Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Fleet! Greetings and salutations, my friends. Welcome back to another one here on Insight. I'm CVV, Chris Van Fleet. Thank you for being with us on this episode. And thank you for making Insight the number one wrestling podcast on the planet. Lay the smack down on that follow button on Spotify or Apple or wherever it is that you're listening right now. and thank you for being a real one and listening to an Ask CVV episode.

I understand if you'd want to listen to an interview with Penta or Chris Jericho or Dave Batista or John Sino or The Undertaker or whoever the guest might be. But if you're here on an Ask CVV episode and it's just me and you hanging out, you are a real one. And shout out to all the real, real ones. We created a whole new category here. Everybody who came out to the first ever live episode of insight that we did during Royal Rumble weekend in Indianapolis, it was a blast. It was an absolute blast hanging out with you guys and our special guest, Carlito. A lot of laughs.

Carlito is, we already knew he was funny, but man, he was just working that audience into a frenzy. So thank you. If you're listening right now when you were there, I appreciate you. It was such a blast. We have three more live shows on the sky. schedule right now and a few more that we're working on, which I hopefully can tell you about soon. But Toronto, we're doing two shows around Elimination Chamber the day before and the day after. The guests for the day after, the guests for Sunday, March 2nd have just been announced.

It's all three members of the Hurt Syndicate, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP. Then we got a show during WrestleMania Week at Circa, Resort, and Casino in Las Vegas. Tickets for all of those shows are available right now at CVVTix.com. I hope that you come out and you have a blast with me. It was so much fun being able to just, we did a, we did a Q&A first for all the VIPs. We did, it was like a live Ask CVV, which was so much fun, me and just a hundred of my closest friends, you guys in the audience. Then we opened up the doors for everybody else and the place was sold.

out. And those tickets sold out pretty quick. So if you're thinking of going to either the shows in Toronto or the show in Vegas, grab those tickets now before they sell out because I wouldn't want you to miss out on that. I'm kind of looking back at what 2025 has been so far on Insight. And man, this has been wild. Like the guests that we've had already have been crazy. And I know that we're just getting started. So make sure you're following. the show so you don't miss out on a few of these big ones that we have coming up. I mean, look, we're on the road to WrestleMania right now. It's a lot of big interviews that could happen between now and WrestleMania. There's a certain man that you can't see that I'm talking to

trying to figure out a time when we can do that interview. So you won't be able to see him. So it's good that you're listening to the podcast because you won't be able to see him. But that one, I'm hopeful we can do that one before. WrestleMania, but I think the invisible man will be back on the show at some point in 2025. Welcome, my friends, to ask CVV number 69, the Brock Lesnar, Jared Allen, David Vaktiari, and the DX edition. If you know, you know, also Moose, Moose wore number 69 for a little bit of time when he was

in the NFL. But thank you for being here on this one. If you have a question for the next one, Ask CVV number 70, leave a comment on Spotify, send it in on social media using that hashtag AskCTVV or shoot me an email, CVV at chris vanfleet.com.

What a week. What a week it has been and we have so much to dive into from the week that was with the Royal Rumble. I was in Indianapolis, like I said. So let's take. dive into this. We'll kick it off with this one from Starfish 09. You spell star with two hours,

so S-T-A-R-R, and then fish like the band, P-H-I-S-H. Starfish 0-9 on Instagram says, how did you feel about being at the Royal Rumble? Did you like Indy? I love Indianapolis. And if you listened a few episodes ago, I was talking about how important that city is, how it just means a lot to me. I won my first two Emmys in Indianapolis at the Speedway. And then we celebrated. by going for a beautiful steak dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I didn't have time to go to any steakhouses this time around. That might be my biggest regret about this trip to Indy is it was just packed. There were so many things that we were doing, recorded four interviews.

I did a TV segment. We had a live show. I had a bunch of other things going on. Didn't have a chance to really sit down and enjoy any meal. A lot of Uber Eats to the hotel room for those meals. But I had a blast in Indy. and also very grateful that the weather cooperated. Like it was 50s, which was beautiful for this time of year.

The Royal Rumble was a blast. I just saw these comments online from people that were saying that the crowd wasn't loud. The crowd wasn't into it. It's always, I always scratch my head when I'm sitting at the event and I see those comments on Twitter or I see those comments on Facebook. And I'm like, I'm here and it's pretty loud. Like I felt I saw the same comments when I went to the first raw on Netflix in L.A. I saw the same comments about Bad Blood and Atlanta. I'm like, no, I'm here and it's pretty loud.

So maybe this doesn't play like that on TV. I don't know. Ceilings pretty high at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Maybe that was it. I don't know. Maybe the sandwich is going up and getting lost up in the rafter somewhere. But I had a blast there. The crowd had a blast.

let's talk about the elephant in the room here. Everybody in Indianapolis seemed to be eaten out of their minds for Jay Uso. But then you go online and people seem to think that this is a terrible decision. I will say this and stop me if you've heard this before, but have a little bit of patience. Okay? Right around this time last year, people didn't know where this story with Cody and Roman and the Rock was going.

And look how that played out. It played out with one of the most memorable main events of a WrestleMania ever. Have a little bit of patience. Because if I told you last February, don't worry, this is going to turn into one of the greatest WrestleMania main events of all time. You would have been like, that's insane. You're crazy. But instead, I just sat back, buckled up a little bit, and waited for the story to play out.

I think that from the outset, maybe he wasn't the person that you predicted would win. Maybe he wasn't even in the top five of people that you would predict to win. But this is the thing I don't understand is if things are too predictable, people will complain, oh, man, it's too predictable. The same people keep winning. It's too easy to just figure this out. It's too easy to guess it. But then if you go on the other end of the spectrum,

and then you pick someone who no one expects to win. Oh, what the heck? They're not giving us who we want. Nobody wants that person to win. So there's this lose-lose situation. You can't give people the predictable person because they'll complain. You can't give people an unpredictable pick because people will complain. And I think that when you're at the level of the people who are making the important decisions in any wrestling company,

you need to just realize that you're doing this for the greater good of the show. And I think that Jay Uso, winning the Royal Rumble, winning the men's Royal Rumble, is one piece of WrestleMania, which at this point is still two and a half months away. We've got time, people. This would be like complaining about the plot of a movie 35 minutes in. Give it some time. At least let a handful of Raws and Smackdowns pass by so we can see where they're going with this. People are already assuming it's Jay Uso versus Gunther. it might not be.

