Orton’s Shocking Heel Turn, Regins Fires Up The Bloodline & AEW Revolution Review | The Still Real to Us Show | Episode #840 – 3/19/26

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,600
It's still really a bit damaged.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:12,800
What up, you!

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,200
Welcome everybody.

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,200
Welcome to this week's edition of the Storrava Show.

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,000
Episode number 340.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,200
Let me do that one more time.

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,200
Wow.

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,200
Alright, here we go.

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,700
And, three, two.

10
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:31,700
Ooh!

11
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:33,700
Welcome everybody.

12
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:36,700
Welcome to this week's edition of the Storrava Show.

13
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:40,300
Episode number 840 from March 19, 2026.

14
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:44,700
Welcome to this week's edition of SRTU.

15
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:47,300
I am one half the show I am Jeff Peck.

16
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:49,300
Joint every single week in my coast,

17
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:50,900
I want to lead Dr. Dre Franklin.

18
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:54,700
Dr. Dre, you have my permission to listen to the voices

19
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:56,700
in your head, my friend.

20
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:59,700
Yeah, you don't want me doing that.

21
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:01,700
I will end up in jail at that point.

22
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:07,700
So I've been good to just kind of listen, take advice,

23
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:10,700
and then it's the happy Gilmore thing.

24
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:12,700
Let in the good, block out the bad.

25
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:14,700
That's how I handled the voices in my head.

26
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:16,700
And that should be life lessons for all of us.

27
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:19,700
And that'll do it for this week's edition of Storrava Show.

28
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:22,700
Go patreon.com/SRTUpodcast.

29
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:25,700
Dr. Dre, a big week in the world of professional wrestling.

30
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:29,700
As we saw one feud, one major match throttle up.

31
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:34,700
We have a new match to add to the WrestleMania 42 card

32
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:35,700
and a whole lot more.

33
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:36,700
So let's get right into it here.

34
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:39,700
We will also recap AW Revolution in just a little bit.

35
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,700
Let's start with Friday Night Smackdown, Dr. Dre.

36
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:45,700
I think this is the top story of the week as Randy Orton

37
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:50,700
closes out Smackdown beating the shit out of Cody Rhodes.

38
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:53,700
Cody given him the green light to listen to the voices

39
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:56,700
in his head in a great memorable segment.

40
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:58,700
There's more on the follow up when it comes to Monday night,

41
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:00,700
Ron, who Randy Orton was talking to.

42
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,700
But Randy Orton turns heel.

43
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:06,700
And now we are throttling up here at the Cody Rhodes Randy Orton match,

44
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,700
which on last week's podcast, we sat here and said,

45
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:10,700
"This is kind of mundane.

46
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:11,700
We need something to ramp us up."

47
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:14,700
I think WWE tapped into it this past Friday.

48
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,700
You know, the weird thing was, I did watch it live.

49
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:19,700
So I got the clips.

50
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:23,700
And at first, knock a light when they showed the clip of Orton

51
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:26,700
kicking Cody in the groin.

52
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:30,700
The way his body moved kind of looked AI to me.

53
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:33,700
And so I was like, did they really do this?

54
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:36,700
And so I had to go back and actually watch the show.

55
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:40,700
And it's entirety to make sure there wasn't like AI generated clip.

56
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:41,700
I found a Facebook.

57
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:46,700
But yeah, I mean, they really, I don't know if they,

58
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:49,700
I don't know if they, I don't want to say they overdid it.

59
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:54,700
But they went from zero to 95 just about faster than anything else I've seen.

60
00:02:54,700 --> 00:03:00,700
I mean, that was as quick of an escalation since maybe last year's

61
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:03,700
elimination chamber with Cena turning on Cody Rhodes.

62
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:10,700
I mean, the beat down with Rock and Travis Scott and John Cena on Cody was pretty bad.

63
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:15,700
This might have been like as bad as the Rock beating down Cody in the rain

64
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:17,700
with the, with in call out Mama Rhodes.

65
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:22,700
But for, for what we went through where these guys were amicable.

66
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:26,700
And then to that escalation, what was pretty severe, pretty major.

67
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:31,700
And you know, it got me excited for a match that on paper,

68
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:33,700
I was excited for just being a damn good match.

69
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:37,700
And now you got, now you made it personal or, you know,

70
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,700
just up that escalation level.

71
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:43,700
Now I'm kind of like, yeah, let's see how far they go with this thing.

72
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:47,700
Yeah, I would have guessed a Randy Orton heel turn like after the WrestleMania match,

73
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,700
like leading into backlash.

74
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:51,700
That's where I would have said, okay, the probability will rematch.

75
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:54,700
Or maybe they'll do the fatal four way, fatal five way, the doctor train.

76
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:57,700
I've been pitching for weeks and weeks and weeks here and pull that off at backlash.

77
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:02,700
And that's where we see Randy Orton turn heel like maybe leading into that show.

78
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:05,700
I would have said more likely after the show if you took another L,

79
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:07,700
that's where Orton goes into it.

80
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:10,700
And then that feud continues on and on for the rest of the summer,

81
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:12,700
heading into like summer slam.

82
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:17,700
They ramp things up and rightfully so things have been very stagnant for WWE right now.

83
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:20,700
WrestleMania in general was pretty stagnant.

84
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:24,700
I feel like this past week on at least two moments,

85
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:27,700
one on SmackDown, one on Raw, where I was like, okay,

86
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:29,700
we're now we're getting to the WrestleMania fields.

87
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:34,700
And that moment obviously is the one we're talking about right now with Randy Orton being the hell out of Cody Rhodes.

88
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,700
It was not predictable, which is great.

89
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:40,700
I think the Randy Orton character can be pretty predictable,

90
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:42,700
especially off of DotaBee Creative.

91
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:47,700
I did not have on my Bingo card like Randy Orton heel turn because it's similar to

92
00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:53,700
John Cena, very few handful wrestlers.

93
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:55,700
Like literally I would use Randy Orton as the example.

94
00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:58,700
I think a lot of fans myself included in this point in his career.

95
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:00,700
Like I don't want to boot Randy Orton.

96
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:03,700
And I'm not thinking that Randy Orton gets booze on Friday basically.

97
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:05,700
You know, I think he gets cheered still.

98
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:07,700
I think this is the Randy Orton people love.

99
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:12,700
When people reach a certain point in their career and the amount of mileage that they've done and years that they've done,

100
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:14,700
you know, I don't want to see another heel turn.

101
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:21,700
And that was the case with Randy, but they did it and Randy's heel turn on Friday night was great.

102
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:22,700
It made a ton of sense.

103
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:24,700
It's showing the desperation for the title again.

104
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:26,700
He wants to be a 15 time world champion.

105
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:30,700
He's been out of that title picture now for years.

106
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:34,700
I think the last time was like WrestleMania 33 when he was shooting with Bre Wyatt.

107
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:37,700
It was the last time he held the WWE Championship.

108
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:38,700
It's been a long time.

109
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:44,700
And this is a guy that from 2004 to about 2017 held the championship pretty regularly.

110
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:48,700
Like, you know, some decent long reign, some period of time has been held at multiple years.

111
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:51,700
Where he was in the title picture for a period of time.

112
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:54,700
And he's taken a back seat, become more of a little bit of veteran.

113
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:55,700
Been cheered a lot more.

114
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:59,700
He had a great feud with Edge in the early 2020s.

115
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:02,700
And then ever really since then people just kind of have loved Randy.

116
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:07,700
If you don't, you know, do in the arcade bro stuff, Roman Reigns, being a pal with Cody Rhodes.

117
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,700
And now we're getting the Viper back.

118
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:10,700
And this is the Randy that we're seeing.

119
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:12,700
And he's pretty timeless.

120
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:14,700
Like not to steal a phrase from Tony Storm.

121
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:18,700
But I feel like Randy Orton is just a timeless person and character, Dr. Trey.

122
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:24,700
There's Randy Orton in 2006, reminds me of Randy Orton in 2005, 2006, 2010.

123
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:26,700
Like, this is pretty cool.

124
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:27,700
I love the segment.

125
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,700
And I like the direction that they go with this field right now.

126
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:40,700
Yeah, I like that you say he's timeless because I mean, he's, you know, approaching 50 and he's arguably still as good in the ring as he's ever been.

127
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:42,700
He's bigger than he's ever been.

128
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:46,700
Like, I mean, you look at Randy Orton's circle like 2010.

129
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:48,700
He was built like a snake.

130
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:49,700
He was tall and lanky.

131
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:55,700
And now this one's more like a bokeh shirt like this is like, you know, beast mode, Randy Orton.

132
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:06,700
But yeah, I was when you, when you reference the heel turned, I'm like, I think for people, our age is not even a heel turn.

133
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:09,700
It's kind of like, no, we're still going to cheer Randy Orton.

134
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:14,700
It is kind of, it's a weird dynamic where the kids are going to be more upset about it.

135
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:17,700
But the adults are like, no, no, this is, this is the Randy Orton.

136
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:18,700
We all love.

137
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:30,700
So you're probably are going to hear like a weird split when these two get go face to face and you might hear the kids and the women cheering for Cody and the men cheering for Randy.

138
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:32,700
So it's in, it's an interesting dynamic.

139
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:42,700
They kind of depends on if this stays a one on one feud or if they do end up building like a little stable around Randy Orton, then you know he's a heel.

140
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:46,700
But if this stays one on one, you know, it might be a little bit true.

