10
00:00:41,627 –> 00:00:47,067
matt: outside of a W, you had to show this weekend And there’s a decent chance that we paid

11
00:00:47,227 –> 00:00:49,147
matt: for your pay per view event. Um,

12
00:00:49,807 –> 00:00:50,807
13
00:00:52,027 –> 00:00:57,147
matt: too much to cover. Uh, without this thing running six and a half hours like a day of

14
00:00:56,960 –> 00:00:59,360
jeremy: we. Yeah, we justli split it into two nights,

15
00:00:57,127 –> 00:00:58,127
16
00:01:01,067 –> 00:01:06,507
matt: so let’s let’s just hit this the easy way. Gim me. Give me your your three highs from

17
00:01:06,747 –> 00:01:08,347
matt: Uh from Wstlemania weekend,

18
00:01:08,960 –> 00:01:14,320
jeremy: man. So to the first one I’m still going in chronological order. Um, I am

19
00:01:15,360 –> 00:01:22,320
jeremy: going to go with Joe in some O, Joe in uh, Ring of Honor, Um, and subsequently

20
00:01:22,640 –> 00:01:27,840
jeremy: appearing on Dynam Dynamite, I’m going to group those two together. Uh, but you know

21
00:01:28,160 –> 00:01:30,000
jeremy: honestly, I’ forgotten long enough

22
00:01:30,980 –> 00:01:31,980
23
00:01:33,120 –> 00:01:37,840
jeremy: that he was on the table for potentially you know being someone cool, and there had

24
00:01:37,920 –> 00:01:42,720
jeremy: been rumors beforehand that there was going to be something big at the end of the

25
00:01:42,880 –> 00:01:48,480
jeremy: supercd, so I was kind of excited about that, Um. but I, I just didn’t peg Somemo

26
00:01:48,720 –> 00:01:53,200
jeremy: Joe being being one of them. Um, honestly would have been less surprised if Somemojo

27
00:01:53,440 –> 00:01:57,680
jeremy: somehow showed back up as a commentator, like on N ▁x t, or something more than

28
00:01:58,080 –> 00:02:01,360
jeremy: actually being an active wrestler again. Um, but he’s in the

29
00:02:01,387 –> 00:02:03,547
matt: but he’s not to mark tournament.

30
00:02:01,440 –> 00:02:06,640
jeremy: Owen Heart tournament. He’s going to be. He qualified for the tournament. Um, so it

31
00:02:06,420 –> 00:02:07,420
jeremy: wouldd be interesting

32
00:02:06,847 –> 00:02:07,847
33
00:02:07,360 –> 00:02:09,040
jeremy: to see how kind of where they go from there

34
00:02:09,980 –> 00:02:10,980
jeremy: and then

35
00:02:10,727 –> 00:02:11,727
matt: and then

36
00:02:11,360 –> 00:02:13,120
jeremy: Uh, nextxon, W

37
00:02:13,147 –> 00:02:18,747

38
00:02:13,280 –> 00:02:17,920
jeremy: will just basically do one one per night, so there’s no way I’m not going to pick

00:02:18,240 –> 00:02:23,360
jeremy: Stone Cold Steve Austin, Uh, showing up at the end of Wrestlemania and having what

matt: stoneful Sea

41
00:02:23,467 –> 00:02:27,387
matt: happen, but attention might be at the time of A of being in

42
00:02:23,760 –> 00:02:27,840
jeremy: potentially might be his retirement match and it being damn good and entertaining.

43
00:02:28,300 –> 00:02:29,300
jeremy: And you know,

44
00:02:29,227 –> 00:02:30,587

00:08:25,760 –> 00:08:30,080
jeremy: And unlike Undertaker, we know there’s no way that triple is going to go back on

160
00:08:29,980 –> 00:08:30,980
jeremy: that, so

161
00:08:31,387 –> 00:08:36,027
matt: Yeah, this is’. Uh. the doctors told me that I can’t and in seven years I will

162
00:08:36,187 –> 00:08:37,227
matt: suddenly re emerge,

163
00:08:37,060 –> 00:08:38,060
164
00:08:37,787 –> 00:08:43,707
matt: Um, in the in the title hunt, Um, this is a. My heart will explode if I try to run the

165
00:08:43,460 –> 00:08:44,460
166
00:08:43,707 –> 00:08:48,507
matt: ropes again, so yeah, there’s There’s not really a stint that can fix that.

167
00:08:48,340 –> 00:08:49,340
168
00:08:48,687 –> 00:08:49,687
169
00:08:50,587 –> 00:08:55,547
matt: All right we hit the three highs. Give me the three loavs cause they were numerous and

170
00:08:55,567 –> 00:08:56,567
171
00:08:57,707 –> 00:09:01,147
matt: the the three worst parts of the weekend can’t be that hard to pick out.

