WrestleMania 42, Night 2 Review: Roman and Punk Make The Save

WEBVTT

00:03.828 --> 00:15.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Leave me to do it, it is no pain!

00:15.583 --> 00:16.844
[SPEAKER_00]: The better it is, the better it was, and the better it will be.

00:16.864 --> 00:19.828
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know it.

00:19.848 --> 00:23.633
[SPEAKER_00]: We're back here, in my eyes.

00:23.653 --> 00:27.237
[SPEAKER_01]: The only way to cry, It not reach me.

00:33.275 --> 00:36.778
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I can say is what a difference 24 hours makes.

00:37.139 --> 00:43.745
[SPEAKER_03]: Here we are, WrestleMania 42, night two review, Ryan and Jesse, back with you.

00:44.565 --> 00:46.747
[SPEAKER_03]: Jesse, how you doing tonight?

00:46.767 --> 01:01.881
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know about you, but I think I woke up to a dream of the remix of the Terminator theme in my head, all of the sudden, I think started to start to see things clearly, Ryan, how are you?

01:02.215 --> 01:03.637
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I haven't had the time to look.

01:04.599 --> 01:18.840
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that was a reference to a former owner of a wrestling website who once tweeted back at, what was a revolution 2022 about that AFI song from CM Punk's Ring of Honor past, which he brought back tonight for his walkout.

01:18.940 --> 01:24.068
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes indeed, Punk and Roman Reigns main event of WrestleMania 42.

01:24.609 --> 01:26.552
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll just say this, we're going to dive into it.

01:27.528 --> 01:29.573
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm in a much better mood than I was last night.

01:30.415 --> 01:34.424
[SPEAKER_03]: I did think that going into tonight, the card was much stronger.

01:35.446 --> 01:45.469
[SPEAKER_03]: And as long as they did the obvious, it should be a decent show, at least, because there were stuff on the show, like Obafemi and Trick Williams,

01:45.449 --> 02:07.930
[SPEAKER_03]: two really huge super stars in the main event that you like you know they should have a good show compared to what we saw last night which we spent an hour complaining about and again last night show well where everything we said I have not uh light my mood on any of that I still think it was one of the worst nights of WrestleMania ever think all of that was justified.

02:08.062 --> 02:10.826
[SPEAKER_03]: That said, they definitely rebounded tonight.

02:11.066 --> 02:14.311
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a much, much better show, really enjoyed watching it.

02:14.852 --> 02:17.836
[SPEAKER_03]: Frankly, you know, Jesse, I do a wrestling podcast.

02:17.876 --> 02:19.078
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been doing the show for 10 years.

02:19.178 --> 02:21.061
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't like to come on here in complaint.

02:21.141 --> 02:25.207
[SPEAKER_03]: I would much rather watch stuff that's enjoyable and, you know, be positive.

02:25.748 --> 02:28.652
[SPEAKER_03]: I think tonight show is going to be much more like that because

02:29.476 --> 02:34.643
[SPEAKER_03]: as much as we have talked about Phil Brooks and the choices he has made.

02:34.663 --> 02:40.971
[SPEAKER_03]: He going back on his word and all of that over the last couple of years when it comes down to him as a professional wrestler.

02:41.912 --> 02:43.414
[SPEAKER_03]: We give credit where credit is due.

02:43.654 --> 02:45.597
[SPEAKER_03]: This is an objective podcast.

02:46.378 --> 02:50.263
[SPEAKER_03]: When it comes to WWE, we give credit when credit is due.

02:51.024 --> 02:56.631
[SPEAKER_03]: And what they presented tonight was a very enjoyable night

02:57.927 --> 03:00.503
[SPEAKER_03]: And Phil Brooks, that old dog can still go.

03:00.543 --> 03:02.495
[SPEAKER_03]: That was a hell of a main event, Jesse.

03:02.536 --> 03:04.528
[SPEAKER_03]: Give me your grade and initial thoughts.

03:05.757 --> 03:15.390
[SPEAKER_01]: So from what I caught, I had a very rambunctious, almost five-year-old today, that was throwing monkey wrenches into plans.

03:16.271 --> 03:32.693
[SPEAKER_01]: And I, unfortunately, was able to watch 50% of Wrestlemania tonight, and from what I saw, I would give it, I mean, it's incomplete, obviously, but from what I've seen so far,

03:33.533 --> 03:34.435
[SPEAKER_03]: We're in lockstep.

03:34.455 --> 03:35.316
[SPEAKER_03]: That's my greatest as well.

03:35.516 --> 03:35.997
[SPEAKER_03]: Go ahead.

03:36.017 --> 03:36.218
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

03:36.779 --> 03:36.879
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:36.899 --> 03:39.603
[SPEAKER_01]: So that many events.

03:40.445 --> 03:43.009
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's their two largest names.

03:43.029 --> 03:46.195
[SPEAKER_01]: You could throw Cody in this mix to I suppose.

03:46.836 --> 03:52.065
[SPEAKER_01]: And you could tell night and day difference just by the crowd responses.

03:52.045 --> 03:56.191
[SPEAKER_01]: not just, I think, from the entrances, but also what they delivered in the ring.

03:56.651 --> 04:15.117
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been kind of round about with ticket sales being thrown into the mix, CM Punk talking even about Pat McAfee, which is on a different show, and Roman, not being there for all of these episodes of rock and throw a monkey wrench into things too.

04:15.097 --> 04:24.708
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Roman is still a part timer, which is the only negative I think coming from the from the conclusion of tonight's match.

04:25.489 --> 04:26.850
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what worries me for the future.

04:27.491 --> 04:40.125
[SPEAKER_01]: But rating this on what I saw tonight in in typical this almost like Roman re-wound the clock

04:40.105 --> 04:53.613
[SPEAKER_01]: and Phil did, I think almost the same thing when he was working with the likes of a max, working with Darby, working with Moxley back in AW.

04:53.653 --> 04:56.038
[SPEAKER_01]: Even Drew McIntyre, a couple years ago,

04:56.103 --> 05:18.550
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, big stages bring out the best in the big guns and they deliver tonight and then some and then the other two matches I watched you were able to catch a glimpse of the future in what I've been saying for the last year that it's time to elevate some names and you did just that you especially specifically the opening match set the tone for tonight from what I saw so be plus thus far.

05:19.677 --> 05:21.160
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no, that's where I am, too.

05:21.301 --> 05:26.151
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you didn't hear our show last night, we were both at like D's for night one.

05:26.552 --> 05:34.129
[SPEAKER_03]: And again, that's why I would point to, no matter we get so much shit on social media if we criticize a wrestling company.

05:34.229 --> 05:35.492
[SPEAKER_03]: And we're like, look,

05:35.472 --> 05:55.641
[SPEAKER_03]: we're just being objective wrestling fans and when the products bad we're going to call it out and when it's good we're going to call that out too and this is a good show tonight it wasn't like a world-beater show but I have no issues with any of the winners that they pick now yeah you know Roman being a part-timer there's concerns there but I could have gone 50-50 and the winner the main event

05:55.621 --> 06:00.989
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, you know, again, like I would say this is why this is a podcast you should listen to because we are not tribalistic.

06:01.029 --> 06:01.991
[SPEAKER_03]: We can take step back.

06:02.391 --> 06:06.577
[SPEAKER_03]: We can compliment promotions when they deserve credit and I think they deserve credit.

06:06.698 --> 06:08.921
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, the crowd tonight was better too.

06:09.021 --> 06:16.552
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if they changed the mic set up and they miced it better, but it just the crowd came across more alive tonight than they did last night as well.

06:16.933 --> 06:19.517
[SPEAKER_03]: Definitely helped that it was a more even show certainly.

06:19.537 --> 06:21.981
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, there's still the issues with the ads and all of that.

06:22.041 --> 06:24.244
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, that's WWE these days.

06:24.224 --> 06:27.049
[SPEAKER_03]: But, you know, in the ring, it's a very good show.

06:27.850 --> 06:31.075
[SPEAKER_03]: Still some short matches, but some of these matches didn't need a lot of time tonight.

06:31.516 --> 06:33.920
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, man, I'm at a B plus.

06:34.020 --> 06:37.826
[SPEAKER_03]: It looks like our listeners on the Twitter poll I put up are pretty much right with us.

06:37.846 --> 06:42.955
[SPEAKER_03]: 40% A, 40% B, 5% C, 15% D-RF.

06:43.596 --> 06:45.659
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this, this just was not a D-RF show.

06:45.960 --> 06:47.262
[SPEAKER_03]: It was,

06:47.242 --> 07:02.184
[SPEAKER_03]: And look, I'm seeing some people on Twitter who I like their takes, who it feels like are doing the bit now where they're still trying to criticize it and that's where I would put us over some of these people because like, I just can't take any issue with that main event.

07:02.605 --> 07:14.903
[SPEAKER_03]: We've criticized, we have dragged Phil Brooks, CM Punk over the coals on this show at times, but when he has good matches, like I called out last night, loved his matches,

07:14.883 --> 07:19.009
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, has good matches, we give him credit for it, and I thought this was an awesome match.

07:19.410 --> 07:24.998
[SPEAKER_03]: I absolutely did not think that this match showed his flaws in his age in a way that I'm seeing some people talking about on Twitter.

07:25.418 --> 07:28.963
[SPEAKER_03]: The dude went up to the top rope and jumped through a table.

07:29.404 --> 07:40.620
[SPEAKER_03]: We were on the live stream on Bleacher Report when he went up there, and I was like, oh my god, I would not even try this if I was him because of his physical limitations, because of his age, because of his injury history.

07:40.938 --> 08:00.381
[SPEAKER_03]: he hit the move and then some I mean he landed like hip first on the table he absolutely hit it you know he went from the top turn buckle through the announced table I didn't think he could do it he proved me wrong so you know I I'm seeing some stuff on social media where like the people that always criticized WWE like we do a lot

08:00.361 --> 08:03.187
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to be with those people tonight.

08:03.388 --> 08:04.330
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the match.

08:04.350 --> 08:06.214
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought that was an awesome man event.

08:06.494 --> 08:08.218
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a four plus star match to me.

08:08.619 --> 08:10.463
[SPEAKER_03]: Had a very old school feel to it.

08:10.563 --> 08:11.205
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a fight.

08:11.485 --> 08:14.231
[SPEAKER_03]: These are two methodical pro wrestlers.

08:14.632 --> 08:17.398
[SPEAKER_03]: They're not going to go out there and have a 100 mile power match.

08:17.458 --> 08:18.741
[SPEAKER_03]: Nor should they.

08:18.721 --> 08:20.684
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought they played into their strengths well.

08:21.265 --> 08:23.528
[SPEAKER_03]: It felt like a knockdown, drag out fight.

08:24.269 --> 08:25.912
[SPEAKER_03]: And I like to finish.

08:25.952 --> 08:30.859
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I liked punk basically just losing all of his energy at the end and he couldn't just go anymore.

08:30.919 --> 08:36.527
[SPEAKER_03]: And then Roman, Chris Cross, the ring, and hit a big spear at the end and finish them off.

08:36.777 --> 08:38.559
[SPEAKER_03]: I have no issues with that main event.

08:38.719 --> 08:39.640
[SPEAKER_03]: I enjoyed all of it.

08:39.760 --> 08:42.422
[SPEAKER_03]: I liked the punk walking out to AFI in the back.

