1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:21.920
It's welcome everybody. Welcome to this
week's edition It's No Realta Show, episode

2
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.000
number seven hundred and thirty seventh of
March twenty eight, twenty twenty four.

3
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:32.880
Welcome to this week's edition of ass
Our Team You. I am one after

4
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.560
the show, I am Jeff Peck
joined every single week of my past the

5
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.880
onely Doctor Tray Franklin. Doctor Trey
is a romantic You get bloody in the

6
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:47.280
rain, my friend. I'm pretty
sure when fred Is Stayer just singing in

7
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.920
the rain, I don't know if
the blood was running down his suit,

8
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:57.679
But there is something very John Woo
poetic about that type of situation. Yeah,

9
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.759
A lot of people say, like
kissing in the rain, holding hands

10
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.920
in the rain very romantic. How
about a good beat down followed by blood

11
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:10.519
pouring out in an era of PG
wrestling, I mean does that I guess

12
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.319
that's romantic from a wrestling fan standpoint. Well, I mean if you're talking

13
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.760
about if you're talking to somebody's mama
while you're doing it, maybe, I

14
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.200
don't know, Maybe maybe Mama Roads
is a milth that we don't know about.

15
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.040
I mean, we've seen her.
Very beautiful woman, very beautiful woman

16
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.840
she stitched Cody back up from full
Gear twenty nineteen when she got busted open

17
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.319
by Chris Jericho. I remember that
video. I think she was like a

18
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.359
nurse there well, I mean if
she was married to Dusty, I mean,

19
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:44.799
Dusty was not known for coming home
very clean himself. I mean probably,

20
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.519
I wonder if that's how Dusty and
Mama Rhoades met, was actually at

21
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.079
the hospital of Dusty getting stitched up
from a show? I mean, I

22
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.799
wanted to dig into that. You
know, the weird wrestling fandom in me

23
00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.640
is I probably know because I saw
the A and E biography of Usty Rhods

24
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:05.640
that they did. I think it
was last season that Cody produced, or

25
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.560
maybe it was something that was aired
on Peacock. I think it was A

26
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.199
and E and I feel like they
covered that. So I probably somewhere in

27
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.319
this brain of mine can remember how
Dusty Rhodes met his current or his current

28
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:24.439
wife, and how they came about
and led to Cody and Teale being born

29
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:30.360
from that marriage I believe from Dusty
Rhodes. But that's another story for another

30
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.639
day. When we look back at
Dusty Rhodes getting married, that's gonna be

31
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.360
a special edition of sr T you
next Valentine's Day Special? Is I really

32
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.439
wish to be like a fly on
the wall when Dusty and Flaired hang out

33
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.680
at bars when they were both single. Oh you know they didn't do that.

34
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.439
Come on, they're old school.
They didn't hang out together. So

35
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.120
the stories always was like if Flair
got a fur because they lived on the

36
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.159
same street for a while. Yes, I do remember that story. Get

37
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.479
it Flair would get it like a
new road, Dusty, you have to

38
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.479
get a better coat, or Dusty
get a car. So I just imagine

39
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.680
them like both at a bar trying
to pick up women with their you know,

40
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.800
like Flair do with the Flair style
promos on a woman, Dusty lego

41
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.280
come back to if you will,
I make you're fucking like a monkey.

42
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.520
That's a good Dusty. That is
a good Dusty. Yeah. The internal

43
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:27.240
strife that would be between Rick Flair
and one Dusty Rhodes, who had both

44
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.240
a professional and personal rivalry, which
I think was always very friendly when they

45
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.680
would try it out to one another, from the fur coats to the gear,

46
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.919
to the cars, uh to the
jewelry what have you. That was

47
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.800
always a very fun story to hear
from various different stories and iterations of Dusty

48
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:50.479
Road's life and career in the world
of professional wrestling. Speaking of the Road's

49
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:55.000
last name, there, Doctor Trey
Cody Rhodes is less than two weeks away.

50
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.680
A week from today, you and
I will sit down and we will

51
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:05.639
preview and predict WrestleMania forty four zero. Forty editions of WrestleMania we will cover

52
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.639
on next week's edition of the podcast, and obviously, once again we enter

53
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:18.360
year number two of Cody Roads going
after the undisputed Universal Heavyweight Championship and to

54
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:24.720
win the lineage of the w Championship
and bringing it back to the Rhodes family

55
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.279
Cody Versus Roman Part two. And
we've debated this very often since he's come

56
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.480
back to two years ago, back
in Wrestle Maana thirty eight in twenty twenty

57
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.720
two. We talked about a little
bit last year, We've talked about it

58
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.600
over the summer, and I figure, here we are less than two weeks

59
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.759
away. Let's have the discussion again, because what is the braminter on this

60
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.480
right now, and that is the
discussion of whether or not Cody Rhoads is

61
00:04:49.639 --> 00:05:01.319
the next quote guy in we Roman, Sena Austin Rock, Michaels, Heart,

62
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.920
Undertaker, Triple h They've all been
the guy at one time or another.

63
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:11.519
And I know it's often debated the
lineage of the guy in w WA.

64
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.319
My lineage goes Hulk Cogan. They
tried with Ultim Warrior, failed,

65
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:24.720
Brett Hart, Sean Michaels, Steve, Austin Rock, Lesnar Sina for twenty

66
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.519
years rains. That is my lineage
of the guy, and that's often debated

67
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:34.399
and often discussed. We are entering
a very big WrestleMania again four zero Doctor

68
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:42.120
Trey. WrestleMania one, it was
the birth of WrestleMania, Russemania ten.

69
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.079
It was the torch kind of being
passed a little bit to Brett Hard and

70
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:54.680
the new generation. Wresselmania twenty was
Chris Benjan Eddie Guerrero closing out the WrestleMania

71
00:05:54.759 --> 00:06:00.600
show on MSG that night, WrestleMania
thirty it closed with yessel Mania of Daniel

72
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.920
Bryan. They always try to end
the big ones, the ones that end

73
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.759
in zero with a memorable moment.
Is that memorable moment going to be Cody

74
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.000
Rhodes being crowned the guy? And
is he in your mind? Right now,

75
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:23.000
less than two weeks away the next
guy for w w WA. Yeah,

76
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:30.560
I think with what happened on Monday
night, with it kind of harkening

77
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.480
back to a little bit of the
attitude air, a little bit the ruthless

78
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:39.319
aggression area, with the spilling of
the blood, that to me, that's

79
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.079
the one thing we've I've always talked
about, like he had to overcome obstacles,

80
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.480
he had to overcome adversity, and
you wanted to put this on a

81
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.720
personal level. And I think they
accomplished those goals, you know, over

82
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.720
the last two years and especially kind
of hammering it home Monday night. So

83
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.040
I think, to me, right
now, it just makes sense if this

84
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.279
is the route you're going to go, if you guys have that, if

85
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.040
they have the faith in Cody Rose
to be the guy, and on paper,

86
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.560
Cody checks all the boxes. He's
eloquent, he's handsome, he can

87
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.480
do all the publicity stuff. I
mean, hell, the guy could probably

88
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.160
edit his own promo video if they
asked him to. You know, he's

89
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.319
the guy that you can build this
company around for the next you know,

90
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.959
five or ten years. If that's
the route they feel, then is right.

