so it's been good to just turnmy brain off and shoot the ship
with Jay Bomb j. It's somemotherfucker. What you're You're back from the

(01:21):
West coast. How was your tripover to bride Plumbia? Man? Stressful?
I mean it's a long story,soul, try and slow it down.
I mean you're from Montreal. Allyou knew what Friday looked like,
right, was this like the storm? The ice snow storm? Yeah?
Yeah, we got hit with somesnow and ice lately, So we didn't

(01:41):
do an episode last week because Dezwas under the weather. I'll love it
at that um. However, Igot up at four in the morning Friday
morning. I was supposed to bein my friend Mike's house at five fifteen,
and long story short, there's agiant pothole on my street. My
wife hit it a few days agoand pop two of retires. Yeah,

(02:02):
that's how big it is. Sowe called the city because the city was
willing to pay for it, whichis yeah, which I was really surprised
about. So they sent a crewout to fix it. Now, instead
of fixing that pothole, they decidedto work on another pothole close to it,
but on the opposite side of thestreet. Right, So I leave

(02:22):
and I'm in a rush. Itwas a crazy morning. The pothole again.
No, I didn't hit the pothole. Bro this this is even worse.
There's like snow squalls and frozen ice. So yeah, frozen rain everywhere.
So I scraped off as much asI could to still make time to
get there. So I had likea little bit of visibility, and I

(02:43):
was like, oh, the heaterswill take the rest of it. And
as I'm driving, I'm like,oh shit, don't forget about the pothole.
So I pulled on the right sideof the road and I'm okay,
and then I'm like, ha ha, you know, it didn't hit the
pothole. And then all of asudden, I hit three fucking giant pylons
that they had decided to do workon the other side of the road.
And the pylons were like pretty muchburied in snow, so I didn't see

(03:06):
them well. One of the pylonsflipped over the car, one went to
the left of the car, andone went under the car. But the
front of the pylons stuck out inmy front bumper like a cow catcher on
a fucking train, and the baseof it, the square part, went
between my radiator and my bumper,so I couldn't get it out. So
I'm like driving and it's like andI'm trying everything to get rid of this,

(03:29):
rip this thing out, And finallyI just called my buddy. I'm
like, just go, like,just go, I'm not gonna make the
flight. He's like, fuck it, I'm taking my truck. I'm coming
to get you. So I goback to my house pull in. I'm
freaking out. He comes and picksme up. We're stuck in traffic because
everybody left early. We're super latefor the flight. We get to the
airport, we have to run tothe terminal, like home alone. Shit,

(03:50):
Run to the fucking terminal. They'reclosing the door. Thankfully, my
buddy's a pilot and he's like showinghis credentials and they're like, okay,
we'll open it up for you.Get on the plane. We sit on
the fucking tarmac for three and ahalf hours. Well, they de ice
the plane. We missed. Ourflights are connecting flights INBC to fly to
Colona. Couldn't go to Colona thatnight, had to get a hotel in

(04:12):
Vancouver, rent a car the nextmorning and drive four hours to Colona.
And if you're not familiar with thehighway between Vancouver and Colona. It's called
the Cocahalla. There's actually a Discoveryshow called Highway through Hell that's based on
the highway. It's the most dangeroushighway to drive in all of North America
because you literally go over a rockyand then down the other side. So

(04:34):
Vancouver was amazing, like you couldwear a T shirt outside, but when
you go up Cocahalla, it becomeslike the Arctic and there's eighteen wheelers everywhere
and it's just so fucking sketchy andeverywhere you turn and says like you have
to have chains on your tires,you have to have winter tires. The
rental didn't have either of those,so it was sketchy man. And there's

(04:55):
parts where you have to pull overbecause you've been breaking going downhill so long
that you pull over and let yourbrakes cool off. Wow. Yeah,
So that was the beginning of thetrip. Then we'll remember that, I
won't forget it. Then we endedup meeting up with Cussie or other friend
and we had a good time thatone night, and the next day they

(05:15):
all wanted to go skiing, sothey brought us to the hill that was
a complete disaster. Man, Iwas in line for like two and a
half hours getting rental equipment on.I don't know if you've ever skied before,
but these boots are like incredibly uncomfortable. They made me walk like thirty
minutes in the boots. I gotto the hill, I stood up on
my skis and I looked down andsaid, I don't want to die tonight,
So I unclipped. I walked backto the rental, gave them all

(05:36):
their ship back and went to thebar. Man and I drank at the
base of the mountain and waited forthem all the ski all day. It
was quite fun. It was quitesound, It was fun. We hung
out. It was great, Likethis is a better story for me at
leave. Yeah, but okay,so we we we do the Vancouver flight,
We do the skiing. Then Iwake up and come home. I

(05:58):
wake up at three in the morning, jump back on a plane at six
o'clock in Colonna, and fly home. And I mean the ride home was
great, first class tickets because ofthe pilot buddy. Everything was smooth sailing.
But I thought he'd be flying asthe pilot. I think that no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, No,
he gets to fly for free allthe time, so he could bring people
like that. It's such a goodperk to have a friend, such a
good tuck. Yeah, I'm alittle bit jelly. I paid one hundred

(06:21):
and thirty four bucks to fly toBC first class round trip. Yeah,
I can't. I can't complain aboutthat. But he picked you up.
That's a brotherhood. I love tohear that that you made it. Of
course, what happened to your car? Now, what's the deal? Well,
when we got back, we jumpedin his dropped off his wife,
took his truck, took a pylonin the car for days. There was

(06:42):
no way to get it out.You didn't like, hey, this is
your pylon. People on the street. You didn't fly to the people in
the street that were working. Bro. It was four in the morning.
I had a pylon stuck in betweenmy bumper. You couldn't play on the
street. I thought you they wereworking on the on the No, I
would have asked these sons of bitchesto help me lift it out of the
car. I couldn't. There's noway. We had a jacket like a
foot and a half two feet offthe ground. We had hammered out.

(07:03):
Yeah, like you know, likethe cover of your motor underneath it's all
ripped out and broken and cracked andshit. So I'll eventually get it fixed.
But I take pictures and send itto the city. Well there was
a cone. What he told me, I hit three big. I was
like, oh, like raccoons orsomething. I thought it was a person,
man, I thought it was aperson. I thought it was a

(07:24):
person. And free I had likea full dread and rush. As much
as the drive through Colonna must havebeen tough, it must have been beautiful.
There wasn't much to see, man. No, I always see like
Cologna, beautiful rocky mountains and lakesand forests, and it looks like if
your lumberjack, that is that isheaven once you get over the hill.

(07:44):
Yeah, but like it's desert there, right, So it's weird, Like
you go up, you're green oron the green side of Vancouver, and
then you go up and you're inthe Arctic of the Rockies, and then
you come down the other side andit's fucking it's all yellow like desert ship
and then but yeah, the lakesdon't freeze there. It was like really

(08:05):
nice weather like sunny, ten twelvedegrees, like pretty jealous of BC.
Man, Yeah, for sure,I am too. Like I've thought about
moving out there quite a few times. And the industry actually is very present
over there that I work in.Obviously, it's a lot more expensive,
but then you know, i'd beaway from my family, you know,
and there's there's a few things,you know, like I've had moments where

(08:26):
I'm like, I should have Ishould be out there to be gorgeous.
I still get I'm still subscribed toum real estate emails in the area,
and i still look at the housesfrom time to time and I'm like,
oh, it's so expensive. It'sexpensive, but but but it's a nice
location. You look outside and it'sjust like gorgeous outside. It's like your
outside your house, like on steroids. It's just oh god, yeah,

(08:48):
yeah, yeah, yeah, likerolling mountains and lakes and rivers and yeah
and uh yeah. But I alsofind myself, like, you know,
this past summer, like having abarbecue with all my Emily and we had
gathered in a while, and I'mlike, I'm happy I'm still here because
you know, it's it's nice tohave those moments where you actually are with
all your family and stuff. Um, sometimes not so much, but uh

(09:09):
but yeah it was. I don'tknow, we'll see, you know,
I don't know. I don't know. Like they have they have nice weather,
I'll give him that, but theyhave ship that we don't we wouldn't
want to deal with. They havelike fucking fires all the time and floods
all the time. Yeah, andthat fires right. So yeah, like
across the street from his condo there'sa burnt forest, like it came all

(09:33):
the way to the street. Likeif you looked across your house across the
street, the other condos those wouldbe on fire. And he's just like
all right, I'm okay here,I gott sure. Yeah, but it's
crazy everywhere around him. His beaches, man, so i'll give him that
red beach. I guess he's beentoo. I don't know, if you
know, I don't know the names, man. But everything's expensive. Like
a bag of chips. There wassix fifty for a bag of lays.