08:42.442 --> 08:45.525
[SPEAKER_03]: They did this video that showed his career in pictures.

08:46.085 --> 08:48.708
[SPEAKER_03]: Except for 2003 for some reason.

08:49.148 --> 08:50.610
[SPEAKER_03]: But they showed his career in pictures.

08:50.930 --> 08:52.211
[SPEAKER_03]: He's walking out to AFI.

08:52.231 --> 08:53.332
[SPEAKER_03]: He gets out in front of the crowd.

08:54.193 --> 08:55.954
[SPEAKER_03]: Then called to personality comes on.

08:56.055 --> 08:57.376
[SPEAKER_03]: It had the big match feel.

08:58.377 --> 09:00.779
[SPEAKER_03]: They had a singer out on the stage when Roman came out.

09:02.260 --> 09:03.421
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, yeah, I don't know.

09:03.441 --> 09:05.383
[SPEAKER_03]: Give me your, your takes on the main event, Jesse.

09:06.342 --> 09:21.065
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, that's what we liked about Roman in the initial stages of his 1316 day run is WWU Universal Champion was his ability to make everything feel big and very important.

09:22.186 --> 09:32.923
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and tonight was definitely no different, and despite, I mean, it's why the fact you're looking at about 10,000 less than what he was in front of last year, both these guys made

09:32.903 --> 09:41.475
[SPEAKER_01]: So now we can, I guess if you really want to put a asterisk next to it, we can actually say that Phil Brooks has made invented a Russellmania.

09:42.336 --> 09:46.962
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this one absolutely counts as, uh, yeah, main event.

09:46.982 --> 09:47.823
[SPEAKER_03]: It was the last match.

09:47.843 --> 09:49.606
[SPEAKER_03]: It was clearly the biggest match of the weekend.

09:49.686 --> 09:51.509
[SPEAKER_03]: No question about this was the marquee match.

09:52.209 --> 09:53.852
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, you know what they did with Cody and Orton.

09:54.232 --> 09:55.955
[SPEAKER_03]: That was clearly second tier to this one.

09:56.055 --> 09:57.196
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no question about it.

09:58.298 --> 09:58.438
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

09:58.722 --> 10:09.897
[SPEAKER_01]: which is the strange thing to is just the role reversals of the titles, by the way, this being as we criticize the fourth world championship.

10:10.028 --> 10:12.852
[SPEAKER_01]: We're third world title, whatever we're calling it right now.

10:12.892 --> 10:21.665
[SPEAKER_01]: And now all of a sudden, it feels more important than the other on the other side when that thing's been established for over 60 years.

10:22.667 --> 10:24.109
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it the person holding the title?

10:24.409 --> 10:25.751
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that the reason right now?

10:25.972 --> 10:36.407
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, from a professional wrestling perspective, this gave you everything you could ask for and then some from two guys who have done this.

10:36.387 --> 11:01.500
[SPEAKER_01]: multiple times on different stages like punk's been punk's been into three separate promotions and delivered four star matches his entire not what pretty close he was an entire career when when it counts dance partners with the likes of Smoa Joe and I mentioned the AW guys and back in WWE with Sina Drew McIntyre even Seth Rowland is at a couple of solid matches with two Brian Danielson

11:01.480 --> 11:12.290
[SPEAKER_01]: And now with with Roman tonight, and this could potentially cement his legacy, I feel as well inspired of the fact he took the loss and how he did it.

11:12.731 --> 11:24.242
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, in those closing five to six minutes with him, mustering up all the energy he could to get across from the top ropes and drop in that big elbow right onto the announced table.

11:24.882 --> 11:29.867
[SPEAKER_01]: Left me like, okay, he's got it.

11:29.847 --> 11:34.455
[SPEAKER_01]: the last couple of minutes, both these guys just look like they've been through a war and they will certainly have.

11:34.495 --> 11:39.223
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all you can ask for is just play this up and suspend our disbelief.

11:39.904 --> 11:50.522
[SPEAKER_01]: So when punk went for that GTS Roman hit the spear and actually in the reality, I think you'll talk about it now, punk went for that GTS and didn't have the energy to do it.

11:50.840 --> 11:52.362
[SPEAKER_01]: just just both his knees.

11:52.382 --> 11:55.626
[SPEAKER_01]: Roman bounces or bounces off the ropes hits the spear, takes a couple seconds.

11:55.907 --> 11:56.908
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, bounces off the ropes.

11:57.048 --> 11:59.492
[SPEAKER_01]: One, two hits the ropes again, spear.

12:00.353 --> 12:00.853
[SPEAKER_01]: Game over.

12:01.594 --> 12:01.855
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

12:02.255 --> 12:03.116
[SPEAKER_01]: Crowd goes home happy.

12:04.298 --> 12:04.619
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

12:04.859 --> 12:08.784
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's the interesting crowd response because they were very 50, 50.

12:08.864 --> 12:12.469
[SPEAKER_03]: It felt there were some Roman reigns like singing chance at one point.

12:12.830 --> 12:16.915
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like I do over in Europe, but they were singing the Roman reign's name, his name.

12:17.097 --> 12:19.481
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, Roman, Roman, all that.

12:20.202 --> 12:34.245
[SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, like he hits the GTS, Roman bounces off the ropes, falls on punks, shoulders when he's down and his knees, like we've seen him do many times and he goes to stand up and he can't do any collapses.

12:34.225 --> 12:35.106
[SPEAKER_03]: ran out of gas.

12:35.427 --> 12:45.882
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, there was also some really good, like submission exchanges in this match too with the anaconda vice, you know, and him like Roman lockin in the guillotine.

12:46.623 --> 12:51.169
[SPEAKER_03]: I do not have notes on the main event because I was doing a live stream, I'm bleaching report.

12:51.189 --> 12:52.631
[SPEAKER_03]: I have notes for every other match.

12:52.671 --> 12:55.595
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm trying to remember just off the top of my head.

12:55.635 --> 12:58.519
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the stuff that really stands out to me.

12:58.540 --> 13:03.827
[SPEAKER_03]: I can go off a bleach report to actually written review here and call out some

13:03.807 --> 13:04.328
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, man.

13:04.368 --> 13:07.736
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they were just exchange and hands at the beginning felt like a big fight.

13:08.117 --> 13:08.738
[SPEAKER_03]: Pump comes out.

13:08.758 --> 13:13.870
[SPEAKER_03]: We're in this jacket that had multiple different like friends of his initials that people had passed away.

13:13.890 --> 13:15.153
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a nice touch.

13:15.173 --> 13:16.516
[SPEAKER_03]: He was wearing kind of white and blue.

13:16.676 --> 13:17.538
[SPEAKER_03]: White and blue coat.

13:17.579 --> 13:18.601
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was a white and purple.

13:19.042 --> 13:20.265
[SPEAKER_03]: That was white and purple.

13:20.405 --> 13:20.626
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

13:20.926 --> 13:23.031
[SPEAKER_03]: For sure, the tights are white and purple.

13:23.180 --> 13:29.053
[SPEAKER_03]: And as I said, he comes out to AFI, walking through the backstage area, because all ROH theme.

13:30.055 --> 13:39.475
[SPEAKER_03]: And we had seen him come out to that before for the dog collar match in 2022 revolution with MJF back in the AEW days.

13:39.535 --> 13:40.918
[SPEAKER_03]: As we talked about earlier,

13:41.793 --> 13:44.277
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I mean, it was all hard hitting offense at the beginning.

13:45.018 --> 13:47.882
[SPEAKER_03]: We had a Superman punch really early for a near fall.

13:48.623 --> 13:56.995
[SPEAKER_03]: We had rains hitting punk with the steel steps at one point on the outside and then punk belated, but not much blood came.

13:57.035 --> 14:00.139
[SPEAKER_03]: And then he went down to his knees and they caught it all on camera, him just like,

14:00.119 --> 14:05.850
[SPEAKER_03]: and they head with the blade, trying to get the blood flowing and he blood a little more.

14:05.890 --> 14:10.058
[SPEAKER_03]: It still wasn't like we've seen him bleed in the past, such as the dog collar match.

14:10.238 --> 14:11.841
[SPEAKER_03]: But he got, he got some blood going there.

14:12.643 --> 14:17.352
[SPEAKER_03]: And then we had Reigns hit him with a running power bomb through the announced table.

14:17.838 --> 14:23.829
[SPEAKER_03]: Pump comes back and they get back in the rain hits the GTS for a near fall.

14:24.390 --> 14:29.279
[SPEAKER_03]: He goes for a second one, but Roman fought free, hit a spear for a near fall.

14:30.461 --> 14:35.269
[SPEAKER_03]: Rain's tried to hit punk with the GTS, but you get punk fighting out.

14:35.971 --> 14:39.036
[SPEAKER_03]: He hits a Superman punch for a two count.

14:39.016 --> 14:40.780
[SPEAKER_03]: then punk comes back.

14:40.840 --> 14:45.549
[SPEAKER_03]: He actually went to ringside and he took the ula follow the red necklace.

14:46.110 --> 14:48.275
[SPEAKER_03]: He put it on the crowd boot him for that.

14:49.096 --> 14:55.549
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of the crowd, he goes for the spear, but Roman catches him, locks in the guillotine.

14:56.451 --> 14:58.375
[SPEAKER_03]: Punk fights out of that.

14:58.557 --> 15:00.119
[SPEAKER_03]: puts on the anacond device.

15:00.861 --> 15:03.284
[SPEAKER_03]: Rains turns that back into another guillotine.

15:03.885 --> 15:05.207
[SPEAKER_03]: Punk fights free from that.

15:05.868 --> 15:08.052
[SPEAKER_03]: They're exchanging right hands and chops.

15:08.132 --> 15:16.304
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you see Punk like start taking off his tape around his hands and he throws a big ball of the tape at Rains.

15:16.665 --> 15:25.999
[SPEAKER_03]: And when the referee turned to throw the tape out of the ring, you get Punk hitting a blow blow and then a GTS, another near fall.

15:26.300 --> 15:29.885
[SPEAKER_03]: So then punk sends Roman on the announced table.

15:30.125 --> 15:33.910
[SPEAKER_03]: That's when he hit the elbow drop off the top rope to the outside.

15:33.930 --> 15:41.360
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's a big leap for a guy who we've talked about before when he comes off the top rope in the ring for the flying elbow.

15:41.681 --> 15:44.865
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't even clear the top rope, like he doesn't have a leap at all.

15:45.622 --> 15:47.688
[SPEAKER_03]: He put everything he had under this.

15:47.748 --> 15:56.593
[SPEAKER_03]: There was no way this dude was not gonna hit it, and he made the leap, and he got all the way the announced table, and they crashed through that thing, man, I gotta give him credit for that.

15:57.653 --> 16:07.726
[SPEAKER_03]: Then he tries another GTS, clap, collapses, Roman hits the spear, hits a second spear, and we get to finish.

16:08.067 --> 16:10.329
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's pretty much the highlights.

16:10.970 --> 16:12.052
[SPEAKER_03]: It was an awesome match.

16:12.192 --> 16:15.076
[SPEAKER_03]: I gotta think about the star rating, but it's definitely a four plus star.

16:15.416 --> 16:16.938
[SPEAKER_03]: Might be in the four and a half for me.

16:17.158 --> 16:19.061
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, I really, really liked it.

16:19.421 --> 16:23.847
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought this was an excellent match, and it's one I would recommend going out of your way to watch.

