Speaker 1 (00:01):
I mean, I gotta say, God, we'll get into it.
I just can't fucking help but laugh at the fact
that there were probably people that, hey, that thirty dollars
just to see Sina.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Sixty Some motherfuckers paid sixty Oh my god, and that's
not even including the the people that showed up and
went there. My brother hit me up earlier and he's like, oh, dude,
I was gonna get you tickets is a big fucking
surprise for all the shit you did blah blah blah.
And then I saw how much they were and I

(00:34):
was like, no, I'm sorry, I'll get you now that I.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Got okay, They're like no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
He's like, you did a lot, but you didn't do
that much.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Like, oh dude, I'd be like, yeah, we could use
that money for something much much better.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean it was nice, it
was a nice thought, but yeah, you said the tickets
were going for like two three bills for the worst,
the nosebleediest.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm like, ugh, honestly, Like in it's a real effort
to not yet people's young, especially when we do a
show about it, But like, what the fuck is wrong
with these people open three thousand dollars on a wrestling ticket. Never,
never in my fucking life would I ever do that ever. Ever.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I don't get it. I just don't. I don't understand
why anybody is really sitting there with these price hikes
and going.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Fuck, yeah, okay, that's it only that much. I don't
I don't know where. Once again, I don't know where
these people are getting this money from at all. Dude,
we're like too gainfully employed adults with careers, right, and

(01:52):
we're still sitting there, like, who affords this? Sh How
people bang this? I don't know other than like credit
or inheritance would that be.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I'm curious what those front row tickets were, like, I
really am, because I mean I didn't look at the
last minute, but you know, there there had to have
been some of those tickets dropping right like the last minute.
Somebody dropped it down to like, you know, a cool
twelve thousand.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah that's it. Oh yeah, only twelve hundred dollars to
get in the building for Russell Poza. Yeah yeah, it's
it's a poojah. It's a big first of all.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Wrestling too for a mature audience. Them on rusting so
Russell Poloosa postal show. I am Anthony Thomas. He is
his excellency, our excellency, the excellency show numbers.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I truly am you really either, by the way, I
guess I will jump into this little chidbit. You know,
a lot of things happened on the show. Let's let's
just leave it at that. But maybe my favorite part,
ironically or whatever you want to say, was the Undertaker
choosing to come out as the American badass tonight after

(03:20):
his little performance you put on last week and.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Stuff that he just happened to show up there. She
wasn't there at any other time. But she's like, oh,
you should try it sometime. You should try being on
this side of the audience. Yeah, stuff, maybe you should too.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
That's a good old dear. I love the idea still
if it he had like American badass saddy, but boy,
you know, a second he's he's a badass in America,
but the second he flies over international waters, I'm just
a widled little bumblebee.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
He's just recognizing the true power behind the throne. Joe
that's true, Joey, the Excellency, the true the true leader.
Should we should do you think we should do that
is like.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
We should just completely fucking pretend like we haven't made
fun of this at all and just be like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Most people don't even understand, though, Joe, because it's kind
of a running joke that's been happening for the last week,
but a lot of the YouTube people might not have heard.
Maybe they don't know that Prince Joe and Rince Turkey
are sound one and the same.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
It's very yes, the voices are very similar, but that's it.
It's like if you were to take the just that
level of wealth and opulence and apply it with my
level of I don't know, as yeah, there we go, gratitude, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(04:57):
inability to to see the financial gain and spending in
it on any of the stuff. Yeah, I don't know,
but but yeah, dude, it's hilarious to me that the
Undertaker comes out in this and you know, you know what,
I'm gonna glass half full depart though, And you said
that Stephanie definitely knew she no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
No, no, I didn't. I was making fun of the
fact that she was. I was making fun of the
fact that she was trying to tell Undertaker that he
should join the audience more and sit in the crowd.
And I thought that was funny coming from her. Yeah right,
she's usually not front Roda.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Why don't you sit down, your fucking mark as you're saying, yeah,
sit in the crowd, old man.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Either that or it was her trying to tell him, like,
don't rustle, please, don't wrestle just because russell Mania is
going to pay you a lot of money next year
or the year after.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I know just the idea too, And I know that
there's a lack going on with Michelle McCool and I'm
sure it's financially stressful, but still, nonetheless it's another guy
in wrestling and entertainment or whatever that he doesn't he
doesn't need it, he doesn't need the money. He does
not have to fucking put the boots on ever again.

(06:15):
And you know, with that being said, I mean, I
guess if he has such love and admiration for the
leader of Saudi Arabia, maybe he should then, right, maybe,
I mean, if he really looks up to him that much,
you know, like he's he's a big tough guy from
Texas with a helicopter on his shirt, you know, like

(06:36):
he's got pew Pews on his shirt like he's like, yeah,
I'm fucking badass. I don't have any daddy issues. But
maybe maybe like for doing that, like he should show
how much he admires the excellency though, and take that
money and have another manager. I don't know, you know,
it's just a coin flip. It's whatever you want to doeh.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Pretty much, Mark, it's uh Russell Paloza happened good? It
did twenty twenty five in Indianapolis. The tickets were pricey
from what I understood, a lot of uh lot, a
lot of seats filled. They had what was it over
fifteen thousand is what Cole was saying. Yes, fifteen thousand

(07:22):
high priced tickets being.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Sold, which I man, you've been to Indiana multiple times. Yes,
But to me, I see that, and I go, does
this city got it like that? Like financially they got
they got it like that? I don't think they do, right.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
No, No, but you know what it's it's kind of
a big deal because they made that big push, right,
So this is part of that WWE plan with the
Royal Rumbling stuff. So I imagine all the wrestling fans have
been saving up for this, like all The Indiana fans
have been really waiting for this because it's the first
time in history that WWE recognized that they were a state.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
So they've been collecting their cans yeah you know, you know, yeah,
selling their fillings back, you know, getting some wooden teeth. Yeah,
I saw that. And this will mean nothing to anybody
outside of like Massachusetts and New England. But I just
assume that Indianapolis or Indiana or whatever, it's just like

(08:21):
a giant Worcester, which you've never been to Worcester, but
it's like an old mill city, kind of run down,
got nothing to write home about. Like that's the vibe
I get of it. So I don't foresee them being like, yeah,
you want to buy this three thousand dollars wrestling seats.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Indianapolis is bustling, but I don't look at it as
a rich city, you know what I mean. It's yeah,
I mean it's better than Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Ooh ooh, well, I'm intrigued that better than Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Got a couple of early donors to the show, donors
blood donors, because you were donating blood tonight. First up,
we've got Nick Namath fan for nineteen ninety nine. Hey,
taking off some of that espn sting for us the
balls to give us a brock squash match and think
giving us kid rock Taker was going to make this

(09:18):
worth thirty bucks sixty bucks for some sir. Also they
couldn't give us more matches and give us a cool stage.
All hails surf Shark and our excellency Joe Numbers.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Thank thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, thank you, thank you to your nickname.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's fun. Yeah, man, I guess we could get I
know we have another one, but maybe should we just
get right into the fucking first match here.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well, we'll jump into that in a second. Let's not
teck the other one, and then we'll go to some
more in a few Thank you, Nick, real quick to
other Nicholas Nicholas, doc dude, no question or point, just
to say thanks again for keeping us entertained. Much love,
thank you for ten pounds bro.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, thanks, yeah, mus your pret much appreciated. Nick Nick
Nick Nick Nick nick Nick. Yeah, we need some more necks.
That's an old guy referenced to.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
It is old. I remember that, but yeah, no, it was, uh,
it was thirty bucks for a lot of people. It
was sixty bucks for some. I guess that didn't have
the ESPN WWE relatable package because depending on what kind
of cable service you had, you didn't have that type
of ESPN available, so you had to purchase that. I

(10:30):
I don't know. I didn't have to deal with any
of that because I had surf Shark VPN, to which
I found out sadly Norway no longer exists. I was
using They got rid of it. I was using Norway
in order to watch WWE programming. I swapped the VPN
over like Stephanie McMahon told me to. But I found
out that El Mischow in Portugal, Mischu Mishu was doing

(10:54):
just fine in Portugal. Got to watch the whole show HD.
I didn't have any of the stutter problems. I heard
from Dan and other people that there was a lot
of dropped signals, like there was a lot of problems
on the ESPN side on Netflix. Not a not a
problem at all. Smooth sailing the whole time.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Joseph, Well, I can tell you this much, at least
from my end. I mean, I was talking about this
on Thursday, so it should be no surprise anybody that
heard that show. I've gotten enough streaming services plus cable.
I have enough. I know I have enough. Like I
really am sitting there and I'm going, all right, I
got cable. I have fucking Amazon Prime, I have Netflix,

(11:38):
I have a what's it called HBO Go, I have Petecock.
I'm like, that's enough, that's enough. So I'm just I'm
finding away. You know, where there's a will, there's a way,
And uh yeah, that's how I watched this fucking show tonight,
that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah. No, he kind of had to, so I was
kind of glad I didn't jump on the ESPN thing.
I imagine it's going to be a lot like when
Netflix first started picking up raw and they started doing
pls internationally before they started doing it for the US market,
where there was a lot of problems in the beginning.
There a lot of hiccups. So maybe ESPN will pick
it up. But yeah, I mean, I'm not a regular