(09:56):
Wow. Yeah, selling of parts. Yeah, you know, somebody opened
that bag in the bus and thetraining and you're like, who farted?
Oh if somebody? Oh no,just chips, just potato chips. Okay,
just lays original. It's just potatochips. Yeah, what about you?
How was your weekend? Uh?Spent a lot of money. It

(10:18):
did a lot of groceries. I'vebeen doing Minem's lately, you know the
frozen food place. Oh yeah,yeah, yeah yeah. So for my
cousin, one of his gifts thathe wanted because like one for Christmas was
like Eminem. So I got hima gift card there and I'm like,
oh what you know, what doyou And I want to ask him as
to like lay little telling him,oh, yeah, I might be going
to NMS this weekend. I heardyou you like it. They're like,
what are some good stuff there?So I can get him some stuff.

(10:39):
So I picked up some of thestuff that he recommended and I tried it
out and like, you know,it's not bad. I was saying,
it's like, you know, sevenon eight on ten maybe I would say
seven eight on ten on average,which is not bad. To kind of
throw them in there. And thenif you have a night where like you
don't have a meal prepared to nightto night, we had stuff chicken breasts
and the stuff parmesan chicken price reallygood. The Swiss ham one's really good

(11:03):
as well too. They scalped tatoes, they have creb brulets, they have
meat Paul's. You know, getthe Munzarella sticks. Yeah, yeah they're
good. Yeah they're good. Cool. I got what was it, the
pizza sticks, but I found likethey were flaky and like kind of like
the pizza sauce just tasted like tomatosauce. Like, yeah, pizza sticks
or never. Yeah, it's hardto get a good pizza roll. That's

(11:26):
it. That's it. But outsideof that, just doing some game in
and h dude, Elimination chamber,So I'm gonna ask you. Elimination Chamber
came and went, and I wastexting you during the event. I know
you said you got a new phone, right or something or yeah, I
got a new phone. I uhnumber though, yes, I kept my
number, I think when the eventwas going on because some three hours behind,
right, I think we were goingover Coca Cola, Cucohola, whatever

(11:50):
the fuck they highway is, soI know, like I didn't have reception
for hours, and then I didcheck them out finally, and uh,
I did like kind of keep Twitteropen during the drive to see what was
going on and what the fuck badBrock listener. Yeah, well, I
think we all knew it was goingto happen, but yeah, I didn't
think that was gonna happen. Itexted you an awesome gameplay video from Apex.

(12:11):
Oh I didn't see that. OhI clutched it, man, like
I clutched it. We were playingArenas and my whole team got wiped and
the rings. I didn't get thatthe ring was closing. I'll send to
you again out Yeah, okay,And yeah, I've been really good lately.
I've been really kind of I don'tknow, it's been. I've been
having a lot of luck with thegame, and like I guess, being
on point, my game's getting better. And I wasn't taking this round too

(12:33):
seriously because my squad mates were justsuch poo poo, And as the ring
was closing, it was just meversus pretty much. I think, like
two guys laughed and I'm kind ofjust running away. I used Horizon to
throw that a teleport to go upin the air an elevator. I kind
of dropped down and started shooting atone of the guys and drop them down,
so I had then I'm two againstone, I think, and They're

(12:54):
just running up the hill shooting atme, and I literally have a sliver
of health lap and I'm like,oh my wall. You know, my
team sucks, like not gonna wintwo the one. I'm fucked. So
I just run up the hill andI throw and one of those like fire
grenades. Yeah, it's turn around, throw it. And also I's like
killed both of them. I waslike, oh yeah, it was like
the most clutch I've ever been clutch, And I love it. Teams that

(13:18):
pops up and tells you you wereclutch, It's like, oh really yeah
yeah, and you're like the onlyperson and you wipe out like two or
more people. I didn't know therewas a ring in Arenas. Yeah,
Arenas is great. I like it. But the only thing that's kind of
annoying lately is like you get teamwith really shitty people or people just quit
and it's like two versus three thewhole match and you're like yeah, or
you'll basically go in there and everybodyruns in their own directions and don't work

(13:41):
together a team or stay together.Yeah, And I'm becoming apex racist in
the sense that or biased. Iguess this is a better word if I
play with Valkyrie on my team,I know what I'm getting. If I
play with Octane on my team,I know what I'm getting, and I
really right now at this given time, probably the most despise playing with Valcrize.

(14:03):
She's one of my favorite players toplay. But when you play with
them on your team, they justfly around everywhere on their own where they
need to be, and usually thefirst thing they do is just like shoot
up in the air or fly aroundand give away your position immediately. So
I just find like they're always notthere when you need They're always flying around.
They're at Octans are the worst twobecause they always like run halfway across

(14:26):
the map, come back. Theyplay very selfishly, but sometimes you'll get
a really good one. But thenthen there's Rates who are the biggest baby,
poor sports and will quit. They'llquit and round one if you lose.
So yeah, it's funny how likepeople's characters kind of apply to their
character applies to their character. It'skind of like when somebody drives a pickup

(14:48):
truck, they just become a dick, or when they drive like a BMW
or an Audie, they just drivelike a prick, or take up two
parking spots. It's like it's weirdflip that switches where I'm like if I
bought a pickup truck. I don'tthink I do at but I feel like
I would. Still you get onethe way it is right until you get
one, Yeah, exactly. SoYeah, elimination chamber. Brock Lesner wins.

(15:11):
He pretty much pulled the SHANEA.Beslar and just went through everybody.
I don't think there was a surprise. I think like, people, are
you know he's in there? Weare you gonna have him do? How
is he gonna lose this match?You're gonna brock Lesner loses somehow. I
don't really know how they were goingto do that. I figured Roman would
have fucked with him maybe, buthow is he going to get into the
into the elimination chamber. They've doneit in the past, but yeah,
I didn't know how they were goingto really do it here. I liked

(15:35):
a lot of the aspects in senseof like Brock's um chamber never opened up.
At some point he just had enoughand broke it down and came out
nice, which was funny. Andapparently that wasn't scripted either. They said
that. Yeah, I read thattoo, ended up on the fly,
which was interesting. And they alsomanaged to protect Bobby Lashley. I mean,
like, I know, it's stupidthat he lost the title then went
back to title. Yeah, andthen like he all the way to Saudi

(15:58):
Arabia and couldn't even compete in eliminationchamber. They had him like be taken
out from like a bump or concussionbecause if you remember there a rumble match
they had a lot of the talkwas on how nasty those German suplexes were
in Bobby on his shoulder. Yeahyeah, and well here we are,
guys. He's having shoulder surgery andhe will be out in real life.
Yeah, and it'll be missing wrestlemanya oh no yeah, so no,

(16:19):
no concussion like they're making it seem. But yeah, yeah, it is
his shoulder. So I don't thinkhe really wrestled more than one match since
the rumball So yeah, but liketo go all the way to Saudi,
imagine that. I guess he gota good paycheck, but to go to
all the way to Saudi at leastthey protected him though, So yeah,
but so what's the deal now it'sbrock Lesner versus Roman reigns title versus title.

(16:42):
Is this a unification? I thinkwinner takes all, So I think
right now it's like they'll take boththe titles. But I guess they have
weeks to decide if they want tomerge them. But I mean, look,
Becky did it right and they didn'tmerge the titles, So I don't
know, maybe not. I thinkfor merchandise sales, because like even if
I look at this WrestleMania, okay, like their w B is a business.

(17:04):
Their machine and everything that they're doingis not for popularity. It's to
make money to sell tickets. Now, let's remember they're gonna be in Texas,
right, so one hundred thousand peopleI think in that arena two days,
guys, two days, So yougot to make sure to sell out
two hundred thousand tickets and you gottaput butts in seats. And people are
upset because why you have a wB champion? Why do you haven't?

(17:27):
You know, it makes no sense. You could have the w tadle one
another match you could, you could, but have you can you name me
a bigger match in modern history outsideof the Rock and Hogan that is as
big on a marquee as Brock Lesnerversus Rum and Rains, which we wanted
to get and missed, and forBowl Championships like at WrestleMania, like that's

(17:51):
that's the biggest match you could probablyput on the car. Well, yeah,
you got Paul Hayman in there too, right, so we were someone
went to have them Paul amen andthen you got little you know, greasy
as Seth Rawlins, who's lurking inthe back and get the USO's. I
don't foresee Seth being involved in thispart. I know he keeps trying to
get himself in there organically. Ithink restaurants trying to do that around WrestleMania,

(18:11):
like listen to me, I deserveto be there, and then they
might listen to me because it happens. It has happened. KOFE Mania Charlotte,
Charlotte Charlotte. Well, I thinkpeople didn't want her to be there,
but um, it's good ship.Pal. I'm trying to look at
the card they're building up here,right, and a lot of people like
are really angry about this. They'reso I can't believe anybody's angry about Roman
versus Brock. Dude, I know, like you're trying, like they're trying

(18:33):
to sell one hundred thousand seats tickets, right, Like that is a very
smart idea. Regardless of all thatyou have a new brock lessner versus in
new Roman rains. We've never seenthis brock versus this Roman. Well,
people are upset because it's brock lesnarversus Roman Rains again, but also that
it's championships being being held up inone match. Right, you can make