16:24.434 --> 16:26.797
[SPEAKER_01]: Romans family in the corner after we're due.

16:27.077 --> 16:28.759
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't realize how many children he had.

16:30.101 --> 16:30.702
[SPEAKER_01]: Same.

16:30.722 --> 16:31.683
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

16:31.703 --> 16:38.271
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, he was talking about having kids was that today to punk and he called him a beta for not having children on social media.

16:38.291 --> 16:38.532
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

16:39.032 --> 16:43.077
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, they went 33, 56 was the match time.

16:43.097 --> 16:48.484
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was the longest match of the weekend, Cody and Orton had 22, 44 last night.

16:49.510 --> 16:51.052
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, man, good main event.

16:51.133 --> 16:52.815

19:18.837 --> 19:29.978
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, kind of, on air next week is when we will finally review Red Heart versus Steve Austin, WrestleMania 13.

19:30.539 --> 19:39.276
[SPEAKER_03]: There we go, Jesse's been doing a look back at some of the best matches in history on the show this week, or this year, so that's been awesome.

[SPEAKER_03]: We'll feature in the show and talk about whatever you want us to talk about.

19:52.561 --> 20:00.232
[SPEAKER_03]: But Jesse, let's let's go back to the beginning of the show now and talk about how night two opens.

20:00.272 --> 20:02.175
[SPEAKER_03]: So John Cena comes out.

20:02.678 --> 20:07.503
[SPEAKER_03]: He says that it's historic, it's the first time that they've been on ESPN for WrestleMania.

20:07.563 --> 20:08.744
[SPEAKER_03]: Last night, they're on ESPN too.

20:09.064 --> 20:14.630
[SPEAKER_03]: So, first time we've been on ESPN and the crowd booze.

20:14.650 --> 20:16.151
[SPEAKER_03]: Boo with the reference of ESPN.

20:17.112 --> 20:22.537
[SPEAKER_03]: And they open with a bang, though, because you get Oba Femi, taken on Brock Lesnar with Paul Hayman out there.

20:22.578 --> 20:26.321
[SPEAKER_03]: And this one did not over stay as welcome.

20:26.341 --> 20:28.163
[SPEAKER_03]: They did exactly what they should have done.

20:29.054 --> 20:31.436
[SPEAKER_03]: short match, four minutes and 42 seconds.

20:31.957 --> 20:36.941
[SPEAKER_03]: They're posturing early lockups that don't go nowhere, just testing each other's strengths.

20:37.802 --> 20:41.585
[SPEAKER_03]: A strength, you see Brock pick Oba up and he throws him into the corner.

20:42.266 --> 20:46.270
[SPEAKER_03]: And Femi no sells it comes back as Brock just looked shocked.

20:46.750 --> 20:50.493
[SPEAKER_03]: He withstands some lessner close lines, sends Brock down.

20:50.553 --> 20:59.061
[SPEAKER_03]: Brock goes the outside of the ring, just looking surprise,

20:59.041 --> 21:03.527
[SPEAKER_03]: Throws fed me into the ring post on the outside and around the ring side area.

21:03.647 --> 21:24.154
[SPEAKER_03]: They get back in the ring, suplex city time, crowd starts boon, oba fights back, brought catches him with an F5, oba gets up slowly from that and grabs Brock by the neck, choke slams him, and then oba hits him with the fall from grace, the sit-out power bomb, for the pinfall in 442.

21:25.298 --> 21:26.564
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's not a great match.

21:26.584 --> 21:27.710
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not what it needed to be.

21:27.931 --> 21:30.583
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a powerhouse match with the right guy going over.

21:30.925 --> 21:34.060
[SPEAKER_03]: This place might have burned down, Jesse, if Oberfemmy didn't get the win.

21:35.660 --> 21:38.865
[SPEAKER_01]: I did something, I don't, I can't remember the last time I did this.

21:39.325 --> 21:44.653
[SPEAKER_01]: I audibly, when it was over, like, flexed, pumped my fists.

21:45.454 --> 21:46.295
[SPEAKER_01]: I was excited.

21:46.796 --> 21:47.256
[SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome.

21:47.517 --> 21:51.602
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw that in the discord too, was like, I actually felt the same way.

21:52.043 --> 21:56.209
[SPEAKER_01]: When's the last time we're listening entertainment has made you feel that way to be honest with you.

21:56.229 --> 21:58.752
[SPEAKER_01]: So you know they were making the right decision in your right.

21:59.153 --> 22:01.296
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a sub five minute match.

22:01.276 --> 22:12.146
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be interested to see your grade on that just because like how do you grade a five-minute match when everything went into play or everything went to how it should have the right guy won.

22:12.887 --> 22:20.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Brock when he wants to which we all know when he's working with somebody that he either likes or has respect for.

22:20.274 --> 22:23.477
[SPEAKER_01]: He will bump he'll he'll he'll do the right things.

22:23.517 --> 22:29.022
[SPEAKER_01]: He is a

22:29.002 --> 22:38.318
[SPEAKER_01]: you just made yourself a very large investment on who I feel is like one of the gosh, I don't know.

22:38.618 --> 22:44.328
[SPEAKER_01]: This sky is the limit for Obofemi and speaking of a streak.

22:44.348 --> 22:47.213
[SPEAKER_01]: 1559 days have now passed.

22:47.714 --> 22:49.677
[SPEAKER_01]: It is finally over.

22:49.657 --> 23:05.595
[SPEAKER_01]: an African-American man has won a singles match on a PL-L. And for those keeping scored, home it was 1,359 days since a pinfall occurred from a black man on a singles PL-L. That was longer than Roman's title ring.

23:05.615 --> 23:10.921
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's I think that's another big reason why I was audibly quite happy to see this finish.

23:10.981 --> 23:17.368
[SPEAKER_01]: And the aftermath actually left me almost more shocked than

23:18.428 --> 23:19.790
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's it's a hard one to grade.

23:19.850 --> 23:21.331
[SPEAKER_03]: I got some of the down on my notes right now.

23:21.371 --> 23:29.480
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to think it over a little bit before I release the star ratings on Patreon probably tomorrow because it is one of those things where it's like, you know, you're not, they did everything right.

23:29.500 --> 23:34.706
[SPEAKER_03]: You're not going to grade it like a four and a half star match because that's it's not really what it was it was effective.

23:34.826 --> 23:41.594
[SPEAKER_03]: I wouldn't look for like a blow away grade on this, but that you didn't need that all you needed was open to go over strong in a brief match.

23:41.654 --> 23:42.975
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't want them to have a long match.

23:42.995 --> 23:44.757
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's exactly what they did.

23:44.737 --> 23:51.005
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, and then afterwards, your Michael Colson, and Oberfemi, ladies and gentlemen, is the next big thing.

23:51.065 --> 23:59.396
[SPEAKER_03]: And Brock sits up, takes off his gloves in the ring, takes off his boots, is trying to get the tears going.

24:00.096 --> 24:05.243
[SPEAKER_03]: The crowd chance, thank you, Brock, and he and Hayman embrace in the ring.

24:05.223 --> 24:12.536
[SPEAKER_03]: Brock's waving to the crowd, you know, taking us time going out of there gets down on his knees and kisses the map before finally leaving.

24:13.017 --> 24:14.780
[SPEAKER_03]: Shakes hands with the fans on the way out.

24:15.101 --> 24:16.403
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, Lesnar chance.

24:16.944 --> 24:18.567
[SPEAKER_03]: Play it off like it's his retirement.

24:18.867 --> 24:20.430
[SPEAKER_03]: Just so you think he's actually retired?

24:22.672 --> 24:38.605
[SPEAKER_01]: No, and the only reason I don't is because there's a massive event coming here in four months, where I think that could happen, and a gunther might be able to favor, while aiming, so that could be easy to dial up, but

24:38.585 --> 24:46.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just sat there very blank and didn't know what to feel because of, I said this and unplugged when I covered his match with Eddie Guerrero.

24:46.918 --> 24:53.288
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty knowledgeable of Brock Lesnar and over the course from his college days to now.

24:54.270 --> 24:59.378
[SPEAKER_01]: And just seeing the last couple years and how they've transpired

24:59.358 --> 25:05.304
[SPEAKER_01]: My respect for him has unfortunately gone down about 10 notches, so I just sat there.

25:05.344 --> 25:07.607
[SPEAKER_01]: I was just like, how am I supposed to feel right now?

25:07.927 --> 25:22.783
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a feeling about a guy that again, I once had a tremendous amount of respect for, and who doesn't have a amount of respect for a guy who can get a part of time schedule, get paid, take a jet, go home, and not have to worry about catching a

25:22.763 --> 25:28.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he just, it's almost like he makes the most money and he does it in the easiest, most possible way.

25:29.159 --> 25:34.674
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we all wish in a sense, from a financial perspective, we could do it the way Brock Lesnar does it.

25:35.375 --> 25:36.418
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, absolutely.

25:37.546 --> 25:37.927
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

25:37.947 --> 25:39.449
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think he's retired either.

25:39.730 --> 25:49.205
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a hard time believing that they would send off Brock Lesnar without some kind of build up that it could be the end and also with manyapolis summerslam around the corner.

25:49.626 --> 25:51.629
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a hard time believing he's not going to be involved in that.

25:52.070 --> 25:54.734
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to say there's something else left.

25:55.696 --> 25:56.136
[SPEAKER_03]: But we'll see.

25:56.357 --> 25:57.038
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see what happens.

25:57.058 --> 25:58.440
[SPEAKER_03]: There's certainly unexpected tonight.

26:00.074 --> 26:15.265
[SPEAKER_03]: So after that there's a five minute commercial break as usual and they go right to the icy ladder match with Penta defending against JD Mcdonna Russev Ray Mysterio Dragon Lee and Javan Evans and guys

26:16.004 --> 26:17.267
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm burned out of ladder matches.

26:17.307 --> 26:18.810
[SPEAKER_03]: We talked about this in the classic show.

26:18.830 --> 26:23.339
[SPEAKER_03]: We did for Patreon when we reviewed Razor and Sean, the original from WrestleMania 10.

26:23.379 --> 26:25.544
[SPEAKER_03]: And how that one has stood the test of time for us.

26:25.644 --> 26:28.350
[SPEAKER_03]: And whole ladder matches are kind of played out these days.

26:29.292 --> 26:31.537
[SPEAKER_03]: Going in, you expect they're going to do some creative spots.

26:31.557 --> 26:32.879
[SPEAKER_03]: They absolutely did.

26:33.180 --> 26:34.603
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a fun match.

26:35.022 --> 26:43.037
[SPEAKER_03]: I could go years without seeing another one of these, but once you realize they're gonna do them, and you sit back to enjoy it, I mean, it was a spectacle, no question about it.

26:43.938 --> 26:52.033
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of the spots I have here, some Madonna pushes over the ladder and Evans fell really hard to the outside, but then he got right back up.

26:52.073 --> 26:55.900
[SPEAKER_03]: He comes back with a springboard clothesline to McDonald on the ladder.

26:56.116 --> 27:00.823
[SPEAKER_03]: you get Mysterio hitting a 619 through the ladder undragantly.

27:00.883 --> 27:05.310
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, the fact that Ray Mysterio can still go like this is pretty incredible.

27:05.971 --> 27:14.985
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I am 42 years old and I think the first time I saw Ray Mysterio work, that was probably 11.

27:15.893 --> 27:18.340
[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe around ninety-five years.

