4:16 is here? We're here to settle some beef and talk about some rumblings. So it's gonna be fun m sword fights. So let's let's let's take it back a couple of years and let's talk about Do you remember how we met? I do not. You were talking shit, that's that's how right me absolutely um, and I told you we could throw hands at the scope we came, we could fight. Huh where were you? I was there? Probably I was there, Like, but you ain't show up. There's a lot of people lines COVID. That was the whole thing, that restriction. I'm just saying, you seem a little scared. You know, if you want to get your ass kicked by five point six gay dude, you know, I mean, we can prefer to get my ass kicked. Actually, so okay, right, we can make that happen, sir. All right, Well next time, next time it happens like monster jam, I don't give a fuck what. We'll meet up. We'll make something happen. So so, mister Bird, tell us about yourself. Tell tell the hardest part of the ring, About the Apron Bump, the hardest part of the ring.

5:25 Well, first of all, thank you guys for having me. It's a pleasure to be on here. Ben your guys show the hardest part of earth Apron Bump. I see how even I'm getting confused. Uh. The Apron Bump podcast mainly a retro wrestling podcast. I start kind of started out doing current stuff, kind of like you guys do. Um, but I was already kind of watching retro stuff just for you know, just for fun. So I was like, oh, let's make some content out of it, and it's progressed to where I'm covering all these different timelines, all sorts of different companies and stuff like that, TNA Ring of Honor, the Monday Night War is all that stuff. So it's been a good on. It's been a good time. How long I've been in the game. Uh, it was like night end of nineteen So what is that? Over three years?

6:09 Over three years so not too long. It's like I feel like a lot of people, like when COVID started, or like when AW started, I feel like that prompted a lot of people to start a podcast. So it was kind of around that same time period. Yeah, we already started our podcast because Jake needed a senior project for college. So we don't have a dramatic story, right, this, this hodgepodg of bullshit just came off of a senior project. And it's still on that level to a certain extent. Oh no, you guys are a very professional show. Very professional. Yeah, yes, at least it sounds professional, you know, thank you. Yeah, we breathed professionalism around here. I want to go that far right, I mean, Jake looked like he just rolled out a bid bit. You think this is professional place? So it's good. Looks like he rolled out of bed every day, like every time I see him. It don't matter. It could be fucking three o'clock in the day. He just he looks like that. That's how he looks. Here we go, Hollywood man, exactly. You know, no, all right, now, I'm I'm I'm on assignment. You know, Joaquin Phoenix style. You don't even know me at this point, you know, like that's how it goes.

7:14 Okay, Well, let's let's get down to business, gentlemen. We have to talk about some rumblings, right, So the first question I'm gonna just throw out there to everybody, were you sports entertained? Yes or no? Yes? Yeah, that was sports entertained yep. Okay, let's get into it. Highlight of the Night, Pitch black patch. Oh shit, Oh I thought that said highlighter of the night. No, that's probably not. That's La Night, La Night. Oh damn, the joker's right there, La Highlight. That was something though, it was something. It was very interesting. Let's we just turned it down. Let's stop there. So the wwe really gave it to us with a whole bunch of like branding and glow sticks. And I feel like we just went back in time to fucking Jake's SpongeBob raid what raid last week? But we got the How was that?

8:13 I almost went real? Jake? How was it? It was fucking awesome? It was so great. We had a great go ahead and tell go ahead, and tell Kyle go ahead. And we dressed up in white collared shirts and red ties and wore shorts and twenty degree weather. It was great. And then and then a friend of ours gave me a little gave us a couple whiffs of poppers and didn't experience that before, and then, uh, you know what. Otherwise it was a great time. I mean, well, I shouldn't even say that, because the poppers were fine too. Everything was great. And then we had eyehop at five am, and I was like, I kind of getting old now. I don't know if I can keep doing eyehop at five am, but every once in a while, M yeah, interesting, interesting, oh man, and button down shirts doing poppers, you know what I mean? Like, I can't they've ever done poppers before. But I wasn't afraid to go to the bathroom by myself.

9:07 So we were in a good Let me tell y'all, something, ain't nobody gay, ain't nobody out here doing poppers? Okay, evidently you're wrong, Like, apparently you're wrong. It's never too late. My roommate and my roommate. It's the same situation. Jesus Christ, white people. So um. The best part of the lights out match was the ending. To me, uh, everything in between was a little weird. H I didn't understand the whole, like, let's break this desk and then it just like sparkles everywhere like a pinata. I was like, I think I think that was the pop They had popcorn on the announced table. I think that's what ended up that I didn't catch because I rewatched some stuff after the fact, and there was I don't know why. There was probably just for that associate, glowing confetti all over the place, but I think it was popcorn. Yeah.

10:03 It struck me as weird too, because yeah, right, it was just random. Let's ask a person that's usually high when he's watching things, Joy, how did it affect you? I didn't even watch that ship, so let's go ahead. He tuned out a long time ago. Yeah, I drew that line a long time ago. I just know Jeff Hardy jumped off some ship that's all I got. Jeff Hardy he won't he won't. Oh, I don't know. Somebody jumped who the fuck jump off Hardy? There? I figured it was Jeff was not a Hardy that that was the country rap star. I was trying to figure what genre he was, because it was I skipped that ship too, Like, madam, you didn't miss much. When din't peacock start charging? Like interesting? Like cock? Apparently you don't get peacock for free cocks anymore? Oh? Really? Yeah?

11:03 They charge your whole eight bucks to get it at free. I'm like, um, I'll watched the as girl. Yeah. I took the four ninety nine with ads. I'm like, this is fine. I wish it was free ninety nine. Who are you telling? I got no time for ads? Those extra four dollars? Yeahs, breeze right through it. Are you rich? You just throwing out ducats like like that? I got quarters everywhere? Man, Let me tell you, Oh shit, change man, that's awesome. Are you guys even committed to Ray Wyatt still? Or like, are we done? Or how do we feel? I'm glad you asked that question because in my notes I have literally written here and said for both people.

11:46 Where do we go from here? Like what happens on Friday? Like does it you know what I mean? Like does La Night just get a hard reset or does bray Wyatt and pursue more of an Alexo route? Like what do we do? Yeah? I mean do they drag it out to WrestleMania and a rematch of sorts? I don't think I want that. I don't either, But and I like La Night, Like that's the craziest part. Look, La I got this moment. It was great. Um, you know he'll go back to the back of the line. Um, maybe he can get um, you know, go for the game, the communal title or something. I don't know, somebody's got to fight gun there. We'll get there. But like, right, something got to be next now, right, we gotta progress this ship forward with bray Wyret. Just what's the end game? Yeah, it's a it's a hard puzzle to piece together because we still don't know Harper, Like, it's it's a lot very slow, very slow. Howdy not Harper. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Well, there weren't they like trademark Uncle Harper or something. I thought I read that too, and I was like Oh cool, that'd be a cool Oh yeah, probably again. No, everybody danced around a question, Aboudy answered it. Do y'all care about Bray Wyatt? No? Not not at the moment, not really. He just doesn't like his story. He's like an interesting character and I could applaud him for bringing something different to the table.

13:11 It just never translates to an entertaining conclusion or an entertaining match to me, Really, did you not? Did you not like the Firefly Funhouse match back at WrestleMania That was okay? I mean he I mean broken clock is right twice a day, Like the Firefly Funhouse was good. Um, the stuff with the Shield and the Wyatt family was good. He's had little glimpses of greatness throughout his run, but I think the majority of his stuff and I'm like the stuff with Goldberg, the stuff with braunch Stroman, the stuff with um whatever else he's done, Like, I don't know, man, at this point, I'm like, I'm not throwing it, you know, in the trash, but I'm not like super invested to see what happens next personally.