(18:56):
it. You could give Biggie thetitle back, or you could have somebody
else, you know, so youcan have it. You can have a
WWE title match that nobody really caresabout because all they care about is Brock
versus Roman. Well, it's funnyyou say that because who was supposed to
win the Rumble initially, right,Riddle? So you would have had Riddle
versus Randy Orton for the w title. I mean, like, I'm all
down for that few I think it'dbe great. Yeah, they don't need

(19:18):
the title and Riddle as a WBchampion not yet. No, that's a
grudge match, man, you don'tneed a title. That's just an angry
revenge match. Yeah. So Idon't even know if we're gonna get there,
yet it still seems like they're doingtag team stuff. I think they
should pull the trigger on I thinkit'd be a great match. What else
we have here, guys, Likelook at the women's elimination Chamber match right
Like, I don't. I didn'tthink the match itself was that bad.
I just felt it was rushed.It was very quick, prick pacement match

(19:41):
specifically, and I was actually kindof like in my mind, like I
think liv Morgan has had a reallygood story this year. I think they
put a lot of steam behind her, and it would have been kind of
cool for her to like have thatfinal WrestleMania moment, even if she won
or not at Wrestleman Yet I couldhave got behind that. I mean a
lot of these girls I could havegot behind mind, but look they did
Bianca righty like after you could say, debatably wrong a SummerSlam, but whatever,

(20:07):
I mean, like, you know, like got to move on,
guys. You know she is definitelyand us having this conversation with my cousin,
Bianca's one of the best. Youcan debate, She's the best female
wrestler in the industry right now.I would at least in my opinion,
I'm saying I agree with that.I think is like total package personality,
athleticism, work, ethic, everythinglike she is saw it. I mean,
got Charlotte up there. I thinkJay Cargio looks like a specimen but

(20:30):
has a long way to go withher in ring and selling it a lot
of stuff. But I think she'sjust money as well. But I think
Becky Lyns versus Bianca, that's okayby me. Maybe Bianca's finally going to
get two wins in a row.Two mate events are two big matches of
the WrestleMania two years in a row. That's pretty good treatment. Yeah,
there's no complaints there, man.And a lot of people are arguing about

(20:51):
it being Charlotte Flair versus Randa thisyear, but again it comes back to
them trying to sell it one hundredthousand seats and they feel like Arlett Flair
and and and Ronda could do it. And a lot of people want Ronda
versus Becky, But do you wantRonda versus this Becky? Because I want
Ronda versus the man. I don'twant Ronda versus this clown. And I

(21:15):
don't want to say like I'm enjoyingBecky's persona. I like how she's reinvented
herself. You know, I haveno problem with it. But she's kind
of like a cowardly heel right now, right right, kind of goofy.
I don't think that's the kind ofperson or kind of gimmick you want feuding
with Ronda, because then, likewhat they're gonna want, they're gonna cheer
for Ronda, they're gonna cheer forBecky. I don't know, I just

(21:37):
feel like the circle, the storycoming full circle, Bianca going against Becky.
That works for me. A lotof people love Bianca. They want
to win that title back, soI think this will make people tune in.
Plus, even if if Bianca doeswin the title, that can give
Becky some time off, right,I mean, she's had a really good

(21:59):
run anyways. She could probably usesome time with her kid at home,
and then she can come back asthe man in feud with Ronda, if
you know, for Summer Slam nextyear. That if she ever comes back
to being the man, I hopeshe does. I know, like there's
legal implications now with Ric Flair andstuff, and she's trying to like distance
herself from that say like, okay, fine, then I'll just beat somebody
else and I'll reinvent myself again.And I can admire that. But yeah,
I like the man aspect of her. I like the tough, no

(22:19):
bullshit attitude of her. Now sheplays very cowardly. She's very funny though
I still like it. It's justit's a different different Becky and and then
like a lot of heat And Iwas talking to somebody on social media about
this, so we had Dominic Masterioand Ray Mysterio speaking on the miss right
and the Mis has a tag teampartner. Miss even went on to say,

(22:41):
my partner is dashing. So they'realready doing a lot of the We're
gonna talk about Cody, for sure, but they're already dropping a lot of
the the Cody hints whether he's notcoming or not. The w w's very
much like trying to I guess milkit or kind of have fun with it,
so you know, obviously he's notCody. Look, I remember case

(23:02):
Logan Paul right, If you guyshaven't been watching, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, okay, SoI remember when they brought him out.
They wanted to bring him out.I think to work with like Sammy Zane
and Kevin Owens or I can't rememberwho exactly, but I think that's actually
who it was, and they weretrying to pass him off as a good
guy, but the crowd hated him. They boot him, not just boot
him, nuclear heat, nuclear heatto the point where they had to take

(23:23):
him out of the program and notuse him and be like, Okay,
it's not working because we're not gettingthe reaction we want. Dude, if
you want somebody to be with theMiz, the Miz who has nuclear heat
at times, Logan Paul is theright person to put him with. I'm
excited for this, Yes, metoo, And I think I just I
like, I like to see thisnew era of celebrity. Actually, I
bet you he's going to impress himthe ring like Bad Bunny did because Logan

(23:47):
Paul's athletic as fuck. So Ilook at it like this is just another
opportunity to get a celebrity in there, and he'll probably impress. Yeah,
people want to see the ship kickedout of him. We're waiting for that
day he loses a fight, buthe doesn't right so um, but yeah,
with the heat that he's getting likehe already kind of got a bit
scrappy this past week, So I'mall for this. I'm interested to see

(24:07):
what happens here. There's gonna bea lot of like heat volved and miss
is good at being involved in thosecelebrity matches. It's kind of great,
gritted it, right. Yeah,I'm kind of hoping Bad Bunny is evolved
at some point, you know,during Wrestlemanian maybe with Amian Priest again,
just because he's at entertaining to watchso good. But I don't know,
you know, we'll see. Andthen we got edge taking on TBA.
I think we're gonna find out thisnext Monday. I think the strong inclination

(24:33):
is that it's going to be aJa Stiles. I think it could be
a cool matchup between the just resignedwith WWE, right just resigned again.
Yeah, big money two to threemillion dollars a year, I believe.
Wow. Yeah, And he sayshe wants to end his career here,
he wants to be a producer withwith the w w E. I see,
so he's locked in, and Iknow a lot of people want to
see him in the Indy circuit again, back an impact or a Hall of

(24:56):
Fame or or whatever he's gonna do, and a w with all his old
buddies. But I don't think it'sgoing to happen Kevin Owens either, they're
locked up, so I'll be downto see Edge versus AJ. I think
it can be a cool dynamic betweenthem, and but also Edged. T's
a few other names as well too. You know, he did mention I

(25:18):
forget there's somebody else he mentioned,But he also talked about Cody Rhodes and
his promos as well too, Solike, what, yeah, there's a
few names, a few little thingsthat he talked about smoking mirrors, and
smoking Mirrors was Cody's theme song,So like they're kind of like dropping little
tidbits here and there. So we'regonna find out next week who it is.
And then we also have Damian Priest. Looks like he's going into a
feud with Finn Balor, which Idon't mind. Something interesting interesting. He

(25:42):
was title around his waist, soI don't know if that's gonna hit WrestleMania,
but I know they're also having thisbig show before WrestleMania in Madison Square
Garden coming up, so they havelike another mini show I think. I
don't even think it's a RAW.I think it's like a Saturday or something
like that. I'm not sure though, isn't it. Aren't they calling it
main event Saturday? Maybe that's it? An MSG? Yeah, yeah,
at MSG, which is cool,which should be like to me, a

(26:04):
pay per view every year. Iknow there's inklings of stone called Steve Austin
making an ring return to WrestleMania,and the rumors that I've seen, and
I don't know if it's just youknow, fan art or whatever, but
Kevin Owens versus the Rattlesnake, andI'm telling you, if we get this
match, I'm I'm all for it. Man. I'm getting jealous the people

(26:25):
who are going to be there now, you know, Like honestly, I
am. And I know some peoplewho, Hey, there's still time,
there is, but I'm not ready. I'm not sure if I'm ready to
go to Texas. We'll see why. It's a travel. It's a travel,
even that country. I'm allowed toeven leave the country and come back.
Yeah, you're allowed to leave thecountry. Okay. Yeah, it's
all over. March fourteenth, man, it's all over pretty much now.

