they listen. At least they did when I worked there.

409
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: That was a long time ago, so maybe they don't know.

410
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm excited for him in his future. I

411
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: hope they take good care of him. I hope they don't,

412
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: you know, embarrass him and get him fed up the

413
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: way they're doing trick right now. But yeah, he looked great.

414
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: What did you think?

415
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 4: I'm big russef guy, big oba Femi guy. I think

416
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: we need to rethink this wrestling idea that good wrestlers

417
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: who are pushed, or good wrestlers who are or whatever

418
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 4: ever lose. Oh my character wouldn't lose to someone? Or

419
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 4: why do I have got to go over clean? Why

420
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 4: why do I have to? Maybe I only lose if

421
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 4: they cheat. I think we should rethink this idea. In sports,

422
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 4: sometimes you have a bad match, sometimes you have a

423
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 4: bad game. Sometimes just a circumstance gets you to go, oh,

424
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 4: he got me. Like in chess, sometimes you lose a

425
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 4: big player, you know, or a big piece. I think that, like,

426
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 4: why couldn't have rusif won this and we build something?

427
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 4: Doesn't change that Oma Femei's a badass. It doesn't change that.

428
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 4: It's like, you don't need everybody to be Goldberg until

429
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: you change the storyline.

430
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 3: They don't just need to keep winning and winning and winning.

431
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 4: Sometimes the other guy gets you, sometimes something happens. So

432
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: I guess I wasn't a fan of how it felt

433
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 4: like Oba squashed rusif is what it did to me?

434
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: It did, Yeah, it did? You know?

435
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: There?

436
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: The philosophy when I worked there was people only watch

437
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: one out of every four episodes a month, and so

438
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: you don't want the one time they tune in to

439
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: see your big star, they don't want to see him lose.

440
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: So that was the argument they gave me when I

441
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: worked there, and brought up a similar philosophy, not exactly

442
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: the way you described it, but a similar philosopher. I

443
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, why does this guy have

444
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: to win? Why can't he lose this match and learn

445
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: something from it? And that was the reason they told me. So, yeah,

446
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: that's well.

447
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: I would if I ever ran a wrestling thing, which

448
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 4: Freddy will do someday, if I ever had my own

449
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 4: wrestling division, my own wrestling thing show, I would pander

450
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 4: it all the marks I wouldn't be pandering to the

451
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 4: guy that watches once every four weeks.

452
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be doing that.

453
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: I'd be making programming for nerds like our producer Alex,

454
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: who are watching every second.

455
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: I like your philosophy, Cirta, and I'll leave it at that.

456
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: I might agree with you backstage. The judgment day is

457
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: a mess. They confronted Finn Balor over not help and

458
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: dominic mysterio. Retain the time Idol became a full on

459
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: beatdown on Balor. You bastards. How are you gonna beat

460
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: up someone so handsome and jacked? But anyway, it's gonna

461
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: turn him big time babyface. People were already kind of

462
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: going babyface based on the CM Punk matches where Punk

463
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: was kind of coming off like a dick those in

464
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: those segments for no reason. So it just kind of

465
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: babyfaced him automatically. So it seems it seems cool. We

466
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: talked about Dan Housen already. Maxine Dupried got a little

467
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: bit of revenge on Natty. Takes her out of that

468
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: ic picture the Women's Icy Champ, but it gives her

469
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: something to do at least, so that's good. Natty's got

470
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: her new look. She needed to get beat up, I

471
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: guess because she beat up Maxine the other day and

472
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: they always have to get back at each other like that.

473
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: And then finally the USOS confront CM Punk. Punk addressed

474
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: Roman Reigns during the show, but the USO's demanded an

475
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: apology for Punk's remarks about their late father, you son

476
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: of a b. After Punk pushed the line again, Jimmy

477
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: Usso heard about enough and he decked the world champion

478
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: and made him look like shit. It on national television,

479
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: just drow, I mean, dropped him like a stone in water.

