Speaker 1:

The Power of the Power of the Power of the Power of oh man, are we excited for what we just saw on WrestleMania night one? When I tell you that had me screaming, hollering, yelling everything, voice lost almost. I'm just saying I was excited, oh my goodness. And after that main event, oh Lord, have mercy. You know something no matter how long the Rock has been away from the business, he still has it, he still brings it, he brings the energy, the magic and just everything from the Attitude Era all the way up to now. But it's your boy, damon. I'm here with the DK and Dream Podcast. Listen, whoever watched WrestleMania, comment, please comment. Tell me what was your biggest highlights, what was your biggest, what was your favorite moments? Listen now, I miss mommy and um Becky Lynch. I miss that match because I was asleep. But, man, I woke up doing that ladder match and whoo, when I did. But um, there was. It seemed like there was a lot of mommy fans up there in Philly, hey, so you mommy fans was just in full effect up there in Philly. Hey, I saw you, mommy fans was just in full effect up there. Listen, I love this time of year. I love this time of year. Wrestlemania. It's exciting, it's just great. Oh man, like I said, I saw the highlights of mommy and Becky Lynch and look like mommy going to be rolling with that title for a little bit longer because she was done, going shore ready to rep and, like I said, philly was riding behind her. But, like I said, I was just too, too excited about. I was very, very excited. Like I said, this is my favorite time of year Wrestlemania because they definitely gonna give us a show and they gave us a show tonight from beginning all the way up to the end. Now I really like the way they're telling this story because it's Cody going to finish his story or not. I mean it was just so much that we can just dive into with just WrestleMania period period Shoot, let's go to the ladder match.

Speaker 1:

I mean I'm glad and I'm happy they split these titles back up. They should have been split to begin with. Now I think we need to redesign the titles now also, since they split. But what y'all think about Grayson Waller and Austin theory are now the Smackdown tag team champions and I kind of figured truth and Miz was gonna win one of them titles, but they won the war raw tag team titles. But listen, just the action in that match whatsoever. You know Grayson good winning the titles, then he gets put through a ladder my goodness, jd McDonough jumping in the match trying to help him batter and he gets put through a table by the New Day. Listen, from beginning to end, it was just action packed.

Speaker 1:

But I love ladder matches because that just brings out the best in anyone. And I had to give it to the New Day because the New Day can make anybody elevate their game or be special. I give it up to every last contender. I actually wanted DIY to win one of those titles you know up and coming because simple fact that you know they need to push some of these newer talents. But hey, they gave need to push some of these newer talents, but hey, they gave it a theory and a wall or so. Okay, hey, we can't win them all, but I kind of figured that truth was going to win something anyway, especially with him being in there with the judgment day. So, hey, that's just redemption against him with the judgment day, which is great.

Speaker 1:

I love it, I love it, I love it. I've loved every bit of it. I loved every bit of that ladder match. They left it all on the line out there. Another great reaction of the night 430, dom, he can get some heat, boy. Philly fans gave him some heat, but not only that, the Philadelphia Eagles gave him some heat. But not only that, the Philadelphia Eagles gave him some heat too, because, jc Kelsey, they have a guy under some luchador mask and throwing him into the ring post.

Speaker 1:

It was just a day had you on the edge of your feet the whole time and I really really enjoyed every bit of WrestleMania. If you missed it, go back and replay it. If you got four hours to sit down and enjoy that show, go enjoy that show Because, like I said, there were some things in there that I didn't even expect. But hey, listen, it was great from beginning to end, night one, just great. But hey, let's talk about about damage control here. Wait a minute. They sure didn't look superior when they met up against Bianca, naomi and Jade. And what fitting way for Jade Coghill's first WrestleMania, for her to pin somebody from damage control. She was able to get that win. But it was just a dominant performance by those three black women and I love it. I love it.

Speaker 1:

They went out there and put on a show but, like I said, it was just great, great from beginning to end. I'm telling you, for all the wrestling fans out there, we enjoyed it. This is what we've been waiting for. Again, I'm telling you, for all the wrestling fans out there, we enjoyed it. This is what we've been waiting for and again, I'm just happy that they all, whatever, but uh oh, let me bring my boy in here. Let me bring my boy in here what's happening, man?

Speaker 2:

it is alright listen, listen.

Speaker 1:

I couldn't ask for a better first night of Wrestle. I couldn't ask for a better first night of WrestleMania. I couldn't ask for a better first night. Oh my goodness, I couldn't ask for a better first night. You tell me the first night was just fire, fire. But I did miss Mommy. Yeah, I missed it. Can you hear me? You good, can you hear me? I can't hear you. I can't hear you. You can't. It's okay, I can hear you. I can definitely hear you. I can see. But what you think? Yeah, alright, technical difficulties, I see. But what you think? Yeah, all right, technical difficulties, technical difficulties. But he'll be back in here in a second. But again, like I said, congratulations to everyone, shoot. You know who gets the biggest congratulations. The biggest congratulations is the fans. All right, what about now? Can you hear me now?

Speaker 2:

No, Still can't hear you. Okay, oops, I cannot hear you. Oh, oh, I think you've had the mute button on you this whole time. Yeah, I know you can hear me. I don't think I can hear you because you're muted. Okay, okay, okay, can hear me. I don't think I can hear you because you're muted.

Speaker 1:

Okay, okay, huh what is going on here? Uh-oh, here we go. All right, now I'm back. There we go, we good. Now what? You good, good, I'm back.

Speaker 2:

I can't. I can't hear you. I don't know why I can't, but I mean, like I said, I can hear you. You can hear me, okay, yes, I can hear you, alright, let me figure out why I can't hear you. You can hear me. Okay, yes, I can hear you. All right, let me figure out why I can't hear you.

