Speaker 4: last week and looking forward to everything that's gonna happen

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 4: this week, and we're gonna try to cram it all

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 4: in one little episode for you every Monday. And man,

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 4: big things happening last week. Josh, what's the first thing

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 4: on the agenda this morning? What's the first match on

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 4: the card?

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with Ronda Rowsey making her surprise appearance

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 5: last Sunda at aw Revolution. Obviously, she used to be WWE.

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 5: She had a run out there, She's had it falling

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 5: out with them, so she said, hey, look I'm gonna

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 5: show up on the competition.

21
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 4: But here's the thing though, this is the second time

22
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: that she showed up there on the competition because I

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 4: think what was she showed up at Ring of Honor?

24
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 4: Was it?

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: What was that Eli Ring of Honor.

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 6: Right, she had a tag match with Marina Straffere.

27
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 4: And then it just kind of was maybe like a

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 4: cup of coffee, and then she went away and now

29
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 4: she's back. But I feel like now that she's back,

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 4: is she signed with AW, because I know Tony hasn't said, hey,

31
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 4: she's signed with US, right, Is that going to move

32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 4: the needle for the women's division with Ronda Rowsey being

33
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: in AW.

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it will.

35
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 5: I think that I think her and wrestling have kind

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 5: of have already passed US by. And that's not a

37
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 5: knock on her or you know, professional wrestling in general.

38
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 6: Or even what she's done in wrestling.

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's has success.

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 5: She's very well known in both MMA and and you know,

41
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 5: pro wrestling, But it just seems like, I don't know

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 5: when I when I saw her show up, I was

43
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 5: kind of like, oh, that's cool. You know, people know

44
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 5: who she is. But I don't feel like there was

45
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: a pop. I don't feel like there was anything exciting

46
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 5: about right.

47
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 4: And that was the thing that I thought myself as well,

48
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 4: because it's like Tony Storm just had a hell of

49
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: a match at the show and then all of a

50
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: sudden there's nothing, and she's just laying there on the

51
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: ramp and everybody's like, oh, there's Ronda Rousei in the ring.

52
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: No Joan Jet playing no like her coming out and

53
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: flinging her like a rag doll.

54
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 3: She just rolled into the ring.

55
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: Camera panned out, there's Ronda Rousey doing her little whatever

56
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 4: point come here.

57
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 5: It kind of reminded me of WrestleMania when The Rock

58
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 5: brought her in with Triple Ah and Stephanie and the

59
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: camera's kind of right next to her and then it's like, oh,

60
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 5: there she is. It just there was no surprise. It

61
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 5: just felt like, all right here, here she is. Look,

62
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 5: I have no problem with her being in it. I

63
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: have no problem with her wanting to return to professional wrestling.

64
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 5: I just I just wish it could have been a bigger,

65
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 5: you know, entrance last week.

66
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

67
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: I think the big thing with her is just I mean,

68
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: she's burnt a lot of bridges. I mean, she's talked

69
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: a lot of almost that right there about you know,

70
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: specifically WWE, but also just pro wrestling in general.

71
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 6: And I don't know, she just I don't know.

72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: I think she's one of those that kind of fell

73
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: into it, you know, like I think she like likes

74
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: wrestling now, but I don't think it was ever a

75
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: passion or ever something she aspired to.

76
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 5: You know, do you think she's still ELI, Do you

77
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 5: think she's still mainstream enough to garner that attention?

78
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 6: I think so.

79
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: The question was something about boosting the women's division, and

80
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: I don't think I agree with you like I don't.

81
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: I don't think she's signing like a three year deal,

82
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: and I don't think she's going to be like, you know,

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: going after Tecla from the world as far as like

84
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: the buzz going into her fight on Netflix and all that.

85
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: And then you know, there's this perception of maybe she's

86
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: doing it as a middle finger to TKO, who owns

87
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: UFC ANDWWE. I could see that too. You know, she's

88
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: kind of maybe got that spirit to her.

89
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: Well, and you mentioned the big fight that she has

90
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: coming up on Netflix, and I've kind of sat here

91
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 4: and thought about this for a second, because you remember

92
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: when they started doing all the promo for Happy Gilmore

93
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: and MJF was in it, and all of a sudden, WWE,

94
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: according to reports, was like, Nope, you cannot have any

95
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: clips of MJF shown, and the Happy Gilmore promo that

96
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: we played during Monday Night roll or this or that.

97
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: How is this going to affect that partnership with Netflix now,

98
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 4: because obviously Netflix made a big ordeal to put her

99
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: and Gina Carano up against each other and this this

100
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: mma fight right.

101
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: Well, now she shows up in.

102
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 4: AW is WW and TKO gonna flex their muscles and

103
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: be like, hey, nope, sorry, just like they did with MJF.

104
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 5: I think it's a little bit different. You know, he's

105
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 5: a contracted wrestler. He's contracted, you know, employee of AW

106
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 5: Like you said earlier, there's there's no there's been no

107
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 5: talk of her actually being signed, and you know when

108
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 5: you're not signed. I mean what I mean, they could

109
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 5: do it. They can do whatever they want. It's their broadcast.

110
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 5: But I don't, right, I don't think. I don't think

111
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 5: it's at that point where they're going to do that.

112
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 5: Plus I don't know if Netflix would allow them to

113
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 5: do it at that point, because you know, that's promotion

114
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 5: for a big event versus a movie.

115
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 4: But you got to understand, though, that was a big

116
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: movie because Netflix has that big, big movie deal with

117
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 4: Adam Sandler.

118
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know It's like, I think

119
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: the WWE deal is bigger.

120
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 6: It's obviously a longer deal.

121
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: And more money and stuff, more moving parts. This run

122
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: to fights a one off, but I mean it's a

123
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: big one off. But still it's just it's a one

124
00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: time a bit. I don't know, man, I mean, you know,

125
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: just seeing how WW has operated my entire life, I

126
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: would not put it past him to the least cut

127
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: at the minimum. If it looks like she's gonna do

128
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: something with AW for the next two or three months,

129
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: then like the fight will not be promoted on WW.