27:18.902 --> 27:20.768
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's wild, man.

27:20.868 --> 27:22.834
[SPEAKER_03]: And now I got kids that are watching them wrestle.

27:22.874 --> 27:25.281
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's so working a really high level.

27:25.342 --> 27:26.385
[SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy.

27:27.729 --> 27:29.093
[SPEAKER_03]: You look good in this match.

27:29.782 --> 27:34.829
[SPEAKER_03]: Dragon Lee hit a top rope drop kick on Mysterio who was hanging upside down on the ladder.

27:35.169 --> 27:38.834
[SPEAKER_03]: Rousseau, obviously he's the muscle in this match, he's tossing people around.

27:39.374 --> 27:52.491
[SPEAKER_03]: Penta and Ray hit some kicks on Rousseau, and then they went after each other, you get Ray running at Penta who then tossed him over his head on top of Rousseau on the outside, and they both go crashing through the ladder.

27:52.512 --> 27:59.080
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm saying that's a crazy move for him to take at his age.

27:59.060 --> 28:04.666
[SPEAKER_01]: 50 or 51 and here's the weird thing is I'm gonna have to ask this question.

28:04.727 --> 28:08.611
[SPEAKER_01]: What was he really injured because he was supposed to be wrestling somebody else wasn't he?

28:09.092 --> 28:10.313
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

28:10.333 --> 28:10.974
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.

28:12.075 --> 28:12.796
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a good question.

28:12.856 --> 28:13.797
[SPEAKER_01]: Unless you when he's doing this.

28:14.177 --> 28:17.201
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, that was that was a sick move.

28:17.221 --> 28:17.982
[SPEAKER_03]: I really like that.

28:18.022 --> 28:25.911
[SPEAKER_03]: Just tossed him over his head out of the outside through the through the ladder.

28:25.891 --> 28:45.469
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's see, then we get Dragon Lee and Ray on top of the ladder and Ray kicks him off and he goes for a head scissors, but he's caught and then Dragon Lee gives Ray the Styles clash.

28:45.888 --> 28:50.674
[SPEAKER_03]: Canadian Mexican destroyer off the ladder on top of another ladder.

28:51.315 --> 28:57.943
[SPEAKER_03]: Javon Evans, he's climbing up for the ladder and he hangs from the belt hook as Rousseau moves the ladder.

28:57.983 --> 29:04.951
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if he was supposed to stay up there a little longer, but he fell off right down to the mat and then Rousseau tosses him to the outside.

29:05.812 --> 29:07.714
[SPEAKER_03]: So then Rousseau's climbing up the ladder.

29:07.774 --> 29:09.877
[SPEAKER_03]: Javon comes off the top rope with a cutter.

29:09.937 --> 29:10.798
[SPEAKER_03]: This was

29:11.403 --> 29:19.453
[SPEAKER_03]: The one kind of sloppy move in the match because he didn't quite get to Rusev and you can clearly see Rusev just kind of like jump off the ladder at him to do the cutter for some reason.

29:20.654 --> 29:31.347
[SPEAKER_03]: But he drops him off the ladder and Penta gives Evan's a destroyer and Penta ends up climbing up grabbing the title retaining in 1640.

29:32.608 --> 29:33.890
[SPEAKER_03]: Good match, fun match.

29:35.031 --> 29:36.813
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't really have a problem with Penta retaining.

29:36.934 --> 29:39.857
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean the other direction obviously would have been Giovanna Evans winning.

29:39.938 --> 29:44.324
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure they'll go that direction before too long, but yeah, Penta's super over right now.

29:44.384 --> 29:45.486
[SPEAKER_03]: So what can you say?

29:46.046 --> 29:54.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, with everybody else in the ring, and I think it shows a lot that dragonly, Rusev and JD McDonough were already in the ring.

29:55.579 --> 29:55.760
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

29:56.300 --> 29:58.924
[SPEAKER_01]: When the, yeah, when they were announcing the competitors.

29:59.244 --> 30:01.948
[SPEAKER_01]: So the pretty space we told you is pretty much down to three.

30:02.449 --> 30:04.832
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you can whittle it by elimination there, raise,

30:04.812 --> 30:06.355
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, 50, 51.

30:06.535 --> 30:08.278
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't expect him to be getting a charity.

30:08.358 --> 30:09.520
[SPEAKER_01]: I see title anytime soon.

30:09.941 --> 30:16.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Javan is not quite ready yet, and I mean, he is, he's the true future of the company too.

30:16.353 --> 30:23.766
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm penned to just got this title about a month and a half, two months ago, after unsuccessfully.

30:23.746 --> 30:24.728
[SPEAKER_01]: knocking it down.

30:24.808 --> 30:26.932
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he'd lost four or five matches.

30:27.452 --> 30:28.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Finally got it.

30:28.414 --> 30:30.458
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I'd write right winner.

30:30.498 --> 30:37.250
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, what else can you expect, car crashes are always fun, but you're right if I don't see a ladder match for another year or two.

30:37.310 --> 30:39.173
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be quite happy.

30:39.457 --> 30:42.884
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's again, it's not the kind of thing I'd go back and watch again in the moment.

30:42.904 --> 30:49.297
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fun and fine, but it's not one you're never going to remember this one in a year two people are you're not going to remember anything from it.

30:49.317 --> 30:54.006
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's just one of those things where they do it all the time and it kind of loses impact it's fun in the moment though.

30:55.249 --> 30:59.457
[SPEAKER_03]: I followed that with the US title match with Sami Zain.

31:00.533 --> 31:01.915
[SPEAKER_03]: going up against trick Williams.

31:02.035 --> 31:05.799
[SPEAKER_03]: And this was another one of those like no brainer finishes, just like Opafemi.

31:05.819 --> 31:08.623
[SPEAKER_03]: Like obviously they're gonna put over trick Williams here as they did.

31:09.744 --> 31:11.906
[SPEAKER_03]: Little Yaddy comes out to introduce trick.

31:12.707 --> 31:17.333
[SPEAKER_03]: They make their way down to the ring, Sammy and Trick are exchanging offense.

31:18.034 --> 31:20.377
[SPEAKER_03]: Trick goes for the Heiney and Zane catches him.

31:20.417 --> 31:29.207
[SPEAKER_03]: He hits at the sit-out power bomb to go on offense and then you get Zane taking out little Yaddy on the outside from behind like he ran around the ring

31:29.930 --> 31:35.465
[SPEAKER_03]: uh, Sammy then dodges the trick shot and hits an explotor suplex into the corner.

31:36.167 --> 31:44.150
[SPEAKER_03]: Zangos for the Huluva kick, but trick hits the trick shot out of nowhere for the W eight minutes and 50 seconds.

31:44.511 --> 31:44.952
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

31:45.691 --> 31:47.835
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, these are match right winner.

31:47.875 --> 31:50.960
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, no real issue with it.

31:51.320 --> 32:03.160
[SPEAKER_01]: Not a great match, but a pretty good match, you know, you I guess being self-ish out of like this to go a couple more minutes right right winner though, Sammy again is also a consummate professional here and

32:03.140 --> 32:14.034
[SPEAKER_01]: interesting for a little yati to be taking those bumps like the one where Sammy just grabbed him and he threw him against the, against the, not the guard rail, but just right in the right in front of the front row.

32:15.236 --> 32:15.696
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

32:16.718 --> 32:21.464
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not something a celebrity normally takes in his $2,000 suitor.

32:21.524 --> 32:25.249
[SPEAKER_01]: What I'm using where in some fur or something like that, it was just a, yeah.

32:25.364 --> 32:37.737
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of outlandish outfit nonetheless, but yeah, trick, I mean, I'm hoping over the course of time that he doesn't turn fully into an entrance merchant because

32:38.122 --> 33:02.053
[SPEAKER_01]: over the last ever since the year started people love his entrance and ignore the fact and might not know the history with him so far and just how much he's improved ever since he stepped into NXT because he was almost a valet for Carmelo Hayes to start out and then he has an over the last handful of years gotten much better in the ring and talk a little bit too so

33:02.033 --> 33:10.374
[SPEAKER_01]: Kudos to him and congratulations for his first United States championship, it's probably one of many and he would probably see it for the world title at some point in time as well.

33:10.975 --> 33:13.481
[SPEAKER_03]: 100% yeah, speaking of celebrities.

33:14.043 --> 33:15.587
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they show people on the crowd.

33:16.509 --> 33:18.574
[SPEAKER_03]: George Kiddlestall, the show again.

33:18.554 --> 33:20.076
[SPEAKER_03]: It's chugging beers on camera.

33:20.096 --> 33:23.000
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, everybody knows George Kittle is a die-hard wrestling fan.

33:23.020 --> 33:26.686
[SPEAKER_03]: He wears the vintage wrestling shirts at almost every press conference after games and stuff.

33:27.106 --> 33:28.368
[SPEAKER_03]: I would just throw this out there again.

33:28.468 --> 33:32.153
[SPEAKER_03]: If anybody listens to this podcast, has a connection to George Kittle.

33:32.694 --> 33:34.216
[SPEAKER_03]: I would love to get that dude on the show.

33:34.336 --> 33:37.962
[SPEAKER_03]: He is an Iowa kid, just like me, has said this on the show before.

33:38.262 --> 33:43.870
[SPEAKER_03]: He went to the same high school as me for one year, not the same time, but the same high school I went to.

33:43.850 --> 33:45.975
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to get George Kittle on this show.

33:46.055 --> 33:46.797
[SPEAKER_03]: It would be a blast.

33:47.198 --> 33:49.444
[SPEAKER_03]: So by chance anyone has a connection to that man.

33:49.504 --> 33:52.471
[SPEAKER_03]: Reach out to us because that would be awesome.

33:52.872 --> 33:56.782
[SPEAKER_03]: But always enjoy seeing him just having a blast in the front row.

33:56.902 --> 33:59.549
[SPEAKER_03]: He was there with Tyre's Halle Burton side by side again.

34:00.291 --> 34:00.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

34:00.792 --> 34:10.153
[SPEAKER_01]: So there has to be a gateway from somebody in the northeastern northern part of Iowa that can get him on this show, like a link between the two of you.

34:11.396 --> 34:14.243
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, hey man, Tyre's Albert, and that's another Iowa connection.

34:14.303 --> 34:14.744
[SPEAKER_03]: I was state.

34:15.104 --> 34:15.846
[SPEAKER_03]: I was state.

34:15.866 --> 34:17.991
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's right.

34:18.393 --> 34:31.355
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, man, I don't know, back when I had the blue check when it actually used to mean something on Twitter and not everyone could get them, I sent them some tweets trying to connect cause a lot of times when you had it back then, this loves what I actually see.

34:31.796 --> 34:37.305
[SPEAKER_03]: That was one of the benefits of being in a real journalist and having that is they actually getting contact with you.

34:37.385 --> 34:39.228
[SPEAKER_03]: And I tried, but I couldn't hook up with them then.

34:39.248 --> 34:42.494
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, if there's someone out there, let's make it happen.

34:42.774 --> 34:43.776
[SPEAKER_03]: We need him on the show.

34:43.874 --> 34:45.737
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a third or a fourth round pick, is that right?

34:47.058 --> 34:49.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, sounds right.

34:49.902 --> 34:54.289
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, he just came into the league by not by storm per se.