Sure, that's a possibility. That seems like what it might be, but give it some time. Just see how this is going to play out. I kind of feel like WWE learned a lesson when L.A. Knight was white hot and they didn't give him money in the bank.

He was right there. It was in his hands. And they didn't let him win the briefcase. And I feel like that was a missed opportunity because Jay Uso is white hot right now. And I feel like they're capitalizing on this. And he has one of the hottest entrances in all of wrestling right now. The crowd goes wild.

He's been the top merch seller for many months in a row. I just don't understand the criticism here. Like let it play out. Let it see where it's going to go from here. And even if Jay Uso isn't your favorite wrestler, you can't deny his hard work. And the hard work that he's put in over his entire career. Look, I was there in Ontario, California,

just a few months ago, when kind of out of nowhere, a match that was just thrown together at the last minute, Bronbreaker versus Jay Uso, I was not expecting Jay Uso to win. What a fun, nice surprise that was to be live in the audience. And wait a second, I think Jay Uso's, wait a second, wait a second, he is going to win. And I think that that's where wrestling is really special.

And that was such a fun moment in there, and the crowd was going crazy. just let this play out. Let us see where this is going to go because this is already starting to create some other storylines here. We'll get into it a little bit, but John Cena not winning the Royal Rumble is part of the story. It's part of this hero's journey that he's going to go on. Because I also don't think he's going to win elimination chamber.

And then I think that it continues to build the story of John Sina being the true underdog. We'll get into that and a few questions here. But it's so funny. that Charlotte wins the Royal Rumble. By the way, I feel like I should say, that was three for four on predictions. Not too many people had Jay Uso winning the men's Royal Rumble,

but I was three for four on all the other predictions there. Charlotte Flair predictably wins the women's Royal Rumble, and everyone seemed to be fine with that. Fast forward to the next night, they're live in Cleveland for Raw. Who gets cheered? Who gets booed? Jay Uso gets cheered.

The unpredictable didn't see that coming winner gets cheered. Who gets booed? Charlotte Flair, the person who everybody predicted to win. There's just no pleasing people here. This is the thing I don't understand. You pick the predictable person. Charlotte's supposed to be a baby face. So you pick the predictable person.

She gets booed out of the building, even though everybody assumes she was going to win. The unpredictable person, Jay Uso, gets one of the loudest pops of the night on Monday Raw. I just don't understand. I just, there's no pleasing anybody. So which is why I have resorted to the idea of just watching this like a television program and not trying to overanalyze or hyperanalyze or try to just enjoy it.

And that's the thing that I can't quite wrap my head around. Jay Hussaud won. Great. Let's see how it plays out from here. and all of the other pieces of this WrestleMania picture. Let's see how they all play out as well. We've now got open-ended storylines for Roman Raines, for CM Punk, for John Cena, for Seth Rollins.

And Logan Paul was in that Final 4-2. Something's brewing there. There's something there. So, yes, he will get a title shot at WrestleMania. I don't know why people are thinking this might be a main event. It could be. It could be, but there are a lot of other people in there that are going to make this WrestleMania very stacked that I'd be surprised. I know it's only February right now, but I'd be

surprised if that was the main event match. I think it's going to be a great match, but I don't think it's a main event match. Also, hats off to John Sina again. You've got to give John Sina credit for once again putting over another up-and-coming talent, another talent. Like, put over Austin Theory at WrestleMania. Now he's putting over Jay Uso and not just in the match, but the moment after the match as well. There's just something to be said about that. And I think that also ties into this whole John Cena retirement tour and everything going on. Here's a great example of just have a little bit of patience.

And in this example, literally have like 90 seconds of patience. Tazawa comes out for the Royal Rumble, gets beat down, can't enter the Rumble. Triple H ends up sending speed out. What's everybody's initial reaction to speed going out of the Rumble? Oh my gosh, this is terrible. What a waste of a spot. I can't believe this. Who is this guy even?

About 90 seconds later, you were out of your chair and losing your mind because it was the craziest spear that you've ever seen and it is the most viewed host from Royal Rumble, 300,000 social views in less than 24 hours. if you just had a little bit of patience, just a tiny little bit of patience, you would have been able to see how this would play out. And I think that the Jay Uso situation is similar in that way. It's obviously going to take a little bit more than 90 seconds, clearly.

But if you have a little bit of patience, we can see how this is going to play out. Where's it going to go from here? Who are the champions even going to be at WrestleMania? It's Cody and Gunther right now. Yeah, good chance. It could still be Cody and Gunther at WrestleMania, but it might not be.

And that could open up a whole new bunch of storylines from that. But just have a little bit of patience. And you know what's cool about that speed clip? As you can show that speed clip to someone who's not a pro wrestling fan and they'll go, oh my gosh, crazy. It's definitely one of those OMG moments. And the fact that WWE has reposted that same video from various angles, like, I don't know, 17 times on social.

media shows me that they know exactly what that moment is all about. So I think the key word of the day here is just patience. Have just the tiniest bit, just the smallest bit of patience. You might not like the story right now. Give it some time. Have I not provided enough examples here of when something didn't look so great on the surface, didn't look so great in the moment, but if you just waited just a little bit. Oh my gosh. Well, that played out a lot better than I expected. Ryan McCartney emailed this one in. Hey, CVV, it was great to meet you with the first ever live insight in indie and consequently becoming a real, real, real one. I wanted to get your thoughts on why the WWE had Jay Russell Gunther for the World Heavyweight title just one week prior to the Royal

