Starting point is 00:00:06 Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns. What's up everybody? Welcome back to the wrestling returns, late and wrong edition. I'm your host, Brian. With me as always is my brother Nez. What's up, man? Hey, everyone. Yeah, just life and graduations and everything was going on.
Starting point is 00:00:32 The past couple months, so just getting in there. never we can and all the regular show's been going so you guys have been listening to that as well as east society and all that we've got our stuff in i think i mentioned a little bit of this on east society i don't i don't remember but yeah backlash um backlash france yeah when did this take place this took place may 4th okay it is now june june 12th or almost June 13th for you. Yeah. I'm just going to tell you guys all right now.
Starting point is 00:01:18 If you guys have been listening to everything, that my cough is still bothering me. I was taking these pills that the doctor gave me. I just take them. I don't read what it's called or what I was reading this one and all this warning stuff on it. Don't be driving. These will make you drive.
Starting point is 00:01:39 And I was like, shit, that's probably why I've been tired all week at work. I was just taking them because I was supposed to take it three times a day. And I was just sitting like, man, why am I so tired? Luckily, it wasn't too busy. So I was able to take power naps in between. But I looked at the bottle yesterday and I was like, fuck, this is probably why I'm so tired. So I just, I'll take them on my off days and hopefully that'll help. But, oh, man.
Starting point is 00:02:07 But backlash. I'll give it to If we have any Listeners in France Man You guys were The WWE universe over there was hyped They were so hyped
Starting point is 00:02:24 What was the one? Was it Puerto Rico or Oh last backlash Yeah Where was that one? Puerto Rico They were badass too They were hell aloud
Starting point is 00:02:34 I loved all that I'm sorry to say but I think all these events that are out of the United States, their crowds have been killing it everywhere. I mean, that's what's cool because, I mean, just within these last few years, they've been doing the premium live events or whatever you want to call them now.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Yeah. And they always sell out. They always do good. I mean, it's packed. Everybody's loud as hell. And that's what I love. But with this one, They were loud in Puerto Rico.
Starting point is 00:03:09 And when you guys listening down there, right now, thank you. But these guys were so loud in there. I don't know how true it was that they were getting noise complaints saying that you guys are too loud. You guys need to be quiet. But that was no way you could tell the crowd to be quiet, even if that was true. I don't know. It was either true or it wasn't. It's just what they were showing on TV and on Twitter and everything.
Starting point is 00:03:33 But they were loud. They were so loud. you couldn't even hear Michael Cole and the gang because I was like are they talking to me? Why don't they turn their mics up or something? Because I was like
Starting point is 00:03:49 man and all the chanting they were doing and singing I loved how they just sang everybody's theme songs. Yeah, they were going along with Samantha Irvin while she was doing the announcements. Yeah, and the
Starting point is 00:04:07 the chance they were doing, it was all in French, which I thought was amazing. I had to look up what they were saying. I was on Instagram, and everyone was like, what were they saying? And there's some French people. Oh, they were saying this. And every time they were doing the count,
Starting point is 00:04:29 they do either one, two, and then say something else after that. I guess there was, they're paying respect to some announcer that over there that for I don't know if it was wrestling, boxing or whatever, they said they were paying homage to them. That's why they kept doing that. Because I was like, what the hell are they saying?
