High Times After Night 2 Of Wrestlemania

0:22 Javon javan javone, How how how did we get here? Bro? How did we get here? Like we're coming into WrestleMania Night too, and my thing is the stage was set, The stage was set, Bro for the perfect quintessential. I'm just oh my goodness, I am so I'm just beside myself right now. I know. I just for those of you that haven't heard, that don't have internet connection or anything like that, Cody Rhodes has lost his opportunity because of what presumably is because of a streak. Because we want to break the thousand days, and you know, nobody else can do it, so we have to do this because we don't know ifever gonna get a title run like this again. So this is it. Cody loses.

1:15 It wasn't clean, a bunch of interference as per usual, and the tribal chief remains. Do we acknowledge him still? Yes? Now it's our tribal chiefs still Yes. As a wrestling fan in twenty twenty three, I feel like it's just too much to ask for a heel to win clean, just once, just once, no goons, no nothing. I will say this, there's certain times where I think the heel can win. Clean Under proved it earlier in the night right, But this ain't one of those times. Okay, because had he had he beat Cody Clean, I think that would have done damnage that with it done damn m because now you you pretty much gave him an out. He can always just be like, hey, I had you great that, I had you dead the rights and you needed him to save you. That that's there, there, it is, that's the story. That's the story now. But do you think that's what we're gonna play back into and Backlash? Yeah? So you think he's not getting a title shot at Backlash? Oh no, no, Yeah, that's what I'm saying because a lot of people I have seen now Organs are saying that you know, Cody's gonna win at Backlash, And I'm like, that just discounts the championship. I'm not losing. I'm not winning my big title on a on a not Power five show. If that was, if we're just gonna run it back at Backlash day, that's the point, then Cody should have

2:46 just won, right then you do the then you do the rematch. But you don't do that yet. You saved that for summer slam and unless you can't get unless you know for sure you're not gonna get the rocket forty, then you run it back at forty. He's got to lose it in Detroit. He's got to. No, we don't who's he good of wrestling between nobody. He can wrestle everybody. He's already beating everybody, roll them out again. This this, there's a ton of people that he ain't beat yet. I mean, let's run it with Let's run it with La Night for money. Yeah, like you can. You can do an La Night thing. You can. You can give rape Masterial one last shot. Hmm about lastly, you can run Lashly back if you want to, I mean help, I'll tell you the other person. They can run back aj Styles when he comes back, run him back. That there's there's people you can run back. I just think everybody just like kind of got a chill, you know, like he lost, Okay, the whole here's the thing that everybody keeps like ignoring. There really was no story. I mean, he won the Royal Rumble, that was the story, right, saying enough, I think the story between him and Paul Hayman was a better story than what we got between him and Roman. The build at least that problem that ain't That ain't enough to knock off a nine hundred day rain. We need more.

4:14 I think what hurt him is to him getting hurt, because I think he had he not gotten hurt, we would have had all those months right to build the story. And I think, honestly and truly that was the plan. I really truly think Coldy was meant to win tonight, right, but because he got hurt, it kind of derailed everything and you didn't get a chance to truly tell the story right, Like they never hit like real tall. Him and Roman didn't interact until what after elimination chamber because it's like a month, Yeah, I mean, yeah, pretty express build. So maybe we show we show, we take time, we build it for like six months and just maybe at like backlash, you think maybe backlashes or backlash we get like sco versus Cody, just to kind of keep him invested. That's that's the natural progression. I think when he started beefing with Solo out the blue actually, which didn't make sense at the time on that raw, but here it is now you just roll it with that. Yeah, at back let's do a six man do Cody and Cody Sam and ko versus do usos and solo? Yeah, there you go, or stay there for that very for the next what the next paper would be with money in the bank after this at the back last money in the bank. Yeah, well then we'll wait, we'll do it now because I might need Cody, and I don't know if I want Cody and money in the bank though, But no way, no way. He wins on a cash and that would just discount the

5:46 whole thing and true, but you just have Cody get it in and just be like, I bet I'm cashing in a Summer Slam. This is my night. I'm gonna beat you a Summer Slam and he knocks them all or or if the one has some fun with it, have a heel, win money to be like Gumper. Let Cody make it the Summer Slam, win the belt, and then let Gumper cash and on him and beat him and now do the chase all over again, and then they wrestling media four, Did we get the foreign heel versus home lander we've always wanted? Just I think that's that's that's what we've always wanted, you know, Like I just at a glance, I just I just thought that this was so obvious that there's no way they're going to swerve us. And then of course they do, and I'm just like, bro, like you know what I mean.

6:42 And I think that's just them being like, well, you got what you wanted on night one. Remember y'all didn't want this, y'all wanted saying me. And it's like, I think at this point, like people just want him. People want Roman to lose. I mean, there's got to be some majority of people that want him to lose, right like that. But if he's your top, he'll that's exactly what you're going You want them to want you to lose, so he'll keep tuning in to see who beats you. But it and it kind of I don't know, and it kind of run its course now. I mean, it's nine hundred plus days, three rain WrestleManias in a row. I mean, you can make a case for it. I think I think the biggest problem is just for the first time in like probably his whole rain for real, Sammy and Cody has been the two biggest baby faces. He's literally faced right. Everybody else has just been like middle of the row baby faces. These are the two big ones you faced. Yeah, and now it just feels like, I these should be the guys who beat you and carry and start to carry torch. But I just think when it comes with Cody, I really think Cody is the guy.

