A little bit of news. A 21 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: lot of news coming in, but we'll make it quick. 22 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: The Hulu deal is changing. SmackDown used to air the 23 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: next day on Hulu. It's now going to transition over 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: to Peacock for Next Day streaming as their deal with 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: Hulu just ended. As far as Raw Next Day streaming, 26 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: that's going to remain on Hulu until the end of 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and then that's when Raw is going 28 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: to officially move all their replace to Netflix, which is 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: where Raw will be as well in the new year. 30 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: So enjoy all that news. But we also learned a 31 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: little bit more about ae W and their new deal. 32 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: Dynamite and Collision are going to stay on TBS and 33 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: TNT and they're going to be putting their pay per 34 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: views on Max. I still don't know why Max got 35 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: the control of the name when they weren't as cool 36 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: as HBO. Max was like where like the sexy movies 37 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: were at like land a Night, Skin a Max. Everybody 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: called it like nobody ever had like a slander for HBO. 39 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: They just made cool stuff. I feel like it should 40 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: still be HBO. Cinemax was the first when I was 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: a young boy going through puberty long ago. Cinemax was 42 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: the first time I realized that everyone has sex. 43 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: There's one. I was like, oh, even gross, people have sex, 44 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: Like I didn't know. I was a kid. I didn't know. 45 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: So then I was like, oh, yeah, one hundred percent 46 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 3: of people, or have even the people we see amongst 47 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 3: us in society, they're. 48 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: All they're all doing it. That's right, everybody gets busy. 49 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: I think the show is called real Sex, and it 50 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 3: was like just everyday people. 51 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: These are the lessons you learn on wrestling with friends people. 52 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: Everybody's doing it. We also learned that Rampage will be ending, 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: but fear not, for there will be a news show 54 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: that looks like it's called Shockwave and it could possibly 55 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: be heading towards Fox. Fox wants to stay in the 56 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: wrestling business, and all the companies that they own also 57 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: want to be in the wrestling business as well. They 58 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: all believe in philosophy of having multiple wrestling brands on 59 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: their networks as well, because wrestling is back, and you 60 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: can quote me on that, they're not afraid. At least 61 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: I know for a fact that two networks aren't afraid 62 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: to have two different wrestling brands on their network, and 63 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: that's that should be the biggest news update, but it's not. Alas. 64 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 3: I would like to ask the question to the listeners 65 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 3: and correct me if I'm wrong, criticize me if you're 66 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 3: not on board with this, but also let me know 67 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: if you agree. Does it feel like it's too much? 68 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 3: The USA? This, the Fox, that, the the TNT, TNA, 69 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: blah blah blah. It's going to Netflix, it's streaming. SmackDown 70 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: is now three hours raw, it's cut to two. We're 71 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: going back to three in the fall. It seems like 72 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 3: too much. I just want to go to a place 73 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: watch my It's already confusing enough that it's rampage, smack 74 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: Down raw, NXT. There's all these different kinds of things 75 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 3: where you're going. I guess it's like a lot of 76 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 3: different stuff. But now the networks are gone. So is 77 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 3: it too much or am I? 78 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: I don't think you're crazy. I think I think you're 79 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: pretty dead on. I think things will obviously settle in, 80 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: and once they do, it'll feel less chaotic because it 81 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: will be less chaotic. But I think you're feeling that 82 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: because it is that everything is kind of moving and 83 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: jumping and bouncing around and changing formats and changing looks. 84 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: We'll get into that on the Friday Night SmackDown when 85 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: they did that cool Snacksound New Smack Sound, that cool 86 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: new promo style promo with the Roman Rains and Cody Roads. 87 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, there is a lot of flux right now, 88 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: and so I think that's why you feel that way, 89 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: and you're probably not alone. But it is all going 90 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: to settle in. The big dogs are all going to 91 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: have their new homes and their new five year deals, 92 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: or they could even be longer. I don't I'm just 93 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: throwing five out there because it's a stand. It's usually 94 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: a standard deal five to seven. And then I think 95 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: there's room for some of the smaller ones to come up, 96 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: not just TNA, but some of like the mlws and 97 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: the and the GCW's. I think there's room for them 98 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: to find a spot in TV. And I know that 99 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: there's it works interested in their in their product. So 100 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: so yeah, man, I think there's gonna be a lot 101 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: and the flux can last. You know, it lasts as 102 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: long as it lasts, but as long as people are 103 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: talking wrestling and people are wanting to be in business 104 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: with wrestling. Once it settles in, everybody kind of has 105 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: a home. Everyone develops their own fan base. Every fan 106 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: base goes ours is better, and it becomes like baseball, 107 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like that is, let's 108 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: instead of you know, playing against each other, you're comparing ratings, 109 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: and you're comparing promos against other promos that are matches 110 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: versus your matches. But I think that's all good for 111 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: the for the for the product. 