Starting point is 00:00:06 Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns. WW Backlash, 2023, Puerto Rico. Was it a great pay-per-view? I'm hearing a lot of people saying that they didn't like it, but we're here to talk about it. I'm your host Brian with me, as always, is my brother Nez. What's up, man? Wait, what? Yeah, I had somebody in the Facebook.
Starting point is 00:00:36 group say that it was a horrible pay-per-view, but then he, like, added on to it by saying he already knew it was going to be by that card. I don't know who this person is, but... I'll just come out and say it. I thought this was one of the funest pay-per-views of the year. Yeah, that crowd was fucking amazing. I mean, I'll give it to the people of San Juan. I mean, the WWE universe was out there in full effect.
Starting point is 00:01:09 It was sold out crowd. First I was saying it was 17,000 and then Michael Coles went 18,000 sold out. So I don't know. There's another thousand came in. It was packed. Yeah. I mean, I've seen pictures even usually on, if you guys have been to live events, the camera side, they usually kind of block off a lot of those seats because there's got cameras and all the production crew going back and forth.
Starting point is 00:01:34 But it looked like there was pretty much to the brim with seats. and everything even by the camera side. But yeah, man, this crowd, they were hyped, man. They were so hyped. They were ready. And they came out on full force, ready to just have a good time. And this, I mean, I've said this before with the, when they have the crown jewel and the greatest world rumble and all that,
Starting point is 00:01:59 every time they have the stuff over in Saudi Arabia, those guys are super hyped because they only get it made once or twice a year, if that. so I mean they're super excited and these these people down there man they they were going off I loved every minute of this pay-per-view I mean there might have been some little dragon parts but I thought I thought I hit it out of the park with this one I was hyped I didn't watch it live I had to wait a few hours keeping with wrestling I was in Sparks Nevada and I went to headlock for headlock on hunger Yeah, I've seen some of the videos you posted. It looked fun. Yeah, they had a, it was like the, was it Nevada Food Drive? Is that who it is? Headlock on hunger is a campaign of a nonprofit event that aims to raise awareness and
Starting point is 00:02:56 combat the hunger issue that is affecting the children of Reno and Sparks area in Nevada. All proceeds food and food collecting during our pro wrestling event, food driver donated to the food bank. in Northern Nevada. So, I mean, that's pretty much what they were doing. It's a ritual food drive. One to five children, the Trucke Meadows are affected by hunger because they have, because of that, we have set a goal of raising $20,000 for the Food Bank in Northern Nevada.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Will you impact the life of a child? Let's make sure no child misses a single meal during summer break to donate and get more information. Please click here and do that. But it did take place at Reed High School. school in Sparks, Nevada. And it was awesome night of wrestling. I guess they do this every year. This is
Starting point is 00:03:45 the first time I've heard of it. A buddy of mine, his son goes to that school. So he goes, they were going. He goes, do you want to go? I'm like, yeah, sure, man's wrestling. And it was cool. It was APW. I'm not really sure
Starting point is 00:04:01 what APW stands for, but it's one of the local indie little promotions. Oh, pro wrestling. Yeah, that's okay. I said to look it up to. All pro wrestling.
Starting point is 00:04:19 But yeah, man, it was a fun event. It was awesome. I had a good time. El Trooper Cabaret, the Mexican werewolf. He was there. I hadn't seen him wrestle in a long time. So it was really cool to see him. And I talked to him and I asked him.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I said, hey, man, a buddy in mine who do the wrestling returns it's a wrestling podcast he goes hell yeah man I'll be on it before he can even ask him if he wanted to come on and talk wrestling he was yeah man do I love to talk so everyone cross your fingers I'm gonna reach out to him and see if we can get him on the show
Starting point is 00:04:52 and just talk about his wrestling career and everything he's also a part of hood slam when they have all that in the Bay Area in Oakland I've seen video I've never been to one of the events where he was at but I saw pictures and he dresses up as Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat
Starting point is 00:05:09 and my friends everybody, they say they just it's just a party and goes off, man. I've been to one, but it was glabbed, the something,
Starting point is 00:05:21 something ladies are wrestling. I can't remember what it was called. But it was a cool event. There was a lot of people there. The wrestlers, I didn't know any of them except for, oh, no, Reno Scum.
Starting point is 00:05:35 uh, Luster the Legend and Adam, so I can't remember his last name. Uh, their local favorites in the Reno, Neva, Reno Sparks area and they're badass. I remember seeing them at the RWF, uh,
Starting point is 00:05:49 Reno Wrestle Factory events. And man, they, they brought the house down. There was like a six-man tag and, no, it was like an eight-man tag. And they,
Starting point is 00:05:58 no, wait, six-man. No, there was a six-man tag. And then there was a, I think it was a fatal four-way or something. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:07 There was a, it was a big, huge mess and everything was, everybody was going nuts and all that. But it was a good time. I can't remember the, I don't know if it was the Northern Nevada champion, some asshole dude. But he was hell of funny, man. He was good on the mic. I cannot remember his name. But he was talking hell of shit. It was a family event, but there was some little risque moves in the ring with, uh,
Starting point is 00:06:36 with shoving people's butts, our faces and people's butts, and then guy was humping this dude's face. And the champ guy, since he's doing the heel roll, he was talking to hell and shit on the mic. He let a couple choice words slip, but he kind of caught himself.
Starting point is 00:06:57 But overall, it was a fun night of wrestling. I was good to see some Luchador as in action. Shout out to L. flaco local I think that was his name and I cannot remember the other guy's name but they were pretty cool man it was a good event I have more videos I'm gonna try to throw them all together and put them on TikTok but it was an awesome event it was good to go out there to support the cause for um what's it the Nevada the Food Bank of
Starting point is 00:07:27 Northern Nevada and make sure that all these kids got something to eat the summer during the break because there is a lot of issues out there I know parents I mean, parents have to work, and sometimes they just, they got to leave their kids at home or somewhere. So it's just make sure these kids have meals throughout the day when their parents aren't home. But again, it was a good event. I'll definitely, so I'll definitely go every year if this is a yearly event. So, because it was really fun. I got there super early.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I had the VIP treatment. The only VIP thing is you get in earlier. And I got to sit front row. So I sat on the right. they came in on the to the left of me i was a front row in the middle and every time they fell out the ring all the action was like right in front of me so uh there was a couple guys where they got hurt man there was because there was no padding or anything around uh the floor of the ring it was just hard basketball uh floor so they were just a couple guys slammed their heads
Starting point is 00:08:30 but over that man other than that they were they were okay there was one guy he was during the first match, he looked like he hit his head pretty hard. And he was kind of, they had to basically, maybe it was just pretending. I don't know, but he afterwards, he was holding his neck. And I'd asked him, you all right? He goes, kind of landed funny. So I was like, oh, man. So he just kind of just sat down.
Starting point is 00:08:56 But other than that, it was an awesome night of wrestling. I'm glad that I went. And like I said, I'm definitely going to go again next year. so as soon as that happens everyone I'll let you know uh when it does happen but yeah w-d-wee moza I'm sorry that's that's cool yeah I guess there's some more wrestling events going on because when the announcer they were announcing all these other events that are going to happen and I want to go so but we'll see summer's coming and they usually that's when all the wrestling goes off and the Reno Sparks area
Starting point is 00:09:33 so I'll definitely be there and I'll come on here and tell you guys how it went but backlash I again I thought this was an awesome pay-per-view I thought every every match was awesome but to kick off the match
Starting point is 00:09:48 the Raw women's championship Bianca Bel Air is the champ taking on Eoskeye you thought this was Puerto Rico's own Eoskei yeah I mean that was that was awesome because I was I mean I love the EST she's badass but I was all for EO
Starting point is 00:10:09 Sky and they were too man they were hooting and hollering and booing Bianca Belair I was like damn what what's going on here that's when I knew this crowd was going to be a hila height so I did like all that and these two ladies CBS Sports gave it an A plus I'm with that because I thought Me too. They brought the house down. I mean, Eoskeye is awesome. We've seen her shine many times, but it was good to see her shine without the rest of damage plan.
Starting point is 00:10:44 But they came in at the end. And we'll get to that in a minute. Yeah. Dude, when Bianca Bel Air, when she picked up Eoskeye and then like both hands, holding her with both hands, and then she brought one hand down. and was holding her up for a good maybe five seconds, one arm. And Bianca Bella was strong. But when she went to slam Eio, it was like her arm kind of gave.