(12:13):
subscriber to ESPN Plus or anything like that, so it's
no big loss. Although I do have the the triple
package that they had back in the day, and I
think we still pay for it, the Disney Hulu ESPN thing,
But whatever, I digress. So we started off in Indianapolis.
It was a hot crowd. We opened up with Pat
mc or Triple H coming out. Of course, Triple Ah.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Had to do his ballerina twirl like he used to
do for Redicks. He did.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
He had the spotlight shining bright on him. He was
looking good.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
He was the dancing queen. It's his favorite thing to
do for these pay per views. Still, yes, And sometimes
I see it and I go, is that for him
or is that for us?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
You know both? I think it's both. At this is
it for us too?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Like we're like, oh, it's a big moment because Triple
H comes out and does like a little twirl and
gets all super.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
He doesn't spit the water anymore, though, I'm a little disappointed.
I was waiting for some water spit, but no, no
water spit for Russell Paluoza Indianapolis.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Do you think he has the breath? Oh yeah, I'm kidding.
He's still working on he's still in good shape. But
I'm just being a dick. Yeah. No, he didn't do that.
He didn't do the water spit. I mean, if he did,
it was basically him spitting in the face of millions
of people that usually watch this program.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, I mean he did welcome the ESPN audience, and
what went over like a fart in church was how
he talked about this is the final form of sports entertainment.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yes, yes, final form. Finally, it will never evolve past this.
No sign it is over nine thousand right now? Wwe
is isn't its final stage? His final form? It is
sprouted wings? And is that a dragon? That's a dragon
ball thing right the nine thousand?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Huh h is that dragon?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Well? Either way, Triple H came out and made sure
to let us know that he's the prettiest princess. Was
the prettiest princess. But then there was another pretty I.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Was gonna say not to be upstaged. Yes, McAfee coming
out being drunk was great. Oh I loved it. Drunk
pack mcafe, pack McAfee, pat mac.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, he went to the fucking packy McAfee. Before this,
he hit the fucking package store, which good, which, by
the way, good for him.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah. Oh no, he looked rested. I was like, oh
my god, this guy got some sleeps in saprol. It's great.
He looked.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
He looked rested. He looked like he slept. Uh, maybe
he walked a straight line, a little bit, warmed up,
touched his nose, did the alphabet backwards.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah good, Yeah, standards stood on one what Yeah? No,
he ran through all the WWE exercises. You know, I
believe they.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Called him the USO truck.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I was gonna say, Jim Tott him everything.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
He knows.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Feet Oh my god. But uh yeah, we opened up
with uh rock Lesnar coming out looking like the redneck monster.
He really is. He he kind of aged a little bit.
He had like a weird poofy like nineteen fifties Karen
mullet going where it was lick at the top. Oh,

(15:33):
it looked great. You look like you look like a monster.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Dude, brock Lesnar's got to be the only guy that
because he's so jacked that his crazy hairdooes and facial
hair is always underrated. Yeah, because he always like, even
when he used to have the fucking the Russian eighties
villain haircut, it still looked fucking cool. Then when he
has a beard, he looks sick. Even when he had

(15:57):
like the weird braids, it was like, dude, he's still
just looks like a fun You look like a battle
toad was cool.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Do you remember back in the day when he first
got the sword on the chest tattoo and everybody was
making the dick jokes. Has brock Lesner ascended to Tyson
level where even if you want to make fun of
the weird tattoos that he has, just not gonna say, shit.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, what's the point? You know, what's the point? I mean,
you just got to know he's so he is so
weird that it doesn't even matter, you know, Like it's
similarly to Tyson, where it's like, oh, Tyson has it,
he's so odd? Why are we pretending like this guy
is living in the same world as the rest of us,

(16:40):
you know, likeck brock Lesner was there for half an
hour left and it's probably already I don't know, in
the air eating an elk's leg. Just yeah, they loaded
one onto the plane and he killed it on the plane.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
They gave it to him live.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
He had to chase it around the cock fit, but yeah, great,
Well he was like can I shoot it in here?
They're like no, no, that's too dangerous. He's like, all right,
I'll just strangle it. Yeah, you know, of course, so
he probably did that, and yeah, no, he's just weird
as shit, Like somebody now to say, why would he
get an odd tattoo? He's an odd guy?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, why for sure. But I mean people made fun
of Tyson's tattoos on his face too for a while there,
until they didn't.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
But and then everybody had a tattoo on their face. Yeah,
maybe Tyson's not as weird.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Ice cream cones and random.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
It just bullshit scribble and stuff. Then yeah, at this point,
no one cares, right.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, you get like weird, like little skulls that you
put on your neck. So yeah, brock Lausner coming out,
looks looked a little wider, looked a little darker, looked
like he was ready to go. And then Sina came
out with a whole bunch of children's.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, interesting choice for how this match was going. Yeah,
hey kids, everybody here? Yeah, hey, did everybody get their
Sina shirt? Yeah? Everybody want to see me get the
shit dude out of me and left the dad it's
so fute.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, I know Nick didn't like it. I loved this match.
I was talking to you on Thursday about it. I'm like,
all I want to see is brock Lesnar just caveman.
The hell out of Sena, you know, just grab him
by the toe and slam him back and forth. It
was fantastic. Sina started off. I mean they went back

(18:33):
and forth for a bit, and there was a point
where Sena hit the three triple or the three attitude adjustments,
and the kickout was nice, like it was great, and
the fans were completely into it. And then that's when
that's when brock Lesner woke up, right Like John Cena
had that point where he's hitting him and trying to
knock him down, and they're like, oh god, you got

(18:54):
brock Lesard down on one knee. And then brock Lesner
woke up and just gave him six f fives, just
six of them.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah that barack LESNI realize He's like, the longer I
stay here, the more I might have to talk to people, right,
So he just started just murdering him, murderously, just murder
I beating the ever living shit out of him.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I was actually disappointed that Scena was able to walk
to the back. I was kind of hoping that they
would have done the stretcher moment. I mean, I know
I don't have my camera on, but I was wearing
my Ron sena shirt in hopes of maybe an our
truth coming out there. I wasn't sure, but I just
knew that Sina wasn't going to walk out this day.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
For this is another one of those moments though, where
I'm looking at it and I'm going, this is just
a WWE does something to where I clearly this is
not being booked by a promoter anymore. Clearly, this is
not being booked by people that are thinking to themselves,
what are we going to do for the We really

(19:55):
make sure these fans, like I'm sorry if you are
are paying, like you said, twelve hundred dollars more than
that three grand to sit in these seats, and you
bring a little kid there, and John Cena has four
more wrestling matches, you don't put him in a position
to fucking lose. That's just the way I would view

(20:18):
this top to bottom, no matter what.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
And that kid was perfect, the kid and the avatar
that there's a screenshot that I had where he has
this face and he's crying, and right above him it
says another F five and closed captioning it's just ah,
I need this on my wall.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
It's so delicious, And you know what I get it
to some extent because now we needed to put over
the young upstart. Sure, I get that, like on the
way out where like Sina's got to lose Mattress to
the guys that are going to be here for the
next like ten to twelve minutes. So we want to
make sure that we're building up the future. And obviously

(20:58):
that's brock Lessner, right.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Oh no, Brock will be here for a long time, dude,
as long as I keep doing shows in Saudi Arabia
and paying them lots of money.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Right, as long as he gets paid seven figures to
show up for seven minutes, he'll be pumped. But like,
there was a lot with that match where I'm sitting
there and I'm looking at it and I'm going for
what for what.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
It was for me? But it was personally for me.
They actually called me up before the show and they said, hey,
you know what, Mish, this one's for you. And I
was like, oh, okay, thanks guys.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
But by the way, like I'm sure people would say, like, okay,
maybe this will He'll have Brock as his final match
and he'll beat him or whatever whatever he has already.
Well he only beat him once. Well that's enough, he
beat him once, so it's not that big of a
deal if he comes back later and beats him again. Yes,

(21:52):
I don't get it. I don't understand the booking of this.
Like I said, there's probably children in that crowd. I mean,
of course, all the ones that they emptied off the
ramp afterwards, but he probably shouldered.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
In the crowd snowshovel and just push them right off
the side.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, like disappointed to be disappointed over there? No, But
like this is where we are. Sina once again has
three more months to be a professional wrestler, and there's
a lot of people that look at Sean Cena and
equate him to WWE. They equate him to wrestling. And

(22:32):
I wasn't sure that I would see a day where
I'd have to sit here and argue for the for
the fucking win loss record of John Cena. But this
is one of those times where whoever you book him
against for these last few matches, he should be beating
them the end. Yeah unless yeah, Like.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I agree, But isn't it kind of this weird thing
that they just wanted to give people a big name
match like so here, Well, but it goes into flavor
of what we were talking about before with WWE kind
of changing or TKO changing the definition of its audience
and maybe instead of giving people and you know they

(23:13):
got a heart on for UFC because they own that too.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was more for TKO
than anybody in WWE.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Well, I was hoping TKO would get would written more
blood out of the WWE fans and I viewers. I
don't think they're getting enough out of them.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
There's always a little more, there's always another drop.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Maybe they can, maybe they can get some I don't know,
fucking Czechoslovakian guy, I don't know who the fuck's in
usc anymore to come and just like drop his nutsack
on Cody's face over and over again. Yeah, maybe that
Like they're not getting enough from wrestling.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
If if Rajah wasn't such a psychopath, I'm sure they
would have loved having him in w Dowa.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Oh he would have been That's another one of those instances.
Too stupid to be rich. Like he looks good, clearly
he's got intensity. We're so the match.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
The match actually finished up. After Brock was done killing
John Cena, Rock started to leave and then he came
back and he started killing the ref and then he
went back and killed John Cena again, and then it
was finally over. And obviously Cole and Pad and Wade
were all making their comments about else commentators on Friday