112 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: That is the positive side of it's good for wrestling. 113 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: If everybody wants to be in the wrestling business, that's 114 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 3: good for wrestling. I was just wondering because occasionally I 115 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: will criticize something and I'll go, oh, this is just 116 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 3: me getting older, because when I was young, there was 117 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: two channels. We had TNT and we had USA, and 118 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: you would jump back and forth with the Monday Night 119 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 3: Ross or the Monday Night Wars, or just in general. 120 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 3: You would even before or after the Monday Night Wars, 121 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: you would still jump back and forth with two channels. 122 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 3: Whereas now it seems like, because of the Internet and 123 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 3: social media, we're constantly talking about like if they sold 124 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 3: out Philadelphia, or like all the attendance in Berlin was. 125 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 3: So it's like there's just all these new kind of 126 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: wrestling conversations that I'm like, I'm not a sports agent 127 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: or a network executive. I don't care about any of 128 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: this stuff. I'll watch wrestling if you put it on 129 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: Telemundo or you put it on USA or you put 130 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 3: it on whatever, I'm gonna watch it. So I'm just 131 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 3: wondering when I say, is it too much? 132 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: Is it? 133 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: Do we care? And if we do care, why, And 134 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 3: I'm just trying to get to the bottom of that. 135 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: But it's good to know that people are wrestling. That's 136 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: the bro point. Yeah, TV deals the answers. We're both 137 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: getting older, that's the answer. I think. 138 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: You know what, though, I think to people outside the 139 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: entertainment industry who have a genuine interest in the entertainment industry, 140 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: they're interested in not just the creative side, but the 141 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: analytics as well. For me, the analytics, the analytics are 142 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: something that I have to deal with in contracts for 143 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: movies and TV and stuff like that, but it's never 144 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: anything I like to deal with. I just want to 145 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: make what I like making and let the business people, 146 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, deal with that other crep because it's it's 147 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: just unattractive to me. And I know it's show business 148 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: and I'm very aware of which words bigger, but sometimes 149 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: we focus so much on the business side of things 150 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: that we forget the show and h and. 151 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: Stand up comedy right now is all business and no show. 152 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: So is everything, and that's the problem, and I think 153 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: that has to correct eventually, and I think it corrects 154 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 1: by people talking about it and saying, hey, I think 155 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: we're going a little too far in this direction, and 156 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: we're almost following corporate philosophies instead of creating our own. 157 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, so more wrestling is good. Boundary pushing is good, 158 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: especially in art. I think you have to. You have 159 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: to challenge ideas in art, whether it's brutality on camera 160 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: and blood and stuff like that that I gets squeamished by, 161 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: but I still accept it's an evolution of wrestling to 162 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: the types of promos people can say, from from a 163 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: standard CM punk to to a pipe bomb type promo 164 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: from from MJF and everything in between. Like all that 165 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: stuff needs to exist. The crowd will let you know 166 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: if you can get away with it twice. If they 167 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: hate it, they're gonna let you know right away. But 168 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: you still have to be allowed to make that mistake 169 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: and screw up. But under a corporate philosophy, those mistakes 170 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: are no longer allowed because they're publicly traded companies and 171 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: people on social media know that, and if they get 172 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: a hashtag strong enough, it applies pressure to the publicly 173 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: traded company, which then loses value. So all this stuff 174 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: is connected and it sucks. And artists should just be able. 175 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: We talk about this like every week now, but artists 176 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: should just be able to make art. And that's what 177 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: professional wrestlers are. They are artists and they stake there art. 178 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. You know, Like we might not like 179 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 3: a needle through, but I thought, we're not talking about 180 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 3: we got we got to respect a big swing swing 181 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 3: and that's what we like. So it's kind of the 182 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: same thing for everything. 