141
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:50,700
Mackenzie, I think we're drew is still going to a lot of cheers and his view with Cody.

142
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:53,700
Randy's going to get way more than drew God.

143
00:07:53,700 --> 00:08:04,700
I guess on paper to heel turn, but I don't think you're going to hear that just that genuine animosity that John Cena got postlimation chamber for a while.

144
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:07,700
I think people are still going to cheer for Randy Orton.

145
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:12,700
Yeah, no, I'm totally with you. I think people are really down with his character. I be in one of them.

146
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:21,700
So, and I'm not a Cody hater, but I think Cody is getting into that echelon of John Cena, 2005, 6, 7, where people are going to start revolting on him.

147
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:27,700
And this is the perfect character for the adults to go, you know, F you to the kids favorite wrestler when it comes to Cody Rhodes.

148
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:34,700
The second part of this equation, Dr. Trey was Monday Night Raw. Michael Colp's got to sit down and interview with Randy Orton to explain his actions.

149
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:50,700
He refused that interview, but prior to refusing the interview, he's on the phone with somebody saying it's good to see you like revitalizing who he was and, you know, alludes to something that wrestling has more than one royal family, which is the top of Cody Rhodes theme song, obviously.

150
00:08:50,700 --> 00:09:02,700
Who do you think Randy Orton was talking to and is this someone that actually plays into an equation of this feud or is it just kind of like a throwaway moment, or he's just randomly on the phone with someone.

151
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:20,700
No, I think they don't do anything randomly in WWE anymore like there's there's a methodology to it. I've seen some people, you know, throw out some guesses. I saw somebody throw it out the the Rick Flair Charlotte Flair guess I've seen Kevin Owens.

152
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:41,700
I think I might, I think I might lean KO over anybody else right now because if you throw Randy KO and Sammy together later on after all this stuff kind of ties up and we get post-Rustle made it that might be an interesting dynamic to go with.

153
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:52,700
I've seen the Ethan Page Ricky Saints type thing where it's it's Randy forming a version of legacy based with two guys who have history with Cody as well.

154
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:59,700
So those would be my top two picks is either KO or Ethan Page Ricky starts type.

155
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:16,700
KO would be interesting that would be really really fun and interesting I know people are saying Rick Flair. So I think I saw stuff for like Stephanie McMahon, his father pop Orton Senior it's it's intriguing is a nice added layer and we will get the reveal on Friday Smackdown.

156
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:30,700
So Cody Rhodes Randy Orton full seam head towards WrestleMania very, very nice segment to really kick things into gear for that feud that was kind of stagnant since it was announced a couple weeks ago once Cody Rhodes defeated true Mac entire.

157
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:59,700
Dr. Shrewd we have a new match now added to WrestleMania 42 and I would say this is the second biggest moment of the week on Monday Night Raw. Seth Rollins comes out with the mass men Paul Heyman comes out says you know do the F around and find out acronym and you're going to pay for your actions last week Brock Lesnar comes out Brock tries to go after Seth Rollins he takes out the mass men and light to go out and Oba Femmy's music hits we've we've talked about this now.

158
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:07,700
Here and there over the last month since Lesnar said he was going to be announcing an opponent for WrestleMania 42 where we see an open challenge this was a big match.

159
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:23,700
We talked about Oba Femmy we talked about Gunther it is Oba Femmy it's official Oba Femmy versus Brock Lesnar it was a great moment very excited moment the fans loved it aided up and this is a huge test for a very young star and Oba Femmy to be in that ring with Brock Lesnar.

160
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:35,700
He manhandled him on my name and not many people do that it's very very few in far between that Brock let's people do that to him and Oba Femmy was one of the made him look small which is hard to do.

161
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:46,700
This is an exciting match on paper Dr. Trey it will be interesting if it pays off at WrestleMania 42 but here we are Oba versus Brock your thoughts on the segment and then match becoming official.

162
00:11:46,700 --> 00:12:15,700
Love the segment because it started intertwining I don't know I love with segments intertwined like three different stories like I just it's seamlessly transition from you know Seth to Seth and Paul to Seth and Brock to Brock and Oba like really really well done and it kind of reminded me back of Drew McIntyre Brock Lesnar when you if you remember when Brock was on stage with the title bell Drew came out Claymore to many times.

163
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:33,700
And Brock told him to pick up the belt you saw the same thing like after Oba hit the the fall from Grace power bomb on him you saw Brock kind of like tell him like hey step on me him point the sign Brock doesn't do for people that he doesn't believe it.

164
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:58,700
You know we we still talk to this day talk about the Brock Lesnar Dean Ambrose match and how Brock really wasn't into it you can tell what Brock into something by how much he sells for his opponent and I think he's taking a shine to this Oba Femmy kid so to speak and he's going to help him put the the Rock a ship to his back and launch him into the next level.

165
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:19,700
Yeah this is a very very telling match of WrestleMania well plenty of time to discuss whether or not Brock should be taking the L for Oba to help him out this will be Oba's first main roster PL first WrestleMania this is a huge match to be in what we see a torched passing moment at WrestleMania 42 we have weeks and weeks to discuss that but it's official Brock Lesnar Oba Femmy.

166
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:31,700
WrestleMania 42 should be a huge match up really the comfort of the build and the several in the next couple of weeks which also begs the question I guess over now is on Monday at raw see that becomes official as well.

167
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:46,700
Next year Dr. Trey we had CM Punk and Roman Reigns who have been doing a lot of like if this was a baseball Acronic acronym I would say these guys were hitting solid doubles with their segments each and every week the back and forth and stuff nothing

168
00:13:46,700 --> 00:14:15,700
nothing that was a true home run nothing that was even close to a trouble just very solid contact these two guys were bringing to build their match and feud heading to WrestleMania 42 however another great back and forth segment on the microphone which is kind of getting a little mundane you know we got to kind of get out of this little bit I'm being a little impatient but the line of your old is the one that sends Punk over the edge after punk said what he said about Roman Reigns's father.

169
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:43,700
I thought that was really lame and and weird honestly there are reports out there that Reigns was supposed to go a little bit dark when it came to his dog a punk dog Larry and you have to wonder if like punk completely cut that out which I wouldn't think he would because he's a guy that loves business like this but I just thought that your old line is the one that triggered CM Punk to be very weak your thoughts on the segment that closed out raw this past Monday.

170
00:14:43,700 --> 00:15:12,700
Yeah I don't know if I hated it but everybody else did because I'm old and when some people call me on that yeah it does kind of light a fire under my eyes especially if I'm doing something that I'm keeping up with everybody else and not to mention if I'm the top guy and some it comes up and I look I'm faster you bigger than you stronger you better looking than you you're just old yeah it might fire me up so I think it's not going to be a good thing to do.

171
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:25,700
I think it's a different insult when you're almost 50 as opposed to like when you're in your 30s like so I didn't hate it as much everybody else it I thought it was well done I thought the back and forth was really well done.

172
00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:37,700
I still I would say it's still another double to use your your metaphor but yeah I don't think it was as bad as your bios but what it does.

173
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:42,700
It kind of puts the ball back at Roman Rangers Corps because that entire time.

174
00:15:42,700 --> 00:16:05,700
Punk's like I'm in your head I'm in your head I'm in your head but it's punk who throws the first punch which means Romans in his head so if that's the thing that kind of lights him up you know hey you know it's not far off punk is getting older and he's almost like there's time that you look at punk you're like he's the old guy who still tries to pretend like he's young.

175
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:15,700
And it's like no I think I think he's felt that and so for that to actually be the insult that you know fires his character off you know made sense to me actually.

176
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:34,700
Here's the layer of the reins punk feud that I found the most intriguing among in a raw it was not the end segment it was rain to arrive into the arena getting out of the car and breaking the fourth wall by looking directly in the camera and saying that all of his all of his family whether or they're like on his side or not should be offended by what CM Punk said.

177
00:16:34,700 --> 00:16:46,700
Which told me he was basically alluding to the MFT's I mean who else could he be talking about is the rock it'll be showing up anytime soon possible we saw the usos come to the fence the last week now they're kind of a little bit more aligned.

178
00:16:46,700 --> 00:16:56,700
Then we've seen pretty recently there's these rumblings of the blood line making a potential return and maybe a super blood line is going to be forming based off of CM Punk's comments.

179
00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:19,700
I feel like we could be out with that was some foreshadowing those were some seeds being planted will we see carry on on Friday Smackdown or next Monday's nights raw will be very very telling and I think if there is going to be some traction here it needs to take place either tomorrow night on Smackdown or on this Monday's edition of raw because that line was not a throw away line it was some sort of foreshadowing.

180
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:39,700
And what I like right now with the story lines we're seeing from Randi Orn to this one even is I think that there's a possibility in like four to six weeks you and I are sitting here going man WWE really turned it around in 2026 and delivering some really nice story lines I think some serious seeds are being planted and this is one of them Dr. Trey for me.

181
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:47,700
Did you get that same vibe based off of brains breaking the fourth wall looking directly in the camera on Monday nights raw calling out the rest of his family.

182
00:17:47,700 --> 00:18:04,700
Not to mention that but then also was it this week or the last Monday when LA night ran into the usos and you know he's talking him up and he goes hey we got a common enemy in the vision but you know there's still rolling is that hey if the bloodline gets to get you know back together that's an uh-uh.

