I don't 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.599 even know what to make a comment about, all right, 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.040 Obviously the big story here today, This from the front 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.800 page of Wrestling Observer dot com. The lawyer representing Janelle 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.120 Grant says Grant was co worced into writing quote a 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:52.120 love letter to McMahon in late twenty twenty one. Your 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.640 Post published an article on Monday containing a lengthy email 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.800 Grant wrote to McMahon on December twenty four, twenty twenty one, 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:05.239 in which he professes her love for WWE's former executive chairman. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.360 Grant's lawyer and Callous said McMahon instructed Grant to write 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:13.360 the letter, which was obtained from Grant's laptop as part 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:18.040 of WWE's investigation into allegations against McMahon. It is expected 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.920 to appear in future court filings as Grant's lawsuit against 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:27.360 McMahon and w WE proceeds. Frankly and Callous said, this 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.040 is the lawyer of Grant. Frankly, it's pretty disgusting that 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.120 Vince's week's late attempt to defend his horrendous behavior, behavior 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.560 he claims to this day never happened, is to try 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.160 to showcase letters that Vince himself coerced her to write. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.080 His psychological torture of her continues, as is typical with 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.920 abusive predators. Who respond to women speaking out with increased threats. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.920 While Janelle isn't a stranger to his intimidation tactics, this 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.480 is a new low, even for him. Callous noted much 0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:00.800 of Grant's letter to McMahon was plagiarized. For instance, Grants 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.200 Grant wrote to McMahon, I feel understood, accepted, loved and 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.520 appreciated for who I am. At my core, you see 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.239 my heart, you see my soul. There are few people 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.280 who know the secret of making a heaven here on earth. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.440 You were one of those rare people. Lines taken verbatim 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.320 from the nineteen forty seven film The Bishop's Wife. Another 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.360 part of the letter was taken from a twenty twenty 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.400 one GQ interview with Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.520 What McMahon's lawyer Jessica? And this is another thing here, 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.280 This is what we learned today. Are you ready for this? Yes, 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:44.040 Vince McMahon's lawyer is Jessica Todd Rosenberg of Castlewich Benson Torres. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:50.200 Who are they you ask? This is the same firm 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:56.960 that represented MLW in its twenty twenty three antitrust lawsuit 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:03.480 against WWE, which of course was settled and MLW ended 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.880 up with whatever they ended up with, twenty million dollars 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:12.000 or whatever it ended up being. Vince's lawyer is from 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:20.280 the firm that represented MLW against WWE, and then Vince's 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.280 lawyer says no one coerced Miss Grant to write that letter. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.520 She wrote it of her own accord. The fact the 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:30.439 letter shows it was the twenty fourth draft speaks volumes, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:31.760 which I'm actually not sure. 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.120 I'm not baffling. 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.120 Well, she began the letter. If you want to read 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.920 the whole letter, it's on the front page of Rustlingobserver 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:39.960 dot com. I'm not gonna read it here. But she 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.120 begins the letter saying, this is draft twenty four. So 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.880 I don't know if they're just saying it's draft twenty 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.400 four because that's what she wrote, or if they have 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.440 some way of determining it was actually the twenty fourth 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.200 draft that she wrote. But it says no one in 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:03.120 her nowhere, in her voluminous that is replete with fabrications. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.320 This is Vince's lawyer. Does she mention being coerced into 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.040 such behavior. The language of the letter is consistent with 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.440 other communications she made to mister McMahon over the course 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:18.000 of their consensual relationship. And again, if you want to 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:22.560 read this letter, which is so long, you're welcome to 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:22.959 do so. 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.040 It's even described as a rambling twenty two hundred word letter. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:32.480 I you know, sixty eight days after the initial story 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:38.760 comes out. It's interesting timing with what the WWEPR machine 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.280 put out today about ratings as they kick off their 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:47.599 WrestleMania week. I don't know if Vince's lawyer is flexing 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.080 in the way that she thinks is I guess she's 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.520 flexing in a way that she thinks is beneficial. By 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.320 saying that it's the twenty fourth draft that speaks volumes, 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.760 I don't know what that speaks volumes. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.400 Of that have to do with anything. