00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode Wrestling

9
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: with Freddy Season What are we in? Six? We're getting

10
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: de People were getting deep, and I feel like we

11
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: have an understanding and a relationship with one another at

12
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: this point. Some of you probably like me, some of

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: you probably get very frustrated with me. You don't like me.

14
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Hopefully none of you are like eh, because then you're

15
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: probably not listening, So I don't think you're either it,

16
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: so I don't think of that. But we had a big, big,

17
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: big weekend of wrestling. I'll get into all of it.

18
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Talk about the stuff we like. Won't talk about the

19
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: stuff we didn't like too too much because I don't

20
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: like to I don't like to throw too much shade.

21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: But there wasn't much on Night one to like, so

22
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: that part will be quick. And then on the Thursday show,

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: because I'm not leaving out, aw, they've been doing some

24
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: great stuff lately. I'm going to get into that on

25
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: the Thursday show Unsanctioned and talk about the MJF Darby

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: Allen storyline. That was the entire episode of Dynamite and

27
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: I thought they just did it so well and everybody

28
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: involved just crushed it. But we're here to talk about WrestleMania.

29
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: Our man Jeff Die is still recovering from his WrestleMania trip.

30
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,279
Speaker 1: He was there, he was our man in the field,

31
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: but he can't be here right now unfortunately, so you're

32
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: stuck with me. So let's start with the free stuff,

33
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: which was it was strange, you know, well, let's start

34
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: with the first match La Night and the USO is

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: an unlikely pairing versus Logan Paul Austin theory and this

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: dude named I show speed as one word, I show speed,

37
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: And I know he's a YouTuber, but I haven't never

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: seen his content, and I guess the connection is Logan

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: Paul is a YouTuber as well, and so maybe they

40
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: know each other and they've like you know, done each

41
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: other's channels or something good spot from the I Show

42
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: Speed Kid. He jumped out, this is the same kid

43
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: that got speared by bron Breaker and like split in

44
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: half in the Royal Rumble I think, And he jumped

45
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: off the tipity top of the ring and did a

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: frog splash onto Logan Paul and killed Logan Paul and

47
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: the crowd cheered and they all went crazy, and then

48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: I show Speed's a good guy, not a bad guy,

49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: so we like, I Show Speed And that was the match.

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: But we didn't make a prediction of this because it

51
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: was part of the pre show and I don't even

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: think the match was made yet. Moving on after a

53
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: nine minute commercial break, what the F was that about? Man?

54
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: We go to the unsanctioned match, and I was really

55
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: excited for this match. I didn't think it should be

56
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: on the free show. I thought it should have been

57
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: a part of the pay per view, but or the whatever,

58
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: the premium live of whatever they want to call it.

59
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: It's a pay per view. If I have to pay

60
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: to view it, it's a pay per view and I paid. Yeah,

61
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: it's weird, man. They didn't give him very long and

62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: it's an unsanctioned match, so they didn't get a long

63
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: time to tell. An unsanctioned story, right, A match with

64
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: no rules, A match that won't affect either man's record

65
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: or positioning, even though it does socially. But as far

66
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: as like you know, what their professional records are, it's unsanctioned.

67
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: Anything goes. They can use Kendos sticks, which they did,

68
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: tables and lions and tigers and bears and all that stuff,

69
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: and uh and Jacob fought too. Got the win, but

70
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: it was quick, which I thought they should have had

71
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: another ten minutes. To be honest with you, I think

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: they had probably about about ten. It felt like about

73
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: ten twelve minutes. Jacob Fatu. It was probably like a

74
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: seventy thirty match, maybe sixty forty seventy thirty. Jacob Fatu

75
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: just beating Drew's ass, and Drew kind of trying to

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: survive and doing desperate things, and eventually he falls to

77
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: the Samoan werewolf. Jacob Fatu went on Raw the next

78
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: night and was talking some smack to Roman Reigns. I

79
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: don't know whose belt he's going after, but at somebody's

80
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: there was no blood, which was weird in an unsanctioned match.

81
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm not usually the blood guy, but there was no

82
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: blood and that was strange to me. Short, short match

83
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: and the commercials kind of killed the vibe. There's such

84
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: a long drought of action in between matches that I

85
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: think it sucks a lot of the energy out of

86
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: the arena. It certainly takes you out of it when

87
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: you're watching it. I mean I just started getting up

88
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: and leaving, leaving the room and started cooking dinner early.

