Speaker 1: Franks Staffle Gregg Susman will be joined my Gannie Staffle
Speaker 1: in a few moments to help us preview wrestle Mania five,
Speaker 1: well as all the other wrestling events going on this weekend.
Speaker 1: Any other baseball that's Frank, You want to get to
Speaker 1: you before we hit in the wrestling, No, I think
Speaker 1: we hit it. I think we hit a lot. Regarding
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, we went a little bit deeper there
Speaker 1: towards the end. Uh. We're getting a lot of lineups here.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of day baseball today, which I'm
Speaker 1: very excited about. Actually we have we have four day games.
Speaker 1: We have the first one starting at two ten. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to see if there's anything lineup related that stands
Speaker 1: out to me. Yonder Alonzo in the lineup against lefty
Speaker 1: u say Cakuchi, but batting all the way down at seven,
Speaker 1: Beef Castio batting clean up, So that stands out to me.
Speaker 1: Your boy Chris Taylor in the lineup once again against
Speaker 1: the lefty Tyler Anderson. Anything else here for the Rockies,
Speaker 1: Garrett Hansen batting seventh, as well, Padres framirayus in the
Speaker 1: lineup batting clean up. There is no Hunter Rentfrow today.
Speaker 1: Francisco Mahia in the lineup for a day game for
Speaker 1: the Pod Ray is going up against Jack Flaherty. That's
Speaker 1: the Cardinals home opener. Fulton Wong also in the line up,
Speaker 1: still against the lefty, batting eight. And let's see here
Speaker 1: Stephen Dugger leading off the Giants, Kevin Polar making his debut.
Speaker 1: And guess what, Greg Bruce Bochy lied to us. What
Speaker 1: do you mean as if a manager would ever lie
Speaker 1: to us? Oh my god, because the other day he
Speaker 1: said Steven Dugger is gonna be our starting center fielder
Speaker 1: Kevin Plar will be playing right field. Well today they
Speaker 1: are swapped, so I imagine that will be the case,
Speaker 1: and that's what it should have been all along. Kevin
Speaker 1: Polar adding seventh in his debut playing center field. Stephen
Speaker 1: Ugger leading off and playing right field. My boy, Austin
Speaker 1: Meadows leading off once again. Yandy Diaz back in the
Speaker 1: lineup after he left the other day with a what
Speaker 1: leg injury? I think it was an ankle thing actually,
Speaker 1: so he's batting fifth. Brandon Low clean up? My man? Wow,
Speaker 1: Brandon Low? Actually? Uh? Anything else here now? Reds a
Speaker 1: standard Winker leading off, Adam Fraser leading off once again.
Speaker 1: There you go. Some line up stuff, Greggy Um, nothing
Speaker 1: crazy though, those I think those are probably the biggest
Speaker 1: takeaways for me here from some of the early game lineups.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Great on a scale of
Speaker 1: one to uh excited like stone called bashing beards together
Speaker 1: and pouring them all over your face? How excited are
Speaker 1: you for this weekend of wrestling, specifically WrestleMania. Have they
Speaker 1: done a good job? All right? Well, I guess that's
Speaker 1: that's all you need to know. It's not the best
Speaker 1: job I've ever seen, not the best it. Correct me
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. Greg. It seems like you've kind of
Speaker 1: fallen off the love of wrestling the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: Is that true. I don't think so. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I feel like when I met you five six years ago,
Speaker 1: you were much more into it. Admittedly so was I.
Speaker 1: I just think you were waring too when you met me.
Speaker 1: I don't think my love or or just love has
Speaker 1: changed anyway. I think I'm still into what I've always
Speaker 1: been into, which is kind of the real story behind
Speaker 1: the story. I'm always much more into that than anything else. Um,
Speaker 1: I've always been into. Like I still DVR Ron SmackDown.
Speaker 1: I watch it. I could literally watch back Down in
Speaker 1: ten minutes. I watched Ron a half hour. Um, I
Speaker 1: think it's the only way to watch it. I can't
Speaker 1: do it. I still get excited for certain things, like
Speaker 1: for WrestleMania, Like I'm excited that the women remain inventing
Speaker 1: like they deserve it. That is the most over um
Speaker 1: story on the card, and the most over story of
Speaker 1: the card deserves the main of WrestleMania, And to me,
Speaker 1: it's clearly a set. Charlotte's in it. And let people
Speaker 1: about that with your brother. Um, but you know, I'm
Speaker 1: really excited for that match, is right the prospectus the
Speaker 1: most over wrestler in come to right now, Yes, she's
Speaker 1: and she deserves it. And then definitely I'm excited now.
Speaker 1: That story never made any sense. And again I'll talk
Speaker 1: to your brother about a lot. I think that's my
Speaker 1: problem is that I think they had a direction of
Speaker 1: WrestleMania and it's changed too many times. It sounds a
Speaker 1: lot like w w E, but the difference is in
Speaker 1: this scenario that it changed because they wanted to give
Speaker 1: us service to their fans rather than a disservice, and
Speaker 1: I think that includes Becky Lynch. Like Becky Lynch was
Speaker 1: supposed to be the mint event Usto Mania, it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be Charlotte versus Rhonda Rousi, and it changed
Speaker 1: when the fans got behind Becky Lynch. So I give
Speaker 1: ww A credit for that. Now they wanted Charlotte in
Speaker 1: there because I think they think number one she deserves
Speaker 1: to be number two. She helps produce some of the
Speaker 1: best matches in Women's wrestling ww A history, and the
Speaker 1: whole way they got there was on a straight line,
Speaker 1: and it didn't work. I think the main event for
Speaker 1: the World champ for the World ww E Championship, which
Speaker 1: is Kobe kingson Daniel Bryant, that wasn't supposed to happen.
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be Daniel Bryan versus Kevin Owens,
Speaker 1: and because it was Kofi, they've kind of gone on
Speaker 1: this wavy line. It didn't really make sense how they
Speaker 1: got here. The only thing that kind of made sense
Speaker 1: was Seth Rollins facing Brock Lesner, but even that kind
Speaker 1: of had a way because you had Roman come back
Speaker 1: when he wasn't supposed to come back for a while,
Speaker 1: and they had a whole shield thing and kind of
Speaker 1: never made sense that Brock and Seth are like, oh,
Speaker 1: they really eat each other. You didn't. You didn't really
Speaker 1: feel that, or you didn't necessarily see that. So I
Speaker 1: think ultimately that didn't really work out straight. And everything
Speaker 1: else on the card outside a couple of other matches,
Speaker 1: really we're thrown together. And I think that's kind of
Speaker 1: why my anticipation isn't necessarily where it usually is, because
Speaker 1: I'm excited for some of the matches. I'm excited for
Speaker 1: people getting opportunities. Other than that, it just feels like
Speaker 1: a mish mosh and I'm excited to watch because I
Speaker 1: always watch it, but I had no interest in going
Speaker 1: this year. It's way way, way too long for me
Speaker 1: to time the show start five? Is it five? I
Speaker 1: feel like it's earlier. It's not earlier than that pre
Speaker 1: show starts at five. Traditionally the shift to minnight ish.