(26:45):
Like I went into the store andthey're not asking me for my vaccine passport
anymore. Yeah, they don't givea shit. Nobody gives a shit.
Don't give a shit. Yeah,which is unfortunate because it kind of makes
it feel like we invest all thistime and all this all these measures,
especially the vaccination app, and thenwe're not even using it. And to
me, it also makes me worriedthat the people thinking that this wasn't a
big deal or going to think they'reright, you know, So that worries

(27:06):
me. And then we also haveOkay, I want to ask you one
question for the convoy that's down inOttawa. Right, Like, I know
they've done what's done. I mean, they're kind of dismantling it and stuff,
but it was still going on aggressivelyafter everything is being dropped. So
like, what were they fighting forat that point? Was that the fact
that they has to be vaccinated towork in the US? I imagine that
could be what it is. I'mjust trying to understand because I don't I

(27:30):
haven't really been paying attention to itso much. So I'm not saying that
I know what's right, what's best. I'm trying to educate myself here,
but like, what were they fightingfor towards the end if everything's being dropped
anyways, Well, they're absolute morons, let's start with that. But initially
their motive was Canada requires you tobe vaccinated to come back, right,

(27:52):
but the US requires you to bevaccinated to go in, So regardless,
even if you don't have to bevaccinated to come back in, you still
have to be vaccinated to go out, So you have to be vaccinated regardless.
I think, honestly it started offas our version of January sixth.
They wanted no I'm not kidding.Yeah, like the sovereign sovereignist parties from

(28:18):
Alberta, Pat King and Tamary LynchUh, they're part of the Yellow Vests.
I think it's called it's like alittle by US well Elon Musk even
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But but these two people, it
was like their movement and a fewof the others, and they're all crazies,
and honestly, I think they justwanted to overthrow the government. Yeah,

(28:41):
yeah, I don't know. Andit's funny because and I think it
was hijacked. I think it washijacked by people who had good intentions because
it was marketed to them very verywell, and I think a lot of
people who were there weren't understanding ofthe roots of it all. But then
after twenty one days, like hejust kind of looked like a fucking piece
of shit. You know, peoplethink that the prime minister does. I

(29:03):
think, like even if you putlike a stick or a rock on a
table into this the new prime ministerand this is going on, we would
have things to say about that rock. Yeah, Like he's just the kind
of I mean, like, Imean, he's not perfect. I don't
like him that much, but likeit's just I don't know, he's done
a pretty foul job at controlling thisship. But I don't think anybody in
his position would have done any better. So, I mean, I don't

(29:23):
only justin Trudeau have not liked himfor a long time. I think he's
a simple I think he's a globalist, and I think he's filling his pockets
and filling his party's pockets with alot of fucking shit. But everybody does
so one of I know, theintent was to have a peaceful protest,
and like a people getting arrested orlike, you know, we're just trying
to have a peaceful protest. Butto me, it's like they're blocking like

(29:45):
main roads for like importing, exporting, like doing tactical stuff that isn't peaceful.
So for me, at that point, you're not being peaceful anymore.
I know, But really what isa peaceful and absolute peaceful protest can improve.
It's like okay, because it hadon that head, Yeah, go
back to work being peaceful. Thenthe government's like awesome, They're they're being
quiet and staying out of our way. Yeah, it's like the same thing

(30:06):
is just get I get why theyneed to take a bit more aggressive tactics.
But I mean, the funny thingis is that you know, I
watch it and they're like a bunchof pussies. Trudeau keeps saying he's gonna
invoke this act and come and getus, you fucking pussies. You're all
talk, you're all talk. Thenthey're like, no, we're doing it,
and we're doing it tomorrow and they'relike no, you won't, you

(30:26):
pussy. And then they show upand they do it and they're like what
are you doing? What do youdo you? Why are you trampling me?
Why are you cheer gassing me?We fucking told you we were you.
And Rebel News they're like reporting thatpeople were trampled by horses and killed
and like reporting deaths and stuff,and then they had to go back and
retract it because like none of ithappened. It's so dangerous. So I

(30:48):
was watching uh SmackDown on Fox andit rolled over into Fox News and you
know what, they did it inCanada, Dictator Justin Trudeau, and I'm
like, oh my god, that'sso dangerous, you know, like it's
so dangerous, and they know whatthey're doing right, Like they are like,
here's a lot of money, you'regonna sell your soul, you're gonna
tell us what we want. You'regonna control the narrative. And they have

(31:08):
so much viewership that I just findthis is so dangerous. Oh yeah,
yeah, I mean I laughed rightbecause people were like, I can't believe
this is happening. Yo. Doyou not remember like the Summit G seven
or whatever it was they did itthen the Red Square Marches in Montreal when

(31:30):
college students went on strike and didn'twant to pay tuition. I was downtown
and I saw cops on horses fuckingtrampling people. I was there with Laura's
husband Jay. He asked if hecan go through a barricaded street and the
cop was like no, And whenhe asked the second time, they just
sprayed him with pepper spray. Yeah, so like this is nothing new.

(31:52):
You're not supposed to be there oncethey declare certain areas to be like a
zone of extraction. Don't go todumb games, win dumb prizes. Well
said, there's well said. Imean, I don't love it. But
like, let's say, I reallyreally really wanted at Tim Hornons coffee,

(32:14):
right, but somebody said if yougo in there, they're gonna shoot you
in your face. And I go, bull, it's my right to get
that coffee. And I go inany ways, and I get shot in
the face. I think I'm anidiot. I think I'm the idiot.
You know, there's a lot ofTim Horton's. I could just go to
the next one down the street.But it makes for a good TV Yeah,

(32:37):
I know, I know for sure, and it's something to talk about.
But yeah, I mean, butit's scary because my wife's mother from
Japan calls and she sees only whatshe sees it in the news, and
the media, and she I thinkshe watches one of those outlets that are
a little bit like they're they controllernarrative, and she doesn't tend to do
her own. Um, I guessfact checking show. She'll kind of contacts

(32:58):
and be like, how are youguys? I hear that, like it's
so and so are you guys safe? And it's like what are you talking
about? You know, like we'relike we're totally fine. Like I was
reading somebody tweeting it's like the onlycountries that are that don't let you out
of the country is North Korea.I forget the other one in Canada.
And I'm like, well, Imean, I guess you can go into
semantics and say we're not allowed totravel out of the country with certain we

(33:19):
are those expectations. I know,I know, But also like you're making
it sound like you're grouping us fromNorth Korea, like we're like fucking being
starved to death and repressed and likeInternet's being controlled and we have no freedoms.
Like honestly, like I don't know, man, I people are pretty
fucking fortunate to be living in Canada, So I don't know, like what
what they also don't understand is like, let's say somebody from another country.
Right, Let's say you're from Idon't know. Let's say you live in

(33:45):
Turkey and you want to go tothe States, you have to you have
to get into passport to travel there. Like sorry, like not sorry,
not a passport of visa. Youknow, like even for us to go
to certain countries, like we goto England, no problem, go to
the state, get vaccinated to gocertain countries, no, no, no,
But I'm saying you need you needto pay at tax to travel and
you're only allowed there for certain days, right, yeah, for sure.

(34:06):
You tell some Canadians that you haveto do that and they're like that doesn't
exist, and you're like no,Like if you wanted to travel to Africa,
you would have to get an Africanvisa, if you wanted to go
to South Africa. If you wantto go I think even Australia you need
to get like a travel tourist visa. You're absolutely right. And again,
like being in the industry, Iam. We do localizations. We translate
things into different languages, and notjust people who are like idaha to speak

(34:28):
German, like we need German nativespeakers who know like tonalities, and they
know like certain like sayings, andthey need the culture behind it. Right.
So we actually have people who likeeither we fly in and we get
them contracts, or they're in andthey have those working visas. And I
can't tell you how many times wejust lose them because they have to lead
the country to and wait for toget renewed, or we have to work

(34:49):
with them too. There's red tape, baby. Yeah, yeah, I
know. Now I understand, Likethe whole not being able to go to
the States thing for a little whilewas pretty frustrating, and I mean you
were still allowed to go, butit was pretty impossible, Like you had
to spend three hundred and seventy fivedollars on tests, then you had to
quarantine for fifteen days, then youhad to show more negative tests after to
be able to go back into society. Like I get all of that being

(35:10):
really frustrating, but at the endof the day, like to say that
you don't have freedom, you know, you traveled across the country on your
own will without being stopped, andyou were allowed to dance around the streets
for twenty one days without getting shot. That's quite free. And I also

(35:30):
noticed that a lot of the peoplethat are into it on my Facebook and
social media are like all the samepeople that are into like anti climate change
or like not no, not denyingclimate change, but like really caring about
the government. And like one guyin particular, remember the als bucket challenge
when he posted it, he hadthis big stick about how we were wasting

(35:51):
water, and I, you know, I tried to explain to him how
like precipitation works and like water evaporates, and you know, if you're in
a region that as water, youcan't literally waste it. You can waste
energy, right that that has toget you that water. I get that
argument, But this guy's pro convoylike went to Ottawa, and I'm like,

(36:13):
you're so worried about the environment,bro, Like what about all those
trucks trucking from across the world,Like we probably killed years of whatever gas
do you think is going up there? And if you have produce that can't
make it to a destination because you'reblocking so much waste. Yeah, you're
wasting exactly. So yeah, drivingup the cost inflation economy. I mean,
people can't go to work, feedtheir families. I mean, come

(36:35):
on, all right, you're goingto compare like wasting a tub of water.
Suffered in some areas because of it. Two people, everything suffered everything.
I don't know, but I dofind it quite convenient. How Like
as soon as North America, well, I guess the world is kind of
taking their you know, pumping thebrakes on COVID restrictions. Uh, you
know, Russia invades Ukraine and nowwe have another world crisis. Yeah,

(37:00):
I mean the timing. Putin's likeCOVID's no masks all right, Ukraine.
I thought the queen was gonna likecroak from COVID, and I was like,
oh, yeah, that would bethe perfect way to end it.
The queen dies. The queen ifyou've been a life for ever, I
know she's been on those quarters withnickels or whatever it is forever, and
she's gonna stay on them. Youthink, Actually, I'm wondering. She
doesn't even look that bad for herage, right, Like she's like what

(37:22):
ninety or something, or like,oh she's older than ninety. Man,
It's yeah, I'm just crazy.Do you think they would change our quarters
and stuff too, because like thewhole English monarchy thing or no, no,
no, no, like Queen Elizabeththe second is on her money,
right, that's the current queen.If if her son what's his name,
Prince Charles, if Prince Charles becomesking, does his face go on our

(37:45):
money the coins? I don't think. I think she's got to stay for
life. I think she's a lifefor her. But why, like,
was Queen Elizabeth the first on ourcoins before her? I don't know.
I just think she's been there forso long that it's like, well,
we don't know anything different, ButI'm gonna ask that question. Actually,
I got to figure that out becauseI'm pretty I'm pretty curious to know if
all of our coins have to switchat that point. I don't know.