13:56 But you and Javan is old school, like Crondosseur is arrest the Undertaker won't ship when he first stopped art it right, Wait, nah, Undertake was better than m Nah. Undertaker was better than bray Wide when he started like Undertaker to be fair, though his matches weren't that good for the most part, the Undertaker it weren't. But I just think the progression and the storyline with him where it's just like it just let him come in fuck everybody up for a year and it was like, I take the Taluel. It was like, okay, bet. From that point we kind of knew what the Undertaker was and then they just kept doing He kind of stayed in a lane where it won't too goofy so much, where it's bray Wide is just like his ship starts good, then it gets goofy and then we don't know where the fucking it just goes off the rails to some ship. Then we don't know what the fuck's going on. Whether it was like the hell in the Cell was set Rollins, that ship was good until that match everything that ended everything. It just seems like every time here's he gets going and the story gets good, and then when it comes time for him to have a match of any sword that's when that ship goes completely off the rails. It's almost like they try to do way too much instead of just keeping temple.

15:26 We didn't need all this ship. They could have kept the lights one fall this. Yeah right, I'm good, Like I mean, Bray Wide to me hasn't really been good since the Hawaiian Shirt by wire Like I like that. Like that that character was devious enough to kind of grab my attention, and I really wish it was like a super like slow like burn with him for me, he just ping pong like, so he went from that to the Fiend, right was it something in between? It was like the stuff with Matt hardy Um. I don't know what you call that. It was like, yeah, not Hawaiian Shirt Bray, but it was still kind of the same character, right, Like so he just ping pong from character the character. So when I got to The Fiend, I'm just like, what, like what happened? Did you? Just where's the story? And apparently there is a story. He was listening to m and speak. I think it was about two weeks ago. He was on someone's podcast, I can't remember, but he was speaking about the evolution of Bray Wyatt and and the evolution of the character. So apparently all of this is like a continuous story that's gonna all of a suddenly just climax and bust in our face. I like that. I like that all just boom right there. Wow. Yeah, I think, yeah, I think what Javon said. I think a lot of times they just tried too much. Like sometimes it's just it could

16:59 be simple as a lot, as long as he keeps winning, but also stays away from like the world title picture, because I think that hurt the fee into it just fucking around the titles too much and flip flopping, and because he doesn't need it, like he's a character that can be off to the side, Like his character kind of allows storylines to form around that. So as long as he stays credible, stays away from the title picture, and the stories actually progress, it's culminating into something rather than just open ended spooky nonsense. I think it'll be fine in time, But for a now, I'm kind of not hesitant, but I mean, yeah, I guess kind of hesitant. Jacoby, did you have anything to add on to that before I say the next thing? And I'm about to say no, I just if I had to add one thing. I would just say that that happens a lot when there are too many cooks in the kitchen, and notoriously that's creative in WW. But they spent money on a horror rider, Like what do you mean, Okay, there's a there's a horror rider there.

17:56 He's right, like right now, many of the elm Street movies are good, Like because you call yourself a horror writers, I mean you're good at it. They also got comedy writers on the team. And how much stuff is funny? So we have all the comedy here because we have Jake. He's a joke. Oh dear, oh dear, Mike went out or the audio went out, but whatever. Speaking of jokes, uh La, Knight's career is a joke in WWE. I can't argue with that one. It's very sad. I gets fine. I think he's fine, he's we We've already discussed this a ton of times, like the name already sets him back minus points. But like now I'm just curious what the heck he does.

18:42 I mean, I've heard catering in ww's actually really good, Like I can confirm that it's no longer barbecue ship, like it's actually like it's not like they're bringing the burger king like a certain company has in the past. Um, they're bringing in like you know, they got like personal chefs and stuff like that. So that's good. If he just wants to chill there, I totally get it, you know what I mean. But at the same time, too, like his potential to is actually greater. I just I don't know, Well, my daddy always told me potentially shit unless you apply it. So we're gonna move on from talking about licking ass nights and we're gonna just take a break to kind of get ourselves together. We'll be right back leading to this fament court from the highest of highs to the lowest of loan. The American Nightmarican staring at the WrestleMania side don't get mortality for dashing to start us to the beta that wrestle the World was trending number one as you see it all the time, and the reason for it is because I felt like this Royal Rumble match was a really good one, like the men's specifically, I thought both were really good, but I like the men's one one was better. Okay, Man's no surprise, by the winner, of

20:14 course, no surprise by the winner Cody Rhodes. Hold on, wait, you said you were surprised. Okay, you want to elaborate more. I'm surprised, Okay, all right. Um, we have various MVPs for the night that I've written down here. Feel free to disagree with me. I had Gunther, Cody, Logan, Paul, and Ricochet as my MVPs, and we'll get into that. Only three surprises for this match, although one of them really isn't specifically for this match, It just happened before it. Logan, Paul Booker, t and Pat McAfee not as an entrant, but as a welcome back as a commentator, And you could tell that they didn't know. And reportedly this is true, Michael and Corey Graves did not know that he was coming back or was even in the building. So uh, Corey Graves's reaction of negativity probably really spot on. Michael Cole was so adorable though, when he like got up to his feet and he's like, what what right? The bromance of the century. I love it. Um.

21:19 We got a bunch of new wrinkles which I want to get into and stuff. But let's get into these questions, Um backtracking. Was Cody the right choice. I'll leave it to you, obviously, Toront has uh, Toront has um. I don't go what I guess. All right, all right, Kyle, how did you feel about the result? It was solid? I mean, like, I don't think it was a surprise, like you said, Um, Going into these it's always like, oh, I wonder if they're going to pull something out that we didn't expect. So it's kind of always like, all right, they did the thing we're all expecting. But um, I mean, he can't fault him for it. I mean it makes sense personally, I think Cody. I mean, no, we'll just have to see how it plays out. I think it's too early for Cody to to challenge Roman. I feel like, yeah, I kind of agree with you, to be honest, especially amongst all the Sammy Zane and all the bloodline stuff. I feel like I'm worried that he's going to be an afterthought Cody. So, but they could do stuff. They could split the titles. They could I mean elimination chamber. I mean, there's rumors that it might be Sammy versus Roman, which it seems like it's going to be that. I mean, it's in Montreal, so I assume it's gonna be something like that. So I don't have a problem with Cody winning.

22:30 I mean I don't know who else. I mean, Sammy would have been only one I would have liked to see win, But they kind of got to the same result, just in a different way. So I'm not hating on that. But um yeah, I mean people were people. I think people had really high expectations. People were expecting the Rocks stolen, Cold Undertaker, the Great College, like, we didn't get that. But I think it's good to you be excited about the people that are on the roster rather than pining for who's not there. So I thought, and it was good. Um gun third getting the spotlight was probably my main takeaway from this. I didn't expect that for him to go from number one to be in the last eliminated. I think he had the most eliminations too. Yes, he clocked in it. Um I didn't believe it was seven, but I can get the right number. And he set the record for the longest run and a thirty man rumble. He had five elimbs on the night and that was the highest. Right he tied Cody Rhodes at five elimbs. Okay, okay, but uh yeah, I mean that does my main takeaways from it, So okay, let me get this straight. H we're excited for Cody to be the Royal Rumble winner? Is that? Is that the consensus both excited as the word I'm gleeful, I'm I'm happy for him. Yeah, I feel like you should be most centtical, like I feel like I feel there's a line fuck this guy right like fuck his wife too, like I mean

24:07 like woman, like I hate her, like I wish she was in the women's rumble. Huh, I said, I wish she was in the women's rumble too. Need to a wasted spots girl like stop and wasn't and we'll get there spots. Look okay, gunter Go and Pillow. The post was really fucking amazing And to me, that was your winner. M why why wait? You know you're gonna get get Cody versus romance that that we're that's a given. You didn't have to play any games to get there. It was very simple, Like you could have found that in the elimination chamber.

