<v Speaker 1>What is going on, guys? It is another Monday night.

<v Speaker 1>I am the solemn Monster. Tonight RAW was at Madison

<v Speaker 1>Square Garden, my neck of the Woods, and tonight was

<v Speaker 1>the first time where it really felt like the WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>card has finally come together. We got a whole bunch

<v Speaker 1>of match announcements tonight, so it was a very newsworthy show.

<v Speaker 1>But it was another night where Roman Rains and Cmpunk

<v Speaker 1>closed us out at the very end. And tonight was

<v Speaker 1>a lot like last week in that if you remember

<v Speaker 1>how the show came to an end, it was Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns putting CM Punk through a table with a power bomb.

<v Speaker 1>He put him through the announced desk, he left him laying.

<v Speaker 1>Tonight it was the opposite. They flipped the script. It

<v Speaker 1>was CM Punk putting Roman Reins through the announced desk

<v Speaker 1>and leaving him laying. Not exactly a creative way to

<v Speaker 1>follow up on last week's show. I wouldn't say it

<v Speaker 1>was exactly a from the brilliant minds of WWE, creative,

<v Speaker 1>something outside the box, but it got the job because

<v Speaker 1>the intent here was for Punk to get his revenge

<v Speaker 1>and for Punk to come out there and look unhinged,

<v Speaker 1>which is how he came off. Punk came out there

<v Speaker 1>looking like a crazy man. Punk actually said a few

<v Speaker 1>things after he powerbombed Roman Reigns through the announced desk.

<v Speaker 1>I did enjoy him looking out at the audience and screaming,

<v Speaker 1>who's fucking old now? And they had to censor him,

<v Speaker 1>and then kneeling down besides Roman Reigns and singing the

<v Speaker 1>Roman Rains song, Roman, Roman Rey, I fucking hate that song.

<v Speaker 1>But he was singing to Roman. He was mocking Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reins and Corey Graves talked about the look in his eyes.

<v Speaker 1>Michael Cole was talking about the look in sea on

<v Speaker 1>Punk's eyes. No USO's, no other Samoan Family, Dynasty members,

<v Speaker 1>It was just the two of them. It was a

<v Speaker 1>very basic segment. And now Roman is not even on

<v Speaker 1>the show next week. We don't see him again now

<v Speaker 1>until the final raw before WrestleMania. I presume we'll have

<v Speaker 1>a contract signing. We had one for Cody Rhoades and

<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton. Why wouldn't we have one for the other

<v Speaker 1>main event. We get one more chance for these two

<v Speaker 1>to basically just cut their final promo on one another

<v Speaker 1>before we get to the main event. I presume of

<v Speaker 1>Night two at WrestleMania one. More beyond that, as far

<v Speaker 1>as the rest of their show goes, you know, there's

<v Speaker 1>a match coming up a WrestleMania that may be more

<v Speaker 1>than any other single match. When you look out at

<v Speaker 1>the crowd and you listen to the crowd, and these

<v Speaker 1>these crowds on most weeks very apathetic. They're not making

<v Speaker 1>a lot of noise for everything. But for this, they

<v Speaker 1>make noise for this. They're into it. For this, you

<v Speaker 1>can feel the excitement. Brock Lesnar and Obafemi. We had

<v Speaker 1>another segment with the two of them on the show tonight,

<v Speaker 1>and yet again, Obafemi stands tall at the end of

<v Speaker 1>this segment. Now, he didn't lay out Brocklesner. In fact,

<v Speaker 1>they never even touched on this show. They even sent

<v Speaker 1>Paul Laveck out there to get in between the two

<v Speaker 1>of them, and the fans didn't like that very much.

<v Speaker 1>But they did not want these two men to make contact,

<v Speaker 1>not until we get to WrestleMania. Whether or not it's

<v Speaker 1>going to happen that way, I don't know, Because I

<v Speaker 1>believe brock is actually going to be on the show

<v Speaker 1>every week between now and Mania. I'm pretty sure he's

<v Speaker 1>around more than Roman is. But this right now feels

<v Speaker 1>like the real big time match on this show. Like

<v Speaker 1>when you think of WrestleMania and what is that one

<v Speaker 1>attraction that feels like the biggest deal on the entire

<v Speaker 1>show up either night, it's Brock, Lesner and Obafemi. And

<v Speaker 1>they continue to churn out these segments where these poor

<v Speaker 1>security people they keep getting tossed around like small children

<v Speaker 1>get a beating every single week. But I like what

<v Speaker 1>they've done so far with these two. Tonight more of

<v Speaker 1>the same. In fact, Brock was out there, he was

<v Speaker 1>dressed for combat. It made it look like Brock was

<v Speaker 1>gonna go out and have a match, which, of course,

<v Speaker 1>when you really stop and think about it, Brock wrestling

<v Speaker 1>a match on TV, I mean, give me a fucking break.

<v Speaker 1>But anyway, I like what they did with those two.

<v Speaker 1>That to me feels like a big time, main event

<v Speaker 1>caliber WrestleMania match. Right now, we have new tag team

<v Speaker 1>champions the Vision Austin Theory and Logan Paul. They now

<v Speaker 1>have tag team Championship. Gold took it away from the

<v Speaker 1>USOS tonight. And then there's speaking of Knights, there's La Nights.

<v Speaker 1>It looks like La Knight may have found himself an

<v Speaker 1>opponent for WrestleMania, and it is not the opponent that

<v Speaker 1>many of the La Night fans out there. I'm sure

<v Speaker 1>we're hoping or expecting. But if he's going to have

<v Speaker 1>a match at WrestleMania, which is not even official yet,

<v Speaker 1>but if he is going to have a match of

<v Speaker 1>wrestle Media, it looks like we just found out what

<v Speaker 1>it is. We'll talk about that. We also had several

<v Speaker 1>names announced for what is going to be a multiman

<v Speaker 1>ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania. I'm going

<v Speaker 1>to tell you who the men are in this match

<v Speaker 1>and what was so absurd about what was said about

<v Speaker 1>all this on Conventary tonight. I don't want to blame

<v Speaker 1>the commentators too much because they're only doing what they

<v Speaker 1>were told to say, but it is just completely ridiculous.

<v Speaker 1>But the bigger story here is this. I just mentioned

<v Speaker 1>Roman in Punk, and I mentioned brocken Oba. All of

<v Speaker 1>these different people you know, who I haven't mentioned much

<v Speaker 1>of over the last few weeks outside of my various

<v Speaker 1>complaints in pointing out the fact that he hasn't been

<v Speaker 1>on the fucking show Gunther. Last time we saw Gunther

<v Speaker 1>on this show, he beat Dragon Lee. They had this

<v Speaker 1>great match. This is the very first raw of March,

<v Speaker 1>very beginning of the month. We have not seen Gunther since,

<v Speaker 1>and but for a fleeting mention of him in CM

<v Speaker 1>Punk Seampunk's promo at the end of the show last week,

<v Speaker 1>he hadn't even been mentioned. And there's been all this

<v Speaker 1>talk about Raymystereo. He was probably going to be Gunther's opponent,

<v Speaker 1>but he had the fractured ribs and would he be

<v Speaker 1>cleared in time? Are they still gonna do Raymistereo and

<v Speaker 1>gun through at Wrestle Media. The answer is no. Gunther

<v Speaker 1>was back on the show tonight. Finally he lives. I

<v Speaker 1>feel like Jason was at Part six right. Jason lives.

<v Speaker 1>He rises from the grave with the lightning strike and

<v Speaker 1>then he just goes around killing people. That's what I

<v Speaker 1>want to see Gunther do. That's kind of what he

<v Speaker 1>did tonight. But he showed up. If you're wondering what

<v Speaker 1>his role was on the show, it was to attack

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins. When Rollins was about to curb Stump Paul

<v Speaker 1>Hayman yet again, he attacked Rollins. He choked him, out

<v Speaker 1>he pointed up at the WrestleMania sign and Adam Pierce

<v Speaker 1>made it official later in the show. It will be

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins and Gunther one on one at WrestleMania. But

<v Speaker 1>we'll get into the segment. Well, I'll get more into

<v Speaker 1>my thoughts on all this. Top line, Here's the thing

<v Speaker 1>I'll say about this for now. A lot of us

<v Speaker 1>were wondering is Gunner even going to be on the

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania card? Are they going to even announce what he

<v Speaker 1>is doing in advance of WrestleMania, because we just got

<v Speaker 1>the announcement today that John Cena is coming back. John

<v Speaker 1>Sena is going to be the host of WrestleMania this year,

<v Speaker 1>mainly because they have more tickets that they are trying

<v Speaker 1>to sell. That's why we're first getting this announcement three

<v Speaker 1>weeks before WrestleMania. But he is going to be on

<v Speaker 1>the show. And I hear that announcement earlier today and

<v Speaker 1>I'm just thinking to myself, we are facing the prospect

<v Speaker 1>that John Cena, the man who was retired by Gunther

<v Speaker 1>in December, is going to have a role on the

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania show, and Gunther as of now does not and

<v Speaker 1>It's just like, the more I thought about it, I said,

<v Speaker 1>this is just lunacy. I don't mean j c W lunacy,

<v Speaker 1>It's just lunacy in general. Tonight has to be the

<v Speaker 1>night Madison Square Guard in New York City. We need

<v Speaker 1>to see this man back on the show and get

<v Speaker 1>some sense of what he is going to be doing

<v Speaker 1>in WrestleMania. Otherwise, my fear was that he would be

<v Speaker 1>in a segment with John Cena. It would be something

<v Speaker 1>along those lines. At least now he has a match,

<v Speaker 1>he has a defined match, he has an opponent. Now

<v Speaker 1>the question is what is the explanation going to be.

<v Speaker 1>We didn't get that tonight, We didn't need that tonight.

<v Speaker 1>There's time for that next week. On the surface, it

<v Speaker 1>doesn't make a lot of sense. Gun Through has had

<v Speaker 1>no interaction with Seth Rowland. Gun Through and Seth Rowlins

<v Speaker 1>have never even wrestled each other. I remember they tease

<v Speaker 1>the match at one point. There was there's some in

<v Speaker 1>ring segment between the two of them, but that is

<v Speaker 1>not a match that we have have seen so far.

<v Speaker 1>So it's actually a fresh match. But what's the story,

<v Speaker 1>what's the rationale behind it? Right? Is it as simple

<v Speaker 1>as I'm sitting at home, no match at WrestleMania, and

<v Speaker 1>I've had to watch you running around every single week,

<v Speaker 1>hogging up all of this television time. Now you get

<v Speaker 1>medically cleared all of these like all of this is

<v Speaker 1>going on, I'm on the sidelines, and he just got

<v Speaker 1>tired of it. It could be as simple asn't that

<v Speaker 1>has to be pretty fucking lame, But it could be

<v Speaker 1>something simple along those lines. It could be that there

<v Speaker 1>is some sort of agreement that was made between Paul

<v Speaker 1>Hayman and gun I don't like that either, because it

<v Speaker 1>just it doesn't really fit the Gunther persona. Gunther doesn't

<v Speaker 1>do this just for money. Gunther doesn't. He does this

<v Speaker 1>for sport. You know. He does this because right the

<v Speaker 1>ring is sacred, the mad is sacred, and he feels

<v Speaker 1>like he is the greatest professional wrestler in the world today.

<v Speaker 1>In fact, Michael Cole just said the other day that

<v Speaker 1>he believes Gunther is the greatest professional wrestler in the

<v Speaker 1>world today. So him, you know, taking money from Paul

<v Speaker 1>Hayman and working out some sort of deal with the

<v Speaker 1>Vision to kind of do their dirty work for them

<v Speaker 1>and take out Seth Rollins. It could be the story,

<v Speaker 1>but I just feel like it's a complete it's a mismatch.

<v Speaker 1>It doesn't really make sense for the Gunther character. So

<v Speaker 1>I'm very curious how they explain this on the show

<v Speaker 1>next week because we have to get some sort of

<v Speaker 1>explanation for the time being, though, I'm very happy that

<v Speaker 1>we finally have him back on the show and that

<v Speaker 1>they have something for him to do at WrestleMania. I

<v Speaker 1>know it feels underwhelming. Course it feels underwhelming. It's a

<v Speaker 1>match that was made out of nowhere. Nowhere. These two

<v Speaker 1>men have no history together and there was never any

<v Speaker 1>hint of anything. We are less than a month away

<v Speaker 1>from WrestleMania, but injuries have ravaged several of the matches

<v Speaker 1>that clearly they were planning ondoing bron Breaker. One thing

<v Speaker 1>that is clear from this bron Breaker is either not

<v Speaker 1>medically cleared or they simply don't want to take a

<v Speaker 1>chance with him because the guy had hernia's surgery emergency

<v Speaker 1>hernia surgery that is major surgery. And I even said

<v Speaker 1>it at the time, like, oh, well, we'll see what

<v Speaker 1>happens if he can make it back in time. But

<v Speaker 1>if I'm wwe I'm certainly not going to rush this

<v Speaker 1>guy back because that would be stupid, right, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>you want to build around this guy is one of

<v Speaker 1>the building blocks of your future. You don't rush him

<v Speaker 1>back from an injury like that. If he's not medically

<v Speaker 1>cleared or they're not sure that this is the right

<v Speaker 1>thing to be doing right now, you air in the

<v Speaker 1>side of caution. You keep him out of the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Clearly he's not ready to come back yet. Raymistereo clearly

<v Speaker 1>not ready to come back yet. So this was their

<v Speaker 1>Plan B or Plan C, right, I mean they were

<v Speaker 1>in a position where we have to come up with

<v Speaker 1>something to do here. What can we come up with

<v Speaker 1>these two guys to do on this show? We need

<v Speaker 1>something for Rollin's and we need something for gun there,

<v Speaker 1>and we certainly can't leave them off the show. And

<v Speaker 1>we're not gonna stick them in a multi man match,

<v Speaker 1>or we're not gonna put them in a segment with

<v Speaker 1>you know, fucking Tom Brady. So we need to figure

<v Speaker 1>out what are we going to do with these two men? Well,

<v Speaker 1>why don't we just match them up together because they

<v Speaker 1>can go out there and they can at least have

<v Speaker 1>a really good wrestling match. And then we'll try to

<v Speaker 1>construct some sort of story around it. It's not the

<v Speaker 1>ideal situation. It's not the match that I wanted for

<v Speaker 1>either man at WRESTLEMANI I wish they would have gone

<v Speaker 1>in different directions, and they would have, but again, injuries happen.

<v Speaker 1>They got bit by the injury bug, and this is

<v Speaker 1>where we are. I'm just happy that he's finally back

<v Speaker 1>on the show and now let's see what the explanation is.