Speaker 1: Last year went past midnight. So that's seven plus hours
Speaker 1: of wrestling any game time. You know, you get New
Speaker 1: Japan the night before, and you get the Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame the night before, and you get any tea on Friday,
Speaker 1: and it's it's a lot of wrestling to consume. I've
Speaker 1: seen people that speculate that over the next coming years
Speaker 1: will make wrestle Manania a two day event. So I've
Speaker 1: seen that, like start Saturday. Whatever. I've seen that. I
Speaker 1: think there's some greetings to that to doing that. Um. Unfortunately, though,
Speaker 1: the question because what happens to the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: what happens to n XT and where you gotta put
Speaker 1: these things? But a two day event of wrestlement is
Speaker 1: really interesting. Can they Would it be that crazy if
Speaker 1: they did the Hall of Fame earlier on Saturday? No,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't. But three o'clock. Are you packing a stadium
Speaker 1: with eighty thousand or whatever the made up number is
Speaker 1: going to be two nights in a row? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think Well for WrestleMania it's different though, because people
Speaker 1: come from all over the world. Right, what you're gonna
Speaker 1: be here no matter what what are you? They're probably
Speaker 1: here for the entire I agree, But what do you
Speaker 1: what are you going to charge for that to pack
Speaker 1: of stadium for eighty thousand people two nights in a row? Well,
Speaker 1: why would you change? Would? I guess you do have
Speaker 1: to change the prices, right, of course you do, because
Speaker 1: you're not getting rents out the main the rent out
Speaker 1: of football stadium. They have it right now because they've
Speaker 1: set up a stage and stuff for Mania. But like
Speaker 1: maybe they do the pre show stuff at like Barclays
Speaker 1: or MSG. They make a local arena and then the
Speaker 1: next day to do okay, the main card whatever, like
Speaker 1: maybe one hour of preview whatever, get everyone hyped up
Speaker 1: for it, start the show at eight to midnight, WrestleMania whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that if you're a customer, you're
Speaker 1: going to WrestleMania, you want to go to the who
Speaker 1: wants to the pretty show? You don't go to. Johnny's
Speaker 1: here in studio, So I guess we'll find out, you know,
Speaker 1: if he's going to the pre show. I know he's
Speaker 1: gonna be there. Johnny, come over here below the camera now.
Speaker 1: No no no no no no no no no no
Speaker 1: no no no no you walk right, no walk in
Speaker 1: front of the camera. He walked right in front of
Speaker 1: the camera. Everything we told you, don't everything that you
Speaker 1: were did? You did? Your Mike's on, so be careful.
Speaker 1: We're joined now by Frank's little brother, bigger brother, big
Speaker 1: little brother, something like that. Johnny Stample. What's up? Johnny?
Speaker 1: Going on? Guys? Here's Johnny and when? And we did
Speaker 1: not we did not hurt that. We did not plan that.
Speaker 1: And you see Johnny is wearing his deck down in
Speaker 1: his cane versus Undertaker. I could hear that's as yours. Well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know we're not talking about the Tigers anymore, guys.
Speaker 1: Spencer Turnabowl was the first hour we're not talking about wrestling. Um, Johnny,
Speaker 1: how are you, man? I'm good? How are you? Johnny
Speaker 1: comes in every year it's a preview a wrestling I
Speaker 1: met with us, whether it's the Royal Rumbull or WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: You left work early these our third year doing this together,
Speaker 1: third year doing this together. So Frank asked me, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it to you now before you got here, freak,
Speaker 1: you asked me how excited I am for WrestleMania, and
Speaker 1: he goes, I feel like you were coming less of
Speaker 1: a wrestling fan since I've known you know that's not true.
Speaker 1: I just think that my anticipation level isn't you know
Speaker 1: what it is for this particular WrestleMania. I'm interested in
Speaker 1: the main event. I think they've done a nice job
Speaker 1: building that up, although we'll talk about how it was
Speaker 1: not a straight line of any sort um. How excited
Speaker 1: are you as as the much hardcore, more hardcore wrestling
Speaker 1: fan of any of us? How excited are you for WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: I'm excited, but I see what you guys are saying.
Speaker 1: There are certain matches that I'm just like, they're cool,
Speaker 1: but do I want to see them? And like I
Speaker 1: feel I feel like the way that they hyped up
Speaker 1: maybe this year was not done well at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like storyline wise, a lot of things I feel like
Speaker 1: should have happened weeks ago, and I feel like kind
Speaker 1: of got to like the two week period before me
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, this match is happening now, and
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, it should have been hyping this up
Speaker 1: for the last four weeks, not two weeks. That's that
Speaker 1: was kind of how I felt that the Brock and
Speaker 1: Seth match in particular, that's the one match I really
Speaker 1: felt like I could have been doing for a while
Speaker 1: and they haven't. And then we'll talk about why, um
Speaker 1: coming up, Frank, do you wanna I think we should
Speaker 1: do this where since you're not really in the know,
Speaker 1: why don't you after the break kind of run down
Speaker 1: the car and we'll break it down and go that way.
Speaker 1: There's like seven team matches and the ridiculous like that.
Speaker 1: So we'll start coming up out of the break before
Speaker 1: we get into the break, which comes about seven minutes
Speaker 1: from now tonight. Next here you going? What are you
Speaker 1: going through this weekend? Russamania and Monday Night Raw? All right?
Speaker 1: Very nice, very cool? Um, how can we're not going
Speaker 1: to next day? Uh? Those prices are disgusting. WrestleMania, how
Speaker 1: dode that's also disgusting? Where are you sitting three six.
Speaker 1: He's got it all, he's got it ready to go. Specifically,
Speaker 1: there you go. You want to hang out with Johnny?
Speaker 1: Seat fourteen. The hand point with it, it's very funny.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, fourteen. He praised a much more speencier than
Speaker 1: they were six years ago. Because I remember I was
Speaker 1: saying on the air yesterday, I spent two hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: I sound like a two hundred level. I could see
Speaker 1: you could see six years ago. And now he spent
Speaker 1: more than I did, and your seats are much worse.
Speaker 1: But did you buy them from Ticketmaster when they went
Speaker 1: on sale or did you buy them from StubHub? I
Speaker 1: went on from seat geek, from from stuff. You know what,
Speaker 1: you gotta get in on the ticket Master man, like
Speaker 1: whenever they do the pre sale. That's why I bought
Speaker 1: my ticket Master. If you do that, then you'll you'll
Speaker 1: get I think you get a little bit better of
Speaker 1: your money's worth, you know what I'm saying, Greg, So happened?
Speaker 1: I think you know what I've found interesting just talking
Speaker 1: already is what I enjoyed most about wrestling fans is
Speaker 1: that everyone watches for something different. You watch for the
Speaker 1: behind the scenes stuff. I watched purely for the wrestling.
Speaker 1: I don't really care much for the so proper stuff
Speaker 1: the drama. Like if it's if it's going well and
Speaker 1: if it's a story that's told well, then sure I'm
Speaker 1: into it. Like I love the when Becky Lynch got
Speaker 1: busted open and she like ran through the crowd. That
Speaker 1: was awesome. That that was really cool. But I mean,
Speaker 1: like I want to see awesome matches. I want to
Speaker 1: see acrobatics. I want to see you know, I want
Speaker 1: to see guys going back and forth. I want to
Speaker 1: see long matches. I want to see hardcore blood. I
Speaker 1: want to see for the matches, and you know, you
Speaker 1: like the behind the scenes more and I do some
Speaker 1: people who only watch it for like the story and
Speaker 1: to be entertained, and they don't really care much about
Speaker 1: the matches. A lot of people ask forward the matches,
Speaker 1: and I think that's to me, what's most cool about
Speaker 1: wrestling and the fans in general is that you're gonna
Speaker 1: ask ten different people and get ten different answers what
Speaker 1: they like about. I think that's you. I think John
Speaker 1: and I line up pretty well with why we both like.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like getting way more into it. That
Speaker 1: I am at this point in our lives, probably cause
Speaker 1: you're a little younger than me. Um, but I think
Speaker 1: a lot younger, like half your age. Um. But I
Speaker 1: think that we kind of see it very very similarly.
Speaker 1: So there's that UM for you Innumania at x T tonight.
Speaker 1: Are you excited for that? Like? Yeah, I mean I'm
Speaker 1: hosting it at my house. Yeah, he's coming by an
Speaker 1: XTA party at Frankie kind Yeah, great, come through. I'm through.
Speaker 1: Let's travel home together. You travel to my house here,
Speaker 1: my dad now big Robbie sauce. We're actually starting later
Speaker 1: than usually. I'm starting to nine under ten dinners eight
Speaker 1: m M bunnets. Buddy might gets how to work at
Speaker 1: eight and he's not gonna get to me after nine.
Speaker 1: It was what is King of Beers going out? That's
Speaker 1: why I was able to host it. You for food
Speaker 1: pizza it Friday. There's no in regular We're getting a
Speaker 1: Silian one of each beers everything ado what. I love it.
