WWE WrestleMania 42, Night 1 Review: That Show STUNK

WEBVTT

00:03.828 --> 00:15.563
[SPEAKER_02]: Leave me to do it, it is no pain!

00:15.583 --> 00:16.844
[SPEAKER_02]: The better it is, the better it was, and the better it will be.

00:16.864 --> 00:19.828
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know it.

00:19.848 --> 00:23.633
[SPEAKER_02]: We're back here, in my eyes.

00:23.653 --> 00:27.237
[SPEAKER_02]: The only way to cry, It not reach me.

00:33.427 --> 00:35.109
[SPEAKER_01]: What's up, everybody?

00:35.129 --> 00:43.501
[SPEAKER_01]: WrestleMania 42 night one is off the air, Ryan Drossie, Jesse Velasquez, breaking it all down for ya.

00:43.641 --> 00:47.066
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just, I don't know what I just watched.

00:47.086 --> 00:55.437
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Paul Oveck is going to have to do his post show presser from an undisclosed location because that was not a good wrestling show.

00:55.457 --> 00:56.599
[SPEAKER_01]: My friend, how you doing tonight?

00:57.322 --> 00:59.744
[SPEAKER_00]: you actually gave me a little bit of time to catch up.

00:59.764 --> 01:04.328
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually think got through four and a half of the matches and was able to see a snippet of every one.

01:05.289 --> 01:05.509
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:06.170 --> 01:06.730
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was good.

01:06.970 --> 01:07.231
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:07.931 --> 01:09.392
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I guess if you want to call it good.

01:09.793 --> 01:12.575
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that was not a very good professional wrestling show at all.

01:15.678 --> 01:18.040
[SPEAKER_01]: So many questions.

01:18.060 --> 01:26.367
[SPEAKER_01]: So the booking of WWE, I'm going to start this off by saying something that I set on the bleach report show

01:26.819 --> 01:36.629
[SPEAKER_01]: For many, many years, we would say on that show, we would say on top of hope nation, we'd compare the two promotions, because we just did a dynasty review last weekend.

01:37.209 --> 01:39.932
[SPEAKER_01]: We'd say, you know, a W, that's the work rate promotion.

01:39.952 --> 01:41.494
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you're gonna get blowaway matches.

01:41.534 --> 01:46.839
[SPEAKER_01]: They got to tighten up the storylines a little bit to make you care, but, you know, you're gonna get the good in-ring action.

01:47.059 --> 01:55.948
[SPEAKER_01]: W, W, maybe not as good in-ring action, although on pay review, they would usually bring it, but they'd always have solid stories, usually.

01:56.013 --> 02:10.690
[SPEAKER_01]: they have neither right now that story making and the story lines do not make any sense I don't I have no idea what they were going for that made of that we're going to start there They are just totally lost hunter is lost in the cloud.

02:10.710 --> 02:20.502
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what this guy is thinking I know there's probably all kinds of excuses like TKO's tying his hands and ESPN and they got to get these celebrities involved and all this shit

02:21.882 --> 02:25.867
[SPEAKER_01]: But when it comes down to it, you get to the finish of that Randy Orton Cody Rhodes match.

02:27.850 --> 02:29.131
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what they were going for.

02:30.032 --> 02:31.214
[SPEAKER_01]: This is WrestleMania.

02:31.474 --> 02:33.757
[SPEAKER_01]: It's supposed to be the climax of the year.

02:33.817 --> 02:44.351
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're going for like making people want to tune in for raw and smack down this week, there was nothing on that show that maybe wanted to and is certainly not in the main event.

02:45.192 --> 02:49.898
[SPEAKER_01]: Other than what happened to Pat Mac if you were pretty much where we were going into the show.

02:51.245 --> 02:54.453
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we can start out with our grades for the show, and then we'll dive into that.

02:54.593 --> 02:55.856
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just very confused.

02:55.876 --> 02:57.420
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no idea what they were going for.

02:58.282 --> 03:02.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me your initial take and your grade for the show, and then we'll bounce back to the main event too.

03:02.737 --> 03:04.520
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, great.

03:05.482 --> 03:06.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Should I be generous?

03:06.363 --> 03:08.808
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm somewhere between C minus D plus.

03:10.110 --> 03:10.951
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's generous.

03:11.232 --> 03:19.707
[SPEAKER_00]: I could be completely off base here, but I got through the full, yeah, I got through the full middle match, Seth Rollins Gunther, which I liked a lot.

03:20.067 --> 03:25.116
[SPEAKER_00]: The main event was extremely confusing.

03:25.096 --> 03:26.878
[SPEAKER_00]: very convoluted.

03:26.918 --> 03:32.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And from some of the rumors you've been hearing, there is rumored to be a tag match next month.

03:32.505 --> 03:33.766
[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't look like it's going to happen.

03:33.806 --> 03:40.314
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the guy who we all thought was going to win did not.

03:41.515 --> 03:48.624
[SPEAKER_00]: And then afterwards, and he's getting booed by the way in the middle of this match, you think there'd be a cool time for a double turn.

03:49.244 --> 03:50.266
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

03:50.286 --> 03:54.090
[SPEAKER_00]: No, we get a, we get a belt shot, a punt kick,

03:54.458 --> 03:56.502
[SPEAKER_00]: just zero logic behind it.

03:56.542 --> 03:57.103
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're right.

03:57.725 --> 04:02.354
[SPEAKER_00]: We're exactly where we started a month and a half ago with minimal excitement ahead.

04:02.374 --> 04:06.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, unless you're a huge brown breaker fan.

04:07.104 --> 04:08.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that's about it.

04:10.237 --> 04:16.790
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I usually say C is like an average show, B's or like they got something I go back and watch A match of the year contender.

04:17.572 --> 04:18.914
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was a bad show.

04:19.255 --> 04:20.578
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm at a D on it.

04:20.758 --> 04:22.722
[SPEAKER_01]: There's certainly nothing I would ever watch again.

04:22.762 --> 04:24.586
[SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't think it was a good show.

04:24.606 --> 04:27.672
[SPEAKER_01]: I think there's so many reasons to paint this as a bad show.

04:27.652 --> 04:34.624
[SPEAKER_01]: We've talked about a lot of this for years and it was just all amplified with all the advertisements and all the commercials.

04:34.644 --> 04:37.969
[SPEAKER_01]: They had five to six minutes commercials between every single match.

04:38.270 --> 04:40.674
[SPEAKER_01]: There were commercial breaks longer than matches on this show.

04:41.495 --> 04:46.403
[SPEAKER_01]: Then when they would even show the celebrities in the round ring side,

04:46.383 --> 04:48.086
[SPEAKER_01]: It commercials mixing with that, too.

04:48.506 --> 04:50.510
[SPEAKER_01]: With the crunch bar, whatever the hell that was.

04:50.550 --> 04:55.317
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just a bad viewing experience.

04:55.858 --> 04:57.902
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so much down time.

04:58.302 --> 05:02.569
[SPEAKER_01]: You people, if any of you that listeners podcast are buying these tickets,

05:03.629 --> 05:06.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Put that money, I am begging you, I am begging you.

05:07.213 --> 05:16.364
[SPEAKER_01]: Put that money to your children, their college funds, your future children, you don't have yet getting on a dating side and meeting a woman, whatever you need to do.

05:16.384 --> 05:22.632
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not know how anybody is buying tickets to this company right now.

05:22.932 --> 05:31.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you like watching entrances, six minutes of wrestling and then sitting around with your thumb up your ass for 20 minutes because that's what you're doing right now.

05:32.857 --> 05:36.320
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this is not a good wrestling product.

05:36.340 --> 05:39.343
[SPEAKER_01]: By any definition, it's just not.

05:40.204 --> 05:42.226
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they make more money than the other company.

05:42.547 --> 05:44.088
[SPEAKER_01]: They've been around for decades.

05:44.869 --> 05:46.330
[SPEAKER_01]: They are a brand people know.

05:47.712 --> 05:48.633
[SPEAKER_01]: So is McDonald's.

05:49.454 --> 05:53.378
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's a lot of five star restaurants that make better food than McDonald's.

05:53.398 --> 05:55.740
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not a good wrestling product.

05:56.080 --> 05:59.063
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not gonna come on that show and pretend that it is.

05:59.724 --> 06:02.847
[SPEAKER_01]: It is not, Jesse, do you disagree?

06:02.827 --> 06:09.375
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to go to the Tim Jensen analogy, which I used, I believe, on the last unplugged, you can even just stick it with you here.

06:09.815 --> 06:15.883
[SPEAKER_00]: You can go to Wendy's, you can go to In and out, you can go to Culver's, you can go to so many better burger places than McDonald's.

06:15.903 --> 06:17.465
[SPEAKER_00]: That's pure and simple.

06:17.505 --> 06:19.267
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what the WWE is right now.

06:19.667 --> 06:20.909
[SPEAKER_00]: Would you like me to give you match times?

06:22.671 --> 06:23.212
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, go ahead.

06:23.512 --> 06:23.852
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, go ahead.

06:23.872 --> 06:24.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, you're more.

06:24.573 --> 06:27.557
[SPEAKER_00]: May event was a longest, 22 minutes in 10 seconds.

06:27.697 --> 06:28.598
[SPEAKER_00]: That's,

06:28.966 --> 06:34.214
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a short main event for WWE, but I have to give him kudos for actually doing that.

06:35.076 --> 06:42.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, women's title match nine minutes on the nose, fiddle four way for the women's tag match eight minutes and 35 seconds.

06:44.010 --> 06:53.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, Gunther Rollins 15 45, on sanction match 14 10, six man tag 7 10, I think that was everything.

06:55.105 --> 06:56.046
[SPEAKER_01]: That's pitiful, man.

06:56.307 --> 06:58.450
[SPEAKER_01]: For a four hour show, this is a four hour show.

06:58.910 --> 07:01.333
[SPEAKER_01]: So that tells you how much downtime there was.

07:01.794 --> 07:07.622
[SPEAKER_01]: A four hour show that had seven matches and those are your match times.

07:07.642 --> 07:09.925
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to do some counting here on the fly.

07:09.945 --> 07:19.358
[SPEAKER_00]: 53, 62, 86 minutes an hour and 26 minutes of wrestling on a near four hour show is that,

07:20.350 --> 07:25.396
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, let me just say something because we've we brought it up to and I still think they could tighten up their shows.

07:26.697 --> 07:32.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not want to hear anybody ever complain about the length of an A W pay review that goes four hours.

07:32.504 --> 07:33.505
[SPEAKER_01]: They're usually four hours.

07:33.545 --> 07:34.586
[SPEAKER_01]: There may be a little bit more.

07:35.527 --> 07:38.390
[SPEAKER_01]: This was a four hour show with hardly any wrestling on it.

07:38.911 --> 07:40.713
[SPEAKER_01]: You watch commercials for four hours.

07:41.233 --> 07:43.416
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, this is ridiculous.

07:43.616 --> 07:50.003
[SPEAKER_01]: If you guys want to support the show, by the way, we're expecting a bigger crowd than usual, makes you subscribe super chats are open.

07:49.983 --> 07:51.488
[SPEAKER_01]: We got Matthew in the chat here.

07:51.549 --> 07:55.543
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, when's the last time, Mania had something you would go back and watch?

07:55.924 --> 07:59.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Last year, last year, I'd go back and watch that women's triple threat.

08:00.380 --> 08:02.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Thought that was an outstanding match.

