SPEAKER_04 0:15

All right, here we are for another one. Um, you know, this is the where we're doing WrestleMania Saturday. So we're gonna do that right now. Yeah, so WrestleMania Saturday, you know, this is the Super Bowl of wrestling. Uh, you know, everything that's been going on uh all year since uh last WrestleMania. Mainly, I guess the story rumble saying, but this is not the storyline since Mix 10 that's been going on for the past year. But yeah, this is the culmination of you know all the hard work, all the storylines, you know, all title matches and all that kind of stuff. Uh so yeah, this is you know what they call the uh superstars, superstars kind, and people who won't won't. Yeah, but uh so yeah, as always, we're gonna get to the predictions, what we think's gonna happen, possible storylines, and all that kind of stuff. So uh yeah, let's get to it.

Unsanctioned Match Chaos Preview

SPEAKER_00 1:04

All right, for the first match is Jacob fought two versus Drew McIntyre in an unsctioned match. And I think this has been one of the better built matches in WrestleMania car.

SPEAKER_02 1:15

Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. Probably the I'll probably say the second, maybe third, best match video. Mm-hmm. Second or third. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:28

But um uh yeah, so probably um um it's you think it's gonna be a long match?

SPEAKER_04 1:38

Yes, it's it's gonna be so the first two matches are uh gonna be an hour on ESPN.

SPEAKER_01 1:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:44

So they're they're probably gonna try to put as much as they can in that hour. So yeah, they're probably gonna have that's probably gonna be a long match. Especially since the vision, the the the six minutes to next match.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

I think it's gonna be a shorter match.

SPEAKER_04 1:57

I don't know if it's gonna be shorter, it's gonna be a regular, I think it's gonna be an average length match.

SPEAKER_00 2:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:02

I think the Drew versus Jacob is definitely gonna be longer because you got two veterans who can who can go. Yeah. I mean, this could easily have been an Iron Man match. I mean, they could just they could just as well put an Iron Man match here.

SPEAKER_02 2:15

You know, yeah, but it doesn't really work for the storyline, though.

SPEAKER_04 2:19

Yeah, well I mean last man standing match actually worked better for the storyline.

SPEAKER_03 2:23

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:23

But but I mean unsanctioned is just as good too. It's it's pretty similar. Only difference you don't do a well, first off, unsanctioned match basically is no rules, no no nothing. It's uh basically referees only in there to to count the three or CSMI get submitted. That's it. There's no rules. So here anything goes, chair shots, tables, no, you know, every no rules basically. There's no rules in this match. That's why it's called unsanctioned match. It's not sanctioned, basically. Yeah. Continue to be don't want to have any liabilities uh for what happens in this match.

SPEAKER_00 3:02

But um, yeah, um Jacob count came out in a police car on Friday night's Mac.

SPEAKER_04 3:08

Yeah, I saw that he feed into the uh Drew McIntyre thing.

SPEAKER_00 3:14

But I I think Jacob needs to swing way more than Drew Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 3:20

He won last WrestleMania, but Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

Wait, he did?

SPEAKER_04 3:24

Oh yeah, yeah, he did. He beat uh L was LA Knight for night for the was Night State Bill?

SPEAKER_03 3:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:28

Yeah, LA Knight, yep. So yeah, I mean both of them, both of them, both of them can use it. Um I think Jacob needs it more, I would like you to say, you know, especially depending on what they're gonna do. I wanna say that Drew's getting ready to leave for a little bit. Yeah, he's filming um with the Highlander, I think it is. Yeah, I think it's yeah, so he's getting ready to go back and film that. So he's gonna probably gone for another few months. So I think he's gonna, it's gonna be a way to, you know, it's gonna be a match where he, like I said, he doesn't need to win because he's gonna be gone for so long, people won't really remember to win. Or lost brother.

SPEAKER_00 4:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:08

So but yeah, who do you uh what do you think is gonna happen in the match though?

SPEAKER_00 4:12

Um, nothing. Uh well not nothing this week. Um probably like a few table spots. Um, you think it goes to backstage?

SPEAKER_04 4:24

I think they go around the whole arena. I mean unsanced match would go anywhere.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:27

I don't even know if it starts in the ring, to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_00 4:30

Like you think it starts outside that can happen?

SPEAKER_04 4:33

I mean, it's WrestleMania, so maybe maybe it starts backstage. They work their way into the ring, and then the match starts. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 4:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:44

Because it's unsanctioned, so it's no rules anyways.

SPEAKER_00 4:46

Well what could happen, like they could be fighting throughout the entire arena, and by the time they get in the ring, it's already over, basically.

SPEAKER_04 4:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

That could that's that's what could happen.

SPEAKER_04 4:54

Yeah. Because unsanctioned, so there's technically you don't need anything. Just have the match, you know.

SPEAKER_00 5:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 5:01

Um, but yeah, uh, who do you who do you think gonna win this one, you think?

SPEAKER_00 5:04

Uh probably Jacob fought too, because he needs it way more.

SPEAKER_04 5:07

Yeah, absolutely. I think Jacob's gonna win this too. Victory, probably a little bit of blood, maybe. Uh possibly.

SPEAKER_00 5:14

Yeah, because it isn't on ESPN, it's in like like like uh UFC sometimes.

SPEAKER_04 5:20

Yeah, UFC used to be on ESPN, and it's on Paramount now.

SPEAKER_00 5:23

Oh, it is?

SPEAKER_04 5:26

But how's it on Paramount? Just on Paramount, yeah. Uh huh. Because UFC is but um but yeah, um, yeah, UF with ESPN, yeah, you can you can have a little bit more bud if you want to, because people use to it anyway with UFC. So you know, this and this in this first hour is gonna give people who don't watch wrestling opportunity to see it. Maybe, maybe kids who who hadn't watched it before or stopped watching it, maybe get hands to say, hey, I want to see what this is. You know, and how some people watch some people watch wrestling just off accident.

unknown 5:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 5:59

I remember who was it? Uh I forgot who it was on the podcast the other day. I saw they were saying they were literally probably Alex is black. He was saying his dad was just scrolling the channels and he saw Yoko's on it. And said, Oh, what's that? And start watching. So stuff like that, you know. So but yeah, I mean, this should be a good match, though. This should be one of the better matches on the car, for sure.

