1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:21.320
It's libited. Welcome everybody. Welcome
to this week's edition The Snowreal Does Show,

2
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:26.120
Episode number seven hundred and thirty eight
for April fourth, twenty twenty four.

3
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:34.600
Welcome to your WrestleMania forty pre show
edition of s r T You I

4
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.520
am one after the show, I
am Jeff Peck. Joined every single week

5
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.679
in my host The Lonely Doctor Tray
Franklin Doctor Trey. For the fourteenth time

6
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.799
in SRTU history, we preview WrestleMania. My friend, Uh, this is

7
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:53.679
always kind of like my nostalgia show
in a way because my first time really

8
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:59.520
being the co host was on a
WrestleMania show. So I'm like, I

9
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.200
get excited because I get to kind
of relive my previous twelve years now with

10
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.280
the show. Can I pause you
right there? Yeah? So, oddly

11
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.519
enough, I had written down a
note in my phone at one time and

12
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:17.159
we must have been talking about like
how long you've been with It must have

13
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.560
been some sort of like big show
for us, because I wrote down and

14
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.719
I just found out my phone today. Oddly enough, Captain's first show as

15
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.719
full time host March twenty ninth,
twenty twelve, it was to preview Wrestle

16
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.000
Manti twenty eight, episode number one
hundred and eleven. It is now episode

17
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.959
number seven thirty eight, and it's
April fourth, twenty twenty four, so

18
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.359
officially twelve years now being the co
host wrestled Maybia twenty eight, which is

19
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.000
actually still one of my least favorite
WrestleManias but for all but yeah, like

20
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.439
that's why I get excited because it
brings all that, all that back to

21
00:01:52.480 --> 00:02:00.359
me. I remember being parked on
the side of a mountain discussing WrestleMania Team

22
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.000
nine with you. At one point
we were on this. We did like

23
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.239
an hour and forty five minutes on
that show. It's like, it's crazy,

24
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.199
how far like six hundred episodes,
six hundred twenty seven episodes now,

25
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.680
Like it's amazing for me just to
reflect on twelve years, like I said

26
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.199
before, like you like not too
long ago. Like I have a sixteen

27
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.240
year old daughter who I saw the
show she was four, you know,

28
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.840
and now we have little Saty Franklin
running around with Spider Man and Carnage,

29
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.360
yelling at Kirby Ponder's attendance. Whitch. So all these things that have happened

30
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.639
in twelve years, which doesn't seem
like, you know, you've been doing

31
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.400
fourteen years. I've been doing twelve. It doesn't seem like it's been twelve

32
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.800
years. But dear God, I
mean, at one point, Jeff Cole

33
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.960
Cobannon see a punk, we're friends. We did this. Yeah, there's

34
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.159
a lot of stuff that was going
on. Aw wasn't around Tony Kahn's family

35
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.280
didn't known Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah,
there was a bunch of stuff that was

36
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.360
going on when we first started recording
this podcast. This is my fifth teenth

37
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.800
year covering WrestleMania in a podcast form. The first time I was on the

38
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.319
Wheelhouse, it was for Wrestlemaning twenty
five. I remember being in New York

39
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.960
City in a studio and we were
on blog Talk Radio Live that evening,

40
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.360
and I remember always remember that in
the chat. I don't think you called

41
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:22.639
it. I think it was in
the chat that you had written that Ray

42
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.919
Mysterio just defeated JBL to win the
Intercontinental Championship in less than a minute and

43
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.199
JBL immediately retired after the match.
I always remember that. So it's like

44
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:37.159
wild to think here we are fifteen
years later and we're talking into microphones about

45
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:43.319
this. Podcasting when we first started
covering professional wrestling was very new at the

46
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.599
time. Now everybody has a podcast, and podcasting has evolved so much.

47
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:53.840
Even the audio form of podcasting is
almost outdated to it a point. It's

48
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.360
a lot of people watching stuff on
YouTube or Vimeo or TikTok, Instagram,

49
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.000
what have you. Twitch people are
now watching podcasts, which is kind of

50
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:09.199
funny. We've we've gone from audio
being the cool thing to now video is

51
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:14.319
the cool thing. So I guess
maybe video killed the podcast are maybe so

52
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.240
fourteen years of covering WrestleManias here previewing
WrestleMania is it's something else. So from

53
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.480
wrestlming in twenty five when I was
on a wheelhouse to Wrestlemanting twenty six being

54
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.800
the first one we ever covered in
the history of the still Real does show

55
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:33.519
in Phoenix, Arizona, to today
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for WrestleMania forty.

56
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.800
It has been a wild ride.
It has been a fun ride, and

57
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.920
we all brace ourselves. This is
like the first official kickoff for me,

58
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.240
for Doctor Trey, for Everyboddy that's
listening to this podcast, hopefully the same

59
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.560
for you to WrestleMania Weekend. I
joke around, especially the last couple of

60
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.560
years when it's been two nights,
that at the end of this all,

61
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.240
we all should have a T shirt
that they sell. Actually, I think

62
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.480
they should give it away that says
I survived wrestle Ay forty weekend because Friday

63
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:08.079
night you've got SmackDown right after the
Hall of Fame ceremony, Saturday Morning Stand

64
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.800
and the Liver, Saturday Night Wrestling
forty uh, Sunday Night Wrestling forty night

65
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.360
too, Monday Night, the RYE
after WrestleMania Tuesday Night, the NXT after

66
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.399
Standing Liver Wednesday. I guess there's
a break from we programming, but if

67
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:27.199
you tune inn aw WHI just continues
on and on. It is something to

68
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.959
behold, Doctor Trey. When we
first started, it was just one night.

69
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.279
There was no NXT, it was
just one show. There was the

70
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:38.160
Hall of Fame the night before,
and now it's just NonStop. And I'm

71
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.839
not even including the things that they've
added to it. The kickoff show to

72
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.240
the weekend on Friday afternoon, the
Slammys on Sunday morning now is back.

73
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:53.000
It's it's a wild ride, Doctor
Tray. I feel like at times that

74
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.199
maybe it's it's a bit much,
but I guess the way to look at

75
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.000
it is it is a celebration one
weekend a year from the standpoint to just

76
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.920
celebrate professional wrestling. Yeah, and
and you know we talk about it,

77
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:10.040
you know, fourteen years of this
show covering it, and and even at

78
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.000
twenty eight or at twenty six,
it was a big event, and it's

79
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.959
just gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. And you have all the other companies

80
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.040
that now show up to piggyback off
Wrestleman and that's been going on for probably

81
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:27.839
about really hard for about seven eight
years that we've had these you know,

82
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.360
the gc w's, the czw's,
all these our shows showing up around the

83
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.279
area. So you got all that
stuff going on. It's it's it's crazy.