Starting point is 00:11:13 And Eio just came right down on her face. I was like, ooh, but she, now she kept it going. Yeah, I thought we had another Charlotte Flair, WrestleMania moment there for a second. I was hoping for, for EO to pull it out because it was going back and forth. They were both beating the hell out of each other, and they were pinning each other left and right. So I thought that was amazing. I thought Bianco was going to go out because she kept, Eio kept going after her, what was her right arm?
Starting point is 00:11:49 And just slamming it on the ropes. And at one point she climbed up to the top rope. then jumped and stepped on it hell hard. I know it's her left arm. I'm watching it, everyone. But I thought this was a really good match. I don't know how tall I-L. Sky is, but man, this young woman, man, she was flying all over the place.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I still love to see her and Oscar go at it, like super hard. I mean, they have gone at it before, but I want them to go hell hard. Yeah, they, the last time they kind of. kind of was building it out, you know, the whole former tag partners in Japan. And then they had the little moment where they was arguing in Japanese and then just nothing. Yeah, I don't know who's writing the storylines in this, but. Yeah, especially having your girl show up near the end here. But before that, uh, when, uh, Eio did the, uh, the moon saw.
Starting point is 00:12:56 when uh from the top out to the outside of the ring man that was cool that was good bianca was there to catch her and everything but yeah when uh yo like like i said they were going back and forth but then uh the bays only bailey and uh dakota kai came running out the fuck things up but she looked good oh yes i like i like whatever shout out to whoever made her pants because I know a little revealing there. I don't even know what
Starting point is 00:13:32 else she was wearing when I she came around and I saw those pants. I was like whoa I was like damn another another hard move is when Bianca picked up
Starting point is 00:13:49 you know and she jumped off the second rope and just power bomb I mean, her head bounced off the ring. I mean, you try to at least lift your head before you hit the mad, but no, that force came down hard. And you just seen her head just bounced like a ball. And I know, man, these women, men and women, they torture their bodies to entertain us.
Starting point is 00:14:20 But, I mean, I don't want no one to shake your brain loose. or anything, but man, oh, she was, she was taking hard bumps. Both of them were. So, but when Dakota and Bailey came running out, I just saw Bailey's pants and I was like,
Starting point is 00:14:41 what the hell's going on? All I remember Bailey was her pants. And then when she got in the ring and Bianca tried to throw her out and she got like caught up in the bottom rope. Yeah. I was like, what is happening right now? Because Eo took a hard forearm to the face because she was, well, when those two came out with a distraction,
Starting point is 00:15:05 Eo grabbed the back of Bianca's her big long braid. And speaking of her braid, man, her braid was taking a beating because it's usually nice and braided and stays pretty good every time I've seen her wrestle. Yeah. This one, I don't know what was going on. It was falling apart. I wanted to bring because my wife does hair. I wanted to bring her. I didn't get a chance to show her,
Starting point is 00:15:27 but I had a question. Was her hair supposed to look? Because it looked like it was coming undone before the match even started. And I was like, is that what it's supposed to look like? Or? I don't know. I couldn't tell you either. But it was unraveling slowly because when E.O.
Starting point is 00:15:45 grabbed it and then pulled her back. And she, Bianca Bella, she was hanging on to the top rope. But then when she turned around, she came full, force with that forearm and it didn't even look like she tried to hold it or at least pull it. No, it was like full force. She slammed her. Then she picked up, he picked up Eo. She didn't give her a backbreaker, but then she kind of spun her around.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Dakota was on the apron and then she slammed Dakota in the face and she fell off. But Eio got out of it. She kind of just reversed it and then slam. Bianca. That's all I was, I was hoping she was going to win. I wanted her to win so bad because this match was so awesome. And it would have been awesome to see,
Starting point is 00:16:36 EO as a champ, but no such luck. Yeah, everyone was saying Bailey and Dakota ruined it. Of course they did. Yeah, I see what they're doing. They're planting the seeds for the damage control breakup.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Yeah, but. Oh, Bailey. God damn. I don't think she's wearing underwear. Not with those pants. Uh-uh. I've said this before, everyone. Bailey can't go back to I'm a hugger.
Starting point is 00:17:07 She needs to just stay a heel from here on out. I love this heel run. Bailey climbed in the ring and then she distracted the ref and he'll threw Bianca down against the bottom rope and then Dakota guy jumped up and kicked her in the face and then Bianca was laying there all roughed up. Then Bailey grabbed Bianca's hair and was trying to hold it and the ref saw it so then she got the boot. And then Eio tried to do a moonsawl off the top rope, but then Bianca rolled out of the way
Starting point is 00:17:46 and she just came flat down on her face and that was it. then Bianca took that opportunity to capitalize and one, two, three. But overall, this match was amazing. It was a good way to kick off backlash. And again, shout out to the crowd because on how hyped everyone was. But I was like, man, is it just going to get better or is this the best we got? And then the rest of the pay-per-view is going to be okay. no I mean this was just started off as a good a good match because it was it was definitely it wasn't short it went on for quite a while
Starting point is 00:18:29 but they kept it moving there was hardly any time where it was like all right you're just gonna hug each other for a minute now it was like every time they got a hold of each other something bad happened to one of them they were just both beating the hell out of each other but Dakota she's all cute a little skinny for my taste but I still love her but Bailey God damn oh man that's San Jose the South Bay for you guys but he is still he is
Starting point is 00:19:00 tea but I was I was I was I was I was excuse me everyone I was hyped with with this pay for you I love I mean I don't speak Spanish I can pick up words here and there but the thing that I love the most usually when they get someone down and they're pin and everyone's just one, two, three, it was, Uno dose. I was like, oh.
Starting point is 00:19:24 I thought that was awesome. And some people, one of my buddies was like, man, every time a bad bunny was around and they had the little in, when he was talking to Ray Mysterio, it was on Spash. What the hell were they saying? I'm like, I don't know. I mean, just enjoy the show. Yeah, but I love that because like even with the Damien Priest, because, you know, you know, he's, he's from the same place as, um, same, uh, town as a bad bunny. But you never really get to see him bring that side of him out and just the buildup for
Starting point is 00:19:54 him, you know, them arguing in Spanish and it's nice to see. Yeah, I mean, I was, I was happy, man, with, with, with everything that was going on in this, but this next match I wasn't really excited for. Oh, totally unnecessary. Oh, yeah. I mean, but you got to, you got to string them along. I mean, I thought he did better when he took on, uh,
Starting point is 00:20:21 Brock Lesnar on that last one. What was that? I was WrestleMania. Uh, the Monday night Messiah, Seth Effren Rohn's taking on the Nigerian beast, omas. I was like,
Starting point is 00:20:37 okay, this is kind of a mismatch, but all right. But, because like, like I always say, say big guys, handful of moves,
Starting point is 00:20:47 Seth Rons, we all know how awesome he is and everything that he does. And a shout out to Jessica. So fine. She was in there trying to keep these two apart.
Starting point is 00:20:57 But it kind of just started off like how Brock Lesnar does. He gets a hold of him and just starts throwing them all over the place. I mean, that's what Omas did. He started off with a big boot
Starting point is 00:21:11 to the side, almost to the side of his head. I liked the whole beginning, though, when Seth came out and everybody was singing his song. Yeah. And then he continued in the ring when the song came off. The crowd just kept going. That was awesome too. Almost was like, no, fuck this.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I'll stop this shit right now. Because, I mean, the crowd, they were singing everybody's song. That's, I mean, but when Bad Bunny came out, they were really going for it. But, I mean, I think that's what me. as someone watching it from home that was getting me hyped yeah and it was late at night when I was watching this I went to like three in the morning
Starting point is 00:21:52 by the time it was over but oh man but it was it was this other than the crowd hyping everyone up it didn't matter who came out everybody was hyped but with this match I mean yes Seth Rons he at first I didn't I didn't know
Starting point is 00:22:08 which way it was going to go seriously everyone I mean I knew Seth was going to do what he was going to do, but I didn't realize he was going to take this much of a beating in the beginning. Because Omar's threw him all over the place, picked him up, slammed him, thrown in and out of the ring. I loved how he was always talking shit to the crowd. And Seth was just doing what he does.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I mean, but it was like a lot of the high flying and everything, but a lot of it wasn't working because Omar's was just capitalizing any chance of guy. He would catch him in the air and see. slam them. So I thought it was, I thought it was good, man. I was really hyped watching this one. But what did you think of this one?