183
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:33,700
Like so I think they are testing the waters so to speak to see what the feedback is and like a super bloodline would be interesting and because you know Jimmy and J are still super popular and the MFTs are not but on you know this Smackdown Brad at one point so there was a top heel and now he's kind of down the card a little bit so maybe by doing a super bloodline it helps elevate everybody.

184
00:18:33,700 --> 00:19:02,700
But yeah like you still got to have somebody be the villain in this story and right now it's kind of like you're you're playing that hey both guys are trouble human beings that have faults and it's like yeah people like regular people can identify with it but still for younger fans like who do I cheer for and who's t-shirt do I buy who's poster do I buy I like like punk and I like Roman who do I go by the way I don't have you know this and you know this and you know what I'm saying.

185
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:18,700
You know this and you being the parent of a small child Roman reigns a CM Punk or brothers in Zootopia to they gave each other a fist pump at the end of the series Z-brows yeah so I learned that as we can watch Zootopia to a Sammy Franklin.

186
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:31,700
It is now on Disney Plus I it's in the queue it is in the queue so yeah really cool segment there and it's funny I felt like that little line to me was more intriguing than anything else I saw with reigned and punk this past Monday night on Raw.

187
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:47,700
So there you go there's some of the official matches a lot of traction for them this past week in the world of professional wrestling some of the rumored slash what we are thinking matches I think there's something going on the women's tag team championship with these are irresistible forces

188
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:58,700
Charlotte Flare and Alexa Bliss Bella twins maybe the Kabuki warriors and now Bailey and Larry Valkyria Bella twins appeared on Smackdown they get involved in the easier irresistible forces and Flare and Bliss match.

189
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:10,700
The Bell is say that they are up next and they have a title shot on this week's edition of Smackdown so tomorrow night and it also feels like the Kabuki warriors and Bailey and Lyra will be involved soon based off of what we saw on Raw as well.

190
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:18,700
It looks like the women's tag team champion of Dr. Drake could be some sort of like five team challenge which we we tend to see at WrestleMania right now.

191
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:34,700
Well that was always the old thing which that was always Vince air was like I want to get all my guys on WrestleMania like you know like he always would find like the eight person intercontinental title match or you know we had the Andre battle royals in the in the.

192
00:20:34,700 --> 00:21:03,700
You know the was a for one year the mula battle royale then there yes or like you know we can do that because no like smoothness women's battle royale so there are ways of always adding people onto the card to get them their WrestleMania payday now the air of kind of guaranteed contracts and things like that we don't focus on it as much like it's all one big weekend but yeah I mean tag team title matches mid card title matches those a lot of them like at least one of them ends up being like a multi person tag.

193
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:26,700
I think we're seeing that with the men's tag team tiles on Smackdown the women's tag team titles on both shows probably with the US open they'll probably a multi person match as well the intercontinental title but you a multi person match like we could have like probably one two three four five title matches be multi person slash team title matches

194
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:47,700
or WrestleMania just to kind of pack that card out yeah it's it feels like it's becoming one of those things where we're going to get a lot of females in this match which I'm fine with because of these some of these ladies are absolute legends and and there's actually some some feud going on so something to keep an eye on now with the women's tag team championship other matches broad breaker versus

195
00:21:47,700 --> 00:22:01,700
bronze that we saw obviously we talked about Seth and his segment to open a bra this past Monday wrestle votes is reporting that quote there has been a sense of optimism that brown break could be clear to return for WrestleMania it seems like Logan Paul an

196
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:13,100
Austin theory of a different direction for WrestleMania Dr. Tray so I think it's it's becoming more likely that this match ends up on the card I mean it's I feel like we're getting close to it what you're

197
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:41,780
five do you think we get brought in and Seth at WrestleMania still yeah I mean I like the way of play out Monday night with open broad getting locked together Logan Paul an Austin theory probably going with ever the usos then Seth needs a dance partner unless you're going to do the mystery opponent thing again and you know it's a it's a possibility I mean and once again but then L.A. nice to also as an opponent and there's been no word that

198
00:22:41,780 --> 00:22:57,700
Johnson Reed might be back in time so it is going to be kind of like hey who who fills that dance car between now and WrestleMania so I think that's the reason why we haven't really seen any of the set stuff flush out as to like an actual

199
00:22:57,700 --> 00:23:06,860
direction because I think it's still kind of up in the air and it may adjust between even now and WrestleMania depending on if breakers back and time I do think you know

200
00:23:06,860 --> 00:23:14,340
that's what I think the Bronn breaker is one of those freak athletes that can recover from injuries far sooner than people expected I have always thought he was going to be back by

201
00:23:14,340 --> 00:23:27,980
Mania so I am leaning towards Seth and breaker but I think that's why the you know the the plans for some of the top people haven't been clearly defined because we have a couple guys up in the air based on injuries.

202
00:23:27,980 --> 00:23:45,260
AJ Lee versus Becky Lynch for the internal championship still feels like it's on the card AJ Lee defeats back Bailey excuse me on Monday's edition of raw and come another commercial break Becky Lynch attacks AJ Lee post match this seems like like one that gets you know official next week down to trade you

203
00:23:45,260 --> 00:23:46,260
Lee and Becky Lynch.

204
00:23:46,260 --> 00:23:54,420
Yeah, do you know is is going to be one of those people like if if if AJ wins Becky could never challenge for the inner kind of title ever again.

205
00:23:54,420 --> 00:23:56,900
Yeah, maybe maybe one of those the other.

206
00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:03,340
The Becky now there's a possibility because there's been talk of that Becky you know kind of wants to rack things up.

207
00:24:03,340 --> 00:24:05,580
I mean, can we get a title versus career match?

208
00:24:05,580 --> 00:24:07,220
That would be something.

209
00:24:07,220 --> 00:24:10,140
I hope that's not the case because we know how I feel about that.

210
00:24:10,140 --> 00:24:18,660
But yeah, that could be something I think they're they're going to put some kind of stipulation on it though because we already had the one on one match.

211
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:23,820
I mean, I don't know if they would do a cage match for these two WrestleMania, but it's a possibility.

212
00:24:23,820 --> 00:24:32,220
But I just feel like they're going to throw some kind of weird stipulation on it that makes you and I either hate it or just kind of scratch your hands like that.

213
00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:33,540
It's kind of a dumb stipulation.

214
00:24:33,540 --> 00:24:36,260
Yeah, that's very well possible.

215
00:24:36,260 --> 00:24:42,220
I mean that that would not be other realm of possibility. I would love to see like an Iron Man, an Iron Woman match between these two.

216
00:24:42,220 --> 00:24:44,580
You mean Iron Woman match a WrestleMania between Vigil and AJ?

217
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,740
Here you go. What they do is submission matched.

218
00:24:46,740 --> 00:24:48,740
That'd be interesting. Yeah.

219
00:24:48,740 --> 00:24:55,140
I don't think we've had a women's submission matching maybe I think Nadia and Charlotte were the last ones.

220
00:24:55,140 --> 00:24:56,340
I can remember.

221
00:24:56,340 --> 00:24:58,020
Was it really?

222
00:24:58,020 --> 00:25:02,020
Was that really bad thing they were trying to do with like riddle that was the cage?

223
00:25:02,020 --> 00:25:03,220
It was an annexated.

224
00:25:03,220 --> 00:25:06,340
It wasn't a long time.

225
00:25:06,340 --> 00:25:07,860
The line's dead. No.

226
00:25:07,860 --> 00:25:09,380
It was a pit.

227
00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:11,540
Was it a pit?

228
00:25:11,540 --> 00:25:14,260
It was either pit or a dungeon.

229
00:25:14,260 --> 00:25:18,740
Yeah, something like that. Well, I'll have to look while we're talking about this.

230
00:25:18,740 --> 00:25:22,980
Sammy's A versus Trick Williams or Al Sir Black feels like it's a possibility here.

231
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:27,140
Sammy may have kicked off a few with Trick in a backstage segment on last week's Smackdown.

232
00:25:27,140 --> 00:25:29,860
This has been a rumored and reported match for some time, Dr. Trayon.

233
00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:33,380
It looks like we may be seeing this one coming to fruition as well.

234
00:25:33,380 --> 00:25:40,820
Yeah. As a long time fan of Sammy Zane, I don't want that match just because I feel like that's a

235
00:25:40,820 --> 00:25:45,540
match for Trick to win because they, I mean, everybody loves Trick Williams.

236
00:25:45,540 --> 00:25:49,140
I don't feel like they'd put him in a high profile match.

237
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:53,060
It's kind of like the Austin theory, John Cena match were a few years ago, was like,

238
00:25:53,060 --> 00:25:54,500
hey, we're trying to push this kid.

239
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:57,940
Let's get him in there with a top star so he can kind of go over.

240
00:25:59,620 --> 00:26:05,460
I just like Sammy having solid wins at WrestleMania because it's, he is one of the nicest guys

241
00:26:05,460 --> 00:26:08,420
in professional wrestling. So I always pull from it. I like Trick as well.

242
00:26:08,420 --> 00:26:12,100
So it's just an interesting dynamic. But then once again, if that's the right you go,

243
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:16,260
what do you do with Al Sir Black? I mean, I'll let you throw him in a US title,

244
00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:19,300
open challenge type gauntlet match or something.

245
00:26:19,300 --> 00:26:22,260
Yeah, maybe Al Sir Black was the one on the phone with Rain New York and two.

246
00:26:22,260 --> 00:26:26,980
So maybe, by the way, that was Fight Pit. It was a Fight Pit match.