7:58 Don't get it twisted. He's God, he is He's the one that will dethrow Roman. I'm less, I'm less they get it in their head that I don't know unless Jay, unless Jay White comes over and they think that's him, or Kenny Omega comes over, that's it. It had to be like Kenny comes over. That's the only person I can see other than Cody. You don't think that hunk Philip comes over. And they would never they would never put that boy in that position Hill, No, you catch that illt Survivor series, it would never. I think that. I think we're just setting up a big push for Detroit, and I think Cody's gonna do it in summer Slam. That gives us four months, you know, or well less than four months now because it's normally at the end of August, so gives us, you know, three to four months of this build everything happening from there and then he wins it, and it's still the second biggest show that they put on per year by their anders. Personally, I think Rumble is the second, but you know, Summer saying by itself is you know, it is the biggest party in the summer. So for Cody to win it there, I'd be okay with it had to have been one big four. If it was Backlas, I should just discounts it entirely.

9:15 And that's not fair, right, Like I get everybody wanted to happen at night. I get it as Rustylvania. It's the big thing and everything. I totally understand. It's just stories just ain't been there and now this as a layer to his story and chasing the belt that okay, now this is now now we're getting into it because it's just I've said this before. It just seems so easy, so far from him, right, Like he came back in Rustlemania, beat Seth Romus, kept beating Seth Romus, he got hurt and still beat Sef Rollins. Took time, all of came back to the Rumble was what entrance twenty nine and thirty he was number Yeah he was, And it's just been chilling for the pad. He's been called post he's cool, and everybody faces he just beats them. It's like this has been too fucking easy. Nah, something had to happen, This was it.

10:09 I just yeah. I mean if when you put it like that, when you run it all back like that, I'm okay with it because it's not as long as I thought originally. But at the same time, too, like if I have to wait three more months roughly to get a new champion and continue to tell the stories and get these awesome promos with Cody and Paul Hayman and all this stuff, okay with it. I think we can suck it up for a little longer to get that sweet, sweet send off. But like, at the same time, I can't. I won't deny that I'm not disappointed, and if it doesn't play out that I'm gonna be like this kind of ruined Cody's trajectory because there's a there's another multiverse where we go to and we see Cody Rhodes getting the Icy Championship or something and not getting the world title. Right, like, we'll see what happened tomorrow. Like that's gonna be the big tale, right, That's gonna be the big tale.

11:05 We'll see what happens tomorrow because being challenging comfort and we know, oh damn, you know what it'll be, It'll be funny. Is the only reason that he lost is because he brought an AW Superstar two of the show and sat him in the front row because technically negative one is on the roster page on AW dot cot home. Like it's cool in theory. I wish that they would have said that that was Luke Harper's son, because they did, you know, they mentioned that that that Luke Harper and John Huber are the same person, but like he didn't. They were just like, oh, this is a former ww superstar or former wrestler son John Stubert, And I was like, or John Huber, I'm sorry, but like I just like to me, I'm like, damn, like just say Luke Harper or something like. It's it's not gonna be disingenuous because like you know, when you watch it with like casual fans that don't know who who that is, you know what I mean, there gonna be who the fuck is that.

12:00 I'm like, it's Luke Harper And they're like, why don't they just say that I'm like, yeah, well it is what it is, you know. Yeah, but I just okay, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna just say this right now. Night two. Night two for me was not Night one. How about that in a bad way, like it ain't had a chance and had a chance. Like after that come from match, I was like, oh oh it's special. And then the wrong person just started winning. It was like, well, fuck, okay, speaking of wrong people winning. UM to kind of jump off this. I want to get it. I want to get your immediate reaction. The the Shane McMahon stuff is going to be interesting over the next week. That was the greatest segment in the history of professional wrestling. Like I have seen some shit, I've seen Hawk Folk into a heel, i have seen Austin three, sixteen, Jericho's debut, the Man Kiss My Ass, Club eight Ate everything, This by far was the fucking greatest segment. It was just so many highs and loads like, oh my god, like I don't know the I wish, I wish I could find out the athlete plan that that happened. No, oh my god. The thing that I found hilarious was that when we were you know, we have our little group message and stuff. When Shane comes out, you immediately text us since his greatest WrestleMania ever. I'm like,

13:30 okay, well, I blame the Edge Match for why this wasn't but but going back to this, we have to give kudos to Snoop bro. Snoop saved the day because this could have been crazy awful, right because it's already starting to get awkward, right when he was running back and forth not knowing what to do. I was like, oh no, Shane's actually hurt, like this, he's pulling him. He's pulling his daddy here, like this is crazy. But like, kudos to kudos to everybody involved. Miss the ref Sean rossapp actually called out the ref shouted her out because she's the one that pitched on the fly um apparently to do the people's elbow finisher, and I was like, okay, like yeah, kudos to her for being prepped, kudos to Miss for being a professional, and Snoop Dogg for me and just the most entertaining one of the most entertaining people on the planet. Like r I p Shane, like, we'll see you in the underground. But like that one knit for me. Like two nights in a row, it's you get Pat McAfee and Sha McMahon. I was like, damn, um, that's great. I hope they do that now from every year from now on. Like who's gonna come out and beat up miss tonight? Right right?

14:43 That that's a new street they should have right there, right like, oh, like next year, if Stings no longer with aw, it's him. He just popped up, what this is cool? Oh? So um, what do you okay? So I love the pacing in the beginning because between the two matches, I actually have it up right here. Between the two matches, less than fifteen minutes for both, like combined, the total time that we spent was less than fifteen minutes for Brock and the the women Showcase tag match good And I'm like, that's exactly what it needs to be, Like, that's exactly it. Like we got a less than five minute Brock lesser match where he was getting beat up sold I think that an underrated part of his game and I tweeted this out is that Brock's actually one of the better sellers on the roster really because he never has to do it.

