0:00:45.990 --> 0:00:46.850
Yeah.
0:00:47.110 --> 0:00:48.851
Yeah.
0:00:48.932 --> 0:00:49.991
Man, what's happening, man?
0:00:50.031 --> 0:00:50.673
It's been a while.
0:00:50.713 --> 0:00:51.612
It's been a minute, man.
0:00:51.652 --> 0:00:52.753
A lot of life and a lot of
0:00:52.814 --> 0:00:53.875
wrestling that's happening.
0:00:53.994 --> 0:00:56.095
Luckily, that's why we're here, man.
0:00:56.716 --> 0:00:57.737
Happy day.
0:00:57.856 --> 0:01:00.198
Good day to you, wherever you are.
0:01:01.378 --> 0:01:02.058
Excuse me.
0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:04.581
It's been raining like crazy
0:01:04.661 --> 0:01:06.081
out here for the last few hours.
0:01:07.061 --> 0:01:09.162
And it's no signs of slowing down.
0:01:10.524 --> 0:01:11.625
We're going to get to all this.
0:01:12.125 --> 0:01:13.406
Road to WrestleMania talk.
0:01:14.006 --> 0:01:14.746
One of the most...
0:01:16.069 --> 0:01:19.051
awkward ways to get to the
0:01:19.132 --> 0:01:20.492
wrestlemania main event
0:01:20.591 --> 0:01:21.753
ever at least of my time
0:01:21.793 --> 0:01:25.334
that I can remember so it's
0:01:25.394 --> 0:01:26.834
time to unpack and unpack
0:01:26.875 --> 0:01:31.697
in the real way because um
0:01:32.897 --> 0:01:36.739
but that means without
0:01:36.780 --> 0:01:38.000
further ado it's time for
0:01:38.019 --> 0:01:41.121
the first black champ
0:01:41.141 --> 0:01:43.263
podcast and I'm still the pick
0:01:44.689 --> 0:01:45.049
Yeah,
0:01:45.469 --> 0:01:47.070
keep your pedophile face out our
0:01:47.150 --> 0:01:47.632
business.
0:01:48.371 --> 0:01:48.712
Hey.
0:01:49.852 --> 0:01:50.533
Care for the port.
0:01:51.052 --> 0:01:53.314
Oh, I know what that was meant for.
0:01:53.375 --> 0:01:54.575
Make sure you rate, like, subscribe,
0:01:54.594 --> 0:01:56.436
download to the Barbershop Network,
0:01:56.897 --> 0:01:59.477
home of First Black Champ.
0:01:59.518 --> 0:02:01.198
Make sure you go ahead and get that merch.
0:02:02.079 --> 0:02:03.540
The link is in the bio for that.
0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.802
Great show in store for you today,
0:02:07.182 --> 0:02:09.804
and we definitely have to
0:02:09.883 --> 0:02:11.905
kick it off with...
0:02:13.415 --> 0:02:15.236
Man, to slap her around the world.
0:02:17.198 --> 0:02:17.397
Yeah.
0:02:17.457 --> 0:02:18.658
The best way of putting it,
0:02:18.699 --> 0:02:20.180
to slap her around the world.
0:02:22.001 --> 0:02:25.223
It looks like the road to
0:02:25.242 --> 0:02:26.924
WrestleMania is going to
0:02:27.003 --> 0:02:28.405
involve finishing the story
0:02:28.925 --> 0:02:31.086
because I think a number of
0:02:31.105 --> 0:02:33.288
people were a bit nervous
0:02:33.967 --> 0:02:36.889
and stuff about if Cody
0:02:36.949 --> 0:02:39.510
Rhodes was going to get the chance to...
0:02:40.572 --> 0:02:41.752
finish the story.
0:02:42.632 --> 0:02:43.853
And it looks like he's gonna
0:02:43.913 --> 0:02:46.293
do that because he made his decision.
0:02:46.693 --> 0:02:50.274
And at WrestleMania on April 7th,
0:02:50.454 --> 0:02:52.694
which is the last day of
0:02:52.754 --> 0:02:53.914
WrestleMania in
0:02:54.055 --> 0:02:56.115
Philadelphia is gonna be
0:02:56.215 --> 0:02:57.596
Roman Reigns versus Cody
0:02:57.635 --> 0:02:59.015
Rhodes for the WWE
0:02:59.596 --> 0:03:01.475
Universal Championship.
0:03:02.697 --> 0:03:06.717
So it diverts to what people
0:03:06.917 --> 0:03:09.117
were nervous about the plan.
0:03:09.777 --> 0:03:11.639
which was that The Rock
0:03:11.980 --> 0:03:13.201
would be going up against
0:03:13.322 --> 0:03:16.866
Roman Reigns for the WWE
0:03:16.947 --> 0:03:19.889
Universal Championship and for the,
0:03:20.110 --> 0:03:20.891
I guess,
0:03:21.352 --> 0:03:24.116
the right to call someone the
0:03:24.675 --> 0:03:25.818
Tribal Chief.
0:03:27.924 --> 0:03:28.283
Yeah,
0:03:28.383 --> 0:03:31.247
so let's first start off with not
0:03:31.387 --> 0:03:32.747
necessarily the press conference,
0:03:32.828 --> 0:03:36.169
but just fan reaction and
0:03:36.189 --> 0:03:37.270
some of the things that you
0:03:37.330 --> 0:03:38.711
saw and your thoughts on that.
0:03:39.192 --> 0:03:41.514
Just a lot of fans that were
0:03:42.155 --> 0:03:44.496
very upset at what they saw
0:03:45.356 --> 0:03:48.038
on SmackDown before the press conference.
0:03:48.558 --> 0:03:50.741
They saw what looked like
0:03:50.820 --> 0:03:53.163
Cody Rhodes deferring to The Rock.
0:03:53.883 --> 0:03:55.163
and a lot of people being
0:03:55.324 --> 0:03:57.566
upset about that um but
0:03:57.645 --> 0:03:59.306
then to go to the press
0:03:59.347 --> 0:04:01.668
conference and you know
0:04:02.949 --> 0:04:05.110
basically say hey I made my
0:04:05.151 --> 0:04:06.531
decision is going to be you
0:04:06.570 --> 0:04:09.753
roman reigns um like what
0:04:09.794 --> 0:04:10.753
were your thoughts on the
0:04:10.834 --> 0:04:12.474
fan reaction and if you
0:04:12.574 --> 0:04:14.396
think that the fans
0:04:15.401 --> 0:04:18.324
really played a part in the
0:04:18.545 --> 0:04:20.966
change or the possible
0:04:21.045 --> 0:04:25.629
change in direction for the
0:04:25.730 --> 0:04:26.951
main event at wrestlemania
0:04:27.050 --> 0:04:31.834
yeah man you know to some
0:04:31.935 --> 0:04:34.776
to sum this all up and then
0:04:34.817 --> 0:04:36.338
to get right into it we're
0:04:36.358 --> 0:04:37.399
gonna quentin tarantino
0:04:37.439 --> 0:04:40.081
movie this everything that
0:04:40.161 --> 0:04:43.223
we said on the first black champ podcast
0:04:44.699 --> 0:04:47.199
is exactly why everything is
0:04:47.259 --> 0:04:49.221
happening the way it's happening now.
0:04:50.341 --> 0:04:53.023
This show, the first Black Champs show,
0:04:53.583 --> 0:04:56.363
told y'all Cody doesn't
0:04:56.663 --> 0:04:59.245
need to win the Royal
0:04:59.345 --> 0:05:02.326
Rumble to be in the main
0:05:02.387 --> 0:05:04.288
event against Roman Reigns
0:05:04.807 --> 0:05:08.468
or against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania.
0:05:09.490 --> 0:05:10.971
And lo and behold, look where we are.
0:05:12.110 --> 0:05:13.651
For the first time ever,
0:05:14.598 --> 0:05:15.300
Because there's always
0:05:16.064 --> 0:05:19.415
random first times for the Royal Rumble,
0:05:19.535 --> 0:05:19.735
right?
0:05:21.017 --> 0:05:21.918
There was the first time
0:05:21.978 --> 0:05:23.959
that the title was ever won.
0:05:24.100 --> 0:05:25.180
And then it was the first
0:05:25.199 --> 0:05:27.021
time it was the title was in contention.
0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:28.682
And then we had the first
0:05:28.721 --> 0:05:30.822
time it was a draw with Lex
0:05:30.882 --> 0:05:31.863
Luger and Bret Hart.
0:05:32.423 --> 0:05:33.564
And then they had to have
0:05:33.625 --> 0:05:35.925
two matches that were like
0:05:36.245 --> 0:05:37.346
a contenders match with a
0:05:37.387 --> 0:05:38.307
title match because the
0:05:38.326 --> 0:05:39.687
other person had to get his title match,
0:05:39.927 --> 0:05:41.228
but had to get his tune-up
0:05:41.288 --> 0:05:43.589
match because they both got
0:05:43.610 --> 0:05:44.331
to wrestle twice.
0:05:45.370 --> 0:05:46.091
to make sure everybody
0:05:46.110 --> 0:05:48.492
wrestled twice to get to one belt, right?
0:05:49.072 --> 0:05:50.091
Most confusing one ever,
0:05:50.411 --> 0:05:51.593
but resulted in one of the
0:05:51.632 --> 0:05:53.572
best cards match-wise
0:05:54.052 --> 0:05:55.954
probably in WrestleMania history.
0:05:57.233 --> 0:05:57.553
Now,
0:05:58.654 --> 0:06:01.115
we just watched the person that didn't
0:06:01.134 --> 0:06:05.297
need to win it win it, re-nig,
0:06:06.836 --> 0:06:08.877
get a reaction, and say, no, no, no,
0:06:08.958 --> 0:06:09.418
I'm joking.
0:06:10.177 --> 0:06:11.437
We're going to do what y'all
0:06:11.458 --> 0:06:13.899
want me to do with this.
0:06:14.622 --> 0:06:15.684
I'm going to do what y'all want me to do.
0:06:15.803 --> 0:06:16.283
Hold on.
0:06:16.303 --> 0:06:16.744
My bad.
0:06:16.764 --> 0:06:17.124
My bad.
0:06:17.863 --> 0:06:20.444
I thought because the ESPN thing,
0:06:20.524 --> 0:06:21.966
when The Rock had said it on,
0:06:22.065 --> 0:06:22.706
I think it was like college
0:06:22.725 --> 0:06:25.107
football or one of the pre-shows,
0:06:26.288 --> 0:06:27.327
that this is what y'all wanted.
0:06:28.208 --> 0:06:29.649
And it didn't matter if I won.
0:06:29.709 --> 0:06:31.189
I was like, well, no, Cody.
0:06:31.709 --> 0:06:33.310
We, banging myself,
0:06:33.350 --> 0:06:35.391
we told you that you didn't need to.
0:06:35.430 --> 0:06:36.091
They didn't say that.
0:06:36.170 --> 0:06:36.531
We did.
0:06:37.591 --> 0:06:39.853
And so the reactions,
0:06:41.312 --> 0:06:42.774
I'm conflicted because
0:06:44.776 --> 0:06:48.576
obviously cody rhodes
0:06:48.677 --> 0:06:49.956
finishing the story is
0:06:50.456 --> 0:06:51.416
officially the hottest
0:06:51.476 --> 0:06:52.958
story in wrestling and I
0:06:52.997 --> 0:06:55.057
didn't believe that I
0:06:55.098 --> 0:06:56.358
didn't believe that until
0:06:56.418 --> 0:06:58.399
we got the reactions from
0:06:58.439 --> 0:07:00.399
the people like literally
0:07:00.899 --> 0:07:02.699
when rocky sucks chance
0:07:02.740 --> 0:07:04.579
come back keep in mind we
0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:05.819
haven't heard that since
0:07:05.860 --> 0:07:06.939
what summer fall of 96 yeah
0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.060
you know what I mean
0:07:10.204 --> 0:07:11.805
So for Rocky Sucks' chance
0:07:11.867 --> 0:07:13.848
to come on a Monday Night
0:07:13.887 --> 0:07:15.449
Raw where The Rock is not
0:07:15.490 --> 0:07:16.531
scheduled to appear,
0:07:17.050 --> 0:07:18.853
he has no promo lined up,
0:07:18.892 --> 0:07:20.334
he has no match lined up
0:07:20.894 --> 0:07:23.137
after being cheered
0:07:23.237 --> 0:07:25.499
profusely the last two times.
0:07:26.300 --> 0:07:27.100
After having one of the
0:07:27.180 --> 0:07:29.201
biggest viral moments ever
0:07:29.221 --> 0:07:33.125
in wrestling history a few months prior.
0:07:33.346 --> 0:07:33.485
Yeah,
0:07:33.505 --> 0:07:35.648
because it's only February of this year,
0:07:35.668 --> 0:07:38.223
so 2023.
0:07:38.223 --> 0:07:43.105
That hard turn to hatred, one,
0:07:43.146 --> 0:07:45.247
lets me know that the demo
0:07:45.307 --> 0:07:46.028
is still the demo.
0:07:46.809 --> 0:07:48.750
And bang, what is the demo?
0:07:49.610 --> 0:07:53.593
White men ages 18 to 34.
0:07:55.233 --> 0:07:55.793
That was one.
0:07:55.894 --> 0:07:57.535
And then two, it's like, wow,
0:07:58.795 --> 0:08:00.976
the only story people truly
0:08:01.036 --> 0:08:02.598
care about where we sit
0:08:02.637 --> 0:08:05.672
right now in wrestling in 2024.
0:08:05.672 --> 0:08:07.372
It's Cody Rhodes' story.
0:08:07.673 --> 0:08:09.613
There officially is no story
0:08:10.014 --> 0:08:10.814
more important.
0:08:11.555 --> 0:08:14.237
I was shocked to have it
0:08:14.257 --> 0:08:15.677
confirmed this way.
0:08:17.017 --> 0:08:18.439
But that even go to show y'all, man.
0:08:18.478 --> 0:08:21.220
Hey, look, no matter how ill The Rock is.
0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:21.901
Hey, look,
0:08:21.961 --> 0:08:24.242
a lot of y'all were so mad at us
0:08:25.161 --> 0:08:27.644
for like The Rock's COINTELPRO episode.
0:08:28.324 --> 0:08:29.665
Y'all got mad because we was like, yo,
0:08:29.685 --> 0:08:31.105
The Rock play black when he want to.
0:08:32.381 --> 0:08:34.722
And the Rock ain't nobody,
0:08:34.822 --> 0:08:36.202
our top fives and all that.
0:08:36.243 --> 0:08:37.442
Y'all got mad when we said
0:08:37.482 --> 0:08:38.063
things like that.
0:08:38.104 --> 0:08:38.783
But look at that.
0:08:39.163 --> 0:08:40.984
Look at what the demo did.
0:08:41.004 --> 0:08:44.485
The demo looked at Cody
0:08:44.524 --> 0:08:46.566
Rhodes taking a sidestep
0:08:47.745 --> 0:08:49.427
for Rock versus Roman.
0:08:49.907 --> 0:08:53.388
And they said, nigger, please.
0:08:56.485 --> 0:08:57.785
And it's back going on
0:08:58.245 --> 0:08:59.605
exactly how they want it.
0:09:00.067 --> 0:09:01.346
Cody versus Roman.
0:09:01.606 --> 0:09:02.288
Hey, and now,
0:09:02.427 --> 0:09:03.707
I know we ain't talking about finishes,
0:09:03.748 --> 0:09:05.668
but we really know the finish now.
0:09:06.489 --> 0:09:08.230
We really know the finish now.
0:09:10.030 --> 0:09:11.172
It's no doubt in my mind.
0:09:12.152 --> 0:09:13.653
So that's my first half, and I'm sorry,
0:09:13.673 --> 0:09:14.673
what was your next question?
0:09:15.793 --> 0:09:16.014
I mean,
0:09:16.033 --> 0:09:17.835
you basically hit both of them on
0:09:17.855 --> 0:09:22.256
the head right there.
0:09:23.116 --> 0:09:24.977
I don't think that the fans...
0:09:26.263 --> 0:09:30.865
directly influenced what the
0:09:30.926 --> 0:09:33.206
decision of it was going to be,
0:09:33.868 --> 0:09:35.869
mainly because I thought we
0:09:35.908 --> 0:09:39.910
needed to wait in the first place.
0:09:40.591 --> 0:09:41.491
Because here's the thing.
0:09:41.511 --> 0:09:42.913
Here's the one thing that we
0:09:42.932 --> 0:09:43.832
know about Rocky.
0:09:43.893 --> 0:09:44.994
Rocky don't give a damn what
0:09:45.053 --> 0:09:45.794
anybody thinks.
0:09:46.115 --> 0:09:46.375
Right.
0:09:46.654 --> 0:09:46.995
Doesn't.
0:09:47.475 --> 0:09:48.395
Rocky going to do what he
0:09:48.416 --> 0:09:49.496
want to do regardless.
0:09:50.998 --> 0:09:54.799
I think that what Rocky knows
0:09:55.783 --> 0:09:58.666
what they need they need a
0:09:58.806 --> 0:10:02.428
monster face yeah and I'm
0:10:02.448 --> 0:10:03.649
gonna use you as the
0:10:03.690 --> 0:10:06.812
example here you were kind
0:10:06.873 --> 0:10:10.615
of down on finishing the
0:10:10.655 --> 0:10:13.798
story yeah you didn't you
0:10:13.839 --> 0:10:15.059
was like this story you
0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.001
lost yeah and I think while
0:10:18.062 --> 0:10:18.763
there are a number of
0:10:18.822 --> 0:10:21.164
people on the internet that's like whoo
0:10:24.344 --> 0:10:27.326
I also believe that folks was like,
0:10:28.005 --> 0:10:30.107
we ain't got to finish the story.
0:10:31.369 --> 0:10:36.011
And I think that the people was like,
0:10:36.672 --> 0:10:42.836
how can we, for lack of a better term,
0:10:44.376 --> 0:10:45.336
how can we get these
0:10:45.418 --> 0:10:47.578
dumbass fans back on board?
0:10:52.707 --> 0:10:55.849
you win the royal rumble you
0:10:56.048 --> 0:10:57.369
act like you're taking
0:10:57.389 --> 0:11:02.450
what's deserved away and
0:11:02.529 --> 0:11:04.470
then you get it back
0:11:06.431 --> 0:11:07.551
because because here's the
0:11:07.591 --> 0:11:08.931
thing and I was thinking
0:11:08.971 --> 0:11:11.331
about this and maybe I'm
0:11:11.371 --> 0:11:12.731
wrong maybe I'm thinking
0:11:13.052 --> 0:11:14.371
maybe I'm wrong and maybe
0:11:14.471 --> 0:11:16.692
I'm not thinking in the way
0:11:16.712 --> 0:11:17.893
that I should I should think
0:11:19.022 --> 0:11:20.003
But quite honestly,
0:11:20.062 --> 0:11:21.102
what do you get out of The
0:11:21.143 --> 0:11:22.364
Rock versus Roman Reigns?
0:11:24.605 --> 0:11:25.466
Right, right.