89
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: You know, I was making a sauce. The longer it cooks,

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: the better it tastes. So I just started early and

91
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: wasn't that into it. We all picked Jacob Fatu to win,

92
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: so we made you money on that. Not the easiest,

93
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: but an easier one of the matches to pick. And

94
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: then we move on to one of the few highlights

95
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: of the evening, uh the Women's Tag Team Championship, which

96
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: was a fatal four way and Nikki Bella could not wrestle.

97
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 1: Her foots all jacked up, she's all crutches, Oh my god.

98
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: And she had a surprise guest and it was the

99
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: return of Page. We interviewed her as Sorea on the

100
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: podcast and it was one of my favorite She is

101
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: my favorite guest and one of my favorite interviews. I

102
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: thought her story was awesome and inspiring, and anybody struggling

103
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: with addiction or wanting just to get sober and want

104
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: some like words to get you on the path like her,

105
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't at all. It was just like, no, here's

106
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: what I did, and here's the support group that I had.

107
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: And she was very honest and vulnerable and just cool man,

108
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: just really cool. So it was awesome to see her back.

109
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: The crowd was hyped. One guy knew he had a

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: sign instead welcome back Page, so he wasn't surprised, but

111
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: everybody else was surprised. And they won. They beat Alexa

112
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: Bliss and Charlotte Flair in the middle of the ring

113
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: after Alexa Bliss tried her twisted Bliss and she ate

114
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: the knees, and then Paige finished her. I don't remember

115
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: the name of Page's finisher, the page turner, I think

116
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: it was called. And she put it on Alexa and

117
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: Pinder and they're the champs. So that'll be a short

118
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: term title reign, because I think you want to get

119
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: Paige into singles action as quickly as possible. Her versus

120
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: Becky for the IC title. That would be a cool,

121
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: fun story to tell England versus Ireland. They already hate

122
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: each other, it would be wonderful. But we didn't predict

123
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: this because it was also in the pre show. So

124
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: let's move on to matches that we did predict. Really

125
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: thought Fought Too should have been on the pay per view,

126
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: but what do I know. I'm just a guy that

127
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: talks about this shit. The Women's Intercontinental Championship, we both

128
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: predicted Becky to win. If Jeff would have been here,

129
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: he would have predicted Becky as well, and we were

130
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: all right, and this was the match. I think that

131
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: the result that needed to happen. Storyline wise, Becky had

132
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: been doing all the heavy lifting throughout this story. You know.

133
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: I think they're still trying to find the AJ Lee voice,

134
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: and Becky's voice is well defined, so they can just

135
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: put all the heavy lifting on her and it can

136
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: be her responsibility and she can take him through there.

137
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: They started to get AJ's voice near the end of

138
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: the story, but it took him a little while to

139
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: get there. So yeah, so this one, Becky gets the win.

140
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: We predicted it, and we move on to Gunther versus

141
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: seth Rawlinson again. I wasn't. I knew the match would

142
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: be the match of the night, and it was, but

143
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: it was so forced because like, neither guy had a

144
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: WrestleMania match, and it was like, well, then neither one

145
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: has one, so let's just put him in a match

146
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: against each other, and well how do we get him there? Well,

147
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: he'll just he'll attack Seth and then tell Paul Hayman

148
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: that now Paul owes him a favor, instead of Paul

149
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: going to him and saying, hey, do this for me

150
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: and I'll owa your favor, which might have been more organic.

151
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. Guntherro doesn't seem like the kind of

152
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: guy that looks for favors. He seems to be the

153
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: kind of guy that's in charge of his own career

154
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: and in charge of the careers of others. Is he

155
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: ends them so that it felt forced to me, But

156
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: it was the match of the night. It was awesome.

157
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: Bron Breaker came out interfered, Gunther gets the win, It

158
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: protects Seth. Seth's storyline is with bron Breaker anyway, not

159
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: with Gunther, and not with the future of where Gunther's going,

160
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: which is probably the Heavyweight Championship. Also fat too wanting

161
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: a heavyweight title. Also Oba Famie wanting the heavyweight title. Yo,

162
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: everybody's after Roman rains he's gonna have three legit dudes

163
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: coming for the title. La Knight's always in the mix.