15:33 He can get I get away with not being like Dolph Ziggler, but he still does it, which is like crazy to me that he's been good at it. Um almost do you feel like almost came off looking strong. I know, like after after the match was over, he was like that close, that close somebody still lost one f five, Like, I mean, it's a less to beat him. Okay, So that's I can live with it. If it was somebody else, I'd probably be like, uh nah nah, But it was Brock, so I live with it. I mean, you know, I don't know if Omas is going to be holding the title anytime soon, but if they just keep finding people that want to step up to the plate, like bron Breaker would be a great opponent from Oma Smooth. You know, he's because that's his gimmick, right, He's big muscle guy and that's what he's gonna do. Um. Same deal for like somebody like McIntyre, which we'll get into. Um let's actually jump over to the second half of that fifteen minutes. Uh. The women's tag team Showcase match was probably the weakest of the weekend. I think that's fair to say.

16:40 Probably probably all right, all right, all right, I see, I see, yeah, Okay, that is that is the worst one of the weekend, and when you look at who's involved, you really shouldn't be that surprised. But at the same time too, I'm kind of like I was reading reports earlier that Rhonda actually turned down another WrestleMania plan to do this match with Dana because they want, you know, they want to actually do this, And I'm like, that's cool. You know, should get the rub By proxy from you know, Shana will and honestly, they're not doing much, you know, I think that Rhonda, I think that's actually a logical next step for the Women's Tag Team Championships, which you know that sells to me, Leda and Becky versus Shana. Yeah, that should that should be the logical next step. Put the belts one down, Let's get them on back and lead to put it on rond in them and just let them have a dominant rank, sure right, let them have an USO's type run, give them tag teams, give them makeshift tag teams, the stars that we love, And I think that you can get away with that for a few months, right, like you know, and then of course may become SummerSlam that's when they drop them. But in the meantime, we can get some better work out of these two to kind of reshowcase why they're actually here, not just because they're badass women, but they get on the mic or something like. I know Ronda is not the greatest promo ever. We've established that since the beginning, but maybe this will be her chance to kind of get showcased and actually work on it and give us some more time. What

18:12 do you think about her pulling like the Jericho Royal rumble tactic of just like I'm never gonna be seen or involved at all, and then at the end, I'm gonna get tagged in and We're gonna win. Like I like it. It's an easy day of pay. She got a WrestleMania check for just chilling on the side of the what I can get. I would look kudos kudos to them. Um. I thought Live in Rockell were the best in the ring, but Sonya Deville probably had the fit of the match in my opinion, he had the fit. You know, she was rocking at Chelsea Green. I have no idea what they're doing with her, no idea, no clue. This isn't like hot Chelsea, this is just like I'm happy to be here, like she needed Carmelo in his match. Her and Carmelo work, Carmello work like yeah, I think so I didn't. What do you feel. I mean Natalia has got to the door, has got to be shut in there eventually, right, I mean she's gonna be almost at fifteen WrestleManias in a row. I mean this her spot, this her role, like sane, she she's never gonna be back at the top. Yeah, but her surgeon happy in the meantime. So right, you can show here and do these type of matches, get a throwaway title match every now and day, She'll be ok. Okay, well, let's take a let

19:44 We're gonna take a quick break kind of regroup, and then we'll go into the remainding of the show. So I want to get to this one because this is the my opinion, this was the best match of the night and second best from the show, and my like binding both nights second best for me. I know this was your your favorite. It seemed from the beginning. I don't know if the main event kind of threw you off, but the main event is now my number one just for the ending alone. Okay, you just love pissing people off. I tell glorious, everybody just has their panties in the bunch right now. Like when when wrestling Twitter gets unified, it's a good thing and they just unified in that ship they hate hate is mad? Well, I tell you who else is mad? Irish and Scottish people. Because came out and did the damn job. Dude, he came out, did the job. Made Shamus bleed out of his chest.

20:42 This match was fucking awesome. Dude, gosh, it was great, Like like I need this again, Let's do this again at backlash back to keep running. I was just I couldn't believe it, Like I just felt like, you know, we hyped it up coming into the show. This was the best match of the night. So what does that mean it lived up to it or do you think they can actually surpass this? Oh it's I didn't expect to be like this. Hm. I thought it'd be good, but this was amazing. Like, hey, I agree, I went right there with you. Yeah, so yeah, we need to run this be hell, it is running back a smack now who cares light the better?

21:29 Do you feel like Shamus was the baby facing this? Yes? Like not that sounds silly at a glance, but like if you had to, if you were just watching this, like you would imagine that Drew was a bad guy, Gunther was a bad guy, and Shamus was the one because it just seemed like every time he build momentum, the crowd fed into it more and more and more. And I think it's a good thing because if this pays off the way that it should, in my opinion, now that Shamus wins it down the line, there's just the one to take it off of Gunther, Like this was approved. This was like proved that to me at least. Yeah, I think it showcased guys in the back that like, hey, this should be the way that we do it, especially because I've been reading rumors that McIntyre is not really happy with their contract negotiations right now.

22:12 And um, I don't blame him. I think that he deserves the fucking all right, he can go, Nah, come on, hey, he can go. They got a ring around the world, tight over. They were ready for him, go right ahead. Oh dude, he was mister Ovid. He saved the business. Hm, he was mister Covid. He saved their business. He carried him through I saved the business. You just held it down until for Roman. Romans saved the business, has saved our business. Oh he was almost out of business, right, Vincent was almost out of business and then roaming finally for the past three years, record record earnies, record profits is just it's amazing, right, I mean, on the on Wednesday nights, they're just they're trying. They're putting on really good shows. Just people are trying. People don't tune in. Oh my goodness. I mean, I don't know if I want part two of this.