84
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.959
The other thing was juggle with with
with the wife about it the other

85
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.480
day because I told her that,
you know, hey, this, you

86
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.079
know that this weekend's WrestleMania weekend.
It's two nights, and all of a

87
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.120
sudden going on, I'm like,
you know, you and I have both

88
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:53.639
gotten married and we've had to convince
our significant others that who were not really

89
00:06:53.680 --> 00:07:00.160
wrestling fans when they met us that
it's perfectly normal for us to consume twenty

90
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:06.480
some hours of wrestling over three period
and them be okay and not leave us

91
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:12.040
strand on the side of the road
somewhere. Yeah. I have this discussion

92
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.079
with my wife. I have this
discussion with my family. It's like,

93
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.800
it's wrestlemaning a weekend and they all
get it. It's like literally one weekend

94
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.399
a year where all I dedicate is
to just sit down on my couch and

95
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:27.079
watch professional wrestling. It's a lot, and I think if you've removed the

96
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.000
wrestling fandom outside of this entire thing, Doctor Trey, Like, it's crazy

97
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:35.480
how much programming is on and wrestling
fans can't get enough of it. It's

98
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:40.879
like, I would love to enjoy
my Friday or Saturday night and maybe just

99
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.319
tune in a wrestlemaning on Sunday.
But I also sat through like seven hours

100
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:50.360
of wrestlemanting thirty five and that was
wild. It's a grind. It's a

101
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:54.439
fun grind, but it's a grind. And what's crazy to me, especially

102
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.759
the last two years, is when
you look back at our shows of the

103
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:03.079
year, we always see to love
wrestlemaning, especially these last two years Wrestumanting

104
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.360
is Saturday, specifically for thirty eight
and thirty nine were some of the most

105
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.720
highest rated shows we've ever covered in
the history of SRTU, and that is

106
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:15.279
sandwiched in between a SmackDown a Hall
of Fame on a Friday, a stand

107
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.720
in the liver on Saturday morning,
and then knowing that another show is coming

108
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.199
Sunday night, Like that's that's pretty
amazing that by that point, middle of

109
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.079
Saturday, middle of it all,
that we're so entertained, this show still

110
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:31.120
resonates where it's matched the event of
the year quality that we're not completely exhausted,

111
00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:33.399
ready to tap out and go what
the hell am I doing with my

112
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.759
life? I do think there's also
a little bit of thankfulness to that.

113
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.799
Now, look, the last two
wrestleme has been fantastic. I'm not going

114
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.200
to question our judgment on it.
But we also came out of the pandemic

115
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:50.360
era and a little bit of the
Vince Booking era. Because I don't really

116
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:56.120
think that maybe thirty four and thirty
five we're up to par where we would

117
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.360
like them to be. Then you
know, we kind of leaned into the

118
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.679
pandemic era and then coming out of
it and a little bit of you know,

119
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.399
you don't know what you got un
till it's gone have been the last

120
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.960
two Wrestlemans. But the booking has
been really solid, the performance have been

121
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.960
really solid, and plus you have
really strong competition kind of pushing the envelope

122
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.480
as well. So I mean it's
just been kind of a perfect storm of

123
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.879
everything coming together. But yeah,
like if you can go, you know,

124
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.480
eight hours of WrestleMania, plus you
started adding in all the other shows

125
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.720
and like I said earlier, probably
almost close twenty hours of ww programming over

126
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.000
four days and still not be sick
of it. That that kind of tells

127
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.600
you that you're on part Now.
I will say last year month, the

128
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.559
raw after WrestleMania was god awful.
I think we all agree on that.

129
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.799
The month after WrestleMania. Yeah,
the raw after WrestleMania, the raw after

130
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.320
WrestleMania, the one that Vince took
over. Yeah, No, people were

131
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.240
not a fan of that, but
I ultimately think we all kind of like

132
00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:00.399
swallowed our pride on that because everybody
was really upset about the Brock Cody stuff,

133
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.120
and I thought that ended up being
very good. Yeah, it's funny

134
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.879
because I was listening to I've been
listening a bunch of Chris Van Valley's interviews

135
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:13.159
this week, and everybody's talking about
Cody's story, Cody story, and you

136
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.519
know, should he have won it
last year? And da da dada.

137
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:20.600
I'm like, people kind of forget
how good that brought Cody feud was and

138
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.360
that all started on that raw after
WrestleMania, and that we all kind of

139
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.120
universally hated. I think, you
know, it's it's sometimes you know,

140
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.360
we need jerk react to stuff,
and it's like, well, this actually

141
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.480
works out pretty well, sou but
it all kind of led into this,

142
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.159
so, yeah, you gotta look
at it. Go. This is almost

143
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:43.480
two years of booking and storyline leading
into this WrestleMania. Yeah. I mean,

144
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.759
there's a lot of different ways to
look at it, and I'm sure

145
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.960
we'll we'll touch upon it here later
in the show. But I get the

146
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.480
Cody story stuff, but I also
understand like how good Roman Reigns has been

147
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.639
right now, Like I think,
yeah, two, five, ten,

148
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.080
fifteen, twenty years from now,
we look back at the era of Roman

149
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.360
Reigns dominating as a world champion or
like, man that was a really good

150
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.919
time for professional wrestling. Has it
been a little bit down in the last

151
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.799
six to twelve months, Yeah,
it has been because he hasn't been on

152
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.080
television all that much. But you
can make a strong case that one of

153
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.240
the reasons why wrestling is so good
right now is because of Roman Reigns and

154
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.039
the bloodline, the creative behind them
and what they're doing in the ring,

155
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.240
and what they're doing with their matches, what they're doing with the vignettes and

156
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.440
the backstage. And that doesn't just
happen because of what some writers writing or

157
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.399
the direction the Triple H is pulling, like Roman Reigns, Paul Hayman,

158
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:39.039
Jimmy j Solo, Sammy, whoever's
involved in that storyline has to pull the

159
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.519
same, you know, make it
compelling on television. They've done that as

160
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.840
well. It's been a lot of
fun. I'm really excited for wrestling.

161
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.720
He forty weekend. It's got to
be a grind. Say goodbye to your

162
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.720
friends and family for this webcoming weekend
and hopefully everybody has a fun time sitting

163
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.639
down watching wrestling for I don't know, fifty eight hours whatever it ends up

164
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.960
being. Let's start with Friday,
right Doctor trey Wa Hall of Fame Class

165
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.679
of twenty twenty four. Get our
thoughts here. I mean, there's no

166
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.720
way we're gonna like, oh,
I predict you know, I guess there

167
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.399
are predictions and spoilers in this,
but just overall thoughts. You've got Paul

168
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.399
Hayman to be inducted by Roman Reigns. Paul mccanno is reportedly going to be

169
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.519
inducted by MENDUSA, Thunderball Patterson is
going to be inducted by his friend Scott

170
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.279
Spears, not to be confused by
Sean Spears. Leamiavilla is going to be

171
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.240
inducted by the Rock Uh, the
US Express, Barry Wyndham, and micro

172
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.720
Tunda. There at this point,
there's no induction who's inducting them quite yet?

173
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.080
And the Muhammad Ali is going to
be inducted by Lannie Ali. Don't

174
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.960
tray your thoughts on the Hall of
Fame Class of twenty twenty four. It's

175
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.759
it's a good class, I think, I mean to me, it's it's

176
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.399
a good quality class. It may
not have that headliner guy that you know

177
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.279
everybody knows, you know, it
doesn't have you know, it doesn't have

178
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.960
you know, the Hulk Cocans of
the Rocks doesn't have that name brand guy

179
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.960
that I mean. It's not the
Undertaker from last for his last year,

180
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.519
year before last, but I mean
for wrestling fans, I mean Paul Haman

181
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.320
Thunderbolt Patterson. Like, I'm really
hoping a lot of the younger folks learn

182
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.000
about him from this. Leah Mayavia, if you watch Young Rock, you

183
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.759
learned a lot about her from that. Berry Windom and Microtunda are two of

184
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.759
the greatest in ring performers of my
generation, you know, growing up.

185
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.120
So I'm really excited for the class. I am surprised at, you know,

186
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.759
Roman inducting Paul Hayman, but I
guess storyline wise, it makes sense

187
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.600
because dear God, how much fun
would have been to have CM punk induct

188
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:39.639
Paul Hayman into the Hall of Fame
in Philadelphia, you know, but it

189
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.240
makes sense. I'm and you know, I think if you listen to this

190
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.960
show long ago, everybody knows I'm
a huge Paul Hayman fan. He's Paul

191
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.240
Hayman mark. So like I'm I'm
really excited for Paul's speech on this.