172
00:09:00,900 –> 00:09:01,900
173
00:09:03,220 –> 00:09:04,220
174
00:09:05,280 –> 00:09:11,280
jeremy: you know, Hm, the worst ones. So the one of the things I was going to say is one of

175
00:09:11,280 –> 00:09:14,880
jeremy: the worst things, but it’s almost kind of the best because it gave me a lot of

176
00:09:15,120 –> 00:09:20,640
jeremy: enjoyment. Is that that the worst stunner of all the time? But then, seeing like

177
00:09:21,760 –> 00:09:25,600
jeremy: just knowing how much I laughed about it and then also seeing like Mc Folley’s

178
00:09:25,680 –> 00:09:30,960
jeremy: reaction video that they did, Uh, where I don’t think I’ve ever seen a man laugh

179
00:09:31,200 –> 00:09:36,080
jeremy: that hard, Uh at taking it. it’s uh. It almost could be in the best category. I’m

180
00:09:36,160 –> 00:09:38,080
jeremy: not entirely sure. Um, you know,

181
00:09:39,120 –> 00:09:45,200
jeremy: uh, so I, I’ll say we’re talking about production, Will will say, man, way too many.

182
00:09:46,480 –> 00:09:50,640
jeremy: Um. video packages like replaying the same video package over and over

183
00:09:50,287 –> 00:09:51,287
184
00:09:50,880 –> 00:09:55,200
jeremy: again. No, like no backstage segments, which apparently they had a bunch of legends.

185
00:09:55,440 –> 00:09:59,040
jeremy: Um there just for whatever reason, Um,

186
00:10:00,640 –> 00:10:03,280
jeremy: you know there was an opportunity there. Instead of. they just played a video

187
00:10:03,520 –> 00:10:08,160
jeremy: package over and over again. I get that they do play those. those because for you

188
00:10:08,240 –> 00:10:13,680
jeremy: know, we we take care of friend. Uh, we’ve taken our friend Steven Woodley, Um, you

189
00:10:13,680 –> 00:10:17,600
jeremy: know going to to call out his last name and everything, so you can kind of look them

190
00:10:17,420 –> 00:10:18,420
jeremy: up. um,

191
00:10:18,767 –> 00:10:19,767
192
00:10:19,060 –> 00:10:20,060
193
00:10:19,467 –> 00:10:21,227
matt: let me pull up his address right quick.

194
00:10:21,540 –> 00:10:22,540
195
00:10:23,360 –> 00:10:28,480
jeremy: you know, we’ve taken him before and I know for non wrestling fans, Uh, my wife and

196
00:10:28,640 –> 00:10:34,800
jeremy: stuff as well. Um, they’re very helpful. Um, for those people in attendance to, to

197
00:10:35,200 –> 00:10:37,200
jeremy: you know, enjoy it, but

198
00:10:38,320 –> 00:10:41,520
jeremy: man, they could have just done so much more, especially be cause they just replayed

199
00:10:41,420 –> 00:10:42,420
jeremy: several of them.

200
00:10:43,227 –> 00:10:50,267
matt: Yeah, uh, the, the, The video package for Brock Roman, If it played once over the

201
00:10:50,267 –> 00:10:53,147
matt: weekend, it played three hundred and fifteen times, Um,

202
00:10:52,980 –> 00:10:53,980
203
00:10:53,947 –> 00:10:58,907
matt: at least twice both nights of the kick off show. It played two or three times

204
00:10:59,147 –> 00:11:04,507
matt: throughout Saturday, Um. to the point where it, they had to bump a match. Uh, because

205
00:11:04,667 –> 00:11:05,867
matt: they ate up so much time.

206
00:11:05,540 –> 00:11:06,540
207
00:11:06,187 –> 00:11:11,707
matt: I thought it was. I thought it was a little weird, too. Um. The video packages during

208
00:11:11,927 –> 00:11:12,927
matt: stand and deliver

209
00:11:13,867 –> 00:11:18,507
matt: were just those random vineynettes that they do for for wrestlers,

210
00:11:18,500 –> 00:11:19,500
211
00:11:19,147 –> 00:11:23,067
matt: Um, they didn’t. they didn’t. Really, show a whole lot of the the match

212
00:11:23,300 –> 00:11:24,300
jeremy: that is true.