08:02.926 --> 08:08.113
[SPEAKER_01]: I like to finish last year of night one with the Seth Turnn, with Roman and Pongkin and Hayman.

08:08.153 --> 08:09.475
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought I was an awesome end to it.

08:09.775 --> 08:13.180
[SPEAKER_01]: We are objective on this show again, and we'll compliment stuff when it's good.

08:13.420 --> 08:17.906
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember we came on here after night one last year, Jesse, and we were like, that was phenomenal.

08:18.126 --> 08:19.388
[SPEAKER_01]: Go back and find out in our archives.

08:19.508 --> 08:21.711
[SPEAKER_01]: That ending was pitch perfect.

08:21.843 --> 08:24.346
[SPEAKER_01]: This show absolutely sucked.

08:24.846 --> 08:26.428
[SPEAKER_01]: I put this out on Twitter.

08:26.468 --> 08:31.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember how like when we were teenagers and people would say, what are the best and worst Wrestlemania's?

08:31.895 --> 08:35.779
[SPEAKER_01]: And everyone would always say, the worst Wrestlemania was nine or 11, right?

08:35.799 --> 08:37.101
[SPEAKER_01]: That was always the candy answer.

08:37.121 --> 08:37.721
[SPEAKER_01]: You should say 11.

08:38.623 --> 08:41.366
[SPEAKER_01]: Believe 11 has like a three rating on Cage match right now.

08:43.268 --> 08:45.651
[SPEAKER_01]: I would watch Wrestlemania 11.

08:45.671 --> 08:50.196
[SPEAKER_01]: 10 times out of 10, rather than watching this show.

08:50.817 --> 08:58.380
[SPEAKER_01]: Even though it wasn't a good show either, WrestleMania 11 had a pretty good diesel Shawn Michaels match on it, right?

08:58.613 --> 09:00.636
[SPEAKER_01]: This show had nothing that good, nothing.

09:01.117 --> 09:03.300
[SPEAKER_01]: I would never go back and watch this show.

09:03.821 --> 09:05.604
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about this main event, okay?

09:05.624 --> 09:08.708
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the odds maker said Orton was gonna win the title.

09:08.869 --> 09:13.175
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't really carry their way, but I wanted to see him do something fresh with these guys.

09:13.235 --> 09:15.238
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody's trading water, the crowd's turning on him.

09:15.799 --> 09:18.463
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they wanna do a double turn, go ahead.

09:19.124 --> 09:20.547
[SPEAKER_01]: This wasn't even a double turn.

09:21.208 --> 09:24.132
[SPEAKER_01]: And also the celebrity shit is just,

09:24.196 --> 09:30.965
[SPEAKER_01]: like, okay, so at the beginning of the match, Pat McAfee comes out, he's dancing around the ring, distracting from the main event.

09:31.466 --> 09:36.172
[SPEAKER_01]: And then on our stream, Jeremy was like, oh my guy, but Jelly Roll is going to come out and make the safe.

09:36.232 --> 09:45.525
[SPEAKER_01]: And like a minute later, there's Jelly Roll rings side who drops an elbow through a table on wasn't it, McAfee, I came up with that elbow on Pat McAfee.

09:45.585 --> 09:46.166
[SPEAKER_01]: That was bad.

09:46.846 --> 09:48.769
[SPEAKER_01]: And while all this was happening,

09:49.458 --> 09:52.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Orton and Cody, we're just standing around.

09:52.504 --> 09:54.748
[SPEAKER_01]: This is your main event of WrestleMania.

09:54.828 --> 10:02.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody who works as ass-off all year long, Randy who's around sometimes, put his been around the company for a hell of a long time.

10:03.645 --> 10:10.858
[SPEAKER_01]: And they want to have Jellie Roll and Pat McAfee, be the story for the first several minutes of WrestleMania.

10:11.767 --> 10:12.167
[SPEAKER_01]: fine.

10:12.228 --> 10:13.930
[SPEAKER_01]: This is who WWE is these days.

10:14.290 --> 10:16.793
[SPEAKER_01]: Then they settle down and they have this match.

10:17.734 --> 10:19.036
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is all for memory.

10:19.156 --> 10:21.499
[SPEAKER_01]: I got notes on the other matches, but I was doing the BR string.

10:21.519 --> 10:22.961
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want this and go for memory.

10:23.221 --> 10:24.282
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we'll throw it to you in a second.

10:24.302 --> 10:24.783
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm for sure.

10:25.123 --> 10:29.689
[SPEAKER_01]: But from what I remember, Cody worked heel most of the match.

10:29.929 --> 10:39.040
[SPEAKER_01]: His mannerisms, the crowd was booing him and

10:39.374 --> 10:39.895
[SPEAKER_01]: at the end.

10:40.656 --> 10:44.941
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, the referee gets taken out by Randy Orton.

10:44.961 --> 10:48.806
[SPEAKER_01]: He gives an RKO out of nowhere to Charles Robinson.

10:50.488 --> 10:53.812
[SPEAKER_01]: So then who runs down to make a pinfall attempt for Randy Orton?

10:54.073 --> 10:55.134
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Pat McAfee.

10:55.695 --> 11:01.642
[SPEAKER_01]: Now a license referee, apparently, with a neck brace on, and he runs out.

11:02.023 --> 11:03.865
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess it was supposed to be a slow count.

11:03.905 --> 11:07.930
[SPEAKER_01]: He kind of hesitated on the third count, like a little

11:08.315 --> 11:09.857
[SPEAKER_01]: came down, it wasn't a three count.

11:10.498 --> 11:10.779
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

11:11.179 --> 11:17.629
[SPEAKER_01]: So then, ultimately, Randy out of nowhere gives an RKO to Pat McAfee.

11:18.491 --> 11:19.793
[SPEAKER_01]: See, I think, is he turning then?

11:19.933 --> 11:24.220
[SPEAKER_01]: Because Pat's been the guy who's been insulting wrestling fans and, you know, whatever.

11:24.240 --> 11:26.103
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a baby face move, right?

11:27.324 --> 11:28.907
[SPEAKER_01]: But Cody never turned in this match.

11:29.267 --> 11:30.930
[SPEAKER_01]: And Cody ends up winning.

11:31.501 --> 11:36.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Right after that, he hits crossroads, right after Randy gave the RKO to McAfee.

11:37.087 --> 11:42.454
[SPEAKER_01]: He hits crossroads, one, two, three, both guys got color in this match, by the way, and there was some blood.

11:43.455 --> 11:43.995
[SPEAKER_01]: He wins.

11:44.696 --> 11:45.958
[SPEAKER_01]: He's celebrating, I guess.

11:47.379 --> 11:53.406
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Randy comes up and he attacks Cody after or, no, yeah, what happened?

11:53.426 --> 11:55.128
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he attacks Cody, right?

11:56.029 --> 11:57.290
[SPEAKER_01]: So what?

11:58.472 --> 12:00.394
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, Cody have

12:01.049 --> 12:03.173
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's not a double turn.

12:03.454 --> 12:07.722
[SPEAKER_01]: So he attacks your good guy who just retained at WrestleMania for some reason.

12:08.224 --> 12:12.753
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he's holding the title belt and then he like tosses it across the ring.

12:14.336 --> 12:15.518
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's how they go off the air.

12:15.859 --> 12:22.332
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, if you wanted to have these guys turn, shouldn't Cody have beat the shit out of Orton after the match?

12:23.594 --> 12:25.677
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, like, that's not a turn.

12:26.018 --> 12:27.340
[SPEAKER_01]: So where are we?

12:27.460 --> 12:30.985
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't know why Randy really attacked Mac, if he unless he was pissed at his count.

12:31.606 --> 12:36.253
[SPEAKER_01]: So you think that's a baby vase move, but then it's not because he still attacks Cody.

12:37.134 --> 12:45.607
[SPEAKER_01]: And we go off the air, the deal is that Cody still wants to be champion, or Randy still wants to be champion, Cody still the champion.

12:46.328 --> 12:48.471
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're pretty much right where we were at the beginning of the show.

12:49.548 --> 12:51.611
[SPEAKER_01]: So like, I don't know, Matt, what are we doing here?

12:52.332 --> 12:52.893
[SPEAKER_01]: What is this?

12:53.594 --> 13:00.986
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the angle, what's making me want to turn in to TV to see why Randy turned out that McAfee, like I'm supposed to care?

13:01.506 --> 13:10.220
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the story, I guess, is he beat down Cody, but if you're gonna do that, just having win the title, I mean, at least something newsworthy is coming out of this show.

13:10.861 --> 13:11.722
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what we're doing.

13:12.203 --> 13:13.024
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what we're doing.

13:13.561 --> 13:16.845
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the cops just went to apprehend Hunter and arrest him for his poor blooping.

13:18.527 --> 13:19.428
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure that in the background.

13:19.829 --> 13:20.790
[SPEAKER_00]: I heard the cyber, and yeah.

13:21.150 --> 13:33.145
[SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Dame, our good, far, her good buddy, says so far, Orton and Cody, has been the answer to what if someone tried to do the Austin heart double turn, but it lasted forever, and was boring.

13:33.645 --> 13:39.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Pat McAfee was there, because you're in hell, you're in literal hell for running over that drifter when you were 17.

13:40.966 --> 13:47.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god, oh my god, you are not going to believe the tweet.

13:47.715 --> 13:51.640
[SPEAKER_01]: I just saw he's got to be drunk he has got to be drunk.

13:51.860 --> 13:52.261
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on.

13:52.441 --> 13:53.483
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to share my screen.

13:55.585 --> 13:57.268
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's I don't think it's who you think.

13:57.608 --> 13:59.110
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's not it's not it's not that guy.

13:59.150 --> 14:00.372
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he's drunk and I'm like.

14:00.392 --> 14:00.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

14:00.692 --> 14:01.994
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's not the best guy.

14:02.094 --> 14:03.095
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the best guy.

14:03.556 --> 14:04.958
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a legend of the business.

14:05.639 --> 14:06.139
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.

14:06.159 --> 14:07.141
[SPEAKER_01]: He might be in the bag though.

14:07.821 --> 14:08.222
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.

14:09.991 --> 14:17.270
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the greatest matches I've seen in the last few years congrats to Cody Rhodes, but there is no winner, loser.

14:17.430 --> 14:19.175
[SPEAKER_01]: Randy Orton, you were spectacular.

14:19.977 --> 14:22.884
[SPEAKER_01]: You both represent so well at the highest level.

14:23.065 --> 14:24.649
[SPEAKER_01]: I have so much respect for both of you.

14:25.872 --> 14:27.055
[SPEAKER_01]: Rick Flair.

14:27.862 --> 14:41.076
[SPEAKER_01]: Rick better be drunk because if you think that was one of the greatest matches you've seen in the last few years, Rick, yeah, I've been watching much wrestling because there was a least for probably five batches last weekend that were much better than this one.

14:41.156 --> 14:43.618
[SPEAKER_01]: This was a not, I mean, it was average.

14:43.678 --> 14:45.140
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't, I won't call it a bad match.

14:45.180 --> 14:47.022
[SPEAKER_01]: The finish just did make sense.

14:47.042 --> 14:48.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Before the finish, it was fine.

14:48.784 --> 14:52.227
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't like a match that you'd rate for stars or anywhere close to that.

14:52.668 --> 14:53.469
[SPEAKER_01]: At least I wouldn't.

14:53.489 --> 14:54.730
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know about you, Jesse.

14:55.908 --> 15:01.174
[SPEAKER_01]: it was fine, you know, it's not, it's not something I'd ever watch again.