Rumble. That happened on Saturday Night's main event if you don't remember that. I've heard some people say it was such a waste of a match when Jay was just going to win the Rumble. I have a different take. I think that Saturday night's main event match was meant to plant the idea in our head that Jay could really be the World Heavyweight Champion and make us want it even more. That near three count after the Uso splash seemed to send a collective gasp through the wrestling world. What are your thoughts on why they just had that match one week prior to Jay winning the Rumble? It's a great question, Ryan. And I've seen a lot of people say, well, what's the point? There's no buildup here. We already saw that match. Again, just give it some time. I don't think this is just going to be a

throwaway match. This is WrestleMania. And I think that there's going to be, there's some more elements to this. I don't know what they are right now, but there's some more elements to this that we're not seeing just yet. And I think that Jay Uso is for sure a future world champion. Will it happen this year at WrestleMania? Maybe. But I think Jay Uso for sure will end his career as a world champion or perhaps even a multiple time world champion. I just, he's kind of falling into that category that Sina was in many years ago, where the kids love him. The kids wear his merch.

The kids do his, for John Cena, the hand gesture for Jay Uso, the arm gesture. And I feel like there's a certain generation of the audience that. goes, I can't buy into this. It's too gimmicky for me. It appeals to a younger demographic. It's not who I am. So I'm not going to cheer for this. That's fine. That's okay. It is one of the hottest entrances in all of wrestling right now. You can't deny that. And if you don't like it, that's all right. It's okay. But I think that Jay Uso has paid his dues. And Jay Uso has broken out from the incredibly successful tag team that he was a part of. Jay Uso's a single star.

And maybe you didn't want this to happen at WrestleMania. That's okay. It wasn't going to happen last week on Saturday night's main event. But Jay Uso likely will be the world champion, I think, maybe even at some point this year. But I think that, look, Ryan, I think that Jay Uso has been in enough world title conversations, enough world title matches for people to start realizing that, oh, yeah, this is maybe a thing. I think you can also make a similar case, not the same, but a similar case to the journey that Kofi Kingston was on going into WrestleMania 35. There were so many people that were going,

man, he's not even a main eventer, let alone a world champion. What's he doing in this spot? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, here we are six years later going Coffeymania. what a moment. I think you can take it back five years before that to WrestleMania 30. Yesolmania. You just couldn't deny the crowd getting behind Daniel Bryan and that beautiful moment that happened in New Orleans at WrestleMania 30. And I just, I don't know, I think people maybe forget about the build up to these things.

And like this doesn't just happen overnight. It's not like you just win the Royal Rumble and like, we're supposed to instantly care about that match. We don't even know what the match is yet. So just give it a little bit of time. Let, like, let this ride begin before you start saying all these terrible things about it. Jay Hussosso is fantastic. I can't wait to have him on the show at some point.

I haven't figured that out yet, but I love to have him on the show. This one is from Brandon Smith, VTT, OnC on Instagram. Heel, Sina? question mark. He's following everything he said to you about turning heel. He's not showing up to the events beside the pay-per-view, and he just demanded a spot at the chamber. He's also committing to skipping more shows and doing his movies instead. He was laying down almost the entire match and wasn't being featured at all. John Cena's not turning heel, okay? There's only 10 and a half months. Well, if John Cena doesn't wrestle until elimination chamber, which seems

extremely likely. Only 10 more months of John Cena this year. John Cena is not turning heel because John Cena is selling so much merch in every single city that they're going to.

There was L.A. merch for that first raw Netflix. There was Indianapolis merch at the Royal Rumble. You know they're going to do Toronto merch for Elimination Chamber. Heels don't sell merch.

So John Cena is not turning heel. Also, it's not enough time. It's not enough time for him to turn heel and then turn baby face again because he's not going to retire as a heel. It just wouldn't make sense. And I don't think that he demanded a spot in the elimination chamber, but he's working such limited dates. And I believe that he is truly like resting his body and making sure that he's doing this

in the safest way possible so that he doesn't get injured because so much is riding on this John Cena retirement tour. So he's basically just saying like, yeah, after. everything that I've done in this business, you're damn right. I'm going to be in that elimination chamber match. And I think that that's just his way and WWE's way of covering his ass and going, John Sina didn't need a qualifying match for this. It's John Sina, okay? He's going to be in it. You don't like that? Well, that's too bad. Everyone's pretty excited to see John Sina in this match. I feel like there are times, even though I love logic in wrestling. And I love breaking down when

things are not logical. I think there's times when you take the quote unquote greatest of all time, that's the moniker that they've been giving John Cena for the last year or so, who's a 16 time champion, you can just plug him into those matches and people are going to go, yeah, mm-hmm, yeah, that makes sense. I get it. It's been plenty of times when people are plugged into the elimination chamber match at the last minute. You know, it's like just, but I'm in the match. So I don't think John Cena was demanding his spot in there. I think John Sina was basically saying, like, I've got such limited opportunities left. Elimination chamber. Yeah, that's going to be one of them. John Sina's also said 36 appearances. He's now made two. Elimination chamber will be his third one. After that,

33 more appearances. I feel like there's a point in time. Maybe it's close to to WrestleMania, because a story will definitely come out from elimination chamber that will lead into whatever John Sina's WrestleMania matches. I feel like there'll be a time in this schedule when whatever filming of whatever movie is that he's doing right now will be over. And we'll see John Cena more than once a month. I think there'll be a point when we're seeing him like several weeks in a row. And I think to your last point, he was laying down almost the entire Royal Rumble. This is, I think there's two pieces to this. One is what I was saying before. Like, you don't want John Cena getting injured, especially not one month into the retirement.

tour. And number two, this is not really John Cena's time to shine anymore. John Cena is in a match with 29 other people who are hungry for what's next. They're not at a point where they can already see the finish line like where John Cena's at. This was an opportunity for other people to shine. And the spots that John Cena did do, they were memorable. Like the elimination of Logan Paul and then the double attitude adjustment that he was teasing before that. There was a lot of other stuff there that I think John Cena right now

is working in that mode that a great veteran wrestler works in, which is doing less is often more. Any veteran I've talked to will say something along those lines is like, just do less. Like, less facials.