213
00:11:23,307 –> 00:11:27,467
matt: builds. Uh, probably because half of them didn’t really have a whole lot of build

214
00:11:27,707 –> 00:11:33,627
matt: anyway, But like anybody that that watched standard deliver, I meancause that it, it

215
00:11:33,627 –> 00:11:38,187
matt: was a commitment to get through all of this stuff this weekend. Um. but I, I feel like

216
00:11:38,347 –> 00:11:42,347
matt: N ▁x T is still in that point where anybody that watched stand and deliver, they

217
00:11:42,347 –> 00:11:44,667
matt: weren’t just a casual fan, Um,

218
00:11:45,707 –> 00:11:51,387
matt: they knew who the the hell Nikita lion was, Um. They, they didn’t didn’t need the

219
00:11:51,467 –> 00:11:56,027
matt: vinetes, and it, it seemed it seemed weirdly disjointed Um, the way they were doing

220
00:11:56,267 –> 00:12:01,147
matt: that on standard deliver, and they still played the The Brock, and let the Broock,

221
00:12:01,387 –> 00:12:04,907
matt: Lesner Roman raise package D stand and deliver, too.

222
00:12:04,820 –> 00:12:05,820
223
00:12:05,307 –> 00:12:08,987
matt: So it it it was they. They wasted a lot of time, Um

224
00:12:10,187 –> 00:12:14,907
matt: on on video packages, Uh, while, while production, if productions aren’t going to be

225
00:12:14,987 –> 00:12:17,147
matt: our number one, I also need to know

226
00:12:18,507 –> 00:12:22,827
matt: what the fuck was with the production on multi vers of matches, Um,

227
00:12:24,107 –> 00:12:28,027
matt: there were. there were like four different promotions represented and you couldn’t get

228
00:12:28,107 –> 00:12:34,427
matt: a fucking h. D camera in there. Um. somebody was filming that with a a Sony handicap,

229
00:12:35,227 –> 00:12:40,667
matt: Um, or they may have had my my laptop Webcam just spun the other way, Um,

230
00:12:41,787 –> 00:12:42,827
matt: everything was blurry

231
00:12:42,000 –> 00:12:44,400
jeremy: I would like to see that like someone carrying it around.

232
00:12:45,627 –> 00:12:49,867
matt: like everything was blurry. I, there couldn’t have been more than two hundred people

233
00:12:50,107 –> 00:12:51,147
matt: in there. Um.

234
00:12:52,347 –> 00:12:58,267
matt: Impact has like they have seen substantial growth in the last couple of years. I mean,

235
00:12:58,507 –> 00:13:04,747
matt: just from Ken Oega coming over. Um. I’d I’d like to know where the hell the production

236
00:13:04,987 –> 00:13:10,347
matt: value was on this. Considering this is, I mean Th. Yeah, they’ve got their their own

237
00:13:11,147 –> 00:13:16,907
matt: major payper views, just like a W does a couple of times a year, But I mean this was

238
00:13:16,987 –> 00:13:23,467
matt: a. This was a big deal. This was the impact flag in the in the ground. We are the the

239
00:13:23,707 –> 00:13:29,227
matt: purveyors of the Forbidden door. Um. And that it. It just felt like the half asked it.

240
00:13:29,440 –> 00:13:34,800
jeremy: Yeah, you know, Speaking of Anx C, too, Uh, also the schedule of standing delivered

241
00:13:35,040 –> 00:13:38,080
jeremy: doing it like during the day in front of Wrestmania.

242
00:13:39,600 –> 00:13:41,360
jeremy: Not a fan of that be cause. it’s just like.

243
00:13:42,960 –> 00:13:48,880
jeremy: Yeah, it’s just bad. And and it, you know it was otherwise a good show. but honestly

244
00:13:49,120 –> 00:13:53,840
jeremy: like with so much Wrestle man, without any kind of buffer there. I, I remember. Ring

245
00:13:54,000 –> 00:13:58,960
jeremy: of Honor I don’t remember. I don’t even remember watching Nx. T. uh, which, now I’m

246
00:13:59,040 –> 00:14:03,280
jeremy: thinking about it is like all they had some pretty great entrances. They had some

247
00:14:03,360 –> 00:14:08,160
jeremy: good matches on the show. but for me starting at, I think it was like starting at

248
00:14:08,240 –> 00:14:12,560
jeremy: ten a M made mine Beend nine. It’s just like I don’t want to watch wrestling in the

249
00:14:12,560 –> 00:14:16,320
jeremy: morning unless it’s like I’m catching up because I’m watching something from the

250
00:14:16,320 –> 00:14:20,640
jeremy: previous night, but like if it’s like Live At Nine M. it’s just weird, which I know

251
00:14:20,800 –> 00:14:23,360
jeremy: that’s also like New Japan sometimes, but you know

252
00:14:24,020 –> 00:14:25,020
253
00:14:24,427 –> 00:14:29,547
matt: Yeah, it it. you know it. I equate it to. It’s like when I I wake up and the only time

254
00:14:29,627 –> 00:14:33,387
matt: I do it is when they do the uh, the The English open at Saint

255
00:14:33,540 –> 00:14:34,540
256
00:14:33,547 –> 00:14:38,747
matt: Andrew’s Um. and that, there’s like a six hour time difference, so I have to wake up

257
00:14:38,827 –> 00:14:40,747
matt: at five a M. to watch them te off.

