1:39
to another episode of What's
1:41
Wrong With Wrestling? I'm Andrew Pizano
1:43
along with my brother Joe Pizano
1:46
and Eric Slamelton Hamilton. Shit's getting
1:48
real. Uh-huh. Shit's getting real. They're
1:50
saying shit on the show. Wow.
1:52
Yeah. The word shit's getting real.
1:54
That's what you meant. And yes.
1:56
I mean this show is getting
1:59
shit. Not that. hasn't been at
2:01
times, but I mean, we had
2:03
a couple of great segments for
2:05
Roman Seth and punk. And then
2:07
we had the train wreck that
2:09
was Tiffany Shratton. Oh, there was
2:11
just one. One train wreck? Well,
2:13
I mean, when you take every,
2:15
I mean, that is just like
2:17
on a whole other level from
2:19
the rest of them. I mean,
2:21
my God, I'm almost looking forward
2:23
to talking about that. more than
2:25
everything else. Right. My God, that
2:27
was so fucking terrible. How is
2:29
this on TV? Right. How embarrassing
2:31
for Charlotte to come out dressed
2:33
like her granddaughter. Oh my God.
2:35
I had my own Charlotte joke.
2:37
I'm gonna save it for later
2:39
since you just made one, but
2:41
yeah. And I think that night
2:43
two main event should be this
2:45
triple threat. It's the entire story
2:47
of the show right now. That's
2:49
true. I mean, Cody and John
2:51
were even on the show. Who's
2:53
Cody? Who's John? Yeah. That's the
2:55
one thing that we have, you
2:57
know, you have to count your
2:59
blessings. All right? That's what your
3:01
mother always taught you to count
3:03
your blessings. Yeah. And we do
3:05
have to count our blessings because
3:07
this week, Smackdown and Raw, there
3:09
was no Cody Rhodes. Wow. So
3:11
we thank you, WWW for that.
3:13
Who fucking cares? Oh yeah I
3:15
wasn't lost. Cody's been listening to
3:18
the fans and they're like hey
3:20
are you gonna be uh you
3:22
gonna work this week too and
3:24
he's like enough yeah yeah he's
3:26
had enough I mean we've also
3:28
had enough he got buried last
3:30
week yeah so maybe he's embarrassed
3:32
he's trying to you know dig
3:34
his way out right it's not
3:36
gonna be easy yeah he might
3:38
have brandy go on a verbal
3:40
war with John Sina. Oh boy.
3:42
But yeah, like, you know, open
3:44
mic night. Well, she will lose
3:46
huge. We talked about it last
3:48
week, how Sina redeemed his heel
3:50
character with that promo. Yeah. But
3:52
still, at the end of the
3:54
day, like, Sina versus Cody, I
3:56
don't think it's going to be
3:58
that good of a match. I
4:00
mean, like we said, Sina hasn't
4:02
wrestled full-time full-time. When was the
4:04
last really good scene a match?
4:06
Like since he's been back and
4:08
he has a couple matches a
4:10
year, maybe one or two, like
4:12
they're mostly very safe. Again, he
4:14
can't risk getting injured. Right. Because
4:16
he still has to film shit.
4:18
Yeah, you know, he's, he just
4:20
finished filming the matchbox car movie.
4:22
So, you know, who knows what's
4:24
next? The who? It's fast and
4:26
furious for children. Right, I'm sure.
4:28
Of course. Right. I thought fast
4:30
and furious multi-verse. I thought that
4:32
was for children. Wow, yeah. So
4:34
into the fast verse. But all
4:36
right, it is a big show.
4:38
We have a lot to cover,
4:40
but first we have to thank
4:42
a new patron. So thank you
4:44

the paper views including AEW Dynasty,

5:19
that was a lot of fun.
5:21
And that's my brain exploding. And
5:23
they just had. a big return
5:25
also. The balding bucks made their
5:27
return and they suck more than
5:29
ever. Didn't they, I mean, this
5:31
is just for me looking at
5:33
internet stuff. Hey, what didn't I
5:35
tell you about that? Didn't they
5:37
run away from the guys that
5:39
they helped the last time we
5:41
saw them? Aren't they like kind
5:43
of running away from Moxley's crew?
5:45
The young bucks? Yeah. I have
5:47
no idea. Yeah. Come on. I
5:49
just, I have no idea. Yeah.
5:51
Now they're with them. Oh, it's
5:53

WrestleMania is just two weeks away.
6:03
So that recap will be on
6:05
there as well. Yes, it will.
6:07
Go check it out. Wow. All
6:09
right, Smackdown in Chicago opens with
6:11
none other than. Chicago's own CM
6:13
Punk, of course. Yeah, I come
6:15
out first. He says, I was
6:18
told the best crowds were overseas,
6:20
but then I heard we were
6:22
going to Chicago and he grabs
6:24
the camera to film the crowd.
6:26
And the crowd's going CM, C-M-C-N-Punk,
6:28
C-M-C-M-C-N-C-N-Punk, right? Not this time. But
6:30
they're the, but he said, these
6:32
are the best crowds. The best
6:34
crowds sing and hijack the show
6:36
the whole time, right? They did
6:38
do it for Roman rains. Yeah,
6:40
they did the Roman, Roman rains
6:42
again. So, I mean, they did
6:44
do it. Oh, God, it's spreading.
6:46
But weren't they just making fun
6:48
of? I don't think they were
6:50
making fun of it. But I
6:52
think they just wanted to do
6:54
it. Like, oh, that sounded cool.
6:56
Yeah, and then they did it
6:58
and they're like, those were probably
7:00
some of the fans, they were
7:02
probably at both shows, you know,
7:04
you know, Greenshirt Guy did the
7:06
European tour. Yeah, he was like,
7:08
I'm doing the tour. Yeah. Also,
7:10
Brock Lesner Guy, Smackdown starts, Brock
7:12
Lesner Guy, and Chris Van Vlee
7:14
were right behind commentary. Very weird.
7:16
It's just an interesting thing because
7:18
Brock Lesner Guy is just a
7:20
fan, whereas. Chris Van Vleet is
7:22
a very successful podcaster. Yeah. The
7:24
two of them together. I wonder
7:26
if he's like, Chris Van Vleet's
7:28
like, guess who my next guest
7:30
is? Brock Lesner. God. Yeah, right.
7:32
So that was kind of funny.
7:34
Maybe Brock Lesner. My guy was
7:36
pitching that the whole time. You
7:38
know, he could be new show.
7:40
He'd be like, I have Brock
7:42
Lesner. Guy! And he's still wearing
7:44
the same shirt that he's been
7:47
wearing for 13 fucking years. Well,
7:49
I ordered a box of 100,
7:51
so... No, he just never washed
7:53
it. Well, Chris, thanks for inviting
7:55
me. My real name is shut
7:57
the fuck up, your Brock Lesner
7:59
guy. That's all you're ever gonna
8:01
be. You don't ever know your
8:03
role. The punk, live the fucking
8:05
gimmick. We should interview him because
8:07
you know you would do it.
8:09
And then like when we talked
8:11
to him, we're just like, now
8:13
Brock Lesner guy, how many shows
8:15
have you been to? He's like,
8:17
well, I've been to like 2,000
8:19
shows and it's like, okay, thanks.
8:21
And you know, Brock Lesner guy,
8:23
how much have you paid for
8:25
all of all of these tickets?
8:27
No, and then just trick him
8:29
into thinking he's important, like, like, I don't,
8:31
like, how important do you think your role
8:33
with, like, Brock Lesnar in the company is, like,
8:36
the fact that when Brock comes out, they cut to you if
8:38
you're there, like, yeah, that's a huge part of the show, right?
8:40
It is, it is, yeah, it sure is. Yeah, without me, they
8:42
couldn't have the show. Do they pay you? No, I pay them,
8:44
I pay them, I pay them, I, I, I, I, I, I,
8:46
I, I pay them, I, I, I, I, I, I pay them,
8:49
I, I, I, I, I pay them, I, I, I, I, I,
8:51
I, I, I pay them, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
8:53
pay them, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
8:55
I, I, I, I So punk says I was born with a
8:57
cord around my neck, I came out blue, because I'm not supposed
9:00
to be here. His whole promo was, you know, I'm not supposed
9:02
to be here, but when he mentioned this, this was reminiscent of
9:04
an old A-W promo, where he said I
9:06
came out with a cord wrapped around my
9:08
neck, because they've been trying to kill me
9:10
since the day I was born. I did
9:13
remind me of that. And then he says,
9:15
I don't know if you've heard this, but
9:17
I'm in the main event of Wrestlement of
9:19
Wrestlemania. Mocks the rocks goosebumps
9:22
bullshit. I love it which is so
9:24
great it is because it's like you
9:26
know He's probably not getting a
9:28
match with the rock, but it makes it
9:30
feel so much bigger that he's he's the
9:33
one mentioning the rock No one's mentioned
9:35
the rock John Sina has not mentioned
9:37
the rock has not talked about the
9:39
rock right that's like one of the
9:41
craziest things ever someone said what if
9:44
after a bash at the beach? You
9:46
know, Holkogan turns, he joins the NWO,
9:48
he joins Hall of Nash, and then
9:50
for the next month, he doesn't even
9:52
mention Hall of Nash. He's not seen
9:54
with Hall of Nash. Right, right. It
9:56
makes no sense. Zero sense. The way
9:58
they've done this is. certainly not the
10:00
best. No. But then the fans chant,
10:03
you deserve it, and punk says, I
10:05
deserve it, I earned it. And he
10:07
gets an even bigger round of applause.
10:10
Yeah. And then he mentions, you know,
10:12
the whole, I'm not supposed to be
10:14
here. He mentions being an extra for
10:17
John Sina's Wrestlemania entrance. Right. He, I
10:19
was dressed as alcapone in John Sina's
10:21
mob car. And they said, that's as
10:24
good as it gets for you kid,
10:26
you're not supposed to be here. Like
10:28
again, just a really fucking great promo.
10:31
He thanks the fans along with his
10:33
wife and his dog. He promises to
10:35
whoop Seth Rollins and Roman Reins his
10:37
asses at mania. But then we hear,
10:40
ladies and gentlemen, and Paul Hayman walks
10:42
out, he sucks off punk, punk's at
10:44
all. I mean that's what Haman does,
10:47
right? Yeah. The fans do an ECW
10:49
champ, but Haman says, ask not what
10:51
you can do for your wise man.
10:54
Ask instead what your wise man can
10:56
do for you. Wow. And then he
10:58
tells punk, God damn it, you belong
11:01
here, you belong in this ring, you
11:03
belong in Chicago, and you belong in
11:05
the main event of Wrestle mania. And
11:08
then Haman mentions punk doing him a
11:10
favorite war games, and he asked punk,
11:12
do me a favor. Tell me what
11:14
the favor is. Because Roman Reigns is
11:17
coming here later and you know how
11:19
these Samowans get when they're angry. Yeah,
11:21
it's pretty funny. You got all punchy
11:24
on their spouses. And then punk says,
11:26
I want to tell him to his
11:28
face, so let me know when Big
11:31
Chief decides to show up. So, you
11:33
know, saving it for the... Last segment
11:35
of the show, obviously. The end, right.
11:38
Oh, he's not here yet? That's what
11:40
we're going with. Yeah, and thank, you
11:42
know, thank goodness, Roman showed up with
11:44
10 minutes to spare. Yeah, right, showed
11:47
up, you know, two hours and 50
11:49
minutes late for work. And you know,
11:51
this is, I'm not like bitching here
11:54
because this isn't really a pet peeve.
11:56
I just think it was cooler in
11:58
the attitude era when the wrestlers showed
12:01
up. When the wrestlers showed up, It's
12:03
out of the back of the car.
12:05
Then on Ross, Seth, Seth showed up.
12:08
He got out of the back of
12:10
the car. And I guess when, you
12:12
know, when Punk did it a few
12:15
months ago, he was driving. So sometimes
12:17
he did it. But I guess Roman's
12:19
character is still like, Roman was basically
12:21
a heel later on Smackdown, but you
12:24
know. Not everybody's gonna show up with
12:26
a Bigfoot stone cold truck. No, sure,
12:28
I know. But it is cooler when
12:31
like they're driving their own car, not,
12:33
oh, I'm being escorted here because I'm
12:35
such a big star. Yeah, but you
12:38
know what happens? Sid knows what happens
12:40
when you drive your own car. That's
12:42
true. Yeah. 22. Yeah. Stone Parking Spot
12:45
Twenty-Two. Oh my God! What happened in
12:47
my car? Vangelike, we'll take Ronald Card.
12:49
We're good. We're good. Still waiting for
12:52
him. We'll waiting for him to open
12:54
for him to open an acting for
12:56
him to open in acting school. Yeah.
12:58
Oh, he's dead. I know. That's why
13:01
I'm still waiting. That's still going to
13:03
be waiting a while. All right, our
13:05
first match of Smackdown. We've got Nathan
13:08
Frazier from Fraxium on NxT. I've heard
13:10
of this guy. Versus, that's good. I
13:12
know that reference. Versus the in-ring W-W-E
13:15
debut of Ray Phoenix. Yes. and this
13:17
didn't go as well as Penta's in
13:19
ring debut. I'll just say that. Yeah.
13:22
There were a few botches. Sure. Too
13:24
many flippity dues. You know what I
13:26
mean? If you're doing too many, you're
13:28
gonna have some mess-ups. Fraser went for
13:31
a suicide dive, but the bright lights
13:33
were too much for him because he
13:35
botched it. I don't know. Phoenix jumped
13:38
off the top rope to land on
13:40
Fraser outside the ring. Phoenix did his
13:42
spot where he runs on the top
13:45
rope and then kicks the guy in
13:47
the face. And then Phoenix wins with
13:49
a Mexican muscle buster. Yeah. Thank you,
13:52
Joe Tessitor. I'm glad someone told you
13:54
what that was. Right. Before the match.
13:56
Yeah. But after the match, Byron Saxon
13:59
interviews, interviews, interviews, him
14:01
too? Well, you know, huh? It
14:03
is what it is. That's strange.
14:05
Yeah, that's what it is. All
14:07
right, well, thanks. I thought his
14:09
setup move was better, the fire
14:11
driver? Yes. Or it was basically
14:13
a brainbuster? I thought, oh, that's,
14:15
yeah. I thought that was better
14:17
as well. And then he kicked
14:19
out. I was like, oh, yeah.