Speaker 1:

What is going on here? But, that's okay if you can't because, like I said, we Ooh, exciting, exciting, wrestlemania. I give that a 10. I give WrestleMania a 10. I give Wrestlemania a 10, 10, 10, 10 jeez Louise.

Speaker 2:

What is going on here?

Speaker 1:

listen, we have Wrestlemania is a 10. Wrestlemania is a 10. They just had me. Listen, we have technical difficulties. Wrestlemania is a 10. Wrestlemania is a 10. They just had me on the edge of my feet the whole night on the edge of my feet. Like I said, we're getting some technical difficulties over there just straightened out, but we will be back in here in a second. But, like I said, every match even down to Rey and Andrade working out together and then Dirty Dumb and Santo Escobar, everybody getting involved in the match it was just great, great.

Speaker 1:

But to me, the biggest, the biggest, the biggest shock of the night was Sami Zayn beating Gunther. That was the biggest shock of the night for me. I was just like no, how can this be? This man is the greatest intercontinental champion of all time and he lost to Sami. He has to follow that. You know. Here's my thing. How can you follow that? Because it that's a hard thing to follow a very, very hard over 600 something days of being champion, and that's very, very hard to follow. So how can you follow, how can you follow up like that? That's crazy. That is. You know, don't get me wrong, they had gone to showboating or whatever, but for him to have came on and just been and he was beat by Sami Zayn. No, I was a little upset about that. Can you hear me now?

Speaker 1:

no no, still no, not yet. Can you hear me now? No, no, still no, not yet, not yet. But hey, listen, tell me who. I was just upset that Gunther lost that title and I get it's a great, great story for Sami Zayn I really really do but I was really really upset that he lost the title to. Gunther, lost the title to Sami Zayn. You know, for someone you want someone to take the title off of him. That's going to live it. You know, really, really roll it. Sami's not going to roll that title like Gunther did.

Speaker 1:

Gunther took on all challenges and one of the things that I said with Gunther is that you know a lot of these champions they use somebody else to cheat. Gunther did it by himself, by himself, there was nobody interfering in his matches, and he did it for 662 days. I believe that is crazy and probably that record's not going to be beat for a long, long time. He's a once-in-a-generation talent, but now I guess they're trying to really push him, you know, to the next level and see where he's going to go. So, hey, listen, hey, congratulations. But congratulations, sammy, and see where he's gonna go. So, hey, listen, hey, congratulations. But uh, congratulations, sammy.

Speaker 1:

I, I get this, uh, success story, and you know, dan philly is the rocky story and he, he beats the big bad, uh, man, and now he takes the title. But, uh, to me, uh, sammy shouldn't have lost that title, uh, but it is what it happens. It is what it happens, it is what it is. Congratulations, sammy. But that was to me the biggest upset of the night, was that one. And I mean, hey, can we get back to the main event here for a second? Yeah, I mean, did you see the entrance of the rock? Oh, that was fire. And then, for the simple fact he got that custom belt that was made for him last night too, oh, that was fire, that was fire, fire, fire, fire. All right, come on, come on, give me some good news, give me some good news.

Speaker 1:

We can hear each other finally, ladies, and there we go. All right, my god, give me the good news. Oh, my goodness, man, I, I, my head is hurt from yelling, screaming at the tv all the highs. I'm just man. I was excited, I'm surprised I have a voice, because I was yelling so much, right, oh, my goodness man, I'm upset. I'm upset, though. I'm upset because Gunter lost the title. I'm upset about that Interesting, I get it and I pick Gunther to win.

Speaker 1:

I'm upset, man, listen, 662 days is a hell of a feat for anyone and Gunther didn't use anyone to help him. He did it by himself in every match, in every match. You don't see that with heels these days. Usually with heels someone come to help. Let's go with Roman Reigns' whole 1300-something days, every match. Someone interfered in that match, except the match with Seth Rollins Because he got disqualified. But other than that, all the Reigns' match has been interference. Gunter beat the bricks off of you and still beat you. Yeah, let's go through a list of names Braun Strowman, big man, drew McIntyre and Sheamus. At last year's WrestleMania in a triple threat match I mean, let me see Ricochet, who he won the title from Ray. He's beaten everyone that's been put in front of him and to end that reign to Sammy can't live up to that reign. I was upset about that.

Speaker 2:

You know you could make that argument. I would also say that, as I sip on my weekend celebration drink here, yeah, absolutely. If Roman, if Gunther was going to lose the title, it had to be at WrestleMania.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2:

I get it Right.

Speaker 1:

I get it Now.

Speaker 2:

I talked about this on Tuesday, about the reasoning why I didn't believe that Sami Zayn was going to win, is because, when you have such a historic reign that Gunther has, whoever beats him needs to have to carry the weight of the fact that you just beat him for his historic reign at Wrestlemania, showing up on the following Monday night and say, hey, I'm the new champion, now the greatest intercontinental champion of all time. Look at me and I didn't see that with Sammy. Now, with that being said, with that being said, with that being said, though, I do think that with Sammy being champion has opened up a whole lot more avenues that I think we might even realize, because you can definitely do the rematch with Sammy and Gunther. We might even realize because you can definitely do the rematch with Sammy and Gunther, by the way what a match that was. No, that was a match. That was a match you could do that. You could also have a triple threat between the two of them and Chad Gable, if you want to. You could also have Sammy versus Chad Gable, if you want to. You could have Sammy versus a Bron Breaker. If you want to, you call him up, have him go to Raw, you could have Sammy Zane versus. I mean, the list goes on and on.