0:11:25.846 --> 0:11:27.307
You don't get anything.
0:11:27.668 --> 0:11:28.148
Not much.
0:11:28.207 --> 0:11:29.769
Not much for the progression
0:11:30.169 --> 0:11:33.611
of today's wrestling program.
0:11:33.892 --> 0:11:34.491
Exactly.
0:11:34.511 --> 0:11:35.552
You don't get, like,
0:11:35.572 --> 0:11:36.774
because here's the thing.
0:11:36.854 --> 0:11:38.095
Roman Reigns beat The Rock.
0:11:39.176 --> 0:11:39.676
So what?
0:11:41.116 --> 0:11:41.976
Roman Reigns has been
0:11:41.996 --> 0:11:43.258
through this already.
0:11:43.658 --> 0:11:44.519
If people forget,
0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:46.640
Roman Reigns wrestled The Undertaker.
0:11:47.426 --> 0:11:48.966
in a not-so-good match.
0:11:49.385 --> 0:11:51.067
Yeah.
0:11:51.086 --> 0:11:52.846
And even though he was the
0:11:52.927 --> 0:11:54.908
second person to beat The Undertaker,
0:11:56.008 --> 0:11:56.908
it was like, yo,
0:11:56.947 --> 0:11:57.988
this could put him over the
0:11:58.008 --> 0:11:59.469
hump to the point that they
0:11:59.509 --> 0:12:00.528
made that the main event.
0:12:01.109 --> 0:12:01.349
Yeah.
0:12:01.629 --> 0:12:03.668
For WrestleMania, that was the last match.
0:12:04.070 --> 0:12:04.309
Yeah.
0:12:04.570 --> 0:12:05.610
That didn't do anything.
0:12:06.110 --> 0:12:07.610
You know what also y'all got?
0:12:07.730 --> 0:12:08.269
Before you go,
0:12:08.309 --> 0:12:09.750
before you know what y'all also got,
0:12:10.610 --> 0:12:11.750
Brock Lesnar versus
0:12:12.051 --> 0:12:15.371
Goldberg in like a four-minute match.
0:12:17.482 --> 0:12:18.884
So when you look at The Rock
0:12:18.903 --> 0:12:20.184
versus Roman Reigns,
0:12:22.126 --> 0:12:24.989
I think the only people,
0:12:26.750 --> 0:12:30.572
and this is how I cut me some slack here.
0:12:33.195 --> 0:12:34.395
If you are a wrestling mind,
0:12:34.456 --> 0:12:35.897
Cody got to finish the story.
0:12:37.639 --> 0:12:40.821
But if you are of a business mind, TKO,
0:12:41.542 --> 0:12:43.062
Ari Manuel and company,
0:12:43.802 --> 0:12:45.404
you're like The Rock in the main event.
0:12:48.490 --> 0:12:49.711
That's a no-brainer.
0:12:50.652 --> 0:12:51.852
But what I believe happened
0:12:52.013 --> 0:12:55.394
is that the wrestling minds was like, yo,
0:12:55.414 --> 0:12:57.356
there's a way we could get what we want.
0:12:58.018 --> 0:12:59.379
We could get The Rock involved,
0:13:00.438 --> 0:13:02.041
but we can also make Cody
0:13:02.721 --> 0:13:03.881
our new John Cena.
0:13:04.602 --> 0:13:05.964
The best way of doing this
0:13:06.985 --> 0:13:08.765
is to act like we're swerving.
0:13:09.826 --> 0:13:10.788
The best way of doing this
0:13:10.847 --> 0:13:13.570
is to act like we're taking
0:13:13.649 --> 0:13:14.750
something from the fans.
0:13:17.511 --> 0:13:18.714
And then from there,
0:13:20.416 --> 0:13:21.937
give them back what they wanted.
0:13:22.918 --> 0:13:23.578
Only thing is,
0:13:23.778 --> 0:13:27.203
is what I think is that they
0:13:27.323 --> 0:13:28.184
never had to go through
0:13:28.205 --> 0:13:29.086
this in the first place.
0:13:30.427 --> 0:13:34.432
If Cody did not win the Royal Rumble,
0:13:35.273 --> 0:13:37.735
you could have got everything you wanted.
0:13:38.815 --> 0:13:40.056
It literally could have been
0:13:40.636 --> 0:13:42.778
The Rock is going to go up
0:13:42.837 --> 0:13:44.639
against Roman and then
0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.841
Cody's begging for an opportunity,
0:13:47.302 --> 0:13:48.602
which might be his last
0:13:48.682 --> 0:13:51.205
opportunity to go up against Roman.
0:13:51.625 --> 0:13:53.947
And somebody else, Gunther,
0:13:55.087 --> 0:13:56.990
could have won the Royal
0:13:57.090 --> 0:13:58.910
Rumble and been like, yo,
0:13:59.072 --> 0:14:00.091
I'm going against Seth.
0:14:00.493 --> 0:14:00.692
Yeah.
0:14:01.658 --> 0:14:02.618
And then it wouldn't look
0:14:02.658 --> 0:14:03.857
like Seth is just sitting
0:14:03.938 --> 0:14:04.658
out here in the cold.
0:14:05.139 --> 0:14:05.379
Right.
0:14:06.019 --> 0:14:07.278
So, man,
0:14:07.458 --> 0:14:09.720
I loved a lot of things that you said.
0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:11.360
And I want to bring it back
0:14:11.399 --> 0:14:12.679
to the WrestleMania thing real quick.
0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.421
Because I remember the 21 and 1 night.
0:14:16.441 --> 0:14:22.422
And I want to say we or me, the show,
0:14:22.442 --> 0:14:23.082
we were like,
0:14:23.822 --> 0:14:26.342
why did Brock Lesnar be the Undertaker?
0:14:26.962 --> 0:14:29.264
He's already solidified as who he is.
0:14:30.605 --> 0:14:32.006
somebody that they believe
0:14:32.147 --> 0:14:34.847
in tomorrow needs to beat
0:14:35.248 --> 0:14:36.028
the undertaker at
0:14:36.067 --> 0:14:38.448
wrestlemania because this
0:14:38.548 --> 0:14:39.809
is just a stat that
0:14:40.070 --> 0:14:41.870
unfortunately don't really
0:14:41.970 --> 0:14:43.010
mean that much to brock
0:14:43.051 --> 0:14:44.350
lesnar because he's already
0:14:44.410 --> 0:14:45.611
done everything twice
0:14:46.855 --> 0:14:51.379
So when the big dog Roman Reigns won,
0:14:51.499 --> 0:14:52.799
I was like, hey,
0:14:53.020 --> 0:14:53.961
I know people don't like
0:14:54.001 --> 0:14:54.902
this and they booing,
0:14:55.302 --> 0:14:56.283
but this is what makes
0:14:56.323 --> 0:14:58.905
sense because he's the guy.
0:14:59.466 --> 0:15:01.207
This is the guy that in 2012,
0:15:01.207 --> 0:15:03.870
everybody was like, yo, no,
0:15:04.010 --> 0:15:04.990
he's really next.
0:15:05.432 --> 0:15:06.613
This is who we want to win.
0:15:07.153 --> 0:15:08.374
I don't know why they booing.
0:15:09.274 --> 0:15:10.836
Maybe he's not meant to be your face.
0:15:11.476 --> 0:15:13.738
But him beating The
0:15:13.898 --> 0:15:16.038
Undertaker at WrestleMania
0:15:16.099 --> 0:15:17.259
makes perfect sense.
0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:19.900
So now we've done that.
0:15:20.461 --> 0:15:22.243
Again, may not have been done right.
0:15:22.663 --> 0:15:23.883
Didn't get done on time,
0:15:23.923 --> 0:15:25.043
if you want my personal
0:15:25.104 --> 0:15:26.144
assessment and opinion.
0:15:26.544 --> 0:15:28.144
But that was where we are.
0:15:28.405 --> 0:15:28.826
So now.
0:15:30.309 --> 0:15:31.171
Love that point.
0:15:31.791 --> 0:15:32.932
Because again,
0:15:33.352 --> 0:15:34.352
one of my guaranteed DMTs
0:15:34.373 --> 0:15:37.155
for this year was Cody
0:15:37.196 --> 0:15:37.936
ain't going to finish the
0:15:37.956 --> 0:15:38.917
story at WrestleMania.
0:15:39.597 --> 0:15:40.899
Cancel Christmas and Easter
0:15:41.239 --> 0:15:42.279
because he don't need to.
0:15:42.919 --> 0:15:43.821
I think he's going to finish
0:15:43.841 --> 0:15:45.081
the story at like the Great
0:15:45.121 --> 0:15:46.982
American Bash or SummerSlam.
0:15:47.104 --> 0:15:47.364
Why?
0:15:47.683 --> 0:15:49.044
Because his pops was all
0:15:49.085 --> 0:15:49.966
about the summertime.
0:15:50.005 --> 0:15:52.567
Some of the best moments that ever came.
0:15:52.888 --> 0:15:54.450
for Dusty Rhodes was the
0:15:54.509 --> 0:15:56.030
summer and the fall winter.
0:15:56.291 --> 0:15:57.772
Like, that's kind of his bag.
0:15:58.052 --> 0:15:59.234
So I thought it was going to
0:15:59.254 --> 0:16:03.717
be some WWE byproduct purchased by WWE,
0:16:03.738 --> 0:16:06.019
now TKO, that was going to be like, hey,
0:16:06.059 --> 0:16:06.320
yo,
0:16:06.759 --> 0:16:08.322
we're going to have you win this at
0:16:08.361 --> 0:16:08.981
Super Bowl.
0:16:09.682 --> 0:16:09.903
Yeah,
0:16:09.942 --> 0:16:11.004
we're going to do Super Bowl for the
0:16:11.043 --> 0:16:11.705
first time ever,
0:16:12.524 --> 0:16:13.265
and you're about to win it.
0:16:13.306 --> 0:16:14.767
Or we're going to bring back
0:16:14.807 --> 0:16:16.389
Starrcade one more time,
0:16:16.788 --> 0:16:17.750
and you're about to finish
0:16:17.769 --> 0:16:18.350
the story there.
0:16:19.254 --> 0:16:20.015
Those are the kind of things
0:16:20.035 --> 0:16:21.096
that I was thinking about.
0:16:21.798 --> 0:16:24.100
So I want to say all that to say this.
0:16:24.921 --> 0:16:26.783
Because I think you're on to
0:16:26.842 --> 0:16:27.342
something here.
0:16:28.485 --> 0:16:29.865
And my thing lately has been
0:16:29.885 --> 0:16:30.567
the heat check.
0:16:32.307 --> 0:16:33.629
Question for you is this.
0:16:34.811 --> 0:16:37.333
Do you think they threw that
0:16:37.494 --> 0:16:38.615
rock thing out there?
0:16:39.192 --> 0:16:39.993
For the heat check,
0:16:40.993 --> 0:16:42.495
do you think that maybe they thought,
0:16:42.754 --> 0:16:43.034
well,
0:16:43.134 --> 0:16:46.017
Rockin' Roman is 50-50 and Cody
0:16:46.037 --> 0:16:47.057
Roman is 50-50?
0:16:47.577 --> 0:16:48.859
What about if we put all
0:16:48.899 --> 0:16:49.820
these worlds together to
0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:50.721
see who the people really
0:16:50.740 --> 0:16:52.802
want to see that's at 51%
0:16:52.802 --> 0:16:57.765
or 52% or more in one of
0:16:57.806 --> 0:16:59.147
these main events for this
0:16:59.167 --> 0:16:59.947
year's WrestleMania?
0:17:01.068 --> 0:17:03.289
It wouldn't shock me if the heat check...
0:17:04.355 --> 0:17:06.777
was done.
0:17:07.757 --> 0:17:09.218
But I also believe they knew
0:17:09.278 --> 0:17:11.059
what the heat check was going to be.
0:17:12.260 --> 0:17:13.260
So here's the thing.
0:17:13.401 --> 0:17:16.824
I think taking the
0:17:16.923 --> 0:17:18.325
opportunity away from Cody
0:17:18.365 --> 0:17:19.645
Rose was going to end up
0:17:19.685 --> 0:17:21.446
the way that it ended up regardless.
0:17:23.067 --> 0:17:24.128
Especially with him winning
0:17:24.148 --> 0:17:25.430
the Royal Rumble because then it's like,
0:17:25.470 --> 0:17:25.529
yo,
0:17:25.549 --> 0:17:26.611
what was the point of him winning the
0:17:26.651 --> 0:17:27.211
Royal Rumble?
0:17:27.871 --> 0:17:29.412
I think a lot of times in wrestling,
0:17:29.432 --> 0:17:30.053
we get duped.
0:17:32.002 --> 0:17:34.223
think we especially now
0:17:35.023 --> 0:17:38.006
especially now in the world
0:17:38.586 --> 0:17:40.307
that we live in a lot of
0:17:40.346 --> 0:17:42.126
times we get duped we see
0:17:42.208 --> 0:17:44.288
something we expect to get
0:17:44.648 --> 0:17:47.069
a result and then when we
0:17:47.089 --> 0:17:48.170
get the result that we
0:17:48.210 --> 0:17:49.371
expected we don't get it
0:17:49.431 --> 0:17:50.510
then we get on the social
0:17:50.530 --> 0:17:52.412
media and we start typing
0:17:52.932 --> 0:17:54.472
and we start boohooing we
0:17:54.492 --> 0:17:56.854
get on twitter and we start
0:17:56.874 --> 0:17:57.933
voicing our opinions
0:17:57.953 --> 0:17:58.974
everybody gets on their
0:17:59.015 --> 0:18:01.076
podcast to say how the wwe
0:18:01.615 --> 0:18:03.339
is wrong and Paul is wrong.
0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.324
But then they fail to
0:18:05.384 --> 0:18:06.787
realize that there's a
0:18:06.866 --> 0:18:08.891
whole plan that's in place.
0:18:10.534 --> 0:18:11.636
And you're part of the plan.
0:18:13.476 --> 0:18:15.576
People that watch wrestling
0:18:15.717 --> 0:18:16.876
don't understand that
0:18:16.936 --> 0:18:18.738
they're just as much as
0:18:18.817 --> 0:18:20.878
part of the plan as the
0:18:20.979 --> 0:18:23.439
wrestlers because they need a reaction.
0:18:24.140 --> 0:18:25.980
So it would not shock me or
0:18:26.019 --> 0:18:28.161
surprise me if the way that
0:18:28.201 --> 0:18:30.201
they rolled it out was the
0:18:30.281 --> 0:18:31.541
way that it was rolled out.
0:18:31.701 --> 0:18:33.643
It wouldn't shock me if the
0:18:33.682 --> 0:18:35.284
whole plan was Cody wins
0:18:35.304 --> 0:18:36.324
the Royal Rumble.
0:18:37.064 --> 0:18:38.924
He teases that it's going to be Seth.
0:18:39.894 --> 0:18:41.414
He goes to SmackDown.
0:18:41.775 --> 0:18:43.375
He say, man, I talked to some people.
0:18:43.655 --> 0:18:44.115
Oh, no.
0:18:44.496 --> 0:18:46.115
The Rock comes out because
0:18:46.155 --> 0:18:47.136
The Rock's been teasing
0:18:47.156 --> 0:18:48.376
this shit all summer.
0:18:49.656 --> 0:18:51.057
But Cody never officially
0:18:51.117 --> 0:18:52.077
makes a decision.
0:18:53.278 --> 0:18:55.118
And then they go to this press conference.
0:18:55.778 --> 0:18:56.798
And then that's what they get.
0:18:56.818 --> 0:18:57.638
Because also,
0:18:58.159 --> 0:18:59.720
The Rock went heel early in
0:18:59.759 --> 0:19:01.019
that day on Pat McAfee.
0:19:02.323 --> 0:19:03.623
He went heel to Cody
0:19:03.643 --> 0:19:05.104
Crybabies and all of that stuff.
0:19:05.943 --> 0:19:07.064
It wouldn't shock me if all
0:19:07.104 --> 0:19:08.044
of this was planned out.
0:19:08.743 --> 0:19:08.983
Now,
0:19:09.763 --> 0:19:11.964
it would not shock me either if they
0:19:12.005 --> 0:19:13.565
was like, hey, you know what?
0:19:13.724 --> 0:19:16.145
These fans, we in Philly.
0:19:16.685 --> 0:19:17.145
Remember?
0:19:17.806 --> 0:19:19.145
Philly will hijack a show.
0:19:19.905 --> 0:19:21.307
So that wouldn't shock me either.
0:19:21.586 --> 0:19:22.527
But here's the thing.
0:19:24.146 --> 0:19:26.208
We could chant Rocky sucks all day long,
0:19:26.288 --> 0:19:27.708
but when WrestleMania comes...
0:19:28.564 --> 0:19:32.346
be there and go cheer yeah
0:19:32.807 --> 0:19:34.709
hey and and and to that
0:19:34.808 --> 0:19:37.570
point there's only in my
0:19:37.651 --> 0:19:39.991
mind there's only three
0:19:40.192 --> 0:19:43.894
markets that would have
0:19:43.914 --> 0:19:47.298
been open arm receptive to
0:19:48.178 --> 0:19:50.519
rock versus roman at the
0:19:50.539 --> 0:19:51.800
royal rumble for the world
0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:56.724
title right that's miami san francisco
0:19:58.498 --> 0:19:59.239
in New York City.
0:19:59.778 --> 0:20:00.179
That's it.
0:20:00.279 --> 0:20:00.900
Those are the three.
0:20:02.820 --> 0:20:04.261
I have never been in love
0:20:04.281 --> 0:20:05.403
with the idea of Rock
0:20:05.442 --> 0:20:06.743
versus Roman in Philly just
0:20:06.804 --> 0:20:08.585
because of the last time I
0:20:08.644 --> 0:20:10.266
remember seeing Rock and
0:20:10.346 --> 0:20:13.067
Roman together in Philly.
0:20:14.229 --> 0:20:16.670
I don't think this is the
0:20:16.710 --> 0:20:21.732
market to play these kind of games with.
0:20:21.913 --> 0:20:25.576
In general, I don't think that
0:20:26.823 --> 0:20:31.865
Philly loves Rocky that much, period.
0:20:32.885 --> 0:20:33.826
Check the history.
0:20:34.467 --> 0:20:36.288
I want to say the Hollywood
0:20:36.347 --> 0:20:38.269
rock character got invented
0:20:38.449 --> 0:20:39.970
because of the Philly market.
0:20:41.307 --> 0:20:42.407
I want to say like that was
0:20:42.448 --> 0:20:43.928
the one when he did the
0:20:43.968 --> 0:20:45.669
Titan Tron thing and he was
0:20:45.689 --> 0:20:47.369
saluting Booker T. But he
0:20:47.390 --> 0:20:48.029
was trying to shit on
0:20:48.069 --> 0:20:48.871
everybody else that was
0:20:48.931 --> 0:20:50.112
like the faces and the
0:20:50.172 --> 0:20:51.132
heels and doing all that.