164
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: Even though I don't think the company would would make

165
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: that legit, I always think he can be in the mix.

166
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, so we ball picked Rolins to win. We

167
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: were all wrong, but brown Breaker came in and wrecked

168
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: it for everybody. Otherwise, you know we would have been right.

169
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Sorry for making you this money. The Women's World Championship

170
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: Stephanie Vacher versus Live Morgan Live Morgan.

171
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: Is.

172
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: They didn't strap a rocket ship to her. I want

173
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: to be clear. They gave her a storyline, and she

174
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: did so well in the storyline that the rocket ship

175
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: was more organic. None of it felt forced on the audience.

176
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: She has done such a great job with who her

177
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: character is. Now that she had to win this match,

178
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: you can't go through all this and lose. And I'm

179
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: not talking about her like a babyface. It's just everything

180
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: she tried worked, even the music video. It was out

181
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: of place, I'll give you that, but she still showed

182
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: that she's talented. It was just like, yo, what you

183
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: hate this girl? You hate her mother? She's talking shit

184
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: to you in Spanish. You're getting shit talked in multiple languages.

185
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: You got your head smashed in and then here's a

186
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: music video. So yes, it was out of place, but

187
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: she was still talented and cool. Her entrance was cool.

188
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: All the entrances were super long, which some people didn't like.

189
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: But I think it's WrestleMania and you need that extra pageantry.

190
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: I think they deserve that. Still, we should have got

191
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: less matches and longer matches, and it should have been

192
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: in one night. But I digress. So back to the match.

193
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: So Stephanie Vikaer did a good job. I love the

194
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: bilingual stuff. I love them representing Latinos like that, and

195
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: they stayed true to that. But live if you put

196
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: them next to each other, was the bigger star of

197
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: the two, and I think until that star starts to fade,

198
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: the belt should be on the biggest star, and eventually

199
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: it fades. You know, stars get brighter and darker. You know,

200
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: it's not like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. You know,

201
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: it's much more. There's layers to it, and I think

202
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: she's just so on fire, right, now you had to

203
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: put the belt on her. That's why I picked her

204
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: to win. Alex picked Stephanie. You knew not to trust

205
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: Alex on this one, though. You need to trust your boy.

206
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: So she's going to be the centerpiece now Live Morgan

207
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: of Monday Night Raw, which is super super cool. Stephanie

208
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: takes an l which sucks, but she can still be

209
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: in tons of good storylines. I'll be honest with you,

210
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: Becky's made the IC title mean almost as much as

211
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: the women's main title anyway, So you can put anyone

212
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: in that storyline and it genuinely means something. I don't

213
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: think she's going to step all the way down to

214
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: put someone else over. I just think right now it's

215
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: Lives time. So yeah. So moving on to the undisputed

216
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: WWE Championship, Cody Rhodes versus Randy Org. We both picked

217
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: Randy to win, and we were both wrong. Although he

218
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: ended the match standing over Cody with the belt, the

219
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: whole match was great. I didn't like the beginning and

220
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: I didn't like the I didn't like the Pat McAfee stuff.

221
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: I didn't think that stuff worked at the end, especially,

222
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: I thought I made the match very confusing. Cody's doing

223
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: some heal stuff. He pokes Randy in the eye. Randy

224
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: doesn't realize it's the ref behind him, thinks it might

225
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: be Cody because he can't see because he got poked

226
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: in the eye. Here, r Ko's the ref. The ref's

227
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: not there to count. Pat McAfee comes in after getting

228
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: elbowed by jelly Roll too. Jelly Roll, who's done a

229
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: better job I thought than Pat until the very end

230
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: when I thought Pat's last promo was super super solid.

231
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: But he drops the elbow got them out of there,

232
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: which was good. We've we had enough celebrity stuff on

233
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: the road to wrestle Mania. We need to focus on

234
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: the match. We get to focus on the match, and

235
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: then at the end we get distracted again as Pat

236
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: comes out, and then a lot of confusion as to

237
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: who is the good guy, who is the bad guy?

238
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't care, and if so, then that's that's cool.