Speaker 2:

I the the. The troublesome thing about the troublesome thing about Sammy winning is that he unfortunately does not have the character work to carry the mantle of the fact that he just beat an historic champion. Um, my point, exactly. That's all it is. That's all it is, and the only reason why that's the case is because they try to build a storyline within two weeks. If they gave this enough time to cook in the oven and marinate it with with, you know, kind of similar to what AJ Styles and LA Knight is doing. If they did it similar to that and they had that kind of build, then I would have a different story, I would have a different perspective.

Speaker 1:

But because they rushed all this in a span of two weeks, hey, you see Tree telling us because she didn't get a chance to watch it.

Speaker 2:

Then get off the live and watch the show.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what to tell you.

Speaker 1:

Oh listen listen here, man, I'm just saying, oh, I was just upset that he lost man, because I was like you took one of the greatest champions. This is a fighting champion. This is not like Reigns, where, hey, I'll show up only at the pay-per-views. I'll show up here. Hey, my family's going to help me beat him. This was a fighting champion, no matter who it was, he went to the ring and confronted you. Oh, you want to fight me? I'm going to make you pay. I'm going to make you pay. I'm going to make you pay. He's made people pay. I was like, oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness. No Tree, you just got to go watch. You got to go watch it.

Speaker 2:

You have to.

Speaker 1:

You got to watch it man. Yeah, you got to watch it, you got to watch it. So I was just like, oh my goodness, but A, your girl did win, mommy did win, and Tree actually had a shirt said it, she had me, she had, y'all was right, treat tree. And she had made it, said mommy's always on top. So yeah, oh, hey, man, listen, but she is mommy, one man mommy, I mean mommy a, and and the philly crowd was with her, with her. They, that's what it is, mommy, that's what it?

Speaker 1:

is they love some mommy. And I was like that was the match I didn't see. So I was like, ah, because I I was still asleep but I woke up during the ladder match. But I'm glad I did, man, because that was entertaining, and I'm glad they split these titles back. I am so happy. But I wasn't expecting Waller and Austin.

Speaker 2:

I was.

Speaker 1:

I wasn't expecting that. I thought DIY. I knew Truth. I knew Truth and Miz would, but I thought DIY would.

Speaker 2:

You can't have two baby faces win it. You can't have two baby faces win it. I think that's why they did it that way. And look, I think R artru finally having his moment at wrestlemania is something that is going to be studied for years to come. He, you know. You know, because he, he and and miz got to be the, the, the guy to be alongside him, which is is ironic, you know, given that you know it was 11 years ago, almost to the day, that they formed a tag team and was causing ruckus in the in the main event scene. And to have them have that moment at WrestleMania was awesome. It was, it was, and R-Tr truth deserves it. Man, uh, obviously, him being over and and the whole judgment storyline and and him, you know, he thinking he was in it. Then he, then, you know, they kicked him out officially and they kept beating him up and kept beating him up.

Speaker 1:

Um, you know, for him to actually have that moment was awesome. But beating him up For him to actually have that moment was a blessing. That was awesome. But what was funny was, more than anything, when he was standing on the apron for a tag Truth. Okay, truth knows how to sell a crowd and win them over. I'm not mad at Truth. He knows how to sell it and win them over. I love it, I love it.

Speaker 2:

I was seeing that one day. Yes, it Awful shenanigans too.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Awful shenanigans too, man.

Speaker 1:

I'm like, look, listen, I'm all for it, I'm all for the smoke, I am all for the smoke. I just couldn't believe that. You know the pop that he got when he took those titles down. And it was more fitting that he took the titles down. The crowd just loved it, Loved it.

Speaker 1:

That was good, but that was a great match from everybody going through ladders and tables and chairs. It was amazing. The energy at Philly was unbelievable. And then one of my partners he sent me some pictures. He's there. I was like why didn't you tell me when I went? Sent me pictures, he up there, I was bad. I went some change up the road.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, literally, literally oh man. Yeah, literally, literally oh man.

Speaker 1:

Oh man. But wait, wait, wait wait. My best part was Dirty Dom getting some heat, but when he came out there, philly was booing him out. They was booing him out the state.

Speaker 2:

His character is winning alone. I don't understand how I I don't get it. I don't get how someone could be so universally hated for so long, like no one likes him no one, and it's like he. Like he can't even talk without somebody booing him. He's getting booed at his own wedding. Come on, man.

Speaker 1:

I love it. I love the way they will boo him out of a stadium. It reminds me of him and Don Callis over in AEW. Yes, AEW, yeah, because here's the reason why Everyone loves Kenny Omega and he screwed Kenny Omega over.

Speaker 2:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1:

It's just like everybody loves Rey Mysterio, you screwed your dad over. So, oh man, you know something. I would love to see Dirty Dom in the ring and R-Truth, because he gets the most heat and R-Truth gets the most love.

Speaker 2:

That should be a segment.

Speaker 1:

That should be a segment.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, that should be a segment.

Speaker 1:

But, man, what'd you think about the dominant three? The dominant three, bianca Bill Jade. You think about the dominant three? The dominant three, bianca jade. It was good man. I damage control has never been whipped like that. No, no, no, they took a beat in the night. They took a hell. They took a hell, but yeah. But when bianca smacked her with that, um, with her braid snack, oscar, I was like that hurt me man, man, I don't need her to.

Speaker 2:

I need to go back to nxt with it, man justin, I know you were up there.

Speaker 1:

Tell me how the energy was. Tell me how the energy was, cause Justin actually went. Tell me how the energy was up there, cause I think he went to stand to deliver too, and I didn't even get to see that.

Speaker 2:

I didn't even get to see that.