183 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like that movie studio A twenty four, Like 184 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: you can say what you want about them, but they 185 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: are independent. They are not owned by a corporation, and 186 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: they take big swings. Sometimes they hit with movies like 187 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: X and that trilogy that they put together. Sometimes it's 188 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: a miss, but they take swings because they can. They 189 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: allow themselves to make mistakes and evolve and develop as 190 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: a company, whereas a lot of these studios. And I 191 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: hate to say this because you know, I work for them, 192 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: and I don't like you know, I don't like criticizing 193 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: your boss, But I try to say these things in 194 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: a constructive way. We have to trust artists way more 195 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: than we do, and mistakes must be allowed. If they're not, 196 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: then there is no evolution. We just stay put under 197 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: like this sort of this sort of like cyberpunk corporate 198 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: philosophy that can't exist, like everything can exist under that. 199 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: That's only one way of thinking. Talks some freaking wrestling, dude, 200 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk about CM punk. CM Punk's worst promo is 201 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: a nine on a scale of one to ten. His 202 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: medium promo is a ten out of ten. And when 203 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: he's awesome, there is no like promo that can really 204 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: hang with his. It's just he's in a rare air 205 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: and there's like one other guy right now who can 206 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: do that, and that's Max. He's done it multiple times. 207 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: He hasn't he didn't do it. I didn't think with 208 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: the will Osprey thing, although that was a cool story. 209 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: I just wish it would have gone on longer and 210 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: they could have told the longer one. But he's done 211 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: it as well. But cmpunk has done it forever forever. 212 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: And I know everyone Gusha's on cmpunk, but I've been 213 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 1: critical of Punk at times. We both Yeah, I want 214 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: to acknowledge when he is great, And this was such 215 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: a subtle not humble at all, but dangerous promo, and 216 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: he let himself sound and look old, but he there 217 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: was wisdom in that age, and there was experience in 218 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: that age, and there was vulnerability in that age, and 219 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: he just told the truth, and the truth is, Yeah, 220 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people told me not to do this, 221 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: but I don't give a fuck what anybody else said. 222 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to listen to the voice inside me. Over 223 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: my wife, over my sister, over my friends, over my family. 224 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: Fuck you, man, I'll see your ass in hell. And 225 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: it was such. He said it so much better than 226 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying it, and I'm putting more passion into it 227 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: than he did. He played this very stoic. It was 228 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: very stoic, like you're not getting emotion out of me anymore, Drew, 229 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: I'm just going to kill you, and I'm prepared to die. 230 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: And that's a great thing. Like I remember that Israel 231 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: Atisania fight. We're in between rounds. You can see him 232 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: out the words. I think it was against Joel Romero 233 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: where he said I'm prepared to die. I'm prepared to die, 234 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: and he's telling himself that before the fucking round starts, 235 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: which is such an insane thing. And it makes you 236 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: realize in UFC fights, oh yeah, these dudes could die 237 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: like they could if the ref's too slow, they could die. 238 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: Like it's such a hardcore thing. So when people say 239 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: that in WW we make it real, right, that's such 240 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: real shit for his character to say, based on what 241 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: he's gone through with this other character and Drew McIntyre 242 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: and I love that they keep them apart. And it's like, 243 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: if Drew's gonna cut the promo, Punk's not allowed in 244 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: the building that week. And if Punk's gonna cut the promo, 245 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: Drew suspended or is injured from the beat that like, 246 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: they always keep them apart, and they've turned this into 247 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: maybe it's I'm not the bloodline story, but the Bloodline 248 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: story is like the foundation that all other stories are 249 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: existing on right now because it's gone on for over 250 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: a year. It's like over two years now. But this 251 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: has been a wonderful, refreshing dose of old school wrestling 252 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: presented in a new school way, from their entrances to 253 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: the transitions from segment to segment, to the shit that 254 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: they're talking to each other and the reasons why they're fighting, 255 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: And it's been so much fun to watch that there's 256 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: times where I'm like, you guys know me well enough 257 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: to be like, I like a long drawn out story. 258 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: Maybe some people think this is going on too long, 259 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: But I love that they don't touch each other. I 260 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: love that they just talk shit. I love the way 261 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: Drew handles the crowd when they scream see him punk. 262 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: That chant is getting him over and it's the chant 263 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: of someone else's name, and he's so smart about it. Like, 264 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: I just love everything about this dude. And now I'll 265 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: shut up and let you tell everyone. 266 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 3: What do you mean? This is what we want?