Starting point is 00:22:54 Yeah, I wasn't a too big on it coming in, but then when it just got gone, like I said, with Seth getting the crowd into it, and then almost just kind of shutting the crowd up and kind of playing into it, you know, beating the shit out of Seth, and then
Starting point is 00:23:09 looking at the crowd, basically like, sing the song now, you know? And just I loved everything he was doing even the moment where Seth went for the stomp the curve stomp and it just he was just too big to stomp he didn't even move he just he kind of maybe made it let a little slight movement but he did not there was no stopping I did want to see what it looked like because you remember that moment in the match when Seth was going to try to pedigree, Omas.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Yeah. I wanted to see what that looked like, but it didn't happen. A little too big for it. But yeah, I thought this match was fun for what it was. You know, almost, he's very limited in his moves, and you knew Seth was going to have to carry this match. But I thought they both came in there and did what they needed to do, and they put on a good show.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Yeah, man, I'm sure they rehearsed what they were going to do because, yeah, I mean, Seth, did he carry the match? He did that sometimes, but, I mean, they both almost did what he could do to keep it moving, to keep the crowd hyped, and everybody was boring him anyway, but he didn't care. Of course he's the heel.
Starting point is 00:24:27 But, I mean, Seth took most of the beating out of this match, everything he did. But I loved when Omar's picked him up when he was on the outside of the ring, and then just threw him into the rig. And this fool's big. I mean, Great Khali is done, right?
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah, I think he had to retire because of his injuries and stuff. Because I would like to have seen him go up with Omas. But Great Khali, he was cool to see him when he'd come in and slap you up and everything. But it was, he was limited as well. All that, especially he didn't look like he can move that good. I don't know if it was his knees or what, but but overall, man, I thought this match was pretty decent.
Starting point is 00:25:16 It was good. Omas did what he had to do. Because he was pretty much running the match the whole time. And then Seth, he started to come back because he was chopping away at the giant.
Starting point is 00:25:31 And then, I mean, Seth looked like he was hell tired by the time this was all over with. But it was good, man. I loved what was going on. He finally did curb stompsom. them and everything so I thought that was super curbs stone yeah he did
Starting point is 00:25:44 but yeah I mean Omas was selling these moves because when Seth had to climb up to the second rope and then like flipped and then rolled um Omas over
Starting point is 00:25:59 and Omas did a good job man he sold it well yeah I think he's getting better yeah he is he's getting really good MVP he's just there he's just he's obviously there because omas's mic skills are not that great so yeah that's what mvp's for you need him there i'm watching this everyone yeah he tried to curb stop him but no it wasn't happening omas was on his hands and knees and he tried to but he didn't even move when he jumped up and picked
Starting point is 00:26:33 up uh set ralms and then just chokes slammed him i think if it was like a real Real, real fight? Of course, Oh, Moss would win. But overall, I mean, this match was cool.
Starting point is 00:26:46 I loved everything that was going on. It was entertaining and funny. And, of course, Seth pulled it out at the end with the pin.
Starting point is 00:26:56 And again, how the stick with the house, man. They were full force. But Jessica, just doing what she does. I need to do anything to stand there and look good.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Sorry. But, Overall, man, I did enjoy this match. I wasn't expecting much, but yeah, that big curb stump when he jumped off the top of top rope and came down on Omas, and that's what ended it, because that's when he curbstopped him L-O-R. He was basically standing up, and he just kind of had his head down a little bit,
Starting point is 00:27:29 and said it came down and slammed him L-A-R, and that was it. But it was good. It was a good match, man. CBS gave it a B-plus. I'm with that, man. It was good. It was entertaining. And like I said, Seth Rohns looked like he was tired.
Starting point is 00:27:46 I feel it for them, man. I mean, all the stuff that they do, and then they got to walk that big ramp. I mean, I don't, I mean, I love the stages when they have those. But I don't like the WrestleMania stage because it's too big, and it's like 10 miles to walk from the stage of the rig. I don't like these, like how they do when they have the roll rumbles and the, baseball stadiums when they had this little curved that that's what they had here so i was like yeah all right but bring back to the little mini russomaniar ring cart things that they used to have back in the day they were taking too long at russlemaidia three all right the next match
Starting point is 00:28:32 your boy no you we everybody that listens to the show knows this is your boy with your other boy commentary. Ah, man. The United States champion ship match dumb ass Austin Theory
Starting point is 00:28:47 taking on the almighty Bobby Lashley and Bronson Reed. I was like, okay, can you guys
Starting point is 00:28:54 just beat the hell out of this fool and one of you guys take the belt? But that didn't happen. So.
Starting point is 00:29:01 But, I mean, I thought this match was pretty good. I mean, they did go after him.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Austin theory does what he does. He plays it to the crowd and everyone was booing them in the dumb A-town down
Starting point is 00:29:12 or whatever the hell that shit is. No offense to anybody that listens from Atlanta. Yeah, I mean, no, no offense to you. I mean, it's this dumb motherfucker. I hate him. But he's doing his job. I mean, he wants you to hate him. And then he, uh,
Starting point is 00:29:28 if you've been listening to this show and every time we talk about him, I hate this little fucker. And, uh, I can't imagine taking it. What are they called a tsunami from Bronson Reed? Because he was given out. there was one it was like off camera I think it was a I think uh theory was pinning Bobby and Bobby kicked out and then out of nowhere Bronson came with the tsunami off the top rope I was like that's
Starting point is 00:29:53 that's a lot of man right there yeah because they were um yeah he weighs this much in Bronte he was a human Bronson really I don't know how tall he is I mean I'm not very tall over I'm like five nine And he just, I'm not as big as him maybe, but I mean, I'm sure that's muscle and a little extra body fat. But man, that little guy, I'd be scared of him. Ronson Reed is six feet tall. Oh, excuse me. How tall is Bobby lastly?
Starting point is 00:30:32 Is he six feet two? He has to be because they both look the same size. He might be a little bit shorter. Black don't crack Because he looks exactly the same From back in the easy W days I thought Bronzen Reed broke
Starting point is 00:30:51 Bobby Lashley's back I mean Because he came flying out of the ring Top speed and just landed Bobby was laying flat on his stomach And he just roomsed And I was like Oh man
Starting point is 00:31:06 I know you got to expect everything But not not I'd rather be laying on my back and have you land on top of me that way, but not on my back, because that's watching all this, and every time they fall, man, my back hurts.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Watching the shit. But, it was a cool match. I liked what was going on. Again, I just wanted them to beat the hell out of Austin theory, but I knew he was going to win. I'm, of course. I mean, I think he's going to ride this
Starting point is 00:31:38 out for a while. I don't know who's going to take it from him, but whoever takes it from him when his time is up, I want them to beat the hell out of this fool. Yeah, I don't, thinking about it, I don't know who's going to take it from him. I mean, maybe, uh, because we just had the draft, I know they just brought a Schenstke over and they've been kind of giving him a little bit more time on TV. So maybe he texts the title from him. I was happy when he came to
Starting point is 00:32:10 WWE. They were pushing him and then they just shoved him aside. And they were just giving them these dumb little tag team partners and everything. I mean, Shinske is a main eventer. You guys seen all his Japanese stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Oh man, amazing, amazing matches. Then WWE got a hold of them and just to me, in my opinion, everyone is just wasting him. Well, I think they don't, care about Shinske because they don't usually let their talent go do other shows while they're still under contract and when what's his name the great mooda was doing his retirement tour yeah they let they let Shinskay go wrestle over in Japan for one of his retirement matches that's better than what we're getting yeah
Starting point is 00:33:01 so brought to read man he's a big dude man but he that's a lot of force coming down on those ankles when he's jumping off the ropes and everything because he just came off the second rope and jumped on Bobby Lashley and he was on the outside of the ring and at least the ring has got some give
Starting point is 00:33:25 you know those hard rubber mats man then no give and my knees and my ankles took a beating from skateboarding when my younger year but I can't imagine jumping as high as these guys do
Starting point is 00:33:42 especially Otis when he does his little moves when he jumps off his second row but yeah he fucking Corey's dumb ass if if
Starting point is 00:33:58 core will look okay let's just say Corey does get back in action I know he was cleared we've mentioned it before I want him to to fucking maybe take the belt from I'd be all right with that. I hate both of them,
Starting point is 00:34:13 but I'd rather have somebody take the belt from this dumb fuck, man. He just bugs me because he was Vince's boy. Vince was just dragging him along and just pushing him. But, I mean, he's in every pay-per-view, and you hear my dislike for him every episode, so he's doing his job. just way like when Corey comes out of retirement he's going to team with Austin theory and they're going to be the new tag team champs hell more
Starting point is 00:34:48 man brought to read man he keeps almost killing Bobby Lashie came flying off the ropes again and landed on his face yeah I'm just like and it's always like out of nowhere and that that last moment was scary because that like I said that's a that's a huge man and when he did the moon salt. I was top rope. I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:35:11 my, I was, I was kind of hoping. I was like, I hope everybody gets out the way of that one. Yeah, man, because,
Starting point is 00:35:19 yeah, he kept flying everywhere he got a chance. He came flying out. I had no way. Oh, man. He's dumbass. The Austin's about to try to pick up, uh,
Starting point is 00:35:30 Bronson Reed and give him a tail down. He got him up for a minute. He did, man. I mean, I'll give it to him. I was waiting for his knees to buckle. But he reversed it on him and gave him that power slam.