15:01.354 --> 15:03.736
[SPEAKER_01]: Certainly not how Rick is portraying it here though.

15:03.756 --> 15:04.537
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say that.

15:05.518 --> 15:13.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I mean, if you look at what's going on in politics, I mean, there are people who are huge fans of like specific folks out there.

15:13.106 --> 15:16.309
[SPEAKER_00]: Legends, as you would call them, that will believe whatever they say, you know?

15:16.850 --> 15:17.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

15:17.871 --> 15:24.598
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're for sure, people will be going, wow, that was a fantastic

15:24.578 --> 15:29.646
[SPEAKER_01]: Flair 78 or something like that and Flair is sucking up.

15:29.726 --> 15:30.046
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

15:30.066 --> 15:43.026
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's obviously friends with these guys, especially Randy, but come on Rick, come on, no, what was not Cody playing homage to Hunter in the beginning was quite funny to me as well.

15:43.186 --> 15:47.953
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like you're you really are turning into triple H like 2000 and

15:47.933 --> 15:50.596
[SPEAKER_00]: for the mask thing that he came out with?

15:50.616 --> 15:59.587
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and the whole rising from underneath the, what mean he's been doing that for years, but it's almost like a spoof of what he did it, AEW double or nothing in 2019.

15:59.668 --> 16:02.111
[SPEAKER_00]: Mine is breaking the throne.

16:04.554 --> 16:05.415
[SPEAKER_01]: We could talk about that.

16:05.435 --> 16:06.796
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he comes up.

16:06.816 --> 16:11.342
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got his other wrestling outfits in like cases next to him, including star dust.

16:12.284 --> 16:14.968
[SPEAKER_01]: could we stop acting like Stardust was a good thing?

16:15.388 --> 16:16.650
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody hated Stardust.

16:16.770 --> 16:17.491
[SPEAKER_01]: It was not good.

16:17.992 --> 16:22.478
[SPEAKER_01]: If you think Stardust is memorable, you weren't watching wrestling at the time.

16:22.498 --> 16:24.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it memorable for good reasons, I should say.

16:25.141 --> 16:26.263
[SPEAKER_01]: Stardust was ass.

16:26.543 --> 16:28.346
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody liked Stardust.

16:28.366 --> 16:29.568
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody didn't like Stardust.

16:29.588 --> 16:32.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's stop trying to make Stardust a thing.

16:32.131 --> 16:32.892
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't good.

16:34.711 --> 16:35.193
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

16:35.213 --> 16:39.248
[SPEAKER_01]: The entrances just took forever, took forever.

16:39.268 --> 16:41.335
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys I'm trying to get our voice mail line set up.

16:41.375 --> 16:42.660
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd love to hear from some of you.

16:42.700 --> 16:45.109
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's when I'm I look like I'm doing something right now.

16:45.528 --> 16:47.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I'm gonna open our voice mail.

16:47.250 --> 17:08.135
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna put that on screen here in just a second, but yeah, Jesse you got any other thoughts on the main event crowd to me was unbelievably quiet Yes, yeah, oh my gosh, you hear a pin drop at times and I was actually quite surprised by the blood I that should have been for another match We could definitely we'll be talking about later.

17:08.736 --> 17:13.662
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would side of that I think there were a couple of moments that I didn't mind

17:13.642 --> 17:19.632
[SPEAKER_00]: like Orton hitting across roads for a two when you just playing possum and the crowd starts.

17:19.992 --> 17:20.754
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the other thing.

17:21.154 --> 17:23.418
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd starts chanting for Orton.

17:24.119 --> 17:27.685
[SPEAKER_00]: So at this point they're like, we want the baby face turn from Randy.

17:27.705 --> 17:28.747
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to continue.

17:28.787 --> 17:29.888
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to support this guy.

17:29.969 --> 17:31.731
[SPEAKER_00]: We would love to see him when the title tonight.

17:32.192 --> 17:33.474
[SPEAKER_00]: You could hear audible booze.

17:33.494 --> 17:38.643
[SPEAKER_00]: They weren't super loud, but just enough to know that like the crowd, this crowd was not behind Cody Rhodes whatsoever.

17:38.703 --> 17:40.105
[SPEAKER_00]: So why wouldn't you?

17:40.085 --> 17:52.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Pull the trigger and just having in macophies rig really weak cell job in the very beginning of getting rolled out on a stretcher Thumbs up in a middle finger to the crowd at the same time That was dumb.

17:53.003 --> 17:57.790
[SPEAKER_00]: You pretty much are giving a middle finger to sophisticated professional wrestling fans

17:57.770 --> 18:07.613
[SPEAKER_00]: And the one last thing that I do want to say is yes, with all that money you could spend on ringside tickets, it's all about improving your image and go to try to find a woman to take out on a date.

18:07.633 --> 18:13.146
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if these ghouls know what to do with a woman if they do get a date thrown in front of them.

18:14.830 --> 18:22.158
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh man, no, it was you said something I was going to respond to there, then that made me laugh.

18:22.178 --> 18:24.781
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, it's it's this thing.

18:24.842 --> 18:28.245
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, so where we at, you know, like Cody beat him clean.

18:28.305 --> 18:32.530
[SPEAKER_01]: He got attacked after the match, but like I don't really need to see him wrestle it.

18:32.550 --> 18:36.134
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no, there's no draw to like make you want to see another match.

18:36.215 --> 18:39.218
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure they're going to run back another match based on this went.

18:39.198 --> 18:41.525
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not getting the tag match as you mentioned with the celebrities.

18:41.585 --> 18:44.072
[SPEAKER_01]: It wouldn't really make sense based on how that went.

18:45.156 --> 18:46.299
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't I don't know man.

18:46.359 --> 18:48.425
[SPEAKER_01]: If you guys want to let us know, there's there's the address.

18:48.506 --> 18:49.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I can play some of them on the show at the end.

18:49.970 --> 18:50.973
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll give you some time to do it.

18:50.993 --> 18:51.514
[SPEAKER_01]: It's up to you.

18:51.595 --> 18:52.718
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you want to

18:52.816 --> 18:57.684
[SPEAKER_01]: Leave us a voice, Megan, you're at a speakpipe.com slash top group nation and leave us a voice, Mel.

18:57.724 --> 19:00.449
[SPEAKER_01]: Give us your, I don't know, it gives you 90 seconds or something like that.

19:01.211 --> 19:03.514
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can import the audio files when you play them on the show.

19:03.535 --> 19:06.379
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to give us your thoughts on the next one.

19:06.560 --> 19:07.722
[SPEAKER_01]: Crossroads, Ryan.

19:08.022 --> 19:08.383
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:08.844 --> 19:11.348
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, usually it takes five or six of them at WrestleMania.

19:12.458 --> 19:13.560
[SPEAKER_01]: Not this time east.

19:14.040 --> 19:17.706
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he hit two, I think Randy hit two RKOs also.

19:18.286 --> 19:18.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

19:18.547 --> 19:21.351
[SPEAKER_00]: That's quite minimal damage for a WWE main event.

19:21.972 --> 19:22.152
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:22.172 --> 19:25.958
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were stealing each other's finisher's like Cody did the Hangman DDT.

19:27.259 --> 19:28.762
[SPEAKER_01]: Randy did crossroads, right?

19:28.882 --> 19:31.125
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they did a little of that.

19:31.207 --> 19:34.072
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, like, I'll have to think about it.

19:34.092 --> 19:44.812
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to have to go back and sadly watch some of this match again before I can actually do competent star ratings for our patrons, but at first glance to me, it was like the third best match on the show.

19:44.832 --> 19:46.335
[SPEAKER_01]: And the other two were not miles better.

19:46.355 --> 19:49.921
[SPEAKER_01]: They're probably all going to be in the same neighborhood maybe that will change slightly when I rewatch it.

19:51.184 --> 19:54.109
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, just I didn't really have anything that was,

19:55.338 --> 19:57.340
[SPEAKER_01]: probably nothing above three and a half on this show.

19:57.400 --> 20:02.285
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of two star matches when I think back at it, but I mean, yeah, that's the main event.

20:02.466 --> 20:03.767
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't really know what they're going for.

20:03.787 --> 20:06.550
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if Hunter knows what they're going for.

20:06.890 --> 20:09.033
[SPEAKER_01]: I have zero faith in that guy's booking right now.

20:10.034 --> 20:11.655
[SPEAKER_01]: God speedo, but Femi tomorrow night.

20:11.856 --> 20:12.336
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

20:12.356 --> 20:14.338
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what they're doing.

20:14.719 --> 20:15.119
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.

20:15.620 --> 20:25.210
[SPEAKER_00]: If something happens tomorrow, let's just say there are three guys that

20:26.472 --> 20:29.056
[SPEAKER_00]: You know exactly which three guys I'm probably referring to.

20:29.496 --> 20:29.777
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

20:32.721 --> 20:34.284
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, tomorrow could be an interesting height.

20:35.706 --> 20:36.186
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, boy.

20:36.226 --> 20:42.295
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, ESPN unlimited still not out there for YouTube TV members.

20:42.356 --> 20:46.381
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jesse luckily, I was able to travel up to Canada.

20:47.283 --> 20:47.363
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh.

20:47.383 --> 20:50.868
[SPEAKER_01]: Watch the show on Netflix and then return here to the states to do this show with you.

20:51.429 --> 20:52.851
[SPEAKER_01]: The miracles of technology.

20:53.033 --> 20:56.660
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the Minnesota wants to become Canadian province right now.

20:57.302 --> 20:58.665
[SPEAKER_00]: We're just waiting to be adopted.

20:59.506 --> 21:01.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Ryan, I know you want to move up here too.

21:01.190 --> 21:03.154
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, yeah, I do bring us to work.

21:03.655 --> 21:09.247
[SPEAKER_01]: Love Minnesota, join Ontario or Mandatoba or something.

21:09.267 --> 21:09.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

21:10.364 --> 21:13.388
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, let's go to the start of the show here.

21:14.329 --> 21:18.815
[SPEAKER_01]: So they should lend manual Miranda who is the guy who wrote Hamilton.

21:19.636 --> 21:29.689
[SPEAKER_01]: He did the voiceover at the beginning, which I was kind of stunned by just given WWE and where they are on social issues and where Lin is.

21:29.669 --> 21:42.835
[SPEAKER_01]: number one he probably didn't care to check into that probably doesn't know number two is Asian probably just brought him a check and said do this and he did it but it's kind of kind of surprising to see him on their given WWE's ties to politics I got to say.

21:43.827 --> 21:55.463
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he did this voice over and he was talking about how one day you're going to tell your kids where you were, Jesse, for WrestleMania 42, yeah, maybe when I'm punishing them.

21:56.705 --> 22:00.290
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to make you watch WrestleMania 42 night one as punishment.

22:00.310 --> 22:00.811
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.

22:01.211 --> 22:06.419
[SPEAKER_00]: My son was eating his after dinner snack and I had my headphones on and he got to watch a match.

22:06.599 --> 22:09.823
[SPEAKER_00]: I will refer to that match when we're, uh, when we're at to it.

22:10.665 --> 22:10.965
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

22:12.127 --> 22:13.549
[SPEAKER_01]: And then John Cena comes out.

22:13.589 --> 22:16.674
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy is like morphing into 1980s Vince McMahon.

22:16.714 --> 22:19.658
[SPEAKER_01]: The way his hair looks, the way he stiles his hair, the suit.

