four. This is your wit Wrestleming
forty weekend recap and review edition of as

4
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:36.439
R Team You. I am one
after the show, I am Jack Peck

5
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:41.679
joined every single week my past literally
got try Franklin, Doctor Trey. We

6
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.840
survived wrestling forty weekend. My friend, you say that, but there's still

7
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.039
time I got. It's barely.
I feel like I have a hangover,

8
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.079
Like literally, like when you're introducing
this show, I was like, oh,

9
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.600
dear gut, how loud does he
say that? So it does feel

10
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.960
a little bit like back in my
early twenties, coming in off an all

11
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.680
weekend bender, trying to go to
work on Monday. But hey, it

12
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.680
was worth it. The ride was
enjoyable, and yeah, I got the

13
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.799
t shirt you sent me. It
says I survived wrestlmingia a forty weekend.

14
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.920
Here's the thing, pomp and circumstance. It's like, it's a very enjoyable

15
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.959
weekend. But I legitimately so you
and I are recording this Wednesday night as

16
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.560
aw Dynamite is airing. I legitimately
got caught up on professional wrestling earlier this

17
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:34.159
evening on Wednesday. It is not
and you are not caught up yet,

18
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.840
right, No, I actually had
just started Monday Night Raw made it throughout

19
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.879
the first two segments. It's tough. I mean, I did the math.

20
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.879
It's I mean, what are we
looking at here? So two hours

21
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:51.840
of SmackDown, three hours of Hall
of Fame, four hours of Standing the

22
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:57.159
Liver. So we're at nine hours
now, like six hours of WrestleMania,

23
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.079
So what are we at? Fifteen
at that point, then another six the

24
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:06.040
next day. That's twenty one if
you're counting. I mean I watched pre

25
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.840
shows for every one of these shows
Monday Night Raw three hours. That's twenty

26
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.759
four hours smacked or annex after Standing
Deliver, that's twenty six hours. And

27
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.599
that's not even counting the one hour
of Rampage twenty seven, two hours of

28
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.360
Collision twenty nine that I also got
under my belt. And oh, by

29
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.159
the way, I watched one hour
of the Slammy Awards on Peacock. That's

30
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.159
thirty hours a professional wrestling I have
watched since we last sat down and recorded

31
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.439
last week's edition of SRTU. Obviously, some of that stuff is not part

32
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.879
of Wrestling a Weekend A decent about
ninety percent of it is. By the

33
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.639
way, if you want to see
awkwardness, go watch the Slamming Awards on

34
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.199
Peacock. I highly recommend it.
Very awkward. I mean, technology was

35
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.280
failing them and it was very very
noticeable. Yeah, it's a lot of

36
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.560
wrestling, Doctor Trey. I love
wrestling, but shit, man, it's

37
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.280
it's a lot. It's hard to
be a wrestling fan this weekend. Yeah,

38
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:06.319
it's hard, but it's hard physically. It's physically and and and maybe

39
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:12.400
emotionally taxing. Uh. But this
is this is like it's like Christmas on

40
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.520
steroids for wrestling fans. It's like
you get all the addresses. It's literally

41
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:23.199
like the the adrenaline rush and then
once the adrenaline that crash that comes afterwards.

42
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.960
It's like you know, you twist
your ankle in a in a rec

43
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.599
league softball game, but you finish
the game, but the next day you

44
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.680
can barely walk and you're like,
how about hell, why is this hurting

45
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.759
so bad? Like Lugimi, I
got a cramp. I have not slept

46
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.120
that well, this weekend, I've
got about twelve hours of sleep since Saturday

47
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:44.479
nights and I got a cramp in
my cap in the middle of the night.

48
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.400
This morning. I woke up could
barely move and that's like my brain

49
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.639
feels like that now, Like I
consumed so much wrestling, and in the

50
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.400
process of consuming it, it was
great, but now my brain is just

51
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.759
like, nope, we're done,
tap out, throwing the towel. Let's

52
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.199
just shut it down. So I've
already made I already told the wife and

53
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.319
the kids. I'm like, as
soon as the podcast is over, i

54
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.240
am going to bed. Yeah,
I don't blame you. It's tough,

55
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.600
you know, and I want to
kind of get this out of the way

56
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:20.759
now. I felt like with this
past WrestleMania weekend, and I enjoyed all

57
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.199
the shows, we'll get into it
a little bit knee deeper than we are

58
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:30.000
right now. I just have to
say that I thought how exhausting everything was

59
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.120
in the sense of like staying awake
and watching it. I felt like it

60
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.680
took away a little bit as from
me being a viewer all weekend long and

61
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:43.680
like having those emotional moments that you
would have during a wrestling match or that

62
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.199
connection that you have would have to
a wrestling match, and it's I don't

63
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.360
know. I felt like it kind
of took away from it a little bit.

64
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:56.160
Did you did you watch everything live? Or are you like what?

65
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.839
Like what did you watch live?
And what are you binging? So?

66
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:03.839
I watched SmackDown, Hall of Fame
Live, Stand and Deliver live Night one

67
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:10.000
live. I was a little bit
behind on Night one because I actually had

68
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.199
to leave at some point in the
middle of it for about forty minutes.

69
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.160
Night two, I watched live Slammys. I watched on Replay, Binge watch

70
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:24.279
Raw. I watched on Binge watch
NXC, Binge Watch Rampage Collision, Binge

71
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:30.319
Wash, Slammys, Binge watch so
like everything from about Friday to Sunday.

72
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.879
I watched live during the weekend itself. Yes, I wonder, like for

73
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.199
how we consume it if that's kind
of it, like what it is.

74
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:43.199
I mean, I don't know who
watched everything live and then, but I

75
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.639
mean, how do you go from
watching SmackDown and the Slammies live? I

76
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:51.279
mean asking the Hall of Fame live
because that didn't end until after midnight.

77
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.240
It was uh, I think it
was close to one am. Yeah,

78
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.279
it was because I think the Rock
said something. Yeah, because then one

79
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.079
out Yeah, to turn around and
jump up in the morning to watch Stand

80
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:08.639
and Deliver, to then shut it
back down for you know, shut your

81
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.959
emotions back down for five hours,
six hours they camped yourself back up for

82
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.560
WrestleMania Night one. I mean that's
that's taxing in itself. I mean that's

83
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.040
a lot. I mean it's either
that's why we kind of like we did

84
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.800
three hour like we we we.
I miss Night one because I had Rocket

85
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:31.120
City, So I watched Night one
Sunday night, came back. Couldn't watch

86
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.920
Night two Monday night because the wife
was at work and she told me I

87
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.680
wasn't allowed to watch it until she
got home. So we binge watched.

88
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:45.519
I watched Standing Deliver and uh something
else I watched I think might have been

89
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.720
No. I watched I watched The
Hall of Fame and uh, Stand and

90
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.439
Deliver Monday while I was at work, and then Tuesday last night, we

91
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:58.040
finished up WrestleMania and then we were
watching Raw. So it's I think it

92
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.720
kind of depends on how you consume
it. Because Jesse, if we try

93
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.920
to do everything live, you have
to kind of amp yourself up, ramp

94
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.839
yourself back down, back and forth
the entire time, since your emotions are

95
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.360
constantly on this roller coaster, and
then your sleep schedules on a roller coaster

96
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.920
as well. So it's a lot
of consumption. And I think now we're

97
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.879
just like going forward if this is
kind of how we're going to be in

98
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:23.879
the quarter unquote triple h era,
you kind of have to pace yourself and

99
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.639
be smart on how you can see
it, otherwise you get this like WrestleMania

100
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.240
hangover. Well lost in all this
outside of this of our personal work lives,

101
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.639
Doctor Trey too. From a viewing
standpoint, I am a huge Yukon

102
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:42.680
men's basketball fan, and I'm sorry. They just had their Final four matchup

103
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.720
and they just won the national championship
on Monday night, so I watched those

104
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:50.600
games as well. Yeah, we
were watching the the Alabama Yukon game with

105
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.600
Saturday night during WrestleMania while we were
at Rocket City. Yeah. Sorry,

106
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.399
sorry about that, Doctor Troy.
Oh no, no, like I don't

107
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.920
have. I'm not a diehard college
basketball fan by any means. I used

108
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.800
to be when I was younger.
I think I know one player on Alabama's

109
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.879
keep Okay, that's only because he's
a local kid from like where I used

110
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.839
to live when I first bog to
Alabama. Yeah, done of that.

111
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.959
That's it. Yeah. The thing
about WrestleMania Weekend too, is it's not

112
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.560
this isn't going to stop. I
mean, this is going to continue.

113
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.800
I mean it's it's I mean they
had over two hundred one thousand fans ticketed

114
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.759
fans across everything from Friday to Monday
that they were obviously trumpeting and as they

115
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.000
should, and it's a huge money
maker for them, the city that they're

116
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.519
in, what have you, and
it's this huge spectacle. But there are

117
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.919
some things that definitely need to change. So let's get into it on Friday

118
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.120
night. And we're not going to
cover SmackDown obviously, but the Hall of

119
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.639
Fame class of twenty twenty four,
and I want to get this negative out

120
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.919
of the way now, but we've
already kind of talked about it, so

121
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.559
it obviously took place after SmackDown went
off the air. And I actually really

122
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:03.519
enjoy the Hall of Fame coverage that
they do because you just see the wrestlers

123
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.960
and all the personalities that completely shed
away their personas on television and just act

124
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.720
as normal human beings, which is
refreshing to see in professional wrestling. And

125
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.279
I've always enjoyed that the countdown to
the Hall of Fame is always kind of

126
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.360
fun because it's like kind of controlled
chaos, and the interviews are very funny

127
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.960
if you go back and watch them, and it just seems like everybody's having

128
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.360
a good time. But they need
to do something about this. And we've

129
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.919
been saying this for years. It
used to be its own standalone on Saturday

130
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.919
Night and it would take forever.
Well, this past year's ceremony took forever

131
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.639
again. And I don't want to
knock this because this is like obviously lifetime

132
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.120
achievement awards for every one of these
individuals, and I don't want to be

133
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.279
disrespectful to them. But I saw
this on Twitter Doctor Trey, and I

134
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.320
thought it was a great idea.
I think, just don't do SmackDown anymore.