192
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.120
Yeah, Hayman had an interview where
they talked about his Hall of Fame induction.

193
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.840
I guess he turned it down a
couple of times. He didn't want

194
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.240
to do it while he was active, and it got to the point where

195
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.080
he didn't want to disrespect Triple H. This is the first Hall of Fame

196
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.240
induction class that Triple H has been
behind. He did not want to disrespect

197
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.559
Triple H as the quote unquote headliner. And he also mentioned that his children

198
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:18.120
pushed him to participate in this as
well and get his flowers. So I

199
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:24.519
fully expect the speech to be wonderful
and interresting for Paul Hayman's sake. I

200
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.120
wonder if there's gonna be any type
of silencing on brock Lessner mentions. I

201
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:33.120
would imagine there isn't, So it's
going to be a fun night. To

202
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.639
me. The Hall of Fame is
like the most sincere joyous ceremony of Wrestmania

203
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.279
weekend, where it's like wrestling fans
love love note to professional wrestling, and

204
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.320
the wrestlers who are being honored love
note back to professional wrestling and the wrestling

205
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.360
fans. So I just feel like
it's such a positive energy in the room

206
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.159
and I'm really looking forward to watch
in the Hall of Fame late on Friday

207
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.600
night after SmackDown, Let's go to
Saturday Morning, Doctor Trey, NXT Stand

208
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.759
and the Liver preview predictions this Saturday
from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia,

209
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.919
Pennsylvania. We've got one, two, three, four, five, six

210
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.519
seven matches on the card. We'll
start with the pre show here. You've

211
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.639
got Sewn Spears taking on Joe Gasey. I'm gonna take Shawn Spears in this

212
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:20.200
one, Doctor Troy, real quick? What time does this show start?

213
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.360
Twelve pm Eastern? So I so
technically it's it's morning for me, but

214
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:31.360
it's actually noon for you. Okay. So I'm intrigued by this, and

215
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.399
I know we've done a morning show
like this before, but for like the

216
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:39.840
performers to be I mean, that's
an early morning TV call time and get

217
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.600
out in the ring. It's aren't
going So I'm gonna be interesting how the

218
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.519
performances are for a show this early. But Shawn Spears Joe Gasey, I

219
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.879
kind of want these guys to end
up being together. I don't know about

220
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.159
you, but I just the craziness
of Joe Gayzy and the Shawn Spears character.

221
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.080
They're they're portraying right now. I
kind of want them to end up

222
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:03.519
together at some point, but I'm
taking Sean Spears because I feel like Gays,

223
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.919
He's just in this like lovable crazy
person role where it doesn't matter if

224
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:14.879
he wins or loses because his performances
regardless are memorable. So I'll take Sean

225
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.559
Spears getting the win over Joe Gason. Next match is THEA Hale fallon Henley

226
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.639
Klane Jordan Taken On Jacy Jane,
Keana James and is He Dame? Doctor

227
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.600
Trey? Who do you like this
one? It's it's a WrestleMania weekend,

228
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.480
it's early in the show. I
usually I take baby Faces a lot during

229
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:34.440
Wrestlemany weekends, but I will take
the Heels in this one, so I'll

230
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:40.919
take je I can't for Jesse,
Jace Jane, Jay C Jane. I

231
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.759
kept want to think Josie and the
Pussycats for some reason. Oh take Jase

232
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:47.679
James team to get the winning this
one. I'm gonna take Ja C Jane

233
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.759
and Keana James is he Dame as
well? I think you got to keep

234
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:53.480
feeding the fire to make the baby
Faces very compelling and a win by the

235
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:57.120
Heels is the way that it should
go at Stanton Liver. Next match,

236
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.759
here's for the NXC Tag Team champion
Ship Baron Corbin and Broun Breaker. The

237
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:06.240
wolf Dogs will be defending against Nathan
Fraser and Axiom. That really surprised me

238
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.039
that Nathan Fraser and Axiom won.
That They've been really fun to watch on

239
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.839
NXC television, So I'm pleasantly happy
and surprised. I thought this spot was

240
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:18.359
gonna be taken by Gallas and Anderson. It was not. With that said,

241
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:19.880
I'm gonna go with Baron, Corben
and Brown Breaker to retain. I

242
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.839
think if it was Gallows and Anderson
in this match, I would take the

243
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.880
Good Brothers, but it's not,
so I think Baron and Braun retain,

244
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:33.680
even though Braun is on SmackDown right
now. Yeah, I completely agree with

245
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:36.079
you. I was totally expecting the
Good Brothers to get to win. They

246
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:41.319
didn't. I thought Nathan Fraser Axium
are gonna break up like four months ago.

247
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:47.279
It hasn't happened yet, so and
I just don't see a clear spot

248
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.319
right now for Braun to really.
I know you've had a couple of matches

249
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:53.160
on SmackDown, but once Russell Meini
season kind of kicked off. We really

250
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.880
haven't seen him on SmackDown that much. So I'm gonna take Braun and Baron

251
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.240
getting the win as well and retaining
stand and deliver. Next match, here

252
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:06.480
is Opa Femi defending the NX North
American Championship in a triple threat match against

253
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.000
Die Jack and Josh Briggs. If
there was a time for Opa Femi to

254
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:14.039
lose the championship and not get pinned, you do it in a triple threat

255
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.039
match. Will that be the case
on Saturday morning? Not to try,

256
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.160
I'm going with Oba fam I think
he's the fastest rising guy in the cubby,

257
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.279
and I don't think they're ready to
move him up to challenge whoever the

258
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.839
NXC champion is. So I will
take Oba Fammi a little bit of an

259
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:34.119
homage maybe to Roman Reignses wrestle Maybia
matched where you know he stacked him and

260
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.440
pinned him. I think you might
see Oba Fenny take out both guys and

261
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.400
stack them on top of each other
get the pin. It's amazing to me

262
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.880
how much he has almost like been
a prodigy in a way, a professional

263
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:52.640
wrestled Noma Femmi. I think his
move set is still a little bit on

264
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.079
the green side where it may be, you know, a little bit.

265
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.079
I don't know about the protection ends
of things when it comes to other performers

266
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.359
in the side of the ring,
but he is a phenomenal character in a

267
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.319
wrestler and I've really enjoyed his work
thus far. I have him retaining the

268
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.799
NXT North American Championship as well,
so we both have Opa Femily walking out

269
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:17.599
as NXT North American Champion. Next
match here is for the NXT Women's Championship

270
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:22.359
as Lyra Valkyria takes on Roxanne Perez. I have enjoyed this one. The

271
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.680
Roxanne Perez slow character development is my
way of building a character from a baby

272
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.440
face to a heel. Allah say
Drew McIntyre and how well he has been.

273
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.920
This new edgier, meaner side of
Roxanne Perez has been really good and

274
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.640
a very welcomed edition to NXC television. And I think she leaves with the

275
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:44.759
NXT Women's Championship again on Saturday,
Doctor Trey. I almost feel like this

276
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:48.680
would have been Coora Jade's spot if
she hadn't gotten hurt, because I feel

277
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.039
like the ro sand character is almost. I don't say carbon copy what they

278
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.599
do with Kora j, but it's
very similar. I don't know if they

279
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.000
would have moved Roxanne this way if
Cora hadn't gotten hurt, but I like

280
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:06.640
it. It's weird because she's so
small that you go, there's no way

281
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.799
she can be this little badass.
You know she's sneaky, but she's kind

282
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.839
of a badass too. But I'm
with you. I think this is the

283
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:15.960
right time to put the belt back
on her. We've seen this with multiple

284
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.480
people in NXT, where you get
a run of the baby face, they

285
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.440
move you to heel, and then
you get a run into the heel,

286
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:25.279
So I think this is the kind
of same formula using for Roxane here.