480
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: Punk got up pretty quickly to show, hey, I can

481
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: take it. I can still take a whooping, and Jay

482
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: Ussa was like, come on, Jimmy, let's get out of here.

483
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: Man.

484
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: We can whip this guy's ass anytime we want, because

485
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: we're Samoan and he's not. That was the segment. But again,

486
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: and I think I figured the CM punk thing out

487
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: and why I'm not connecting with any of it, and

488
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: you and I have spoken about this a little bit.

489
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: I think CM Punk's character and his character's attitude only

490
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: works on the way up the mountain. It only works

491
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: on the climb because everybody knows what it feels like

492
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: to get shit on and to carry all this weight

493
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: that's not even your weight. Sometimes sometimes it's your boss's weight,

494
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: sometimes your wife's nagginia, sometimes your husband's nagania. Sometimes your

495
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: kids are driving you crazy, and a life's getting you down,

496
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: and so sometimes you want to say, hey, man, fuck you,

497
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: which is a punk rock thing to say, and that

498
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: shit works when you're climbing up. But when you get

499
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: to the top, punk rock isn't the top, like it's

500
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: not it's not cool, like it's it's not cool to

501
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: be the man. And so now he comes off very

502
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: petty and very insecure as a champion, which is weird,

503
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: and I just think it doesn't work with that character

504
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: when he's wearing the belt, and it should be he

505
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: should be a chaser of the belt, not a holder

506
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: of the belt. You can f him over and so

507
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like he's losing clean. But I think

508
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: his character stuff works better on the way up. I

509
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: haven't connected with anything that he's done since he's been champierly,

510
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: even the good promos. I'm still like it's good, but

511
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't fit, Like it doesn't work. You're making this

512
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: guy look like a babyface, bro, and that's he's a

513
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: bad guy. So it just yeah, I'm not I'm not

514
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: feeling I know you had a similar, similar version, but

515
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: I like the way you said it more so I'll

516
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: throw it over to you.

517
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 3: No, I was just I agree with your thousand bucks.

518
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 4: No one ever goes that champ hul Cogan what he's

519
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: so punk rock? Oh my goodness, you know who's real

520
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 4: punk rock?

521
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 3: The rock?

522
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 4: It's like, no, those are those are champs, those are champions,

523
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 4: those are faces. Even when Hulk was NW oh Hulk,

524
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: that wasn't like punk rock. That's just like classic heel.

525
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 4: I think that there's nothing punk rock about being the

526
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 4: king or being the top of the mountain, and so

527
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 4: like he doesn't it doesn't work. I agree with you

528
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: one thousand percent. You can't. You can't do what he's

529
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 4: done and what we like about him and then also

530
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 4: be the company guy who's going around doing that and

531
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 4: he's so proud. A guy like him should barely hold

532
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 4: the championship belt like let alone be around his waist.

533
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 4: He's kind of holding around like the way Raven from WCW,

534
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 4: Like it's just kind of this accessory, like he almost

535
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 4: resents that he's the champ. It's almost like an ironic thing,

536
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 4: you know, because I would like that more, Jeff, I

537
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 4: really would. It's like, you know, the sex Pistols would

538
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 4: never wear the king's crown. They hated the King from X.

539
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 4: Would never be like, yeah, I'm a queen, like she

540
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 4: would never say that. She would say fuck a queen, man,

541
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: queen suck royalties bullshit. You're just bored into it, like

542
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 4: they hated these shit.

543
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: So it just yeah, the punk rock thing in a

544
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: championship thing just doesn't work for me, and I think

545
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: I figured it out. Jeff thinks he figured it out.

546
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: You can hit us up on social and tell us

547
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: how stupid you think we are, how smart you think

548
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: we are. Not a wrestling with storylines, which is weird

549
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: to say, because AAW when they were young didn't have

550
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: the history to lean on to tell stories, so they

551
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: had to tell new stories, which is hard to freaking do.