130
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: You know, you won't see it on.

131
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 6: The ring Apron.

132
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: You know, I could see all that kind of stuff.

133
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: But if Netflix wants to run the ad during the show,

134
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: like what is what isw gonna do?

135
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: Right? I agree with that.

136
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be interesting to see how

137
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 4: it plays out. Because again, I think at the post

138
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 4: press conference at the AW show, they asked if Ronda

139
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 4: assigned with AW. I think Tony said that she's with

140
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: us for now, but I don't think he officially said

141
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: she's all elite. I don't think there's like a contract,

142
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 4: So maybe this is just kind of like the Ring

143
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: of honor thing, and maybe maybe they brought Ronda in

144
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,559
Speaker 4: because they knew something was going on with Tony Storm,

145
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 4: because I know that there's the reports out there that

146
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 4: she's not gonna be wrestling for the rest of twenty

147
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 4: twenty six.

148
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: So maybe is this a way that.

149
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 4: You know, they bring more eyes to it because of

150
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 4: how polarizing Ronda is. Yeah, They've also got a lot

151
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 4: of other female wrestlers on the AW roster that you know,

152
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 4: could have TV time, because if you think about it,

153
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 4: I go back to Britt Baker before Tony Storm got there.

154
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: Britt was on TV every week.

155
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: She was kind of the the focal point of aw's

156
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 4: women's roster, and then Tony came in and then BRIT's

157
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 4: off TV.

158
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I could see so Okay, So the

159
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: thing that I'm just curious about is like I saw

160
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: a thing and the angle was who killed Tony Storm?

161
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: And so I don't know if they're doing it, like

162
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: they're killing the character and she's gonna come back as

163
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: a new version or whatever.

164
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 6: But you know, I could see Ronda being a part.

165
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: Of that, like did Ronda do it, you know, or

166
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: you know, maybe Britt being it or even come he Ill.

167
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: You know, like I think that ship may be sailed,

168
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: but you know, there's just so many people that are

169
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: just i mean not even being considered for TV time

170
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: right now.

171
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 6: So I think that's part of it.

172
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: Is just you know, when you have someone who's.

173
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 6: Kind of vocally.

174
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: Ripped the pro wrestling industry to come back and get

175
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: a marquee spot with Tony Storm probably one of the

176
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: top five in the world right now, I think that

177
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: could rub people the wrong way backstage as well.

178
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 5: To be seen, I'm I'm I'm excited to see what

179
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 5: they're going to do. I actually kind of have like

180
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 5: this small inkling like or idea like it would be

181
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 5: awesome if there was some kind of legit beef between

182
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 5: you know, Rhonda and t k O and WWE, and

183
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 5: you know, things are mentioned on TV that you never

184
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 5: thought would be mentioned before, and yeah, we're in a

185
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 5: good place with that. We're in a good place.

186
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we're stick.

187
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 5: We're gonna stick with a w And I'm very I'm

188
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 5: very interested in this one. Ricochet had some words that

189
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 5: he had said on social media about a woman with

190
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 5: MS and there was some backlash with it. Uh So

191
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 5: he immediately apologized. I think the original tweet was deleted,

192
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: which doesn't mean it he never said it, and it

193
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: went it went viral quickly. I mean I saw that

194
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 5: almost immediately the other day in the morning. I mean,

195
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 5: is this is this gonna affect his career? Is this

196
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 5: gonna you know? And and a lot of people are like, oh, well,

197
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 5: that's his character. Now, he's a jerk, he's an a hole, whatever, whatever.

198
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: I think that's crossing the line.

199
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: And yeah, and I'm right there with you. I think,

200
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: like I get it, you could be a heel. Like

201
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: if you watch any of the interactions with m j F,

202
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: like he is a heel to the t what you

203
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: see on TV, what you see a meet and greets whatever,

204
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: And I see m JF what he does is you know, okay.

205
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 4: But when he was I guess whatever ricochet was it,

206
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: he said like I'm glad you got MS or something

207
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: along those lines. And I'm paraphrasing because I don't have

208
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 4: it in front of me. I do think that was

209
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 4: a little too far. Like again, I get you play

210
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 4: a heel, and I get you kind of have this freedom.

211
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 4: But I think there was like some reports that I

212
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 4: read online where there there was like talks with management. Again,

213
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: reports we're we're not reporters. We're not giving you cold

214
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: stone cold facts, none of that stuff. We're just reading

215
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: what we see online and just kind of relaying it

216
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 4: to you. But I think there was like some reports

217
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: that were out there saying that he's in hot water

218
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: and then you know.

219
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: Potentially losing his jobs.

220
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 4: I know that his fiance Samantha deleted her social media

221
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: accounts because she was getting death threats over it, and

222
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 4: he went and apologized to the person that he tweeted.

223
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 4: But again, it still doesn't make it right.

224
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 5: It just seems like he didn't think before he wrote yeah,

225
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 5: And it kind of reminds me of I can't remember

226
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 5: who it was who did the goose Oh JBL did

227
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 5: the goose step years ago? Uh when w W did

228
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 5: ran a house show out in Germany and it got

229
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 5: a little bit of backlash. But everyone's like, oh, he's

230
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: a heel, he's a heel. I think using someone's uh

231
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 5: illness or disability is kind of off limits.

232
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: You never see MJF do that.

233
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I.

234
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 6: So, I don't. I don't. I don't think this is

235
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 6: going to impact his job. I don't think he's gonna.

236
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 6: You know, there have been.

237
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: Way, way, way, way worse, way worse examples of wrestlers

238
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: fan interactions. And I mean there's been wrestlers that have

239
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: touched fans like like assaulted them. So like, yeah, not

240
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: a great tweet, of course, I think I agree. I

241
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: think he was leaning into the heel a little too much,

242
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: and I think he you know, maybe I don't think

243
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: there was a lot of depth to the thought, like

244
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

245
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 6: I think it was that, you know, from what I

246
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 6: the reports that.

247
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: I read, he he volunteered the apology.