14:21
Then he just did like a
14:23
regular, like a regular little kind
14:25
of move to win. That was,
14:27
that was, that was, that was, that
14:29
was, that was, that was, that
14:31
was, that was, that was, that
14:33
was, that was, that was, that
14:35
was, that was, that was, that
14:37
was, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's,
14:39
that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's,
14:41
that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's,
14:44
that's, that's, that's, that's, That's the
14:46
kind of performance that I expect
14:48
from the two of Uninios. But
14:50
Berto says, gee! I mean it
14:52
was like they were parying Tellamundo
14:54
or some shit. Like Tella Novella,
14:56
gee! He's a flying lizard, Bobby. He's
14:58
a flash in the band. I'm
15:00
better than him despite never winning
15:02
a match ever. He's also secretly
15:04
your twin brother. Can you believe
15:06
a few years ago? There was
15:08
this fucking mark that thought I
15:10
was going to be the next United
15:12
States champion. Can you believe it?
15:14
He won. One match in a
15:16
row. So he had momentum. Yeah,
15:18
he did. He really did. So
15:20
then Sanzos is like, I like
15:22
the fire. I'll talk to Nicardis
15:24
and make it happen. And they're like,
15:27
thanks. Manager Santos. Who never wrestles.
15:29
Yeah. And will never wrestle again.
15:31
Clearly. That's crazy. Yeah. Why did
15:33
that? What is it? When a
15:35
Mexican wrestler shows up, why does
15:37
he have to fight the other Mexican
15:39
wrestlers? Why is that always the
15:41
case? Vince is gone, right? Yeah,
15:43
Vince is gone. Are we still
15:45
doing this? Yeah, why? We're still
15:47
doing the whole like race. Oh,
15:49
luchalebra. It's like, yeah, there's plenty
15:51
of luchadores in the company. They don't
15:54
just have to wrestle each other.
15:56
But what are you going to
15:58
do? What are you going to
16:00
do? Next up we have a
16:02
video promo from Drew McIntyre. He's
16:04
now a pirate. Yeah. Because he's
16:06
sporting an eye patch to sell the
16:08
glass in his eye from the
16:10
car spot the previous week is
16:12
fightful or whoever still thinks it
16:14
really happens. And then Drew calls
16:16
Priest a coward for the attack.
16:18
He says, I need to pray.
16:20
And we all know, when Drew McIntyre
16:22
prays, bad things happen. And then
16:24
Priest responds with a video promo
16:26
of his own later. He says,
16:28
Drew made him a scapegoat for
16:30
his own failures. And then he
16:32
calls Drew a junkie, which reminded
16:34
me of when Orton was feuding with
16:37
Edge. And he said, Edge is
16:39
a junkie. And Adam Copeland is
16:41
a junkie for Edge. Yeah. So
16:43
he calls him a junkie. And
16:45
he officially challenges Drew to a
16:47
match at Russell man. Okay. All right.
16:49
Which we obviously knew that was
16:51
coming. Yeah. It's unfortunate that this
16:53
is what Drew has to work
16:55
with for mania. Yeah. And again,
16:57
probably lose. I mean, there's a
16:59
good chance he loses. Because he
17:01
always loses, you know. We were talking
17:04
last week, maybe him and Kevin
17:06
Owens help each other win. But
17:08
obviously that's not happening anymore. So
17:10
who knows? Maybe Seth now? I
17:12
mean, they've teased that before? I
17:14
don't know. Right. That might be
17:16
asking a lot, though. Next up, we've
17:18
got L.A. Knight. Yeah. All right.
17:20
It's dying down, though. See, you're,
17:22
yeah, it's not as excited as
17:24
it used to be. He's tired
17:26
of it. He's on his, like,
17:28
eight-year feud with Sam Owens. Yeah.
17:30
L.A. A. Night versus Tomat versus Tomatanga
17:32
versus Tomat versus Tomat. But Knight
17:34
has his back and solo tells
17:36
Knight you got a lot of
17:38
balls talking to me like that
17:40
and Knight says, oh you ain't
17:42
lying, they're gargantuan. And then Thomas
17:44
says, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like,
17:47
yeah, they are. I see. They're
17:49
right in my mouth. Strange. Anyways,
17:51
this match, Knight won with the
17:53
BFT. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
17:55
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so we're
17:57
interfering. The two monsters have to fight
17:59
for a chance to face night,
18:01
but Tonga can just do it.
18:03
Yeah, I'll just fight him. Not
18:05
non-titled though, it was on title
18:07
match up. Didn't matter. No, of
18:09
course not. Byron Saxon asked Heyman
18:11
what the favor is but he says
18:14
are you retarded he I don't
18:16
know he didn't tell me right
18:18
but he says whatever it is
18:20
the answer is yes and then
18:22
a car pulls up and Heyman
18:24
thinks it's his tribal chief but
18:26
it's Seth Rollins he was like ah
18:28
you were expecting the other shield
18:30
guy right you look horrible you
18:32
really dug yourself into a hole
18:34
with this whole favor thing but
18:36
let me know when Roman gets
18:38
here because I want to know
18:40
what this favor is favor is too.
18:42
So teasing the main segment. Meanwhile
18:44
we get another Alister Black teaser.
18:46
Yeah. He's coming. Is it gonna
18:48
be WrestleMania Smackdown or Smackdown after
18:50
Wrestlemania is the question? It's, uh,
18:52
I don't know who knows. Does
18:54
it really matter? Who's gonna, who's gonna,
18:57
who's gonna, you know, job out
18:59
his first match? Carrying cross. Maybe
19:01
there's something in the, like, like,
19:03
sport. Oh, okay. He's gonna fight
19:05
Zalina. Yeah. Wow. So now that's
19:07
how you come. So next up, Charlotte
19:09
Flair comes out. Looking like Madonna.
19:11
Now. Yes. Madonna at 66 years
19:13
old. Yes. Holy shit. What was
19:15
she thinking with that outfit? Yeah.
19:17
I can pull this off. No.
19:19
You have zero curves. You're wearing
19:21
like a dog collar and it's like
19:24
you kind of look like one.
19:26
I didn't really even get it
19:28
while I was watching it. I
19:30
was like, what am I watching
19:32
right now? I'm not sure. Someone
19:34
said it's Sabrina Carpenter versus share.
19:36
I've read some media. Yeah, that's funny.
19:38
So fair enough. I think Cher
19:40
looks better there though in that
19:42
photo. At 79. So then Tiffany
19:44
Stratton comes out and Wade Barrett
19:46
was in the ring like, I've
19:48
been chosen to moderate this train
19:50
wreck. Here we go! Because boy yourselves,
19:52
it's a no. Yeah. And I
19:54
think they booked this segment just
19:56
to make Cody Rhodes look cool
19:58
by comparison. They're like, everyone's gonna
20:00
be like, well, at least you're
20:02
not that bad. You're not as
20:04
bad as these two girls. Maybe. Charlotte
20:07
says she chose Stratton because Tiffany
20:09
begged her and was, and she
20:11
was feeling charitable. And then Stratton
20:13
tells, like, Stratton, like, okay, Charlotte
20:15
sucks, but Stratton is horrendous on
20:17
the mic. She is completely lost.
20:19
All she's doing is saying the
20:21
words. She's not really. presenting them
20:23
in an interesting way. She's just
20:25
remembering them and saying them as
20:27
she goes. Right. She's so bad.
20:29
She's like, Charlotte, your biggest competitor
20:31
has never been in this ring.
20:34
Your biggest competitor has been them.
20:36
And that's a battle you'll never
20:38
win. And it's like, well, I mean,
20:40
okay, first of all, that sucked. Right. Secondly,
20:43
like there were times where Charlotte
20:45
was like the most over women's
20:47
wrestler. There were in the company.
20:49
Right. But it's like, what does that have to
20:51
do with, if we're pretending that this is
20:54
a real TV show and she's a
20:56
wrestler, what does that matter? It's just
20:58
like, she has a bunch of belts,
21:00
she has more titles than any woman.
21:02
So then Tiffany also says, no matter
21:04
how many titles you win, you'll always
21:06
come second to your daddy. Rick Flair
21:08
is like, oh good, I'm glad she
21:10
said it. We wouldn't have known. No
21:12
one knows. Her music, her woo, her
21:14
finisher? Yeah, if this is for the
21:17
fan that doesn't, that can't connect the
21:19
dots, they don't know who the fuck
21:21
Rick Flair is to begin with. Right.
21:23
You know, your dad, Rick Flair, oh.
21:25
And then Charlotte freezes as the fans
21:27
boo her out of the arena. Yeah.
21:29
And then she just turns to them
21:32
and says, what would you like me
21:34
to say? It's like, oh no. She
21:36
basically pulled Aranda? Yeah, she's getting
21:38
close. Yeah. Yeah. Stratman says, what
21:41
were you doing at 25? You
21:43
were trying to be a volleyball
21:45
player drinking in your daddy's basement?
21:47
Is that true? I have no
21:50
fucking idea. Probably. I
21:52
mean, I guess. It must be
21:54
because she sent it. College? Was
21:56
she trying to be like a
21:58
college volleyball player? I don't know. I
22:00
guess she took after her father
22:02
in terms of education. I guess
22:04
so. But then she says at
22:07
25, I'm walking into WrestleMania, the
22:09
W.E. Women's Champion, and then this
22:11
segment really goes off the rails.
22:14
And your WrestleMania record may be
22:16
four and three? And you may
22:19
be the queen inside of the
22:21
ring. You ain't the queen of
22:23
shit, they believed it. She
22:37
said, you're so squeaky while
22:39
she was squeaking. Yeah. Yes.
22:42
Mm-hmm. So that was terrible.
22:44
You know what? Reminding me
22:46
of, on wrestling isn't wrestling,
22:48
you don't want to go
22:50
up to that little man.
22:52
Oh, yeah. You're not going
22:54
to put that amount of
22:56
money. You're my best friend.
22:58
For such good friends, Matista.
23:00
Anyways, it gets worse. And
23:02
when I beat you at
23:04
Wrestle, Charlotte. You're
23:07
gonna be just like you
23:09
are outside of the ring
23:11
alone First of all what
23:14
part what does that mean?
23:16
After WrestleMania, you're gonna be
23:18
alone Just like you are
23:21
outside the ring like in
23:23
a personal life sure, but
23:25
like what does that mean
23:27
in the ring? Yeah, you're
23:30
gonna lose your alone. Yeah,
23:32
that's it. What is that
23:34
record like what? Wow
23:39
someone said we should get the
23:41
rock doing the diesel like that's
23:43
a shitty one If that's a
23:45
great idea Now I will say
23:48
Kaiser did tweet this. Oh I
23:50
saw this. Yes. Yes Uh-huh. Okay.
23:52
And here we go. And here
23:54
we go. Uh-huh. Take two. You
23:56
can't do it. Can't do it?
23:58
Hold on. Can I just do
24:00
it? Take three. Do not have
24:03
a sincere flower for March shot.
24:05
Please do not flatter yourself. Do
24:07
not flatter yourself, Deanna Tucker. Yeah,
24:09
that was shown to Davy Boy's
24:11
wife, which is funny because we
24:13
covered that fairly recently on the
24:15
Monday Night War podcast. Sure did.
24:18
So you have fire everyone involved
24:20
in this segment. Even Wade Barrett?
24:22
Yes. Oh, fuck. It's all his
24:24
fault. Deathby Association. Yeah. Cylinal damage
24:26
was terrible. There are reports that
24:28
Charlotte went off script first. Which
24:30
like I guess she did by
24:33
what the whole you're so squeaky
24:35
like there's like can't hear you
24:37
And then they're saying Stratton ad
24:39
lib the oh and three line,
24:41
but there's no fucking way No,
24:43
yeah, like none of this came
24:45
off natural to Stratton You know
24:48
did that line the same way
24:50
she delivered the rest of her
24:52
fucking lines like a robot right
24:54
and then she got like like
24:56
like you said she goes oh
24:58
in three woo and then Stratton
25:00
runs away like a heelwood Yeah
25:03
And then Charlotte says, is that
25:05
why Kaiser's in my D.M.'s? I
25:07
can see Charlotte ad libbing the
25:09
Kaiser line. Because that's not K-Fabe.
25:11
Right, no, it's not. He's not
25:13
her together. No. But it's like,
25:15
yeah, no, Charlotte. Go look in
25:18
the mirror. I mean, Stratton might
25:20
be a butterface as well, but
25:22
she's, you know, heads and shoulders
25:24
above you. That's the definition of
25:26
a butterface is a hot body,
25:28
but yeah, I don't know if
25:30
it's that bad. Burroughface is way
25:33
worse. I said that. Of course,
25:35
anyone compared to Charlotte, I mean,
25:37
my God. But this was just
25:39
fucking horrible. And what is with
25:41
them? They can't book women's segments
25:43
on the show anymore. You have
25:46
this, you have the Jade and
25:48
Naomi bullshit, which is terrible. of
25:50
Eo Ripley and Bel Air, that's
25:52
fucking terrible too. What is happening
25:54
right now? Right. It's not good.
25:56
But all right, next up we've
25:58
got DIY versus Motor City machine
26:01
guns. Chippa ran into an exposed
26:03
turnbuckle and then Chris Sabin beat
26:05
him with a roll-up. Thanks guys.
26:07
Oh great. B-I-Y buried forever. Mm-hmm.
26:09
Backstage, Miss and Mellow make fun
26:11
of Kit Wilson and Elton Prince
26:13
for losing their tag title match
26:16
the previous week. And Miss says
26:18
pretty deadly? More like pretty useless.
26:20
Yeah. And then pretty shitty mentions
26:22
the shitty Marie movies. and that
26:24
they aren't even really a real
26:26
tag team and then Ms. says
26:28
we are mellow don't miss and
26:31
we are aus him so you
26:33
might as well be in a
26:35
tag team with our truth again
26:37
yeah this what's the difference what's
26:39
the difference so that's what we're
26:41
doing now so they're gonna have
26:43
a match that's gonna be fun
26:46
next up let's see if it
26:48
gets better we got B Fab
26:50
versus Naomi Oh no! Oh no!
26:52
Yeah. I'm gonna do it with
26:54
it. Jade Cargill jumps Naomi from
26:56
behind before the match, but security
26:58
pulls her off. Bee Fab, during
27:01
the match, bee Fab, I'll give
27:03
her credit. She gave stiff forearms
27:05
to Naomi's forearms. So give me
27:07
your forearms, Eric? Yeah. She was
27:09
like this. Wow! Oh! Oh! Oh!
27:11
Oh! Oh! Oh! Wow! Ground and
27:13
pound! How is she gonna get
27:16
out of that! Pound and ground!