552
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: Now they're on season nine, I think on my YouTube TV,

553
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: which is very frustrating. Sometimes I wish they'd make it

554
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: easier to watch television, especially when I record stuff. Now

555
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: they have this history to lean on where it's like, hey, man,

556
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: you fucked me over two years ago, so I'm never

557
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: helping you out again. And this guy's like, yeah, I

558
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: was bad, but I'm good now. I've burned down your

559
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: I've put a staple through your cheek. I'd never forget

560
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: that you. And so they have all these stories to

561
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: kind of lean on. And that's the case with MJF

562
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: versus Hangman Adam Page. And we're gonna make our picks.

563
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you guys know who our producer picked.

564
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: Jeff's gonna give you his dark horses. I'm gonna give

565
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: you who I think is gonna win. I'm gonna try

566
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: to keep emotion out of it. This first one, I

567
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: think is the hardest one for me to pick, and

568
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: I might surprise you with who I go with. But

569
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 1: we have MJF the champion, jeff'son, my favorite champion versus

570
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: Adam Hangman Page, who cut a full promo in Espanol

571
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: in Mexico and that was some of the most gangster

572
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: shit I've ever seen a wrestler do. In a Texas

573
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: Death match, which Adam Page doesn't lose bro Adam Page

574
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: lacks Texas death MJF is terrified at Texas Death, so

575
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: let me tell you why this is happening. This is

576
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: a culmination of years of animosity. Hangman has stood on

577
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: the edge of reclaiming aw's top prize multiple times, only

578
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: to fall short. And he's had short title reigns as well,

579
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: not like Max, who holds the belt forever. He confronted

580
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: MJF on Dynamite. He wanted Texas Death. MJF was like,

581
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 1: fuck Texas Death. Let's flip a coin. Haha, you lose,

582
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: and it was a two sided coin, and Tony connells like,

583
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't stand for those shenanigans. Nobody uses a two

584
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: sided coin on my show. It's Texas Death. So here

585
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: we are. Page has promised he will have zero regrets,

586
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: which means he's going to put a nail gun through

587
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: Max's face or some shit. It's going to be crazy.

588
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: MJF is going to run scared, He's going to be

589
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: violent when he can. It's this is the toughest pick

590
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: that I've had to make this season, because Adam Page said,

591
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: if I lose this match, I will never challenge for

592
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: the a W Championship again, which books them into a corner.

593
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: Right like now, he has to win. He has to

594
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: win because he's a world champion level dude. He deserves

595
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: that that accolade, you know, once twice a year, however

596
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: long you want him to hold. It's that he's that

597
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: type of dude. But are they tricking us, Jeff? Are

598
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: they setting this all up so that everybody picks Picks

599
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: hangman Page and then MJF comes out with the shithead

600
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: sneaky victory and gets to talk shit on Wednesday and

601
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: be like you thought you could beat me, and you

602
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: beat your ass in your favorite match. I'm the best ever.

603
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: This could go either way. Now, our producer agrees with

604
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: the latter part of my statement. He thinks that MJF

605
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: is going to retain this title somehow, Jeff, after all

606
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: the bullshit I've just said, have I swayed you in

607
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: any way or are you concrete in your pick?

608
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 4: I believe Adam Page has to win. I don't know

609
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 4: how you write your way around this. I don't know

610
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 4: how you wiggle your way out of this. Like if

611
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: that is the rules, right, like, hey, you can never

612
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 4: challenge for the aw world title again, then that's he's

613
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: that's it. He's gotta It might be a no decision

614
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 4: or something, but like I thought to myself, well, maybe

615
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: they'll do something where like he goes, well, I don't care,

616
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: I'll just challenge for it again, like I don't have

617
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 4: to follow those rules. But that'd be like a bad

618
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 4: guy thing that like MJF would kind of do, not

619
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 4: ask exactly. So I thought, I just I'm picking Hangman

620
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 4: Adam Paige, and if I'm wrong, i'd be I would

621
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 4: be shocked.

622
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's what I think's gonna happen. I think

623
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: Alex got it right. I think mjf's gonna win. But

624
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: I totally agree with everything you just said. And I'm

625
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: picking Hangman Page because he can't never he can't never

626
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: challenge again. That's horrible.