287
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.000
So I see her winning this title
as well. Next match is Elia Dragonoff

288
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.640
defending the NXC Championship against Tony DiAngelo. A couple of weeks ago, I

289
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.079
was not on board with Tony D'Angelo
being this match with a little bit more

290
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.079
edge and development in his character.
As of late, I am fully in.

291
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.599
This has been a very good build
for this match, and it's playing

292
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.799
like second fiddle to a match that
doesn't have a title involved. That's main

293
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.720
eventing it. This is a tough
one to call, Doctor Trey. Is

294
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:55.559
it time for Elia to drop the
title to the Dawn of NXT Tony D'Angelo.

295
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.319
Yeah, this one got harder after
I read an interview was sewn Michaels

296
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.000
this week where he like they asked
him, like, who's one of the

297
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.400
guys that you think is the breakout
guy? The guy he The first person

298
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.279
he said was Tony DiAngelo and how
he kind of got it was kind of

299
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:12.160
a for lack of going to hurt
a crappy gimmick. He just embraced it

300
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:18.000
has ran with it because that made
it harder to pick. But I still

301
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.720
see Ilia pulling this one out,
you know, like once again, he's

302
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.079
still the baby face, even though
Tony deeds to like a liked character,

303
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.920
but he's not a full fledged baby
face. So I'm taking Elia to get

304
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:32.839
the win. I just think it
makes sense that can keep the belt on

305
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:34.640
him because he hasn't had it as
long as a run as I think you

306
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.319
want. So I'll take Elli dragon
Off retaining. Yeah, I like you

307
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.599
have Ilia dragon Off retained the NXC
Championship as well. I feel like he

308
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:47.799
has taken the brunt of this feud
so far and has been kind of thrown

309
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.880
around in a way that we haven't
seen him on NXC television, where you

310
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.839
know, he's kind of being bitched
out by Tony Dan the rest of the

311
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:57.880
family so far, and it's weird
to see him that way, and they're

312
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.680
you know, playing mind games with
him and intimidating him, and for whatever

313
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.839
reason, he's following along, and
I think that's kind of a strange way

314
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.759
to be booking. But it's also
helped elevate Tony DiAngelo as someone who is

315
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:11.960
on the level of Elia dragon Off, which it was about three or four

316
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.160
weeks ago was not the case in
my eyes. So I'm looking forward to

317
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.000
this one, and I again I
like Doctor Tray. I have Elia Dragonoff

318
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.799
retaining the NXT Championship at Stand and
Deliver, and that takes us to the

319
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:25.559
main event match Doctor Tray. This
was announced earlier this week as the main

320
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:30.200
event is the first time during WrestleMania
Weekend that two African American males will be

321
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:36.200
headlining a event during WrestleMania Weekend,
which was pointing out on Tuesday's NXC television.

322
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.400
It's a very historic moment for both
Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes. It's

323
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:44.119
Trick Williams versus Carmelo Hayes. And
this is a tough one to call,

324
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.160
which is NXT in general. NXT
pay per views are very difficult to pick.

325
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:53.480
And I was thinking and like,
I could see Carmelo winning, I

326
00:22:53.480 --> 00:23:00.119
could see Trick winning. I ultimately
see Trick Williams leaving Stand and Deliver as

327
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.400
the winner. There's a lot of
a background of this being one of his

328
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.319
hometowns in front of his family,
and I think they want to end Stand

329
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.559
and Deliver on a good note.
It is Russell Manny Weekend, So I

330
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.240
have Trick Williams getting his revenge against
Carmelo Hayes and defeating him this Saturday.

331
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.759
Yeah, you're right. This one's
been back and forth in my head because,

332
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.440
you know, a lot of times
the old school booking, we'd always

333
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.359
go with the hot hand, whoever
the hot baby face was closed out the

334
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.200
show on a high note. But
the last couple of years we've seen it

335
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.640
go the other way, whether it
was Cody and Roman last year or some

336
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:38.400
other things like that. It's got
me going kind of back and forth with

337
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.960
it. I think to me.
The safe pick is going with Trick Williams,

338
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:45.960
but I think I'll be contrayed.
We got to disagree on something on

339
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:51.440
this show, so I'm going to
take Carmelo getting the wind pissing people off

340
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:56.200
and making them tune into the following
NXT show to see what the fallout is.

341
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:00.000
So I'll take Carmelo with kind of
the surprise picker, because I think

342
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.559
everybody's picking Trick. So there you
go. That is NXC. Sandys Liver

343
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.920
will of course recap it next week
when we recap everything from WRESTMANI a weekend

344
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:12.000
and then it takes us to that
evening Doctor Trey WRESTLMANI forty nine one pre

345
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:17.119
for predictions. It's this Saturday from
Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

346
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.640
We have one, two, three, four, five, six seven matches

347
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:25.240
on night one, officially announced by
Triple H on social media. I believe

348
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:30.240
on Monday, Monday afternoon, Monday
night going into Raw. The first match

349
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.519
I have here, which you kind
of semi predicted you would put in the

350
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.519
direction of Bianca Belair and Naomi Taken
on Kabookie Warriors. I thought we were

351
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.000
going to get Shade Jade card Gill
taken on Bianca bell Air. I think

352
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:44.680
we eventually get there, but this
is now the beginning of that which I

353
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:48.319
love. I think old school Vincikman
booking would have been give him Jade and

354
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.400
Bianca. Now I think with Triple
H's booking, you give them Jade and

355
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.200
Bianca working together now and maybe it
pays off a year from now, maybe

356
00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:00.079
they save it for SummerSlam. Nonetheless, your choice, Doctor Trey, Jade,

357
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:04.480
car Gill, Bianca, Balaia and
Naomi take on Damage Control and see

358
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:08.440
this is also the way of protecting
your tag team champions if you go that

359
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.240
route as well, because even if
they lose, they don't lose the belts

360
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.480
because it's a six person tag match. So with that, I'm taking Naomi,

361
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:21.240
Bianca and Jade because that way Jay
can get a win at WrestleMania and

362
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.839
Damage Control does losing tag belts.
So I think that's the smart pick.

363
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.440
So I'll go. I'll go Naomi, Bianca and Jade getting the win.

364
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.319
Yeah, I think it would be
a travesty in Jade card Gill's like debut

365
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.319
non Royal Rumble match for w you
know her actual like in an announced match

366
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:42.039
for her to take the loss.
I don't think they're putting Jade on the

367
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.319
RUSSELLMANI car to take the l so
I'm gonna take Jade, Bianca and Naomi.

368
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:51.400
And Bianca continues her very quiet winning
streak at wressele Mania. I think

369
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:56.599
she would be five to zero after
this presumed victory. On Saturday. Next

370
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:02.000
match, here is Ray Massirio and
Dragonly taking on Santos Escobar on Dominic Mysterio.