(24:23):
and this week it's referees, Can anybody.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Stop the brock? And I love too that they were
like and that took fifty minutes.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Oh yeah, they were sucking the time today. Whole crap they.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Dude, this was you know how people like he's not
getting paid by the hour. It's like, yeah, are you
guys getting paid by the hour? Because we melt this
shit out of some of these matches.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Man, commercial breaks in house baked in commercials and then
promos and vignettes of what you've already seen. I mean
why they we lots of b roll of what Indianapolis
looks like from the outside.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, I'm telling you, I think I saw. I think
I saw a third of that city. Yeah, I think
I was at least I think I saw at least
half of the fight. Like you know what, hey, people,
let's go to the suburbs. Want to look at the
outskirts to see the area. What do you think? Let's
check out some of the local gas stations. You know.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Patrick O'Connell for five says Seth still raiding his wife's
closet again. Pig shock.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Oh yeah, oh no, you guys said it, and I
was like, guess that was exactly. They came out looking
like an SNL sketch.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, they were dressed like the Aliens or something like
that from the SNL sketch. And I really loved the
death metal theme that they came out to real real great.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, that's cool. That matches them totally.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Thanks. Patrick ten from Street Fighters says I paid seven
dollars and thirteen cents pro rated for the rest of
the billing cycle for unlimited canceling the sub after this
only match worth it was the Women's World title match.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
I mean it was yeah, that was like, yeah, that
was one of those things that was one of those
matches where you're watching it. I know we'll get to it,
but well it was going on. I'm sitting there and
I'm going, oh my god, the poor like a like
AJ is going to have to come out and follow this,
and I didn't know it was going to be like

(26:27):
directly afterwards, but yeah, that was a match was fucking exceptional.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
It was fantastic. But I my problem was is I
think half the audience got lost with that.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Well it went too long. I mean that was the
theme of the night was everything went way too fucking long.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
So yeah, they got a little loss in the summer.
What do you want more commercials, Joe, Well, no, I
would have What would you want a two to two
and a half hour long, succinct wrestling show where things
flow and make sense? I mean, how else are we
going to make people feel like they got their six
million dollars worth? That's at fucking third row right.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Nick Nammath fan for five says, do you think them
cheering Vince's image on the screen means they appreciate him
a lot more?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Now?

Speaker 2 (27:10):
After TKO and Triple H continually ram their own balls
down our throats?

Speaker 1 (27:14):
I mean, yeah, you know, you've done a really really
bad job, really really bad job with the viewing audience
when they have Vince who and by the way, I'm
sure somebody will say to you, hey man, there's a
lot of people who don't don't care you know what
Vince did.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Oh, there was a few there was a block Lessner's
sign in the audience that says he shouldn't be here,
and you know, why.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Give me a break. He shouldn't. He shouldn't be here.
And you know why, I want to be like your
wwe their reputation right now and the way that they're
moving business wise, you shouldn't be there, have that level
of more believe, a supposed moral integrity, you know.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Well, they had to stand up for the little man.
That's what it was.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, yes, yes, of course the little man. Who's that
Jesus John Laurnidis?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Is that the little Yeah? Well, yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Marlon Wayne's wasn't he in that movie Little Man?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Oh? Jeez god, that's an old school reference too.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
All right, well, I'm sorry, you know, some people don't
appreciate the classics little Man.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Well, after we were done watching Brock Murder John Cena
in front of all of your children's eyes, we went
on to uh the tag match between the Vision bron
Breaker Bronson Charles Bronson, Reid and Jimmy and Jay whoso
Jimmy and Jay popped out first. I don't know which

(28:49):
one was first, but they made reference to Rikishi later
on the night, but uh, Jimmy, Jimmy took the Mic
first and then kind of gave it to Jay and wow.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Jay was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, four letters one sound.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
I was like, all right, cool, well.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
You know what. I kind of like that he makes
noises like that because it's kind of like him showing
respect for the hearing and pairedge community.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
But it's weird, like Jim's over here trying to have
a conversation. He wants to sit down with his cigar
and talk to the people, right like he's doing a
Kirkland you know, me seeks kind of thing to people.
And then you got Jay going.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
And it's like all right, but by the way, I
mean this, just watching this match and Jimmy cutting to promo,
it is just further confirming our theory that he really
is the Christian of this group. Yeah, where the powers
at bere Just like, listen, this guy is pretty much

(29:51):
more capable at everything other than looking ten to fifteen
percent aesthetically better to put him on the fucking cheerio.
All right, Hey, you know that's true, Wins. There's always
the sided nipple theory doesn't work in this case.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Man.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
You know you've never seen that with this.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I know we've talked about the Nikki versus briefing before
that one's a.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Little bit better looking. It's usually not not by a ton,
but sometimes it's just a little bit. It's not like
some crazy uh you know, one guy comes out looking
like a fucking stud and the other guy comes out
looking like a thumb. Like, that's not that's not the
dating to Vito and Swatznegga. Yeah, I was going to

(30:43):
bring that film up, but we've already.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Met just too many old films.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
For one, I'm like, have you guys, have you guys
heard of a film called Casablanca that's really these references
are really gone with the wind. Yeah, no, it it
is hilarious because that fucking entrance also took what twenty
seven days?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yes, of course, of course.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
And then by the way, they can't.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Forget about La Knight's entrance too, because La Knight had
to come out there.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, he had a whole forty Ella and Knight La
Knight really really is ramping up the fucking faux rock shit,
isn't he at this point? Yeah, even the glasses like
he's looking at the camera. I'm like, dude, just say
Rudy pooh, just say it.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Were's some stylish shoes in a Hawaiian shirt. Guy, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
I mean, like just and I know that people all
the time, they you know, it's cool down. But it
was always like he's a Rock ripoff, and it's like, yeah, whatever, man,
the Rock hasn't been doing anything like actual wrestling for
twenty five years, so it gives a shit. But at
some points I see him and it's like a magic
eye of the Rock where I'm going, all right, that's

(31:57):
a little too much, a little too much, bud.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
He was fine, but he was ultimately ineffective in this
match towards the end. But I mean there was just, man,
for a guy who is supposed to have a lot
more involvement in there, there was some silly stuff, right,
Like I mean, I guess, to be fair, his involvement
was fine, you know, clearly leading up to him and
Jay in the future. But there was a funny point

(32:20):
where Jay Usso was talking shit about l A. Knight
giving a slow count while La Knight was still counting
the three. I thought it was just the weirdest thing.
It's like, wait a minute, shouldn't you bitch that the
count was slow after the three? Not like in the
middle of it. But you know, man, I got I

(32:41):
was barely invested. It was not it was not a
great match. Like I love Bronson read Look, Bronson's Tsunami
will never not be impressive. The fact that he gets
up there and he just glides at his size off
that top rope is just beautiful to me.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yes, he's the way that he spins through the air,
and I'm not even being sarcastic, it really makes it
look that much more fucking devastating.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
He looks more comfortable in the air than he does
on the mat Like.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
What dude, I will say for sure though, Uh yeah,
Broun's Broun Breaker Jingleheimerschmidt. He really has such happy feet.
He really has his timing issues. Like I'm gonna just
keep talking about this. I feel like until I don't know,
the guy wrestles for another five years on television. But

(33:35):
maybe other people aren't noticing it, but I'm watching these
matches and I'm like, damn, I'm almost nervous for him,
you know, like the way like I'm like, oh, get there,
get there, get their turn around, turn around, like just
because I'm just waiting for the day where he just
runs on false esteem into somebody butt's heads or fucking

(33:57):
turns around at the wrong time and gets himself or
somebody else hurt. But he's always like a fucking a
hair off in a way that I see coming and
it makes me nervous as shit. But no, I'll give
him this though too. For Sure, they looked cool with
the jackets when they came out. Yeah, it did look good.
Yeah that looks that looks fucking cool. That looks like

(34:19):
in coming out with Hayman. I'm like, all right, this
looks like something now, But yeah, you're the match. You're right.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Well, we can't forget about the fact that jay Usso,
whose head is made out of cotton candy, swung the
chair at Breaker but smashed himself with it. I almost
forgot it and smashed himself so hard that he started
leaking everywhere. It's like, all of a sudden, in two seconds,

(34:47):
there was j blood on his face, you know, like,
oh what happened? And then it was on Bronson Reed,
it was on bron Breaker, it was up in the
kid that was crying about Sena, Like everybody was covered
in jay Usso's blood all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Only funnier because no one did ship to him, like, right, he.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Did it to himself.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Have you ever been sitting there and I don't know,
maybe this is just like you know, big nose, dediated,
septim guy problems. But have you ever been sitting there
and it's like it's so fucking dry out your nose
just starts bleeding.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Sure, yeah, it.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Just passes you off, like you're like, come, come on,
the fuck is this? It's like he did that version
except from his forehead towards the end of a wrestling match,
but no one did ship to him, like it's just
like what happened to you? Is you like I sneezed, Dude,
I sneezed at my forehead exploded. It's like, oh shit, dude,