91
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.639
The odd thing is is we have
the changing up the guard from it's

92
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.839
the Triple H in the middle of
it, and it still feels like this

93
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.959
is the route they're going, so
that means they've got Triple H buying on

94
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:40.519
it as well. It's an interesting
discussion because I would say seventy five percent

95
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.319
of me thinks that Cody is the
next guy, twenty five percent of me

96
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.519
thinks he may not be. And
then it's like, well, if it's

97
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.639
not Cody, well then who's the
guy? And I don't think there is

98
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.680
one. I think it's still the
Roman Reigns era of being the guy in

99
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.240
t WA, and I feel like
we're gonna really emphasize just continually saying the

100
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:03.360
guy on this week's edition of the
podcast. But that's truly how I feel

101
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:09.120
like you look around. No disrespect
to Rollins, no disrespect to Punk McIntyre,

102
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.079
whomever. I just don't think the
next torch bearer of World Rest Entertainment

103
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.040
for the next ten years is on
the roster if they're not named Roman Reigns

104
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.800
or Cody Rhodes right now. And
it's like, well, if Cody's not

105
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.160
the next guy right now, then
who will be? And when will that

106
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.480
take place, and that's the part
where I'm like, well, maybe this

107
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:37.360
is the time. In the moment, it's RESTMANI A four zero Romans schedule

108
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.799
is dwindling. He's become more of
a part timer over the last two years

109
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.679
than ever in his career. We've
slowly seen him work like maybe every other

110
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:54.559
or every two other pay per views
to working just the big ones. His

111
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.080
last singles match, Correct me if
I'm wrong here. Doctor Trey was back

112
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.039
in Saudi Arabia November against La Night. He worked the fatal four way at

113
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.600
the Royal Rumble. He hasn't wrestled
since then, and he's holding the championship.

114
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.480
And as long as they've been doing
this type of like part time champion

115
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.000
really since Lesner, I've never been
a big fan of it. I think

116
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.720
it takes away from the championship,
It makes holes in their programming, It

117
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.559
kind of slows down creative, which
is the reason why I think the bloodline

118
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.039
storyline has really taken a hit until
the last six weeks. Heading in a

119
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:31.240
Wrestlminia, which is no shock or
surprise there. They need somebody who's regularly

120
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.080
there as a champion. Is the
face at we love him or hate him

121
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.559
seeing it was for that fourteen to
fifteen year run. Never a part time

122
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.919
champion. He was always there week
in and week out. Sometimes he held

123
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.200
the tide a little bit too long, sometimes he wrestled a little too much,

124
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.120
sometimes he was too much on the
screen, but the end of the

125
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.759
day, you got to give that
hat tip that he was there. And

126
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.600
I've loved and appreciated everything that realmand
Rains has done during this run since he

127
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:05.120
became champion in August of twenty twenty. Uh, but I feel like it's

128
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.919
time doctor Trey and if if they're
going to drop the title to anybody significantly,

129
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.679
And we talked about this, uh
throughout the last couple of years.

130
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.919
If if you know who's gonna be
the one that finally dethrones Roman reigns.

131
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:22.639
Really the only true name that we
can really sign our name towards was always

132
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:28.080
Cody Roads. Yeah. And so
those people that you mentioned when we're talking

133
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.480
about like the history of being the
guy, you know, and going from

134
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.320
Hogan all the way up through John
Cena, you know, they always had

135
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:43.480
a supporting pats. You know,
even during the Hogan days, you know,

136
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.399
he had Savage and dBase and Andre
and all those guys kind of floating

137
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.879
around. You know, you look
at the Austin Rock era, they always

138
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.000
had a strong attitude of air supporting
past even you know, Sean and Brett,

139
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.000
they had the Pastils and the Razors
and the Bulldogs. They had the

140
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.720
same supporting pass. So you look
at it right now on paper and you're

141
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.960
like, you know, you and
I talked about Alio, like, is

142
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:09.039
this the deepest professional wrestling's ever been? And aw's got a great roster,

143
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.759
but ww's got a great roster.
And if you're gonna have Cody be the

144
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.639
guy and you have set you know, if you have Cody, Seth and

145
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.080
Drew as your one A, one
B, one C, I mean that's

146
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:24.519
not far off from Sina having edge
ordinan Batista around him. So, uh,

147
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.320
if you're gonna transition away from this
dominant world champion that you have in

148
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.879
Roman Reigns to go to a guy
like Cody, but having the depth around

149
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.879
him that, hey, if Cody
should happen to fumble the ball, we've

150
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.440
got two or three other guys that
can pick it up and carry it and

151
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.559
run with it. And not to
mention you guys, you know we got

152
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.120
the guys in NXT like the Bronz
Breakers, the Carmelo Hayes, and I'm

153
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.720
crazy if I'm saying it, but
the Opa femes of the world that hey

154
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.600
far down the line either that they
could step up and take the ball as

155
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.480
well if it came down to it. Yeah, you look at guys like

156
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.159
bron Breakers, who's now and smacked
also still work in NC a little bit

157
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.639
here and there. He seems like
somebody that could beat one of the guys

158
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.480
in w WE five, you know, two three, The window is definitely

159
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.480
not short of like two to five
years from now. It seems like Obafemi

160
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.559
has a special factor that we've only
seen with a bunch of you know,

161
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.759
small groups of dominant wrestlers. I
immediately think of brock Lesner and if they

162
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.080
gave Opa Femi a brock Lesnar two
thousand and two, like push it when

163
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.639
it's shocked me at all. There's
something special there and the future is certainly

164
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.320
bright still for w WE. But
it feels like it may be time and

165
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.120
we'll find out in less than ten
days if it is in fact time where

166
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.120
they crowned Cody Roades the guy.
You know, I've thought about this I

167
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:52.120
think if scenarios like they really leave
Philadelphia with Roman retaining again, I think

168
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.000
that could cause a near riot.
And I think about I think about what

169
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:01.960
they do with these these Wrestlemani's end
in Doctor Tray. There's been very special

170
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:07.320
moments, whether it's now granted,
I know WrestleMania one didn't doesn't start with

171
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.120
or end with zero, but it's
the first one and that was obviously special.