371
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.359
I would have preferred to see Raymisterio
taken on Santos Esco alread give him

372
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:10.400
this opportunity, but I also realized
that would probably leave Dominic Mysterio off the

373
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:14.519
card, who deserves to be there
as well. This is maybe my one

374
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.119
creative bugaboo is like, we've seen
the Dominic Raymisterio stuff at nauseum and we're

375
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:22.839
seeing it again. It doesn't make
sense. Uh. Dragon League getting in

376
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.680
the spot was pretty interesting, especially
when you have Carlito in the ring and

377
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:32.160
on last Friday SmackDown fans were chanting
for Carlito. So I guess maybe Carlito

378
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:34.960
eventually turns on Raymisterio two, who
just loves to get continued to be screwed.

379
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:38.160
Over by people he aligns with.
Nonetheless, I'm gonna take Ray,

380
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.559
Masterio and Dragon Led to win this
one doctor try. I'm trying to think

381
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:47.359
of who hasn't turned on Ray at
some point in all these tag TEXACM Remember

382
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:52.519
Batista turned on him at work,
like Eddie Guerrero. Eddie's turned like Chavo

383
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.119
turned on everybody's turned on him.
He's He's like the big show with turns

384
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.680
when it comes to people against him. Maybe Ray isn't aole. Maybe he

385
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.200
is just a cheap skate and doesn't
want to pay for meals when they go

386
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.519
out together, like you know,
like but poor guy, Like he's been

387
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:10.640
wrestling for thirty some odd years,
he's made a good bank. He keeps

388
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:12.480
taking these young people on his wing
and makes those guys pay for his meals.

389
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:18.720
You know, it's crazy. I
am kind of surprised at the way

390
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:19.519
this came together. But then you
look at also, you look at the

391
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:26.160
whole this weird Dominic, Santos Andrade
potential alliance, Like it's it's a weird

392
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:32.920
thing to me, so but I'm
here for I like it. So I'm

393
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:37.359
going to take Dominic getting Dominic and
Santos getting the win because Ray beat Dominic

394
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.480
last year Wrestlebania, so this way, dominicets to beat his dad at WrestleMania.

395
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:42.359
So I'll take those two guys getting
the win, all right, So

396
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.920
you have Santos and Dominic in victory
here. Yeah. Wow, that's a

397
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:51.079
little bit of a surprise. Next
match, keeping with family, Doctor Trey,

398
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:56.160
it's Jimmy Usso versus Jay Usso.
It's the third brother versus brother match

399
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.319
in the history of WrestleMania. Every
fifteen years since WRESTLEMANI ten, we have

400
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.599
had a brother versus brother match,
So the streak continues, Doctor Trey,

401
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.000
Who do you like in this one? Oh? If only Solo was the

402
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:10.480
guest referee for this one, you
know, then you could have had a

403
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.839
hall for the brothers right there together. This is hard because they're twins.

404
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:17.359
It's hard to figure out which twin
you want to pick the win. Because

405
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:19.440
I can see it going either way. I think you just take the hot

406
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:22.200
hand. I think you go with
Jay getting to win, just over Jimmie

407
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.799
because I think he's supposed to be
the breakout star of the tag team team.

408
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.880
So I'll Jimmy's the good sidekick.
Jay could be a star, So

409
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.440
I'll take Jay getting to win.
Yeah, I'm gonna take Jay Uso as

410
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.319
well given his character, And I
think the storyline is Jimmy losing to j

411
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.359
at WrestleMania. Post Russemania, maybe
we see a reunion of the Usos pretty

412
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:47.000
soon next match. I am really
looking forward to this one, and Doctor

413
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:49.960
Tray semi may have predicted how this
can turn out that and just more on

414
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:55.000
that. In just a second,
You've got Damien Priest and Finn Ballard defending

415
00:28:55.319 --> 00:29:00.640
the undisputed w Tag Team Championship in
a six pack ladder match against the Awesome

416
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:06.799
Truth, the New Day, New
Catch Republic, and a Town down Under.

417
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.680
Now, it has been stressed on
Monday's Raw by Michael Cole, the

418
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.839
match will end when both titles have
been retrieved. So if one team grabs

419
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:21.720
the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, the
match isn't over. If someone grabs the

420
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:25.640
Raw Tag Team Championships, that's when
the match is over. So Doctor Tray

421
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:33.400
very very very well predicted that he
saw that this title would be split at

422
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.480
WrestleMania, and it certainly appears Doctor
Tray by the looks and sounds of it,

423
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:42.160
that that may be the direction.
With that said, I'm going to

424
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:48.559
take the Awesome Truth winning the Raw
Tag Team titles and a town down Under

425
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.960
winning the SmackDown Tag Team titles.
This could all be for not and we

426
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.920
just walk away with Damian Priest and
Finn mall Or winning both championships. But

427
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.880
very interesting what you had predicted may
actually come to fruition here on Saturday after

428
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:07.720
Saturday evening. See every now and
then, my my fantasy booking pays off.

429
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.720
Like every now that I hit,
I think I see something and I'm

430
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:15.640
like, oh, this this very
male. This very well may turn out

431
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.440
the way I think it goes because
it makes sense. There's there's so many

432
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:21.240
tag teams now in WWE. I
mean, hell, we had a tournament

433
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:25.720
for teams to get into this match. It makes sense to now split the

434
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:30.519
belts because you have depth on both
sides of the tag rosters. So I'm

435
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.240
with you. I'm taking miss in
Truth to win the Raw Belts, the

436
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:38.559
Raw Tag Team titles, the SmackDown
when I'm interested because I there there's reports

437
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:41.440
on there that they were looking to
maybe replace Waller in theory at some point

438
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.559
in this match. So but I'm
gonna take a Town down Under as well,

439
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:51.880
because I think there's more money in
those guys' long term once they split

440
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:56.440
apart if that's the route they go. So I'm agreeing with your picks on

441
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.119
this one as well. Next match
here is the every year we call this

442
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.839
would be my wrestling fans match,
Doctor Trey. There's always one on the

443
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.960
card. Gun Through defends the inn
account a little championship against Sammy Zay.

444
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.000
Who do you like in this one? I think the only match I would

445
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:15.240
want to see on paper more than
this and this is people think I'm crazy

446
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:21.640
for maybe Gunther and Dolph Zigler because
Dolph maybe the best seller we've seen it

447
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:26.680
in wrestling in the last twenty years, and Sammy's close, you know,

448
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:29.680
so like I'm looking forward because I
think we're gonna get that. You know,

449
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.839
Sammy just gets the crap beat out
of him and it just looks like

450
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:38.559
all is lost. And this one's
hard for the actual winners, hard for

451
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:44.799
me to pick. So I think
I'm gonna take Gunther retaining just because Sammy

452
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:48.880
won the tag belts last year.
You can't keep giving Sammy belts at WrestleMania.

453
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.920
Otherwise people think they're playing favorites,
so I'll take Gunther retaining in this

454
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.960
one. Yeah, I'm gonna take
gun Through retaining as well. I did

455
00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:59.440
go back and forth in this one
thought it could be Sammy's ay, but

456
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:04.359
I think this story is him taking
the l and continue working towards being the

457
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:08.480
one to dethrone Gunther on the second
go around and to win the Intercuntald Championship.