Starting point is 00:04:50 I didn't really look up anything until after it was all over with. But with as loud as they were and as hyped as they were, oh man. I mean, even, was it this pay-per-view? was it someone else with the CM punk sign in the back I don't remember
Starting point is 00:05:12 someone that is I don't know if it was this one or if it was crown jewel the other one after this after this one was king and queen of the ring which was in Saudi Arabia okay oh yeah that one I don't know if it was I think it was
Starting point is 00:05:32 I think it was king, queen or whatever. Somebody in the background had a CM Punk sign. I can't remember. But I mean, everybody had their signs and everybody was super hyped.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And it was crazy on how everybody was. And I just thought that was amazing on how juiced everyone was. So it made it a good pay-per-view, the backlash on how hyped everybody was and I was just, man, I just couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And yeah, like when these events go on in other countries, it's cool because they probably don't get it as much as we do here in the States. We get it what, twice a week, every week and all over the country. So for them to get it over there and to do this, I do think that WrestleMania is going to be in some different country one year. I think I've read something Triple-Aid said they're going to be doing a lot more stuff out of the country but I think they said WrestleMania
Starting point is 00:06:41 most likely will stay in America they should do one somewhere just just to try it I mean we know they're dying for it in the UK yeah
Starting point is 00:06:58 I mean oh obviously it'll sell out whatever their biggest stadium, soccer stadium or football stadium over there. It's soccer here in America, football over there. That's what my buddy kept telling you. He was like, stop calling it soccer. I'm like, whoops. I'm in America. That's what they call it here.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I said, I understand it's football over there. Because even my buddy from Africa, he was saying that. He was like, he used to come to my game. He goes, why do you guys call it soccer? I went, I just, I don't know. He goes, it's football. In Africa, I'm like, okay. I didn't know anything about that.
Starting point is 00:07:40 But backlash, man. Again, excuse me, as hyped as everybody was, as loud as they were. It was, I thinking, as loud as when the crowd is super hyped, it seems like the wrestlers go harder. Yeah. And I thought they all did. guys and gals i mean they they went super hard and everything so yeah i feel like it they they feel that energy from the crowd so they put it into their matches yeah i mean good i mean i i was happy
Starting point is 00:08:16 that uh everyone was so they were super psyched and everything but um overall what did you think of the the pay-per-view i thought it was a pretty solid pay-per-view p lea whatever we call it we're going to continue to call it paperbues because we're older so that's what they are but I thought it was solid showing for a lot of people
Starting point is 00:08:41 there was a match or two that we'll get to the women's tag team match with I thought it was just completely awful but we got some debuts a fucking fantastic
Starting point is 00:08:59 showing for uh j uso that that was that had to be one of the highlights of his career just that that entrance and that that ovation for him from the crowd singing his song yeah and your bull your your boy uh cori graves is talking about all the flashlights going he's like oh i'm getting vertigo in here i was glad we couldn't even hear him but uh the the first match if I can remember right now it was Kevin Owens Randy Orton taking on the bloodline
Starting point is 00:09:37 Solo Sacoa and how do you say this guy is Tamatanga Yeah Tomatanga I I guess you just need more Of the bloodline since A tribal chief is gone
Starting point is 00:10:00 At this point Yeah I like what they're doing though because i've been keeping up with the bloodline story they instead of ending it they made some changes to it and they're doing this thing where solo has made himself the head of the table now that's i lacked all the signs not my tribal chief yeah because i was telling because my my youngest daughter she's a big roman fan and she doesn't she didn't she doesn't she doesn't like when anybody booze him. But now that Solo's
Starting point is 00:10:37 doing this, I'm the tribal chief, I'm the head of the table. All you hear is we want Roman chance. Oh, yeah. I mean, if he doesn't care, I'm sure it would bug you. I mean, you're trying to make your name and everyone's
Starting point is 00:10:54 screaming. I mean, look at, what's his nuts? Well, there's been a bunch of wrestlers. Ryback. And everyone was just yelling Goldberg. Yeah. speaking to him no no no uh not right back oh yeah i was talking about right back but uh what's his name almost pulled uh zelina vegas arms out of her socket uh braun strobin yeah i liked her reaction to it
Starting point is 00:11:23 yeah she looked like she was not enjoying it but he i don't know he realized she's she's really small i don't know exactly how tall she is but it's like closer like five feet yeah she She was holding her own, but you could see in her eyes like, what are you doing? But this first match, I mean, it did start off with the bang when everyone just kind of rushed each other and fell out of the ring and started beating the hell out of each other. I liked it. Yeah, which caused the security to come out, break it up, and Nick Aldous, which I like Nick Aldous as the Smackdown General Manager. And he was just basically, you guys are going to keep doing. doing this. Let's just make it a street fight.