By that I mean facial expressions. Okay? Less. is more. But we can talk about this every week on the show if you guys want, but John Cena is not turning heel. It would have been fun to see right before WrestleMania 28, which was the original plan.

It would have been fun to see, and it was amazing hearing John Cena talk about it in our last interview, but he's not turning heel. He's not. Daniel O'Dare won on Twitter says, hot take here, but I think John Cena will only win one singles match this year. And that would be his last match for a world championship.

What are your thoughts? I think it's a hot take, but I don't think that that's what's going to happen here. I don't think John Cena is going to wrestle a lot of singles matches, but I don't think it's going to be one win, and that's it. I think he will win. He will likely defend maybe a few times. And then I think it's a possibility that maybe he's the champion going into his last match.

And he loses the championship to whoever it may be. Maybe it's Randy Orton. That would make a lot of sense. I'm still holding to that. I'm still sticking to that one. I feel like Randy Orton's going to be his final opponent. But now, I don't think so. I don't think we're going to see a lot of singles matches from John Cena, but I don't

think he just wins one. I think he wins a handful of them. Jerome King 1622 on Twitter. Twitter. CVV, you called it. Joe Hendry was in the Royal Rumble. What did you think of his appearance? One of the biggest pops of the night. And there were a few entrance in both Royal Rumbles,

men's and women's, where people kind of went, like it was three, two, one, and that was it like someone's music hit, and it was like very little reaction. Joe Henry's music hit at 15. and the roof almost came off of that place. Like that was up there with one of the biggest pops of the night along with like John Sina and Alexa Bliss coming back. Jay Hussaw had a huge pop.

I also, I feel like we got to rewind here back to the first question just for half a second here. Not only was I three for four on the predictions, but I also predict Joe Hendry would be in there. I also predicted early weeks ago that Charlotte Flare would be making a return. also predicted that Alexa Bliss would be making a return. Yeah, I was wrong in saying, I didn't say the Hardee's. I said, good chance the Hardis could be there with the partnership of TNA. That didn't happen. That would have been cool to see.

Didn't end up happening. I also said Becky Lynch could be a return that we would see. Didn't happen. But I also feel like that sets up for a real nice surprise return at some point, perhaps on this road to WrestleMania. But Joe Hendry was massive. And I feel like I kind of called it. When I was looking at, I broke out the Chris Jericho cruise schedule and I said, well, look at this.

The cruise goes to Dominican Republic on Sunday. Joe Hendry could catch a flight from Indianapolis to Dominican Republic on Sunday morning, catch the cruise, make his appearance on the Jericho cruise on Monday as scheduled, which was the exact plan. The part of this that I, I guess, forgot to mention or I wasn't aware of, was Joe Hendry was already in Indianapolis. Joe Hendry was scheduled to appear at RussellCon and did appear at RussellCon. So I don't know why I didn't factor that into this whole thing.

Russell Con was like two blocks away from where the Royal Rumble was. So he was already there. By coincidence probably originally. Like originally this was probably a complete coincidence that he was booked for that. And then it just kind of came together. Hey, he's a TNA champion. W.W.E's working with TNA. wild. But think about this. If you slipped into a coma like five years ago and you woke up and I showed

you a photo of Triple H pointing to the current TNA world champion in front of a WWE logo, you wouldn't believe it. Like what timeline are we on right now where that's even a thing? that was such a cool moment just as a huge TNA fan as a huge fan of just Joe Hendry the person I was so happy for him when that happened and I've heard people say oh man he barely lasted in the rumble that's not what this is about like the moment was him coming out he did get tossed up by roman rains maybe there's something there maybe they're you know maybe they're floating something out there for way down the line here but it was a very cool moment I actually ran into Joe at the airport the next day. And I was like, dude, what, what a moment last night?

And he was like, it's crazy. He didn't end up going on the Jericho cruise. I don't know if I'm like saying too much here, but there's a visa that you need to get to Dominican Republic and that didn't end up happening. The correct paperwork was not filed by whoever was responsible for doing that. So he ended up missing missing the booking. And he was distraught. He was like, I've never missed a booking. I'm always the person who always makes the book. And I didn't make this one. And I felt for him because there was literally nothing that he could do in that moment.

But I think the world, the universe has a way of working itself out because if it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have been able to make the appearance on Ariel Hawani's show and have that great interview that they had. and he was talking about that exact photo that I was mentioning about Triple H, giving him the point in front of the WWE logo. But it is just crazy to think that we live in a time right now where the current TNA champion is making active appearances in WWE. Is a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble?

There is a version of me from like the mid-2000s that really wishes this could have happened. then could you imagine AJ Stiles at that point in time being in the Rumble? Could you imagine Samoa Joe at that point in time being in the Rumble? Could you imagine the reaction of a returning Kurt Engel from TNA who's still under TNA contract? Let's call this, I don't know, pick a random year, 2008. You imagine Kurt Engels, W.W.E theme hitting and TNA champion Kurt Engel comes out to the Royal Rumble? that would have been so cool to see. Yeah. I don't know why. That wasn't supposed to be an LA night. Yeah, I was just, yeah, I was just thinking to myself, yeah, that'd be so cool. But we are living in a special time right now with all of the forbidden doors being wide open and almost all of them.

The forbidden doors are all open. They're just open for different companies, I guess, at this point in time. but the vision that Triple H has right now of like, yeah, let's work with TNA. Oh, yeah, let's do this thing with Noah or, yeah, you can appear on that in the show. That's totally cool. There's something really special to that. And there's no longer this gatekeeping thing that's happening with WWE talent. It's like, yeah, if that's a good opportunity for you and if it's a good opportunity to do good business, then yeah,

by all means, do it. Dwayne Lungren sent this one on Facebook. Hey, CVV, was there an Insight show on Tuesday? I can't find it on Spotify or YouTube or anywhere. And the short answer is there was not an episode on Tuesday. It got moved to Thursday.

