Was all, 174 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: he's gonna lose a couple thousand dollars for that one, 175 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: insinuating that there's fines for your fuckery. 176 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: Was that like on the spot thing that you think 177 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 3: he made the Yeah, I. 178 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: Think he made it up on the fly. He made 179 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 2: it up on the fly. I would love if they 180 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: they for sure that's inside, Like even though it's fiction, 181 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: it's inside. And I don't think that's something Vince would 182 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 2: throw at him. I think that's all Corey Graves. That 183 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 2: dude's super talented. 184 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 3: This was my match of the week. It was just classic, 185 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: went back and forth, had all the things you like. 186 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 3: I was. I'm a big fan of Gunther and Kevin Owens. 187 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: I'd also this is an off subject, but I'd love 188 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 3: to someday see Bray Wyatt and Kevin Owens together, not 189 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: against each other, but like as like a tag team, 190 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: like those two guys, the fuzzy Bros. 191 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, they both have the fuzzy beards. Yeah, you're the 192 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: most athletic, like Jim Tony. 193 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: They're like super athletic, but they don't have that chiseled 194 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: kind of thing going. 195 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: Yes, it's just genetics. Man Roy Jones Junior said it best. 196 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: He was talking about James Tony at heavyweight when he 197 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: was commentating, and they were saying, yeah, but he's out 198 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: of shape. He goes, He's not out of shape. He's 199 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: faster than this guy. He can fight twenty rounds, not twelve. 200 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: He goes, it's just genetics. He goes. When he was 201 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: in middleweight, he didn't have any muscles on his body. 202 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: That's genetics. It's not that he was out of shape. 203 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 2: He's a world class athlete. So there's nothing wrong with 204 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: saying someone looks like a refrigerator with arms and legs. 205 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: He's still super badass. 206 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's badass. I love those guys. But anyways, 207 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: that'd be something I just thought of today that I 208 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 3: was like, maybe i'll bring that up on the podcast. 209 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 3: It'd be cool to see those guys. 210 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: They sell washer dryer sets, they sell fridge freezer sets. 211 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: You could sell me on some Owen's why. Moving on 212 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: the only other match on Rod that I really loved. 213 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 2: Although I think you'll like another one that we can 214 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: for sure talk about. It was just it wasn't built up, 215 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: so I didn't care too much. The world heavyweight Champion, 216 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: I usually say worlds the World heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins 217 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: versus Damian Priest. I saw some photos of old Damien 218 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: Priest compared to what he looks like. Now have you 219 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: seen these online? Full body transformation, really got healthy, got 220 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: super handsome, got awesome and what transformation? Unless I saw 221 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: fake picks, but I don't think they were. 222 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: What's kind of like Gunther Gunter was all chubby and voge. 223 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yo for real? Yeah, you're right, but this is 224 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: like a dramatic He was like like fat, gothic, like 225 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 2: eighties goth and just not and then you see him 226 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: now and you're like, dog, you'd like be the lead 227 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: in a movie. He's crazy. Dude is crazy. Anyway. This 228 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: match was actually built up based on a tag match 229 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: that Aj Styles and Seth Rollins had when AJ interrupted 230 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: Seth's celebration, right, and then he says, I respect you, 231 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: and Seth Rowlins is like, you've earned this, and instead 232 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 2: of a curb stomp, he offered his hand in friendship 233 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 2: and respect, and they shook hands and then boom, here 234 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: comes a judgment day. Screw your respect, y'all, are some 235 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 2: punk ass bitches. Were a judgment day, even though Ria 236 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: Ripley's better than all of us. And so they come 237 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 2: out and they're talking their smack and it's a tag match, 238 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 2: and you can tell it's gonna lead to these two 239 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 2: guys going. I said this last week, there's concern that 240 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: Rollins defending every week is gonna lessen the championship. I 241 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 2: disagreed with it. Then I disagree even more with that. 242 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 2: Now Seth Rollins can put on a top shelf match 243 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 2: with anyone when you put him in there with somebody 244 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: as educated as Damian Priest. And remember, Damian Priest is 245 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: a guy that pretty much taught Bad Bunny what's up. 246 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 2: Damian Priest