172
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.639
Wrestleman E ten. They made a
statement with Brett Hart in the New

173
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.080
Generation twenty I said again, you
know, I think the plan was ben

174
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.559
Jan Guerrero to move forward to the
next decade and then really resumated. Twenty

175
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.120
one became the one that was the
catapult with Batista and John Cena. Rustamane.

176
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.960
Thirty was an impactful Yesselmania moment where
the people really pushed Daniel Bryan into

177
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.320
the main event sphere of wressell.
Maani became world Champion, and I think

178
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:43.480
you have to end these Wrestlemans with
zero's with special moments, and there's nothing

179
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.799
more special right now. Doctor Trey
then putting that championship on Cody Rhodes and

180
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.720
shining him on as the next guy
for World wrestling entertainment and letting Roman do

181
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.559
his next chapter in his career at
this point forward, so special times ahead,

182
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.080
we would think, really intriguing times. But it's it's feeling closer and

183
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.960
closer that we may be seeing a
torch pass in less than ten days at

184
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.919
wrestlemaning Ford between Roman Reigns and Cody
Rhoads. Speaking of the build here,

185
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.440
doctor Trey for a resume a forty. Here we are ten days out from

186
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:22.039
wrestum Ay starting, and I want
to look at this build up and grade

187
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.559
it. There are people that are
saying that the ending from Raw this past

188
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.799
Monday was one of the best of
all time. They're calling an iconic.

189
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.519
I love the Rock. I love
Cody Roads more than you know, just

190
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.240
like the next fan. I'm a
die hard fan of Dainne the Rock Johnson.

191
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:39.159
I thought it was very good.
Is it the great one of the

192
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.080
greatest Raw endings of all time?
I don't know about that. I think

193
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.480
it would be very memorable. I'm
not here to crap all over it,

194
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.279
but for a guy who's watched,
you know, thirty plus years of Monday

195
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.840
night raw wrestling, maybe that one
right now cracks the top ten. I

196
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.559
think a lot of other things have
to move into place when it comes to

197
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:03.279
endings for Monday Night Raw. But
the build has been really really interesting,

198
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.679
Doc Cray and I think it's time
to grade it right like, looking at

199
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.440
everything heading in the rest of many
forty Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, give it a

200
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.279
letter grade? How are we looking
right now as you as the wrestling fan,

201
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.519
Because if we're going off on attendance
for the last what was it ten

202
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.840
television tapings, uh, people seem
to be given an A plus right now.

203
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:35.080
Uh So if we're grading the overall
build to WrestleMania B plus a minus,

204
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.279
it's it's it's been really really good. It's got me interested in a

205
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.320
bunch of different matchups because the intrigue
is there, like I'm not quite sure

206
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.279
you know where they're going with this
and this is this, And I think

207
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.759
those are always good signs. I
think that you know, when you get

208
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:54.279
to a WrestleMania season and you and
I now have was this like the twelfth

209
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.519
one we've predicted together? Thirteenth when
we predicted together, yep, yep,

210
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.799
first one would be WrestleMania twenty eight, So twelve yeah, so twelve years

211
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.879
of pretty and there's been a lot
of those shows that you and I have

212
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.639
looked the rest of many card and
we've score pretty high on our predictions.

213
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.120
You know, we might go,
you know, fourteen and two, thirteen

214
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.600
and three. When you look at
this card on paper, it's there's a

215
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.279
lot of matches here where it's fifty
to fifty, and that makes that increases

216
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.000
the intrigue and the build for some
of these matches. You know, overall

217
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.159
the you know, the build may
not have been great, but I think

218
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.639
there's a lot of depth in the
build as well. I think they're doing

219
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.440
a really good job of even from
the matches that are supposed to in quote

220
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.720
unquote at the bottom of the card, all the way to the top.

221
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:44.440
They've all gotten their moments to shine. And I don't think we can say

222
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.759
that about a lot of the wrestlemains
we've covered. There's been a few where

223
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.600
we've been like, man, the
build's been great from top to bottom.

224
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.559
But there's been some other ones where
it's like, Okay, the top has

225
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.039
been built really well, but the
bottom is not so much. I think

226
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:02.720
this one's been pretty solid all the
way throughout. I think what they try

227
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:07.640
to do on Monday night Raw was
try to hit that home run that just

228
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.680
got everybody to think their teeth into
it. I think they did a good

229
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.599
job. I think a lot of
people are really intrigued by I think that

230
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.720
some of the older fans are like, like you said, is it the

231
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.839
best, like there's been some I
mean, it's it's hard to beat business

232
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:25.799
Limo blowing up like that's one of
those ones I always remember. But you

233
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.440
know, it was really good.
It sends a message. It was the

234
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:32.839
first time we've seen blood on Raw
in a very very very long time.

235
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.759
So yeah, be plus a minus
so far for the skill For me,

236
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.720
Yeah, I think collectively at a
minus is pretty good. I would give

237
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.000
it the same as well. I
tell you what, they will knock it

238
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:47.400
out of the park if I tune
onto Raw or smack Down next week and

239
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:53.000
they decide to use olympiscuits. My
way to build towards uh the entire RUSTMANI

240
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.640
card. If that song is playing
and they're doing the high package for WrestleMania

241
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.680
for whatever how long Lent's onest three
minutes, three and a half minutes,

242
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:06.599
I am in freeing nostalgia freaks out
there, Russe many seventeen. My way

243
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.319
by Limp Biscuit. It is considered
probably to me, the greatest wrestleman of

244
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:17.079
all time. Russe Many seventeen was
phenomenal. I always talk about the trilogy

245
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:22.400
of seventeen, eighteen and nineteen as
some of my favorites in recent memory.