<v Speaker 1>Let's wait and see how they explain this next week.

<v Speaker 1>But at least now we know what these two men

<v Speaker 1>are doing on the card. Balor and Dominic. We kind

<v Speaker 1>of saw that we were gonna be getting that. It's

<v Speaker 1>official now, Finn Balor Dominic mysterio. They will have a

<v Speaker 1>match of WrestleMania, and we are gonna have a fatal

<v Speaker 1>four way for the women's tag team titles. So there's

<v Speaker 1>directions that seem pretty clear, but we're not official yet.

<v Speaker 1>They made a whole bunch of matches official, we still

<v Speaker 1>don't know what matches are happening on which night, which

<v Speaker 1>really isn't even relevant at this point. We're still three

<v Speaker 1>weeks away. Usually I think they wait until the week

<v Speaker 1>of I don't even think they're gonna know. I don't

<v Speaker 1>think they know beyond the main events, what matches they

<v Speaker 1>want on which night. So there's still time to find

<v Speaker 1>out about that. But as I mentioned, John Cena will

<v Speaker 1>be the host of WrestleMania. He recorded a little video

<v Speaker 1>earlier today, so they replayed that on the show tonight. Look,

<v Speaker 1>it was a better show than SmackDown on Friday. I

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't say it was like a great Raw, but you

<v Speaker 1>know what, it wasn't a bad show. It wasn't a

<v Speaker 1>bad show. I just I'm still hungover from that show

<v Speaker 1>on Friday, where I was appalled by what I saw,

<v Speaker 1>one of the worst shows all year. It would have

<v Speaker 1>been hard, I think, to do a show for Madison

<v Speaker 1>Square Garden tonight. This is like home base for them

<v Speaker 1>and have a show that was worse than the one

<v Speaker 1>they gave us on Friday. Especially kind of shuddering now

<v Speaker 1>at the idea of what a SmackDown gonna look like

<v Speaker 1>at the end of this week. I don't know what

<v Speaker 1>to expect anymore. But I didn't think this was a

<v Speaker 1>bad show. Tonight. We'll talk about it. This is your

<v Speaker 1>Raw on Netflix review. It is Monday Night, March thirtieth,

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six. I am a solam master. Thank you

<v Speaker 1>guys for hanging out with me on another Monday Night.

<v Speaker 1>Here we are again, like and subscribe, super chats are open.

<v Speaker 1>I will be reading your messages a little bit later on.

<v Speaker 1>You'll see them popping up on screen if and when

<v Speaker 1>they come in and we do a little thing here

<v Speaker 1>with the WEE, We're going to see what our likes

<v Speaker 1>goal is for our be the Bookers segment. This will

<v Speaker 1>be the minimum number of likes that we need. Hey, SENMPI,

<v Speaker 1>what's going on? Let's find out here? Three fifty? What

<v Speaker 1>was it on Friday? It was like seven hundred. I

<v Speaker 1>think all right, well we're already at two ninety, so

<v Speaker 1>three point fifty should be a gimme. And then we

<v Speaker 1>have the bonus goal, the Superchad goal going on in

<v Speaker 1>the chat. Shout out to Aggie Fan becoming a channel member.

<v Speaker 1>Welcome brother. SmackDown is going to be a train wreck. Probably, yes, Probably.

<v Speaker 1>Speaking of SmackDown, they brought some SmackDown to Monday Night

<v Speaker 1>Raw tonight because the show opened with the WWE champion,

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown's own Cody Rhodes open the show tonight here in

<v Speaker 1>Madison Square Garden. And why not. I mean, look, SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>is such a depressing place to be. I've talked about

<v Speaker 1>how many different people look depressed on that show. If

<v Speaker 1>I were on the show, I would flee to Raw

<v Speaker 1>as well. I would emigrate from SmackDown to Monday Night Raw.

<v Speaker 1>I would cross the border from SmackDown to Raw, start

<v Speaker 1>a brand new life in a much happier place, the

<v Speaker 1>land of opportunity Monday Night Raw. Of course, Cody Roads

<v Speaker 1>doesn't need the land of opportunity. Cody Roads is the

<v Speaker 1>golden boy. So he comes out to the ring mostly cheers.

<v Speaker 1>There were some booze, there were some scattered booze, but

<v Speaker 1>I would say he got a mostly positive reception here.

<v Speaker 1>And of course you wanted to know what do you

<v Speaker 1>want to talk about? What do you want to talk about?

<v Speaker 1>Acknowledge me? What do you want to talk about? They're

<v Speaker 1>like pollsterring dolls. Every promo starts exactly the same way.

<v Speaker 1>We got a bunch of pollstring dolls here on the roster. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>you're right, SmackDown his Jellytown. It's a good point, all

<v Speaker 1>the more reason to get away. Cody didn't really have

<v Speaker 1>to get to say much here before he was interrupted by,

<v Speaker 1>of all people, Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie comes out, why is

<v Speaker 1>she here? I'm watching this just like all of you are.

<v Speaker 1>Why is this woman here? Hall of Famer by the way,

<v Speaker 1>soon to be Hall of Famer Stephanie McMahon, and she

<v Speaker 1>wanted to talk to Cody about Randy Orton and WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>but Cody's not gonna like what she has to say.

<v Speaker 1>She said that she used to sit in the crowd

<v Speaker 1>right over there, right here at Madison Square Garden. I

<v Speaker 1>used to sit in the crowd right over there, and

<v Speaker 1>On the Giant would touch her as he went to

<v Speaker 1>the ring. I don't think she meant it like that,

<v Speaker 1>but it took all of sixty seconds from the time

<v Speaker 1>that she started speaking to get an Andrea mentioned. She

<v Speaker 1>loves mentioning that Andrea was her friend. Andre the Giant

<v Speaker 1>was her friend. She never misses an opportunity. I'd look

<v Speaker 1>if I was friends with Andrea the Giant, I would

<v Speaker 1>probably tell people to but we always get the Andre

<v Speaker 1>mentioned from her. So she said, all of them, Cody, Randy, herself,

<v Speaker 1>all knew what it's like to get to the top

<v Speaker 1>but they all took very different paths to get there.

<v Speaker 1>Cody took the golden path, and he believes that he

<v Speaker 1>can bring out the best in people. Cody can't this time, though,

<v Speaker 1>not with this version of Randy Orton. She said, this

<v Speaker 1>version of Randy Orton is diabolical. Cody has to be

<v Speaker 1>able to think like Randy. You know your father, he

<v Speaker 1>understood better than anybody. Dusty could get down and dirty

<v Speaker 1>with the best of them. But Cody is not his father.

<v Speaker 1>This version of Cody cannot beat this version of Randy

<v Speaker 1>ort So the fans begin chanting Randy's name. There's a

<v Speaker 1>common chant that we're hearing every single wee Randy, Randy.

<v Speaker 1>Cody doesn't want to be rude to Stephanie, but he

<v Speaker 1>knows everything about Randy ort He knows all of Randy's

<v Speaker 1>accomplishments and everything he's ever done. There's some stuff that

<v Speaker 1>Randy has done that they can't even show on TV today,

<v Speaker 1>and some of them involve Stephanie. Fans wanted the student

<v Speaker 1>teacher dynamic from the two of them, but he ceased

<v Speaker 1>being the student a long time ago. He wasn't the

<v Speaker 1>student when he was Orton's babysitter, making sure that Orton

<v Speaker 1>was still breathing in the car when they rode together

<v Speaker 1>the Shawn Michaels path. But she's right, he admitted that

<v Speaker 1>she's right. Cody is not Dusty. But with all respect, Stephanie,

<v Speaker 1>you are not your father either, and that got a

<v Speaker 1>reaction from people. I'm also thinking that when Cody said

<v Speaker 1>that you are not your father, there was a collective

<v Speaker 1>sigh of relief from all of the women who work

<v Speaker 1>in WWE. If not, there should be so Stephanie, at

<v Speaker 1>that point she slapped Cody. This is her thing. We

<v Speaker 1>got the trademark. Stephanie McMahon's slap not her best slap.

<v Speaker 1>We've seen this woman slap people across the face before

<v Speaker 1>where it sounds like a gunshot going off. She held back,

<v Speaker 1>She held I mean, look, Cody is the Golden Boy.

<v Speaker 1>We don't need another Travis Scott situation where the guy

<v Speaker 1>gets a ruptured ear drum or this close to WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>and she tells him that, look, I'm here because I

<v Speaker 1>care about you. She was there because no one else

<v Speaker 1>was giving him any guidance. Orton isn't just listening to

<v Speaker 1>the voices in his head. He beckoned them, and it

<v Speaker 1>looked he was listening to someone else as well, until

<v Speaker 1>Cody learned to think, like Randy, you will lose the

<v Speaker 1>WWE Championship at Wrestlemaney. So Cody, well, first of all,

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie went to go leave, Cody grabbed her by the

<v Speaker 1>arm and stopped her, and he says, I got two

<v Speaker 1>words for you, thank you, And then Cody left to

<v Speaker 1>a mixed reaction, a lot more mixed than it was

<v Speaker 1>when he initially came out, and the announcers talked about

<v Speaker 1>how this was some tough love from Stephanie McMahon. I'm

<v Speaker 1>just wondering, is it. Is it tough love or Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>McMahon the one that Randy Orton has been chatting up

<v Speaker 1>on the phone or would that be a little too

<v Speaker 1>obvious that? That was my main thought coming out of

<v Speaker 1>this segment. Why else would Stephanie McMahon be here. I

<v Speaker 1>know Stephanie and Randy Orton have history, and Randy Orton

<v Speaker 1>has dropped her before with an arcade Like I get that,

<v Speaker 1>and I get what they were going for here, but

<v Speaker 1>why her, Like of all the people that have been

<v Speaker 1>assaulted by Randy Orton, over the years. Who could have

<v Speaker 1>walked out here. Why, Stephanie, I don't know. Makes you wonder.

<v Speaker 1>We still have to find out who he's been on

<v Speaker 1>the phone with. And look, I don't think it was

<v Speaker 1>such a crazy idea. The people who have been saying, well,

<v Speaker 1>maybe he's not on the phone with anybody. Maybe Randy

<v Speaker 1>Orton has been on the phone with himself because he's

<v Speaker 1>hearing the voices in his head. And I might have

<v Speaker 1>subscribed to that. That would have been fucking lame. I

<v Speaker 1>might have subscribed to that until Friday, when in his

<v Speaker 1>promo he made it very clear that it was a voice,

<v Speaker 1>the one voice he said outside of his own head

<v Speaker 1>that he was listening to. So we know it's an

<v Speaker 1>actual human being, But we still haven't solved the mystery.

<v Speaker 1>We haven't cracked the code of who he's been on

<v Speaker 1>the phone with. Maybe we got our answer tonight. It's

<v Speaker 1>definitely possible. Backstage, we see I show Speed he's back again.

<v Speaker 1>He's asking Adam Pierce, where is Dan Housen. So Dan

<v Speaker 1>Housen appears, and Speed is asking to be uncursed because

<v Speaker 1>it's just been just one shit storm after another for

<v Speaker 1>him all week long. He's missing flights. All of these

<v Speaker 1>terrible things are happening to him. Please take the curse off.

<v Speaker 1>And Dan Housen has a list of all these crazy demands.

<v Speaker 1>He wants a billion dollars and he wants his own

<v Speaker 1>camera boy, and Speed says no. So Pierce tries to

<v Speaker 1>cheer up Speed. He tells him, look, we've got a

<v Speaker 1>front row seat for you for the Tag Team Championship

<v Speaker 1>match which is coming up next. And then La Night

<v Speaker 1>shows up and we find out that La Knight is

<v Speaker 1>going to be the guest commentator for the match. They

<v Speaker 1>found a role for him here as we head down

<v Speaker 1>the road to WrestleMania. He's the special guest commentator. Soon

<v Speaker 1>he'll be the special guest timekeeper. Then he'll be a

<v Speaker 1>special guest referee. Maybe he could be a janitor. The

<v Speaker 1>way that Aj styles was that one time on Raw.

<v Speaker 1>There's any number of roles that La and I could

<v Speaker 1>have on the show. So we had the USOS against

<v Speaker 1>Logan Paul in Austin theory. This was for the World

<v Speaker 1>Tag Team titles in New York City, So it's a

<v Speaker 1>New York City street fight rematch from last week, which

<v Speaker 1>was non title. The USSOS have a new theme song.

<v Speaker 1>Now it's it's just us oos. It's not just me ooz,

<v Speaker 1>it's us Look, it beats them both coming out to

<v Speaker 1>Jay Usso's theme. At least now they have one that

<v Speaker 1>they can share. Maybe maybe maybe they went a minute

<v Speaker 1>before they went to a commercial break, and we had

<v Speaker 1>six of them one, two, three, four, five, six, six ads.

<v Speaker 1>I feel like we missed more than half the match.

<v Speaker 1>But anyway, this is your typical WWE weapons match, not

<v Speaker 1>a particularly good one. I thought it was actually pretty lame.

<v Speaker 1>Huso's places the trash can over Logan's head, started hitting

<v Speaker 1>him with Kendostick shots, and they gave Theory a double

<v Speaker 1>superplex from the middle rope through a table that they

<v Speaker 1>had set up in the ring. So outside the ring,

<v Speaker 1>Logan walks over to this woman in the front row

<v Speaker 1>that we are told is Logan Paul's mom, So she's

<v Speaker 1>to blame. So he goes over to his mom and

<v Speaker 1>she hands him a pair of brass knuckles. I show

<v Speaker 1>Speed is sitting in the crowd right next to Logan's mom,

<v Speaker 1>and he's it looks like he's trying to like talk

<v Speaker 1>Logan out of doing this. No, no, no, come on,

<v Speaker 1>don't do it. So La Knight goes over to go

<v Speaker 1>after Logan, and Logan grabs on to Speed, who ends

<v Speaker 1>up being dragged over the barricade. And now he's in

<v Speaker 1>the ringside area here. So one thing I forgot to

<v Speaker 1>mention is at the beginning of this when La Knight

<v Speaker 1>made his entrance, I mean, poor La Knight. You know

<v Speaker 1>I talked about what happened last week. La Knight did

<v Speaker 1>a run in last week during the previous tag team

<v Speaker 1>match between these two teams, and he came out from

<v Speaker 1>the crowd. Now, I don't know how many of you,

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure some of you at least have seen the

<v Speaker 1>video clip of what happened last week. It was a

<v Speaker 1>fan shot video from their phone. La Knight comes running

<v Speaker 1>through the crowd and he jumps over the barricade, but

<v Speaker 1>he slipped, like in mid air. Somehow he slipped, and

<v Speaker 1>just the way that he went flying over the barricade

<v Speaker 1>and then vanished as he splatted on the ground. It

<v Speaker 1>was the funniest fucking thing I've seen all year. Like,

<v Speaker 1>it was hilarious. I feel bad for the guy, but

<v Speaker 1>it was fucking hilarious. So this week he comes out

<v Speaker 1>and you know how he does this thing where he

<v Speaker 1>gets up on the apron and then he'll get up

<v Speaker 1>on ther and he'll do his little you know, he'll

<v Speaker 1>do his a little pose. He he goes up to

<v Speaker 1>sit on the ropes and he slipped and he almost

<v Speaker 1>fell backwards. Thank I mean, thank god for this guy.