135
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.799
Do not What is the point of
having a go home SmackDown the night

136
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:05.840
before Night one of WrestleMania. Have
Robbie your last wrestling show, have on

137
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.480
andre to the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
on there, finish your storyline tending into

138
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:16.080
WrestleMania and on Friday night, starting
at eight o'clock on Fox, you air

139
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.039
the Hall of Fame Ceremony and it's
a two hour show, and at ten

140
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.279
pm Eastern or wherever you are in
the United States your time zone, that

141
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.600
is when the night is over.
And then everybody from the crew, to

142
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.240
the wrestlers, to the fans and
attendance and watching at home can then get

143
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.879
ready for stands and deliver the next
day. That would be my plea to

144
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.279
w WEE because I think something definitely
needs to change, And that's the number

145
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.039
one thing outside of the stuff the
inductions themselves that came out of this one

146
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.399
is I think everybody across the board
felt like this is just not conducive to

147
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.399
start watching a wrestling show at eight
pm Eastern and then the last thing you

148
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:58.039
see is the Rock saying good night
nearly before one am Eastern. Now I

149
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:03.120
did not watch back Down because of
this, so I just read about it.

150
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.240
Now. One of my things that
I've always said that they've when they've

151
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:13.159
been doing this is like, if
you're on SmackDown, you also want to

152
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.480
be in the crowd for the for
the Hall of Fame. So you got

153
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.639
to wrestle. If you're wrestling on
the show, you got to wrestle your

154
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.519
match, get out of your gear, get showered, get dressed, and

155
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.360
be ready to go, like already
kind of out towards your seat by the

156
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.879
time the Hall of Fame kicks off. That's a lot on somebody, you

157
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.000
know. So I'm with you on
your idea. I liked when the Hall

158
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.840
of Fame with its own standalone show
because I've always felt like the Hall of

159
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:43.039
Fame is like the Galla Ball for
WrestleMania weekend, because it's a lot of

160
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.159
the wrestlers, you know, dressed
to the to the nines. They got

161
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.840
their significant others out there. I
mean a lot of these, a lot

162
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.879
of these, you know, the
wives. The wrestlers don't really get to

163
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.000
be on the road with the guys
that much. The WrestleMania weekends the really

164
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.039
the one time of year or maybe
SummerSlam as well, but the one time

165
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.840
they really get to go out and
be with the family. But then this

166
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.960
is their chance to really dress up, show out, you know, let

167
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.519
the guys kind of showcase their significant
others, or for the ladies showcase their

168
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.799
significant others. To me, it's
just like You're right, like, just

169
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.960
you know, either pre tape SmackDown
on Monday night and air that and then

170
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.200
into the Hall of Fame or just
kind of down. It's like a one

171
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.000
hour SmackDown and then you know,
a two hour Hall of Fame. The

172
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.720
one thing about going to Netflix that'll
be nice is they can structure this differently

173
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.879
because it doesn't have to you know, they're not dependent upon a live broadcast

174
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.399
when it goes USA because USA is
getting smacked down, Netflix is getting raw.

175
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.679
The USA is kind of used to
this stuff, so you could change

176
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.600
up how you do things. You
know, in twenty twenty five when all

177
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.159
these contracts get moved around, Yeah, stuff has to change. It just

178
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.600
does not work. It's a very
nice ceremony, you know. And to

179
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.240
that point, I know you said
you didn't watch SmackDown. The final segment

180
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.000
on SmackDown was with Jay Usso and
then you know, fifteen minutes later you

181
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.320
see him walking out with his son
heading out to the Hall of Fame,

182
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.720
which you know can't be great.
So the negative stuff aside, let's just

183
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.080
go through the Hall of Fame here. Obviously, to me, the big

184
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.159
point of this all was Paul Hayman's
speech. I mean, Paul Hayman's speech

185
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.000
is going to go down as a
top top three of all time, doctor

186
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.279
Trey. I mean the stuff that
he said that I won't repeat here in

187
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.159
case children are listening is phenomenal.
Go out of your way and watch for

188
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:35.399
Randy Orton specific reaction to Paul Hayman
mentioning something about if you think E.

189
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:41.720
CW died in a bankruptcy court,
you can suck his blank. Go out

190
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.519
of your way and check that out
on YouTube. I mean, what an

191
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.120
all time speech, Doctor Trey.
And he said he did not write it

192
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.080
down. I loved it. I
thought it was great. Yeah, I've

193
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:56.240
already used the cancel line when he
said see him, Pun just looked at

194
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.720
my son and say, well,
your dad's got canceled again. And he

195
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.000
said he said, the only thinking
about getting canceled is you can't be canceled

196
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.919
unless you let people cancel you.
And I was like, I'm stealing that.

197
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.000
So, by the way, wrestling
has already gave me two great quotes

198
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.480
from the week that I'm stealing,
like CM Punk's line in his interview where

199
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.639
he said, yeah, I'd rather
choke on greatness than starve on mediocrity.

200
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:20.879
I already used that this week.
And then that Paul Hayman line about canceling,

201
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.679
I'm like, just great speech.
And he bought props you got.

202
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.840
I mean, anytime somebody brings props
to their Hall of Fame speech, I

203
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.240
gotta give hikudo. I love that. I didn't write any this down,

204
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.200
but then he brought a box full
of props, so there was some stuff

205
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.120
that least planned, you know.
And then of course I think the line

206
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.120
about I think it's time for Stephanie
to have men she married the wrong Paul

207
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.200
was a great line as well.
So yeah, just oft and often speech

208
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.559
in the Philadelphia crowd super into it. I did wonder about the placement of

209
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.799
him going first, because he was
arguably the headliner, but then again,

210
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.799
uh, he had a very big
night the next night, so they'd probably

211
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.000
need some rest. Clearly they didn't
want the fans fall asleep during that one.

212
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.440
And I just want to add here, I'm not a big fan of

213
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:13.159
storyline stuff taking place during the Hall
of Fame ceremony. The Muhammad Ali induction,

214
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.600
I got Lannie Ali giving the rock
the People's Championship belt was very strange

215
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.759
to me, And I also felt
like, and this could have been rushed

216
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.159
because Rock wanted to go home and
get everybody home, or w Fishers wanted

217
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.320
to get everybody home. But I
felt like the Rock didn't get an opportunity

218
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.879
to really talk about his grandmother going
into the Hall of Fame and spent you

219
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.600
know, like twenty five percent of
it talk about his match the next night

220
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.039
with Cody Rhoades. So I would
prefer storyline stuff to stay out of the

221
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.440
Hall of Fame. I think that's
like the one time that fans wrestlers should

222
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.240
all let their guard down and just
enjoy what's taking place. Yeah, and

223
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.240
then also the fact that, like
when we saw the Hall of Fame inductees,

224
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:58.120
they had the Rock's mom out there
for his grandmother. Why not just

225
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.799
let auta induct Leia. That would
have been just I get it. You

226
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.200
want the Rock on there, and
I guess the Rock is to be the

227
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.480
headliner for the closing person, but
you know, you could have let the

228
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.679
rocks mom give a speech and you
have been just as fine. The other

229
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:14.720
thing I really didn't like a lot. I don't some of these fans I

230
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.720
don't like. I mean, people
were talking during bold mccanno's speech. I'm

231
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.679
like, I seriously just agree to
be respectful. Like and that's the doubtside

232
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.159
of having it in a big arena, you know, just maybe having a

233
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:29.600
smaller venue and that way you can
kind of pick and choose your audience so

234
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.360
they can be respectful because uh look, trust me, the Bowld mcconom speech

235
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.559
was kind of hard to get through
if because she doesn't speak great English.

236
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.639
I get that, but just keep
your mouth shut during the person talking.

237
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.320
Completely agree, completely agree. It's
like, guys, this is that's my

238
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.759
thing is let's let's not have it
be a restling event and just like let

239
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.919
it be part of the celebration professional
wrestling and just let the guard down for

240
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.519
a little bit. We don't need
what chance, we don't need talking durance

241
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.039
speeches, we don't need you know, booze and all that crap. It's

242
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:00.879
just like, let's just enjoyed the
Hall of Fame ceremony for what it is.

243
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.799
So there you go, doctor Trey, that's the Hall of Fame ceremony.