Speaker 1:

I gotta watch that one, but I got to watch that one again, but I saw the results and all I can say is whoop that trick, Whoop that trick Whoop that, trick, whoop that trick.

Speaker 2:

Man, the only thing that match was missing was the title. Only thing that match was missing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, absolutely Absolutely, and got to give it up to our boy ilia.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, he won boy uh, they need to call him up. They need to call him up soon. If they're gonna, if they're gonna, do the uh gunther ilia match at bash in berlin. That's gotta to happen soon. They got to build that up.

Speaker 1:

But you see, that's why I wish they wouldn't have ended Gunther's reign, because Ilya was the person that beat him. What's that? The UK title? I think he beat him for the NXT UK title, so what more fitting that he called him after he ran around.

Speaker 2:

And Ilya is the person that takes the title from Gunther, so what more fitting that he called him up to the ring round and Ilya is the person that takes the title from Gunther. But what if I give you something better than that, come on. What if we wake up on the morning of Bash in Berlin and Gunther is your world heavyweight champion and he is trying to figure out who is going to face him? Because now he's at that stage already where he's starting to beat people up and starting to send them packing again, like he did with the IC title, and then all you hear is Ilya Dragunov's music hit. He comes down the ramp, he steps up to Gunther's face. He says I see you have nobody that is able to go for that title. I know someone that's beaten you for historic reigns before. It's me Me. I'll see you at Bash in Berlin.

Speaker 1:

Berlin Right, all right, here we go. Stand and deliver was tremendous today. Wasn't in the stadium for Mania, but will be in front in Lincolnson tomorrow night, cool, cool.

Speaker 2:

You was a stand, and deliver Okay, nice.

Speaker 1:

Stand and deliver, okay, nice. Wow, yeah, I knew you. I saw your pictures from up there. So, man, I'm telling you, I'm just so mad that I could not be. It's right up the road, we could go.

Speaker 2:

Man, don't worry, don't worry, we got something cooking for next year, hey.

Speaker 1:

But you know something though the way WrestleMania was tonight, I see why there was an earthquake up in New Jersey Because they knew WrestleMania was coming. Yeah man, yeah, seriously, I see why it was an earthquake up there, cause WrestleMania did not disappoint the night, oh my goodness. But man, wait, wait, let me, let me, just let me. Let me say this more than anything man, what's?

Speaker 2:

that.

Speaker 1:

The rock still has no ifs, no ands, no buts, but that entrance was fire. Okay, yeah, it was, entrance was fire and if anyone missed it, go back and watch that rock entrance. I think that's one of the best entrances he ever did with his new music. And back to that hollywood and, oh my, it was just crazy. And I missed the Hall of Fame so I didn't see him get presented that belt, so I was like what dollars does?

Speaker 2:

he have. Yeah, yeah, I was man.

Speaker 1:

All I say is man, the Rock and whatever. And then the intentional spear by Reigns. I'm telling you, there's going to be a plot in these bloodline rules, ma, going to be a plot. I think Brock's going to show up tomorrow night. I think Brock Lesnar's going to show up tomorrow night.

Speaker 2:

Oh stop it.

Speaker 1:

Stop it To help Cody, Stop it. Remember it's Bloodline.

Speaker 2:

They can't do that.

Speaker 1:

Anything goes Anything goes, they can't do that? They can't do that. Brock's gonna show up, cena's gonna show up. Who else I think is gonna show up tomorrow? Oh my God, oh my God. Let me see Brock, cena and who my god, oh my god, let me see brock.

Speaker 2:

Cena and um who? Probably austin, bobby austin. The only reason why you can't do brock is because the legal situation okay, I, I see you, but they probably got.

Speaker 1:

hey, this is a one-time deal, we're bringing them in for this. You know they can do that.

Speaker 2:

Hey, look, you may be on to something, because when Paul Heyman did his speech last night, he was testing a lot of waters, mentioning Brock, mentioning what the company was like without addressing his name, talking about Stephanie. So he did touch a lot of waters. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.

Speaker 1:

My man said I'm ready for all the shenanigans, in the main event tomorrow. He said if glass shatters in the building, my soul's going to leave my body. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, this is going to be crazy tomorrow night. For sure. Crazy, crazy. But like I said, that whole match from beginning to end with Cody, so good, so good. Oh my God, it kept me on the heel of my feet.

Speaker 1:

So good, so good. Oh my God, it kept me on the heel of my feet. But when Cody hit that damn cutter from the top rope on Reigns, I said even though it wasn't the best looking one, but he hit it. And then Seth hit him with that splat. I said it's gotta be over, it's gotta be over oh that's your part. That's your part, that was one of my parts.

Speaker 2:

That was one of my parts. Mine was when cody managed to hit the rock bottom on rock through the table. Okay, just for roman to spear the crap out of Sester with a barricade and all you see is nothing but bodies on the floor.

Speaker 1:

I was just like I'll tell you another one. I'll tell you another good one. I'll tell you another good one when Rock was going for the people's elbow and he got a cutter. It was just so many moments, that list.

Speaker 2:

So good, so good. I was just yelling, screaming man.

Speaker 1:

My head hurt Cause I was yelling and screaming so much. Wow, oh, my goodness. And for anyone, anyone that's a fan. Enjoy that man. Everybody was up there. They didn't care that it was cold up there. They was in that cold water. Okay, it's like 45 degrees. If you looked above, they had heaters at the top of the over top of the ring. Did you know? Oh, wow, they have heaters up there because it was cold up there. So they had heaters up there to make sure the wrestlers were kind of warm.

Speaker 2:

But shit, it didn't matter.

Speaker 1:

When they went out to the crowd, especially Seth and yeah, it didn't matter. They were out there sweating anyway.