23:11 I just kind of want to see who's next, Like if because obviously I want Shamus to be next, but like if somebody else steps in to fight gun Through. I just want to keep seeing him wrestle I don't really care who it's against. I don't care if it's for championships. Just he's one of the best in the world, dude, for a reason. Let me tell you who else is one of the best in the world. Though Hennessey's own Bianca bell Air one of the most entrances that we've seen this show in WrestleMania history. I feel I loved it. We had the Step Team come out, we had Girl doing this like crazy like acrobatics, and I was like, what the no, this is too weird for me, Like that's like a shut Shout out to that little girl, right, because I learned what did they call these depressed conferences afterwards? Yeah? Yeah, like the scrums. Triple Late said that her mother passed away today. So shout out to that little girl, right, because that ain't no way I would have been out there, No way, no way. So shout out to her, to her because I'm glad they told Triple H that not Vince, because Vince would absolutely been like, well, Bianca's got to lose now, like damn wait, well damn, that's all it was gonna take. I'm just saying, dude, Like, first of all, this match was no

24:42 Rea Charlotte by any means. But I didn't hate it. I thought that she. I thought it was good. Like Oscar was doing stuff that I didn't think that we would see for a little bit longer, honestly, and that was fucking with her hair. M Oscar was pulling on it and then at one point to kind of like get out of a submission, like she like dragged. I thought she was gonna pull it. I didn't know what to believe. I was like, Yo, if Oscar is the one to cut it, that's that's a choice, right, all right? Hey, I like how the crowd started to turn on Bianca. M I did. I did like that because now maybe we can start the wheels turning on a heel turn for her, right, and they have some faces on the roster that would be fine to have, Like, I feel like there's a story there with maybe like Candice or something like somebody that people can get behind and have gotten behind in the past. Hey, I wouldn't mind seeing her and Becky dool the game with the rolls reverse. Sure, her as the heel.

25:40 I was like that. I wouldn't like, could you imagine her being a heel and that her and Bailey on the same side. I could. I could live with that. Yeah, that's also a move I love. I just like the possibilities around here endless, I think. And then of course, like they have women waiting in the wings down in the next as well. Like you know, I'm just saying like, if there was any time to kind of like start playting the seeds for Bianca's heel run, this would be it. But she kind of falls in that Roman category where it's like yeah, but when they finally do turn heel, like people are gonna talk about it, right, And I think I wouldn't No, like I wouldn't mind a rock sand call up. Sure, if she's healthy enough, let's do it. Throw the title on her, like, let's do this.

26:23 Let's honestly, I wouldn't blame you. She's one of the bigger baby faces in the company. M hm, you know what I'm saying. And she raps triple or book or t so like like I'm just saying, like I don't know, I'm excited for the raw women's picture, but I was not super thrilled with this match. I mean it was, it was a fine match. This this could have made vented like fast Lane or something, but like this, like I'm just I guess we got spoiled last night. That's kind of where I am, and that's how it goes. But yeah, I think like the match started off. It started off slow. It was almost like, Okay, they was really trying to feel each other out. It don't feel like they were really on the same page. But towards the end, it's like okay, yeah, kod and missed the miss but yeah, that was yeah, like that sequence right there was amazing into the armbar, Oh that was amazing, Like yeah, oh yeah, Like it got people, got people in the house that I was watching it. You know, it got people pretty pumped. They were like, don't tab tab, which is the reaction that you want. But it also had the displeasure not only not being re in Charlotte, but also being after the gunther intercontent element, inter continental too. So it is what it is. It was a come down, unfortunately for them, But it was the right call I think, to keep Bianca as the champion. Like I just I just couldn't see it. I couldn't see it because it was kind of like a spontaneous build with chart with Oscar. That is that's true, that's true. But

27:53 I think that if you're going to switch Oscar and give her this new personality in this in this new thing, well just let her win. Let her be the U. She ain't got to hold the title forever, right, Let her get the win. Then let it maybe unlock a different side of Bianca where it's like, Okay, now she realized I gotta be a little more aggressive, I gotta I gotta fight I gotta get down and dirty a little bit more, right, But then the rematch happens and then she can go and knock her off and then move on and hopefully they got another girl built up in time. I don't know who's next, you know, Like I guess we might do an Oscar again. But I mean there's gotta be somebody that's gonna kick out of the Mist, right way to kick out of Pip, And so there's gotta be somebody that'll that will kick out of the Mist, you know. Yeah, And so if that's Bianca, that's great, but I don't want to see this again at backlash, just so her, you know what I mean, just so she can kick out of the Mist. Like that's dumb, like you can. It doesn't have to be her, Like Oscar could go to SmackDown and wrestle Rhea and Ria's the first one to kick out or something. I don't know. Yeah, but then that just means we get Bianca Charlotte. They'll just throw Charlotte over here, and I don't know if I want that, Like, yeah, I don't know what Charlotte's gonna do now. I mean that felt like a send off to me. So like last night, like I felt like she could come in on Monday night Raw and be like I'm out tomorrow and I wouldn't blame her. I don't think that's going to be the case. I think she wants to tie her dad. But she's only two tier runs away. That's

29:26 true. That's true, which is crazy to think about. But yeah, like they wasted zero time. Let me tell you. Let me tell you who wasted up a lot of time though, Edge and the fucking Demon. No, you mean Edge and the fucking referees, Like what kind of bullshit is this? Like I'm gonna eat them to like figure out this blood situation. M well, that's the thing. Yeah, I mean it was a it was a pose that didn't see it whatever, I got you. Um, there was a stoppage and after spot in the match, we're Edged through the ladder at the Demon, and the ref came down and saw that he was actually bleeding and they stopped. They did a blood stoppage and Edge.