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.400 Yeah, if she's writing these letters at you know, his request, 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.800 to the point where she's actually just lifting things completely 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.400 out of other articles because he just wants to have 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:18.480 his letter, you know, it's just it's something, it's something else, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:24.199 that's for sure. I uh. Again, this is now the 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.240 second time too that should be pointed out that Nick 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:31.240 Cohn has been said to know about this relationship. Now, 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.080 granted they both come from Janelle Grant, but this is 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.840 now Janelle Grant. You know, I don't care who knows 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:38.520 about well. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.559 Hold on, hold on, hold on, So the I read 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.600 the entire letter. Okay, and these are the names that 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.120 she wrote in the letter, and I guess one of 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:52.079 them could have been a misspelling. But she says, even 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.680 though so few people know about us, the most freeing 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.160 feeling this year came when we got to act like 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:05.240 a couple, openly, freely, when Mickey, Paul and the chef 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:11.160 we're around us. So nowhere is Nick con mentioning here, 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.520 but Paul would likely be well, I shouldn't even say 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.520 that because we don't know, but people have been presuming 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.960 that must be. I mean, it could be. Actually, there 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.000 are multiple Paul's in the company. Could be Triple H. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.920 Could be Paul Hayman. I don't know who Mickey is, 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.960 and I certainly don't know who this chef is. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.200 But that's not true because it goes on to say 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.800 whether it's your assistance, a chef, Brad, Nick, Johnny, or 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.000 whoever sees us together. I think it's undeniable to them 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.000 or anyone who sees us that we. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.559 Are actually you may be right, I may have. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.920 We are in love with the capital L, which is 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.120 one of the things that she's accuser has said that 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.079 she has lifted directly from that GQ thing with Megan 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.360 Kelly and machine Gun Kelly. I think whatever named Megan 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.080 Fox and machine Gun Kelly, I think that in Megan 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.040 Kelly and machine Gun Kelly together, that's the story. 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.240 Actually, this it maybe an issue with the front page 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.960 of Wrestling Observer dot com because the letter on the 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.840 front page ends with it must be intoxicating with no 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.840 other and not even a period there. So presumably there's 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.760 more of the letter I have not read. So if 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.240 you're listening to this and you're an editor at the 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.840 front page of the website, you might want to put 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.880 the rest of the letter in. So what does it say? 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.280 What names does it say? After that? 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.720 Again, at one point in this long thing it says 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.760 whether it's your assistance, a chef, brad Nick, Johnny, or 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.000 whoever sees us together. I think it's undeniable to them 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.320 or anyone who sees us that we are in love 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.200 with a capital L. Others who think they know you 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.760 so well must be surprised when they see us act 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.600 so sweetly together, practically like kids. 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.680 Where is this entire letter? I may have to go 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.000 to the Post. Well, we'll follow that up after the break. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:52.760 Well, yeah, and there is. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.160 But yes, I presume that's in there if you've read. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.960 That, Yeah, that's in the New York Post. And even there, 0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:59.760 if you go to the New York Post site, it's 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:03.080 got a kind of a slide show for it, which 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.760 goes seven pictures. So that shows you how long this 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:07.360 letter is. 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:12.120 Why is this so difficult because it's Monday, Well, it's 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:13.720 just I mean, so. 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.839 You didn't have lights set your certain Russell Meania week brother. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.760 Well, regardless, this is this is the latest in the story. 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.200 We'll have more on this after the break, but if 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.240 you have comments, you can text this forty five seven 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.760 eight zero seven five sixty six and that is forty 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.480 five seven eight zero seven, five sixty six. The only 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.800 other thing I could add is the story is apparently 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:38.880 there was another communication where she, I think it was 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.440 on the twenty first, somewhere around there, she got surgery 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:46.720 on her finger, and so she sent Vince a text 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:48.960 basically saying, you know, how am I going to do 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:50.400 this with the finger? How am I going to write 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.360 your letter? And so you know her site is saying, 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.880 well that right, there is proof that Vince told her 0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:02.080 to write this letter to him, and yes, whether it's 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.800 your assistance a chef, so we still know who this 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:09.280 chef is, Brad Nick, Johnny or whoever sees this together. 