<v Speaker 1>He was able to hold on and kind of pull

<v Speaker 1>himself back up before he I mean, that would have

<v Speaker 1>been that would have been it like that. That's it

<v Speaker 1>career over. If he would have fallen and have gone

<v Speaker 1>all the way down to the ground, assuming he didn't

<v Speaker 1>hurt himself. I don't see how he could show his

<v Speaker 1>face in public again after that. But here's the thing.

<v Speaker 1>If you go back and you watch when he slipped

<v Speaker 1>and it looked like he was starting to fall backwards.

<v Speaker 1>Of all the people you talk about the pot calling

<v Speaker 1>the kettle black, of all the people to literally point

<v Speaker 1>and mock him and make fun of him and laugh

<v Speaker 1>at him. Jay Uso in the row, are you fucking

<v Speaker 1>kidding me? Jay Uso is pointing at him, going, oh,

<v Speaker 1>you botched La Botch. Really, it has not been a

<v Speaker 1>good month for La Knight. Going back to the Botch

<v Speaker 1>inside the elimination chamber, him having his little bursa sack issue,

<v Speaker 1>which is why he hasn't worked a match in over

<v Speaker 1>a month. Last week's Prattfall Tonight. It's been a rough

<v Speaker 1>go for La Night, and it might be a rougher

<v Speaker 1>go very soon as we'll get to here. So anyway,

<v Speaker 1>I Show Speed looks down and the brass knucks are

<v Speaker 1>laying on the ground, so he picks them up and

<v Speaker 1>he puts them on his hand. La Knight, having thrown

<v Speaker 1>Logan Paul into the ring post, comes walking back in

<v Speaker 1>the direction of I Show Speed. Speed's got his back turn,

<v Speaker 1>so when Night comes up to him, he doesn't know

<v Speaker 1>who it is, and when he turns around, he blasts

<v Speaker 1>him right in the head with the knucks. Knocks down

<v Speaker 1>La Knight and he plays it like, oh, he was

<v Speaker 1>an accident. He didn't mean to do that. So Jay,

<v Speaker 1>meanwhile in the ring, give Austin Theory a shitty spear

<v Speaker 1>and he goes to the top. Jimmy meanwhile, was going

<v Speaker 1>to go out for a dive onto Logan, who was

<v Speaker 1>back to his feet. Logan has the knucks again now,

<v Speaker 1>so when Jimmy tries to go out for a dive,

<v Speaker 1>he gets blasted right in the face with the Knucks

<v Speaker 1>and Jimmy is out. Jay sees this, he climbs down

<v Speaker 1>from the top. He chooses to dive off the apron

<v Speaker 1>onto Logan, but that allows Austin theory in the ring

<v Speaker 1>to cover an unconscious Jimmy Usso and pin him to

<v Speaker 1>win the World Tag Team titles, and that is how

<v Speaker 1>the Vision wins the championships. So a few things here. First,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not surprised that they change the titles. I was

<v Speaker 1>expecting them to change them last week at the last second.

<v Speaker 1>They changed it from a title match to a non

<v Speaker 1>title match this week. I guess they just wanted to

<v Speaker 1>wait and do it a Madison Square garden, I guess

<v Speaker 1>I mean that. And there was that appearance that they

<v Speaker 1>were supposed to make on the first MLB game on Netflix,

<v Speaker 1>and so suposed ly wwe wanted them there with the belts.

<v Speaker 1>I don't even think Jimmy was there. But them losing

<v Speaker 1>the titles here not a surprise. Second of all, what

<v Speaker 1>a terrible way to change the tag team titles. I

<v Speaker 1>just thought that was just incredibly lame. And number three,

<v Speaker 1>I think we just found out who La Knight. If

<v Speaker 1>anyone is wrestling or WrestleMania, it looks like if La

<v Speaker 1>Knight is to have a match on that show, he

<v Speaker 1>will be wrestling I Show Speed. Now Speed is someone

<v Speaker 1>He's very athletic, and the few appearances that we've seen

<v Speaker 1>him make before he's done fine. Obviously the best one

<v Speaker 1>was him taking the spear from Brown Breaker at the

<v Speaker 1>Royal Rumble last year. That was fantastic. So in terms

<v Speaker 1>of celebrities coming in to do something, whether it's a

<v Speaker 1>match or an appearance or whatever it may be, I

<v Speaker 1>can think of worse celebrities to have in to be

<v Speaker 1>doing stuff. But the idea that La Knight's only way

<v Speaker 1>into WrestleMania at this point looks to be a match

<v Speaker 1>with a social media influencer, with a YouTuber, it's pretty

<v Speaker 1>fucking sad. It's sad, even sad or that we have

<v Speaker 1>to consider the possibility that La Knight may lose to

<v Speaker 1>I Show Speed at WrestleMania, Like I could see Dan

<v Speaker 1>Hausen lifting the curse and I Show Speed wins. Can

<v Speaker 1>you imagine that? What would the La Knight fans out there?

<v Speaker 1>What would they do? How would they react if La

<v Speaker 1>knight went to WrestleMania and lost to I Show Speed

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, wouldn't be pretty. I know that, but

<v Speaker 1>that's what it looks to be right now if he's

<v Speaker 1>going to wrestle on that show. And again he had

<v Speaker 1>the you know, the Bursa sack on his elbow, and

<v Speaker 1>then he tweeted out like that's not going to stop

<v Speaker 1>me from being a WrestleMania. So let's assume he's going

<v Speaker 1>to be healthy and you know his health will not

<v Speaker 1>be an issue. Then there's your match. You know, on

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown we have Jelly Roll and on Raw we have

<v Speaker 1>I Show Speed. Each show has their own residence celebrity

<v Speaker 1>now heading into WrestleMania. But I pointed this out also

<v Speaker 1>on Twitter when the match was over. I can't remember

<v Speaker 1>a period and I know, like in the Attitude era

<v Speaker 1>that I mean the championships, mainly the world title back

<v Speaker 1>in ninety nine was like a hot potato between Rock

<v Speaker 1>and Mankind. It must have changed hands at least three

<v Speaker 1>times before they even got to WrestleMania. I can't remember

<v Speaker 1>a period of time though, where we were this close,

<v Speaker 1>like within a month or two of WrestleMania, where so

<v Speaker 1>many championships changed. Instead of waiting for WrestleMania, they've decided

<v Speaker 1>to change at least four different championships since the beginning

<v Speaker 1>of the month. It's I can't remember that ever happening before.

<v Speaker 1>We had Cody Rhodes winning the WWE title back from

<v Speaker 1>Drew MacIntyre, right that was earlier this month. It was

<v Speaker 1>the first smack down, I believe. For the month of March.

<v Speaker 1>We had Penta taking the Intercontinental title from Dominic Mysterio. Friday,

<v Speaker 1>we had sammy' zain winning the United States Championship from

<v Speaker 1>Carmelo Hayes, which I pissed off a lot of people.

<v Speaker 1>We had Damian Priest in Our Truth a couple of

<v Speaker 1>weeks ago winning the WWE tag team titles from the MFTs,

<v Speaker 1>and now the other tag team titles on Raw have

<v Speaker 1>changed hands. The Vision takes the titles away from the USOS.

<v Speaker 1>And this is all just weeks before WrestleMania. So on

<v Speaker 1>the one hand, you look at that and it's like, well,

<v Speaker 1>it was kind of unpredictable. I don't think anybody expected

<v Speaker 1>there to be that many title changes. But on the

<v Speaker 1>other hand, it just it also kind of feels to

<v Speaker 1>me to be very it's almost like desp like, I

<v Speaker 1>don't think that this is something that they concocted months ago,

<v Speaker 1>where it's like, Okay, we have all of these different,

<v Speaker 1>you know, pads that we want to go. All of

<v Speaker 1>these title changes were like mapped out months in advance,

<v Speaker 1>and there's all like a rhyme or a reason to it.

<v Speaker 1>It doesn't feel that way to me. It just kind

<v Speaker 1>of feels like, to some extent, they've been kind of

<v Speaker 1>throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. And

<v Speaker 1>injuries have played a role in the build up to

<v Speaker 1>this WrestleMania show. But I don't know. I mean, all

<v Speaker 1>these title changes and I just I don't get the

<v Speaker 1>sense that there's some grand plan for all of them.

<v Speaker 1>Live Morgan, she's going to be challenging for a championship

<v Speaker 1>at WrestleMania. The Women's World Championship shockingly has not changed

<v Speaker 1>hands yet. It did change hands actually before WrestleMania last year,

<v Speaker 1>but not yet this year. So she came to the

<v Speaker 1>ring by herself to cut a short promo talking about

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Vicaire. She says, you're done for bitch. She said

<v Speaker 1>that takes offense to Stephanie attacking her family, referring to

<v Speaker 1>the judgment day, referring to dominic Stephanie has no family

<v Speaker 1>and all she can do is sneak attack. Her mother

<v Speaker 1>taught her Live's mother, that is, taught her never to

<v Speaker 1>let anyone get the best of you asked for Stephanie's mother,

<v Speaker 1>and then she said in Spanish, your mother is trash bitch.

<v Speaker 1>That wasn't very nice. So those words brought out Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>and Vicaire just starts kicking her ass. She goes outside

<v Speaker 1>the ring, she grabs the steel chair and she's gonna

<v Speaker 1>bring the chair into the ring, only for Roxane Perez

<v Speaker 1>to return and she attacks Stephanie from behind. We have

<v Speaker 1>not seen Roxane in many months. She had surgery and

<v Speaker 1>it was a little question whether or not she would

<v Speaker 1>make it back in time. I mean, I don't even

<v Speaker 1>know if it matters because I don't see her having

<v Speaker 1>a match on that show. But it's good to see

<v Speaker 1>her back. It's good to see her back and healthy

<v Speaker 1>again and medically cleared. And so Live had a little

<v Speaker 1>backup here, No Raquel. Raquel was in a match later

<v Speaker 1>on a little weird that she didn't show up here,

<v Speaker 1>But this was all just to set up the return

<v Speaker 1>of Rock Sane. We go backstage, I show Speed is

<v Speaker 1>talking to Logan, Paul and Austin Theory, who were celebrating

<v Speaker 1>their tag team championship win, and Speed is trying to

<v Speaker 1>explain to them, like, guys, I you know, I didn't

<v Speaker 1>mean to do that. I didn't mean to get involved.

<v Speaker 1>And this man was having regrets. So Paul Hayman shows

<v Speaker 1>up and he tells Speed not to worry. You're in

<v Speaker 1>good hands and the new champions they'll protect you. So

<v Speaker 1>he tells Logan and Theory take Speed, go out to dinner,

<v Speaker 1>go to a steakhouse or whatever. Just take celebrate, go out,

<v Speaker 1>have a meal, enjoy the evening. And as they all leave, Hayman,

<v Speaker 1>you know, mutters to himself, man, the use sellers are

<v Speaker 1>going to kill this guy. So then Adam Pierce shows up,

<v Speaker 1>and Pierce wants to know if Hayman had checked his email.

<v Speaker 1>He wanted to know if Paul Hayman had checked his

<v Speaker 1>his hotmail address, because you know, Paul Hayman probably has

<v Speaker 1>a hotmail, hot mail or AOL either one. Does anybody

<v Speaker 1>in here hat still have a hotmail email address? So

<v Speaker 1>Hayman is wondering, why did you email me, like were

<v Speaker 1>you inviting me out on a date? And Pierce tells

<v Speaker 1>him there's something very wrong with you. I'll tell you

<v Speaker 1>what's wrong with this whole scenario here. I'm thinking to myself, like,

<v Speaker 1>why is Adam Pierce emailing Paul Hayman. He's him at

<v Speaker 1>the building every single week. He also has his phone number,

<v Speaker 1>so he has to know that he could just text

<v Speaker 1>message the guy if he has to reach him in

<v Speaker 1>a timely fashion. Why is he emailing Paul Hayman? I

<v Speaker 1>thought that was a little strange. All right, Let's see,

<v Speaker 1>we have a bunch of aols in here. Look at

<v Speaker 1>this man. We still have a lot of AOL people.

<v Speaker 1>We got a Yahoo guy outlook. I know that some

<v Speaker 1>of you have a hot mail email and you browse

<v Speaker 1>the web in the old Netscape browser. Okay, I know

<v Speaker 1>I know some of you. I know some of you

<v Speaker 1>old heads. You're using Netscape. You're wondering, how come I

<v Speaker 1>can't download AOL anymore? Where's my AOL keyword? NYA? Jacks

<v Speaker 1>Hey Dev, Hey dev, Welcome to the channel. It's nineteen

<v Speaker 1>ninety four, brother, enjoy your stay. Jackson Lash Legend against

<v Speaker 1>Bailey and Lyra Valkyria Women's Tag Team Championships on the line.

<v Speaker 1>Gee I wonder what's gonna happen here in this match.

<v Speaker 1>So we see clips from SmackDown where the Bella Twins

<v Speaker 1>got the win over Charlotte and Alexa, then Lash and Naia.

<v Speaker 1>They basically started kicking their asses until Bailey and Lyra

<v Speaker 1>made the save and that leads to where we are tonight,

<v Speaker 1>Bailey and Lyra getting a shot of the titles. Michael

<v Speaker 1>Coles said that this was the first time since nineteen

<v Speaker 1>eighty seven, between the Glamour Girls and the Jumping Bomb

<v Speaker 1>Angels that a set of women's tag team titles were

<v Speaker 1>being defended inside Madison Square. Guard Love the Jumping Bomb

<v Speaker 1>Angels weird to go back and when you see some

<v Speaker 1>of the old matches, like even Royal Rumble eighty eight,

<v Speaker 1>you go back and watch some of those old Jumping

<v Speaker 1>Bomb Angels matches in WWE, it was unlike anything that

<v Speaker 1>you were gonna see on television at that time. It

<v Speaker 1>was like they were ten I mean do they were

<v Speaker 1>like twenty years ahead of their time. And I saw

<v Speaker 1>one of them was on social media a few months ago,

<v Speaker 1>Lobby and they actually had a petition they were circulating

<v Speaker 1>to get WWE's attention so that they would be inducted

<v Speaker 1>into the Hall of Fame. Doesn't look like they're going

<v Speaker 1>into the Hall of Fame this year. Usually doesn't work

<v Speaker 1>out that way when you lobby publicly for it. But

<v Speaker 1>they deserve to be in there at some point. Absolutely absolutely.