30:11 Kudos to Edge, and I tweeted this out. While he was down, he was prepping everything for the end of the match because he was like, no way, we're not finishing this. But while we're doing this. I'm just gonna build this so we can get the spots done quickly, which signals to me two things. One, they were going to use all of the time allotted. Their match ended up being eighteen minutes. And I'm just saying, like, if it wasn't for this blood stoppage, I really feel like we probably would have gotten a twenty two twenty three minute match out of this um. But I thought it was a better ending that way, because you know how edge bizarre, bro, they just drag sometimes, right, And I'm not a big demon guy anyway, I think that sometimes like this this thing because it's it's weird to me because when it comes to the Demon, right, he's the all encompassing He's just he's a no cell machine. He doesn't take damage. He's just invincible. He just wants to wrestle and fuck you up. But he's not even the leader of his own faction, or at least he's I feel like he's losing the grip of that and it's slowly becoming res faction and Dominic's fashion that's why he should have wine, right, Oh, I agree one hundred percent, And that's kind of where I was going with this is like you're telling me that this this guy whose big thing was always was you know, I have this in me that I can unleash and win whenever I need it, this kind of like anger, this this

31:42 energy. And he loses to Edge, who's you know, well over forty and he's now lost every big match he's had on pay per view, like there it was against Edge and the Mixed Tag or or at Royal Rumble. I mean, he just doesn't doesn't fucking win, So why would he be the leader anymore? Good boy? We just hold out the demon, Like just think about that. We hold out the Demon and for what is Edge? The next one? Up? For Roman again like we've seen it. Oh oh dear, don't let that be the thing. Right. But it's like at this point, going off of what we know about wrestling Math, he has the biggest win on the roster. That's not holding a championship unless we want to do Brock right, and I don't want to see that again.

32:37 We've seen Brock versus Roman five times. M No, I can't do that again. Either. Nope. Like you know there's nobody really in the wheel. Well, I mean I know that, you know, we always talk about the rock and shit, but like, good mon, give me a break. I just at this point, I think the two b needs to figure out what they want to do with these stipulation matches, because if they don't want to be blood and guts that badly, then don't fucking do these kind of matches anymore. Well, I'm giving this. Maybe the cut was really bad. I mean well, like because we don't really know because you couldn't even really see the cut. But maybe they thought, oh, this is this maybe a little bit bad. Let's get this taken care of for he's just bleeding everywhere. Well, maybe it was. Maybe that's what it was, and they couldn't Maybe the cut really wasn't bad, but they couldn't judge it because of the face pain. You know, this is a combination of like red, black, purple and white like and like I didn't know what Edge was doing in an entrance too, by the way, that like disco deaf punk Skeleton Day. I was like, bro, what was fine? They gotta put in the game. I already gotta already gotta thought in mind. Man, oh man, they gotta put it in the game.

34:00 That's hilarious, dude, Jesus, Like, I just I couldn't get I just couldn't get into it. I'm not. I'm not a demon guy, but now especially more, i'm not. Oh shit, maybe I am. Oh my god, umh DJ just sent us the cut. They it's funny that he did that, but we are this is this let's show it up, Steve. Y'all can see it here on YouTube. But dude, yeah, he's got a bunch of staples in his head and it's a gash like something you would see at like hollow screen or something. Jesus, I don't even. He must have cut it on the rope coming down from the ladder. Hit like when when the ladder his head swung back, and maybe he cut it on the actual rope. Maybe there's some exposed mind or something.

34:54 Kudos to him for keeping going, Dude, I don't. That's crazy. Call me a whimp or whatever, but like I would have tapped out on this one out if I'm out my brain showing overall tonight. This ship is ugly. Oh my god, it's fucking nutty. Um yeah, I mean I was just shitting on him too, that's crazy, that's whatever. The sult was the same the result was the same regardless, like that ship is whack. That is so whack. I don't know what happens with Edge going forward. Maybe he's Austin theories his next opponent, but that kind of I mean, I don't want to. I mean, Edge will give him a better match, right, yeah, telling me it's fucking it's a tough one to watch. But now with Valor, I think it's all just gonna be about what's going on SmackDown and he's just gonna slide in and be there's backup for Puerto Rico. That kind of stuff, which is fine, I guess, I don't you know. When it comes to Finnbalter, we're kind of indifferent, and I think that's where we are now because of booking right and his injury prone WrestleMania thirty nine. I have these questions for you if you could keep excuse me, if you could, would you redo the card?

36:29 If you could redo it so you can so when I wrote the question, originally I was saying in terms of like order for each night, But now that I'm kind of thinking about it, like would you have taken matches off and kind of like made you know, replacement ones? Oh, wholeheartedly. Yes, okay, I figured that would be the thing, because you know you're big, You're big tinfoil hat guy. I'll say this, I would probably switch Charlotte and Ria to Night two really and put Bianca Aska night one. M hmm. I would probably do that. They give them a bigger light because, let's face it, Night two was kind of like uh when you until you got to like the Gumfort match and then everything. Yeah, I probably would have like switch those maybe because I think the Charlotte Ria match would have held his own better yeah after comfort than Bianca did um.