22:19.758 --> 22:24.325
[SPEAKER_01]: He comes out to welcome us to WrestleMania in the most plastic possible promo ever.

22:24.385 --> 22:32.397
[SPEAKER_01]: And that rolled right into that opening six man with with the usos and LA night taken on the vision Logan Paul.

22:32.377 --> 22:35.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Austin theory and I show speed.

22:35.183 --> 22:39.792
[SPEAKER_01]: And as I talked about at the beginning, this match was essentially just a backdrop.

22:40.353 --> 22:44.281
[SPEAKER_01]: So I show speed after the match could hit that big frog splash.

22:44.301 --> 22:45.544
[SPEAKER_01]: But how did that happen, Jesse?

22:45.904 --> 22:47.668
[SPEAKER_01]: Because there was a turn wasn't there.

22:47.952 --> 22:49.214
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

22:49.234 --> 22:52.460
[SPEAKER_00]: I caught the, and yeah, I caught three quarters of this match.

22:52.480 --> 22:54.464
[SPEAKER_00]: It was right before we got on the show.

22:54.484 --> 22:55.526
[SPEAKER_00]: So I missed this.

22:56.848 --> 22:59.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, this was, I knew I show speed.

22:59.914 --> 23:01.236
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of a freak athlete.

23:01.737 --> 23:05.925
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen him in celebrity instances running side by side with NFL players.

23:06.686 --> 23:07.007
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

23:06.987 --> 23:07.668
[SPEAKER_00]: He can fly.

23:07.708 --> 23:08.629
[SPEAKER_00]: It's in good shape.

23:09.350 --> 23:09.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

23:09.470 --> 23:10.291
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

23:10.872 --> 23:20.485
[SPEAKER_00]: So I had a feeling he was going to do something, something I guess you could consider special for what most people would deem on no one, at least in like this world.

23:21.226 --> 23:25.251
[SPEAKER_00]: And you look good in that aspect, but he's not a professional wrestler in his teammates.

23:25.291 --> 23:30.679
[SPEAKER_00]: We're pretty much kind of stamping that validation by like saying, get in there, do this.

23:31.039 --> 23:33.923
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, tag out when he was meeting screw up, it was

23:34.679 --> 23:40.065
[SPEAKER_00]: The whole thing was ridiculous and by the way, who ate the pin on the vision side?

23:40.705 --> 23:42.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody's favorite main eventer, Austin Theory?

23:45.330 --> 23:46.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Favorite main eventer?

23:46.612 --> 23:47.613
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, oh yes.

23:50.916 --> 23:54.861
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the finishing sequence was at night, given theory, the BFT.

23:55.862 --> 24:01.648
[SPEAKER_01]: They did that, yeah, this situation where apparently eye show speeds screwed up the finish.

24:02.152 --> 24:04.635
[SPEAKER_01]: theory was holding night, told I showed it hit the ropes.

24:04.815 --> 24:09.181
[SPEAKER_01]: The night shoved theory into I show and then we had the finish.

24:09.201 --> 24:13.347
[SPEAKER_01]: So then after the match, the Usos and night win obviously.

24:13.387 --> 24:25.923
[SPEAKER_01]: And Logan Paul is screaming at I show speed that he cost him his mania moment and he hits him with a right hand and then he goes to splash off the top rope through an announced table, but the Usos come back.

24:26.063 --> 24:31.450
[SPEAKER_01]: So he so it's going to be Logan Paul doing his splash off the top

24:31.632 --> 24:37.645
[SPEAKER_01]: But the oozes come out and they give Paul the 1D, which by the way, was horrible.

24:38.547 --> 24:40.792
[SPEAKER_01]: You can go to our Twitter page at Top Rope Nation.

24:40.912 --> 24:46.344
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got a video of it retweeted down our feet, otherwise really, really bad.

24:46.745 --> 24:48.388
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it barely touched the guy.

24:48.448 --> 24:49.531
[SPEAKER_01]: It was awful.

24:50.453 --> 24:51.936
[SPEAKER_01]: But they give him the 1D.

24:52.658 --> 24:55.924
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Logan Paul gets laid out on the announced table.

24:56.064 --> 24:59.650
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they convince I show speed to go up top.

24:59.690 --> 25:00.893
[SPEAKER_01]: And he stands on the ring post.

25:00.913 --> 25:05.801
[SPEAKER_01]: And he does a frog splash off the top through Logan Paul on the ring side table.

25:05.861 --> 25:09.688
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, this was just the I show speed showcase in match number one.

25:11.030 --> 25:15.358
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess the $1,000 question, because it's definitely not worth a million.

25:15.845 --> 25:21.595
[SPEAKER_00]: Will we ever see I show speed again in 2026 in a WWE ring?

25:22.838 --> 25:24.841
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a weird feeling there is going to make us forget about it.

25:27.065 --> 25:32.255
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say yes because they're obsessed with getting celebrities involved in even streamers.

25:32.615 --> 25:33.256
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say we will.

25:33.317 --> 25:35.220
[SPEAKER_01]: Theapolis might be in Minneapolis.

25:37.107 --> 25:43.358
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so they follow that up with Jacob Fatu, a guy who if they had booked correctly would have been in a title match tonight.

25:44.220 --> 25:51.513
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead, he's wrestling undercard against Drew McIntyre guy who can hardly ever buy a win in this company in recent years.

25:51.814 --> 25:53.637
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the unsanctioned match.

25:55.000 --> 25:59.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Unsanctioned basically meant that we could hit a bunch of chair shots in the ring.

25:59.770 --> 26:04.457
[SPEAKER_01]: And one shot with a toolbox, I think just one, I don't remember.

26:05.058 --> 26:07.402
[SPEAKER_01]: But mostly these flimsy chairs that we're getting thrown around.

26:07.502 --> 26:09.685
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the unsanctioned portion.

26:10.086 --> 26:15.094
[SPEAKER_01]: Jacob Vatu did hit a pretty sweet pop-up Simone drop, which was cool on Drew McIntyre.

26:15.114 --> 26:15.755
[SPEAKER_01]: Such a big dude.

26:15.775 --> 26:16.656
[SPEAKER_01]: That was impressive.

26:17.638 --> 26:24.208
[SPEAKER_01]: McIntyre then, as a big guy, hit a centon flip dive over the top to the outside on the Jacob.

26:24.829 --> 26:26.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Impressive.

26:26.011 --> 26:31.319
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, McIntyre becomes the first guy ever to kick out of Jacob Fattu's moon salt in the ring.

26:32.460 --> 26:35.265
[SPEAKER_01]: And then after that, there's just tons of chair shots all around.

26:35.885 --> 26:41.313
[SPEAKER_01]: McIntyre knocked Fattu off the turn buckle and threw a table on the outside at one point.

26:41.794 --> 26:52.069
[SPEAKER_01]: They get back in the ring, Fattu hits Drew with a toolbox, lays him out on a table in the process, and then Jacob Fattu hits the moon salt this time through the table.

26:52.049 --> 26:55.193
[SPEAKER_01]: and covers Drew for the finish.

26:55.213 --> 26:56.775
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably around three stars on this one.

26:56.815 --> 26:58.337
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like a decent match.

26:58.978 --> 27:01.161
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing great, but a pretty decent entertaining match.

27:01.682 --> 27:05.186
[SPEAKER_01]: Like to see Jacob Fattu get more of a push moving forward for sure.

27:05.887 --> 27:07.309
[SPEAKER_00]: Watch three quarters of this match.

27:07.329 --> 27:10.553
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where I picked it up and yeah, I would concur.

27:10.613 --> 27:14.378
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we were all Jacob Fattu stands here on

27:14.358 --> 27:21.409
[SPEAKER_00]: this show and I think at the very end, yeah, it was Michael Cole said this was as violent as we expected it.

27:21.550 --> 27:23.192
[SPEAKER_00]: I wrote dot dot dot, no blood.

27:24.074 --> 27:26.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no blood at all.

27:26.417 --> 27:37.395
[SPEAKER_00]: We expected with some chair shots, a couple of belt shots, I think they took it off the referee and then, uh, or someone in our discord says, who needs blood when their sponsor tables?

27:37.780 --> 27:41.043
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, those sponsors man all over the place.

27:41.103 --> 27:54.357
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought on my the thumbnail that I made for the show on YouTube I had the idea of just plastering ads all over it from the different companies we saw everywhere like they had them on the turn buckles tonight Of course all over the canvas on the video board outside the ring.

27:54.377 --> 27:57.140
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they were everywhere I mean, that's a TKO thing.

27:57.300 --> 27:59.202
[SPEAKER_01]: It just ruins the look of these shows.

27:59.242 --> 28:04.007
[SPEAKER_01]: They looks it looks like minor league baseball You know, but yeah

28:04.679 --> 28:06.761
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, this is a decent match.

28:06.801 --> 28:13.008
[SPEAKER_01]: They follow this up with the women's tag team championship match, which was a fatal four way.

28:13.909 --> 28:31.767
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so you got Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria against the irresistible forces, Naya Jax and Lash Legend, the champions, who came out third, not last,

28:31.882 --> 28:34.745
[SPEAKER_01]: because they had a surprise for you here.

28:35.386 --> 28:39.270
[SPEAKER_01]: And that surprise was the return of Paige.

28:39.510 --> 28:41.272
[SPEAKER_01]: And this surprise had leaked out.

28:41.312 --> 28:44.776
[SPEAKER_01]: People knew it was coming unfortunately, but still the crowd popped really big for it.

28:44.836 --> 28:46.418
[SPEAKER_01]: So the Bella twins come out.

28:46.979 --> 28:49.581
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Bree and Nikki's injured.

28:50.382 --> 28:58.311
[SPEAKER_01]: She, let's see, sprained her ankle, I believe, or her ankle back on SmackDown on March 27th, and she's still dealing with that.

28:58.291 --> 29:05.420
[SPEAKER_01]: So she comes out with like a crutch, and she says she's got someone to replace her, Paige's old theme song comes out, huge pop.

29:05.560 --> 29:08.344
[SPEAKER_01]: They go down to the ring, late in the match.

29:09.485 --> 29:15.473
[SPEAKER_01]: They had this spot where Paige and Charlotte were facing off, kind of calling back to them being NXT stars over a decade ago.

29:16.194 --> 29:24.585
[SPEAKER_01]: Charlotte goes for the figure four, and she kind of like hangs up and waits for Paige's like reverse that into a

29:24.734 --> 29:53.728
[SPEAKER_01]: Not, you know, as a two count, then you get a natural selection by Charlotte and then Alexa Bliss goes up top and she's get ready to do the twisted bliss and she's waiting for some reason and she's just stand in there and she's waiting and eventually you get Charlotte is pulled out of the ring and on the outside Nikki hits her with the crutch, really hard.

29:54.029 --> 30:06.969
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you finally get bliss jumping, but you get the knees up from page, and then page hits the rampage or cradle DDT and covers for the pinfall.

30:07.450 --> 30:12.277
[SPEAKER_01]: So Brebella and page are now the women's tag team champions.

30:12.357 --> 30:14.080
[SPEAKER_01]: Crowd really liked that finish.

30:14.060 --> 30:15.922
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, it was cool to see Paige back.

30:16.402 --> 30:27.713
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess, you know, if you wanted to see back in WWE, her AEW run was pretty unremarkable, but this is obviously where she made her name and people really happy to see her.

30:28.334 --> 30:31.157
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I can't, I can't fault them too much for this one.

30:32.098 --> 30:33.999
[SPEAKER_00]: No, there were parts I liked.