248
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 6: Warner Brothers and AW did not force him to or

249
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 6: anything like that. I you know, it's somebody posted something.

250
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 6: I have limited social.

251
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: By the way, I just have the Twitter thing on

252
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 2: my phone right now. So someone posted about Nick Bockwinkle,

253
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: the legend aw world weight champion for back of the day.

254
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: His whole thing with heel work was you never make

255
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: fun of somebody they You never make someone fun of

256
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: someone's whatever that they can't fix in five seconds, in

257
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: five minutes or five seconds, you know what I mean.

258
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: So like I can't go for someone's weight, They can't

259
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: lose the weight in five minutes. I can't go over

260
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: to their ball. They can't fix that, you know what

261
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Like you have to go over what they're wearing,

262
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: what they're saying to you.

263
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 6: That kind of thing. So in that line of thought,

264
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 6: way out of line. He went way, way, way way

265
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 6: out of line.

266
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: That's just a different stratosphere. But I think it's redeemable.

267
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I think he can come back from it.

268
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 2: I don't think there hasn't been a million instances of

269
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: him doing this, and you know, he's generally considered a

270
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: likable guy in the industry and stuff, So I don't

271
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a long term thing.

272
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 6: But it's it's a black eye of black eyes for sure.

273
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 5: So let me let me ask you something, both of you.

274
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 5: We we live in a cancel culture, and you know,

275
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 5: people say some pretty stupid things. I don't know how

276
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 5: he could get around this without any kind of repercussion.

277
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 5: Whether he gets canceled.

278
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what the future is

279
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: with that.

280
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 5: But there's you know, there's something about it that's it's

281
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 5: just it's not sitting well with me because of the

282
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 5: of a disability, you know.

283
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 4: Right no, rightfully so and it's it's like you know,

284
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: in in mine and Josh's line of work, with us

285
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 4: being in radio, we're always in the public eye. You

286
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 4: watch what you say, you watch what you do.

287
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: And it's been you know, taught to us.

288
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 4: You don't say anything online something like that because like

289
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 4: you could lose your job over it. And like if,

290
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: for example, if on dear My Morning show, somebody calls

291
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: in and like talks trash to me, I don't fire

292
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 4: back at them as on the show, I don't say

293
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: anything wrong to them. I don't call them out on

294
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 4: anything like that. I just kind of roll it off

295
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 4: and go. But if I was to get on the

296
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: radio and somebody came in and said some stuff and

297
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 4: then I was like, you know, well that's why you

298
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: have depression and blah blah blah, Like it's something like

299
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: that you don't joke about, like you said, the mental illness,

300
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 4: uh uh, you know, health reasons things like that. I

301
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 4: think we probably don't see Ricochet on TV for a

302
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: little bit, just to let just to kind of let

303
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: the heat go down. I think he goes into some

304
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 4: sort of like I don't know if it's damage control,

305
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: but I think he goes through something of like sensitivity.

306
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, sensitivity training, that's it.

307
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: He learns more about MS, maybe they find him for

308
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 4: saying that on social media, and then he donates to

309
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 4: an MS you know, charity does something with that person

310
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: that he called out on social media. Again, in this

311
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 4: day and age, I look at it as we have

312
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 4: more access to these wrestlers than we did when we.

313
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: Grew up watching wrestling. Like I can sit.

314
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 4: Here and DM a wrestler and it shows that they

315
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 4: see it if they see it, and I can communicate

316
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: with them back and forth.

317
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 5: Right that, But that kind of that kind of goes

318
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 5: into the parasocial thing where you know, you talk to

319
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 5: someone on social media that's a celebrity, whether they're wrestler,

320
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 5: act or whatever, and you think you know them now

321
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 5: and again behind why he said what he said, destruct

322
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 5: friendly the show?

323
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're friends of the show.

324
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they're they're we're best friends with them.

325
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: Once we talked to the ones exactly exactly. You know,

326
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: they come on here a couple of times. Hey, they're

327
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: friends of the show.

328
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: All jokes jokes.

329
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 5: It's it's it's difficult in this day and age to

330
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: have a kind of privacy when you are a public figure,

331
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 5: like you said, it goes for people like you and I.

332
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: Some of our listeners will send you a d M

333
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 5: or an email and you right back, Yeah, thanks for listening. Yeah,

334
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 5: I think your friends. I don't know what prompted him

335
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 5: to say that. I still I don't know the background

336
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 5: of that, but the fact that he even said to

337
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 5: someone you you would have to you would have to

338
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 5: like have some balls to say that, you know what

339
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 5: I mean, you got to be whether you're doing it

340
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 5: as a gimmick or k fab or whatever. I don't

341
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 5: know the people now, whether it's him, whether it's people

342
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 5: you and I, fans, whatever. I don't know why we're

343
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 5: using social media this way to say whatever we want,

344
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: especially when you're a wrestler, an actor, a singer.

345
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: Whatever, you know. I don't get it.

346
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 4: It's it's a wild time again because when we go

347
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 4: back to like when we grew up watching wrestling, there

348
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 4: was not all this access.

349
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: There wasn't.

350
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 4: Hey, you go to wrestle Con, you pay seventy five

351
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 4: dollars and you get to talk to the wrestler you

352
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 4: wanted to see, that wrestler, your favorite wrestler, Stonecold Steve Austin,

353
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 4: the Rock or whatever. You bought a ticket to the show,

354
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 4: and the closest you got to them is if you

355
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: bought ringside seats.

356
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: But now twenty four to seven access to these wrestlers.

357
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 4: Some of these wrestlers are doing things where you can

358
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 4: pay one hundred bucks and you can quote unquote text them.

359
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: You can pay ten dollars a month and tech talk

360
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 4: to them on only fans. You could do a Patreon,

361
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 4: you could do all these things. But then all of

362
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 4: a sudden, these people think that they're best friends with

363
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: these wrestlers. They think, and then that kind of goes

364
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 4: into where they're like, hey, I'm I know so and so,

365
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 4: Like I could tell you off the top of my head,

366
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: I'm friends with a few of the wrestlers that have

367
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 4: been on the show, like really good friends with them

368
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 4: that I could text him be like hey, you know

369
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 4: you want to do this, you want to do this.

