jeremy: So let’s just get this out of the way. This is. Uh, mostly a a fameral podcast in

2
00:00:06,240 –> 00:00:10,400
jeremy: the sense that it’s it goes away. you know, we, we talk about the the current stuff

3
00:00:10,560 –> 00:00:15,840

4
00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:20,960
jeremy: thing right now is Uh, Will Smith smacking Uh Chris Rock in the face, which

5
00:00:21,280 –> 00:00:24,080
jeremy: immediately uh, reminded me of Uh, William reeel.

6
00:00:25,335 –> 00:00:26,335
matt: Yeah, well, bet,

7
00:00:27,360 –> 00:00:31,680
jeremy: Uh, except for I don’t know, Uh, William Regel was a little bit more controlled and

8
00:00:31,840 –> 00:00:37,520
jeremy: uh and deliberate in his actions, and he’s also in a uh situation where people are

9
00:00:37,920 –> 00:00:41,440
jeremy: expecting Um, such a uh, a slap at this point,

10
00:00:42,875 –> 00:00:46,875
matt: yeah, not what is supposed to be the classiest night in cinema,

11
00:00:50,075 –> 00:00:51,835
matt: The Met Galler movies there.

12
00:00:52,240 –> 00:00:58,080
jeremy: So I saw this crazy kind of like, uh, conspiracy theory, you know, and it in the

13
00:00:58,160 –> 00:01:02,880
jeremy: grand scheme of things of of some stuff that, uh, some r n ▁x t former rests,

14
00:01:03,040 –> 00:01:07,760
jeremy: believe, uh, it’s a very tame, but they’re like, Well, Wreslemany is in Hollywood

15
00:01:07,540 –> 00:01:08,540
jeremy: next year

16
00:01:10,320 –> 00:01:14,560
jeremy: And you know we got a we got. A, you know theyve they’ve already done Bad bunny.

17
00:01:14,720 –> 00:01:18,880
jeremy: They’ve got jackass this year. Like what? What better to have this year’s Oscar

18
00:01:19,120 –> 00:01:24,720
jeremy: winner. um, uh, and and Chris Rock, Uh, go with I, I don’t know. Let’s let’s say

19
00:01:25,120 –> 00:01:29,760
jeremy: Will Smith and Jae Pinket versus Chris Rock. and I don’t know Stephanie Gman. for

20
00:01:29,760 –> 00:01:31,280
jeremy: some stupid reason, So

21
00:01:32,955 –> 00:01:34,235
matt: It’ll probably be rousy.

22
00:01:34,020 –> 00:01:35,020
23
00:01:35,275 –> 00:01:36,875
matt: She was in one of those grown ups

24
00:01:36,740 –> 00:01:37,740
25
00:01:36,975 –> 00:01:37,975
matt: movies, wasn’t she?

26
00:01:38,320 –> 00:01:40,560
jeremy: oh, I, th. I think so. yeah,

27
00:01:40,075 –> 00:01:43,675
matt: I think very briefly, but I think she knows Kevin James.

28
00:01:43,460 –> 00:01:44,460
29
00:01:43,655 –> 00:01:44,655
30
00:01:45,220 –> 00:01:46,220
31
00:01:47,360 –> 00:01:51,760
jeremy: but that would make sense anyway. that’s uh. it’s a hell of way to start book the

32
00:01:52,240 –> 00:01:55,280
jeremy: Black Pool Combat club. I, I’m digging the name

33
00:01:57,515 –> 00:02:03,275
matt: I’m down with it. Uh, the internet does not seem um, terribly fond of it, which caught

34
00:02:03,355 –> 00:02:08,635
matt: me off guard. I. I kind of just assumed it’s William Regal, and and Mox and Danielson,

35
00:02:08,875 –> 00:02:13,115
matt: So they, they were in a boat where they could do no wrong. but it’s also twenty twenty

36
00:02:13,355 –> 00:02:16,635
matt: two. So you got to have half the internet bitching about everything.

37
00:02:17,200 –> 00:02:21,520
jeremy: in, you know, in the Multi verse what I would really love. and instead of Pete Dun

38
00:02:21,760 –> 00:02:26,240
jeremy: becoming Busch, I would have loved him to be because he’s from Blackpool. I would

39
00:02:26,400 –> 00:02:30,800
jeremy: love him to be in this Black Pool combat club. You know, I don’t even care if it’s

40
00:02:30,960 –> 00:02:35,680
jeremy: not even in this mul in Multi, versus not even in in the A W, That is like in w, w,

41
00:02:35,920 –> 00:02:39,520
jeremy: E, like that just would have been. I don’t know. been really cool.

42
00:02:40,180 –> 00:02:41,180
43
00:02:41,915 –> 00:02:48,075
matt: I, I actually would would think it fantastic if he would adopt Blackpool Butch as his

44
00:02:48,315 –> 00:02:53,115
matt: name, just as like a tongue in cheek like thing. you know, No to Regal,

45
00:02:52,740 –> 00:02:53,740
46
00:02:53,375 –> 00:02:54,375
47
00:02:54,815 –> 00:02:55,815
48
00:02:56,475 –> 00:03:00,795
matt: that was a. I’d say. It’s a big week in wrestling, but at the same time I can’t

49
00:03:01,035 –> 00:03:04,395
matt: remember a whole lot of it. Uh, what do you got any big hits from the week?

50
00:03:04,080 –> 00:03:08,080
jeremy: well, so I’ve watched all this stuff very recently, At at least the A W. stuff I. I

51
00:03:08,240 –> 00:03:12,080
jeremy: kind of watched yesterday and this morning, um, what sticks out to me is just

52
00:03:13,200 –> 00:03:17,440
jeremy: man. They’ve done a a great jobs with the Rickie Star great job with Ricky Sarks,

53
00:03:17,600 –> 00:03:21,760
jeremy: Not only that Ricky Stark has done a a good job himself like he’s taken that

54
00:03:21,920 –> 00:03:26,320
jeremy: opportunity and run with it. I think he. he called himself a Mr. Rampage at some

55
00:03:26,480 –> 00:03:30,400
jeremy: point, and like you know he, he kind of rule him and hook, kind of rule that that

56
00:03:30,560 –> 00:03:33,040
jeremy: show. a really distine Tas does all around

57
00:03:32,895 –> 00:03:33,895
58
00:03:33,680 –> 00:03:38,880
jeremy: all all across the board, but from you know, they did a great job putting that uh,

59
00:03:39,600 –> 00:03:41,360
jeremy: the uh. the rochhambo,

60
00:03:42,480 –> 00:03:47,520
jeremy: reversal from the lethal injection into his entrance video. I’ve noticed that, Uh,

61
00:03:47,680 –> 00:03:51,760
jeremy: and any time they sh, they like promote a match. Now they just show that clip and

62
00:03:51,920 –> 00:03:57,200
jeremy: it’s it’s perfectly executed and he’s just really good on the mike. He has a great

63
00:03:57,440 –> 00:04:03,760
jeremy: chemistry with Uh. Keith Lee, Which, uh, I don’t know. I loved it. Um. and we’ve got

64
00:04:03,380 –> 00:04:04,380
65
00:04:03,535 –> 00:04:04,535
matt: yeah, yeah.

66
00:04:04,080 –> 00:04:07,760
jeremy: great. The Keithlee looks like me out of this whole thing. Um,

67
00:04:08,800 –> 00:04:13,920
jeremy: and I just I really look that match with swerve. Uh, I think it was interesting that

68
00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:18,640
jeremy: they’ve kind of he’s got his last name back. but he’s still like they just dropped

69
00:04:18,880 –> 00:04:20,800
jeremy: Shanee from it. So which is

70
00:04:20,735 –> 00:04:21,735
71
00:04:21,200 –> 00:04:22,880
jeremy: which is fine. It’s it’s whatever.