247
00:26:26,980 --> 00:26:30,260
That's what we're missing. That was the name, but it would call the Fight Pit.

248
00:26:30,260 --> 00:26:35,620
Fight Pit. Yeah, very, very original. Other matches that I feel like are coming to fruition here,

249
00:26:35,620 --> 00:26:38,500
the Usos versus Logan Paul and Austin theory for the World Tag Team.

250
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:42,980
Championship, Heyman Watts, Paul and theory to go after the tag titles on this week's edition

251
00:26:42,980 --> 00:26:46,740
of Raw. That feels like the direction that will, they will be heading towards Dr. Try.

252
00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:53,460
Yeah, by the way, so do you like this version of Austin theory where he just kind of comes across as like

253
00:26:55,220 --> 00:27:01,620
not unhinged, but just unbalanced. He's so super intense now.

254
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:06,900
Like, I kind of still like the theory that we had when he first grew the beard out.

255
00:27:06,900 --> 00:27:11,700
Like that one for a little while, that when he beat up Seth Rollins, that was kind of the edge of

256
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:16,980
your one. I don't know if I like this one where he's just, I don't know what kind of person I

257
00:27:16,980 --> 00:27:22,180
describe as, but just super intense all the time. I don't know if I'm liking this one.

258
00:27:22,180 --> 00:27:27,860
Pushing from a guy that was like pointing at his abs and his back and his muscles like two years

259
00:27:27,860 --> 00:27:32,020
ago. Now he's just, no, I'm a bad ass now. I don't know if I like this version.

260
00:27:32,020 --> 00:27:36,420
This version is corny. I mean, quite honestly. It's like when he's like, I'm the pressure. It's like,

261
00:27:36,420 --> 00:27:41,780
oh, god, like you don't believe it. I thought the guy that was taking selfies was a lot better than

262
00:27:41,780 --> 00:27:46,740
this one, quite honestly. Yeah. Yeah, the Tyler Breeze gimmick worked better for him than the

263
00:27:48,020 --> 00:27:54,980
1980s bad movie action star. Yeah, it's not, it's not working. So it feels like Usos,

264
00:27:54,980 --> 00:27:59,620
Fury and Paul is going to be coming to our WrestleMania screens. Other matches that feel like

265
00:27:59,620 --> 00:28:03,940
they're coming to our WrestleMania screen drew McIntyre and Jacob Fattu. We had drew quitting WWE on

266
00:28:03,940 --> 00:28:10,500
SmackDown. Only for him to help trick Williams to feed Jacob Fattu on SmackDown. Drew versus Jacob

267
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:15,220
is set for tomorrow night or when people are listening to tonight on SmackDown.

268
00:28:16,740 --> 00:28:20,500
Yeah, it's weird now that this is the second time they're doing this where this like we're

269
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:24,260
going to have this match that's probably going to be our WrestleMania match, but we're going to do it.

270
00:28:24,260 --> 00:28:31,860
You just use mentioned Usos, Paul and Fury. It's this kind of a weird course they're taking.

271
00:28:31,860 --> 00:28:34,900
Like, hey, this is the match we're going to have a main, but we're going to have a preview match

272
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:40,020
you know, a couple weeks ahead of time. Like it's kind of a weird thing. Like I'm good with

273
00:28:40,020 --> 00:28:46,900
McIntyre and Fattu. I wish it was they were included in the World title matchup, but it's just kind of a

274
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:53,220
weird thing to have a match before the main. And maybe it's their way of kind of making sure that

275
00:28:53,220 --> 00:28:59,700
you know, the bugs are worked out before they have a main. To make the main.

276
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:05,700
The match better, but I don't really remember like any but them really doing this in years past as

277
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:13,780
well. Yeah, no, I don't remember this and I don't like when they do rumored matches on the show like

278
00:29:13,780 --> 00:29:18,420
three, four weeks out. I'm not and I always hated when they would do like WrestleMania rematches

279
00:29:18,420 --> 00:29:24,660
like the next time on Raw. Yeah, it's not good. It's not good. The rematch ones maybe kind of

280
00:29:24,660 --> 00:29:27,540
piss all over. Why don't I waste 30 minutes of my life watching this at WrestleMania if I could

281
00:29:27,540 --> 00:29:31,700
just skip to go to the bathroom, took a shower, did a little bit of work or something if the

282
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:37,860
match would be the next night anyway. So that was a period of time where like Vince didn't care

283
00:29:37,860 --> 00:29:43,620
or something. I remember reading that. Well, like me for me, like stuff like this is just kind of like,

284
00:29:43,620 --> 00:29:52,900
well, you know, if if you're like I love the anticipation, getting to that big match, you know,

285
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:56,820
a little bit of stuff you're seeing with punk and range. It's like, no, no, no, tease it.

286
00:29:57,460 --> 00:30:02,660
You know, let me get my appetite wet for it and then give me my main course of WrestleMania. If you're

287
00:30:02,660 --> 00:30:08,740
if you're giving me, you know, my meal early, it's not going to be as good at WrestleMania. I don't

288
00:30:08,740 --> 00:30:13,860
think I want to see these guys fight for the really for the first time at Mania on the biggest stage,

289
00:30:13,860 --> 00:30:18,580
I guess. I agree with you. Maybe we'll get one of those like what they would call like schmases or

290
00:30:18,580 --> 00:30:22,980
whatever, right? I mean, we're Bret Hart saying that in his documentary like big schmase where

291
00:30:22,980 --> 00:30:29,220
nothing happens and just basically a brawl or like somebody gets laid out pre-match, which I think

292
00:30:29,220 --> 00:30:34,580
is more likely to happen on Smackdown. So stay tuned. Drew, Fatou, Friday night's Smackdown.

293
00:30:34,580 --> 00:30:39,860
Ray Mysterio versus Gunther has been rumored here. A body slam net is reported that Gunther's

294
00:30:39,860 --> 00:30:43,860
feud with Dragon Lee was supposed to set up a program with Ray Mysterio leading to a match at

295
00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:48,900
WrestleMania with Mysterio suffering a rib injury before the Royal Rumble Gunther's WrestleMania

296
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:54,180
direction change and it is curly unknown if he will compete in Las Vegas unless Mysterio is

297
00:30:54,180 --> 00:30:58,740
medically cleared. A lot of momentum obviously for Gunther on the last several months and it's just

298
00:30:58,740 --> 00:31:05,780
completely gone to a halt, Dr. Trey. Where Gunther is not been on RAW at all nor advancing any type of

299
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:13,220
storyline, which is a major bummer. Ray Hurt again, which is again a major bummer. It's not looking good

300
00:31:13,220 --> 00:31:20,820
for Ray versus Gunther at WrestleMania 40 tail. Yeah, and I don't know if I read or report that

301
00:31:20,820 --> 00:31:26,820
people were questioning how serious Ray's injury would be because Ray didn't want Gunther to

302
00:31:26,820 --> 00:31:32,500
be the one to retire him. He wanted Dom to do it. So I don't know how accurate it is. But if that's

303
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:38,420
off the card, I mean LA Knight doesn't have it. Do we get LA Knight and Gunther? I don't know what to do

304
00:31:39,620 --> 00:31:48,420
with Gunther. If you don't have anybody for him to retire at WrestleMania, you need to course

305
00:31:48,420 --> 00:31:52,900
correct and find something else. I just don't know what you do with that. Yeah, LA Knight's another one

306
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:57,700
that's very disappointing what they're doing with both him and Gunther right now. So we'll have to

307
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:02,820
see if this, you know, they've still got a little bit of time. I mean, what is it? Like three, four,

308
00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:08,580
five more episodes of RAW? So they've got some time here, but the clock is ticking to get onto

309
00:32:08,580 --> 00:32:13,220
that WrestleMania card. But we've also seen WWE throw up matches on the WrestleMania card with

310
00:32:13,220 --> 00:32:17,700
little to no feud and just put in and up there and wishing everybody luck. So maybe that'll be the

311
00:32:17,700 --> 00:32:24,500
case for Gunther, Ray Mysterio and or LA Knight somehow. EOS Guy versus Roquelle Rod Regas. That is

312
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:28,500
feeling more likely after back to back weeks of interactions despite the reports of EOS versus

313
00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:32,900
Oscar WrestleMania 42. It seems like Oscar's direction is towards elements tag team titles as we

314
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:38,340
discussed earlier. And EOS Guy versus Roquelle could be one of those singles matches that we had heard

315
00:32:38,660 --> 00:32:42,660
there's gonna be a lot more women's matches on this WrestleMania card. And I'd be down with that.

316
00:32:42,660 --> 00:32:46,980
I love both these superstars. We don't need a title involved. Give me EOS versus Roquelle at

317
00:32:46,980 --> 00:32:53,140
WrestleMania doubt to try. Yeah, because I don't know about you. I feel like we're

318
00:32:53,140 --> 00:32:59,700
kels about to break out on our own. Totally great. Be a breakout star this year. The change in

319
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:06,100
look, the change in demeanor has really, really helped her this year. On the flip side, you have EOS

320
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:11,380
Guy who's beloved by everybody. So, I mean, if that's the route they go, I'm fine with that. That

321
00:33:11,380 --> 00:33:17,700
would be a hell of a matchup. And I'm really expecting like big things for Roquelle in 2026,

322
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:22,980
heading in to 2027. Another match that feels like it's coming to fruition here in Julia versus Tiffany

323
00:33:22,980 --> 00:33:28,020
Stratton versus Chelsea Green for the WWE Women's United States Championship. It's a potential few that's

324
00:33:28,020 --> 00:33:35,780
bubbling up on SmackDown right now, Dr. Dre. Yeah, it's, it's, I'm curious about how this all

325
00:33:35,780 --> 00:33:40,180
plays out because you also have the Kiana James factor in this. And Kiana had that big one over

326
00:33:40,180 --> 00:33:44,260
Charlotte. She got into the chamber and then she's kind of taking a back seat to Julia again.