246
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.880
Obviously we loved thirty eight. We
loved thirty nine as well. Thirty one

247
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:33.599
always has been very popular here on
srt TU as well. Those always have

248
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.519
seemed to be like the ones that
we've really enjoyed. Was like thirty one,

249
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:41.079
thirty eight, and thirty nine in
recent memory. Overall build up again,

250
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:42.880
I would give it a minus.
I'm right there with you, doctor

251
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:48.039
Trey. But I think when you
collectively look at the card here and I

252
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.359
want to go through some of these
matches, and I want to get your

253
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:56.000
quick letter grade, and you know, when the timing is right here,

254
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.559
will you know maybe well we'll chat
it up a little bit more. But

255
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:04.119
if I look like EO Sky Bailey, I kind of give that build like

256
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.559
a B minus right now. Yeah, I was gonna say a B.

257
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:12.759
I think it's gonna depend if they
splinter it off and then you add in

258
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:18.880
Bianca and Naomi against you know,
Oscar and Kyrie, and I could,

259
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.160
I could kind of give it a
bump up because you took one match and

260
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.920
made it into two, because you're
kind of splitting it between all four members

261
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.599
of Damage Control against Bailey for the
most part. But yeah, coming off

262
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.799
the rumble, in that first backdown
after the rumble, I would have thought

263
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.880
it would be a little bit higher, but it is. It has been

264
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.559
kind of lacking a little bit.
So yeah, I would say B B

265
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.720
minus on that one. I give
Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Seth Freaking

266
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.279
Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns
in the Rock versus Cody Roads and Seth

267
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.640
Freaking Rollands those three matches, and
I would have just had two of the

268
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.920
three, and I would have had
Seth Freaking Rollins Drew McIntyre step below until

269
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:02.079
that segment this past Monday with Punk
involved, I would give all those three

270
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:06.799
an A right now. When it
comes to built if I'm doing all,

271
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.440
I would say, no, I'm
and I'm looking at them individually, but

272
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:15.240
I'm saying I would give each one
of them an A. See, I

273
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.759
would actually give Cody and Roman an
A minus like notationally because it's funny because

274
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.839
I've been saying I think you can
quote me if you can tell me if

275
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.839
I'm wrong here, but I think
I've said a couple times on this show

276
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.559
that Rock has kind of overshadowed Roman
and all this. There are a lot

277
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:32.960
of people that feel that way.
Yes, you have said that. I

278
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.519
literally saw Mark Henry and Nick Neemoth
came out and some one of them called

279
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.880
Roman reigns Rock's side chick. Yeah. I know there's been like little brother

280
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.079
stuff being said as well. So
yeah, and to me with that supposed

281
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.400
to be going to be your closing
out Night two match, I feel like

282
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.759
that match has kind of fallen down
a level, and manly it's because of

283
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.680
how good Rock has been and the
frequency he's been there. So I would

284
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:03.359
give the tag match probably an A. Drew and Seth probably an A,

285
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.200
and a lot of that was because
it brought it up Monday night, and

286
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.319
then maybe Roman or stupid coding and
Roman maybe an A minus. Uh Ria

287
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.559
and Becky I would give them like
a B maybe maybe B B minus.

288
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.440
I'm it's been a lot of en
ring promos and I don't know if that's

289
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.799
because it appears Ria Ripley's hurt.
She had a cast on her arm this

290
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.920
past Monday. I don't know how
that's kind of slipped through the cracks with

291
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:29.599
all the news. I just noticed
that on Monday, and I was like,

292
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.599
she's got she's got a cast on
her arm, like a soft cast,

293
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:37.119
like and this is nowhere on the
dirt teach right now unless something happened

294
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:38.279
one of the live shows, because
I didn't, I mean, she didn't

295
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:42.640
have it last week, so it
was kind of like a surprise as well.

296
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:47.119
But I also saw Riya Ripley try
to do the stink face to Naya

297
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.799
Jacks at a house shows weekend,
which kind of wants me bump up the

298
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:56.000
letter right a little bit because I
was enjoyable the few So I what Ria

299
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.359
said on Monday night about it felt
like Becky was fighting everybody else except her

300
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.519
kind of rang true to me,
like she was having all these other battles

301
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.680
with Live and Naya, you know, even though she already had the spot

302
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:14.519
against Rhea at WrestleMania. So yeah, I would probably go beat for Ria

303
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:18.480
and Becky. I think the anticipations
better for the match than the build has

304
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:22.400
been gun through Sammy Zain. I
would give it a C right now.

305
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.519
Uh, yes, I was kind
of a C. Plus I think a

306
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:30.359
lot of it. I don't know. It's the first time I think I've

307
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.599
ever been disappointed that Sammy Zay actually
got a match to WrestleMania, because I

308
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.359
think we were kind of especially when
you read that Gauntlet match. I think

309
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.279
a lot of us were hoping for
ched Gable and then we got Sammy and

310
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.759
it was kind of like, oh, Okay, Sammy's good. They're doing

311
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.279
an interesting twist with this though,
is what we saw on Monday, where

312
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:52.000
like Gable now maybe mentoring or coaching
Sammy heading into this one. Does Sammy

313
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:55.920
really need a coach? Like that's
that was My only thing is I'm like,

314
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:57.960
yeah, it's great, but Gable
didn't beat gun Through, Like it's

315
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.200
not like Gable beat Gum. That's
why I don't understand this storyline. That's

316
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.200
why I'm kind of I'm with you, like, A, it should have

317
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:10.160
been maybe Gable in the spot,
not Sammy. B We've already seen these

318
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:15.519
coaching things before. What's the upside
out of this? Like if Sammy wins,

319
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.200
we get Gable and Sammy for the
interconderal title, or is Gable turned

320
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.119
heel, which I don't think anybody
really wants, so I don't. I

321
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:27.039
don't really know what the upside of
this story if Sammy wins and we give

322
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.640
credit to Chad Gable for coaching them
up, you know, I don't.

323
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.079
I don't. That's the whole problem
of the story lines. I just don't

324
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:37.799
see the upside coming out of it, regardless of the outcome, La and

325
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.480
Night and AJ snyle styles. I
give it a sneaky B plus because I

326
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:48.960
love that segment on Friday SmackDown where
they had the cop bodycam work going on.

327
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.599
I thought that was great and I
was very much outside the box.

328
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:53.400
Yeah, it's a it's been a
B plus for me. Also, like

329
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:59.440
just how huge AJ. Like,
AJ's just gotten ascid, Like this not

330
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.480
the This is not the AJ styles
from TNA or even the the w c

331
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.599
W run when he was it was
Air Paris and Air Styles or whatever.