72
00:04:24,080 –> 00:04:28,240
jeremy: Uh, but I loved that whole moment with Keith Lee just busting through the the

73
00:04:28,320 –> 00:04:34,960
jeremy: banner. they had. Uh, Well, one man football team. Um, what else did I? you know,

74
00:04:35,680 –> 00:04:40,720
jeremy: but I just like, I don’t know what their plan is kind of going forward with with

75
00:04:40,800 –> 00:04:42,400
jeremy: Ricky Starks, but he really is.

76
00:04:43,520 –> 00:04:48,320
jeremy: Um. you know, I like Brian Cage. I will say that, I’ll say that, but like

77
00:04:49,600 –> 00:04:54,320
jeremy: they’ve Ricky Starks has done an incredible job at for f t. w.

78
00:04:56,875 –> 00:05:02,315
matt: they. actually, I like that. Now that it’s tricky Stks. He defends it. I mean it’s

79
00:05:02,475 –> 00:05:06,635
matt: always in matches where like shady stuff can can make sure the belt stays with team

80
00:05:06,875 –> 00:05:12,875
matt: Ta. But um, even if it’s an an unrecognized title by the company, I do like that. it’s

81
00:05:12,955 –> 00:05:14,075
matt: on the line occasionally.

82
00:05:13,620 –> 00:05:14,620
83
00:05:15,280 –> 00:05:20,880
jeremy: I do like the Jay Lethel brought up the fact that Um, kind of switching gears a

84
00:05:20,880 –> 00:05:25,600
jeremy: little bit, Um to Adam Cole, So he did lose match to Adam Coolle. but he lost Uh,

85
00:05:25,840 –> 00:05:30,240
jeremy: kind of due to some cheating in involved. and I did like that. He brought that up.

86
00:05:30,320 –> 00:05:33,680
jeremy: It’s just like the. this is the only reason I lost. I have hear a pretty good great

87
00:05:34,080 –> 00:05:38,880
jeremy: win record, or I think essentially undefeated minus those two matches. Um,

88
00:05:40,260 –> 00:05:41,260
89
00:05:42,000 –> 00:05:46,080
jeremy: you know I, I like that they just didn’t ignore that like that. He’s actually using

90
00:05:46,240 –> 00:05:52,000
jeremy: that and he’s you know, potentially plotting some kind of revenge, but I. I. I hope

91
00:05:52,160 –> 00:05:57,520
jeremy: that a w in general doesn’t use the the cheating angle. Just too much kind of going

92
00:05:57,420 –> 00:05:58,420
93
00:05:59,515 –> 00:06:01,675
matt: Yeah, it. It’s it’s become

94
00:06:03,035 –> 00:06:10,475
matt: a a a bit of a thing, Uh, particularly in in instances with uh, tag teams, Um, where

95
00:06:10,555 –> 00:06:16,395
matt: they just seem to appear at ringside and cause a distraction. Um that it it get. It’s

96
00:06:16,475 –> 00:06:21,035
matt: getting overused a little bit. Um, so they. they could probably benefit from cooling

97
00:06:20,935 –> 00:06:21,935
matt: down on that.

98
00:06:21,920 –> 00:06:24,320
jeremy: And I think one way of kind of doing that is

99
00:06:25,140 –> 00:06:26,140
100
00:06:28,240 –> 00:06:30,480
jeremy: They. You know, they made a point to say there’s not. There is very many

101
00:06:30,800 –> 00:06:35,760
jeremy: disqualifications, very or so there very few disqualifications or very few countos

102
00:06:36,080 –> 00:06:39,280
jeremy: of those other types of winds that you do see a lot more in Ww.

103
00:06:40,320 –> 00:06:45,040
jeremy: but I think they could maybe find a way to pump the brakes on that by actually

104
00:06:45,280 –> 00:06:46,640
jeremy: utilizing that Um

105
00:06:46,735 –> 00:06:47,735
106
00:06:47,680 –> 00:06:52,400
jeremy: in the favor of the person that’s being cheated against. Um.

107
00:06:52,495 –> 00:06:53,495
108
00:06:52,980 –> 00:06:53,980
109
00:06:53,435 –> 00:06:59,835
matt: I mean it’s it’s a. It’s a solid tool for you know, heel face alignment, Um, strategy,

110
00:07:00,395 –> 00:07:04,875
matt: Um, So it’s It’s weird that they don’t use it more often. Uh, they always have to have

111
00:07:05,035 –> 00:07:10,315
matt: the distraction, so that there’s not a d, ▁q Um. and I’m I’m just as just as happy

112
00:07:10,555 –> 00:07:15,835
matt: with a a Deq finish here and there To at least that way. it’s kind of fresh like you

113
00:07:15,915 –> 00:07:19,275
matt: know, Flip a coin. This match is either going to have the distraction, and the the

114
00:07:19,355 –> 00:07:24,155
matt: heel gets the win or you know the Dq’s going to get, or they’re going to get caught

115
00:07:24,315 –> 00:07:28,155
matt: doing something. And they, you know the heel takes a loss here and there, Um,

116
00:07:27,620 –> 00:07:28,620
117
00:07:30,075 –> 00:07:35,675
matt: especially since the everybody that gets a title shot gets it through a fucking ladder

118
00:07:35,835 –> 00:07:41,515
matt: match anyway. So these rankings have gone out the window. Um, so it’s it. It’s one of

119
00:07:41,515 –> 00:07:46,715
matt: those where like just I, I understand, the rankings initially were a. A, you know to

120
00:07:46,795 –> 00:07:52,555
matt: legitimize who was getting the title shots and things like that. Um, and it got us a a

121
00:07:52,635 –> 00:07:58,395
matt: match with Dante Martin, which I, I. I loved That match was great. Um, but at the same

122
00:07:58,555 –> 00:08:02,155
matt: time like we’ve we’ve seen this over and over again that the guys getting the title

123
00:08:02,315 –> 00:08:08,235
matt: shots are the ones that win the six man ladder matches or the. Um. you know, the the

124
00:08:09,195 –> 00:08:15,915
matt: uh, casino battle royal, or, or shit like that. It’s It’s not as rankings focused as

125
00:08:16,155 –> 00:08:17,675
matt: it initially started out.

126
00:08:19,280 –> 00:08:23,840
jeremy: and some other good stuff that I really liked. I, Dostan Rose versus Lance Archer,

127
00:08:24,320 –> 00:08:29,360
jeremy: Just a surprisingly, this good match. Um, and we did get a roll of finish and again,

128
00:08:29,760 –> 00:08:35,600
jeremy: like our patron saying of this podcast Moose and Chris Sabin. I thought it was an

129
00:08:35,680 –> 00:08:39,600
jeremy: excellent use. It felt motivated and it felt like a legit surprise.

130
00:08:40,720 –> 00:08:42,400
jeremy: Uh, and well utilized.

131
00:08:43,300 –> 00:08:44,300
132
00:08:43,915 –> 00:08:47,995
matt: Yeah, yeah, I like the. I like that. He got the roll up win and then got the everlovn

133
00:08:47,975 –> 00:08:48,975
matt: shit beat out

134
00:08:48,420 –> 00:08:49,420
135
00:08:48,875 –> 00:08:54,395
matt: of him for it, too. Um. I, I would really like to see the two of them on the double or

136
00:08:54,555 –> 00:08:59,515
matt: nothing card in, you know, in a cage or or something, be cause they need the rubber

137
00:08:59,755 –> 00:09:00,795
matt: match now. Um,

138
00:09:02,235 –> 00:09:07,355
matt: And and I’ve I’ve said it before and I. I. It bears repeating that you know forty

139
00:09:07,995 –> 00:09:11,995
matt: years or whatever it is in this, Dustin still kicks ass.