258
00:14:40,740 –> 00:14:41,740
259
00:14:40,847 –> 00:14:41,847
260
00:14:40,847 –> 00:14:41,847
261
00:14:42,427 –> 00:14:48,107
matt: but uh, yeah, I don’t. I don’t know. I. I still feel like they put way too much into

262
00:14:48,987 –> 00:14:54,107
matt: the hall of fame ceremony, considering it’s something that could be on on a a

263
00:14:54,007 –> 00:14:55,007
matt: different night.

264
00:14:54,380 –> 00:14:55,380
265
00:14:55,167 –> 00:14:56,167
266
00:14:57,147 –> 00:15:01,387
matt: but they, they sort of pigeon hole themselves with the two night wresmania. Because

267
00:15:01,707 –> 00:15:03,227
matt: you’ve still got smackd down on

268
00:15:03,060 –> 00:15:04,060
269
00:15:03,307 –> 00:15:07,467
matt: Friday and raw on Monday. Where the hell? I mean? the I? I can’t.

270
00:15:06,080 –> 00:15:08,720
jeremy: Thursday is the only way you could put it. I think really.

271
00:15:08,527 –> 00:15:09,527
272
00:15:09,060 –> 00:15:10,060
273
00:15:09,647 –> 00:15:10,647
274
00:15:12,987 –> 00:15:16,587
matt: there’s not really any anything you can do on Wednesday. I was going to say, just

275
00:15:16,747 –> 00:15:20,907
matt: start the week on Tuesday and do your damn n ▁x t paper view on Tuesday night.

276
00:15:20,820 –> 00:15:21,820
277
00:15:21,627 –> 00:15:26,987
matt: Um, you have to work out some kind of deal where you know U. S A gets a pay per view,

278
00:15:27,547 –> 00:15:29,867
matt: but um, I don’t think they’d have a problem with it.

279
00:15:29,540 –> 00:15:30,540
280
00:15:30,027 –> 00:15:32,027
matt: Uh, peacock might, but um,

281
00:15:33,227 –> 00:15:39,227
matt: yeah, it. that was. you know. I I hated that whole afternoon thing I do. I will give

282
00:15:39,307 –> 00:15:44,427
matt: them one one presentation. prop, Uh, that clear barricade was amazing,

283
00:15:44,220 –> 00:15:45,220
284
00:15:45,467 –> 00:15:50,587
matt: Um, I love it. It made it feel like the crowd was actually a part of things. Whereas

285
00:15:50,907 –> 00:15:57,787
matt: you know the the four foot tall, um eight inch deep padded wall sort of separates it.

286
00:15:58,187 –> 00:16:03,067
matt: I. I really liked the Uh, the clear Plxy, Glo class where you could see the crowd Um,

287
00:16:03,307 –> 00:16:07,387
matt: in their entirety. It it. it felt like it added something for me. I enjoyed that.

288
00:16:06,900 –> 00:16:07,900
289
00:16:08,480 –> 00:16:13,440
jeremy: um, man, I just had a a thought about what else I, you know, and then you know I, I

290
00:16:13,440 –> 00:16:16,480
jeremy: would say there. there are some matches that were on the card. I’m just going to

291
00:16:16,560 –> 00:16:20,560
jeremy: lump them together that we knew we were going to be bad ahead of time and they, they

292
00:16:20,800 –> 00:16:28,880
jeremy: delivered on being bad, uh, almost and lashly bad. Uh. The unfortunately, that new

293
00:16:29,040 –> 00:16:34,480
jeremy: day, um, rich Holland shamous match, which we knew was going to be short, Um, which

294
00:16:34,560 –> 00:16:39,680
jeremy: they just shuffled around as well, not good. Um, not that I don’t think they can

295
00:16:39,760 –> 00:16:43,040
jeremy: give you a good match. They just had an impossible position. Um,

296
00:16:42,847 –> 00:16:43,847
297
00:16:43,440 –> 00:16:47,440
jeremy: and there’ just a handful of other ones that. like honestly, this point I’ve I’ve

298
00:16:47,520 –> 00:16:52,000
jeremy: kind of forgotten about. It’s unfortunate. What happened to Uh, Rick Boogs? uh, I

299
00:16:52,160 –> 00:16:58,000
jeremy: hope he. He recovers. and and well, uh, I didn’t miss it live. I did miss it live