So we had the Chris Cherico episode on Thursday. The amazing interview with Henta dropped on Friday. It went live just before this AskCTVV episode. And then AskCTVV was in its usual spot on Friday. And I'm going to always keep it completely honest with you guys. You are a real, real one. You're here on an Ask CVV episode.

So what happened was on Saturday. I got an email. I woke up to an email from YouTube that said, it was titled YouTube removed your content. Hi, CVV, it looks like this video. Didn't follow community guidelines. This is a video from 2023. We're going back two years ago.

It didn't follow our community guidelines. To keep our community safe, we removed it from YouTube. And there was really no explanation as to why it was taken down. I, of course, there's a button here. It says review and take action. I appealed it. And it was like seven minutes later, I got an email saying, no, we stand by our decision.

Your video remains removed. In that, I also got put in YouTube jail, which by that I mean you can't post or do anything on YouTube for seven days. Your channel now has one strike. You won't be able to do things like upload, post, or live stream for one week. This strike expires after 90 days. So I had a decision to make. If I couldn't post anything for one week, what do I do?

I reached out to anyone I could possibly reach out to that maybe, hopefully, would have some kind of connection to an actual human being at YouTube, they were all dead ends. I didn't get to anybody. So I wasn't able to post anything, still not able to post anything as you're listening to this right now. I can't post anything until Saturday. So I was like, well, if I put out the Chris Jericho episode on Tuesday on audio, like I always do, then we'd have to wait all of Tuesday, all of Wednesday, all of Thursday, all of Friday, and then the video can be posted on Saturday. I thought, man, that is far too long to wait. So I was like, well, we'd still have to put out three episodes this week because that's

what we always do. And I know because I show up three times a week, you guys also show up three times a week. And that's a little tip for anybody who's a podcaster or aspiring podcaster is the more you show up, the more your audience will start to show up. And the more they will expect it. The amount of messages that I got on Tuesday, like this one, from Dwayne, that was was saying what happened to the episode today will there be an episode why isn't the episode out then the amount of messages i got from people saying why isn't the chris jericho interview on youtube will it ever be on youtube what happened here this is exactly what happened it i was like well i got make this kind of make sense if i put out the jericho interview on thursday then we only have to

wait like 48 hours for that to be on youtube then the penta interview can go up in the podcast on friday and then the next day the youtube video will go up but that's it This has all come down to just some silly, baseless decision from YouTube. And I still can't get an answer as to what exactly went wrong with this video from 23. It was just a standard interview like any of the other ones. So I don't know what happened with this video. I don't know why it didn't follow their policies.

But needless to say, I am still not able to post. until Saturday. So that's what happened. And also on top of that, we had a, this isn't really related to it at all, but to just add on to the craziness that was already happening, we spent an evening in the hospital for our little girl, Logan. Everything's okay. Everything's completely fine. But she tripped and fell just on the floor in the kitchen before she was getting ready for bed or like right before bedtime or for bath time the other night and she started crying and then you know how like kids do that thing where they're like crying so hard they take that big deep breath well she took that big deep breath and she couldn't catch her breath and she ended up passing out

and rachel and i were terrified so we ended up calling 911 we ended up going in an ambulance to the children's hospital and we were terrified. I am terrified as I'm telling you this story right now. Turned out everything was completely fine. Totally okay. This is something called a breathing spell. It happens apparently very frequently to toddlers. If you have a toddler or I've ever had a toddler, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. When kids get so worked up because they're scared or they're angry in some cases, they can not be able to catch their breath. And that's what happened. But oh my goodness, to hold, I was holding her when it happened because I was consoling her. She was, she had fallen and she was crying. I was holding her and her little body

just went limp. And it was so scary. But everything ended up being completely fine. We were in and out the hospital and just a matter of a few hours. But that on top of all of this stuff, it would have been difficult to put out an episode anyway. So everything's totally fine. Nothing to be concerned about. She was back to her usual self the next day, but it was a scary, scary moment.

And I'm so grateful that Rachel's mom was here and was able to look after BBVV, Cooper, our little boy, said that was all taken care of while we went to the hospital that evening and to night. but all of that together is the formula for why the schedule was a little bit wonky this week. And that was also a very eye-opening moment, like a super eye-opening moment of like, like, yeah, you're a, you're a parent now.

You're a dad. And for Rachel, you're a mom. And there's going to be some scary moments like this. And this is the first of many. and I'm just so incredibly grateful that everything's all right and that everything is 100% perfectly okay. But the long and short of it is what a week. What a week. And fingers crossed that YouTube doesn't go searching through my videos videos and find something they don't like from two or more years ago.

this hopefully doesn't happen again. So fingers crossed, but I can't tell you how frustrating it is. Back to the main topic here, frustrating it is to not be able to talk to a human, a YouTube and at least just get some answers. Instead, it's just like a blanking email that you get, and it's like, yeah, you slap on the wrist.

You can't post for a week. And it's like, well, but what do I do? So I thought of a lot of different solutions. and I thought, well, maybe I can just post those to the clips channel. It would be completely out of left field because the clips channel is for clips. And most of the videos on there, aside from the shorts, the videos in there are two to five to eight minutes long. To put an hour in 15 minutes with Chris Jericho on there would have been weird.

But at least it would have been out there. So I thought about a lot of different things. Do I just put the episode out on Tuesday, on Audit? and I don't know. This is what we ended up coming up with, me and a bunch of the people in the team. We were like, yeah, that makes the most sense. So here we are. And all of that is to say, we will be back to normal next week.

So Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and I promise you, we will always have three episodes every single week. Just getting started fit on Instagram says, Hey, CVV, my question for the Ask CVV number 69, the Brock Lesnar slash Jared Allen edition is, have you ever considered doing a quick post show PLE reaction similar to busted open or not Sam? I know you're an extremely busy person. Also, you're at a lot of the post show press conferences, so I understand not doing it. But I would love to hear your immediate reaction to some of these shows.