(35:39):
you like necro butcher fucking scar tissue on your hand
or something. Yeah. No, that was funny and it was
also you know, further proof of uh once again of
our theory that it's like, I don't think I remember
Jimmy accidentally exploding his own forehead to finish.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
I gotta say the the usso's felt a little off.
It was weird to say. And I know that you're
you're bringing up Bronson breaker or Bronzon Breaker, Jesus bron Breakers,
happy Feet and stuff. But Jimmy and Jay felt like
they were on different pages too. There was a couple
of times that they were set up for tandem moves,
like even when they did that one d they just
kind of felt like they were not on the same
page either. And it's like, oh, you guys have been

(36:20):
tagging forever, but I guess it's been a minute now,
kind of like do you think that that's a thing too,
that they just need to get back into practice more
or did you feel that they were flying out there
besides Russo's.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Face, Yeah, I mean Jay himself is just Jay's not
that good dude, Like we know this, Like he's just
he there's a reason why I think at this point
that the office knows all right, time to start swinging
you back towards Jimmy. Right, we're gonna and I don't
know if this is gonna last. I don't know if

(36:52):
he's gonna come out on you know, Monday or Friday
and'd be like, yeah, gee, I don't know what's wrong
with those g like dot, I don't know if that's
going to happen. But maybe they're doing that purposely because
they're starting to put together the fact that Jay is
kind of adult. Yeah maybe, you know, like I said,
they're sitting there going, oh, we got ourselves a stud here,

(37:16):
and it's like, now the brother was actually keeping him
afloat the whole fucking time.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
That Tricconnell says, I think the show would have been
better if wwe took more blood money from Saudi Arabia
for that would have made it, That would have fixed it.
I think, I think the blood from Jay's head and
just give it to Saudi's you know what.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
I was thinking to myself, what could make this show better?
And be like if somehow TKO made more money? Yes, yeah,
what if somehow TKO found a way to make more money.
By the way, we didn't get to mention the the
fucking complete hilarity of the commercial with Triple Ah standing
on top of Allegian Stadium. Oh yeah, oh he goes

(37:52):
to the way that he phrased this was so funny
to me. He's like, the most successful show that we've
ever had, And I'm like, why do I give a
fuck off? Your show successful? Shouldn't you be trying to
like when you're talking to fans shouldn't it be like
the most you know, the best WrestleMania, the most wild WrestleMania,

(38:15):
you know, the most fit, like people were, you know,
the most exciting. But he's like the most successful. I'm like,
I'm so glad things worked out for you, guys.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Do you feel like they do that because WWE wants
to rally those type of fans. They want to rally
those troops, right Like we always joke about the aw
sickos and how they throw out numbers left and right
even when they don't make any sense. You got guys
like Dave and Brian, et cetera, et cetera. But do
you think that this is like the sub the covert

(38:46):
way that WWE rallies those troops. Look, guys, it's the
most successful show ever.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
I think they're just fucking tone deaf because they're doing that.
They're doing that this night that they're fucking Hey, listen, guys,
we decided to fleece you all for fucking thirty extra
dollars a month. But don't worry, I wrestled any it
was the most successful. Aren't you happy for us that
we're making all this money? No?

Speaker 2 (39:15):
I think it's us different it's a different type of fan.
They want the fans that, oh, man, I gotta be
around all these important events. I gotta be there and
stream and live and post show and everything else like that.
I gotta be at these events because look how successful
they are. Nobody would have expected Wressell Palooza to be
so successful. Man, I really should have spent that twenty

(39:37):
thousand dollars on that eighteenth road ticket.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Yeah, you sit there, You're like, I know grandma needed
a new fucking wheelchair, but like, what's gonna happen if
I don't see jay USO's fourteen fucking minute long entrance.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
John Smith for five dollars says four letters, one word, ESPN.
I mean, you're not wrong.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
John, Yeah, Well you know what ESPN. I think it's
hilarious that there were people saying they were having all
these problems with the ESPs. How did pe because Peacock's NBC.
Never mind. I was like, how is Peacock running a
better stream than ESPN?

Speaker 2 (40:18):
And well they also had like, what was it two
or three months to plan all this out? We don't
know how long ESPN got the ball.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Yeah, that's true, you know what I mean, we don't
know how long they've had to think about this, which I.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Mean to lament their decisions.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Yes, yeah, when they sit there and they're like, wait,
we got a film sports, How the fuck do we
do that?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
What es?

Speaker 1 (40:44):
What's S stand for? Again?

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Oh? Saudi Arabia a lot of money, Saudi a dirty
birds for two bucks, says Jay. Stigmata flared up. It
really did that. That blood was everywhere. I guess that
was like, you know, there's a free bonus. Hey, you
guys should spend ten thousand dollars on tickets. You could

(41:06):
have went home with some Jay's Jay's plasma.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Oh. One of my buddies that he doesn't usually watch
wwe said, was laughing in a group chat and he's going, man,
look at the fucking slim gym sticker on the table.
And I said to him, I go, dude, this company
is so money grubbing. Now, if they could ring fucking
Jay's blood into a container and sell it at the

(41:31):
fucking blood bank, they would do that.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
And they kind of did. They kind of did.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
You called it like nice nice gig brother just scooping
into his fucking this tube. Tobe said, By the way,
we're all saying that in kind of like hardy harhar,
don't be surprised if it's first sale at Fanatics in
the next forty Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
Well they used to do that back in the day
when they used to have like trading cards. I'm sure
they still do, but didn't they used to cut up
the ring afterwards and like, oh, you get one of
one thousand cards that all have pieces of the ring
on it that were actually wrestled on. But we're probably
just fabric that was already made in China months ago,
so I don't.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Yeah, well, if you was a problem is if you
buy anything with Jay's blood on it, is you need
to show a form of identification because you had to
be over twenty one.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Yeah, enjoy paying those tariffs on Jay's blood too. So
but yeah, the match was fine. Jay dies and the
Vision wins bron Tsunami took him out. It was beautiful.
And yeah, I'm assuming that La Knight and Jay Husso
will get into it again because there was a point
where you know, La Knights thought that Jay Husso was

(42:42):
trying to smash him with the chair. It was like, oh,
I wasn't doing that, Well, maybe maybe I was, so.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
And it was a little and that was also a
little too much and overbooked and kind of started to
fall apart, which it was night.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
You're right, it was too much because they were trying
to develop like multiple storyline. It's like, ah, I don't know.
We go on to the women's match, women's the title match,
EO versus Stephanie the Quay. Lots of dancing to start
the match, right, Yes, lots of dance, lots of technical

(43:17):
stuff which kind of slowed down the crowd in the beginning. Sadly.
You could definitely tell that, or you could definitely hear
some people who love these types of matchups, and you
could definitely hear that. There was a lot of people
sitting on their fucking hands. It was like immediately the
crowd went from being somewhat hot with the USO stuff
going on when they have the table in the ring,

(43:39):
Like you had this high energy match with all four
of these guys technically five, and it kind of slowed down.
And I didn't feel like it was the girl's fault.
I thought they did an amazing job, but I don't
think all WWE fans like that level of technicality in
a match.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Well, you also just kind of put them in a
position where it's like, hey, here's the guest star in
wrestling that's leaving in three months ever getting is fucking
ass kicked. And then here's Jay Usso with his twenty
five minute long entrance of hand waving and hipping and
hopping yep, and then he fucking loses. And yeah, now

(44:15):
here's some chicks, right, I know. And for that crowd, yeah, well, no, they.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Wanted booty right off the bat. They wanted so much
booty right off the bat, and the girls weren't giving
it to them. They're giving them a really good back
and forth match with some mission holes and technical holes
and a little bit of high flying once you got
towards the middle point, towards the end of the match,
it's a little bit of that, but yeah, no, a
lot of dancing, a lot of technical.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Well, dude, this is one of those matches where you're
watching it and you're going, Okay, most of the guys
on this show are not going to catch these two. No,
they're just not going to And like you said, the
audience is probably sitting there going, well, you know, if
they're not full we watching everything, and and of course

(45:02):
kind of been hidden away, yeah, to some respect. So
they're just going, oh, well, you know, oh another good
looking girl on the show. You know, it's like in
their mind, that's some of them were probably just thinking,
like nice to look at. But you know, you know,
fairly seen a wrestle.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
It really felt like a Joshie match of sorts, like
something you'd see on Marigold. And I'm not saying that
in a bad way. It was just it was a
different style of match. Wade Barrett actually kind of made
me laugh my ass off. He was saying that Stephanie
has that new car smell, and I man, he got.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Some real weird, creepy ass Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
That was I'm like, what the fuck are you saying, dude.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Wade Barrett. During this match, it was like he was
trying to do a more intelligent like Booker. He was
trying to British Booker, trying to be like British Booker.
You know. He was like, sure, I'm going to be
horny and cross away.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Yeah, yeah, like I love Wade man. Wade. Wade makes
me laugh. But saying that Stephanie has that that new
car smell inside, That's what he said, right, she has
that new car smell inside and I'm like inside what dude?