627
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 3: Sense.

628
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's too good to not get to be a champ.

629
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: But unless you have like a moment with him and

630
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: Tony where Tony's like, I don't give a fuck what

631
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: you said. You're challenging for the world championship. You're getting

632
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: in there, you know what I mean, what's the point. Yeah,

633
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: So it'd be weird. So I'm going with Hangman Adam

634
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: Page to reclaim his championship. Maybe MJF booked another movie

635
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: and he's taking a little time off. I hope all right.

636
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: Moving on the AEW Women's World Championship, the champ Tecla

637
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: versus Chris Statlander, the former champ, in a two out

638
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: of three falls match. This is happening in Los Angeles.

639
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm trying desperately to find a babysitter.

640
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: If you guys know one, call me. Let me the

641
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: fucking up Statlander prevented Techler in the Triangle of Madness

642
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: from injurying thunder Rose after a title match. Techla took offense,

643
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: calling Statlander's in a interference of personal insult. That's the

644
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: quick version of why they're fighting. The real reason is

645
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: because stat Lander lost. She's fucking pissed off man. She

646
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: wants her belt back. Two out of three falls. Let

647
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: you know who the better wrestler is, because you got

648
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: every chance in the world, every opportunity in the world.

649
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: It's always gonna go one to one, and then we

650
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: get that one final match at the end, which is cool.

651
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I can recall a match where someone

652
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: just got two wins right away and was like, and

653
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: the match is over. I can't even think of one

654
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: time that happens. They've got a good Jeff, who do

655
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: you think is gonna win this match?

656
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 4: Which isn't that interesting to what I just said about

657
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 4: Opa Femi and russef It's like, see they'd let them

658
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 4: lose or get pinfalled, like in one of these best

659
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 4: out of two or three falls, So like, why couldn't

660
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 4: you just do that? Also in big bodies.

661
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: Of story, I agree who It's tough, all right, I'll

662
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: go first. So I think Tecla retains Chris was a

663
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: solid chant, but I think she needs a little bit

664
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: more of a story and establishment of her character before

665
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: she can hold the title for a length of time.

666
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: The way Tony Storm held it. Tony had to kind

667
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: of find herself by losing herself literally and figuratively, And

668
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: I think Chris needs a little bit more time to

669
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: hone in on this character and who this version of

670
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: her as a wrestler is in this chapter of her life,

671
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: Whereas Tekla seems very well defined as a character, has

672
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: very clear motivation as to what she's doing. All her

673
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: promos are stay within that character, and I don't see

674
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: any changes coming for her soon. Where I think you

675
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: can still tweak with Chris a little bit, and she

676
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: has room to grow, So I think Tecla remains a

677
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: champion and retains our producer. Alex also picks Techla to retain.

678
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: Have I convinced you to go with the flow and

679
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: jump on team Techla?

680
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 4: Well, I don't like to choose someone that Alex didn't

681
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 4: choose just because he gets these right, all that's yeah,

682
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 4: I think Techla to retain the strap. But also, as

683
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: you can probably tell, I'm not following that closely this story, so.

684
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: Yes, that's all right. Every story's gonna hit people different. Bro.

685
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 3: Next up, who's what Alex choosed?

686
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: This is my favorite match of the night and I

687
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: haven't even seen it yet, Jeff, And that's the aw

688
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: Continental Championship with no time limit. It's John Moxley, the

689
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: champ who's been making everybody in the company look absolutely

690
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: fucking awesome when he wrestles him versus Kenoski takeshaa Man.

691
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: I hope I said that right. I've been working so

692
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: hard on these names, man, and I love Japan. I

693
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: should be dope at this, all right. Their first encounter

694
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: at Grand Slam Australia ended in a draw, something neither

695
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: Man nor the audience could stomach, so they pulled a

696
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: little audible and you could see Moxley telling the ref

697
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: to tell him to tell takesha to beat his ass

698
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: after the match so the crowd would be hyped, and

699
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: they were. That's how good John Moxley is. By the way,

700
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: Takeshita demanded a rematch with no restrictions. Moxley responded by

701
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: raising the stakes. No time limit, no excuses, no escape.