I mean, I feel 396 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 3: like they should try to make that strap a little 397 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 3: bit more prestigious. But either way, it's is if he's 398 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 3: gonna be called main event Jay, Like, I don't really 399 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 3: see the ice seat belt as the main event. You 400 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 3: maybe keep it on Bron do some shenanigans for Jay 401 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 3: so that he can go kind of pursue the heavyweight 402 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 3: Championship as the you know, the world title. 403 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess just looking at it story wise, 404 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: you can't take that belt off of Gunther because you're 405 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: establishing him as the freaking man for Seth Rollins to 406 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: come back, so then he'd have to lose there too. 407 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: So maybe they're saying it's it's better to lose to 408 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: the up and comer than it is to guntherro. I 409 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: don't know, man, I just wish he would have lost 410 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: that eliminator match to any of the other three dudes, 411 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: and you can protect him and just let him have 412 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: Damien and Ria's back for a little while longer, and 413 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: then him and Finn can beef it up and he 414 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: can beat Finn's ass and then move on to one 415 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: of those other belts something like that. I just I 416 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: think he's in a tough spot and I don't want 417 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: to see him lose, and he for sure has to lose. 418 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 3: There was an interesting thing I wanted to talk about 419 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 3: in the Little with an interview or whatever. It's called 420 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 3: the backstage thing where Ria and Finn were having a 421 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 3: thing and then Jay came up and kind of defended 422 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 3: Rhea's honor and Finn's like, no problem here, and like 423 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 3: walked away. There was a moment Finn Balor said, listen. 424 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 3: He points to Rihea and goes, Jay, you're out of 425 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 3: your league. She's out of your league, you know. And 426 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 3: then he goes, he goes, why don't you focus on 427 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 3: the IC championship that you got coming up, you know? 428 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 3: And then Rhea agreed, She goes, you know, Finn's right, 429 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 3: and he goes, I think this was improved. Jay goes, 430 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 3: what that, I'm out of your league? And then she's like, no, 431 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 3: that's no. I meant that you should focus on your 432 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 3: icy belt. Oh sorry, I think that that part was 433 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 3: in the script. I think this next line that jay 434 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 3: said was improved, where he goes, I was gonna say 435 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 3: they kind of suggested, kind of suggesting like girl, you 436 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 3: ain't out of my league, which I thought clashed with 437 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 3: kind of what they're doing. Cause his little lineup being 438 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 3: like cause girl, you ain't out of my league might 439 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 3: fit his character, but it doesn't really fit what they're 440 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 3: doing where he's like smitten over Rhea and has a crush, 441 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 3: you know. Like I thought that that was a strange 442 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 3: because even she kind of like looked like in them 443 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 3: like strange, Like she wasn't expecting them to. 444 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: Say that jay Us is his own man. You gotta 445 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: understand that he's not gonna take it from anybody, not 446 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: even a girl that he that he'll defend the honor of. 447 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: He's not gonna take it from anybody.