Speaker 1: I'm loving you kind of hesitate when you said your
Speaker 1: side for tonight. There's probably like one or two matches
Speaker 1: I'm not excited for. Like, I don't understand why the
Speaker 1: war Raiders are fighting Ricochet and Alistair when they're they're
Speaker 1: like on the main roster, and they're they're also fighting
Speaker 1: for the SmackDown tacting titles this Sunday, so well, I
Speaker 1: think it's kind of like their Goodbye, right, I guess
Speaker 1: their Takeover Goodbye. Basically, I think it would have been
Speaker 1: better if it was war Raiders versus Fishing O'Reilly, especially
Speaker 1: since we've seen that already though No, but I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: especially since Adam Cole is in the main event for
Speaker 1: the title, so I think it would have been cool
Speaker 1: they all got exactly at the end of the night
Speaker 1: have well, I think it's it's interesting and so we
Speaker 1: was talk about to take Over now because it was
Speaker 1: obviously supposed to be Guardiano and Chapa kind of the
Speaker 1: three Year Odyssey ends with Guardiano beating Chapa for the title.
Speaker 1: That was clearly where this was going um and Cole
Speaker 1: was supposed to be in the North American Championship as
Speaker 1: supposed to be a triple threat match between Matt Riddle
Speaker 1: and Velveteen dream Well, they could have done kind of
Speaker 1: along Year Lives. I think they might do this maybe
Speaker 1: at the next Takeover if Cole does win the title,
Speaker 1: which I think is possible. They could have the war
Speaker 1: Raiders against Fishing o'reiley and have Roddy entered that North
Speaker 1: American title scene, and they all have the belts holding
Speaker 1: out all the championships. I think I think that's something
Speaker 1: we could see in the future tonight, right, I think so? Personally,
Speaker 1: I think so. I don't know why. I didn't mean
Speaker 1: it in the sense that it's not like he needs it,
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't have to win, but I meant
Speaker 1: it as in, like, okay, like he should be the champion. No,
Speaker 1: I mean so, like I said this, this whole plan
Speaker 1: was for Johnny Gargano to win the title tonight. That
Speaker 1: was the plan, lands change. I just don't know, like
Speaker 1: how many times could you paint Johnny as a loser
Speaker 1: before everyone just knows that this guy is a loser.
Speaker 1: That's the thing, Like he's the lovable loser. But it's
Speaker 1: all kind of come full circle for him to win
Speaker 1: now too, So it wasn't the flip flop. The story
Speaker 1: was being told is that like he was such a
Speaker 1: loser that he could only win if he kind of
Speaker 1: embrace this like the evil side, which is like trusting
Speaker 1: Champa he lost with Champa because he well he purposely lost.
Speaker 1: Your fake got hurt, and then he like beat up
Speaker 1: Champa after the mass saying like he's gonna be himself
Speaker 1: and he's gonna win. He's gonna be the good guy again.
Speaker 1: It was all part of this high level storytelling and
Speaker 1: all honest day, which is rare for wrestling, and it
Speaker 1: was all leading up to this good overcoming evil Gargano
Speaker 1: being in Champa. That was it. And now if he
Speaker 1: loses again to Adam Cole, even if the undisputed ever
Speaker 1: in their fears, it's like, all right, he lost again.
Speaker 1: Do you really need to see Gargano fight for the
Speaker 1: title next Takeover again? No? I don't think there's any
Speaker 1: story there. I think Gargano has to win. Are you
Speaker 1: tired of Gargano vers Champa? Like if it was gonna
Speaker 1: happen again, I feel like the past eight takeovers each other.
Speaker 1: I think I've seen enough Gargano Champa like a good
Speaker 1: couple of years. It's like it's like, yeah, the same thing,
Speaker 1: Like I was, I was done with that for a while.
Speaker 1: I wasn't I love it because shut him up a
Speaker 1: little bit for a while, and then you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of you. Now you bring it back, and I
Speaker 1: think what will happen is what you happen. Does come back.
Speaker 1: We'llcome back as a tag team, probably on the main roster,
Speaker 1: and that'll be yet we'll finish breaking out n x
Speaker 1: T get right in the wrestle Menia. It's your wrestle

Speaker 1: Jeff Kings first question is tough man. What's gonna open?
Speaker 1: What's gonna open the show? I don't know. It was
Speaker 1: a tough question, that was really tough. Out of the choices,
Speaker 1: I was torn between the Sea title and other. So
Speaker 1: I'm leading towards a SmackDown title or other. I feel
Speaker 1: like they want to start with a bang. So the
Speaker 1: reason they don't start that you got in your kind
Speaker 1: outside because you I think you wanted a little darker
Speaker 1: for the demon. This is true, This is true. They
Speaker 1: could start with a copy and Bran. That sucks, I
Speaker 1: don't think. So there's a lot more choices. If it's
Speaker 1: other right now right, it could be like Randy and
Speaker 1: a J. It could be. It could be it could
Speaker 1: be the Mizzen shame. Well, that's what they say about Mania.
Speaker 1: If you're not if you're not last, you want to
Speaker 1: be first. Right, open up the show and the title
Speaker 1: was first last year too. I like the d AJ
Speaker 1: call that could that could definitely have because I actually
Speaker 1: think that they could have a really good match. I
Speaker 1: think that match is going to steal the show. I
Speaker 1: think they could have a really good match. Ord angle
Speaker 1: will go on later on in the night. Uh school,
Speaker 1: this are did you actually very fun questions. So this
Speaker 1: is the Draft Kings thing that you're doing regarding WrestleMania, right, Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're the Draft Kings thing that your brother just talking about.
Speaker 1: I'm revealing it to the audience because I think we
Speaker 1: talked about it during the break. So oh yeah, So
Speaker 1: this is basically a Draft Kings WrestleMania challenge. Were asking
Speaker 1: you like ten questions and they're not like the normal questions.
Speaker 1: I kind of cool and including like, all right, here's
Speaker 1: the normal one is like, well, Rondo Arousey retained the title,
Speaker 1: but all right, the outcome of the w Championship matchical
Speaker 1: we determined by pinfalls mission just qualification or count out.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, pfull I agree. All right, Rock Listener retain
Speaker 1: the Universal Championship. That was the toughest question. That's the question,
Speaker 1: right you don't I say, you say yes. That's a
Speaker 1: question where we're jumping to the end of the card
Speaker 1: and just giving our predictions already, Greg, all right, uh sorry,
Speaker 1: finishing finishing off the n X t um He's kind
Speaker 1: of know that. Next day, So, yeah, which match are
Speaker 1: you most pumped for tonight? And XC? Greg most pumped
Speaker 1: for Gargano. Uncle, it's gonna be really good. There's be awesome.
Speaker 1: Riddles might be amazing. Walter and Pete Dunson to be
Speaker 1: sick velveteen dream something Dream the Dream Riddle match is
Speaker 1: gonna be good. But I'm just not a fan of
Speaker 1: Matt Riddle. The bro doesn't do anywhere here reminds me
Speaker 1: too much of Zach Ryder. Like, come on, Bro, I
Speaker 1: like Zach Ryder, but writer bite off right here better? Well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like the better version of Rider. Yeah. Uh, don't
Speaker 1: be crapping on the Long Island. I z I love
Speaker 1: Zach Ryder. I was original Long Island as he watching
Speaker 1: like your brother. Let's be honest. Okay, let's getting the
Speaker 1: wrestle man. Are you going we're not going to Frank
Speaker 1: tell the tomorrow. I'll right, he's got enough. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be a wrestle any all day and yeah he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's going to raw the next day too, So WrestleMania
Speaker 1: going on. Let's do it. Are you actually gonna be
Speaker 1: inside the building for the pre show, Johnny? Oh? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: You're gonna spend a lot of money, but I'm sorry. Yeah, personally,
Speaker 1: I would probably just have someone bring a TV or
Speaker 1: something and watch the pre show from the outside and
Speaker 1: drink a bunch of much cheaper beer. Then I would
Speaker 1: go in maybe like towards the end of the pre show,
Speaker 1: What would you do? Greg, I don't That's why I would.