0:20:51.471 --> 0:20:52.732
And that crowd booed the
0:20:52.752 --> 0:20:54.053
shit out of that promo so
0:20:54.134 --> 0:20:57.015
bad from via satellite that
0:20:57.055 --> 0:20:57.934
I really didn't even hear
0:20:57.974 --> 0:20:58.655
what he was saying.
0:20:59.336 --> 0:21:00.477
And then all of a sudden,
0:21:00.537 --> 0:21:02.136
I think he had to go with
0:21:02.156 --> 0:21:03.397
Hollywood Rock because
0:21:03.417 --> 0:21:04.598
there was no other option.
0:21:05.318 --> 0:21:07.820
So now I'm thinking about
0:21:07.980 --> 0:21:11.303
that and seeing Philly, WrestleMania 40,
0:21:11.303 --> 0:21:12.343
Rock vs. Roman.
0:21:12.442 --> 0:21:14.263
Yeah, it's beautiful,
0:21:14.805 --> 0:21:16.766
but you better do that at SoFi.
0:21:18.686 --> 0:21:20.327
You better do that at MetLife.
0:21:21.189 --> 0:21:23.410
You better do that at Tropicana.
0:21:23.769 --> 0:21:26.011
I'm like, I don't think there's,
0:21:26.632 --> 0:21:27.813
I think there's only three
0:21:27.873 --> 0:21:30.653
markets domestically where
0:21:30.693 --> 0:21:32.454
you can get that off and we
0:21:32.474 --> 0:21:33.615
don't get what we already
0:21:33.655 --> 0:21:34.836
been seeing the last few days.
0:21:36.088 --> 0:21:36.949
Yeah, and see,
0:21:38.490 --> 0:21:39.230
as they're playing the
0:21:39.289 --> 0:21:42.491
montage and everything on Raw right now,
0:21:43.451 --> 0:21:44.272
hey, what?
0:21:44.492 --> 0:21:46.413
Okay, somebody explain to me,
0:21:47.673 --> 0:21:48.674
what's the reason for The
0:21:48.714 --> 0:21:49.714
Rock versus Roman?
0:21:53.076 --> 0:21:55.778
Especially how the press
0:21:55.817 --> 0:21:57.459
conference went and how the
0:21:57.618 --> 0:21:58.798
end of SmackDown went.
0:21:59.380 --> 0:22:00.700
Oh, so like, see,
0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:02.780
and I think that's what's even worse,
0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:03.040
man.
0:22:03.060 --> 0:22:04.182
You got the world champ.
0:22:05.421 --> 0:22:07.163
Facing a guy who literally
0:22:08.204 --> 0:22:09.465
don't even want the belt.
0:22:09.767 --> 0:22:09.946
See,
0:22:09.967 --> 0:22:11.808
that's the other problem with this Rock.
0:22:11.828 --> 0:22:13.171
The Rock ain't even talking about, like,
0:22:13.310 --> 0:22:14.792
I want to be the champ again.
0:22:15.394 --> 0:22:15.634
Like,
0:22:16.075 --> 0:22:17.436
he ain't going to be the 17-time
0:22:17.457 --> 0:22:17.958
champion.
0:22:19.710 --> 0:22:21.371
He ain't went after the belt.
0:22:21.711 --> 0:22:23.832
He talking about some bound by blood.
0:22:24.392 --> 0:22:25.232
I'm like, bro,
0:22:25.593 --> 0:22:27.513
you can solve this at vengeance.
0:22:28.034 --> 0:22:28.794
Yeah, like,
0:22:29.233 --> 0:22:30.115
what was... You can bring it
0:22:30.154 --> 0:22:31.015
back in your house for the
0:22:31.035 --> 0:22:31.796
shit you talking.
0:22:31.955 --> 0:22:32.155
Right.
0:22:32.375 --> 0:22:33.596
I would need somebody to
0:22:33.655 --> 0:22:35.096
tell me what would have
0:22:35.136 --> 0:22:37.377
been the reason for Rock versus Roman.
0:22:38.578 --> 0:22:39.598
The head of the table?
0:22:40.420 --> 0:22:44.480
Look at the bloodline family
0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:45.622
tree that they created.
0:22:46.464 --> 0:22:48.146
they don't even have roman
0:22:48.946 --> 0:22:50.648
on there as the tribal
0:22:50.729 --> 0:22:53.951
chief but they got the rock
0:22:54.913 --> 0:22:58.936
as high chief say louis I
0:22:59.938 --> 0:23:00.898
don't know if I pronounced
0:23:00.979 --> 0:23:02.079
it right rock don't beat me
0:23:02.740 --> 0:23:04.182
up but they got him as a
0:23:04.221 --> 0:23:07.724
high chief so the high
0:23:07.805 --> 0:23:08.846
chief would be here
0:23:09.857 --> 0:23:11.459
The tribal chief would be here.
0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:14.760
So what would it be?
0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:16.461
A fight to become a high chief?
0:23:17.303 --> 0:23:18.304
That would mean that it
0:23:18.344 --> 0:23:20.224
would make Roman the face
0:23:20.325 --> 0:23:22.066
if he's trying to fight for something.
0:23:23.146 --> 0:23:25.147
The Rock says that I'm the high chief.
0:23:25.307 --> 0:23:26.548
I'm at the head of the table.
0:23:27.430 --> 0:23:28.130
No.
0:23:29.830 --> 0:23:30.991
Because of how short the
0:23:31.031 --> 0:23:32.053
turnaround was going to be
0:23:32.073 --> 0:23:32.893
in the first place,
0:23:34.674 --> 0:23:35.954
the only reason why you
0:23:35.974 --> 0:23:37.375
would want that to happen
0:23:37.435 --> 0:23:38.557
is that you're on board.
0:23:38.596 --> 0:23:39.577
I want to wrestle my cousin.
0:23:42.113 --> 0:23:42.952
That's what it feel like.
0:23:43.613 --> 0:23:44.874
So that's why I don't
0:23:44.913 --> 0:23:49.055
believe that this was the
0:23:49.234 --> 0:23:51.236
match that was going to happen.
0:23:51.895 --> 0:23:53.415
I don't believe it because
0:23:54.176 --> 0:23:55.977
as The Rock said,
0:23:56.356 --> 0:23:58.218
he's here for the long game.
0:23:58.857 --> 0:24:00.278
It has to make sense.
0:24:00.999 --> 0:24:02.699
The long game is not a
0:24:02.818 --> 0:24:04.980
short-term build for a
0:24:05.059 --> 0:24:06.380
match at WrestleMania.
0:24:07.921 --> 0:24:10.402
The long game is Cody Rhodes
0:24:10.461 --> 0:24:11.721
finishing the story.
0:24:13.202 --> 0:24:17.085
But here's where we go left.
0:24:18.365 --> 0:24:19.885
And here's where left.
0:24:20.406 --> 0:24:23.647
And here's why the main
0:24:23.748 --> 0:24:26.150
reason why I never really
0:24:26.309 --> 0:24:29.330
believed that The Rock and
0:24:29.371 --> 0:24:30.332
Roman Reigns was going to
0:24:30.372 --> 0:24:31.532
headline WrestleMania with
0:24:31.553 --> 0:24:32.712
a storyline so quick.
0:24:33.814 --> 0:24:34.753
Because of family.
0:24:36.174 --> 0:24:37.015
Ladies and gentlemen,
0:24:37.875 --> 0:24:38.895
The Rock slapped the shit
0:24:38.935 --> 0:24:39.797
out of Cody Rhodes.
0:24:41.453 --> 0:24:43.234
For talking about his family.
0:24:43.836 --> 0:24:44.076
Yeah.
0:24:44.757 --> 0:24:45.096
Yet,
0:24:45.477 --> 0:24:48.819
I've said it on this podcast since its
0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:50.201
inception, y'all.
0:24:51.721 --> 0:24:52.903
The Rose family is the most
0:24:53.042 --> 0:24:56.244
disrespected family in the WWE.
0:24:56.805 --> 0:24:57.205
Yes.
0:24:58.165 --> 0:24:58.787
That's why.
0:24:59.788 --> 0:25:02.789
When you say, don't disrespect my family,
0:25:03.851 --> 0:25:05.892
Cody is the family.
0:25:06.251 --> 0:25:07.913
His family is the one that's
0:25:07.953 --> 0:25:08.993
been disrespected.
0:25:09.214 --> 0:25:09.375
Yeah.
0:25:10.201 --> 0:25:13.624
Dusty didn't get the WWWF championship.
0:25:16.605 --> 0:25:19.467
Dusty came back with polka dots.
0:25:21.969 --> 0:25:25.351
Cody Rhodes ended up being Stardust.
0:25:26.250 --> 0:25:28.053
But before that, of course,
0:25:28.853 --> 0:25:31.354
Dustin becomes Goldust.
0:25:33.015 --> 0:25:34.655
All Vince McMahon ideas and
0:25:34.695 --> 0:25:38.979
creations for a man that he hated.
0:25:41.068 --> 0:25:42.690
The reason why Virgil got
0:25:42.730 --> 0:25:43.849
the name Virgil from the
0:25:43.910 --> 0:25:45.892
Million Dollar Man reportedly, allegedly,
0:25:47.071 --> 0:25:50.074
is because Virgil Runnels
0:25:50.134 --> 0:25:51.974
is the real name of Dusty Rhodes.
0:25:52.954 --> 0:25:56.217
The Million Dollar Man is
0:25:56.277 --> 0:25:57.557
based off of Vince McMahon.
0:25:58.678 --> 0:26:00.098
So Vince wanted to let Dusty
0:26:00.138 --> 0:26:01.799
Rhodes know that he was his slave.
0:26:04.701 --> 0:26:08.042
Tell me, let's look at the families, y'all,
0:26:08.163 --> 0:26:08.682
in the WWE.
0:26:10.232 --> 0:26:14.473
The Samoan dynasty, up there.
0:26:16.335 --> 0:26:20.355
The Hart family, up there.
0:26:22.817 --> 0:26:23.857
The Rose family.
0:26:23.877 --> 0:26:27.679
Yeah.
0:26:29.220 --> 0:26:30.619
They went in the charisma battle,
0:26:30.859 --> 0:26:31.400
unfortunately.
0:26:31.420 --> 0:26:31.619
Right.
0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:37.001
So on Raw, I would expect Cody to be like,
0:26:37.741 --> 0:26:39.042
disrespect your family.
0:26:43.307 --> 0:26:44.028
You serious?
0:26:46.411 --> 0:26:48.352
You serious, Dwayne?
0:26:51.394 --> 0:26:52.194
You serious?
0:26:53.537 --> 0:26:57.599
My father, a respected man in the business,
0:26:57.640 --> 0:26:59.340
came to the WWF and had to
0:26:59.381 --> 0:27:00.261
wear polka dots.
0:27:02.463 --> 0:27:03.144
My brother,
0:27:04.705 --> 0:27:07.548
a very well respected wrestler in WCW,
0:27:08.568 --> 0:27:10.490
who debuted in the WWF,
0:27:14.146 --> 0:27:18.009
had to become an androgynous
0:27:19.211 --> 0:27:21.653
wrestler by the name of Goldust.
0:27:23.114 --> 0:27:29.137
He had to get slurs rained
0:27:29.198 --> 0:27:31.339
down on him in the area
0:27:31.380 --> 0:27:32.119
where they allowed it.
0:27:35.462 --> 0:27:36.343
Then it was me.
0:27:38.285 --> 0:27:40.686
You changed up my character so many times
0:27:42.045 --> 0:27:43.164
And then my last character
0:27:43.184 --> 0:27:45.066
before I came back was Stardust.
0:27:48.986 --> 0:27:50.246
I married a black woman and
0:27:50.286 --> 0:27:53.586
then all of a sudden, like, hey,
0:27:53.686 --> 0:27:54.326
I ain't gonna go there.
0:27:55.487 --> 0:27:57.087
What I'm saying is to y'all
0:27:57.288 --> 0:28:00.887
is the storyline has always
0:28:00.968 --> 0:28:02.328
been about family.
0:28:04.088 --> 0:28:06.308
Whether it was Roman versus
0:28:06.348 --> 0:28:07.410
The Rock or not,
0:28:08.009 --> 0:28:10.049
it has always been about family.
0:28:11.323 --> 0:28:14.726
So when The Rock looks at Cody like, yo,
0:28:14.766 --> 0:28:16.366
don't disrespect my family,
0:28:16.708 --> 0:28:18.709
when you say something about his family,
0:28:19.309 --> 0:28:21.912
his blood, that blood runs through me.
0:28:23.053 --> 0:28:23.653
Ladies and gentlemen,
0:28:23.673 --> 0:28:25.375
what you thought The Rock
0:28:25.434 --> 0:28:26.415
and Roman Reigns was going
0:28:26.435 --> 0:28:27.876
to do during that whole promo run?
0:28:29.337 --> 0:28:29.877
So, yeah,
0:28:30.038 --> 0:28:31.878
it could be the easiest case of
0:28:32.298 --> 0:28:33.979
you could talk shit about my family.
0:28:34.378 --> 0:28:36.180
Well, I could talk shit about my family,
0:28:36.220 --> 0:28:36.920
but you can't.
0:28:36.940 --> 0:28:37.740
Right.
0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:39.441
But then Cody's like, yo,
0:28:39.461 --> 0:28:40.580
y'all been doing my family
0:28:40.641 --> 0:28:41.560
dirty for years.
0:28:41.580 --> 0:28:42.382
Yeah.
0:28:42.821 --> 0:28:44.321
So I can't say that your
0:28:44.402 --> 0:28:46.923
grandfather would be ashamed of you.
0:28:48.355 --> 0:28:49.455
But y'all can shit on my
0:28:49.557 --> 0:28:51.057
family all this time?
0:28:51.616 --> 0:28:51.917
Right.
0:28:52.077 --> 0:28:53.317
That's the storyline.
0:28:53.817 --> 0:28:54.117
Yeah.
0:28:54.618 --> 0:28:57.660
The storyline is Cody has to
0:28:57.700 --> 0:28:59.080
go up against a legendary
0:28:59.141 --> 0:29:03.001
family to prop up his
0:29:03.082 --> 0:29:05.983
family name and all of the
0:29:06.064 --> 0:29:09.045
mess that the WWE has given us.
0:29:10.329 --> 0:29:12.392
I can turn around by winning
0:29:12.471 --> 0:29:14.753
the WWE universal
0:29:14.814 --> 0:29:17.596
championship from you and
0:29:17.656 --> 0:29:20.479
your family's rich history and legacy.
0:29:21.339 --> 0:29:22.701
That's the long game.
0:29:23.060 --> 0:29:25.123
That's always been the long game.
0:29:26.223 --> 0:29:27.845
I just think the rock adds a
0:29:27.905 --> 0:29:28.625
wrinkle to it.
0:29:29.166 --> 0:29:30.768
That would be interesting.
0:29:31.308 --> 0:29:31.949
But the rock,
0:29:32.529 --> 0:29:33.691
why would the high chief need
0:29:33.711 --> 0:29:34.070
a head of the,
0:29:35.051 --> 0:29:35.952
why would the high chief
0:29:35.992 --> 0:29:37.394
need to see that the head of the table?
0:29:39.644 --> 0:29:40.526
He is the table.
0:29:41.286 --> 0:29:41.566
Yeah.
0:29:42.526 --> 0:29:44.406
And that's why, to me,
0:29:45.208 --> 0:29:46.468
with how this breaks down,
0:29:46.968 --> 0:29:49.189
you know who should be in
0:29:49.368 --> 0:29:50.670
the rock story that he's
0:29:50.710 --> 0:29:52.211
trying to tell in the midst of all this?
0:29:53.971 --> 0:29:54.531
Jey Uso.
0:29:55.132 --> 0:29:55.291
Mm-hmm.
0:29:56.012 --> 0:29:58.594
Because Jey Uso is the one member,
0:29:59.234 --> 0:30:00.174
not with the family,
0:30:00.775 --> 0:30:02.135
but on the main roster.
0:30:02.596 --> 0:30:03.936
Jey Uso is the one that
0:30:03.957 --> 0:30:05.897
ain't the high chief or the tribal chief,
0:30:06.178 --> 0:30:07.739
but is obviously ascending
0:30:08.239 --> 0:30:09.720
without anybody.
0:30:09.779 --> 0:30:10.700
And they be like, yo,
0:30:11.980 --> 0:30:13.480
the Rock should really be on Raw.
0:30:13.500 --> 0:30:16.222
Like, hey, yo, you want it?
0:30:16.982 --> 0:30:18.983
You want to be a high chief in the family?
0:30:20.318 --> 0:30:21.480
Well, this is what it is.
0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:24.280
And the backstory for them is,
0:30:24.961 --> 0:30:25.961
I wrestled your pops.
0:30:27.321 --> 0:30:29.042
Your pops could thank me for
0:30:29.103 --> 0:30:32.525
his spot in the dynasty.
0:30:33.224 --> 0:30:35.605
Because he was who he was,
0:30:36.326 --> 0:30:38.106
but then he fought me when
0:30:38.167 --> 0:30:39.048
I was at my peak.
0:30:39.887 --> 0:30:41.249
So now you at your peak,
0:30:42.369 --> 0:30:45.070
time for you to do battle with me.
0:30:46.912 --> 0:30:48.071
And that's a more compelling
0:30:48.112 --> 0:30:48.992
story than what he's...
0:30:49.906 --> 0:30:52.847
inserting himself, pause, to do with Cody.
0:30:54.429 --> 0:30:55.808
Because, hey, listen, hey,
0:30:55.848 --> 0:30:57.289
when The Rock slapped Cody, I was like,
0:30:57.789 --> 0:30:59.891
oh, so we getting this match instead?
0:31:01.111 --> 0:31:02.250
So that was Roman going to do.
0:31:02.592 --> 0:31:03.531
Because, hey, look,
0:31:03.951 --> 0:31:05.553
Roman just sat there and was like, yo,
0:31:05.593 --> 0:31:06.232
man, that's whatever.
0:31:06.252 --> 0:31:08.233
Hey, bro, you already said you reneged.
0:31:08.294 --> 0:31:09.453
So you gave up your shot.
0:31:09.854 --> 0:31:10.354
You cool.
0:31:10.713 --> 0:31:11.835
So now The Rock slapped you.
0:31:13.038 --> 0:31:13.778
And we just like,
0:31:14.199 --> 0:31:15.661
so unless The Rock has a
0:31:15.701 --> 0:31:18.403
tune-up match between here
0:31:18.544 --> 0:31:19.585
and Elimination Chamber,
0:31:20.066 --> 0:31:21.728
I think he did that for no reason.
0:31:22.228 --> 0:31:25.291
So let me rewind this here.
0:31:25.311 --> 0:31:26.133
I just want to make sure I'm
0:31:26.173 --> 0:31:26.792
hearing this right.
0:31:27.534 --> 0:31:30.217
Are you saying that the most
0:31:30.277 --> 0:31:31.699
compelling match of WrestleMania...
0:31:35.213 --> 0:31:36.394
After the press conference,
0:31:36.994 --> 0:31:39.316
it's not even Roman Reigns versus Cody.
0:31:39.855 --> 0:31:41.257
It's The Rock versus Cody.
0:31:41.616 --> 0:31:42.317
Absolutely.