24:56 You could have found that in tonight's pro bo on raw, which was actually really good because Tody, because Cody didn't lists at all or spit on anything. So I'm very proud of him. O. Those speech classes are really working. So I mean, hey, I'm a bitch. So the thing is is, I just feel that they wasted while they put Gunther in a great place, they just wasted the opportunity for shock and awe if you didn't have shock and awe with the roster of people that you brought out right, like do it with the wind, stop giving us the obvious. The match was immaculate, like I just enjoyed every piece of it. But the real MDP of wrestling, of wrestling, not wrestling of Royal Rumbull, was the commentary team. Like I have not been so much engaged as I was engaged with those three gentlemen that was doing commentary, like they had found magic there with the three man commentary team. I hate Coy Graves. I think it's mom is a bitch, but that's just me, right. The Pats there, we all love Pat is infectious of course, Yeah, the energy was infectious. I mean their banter, like the ship they were saying in the match, like it just brought me back to a place of nostalgia, and I'm surprised our people that love nostalgia didn't really gripple on to that part more over than the wrestling, Like so, um, I just think the wrong man one. We could have done a thousand different things. I thought the

26:27 match itself was really solid. I love seeing Shamus and m Andrew McIntire together. That was a fun watch. Um, I just don't know what the future looks like outside of Gunther in the WWE, because if you really think about it, half of those guys that was in that match over forty cough cough, Kofi Kingston cough cough, of remarkable saves are over all I'm saying. Is all I'm saying is this is the second year in a row with a botched like moment, and I just want to know, like is this it? Like? Are we done? Like what are we doing? Please?

27:10 For the love of guy, could we stop just bringing the budget of black people down? But he's botched, fucking I'm just trying not to watch him try to kill himself in January every year. I just don't I'm over it. I'm over it. Like it's the best time of the year. January oh, I mean it's pre Black History Month, which here the hardest part of the ring. You celebrate Black History Month from February to what we feel like stopping un till Pride in June. Question, right, we real black over here? That's why I say on my podcast as well. I don't know if Kyle can actually say that, though, No, because Kyle hasn't had feather and Finn, So I don't know. I have had feather and Finn. I just had the chicken there, Okay, but apparently right wait wait, paulse you seem way too white, too well. We recommended it to him. I don't. I don't believe it. I want to see. I didn't go there. I had a door dashed. I would never go to that part of town. Actually, that's actually a joke.

28:18 Bes I actually used to live like right by it, and uh whatever, I made it out alive. So U grant doing right? Is anybody here on cut? Because uh, you know, I'm not so I don't think we can dock. You say you said docking right doing? We're doing all right, don't. I don't know how we're docking. We're just doing it. We'll figure it out. Yeah, you know, they have custom custom stocks. Anyway, Um, so you had the chicken, you did not have the fish. That's that's good. Yeah, well I'll go back and have the fish and report my findings. Okay, because again, if you eat it, I don't If I ain't seen you eat it, I don't believe it. So that needs to be photos of you eating this. I'm gonna take a slow motion video of meeting that a close up and send it to you. I just don't believe like that, that feathering fan is like a place that you've never been like, you know what I mean. It's like a neighborhood you've never been to, like because I just I don't believe it, like a restaurant, and I need to go inside. Maybe that's the I need that. If that happens, I want pictures. Take your wife too. I want it to be a pous No, no, why not if I take her in there? What out? Don't bring your wife?

29:44 Let me tell you something that this to get exposed, exposed to all kinds of ethnic shit. Okay, Like I don't give a fuck my grandma fan him pig feet. Oh okay, so he ate it, Gavar, Come on, now a fuck pigs feed. Question Mark, I'm a nigger. I don't even eat. That's disgusting, you, Jake, Like there's there's lines you draw for family. That's the line all that you. I would have told you you toryn I didn't make him eat it. That's it's my grandma. Y'all know. My Grandma's sweetest person on the planet. She's I love I love your grandma. Why do you let that happen? You know how terrible pigs it is? Why you set your husband up like that?

30:33 Look this is me. It was hilarious, okay, Like look looking at his white pillage, just melt away as he ate the gigs me. Okay boy, his ancestors rolling over in their grade, right, Yeah, too much going on? All I'm said, you can't whip them, So make him eat pig feed? Fuck it? Well, kind of like eating pigs feed. We have of what's left for Gunther because after this match, that all right, professional, But after this match, everybody else seems to have a direction except for him. So champion man, okay, great, great pick a mid carter the wrestle I guess at WrestleMania, I guess, I mean, honestly, it should be Ricochet because he's the only one I have here. It really doesn't have anything going on that I could see the challenge for that belt. There's an easy there's an easy match you could give him. What don't tell me it's that triple threat match with brock Lessner and Bobby Last. I want to see those two beat the shit out of each other by the way I thought they put him in there. But I would not be opposed to a trip with threat with him Drew and Shamous, I oppose that. Or if you really want to keep your fucking just and just give gum for all the flowers and put that in again there with Logan Paul, well, they don't beat Look, they don't beat Logan Paul asks a little bad wrestle. I had Lady Joy, I had Logan Paul and Seth

32:04 Rollins as a potential wrestling that's going to happen just because he eliminated Seth. But and Seth's not really doing anything either after he did just contend. He did just win his way into the to the United States Championship elimination chamber. So there's yeah, that's what that's what this is this year. It is for the US title. Austin theory is defending and so far I don't know what happened since, but before we started recording seth Rollins had won his way in by pinning Gable. Please no, no, no, wait, say what you're feeling right now? So tell me the feeling. Your face is telling me everything. See how you feel? They just need to throw that Elimination Chamber in the trash, man. I mean, it's just, first of all, I hate that they have a pay per view that's called elimination Chamber. They should bring that out when they need it, because it gives you situations like this, gives you situations like this where it's like, oh fuck, it's February, we need elimination Chamber. Uh, but we already have a WrestleMania match set, So well what we do? Oh, I guess the US title. It's just like shoe horned it in where it doesn't really make sense. Like I'm all for making the US title feel meaningful.

33:14 So it's fine, and I'm sure it'll be a fun match, but man, it's interest So screw that. Okay, Okay, So Charlotte, Yes, I was about to get to that. When we get to the lions. Fine, put a pin in that. Put a pin in that, because we are going to come. I don't hate that. Actually, yeah, but I don't hate that either. Um what else we got here? So another a dominicant mysterio. I was thank you you were on the same wavelengker. A kid's a piece of shit, Michael Cole all the night. It's a big because he was amazing, Like think about it like that. Okay, we were talking about earlier about how family doesn't let family eat pigs feet, like he didn't even let his dad compete in the royal rumble, like this is crazy, good good, and well he did struggle trying to rip that mask, so the duct points. But overall and he was the he was the last member of Judgment day, last man remaining. I mean, the dude, I can't deny it. Like, yes, he's a dork whatever, but like he gets heat, like he knows his job and he does it really well. Let's talk about him using some steroids. Okay, like look, this is me, okay, like why is everybody looking at me like I'm crazy? I'm listening, Like go ahead, brother, go ahead to take that shot now. But so your ankles can swall up a little bit because he is real, like Jacob fucked him up. Like

34:45 for real, Jay could throw her hands with Dominant cereal and literally fuck that kid up, and like Riha shows up and then she fucks me and then that's a problem, Like I mean, might like it, who knows, Like you know what I mean, like explore your kings anyway? There for reason, you were just doing poppers, Okay, Like that's all I'm saying. That's the first step. That's the gateway drug, that's the gateway. Next thing, you know, you got your hands on your knees. No, next, next thing, you know, I'm Lars Sullivan right, next thing, right exactly? You are gay for pay? Right yea? Yeah? So but for im, there's really in between. Just no you just you just gay or you're gay for pay. That's the line. So he Kyle is never coming here again, so I uh, but no, for real, like the boy need to find a way to beef fuck. I think if you beefed up a little bit, like I could take him seriously.