37:34 I probably could have did Okay as much as I think is the greatest sect in the vault, I probably would take it all. I probably you could replace him with another mystery opponent if you like, Yeah, that's what I probably would have did. I would have I honestly would have just had Austin Theory come out. They were like, hey, who want to match? Or I would have had Bobby Lashley come out. They'd be like, yo, I want to match her. WrestleMania. I felt like that was one of the weirdest sec mints of the night was when they were like, are Andre the giant battle, we're on a winner or the year, and like he didn't even know if he was supposed to bring the trophy to the center of the ring or what he was supposed to be doing. And I hope he got to WrestleMania check because fuck that if he didn't, he was supposed to have a match, you know what I mean, he was supposed to have a whole ass match and he got taken away because if Bray Wyatt and his personal issues, and of course we wish him the best, but I just can't believe they couldn't come up with a better idea for Bobby, right, and we got no La night on the whole show, right, And that's like his whole name right right, Sure he's going to get something tomorrow night, because I think you're still in LA, So I'm sure he's going to get something tomorrow night. But it's like I would have put them in a stegment or something. Sure, I would have them just fucking wrestle, like I don't know, Yeah, I would have been like, you know, here's this and then the winner gets you know, first DIBs on either the US or in your Continental Championship contender ship. No something easy, and then that's your main event on Friday. There you go. I just that's

39:05 like him just showing up though and being awkward. I was like, dude, this sucks. He's like the dominator, like he's a form W champion, like, and he's coming out here with this trophy and ain't nobody done anything when they win this trophy. I mean, look at Stroman. He was like when he won the trophy, I was like, all right, great, maybe this will kick something off. And then it never did. It never did at all. I think he won the Universal title once. But like I'm just saying, like I feel like in the back they feel that way too, where it's like damn, I'm I'm in the andre huh. Like I'm glad they got rid of the women's one though, Like this is just me being honest, because well, hey, the trophy was provocative as hell and too, like it's just one more thing for you to stress over in book, and like nothing really happens to the winner, right, you know. I Mean we got some funny stuff in the build, like people were making fun of Elias and stuff, but like we could do that other ways if you wanted to. Right, all right, another question.

40:12 So, second question, um, in terms of this WrestleMania, would you say this is a top ten Mania Top ten? You? Okay? Now what about five? Mm? What about five? It's crazy how five numbers make it a little bit more difficult to to say. I will say yes for recency bias sake. Yes, I'm gonna say easy. The top five, yeah, okay, I'll ask you the winners and stuff, just total matches and everything. Yeah, it is one of the best presentations I've ever seen in terms of WrestleMania, which I credit a lot to the fact two different creatives and stuff like that. But I can't like, this felt like a big show. I messaged you guys when Cody came out, and I said, aw, could never pull off a show this scale right where you have a combined attendance of over one hundred and sixty thousand people, Like, I couldn't imagine them on that kind of scale. Ever. That's sad, It's super sad. But like, you watch an entrance like that, and I think that was one of the big reasons why Cody came over, because he was just was like, yeah, like WrestleMania is the echelon of everything.

41:44 It is the show of shows, and I think that after watching what we saw in terms of the presentations and saw these super extravagant entrances. Romans entrance was seven minutes over seven minutes long. Crazy. But I think that somebody like a Kenny Omega, a Jay White Hangman Page when the time comes, maybe maybe even Okada. I don't know, but like you see these dudes that are like at home in other companies and they watch a show like this, there has to be some kind of ruboff effect where it's like, yeah, I could totally do that and have that same kind of thing. I mean, could you imagine some of them? I think. I think, well, I'll say this like, I don't think Kenny cares because he's been in the Tokyo done Tokyo, don't right, Okada's in the same tale.

42:37 I think like a page or something, Yeah, like a page at MJF or somebody like that. Yeah, it hits differently like Kenny Jericho. They've been here, done that, They've been at the Tokyo Dome, you know, so eighty thousand is nothing to them before. Like the younger guys and that was the ones that they should be trying to get after they're seeing this stuff and I guarantee you some of whom was in the crowd, and guarantee you someone just sit there and being an atmosphere. It's like there's a part of he is, like there's party. They gotta be like I want to I want to wrestle here one day. I want to be a part of this one day. Like that's when Sting's gotta come in and be like, hey, oh boy, like I didn't go and my life's turned out just fine. But like I'll be looking at him like, oh, nigga, you know how much money you left from the table. Nah, I am not about to be you. Nope, I'm going tomorrow out. You imagine, Sting, you should have been the ultimate Warrior and you weren't.

43:44 You should have been the warrior that should have been you. Sting versus Hogan in WWE would have been crazy. That's like I believe, I fully believe that wholehearted like Stings should have been in the Warriors spot because I think the world w W would have been so much differently, the word the world of wrestling would have been different, Like oh, totally crazy, but yeah, he should have been in his spot, like like not coming over bullshit. See what he got you? You see what he got you? He gotta he got his match against he got his WrestleMania match, but it wasn't wasn't fucking awesome. Tell you that one fuck out of here. Like actually the guys thing Undertaker, Like WrestleMania seven, they gave us, they gave us a Triple H versus Triple A or Triple H versus Undertaker, Like what twice they gave us Shawn Michael's Undertaker twice? Right, you know Undertaker until NAT until twenty twenties. But like there were people that he wrestled throughout that thing, like he wrestled Big Daddy V at one point. Mm hm m m.

44:53 You know what I mean, Like it was could have replaced him with Sting. I feel like some hell they could the replacement with Steve black Man. It still doesn't have it like that shit like oh bo, maybe Java the chance, like you know, you know, real talk like not to get all subject, but we hold the Undertaker streak in such reverence, right, but when you really look at it, that streak some bullshit because for my first like ten years, he being beat nobody and beating them not the ment. What was his beating like Giant Gonzales just a run and Psycho Sid and all this shit. He had a good matches until he got old, Hey, come on, man, I'm still in the camp. Actually I'm on the topic of the Undertaker. I'm still in the camp that Taker should have lost to see him Punk. But it is what it is. Yeah, that's a hill you can you can you can down by yourself. One that one. No, that's totally fine. I just felt like, you know, I just felt like there were there were legs there and if he was ever going to be the big main event, like you know, stay with it. Maybe you know what, maybe Punk stays. If he does that, who knows. I bet I bet he does, because guess what, that would have been a bigger wrestle media moment than you fucking lose into the rock, right, Like That's what I'm saying. I gotta But it's

46:24 just so mm hmm bro frustrating. Just um. So let's see here, so me u record, Okay, I'm just seeing like who he fought in the beginning, So he wrestled. The streak started in nineteen ninety one. He wrestled Jimmy Snucka, Jake Roberts, Giant Gonzalez, King Kong mh diesel mm hmmm, Psycho sid Opek, Big boss Man, this is trash, Triple h at at Wrestle Media X seven. That was and that's when they started. I was the first good one. You didn't care about Kane in nineteen ninety eight. That fourteen that was that was. That was a good one. That one was a good one. But then who was after that?