239
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: It seemed like they were trying so hard to make

240
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: Randy the bad guy in the build up and Cody

241
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: the good guy in the build up, and they just

242
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: they weren't able to do that. Because nobody wants to

243
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: boo Randy anymore. I told him this when I was

244
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: the guest General Manager where you get to be GM

245
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: for a day. Put a great storyline that was and

246
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: they were like, yeah, they're starting to cheer Randy and

247
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: I was like, well, yeah, he's the best wrestler in

248
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: the world. Like they they love him. He's like yeah,

249
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: but Vince wants him to be a bad guy, so

250
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: we need you to come out and do this spot

251
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 1: and he's gonna he's gonna hit you with an r

252
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: KO or no, he hit me with a modified backbreaker.

253
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: But they were saying, let's he was gonna hit me

254
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: with an r KO and then everybody likes you, so

255
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: they'll they'll boom. And I was like, well, what what city? Like,

256
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: where are we going to and win? And they gave

257
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: me the date and they said Saint Louis and I

258
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: was like, yo, Saint Louis. Like so I go, they're

259
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: not gonna boom, They're gonna cheer. They're gonna boom me. Man,

260
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna love Randy. And they didn't listen to me,

261
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: and we went out there. I'm sure shit. They cheered

262
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: when I got the modified backbreaker and they booed me,

263
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: and uh, it was it was just horrible. It didn't work.

264
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: So it's just like, you know, if the crowd's telling

265
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: you they want someone to be a face, just let

266
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: them be the face. And then I think they tried that.

267
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: I know Nick con says they don't listen to criticism,

268
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: but they do, or they wouldn't have banned Homeboys press

269
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: credentials with ESPN. They got a little hurt by the

270
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: sea that they got, so they do. That's just corporate stuff.

271
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: And remember ninety nine point nine percent of everything that's

272
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: leaked or comes out on like their social media is work.

273
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: It's always a work. It's never it's never real. So

274
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: when you see like reports of like TKO is in

275
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: charge of the storylines, like they want you to think that,

276
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: because they might probably have a storyline of like the

277
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: ww wrestlers versus the TKO wrestlers coming down the pipe

278
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: for you guys, So just remember it's all You're always

279
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: getting worked by them. It's all. It's all bs. There's

280
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: no like leaked stories. Maybezer point one percent of the time. Anyway,

281
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: it was a good match, but it doesn't get Match

282
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: of the Night because of the beginning and the end

283
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: for me, So yeah, it was weird. I don't know

284
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: where Cody goes from here. Looks like he's injured because

285
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: he got punted in the friggin head. He took the win,

286
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: but he looked like the loser. At the end of

287
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: the fight. Randy looked like the winner, but he took

288
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: the l Does he get a rematch, a backlash and

289
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: get the belt there? I don't think so. I don't know.

290
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: It was just it was just strange. It felt like

291
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: the match was more about trying to establish who they're

292
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna be rather than who they are now, If that

293
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: makes sense. I don't know. Anyway, it was confusing to

294
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: me too. If I sound confused, it's because I am. So.

295
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Let's move on to a better night, Ladies and gentlemen,

296
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: Night two WrestleMania forty two. We got Oba Femi versus

297
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: brock Lessener. Come on, everybody was excited for this. Oba

298
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: comes down? Does the little Mickey mouse strutt Hot Dog,

299
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: Hot Dog? Hot digg? It a dog? You guys remember

300
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: that if you have kids, you had to watch that

301
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: friggin show with your children. OVI Femmy beat brock Lessener.

302
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: Brocklesner threw up an X, which usually means someone's hurt.

303
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: But he threw up an X and then he left

304
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: his gloves and his boots in the ring, and it

305
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: looks like he retired. And that's that's it for Brocklessener.

306
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of speculation out there as to why.

307
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: But the more important thing is to remember the matches

308
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: he did, the crazy Psycho Moon Salt that he did

309
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: against Kurt Angle, the eddiekt Getreto matches. You know, it's

310
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: just the rocket ship that was strapped to him, and

311
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: rightfully so, the successful UFC career that he had, and

312
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: just the all around bad assery when everyone would hear

313
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: that intro to his music and then Paul Haymen would

314
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: come out and talk some shit. And then as he

315
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: got older, he got he got more comfortable talking a

316
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: little shit, and then he did some great jobs at

317
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: the end. Man, So it was a good career if

318
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: that's the end, but maybe, like Jeff says, it's never

319
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: the end. They always come back. Sena already came back.