Starting point is 00:12:09 I don't, I don't care for the street fight matches because it's just, it just gets goofy. Yeah. So, I mean, I don't mind when they go out into the crowd and, and fight. But when you know it's a street match, that's when you get the random things that don't need to be there, pop up. I just don't like when it goes to the crowd. And you don't, you like, you don't know. what's going on with Kevin Owens and Tomatanga because you're over here watching
Starting point is 00:12:42 Randy Orden and Solo yeah the part I did like I'm watching it right now it was after when everyone was beating the hell of each other and all the refs and security and guys the suits came out Kevin Owens got in the ring and started stunning all the security guards and these guys were not good sellers they were just Paulie But it was funny though I remember watching it and then yes when not what's his face came out and Told everyone to calm down, but but I mean overall I did I did like this match. I mean there was some good spots Of course when you go out of the crowd and like you said I mean I know there's two cameras On each other but then sometimes the smaller screen when you're watching it is like the better fight
Starting point is 00:13:34 And the big screen is nothing's happening. Because right now we see Kevin Owens beating the hell out of a solo. And then the other dude runs up behind him and grabs him. And then they start beating the hell out of each other. But the big screen, they were focusing on Randy Orton. And he's by himself just walking around the ring. I'm like, somebody switch it. So what?
Starting point is 00:13:59 It didn't take me out of the whole thing. but um it's cool though i mean i like when they go out into the crowd especially here in another country and to be up up close and personal with all the action well obviously they do have all the security around them to try to keep the crowd back but i love it when they sometimes accidentally go into the crowd i mean you're just doing whatever sometimes your balance isn't the greatest and you go you go falling into people and like when they do that
Starting point is 00:14:34 the thing that bugs me the most is then they set up people in the crowd that's when they go crashing into them I'm like nah you got these four random big dudes all sitting right next one and then somebody comes flying over into the crowd
Starting point is 00:14:52 but again yeah this match was good um how much more do you think Randy Orton's going to do. He's been at it for a long time now. I'm going to go out there and say he's got at least a couple more years in him. I mean, he came back in amazing shape, probably best shape he's been in in years. You know, obviously, if you look at him, he put on some more muscle. But as we've seen recently with Adam Copeland, everybody knows him as Edge,
Starting point is 00:15:29 shit happens because he just broke his leg in the last pay-per-view the AEW had jumping off the cage yeah thinking he was young the way he landed who yeah why would you I was like why would you land on your feet and I thought
Starting point is 00:15:49 he I don't know maybe he messed up or maybe misjudged I don't know what happened yeah because I was wondering why did you land on your feet from so high it looked like he was trying to do a fin baller kuda grah
Starting point is 00:16:05 ooh not from way up there but I think I've seen that he said something in his mind he's jumping off from 15 feet up but his body when he landed told him he just jumped from 50 feet
Starting point is 00:16:20 yeah I mean that was that was no good I mean edge he's But I don't know, man. I mean, be careful. I mean, you're no spring chicken anymore. You got nothing to prove, really.
Starting point is 00:16:38 But I get it. You still want to make your mark in another wrestling company. Yeah, I feel like that's why he's there. Because I feel like they wouldn't have never let him do that spot in WW. Oh, no. I mean, you can clearly see the AEW basically just put on a good show and do what you want. so I don't know we'll see what happens
Starting point is 00:17:04 I mean if he comes back and then retires again he's got none to proof nothing he's a Hall of Famer I mean that should be enough him and his wife and she still signed the WWE oh yeah but I mean
Starting point is 00:17:20 they don't they don't need to do it but I mean I don't know how much money they're getting but either way and as far as punk too I don't know man he seems to be getting hurt constantly but I don't know we'll see what happens once he comes back
Starting point is 00:17:39 but yeah this street fight with him bringing out everything beating the hell out of each other and then breaking out the tables and the dehydration stationed our hydration station the hydration station takes L's every pay-per-view they didn't have it in the last one I think they did. I think somebody kicked it early out of the way.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Okay. I think I'm almost positive. Somebody kicked it early and they just never put it back up. Because yeah, this one, they went crashing into it and it's all over the floor. And those are full bottles. And if you're not paying attention, you step on one of those things. You're going to twist your ankle or slip or something. But, yeah, you do what you got to do over there.