0:31:42.798 --> 0:31:44.598
We're talking about compelling matches.
0:31:45.578 --> 0:31:46.500
Ladies and gentlemen,
0:31:46.619 --> 0:31:47.880
please don't misconstrue it.
0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:49.121
Because look, hey look,
0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:53.383
I know Cody won the Royal Rumble.
0:31:54.663 --> 0:31:57.125
And he should face whichever
0:31:57.144 --> 0:31:59.566
champion he won at WrestleMania.
0:32:00.491 --> 0:32:02.513
But the press conference said, yo,
0:32:04.535 --> 0:32:06.115
this legend disrespected my
0:32:06.155 --> 0:32:07.597
pops and slapped the shit out of me.
0:32:09.019 --> 0:32:09.898
We got to scrap.
0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:12.740
That's what the press conference said,
0:32:12.801 --> 0:32:13.001
though.
0:32:13.721 --> 0:32:18.425
So in my view, yo, fam, nah, run my fade.
0:32:20.086 --> 0:32:20.667
In Philly,
0:32:20.948 --> 0:32:22.409
where people don't fuck with you
0:32:23.170 --> 0:32:24.711
and everybody loves me.
0:32:26.113 --> 0:32:27.273
And we'll get to this title
0:32:27.334 --> 0:32:28.075
nonsense later.
0:32:28.775 --> 0:32:31.217
Could you see a WrestleMania
0:32:31.257 --> 0:32:32.598
weekend that Cody Rhodes
0:32:32.659 --> 0:32:34.680
wrestles The Rock on night
0:32:34.941 --> 0:32:38.002
one and then Roman Reigns on night two?
0:32:39.463 --> 0:32:40.744
Honestly, yes.
0:32:41.786 --> 0:32:44.228
Because here's the other wild card, man.
0:32:44.268 --> 0:32:45.568
And we knew these elephants
0:32:45.589 --> 0:32:46.230
were in the room.
0:32:47.070 --> 0:32:48.311
CM Punk out.
0:32:48.852 --> 0:32:49.333
Surgery.
0:32:50.586 --> 0:32:53.287
Seth Rollins, 50-50 surgery.
0:32:53.646 --> 0:32:53.988
Plus,
0:32:54.367 --> 0:32:57.088
I got Damian Priest cashing in at
0:32:57.229 --> 0:32:58.329
WrestleMania anyway,
0:32:58.630 --> 0:33:02.991
no matter what that shit said.
0:33:03.211 --> 0:33:04.492
No matter what that clip in
0:33:04.512 --> 0:33:05.893
that headline said, hey, look,
0:33:06.012 --> 0:33:07.153
I got Damian Priest still
0:33:07.173 --> 0:33:08.894
cashing in on Seth Rollins
0:33:08.934 --> 0:33:10.295
or whoever in that World
0:33:10.335 --> 0:33:11.135
Heavyweight title.
0:33:11.895 --> 0:33:13.616
And how do you counter a
0:33:13.757 --> 0:33:15.817
two-night main event WrestleMania title?
0:33:17.580 --> 0:33:19.340
double down on who's
0:33:19.661 --> 0:33:21.622
obviously the hottest face
0:33:21.682 --> 0:33:22.642
in the company which is
0:33:22.761 --> 0:33:28.343
Cody Rhodes okay so where
0:33:28.383 --> 0:33:29.623
does that leave Seth
0:33:29.823 --> 0:33:31.784
freaking Rollins in your
0:33:31.824 --> 0:33:36.963
opinion it's tricky because
0:33:38.424 --> 0:33:39.644
it ain't that he won't have
0:33:39.724 --> 0:33:45.826
a worthy opponent but shoot even now Seth
0:33:47.335 --> 0:33:49.217
the biggest match on deck
0:33:49.317 --> 0:33:52.298
for him is also Cody Rhodes.
0:33:53.420 --> 0:33:55.500
Because the only two people, like look,
0:33:56.701 --> 0:33:57.843
if we're just going with
0:33:57.883 --> 0:33:59.545
how this whole road started,
0:34:00.685 --> 0:34:02.686
Seth Rollins had two great
0:34:02.767 --> 0:34:03.827
matches on deck.
0:34:05.528 --> 0:34:07.790
Seth versus Cody, three or four,
0:34:09.472 --> 0:34:12.114
or Seth versus Punk, one.
0:34:13.456 --> 0:34:14.096
And now,
0:34:15.157 --> 0:34:16.478
neither one of them about to happen.
0:34:17.744 --> 0:34:19.467
Sorry and respect to Drew
0:34:19.507 --> 0:34:20.847
McIntyre because I see what
0:34:20.867 --> 0:34:22.969
he's doing and I'm not mad at the work.
0:34:23.889 --> 0:34:25.152
But right now, bro,
0:34:25.391 --> 0:34:27.693
you are not night one main
0:34:27.753 --> 0:34:28.755
event level and you're
0:34:28.914 --> 0:34:30.315
definitely not night two
0:34:30.356 --> 0:34:32.538
main event level right now where we sit.
0:34:33.099 --> 0:34:34.039
It ain't that year.
0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:35.681
I'm sorry.
0:34:37.061 --> 0:34:38.483
And really,
0:34:39.583 --> 0:34:43.246
the only other thing that would have...
0:34:44.181 --> 0:34:44.360
Well,
0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:45.842
there's a couple other things that work,
0:34:45.862 --> 0:34:47.543
but they're just not as big.
0:34:47.983 --> 0:34:48.443
Pause.
0:34:48.925 --> 0:34:51.465
And that's where it hurts, right?
0:34:52.166 --> 0:34:52.427
Pause.
0:34:52.447 --> 0:34:52.947
It was crazy.
0:34:52.967 --> 0:34:57.610
Because Gunther, Jey Uso, Drew McIntyre,
0:34:57.650 --> 0:34:58.030
hey, look,
0:34:58.070 --> 0:35:00.052
them versus Seth Rollins on any
0:35:00.152 --> 0:35:02.414
night or at any pay-per-view,
0:35:02.855 --> 0:35:05.976
it is headline, it's main event worthy,
0:35:06.518 --> 0:35:08.298
but unfortunately now,
0:35:08.702 --> 0:35:10.543
We have rock Cody Roman,
0:35:11.322 --> 0:35:12.623
and it's swirling around.
0:35:12.704 --> 0:35:13.844
It's the only thing being
0:35:13.923 --> 0:35:15.123
talked about while the
0:35:15.264 --> 0:35:16.344
other star is hurt.
0:35:17.324 --> 0:35:19.925
So you damn near can do
0:35:19.965 --> 0:35:20.985
WrestleMania with both
0:35:21.025 --> 0:35:22.346
titles in one night now,
0:35:23.106 --> 0:35:24.346
because now we've just
0:35:24.505 --> 0:35:28.987
further pushed down how important Cody's,
0:35:29.126 --> 0:35:32.987
I mean, Seth's title is for the weekend.
0:35:34.128 --> 0:35:35.487
It wasn't by design.
0:35:36.632 --> 0:35:39.173
But the injury report says, hey,
0:35:40.153 --> 0:35:41.474
we can't take the L in
0:35:41.514 --> 0:35:42.335
Philly when we're doing
0:35:42.355 --> 0:35:43.974
these two-night WrestleManias now.
0:35:44.474 --> 0:35:45.976
And that's the unfortunate
0:35:46.016 --> 0:35:46.675
part of all of this.
0:35:48.297 --> 0:35:50.257
Do you think that it would
0:35:50.317 --> 0:35:51.717
be good to see The Rock
0:35:51.797 --> 0:35:53.657
pivot to Seth Rollins?
0:35:55.798 --> 0:35:56.659
Because the thing is,
0:35:56.938 --> 0:35:58.639
they were the final four.
0:35:59.855 --> 0:36:01.135
On the stage together,
0:36:01.815 --> 0:36:04.735
they clearly took sides.
0:36:04.936 --> 0:36:06.617
If Seth is healthy,
0:36:07.177 --> 0:36:09.476
could this be a Rock and
0:36:09.536 --> 0:36:12.918
Roman versus Seth and Cody
0:36:13.358 --> 0:36:17.179
at Elimination Chamber in Perth?
0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:20.559
Or could we see a world
0:36:20.579 --> 0:36:23.681
where The Rock is like, nah, fam,
0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:25.880
we both need to be on top.
0:36:28.101 --> 0:36:29.222
I'll take your belt from you.
0:36:30.811 --> 0:36:32.251
There ain't nothing you can do about it.
0:36:33.293 --> 0:36:34.012
And then, you know,
0:36:34.092 --> 0:36:36.275
Seth just starts O-O-O-ing.
0:36:36.875 --> 0:36:38.596
And then you have Seth
0:36:38.755 --> 0:36:40.177
versus The Rock night one
0:36:40.617 --> 0:36:42.958
and Cody versus Roman night two.
0:36:43.599 --> 0:36:45.440
Is there a world where The
0:36:45.539 --> 0:36:47.222
Rock and Seth Rollins can
0:36:47.242 --> 0:36:48.601
match up at WrestleMania?
0:36:50.304 --> 0:36:50.744
It is.
0:36:51.885 --> 0:36:53.304
And I believe in Seth
0:36:53.405 --> 0:36:54.686
Rollins enough that where
0:36:54.746 --> 0:36:56.748
he will help sell this just
0:36:56.867 --> 0:36:58.889
based on his reaction on
0:36:58.949 --> 0:37:00.130
last Monday Night Raw.
0:37:01.246 --> 0:37:03.206
But here is my deal.
0:37:08.047 --> 0:37:11.487
That would make The Rock
0:37:12.648 --> 0:37:19.768
look like Eric Bischoff in 98.
0:37:19.768 --> 0:37:20.989
And on steroids.
0:37:21.190 --> 0:37:23.230
And that's not me making an allegation.
0:37:23.250 --> 0:37:23.530
Okay.
0:37:23.869 --> 0:37:29.311
Now, let me... Um...
0:37:31.836 --> 0:37:33.297
But is it The Rock like Eric
0:37:33.336 --> 0:37:34.458
Bischoff right now, though?
0:37:35.538 --> 0:37:36.237
Yeah.
0:37:36.539 --> 0:37:40.139
And look, he's well-known.
0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:42.119
The Rock owns two things.
0:37:42.699 --> 0:37:44.300
Well, he owns the XFL,
0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:46.882
and he now owns his name, The Rock.
0:37:48.262 --> 0:37:50.643
TKO Endeavor, The Rock,
0:37:51.422 --> 0:37:52.503
and all that information.
0:37:54.224 --> 0:37:57.585
So it's wild now that with
0:37:57.704 --> 0:37:59.606
all this paperwork and business,
0:38:00.728 --> 0:38:01.849
that's being done,
0:38:02.728 --> 0:38:04.650
now The Rock can just say, hey,
0:38:04.851 --> 0:38:06.552
I'm in the main event at WrestleMania.
0:38:06.632 --> 0:38:07.492
I don't know what the fuck
0:38:07.512 --> 0:38:09.454
y'all talking about.
0:38:09.974 --> 0:38:11.614
See, that's the wild part.
0:38:12.074 --> 0:38:13.436
And then him competing for a
0:38:13.516 --> 0:38:15.456
major title that's competed frequently,
0:38:15.878 --> 0:38:16.838
it's like, bro,
0:38:18.699 --> 0:38:20.300
I think you need to
0:38:20.340 --> 0:38:22.001
revitalize Austin Theory
0:38:22.061 --> 0:38:23.543
again and you do your Rock
0:38:23.603 --> 0:38:24.923
vs. Austin and this is the
0:38:25.003 --> 0:38:26.003
one that you can clean up
0:38:26.063 --> 0:38:28.425
and wash in Philly.
0:38:28.585 --> 0:38:29.786
That's what I think you should do.
0:38:30.675 --> 0:38:33.697
i it's just look if if maybe
0:38:33.757 --> 0:38:38.440
the rock was just 40 or 38
0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:40.601
maybe it doesn't smell as
0:38:40.681 --> 0:38:42.041
bad as it does him doing
0:38:42.061 --> 0:38:45.023
it's like what 52 like
0:38:45.063 --> 0:38:47.264
because hey yo hey listen
0:38:47.364 --> 0:38:48.726
I'm gonna stand on this and
0:38:48.746 --> 0:38:50.547
then it's no disrespect for
0:38:50.567 --> 0:38:53.048
the rock at all but I don't
0:38:53.168 --> 0:38:54.150
want to see the rock
0:38:54.190 --> 0:38:55.710
competing for major titles
0:38:56.655 --> 0:38:57.496
Against anybody.
0:38:58.076 --> 0:38:58.675
I don't want to see him
0:38:58.695 --> 0:38:59.597
against Roman Reigns.
0:38:59.976 --> 0:39:01.936
I don't want to see it against Seth, Cody,
0:39:02.237 --> 0:39:04.757
Jay, Gunther, anybody.
0:39:05.018 --> 0:39:06.898
Because that ain't where the
0:39:06.938 --> 0:39:08.079
game is right now.
0:39:08.259 --> 0:39:09.559
That ain't what we need.
0:39:10.398 --> 0:39:13.300
And that's why I love the promo,
0:39:13.639 --> 0:39:14.780
that Triple H cut.
0:39:15.420 --> 0:39:16.500
It was like, look, man,
0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:19.081
you need to know your role now.
0:39:20.418 --> 0:39:21.239
Like, hey, look,
0:39:21.278 --> 0:39:22.500
if I ain't putting myself
0:39:22.579 --> 0:39:23.840
out here no more like that,
0:39:24.081 --> 0:39:25.201
and I wasn't a faction,
0:39:25.782 --> 0:39:27.043
that the authority,
0:39:27.103 --> 0:39:28.744
and even in the authority,
0:39:28.784 --> 0:39:29.664
Triple H was giving his
0:39:29.704 --> 0:39:31.025
title matches to Seth
0:39:31.045 --> 0:39:32.425
Rollins and Kevin Owens.
0:39:34.027 --> 0:39:35.188
Like, see, that's the thing.
0:39:36.347 --> 0:39:37.748
We don't need The Rock
0:39:38.909 --> 0:39:40.090
really doing what's best
0:39:40.130 --> 0:39:41.492
for business and then going
0:39:41.532 --> 0:39:42.632
into business for himself
0:39:42.731 --> 0:39:43.932
at the same damn time.
0:39:44.253 --> 0:39:44.693
Yeah.
0:39:46.795 --> 0:39:47.215
Yeah.
0:39:47.976 --> 0:39:48.115
Um...
0:39:50.394 --> 0:39:51.516
So I think we've talked
0:39:51.536 --> 0:39:52.556
about that a little bit
0:39:52.615 --> 0:39:55.516
enough where we can see
0:39:55.556 --> 0:39:56.617
what happens with that.
0:39:56.717 --> 0:39:58.418
But yeah, just to put a bow on it.
0:40:02.059 --> 0:40:03.219
I don't think the fans had
0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:04.719
anything to do with this pivot.
0:40:05.500 --> 0:40:06.661
We just fell into the trap.
0:40:07.634 --> 0:40:09.775
It's easy for fans to fall into a trap,
0:40:10.396 --> 0:40:10.717
you know,
0:40:10.797 --> 0:40:13.639
because of the immediate nature
0:40:14.418 --> 0:40:16.001
that they would love wrestling to be.
0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:18.282
Get all the news from
0:40:18.603 --> 0:40:20.543
Meltzer and Fightful Select
0:40:20.985 --> 0:40:22.146
and all of these things,
0:40:22.246 --> 0:40:24.947
not realizing that those folks, too,
0:40:25.088 --> 0:40:26.909
can be duped and telling
0:40:26.929 --> 0:40:28.610
the story that they want
0:40:28.670 --> 0:40:31.313
you to know in order for
0:40:31.333 --> 0:40:32.634
the storyline to pass.
0:40:33.293 --> 0:40:33.414
Yeah.
0:40:34.389 --> 0:40:36.050
it would not shock me if
0:40:36.130 --> 0:40:37.769
this was the plan all alone.
0:40:38.231 --> 0:40:39.010
And they're just feeding
0:40:39.070 --> 0:40:40.791
information to people to
0:40:40.931 --> 0:40:43.213
provide the cover that they
0:40:43.273 --> 0:40:45.594
need to make sure that the
0:40:45.634 --> 0:40:47.434
storyline goes through.
0:40:48.494 --> 0:40:49.235
However,
0:40:49.255 --> 0:40:52.896
a couple of things that got up in
0:40:52.916 --> 0:40:56.217
the docket is let's go back
0:40:56.257 --> 0:40:57.119
to Seth Rollins.
0:40:57.659 --> 0:40:58.778
Like we've mentioned,
0:40:58.878 --> 0:41:00.480
what could be next for Seth Rollins?
0:41:01.019 --> 0:41:02.001
You know, could it be that,
0:41:03.742 --> 0:41:07.103
a situation where we see him
0:41:07.164 --> 0:41:08.045
versus The Rock?
0:41:09.485 --> 0:41:10.846
Or is it somebody else that
0:41:10.865 --> 0:41:11.646
we need to be paying
0:41:11.686 --> 0:41:13.867
attention to outside of Drew McIntyre?
0:41:14.306 --> 0:41:15.407
Because it looks like all
0:41:15.447 --> 0:41:16.668
leads to Drew McIntyre
0:41:16.688 --> 0:41:17.608
getting his title shot.
0:41:18.108 --> 0:41:18.347
Yeah.
0:41:18.668 --> 0:41:21.489
But could we be looking at
0:41:21.568 --> 0:41:22.570
this a bit wrong?
0:41:24.210 --> 0:41:24.750
Absolutely.
0:41:25.030 --> 0:41:25.931
We absolutely are.
0:41:26.510 --> 0:41:27.630
And that's why I'm curious
0:41:27.690 --> 0:41:29.672
about Elimination Chamber.
0:41:30.793 --> 0:41:31.893
Because I'll tell you what.
0:41:33.358 --> 0:41:35.239
The wild card in all of this,
0:41:35.260 --> 0:41:36.260
which changed my mind on a
0:41:36.340 --> 0:41:37.402
few different things,
0:41:38.521 --> 0:41:39.682
was the simple fact that
0:41:39.722 --> 0:41:42.525
they finally hit the button
0:41:42.585 --> 0:41:44.186
on Gunther versus Jey Uso.
0:41:45.206 --> 0:41:48.128
And you know, and all of our listeners,
0:41:48.148 --> 0:41:48.909
y'all know as well,
0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:51.362
When they confirmed the
0:41:51.442 --> 0:41:54.143
trade that Cody just put through,
0:41:54.164 --> 0:41:56.164
I was like, yo,
0:41:56.844 --> 0:41:58.005
the best thing for him to
0:41:58.065 --> 0:41:59.286
do right now is take a
0:41:59.327 --> 0:42:01.148
mid-card title off of somebody.
0:42:01.668 --> 0:42:02.889
So he should be the U.S.
0:42:02.929 --> 0:42:04.570
champ or the Intercontinental champ,
0:42:05.010 --> 0:42:07.532
that being Jey Uso, week one.