I'd love to do it, but I just don't think logistically I'd be able to make it happen. And like you said, I met a lot of these shows. I'm also there for the press conference afterwards. I don't think I'd be able to turn it around quick enough to make it happen. So I also think my show's not really a news show. And I love what Busted Open does. I have nothing but an immense amount of love and respect for Dave LaGreca and bully and Mark Henry and Tommy and Denise Salsato and everybody else on the team.

Did you catch me? I'm busted open briefly last week. They were they were doing the show live from Indianapolis. I happened to walk by and they were like, hey, get over here. Mark Henry was like frantically like waving me over. Like we got four minutes left. Get over here. Get over here.

So I was on the show Friday. If you were listening to that, it was so much fun. And I love, I love Sam Roberts. He is not the O.P.T. What is? I can't even, I don't even know what it is. The podcast tribal chief, the original podcast tribal chief. The OPE.

TC. No, I love Sam. And I love what he does with these post-show reactions. My show's not really a news show. Like the Ask CVVs have some news or current stuff woven into them, but it's more of just like, Ask CVV is probably the closest we get to like talking about like current stuff and like what's happening in storylines. But we also talk about a lot of other stuff. Like we've got to, we, we love to dive into like stuff from years ago and just give our thoughts and opinions on that. And then the interviews, yeah, we talk about some current storylines, but the interviews are really just more of a look of like what this person's career. And I'm fascinated with the idea of deconstructing greatness. I'm fascinated by the idea of reverse engineering. Like, how did somebody

get to the spot that they're at right now? Because social media just allows us to like really just see the finished product. And I love to be able to go, all right, you're at step, I don't know, 77 in this amazing journey that you're on. What did step two look like? What does step three look like? What happened when you got cut from the team or what happened when you had that injury that almost made you and your career? How'd you recover from that way? Where did you go from there? That's what fascinates me because selfishly, I can then learn from that and hopefully apply some of those little nuggets to my own life. That's really what that's kind of the basis of this whole show is me selfishly trying to find a way to learn from these great and talented and successful people that are

sitting in front of me. So I don't think I would do a post show. Never say never. Right. That's kind of the phrase in wrestling. But I don't think logistically I can make this work. Like if I think back to if we think to just this past weekend, Saturday, Indianapolis, get out of the arena or the stadium, get out of the stadium after the post-show press conference, walk back to the hotel, get to the hotel, turn on the mic, start to record.

That probably wasn't until like 11 and change after a crazy long day. So I'm going to leave that to the people who are much better at it than I am. And yeah, it may be five or six days later, but we can chat about it on Ask CVV and it also gives it a little bit of time to breathe. Like we got a little bit of an opportunity to, it would have been an initial reaction

if we did this on Saturday night right after the Royal Rumble, J1, Charlotte 1, what's our initial reaction to that? And we didn't even talk about the Cody, Kevin Owens match. My goodness, there was some spots in that match that were just insane. How can Kevin Owens even walk after that match?

wild like i don't i don't think realistically that anybody thought that cody roads was going to lose the championship there and the odds on my bookie certainly back that up but what a match and great storytelling too with all of this although i guess the question now comes up is cody going to have to walk around with two belts now i mean technically three belts he could have the crown jewel championship and he could have the winged eagle championship and he could have the w d'eagle championship and he could have the WWE championship. Cody could just be wearing one around his waist and one on each shoulder. But that was a great match. But I think that it just would have been a long day. So I'm going to leave this up to the people who are the best at it. And we can chat about this five or six days later,

gives it some time to breathe, like I was saying, and also allows us to see, like, where's this story heading? It's not just an immediate reaction. And I think the other part about this is for the PLEs that I haven't been at. Like I'm a father or two now. And I'm on the road a decent amount. Not on the road as much as a WWE superstar or an AEW star or a TNA star, but I'm on the road a fair amount. And it's actually, it's pretty nice to be able to spend weekends with Rachel and the kids. So, and I also think that if I was recording podcasts for events that I don't go to, if I was

recording podcasts at 10 or 11 or 12 at night. I think that this might be a real short-lived marriage for me if I was doing that. So life's all about balance. And for me, I think I've, I think I found it, hopefully found it a little bit. But I don't think that, I don't think that's in the cards for me. So Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, I think that's what we'll be sticking to. Email here from Brandon Nichols and Brandon. says after watching all of the promos and video packages over the last few weeks, I've noticed

something. The blurring of former talent faces, including referees and the old WWF logos, seems to have gone by the wayside. Hearing Jim Ross's voice during the video package tonight and seeing Earl Hebner and his brother as well was a bit surprising. In the past, I just assumed that this was done to avoid legal issues or some kind of contract or copyright issues. Now I'm curious if it was just past pettiness and decisions made by Vince. Any thoughts? on this. Also, I noticed that Cole referred to Dolph Ziegler as Nick Nemeth. Not when Nick Nemeth when talking about Joe Hendry.

Do you think that this helps to pave the way for him or Matt Cardona to come back using their real names? Or is this just keeping with TNA KFab? K-Fab? Oh, my goodness. Jeez, it's late at night while I'm recording this. And by late, I mean, it's 740 on a Thursday night while I'm recording. That's all. That's pretty late. We're in bed these days by like,

8.30 or 9? I mean, what do you expect from us? We have a seven week old baby. Enjoy your content and stay awesome. Brandon Nichols. K-fabe one more time. I noticed that as well. And I think that that's just another sign of what the Triple H era is all about. I don't know if it was past pettiness from Vince, but I think it was more of like, well, that person works for another company. Why would we highlight any of their work here? It was. It was. weird though that they would show some of the most iconic moments with no commentary. And you know, you watched it live. You're like, J.R. had a great call of that. So I think that was just it. It was just like, let's not highlight that person that doesn't work here anymore.