Speaker 2:

Yep, yep, pretty much Wow. Match was so good.

Speaker 1:

I'm all for every bit of shenanigans I'm ready for tomorrow night. Every bit of shenanigans I'm ready for tomorrow night. And just to think we still got tomorrow. We got the Raw after Wrestlemania, so Tuesday even gonna be more lit when we come on here yeah, it is, it is, it is.

Speaker 2:

I look, I said it on Tuesday. I'll say it again If this match, the main event of tomorrow night, does not end in Cody Rhodes winning the match, you can forget about anyone else caring about his character. You can forget about it.

Speaker 1:

See, and I talked to it If Reigns wins we going to riot If Reigns wins, billy's going to riot, okay, because listen to the crowd. Okay, if you listen to the crowd tonight. It was very listen. Listen to the crowd.

Speaker 1:

Okay, if you listen to the crowd tonight it was very divisive, by the way they was praising the rock, but when rains got in there, they was booing him out of the stadium. Yeah, there was some parts where they they gave range props, but when Cody was in there with rains, you could hear how much they want Cody to win that match. Now With Reigns, you could hear how much they want Cody to win that match. Now, when Cody was in there with the Rock, it was even split because there's still so many Rock fans out there. So, man, that's crazy.

Speaker 2:

But hey, man, did you hear Cody's mom cussing the Rock. Yeah, the audio picked up. On that I said, oh okay, All right now.

Speaker 1:

I'm like listen, I'm all for it, ty, welcome. Hey, listen, I'm not mad at your son, Ty. Because of the simple fact that I wanted to go to WrestleMania too. So I saw her post. She said her son wanted to go to WrestleMania. She was like look at them prices. Hey said her son went to go to WrestleMania. She was like I'm looking at prices. Hey, listen, I wanted to go to his time. She said Cody will win tomorrow. I say whoever wins tonight loses tomorrow.

Speaker 1:

Okay, okay, hey, she go with Cody, wait let's see I'm going to uh, I'm going to run somebody over with my car. If Cody doesn't win, Big Brother Rhodes is going to drop. I have a dream speech on Monday Night Raw after he wins.

Speaker 2:

I'm not bad at it, I'm serious dog. I'm serious dog Because I talked to one of my friends this morning. He asked me about the match. I said you do understand that, cody. This is why Cody has to win. For me, in my opinion, it would be different if Cody didn't win the Rumble and he had to go through the Elimination Chamber, then the whole Rock situation, then the whole Bloodline Rules is a thing, and he just couldn't find a way to get it done because it was too much. Fine, maybe too much. I may not like it, but I would understand it. Right, he has won back-to-back royal rumbles. You lost last year. You better get it done this year. You don't.

Speaker 1:

I'm telling you they got a major twist coming in here somewhere. I'm telling you, some people are going to show up to help Cody, and I wish that his brother wasn't on the contract with AEW, because I would love to see Dustin show up, I would, to help his brother win that title. I would love to see that. I would love to see that. But again, uh-oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Ty says she wants Roman to win. Uh-oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Ty says she want Roman to win. Uh-oh, no, look, look, look. Here's my thing with Roman. Here's my thing with Roman. Ty, roman, his title run has not been a fighting one. Every chance someone's helped him win a match other than with Seth Rollins, because he was disqualified. You know it. But it's really a joke. His title runs a joke. Now, don't get me wrong. Okay, he's the highest selling merchandise, he's the face of the WWE and you know she said I'm never going against him, ever. I'm biased. That's nasty, even though I'm willing to acknowledge me?

Speaker 1:

sure, because, hey, I was on his bandwagon too. But it's it's time, it's time, it's time. His time is up, his time is up, his time is up, okay, and just and just to copy.

Speaker 2:

just to copy what you just said it's going to be Avengers Endgame in real life. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. Let me say this through this microphone right now, so that way we don't get anything misconstrued the Rock versus Roman Reigns does not need a title for next year's WrestleMania. I repeat the rock versus Roman Reigns does not need the world championship at next year's WrestleMania. Therefore, roman can lose. I want to make that profoundly clear. Roman can lose. I want to make that profoundly clear. That match does not need the title.

Speaker 1:

Okay, ty, let's do a little wager on this. Ty she's laughing. Let's do a little wager, ty. This is what I'm going to do for you, ty, hold on, give me one second. Give me one second. I got a do for you, ty, hold on, give me one second. Give me one second. I got a bet for you, ty, hold on Now. This is one of my prized possessions, my prized possession right here. This is one of my prized possessions, ty, if Roman Reigns wins that match, you win this. I will give this to you. Oh my, do not, I'm going to make a bet on it.

Speaker 1:

If Roman Reigns wins that match, this is yours. This is one of my pride possessions, but you know something I'll put it up.

Speaker 2:

She's laughing on that look, ty, look, I'm gonna go through this microphone one more time because I'm not gonna allow him to do this to you she says she think Cody will win.

Speaker 2:

I'm glad that you think Cody will win because I will let you in on a little secret. Unless you think Cody will win, I'm glad that you think Cody will win Because I will let you in on a little secret. I repeat Reigns does not need the title against the Rock at next year's main event. I repeat Roman Reigns does not need the undisputed championship at next year's WrestleMania to go against the Rock. The title does not need to be on the line. Therefore, they can still have this main event match, this once-in-a-lifetime match, without the title.