332
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:12.680
It was like, this is a
jacked AJ, which I love because it's

333
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.680
like, this is him going I
need one more run as a world champion,

334
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.640
and I got to look the part
Jimmy and Jay Uso. I think

335
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.519
I'd give it like a C plus. It's been kind of disappointing. I

336
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.720
liked the promo stuff Monday night,
so that helped. I kind of gave

337
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.279
it a B minus because once again, this is one of the matches where

338
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:37.480
like, I don't know how much
build twin brothers fighting at WrestleMania really need,

339
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.160
knowing the history of these guys and
you gotta feel it though, bretton

340
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:47.319
Owen going on Wrestleman E ten that
was pretty awesome. Yeah, but the

341
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:49.440
funny thing was in a lot of
ways that was still the afterthought because it

342
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:53.920
was still about the world title,
so you know, but I know you're

343
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.400
a huge part fan, so I
can't diminish that match either. That was

344
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.559
really really good. I don't know
how much hype you you can get put

345
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.680
on this match. Knowing that they
got this is like almost a three year

346
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:06.880
build of this match as well.
I mean that this entire blood line run

347
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.240
for the USOS has led to this
match, So I don't know how much

348
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.119
bill it needs. But I do
love the fact that they're twin brothers and

349
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:18.279
they're playing the big brother little brother
feud in there who got out first Logan

350
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:21.880
Paul Randy Aren't and Kevin Owens.
I would give it like a B minus

351
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.519
right now. Uh, I kind
of gave I'm a little bit higher on

352
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:29.799
this match because I loved the owens
orton interactions up and you know, and

353
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.720
even when Nick Allays announced the match, uh like they were all buddy buddy

354
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.359
and even beating up pretty deadly and
stuff like that. So uh and I

355
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.480
think everybody just I don't think any
I think most fans don't care who wins

356
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:42.160
the match as long as it's not
Logan Paul, which is great for Logan

357
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.920
because that's east means he's doing his
job. So uh yeah, I'm probably

358
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:49.359
a beep. I'm at a solid
B for that build. I feel like

359
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:55.720
this feud is one that you know, kind of becomes bigger in a couple

360
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:59.759
months time because I think triple threats
make me think that Logan will walk out

361
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.960
of Wania retaining, especially against two
former world champions who or some of the

362
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.160
best in the industry. Uh And
then finally the tag team match, I

363
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.960
would give it a B plus.
I've really enjoyed how they put a ton

364
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.279
of emphasis on this match, the
interactions in this match, the participants in

365
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.440
this match, it is all made
sense and they've done a really good job

366
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:22.880
of building to this, uh,
you know, ironically the last couple of

367
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.160
months to this match at WrestleMania.
So I'd give it like a B B

368
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.200
plus Doctor Troy I always thinking about
Like for me, I was at an

369
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.720
A minus because I've really enjoyed it. Plus it makes the tag belts feel

370
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.680
really really it makes Yesterday feel desperate
to keep the tag Belts, which then

371
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.240
increases the importance of the tag belts. Plus you got we got a DIY

372
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.839
New Day match because of this.
I mean, some of this stuff really

373
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:49.039
great. Well, we got a
DIY Cree Brothers match, which was amazing

374
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.599
in itself as well, But it
does it does make me go back to

375
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.519
my prediction from a few weeks ago
where I feel like one tag team will

376
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.920
grab the Blue belts and one tag
team will the Red Belt. We shall

377
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:06.440
see, we shall see. So
going through match by match there we went

378
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:10.759
into this conversation saying about an A
minus B plus. I'm gonna stick with

379
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:12.839
my Ami and is still the Doctor
Traven though we broke it down by match

380
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:17.599
by match and kind of rethought a
little bit. It's a weird gracecuff you

381
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:19.240
look at if you're at like a
B like, I mean, we had

382
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:22.640
some we had a couple of season
there a lot of b's and B plus

383
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:29.000
is a couple of a's, But
it's the totality of how solid the build

384
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.720
has been for all those matches is
what makes MI grade B and A minus

385
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.559
because it's like we've had wrestled mains
where we've had a lot of A A

386
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.160
plus builds and then the rest of
the car be like d's and f's.

387
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.400
You know, it's like, oh, yeah, they forgot six matches on

388
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.720
the card, or they shoved four
matches in at the last minute. You

389
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:53.599
know. Uh, this has been
very very solidly built throughout the entire card.

390
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.359
Yeah, and we have three more
shows left Tomorrow Night smack Down,

391
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:03.240
Monday and then the following FRAUDAYDA SmackDown, and they can get a lot of

392
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.839
these matches up to higher levels and
put a little bit more focus on them

393
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:12.680
in the go home editions of Monday
Night Raw SmackDown and this upcoming Friday SmackDown

394
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:18.640
as well. So all next week
will be resumating Raw Wrestmania SmackDown, and

395
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:23.680
on next Thursday we will preview and
predict everything for WrestleMania thirty excuse me forty

396
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:29.200
weekend with Standard deliver w Hall of
Fame, and of course Night one and

397
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.839
night two for WRESTLEMANA forty. It
is a marathon. I've already told my

398
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.240
family on Easter here coming up that
I will not see them next weekend because

399
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.640
it all starts on Friday, SmackDown, Hall of Fame, stand and deliver

400
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.359
Saturday morning, Night one, Saturday
Night Sunday. I don't know if they're

401
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:48.880
airing this, but the Slammys are
supposed to be taking place, so I

402
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:53.200
don't know if that'll be on Peacock, but of course Night two of WrestleMania

403
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:59.160
forty and then the following night of
Monday Night Raw. It is always a

404
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.839
world win weekend for wrestling fans.
But it's a lot of fun top to

405
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.480
bottom, and we will all preview
it for you all and predict it all

406
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:14.640
on next week's edition of SRTU.
Doctor Trey. You mentioned earlier in the

407
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.079
show about like how good wrestling is
right now and how popular it is and

408
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:23.799
everything like that. And we're hearing
a lot that the sold out television tapits

409
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:27.279
that I referenced earlier. I think
they're at nine or ten straight the crowds

410
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.680
are really red hot. The crowds
are large. I mean, they had

411
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.680
to have a different stage in the
All State Arena in Rosemont, Illinois this

412
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:40.440
past Monday, which is really cool
to see. It is early reminiscent of

413
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:45.119
times that you and I were part
of of the Attitude Era of we But

414
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:51.400
when you look at it all that
late nineties Golden era professional wrestling, whether

415
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:55.680
it be the Attitude Era or Monday
Night Raw or excuse me, the Monday

416
00:29:55.759 --> 00:30:00.160
Night Wars battles between w and WW
if you want to bring aaw as well