SPEAKER_02 6:22

So yeah. But yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:28

So yeah, so you think Jacob's gonna win too?

IShowSpeed Celebrity Match Stakes

SPEAKER_04 6:31

Yeah, Jacob's gonna win, I think that was for sure.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

All right, um, for next match, it's the vision and I show speed versus the Usos and LA Knight in a normal match.

SPEAKER_04 6:40

Yep. Um the the debut of ISO speed. Well, not debut, it was the first his first actual match. He was in Royal Rumble. Yeah. But that's the Royal Rumble's a little different than a match, you know.

SPEAKER_00 6:50

And he got eliminated like super quick anyway.

SPEAKER_04 6:53

Yeah, I mean he got destroyed in that. I mean, he was only there for a minute, but getting speared and then getting thrown on attack by Otis.

SPEAKER_00 6:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:59

Yeah, it's kind of a then got RKL a few years before that.

SPEAKER_03 7:03

So Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:04

But I mean he's I mean, I I show speed is definitely athletic. So he definitely fits in with WWE style.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:13

He's crazy, does a lot of things. You know, I mean, he's he's it looks like he's not scared to do stuff. So that I'm sure he's gonna be nervous walking into the WWE ring for the first time.

SPEAKER_03 7:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:22

But he's used to being around crowds. You know, he's used to being around because his his chat has thousands of viewers.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:30

When he when he says, I'm gonna be in this city on this day, every every kid in the in the state seems like follows him there. And they're and they're there chasing his car.

SPEAKER_02 7:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:41

So he's used to being around people and a lot of people with that. I think the I don't know if it's hopefully the lights don't get to him sometimes, you know, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:50

I mean, yeah, like you said, he has that type of audience, like, like, yeah, but he obviously will be nervous because it's like it's a streaming amount gives him the same thing.

SPEAKER_04 7:57

Exactly. But I mean, that's what I'm saying. The the the match itself is gonna be, I think, the hard part, but yeah, a lot of people, the fans get to him.

SPEAKER_02 8:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:06

Especially if you go from a if you go from like independent wrestling to the main roster, like you should go there, but if you go to NXT, it's a little different, it's thinking of a smaller crowd. And then, but if you went, if you went from independent wrestling, because some independent companies, not independent companies, some independent shows are small. You know, like when we went to, remember, it was like what maybe people in there, maybe? So you go from something like that, and if you get sign with W then boom, you're wrestling in front of 15,000. That's a lot more people. You know, Russ Main's gonna probably be what at least 50,000. So we'll see how that the fans get to him. I mean, he's already been in front of the fans already. So he knows how that feels.

SPEAKER_00 8:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:45

But now he's gonna be in there by his self wrestling.

SPEAKER_00 8:49

And or no, not Rob, not fully by himself.

SPEAKER_04 8:52

But it's a it's a six man, it's not, it's not a tornado matter. You gotta get tagged in.

SPEAKER_00 8:55

Oh, yeah. Oh, also that that brings me to the next question. Do you think he's gonna get like the celebrity hot tag, or do you think he's gonna be like in there a lot more?

unknown 9:02

It depends.

SPEAKER_04 9:03

I don't know how much tracking he's been doing.

SPEAKER_00 9:04

Because like, you know, when the celebrity just get a hot tag and then the matches end, then like.

SPEAKER_04 9:08

No, I think he's gonna be more scared. Look who he's going against. He's going against the Usos and LA Knight. So I think he's gonna be more scared than anything because, you know, he cost the Usos the tag team belts, and then he cost the LA Knight the match against Austin Theory.

SPEAKER_03 9:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 9:25

So I think that it's more so on the I don't want to, I don't want to get tagged in.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

Yeah, because I think what's uh what happens, like I think Logan Paul might try to tag speed in, he just jumps off the rope.

SPEAKER_04 9:35

No, I don't know if he's gonna do that. I think what happens is either Logan or or Austin obviously starts it. They tack the other one in, and then the other one is out hurt on the outside, and then he needs to tag, or he's he's you know, one of them have to tag ISO speed in. And whoever probably LA Niger somebody's waiting for him, like, come on, I'm waiting on you. Like they'll let they'll let Austin Theory or Logan Paul crawl to the ISO speed.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 9:59

Instead of trying to grab him on you doing most tag team matches. They'll let them crawl, like, go ahead, attack them. Come on in. You know, he do the whole I'm scared thing, you know, how you know the timid, how you know how some people do, yeah, you know, think he's gonna do something like that. But like I said, it should be a pretty solid match. I mean, I don't expect to be no five-star match on this one, but it's a it's a good showcase match. You got guys who should be on Wrestling Card. I mean, Usos, LA Knight, which I don't like to say it, Logan Paul. I mean, he's been he's been consistent.

SPEAKER_03 10:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:32

I mean, he hasn't been a celebrity in probably a year. He's been on TV. Probably longer than the TV consistently. Oh, yeah. Like he hasn't been involved. Ever since he's in the vision, like he's like, ever since he's joined the vision, he's been on TV pretty much, if not every week, every other week. You know. So he's he's he's kind of going beyond a celebrity now into a bona fide wrestler. You know, you don't have to like him personally, but in the ring, it is what it is, you know.

SPEAKER_00 10:58

So but yeah, I think, oh yeah. Here's my reason. I think the Usos and LA Knight are gonna win, right? Because then Dan House and Curse.

SPEAKER_04 11:09

You're right. I forgot about Dan Housing Curse.

SPEAKER_00 11:11

And I think I show speed is gonna be pinned by LA Knight.

unknown 11:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:16

Oh yeah, we completely forgot, man. How did we forget the host of WrestleMania?

SPEAKER_03 11:20

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:21

John Cena's host of WrestleMania. So I wonder what's gonna happen with that. We like we talked about before off camera. Uh, is Dan House gonna have interaction with John Cena in the ring?

SPEAKER_03 11:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:29

Um, something like that. I mean, Dan House has to be on WrestleMania at some point, in some capacity.

SPEAKER_03 11:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:34

You know, uh just because his character is so hot right now. You know, he's like a younger version of R True.