35:44 I think though, because he is a dork. But I think they're leaning into that though. I think his whole character is premised on him being the slimy guy that shouldn't be there. And it's just because even in the rumble, like his boys were helping him, and that they were that was the only reason that you lasted so long. I think the fact that he's such a scrawny douchebag is kind of his character. I think if he bolked up and just be another guy. Yeah, I just don't like how they try to put the Mexicans in a game. That's just me okay, Like you mean, then Balor's hell of Mexican since when I mean he wearing that band down like he is. You know, Ireland is Mexico of Europe, right, and he talked about all this swag. I can't. All I'm saying is it's kind of like he's not even the leader no more. It's like it's Rein Dominic and then the other two are just there. When't that sex take coming out? Because I'm trying to see who bottom it? Oh, we already know he was in prison for a day, Like Jabar, you were saying something if I make if I can make a note about Judgment day, hold on, hold on, because I made a couple of notes about the Royal rumble and judgment Day was one of them. He's so disappointed.

36:53 I love it. I took notes. Um let's see, yes, okay, Damian Priest, right, I'm gonna need you to fix that hair. My boy out here looking like Brittany Grinder. I can't rock that shit. I'll tell you welcome back. I'm sorry. He needs to fix that hair like he like a grown ass woman out there. Nah, fix that shit. It's a lot going on. It's a lot going it is, like yo, like that that the note, Look, that was a that was what he did in the match. It's that hair. He came out there looking like a straight stud and I need him to fix that. The note is that the La Sparks need him right, like he needed to be getting that w NBA money At this point outside of the obvious, right, we know who we really enjoy, But who was the like the like I don't want to the black sheep. Who was the hitting gym in the Royal Rumble to you? M hmm, yeah, like I asked, already talked about Tom, We already talked about you already talked about it. I'll say the Banger Brothers because they're still running it. In the beginning they're a little running the beginning. Yeah, it was pretty fucking good, like Logan Paul.

38:28 Perhaps I was going to suggest Logan Paul as well. Had he kept a couple of good moments like bucking up with braun Stroman And he looked like he belonged in there. That's the thing. Yeah, exactly, he's got the natural instincts. It's just it's pretty impressive. And he's a heel now, thank god, thank god. And he listens, you can tell that he's Is it Sean Michaels. Who's behind him? Sean Michaels, Yeah, who else? I can't remember either. It was three people working on his Michaels at the working on this rework, somebody working on his mic skills. Well, who needs mike? Was it? Was it? Old boy there? Um okay, it was Jamie Noble. That's who I was thinking of.

39:10 Oh the Bullock, goddamn it. Pull Sorry, So let's talk about let's before we move on to the next uh segment here, let's talk about who I would smash in a royal rumble, and I would smash carrying a cross? You watch? No? What what we come so far in a year and a half, good is it the hair for you? I knew, I knew that's all it needed with some hair. I knew it. Like I would smash. I'm sorry, Like y'all can be mad all you want to, Like I would smash. It's just you know, it's the dark skin and it's the hair. But you know, tattoos pretty awesome entrance.

39:54 Can't deny that, right, like the tattoos yep, like triple threat, Like I'm good, like you know what I mean? Smashable um Unsmashable is chad Gable because he looks like one of my exes. So that'll do it, right, Yeah, just looking at that. Nope, I've really done charity America. Like just understand I've done a lot, a lot of charity, jeesus, not a lot, A lot cheese a lot. Why what have I done charity? Yes? Right, I mean I might just would be like I don't know, Saint Jus, like it's a lot of charity. Rise. Yeah, before we transfer over, I have a joke.

40:43 What do me and brock Lesner have in common? We both lasted two minutes and twenty eight seconds. Do you notice how the white people just it's like sex, It's just what I'm going becomes fast man. That's what it was. That's good stuff. And then we're moving on. Oh wait, wait, I have another note about the rumble that I took. Okay, okay, who who? Who else didn't dress to him press? Oh no, this isn't about dressed this time. Um, who the fuck changed Johnny Gardan those music? How long has this? I didn't notice this ship because this is trash. That's not that's dope. Shut up, it's terrible.

41:30 It's not rebel Hard. I'll take you rebel Hard. It's just a different it's just a different singer. Bring her back. It's it's a man singing rebel Hart. Right, that's not making my panties wet him. I got another note. Let's see, I'm okay, oh this I missed that fucking over. I don't know why, but when he he came out as baby face old this was doing the Caterpillar and everything. I missed that fucking ODIs. Like everybody loves that ODIs. It's nuts. Yeah, Like it was nice to see that ship. You know what I missed? You know what?

42:12 I missed his neck? Okay, like where's that? Like? Also, let's just ask who fucks him like in real life, like who actually watches him undressed and lays down with him and actually had sex Tucky And that's why, Yeah, it's all good, Like it's okay. I like miss Otis. I think I feel like he was like three inches taller. He would be. He could be like a huge monster, right, like bron Stroman but like people like him. Yeah, there's the dick jokes somewhere in there. I just can't pull it out right, he just did. Do you think do you think that otis paid to watch the Mandy Rose video?

43:00 Um? No, he has a free subscription. They're real like it better and like you know how much money he gave her, like you not gave her, but you didn't how much money they earned together while they were drawing a bitch paw you go watch look at my pussy. You pay for that? Ar who you are? Who could be married? I mean you're still paying for it premium. This is why miss Page, she can't away for free. A saint exactly. She did more of a saint than to Rono. Man, oh, this can't be watching that ship man that come on man? Nope, oh goodness, all right, let's he can't be watched. Ain't she fucking her boyfriend up there too? Yes, that's the whole continent she got. Can let's uh, let's take a quick break and then when we come back, we'll talk about the women's royal rumbleman. Oh no, no, no, But not only did she or number one suffer their spear if they had to pet Phoenix before the spet cheek started. So guess our big takeaway from tonight should be who has Lemania big trouble? Because Ria Rippling. It's a genuine badass and a Wrestlemdiam made a ventor. Okay, America, we're back and and as usual, there's Tomfoolery on the b roll.

44:29 We're bringing the b roll to the eight roll. Okay, and we're talking about how all of my friends, all of you motherfuckers that listen to the show and watch it, y'all know who you are. We've done this ver before. You don't wash your feet, get an ask feet, y'all. Let the soap run off your body and run down to your fee. Say you watch that is not in the washing zone for you, right, which is disgusting. Two of them have just admittedly said it out loud. Two people of lighter skin, right, have just admitted that they don't do it? Does it work? Why did y'all do it? Does it work?

45:12 Because it's so like, well, what the fuck? That can shave a couple of minutes off my shower time? What I have no difference? How much time do you dedicate to you cleaning your legs? Kyle? Like? Are you fucking it's your body? You The soap gets you get like I get the armpits, the face, the chestel area. Yo, runs down. I got my lufa. You know what I mean. I'm just come down clean your legs. The soap comes down to your feet, right your feet, the water hits it is like washing it exactly. What is not like washing it that I get the grundle area, I get my bathing suit square, I got clean all of that, and it's it's basically a leg to the top of the leg. I clean boom. This is too fucking much like I don't. It's nasty, quickest shower of your life.