(38:07):
It's interesting concept. We're always changingour money over here too. We got
the bills that look like monopoly ofmoney. We have the absolute worst money
in the world. I actually knowa lot of the world has that money.
The only thing I will say thatlike about Canadian money, and like
I remember, I remember Josh Moser, remember him and retard he came from
the US, and he's just likeif you Canadians, it's still bullshit over
here. Oh your money's different colored. It's so stupid. Um, actually

(38:31):
that's pretty smart. Yeah, it'sbecause you know what you're taking out of
your wallet as opposed to like abig wad of bills. You're like,
oh, like remember Jerry he hadthe gun when he got the gum,
It's like, oh, I gavemy one hundreds. Yeah, you know,
like oh so it's like no,I mean, it is silly.
But the states, though, they'rethey're like on one of the corners,
they're the number that's written like thetwenty year of the five or the ten.

(38:52):
It's a different color. Yeah,but a lot of Americans are great
with the pettention to detail. Ido you love that we don't have ones
though, because every time I goto the stats, I'm like, I'm
fucking loaded, and I realized Igot like eighteen bucks. I know,
I know that's rough. Right.You want to take a quick break,
come back and talk about some MJF. Yeah, let's do wrestling. Let's

(39:15):
get into some wrestling and some CodyRoads. All right, let's do it.
We'll take a quick break. We'llbe right back. Mister k yas
so sick. It is whack wrapyou whacked beach second, Like, I'm
going to wait, I'll be hearingto you hate this quitch show in your

(39:37):
face. Can't be a don dottyif we know that your fake hopefulers full
of pussies like a lesbian train playingthe bus. Guns couldn't tell me where
the mad goes. Whack holes hittingwhite black assholes. I'm so sick of
whack wrap. It's beginning that thatreal lyrics coming back to young and better
face facts. You don't even wantto see it. You don't really want
to beef. I'm gonna sniper intojungle and they hit it in the street.

(39:59):
Let's believe me when I say it, and I'm telling the truth.
Had to Mike smell of death whenI murdered the role. Jana Witten did
it, so I had to killit. Had me spitting hot fire like
so rotcher Witten? How much choppingthe mic? Let you have back so
to with the guests and Lena.Now I'll let the match all right,

(40:23):
Welcome back lady, another episode.Uh, we're gonna get into some rest
of the dating. We're sorry,guys, jam and I talked to you
to each other in a while.We're catching up, guys. I don't
even think we've talked to stuff realumball, so a lot to fit in
with the rest of the episode.We're gonna get a little bit into I

(40:44):
guess Cody Rhodes news because that droppedwell. Jay Bob and I were on
hiatus. But also, uh,Jay wants to talk about him j Off
a little bit too. So Idid see his promo. I read about
it, and then I read somuch about it that I was like,
well, I I gotta I gottalisten to this, and I checked it
out. It's really good, guys, fantastic, He's such he's so good
in the mic. I always likewatching what he does every week. Um,

(41:07):
he's fun to watch on social mediabecause he's such a prick. Yeah,
remember when he was a good guytoo, Like when he was like
came in and we saw him atand we saw we saw him. We
got some great videos up closet inOttawa and when he was kept um teasing
that he'll turn on Cody. Buthe's always like a good guy, Like
it's funny that you see that hecan play that if he wants. But

(41:30):
the level that he's at right nowat his age is phenomenal. I think
if he just stays in the course, like he could be a goat for
sure, he could be one ofthe best. Um way too early to
say. But at the same time, like at this level, so good,
and I like that he can kindof turn things around and play with
the fans hearts and minds and youknow going into it, kind of making

(41:52):
CM punk feel a little bit ofsympathy for him. Now, yeah,
you know, very creative with theangle. I mean in the promo itself,
I thought was pretty clever. Um, you know, kind of bring
the fact that cmpunk walked out onhim is kind of why that It's made
him strive to be the best ofthe world. And he's really kind of
not forgiven Sampunk for this. SoI like it. I do like it.

(42:15):
I like it a while, andI'm really looking forward to this Revolution
card. Dude, the card islooking stacked. That's stupid, I'm telling
I'm telling you, man, asmuch as you want to poke little things
here and there at a W andyeah, they signed Buddy Murphy Buddy Matthews
this past week. He's wearing anexact same gear as he did in W
He looks exactly like he walked rightout of two or five Live. I

(42:35):
like the guy but funny enough,Pac ended up beating U Malakai Black.
So Malkai Black is starting to losenow, but you know, losing the
pack is not is not necessarily somethingto be ashamed about. So he ended
up turning on Pac and joining theHouse of Black. So he's sick.
He's in another cult now. Butthis card okay, so revolution I'm looking

(43:00):
at it. We have a HangmanAdam Page versus Adam Cole. We got
Adam versus Adam right, And it'sso funny because like usually the w like,
oh your name is Adam, yourname is Adam. You're dropping your
first name. But you know they'regood, they can keep their names.
This feud has been interesting. Ithink we could tell the difference between the
two Adams, right, it's notthat difficult. One's really tall and one's

(43:22):
really not tall, one's just average, and one's very short. Um,
I really like it's Adam. Really, I don't Hangman's gotta wear this one.
Oh yeah, he's not losing,especially Adam Cole. And I like
Adam Cole, especially to Adam Cole. Oh my god, Eh, that's
where we're at. That's where we'reat, especially to Adam Cole. No

(43:45):
shit, Adam Cole went from sucha high fucking steak too. He's such
a mid carter man. I mean, he kind of lulled around a little
bit. But I feel like TonyKahn kind of heard a lot of the
backlash and was like, I don'twant to be I don't want to be
perceived that way. Let's put youinto a title picture. So I feel
like they kind of remedied that bytrying to get him into a good Um.

(44:07):
Did you watch this match with OrangeCassidy Adam Coles, Yeah, no,
but I saw highlights of him.You see the hug at the end?
No, but I saw where healmost hit Britt Baker or he did
hit Britt Baker. There was theend of the match like it was a
non sanctioned match. That way,they're able to have Adam Cole lose and
Nut count towards his record. Andthey climbed up on top of something and

(44:30):
Rage Cassie like hugged Adam Cole andthen just like fell backwards with them,
kind of like they did in theSquid Games when they went through the glass.
Okay, yeah, so they kindof did that and people were like,
dude, you couldn't break out oflike a hug from Orange Cassidy.
Like how lame is that? Right? So I mean I don't necessarily think

(44:50):
like feuding with Orange Cassidy's a badthing. But again, here we are
this past week, Eddie Kingston's makingfun of Jericho for feuding in am Amosa
matched with Orange Cassidy. Um.But Adam Cole, Like, I'm okay
with him moving up into the mainrotcher. I think the fans like he's
really over with the fans. Theylove to do. The music's great,
they loved the boom, they lovedthe Adam Cole Baybay kind of a vanilla

(45:13):
wrestler. He's not a vanil wrestler. But it's like you're getting the same
thing every match with him. Yeah, exactly every match. And the one
thing I liked about a W islike a lot of the matches and movesets
are often very different, and Imaybe Adam Cole has to work at the
w W out of his system.But yeah, here we are. But
the biggest thing for me is thatI'm like, yeah, Adam Cole hangman
page. They cut really good promoson each other. I'm liking this.