140
00:09:11,620 –> 00:09:12,620
141
00:09:12,795 –> 00:09:17,915
matt: Um, I mean, I, you know, outside of the ring, I don’t. I. I’ve I’ve heard he’s not a

142
00:09:17,915 –> 00:09:23,115
matt: terribly pleasant human, but you know in the ring he he is. He is everything he says

143
00:09:22,895 –> 00:09:23,895
matt: he is.

144
00:09:24,080 –> 00:09:29,120
jeremy: is that recent cause? I? I, I hear. Yeah, when he was had a myriad of addiction

145
00:09:29,360 –> 00:09:33,200
jeremy: issues that he was. Yes, a very, very terrible person. but that now he actually

146
00:09:33,360 –> 00:09:36,880
jeremy: tried to act as a mentor and try to like make up for it. but maybe that’s

147
00:09:36,615 –> 00:09:37,615
matt: well, let’s

148
00:09:37,580 –> 00:09:38,580
jeremy: not recent.

149
00:09:37,915 –> 00:09:40,075
matt: hey. I mean that that’s that’s been like

150
00:09:39,700 –> 00:09:40,700
151
00:09:40,235 –> 00:09:45,755
matt: I, I can’t knock anybody for making enough for issues. So uh, that’s that’s good to

152
00:09:45,835 –> 00:09:47,995
matt: hear. I, I haven’t heard any of that, but um,

153
00:09:47,940 –> 00:09:48,940
154
00:09:48,555 –> 00:09:51,115
matt: you know it. it was. It was several years ago, so

155
00:09:51,280 –> 00:09:56,640
jeremy: yeah, yeah, he. He had some issues and and one of these things where it, that’s one

156
00:09:56,720 –> 00:10:01,600
jeremy: of the good things that kind of w. W does sometimes as they do to help. Uh, some of

157
00:10:01,600 –> 00:10:06,320
jeremy: the people that are struggling a lot. If they’re asking for help that, they kind of

158
00:10:06,400 –> 00:10:11,440
jeremy: go their way to to help them, and and not immediately fire them. So uh,

159
00:10:11,195 –> 00:10:12,795
matt: yeah, as as long as you’re not a

160
00:10:12,535 –> 00:10:13,535
161
00:10:12,580 –> 00:10:13,580
162
00:10:16,180 –> 00:10:17,180
163
00:10:17,840 –> 00:10:22,480
jeremy: what? what else? for a W? So there are some Uh, So we talked about what we liked.

164
00:10:22,880 –> 00:10:27,200
jeremy: There are a couple moments. You know, you mentioned the thunder Rosa, Vicky, gro,

165
00:10:27,440 –> 00:10:28,960
jeremy: Uh, interruption where

166
00:10:30,060 –> 00:10:31,060
jeremy: they mentioned

167
00:10:30,495 –> 00:10:31,495
168
00:10:30,880 –> 00:10:33,040
jeremy: green cards issues, fake green cards.

169
00:10:33,915 –> 00:10:39,595
matt: it. it felt weird to me that somebody not tied to Dan Lambert was out there making

170
00:10:40,155 –> 00:10:41,515
matt: fake green card jokes,

171
00:10:41,620 –> 00:10:42,620
172
00:10:42,315 –> 00:10:46,315
matt: Um, and infinitely more so from Vicky Gerrero,

173
00:10:46,420 –> 00:10:47,420
174
00:10:47,195 –> 00:10:50,715
matt: Um, whose husband was legitimately Mexican.

175
00:10:53,355 –> 00:10:56,715
matt: So it that that caught me off guard a little bit. Um.

176
00:10:57,995 –> 00:11:03,115
matt: it. It felt a little a little shitty that Thunder Rosa didn’t get an actual like

177
00:11:03,675 –> 00:11:09,515
matt: celebration moment. I mean, Brit Baker got the whole grandstand with the Big Max and

178
00:11:09,435 –> 00:11:15,755
matt: and the Chevanni interview and all that, Um, and then thunder, Rosa basically got

179
00:11:16,315 –> 00:11:22,635
matt: accused of being an illegal and the ship beat out of her. So I, I thought it was that

180
00:11:22,875 –> 00:11:29,435
matt: that was an an odd choice. Um, and weird that we’re going back to the Nyilla Rosewell,

181
00:11:29,995 –> 00:11:35,035
matt: Um, I don’t understand why every champion has to immediately defend against Nilla,

182
00:11:34,820 –> 00:11:35,820
183
00:11:35,755 –> 00:11:36,955
matt: but um, you know

184
00:11:37,535 –> 00:11:38,535
185
00:11:39,360 –> 00:11:44,560
jeremy: I mean, at this point ▁, let’s let’s do. I don’t know. Uh, like why not just do a

186
00:11:44,640 –> 00:11:47,760
jeremy: gauntlet of all the champions at this point Like you got.

187
00:11:47,375 –> 00:11:48,375
188
00:11:48,080 –> 00:11:50,160
jeremy: you got to fight. Uh, reho,

189
00:11:51,420 –> 00:11:52,420
jeremy: uh, Nila,

190
00:11:53,520 –> 00:11:55,600
jeremy: Shea, and then Brit Baker again. I guess

191
00:11:56,955 –> 00:12:00,395
matt: I mean if if somebody was going to come out and interrupt her during her her

192
00:12:00,715 –> 00:12:06,075
matt: celebration moment, At this point, going back to rankings, it should have been S. you

193
00:12:06,075 –> 00:12:12,075
matt: know, Serena deeb, Um, cause, uh, she’s got to be number two or number three. Like at

194
00:12:12,235 –> 00:12:13,835
matt: the very worst, Um,

195
00:12:15,035 –> 00:12:19,195
matt: so I, I, I would have. I would have liked that. At least it was a little bit of a a

196
00:12:19,275 –> 00:12:22,795
matt: new blood situation in the the title picture. Um,

197
00:12:24,155 –> 00:12:28,635
matt: and, and not just going right back to the. Oh you, your a new title holder. Well,

198
00:12:27,780 –> 00:12:28,780
jeremy: yeah, right,

199
00:12:28,875 –> 00:12:32,555
matt: here’s the native beast so that you can share what you can do. We know what thunder

200
00:12:32,715 –> 00:12:34,155
matt: Rosa can do. We’ve seen it.

201
00:12:34,260 –> 00:12:35,260
jeremy: yeah, two

202
00:12:34,735 –> 00:12:35,735
203
00:12:35,280 –> 00:12:37,120
jeremy: nilar rose. We know exactly what

204
00:12:36,735 –> 00:12:37,735
205
00:12:37,260 –> 00:12:38,260
jeremy: they can do. Um,

206
00:12:38,095 –> 00:12:39,095
207
00:12:38,960 –> 00:12:44,560
jeremy: but that you, you mentioned Uh, one of our favorite names on this podcast. Uh, when

208
00:12:44,800 –> 00:12:48,800
jeremy: you were mentioning Bigg G, just now, Uh, Mr. Dan Lambert,

209
00:12:50,320 –> 00:12:53,440
jeremy: he, just, he justes everywhere now like not only is he

210
00:12:53,135 –> 00:12:54,135
211
00:12:53,520 –> 00:12:57,120
jeremy: just like he’s not just with a men of the year. he justs randomly with Landce

212
00:12:57,360 –> 00:12:58,800
jeremy: Archercause. I guess Jake

213
00:12:58,655 –> 00:12:59,655
214
00:12:58,960 –> 00:13:02,320
jeremy: didn’t show up this week like I don’t. I don’t understand it.