30:34.079 --> 30:42.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I think one thing I did like, and I wish she was incorporated a little bit better, was they allowed all four teams to have one woman in at a time.

30:43.625 --> 30:51.734
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I actually wouldn't mind seeing that in other promotions or keep it exclusive WWE, just make sure that they're kind of intertwining and make it look really good.

30:51.754 --> 31:00.303
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked you talked about it a lot with the 1997 February paper view with the four man main event and just how good it was because they were just fully involved.

31:00.704 --> 31:02.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's let's get that going in there.

31:02.105 --> 31:08.953
[SPEAKER_00]: So I did like that, but at times they would go back to the tropes of two would be on the outside, only two women working in the ring at the same time.

31:09.113 --> 31:12.096
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, yeah, this was the one match that

31:12.076 --> 31:14.720
[SPEAKER_00]: My son watched, I had my headphones on, so he couldn't hear anything.

31:14.780 --> 31:19.727
[SPEAKER_00]: He really wasn't barking up the tree to go listen to the audio, so he wasn't too impressed with it.

31:21.169 --> 31:25.776
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm from being honest, so yeah, I thought it was cool to see page, I'm happy she's employed.

31:26.297 --> 31:26.517
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

31:26.837 --> 31:28.580
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's all you really can ask for.

31:28.600 --> 31:36.411
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about the back and forth with performers going one place to another and that it's good for business, so she'll get another leash on life.

31:36.892 --> 31:40.497
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a little, no, not wouldn't say unfortunate.

31:40.932 --> 31:46.800
[SPEAKER_00]: with Nicky and Bribella, I understand that there are larger names and people kind of recognize them.

31:46.840 --> 31:55.892
[SPEAKER_00]: I just feel that with all of like lash legend, for example, she's got a big future, I think ahead of her, Lara Velcuria does too.

31:56.412 --> 32:01.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Like why would you continue to push people in their mid 40s with championships?

32:02.821 --> 32:03.081
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

32:05.464 --> 32:07.547
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an issue.

32:08.320 --> 32:12.246
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, after the after this, they had another about five-minute commercial.

32:13.367 --> 32:17.293
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I saw half of that new Hulk Hogan Netflix documentary.

32:17.313 --> 32:21.999
[SPEAKER_01]: They kept playing clips from it during the commercial on the feed that I was watching at least for the country I visited.

32:23.021 --> 32:29.290
[SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, they come back and they're setting up AJ Lee against Becky Lynch.

32:30.131 --> 32:35.138
[SPEAKER_01]: And they had the wonder years, the band that does Becky's theme come out on the stage.

32:35.118 --> 32:37.161
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought this was super ironic, Jesse.

32:37.181 --> 32:39.625
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a good point to promote something we just did.

32:40.706 --> 32:42.469
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we were just talking about the other night.

32:42.749 --> 32:47.276
[SPEAKER_01]: On Thursday night, we reviewed for top-rotemation classics for our patrons, WrestleMania 10.

32:48.818 --> 32:51.342
[SPEAKER_01]: And click the link in the broadcast description.

32:51.362 --> 32:55.689
[SPEAKER_01]: And here that show, we went three hours with the great Kyle Ross making his return to top-rotemation.

32:56.470 --> 32:58.613
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a teaser on our main podcast for you right now.

32:59.014 --> 32:59.995
[SPEAKER_01]: But anyways,

33:00.616 --> 33:10.037
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about how legendary little Richard sang America the beautiful at the beginning of that show, but it was horrendously lip synced, famously very poorly lip synced.

33:10.859 --> 33:16.431
[SPEAKER_01]: This was just as bad, and my god, they were so behind the lyrics.

33:16.411 --> 33:24.464
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so I was talking to Jeremy about this because Jeremy actually just saw the Wonder Years in Concert a few days ago when he was in Boston at the House of Blue.

33:24.484 --> 33:25.326
[SPEAKER_01]: So he really likes him.

33:25.346 --> 33:26.408
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was an awesome show.

33:26.768 --> 33:29.312
[SPEAKER_01]: So they even did the song Becky Steam song is great.

33:29.873 --> 33:30.795
[SPEAKER_01]: They come out here at Vegas.

33:30.815 --> 33:31.796
[SPEAKER_01]: They're lip syncing.

33:31.977 --> 33:33.559
[SPEAKER_01]: It just looked terrible.

33:34.240 --> 33:35.803
[SPEAKER_01]: Becky comes to the ring.

33:36.138 --> 33:37.680
[SPEAKER_01]: AJ got a cool entrance.

33:37.740 --> 33:45.768
[SPEAKER_01]: They had all these little girls come out wearing, you know, her icy title, and then she kind of skipped down the entrance to it, you know, maybe it's because I'm a girl bad, but I like that.

33:45.869 --> 33:46.469
[SPEAKER_01]: That was cool.

33:46.569 --> 33:47.310
[SPEAKER_01]: She had a cool entrance.

33:48.431 --> 33:52.476
[SPEAKER_01]: The match just did again, didn't get any time to breathe.

33:52.536 --> 33:55.059
[SPEAKER_01]: So that last one, the tag was eight and half minutes.

33:55.899 --> 33:58.022
[SPEAKER_01]: The opener was seven, ten, as Jesse said earlier.

33:58.722 --> 34:01.065
[SPEAKER_01]: This one got eight minutes and 15 seconds.

34:02.075 --> 34:04.941
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it was basically over before it started.

34:05.502 --> 34:18.649
[SPEAKER_01]: The finishing spot was Becky had exposed the turn buckle, AJ charged in, Becky ends up pulling the referee in to knock up the referee briefly.

34:19.253 --> 34:32.850
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when the ref was kind of when she was holding her face or whatever, Becky threw AJ into that exposed turn buckle and she then gave her the man and handle slam to win the women's intercontinental championship.

34:32.870 --> 34:37.136
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, it's just, there wasn't enough here to even get emotionally invested in the match.

34:37.156 --> 34:38.417
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just way too short.

34:38.437 --> 34:42.983
[SPEAKER_01]: And when you got four hours and that's the best you can do on WrestleMania, that's real bad.

34:44.161 --> 34:51.073
[SPEAKER_00]: These are Saturday night main event wrestling match numbers from a time perspective.

34:51.293 --> 34:53.036
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot believe that at all.

34:54.138 --> 34:54.399
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

34:54.419 --> 34:57.123
[SPEAKER_00]: You give them way more time than that for sure.

34:58.766 --> 34:59.207
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

34:59.608 --> 35:00.229
[SPEAKER_00]: This is AJ.

35:00.689 --> 35:03.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Mean Becky finally getting a revenge or first win.

35:04.597 --> 35:19.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Over AJ Lee, I mentioned this on the preview show with Jacob and Cedric on unplugged that it's time to go another direction and just get a younger talon in there to take it away from Becky.

35:19.750 --> 35:23.214
[SPEAKER_00]: run with that ball because she did a pretty decent job.

35:23.234 --> 35:28.941
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt with Tiffany Stratten and NXT with Laira Volkiria and NXT and on the main roster.

35:29.562 --> 35:35.890
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's see if we can give somebody else another opportunity and I don't know if we'll see AJ for a while.

35:36.310 --> 35:37.071
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe some or something.

35:37.091 --> 35:38.693
[SPEAKER_00]: If not, you may never see your again.

35:39.635 --> 35:41.237
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

35:41.257 --> 35:44.020
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Becky is a three time intercontinental champion now.

35:45.248 --> 35:45.869
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's that.

35:46.250 --> 35:48.152
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not thinking anyone else is one at more than once.

35:48.713 --> 35:49.695
[SPEAKER_01]: No, stay.

35:49.875 --> 35:52.279
[SPEAKER_01]: AJ, Lyra, Maxine, Dupri.

35:52.659 --> 35:55.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so she's had a three times now.

35:55.804 --> 35:58.168
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, it was pretty much a nothing match.

36:00.331 --> 36:01.693
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have another five minute commercial.

36:03.596 --> 36:07.922
[SPEAKER_01]: We come back and we get Gunther and Seth Rollins.

36:09.385 --> 36:14.192
[SPEAKER_01]: And this one was, I would say,

36:14.543 --> 36:26.936
[SPEAKER_01]: probably the best match of the night, although, at kind of a screwy finish, I understand why they did it, but to me, made the match and not a great note, we'll start at the beginning, Seth comes out.

36:27.577 --> 36:29.159
[SPEAKER_01]: He's wearing black contacts.

36:30.460 --> 36:31.922
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got this outfit on the made.

36:31.962 --> 36:34.965
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Cole called it like, he looks like a game of throne's character.

36:35.926 --> 36:39.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Villain, even though he's the baby face in this match.

36:39.468 --> 36:49.731
[SPEAKER_01]: Isaac's super weird, it's the first match since Crown Jewel when he wrestled Cody six months ago going through that shoulder injury.

36:50.032 --> 36:54.678
[SPEAKER_01]: At the very beginning, Gunther takes him out, so they tease kind of a flash finish.

36:55.679 --> 36:58.243
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Gunther is working over Seth, he gets the heat early.

36:58.283 --> 37:03.650
[SPEAKER_01]: Rollins at one point reverses a delayed suplex that Gunther is going for off the top rope.

37:04.091 --> 37:07.675
[SPEAKER_01]: Hits a buckle bomb, and their exchange and close lines back and forth.

37:08.156 --> 37:08.657
[SPEAKER_01]: Chops.

37:09.297 --> 37:11.400
[SPEAKER_01]: Seth was losing his temper throughout the match.

37:11.480 --> 37:14.284
[SPEAKER_01]: Gunther hitting with a power bomb for two.

37:14.264 --> 37:17.288
[SPEAKER_01]: Gunther kicked out of the stop at one point in time.

37:17.328 --> 37:20.092
[SPEAKER_01]: He countered a stop into the sleeper.

37:20.592 --> 37:22.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Seth ends up fighting out of it.

37:22.835 --> 37:24.317
[SPEAKER_01]: It hits a couple of discous punches.

37:24.518 --> 37:25.359
[SPEAKER_01]: Goes for a third.

37:25.399 --> 37:28.323
[SPEAKER_01]: Then Gunther takes him out with a close line.

37:28.543 --> 37:29.604
[SPEAKER_01]: Gunther goes up top.

37:30.766 --> 37:36.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of visibly weighted for Rollins who ultimately jumps up there for a superplex, fouled by the falcon arrow roll through.

37:37.034 --> 37:42.381
[SPEAKER_01]: Rollins and locks in a sleeper of his own, but Gunther gets his foot on the ropes for the break.

37:42.479 --> 37:48.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Rollinsen hits a couple of back-to-back suicide dives at the outside through the ropes, goes for a third.

37:49.169 --> 38:00.006
[SPEAKER_01]: Gunther blocks it, power bombs him into the ring apron, now they get up on the announced table, and Rollins reverses a power bomb on top of the table and hits a pedigree, but the table does not break.

38:00.787 --> 38:03.491
[SPEAKER_01]: Rollinsen goes for a stop on the table to Gunther.

38:03.551 --> 38:06.816
[SPEAKER_01]: The table once again did not break.

38:07.589 --> 38:18.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of breaking, Braun Breaker then runs out and he spears rounds on the outside, tosses him into the ring, and his Seth is staring at Braun who's standing on the ramp.

38:18.664 --> 38:24.733
[SPEAKER_01]: Gunther comes up from behind, grabs Seth, locks him in the sleeper, and that's the finish.