Starting point is 00:35:45 I love when they do that. I think to me, my favorite guy that does that quick-ass power slam is, what's his name, Randy Orton. Has he hurt? Yeah, he got injured and had to have surgery. I think he should be time for him to come back. I hope so. Because it's been over a year. He just needs a break.
Starting point is 00:36:09 And they were running him a while too. But all right, here it is. Bronson Reed's climbing up to the top row. Flip, Moonsault, nobody home. Then Bobby speared him hell hard.
Starting point is 00:36:24 And dumbass Austin theory jumps in and throws out Bobby Lashley. And then he pins Bronson Reed. And now that was it for the thing. Bobby Lassie could be jumping. Bobby Lasson. jumped in the ring and he jumped out and ran away Bobby was like what the
Starting point is 00:36:44 fuck did this just happen again see because Bobby there's no way Austin theory could beat him I think if it was just them two going at it nah but
Starting point is 00:36:57 let throw Bruns and Reed in there for the distraction but isn't that the way Austin got the title was Brock came in there and through Austin on the top of I know Bobby's like what the fuck man I don't like
Starting point is 00:37:15 this US championship though it doesn't it doesn't look right I think they all all the titles need to be revamped I do like this new title they have that they're having this tournament for I don't know I think
Starting point is 00:37:30 Edge needs to get it if you guys seen the post that I put on the wrestling returns Facebook group thing man edge because when edge i was reading the article and i remember when edge had to retire he was the heavyweight champion and he had to give the belt up so what about a town down hell no man edge a whoop his ass so i'm hoping for edge i hope he gets it back before he finally just hangs it up but all right this is a match i was looking forward to i knew which way was going to go because no one
Starting point is 00:38:09 ain't beating Mommy. Not for a while. Not now. No, this is the era of mommy. I did feel bad for Queens Zelina. I mean, her crowd family was there. Everybody
Starting point is 00:38:25 was hooting for hollering for her. She came out and represented. I loved her outfit with the flag and everything. I thought that was really cool. But. Right after her mom gave her the flip flop. to throw it, Mommy. You know, just every...
Starting point is 00:38:41 I'm going to say this. If this was any other time, I would be all four of them putting the title on, on Zelina. But it just so happened. They just had this match after Ria gets the title and starts her reign. It's just bad timing. I think Mommy's going to have this belt for a while. I don't think anyone's going to take it.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Unless Charlotte comes back. God, she should have been the 50th time she's champion? Yeah. But I just wanted a good match because I knew she wasn't going to drop the belt. And I know it.
Starting point is 00:39:22 And it would have been awesome if Zelina did. But nah, it's way too early. I mean, Maria just won it a month or so ago at WrestleMania. No, she's not.
Starting point is 00:39:37 like maybe if Ria had the belt for like a year and then they had this match maybe next year I could see Zalina win in and then just that would be amazing to see that that whole arena just explode yeah I mean what's there what two
Starting point is 00:39:58 no there's the raw and the Smackdown and the tag team once there's no heavy weight for women. I don't know. Who creates something. Zalina had a good idea.
Starting point is 00:40:12 She said the, what is it, the queen of the ring title or whatever? Crown or whatever. They should make that like a mid-tier women's title. Yeah, that'll work. But yeah, Zalina came out and everyone just flew off the hinges. Her family was there, so that was really cool. I felt soy for her.
Starting point is 00:40:38 at the end when she was she lost but uh at least ria just rolled out of the ring and then uh let her shine and everybody was hooting hollering and cheering for her and she had the tears cut i didn't like that i think ria should have bucking destroyed her no way that that would have been too disrespectful i would have the dominic should have came out like i don't know like got in her face and you know, Zalina would have to take out Dominic, and then that's when she gets destroyed by Ria, because, you know, you can't do that to Mommy's man. I mean, they're selling it.
Starting point is 00:41:19 All the videos and the pictures I see when they're out in public and everything. They're holding hands and all this and... Yeah, but they never kissed or anything. No, you got to stay... Yeah. those buddy matthews beat that ass yeah mommy would destroy him anyway um i don't my only issue with this with uh ria was i did not like her white outfit just yeah black all the time
Starting point is 00:41:55 and uh we'll get we'll get to them later but uh damien came in with the white too and i just i don't know it just doesn't go with the whole black and purple of the judgment day Yeah. I didn't, I didn't, yeah, I don't, because, what was it? It was during the pandemic when they had the, one of those matches and when Rio was taking on Charlotte for the billion time. Oh, it was WrestleMania. Was that what was? Yeah, okay. When she was all in white, I didn't like that either. But, I mean, this match, I was, it went pretty fast. It didn't seem like it was going to go hard. I mean, Ria, she, of course,
Starting point is 00:42:39 she would just whoop that ass super fast. Zalina, I don't know how tall she is, but she is short, but yeah, I loved it when she climbed out out of the ring, got the flip-flopper. I don't know how they say it in Spanish.
Starting point is 00:42:54 We all know what it means. Yeah. And, yeah, man, even my moms or my mom's, my friend's moms, yeah, they used to throw that at us. So I knew. I felt those things flying across the room when we were fucking up.
Starting point is 00:43:11 It didn't matter who it was. It was either his mom, his aunt. His grandma was always nice. And his sister would throw shit at us. And I'm getting hitting the head with those a few times. But, yeah, Ria just threw her all over the ring. It was like not even a contest. But we all expected this.
Starting point is 00:43:34 I mean, we knew damn well. I love Aurea and she does the suck it and all that. And Jessica back in the ring looking all good. But yeah, they did what they did in this. And it was basically Zalina just getting their ass beat the whole time. And I knew when it was going to come. It was going to be bad when that rip time was going to come for Zalina. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:59 And then the one move, I think Zalina tried to give Ria, her, Karana. and she counted it into a power bomb. Yeah, because Ria's, she's got to be almost six feet, right? Because she seems tall. Let me double check because I don't know. Wikipedia would be, because we talked about how Bronson looked taller
Starting point is 00:44:25 than Bobby, according to Wikipedia, Bobby is 6.3. Yeah. Someone out there racing. Yeah, it's summertime in Anchorage. the Biker Boys are out right now We got all the Speed racers on the highway
Starting point is 00:44:46 I see them coming I just pull over and let them Whiz by I feel like dealing with Oh, did you notice they had a drone They kept flying around Yeah Because that was one of the shots
Starting point is 00:44:59 I was like wait how'd they do that And I went duh It was a Jerome He is fine She's five fine She's as tall as me Yeah How tall are you
Starting point is 00:45:08 You. I'm six feet. Okay. All right. I thought mommy was taller than me. She's the, oh. So that means Zalina must be like four or something.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I mean, tall as Lance. Selina is 5.1. Probably weighs what? 105? Maybe. This is 100 pounds even. Oh,
Starting point is 00:45:36 all right. Now it's close. Oh, damn. She's five nine is the same height as me. Oh, all right. We'll see. I know she's a lot younger than me.
Starting point is 00:45:47 She's like 20 years younger than me, but I just have to overlook that. I do five years, what, I'm 51. So it's got to be 46 and up. But if mommy wants, I'll be all right. I'd let that one go. Oh, excuse me. but yeah man really is just beating that ass I mean she did what she had to do to um when zalina was was getting her moves in and everything and how everyone was hyping her up she did do the six one
Starting point is 00:46:23 nine so I thought that was awesome didn't hit her very hard but uh you got to sell it she'd tell she just learned that yeah she did that she did the the eddie guerrero the little shimmy yeah What else? Did she come out to the LWO theme music? Yeah, in the beginning. And then she switched over to hers. I thought that was a wig she was wearing. I was waiting for it to fall off.
Starting point is 00:46:54 But then I said, no, it was her hair? Yeah, they, they, my wife told me they, they get them on there. You can, like, actually grab them by the hair and throw them by that. So good they're on there. Yeah. They have to be because the way all these women that wrestle to have long hair, I mean, I think Bianca Bella is the only one that like pulls it back. Everyone else just lets it, lets it fly. Oh, man, Ria just kicked the Lena in the back of the head hell hard.