417
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.359
into this all, when you look
back at that era and you look at

418
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:08.960
what's going on right now, does
this really feel like to you the Attitude

419
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:15.960
era or Monday Night at Wars eras
of professional wrestling where wrestling was in fact

420
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:21.799
cool again, do you agree with
that belief that it is entering that phase

421
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:29.759
right now? It's I think we
all long for those days so much that

422
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:34.079
anytime wrestling gets fun, we think
we're right back there. But I mean,

423
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:38.279
Jeff, I remember those days and
you could walk in a store without

424
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:44.160
seeing wrestling t shirts, and you
know, wrestling was everywhere and front and

425
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:48.200
featured everywhere, and they were on
the covers of everything, and I don't

426
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:52.279
think we're there yet. I think
this is a much better tie in period

427
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:57.880
than the early Ruthless Aggression days and
for a lot of a lot of the

428
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:03.240
John Cena run. I think rustling
is more popular, but it's hard to

429
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:08.319
put wrestling right now at the same
level it was during the Monday Night Wars

430
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:11.720
the Rock Austin days. So I
mean, like I said, I mean,

431
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.519
how many like our kids getting kicked
out of school for saying the things

432
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:19.160
they see on TV? No,
But I mean I don't know about you,

433
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.279
but I knew a couple of kids
that got thrown out of school for

434
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.440
dropping it across shop and telling the
teacher to suck it, not knowing even

435
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.720
what it really meant. I mean, that's it was everywhere in that the

436
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.880
late nineties, you know. I
just I don't think we're there yet.

437
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:40.519
But I think we could be on
the cusp. If the television presentation keeps

438
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:45.599
trending the way it's doing that it
could become that really cool thing that everybody

439
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:49.119
starts watching again. I think it's
better than it's been since we've been doing

440
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:52.480
the show, but I don't think
it's at that era, yet where we

441
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.480
were at during the the att of
Two Days and the Monday Night Wars,

442
00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.000
you hit the nail on the head. I keep hearing everybody talk about how

443
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:06.279
popular professional wrestling is, Rockets cutting
promo saying wrestling is cool again, and

444
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:10.680
from a wrestling fan standpoint, with
what's going on with WW, how good

445
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:15.400
they've been lately, what's going on
in AW have been very solid and putting

446
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.400
on a good product lately, and
being a really good competitor at W and

447
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.519
pushing them to be better, and
W pushing AWW better. From a wrestlings

448
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:28.319
fan standpoint, it does feel that
way where it's reminiscent of the Monday Night

449
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:34.279
Wars the late nineties of professional wrestling. The part where does it really feel

450
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:39.440
like the attitude era is wrestling really
cool again? Is exactly what doctor Trey

451
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:44.039
said when I was in middle school, because that's what it was at the

452
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:50.880
time. In early high school,
everybody knew what was going on in WWW.

453
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:55.319
I was on a basketball travel basketball
team, and every single one of

454
00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:01.640
us had a nickname of professional wrestler. We like portrayed a professional wrestler.

455
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:06.640
Me and my friend were the New
Age out Laws. He was Badass Billy

456
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:12.640
Gunn. I was road Dog Jesse
James. I remember coming in after Survivor

457
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:16.400
Series nineteen ninety eight when the Rock
turned and won the tournament, and a

458
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:22.079
bunch of friends and I getting in
trouble for talking about it like NonStop and

459
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:25.440
not focusing in our art class.
At that period of time, everybody was

460
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:30.759
walking around in school with wrestling t
shirts DX Austin three sixteen, whether it

461
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:36.039
was the Classic Austin three sixteen or
the Bloodstone one where he's bleeding on the

462
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.599
back, or the nWo shirts Sting
shirts. People were into wrestling. You

463
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:43.799
would go to the mall, you
would go out to restaurants. People were

464
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.440
saying, you know, it doesn't
matter, and if you're not down with

465
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:50.920
that, I've got two words,
sucking and can I get a hell Yeah.

466
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:57.160
Everybody in like malls and stuff were
and restaurants were all wrestling fans.

467
00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:59.880
And that's when it was cool to
me. That's when it was at a

468
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:05.880
peak. Right now outside of the
wrestling fandom bubble. I don't think it's

469
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.639
touching on the surfaces, Doctor Tranny. Before the show, we're talking about

470
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:12.719
how like kids nowadays. When we
were growing up we're really into sports,

471
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:17.199
and kids nowadays are more into watching
Twitch and people playing video games like your

472
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:22.400
your children, Doctor Trey, Like
they don't know what's really going on in

473
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:28.599
wrestle Mania Sees right now to the
fullest agree I would expect, right,

474
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:31.840
No, I mean they've all like
Peyton's mentioned, you know, pays my

475
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:36.840
seventeen year old for those who don't
listen frequently. But my seventeen year old

476
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.119
is a sophomore in high school,
and you know he knows The Rock is

477
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:45.760
back. He likes watching the stuff
The Rock does. But if I ask

478
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:47.960
him, you know who EO.
Sky is, he might go, oh,

479
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.119
she's the girl that looks like an
anime character, right, Like that's

480
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:58.360
that he still doesn't know the depth
of what's going on for WrestleMania sees.

481
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:02.239
The kids at his school aren't walking
around and Cody Road shirts or Seth Rowland

482
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:07.199
shirts are rowing. There's a few, you know, just like you know,

483
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:08.679
you and I when we were in
school, right before the Attune Eric

484
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:13.880
kicked off, you'd see the occasional
kid with a trapper keeper with a wrestling

485
00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:16.119
poster in it, and you know, we would go seek out that one

486
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:22.039
kid because Ooh, that's that's something
I can talk to you about wrestling when

487
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:24.400
he's one of us, or she's
one of us, he's in our tribe,

488
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.559
you know. Yes, But when
the attube Eric kicked off, it

489
00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:31.119
was everybody. You know, it
was literally like, I mean, I

490
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:35.280
wasn't. I wasn't a preppy kid, but the preppy kids knew that I

491
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.599
was a wrestling fan, and you
know, they'd be like, hey man,

492
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.039
did you see what happened with Austin
in the beer truck? You know,

493
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.559
like it was everything you know.
Uh, By the way, I

494
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:47.239
have to bring this up because it's
been blowing my mind since you said this.

495
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.039
You were on a travel basketball team. I was, Yes, yes,

496
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.159
very good at basketball. Yes,
if I do say so myself.

497
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:59.639
Just going off the short ginger thing
was that would not have been my thought.