47:22 Big boss Man was in between him and Triple A, right, exactly. Bullshit that was in Helena cell I think that wasn't that the match where he tried to kill him, like for he almost bullshit, that's fucking crazy. Um oh here you go, uh a train and big show. That was bullshit player Okay, that was good. Okay, that was in Toronto, So that was. That was a good one. Cane again in MS for Wrestle Menda twenty Yeah, Randy Orton for the first time in Helena cell right, it starts to getting better. Now that's when the street really he starts to get actually good. You're good matches well, Mark Henry, then Batista m hmm, edge and then the two Shawn michaels Is and then blached twice and then see him punk was the last one before rock Lesner broke it.

48:17 Yeah, it's that second half of the street that's good. That first half true. Come on, man, you're telling me that Diesel wasn't over enough. You go watch the match. You know why this match was bad. I can already tell why this match was bad. It's clocked in at sixteen minutes and forty six seconds, which is exactly just ten minutes too long, exactly right. He beat Giant Gonzalez by disqualification. That let that sinking right, Like y'all complain about stuff now, boy, y'alldie. Now, I can only imagine social media back in the nineties, man, boy, y'all like real thought, y'all man about Cody Now, you should have seen us at Russellmania nine. Pore boy, I could only imagine social media back dude, boy, that would have been crazy, like oh my god, or Russell Media eight. I can hear everybody into it. What is holding main event? Why the world title not main event? I could feel it like, oh my goodness, Like, well, bro, this is look at the cover. Look, first of all, how Cogan beat Suggice and that was your main event, and that was eighteen minutes. You had Randy

49:47 Savage and Rick Flair earlier in the show twenty five minutes. That should have been the main event. I don't care. That was for the actual title. That was for the actual da that Shi was banging. Oh, Coogan said, justice was just because Hogan. That's crazy. Yeah, it was because it was a grudge match. Oh my god, like psycho Sid like Sid calls Hogan the belt at the Royal Rumble. That's the only reason Flair even won the belt. He was mad. And then right when there was about to decide who's in number one contender, because back then we didn't have number one contender matches. We have a commissioner, he just said, m I pick you men, No, so be Pete Hogan, which further made said man. And then that was it and now we gotta match. It's just miss when dude had to be an event because that was the ultimate Warrior comeback event, which was low key like one of the greatest Wrestlemanian moments ever when when when the Warrior came back and WrestleMania eight. So we had to put that in the main event for it where it to happen, you know, like it only makes sense because you can't returns. But we had social media backman, boy, y'all would have killed that ship, wouldn't killed dad

51:19 like man like like kids too, I'm real like kids today, y'all think like w W E A E W was something man w the b in the WWE versus w c W war like we truly needed social media, Batman because it was hi y'all with him and out y'all fucking minds be it like y'all complain about the bloodline. Oh y'all never looked at the nWo like you mean, Heart's best faction of all time, boy, like all co can win and everything with interference, Oh bitch, like y'all ain't seen nothing like y'all like nothing, this is tame, tame. He caught Solo was the only one bad. Like y'all only got to worry about three people. Try way about fifteen, hey, right, try worrying about and not even just nobody's note neither like Razor Ramone and shit, like you got to look over your should and see if Dennis Robbing of all people about to fuck you up, Like dude, Oh my gosh, Um, I still can't. But I will never forgive Rousseau and company for letting Brett Hart, not like letting him join the nWo. Stupid well, he came over. He should have been

52:49 thwarting them, That's what he should have been doing. But Sting had to do it and that took forever. Um before we leave this the longest, the longest, um, the longest Undertaker match? Ah, you too, all right? The longest Undertaker match of all time at WrestleMania was thirty minutes and fifty seconds and that was against Triple H the second time at WrestleMania twenty eight. I believe because that ship was drawn out of his tail. That was their hell in a cell match with Sean with Sean is the is the special referee up? Yeah? That was that bulls the snowfall end of an era, the click, the click two point send off at the end.

53:44 Right. The crazy part is is like Triple H is so petty that this match is six seconds longer than the match than Shawn Michaels and Undertaker Number one arguably the better of the two, but like that's crazy. Oh my goodness, um, last one for you, Um, I left thinking because of the going back to kind of what we're talking about with Bobby Lashley, m would you have been happy if Bray Wyatt was on this card? No, Okay, I'm I'm low key happy because I feel like that match would have been some bullshit anyway. It would have been. Yeah, yeah, it would have been like a Turbo tax sponsors this insect match. You're like, what the okay, turbo text brings you the tables match, Like I'm like, okay, Like I guess right, I'm I'm good. Like after the first interaction with him and Uncle Howdy and all that shit, I was already like this thing don't go well, bro, like the scary movie effect.

55:01 Man, it's the scary don't work like he see why Rocks said Nope, I don't want no shit is crazy built for stuff like that, like his his persona don't need to be an a cookie shit like this, Like that's what I'm saying, Yeah, exactly, Like if you're one of the big beefy guys, like don't very why it's gonna kill you, like very why it should be torturing the mid card guys all right, like that kind of like psychic psychic warfare, Like that's why it worked so well with La Night, not only was he willing to do it, like it's more believable.