46:06 No one has said my legs smell bad. Yeah, nobody's ever made complain about my ask don't ask your wife the snippet. You're may to go out there and hey, hey, can you go skim sniff my leg? Please? Absolutely crazy your wife listen and look at this show. She would be like, you could not hang out with these people. I guarantee you she didn't clean her legs either. She's also white. Just wait, whiter than I am. Boom there you good? Well she's for full on Norwegian. Oh shit, Oh no, no, smart don't clean her legs neither. No, she probably cleaned her legs, but I know she cleaned her den guess women the lotion and all that shit, right right wait wait wait wait yeah, motherfuckers don't use lotion. Whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

46:58 I am a jergen freaking member. Okay, okay, okay. I used Ocean all the time because I was roasted through high school. Yeah, Jurgens, because I had actually has fuck hands come to wintertime, so I had to be on that ship because I was roasted almost every day. You went to a black high school, I went to Kellum Kellum is like no, I went to Kellum my rest of my friends with ol but I was on the basketball team, so like, I got all the time. Ye, I must not get a white school if he's on the basketball team. We actually were a predominantly white basketball team. I would guess so. But we won districts every year I was there anyway, somebody, somebody paid you to win districts anyway, So, um, disgusting. It makes me very upset. Y'all all. Really, y'all disgusted me, all of you, the whole lot of you. I have naturally smooth skin. One day, I'm gonna make you feel my arms if y'all smooth they are, it's just naturally smooth. That's a flex. Yeah, I'm thirty percent Filipino, and that's the Filipino coming out. It's just I'm pretty hairless too. I don't know if you can see, but I'm I'm a smooth boy. There you go that first of all, Okay, I'm I am not going to attacks right I I my attack was coming like it's in here. I was like Kyle, it's Kyle's first time here, and I do want to come back.

48:28 I'm not gonna verbally assassinate it. No, please, please don't hold back on my account. No, Kyle, Like I'm an adult, I like to show restraint at times, like you know what I mean. Um, So I am showing restraint right now. Um and if you ask Javarn and Jake for some reason, since you have Filipino and you do or any type of like like I don't know Asian descent or anything, I don't like you thirty percent of who you are because they say I don't like Asian people. Oh yeah that's right, yeah he um yeah, yeah, he's a shackamoor A fan, so he obviously hate Japanese people included all Asian people. Thrue. I like, she just get knockam more cake. I like, okay, like Jex's because I don't like the ones that you like. Thought me, I'm racist. We were like, hey, Okada match really good.

49:21 Toronto was like Forbidden Door sucked. I was like, I bet you didn't like some Forbidden Door for other reasons. Oh boy, so you mentioned Oscar earlier. That's a fantastic transition to the women's were a rumble match winner Rhea Ripley, mommy for the women, give me a break. This one was. I thought this one was good. I was. I was pleased, sports entertained from start to finish. As we know, this is a slight brag for me um our last show. I was making the case for Live Morgan. She was the last person eliminated, so shout out to me. And she was also the number two entry in the Royal Rumble thing I remember about Live Morgan. She had chains on her titties. What's wrong with that? What is wrong with the not exactly? So did bron I think bray Wyatt also had chains on his titties as well, So so did that Damian priest. Boom, there you go, cha chain on the titty.

50:21 It's a new new wave. I can't So we have some surprise entrance Chelsea Green, Michelle McCool, Roxanne Perez, Zoey Stark, Indy Hartwell and Naya Jack's no diaper. Yes. My MVPs for the night include Rhea Live Oscar Damage Control, Roquel and Zoey Star the whole goddamn rumble. Who woa, whoa, whoa, whoa? Did they all of those women carried? And I don't care what Jivan thinks is Joey start fucking just was mya was literally my like subtle stole the show type. She was tough as shit the entire time. She lasted twenty six minutes, which I didn't expect that to happen.

51:09 Either she was out here beating everyone's ass. Of course, of course she toughest fun because all her life she had to fight, or she's tough. She looked tough like for real, like if I was going to a fight for my life, I'm picking Solway Stock because she gonna fight like a whole dude. I'm saying, put the NXT title on her. That's all I'm saying. Okay, Um, we got some new wrinkles. I felt Becky versus damage control still going on. We found out earlier today, Ja von clue us in h Ripley chose Charlotte Flair? Is that the right choice?

51:52 Is that the wrong choice? How how do we feel? I think it's a weird one given that judgment days on raw, But I guess that doesn't matter now. She well, she do oh Charlotte and Nass whipping, So I agree with that. And she said that in the press conference after the real Rumble that she felt that she had unfinished business with Charlotte and a history with her at at WrestleMania. So it just this actually does make sense. I'm happy that she picked this one, and I do kind of if Charlotte's really doing the face thing. Ria, Ripley and Dominic could really mess with her on the road to WrestleMania too, So that would be kind of fun. Yeah, because that's like the only thing that's holding Ria back in her career. She's dominated everybody except Charlotte pretty much, because I think I don't has she even beaten Charlotte? Never? If she did, it wasn't for a title, right yeah? She Wait? Wait wait, how didn't Charlotte beat somebody for the NX Tachi Was it her she beat for the NXT Championship and then yes, win it back. I'm not mistaken. If she did win it back, it was in a triple threat manage. So Charlotte won it from Maria, I believe, and the EO Sharai won it by penning Ria in a triple threat Matt, So Charlotte never even got pinned to lose it. The patres Who who is EO shari Oh? The genus?

53:08 Yeah? Yeah, the damage control, the one, the one, the one that you don't like. That's my girl, don't That's not what I've been hearing. That doesn't align without what I've been hearing here. Streets say different. The streets he has a track record of loving EO EO Sky now um but everyone else but not Io Shari, even Xiale, even Ziale. He has problems with. First of all, I have problems with zion Lee because she out here with box braids from girl. I have a note. I have a note about Zi Lee. So Javan actually on record is a big Xilee fan. I am, but braids fan apparently one. It's fucked up. They didn't let her take her stick. That was totally unfair.

53:59 They let Elias state that damn dumb ass guitar, but it wouldn't let her have her stick. Nah, equal rights wwe and two yes, the Black Delegation has decided them box braise have got to go. We have all decided it's time let him go. You are here what the box praise are because your auntie run the corner store where you got them from. I don't appreciate that. Okay, she rocks him. Though she rocks him. She she she kind of does. But I can't. I can't accept that, okay. Um. Also what I can't accept, well, let me rewind real quick. So my highlights of the night for the Royal Female Royal Rumble was um. I enjoyed Emma. I did enjoy damage Control, and for some reason, Roxy really caught my eye. Right, she's good. I'm telling you she's good. But the one that really got me, and the thing that really grabbed a my heart strings was Piper. Piper and Nevin and the commentary team hyping her up in so many ways. The dude drop jokes were so on brand. I loved it. I love subtle, very subtle, very subtle. I bet she's gonna drop some people, don't you think I do? Shut up, fucking Corey Graves you But hold on, wait,

55:30 wait, the real MVP. Don't cut me off before I talk about the MVP and the knees. Oh my god, me god, me and Jabar keep telling you when a girl needs look like that, she's about to rock your world. And then I and then I got a double chaste of it with Nia Jack's baby coming back welcome home. Look all both of them, they both of them girls put was so good? Were you thought? In the added turns of sunshine? Like Ja asks m Jamar, we we should just be verried to Mina and I Jacks, Yeah, yep, I'll take the big one. Which one is that like so, I mean, I don't know, I'll just take the big one, whatever that one is.