244
00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:07.039
Any other notes that you had from
this one, I think, you

245
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:10.400
know, from my standpoint, I
think we hit everything I want to touch

246
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.680
upon. I thought thunder bol Patterson
had a really good speech as well,

247
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.920
and then agreed the micro ton to
Berry Window micro ton to. I mean

248
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.519
just watching the emotion come through the
whole rotunda, Wyndham family with with Brave's

249
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.799
passing and the timing of all this
stuff. I mean that that's it's gotta

250
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.559
be a hard speech to. I
mean, even though you're you're accepting the

251
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.920
award for yourself, you know,
there there was the talk that they had

252
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.759
asked about having Braik jump in,
you know, by putting Bray in this

253
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.160
year and might kind of put it
down, uh, but you know,

254
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.240
the cute part was watching Mike and
Barry try to figure out how to work

255
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.920
their phones to give you the fireflys
on it. That was kind of cute,

256
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:53.400
but it was you know, but
it's emotional. I mean, this

257
00:17:53.519 --> 00:18:00.720
was maybe the most the biggest class
that people who had passed on in quite

258
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.599
in that I can heard. Usually
there's only like one maybe two at the

259
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.799
most, but the you know,
we're honoring Bray, but then Muhammad Ali

260
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:11.039
had passed on, you know,
and Leah Miava had passed on. It's

261
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.079
kind of like honoring three people in
a lot of ways that have passed on

262
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.680
so very very emotional night, but
some great speeches in there as well.

263
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:18.920
Yeah, I don't know when we'll
get an opportunity to mention this, but

264
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.839
I did love that every night of
WRESTLMANI a weekend from Friday to Monday,

265
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.279
that there was some sort of tribute
to Bray Wyatt at the Hall of Fame,

266
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.359
which you just spoke about, and
then there were times during on Saturday

267
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.359
and Sunday they did the fireflies played
his music, and then they also did

268
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.039
it on Monday. There's obviously some
stuff where now it's looking like the return

269
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.799
of Uncle Howdy Taylor, Rotunda Bo
Dallas is coming back to w w WE

270
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.880
soon. There's the beginning of those
teases. So that's exciting. But the

271
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.160
Hall of Fame ceremony was a fun
night of celebrating the world Professional wrestling.

272
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.640
And then that takes us to NXC
stand and deliver recap review that came to

273
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:57.680
us this past Saturday from the Wells
Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We're

274
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:00.160
gonna run through the card here,
We're gonna do something new. Now,

275
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.799
I'm gonna go through the results and
then we'll go through and get some thoughts

276
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:11.119
about the entire event. So Joe
Gacy defeated Sewan Spears in the pre show

277
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.920
match. Doctor Tray and I both
had Sewn Spears. Baron Carbon and Braun

278
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:19.440
Breaker defeated Nathan Fraser and Axiom to
retain the NXC Tag Team Championship. We

279
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.960
both had the wolf Dogs getting the
victory. Obafemi defeats Die Jack and Josh

280
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.440
Briggs in a triple threat match to
retain the NX North American Championship. We

281
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:33.480
both had Obafemi thea Haal Vallen Henley
and Klooney Jordan defeated Jac Jay and Keana

282
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.440
James and Izzy Dame. We both
had j C. Jame, Keana James,

283
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.079
and Izzy Dame to win that one. Roxane Perez defeats a Libra Valkyrie

284
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.519
to win the nc Women's Championship.
We both had rox and Perez. Ilia

285
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.880
dragon Off defeats Tony Dangelo to retain
the NFC Championship. We both at Elia

286
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:53.160
dragon Off and then the main event, Trick Williams defeats Carmelo Hayes. I

287
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:59.000
had Trick Williams. Doctor Trey had
Carmelo Hayes. Pay per view prediction record

288
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.160
from this one. I went five
and two, Doctor Trey went four and

289
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:04.480
three, And now we'll get to
some of the matches and moments we want

290
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:11.440
to discuss coming out of NX Standing
Delivered from this past Saturday. I guess

291
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.039
the first thing I want to bring
up here, Doctor Trey is Trick and

292
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.880
Carmelo was kind of a letdown for
me. I thought it was surprisingly quick,

293
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:23.799
and after that great build, I
just felt like it didn't parlay into

294
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.039
the match itself. Unfortunately. I
thought it was really quick and that that

295
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.559
that surprised me. I think that's
probably my biggest takeaway from Stand Deliver.

296
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.960
It was an overall very solid card, but I thought the way that it

297
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.759
ended in that match specifically kind of
left me scratching my head a little bit.

298
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.400
Yeah, it felt like they wanted
to give the crowd a reason to

299
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.440
go home happy earlier, but it
almost like that match got cut short,

300
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.279
like they were running out of time. So they will maybe something with maybe

301
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:53.039
something with a little long and well, yeah, sometimes you can go with

302
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:57.559
the baby face to go over strong
over the dastardly eel. It kind of

303
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.640
turns I don't say a squash match, but it kind of felt like and

304
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.079
we'll talk about this on WrestleMania a
little bit too. But it kind of

305
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.200
felt like a Brock match, whereas
like we're gonna just get hit the high

306
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.640
points and go home, you know, so it wasn't on team. I

307
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:17.200
was really surprised at how dominant the
Roxane Perez victory over Lyra Bogery was Like,

308
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:21.240
that was a little bit more.
I thought it'd be Lyra would kind

309
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:23.200
of dominate and Roxye would have to
sneak out of wind. But that's not

310
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.440
how that one came off. And
the joke. I think we all love

311
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.839
Joe Gacy, but I was kind
of surprised that they had Gaycy get the

312
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.359
win on the pre show. Yeah, that was surprising. The Ridge Hot

313
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.000
Holland storyline thing was kind of strange. Hopefully we see that tie up a

314
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.640
little bit. I know you don't. You have not watched NXC television from

315
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.720
this past week, Doctor Trey,
so I guess I have to unfortunately spoil

316
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:52.319
some things. My apologies. Fine, the wolf Dog's losing on Tuesday coming

317
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:53.960
out of Stand and Liver. I'm
not the biggest fan of that type of

318
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:56.119
booking. I gotta be honest,
Like, why do you do it at

319
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.319
the pl e and then you follow
up on free television and and you do

320
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.240
the title change. That is such
an old school wrestling thing. It's not

321
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.039
not my favorite. I think on
that one, I'm gonna give the credits.

322
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.359
I'm gonna say that basically, they
the drafts around the corner. I

323
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.799
think you and I both agree Braun
will be one of the feature people they

324
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.119
get drafted. Well, he's on
SmackDown. I mean yes, but they

325
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:23.039
really haven't used him that much the
last month. I think they figured the

326
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:27.559
viewership for Stand and Deliver is gonna
be higher than what NXT television is.

327
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:33.240
So if you put the shine on
Braun at the plee, some people will

328
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.559
miss the XT things. So when
you use him in the draft, they're

329
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:37.240
like, oh, yeah, I
saw him in standon Deliver. He's a

330
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.640
badass, And that might be kind
of why they did the booking like that

331
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.720
as well. But yeah, I'm
not a big fan, like, let

332
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:45.160
you know, if you're gonna put
the belts on new champions, let him

333
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.359
have their moments to pl Yeah,
I guess my things would be like let

334
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:56.359
him get his farewell at Stand and
Deliver like they did with Tomaso Champa a

335
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.920
couple of years ago. I don't
know if he preferred to say goodbye to

336
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.880
the PC crowd instead, but it's
like if if they lose, let them

337
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.680
during the wrestl in a weekend,
like get get their flowers and and say

338
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.039
goodbye to NXT like they've done in
the past. You know, maybe their

339
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:14.599
thought is, you know, we're
putting the belts on two new guys.

340
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:18.160
These are these guys. They're gonna
be here a little bit longer. Bron's

341
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.640
not gonna be here, so let
them maybe let them ingratiate themselves even more

342
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:25.759
to that PC audience, because that
crowd, you know, when it's when

343
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:29.599
that crowd's hot, it's hot,
you know. So I mean those guys,

344
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.200
I mean make or break people really
really quickly. So maybe that it's

345
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:38.400
just a weird booking thing when they
do that. But I'm just gonna say

346
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.039
that that they probably thought, either, hey, the viewerships would be higher

347
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.599
for Staty deliverso Bronka looked good and
then would come back to PC. You

348
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:47.960
know, we put the belts on
these guys, and you know, the

349
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.079
crowd swallows them up and eats them
up, and you know, we can

350
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:53.519
see how they go from there,
and then the Ridge Holland part from Tuesday's

351
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.079
NXT. So he retires, he's
out of the ring, he's not a

352
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:03.279
competitor anymore. They've run a little
angle backstage with Joaquin Wilde, and I

353
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.599
always want to say his old name, but it's like Cruise del Santos delos

354
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:12.559
Santos, is that? What is
it? Cruz del Toro, Cruz del

355
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.559
Toro, I always get. I
always like mix up his old name too,

356
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.799
like Robel Mendoza with that one.
But Ridge Holland has taken on Joaquin

357
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.319
wild But he didn't come out and
say that he's no longer retired anymore.

358
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.960
And it's like they just announced it
at the end of Anic Sea and I

359
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.119
was kind of like, like,
that's a weird thing for how well w

360
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.240
WE like ties up loose ends.
They're not saying like Ridge Holland's like,

361
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:37.759
all right, I'm back, I'm
wrestling in any type of segment. It's

362
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.519
it is what it is. But
his gimmee should be he retires at the

363
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.240
end of every show that would be
interrestling. It would just basically be Sean

364
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:51.880
Michaels from ninety five, all right, anything else on this car dot sure

365
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.680
before we get to match, Match
of the night and event rating from Standing

366
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.960
Delivery, I mean I think I
think that, you know, we'll talk

367
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:02.200
about I thought that that was basically
like got by key points from it.