Starting point is 00:47:29 And it looked like she connected because then she badzes when she picks her up, rib-tied. I knew that was it. One, two, three. she slammed her hell hard what would have just added to this match they needed dominic ringside because have you have you seen him trying to speak on the mic lately
Starting point is 00:47:50 is he getting better no I mean it's like you remember when uh Roman beat Undertaker at WrestleMania and then he tried to come out on raw and every time he tried to talk on the mic they just booed and he couldn't even get a word out that's how they're doing Dominic now
Starting point is 00:48:07 good he's well he's getting his little run he's getting his push but we'll see how it goes but this ribtide at the end man she slammed her hell hard on the
Starting point is 00:48:21 she got up interesting cover right there but she was there yeah it was but again I'll give it to mommy she did what she had to do and she got the hell out of the ring and took off and Zalina had to her little moment with the crowd.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Yeah, because I think they also said this was dedicated to her father who died in 9-11. Yeah, I was, it wasn't on any of the planes, was he? I don't know. I can't remember if they said if he was in the building or if he was maybe like trying to help people get out the building or something. Oh, man. So they were putting on the extras for motion and stuff like that. I can't believe that's 20 years ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Still seems like yesterday. But, I mean, it was good. I loved at the end of the match when she was holding the tears back and everybody was standing ovation from everybody. Everybody was hooting and holler. I mean, I'm glad they did that. I'm glad it was just wasn't the match was over boom roll out of the ring and that's it They let her her gave her a little spotlight and everyone the chair and everything so I thought that was really cool
Starting point is 00:49:47 I was hoping that they didn't just all right it's over with let's get on the next match and get out of the ring now they They let her stay there for a little bit so I thought that was pretty cool But mommy whooped that ass and of course we knew that's where it was going they were showing not to do of wrestling but they were showing previews for that new or is it a series or is it a movie
Starting point is 00:50:11 Fulbar I think series but Arnold yeah yeah all right action comedy series is it a one and done
Starting point is 00:50:25 or you never know these days if it's a hit probably not I don't know I don't care man I'll take any any way on it it looks like he's in it hopefully he's in it this whole time because I know that one what was that one movie he did he was right on the cover like getting somebody
Starting point is 00:50:51 oh getting Gunther yeah and he was only in over like two minutes I think this is like they've been hearing about this for a while so I think this is like his thing. Okay, good. I want that. That's what I want. I want him. Yeah, he can do comedy. He's funny. I just watched twins. I ain't seen that in a long time.
Starting point is 00:51:14 But he was funny in that. And I'm just, is he going to be the action star we grew up with? Probably not. But he, he can still pull the trigger and rough people up if he has to. So, but. All right. Yeah. As soon as that comes out of.
Starting point is 00:51:32 We'll talk about it on one of the other shows. But all right. On to the next one. Oh, wait. Would they grade that last match to give it a B? All right, cool. I'm with that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:43 The next one, Bad Bunny. I don't know how they say it. They were yelling in Spanish, and I don't know Spanish, everyone. So for those Spanish speakers, you guys know what I'm talking about. Taking on Damien Priest and a San Juan Street Fight.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Was it a street fight? not at first no yeah i mean it took a minute to to get going i mean i mean everybody was they made they made you think it was gonna be because bad bunny came out the crowd was the hype for him singing his song yeah and then he was like wait a minute i got to go back and then he had the the shopping car with all the weapons but strangely didn't get to him right away they kind of just left them there a minute Damien's of course dressed in
Starting point is 00:52:36 lighter colors which I don't like and I still don't like the shit in his hair who gave bad bunny the the candor stick because earlier um Sabio Vega
Starting point is 00:52:50 yeah all right okay I knew I know it was a legend because yeah he comes out and then he goes back and then he pulls the the black sheet off the shopping cart with the chairs and other kendo sticks and garbage cans and garbage cans lids and all that but yeah man like you said when he came out everybody was singing
Starting point is 00:53:12 his music yeah you could even see like the older couples that were there together like like this was like the Puerto Rican national anthem or something I don't know bad bunny's music um I only on him from once he jumped into the wrestling scene and bullet train. He was badass in that. I wish he was in it more. But he's supposed to be you know how Sony be doing them like Spider-Man character movies with no Spider-Man?
Starting point is 00:53:49 Yeah. He's supposed to be like you know, look it out. He's doing something like that. I don't know. I mean, I don't I couldn't I couldn't tell you any of his songs. I mean, I guess I should listen to it. I remember when he first came out, I don't remember what, was it a WrestleMania when he first came out?
Starting point is 00:54:18 It was like, it was a couple years ago. Yeah, with him and Damien Priest, I think, tagged together. Oh, that's right. Yeah, because then I was like, who the hell's this dude? And because all my friends are, oh, bad bunny, he's awesome.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Dada, da, da, da, blah. I don't know who he is. And I just thought he was just some guy that they just, he was the flavor of the month and brought him out. But now, but once he was in the ring, man, he did what he had to do. And I thought he did a good job. And he came out Royal Rumble. He was awesome. He didn't last very long, but it was good to see him.
Starting point is 00:54:50 And then this finally, in the buildup to this every time that he was on there doing what he was doing, Damien Priest will whoop his ass or he would whip Damien Priest's ass. and then we finally get to this. And I thought it was awesome that this, this match took place in Puerto Rico, where they're both from. And everybody was hyped. Everybody was hyped for this match. So I was too.
Starting point is 00:55:15 I mean, I like Damien Priest. Don't get me wrong, but I'm bad bunny. I just, I'm all, I was all over, I was all for him. And I was ready because I wanted him to just shine a little bit more. The crowd was definitely, it was not on Damien Priest's side.
Starting point is 00:55:30 he has some interesting hand gestures to the crowd. Yeah, I don't like the shit in his hair, man. They were coming out during the match. You can see them like on the ground and. And his white, yeah, I don't like the. I guess they said this was the outfit he wore when they tagged together. So it was supposed to be kind of saying something. about they used to be tag partners or something because they're billinous as they
Starting point is 00:56:05 they were best friends I guess I don't say were they I was like he has a tag partners but it was cool man I mean bad money man he did what he had to do I mean he started off a little rough he might have just winded himself because he was really going for it I mean he was trying to just move fast and he didn't move way faster than me I don't know how old he is, but man, he was doing it. And he was taking those bumps pretty hard. His Damien Priest was bringing it to him. And I'm sure they practice and practice and practice to get these right. And I'm sure you got to learn. I mean, you can't just be
Starting point is 00:56:49 just jump in the ring and think, oh, I could do this. If I jumped in the ring, I'd still be laying there. But he obviously, they trained him. And from what he says he grew up watching wrestling so that was good but yeah man he fucking Damien Peace in the beginning of this he was he was throwing him all over the place and body slamming him
Starting point is 00:57:11 left and right and thought that was really cool bad bunny man he was a good sport man he was taking he was taking all these bumps but it was cool though man I really love this match I thought it was awesome it was it should have been the main event but all right
Starting point is 00:57:27 I thought it was going to be the way they were building it up so much. Yeah, I think there was some changes in the plan because I think he originally was only supposed to be like host of backlash. And I think he wanted to wrestle and then they were supposed to be the main event. And I just heard there was a lot of moving around to things. On broadcast, I said, hell no, I'm main event. They're not main event. He fucking opened a... One of the WrestleMania days.
Starting point is 00:58:00 He probably didn't want to stay the whole day. He wanted to get out and do that Hollywood life. But I mean, this was a good match, man. I thought it went back and forth. I'm glad it wasn't like just boom, boom, boom, boom over with. This one kind of, they strung it along for a while. Because I guess, but at the end, when Bad Bunny, I'm some surprise he, they didn't carry it.
Starting point is 00:58:28 him out of the ring because he looked like he was tired. He was huffing and puffing and barely standing up at the end. He was tired after when they went into the crowd and they went up on the thing and what's that move? David, South
Starting point is 00:58:44 of Heaven gave him the South of Heaven off the speakers or whatever they were standing on. On to the cardboard boxes? Yeah. Luckily those boxes were there. I was surprised. I mean, of course street fight man
Starting point is 00:58:59 they always go out into the crowd but I was I was kind of like all right cool man they're doing what they've been doing and then I don't know
Starting point is 00:59:10 maybe everyone was just too slow and couldn't get out of the way because they kept kind of it wasn't the camera dudes the production dudes maybe they told them to get in the way it was like what the fuck everyone's in the way get out of the way
Starting point is 00:59:22 because they were just kind of moving through everyone but Damien priest man he just power ball or power slam choke slammed bad bunny hell hard and he's his head dushes bouncing off off the ring I mean
Starting point is 00:59:37 yeah you're coming down with pretty much full force on your back and I'm sure you try to keep that neck as stiff as possible but now when you're coming down that hard your head's gonna hit them resters they were ready they were ready to throw that X
Starting point is 00:59:56 if they had to Yeah, I thought it a couple times during this match. I thought he was going to just because when he was taking these hard bumps, I thought Bad Bunny was just going to get knocked out the way he kept hitting the back of his head. When David Priest jumped in the ring with that axe handle, I didn't even do nothing with it. Yeah, he kept grabbing weapons and getting in the ring and then looking at it like, I don't need this.