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Like he also said someone too, like after she did
the face, Oh the kiss.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Everybody wants to kiss from the doubt.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Everyone wants that kiss from that. And Michael and somebody
was like wait what and he was like, let's move on.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Oh no, he said what. Michael Cole said what because
he understood. And then Pat McAfee drunkenly tried to explain
the joke and Michael Cole's like yeah, and she just
fucking moves on.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Pat McAfee's like, yeah, he wantched that got girl or
mid checks to his mouth. Michael was like, yeah, I'm
not a fucking moron. Yeah, but like you get it.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Yeah, that's what he was doing. I'm telling you, man, Pat.
I think Pat was fucking trash tonight. Oh my god, dude, really.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
See what happened? She got butt butt hanging out, hanging
out You're like, yeah, oh.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
There was some serious cheek, man, There was some serious
cheek on both girls tonight. I know Stephanie uh Dan
uh the guy who runs our YouTube if you haven't
known for a while, but yeah, Dan was pointing out
that to Stephanie's whole cheeks were just out in the.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Wind there, oh dude.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
And EO got a little too when she started taking
off her knee pads and we got to see her knees. Well,
we got to see her knees. There was a point
where she did like the bulldog thing, and then she
got kind of like a weggie, so you saw full
leg knees and weggie and yeah, cake, so much cake.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
You see, folks, this is the analysis and a' analysis
that you're tuned in for. No, yeah, Stephanie's ash.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
N I was laughing.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
I said to the business, I go, I can't believe
they let her ever ask out that much. I'm like,
my god, I'm like, it's ninety eight percent out.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Oh yeah, they're a lot. There was a lot of motion.
There's a lot of motion. Yeah, for sure. Her ass
is just completely as dangling. No one's sitting there going.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Oh what, like, dude, the camera work, Like I was
laughing because I'm watching the camera cuts because every single time,
every single time where the camera is just completely oh
my way, because they're like, oh my god, they're so worried.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
Those camera guys must have been feeling a little awkward
at times. It's like, what are we actually filming here? Guys, Like.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
I know, well, at the same time, they're going, we
gotta we can't work around this completely right right, It's
like it's it was like, all right, listen, you're gonna
film this naked bike ride, but don't show any dicks
or tits or ass.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
But let me ask you this before we got to
like all the sexual stuff. Do you think that these
type of matches, right, like these kind of pseudo Joshi matches,
if the fans are repeated to more of it could
become a dominant thing as far as the women's division goes.
Or do you think that the WWE formula of stick
with what works is kind of what's just going to resid.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
There's only a few of them that can really do
this kind of stuff, you know, Like we got to
remember that, like, like I said, they made poor aj
follow this you know, great, No, no, that was I mean,
we'll get to we'll talk about that was, but like
you know, that's a hard thing to find. We're like, well, yeah,
AJ Strike you know, are slappy or like slap happy,

(49:50):
the slap flaps. It's like, yeah, that's not going to
look as good as these two like crazy, super fucking
snug women's athletes right matched ten minutes earlier. But you
know it also wasn't supposed to because it was supposed
to be. Yeah, there were some good ajs. Sorry, yeah, no,
I'm just saying, like it's supposed to be. Like she's
AJ's like pissed off and just wanted to beat the

(50:12):
shit out of Becky. So right, it's different, but it's
coming off of these two women really really working hard.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Yes, absolutely, I there was a couple of moves. I
really enjoyed the h when the crowd woke up after
Stephanie's cross body to the outside, they kind of woke
up there and Stephanie, Uh, the Stephanie kickout into EO's
cross face was smooth. It was buttery smooth because she
just like pops her shoulder up, her arm goes up

(50:42):
and EO's like cross face, and I was I just
didn't expect it. It was just really really well performed. I
really got into this. Both those dragon screws on the
ropes looked fucking just that great selling. What great selling?

Speaker 1 (50:56):
I was like, hey, that girl, And still, nonetheless, no
matter how good of a match this was, it still
wasn't too fucking long. They still were they were still
teetering on out of wearing their welcome.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
And then and it was stuff. He broke out that
new finisher, the spiral tap or whatever. That was nice.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Yeah. The people they were like, holy shit, they didn't
see that one coming. So no, it was fucking good.
It was a really really good match. Just probably could
have been five minutes shorter and it would have been fine.
You know, it's even three minutes shorter. Fine.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Honestly, so far, this was probably my favorite match, even
though I really loved John Cena and brock Lesnar. This
was this, This was fun. But yeah, no, and then
we go on to uh, a couple of aliens coming
out there wearing their purple purple weird suit.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
With large smarts attacks to the wrestling.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Coming to the newest latest new metal drop or Emo
drop or something that they've played at Lollapalooza this year. Yeah,
Becky and Seth came out dressed in grape robes. Oh yeah,
I saw that.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
I'm watching them in those outfits and I'm just going,
these two are so annoying, and if you remove these
two that are so fucking charismatic for them to wrestle.
It ain't working. It's not gonna work. Like at this point, Seth,
We're just gonna have to deal with it is what

(52:31):
the fuck it is. And Becky, clearly, we're just gonna
have to put up with her and whatever the fuck
it is. But this was floated completely by the fact
that Punk was out there. Punk was out there looking
like baby faced Jake Snake Roberts.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Yeah, he was looking like that one guy and that
do you remember that show Heels. He was looking like
that one guy in the show Heels.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Oh, Steve a male or whatever his name is or
see a Pond whatever, Yes, of course, well no, but
it's like he was. His work in this was exceptional.
Aj did as good as someone could, especially when you
consider that she hasn't done anything wrestling related in a decade.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
You know, there was well for yeah that look, you
have to give miles of credit to the production team
hiding the flaws of aj Lee. You have to. There
was a lot of light slaps things that did not
connect with Becky from aj Lee that the cameras immediately

(53:41):
caught on to by the by the by the millisecond
and switched camera angles and I was like, Wow, very smart.
They are on top of this. I'm sure the live
audience probably saw it obviously, but as far as what
I was watching on Netflix, it was very very But
I wasn't so one of the negative parts of the

(54:02):
match I didn't like. I was not a fan of Becky,
especially in the beginning, smacking Punk and punching him in
the stomach like multiple times, and him just not reacting
at all. Now I'm not saying that he needed to
fall to his knees and start crying or nothing like that,
but there was just this weird time until we got
to later in the match, right, which made a lot

(54:23):
more sense at that point. But in the beginning it
was just like he was just Becky was completely ineffective,
and I didn't like that.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
I don't know, Oh, I kind of like the idea of, well,
she has one hundred and two pounds match, yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
But she should still be annoying, right, because aj Lee
is one hundred and two pounds and she was doing
the razzies on the back of Seth's head and he
was annoyed and flustered and dazed like he was at
least responding to aj Lee. It was weird to say
that Seth did something better as a character than Punk did,
but here we are well.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
I mean I said there was no way that they
were going to do better than they did in this match.
I mean whatever anybody wants to tell you. And I'm
seeing people in the chat. Somebody's saying, like people on
X which whatever are I understand what they were? They dated,
they thought it sucked. Well, people on X fuck it suck.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Yeah, they're right, but they're reading too deeply into it, right,
And I don't mean suck. I think that's just a
blanket term. But if you're trying to say that aj
Lee wasn't the same aj Lee that she was ten
plus years ago or whatever, you're right she's not. And
it was a lot of camera movements and a lot
of positioning that protected her and made her look so

(55:40):
effective against Becky. It was absolutely the show part of
it that was protecting aj Lee. I think as far
as Seth and CM Punk went, that was fine. They're
back and forth, was fine, But the real story in
this match to me was aj Lee versus Becky. That's
why they did the fake the tag where she actually
axim Punk, but Becky ran in and distracted Jessica Carr

(56:03):
who didn't see anything happen, and then the crowd completely
deflated and started booing because then they started teaming up
on CM punk like they knew what they were doing,
and the story was to see a j Lee finally
get her hands on Becky Lynch. Well, that and seeing
Seth smash aj Lee on the dropper on her face,

(56:24):
which was yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Dude, I feel weird in this moment, having to like
the inclination to defend this match from people who don't
fucking know what they're talking about. It's just it's interesting
to me because there's so many people now that have
been raised with wrestling as something so different than what
I remember it as and what it's actually been for decades,

(56:48):
and what it was when it was actually like successful
as a form of entertainment, not as like a means
of financially extracting from fucking you know dictators. Uh that
when someone would go, well, there's a stupid and it
didn't make sense and I don't understand. I don't understand,
and like, what what is what was the confusion about

(57:10):
this guys?

Speaker 2 (57:10):
It was a lot Yeah, throws it in here, but
I definitely want to point this out. He's like, we
give her a little grace because of the time off,
but if she's still like this in a couple of
months from now, we've got a problem. I agree, this
was her first big match back. Can we can we
dial back the scrutiny, the scrutinization just a little.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
You know why she's getting scrutinized because she's attached to
punk who is attached to a w and nobody says
good that. That's the audience that we're talking about here, right,
Those are the people that are upset about this because
they perceive wrestling, And after we just praised the match
that happened prior, it's not like we're against this idea

(57:51):
of women having hard hitting matches. There guys going out
there and brawling and beating the shit out of each
other and having but that kind of fucking tough, actual
legitimate looking fighting or whatever. Yeah, but a lot of
the wrestling that these people like isn't that. Yeah, it's
one hundred and forty pound Daniel Garcia having fucking twink
roll arounds with fucking hook Well, it's just what wrestling age.