327
00:33:44,260 --> 00:33:50,420
So, it's interesting to see where they go with this because like everybody in this match, I see

328
00:33:50,420 --> 00:33:58,900
could be, you know, a top, you know, women's champion contender in the next year or two. And to

329
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:03,380
have it on this level is, is, is interesting and kind of fun. This kind of reminds me of, you know,

330
00:34:03,380 --> 00:34:08,500
back in the day when the ICT title is like preview of what the main event picture is going to be two

331
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:13,940
years out. That's kind of how I get the feels for this one. And then finally, Dr. Dre, it's feeling

332
00:34:13,940 --> 00:34:20,340
like maybe the Miz and Kit Wilson could be taken on Jelly Roll and Danhausen as Kit Wilson is set

333
00:34:20,340 --> 00:34:26,340
to call out Jelly Roll on Friday's edition of SmackDown. This feels like that there's going to be some

334
00:34:26,340 --> 00:34:31,780
sort of Jelly Roll match on SmackDown, Dr. Dre. And I'm kind of happy that it involves Kit Wilson.

335
00:34:31,780 --> 00:34:36,660
Oh, yeah. And you got to have the Miz and there because the Miz is the best kind of quarterback for

336
00:34:36,660 --> 00:34:40,900
celebrities when it comes to stuff like this. It was the Logan Paul stuff like he's done this before.

337
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:50,260
I just never, you know, Danhausen and Jelly Roll teaming up was not, I don't know people say

338
00:34:50,260 --> 00:34:56,180
the bingo card. That was not in my encyclopedia. Like there was no idea this was going to, like that

339
00:34:56,180 --> 00:35:04,020
made. This may be the oddest pairing of two people you could possibly do, especially if it ends up

340
00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:11,460
being Danhausen's first match in WWE is teaming with Jelly Roll to take on Kit Wilson and the Miz.

341
00:35:11,460 --> 00:35:19,380
Like it's like the biggest hodgepodge not to mention Miz was holding Kit Wilson for Jelly Roll a

342
00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:27,060
punch and now Miz and Kit Wilson are teaming up. I'm still honestly Jeff. I'm still waiting for Danhausen

343
00:35:27,060 --> 00:35:31,860
and our truth to have their first backstage interaction though. That's all my WrestleMania. We

344
00:35:31,860 --> 00:35:36,900
got to have that at some point as well. I got to say Danhausen's been doing a great job since the

345
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:40,180
elimination chamber debacle, which I don't think it was too much of a debacle. I just think those

346
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:45,380
fans are being bent and just jackass is quite honestly. Danhausen has been very entertaining.

347
00:35:46,020 --> 00:35:51,780
I think it was just, I guess I thought the biggest issue with it was the trip to the ring.

348
00:35:51,780 --> 00:35:56,820
Like that was such a long walk in the music played for so long and the crowds like see it.

349
00:35:56,820 --> 00:36:01,780
Like you can just feel like the crowd was just not into it but because a lot of people did have no

350
00:36:01,780 --> 00:36:09,060
idea who Danhausen even was. But these short little segments and these short little quips in

351
00:36:09,060 --> 00:36:15,700
burps and so that's perfectly tailored for him. And I think he's been doing really really

352
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:19,780
well. Even the little commercial clips when he's like shooting t-shirts into the crowd with the

353
00:36:19,780 --> 00:36:27,300
Canonhausen is pretty cool little fun stuff as well. So there is our WrestleMania 42 roundup

354
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:32,340
a month from today. It will be night two of WrestleMania on April the 19th. So we are very,

355
00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:38,660
very, very, very close. Speaking of being close to you've got WrestleMania 43 next year,

356
00:36:38,660 --> 00:36:44,740
Dr. Trey. It'll be in Saudi Arabia. There is a WWE show that is coming up in July for

357
00:36:44,740 --> 00:36:53,540
night of champions and due to the tensions/war in the Middle East. Brian Alvarez recently reported

358
00:36:53,540 --> 00:36:58,020
that had been discussions about the two WWE shows in Saudi Arabia this year as well as next year's

359
00:36:58,020 --> 00:37:03,540
WrestleMania 43. I made the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. It is emphasized that although

360
00:37:03,540 --> 00:37:10,500
there have been discussion, no decisions been made yet. So some interesting twists right now.

361
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:17,060
And some more layered context to this is WrestleVotes reported late today that WWE night of champions

362
00:37:17,060 --> 00:37:21,780
PLD has been slated to take place in Saudi Arabia. But it's been learned from sources in Stanford

363
00:37:21,780 --> 00:37:27,700
that is now quote doubtful at best end quote due to the ongoing conflicts across the region.

364
00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:32,340
Dr. Trey. I feel like we've been down this road before with the shows in Saudi Arabia. But this

365
00:37:32,340 --> 00:37:38,500
is definitely amplified a lot more with what's going on in Iran right now. Very rarely we talk about

366
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:43,380
world issues on this podcast but this is affecting professional wrestling. Does it look like night of

367
00:37:43,380 --> 00:37:49,620
champions is happening and WrestleMania 43 could be in danger? Your thoughts on some world news

368
00:37:49,620 --> 00:37:56,500
bleeding into our wrestling world that we love. You mean the royal family of Saudi Arabia didn't

369
00:37:56,500 --> 00:38:01,220
ask Triple H if they could book the Irish sheet to make everything smooth and happy? I'm shocked.

370
00:38:01,220 --> 00:38:04,740
I mean they asked for Yoko Zun. I mean that you would think they would at least ask for the Irish

371
00:38:04,740 --> 00:38:09,380
sheet to make an appearance to let Iran know hey don't bomb us we have the Irish sheet here but they

372
00:38:09,380 --> 00:38:14,980
know they can't do that so you caught me on a drink in a water by the way. I was I'm like Jeff

373
00:38:14,980 --> 00:38:20,020
this is this is radio gold here and you're no selling it for me come on. No I was I was drinking water

374
00:38:20,020 --> 00:38:24,660
folks completely pulling back the current here. You need I think they at least get a spit tank at least

375
00:38:24,660 --> 00:38:28,500
or something. I could have done that but it would be all over my computer string and you know how

376
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:38,980
Apple is so that's true. No it's frustrating anytime world real world stuff crosses over to professional

377
00:38:38,980 --> 00:38:43,700
wrestling because that's why we're into professional wrestling because it takes us away from the real world.

378
00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:50,820
It sucks but on the flip side that means whenever night of champions occurs if it's not inside

379
00:38:50,820 --> 00:38:55,460
of Arabia I don't have to get up at the ass crack of dawn to watch it. I can actually sleep in a

380
00:38:55,460 --> 00:39:01,940
little bit and catch it as normal time. I'm still dreading WrestleMania kicking off at like 11 a.m.

381
00:39:01,940 --> 00:39:09,780
Just I'm sorry in my head for next year. Then well if it's anything like the rumble I think it's

382
00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:15,300
already here on the east coast one p.m. So yeah for you would be what noon time noon yeah like I'm

383
00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:23,860
not I was I didn't hate it I gotta be honest. I'd rather have my day right take it up in my night.

384
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:31,700
Yeah but that's two days of like getting tired of now I'm sure like I guess granted like after

385
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:35,540
WrestleMania I can make it up to we can make it up to our wives and take them out to dinner.

386
00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:42,420
We just spent four hours in front of the TV on a Saturday afternoon in the middle of spring

387
00:39:42,420 --> 00:39:48,820
watching a wrestling show. Baby I'll take you to dinner and you know bed bath beyond or something

388
00:39:48,820 --> 00:39:54,500
to make up for it it gives husbands a chance to kind of smooth things over the same night but

389
00:39:54,500 --> 00:40:00,180
yeah like just in the middle of the day I mean I got you know we have kids and we have lives and

390
00:40:00,180 --> 00:40:04,820
there's you know there's stuff to do around the house and now we have to stop into what not that I'm

391
00:40:04,820 --> 00:40:10,900
complaining it's just it's so outside of the norm that you know it kind of throws off like it's one

392
00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:16,580
thing it was winter time and I can't go outside and do anything anyway that's fine but like in the

393
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:23,540
middle of spring like today it was 81 and sunny like if I was sitting inside watching watching WrestleMania

394
00:40:23,540 --> 00:40:28,820
you know watching a wrestling pay-per-view and not being outside and doing something productive I

395
00:40:28,820 --> 00:40:33,140
would probably kick myself later on. Well that's the big joke over the last several years I mean I

396
00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:39,300
remember the last couple years when Stan deliver was on like 11 a.m. East it would be like what was

397
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:44,340
it smack down on Friday then the Hall of Fame which ended like really late like 1 a.m. 2 a.m.