is the guy that built those matches with 247 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: Bad Bunny and made Bad Bunny look so good. And 248 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: he was the first celebrity that people were like, yo, 249 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: that guy did his thing in there. Like that's when 250 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: I say educated, that's what I mean, Like he can 251 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 2: make other people look great as well. These two dudes 252 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: were awesome. There was even a bit of a story 253 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: in the match because they allowed it to build up 254 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: like it was like an old school WCW, Like, here's 255 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: a quick two week story, and this is how we'll 256 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 2: get there. It'll be a tag match and then you 257 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: two will have beef and it'll lead to this. But 258 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: I love this and I love that this These matches 259 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 2: get tons of I'm it was twenty plus minutes for sure. 260 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 2: It felt like a pay per view match because there 261 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 2: was a bit of story and it was still fresh 262 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 2: in my head. And these two guys kicked ass all 263 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 2: night long. And as long as seth Rawlins can stay healthy, 264 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: this story works for him being I'm going to be 265 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: the hardest working man initial he's James Brown, He's James 266 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,359 Speaker 2: freaking Brown. 267 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: Which is good for him too. He's getting the most 268 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 3: screen time out of anybody like he I mean, really, 269 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: it's the seth Rawlins show for sure. Like in the 270 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 3: last few months, it feels like but he's earned it 271 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 3: and he's great and still I'm still not sold on 272 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 3: this belt and which is You brought it up in 273 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 3: the news earlier about the new women's belt that says undisputed, Yeah, 274 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 3: you like Mortal Kombat? 275 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: What the video game? Yeah? I was a street fighter too. Guy, 276 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: don't hate me, but I'm educated on Mortal Kombat. 277 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mortal Kombat did this thing recently. Interests me. This 278 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 3: is related, guys and listeners. They did a thing where 279 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: they were like, everyone's thinking Mortal Kombat twelves coming out, 280 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: Mortal Kombat twelves coming out, or maybe some sort of 281 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 3: different version of a Mortal Kombat some sort of like 282 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 3: Mortal Kombat X two or so's so whatever. What they 283 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: did is they go, Nope, we're re releasing Mortal Kombat one. 284 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: We're resetting the canvas. Raiden has reset the timeline and 285 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: it's a blank canvas and you're getting Mortal Kombat one 286 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 3: all over again, with all the modern day graphics, with 287 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 3: all the new whatever. But he's reset the storyline. I 288 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: wish someone would do that. With wrestling, all these belts 289 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 3: are going in the trash. There's no USA Championship, there's 290 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: no you know, TV USA thing. It's like it's a 291 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 3: there's no twenty four to seven, which I know they 292 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 3: did get rid of. There's no but like, let's just 293 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: reset the canvas. We have a championship belt that everyone's 294 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 3: klawn at. Everyone wants to try to get we have 295 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: an IC belt that all the middleweight guys are trying 296 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 3: to get their hands on, and you've got tag team belts. 297 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 3: That's it. We don't need all these other offshoot belts 298 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: that I know. The argument is there's so much talent 299 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 3: in that locker room that they need a bunch of belts. 300 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: But it's like, I don't know, like it seems like 301 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 3: a lot of belts. 302 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: That's that's an interest. Look, it's two schools of thought, right, 303 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: Like the old school is the belt, lets the fans 304 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 2: know consciously and subconsciously that the company's getting behind this guy. 305 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: The new school is give them a story and will 306 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: know you're behind me. The belt doesn't matter. The wrestler 307 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 2: makes the belt, not vice versa. But in the room there, 308 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it's an equal number of young minds 309 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: and old minds, but it definitely they have a bit 310 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: of both, but the old minds are in charge. And 311 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: I think that would be such a hard philosophy to sell, 312 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: no matter how well you could sell it. I mean, 313 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: you could sell it as well as you did your 314 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: Medieval Times pitch, and I just don't know if the 315 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: old heads could wrap their minds around getting rid of 316 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: titles that their friends created, that their friends made mean something. 317 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Like it just it would 318 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: be That's what I said. 319 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 3: But in my mind, it's like, you got this many belts. 