(58:16):
It's like, No, it's not get fucking moron.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
You know you kind of pointed it out though. We
just got done having this crazy technical match with two
gorgeous women, Yoska and stephaniever veck Becher whatever. This gorgeous,
this gorgeous match, technical Marigold style match, and that was
for those types of fans. This was a storyline. I

(58:40):
was not expecting this match to be technical. I was
not expecting this, you know, Chris ben Wah versus Lion
Heart Lionel Chris Jeitako, Like, I wasn't expecting that level
of a match in this and I don't think that's
what they were intending it to do. This storyline has
been built up just to see you, Like you said

(59:02):
even earlier, aj Lee get her turn to take it
out on Becky and stuff. Look, there was more than
a few occasions that I thought this match was a
little slow, like in the odd direction. Actually, I had
a couple of problems with Jessica Carr. I don't think
she was the right ref for this.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Well, I was gonna get to that. I think I
knew that something was gonna be happening in the main
event that required a referee that knew what they were doing.
When my boy Ryan Tran was out there, right because
I know that he's the best ref they have who's
under the age of fifty basically, But whenever they have
that girl Jessica there, it's just her to stand there

(59:44):
with the ponytail and look constipated.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Well, dude, I didn't know who the legal man was.
She's over here doing the pen count for Seth and
then all of a sudden it flips over there for
Becky and aj and it's like, well, who's the legal man.
You're sitting there counting everybody you know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Like, yeah, she's not particularly good and listen, I hate
to I don't often say that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Well, if anybody can, it's you do it, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
But it sounds like sour grapes kind of shit. Like
I I was like, believe me, I want nothing to
do with it. But no, thanks, no thank you. The
only rough and wrestling. I don't want to do that match. Yeah, no,
thank you. Hey man, you want to go to fucking Saudi,
No thank you, no thanks. You know, hey man, you
want to be in go to front No, no, I

(01:00:36):
don't want to do any of that ship. So I'm
too fucking old. Maybe maybe twenty years ago, I would
have been pumped. But uh, I just see that, and yeah,
these little things matter obviously. But everybody involved in this
match did a really fucking good job, all right, And
anybody that knows my rampant criticism of sas, that's if

(01:00:59):
I don't. I don't handout praise for Seth rollins very
easily or lightly.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
No, it's looked good even taking you know, even taking
the A J Lee octopus or whatever. That was great.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
Yeah, like him doing the little skip around the ring,
and I think I said that, Yeah, yeah, I think
I said that to you guys earlier in the match too,
where I go and you know, this is how this
is going to go. Becky's gonna keep needling and hitting
Punk and I go at the moment that you know,
aj hits him with like a fucking hurricane RNA, this
place is going to blow. Now, we're going to lose

(01:01:32):
their mind, and they did. They were fucking pumped.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Let's get to the the end of the match. Right
there was the weird and I do mean weird table
double table, table to table, double woman double man spot.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Yeah, once again, this it went too long. They tried
to do too much stuff. I mean, this is the
it similarly to the prior match. For the previous match,
it ran the risk of outstaying. It's welcome. They got
to be people back, like, I'm not sitting there saying
like it ended in the everything.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
Oh yeah, Becky out was great, that's how you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
That was great? Yeah, but that was it. It was
like there were points where I'm sitting there going, Okay,
that's it right, Like we're getting into the territory of
where we're gonna get the people blown out and they're
not gonna want to fucking react anymore. We're like, all right,
you've gone to this false finish well a couple too
many times. But yeah, it was a really fucking good

(01:02:28):
entertaining match. We had told a great story. There were
some fun spot. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
I love the Shandam spots. I think both both of them,
both couples did little good tandem moments together. When Seth
and Becky were on the same page with the pedigree.
They even hit it hit the mat at the same time.
I'm like, wow, it's like they practiced this or something.
It was good.

Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
It was good him doing obviously everybody, I feel like
it's going to bring the spot up because it was
so simple but so great. That's old Southern wrestling. Like
the set and Becky thing where he pressed her over
his head dropped her. That is old. That is nineteen
seventies heels thinking they're gonna we got a good plan

(01:03:12):
and they dropped them on his face. Oh no, that's yeah,
that's hilarious old, like just old school wrestling. Shit that
if you kind of know what storytelling is in a match,
you enjoy that and you go, oh, that was that
was clever. You dusted that one off. I bet you that. Well.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
The fact that he used his wife made it even
more fun, right, and she missed and I'm like, oh,
that's great. He just dropped as well.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Why I'm telling you that either came from Michael Hayes
or the mind of punk saying Tracy Smothers, this one's
for you. Yeah, because that's old school Southern tag team wrestling.
I love that. I fucking love that. But I mean,
once again, like, it's not it's not Daniel Garcia wrapping
somebody in a pretzel. You know, So some of these

(01:04:01):
fucking idiots think that the wrestling I know, yeah, you
mean the one that draws no money.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
Fum JF bleeding from the junk. I mean that's what
the alternate show was.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
So, you know, he ripped off his deco's mast and
made him bleed. Okay, I enjoy that, you dorks fun.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
So after this wonderful match, we had a surprise Taker
and Stephanie McMahon appearances. The big news being that Taker
finally tells Stephanie that she's going into the Hall of Fame.
She's the first to be announced to be inducted into
the twenty twenty six What year are we in? Twenty
twenty seven, twenty twenty six?

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
What year are we in? What this hellscape we live
in that just keeps rolling on? What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
What is it? I actually thought it was going to
be a podcast thing. I was so fucking dumb. I
was not thinking the Hall of Fame right off the bat.
I'm like, Oh, it's Undertaker and Stephanie McMahon going to
do a joint podcast. That was little the first thing
I thought. I'm like, Oh, they're gonna have some kind
of special crossover episode where she does Undertaker's podcast. But

(01:05:07):
at the same time, it's Undertaker doing What's Your Story
with Stephanie McMahon and Yeah, no, she's just getting into
the Hall of Fame. But that was kind of a
sweet moment. She she did look little girlish there. I
like Stephanie's reactions to things. You could definitely tell she's
mom first these days as opposed to being in character.
And she really did kind of light up and it

(01:05:27):
was a nice, little touching moment for stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
And do you know how funny it would have been
if the Undertaker just kind of been I mean, he's
not gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Say that because he's get in my limo stuff. Yeah, yeah, well, no, like.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
Him just being like, yeah, we're gonna put you in
the Hall of Fame this year because we clearly can't
push it in the next year. We'reout to give prices
to women for success. You do not give ay, why
did she get the price for her mother being being
being mother? She don't get priced for that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
But your excellency, she's been working there ever since she
was fifteen years old.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
Oh too old. It's too old to work her old.
She should be six. She should start working when she
has six years old time. I mean, what is she
going to do otherwise? Go learn to read?

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
Drive a car?

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Oh? I want to read? Oh? I want to drive car.
What is this? Uh yeah, no, dude, whatever, I mean,
like I said, it's so fun. I do you know
how shit happens where you go? People just blow their
gimmicks and it doesn't even like have to be wrestling whatever.

(01:06:43):
It could be music, right, Like you know, everybody's made
the million jokes about Metallica blow and their gimmicks, and
you know they oh, they cut their hair or like
there's a picture of James Heffield walking around with like
a gift bag from Gucci and I'm like, yeah, you're
not fucking fucking fuck off, James Efis. We're done.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
But watching the Undertaker absolutely spread cheeks for the fucking saddies,
I'm like, I can't. I can't take him fucking seriously anymore.
I know he's like this.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Is an old man now. It's it's if you're looking
at the Undertaker in twenty twenty five and expecting the
mystique of nineteen ninety four, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Here, come on, I know, I mean he also had
an eyebrow.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
It' old.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
I remember that, you know, I don't know, but I'm like,
once again, like the Undertaker had an eyebrow ring and
I'm expecting him to still be tough. I mean it is.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
He wears it on LFG too, so.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
He wears it. He still wears the eyebrow ring.

Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
Yeah, I think he does. I think I've seen him
out there before with that, like that's so funny. He
did really well this past week. If you guys didn't
hear Lucisto and Jeff f Lipman did the LFG show
available on our feed. But yeah, that LFG show, Undertaker
really does a good job. It is refreshing to listen
to him and Bubba. I definitely. I would have to

(01:07:58):
say my favorite too are Bubba and Undertaker. And I
didn't think of it that way before. I always thought
it was going to be Booker t and Undertaker. But
Bubba has some hard life lessons for people, Like he
comes off as kind of a dick, but then it's like, oh,
there's a purpose to it, like he's not completely just
aimless or dumb. Like Bubba understands things. But yeah, Undertaker

(01:08:19):
is is a delight? Is it a positive delight on
the show? So yeah, I mean I get it. I mean,
I know, like Bobar Ray Dudley, he's like that kind
of guy. It's like, don't make the same mistakes I did, right,
And it's like, what mistakes of those? And he's like
nine nine, I made no mistakes, but don't make the

(01:08:40):
same mistakes I did. Well. Speaking of mistakes, we had
Cody Rhodes versus Drew McIntyre and the only reason I
say it's a mistake was because I was so tired.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
At this point. Everyone was burnt out by this.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
I'm like, I can't believe it. We're only three natches
in and I'm like, I'm ready to call it tonight.
And not because I wasn't enjoying myself or four matches, sorry,
but not because I really wasn't enjoying myself. It's just
everything felt so low, so low, it took forever for
anything to happen, right, It's in a way that was

(01:09:17):
typical for w w W. But also at the same time,
there was some shit that was so good. I mean,
the fact that those two matches were back to back,
the women's title match and then the tag match. Yeah,
you could have given me that and I would have
been like, that was enough wrestling for me tonight, right, Oh,
I needed to see, like, just as a person that