Speaker 1: I would go in it like you're gonna be spending
Speaker 1: twelve dollars a pop on a beer inside. Uh, MetLife,
Speaker 1: I agree wholeheartedly. If I'm there for seven hours, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm at least drinking a beer per hour, So, oh
Speaker 1: my god, twelve times seven. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm doing all that. Now. This math is kind
Speaker 1: of out of my It's like eighty four bucks and people,
Speaker 1: what was your Uh So I looked up what it
Speaker 1: was in nine it was like eight thousand, like six something.
Speaker 1: I did eighty thousand, seven hundred and twelve. It's like
Speaker 1: eight thousand to four thousand to thirty eight. Okay, alright, cool,
Speaker 1: that's fun. That's the made up number you're going with? Grey, Alright,
Speaker 1: that's gonna got many your card. Frank present the match.
Speaker 1: We'll break down the storyline if we're interested in worth alrighty,
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the cruiserweight Championship that would be
Speaker 1: on the pre show, right moves. You don't want to
Speaker 1: do this, all right, Well, we don't have to go
Speaker 1: deep into it. I'll just give me. I'm just kidding
Speaker 1: Y versus Tony Nice. I'll say, Tony NIE's a local
Speaker 1: duties for long. I'm gonna go with Buddy Murphy. Buddy Murphy. Sure,
Speaker 1: I'll go with Buddy Murphy as well. The women the
Speaker 1: Women's Battle Royal, Greg, So, is this just their version
Speaker 1: of the Andre the Giant Ball, the Young Battle La
Speaker 1: Battle roy One of the two, wasn't one of them
Speaker 1: a really bad like human? Why would they do that?
Speaker 1: So that back actually just begin the Women's Battle Royal.
Speaker 1: There's a moola that our oil? All right? Is there
Speaker 1: are there any storylines going into this one? Is there
Speaker 1: anything that we need to know about? Yeah? So the
Speaker 1: basically storyline was supposed to be a Woman's championship match
Speaker 1: on the Car. We're supposed to be Oscar defending against
Speaker 1: both Mandy Rose and Sony Deville. Vince the literally hours
Speaker 1: before SmackDown a couple of weeks ago, said this is
Speaker 1: silly and just gave the SmackDown title to Charotte because
Speaker 1: he thought it'd be cool to have both titles in
Speaker 1: the main event. So then there was no follow up
Speaker 1: on this past backdown about it, and then you kind
Speaker 1: of just said, all right, all the other women other
Speaker 1: than those three or in this Battle Royal and the
Speaker 1: tag team match or whatever most of the words in
Speaker 1: the Battle Royal, there's no real storyline going into it
Speaker 1: other than the Oscar and those two women. That's literally it,
Speaker 1: Donny anything to add to that pretty straightforward a right,
Speaker 1: So who's your who's your guest? That's to who wins
Speaker 1: this women's Battle Royal and the kickoff show, just so
Speaker 1: she can have a win because they're just like not
Speaker 1: doing I'm gonna go with Oscar. Yeah, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Oscar as well. Here we go. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be the night I'm gonna go with here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: we said we were wrong, we were different. Can you
Speaker 1: guys give me like a multiple choice so I could
Speaker 1: at least have like, who are your top four to
Speaker 1: win this thing? We'll just give you the tops two.
Speaker 1: Oscar is one other than who's your pick other than Oscar? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm actually looking at a prediction article and they have
Speaker 1: Lacy Evans as well. Could be she could be a
Speaker 1: good choice. Kind of randomly pushing her right, like, this
Speaker 1: is true, This is true. I didn't even think of her.
Speaker 1: She could be a good choice as well. Yeah, I see,
Speaker 1: you see I threw something out there. It's not a
Speaker 1: bad one. Not anyone else. Who's in the mix here?
Speaker 1: What about Alexa Blitz, No, no chance wrestling? What about
Speaker 1: Nya Jacks, She's wrestling later. Oh, she's in the team. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll say it's either Oscar, Lacy Evans, or Shana Basler.
Speaker 1: That's what I'll do. Shana Basil might be in this one.
Speaker 1: Who knows. Sure? They usually put something so you're both
Speaker 1: still going with Oscar. You're changing to Lacy Evans. Now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Ostar Oscar. Okay, I will go
Speaker 1: with Shana Basiler. I kind of like that call. Remember
Speaker 1: one year, Hideo, what Tommy was in there? Yea, you
Speaker 1: never know? Armbar? So let's can say the arm bar,
Speaker 1: the armbar, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal who
Speaker 1: won this thing last year? The mojo was two years
Speaker 1: That was two years ago. Sorry, I'm putting you guys
Speaker 1: on the spot here. Matt, Matt Hardy. One last was
Speaker 1: last year that Matt Hardy, who is now retired. He's
Speaker 1: he's in it. Yeah, he's back, but he's Hardy. Worries
Speaker 1: are back. Okay, well they're all in it. They're always
Speaker 1: back instead of being a tag team match, and they're
Speaker 1: in this. It's very little sense, all right, Andre the
Speaker 1: Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Greg, what do we have here?
Speaker 1: Uh So, the only storyline going into this this is
Speaker 1: broun Stroman is feuding with Colin Jos and Michael j
Speaker 1: from SNL and I don't know who those people are,
Speaker 1: so they do weekend update on on SNL. They're a
Speaker 1: white guy and a black guy and Uhman is somewhat
Speaker 1: feuding with that. Those were the local competitors that he
Speaker 1: squashed on Monday Night. They yes, basically, um so that's
Speaker 1: the only storyline, so I'll put bron Stroman win. Wow,
Speaker 1: Gregg going with all the talk here, Johnny, what do
Speaker 1: you have? I'm also gonna ca the bron strom Now
Speaker 1: the stores everything wrong because I want to be different
Speaker 1: than keep a tracking us is realistic though, Andy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's two predictions. One has braun Struman, one has and Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'll go with and drunk. I don't know wrestling.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look up some WrestleMania odds too. All right,
Speaker 1: the next match while you do that, the WrestleMania thirty
Speaker 1: five betting on. Hold on, I'm gonna give it to you. Second,
Speaker 1: we're on radio here here, I know, I know. I
Speaker 1: try to move along and see what we have here. Okay,
Speaker 1: is this really on the pre show the Raw tag
Speaker 1: team change? Probably yes? Oh gosh, well, all right, well
Speaker 1: that's not good. The Revival going up against your local competitors,
Speaker 1: Zach Ryder and Kurt Hawkins ak the edge Heads. So
Speaker 1: this match was thrown together after this past Monday Night
Speaker 1: Raw and a there's always a few of these and
Speaker 1: backstage ben yet where it was kind of rumored for
Speaker 1: a while that this would be the match, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't built up in any way because the Revival we're
Speaker 1: just losing to Alistair Black and Ricochet a lot um.
Speaker 1: So basically, Kurt Hawkins doesn't want to match and like
Speaker 1: years and teamed up with this old buddy Jack Ryder.
Speaker 1: They challenge the Revival. The Revival said yes, and here
Speaker 1: we are the Revival versus Hawkins Rider. The question is
Speaker 1: this Hawkins get the win in his hometown with Rider.
Speaker 1: Do they be the Revival, Johnny, they do, We're gonna
Speaker 1: see the streak end, so they don't. Oh wow, you
Speaker 1: guys have different opinions for something they don't. Well, that's great.
Speaker 1: I think they would be slightly more billed up if
Speaker 1: he did, but probably not. I mean, you never know
Speaker 1: what them okay, um, I will go with if, well,
Speaker 1: the Revival should win this, right, he should, yes, But
Speaker 1: they randomly let Zach Ryder win the Intercontinental title, which
Speaker 1: is a probably years ago ever so, and he lost
Speaker 1: it the next day, So I can see something like
Speaker 1: that happening again. I guess I'll take Zach Ryder Kurt Hawkins.