0:42:08.599 --> 0:42:11.681
so the fact that we got now
0:42:11.740 --> 0:42:12.900
gunther as the longest
0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:13.681
running intercontinental
0:42:13.722 --> 0:42:15.161
champion ever he's cutting
0:42:15.181 --> 0:42:16.842
some amazing promos by the
0:42:16.882 --> 0:42:19.884
way and his and his
0:42:19.983 --> 0:42:21.985
character is on 10 million
0:42:22.025 --> 0:42:24.206
right now in my eyes it's
0:42:24.367 --> 0:42:26.668
uh it's only right that the
0:42:26.748 --> 0:42:28.768
two hottest guys that ain't
0:42:28.789 --> 0:42:29.789
got nothing to do with
0:42:29.909 --> 0:42:31.409
either main event of the night
0:42:32.438 --> 0:42:34.179
Go heads ahead at WrestleMania.
0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:36.661
I don't think it's... I
0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:37.880
don't think it should... Well,
0:42:37.961 --> 0:42:38.902
it could kick it off like
0:42:38.961 --> 0:42:39.842
it's worthy of it.
0:42:39.862 --> 0:42:40.623
Don't get me wrong.
0:42:40.682 --> 0:42:41.884
But I think we need to move
0:42:42.463 --> 0:42:44.105
whatever night they're going to be on,
0:42:44.585 --> 0:42:46.007
move that to the middle of the night.
0:42:46.206 --> 0:42:47.748
Because that's going to be a
0:42:47.807 --> 0:42:50.028
big night for both
0:42:50.108 --> 0:42:52.090
competitors and for the
0:42:52.110 --> 0:42:53.050
Intercontinental title.
0:42:54.152 --> 0:42:56.853
So with that said, there is...
0:43:00.250 --> 0:43:01.871
There's still a chance that
0:43:01.911 --> 0:43:02.791
there's something,
0:43:03.532 --> 0:43:05.373
there's a greater story, if you will,
0:43:05.414 --> 0:43:06.235
because that's the thing.
0:43:06.235 --> 0:43:07.976
2024, we're just going to tell stories,
0:43:08.315 --> 0:43:08.516
right?
0:43:09.097 --> 0:43:10.657
There's still a great story
0:43:10.677 --> 0:43:12.458
to be told with Seth Rollins,
0:43:13.639 --> 0:43:15.121
but I think even they
0:43:15.181 --> 0:43:16.623
worried about how healthy
0:43:16.682 --> 0:43:17.983
he's going to be for that
0:43:18.063 --> 0:43:19.043
story to be told.
0:43:21.346 --> 0:43:21.806
Yeah, well,
0:43:21.867 --> 0:43:24.148
we will see going into the road
0:43:24.168 --> 0:43:25.568
to WrestleMania how that looks,
0:43:26.469 --> 0:43:27.291
but definitely want to move
0:43:27.371 --> 0:43:28.070
on to the ladies.
0:43:28.512 --> 0:43:29.773
This is for the ladies.
0:43:32.115 --> 0:43:36.657
for the ladies so who should
0:43:36.739 --> 0:43:38.960
face Rhea Ripley at
0:43:39.059 --> 0:43:40.219
WrestleMania 40 they're
0:43:40.260 --> 0:43:40.860
going through their
0:43:40.880 --> 0:43:42.121
elimination chamber plus
0:43:42.541 --> 0:43:43.922
she's going up against Nia
0:43:43.961 --> 0:43:46.224
Jax at elimination chamber
0:43:46.623 --> 0:43:47.523
more than likely that's
0:43:47.543 --> 0:43:48.425
going to be the last match
0:43:48.485 --> 0:43:49.985
of the night can't see any
0:43:50.025 --> 0:43:51.385
match different because
0:43:51.405 --> 0:43:52.527
Rhea Ripley is going to be
0:43:52.586 --> 0:43:56.068
home who should face Rhea
0:43:56.128 --> 0:43:58.230
Ripley for the Raw Women's
0:43:58.250 --> 0:44:01.612
Championship I mean
0:44:04.818 --> 0:44:06.199
realistically for where we
0:44:06.358 --> 0:44:07.500
are it's supposed to be
0:44:07.539 --> 0:44:08.860
bianca belair at this point
0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:11.483
it is but that ain't gonna
0:44:11.503 --> 0:44:17.686
happen um and it looks like
0:44:18.047 --> 0:44:19.867
they just don't think ria
0:44:19.907 --> 0:44:21.548
versus naya is wrestlemania
0:44:21.588 --> 0:44:22.650
worthy that's I guess
0:44:22.670 --> 0:44:23.590
that's what it looks like I
0:44:23.610 --> 0:44:28.534
guess yeah so that means
0:44:28.873 --> 0:44:32.257
that they're for heat check purposes only
0:44:33.137 --> 0:44:35.057
My heat check purposes only
0:44:35.157 --> 0:44:37.297
pick is Becky Lynch.
0:44:38.579 --> 0:44:39.679
Again, not because I want it.
0:44:40.998 --> 0:44:41.960
Not because I even think
0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:43.340
it's going to be a match like that.
0:44:43.639 --> 0:44:45.061
It shouldn't be a match like
0:44:45.121 --> 0:44:47.320
that based on what we've been seeing.
0:44:48.121 --> 0:44:50.681
But, I mean, hey,
0:44:52.023 --> 0:44:53.762
Rhea Ripley versus Becky Lynch.
0:44:54.762 --> 0:44:56.603
That's the prize fight.
0:44:57.483 --> 0:44:58.123
That's the...
0:45:02.105 --> 0:45:03.606
mayweather versus canelo
0:45:04.346 --> 0:45:06.686
that's what that is you
0:45:06.706 --> 0:45:07.748
know what I mean it's like
0:45:07.807 --> 0:45:09.969
yo hey look at least now
0:45:10.009 --> 0:45:10.768
you're getting at least 10
0:45:10.768 --> 0:45:11.750
million to fight come on
0:45:11.789 --> 0:45:13.771
like we gotta do this you
0:45:13.811 --> 0:45:15.791
know we you don't need this
0:45:17.273 --> 0:45:19.193
but your bank account will
0:45:19.213 --> 0:45:20.755
thank you later for this
0:45:21.454 --> 0:45:22.695
one and that's how I look
0:45:22.795 --> 0:45:28.378
at it yeah um I'm all in on
0:45:28.418 --> 0:45:29.719
real ripley versus bianca
0:45:29.739 --> 0:45:30.820
belle I think it's time
0:45:31.786 --> 0:45:34.047
But I can also see Jade
0:45:34.108 --> 0:45:37.710
Cargill and Bianca Belair getting there.
0:45:38.130 --> 0:45:40.891
Tony Atlas and Soul Patrol
0:45:40.972 --> 0:45:43.673
Rocky Johnson on it and
0:45:43.773 --> 0:45:45.875
winning the women's tag
0:45:45.914 --> 0:45:47.416
team championships from the
0:45:47.476 --> 0:45:48.356
Kabuki Warriors.
0:45:49.016 --> 0:45:50.217
Now, go ahead.
0:45:50.257 --> 0:45:53.920
I was going to say, yeah, you know what?
0:45:54.161 --> 0:45:54.460
I mean...
0:45:56.146 --> 0:45:57.748
To get Bianca Miller out the
0:45:57.768 --> 0:46:00.088
way while developing the next young,
0:46:00.208 --> 0:46:01.548
fresh talent, the bet,
0:46:01.568 --> 0:46:02.588
the big free agent.
0:46:03.289 --> 0:46:04.590
It makes sense to do that
0:46:05.090 --> 0:46:06.289
because Bianca is going to
0:46:06.329 --> 0:46:08.090
make everybody look good around her.
0:46:08.751 --> 0:46:10.311
But now you also get a
0:46:10.371 --> 0:46:12.311
chance to make somebody
0:46:12.331 --> 0:46:14.813
look good with you, which, you know,
0:46:15.012 --> 0:46:15.413
it's also,
0:46:15.432 --> 0:46:17.273
it's always a unique opportunity and they,
0:46:17.293 --> 0:46:18.514
they only call the best of
0:46:18.554 --> 0:46:19.414
the best to do that.
0:46:19.574 --> 0:46:20.594
That's why Bailey and
0:46:20.614 --> 0:46:22.094
Natalia have been the main
0:46:22.195 --> 0:46:23.275
ones doing that for so long.
0:46:23.635 --> 0:46:23.856
Yeah.
0:46:26.188 --> 0:46:27.889
Mercedes Monet is reportedly
0:46:27.929 --> 0:46:29.530
allegedly headed to AEW.
0:46:29.929 --> 0:46:37.755
Does this get you interested in AEW?
0:46:39.615 --> 0:46:40.516
Short answer, no.
0:46:43.137 --> 0:46:44.159
And the reason that's the
0:46:44.179 --> 0:46:45.378
short answer is because
0:46:46.719 --> 0:46:48.661
Mercedes or Sasha don't got
0:46:48.701 --> 0:46:49.621
nothing to prove over there.
0:46:50.521 --> 0:46:51.862
She beat all the good girls
0:46:51.902 --> 0:46:52.503
over there already.
0:46:52.903 --> 0:46:53.304
I've seen it.
0:46:57.286 --> 0:46:58.648
It don't move the needle for me.
0:47:02.351 --> 0:47:04.172
But I'm excited to see her on TV again.
0:47:04.831 --> 0:47:05.373
There you go.
0:47:06.172 --> 0:47:06.914
No, I will say this.
0:47:06.934 --> 0:47:08.655
I'm excited to see her on TV again.
0:47:09.315 --> 0:47:10.637
She should have not been
0:47:10.697 --> 0:47:13.539
away from the TV that long.
0:47:14.119 --> 0:47:16.201
I'm interested to see... I'm
0:47:16.260 --> 0:47:17.521
interested to see how her
0:47:17.581 --> 0:47:18.943
character is going to be utilized.
0:47:19.782 --> 0:47:25.387
You know, but other than that... Like,
0:47:25.467 --> 0:47:25.847
you know...
0:47:28.188 --> 0:47:29.449
I do hope we don't get Jay
0:47:29.489 --> 0:47:35.092
Cargill in the tag team with our girl.
0:47:36.753 --> 0:47:37.974
I think that's going to happen,
0:47:39.014 --> 0:47:40.916
but come on.
0:47:42.617 --> 0:47:43.657
They should collide,
0:47:44.798 --> 0:47:52.003
not tag and then collide.
0:47:52.182 --> 0:47:53.403
Let's go back to the rock
0:47:53.423 --> 0:47:54.364
thing real quick.
0:47:55.625 --> 0:47:56.565
The High Chiefs stuff.
0:47:58.717 --> 0:48:00.197
Like, for those who don't know,
0:48:00.496 --> 0:48:02.717
Rock was given the title of
0:48:02.797 --> 0:48:06.139
High Chief due to his contribution,
0:48:06.179 --> 0:48:09.059
excuse me, to Samoans in various aspects.
0:48:10.099 --> 0:48:11.159
The sixth prime minister,
0:48:11.179 --> 0:48:12.561
I'm not going to pronounce his name,
0:48:13.760 --> 0:48:17.101
even proposed apparently a
0:48:17.222 --> 0:48:18.541
register of Samoan heritage
0:48:18.561 --> 0:48:19.782
living overseas to honor
0:48:20.282 --> 0:48:21.782
Johnson's request in Fast
0:48:21.922 --> 0:48:23.143
and Furious movies.
0:48:23.164 --> 0:48:23.784
Wow, that is...
0:48:24.827 --> 0:48:25.887
A lot of stuff going there.
0:48:26.668 --> 0:48:29.231
But the prime minister has
0:48:30.411 --> 0:48:32.914
named the rock said Louie.
0:48:33.534 --> 0:48:35.077
And apparently when he
0:48:35.277 --> 0:48:38.840
responds to his German, excuse me, German,
0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:42.083
when the rock responds to his Samoan
0:48:43.119 --> 0:48:44.280
people in his heritage,
0:48:44.780 --> 0:48:46.541
he doesn't say Dwayne Johnson.
0:48:46.581 --> 0:48:49.182
He says, say Louie.
0:48:49.302 --> 0:48:52.103
So that's very interesting right there.
0:48:52.864 --> 0:48:55.065
Two, that he's a high chief.
0:48:55.106 --> 0:48:56.226
And if you go look at that,
0:48:56.266 --> 0:48:57.146
I said it earlier,
0:48:57.527 --> 0:48:59.367
but if you go look at that bloodline list,
0:48:59.527 --> 0:49:00.768
it does not have Roman
0:49:00.827 --> 0:49:03.550
Reigns' name attached to it.
0:49:09.012 --> 0:49:10.652
What are your thoughts on
0:49:12.972 --> 0:49:13.913
What are your thoughts on
0:49:13.952 --> 0:49:16.094
the bloodline in general?
0:49:17.034 --> 0:49:18.434
The ones that's inside WWE
0:49:19.215 --> 0:49:20.356
and the ones that's out.
0:49:22.277 --> 0:49:24.998
Is this, we talked about this before,
0:49:25.057 --> 0:49:25.898
but I want to just go a
0:49:25.958 --> 0:49:27.398
little bit in detail before
0:49:27.438 --> 0:49:28.980
we get to the favorite moments thing.
0:49:30.740 --> 0:49:32.842
Is it time for the WWE to
0:49:32.882 --> 0:49:34.443
announce and acknowledge
0:49:35.983 --> 0:49:39.184
that the Samoan dynasty is
0:49:39.224 --> 0:49:42.067
the greatest dynasty in wrestling?
0:49:43.222 --> 0:49:43.603
right now?
0:49:45.884 --> 0:49:48.503
I'm only going to say no for one reason,
0:49:50.085 --> 0:49:52.144
and that one reason is
0:49:53.204 --> 0:49:55.425
we've only seen two
0:49:55.505 --> 0:49:59.387
generations of them dominate wrestling.
0:49:59.467 --> 0:50:06.027
Well, this era, again,
0:50:07.929 --> 0:50:09.728
we're a little more savvy than most
0:50:11.001 --> 0:50:12.481
But a lot of people didn't
0:50:12.521 --> 0:50:14.284
really see the alpha and seeka run.
0:50:14.304 --> 0:50:16.105
You know, they didn't see it.
0:50:17.166 --> 0:50:19.447
So they're probably living
0:50:19.487 --> 0:50:20.829
in the mindset of, yeah,
0:50:20.889 --> 0:50:22.791
Rikishi was cool and the
0:50:22.831 --> 0:50:24.472
Head Shrinkers might have been cool,
0:50:24.572 --> 0:50:26.052
but The Rock is the only
0:50:26.112 --> 0:50:26.914
one that dominated.
0:50:27.648 --> 0:50:28.688
And now we got The Rock and
0:50:28.708 --> 0:50:29.329
Roman Reigns is the only
0:50:29.369 --> 0:50:30.210
one that dominated.
0:50:30.769 --> 0:50:34.893
I think if you get Jey Uso
0:50:34.972 --> 0:50:35.733
in a spot where he
0:50:35.773 --> 0:50:37.914
dominates like that and two
0:50:38.014 --> 0:50:39.576
more family members,
0:50:39.896 --> 0:50:41.617
I'm not saying it's Solo or Jimmy.
0:50:42.177 --> 0:50:43.719
I'm saying maybe it's Jacob.
0:50:44.039 --> 0:50:46.460
I'm saying maybe they're
0:50:46.519 --> 0:50:49.842
acknowledging Nia Jax in this now.
0:50:50.182 --> 0:50:52.184
There has to be, I think,
0:50:52.603 --> 0:50:54.565
two other generations of
0:50:55.289 --> 0:50:59.512
of Inouye family members, man or woman,
0:50:59.992 --> 0:51:00.994
tag team or not.
0:51:01.634 --> 0:51:03.416
Because, I mean, again, Jimmy and Jay,
0:51:03.835 --> 0:51:05.117
they dominate the tag team ranks.
0:51:05.197 --> 0:51:07.539
But I think for that,
0:51:07.699 --> 0:51:09.280
what you're saying to solidify,
0:51:09.320 --> 0:51:10.780
I know these are the ones,
0:51:11.561 --> 0:51:12.563
all puns intended.
0:51:13.083 --> 0:51:15.324
I think two more, at least,
0:51:15.445 --> 0:51:18.067
if not three more solo
0:51:18.126 --> 0:51:20.009
superstars have to start
0:51:20.228 --> 0:51:21.510
dominating Inouye.
0:51:21.650 --> 0:51:23.431
specifically in the WWE
0:51:23.771 --> 0:51:25.271
before they make that claim
0:51:25.371 --> 0:51:29.514
because by proximity,
0:51:29.554 --> 0:51:30.494
you're kind of in a dead
0:51:30.554 --> 0:51:31.635
heat with only two of them
0:51:31.675 --> 0:51:32.275
running things.
0:51:32.817 --> 0:51:34.958
Like, you know what I mean?
0:51:35.117 --> 0:51:36.599
You could easily say that, eh,
0:51:37.980 --> 0:51:38.981
Vince Singer never had the
0:51:39.021 --> 0:51:40.981
wrestler match and he ran y'all.
0:51:41.362 --> 0:51:42.141
You know what I'm saying?
0:51:42.242 --> 0:51:43.222
It's the Nas line.
0:51:43.262 --> 0:51:44.563
Cleans niggas, run you niggas,
0:51:44.623 --> 0:51:45.423
ask Russell Simmons.
0:51:45.463 --> 0:51:46.164
It's kind of like that.
0:51:47.045 --> 0:51:47.864
I'm going to disagree with
0:51:47.885 --> 0:51:48.646
you a little bit, man.
0:51:48.666 --> 0:51:49.865
I think it's time for them
0:51:49.965 --> 0:51:54.007
to acknowledge that the Samoan dynasty,
0:51:54.047 --> 0:51:55.148
the Noai family,
0:51:55.927 --> 0:52:01.469
is the greatest family in
0:52:01.530 --> 0:52:02.869
at least the WWE.
0:52:04.271 --> 0:52:07.291
Maybe, you know, nationwide.
0:52:08.152 --> 0:52:11.012
They have their hands on everything.
0:52:11.032 --> 0:52:11.092
And...
0:52:15.896 --> 0:52:17.797
Definitely need to be
0:52:17.878 --> 0:52:19.400
acknowledged that Samoans
0:52:19.599 --> 0:52:21.041
ain't just wild barbarians
0:52:22.143 --> 0:52:24.284
that you're sticking with something.
0:52:27.228 --> 0:52:32.373
The Hart family is like... At this point,
0:52:32.753 --> 0:52:36.418
it's like... It's really
0:52:36.458 --> 0:52:37.559
only Brett and Owen, but...