320
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: He was the host of WrestleMania, so he's not even gone.

321
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: He's still there selling us stuff during commercials WWE Club.

322
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: By the way, guys, there's no weightlist for the club.

323
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: They do that in Hollywood like private clubs as well.

324
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: There's no weight list. They say that in the hopes

325
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: they get a bunch of people and then suddenly everyone

326
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: gets an email congratulations you got in. They may like

327
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: branch it out, but it's not like they can't handle

328
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: the numbers that are gonna come swarming in. And there's

329
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be a WW club in a year anyway.

330
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: That shit's not gonna work. So don't worry about putting

331
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: your name on the list. Here we go, Oh shout

332
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: out to Oba. And by the way, who's gonna freaking

333
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: wrestle Roman reigns? Is it Jacob at Backlash? Did they

334
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: establish that on Monday Night Raw? Is that why that

335
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: was there? Like Roman, I thought said, I'm gonna give

336
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: you a week to acknowledge me. Man, Like, so I

337
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: don't know who. I don't know who's who it's gonna be.

338
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: And if it is, do one of the does Gunther

339
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: interrupt the match? We get a no contest and then

340
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: we get a triple thread of Fatu, Gunther and Roman

341
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: and the next one, you know what I mean? Like,

342
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how they tell that story, but it's exciting.

343
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that. I try to give love when

344
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: I think they do good stuff. And I have a

345
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of options right now with the Monday Night Raw

346
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: World Championship picture. Now that Punk's out of the way

347
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: and it's a much different type of champion. Punk has

348
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: to have a Roman Reigns to go against, or they're

349
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: always gonna boo the opponent, even if the opponent's the

350
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: baby base so's. It's gotta be someone at that level

351
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: that takes the belt off him, otherwise people would be pissed. Okay,

352
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: the Intercontinental Championship Ladder match. Look, we all picked Penta

353
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: to win this. You guys picked Penta to win this.

354
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: This was the easiest match of the night to predict

355
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: because pent is a freaking star. He's a superstar and

356
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: a superstar like he's top top shelf man, top top shelf.

357
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: My daughter was watching him when he came out, watched

358
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: him wrestle. She loved is look everything. She's sixteen. She

359
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: watches some wrestling, but not as consistently as I do.

360
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: So when she's noticing people pop off the screen, that

361
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: lets you know, as a more hardcore consumer, like, oh okay,

362
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: this person could be a mainstream star. Same with Trick Williams. Dad,

363
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: who's that? Dad? Oh my god, his interests? Dad? Look

364
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: at his coat. DLL. He's a good looking guy, dadd

365
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: he's good on the mic, like all these things. That's

366
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: letting you know, someone's popping from somebody that's not a

367
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: hardcore fan. Because we consume it all and we either

368
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 1: like it or hate it, but we're going to consume

369
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 1: it either way. Right, it's like Star Wars. Here we

370
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: go the United States Championship. Speaking of Trick Williams, let's

371
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: talk about it, because he wrestled Sammy's ain for the

372
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: United States Championship and he won that match. We all

373
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: got it right. Jeff would have picked Trick Williams too.

374
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: You know, Jeff loves Trick Williams. Everybody loves Trick Williams.

375
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Clean title win, no cheating, Sammy

376
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: was getting booed like hell. Rocket Ship on Trick is

377
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: not for the world title, but to establish him weekly

378
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: wrestling so he can get more experience with the US title.

379
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: So that's super smart, I think. And then with Sammy,

380
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really interesting right because it feels like

381
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: the crowd is either wanting him to turn heel or

382
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: they're treating him as if he is already won and

383
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: he's not seeing it. I don't know. I can't read

384
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: their mind, so I don't know what people are thinking,

385
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: but their reaction seems to be one or the other,

386
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: or a slight combination of the two. So where does

387
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: he go he has to go. He's gone through self doubt.