Speaker 1: They win it and then probably lose it like a
Speaker 1: tomorrow or tomorrow very possible, very possible. Actually like that,
Speaker 1: So I'll take those two. The edge Heads. Do they
Speaker 1: come out as the edge Heads SmackDown Tag Team Championship
Speaker 1: also on the pre show probably probably Gosh, this will
Speaker 1: be the USO's versus Ric Ciche and Alistair Black versus
Speaker 1: the Bar. We are the Bar versus Russef and Shinsky. Nakamora,
Speaker 1: Oh my guy, Lamary he's got a match. Let's get
Speaker 1: the title match to a precio tag team match. Nice,
Speaker 1: Why do you have to frame it like that? Give
Speaker 1: it the background everybody there. There is no storyline for
Speaker 1: this match at all. These just the tag teams that
Speaker 1: are all on SmackDown other than the New Day randomly
Speaker 1: in Satitay and Hartburn Gallas. I just looked. I just
Speaker 1: looked up the betting odds. They have Gronkowski as the
Speaker 1: second best favorite to win the arm Bar. I said,
Speaker 1: I mentioned him. All right, Well, well back to the
Speaker 1: SmackDown Tag Team Championship, Johnny, what do you have because
Speaker 1: there's no story here. I think I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: the US retaining. I agree. Really, come on, man, Kamra,
Speaker 1: you guys don't have any faith, no negative um. All right, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: there's not really anyone else that I really like here.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna give it to Canna, say Alice Black.
Speaker 1: That would be dumb. Probably, I would say that would
Speaker 1: be Dollion's been done. I don't be dumb. The bar,
Speaker 1: they don't really need it, I'd say. I'd say the
Speaker 1: Ricochet and Alistair Black are probably the co favorites of
Speaker 1: this match with the US. Actually the prediction I'm looking
Speaker 1: at has Usos or Ricochet and Alista Black is the
Speaker 1: backups to me, No, I don't really try to people.
Speaker 1: I'll take as well whatever curd Angle the farewell match,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be on the main card. Right, this
Speaker 1: is on the card. So it's kurd Angle take Angle
Speaker 1: against Baron Corbon. So the story with this match, Frank
Speaker 1: and everybody listening is that Kurt Angle was now it's
Speaker 1: on a farewell tour which started out of him having
Speaker 1: some like good matches and then stopped where there an
Speaker 1: ant match and then he wouldn't have it. That happened
Speaker 1: several times. Um, there's a rumor that it was gonna
Speaker 1: be Baron Corbyn. Then the rumor was like they wouldn't
Speaker 1: actually do that, They'll pull them. They'll never actually make
Speaker 1: the last match of Card Angle be Baron Corbin and
Speaker 1: it would probably be John Cena. And everyone's still chance
Speaker 1: for Sina and there's been no indication whatsoever that Sena
Speaker 1: would replace Baron Corbyan in this match. Now it's still possible.
Speaker 1: We'll see, but for now we'll assume it's anglo versus Corbyn.
Speaker 1: If it is Karn Angle win his his feral match,
Speaker 1: and actually no matter, I haven't Seena will lose. But
Speaker 1: if it's Corban, you're supposed to go out on your
Speaker 1: back technically, right, that's what they say about Baron corn
Speaker 1: that's a Baron Corbyn. Is there any chance that Okay,
Speaker 1: while Baron Corbyn is coming out, like maybe before the
Speaker 1: match starts, like John Cena just comes out, speeds to
Speaker 1: crap at a Baron Corbyn and then they have their
Speaker 1: match together. Absolutely, hern Angle gave John Cena his first
Speaker 1: match of his career, and you could kind of play
Speaker 1: off that story. Certainly they should have built that up
Speaker 1: then a little bit if they were gonna do right exactly, So,
Speaker 1: I will say that Angle defeats Baron Corbyn. They don't
Speaker 1: do that. I agree with that, but I will say
Speaker 1: if he faces John Cena, he loses. Said. I will
Speaker 1: also say that w W is keenly aware that everyone
Speaker 1: wants us to be Angle Cina, and there this entire
Speaker 1: WrestleMania season, as I'll get to a little bit later,
Speaker 1: has been giving the fans what they wanted. I'll just
Speaker 1: say that, but I predict it will be Angle over Corbyn. Johnny,
Speaker 1: what do you think does John does John Cena come out?
Speaker 1: Is it Corbin versus kurd Angle? Who do you think wins?
Speaker 1: I'm torn here between two choices. So one of them
Speaker 1: I see Angle actually demolishing Corbin and the squash match,
Speaker 1: and then seen It comes out like this quick match
Speaker 1: and the scene it comes out and they have a match,
Speaker 1: and then I would say seen It wins. However, though
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like Corbin might beat the
Speaker 1: Angle if it's just it's like a real match. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I see Angle winning here, Well, you
Speaker 1: have to give us a prediction. I'm gonna go to Corbon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's mistake. Alright, Well we we will. Surely
Speaker 1: we will find out. Have they built this up well
Speaker 1: or not? Really? I just explain, I'm sorry, I was
Speaker 1: looking at the odds. If I'm speaking perfectly honest, herd
Speaker 1: Angle minuses match the Miss versus Shane Meekman. So let's
Speaker 1: count anywhere, Greg, What do we have with this? This
Speaker 1: is one of the better built up matches actually, of
Speaker 1: the Actually I saw this at the last last. This
Speaker 1: is one of the better built up matches on the show,
Speaker 1: only because it's been going on for a while the
Speaker 1: storyline is very dumb, but it's been built up very
Speaker 1: well in that all right, the miss, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: when the Miss loses ever, but he couldn't compete in
Speaker 1: the Best of the World tournament back in Saudi Arabian
Speaker 1: and like October November, Shane McMahon took his place. Shane
Speaker 1: was still a face. U MS was a hell. Miss
Speaker 1: begs Shane to be tag team partners. That turned missface.
Speaker 1: They won the tag team titles, then they lost the
Speaker 1: tag team titles, and then Shane blamed the Miss, and
Speaker 1: now they're fighting. That's the story. The other story going
Speaker 1: into it is that Mrs Daddy was never proud of
Speaker 1: him until Shane McMahon got there and now and now
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what to stay to his father. That's
Speaker 1: the other storyline. So it's a Miss versus Shane McMahon.
Speaker 1: Normally I always picked the wrestler over Shane, but as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, Miss, losing matches like doesn't matter. With that reason,
Speaker 1: I'll take Shane McMahon. Oh, are you willing to throw
Speaker 1: it down a few shekels on that one, Greg, Because
Speaker 1: they have Shane McMahon at plus two eighty, I would
Speaker 1: have the Miss minus four hundred. That's my favorite bet
Speaker 1: plus two eighty at Shane mcmah. It's good bet. What
Speaker 1: do you think I'm gonna go with the miss? I
Speaker 1: don't go with them as well. You're going with the favorite.
Speaker 1: Do you like the way that they have kind of
Speaker 1: told this story. I mean it's kind of like I
Speaker 1: don't really care about. To be honest, it's a match
Speaker 1: I don't want to see. I thought it was pretty
Speaker 1: predictable after the last pay per view, After after they
Speaker 1: lost a match, you knew someone was turning on someone
Speaker 1: to be the miss. Yeah, this is always a better
Speaker 1: heel in his face. This is true. She's taking the
Speaker 1: miss here. You're taking good odds. Those are good odds.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet this, but I I think the Miss
Speaker 1: is gonna win. I think if you're looking for it
Speaker 1: on your dog. This is my favorite one of the
Speaker 1: night thus far. Especially odds pretty good. Let's eighty. All right,
Speaker 1: let's see here. Moving on. That's false. Count anywhere match
Speaker 1: you have any like you have high expectations for that match. No,
Speaker 1: it's false. Anywhere could do a stupid bump somewhere. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. He's gonna do that jump across the ring
Speaker 1: or jump onto you and an announced table Women's Tag
Speaker 1: Team Championship that is Sasha, Becks and Bailey where the
Speaker 1: champions going up against Phoenix and Italia. I had no
Speaker 1: idea she was back versus Nya Jacks and Tomina versus
Speaker 1: the Icons is a fatal four way. Yes, wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: what do you got here? Greg? So the breakdown here,
Speaker 1: it's just really very simple. The the champs defended last
Speaker 1: month against Naya and Tamina. They beat them. Uh. Then
Speaker 1: basically Beth is on commentary that led to Beth and
Speaker 1: Italian getting involved, and then the Iconics are on SmackDown
Speaker 1: like one of the only true women's tag teams in
Speaker 1: w E. She's like, hey what about us? Which is
Speaker 1: which is true? Then the Iconics actually beat Sash and
Speaker 1: Bailey on an episode of SmackDown. Uh. Then they had
Speaker 1: a title shot which they obviously lost. Um. But the
Speaker 1: Iconics one of my favorite current acts actually on the show.