56:23 But it was just it was a fun match. Um. I enjoyed everything about it. Uh. My favorite sassy moment of the Holding Time deal it is Michelle McCool coming out of the crowd and us. Okay, that's what I could have went without is Lacy Evans that bitch. Okay anyway, next person, dollar story, Michelle McCool, Kyle, how'd you would you what did you think? Would you think? Who stood out to you? Kyle? Family dollar girl? Like family Dollar, I need to do a dollar Tree dollar general. I forgot what? Um, Kyle, who I mean? Zialie? I mean I'm a big Xiale guy, the Kuma teg Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It was fucked up she did. She couldn't bring her staff in there. Um, there's been chairs and bowling balls and rolling royal rumball matches before. It's like, what the fuck? She used to bring back the old woman? That would have that would have set her off, That would have won the whole thing's back in somewhere. Bring back the dragon. That was cool for a minute, that whole gimmick. But Javan made a whole segment over, like a whole segment on that ship with by half a year. Ali chronicles one of the best segments in the show.

57:37 Actually, what's Boa doing? Where did Boa go? Is he still at the company? Hello? Keep him a far away? Uh yeah? The women's were rump who all stuck out. I think they touched on a bunch of them, right, Michel mc cool, I think she could have a full ass run if she wanted to. We say that every year, and she could totally could, totally could. She looked just as good as she ever has. And she was wrestling in ugs, so I mean Malina did it first, but you know this is true, and then she also did like a lot of the locker room. But that's you know, needless to say. I mean, Michel, we got the Undertaker somehow, see here? I mean, yeah, not a lot of surprises, right, it was just Michelle McCool and uh Nya Jacks on top of that. Well, okay, so we do I want to want to talk about this, not to step on you, because we are forgetting Chelsea Green. Chelsea Green was in the match for five seconds because it's five seconds so long, all right, Who cares about what well, no, because guess what, don't we all, me and Javan specifically have talked about this and that's that. Now Cody's the number one contender. Chelsea Green just showed up at the Royal Rumbull.

58:45 Matt Cardona did some nice little patent work with Zach Ryder recently, so maybe we're getting towards this where the raw after Menia, we get Zach Ryder back in WWE. Okay, I'm gonna log off. I got this is crazy. One's clamoring for Zach Ryder. Yeah, definitely. He's one of the most entertaining wrestlers in the indies right now. They could stay in the indies. Oh my god, wow, Kyle, Kyle, thank you. Remember when he showed up in a w and you Everybody was like, oh wait, this guy's not that good. Let's well, let's not sign him.

59:25 Oh my gosh, geez. I mean he was trash in WWE. He could be trash airway he goes because he's trash. Okay, he untold true story. Deal works in the indies because it's like, oh, I'm a w w E guy in the Indies, so it's fun. But now he's back in w W e. If that were to happen, I'd just be like, oh, I'm just another guy with you know, these are crazy. He's Cody's best friend, Like he's gonna get that rub almost. Wait, Cody barely got in the door himself, but he barely got the whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Cody's gotten everything since coming back. What are you talking about? Girl? Like, Okay, I'm so glad about discount Rick Flair, Like, oh, that's what you think. Cody Rhodes is. No, Cody Rhodes is the next Triple h. What does Shane Douglas have to do with us? Don't disrespect Shane Douglas. Oh I assume that's why you're the franchise. I love Shane Douglas. Yeah, I know he won't buy the ECW Championship belt though, not that w W E ship.

1:00:28 Why the fun would I buy that? Oh no, no, not the silver one. I'm talking about the the RVD one, the classic one. I would buy that. Oh would you? I thought you had said please buy the ec W belt. I mean, but it's no. I have the belts that I want old school I see. And then the fucking UK Championship. The dopest belt on the planet, preach thank you? Like no did you say is the best? Is the dopest one on the planet. The U y n xt UK Championship is the dopest belt on the planet, hands down. I agree. I they need to figure out how to like integrate that into what they got now, because that belt is dope as fucked. I think we're getting set for a new belt coming, so we'll see what happens. I'm gonna get set for like a new friend to be on this podcast. I would think, you Von Javon, Uh, what did you think about this women's match? Other than your one note? I should say, Oh, I have other notes. I have plenty of other notes. Where to start. Let's see. Okay, Tiguan knocks your wizard ain't the shiniest fuck you? That's what I have to say to her.

1:01:43 That's like the only note that Michael Cole has about her. He says it all the time, anytime, anytime he's called a match of hers, he always makes that joke in reference. I'm like, you get something else? Yeah? He a hater. He Michael Cole can be a hater, But Michael Cole keep hating top Dollar that shit funniest fuck top dollars. This is Michael Cole. Come to him. He does not miss let's see. Um. Okay, this rumble made me realize Bianca the only black girl left. Damn because I don't remember seeing a black girl in this rumble. She's the only one left. She the only one standing, damn me. Okay, so we got one out of thirty. I you don't consider Naya no okay to me the Samoan Rhonda Rowse, he's there somewhere. But good point.

1:02:44 Okay, we got weight. I got this new like like, oh shit, that was an Xbox controller. Um, I got these new like wheels in my chair barely still thick at fuck. Might as won't be black there, God Mexicans low key comment. I mean like, yuh god, bless that woman, Like I mean the he'll turn and in that ass turn and I'm just like, yes, girl, like r whoa what nothing nothing, let's be um Zelena really small as fuck like this matter Like sometimes it really puts it in perspective how small she really is, because it's like even women we consider the small. She's smaller than domn. Yeah, there are a lot of tall women in the rumble this year though, Like Michelle McCool, Lacy Evans, Naya, that didn't help. But yeah she is. She's weirdly tiny, tee. How'd you like her cost play? Her cosplay was as a fight a fan. I really appreciated dedication to juries, which nobody knew how to say the girl's name Jury's moves. So she did the move, one of Jury's super move moves. She did it, which was actually really cool. Was that the spot with Zia, Yeah, when she lifted

1:04:15 her head up, it was just like kicked her, which I felt it was really disrespectful though, because how are you gonna knock out the master of martial arts with the street fighter move? Like? Okay, w w, I love it. Get your coins? Okay, your coins? I see you girl, Let's see next note. Um oh, Lacy Evans, congratulations they you finally got a gimmick that works. You think this shit actually works? She's a heel. Everybody actually fucking don't like her anyway, Lean into the ship. She's like Evil Sargeant Slaughter now just without the IRAQ bullshit.

1:04:55 I can fuck with that not works like, and she's gonna be a heel. She's gonna really be a heel out here in the street because you know she she wants to be. It works. They just can't if they book her properly. This can work, meaning she can't now go out there and keep losing every match, Like if she just goes out there week out the week and just keeps putting people to sleep with the Cobra clutch, eventually it's like that. It's like with Jay, like, eventually give her some momentum, let her keep beating people, then throw in against against like a Becky or somebody. Let her luck up and win. You got then you got yourself a paper view made a vent few that she can do with um.

1:05:39 I would say Bianca now, but say it's got to be the right one, white one, Yeah, with a face champion, you good to go with her, Like I ain't saying she's gonna be the face of anything, but done properly, she could be incredible. Now heel that another heel that they don't have forever. Okay, fuck out of bullshit. Let's just go to what we really want to talk about. Have you have you looked at her only things yet? That's all I want to know? Have you have you been there to play Evans. Yes, oh, I've been seeing some pictures and you and they ain't bad. She ain't on Manny Rose, but she ain't felt like the Tennies is there? I can Okay, Oh my god, they shows wait wait wait she showing a pus No no, oh okay, all right, I have seen it, right, that's that's good.