<v Speaker 1>They were way ahead of their time, at least in

<v Speaker 1>terms of this company. I mean, obviously women's wrestling existed

<v Speaker 1>outside of WWE, but in this company, way ahead of

<v Speaker 1>their time. So Bailey took a hot tag late in

<v Speaker 1>the match, and she got a little run of offense

<v Speaker 1>before she got stopped. Nya set up for the Annihilator. Bailey, though,

<v Speaker 1>got underneath her, had Naya on her shoulders, took a

<v Speaker 1>few steps with her, and then power bombed her. So

<v Speaker 1>here come the Bella Twins. Now. Last week, Nikki Bella

<v Speaker 1>got hurt on SmackDown. She was limping. It looked like

<v Speaker 1>baby she sprained her ankle. Hopefully that's all it was.

<v Speaker 1>Turns out that's exactly what happened. She sprained her ankle.

<v Speaker 1>I believe it was earlier today. She said that she

<v Speaker 1>expects to be back within seven to ten days, and

<v Speaker 1>she was spotted in a walking boot earlier. She came

<v Speaker 1>out here there was no sign of any walking boot,

<v Speaker 1>so they start walking down the aisle. Charlotte and Alexa

<v Speaker 1>Bliss they're bringing it up the rear. They're walking behind

<v Speaker 1>these two. Now they're coming down to the ring and

<v Speaker 1>all four women they get into an argument. Lyra Valkeria

<v Speaker 1>then goes outside the ring to confront them in the

<v Speaker 1>middle of this championship match. I don't know what she

<v Speaker 1>was thinking, but she goes out there to confront them.

<v Speaker 1>So Nya throws her into Charlotte and Alexa Lash legend

<v Speaker 1>took out the bellas. This all led to Charlotte and

<v Speaker 1>Alexa running into the ring to cause the unbelievably lame disqualification. Predictable, predictable,

<v Speaker 1>but fucking lame disqualification. So Naya and Lash they retain

<v Speaker 1>their tag team titles. I have to say, this women's

<v Speaker 1>tag team title stuff they've done on both shows, but

<v Speaker 1>especially SmackDown over the last few weeks is hot garbage,

<v Speaker 1>and I like some of the women who were involved here.

<v Speaker 1>All of this women's tag team title shit though, has

<v Speaker 1>been just fucking terrible. But at least now we got

<v Speaker 1>the official announcement it will be a fatal four way,

<v Speaker 1>so we don't have to wonder anymore. Five teams, six

<v Speaker 1>Teams Naya in Lash they're gonna defend against CHARLESA, the

<v Speaker 1>Bella Twins and Bailey Lyra. That match is now official

<v Speaker 1>for WrestleMania. I'm happy just because at least at WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>wee can end this once and for all. We've seen

<v Speaker 1>so many different combinations of these teams, and none of

<v Speaker 1>it has been terribly interesting. The matches have not been

<v Speaker 1>particularly good. It's just like this is just not hitting

<v Speaker 1>and unfortunately, to get to where we need it to be,

<v Speaker 1>we have seen all of these finishes in these Like

<v Speaker 1>the matches themselves are not great, the finishes that they've

<v Speaker 1>done for these matches just sucked the life, suck the

<v Speaker 1>air out of these buildings. And these people just don't

<v Speaker 1>care about any of this. This has been some of

<v Speaker 1>the worst honestly, when I think of these matches that

<v Speaker 1>are being built up for WrestleMania, as far as this

<v Speaker 1>build is concerned, this has basically been the worst part

<v Speaker 1>of it so far. It's just awful. This week's episode

<v Speaker 1>this week, they saved brock Lesns not for the beginning

<v Speaker 1>of the show. They saved him for the middle of

<v Speaker 1>the show. It was nine to fifteen pm Eastern time,

<v Speaker 1>and here comes brock Lesner, and you know, he was

<v Speaker 1>extra salty that he couldn't leave early tonight. So he's

<v Speaker 1>out there with Paul Hayman. Hayman said that he was

<v Speaker 1>out there to pontificate on the perils that await oba femi.

<v Speaker 1>So you got to say it the way that Paul

<v Speaker 1>Hayman says it. He doesn't just say oba femi. He

<v Speaker 1>goes oba. He has to over enunciate everything oba Femi.

<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm like listening to him like hooked

<v Speaker 1>on Phonics or something hosted by Paul Hayman. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if he does it just to kind of stretch

<v Speaker 1>for time in these promos or what this is. If

<v Speaker 1>it's a common Paul Hayman tactic here in these promos.

<v Speaker 1>So anyway, he said two weeks ago brock Lesner was

<v Speaker 1>distracted by Seth Rollins and he was caught off guard

<v Speaker 1>by Oba Femi. Last week, Brockolesner was not dressed to fight,

<v Speaker 1>He just wanted a conversation with Oba Femi. Well, tonight,

<v Speaker 1>brock Lesner is dressed to fight because Brockolesner has authorized

<v Speaker 1>him to let everybody know that he has seen it

<v Speaker 1>happen for twenty five years in WWE and UFC that

<v Speaker 1>when someone looks, just even looks at brock Locke's eyes

<v Speaker 1>with brock Lesner, that man pisses all over himself. And

<v Speaker 1>he just kept blathering on and on and on here

<v Speaker 1>until finally Brock got fed up and he swiped the

<v Speaker 1>mic out of his hand. That he told Oba to

<v Speaker 1>get his ass out here to the ring. So Adam

<v Speaker 1>Pierce came out instead. Definitely not Oba Femi Pierce comes out.

<v Speaker 1>He rained on the parade. He said, I've got a

<v Speaker 1>wrestle media match to protect, and everyone's booing him and

<v Speaker 1>he I know, I know, but I got to wrestle

<v Speaker 1>many a match that I have to protect. So he

<v Speaker 1>told Brock this is not gonna happen. This will not

<v Speaker 1>be happening tonight. He told Haimon and Lesner to leave

<v Speaker 1>the ring. Well, Opa Femi apparently never got that memo.

<v Speaker 1>I guess he never read the email, nor did the

<v Speaker 1>sound guy or the person responsible for the lights in

<v Speaker 1>the arena, because the lights went out and we heard

<v Speaker 1>Obafemi's music. And so out comes the ruler and he's

<v Speaker 1>strutting out onto the stage. He's strutting all his way

<v Speaker 1>all the way down the aisle coming down to the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Two security geeks they charge at him for some reason.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know why they ran at him, and so

<v Speaker 1>he just shoulder tackled them down to the ground. Same

<v Speaker 1>with the next wave that came charging in one of

<v Speaker 1>the guys. He launched into the air, and the way

<v Speaker 1>he landed on his hip, I do not envy how

<v Speaker 1>that must have felt, but it looked great. So when

<v Speaker 1>Pierce got up in Oba's face he tried to stop him,

<v Speaker 1>the general manager, he got shoved aside into the barricade.

<v Speaker 1>See that's going to cost him some money right there.

<v Speaker 1>So the fans were just fully behind Oba here chanting

<v Speaker 1>his name. He slowly circled the entirety of the ring

<v Speaker 1>like a shark in the water. Something we've seen Brock

<v Speaker 1>Lesner do before. So he circled the entire ring. Once

<v Speaker 1>Oba got up on the apron, fans started chanting, holy shit.

<v Speaker 1>He gets into the ring and it looked like the

<v Speaker 1>two of them might actually throw down here. But then

<v Speaker 1>Paul Levek slides into the ring. I don't even know

<v Speaker 1>where he came from. He slides into the ring and

<v Speaker 1>he gets in between the two of them. He did

<v Speaker 1>what twenty four security people could not do, and he

<v Speaker 1>got these two men to stand down. He got in

<v Speaker 1>between them and he told Brock. He got up in

<v Speaker 1>Brock's face and said, not here. Not now. He's pointing

<v Speaker 1>up with the WrestleMania signed WrestleMania. That's the time for it.

<v Speaker 1>He's telling Paul Hayman, get him out of here, get

<v Speaker 1>him out of here. And so Lesnar left the ring,

<v Speaker 1>but not before as he was leaving, one of the

<v Speaker 1>security guys was still laid out on the floor. I

<v Speaker 1>mean he was dressed for combat. I mean, Brock is

<v Speaker 1>out there and he's in his he's in his shorts,

<v Speaker 1>he's got the gloves on and the boots. He was

<v Speaker 1>ready to have a match. So I guess just to

<v Speaker 1>make himself feel like he may have had a match.

<v Speaker 1>He picked up the security guy, put him on his

<v Speaker 1>shoulders and gave him an F five on the floor,

<v Speaker 1>and I guess that made him feel good. And at

<v Speaker 1>that point Brock left. I can't be I can't be

<v Speaker 1>the only one who was hoping that, you know, when

<v Speaker 1>Paul Levex slid into the ring, that he would eat

<v Speaker 1>in F five or he would get pounced halfway across

<v Speaker 1>the ring. But that did not happen. This right here

<v Speaker 1>feels like the main event of WrestleMania, Like it's you

<v Speaker 1>hear these crowds and you see the way they're teasing it,

<v Speaker 1>but they're not giving too much away. Tonight. They didn't

<v Speaker 1>touch at all. Right, they came close, they were kind

<v Speaker 1>of to eye, they didn't touch at all. I thought

<v Speaker 1>Brock was going to get his revenge this week. He's

<v Speaker 1>been laid out twice. Didn't happen. Oba was standing tall

<v Speaker 1>when this segment was over and Brock walked to the back.

<v Speaker 1>So it's three weeks in a row that they have

<v Speaker 1>kept Oba Femi looking strong. Here again, no physicality here.

<v Speaker 1>I mean we had physicality, just not between the two

<v Speaker 1>of them. And I'll tell you what. When this was

<v Speaker 1>over and the fact that Brock did not get his

<v Speaker 1>revenge on this men. All I can think is Brock's

<v Speaker 1>winning at WrestleMania. I mean, it definitely feels like a

<v Speaker 1>Brock Lesnar win at WrestleMania. And there are people who

<v Speaker 1>there was who was it earlier who mentioned the same thing.

<v Speaker 1>I've heard from people who think Brock wins at WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>Brock loses at Summerslambity loses to Gunther, which I think

<v Speaker 1>would be I mean, so much worse if Oba never

<v Speaker 1>even gets that win. Like I can understand him, I'm

<v Speaker 1>losing at WrestleMania if it means coming back and beating

<v Speaker 1>Brock at the next big show. I wouldn't do it

<v Speaker 1>that way, but I can at least understand it. But

<v Speaker 1>the idea of him him being Brock winning at WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>and then moving on to somebody completely different is unacceptable

<v Speaker 1>to me. Unacceptable at the end of all of this,

<v Speaker 1>whether it's WrestleMania or whether it's SummerSlam, Opa Femi should

<v Speaker 1>have his hand raised full stop because he's in a

<v Speaker 1>position right now where he needs that a hell of

<v Speaker 1>a lot more than someone like Gunther does, and that

<v Speaker 1>doesn't even make any sense to me. You've got to

<v Speaker 1>wrap this up and end it the right way before

<v Speaker 1>you move on to something else. But I guess the

<v Speaker 1>idea is that, you know, if Brock is not going

<v Speaker 1>to lose until his final match, if he was to

<v Speaker 1>have his final match at SummerSlam, then you do Brock

<v Speaker 1>and Gunther. No, you do Brock a Oba if Oba

<v Speaker 1>fails to beat him a WrestleMania, which as of this

<v Speaker 1>moment is exactly what it feels like they're gonna do,

<v Speaker 1>is have him lose to Brockleisner. But what we have

<v Speaker 1>gotten so far between these two fantastic fantastic, they've made

<v Speaker 1>a new and span of a few weeks, they've made

<v Speaker 1>a new star on this show. Now. I don't put

<v Speaker 1>it past them to completely fuck it up coming out

<v Speaker 1>of WrestleMania, but for the time being, they've made a

<v Speaker 1>new star, a new top guy on Monday Night Raw.

<v Speaker 1>Keep it going is exactly what we need, is exactly

<v Speaker 1>what they need on this show. They need more people

<v Speaker 1>like him. Not everybody can look like Obafemi and strut

<v Speaker 1>like Obafemi, but they need more people like him, new

<v Speaker 1>faces that are protected in ways that so many guys

<v Speaker 1>are not. They protect the top talents. Okay, you could

<v Speaker 1>under why that's why they're top talents, but because other

<v Speaker 1>people aren't extended you know that same protection, and there

<v Speaker 1>are people who you know, you can point to who

<v Speaker 1>should have been and weren't. He's somebody who should be protected.

<v Speaker 1>He's somebody that you can build this brand around going forward.

<v Speaker 1>That win is going to mean a lot more to

<v Speaker 1>him than it would to someone like Gunther. So that's

<v Speaker 1>my answer to that. For the people who think that

<v Speaker 1>either that's what they're going to do or that's what

<v Speaker 1>they should do, I disagree. I disagree on Now we

<v Speaker 1>got to pretaate promo from Finn Balor saying the Judgment

<v Speaker 1>Day was a family and they ran raw for four years.

<v Speaker 1>He did some things that he wasn't proud of. The

<v Speaker 1>worst decision he ever made was thinking he can make

<v Speaker 1>a man out of Dominicque mysterio. So Finn was the

<v Speaker 1>one that Dom turned to. Finn is the one who

<v Speaker 1>stepped up to him or for him. Dom lost the

<v Speaker 1>inter Continental Championship not because of him, He lost it

<v Speaker 1>because he's a self in time jackass, and Finn said

<v Speaker 1>he's guilty of being the one to help create Dominic Mysterio.

<v Speaker 1>Now he'll be responsible for destroying him at WrestleMania. So

<v Speaker 1>there's your match. I think we all knew this was coming,

<v Speaker 1>although a few months ago it looked like it was

<v Speaker 1>going to be for the Intercontinental title. But it doesn't

<v Speaker 1>need the title. This is not about the title. This

<v Speaker 1>is not about the title. The Intercontinental Championship was one

<v Speaker 1>prop in the overall story of the Judgment Day, in

<v Speaker 1>the overall story of Finn Balor and Dominic Mysterio. It

<v Speaker 1>doesn't need the title. Here's a match with actual story

<v Speaker 1>and history behind it, even though it's cooled off quite

<v Speaker 1>a bit. I mean, you have to admit this has

<v Speaker 1>cooled off a lot because they've dragged it out for

<v Speaker 1>so long. They have dragged it out for so long

<v Speaker 1>that it's hard now to get excited for something that

<v Speaker 1>just doesn't have the juice that it would I had.