215
00:13:01,835 –> 00:13:07,115
matt: I that it. This has been like a. a a thing. Dan Lambert was behind him. That’s what

216
00:13:07,275 –> 00:13:08,395
matt: got him that title shot,

217
00:13:07,940 –> 00:13:08,940
218
00:13:09,195 –> 00:13:15,675
matt: Um, I. I. It’s inexplicable to me, The The Dan Lambert it. It’s like he planet. He’s

219
00:13:15,755 –> 00:13:19,035
matt: a. He’s a fucking cancer and he is. He is just

220
00:13:20,075 –> 00:13:23,595
matt: cells have duplicated throughout this company and he’s just with everybody

221
00:13:23,380 –> 00:13:24,380
222
00:13:24,155 –> 00:13:29,835
matt: now. Like I like I told you yesterday, like page. Van’s aunt is a legitimate bad ass.

223
00:13:30,555 –> 00:13:35,195
matt: Um, but she’s just going to be presented as another Dan Lambert puppet, which means

224
00:13:35,355 –> 00:13:37,355
matt: she doesn’t get to win. Um,

225
00:13:38,955 –> 00:13:44,635
matt: I, I, I don’t know, I don’t. I don’t know. I don’t know why why he still gets to be

226
00:13:44,875 –> 00:13:50,475
matt: involved in all of this. I do appreciate that he. he spits off random. Uh, wrestling

227
00:13:50,715 –> 00:13:56,475
matt: history, Um, he’s clearly a historian, but that’s for a podcast with Cornette that is

228
00:13:56,635 –> 00:14:02,635
matt: not for television every week. Um, my issue. My primary issue with Dan Lambert is the

229
00:14:02,715 –> 00:14:07,995
matt: issue I still have with Cm Punk And it’s just way too much T v time for one person

230
00:14:08,795 –> 00:14:15,755
matt: with a rosterths inflated. So it’s pump. the bras. Use Dan Lambert like every other

231
00:14:15,995 –> 00:14:22,155
matt: week Like that’s fine. that’s fine. Um, we’ve as much as you’re probably paying, Punk.

232
00:14:22,315 –> 00:14:26,475
matt: We’ve He’s got to get the T V time every every crowd has paid.

233
00:14:27,595 –> 00:14:31,275
matt: You know, let’s just assume seventy percent of the people that bought tickets bought

234
00:14:31,435 –> 00:14:35,675
matt: tickets because punk is on the card. Um, even if he’s just going to come out and talk

235
00:14:35,835 –> 00:14:41,035
matt: for a while, Uh, I understand using punk as much as you do right now. Uh, keep ticket

236
00:14:38,620 –> 00:14:39,620
jeremy: yeah, right.

237
00:14:41,195 –> 00:14:44,635
matt: sales up and whatnot? But uh, Dan Lambert does not bring that to the

238
00:14:44,715 –> 00:14:47,035
matt: table. Um, so I, I don’t get it.

239
00:14:49,280 –> 00:14:50,800
jeremy: yeah, so yeah, we had that. We have the.

240
00:14:51,920 –> 00:14:52,960
jeremy: I don’t know. I,

241
00:14:53,300 –> 00:14:54,300
jeremy: I think

242
00:14:54,480 –> 00:14:56,640
jeremy: I honestly didn’t watch it. I know it was.

243
00:14:58,000 –> 00:15:03,520
jeremy: It was widely panned. The Sammy Gavora take tati, Um,

244
00:15:04,560 –> 00:15:08,960
jeremy: and I like both of those as individual wrestlers. I just I don’t need them on screen

245
00:15:09,140 –> 00:15:10,140
jeremy: together. They can

246
00:15:10,055 –> 00:15:11,055
matt: Yeah, putting

247
00:15:10,160 –> 00:15:11,760
jeremy: Sa. that for their flog, you know,

248
00:15:13,675 –> 00:15:19,675
matt: putting them together, and and and using this if they think that Sammy’s still a face

249
00:15:20,075 –> 00:15:25,675
matt: at this point, they’re sorely mistaken because he has become borderline and tolerable.

250
00:15:26,235 –> 00:15:30,555
matt: Um. so thank you for putting him on screen with Dan Lambert, because it makes it so

251
00:15:30,635 –> 00:15:32,155
matt: much easier. fast forward,

252
00:15:31,860 –> 00:15:32,860
253
00:15:32,795 –> 00:15:38,875
matt: Um through through twenty minutes of the show. Um, yeah, I, I. I don’t. I don’t know.

254
00:15:39,035 –> 00:15:42,395
matt: There’s there’s some weird, some weird choices going on Um

255
00:15:43,835 –> 00:15:50,555
matt: around there, so I’m I’m curious to. I’m I’m hopeful that once Ring of Honor gets back

256
00:15:50,715 –> 00:15:57,275
matt: up and going that like the roster can kind of branch out and we can get shows that

257
00:15:57,355 –> 00:16:03,995
matt: aren’t aren’t. I mean the The Dan Lambert and the The Sammy Takti thing it. it’s it’s

258
00:16:03,895 –> 00:16:04,895
matt: w, w

259
00:16:04,420 –> 00:16:05,420
260
00:16:05,435 –> 00:16:11,195
matt: like it. It is their creative like to a te. um, So I don’t know who in the office

261
00:16:11,675 –> 00:16:16,635
matt: brought this to Tony Con, If he came up with it himself or what, but it. I,

262
00:16:17,680 –> 00:16:20,320
jeremy: well and then also this unfortunately brings uh

263
00:16:21,600 –> 00:16:26,800
jeremy: to M to my memory. the um. you know, the violation of that that page had with her

264
00:16:27,200 –> 00:16:30,960
jeremy: with, like you know, intimate photos stolen of her. Um,

265
00:16:30,815 –> 00:16:31,815
266
00:16:31,440 –> 00:16:36,640
jeremy: and it’s just like very unfortunate. Um, you know, and obviously this is like they

267
00:16:36,800 –> 00:16:42,000
jeremy: purposely put this out here there. but like I don’t know, being naked with belts and

268
00:16:42,080 –> 00:16:47,280
jeremy: stuff, Uh, and maybe they were going for more the Sean Michael’s vibe, uh than the

269
00:16:46,980 –> 00:16:47,980
270
00:16:48,560 –> 00:16:53,520
jeremy: than reminding that, But it’s just it’s it. obviously that the Page incident is

271
00:16:53,760 –> 00:16:54,880
jeremy: definitely more more recent.

272
00:16:55,855 –> 00:16:56,855
273
00:16:55,940 –> 00:16:56,940
274
00:16:56,715 –> 00:17:02,075
matt: I. it’s it’s along those. The. there’s a fine line

275
00:17:03,595 –> 00:17:06,635
matt: with with wrestling, especially after all the me two shit.

276
00:17:06,180 –> 00:17:07,180
277
00:17:06,975 –> 00:17:07,975
278
00:17:09,195 –> 00:17:13,835
matt: I mean is, is this still wrestling or are we moving back to Bron Panny’s matches?

279
00:17:14,075 –> 00:17:18,475
matt: Should we just bring Jerry Lawller in to do commentary again? Kind of shit. And

280
00:17:18,020 –> 00:17:19,020
281
00:17:18,555 –> 00:17:21,915
matt: this, this felt like it was on the wrong side of that line. Um,

282
00:17:23,120 –> 00:17:26,080
jeremy: so let’s see. Let less of this. I’m hoping, but I’m I’m sure.

283
00:17:25,695 –> 00:17:26,695
284
00:17:26,480 –> 00:17:30,720
jeremy: like we, just you, like you mentioned. Uh, like it’s going to be Um, seventy five

285
00:17:30,800 –> 00:17:34,560
jeremy: percent Dan Lambert on this next episode The D dynamite. uh,

289
00:17:42,135 –> 00:17:43,135
matt: Oh great,

290
00:17:44,560 –> 00:17:48,160
jeremy: yeah, it’s just a double or double, or Lambert is what we’re going to have.