(01:09:39):
you know, I'm sure that that sounds crazy to somebody
that you know they can't wait to watch twelve match
cards where nine of the matches are the same redundant bullshit.
But to me, I'm like, I got two women that
are really good workers, that are easy on the eyes,
having a fucking crazy good match. Awesome this, I had

(01:10:00):
a meaningful tag match with you know, one of the
a returning big star and one of the biggest stars
in wrestling. Great, fucking I'm into it. I'll take it,
I was gonna say, because I mean, if you would
have gotten rid of the vision versus the USO's match,
this would have been a perfect pay per view my opinion,
I really enjoyed it that much. That tag match slowed

(01:10:21):
everything down. That was an additional thirty five minutes. It
felt like just so long rush.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
I mean, it's crazy to say it, Mish, but I
mean the pay per view itself was just clearly missing.
I don't know, maybe like a five foot tall Irish
girl that uh.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Oh, I thought you were going to say a five
foot two irishman and a six foot six half Japanese
guy because I was, oh, and I wouldn't have been
drunk either.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Excuse me, I'm a big boy. No, no, I mean,
where where's Burg? Where's bird Girl? I can't believe that
he didn't fucking ham Fister onto the show. Are they
finally putting together? You think that they're like, she's just kind.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Of she's in our hearts, Joe. I'm putting up her
picture right now on my avatar just for you. She's
in her heart.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
She's sitting on eggs right now. Don't be insensitive, dude.
That's it. Like her and Naomi are just having conversations
of what to do when you're expecting.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
Yeah, exactly, egg Roll's right. Where was Bailey's ten personalities do?
There was a lot of people they could have shoehorned
into this thing, But yeah, I think the usso's match,
especially with the La Knight stuff too, that was just
a lot to throw in there, extended everything. I don't
think we needed it. If we ended with Drew mecintyre
versus Cody Rhodes for the night, I would have been

(01:11:43):
fine with which we did, But I mean without that
tag match, I was already kind of mellowed out on
this match. It was fine. There was nothing great about it.
I mean, what was really the standout moment in this.

Speaker 1 (01:11:56):
Match, uh when it ends?

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
Did really?

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
No one cares. I mean I feel bad. I feel
bit dude, this is the championship match and it's like,
no one cares.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
I like both of these guys. I like McIntyre. I
really think that he's had a resurgence as a character
as a wrestler since the COVID era. You know, he's
a completely different guy now, and I think he deserves
a lot more tension and respect, and I don't think
he really gets it now. And I don't mean that
necessarily in storyline, but I think the guy. It's a

(01:12:32):
weird thing to say, especially because of how poor his
COVID Era run was. But I don't know if I
would mind seeing Drew with the title. I don't know
if I would necessarily feel bad about that, not because
Cody Rhodes is a failure in any way, but Cody
is better chasing the title than being the champion. Look,

(01:12:54):
there were some points of this match, like obviously when
the exposed turnbuckle happened, and then the referee stepping in
and stuff. That was fine, but overall this felt very generic.
Drew McIntyre never felt like a winner to me, Like
he felt like he was going to lose this match
right off the gut. And I feel like WWE doesn't
do a good job when you can predict what a

(01:13:16):
match is from a mile away without even saying it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
Well, that was I think the story they were trying
to tell without saying it out loud, because now it's
on ESPN where they wanted to be, like Cody has
a cockock coo coocushion or something. That was sort of
the vibe that they were going with because he took
the kick through the deal or whatever. But I feel
bad because Cody does try to tell stories in his matches.

(01:13:41):
He clearly tries to set up something this inter but
it's it's just not interesting as a main event. After
a night of all the shit that happened, I.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
Think if Rock could have been given another million dollars,
they should have ended the night with John Cena versus
Brock Lesnard. That would have made me happy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
I love the idea of being like Brock, you have
to stay here till ten o'clock at night and he's like,
the fuck I do?

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Have you seen my chest cock?

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Yeah? Yeah? Look, I like the idea of somebody saying
they have to stay somewhere until ten o'clock at night
for seven figures, and they're like, just fuck bullshit.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
Just kicking backstage.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
Yeah, it's backstage, fucking a man, What the fuck is
this fucking ridiculous? Man.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
I wouldn't have had to do this if Vince was around.

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
Vince would have let me walk right in and walk
right out with a million dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Now this is where, like I said, WWE's in this
position where I watched the show sometimes and I go
there's a feeling of it's like a vibe of a
paid show, like an indie paid show, which I don't
know if this is the thing that a lot of
people heard of, but like, you know, a show will

(01:15:01):
get sponsored by whatever, a fire department, a police athletic,
Papa John's by yes, yeah, you know, like Papa John's
is like, hey, you know, we got caught in the
ied word a bunch again. What if we do a
wrestling show? And they're like, I don't know how that'll
work for you, Papa, but we'll give it a go.
But like, like paid indie shows used to be back

(01:15:22):
in the day where somebody would say hey, we're doing
a fundraiser. We'll give you a five grand and you know,
flat rate. You book the show, we'll take all the
money this race for r YadA, YadA, YadA. So it's
just a show of matches that people are like, hey,
I gives a fuck. Good matter, right, you got our money.
Crowd shows up one way or the other. Great. You know,
you get that feeling from like half of a ww

(01:15:45):
RE card and then the other half it's like it's
trying to take itself seriously.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Yeah, no, that's literally what it was tonight. It really
was like that Whoso's match was absolutely an indie match
with everybody involved and everybody grabbing tables and chairs and
everything else like that, and outside the ring it was
it was shindy, you know, it's that's what it was. Well,
I mean, but then you have like the couple versus

(01:16:12):
couple match that involved an intricate storyline, weeks of prodding
the return of somebody that people have speculated wouldn't return
to wrestling for a very long time, and all of
a sudden, you know, people are finding that to be distasteful.
I think it's real difficult when you have an audience
that's completely fickle, and you have a booking or a

(01:16:33):
creative team that really isn't sure what's important to fans
and what isn't Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
I mean, this is what happens when once again the
ninety percent of the company's purpose is just to find
a way to extract money from people with that, and.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
I feel like, don't you feel like that that's more
TKO's goal, and WWE is just treading water trying to
figure it out. Like I almost feel like it's two
different companies running WWE. Right, you have WWE being run
by Triple H, who wants to, you know, still carry
on the legacy of what WWE meant to him and
obviously working underneath the shadow of Vince McMahon. And then

(01:17:08):
he's also partnered up with Nick Kahan and all these
other people, et cetera, et cetera, and he's still with Stephanie.
And then you have TKO that's looking at WWE as
an easy flip while they have UFC in their other pocket.
And it's like it's it's this weird thing of money, money, money, money,
money versus can we, uh, can we make something comprehendible

(01:17:29):
for people?

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
You know, like dude, going back to the commercial where
they had Triple H standing on the roof saying the
COSI look how successful we work and just call.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
Me an asshole, Joe, you don't have to bury me
like that. Jeez.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
No, no, but I'm saying, like like that commercial, right
him standing on the roof, being like, look at oh
successfully are on the same night where they're literally prying
your mouth and spitting in it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
I know, I know, you know. It's a company, Toller WWE.
It's its final four. WWE's bipolar, its final fuck it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
I love. I love the idea of to be like this,
this is our final form. When we're like, so you're
gonna soparising the prices, they're like, not like that, not
like that. I mean it's the same way that people
sat around from like twenty fifty so sadly today where

(01:18:26):
they're like, eventually the housing market's gonna crash, right, but no, no,
that's never gonna happen. You're like, WW is gonna cut
the price now, No, they're not. They're just gonna keep
jacking up the prices. They're gonna make every doll they can,
and then they're gonna sell the Prince ali Ababa there
and uh yeah, they're gonna strip ww of old's value,

(01:18:47):
So stay invested because I don't know what the shit's
going to look like in three to five years.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
Well Cody retains the title, and yeah, that's pretty much
Prince Cody. Yes, Excellency Cody.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Our excellency Cody.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
Joe, it's that time of the night's favorite match least
favorite match overall grade of Russell Pluza twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
Well, I would have to say it would be a
tough pick for the favorite because it's between two matches,
but I would take the tag just simply because the
number of stories that were being told in it and
the shit that was being paid off in it. And
like people, well, Adre slaps didn't look great or whatever.

(01:19:33):
It's like, hey, guys, fucking shut up. I mean really
like j slaps didn't look good. Ninety percent of the
wrestling we see on TV at this point looks like
the phoniest shit ever. Give her. I don't what, give
her a second, dude, She's give a minute. She just
not Nicky Bella. She's not Nicky Bella. You can't.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
I don't know. I think people are just quick to judge, right,
like seeing Nicki Bella come out there and do the
same shtick barely. You know, it's like, it's nicky, that's
what you expect, right when Tris Stratus comes back, she's impressive.
She's always impressive. AJ, can we just give her a minute?
Can we give her some breathing room? I'm sorry, man, yeah,
go on, go on.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
Well no, it's also funny to me too, because people
are like, well, this didn't look good or whatever. I'm like,
it was over. People were happy. The crowd was cheering,
you know what I mean, Like, do you know how
many matches I've watched that were like guys and biker
shorts and kick pads trying to do all the fucking

(01:20:37):
ring of honor shit. Yeah, and the crowd is sitting
there like with their thumbs and their fucking noses because
they don't care, Like it's not just about who's doing
the snuggest kicks and punches and shit, it's what's over.
What are people emotionally invested in? What do they care about?
And I'm sure somebody would go, like you mentioned Nicki Bella,

(01:20:58):
Well you don't give Nicky bella pad. First of all,
she was nowhere in the vicinity of as bad as
Nicky Bella has ever been.