1:06:34 I'll call Daddy. We'll figure out she oh, no the power until we find that if sith Lord got any more picks. Never forget, never forget. I'm sorry Kyle again. Just you know, I agree. I concur off the rails as always goes off the rail sometimes, like you know, I just I'm very curious that all these people just be out here shot titties and puss and like getting paid for it. All right, if I if I had to push the show and people want to pay for it. Jake has a puss the show, it's his face and he's still not making the money. Yep. Interesting, Um, he got that bus show that the bussy Papa Papa let it go to work girl like his roommates, well, his roommate bussy probably got blowing out though he was sniffing down. I heard, so, I mean we're talking about the red Yeah, Jake, why would you ever share that with us? Come on through the grape vine, like what the grape you say? Yes, yes, because you know anyways No. Um. Also, like just a quick touch on this,

1:08:06 Bianca and Alexa had a match. It went seven and a half minutes. Bianca won. It really was no contest. And then at the end there was a nice little montage that signals that we might be getting that we're probably getting Alexa turning back into her former glory um with Bray Wyatt and Uncle Howdy in all serious this. Let me sum this up, No one cares. So why I was saying, um, So Bianca is the cross of the champion across the appeal champion of the year to me? Like that ring gear was fire though also another thing, because I know we've been talking about fashion her ring, Bianca's ring gear was fucking was super nice, always right.

1:08:46 That's another thing. Who would y'all give Bianca mania now now that it's no longer Rhea fucking Piper and Evan? Do you give Rhonda for what? And give and just do like the big mega match, So Bianca versus Rhonda Rolson's Rhonda is like the biggest stars there can I do Bianca and Michelle McCool. Does she still even go there? Like I haven't seen her? Yeah, but you know, creative has nothing for her at the moment, right, keep her ass uncreated. Oh, I don't even know who who else could it be? I mean Oscar Oscar could be fun, but I mean, I mean the reaction that Oscar got at the Rumble too was. I mean, everybody is happy to see Oscar, and I don't think that you can do face face like that because those are two mega stars that are faces.

1:09:43 Everybody really honestly truly loves Oscar, like and you saw that just threw out the crowd reaction, Like Oscar can really never do no wrong. Yeah, I mean even when she was here, we were cheering her, like there's just nothing she can do wrong. She just needs to really commit to being like brutal like she's Yeah, of course she's like flamboyant and all that stuff, but I'd like to see her do something to make her truly a heel and then maybe eventually you could build up to her versus Bianca. So before we move on to the last match of the night, Um, just a question for you guys, should the Bianca Alexa Bliss match really been a squash? Like I just felt it was seven minutes too long? Like I feel the same way. But Alexa is still a bigger star on their roster, so you can't just have her get fed like that, especially if they have plans for her and Bray. Like that's just my opinion. Like I do agree that the match is long, like it was bought at WrestleMania, though, Like that's all hey, I mean, we have a long track record of doing this right. Javon's the creative manager. Ask him, um, you know, because kofy to this day, like twenty seconds, that was some of my greatest work. Think, oh my god, Oh a moment that lives forever. Oh happy w w w W e together forever suppressing black

1:11:21 people? Got it? Okay, moving right along, be thankful. All right, let's take it. Let's take a break, and then we come back. We'll talk about the main event. I don't understand what the problem is, y'all know, every time this came returned on and Jake's here, he's gonna get shit on unless somebody less but the only other person to get shit on, just as much as Drake is uh is um what the fuck that said? Drake Jesus uh is Jake is uh? Michael Allan, Richard Clark, I showed him all the time, Yam, I thought you were gonna say Blake, And then I was like, like, why is he even in a promarts? Still, that's all I'm saying. We're just going to put count in it. There you go. There not any picture you want. I'll send you some good ones, especially as his wife set smelling his leg because oh yeah, it's a close up of my follicables in my calf. Oh goodness. All right, So the most dramatic part of the night Kevin Owens versus Roman reigns aka broke back wrestling. That's what it kind of felt like there at the end. Um, I don't know about you, guys, does manage with nineteen minutes in fifteen seconds? Roman reigns one?

1:12:42 Now, I was surprised there there was a lot of fun stuff in this one though. I mean there were some cool spots. There was some shit I had never even seen before, like that spot that Roman does where he throws Kevin Owens on the stairs neck. First, I was cringing. I was like are you serious? Like this is crazy. Um, there were some more emotional moments, right, Sammy's begging Kevin to stay down, you don't have to do this. He gets speared through the barricade brock Lesner style. Also rip that barricade. I believe it got destroyed like twice tonight, like or that night, so you know that props managers. Definitely he getting his money's worth. Like, there was so much that went on, and like now we're finally starting to see the seeds because after the match was over. Also, before I get to that, Kevin Owens had a five count. I counted before realizing the ref wasn't in the ring like had beaten Roman Reigns. But this is a very similar trope that we see in almost every Roman match. Right, refs are made of glass, and now we get to do some fun stuff. Anyway, the meat and potato gets to the end, right, handcuffs Kevin Owens, Paul Hayman has two sets of handcuffs, puts it on there, just start super kicking the shit out of Kevin. I think he took like ten plus and then Roman Reigns has the chair. Sammy Zane gets in front of him. You don't have to do this. It's beneath you. It's beneath you. And Roman's like, well, if it's so beneath me, you'd do it, and he can't do it, and for the second time, Roman reigns falls for it, where

1:14:12 he hands the chair off to a trusting compart and reaps the benefit of a nice steel chair to the back. You'd think you'd learn by now. Think the pop. Everybody goes crazy. I'll give them that. San Antonio was going nuts for that spot. Everybody was like, yes, yes, this is perfect, welcome back, Sammy Zane, we missed you, all this cool stuff. And then that was pretty much short lived because after that just really brutal. I mean, they just start beating the shit out of both of them, specifically Sammy. But the most interesting wrinkle and the entire thing isn't necessarily Sammy leaving. It's the fact that Jay Usso, who at one time despised Sammy Zane but one time sought him as this this conniving person, this this fox in their henhouse, couldn't bring himself to jump his now friend sam musing and instead left and went to the back with a face of just disturbance. He was so disturbed, he was so perturbed, he was so upset, so distraught emotionally, And I thought they conveyed that really well, like the Oscar to me goes to Jayouso. Yeah, that was the most um part. That was the part that I did not expect for sure.

1:15:29 It's it's what has me most curious going forward, because like, how is he gonna It's it's hard to think of him not on the side of his brother and Roman and all that. So right, just to remember he walked there for the first place. He was the one that was defiant from start, right. Roman had to beat him into submission, right ooh girl, like you know and the ethnic assholp is as real. I got some beatings in my life. I still remember the day. Okay, like m rewind, I got a few time out to myself. There we go. I'm sorry. It made me go to my room for you like an hour or so, no TV. It was pretty rough. Oh no, yeah, how long have you been? How long have you been on punishment for ever in your life? Oh? I was never grounded, but I was put on restriction a few times. They were They were for like you know, leaving too many soda cans out and things like that. So right, I was on restrictions last punishment for two years straight. Okay, two old years.

1:16:39 What did you do to deserve it? I can't. I think Actually I took my report card and burned it in the stoves. Well I think, see maybe if some accunifild like, I'm pretty sure that's what I did, like a stove absolutely, okay, right, because hey, I wanted Okay, here's my thought process. I got a D in a class that I said I had to be in the whole time, and I couldn't change the D to a BE like because I was really good at that. Um so I was like, I fucked up. So my young brain was like, if I burn it, nobody will know. How'd that go for you?