370
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 4: But it's now, with this day and age of social

371
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 4: media and everything, people think because they like a comment

372
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 4: or they followed them back on social media, they're automatically

373
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 4: their their friend and they could just do whatever.

374
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 5: But what what is What prompted Ricochet to say that, like,

375
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 5: what what was the story behind the person with MS.

376
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: I think it was just a comment after he lost

377
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 2: the title. I think he was just kind of doing

378
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: his heel flame out after.

379
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 6: Because the mass.

380
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: But does he do that often online or or is

381
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: this like the.

382
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: Friends since he's been here, since he since he's redone

383
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: his character and he has Yeah, so I didn't know

384
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: if you saw the match, but it was a he

385
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: was the national champion and it was a Battle Royal

386
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: and so the winner of the Battle Royal was the champ,

387
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: so he didn't have to pin get pinned to lose

388
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: the belt. So Jack Perry was the new champ, and

389
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: so it was he kind of has that whole like

390
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: I didn't get pinned thing going for him. But I

391
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: think it was the I think he was just flaming

392
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: out after after he lost.

393
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 5: I just I hey, my brain, I listen, We've all

394
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 5: said some stupid stuff, all of us. I just can't

395
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 5: imagine being in the public eye, like a wrestler in

396
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 5: the second biggest company you know, in the world, and

397
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 5: putting someone down for their disability just because your character

398
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 5: like MJF does it right and I can't. I can't

399
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 5: put my finger on it, and Eli, you might you

400
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 5: might be able to the big here. When I see

401
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 5: his stuff, when I see him say stuff to people,

402
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 5: even when he curses little kids, it's.

403
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: Funny, you laugh, you know, you know he's a character.

404
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 5: But but but you know, like you suspend belief for

405
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 5: a moment, you.

406
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 4: Know, right, and you kind of know it and going

407
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 4: back to it real quick. The tweet that somebody somebody

408
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 4: was responding to a tweet about Ricochet and the person

409
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 4: put a bunch of laughing emoji and said his acting

410
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: hasn't improved. And then that's when he responded back, I'm

411
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 4: glad you got ms.

412
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah, No, that's not cool.

413
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, not a great did he Has he ever said

414
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 5: anything like that, like like that hard.

415
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 4: Times and he's clapped back at people, but it's more

416
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 4: or less of like the trolls of like, well that's

417
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 4: why you don't use deodorant or something along those lines.

418
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

419
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 4: I think this is the first time that he's ever

420
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 4: clapped back and was like saying that to somebody. And

421
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 4: I have no problem with them responding. I mean, look,

422
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 4: if if you want to respond because they said something,

423
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 4: make a joke and make it a harsh joke, don't

424
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: bring the disability. And I'm just so I'm disappoint him

425
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: for doing that. You know, we've talked offline before. It's

426
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 4: not that I'm not a fan of his I just

427
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: it's whatever, he's there. I'll watch his matches. But like,

428
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: do you think it went through his brain like this

429
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 4: could put my job in jeopardy? Well, obviously is, but

430
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 4: it could. I mean, obviously he did have to go

431
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: to that person social media to see that they had

432
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 4: it right.

433
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 5: You know, we all check our mentions, so if they

434
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 5: mentioned him, you know, we all do it. We all

435
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 5: do it, whether you have been on Twitter for a

436
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 5: day or one hundred years, we all look, we all,

437
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 5: we all look. Times you just kind of have to

438
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 5: rush it right off your shoulder. You have to not

439
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 5: worry about it.

440
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: Listen.

441
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 3: You know how many.

442
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: Times people text me and call in on my morning show,

443
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: me like battle you suck.

444
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: I wish the other two guys or they're not wrong.

445
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 3: But yes, yeah they're not wrong, but hey, you know

446
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 3: what it is. What it is.

447
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, well, thanks for listening, thanks for hate

448
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 4: listening to my show.

449
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 5: I still have a Josh say if Ricochet just would

450
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 5: have said, you know, thanks for watching the match. That's

451
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 5: a better response because it's more trolling than calling out

452
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 5: someone's disability.

453
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: I'm just disappointed in him.

454
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I think with all that said, I mean,

455
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: the fallout from it has been way beyond extreme. I

456
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: mean death threats and all that, Like, I don't really care,

457
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: Like that's again way above the past line.

458
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 6: So it's just this whole situation suck.

459
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 4: And again this goes back to the fact that we

460
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 4: have access to these wrestlers twenty four to seven.

461
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 5: Now, you know, if I was watching WrestleMania back in

462
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 5: the day and I saw, you know, a whole cog

463
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 5: and cheat and Randy Savage wins, you couldn't just be like, Hulk,

464
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 5: you're an a hole for doing that or whatever. You

465
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 5: just watched it and complain to your friends and related

466
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 5: waited for the next you know, TV showed a couple

467
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 5: on just to be like he stinks for doing that.

468
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 5: I just I wish some of the I wish some

469
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 5: people just realize, like, you don't have to you don't

470
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 5: have to say stuff like that. It's fine if you're

471
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 5: like us, if we made jokes, fine, it's people that

472
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 5: know each other.

473
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, these wrestlers don't know us.

474
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 5: I mean, like you said, there's some that know us

475
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: as personalities on radio, but they don't.

476
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 4: Again, disappointed they're not inviting us to their birthday party

477
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: or their weddings.

478
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: Let's let's actually talk about Jelly Roll. He made an appearance.

479
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 5: The past Friday on SmackDown, and then he was just

480
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 5: there this past Friday as well. He's the he's the

481
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 5: WrestleMania celebrity as we go on the road to Vegas

482
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 5: this year. I think he's gonna show up at WrestleMania.

483
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: Do you think they're they're trying to plant seeds? Is

484
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: he going to be involved with the Cody and Randy

485
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 5: Orton match?

486
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: You know? I love I love.