368
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.880
I gave Stand Deliver. My event
rating was a three point five out of

369
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.000
five. My match of the night
was Opa femin die Jack and Josh Briggs.

370
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:17.799
I really enjoyed that one. Yeah, I was three point seven and

371
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:21.759
I actually had to say matches you
Like, I really that that double slam

372
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:25.480
he pulled off on Briggs and die
Jack. I was like amazed by that.

373
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:27.640
But then also just the fact that
all three of those guys I could

374
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:33.000
see being pretty decent stars, like, you know, upper mid card,

375
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.440
lower main event guys on the main
roster within a couple of years. Oh

376
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:37.960
if Hemmy's a freak of nature,
but you know, Briggs has a lot

377
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:42.200
of jbl and die Jack's just the
freak of nature it himself. So any

378
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:45.559
one of those guys could could be
a breakout star in w w E.

379
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.359
Yeah, those spots that they were
doing. That match was absolutely wild.

380
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.400
So there you go. Stand Delivers
in the books. That takes us now

381
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.920
to resuming forty nine to one.
Resuming Saturday recap in review, I Can't

382
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.599
do Us this past Saturday from Lincoln
Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pencilvan Ria Ripley

383
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.000
defeats Becky Lynster, retaining the WA
Women's World Championship. We both had Rio

384
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:08.119
Ripley, A Town Down Under win
the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. In The

di Y, the New Day and
the New Catch Republic in a six pack

387
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:19.680
ladder match for the e then undisputed
w A Tag Team Championship. Both Doctor

388
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:22.119
Trey and I had The Awesome Truth
winning the Raw Tag titles, an A

389
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:27.079
Town Down Under winning the SmackDown Tag
Team Championship. The next match was Raymisterian

390
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:33.319
Androde filling in for the injured Dragon
Lee, defeating Santos Escobar and Dominic Mysterio.

391
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:37.960
I had RAYMISTERI and Androde Doctor trade
Santos and Dominic. Jay Uso defeats

392
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.680
Jimmy Uso. We both had jay
Usso, Jade Cargill, Bianca bel Air

393
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.319
and Now we defeated Damage Control.
We both had Jade Bianca and Naomi Sammy

394
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:49.160
Zayin defeats Gunther to win the WI
CUNTINALD Championship and end the six hundred and

395
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:53.559

and then Roman Reigns in The Rock defeat

396
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.880
Cody Rhodes and Seth Freaking Ronalds,
making the championship match on Night two between

397
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:00.519
Rains and Roads to be held under
Bloodline rules. Doctor Trey and I both

398
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:06.960
had Roman Reigns and The Rock winning
that one matches in moments that we wanted

399
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:08.799
to discuss coming out of Night one, Doctor Try. I guess it's easy

400
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:14.480
to start with the main event here. I really enjoyed this tag team match,

401
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.519
slow build, great storytelling, and
it set up a ton of interest

402
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.319
for Wrestumantia Sunday. What a great
table setter match for the entire weekend.

403
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.759
I really enjoyed the tag team title
match certainly, Yeah, and I like

404
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.960
how they put the match together because
it wasn't like very long into that match.

405
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.200
They went out to the crowd.
And when you have a guy like

406
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:37.680
Rock, even though he's been training
with Dallas and all these people and everything

407
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:42.440
going, man, it's different being
out there from an audience and in the

408
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:47.039
ring that even in training, So
it was nice to have him go out

409
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:48.759
to the crowd brawl for a little
bit, kind of get his feet under

410
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.599
him to come back into the match. But yeah, it was. It

411
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.680
was. It was a really really
solid tag match, some good storytelling and

412
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.559
things like that. So it was
a really great on the pick Off night.

413
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.839
I mean, to end one at
least Lovedrea Ripleing and Becky Lynch.

414
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.279
That was a fun match. The
six pack ladder match, I really enjoyed.

415
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:11.599
That was a fun match. Again, hat tip to Doctor Trey for

416
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:15.640
saying this is how they split the
titles. Jay and Jimmy was kind of

417
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:21.359
a letdown for me. I did
not really enjoy that one as much as

418
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:26.880
I was hoping Ray and Andrade was
winning. That one was kind of the

419
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:32.920
Sports Center match where Lane Johnson and
Jason Kelsey came out. Jade, Bianca

420
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:34.759
and Naomi winning was a good match
as well. I thought it was a

421
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:40.000
great way of protecting Jade and we
mentioned on last week's show. If the

422
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:42.759
plan is which I would imagine is
the money in this all is to eventually

423
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:47.160
do Jade and Bianca. I mean, I like the slow build that you're

424
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:51.319
seeing like the change in creative patterns, because if I think if Vince was

425
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.880
at the Helm, they would be
I would have been doing Bianca versus Jade

426
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:57.640
on night one instead of them tagging
and let this build out a little bit.

427
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.559
Sammy defeating Conthor was a huge shock
to me. Doctor Trey took me

428
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:08.079
by surprise. Loved the last minute
of it, and I saw Triple H

429
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.000
mentioning this, and I actually wrote
this down on my notes on Saturday night.

430
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:18.319
I think Sammy Zain has become this
current generation's mister WrestleMania. His connection

431
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.000
with the fan base is amazing.
And Triple H nearly said the same thing

432
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.960
where he said Sammy Zain is is
as a connection to the fan base like

433
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.519
Sean Michaels did. So those are
some of my feelings and moments from Wrestlemanty

434
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:34.319
Night one as well. Yeah,
so for me, Ria and Becky it

435
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:38.279
was a good match, but it
didn't It wasn't what Rhea and Charlotte was

436
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:41.119
last year. Agreed. Yeah,
so I was a little bit littlely down,

437
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.680
but then again, I'm like they're
they're selling it that Becky. Basically

438
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:49.599
Becky had broad kaitas so Travis almost
the same thing, so we almost go,

439
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.880
Okay, you kind of have to
give her a pass on the match,

440
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.079
you know at times, but it's
still you really solid match. The

441
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:02.000
Santo's Dominic ray On Drawing match had
its moments where it was really cool,

442
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:07.359
but I really just I didn't like
the Kelsey like Johnson getting involved because it

443
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.039
just didn't make any sense to me
at all. Like I was just like,

444
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.319
well, this is a horrible way
to end this match. But that

445
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:21.079
double plancha with Andrada and Ray coming
down on Santo's and and uh, Donic

446
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:23.599
was cool. And then you got
a little bit of the LWO and and

447
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:27.200
uh, you know, Legato getting
involved, and they did that really crazy

448
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:32.200
springboard spot with walking into Wild where
they launch him halfway up the ramp,

449
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:36.079
like that's pretty cool, and be
featured on BL's cool. Uh, Jimmy

450
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:37.359
and Jay was a letdown, And
I think a lot of it was that

451
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.839
moment in the middle of the match
that like Jimmy or yeah, Jimmy started

452
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.720
playing hurt and wanting like sympathy and
Jake gave it to him. It just

453
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.000
it took away from the entire match. After it, it was just like,

454
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.039
dude, how dumb, are you? Like, the guy's been kicking

455
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:53.000
your ass for six months and you're
just gonna be like, oh, I'm

456
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.759
sorry, yeah, it's cool.
I'll then you got screwed on it.

457
00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:00.559
But Jay got the wind and you
know, the crowd loves saying for some

458
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:06.640
reason, it is what it is. But that Guther Sammy match was so

459
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:15.680
good and so entertaining and you know, goother like playing the Sammy's wife during

460
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:19.359
the match. I was like,
this is it's weird, but it's the

461
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:23.000
first time you've really seen Guther get
cocky in a match, which is a

462
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.559
little bit different from his character.
Like his character is like, you know,

463
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.480
he's a purist, like he just
wants to get the victory and and

464
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.880
win the match, and this one
was kind of like, you know,

465
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.480
trying to show up Sammy on the
stage and it cost him the rain.

466
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:40.720
I was surprised that he lost the
rain. Also on day six sixty six,

467
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:42.839
so you know, on the same
week, we were having a Stollberry

468
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:45.319
clips in the World's Coming to an
End and stuff like that. So and

469
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.759
I suffered an earthquake. Yeah,
there you go. I totally forgot about

470
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.720
that. I was watching Yankees batting
practice when the earthquake happened. Actually,

471
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.799
yeah, I thought the subway was
going underneath my my condo, but that

472
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:01.839
there's no subway here, So there
you go. Night one in the books

473
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:06.720
pay per View Predictions, I went
six and one. Doctor Trey went five

474
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:12.119
and two. Event rating match the
night I gave restumating a Saturday at four

475
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:15.119
point three. In my match the
night was Rains and Rock, Cody and

476
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.480
Seth. I was a little bit
lower than you. I was a four

477
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:22.599
point one. And as much as
I want to get Sammy and Guther,

478
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:24.279
Sammy, I think I said nothing. You feel like I kind of wanted

479
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:28.599
to pick Sammy, but I didn't
think Samy could win all the time.