34:54.309 --> 35:01.038
[SPEAKER_01]: It took him, I think, his second or third year when all of a sudden he just took off and became, I mean, great Titans.

35:01.379 --> 35:03.462
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Titans at the University of Iowa.

35:03.522 --> 35:07.067
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, always have Titans, but yeah, he was a fifth round pick.

35:07.087 --> 35:07.667
[SPEAKER_03]: To the round pick?

35:07.808 --> 35:09.510
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, to the round pick.

35:10.840 --> 35:13.323
[SPEAKER_01]: Gosh, such a great personality for it too.

35:13.483 --> 35:26.880
[SPEAKER_01]: So when, yeah, an un, virtually a virtual unknown draft in the fifth round and becomes one of probably the top four tight ends in the NFL and just how larger than life is personality is than you find out he's a wrestling fan.

35:27.281 --> 35:27.721
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

35:27.741 --> 35:29.884
[SPEAKER_01]: It should be really easy from the get go.

35:29.904 --> 35:37.473
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, right before we start to explode, let's get this guy on well, before he burgeon's on to become a multiple-time pro roller.

35:37.894 --> 35:38.755
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm kidding.

35:40.388 --> 35:47.916
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, so we follow that with Dominic Mysterio, taking on Finn Balor the Demon in a Street fight.

35:48.817 --> 35:53.962
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, obviously this was built up for a long time, going back to Judgment Day, they break out the Demon gimmick.

35:53.982 --> 36:04.993
[SPEAKER_03]: But the thing is, the only problem with this is it was still daylight in Las Vegas and they got like the translucent, partially translucent roof on Allegiant Stadium.

36:05.013 --> 36:08.877
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's very, they turn out the lights, but there's a lot of light coming

36:08.857 --> 36:23.994
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it was almost like when they had a WrestleMania was at 31 out in the Bay Area and like, yeah, you know, Taker comes out and gray and it's daylight, just doesn't work quite as well as if it would have been pitch dark.

36:25.075 --> 36:30.181
[SPEAKER_03]: But he does the whole demon gimmick and, you know, the big entrance and all of that.

36:33.825 --> 36:35.387
[SPEAKER_03]: And

36:35.367 --> 36:39.452
[SPEAKER_03]: Dom comes back, hits baller with the stick, then takes out some chairs.

36:39.492 --> 36:40.673
[SPEAKER_03]: He's tossing him into the ring.

36:41.154 --> 36:46.380
[SPEAKER_03]: Baller comes back, misses a kuda-gross, then I got hit with a chair for a two-count.

36:47.261 --> 36:50.625
[SPEAKER_03]: Dom and accept up a table in the ring, leaned up against the corner.

36:51.766 --> 36:53.869
[SPEAKER_03]: Finn turns the tide, hits a sling blade.

36:54.530 --> 36:56.672
[SPEAKER_03]: Finn ends up running into a super kick.

36:56.692 --> 36:59.856
[SPEAKER_03]: He hits toss through the table in the corner that was just set up.

37:00.781 --> 37:03.226
[SPEAKER_03]: Dominic hits a 619 with a chair.

37:03.787 --> 37:05.852
[SPEAKER_03]: He hits a frog splash, Finn kicks out.

37:06.493 --> 37:09.279
[SPEAKER_03]: Dom hits him in the back with the chair over and over again.

37:09.319 --> 37:10.421
[SPEAKER_03]: He sets up a table.

37:10.962 --> 37:12.285
[SPEAKER_03]: Takes him a while to do that.

37:12.345 --> 37:15.111
[SPEAKER_03]: Couldn't get the table quite set up and the crowd starts booing him.

37:15.993 --> 37:16.955
[SPEAKER_03]: Baller pops up.

37:17.596 --> 37:18.558
[SPEAKER_03]: Hits a close line.

37:18.959 --> 37:21.945
[SPEAKER_03]: Then some chair shots of his own to the back of Dom.

37:21.925 --> 37:40.424
[SPEAKER_03]: Finsets the chair around Dom's neck and sits him in the corner, hits a running drop kick, sending, sending Dom into the corner, the chair like flies off his head, and then Fins puts Dom on the table in the ring that was just set up by Dom a minute ago, and he hits the Kudograus through the table.

37:40.925 --> 37:41.606
[SPEAKER_03]: Three count.

37:42.086 --> 37:43.327
[SPEAKER_03]: They went 1258.

37:44.909 --> 37:45.790
[SPEAKER_03]: Balor goes over.

37:47.693 --> 38:11.440
[SPEAKER_01]: interesting choice considering it's the first match and you're likely going to see a couple more and when Dom's quite a bit younger than Finn, and I don't think you can resurrect the demon character per se after the whole Roman Reigns fiasco, the top rope getting cut off and then losing to

38:11.977 --> 38:12.959
[SPEAKER_01]: the mystique's gone.

38:13.620 --> 38:14.823
[SPEAKER_01]: He's lost a lot of matches.

38:14.883 --> 38:16.827
[SPEAKER_01]: We've, I've gone over that countless times.

38:16.947 --> 38:21.377
[SPEAKER_01]: So right, winner, probably, because it's not going to hurt down in the process.

38:21.457 --> 38:26.968
[SPEAKER_01]: And who knows what we're going to do with this feud, but the match was what it was.

38:27.109 --> 38:29.614
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, it was a good professional wrestling match.

38:29.898 --> 38:31.240
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Dom's not going to be hurt.

38:31.441 --> 38:33.083
[SPEAKER_03]: Frankly, he's just higher on the food chain.

38:33.103 --> 38:37.511
[SPEAKER_03]: These days, then Finn Balor is Balor's a guy who we've talked about so that's show so many times.

38:38.032 --> 38:39.875
[SPEAKER_03]: Would benefit from a new environment, I think.

38:40.356 --> 38:42.519
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, we talk about this in both directions.

38:42.560 --> 38:44.863
[SPEAKER_03]: Movement being good in professional wrestling.

38:44.883 --> 38:49.892
[SPEAKER_03]: And Jade, who we're about to talk about, we always said, would probably do better in WWE than AEW.

38:50.333 --> 38:54.640
[SPEAKER_03]: Just having more opportunities to train because you're so green in the ring.

38:54.620 --> 38:59.244
[SPEAKER_03]: and, you know, when Hobbes moved over, we, you know, yeah, it makes sense.

38:59.264 --> 39:00.525
[SPEAKER_03]: He'd want to try WWE.

39:01.506 --> 39:07.171
[SPEAKER_03]: At the same time, then he got people like Baller, Sammy Zain even, who they've been here forever.

39:07.992 --> 39:15.118
[SPEAKER_03]: Kevin Owens would be another guy that I think could really benefit creatively from a new environment with new new opponents.

39:15.399 --> 39:19.442
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, Dan was just such a bigger deal 10 years ago, and he's just another guy now.

39:19.963 --> 39:23.766
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that entrance was cool, but it not like when he did a decade ago.

39:24.218 --> 39:26.885
[SPEAKER_03]: So, I mean, he's been there a long 12 years.

39:27.287 --> 39:28.430
[SPEAKER_03]: Something like that, I think.

39:28.470 --> 39:30.315
[SPEAKER_03]: I wasn't around 2014 when he signed with NXT.

39:31.057 --> 39:35.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he was the first of the bullet club leaders to defect.

39:35.862 --> 39:40.392
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I always liked him in New Japan with a book club before that was a big Prince David fan.

39:40.612 --> 39:41.775
[SPEAKER_03]: It hasn't like ages ago.

39:41.935 --> 39:49.491
[SPEAKER_03]: I would just, I would love to see him reinvigorate his career and do something fresh and have some new opponents because he's just nothing left for him to do there.

39:50.072 --> 39:55.744
[SPEAKER_01]: The shoulder injury after he won the Universal title really put a damper

39:55.724 --> 40:01.234
[SPEAKER_01]: especially in the eyes of Vince McMahon and unfortunately has not recovered.

40:01.254 --> 40:08.506
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's recovered enough to obviously sustain a decade long career in the WWE, but you would expect much more for a guy of a stature.

40:08.526 --> 40:21.208
[SPEAKER_01]: And he could pull a tomato chopper and probably leave and become a player, like probably a high end mid-carter, and people will begin to care again about him.

40:22.960 --> 40:26.224
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he'd signed a extension now too long ago.

40:26.264 --> 40:28.746
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't think it's going to be happening anytime soon, unfortunately.

40:28.786 --> 40:33.151
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think he could have benefited from doing something new, but I'm sure he would have got a nice payday.

40:33.492 --> 40:38.637
[SPEAKER_03]: But here we are, it's going to be real hard for me to get super excited about where he's going again.

40:38.898 --> 40:45.525
[SPEAKER_03]: But the match itself was a fun match right result, as you said, I think he needed the win more than Dom here.

40:45.505 --> 40:52.196
[SPEAKER_01]: And what's with these sub six foot guys from Europe who are like 5% body fat or lower?

40:52.297 --> 40:55.622
[SPEAKER_01]: We have pack on one side and fin baller on the other.

40:55.682 --> 41:02.173
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to kind of reach out and make a phone call to the nutritionist of fin baller or if he does this on his own.

41:02.233 --> 41:05.238
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's in crazy shape.

41:05.439 --> 41:06.180
[SPEAKER_03]: Crazy shape.

41:07.207 --> 41:20.491
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, I just mentioned her Jade Cargo defending the women's championship against Rhea Ripley, easily the biggest match of her career on this kind of stage right before the match.

41:20.551 --> 41:25.079
[SPEAKER_03]: By the way, I just got a reference this Jesse, they had this guy sitting at the ringside table.

41:25.861 --> 41:31.611
[SPEAKER_03]: He said this is Adam Weitzman and he is some kind of VIP winner or some shit like that.

41:32.097 --> 41:41.930
[SPEAKER_03]: I looked him up instantly, he's got a Wikipedia page, he's a billionaire, he's like a billionaire, scrap steel guy or something like that, he didn't even say a word.

41:42.451 --> 41:53.346
[SPEAKER_03]: The whole time he was sitting there, I thought at first was some guy that want to contest with their new club WWE or something and this is going to be some new benefit of giving a bunch of money to him, which I'm sure he did.

41:53.613 --> 41:55.455
[SPEAKER_03]: He didn't even get involved in the broadcast.

41:55.475 --> 41:59.440
[SPEAKER_03]: They just show this billionaire guy sitting at the table, whatever, but he's there.

42:00.081 --> 42:01.943
[SPEAKER_01]: Good for him being undisclosed and doing that.

42:02.884 --> 42:07.069
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess he kind of really taken over if he wanted to, by paying to be on the show, but I didn't say anything.

42:07.089 --> 42:07.890
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just kind of smiled.

42:09.092 --> 42:11.495
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so anyways, they do their big entrances.

42:13.057 --> 42:16.701
[SPEAKER_03]: Big, you know, again, big WrestleMania entrances, both of them had

42:17.137 --> 42:22.588
[SPEAKER_03]: Jade's on offense early, reattakes advantage, and then Jade escaped the ring.

42:22.628 --> 42:26.776
[SPEAKER_03]: She comes back, she hits a power slam, she starts throwing Rhea around ringside.

42:27.598 --> 42:29.742
[SPEAKER_03]: Blue Thunderbomb and the ring gets a two count.

42:30.504 --> 42:32.728
[SPEAKER_03]: Rhea's laughing in her says, bring it on.

42:33.610 --> 42:37.558
[SPEAKER_03]: Ripley swings and misses as Jade locks in a crossface.