55:43 Meanwhile, like with dudes like Brock or even when Roman beat the Fiend, I was like, yeah, that's what's supposed to happen. He's Roman reigns, he's a superhero. Well, do you think we're gonna break these belts up? Because at this point, I don't know. I don't know. I think that that's That's another one of the many questions we have that could be solved either tomorrow or Friday. Oh what if they broke the belts up? And then okay, let me ask this question. Let's say they break the belts up. Right, if Coldy won the belt, Dad, way, that would be so disingenuous. That would be a slap in the face.

56:28 But you got the but you got the heavyweight championship, Like you don't get that, you're not the universal champion. You're you did it. You got your dad's you got the belt your dad never did right, Yeah, yeah, he's like, yeah, thanks, I didn't beat Roman at WrestleMania. I won a tournament for it on the raw after I mean, like, yeah, I pinned otis to get it, so thanks, You're welcome. Tournaments are great, like I did kind of was like, damn, Cody, like you're really just gonna hold your kid like right now, you're dragging it out that way. Man. I knew something was up when they when they zoomed in, he's holding his baby and he's waving to the crowd.

57:15 I was like, oh nah, he about to lose because they are doing too much, like they're doing the most right now. We didn't need all that. Yeah, we definitely didn't need all that. They were pushing that real thick like great baby face, the great father. Look at him hugging his baby. I'm like, oh shit, yeah, that's when we need it happens. That means you're taking that ale, my boy, take that ale like he's like enjoyed, enjoy the daddy time while you got it. Because losing at the end of the day, um go dude, that would be the worst. Oh yeah, something else planned. I't have something.

58:02 It was really epic, like I can't even frank, like, no, come on, man, this was it. This wasn't this that main event was awesome. It really was. It was like, you know what this reminds me of, honestly and truly, what is it WrestleMania x seven No, when it do, it reminds me that even down to the ending, because we hated the fact that Austin aligned with McMahon. We hated that ship, all right, that was that was your hero, right, and everybody said from that moment knowing that fucked up Austin, right, he never reported that. He it was hard for him to get back to we might it's what time I'm gonna see. I were gonna say the same thing about Cody Rosen about six months because that's the vibes. It gives me like this was low key. This was really a great mania, right with an ending that just leaves everybody like, wait, what the fuck? Guess I guess you're right. I guess you're right. And now it's like they turned their biggest baby face heel, we just had our biggest baby face loose. You know what I think? You know what I think? And I was gonna ask you this this was I remember, that's gonna ask you, Um, do you think it'll take the Lex Express to get Tody Rhodes his championship with this American aesthetic? What do you think let's not let's not go there far.

59:36 That shit didn't work for Luga either. Let's remember that ship. It did not work like real tal I was on Instagram earlier and somebody posted the video of the time where they entered where they shot um. They shot a segment with Luger as the world champion. Oh my god, what I never like a legit shit at the house show. It was they filmed it because they were planning on Lugar winning the belt and they shot it and they shot it and it was like the crowd was just like, huh yeah, it was right, but it's like to see that and then it's like, huh, I hope they didn't. You know Cody videos, We're like, oh shit, that's fucked up, so very serious, like that's crazy, but you know what, it's crazy. At least Luga won his title match.

1:00:31 She just didn't get the belt. Like, like, I was like, is it sick of me that I was hoping they were gonna do like a dusty finish. I was so hoping when Solo came back out, the referee would have saw him and be like, you know what, fuck this dq ight, it's over that you win you win. But oh right, man, I would have Oh I would have paid so much money for that, because y'all would have truly melted thing. Make a way by DQ man.

1:01:13 Like look, I'm just saying, like, overall, overall, I thought this Grant Mania was great. I really did. I was sports entertained thoroughly the majority of the show. And that's all I really want at the end of the day. I think that's all what we all want at the end of the day. But I mean, Monday's gonna be telling us a lot more. I feel like it doesn't We're not done with the dominic thing. We've established that Cody's gonna find a way to redeem himself. But you know what I'm saying, So we'll find out. Javan, I appreciate you hopping on with me for this quick, this quick little thing and stuff. I'll let you get going, um, but thank you, thank you for helping out. And of course you know we'll be seeing you on the next one.

1:02:00 Oh yeah, definitely, because Monday night gonna be crazy. I'm the hell that's gonna break loose for three hours. Jay White coming in, I'm telling you, I feel it. Oh man, if he could man and what if he has shown up at Russell Aniel like that would for us, but I don't know. I don't know if he's there yet. So but anyway, man, like I said, thank you so much um for coming on and everything, and um, I don't know for recording on Thursday, but we'll be back at least within the next few days, like ten days or so. Oh oh good. That gives us some time for the whole world to evaporate to see what's going to happen. Right, Oh man, how how does Tony conn come back this? I want to hear what this announcement is. It's better be good because depending on what the depending on what the announcement is, we may we might record on day I don't know, Like it's it's in Tony's hands. Yeah, Like that's I forgot this.

1:03:05 This Dynamite is gonna be a big one too, because this is the one with um FTR challenge for the titles, right yeah, so we get to see what's happening with them because if they lose, they're supposed to leave. Aw let's see if that happens. I mean, I don't know, I don't know. Dax did just tweet about see him punk again, So who knows. Man just suck his dick already. Goddamn, Like he's in love with seeing him unk. I mean, like I get being in love with Brett Hart because I saw the picture with him and Brett. I get that. I mean, it's Brett Hart, right, well, shout out to Shout out to Brett, his black wife. He's all forever invited to the cook out. That was a question before, Like come on now Hart coming through.