487
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 5: When WW uses celebrities, especially on WrestleMania. I wasn't real

488
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 5: fond of Travis Scott last year, but I don't think

489
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 5: anybody was. I don't think any of ye But.

490
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: But I like that.

491
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 5: I like when they bring in celebrities, especially someone like

492
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: Jelly Roll who's training.

493
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: He serious about it.

494
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 5: I read a report today that he like cleaned up

495
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 5: the ring after he was done training at the performance center.

496
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 5: He's he's he wants to be one of the boys.

497
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 5: And I respect that right, and.

498
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 4: I'm right there with you on that because I think

499
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 4: about this and I go back to the times that

500
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 4: we have done this right with celebrities showing up in WWE,

501
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 4: and I think, to be completely honest with you, ever

502
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 4: since Bad Bunny showed up as the quote unquote celebrity,

503
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 4: these celebrities aren't coming in here just to.

504
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 3: Do like a quick spot.

505
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 4: They saw what Bad Bunny did and they're like, we

506
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 4: we can't.

507
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: I mean when Logan Paul came in, Logan Paul, as much.

508
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 4: As we all want to hate him, and he does

509
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 4: really good job as a heel, put in work to

510
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 4: be an actual wrestler and got a contract with it.

511
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 4: I mean again, Bad Bunny, Logan Paul, you sit here

512
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: and you think about it, and I go back to

513
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 4: years ago when they put Snooky in the WrestleMania match.

514
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 3: Right, I'm just like, what are we doing? Like she

515
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 3: and yeah, but I think the days.

516
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 4: Are over of the celebrity coming in to just do

517
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 4: a quick spot and leave. I mean, Jelly Roll, was

518
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 4: it SummerSlam last year that he actually wrestler Cleveland?

519
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: It was the one in Cleveland I think.

520
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: So he actually wrestled and took the pin.

521
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

522
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 3: And I think the days of.

523
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 4: Us going to the wrestlers show or the celebrities shows

524
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 4: up and they just slap the person and then they leave,

525
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 4: like the days of having Floyd Mayweather fight Big Show WrestleMania,

526
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 4: I think that that is over and done with.

527
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: It's uh.

528
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 5: It's interesting because celebrities have always been a part of WrestleMania,

529
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 5: like even since the first one. Yeah, that's that's all.

530
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 5: There was a time sometime after I want to say

531
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 5: early two thousands, maybe a little bit later than that,

532
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 5: where they didn't have any celebrities at WrestleMania. The performers

533
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 5: were the celebrities, you know, Yeah, someone like the Rock

534
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 5: or Batista or whoever. They were names that people know,

535
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 5: and they didn't have the celebrity rub uh. And maybe

536
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 5: they went back to that just because again, that's the

537
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 5: social media thing. It's a good way to get a

538
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 5: viral moment. Blah blah blah. I don't know if we're

539
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 5: going to see any other celebrities.

540
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 4: I could tell you who we're going to see as

541
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 4: a celebrity at WrestleMania.

542
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 5: I don't want I don't want any spoilers do what

543
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 5: I said, Is it a spoiler because I don't like spoilers.

544
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 4: No, it's not a spoiler, just me watching things unplay

545
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 4: on social media. And I'm gonna say this right now

546
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 4: as we are recording this, Tom Brady will somehow be

547
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 4: a part of WrestleMania, I mean and part.

548
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: Owner of the Raiders, so you know he's going to

549
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: be in Vegas exactly.

550
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 4: And you go back to looking at this trash talk

551
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 4: between Logan, Paul and Tom Brady right about Tom Brady

552
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 4: saying it's cute and fake bs and blah blah blah.

553
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you want to go back and.

554
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 4: Listen to an earlier episode of the Battleground Podcast, the

555
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 4: one before this one that you're listening to, I asked

556
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 4: Nya Jacks and lash Legends their thoughts on Tom Brady

557
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 4: and his comments about wrestling being fake and bs and scripted,

558
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: and Nia Jack.

559
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 3: Said, tom Brady gets botox and fillers.

560
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 4: So and then of course the comments on our Instagram

561
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 4: page right now, which, by the way, if you want

562
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: to follow us Battleground Podcast on Instagram, a lot of

563
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 4: people are saying, hey, you know what, let Nia Jacks

564
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 4: wrestle Tom Brady wrestle Mania and let him let her

565
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 4: deflate his balls another way.

566
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: That was what one comment said. I thought was fine.

567
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 5: I'm worried about that though, if it's him and Logan Paul.

568
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 5: You know, everyone seems to dislike Tom Brady and everyone

569
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 5: seems to dislike Logan Paul. But as a wrestling fan,

570
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 5: I'm I'm backing up Logan Paul on this one because

571
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 5: how dare Tom Brady talk smack on the theater?

572
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: The theater, if you will, the entertainments, the entertainment. And

573
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: here's the.

574
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 4: Thing, though, if you want to turn if you want

575
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 4: to turn Logan Paul into a baby, here's how you

576
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 4: do it. You put him up against the most hated

577
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 4: man in the entire NFL history, next to.

578
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: Rodreg And now I still hate him exactly.

579
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: And of course it panned over into that fanatics flag

580
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 4: football that we saw of him and Tom going back

581
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 4: and forth and again going back to what you said, Uh,

582
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 4: it's in Vegas. Tom's a part owner. Rob Gronkowski is

583
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 4: a former twenty four to seven champion for WWE. He

584
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 4: he was sort of in that Andre the Battle Royal

585
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: and he jumped in and that security guard stopped him,

586
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 4: but then he speared gender Mahal and gave yeah, I

587
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: think we get Tom Brady somehow there in the crowd. Right.

588
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 4: If he's in the crowd, he's gonna be a part

589
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 4: of WrestleMania somehow. I don't think we're gonna see Tom

590
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 4: Brady actually wrestle No, I think he's gonna be involved somehow,

591
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 4: some way, because it's a big ordeal for them to

592
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: go back to Vegas, especially with it being the second

593
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 4: year in a row after them kind of telling hey,

594
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 4: New Orleans, we're giving you WrestleMania, and then it's like, Nope,

595
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: just kidding, you're getting money in the bank.