Speaker 1:

It does not need it. She ain't going against her man. She's not going against her man. I get it. That's fine, Ride with them. But hey, all the Cody Crybabies. Hey, I'm riding with the Cody Crybabies baby. I'm riding with the Cody Crybabies, but this is what I'm still with the Cody Crybabies baby. I'm riding with the Cody Crybabies, but this is what I'm still concerned about, and everybody's missing this point. Damien Priest is still a Money in the Bank winner. There's going to be a cash-in tomorrow. You just don't know which title. If it's not after Drew and Seth, it's going to be a cash in tomorrow. You just don't know which title. If it's not after Drew and Seth, it's going to be on Cody.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to tell you something right now.

Speaker 1:

It's going to be a cash in tomorrow. Watch.

Speaker 2:

It looks like I'm going to hit this megaphone a lot on this show. If Damien Priest cashes in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Cody Rhodes after he just won the title at WrestleMania tomorrow night, expect for this guy right here to not be on any platform for the next month and a half because every single platform will explode Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, you name it will explode. If Damien Priest walks out of WrestleMania 40 with the WWE undisputed World Heavyweight Championship, Do not expect to find me because everything within me will be locked off. Just want to let y'all know.

Speaker 1:

Wait a minute.

Speaker 2:

You think the ladder match?

Speaker 1:

was trash. Really that ladder match was fire. It's a hot take.

Speaker 1:

Give me your opinions on it. Matter of fact, I can send you a link. How about you come on in here and explain this? It's interesting. I'm going to send you a link, ty. I want to hear this one. But why? I'm going to send you a link, ty? I'm going to send you a link. Wait, wait a minute. You thought it was trash, oh, my goodness. Okay, hey, listen, I'm all for opinions. I am all for opinions, ty. I just sent you a link. If you want to come in, I want to hear your opinion on that one. I mean, I thought it for opinions. I just sent you a link. If you want to come in, I want to hear your opinion on that. I mean, I thought it was fire. Wait, because I'm used to.

Speaker 2:

Jeff Hardy. Oh my God, enough said, enough said, enough said. That's all I needed. I knew that's what it was. Okay, all right.

Speaker 1:

Oh my goodness, Hilarious Wait. Well, what about Matt Hardy too? You missed him also.

Speaker 2:

Jeff, that's fine, that's fine.

Speaker 1:

Look, I will say this Okay See, All right, I just watched the TLC Metro P guy.

Speaker 2:

Good job, ty Good job, well done, well done.

Speaker 1:

I love you tonight. You definitely give me some entertainment. But you know we got to hit a WrestleMania. All of us have to hit a WrestleMania sometime and since we couldn't get up the road, wherever it's going to be next year, I'm trying to go. Oh we're going.

Speaker 2:

I'm booking it right now. We're going.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but you know what Ty.

Speaker 2:

My attitude is way too high. You know what, ty. You know what it is, though that's what happens when you don't have a whole lot of household names in a match. That's what happens, because if you're not watching every week and you don't know what each of these teams are capable of, yeah, you may enjoy the match, they may do spectacular moves, but if none of them have household names, if you don't have any names that are standing out, then you're not going to enjoy it. Unfortunately, sometimes some matches carry just off of the name itself and, ty, you are putting it on full display, and that's totally fine, by the way, but that's usually. It doesn't shock me that. I would probably hear that it's only because there's not. The names aren't there, and that's okay, that's fine.

Speaker 1:

Justin, stay in touch with me please, because I know you've been going to him. So we gotta stay in touch with me please, because I know you've been going to them. So we got to stay in touch with me because I am going with you next year. It wasn't the names for you. Well yeah, I understand that it wasn't the names. Okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I know I hit it on the nose. I know I did, I know I did.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but here's the thing, Simi C For me you don't have to be anyone willing to put their bodies on the line anymore. Okay, listen, I think that.

Speaker 2:

Don't you do that here's where I was upset.

Speaker 1:

Here's where I was upset, because the only team I really wanted in it was the Street Profit. That's who I wanted in that event. And you see, the Street Profits, especially Montez. Montez can put on a show with anyone. He had that crowd. The way he moves around that ring, wrestles, and especially when he flies off that top rope, it's almost unmatched with anyone in the business. His chemistry is just crazy in that ring and that's why I was upset. But hey, they're in a Philadelphia street fight tomorrow night. That's going to be interesting. Yeah, exactly that's going to be interesting. So he's going to put on a human highlight show in that match, a human highlight show. So that's who I really wanted to be in the tag match and I was hoping they will win one of the titles back and you know the Smackdown titles or the Raw titles. But they probably would have won Smackdown because the simple fact that that's where they are with.

Speaker 2:

Bobby. That's where they are right. That's where they are with Bobby. That's where they are Right.

Speaker 1:

That's where they are with Bobby, you said I need to see blood.

Speaker 2:

I got this one. Go ahead. Let me see you be in a ladder match where you are getting hit by said ladders and you tell me, oh, you don't have anyone willing to put their bodies on the line anymore. You tell me how it feels to be hit by a ladder six, seven, eight, ten times in one sitting. And oh, by the way, you better hope and pray that you have some life left to finish the match. You tell me if someone doesn't have the willingness to put their body on the line in a tag team ladder match that featured eight people wait.

Speaker 1:

But tom's laughing shell said uh, yeah, no thank you.

Speaker 2:

I rest my case. No one's willing to put their bodies on the line. Did you not see the table spot? When was it? Was it Gargano? I don't know who he sent through that table, but when I tell you, that thing was so loud I didn't know what I could do. I didn't know what to do. I'm a Marine. I put my body on the line, okay, okay, all right. You see my hands. Hands up, don't shoot. Hands up, don't shoot. Okay, okay, all right, all right. You see my hands. You see my hands. Hands up, don't shoot. You give up? Hands up, don't shoot. Fine, fine, fine.