00:17:48,400 –> 00:17:50,400
jeremy: Eventually you’re coming soon. Um,

292
00:17:50,955 –> 00:17:51,995
matt: might as well just

293
00:17:51,620 –> 00:17:52,620
294
00:17:52,155 –> 00:17:54,475

jeremy: Well, let’s see what do we have coming up.

298
00:18:03,280 –> 00:18:08,000
jeremy: Has there actually been any major Um changes to the Wresmania car? Any major

299
00:18:08,175 –> 00:18:09,175
matt: No, no,

300
00:18:08,400 –> 00:18:09,840
jeremy: developments? Yeah,

301
00:18:10,635 –> 00:18:16,395
matt: um, we basically had this shit set in stone three four weeks ago and both shows have

302
00:18:16,475 –> 00:18:20,635
matt: felt like theyre treading water. Um, God bless both

303
00:18:21,755 –> 00:18:27,355
matt: Charlotte Fllaire and Brock Lesner because they are trying their fucking hardest. Uh

304
00:18:27,595 –> 00:18:32,395
matt: here lately, Um, I know you. You aren’t a fan of Brock Lesner, He just doesn’t do it

305
00:18:32,475 –> 00:18:37,755
matt: for you, which is entirely understandable, Um, but he is. He is putting in an awful

306
00:18:37,915 –> 00:18:43,275
matt: lot of legwork to try and make the eight hundredth match in this feud. Um.

307
00:18:44,075 –> 00:18:45,355
matt: Interesting, um,

308
00:18:47,035 –> 00:18:50,875
matt: I don’t know how this is the biggest Wrestlemania match of all time. We’ve had this

309
00:18:51,035 –> 00:18:56,875
matt: match of three other Essalmanias. Um, but yeah, no, we are. We are on the road to

311
00:19:03,035 –> 00:19:08,555
matt: big show. So uh, I pulled up the card and I figured we would just uh, just shoot

312
00:19:08,535 –> 00:19:09,535
matt: through it and

313
00:19:08,820 –> 00:19:09,820
314
00:19:09,355 –> 00:19:14,235
matt: see if we could uh, tramp, predict this damn thing quickly. Uh, because there’s

315
00:19:14,715 –> 00:19:18,875
matt: there’s an awful lot of it, and yet not enough to justify two days

316
00:19:18,820 –> 00:19:19,820
317
00:19:19,275 –> 00:19:24,875
matt: to the point where the Andre and the Interner Continental championship are on the

318
00:19:25,035 –> 00:19:27,835
matt: Smackdown before Wrestlemania. Um,

319
00:19:27,200 –> 00:19:31,600
jeremy: it’s kind. It’s also kind of crazy, too, just like, logistically like if you and me

320
00:19:31,500 –> 00:19:32,500
jeremy: were going

321
00:19:33,200 –> 00:19:38,560
jeremy: to to this mania and we’re going to both nights just getting in and out of that

322
00:19:38,720 –> 00:19:43,520
jeremy: stadium. unless you’re just walking distance. like at a hotel, walking distance from

323
00:19:43,600 –> 00:19:46,720
jeremy: that stadium. I just can’t imagine like just the

324
00:19:47,055 –> 00:19:48,055
325
00:19:47,680 –> 00:19:49,600
jeremy: the craziness. So anyway,

326
00:19:49,515 –> 00:19:54,235
matt: and I, I feel I don’t feel like there was a whole lot of lodging option in Arlington.

327
00:19:54,575 –> 00:19:55,575
328
00:19:56,235 –> 00:20:00,555
matt: So if if you’re fortunate enough to be at the one Lakino that you can walk to from

329
00:20:00,575 –> 00:20:01,575
matt: that stadium,

330
00:20:02,715 –> 00:20:09,355
matt: more power to y. But we have night one of Wrestmania, which will consist of Becky

331
00:20:09,515 –> 00:20:13,435
matt: ▁lynch, versus Bianca Bell, Air for the Raw Women’s Championship.

332
00:20:14,020 –> 00:20:15,020
333
00:20:16,480 –> 00:20:21,120
jeremy: I’m going to go to go with Biana here That she’s going to going to going to take

334
00:20:21,360 –> 00:20:26,640
jeremy: this and is going to make up for this whole Um summer slam issue from several months

335
00:20:26,380 –> 00:20:27,380
336
00:20:28,315 –> 00:20:33,275
matt: I’m in. I’m going to lean the other way on this one. Um. I think that everybody’ is

337
00:20:33,355 –> 00:20:37,595
matt: going to imagine this as Bianca getting yet another wreslemania

338
00:20:37,460 –> 00:20:38,460
339
00:20:37,755 –> 00:20:42,395
matt: moment. Um, and I don’t see back to back moments for

340
00:20:43,675 –> 00:20:45,275
matt: for anybody. really, Um,

341
00:20:45,920 –> 00:20:49,440
jeremy: That is true. like that last wing. A moment felt like it was five years ago, but

342
00:20:49,440 –> 00:20:51,120
jeremy: that was just last year. so

343
00:20:52,315 –> 00:20:56,395
matt: Yeah, I mean, I like. I. I can’t even recall if John Sina ever got back to back

344
00:20:56,415 –> 00:20:57,415
345
00:20:57,060 –> 00:20:58,060
346
00:20:57,435 –> 00:21:02,315
matt: moments. So, O, other than the Undertaker, and we’re not treading Undertaker water

347
00:21:02,100 –> 00:21:03,100
348
00:21:02,635 –> 00:21:05,035
matt: here yet, so uh, we will have.

349
00:21:06,175 –> 00:21:07,175
350
00:21:08,155 –> 00:21:14,475
matt: oh, man, Night one is just bogged down with garbage, Drew Macintre versus Happy Corbt.

351
00:21:16,000 –> 00:21:21,120
jeremy: um, I’m going to say that who I would like to win. I would like to Macintyre, but I,

352
00:21:21,520 –> 00:21:24,640
jeremy: what I’m going to suggest is going to happen is happy Corman is going to win

353
00:21:25,840 –> 00:21:27,600
jeremy: just because Vince likes them.

354
00:21:28,875 –> 00:21:31,515
matt: He does. It’s inexplicable, but he does.

355
00:21:32,555 –> 00:21:37,515
matt: then we will move into our cele. our first celebrity match for the card.

356
00:21:38,795 –> 00:21:41,195
matt: The Miz teams with the Internets

357
00:21:42,395 –> 00:21:47,195
matt: probably top ten pieces of shit, Logan, Paul, uh, taking on the Mysteros.

358
00:21:47,760 –> 00:21:49,920
jeremy: I do want to know who the rest of the your to ten

359
00:21:51,520 –> 00:21:54,960
jeremy: if if he’s in there. I mean, I’m sure it’s going a pretty despicable list, but

360
00:21:56,000 –> 00:21:58,800
jeremy: I’m going to please. God, let it be the Mysteros,

361
00:22:00,875 –> 00:22:05,195
matt: Yeah, I, I mean the it feels like they’ve shoved a rocket up little Dominic ass, even

362
00:22:05,275 –> 00:22:08,235
matt: though he needed to spend two years in N. ▁x t. Um,

363
00:22:09,535 –> 00:22:10,535
matt: but uh yeah, I,

364
00:22:11,515 –> 00:22:16,475
matt: Vince does like to push the the celebrities, but I, I’m going to lean towards the

365
00:22:16,475 –> 00:22:20,075
matt: Mysteros here, because I think Johnny Knoxville gets a win on Night

366
00:22:20,315 –> 00:22:25,995
matt: two. Um, so I, I think I think he gets the celebrity win this time. Um,

367
00:22:20,320 –> 00:22:21,920
jeremy: Yeah, yeah, me too. I got that too

368
00:22:27,375 –> 00:22:28,375
369
00:22:29,115 –> 00:22:31,275
matt: it, No, it doesn’t hurt the Miz to eat losses at

370
00:22:31,300 –> 00:22:32,300
371
00:22:31,355 –> 00:22:38,635
matt: Westmania, So uh, we have a smackown tag team championship match That feels like it’s

372
00:22:38,715 –> 00:22:43,995
matt: come out of nowhere. Uh, former intercontinental championjinsky Nakamura and Rick

373
00:22:44,155 –> 00:22:45,995
matt: Boogs will challenge the Usos.