42:37.724 --> 42:39.286
[SPEAKER_03]: Reas able to fight to her feet.

42:39.927 --> 42:40.908
[SPEAKER_03]: She gets some elbows.

42:41.529 --> 42:45.735
[SPEAKER_03]: She's trying to break it, but she gets, but it's, oh, wow, that last minute.

42:45.755 --> 42:48.619
[SPEAKER_03]: Rea fights to her feet, gets some elbows, but hits a kick.

42:49.000 --> 42:50.001
[SPEAKER_03]: She takes down Jade.

42:50.722 --> 42:52.725
[SPEAKER_03]: They're rolling around on the mat, punching each other.

42:52.785 --> 42:56.030
[SPEAKER_03]: Ripley hits a running kick off the ropes.

42:56.731 --> 42:59.074
[SPEAKER_03]: She slams Jade on her face.

42:59.324 --> 43:00.366
[SPEAKER_03]: Ripley comes back.

43:00.406 --> 43:01.848
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a big spine buster.

43:02.489 --> 43:02.829
[SPEAKER_03]: Jates.

43:03.530 --> 43:09.178
[SPEAKER_03]: At this point, the match was the one kind of negative Jates still comes across someone kind of green to the industry.

43:09.218 --> 43:12.843
[SPEAKER_03]: Although this was definitely her best match as we'll talk about here in a second.

43:13.625 --> 43:17.971
[SPEAKER_03]: This point, the match she was talking on camera pretty bad and came across on the cameras.

43:18.652 --> 43:22.918
[SPEAKER_03]: She goes for Jaded Ripley rolls through for a two count.

43:22.898 --> 43:33.622
[SPEAKER_03]: Jade goes for a pop up power bomb, but Rhea reverses it into a hurricane rana, Rhea goes for a razor's edge, but then B-Fab and Michin come out.

43:34.624 --> 43:38.292
[SPEAKER_03]: So Rhea has a...

43:39.520 --> 43:41.765
[SPEAKER_03]: See, she goes into the corner, Jade moves.

43:42.247 --> 43:46.878
[SPEAKER_03]: I sent Maria into the ring post, as Mechan is then attacking her with a kick.

43:47.820 --> 43:50.787
[SPEAKER_03]: Jade hits the one-winged angel for a two-count.

43:50.927 --> 43:51.970
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't even know what she calls it.

43:51.990 --> 43:53.293
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the one-winged angel.

43:54.100 --> 43:57.103
[SPEAKER_03]: Ripley goes to the outside with Mechan and B-Fab.

43:57.144 --> 43:58.105
[SPEAKER_03]: She's going to attack.

43:58.125 --> 43:59.366
[SPEAKER_03]: She's getting attacked.

43:59.827 --> 44:02.169
[SPEAKER_03]: So then E-O sky comes out for the save.

44:03.150 --> 44:08.457
[SPEAKER_03]: She ends up hitting a springboard moon salt on the outside on both Mechan and B-Fab to take them out.

44:08.897 --> 44:10.399
[SPEAKER_03]: Jade's distracted in the ring.

44:11.080 --> 44:15.805
[SPEAKER_03]: She turns around into a headbutt from Ripley and we get

44:15.785 --> 44:19.530
[SPEAKER_03]: an attempt at the rip tie but Jade reverses that into a kick.

44:20.151 --> 44:23.616
[SPEAKER_03]: She goes for Jade, but Ripley slips underneath her legs.

44:24.337 --> 44:31.186
[SPEAKER_03]: Then hits the rip tie, rip tie, covers for the pinfall, 10 minutes and 9 seconds, new champion.

44:31.887 --> 44:33.229
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's a obvious result.

44:33.489 --> 44:37.675
[SPEAKER_03]: Reassil, probably the number one woman in this company,

44:37.790 --> 44:45.502
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and as I said, there's not a lot of competition here, but when it comes to singles matches, this is for sure the best match of Jade Cargill's career.

44:45.683 --> 44:46.865
[SPEAKER_03]: Like no question about it.

44:46.925 --> 44:51.712
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure they've been practicing it for weeks now, trying to get it all down.

44:51.953 --> 44:52.774
[SPEAKER_03]: And it came across.

44:52.854 --> 44:54.617
[SPEAKER_03]: It was an excellent match I thought.

44:55.053 --> 45:04.709
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the one that I missed, so I was happy to hear bullet point from bullet point with you, and then with the SmackDown Women's Division, they need an injection.

45:04.749 --> 45:21.837
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just been a lot of seem like tag team stuff going on over there, and they're really light on contenders at the top, so with Reo moving over there, with Bianca last night saying that she was pregnant, this is much needed for that side of things.

45:21.817 --> 45:30.827
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I'm going to have to definitely go back and watch this match so I can make my own snap judgment because, yeah, Jade Cargo is not an inring wizard by any stretch of the imagination.

45:30.847 --> 45:32.148
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to take your word for it.

45:33.449 --> 45:37.994
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I can't think of any others that were this good, you know, offhand.

45:38.354 --> 45:50.187
[SPEAKER_03]: And if I looked up her cage match history and what her top matches are, let me just look at it as far as singles matches go, I can't think of any offhand that would rival this at all.

45:51.702 --> 45:54.808
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, she's been in like some multi woman matches that were pretty good.

45:54.868 --> 46:00.037
[SPEAKER_03]: She had a decent match with Naomi at evolution last year.

46:00.098 --> 46:03.083
[SPEAKER_03]: This was better than that one though, I think.

46:05.147 --> 46:06.750
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's just a lot of tags.

46:09.315 --> 46:11.759
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this this has got to be her best match.

46:11.779 --> 46:12.821
[SPEAKER_03]: I think singles match.

46:12.861 --> 46:14.925
[SPEAKER_03]: No question about it by a good margin.

46:16.188 --> 46:23.918
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, she worked as Thunder Rose in a W and I thought that I couldn't for the life of you me tell you about that match at all.

46:24.459 --> 46:29.185
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, she she's got a match with Statlander on a rampage in 23 in September of 23.

46:29.225 --> 46:31.228
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a decent rating on Cage match.

46:31.248 --> 46:38.297
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I might have been was at her last that might have been her last appearance in a W because she was a title.

46:38.277 --> 46:40.883
[SPEAKER_03]: September 13th, so probably.

46:40.903 --> 46:44.451
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's what that line I want to tell.

46:44.471 --> 46:45.012
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's okay.

46:45.052 --> 46:45.834
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember that match.

46:45.854 --> 46:46.856
[SPEAKER_03]: It was decent match.

46:46.876 --> 46:47.577
[SPEAKER_03]: This is better though.

46:49.261 --> 46:52.969
[SPEAKER_03]: That's one of our highest matches for as a cage match rating go for a single.

46:53.049 --> 46:54.733
[SPEAKER_03]: It is her highest singles.

46:54.933 --> 46:55.313
[SPEAKER_03]: one.

46:55.814 --> 47:01.600
[SPEAKER_03]: Her match with Stratton on SmackDown and September last year has an okay rating.

47:01.900 --> 47:06.125
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm comfortable saying this is the best single match for sure.

47:06.746 --> 47:13.453
[SPEAKER_01]: There has been doing some great work on Russell Mania's the previous last handful of years you with the triple threat and the mattress Charlotte at 39.

47:13.713 --> 47:13.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

47:14.414 --> 47:17.918
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she'd come up a big match player.

47:18.078 --> 47:24.805
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, congratulations and definitely the right

47:24.785 --> 47:29.886
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully she works for another few months behind the scenes and maybe gets a rematch at SummerSlam.

47:30.368 --> 47:30.609
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

47:30.629 --> 47:32.155
[SPEAKER_01]: It could be justified in this situation.

47:32.657 --> 47:32.938
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

47:34.133 --> 47:37.439
[SPEAKER_03]: kind of a few questions in the chat we can hit here in a second.

47:38.100 --> 47:41.887
[SPEAKER_03]: If you want to make sure your question is featured hit us with a super chat function though.

47:42.007 --> 47:43.429
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say that support the stream.

47:43.950 --> 47:46.214
[SPEAKER_03]: We've been working our asses off this week.

47:46.455 --> 47:49.580
[SPEAKER_03]: If you want to make sure your question gets featured.

47:49.660 --> 47:53.928
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I've done four hours of podcast in the last 24 hours.

47:54.048 --> 47:55.230
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's

47:55.210 --> 48:05.824
[SPEAKER_03]: Support the show and we'll feature your comment here in the show in just a second, but yeah, that that's that is Jade Cargill's Top match of her career single life.

48:05.844 --> 48:17.760
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say so you've been on seven hours this week because you the three-hour classics was the one that got us Jumped that was Thursday night Yeah, so I mean that's a lot of been a few days ago and in this morning I wake up.

48:18.241 --> 48:19.362
[SPEAKER_03]: We got three kids

48:20.405 --> 48:23.850
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to bet real late last night, mix in our pod after we were done and all that.

48:23.870 --> 48:28.776
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's hard to go right to sleep after a podcast because you're just kind of like ramped up from doing a broadcast.

48:28.996 --> 48:30.618
[SPEAKER_03]: And so you know, you got to cool down a bit.

48:31.139 --> 48:32.020
[SPEAKER_03]: I woke up this morning.

48:33.202 --> 48:34.203
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, what time is it?

48:34.784 --> 48:35.585
[SPEAKER_03]: Kids are waking me up.

48:36.586 --> 48:37.968
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like 645 in the morning.

48:38.188 --> 48:38.569
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course.

48:38.929 --> 48:42.114
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, run it on low sleep as well.

48:42.634 --> 48:43.756
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't get sleep in it all.

48:44.276 --> 48:46.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, woke you up before my son woke me up.

48:46.920 --> 48:48.522
[SPEAKER_01]: I was up, I think, at,

48:49.193 --> 48:51.492
[SPEAKER_01]: No wait, I was up before you.

48:52.670 --> 48:53.231
[SPEAKER_03]: It's tough.

48:53.371 --> 48:56.815
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's tough with three kids to ever get any sleeping in.

48:56.835 --> 49:05.466
[SPEAKER_03]: But once they've been, they've been doing decent and on weekends in recent weeks, but not this weekend when I could have really used this sleep, but I absolutely cannot imagine at all.

49:05.486 --> 49:06.488
[SPEAKER_03]: We're on the home stretch, though.

49:06.628 --> 49:07.489
[SPEAKER_03]: We're on the home stretch.

49:07.529 --> 49:09.471
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're almost done for the weekend.

49:09.491 --> 49:14.057
[SPEAKER_03]: We got one little segment to talk about here, because we were talking about the main event to the question in the chat.

49:14.077 --> 49:17.982
[SPEAKER_03]: If you want to hear a thoughts on Roman hit the first 20 minutes of this podcast, click rewind.

49:18.002 --> 49:21.867
[SPEAKER_03]: We talked about it at the beginning of the show and him went in the championship.

49:21.847 --> 49:31.407
[SPEAKER_03]: We got John Cena out there, he announced the attendance 55,255, he said, like 6,000 below last year's, I think.

49:31.447 --> 49:36.257
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, still a big crowd, they touted the overall two nights, a 100,000.

49:37.400 --> 49:41.408
[SPEAKER_03]: And then, how comes the Miz and Kit Wilson who tell Cena?