<v Speaker 1>Let's say they did it a year ago, because I mean,

<v Speaker 1>how Dom's been in the Judgment Day for at least

<v Speaker 1>two years. I mean, I know, he said the Judgment

<v Speaker 1>Day was a four year thing, but Dom's been in

<v Speaker 1>there for at least half that, and it's kind of

<v Speaker 1>surprising It took this long to get to this point,

<v Speaker 1>but at least we're finally getting the match. Penta defended

<v Speaker 1>his Intercontinental championship on this show. He extended an open

<v Speaker 1>challenge over the weekend. Who wants to accept it? It

<v Speaker 1>was accepted by KOFE Kingston, So we got a title

<v Speaker 1>match here. You know, I was there in Madison Square

<v Speaker 1>Garden when KOFE did the big boom drop spot to

<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton. I was there that night. People are going

<v Speaker 1>nuts for KOFE. And to think that was seventeen years ago,

<v Speaker 1>and to think that there are people now who are clamoring.

<v Speaker 1>We hear this every week. Two thousand and nine, Randy Orton,

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nine, Randy Orton, that was two thousand nine,

<v Speaker 1>was seventeen years ago. People like oh Man, two thousand

<v Speaker 1>and nine, Randy Orton is coming back. KOFE Kingston's like,

<v Speaker 1>how come I can't get two thousand and nine Kofee Kingston?

<v Speaker 1>How come I can't get two thousand and nineteen Kofee Kingston?

<v Speaker 1>That KOFE Kingston doesn't exist anymore. Grayson Waller was in

<v Speaker 1>Kofee's corner and he tried to interfere on his behalf Kofee,

<v Speaker 1>they'll called him off and he was admonishing him for

<v Speaker 1>doing so, I gotta do this on my own, and

<v Speaker 1>Waller's like, okay, so he backed off. Penta caught Kofe

<v Speaker 1>on a trust dive outside the ring and then backsuplexed

<v Speaker 1>him onto the basically bounced him off of the announced desk.

<v Speaker 1>Waller bent down over Kofe for a little a little conversation.

<v Speaker 1>When Penta came flying in for the Mexican Destroyer on

<v Speaker 1>the floor, Waller, he was like, you ain't getting my

<v Speaker 1>neck on the floor. Not the best looking Mexican destroyer. Look.

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want somebody spiking me on my head on

<v Speaker 1>the floor either. I don't blame him. Kofe is a

<v Speaker 1>different story though, talk about it as we go along here. Penta,

<v Speaker 1>back in the ring, came off the top Kofe caught

<v Speaker 1>him with a trouble in Paradise out of mid air

<v Speaker 1>only for a two count. So Kofee tried for a superplex.

<v Speaker 1>He got dropped though, and that led to a Mexican

<v Speaker 1>Destroyer for the wind and as terrible as that destroyer

<v Speaker 1>looked on Waller outside on the floor, the way that

<v Speaker 1>KOFE sold this brilliant. It looked fucking great. This was

<v Speaker 1>one of the best sells I've seen yet, honestly since

<v Speaker 1>Penta came to WWE for the Destroyer. So solid stuff

<v Speaker 1>here in this match. When it was over, Jackie Redman

<v Speaker 1>got in the ring and Penta had some promo time.

<v Speaker 1>She congratulated him on his win. She asked him what's

<v Speaker 1>potentially in store for you and the championship at WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>and Penta promised payne for anyone in his way and

<v Speaker 1>said that he will defend the championship at WrestleMania. But

<v Speaker 1>he motioned up to the heavens, You're gonna have to

<v Speaker 1>climb for it. Because of WrestleMania. It is going to

<v Speaker 1>be a ladder match, And of course everyone cheered because

<v Speaker 1>they love the idea of a multi man ladder match

<v Speaker 1>at WrestleMania gets people excited. So now we know that

<v Speaker 1>the IC title will be defended, and we know that

<v Speaker 1>there are going to be several different challengers. Who are

<v Speaker 1>these challengers going to be? You ask, well, I'm glad

<v Speaker 1>you asked the question. I'm gonna tell you. Here are

<v Speaker 1>the participants in the ladder match at WrestleMania. Penta obviously

<v Speaker 1>the Dragonly, which makes sense because Penta had just told

<v Speaker 1>him a few weeks ago, you want to rematch, you

<v Speaker 1>got and they had a great match a few weeks ago.

<v Speaker 1>You want to rematch, you got one. So Dragonly is

<v Speaker 1>in there. Javon Evans, Russev and JD McDonough. Now, they

<v Speaker 1>actually had Michael Cole on commentary as they were introducing

<v Speaker 1>all of the names that were in the graphic, all

<v Speaker 1>the faces in the graphic. They had Michael Cole on

<v Speaker 1>commentary claim these men qualified to be in this match

<v Speaker 1>on main event. This is what they said, blatantly lying

<v Speaker 1>to us. There were no qualifiers on main event, but

<v Speaker 1>they want you to believe that there were. That's about

<v Speaker 1>as real as Pat Patterson winning the Intercontinental title in

<v Speaker 1>a tournament in Rio de Janeiro. Maybe these men wrestled

<v Speaker 1>in Rio to qualify for this, but they didn't get

<v Speaker 1>any footage of it, and you never will see it

<v Speaker 1>because it did didn't exist. I had to go look

<v Speaker 1>up when the last time Russev even wrestled was. I

<v Speaker 1>remember the match he had with Obafemi a few weeks ago.

<v Speaker 1>You know, they had that quick little three minute match,

<v Speaker 1>you know, on Raw. Before that, his last win came

<v Speaker 1>on Main Event. That is true. It was against Joaquin

<v Speaker 1>Wilde on Groundhog Day, So I guess maybe at that

<v Speaker 1>time we're supposed to believe that that was a qualifying

<v Speaker 1>match for a match they would have had no idea

<v Speaker 1>was even happening. But that's the last you'd have to

<v Speaker 1>go back to that to find the last time. JD McDonough.

<v Speaker 1>JD McDonough, I can't find a record of him even

<v Speaker 1>wrestling this year. I don't think he's had a single

<v Speaker 1>match this year. Where are these qualifying matches that they

<v Speaker 1>are talking about? I would love to know. I'm not

<v Speaker 1>gonna start watching Main Event to find out. But I

<v Speaker 1>was just like, how stupid do they think we are?

<v Speaker 1>You didn't even have to say it. That's the thing

<v Speaker 1>I don't understand. You didn't even have to say it,

<v Speaker 1>just put the graphic on screen and don't say anything.

<v Speaker 1>It's just so ridiculous. But I will also say Corey Graves,

<v Speaker 1>he mentioned after Cole you know, rattled off all of

<v Speaker 1>the participants. Corey said, thus far, these are the participants

<v Speaker 1>thus far, so it is entirely possible that they will

<v Speaker 1>add more names to this, and there aren't a whole

<v Speaker 1>lot of other names in the mid card floating around

<v Speaker 1>right now on Monday Night Raw. The Americanos aren't doing

<v Speaker 1>anything as of right now. As of this moment, the

<v Speaker 1>Americanos are still unaccounted for at WrestleMania, not to guarantee

<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna be wrestling each other. If they don't,

<v Speaker 1>I could see them being shoehorned into this and it

<v Speaker 1>goes from being was it a five way? I think

<v Speaker 1>it's a five way now and turning it into a

<v Speaker 1>seven way. But look, pent is going to be defending

<v Speaker 1>his title on the WrestleMania card. I'm glad they found

<v Speaker 1>something for him to do. You know, you look at

<v Speaker 1>some of the names in that field, Penta, Dragon, Lee,

<v Speaker 1>JD McDonough, like this has the potential to be the

<v Speaker 1>show stealing type of match on that WrestleMania card. I

<v Speaker 1>don't hate the match. I just hate this bullshit explanation

<v Speaker 1>they came up with for how they decided on who

<v Speaker 1>was going to be participating in it. The Kingo is

<v Speaker 1>one of those names. Well, VI Kingo is getting a

<v Speaker 1>title match? Is it the weekend before WrestleMania. I believe

<v Speaker 1>it might be. I guess depending on what happens in

<v Speaker 1>that Depending on what happens in that match, he could

<v Speaker 1>be added, I could see that, sure, I could see

<v Speaker 1>the Matti VI kingo make it a six way. So

<v Speaker 1>Paul Hayman, he ended up back in the ring and

<v Speaker 1>he is name dropping Howard Finkel as he does his

<v Speaker 1>best Howard Finkel impersonation and knew World Tag Team Champions.

<v Speaker 1>He says logan Paul and Austin theory. He said he

<v Speaker 1>tried to give back to the community tonight by presenting

<v Speaker 1>Brock against Oba, but then that tyrant Adam Pierson. Before

<v Speaker 1>he could even finish saying what he was going to say,

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce walks out to interrupt and he asks him

<v Speaker 1>one more time, mister Hayman, have you checked your email?

<v Speaker 1>Hayman said that there isn't anything that Pierce can tell

<v Speaker 1>him that he doesn't already know. And Pierce told him

<v Speaker 1>the Boston Police Department has dropped all charges against Seth Rollins,

<v Speaker 1>because if you remember last week, they arrested him, so

<v Speaker 1>all charges have been dropped. So you already knew that,

<v Speaker 1>and Hayman played it off like he knew even though

<v Speaker 1>he clearly did not. This was the first time that

<v Speaker 1>he was hearing this news, but he said he wasn't worried.

<v Speaker 1>He says he's a native New Yorker, fears no man,

<v Speaker 1>he's the last manager standing from the nineteen eighties, but

<v Speaker 1>he's also the last promoter standing from the nineteen nineties.

<v Speaker 1>Well then, mister last promoters standing, then you also know

<v Speaker 1>that Seth Rollins has been medically cleared to compete. And

<v Speaker 1>Hayman was stunned. He didn't get this email. That email

<v Speaker 1>went to spam. He was not aware of this, and

<v Speaker 1>they played Set's music. He did not come down the aisle,

<v Speaker 1>though he came in from behind. He had a chair.

<v Speaker 1>He did the shield chair shot again to Hayman's back.

<v Speaker 1>Then he said, hey, up for a curb stomp, And

<v Speaker 1>the camera is focused in tightly on Seth in the

<v Speaker 1>corner as he's getting ready to do the stomp, But

<v Speaker 1>then he gets pulled outside by somebody and we can't

<v Speaker 1>see who it is. I'm like, is it bron Breaker?

<v Speaker 1>Is that bron bron was spotted entering the arena earlier today?

<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't bron Breaker. It wasn't any of the

<v Speaker 1>mass Ninjas. It was Gunther. He lives. Oh my god,

<v Speaker 1>Gunther is still employed. He is living and breathing. He

<v Speaker 1>is back. But why we don't know. But he drags

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins out of the ring and he puts him

<v Speaker 1>in a sleeper hold, and so he's got him up

<v Speaker 1>against the announced desk and he's just putting all of

<v Speaker 1>his he's leaning all of his weight on him, and

<v Speaker 1>he's saying, go to sleep, go to sleep. So Seth

<v Speaker 1>goes out, and then he lifts Seth's head up and

<v Speaker 1>Gunther is pointing up at the WrestleMania sign. He tells Seth,

<v Speaker 1>that's what's waiting for you. And I don't know how

<v Speaker 1>this even happened, but Gunther had blood like around his eye.

<v Speaker 1>I didn't see how it happened. Maybe when he was

<v Speaker 1>like applying all the pressure in the sleeper hole to him,

<v Speaker 1>and maybe he bounced his head off the announced desk,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Maybe he cut his eye on one

<v Speaker 1>of the iPads or something. I don't know. But he

<v Speaker 1>had blood, not a lot. It looked kind of cool,

<v Speaker 1>but just a little bit like around the eye the eyebrow.

<v Speaker 1>And Gunh at that point left we didn't get any

<v Speaker 1>sort of explanation. They're going to leave that for another week.

<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot to unpack here in terms of

<v Speaker 1>what happened here in this segment. The main thing is

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins has been medically cleared, and I know that

<v Speaker 1>that was something they were optimistic about. They were expecting it,

<v Speaker 1>they were hoping for it. Nothing is ever a guarantee,

<v Speaker 1>so not a huge surprise, but good to know that

<v Speaker 1>he is cleared. But this means that bron Breaker is

<v Speaker 1>not because if bron Breaker was medically clear, the match

<v Speaker 1>at WrestleMania would be Seth Rollins against bron Breaker. That's

<v Speaker 1>the story. That's the story. That's the reason why Seth

<v Speaker 1>Rollins is not walking into WrestleMania as the World Heavyweight

<v Speaker 1>Champion right because bron Breaker is the one who attacked

<v Speaker 1>him and even though he had already had the injury

<v Speaker 1>from the match with Cody, you know, Crown Jewel and

<v Speaker 1>all that. Storyline wise, they were attributing it to the vision.

<v Speaker 1>They were attributing it to to bron Breaker. So bron

<v Speaker 1>Breaker is not medically cleared. It's for the better. Let

<v Speaker 1>the men heal up again. That's a that's a rough

<v Speaker 1>injury and you don't want to be playing around with

<v Speaker 1>somebody like that. So there's no there's no great rush.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, it sucks, it's screwed up their plans. But

<v Speaker 1>if he's not healed, let him heal and when the

<v Speaker 1>time is right, he'll come back and they can pick

<v Speaker 1>up with him and seth. You know, maybe in the

<v Speaker 1>weeks coming out of rest, maybe he only needs a

<v Speaker 1>few more weeks, but you know, WRESTLEMANI is going to

<v Speaker 1>be a little touch and go, so they wait until,

<v Speaker 1>you know, the week after. You know, I'm not saying

<v Speaker 1>he's going to be out for months and months, but

<v Speaker 1>if he's not where he needs to be, then he's

<v Speaker 1>not where he needs to be. You don't put him

<v Speaker 1>back in the ring. I don't give a shit what

<v Speaker 1>show it is. I don't care. If it's WrestleMania, I

<v Speaker 1>don't care. If it's wrestle Fest, I don't care. I

<v Speaker 1>don't care what it is. So brown Breaker is going

<v Speaker 1>to be out for a little while longer, but Gunther

<v Speaker 1>is back after nearly a month back on TV, WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>Match Now confirmed. They made it official later on in

<v Speaker 1>the show. Adam Pierce did it will be Seth Rollins

<v Speaker 1>one on one with Gunther. The explanation for it. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think that there are, you know, a lot of

<v Speaker 1>options here. There's a few basic explanations. The most basic

<v Speaker 1>one and I don't think this is what this is

<v Speaker 1>is that Gunther has joined the Vision. Dunter has not

<v Speaker 1>joined the Vision. Guntherer does not need the Vision. But

<v Speaker 1>they could say that he was recruited by Paul Hayman

<v Speaker 1>and he's the newest member of the Vision. Let's throw

<v Speaker 1>that out the window. I don't think that's what that's

<v Speaker 1>gonna be. I honestly don't think that this has anything

<v Speaker 1>to do with the Vision. I really don't. There was

<v Speaker 1>no interaction at all between Gunther and Paul Hayman. You know,

<v Speaker 1>he didn't go to check on Paul. He didn't take

<v Speaker 1>Paul with him and drape his arm over his neck

<v Speaker 1>and you know, walk him to the back. He didn't

<v Speaker 1>come out before Seth had the chance to put that

<v Speaker 1>chair in Hayman's back. I mean, he did save him

<v Speaker 1>from the stomp. I'm not convinced this has anything to

<v Speaker 1>do with any sort of relationship or partnership or friendship

<v Speaker 1>or anything with Gunther and Paul Hayman or any member

<v Speaker 1>of the Vision. This feels to me like something Gunther

<v Speaker 1>may have did or done may have done on his own.