374
00:22:47,840 –> 00:22:52,160
jeremy: I am excited about a whole boogs moment at at Wsmania,

375
00:22:54,720 –> 00:22:56,320
jeremy: but the Uos are winning.

376
00:22:57,940 –> 00:22:58,940
jeremy: still. I think

377
00:22:58,315 –> 00:23:02,795
matt: I. I’m actually I’m going to lean the other direction. I think this is going to be the

378
00:23:02,955 –> 00:23:06,075
matt: start of a big Rick Boogs push. Um,

379
00:23:07,275 –> 00:23:13,995
matt: I almost anticipate Rickbugs and Shinsky parting ways and Rick Boogs teaming up with

380
00:23:13,935 –> 00:23:14,935
381
00:23:14,820 –> 00:23:15,820
382
00:23:15,515 –> 00:23:22,475
matt: very very soon, because that would be electric. Um, so I’m I’m going to lean. I’m

383
00:23:22,555 –> 00:23:27,675
matt: going to lean the other direction and get a belt on boogs here. Um, because they’ve

384
00:23:27,755 –> 00:23:31,995
matt: got to have a belt that they can lose to to lead to that breakup. Um,

385
00:23:33,675 –> 00:23:39,275
matt: we will move on one of the matches that I’m most excited about Edge versus a ▁j.

386
00:23:39,135 –> 00:23:40,135
387
00:23:42,080 –> 00:23:45,680
jeremy: I’m I think I’m going going to go with Edge winning here, but I think it’s going to

388
00:23:45,760 –> 00:23:49,040
jeremy: be one of the best work grade matches in this.

389
00:23:50,160 –> 00:23:52,000
jeremy: Am I using that word right? I don’t know

390
00:23:53,835 –> 00:23:55,755
matt: Has a ▁j. Styles won

391
00:23:56,795 –> 00:23:58,475
matt: a match at Wstalmania

392
00:24:01,700 –> 00:24:02,700
jeremy: he didn’t.

393
00:24:02,235 –> 00:24:04,395
matt: Oh, he, he, and almost won last

394
00:24:04,260 –> 00:24:05,260
jeremy: Oh, okay,

395
00:24:04,555 –> 00:24:10,875
matt: year, but it was mostly just the omot show. Um. But has he won a singles match at

396
00:24:10,815 –> 00:24:11,815
397
00:24:12,715 –> 00:24:16,395
matt: because he came in like hott as hell, and then lost to Jericho.

398
00:24:15,940 –> 00:24:16,940
jeremy: yeah, yeah.

399
00:24:17,835 –> 00:24:21,675
matt: Like, and I, I can’t recall if he’s actually won one. He,

400
00:24:21,420 –> 00:24:22,420
jeremy: did. Did did Shane win?

401
00:24:25,995 –> 00:24:30,715
matt: I, I can’t remember. I, I feel like he might have, Um. it’s

402
00:24:32,395 –> 00:24:38,475
matt: I. I, just he’s got a real questionable Wrestmania record, Um, but I wouldn’t mind

403
00:24:38,715 –> 00:24:43,115
matt: seeing him get a big win here. Uh, but I’m I think Edge is going to get

404
00:24:42,820 –> 00:24:43,820
jeremy: Yeah, yeah,

405
00:24:43,275 –> 00:24:48,875
matt: it Uh, on route to being the the the guy that challenges to get Ralls belt back when

406
00:24:48,895 –> 00:24:49,895
matt: Roman wins.

407
00:24:49,300 –> 00:24:50,300
408
00:24:51,835 –> 00:24:57,035
matt: Oh, rightdy our other women’s championship match, Charlotte Fllaire taking on

409
00:24:58,715 –> 00:25:00,955
matt: personality House Plant. Ronda, Rosy.

410
00:25:01,700 –> 00:25:02,700
411
00:25:05,440 –> 00:25:11,280
jeremy: you know like it’s normally a safe bet for Charlotfer to win and she’s been carrying

412
00:25:11,520 –> 00:25:13,280
jeremy: this whole thing the entire time,

413
00:25:13,135 –> 00:25:14,135
414
00:25:13,920 –> 00:25:20,960
jeremy: but I’m going to go with like the swerve Wrestlemania Rod rosi, uh win. here

415
00:25:22,795 –> 00:25:24,955
matt: yeah, I, I think we’re going to get a A.

416
00:25:25,995 –> 00:25:28,875
matt: As if this was the Sasha Bank’s match. I think Charlotte

417
00:25:28,500 –> 00:25:29,500
418
00:25:29,035 –> 00:25:34,235
matt: drops the belt and immediately takes it back on Smackdown. Um, so that Rhonda gets her

419
00:25:34,235 –> 00:25:39,515
matt: Wresmania moment and they could use it in fucking promos going forward. Uh, but

420
00:25:38,480 –> 00:25:42,240
jeremy: she gets. She goes on the today show and stuff like that, which Charlotte’s been

421
00:25:41,855 –> 00:25:42,855
422
00:25:42,320 –> 00:25:45,040
jeremy: on several times at this point, So

423
00:25:44,475 –> 00:25:47,195
matt: yeah, she gets to go back on e. s. p. N. and

424
00:25:46,900 –> 00:25:47,900
425
00:25:47,355 –> 00:25:51,675
matt: and shit like that for a week and then the belt goes back to Charlotte, so that she’s

426
00:25:51,995 –> 00:25:54,635
matt: what are the three hundred and eighty seventh time women’s

427
00:25:54,580 –> 00:25:55,580
428
00:25:54,795 –> 00:26:00,795
matt: champion At this point, Um, with Stone Cold appearing on the Ko show it’s it’s It’s

429
00:26:00,955 –> 00:26:05,755
matt: just going to be Uh, stone Cold stunner in the living, shit out a k. O.

430
00:26:05,300 –> 00:26:06,300
431
00:26:06,155 –> 00:26:10,075
matt: I feel like. Um. this. I don’t think this becomes a match.

432
00:26:10,260 –> 00:26:11,260
433
00:26:10,715 –> 00:26:16,075
matt: Uh, if this does become a match, they tee it up here and the match happens at Summer

434
00:26:16,095 –> 00:26:17,095
435
00:26:16,420 –> 00:26:17,420
436
00:26:17,135 –> 00:26:18,135
437
00:26:19,115 –> 00:26:22,795
matt: but yeah, I, I don’t see. anyway. In hell, this is an actual match at this point.

438
00:26:22,480 –> 00:26:26,240
jeremy: I. I do think it might be a little bit more athletic than just just like a a

439
00:26:26,320 –> 00:26:30,240
jeremy: stunner, and maybe a couple couple of punches throw own. I think we might get like a

440
00:26:30,160 –> 00:26:35,680
jeremy: a luthz press. Um. kind of something a little bit more more athletic and some

441
00:26:35,295 –> 00:26:36,295
442
00:26:35,840 –> 00:26:40,800
jeremy: colds in in great shape right now. Um, but yeah, I still would like to not see it

443
00:26:41,040 –> 00:26:46,640
jeremy: ever be a actual match. Just like you know, He throws a a few punches. The stunner

444
00:26:46,880 –> 00:26:49,680
jeremy: Luthers press shows. He still got it moves on.