Ever since, ever since Big 488 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: Ee has has has had his injury, which I believe 489 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: he's recovered from, but it still was a broken neck, 490 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: so he probably can't wrestle again. But ever since he's 491 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: been gone, they haven't had the success that they had together. 492 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: You know, two world champions, a King of the Ring, 493 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: multi time tag champions, and since then, not too much 494 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: and things have been going weird. He had to deal 495 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: with the Final Testament. The Final Testament. He had to 496 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: deal with them, and they planted some seeds of doubt 497 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: in his head that I didn't think would get through. 498 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: But they've gotten through. And then Kofi made a crucial 499 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: mistake and made a strategic decision for their tag team 500 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: Championship match and he asked for help from the LWO 501 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: without telling his tag team partner. Now, this pissed Xavier 502 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: Woods off and the best friends are having beef, and 503 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: I totally get where Woods is coming from. Former guest 504 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: of the show, Xavier Woods. I get where he's coming from, 505 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: because I'd be pissed too, Jeff, if you did some 506 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: plans and didn't tell me about it for the show 507 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I'm just like learning about 508 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 1: it in front of the people who came in. There 509 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: were guests on the show, and I'm like, yo, man, 510 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: why didn't you tell me that I was going to 511 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: be interviewing people like this? And You're like, look, man, 512 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to do what's best for the show. 513 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: I'd be like, come on, man, something's got to change, 514 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: and I would walk off right and Alex is our 515 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: big eie, and he would have to come in and say, listen, listen, 516 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: we brought this team together, were in this together through 517 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: thick and thin. This is the thin times. Now. We 518 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: still got to stick together and he would pull us 519 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: back together. And that's why I'm thinking that this story 520 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: is bringing back Biggie. I don't know if this is 521 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: a wrestler, but I think he's going to be on television, 522 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: and I think he's going to be on television really soon, 523 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: and he's gonna help these young men. They're not young anymore. 524 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: These men help these men see the error in their 525 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: ways and pull them back together again. I never thought 526 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: you'd see the day where the New Day could break up, 527 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: even potentially break up. But there's trouble in the air, Jeff. 528 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: This is this is like nighttime soap opera stuff for men, y'all. 529 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: This is heavy, heavy fucking drama. 530 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,959 Speaker 3: I don't want them to break up, but I have 531 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 3: two things that i'd be happy to see, So I 532 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 3: don't want them to break up, but I did want 533 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 3: them to do a heel turn. And I've been talking 534 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 3: about the New Day doing a heel turn forever they 535 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 3: had they've missed so many opportunities with paralleling society, with 536 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 3: blam or any of those kinds. They wanted to kind 537 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 3: of capitalize on this on the tensions that were going 538 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 3: on in in on the globe, but more specifically America, like. 539 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: Nation of Domination style. 540 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, I hear you. 541 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 3: I would have loved that, and that you could have 542 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 3: also done it like in a church way, like in 543 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 3: like like old school, like black Big. He's got that 544 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 3: preacher voice. 545 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: Man, it would have been a super preachery. 546 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 3: Church suits like if you just but you also made 547 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 3: them heels, you know, because people are pretty critical of 548 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 3: church nowadays. But it would have been perfect. 549 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 1: For the churches coming under fire too. 550 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 3: In a way, it's it's wrestling. Yeah, young people young 551 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 3: And I don't want to speak for nothing as all, 552 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 3: but I'll speak for a lot of young people. Will say, 553 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: like when they think of church, they think of conservatives, 554 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 3: they think of oh, I think of racism or those 555 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 3: kind of things. So they think of that. 556 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: Just so everybody knows our young listeners, there's probably some 557 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: nice churches too. 558 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 3: It's great, yeah, in every group. Now, what I will 559 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 3: say is the other thing I would like to see 560 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: them do is maybe become their own version of of 561 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: I know you couldn't do a bloodline because these men 562 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 3: aren't related, but you could make the New Day like, 563 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 3: make Big E kind of like the captain or the 564 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 3: manager or the whatever of a big stable of guys 565 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 3: and be like this, this is the New. 566 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: Day and I was a world champion, so listen to me, 567 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: and and Kobe's that, and yeah, no, I'm with that. 568 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: I get those young guys. I just think you could 569 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 3: make a big stable of young guys who are bad 570 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 3: ass that the New Day like, and say like, this 571 