498
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:01.159
I would have thought, dude,
I'm white, I could shoot the

499
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:05.239
three. Okay, So you and
I, you and I should start a

500
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:08.239
basketball league. If you remember that
movie I do In that movie, that's

501
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:10.760
where you and I would excel I
could shoot the three better. That's how

502
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:15.440
that's how the name Trey came from. Part of that. So but yeah,

503
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:21.880
but I digress back into you know, wrestling lore. From those days,

504
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:24.840
it was everywhere. I mean you
couldn't turn on a late night show

505
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:30.960
without being a wrestler on it.
They were making cameos in everything they were

506
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:35.159
hosting. I mean, you're gonna
like The Big Show helped host Saturday Night

507
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.679
mm hmm, The Rock, The
Rock hosted Saturday Night Live. The Rock

508
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.119
is expected. But I mean that
was nineteen ninety nine. I mean that

509
00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:45.920
was heading in a WrestleMania sixteen and
I mean Triple H, Big Show and

510
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:49.960
Mick Foley were there because they were
that main event. But that was a

511
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.760
really big deal because at that point
the only one who had hosted SNL in

512
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:57.920
the wrestling world was Hulkogan and Mister
t And I think the way that came

513
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:02.639
about was like a short notice thing
heading into wrestling Mania one at that point.

514
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:06.679
But I mean the point that I
thought that you made their Doctor,

515
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.480
Trey, is that like your your
step son knows what's going on in professional

516
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:13.599
wrestling to a degree. He knows
that like The Rock is back, but

517
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:15.599
it's not that popular yet where he's
like, hey, can I sit down

518
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:19.159
and watch raw with you tonight?
Can I sit down and watch SmackDown with

519
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:22.119
you tonight and want to know what's
going on because my friends at school are

520
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:24.280
talking about it, like everybody's talking
about like what's going on in we right

521
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:30.039
now. From a pop culture,
mainstream standpoint, it's not there yet,

522
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:34.159
But in the wrestling fan bubble,
and maybe this is the beginning of that

523
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.519
that you know, wave of popularity, Doctor Tree. In the wrestling fan

524
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:43.199
bubble, I do think that there's
a lot of similarities to the late nineties

525
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:46.480
and the Monday Night Wars, because
amongst the in the world of wrestling fandom,

526
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:51.960
it's really good right now and it's
it is reminiscent of that. But

527
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:55.760
from the outside of wrestling fandom bubble, it's not mainstream like the Attitude era

528
00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:00.760
was. I mean, we're right
now if you want to compare timelines,

529
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:06.360
we're in between Luger's showing up at
the Mall of America for the first Nitro

530
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:12.039
and Holla Nash showing up on Nitro. H interesting point there, Yeah,

531
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:15.000
where the fans are like, oh
my god, this is really cool,

532
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:19.039
and you and I would be on
our message boards or with our little rest

533
00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:23.119
fan clicks AOL chat rooms. Yeah, who's gonna show up next on Nitro

534
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:27.440
or Who's gonna jump to rawl?
Like that was those early days. That's

535
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.880
where the buzz started. And then
you know, Hogan Bash at the beach

536
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:36.440
whenevery Wain Hogan turned heel what the
heck and everybody had to go find the

537
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:39.320
video somewhere. And then you do, dude, doctor Trey, you're forgetting

538
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:44.599
calling one nine hundred numbers. Oh
don't remind me of my dad still like

539
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:47.000
brings that up and I did that. My Grandma got really mad at me

540
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:51.920
about doing that once. That was
the one time I got whipped with a

541
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:55.119
belt was over that stuff. So
cause I thought, I don't know.

542
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:59.679
I thought I was outsmarting the system
because it said two dollars of the first

543
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:04.920
minute, So I'd hang up after
thirty seven seconds, not knowing, and

544
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:07.199
then call right back and listen for
thirty seven more seconds and did that over

545
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:12.039
and over again because I thought I
was outsmarting the system because I was not

546
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.840
on the phone for a minute,
so they couldn't charge me for it if

547
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:19.880
they did anything. So yeah,
but dear guy, there's one of the

548
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.360
things I'm I have to look forward
to that, you know, Sammy Franklin's

549
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:24.920
gonna do to me because he's kind
of the same mindset. But yeah,

550
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:29.679
I mean it was just the proliferation
of wrestling was everywhere. But this,

551
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:31.320
I mean, to put it in
comparative terms, it would be like,

552
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:36.039
you know, if you watch season
or one of The Walking Day and you

553
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.920
were like, this is a really
damn good show and you knew a few

554
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:43.639
people that were really into it.
Also, this is not like season six

555
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:47.159
or season seven when everybody was like
flipping it on even if they didn't know

556
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:50.960
it was because it was the cool
thing to do. Like you're still in

557
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:54.639
the early seasons of what that became. This is kind of the same thing.

558
00:39:54.800 --> 00:40:00.159
This is that launching point, that
kickoff point. This is you know

559
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:05.280
those early nWo days, those early
WCW days of people jumping back and forth.

560
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:12.239
This is Austin you know, Austin
Brett Hart posts WrestleMania thirteen or twelve,

561
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:15.519
thirteen thirteen, I think you're going
thirteen there. Yeah, with the

562
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:21.159
double switch, you know, and
leading into fourteen when the you know Tyson

563
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:23.360
Show, when Tyson showed up is
when it got everywhere, right, I

564
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:28.760
mean, that was ESPN had it
everything else. So so what we need,

565
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:31.599
right, now is a screwjob.
We need Paul Triple h Levec to

566
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:37.639
come out at wrestleming A forty and
when Roman has to figure for leg lock

567
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:39.639
on, Cody Rhoades to ring the
bell and get everybody pissed off, and

568
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:44.840
then Cody Truck goes back to a
W. Oh my gosh, that would

569
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:49.400
be that like Cody spits on Triple
Ah and then the black Eye he spells

570
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.920
a W in the air in the
air yes, and then jay Uso joins

571
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:59.960
him over, but Jimmy stays and
in reality, they send they send Cody

572
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:04.199
back to AW just to help bury
AAW even more than it's Some people think

573
00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:07.400
that so yeah, I mean,
I think from the wrestling fandom world,

574
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:09.960
it does feel like the Attitude era, Monday Night War era of professional wrestling.