Starting point is 01:00:22 I was like, what the hell you get it for? Yeah, he just jumped in the ring with an axe handle. long it around and just threw it out. I don't need this. Bad Bunny got the chair and threw it in his face. Yeah, I think he did it with a candle stick. He picked up the candle stick and then looked at it and then broke it and was like, I don't need this. I was like, you're in a street fight. Use it. Or maybe it's bad bunny. You can't.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Bad Bunny's a Puerto Rican candle stick, the one that he had. He was all, it looked cool. And he didn't even. bring it out. He had a red one. I forgot it. But man, they were there was back and forth this old match. I loved what was going on. But yeah, when
Starting point is 01:01:08 they, when they got out into, into the crowd and then they went crashing. I love I love when the crowd is right there and they're right there fighting in front of you. I'm glad there was no planted.
Starting point is 01:01:25 crowd fans. I don't know, a random group of chairs with people sitting at them that aren't supposed to be there. I was kind of glad that was wasn't there. Yeah, Bad Bunny just hung up on one of the
Starting point is 01:01:40 production guys and he didn't get out of the way fast. But yeah, now they're climbing up onto these perfectly placed boxes for them to know those big crates, production crates. And he picks up that buddy and throws them.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Oh, they both go crashing onto it. I know they're cardboard boxes and yeah, it breaks your fall. I don't know, man. I think this, it wasn't that high.
Starting point is 01:02:14 High enough still, man. I mean, if you threw me through it some boxes, I'm going to, I'm going to go crashing into them as well. Bad buddy looked like I'm, I'm just going to lay here for a minute.
Starting point is 01:02:24 Yeah, both of them did. Because he was, probably he was just, let me just lay here and catch my breath. Because he, he wasn't moving for a while. And then the rest and everybody jumped in. But then we knew,
Starting point is 01:02:41 I was waiting for Finn and those guys to come into the ring. But yeah, man, this, where the hell is my phone? Damn it. Sorry, I wanted to take a part of. balls really quick, but the match was awesome.
Starting point is 01:02:58 I thought it was, it was just what they did. I mean, they beat the hell out of each other. Glad that it went outside of the ring. Of course, it's a street fight. I don't know how they do it in San Juan, but all right, that's how. WWE presented it. But Bad Bunny ended up pulling out via pinfall at the end. But it was a good match, man.
Starting point is 01:03:23 I thought they really, they really went for it. The crowd was there for, of course, bad bunny. But you did, there was some cheers and everything for, for Damian Priest as well. So, but we got a real quick talk about the, you know, judgment day did come out, but in return, Ray Mysterio and the LWO came out with Savio Vega and then Carlito. He came out first. Yeah, he. Yeah, Caribbean Cool Carlito. came out with the apple.
Starting point is 01:03:56 And he's, he's looking huge. Yeah. I mean, is he with the WWE or is he just? They just brought him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Okay. I know. Because when he came running, I was like, oh, yeah. But then I was like, wait,
Starting point is 01:04:14 is he back? Or is he just, because they're here. And I love, and I love the person that got spit in the face with the apple was Dominic he's
Starting point is 01:04:25 Don't that we get beat up he's just the kick around everything I was hoping Ray Mysterio was going to
Starting point is 01:04:38 keep that um looks like it had a Batman looking mask yeah black one I thought he was
Starting point is 01:04:45 to keep that one on I don't know it's pretty sweet but yeah they all came running out and
Starting point is 01:04:49 his judgment day came out And they didn't do anything really. I like that the LWO shirt logo was the Puerto Rican color, flag colors. Yeah. I kind of want both of those shirts. That one and the original. The original looking one, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:13 But you can also get those on pro wrestling teas, the Eddie Guerrero store. If I get one, I'm going to go that. route so at least uh i assume vicky is running that i don't know but didn't she just getting married again aren't her husband in trouble or something oh what what happened daddy's daughter i guess said that the the stepdad or whatever it was a little touchy oh yeah i didn't hear that i'm to look it up but not man don't I don't know
Starting point is 01:05:57 kick him to the curb so yeah and I don't know I just I didn't read it into it but it kind of sounded like that's what she was applying and I think maybe think he was defending him so I don't know man I don't want to get into that
Starting point is 01:06:17 but yeah that's just that's just how it goes sometimes I mean men and women it's just not women I mean I've seen it other cases with friends and I just try not to get involved in any of that
Starting point is 01:06:35 but no I mean when it comes to kids and everything man don't matter how old a child is but it's shouldn't be doing that anyway especially with kids hell no fuck that man some countries you get put to death
Starting point is 01:06:53 for doing shit like that that but but it was cool to see all those guys come running out and especially Carlito, Mr. Caribbean cool. Especially that I was waiting. Where's the apple? And then he pulled it out.
Starting point is 01:07:09 I was like, yeah. Yeah. You got to do what was his mood? The backstabber. Yeah. It's the backstabber. It's not the bank statement or the whatever. Ah. But everyone recycles somebody's moves and changes it. Like, I don't care.
Starting point is 01:07:31 The manhandled slam or whatever. That's not the bottom. Come on. But yeah, this match was good, man. I mean, CBS Sports gave it an A. And it ended good when everybody came running out. You knew everybody wasn't come running out. But I'm glad they didn't, like, come out and, like, hijack the match and take over the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:07:53 It was pretty much over. you knew it was coming to my end. Plus, it gave Bad Bunny a little bit of a breathing room when the shit was going on in the ring. Because like I said, when it was over, he stood up and he was huffing and puffing and he had to lean on the rope. So, man, he was winded. And he's well deserved, man. He did his job. He went out there and hyped everyone up and just put on a good show.
Starting point is 01:08:19 But, yeah, like I said, CBS Sports gave this an A-plus. All right. Next match. Seems kind of a filler, but it was an awesome match, I thought. Matt Riddle, Kevin Owens, Sammy Zane, taking on the bloodline with Solo, Sokoa. All right, really quick. Is this the beginning of the end for the bloodline? I think it's the beginning of the end for the Uso's in the bloodline.
Starting point is 01:08:52 I have a feeling Roman and Solo are going to Go up against those two I'm gonna call it now The Uso's are going to leave And they're going to bring in Other people
Starting point is 01:09:08 They got They got younger brothers and cousins that are wrestling I mean I don't know If they bring them straight in But I don't know How long they're going to keep this Bloodline storyline storyline going I do like what they were doing in this match with Solo
Starting point is 01:09:29 kind of tagging in, tagging himself in and like, look, this is how you do it. And we get in there and like destroy Sammy. There was no love for Sammy during this man. They were super kicking him to death. That's why they'd kick his head off. There was a good moment with Kevin.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Because Solo gave him the Simone Spike and just basically flipped him right out of his show. shoes. But I liked every time solo would just tag himself in and then one of the Uso's like, yeah, get in there, show me how it's done then,
Starting point is 01:10:09 and then immediately tag himself back in. Yeah, because he was, at some point, I thought he was going to just turn on them and beat that light of them because he had that looking his eye like he was going to, because he grabbed,
Starting point is 01:10:26 And, um, uh, uh, Jay. Yeah. I was about to give him that, uh, that spike. You go, you're going to hit me. I'm your brother. I don't break your thumb, man. I don't care.
Starting point is 01:10:39 I mean, it's, it's all taped up and everything, but. It's a spike. No, man. That'll bring your thumb. It was hard as you. Yeah. Shout out to the cousin, Umarga. Yeah, he was about to take out Jay.
Starting point is 01:10:59 You're my brother. You're my brother. So Solo's the youngest one, right? Yeah. He doesn't look like it, but he's the baby brother. But yeah, that was cool. It was a little distraction because Sammy Zane jumped in the ring. And then he just got whooped on really quick because he went up to the top.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Top roving is going to come jump down. Sammi was going to come down on top of Jay. but Jay brought up the knees and that still would hurt. I mean, I don't care what anyone, anyone says, man, you, you take those knees. Yeah, it may hurt the whoever, but no, man, you're going to, wait a minute, I thought Jay did the knees. It was Sammy Zane. Sammy Zane was brought up the knees on Jay and then almost pinned him. But yeah, like I said, man, they were kicking Sammy's super kicking him.