27:18
Enough how with the fucking MMA
27:20
bullshit. Yeah. Neely then wins with
27:22
the shittiest code breaker ever. Yeah.
27:24
And they called it something else.
27:26
Cautious. to your dick, I don't
27:28
know what it was, but it
27:31
sucked. Caution to your dick. Yeah.
27:33
Caution to the wind? After the
27:35
match, Naomi calls out Jade as
27:37
if she were the baby face,
27:39
but then she turns around and
27:41
Jade pump kicks Naomi's forearm, so
27:43
that's good. Yeah. And then Jade
27:46
sets up for the jaded, but
27:48
security's like, no! No! This will
27:50
kill her! Stop it! This is
27:52
what everyone's waiting for at WrestleMania.
27:54
Jimmy Uso almost died. Yes. No
27:56
one comes out. No. She wants
27:58
to do what? Her finisher? Yes.
28:01
Oh, shut it down. Shut it
28:03
down now. 18 security guards. Wow.
28:05
And then Jade beats up all
28:07
the six foot five security guards.
28:09
Yeah. And then Nick Aldis comes
28:11
out to announce that Jade versus
28:13
Naomi will be one of the
28:16
worst WrestleMania matches of all time.
28:18
No. He's so excited to announce
28:20
that. Oh, and it's like that's
28:22
what that's what like the whole
28:24
thing is. Like the Orton versus,
28:26
oh, Orton versus Kevin Owens match
28:28
was like, this is where the
28:31
punts gonna be. Yeah. And then
28:33
the Omni Jade match is gonna
28:35
be, well, we're saving the jaded
28:37
for Wrestleania. Yeah. This is where
28:39
the punts gonna be. Didn't she
28:41
already hit her with the jaded?
28:43
Yes. Yeah. When, when she came
28:46
out in the caution tape the
28:48
first time. So anyways, next up,
28:50
Nick All This introduces Kevin Owens,
28:52
who comes out on a Finn
28:54
Ballard t-shirt and a Bret Hart
28:56
jacket. I mean... You fucking Mark!
28:58
I mean, seriously. And this wasn't
29:01
Kevin Owens, the heel wrestler, this
29:03
was Kevin Steen, the real person.
29:05
Yeah. You know? Right. Did they
29:07
say that? No. Oh, but you
29:09
know what I mean. Yes. Yeah.
29:11
Kayo says I've been in this
29:13
industry for 25 years and because
29:16
of that I've gotten to experience
29:18
things I'll never forget I've had
29:20
the chance to take care of
29:22
my family that I could have
29:24
only dreamed of But there's a
29:26
price to pay for that opportunity
29:28
and now it seems like it's
29:31
my turn For the last four
29:33
months I've been dealing with a
29:35
pretty serious neck injury and now
29:37
I have to go get neck
29:39
surgery. Not getting to be in
29:41
the ring with Randy Orton at
29:43
Russell Mani really sucks. The truth
29:46
is I don't know when I'll
29:48
have the privilege to be in
29:50
front of you guys again. And
29:52
then he thanks the fans, he
29:54
apologizes and hugs Nick Aldis. So
29:56
yeah. Like he did this whole
29:58
promo as if he were a
30:01
baby face. Sure. Because again, it's
30:03
supposed to be a real moment.
30:05
What's interesting here is like, so
30:07
okay, we'll get to this, but
30:09
after this, Randy Orton walks out
30:11
and he has a moment with
30:13
Owens. And then Owens hops off
30:16
the apron. Yeah. And I think
30:18
they did that to show that
30:20
this is real, because if it
30:22
wasn't, then Orton would just beat
30:24
the shit out of them. Right.
30:26
But per cave fade, Kevin, Kevin
30:28
Owens pile drive Dortin's head into
30:31
the Orton's head into the mat.
30:33
And now Orton wants to put
30:35
his, punch his head off, but
30:37
since Owens is injured, I don't
30:39
want to put your head off
30:41
anymore. Wasn't that the whole point?
30:44
Didn't you want to end his
30:46
career? But when you're, if it's
30:48
real, if it's real, and I
30:50
don't know, I just don't, I'm
30:52
assuming. Right. But if it's real,
30:54
like, you're crossing the fourth, you're
30:56
breaking the fourth wall a little
30:59
bit. You are, yeah. And like
31:01
you could have dabbed him up.
31:03
the wall, we're gonna break cave
31:05
for a second, they do a
31:07
little dab hug and it sucks
31:09
and he leaves. Yeah. Even this
31:11
I felt was too far because
31:14
Owen's pile drive him, like he
31:16
gave him a pile driver, he
31:18
was out for a while. Well
31:20
I mean it's a good way
31:22
of like separating the story from
31:24
real life, you know. But again
31:26
this is a fucking TV show.
31:29
You don't do this in dramas,
31:31
you don't do this in Sop.
31:33
Yeah, it's not like Tony's mom
31:35
died and then they did a
31:37
tribute to the actress that played
31:39
her. It's not the same. It
31:41
is? Yeah, really. It's not? Pro
31:44
wrestling's always been its own thing
31:46
of slightly crossing the fourth wall
31:48
when they need to. Yeah. You
31:50
know, I get it, whatever. It's
31:52
time I know what you mean
31:54
though I get it right like
31:56
don't why did you have to
31:59
walk past him Vince McMahon died
32:01
and it was like yeah so
32:03
that was bullshit anyway Chris Ben
32:05
was dead and that was great
32:07
Eric like what's your point I'm
32:09
not that wasn't it's not like
32:11
that was a good moment I'm
32:14
not saying it's great but when
32:16
you have something that happens in
32:18
real life it's okay not to
32:20
follow the story a hundred percent
32:22
you just I mean it wasn't
32:24
necessary that Orton had to come
32:26
out right then That's all I'm
32:29
saying. He's the one that hates
32:31
Kevin Owens the most. Per the
32:33
story, he wants to break Kevin
32:35
Owens' neck. Sure. So like you
32:37
should come out and be like,
32:39
hey, cool. They used to be
32:41
the bestest of friends. Sure, you
32:44
know, it's true. So then, you
32:46
know, Owens starts to leave and
32:48
Owens, and you see Owens confront
32:50
a fan, and on TV you
32:52
can't hear what the fan said,
32:54
but another fan was filming the
32:56
crowd and uploaded the video. And
32:59
a lot of people were confused
33:01
about what the fan said, but
33:03
if you actually pay attention, the
33:05
fan yelled, you're full of shit,
33:07
Kevin. And then Kevin confronts the
33:09
guy and says, shut the fuck
33:11
up, you little bitch. And the
33:14
fan says, I thought it was
33:16
a storyline, Kevin. Like, so it
33:18
was like, so like, the fan
33:20
was just saying, like, you're full
33:22
of shit, you're not really injured.
33:24
Which like, like, to the fan's
33:26
point, so did I, so did
33:29
I. They reported it. So I
33:31
thought, okay, WWE was gonna use
33:33
that and turn it into a
33:35
story. Sure. Like, maybe Fightful was
33:37
wrong. And then Kevin Owens is
33:39
gonna say, hey, my neck's injured,
33:41
I can't do it. And then
33:44
I thought later in the show,
33:46
Owens was gonna attack Orton. Yeah,
33:48
you know, right. But that didn't
33:50
happen. Yeah. So Owens is gone.
33:52
For who knows how long. I
33:54
mean, when it's a neck injury,
33:56
that's scary. Or Daniel Bryan was
33:59
the head thing, but still like...
34:01
Obviously Edd had to retire for
34:03
a very long time. Robert Ruud.
34:05
Robert Ruud is retired and
34:07
Owens is up there in age.
34:09
You know? He's like what, 40?
34:11
Right. He's up there. So there's
34:14
a chance that he might not
34:16
come back which he has 40.
34:18
That would suck. It would. But
34:20
you know, imagine if he
34:22
returns at next year's
34:24
Royal Rumble and he's
34:26
fucking jacked. Yep, I'll do
34:28
it. It'd be amazing. But also,
34:31
also. What if it's real? It's
34:33
probably over a year. Maybe. Yeah.
34:35
Rumbled like 27. Yeah. Like,
34:38
wow, Kevin, you're jacked. How
34:40
big are those pythons now?
34:42
Uh-huh. Twenty-two. Twenty-two inches. Yeah.
34:44
Very nice. So that sucks
34:46
that we're not gonna see
34:48
Kevin Owens for a long
34:50
time. Sure does. Wish him
34:52
the best, obviously. But back
34:54
in the ring Nick all
34:56
this tells Orton he no
34:58
longer has the mania match
35:00
so Orton gives all this
35:02
an R. K. O. All
35:04
right all just versus Orton. This
35:06
gonna be as long as this
35:09
was. Yeah, right. Yeah. So who
35:11
does Orton fight at mania? They
35:13
should do what they did with
35:15
Seth Rollins in 2022 with the
35:17
surprise opponents and the
35:19
surprise opponent is the return
35:22
of Rucef. First, you just
35:24
like, it's just like the
35:26
Cody Road Seth thing, Orton
35:29
comes out, and then you just
35:31
hear, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm. Crabbard
35:33
would lose their
35:36
fucking mind. In English,
35:38
Orton would immediately be the
35:40
heel of that. Right. I'm
35:42
glad you didn't say something
35:45
stupid like Alistair Black. Their
35:47
eyes are going to immediately
35:49
be the heel and that.
35:52
Right. Yeah, it's a warden. It's a warden.
35:54
He's put in his time. Yeah. Yeah. He's
35:56
put in in a few things. There are
35:58
reports that Rousaf has signed with them. W.
36:00
E. already. Yes. So please do
36:02
this. I mean, yeah, I look
36:04
through the roster. There's no one
36:06
else. The only other one that's
36:08
a big enough name to fight
36:10
Orton would be Brock Lesner. And,
36:13
you know, certainly before Owens was
36:15
injured, Brock was not part of
36:17
the plans for WrestleMania. Right. But
36:19
maybe they're like, well. You know,
36:21
he's involved in that lawsuit or
36:23
whatever, but let's give him a
36:25
call and see if he wants
36:27
to do it. I don't know.
36:29
What's Sammy Zane? Yeah, but then
36:31
one of them would have to
36:33
turn heel? I don't know. Well,
36:35
it could just be like, you
36:37
know, you're supposed to fight Kevin,
36:39
Kevin can't wrestle, so I'll fight
36:41
in his place. So let's just
36:43
have a friendly match for nothing?
36:45
No, they can build in two
36:47
weeks for seven. Yeah, two weeks.
36:49
Two weeks. Two weeks for seven
36:51
friends. Best friends. Best friends. That
36:53
sounds like, best friends. That sounds
36:56
like A- You can't hang with
36:58
me. Why don't you do this?
37:00
And then Sammy like smacks them
37:02
in the face. So it's like
37:04
a, like what's happening with Seth
37:06
Roman and punk right now. Sure.
37:08
They're all good guys, but they
37:10
kind of hate each other. Like,
37:12
you could create a little hate
37:14
there. And then Sammy does it,
37:16
right? He beats them? No. And
37:18
then goes on to win the
37:20
title? Fack, yeah, I already hit
37:22
the button. So next up, we've
37:24
got Braun Stroman versus Jacob Fattu,
37:26
last monster standing. I hate that.
37:28
United States, they didn't even say
37:30
it, I'm just, no, they didn't,
37:32
but that's why I'm mad at
37:34
you. This is a United States
37:36
championship number one contenders match. Facku
37:39
hits two moon salts early on,
37:41
but Braun rolls out of the
37:43
ring to stand up to beat
37:45
the count. Braun hit Facku at
37:47
the steel steps. He threw him
37:49
into the prime station and then
37:51
flipped him off but they cut
37:53
to black can't show it. It
37:55
is USA I guess. Yeah I
37:57
guess so. Whatever. Stonewood grant all
37:59
over this network. Exactly. Years ago.
38:01
Right. Fattu charged that Braun outside
38:03
the ring but Braun hit him
38:05
with a chair to the head.
38:07
Braun then tackled Fattu through the
38:09
barricade. Braun-suplex Fattu off a crate
38:11
and through some tables. It's always
38:13
that same spot. It's always that
38:15
same spot. Yes, they tackled them
38:17
off this time. It's a suplex
38:19
through a bunch of tables. It's
38:22
a good thing They they keep
38:24
setting those things up right in
38:26
the exact same spot. Yes, and
38:28
but in the middle of the
38:30
match you got it you got
38:32
to know that both guys stink
38:34
Because they're big stinky giant. Yeah,
38:36
so then back in the ring
38:38
Fachu gives Braun the hip attack
38:40
through a table for the win
38:42
as Braun can't get up. He
38:44
can't Do it. All right. So
38:46
this means that they fight once
38:48
more at WrestleMania and then they
38:50
who, yeah, right? Oh, I guess
38:52
not. I mean, even though like,
38:54
Jacob Tattoo's kind of doing this
38:56
weird, like he hates solo, so
38:58
he's kind of not bad bad,
39:00
he's like a good bad. I'm
39:02
like almost wondering if solo costs
39:05
him this title. He's got to
39:07
be Ellie Knight at WrestleMania. I
39:09
mean my god if one thing
39:11
has to happen. It's that Yeah,
39:13
you have to fast-track Fachu Fachu
39:15
is over as fuck like he
39:17
might be a heel but the
39:19
fucking fans love him to death.
39:21
Well if you love him love
39:23
him I would get behind him
39:25
more if he'd quit fighting Braun
39:27
Stroman every fucking done he's easy.
39:29
Yes, are you sure take it
39:31
easy? Take it easy. It's done.
39:33
He's fighting night, he's gonna take
39:35
the belt from him, and then
39:37
Solo's gonna Samo and spike him,
39:39
and then he's, you know, then
39:41
they're gonna fight at whatever the
39:43
fucking next paper is. Backlass? Whatever
39:45
the fuck you guys call it?
39:48
Yeah. Next up, Roman arrives, he
39:50
doesn't say a single word to
39:52
Heyman, he walks out to the
39:54
ring. Chicago acknowledges their tribal chief,
39:56
and this was great because Roman
39:58
was like playing a heel again,
40:00
which he's so much better at,
40:02
like this. He's just the tribal
40:04
chief again, like the asshole that
40:06
he has been. He never changed.