0:52:38.088 --> 0:52:40.889
yeah it's right because but
0:52:40.929 --> 0:52:42.469
see hey but see but check
0:52:42.510 --> 0:52:44.570
it out again for the demo
0:52:45.210 --> 0:52:47.291
they'll be like well vince
0:52:47.331 --> 0:52:49.251
shane and stephanie versus
0:52:49.271 --> 0:52:52.753
stew brett and owen but
0:52:52.972 --> 0:52:55.934
natalia counts and uh jimmy
0:52:56.014 --> 0:52:57.655
anvil counts so you know
0:52:57.675 --> 0:52:59.335
what I mean like they'll do
0:52:59.876 --> 0:53:00.835
they'll move the goal post
0:53:00.856 --> 0:53:02.195
like that like oh baby boy
0:53:02.235 --> 0:53:03.916
smith counts it's like yeah
0:53:03.956 --> 0:53:05.436
look if you want to look at
0:53:05.597 --> 0:53:07.237
if you look at that bloodline
0:53:08.322 --> 0:53:09.862
family tree that they placed
0:53:10.023 --> 0:53:11.403
up at the press conference.
0:53:11.985 --> 0:53:12.465
Stat.
0:53:15.186 --> 0:53:16.427
The Hart family can't do that.
0:53:16.447 --> 0:53:17.289
Right.
0:53:19.610 --> 0:53:20.210
They can't.
0:53:21.391 --> 0:53:22.632
Yeah, they can't do that.
0:53:23.693 --> 0:53:23.853
Like,
0:53:23.893 --> 0:53:25.956
they can't put all of the adjacents
0:53:26.036 --> 0:53:28.717
and the non-adjacents up on
0:53:28.757 --> 0:53:30.679
the wall like the Rocknum did.
0:53:31.239 --> 0:53:31.460
Yeah.
0:53:33.681 --> 0:53:34.161
And listen,
0:53:34.442 --> 0:53:36.884
I'm with you off the aesthetic alone.
0:53:37.023 --> 0:53:37.945
And from what I know,
0:53:38.956 --> 0:53:42.119
But I would just,
0:53:44.240 --> 0:53:45.603
as long as people don't try
0:53:45.643 --> 0:53:47.605
to asterisk it and start it with The Rock,
0:53:48.726 --> 0:53:50.427
I'm 1000% with you.
0:53:51.608 --> 0:53:53.931
But the way this era reacts
0:53:54.771 --> 0:53:56.994
to ethnic dominance
0:53:58.206 --> 0:54:00.027
Let's run the table a couple more years.
0:54:00.728 --> 0:54:02.048
That way you can't say shit.
0:54:02.329 --> 0:54:02.528
Like,
0:54:02.929 --> 0:54:04.170
they run the table a couple more
0:54:04.210 --> 0:54:05.351
years and we get to 2034
0:54:05.351 --> 0:54:08.713
and it's still somebody
0:54:08.813 --> 0:54:11.556
from they family tree on top.
0:54:11.916 --> 0:54:15.219
It's like, okay, hey, we good here, right?
0:54:15.878 --> 0:54:17.360
You know the vibes now, right?
0:54:19.121 --> 0:54:20.181
You can't speak about this.
0:54:20.722 --> 0:54:23.083
So rank your WWE families in order.
0:54:24.686 --> 0:54:25.445
How does that look?
0:54:26.126 --> 0:54:26.347
Hmm.
0:54:27.938 --> 0:54:30.099
Definitely the No Eyes on Top.
0:54:30.400 --> 0:54:33.523
I got them at one.
0:54:35.545 --> 0:54:36.605
I would go... I mean,
0:54:38.867 --> 0:54:39.827
it makes it sound funny, man.
0:54:39.847 --> 0:54:41.329
I'm still going to make Man Family at two.
0:54:43.190 --> 0:54:49.275
I'll do... Because there's
0:54:49.536 --> 0:54:50.797
only three of them,
0:54:51.597 --> 0:54:53.300
I got to go Hart Family three,
0:54:53.380 --> 0:54:54.460
Rhodes Family four.
0:54:57.438 --> 0:54:57.998
And then I'm going to go to
0:54:58.018 --> 0:55:00.179
the Armstrong family at
0:55:00.320 --> 0:55:05.902
five because it's sneaky.
0:55:06.583 --> 0:55:07.422
It's sneaky.
0:55:08.184 --> 0:55:08.903
And then I got,
0:55:09.704 --> 0:55:10.925
because there's only two of them,
0:55:10.945 --> 0:55:12.666
I got the Orton's at six.
0:55:16.268 --> 0:55:16.768
Yeah.
0:55:18.289 --> 0:55:19.309
I think I'm at the point
0:55:19.670 --> 0:55:21.050
that I need the Samoan
0:55:21.090 --> 0:55:22.291
dynasty at number one.
0:55:24.552 --> 0:55:25.193
Heart family.
0:55:27.827 --> 0:55:31.650
at number two but I believe
0:55:31.710 --> 0:55:34.092
that Cody has a chance to
0:55:34.193 --> 0:55:38.396
rewrite all of that and
0:55:39.657 --> 0:55:41.559
have his family truly in
0:55:41.579 --> 0:55:44.623
the conversation truly in
0:55:44.643 --> 0:55:47.405
the conversation and we'll
0:55:47.465 --> 0:55:48.365
see what happens from there
0:55:48.925 --> 0:55:51.849
I mean before because we
0:55:51.869 --> 0:55:52.849
pretty much caught up
0:55:52.989 --> 0:55:54.391
before we get out of here though
0:55:55.431 --> 0:55:56.711
um you know we in the road
0:55:56.751 --> 0:55:58.233
to wrestlemania and I have
0:55:58.333 --> 0:56:01.315
been I've been watching
0:56:01.375 --> 0:56:05.518
wrestling I've watched the
0:56:05.597 --> 0:56:09.340
first sixth wrestlemania's
0:56:09.360 --> 0:56:14.463
okay um I'm gonna continue
0:56:14.503 --> 0:56:15.905
doing this until we get to
0:56:16.585 --> 0:56:17.867
wrestlemania um
0:56:17.867 --> 0:56:22.672
40. okay so I want to break
0:56:22.693 --> 0:56:26.634
this down from the first
0:56:28.074 --> 0:56:30.496
five years of wrestlemania
0:56:30.516 --> 0:56:32.335
okay wrestlemania one
0:56:32.376 --> 0:56:33.376
wrestlemania six
0:56:33.396 --> 0:56:35.577
wrestlemania six tokyo dome
0:56:36.476 --> 0:56:40.619
and uh toronto no um
0:56:40.679 --> 0:56:42.338
Madison Square Garden yeah
0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:44.000
uh Madison Square Garden
0:56:45.353 --> 0:56:47.293
Um, for one,
0:56:48.275 --> 0:56:50.175
what is some of your favorite
0:56:50.375 --> 0:56:53.275
WrestleMania moments from that?
0:56:54.255 --> 0:56:58.297
No, those first couple of years, 85 to 90.
0:56:58.297 --> 0:57:04.378
Well, man, the first one is undoubtedly,
0:57:04.398 --> 0:57:08.358
uh, the macho man running the table, uh,
0:57:08.418 --> 0:57:10.498
the tournament at WrestleMania four.
0:57:11.353 --> 0:57:12.614
that WrestleMania 4 will
0:57:12.695 --> 0:57:14.695
always be in my top 3 to
0:57:14.735 --> 0:57:16.476
top 5 WrestleManias because
0:57:16.556 --> 0:57:17.556
that is the one that made
0:57:17.597 --> 0:57:18.976
me a real wrestling fan.
0:57:20.077 --> 0:57:22.177
I was kind of spot watching before then.
0:57:22.498 --> 0:57:23.478
Shout out to Kenny Lewis.
0:57:23.518 --> 0:57:24.458
Shout out to all my cousins
0:57:24.518 --> 0:57:25.559
and friends at that time.
0:57:26.320 --> 0:57:27.820
But once I rented
0:57:28.860 --> 0:57:31.983
WrestleMania 4 on VHS from
0:57:32.023 --> 0:57:33.003
I think it was Stars and
0:57:33.023 --> 0:57:34.123
Stripes video the first
0:57:34.182 --> 0:57:34.903
time I ever seen it.
0:57:34.923 --> 0:57:36.985
It was one before Blockbuster in Freeport.
0:57:38.204 --> 0:57:39.925
I watched that and
0:57:41.346 --> 0:57:45.547
I was so overly compelled with that one.
0:57:46.407 --> 0:57:47.708
Because at first, you know, it was like,
0:57:47.748 --> 0:57:48.027
damn,
0:57:48.068 --> 0:57:49.027
Hulk Hogan ain't going to be in the
0:57:49.047 --> 0:57:50.327
tournament no more.
0:57:50.748 --> 0:57:52.088
But the story that the
0:57:52.128 --> 0:57:53.469
Monster Man told from start
0:57:53.489 --> 0:57:55.148
to finish that night was epic.
0:57:55.769 --> 0:57:57.590
So that's always going to be my number one,
0:57:58.110 --> 0:57:58.989
especially if we're talking
0:57:59.010 --> 0:57:59.731
the first five.
0:58:02.231 --> 0:58:06.952
I would say another moment,
0:58:08.273 --> 0:58:09.512
favorite moment, though.
0:58:16.356 --> 0:58:17.478
That's a little difficult.
0:58:18.838 --> 0:58:20.599
Because I'm not going to lie to you.
0:58:22.518 --> 0:58:23.440
The next one that comes to
0:58:23.460 --> 0:58:24.559
my mind is the obvious
0:58:24.579 --> 0:58:26.320
heartbreak of the Ultimate
0:58:26.380 --> 0:58:30.061
Warrior pinning Hulk Hogan.
0:58:30.282 --> 0:58:31.461
I was a big Hulk Hogan fan.
0:58:31.902 --> 0:58:32.942
It ain't a favorite moment,
0:58:33.643 --> 0:58:36.463
but it's a soul-crushing
0:58:36.543 --> 0:58:37.643
one for an old
0:58:37.784 --> 0:58:39.204
nine-year-old camp from the port.
0:58:39.583 --> 0:58:40.065
Like it is.
0:58:44.434 --> 0:58:47.255
Hey, believe it or not,
0:58:48.496 --> 0:58:50.958
the very par performance of
0:58:51.038 --> 0:58:57.340
Run DMC at WrestleMania 5.
0:58:57.340 --> 0:58:58.402
Another favorite moment.
0:58:59.929 --> 0:59:01.931
Roddy Piper, Morton Downey Jr.,
0:59:01.951 --> 0:59:03.791
I think the name was.
0:59:04.231 --> 0:59:05.052
Piper's pick,
0:59:05.072 --> 0:59:06.472
because that was when Piper
0:59:06.492 --> 0:59:07.594
officially turned face.
0:59:08.414 --> 0:59:10.094
I won't front to y'all.
0:59:10.815 --> 0:59:11.916
I ain't going to act like
0:59:12.677 --> 0:59:14.777
I'm super match moment heavy.
0:59:15.458 --> 0:59:16.557
So don't expect me to say
0:59:16.619 --> 0:59:19.260
King Kong Bundy versus Hogan in the cage.
0:59:19.420 --> 0:59:20.159
No, it ain't.
0:59:20.539 --> 0:59:21.141
It ain't there.
0:59:21.940 --> 0:59:24.083
Um, hey, and at the same time,
0:59:24.523 --> 0:59:25.844
because I didn't appreciate
0:59:25.864 --> 0:59:26.844
it in real time.
0:59:27.445 --> 0:59:28.706
I'm not about to cape like
0:59:28.806 --> 0:59:30.789
Steamboat Savage was my shit.
0:59:30.869 --> 0:59:31.708
I was five.
0:59:32.030 --> 0:59:32.210
I mean,
0:59:32.230 --> 0:59:33.411
I was like I was like seven or
0:59:33.451 --> 0:59:34.070
eight years old.
0:59:34.592 --> 0:59:36.353
That wasn't my my bag.
0:59:37.293 --> 0:59:37.393
Um.
0:59:39.068 --> 0:59:41.489
Really, I just... To me,
0:59:41.628 --> 0:59:43.588
all of my matches would
0:59:43.668 --> 0:59:45.949
fall into the tournament
0:59:46.550 --> 0:59:49.190
and everything Hogan, Savage, Warrior.
0:59:49.291 --> 0:59:50.150
Those are mine.
0:59:50.670 --> 0:59:51.630
I'm going to stick to the
0:59:51.670 --> 0:59:54.112
script of being an 80s baby
0:59:54.211 --> 0:59:55.833
and a real child in the 80s.
0:59:56.112 --> 0:59:58.273
I'm giving you all the random moments.
0:59:58.652 --> 1:00:00.474
And every time I saw Hulk Hogan,
1:00:00.733 --> 1:00:01.693
the Ultimate Warrior,
1:00:01.813 --> 1:00:03.454
and the Macho Man Randy Savage,
1:00:04.255 --> 1:00:05.614
I'm not here to cape and cap.
1:00:06.335 --> 1:00:06.635
Yeah.
1:00:07.476 --> 1:00:07.695
So...
1:00:08.931 --> 1:00:11.072
I have an analogy, y'all,
1:00:12.231 --> 1:00:15.753
to bring wrestling and hip-hop together.
1:00:17.132 --> 1:00:19.233
WrestleMania 4 is the In My
1:00:19.293 --> 1:00:23.074
Lifetime Volume 1 of wrestling.
1:00:23.094 --> 1:00:23.914
There we go.
1:00:24.034 --> 1:00:24.855
Let's talk about it.
1:00:25.614 --> 1:00:27.356
The way y'all disrespect
1:00:27.876 --> 1:00:32.197
WrestleMania 4 is getting on my nerves.
1:00:33.972 --> 1:00:35.315
Just like I hate when people
1:00:35.675 --> 1:00:38.117
disrespect Jay-Z's In My
1:00:38.177 --> 1:00:40.260
Lifetime Volume 1.
1:00:40.260 --> 1:00:43.184
I hate when y'all disrespect it.
1:00:43.344 --> 1:00:45.726
It had imaginary players in there.
1:00:45.746 --> 1:00:47.068
It had where I'm from.
1:00:47.929 --> 1:00:49.590
You know, it had streets just watching.
1:00:50.492 --> 1:00:52.414
I could go on and on, but...
1:00:53.675 --> 1:00:55.315
WrestleMania 4 gave you
1:00:55.574 --> 1:00:57.876
Macho Man versus Ted
1:00:57.916 --> 1:01:00.556
DiBiase in the dramatic match.
1:01:01.157 --> 1:01:02.996
It gave you Andre the Giant
1:01:03.036 --> 1:01:06.458
versus Hulk Hogan in their
1:01:06.557 --> 1:01:07.697
disqualification.
1:01:08.478 --> 1:01:10.298
It gave you the emergence of
1:01:10.358 --> 1:01:11.659
the Ultimate Warrior.
1:01:11.679 --> 1:01:13.898
It gave you the breakup of Strikeforce.
1:01:15.099 --> 1:01:16.159
Was the pay-per-view long?
1:01:16.179 --> 1:01:16.440
Yeah.
1:01:17.639 --> 1:01:18.701
But it was a good,
1:01:18.721 --> 1:01:20.423
it's a great pay-per-view, y'all.
1:01:21.224 --> 1:01:22.686
So please don't disrespect that.
1:01:23.869 --> 1:01:25.492
Another one.
1:01:29.668 --> 1:01:31.628
Another moment for me is
1:01:32.568 --> 1:01:34.570
Macho Man versus Randy Savage.
1:01:35.309 --> 1:01:36.730
Now, of course, I like you.
1:01:36.829 --> 1:01:37.771
I did not see this live,
1:01:37.811 --> 1:01:38.490
ladies and gentlemen.
1:01:38.851 --> 1:01:39.831
Yo, you tired.
1:01:39.851 --> 1:01:40.831
You said the Macho Man
1:01:40.891 --> 1:01:41.952
versus Randy Savage.
1:01:42.391 --> 1:01:42.972
Excuse me,
1:01:43.052 --> 1:01:46.233
Macho Man versus Ricky Steamboat.
1:01:46.452 --> 1:01:47.193
Excuse me.
1:01:47.333 --> 1:01:50.233
Hey, man, Macho Man in that name,
1:01:50.273 --> 1:01:51.514
G. Right.
1:01:53.195 --> 1:01:54.876
And I'm watching Raw at the same time.
1:01:55.934 --> 1:01:56.815
Okay.
1:01:57.715 --> 1:01:58.695
They got Seth up there.
1:02:00.376 --> 1:02:00.737
But no,
1:02:00.836 --> 1:02:02.557
Macho Man versus Ricky the Dragon
1:02:02.597 --> 1:02:03.137
Steamboat.
1:02:04.239 --> 1:02:05.940
So I didn't watch it live,
1:02:06.360 --> 1:02:10.202
but my mom had Columbia
1:02:10.242 --> 1:02:13.503
House and they had the best
1:02:13.543 --> 1:02:14.425
of WrestleMania.
1:02:15.905 --> 1:02:17.387
That's when I finally saw
1:02:18.557 --> 1:02:20.338
hogan andre the giant that's
1:02:20.358 --> 1:02:21.380
when I finally saw
1:02:22.079 --> 1:02:25.722
steamboat and um steamboat
1:02:26.061 --> 1:02:27.902
and macho man that's why I
1:02:27.922 --> 1:02:30.244
saw macho man and the
1:02:30.804 --> 1:02:33.045
ultimate warrior which I
1:02:33.085 --> 1:02:34.106
know will be in part two of
1:02:34.146 --> 1:02:35.226
this because that was to me
1:02:35.306 --> 1:02:36.168
one of the most dramatic
1:02:36.188 --> 1:02:37.248
wrestlemania matches about
1:02:38.088 --> 1:02:39.429
sure so I'm watching the
1:02:39.449 --> 1:02:40.369
tape sean mooney's
1:02:40.429 --> 1:02:42.851
narrating and shit and I'm
1:02:42.871 --> 1:02:44.072
like wait a minute
1:02:45.494 --> 1:02:46.956
We always talk about the slam.
1:02:46.976 --> 1:02:47.797
I don't see them talking
1:02:47.817 --> 1:02:50.119
about this match all the time.
1:02:51.041 --> 1:02:52.442
And I was like, yo, this match cold.
1:02:54.023 --> 1:02:55.184
Ricky Steamboat won.
1:02:57.728 --> 1:03:02.192
Like, I watched that tape so many times.
1:03:03.673 --> 1:03:05.114
And I watched that specific
1:03:05.235 --> 1:03:06.677
match so many times.
1:03:07.958 --> 1:03:09.617
It became that, like,
1:03:09.637 --> 1:03:10.958
how you see these people on
1:03:10.998 --> 1:03:12.059
the Greg Dameron Valentine
1:03:12.179 --> 1:03:14.519
post that they still commenting on?
1:03:15.500 --> 1:03:15.780
Right.
1:03:16.019 --> 1:03:17.179
This is when I tell y'all, yo,
1:03:17.219 --> 1:03:18.521
I be digging in the crates, fam.
1:03:19.001 --> 1:03:19.880
I dig it.
1:03:20.021 --> 1:03:21.440
I watched that tape so much
1:03:22.961 --> 1:03:25.161
that I remember the first
1:03:25.242 --> 1:03:26.902
place I watched the tape.
1:03:27.362 --> 1:03:27.583
Wow.