300
00:16:58,240 –> 00:17:03,680
jeremy: and I was definitely not motivated to go back and watch it so yeah, yeah,

301
00:17:02,347 –> 00:17:06,827
matt: it it was. it was norly, I mean you, even with the knee pad on you could see

302
00:17:07,867 –> 00:17:09,147
matt: things shift. it was

303
00:17:08,820 –> 00:17:09,820
304
00:17:09,387 –> 00:17:14,187
matt: it was bad. Um, So wishing him a speedy recovery, Uh,

305
00:17:15,307 –> 00:17:19,627
matt: you know as much as I love Knockamura. Now that I’ve seen him with Rick Boogs, I need

306
00:17:19,707 –> 00:17:23,627
matt: Rick Boogs to be a part of that. Um, The entrance won’t be the same.

307
00:17:23,620 –> 00:17:24,620
308
00:17:24,427 –> 00:17:29,787
matt: and uh, not not being able to watch Pat Macffe jump up on the desk and dance with Rick

309
00:17:29,947 –> 00:17:34,187
matt: Boogs. Um is going to take a lot out of Smackdown for me, Um,

310
00:17:35,467 –> 00:17:41,307
matt: I, I’m just I. I got a two and three for me. Probably how bad that that Renda Rosi,

311
00:17:41,387 –> 00:17:43,627
matt: Charlotte flare match was cause

312
00:17:41,920 –> 00:17:46,400
jeremy: oh man, that’s a example. I just completely blacked out on my memory because it’s

313
00:17:46,340 –> 00:17:47,340
jeremy: bad. Yeah,

314
00:17:46,747 –> 00:17:51,387
matt: we’re We’re going to say Number two was the match itself, and number three was Rick

315
00:17:51,547 –> 00:17:56,107
matt: Fllair’s tweet about how great a women’s match it was. Um.

316
00:17:57,687 –> 00:17:58,687
matt: I. I.

317
00:18:00,267 –> 00:18:05,867
matt: This feud sucked from from start to finish. This feud sucked. She didn’t need to win

318
00:18:06,107 –> 00:18:11,307
matt: the Royal Rumble to get to this, so it started off behind the eight ball. Charlotte

319
00:18:11,467 –> 00:18:17,627
matt: Fllaire had to do all the heavy lifting just to make it moderately tolerable Umcause,

320
00:18:18,347 –> 00:18:23,627
matt: As as I’ve said before, Rhonda Rosy is not she. There’s no charisma there,

321
00:18:23,220 –> 00:18:24,220
322
00:18:24,267 –> 00:18:29,947
matt: Um. she. She looks terrified when she’s on camera and expected to talk, Um

323
00:18:31,067 –> 00:18:37,147
matt: it. it just I. I. Charlotte did so much heavy lifting and then this match comes around

324
00:18:37,787 –> 00:18:43,467
matt: and you’re like Okay. It’s it’s been what. three years since Rhonda four years since

325
00:18:43,707 –> 00:18:49,547
matt: Rhonda’s debut in New Orleans, As of today, Uh, four years since Rhonda debuted. Um,

326
00:18:49,867 –> 00:18:54,427
matt: maybe she learned how to do more wrestling stuff, but no, it was just you know,

327
00:18:54,747 –> 00:18:56,427
matt: spamming arm drags, and then

328
00:18:57,547 –> 00:19:02,187
matt: them uncomfortably fidgeting their way out of a thousand different submission attempts

329
00:19:02,667 –> 00:19:06,507
matt: before Charlotte eventually got the win that we all kind of expected her to get.

330
00:19:06,667 –> 00:19:14,027
matt: anyway. Um, C. rousy. being a celebrity. Uh, they tend to disappear when uh wrestmania

331
00:19:14,187 –> 00:19:19,307
matt: is over. Um, at this point, I’m goingnna give props to Logan, Paul, because he’s still

332
00:19:19,387 –> 00:19:24,587
matt: doing interviews about being part of Wrestlemania, so at least he’s making an effort.

333
00:19:25,307 –> 00:19:27,307
matt: Um, but yeah, I. I.

334
00:19:28,587 –> 00:19:35,067
matt: That that match was just that match was as bad as the feud itself. Um, and it it it,

335
00:19:35,467 –> 00:19:40,907
matt: Rosi can be as pissed as she wants to that. Uh, it didn’t headline the evening. But

336
00:19:38,300 –> 00:19:39,300
jeremy: I mean,

337
00:19:41,147 –> 00:19:46,187
matt: uh, if they had gone on after Stone Cold Steve Austin, that building would have been

338
00:19:46,267 –> 00:19:49,387
matt: empty by the time that that cluster fuck of a match was over.