38:25.153 --> 38:26.936
[SPEAKER_01]: Seth, you know, goes out.

38:26.976 --> 38:27.857
[SPEAKER_01]: He's out.

38:27.877 --> 38:28.618
[SPEAKER_01]: Passes out.

38:30.100 --> 38:35.788
[SPEAKER_01]: So, obviously, I know where they did the stuff with Braun, they probably didn't want to beat Seth cleanly here.

38:36.349 --> 38:47.425
[SPEAKER_01]: It's WrestleMania, this is like a TV finish to do that, but they could have had Braun attack him after the match and kind of got a similar response, although then he probably got to put Seth over.

38:48.206 --> 38:53.013
[SPEAKER_01]: So, if they wanted Seth to take the L, I understand where they did it, but the finish kind of took away from the match.

38:53.053 --> 38:55.176
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they were just starting to get going there.

38:55.436 --> 38:56.598
[SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty good.

38:56.658 --> 38:59.702
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this match got just under 16 minutes,

39:00.391 --> 39:18.906
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and then they just spot afterwards where Bron goes like all the way up, you know, this really long ramp in this football stadium, a legion stadium and he runs full blast down the ramp and spears, Seth Rollins with the lightest looking tackle, Jesse.

39:18.987 --> 39:19.808
[SPEAKER_01]: you have ever seen.

39:20.249 --> 39:23.413
[SPEAKER_01]: And talking about he runs 23 miles per hour.

39:24.073 --> 39:31.583
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jesse, if you spear someone going 23 miles per hour, what direction is that guy's body gonna go backwards?

39:32.104 --> 39:32.684
[SPEAKER_01]: Very hard.

39:34.066 --> 39:35.067
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't go backwards.

39:35.508 --> 39:41.856
[SPEAKER_01]: He basically falls in the spot that he's standing because he just barely touches him as he basically shoots his body past him.

39:42.933 --> 39:43.875
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know.

39:43.915 --> 39:51.006
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of hard to suspend believability for me, but you know, visually he's run in super fast before he hits it.

39:51.026 --> 39:52.929
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, again, it was it was a good match.

39:53.871 --> 39:58.057
[SPEAKER_01]: Finish little screwy, but to me, this was the best match of the night.

39:58.258 --> 39:59.760
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought between the ropes at least.

40:00.095 --> 40:00.515
[SPEAKER_00]: easily.

40:01.196 --> 40:04.980
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt that it was also predictable with Brownbreaker coming out there.

40:05.240 --> 40:11.306
[SPEAKER_00]: I did really, really like the Rollin' Superplex when he holds on into the Falcon Arrow.

40:12.507 --> 40:17.512
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a sweet touch, and it was a pretty good, I mean, I didn't fall for it, but I could see how some people could.

40:19.093 --> 40:22.577
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, these two are pretty good chemistry together in the ring.

40:22.597 --> 40:25.900
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, going through usually does with most folks in

40:26.065 --> 40:30.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just there's a lot of physicality with the chops like you mentioned going back and forth and such.

40:31.938 --> 40:35.964
[SPEAKER_00]: The disk is four arms, so I actually felt weren't too bad that Seth was laying in there either.

40:36.746 --> 40:36.846
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:36.866 --> 40:40.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Trying to figure if it was anything that I was just like, this doesn't make any sense.

40:40.452 --> 40:55.896
[SPEAKER_00]: And no, I think maybe Gunther could have sold the pedigree on the table a little bit longer after Bron ran out of nowhere, there's almost like hot back in there in about 40 seconds and then was able to apply on that sleeper.

40:56.117 --> 40:58.941
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's one thing I would have liked to have seen that would.

40:58.921 --> 41:03.547
[SPEAKER_00]: have been in improvement to the match, but overall, yeah, best match on night one.

41:04.368 --> 41:13.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And said, well, we'll see what happens with, uh, with Ron Brick, who I'm always interested in, since he's a guy in his late 20s, and Gunther will, we'll see with him too.

41:13.179 --> 41:22.110
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, those are those are the two guys, I think, on this night that I actually have some questions about where they're going, and I have some interest to.

41:23.052 --> 41:28.718
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, I mean, that's the reason there's so much frustration with this company is they have talent.

41:28.738 --> 41:31.101
[SPEAKER_01]: They have guys that we can be excited about.

41:31.762 --> 41:33.504
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just the booking is a mess.

41:34.064 --> 41:36.107
[SPEAKER_01]: What they're dealing with these guys has been a mess.

41:36.187 --> 41:41.933
[SPEAKER_01]: And the direction has not been great in a special animated sentence we talked about.

41:43.515 --> 41:49.802
[SPEAKER_01]: So after this one, another five minute commercial break, then we get our Hall of Fame segment,

41:51.352 --> 41:53.615
[SPEAKER_01]: No AJ Styles did not come out last, of course.

41:53.695 --> 41:55.738
[SPEAKER_01]: It was Stephanie McMahon coming out last.

41:56.779 --> 42:01.886
[SPEAKER_01]: And I got to tell you, Jesse, I had this on in my house near where my family was.

42:01.987 --> 42:03.749
[SPEAKER_01]: And my wife looked over at that point.

42:03.789 --> 42:05.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes I'll call it stuff she says, because it's funny.

42:05.992 --> 42:07.975
[SPEAKER_01]: She's not really wrestling fan, but she knows the people.

42:08.776 --> 42:14.284
[SPEAKER_01]: And just out of nowhere, right when Stephanie McMahon walks out, all of a sudden, I hear my wife from behind.

42:14.304 --> 42:17.528
[SPEAKER_01]: She goes, why is she in the Hall of Fame?

42:17.508 --> 42:20.359
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, yeah, I know exactly.

42:20.841 --> 42:21.825
[SPEAKER_01]: Our last ASMIC man.

42:22.187 --> 42:25.500
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and she's coming out last, not AJ style.

42:25.882 --> 42:27.990
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's one of those things where like,

42:28.190 --> 42:36.000
[SPEAKER_01]: When you're in that position, most people would realize that if you make yourself last, it looks bad.

42:37.341 --> 42:38.883
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, your family's in charge.

42:39.164 --> 42:41.066
[SPEAKER_01]: Put somebody else over, you know, be polite.

42:41.226 --> 42:41.827
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that kind of thing.

42:41.847 --> 42:43.109
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't put yourself before others.

42:43.769 --> 42:50.017
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know, no, Stephanie McMahon is in the main event slot for the Hall of Fame walkout.

42:50.057 --> 42:52.680
[SPEAKER_01]: She's the last person to come up, not AJ Styles.

42:53.301 --> 42:57.927
[SPEAKER_01]: Stephanie McMahon, whatever.

42:59.088 --> 43:01.074
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay.

43:01.635 --> 43:05.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you see by the way Sid's son in the comments he made?

43:06.229 --> 43:06.550
[SPEAKER_01]: I did.

43:07.633 --> 43:08.997
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it was not happy

43:09.398 --> 43:15.087
[SPEAKER_00]: No, and rightfully so, I mean, like zero advertisement and Vegas for his dad going into the Hall of Fame.

43:15.989 --> 43:21.798
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't even have any Sid merch, I mean, I've gone to WrestleMania before and I've gone to the Hall of Fame once.

43:21.918 --> 43:24.362
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's merch for everybody.

43:24.382 --> 43:26.285
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, think of the last couple of years.

43:26.886 --> 43:31.513
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they have merch for people that most people have never heard of just because they're going in the Hall of Fame.

43:31.533 --> 43:33.837
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't have any Sid merch.

43:33.817 --> 43:35.841
[SPEAKER_01]: a multi-time world champion?

43:36.222 --> 43:36.523
[SPEAKER_01]: Really?

43:36.543 --> 43:38.026
[SPEAKER_01]: That's wild, man.

43:38.086 --> 43:39.569
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be pissed to if I was his family.

43:40.451 --> 43:43.176
[SPEAKER_00]: Sid, as we all know, was not the best worker.

43:43.197 --> 43:44.459
[SPEAKER_00]: What's so ever?

43:44.499 --> 43:54.019
[SPEAKER_00]: However, I think in terms of just the ability to get up, elicit a crowd response from that generation,

43:54.117 --> 43:56.120
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably a top five guy.

43:56.140 --> 44:01.188
[SPEAKER_01]: Dude, we said it when he passed away, we did a show talking about him.

44:01.389 --> 44:08.680
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when it comes to, if you were to make a mold of what a pro wrestler should look like, he fit the perfectly.

44:09.241 --> 44:13.468
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's a guy who if he approached you in an alley at night, you would be scared shitless.

44:13.628 --> 44:17.695
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, just feel like a tank tall,

44:17.675 --> 44:22.980
[SPEAKER_01]: The face, the eyes, I mean, he had the look of a pro wrestler, like a few people I've ever had.

44:23.600 --> 44:25.702
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, how the hell do you not have any Sid merch?

44:25.742 --> 44:26.563
[SPEAKER_00]: That's ridiculous.

44:26.843 --> 44:29.285
[SPEAKER_00]: Just don't expect him to show up in the summer time.

44:29.586 --> 44:29.886
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

44:29.906 --> 44:33.349
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to go launch like four or foot bombs on a softball field.

44:33.689 --> 44:38.474
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, I've, I've told the story out here many times with for anyone who's a new listener.

44:38.494 --> 44:41.316
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, Sid was launching a podcast.

44:41.336 --> 44:43.118
[SPEAKER_01]: They contacted us about having him on her show.

44:43.578 --> 44:47.682
[SPEAKER_01]: Kyle and I got ready to interview him at a bunch of great questions lined

44:47.662 --> 44:58.752
[SPEAKER_01]: got him on Skype or whatever to record the interview couldn't do so they couldn't do the interview we had heat stroke from playing with his grandkids who we saw at the night up there on the stage.

44:59.255 --> 45:01.277
[SPEAKER_01]: And anyways, I texted him for a bit.

45:01.557 --> 45:04.940
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember mowing my backyard and my phone going off and it was sid texting me.

45:05.221 --> 45:07.483
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just say he was a funny dude.

45:07.823 --> 45:12.768
[SPEAKER_01]: I had some pretty funny text exchanges with psychosids, suggestus.

45:13.348 --> 45:14.789
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, he was a funny guy.

45:14.809 --> 45:20.174
[SPEAKER_01]: We never got on the show, talk to him on the phone a few times, trying to set up the interview, couldn't get it to work out.

45:20.215 --> 45:22.156
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he was, he was a very funny guy.

45:22.336 --> 45:23.658
[SPEAKER_01]: I will tell you that for sure.

45:23.758 --> 45:24.338
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

45:24.358 --> 45:26.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Some stuff that I can't read on the air.

45:26.947 --> 45:28.169
[SPEAKER_00]: I can imagine.

45:28.730 --> 45:39.065
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm such a mark for him that when the WWE vaults put up Sid's ECW run, which is like 35 minutes compilation tape, I smashed a smash through at the day that it arrived.

45:40.607 --> 45:42.530
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it, I love it man.

45:42.550 --> 45:47.137
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that walk out he did at Survivor Studios in New York City in 96.

45:47.157 --> 45:49.140
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one of the great entrances of all time.

45:49.120 --> 45:49.941
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's a man?

45:50.281 --> 45:50.742
[SPEAKER_01]: You're the man.

45:50.822 --> 45:51.543
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's a man?

45:51.563 --> 45:53.605
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that entrance so much.

45:54.026 --> 45:56.869
[SPEAKER_01]: You Sean's losing his shit because they're booing him so much.