458
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:12.279
I do see Gunther dropping the title
this year, and I think he

459
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:15.599
drops it clean and then goes for
the World Championship at some point. But

460
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:20.079
I just I can't see Sammy winning
it at wrestling. I hope I'm wrong,

461
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:24.599
but I have Gunther retaining the Intercontinental
Championship on Saturday as well. Next

462
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:30.519
match is Rea Ripley defending the WA
Women's World Championship against Becky Lynch. This

463
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.400
is has gone. There's been a
nice upward trend on this feud in this

464
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:39.839
build as of late, and it's
been better than it was three weeks ago,

465
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:45.519
thankfully. And this is a dream
match. This is the it girl

466
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:50.440
from five years ago wrest May thirty
five and Becky Lynch in the mainstay the

467
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:54.640
barometer in the women's division taking on
the it girl and maybe the it wrestler

468
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:59.319
in all the professional wrestling right now. In my opinion, Rhea Ripley and

469
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:01.759
I wrestle Mania match. This is
an exciting one. We've only seen it

470
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:07.640
played out once on NXC television back
in December twenty nineteen. This is the

471
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:09.839
grandiose stage that is WrestleMania, and
I think these two women are going to

472
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:13.880
bring in. This is another match
I'm really looking forward to. This is

473
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:19.000
like another wrestling fans dream match.
I'm going to take Ria Ripley to retain

474
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:22.200
the WA Women's World Championship, Doctor
Trey. This one is another one I've

475
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.960
gone back and forth on because you
know, once again, baby faces usually

476
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:31.920
come out on top of WrestleMania.
But Ria's had the best year of maybe

477
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:37.079
any woman's wrestler in the last thirty
years. I mean, I don't know

478
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:42.680
who can stack up a one year
period like Ria can't. Becky Becky,

479
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.559
Yeah, but you even in that
Becky run as the man. I don't

480
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:51.160
think it was the entire year Bianca
was closed. I mean, but really

481
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.119
good point, very good point.
Aria's gone to send it to another level.

482
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:59.559
I mean that match last year against
Charlotte was amazing. And she's gone

483
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:04.079
the entire year and basically just wiped
everybody. So I think I'm going to

484
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.400
take Ria just almost as a reward
for how far she's how far if the

485
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:10.679
latter she's come in the last year, because I still think she's the hot

486
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:15.599
hand in the women's division. So
I'll take Ria getting to win over Becky

487
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.719
at WrestleMania. And then finally the
main event of Night one for WrestleMania for

488
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.440
do you have Roman Reigns and the
Rock taken on Cody Rhodes and Seth Freaking

489
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:27.800
Ronalds and the Tay Team match.
If Rhodes and Rollins win, then all

490
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.599
members the Bloodline will be barred from
ringside during Roads's match with Roman Reigns on

491
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:36.000
Night two. If Rains and Rock
win, then the championship match on Night

492
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:39.599
two will be held under Bloodline rules. Doctor Trey, who do you like

493
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:44.559
in this one? Does that include
Paul Hayman? Yeah, I would say

494
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:46.840
so, Yeah, Okay, I'll
be curious to see if Paul's actually banned

495
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:51.000
from ringside. I believe, I
believe they've addressed that in their promos.

496
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:54.199
Yeah, I think you would be. Okay, that being said, it's

497
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:59.039
the old booker is you know,
whoever gets who takes the whipping on,

498
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.039
you know, on one show leading
into WrestleMania, the other team gets the

499
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:05.199
advantage of at the big show.
I'm gonna lean on that. I'm gonna

500
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:08.199
take Steth and Cody getting the win
over Rock and Roman on Night one.

501
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:13.679
Wow, that's interesting. I've definitely
gone back and forth on this one.

502
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:19.239
I'm gonna pick Roman reigns in the
Rock. And the reason why I'm doing

503
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.480
that is, I think if I
look back to the foreshadowing of the Rock

504
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:28.119
beating the crap out of Cody Rhodes
outside and them having the trailer and everybody's

505
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:32.159
pointing towards John Cena and Steve Austin
making an appearance somehow during this Cody road

506
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:38.000
stuff at WrestleMania, I think that
only happens under a bloodline rules match,

507
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:43.519
where you know, all interference is
out the window at that point. Anybody

508
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:46.039
can interfere. It's not just the
bloodline is the only one. It's it's

509
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:50.639
no disqualification basically, and I think
that they don't want that. The only

510
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:54.679
quote bloodline rules match just has taken
place on Raw this past Monday. So

511
00:35:54.920 --> 00:36:00.639
I'm gonna take Roman rains in the
Rock to win this match, and it's

512
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:02.639
it's gonna be a bloodline rules match
for me. On night too, it's

513
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:07.719
gonna be bloodline being barred for the
Ring and Night two for Doctor Tree.

514
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.320
When it comes to coding Rhodes and
Roman Rats, you got me. I

515
00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:17.159
think I almost wish my pick whoa
the first time in twelve years, You've

516
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:22.840
got me to switch my pick on
air. Now I've done it WHOA.

517
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:28.480
But I like that because I forgot
about the Sena Austin stuff. And if

518
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.000
it's bloodline, I mean, it's
the partest part about this for Jeff is

519
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:36.280
you got three guys who are wrestling
in two nights, which means one of

520
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:40.760
those people could potentially lose both their
matches at WrestleMania. That's that's the hard

521
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:45.519
part for me to fathom. So
I will agree with you. I will

522
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:49.480
take the Rock and Roman Reigns getting
to win at wrestled on Night one because

523
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.519
I forgot about the Sena Austin stuff. I do like that concept because there

524
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.119
might be a little bit of a
triple ation sting when alson you got d

525
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:59.599
X and the nWo involved all at
one time. And even though the match

526
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:04.599
was it was bad, the nostalgia
part made people happy. So I will

527
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.119
if you have best the methodology,
I will take the Rock and Roman Rains

528
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:10.079
winning on Night one. So official, you are changing your pick to Rowan

529
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:14.400
Rains in the Rock. Yes,
that was official. Wow, there you

530
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:16.559
go, folks. I just sold
doctor Tran changing his pitch. Now.

531
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:20.400
If that now I'm wrong, we're
gonna hear about it on next week's shows.

532
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.519
I shouldn't have listened to Jeff.
I should have stuck with my guns

533
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:25.679
and all of a sudden, John
CNN Steve Asso come out in Night one.

534
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:29.199
Yeah, I did that earlier this
year. You got me, you

535
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.960
got me convinced off air. I
think it was the rumble. I changed

536
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:36.039
my pick because of you, and
I was like, damn it, I

537
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.039
should have kept my pick. So
I had the Rock for that one.

538
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:40.119
You thought the Rock was gonna win. No, I think it was the

539
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:44.880
women's side. I think I switched
my pick on the women's winner. I

540
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:47.400
can't remember which was, but it
was somebody else, Like there was something

541
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:51.280
else, I would he because it
was the show. Before he predict the

542
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:52.519
show, you made a lot of
valid points. I was like Damn,

543
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:57.159
that's that makes sense. Let's do
that. So okay, that's ay.

544
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.159
If I could sell you, I
could sell you. Restum in forty nine

545
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:05.280
to two pre eving predictions this Sunday
from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

546
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:08.599
Once again, Doctor Tray successfully,
you know, predicted that this match

547
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:10.840
would be on the card, and
I'm happy. I'm very happy for all

548
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:15.079
six guys to be on the card. It's the Final Testament taking on the

549
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:20.440
Pride in a Philadelphia street fight.
They have not referred to the Pride on

550
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:23.039
WE television as the Pride, but
Triple H tweeted it out as the Pride,

551
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:28.039
So I'm going to go with them
being that name. And at tip

552
00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.320
to Doctor Tray for correctly predicting this
being on the wrest many card. I'm

553
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.639
gonna take the Pride to get the
victory in the Philadelphia street fight. Yeah

554
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.039
see, I've gone back and forth
because it's a street fight means anything goes

555
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:39.920
and that's how you usually have the
Heels win a match like this. I

556
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:45.880
don't know if Bobby Lashley and the
Profits need this win as bad as Cross

557
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:50.360
and AOP need. I think I'm
gonna take the final testament getting the win

558
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:52.840
here just because I think they need
to win more than lash Lee in the

559
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:59.079
profits. Next match is what I
would call another wrestling fans favorite match here

560
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:02.920
is La Night takes on AJ Styles. This has been a very subtly under

561
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:07.599
the radar good feud and build towards
the wrestleminting fort you. It's been going

562
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:13.320
on since basically AJ Styles return to
w earlier this year. It's a tough

563
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:16.119
one to call. AJ Styles has
taken a lot of L's lately, and

564
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:19.800
I think it would make sense to
give the victory to l A Knight,

565
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:23.199
being that he's like the uber popular
star. I'm gonna go with AJ Styles.