Speaker 2:

But if a ladder hits you 10 times over in a one singular match, I'm not going to lie, I'm telling you, as a guy, I'm going to be like eh, no more ladder shots, please and thank you, Because I need to actually wake up to see the next morning. You know something? I quit.

Speaker 1:

I'm out of here. Thank you, I'm going to leave the match. Sorry, I'm leaving. Wait a minute. Did you just hit me with a chair? I'm gone.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, nah, no, no, no. Everybody else told me it wasn't going to hurt that bad, didn't hurt that bad.

Speaker 1:

So sorry, nope, out of here You've got to be kidding me, oh my goodness. But like I said, man the Rock is entertaining. Man the Rock is, he is, I just think. I just think I was watching the Rock and I was looking at his facial expressions. You proved my point, though. We need more Mick Foley's. Hey, now Mick, Wait, wait, wait. I gotta back this one up. Mick took the greatest beating in hell in the cell matches. Okay, he done. Went through through cages, off cages, and then hell and so, mick, you know something? By hands down, he's the man.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yes he's a good laugh, guys.

Speaker 1:

Thank you the greatest beatings of all time. I mean, yeah, speared through a fire table, hit with Barbie, you know the barbed wire 2x4. Yeah, I had to give it to Mick Foley.

Speaker 2:

So again, again, I will ask who in the hell Is going to be this generation's Mick Foley?

Speaker 1:

Hey, I forgot about the yep. You're right, the thumbtacks.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, who's doing that?

Speaker 1:

I'm still scared by it, listen, listen, I'm still scared by it, listen, listen. All I got to say is yeah, I mean, and even, okay, let's go back to rocking. The match gave an intentional low blow to Seth Rollins in front of the referee. An intentional.

Speaker 2:

The man said. The man told the man told the ref. He said you start counting, you're fired. You start counting, you're fired. I said what, what? When can we start doing that? But you know what, you know what it was so good. It was so good Because he understands that I have power like real power in this company, and if that means that I have to abuse it in my own matches, I will, and I will do it in ways that you've never seen before.

Speaker 1:

He is Vince McMahon times a million. Okay, because Vince was a great heel, but his personality wasn't the greatest. The Rock has it all the Rock can sell you. The Rock can sell you. He can go from good to bad, to good to bad. The only other person that could do that was the Undertaker. Yeah, that was the only other person that could do that Go from good to bad and then change this personality completely. Right.

Speaker 1:

I went from the dead man to the American badass, back to the dead man. So, oh my god. But you know something, though Reigns was looking a little winded in that match man, you think so? Yeah, he was looking a little winded in that match man, you think so? Yeah, he was looking a little winded in that match, remember? Oh, wait, wait, and Shawn Michaels, we ain't forgetting about Shawn.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, shawn's a good one too.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, shawn's a great one, Shawn's a great one.

Speaker 2:

Him winded though he was. He was a little winded, he was a great one. Him winded though.

Speaker 1:

He was. He was a little winded. He was a little winded. Remember, he doesn't wrestle like that.

Speaker 2:

He doesn't wrestle like that.

Speaker 1:

You know who was mostly in that match. The Rock and the Rock don't wrestle like that. The Rock was mostly in the ring. A lot, A lot.

Speaker 2:

Rock did that.

Speaker 1:

Thing man A lot Hmm.

Speaker 2:

Rock did his thing. On that one man he did. I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know something? It was a great performance by all four of those men. Yes, all four of those men. That was one of the greatest tag team matches I've seen in a long time. It lived up To the crowd up the ramp, you know. And yup Rock is like 51. He did an amazing job and looks great. The man works out six hours a day. The Rock's working.

Speaker 2:

Breaking news. Breaking news, breaking news. The Rock is 55 years old with 285 pounds in muscle doing what he is doing.

Speaker 1:

And amazing. It was just a great, great job. But, like I said, the Rock didn't hold back. He was cussing at everybody the referees, he was cussing at Mama Rose. Mama Rose was cussing at him back. Oh my God, like I said, the Rock can sell anything. He can sell anything he can, like I said, just bodies, everywhere they destroy tables, you know, chairs being thrown low, blows people coming off ropes, roans up, wait, wait, a minute, rains, what? I think he busted his nose or his lip, one or two. I think it was his nose, so it was just. It was it, man? That was great, it was great, it was great, he said. I said he's been attitude era of 2.0. Yeah, bringing attitude 2.0. Hey, wait, wait. Let me tell you who a match I was kind of disappointed with upset jimmy and jay.

Speaker 1:

I think it could have been a lot better. It could have been a lot better. It could have been a lot better. Uh-oh, wait, hey, nope, hey, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I didn't think that match was that great, don't get me wrong, when Jay came out there. Think that match was that great, don't get me wrong. When Jay came out there, that crowd was off the chain. But I didn't think that match was that great. I think it could have been a lot better. It should have.

Speaker 1:

The hype was there but it just didn't live up to the hype to me. You know I understand okay, I beat my brother this and that. Like, okay, doing the match memory, he was telling his brother to get up and oh yeah, the interest was amazing. Yeah, that interest was crazy. But I just think the match could have been a little bit. Remember, when he was like telling his brother to get up and stuff like that, I, I thought he was gonna go over there and just wail on his brother and he didn't. And then the part where his brother tricked him, talking about he was sorry. I thought he was going to be like I'm sorry too and just kick him or something anything. I just thought the match could have been a little bit better.