(45:35):
But the one thing, and Idon't want to be that guy. But
Adam Cole when he picked up thattitle, Dude, it's bigger than him.
It's almost bigger than him. Itlooks comedic next to him. So
I can't see him carry a littleguy, such a little guy, a
little tyke. He's a little twink. But Adam Cole and Hangman Page go

(45:58):
way back in the in the thestory of being the Elite. So I
think I think Hayman Page killed them. Hyman Page killed somebody. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, I think.I don't know. I don't think he
killed Cole, but he killed somebody. But Cole did die in it,
which was cool. Did he killCool? I don't remember. But either

(46:19):
way, Uh, this is thisis a fine match. It's gonna be
a good in ring match for sure. Revolution is Aw is so good at
putting together pay per views. Iwonder how many Adam Coole's superkicks were going
to see? Probably a lot.Yeah, he does like the stomach superkicks
too, Yeah, it does.I'm wondering if, like, when you
fight him and you're like not surewhich one he's gonna throw. Yeah,

(46:40):
I guess if you're tall, it'sgonna be your stomach. We've also got
the face of AW Revolution Ladder.Wow, this is a long this is
a long match type face of AWRevolution Ladder for a future shot for the
TAWTNT Championship. So they injected Keighley. People were so stoked. He has
been on TV for the past twoweeks, but he has been doing backstage

(47:01):
promos. Um. Yeah, Sothey're really just like kind of you know,
picking and using people. I guesssmartly. It's nice not to see
the same thing every week and seethem in rotation. But now I think
now it's getting to the point wherewe're not seeing some people at all.
Yeah, and now we got BuddyMurphy coming in. We got Jeff Hardy's

(47:22):
an Alben confirmed to be signing withDAW so we know he's coming in.
And then don't forget Tony CON's hugerevolutionary announcement coming too that you can't talk
about quite yet. Well, didyou see even the match with MGF and
CM Punk like that, ratings werelow that week or lower, you know,
so it's like now he's doing thelike the TNA impact. They said

(47:43):
the Tampact used to do the samething. Announcement surprises, right, and
I think with bringing Buddy Murphy inthis week was part of that. I
also think bray Wise has got tobe headed there, I imagine, and
then Killer Cross, Like there's somany people that are going to bring in
and they're gonna start letting go ofpeople as well too. Um, Brian
Cage resigned, No way, Yeah, Brian Cage is in aw's sticking around.

(48:09):
They must have he must have somekind of stipulation or something where.
Yeah, but getting back to thatladder match, that's what I thought.
I feel like AW does really well. They They have like big matches,
marquee matches on pay per views forsecondary titles, which I think is a

(48:30):
perfect way to keep your second titlerelevant. Like T and T seems important,
TBS seems important, The titles allseem really important. The tag title
seems a little bit less important tome, just because there's so many goddamn
tag teams and I feel like it'salways on this like rotation. I don't
even know who's the champs right now, the Jungle Express, Jungle Jurassic whatever,

(48:53):
Yeah, Jurassic Express. But they'regoing to be defending those titles as
well. I think at Revolution andlet me see here Drastic Express with Christian
Cage versus A Red Dragon, BobbyFish, Carlo Riley versus TBD. So
I mean parties that the Hardies no, because Matt's in a Matt Another match

(49:16):
and Jeff can't join AW until afterthis event. I think March tenth is
when he's able to join, andthis is March sixth. So well,
I am looking at the Matt Hardymatch and we have a six man Tornado
tag team match. So it's AndraDa, Matt Hardy, and Isaiah Cassidy
part of private party, but Iknow he's kind of turned his back on

(49:37):
private parties, so like, ifmaybe Isaiah gets kind of get kicked out,
maybe they're able to bring Jeff Hardyin a bit early, and that
might make a bit sense. Ithink that'd be a good time to debut
him. So I could see themin trying to get him in there,
having one of private parties kind ofweird in there, and then then versus
staying Sammy Gavara and Darby and aTornado tag match. This match is gonna
be all over the place. It'sgonna be insane, it's gonna be cool,

(50:00):
I hope that the big massive announcementwas Jeff Hardy, and Jeff Hardy
spoiled it for AW. I kindof kind of really like that. I
think it's funny because like people loveJeff Hardy, and I like Jeff Hardy
was respect for him, but it'slike, dude, like he literally walked
out on work and said fuck this, it took his ball, went home,

(50:21):
and like that's not really professional,right, So like you want to
bring somebody in your company who likehas a history of like yeah, a
ww's the devil, right, that'sit. But I think about an impact.
Right when he showed up, likeHeiza kite Bischoff had to poly audible
and Sting had to like you know, hold them down to pin him.
Like, I'm not Jeff Hardy's Idon't I don't believe he's relapsed. He
might have also been a genius andbe like, you know what, let's

(50:44):
look a radic, let's do someweird behavior. I'll walk out, They'll
think I'm on drugs. I'll refusea drug test or treatment, or I'll
refuse the rehab. They'll take thetest, say I'm clean, I won't
go to treatment. They'll let mego perfect out and that's genius maybe,
but it's really up fashion, likereally like so like you you know,
like I don't know. People arelike, yeah, he screwed over w

(51:06):
w E, but if like somebodyelse did this somewhere else, he wouldn't
like it. So they're like veryvery double standard with kind of like fans
are the worst man the fan narrativeand pro wrestling is horrible. Um.
I don't know what the announcement is, but Revolution does look good. Dude,
Chris Jericho versus Eddie Kingston very coolpromo. I would say go back

(51:28):
and watch the promo between the twoof them. This past week. Jericho's
really laying in Eddie Kingston about beinga bum and Jericho's gong somebody well and
Kingston Jericho trimmed it down a littlebit. I think his feelings got hurt.
He shed a little bit of weight. Eddie Kingston was also taking shot
to Jericho, kind of taking shotto w E. So like Eddie Kingston
when he goes out there, italways looks like he's like he doesn't give

(51:50):
a fuck, right like it,which I really like. So he kind
of goes out there and kind ofshoot at the Hip. It was a
great promo. We're also going toget Daniel Daniel Bryan Danielson versus Moxley,
which is going to be great tosee, Deaner CM Punk versus MJF and
a dog Callar match. Oh,that's gonna be so good. Britt Baker
versus under Rosa. This a rematchmember the match. Everything was the Match
of the century or whatever, butit was a good match, and they're

(52:12):
gonna have that rematch. And we'realso getting oh yeah, the ladder match
that I was mentioning before listen tothis. We got Keith Lee Ward Low,
Powerhouse, Hobbs three behe miss ina ladder match, Ricky Starks Range,
Cassidy Anthony or Anthony Bowens. Whoeverwins be Cassie or Anthony Bonenes,
it'll be Cassidy and then versus afinal TBD. So that's gonna be a

(52:34):
really cool ladder match. I imagineKeithley's gonna probably win this one or else
the fans are gonna shoot shit thepants like oh look what you did?
Um No, they'll still make anexcuses to no, no, no,
no, that's good booking. It'sgood booking. Wait, guys, wait
for the things, wait for toplay out, guys, wait just wait,
you know the long story. Andthen we got Jay Cargill versus Take
Conti. Jay Cargill took on theBunny I think last night on on Dynamite,

(52:58):
and the announcement were like, thisis the biggest challenge that Jake Cargo
ever had, and I'm like,the Bunny Bunny, are you kidding me?
The match is okay. Jay Cargois getting better and you can tell
she Remember I was talking about herchain wrestling and her like going from like
a move to move, Like she'sgetting better. She's telling a little bit
better. Um. So she's puttinginto work and I think obviously Sholly has
as much spirits as she has,but I like her. This whole match

(53:22):
was decent. But then take Contikind of comes out and cuts a promo
on like I'm gonna face you next, dude, Take Conti. I will
agree. I mean they say thatshe was the most improved wrestler this year.
I mean at least Wrestling Observer andMeltzer and his subscribers thoughts so um,
and I will give her credit wherecredits due. She definitely has come
a long way but her promo skillsare harrendous, are they? It was

(53:46):
it was like very awkward. Sheran down to the ring and it didn't
look like Jade thought she was gonnarun under the ring. And then she
got in Jake's face and then shekind of like, uh, kind of
did like a little trends in herfinishing move or when her finishing moves to
the bunny, and like it didn'tlook good, look clunky, and like
a lot of people were like,esh, you know, but Jade looked

(54:08):
really good. Jade looked like amillion bucks. She's growing more and more
on me. Um, it lookslike a super If you pissed her offully,
she'd be a super bitch though,fucker. Well, yeah, break
my dick off. But yeah,like I'm telling you, like revolution,
that dude a w stacks pay perviews yea, so well yeah, and

(54:29):
they're rare, so they're they're alwaysgood. Um. But the big news,
I mean this Cody Rhodes thing.I I'm still the person to break
the news to you. No,I knew I read it before. You're
the first one who messaged me aboutit. And I mean immediately you got

(54:50):
to think it's a work right,because I don't know how many times Cody
has gone on interviews and said like, you're never going to expect what's happening.
You're never gonna see where this storyis going, yadi, yadi.
I mean, I don't know.I don't know because a Mandy Huber came
out and wrote like I know she'sfucking annoy yea, yeah, okay,

(55:14):
And I'm like, I'm kind oflike, Brody's so cool, well you
know, like she's not like,yeah, well you know, I mean
it is social media, so like, you know, context is lost in
tone and all that. But shecame out and really said, like,
listen, this is not a work, like I wouldn't fuck with this,
like I wouldn't, I wouldn't usethis as part of the storyline. But
then I'm like, but that wouldbe really good if he did, like

(55:36):
everything that's going on, take thosemessages seriously moving forward, right. You
gotta be careful because it's in theirofficial uh memo format or whatever it is,
but you're I agree, I agree, it'd be great. Like honestly,
you even couldn't say it's not ait's not a lie. He did
leave, and then he could justtakes a couple months off and come back
or something like that, resign,you know, like there's that possibility as
well too, But you're all likeall the other people that are being interviewed