320 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 3: You know what that means. It just means nobody cares 321 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: about the belts. Nobody's going, holy crap, he's the you know, 322 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: International Regional Corporate West Coast TV title. Is what are 323 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: we doing now? 324 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 2: That title's a little too long, all right, you need 325 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: to trim it a bit. But I hear what you're saying. 326 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 2: You know, I was going to try to say, well, 327 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: Austin theory, but Austin theory didn't make the belt mean something. 328 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: He made himself mean something. Yeah, So yeah, I see 329 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: what you mean. It's a good point that I don't 330 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: think will ever be addressed. 331 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 3: Also, why does it say undisputed on the Women's new bill. 332 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 3: I've never even liked that word. In wrestling, everything is 333 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 3: very disputed. It's very very disputed. We have a lot 334 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 3: of disputes. 335 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: Even the title exchanges are disputed with like Brett Hard 336 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: and Sean Michaels, like that is a disputed loss of 337 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: the title, constantly dispute day yeah, physically disputed. 338 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 3: Verbally disputed. There's so many disputes going on about this belt. 339 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: Multiple decades later, there's still a dispute. All right. 340 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 3: Sorry, that was another sidetrack on. 341 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 2: My No, you're good. If there's any other raw stuff 342 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: you want to talk about, now's the time. Otherwise I'm 343 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: moving forward. 344 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 3: The seth Rawlins show is complete. I think we've talked 345 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 3: about it this week. That's really what it is. 346 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: We have never discussed an Orange Cassidy match. You're not 347 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 2: crazy about the character wrestlers, Well, I didn't. I just 348 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: didn't connect to what he was doing. And they opened 349 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: the show this week or last week. The show comes 350 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: out a week after it, and I think I finally 351 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 2: see it. I saw how the crowd reacted and his 352 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 2: commitment to this. It's not an I don't care attitude. 353 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 2: It can come off like that, and I think it 354 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 2: did to me, but when you really start to watch, 355 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 2: it's more like he's a living I'm just living in 356 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 2: the moment. And yeah, I care about the title, but 357 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: the title's not me. So I'm going to keep it 358 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: in this backpack instead of around my waist, you know 359 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 2: what I mean. Like I'm not gonna the title change me. Yeah, 360 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 2: I'm hurt and I'm wrestling every single week and I'm 361 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 2: wrestling hurt, but I this is the commitment I made 362 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna hide the pain yet. It hurts, 363 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: it sucks, but I'm gonna wrestle anyway. And I've been 364 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: watching this guy's promos and I'm I think, I'm I 365 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: think I get it. And he was wrestling. The only 366 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: reason I was gonna watch was because it was Swerve Strickland. 367 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 2: And you know, I love Swerve Strickland. 368 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a star. 369 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 2: And I want to talk about their match because their 370 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 2: match was awesome. But I I've turned the corner and 371 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 2: I believe I've seen the light and I'm I may 372 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: start squeezing, squeezing the juice, man, I may, I may 373 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 2: start squeezing it. 374 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 3: I like, I'm a big Orange Cassidy guy, and you've 375 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 3: made me a big Swerve guy only in the last 376 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: few months, Like I guess I just haven't been So 377 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 3: what what. 378 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: Was it about him that made you go, Oh, this 379 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: dude's cool, Like tell me tell because I'm just now 380 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 2: getting there. 381 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 3: Oh with Orange Cassidy. Yeah, yeah, he's funny. It was 382 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 3: just always funny and so like I was, I'm such 383 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 3: a mark about like when he would do the thing 384 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,959 Speaker 3: where like the way the crowd. I guess that's what 385 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 3: really got me into it, is that the crowd was 386 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: so into all the things. I wanted to be one 387 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 3: of the people that's like in the crowd who knows 388 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 3: all the little things he's about to do, all the 389 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 3: little jokes, and it works so much while being like funny, 390 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: And at first I thought, I'm not crazy about this 391 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 3: kind of stuff where you have to play along with 392 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 3: their bull crap, Like I don't generally like that. Like 393 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 3: there used to be a wrestler whose name we don't 394 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 3: speak of anymore, but his gimmick was that you you know, 395 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 3: you grab his penis and then he's able to flip 396 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 3: you over with it, but you kind of have to 397 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 3: play along like he's magic or whatever. Now I used 398 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 3: to go, this is so stupid. Now I've got to 399 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 3: like I've got credibility as like some wrestler. I finally 400 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 3: move up to the ranks where they put me at 401 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 3: least on television, and now I got to do this thing. 