480
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.160
I guess, uh, you know, when you're a triple eh guy,

481
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:35.839
you can win all the time.
So I Samy and Guther was a great

482
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:37.759
match. Plus, I mean,
hell, Sammy wins the Your Kindo title

483
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:42.240
while Sammy Frank was watching it be
done, so I can't It's hardly pick

484
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.079
against that. Yeah, it's very
easy to dislocate our shoulders now and like

485
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:47.880
pat ourselves on the back and say
like, oh, I wish I picked

486
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.519
Sammy. I mean I felt the
same way that that is like the one

487
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.680
match from Wrestumating week, and it's
like, man even like going into it

488
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:55.759
when the way that they were hyping
up was like, why the hell didn't

489
00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:00.559
I pick Sammy to win? Like
he's winning this match, There's no way

490
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.839
with all this build up he loses. As soon as I saw Ko backstage,

491
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:07.119
when you saw Sammy and his wife, then Sammy and Gable and then

492
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.680
Sammy and Ko, I was like, Sammy's win in this match. Yeah,

493
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:14.039
No, I thought the same thing. And I also want to just

494
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:15.519
give a hat tip. I was
so happy Archer with Guy at the wrestlining

495
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:21.680
moment. What I thought I would
he he's uh, he's bitter like he

496
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:25.880
debuted WT Age of twenty seven,
he's fifty three now and this is his

497
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:30.200
first WrestleMania win, which also shows
you that Vince is in the idiot at

498
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.200
times when they come to certain characters. Yeah. I remember him as k

499
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:37.000
Quick in the early two thousands,
teaming with road Dog, So props to

500
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.559
our truth get Rowdy. Yes,
I actually have that album somewhere CD.

501
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.599
But then obviously spent some time in
TENA. You were saying something to doctor

502
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:49.480
Try. Yeah, was that your
your street Cred CD. Was that your

503
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:51.759
street cred song back in the day
when you were going to high school?

504
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.960
Like get round? I don't want
to, I don't want to, like

505
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:57.240
get too deep into this the first
ever CD I ever own. This is

506
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:01.920
factual, nineteen ninety five Coolio Gangs
to Paradise album. You were such a

507
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:07.640
rebel back there. I was,
You're you. You were one one rough

508
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.119
weekend from joining the main street posse. Second album I own, and this

509
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:15.679
is legitimate as well. Uh Peter
Paul Mary's Greatest Hits, So that is

510
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:22.159
the vast difference. And then third
Garth Brooks greated sits So we're We're and

511
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:24.719
that is me in a nutshell you
want to talk about. I have a

512
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:29.920
wide ranging love of music, whether
it be hip hop, country, R

513
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.519
and B, what have you rock? I'm here for it. Folks Night

514
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:38.559
two wrestumting a Sunday recap reviews obviously
was this past Sunday from Lincoln Financial Field

515
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:44.679
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Uh.
Drew McIntyre defeats Seth Freakin Rowlands to win

516
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:47.960
the WA Reliveweight Championship, and then
Damian Priest defeats Drew McIntyre to win the

517
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.920
WA Reliveweight Championship. Doctor Trey and
I, funny enough both at Damian Priest

518
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.559
Cash ins Uh. Doctor Trey did
have Drew McIntyre winning that match, and

519
00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:00.320
then Damian Cash in the Pride defeats
the Final Tes Simon in a Philadelphia street

520
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:04.719
fight. I had the Pride doctory
of the Final Testament LA and I defeats

521
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.559
AJ Styles. We both at AJ
Styles. Logan Pol defeats Randy Orton Kevin

522
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:12.400
Owens to retain the w United States
Championship. We both had Logan Pol Bailey

523
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.159
defeats Eo Sky to win the w
Women's Championship. We both had Bailey and

524
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:22.880
Cody Rhodes defeats Roman Reigns to win
the undisputed ww Universal Championship in a Bloodline

525
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:29.159
rules match. We both had Cody
Rhoads winning that one. Matches in moments

526
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:32.360
that we want to discuss, it's
very easily to start with Cody Rhodes finishing

527
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:37.519
the story Doctor Trey. For the
very first time since August twenty twenty,

528
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:44.119
we have a new WWE Universal Champion. I mean that match is going to

529
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:49.079
be forever remembered. It was the
Avengers for professional Wrestling. It is what

530
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:52.719
wrestling is all about. Good storytelling
in the ring, fun moments, nostalgia

531
00:35:52.760 --> 00:36:00.199
moments, nostalgia pops, entertainment,
emotion. The story is finished. There's

532
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:04.840
one drawback and the only reason why
there's a drawback is because of Russell Votes

533
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:08.159
and putting it out there and the
moment where the Rock is beating up Cody

534
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:14.519
Roads outside of the rain in Chicago
and they have the trailer lit up with

535
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:17.480
Johnsen and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
The one thing that was missing was if

536
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:22.360
Stone Cold Steve Auston came out.
But you know what, go back and

537
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:27.400
listen to that gong and the Undertaker
comes out. That is a very loud

538
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.800
pop. So would there have been
a Stone Cold pop just as equal to

539
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:34.880
that? Absolutely, But they made
up for it as well. I mean,

540
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.559
I think that's the easiest thing to
start with here. Doctor Trey is

541
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:39.719
Cody Rhoades finishing the story. I
love that match. That was match was

542
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:43.679
fun. Yeah, that match was
fantasy. I think you and I talked

543
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:47.320
about it off the air after that
week show and we said if Jay usso

544
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:51.960
John Cena, No, we talked
about that on air air, Yes,

545
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.599
And that's how I convinced you to
change your pick. Yeah, it's true.

546
00:36:54.639 --> 00:37:00.440
I think we I think we think
if that would that be the greatest

547
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:04.440
wrestling match of all time, And
you said it'd be hard to top it.

548
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.480
Well, we didn't get stone Cold, we got the Undertaker, so

549
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:14.840
it's really really close. But I
would say I would say that I still

550
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:19.320
feel like Steve Austin Kevin Owens was
more entertaining. That's just my personal preference.

551
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:24.199
I would say that that's not where
there's This is a two year long

552
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.880
build up to get to this match. I hear you, I hear you

553
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:34.400
right to add and then to added. I mean there's the the seth Rawlin

554
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.679
stuff with Roman in that match,
and then you got the scene of solo,

555
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.360
you got the USO's, you got
Undertaker choke slamming Rock all in this

556
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:47.280
match. You even had that momentary
staredown between Roman and Cody that was reminiscent

557
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:52.000
of the R excuse me rock in
Sina, which goes back to what twenty

558
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:57.119
nine and thirty, but then also
Hogan and Rock from WrestleMania. I mean,

559
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:01.800
there was some good storytelling that match
eye together. I mean fifteen year

560
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:06.599
stuff, twenty years stuff, ten
year stuff. I mean, there was

561
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:09.159
a lot of threads being pulled on
in that match, and they pulled it

562
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:12.960
off pretty seamlessly. So I got
to get those guys a lot of credit.

563
00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:17.199
If it's not the great, it
might be the greatest main event to

564
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:25.840
close out a Wrestlemanian history. I
mean, but I think if you went

565
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:31.639
back in a time wrestlmingy thirty people
would throw out there, right. People

566
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:37.039
love Yesselmania, and I just for
me I when I bring up to Steve

567
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:40.639
Austin comparisons, So here's the difference. I always I got to the point

568
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:44.840
where I thought Cody Roach is going
to win on Sunday, and if he

569
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:47.679
didn't, I think we would be
looking at this entire like wrestling landscape,

570
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:51.679
like what do they do from here? Like how the hell do they do

571
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:54.679
what they did last year and do
it again? I expected that. I

572
00:38:54.760 --> 00:39:00.400
never expected Steve Austin to wrestle again, And I'm just talking in short term

573
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:07.400
memory, and even leading into that
one, we weren't necessarily sure. And

574
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:09.119
I mean, I'm kind of gotta
spoil this. I don't want to spoil

575
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:13.360
my feelings on Restraining forty quite yet. But I think if you're been a

576
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:15.840
long time listening, you can kind
of see where I'm heading with some stuff.

577
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:19.960
It was expected Cody doing the story, but it was just so damn

578
00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:22.719
entertaining. I mean, ultimately,
it was like you're just sitting there and

579
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.280
it's like, this is so much
fun. We're exhausted. It's fun.

580
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:30.119
But I just felt like the feeling
of the moment I had was was a

581
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:34.119
tad bit higher when Steve Austin was
wrestling coming Kevin Owens, because I love

582
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:37.239
those two guys so much as a
wrestling fan. I think, I don't

583
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:38.599
know, I don't know if you
if you did this deep dive. But

584
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:44.280
I saw a video today of a
kid crying that Cody won, and I

585
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:46.920
went on YouTube and started like just
kind of searching out, like Cody wrote,

586
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:52.559
like kids reactions to Cody winning,
And it was kind of across the

587
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:55.880
board, like these young kids,
these eight, nine, ten, eleven

588
00:39:55.960 --> 00:40:01.239
year olds like just universally love Cody
legitimately thought that he wasn't going to win

589
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:05.840
because of that blood. So they
were so emotion and you know, guys

590
00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:07.960
like us that are kind of and
I'm using the air quotes, I think

591
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.039
you guys can't the smart marks of
the world, like we can see the

592
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:14.840
writing on the wall. But for
me, like in that moment, it

593
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:16.960
was kind of like going back to
when you're a kid and you kind of

594
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:21.039
thought wrestling was real, but you
didn't know for certain like it was still

595
00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:24.159
real to those kids. Yeah,
so it's a little bit of to me,

596
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:30.039
it was like the Daniel Brian WrestleMania
thirties up there, Kevin Owens Stone

597
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:34.440
call because of the nostalgia for us, because we never thought we'd see Stone

598
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:37.840
call wrestle in our stone called wrestling
in you know, Ben Waugh and Eddie

599
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:43.239
closing out. Was it wrest twenty
Yeah, So I mean maybe it's like

600
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:47.800
every ten year things for us.
You know, Sean Michaels beating Brett Hart,

601
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.480
that was wrestling at twelve. Yeah, So I mean those ones are

602
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:55.800
up there, But I mean to
get that moment where like remember I think

603
00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:58.480
I told you off here, I
said, if you get that moment where

604
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:00.679
you got you know, I was
trying to say, if you had Austin,

605
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:05.119
Cina and Cody in the ring at
one at one time, you had

606
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:14.000
Ko, Sammy Sina, Randy Orton
all celebrating Johnson's win in Cody Rose win

607
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:19.679
co Cody Rose his win at one
time you you kind of got that,

608
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:22.719
and then you have seth Rownin's on
the outside, who could barely stand at

609
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.159
that point. You know, like, dear god, that was that was

610
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:29.920
a pretty It's coming one. Ones
like Jeff, when you and I are

611
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:34.360
sixty, you know we're gonna we're
gonna talk about how WrestleMania forty closed out.