Speaker 1: They're hysterical. They do their job really really well. Because
Speaker 1: of that, the reward when a real WrestleMania match was right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would love for them to win. They're actually much
Speaker 1: better now than they were ever in n x T.
Speaker 1: I think they're crushing it right now. Like I said,
Speaker 1: my one of my favorite acts on the show. I
Speaker 1: think Sash and Bailey ultimately retained, but I'm reading thro
Speaker 1: the Iconics. I'm gonna go with the Iconics on this.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. I do think they're gonna take it. I
Speaker 1: think favorite Bailey and yeah minus and they will say this, guys,
Speaker 1: there have been a lot of bad gimmicks and stuff
Speaker 1: throughout the history of wrestling. Obviously, um this team name
Speaker 1: for Sasha Banks and Charlotte Connection is the worst thing
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. Boss and Hug Connection.
Speaker 1: There's definitely been worse. That is god all terrible. You
Speaker 1: can't think of anything better than that. It's not terrible,
Speaker 1: it's very bad. It's like the Rock and Roll Connection.
Speaker 1: There minus three odds Greg the Iconics at plus four hundred,
Speaker 1: you could take the field against the favorites at plus
Speaker 1: two forty five. I'm taking I took Bailey and I'm
Speaker 1: just sorry about what are you doing. I'll think the
Speaker 1: Iconics as well because I want them to win, only
Speaker 1: because I hate the name Boston Hug Connection. I'd take
Speaker 1: a break at the top of the card. It's up, naxt.

Speaker 1: experts dot com. Alright, so where we'd leave off. We
Speaker 1: left off with the women's up. Next we have the
Speaker 1: United States Championship, which is Samoa, Joe versus Ray, Mysterio
Speaker 1: and Greggy. You have a theory on this one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they had a weird match between Mysterio and Baron
Speaker 1: Corbyn last week where Corban injured his ankle. Not really, Um,
Speaker 1: some serios even on SmackDown and Joe did cut a
Speaker 1: promo I think after the show calling out MYSTERIOSI Mysterio
Speaker 1: will be find a compete at WrestleMania. There's been zero
Speaker 1: builds in the match whatsoever. Um. There was a four
Speaker 1: way feud for a while with Andrade Ray, Our Truth
Speaker 1: and Joe and Store Joe won the US title and
Speaker 1: that was seemingly leading to Samoa Joe versus Cena, and
Speaker 1: then it kind of inexplicably got dropped out of nowhere
Speaker 1: and then they just said, all right, Mysterios gonna fa
Speaker 1: is Joe. But there were no follow up to that
Speaker 1: at all. I could see them just like not even
Speaker 1: just not doing anything with his match, like just not
Speaker 1: having it, just skipping it. What happened to be better
Speaker 1: mass that doesn't happen, you probably get your money back. So, Johnny,
Speaker 1: what do you think Samoa Joe against Rama Sterio? Does
Speaker 1: that happen? Does John Cena like they're short on time
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, this is the match that goes away.
Speaker 1: There are a chance that John Cena just like replaces
Speaker 1: Rama Sterio somehow, and then they do this is the
Speaker 1: second year in a row. There's a big rumor that
Speaker 1: would be Joe were sorry two years ago there's but
Speaker 1: Joe Sina was the one um and they pulled it
Speaker 1: and they changed it to the Sina miss to the
Speaker 1: Sena and his wife versus missing his wife thing. Um, Yeah, Johnny,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Uh? If Massira is out? I
Speaker 1: can see Joe like cutting a promo and then being
Speaker 1: like like, oh, like I'll have an open challenge or whatever,
Speaker 1: and then seen it comes out. But if that match happens,
Speaker 1: I'd probably just say Samoa Joe over Mysterio. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: agree with that, and Samoa Joe here minus two sixty favorite.
Speaker 1: If it happens against Mysterio, I think he wins. If
Speaker 1: John Cena comes out and faces him, uh, John Cena
Speaker 1: is not losing. I don't think so. Coming up next,
Speaker 1: we have the Intercontinental Championship match. Greggy that it's Bobby lastly,
Speaker 1: the champ going up against the Demon Finn Balor. My
Speaker 1: question to you, has there ever been a bigger lock
Speaker 1: for a win in WrestleMania history. Yes, there has, but
Speaker 1: this is also just just the lock of this WrestleMania. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: yeah it is. It's a weird like they've advertised a
Speaker 1: demon in promos for this WrestleMania for a while. Seven
Speaker 1: kind of knew the demon was coming. Still, very strange
Speaker 1: time for him to bring it out, other than in
Speaker 1: the fact it's the wrestlemannya, Like, I get that part,
Speaker 1: but it's not like he needs to like find his
Speaker 1: inner soul to like get over Boy. Lastly, he beat
Speaker 1: Bobby Lash like every week for like the last four weeks.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really make any sense whatsoever from a
Speaker 1: storyline perspective. It's from a Merchant Guse perspective. Greg indeed
Speaker 1: balor of the Demon wins Um. I do want to
Speaker 1: note before right, that's the biggest favor on the card,
Speaker 1: before you continue on, I do want to know. I
Speaker 1: do want to know we can talk about John Cena. Now,
Speaker 1: John Cena was scheduled for MATCHIC. It's Lara Sullivan who
Speaker 1: is going to debut from XT. He's not one of
Speaker 1: these like big dudes that would love UM, but he's
Speaker 1: having unfortunately, he has some issues, personal issues Lara Sullivan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that has caused him not to debut yet, and he's
Speaker 1: kind of been dropped so that whole match was dropped.
Speaker 1: I think there's a good I think there's actually a
Speaker 1: very good chance we see him debut on Monday Night Raw,
Speaker 1: the day after WrestleMania. UM, but Lara Sullivan dealing with
Speaker 1: some stuff, which is why he and Sena around on
Speaker 1: the card. Is he the biggest debut on Monday Night
Speaker 1: on Raw? Probably? Sorry, Johnny Johnny's gonna be there, So
Speaker 1: I guess I don't think you get anybody you have
Speaker 1: a guests to someone better who debuts on Monday night.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of people in n x T
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe the debut all I mean, they did
Speaker 1: like our Gan Ray debut. Maybe you get Sammy's aim back.
Speaker 1: Maybe say how about how about the Dudley Boys for
Speaker 1: the twelfth time, now employed elsewhere. Yeah, that that's right.
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna see him on Saturday night. He will.
Speaker 1: He's on the r OH card. Up next, we have
Speaker 1: a J. Style is going up against Randy Jorton. Gret
Speaker 1: you gotta tell me about this one, because I'm very intrigued.