445
00:26:52,455 –> 00:26:53,455
matt: oh, right,

446
00:26:54,475 –> 00:26:58,475
matt: Arcab will open up night two defending the Uh

447
00:27:00,155 –> 00:27:04,235
matt: tacting championship in a triple threat match against the street Profiets and Alpha

448
00:27:04,215 –> 00:27:05,215
449
00:27:06,800 –> 00:27:07,920
jeremy: Um, you know,

450
00:27:09,440 –> 00:27:14,160
jeremy: I think might be Alpha Academy’s time. I do feel like Arca Bro is going to have some

451
00:27:14,320 –> 00:27:16,320
jeremy: kind of fracture here. Um,

452
00:27:16,735 –> 00:27:17,735
453
00:27:17,280 –> 00:27:21,520
jeremy: but I think a a kind of Alpha Academy might be able to capitalize on this and and

454
00:27:21,460 –> 00:27:22,460
jeremy: get a win here

455
00:27:22,895 –> 00:27:23,895
456
00:27:23,260 –> 00:27:24,260
jeremy: in the chaos.

457
00:27:23,755 –> 00:27:29,755
matt: they’ve theyve in in the the the most subtle way ever. Chad Gable’s been getting the

458
00:27:29,835 –> 00:27:31,115
matt: push we’ve wanted for years,

459
00:27:30,740 –> 00:27:31,740
460
00:27:32,075 –> 00:27:37,355
matt: so I, I agree with you, There. We move into our Sammyzanne versus Johnny Knoxville

461
00:27:37,515 –> 00:27:42,475
matt: Anything goes match, but both of us have already predicted Johnny Knoxville, Pat.

462
00:27:41,440 –> 00:27:45,520
jeremy: man, I’m just wondering. Okay, So how crazy is this? Anything goes match? Because I,

463
00:27:45,440 –> 00:27:50,400
jeremy: I just keep on pituring that that uh, that uh container thing with like the, what

464
00:27:50,640 –> 00:27:54,800
jeremy: was like scorpions or something coming down the thing in in jackass forever or

465
00:27:54,940 –> 00:27:55,940
jeremy: various things.

466
00:27:56,880 –> 00:28:00,000
jeremy: Uh, and I’m just thinking is like, Is there some kind of apparatus like that

467
00:27:59,940 –> 00:28:00,940
468
00:28:01,755 –> 00:28:07,195
matt: I. I. I. it’s Johnny Knoxvill, so I don’t know how we get through this match without a

469
00:28:07,195 –> 00:28:08,315
matt: buwl getting involved.

470
00:28:08,180 –> 00:28:09,180
jeremy: Yeah, Yeah,

471
00:28:08,655 –> 00:28:09,655
472
00:28:10,715 –> 00:28:15,115
matt: so yeah, this. it’s going to be nuts. Uh, I think this could secretly be the the best

473
00:28:15,355 –> 00:28:21,275
matt: match on the card, Um, in terms of both entertainment value and just it’ll It’ll be

474
00:28:21,355 –> 00:28:25,515
matt: like Bad Bunny putting in the effort. Um, that puts it over, and I think Johnny

475
00:28:25,595 –> 00:28:31,435
matt: Knoxville is is gonna go to. at least give it as all. Um, we have Smackdown

476
00:28:31,595 –> 00:28:34,555
matt: commentator Pat Macvey taking on

477
00:28:35,915 –> 00:28:39,275
matt: Austin theory in the the most weird

478
00:28:40,615 –> 00:28:41,615
479
00:28:42,235 –> 00:28:43,595
matt: I can recall in a whileil.

480
00:28:44,495 –> 00:28:45,495
481
00:28:47,015 –> 00:28:48,015
matt: Austin theory,

482
00:28:49,035 –> 00:28:55,755
matt: Uh, Mcman gave Pat Mcaffy this match and then put him against his protege. and

483
00:28:55,740 –> 00:28:56,740
jeremy: you want to match

484
00:28:56,555 –> 00:29:00,395
matt: Th it it’s It’s just been the weirdest thing. Um,

485
00:29:01,435 –> 00:29:05,435
matt: I think I, I think Vince still sees Mcaffy as like a celebrity

486
00:29:05,460 –> 00:29:06,460
487
00:29:05,675 –> 00:29:07,195
matt: participant, even though he’s not.

488
00:29:08,395 –> 00:29:14,955
matt: He’s on T. V every week. Um, he wrestled twice in N. ▁x, t. uh. it’s I don’t think

489
00:29:15,035 –> 00:29:20,955
matt: it’s the novelty that Vince sees it as Um. but I do think Pat Mcffe gets a win here.

490
00:29:20,580 –> 00:29:21,580
491
00:29:21,135 –> 00:29:22,135
492
00:29:22,795 –> 00:29:26,155
matt: to further this break between Vince and Austin Theory.

493
00:29:25,920 –> 00:29:28,800
jeremy: I do think it’ll be entertaining. I don’t. I don’t

494
00:29:28,655 –> 00:29:29,655
matt: Yeah, I mean,

495
00:29:28,880 –> 00:29:32,320
jeremy: think I don’t think I’ll be bored by this match at all, but it’s uh. it would be

496
00:29:32,400 –> 00:29:37,120
jeremy: nice if it was like better built up like the The Mcaffe Coldal match. Um,

497
00:29:36,735 –> 00:29:37,735
498
00:29:37,700 –> 00:29:38,700
jeremy: but you know

499
00:29:39,680 –> 00:29:43,440
jeremy: it’s just like the fact that Mcma just like offers like Hey, do you want to match

500
00:29:43,460 –> 00:29:44,460
501
00:29:45,600 –> 00:29:49,440
jeremy: on his podcast It. it just seems very weird so

502
00:29:49,055 –> 00:29:50,055
503
00:29:50,875 –> 00:29:56,795
matt: uh. the women’s tag team championship will feature champions ▁queenselina and Carmla,

504
00:29:57,035 –> 00:30:00,395
matt: taking on Naomi and Sasha Banks, Rea Riple and Live Morer,

505
00:30:01,435 –> 00:30:04,715
matt: and Natalia and Shana Basler in a fatal Fourway.

506
00:30:06,580 –> 00:30:07,580
jeremy: man, I don’t know.

507
00:30:09,355 –> 00:30:13,115
matt: I, I feel like there’s no way Live Morgan doesn’t get a wrestmania

508
00:30:12,900 –> 00:30:13,900
509
00:30:13,355 –> 00:30:17,115
matt: moment now, the way they built her up, going into the rumble and then just took a

510
00:30:17,215 –> 00:30:18,215
matt: steamy shit on

511
00:30:17,700 –> 00:30:18,700
512
00:30:17,975 –> 00:30:18,975
matt: her. Um,

513
00:30:20,075 –> 00:30:25,355
matt: like I feel like it’s gotta be rea ripleated live Morgan at this point, Um. after the

514
00:30:25,595 –> 00:30:31,915
matt: the debacle with Given Charlotte Rea’s n ▁x t title, Um, And and what they did to live

515
00:30:32,155 –> 00:30:35,195
matt: earlier this year already like it’s got to be them,

516
00:30:34,980 –> 00:30:35,980
517
00:30:36,795 –> 00:30:42,155
matt: Uh, the big one. Well, we’ll uh, we’ll dabble in some of these um

518
00:30:43,615 –> 00:30:44,615
519
00:30:45,835 –> 00:30:51,675
matt: Cody Rhodes versus Seth Rawins, I still don’t think this match happens. I think Cody

520
00:30:51,835 –> 00:30:57,195
matt: Rhodes is is working everybody as hard as possible, and he’s not actually going back

521
00:30:57,275 –> 00:30:59,195
matt: to w. w, e. um,

522
00:31:00,555 –> 00:31:05,915
matt: I don’t I. I, just I. I don’t know how you could after the the sledge hammer to the

523
00:31:05,855 –> 00:31:06,855
matt: throne, and

524
00:31:08,555 –> 00:31:12,475
matt: like all of the shit that he talked for two year, two plus years,

525
00:31:13,515 –> 00:31:19,915
matt: Uh to just go, go right back feels so strange to me. but all signs point to this match

526
00:31:20,155 –> 00:31:22,315
matt: actually taking place. So what do you think?