40:08
No. He didn't change a... He
40:10
didn't kill Jay. That's the only
40:12
thing that... change yeah and I
40:14
won't kill my family but like
40:16
even when he came back he
40:18
was being nice to the crowd
40:20
he wasn't shitting on them here
40:22
he shit on them yeah he
40:24
says seampunk wouldn't be back here
40:26
if it wasn't for me seampunk
40:28
wouldn't be in the main event
40:31
of russelmania if it wasn't for
40:33
me And then he mocked Chicago
40:35
with these from the same city
40:37
as me. I have to like
40:39
them. You're good people, you mean
40:41
well, but you're not that smart.
40:43
It's like, I mean, wow. That's
40:45
a heel thing. But I love
40:47
heel Roman more than baby face
40:49
Roman. For sure, for sure. You
40:51
know, even if it is like
40:53
still the same character, just a
40:55
little watered down. It's great, because
40:57
it's basically a heel Seth, a
40:59
heel Roman, and a face punk,
41:01
you know, you know, so it's
41:03
like almost like a two on
41:05
one. So Seth taunts Roman, or
41:07
Seth comes out, he taunts Roman,
41:09
but the fans chant, what's the
41:11
favor? I was doing the same
41:14
thing at home. Sure, I'm sure
41:16
you were. Except with your dick,
41:18
right? What's the favor? I was
41:20
clapping my two dicks together. No,
41:22
like you're jerking it. What's up?
41:24
All right, anyways, so then punk
41:26
comes out and he says this
41:28
is about friendship, promises made, and
41:30
promises kept. This is about loyalty,
41:32
and he tells the story of
41:34
punk, or if Haman telling punk,
41:36
when you main event Russellmania, force
41:38
them to deal with us. Well,
41:40
they aren't here anymore. Poison! So
41:42
I'm gonna force you, my tribal
41:44
chief, to deal with us. because
41:46
at the main event of Russell
41:48
Mania in my corner your wise
41:50
man my best friend Paul Heyman
41:52
and Roman laughs and says that's
41:54
the favor he loves me he
41:57
needs me I saved him even
41:59
if I let him he wouldn't
42:01
he goes wise man let this
42:03
fool down easy and then Heyman
42:05
starts crying And Roman says tell
42:07
him no like a bunch of
42:09
times like are you crying and
42:11
the crowd pop laughed Yeah, right.
42:13
So this is a serious moment
42:15
guys chill tell Don't laugh. But
42:17
Heyman says, no, my tribal chief,
42:19
I can't do that. And I
42:21
love how Seth hates both of
42:23
them. Right. So he's just happy
42:25
at Roman's misery, even though it's
42:27
punk getting one over on Roman.
42:29
Absolutely. This is great. Yeah, fucking
42:31
hate both of you guys. And
42:33
then punk attacks Roman, lays him
42:35
out with a GTS, which. Cell
42:37
of the year, I mean Jesus
42:40
Christ, oh my God, yeah, you
42:42
sell very well He was he
42:44
was like it looks like he
42:46
looks like Peter Griffin fell down
42:48
the stairs Yeah And then punk
42:50
looks at Seth but Seth leaves
42:52
the ring and This was great
42:54
because also like fans were posting
42:56
this clip from 12 years ago
42:58
of Heyman and punk on raw
43:00
where Hammond says I'm gonna walk
43:02
down that aisle with you one
43:04
day when you're in the main
43:06
event of Russell Mania Wow the
43:08
only thing that is not coming
43:10
true there is when you're challenging
43:12
for the WWE championship at WrestleMania.
43:14
How is there not a title
43:16
in this match? Right. I mean
43:18
at least at the very least
43:20
it has to be a number
43:23
one contender match. Just have a
43:25
random like like Gunter Roman match.
43:27
Yeah. Next week. Next week. Takes
43:29
the title. Now that titles are
43:31
for use. Sorry. Sorry. Us. Next
43:33
year. Us. My guess is the
43:35
only reason it's not a number
43:37
one contenders match is because whoever
43:39
is winning. Isn't getting a title
43:41
shots. I guess that's why. But
43:43
it's like, okay, I mean, certainly
43:45
like you said, this is the
43:47
best, Max, this is the best
43:49
story on the WrestleMania card. Right.
43:51
But it does feel like it
43:53
should be for something still. Not
43:55
just the glory of WrestleMania. Not
43:57
just for hate. Right. Or like
43:59
Seth said, the soul or who
44:01
got it. Yeah, later on raw.
44:03
The soul of WW. So that's
44:06
the end of Smackdown. On to
44:08
Monday Night Raw, we open with
44:10
Adam Pierce. And he's got the
44:12
Women's World Championship on display in
44:14
the ring. Oh, let's do this
44:16
again. I need a segment. Yeah,
44:18
let's do this again. I thought
44:20
he was about to like name
44:22
himself the women's champ. I don't
44:24
know what was happening here. Never
44:26
know. I put a hundred thousand
44:28
dollars on Rhea or Bel Air
44:30
pushing Eo in the face. Sure.
44:32
I want a dollar. Yeah, that
44:34
was, I'm surprised you won that
44:36
much. Peterson introduces Eo Skye. She
44:38
comes out looking smoking hot. And
44:40
then there's only one person left
44:42
taking away raw GM. Please welcome
44:44
representing Judgment Day! Rio Ripley! What
44:46
is he an idiot? He's representing
44:49
the Judgment Day. She hasn't been
44:51
part of Judgment Day since August
44:53
of last year. Why would he
44:55
do that? How could he do
44:57
that? How could he do that
44:59
that bad? Well, you know, when
45:01
you say Drew Mac and Fart,
45:03
anything's possible. It's true. That's true.
45:05
I was representing the judgment day.
45:07
Oh, and he said it's so
45:09
slow too. Like, there was never
45:11
a point where your brain went
45:13
wrong and confidently. Yeah. Representing the
45:15
judgment day. Yeah. Yeah, them. I
45:17
said it. Dominic mysterious girlfriend. Balher's
45:20
best friend! Like aneurysm where you just
45:23
go back six months. Yeah, right. That
45:25
was insane. And then even like Cole
45:27
got to roast Pierce for a change.
45:29
Cole was like, oh, what a retard.
45:32
Anyway, some kono, right guys? Right. Well,
45:34
we don't like Adam Pierce. Yeah, right.
45:36
So then mommy comes out looking smoking
45:39
smoking hot and hot. And like with
45:41
the three of them, yeah, sure. I
45:43
was like, E.O. Belair and Ripley might
45:45
be the toughest fuck Mary Kill ever.
45:48
That's a tough one. Especially them in
45:50
this segment, they all looked amazing. Like,
45:52
fucking Bel Air in her, like, black.
45:55
cheerleader outfit, EO with the short shorts,
45:57
and then Ripley was just, you know,
45:59
normal Ripley with her fucking long legs
46:01
and... Braun Panney's match, guys. Let's do
46:04
it. Let's do it. Let's fucking go.
46:06
I'm sure Ripley would be fine with
46:08
it. Sure. You know, that's basically all
46:10
aware. Yeah, right. So that was, I
46:13
mean, yeah, I don't even know what
46:15
I would pick if I had to
46:17
pick right now. Just from that segment
46:20
alone, I was nuts. All right. I'm
46:22
telling you, it's a tough choice. All
46:24
right, kill, uh, Pierce. Can I do
46:26
that? Yes, yes, absolutely do that. Fuck
46:29
Eo and Bel Air in a three
46:31
way. Mary Ripley. I think I like
46:33
that. I like it. Perfect. He was
46:35
there. He was there. He enters the
46:38
equation. Pierce is just... I don't know,
46:40
he's just not who he thinks he
46:42
is. Yeah, he's definitely not fuckable. Because
46:45
he's like, all right, enough. But he's
46:47
like, you know, I booked Bel Air
46:49
to be this special guest referee for
46:51
last week thinking that you three would
46:54
be professional about this, but clearly you
46:56
can't do that. And that's my mistake.
46:58
So he's like shitting on them. Yeah.
47:01
It's like, shouldn't they just all beat
47:03
him up at the same time? You
47:05
bunch of dumb horse. Yeah. And then
47:07
he just announces he's like, he's like,
47:10
he's like. for the title at Mania
47:12
and then Bel Air bitches you know
47:14
she won the chamber but Rhea just
47:16
gets added to the match she signs
47:19
the contract and slams the contract on
47:21
Ripley's tits and then mommy signs it
47:23
throws it back at Bel Air they
47:26
get into it and then Eo gets
47:28
in the middle of them again and
47:30
again they push her face away. But
47:32
after a whole month of this, Eo's
47:35
finally had enough. Finally! And she hits
47:37
Ripley with a missile drop kick which
47:39
knocks her into Bel Air. Right in
47:41
the back. And then Eo signs the
47:44
contract and leaves with her. Flips up.
47:46
Yes, not Kips up, flips up. She
47:48
signs. the contract leaves with her belt
47:51
as Ripley and Belair are dead from
47:53
a drop kick. Yeah, well, fair enough.
47:55
It was a missile. I mean, you
47:57
know, at least the match has a
48:00
chance of being good because it's three
48:02
really good workers. Sure. But like this,
48:04
you know, these segments have been really
48:07
bad. Really bad. Not Charlotte Tiffy bad,
48:09
but you know. Yeah, no. What can
48:11
be. Still pretty bad. Yeah. Next up,
48:13
we've got Bailey versus Lyra Valkeria for
48:16
the Women's Intercontinental Championship. I was not
48:18
looking forward to this, but they surprised
48:20
me and actually had a good match.
48:22
Right. Well, the time, limit of 30
48:25
minutes. How long was this match? Which
48:27
was surprising, because Lyra, Lyra and Bailey
48:29
lately, you know, like, just their matches
48:32
against other people haven't been very good.
48:34
Yeah. But together, they had a pretty
48:36
good match. Right. You know it's a
48:38
good match when... In the middle end,
48:41
you don't know who's gonna win anymore.
48:43
Yeah, sure. I was like, I can
48:45
see Bailey, they just did it with
48:47
one of the other women's titles. I
48:50
can see Bailey picking this up and
48:52
kind of muddying the waters for Wrestleania.
48:54
Yeah, I don't think this is being
48:57
defended at Russellmania. I think Russellmania Smackdown.
48:59
No, because it's not even that, because
49:01
Aldis announced that tag team gauntlet. Yeah.
49:03
And whoever wins that is fighting Liv
49:06
and Rakel. At Mania for the women's
49:08
tag titles and aren't Lyra and Bailey
49:10
a tag team in that gauntlet? Oh
49:13
I have no idea. Lyra is in
49:15
is tagging with someone it has to
49:17
be Bailey because who else would the
49:19
fuck would it be? So yeah Lyra's
49:22
not defending the like IC title. So
49:24
right now we've got 12 matches that
49:26
have been announced. Yeah. And I don't
49:28
think there's any other like, oh this
49:31
is gonna get announced. Like I think
49:33
they've all been kind of public. And
49:35
last year we had 14 matches. Right.
49:38
So there still could be two matches
49:40
left. Now, obviously, K.O. Randy has been
49:42
taken out. So we're down to 12.
49:44
Does Randy get another match? Probably. Of
49:47
course. So Orton versus someone. and then
49:49
we still need maybe one more match.
49:51
I hope they just go with 13.
49:54
Oh, yeah, you know, I mean, it's,
49:56
there's probably, there's always gonna be more.
49:58
Yeah. Again, like the live in Rochelle
50:00
is one. Why not just every year
50:03
for a big title have a ladder
50:05
match? Like there's just so much magic
50:07
in a like a eight guy ladder
50:09
match. Sure. The North American title, the
50:12
Zach Rider win, like, like, right. They're
50:14
always so great. There's just so much
50:16
fucking going going going on and so
50:19
much going on and so much going
50:21
on and so much chaos and so
50:23
much chaos and so much chaos. Yeah.
50:25
Back to the IC title, Lyra had
50:28
a good bump when Bailey knocked her
50:30
off the top rope. Made it look
50:32
like the back of her head hit
50:34
the top turn buckle. That was really
50:37
nice. Then Bailey went for a suicide
50:39
dive, but Lyra jumped back in the
50:41
ring, so Bailey just fell to the
50:44
floor. Then Bailey gave Lyra a belly
50:46
to Billy on the floor. Then Bailey
50:48
put Lyra in the walls. The walls
50:50
of Jericho for a minute. But then
50:53
she went for the rose plant, but
50:55
Lyra countered and one with a... Rollup.
50:57
That was a huge pet peeve of
51:00
mine that she was in the walls.
51:02
She had nowhere to go. Yeah, she's
51:04
about to pass out and then she
51:06
lets it go. They said, uh, well,
51:09
clearly Lyra wasn't gonna tap. So what
51:11
if she passes out? You win. You
51:13
win the title. You know, it was
51:15
just a, it was a rookie mistake
51:18
from Bailey. I don't know. She wins
51:20
her the rollup. But I think the
51:22
only reason why it was a roll
51:25
up was a rollup was because they're
51:27
fucking. is in that fucking gauntlet. It's,
51:29
you know, it's Natalia and Maxine. Even
51:31
Natalia on Raw later was like, really,
51:34
this bitch? And Pierce was like, give
51:36
it a try. Do they beat, live,
51:38
and uh? Probably not. Yeah, because you
51:40
can't have. Valkery is a double champ
51:43
double champ, but it's the tag and
51:45
I see that's not cool. You're like
51:47
it's really not right I'm trying to
51:50
find who the fuck's in this I
51:52
don't care. Lyra offers a handshake Bailey
51:54
slaps or handaway, but then feels bad
51:56
about it and hugs Lyra. Oh yeah,
51:59
I mean I I imagine like potty
52:01
pussy is in it and then all
52:03
those other tag teams, you know, those
52:06
other ones. Yeah, B-Fab and Meechin. I
52:08
love how they said she hasn't won
52:10
in two months and that is by
52:12
far the longest stretch of her career.
52:15
Another just stat we're gonna make up
52:17
for no reason. That was Bailey. Yeah.
52:19
She hasn't won in two months. The
52:21
longest stretch of her entire career. That's
52:24
eight weeks. Sure she had a run
52:26
like that. Right. Then we go backstage
52:28
where Kathy Kelly interviews comedian Bert Chrysler
52:31
because he's got a new special on
52:33
Netflix. Oh, holy fuck. Yeah. Her kids
52:35
are popping out of her shirt. So
52:37
were Bert's. Did she? Ice them nipples.
52:40
I mean, Kathy Kelly always looks great,
52:42
of course. American Maid interrupts though and
52:44
tells Bert that he can watch El
52:46
Grande American American Americano compete tonight, but
52:49
Bert says I didn't come here to
52:51
watch you guys. And then Alpha Academy
52:53
walks up and the Bert Kreisher version
52:56
of a wrestler, Otis, walks up and
52:58
Bert and Otis rip off their shirts
53:00
and then Bert tells Otis, you know,
53:02
the shirt off is, you know, my
53:05
thing, right? But Otis says it's our
53:07
thing now. So he came for Otis?