Speaker 1: I love both of these wrestlers. So there are rumors
Speaker 1: of A J and Randy Orton finning WrestleMania for the
Speaker 1: past couple of years, and they've kind of held off,
Speaker 1: and now Orton and Styles haven't. Despite being on the
Speaker 1: same brand pretty exclusively the last couple of years, they've
Speaker 1: only faced each other a few times. This is where
Speaker 1: those matches that does not feel overblown, and over the
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks they've actually done a really nice
Speaker 1: job with this match. And building it up. First, it
Speaker 1: was kind of thrown together, and then they've had the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks of promos where they got personal
Speaker 1: and kind of reached people like Johnny and myself. Randy
Speaker 1: Orton's mentioned Dixie Carter and ten A a couple of times,
Speaker 1: and this past week on SmackDown, AJ Style said yeah,
Speaker 1: I might have been wrestling then there, but you were
Speaker 1: in w E failing drug tests. They're like, oh, well
Speaker 1: that's like, well that's really cool. So I can see
Speaker 1: after this match, um, Kevin Owens kind of inserting himself
Speaker 1: in here, um because he kind of is obviously does
Speaker 1: not like a J Styles but takes offensive nothing in
Speaker 1: the arm bar. Probably No, he's like he's gonna not
Speaker 1: even He's gonna be not good enough, better than the
Speaker 1: arm bar, but not good enough for the show type
Speaker 1: of thing. So I think you'll see Owen's in a
Speaker 1: backstage sketch of a Lexa Blissa. Um, you'll see him
Speaker 1: cut some promo somewhere. But uh, this is all too
Speaker 1: place on the Kevin Owen show on SmackDown. And instead
Speaker 1: of like Owen's kind of getting involved there, he just
Speaker 1: walked off, Like I said, I could see him getting
Speaker 1: involved in this feud going forward. Um, but they've done
Speaker 1: a nice job building up a J versus Orton. I
Speaker 1: think a J gets the better of Orton here only
Speaker 1: because he already got the better of him on SmackDown. Um,
Speaker 1: I think a J wins. I think it would be
Speaker 1: a good matchdown. It's my sleeper pick of the night
Speaker 1: for match of the night. What do you think? I
Speaker 1: agreed that I this is gonna be match of the
Speaker 1: night and I'm going with Randy Orton. I don't think
Speaker 1: a J because I I read that this match is
Speaker 1: gonna describer, is gonna continue afterwards, So I think Grandy's
Speaker 1: gonna take the win on at Wrismania. Who won the
Speaker 1: previous meeting between these two? But you said so they
Speaker 1: haven't remembered one on one in a while, but a
Speaker 1: J might have a manating illumination gym. It hasn't. They
Speaker 1: haven't really haven't had a one on one. I don't
Speaker 1: want to atch you in a while. So it is
Speaker 1: worth mentioning that these besides the main event, these is
Speaker 1: the closest odds. So is this the hardest one to
Speaker 1: choose for you? Gregs? Outside of the main event? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean the Bronck Lives and the Rawlins match the
Speaker 1: main event is not harder to choose. Yeah, I meant,
Speaker 1: I meant the Rawlins and Lesser match. Um, I think
Speaker 1: the Kobe match is actually very tough to choose to
Speaker 1: because they have the odds here A J. Styles plus
Speaker 1: one ten and Randy or minus one fifties, so so
Speaker 1: in the favorite. Yeah, pretty close here. And they've been
Speaker 1: kind of painting this up as like w w E
Speaker 1: Indies versus Indian Rights. That is actually a pretty cool storyline. Um,
Speaker 1: I'll take Randy Ortons to me. I'd love it. I'd
Speaker 1: love it they won't do this. I'd love that they
Speaker 1: would do factions in some way, like the w guys
Speaker 1: like versus the Indie guys. That could be really cool.
Speaker 1: I've actually heard a rumor about eventually, um, like the
Speaker 1: guys that were in New Japan from the club like
Speaker 1: randomly getting beat up on nights and not knowing what's
Speaker 1: going on, and then they kind of like form back
Speaker 1: together like Finn balor A J. Gallows and Anderson be awesome.
Speaker 1: I don't think we see that because I think galls
Speaker 1: Anderson are gone, and I think that a j goes
Speaker 1: to Raw and Finnosa SmackDown. So I could see that
Speaker 1: that would be cool though, like an indie faction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's been rumors that like the club and put Kevin
Speaker 1: Owens in it, rumors of that for a long time.
Speaker 1: There's also rumors that when the Undisputed Arrow get called up,
Speaker 1: Owens will be the leader of it with Adam Cole.
Speaker 1: Is that that is like the indie faction. Interesting, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's been That's also that would be great. All right,
Speaker 1: up next, I don't I don't know how much hype
Speaker 1: there is for this match. It's a triple ights versus Batista,
Speaker 1: greg A, no hold Bard for career as you should
Speaker 1: triple anchel win. Yeah, he's a pretty substantial well not
Speaker 1: minus two sixty, yeah, I think, but hesa want to
Speaker 1: come back fight Hunter again on WrestleMania, and they built
Speaker 1: us up well or really terrible. So basically they started
Speaker 1: really well with Batista beat up Rick Flair in the
Speaker 1: back to do I have your attention now? So, oh,
Speaker 1: I was pretty cool. Doesn't show up in roll the
Speaker 1: next week to get He'll heat again? Very cool. So
Speaker 1: then they finally had like the face to face promo
Speaker 1: and Batista kept screaming at Triple Age give me what
Speaker 1: I want, but never actually said what he wanted. He's
Speaker 1: just like, give me what I want, and maybe he
Speaker 1: wants a lot of money, and then hunters like, you
Speaker 1: want me to give you what you want, give me
Speaker 1: what I want, but they never said what he wanted. Oh,
Speaker 1: and then I think Batista forgot his lines' by being
Speaker 1: an actor a Triple Age like you want to fight
Speaker 1: a WrestleMania sure, And I was like, oh, that's all
Speaker 1: you wanted. You probably just needed to say that. So
Speaker 1: that was I'll continue on until a week later Triple
Speaker 1: Age to the promo without Batista, which is much better,
Speaker 1: and and Triple H. Of course, they tried to mix
Speaker 1: real with Ca Fave and Ken Dave Dave, this is
Speaker 1: a Triple Age talking Dave, and I was like, did
Speaker 1: he introduce himself? He did not say. He didn't say Paul.
Speaker 1: This is not working. I tried to make it personal.
Speaker 1: It didn't work. Then they left Batista kind of promo
Speaker 1: this past Monday, but they only let him say like
Speaker 1: three words, which was much better. And that's it. That's
Speaker 1: that's all build up outside of the Boss and hug connection.
Speaker 1: Is this the most cringeworthy build up? This is a
Speaker 1: bathroom break from it? Oh? Really? Yeah? All right, Johnny,
Speaker 1: what do you think when you're gonna go buy a
Speaker 1: buy Beard at MetLife? No, probably gonna be during the
Speaker 1: h the Corbin Angle match. If that's like a real match,
Speaker 1: that's fair. What do you think wins this? Oh? Riple,
Speaker 1: do you have any interest in this or not? Really?
Speaker 1: I mean it's just like a bunch of two old
Speaker 1: dogs fighting to old old dogs fighting, all right. I
Speaker 1: think we kind of gotta pick up the pace a
Speaker 1: little bit here, Greg Roman reigns. It's Drew McIntyre. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also probably like the Lock of the Night was lost.
Speaker 1: They built Drew McIntyre up to loose the Roman Rains agreed.
Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre, if Seth wins, will be the next challenger
Speaker 1: for the title. Nearly as big of a favorite as
Speaker 1: Finn Balers. Roman Rains minus three or five Drew McIntyre
Speaker 1: plus two Roman Reigns should win. Why are they Why
Speaker 1: are they just feeding Drew McIntyre to him? Though? They
Speaker 1: needed to build up a strong heel, which they've done
Speaker 1: and Drew's awesome. I feel good for Julie got that
Speaker 1: he's a one on one on one match, a many
Speaker 1: heads great okay, cool? Uh the w W Championship on
Speaker 1: Smack Day. Of these three to go, right, Daniel Bryan
Speaker 1: versus Kofi then we have Yeah, these are the fine three.
Speaker 1: So the three big championship matches. Daniel Brian the champion
Speaker 1: defending against Kofi Kinston. So this match was supposed to
Speaker 1: be Daniel Bryan, the vegan and the health nut and
Speaker 1: Mr Nature against the every man Kevin Owens was like
Speaker 1: a fact guy that likes hot dogs and burgers and
Speaker 1: nachos and stuff. What happened to that? So that was
Speaker 1: supposed to be the match. Oh my god, I just
Speaker 1: realized they dropped the mysterio dominic storyline, didn't they? That
Speaker 1: was funny. Um, his son came back for a while,
Speaker 1: and I don't really know the point of it, but
Speaker 1: they were building that up and then I think they
Speaker 1: forgot about it anyway. Um, so it waspally Kevin Owens
Speaker 1: every man versus Daniel Brian, the vegan, the weirdo hippie.
Speaker 1: And they had the gautlet matches they kind of do
Speaker 1: every year that you want to smack down on one
Speaker 1: on raw and KOFE kind of like blew it away
Speaker 1: and there use this whole social media craze saying actually
Speaker 1: kofe media and credits w W. They changed their story.