SPEAKER_02 11:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:39

You know, but uh, but yeah, back to that. Um see the problem is the vision needs to win more, but I don't know if it's realistic to say the vision with ISO ISO speed is gonna beat the Usos and Lighty.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:58

You know what I mean? Like it it's really a two-on- it's really a three-on-two match as far as wrestling goes. I mean, Iceho Speed's athletic, yes. But we're not talking about a ra we're not talking about a racing match. We're not talking about racing.

SPEAKER_03 12:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:11

You know, we're not talking about jumping or backflipping, we're talking about a wrestling match. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 12:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:16

So realistically, I don't see the vision and speed winning.

SPEAKER_00 12:24

The best chance they have really is like ice show speed, uh, tire them all out. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:31

Unless we get a return.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

Who? Oh Bron Breaker?

SPEAKER_04 12:35

Braun Breaker. He rumors rumors he's cleared.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

You you know why I don't think that's gonna happen? Because um, I think he he gets involved later in the night.

SPEAKER_02 12:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:47

I think yeah uh Seth Rollins versus Gunther.

SPEAKER_04 12:53

Possibly. But if he doesn't, that'd be a good way to bring it back to the Rory Rumble when I still speed and uh and Braunbreaker. ISO speed, you know how he has those looks. His facial expressions are are top tier.

SPEAKER_03 13:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:05

I mean, so hearing Braunbreaker's music and then see ISO Speed face would be a WrestleMania moment in itself.

SPEAKER_03 13:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:12

Because everybody in that everybody who's in that crowd, if you're a wrestling fan, you know exactly why I uh speed is gonna be scared of Braunbreaker. If you don't know why he's scared of Braunbreaker, you ain't watching the wrestler long enough.

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:24

Because everybody should know that.

SPEAKER_03 13:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:26

You know. So, but yeah, I don't know. I mean, I would I would think Bronbreaker would come back sometime, like either this match or the match we're gonna talk about here in a minute. But um, but yeah, I mean, just for me, without any shenanigans, I'm gonna get I'm gonna pick the Utos and uh LA Knight.

SPEAKER_00 13:42

Yep, that's my pick on that one.

unknown 13:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:45

Oh, Dan House can also come in this match if he really wanted to.

SPEAKER_04 13:49

Dan come in any in any match. Well, not any match, but most matches the first matches anyways.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

I mean, if you wanted to, he could come in any match you wanted to.

SPEAKER_04 13:57

Yeah, well, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

But um, but for the next match, it's AJ Lee versus Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 14:06

Bill for this one hasn't been as good as as I wanted it to be.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

Yeah, well, I just I just think they ran this match too much. I think this should have been a stipulation at least.

SPEAKER_04 14:15

It should have been. At this point in time, it should have been a stipulation. They've wrestled.

SPEAKER_00 14:18

They've run like four times, but like it's been different type of matches.

SPEAKER_03 14:22

But this is the first time.

SPEAKER_00 14:26

Uh Mixtag, uh, what was the other one? Uh Elimination Chamber, and this.

SPEAKER_04 14:38

This should have been uh this is the fourth match. Yeah. Yeah. Like I thought you meant the rest of four times already.

SPEAKER_00 14:42

Yeah, she she got it submitted every time in the same way. So I think something needs to change in this match, but like I feel like it's not going to.

SPEAKER_04 14:53

I mean, like you said, you but here's the thing, though. You have I think this is gonna be a better match between the two. AJ Lee has got some some tread under her belt now, you know, coming back from but this is her, this is her first WrestleMania in 11 years. Yeah. And she came back after 10 years. So I think, like, even with CM Punk, they always say, oh, he he was gone for 10 years. From WWE he was. But people forget he wrestled at AEW.

SPEAKER_01 15:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:18

AJ Lee has not wrestled at all in 10 years.

unknown 15:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:21

Before she came back. I mean, she had she did a little TV show where she just didn't wrestling, but as far as like actually in a ring, you know, on TV, she hasn't really done it like that, you know.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

Um, and also I think I think what happens, uh, this also it goes into a raw prediction. I think AJ Lee wins, and then Paige returns on the Raw Germania and beats AJ Lee for the title.

SPEAKER_04 15:45

Possibly. Yeah, we the rumors, the rumors of the page time with WWE that came out that broke over the weekend. Um, so we'll see. I I think the the quick what we'll talk about, I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll come back to this one here in a minute on why the page thing. But um for this match, like you said, if AJ Lee wins, they have to do the page thing.

SPEAKER_03 16:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:10

But I think they may have to use her later on.

SPEAKER_00 16:13

Oh, I think yeah, I have to figure out what you're doing. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 16:16

Like it's just I we'll talk about that one in a minute, we'll get to that match. But um I'ma I'm gonna I'ma say, but Becky has to win this match. She can't go four, she can't go over four.

SPEAKER_03 16:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:28

I mean, page comes back. I'm gonna pick Becky Lynch.

SPEAKER_03 16:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:36

That's what I think is gonna win this match. Right?

SPEAKER_03 16:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:40

Becky needs, I mean, she doesn't need to win, but she needs to win, if that makes sense. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 16:45

Like, she obviously Becky Lynch doesn't need a win, but like she's been getting beat by aging left and right.

SPEAKER_04 16:51

You're being getting beat down by her over three. It'd be over four. You can't go over and four against somebody.

SPEAKER_00 16:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:55

Like there's nothing you can do after that.

SPEAKER_00 16:56

Like, that's worse than Seth Rowling and Cody Rhodes. Because they they have one-on-one matches.

SPEAKER_04 17:00

Or Seth Rollins and CM Punk.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:03

Yeah. I think it was I think that was three matches, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00 17:07

And Seth got beat every one, right?

SPEAKER_04 17:08

Yeah, I think so, yeah. So I mean, I think Becky needs to win, but barn, the we'll talk about that. I'll come back to that one in a minute. Just remind me on that one.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

All right. All right. So uh that's what you're gonna say. You think uh AJ Lee's gonna win?

SPEAKER_04 17:25

No, uh Becky Lynch Barn the Page choice, but I'll come back to this in a minute when we talk about it.