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 3: is the New Day. We were three, but now we 572 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 3: are many. Like you just make this big, badass stable 573 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 3: of what because like, the New Day is too famous 574 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 3: and too big and too great to just get rid 575 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 3: of that. Yeah, it's too good. I don't want to 576 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 3: see it end. I just need to see it evolve, 577 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 3: is what I want to see. But those are the 578 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 3: two things I would love to see from New Day. 579 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 3: I don't need them to break up. I was a 580 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: big advocate in the day, back in the day of 581 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 3: breaking them up so that we could see maybe a 582 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 3: singles run from Xavier or another singles run from Big Ee. 583 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 3: Because I want a big e to be like Champ 584 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 3: for a while, you weren't alone. 585 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: Now a lot of people I could never see him 586 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: breaking up, But yeah, I think a lot of people 587 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: wanted to see that kind of conflict because it's exciting. 588 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, but those are my ideas. Steal them if 589 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 3: you want. 590 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: W B Yeah yeah, w all right, Friday Night SmackDown. 591 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: We won't get into matches or anything like that, but 592 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: there were some cool matches and a cool fistfight backstage 593 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: between and Roddy and Hayes. That fistfight looked so good man. 594 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: Carmelo had one look on his face like, dude, did 595 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: you just legit punch me? It was it was to 596 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: see it. It was so good man. But there was 597 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: a really cool segment that Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes 598 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: were a part of to get hype for their match 599 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: at Bad Blood. Is it called Bad Blood or Back 600 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: to Blood or whatever they call it? No idea, but 601 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: their partners in a match, and they have to trust 602 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: one another in this match, even though they're about to 603 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: be fighting one another for another match for the World Championship. 604 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: And I personally thought this was wonderful. I thought it 605 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: was wonderfully done. It looked like I watch a lot 606 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: of anime with my son to make sure it's appropriate 607 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: and not like the freaky stuff, and we've got I'm 608 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: close a couple of times on the like oh, if 609 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: you like this, you'll like this, and I have to 610 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: have the promote in my hand and be like, oh, Stan, 611 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: we're pausing right there and finding Dragon ball Z again. 612 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: But this felt to me like a really cool anime 613 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: scene where the two heroes, one anti hero and one 614 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: sort of Superman, nice guy hero. So Superman and Batman 615 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: having this conversation of like, look, only one of us 616 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: can lead to Justice League, and you think it's you 617 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: and I think it's me, and we're gonna have a 618 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: fucking problem because you may be Superman, but my whole 619 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: suit's made out of kryptonite, So fuck you. Like this, 620 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: it's going down, But first we have to deal with 621 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: the Legion to Doom, which is you know, Solo and 622 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: the New bloodline. And I thought it legit looked like 623 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: something from my hero academic. People want to throw that 624 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: word cinema around so much now that I'm never using 625 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: it again. I think we used it first like two 626 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: years ago with Sammy's Ain, Yeah, I'll take credit for it. 627 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,239 Speaker 1: What and so I'm never using that again. This was 628 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: like anime. It wasn't cinema. It was anime. And the 629 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: way they played with the camera and the low angles 630 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: looking up like everything fell anime. The music in the 631 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: background I think is from like a video game trailer. 632 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: Really yeah, everything was just kind of lended itself to 633 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: that young anime spirit and I totally loved it. I 634 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: thought they took a big swing. I could see if 635 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: people don't like it, because it's not it's not the 636 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: wrestling that we grew up on. But I thought it 637 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: was a cool, really cool and it was directed by 638 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: Paul Hayman. Actually, our producer told me that, So shout 639 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: out to Paul Hayman. If you guys dug it now 640 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: you know that too. If you didn't, maybe you like 641 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: them more now. But I thought it was a really 642 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: cool way to tell their story, to also build tension 643 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: for their upcoming match and to leave things a little unsettled, 644 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: like are they going to turn on each other? We 645 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: don't know. And Roman had the great line where he says, 646 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: you're in my way, and Cody the gentleman, always in 647 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: the suit, always the gentleman goes to stand out of 648 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: his way, and he's like, no, dude, you're in your 649 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't say dude, only my dumbass is dude, but 650 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: he says, no, dude, you're in my way in life. 651 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: And Cody just has to take that bullet. But he 652 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: doesn't like faint from it. He just takes that bullet 653 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: and Romans like and piece you dig just. 654 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 3: And the music hits and then he walks away.