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.880 I think it's undeniable to them or anyone who sees us. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.960 We are in love with a capital. 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.880 L, Vincey making pancakes, so it's probably safe to assume, 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.520 even though we do not know, that it's his personal chef. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.560 And in this text message that she sent him, which 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.120 the Janelle Grandside did not put out but has said, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.480 yes it did come from Vince, she does say how 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.440 will I write your letter? I can type it and 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.360 read it or try to write it in a couple 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.120 of days. I'm so sorry if I messed this up. 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.000 I want you to have a nice letter. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.840 Back in a moment. The more Everybody Observer Live. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.640 You are listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Albarez 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.400 and Mike simper vv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.880 Back in the show, Bryan Albert is here Wrestling Observer Live. 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:31.560 Mike simper Vv also Wrestling Observe dot Com. This punk 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:36.960 interview MM. Apparently we'll be talking about that tomorrow but. 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.960 You know, it's funny talking about it tonight, That's sure. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:45.080 You know what's funny is uh you know, I I've 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.520 read I haven't heard it from him, so I'll say 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:52.200 limited things, but I've read the recaps of what he said, 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.600 and it's it's pretty funny how nothing he's said contradicts 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.800 anything that we reported at anytime about any of this. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.160 So about that. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.919 About maybe that's that part of it is stuck in 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.680 an NBA somewhere in Jacksonville. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:14.520 So tonight is raw and they have tough competition and 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.400 as a result, my absolute most hated thing on earth 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:25.119 first hour of raw commercial free. So uh yeah, that'll 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:29.160 be fun. But it is completely sold out and they've 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:34.480 got a big lineup for tonight, including the Rock and 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.200 Roman Reigns are going to be appearing on the show. 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.080 So whatever the show does, it is going to do 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.040 as good as it could possibly do. We can we can. 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:49.639 Say that, well. 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:52.000 It's going to be as good as it can possibly. 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.080 If those damn basketball. 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.440 Game, if they didn't have these these ball players had 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.320 to head. We've also got Di I Wy versus New 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.400 Day versus Judgment Day in an eight man tag. Let 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.159 me start over again. These eight man tags missed me 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.760 up every time. D I Y and the New Day 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.760 against all of the Judgment Day eight man tag. We 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:15.560 got Candice and Indie versus Ivy and Maxine, and Sammy's 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.679 Ain will be facing Bronson Reid, which is a rematch. 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:25.000 I so Bronson Reid beat Sammy last week, and I thought, well, 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.560 you know, the obvious is, you know, Sammy's gonna beat 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.040 Gunther and then Bronson will be one of his first challengers. Yes, 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.720 maybe not. Sammy may should beating him tonight. 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.440 WHOA, look, I'd like to see that. But remember Chad 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.399 Gable was there giving advice to Sammy's Ain. I don't 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.520 think they'll do this. I hope they don't do this. 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.320 They're not going to turn this into a four way, 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:45.760 are they. 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:47.879 I think that that would be a bad. 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.880 Idea, insane, but you know what would be good. 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.560 I can tell you that from what I understand, that 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.439 is not the plan. You know, and plans can change. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.159 But right now, it's a singles. 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.280 Match, Sammy's Ain defending that title in Montreal against Chad 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:02.400 Gable and Bronson reed. 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.040 Well, they've also I mean the other thing is they've 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:09.840 announced the participants in there, The Giant Memorial Battle Royal 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.840 and Bronson is in there, as is Chad Gable. So 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:15.920 I don't think they're turning this into a four way. 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.159 It's it's and it is scheduled at this point to 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:22.520 be a singles match at WrestleMania. And then we've got 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.399 Standing to Liver Go Home Show tomorrow, which is Carl Anderson, 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.600 Luke Gallows versus Zaxim and Nathan Frasier versus Joaquin Wilde 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.480 and Cruise Del Toro, Carmelo and Trick have their final 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:37.560 face off Lyra and Rox sand in Supernova Sessions, Soul 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:41.119 Ruca versus Blair Davenport and Fallon Hanley versus j C. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:54.000 Jane Wednesday, we have got Dynamite in Wooshter, is that correct? Worcester, Worcester, Worchester, 0:19:54.920 --> 0:20:00.439 Massachusetts with Samo, Joe and Swerve Strickland in a contract signing. 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:02.720 And you know, as much as people talk about how 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.800 there's too many contract signings, the fact of the matter 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.960 is AW doesn't do a lot of contract signings. There 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.280 are a million contract signings, and so when you hear 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.239 that there's going to be a contract signing on this 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.199 AW show's like oh my god, another one, but they 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.200 actually don't do it very often. 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.880 As long as somebody goes through a table, that's all we. 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:26.000 Need that shows it. Twenty seven seventy three at this point, 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.440 this Dynamite. On Wednesday, we have the Young Bucks versus 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:33.760 Best Friends semifinal match, aw Tag Team Title Tournament, Mariah 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.960 May versus thunder Rosa, and a number one Contenders match, 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:41.040 Will Ospray versus Powerhouse Hobbs in the Battle of Will's 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:49.879 Billy Gunn versus Jay White, and I Assure did? I 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.919 Assure did? And Chris Jericho will call out hook. You know, 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.960 watching watching Rampage. I mean, I don't want to go 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:04.359 on a big thing, but there's a reason that aw 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.080 was on fire in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty and 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:13.040 WWE was having double digit declines, and that was because 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:19.520 WWE sucked and AADUBD was a far superior alternative. And 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:24.000 the fact of the matter is you if you are 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.439 number two and you're trying to beat number one, number one, 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.960 it's hard no matter what. But number two you got 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.400 to be better than them in virtually every single way. 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:37.080 And you know, two weeks ago on SmackDown, we saw 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:43.399 home invasion storyline with aj Styles and La Night, and 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:47.919 then we saw this one with the ass boys, Like 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.439 literally they got into the house by using the garage 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:52.639 door opener because they're his sons. 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.520 It's not a crime if it's family. 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:57.120 And then they walked into the house and you could 0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.199 see that like Billy Gunn or maybe his wife or 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.720 maybe both of them were like, do not destroy anything, 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.120 and so they got to knock an empty milk jug 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:10.639 off the counter, and then they acted like they were 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.480 going to destroy the TV, which, by the way, you 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:14.160 can go to Costco and get a TV that big 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:17.280 for like one hundred and forty dollars. No, they did 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:19.200 not allow them to even bring in a fake TV 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:22.840 to destroy. And then Billy showed up and they left, 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:27.120 and it was like the WWE version was a billion 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:27.840 times better? 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:28.959 Wasn't there? 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:30.080 Billion times better? 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:33.159 Wasn't there? Also? Whether is it the dynamite from the 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:35.919 week before or from a couple of days before playing 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.280 on the TV even though nobody was in the house 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:38.640 at first? 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:40.200 Oh hey, I mean, if Billy was on it, maybe 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:41.240 you wanted to watch it in a loop. 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:43.920 I can unders maybe they were sitting outside and or 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.640 completely deaf and didn't hear any of this going on 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:51.000 before they stepped back through the front door. But look, 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.440 most of the time, and there's an exception to every rule. 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:59.760 Funny doesn't make money, levity does in serious situations. The 0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:03.040 less of some Hey the Rock and Stone Cold Steve 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:05.840 Austin and singing back and forth to each other before 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:09.240 Rustlemania eighteen or whatever it was. That was funny, but 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:12.359 it was also involved in something that was really heated. 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.840 This was just a throwaway, and at least when it 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.280 came to La Night and aj Styles, we got a 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.440 little bit of a different spin. Even if you thought 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:24.720 it was stupid. We got bodycam footage from cops supposedly, 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.000 and we got more of a story. 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.040 Yeah, it was extremely well done. 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:35.199 And so again, Jay White, I don't know, seems like 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.119 you could be doing something better than this. But Philly 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.760 Gunn against Jay White in twenty twenty four, here we go. 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:47.399 Point is, Tony needs to sit down probably with some 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.680 other smart people, because they got plenty of smart people 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:54.320 working there, let me tell you, and figure out what 0:23:54.520 --> 0:24:00.000 can we do better than WWE and focus on Trump 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:06.199