Seth Rollins Versus Gunther Logic

SPEAKER_00 17:30

I think AJ Lee's gonna win. Oh, yeah, and I'm I'm gonna say I'm going 13 for 13 this entire weekend. Okay. I just want to put that out there. Uh, the next match is Seth Rollins versus Gunther.

SPEAKER_04 17:40

The ring general. Basically, this match is basically to to see who the best wrestler is. I mean, that's that's what the build-up is. I mean, we we're we're kind of we were kind of confused on why Gunther attacked Seth Rollins.

SPEAKER_03 17:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:55

Uh we thought, you know, we thought Paul Heyman was doing it, but then come out Paul Heyman wasn't using them. But Gunther wants something from Paul Heyman. We pretty much know we well, most people think it's because Gunther wants Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

And if that's so, I think Gunther has to win because he can't lose the match and still get a match with Brock Lesnar.

SPEAKER_04 18:13

No.

SPEAKER_00 18:14

How's he gonna lose the match against Seth?

SPEAKER_04 18:16

Which goes back to what you were saying about Brian Parker coming back and helping out, helping to win. You know, I mean, Seth doesn't really need this win. I mean, uh, we know who Seth is. He's been doing it for over a decade.

SPEAKER_00 18:28

Neither of them really need the win.

SPEAKER_04 18:29

I mean, Seth been doing almost 15 years now. I mean, WWE wise, he's been wrestling probably 20 years total now. So he doesn't really need this win. We know he's one of the best wrestlers of all time. I mean, that's that's that's a given. You know, I mean, if you watch wrestling enough, you know Seth Rollins is one of the best. You know. Um, but yeah, this match is more of a supremacy match to see kind of it's kind of like the was it uh was it Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania year, uh a couple decades ago when they wrestled?

SPEAKER_00 18:58

Uh well I would I wouldn't know.

SPEAKER_04 19:00

Yeah, but I think it was something like that where it's like see who the best wrestler is.

SPEAKER_00 19:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:04

Because you got Mr. WrestleMania versus the best wrestler.

SPEAKER_03 19:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:07

And so I think that's why why Steph Rollins used um the new Mr. WrestleMania.

SPEAKER_03 19:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:14

It's kind of like heartback on the Shawn Michaels thing, you know? So, but yeah, Gunther is definitely like Learn Taker always says he's a throwback to the old generation of wrestlers. Um but yeah, I I don't think Steph is gonna win. He doesn't need to win. Gunther's gonna win this.

SPEAKER_00 19:31

Yeah, because he he because he needs to win the match to cash in the thing.

SPEAKER_04 19:35

Absolutely. Well, he doesn't have to win to cash in.

SPEAKER_00 19:38

Well, yeah, but like if think about it, if he loses to Steph Ronald's, what does that help pay Paul Paul Heyman with? That doesn't help Paul Heyman at all.

SPEAKER_04 19:45

True. Yeah, because then with Sam Punt did it, he he they have they have win the but uh the um organiz.

SPEAKER_03 19:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:52

So yeah, that's what you just say, yeah. Yeah, he kind of has to win. Or at least hurts the problems.

SPEAKER_00 19:59

But uh yeah, so so um for next match on you were done with that?

SPEAKER_02 20:05

Yeah, yeah, I got gone through on that one.

Women’s Tag Title Wildcards

SPEAKER_00 20:06

Okay, yeah, I got gonna throw too. So for the next match on the card, it's um it's the Fatal Four Way, it's the Irresistible Cross versus Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss versus Bailey and Lyra versus the Bella twins for for the uh women's tag team championships. Okay, so for this one, I I think I knew what you were about to say, but me you you can get into it first. I have my opinion on that.

SPEAKER_04 20:30

So yeah, if if if any of y'all watched the Hall of Fame, it was pretty late at night, doing the red carpet, the nick the bells was there.

SPEAKER_03 20:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:40

Nikki had a boot on on her foot. Normally when you have a boot on, that means you're seriously injured.

SPEAKER_03 20:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:47

Right? Most of the time you don't wear a boot. She said she had the boot on um just to keep everything you know safe from her walking. Understandable. But most of the time when you have a boot on like that, you're not cleared. She said she's gonna be there.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

Yeah, be there doesn't mean that there we go.

SPEAKER_04 21:09

She said she's gonna be there. She's she's not gonna leave her sister's side. There you go. Okay. They could pull a Becky Lynch. Like they not without without the attack. Remember uh last year, Bailey lost. Well, we're not gonna talk about that when Bailey got screwed over a few times during the Pete, the big the big matches, the big PLEs. Yeah, but she got taken out on SmackDown before WrestleMania. Laura needed a tag partner, Becky Lynch comes back.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_04 21:40

Okay, who's to say they can't do not a repeat, but something similar where our developed twins come out, they talk, and Nikki says, Hey, unfortunately, I'm not clear to wrestle, but I found a replacement, and boom, Page's music is and also what

SPEAKER_00 22:00

They could do if they really wanted to, they don't have to. But they could be Brie and Page if they win. If they win. Um, it could be Brie and Paige. And then um, then like once Nikki's clear, she could like take the title back, maybe.

SPEAKER_04 22:14

Yeah, true. But here's my here's what I here's what I want to happen. Well, if I was booking it, here's what I would want to happen. If if Nikki Bell is cleared and she can wrestle, yeah, and Paige is resigned with the LB, right?

SPEAKER_03 22:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:29

Don't have Paige come out this weekend at all.

SPEAKER_03 22:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:32

Right? What you do is, just like you did years ago, about 12, 13 years ago now. Yeah. About thirteen, thirteen years ago, you have AJ Lee, well, AJ Lee and Becky Lynch. AJ Lee wins the belt. She comes out on Monday Night Raw, like she did last time, and as she's talking about who she wants to fight, who she wants to wrestle and face, and all that, Paige's music hits. And they run back the match where Paige beat AJ Lee in her first match.

SPEAKER_01 23:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:07

And she was the women's champion and the NXT women's champion at the same time. Or Diva Champion back then.

SPEAKER_00 23:13

And now she could do the same thing, but instead of her first match, it's her debut.