388
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: Now he's going to go through some self hate, right,

389
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: we'll see that on SmackDown, where he probably punishes himself

390
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: and like punches himself in the face or something. He'll

391
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: probably talk to Adam Pierce and be like, you gotta

392
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: give me another shot, and he's like, hey man, you're

393
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: going down to the back of the line. Like it

394
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: doesn't work like that. You know, you didn't have a no,

395
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: you didn't have a rematch clause in the contract. It's

396
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: just for the title. So all kinds of bad shit's

397
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: going to happen to him, and I think he's gonna

398
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: start blaming everyone else except himself and maybe we get

399
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: a heel Sammy's ain. If they're going that direction, I

400
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: think they're doing it in a very smart, long drawn

401
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: out way, so it's not this weird, unbelievable shock and

402
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: we've actually got to watch him on this journey battle

403
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: his own morality, right and otherwise if he's a babyface,

404
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: he's just feeling sorry for himself and they need someone

405
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: to smack the shit out of him and kind of

406
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: wake him up. And that's not as exciting of the story,

407
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: at least not to me. So that I think is

408
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: the future for Sammy is the heel root. Now it's

409
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: time for the demon, who's so committed to the character,

410
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: even painting his tongue, and he let us know twenty

411
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: seven times during the match. Finn Balor versus Dominic Misterio,

412
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: the ultimate babyface, the ladies Man, the man with the

413
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: greatest mustache mullet combo in the game today. He's been

414
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: abused by Rhea Ripley, abused by Live Morgan, abused by

415
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: Stephanie Vacare, abused and used by by women his whole

416
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: life because he's so handsome. But he lost, Son of

417
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: a bitch, Dominic, I can't believe you. At least it

418
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: wasn't for his title. He still has the Triple A title,

419
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: so that's cool. We picked Finn to win, and uh,

420
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: he had he had to win. And his next match

421
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: was against j D McDonough as he's sort of like

422
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: taking them out one by one, right. And the Monday

423
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: Night Raw promos they did were really cool against each other.

424
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: They were backstage promos and and they had, uh, you know,

425
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: there's always a lot of talk on the Raw after

426
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: WrestleMania because dudes have to rest. But now Finn Balor,

427
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: because he didn't wrestle with WrestleMania, the Demon wrestled to WrestleMania.

428
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: Finn Balor's fine, he could wrestle on a Monday night

429
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: and he did and he's a beast. But he won

430
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: the match. My guy lost. Dominic lost, but I picked

431
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: him to lose anyway, because I'm here to make you money,

432
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: not pick my favorites. Next up the WWE Women's Champion

433
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: and ship Jade Cargill versus Ria Ripley. And I don't

434
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: think this was the original plan. If you remember, Ria

435
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: was on Monday Night Raw. They brought her over to

436
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: SmackDown after Bionca got hurt her finger got hurt. I

437
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: think the original plan was Bianca Belair versus Jade Cargill

438
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: at WrestleMania, but the finger and she just announced for pregnancy.

439
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: Congrats to her making super badass wrestling babies. And so

440
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: this is Jade versus Ria. I think everybody knew Ria

441
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: was going to get this w I think so it

442
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: seemed obvious in the story anyway, and Jade even had

443
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: to get help from from girls. She just beat down

444
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: a couple weeks before. So I felt like Rio was

445
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: gonna win based on the booking. She did pretty good

446
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: match one Wing and Angel out there. Shout out to

447
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega. Surprised they let an aw move like that

448
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: into WW. I thought that was pretty cool. But we

449
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: all picked Ria to win, and she did because she's Ria.

450
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: The World Heavyweight Championship an event seem Punk versus Roman

451
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: Reigns for the championship, the World Heavyweight Championship that is,

452
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: and the result was Roman Reigns winning. We both picked

453
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: Roman to win, and CM Punk told the story that

454
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: I've been hoping he would tell for a long time,

455
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: and I think he picked the right pay per view

456
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: to show it. To WrestleMania. You could tell means a

457
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: lot to him. It didn't mean shit to aj Styles.

458
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: He even like talked about it. I was like, hey,

459
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't have the shine it used to have. He's

460
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: not loving it. But to Punk, who you can tell

461
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: is just kind of lives, breathes and identifies by by

462
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: wrestling and the character he created, that this was important

463
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: to him. And he went down like the old wrestler

464
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: who gave it all he had, but he just ran

465
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: out of steam at the end. And it's like the

466
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: uh was that old story about John Henry versus the

467
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: steam drill and he was like using a hammer and

468
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: a spike to to make a tunnel through the mountain

469
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: and the steam drill could just go right through. And

470
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: John Henry says, well, I'm not using that. I'm the

471
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: old school guy and that new school stuff's for the

472
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: birds and I'll beat that drill. And they's ready set goh,

473
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: and they start the steam drill and John Henry because

474
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: he's hammering away through the mountain, John Henry is close.