702
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: Sounds like a movie trailer. Now. They both kind of

703
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: represent badasses, like badass baby faces and badass heels kind

704
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: of at the same time, they're both kind of hybridy.

705
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: It just depends on how you feel about Don Kallis

706
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: and how you feel about John Moxley's faction, the Death

707
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: Why can I think of what their name was, the

708
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: Death Writers. I was going to say the Death Triangle,

709
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: but that's not right. There's not three of them. So anyway,

710
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: that's where we're there. Alex picks ta Keshaa to win.

711
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: I picked to kesha A to win. Baby. I think

712
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: it's his time. I think might hold two belts because

713
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: I think his partner and crime over there in the

714
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: don Kallis family might get a little jealous and maybe

715
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: they'll have some beef, which would be kind of cool.

716
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Okadassan. But who do you pick? Bro Well.

717
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 4: I want to first start by saying that the premise

718
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 4: of the match is absurd.

719
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: Oh no time limit? What do you mean?

720
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: The Continental matches are always twenty minute time limits, so

721
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: that's why they're taking it out of that world. But

722
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: now there's no restriction. Not to me, it's not no way.

723
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 4: We've never learned how long a matches or cared. When

724
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 4: you were a kid, you were like, oh, hurry up,

725
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 4: stone Cold, you've only got four minutes left.

726
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 3: You know.

727
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 4: You know who cares about this is networks. Did HBO say, hey,

728
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 4: there's no time limit?

729
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: No?

730
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they go just whatever you'd like.

731
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 4: We'll stream it as long as you wrestle, because if

732
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 4: I know John Moxley and Takeshita, they'd wrestle for seven

733
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 4: hours with staple guns and razor blades, a pizza cutters

734
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 4: and gotten toothpicks that you hammer in his head and

735
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 4: they stick out like a weird porky pard. Listen, there

736
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 4: will be a fight time determined to buy the network

737
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 4: and but it'll be a great match. I'm excited about

738
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 4: it and I will pick. I'm picking John Moxley. I'm

739
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 4: going against you, guys.

740
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna oh taking the wear war all right. Dude.

741
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: By the way, I love the no time limit thing.

742
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: You hate the no time limit thing, and it seems

743
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: so relevant page. I think it's the I think it's

744
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: the most important part. We're totally on opposite pages, all right.

745
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: Moving on a w World Tag Team Championship FTR versus

746
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: The Young Bucks, Jeff, this match isn't about the Belts, baby,

747
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: this shit is for personal. They beat up the Young

748
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: Bucks family. They hit their brother with a pile driver.

749
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,479
Speaker 1: They like, slap the shit out of their dad, drop

750
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 1: kicked their mom, grabbed their grandma body slammed the grandma.

751
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: Found an uncle in a wheelchair somewhere, stole the stole

752
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: his wheelchair, threw him in the ocean. Man couldn't swim.

753
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: He was rescued by lifeguards. The Young Bucks are pissed.

754
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: All this shit happened, guys, wrestling's crazy. Maybe not in

755
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: this story, but it's happened in other storylines. Anyway. That's

756
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: the reason why I think the Young Bucks are gonna

757
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: win this fucking match, Jeff. They have too much motivation

758
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: it's not just about the belts. Stokely still in a wheelchair.

759
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna beat up Stokely too. He's gonna get his

760
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: ass kicked. The FDR is gonna get their ass kicked.

761
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: You know, the Young Bucks will have to go through

762
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: it to win it, because it's gonna be a mountain

763
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: to climb. But that's I think it's gonna be. The

764
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: story they tell is, Okay, we're gonna climb this fucking mountain.