(55:59):
too, Like they had Kenny Omegaand just the stuff that they're saying,
like I never saw it coming becausehe was always the big leg us versus
them, And Omega said a bunchof stuff too though, where he did
say like it's it's not completely surprisingeither because he knows the way Cody is
and how strong he believes in things, and like he also doesn't know Cody

(56:19):
that well. So outside of likethe business aspect, they don't go out
and they don't hang out and stuff. So I don't know, but I
think the WWE has been dropping enoughhints, and I think there's also enough
insiders. You know, there's somepeople are gonna say what they think,
but there's enough people inside the wthat are like it's happening, man,
And you know, is very focusedon WrestleMania right now, and they don't

(56:44):
really look at aw they're not worriedabout what they're doing. You can take
all their talent, they don't care. But the fact they're dropping these Cody
hints like, honestly, Cody isthey could honest I think McMahon might see
Cody and be like, yeah,he could be a moneymaker. He really
could benefit our company. He couldbe uh you know when of the champions
we roll with, you know,because look, you know, like what

(57:05):
HAPs with Brock and Roman once thisends. I mean I want to say
it's like really gonna be Brock andRoman forever. It might feels like it
has been, but I don't know, like it's interesting because obvious saw the
memes of the images of that umthat chair that he smashed, right,
Triple H has thrown sledgehammer. Well, there's like a picture, somebody edit

(57:25):
it and he's like super gluing itback together. But he also said he
also said his favorite wrestler of alltime is Triple H. Yeah. I
mean, if Cody Rhodes does comeback, but how can you how can
he look at that product and belike, I want to be part of
it? And I think they're gonnabook be like he can go back and

(57:46):
they can be like, Okay,you're losing every fucking match now, boy.
Yeah, but you know you gottathink that he's gonna have to negotiate.
Yes, yes, yes, that'sthat was that was gonna be my
My follow up was like, likehe left, he gained it, gained
a ton of power to come back. Um, but where does he fit
in? I mean that's a hugeloss man, him going back to Rose

(58:06):
leaving a W. Yeah, himgoing But you know you don't think so,
Oh it's the biggest person who couldleave a W. Yeah is cow
I like to think so, ohabsolutely he's he is aw in my opinion.
And I mean like, yeah,Keny Omega probably would have been up
there as well too, um oryeah, but it's different leaving and going
back because it's like still not thesame. I agree with you, I

(58:28):
think. I mean Cody, Codylaunched a W when he smashed that fucking
throne with a sledgehammer like that doubleor nothing pay per view or is it
all out or all And I don'tremember. I think it was double or
nothing. It was just he alsomakes stars though, like all the people
that he's wrestled with, right rememberhis last back with the gav the latter
he's been selfless. He's been selfless, Yes, yes, he has been.

(58:50):
He never went for that championship.He left without winning that championship.
None of us thought he was goingto be able to do it. He
did well, Hey, I don'tknow. I mean he left and came
back. It's a new contract.Imagine he comes back to start us um
I Okay, So here's here's mythoughts in him coming back. He needs
to be booked extremely, extremely highin the card, Like he either has

(59:15):
to come back and face triple Aachianhis return, or he has to come
back and like it's got to beRoman or Brock. I don't think you're
place can wrestle anymore. He hita heart attack, right, so you're
gonna be trains like I think.I don't think your poys can wrestle.
He's barely even like involved as muchas he used to be behind the scenes,
so you can gre's a chance Codycomes back and he just works for
WW, doesn't wrestle, no,because you can make tons of money.

(59:37):
He's gonna be I think he's gonnabe a Wrestlebania. I don't know if
he's gonna wrestle. I don't knowwhen or how he would do and show
up though, because like the championshipis Roman versus Brock. You can't have
him to grow up at the end. It just doesn't make sense to have
him appear. I think the Rockwill show up Wrestlebania and Roman will win
or something, and then the Rockwill be like, I'm coming for you,

(59:58):
bitch or something like. Rock willbe there. Um. And we
did talk about Stone Cold as wellearlier. There's been rumbles about him returning,
and I think like he keeps talkingabout how he regrets how he walked
out on that time where he's supposedto put Brock over and he never really
had that goodbye or like great,I guess going home. I think they
figured with one hundred thousand people havingStone Cold there would be a big thing.

(01:00:20):
I think he's somebody. I thinkhe's somebody though that you don't have
just show up. If you wantto put a hundred thousand people in the
seats, you need let him knowahead of time. Oh no, he's
gonna he's gonna have a booked match. I'd like to think, so,
I hope so. I mean,he looks kind of old now he's stone
Cold. Steve Austin, he's ingreat shape. No, he's in great
shape. But if you look atthe eyes, you know, they're definitely
like especially the baby blue eyes whenbaby blues old and like Rick Flair,

(01:00:45):
Rick Flair, Sean Michaels. RickFlair was like he looked like shit in
a puddle, okay, And itwas a great match where he said I
love you and knocked him the fuckout. I mean, Sean Michaels has
had a very very bad head ofhair for for his last like ten years
of his career. So I guessyou're right. I don't know though that.
I mean, Austin's gonna come back, He's gonna have a match,

(01:01:05):
But I still, I still Idon't want to leave this Cody thing yet
because I feel like it's so fuckingdangerous for him to come back, Like,
how could he think he's going tobe the top of the card.
There's only two places at the topof the card. Maybe maybe he's okay
helping talent. Maybe he's in apart where he's like, well, look
he does the Go Go Big Showor whatever it is he does his reality

(01:01:28):
show. Maybe he wants more oflike a mis deal. We're like,
I don't think he wants let me, I'm not comparing up with the miss
let me just finish in a sensethat like he can be the main event
or he can be that guy,but he also has ability to do these
side projects at the same time.And the WWE really can keept behind it.
I look at Total Divas right now, we have co Corey and Carmela,

(01:01:50):
like they have these shows that theyreally pushed behind it. I know
Tony probably could, but again,I think what what I'm reading it came
down to was like when they wentinto it, he had a lot of
creative troll a lot of input,and I think they were all EVPs.
And I think Tony conn has pulledback a little bit and not at a
little bit. You guys don't havethis anymore. You aren't calling the shots
like you used him to begin with. And I think the difference is the

(01:02:13):
young Bucks and Kenny are okay withthat, I don't think, right okay,
But then how could he go toWWE and be okay with a role
that isn't like maybe Finn saw whathe did for a w and he's like,
look, by our product is suffering, maybe you can come and help
us out a little bit. Yeah, But having a guy like Cody Rhodes
come in right unless they build himup and then he becomes that guy like

(01:02:36):
he can't come He was a midcardingwhere he laughed, but he can come
back as a main inventor. Okay, but if he's putting people over,
well, I mean, aw washe a mid carter then no, But
there was a top of the cardin a w that he walked right into.
Where's the top of the car thathe walks into into WWE? Yeah,
Roman or brock and I don't he'son that picture for the time being.

(01:02:59):
I imagine whoever it gets both titleswon't have both titles very long.
No, but Roman, Cody Rhodescoming in and facing Matt Riddle, Kilty
at KOFE, Kingston big E,any of that, It doesn't matter.
That's that's trash ball. You couldhave. You could even have Roman win
both the titles. Then the nextweek on SmackDown, he has to defend
one of them and then Cody showsup. Yes, that's the only one

(01:03:21):
to do it. Cody wins thew W Championship. I know they'll probably
have brock In come in and interfereor cause them kind of fucking hiccup,
which I don't like, but atleast he would put the belt on Cody.
You know, at that point,I can't wait until Cody shows up
and you're like, it was great, but Brandy was there, so I
hated it. No, Brandy's notat signed. I'm not not going apparently
she's not involved with this, whichis good, but yes, I wouldn't
like it. I don't like.I can't. I can't imagine that this

(01:03:43):
is going to happen. I know, right, I just can't. I
can't like this. I know.I said Daniel Brian was the biggest defect,
and I said the other one wouldbe Charlotte Flair going a w which
is still believe in. But CodyRoads coming back to WWE. To me,
it's like like I get how thewrestling business works, and I don't.
I'm still not convinced that he doesn'tcome back just to start creating a

(01:04:03):
path between the two, but elevatea w because don't forget, WCW got
really good when they started training backand forth, maybe when people were showing
up on w W, then showingup on WCW and back in w W.
E part of me also feels likewith Tony CON's insecurity, like he
wouldn't let Cody go for anything.No, you cannot create a control.