612
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:37.400
It's definitely a memorable one, don't
get me wrong at all. And

613
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.599
and I'm just saying this is just
personal preference and maybe historically changes people's minds

614
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:45.719
as well, including mine. But
what I liked about the end finish is

615
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:51.239
the very first wrestlemanting that I remember
watching start to finish live was Wrestmating at

616
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:53.599
ten when I was a little kid
in nineteen ninety four. And they close

617
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:59.559
out that show with Brett Hart doing
the unthinkable despite losing early night against Owen

618
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:02.719
Hart and the Opener, and he
defeats Yokazuna in like five minutes and really

619
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:06.599
not a great match if you go
back and watch it. No disrespect everybody,

620
00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:08.920
but they close out that show and
they bring out all the baby faces

621
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:14.000
and they lift Brett Hard up and
they did that moment thirty years later with

622
00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:17.679
Kevin Owens, excuse me, with
Cody Rhoads with Kevin Owens and Sammy's a

623
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:21.599
and the ring jay Uza lifting them
up, and I thought that was really

624
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:22.920
cool. And I don't know if
they did that purposely as a hat tip

625
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:27.840
to Wrestle A eighty ten, but
it was very old school and I loved

626
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:31.199
it. The part that got me, and you didn't really realize it to

627
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:36.599
me, at least as I was
watching until after the show. The Seth

628
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:44.719
Rollins factor in this all is a
very instrumental, potentially foreshadowing part in this

629
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:52.280
him. The reason why Cody Rhoads
won is because Rain's had an opportunity to

630
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:57.079
take the chair and hit Cody Rhoads
with it and end the match. But

631
00:42:57.159 --> 00:43:01.559
Seth is in the ring in the
shield regalia, and Roman Reigns finally has

632
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:07.719
his first misstep in nearly forty years
as champion. Instead of going after Cody,

633
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:12.760
wants to get revenge for Plan B
when Seth took him out ten years

634
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:16.760
ago. Strikes Seth Rons with a
chair and that's when Cody Rhods capitalizes.

635
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:21.760
Hits the three Crossroads. The one
two three and becomes new champion and then

636
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:24.960
outside the ring, like you can
make a strong case and maybe they'll do

637
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:30.079
the storyline wise and maybe Seth turn
zeal at some point. The reason why

638
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:34.960
Cody Rhoads won that match is because
of Seth rons like he lived up to

639
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:37.440
his end of the barket by saying
I can be your shield and to me,

640
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:40.199
the way that it played out in
the ring, the way that they

641
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:45.280
set it up, the foreshadowing,
the build, everything that went on with

642
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:51.079
we want Cody back in early February
coming out of Royal rumble Wwe executed it

643
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:54.000
perfectly ultimately at the end of the
day here Doctor Trey and everything that they

644
00:43:54.039 --> 00:44:00.079
did creatively, I absolutely loved and
I mean massive, massive hat tip for

645
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:02.920
them on the execution. And I
don't know if you when when Cody reached

646
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:07.599
the rubs of shakes Seth's hand,
he said, he goes, I owe

647
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:09.639
you one, and Seth goes,
I'm on to halt you tube. Yeah

648
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:14.000
it's coming up. It is.
I don't know that there was a moment

649
00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:17.519
in the Shields music hit I was
like, I know Seth's coming is mocks

650
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:23.960
up there, same same same,
I really I thought that like that went

651
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:27.719
through my head where I was like, man, could you imagine if they

652
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:32.239
got Moxley, that place would have
lost their shit and AW would have benefited

653
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:35.800
from that just as equally. And
then I went back and play I was

654
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:39.360
like, oh, maybe they got
Kurt Angle to where the Shields hated God,

655
00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:45.119
I hated that other stuff from this
one. I really enjoyed talk about

656
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:47.440
Seth. I really enjoyed the Drew
Mcatar Seth Freak and Rollins match. I

657
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:51.239
thought that was great. It was
really good. It was fast paced.

658
00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:54.039
Uh, the celebration afterwards was really
good. Rubbing in the face to see

659
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:59.199
him punk then Punk taken out Drew
and the Damien cash in was really well

660
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:06.039
executed. Logan Paul Randy Or and
Kevin Owens was really good. Clearly I

661
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:09.280
have no idea who I show Speed
is because he made an appearance. So

662
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:13.960
for two years in a row,
somebody revealed themselves in the prime thing and

663
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:15.719
I no idea who it was.
Do you know who that is? That's

664
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:19.480
true When it happened once again two
years in a row, for a moment

665
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:22.280
I thought it was our truth.
Well, I mean, Michael Cole thought

666
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:25.800
it well Michael Cole thought it was
KSI. Yeah, I don't know I

667
00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:30.199
And here's the thing I watch.
Well, No, I've watched a couple

668
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:35.119
episodes of Impulsive. You know,
I don't know who these people are.

669
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:37.679
And then I think that guy's not
even on their show. He's just another

670
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.519
YouTuber. No, I looked at
I had to look it up after the

671
00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:43.480
match. I mean, this is
now how old I am? He is

672
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:49.119
I believe a twitch streamers. It's
sad that that's the thing. No,

673
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:55.280
it's amazing. I stole shows.
I show speed, I show speed all

674
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:59.159
one word. Though I show speed. It's pronounced I show speed, but

675
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:01.159
it's all one word. Write this
down so you can tell your steps on

676
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:06.519
later, like, hey, did
you know I show I show stuff?

677
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:09.559
Was that the WrestleMania. I'm gonna
ask him after the after we got to

678
00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:15.000
show, after we got our show
that I'm showing my age. That's gonna

679
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:16.519
be my name. That's my Twitch
name. I show eight. By the

680
00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:20.920
way, I'm gonna I am age. That's it. That's all it is.

681
00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:25.280
But yeah, that's did no clue
that was I. But I do

682
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:29.039
love. Apparently that's gonna be a
thing with the Prime mascot gets beat up

683
00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:34.079
every If we get Pete Rose in
the prime thing for Cana choke Slam at

684
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:36.320
moy Year, that would be good. Yeah, no, keep it going

685
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:40.159
and in that match, clearly it
would. I would believe a Randy Orton

686
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:45.119
Kevin Owens tag team is coming because
a Town down Under won the tag titles

687
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:50.159
for SmackDown, which at one point, I think or leading into the Wrestling

688
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:52.360
Weekend, there was rumors that they
were gonna get pulled from that match.

689
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:55.679
Yeah for pretty deadly. I don't
know how that came about, but yeah.

690
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.639
So those are some of the things
that I took away from Night to

691
00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:00.639
Doctor Trey, your your thoughts on
some things that you enjoyed from Night too.

692
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:06.760
Number one was, yeah, apparently
Seth is his body's just giving out

693
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:09.800
because that match was very hard hitting. But I told my wife, I

694
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:13.239
said, this is a Brock Lester
match. And I say that because it

695
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:15.400
was literally like finish finish. It
was just like we're gonna hit our big,

696
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:17.760
our big moves, over and over
and over again. It was like

697
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:22.360
one of those the old school Brock
Roman matches where a Brock and Goldberg where

698
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:25.199
it's just f fives and spars,
you know, but uh, I did

699
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:28.800
not know that was Drew's wife.
I was like, who's that young chick

700
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:32.360
in the front row. I thought
it was his daughter or something. But

701
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:36.760
the Damien Cash I thought was great
and it's a good way to kind of

702
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:43.000
you know Drew because the crowd booed
see him punk when he was attacking Drew.

703
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:45.800
That was the crazy thing about that
whole thing for me. So but

704
00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:51.199
that was that was pretty cool.
I don't know. Bailey EO was was

705
00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:54.239
decent, but kind of a letdown. I think it's because I think I

706
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:58.280
told you I wanted the wacky waving
a flatable two men to come back and

707
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:04.000
they didn't. But the Loan Logan
Paul every time I watch him in a

708
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:08.719
poly two years. It's only been
two years since he debuted, and he

709
00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:13.920
just beat a thirteen time world champion
and a three time world champion in a

710
00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:16.159
match at WrestleMania. I mean,
the sky's the limit for the Logan Paul.