53:09
Yeah. Did Otis not tell him, I'm
53:12
not doing anything. Doesn't matter. Can you
53:14
come to a city when I'm wrestling?
53:16
Berta? No. But Bert said, you know,
53:18
Bert's like, oh, the shirt off's my
53:21
thing. Oh, this is like, it's our
53:23
thing now. And then all of a
53:25
sudden, you hear like, not so fast,
53:27
dude. Yeah, oh God. Wait a minute,
53:30
brother. That doesn't work for me first.
53:32
Yeah, Jesus. Also backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews
53:34
AJ Stiles. who says he's going to
53:37
embarrass Logan Paul at Mania, but then
53:39
carrying Cross walks up with his AJ
53:41
Stiles hair and he says we need
53:43
the AJ Stiles that's going to get
53:46
the job done because I can't let
53:48
you lose at Mania. If you lose
53:50
we all lose, we need him! Yeah,
53:52
where's this? What? This match isn't even
53:55
for anything. Yeah. And is he good
53:57
guy now? No. What's happening right now?
53:59
AJ says you want another side of
54:02
AJ Styles? I'll give you a taste
54:04
next week and he leaves and then
54:06
Scarlet says I think we got him
54:08
and Cross says 100% we did. Got
54:11
what? I don't know. Guess? Give me
54:13
an Eric. Guess. What does he got?
54:15
Styles is going to fuck Scarlet while
54:18
Cross sits in the cuck chair. Okay.
54:20
Well. This is like the whole Vince
54:22
McMahon with AJ thing. I want to
54:24
see it. I want to see it.
54:27
I want to see it. Show it
54:29
to me. And the member styles punches
54:31
Vince and Vince is like, yeah. I'm
54:33
so stupid. And then Styles just screams.
54:36
And then it led to nothing. Yeah.
54:38
But he just wants to see AJ
54:40
Styles be more aggressive? Okay. What is
54:43
carrying crosses? Like, what is his thing
54:45
in this company now? Cuck. What's his
54:47
thing? I don't understand. What's his point?
54:49
When he came on to talk to
54:52
AJ said carrying cross with Scarlet. Yeah,
54:54
thanks. Yeah, right. Scarlet's just there to
54:56
go. And she's hot, but she's cross-eyed.
54:59
She's always like, oh yeah. Of course.
55:01
All right, thanks to us, Scarlet. I
55:03
see you next time. I just don't
55:05
understand what the point, what the point
55:08
is here. No. What's the point of
55:10
carrying Cross's character to begin with? Was
55:12
he part of the bullet club or
55:14
something? No. I don't know what's happening.
55:17
Like, Cross, we're giving you the stable
55:19
so you could view with the Wyets.
55:21
Well, now we released everyone in the
55:24
stable except for your wife and now...
55:26
I mean, we don't use the Wyets
55:28
anymore. We've got nothing for you to
55:30
do. Yeah, keep doing your hair like
55:33
other people though. Hey Alexa Bliss, welcome
55:35
back, here's a fat new contract, millions
55:37
of dollars. All right, all right, go
55:39
home. We'll call you if we need
55:42
you, but we're not gonna need you.
55:44
Hey, just go have another baby, all
55:46
right? Yeah, it's fine. Hey, get the
55:49
fuck out of you. Go home. You're
55:51
like one of the best women's. Alexa
55:53
Bliss, a made up partner. Yeah, you
55:55
know, it would be better than Charlotte
55:58
and Tiffany is Alexa versus anyone else.
56:00
At least the segments would be better.
56:02
Yeah. How about just have Alexa and
56:05
cross, uh, you know, the girl, um,
56:07
Alexa and Nikki, Nikki. Yeah, like just
56:09
have like, she just brings her out
56:11
as her partner and that's what the,
56:14
we said that last week in rumors
56:16
that that was the plan. But like,
56:18
like, not even the wires, fuck the
56:20
wires. Just bring her out as, as,
56:23
whatever. Oh, like when they were coffee
56:25
best friends? Yeah, whatever, right, exactly. Next
56:27
up, we've got the loser world order
56:30
versus the Creeds and El Grande Americano.
56:32
This was some AW bullshit because we
56:34
had all three members of LWO diving
56:36
out of the ring at the same
56:39
time. And then we had the Creeds
56:41
and Americano doing three superplexes at the
56:43
same time. Dragon League gave El Grande
56:45
a sit-down power bomb, but then Julius
56:48
gave Lee a shooting star press off
56:50
the top rope. Joaquin Wild then jumped
56:52
off Cruz and Julius to dive on
56:55
Brutus outside the ring. Then Ivy Nile
56:57
gave Grande a piece of metal to
56:59
put in his mask. Yeah. And then
57:01
race saw it. So he hopped on
57:04
the apron, but Grande headbudded him. And
57:06
Ray was just trying to say he
57:08
was like, no, you're going to turn
57:11
into Chris Benlaw. Yeah. And then Lee
57:13
tried to take off Grande's mask, which
57:15
is very offensive. It is. It is.
57:17
It is. Right. Especially a good guy.
57:20
He has a lootadore mask himself. Yeah.
57:22
Come on man. So then Grande headbudded
57:24
Lee and then hit a flying headbutt
57:26
for the win. And then backstage, Pierce
57:29
grants Ray a match with El Grande
57:31
at Russell Mania. I imagine it's gonna
57:33
be mask versus mask, right? And then
57:36
Gable will get unmasked. Yeah. Spoiler. Mask
57:38
versus career? I don't want this to
57:40
end in two weeks. It's like, it's
57:42
one of the only interesting things that's
57:45
happening right now. I want to play
57:47
this out a little bit longer. Well,
57:49
they still can, right. Yeah, that's a
57:51
pretty big deal. It should be a
57:54
good match if Ray can keep up.
57:56
Yeah. Next up, Gunther comes out, like,
57:58
what are you doing? And they're like,
58:01
whoa. Or just lose, roll in the
58:03
ring, have some of the guy roll
58:05
out. Yeah, right. But Gable, getting a
58:07
singles match at mania. Yeah, you know,
58:10
that's a pretty big deal. It should
58:12
be a good match if Ray can
58:14
keep up. Yeah. Next up, Gunther comes
58:17
out, sportinging a red tie that was
58:19
made from the blood of Jimmy Uso.
58:21
Did they say that? No. No. That
58:23
they kind of implied it. Yeah, sure.
58:26
Before you could say anything, Jay Uso
58:28
comes out from the crowd, but he's
58:30
not in a yeating mood. No. So
58:32
it was kind of awkward because everyone's
58:35
eating around him and he's like, oh,
58:37
you eat anymore. It's like, fuck your
58:39
eat. Why did he come out from
58:42
the crowd? Right. If he wasn't gonna
58:44
eat. Yeah. So Jay gets in the
58:46
ring. He slats in the ring. He
58:48
slaps. You talked to your mom? Yeah.
58:51
What do y'all talk about? Family stuff?
58:53
How's the wife? What did you eat?
58:55
You sent it all out? Take a
58:58
big dump? You eat again? You poop
59:00
some more? You want to know what
59:02
we talked about this week? You eat?
59:04
Did you eat and your wife? Did
59:07
you eat? Yeah. That sounds good, man.
59:09
That sounds cool. All right, I'll see
59:11
you later. That sounded good. Yeah. You
59:13
know what she asked me? She said,
59:16
why don't you protect him? Joshua! Yeah.
59:18
Who are you? So Joshua says, I
59:20
told her I was afraid of you.
59:23
I never felt so disrespected, pissed off,
59:25
and scared. You made the whole world
59:27
stop. You violated my twin! Must have
59:29
not. You know what I realize? I
59:32
shit my pants! I'm not afraid of
59:34
you, you know more. So before Wrestlemania,
59:36
hug and kiss your family. The night
59:38
before I'm going to pray for you
59:41
and ask the Lord to forgive me
59:43
for what I'm about to become because
59:45
at WrestleMania I'm gonna get you and
59:48
I will take the world heavyweight championship
59:50
and just like Cody I'm not gonna
59:52
fight you because I guess I'm still
59:54
afraid of you right now yeah it's
59:57
like you just murdered your brother and
59:59
you're not gonna you're not gonna hit
1:00:01
him and I prayed to forgive me
1:00:04
for eating on all these children every
1:00:06
single week when I come out here
1:00:08
Jesus sorry well thank you at least
1:00:10
you asked for forgiveness for forgiveness yeah
1:00:13
so jay's gonna do it's gonna happen
1:00:15
You still have doubts after he murdered
1:00:17
Jimmy? No. Yeah. But you did say
1:00:19
you were gonna put Goon through anyway.
1:00:22
I just said, you know, there's always
1:00:24
gonna be a big shock. There always
1:00:26
is. Every year for the last few
1:00:29
years. Sure. If they're gonna do it,
1:00:31
this might be a good one, because
1:00:33
Jay just can't do it. He can't
1:00:35
do it. He's gonna do it. Oh.
1:00:38
Yeah. Next up we've got the New
1:00:40
Day versus the War Raiders for the
1:00:42
tag titles with comedian Tony Hinchcliff on
1:00:44
commentary. Why? Roasting Michael Cole because the
1:00:47
roast of WrestleMania. Oh, and also his
1:00:49
podcast is now on Netflix. Oh, okay.
1:00:51
So they were promoting that? I mean,
1:00:54
he was great. He was like, oh
1:00:56
my God. Bring him on. Yes. You
1:00:58
know what I mean? I thought McAfee
1:01:00
was supposed to be this back in
1:01:03
the day, but McAfee's too popular to
1:01:05
be a deal now? Right. Let Tony
1:01:07
do it, man. Yeah. Oh my God.
1:01:10
He was amazing. He's great. So I've
1:01:12
been watching since the Jurassic era since
1:01:14
the Jurassic era. The first match you
1:01:16
called was David versus Goliath. Yeah, let's
1:01:19
get that ready. Let's get that ready.
1:01:21
Yeah. But they were fighting? Of course.
1:01:23
Well, that's what the rim shots for.
1:01:25
Yeah. Yeah. He says, I love out,
1:01:28
or like, I just, yeah, like, I
1:01:30
love how he was a heel on
1:01:32
commentary. You know, he loves a new
1:01:35
day. He says the week link, Big
1:01:37
E is gone. It's so good. And
1:01:39
then he called Ivar like evil Santa.
1:01:41
He was like, if kids are bad,
1:01:44
Santa brings them coal. If they're really
1:01:46
bad, they get Michael Cole. and Ivar
1:01:48
hit the war machine on Kofi, but
1:01:50
Woods breaks up the pin. Woods brings
1:01:53
in a chair, but Ivar grabs it
1:01:55
from him and hits Woods with it
1:01:57
for the DQ. So New Day wins,
1:02:00
but they don't win the titles. Yeah,
1:02:02
so we gotta do it again. Yeah,
1:02:04
are they saving this for mania? I
1:02:06
don't know. I hope not. After the
1:02:09
match, Kofi hits Ivar with the chair
1:02:11
and then Kofi and Woods whip Eric
1:02:13
headfirst into a chair into a chair
1:02:16
and Tony says, that's what you get
1:02:18
for cheating. He's like Jesse Ventura now.
1:02:20
Yeah. But then they put Eric's head
1:02:22
through the chair and Kofi was about
1:02:25
to jump off the top rope to
1:02:27
murder him, but the refs run out
1:02:29
to put a stop to it. I
1:02:31
mean, look, if the women's tag titles
1:02:34
are getting defended at mania, then one
1:02:36
of the men's will be. Yeah. New
1:02:38
day wins the tag titles at mania
1:02:41
as heels? I mean, probably. Worse things
1:02:43
are gonna happen, so. Yeah. That is
1:02:45
true. Next up, we've got Dirty dumb
1:02:47
versus Penta. Instead of me at all.
1:02:50
Backstage before the match, Balar and Dominic
1:02:52
talk about the fatal four way I
1:02:54
see title match at Mania, Liv says
1:02:57
it doesn't matter which of you win,
1:02:59
right? And Balar is like, of course
1:03:01
not. We've all heard people say that
1:03:03
Dom doesn't have what it takes to
1:03:06
win at Mania. You're not tough enough.
1:03:08
You don't have the killer instinct. You're
1:03:10
a loser. You've got no dick. You've
1:03:12
got no balls. You're a pussy. You
1:03:15
don't even fuck live. Liv. She fucks
1:03:17
you. She fucks you. But tonight you're
1:03:19
going to prove it more wrong. I
1:03:22
believe in you, Dom. And of course,
1:03:24
it's all sarcasm. They all hate each
1:03:26
other. And when will this fucking torture
1:03:28
end of the Judgment Day? I know.
1:03:31
Just when you think they're going to
1:03:33
like maybe break up, like Rea Ripley
1:03:35
joins back. Come on. Fucking a horrible.
1:03:37
That was the new member that Dom
1:03:40
was talking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So Dom.
1:03:42
Fighter fuck already. Come on. One of
1:03:44
them. Dom hits a Mexican destroyer destroyer.
1:03:47
End. End. End. Six One. Six One.
1:03:49
Six One. And Six One. Six One.
1:03:51
Six One. Six One. Six One. Six
1:03:53
One. Six One. Six One. Six One.
1:03:56
Six One. Six One. Six One. Six
1:03:58
One. Six One. Six One. And then
1:04:00
he goes for the frog splash, but
1:04:03
Penta no sold the first two moves
1:04:05
and got his knees up. Of course.
1:04:07
I guess Ballard was right. He's not
1:04:09
good enough. He's not strong enough. No,
1:04:12
no, then broke Dom's arm and hit
1:04:14
the penta driver for the win. So
1:04:16
that's a shame. Yeah, Dom is out
1:04:18
for mania. Right. Broken arm. Sucks. After
1:04:21
the match, Carlito jumps Penta, then Braun
1:04:23
Breaker comes out, runs down the ramp,
1:04:25
and hits Carlito with maybe the best
1:04:28
spear of all time. A hundred percent.
1:04:30
The one on speed was pretty good
1:04:32
in the rumble, though. That was great,
1:04:34
but I mean, but I mean... He
1:04:37
runs down, he just fucking says, fuck
1:04:39
it. He's Superman. If I die, I
1:04:41
die, whatever. He's Superman's him. And then
1:04:43
he did a flip. Yeah. If I
1:04:46
die, I die. When he hit the
1:04:48
spear, I think he speared Carlito's head.