475
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: It's halfway and they're tied and John Henry pulls out

476
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: and John Henry wins, Yeah, John Henry, And then John

477
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Henry dies at the end of the story because he

478
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: worked too hard. He worked harder, not smarter, And that

479
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: was kind of the story they told. Man, it was

480
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: like the Steam Drill versus the Old Warrior, and the

481
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: Steam Drill won again. Roman Reigins got the wind went

482
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: on Monday night, Raw threw up the ones, brought the

483
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: USO's out with him. Jacob Fatu came out. He wasn't

484
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: throwing up ones unless it was a middle finger talking

485
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: about backlash, and that was WrestleMania. All in all, it

486
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: was not one of my favorites. I like the main

487
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: event on Night two. I wanted to like Fa too

488
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: drew a little more. It was still a good match.

489
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: I just wish they would have had another ten minutes

490
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: to do their thing. The latter match was a lot

491
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: of fun and Goonther and Seth was a good match,

492
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: but again it won't be I don't think it'll go

493
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: down as a remembered match because there's no story to

494
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: connect it to. It was just a really good match.

495
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: So three to four matches out of everything, I thought

496
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: we're quality and I really felt like they could have

497
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: done the whole show in one night. I don't think

498
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: they needed to, but they get that tax credit. I

499
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: think it's eighteen percent or twenty three percent. I'd make

500
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: independent movies and we film in a lot of states.

501
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: They all have a different tax break, which basically gives

502
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: you a tax credit. Once you get the money, it

503
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: takes a little while to file the paperwork and then

504
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: get it back, but for every dollar you spend in

505
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: the state, you get that percentage back, right, so every

506
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: dollar they're getting either eighteen to twenty three percent back

507
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: on every dollar they spent in the city of Las

508
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: Vegas tax credit. That's how movies get made in Georgia.

509
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: Georgia gave a great tax break, and then once England

510
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: gave a better one, Hollywood fucking bailed on Georgia un

511
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: left that whole state just in shock. And that state

512
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: invested so much money into Hollywood and making these movies,

513
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, now they just have empty

514
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: stages and the stages that were taxpayer built in some cases,

515
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: not in all cases, but sometimes their taxpayer built sound stages,

516
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: and then they're just empty. And because Hollywood has no

517
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: loyalty whatsoever, it's just wherever they can get the best

518
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: tax break so they can get a bigger fucking bonus.

519
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: Because it's all corporate now, no, there's no executives with

520
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: that take shots to take have like you know, the

521
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: old school morality. It's cutthroat. Now, it's eliminate our partners.

522
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: Don't work with our partners, destroy them. That's kind of

523
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: like the streaming philosophy against movie theaters, Like they're literally

524
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: working against movie theaters. Those are our partners. We showcase

525
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: movies to them every year to try to get them

526
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: ex I to carry. There are partners, and we treat

527
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: them like shit. Now. So yeah, so they got the

528
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 1: tax credit, they got tons of money and commercials. I

529
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: think it was a four hour show and it was

530
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: ninety minutes of wrestling in a four hour show. That's

531
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: what a lot of people were complaining about. That's what

532
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: I saw online. If I'm wrong, then please let us

533
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: know on our socials. But if I'm close, don't be like, well,

534
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: actually it was point two more than what you say.

535
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: You don't have to be exact and perfect. I'm not

536
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 1: a scientist or a statistician, but yeah, they did less

537
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: attendance than they did last year. Tons of commercials. Some

538
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: of the commercial breaks were longer than some of the matches,

539
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: which is nuts. And I think probably next year or

540
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: the year after, they'll probably start doing commercials mid match too.

541
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: It'll be picture and picture, at least in the early goings.

542
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: But I bet you they start doing commercials in matches

543
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: just like they do on regular TV, and it's not

544
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: going to feel as special anymore. But they want that

545
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: money and they're going to get it. Thanks for tuning in.

546