(01:04:24):
No no you can't. Okkk youcan or like here's some money or stay,
we need you. But it's likeor maybe you know, he called
Tony's bluff and Tony was trying tosix to his ground as well too,
like I don't know, like Iagree with you, Like it was so
when I saw him, like no, like what why why would he leave?
Like he wasn't happy, he wasn'tbeing booked properly, Like what's what's
going on? Like maybe he's likelook like because Cody has mentioned right like

(01:04:46):
god to know how much longer he'sgonna wrestle for he always teases retirement,
you know, he says maybe toy'sforty, maybe another couple of years or
whatever. Maybe he's gonna want hischild to watch him wrestle. Maybe he's
gonna wait a little longer. Idon't know. But what are some things
he has not done yet? Well, he's not made event to WrestleMania,
and he's not been a WW champion. And I don't care what you think
about the WWE, but that islike a pinnacle of any resturans resume,

(01:05:11):
right, I would agree that islike the top titty, like you've been
ww champion, Like, I don'tknow, Like I know Biggie is upset
because he got shafted and he did, but dude, he's been w W
champion. He's in history books,right, Yes, exactly, It's pretty
awesome, pretty awesome. I don'tknow. I don't buy it. I
don't they're they're maybe it's just smokingmirrors. I just can't imagine the last

(01:05:35):
five years of his journey has beeneverything against the WWE and built an entire
industry that's heavily competing with WWE.I mean, this is this is the
closest thing we've had since WCW forsure. And for him to just turn

(01:05:55):
around and go, ah, I'mgonna go back there, like there's there's
Cody's He's a sneaky guy. Youknow, Cody's a smart guy. And
if he goes back to WWE,I mean the only thing is if like
they were playing us and they weredoing this big angle, which Bully Ray
still thinks it's a total word.Yeah, yeah, I know, Bully

(01:06:16):
Rail still thinks that I heard him. I feel a w W would not
be paying them attention. They wouldjust keep moving forward and worry about themselves,
which they always do. But theykeep dropping Easter eggs. They're still
do that. They don't do thatwell. I think that the wrestlers themselves
are probably like what's the word.They're probably lobbying it no, I know,

(01:06:39):
I know, but I think thatthey're probably lobbying with creative and being
like, yo, this is goingto get a lot of pops, like
let's just do it, even ifit's not happening. But for for I
don't even know, dude, Ipart of me thinks that if he does
come back to WWE, there isa small chance that they're going to break

(01:07:00):
that wall between a W and wwThere really feels like if Cody Rhodes comes
over and if and if maybe youknow, Nan talked about the surprise changing
the industry, right there's why.Yeah, but he said that about Christian
I know, yeah, And Iwas gonna say Christmas talking about how he
took his career back in a wDude, really was was it worth it?

(01:07:25):
Honestly? Christian's been pretty good atAW though. Yeah, I know,
but he's a babysitter over there.I just feel like, honestly,
like the only thing that I feelabout Christian is he missed this window where
him and Edge could have been TACTINGchampions again, like with his best friend
years later, they could have doneit again. And I feel like he's
like, yeah, but he wouldalways be second match. Yeah he will
and he always will be. Butlike, what is he at? Aw,

(01:07:45):
He's not first. Anything he camein him against Omega was pretty big
for a while. Yeah, whenhe first came in, when they didn't
have all these other people coming in. But I think when he won the
TNT Championship has been his biggest curseand biggest gift. He would not have
got where he was without Edge,but obviously he would always play second,
second fiddle to Edge. But beingsuch best friends, like he's like,
oh, yeah, you know,they didn't have anything for me, so

(01:08:06):
I signed with a W. Butit's like, if you would have waited
like a month or two, I'msure they would have called you back and
you would have had a program withEdge and you would have won the tag
team titles and then go to aW. But um, I mean,
he's gonna do what he's gonna do, and I respect him for it.
But I just kind of am likeit would have been cool to see them
like be tag team champions. Atleast we were time and do the whole
like ten seconds of flash photographers.Yeah, that would have been good.

(01:08:27):
You know, we were those classes. Yeah, but he'll still have his
hall. Is he in the Hallof Fame yet? I don't know.
Edge he'll be in the Hall ofFame and he'll have that moment in wrestle
man. Yeah, I guess,so, I guess, so, I
guess. But honestly, man,I would love for that fourth wall to
be broken. I really would.And I feel like I love once a
year like ww B vers is orall promotions mingling, like maybe Cody's going

(01:08:48):
there in the men walls. Idon't fucking know, but it's got us
all talking, and yes, Ihope it's I'd love to see Cody Rose
in w W because I'd like tosee the melting of the aw fans.
But I just don't know. Idon't I can't pick a side yet because
it just doesn't seem plausible at all. We're gonna find out soon enough.
I mean, like I imagine ifthey want to put buttson seats. They

(01:09:09):
want to sell tickets. You needto advertise this going into it, because
it's like, oh my god,Cody's gonna be back, like I want
to go, I gotta go.This could be huge. Yeah, it's
coming to so I feel like theyhave to do something. And then in
the coming weeks, like you thinkAW fans are going to do that,
because like WWE creative thinks that nobodyknows what AW is. Let's be honest,
I don't know if they know,but they pretend to know. They

(01:09:30):
pretend. I mean, come on, brock Lessner and Ron Rowsy one and
Goldberg was wrestling like a week ago. I mean, w always does eliminationship
sorry, always does Saudi because theyasked for him, and uh, I
mean, what are we supposed tothink? Now Goldberg comes back and like
he he's always gonna lose. He'snot a threat, you know, fun
fact, fun fact. Goldberg isnow no longer under contract with the WWE.

(01:09:54):
So yeah, maybe Goldberg's a guywho's the big life chance. Let's
see what happens here, folks.Let's see what happens here. I think
I taker as a chance to showup. Ever, no, I think
he's actually gonna beat WrestleMania because he'sgoing to the Hall of Fame and and
I think he'll do one last entranceat WrestleMania. Um and and again I
didn't get to finish my point onwas total cold we talked about earlier,

(01:10:15):
Like, so, I thought thiswas interesting because Kevin Owens is such like
a fan favorite, right, Like, I love how quick witted he is
on the mic, like very verysharp, and you know, he's kind
of pushing being a face for thepast like a month or month or so.
And then suddenly he cuts this promobackstage where he's like, you know,
I'm not going to beat WrestleMania,and you know, he starts bashing

(01:10:36):
Texas and Texas specifically, like thisis a b there you go, you
have it, right, Yeah,he started back and he's and if you
look on social media, people havebeen like, so, Kevin, what
do you think about Victoria, Texasspecifically? And he's like, oh,
I especially hate that. Like whatdo you think of beer? All beers?
Gross? You know? Like solike I think, but Kevin is
one to have fun with stuff,right, So, but imagine this,

(01:10:59):
Okay, Kevin wasn't at WrestleMania lastyear. But imagine this like, oh,
I'm missing WrestleMania. I'm not gonnabe in the Championship picture, damn
it. No no, no,no, no, no no. Hey,
remember when you used to sit inyour bedroom with pictures of Jericho and
Stone Cole Steve Boston on your walland you dreamed about being a wrestler.
Well, Stone Cole's gonna come backfor one more match and it'll be against

(01:11:19):
you. And also here's two tothree million dollars a year. Like,
dude, if I was Kevin Owens, I'd be like, fuck the Championship.
I want this match, you know, Yeah, easy, easy decision,
Stunner versus Stunner. And I'd belike, dude, have him beat
the shit out of me, havehim study ten times, have him poured
beer on me, have him hityou the zamboni. I'd be let's make

(01:11:41):
him fucking look like a million bucks. I'm down, sign me up,
do this. Yeah, so I'mexcited to see this. If it does
happen, I don't know if it'sjust gonna be like I hope it's not
like Seth Roans versus Kevin Owens.They again, right, they did it
last year. They did wrestle lastyear, and maybe the year before the
Kevin Owens wasn't in it or I'mmissing mixing up, but he didn't miss
WrestleMania one of these year recently.So we have Kevin Owens versus seth Rawlins

(01:12:03):
because they both don't have a programright now. And then the match ends
and then Kevin Owens gets up andthen still Cold comes out and stets up
a couple of times and that's it. That's not enough for me. No,
yeah, because we've seen that before. I hope that's not the case.
But again, it's still cold.Like I know, he said,
like, I'll never go back becauseif I go back, I can't deliver

(01:12:25):
like I used to and it wouldjust kind of be like the Innertaker,
right, so nothing will be likethe Interertaker. Man, nothing could be
that bad. It was bad,dude, it was the worst. I've
been going back and watching like twentyfour seven, like Summer slams and oral
rumbles and stuff. Man, andwrestling used to be so good. I
want what you're gonna do. It'sstill good. It's still good. It's

(01:12:47):
still good. But we do havethe massive square garden show up on the
horizon. Guys. We are onthe road to WrestleMania, so we're covering
more of that as we move forward. We also have Revolution coming up on
the sixth of March, so thatoh, that's like next week. That
yeah, next weekend, so thatmeans we will give our predictions next week.
Guys. A lot of thing goingon. I'm really excited to find

(01:13:11):
out what happens next with Kody Rhodes. Is it a big work? Is
he on his way to the network. We'll have to tune in and find
out and stick with us here inTakamania. We'll be covering things as we
hit on the road to WrestleMania.Make sure it gives a follow on Twitter
at Underscore Talkabania five star subscribe.It'd be a Takabedia stay away from Russia