402 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: I got to play along with this guy's dumb thing. 403 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 3: But I think Orange Cassidy's a perfect right. He's on 404 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: the right scale of having to do it, like you 405 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 3: still have to play along with this thing, but he's 406 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: still a wrestler. He's still great. He's not afraid to 407 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: get like dinged up in the ring, got like he'll bleed, 408 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 3: He'll get like Weltz, he get like you know, he 409 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 3: does the chest slaps, he does all the things still, 410 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 3: but it still fits this kind of funny gimmick. It 411 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: always looks like he's wrestling in jeans, which aren't real jeans, 412 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 3: they're just designed to look like jeans. 413 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. 414 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 3: I just think everything he does is it's funny while 415 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 3: also being enough fake real to me. 416 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's interesting because the same thing that I 417 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: used to be like, I don't do that with like 418 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 2: the little baby tap kicks, oh yeah, And I'm like, 419 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, man, they'll do that like and now, like 420 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 2: the last couple of matches that I've watched him do 421 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 2: and again, I haven't spoken about him because I didn't 422 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 2: realize it until this last match that I was actually 423 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: digging it and connecting to it. And now I'm seeing 424 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: the other wrestlers kind of be into it as well 425 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: and committing to it. And I I've come I've legit 426 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: come around on this dude man. And the match, the 427 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 2: match was awesome, Like he did his thing. I just 428 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 2: I there's something different and cool. He's just cool. He's 429 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: just cool. There's something cool about him. And I don't 430 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: think I gave him enough credit when I first saw him, 431 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: because he doesn't look like he would be the cool guy. 432 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 2: It's like a cool gimmick. But no, he's actually, like 433 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: really freaking cool. 434 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 3: Once he proved to me that he was a real wrestler, 435 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: Like it wasn't just the game. You know, he's not 436 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 3: just tossing the pizza dough around the whole time like 437 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 3: for a Instagram reel. It's like, you know, that kind 438 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 3: of wrestling gimmick, but it's enough of it, but it's 439 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: enough of it that it's still great. Also, this match, 440 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys like old school school 441 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 3: boys and roll ups, but this match had a ton 442 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 3: of them. Was just roll up after roll up into 443 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: a reversal roll up. I mean there was a lot 444 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: of school boy is that it's called. 445 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: School boys school. 446 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 3: A lot of school boys in this match. If you're 447 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 3: into that, but away, I like, uh, I like Swerve, 448 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 3: I like Cassidy. I wish Swerve would have won. I 449 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 3: think Swerve should be like a champ, like I want 450 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 3: him to have the gold. And again, this goes back 451 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 3: to my famous thing I always say is that like 452 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 3: Orange Cassidy is just funny and interesting enough that he 453 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 3: doesn't need to be champed. 454 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: But you know, I'm gonna have a whole episode about 455 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 2: Orange Cassidy. It's not goofy funny like Santino Morello. Well, 456 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 2: I love right like I love Santino. I know he 457 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 2: wasn't for everybody, but I love the Cobra. Okay, to me, 458 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 2: that's like one of I'm not saying it's one of 459 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 2: the best finishers in the game, but it's one of 460 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 2: my favorite finishers in the game because of comedy wrestling. 461 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: But it crossed the line big time. You could argue 462 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 2: Orange Cassidy crosses the line, but I feel like even 463 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 2: when he does, he hops back so quick over the 464 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 2: line that you're like, wait, maybe he didn't cross the line. 465 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 2: I'll watch. I'm gonna watch more closely next time. So yeah, 466 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: shout out to that guy man, Like I'm aa, I 467 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 2: feel like, I'm a tough critic and he's earned, He's earned, 468 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: He's earned my respect. Man or is in the process 469 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 2: of earning. And I know. All I know is I 470 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 2: like watching them. Now. 471 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 3: You're a way less tough critic than me. I'll put 472 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 3: our producer Alex in there. 