527
00:31:23,700 –> 00:31:24,700
jeremy: you know.

528
00:31:25,360 –> 00:31:29,680
jeremy: If this, if this happens, and I, I do believe that it’s going to Cody Roads is is

529
00:31:29,840 –> 00:31:34,400
jeremy: getting the wind here going to make Ros look like a champ, which they’ve been doing

530
00:31:34,640 –> 00:31:37,120
jeremy: this whole billd. So why stop it, man?

531
00:31:37,615 –> 00:31:38,615
532
00:31:38,180 –> 00:31:39,180
533
00:31:39,115 –> 00:31:43,995
matt: uh, I, I think I, I’m with you. I think that it’s uh. it’s going to be if if it does

534
00:31:44,235 –> 00:31:50,155
matt: happen, Uh, Cody will be the first to challenge Roman for the Universal belt. Um,

535
00:31:51,195 –> 00:31:56,075
matt: coming out of this win, I think it if Roman takes both belts because they’ve said

536
00:31:56,155 –> 00:31:57,515
matt: they’re not unifying them,

537
00:31:57,540 –> 00:31:58,540
538
00:31:57,835 –> 00:32:01,755
matt: it’s just going to be one champion with two belts. so I think Edge is going to be as

539
00:32:01,915 –> 00:32:06,555
matt: his challenger on Raw after an a ▁j style win. And then we’re going to get Uh,

540
00:32:07,115 –> 00:32:13,595
matt: American Nightmare versus Uh, Tribal Chief, which I, hell, I’m all for. Um,

541
00:32:14,000 –> 00:32:18,960
jeremy: I just think you know, Unfortunately, Cody, at least and I I’d let to be wrong, but

542
00:32:18,960 –> 00:32:22,000
jeremy: I feel like he’s going to be an afterthought by the time you get the summer slam.

543
00:32:23,115 –> 00:32:28,795
matt: Yeah, oh yeah, hella, it’ll He’ll get the. He’ll get the title shot at Backlash, Um.

544
00:32:29,115 –> 00:32:32,075
matt: and that, like most Backlash competitors, they just

545
00:32:32,900 –> 00:32:33,900
jeremy: Yeah, yeah,

546
00:32:33,175 –> 00:32:34,175
matt: they’re gone.

547
00:32:34,540 –> 00:32:35,540
jeremy: he’ll He’ll have the.

548
00:32:35,215 –> 00:32:36,215
549
00:32:35,600 –> 00:32:40,720
jeremy: He’ll have the match against Uh, Corbin at Uh at Summerr Slam, which will be on the

550
00:32:40,500 –> 00:32:41,500
jeremy: pre show.

551
00:32:41,695 –> 00:32:42,695
552
00:32:41,860 –> 00:32:42,860
553
00:32:42,315 –> 00:32:47,915
matt: he’ll lose. Um. All right, the big one. I’ve already been pretty vocal about. Uh, my

554
00:32:48,075 –> 00:32:53,035
matt: pick here. Uh, Roman Reins versus Brock Lesner in the stupendous

555
00:32:54,155 –> 00:33:01,115
matt: largest wreslomania match of all time, This match is bigger than Hulk slamming Andrea.

556
00:33:01,435 –> 00:33:08,155
matt: Apparently, this match is bigger than Hall, Michael’s ladder match. this match is

557
00:33:08,235 –> 00:33:11,755
matt: bigger than Ho Hogan, ▁ultimate warrior, uh

558
00:33:12,655 –> 00:33:13,655
559
00:33:14,315 –> 00:33:18,395
matt: I, it’s just a. It’s a big, big fucking claim for something that’s

560
00:33:18,020 –> 00:33:19,020
561
00:33:18,555 –> 00:33:19,675
matt: going to last eight minutes.

562
00:33:20,640 –> 00:33:23,760
jeremy: or any of the rock? Uh, stone cold outings. Really,

563
00:33:25,435 –> 00:33:27,755
matt: This is. this is bigger than Rock Hogan.

564
00:33:27,940 –> 00:33:28,940
565
00:33:28,095 –> 00:33:29,095
566
00:33:31,035 –> 00:33:33,195
matt: oh man. I just uh.

567
00:33:32,720 –> 00:33:36,800
jeremy: I mean, I think ▁ultimately. Roman has to win it. That’s my,

568
00:33:36,575 –> 00:33:37,575
569
00:33:37,200 –> 00:33:41,440
jeremy: my whole whole thing like that’s. That’s what they’ve been trying to use Brock for

570
00:33:41,520 –> 00:33:44,880
jeremy: all these years, And then they’ve always just pulled back the last minute, and just

571
00:33:44,960 –> 00:33:49,760
jeremy: like had Brock win. Uh, and just for that that time where we went to Wrestlingman

572
00:33:50,160 –> 00:33:54,240
jeremy: Thirty Four and walked out of that place defeated. I would like to see Roman win.

573
00:33:54,420 –> 00:33:55,420
574
00:33:54,735 –> 00:33:55,735
575
00:33:55,840 –> 00:34:00,080
jeremy: Just you know, although you know with his character you could make the argument went

576
00:34:00,160 –> 00:34:02,640
jeremy: for Brock, Brock Lesner winning now. But

577
00:34:04,320 –> 00:34:09,440
jeremy: ▁ultimately, that’s the torch passing moment that needs to happen, Um to to Roman

578
00:34:09,220 –> 00:34:10,220
579
00:34:11,115 –> 00:34:17,355
matt: yeah. I. I completely agree. Um, and I, You know as as much fun as Brock seems like

580
00:34:17,435 –> 00:34:21,995
matt: he’s having in this. You got to get him off Tv before he gets burnt out. Otherwise

581
00:34:22,075 –> 00:34:24,555
matt: it’s going to go back to everything. It’s always been.

582
00:34:24,340 –> 00:34:25,340
583
00:34:25,195 –> 00:34:31,675
matt: Um, so I? Yeah, you got to put the belt on Roman, um. Roman. Is he’s in shape enough

584
00:34:32,235 –> 00:34:36,235
matt: to to handle the workload of both shows. both belts

585
00:34:37,435 –> 00:34:43,835
matt: defending both regularly. Um, I think it. I. I think it behoves them if they’re going

586
00:34:43,915 –> 00:34:48,875
matt: to if they’re going to finally. Just like, give him the keys to the fucking kingdom.

587
00:34:48,660 –> 00:34:49,660
588
00:34:49,015 –> 00:34:50,015
matt: Do it?

589
00:34:51,280 –> 00:34:56,960
jeremy: Well, I think uh, that’s a pretty comprehensive thing. and I, you know, I was

590
00:34:57,120 –> 00:35:00,320
jeremy: actually wondering like I’m going to watch Wrestlemania, but I mean, I, I guess I

591
00:35:00,400 –> 00:35:05,360
jeremy: technically have the time and why not? I guess so I’ll watch it.

592
00:35:05,195 –> 00:35:06,715
matt: I know I’m watching night, too.

593
00:35:06,420 –> 00:35:07,420
594
00:35:06,955 –> 00:35:12,235
matt: I can’t make any promises about night one. Um, I’ll I’ll I’ll fast forward to the end

595
00:35:12,395 –> 00:35:17,595
matt: and see what happens with stone cold. That’s about well, Edg in a ▁j’s night one, so I

00:35:17,675 –> 00:35:19,435

597
00:35:18,400 –> 00:35:22,160
jeremy: yeah, Ill. I’ll put it on. I’ll probably be doing some other things possibly, but