Starting point is 01:11:56 every chance they got. And at one point, all of them did at once. Because I did, you do pull it a little, but there were some times it looked like it was like full, especially from solo, like full connect.
Starting point is 01:12:14 But Sammy, man, he does what he does, man. He sold it because he would do that crazy little spin look on his face. Like he was all dizzy and then just fall, fall on his face. I was waiting for I was just waiting for Matt Riddle to get in because every time he jumped into the ring I was oh yeah I was I was I was
Starting point is 01:12:33 he was gone for a while how long was he was gone I think at least three four months maybe maybe a little bit longer I take it they're okay with him being the 420 bro or they just tell him they're selling t-shirt. I know. Because I assume I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:02 I mean, I don't know if weed is legal in Florida. But I don't know, man, because every time he's in the ring, even when he was a MMA fighting, his eyes were always all red. Yeah, it's just crazy now
Starting point is 01:13:18 that that didn't really work out because he kept failing drug tests. that now they're selling 420 t-shirts now. If it wasn't those bright colors, I'd get one. I mean, I like Matt Riddle. I think he's awesome. Was he that good of a M.M.A. fighter?
Starting point is 01:13:38 He was mid-level. Okay. Because I know I was watching, I didn't even know he was in that, was that reality show? Ultimate Fighter. Yeah, I didn't know he was in that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:52 And it was getting into it, one of those dudes one of those guys kept talking oh shit I'll beat your ass and Matt Riddle ended up beating his ass like a couple times so I thought that was really cool
Starting point is 01:14:04 I don't even know I think I watched no it was the boxing one the contender yeah was Stallone when he was a part of it in the beginning I remember watching that oh and then I remember watching the ultimate fighter when
Starting point is 01:14:18 um Ken Shamrock and uh Tito Ortiz were that was like the second or third of season yeah I'm going back and forth on each other and then I mean Ken Shamrock you you had your time I wouldn't I wouldn't talk shit to him
Starting point is 01:14:35 my ass um but I don't know Tito was young man he was a lot quicker I don't know man I mean original original heel of MMA Is he still wrestling again wasn't he in um Impact?
Starting point is 01:14:55 Ken Shamrock? I think he's doing the indie scene now. Okay. Because he used to live down the street from one of my buddies in Reno,
Starting point is 01:15:04 but I don't know. And then I saw he was wrestling again. So I didn't know if he was. Yeah, I know he made an appearance in the impact, but I think he's doing
Starting point is 01:15:12 the indie shows. Because what's his name came back to impact? Santino. Good. I guess he's allowed to use the, what is it, the, the cobra? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:30 I mean, the last few, I mean, the last few years, World Rumble, I was just waiting for him to come out. I mean, you're bringing in all these other old guys. Why not bring him in? I mean, let him come marching in. Let him last a little bit, maybe throw somebody out before he gets thrown out, at least in him do the cobra.
Starting point is 01:15:51 Because, what, I think the last time we saw him, he was Santina. Oh, God. He came out the women and, I don't know, I think it was Niagara Jackson. One of them threw them out. Do you remember that match? I don't know. I don't know what pay-review was when the Cobra went up against Sacco.
Starting point is 01:16:11 Yeah. Hey, man. It entertained us. Yeah, we did roll our eyes, but I was like, hey, man, whatever. It's good. I mean, I liked the cobra. I mean, I wish I would have a ball one.
Starting point is 01:16:26 I never did, though. I mean, I used to see him with every event and everything. I like the whole setup for it where you, like, tap his arm and then turn his hand around, position it in the cobra. I love how he just pulls it out. And they're, wow, everyone goes nuts. And yeah, he does all that. Cobra!
Starting point is 01:16:49 But I think he's like a, what should call her for impact? like a general manager type character now why not at least he's still in the business I guess I should start watching impact what's her name's the impact now Trinity
Starting point is 01:17:08 yeah I saw that good but what's her name needs to come back Mercedes Monet I don't know who that is the boss she needs to make her over there. Do you think she'd ever
Starting point is 01:17:22 come back to WWE? Yeah, I think she's just getting all this out of the way. You know, one, there's probably a dream of her as a wrestle on Japan and train with them out there. And she's going to do the indie scene and probably do some more acting. And then she'll be back. She better, man, because she was, for all of you, didn't watch Mandalorian. She came back.
Starting point is 01:17:45 So hopefully she'll be back next season. but watch her come back and then take the bell from mommy that'd be all right with that it's a dark day in wrestling we'll see how there goes
Starting point is 01:18:01 but I mean overall this match was pretty badass I mean you see the demise of the bloodline and let's say three more pay-per-views maybe a couple more raws or whatever and they finally just collapse
Starting point is 01:18:19 and then solo and Roman rains. I'm waiting for that time when solo turns on Roman. Oh, that's coming too. I don't know, man. I think that'll be a good match, though. I mean, they'll both beat each other up. But, of course, we got to see them take on the Uso's first. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:38 And then let them do the beat them up, then the ladies get involved, and then bring in the rock to close it all out. watch that bring him back for whatever reason. I don't know if he's still in good graces with WWE, but... It should be. Let's him come back and take the belt. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:03 I was mad when he took the belt from Sam Punk and then just disappeared, but I don't know. Well, we'll see. Whatever puts butts in the seats and sells tickets. CBS Sports, man, they gave this one an A. And I'm with all that. I mean, I thought it was really cool. They did their job. It just, for me, it furthered the bloodline story.
Starting point is 01:19:26 You kind of, to me, you kind of maybe finish the whole thing with Sammy. Well, not Sammy, but, you know, this feud and just kind of gave a new angle to the whole bloodline thing with solo. Yeah, because the bloodline ended up pulling it out. They pinned Riddle and that was it. But it like it happened so fast at the end because there was too much going on and then next thing, you know, ding, ding, ding. I was like, what happened? I had to rewind it because I was like, well, got pinned. But it was, it was just a big mess at the end because it was just kind of getting out of hand.
Starting point is 01:20:07 But yeah, again, they gave us an A, that match in A. So I'm with that. All right. The main event time. Cody Rhodes, the American nightmare, taking on the beast, Brock Lesner. Yeah, CBS Ford gave this an A-Mines.
Starting point is 01:20:27 Okay. I thought it was, they did what they were going to do, but of course, we knew what was going to happen. Lesnar was going to throw Cody Rhodes all over the place, and he did.
Starting point is 01:20:42 I thought that was really cool. I mean, Cody Rhodes did what he had to do. I love the move the most. It's a little simple move, but it's more just a slap in the face when Cody goes down and falls on the back and it just kind of gives you that little throat. The gold dust move. I love that move. He didn't do the elbow for his dad. I was waiting for that.
Starting point is 01:21:11 They're trying to play this match a little more serious. is. He could have still done it, man. Just do it once. He didn't have to do it over and over. It's a cartwheel and do the star sign. No, nobody wants that anymore. No more star dust.
Starting point is 01:21:28 That character is gone and dead. I don't think he would ever do that again. Maybe if they had like a Halloween show or something and he came out as star dust. But no, you do what you got to do, man, to get that paycheck. Yeah, sometimes you got to dress up like someone that's intergalactic character or whatever. Oh, man. Yeah, that's what I knew was that was the end for him. But yeah, as far as this match, I wasn't as into it in the beginning, but then after Cody started taking, after him getting a beating through most of it and then him making that comeback and then that, that moment in the match where, uh, I forgot.
Starting point is 01:22:13 how I went, but the turnbuckle pad came off. Cody took it off. Cody took it off and then Brock went ahead and first into it and legitly busted himself off and I don't know if that was
Starting point is 01:22:29 planned or not, but he that was a legit cut right there. All right. All right, really quick, everyone, before we kind of dive into the rest of it. I think he bladed himself. I don't know, because this is why I say that. If you guys go back and watch that part again,
Starting point is 01:22:51 when Cody took the turn buckle off and he threw it into the crowd. I don't know if they went and got it back, but when Brock went head first into it, he kind of, he was on his knees and he kind of came back. His head was fine. that didn't see any kind of cut or blood or anything Brock brought his hand up to his forehead for a second and then he brought it down
Starting point is 01:23:25 and then immediately the blood just started pouring down the side of his forehead and onto his face because it was like a bloody mess it was all over his face blood all over the ring there's blood all over Cody and it looked like I don't know did he blade himself I don't know I don't know
Starting point is 01:23:47 some people are saying he did some people say no it just took a second I would go the other way because it's still real to me I don't know but I watched that part over a couple of times I was like whoa wait a minute but whatever I mean
Starting point is 01:24:06 they let it slide The reason why I say it wasn't a blade job because I watched him, his appearance on Raw the next night. And it looked like he might have had staples put in the cut. Well, it looked like a big gash because when the blood was pouring out, yeah, it looked like it was open. That's why I'm saying. I don't know if it was a blade job because it just how busted open it was.