473 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 2: You're me. 474 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 3: You're a way tough less, less tough of a critic 475 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: than most wrestling fans. I think you're very reasonable. I 476 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 3: think you're very good when it comes to that. 477 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 2: Maxwell Jacob Friedman's going to wrestle Adam Cole. 478 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 3: What did you think about that promo? 479 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 2: There's things I love and things that I did not. 480 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 2: It's gonna happen way too fast based off this promo. 481 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 2: Everything happened way too fast. In the promo, they let 482 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 2: him talk forever, which leads me to believe it was 483 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 2: because you have to tell the whole story here, because 484 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 2: it's happening around the corner. I think the matches isn't 485 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: even a pay per view. I hope that this goes 486 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 2: multiple matches. It just left me with an empty feeling 487 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: of it's just gonna go one like the Ricky Starks thing, 488 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 2: so it won't actually be a feud. I think Adam 489 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: Cole is credible enough on the mic and a compelling 490 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 2: enough storyteller that you could have multiple matches against against 491 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 2: MJF and draw this out a bit. So I'm hopeful 492 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 2: this first match ends in a no contest. Somehow they 493 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 2: get creative and you know, like, I'm not saying a 494 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 2: double count out because that sucks, but something that happens 495 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 2: that prevents the match from continuing and then you get 496 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: a longer story, because it felt even though it was 497 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 2: like a twenty minute talk segment, it felt rushed and 498 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 2: it felt forced. And you guys know how much I 499 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 2: love MJF and you guys know how much I love 500 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 2: Adam Cole. I've talked about how I started off not 501 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 2: digging him and then all of a sudden, I'm saying, babe, 502 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: But I wanted to like this much more than I did, 503 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 2: and it certainly left me wanting more. But it is 504 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: the champ and I feel like we have to talk 505 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 2: about the champs story. 506 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 3: This is going to sound hypocritical and strange to come 507 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 3: out of my mouth, and I'd love to hear your 508 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 3: take on my take, and I'd love to hear our 509 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 3: producer Alex's take on this also, But it felt mean spirited, 510 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: which is the whole point of MJF, right, Like that's 511 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 3: his whole thing is that he just talks trash and 512 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 3: he he says like that's the whole point. So the 513 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 3: things that I like about MJF in other promos, for 514 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 3: whatever reason, this one came off different. It didn't feel 515 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 3: funny and fun It felt like he was really just 516 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 3: digging at this at Adam Cole. If I don't know why, 517 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 3: I can't, I can't pinpoint what the difference was between 518 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 3: this promo and then the other ones. It just felt like, oh, 519 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 3: why is he doing that, or like, why is he 520 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 3: saying that? I don't know what. I don't know why 521 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 3: it was different. 522 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: It just felt mean, I'll say this, and it's I'm 523 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 2: not correcting you in any in any way. I'm one 524 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: hundred percent certain everything was intentional and cooperative, Okay, one 525 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 2: hundred percent. I believe the intent was to have him 526 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: be mean, right, and I and Cole's response to the 527 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 2: cruelty I thought he handled very beautifully. And then the 528 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 2: piss cup thing was awesome, like that that was that 529 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 2: was great. But I guarantee you both sides knew and 530 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: were okay with everything that was said on that microphone. 531 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 2: I get just knowing what I know and knowing who 532 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 2: I know in that scenario, there's it was one hundred 533 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 2: percent mutual. Okay, that's that said. You didn't like what 534 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: you didn't like, you know what I mean. So if 535 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 2: that's not the MJF you're wanting to see, then that's 536 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: not the MJF you're wanting to see. So you're not wrong. 