575
00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:14.159
Is wrestling cool yet on the mainstream
No, But I do love the

576
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:17.360
parallels that you've pointed out their duty
that we may be in the wrestlmanting A

577
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:22.880
thirteen era of the build up.
It's Luger coming out to Nitro or Hogan

578
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:27.719
turning heel at Bash of the Beach. It's building there and it has the

579
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.800
potential, but can it connect mainstream
I think WWE is a really good shot

580
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:32.840
at that with stuff that The Rock
is doing. I mean, I have

581
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.159
been so highly entertained. Again,
I'm a huge stand for the Rock,

582
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:40.599
so that's a given. But him
doing the install Jack, I mean him

583
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:45.480
as a heel is like perfection to
ma. I mean, this is it's

584
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.039
just so good, it's so creative, it's so damn entertaining, and it's

585
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:51.440
been a lot of fun and it's
a good time as always to be professional

586
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:55.519
wrestling fan. To close up here
this week'sition of the podcast, Doctor Trey,

587
00:41:55.599 --> 00:42:00.519
Let's look at the latest wrestlming he
forty card roundup. So no confirmed

588
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:06.599
matches since we last recorded, however, we will see by next week.

589
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:09.920
On Friday's SmackDown, we have the
New Catch Republic UH, Pete Dunn and

590
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:16.079
Tyler Bate taking on Legato del Phantasma
of Angel and Humberto UH. One of

591
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:20.679
those two teams will be in the
six pack ladder match of the Nispeed Attack

592
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.760
Team Championship, and then the other
team would either be a town down under

593
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:30.000
Theory and Waller or the Street Profits. UH. I feel like New Catch

594
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:34.000
Republic and the Street Profits will get
into this match. Doctor Try so I

595
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:37.960
think it's new Catch Republic and Waller
in Theory, okay, and you think

596
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:44.400
the Street profits get it gets that's
that leads to your Final Testament Pride match,

597
00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:47.440
right man match with the Pride against
the Final test That's a good point.

598
00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:55.199
I think a Razor his name.
I think because I really don't think

599
00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:58.679
you can't have Waller in theory and
Wrestler. You gotta have those guys in

600
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:05.719
the Wrestler media match points. Yeah, that is a good point rumored expected.

601
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:10.000
We did see Dominic Mysterio interfere in
the Ray Masterio Santos Escobar match on

602
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:14.320
Friday SmackDown, which to me felt
like a match that could be taking place

603
00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:19.280
at WrestleMania. So I'm sorry to
want to hear Doctor Trey that Santos Escobar

604
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:22.920
and Dominic Masterio will tag with one
another, one another take on Ray Masterio

605
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:28.039
and a partner, And I think
the partner would either be Andrade based on

606
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:30.079
the build with Andrada and the Judgment
day over the last couple of weeks,

607
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:35.880
or maybe we get a celebrity appearance
by Bad Bunny. Do you agree or

608
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:39.280
disagree with that possible build? Yeah, no, I don't know if you

609
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:45.679
pull the Andrade card yet because you
still have the Andrad Judgment Day stuff going

610
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:47.800
on in the well. So I
mean, if you can pull Bad Bunny

611
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:52.320
out of thin air, I think
you and I and most Mozy fans really

612
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.320
enjoy when Bad Bunnies on the card. And you know, Bad Bunny has

613
00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:58.480
his history with the Judgment Day,
so it'd make a lot of sense.

614
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:04.320
And then finally here, Jade Card
Gill is set to make her SmackDown debut

615
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:07.559
as official member of the roster,
which was announced on Friday, that last

616
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.000
Friday that she was signed to the
SmackDown brand. She will come out on

617
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:15.000
Friday SmackDown. You would have to
imagine that there would be some sort of

618
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:17.400
Wrestlemani implications there, and I feel
like it's gonna be one of two things.

619
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:22.960
It's either Jade Card Gill as the
host of Wrestmania forty or we see

620
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:25.840
the ground start to be built for
a Jade Card Gill Bianca bell Aer match,

621
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:29.679
which I've been pushing. And I
know you seem to think Bianca and

622
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:32.400
Naomi would be taken on the Kabooki
Warriors or WrestleMania. I think you can

623
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:37.159
go either way, right, now
thoughts on Jade card Gill on the potential

624
00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:42.679
impact she may have on the wrestmaning
card on Friday SmackDown. I think Jay,

625
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:45.519
I think you'll see a Jade Beyonca
interaction, but I don't think it's

626
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:50.559
leading to a match at this point
because they said she's making a pear.

627
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:54.360
She's not wrestling on No, that's
correct. She's making her debut as a

628
00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:59.400
member of the roster, leaning leaning
towards you. I think she'll probably be

629
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:05.559
a host of WrestleMania and then coming
out of that, you know, into

630
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:08.079
the New Year, and I use
that as the wrestling season New Year.

631
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:14.039
Uh, you'll see her and Biaka
have those interactions leading up to either summer

632
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:17.159
or next year's wrestleming sore you go. So some of the rumored expected Doctor

633
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:21.599
Trey has been on that Final Testament, Uh take it on the Pride of

634
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:27.360
Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits in
a six man match, Raymond Stereo Andrade

635
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:30.519
Bad Bunny maybe something there versus Santos
and Dominic, Jade card Gill and Bianca

636
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:35.119
Belair maybe or Bianca Belair and Naomi
versus Kabooki Warriors. But I feel like

637
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:37.559
those would be the matches right now
that round out this card, Doctor Troy.

638
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:42.519
Yeah, I mean we mean the
having you mentioned the Battle Royals or

639
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:46.760
anything like that yet, And I
don't know really, I mean, well,

640
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:52.119
Gott would. I mean, there's
really not anybody I maybe, I

641
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:55.800
mean Alpha Academy in LW are tied
up in n XT stuff right now,

642
00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:59.719
so they'll probably be part of Standing
Deliver. So I don't know there's anybody

643
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:05.159
else really on the roster that we're
kind of missing that needs a spot on

644
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:08.320
the card somewhere. So I think
we're pretty set right now. Yeah,

645
00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:12.920
I think we are as well.
So we talked about a last week's show

646
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:16.719
would be about seven matches each night, so that would be about fourteen And

647
00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:21.800
yeah, I'm just getting really emotional
thinking about it. Okay, I mean

648
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:24.159
do we need to do you need
a break? I mean to clear your

649
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:28.360
the road confident. I'm trying to
give you the ability to use the mute

650
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.480
button on your microphone. So I'm
kind of ranting about nothingness right here.

651
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:36.719
It is allergy season, so yeah, I mean, welcome back, polling

652
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:40.480
ladies and gentlemen, So thank you
for making a return right around restlming season.

653