596
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 3: We're going back to Vegas.

597
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, so they're.

598
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 4: Gonna have to pull out all the stops for this

599
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 4: one in Vegas.

600
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 5: And one thing I saw is Tom Brady's gonna be

601
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 5: at Fanatics Fest in the summer, and there's a bunch

602
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 5: of WWE superstars on that as well. Because of Fanatics

603
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 5: and TK and all that stuff. I'm just saying this

604
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 5: could this could lead all the way down to the

605
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 5: Summer Slue. This might be planning the seeds for something

606
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 5: at Summer Slope.

607
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: Now, I don't want to go past WrestleMania.

608
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's I just.

609
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: My whole thing, I guess kind of the Devil's Kid

610
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: is just like you know, the big thing is is

611
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: just like, no matter how good the celebrity is, they're

612
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: taking a spot from someone else, so it has to

613
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: be a home run like it had like and to me,

614
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: jail Roll is not a home run. I mean, like

615
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: seeing him these last few weeks leading up to this,

616
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: I mean, he his acting is awful, Like I don't

617
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what everyone's looking at, but like he

618
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: is not a gre actor and now ri promos are

619
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: very kind of I'm just he's he's he's taken me out.

620
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: Now commend him on the work ethic and you're losing

621
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: the weight and you know, I just saw the report

622
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: on sweeping the rings and all that kind of stuff.

623
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 6: I mean, I can tell.

624
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: He's there, but like that's not not everyone gets a

625
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: WrestleMania moment, bro, especially celebrities.

626
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 6: So that's my concern.

627
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you had someone like Bailey last year, not

628
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: at WrestleMania that's a huge name.

629
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 6: Gun Throw doesn't have a match so far.

630
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: I mean there's just people that should be on this

631
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: show before you start. Let's bringing Tom Brady, Like I

632
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: don't think he's going to do a match, but still

633
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: like I'm just I want to I want to kind

634
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: of pump the brakes on some of these just because

635
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: like this, even aj Aj is like WRESTLEMANI has lost

636
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: the luster.

637
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 6: It's not what it used to be, and.

638
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: I cannot disagree with that, and so that's my whole thing,

639
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: is just cool whatever. And then now we're doing a

640
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: Tom Brady thing and Gronk's probably gonna be like, how

641
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: much Like.

642
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: What if it was a back stage thing? What if

643
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: it was a quick.

644
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 4: I'm fine, you know, just the one word away time

645
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 4: from a real you know.

646
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: Again, they only do three or four matches per night now,

647
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: so I mean, like you think with two nights there's

648
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: way more time. Nope, they're condensing it now, so like

649
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 2: it's there's actually almost less time now, it seems compared

650
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: to previous years. So that's my only that's my only concerned.

651
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he he's not bad, bunny. I

652
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: would not trust him in a ten or fifteen minute

653
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: match with someone, you know, like to go do something

654
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: by myself so like, that's my my hesitation. I just

655
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: I don't think everyone I don't I don't think everything

656
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: needs to play out WrestleMania. Like I don't care about

657
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: Tom Brady and Logan Paul hating each other.

658
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 6: I don't care.

659
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: I don't care about the whole real athlete pro I don't.

660
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 6: I don't really care.

661
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 5: There's so many you have to remember, WrestleMania is the

662
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 5: biggest mainstream wrestling events of the year. People who don't

663
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 5: even watch pro wrestling know what wrestling, people who who

664
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 5: probably haven't watched in years. It's a it's a household

665
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 5: brand well.

666
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 4: And it's also you got to think it's also a

667
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 4: lot much bigger now with WrestleMania.

668
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: It's gonna be on ESPN. This is the first.

669
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: This is the first one on ESPN, so you know

670
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 4: they're gonna have everything for this one.

671
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 5: And that might the other reason why Tom Brady's involved

672
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 5: with it being on ESPN.

673
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: There's the crossover.

674
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 5: I'm I'm an entertainment guy, which is one of the

675
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 5: reasons why I watched ww I like the entertainment side

676
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 5: of it. I think that getting that mainstream coverage for

677
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 5: WrestleMania Survivor series, SummerSlam Royal Rumble. It's done intentionally because

678
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 5: it's WrestleMania. You want the mainstream coverage.

679
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 6: I'll interchecked there.

680
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: Like the whole thing is like they're mainstream, Like they

681
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: don't need mainstream coverage. They are mainstream, Like everything is

682
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: already main Like how much more mainstream can you?

683
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: Like?

684
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: Everything mainstream already talks about WWE Like I said your point,

685
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: but like they're the mainstream, Like they're already.

686
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get what you're saying.

687
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 3: They're already the NFL. Everybody's gonna talk about them.

688
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 5: There's anything something happens Now in September when when Tom

689
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 5: Brady returns to Fox, they're gonna say, oh, you know,

690
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 5: here's if you didn't see it, this happened.

691
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 3: What were you doing over summer?

692
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: Tom? Right?

693
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 6: Right?

694
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 5: I just think that kind of mainstream is what I

695
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 5: mean is that's for the people who your friends, friends,

696
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 5: friends who know that you like wrestling and know your

697
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 5: friends like wrestling, and they might catch a thing here

698
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 5: and there, but unless the Rock is involved, they probably

699
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 5: don't know what's happening. So you put someone like Tom

700
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 5: Brady in there, someone like it's it's giving more ice

701
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 5: the bigger sense of the product because then you go, well,

702
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 5: that's kind of cool. What else do they have? And

703
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 5: you keep watching and that's across the board. That's not

704
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 5: a WW exclusive, that's across.

705
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 6: I mean, it's already the super Bowl.

706
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's a super Bowl wrestling.

707
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: We all know.

708
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: Like it's like smartphones, Like smartphones are saturated.

709
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 6: Like everyone that owns.