537 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: But to me, it just felt like we have to 538 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: tell everything now because this is gonna happen once and 539 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 2: then there's other there's other plans in the future. And 540 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: I hope that's not the case, because these two guys 541 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 2: can tell a friggin's story. I believe everything they did 542 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: was pre arranged and mutually agreed upon, but I also 543 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 2: agree that it didn't resonate with you the way it 544 00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: needed to resonate with you. 545 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: Just like referencing n by name and saying like he 546 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 3: didn't think you're a topic. 547 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 2: But they've broken He's broken that wall. Max has certainly 548 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: broken that wall multiple times. He's broken that wall multiple times. 549 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 2: He's talked about his good friend Triple H like he's 550 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 2: gone there plenty of times. It's just in this capacity 551 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 2: because I think he's trying new stuff and maybe I 552 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 2: should have phrased it this way. I think he's trying 553 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 2: to evolve his character, and this promo felt like growing 554 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 2: pains Oka, like you know what I'm saying, Like he 555 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 2: has to, Like you'll go on stage and you'll experiment 556 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 2: with some stuff and see how it plays. You're like, don't. 557 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 2: I don't even think it's gonna work. I just need 558 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 2: to get these jokes out there to see if I'm 559 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 2: and I think, yeah, and he's young, dude, he's like 560 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: twenty six years old. I think he has to be 561 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 2: able to experiment with this character on live freaking television 562 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: every week. Especially with the amount of freedom he's given. 563 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: He should take advantage of that and experiment. And I 564 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 2: think we have to give a little bit of latitude 565 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: in that so long as the always remain true. If 566 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 2: a story rains false, you call people out on that. Yeah, 567 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 2: I've made movies that I that where I'm like, while 568 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: we're making them, like, I should have re read this 569 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: script like it happens, you know what I mean, Like 570 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 2: it happens to every artist. Now, no, not every Picasso 571 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 2: was perfect. I guarantee you he ripped a bunch of 572 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 2: them up or sold some of them and was like, 573 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: I can't believe somebody bought that piece of shit, you. 574 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 3: Know what I mean? 575 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 2: Like, that's that's just what artists go through. It's a 576 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: torturous it's a torturous life. There's a lot of self hate. 577 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: So I think this is a bit of an evolution 578 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: and he's trying to find this angry or more intense thing. 579 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 2: I believe that all right, dude, Friday Night SmackDown. This 580 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 2: is all I gotta say. Jay Freganuso is awesome. The 581 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 2: reasons why I love him. I feel like his character 582 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: comes off as the most unpredictable character in wrestling. I've 583 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 2: been thinking about this guy a lot. Everything he does 584 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 2: is from his entrance, the way he rubs his hands together, 585 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,479 Speaker 2: the way his eyes dart back and forth looking at 586 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: everybody in the ring, you almost outside of you know. 587 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: He's not going to turn on his brother, and if 588 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 2: they do that, kudos to having the balls to do that, 589 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 2: but they're not gonna He's such a like a like 590 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 2: a firework, you don't know if it's going to go 591 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: off or not. You don't know what colors are going 592 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 2: to come out. You just don't know. And he has 593 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: he keeps that energy throughout. He made me watch him 594 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: more than Paul Hayman in a Paul Hayman promo, and 595 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 2: that's hard to do. Paul Hayman is the second greatest 596 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 2: manager in the history of professional wrestling, like that, behind 597 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 2: Bobby Heenan. So that's and in modern wrestling, he's the 598 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 2: only manager that's worth listening to. But it's tough, Like 599 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 2: I love this guy so much, I don't know how 600 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 2: to shine him enough. I don't know how to blow 601 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 2: enough smoke at him, because even if the dialogue isn't great, 602 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 2: he's finding ways to save it. And that's the kind 603 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 2: of praise deserved for actors that are like top top 604 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 2: shelf dudes. And I'm not trying to say Jay is 605 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 2: Daniel day Lewis or Robert Downey Junior for those who 606 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: don't know DANNEF. Day Lewis is. But what he's able 607 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 2: to do on Monday in Iraq, whether it's solow by 608 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: himself or within the context of the construct of his brother, 609 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 2: is something that I think needs to be recognized by people. 