It is so well received, 665 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 3: this okay stand this stand off in the middle of 666 00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 3: a football field where Roman Reigns once played us, so 667 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 3: much so that the wrestling nerds like myself were looking 668 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 3: to see who made it. Watching the credits of something 669 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 3: because they liked it so much. I mean, that's I've 670 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 3: never heard of anyone on anything going. I need to 671 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 3: know who made this it was. I thought it was 672 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 3: very very cool again a big swing, like you said, 673 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 3: and I loved the I loved the opening part because 674 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 3: I'm thinking, why the hell are they doing this, you know, like, 675 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 3: like why are we in a football field? I don't understand. 676 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 3: But then for him to be like, this is my field, 677 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 3: which means it's my town, which means it's my if 678 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 3: it's my field, which means my stadium, and if it's 679 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 3: my statement, it means it's my town. And then he's like, listen, pal, 680 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 3: you played football here. This is my home. A line 681 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 3: was so good, it was so well it was very 682 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 3: very well done. I loved the year in my way 683 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 3: in life. I don't often say this, but I got 684 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 3: I got like chills, and I was inspired. I said, 685 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 3: you know what, there's some things in my way too, 686 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 3: and I'm about to fucking walk right through it. Like 687 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 3: I was just I kind of was like, you know what, yeah, yeah, 688 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 3: not going to be punks about the things that are 689 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 3: in our way. We're gonna deal with it. And I 690 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 3: really liked that. I thought the whole thing was it 691 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 3: was a big swing and I could see how if 692 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 3: maybe you're just scrolling through the channels and you watch that, 693 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 3: you'd be like, what is this? I think it was 694 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 3: really well done. It made me excited for the match. Also, 695 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 3: bravo to Cody. I don't think I've ever given him 696 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 3: credit for his acting chops until that moment. I've always 697 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 3: just you know, I think his promos would have been Wow. 698 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 3: I mean it was. I thought he was better than 699 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 3: than Roman because wrestlers do this thing when they're listening 700 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 3: to the other wrestler talk where they have to act 701 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 3: like they're offended, you know, and there's doing What a 702 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 3: lot of wrestlers will do is the sniff they go. 703 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 3: There's a lot of sniffing when people when wrestlers are 704 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 3: just listening like they did, they think like, but I've 705 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 3: worked with actors that do that stuff. It's insane. But 706 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 3: Cody was amazing in it stayed perfectly true to like 707 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 3: what we believe Cody Rhoades is. I thought the whole 708 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 3: segment was a good a good thing. Also, I don't 709 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 3: know much about wrestlers in football, so I went to 710 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 3: YouTube to find all of Roman reigns highlights of him 711 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 3: playing in that field. There's some good stuff. Was a giant, 712 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 3: chubby guy who had some big sacks in games. It 713 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 3: was fun to watch. So if youre a little easter egg, 714 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 3: if you go out and look look those up. It's 715 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 3: pretty It's a fun watch and a quick watch. He 716 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 3: didn't play much, but it was. It's a good watch. 717 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: So for all you listeners to get mad that we 718 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: talked too much aew and not enough wwe.