SPEAKER_04 23:18

Her reday. And that would be a full circle moment. You know what I'm saying? Like that could be a way to do it. The fans go crazy. But I don't know if they're gonna give Paige the belt that quick, though. Because she's first time back. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 23:30

Like, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:31

I think it'd be better for her to come back in this tag team match. That way she wants to do as much because it's a tag team match. Yeah. She wants to wrestle the whole time. You know what I mean? Like she gets the Aaron Conn in the belt, then they're they're gonna expect her, or not expect her, but she's gonna have to defend that belt and wrestle more. You know what I mean? Yeah. So like when AJ Lee came back, remember she was in a tag team match.

unknown 23:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:52

So she wanted to wrestle the whole time. That first match with Becky Lynch, you can tell she was a little slow. She was still getting used to back back used to wrestling, you know? And um and all that kind of stuff. But but with all that being said, I I don't know. I mean, if Paige is back, congrats, welcome back. Um hope they hope they do it right. You know, you know, W has changed a lot since she left last time um for the better, especially for women. Yeah um but yeah, I just I just want to see what's gonna happen in this one. I mean, um who do you have winning this match?

SPEAKER_00 24:26

I would I would have sent the Bella twins, but I didn't know Nikki came out with the boot because I didn't watch the whole thing. I only watched like a little bit of it.

SPEAKER_04 24:33

She came out with the boot um yesterday at the at the red carpet. And Biggie asked her, he's like, Are you good? She was like, Yeah. She didn't say she was prepared or anything. She said she'll be there tomorrow. I don't think she, I don't remember her. I have to re-watch it, but I don't remember her saying she's gonna wrestle tomorrow. Or she said she'll be there tomorrow and she's not gonna be her sister, which is not saying she's gonna be wrestling, but she she'll still be there. If she's caused a spring ankle, especially if it was a hot spring, that's that's a couple weeks, that's a couple months. That's not a high couple weeks.

SPEAKER_00 25:01

But if Nikki's good to wrestle, I think the Bellows are winning. But if not, I think Bailey and Lyra are winning. But I don't know, like to officially pick, who are you gonna pick?

SPEAKER_04 25:11

But um, see, here's my thing. Here's my thing. I know, I know a lot of people would not be, I didn't, I don't think you did, complaining about the women's tag team division not being strong. They have a uh this match has four, five, six women champions in this match.

SPEAKER_02 25:35

What do you mean? Like who won the world title?

SPEAKER_04 25:38

Who won a women's championship? Uh Niax, Sharon Alexa, Bailey, and Nikki Bella.

unknown 25:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 25:47

And Bree Bella mighty one, but I know Nicki Bella won for sure. So you see what I'm saying? Like you got you got one, two, three, four, five, five. Five women champions in this match. At some point in time, one or two of them are going a singles belt. You know what I mean? Whether it's Bailey, whether it's Charlotte, whether it's Alexa, whether it's Naya, whether it's Laz, or whether Lyra wants to get a belt like Laj. You know, get their first singles belt. Um who do I want? Like, I'm I mean, I'm a fan of Bailey. Anyways. So but does Bailey need a tag team championship belt? I don't think so. I think it works. I think she needs to turn back heel again. You know what I mean? Because I don't know if her and Lyra is working. You know what I mean? I don't know if they're working anymore.

SPEAKER_03 26:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:44

So I would say I want to say it's like nothing that happened last year with Becky. With Lyra getting turned on. It happened last year with Becky. I don't want to say that happens again.

SPEAKER_02 26:56

But that's a horrible one.

SPEAKER_04 27:00

Because Charlie Lex don't need it. They don't need it at all.

SPEAKER_00 27:03

No. Because they need to turn on the side.

SPEAKER_04 27:06

They need to go ahead and turn and start a feud and get ready for Tumblr Slam. Um, and Naya and Lash is a good combo. You got a good young talent with a veteran. That's a good matchup with tag teams right there, because that gives uh Lash a chance to learn from a veteran. You know, especially a bigger, a big woman too. Like not a big one, but you know what I'm saying, like a yeah, like a strong powerhouse woman. And that way, that's what Laz is. She's the younger version of Naya.

SPEAKER_00 27:35

And also another thing, I think the irresistible forces have just been too dominant to win. Because like they can't be this dominant and still go in and sweep. I mean, they could, but like, I don't think that's gonna go. It's not gonna go that way.

SPEAKER_04 27:47

Yeah, but we'll see.

SPEAKER_00 27:49

I think they're gonna be teaming up on them the entire match.

SPEAKER_04 27:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:51

But they should anyways, if they're playing smart.

SPEAKER_04 27:54

True, true. But like I said, I I kind of want to see Bailey get her WrestleMania moment again. She hadn't had one in a few years since she beat um EO.

SPEAKER_00 28:03

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 28:04

You know, with the EO when she um I mean after last WrestleMania, she had. Yeah, so that's when she won the uh the women's championship, right?

SPEAKER_00 28:10

Yeah. That's the first one she's had in a while, right?

SPEAKER_02 28:14

WrestleMania win? Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 28:17

Is it? 'Cause she wasn't at 39, was she?

SPEAKER_02 28:21

Can't remember.

SPEAKER_00 28:22

She wasn't at 38.

SPEAKER_02 28:24

I can't remember.

SPEAKER_04 28:25

I look up to see.

SPEAKER_00 28:26

Pretty sure.

SPEAKER_04 28:28

But uh I don't know. I mean, just the just the point of Bailey needs a I think she needs to she needs this win. You know what I mean? I mean not not not so for for her and and uh and Lyra but for just her in general.

SPEAKER_03 28:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 28:50

No, it was uh so 30 39 was um 39 was a six-woman tag match. Trish, Lita, Becky versus uh damage control.

SPEAKER_00 29:01

Oh yeah, and they lost that.

SPEAKER_04 29:02

They lost that, yeah. They lost that. And 38 was the uh the one we went to.

SPEAKER_02 29:09

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 29:09

And she wasn't at that one, was she?

SPEAKER_02 29:11

No, I don't think I don't remember. Yeah, I don't remember. Uh looking now. No, I don't think she was at it. No, she wasn't.