711
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:20.800
As long as he wants to be
a ww star, he could be

712
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:22.519
the person if they take the US
tun off him to have a magic cody

713
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:25.559
where the fans go, Yeah,
I don't know who's winning his match because

714
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.519
on paper, By rates to me
through the roof for that, because he'd

715
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:34.280
have his fan base plus the wrestling
fan base all buying in to watch that

716
00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:37.639
match. Yeah, you got to. You gotta respect what he's doing,

717
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:39.960
Logan Paul. I mean, he's
really become a good end ring performer and

718
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:43.360
he's proven he can hang with some
of the best, So you just have

719
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:45.159
to give respect to that. I
also want to mention as well. I

720
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:50.119
forgot to mention this in my thoughts
from rust many night too. I'm so

721
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:52.599
happy for Damian Priest. I mean, that guy deserves it. I mean

722
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:58.440
he took the pin in a really
good match at Backlash last year against a

723
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:02.000
musical performer, and then he got
rewarded with money in the bank and they

724
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:06.960
got rewarded with the Showcase at WrestleMania. So I'm very, very happy for

725
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.119
Damian Priests. That deserves it.
So not to mention a guy who trained

726
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:15.239
at the Monster Factory right down the
road got to win the World Championship in

727
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:20.840
Philadelphia. Just that was awesome.
And then once again a little bit of

728
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:23.199
you know, a little bit of
storytelling, Tian. They're like only the

729
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:27.000
second time somebody's cashed it at WrestleMania. Well, the guy who did it

730
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:30.679
first was the guy in that match, so it all ties there. I

731
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:31.760
learned tell my wife, I like, I was like, if wrestling was

732
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:35.480
a real thing, like you know, blah blah blah, I would only

733
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:37.480
like if I ever won by the
bank. Of course, you cashed into

734
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:39.239
wrestle Media. It's the biggest stage
to cash in on. So why would

735
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:44.360
it's weird that only two people have
ever done it? Yeah, it is.

736
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:46.679
It is very strange. So yo. So there's some of our thoughts

737
00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:52.760
from night too. WrestleMania prediction record
from Night two. I went five on

738
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:55.199
one. Doctor Trey went four and
two. I'm at thirty five and eight.

739
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:59.920
Doctor Trey's at thirty and thirteen.
Coming out of the very long Wrestling

740
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:05.400
weekend pay per view event ratings and
Match of the night. I gave WrestleMania

741
00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:07.639
Sunday a four point five out of
five and my match of the night was

742
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:12.599
Cody Roads and Roman Reign. Yeah. I actually had four point five also

743
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:15.239
and my match was Cody and Roman
because that was just just beautiful storytelling.

744
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:17.960
So, like I mentioned earlier,
Doctor Trey, you know, in my

745
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:22.760
discussion about like I was enjoying Steve
Austin the Austin Kevin Owens match from w

746
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:28.119
Resumani thirty eight. Here's what I'll
say. I feel like that there is

747
00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:31.719
a trilogy of great WrestleManias w Resumania
seventeen, eighteen and nineteen. My my

748
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:38.000
personal preference was really really good for
a three year stretch. I think thirty

749
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:44.880
eight, thirty nine and forty are
going to be looked at back as equally

750
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:51.119
as good as a trilogy for professional
wrestling. With that said, I think,

751
00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:54.119
and I'm looking back at my notes
here, I think I really enjoyed.

752
00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:57.800
If I had to put in that
order, I would say I enjoyed

753
00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:02.360
Wrestlemana thirty nine last year the most
out of the last three, WrestleMania thirty

754
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:07.679
eight as number two, and I
would put WrestleMania of forty as number three

755
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:09.719
out of those. And that's could
be a little controversial, but I think

756
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:15.000
when you compare the last three WrestleManias
thirty eight, thirty nine, and forty,

757
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:17.719
which to me historically may be looked
upon as the same way that I

758
00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:21.320
look at seventeen, eighteen and nineteen. I don't know if you feel the

759
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:23.960
same way Doctor Trey, I would
say thirty nine was the best, then

760
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:29.960
thirty eight, then forty from this
past weekend. Uh who did Roman wrestle

761
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:35.239
at thirty eight? He wrestled the
Brock for the title unification. Ye okay,

762
00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:37.920
so that's that's the weird thing about
so thirty eight. I really enjoyed

763
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:43.480
thirty eight because I thought the Seth
Cody match was good. That was also

764
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:47.960
when we got Ko and Austin.
You know so, but the main event

765
00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:52.039
match of Roman and Brock is kind
of a leaddown. But then when you

766
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:55.760
look at last your stuff, you
know that show, I argue, I

767
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.239
think it was one of the highest
ratios we've ever huvered in the hill history

768
00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:06.440
of our show, and this show's
right there with it. I'd probably go

769
00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:12.360
forty, thirty eight thirty nine in
what order? Is that? One two

770
00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:15.079
three or three two one? I'd
probably go forward like this one might and

771
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:19.159
love is also the good guys getting
the win, and we got the Rock

772
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:22.280
and the match on night one.
The baby Face gets to win on night

773
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:24.920
two. Uh cause if you think
about the last two years, the bad

774
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:30.159
guy has ended the show with the
win. So you liked forty better?

775
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:34.239
And the most you liked thirty eight
two years ago. Second, and you

776
00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:38.039
liked thirty nine as the third in
that one. Yeah, and I'm really

777
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:43.039
surprising, And it might just depend
on my mood for the day, I

778
00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:45.639
think right now, like after what
And a lot of it also is like

779
00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:46.480
you know, when you have a
little kid and you're trying to get your

780
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:51.320
little kid involved in wrestling. It's
like that when the good guy wins to

781
00:52:51.440 --> 00:52:53.079
end the show, and you know, you see all these I tell you,

782
00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:57.760
if you if you deep dive that
and go down that rabbit hole seeing

783
00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:01.079
these kids and their reactions to Cody
winning, it'll give you like almost like

784
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:05.199
a little bit of like your own
nostalgia from when you were a kid watching

785
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:09.679
Brett Harpy. Interesting. Yeah,
I mean I loved thirty nine because I

786
00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:13.920
thought, and I get your point
with the feel good story of it all,

787
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:15.480
But I love thirty nine because you
had Rhea and Charlotte, you had

788
00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:21.760
gone through and Drew and Seamus,
you had Sammy and Kevin and the USOS.

789
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:25.239
I mean those were some even rains
and roads, which is often forgotten

790
00:53:25.239 --> 00:53:30.840
because the result was a really good
match at thirty nine, Seth and logan

791
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:35.480
Paul at thirty nine was really good. Yeah, it's I don't know.

792
00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:38.239
I guess I could understand that the
plan on the emotions there. I think

793
00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:40.719
it kind of deppends like when you
go back and look at some of your

794
00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:45.480
favorite trilogies and then your favorite times
in wrestling. It also depends on where

795
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:47.519
you're at your life. Like for
us as older guys, we like watching

796
00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:52.360
the win or we like watching just
good competitive, hard hitting matches, and

797
00:53:52.440 --> 00:53:58.440
sometimes like a show like this.
I mean, there are so many storylines

798
00:53:58.440 --> 00:54:01.079
that were getting tied up and you
know, someone just bringing something other.

799
00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:04.760
One of the things, you know, as we're talking about Cody getting the

800
00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:07.159
show and getting lifted on his shoulders
and I think I told you off the

801
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:09.440
air last week. The one of
the things about Cody is he he has

802
00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:14.119
a lot of his favorite wrestlers combined
in his persona. He's got his dad.

803
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:17.280
The hair looks like Rick Flair a
little bit. The jacket is very

804
00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:22.760
reminiscent of Surfer Sting, which was
who grew up idolizing as well. And

805
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:27.400
when Sting first won the World Championship, they did the same thing as well.

806
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:29.760
They lift him up on the shoulders
while the good guys and I was

807
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:32.280
like, I've sitting there watching this
is yeah, like that was I forgot

808
00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:36.480
about Brett getting lifted up. I
was thinking of Sting getting lifted up when

809
00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:38.760
he finally defeated Flair for the title. Mm hmm, No, that's a

810
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:44.280
really good point. Yeah, I
can see that. I guess. The

811
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:47.639
last thing I want to mention since
we're talking about Cody is everybody's loving him

812
00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:52.800
across the board one hundred per everybody
is loving the story has been finished,

813
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:57.440
all that stuff. When do the
fans art turn in on Cody? Is

814
00:54:57.440 --> 00:55:00.800
that's what they do? How long
did it take for Seena to get turned

815
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:05.400
on? Well, what do we
do? They loved him at twenty one

816
00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:07.880
when he first was crowned as champion, By like twenty two they hated them,

817
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:12.480
so maybe like eight to twelve months. I think it depends like this.

818
00:55:12.480 --> 00:55:15.440
This is where you're gonna see the
difference between Triple H booking and Vince

819
00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:20.079
booking is how they book a babyface
champion, Because do you shove him down

820
00:55:20.199 --> 00:55:23.800
everybody's throats and put him out everywhere
or do you kind of space it out?

821
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:28.400
And if he spaced it out,
a little bit. It's less likely

822
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:31.679
for fans to revolt against him.
But if you shove him down Avery's throats

823
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:37.159
and he's on every single show,
which having the draft and having brand split

824
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:40.360
can help that a little bit,
because you remember those days of Seena,

825
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:43.599
Like he was on SmackDown, he
was on WRAW, he was on everything.

826
00:55:43.639 --> 00:55:45.880
He was everywhere at all times.
You couldn't get away from it.