339
00:19:48,900 –> 00:19:49,900
340
00:19:48,900 –> 00:19:49,900
341
00:19:51,180 –> 00:19:52,180
jeremy: I mean.

342
00:19:52,980 –> 00:19:53,980
343
00:19:54,720 –> 00:19:57,840
jeremy: It’s it’s perfectly, said I. I don’t know where

344
00:20:00,080 –> 00:20:04,560
jeremy: I don’t know. It’s interesting too, and I was thinking kind of this morning that you

345
00:20:04,180 –> 00:20:05,180
346
00:20:06,800 –> 00:20:10,320
jeremy: this is. This has been a good wretle man for them. overall. I think

347
00:20:10,847 –> 00:20:11,847
matt: Yeah, Yeah,

348
00:20:11,920 –> 00:20:14,640
jeremy: they definitely have some good momentum coming off of this.

349
00:20:16,480 –> 00:20:21,600
jeremy: Are we going to be back to how they were like a month or so ago, like in a couple

350
00:20:21,920 –> 00:20:24,160
jeremy: weeks, or they actually going to like use this?

351
00:20:25,307 –> 00:20:29,627
matt: no, a hundred percent back to where they were because we saw on on Monday night Raw.

352
00:20:29,787 –> 00:20:34,907
matt: Uh, Bobby Lashley got a win over Omoss and then M. B. P decided to turn on Bobby

353
00:20:35,067 –> 00:20:37,147
matt: Lashley and join omoss. Um,

354
00:20:36,500 –> 00:20:37,500
jeremy: Oh? right?

355
00:20:38,667 –> 00:20:47,147
matt: okay, um, yeah, I, Bobby Lashley was already the face in that match. We didn’t need

356
00:20:47,387 –> 00:20:54,107
matt: anything else to help that turn. Um, If you need M v p to to stay a heel, let him show

357
00:20:54,207 –> 00:20:55,207
matt: up later. But

358
00:20:54,740 –> 00:20:55,740
359
00:20:55,387 –> 00:20:56,827
matt: that was that. that was just.

360
00:20:57,867 –> 00:21:02,107
matt: I don’t know, or he could have come out and cause Bobby Lashley to match at Wstmania

361
00:21:02,347 –> 00:21:06,027
matt: because we know this match is just going to happen three more times. Um

362
00:21:06,020 –> 00:21:07,020
jeremy: the other.

363
00:21:07,067 –> 00:21:14,747
matt: on E on every paper view between now and Summer Slam. So uh that that sort of sent me

364
00:21:14,907 –> 00:21:20,347
matt: back like right back to where we were three weeks ago. Um, even coming off out on the

365
00:21:20,507 –> 00:21:26,347
matt: on the whole, I felt like Russemania, even even two nights. And what, twelve total

366
00:21:26,507 –> 00:21:30,987
matt: hours of commitment, Um, I, I thought it was a a great show,

367
00:21:30,900 –> 00:21:31,900
368
00:21:31,787 –> 00:21:37,627
matt: Um. There there was some. There were some flops. Um, you know the Rickbgs injury, Um,

369
00:21:38,267 –> 00:21:42,907
matt: I really thought it was questionable to not let the New Day win their Biggie tribute

370
00:21:42,647 –> 00:21:43,647
371
00:21:42,900 –> 00:21:43,900
372
00:21:43,467 –> 00:21:46,027
matt: after Ridge Holland almost killed him, but um,

373
00:21:47,147 –> 00:21:48,907
matt: the w, w Es going to w

374
00:21:48,820 –> 00:21:49,820
375
00:21:49,307 –> 00:21:54,907
matt: w e. So, uh, I mean, there were somequestable shit, but on the whole this, this was

376
00:21:55,067 –> 00:21:57,547
matt: one of the better Wrestlemanias they’ve done since

377
00:21:58,587 –> 00:22:00,347
matt: Shit the last time they were in Dallas,

378
00:22:00,260 –> 00:22:01,260
379
00:22:00,687 –> 00:22:01,687
380
00:22:02,827 –> 00:22:07,947
matt: so it, I was hoping the momentum would carry. Uh, you know, Cody kicked off with a

381
00:22:08,027 –> 00:22:11,627
matt: great promo and then you got the M. V. P. weird thing.

382
00:22:11,860 –> 00:22:12,860
jeremy: But, but, but

383
00:22:12,187 –> 00:22:15,387
matt: Uh, you get. you got bootleg House of black. Uh,

384
00:22:15,760 –> 00:22:20,720
jeremy: hold on on the the Cody thing, though, amazing entrance of Wrestlemania, perfect

385
00:22:20,880 –> 00:22:26,320
jeremy: cotivator. But the fact that that thing is uh, ground level and not an actual ramp

386
00:22:26,560 –> 00:22:31,360
jeremy: anymore, then they bring out this whole jack in the box thing for him to rise out of

387
00:22:31,520 –> 00:22:35,680
jeremy: and then walk down a ramp. It’s real dumb. They got to figure something out there

388
00:22:35,920 –> 00:22:39,440
jeremy: like, and especially when it comes a paus for second. Then they cut to the shot

389
00:22:39,680 –> 00:22:41,920
jeremy: where you see his like head poking out the mo.