1:03:28.682 --> 1:03:29.663
And the first place I
1:03:29.682 --> 1:03:30.963
watched that history of
1:03:31.003 --> 1:03:31.963
that best of WrestleMania
1:03:31.983 --> 1:03:34.264
with Columbia House was at
1:03:34.304 --> 1:03:35.244
my grandfather's house.
1:03:35.965 --> 1:03:36.385
Wow.
1:03:37.532 --> 1:03:39.934
Um, and then my grandfather was like, yo,
1:03:39.954 --> 1:03:41.275
you got to come to the lounge with me.
1:03:41.715 --> 1:03:43.617
And I was like, fam, I don't want to, like,
1:03:43.637 --> 1:03:44.317
I don't want to be kicking
1:03:44.336 --> 1:03:45.538
it with y'all old ass niggas.
1:03:47.860 --> 1:03:48.980
So he was like, okay,
1:03:49.079 --> 1:03:50.842
the lounge is in an apartment building.
1:03:50.902 --> 1:03:52.382
You just go upstairs and you
1:03:52.402 --> 1:03:52.963
watch it there.
1:03:54.864 --> 1:03:55.485
That's what I did.
1:03:56.405 --> 1:03:57.425
And I watched that tape for
1:03:57.445 --> 1:03:57.907
the first time.
1:03:57.927 --> 1:04:00.509
I was like, yo, this match cold.
1:04:01.409 --> 1:04:03.610
And that's why I was at, um,
1:04:04.920 --> 1:04:05.780
a little bit of a
1:04:05.900 --> 1:04:07.302
light-hearted one because I
1:04:07.362 --> 1:04:08.461
had both of the wrestling
1:04:08.481 --> 1:04:11.182
men okay um I had both of
1:04:11.202 --> 1:04:12.242
the wrestling men was
1:04:12.463 --> 1:04:14.282
anytime I saw big boss man
1:04:14.322 --> 1:04:18.143
in the king okay don't ask
1:04:18.164 --> 1:04:19.985
y'all but my mother had
1:04:20.244 --> 1:04:21.565
bought me big boss man in
1:04:21.585 --> 1:04:22.726
the king action figures
1:04:23.246 --> 1:04:25.826
yeah no hey hey listen I i
1:04:25.846 --> 1:04:26.666
think those are mass
1:04:26.686 --> 1:04:28.327
produced high key man
1:04:31.043 --> 1:04:32.224
Small fast fact,
1:04:33.105 --> 1:04:34.085
and I don't know how to
1:04:34.146 --> 1:04:35.306
fact check this at all,
1:04:35.885 --> 1:04:37.407
but I want to say the most
1:04:37.507 --> 1:04:40.367
mass produced wrestling figures ever,
1:04:41.088 --> 1:04:44.769
Big Boss Man, Akeem, Hillbilly Jim,
1:04:45.070 --> 1:04:46.210
and Nikolai Volkov.
1:04:46.891 --> 1:04:48.371
I don't know nobody that
1:04:48.452 --> 1:04:50.012
collected wrestling figures
1:04:50.273 --> 1:04:51.532
who didn't have all of them.
1:04:52.034 --> 1:04:52.313
Yeah.
1:04:54.034 --> 1:04:56.755
I definitely had with the nightstick.
1:04:57.476 --> 1:04:57.936
Yeah.
1:04:58.856 --> 1:04:59.916
I definitely had that, y'all.
1:05:01.094 --> 1:05:01.655
And I used to,
1:05:01.675 --> 1:05:04.536
and I had them and Macho Man.
1:05:05.317 --> 1:05:05.936
Yeah.
1:05:06.577 --> 1:05:07.016
Hey,
1:05:07.056 --> 1:05:08.478
the Macho Man was the one that we all
1:05:08.538 --> 1:05:11.739
was trying to get.
1:05:12.498 --> 1:05:13.860
But the ones that was always
1:05:13.920 --> 1:05:14.699
just available,
1:05:14.800 --> 1:05:17.621
whether you was at Osco Drug, Fred's,
1:05:17.681 --> 1:05:18.702
if you was in the South of
1:05:18.742 --> 1:05:20.061
Mississippi or Kmart,
1:05:20.862 --> 1:05:22.163
it wasn't the day that went
1:05:22.242 --> 1:05:24.824
by that them four wasn't in there.
1:05:26.525 --> 1:05:26.744
Yeah.
1:05:28.385 --> 1:05:28.686
But
1:05:29.903 --> 1:05:31.465
As an Ultimate Warrior fan,
1:05:33.306 --> 1:05:34.525
one of my favorite moments
1:05:35.447 --> 1:05:37.307
is when he loses to Rick Roode.
1:05:40.949 --> 1:05:41.730
What are we doing here?
1:05:42.550 --> 1:05:43.050
So yeah,
1:05:43.431 --> 1:05:45.271
so those are some of my favorite moments.
1:05:45.291 --> 1:05:46.072
We're going to keep this
1:05:46.291 --> 1:05:48.413
going as we go along on the
1:05:48.474 --> 1:05:49.474
road to WrestleMania.
1:05:49.793 --> 1:05:51.614
Like I said, I'm watching Raw right now,
1:05:51.635 --> 1:05:54.315
looking at the closed caption.
1:05:58.681 --> 1:05:59.822
and stuff like that so it's
1:05:59.882 --> 1:06:01.063
very interesting to see
1:06:01.083 --> 1:06:03.804
those two um in the ring
1:06:03.864 --> 1:06:06.347
together um you know seth
1:06:06.367 --> 1:06:07.188
rollins with his wife
1:06:07.327 --> 1:06:11.811
clothes on hey amazing
1:06:11.831 --> 1:06:14.273
promo by roman reigns that
1:06:14.313 --> 1:06:17.155
we hey listen exactly no
1:06:17.217 --> 1:06:18.657
pop is gonna be making his
1:06:18.717 --> 1:06:22.300
way to this show yeah you
1:06:22.340 --> 1:06:23.362
can bank on that
1:06:26.286 --> 1:06:28.146
No, so Seth Rollins is basically saying,
1:06:28.186 --> 1:06:30.027
like, yo, the deck is stacked against you,
1:06:30.068 --> 1:06:30.367
fam.
1:06:31.228 --> 1:06:32.009
Like, what you going to do?
1:06:33.168 --> 1:06:34.469
You can't win.
1:06:34.510 --> 1:06:37.550
He's giving them the Adrian talk.
1:06:37.650 --> 1:06:38.811
I want to end this off with
1:06:38.871 --> 1:06:40.472
an interesting tweet that we got, though.
1:06:40.992 --> 1:06:41.293
Okay.
1:06:41.972 --> 1:06:45.835
It was around Carl Weathers and how, like,
1:06:45.934 --> 1:06:48.115
you know, I know it's a wrestling podcast,
1:06:48.175 --> 1:06:49.876
but, like, you know,
1:06:50.277 --> 1:06:51.056
it would be great to get a
1:06:51.097 --> 1:06:52.018
Carl Weathers episode.
1:06:53.500 --> 1:06:56.322
So this is how I'm going to
1:06:56.362 --> 1:06:57.302
put it with Carl Weathers.
1:06:58.903 --> 1:07:00.164
We can't do a Carl Weathers episode.
1:07:00.204 --> 1:07:00.905
He's never wrestled.
1:07:02.865 --> 1:07:05.708
But, and this is the honest to God truth.
1:07:05.748 --> 1:07:07.108
I'm not just pulling this out of my ass.
1:07:10.190 --> 1:07:11.112
I always wanted to see Carl
1:07:11.132 --> 1:07:12.172
Weathers in the wrestling ring.
1:07:13.994 --> 1:07:17.715
Like, we saw Mr. T in the 80s.
1:07:18.856 --> 1:07:19.036
Like,
1:07:19.777 --> 1:07:21.298
Carl Weathers was in Predator with
1:07:21.338 --> 1:07:22.480
Jesse the Body Ventura.
1:07:22.840 --> 1:07:23.000
Yeah.
1:07:24.110 --> 1:07:28.873
was in rocky three with you
1:07:28.913 --> 1:07:30.193
know hulk hogan oh yeah
1:07:30.634 --> 1:07:34.414
that's true how could we
1:07:34.695 --> 1:07:35.735
couldn't see carl weathers
1:07:35.755 --> 1:07:37.115
in the wrestling ring like
1:07:37.235 --> 1:07:38.757
I'm really like when I saw
1:07:38.777 --> 1:07:40.918
that tweet I really was
1:07:40.958 --> 1:07:43.199
like yeah but then I got to
1:07:43.259 --> 1:07:46.019
thinking like carl weathers
1:07:47.188 --> 1:07:48.387
probably could have like
1:07:48.907 --> 1:07:50.429
tagged with jesse the body
1:07:50.449 --> 1:07:52.528
ventura or some and like
1:07:52.548 --> 1:07:54.969
wrestlemania four or
1:07:55.030 --> 1:07:57.250
something so my question to
1:07:57.311 --> 1:07:59.291
you is like what is one of
1:07:59.311 --> 1:08:01.731
your favorite like but no I
1:08:01.771 --> 1:08:03.251
know your favorite you're
1:08:03.311 --> 1:08:04.731
you're a rocky three stand
1:08:05.331 --> 1:08:07.293
absolutely so absolutely I
1:08:07.313 --> 1:08:08.092
ain't even got to ask you
1:08:08.112 --> 1:08:11.873
that question but what does
1:08:12.193 --> 1:08:13.655
the the apollo creed
1:08:13.735 --> 1:08:14.914
character mean to you
1:08:16.128 --> 1:08:17.550
And then I got a question
1:08:17.770 --> 1:08:19.470
that I think we'll have fun to answer.
1:08:19.490 --> 1:08:20.430
So what does the Apollo
1:08:20.470 --> 1:08:21.490
Creed character mean to you?
1:08:22.612 --> 1:08:26.333
Man, listen, short answer, everything.
1:08:27.033 --> 1:08:28.494
Again, I was born in the 80s.
1:08:30.255 --> 1:08:31.756
And, you know,
1:08:31.775 --> 1:08:33.676
the two or three Rocky
1:08:33.716 --> 1:08:35.056
movies come out before my
1:08:35.177 --> 1:08:36.118
coherent memories.
1:08:37.198 --> 1:08:38.599
So I don't know who Muhammad
1:08:38.658 --> 1:08:40.920
Ali is by the time I'm watching Rocky.
1:08:42.280 --> 1:08:45.042
So I think Apollo Creed is a real person.
1:08:46.757 --> 1:08:49.800
So that's how my imagination works.
1:08:49.880 --> 1:08:50.841
I'm keeping it at $1
1:08:50.841 --> 1:08:51.801
trillion with y'all tonight.
1:08:53.243 --> 1:08:54.623
Carl Weathers, to me,
1:08:55.925 --> 1:08:57.685
was like the first Black
1:08:57.746 --> 1:09:00.847
superhero because I didn't know his name.
1:09:01.087 --> 1:09:02.488
I thought he was Apollo Creed.
1:09:02.850 --> 1:09:04.711
When I saw Action Jackson, I said,
1:09:04.810 --> 1:09:07.113
Apollo Creed is alive again,
1:09:07.552 --> 1:09:09.154
and he's Action Jackson.
1:09:09.774 --> 1:09:11.716
And when he had superpowers, I'm like,
1:09:11.975 --> 1:09:12.796
even though I wasn't the
1:09:12.837 --> 1:09:13.978
biggest comic book kid,
1:09:14.891 --> 1:09:16.132
But I was like, oh, wow,
1:09:16.932 --> 1:09:19.793
he's alive and he's Action Jackson.
1:09:20.554 --> 1:09:22.534
So, like, I kid you not,
1:09:23.475 --> 1:09:27.356
Carl Weathers was a superhero to me.
1:09:29.118 --> 1:09:30.578
I would equate him to be the
1:09:30.658 --> 1:09:32.038
equivalent to what Richard
1:09:32.118 --> 1:09:37.641
Roundtree was to the OGs in the 70s or,
1:09:37.702 --> 1:09:39.822
like, or Rudy Ray Moore,
1:09:40.182 --> 1:09:40.922
even though he wasn't, like,
1:09:40.943 --> 1:09:42.623
really an action guy or, like, you know,
1:09:42.703 --> 1:09:43.083
Shaft.
1:09:44.127 --> 1:09:45.067
which was Richard Rowntree.
1:09:45.787 --> 1:09:47.268
That's what he was to me.
1:09:48.488 --> 1:09:53.270
So Rocky IV hurt when he died.
1:09:54.710 --> 1:09:56.350
The first time as a child I saw that,
1:09:56.530 --> 1:09:57.911
I was crushed.
1:09:57.930 --> 1:09:58.471
I cried.
1:10:02.592 --> 1:10:05.314
Nothing that Carl Weathers did
1:10:06.552 --> 1:10:07.873
was wrong to me.
1:10:08.454 --> 1:10:11.057
I think he has an impeccable, dare I say,
1:10:11.137 --> 1:10:12.498
flawless body of work.
1:10:13.020 --> 1:10:14.921
I've never not seen him in a
1:10:14.981 --> 1:10:17.805
TV or a movie series and
1:10:17.864 --> 1:10:18.945
did not enjoy it.
1:10:21.100 --> 1:10:23.702
I think when we talk about
1:10:23.721 --> 1:10:25.462
the blueprint for what
1:10:25.902 --> 1:10:27.283
black actors and black
1:10:27.363 --> 1:10:28.323
entertainers should be,
1:10:28.443 --> 1:10:29.983
I think his name should come up more.
1:10:30.604 --> 1:10:32.264
And that's with respect to
1:10:32.304 --> 1:10:33.564
your Morgan Freeman's and
1:10:33.623 --> 1:10:37.404
respect to your Denzel
1:10:37.444 --> 1:10:41.086
Washington's things and those guys.
1:10:42.027 --> 1:10:44.667
But the two people that I
1:10:44.747 --> 1:10:48.587
hold in very high regard and always will,
1:10:49.189 --> 1:10:50.349
and I started off this way,
1:10:51.041 --> 1:10:53.761
was Carl Weathers and Wesley Snipes.
1:10:54.722 --> 1:10:56.463
I thought that's who you
1:10:56.524 --> 1:10:58.404
should and would want to be
1:10:59.005 --> 1:10:59.985
if you were going to be a
1:11:00.206 --> 1:11:01.006
Black person in
1:11:01.086 --> 1:11:02.527
entertainment once I
1:11:02.546 --> 1:11:04.188
started really separating, oh, wow,
1:11:04.247 --> 1:11:05.167
movies with characters and
1:11:05.188 --> 1:11:06.809
these guys did this and that.
1:11:06.969 --> 1:11:07.488
Once I'm like 10,
1:11:08.670 --> 1:11:10.652
And I'm using common sense
1:11:10.712 --> 1:11:13.375
now and understanding fact versus fiction,
1:11:13.914 --> 1:11:15.617
reality versus TV and movies.
1:11:16.056 --> 1:11:17.278
Carl Weathers and Wesley
1:11:17.297 --> 1:11:18.920
Snipes were my one and two
1:11:19.921 --> 1:11:22.682
just because they reminded
1:11:22.722 --> 1:11:24.144
me of people in my neighborhood.
1:11:24.184 --> 1:11:26.105
They reminded me of people in my family.
1:11:26.487 --> 1:11:27.287
And then were they
1:11:27.327 --> 1:11:29.309
convincing everything that they did?
1:11:30.409 --> 1:11:31.931
So for me.
1:11:32.815 --> 1:11:35.679
personally um carl weathers
1:11:35.699 --> 1:11:37.100
was like wow you want to
1:11:37.161 --> 1:11:39.023
talk about that piece of
1:11:39.064 --> 1:11:41.166
your childhood that carl
1:11:41.185 --> 1:11:42.266
weathers was like my best
1:11:42.346 --> 1:11:44.649
friend dying like my best
1:11:44.710 --> 1:11:46.471
childhood friend dying and
1:11:46.551 --> 1:11:47.332
it's like but we ain't
1:11:47.372 --> 1:11:49.475
talked in 20 years that's
1:11:49.515 --> 1:11:51.639
how it felt to me so
1:11:53.393 --> 1:11:55.134
That is the best way for me
1:11:55.173 --> 1:11:57.095
to sum up just everything
1:11:57.154 --> 1:11:58.716
Carl Weathers and
1:11:59.216 --> 1:12:00.436
everything he meant to me
1:12:00.497 --> 1:12:02.096
as an entertainer, as a character,
1:12:02.198 --> 1:12:05.578
and just his legacy.
1:12:06.319 --> 1:12:09.261
I can't put it any clearer than that,
1:12:09.801 --> 1:12:10.801
and I won't try to use any
1:12:10.902 --> 1:12:13.203
extra words to put any extra sauce on it.
1:12:13.262 --> 1:12:14.764
That's just what it is right there.
1:12:15.644 --> 1:12:18.046
Yeah, man, Carl Weathers was an icon,
1:12:19.265 --> 1:12:22.507
and that's putting it lightly.
1:12:23.167 --> 1:12:23.368
Yeah.
1:12:24.090 --> 1:12:24.229
Like,
1:12:24.270 --> 1:12:26.293
there's no Rocky without Apollo Creed.
1:12:27.095 --> 1:12:27.416
At all.
1:12:28.077 --> 1:12:28.998
Simply put.
1:12:32.284 --> 1:12:33.306
And then you get Predator...
1:12:35.265 --> 1:12:37.345
Action Jackson, Jackson, excuse me,
1:12:37.525 --> 1:12:38.806
Action Jackson.
1:12:39.346 --> 1:12:41.046
Some reason when you put those together,
1:12:41.067 --> 1:12:42.228
I have a hard time saying this.
1:12:42.507 --> 1:12:44.649
But fun fact, fun fact,
1:12:44.769 --> 1:12:45.929
I always thought this when
1:12:45.970 --> 1:12:47.010
I was younger and I saw the
1:12:47.050 --> 1:12:48.911
movie and I even,
1:12:48.930 --> 1:12:50.511
I watched it a couple of
1:12:50.570 --> 1:12:53.512
days ago and I even like feel it now.
1:12:54.052 --> 1:12:55.453
Craig T. Nelson's character
1:12:55.472 --> 1:12:58.715
on Action Jackson was Donald Trump,
1:12:58.734 --> 1:12:58.954
y'all.
1:13:02.006 --> 1:13:03.188
And now I gotta watch it again.
1:13:03.207 --> 1:13:05.010
You gotta watch it again.
1:13:05.090 --> 1:13:08.193
It's on, I think it was on Apple.
1:13:08.212 --> 1:13:10.333
Yeah, it's on Prime Video,
1:13:10.354 --> 1:13:11.274
I believe it is too.
1:13:11.815 --> 1:13:12.275
Okay.
1:13:12.957 --> 1:13:13.556
But nah.
1:13:16.139 --> 1:13:16.779
Nah, y'all.
1:13:18.020 --> 1:13:19.761
Craig T. Nelson was Donald Trump.
1:13:21.181 --> 1:13:22.302
And shout out to Craig T. Nelson,
1:13:22.342 --> 1:13:25.764
another guy with a flawless body of work,
1:13:25.804 --> 1:13:27.904
and I'm including the sitcom Coach, too.