1:04:50
Yeah. I mean, he was nuts. Yeah.
1:04:53
I mean, it was nuts. Like last
1:04:55
week, Goldberg like put out a video
1:04:57
of like all these wrestlers doing the
1:04:59
spear and he was like, doesn't match
1:05:02
the original. Tork! So then Braun got
1:05:04
in the ring, he spears Dom, he
1:05:06
spears Penta, then Ballard attacked Braun from
1:05:09
behind and held up the icy title,
1:05:11
but then Braun got up and went
1:05:13
for the spear, but Ballard rolled out
1:05:15
of the ring. Ooh. Does Braun retain
1:05:18
or does, do they let Penta like
1:05:20
pin Dom or Ballard here? I mean,
1:05:22
you know, I could almost see Ballard
1:05:24
pinning Dom. I don't think so. Sure,
1:05:27
I can see Dom winning this match.
1:05:30
I can't see Balar. I got Dom
1:05:32
or Penta. Yeah, I don't think Braun
1:05:34
You don't put this many people in
1:05:37
a match to leave the title on
1:05:39
him right? Like an excuse to take
1:05:41
it off so that like we're talking
1:05:44
about he can move on to better
1:05:46
things Hopefully, where he can start gearing
1:05:48
up for money in the bank. Yeah,
1:05:50
no, he's got he's a rumble winner.
1:05:53
He's not a money in the bank
1:05:55
winner you think? Yeah, for sure for
1:05:57
sure he's not a cash in guy
1:06:00
He's a rumble winner. Could you just
1:06:02
see him running to the ring a
1:06:04
hundred miles an hour something this spear
1:06:07
and then be like? I'm cashing in.
1:06:09
I get it, but like, when you
1:06:11
are him, like he is the future
1:06:13
face of the company. Okay. Like, that's,
1:06:16
you win the Royal Rumble when you're
1:06:18
that guy. Yeah. You know? That's all
1:06:20
I'm saying. I'm all about it. We'll
1:06:23
see. Next up, we've got an in-ring
1:06:25
promo from Paul Hayman. He says, I
1:06:27
will always be loyal to Roman Reign
1:06:29
and see him punk. But when it
1:06:32
comes to Wrestleomanomanomania, let's get one thing
1:06:34
perfectly clear. Seth Rollins interrupts. He asks,
1:06:36
Heyman, whose side are you on? See
1:06:39
him punk or Roman Reigns. It occurred
1:06:41
to me that you are neither. Roman
1:06:43
Reigns doesn't give a damn about you.
1:06:46
Roman Reigns uses you. When Roman left
1:06:48
after mania, he left you with Solosakoa.
1:06:50
How did that work out? Did Roman
1:06:52
Reigns come rescue you? He left you
1:06:55
to get massacred in your hometown in
1:06:57
front of your children. Did see him
1:06:59
punk rescue you? Rescue you? And then
1:07:02
he reminds Heyman, you know, Seampunk wasn't
1:07:04
the first choice for war games. I
1:07:06
was, stop me when I'm telling lies,
1:07:08
which was... Oh my god! Wasn't exactly
1:07:11
the same, because... Punk said, tell me
1:07:13
when I'm telling lies, not to stop
1:07:15
me, but saying... Yeah, obviously he was
1:07:18
trying to do the same thing. It
1:07:20
was still great. It was good. He
1:07:22
says, did Punk help you, because he
1:07:25
was your friend? No, he was your
1:07:27
friend. You're in a tough spot. If
1:07:29
only there is a way to remove
1:07:31
you from the situation, I would take
1:07:34
it as a privilege to remove you
1:07:36
from the situation right now. It'll be
1:07:38
quick, one quick stomp, and it's all
1:07:41
over, man. Nobody's here to save you.
1:07:43
Roman's not here. Punk's not here. To
1:07:45
make friends. He's here to make money.
1:07:47
How much are you worth, Paul? He
1:07:50
pushes Paul. Slaps him in the face.
1:07:52
What the fuck's going on? Then Haman
1:07:54
yells, Don't put your damn hands on
1:07:57
me! Wow. And then Seth says, thank
1:07:59
you. And he pushes Haman. into the
1:08:01
corner. Pretty
1:08:05
heelish. I'll just say that much. I'm
1:08:07
gonna say this pretty heelish. I'm gonna
1:08:10
predict something I'm gonna predict Paul ends
1:08:12
up going with Seth. Really? Wow, that's
1:08:14
interesting. I'm calling it right now. I'm
1:08:16
calling it right now. Wow, where did
1:08:19
you hear that one? I don't know
1:08:21
interesting I don't know where did you
1:08:23
hear that one? I don't know interesting
1:08:26
I just came up with it. He
1:08:28
can go against both. Yeah, right, because
1:08:30
then he's not choosing one. Yeah, he's
1:08:32
aligning with Seth. I think so. So
1:08:35
does Seth win this match? I guess
1:08:37
it's a matter. If you're doing it
1:08:39
in the match, then he has to,
1:08:42
right? Yeah, Paul hands him a chair
1:08:44
or something. Like, imagine, like, first, Hayman,
1:08:46
low blows punk. And then Roman's like,
1:08:48
yeah, that's my wise man, let's go.
1:08:51
I knew you loved me. and then
1:08:53
fucking low blows Roman to something yeah
1:08:55
right right what was the last time
1:08:57
he turned on someone because it's been
1:09:00
a while yeah it has been a
1:09:02
while punk is true maybe because he
1:09:04
never really turned on Brock Brock just
1:09:07
left and he went with Roman they
1:09:09
had to make a well Sophie's choice
1:09:11
he did go back with Brock for
1:09:13
like a month but that was because
1:09:16
Roman beat him up turned on him
1:09:18
right yeah right yeah but then why
1:09:20
did he go back to Roman Because
1:09:23
Roman came back and took him back.
1:09:25
Because Brock left again. Yeah. Right. So
1:09:27
that was great. So he looks, he's
1:09:29
about to beat the fuck out of
1:09:32
Haman, but then see him, punk comes
1:09:34
out, he tackles Seth. They brawl outside
1:09:36
the ring. Punk tried to curb stomp
1:09:39
Seth on the steps, but Seth slid
1:09:41
back in the ring. Punk follows him,
1:09:43
but Seth lays him out with a
1:09:45
curb stomp. That was nice. And then
1:09:48
Haman checked on punk. and Seth acted
1:09:50
like he was going to curb stomp
1:09:52
Hayman but then he stopped himself and
1:09:54
Seth tells Hayman now you owe me
1:09:57
a favor. I like the line. Yeah,
1:09:59
I don't like that. It's like oh
1:10:01
wait a minute another favor. Is it
1:10:04
gonna be a favor that he burns
1:10:06
or something? That wouldn't make any sense.
1:10:08
Well, is it too? I mean, is
1:10:10
it too obvious that it seems like
1:10:13
came in joining after this segment? But
1:10:15
I still loved it. I love to
1:10:17
listen. But I mean, they certainly do
1:10:20
that plenty of times where it's like,
1:10:22
you know, you could see it coming
1:10:24
and here it comes, right? Foreshadowing is
1:10:26
the great. But also sometimes they do
1:10:29
it to trick you to think something's
1:10:31
happening one way and doesn't as well.
1:10:33
Yeah. It's interesting. Anything can happen in
1:10:35
this main event. That's the thing. Yeah.
1:10:38
Because really it is for nothing, but
1:10:40
really I guess it's just for Paul
1:10:42
Hammond's love. That's what they're all fighting
1:10:45
for. Right. His love and admiration. But
1:10:47
it seems like if he goes with
1:10:49
Seth and it is a heel turn,
1:10:51
then it'll still be like... It'll still
1:10:54
be like, it'll be similar to the
1:10:56
Roman-Haman relationship where Seth is bullying Heyman
1:10:58
into like, you know, you're my bitch.
1:11:01
Yeah. Not like a punk situation where
1:11:03
it's like, you're my friend. Yeah. I
1:11:05
think it's funny that week to week,
1:11:07
that bet keeps going back and forth.
1:11:10
Yeah. I don't think it's happening. I'm
1:11:12
like, it's for sure happening at Russell
1:11:14
Media. I guess we'll see what happens
1:11:16
next week. Yeah. Yeah, they're not gonna
1:11:19
burn it before WrestleMania. No way. I
1:11:21
know, but like. Yeah, because you still
1:11:23
have to have the image of Heyman
1:11:26
walking out with punk. And you needed
1:11:28
this because there was no way to
1:11:30
prove Seth turned heel if he's just
1:11:32
beating the fuck out of punk with
1:11:35
a chair. But if Heyman joined Seth,
1:11:37
that's a that's a full heel turn
1:11:39
of course. Yeah. And I mean, that's
1:11:42
the thing is like, Heyman's never a
1:11:44
baby face manager for long. No. No.
1:11:46
That's where like Roman just has to
1:11:48
just be Roman again and just be
1:11:51
a dickhead because it doesn't work any
1:11:53
other way. Yeah. But that's the end
1:11:55
of raw, I mean really good closing
1:11:58
segments to both shows. Definitely. Just because
1:12:00
the stars of the fucking company, the
1:12:02
real stars. Not Cody blows not that
1:12:04
guy the real stars seeing punk Seth
1:12:07
Rollins and Roman rains doing a fantastic
1:12:09
job to sell their Russell
1:12:11
Mania main event match.
1:12:13
Yeah Bravo gentlemen
1:12:15
Bravo Let's give some awards.
1:12:18
Yep Who would you have
1:12:20
his worst dress just kidding
1:12:22
Charlotte Flair sweep it best rest
1:12:24
I had Eo, Eo, Skye. I
1:12:26
had Kathy Kelly's tits, specifically. I
1:12:28
had a really hard time. I
1:12:30
had a very hard time as
1:12:32
well. I was also hard. I
1:12:35
was so hard. I was, it
1:12:37
was, I was so hard. But
1:12:39
then I, the time was so
1:12:41
hard. So proud. Then I jacked
1:12:43
it and Eo one. Eo, just
1:12:45
because of the booty shorts. It
1:12:47
was like, you know what? Booty
1:12:49
shorts. What have we ever seen
1:12:51
Eo? We ever seen Eo and Eo.
1:12:53
Absolutely, yeah, she looked amazing. It was
1:12:56
the heart of times, it was the
1:12:58
hardest of times. If you give me
1:13:00
a minute, I might change my mind,
1:13:02
I just got to go to the
1:13:04
restroom. Yeah. Worst acting. I went with
1:13:06
Charlotte. Charlotte was bad. Charlotte was bad.
1:13:08
And I hate Charlotte more than Stratton,
1:13:10
but Stratton was worse. Okay, well, I
1:13:13
just can't stand the way she delivers
1:13:15
her lines. It looks like her first
1:13:17
fucking lesson in promo class where it's
1:13:19
like, go ahead try. She needs a
1:13:22
lot of work, got it. Joe right,
1:13:24
I'm gonna go Jayuso Okay, it's
1:13:26
just not ready, and he's
1:13:28
just so I just hated
1:13:30
how he delivered his lines
1:13:32
Okay, his brother just got
1:13:35
beat to a pup. He's like you
1:13:37
talked to your mom You do he
1:13:39
he says do you have a mom?
1:13:41
Does she love you? Do you have a
1:13:43
mom? Do you have a mom? And he
1:13:45
goes. Do you have a mother? Yeah
1:13:47
Oh, oh sorry gee is that the
1:13:50
only thing you understand you
1:13:52
got a mommy Yeah, best
1:13:54
acting punk this was crazy
1:13:56
because first it was
1:13:58
punk because of Smackdown. And
1:14:01
then Seth's promo to Hayman. I
1:14:03
mean, so fucking good. I went
1:14:05
Seth. I went Seth. It takes
1:14:07
a lot to beat punk in
1:14:09
this category. Let me tell you.
1:14:12
Yeah. Worse comments? Charlotte correcting Tiffany
1:14:14
Stratton, because Tiffany said like, oh,
1:14:16
you're just a Nepo baby. And
1:14:18
Charlotte's like, Nepo Queen. That was
1:14:20
awful. What the fuck? That was
1:14:23
awful. That was awful. That was
1:14:25
awful. No. Yeah, Charlotte did Kaiser's
1:14:27
and my D.M.'s I guess because
1:14:29
I mean, why would he? Because
1:14:31
he's terrible. Yeah, so he's definitely
1:14:33
not. Best comment. This was very
1:14:36
tough because Seth Rollins was just
1:14:38
fucking spitting line after line after
1:14:40
line. Yeah. I mean, I guess
1:14:42
if I had to boil it
1:14:44
down like him saying like, did
1:14:47
Roman come save you from... We
1:14:49
left you with solo. I mean
1:14:51
that whole thing, like they're not
1:14:53
your friends. I know, it was
1:14:55
great. It was amazing. Because he
1:14:58
had a lot of great points.
1:15:00
Yeah, yeah, obviously honorable mention to
1:15:02
kill Tony in some of his
1:15:04
lines. Yes, sure, which is great.
1:15:06
Yes, worst match. B Fab versus
1:15:09
Naomi. That is correct. Double down.
1:15:11
They always got to get to
1:15:13
nine every fucking time. Right, it
1:15:15
made it so slow. That's true.
1:15:17
I'll go with that. Best match.
1:15:19
Bailey? Yeah. Bailey versus Lyra. I
1:15:22
agree. That's Gracie. I know. That's
1:15:24
the shocker. Worse move. Bee Fab's
1:15:26
punches and forearms. Pretty bad. I
1:15:28
had Bailey letting go of the
1:15:30
walls of Jericho. Yeah. I was
1:15:33
gonna let this go. I had
1:15:35
Naomi's new finisher. The code breaker.
1:15:37
The code breaker. The shitty code
1:15:39
breaker. Best move super spear sweeping
1:15:41
mega spear mega spear mega spear.
1:15:44
Yeah, make an ultra spear big
1:15:46
dick spear cock slap spear death
1:15:48
to Carly Yeah, yeah, that could
1:15:50
be move of the year worst
1:15:52
moment finding out Kevin Owens is
1:15:55
injured Well if it's real for
1:15:57
sure that's a horrible moment, but
1:15:59
it's got to be flare and
1:16:01
tiffy Of course, I mean, I
1:16:03
must stick with Kevin Flayed Stratton.
1:16:05
I'm legit worried Yeah, but like
1:16:08
I know it was but Kevin
1:16:10
delivered a great speech like it's
1:16:12
not like the segment was bad.