566
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:25.360
He needs a victory here, Doctor
Trey. I hate to see AJ

567
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:29.519
styles shoulders always on the mat for
some reason, So I'm gonna take AJ.

568
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.599
Yeah. I've gone back and forth
because I think both guys need to

569
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:38.880
win. La Knight three months ago
is the hottest act in WWE, and

570
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:43.119
then you know he had the match
with him and Sena tagging up, but

571
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:46.199
then he lost to Roman Reigns and
he's kind of fallen back a little bit.

572
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:51.039
But then you're right, AJ is
not tors like a great performer,

573
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:52.480
but he takes a lot of l's
because he could make airbells look good.

574
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:58.199
So, but if you're picking Cody
to win at the end of the night,

575
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:00.719
he needs a challenger coming out of
wrestle Media, and I think it

576
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:05.639
makes sense for AJB that guy.
So I'm gonna take aj getting the win

577
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:08.440
over La Styles as well. La
Styles, La Styles, Sorry, La

578
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:10.920
Knights. That was a I believe
that was a shoe brand back in the

579
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.760
nineties. La Styles. That was
a late night Cinemax show back in the

580
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:17.679
nineties. But I know, hey, now that's a different podcast, different

581
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:22.079
podcasts. Uh. This this next
match here is for the United States Championship

582
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.840
is Logan Paul defense against Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Doctor Trey. Who

583
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:29.880
do you like in this one?
You know, if it was a singles

584
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:32.760
match, I'd probably pick anybody but
Logan Paul. But with being a triple

585
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.599
threat, I could see Logan sneaking
away the victory. So I think I'm

586
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:44.239
gonna take Logan Paul retaining the US
title here because I think the trepidacious Kevin

587
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:47.360
Owens Randy Orton alliance, you know, leads them to kind of messing up

588
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:52.559
in here and Paul can steal a
win, so I'll take Logan Paul retaining.

589
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:57.559
I'm gonna take Logan Paul as well
to retain. Triple threat matches are

590
00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:00.920
notoriously no disqualification. You always forget
about it until the match actually takes place.

591
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:05.719
I think this is where Jake Paul
makes his WE debut and helps his

592
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:09.760
brother defeat Randy Orton Kevin Owens in
this match, so I'm going to take

593
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:15.519
Logan Paul to retain. Jake Paul
should be getting ready for Mike Tyson fifty

594
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:17.519
eight year old Mike Tyson or however
old he is. He gets okay my

595
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:22.760
ass in a boxing match, But
I'm going to take Logan Paul to retain

596
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:27.280
the w United States Championship. So
either Jake Paul interference and help to get

597
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.639
the victory, or something crazy like
Randy Orton gives an RKO to Ko or

598
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:35.320
I don't think KO gives a stunner
to Randy Orton to get on there,

599
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:38.719
but RKO to Kevin Owens. Somebody
knocks out Randy Orton pulls him out of

600
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:42.679
the ring, and Logan Paul does
the slimy heel thing and gets the pin.

601
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:44.800
So if this is what I want, I agree with you. I

602
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:46.920
think Logan Paul loses the title.
Quick question, Does that mean we get

603
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:52.320
Mike Tyson and Kevin Owens against the
Paul brothers at WrestleMania Backlash? Maybe?

604
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.519
Maybe I don't think they're calling it
WrestleMania Backlash anymore. But and I don't

605
00:41:55.559 --> 00:42:00.920
know if if Mike Tyson can do
international travel with his like background in France,

606
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:04.159
I don't think he could go there, but yeah, maybe maybe he's

607
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:07.639
there by AI. When is a
Tyson Paul fight? Like, I think

608
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:10.760
it's in the summer or something.
Do we get Mike Tyson in WWE if

609
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:15.760
Jake Paul shows up to help Logan? Did we get Mike Tyson in WWE

610
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:19.840
before their fight? Maybe? I
think there's a likely chance he's in w

611
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:22.800
now, then he would be in
AW if he wants to talk about that

612
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:29.119
fight, given the Paul's relationship.
Next match is EO Sky defending the w

613
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:34.119
Women's Championship against Bailey. This match, man, I don't know. This

614
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:37.360
feud has been kind of okay,
It's at its peaks and valleys. I

615
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:42.880
wish they did a better job of
making Bailey look like a sympathetic Babyface heading

616
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:45.079
into this one because she was such
a damn good heel the last four years.

617
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:50.679
Very much hate heable and slimy,
and the fans love to hate her

618
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:54.000
in a good kind of way.
And I think doing the Babyface run here

619
00:42:54.119 --> 00:43:00.960
hasn't been all that great, unless
maybe the Hugger returns on Sunday night.

620
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:05.199
A lot of stuff with Paramore.
She wanted Paramore to play her down to

621
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:07.400
the ring. They gave the ok
to do that. I don't know if

622
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:12.400
that's the case and if WWE's come
to agree with Paramore to play around on

623
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:15.840
Sunday, but that would be cool. I think Bailey needs some good babyface

624
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:17.559
love in this one, and maybe
the Hugger Bailey does it. I'm going

625
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:21.519
to take Bailey to win the w
W Women's Championship, but Russell Mania out

626
00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:22.719
to try. Yeah. I was
thinking about earlier. I was like,

627
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:28.039
I don't know if I could have
Becky and Bailey lose. I don't think

628
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:31.280
I have both of them lose.
And I was like, man, what

629
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:37.000
if we get Paramore during a cover
of the old school Bailey theme song and

630
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:38.719
the wacky waving and flavor. I
still say I don't know, if you

631
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:42.119
remember this, I said this,
like when she won the Rumble that you

632
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:45.280
get the wacky waving and flavel two
men up with like duct tape on them

633
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:51.360
around their wounds, signifying the return
for which he basically chopped them down years

634
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:55.039
ago. But I'm taking Bailey as
well. I just think it's as as

635
00:43:55.079 --> 00:44:00.360
good as EO's been. I still
think having Bailey be the champ is just

636
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:05.559
short term kind of finishes her story, so to speak. So there you

637
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:08.960
go, both of us taken Bailey
to win the Wins Championship for WrestleMania,

638
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:14.599
and now that takes us to the
ww World Heavyweight Championship match Doctor Treya Seth

639
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:19.079
Freaking Rollins Defense against Drew McIntyre.
Who do you like in this one?

640
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:22.719
So I've gone back and forth on
this one as well, because you know,

641
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.159
like I said earlier, I don't
know if I want to pick somebody

642
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:31.599
to lose both nights at WrestleMania between
the three main event guys who are working

643
00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:36.800
double duty. But as I change
my pick on one, I think I'm

644
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:40.960
gonna stick to my original thought on
this match, which is Drew McIntyre wins

645
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.719
and then we get a Damien Prese
cash in on Drew McIntyre. So I'm

646
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:49.760
gonna say Drew getting the win and
then Damien cashing in on them. So

647
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:54.440
we are on the same page here. And it was basically confirmed to me

648
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:59.039
that there's going to be some sort
of title change on Sunday by News that

649
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:05.519
they announced on Monday. Clash at
the Castle is going to take place in

650
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:10.280
Glasgow, Scotland. The Scottish Warrior
is going to go home in June.