SPEAKER_00 29:24

No, she wasn't. So yeah, this uh so yeah, 40 was one like her last wonderful like not last, but the like her last one in a lot in a while.

SPEAKER_04 29:36

Yeah, where she won, yeah. And then she wasn't doing last year, so I think she needs this win more than anybody else in this match, to be honest. I mean, Nikki and Bree are just now coming back. They don't need it. I mean, granted, they they were the one of the first tag teams in women's division. They didn't have a tag team built back then.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

They were always but they never won the tag team.

SPEAKER_04 29:59

They never had they didn't have them.

SPEAKER_00 30:01

Like they they never had it before they like before they left, no.

SPEAKER_04 30:04

Um no, they didn't have to remember recently with uh Bailey and Sasha, remember?

SPEAKER_00 30:08

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 30:08

And Nikki and Nikki and Bree was already gone by then.

SPEAKER_03 30:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 30:12

So yeah, so they were already gone by then. I think Nikki, Nikki, did she come back for the evolution? I can't remember. But anyways, um, but yeah, so they didn't have the tag team belts when Nikki and Bree were wrestling all the time. So this is their this is why they this is why they they were in this match. They're like, hey, we're the ones who started the tag team women's divisions, we just didn't have your tag team built. Because they had a lot of tag matches. They just didn't have a built to go along with it. So they were one of the them and um la cool were like two of the not the ear, not because the aircraft was probably something back in the 80s, but as far as like the 2000, they're probably the pioneers of like the the new age women wrestling matches. You know what I mean? Lele and Michelle McCool was also like La Cool. They were also taxing, you know.

SPEAKER_01 30:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 30:59

I think they I think they even shared the women's belt at one point in time. They had like the free bird rule with the belt. They're like tag team champs, but they only was the women's belt.

SPEAKER_01 31:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 31:08

With a division belt, rather. They were like, they were like one of them defended once, the other one would defend the other.

SPEAKER_03 31:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 31:13

So yeah, it was kind of weird, but it's how it works.

SPEAKER_00 31:18

But uh, yeah, so what'd you pick? Well, I I didn't even pick anybody, but I'm gonna say Bailey and Lyra because I would say the Bellas, but I just don't know who you didn't want the irresistible forces. Uh I I think they've been too dominant to come in and lane in and win.

SPEAKER_04 31:33

I mean, they can still be dominant and not be dominant, but you can they can win because the other ones are fighting with each other.

SPEAKER_03 31:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 31:40

I think Charlotte and Lexter are going at Lyra and and Bailey. Charlotte tried to knock uh Lyra off the built off the rope the other day.

SPEAKER_03 31:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 31:48

So they're going at it. Uh Nikki and Bree, you know, they can be going at it. And so Larry, uh Naya and Laz, Larry just come in and get the get the scraps. And not even be dominant, just just be opportunity.

SPEAKER_01 32:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:03

You know. So we'll see. We'll see how it goes. But yeah, uh, I got Becky and Lyra. Although Bae, Bae, I'm sorry, not Becky. Bailey and Lyra winning. Bailey needs to win, I think, more than any other win woman is in this in this match. So, but yeah, that's not the call that one.

SPEAKER_00 32:19

But uh, yeah, I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna have to agree with that.

SPEAKER_04 32:22

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 32:23

Uh say Bailey and Lyra. So yeah, that's all you have for that.

SPEAKER_04 32:28

Yep, that's it for that one. Should be good. Should be a good match, though.

Women’s World Title Story Paths

SPEAKER_00 32:31

And uh next on the card in the coming event is Stephanie Vacare versus Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship.

SPEAKER_04 32:39

Probably second.

SPEAKER_00 32:43

Best built?

SPEAKER_04 32:44

Best built, maybe. One depending on how you depend on what you like.

SPEAKER_00 32:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:48

But this probably definitely the second, solid second, number two.

SPEAKER_00 32:54

And they they haven't even like they've that have vignettes and like a little bit of time, but like they never have much.

SPEAKER_04 33:01

See, that's the thing I like. See, this this this is this is what you call effective but simple.

SPEAKER_03 33:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 33:06

Because they haven't had as much time as the men main event, the men championship has.

SPEAKER_03 33:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 33:10

They didn't have the full 15, 20, 30 minutes in the ring with each other.

SPEAKER_00 33:15

Yeah, and also, and also Jade Carga and Rhea Lip Ripley, they have a lot of time, but that's not really that good of a yeah, we'll talk about that one on the on on WrestleMania Sunday. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 33:25

But yeah, but but I think this one right here has been a great build. Um I mean, you see Lil' face, her face is still messed up.

SPEAKER_01 33:35

It is?

SPEAKER_04 33:36

Yeah, it's still messed up from that from that one uh from when Tiffany uh hit her and she bumped in um.

SPEAKER_00 33:42

Yeah, that was ice.

SPEAKER_04 33:43

And then dance throwing toward TV. I mean, so yeah, so she still has the bruises under her eyes and the big um knot on her forehead. Not as big as it used to be, it's not as big as it was, but still bruised. But I mean, I th I think I see makeup makeup makeup probably cover up the eyes, but that bruise on the forehead, it's gonna be hard to cover, but a a knot. Yeah, we can cover the color of it up, but you'll still probably be able to see it.

SPEAKER_03 34:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 34:10

You know, but but yeah, so we'll see how that goes. Um, yeah, this is probably the like I said, they haven't had much time to build. They had a couple of backstage things uh attacking each other, you know, back and forth talking. They had the thing where uh Stephanie made live cry, even though Stephanie said there were crocodile tears. Um make it look like she, you know. But but yeah, um this is the good match. Now who wins this match? It depends on what I where I want this to go after it. Because if I don't know if I don't know what's going on next, Stephanie's gonna win. Right. But the way they've been building certain things up in the judgment day, yeah, I think Liv has to win. And she either feuds with Roxanne or Raquel.

SPEAKER_02 35:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 35:09

So Roxanne, we talked about that before when she asked her about Finn Balor, remember?

SPEAKER_03 35:15

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 35:16

Finn Balor brought Roxanne into the judgment day.

SPEAKER_00 35:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 35:22

She never asked that question.