And that's not just a JR thing. It's not just a wrestler thing. It's also a referee thing. I think that this is just the triple H era of going, yeah, that's the moment. And that's how it happens. So and everybody remembers it like that. So we're not going to edit around this or anything like that. The blurring of the WWF logo, that's a completely different conversation. That was a whole thing. You know the story with the World Wildlife Fund. I believe that they had to blur that.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe they had to blur the WWF logo for 10 years. And then after that, it was fair game. It was just considered like archival footage. So I think it was just 10 years that they blurred the logo. And that's why when you see stuff, it's not just recently, it's like over the last 10 or so years, that's why the logo hasn't been blurred. It was so weird when they blurted on some things. Like, I've worked in television so long that I know the steps that go into that.

I know how meticulous that, like to frame rate the videos and make sure it's covering the logo perfectly, I felt like sometimes it was done really well. Like they were just covering the F. and then other times I just kind of feel like whoever was doing that just got lazy. Like those times were instead of covering each individual turnbuckle, they would just blur the entire corner, like just a big rectangle top to bottom over the corner. I remember just looking at that going, that's just lazy. That's what that is.

And I get that you have to blur thousands of hours of archival footage. I understand that. But it just kind of felt lazy to me. The part about referring to Dolph Ziegler as Nick Nemith is, I think that is simply, that is his name in TNA. For Michael Cole to say that Joe Hendry beat Dolf Ziegler for the championship would have been incorrect. He did not. Dolf Ziegler did not hold the TNA World Championship.

Nick Nemeth did. In the same way that wrestlers change names, they're just keeping up with that. I think that's all it was. They were just acknowledging the name of the character, which actually happens to be the name of the actual person. too, but I believe that's what that was. Do I think this helps to pave the way for Matt Cardona to come back using his real name? Well, if you ask Matt Cardona, he will say Zach Ryder is dead. And I don't think that Matt Cardona would want to come back to WWE as Zach Ryder. What he's done since leaving WWE is, I mean, it's amazing. And I think that it, what he did is Zach Ryder while he

was in WWE for, what was it, 14 years, I think the stuff he's done since and the stuff he is currently doing in all of the different places that he's doing it in, it's so much better than what he does, Zach Ryder. I think that Matt would tell you this, that it would be a step back to go back as Zach Ryder to WWE. That's what I think. But this is just another clear indication of that era of WWE that existed before is gone. And this is another example, along with things like people being able to work independent shows or this partnership with TNA. I think it's just another indication of we are in a completely different time now. Harry Coleman 235 on Instagram says, who in your opinion is the wrestler who had great potential

but a bad run. So we're not just talking underrated here. We've done the underrated conversation many, many times. Someone who had a ton of potential and it just didn't play out. The one that stands out for me the most is Mr. Kennedy. The amount of potential that Mr. Kennedy had. He debuts in 2005. Very quickly, everybody realizes he's one of the best talkers in the company.

he's over in that way that like L.A. Knight is over. He's over in that way that like Jay Uso's over. He, the crowd is so into it. His music hits huge pop. The crowd loves to say Kennedy along with a Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy! You knew I was going to do it the second time.

A few years later, I think it's two years later, 2007 wins the money of the bank contract, Russellmania 23. Then things start to go awry. He suffers a tricep injury. He is told that he has torn his tricep. Turns out he hadn't torn his tricep. And he's been a guest on the show many times.

He's told the story, not just on my show, he's told it on many different shows. He's told that he tore his tricep. He delivers this news to the important people in WWE. They say, oh, geez, we can't wait for you. We got to do something with this money in the bank briefcase. They ended up, he dropped. it to Edge. Edge gets the money in the bank briefcase from there. Turns out that his

tricep wasn't actually torn. It was just pulled like he was back in action like three weeks later, but it was too late. And all the momentum that he had was now gone. And he just was never able to regain that momentum really from that point on. And it just seems to me that Mr. Kennedy he was like a really clear cut case of what if. There's so many possibilities there. What if he didn't get injured? He probably would have gone on to cash in and become world champion. And then where does his career go from there?

So I don't know if it's a bad run. I think it's just bad luck, like bad timing, bad advice from a doctor, like a bad diagnosis there, or maybe something else going on. I don't know. Maybe the doctor was told of like, hey, let's make this injury sound worse than it is.

I don't know. I'm just speculating wildly here. But Mr. Kennedy is my answer to that. I think another real quick one. Again, we're not talking underrated here. We've had the underrated conversation many times. Test is another one where I feel like test had insane potential and just it didn't shake out. Like you never, never had the chance to.

really have the ball and run with it. WWE never fully committed to test, but he had the look, the size, the ability at it all. And of course, I'm sure you remember this, but the Triple H Steph drive-th drive-th wedding in Las Vegas,

he was a part of that whole storyline. He was supposed to get married to Stephanie McMahon. It's like he was right there in the thick of like some of the biggest storylines at that point in time. So I think, Test is another one where, like, he just didn't fully have the chance. I think those are two solid answers, but if you got a better one, drop it in the comments.

Ian Eisenberg on Facebook says, could this be the first WrestleMania in a long time not to be main evented by Roman Raines? A very interesting question. WrestleMania 40, main evented on night one and night two by Roman Reins. WrestleMania 39 Main evented night 2 by Roman Reins WrestleMania 38

main evented night 2 and by the way I'm sure you remember 39 was against Cody the year before was Brock Lesder in Dallas WrestleMania 37 was Roman Rains

Edge and Daniel Bryan on night 2 and then we have to go all the way back to WrestleMania 36, the COVID WrestleMania. That was the last time that he didn't main event a WrestleMania. But then you go the year before,

well, the year before he didn't main event either. That was when WrestleMania was still one night. And that was Rhonda Rousey versus Charlotte Flare versus Becky Lynch. The year before, though, WrestleMania 34, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns. WrestleMania 33.

Undertaker, Roman Raines. WrestleMania 32, Triple H, Roman Reigns. WrestleMania 31. Brock Lesner versus Roman Rains versus Seth Rollins. There's a lot of main events for Roman Rains. I think the streak continues this year. I think they're going to find some sort of way. And again, it's only February right now.