710
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: A smart phone is going on a smartphone. Like if

711
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: there's not a there's not a slam, it's everyone has

712
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: a smartphone. Yeah, so I mean I get it. It's

713
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,959
Speaker 2: just again, if it's gonna take away, if it's gonna

714
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: be a you know, Tom Brady, Gronk and somebody against

715
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 2: Paul somebody like a three Like, I don't want it.

716
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 6: I don't want that. I'd rather have going thir fight

717
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 6: squash somebody. I'd rather have whatever.

718
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: You know, Shame has come back and try to go

719
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 2: after that.

720
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 6: I see time.

721
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many different stories that they could do.

722
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: Throw in the they're trying to break up the MotorCity

723
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 2: machine guns, make them just give them a tag mat,

724
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 2: Like what are they doing over there? I don't anyways,

725
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: that's mo Ony gret I don't want these celebrities to

726
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: have marquee matches on something as big as Mania, knowing

727
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: how much talent should be showcased, what.

728
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 4: You're wanting to see them as, like something at like

729
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: a Summer Slam or a Royal Rumbull or even even

730
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: if they do that, like going back to what Josh said,

731
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 4: even if they do a backstage promo, what is uh,

732
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 4: what is the pay per view that's after WrestleMania that

733
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 4: basically is everything from his backlash, So it's pretty much

734
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 4: every match from WrestleMania.

735
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 3: It's just them just getting back.

736
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 4: Maybe put it on that one and you set it

737
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 4: up at WRESTLEMANI but take don't take away the time

738
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 4: because I and you've mentioned his name a couple of times.

739
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 3: Goother does not have anything at WrestleMania.

740
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 4: And and I kind of want to sit here and

741
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 4: get your thoughts on this, because original reports were Goother

742
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 4: versus Ray Mysterio, which was going to be a retirement

743
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 4: match too, and so that was yeah, and so obviously

744
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 4: Ray has been hurt something with his ribs that was

745
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 4: supposed to be the thing. But then I also saw

746
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 4: another report where Ray was like, I don't want.

747
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 3: Him to retire me.

748
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 4: I want Dominic to retire me, which would be much

749
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 4: in the grand scheme of things. I would be more

750
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: invested to seeing Dominic retire his dad than goother retiring Raymond.

751
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 4: So that leads you to the point of you've already

752
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 4: set Gunther up as this quote unquote legend killer. Most

753
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 4: of your main event guys are in their forties, right,

754
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 4: So who are you going to have gnther go up

755
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 4: against WrestleMania and put their career on the line.

756
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 5: I don't I don't think there's anybody. And to be frank,

757
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 5: what is it three weeks now to WrestleMania. This is

758
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 5: the three weeks from this weekend. I know that's not

759
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 5: a lot of time, but it is a lot of

760
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 5: time for as many hours as they do. I don't

761
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 5: see why they couldn't come up with something quickly. I mean, Ray,

762
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 5: I just saw earlier today that ray is going to

763
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 5: retire Clash in what is that in Italy this year?

764
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 5: And it didn't you know, there wasn't like, oh, rumors

765
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 5: are done whatever, but he said, you know, because of

766
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 5: the injuries, we're going to do it at Clash. Yeah,

767
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 5: WrestleMania would have been a great moment for that. I

768
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 5: don't know who Gunther can retire at this point because

769
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 5: you know, your main main event guys aren't retiring, you know,

770
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 5: unless unless some strange reason. Seeing Punk's like I'm done

771
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 5: after WrestleMania, but I don't. I don't see that happening,

772
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 5: you know.

773
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's the thing is who you've already made

774
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 4: guther as again the guy that ends people's careers Sina aj.

775
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 3: As of right now is supposed to be Ray Goldberg Goldberg,

776
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 3: So like, who do you do? You bring somebody back?

777
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 2: See, part of the problem is they painted themselves in

778
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: the corner with Gunther. Gunther's thirty nine years old, bro,

779
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 2: Like he's not like Orton when he was twenty three

780
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 2: or twenty four, Like right, I mean, he could retire

781
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: in two years, and then this whole thing was just

782
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 2: for nothing, you know what I mean? Like, that's my

783
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: only thing is just like some of these you know,

784
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: some of the angles they just throw against the wall

785
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: and see what sticks.

786
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 6: And then when the reality hits like, oh what, oh crap?

787
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 6: Were you know.

788
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: I it's gonna be hard for him to kind of

789
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: have normal matches now because that's the angle that they're

790
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 2: doing is he's the one that retires people. So it's like, Okay,

791
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: he just fought Dragon Lead, does that mean he's going

792
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: to retire Dragon Lead? Like they put so much emphasis

793
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: on that, and and you know, had to tie up

794
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 2: Sena's retirement with Hit, like no matter what the crowd

795
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: was saying, like no we want this one's like okay, well.

796
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 6: Gunster's going to retire.

797
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: Like you know, they were actively not listening to what

798
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 2: the crowd wanted, and you do all this and then

799
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 2: it's like like you said, Okay.

800
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 3: Now what you know?

801
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't know if it's a combination

802
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: of just people aren't ready to retire yet.

803
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: Or or what, but it's just a lack of talent

804
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: that wants to retire at this Yeah.

805
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think it's like you said, I mean,

806
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: Punk's forty eight, but I mean he's now he's in

807
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: the good.

808
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 5: Well, I mean the forty five to fifty is a

809
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 5: lot different now than it was back in nineteen eighty five.

810
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 5: But point, you know, obviously point taking the only one

811
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 5: in battle.

812
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna piggyback off what.

813
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 5: You said, bringing someone back the only the only person

814
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 5: that comes to mine that could do that right now

815
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 5: is Chris Jericho. And I know he said he wanted

816
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 5: to retire. I believe with WWE he wanted to And

817
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 5: you know a run there, that's literally the only one

818
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 5: that comes to mind. And unless they put make him

819
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 5: a surprise appearance on the raw after WrestleMania, he's not

820
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 5: gonna you know, where are we gonna get him between

821
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 5: now and Yeah.