49:41.675 --> 49:50.529
[SPEAKER_03]: Miss says to Sina that I'm the locker room leader now and I want my WrestleMania moment, and he says he's not going to leave the ring until he gets that.

49:51.150 --> 49:52.312
[SPEAKER_03]: And Sina's like, go ahead.

49:52.372 --> 49:53.193
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's your moment.

49:53.213 --> 50:05.472
[SPEAKER_03]: Then I'll come Danhausen surrounded by, and I'm going to use the term, Midgets, Midget, Danhausen's because Michael Cole was very clear on commentary that the little guys wanted to be called Midgets.

50:05.738 --> 50:06.078
[SPEAKER_03]: whatever.

50:06.519 --> 50:07.740
[SPEAKER_03]: So Dan housing comes out.

50:07.760 --> 50:10.102
[SPEAKER_03]: He's driving like this little miniature car thing.

50:10.923 --> 50:11.663
[SPEAKER_03]: They get in the ring.

50:11.964 --> 50:14.466
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the little guys punches kit Wilson in the nuts.

50:15.407 --> 50:16.388
[SPEAKER_03]: I do this little fight.

50:17.669 --> 50:18.710
[SPEAKER_03]: You get Dan housing.

50:19.510 --> 50:21.452
[SPEAKER_03]: Just it's a comedy segment.

50:21.472 --> 50:25.416
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he does a smoke bomb and then clearly goes and hides under the ring and seen his laugh.

50:25.436 --> 50:26.797
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, it's whatever.

50:26.877 --> 50:28.559
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a comedy break.

50:29.519 --> 50:30.560
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's nothing special.

50:30.620 --> 50:35.745
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's what you're going to get and he's going

50:35.725 --> 50:37.907
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they go they rolled right in the main event after that.

50:37.987 --> 50:44.854
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, the main event started around I think it was like 745 central time it was really early very early.

50:44.974 --> 50:46.716
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they blitz through the cards tonight.

50:46.796 --> 50:53.462
[SPEAKER_03]: It was it was over in less than four hours the wrestling time again was not super high.

50:53.603 --> 50:57.667
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, if we look at these match times, you probably spit ball at here.

50:57.727 --> 51:04.213
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so 30.

51:09.138 --> 51:11.421
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like about 80 minutes and change.

51:11.741 --> 51:13.143
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see him in the same as last night.

51:13.304 --> 51:13.764
[SPEAKER_01]: OK.

51:13.884 --> 51:17.008
[SPEAKER_01]: So like a full five minutes less, one less match as well.

51:18.530 --> 51:20.012
[SPEAKER_01]: And this ended at the start.

51:20.032 --> 51:22.416
[SPEAKER_01]: So this would have ended at eight, what time?

51:22.436 --> 51:22.996
[SPEAKER_01]: 830.

51:23.016 --> 51:27.843
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I think it was around 845.

51:27.923 --> 51:28.764
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe they went out the air.

51:28.864 --> 51:30.486
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe a little bit before that, something like that.

51:31.007 --> 51:31.307
[SPEAKER_03]: OK.

51:32.068 --> 51:34.512
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I texted you pretty much right what it ended.

51:35.012 --> 51:38.537
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, although we, although Jeremy and I did a little post show.

51:38.585 --> 51:42.390
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, you know, the opposite of last night.

51:43.191 --> 51:44.994
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I like 835, something like that.

51:45.014 --> 51:53.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because I had time to like go through a couple of matches that I missed last night and actually get up to speed with everything where tonight it was like you're going to like, oh, this is not good.

51:55.628 --> 51:56.710
[SPEAKER_01]: Not good at all.

51:56.850 --> 51:59.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, little man was having a, having a struggle.

51:59.974 --> 52:04.761
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just bit the big one for a little bit myself.

52:05.281 --> 52:07.083
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, so I had the voicemail line open.

52:07.124 --> 52:09.026
[SPEAKER_03]: We only got one, but it's from a good friend of ours.

52:09.527 --> 52:10.548
[SPEAKER_03]: Mr. Frank Petty, Annie.

52:11.229 --> 52:12.010
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to play that.

52:12.411 --> 52:13.813
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I haven't screened this at all.

52:14.474 --> 52:18.279
[SPEAKER_03]: So we will, I'm producing the show, too.

52:18.339 --> 52:19.260
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's kind of hard to do that.

52:19.280 --> 52:21.543
[SPEAKER_03]: But this is our good friend, Frank Petty, Annie.

52:21.563 --> 52:25.328
[SPEAKER_03]: He's covered wrestling for a long time, probably wrestling towards Spinnock Broadcast.

52:25.388 --> 52:28.032
[SPEAKER_03]: Many times, here are his thoughts on this show.

52:31.015 --> 52:56.314
[SPEAKER_00]: guys what's going on uh it's uh it's Frank Petty Annie um i thought overall night two was a much better show than night one i mean by leaps and bounds now they had a pretty low bar to clear because uh you know night one was was terrible as we all know but still i thought overall uh the show was much better much more watchable i mean i'd probably go back and rewatch

52:56.632 --> 52:57.914
[SPEAKER_00]: the main event.

52:58.395 --> 53:02.802
[SPEAKER_00]: And even the squash, you know, the oba semi-squash, yeah, over Brock Lesnar.

53:04.425 --> 53:07.130
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I thought that was pretty well done.

53:07.951 --> 53:17.608
[SPEAKER_00]: The point I want to make though is it's no accident that Oba beats Brock and Roman Reigns wins the world title on the same night.

53:18.329 --> 53:19.611
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's an accident.

53:19.751 --> 53:20.833
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that

53:21.269 --> 53:25.137
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they are planned for something down the line.

53:25.177 --> 53:31.329
[SPEAKER_00]: If not next year's WrestleMania, God help us with the Saudi Arabia, but that's another conversation.

53:31.349 --> 53:35.758
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's, you know, no accident.

53:35.778 --> 53:38.864
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's something we should pay attention to.

53:39.105 --> 53:40.307
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was,

53:41.114 --> 53:45.822
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, a rock that beat the Undertaker to become the guy and then Roman beat Brock.

53:46.243 --> 53:49.348
[SPEAKER_00]: And then ironically, Obo beats Brock on the same night.

53:49.448 --> 53:52.954
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that certainly bear is watching.

53:52.994 --> 53:57.081
[SPEAKER_00]: But overall, enjoy the show, but I'm standing my ground with the WWE.

53:59.272 --> 54:01.095
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, that's a huge money match.

54:01.155 --> 54:02.898
[SPEAKER_03]: They got in the future to Frank's point.

54:02.979 --> 54:03.820
[SPEAKER_03]: No question about it.

54:04.561 --> 54:06.405
[SPEAKER_03]: And it should be that hard to get there.

54:06.565 --> 54:09.129
[SPEAKER_03]: And when they get there, it should be a massive, massive match.

54:09.150 --> 54:15.942
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, they got Jacob Fattu, another guy that they could get the steam behind and heat him up again.

54:16.623 --> 54:20.149
[SPEAKER_03]: Guy, I think they've made some errors with, but I still see a lot of potential in him.

54:21.327 --> 54:40.905
[SPEAKER_01]: big time not just him like brown breakers another example i think it's going to take a little bit longer for him now and that's okay because of uh the guys that we've mentioned as well and apparently i think one of the chats even says it that roman roman and oba has spoke about one another post show oh yeah there you go

54:42.050 --> 54:42.591
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, man.

54:42.631 --> 54:46.755
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, to the point about Roman and punk too, I would just say like Frank said he would watch it again.

54:46.955 --> 54:51.160
[SPEAKER_03]: I probably will watch it again with my kids tell them it's worth watching and and check it out again.

54:51.200 --> 54:57.467
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's when I could see myself revisiting in the years ahead because you're talking about two guys that are going to be all time legends.

54:57.487 --> 55:01.051
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, punk already is Roman's going to be one of those guys to remember to me industry.

55:01.872 --> 55:07.298
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's a match that you never thought you would get, you know, if you go back.

55:07.480 --> 55:14.875
[SPEAKER_03]: like six years or more, you never in a million years would have thought you would got CM Punk and Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania.

55:15.015 --> 55:16.598
[SPEAKER_03]: It just was not even on the radar.

55:16.678 --> 55:20.246
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's one of those things where we actually got it and they delivered.

55:20.666 --> 55:21.608
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a fun match.

55:21.628 --> 55:26.719
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's something I would absolutely rewatch, no question about it, really enjoyed it.

55:26.739 --> 55:29.404
[SPEAKER_03]: So I will give them a credit on that tonight.

55:30.278 --> 55:37.875
[SPEAKER_03]: WW television like we have the question the chat about our thoughts on Cody I mean listen to the first half of the show yesterday we did

55:38.041 --> 55:41.184
[SPEAKER_03]: I have not really any interest in that title picture right now.

55:41.305 --> 56:02.648
[SPEAKER_03]: I still have no idea what they're going for on night one and that main event thought it was a total cluster that was not a good show, but this one was, and so they ended the weekend on a positive note and our friend Ryan Huffman was out at WrestleMania, and he only went to one night and I texted him, he chose the right night to go to, because if I only went to one night and I went to last night, I would have been really angry personally.

56:03.228 --> 56:06.732
[SPEAKER_03]: So him going to night two, he made the right decision, no question.

56:07.319 --> 56:16.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, goodness, so, I mean, we're all going to recoup our losses at some point in time and what we spend our money on, so.

56:17.397 --> 56:25.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, shout out so often for making that economic decision in getting the much better night.

56:25.392 --> 56:29.542
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't know what he's spent on tickets, but, um, oh, yeah, I know.

56:30.184 --> 56:32.009
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if I'll ever get to another WrestleMania.

56:32.029 --> 56:38.625
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I had fun when they were in New Orleans, and Justin and I were down there with Kyle was a blast.

56:38.842 --> 56:42.747
[SPEAKER_03]: If it was in New Orleans this year, I may have gone just because it was New Orleans.

56:43.408 --> 56:44.750
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if I would have gone to the show.

56:44.930 --> 56:46.573
[SPEAKER_03]: I would have hit up the indie shows for sure though.

56:47.294 --> 56:48.435
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd like to go again.

56:48.495 --> 56:50.558
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm obviously not going next year.

56:51.179 --> 56:53.883
[SPEAKER_03]: So, we'll see what the future holds.

56:54.323 --> 57:01.533
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, if somebody, if somebody we know goes to that, we're going to have to have some conversations about that.

57:02.134 --> 57:04.137
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't think I know anybody is going to go to that one.

57:04.458 --> 57:04.798
[SPEAKER_01]: No way.

57:05.098 --> 57:05.639
[SPEAKER_01]: No one.

57:06.440 --> 57:08.443
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the big question Ryan will be quick on this one.

57:08.423 --> 57:17.590
[SPEAKER_01]: Indies and maybe even the promotion across Jacksonville should they run something opposite WrestleMania next year.

57:17.654 --> 57:18.335
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.

57:18.575 --> 57:22.799
[SPEAKER_03]: I think New Orleans next year is a no-brainer for them.

57:23.259 --> 57:30.225
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we've, if I was them, I would have ran it this year because of how they pulled WrestleMania away from that city.

57:31.126 --> 57:38.353
[SPEAKER_03]: But next year with WWE off and Saudi Arabia, if I'm them, I'm running New Orleans.