1:16:14
It was just bad news if
1:16:16
you're crying that creates emotion. We're
1:16:19
not it's not like Worst real-life
1:16:21
moment. Yeah, we go to Kevin
1:16:23
Owens, but this is a TV
1:16:25
show. Well, were you crying when
1:16:27
Tony Stark died? Of course. Was
1:16:30
that horrible? Yeah. Horrible. No, it's
1:16:32
great movie watching. Yeah, best moment.
1:16:34
No, Cody Rhodes. Yeah, all right.
1:16:36
Just kidding, the end of raw.
1:16:38
End of raw. Yeah, I said
1:16:41
in Heyman. Uh-huh. Absolutely. Bada-bing? Bada-boo.
1:16:43
Yeah. Okay. All right, so let's
1:16:45
get to some breaking news. So
1:16:47
Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, and the
1:16:49
WWE have all filed motions to
1:16:51
dismiss the lawsuit brought by five
1:16:54
former WWF ringboys alleging abuse in
1:16:56
the 1980s. The suit was filed
1:16:58
in Maryland, and all three parties
1:17:00
argue that the case should be
1:17:02
dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction.
1:17:05
Their filings claim none of the
1:17:07
plaintiffs are from Maryland, and that
1:17:09
WWE Vince and Linda. lack significant
1:17:11
ties to the state. So they're
1:17:13
not even saying like, win. We
1:17:16
had nothing to do with this.
1:17:18
Just like, wrong state, idiots. Yeah,
1:17:20
basically. What the fuck? That's done.
1:17:22
Wow. So we'll see where that
1:17:24
goes. It's just interesting that for
1:17:27
now, Vin still does have some
1:17:29
ties to WWE. Again, he still
1:17:31
has some stock in TKO still.
1:17:33
Yeah. But anybody can buy stock.
1:17:35
I'm never selling the rest. I've
1:17:37
got eight billion dollars where I
1:17:40
need. Ten billion. I'm 10 billion.
1:17:42
That's a good idea. I can
1:17:44
buy AW tomorrow. I can shit
1:17:46
on as many women as I
1:17:48
want with 8 billion. I can
1:17:51
do that with... what I've got
1:17:53
right now. Also, Sorea recently told
1:17:55
Russell Zone that she hasn't spoken
1:17:57
with WWE about returning yet, but
1:17:59
she's still interested and teased doing
1:18:02
a future Royal Rumble or Elimination
1:18:04
Chamber appearance. I mean, is she
1:18:06
healthy? I don't know, that's the
1:18:08
question. Yeah. Like, she's has a
1:18:10
book tour right now and she's
1:18:13
like, I'm focused on my book
1:18:15
toll page, hey. You know, all
1:18:17
that stuff, so. Why would AJ
1:18:19
Lee not want to at least
1:18:21
be like, like she was a
1:18:23
manager at one manager at one
1:18:26
point? or a GM or whatever.
1:18:28
Like why not do that again?
1:18:30
If you can't wrestle. Because I
1:18:32
mean, Adam Pierce is there. You
1:18:34
gonna take his job? Yeah. Guy's
1:18:37
too good. Belize. That's all I've
1:18:39
got for new, so let's get
1:18:41
to rumors. Rumors! Vince McMahon gets
1:18:43
kicked out for sex allegations? That
1:18:45
happened! But then he returns and
1:18:48
takes back the company? He did
1:18:50
that! And then Vince sells the
1:18:52
company but stays in power? Oh
1:18:54
my gosh! And then Vince dies
1:18:56
his hair black and has a
1:18:59
stupid mustache? Gunverb! Fyful says pitches
1:19:01
were made for Becky Lynch to
1:19:03
appear at Russellmania, but nothing ended
1:19:05
up coming into fruition. That's the
1:19:07
big question is... I bullshit. When
1:19:10
is Becky Lynch coming back? Yes.
1:19:12
Still don't know. We need you,
1:19:14
Becky, we need you on Smackdown.
1:19:16
Go take that belt, please. Because
1:19:18
my God. How could she find
1:19:20
her way into that? No, I
1:19:23
don't think that's gonna happen. Yeah.
1:19:25
But hopefully she comes back soon.
1:19:27
You know, raw after mania, who
1:19:29
knows? Also, PWM Center says, Kairi
1:19:31
Sain is very close to being
1:19:34
cleared for return, as well as
1:19:36
JD McDonah. Oh no. Really? I
1:19:38
thought his was like a long-term
1:19:40
thing. At the time, they only
1:19:42
said a couple months. So, fair
1:19:45
enough. Yeah, we'll see there. Also,
1:19:47
Dave Meltzer says he was given
1:19:49
the impression that Lana will not...
1:19:51
be returning to WWE with Rusef.
1:19:53
It's probably the smart play because
1:19:56
like everything they did like obviously
1:19:58
when Rusef and Lana first got
1:20:00
up to the main roster it
1:20:02
was great. Lana was you know
1:20:04
the Russian woman Rusef Grash but
1:20:06
then it just went off the
1:20:09
rails with the I'm fucking Lashley
1:20:11
and now I lost the accent
1:20:13
and all this shit yeah like
1:20:15
we don't need to do that
1:20:17
again. She did a great actress
1:20:20
but when she was the Russian
1:20:22
it was good yeah. And then
1:20:24
Fightful says Kelly Kelly has signed
1:20:26
a legends deal with W.E. So
1:20:28
maybe we'll be seeing. I want
1:20:31
to. And the girls and the
1:20:33
boys and the girls and the
1:20:35
girls and the girls and the
1:20:37
boys. Exactly how that goes. It's
1:20:39
a great song. It's a great
1:20:42
song. Yeah. I listen to it
1:20:44
every day. That's all I've got
1:20:46
for rumors. So it's time for
1:20:48
the Mark reports. You
1:21:02
got this Tony. Come on. With
1:21:04
your host, Eric. Yeah, you got
1:21:06
it. Slam and tin. Flaming tin!
1:21:09
Shut the fuck off. Enough! Like
1:21:11
eight weeks in a row, he's
1:21:13
got it wrong. Yeah, she's crazy.
1:21:15
I've paid him so much fucking
1:21:18
money. What's your total up to
1:21:20
now? At least like $25. Okay.
1:21:22
I self to make that button.
1:21:24
Yeah. Take it away, Eric. All
1:21:26
right. So. Let's see, first thing
1:21:29
I got, remember Bailey's biggest fan
1:21:31
from Annex C? Is he? Oh
1:21:33
yeah, she's a wrestler now, right?
1:21:35
She is, and she has been
1:21:38
invited to WWED's tryouts in Las
1:21:40
Vegas. Sure. The Girl Hood dream.
1:21:42
Yeah, the Girl Hood dream. She
1:21:44
tweeted BFS, we did it. Oh
1:21:46
my God, thank you so much
1:21:49
WWED for this opportunity. See you
1:21:51
in Las Vegas. Okay, I want
1:21:53
to say she was champion of
1:21:55
Thunder Rosa's wrestling promotion. Jesus Christ.
1:21:58
So I guess her family relocated
1:22:00
to Texas or something? Okay. Okay,
1:22:02
what else? Eric and Tony. Go
1:22:04
ahead. Also, according to Russell votes.
1:22:06
Super reliable wrestle votes. Of course.
1:22:09
It looks like Alister Black may
1:22:11
be Randy Orton's WrestleMania opponent. I
1:22:13
mean, I don't like that. That's
1:22:15
not big enough. Yeah. If you
1:22:18
have Rousaf, how do you not
1:22:20
do Rousaf? Because you haven't been
1:22:22
promoting Rousaf. F-F-K-K-S-He's a big enough
1:22:24
name to be a surprise. Alister
1:22:27
Black's not a big enough name
1:22:29
for mania. I'm sorry. He's not
1:22:31
a- He's getting R-K-O-D, if it's
1:22:33
Alistair Black. Welcome back, dead. Hey,
1:22:35
welcome back, you did. Yeah, he'll
1:22:38
beat Alistair. You have to. You
1:22:40
got something else? Uh, no, that's
1:22:42
actually all I have this week.
1:22:44
Okay? Okay. Okay. This is how
1:22:47
I get through the Mark report.
1:22:49
It's so good. I mean, because
1:22:51
it's, mine, I'm doing such a
1:22:53
bad job. You know? Like, you're
1:22:55
like, oh, the Bailey girl, like
1:22:58
you're talking about- Did you not
1:23:00
listen to anything in my report?
1:23:02
Eric, I love your report. It
1:23:04
has- it's created such wonderful sound
1:23:07
bites as- Oh, I'm not ready.
1:23:09
A freaking mark. Yeah, it's fine.
1:23:11
Okay? Without the Mark Port, we
1:23:13
wouldn't have that. It's amazing. I
1:23:15
know. It's like one of the
1:23:18
best favorite parts of the show
1:23:20
now. Now we're gonna do a
1:23:22
cameo for you. record board, Eric,
1:23:24
slammel him, handle them. Am I
1:23:27
in W? Am I in? No.
1:23:29
I didn't try out. They said,
1:23:31
get the fuck out of here.
1:23:33
Why are you here? I don't
1:23:36
get out in the wrong thing.
1:23:38
I didn't try out and they
1:23:40
looked at me and said, dude,
1:23:42
fucking mark. Yeah, of course. Yeah,
1:23:44
of course. All right, trivia time.
1:23:47
Yes, I do want to thank
1:23:49
Carolyn Holly last week for the
1:23:51
trivia. I don't think I've mentioned
1:23:53
it, but Bobby the mark is
1:23:56
pulling it up for this week.
1:23:58
The question is, Jay Uso. Well,
1:24:00
probably not main event. WrestleMania, even
1:24:02
though he won the Royal Rumble.
1:24:04
He's not. Who is the last
1:24:07
Royal Rumble winner to not main
1:24:09
event? Bailey. Men, sorry. Men, men.
1:24:11
Okay. No, I got that one.
1:24:13
Obviously. Alberto Del Rio? No. No,
1:24:16
it's been, it's been more recent
1:24:18
than that. Correct. Okay, so was
1:24:20
Cody last two years and he
1:24:22
main evented. Who was before Cody?
1:24:25
I think I know. You want
1:24:27
to just say it or yeah,
1:24:29
shamus? No, it's way more. I'm
1:24:31
tell it's way more reason way
1:24:33
more reason who? Okay, so Brock
1:24:36
Lesner, main evented. Okay, okay, and
1:24:38
then 2021 was edge and he
1:24:40
main evented. 2020 was Drew McIntyre
1:24:42
and he main evented COVID-mania. Seth
1:24:45
Rollins 2019. That was 2019. Yeah.
1:24:47
Yeah. All right. Is that the
1:24:49
Rollins? Yeah, I did it. Teamwork.
1:24:51
Teamwork. Yeah, we did it. We
1:24:53
did it. Huh. Why did you
1:24:56
wipe your hand? I don't know.
1:24:58
You're like, and I got news
1:25:00
for you. Yeah, Eric. You're a
1:25:02
freaking mark. Okay. I think I
1:25:05
haven't, I won in a while,
1:25:07
so that was good. He set
1:25:09
me too, but the other one
1:25:11
I'll use for next week because
1:25:13
it's really good. All right. It's
1:25:16
all right. No, it's good. It's
1:25:18
good. It's good. All right. Let's
1:25:20
do some fan questions. Holkogan's brother.
1:25:22
Brother. Did my biggest fan, Eric
1:25:25
cover the Mark report about Carl
1:25:27
Anderson saying he's worried Kevin Owens
1:25:29
will get fired after his injury
1:25:31
since it happened to Carl himself?
1:25:34
Man, first Eric worries about Kevin
1:25:36
getting in trouble with Trish. Now
1:25:38
Carl is worried he's gonna get
1:25:40
fired. Who's the bigger mark? Yeah,
1:25:42
you're not Kevin Owens, Carl Anderson.
1:25:45
Yeah. So, yeah. They just resigned
1:25:47
him for five years. I don't
1:25:49
think they're gonna fire him. Right.
1:25:51
There's pit sweat. Oos was scared,
1:25:54
but he's not scared anymore? How
1:25:56
can you guys not love this
1:25:58
guy? He's kind of like Kevin
1:26:00
McAllister yelling at home alone. You
1:26:02
hear that? I'm not afraid anymore!
1:26:05
Then the old man walks up
1:26:07
and Kevin runs away screaming. Victor
1:26:09
Castillo, have you noticed Jay Uso's
1:26:11
physique lately? No wonder he botched
1:26:14
the over-the-top rope dive. Gravity had
1:26:16
to work harder. Ooh. But in
1:26:18
all seriousness, another reason to not
1:26:20
take Jay seriously, he should be
1:26:22
in the best shape for Wrestlemania.
1:26:25
That's a good point. He was
1:26:27
never in great shape though. I
1:26:29
mean, it's not like he ever
1:26:31
had like abs. Yeah. He always
1:26:34
just kind of had that body.
1:26:36
He didn't have like the baller
1:26:38
obs. We've got, yeah. Just a
1:26:40
quick sidebar for the trivia as
1:26:43
I'm kind of reading more into
1:26:45
the question. The question was, when
1:26:47
was the last time a Royal
1:26:49
Rumble winner didn't main event a
1:26:51
Wrestle-mania? The 2019 would be wrong
1:26:54
if you included the women because
1:26:56
Becky won a main event in
1:26:58
Wrestle-mania that year. So when was
1:27:00
the last time a Royal Rumble
1:27:03
winner didn't? Oh. If you want
1:27:05
to kind of throw in a
1:27:07
little sidebar to the trivia. Okay,
1:27:09
include the women Oh Oh You're
1:27:11

1:27:40
okay versus you know who are
1:27:43
you All right, clearly, two are
1:27:45
you. That's the finals, I think
1:27:47
you just did. Again, in the
1:27:49
finals? It's one of the, it's
1:27:52
probably the most pressed one. Yeah.
1:27:54
It was the first button. I
1:27:56
know, but we've added some real
1:27:58
gems on there. Sure. B. Sands,
1:28:00
not a question, but a fun
1:28:03
fact in a rumor. Bobby Rude
1:28:05
produced the LWO match. Well, someone's
1:28:07
gotta do it. Yeah. Don't remind
1:28:09
me of how Rude is a
1:28:12
backstage, Kevin. It's not so bad.