398
00:40:44,340 --> 00:40:51,460
on the East Coast then I would get up for an 11 a.m. 12 a.m. 12 p.m. noon time show for Stan deliver

399
00:40:51,460 --> 00:40:56,420
and then that would end around like 2.33 o'clock and then you had just a couple hours before

400
00:40:56,420 --> 00:41:01,220
WrestleMania pre-show started because I would try to watch the pre-show and then that was Saturday

401
00:41:01,220 --> 00:41:05,700
and then Sunday felt like a whole new day like I could do things in the morning in the afternoon

402
00:41:05,700 --> 00:41:10,420
and then WrestleMania at night. I always tell the story from WrestleMania 35 I'm

403
00:41:10,420 --> 00:41:16,580
a rescidding on my couch at like 4.30 4.45 for the show to begin at 5 because they were doing matches

404
00:41:16,580 --> 00:41:25,060
on the USA network remember like FTR Hawkinson Rider battling it out and not being done until like 12.15

405
00:41:25,060 --> 00:41:31,060
a.m. on the next day. Well even that was what started the two-night WrestleMania so WrestleMania is a

406
00:41:31,060 --> 00:41:35,380
grind I'm fine with what they're doing this year with no Stan deliver certainly just doing the

407
00:41:35,380 --> 00:41:40,260
shows at night the Saudi Arabia thing we'll have to see what they end up doing the times because

408
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:44,260
a huge point huge stick of point was coming out of the rumble was that the crowd wasn't good which

409
00:41:44,260 --> 00:41:51,060
was not the case at all for a lot of the Saudi Arabia shows recently however this show I guess

410
00:41:51,060 --> 00:41:55,620
reportedly ended it like 2 a.m. in Saudi Arabia so they could be on at a reasonable time in the East

411
00:41:55,620 --> 00:42:02,020
coast and people didn't give a shit and they were tired and that showed on the television that was

412
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:06,900
not a good crowd reaction rumble which now has people talking about WrestleMania crowd reactions

413
00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:11,940
I think more importantly like WrestleMania in general they've got plenty of time before they have to

414
00:42:11,940 --> 00:42:19,140
pull the plug here theoretically but what see where things go I mean if it's summertime and this is

415
00:42:19,140 --> 00:42:24,820
still going on are they got to do show in Saudi Arabia probably not because then they are got a scramble

416
00:42:24,820 --> 00:42:28,660
for backup plan and then what do they do they crawl back to the superdoma New Orleans and say hey we're

417
00:42:28,660 --> 00:42:34,660
sorry about that we're coming back to you guys um yeah that was original yep that was supposed to be

418
00:42:34,660 --> 00:42:41,940
the original place for WrestleMania 43 was New Orleans as the rock announced so very interesting stuff

419
00:42:41,940 --> 00:42:48,340
as world issues make their way into our wrestling problems that we have right now this being what's

420
00:42:48,340 --> 00:42:54,020
the status of WrestleMania 43 and night of champions PLE probably not happening at least in Saudi Arabia

421
00:42:54,020 --> 00:43:00,180
this July going back to this year's WrestleMania card I brought it up on last week's show.trace

422
00:43:00,180 --> 00:43:05,060
we would talk about it this week so here we are WWE on the men's side they are going with CM Punk

423
00:43:05,060 --> 00:43:10,740
Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes to carry WrestleMania 42 from the men is this the right or

424
00:43:10,740 --> 00:43:18,260
wrong loop because here we are in 2006 Reigns Orton punk at least three of them 14 15 years ago

425
00:43:18,260 --> 00:43:24,820
were top stars in the business 2012 13 14 Cody Rhodes was was up and coming but I don't think we

426
00:43:24,820 --> 00:43:29,940
ever thought we'd see him in this echelon of of these names and here they are in 2026 and they are

427
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:36,340
carrying the banner of professional wrestling in the WWE WrestleMania 42 yet again are you fine with

428
00:43:36,340 --> 00:43:41,300
this move is this the right move or would you like to see a change at the top of Mount Rushmore when

429
00:43:41,300 --> 00:43:50,020
it comes to men's side to carry WrestleMania 42 I think on one side I'm like if his punk and Reigns

430
00:43:50,020 --> 00:43:54,660
on that side I'm okay I think you know early this year we thought we talked about like you know

431
00:43:54,660 --> 00:44:00,020
Braun Breaker really took off you could put him in that spot I think next year's more likely for

432
00:44:00,020 --> 00:44:05,940
Braun Breaker in that spot on the Smackdown side like that's why I was clamoring for you know

433
00:44:05,940 --> 00:44:11,700
getting Jacob Fattu into the mix and even if you make it a multi person match like getting him

434
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:21,220
that exposure and getting him exposed to a you know a huge event audience of just casual fans

435
00:44:21,220 --> 00:44:28,660
also maybe making those of those casual fans Jacob Fattu fan would be pretty awesome so I guess with

436
00:44:28,660 --> 00:44:34,180
punk and Reigns I'm okay with it because also that's also a match we have really not seen in

437
00:44:34,180 --> 00:44:42,980
what 15 years those guys go at it so I guess one on one I'm okay with it Cody and Orden on paper

438
00:44:42,980 --> 00:44:47,540
I would have been fine with almost any of the time of the year just with all the build that we had

439
00:44:47,540 --> 00:44:52,740
for the Jacob Fattu Drew McIntyre Cody stuff to then pivot to Cody and Randy this kind of late the

440
00:44:52,740 --> 00:45:00,500
game like I guess I'm I like it but I would rather have Jacob Fattu in that spot. It's funny and what

441
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:04,420
you pointed out there where you mentioned like Braun Breaker because I'm in the same boat as you I

442
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:09,780
would not surprise me that a WrestleMania 43 you got Braun Breaker Oba Femi Jacob Fattu at the top

443
00:45:09,780 --> 00:45:15,700
for the men's side and LA night like guys it can be completely swapped from what we're seeing this

444
00:45:15,700 --> 00:45:22,180
year and you know it doesn't feel like in years past where we'll always be like Triple H at the top

445
00:45:22,180 --> 00:45:29,060
performing where it just felt like the same guys all the time or even Cena even though these are

446
00:45:29,060 --> 00:45:36,740
guys that have been household names and professional wrestling for 15 20 25 years it feels fresh

447
00:45:36,740 --> 00:45:41,780
and new to me it's Orden in Rhodes like we've never seen an Orden Rhodes feud with Cody at this

448
00:45:41,780 --> 00:45:47,940
character we've never really seen a punk reigns feud so it's fresh and these guys are fresh and

449
00:45:47,940 --> 00:45:53,540
these guys are performing and they're entertaining and it's fun so it doesn't feel like the wrong move

450
00:45:53,540 --> 00:45:58,020
to me it feels like the right move it feels like actually for this WrestleMania this makes the most

451
00:45:58,020 --> 00:46:02,980
sense to me and they're bringing it and and there were some some holes with what was going on

452
00:46:02,980 --> 00:46:08,500
especially with injuries on the men's side I think the women are are are set they're solid that's

453
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:12,660
why they're going to be getting some matches that probably don't have titles involved which is pretty

454
00:46:12,660 --> 00:46:18,740
cool because they've been just doing a bang up job compared to the men in WWE right now but when

455
00:46:18,740 --> 00:46:23,540
you look at the men's side of who could be carrying the top matches I think these four guys are the

456
00:46:23,540 --> 00:46:28,820
right choices let's see we're at in the next year with Oba Braun LA night Jacob Fatouk as those four

457
00:46:28,820 --> 00:46:35,940
guys could be literally carrying it with championship matches moving forward so I don't know things

458
00:46:35,940 --> 00:46:41,620
have changed from me here in the last week Dr. Trey while WWE is definitely stagnant I think I could

459
00:46:41,620 --> 00:46:46,580
see things down the road run like this could be exciting if this is executed correctly we could be

460
00:46:46,580 --> 00:46:51,540
watching some really cool things so I'm fine with the four household names carrying WrestleMania this

461
00:46:51,540 --> 00:46:59,540
year yeah and I think Parv is also like you know Oba getting called up a little late the injury to

462
00:46:59,540 --> 00:47:05,540
Braun break or the injury to Braun's in the read I think that kind of through plans off I mean we could

463
00:47:05,540 --> 00:47:11,940
have seen a couple of those guys in bigger spots I mean you got Oba Femi and Brock Les that's a big

464
00:47:11,940 --> 00:47:18,420
spot for Oba Femi you do Jacob Fatouk and Drew McIntyre that's still a big spot for Jacob Fatouk

465
00:47:18,420 --> 00:47:24,740
would would I have liked to see that be like hey let's do Cody Randy Drew and Jacob for the main event

466
00:47:24,740 --> 00:47:29,060
and then coming out of it Randy turns heel and we get Cody and Randy for a little while afterwards

467
00:47:29,620 --> 00:47:35,220
yeah like I've been that would have been fine with me too you know and if Braun breakers on this

468
00:47:35,220 --> 00:47:40,580
show he's get Seth Rawls these are all big spots for these young guys and that's what I'm saying this

469
00:47:40,580 --> 00:47:46,100
is like one of those like transitional years where you feel like not that the old guard is stepping

470
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:50,820
aside but they could really help elevate the younger talent and then all of a sudden now you got

471
00:47:50,820 --> 00:47:57,540
one two three you got like eight nine ten twelve guys who could headline a WrestleMania at any given

472
00:47:57,540 --> 00:48:02,900
time or the next couple years that's not a bad problem for WWE to have you but think about what