827
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:50.320
He was in three segments a night, if you know, if we get

828
00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:52.400
that kind of booking, yeah,
the fans will turn on Cody. And

829
00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:58.320
I still think to this day Cody
is could be one of the best heels

830
00:55:58.360 --> 00:56:02.119
in the world because he dresses like
Rick Flair, like he acts like Rick

831
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:06.159
Flair. I've said before when he
when we were some of the aw stuff

832
00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:08.280
and even comwe there are times he
comes off to me kind of like a

833
00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:12.760
used car salesman. I've always said
that, and I hate I have said

834
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:15.920
that. I regret it I'd said
that, but yes, I agree with

835
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:20.320
you. There are moments like it's
like used car salesman slash lawyer can come

836
00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:23.480
off that way, and that tells
me he has the ability to play a

837
00:56:23.559 --> 00:56:27.440
great heel. So it kind of
depends on what they do with Seth.

838
00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:30.159
And you know when Seth, you
know, I don't think Steth been back

839
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:32.880
for like three or four months.
It's gonna be a little while before Seth

840
00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:36.199
comes back. You gotta let him
get healed up. They said he's out

841
00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:40.519
for four weeks right now. Is
the earliest thing what post draft, But

842
00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:44.079
once again, it kind of depends
on what the roster shake up is to.

843
00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:46.519
I think I think you run this
all the way, at least a

844
00:56:46.599 --> 00:56:50.960
baby phase, run for at least
a goods six to eight months. You

845
00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:52.639
know, Rock's a heavy gone for
a while, but when he comes back,

846
00:56:52.679 --> 00:56:55.280
he wants Cody, so he might
get Cody in the Rock. At

847
00:56:55.360 --> 00:57:00.679
some point, I think, yeah, so I think you got gage.

848
00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:04.840
I think you'll gauge the fans reaction
to Kobe by SummerSlam, and then you

849
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:07.519
can kind of see, hey,
this is our this is our building block,

850
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:10.599
this is our John Cena, this
is our guy. Or is this

851
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:15.719
another guy which can turn back and
forth and create good storylines just flipping him

852
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:17.960
yo baby face for a year or
two, heel for a year or two,

853
00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:21.800
back and forth. Let's talk about
the last thing I want to talk

854
00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:24.079
about here is Obviously this was a
banner weekend for World rest and Entertainment.

855
00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:30.960
There was a lot of talk about
the Renaissance era and WWEE is certainly trying

856
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:35.559
to push being the Paul Levec era
of professional wrestling, which I don't think

857
00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:38.039
he's comfortable with saying. I don't
think this is something that he is like,

858
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:42.000
Hey, you know, I want
this to be my era. But

859
00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:50.119
clearly WWWE and before we got on
the podcast here and I have not fully

860
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:52.400
digested it yet, but I did
get an opportunity to watch the all in

861
00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:57.119
footage from AW, and I've not
watched AW Dynamite tonight as we record this.

862
00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:00.880
That's the only thing I've seen,
and we'll only talking about on next

863
00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:05.239
week's show. But to me,
I feel like WI is really starting to

864
00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:09.599
pull away from all elite wrestling.
Like severely is a wrestling fan, and

865
00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:14.400
the things that would keep me from
from sticking and watching all elite wrestling are

866
00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:16.719
There's a ton of wrestlers that I
love over there, still, Will Osprey,

867
00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:22.119
Fdr Young Bucks, Moxley, what
have you. There's a ton of

868
00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:28.199
the guys and girls that I love
watching there, but it's it's just like

869
00:58:28.679 --> 00:58:34.159
it's Thank God for the competition the
aw provided because it pushed WA to get

870
00:58:34.199 --> 00:58:38.239
better. But this is something that
I think you and I have been expecting

871
00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:40.920
would happened at some point, Doctor
Trey, because of how much we enjoyed

872
00:58:42.039 --> 00:58:45.400
NXT in the mid twenty tens.
When Triple H is running it. This

873
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:49.960
should not be surprised to any fans
of how good WWI is right now.

874
00:58:50.440 --> 00:58:53.480
It is very entertaining. Maybe spread
out wrestling a weekend for like a two

875
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:59.280
week time period rather than like four
really hard days, but it's just it's

876
00:58:59.320 --> 00:59:00.960
some of the best stuff I've seen
in a long time, and I'm really

877
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:06.519
really happy as a wrestling fan right
now, a we fan watching it and

878
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:12.519
I'm enjoying it. I don't know
how people could say anything negative because the

879
00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:16.519
entering work, the creative, the
logic, it makes you think it's entertaining.

880
00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:22.280
It's good entering performances, everything talked
about them. The production has been

881
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:24.719
so much better. It just feels
like a whole brand new show. Almost.

882
00:59:25.119 --> 00:59:30.800
They took a victory lap, rightfully
they should. They are reportedly getting

883
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:36.039
away from the terminology of sports entertainment, going back to professional wrestling. I

884
00:59:36.039 --> 00:59:37.800
don't know it's just a really good
time to be a wrestling fan right now

885
00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:42.039
again, doctor try And we've said
that a lot over the years during the

886
00:59:42.079 --> 00:59:45.719
fourteen year history of SRTU, but
this is the one time where I really

887
00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:51.719
feel like this is a sustainable period
of time that can be really good because

888
00:59:51.719 --> 00:59:55.079
of who's leading the ship and clearly
a roster and the people who've been behind

889
00:59:55.119 --> 01:00:00.320
the scenes really respect and love the
leadership the Triple H is providing. Based

890
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:02.320
on the things that Paul Hammond said
during his speech and other people that you're

891
01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:07.480
seeing in media, how much fun
is wrestling right now? No, it's

892
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:12.400
I mean, dear god, we
close out that show with Michael Cole yelling

893
01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:17.480
out I fucking love professional wrestling.
That doesn't tell you what kind of era

894
01:00:17.639 --> 01:00:22.519
we're walking into right now, where
it's like, man, it's just it's

895
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:25.199
so good across the board. And
I know I get backed on for being

896
01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:28.960
you know, like I'm not an
AAW guy, but I mean the entering

897
01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:32.639
action AW is fantastic. Our knock
on it usually is okay, some of

898
01:00:32.639 --> 01:00:37.440
the storylines are lacking, or they
do dumb stuff that they don't need to

899
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:38.440
do, or what you know,
soups, you know, just dumb stuff

900
01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:43.599
they don't need to do for shock
value reasons or whatever. It's a little

901
01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:47.199
there are times it's a little russo, you know, w CW at two

902
01:00:47.239 --> 01:00:52.320
thousand at times. But in ring
work, you and I said here one

903
01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:58.639
time, it said there, the
AW roster has more depth than the WWE

904
01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:02.199
roster. There's more talent on the
AW roster than the WWE one. But

905
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:07.280
if you want great entering action,
there's a show for you. If you

906
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:09.719
want great old school I want to
say old school in this. You know,

907
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:16.280
Memphis Geo nwas but WW has great
entering action, storytelling, commedy,

908
01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:19.960
they have this Smorgasport. They have
a little bit of everything. If you

909
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:22.920
want to dig down to the independence
or some of the smaller shows, impact

910
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:28.039
of really solid show or Tncupertna is
really solid right now, the MLWS,

911
01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:32.599
the GCWS. There's just so much
good quality content across the board that there

912
01:01:32.719 --> 01:01:37.599
is something out there for everybody,
and it's you know, I remember you

913
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:43.239
and I doing this show seven years
ago and talking about us going into the

914
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:46.559
Golden Age of wrestling, that there
was more talent out there in pro wrestling

915
01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:51.360
than we had ever seen before,
and it took a little while to come

916
01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:55.119
to fruition. It took some pushing, some prodding, It took competition to

917
01:01:55.400 --> 01:02:01.199
really set that standard and put sit
that way. But I think we're finally

918
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:06.159
answering that age you and I were
talking about years and years ago where you're

919
01:02:06.199 --> 01:02:09.519
just like, there's you're almost like
to find nega stuff. You have to

920
01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:14.239
nitpick at times. You know,
it's it's like, no, just you

921
01:02:14.280 --> 01:02:16.840
know, just across the board,
there's something for everybody. And I don't

922
01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:20.639
think there's been a time in the
history of this show in fourteen years where

923
01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:23.239
we could say that, yeah,
it's a really really good time for professional

924
01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:29.480
wrestling. Just love everything that's going
on. Absolute props to WWE for a

925
01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:34.320
very fun and exhausting weekend of professional
wrestling. With that said, let's get

will both be on the show this
year, both returning to Wrestling Con,

so we're looking forward to that both. Go check out Spartan Championship Wrestling,

the other show I work with here
in Alabama, and most importantly, just

942
01:03:30.920 --> 01:03:32.239
like you I was saying you a
second ago, go check out your offo

943
01:03:32.280 --> 01:03:36.360
independent shows. Go find those guys. Go find your a town down Hunders,

944
01:03:36.400 --> 01:03:40.639
Go find your Oba Femis, go
find your you know, your Darby's,

945
01:03:40.679 --> 01:03:44.199
your your mjfs. Go find those
guys. Now before they hit the

946
01:03:44.199 --> 01:03:46.559
big time, and they basically just
priced themselves out of your range. Because

947
01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:51.639
thirty four million dollars to be made
over wrestling in a weekend. Guess what

948
01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:53.639
that means. Tickets are expensive for
those shows. Go find your local shows.

949
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:59.440
Gotta love inflation, folks, Gotta
love inflation. Fun weekend of professional

950