1:28:14
And they let you keep your
1:28:16
wrestler contract? No, no, no. The
1:28:18
From Undertaker. I think it's time
1:28:20
for a new Russell fight episode
1:28:23
only with a twist. Andrew and
1:28:25
Josh debating blow jobs with Joe
1:28:27
or Eric as the moderator. Yeah,
1:28:29
I think I'll win that one
1:28:32
easily. How could you even talk
1:28:34
about blow jobs if you never
1:28:36
had one? That's true, right. All
1:28:38
right, Andrew, what is your favorite
1:28:41
part of a blow job? All
1:28:43
right, Josh, your rebuttal. Exactly. I
1:28:45
don't like him. Tits, well, no,
1:28:47
that's a tit job, Josh, that's
1:28:49
different. I wonder if he's had
1:28:52
a tit job, we should ask
1:28:54
him. Long dung Silver, after watching
1:28:56
Smackdown, my wife decided she wants
1:28:58
to be Charlotte Flair for Halloween
1:29:01
this year. Oh, very scary. That's
1:29:03
horrifying. Yeah, that's horrifying. Yeah. Drew
1:29:05
Doshi, I know you guys didn't
1:29:07
like the London crowd, but when
1:29:09
they charged us the equivalent of
1:29:12
$350 for average seats to watch,
1:29:14
potty-pussy versus Piper Niven, you better
1:29:16
believe we're going to sing like
1:29:18
crazy. Fair point. Fair enough. Good
1:29:21
enough. Yeah. Omar, Kathy was looking
1:29:23
sexy as fuck like always, but
1:29:25
Eo Sky was the babe that
1:29:27
officially gave me rock hard. Oh,
1:29:29
wow. She bring great honor to
1:29:32
my boner. This is like Borat
1:29:34
rotis. She bring a great honor
1:29:36
to my boner. P.S. Eric, did
1:29:38
you bring the zip ties? Ah
1:29:41
shit, I forgot. Oh my God,
1:29:43
I was preparing for it. Oh
1:29:45
really? I was warming up my
1:29:47
wrist. Just doing all kinds of
1:29:50
stuff. Yeah, all sorts of exercises.
1:29:52
Yeah, stack of dives. You call
1:29:54
a neck. Fun fact, Japanese women
1:29:56
are winless at WrestleMania. All time.
1:29:58
That's probably true. That's probably true.
1:30:01
That's probably true. That's probably true.
1:30:03
That's probably true. Did Oscar and
1:30:05
Kairi retain? Never. I don't think
1:30:07
so. Never. Like a tag belt?
1:30:10
No. That sounds about right. Yeah.
1:30:12
Amir. How much would it take
1:30:14
for y' y'all to take? Braun
1:30:16
breaker. I mean, it's not real.
1:30:18
You're taking a bump on the,
1:30:21
on the aisle, so that the
1:30:23
floor's real. Yeah. So that, you
1:30:25
know what I mean? Or is
1:30:27
it? How much? Like, I get
1:30:30
paid? Yeah. A Carlito salary? Is
1:30:32
that good? 500 bucks? Yeah. Yeah.
1:30:34
James A. Just Tiffany versus Charlotte,
1:30:36
the 2025 version of Sean versus
1:30:38
Brett, because they both fucking hate
1:30:41
each other in real life. Yeah,
1:30:43
except the only differences, you know,
1:30:45
Sean and Brett were, oh, Sean
1:30:47
and Brett, like two of the
1:30:50
best ever. And their segments were
1:30:52
still amazing, despite hating each other,
1:30:54
where this is dog shit. Do
1:30:56
they really hate each other? I
1:30:59
don't know. I feel like those
1:31:01
reports were blown way out of
1:31:03
proportion. Yeah. Like I don't think,
1:31:05
I think they were both. a
1:31:07
little bamboozled by the crowd hating
1:31:10
this whole segment. Yeah. And Charlotte
1:31:12
went off script with, I can't
1:31:14
hear you. And she's clearly talking
1:31:16
over Tiffany, because Tiffany's struggling through
1:31:19
her. promo and then the squeaky
1:31:21
squeaky bowl. Yeah, it was all
1:31:23
just bad. And the squeakies. Yeah.
1:31:25
Captain NDA, I really hope they
1:31:27
at least put Kevin Owens on
1:31:30
commentary for Orton's match. Maybe if
1:31:32
he can safely do it, still
1:31:34
have Orton give him the pun
1:31:36
kick yet. That's not happening. Jesus.
1:31:39
Yeah. It's his neck. It's a
1:31:41
stupid neck. I mean, the other
1:31:43
thing is like, you know, give
1:31:45
him some time off. had like
1:31:47
Jim Cornett has a great saying
1:31:50
how do we miss you if
1:31:52
you never go away if you're
1:31:54
injured for real go away don't
1:31:56
do commentary for you know right
1:31:59
right the rizzler with exception of
1:32:01
Cody's title I can't think of
1:32:03
any other title that has relevance
1:32:05
I don't even know if Cody's
1:32:08
does anymore true and don't get
1:32:10
me started on any of the
1:32:12
women's belts yeah it's it's a
1:32:14
good point yeah Don't get me
1:32:16
started. Mr. Milkshake, does Jesse the
1:32:19
Mine know how Joker got his
1:32:21
scars? I don't know, it's interesting.
1:32:23
That's a toughie. On the spot?
1:32:25
That's a tough one on the
1:32:28
spot, for sure. You know, McMahon,
1:32:30
you know, how he got those
1:32:32
scars in the movie Batman? Oh,
1:32:34
why don't you tell me? Jesse?
1:32:36
You know, they didn't use makeup.
1:32:39
They actually carved his face up.
1:32:41
So you didn't see his face
1:32:43
on the speech. Oh, okay, that's
1:32:45
enough for you, Jesse. Jesus Christ.
1:32:48
Jesus Christ, go back to bed.
1:32:50
We never went to the moon.
1:32:52
Okay, we'll be right back on
1:32:54
Monday Night Raw. We never really
1:32:57
made a Batman movie. Jesse, what
1:32:59
the fuck. Whopper, whopper, whopper. That's
1:33:01
right. Boston Sider, I'm sure you
1:33:03
guys already mentioned it, but can

I get an extra Jake the
1:33:08
Snake for Eo Skye backing out
1:33:10
of the entrance ramp? Love the
1:33:12
pod, keep up, the great work.
1:33:14
Boston. And we're keeping something up.
1:33:17
Oh, hey, didn't see you there.
1:33:19
Push Fireberry, add one more to
1:33:21
the triple threat at Mania, and
1:33:23
make it a number one contender
1:33:25
match. Drew Orton Sammy. Well, if
1:33:28
you're gonna add anyone, it's Drew.
1:33:30
He's the one that makes the
1:33:32
most sense in that story. For
1:33:34
sure. Yeah, because he hates punk
1:33:37
and all that. Yeah. Push Drew.
1:33:39
Barry Orton, Fire Sammy. Yeah, sure.
1:33:41
Pop culture junkie this year's WrestleMania
1:33:43
build-up feels very underwhelming with Vince
1:33:45
Gahn. How did we end up
1:33:48
with such a mess for most
1:33:50
of it? If not the entire
1:33:52
card. I think this should be
1:33:54
an example to go back to
1:33:57
one night. I mean, my God,
1:33:59
yeah. Yeah. Final match for a
1:34:01
Rumble winner versus the WWE champion,
1:34:03
no more than eight matches total,
1:34:06
and all must have reasons to
1:34:08
be a mania match. Also, all
1:34:10
hail, Eo's cheeks. Oh, yeah. I
1:34:12
bet you can get down to
1:34:14
five matches at mania. I could
1:34:17
do it. I'm looking at the
1:34:19
matches I'm interested in. And one,
1:34:21
two, three, four. Eo. punk Roman
1:34:23
seth too for me. Yeah, I
1:34:26
see title at things interesting because
1:34:28
I like breaker and I like
1:34:30
penta and then Stiles Logan. I
1:34:32
can't see Logan for sure. That's
1:34:34
four. I don't even really need
1:34:37
to see Jacob and Knight at
1:34:39
mania. No, I exit that one.
1:34:41
Orton, K-O would have been on
1:34:43
there. I would say Stiles and
1:34:46
Logan and then the triple three
1:34:48
Roman pumpkin Seth too for me.
1:34:50
Yeah, yeah. Maybe if they make
1:34:52
it good if they write it.
1:34:54
Well, maybe there's a lot of
1:34:57
ifs in there I feel like
1:34:59
that's gonna have a lot of
1:35:01
run-ins Yeah, the rock's gotta be
1:35:03
there of course. Yeah Ryan Guttrow
1:35:06
Josh trying to spell phone on
1:35:08
the war pod sounded like the
1:35:10
raw theme theme fee. No, that
1:35:12
was I don't think that was
1:35:15
the dynasty dynasty recap. I told
1:35:17
Josh spell phone and he went
1:35:19
fee fee I was like well.
1:35:21
That's not a letter So go
1:35:23
go back to your seat. It's
1:35:26
amazing. That's what I said. Really
1:35:28
I said that I said that.
1:35:30
P5-4-5, I am really dumb. Valkiller's
1:35:32
lips. I went to a comedy
1:35:35
show Saturday and a lot of
1:35:37
the jokes were about poop. I
1:35:39
even heard a distinctive laugh in
1:35:41
the crowd go, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, that's such
1:35:43
good shit. That's tremendous. That's tremendous.
1:35:46
He's alive. I never went anywhere.
1:35:48
The Dashing Dan, let's be honest,
1:35:50
Wade Barrett should have at least
1:35:52
been WWE champion at least once.
1:35:55
A good wrestler, good gimmick and
1:35:57
stable and solid on the mic,
1:35:59
but he was always injured. That
1:36:01
was the thing. How disgusted must
1:36:03
he be to commentate on a
1:36:06
human jiz joke who will probably
1:36:08
be winning a top title at
1:36:10
Mania? And on top of that,
1:36:12
the guy who needlessly buried him
1:36:15
15 years ago is also winning
1:36:17
a top title to a Sina?
1:36:19
Sure. This question is from... We
1:36:21
don't even know who we are!
1:36:24
Push Fire Barry! Raw Underground returns
1:36:26
weekly with Shane McMahon and the
1:36:28
Strippers. Okay. That helps. All right.
1:36:30
The 24-7 title returns and it's
1:36:32
featured multiple times weekly on both
1:36:35
shows. Fire that. So both of
1:36:37
these things have happened. So go
1:36:39
ahead. The Cruiserweight Division returns and
1:36:41
gets an hour on raw each
1:36:44
week. Like another hour or just
1:36:46
one of the hours. an hour
1:36:48
on raw each week but like
1:36:50
it's not adding an hour to
1:36:52
raw no but an hour I
1:36:55
would push raw underground yeah push
1:36:57
that Barry cruiser rates fire 24
1:36:59
7 title yeah really yes I
1:37:01
would be okay with the 24
1:37:04
7 coming back because the worst
1:37:06
I know but like and then
1:37:08
you've got like fucking million dollar
1:37:10
man either Joe pretending to pin
1:37:12
someone to win it I don't
1:37:15
want to see any one to
1:37:17
win it I don't want to
1:37:19
see any of these yeah but
1:37:21
like at least raw underground has
1:37:24
Shane and the stripers That's a
1:37:26
good five seconds. I'll give you...
1:37:28
Shane and Strippers. It's not Shane
1:37:30
stripping. Yeah. Tyler Rogers. Now I'm
1:37:33
thinking Seth might win the trip.
1:37:35
threats and Seth's favor might be
1:37:37
that he's put into the main
1:37:39
event of night. People got to
1:37:41
stop saying this. It's not happening
1:37:44
guys. No one's getting added to
1:37:46
Sina Rhodes. It's not happening. Sorry.
1:37:48
I know we all like to
1:37:50
think something exciting might happen like
1:37:53
that, but you got to let
1:37:55
it go guys. I mean even
1:37:57
we, you know, talked about it
1:37:59
for a while, but I'm over
1:38:01
it. I've accepted it's not happening.
1:38:04
The only person that would make
1:38:06
sense is punk because he's over
1:38:08
to give him the title. Yes.
1:38:10
But you have to give a
1:38:13
scene of the title now. You
1:38:15
have to. Yeah. What the fuck
1:38:17
was all for if he doesn't
1:38:19
win the title? Of course. And
1:38:22
break the record as a heel
1:38:24
and have a little run. Yeah.
1:38:26
CB, can someone to please explain
1:38:28
to me how not stomping Heyman
1:38:30
means Heyman means Heyman now owes
1:38:33
Rollins a favor, what's Roman's Roman's
1:38:35
favor going to be? Well. Well,
1:38:37
it's just Seth's bullying. Yeah, he
1:38:39
didn't kill him. He's like, I
1:38:42
could have killed you, right? Yeah,
1:38:44
but I didn't. Shrimp Taco, what
1:38:46
if? Paul Heyman turns on punk,
1:38:48
then Roman, then Tease is joining
1:38:50
Seth, but Lowe blows him, and
1:38:53
then Brock Lester comes back in
1:38:55
teams with Paul. It's that time
1:38:57
of the year where everyone has
1:38:59
these crazy ideas. It's gonna get
1:39:02
crazier. Yeah. Yvonne a sucker Rick
1:39:04
doesn't it seem like it should
1:39:06
be seeing punk versus Roman what's
1:39:08
the point of Seth I mean
1:39:10
he hates both of them I
1:39:13
don't know this I mean the
1:39:15
triple threat they had nothing else
1:39:17
for Seth mine might as well
1:39:19

1:40:31
too? We review NxT? Yeah. I
1:40:33
mean, what else? You know, and
1:40:35
there's an AW belt and Eric
1:40:37
and Josh didn't have it in
1:40:40
him to take it from me
1:40:42
this past week. Josh got the
1:40:44
surprise appearance right. But then he
1:40:46
boxed the other fucking matches so
1:40:48
bad that he still got last
1:40:51
place. Who is the surprise? Young
1:40:53
bucks. The young bucks. Oh, he
1:40:55
said that. I almost put the
1:40:57
young bucks. He would have won.
1:41:00
I would have won. Yeah. I
1:41:02
was like that. Did you put
1:41:04
instead? I took the point. I
1:41:06
never take the point. It's funny
1:41:08
because we should have seen that
1:41:11
coming. I just hate AEW so
1:41:13
much. I didn't even cross my
1:41:15
fucking line. Like I didn't want
1:41:17
them to come back. So I'm
1:41:20
like, and I couldn't see like
1:41:22
a viable way to get them
1:41:24
in. Right. Well, what would they
1:41:26
even do? Who they? Yeah. Yep.