765
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: We're not Sisiphus where the boulder ain't rolling down. Where

766
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: the Young Bucks we're getting it up. I think they're

767
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: gonna win. Our producer agrees with me. Are you gonna

768
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: be the non conformist that I know you are? Or

769
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna jump on team buck Bibbit?

770
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 3: Nope.

771
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 4: Sometimes I go with my whimsical, you know, contrarian comedian

772
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 4: Jester bullshit. But on this one, I'm gonna agree with

773
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 4: my boy. I'm gonna agree with my boy Freddie Prince

774
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 4: Junior and my boy Alex. I agree that the Young

775
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 4: Bucks are gonna win, and I hope they do. I

776
00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 4: love the Young Bucks.

777
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: For anyone that takes what we say too seriously, remember

778
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: these moments when Jeff and I say things like yeah,

779
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: my actor bullshit, my comedian bullshit, Like, we're just here

780
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: to make you guys, think something, feel something, laugh. You're

781
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: allowed to get mad at us, if you want to

782
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: get mad at us, We'll just try to entertain you guys.

783
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: That made me laugh really hard, though my comedian bullshit.

784
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm a fucking court jester. All right. The World Trios Championship,

785
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: Thank you AW for getting me into that sounded like

786
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: you spit in a spatoon, like in an old Wild

787
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: West movie. That was awesome. Literally, like tean, that's what

788
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: that sounded like. That was awesome. So AW got me

789
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: into six man tag matches, the Trios matches as they

790
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: call them, And I don't know how they did it

791
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: outside of they made the matches less chaotic and just

792
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: more awesome and streamlined. But I don't even know if

793
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: that's what they did. Maybe my tastes are just changing

794
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: because I used to not like blood. I used to

795
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: be like, what this it's a family show, How could

796
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: you willingly cut you? It's an Accident's okay, but goodness,

797
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: gracious cut away. And now I'm like, yeah, fucking bleed

798
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: Marx Lee. So that's how I feel about Trios Championships

799
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: right now. The don Kallis family with Ocatta, Fletcher and

800
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: Davis taking on Mystico, Kevin Knight and Speedball Mike Bailey.

801
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: The don Kallis Family defeated Jet Speed Rodeo for the Belts.

802
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: Rodeo was the part where Hangman jumped in there and

803
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: it's blindside of the division and here we go. Okata's

804
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: ruthlessness has grown. He's getting pissed off. Kevin Knight and

805
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 1: Speedball Bailey have had some singles matches. They look great,

806
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: even in losses, even in wins. They look great both ways.

807
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: They're fighting to bring out all this shit back. Mystico

808
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: has joined them since Adam Hangman Page can't be a

809
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 1: part of it. But this is an easy pick, you guys.

810
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: Don Kallis family is all powerful. They have a top

811
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: three manager in the game today. They as a vocal

812
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: for any of them and not all of them even needed.

813
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: Like they got Kyle Fletcher. He can fucking talk his

814
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: ass off. He gets better every single time he's on

815
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: the microphone. Jeff hates his sunglasses and his pink stuff.

816
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: But they're winning this match, and you know, Team Speed

817
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: Team speedball. I don't know what they call themselves A mystico.

818
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: Do they call themselves like l speedball? I don't know.

819
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what their name is gonna be. But

820
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: they're losing this fucking match. You know, eventually they'll break up.

821
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: Maybe Bailey will turn a heel on Kevin Knight and

822
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: you can get a little baby face push out of

823
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: Kevin Knight, which would be cool when when that time comes,

824
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're ready just yet to break up.

825
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: I still like watching them as a team, but they're

826
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: losing this match, and a don Kallis family is gonna

827
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: have so much power because they're gonna have all the

828
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: gold except the World Heavyweight Championship, which they can pursue

829
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: in a storyline further down the road, and they can

830
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 1: have all the belts if they wanted to. Alex agrees

831
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: with me, Jeff, what do you think is gonna happen?

832
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 4: I can't in good conscious disagree with you guys with

833
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 4: because I don't think there's anything bigger right now in

834
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 4: aw than the don Kallis family. At least it's at

835
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 4: least one of the biggest things. It's their new blood line.