45:57.209 --> 45:57.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.

45:57.810 --> 45:58.831
[SPEAKER_01]: What a match.

45:58.851 --> 45:59.592
[SPEAKER_01]: What a match.

46:00.032 --> 46:00.232
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

46:00.253 --> 46:00.593
[SPEAKER_01]: I might go.

46:00.613 --> 46:02.215
[SPEAKER_01]: I might have to go back and watch that tonight.

46:02.235 --> 46:04.437
[SPEAKER_01]: Just to cleanse my palette after this shit show.

46:05.458 --> 46:08.241
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think could I call my shot here?

46:08.322 --> 46:08.822
[SPEAKER_00]: Would you?

46:08.842 --> 46:14.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Would you mind throwing his uh his entrance theme at the end of this podcast?

46:15.040 --> 46:15.420
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll do it.

46:15.440 --> 46:17.763
[SPEAKER_01]: You want to sit just this one or you want the psychosit.

46:17.843 --> 46:19.144
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to go say one.

46:19.664 --> 46:19.885
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

46:19.925 --> 46:20.305
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll do it.

46:21.046 --> 46:21.486
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's do it.

46:21.906 --> 46:22.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man.

46:22.587 --> 46:28.092
[SPEAKER_00]: I just remember Jose Lothario like having just some issues in the ring in the crowd just does not care.

46:28.252 --> 46:30.835
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just glorified.

46:30.935 --> 46:32.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Sitted is first of you.

46:32.396 --> 46:32.957
[SPEAKER_00]: WS titles.

46:33.297 --> 46:34.318
[SPEAKER_00]: All of you back memories.

46:34.779 --> 46:36.100
[SPEAKER_01]: This is one.

46:36.140 --> 46:37.741
[SPEAKER_01]: So many of 42 is done to us.

46:38.022 --> 46:40.704
[SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about survivor series 96 right now.

46:40.944 --> 46:42.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Just totally out of nowhere.

46:42.766 --> 46:47.493
[SPEAKER_01]: Just because Sid's kid was so pissed off, and we're like, yeah, let's talk about Sid for a few minutes here.

46:48.193 --> 46:52.479
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't be able to do it on the YouTube video because we'll get flagged for copyright, but on our podcast feed.

46:53.921 --> 46:56.665
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll play us out to Psycho Sid for sure.

46:57.266 --> 46:57.626
[SPEAKER_01]: Hell yeah.

46:58.307 --> 47:04.175
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so after this, the Hall of Fame, I think this is bad.

47:04.236 --> 47:08.942
[SPEAKER_01]: Going to this new live Morgan song.

47:11.065 --> 47:18.257
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, look, the music videos, all right, but the song, real bad, really, really, really, really bad.

47:18.737 --> 47:26.610
[SPEAKER_01]: What I put on our Twitter page about this, I said, look, man, I can suspend disbelief while watching wrestling, but it stops at pretending live Morgan as a musician.

47:26.590 --> 47:32.539
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh god it was so kind of tweet us 2.2000 views by the way that one took off a little bit.

47:33.100 --> 47:47.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah it's bad she comes out now what I will say for live you know she they did the headbutt thing where her face got all bruised so she didn't wear makeup she looked kind of like hell but good on her for showing off the injuries you know brings some realism to that.

47:48.308 --> 47:52.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, Stephanie Vakir comes out, did you see this match?

47:53.095 --> 47:55.218
[SPEAKER_00]: I got through the second half of it.

47:55.278 --> 47:56.860
[SPEAKER_00]: I did see the entrance.

47:56.900 --> 47:59.284
[SPEAKER_00]: So I have a comment or two on that.

47:59.604 --> 48:00.365
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

48:00.385 --> 48:01.126
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

48:01.146 --> 48:08.697
[SPEAKER_00]: The guy that she was, whatever she was doing with to him, looked like a Kyle Riley stopped working out.

48:08.677 --> 48:17.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then live doing her best Britney Spears and I find live more going to track to this did absolutely nothing for me.

48:18.524 --> 48:20.871
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was cringe worthy.

48:20.911 --> 48:24.120
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was um.

48:25.180 --> 48:26.141
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.

48:26.162 --> 48:26.562
[SPEAKER_01]: That's bad.

48:26.843 --> 48:28.605
[SPEAKER_01]: And it did also didn't get much time.

48:28.625 --> 48:29.687
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a nine-minute match.

48:30.168 --> 48:31.850
[SPEAKER_01]: The care obviously could have gone longer here.

48:31.870 --> 48:41.085
[SPEAKER_01]: The entrances I believe were almost as long as the match had to have been because it was like live Morgan's entrance was a full on music video.

48:41.786 --> 48:43.729
[SPEAKER_01]: Dancing with chairs, all this stuff.

48:44.169 --> 48:46.854
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think that was that in the video or the entrance.

48:46.914 --> 48:48.837
[SPEAKER_01]: You did some dancing with the chairs I can't remember.

48:49.498 --> 48:50.900
[SPEAKER_00]: It was in the entrance.

48:51.300 --> 48:51.481
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

48:51.821 --> 48:52.302
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

48:54.526 --> 48:58.632
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyways, the match itself, Liv starts off strong.

48:58.692 --> 49:03.879
[SPEAKER_01]: She hits a springboard power bomb out of the corner in Zaguri to go for a frog splash.

49:04.920 --> 49:07.944
[SPEAKER_01]: The cure counters and hits her with the devil's kiss.

49:09.086 --> 49:13.632
[SPEAKER_01]: Liv herself went for the devil's kiss, but the cure countered that.

49:13.612 --> 49:37.105
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see, there was an oblivion for a near fall, then you get Roxanne Perez out there trying to distract the referee for a Raquel Rodriguez attack on Vecier, followed by the oblivion for a near fall, and then you get Vecier sentencing, sending live into Raquel on the outside, followed by a springboard to the floor.

49:37.253 --> 49:45.444
[SPEAKER_01]: Morgan then sent her into the steel steps, then a second oblivion this time for the victory.

49:45.864 --> 49:51.852
[SPEAKER_01]: So, live Morgan wins the match in the women's world championship.

49:51.872 --> 49:56.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Not that surprised that live would win the title, but yeah, the match was shorter than I thought it was going to be.

49:57.132 --> 50:06.725
[SPEAKER_00]: to Britney's point on a 210-day tidal rain, Stephanie Fakir was very underwhelming and as you mentioned four matches against Raquel Rodriguez.

50:07.626 --> 50:08.367
[SPEAKER_00]: That's three too many.

50:08.988 --> 50:09.208
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.

50:09.969 --> 50:10.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

50:10.510 --> 50:12.012
[SPEAKER_00]: Why aren't you wrestling E.O.

50:12.032 --> 50:13.975
[SPEAKER_00]: sky or an Oscar or something like that?

50:14.035 --> 50:18.060
[SPEAKER_00]: A rock Sam Perez even, she might have been injured at some point in time, but no.

50:18.445 --> 50:23.470
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they WWE season has always, you know, we're not the last couple of years.

50:23.490 --> 50:26.974
[SPEAKER_00]: They've seen a lot and live Morgan where she definitely improved.

50:27.014 --> 50:31.919
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was 2024 was a very good year for her ever since then.

50:31.979 --> 50:34.982
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, ah, I think you can do better.

50:35.662 --> 50:43.611
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm hoping this title range short and then with the whole, like Dom and it can Finn splitting, like splitting apart Finn, getting away from judgment day.

50:43.651 --> 50:46.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm wondering if they're gonna blow judgment day up as a whole soon.

50:48.145 --> 50:49.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they might.

50:50.189 --> 50:50.509
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

50:50.529 --> 50:52.833
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm stocking to get me to tune in, but they might.

50:53.234 --> 50:54.837
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it really isn't.

50:54.977 --> 50:57.081
[SPEAKER_00]: And the same thing with like Stephanie Vicarre II.

50:57.441 --> 51:03.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Do we, does she go right back for a rematch at the next show or on a raw at some point in time?

51:03.732 --> 51:04.033
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

51:04.374 --> 51:05.756
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's demanding it to me?

51:06.036 --> 51:06.497
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

51:09.463 --> 51:12.027
[SPEAKER_01]: So after this, John Cena comes out.

51:12.783 --> 51:14.747
[SPEAKER_01]: And he announces the attendance.

51:14.787 --> 51:24.585
[SPEAKER_01]: He says, you know, if it was him and it was Vegas, he would have bet the over and he announces the attendance in a very celebratory fashion, and it's a lower number than they announced last year.

51:24.625 --> 51:31.838
[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess you lost, John, because if you would have bet the over, if you're going by last year's attendance number, at least you were less than last year.

51:32.746 --> 51:35.090
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Bianca Belair's theme came on out of nowhere.

51:35.872 --> 51:38.957
[SPEAKER_01]: And we've talked about how she has it been around.

51:39.017 --> 51:41.141
[SPEAKER_01]: There's been a lot of speculation about her.

51:41.181 --> 51:44.928
[SPEAKER_01]: The injury that she's been out with didn't seem like an injury that would keep her out that long.

51:46.451 --> 51:47.753
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, she comes out wearing this.

51:48.334 --> 51:49.757
[SPEAKER_01]: You mungous dress.

51:50.699 --> 51:51.961
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like, it covered her.

51:52.382 --> 51:53.083
[SPEAKER_01]: It was thick.

51:54.160 --> 51:58.945
[SPEAKER_01]: This is where my wife, again, spoke up and said, where she been, hey, I bet she's pregnant.

51:59.225 --> 52:00.046
[SPEAKER_01]: Look what she's wearing.

52:00.767 --> 52:02.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, I said, yeah, I think you're probably right.

52:03.570 --> 52:14.122
[SPEAKER_01]: So she comes down to the ring with John, and she says, she thinks everyone for the support, while she's been out, and then she says something to the effect if she's got another announcement.

52:14.142 --> 52:20.669
[SPEAKER_01]: She unzips this big dress, which was more like a big coat that she was wearing, and she said, you can see visually see she's pregnant.

52:20.709 --> 52:22.851
[SPEAKER_01]: She says that she's pregnant.

52:24.333 --> 52:45.666
[SPEAKER_01]: crowd popped, John comes in again with the most plastic possible delivery congratulating her and he just comes off so phony every time the guy talks it's just so polished and phony it's not a tone yeah very very much so but nice morning for moment for Bianca he then like added one to the attendance total or something like that

52:45.646 --> 52:52.239
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, and then they started playing all the videos, hype it up the main event, which we covered at the beginning and all the nonsense that was going on.

52:52.339 --> 52:55.365
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's night one of WrestleMania 42.

52:55.826 --> 53:04.884
[SPEAKER_01]: God Jesse, I wish they, they're never going to do it because now they have seen that these fans will buy tickets to two nights, even when creative is at a low point.

53:05.004 --> 53:05.726
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it is right now.

53:06.127 --> 53:07.890
[SPEAKER_01]: So why would they ever go back to one night?

53:08.343 --> 53:08.643
[SPEAKER_01]: You know?

53:09.204 --> 53:09.565
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.

53:09.725 --> 53:14.011
[SPEAKER_00]: And was it attendance 50,051,000 worth of announced for it?

53:14.172 --> 53:20.221
[SPEAKER_01]: So I could have swore that they announced like 50,000 on Wikipedia.

53:20.241 --> 53:23.626
[SPEAKER_01]: It says like 58,100 and last year 58,500.