473
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:09,700
you just pointed out there as well right you mentioned Oba and Brock Jacob and Drew and you've got

474
00:48:09,700 --> 00:48:13,780
Braun and Seth like those are three guys that were air marking they could have a big match a year

475
00:48:13,780 --> 00:48:19,940
from now and those guys are with main event players in their matches and if they win those matches

476
00:48:19,940 --> 00:48:25,780
that carries them on for the next year so um don't we can we turn out some new stars so you know

477
00:48:25,780 --> 00:48:31,220
Cody has been saying that this could be a sneaky WrestleMania and I always tend to think obviously

478
00:48:31,220 --> 00:48:37,220
he knows something we don't know and he's hyping that up for a good reason and it's you can kind of

479
00:48:37,220 --> 00:48:43,620
see for lack of better terms the vision right now of where WrestleMania 42 is and how it could be

480
00:48:43,620 --> 00:48:48,660
that turning of the page moment potentially or at least a table setter for turning the page moment

481
00:48:48,660 --> 00:48:54,580
a year from now whether it be in Saudi Arabia New Orleans or somewhere else for WWE so with WWE

482
00:48:54,580 --> 00:49:03,140
riding those four guys right now it makes sense and it's good business I'm not bored by it's it's

483
00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:08,340
good storylines it's fresh matchups and I'm here for it so I think it's the right move feel free to

484
00:49:08,340 --> 00:49:15,940
chime in with your thoughts over at patreon.com/srtupodcast with that being said let's recap AW

485
00:49:15,940 --> 00:49:22,180
revolution from this past Sunday from the crypto.com arena in Los Angeles California in zero hour you

486
00:49:22,180 --> 00:49:27,220
had boom and doom Dr. Trace for every tag team to feed the infantry of course because they've

487
00:49:27,220 --> 00:49:32,340
been battling it out in AW television last several weeks. Willow Knight yelled a feed to colossal

488
00:49:32,340 --> 00:49:38,340
arena across to retain the AW TV as championship Jack Perry won the 20 man black Jack battle royal for

489
00:49:38,340 --> 00:49:44,020
the AW national championship any thoughts on the zero hour matches and result Dr. Tray.

490
00:49:44,020 --> 00:49:52,100
The risk got face palm by Shane Taylor like that little little chubby kid so I'm good with that

491
00:49:52,100 --> 00:50:01,860
that was fun I really hate I mean I get it they're popular on the internets but the infantry's a

492
00:50:01,860 --> 00:50:10,100
damn good tag team and just don't get enough credit for it so that kind of stuck for them I I didn't

493
00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:15,860
like the willow match at first but then it led into you know the results for a match later on

494
00:50:15,860 --> 00:50:24,020
and I like that part and then the national title getting lost in a 20 man battle royal thing though

495
00:50:24,020 --> 00:50:29,860
I even though ricochet was you know the final two I just really hate when title changes occur

496
00:50:29,860 --> 00:50:34,900
in battle royals and it doesn't involve Ric Flair like hiding under the ring. Yeah I'm not a fan

497
00:50:34,900 --> 00:50:40,980
in the national title quite honestly either. I was under the name. Did you ever feel like they just

498
00:50:40,980 --> 00:50:44,820
made that belt to give ricochet a single title so people shut the hell up about ricochet not

499
00:50:44,820 --> 00:50:50,100
when the single title in AW title was supposed to be like defended on Indy scenes and I think there's

500
00:50:50,100 --> 00:50:55,220
been more AW world title matches on independent shows than there has been national matches that was

501
00:50:55,220 --> 00:50:59,220
something with the international champion was supposed to be defended overseas and barely ever did

502
00:50:59,220 --> 00:51:09,220
that it's they need to chill out on these titles honestly. So anyway I guess should we bring this

503
00:51:09,220 --> 00:51:15,700
up the ricochet comments about him wishing a fan fan who had MS tweeted at him and said I'm glad

504
00:51:15,700 --> 00:51:21,300
you have MS he later apologized to it there's some reports out there that he could be in hot water

505
00:51:21,300 --> 00:51:28,100
water with the AW it could actually potentially be fired from this. I know you want to play

506
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:33,220
heal but sometimes like don't cross the line like that's someone legitimately dealing with MS like

507
00:51:33,220 --> 00:51:39,060
what are we doing? I don't I don't understand AW because you know they they had to cancel

508
00:51:39,060 --> 00:51:43,860
Tramagell's contract because of stuff he said I know what you're going to get to here go for it

509
00:51:43,860 --> 00:51:50,340
I mean but yet you know you get this you you MJF can say whatever he wants to but then ricochet says

510
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,420
something and people get a herb but then you bring in Ronda Rousey you that's it yeah playing sand

511
00:51:54,420 --> 00:51:59,940
you hook was a was a red a false flag operation and it took her 10 plus years to apologize for it

512
00:52:00,820 --> 00:52:05,140
yeah but not to mention like and then look at look at what they're talking like there could be a case if

513
00:52:05,140 --> 00:52:10,180
you go back to um oh what was that woman's name that was the woman who's married to center

514
00:52:10,180 --> 00:52:17,060
Alexander that was an AW. Oh uh big swole big swole you go back to big swoles comments about Tony

515
00:52:17,060 --> 00:52:21,860
Conn at times and you're looking at going okay so we got Tramagell and ricochet they're in trouble

516
00:52:21,860 --> 00:52:26,500
for what they said but Ronda isn't in trouble for what she said you're giving her more money

517
00:52:27,140 --> 00:52:33,860
MJF can be an asshole all the time you don't reprimand him well two people look like and the other two

518
00:52:33,860 --> 00:52:38,020
people look alike and the two people on the Tramagell ricochet start of the ones who were in trouble

519
00:52:38,020 --> 00:52:44,500
so from the way they handle Tramagell and then the briskos before Jay passed away sadly like just

520
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:50,260
it doesn't make it doesn't make sense where it it feels like double standards double standards like

521
00:52:50,260 --> 00:52:54,260
if you can make us money we'll figure out a way to make it okay but if you're not drawn it's a lot of

522
00:52:54,260 --> 00:52:58,660
money we're dying with you it's not worth the headache because how they kind of look at it. We'll

523
00:52:58,660 --> 00:53:03,300
get to the result here but I mean there's a major story with Tony Storm that came out recently um

524
00:53:03,300 --> 00:53:07,780
that can overshadow this I mean the Ronda Rousey stuff I mean I was in favor of her joining

525
00:53:07,780 --> 00:53:11,780
don't do we when she debuted and thought it was a big deal I know you were not a huge fan of a

526
00:53:11,780 --> 00:53:17,140
doctorate because you didn't watch a lot of MMA I gotta be honest with you in 2026 I don't want to

527
00:53:17,140 --> 00:53:23,060
see Ronda Rousey in a wrestling ring like I could care less and it's the stuff that you said. I would

528
00:53:23,060 --> 00:53:28,900
rather see Gina Carano honestly because I know this is all hype for the Carano Rousey like

529
00:53:28,900 --> 00:53:36,900
on Netflix by the way on Netflix yeah so not an HBO Max yeah but like or Paramount because Paramount

530
00:53:36,900 --> 00:53:44,180
and HBO Max are emerging um but yeah like I don't I don't get the logic like I'm not a Rousey

531
00:53:44,180 --> 00:53:48,740
think as Rousey does not give a shit about wrestling. This is Rousey shoving an WWE's ass let's just

532
00:53:48,740 --> 00:53:54,900
be honest. Yeah that's all it is it's just her trying to get back at them and I'm like it makes no sense

533
00:53:54,900 --> 00:54:01,220
because you're gonna end up promoting a Rousey fight on Netflix which will get more viewers and

534
00:54:01,220 --> 00:54:08,820
subscribers to Netflix which pays WWE. But get back at WWE for what like they put her in spots that

535
00:54:08,820 --> 00:54:15,140
she did not deserve she never really improved in the wrestling ring her character was extremely

536
00:54:15,140 --> 00:54:20,100
flat on the microphone. I wouldn't say it was not a success because she helped get the women to

537
00:54:20,100 --> 00:54:24,740
the main event of WrestleMania in Wrestling 35 however I don't think it lived up to the potential

538
00:54:24,740 --> 00:54:32,020
at least I had as someone who watched her as a mainstream major star athlete that was transcending

539
00:54:32,020 --> 00:54:38,660
MMA for females and was a household name it did not correlate well in professional wrestling and

540
00:54:38,660 --> 00:54:43,620
in 2026 the shines completely off the luster is completely off I think most wrestling fans are

541
00:54:43,620 --> 00:54:48,260
turned off by her and it's not like in a heel kind of way like oh I don't want her back she's gonna

542
00:54:48,260 --> 00:54:54,340
be a great heel though I think it's a legit like just stay away because her shit talking WWE to

543
00:54:54,340 --> 00:54:59,220
sell her books like that was just a way to get people to buy the book and she could shit talk them

544
00:54:59,220 --> 00:55:05,060
all they want but they made her look as best as she could and it just didn't work out I don't care

545
00:55:05,060 --> 00:55:11,940
about this f you to WWE either from Rhonda or AEW or both like to me just keep her off television she's

546
00:55:11,940 --> 00:55:19,460
not entertaining she is the worst may I'll say she's the word I don't say mainstream you are MMA fighter

547
00:55:19,460 --> 00:55:27,780
but she is the absolute worst at least mid card level MMA fighter to make the transition to pro wrestling

