1
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: We've gone everyone too, Bells of the Brawl. I am

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: one of your hosts, Lena flying solo tonight, Kayla cannot

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: make it. That is okay. We've got just, you know,

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: just a little bit of talk about not a whole lot,

5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: seeing as we're going through a pandemic and none of

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: the crowds can be around to watch the shows. So

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: I feel like the shows have been kind of cutting

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: dry a little bit this week. That's okay, there was

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: still some highlights. I'm coming to you from the comfort

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: of my home. I've got a glass of rose, I've

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: got a candle lit social distancing myself, you know, living

12
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: my best life. First thing I want to start off

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: with is WrestleMania thirty six is a two night event.

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: I have to say pretty excited about that. That gives

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: me something to do Saturday and Sunday in April. Real

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: sad the crowd can't be there, you know, to experience

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: this because it's such a huge event and it is

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna be held at the Performance Center in Florida. Is

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: it gonna be great? I don't know. You can't do

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: fireworks there to have the big entrances like we're used to.

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: But you know, we shall see On Saturday, we'll see

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: Ria versus Charlotte. That's the match I'm most excited about.

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: And on Sunday we'll see Becky versus Shana. There's not

24
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot of matches on each night, so I'm

25
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: wondering if they're gonna add some, hopefully, because I would

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: love to see a women's tag team match on one

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: of those nights. Hint, hint, WWE. Anyways, let's get into it.

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: SmackDown from this past week Sasha Banks and Bailey versus

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. Fun match. You know, this

30
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: was the first episode we've seen without the crowd. It

31
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: was a little awkward at first, but you know, I

32
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: got used to it, and I'm sure the wrestlers had

33
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: too too. I mean, it's one of those things where

34
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: you can't hide any botches or you know, the crowd's

35
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: almost like a filter because they can tell you what

36
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: you're doing right, what you're doing wrong. Do more of this,

37
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: do more of that, you know, just to see what

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: the reaction you get from the crowd. Anyways, we saw

39
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth. Osca comes out and

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: attacks Lexibliss. That gave Sasha Banks the opportunity to give

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: Nikki Cross the bank statement, making them the winners. Anyways,

42
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: that was cool. We had triple h as on commentary,

43
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: which we never see, so that was interesting. We also

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: heard that Page was going to be there that night.

45
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: She wasn't, I think for obvious reasons can't. Well, not

46
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: that she can't, but you know, travel is not recommended

47
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: right now, so totally understandable. We think that she's going

48
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: to eventually confront Bailey. Not sure what about whether it's

49
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a future match or just you know, a

50
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: little run in, a little run in with Page. You

51
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: know you need that every now and then. Cool head

52
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: on to Raw Raw. We did not see any women's matches,

53
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: that's okay. We saw a lot of Becky, which is

54
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: always good at my book. We saw Becky roll out

55
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: in that truck with her face on it. That was awesome.

56
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: Supposedly that was meant for WrestleMania, but seeing as we've

57
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: been moved to the performance center, you had to roll

58
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: the truck out. But it was very appropriate because it

59
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: was March sixteenth, three sixteen Stone Cold Day now a

60
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: national holiday. We saw Becky come out with the cooler

61
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: and crush some beers with stone colds Steve Austin and

62
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: that was just a moment in history, y'all. It was amazing.

63
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: We also saw Becky address Shana, you know, the usual banter.

64
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: She's out, they're talking, Shane is in the back watching.

65
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, that was just the usual. But you know,

66
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: really without the crowd, you got to hear Becky talk.

67
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that girl can work a mic. Is amazing.

68
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: It's very inspiring to me. She has a beautiful voice.

69
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean she's a beautiful woman. I mean she's like

70
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: the total package. Congratch seth rawlins. Anyways, that was cool.

71
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: They did a good job despite no crowds both SmackDown

72
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: and Raw. Did you know they did what they could,

73
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: but who did it the best? Ae W That whole

74
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: show was amazing, and you know they had no crowd

75
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: that they did have some of the wrestlers in the

76
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: crowd and that was awesome. MJF and Sean Spears making bets.

77
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: He had a wardlow just looking at people like he

78
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: hated them. Sunny Kiss looking amazing as always, and we

79
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: saw a fatal four way between Penelope Ford, Riho Sheida

80
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: and Chris dat Lander. Great match, lots of great athleticism

81
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: we saw in this one. You know, Penelope Ford, I

82
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: don't know much about her other than she has a

83
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: real strong cheerleading background, which we saw. She had a

84
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: lot of backhand springs. I mean that girl can fly,

85
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: which was awesome and actually on aw dark. This past

86
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: week she faced ReHO and beat her. WHOA, that's crazy.

87
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, not to mention, with the help of Kip

88
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: saving her like lover or boyfriend. I don't know if

89
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 1: they're married. I don't know. Anyways, a great match. NXT

90
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: actually did not watch, but from what I heard, it

91
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: was a lot of pre recorded interviews, et cetera. Triple

92
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: H was there as well. Rhea did address Charlotte talking

93
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: about the performance Ciner being her territory, whereas the Queen

94
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: is used to performing for big crowds and big arenas

95
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: and stadiums. So that was cool to see that point

96
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: of view, and that makes Wrestlemaniam a little more interesting

97
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: seeing how that's gonna work because the Queen she does really,

98
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, work off the crowd, and like Rhea said,

99
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: when she woos, they woo back, but they won't be

100
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: there to woo back. There'll only be Ria standing there

101
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: so super excited about that, and really, you guys, that's

102
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: all I have for you. There is one little rumor

103
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: about WrestleMania having a tag team match between Beth Phoenix

104
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: and Natalia versus the Kabuki Warriors, and possibly a third

105
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: tag team involved, maybe Alexa Bliss and Nikki Kross. I

106
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: don't know. That's the ruma we shall see as time

107
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: goes on. Anyways, this is a friendly reminder to support

108
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: your favorite indie wrestlers or wrestling whatever it may be.

109
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: Buy a shirt or donate money if you're feeling super generous,

110
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: since WrestleMania is happening at the Performance Center and you know,

111
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: most of those shows, if not all, got canceled, so

112
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: a lot of wrestlers were counting on that money, or

113
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: even if not the money, just the word of mouth

114
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: and get their name out there, and that kind of sucks.

115
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: That's probably the worst part is for the indie wrestlers.

116
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: So whether it's give them a follows, spread their name

117
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: out there, buy a shirt, donate money, let's do what

118
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: we can to come together, uh to support them. You know,

119
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be a lot of money, as

120
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: long as we all come together. You know, we'll all

121
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: come out on top of you guys. Yes, you know.

122
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: It's a weird time right now. The world is bizarre.

123
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: We're quarantined for who knows how long, and hopefully you know,

124
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: not that long. So let's just keep our heads up,

125
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: keep watching some wrestling, and just stay in a good mood. Okay,