<v Speaker 1>And it could be as simple as he had no

<v Speaker 1>opponent for WrestleMania and was appalled that the man who

<v Speaker 1>ended Goldberg's career and John seen his career and retired

<v Speaker 1>AJ Stiles is going into the biggest show of the

<v Speaker 1>year and he has no obvious challenger who is man

<v Speaker 1>enough and courageous enough to step up to him, because

<v Speaker 1>they're afraid because they saw what he did to those men,

<v Speaker 1>and if he could do it to them, he could

<v Speaker 1>do it to them as well. And Seth Rollins was

<v Speaker 1>just the wrong guy in the wrong place at the

<v Speaker 1>wrong time, running around like some schmuck every single week

<v Speaker 1>and dressed up as you know, a fucking ninja and

<v Speaker 1>all the stuff that we've been seeing. It could just

<v Speaker 1>be as simple as that Gunther called his shot. If

<v Speaker 1>you're not going to bring the competition to me, then

<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go out and I'm going to find competition.

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins, You're my target. I'm going to make an

<v Speaker 1>example out of you a WrestleMania. It could just be

<v Speaker 1>that simple. Now, Gunther is the career killer. So do

<v Speaker 1>we have a match at WrestleMania where he makes Rollins

<v Speaker 1>put his career on the line. I certainly hope not.

<v Speaker 1>I think that would be very, very dumb, because there

<v Speaker 1>is in anybody in the world, there's in anybody on

<v Speaker 1>planet Earth who's going to be watching this show who

<v Speaker 1>is going to buy into the idea that seth Rollins

<v Speaker 1>is going to lose a career ending match to Gunther. Right,

<v Speaker 1>this is the whole problem with the career killer gimmick.

<v Speaker 1>It's something you could dust off every now and then,

<v Speaker 1>but you can't do it all that Like every big

<v Speaker 1>match he has can't be a career match. Even if

<v Speaker 1>you would have wrestled Ramus Stereo like raymis Stereo is

<v Speaker 1>not retiring against Gunther. He's retiring against his son, So

<v Speaker 1>it would have just been a match, which is what

<v Speaker 1>this is going to be. I don't think there's going

<v Speaker 1>to be any real stakes on the line here, But

<v Speaker 1>if they're imagine if there were talk about giving away

<v Speaker 1>the finish, you know, like I don't that This isn't

<v Speaker 1>an MJF. Hangman page situation from Revolution where Hangman says

<v Speaker 1>if I if I don't win, I'm never gonna be

<v Speaker 1>able to challenge for the aw World title ever again,

<v Speaker 1>which is what they've done. But this is a little

<v Speaker 1>bit different here. You're talking about somebody who's beating people

<v Speaker 1>and ending their careers. That doesn't really apply here. So

<v Speaker 1>I don't see any real stipulation to this. We just

<v Speaker 1>need to find out what the explanation is and then

<v Speaker 1>it's just gonna be a simple one on one match,

<v Speaker 1>and then the question becomes who wins. This is Seth's

<v Speaker 1>first match back since injury. When he left, he never

<v Speaker 1>was beaten for the World Heavyweight Championship. That story is

<v Speaker 1>still there where you know he can say I was

<v Speaker 1>never beaten. Now I want to rematch for my championship.

<v Speaker 1>It's a little bit harder to do if he goes

<v Speaker 1>in there in his first match back of WrestleMania and loses.

<v Speaker 1>So I don't really see this as being a situation

<v Speaker 1>where you know, Seth Rollins can afford a loss. Look,

<v Speaker 1>we're talking about Seth Rollins and Gunther. Either man can lose.

<v Speaker 1>It's not like they're dead in the water. But I

<v Speaker 1>don't see any situation here where Gunther should be losing

<v Speaker 1>this match. You're putting Seth in a situation here where

<v Speaker 1>he should lose. How are you going to beat Gunther

<v Speaker 1>coming off of these big wins that he's had. First

<v Speaker 1>loss he suffers is against Seth rollins. Why why waste that?

<v Speaker 1>So that's the only thing that kind of worries me

<v Speaker 1>about putting these two in the ring together is that

<v Speaker 1>Seth really shouldn't be losing, but Gunther shouldn't be losing more.

<v Speaker 1>You know, it's more important, I think for him to

<v Speaker 1>continue to maintain this wind streak that he's on and

<v Speaker 1>the momentum that he's built up, which I say momentum,

<v Speaker 1>but guy has been on television for almost a month,

<v Speaker 1>But I think you know what I mean. So that's

<v Speaker 1>the only thing. I just still feel like Gunther should

<v Speaker 1>not be losing this match, and it doesn't need any

<v Speaker 1>sort of dumb stipulation. You don't need to overcomplicate this,

<v Speaker 1>you know whatever the ultimate explanation ends up being. It's

<v Speaker 1>just two guys that have never worked together before, so

<v Speaker 1>first time ever fresh wrestling match. They're going to go

<v Speaker 1>in there and they're going to find out who the

<v Speaker 1>better man is. There's no need to overcomplicate this and

<v Speaker 1>for the people who are disappointed or underwhelmed by the match. Look,

<v Speaker 1>I'm with you again. There's no real story here, but

<v Speaker 1>I understand the situation that they were in. This was

<v Speaker 1>not their first choice or their second choice. This is

<v Speaker 1>at best their third or fourth choice. But if not this,

<v Speaker 1>what else do these men do on that show? You know?

<v Speaker 1>I have floated my own idea with gun Through about

<v Speaker 1>what I'd like to see. I knew it wasn't going

<v Speaker 1>to be realistic, it was doable, But did I honestly

<v Speaker 1>expect them to go through with it? No? I didn't.

<v Speaker 1>For Seth Rollins, I don't even know who else you

<v Speaker 1>would put him in the ring with. You just put

<v Speaker 1>the tag team titles on Logan Paul and Austin, Theory

<v Speaker 1>rets gone, breaker is gone. Who else would even make sense?

<v Speaker 1>It's better than nothing. I'm just happy the man is back.

<v Speaker 1>It took long enough. Wait Eo Sky against Raquel Rodriguez. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I mean the alternative was to leave them off the show,

<v Speaker 1>and that's not much of an alternative. You cannot leave

<v Speaker 1>them off the show. Can't do that. Neither woman here

<v Speaker 1>got an entrance. They came back from break went right

<v Speaker 1>into the match Osca and Kyrie. They ran out. In

<v Speaker 1>the middle of the match, Osca is yelling at Kyrie

<v Speaker 1>and she wants her to get involved, so Kyrie ends

<v Speaker 1>up getting up on the apron. EO goes over to

<v Speaker 1>confront her. Raquel sees all of this and she comes

<v Speaker 1>in with a big boot. EO moves out of the

<v Speaker 1>way and Raquel of booting Kyrie off the apron to

<v Speaker 1>the floor. So EO took out Raquel, and then she

<v Speaker 1>sees the situation outside and Osca's yelling at Kyrie, and

<v Speaker 1>so she decides to take Osca out with her crazy

<v Speaker 1>suicide dive. As EO was diving out of the ring,

<v Speaker 1>her feet hit the top rope. And this is always

<v Speaker 1>something I just sort of I kind of look away

<v Speaker 1>sometimes because there have been dives where people just won't

<v Speaker 1>exit the ring either fast enough or again their feet

<v Speaker 1>touched the top rope, and so the momentum they've built

<v Speaker 1>up as they go flying out of the ring stalls

<v Speaker 1>and they go straight down. And that's what happened here

<v Speaker 1>with EO. She took aheader and brained herself on the

<v Speaker 1>floor outside barely even touched Osca. I want to say.

<v Speaker 1>She got her hands kind kind of underneath her head

<v Speaker 1>to cushion the fall a little bit, but not much.

<v Speaker 1>It was like, holy shit, but she popped right back up.

<v Speaker 1>She tried to no sell it. She seemed to be okay,

<v Speaker 1>thank god. So she gets back in the ring. Raquel, though,

<v Speaker 1>immediately grabbed her and dropped her with the Tehanabaum. So

<v Speaker 1>it appears that EO Sky is going to have a

<v Speaker 1>match of WrestleMania and Raquel won't. But Raquel got the

<v Speaker 1>win over EO. So that was a little weird, but

<v Speaker 1>again it was done for storyline purposes. You know. EO

<v Speaker 1>losing this match was based off the distraction of what

<v Speaker 1>had just happened outside, so it plays into her story.

<v Speaker 1>Riquel has no story. Raquel has nothing going into WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>at best. At best, it looks like she'll be maybe

<v Speaker 1>in Live Morgan's corner. That's about it. EO, though, is

<v Speaker 1>going to have a match of WrestleMania, and it should

<v Speaker 1>be Osca and EO one on one. Kyrie will be

<v Speaker 1>out there. I could see them wanting Kyrie involved. I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure Kyrie herself would love to have a match on

<v Speaker 1>the card. Maybe they turn it into a triple threat.

<v Speaker 1>I still feel like EO and Oscar one on one.

<v Speaker 1>Kyrie is sort of the lynch pin of the story.

<v Speaker 1>She's the most important part of the match. She doesn't

<v Speaker 1>have to be in the match, but she would still

<v Speaker 1>be the most important part of the match. And all

<v Speaker 1>of this should be building to her finally standing up

<v Speaker 1>to Osca, you know, and breaking free of her grip.

<v Speaker 1>That should be the conclusion of that match. Whoever wins

<v Speaker 1>does it. He almost doesn't even matter who wins. Uh,

<v Speaker 1>probably EO, But the story really is centered around Kyrie saying,

<v Speaker 1>you know, whether she wrestles or not. Now, this match

<v Speaker 1>is not official yet, but it seems pretty clear this

<v Speaker 1>is the direction that we're going to be heading in here.

<v Speaker 1>So Jackie Redman was trying to get an update on

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins. This is where Adam Pierce came out of

<v Speaker 1>the trainer's room made the announcement that Seth willissel gun

<v Speaker 1>there it is official for a wrestle medium and then

<v Speaker 1>it led to the closing segment of the show for

<v Speaker 1>what is this the third week in a row? I

<v Speaker 1>believe Roman reins and see I'm punk. Roman Rerains was

<v Speaker 1>out first He made his entrance, and he took forever

<v Speaker 1>to Aura Farm, even before he got into the ring.

<v Speaker 1>And then when he got into the ring, he took

<v Speaker 1>his time. He's looking around. I'm Roman Reins. So this

<v Speaker 1>took a while. Finally he spoke. He told New York

<v Speaker 1>City to acknowledge him. See I'm Punk. His music played,

<v Speaker 1>He walked out to the ring. He was in jeans,

<v Speaker 1>he had his fists all taped up. They immediately started

<v Speaker 1>to brawl. No bullshit, We're getting right down to brass

<v Speaker 1>tacks here. Roman caught Punk with a superman punch, tried

<v Speaker 1>to throw him out over the top rope. Punk, though

<v Speaker 1>reversed it followed Reins out to the floor. Punk slam

<v Speaker 1>Roman's head on the desk. Then he slammed it into

<v Speaker 1>the ring post. Adam Pearson, a group of producers. They

<v Speaker 1>run out and they're yelling at Punk and they're trying to,

<v Speaker 1>you know, calm him down. And Rains comes back and

<v Speaker 1>he sets up for a power bomb on Punk. This

<v Speaker 1>is exactly what he did the week before. He power

<v Speaker 1>bombed him through the announced dests. He's gonna do it again.

<v Speaker 1>He gets Punk up at a power bomb position. This time,

<v Speaker 1>Punk punches his way out, so he escapes doom. This

<v Speaker 1>time hoists Roman up for a GTS and the producers

<v Speaker 1>pull Roman down, and then they pull each man away

<v Speaker 1>from each other, so we have another pull aparts, another

<v Speaker 1>pull apart brawl. Rains breaks free and he spears poor

<v Speaker 1>p D. Williams. What did p D do? What did

<v Speaker 1>p D do to deserve this? He didn't do anything.

<v Speaker 1>He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

<v Speaker 1>Tell him Hole, he was just the wrong gay guy,

<v Speaker 1>the wrong I'm just the rough what of my all

<v Speaker 1>time favorite just butchered segments from SmackDown back in the day.

<v Speaker 1>How many times did he try to fix it before

<v Speaker 1>he finally got it right? Three times? I was just

<v Speaker 1>the wrong gay guy in the wrong place to the

<v Speaker 1>Let me start over again, dude, Vince is standing there.

<v Speaker 1>God knows what's going through his brain as he's watching this. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>I missed those satellite feeds for SmackDown. There was such

<v Speaker 1>gold on there. There's gold up in Demdare Hills. Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>Rains broke free, speared poor Pedie Punk, then scooped up

<v Speaker 1>Roman and he dropped him with a GTS. Punk looked

<v Speaker 1>like he was backing off he had his hands up

<v Speaker 1>in the air. He's like, okay, all right, I'm cool.

<v Speaker 1>I'm cool. But then he went back over and he

<v Speaker 1>grabbed Roman and he started more punches, punches and bunches,

<v Speaker 1>and then Punk power bomb rains through the announced desk,

<v Speaker 1>just like Roman did to him the week before. Punk

<v Speaker 1>gets up and he starts screaming, who's fucking old now?

<v Speaker 1>So Punk sits down next to Roman, and this is

<v Speaker 1>the best part of the entire thing. He sits down

<v Speaker 1>next to Roman and he starts singing.