836
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 4: I can't see I can't see them losing this right now.

837
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 4: They got they got some good momentum, they got good

838
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 4: thing going on over there. And it's also said, it

839
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 4: feels like they're trying to build to what you just

840
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 4: said last where it's like we have all the belts

841
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 4: but the big one. I mean, I think that's an

842
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 4: exciting story. That's where it's headed. So I'm definitely gonna

843
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 4: pick the don Kallis family to take it all.

844
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, here comes match number six. That's already

845
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: two more matches, a lot more than what we got

846
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: an elimination chamber and most wwpls because pay per views

847
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: are superior to premium live events and aw's bringing it

848
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: on pay per views bringing it. They're giving us so

849
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: many matches, and ww keeps limiting matches. It gets weirder

850
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: and weirder to me. But yeah, this is match number six.

851
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: We got Brodie King versus Swerve Strickland. Let's see who

852
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: the most dangerous man in professional wrestling is? Is it

853
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: Brodie King who? Or is it Swerve Strickland Swerve's house.

854
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: I got all this shit, Jeff, I got it all

855
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: for days. Babies, even doing the audience. Oh yeah, bro

856
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: I got it all man. I'm like Michael Winslow from

857
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: the eighties. I'll do all the sound effects for I

858
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: still love that guy. Anyway. This match is gonna be awesome.

859
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: Brodie King is a mountain of a man and he's

860
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: gonna beast mode and meat head his way through this match.

861
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: And Swerve Strickland is the most sadistic man. He calls

862
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: his fan sickos. He's the most sadistic man in professional wrestling.

863
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't care what you do to him, and he's

864
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: willing to do anything to you. Although he didn't think

865
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: to burn Adam Page's house first. Adam Paige got off

866
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: on that one. But Swarve's winning this match. It's gonna

867
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 1: be bloody, it's gonna be gross, it's gonna be awful

868
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: to watch, and I can't wait for every single second

869
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: of it.

870
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 3: Jeff, who do you pick? Yeah, I'm picking brody King.

871
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 4: Really, I'm gonna pick brody King, the big Bruiser. I

872
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 4: don't think anybody should follow what I'm picking with my

873
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 4: heart here, Pig brody King guy, and I'm gonna pick

874
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 4: brody King all.

875
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: He choked out the champ and beat him to get

876
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: that match. I mean, he lost the championship match, but

877
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: he's still he got the other victory. All right, Well,

878
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: our our producer picks swerve, he goes with he goes

879
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: with me to pick up the win, and Brodie King

880
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be covered in blood when this match is over.

881
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: That dude bleeds like nobody's business. Guys, We're not done yet.

882
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: We got two more matches. We got on Andrede versus

883
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: Bandido and Andrade was really funny. They were backstage with Renee.

884
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: I wish they would have done this in Spanish and

885
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: made Renee feel like left out and then like apologized

886
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: and said then something in English at the end of it.

887
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: That's how I would have like produced the little segment.

888
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: Andrede was like, yo, man, are you a wrestler or

889
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: you just my fan? Like I'm gonna beat your ass.

890
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: Bro Like what are you talking about? He love me

891
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: too much. We're gonna fight. And Banddo was like, oh shit,

892
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: I did kind of play myself. Hey fuck you man,

893
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: I'll find you right here. So we're gonna get a

894
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: great lucha libre match with two fandast gluchadors. It's gonna

895
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: be so much fun. They're gonna fly everywhere. Androda is

896
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: one of my favorite wrestlers. I love his techniques. I

897
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: love his move set. I love the spinning elbow to

898
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: the kick. I love the backflip off the rope. They

899
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: roll out of the way, he does a backhand spring

900
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: and still gets your ass like. I love when they

901
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 1: throw him in the ropes and he just chills there

902
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, what's up baby, Like I just

903
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: he just bleeds cool to me. So I'm super excited

904
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: for the match. I got Andrede winning this. Our producer

905
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: Alex has Andrede winning this. I'm assuming Jeff's got Andrede

906
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: winning this too, But you tell me.