390
00:22:43,420 –> 00:22:44,420
jeremy: It was just real dumb.

391
00:22:43,627 –> 00:22:46,347
matt: but what a? what? What? I don’t get either.

392
00:22:47,787 –> 00:22:53,227
matt: It wasn’t really an elevator in a w, was it? It was just that thing and the back rose

393
00:22:53,307 –> 00:22:54,907
matt: up and he was standing behind it.

394
00:22:54,720 –> 00:22:57,040
jeremy: No, it it, it was. It was a ram. for the

395
00:22:57,067 –> 00:23:00,507
matt: Okay, So so he, kind of, he, kind of came out of the the floor too.

396
00:22:57,120 –> 00:23:01,440
jeremy: most part. Yeah, yeah, he came out. I think it’s it was a

397
00:23:01,167 –> 00:23:02,167
398
00:23:01,440 –> 00:23:05,760
jeremy: combination of two things. It was rising, the that like chandelier or whatever it

399
00:23:05,840 –> 00:23:08,560
jeremy: is, rose and he came up so he may

400
00:23:08,487 –> 00:23:09,487
matt: Yeah, I,

401
00:23:08,720 –> 00:23:12,480
jeremy: not have been like completely, like six feet under, but he at least rose like more

402
00:23:12,540 –> 00:23:13,540
403
00:23:14,587 –> 00:23:17,947
matt: there. there’s a. There’s a way they could have something rise from in front of him

404
00:23:17,620 –> 00:23:18,620
405
00:23:18,747 –> 00:23:23,147
matt: rather than this weird. I mean he was. He was a stripper popping out of a birthday

406
00:23:23,307 –> 00:23:28,747
matt: cake, uh to o to open Monday night raw. Uh, it was it was real. Um.

407
00:23:30,207 –> 00:23:31,207
matt: we’ll go with

408
00:23:31,147 –> 00:23:36,507
matt: questionable. Uh, And how how they cause they had to have test run the elevator?

409
00:23:31,220 –> 00:23:32,220
jeremy: yeah, yeah,

410
00:23:37,787 –> 00:23:41,147
matt: Uh, be cause they weren’t going to put him on to open the show and have the elevator

411
00:23:40,967 –> 00:23:41,967
matt: not work?

412
00:23:41,300 –> 00:23:42,300
413
00:23:41,727 –> 00:23:42,727
414
00:23:43,467 –> 00:23:48,587
matt: how nobody in that like test run production meeting was like All right, we need. we

415
00:23:48,667 –> 00:23:53,387
matt: need to rethink this. Uh, I. I, I don’t know it. That was something special.

416
00:23:53,920 –> 00:23:58,560
jeremy: yeah, yeah, so I, I. I. I’m like, very interested to see in like what they’re going

417
00:23:58,640 –> 00:24:02,320
jeremy: to do in future shows. If that’s going to adjust, or if they’ is going to do

418
00:24:02,400 –> 00:24:05,200
jeremy: anything, if they’re going to make some kind of like sound effects to go with it

419
00:24:05,280 –> 00:24:11,440
jeremy: like they did with Aster, black and and brickchet. Um, I don’t. Yeah, or even if

420
00:24:11,520 –> 00:24:15,680
jeremy: it’s just like elevator, like as they as it rises, Who knows?

421
00:24:17,520 –> 00:24:22,480
jeremy: but it’s like what I’m most excited to to see how they handle the cod thing. I think

422
00:24:22,640 –> 00:24:27,360
jeremy: you know he’ll face Roman and then he’ll kind of disappear into the middle card. Um,

423
00:24:27,840 –> 00:24:29,200
jeremy: maybe he’ll eventually face

424
00:24:31,040 –> 00:24:36,160
jeremy: uh, uh. Who who ended up with the weekend with Oh Real Roman has both championships.