We don't really have a clear picture at all of what any of these matches are going to be at WrestleMania. There's a lot of question marks that are surrounding any of the potential matchups at WrestleMania 41. But I think WrestleMania will be main evented on one of those nights by Roman Raines. But you got a lot of players in here. I named a few of them earlier, but Cody Rhodes is going to have a match. Maybe it's, I don't think it's Cody and Roman again. I still think, despite what the rumors say, I still think they're gunning for that rock Roman Reigns main event at WrestleMania.

And if it doesn't happen this year, I don't know how it happens next year, but I guess anything's possible here. It's a lot of potential matchups. I still see a world where CM Punk gets a main event match. I think that could happen. I think Cody Rhodes is going to be in a main event picture. it's Cody and CM Punk somehow, some way. Maybe, you know, their two paths somehow cross.

Randy Orton could be in this mix when he comes back. You got Seth Rollins and Roman Raines. They seem to be Tying something up there. I don't know if that's a main event match, but there's a potential there for it to be Roman Raines versus Seth Rollins. Or perhaps there could be some sort of a triple threat match of some sort. I don't know. A lot of question marks around this.

I think that as we sit here today, February 7th as this is airing, I feel like Roman Raines somehow finds his way into the main event at WrestleMania. I just feel, I feel like, especially when you look back at all the ones that we talked about there, when eight of the last 10 WrestleMania's have been made evented by Roman Rains, it almost feels strange for him to not be part of the main event match. But I also understand that on the other side of that coin, it's like, well, maybe it's time now for it to be somebody else's turn. And I don't disagree with that. So again, I'm just curious how this all shakes out here. Nick Jones on Facebook says, what is your favorite signature pose from a wrestler? It is the Randy Orton

arm thing. He doesn't even have a name for the pose. Does the Randy Orton look at me. I'm awesome pose. And if you go back, way back, there's photos of me in like

2003 doing that pose on a beach in Mexico on spring break. There's photos of me when I lived in Vancouver in 2006 doing that pose in front of the Rocky Mountains. That's,

the pose. There's poses, there's photos of me at parties in the 2000s and probably early 2010s doing that pose after far too many drinks. It's the Randy Orton pose. I just, there's so many things about the various different versions of Randy Orton I love, but the legend killer was great. In fact, I haven't mentioned this one in a while. but I was part of a band in college. Part of a band called The The Band with three of my best friends, Pat, Trev, and Greg, our lead singer,

and we had a song called Legend Killer. You might even be able to find it on Myspace. I believe it's still there. I think it's like Myspace.com slash the The Band Canada. Oh no. We're going to have an influx of people going to listen to The The Band. I thought we put out some pretty good music.

music. All of that is to say, I really was a big fan of Randy Orton. So the Randy Orton pose was the pose, is the pose. That's my answer. Chris Matara on Facebook says, which opening is more iconic? Stone Cold's glass shatter or Undertaker's Bell? I mean, this is like asking me which one of my kids I love more. I can't answer this question. They're both iconic in different ways. I think there's something iconic about hearing. Like this, when the glass shatters on a return, it's incredible.

Like, and when you think back to some of those really iconic raw moments, like the one where stone coal comes to save the day and like the roof blows off the place with the glass shatters. But I think there's also something about Undertaker's bell, the gong at WrestleMania. And then you know it's going to be followed by an epic entrance. So I think that they both are the correct answer in different settings. But there's no right answer to this at all. They're one A and one B. They are both number one. But man, a ton of great questions here on this. Ask CVV number 69. The Brock Lesner, Jared Allen, David Bakhtiari, and DX edition. That was the last question, by the way. If you have a question for next week's Ask CVV number 70,

leave a comment on Spotify. Shoot me the question on social media using that hashtag AskCTVV or shoot me an email. CVV at Chrisvanvelet.com. I left for you. I had this poll on both YouTube and Facebook and Instagram. I said grade, how would you grade the rumble? A, B, C, D, or F. What would you grade it as? Just leave it in the comments. If you're listening on Spotify, it's in an A?

Is it a B? Is it a C? Is it a D? Or is it a fail? It's an F. So just leave that, just the letter. And if you have any other thoughts after that, you can leave that as well.

But I feel like I should be patting myself on the back a little bit, just a little bit. Three out of four, not bad when you had a wild, wild pick in Jay Uso. And again, I think the word of the day, the word of this episode, at least, is patience. Just have the smallest amount of patience. Maybe you don't like it, and that's okay. Maybe it doesn't play out well between now. in WrestleMania. But let's at least give it some time for it to play out.

Do you remember in 2007 when the guy who starred in 10 things I hate about you was cast as the Joker in Christopher Nolan's new Batman film? Do you remember the backlash that came along with that? Heath Ledger's going to be the Joker? How could that guy be the Joker? I kind of feel like that's. That's where we're at right now. Jay Uso is going to have a championship match at WrestleMania.

Are you serious? Hey, give it some time. Not even one frame of that movie had come out yet. And people already had made up their mind that they weren't going to like Keith Ledger as the Joker. And they, as a result, weren't going to like the Dark Night. Well, you couldn't have been further from the truth. You couldn't have been more wrong on both of those.

He crushed it, wins the Oscar for it. And the Dark Night is, in my opinion, the greatest superhero movie of all time. And if they were doing up to 10 Best Picture Nominees back in 2008, that would have been a best picture nominee. It's one of Christopher Nolan's greatest films. And look, let's not open up that can of worms. Interstellar, Inception. Incredible.

So good. Memento, classic. So we're not going to dive into that crazy can of worms. But Dark Night is up there for sure. Just think about this J. Uso situation like that. Just give it a little bit of time. That's all I'm asking of you. And if it doesn't pan out, if whatever that storyline is or whatever that match is,

if it ends up sucking, I will be the first to admit that I was wrong. I am totally okay with that. All I'm saying is just give it a little bit of time. I don't think that's too much to ask. Let's wrap this up with a quote from Zig Ziglar. people often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily.