610 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 2: This dude is like there's something there, and I'd love 611 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 2: to see them tap into it even more. I think 612 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 2: they are. I think Paul Hayman sees it. That's why 613 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: he's doing this year the whole next Leader of the 614 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 2: Bloodline thing. But this made me want to watch a 615 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 2: match that had no build up whatsoever against Austin Theory, 616 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 2: the United States Champion. But yeah, man, I freaking love this. 617 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 2: This to me was the show. None of the other 618 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 2: matches mattered to me. They even had Escobar and Mustafa 619 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 2: and we love both those guys and they had a 620 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: good match, But all I cared about was getting to 621 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: see this and what Jay was gonna do. I freaking 622 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: loved this. It was really good television. What about you? 623 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 3: Uh? 624 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? 625 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 3: I think here's the thing. I wish that they would 626 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 3: make the Bloodline this huge family, right like just like 627 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 3: which it is, obviously, but I mean like, I wish 628 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 3: that they would make it this big family that we're 629 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 3: all aware of, like, holy shit, that's the Bloodline. But 630 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 3: when I used to watch really good, really good factions, 631 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 3: like like the Heart Foundation, I was never worried that 632 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 3: one of them might turn on the other. I was 633 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 3: never like sitting there thinking like, oh, Sean Michaels might 634 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 3: might kick Triple H in the face and DX will start. 635 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, because he did every week anyway and they stayed. 636 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 3: But I'm saying like I don't know, I just I 637 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 3: think like like with The New Day, are you ever 638 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 3: worried that, like with a guy like that, like Kofe's 639 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 3: gonna you know, hit Big Eie with a chair, like 640 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 3: we we just know them as the thing we're so 641 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 3: used to. I think wrestling fans are so conditioned to 642 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 3: be like this is gonna be like when Roman Reigns 643 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 3: turned on the Shield. Yeah, like like we can have 644 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 3: a group without needing to think is someone gonna go rogue? 645 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 3: Is somebody gonna It's okay to just have a faction 646 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 3: that is a faction. And if you just grow that bloodline, 647 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 3: because there's so many great Samoan guys of yesteryear and 648 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 3: that are coming up that you can just keep making 649 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 3: it this like this, that is like the nucleus of 650 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 3: wrestling is the bloodline. 651 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: You know, you know, you just gave me an idea, 652 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: you know, how you evolved their storyline. You remember in 653 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 2: the eighties that showed Dallas the Ewing family. Oh yeah, 654 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 2: you turn it into that you start bringing in these 655 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 2: monarchs of the family, and you bring them in on 656 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: a regular basis, and they're suddenly like and you turn 657 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 2: it into like a nighttime soap opera, which is what 658 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,959 Speaker 2: it is already. But you can, like you said, you 659 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 2: can broaden that that spectrum by bringing in actual family 660 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 2: members and their allegiances and who they're with and how 661 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: they're going to help them. I guess a better example 662 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 2: would be Game of Thrones, but I've never seen it. 663 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 3: I've never seen it, but I will say this is like, 664 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,719 Speaker 3: why does everyone want to see The Rock versus Roman Reigns. 665 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 3: Why not can't Why can't the Rock be like I 666 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 3: would never fight any buddy in the bloodline that is 667 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 3: my bloodline, and he just keeps that interfering to defend 668 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 3: Roman Reigns and say nobody touches the bloodline like long 669 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 3: live like because we're little. The Rock's old. I mean, 670 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 3: the Rock isn't super old, but. 671 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: He's easy easy. 672 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 3: He's not. 673 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 2: It's not like easy. 674 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 3: It's not like if he has a match in five 675 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 3: years against Roman Reigns in a pay per view, it's 676 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 3: going to be like this memorable Rock match, like from 677 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 3: two thousand. 678 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 2: It'd be even better. It's what you mean. 679 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I just wish that he would defend 680 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 3: like that. We should keep this bloodline as this pure thing. 