907
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 4: I have Andreda winning this. But here's what I will say. No,

908
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 4: this will be my match of the week and I

909
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 4: haven't even seen it yet. I love I love Luca's

910
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 4: I love the flying, I love the flip. But I

911
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 4: do get annoyed that Andrade doesn't wear a lucha mask.

912
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 4: You love luja, you love Mexican wrestling, You're part of

913
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 4: the culture, You're one of the best at it. Could

Speaker 1: ask escobars As. He's like, I'll walk out with the mask.

918
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: But the ladies, you know, the ladies, he could, they

920
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 4: He needs the recognition. But it's okay. I still like him,

921
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 4: and I say, and I still think you're gonna win?

922
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: All right? Last up? I think it's last up. Yeah,

923
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: the eighth match of the night. We're gonna get eight

924
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: frigging matches, bro, are you kidding me? Man? Is the

925
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: AEW National Championship twenty one man Blackjack Battle Royal. Say

926
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: that five times fast. You can't do it. Oh he's

927
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: blackjack battles, Oh my battle. Okay, you're great at it.

928
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: Ricochet the champ versus twenty competitors that are to be determined.

929
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: A lot of them will be surprises. A few of

930
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: them will know. Here's how we got here. AW is

931
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: using the pay per view to highlight Ricochet's brand new

932
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: title reign by throwing him into absolute chaos and trying

933
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 1: to get people excited the way. All twenty of these

934
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: men will be excited to get this championship, which hopefully

935
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: makes the champion and shit mean a little bit more.

936
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: Rikochet is like a luchador. Basically, he does all the flippy, flippy, bouncy,

937
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: jumpy stuff that everybody loves. I love watching I love

938
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: that he's a champ. I love that he's a heel champ.

939
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: I love his little laugh at the end of the segments,

940
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: the backstage segments where he's like, aha, I think that

941
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: shit is so disrespectful and rude, and it just comes

942
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: off like a perfect shthead heeled thing to do. We're

943
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna get an awesome, awesome crazy. This will be Alex's

944
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: favorite match because it's gonna be chaos, right, chaos. My

945
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: mind has to wrap around chaos and focus on like

946
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: two guys and be like, but there's eight hundred other

947
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: people in the match. I can't concentrate. That's more my

948
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: issue than their issue. But our producer thinks Rikoshet is

949
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: going to lose that title and we're gonna have a

950
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: surprise new champion. How sick would it be, though, if,

951
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: after all this chaos and all this badassory that's going on,

952
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: if if Rickochet somehow is able to maintain his championship

953
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: even through that and his first promo at the end

954
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: of his like yo, I'm better than everybody on the roster,

955
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: and then end it with his haha. And I just

956
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: think that would be awesome. So I'm picking Ricochet to

957
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: retain his championship and we can give it some more

958
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: time and and then you know, you can get a

959
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,439
Speaker 1: storyline where somebody's coming up to get it, like Kevin Knight.

960
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 4: This is like I was saying earlier too, It's like

961
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 4: this format is tricky. It puts you in a real

962
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 4: position because what if just the first guy beats him.

963
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 3: You know, he's like, well, you didn't see.

964
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: Stuff.

965
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 4: I kind of wanted to see more stuff, you know,

966
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 4: So you're kind of stuck in a way with that.

967
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 3: You're limited.

968
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 4: But I love I like that they're taking big swings

969
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 4: and coming up with interesting new ideas. So kudos to

970
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 4: Tony Kahn and a w like I like, I like

971
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 4: new things. I definitely love a gimmick and I respect

972
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 4: a big swings.

973
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 3: So I'm excited for this.

974
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 4: As you know, if you've listened to us long enough,

975
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 4: I'm a big Ricochet guys, So I'm I'm gonna I

976
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 4: hope that Ricochet finds a way to win this thing.

977
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 4: Are there some sort of whatever for whatever it is,

978
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for Ricoshet.

979