425
00:24:36,927 –> 00:24:37,927
426
00:24:38,747 –> 00:24:44,267
matt: I, uh, I, honestly, you know it’s it’s fine. Y, bring him in. Let him face Roman. He’s

427
00:24:44,427 –> 00:24:48,587
matt: not going to get that belt from Roman right now, unless Romans like Superhrt need

428
00:24:48,527 –> 00:24:49,527
429
00:24:48,900 –> 00:24:49,900
430
00:24:49,947 –> 00:24:56,667
matt: Um. I. it’s it’s okay for me if if he loses and you know well, this requires him to

431
00:24:56,667 –> 00:25:01,467
matt: stay on Smackdown. But if if Cody carries the Interc Continental belt for a while,

432
00:25:01,220 –> 00:25:02,220
jeremy: yeah, yeah,

433
00:25:01,627 –> 00:25:05,947
matt: I’m I’m okay with that. Do an open challenge with Cody and the Intercontinental belt.

434
00:25:06,347 –> 00:25:12,027
matt: Um, we’d get a Cody Richchet match, which is already better than Rickche, defending in

435
00:25:12,187 –> 00:25:17,387
matt: handicaped matches against the low. What it, Letharios

436
00:25:18,987 –> 00:25:24,187
matt: G, we’re We’re not going to get started on on them. Because this podcast will turn

437
00:25:24,427 –> 00:25:26,747
matt: into that six and a half hour thing. But um,

438
00:25:29,627 –> 00:25:34,747
matt: there’s you know we are. We are in a renaissance of just tag team

439
00:25:35,787 –> 00:25:41,147
matt: wrestling greatness right now. I mean the hardies are back together. The young Bucks

440
00:25:41,227 –> 00:25:46,267
matt: are still killing it. F, T, R may may legitimately be on their way to cementing

441
00:25:46,587 –> 00:25:50,827
matt: themselves as one of the greatest tag teams of all time. The Briscoes are out there,

442
00:25:51,387 –> 00:25:58,507
matt: you you. The landscape of tag team wrestling is just astoundingly good right now and

443
00:25:58,667 –> 00:26:02,107
matt: then there’s what W puts on T. V.

444
00:26:01,860 –> 00:26:02,860
jeremy: yeah, yeah,

445
00:26:03,307 –> 00:26:08,107
matt: It’s like how are you guys dropping the ball this hard? You’ve got the fucking war

446
00:26:08,267 –> 00:26:11,867
matt: Raiders like you. You have war machine. you.

447
00:26:13,867 –> 00:26:19,147
matt: I. it. I’m not a huge fan of Angelo Dawkins, but you’ve got the street profits. Riddle

448
00:26:19,307 –> 00:26:25,387
matt: and Orton are working great together. You have so much talent in your tag division

449
00:26:26,187 –> 00:26:31,227
matt: like I, I’m so lost with the tag teams on Smackdown so lost

450
00:26:32,667 –> 00:26:33,707
matt: It makes no sense.

451
00:26:36,320 –> 00:26:43,120
jeremy: man with uh with a W. man. I just I. I. I was a little like coming off of Wrestmanum

452
00:26:43,280 –> 00:26:47,200
jeremy: like a little bit. It’s just like Oh, like on one level they’re like they’re not in

453
00:26:47,280 –> 00:26:50,880
jeremy: the same league. Like putting on the show like that, isn’t that? But then I have to

454
00:26:50,960 –> 00:26:55,200
jeremy: remember that Tok Tony Cons repeatedly said They’re not trying to like.

455
00:26:55,940 –> 00:26:56,940
456
00:26:56,207 –> 00:26:57,207
457
00:26:56,720 –> 00:27:00,720
jeremy: W or destroy, W. B. It’ is not like the Monday Night Wars in that sense,

458
00:27:02,080 –> 00:27:06,240
jeremy: and I just have to remember that. So it’s It’s just hard to to think someone made

459
00:27:06,320 –> 00:27:11,520
jeremy: analogy on the Internet that that. it’s like Uh, the a W. in some ways wants to be

460
00:27:11,600 –> 00:27:17,040
jeremy: Pepsido. Like W’s. Coke. Coke is by far more successful than Pepsi, and I hate

461
00:27:17,200 –> 00:27:21,760
jeremy: comparing a w b a w being Pepsi, because I hate Pepsi. It sucks. Um,

462
00:27:22,740 –> 00:27:23,740
463
00:27:23,547 –> 00:27:28,987
matt: it feels like far to C. M. punk. referenced. uh, uh, comparison too. so

464
00:27:28,240 –> 00:27:33,040
jeremy: yeah, but but I mean, as far as like company size and and stuff like that, I mean, a

465
00:27:33,280 –> 00:27:36,560
jeremy: W would be huge to be a A Pepsi. Basically so.

466
00:27:36,687 –> 00:27:37,687
467
00:27:37,120 –> 00:27:40,320
jeremy: Um, In that in that regards, uh, but you know

468
00:27:40,107 –> 00:27:41,627
matt: let’s let’s shoot for mountain

469
00:27:41,700 –> 00:27:42,700

00:27:54,507 –> 00:27:56,667