<v Speaker 2>Realmen Almen Rains Roman, Roman Rains Roman, Roalmen rains, just

<v Speaker 2>mocking him and laughing too.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's just he looks like a maniac out there.

<v Speaker 1>And Pierce pulls him away and again Punk came off

<v Speaker 1>like he had just gone off the deep end, just

<v Speaker 1>the way he was talking, kind of like me. After

<v Speaker 1>I watch SmackDown each week, Michael Cole talked about the

<v Speaker 1>crazed look in Punk's eyes. Corey Graves said it had

<v Speaker 1>been a long time since he had seen that look,

<v Speaker 1>and that is how they went off the air. But

<v Speaker 1>cee im Punk posing in front of all the fans

<v Speaker 1>in New York City and Roman reigns, all laid out,

<v Speaker 1>no ussos, no family members. This was just Punk and Roman.

<v Speaker 1>Mono imano. That's all you needed here. They repeated the

<v Speaker 1>same angle from last week, this time with Punk power

<v Speaker 1>bombing Roman the way Roman did to him the week before.

<v Speaker 1>I did like how unhinged Punk came off here towards

<v Speaker 1>the end, you know, laughing maniacally and all that sort

<v Speaker 1>of thing. And I will say it was a hell

<v Speaker 1>of a lot better than what we got with Cody

<v Speaker 1>and Randy at the end of SmackDown on Friday. That

<v Speaker 1>pull apart brawl was extremely lame. Fans were fairly quiet

<v Speaker 1>for it. I felt to me like they were just

<v Speaker 1>going through the motions. There was no real intensity or

<v Speaker 1>fire behind it. And it went on forever. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it dragged on for just felt like minutes on end.

<v Speaker 1>This one was the opposite, especially with Punk, in that

<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of fire there and the fans

<v Speaker 1>were into it, and they didn't overstay their welcome. You know,

<v Speaker 1>it went a few minutes. It didn't feel like it

<v Speaker 1>was overly long. Punk did not waste any time, you

<v Speaker 1>know talk I mean neither to Cody when he came

<v Speaker 1>out on Friday, he just came right down to the ring.

<v Speaker 1>They immediately went into brawling, but it didn't feel like

<v Speaker 1>they were stretching for time. It didn't feel like, man,

<v Speaker 1>they're really dragging this out, and you know, we got

<v Speaker 1>to drag it out and wait for Jelly Roll. It

<v Speaker 1>wasn't like they were dragging this out waiting for ihow Speed,

<v Speaker 1>you know, to come out and get in between the

<v Speaker 1>two of them. So, you know, it was I think

<v Speaker 1>exactly what it needed to be. Could they have come

<v Speaker 1>up with something a little more creative instead of running

<v Speaker 1>the same angle back two weeks in a row. Sure? Sure,

<v Speaker 1>And part of me was also kind of hoping the

<v Speaker 1>Ussos would be involved, just because it did add a

<v Speaker 1>layer of intrigue last week, especially the way was acting.

<v Speaker 1>But they did lose their titles on this show, so

<v Speaker 1>I guess they were unavailable here for this segment. But

<v Speaker 1>what it means is that we only have one more

<v Speaker 1>face to face, assuming we get one face to face

<v Speaker 1>segment or promo with punkin Roman before we get to Wrestlemani,

<v Speaker 1>which is going to be the final raw because Roman

<v Speaker 1>is not on the show next week. You look at

<v Speaker 1>some of the recent promos, maybe it's for the better,

<v Speaker 1>because it just seems like they hit a wall and

<v Speaker 1>they ran out of material. That's kind of how it felt.

<v Speaker 1>How many more weeks are they going to talk to

<v Speaker 1>each other and be able to keep things interesting. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>it's not such a bad thing that Roman disappears for

<v Speaker 1>a week and then comes back and they could do

<v Speaker 1>the hard sell again. I wouldn't be surprised if we

<v Speaker 1>get a contract signing on that raw, April thirteenth. I

<v Speaker 1>believe it is. Yeah, it has to be, because I'm

<v Speaker 1>flying out on the fifteenth to Vegas. So they did

<v Speaker 1>a contract for the other main event, why would they

<v Speaker 1>not do one for this one? Doesn't really make sense, right,

<v Speaker 1>So maybe we'll get a contract signing, which I know

<v Speaker 1>is such a very creative, creative tool to use in

<v Speaker 1>and of itself. I didn't hate this. I wish they

<v Speaker 1>would have done a little bit more, But I'm okay

<v Speaker 1>with what they did here. Like I said, especially coming

<v Speaker 1>off the garbage that we had at the end of

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown on Friday, I'm content with what we had here.

<v Speaker 1>Although kurrieus what Punk'll be doing on the show next

<v Speaker 1>week that I don't know now. He did promise jay Uso,

<v Speaker 1>you're oweda rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship. If they

<v Speaker 1>were going to do that, though, then they would have

<v Speaker 1>announced that tonight. So I don't know what he'll be

<v Speaker 1>doing next week. I didn't think it was a bad show.

<v Speaker 1>There was stuff that I just thought was boring, and

<v Speaker 1>there was stuff that I liked yet again, third week

<v Speaker 1>in a row, Oba and Brock the best part of

<v Speaker 1>the entire show. But the wrestle media card now is

<v Speaker 1>really filling in in a way that it has not been.

<v Speaker 1>We got a bunch of new matches announced tonight, La Knights,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, what else is there to say? What else

<v Speaker 1>is there to he's become He's becoming a punchline. I

<v Speaker 1>hate to say it, but he's becoming a punchline on

<v Speaker 1>these shows each week. You know, they got to get

<v Speaker 1>something going with him and get all of the attention

<v Speaker 1>away from these little slip ups that there have been.

<v Speaker 1>I can't say La Night against I show speed excites me.

<v Speaker 1>If that really is what they're planning on doing, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what else you do with La Night if

<v Speaker 1>he's not involved in that, I truly don't. But we

<v Speaker 1>got gun through back we take our wins where we can.

<v Speaker 1>We've got Gunther back on the show, so that's good.

<v Speaker 1>What does you think of Raw from Madison Square Garden

<v Speaker 1>six percent thumbs up, thirty two percent thumbs down. For

<v Speaker 1>tonight's show, Skip Bayless says La Nights is a joke. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I guess the last couple of weeks, the joke's been

<v Speaker 1>on him. We got to get away from that. Can't

<v Speaker 1>be can't be a punchline here on this show. That's

<v Speaker 1>not good for your career. You don't want to be

<v Speaker 1>a punchline on the show. Let's get to your super

<v Speaker 1>chats again. The like skull was three point fifty and

<v Speaker 1>we are currently at five thirty nine. Man, smash that shit. Uh,

<v Speaker 1>the Sheltered Kid. I wasted five hundred dollars on a

<v Speaker 1>Versace shirt today, As I told you, you should have

<v Speaker 1>wasted that five hundred on me here on the stream,

<v Speaker 1>I would have given you. I would have given you

<v Speaker 1>the crown for the night, and you know you'd be

<v Speaker 1>far more entertained around here than you would go in

<v Speaker 1>shopping for VERSACEI enjoy the shirt, though he's trying to

<v Speaker 1>be the rock with his five hundred dollars, Versace shirts,

<v Speaker 1>Big Money Jackson, Mamara versus Skeletor. Who you got? Oh,

<v Speaker 1>I got Skeletor, I got love for Mama. But I

<v Speaker 1>gotta go Skeletor and the Gremlins against the Critters. Gremlins

<v Speaker 1>for sure. Yeah, I gotta go Gremlins. USO's tag team

<v Speaker 1>theme isn't bad. I like it. It works. Yeah, I

<v Speaker 1>mean they needed to update it because it didn't make

<v Speaker 1>any sense for them to be coming out to Jay

<v Speaker 1>USO's theme. Right, It's just me Oose and he's coming

<v Speaker 1>out with his brother. I mean that doesn't make it sense.

<v Speaker 1>Robbie Triple H is definitely the other voice God, I

<v Speaker 1>hope not. Also Poor l A Knight. Yes, Big Money Jackson.

<v Speaker 1>I'm glad Roxy is back. But she is a terrible brawler, dude.

<v Speaker 1>She's like five feet tall. I mean, what do you expect.

<v Speaker 1>She's five foot nothing. She's not a convincing brawler. It's

<v Speaker 1>not her specialty. Like I say the same for Alexa

<v Speaker 1>Bliss when she ran into the ring to start brawling

<v Speaker 1>with whoever it was in the ring. She's not a brawler.

<v Speaker 1>She's not the brawling type. She's not a brawling bird

<v Speaker 1>dried chicken. Would you consider doing the Opa femi strut

<v Speaker 1>at hog No, Phil, Triple H just had to be

<v Speaker 1>out there. He never misses an opportunity to be out there,

<v Speaker 1>at least in this segment. It kind of added something

<v Speaker 1>since he is the authority. No pun intended. He is

<v Speaker 1>the authority on the show, but yes, he loves to

<v Speaker 1>be out there when he can. Dry chickens is logan

<v Speaker 1>Paul I show speed jelly roll, screw it. Wwe may

<v Speaker 1>as well invite mister Beast Jamils Benitez Smith. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know who that is, Kai sinat Ice Spice, I know

<v Speaker 1>who Kay Sinat is, and mister Beast I don't know

<v Speaker 1>who these other fucking people are. Also. I wish EO

<v Speaker 1>Sky gets down and dirty and have an extreme rules

<v Speaker 1>matter WrestleMania be knowing Triple H he wants his favorites

<v Speaker 1>clean and pollen. Can we stop with the extreme rules stuff?

<v Speaker 1>I mean enough, extreme rules is stupid. I don't want

<v Speaker 1>Eosky and Oscar out there hitting each other with fucking

<v Speaker 1>kendo sticks. Okay, put them in the ring ding ding

<v Speaker 1>ding and let them do what they do best. Let

<v Speaker 1>them go out there and wrestle We don't need the plunder,

<v Speaker 1>we don't need the bullshit. It is completely played out.

<v Speaker 1>It is completely unnecessary. Take that shit somewhere else. Give

<v Speaker 1>me a wrestling match between Osca and Eosky. That is

<v Speaker 1>all I ask for. Gmb Raquel praise is a sysop.

<v Speaker 1>It was meh against both Stephanie and EO. Aaron says,

<v Speaker 1>three pull aparts in the last two shows. I'm telling you, man,

<v Speaker 1>they love their pull aparts. Look, I love a good

<v Speaker 1>pull apart brawl as much as the next guy, but

<v Speaker 1>not when you fucking do them every every week and

<v Speaker 1>they're not even that good. Nick Grosso after tonight, I

<v Speaker 1>assume we are getting EO against Oscar at WrestleMania, and

<v Speaker 1>we are getting I Show Speed and the Vision against

<v Speaker 1>l A. Knight and the Ussos. Yeah, I mean, I

<v Speaker 1>guess you could do that. I guess that would be

<v Speaker 1>a way to get them all on the show. Jordan, Uh, Nope,

<v Speaker 1>not doing it, Jordan, Thank you, Lakers. Pats Adam Cole

<v Speaker 1>was born. What did the docs say? It's a babe.

<v Speaker 1>Robbie says this show felt like a bunch of random

<v Speaker 1>randomness thrown together in a rush. At a bunch of botches.

<v Speaker 1>There is quite a bit of random randomness on these

<v Speaker 1>WWE shows heading into WrestleMania. You're not wrong about that, hey, Oscar,

<v Speaker 1>I show Speed against La Night to WrestleMania fourteen minutes,

<v Speaker 1>four and three quarter stars. Not in this lifetime. Dev

<v Speaker 1>to desk. What is your favorite WWE MSG pay per view?

<v Speaker 1>Probably Summer Slim ninety one. Mister Vivor Series two thousand

<v Speaker 1>and two is a memorable one, you know, first elimination Chamber.

<v Speaker 1>But I think I'd have to go Summer Slim ninety

<v Speaker 1>one personally, or you know what I mean. WrestleMania ten

<v Speaker 1>was a great WrestleMania. Yeah, either one of those. Either

<v Speaker 1>one is fine. BROI build is terrible. Card looks awesome. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>Card is feeling in nicely. Retro Koh Gunther takes the

<v Speaker 1>match for Haman, and in return, Gunther wants Haman to

<v Speaker 1>arrange a match for him with Brock at SummerSlam. It

<v Speaker 1>could be an iou situation that I could see that

<v Speaker 1>being a possibility, sure, because he wants to be the

<v Speaker 1>one to retire Brock. I don't know, Man, I don't know, Man.

<v Speaker 1>I just doesn't feel to me like Oba is winning,

<v Speaker 1>and I don't see how you could just move on

<v Speaker 1>from that, Devin says, by her cell more unbearable female

<v Speaker 1>authority figure Dixie Carter or authority era Stephanie McMahon. Dixie Carter,

<v Speaker 1>she had no business meeting on TV. Mark Kwan says,

<v Speaker 1>solo and chat surgery went good. Thanks for the well wishes, Solo.

<v Speaker 1>When will you attend another WrestleMania. Maybe the next time

<v Speaker 1>they go back to New Orleans. If they were going

<v Speaker 1>to be in New Orleans this year and I was

<v Speaker 1>already making plans with friends and then they pulled it

<v Speaker 1>away and they decided to go back to Vegas, and

<v Speaker 1>so that was the end of that. So probably if

<v Speaker 1>they go back to New Orleans, I think a bunch

<v Speaker 1>of us would probably go. Aaron says Odds seeing Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>McMahon getting a babyface reaction, Dude, where have you been?

<v Speaker 1>She's been getting baby face reactions every time she comes out,

<v Speaker 1>Like every WrestleMania she comes out, and she's been getting

<v Speaker 1>baby face reactions for the past few years. Uh LEO.

<v Speaker 1>I like Russev, but if he can get a match

<v Speaker 1>at WrestleMania, I don't want to hear Anyone saying Keana

<v Speaker 1>James should not get a match at WrestleMania this year, well,

<v Speaker 1>Keana James is not an important part of the roster.

<v Speaker 1>Has barely even been on TV for six months. If

<v Speaker 1>there was a multi woman ladder match for the US title,

<v Speaker 1>sure you could put Keana James in there, But otherwise

<v Speaker 1>there's no spot for Keana James on the show. The

<v Speaker 1>only reason russev is in there is because they're just

<v Speaker 1>sticking a whole bunch of people in a ladder match.