53:23.826 --> 53:25.348
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's still less.

53:25.689 --> 53:27.692
[SPEAKER_01]: But I could have swore John said 50,000.

53:27.992 --> 53:28.613
[SPEAKER_01]: That sounds right.

53:29.034 --> 53:33.220
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know that WrestleTix had it right around 50,000.

53:33.200 --> 53:37.665
[SPEAKER_01]: So they were like 8 to 10,000 less, little less than 10,000 from there.

53:37.685 --> 53:45.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Today's a fairly paper 3, 4, 5000, the last handful of days, or to people actually buy, because I don't buy any of that at all.

53:45.175 --> 53:48.158
[SPEAKER_01]: It could have been paper, they could have sent it out to corporations.

53:48.358 --> 54:01.975
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't heard anything concrete on that, but apparently they had moved like 8,000 tickets in the last 48 hours, which seems very unbelievable, given all the ticket promotions they've done for the show and the tickets just were not moving.

54:02.680 --> 54:07.584
[SPEAKER_01]: So, not moving as fast as possible, yeah, not moving as fast.

54:08.405 --> 54:13.930
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I shouldn't say they weren't moving, but they weren't moving as fast as they wanted, you know.

54:13.990 --> 54:18.874
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, obviously the show is going to be a big gate because they're charging more for tickets than ever.

54:19.334 --> 54:20.635
[SPEAKER_01]: And people are just going to point to the gate.

54:20.675 --> 54:21.436
[SPEAKER_01]: They made a lot of money.

54:21.656 --> 54:23.878
[SPEAKER_01]: True, they could add a lot more people in there, though.

54:24.599 --> 54:27.641
[SPEAKER_01]: But you look, it's a success, however you want to paint it.

54:27.661 --> 54:29.603
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a little bit less so than last year.

54:30.184 --> 54:31.945
[SPEAKER_01]: But like I was saying, I mean,

54:31.925 --> 54:36.734
[SPEAKER_01]: If you get 50,000 in there for two nights, why would you run one night with 60,000?

54:36.834 --> 54:42.084
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's selling so many more tickets, either way, even if it's not a sellout, that they're just going to keep doing this.

54:43.447 --> 54:43.968
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate it.

54:44.088 --> 54:48.516
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd rather have like a 8-matched tight WrestleMania with the cream of the crop.

54:48.783 --> 54:55.071
[SPEAKER_01]: like they lasted it, I think WrestleMania 31, everyone since then would's like a marathon before they got to the two night ones.

54:56.753 --> 54:58.636
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, it's kind of where it is right now.

54:58.656 --> 55:00.759
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think there's gonna change for sure.

55:01.199 --> 55:02.901
[SPEAKER_01]: If they can move this many tickets, not lesser.

55:03.582 --> 55:06.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Their sales just really start to bottom out.

55:07.648 --> 55:11.172
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people have faith in Minnesota.

55:11.432 --> 55:15.718
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in what we've been doing in the last handful of years,

55:15.817 --> 55:24.870
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're smart enough to be like 15,000 short of a sell out both nights, I'd imagine.

55:24.910 --> 55:35.265
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, unless they do something to merically turn this around, I can think of, I can already think of one thing that WWE is going to do that will probably draw people into the building.

55:36.027 --> 55:36.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, with Brock.

55:37.949 --> 55:38.771
[SPEAKER_00]: His last match.

55:39.432 --> 55:39.732
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

55:40.910 --> 55:46.543
[SPEAKER_00]: But other than that, no, I don't, I don't foresee that many tickets being moved.

55:46.824 --> 55:48.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Like something under 40,000.

55:49.570 --> 55:58.671
[SPEAKER_01]: I, when they announced that show I'd every intention of going to it, I have zero plans going in that show now, just because of the ticket prices, I just cannot justify it.

55:59.613 --> 55:59.914
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

56:00.620 --> 56:12.440
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, if they do a really good ticket deal for it and, you know, or if I get a really good deal on tickets, maybe I'll consider, but I'm not paying several hundred dollars per ticket to go to Somerslam.

56:12.960 --> 56:14.203
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just not so.

56:15.625 --> 56:27.184
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would urge those of you like I ran to the beginning to save your money and do something else with it, because at least until they give you a product worthy of that, because man, if I had spent that money on this show, I would have been.

56:27.316 --> 56:29.479
[SPEAKER_01]: severely underwhelmed.

56:29.499 --> 56:31.221
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Justin's not on the show with us tonight.

56:32.062 --> 56:32.542
[SPEAKER_01]: Surprise.

56:33.964 --> 56:36.667
[SPEAKER_01]: Justin WWE, but he had some other plans anyways.

56:36.747 --> 56:39.871
[SPEAKER_01]: It were frankly better than what this show was.

56:40.171 --> 56:43.135
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, Justin and I were at WrestleMania 34.

56:43.856 --> 56:45.998
[SPEAKER_01]: And we walked out of that show.

56:46.058 --> 56:50.484
[SPEAKER_01]: The whole crowd in New Orleans was like, what did we just watch with that Roman Brock match?

56:51.024 --> 56:55.770
[SPEAKER_01]: This kind of had

56:56.628 --> 56:57.612
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the direction?

56:59.059 --> 56:59.641
[SPEAKER_01]: What happened?

56:59.662 --> 57:03.981
[SPEAKER_01]: Why is Randy doing a baby face turn in the pat than acting like a heal?

57:04.142 --> 57:05.608
[SPEAKER_01]: None of it made any sense to me.

57:06.618 --> 57:10.322
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really have any faith it's going to make sense in the days ahead, but we'll see what happens.

57:10.803 --> 57:20.414
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say that tomorrow's match matches, the card has some potential to be good and much better than what we saw tonight.

57:21.094 --> 57:30.465
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what happens with Obun Brock, you know, Sammy and trick Williams should have a good match if they're given time, Finn and Dominic could have a good match.

57:31.137 --> 57:36.766
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this version of Punk and Roman could potentially have a good match, or it could be very slow and plotting.

57:36.786 --> 57:37.608
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what happens.

57:38.109 --> 57:39.531
[SPEAKER_01]: You have that six-man ladder match.

57:39.571 --> 57:42.476
[SPEAKER_01]: We just talked about this when we did the WrestleMania 10 show the other night.

57:43.778 --> 57:50.369
[SPEAKER_01]: We're sick of ladder matches, and those old ladder matches just pack so much more punch than what we've seen in recent years.

57:50.409 --> 57:53.334
[SPEAKER_01]: Or it's just car crash, same thing over and over.

57:53.655 --> 57:56.740
[SPEAKER_01]: We're pretty much sick of ladder matches at this point.

57:57.867 --> 58:03.675
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure there'll be some spots in it that are crazy, just given the talent involved though that the fans will get really into.

58:04.937 --> 58:07.760
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, we'll see what our tone is tomorrow night.

58:09.022 --> 58:10.785
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be shocked if it was worse than tonight.

58:11.365 --> 58:11.826
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say that.

58:12.247 --> 58:12.587
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.

58:13.188 --> 58:22.120
[SPEAKER_00]: In spite of the fact that I, yeah, from a Brock Lesnar perspective, is just him as a human being right now, I'm not.

58:22.741 --> 58:24.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a fan of his whatsoever.

58:24.103 --> 58:29.310
[SPEAKER_00]: I am actually quite excited to put, I think it's the very first match of the card.

58:29.431 --> 58:30.292
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's Brock.

58:30.332 --> 58:32.455
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going back to Saskatchewan the moment it's over.

58:33.056 --> 58:36.180
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to show that to my son right away.

58:36.200 --> 58:38.684
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that'll be on the big screen for him.

58:38.704 --> 58:44.392
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'd be curious to see how he's going to react to it because you got two very large humans trying to move mass.

58:44.492 --> 58:46.635
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to it.

58:46.956 --> 58:49.059
[SPEAKER_00]: And just to see what they do with Oba.

58:49.940 --> 58:51.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Every other match though, I'm like,

58:52.255 --> 58:53.137
[SPEAKER_00]: we'll see.

58:53.838 --> 59:04.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully give them more time and they lay out some more space for these matches because tonight I just felt like I watched an infomercial perhaps to show and you know there's definitely a balance you can strike.

59:05.060 --> 59:08.586
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean you go these these AW paper views like when do I use the bathroom?

59:08.747 --> 59:13.656
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like a match and they're immediately out for the next match and there's no time to breathe.

59:13.720 --> 59:22.932
[SPEAKER_01]: But man, you get your money's worth and there's a hell of a lot of good wrestling and then you go to something like tonight and it was just low moving hard to stay awake at times.

59:23.292 --> 59:25.535
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a boring show.

59:25.795 --> 59:26.516
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say that.

59:26.617 --> 59:29.841
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I'll stick by a D rating on this one after talking it out with you.

59:30.662 --> 59:34.206
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give two things credit to the differ two.

59:34.226 --> 59:37.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, two points of emphasis that I give credit for the WWE.

59:37.130 --> 59:41.095
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, starting their paper view or PLE at 5 p.m. central.

59:41.260 --> 59:41.941
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.

59:42.221 --> 59:46.065
[SPEAKER_01]: If I was in Vegas, I'd be like, Hell yeah, we have the whole night ahead of us still.

59:46.085 --> 59:53.972
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a giant W. And I will give them also Kudos for some of these matches being under 10 minutes.

59:55.133 --> 59:57.135
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there should be a little bit more of that.

59:57.255 --> 59:59.277
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in especially in in pay per views.

01:00:00.318 --> 01:00:06.084
[SPEAKER_00]: So there should be the healthy balance, but other than that, yeah, I'll I'll one up you a little bit D plus.

01:00:07.185 --> 01:00:07.285
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.

01:00:09.323 --> 01:00:15.132
[SPEAKER_01]: real generous for their debust tonight, Brittany in the chat says D as well, um, yeah.

01:00:15.172 --> 01:00:22.503
[SPEAKER_01]: So tomorrow night, I'm going to promote our mail bag a little more going into the show because we kind of did last minute, but nobody watched.

01:00:22.523 --> 01:00:24.106
[SPEAKER_01]: It was brave enough for leave us a voice mail.

01:00:24.126 --> 01:00:24.987
[SPEAKER_01]: I would play on the show.

01:00:25.287 --> 01:00:28.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Too many people camera shy, yes, or audio shy tonight.

01:00:28.753 --> 01:00:30.275
[SPEAKER_01]: But we'll open that up tomorrow.

01:00:30.375 --> 01:00:34.842
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll send out to our patrons too, so they kind of have a heads up if they want to get featured on the show with their.

01:00:34.822 --> 01:00:40.712
[SPEAKER_01]: audio review and think we're planning on going live right after the show again tomorrow night it's WrestleMania.

01:00:40.792 --> 01:00:43.557
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, we want to get this out while it's hot.

01:00:43.677 --> 01:00:45.279
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I'm going to mix this.

01:00:45.640 --> 01:00:50.208
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to add that outro that Jesse requested and get some sleep and get ready for night too.

01:00:50.268 --> 01:00:52.732
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jesse, appreciate talking to you as always.

[SPEAKER_01]: My friend will be we'll be back in 24 hours.

01:00:55.476 --> 01:00:57.099
[SPEAKER_01]: This was way more fun than the show itself.

01:00:57.560 --> 01:00:58.922
[SPEAKER_01]: That is true.

01:00:59.003 --> 01:00:59.524
[SPEAKER_01]: That is true.

01:00:59.644 --> 01:01:01.627