57:38.693 --> 57:47.661
[SPEAKER_03]: For sure, New Orleans is such a destination city and everybody who's ever gone to WrestleMania

57:47.641 --> 57:50.267
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just a super fun location to travel to.

57:51.470 --> 57:52.653
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be there in a heartbeat.

57:53.034 --> 57:57.324
[SPEAKER_03]: If they have dynasty down there next year around the time of WrestleMania, I think it's a no-brainer.

57:57.404 --> 57:59.228
[SPEAKER_03]: I think TK should absolutely.

57:59.569 --> 58:01.554
[SPEAKER_03]: He should already be planning it right now.

58:01.674 --> 58:04.361
[SPEAKER_03]: And I've seen other people mentioning this on social media too.

58:04.381 --> 58:05.363
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's a no-brainer.

58:06.642 --> 58:09.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess, yeah, like, what are they going to do?

58:09.306 --> 58:14.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Because Russell Khan always runs alongside WrestleMania.

58:14.974 --> 58:25.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you had a couple of huge GCW shows this weekend with the same man's retirement match and Brody Lee's son being in the main event of one of the matches as well.

58:25.469 --> 58:28.633
[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently he did a pretty solid job.

58:29.170 --> 58:29.431
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

58:30.273 --> 58:33.721
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so some of the clips out there, people are very complimentary on Brody Junior.

58:33.741 --> 58:35.706
[SPEAKER_03]: So props to him as well.

58:35.767 --> 58:36.669
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, we'll see.

58:36.789 --> 58:39.837
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's something that they're probably heavily considering.

58:40.478 --> 58:44.749
[SPEAKER_03]: And it just makes a lot of sense from so many angles, not just for them, to capitalize on

58:45.117 --> 58:51.651
[SPEAKER_03]: the anger of WWE taking the crown jewel show, no pun intended, WrestleMania over to Saudi Arabia.

58:51.691 --> 58:58.665
[SPEAKER_03]: Do something here, have WrestleCon here, get all that attention from the Indies show that you're the fan friendly promotion.

58:59.126 --> 58:59.968
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely, man.

59:00.489 --> 59:01.050
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

59:01.756 --> 59:08.163
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so got we got some big paper views on the horizon though to break down the top protonation three weeks is backlash.

59:08.183 --> 59:16.413
[SPEAKER_03]: Then we're going to have double or nothing at the end of May Uh, which looks like you're going to have a big crowd in New York for that one I know several people going to that show.

59:17.134 --> 59:20.858
[SPEAKER_03]: So we got some fun stuff on the horizon We got summer time coming.

59:20.898 --> 59:27.105
[SPEAKER_03]: We got top-rope nation classics all the time We got T-R-N unplugged on the Patreon side from you and the in the in

59:27.085 --> 59:29.109
[SPEAKER_03]: the big match projects you're doing over there.

59:29.970 --> 59:31.073
[SPEAKER_03]: Support us on Patreon.

59:31.093 --> 59:33.557
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys, it's a number one way to keep the show going.

59:33.577 --> 59:37.244
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been a fun weekend, successful weekend for the podcast.

59:37.264 --> 59:39.088
[SPEAKER_03]: We've got out to a lot of new viewers.

59:39.128 --> 59:45.600
[SPEAKER_03]: So again, thanks to all of you for your support and for discovering our show and subscribing.

59:45.580 --> 59:46.201
[SPEAKER_03]: while you're here.

59:46.241 --> 59:47.523
[SPEAKER_03]: We appreciate all of you.

59:47.543 --> 59:49.826
[SPEAKER_03]: Jesse, go ahead.

59:49.846 --> 59:52.531
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to answer one more question that we can just go.

59:52.731 --> 59:57.879
[SPEAKER_01]: Eric Napier wanted to ask our thoughts on if we were to throw everything in a vacuum.

59:57.919 --> 01:00:00.963
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice one and two combined aggregate grade.

01:00:01.424 --> 01:00:04.669
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a really good question.

01:00:05.459 --> 01:00:06.780
[SPEAKER_03]: this is really hard.

01:00:07.141 --> 01:00:13.767
[SPEAKER_03]: So would we have to consider every single match, then if you could combine nights one and two and order them however you wanted.

01:00:13.807 --> 01:00:16.590
[SPEAKER_03]: So we would have like a 13 match show.

01:00:17.351 --> 01:00:18.972
[SPEAKER_03]: The same matches I imagine.

01:00:22.015 --> 01:00:23.917
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, night one was so bad.

01:00:23.937 --> 01:00:27.440
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we give it a D. I think there'd be a lot of downtime.

01:00:27.641 --> 01:00:32.705
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, if you combine those two cards, that would be a really long show and a lot of lackluster and ring action.

01:00:32.826 --> 01:00:35.348
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the

01:00:36.070 --> 01:00:38.652
[SPEAKER_03]: a sea would be the tip top for sure.

01:00:39.253 --> 01:00:48.721
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, if I could eliminate some of those matches and just take the cream of the crop from each night, which I mean, for night one, it'd be the Fatu McIntyre match.

01:00:48.841 --> 01:00:50.143
[SPEAKER_03]: It'd be Gunther and Rollins.

01:00:50.323 --> 01:00:52.184
[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, you'd have to have Cody and Randy.

01:00:52.285 --> 01:00:53.786
[SPEAKER_03]: I would just change the booking on that.

01:00:54.647 --> 01:00:54.827
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

01:00:55.147 --> 01:00:55.808
[SPEAKER_03]: Live up here.

01:00:55.848 --> 01:00:56.668
[SPEAKER_03]: You'd have to have that.

01:00:57.169 --> 01:01:04.035
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

01:01:05.247 --> 01:01:07.491
[SPEAKER_01]: Women's tag would make it probably not.

01:01:07.511 --> 01:01:08.753
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you got big names in there.

01:01:08.773 --> 01:01:10.696
[SPEAKER_03]: They did the surprise return of page.

01:01:11.036 --> 01:01:15.143
[SPEAKER_03]: But if I'm trying to craft a show that's really good, I don't know if it would be on there.

01:01:15.203 --> 01:01:19.189
[SPEAKER_03]: I definitely wouldn't have the six man that opened yesterday.

01:01:19.229 --> 01:01:21.052
[SPEAKER_03]: It was not a fan of that match at all.

01:01:22.174 --> 01:01:23.375
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, boy, I don't know.

01:01:23.416 --> 01:01:28.183
[SPEAKER_03]: I think if I had to consider all the matches that it would top out at a see, though.

01:01:29.058 --> 01:01:40.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I think we'd probably go see plus just because you would assume you would end with Roman and punk main eventing and you go out with an absolute bang, yeah.

01:01:41.242 --> 01:01:46.390
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and also take out the ads and Chrome was I wish, you know, that's just a reality WWE though.

01:01:46.490 --> 01:01:48.653
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be like that for the foreseeable future.

01:01:48.954 --> 01:01:51.798
[SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately, it's just the way their business model is.

01:01:52.419 --> 01:01:58.148
[SPEAKER_03]: It makes for a crappy viewing experience, there's no question about it, but it is what it is.

01:01:58.509 --> 01:01:59.310
[SPEAKER_01]: It's UFC.

01:01:59.771 --> 01:02:00.652
[SPEAKER_01]: It's basically what it is.

01:02:00.692 --> 01:02:07.182
[SPEAKER_01]: It's that TKO model where you get the match that you get 15 minutes of whatever else and you get thrown another one.

01:02:07.162 --> 01:02:09.686
[SPEAKER_03]: Jeremy and I were talking about that on the on the BR stream.

01:02:09.766 --> 01:02:16.997
[SPEAKER_03]: They had these great camera shots from the top of the ring, like looking straight down at them and like Roman and punk would be laid out.

01:02:17.037 --> 01:02:17.999
[SPEAKER_03]: You see it from above.

01:02:18.480 --> 01:02:25.070
[SPEAKER_03]: And the only thing that ruined those great shots was all the freaking ads all over the ring, the ring, the canvas.

01:02:25.971 --> 01:02:34.705
[SPEAKER_03]: And I said to him, you know, if they would have been doing this years ago, but they had ads for stuff that are cool and

01:02:35.039 --> 01:02:35.540
[SPEAKER_03]: products.

01:02:35.881 --> 01:02:43.784
[SPEAKER_03]: Like imagine you're watching a show from like 1995 and you're watching it back and they have the ads too, but it was like Surge on the mat or something.

01:02:44.225 --> 01:02:45.027
[SPEAKER_03]: It'd be like, oh, cool.

01:02:45.048 --> 01:02:48.417
[SPEAKER_03]: Or whatever house cool surge was and that era in the mid 90s.

01:02:49.340 --> 01:02:50.483
[SPEAKER_03]: That would work.

01:02:50.463 --> 01:03:05.907
[SPEAKER_03]: but it's they're getting advertised by like the general insuring insurance and re-ad and all that's like uh you watch this stuff in like 15-20 years no one's gonna be like oh yeah remember the general hell yeah man i'm the stars are for two thousand twenty six

01:03:05.887 --> 01:03:10.992
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, there's products that you could have on the ring apron they would have that long-term nostalgic feel.

01:03:11.373 --> 01:03:19.021
[SPEAKER_03]: None of this stuff will unfortunately, and it ruins the visual of some of those cool shots like that, like I said, unfortunately.

01:03:19.601 --> 01:03:25.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Completely forgot to make that point last night about Gunther in the first no-pening minutes of the match getting thrown into the general barricade.

01:03:26.028 --> 01:03:29.852
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the general barricade.

01:03:29.832 --> 01:03:33.237
[SPEAKER_03]: What did they have on the, it's like some bank or something on the turnbuckals?

01:03:33.277 --> 01:03:33.958
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't even remember.

01:03:34.478 --> 01:03:34.899
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I do.

01:03:35.019 --> 01:03:35.760
[SPEAKER_01]: It was credit one.

01:03:36.261 --> 01:03:36.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:03:36.942 --> 01:03:37.803
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Jesus.

01:03:38.164 --> 01:03:38.584
[SPEAKER_01]: Slam.

01:03:39.225 --> 01:03:39.786
[SPEAKER_01]: But Zarr.

01:03:39.846 --> 01:03:40.847
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:03:40.968 --> 01:03:44.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you have really gone tonight for a karate fighter shot in the middle there?

01:03:45.033 --> 01:03:46.656
[SPEAKER_01]: Was Roman Conquying down?

01:03:46.716 --> 01:03:48.698
[SPEAKER_03]: Super soaker.

01:03:48.819 --> 01:03:50.901
[SPEAKER_03]: Milton Bradley's karate fighters.

01:03:51.022 --> 01:03:54.186
[SPEAKER_03]: Like all that stuff they used to advertise on the commercials.

01:03:54.166 --> 01:03:55.909
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

01:03:55.929 --> 01:03:57.091
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

01:03:57.111 --> 01:03:57.692
[SPEAKER_03]: No, that stuff.

01:03:57.752 --> 01:04:00.857
[SPEAKER_03]: Those ads are not going to age well when we see this footage of yours down the line.

01:04:00.957 --> 01:04:02.379
[SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately, people are like, what is that?

01:04:04.242 --> 01:04:04.904
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, Jesse.

01:04:05.605 --> 01:04:06.186
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been fun.

01:04:06.446 --> 01:04:07.327
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been a long weekend.

01:04:07.348 --> 01:04:08.069
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to rap.

01:04:08.089 --> 01:04:11.034

01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:32.589