1:13:27.944 --> 1:13:28.166
Yes.
1:13:28.185 --> 1:13:28.926
Coach was fire.
1:13:29.166 --> 1:13:30.305
Yes, Coach was fire.
1:13:30.386 --> 1:13:32.207
You know what I'm saying?
1:13:32.386 --> 1:13:33.747
The Orlando Breakers, I think,
1:13:33.807 --> 1:13:35.149
was the team he ended up
1:13:35.189 --> 1:13:36.948
coaching in the NFL or whatever.
1:13:37.009 --> 1:13:37.489
But no,
1:13:38.210 --> 1:13:40.091
Craig T. Nelson's character in
1:13:40.470 --> 1:13:43.975
Action Jackson –
1:13:43.975 --> 1:13:45.036
was Donald Trump.
1:13:45.076 --> 1:13:46.136
You can't tell me none.
1:13:46.657 --> 1:13:47.516
I gotta watch now.
1:13:47.577 --> 1:13:48.658
You gotta watch it, fam.
1:13:48.717 --> 1:13:50.578
You can't... I watched and I
1:13:50.599 --> 1:13:54.520
was like... Y'all was on to something.
1:13:57.001 --> 1:13:58.162
Y'all was on to something.
1:13:58.221 --> 1:13:58.801
Was it 87?
1:13:59.242 --> 1:13:58.801
88?
1:13:59.261 --> 1:14:01.143
I think so.
1:14:01.182 --> 1:14:02.923
Yeah, y'all was on to something.
1:14:03.764 --> 1:14:07.524
That rich billionaire tycoon shit.
1:14:08.386 --> 1:14:09.365
But in this case,
1:14:09.405 --> 1:14:11.006
he was feeding people heroin.
1:14:11.027 --> 1:14:11.087
Mmm.
1:14:14.546 --> 1:14:18.329
ours hey 80s movies man 80s
1:14:18.369 --> 1:14:21.011
movies peak creativity for
1:14:21.792 --> 1:14:24.456
80s movies but back to carl
1:14:24.536 --> 1:14:27.958
weathers man um predator is
1:14:27.998 --> 1:14:30.921
what got me though predator
1:14:30.962 --> 1:14:32.842
is what got me for the
1:14:32.903 --> 1:14:34.585
simple fact that in
1:14:34.704 --> 1:14:36.106
predator like he the one
1:14:36.146 --> 1:14:37.448
who set the whole thing up
1:14:38.988 --> 1:14:40.389
And I was like, yo,
1:14:40.408 --> 1:14:43.329
I really fuck with...
1:14:43.350 --> 1:14:44.710
Predator's one of my favorite movies,
1:14:44.750 --> 1:14:45.609
the original Predator.
1:14:45.930 --> 1:14:46.131
Okay.
1:14:46.570 --> 1:14:48.430
So between Rocky and that,
1:14:50.372 --> 1:14:51.853
I always watch... I made
1:14:51.912 --> 1:14:53.153
sure to watch a movie with
1:14:53.172 --> 1:14:55.173
Carl Nelson on it on Channel 9, yo.
1:14:56.354 --> 1:14:57.454
Me, Carl Weathers, excuse me.
1:14:57.494 --> 1:14:58.454
I said Carl Nelson.
1:14:58.515 --> 1:14:59.095
Carl Weathers.
1:14:59.876 --> 1:15:00.216
Okay.
1:15:00.275 --> 1:15:00.475
So...
1:15:02.859 --> 1:15:04.704
when happy gilmore came out
1:15:05.546 --> 1:15:07.512
I was like yo like is this
1:15:07.552 --> 1:15:09.257
some type of renaissance or whatever
1:15:10.386 --> 1:15:12.967
But he was always like a working actor.
1:15:13.068 --> 1:15:14.728
And when the Mandalorian came out,
1:15:14.927 --> 1:15:15.868
I was even happier.
1:15:17.389 --> 1:15:19.590
Simply put, I was a big Carl Weathers fan,
1:15:20.409 --> 1:15:21.609
and it was sad to see
1:15:21.689 --> 1:15:22.909
somebody that has been a
1:15:22.970 --> 1:15:24.371
figure in your childhood go.
1:15:25.551 --> 1:15:26.851
So rest in peace to him.
1:15:27.792 --> 1:15:29.252
But I always wondered,
1:15:29.971 --> 1:15:31.153
and when I was younger,
1:15:31.212 --> 1:15:33.012
like when you see Mr. T and
1:15:33.472 --> 1:15:35.213
even some of the NFL players and stuff,
1:15:35.953 --> 1:15:37.033
and knowing that he did
1:15:37.094 --> 1:15:38.635
stuff with Jesse the Body Ventura,
1:15:39.755 --> 1:15:41.195
He couldn't get up in the ring,
1:15:41.336 --> 1:15:43.636
which leads me to my
1:15:43.697 --> 1:15:46.099
question of the day before
1:15:46.139 --> 1:15:47.698
we give our guarantee.
1:15:48.680 --> 1:15:50.761
Who is a celebrity that has
1:15:50.860 --> 1:15:53.021
not entered the ring that
1:15:53.082 --> 1:15:56.524
you wish wrestled in the ring?
1:16:02.532 --> 1:16:03.492
This is an interesting
1:16:03.551 --> 1:16:05.472
question because I'm super
1:16:05.552 --> 1:16:07.554
jaded because I've watched
1:16:08.333 --> 1:16:10.994
the worst and then now the best.
1:16:12.375 --> 1:16:21.917
But if I had to pick, hey, y'all, no.
1:16:22.939 --> 1:16:24.479
I'm going to go Sylvester Stallone.
1:16:25.519 --> 1:16:28.800
Because I didn't realize how small he was.
1:16:28.840 --> 1:16:30.060
I didn't realize he was a cruiserweight.
1:16:33.171 --> 1:16:33.990
You dig what I'm saying?
1:16:36.091 --> 1:16:37.072
Because, yeah, I mean, look,
1:16:37.591 --> 1:16:39.952
Action Hero's like, because, you know,
1:16:39.992 --> 1:16:40.752
I mean, hey, look,
1:16:41.351 --> 1:16:42.613
a lot of the obvious answers,
1:16:42.672 --> 1:16:43.252
they've happened.
1:16:43.273 --> 1:16:45.332
Like, Arnold Schwarzenegger happened, like,
1:16:45.353 --> 1:16:45.872
to a degree.
1:16:45.912 --> 1:16:48.873
Like, he got into the world of the WWE.
1:16:49.554 --> 1:16:51.694
But, like, yeah, Sylvester Stallone,
1:16:51.774 --> 1:16:52.474
it never happened.
1:16:52.514 --> 1:16:53.394
Hey, Dolph Lundgren.
1:16:55.494 --> 1:16:56.654
Because, again, hey, as a child,
1:16:56.734 --> 1:16:57.835
I thought he killed somebody.
1:16:57.935 --> 1:17:00.935
I thought he killed my best black friend.
1:17:01.076 --> 1:17:01.775
Like, I thought he did.
1:17:03.948 --> 1:17:04.609
Oh, man.
1:17:06.832 --> 1:17:08.354
I know it's somebody else.
1:17:09.034 --> 1:17:10.036
I got one for you.
1:17:10.336 --> 1:17:11.356
Go ahead.
1:17:11.396 --> 1:17:11.978
Don't laugh.
1:17:13.059 --> 1:17:13.698
Don't laugh.
1:17:14.039 --> 1:17:14.359
Okay.
1:17:14.840 --> 1:17:15.680
Patrick Swayze.
1:17:16.863 --> 1:17:17.323
Hey, yo.
1:17:17.363 --> 1:17:18.043
Come on, fam.
1:17:18.064 --> 1:17:18.203
Fam.
1:17:18.243 --> 1:17:18.503
Laugh.
1:17:18.564 --> 1:17:20.046
Bro, that's top five.
1:17:20.185 --> 1:17:20.405
Bro.
1:17:26.670 --> 1:17:26.869
Bro,
1:17:26.949 --> 1:17:28.791
Roadhouse made me think that Patrick
1:17:28.831 --> 1:17:31.150
Swayze could take on a whole ass gang.
1:17:31.371 --> 1:17:31.610
Yeah.
1:17:31.690 --> 1:17:33.631
Because he did in Roadhouse.
1:17:34.811 --> 1:17:36.431
I would have loved to see, like,
1:17:36.492 --> 1:17:39.353
Patrick Swayze and Sting versus, like,
1:17:39.372 --> 1:17:41.554
Ric Flair and R.A.
1:17:41.753 --> 1:17:42.713
Anderson.
1:17:43.573 --> 1:17:44.814
No bull.
1:17:45.734 --> 1:17:47.614
And my mama don't remember this.
1:17:49.015 --> 1:17:50.895
I went looking for the
1:17:51.015 --> 1:17:52.376
Roadhouse action figure.
1:17:52.655 --> 1:17:54.095
I ain't even going to lie to you.
1:17:54.237 --> 1:17:55.476
That's how much I believed.
1:17:55.516 --> 1:17:56.037
I was like, yo.
1:17:56.966 --> 1:17:58.766
Is there a Roadhouse action figure?
1:17:58.787 --> 1:18:00.407
Because he hard.
1:18:00.447 --> 1:18:01.688
Like, this is crazy.
1:18:02.587 --> 1:18:03.349
Like, yo, listen.
1:18:03.548 --> 1:18:04.229
If there would have been a
1:18:04.349 --> 1:18:06.529
Dalton Roadhouse action figure,
1:18:06.909 --> 1:18:07.670
he would have been the
1:18:07.729 --> 1:18:11.252
world champ that afternoon at Roadhouse.
1:18:12.091 --> 1:18:12.492
Bruh.
1:18:12.712 --> 1:18:13.353
Bruh.
1:18:13.372 --> 1:18:17.274
I... Patrick Swayze is on the list.
1:18:19.154 --> 1:18:21.176
Mel Gibson because of Lethal Weapon.
1:18:21.496 --> 1:18:21.595
Yeah.
1:18:22.422 --> 1:18:24.024
yes that is on the list I
1:18:24.043 --> 1:18:24.863
was actually thinking of
1:18:25.243 --> 1:18:26.845
mel gibson like mel gibson
1:18:26.904 --> 1:18:29.164

1:18:29.204 --> 1:18:31.126
too detective riggs should
1:18:31.166 --> 1:18:32.286
have been out there right
1:18:32.627 --> 1:18:34.386
and I wish ray lewis would
1:18:34.407 --> 1:18:38.188
have wrestled I wish ray
1:18:38.207 --> 1:18:39.269
lewis would have wrestled
1:18:39.288 --> 1:18:41.630
like I don't I mean this is
1:18:41.670 --> 1:18:43.310
before the incident and all
1:18:43.350 --> 1:18:44.109
that stuff and even
1:18:44.289 --> 1:18:45.411
afterwards because he got away
1:18:48.662 --> 1:18:50.404
But I think that Ray Lewis
1:18:50.423 --> 1:18:50.963
would have been an
1:18:51.024 --> 1:18:53.185
incredible WWE superstar.
1:18:53.426 --> 1:18:53.966
For sure.
1:18:54.225 --> 1:18:55.087
I mean, hey, look, hey,
1:18:55.487 --> 1:18:56.347
all things considered,
1:18:56.768 --> 1:18:57.889
he would have been Reverend Devon.
1:19:01.791 --> 1:19:02.411
First black champ.
1:19:02.430 --> 1:19:04.893
All right, man, you got any guarantee?
1:19:05.953 --> 1:19:07.474
Aw, man, guarantee.
1:19:09.234 --> 1:19:09.456
Hey,
1:19:09.815 --> 1:19:12.096
I guarantee that they telling this
1:19:12.157 --> 1:19:13.217
Bailey story wrong.
1:19:14.439 --> 1:19:14.819
Uh-oh.
1:19:17.239 --> 1:19:18.261
I'm here for it all.
1:19:19.430 --> 1:19:21.471
But man, I don't like the way they,
1:19:22.132 --> 1:19:24.333
the way last year went,
1:19:25.994 --> 1:19:27.676
I totally wanted Bayley to
1:19:27.735 --> 1:19:29.037
be on the other side of like,
1:19:29.157 --> 1:19:29.756
I'm going to get these
1:19:29.837 --> 1:19:30.898
Asian hoes before they get me.
1:19:32.037 --> 1:19:33.238
Versus the, oh man,
1:19:33.259 --> 1:19:34.819
we're supposed to be the best of friends.
1:19:35.220 --> 1:19:37.782
It's a lot of OG Bayley coming out.
1:19:38.202 --> 1:19:39.823
Like, yo, everybody love me.
1:19:40.944 --> 1:19:42.144
But I wanted her to really
1:19:42.585 --> 1:19:44.185
hit the apex of the, no,
1:19:44.605 --> 1:19:46.466
baddest bitch on the planet, Bayley.
1:19:46.487 --> 1:19:48.007
Like, no, ain't nobody colder than me.
1:19:48.962 --> 1:19:50.122
I wanted to get deeper into
1:19:50.162 --> 1:19:52.063
that bag versus the OG bag.
1:19:52.783 --> 1:19:58.786
But nonetheless, I hope, my guarantee,
1:19:58.805 --> 1:20:00.606
I hope, it's not guarantee, my guarantee,
1:20:00.627 --> 1:20:01.966
I hope is that the story
1:20:02.006 --> 1:20:03.347
gets told a lot better from
1:20:03.448 --> 1:20:05.509
her angle and perspective
1:20:06.229 --> 1:20:09.289
because the people need
1:20:09.770 --> 1:20:13.511
like unparalleled,
1:20:14.123 --> 1:20:16.805
heralded superstar bailey
1:20:16.865 --> 1:20:19.927
like that's what 2024 needs
1:20:20.467 --> 1:20:23.090
she was the pandemic women
1:20:23.130 --> 1:20:26.612
wrestler mvp she's one of
1:20:26.752 --> 1:20:29.533
the she is the I've won
1:20:29.713 --> 1:20:32.256
everything done every match won first
1:20:33.387 --> 1:20:34.869
And it's really time for her
1:20:34.890 --> 1:20:37.551
to get on some John Cena, Randy Orton,
1:20:38.934 --> 1:20:40.875
Triple H type-ish by now.
1:20:41.036 --> 1:20:41.296
Like,
1:20:41.855 --> 1:20:44.078
she needs her Charlotte run since
1:20:44.118 --> 1:20:45.720
Charlotte ain't can't be here right now.
1:20:47.301 --> 1:20:48.342
That's my guarantee.
1:20:49.002 --> 1:20:49.384
Man,
1:20:49.503 --> 1:20:53.948
my guarantee is that Bianca Belair and
1:20:54.007 --> 1:20:56.490
Jade Cargill will be the next...
1:20:57.606 --> 1:21:00.207
WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
1:21:01.068 --> 1:21:03.769
It's a way to get Jade on TV,
1:21:04.389 --> 1:21:05.869
protect her a little bit,
1:21:06.609 --> 1:21:10.470
and give Bianca a run.
1:21:12.391 --> 1:21:14.252
And probably do what Sasha
1:21:14.993 --> 1:21:16.713
and Naomi wanted to do with
1:21:16.753 --> 1:21:18.753
the tag team titles in the first place.
1:21:20.975 --> 1:21:23.376
Is Titus gonna manage them?
1:21:25.537 --> 1:21:26.617
Millions and millions of dollars.
1:21:27.532 --> 1:21:28.592
Hey, you know.
1:21:29.252 --> 1:21:30.213
Millions and millions of dollars.
1:21:30.755 --> 1:21:35.377
So, yeah, man, that is my guarantee.
1:21:36.059 --> 1:21:38.560
We'll see what happens in all of that.
1:21:38.720 --> 1:21:41.103
And we'll see what happens in AEW, man,
1:21:41.143 --> 1:21:42.003
because, you know,
1:21:42.444 --> 1:21:45.627
Mercedes Monet is on the way there.
1:21:45.827 --> 1:21:48.088
Boston, B-O-S-S-T-O-N.
1:21:48.269 --> 1:21:48.389
Right.
1:21:51.331 --> 1:21:54.432
is going to be lit when she debuts there.
1:21:54.493 --> 1:21:56.474
There's also rumors that
1:21:57.194 --> 1:22:00.595
Okada will be joining AEW,
1:22:00.636 --> 1:22:01.515
which I ain't going to front.
1:22:01.536 --> 1:22:02.657
I don't like that move.
1:22:02.676 --> 1:22:03.077
No?
1:22:03.157 --> 1:22:04.417
I don't like that move.
1:22:04.457 --> 1:22:04.717
Nah,
1:22:05.217 --> 1:22:06.719
I'd rather see... I don't want to see
1:22:06.819 --> 1:22:08.539
Okada go up against Orange Cassidy.
1:22:08.560 --> 1:22:09.439
I don't want to see him go
1:22:09.479 --> 1:22:10.841
up against Daniel Garcia.
1:22:11.360 --> 1:22:12.282
I don't want to see him go
1:22:12.341 --> 1:22:13.802
up against Daniel Bryan again.
1:22:14.042 --> 1:22:16.444
I don't want to see him go up against...
1:22:16.976 --> 1:22:18.759
Kenny Omega and all of this stuff.
1:22:18.798 --> 1:22:19.739
Like I've seen that.
1:22:19.880 --> 1:22:20.860
I felt like, you know,
1:22:20.900 --> 1:22:21.761
you can go look at a
1:22:21.780 --> 1:22:23.582
wrestle kingdom or whatever.
1:22:23.802 --> 1:22:26.324
I want to see Okada versus Seth Rollins.
1:22:26.404 --> 1:22:29.007
I want to see Okada versus Gunther.
1:22:29.047 --> 1:22:30.229
Like I want to see that.
1:22:30.408 --> 1:22:32.230
I really want to see Okada versus Gunther.
1:22:33.131 --> 1:22:34.731
Like that, I was mad.
1:22:34.851 --> 1:22:37.453
But it looks like he's going to go to AEW.
1:22:38.453 --> 1:22:40.595
So it's just like, all right, that's cool.
1:22:40.735 --> 1:22:42.176
I'm not shitting on AEW.
1:22:42.275 --> 1:22:44.256
It's just I've seen some of those matches.
1:22:45.198 --> 1:22:46.439
I want to see him against
1:22:46.658 --> 1:22:47.399
different people.
1:22:47.838 --> 1:22:49.279
And I would love,
1:22:49.619 --> 1:22:51.761
I would pay to see Okada
1:22:51.782 --> 1:22:53.301
versus Gunther for the
1:22:53.382 --> 1:22:54.182
Intercontinental
1:22:54.222 --> 1:22:56.363
Championship at WrestleMania.
1:22:56.404 --> 1:22:58.385
Like, that's what I would pray for.
1:22:59.525 --> 1:23:00.886
But we'll see from there.
1:23:00.947 --> 1:23:01.106
So...
1:23:01.707 --> 1:23:02.067
Amen.
1:23:02.087 --> 1:23:04.469
Go ahead and it's all G. All right, man.
1:23:04.509 --> 1:23:07.109
Hey, thank you all for tuning in to this.