SPEAKER_00 35:23

Yeah, because she she got hit by Stephanie.

SPEAKER_04 35:25

There you go. They never they never resolved that that when she said, let me talk to you for a minute, and they they never resolved that.

SPEAKER_00 35:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 35:31

So we don't we still don't know if Roxanne is is with Finn or is she with the judgment day. We tell them that for a fact.

SPEAKER_02 35:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:41

So who's to say that Roxanne doesn't turn or do something on Monday night or I think if something does happen, it's either gonna happen uh tomorrow or on Monday.

SPEAKER_04 35:53

Or Monday, yeah. Tomorrow means tonight. Tonight. That's on the call tonight, right?

SPEAKER_00 35:59

You like tomorrow, like like demon uh Oh demon fan.

SPEAKER_04 36:02

Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, demon.

unknown 36:04

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_04 36:05

But um But yeah, if if storyline purposes, Liv has to win, but just for the the match itself, that's that's a horrible because like I said, Stephanie has she hasn't really defended her belt much. And she needs WrestleMania moment.

SPEAKER_00 36:17

I mean, yeah, she didn't yeah, she didn't defend it really at all.

SPEAKER_04 36:20

No, I mean she needs WrestleMania moment, but she'll have hers plenty of times. But Liv has had hers already too, though. So with that one, I just I won't I won't live, I won't live to feud with either Raquel or Roxanne. I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna pick Liv to win. I want to see the storyline going forward.

SPEAKER_00 36:39

Yeah, same. I'ma say Liv Morgan to win that.

SPEAKER_04 36:43

That's why you can go 13-13. You pick them all my picks.

SPEAKER_00 36:46

No, I only picked two of your picks so far.

SPEAKER_04 36:47

Well, you got all my picks, except for the except for Becky Lynch AJ Lee.

SPEAKER_00 36:51

No, because Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:54

Uh-huh. Except for Becky Lynch AJ Lee one.

SPEAKER_00 36:56

Well, I picked him first.

SPEAKER_02 36:58

Mm-hmm. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 37:01

Alright, and the main event is Cody Rose versus Randy O'Ren. Uh with Pat McAfee.

SPEAKER_02 37:05

Yeah, I forgot with Pat McAfee. I mean.

SPEAKER_00 37:11

Yeah, not the greatest thing ever.

SPEAKER_04 37:12

I'm just gonna tell you like this. I'm I'm gonna I'm just gonna uh be like this. The women's match should be main event tonight.

SPEAKER_00 37:19

Yeah, because like this this match, they didn't even get a one-on-one conversation.

SPEAKER_04 37:22

But not not even that, not even that. The fact is, it's like this. This is what I would do if I was creative, right? The men's Royal Rumble winner, normally, depending on what kind of match it is, gets the main event on night two, normally. Right? Normally, not all the time because we saw what happened last year.

SPEAKER_00 37:41

Uh yeah, with Jay Usa, they like started it, right? Or something. Like it was one of the first matches.

SPEAKER_04 37:46

Yeah, but so normally the men's the men and Royal Rumble winner main events, night two or wrestling Sunday now, right? What they should also do is give the women Royal Rumble match Saturday night main event.

SPEAKER_00 38:02

Well, if it warrants it, sometimes it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_04 38:05

If you build it upright, it will.

SPEAKER_00 38:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 38:06

Look at Stephanie and Liv. That can easily be the main event over COVID.

SPEAKER_03 38:10

It should be the main event.

SPEAKER_04 38:11

It should be the main event. And I'm gonna down that hill. It should definitely be. I don't care what the plan was, what you want it to be, Stephanie and Liv should main event Sarah night.

SPEAKER_03 38:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 38:23

Absolutely. I don't think anybody in the crowd would be mad at that. Nobody. I don't think anybody mad at that one. If they if they were the main event. I mean, we've only had how many people have main event in WrestleMania? Two matches, three matches?

SPEAKER_00 38:37

Uh it was uh Rhea and Charlotte. They main event? Yeah, wait. Oh, they didn't. No, they didn't. Oh they didn't. That was that was the tag team match.

SPEAKER_04 38:46

Yeah. So you had so you had the first one, which was Becky, the triple threat. You had Becky, uh, Rhonda and Charlotte.

SPEAKER_02 38:57

Then you had Bianca and Sasha or Mercedes. That's it. That's it.

SPEAKER_04 39:07

Is that it? I don't I sound like it's on top of the head.

SPEAKER_00 39:11

Let me um if it's what was Who was 38? The one we went to, what was the main event for that one? It was I know it was Brock and Roman. Oh yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:25

Is that it? Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Um Yeah. That's only two.

SPEAKER_04 39:43

WrestleMania 35, uh triple threat match, winner takes all, and WrestleMania 37, light one. Uh Bianca versus Sasha.

SPEAKER_03 39:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 39:51

And that was the two main events. This one right here is this right here absolutely deserves it.

SPEAKER_03 39:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 39:56

The triple threat last year deserved it.

SPEAKER_03 39:59

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:00

I mean, I mean, essentially we put Rhea into when she didn't really deserve to be in there, but she's in there. Um, but yeah, I mean, this absolutely deserves to be main event. I don't I don't care what anybody else says, this deserves to be main event. So, I mean, I I don't really know what much to say about this because they didn't they didn't build this up right at all. This this might be this may be one of the worst builds for a title match that I've seen in a while.

SPEAKER_03 40:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:24

I mean, it I will have to really go back and think and look at some stuff to remember which one I saw that might have been worse than this far as bills. Not talking about the match itself, but the potential like there are some matches where it's like, that's that's not a good matchup. I don't want to see that.

SPEAKER_03 40:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:40

This match was one of the ones where dang I can't wait to see that. And I was like, Yeah. Okay. Whatever. You know? So that's that's the thing with me, is I I I would the bill should have been way better. I mean, whoever, you know, the rumors TKO got involved, it don't matter. The problem is even if they got involved, you you couldn't make it work.

SPEAKER_00 41:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 41:03

You know, you still could have had Randy and Cody talking instead of having instead of having Pat freaking McAfee as the mouthpiece.

SPEAKER_00 41:11

Yeah, you know what?