548
00:55:27,780 --> 00:55:35,620
as far as in ring acumen like Riddles better like he made the transition Shamrock held dance severance

549
00:55:35,620 --> 00:55:40,260
of better damn wrestlers like there's so many people that made the transition she could never for

550
00:55:40,260 --> 00:55:45,380
somebody who has a martial arts background and then a background she could never get the footwork

551
00:55:45,380 --> 00:55:54,980
and timing down and it just it I can't think of one actual good Rhonda rousey match no no it's

552
00:55:54,980 --> 00:56:00,420
hard to find and what about the promos I mean they were brutal they got it I will say her promo

553
00:56:00,420 --> 00:56:06,660
has got a little better right wish he was wrapping up which he was a heel like yeah because that was

554
00:56:06,660 --> 00:56:12,100
always the problem with ronda was they booked yours a baby face and nobody wants to like ronda rousey

555
00:56:12,100 --> 00:56:18,020
in the ring like you want to like her as a back then people liked her I have to admit back then

556
00:56:18,020 --> 00:56:22,580
people I mean she got an amazing reaction to the royal rumbling when she debuted yeah but it was

557
00:56:22,580 --> 00:56:29,540
it was within six months the bloom was off the rose yeah because she was not a performing well

558
00:56:29,540 --> 00:56:34,580
yeah and she just always had that cocky arrogance about her that she was better than

559
00:56:35,300 --> 00:56:39,860
the wrestlers and it's like no no no you kind of got to if you're going to be a baby face you got to play

560
00:56:39,860 --> 00:56:44,260
humble a little bit or you got to be the rock like there's no real middle ground you either got to be

561
00:56:44,260 --> 00:56:49,540
super entertaining or at least be like look I'm coming in here I'm a bus my ass I'm make the best

562
00:56:49,540 --> 00:56:54,660
impression I can I just hope the fans have my back that type of you have to almost have that humility to

563
00:56:54,660 --> 00:57:02,420
it she never had that and she is not charismatic at all no very boring very plan yeah anyway we'll say

564
00:57:02,420 --> 00:57:08,820
that for ronda rousey guys episode one dot train i podcast dot patreon dot com slash srt podcast

566
00:57:14,340 --> 00:57:21,220
came out and now they'll be vying for the tag team titles at dynasty coming up in april and we saw

567
00:57:21,220 --> 00:57:25,140
that there's some sort of lingering feud between these three teams it feels like something major will

568
00:57:25,140 --> 00:57:29,940
be happening at double or nothing in new york city in may time was totally stormed feed him rena

569
00:57:29,940 --> 00:57:34,980
shaffir they ran an angle where to me was injured on dynamite didn't feel like it was anything major

570
00:57:34,980 --> 00:57:39,300
but now the reports are out there that to me will be out of action for quote a long time due to

571
00:57:39,300 --> 00:57:44,660
an injury or injuries which is extremely upsetting the time with stony storm is going to be off

00:57:55,060 --> 00:58:01,380
bleak christian very happy that will osprey's back divine dominion mega bane colossal lena cross

576
00:58:06,180 --> 00:58:10,820
i'll take a pause there dr. tre anything you want to talk about with those a w matches and the

577
00:58:10,820 --> 00:58:19,060
aftermath you give me ftr i guess i can call them cnc instead of e in cnc and the young bucks

578
00:58:19,060 --> 00:58:25,700
a double or nothing that may be the ultimate wrestling dream match for a tag team i got i don't

579
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:33,060
know like we had the hardies edging christian and dodele's but for overall production and prominence

580
00:58:33,060 --> 00:58:38,580
in tag team wrestling i don't know if you could put three teams better together than those three teams

581
00:58:38,580 --> 00:58:43,700
i mean i'm really excited sir and i'm also excited to see edging christian rcdk or caging cope

582
00:58:44,180 --> 00:58:51,540
to together in van koever coming up a dinosaur i'm excited about that one uh the divine what would

583
00:58:51,540 --> 00:58:57,860
you call them the divine what the divine dominion divine dominion is that a w's answer to like the

584
00:58:57,860 --> 00:59:02,740
brothers and the structures is too big badass women's a tag team and no way is going to be able to touch

585
00:59:02,740 --> 00:59:09,700
them for a while i guess uh to and then here's the thing about the run to thing we were it was looking

586
00:59:09,700 --> 00:59:13,540
like you might get ronda and tooni and now with this injury that kind of blows up their plans so

587
00:59:13,540 --> 00:59:18,820
then what do you do with do you do ronda rousey and mercenaries mone at some point i don't know how you

588
00:59:18,820 --> 00:59:25,460
get back what what what's the payoff for ronda making his appearance now there was no yeah there's

589
00:59:25,460 --> 00:59:31,860
nobody on dynamite right because i think the injury blew up the angle so i don't think they knew

590
00:59:31,860 --> 00:59:37,780
what they'll do so they're like because there's nobody you can put her with that fans would feel

591
00:59:37,780 --> 00:59:44,820
like her is on her level other than mercenaries mone yeah yeah i like that would be your dream match right

592
00:59:44,820 --> 00:59:51,700
yeah and but mercenaries hasn't been on tv in a while uh and she was a heel and people want to

593
00:59:51,700 --> 00:59:56,980
boo ronda so you got to make mercenaries a baby face when she comes back to make that match happen

594
00:59:56,980 --> 01:00:00,900
so it is going to be interesting to see what the payoff of this ronda thing is with the toni injury

595
01:00:01,780 --> 01:00:08,100
yeah it it'll yeah i felt felt like to me like toni versus uh ronda was happening and doubled or nothing

596
01:00:08,100 --> 01:00:12,580
but who knows now so there you go and then the second off of the card here he had swerve

597
01:00:12,580 --> 01:00:17,300
strickland defeat brody king uh he is the new number one contender for the eight of a world championship

598
01:00:17,300 --> 01:00:23,860
we'd be taking on um Kenny omega on dynamite this Wednesday Kenny will be putting up his EVP status

599
01:00:23,860 --> 01:00:28,260
shortly putting up his number one contendership i love the line that swerve strickland and no idea he

600
01:00:28,260 --> 01:00:33,540
was the number one contender uh that was funny uh tecla defeated chris statlander two to once

601
01:00:33,540 --> 01:00:38,580
retain a w women's world championship in the two out of three falls match mystico and jets beat

602
01:00:38,580 --> 01:00:43,140
defeated the dawn cows family okaada fletcher and davis to win the a w world trios championship that

603
01:00:43,140 --> 01:00:49,140
was a shock on trite alito defeated bandito darby on orange casting rodrick strong defeated the dogs

604
01:00:49,140 --> 01:00:54,580
david finley gabe kib and clark conners and mjf defeated hangman anapage to retain a w world

605
01:00:54,580 --> 01:01:00,260
championship in a texas deathmatch and hangman anapage can never challenge for the eight of a world

606
01:01:00,260 --> 01:01:05,780
championship again and reportedly he'll be away from w a w television for some time now uh dr

607
01:01:05,780 --> 01:01:10,500
schreya thoughts here on the rest of the eight of a revolution card and aftermath that may have been

608
01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:14,820
one of the most brutal texas deathmatches i've ever seen that was up there it was it was pretty it

609
01:01:14,820 --> 01:01:19,940
was pretty damn violent and you gotta give credit for both those guys to just go let's just go balls

610
01:01:19,940 --> 01:01:25,380
out and just did i did i like thoroughly enjoy it now it was it might have been a little too violent

611
01:01:25,380 --> 01:01:31,460
for my liking but it was it's still for those die hard blood and guts fans that that was a damn good

612
01:01:31,460 --> 01:01:36,260
match uh swarov and brody was a damn good match too and and even though brody lost it still made

613
01:01:36,260 --> 01:01:42,420
him look like you know upper upper main event guy uh and then you were actually right like the

614
01:01:42,420 --> 01:01:46,260
fact of swarov didn't know because they didn't say they didn't really tell anybody he was gonna be

615
01:01:46,260 --> 01:01:50,340
the number one contender after that match um but it's gonna be interesting to see what happens with

616
01:01:50,340 --> 01:01:57,140
this because as much as we all love swarov he is a heel now and mjf is a heel and does that mean that

617
01:01:57,140 --> 01:02:02,740
we're gonna get some kind of angle where can he becomes the number one contender to get to mjf um

618
01:02:02,740 --> 01:02:10,340
mystico and jessby beating okada fletcher and davis is so underrated in the sense of

619
01:02:10,340 --> 01:02:15,620
you just had three really really young guys beat two of your top guys in this trio's match and

620
01:02:15,620 --> 01:02:21,380
even though uh mark day was involved in he's not on the level the perception level of okada and

621
01:02:21,380 --> 01:02:26,340
fletcher like it's still big in their thing and and why didn't they just go with calling them mystic

622
01:02:26,340 --> 01:02:33,140
speed but that sounds cool yeah i know it was that was a shock to see that result so uh mystico and

623
01:02:33,140 --> 01:02:38,820
jetsbyter newtrius champions uh a w is in a very healthy spot right now like every top star nearly

624
01:02:38,820 --> 01:02:44,580
is healthy available on on television uh but now with toney and hangman and page off tv for a little

625
01:02:44,580 --> 01:02:50,420
bit we'll see how things carry on with mjf willos brage i'm moxley and more carrying the company

626
01:02:50,420 --> 01:02:55,380