651
00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:15.159
And I don't think he's going to
enter that show as a champion. I

652
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:21.360
don't think he enters that show as
a heel, and I think he starts

653
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:28.079
working towards a little bit of that
tweener babyface, and I think he wins

654
00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:31.320
the championship at that show. We
are due for a cash in from Damien

655
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:36.159
Priests. It's only a year,
right, and he won it back in

656
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:42.440
July. I really wanted to do
what you said and pic Drew McIntyre to

657
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:46.480
win in the Damien cash in.
I think Damian interferes in this match Allah

658
00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:52.840
WRESTLEMANI thirty one, makes it a
triple threat and wins the championship that way.

659
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:57.280
I don't think Drew ever gets the
title at all, and they don't

660
00:45:57.280 --> 00:46:01.480
do like a really shady, you
know, transitional championship there. So I'm

661
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:06.760
just gonna go Damian Priest to cash
in and win this one. Enter it

662
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:10.159
Wrestleman thirty one style. The Heights
of the Century happens to Seth freaking Rollins

663
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:15.320
nine years later. But it's funny
that we're on the both the same wavelength,

664
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:17.840
heor Doctor Trey, that we both
believe Damian Priest leaves WRESTLEMANI as world

665
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:24.800
champion. Yeah. My thought was
you kind of get Drew his WrestleMania Championship

666
00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:30.400
win in front of a crowd and
then snatched away by Damien Priest, and

667
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:32.320
that's that's that was kind of my
logic. The triple threat idea makes sense

668
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:37.400
too, to have somebody do the
Heights in the Century to Seth. But

669
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:38.880
I kind of, you know,
both both ideas make it sense. I

670
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:42.639
still think at the end of the
day, Bolomens still have Damian Priest walking

671
00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.719
at WrestleMania as the world champion.
Yes, there you go, both of

672
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:49.000
us have Damian Priest, who's not
in the match, leaving WrestleMania as the

673
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:52.159
world They've away champion. Which then
leads to the whole relationship with the Judgment

674
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:58.679
Day and Damian Priest excuse me a
Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre post WrestleMania.

675
00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:00.280
I think maybe Seth and Becky going
to take a little bit of time off

676
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:06.920
post WrestleMania and go lick their wounds
and come back maybe in a month or

677
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:10.199
so. But we both have Damian
pre sleeving WrestleMania as the world have Away

678
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:15.800
Champion. And then that takes us
to the match, the main event match

679
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:21.360
of WrestleMania forty weekend, Night two, the entire weekend, the match everybody

680
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:22.840
is looking forward to, Doctor Trey. You and I both have it now

681
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:27.599
in a bloodline rules match because we
both are picking Roman Reigns on the Rock

682
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:31.559
to win. On Night one,
Roman Reigns defends the undisputed w W Universal

683
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:37.400
Championship against Cody Rhodes for the second
time at WrestleMania. This is last year's

684
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:43.280
WrestleMania main event, taking place a
year later. I have gone back and

685
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:45.840
forth. There have been times where
I thought Cody Rhoads was going to win,

686
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:50.039
no doubt about it. There have
been times as of this week that

687
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.639
I thought Roman Reigns was going to
win, and I was like, Okay,

688
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:57.719
maybe somebody interferes in this, like
Solosokoa did it Clash the Castle where

689
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:04.320
maybe Talmatunga debuts and costs Cody Roads
the match. The foreshadow he's been put

690
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:07.880
in there that Sena and Steve Austin
are going to be involved somehow, I

691
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:12.199
would imagine seeing it comes out to
take out Solo Soakoa, Steve Austin comes

692
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:15.280
out to take out The Rock,
and that place is going to lose their

693
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:21.840
fucking minds when The Rock and Steve
Austin are battling out at WrestleMania forty on

694
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:24.119
Sunday night. I mean, that
is just a moment ready to take over

695
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:29.280
social media and the world and make
all the nostalgia in the fields that are

696
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:31.559
just giving me goosebumps as I talk
about that. Leaving it as a one

697
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:36.719
on one match, maybe Tomatunga interferes, who's reportedly signed with w W and

698
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:40.519
takes out Cody that way. At
the end of the day, I don't

699
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:47.079
see a way that WWE can end
another WrestleMania Doctor Trey with Cody Rhoades not

700
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:52.760
finishing his story and not being crowned
the w Universal Champion. I said it

701
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:59.000
on last week's show, WrestleMania one
right, all the big ones with zero's

702
00:48:59.039 --> 00:49:01.079
at the end. I've had big
moments. Restum Any one was the birth.

703
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:06.280
Rest Many ten was Brett celebrating.
Resumany twenty was Eddiean's Chris Benwass celebrating.

704
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:10.440
Wrest Many thirty was Daniel Bryan celebrating
in the super Dome. You're not

705
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:15.519
going to end one of the wrestlemanis
that end in zero? With Roman Reigns

706
00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:20.559
holding both holding the championship up in
the air and again and fans losing their

707
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:22.719
shit like, how the hell do
they do this to us two years in

708
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:25.840
a row? You know, boycott
WWEE. Social media is a blaze.

709
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:30.159
People are not going to watch wrestling
ever again. I can't wait to see

710
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:34.400
how they react it ras after WrestleMania, we could all pump the brakes because

711
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:38.639
I think the show closes, WRESTLEMANI
forty closes and Cody Rhodes is given the

712
00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:43.920
torch to be the next guy.
I've got Cody Rhodes leaving WRESTMANI forty Doctor

713
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:47.639
Trey as the undisputed w Universal champion. I'm just let me ask you at

714
00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:51.320
the end of the show when they
when Cody's announced the where do you see

715
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:55.440
Sena in Austin both holding holding Cody's
hands out for a moment as like the

716
00:49:55.519 --> 00:50:00.159
lineage torch passing between the generations.
That would be a nice moment. But

717
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:05.639
I think both those guys don't want
to take away his moment. I'm serious.

718
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:07.360
I thought I think they would be, like, I get it,

719
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:08.920
but I don't think I would want
to do that. I I understand your

720
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:13.639
perspective as well. The only thing
that would help that even more is if

721
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:16.320
somehow Hogan got involved. If you
go from Hogan to Austin to seen It

722
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:21.760
or to Cody, you know,
I mean, Hogan's got nothing going on

723
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:24.760
this weekend. So no, I
love that book. I can't argue with

724
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:30.280
that. Like as as a law
lifelong wrestling fan and going back two years

725
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:35.800
to how much you and I loved
seeing Austin back in the ring fighting Kevin

726
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:39.079
Owens like it's our hero from the
nineties, but you know, fighting the

727
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:45.880
SRTU hero for you know that time
twelve years like that, the nostalgia just

728
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:50.400
made it great. And if you
get that kind of match put together and

729
00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:53.960
that's kind of gets involved. I
can't argue with that. I'm taking Cody

730
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:59.719
to win. I love the Scena
interaction with Solo Socoa, I love Austin

731
00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:02.719
in the going at it. I
love all that stuff. So even if

732
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:07.679
we're dead wrong, in my head, that's what's going to happen. So

733
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:10.400
I'm taking Cody to win the title
as well. So they go. Both

734
00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:15.079