Speaker 2 (01:21:04):
Nowhere in Nicki Bella's best wasn't ever better than what
AJ put out there tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
No, Yeah, like she did, A great treasure was there
for all her spots. Once again, did it look like
a fucking super snow? Is she gonna look like Ria
Ripley in the ring? No? Come on, we wis. It's
unfair and it's ridiculous to expect her it look that way.
But the match itself great story once again. Can't fucking

(01:21:32):
stand seth Rawlins cannot stand him. Has thought pretty much
everything he's done for quite some time was complete dogshit.
And I'm giving this the best match of the night
because I think it was that good of a story,
and I thought it had that much of a payoff,
and it was that fun. Least favorites sheesus christ. I

(01:21:54):
know this is going to be sacrilegious to you, but
I think that it was the thing with Sina, just
because I think that people needed to walk away from
paying one thousand dollars or thirty dollars for a pay
per view. If you paid thirty dollars to that pay
per view, in the first half an hour, it was
John Cena getting his cock kicked in, and you're like, well, great, cool,

(01:22:14):
glad I paid.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
That money for that. I'm see. But I have like
a death fetish, so it's.

Speaker 1 (01:22:20):
You know, you're like, well you got to see. You know. Sometimes,
like like the movie Saw, you're cheering for the people.
Sometimes I'm cheering for the puppet. That's right, that's right.
I have for a Freddy over any of the campers. Hell,
you're you're like, hell Raiser, He's pretty cool. Yeah, I'm

(01:22:42):
a kind of guy. Yeah, he's like, I am a salad.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
I do man. I understand that most people are supposed
to hate brock lesnar and everything that he stands for,
but his matches where he just destroys John Cena tickle me.
I just I thoroughly enjoy them. I'm going to miss
them when John Ceno's gone or comes back in Saudi Arabia, whatever, but.

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
Yeah, some screw or when he comes back in Saudi Arabia,
it's five million dollars. The show itself was fine. I'd
give it like a fucking beat minus somewhere in there.
You know, it's just the only the biggest thing that
it suffers from is everything being dragged out. The entrance
is taking an eternity. It's just so fucking long. If

(01:23:28):
we were watching this tomorrow and we can fast forward
through this fucking all these breaks and ads and shit,
we'd be like, that was an amazing show.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
Yeah, well they to death. They beat you to death
with the filler. If you're smart, you don't watch these
pls live. You literally wait an hour and then you
start it and you can get through everything and fast
forward the commercials and the bullshit and have a much
more pleasant experience. I'm serious. I think it was probably

(01:23:59):
close to an eye hour of filler on this entire show.
I mean, I can go back probably Thursday we could
talk about her, maybe even Tuesday on the post raw show.
But I bet if I actually do the time, it
was probably an hour worth of crap real quick. And
for two says the feed was perfect for me on
the app shrugs. Look, it might have been. I just

(01:24:22):
saw the people complaining about it. And it's not like
WWE hasn't had problems when they go over to new networks,
And it's not necessarily WWE's fault because Netflix had the
same feed and Netflix was flawless, So I think it
might have just been ESPN working out whatever kinks they
have on their side of the things. So but yeah,

(01:24:43):
I'm glad. I'm glad that it worked out for you. Kudos.
Nick Nema fan for five said Vince didn't even want
to be thanked, that the Hall of Fame triplah wants
everybody to blow him twenty four to seven. Wow, that's
he's got a lot of stamina at this age. Uh
fuck it, give me old Weirdo Beck charge over Scrooge McDuck.

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
Yeah, I mean, I know, imagine, imagine being being so
greedy that Vince looks like a philanthropy.

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
I know, he looks like.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
A philanthropist compared to these people, where Vince's idea was
just like, hey, what if we don't completely rip them
off right right? Like Wow, Vince, you're like fucking You're
like mother Teresa over here? Whoa Carl Marx?

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
You know, isn't that weird? I've been seeing people praise
Vince lately, after seeing the Shapiro comments and the new
direction that TKO has with their ticket sales and stuff.
It's weird to hear people kind of going, man, I
miss the days when Vince wanted families to show up
at a reasonable price. You know, it's just.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
Well, that's that also goes back to like how fucked
everything is to some extent because it's just across the
board where if you'd have told people where you're like, hey,
listen this the grocery store is ran by a shark
that roams through the streets and murders people. And they're like,

(01:26:13):
what movie.

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
We want to check it out. I want to root
for the back.

Speaker 1 (01:26:19):
Like eat that kid, eat them, eat them, eat them.
Uh yeah, no, Like if they really listen, as a
shark that owned the grocery store and he would roam
the streets murdering people and eating them. But you know what,
fucking food was cheap, you know what I mean, Like
we were able to keep the prices down when the
shark was eating everybody. And they're like, yeah, but now
we got to take it over by this new guy,

(01:26:40):
and it's like things are ten times as expensive. A
lot of people would be like kind of missed the shark. Yeah,
that's how bad shit is. They'd be like, yeah, but
the shark is like the sharks eating our friends and
families and They're like, yeah, but it's fucking nine dollars
for a jarf pickles.

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
So I'm gonna go with my favorite. Least favorite favorite
match of the night for me easily was EO versus Stephanie.
I thought, overall, this was a nice refreshing change. The
women's title seems to mean things. I mean, even the
matches that Naomi was having before she announced her pregnancy
or was amazing, like she completely redeveloped her character. Her

(01:27:20):
matches were great. I think they're really starting to elevate
this pelt and kind of make it a must watch
for women's wrestling fans, and I'm kind of happy that
it's taken this new direction, and now with potentially aj
Lee signing a multi year contract too in the future,
i'd like to see her mix it up with some
of these people. But yeah, I really enjoyed EO versus Stephanie.

(01:27:41):
I got to see a little Knie, so I'm a
happy guy, a little Stephanie, a little Stephanie. And least
favorite match, I hate to say it, Drew mecintyre and
Cody Rhodes for a title match and a main event,
and it meant nothing. It didn't feel like there was

(01:28:04):
enough there. This is the most important title in the company,
right or at least arguably with the most important title
in the company, And when you can see what's going
to happen from a mile away, it devalues it for me.
It's like, this is why people are plunking down zeros
for these tickets is to see this main event match.

(01:28:27):
And even though the match was fine, there was nothing
inherently wrong with it, it didn't deliver the excitement. I
was more excited for the rest of the card. And
I'm saying this over all the crap that I've been
talking about the tag team match with the vision, and
it's not because I don't enjoy the tag team match.
I just thought it was so much extra that we
didn't need tonight for Russell Palooza, But the main event

(01:28:49):
fell felt flat.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
Yeah, our main event was the popcorn match. How do
you do that?

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Honey?

Speaker 1 (01:28:55):
How'd you fuck that up that bad?

Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
So I'm not crazy when I say that, right, Like
you wonder standing where I'm coming from. It's like, this
is what I'm supposed to be paying for. This is
the blood match, this is your hype match, and it's
like I didn't care. If you would have shut it
off after aj Lee and Punk versus Seth and Becky,
I think I'd have been okay.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
I think I would completely understand if people did. If
watching this back they were like, eh, I was good.
It was enough for me. I'd get it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:24):
Overall, I would say it was absolutely a B plus
of a night. I think it was. You know, I'll
even be nice. I'll give it an A minus, an
a minus even with those two stinkerreos of matches, because
I think the highs of EO and the highs of
the couple versus couple match, and my personal enjoyment of
watching brock Lesner murder johnsena in front of children, I

(01:29:47):
just I have to give it an A. It was.
It was good fun for me. I wish I was
in Indianapolis. I would have really enjoyed myself.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
Did you see the scores up from our YouTube? The
polls there? Oh, what are the polls? So the poles?
Let's so it was, how are you watching Wrestle Paluza tonight?
We got the scores in from that. I mean this
is early polling. If you're watching on the YouTube, make
sure you sub and we put polls up occasionally during
the pay per view, so check it out. So it said,

(01:30:14):
how how are you watching WWE Wrestle Bealoosa? And with
fifty one percent we have not watching.

Speaker 2 (01:30:22):
Oh that's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
That's rough. The next winner at twenty two percent is
it's a pirate's life for me. Nineteen percent of the
ESPN app so that's not bad. And number or nine
percent we got a VPN, so.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
Hey, the VPN works. Look, I think she still has
their promotion going on. I know it's kind of been
a gag on the show for a while, but even
before other people were mentioning it. But the code is, Steph,
it's like fifty bucks a year for two years. I
mean there's other VPNs too. I saw I threw it
out there earlier. Somebody was mentioning the free VPN surface too,

(01:30:58):
but I don't know how reliable though are. But yeah, man, like, look,
just get a VPN. It's it's too late in the
day to not have one at this point. It's weird
not to so surf Shark Stephanie or Steph.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
I love the idea where.

Speaker 2 (01:31:15):
We're plugging somebody else's money.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
Yeah, I mean, listen, Stephanie's hard up right take help
her out.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
But dude, it's it's really weird that why would you
spend thirty some people spending sixty bucks to watch this
thing tonight when you could literally break it down to
fifty bucks in a year. But that's what the hell
are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:31:34):
And the unfortunate thing is it takes just enough, know
how for some people where they're just going, and that's
where you get fifty watching you know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