1:17:19 I gotta beat you, all right, right? Like right, I gotta beat my ass booked. Okay, But so I don't even know if I want anymore though of this blood line thing. Okay, Hey, the in for me, I'm good, Like, let's move on to the next thing. I'm over it. You don't want to say me versus Roman in Montreal? Okay, the exclamation point is that, but we're at this point, We're like, I beat a dead horse, right, like, we we got a good what seven months out of this? Five six months out of this? Right something like that? What more? What more do we want? Yeah, he's your tribal chief? Yes? Yes? Do you agree with Tehran where you're just kind of at your wits end here? Or do you just think that this is a small splinter and it'll all just be settled in family court? Oh wow, we're waved pastor you know, we waved past that ship. I think we're getting to the end now. Okay, at least I think by like you think Cody's probably after WrestleMania, Okay, I don't think Cody ens it. I think Cody ends, like the championship part of it, But I feel like the story still continues. I

1:18:54 feel like he's outgrown the title. I feel like this story is bigger than the title they're for. I think that. Yeah, yeah, like this ain't even about like the story ain't even about the title. That's the crazy thing. It's really ain't even about the title. Yea personal bullshit can lose the title to Cody, he can still go often and they can still have this story. M hmm. Yeah, maybe they can lose the title till a thousand days though, right, that's true too, which is in like June. Yeah, so Summers Slam. Wait wait wait wait wait wait? You mean he's not losing Both titles are just the universal time at least the Universal. He's going to hold on too. Maybe he'll lose the WW.

1:19:34 But I feel like if he loses, he has to like lose because he hasn't been pinned since twenty nineteen. Like, I feel like it needs to be a big moment when he can't just be like a half fast thing three Crossroads and call it a day. I just I want to go out on a high though on the story, you know what I mean? Like and I just feel like the bloodline story. Yeah, we can go at a different place with it, but I just wrong with the Belts. This whole like melodrama. I just need something else. Now. I've enjoyed it. I just don't wanted to do it so long that it gets stale. Well, I think Roman beat Sammy at Elimination Chamber and then probably beats Cody at WrestleMania, and then I don't know who he loses this too. In my heart, if I if I I know it's probably not gonna happen. I would love to see Imperium and Bloodline go against each other like after WrestleMania, maybe like a Summer Slammish, maybe War Games, Survivor series maybe with either of this. Gunther should be in the championship discussion. And if we learn anything from Royal Rumble, he's seen as that asset, which is that's all triple ags in my opinion, that's literally, I mean he's been triple agious prize dogs since UK so I can take that torch. Yeah, I'm a Cody Gumfer at Summer Slam. Okay, and then and that's when Gunfer just goes out and then just destroys this dude, Homelander versus the angry, the angry Austrian guy, exactly American dream versus a foreigner Ian Roy Cody. He

1:21:10 gets the belt. Let him didn't have a little rhynd and then we can run this bat at Rustlemania again and give Cody another moment. Who can you know, because Gunther Brock the cowboy versus the angry Austrian man. Oh we do that Survivor series. Oh no, Helen is cell No, we gotta do that. Shout out the gunther Man, because he took he took his health seriously, he took his physique seriously. That transformation for me is one of the biggest transformations of twenty twenty two. Like jer uh that in Chris Jericho. Yeah, dude, like he looked like a fucking like we we googled like a picture of him because it was like he used to be fat.

1:21:54 I'm like, yeah, dude, he looks nothing like he looks and he just he looks more menacing, smaller. Well, I don't I don't know in certain aspects you do, but standard against Brock, I don't know. There's a part of me that rather see big fat dump Walter. Yeah, against Brock bron stroman kind of deal. Yeah, Like if he's facing them, I'd rather see like the bigger version of him, Like skinny skinny Gumpfer is cool, but against them, I think the aesthetically wise, I'd rather the big fat version of just he looks bigger. That's the Vince McMahon and you talking, that's your Yeah, the giants need to stay giant, right, Yeah, Like now it's like bearing Corvin size and you know how trash for you mean shout out to Corbin for just getting the Chelsea Green treatment and the Men's World rumble. He's the new Heath Slater and I love it.

1:22:58 He's found his spot. You know. Baron Corby will survive an atomic bomb. They love him like he went from hating it to love. Barry Corby is a new dog siggler. Oh maybe not in ring, but yes, in terms of career longevity, I could see it. Yeah, say last I'm cool. Yeah, I'm cool with that. He always seems to pivot into roles that fit him, like like Broke Broke, Baron Corbon will always have a special place to me. I loved him. Not happy, you can relate. That's why I like you could relate to being dirty and poor like bro This is Joe's America and gas about to get up to about three sixty and Joe's America is doing Look behind me, Jose, Americans doing me real well. I got a whole room of a figures arcade machines.

1:23:44 Thank you, thanks, Joe. Yeah, I appreciate it. So you're like, Kamala, we did it, Joe, Yo, stop so all in do all? I really feel that the Royal rumbo this year if I had to give it a number instead of a leather a letter, give it a number. I'm gonna give it out of tear. Okay, I'm gonna give it eight inches m from a wall, well above average. Someone say that's too much. Someone say that's nice, five above average? Yeah? How many inches would you give it? Cow? Oh no, man?

1:24:28 Uh my dreams. Um, I'll give it like a seven and a half. It's half size, bullshit, Okay, it counts against five again. Many would say that that's you know, too big to start starting from the ass, starting to hurt. Oh yeah, okay, okay, Javan, I will give it a nine inches. Yeah, girl, I have to. I have to deduct the inch for the Pitch Black match and the Bianca bell Air match. They lose an inch for that, not a whole inches.

1:25:13 Jesus Christ. Girl, bottoms are like going crazy right now. Speaking of bottoms, Jake, oh, you got the game all fucked up. That's what that. I'll concur and agree with Toronto this one. I would give it. I would give it an eight. I was sports entertained for sure. It's so cool eight okay yeah, and it's so cool too, because like remember last week when we were talking about this and how we were like this rumble really doesn't have any solid winners, Like we were going in there being like, yeah, like this is one of the first ones where it's like really realistically, we felt that there were a lot of possibilities and we were pretty pumped, like we don't I don't you know what I mean, Like this was one that we really looked forward to, and I thought it really delivered, Like I'll take this every year if they could give it, because I mean there have been some Royal Rumbles where it's just like okay, like the forty year for example, where it's like why are we here, like this is so much or the year that seth Rollins won, like it was just like okay, like this is like we already kind of you know, we had predicted it on the show, like it was just one of those deals, you know. But another thing that I do want them to do. And this is my only criticism really the road into the Royal Rumble. I don't need you to list half of the field as like already in like let's let's keep this surprise. Like I was having this discussion with a co worker earlier, and like we were discussing the Royal rumble and like he said, fifteen was too much, and I entire I agreed fifteen way

1:26:43 too much. The women did it right with the seven, like seven is perfect like that way there's still most people think is perfect, Like yep, maybe a little too much. It could be. You know, it's a little bit more than than appetizer, you know, like it's you know, it's almost a whole meal. Like so there you go. So it's just ambiguity. That's like the biggest key to this pay per view exactly. I said, there's nothing wrong with an appetizer. I mean, you know some people like to tap this look not me? Okay, okay, why why so ladies and gentlemen, Well appreciate you taking this journey with us, right, but now we're at the end. We gave all the inches and now we're gonna tell you what we can find people. So Kyle, yes, please tell the fans where they can find you. We could find me at Apron Bump pretty much everywhere the apron Bump podcast. Like I said, I do a bunch of retro reviews of wrestling. This coming to Wednesday.

It was on brand. Thinks I would appreciate it. Javar. I saw you clutching your pearls.