Starting point is 01:24:39 I don't know. I'm just going by because when he pulled his head back and nothing happened and then he touched his forehead and then he moved his hand and the blood came push it was like a little waterfall.
Starting point is 01:24:52 It just immediately started pouring out his face. So I don't know. I mean, if he did, he did. If he didn't, he didn't. But either way, man,
Starting point is 01:24:59 he was a bloody mess. Yeah, it was a big turning point in a match. Yeah, because that's when Cody started when Cody started a strike. because he was other than the blood being everywhere it wasn't just
Starting point is 01:25:14 it was in you can see legit see that it was in his eyes because he kept blinking and he kept trying to wipe the blood at some point someone threw a towel to him really quick and he wiped off what he could and then kept going
Starting point is 01:25:30 but see I'm reading something here saying Lesner was seen to be really mad as the show went out the air because I think they're saying he wasn't expecting to be cut. Well, I mean, I mean, he could have just been playing to the crowd, but I think this is somebody saying this was after the paper me was over.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Yeah, because he didn't usually whoever loses just rolls out of the ring and that's it. No, he stayed in there because he was. Somebody threw him a towel. Yeah. the blood away and he looked irritated. Yeah, I don't know, maybe he just didn't go. Who knows? Maybe he was supposed to win, but the blood kind of just ruined it.
Starting point is 01:26:22 You know, now that you're saying that, I can see Brock being pissed because somebody maybe called an audible and they were like, because he's bleeding, because you know, W.W.E. don't like blood anymore. Yeah. So maybe they called an audible and basically the finish was, uh, he was in. And, uh, listen, Brock had him in his submission and, uh, Cody just kind of rolled him up on his shoulders and pin him for the quick one, two, three. So maybe they called an audible. And Brock was like pissed off that he had lost like that.
Starting point is 01:26:59 Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Maybe he was just because it was, there was a lot of blood. It wasn't just little trickles and speckles here and there. No, it was, it was pouring out. I mean, it was at a few points in the. match his whole face was red and he was just like i was saying he was just wiping the blood out of
Starting point is 01:27:18 his eyes to keep to keep going and cody had it all on his chest a little bit on his face but i mean they they kept the match going for yeah because it seemed like it ended pretty quick after all that so i don't know maybe brock was supposed to win uh but that would have sucked because then I would have been Cody lost at WrestleMania, which he I would have been all right if he won and he had the belts,
Starting point is 01:27:45 but I was like, I don't think they were going to let Roman drop him at WrestleMania, but setting up the rematch because he showed up on Raw and destroyed Cody and kept getting
Starting point is 01:28:01 into camera up in the camera, talking about look at my face, look what you did to my face. face because he's kind of got like a kind of a little bit of a black eye too a little swelling around the eye so no no I don't know I will see but I liked when they went out out of the ring Cody was bringing the chairs it just beat in that a lot of Brock I mean yeah they hit him in the back and
Starting point is 01:28:34 everything but that there was because it started off of the bang I mean, Cody came diving out of the ring right on to Lesnar. And that's when it started. Because that was all before the bell rang because that's when he started hitting them with the chairs. But and then they got back in the ring and then they did the bell rang. And then Cody just started doing everything he was doing. Man, that disaster kick, look, I could connect it pretty good. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Because he hit him with two of those. Yeah, I was about to say there was two of them. They looked real good. Yeah. But, you know, it's, I don't know. I just always, I don't know how he takes it, but I always felt like, because of his background in MMA and wrestling, I always felt like Brock can take a little bit more than everybody else.
Starting point is 01:29:23 Oh, I think so. I mean, he can, he can take a lot. I mean, he's been fighting big brutes, like real fighting. These guys, I mean, it's, of course, it's all choreographed and planned and everything. But, yeah, I think that's why he takes a lot. lot of a lot more a little more punishment he can he can handle it I mean but when when you know it's coming it's it's different I always go back to the um the the Rural Rumble I think it was a real rumble and um what's his name when he got a little too wild um brown brown
Starting point is 01:29:59 stroman yeah to give him a little extra on the punch after that yeah because he need uh Brock in the face hella hard and you see instantly how mad he was because then he just got up and blah clocked brum brawn in the side of the head and then you can hear yeah let's take here
Starting point is 01:30:20 and you can when he connected with that punch braun kind of did the little spaghetti legs for a second yeah man he was dazed but they they kept it going but yeah Brock was he was pissed in this one
Starting point is 01:30:36 but that tells you what kind of person Brock is because I read that Brian apologized to him after Brown's not a small man I mean you're you especially when there's like a billion guys in the ring and you're just trying to put on a good show
Starting point is 01:30:53 and yeah the adrenaline's flowing and yeah sometimes you just get a little out of hand I'm sure you didn't mean to kick him as hard as he did but Rock wasn't playing that shit he just immediately he gave him that receipt let him have it
Starting point is 01:31:09 but I mean this match was good I mean Cody I didn't think he was going to win that was a little shocker and who knows again like we said maybe Brock was supposed to win but they just had to end it because there was too much blood because yeah when Cody
Starting point is 01:31:23 jumped out of the ring after he won uh Brock was just sitting there and then yeah you see somebody throw him a towel and then he was just like the blood away he made me think of that dodge ball Ben Stiller and he made me believe my own blood he's just irritated.
Starting point is 01:31:42 Yeah, you could see how mad he was. He was just sitting in the ring. Like, I don't know. Again, who knows? We don't run the show. We don't know exactly what goes on after. But yeah, I kind of have a feeling he was supposed to win. So, but it just got out of hand.
Starting point is 01:32:02 So, but overall, I thought back this year's backlash was awesome. everyone's doing these write-ups now. I don't know how true they are. They want backlash to be permanently in Puerto Rico every year. I'm cool with that. Hey, me too. I thought it was good, man. I love the Saudi Arabia stuff when everyone's all super hyped and everything over there.
Starting point is 01:32:27 Yeah, that was what, no, no, not, is it nine of champions? Yeah. Look at that right now. The 27th, I believe. like two weeks night of champions is you know may 27th in the jet as super dome this is a little be like early in the morning not early early but it'll i remember one of those ones i think it was like at nine when it came on nine in the morning for us here and uh and we have a new world champ there because of this new belt that they have
Starting point is 01:33:06 because I think they're doing the belt staying on the raw on Smackdown now so which makes me wonder are they going to combine Romans belts into one belt for Smackdown?
Starting point is 01:33:26 Or is he just going to continue to carry two belts because he doesn't give a fuck? I don't know. Maybe he's like try to take him from me or some stupid like that. I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. Oh man.
Starting point is 01:33:42 I want Edge to have it. I don't know. I mean, I like that idea. Whoever came up with that idea that that Edge should have it or win it. I think he's in the tournament. I don't know. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:33:54 I mean, he's, he's Edge. He's a red-ed-dural superstar. He didn't want to retire. He had to. He just got hurt. I mean, doing what he loves to entertain us and everything. think so I don't know
Starting point is 01:34:08 we'll see how that goes looking at the matches that are already announced of course Cody and Brock rematch and Seth has already made it to the finals of the tournament for the new heavyweight championship belt
Starting point is 01:34:25 so whoever I think it's on Smackdown whoever wins that portion of the tournament is going to go against Seth in the night of champions should be him and edge just do that that would be an awesome match yeah i think so too and bring uh pat maccify for whatever reason you can bring him and uh what's his day well he's not a champs i guess he's not
Starting point is 01:34:51 a champion um logan paul i know a lot of people hate him for some reason i i like i like logan paul he does what he does when he's in the ring same thing with pat maccavy yeah he's just he's the comic relief but I mean he does it I like him most when he's commentating because he's always messing up something yeah but do it how they usually they've been doing it like don't have him beginning the show just kind of surprise everybody just just hit his music and then listen to Corey Grig and get all pissed off that he's there yeah all right but yeah we'll be back um around a couple weeks with night of champions from real
Starting point is 01:35:39 Saudi Arabia. I think that's worth that. I don't know if it said that one they had at the last year or whenever. I remember that one. It was like 90-something degrees. And it was hell it was that night. And everybody was when Goldberg almost killed
Starting point is 01:35:57 The Undertaker. Oh, gosh. When he knocked himself out and then almost killed the Undertaker? Yeah, I mean, leave those old old fogies at home. don't we don't need them to go out there and try to entertain everyone in that heat. That's so scary seeing a concussed man thinking he can pick up another large man. All right, everyone.