822
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 4: The other the other one you could think of is

823
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 4: in this This could be an interesting one which we

824
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 4: haven't talked about. And I know he's gone through next Surgers,

825
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 4: everything else. Kevin Owens, Like you know, obviously they're able

826
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 4: to have amazing doctors in the WWE that people could

827
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 4: come back and wrestle. I mean, look at what Stone

828
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 4: Cold did a couple of years ago. You know, stone

829
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 4: Cold never really officially retired. He said that he would

830
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 4: still be wanting to do stuff with WWE if the

831
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 4: moment's right. So do you have Gonther retire the greatest,

832
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 4: one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

833
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: That's the tough thing.

834
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 4: Is like Goldberg, he had fans, It's whatever, right, aj

835
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 4: styles whatever. But now you're having to figure out who

836
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 4: can doom to retire, right, Obviously, you're not gonna have

837
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 4: him retire stone Cold. You're not gonna have him retire

838
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 4: The Rock because they're still doing stuff. You said, Chris Jericho,

839
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 4: that would be a great one to retire, but again,

840
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 4: what how, what what are you going to do? Do you

841
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 4: show him at the Royal Rumble and then it's you know,

842
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 4: that's it and Dounter eliminates him.

843
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 5: And if we're thinking past Wrestlingia, possibly, but he doesn't

844
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 5: have a WRESTLINGIA match. So either you're gonna rush Chris

845
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 5: Jericho coming back or somebody coming back in the next

846
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 5: three weeks, or you have to figure out someone who's

847
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 5: absolutely gonna retire, or hey, listen, it's a retirement match.

848
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: But gone through loses, it's okay for come to to lose,

849
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: you know.

850
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 5: I know they build him up as a monster and

851
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 5: beating everyone in his way, but I think he's only

852
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 5: lost one match by pinfall in the last couple of years,

853
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 5: and that was a tag match.

854
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 4: I've got I've got the perfect match for for Gounther

855
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 4: for his retirement. You know how I almost retire. People

856
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 4: have him wrestle Ludwig Kaiser, right and Ludwig Kaiser has

857
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 4: to retire because.

858
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: We all know, yes, we know, we know, we all know.

859
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 3: We don't even have to explain it, but we all know.

860
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 4: So then you just right off Ludwig Kaiser because he

861
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 4: is over in Triple.

862
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 5: A, right and everyone everyone knows it's him anyway, or

863
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 5: do it the other way around and have him retire

864
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 5: aland Americano and Kaiser comes back or.

865
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: Something, you know, or takes the I got you.

866
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 5: I'm not retiring because you retired El Grande and that

867
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 5: could work, especially because he's you know, currently performing. But

868
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 5: but again, you have three weeks.

869
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: You know.

870
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 2: I don't know how Chad Gable retire right right, one

871
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 2: of the one of the But yeah, I think, I mean,

872
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 2: the only thing that I could see happening is just

873
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 2: like if he like, say he got another one retire,

874
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 2: Like let's say he's the one that does ray. I

875
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 2: think from there he would go like the only thing

876
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 2: would be to like win the title back and just

877
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: be another monster heel, you know, I mean, he's eventually

878
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 2: got around out of people, you know, I think there's

879
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: more people wanting to retire later and stuff like that.

880
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 6: So I don't know, it's just a head scratcher.

881
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a well, we have three weeks to figure

882
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 5: it out, and and I'm hoping.

883
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm hoping.

884
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 5: I'm hoping he performs on WrestleMania. I think he's over

885
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 5: enough as a heel and people want I think he

886
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 5: should lose at WrestleMania because it would make no sense

887
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 5: to retire someone. I think it's better to lose on

888
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 5: a big stage because he's been beating everyone since John Cena,

889
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 5: even like Goldberg Sena AJ, Like, Okay, we're done, We're

890
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 5: done with you being retired. I'll tell you what, whoever

891
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 5: it is, I'll beat you. You don't retire anyone anymore.

892
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 5: Like that's kind of where i'd like to, you know,

893
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 5: wanted to maybe Jolly Roll will do it.

894
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: You know, he'll be the one that beats maybe maybe.

895
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 3: I don't know. But they've got a few more weeks.

896
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 4: It seems like they're they're kind of starting to figure

897
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 4: out what this card is going to look like for WrestleMania.

898
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 3: I know, Josh, you're gonna be going there for the weekend.

899
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 4: I mean, so far, what we've got Roman and Punk,

900
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 4: We've got uh Cody and Randy, Uh, what is it

901
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 4: live and uh, Valkyria or not Valkyria. No, as as

902
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 4: the side crowd over here, my nine year old jumps

903
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 4: into it. Uh.

904
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 3: And we've got the Jade one as well. Uh.

905
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 4: Also and we can dive into this uh on next

906
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 4: week's episode talking about how much wrestling is too much

907
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,439
Speaker 4: wrestling on a car because uh, I can understand why

908
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 4: ww split it into two nights. Kind of going back

909
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 4: to aw Revolution, which we talked about the getting of

910
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 4: the show, there was what thirteen matches including a pre

911
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 4: show show.

912
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it ended around what twelve thirty ELI Eastern time?

913
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 5: Is that was in La so yeah, so yeah, so

914
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 5: they were nine thirty then, but still, you know, just

915
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 5: like WrestleMania on the West coast, you know, it.

916
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: Ended last year.

917
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 5: I think it was eleven East, which is a normal

918
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 5: time for you know, sports to end on the East Coast.

919
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 5: You also forgot Oba and Brock, which that which is

920
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 5: my favorite match of the of the show.

921
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that match.

922
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 4: Which I know we're kind of getting up close towards

923
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 4: the end of this, so I want to save that.

924
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 3: For next week.

925
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 4: I have to see just to see how things play

926
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 4: out on Monday Night rawl because this is going to

927
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 4: be a fun one to watch.

928
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 3: I think this could potentially the match of the nine.

929
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, this set up angle was grown worthy, I'll be honest,

930
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: like the whole mass man like just stop all that

931
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 2: crap with Seth bro Like he's back, we get it,

932
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 2: Like it's so confusing, And I just think, I don't know,

933
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,160