681 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 3: I don't need to think every week that Jay Uso 682 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 3: is gonna snap and maybe turn on somebody. But either way, 683 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 3: I love what they're doing with it regardless, and I 684 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 3: really I. 685 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 2: Think the bloodline can become strong again the way the 686 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 2: way you want it to. I think it had to 687 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 2: based on the Roman Reigns character's behavior, right, it had 688 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 2: to lead to this eventually. But dude, they made it 689 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 2: last a long freaking time, Jeff, a long time, and 690 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 2: I like it, and it's the best story in rest. 691 00:33:58,880 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 2: You could love. 692 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 3: Bring Rick over, bring bring all his kids over. They're 693 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 3: just like, there's enough people that we can make that work. 694 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 3: The nWo. There's there's no blood about the nWo, so 695 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 3: like there's there's no like real link. So at least 696 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 3: like at least well there were links. 697 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 2: I think it was called narcotic. 698 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 3: But yeah, well that's hardly a group. You know, that's 699 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 3: hardly a because like you know, the Hart Foundation, they 700 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 3: weren't afraid to go. Yeah, the British Bulldog is with 701 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 3: all these Canadians and like, yeah, he married one of 702 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 3: the hearts, so like they weren't afraid to like say, 703 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 3: like this is a family and whatever. Even if the 704 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 3: gimmicks seemed to a clash in uniform, it doesn't know. 705 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 2: I love it, dude. You're you're full of good ideas 706 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 2: today for medieval times, all the way to the bloodline, 707 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 2: the way to get rid of Yeah, and you wanted 708 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 2: to lose all the titles that have meant so much 709 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 2: to men and and women in the history of wrestlatter 710 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 2: you just want to throw it all away. 711 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 3: Get the challenge, I said, Bring in the challenge I got. 712 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 3: I'm full of good and bad ideas. 713 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 2: You already told us your match of the week. It's 714 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 2: time to close the show, my friend, sir, if you'd 715 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 2: like to discuss it at further length, we could. My 716 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: match of the week was Seth Rollins, not Seth freaking Rollins. 717 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 2: He's just Seth Rollins to me. And by the way, 718 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 2: he's dressing nice. He's wearing black, a lot more black, 719 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 2: and his clothes to match his belt. He's not dressing 720 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: like Elton John every single week, so he's looking like 721 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 2: a champion versus Damian Priest, the Prince of Puerto Rico. 722 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 2: Has anybody been called Prince Puerto Rico should be him. 723 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,399 Speaker 2: These two dudes are awesome and they make each other. 724 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 2: They make their opponents look great even when they're gonna 725 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 2: win the match, and most of the time they both 726 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 2: are always winning the match, and they always make the 727 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 2: opponent look like they could possibly lose that night. And 728 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 2: when you get two guys in the ring, who all 729 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 2: they do is sell, sell, sell, and make people look 730 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 2: good and as creative as they were, Like he interrupted 731 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 2: the falcon narrow combo that Seth does and then he 732 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 2: interrupted the interruption, which is like, oh, borderline video game awesomeness. 733 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 2: Just to see that level of creativity as well, especially 734 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 2: see it work and be executed like that. This was 735 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: my match of the week. I just think these guys 736 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 2: are awesome. You know, he can't be a story unfortunately, 737 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 2: but he could always come back and go after that 738 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 2: title again with a with a story somehow. That was 739 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 2: my match of the week. Jeff, what did you think 740 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 2: of that match? 741 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 3: So? I agree with I. While you were talking, I 742 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 3: tarted to thinking about it. No, dude, you're the Prince 743 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,760 Speaker 3: of Puerto Rico. Your papa was the king of Puerto Rico, 744 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 3: and prince is in the name. You can't give away that, nigga, 745 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 3: that's got to be yours, dude, You're the Prince of 746 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 3: Puerto Rico for sure, the Prince of Puerto Rico. Fredder Buncher. Anyway, 747 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 3: let's go. I did like that match, obviously. I think 748 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 3: Damon Priest is just a stud I love what he's doing. 749 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 3: I love that he's proving that he can be that 750 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 3: leader in there, like kind of take the lead. And 751 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 3: he did that obviously, which we already talked about with 752 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 3: the bad Bunnie honorable mention of my of my uh, 753 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 3: it was my second for match of the week.

I love that 757 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 2: he can't stand on the top rope long enough to 758 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 2: balance he's so big. But as soon as one foot 759 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 2: touches it, he has to jump. Dude, I'm risking it, 760 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 2: forget y'all. As soon as his foot touches I'm gone, 761 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 2: So you better be ready. 762 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 3: And also, isn't that fun.