<v Speaker 1>Unless they do the same thing for the women, Keana

<v Speaker 1>ain't getting a match this year, nor should she. There's

<v Speaker 1>no obvious match for her. Also, they need to make

<v Speaker 1>the US title match a triple three, right with Keana

<v Speaker 1>because I don't want to see a straight up one

<v Speaker 1>on one with Tiffany and Julia. Well, I got news

<v Speaker 1>for you. If they do make it a triple threat,

<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be Tiffany, Julia and Chelsea Green, not Keanna James.

<v Speaker 1>Fox with a nineteen ninety nine says brother, Oh your

<v Speaker 1>dog be brother, Thank you. Fox. Alexander with a four

<v Speaker 1>ninety nine For all those people that pay ten k

<v Speaker 1>to ride the Cody bus with him, I bet every

<v Speaker 1>time the car horn is pressed, the sound is what

<v Speaker 1>do you want to talk about?

<v Speaker 2>Now?

<v Speaker 1>I figured the car I figured the horn sound is

<v Speaker 1>probably the woe from his theme song Bace Bears says,

<v Speaker 1>Dusty will forever own. Stephanie McMahon can't believe she was

<v Speaker 1>upset about that. Be a break that was. That was

<v Speaker 1>a great moment, Saint Clair. Bigger flop Nathan Jones, Hide

<v Speaker 1>and Reich or Gable Steveson And could this have worked?

<v Speaker 1>Razor Winds King of the Ring ninety five beats Diesel

<v Speaker 1>for the title and drops it to Bratt. No, I'm

<v Speaker 1>not saying it couldn't have worked. I just I don't

<v Speaker 1>see it. I'm not feeling it. I'm not feeling that

<v Speaker 1>a bigger flop though. I mean they were all flops,

<v Speaker 1>especially Nathan Jones and Gable Steveson. I think Vince looked

<v Speaker 1>at Nathan Jones and had big, kind of big plans

<v Speaker 1>for him. But Gables Thievesen came in with a lot

<v Speaker 1>of fanfare and you know, his amateur wrestling credentials, medalists

<v Speaker 1>and all that, and to see how he flamed out,

<v Speaker 1>I would have to go Gable Steepson on that Bace

<v Speaker 1>Bears isn't jay Uso supposed to be in main events?

<v Speaker 1>Not anymore. The main event jay Uso is no more.

<v Speaker 1>It is now mid card jay Uso. The Earth is healing.

<v Speaker 1>Stone cold Et is with us with in nineteen ninety nine, says, oh,

<v Speaker 1>hell yeah, says the Garden is my town. Then I

<v Speaker 1>remember a young solo monster cheering for stone cold Et

<v Speaker 1>when I whipped that Undertaker at SummerSlam ninety eight, when

<v Speaker 1>he and his Wanna bee brother Kine joined that piece

<v Speaker 1>of trash McMahon, or when Undertaker inadvertently knocked out stone

<v Speaker 1>cold during that match. I forgot to mention that part.

<v Speaker 1>Beas Bears says, buy or sell Biggie or Kofee as

<v Speaker 1>WWE champion. I'm gonna buy on Biggie, sell on Kofe.

<v Speaker 1>Jim Davis, the WWE is eating champions at Wressell McManus,

<v Speaker 1>she needs to turn. She is a lot better at

<v Speaker 1>being a heel. The WWE is eating champions at wrestle.

<v Speaker 1>What the hell does that mean? I have no idea

<v Speaker 1>what you're talking about, but it was entertaining as all hell.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Jim stone cold Et, give me a hell yeah.

<v Speaker 1>If you're still using compu sir as a tumbleweed blows

<v Speaker 1>by how many people in this chat would even know

<v Speaker 1>what COMPU served was. You know, I used to have

<v Speaker 1>a subscription to PC World magazine. I used to be

<v Speaker 1>so excited men when the new issue would come out,

<v Speaker 1>just thumbing through to look for all the new like

<v Speaker 1>programs and tips and tricks or games or whatever it

<v Speaker 1>would be. It was a level of excitement there. I

<v Speaker 1>missed that. I missed that everything was online though I

<v Speaker 1>missed that. Hey, Cheza, good morning, Stone cold Et, thank

<v Speaker 1>you again. Aaron says Triple H saw how over Oba

<v Speaker 1>is and wanted to get the rub San Juan Wolf

<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety nine feels like Brock and Oba should be

<v Speaker 1>main eventing instead of Cody versus Randy or Punk against Roman.

<v Speaker 1>It feels that way, doesn't it. It feels like a real

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania main event, a super pony actually. Jeremy Rose. Jeremy

<v Speaker 1>Rose says, brock Oba kicking off WrestleMania, right, I see

<v Speaker 1>a fuck finish. They don't want either to lose. Now,

<v Speaker 1>you can't do a fuck finish. You gotta have a

<v Speaker 1>winner in the mess. You gotta have a winner, you

<v Speaker 1>gotta have a loser. No fuck finish or WrestleMania super Pony.

<v Speaker 1>If Owens is not the mystery caller Orton has been

<v Speaker 1>talking to and doesn't come back after Mania, is it

<v Speaker 1>fair to say he might be done? No, because there

<v Speaker 1>was never a timetable assigned to when he would be back.

<v Speaker 1>I didn't really have him figured in to be back

<v Speaker 1>until the second half of the year. I'm pretty sure

<v Speaker 1>that was one of my predictions for this year. So

<v Speaker 1>if he's not back around Mania time or shortly after Mania,

<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean anything. Man had neck surgery that takes

<v Speaker 1>time to heal, so I would not read too much

<v Speaker 1>into that. Also, am I gonna get pinned by I

<v Speaker 1>Show's speed at WrestleMania? Yeah? Everyone, Please keep La Night

<v Speaker 1>fans in your thoughts in prayers this evening. Brian Finelli,

<v Speaker 1>the wife and I saw Rowan on Saturday at pubics

<v Speaker 1>or publics. God, jeez, man ah, what a weekend. Huh

<v Speaker 1>The wife and I saw. I'll tell your wife they

<v Speaker 1>saw Rowan at publics while he didn't have the lantern

<v Speaker 1>on him. Yeah, you know why, because fucking Solo Socoa

<v Speaker 1>still has the lantern while he didn't have the lantern

<v Speaker 1>on him for me to throw in a cater infested lake.

<v Speaker 1>He did put his shopping cart back in the cart

<v Speaker 1>corral like a decent human being. Well, that's good to know.

<v Speaker 1>That's good to know. Good. I hate people who don't

<v Speaker 1>do that. I hate people. You know what I hate

<v Speaker 1>the most, You know what I fucking despise. And it

<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to be a supermarket. It could be anywhere.

<v Speaker 1>When you go and you go to park your car

<v Speaker 1>in the parking lot and someone has left the cart

<v Speaker 1>in a parking space that is not a parking space

<v Speaker 1>for a cart. Put the fucking cart back, you lazy ass.

<v Speaker 1>More do you think people have soured on Hangman lately? No,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. And Alex says, if at least

<v Speaker 1>one more name is going to be added to the

<v Speaker 1>ladder match, then it has to be Phoenix. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>what are we doing here? I don't know. Every other

<v Speaker 1>member of the match is a rock star, gunh there's

<v Speaker 1>been overpushed relative to his star power. Relative to his

<v Speaker 1>star power. I'm glad they're pushing an actual professional wrestler

<v Speaker 1>who goes out there and puts on great matches. What's

<v Speaker 1>not to love. I've seen plenty of people who were

<v Speaker 1>over pushed, who did not know how to work, and

<v Speaker 1>they were all sizzle and no steak. It's nice to

<v Speaker 1>have someone that actually has the steak all laid out,

<v Speaker 1>even if there's not a lot of sizzle there. Gun

<v Speaker 1>there's a throwback. Enjoy him. There aren't very many people

<v Speaker 1>like him. Enjoy him. Who would you rank above Triple

<v Speaker 1>H and the Attitude Era? Everybody? Who are the household

<v Speaker 1>WWE names in USA right now? Household ww names Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns and Cody Rhoads. See I'm punk to an extent.

<v Speaker 1>I do feel like more people probably have heard of

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns and Cody Rhoads though, and evidently, if the

<v Speaker 1>merch numbers are to be believed, Stone Cold, Steve Austin,

<v Speaker 1>and The Rock those are still the biggest household names

<v Speaker 1>from w W UH Robert Peterson, Hey Solo bold prediction

<v Speaker 1>double turn for Cody and Randy. I don't think it's

<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's so bold. I see there being

<v Speaker 1>more of a chance of a double turn in the

<v Speaker 1>Sammy and Trick match. Personally, Alex says, don't think this

<v Speaker 1>was the must see raw as advertised. There is no

<v Speaker 1>such thing as a musty WWE show. They don't exist

<v Speaker 1>anymore now with the weekly shows. Raw hasn't been musty

<v Speaker 1>in over a decade at least. SmackDown has never been

<v Speaker 1>musty like truly mussy, not in the last you know,

<v Speaker 1>decade plus. There is no such thing anymore as a

<v Speaker 1>mussy WWE show. They don't exist. Morris is getting tired

<v Speaker 1>of people making excuses for Hobbes. What excuses are there

<v Speaker 1>to be made? They fucked up by putting him in

<v Speaker 1>the Royal Rumble. If they weren't going to debut him,

<v Speaker 1>there was no point in him being in the Royal Rumble.

<v Speaker 1>They should have just held him out. You want to

<v Speaker 1>put him in dark matches, put him in dark matches

<v Speaker 1>and save him for the Raw after WrestleMania. There was

<v Speaker 1>no point to him being in the Rumble other than

<v Speaker 1>just two pop people. That's it. Literally the only reason

<v Speaker 1>Super Pony don't understand people who don't like a gunther. Look,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm not saying people everyone has to like him,

<v Speaker 1>but there are people who are like, I don't get it,

<v Speaker 1>I don't get it, or he's overrated. No, he's not.

<v Speaker 1>You don't have to get it, you don't have to

<v Speaker 1>like it. His push is not an accident. He's pushed

<v Speaker 1>for a reason. And I like the fact that there

<v Speaker 1>aren't very many other people on that roster like him,

<v Speaker 1>who wrestle like him, who look like him, who talk

<v Speaker 1>like him, who work like him. We need more of that.

<v Speaker 1>In mac tub do you see Triple H hogging the

<v Speaker 1>spotlight and Cody against RKO. No, there's no reason for

<v Speaker 1>him to be involved. We already got Stephanie. We don't

<v Speaker 1>need the other one. One of them is enough. We

<v Speaker 1>don't need more than one. Sena, Yeah, well, yes, well Sena.

<v Speaker 1>Of course, John Cena would be the household name. I

<v Speaker 1>hear him in every Honda commercial now, I hear his voice.

<v Speaker 1>Soon as the commercial comes on, I go up there

<v Speaker 1>he is, there's John Cena. So again, the Wheel said

<v Speaker 1>three point fifty is what we needed for the likes tonight,

<v Speaker 1>and we are currently at let's see five eighty seven.

<v Speaker 1>I'd say we smashed that goal. What do you think

<v Speaker 1>May's fifty six months of channel membership? Look at this guy?

<v Speaker 1>Buy or sell? What world series did you hate more?

<v Speaker 1>Two thousand or twenty fifteen, twenty fifteen, although the Yankees

<v Speaker 1>fans were insufferable in that first series, but fifteen, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and six, don't even don't even get me started.

<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>Did you say, Honda brought to you by Voice Keys?

<v Speaker 1>So ashamed this man, Ben, I'm very disappointed. That was terrible.

<v Speaker 1>All right, here we go. I don't know did we

<v Speaker 1>do it on Friday? I don't even remember if we

<v Speaker 1>did be the booker on Friday. I don't think we did.

<v Speaker 1>We gotta make it a good one. We have Randy

<v Speaker 1>Orton and I guess many Randy Orton in this photo

<v Speaker 1>here Matt Riddle, who remembers who remembers RK brow feel

<v Speaker 1>so long ago. We never did get a proper ending

<v Speaker 1>with those two RK bro against Shelton Benjamin and Charlie

<v Speaker 1>Hass the world's greatest tag team. That'd be a kick

<v Speaker 1>ass match. I'd love to see that match. Match number two.

<v Speaker 1>It Shotzi in her tank. I gotta talk to her

<v Speaker 1>about maybe we can get the tank in House of Glory. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>she's our HG Women's champion. She's been all over the place.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, she's working everywhere non stop, and she brings

<v Speaker 1>that belt everywhere with her always representing we gotta get

<v Speaker 1>the tank. The only thing is at the NYC Arena,

<v Speaker 1>that ramp. It's not wide enough. It's not wide enough

<v Speaker 1>for the tank. Shatzi against Tiffany Stratton. Look at this.

<v Speaker 1>We have champion against champion, folks. We got champion against

<v Speaker 1>champion here and be the booker. And now our main event. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>we got Rush. When you mess with the bull, you

<v Speaker 1>get the Herns. Rush was in the main event of

<v Speaker 1>Dynamite on Wednesday against Darby Allen. Now he's in the

<v Speaker 1>main event to be the booker. Hey, we got a

<v Speaker 1>collision match here in the main but we got a

<v Speaker 1>damn good one. It's a Rouche against Kevin Knight the jet.

<v Speaker 1>Look at this jacking Brett Hart's gimmick. Just change the

<v Speaker 1>color of the glasses. Now, Kevin Knight and Rouche would

<v Speaker 1>be a very good match. And I do believe that

<v Speaker 1>is a clean sweep.

<v Speaker 2>Light.

<v Speaker 1>Yes, how about that. We brought back be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>We got a clean sweep sweep him on out. That's

<v Speaker 1>what I like to see, especially after we have a

<v Speaker 1>night where we miss it and then we finally do it.

<v Speaker 1>I want to make sure it's a good one for

<v Speaker 1>all of you. Looks cooler than Brett. Yeah, I mean

<v Speaker 1>he he's got a good look. You know, he's got

<v Speaker 1>the shades Mike Bailey, I'm not sure about that anyway.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you guys for a fun stream talking Monday Night Raw.

<v Speaker 1>Gotta wake up in the morning because we got work

<v Speaker 1>to do. We have episode number eight of the Uncrowned

<v Speaker 1>Wrestling Show, courtesy of Uncrowned and Yahoo Sports. Gonna be

<v Speaker 1>a good one. Got a lot to cover, a lot

<v Speaker 1>to talk about on that show, including that terrible story

<v Speaker 1>of the stabbing or was there a stabbing at the

<v Speaker 1>wrestling show the other day? There is some debate about that.

<v Speaker 1>That'll be one of the many stories we talk about

<v Speaker 1>on the show tomorrow. Be aware that the next time

<v Speaker 1>I'm with you live, the next time we have a

<v Speaker 1>chance to be the booker, will be Friday for Smackdan.

<v Speaker 1>US top wrestling podcasts across the board, and there we