SPEAKER_04 41:11

Like he's not Paul Heyman.

SPEAKER_00 41:13

Yeah. I think the main thing is it should have been well, I would have done it would have should have been Randy and Cody, like the two main people and and Pat in the back instead of Pat and Cody and Randy in the back.

SPEAKER_04 41:27

Exactly. Because like, like you can you can have you can have Pat there explaining why he why he was telling Randy what to do. Cool, that makes sense. Okay. Telling Randy to get back into his old self and do all that. Okay, that makes sense. Now step back and let Randy do what he gotta do.

SPEAKER_00 41:42

Because like like WWE, like TKO stepped in, but they can still book the show.

SPEAKER_04 41:46

Like, yeah, I mean the Triple A still runs creative, yeah. So he can still figure out a way to make it work, even if he gets overwritten on who was in the match.

SPEAKER_00 41:55

Yeah, you know, because I think it was supposed to be their rock.

SPEAKER_04 41:57

I you know, I can't wait for I can't wait for Unreal Season. Was it season three? The four?

SPEAKER_00 42:01

Yeah, we're up there on season three. We're not we're not on, but the last one was season two.

SPEAKER_04 42:05

Yeah, whatever this right here, whatever season right here is gonna be whether three or four, I can't wait to see this right here.

SPEAKER_00 42:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 42:09

To see what happened with if if they show what happened with this, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 42:12

They might just like rush over like it never happened.

SPEAKER_04 42:14

Well, they did it with the uh season one with the uh the rock thing, remember? Oh, yeah, talking about with the rock and cody.

SPEAKER_00 42:20

Yeah, but that that wasn't that wasn't like that was supposed to happen.

SPEAKER_04 42:23

That was but saying it was supposed to rock versus Roman Ryan. And then the fans went crazy.

SPEAKER_00 42:28

Yeah, but then WWE tried to brush it off like they was that was always the plan, too.

SPEAKER_04 42:32

True. So I'm just saying, we'll see how if if they talk about this. Obviously, you know, Unreal shows you a lot of behind the scenes. Obviously, don't show you everything.

SPEAKER_01 42:40

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 42:40

Because they're not gonna show you every single thing that happens behind the scenes. They're gonna show you what they want you to see. So we still know everything that happens. Like they can say, oh yeah, this is supposed to happen this way. You know, but but um but yeah, so like I said, this the match could be a good match, but I'm not excited for it. I mean, it could be a good match, it could be a great match with these two guys. But I'm not really excited for it right now.

SPEAKER_01 43:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:09

I mean, they didn't do enough to convince me to to one. I mean, I'm gonna watch it like I always do. I've been watching WrestleMania for years, but I'm gonna still watch it, but you know what I mean? Like it's it's I'm not I'm not like, oh man, I can't wait to see Randy and Cody Wrestling now.

SPEAKER_03 43:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:23

The build up wasn't wasn't good. I mean, nothing I mean, nothing against them two guys. It's just they didn't get them the right opportunity to build.

SPEAKER_00 43:30

Yeah, the feud relies heavy on the match. Like, heavy on the match.

SPEAKER_04 43:34

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 43:35

But um, so anyways, I think Randy wins because um Jilly Road might get involved, but I still see Randy.

SPEAKER_04 43:45

Pat said that we'll talk about that in a second, too. Pat said that if if if Randy loses, he's gone.

SPEAKER_00 43:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:52

And it looks like they're building up for a tag team match at Backlash.

SPEAKER_00 43:55

Yeah, so that's probably not gonna happen.

SPEAKER_04 43:57

So the it doesn't look like it's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_00 43:59

They basically wrote that. He's there he's Randy's gonna win.

SPEAKER_04 44:01

Yeah, the question is how? Like like for instance with Cody last year. Not last year. Well yeah he beat Roman Reigns last year?

SPEAKER_00 44:10

Cody?

unknown 44:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 44:11

Uh 40.

SPEAKER_04 44:13

40. When he beat Roman Reigns.

SPEAKER_00 44:14

Yeah, before the Philadelphia.

SPEAKER_04 44:17

So going into that one, we knew Cody was gonna win that match. Absolutely. You couldn't have told me he was gonna lose that match. Nobody was gonna told me he could convince me gonna lose that match.

SPEAKER_01 44:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:27

But the way it happened, Undertaker, The Rock, was it John Singer came out?

SPEAKER_03 44:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:32

All dude came out. You couldn't tell, you couldn't have told me that was gonna happen.

unknown 44:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:36

No, you're talking about John Cena that Cody was gonna win? Absolutely. No questions asked. But if you had told me John Cena and Undertaker were gonna come out as well, no, ain't no way. You knew the rock gonna come out. We knew the rock was coming out. Because the rock beat Cody Rose down already. We knew the rock was gonna come out, but I had no idea that those two guys were gonna come out to help Cody. You know. So maybe this right here could be something similar where, okay, we know Rainey's gonna win. But the question is, how's he gonna win now? That's what we gotta figure out now. That's that's the only good exciting part about it is okay, I know Randy's gonna win welcome to this match. How's he gonna win now? Is it gonna be somebody comes out, somebody debuts, somebody read you know, returns, some other form of shenanigans going on?

SPEAKER_00 45:20

He could he could use the punt this match.

SPEAKER_04 45:22

He could. That's what I'm saying. Like who what happens in this match is the only thing I'm really excited about is okay, how are they gonna let Randy win?

SPEAKER_02 45:31

You know, so but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 45:35

But uh yeah, so I mean that's the that's the it for the show. You think Randy's gonna win too? Yep, think Randy's gonna win too. Yep, I agree with that.

SPEAKER_04 45:42

So yeah, um, so yeah, WrestleMania Saturday, uh, or night one, whichever we want to call it. Night one is Saturday, same thing. Um, you know, seven matches on this card. Comes on six o'clock, uh, first hour. It's gonna be uh Drew versus Jacob and the six men with division, Ice I show speed and versus the Usos and LA Knight. So um, yeah, I'm looking forward to a good night of wrestling. Well, good weekend of wrestling count tomorrow, but yeah, uh as always, I'm Ben in the episode of Tag Team Talk.