Speaker 1:

But no, the entrance was fire. You said you saw that coming a mile away. No, I thought Jay just would be like, yeah, I'm sorry too, crack and just crack him. I was just. I just thought the match could have been a little bit better. That's all. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad Jay won. I am, because that way he's exercising them bloodline demons off him getting. Hey look, I'm dissing myself and I I forgot about jay. He's gonna get involved tomorrow too in the main event. Watch, jay's gonna get involved. So, like I said, I think brock's gonna show up. If it ain't because of the legal issues, I think brock's gonna be there. I think cena's gonna show up. I think a whole bunch of people gonna show up to show the bloodline. No, you ain't in control. No more. We taking this company back, and I think the Rock's probably going to turn on your boo too. Oh yeah, oh, I spoke about that, I think, before you came on.

Speaker 1:

Damage Control. Oh yeah, they got that. Yeah, they was in no kind of control. They got that brake speed off of them. Matter of fact, they got the brake speed off them so bad. They got, took the minus, put some brakes on them and then they beat them brakes off of them too.

Speaker 1:

What I'm telling you is damage control took a ass whooping the night. Yes, they did, and I was happy that they did, and what more fitting than j Jay Cargill to get that pin and win? But I think what hurt me more than anything is when Asuka got hit by Bianca's braid and I heard that pop. I was like, oh my God, that hurt me. Okay, because the last time Bianca did that it was to Becky Lynch. She left some welts all over her stomach when she popped her with that braid, so I can imagine that's like getting hit with a whip.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, I enjoyed that match and the entrance was fire too. I was just like, yeah, I'm not looking forward to that. Please don't hit me with your braid, please, whatever you do, don't hit me. Matter of fact, I'm wearing a shirt. If you hit me with that braid, okay. But no, yeah, it was fire. And, like I said, it was great that Jade got the win for that. You know to go to WrestleMania, be in front of that crowd. So, yeah, it was just crowd, it was just fire. Everything was fire tonight. Everything was fire. Like I said, I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, it was awesome. I only remember Jacqueline representing. Yeah, I remember that when Jacqueline was back in the day Was the old woman's champion, yeah, but it's just great to see that they're getting more and more shine.

Speaker 1:

But I think, damage Control, their time is up. Oh, their time is up. I think they're going to have a tag match. They're going to lose the titles. It's either going to be Bianca and Naomi or I think all three of them are still going to hook up, and then they probably have that Freebird rule where either all three of them are still going to hook up and then they probably have that free bird rule where all three can defend the titles at any time. It's going to be great, man.

Speaker 1:

I can't wait for tomorrow. Matter of fact, I'm still hyped up. I don't even think I'll be able to sleep half the night tonight. So I am looking forward to it. You think Bayley going to win? I don't know. I don't know. I said EO, I picked EO, I picked EO to win. I don't know if Bailey's gonna win that For some reason, I think they're gonna cheat Bailey. Yeah, damage control's probably gonna get involved, probably cheat Bailey, but then wait, wait. If they do, then you got Jade and they'll probably come to Bailey's rescue, because then it'd be four on four instead of three on four. Okay, all right, I see it, I see it, I can see it, but I don't know. I just think EO is going to win tomorrow. I really do. I think EO might come on in here and just win, win that whole thing, that's go.

Speaker 1:

We got your audio back. We got your audio back. Huh, can you hear me? You hear me? I can't hear you, can't hear you, can't hear you. I know we be having audio issues here. Boy, modern equipment, boy, always messing up, no, still can't. Still can't hear you, not yet. Yeah, audio issues over there, but no, it's going to be a bit EO, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I'm looking forward to the street fight. That's what I'm looking forward to the street fight, bobby Lashley and the Street Profits versus the Final Testament. I'm definitely looking forward to that one that go all over the stadium. Philly probably going to get involved in that one. They like to fight up there anyway. So that's just right up the alley. A Philadelphia street fight, and I wonder if some more football players going to get involved in that. That'll be funny.

Speaker 1:

I love it, I love it, I love it, especially when Jason Kelsey and the other guy came out and threw Dirty Dom into the ring. They were like what? These are big luchadores. It's so funny the way they sold it. Oh man, I was definitely hyped. I was definitely definitely hyped about it.

Speaker 1:

But, like I said, tomorrow, oh my God, it's going to be exciting, it's going to be happening. You got LA Knight and AJ Styles. That's going to be wild. Then we see the street fight. Who else? You got EO, you got Seth and you got the main event, bloodline Rules. I probably won't have a voice tomorrow night because I'm going to be screaming so much, but yeah, wrestlemania and then the Raw.

Speaker 1:

After WrestleMania. It's going to be off the chain, off the chain, and I'm here for all of it. I'm here for all of it, all the smoke. I'm here for it, okay, because this is what we wait for every year WrestleMania. Here for all of it. I'm here for all of it, all the smoke. I'm here for it, okay, because this is what we wait for every year WrestleMania.

Speaker 1:

And if anybody went to WrestleMania, please, if you don't see me on the live, please leave me some comments, leave me some pictures, something that you saw when you went to WrestleMania, because I saw some people on Facebook posting their pictures. They were there. Like I said, a co-worker of mine was there and I was like man. You didn't even tell me. So I was like man. You should have told me I done, went through. Hey, I gave up probably $300, $400. Hey, I don't care if I was in the nobly seat, I was there. So it's all good. It's all good, even though my boy had some audio problems tonight. That's all good, but I'm going to go ahead and sign off. But thank you all. Thank you all who came in and who was watching tonight.

Speaker 1:

But listen, we be back for night two tomorrow night. I can't wait. Hey, listen, let's get this thing going. Hey, good luck to your boy, but I'm with the Cody cry baby on this one. Listen, I'm signing off. I appreciate each and every last one of you coming in here. Tomorrow night we're going to do the same thing. We're coming right back here and talk about it, and then the night after Raw, we're going to talk about it, and then Tuesday we're just going to have a whole recap.