Speaker 1: They moved Owen's returned up. They had they fed Owens
Speaker 1: to Daniel Bryan earlier, and then they gave Covid the
Speaker 1: opportunity to fight at Rsamania, which is awesome. That's a
Speaker 1: great story. The problem is is, uh, they had the
Speaker 1: storyline basically game Vince versus KOFE, and Vince was holding
Speaker 1: KOFE down because iron a he's a B plus player,
Speaker 1: which they kind of alluded to. That was the whole
Speaker 1: thing with Daniel Bryan, which is cool, but they kind
Speaker 1: of too long to get get to the destination of
Speaker 1: Kofe versus Daniel Bryant, where it was too many times
Speaker 1: where they kept throwing different things at KOFE and he
Speaker 1: wouldn't survive it, and then we could go he survived it,
Speaker 1: and then he's fighting now, and then had a contract
Speaker 1: signing where KOFE forgot his lines a bunch and it
Speaker 1: was very uncomfortable. Um, that's it, and here we are
Speaker 1: Kobe versus Brian. I think everybody in the world think
Speaker 1: will win. I'm not as sure as I think most
Speaker 1: people are. I can see them extending this. Uh, the
Speaker 1: most awesome thing they can do is that the New
Speaker 1: Day turn on KOFE. They won't do that, but it
Speaker 1: would be awesome merchandise exactly. So I'll say Kovie wins,
Speaker 1: but the can't get too much of a good thing.
Speaker 1: You can't have too many faces go over. But I
Speaker 1: think Kovie does win. I also think KOFE wins. I
Speaker 1: agree that that this was one of the matches that
Speaker 1: I felt took way too long to get here, Like
Speaker 1: we were at the two week mark when they were
Speaker 1: finally like okay, KOFE prison and Brian, like this should
Speaker 1: have been set like weeks ago. But the only thing
Speaker 1: I do love about this match is that it was
Speaker 1: something that organically happens. It's it's giving the fans that
Speaker 1: they wanted exactly, Like they worked very well and something
Speaker 1: organically just happens and they actually went with And that's cool.
Speaker 1: I like the fact that you brought it up that
Speaker 1: that's basically what happened with Daniel Bryant too. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember we were at one of the first roles when
Speaker 1: they basically asked, like, who do you want to go
Speaker 1: for the title. I had a bunch of dudes lined
Speaker 1: up on this on the type shot, and like everyone
Speaker 1: was freaking out for Daniel Bryan. You were actually at
Speaker 1: that raw So that's that was cool. I'm actually to me, Greg,
Speaker 1: this is my this is my underdog. I like. I
Speaker 1: like Daniel Bryan. I think I think he's gonna win this.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna retain this. I think everyone thinks that.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get a shot. Uh. And they're
Speaker 1: kind of gonna go with the the way here and
Speaker 1: Daniel Bryan's gonna retire. I don't hate it. The Universal
Speaker 1: Championship match, Brock left the champion for what feels like
Speaker 1: the tenth WrestleMania in a row defending against Seth breaking Rollins.
Speaker 1: So I thought for a while Rollins would win this,
Speaker 1: especially when it was Owen's against um Brian UM. But
Speaker 1: then it's like, I don't think too many again, you
Speaker 1: can't have a happy ending for for everybody. Then Roman
Speaker 1: came back and then they can get Roman overcome Brock again. Um.
Speaker 1: So the storyline here, Seth wins the rumble chase. Uh,
Speaker 1: is gonna fight against Brock. They think they had the
Speaker 1: child reading the kind of interrupted that and they never
Speaker 1: really got on the same page. There're a couple of
Speaker 1: good promos between Rollins and Hayman. That's really it. It
Speaker 1: just feels a little lackluster. I think the match is
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. I've they been playing off seth Rawlins
Speaker 1: cashing in a lot. No barely mentioned it. It's more
Speaker 1: the storyline is more, you think. So the storyline has
Speaker 1: basically been that Brock has a lot of trouble with
Speaker 1: guys that are like Rollins, like aj Styles and Daniel
Speaker 1: Bryan Finn Balor, and Rollins is better than those guys,
Speaker 1: and that's why he's going to beat Brock. And I
Speaker 1: don't think he does. I'll think Brock Lesner John I
Speaker 1: want to say Seth, but you know it's Wrestylvania, and
Speaker 1: you know you don't bet against Brock at Mania because
Speaker 1: he's Brock Lesner. But I'm going to so I Chooseth. Wow, alright,
Speaker 1: there you go. Uh. And the odds for this one,
Speaker 1: I mean it's basically a coin flip seth Rawlins minus
Speaker 1: one fifteen Brock minus so very close to uh, even
Speaker 1: odds here between Lessner and Rawlins because I have Daniel
Speaker 1: Bryan retaining, I'm gonna take seth Rawlins to reverse there.
Speaker 1: The main event here Greg got Winner takes all Raw
Speaker 1: SmackDown Women's Championship. I assume that they will unify the
Speaker 1: titles after this. Ron Rowsey versus Charlotte Flair versus Becky Lynch.
Speaker 1: The storyline here is very clear, like they turned Becky
Speaker 1: heel last fall, but by turning her heel, the fans
Speaker 1: loved her because she was saying everything they wanted. So
Speaker 1: she had this crazy but she's supposed to fight Ronda
Speaker 1: Rowsey at Survivor series. She gets a nasty concuss in
Speaker 1: and a broken nose and they had the bloody face.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh my gosh, she's amazing exactly, so
Speaker 1: she was amazing. The fans got way behind her. Becky
Speaker 1: then wins the Royal Rumble and it's all set up
Speaker 1: for Becky versus Rohn Da Rousey, and then they decided
Speaker 1: to insert Charlotte Flair, which never really made any sense,
Speaker 1: and to this day they haven't figured out the reason why.
Speaker 1: And I mentioned earlier on in the show it was
Speaker 1: there's no straight point. It should have been Becky versus Ronda,
Speaker 1: and that's it. They've inserted Charlotte and they've kind of
Speaker 1: kind of up with different ways here. They turned Rhn
Speaker 1: to heal Becky had a bed knee. The authority don't
Speaker 1: wanter there. Then they changed that plan to KOFE and
Speaker 1: it never really made any sense. Instead of just letting
Speaker 1: three women who hate each other, that want the titles,
Speaker 1: that want to be the first person to beat Ronda Rousey,
Speaker 1: that's the storyline. They didn't push that enough until the end.
Speaker 1: It's weird, but we're here Johnny triple threat Becky, Charlotte, Rhonda. Finally,
Speaker 1: Becky Lynch wins both championships. The only question is, as
Speaker 1: you beat ron Da Rousey for it? I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think that's why Charlotton this match. I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna be I think they're gonna protect Rhonda here. So
Speaker 1: then do we get Becky versus Rhonda one on one
Speaker 1: at SummerSlam. Let's say, maybe, yeah, that sounds about right.
Speaker 1: Why not? Yeah, you have Becky winning this. But of course,
Speaker 1: so outside of Baron Corbyn, Becky Lynch is the biggest
Speaker 1: favorite on the card minus four. Obviously, you guys are
Speaker 1: much more in tune with what's going on and wrestling
Speaker 1: right now. This just strikes me as everyone thinks Becky
Speaker 1: land Place is gonna win and they go another direction.
Speaker 1: They can't. I hope they don't. I'm still gonna take
Speaker 1: Becky Lynch to win. I hope. I hope she because
Speaker 1: I want her to win. I want her to win.
Speaker 1: But it wouldn't surprise me, like how many years in
Speaker 1: a row have we wanted brock Lesner to lose? To me,
Speaker 1: the story has to end with Becky tapping out Rhonda.
Speaker 1: I don't think it does. I don't That's how the story.
Speaker 1: Ronda is not going She's not taking the pin or
Speaker 1: submission in this. John stan want to thank Shawn's downstairs
Speaker 1: Alex as well, Chris Mentri two for Jaddy Stanford, for
Speaker 1: Reggie Stanfeld. I am Greg. Having a wonderful weekend. I'll
Speaker 1: see you back yard day. We hope and Joy wrestle. Manea,
Speaker 1: everybody m