Starting point is 00:18:28 but yeah man once they broke out of the tables uh Kevin Owens they're just beating the shit out of uh everybody Randy Orton was taking on solo and Kevin Owens was slapping up what the hell's his name again Tomah Tomatong yeah Kevin Owens too man he goes so hard every match he does and he's a heavy guy so I'm like man take it easy I mean, how bad do your joints feel after each match?
Starting point is 00:19:02 My joints are just walking from the parking lot into work, but I'm not jumping off stuff. I think at some point, I'm hoping solo kind of just ditches the heel thing, because I think maybe he's going to, like, get tired. And I see him and Roman Raines battling at some point. Yeah, I think that's what this is leading towards. It can be battle for To there's a sign not my tribal chief It's gonna be battle for the table
Starting point is 00:19:35 Because there's rumors that One of their cousins Jacob Fatu I think we talked about it before Has already signed He just hasn't debuted yet But I heard another rumor Well I'll just get to the last part here Thomas' brother
Starting point is 00:19:55 Tongaloa debut help out the bloodline and they got another family member I think I'm going to pronounce his name Ron Helico he's like he's like 6-7-6-8 they're saying he's coming to WWE so I think Solo's going to have the Tongans
Starting point is 00:20:15 and Jacob's going to join Roman when he comes back and that's going to set up the whole battle for the table and you know the Uso's are going to join in he's to bring in Naya that's what I keep telling everybody why don't they bring in the FEMA members
Starting point is 00:20:35 bring to have Tamina do something she ain't been on TV for like a year Queen uh queen Naya bring her in she she beat up the men I mean shit she fucking was in the world rumble yeah I mean
Starting point is 00:20:54 Nia is a heel now she she can be with solo and uh Yeah. Jimmy can bring on Naomi. She's technically bloodline by marriage. Yep. Bring them all in. And if they all just teamed up, we've said this before, man, they could just wreck house on everybody. One big clan and one big family and just beat the hell out of every locker room. So, but I don't know. We'll see. but again yeah this match was pretty good man they they went super hard um and the crowd was hyped for it i mean
Starting point is 00:21:35 everybody was on their feet pretty much uh every match i mean they'd be starting sitting down but once everything got super hyped it's when everybody jumped up did you see the did you see the botch for tangeloa's debut no what happened uh the referee he's supposed to pull the referee out but i guess they I guess they fixed it on the network for the replays, but I guess the referee had to pull himself out because Tongoloa missed his, I think that's how you say him, say his name. I think he missed his cue to come out from under the ring. Well, there's a screen under there, and I'm sure someone in his ear,
Starting point is 00:22:19 come out! Yeah, because I've seen one of those, you know, people be catching stuff on there. cell phones. Yeah. And the ref just basically pushes himself out the ring before he counts three. I'll find that one then. But, yeah,
Starting point is 00:22:39 and this one, they, CBS Sports, they gave it an A plus or A minus. The bloodline did defeat Kevin Owens and Randy Orton via pinfall. I'm okay with that great. I mean, they put on a good show. And I'm sure hearing everyone as hyped as everybody was, I mean, got to get you more height.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I mean, I could speak from experience when I used to do shows. You get those times of the shows when everyone's just quiet and everything. And when you get those shows when everyone's hyped, it gets you more hyped. So. I know Randy was pumped because they was singing his theme song, Wherefore? Yeah. That's what I liked about how everyone was. But yeah, again, everyone, they were booed. the hell out of this version of the bloodline
Starting point is 00:23:29 because every time when he would turn to the crowd everyone would start booing and giving him the thumbs down and then that not my tribal chief sign would come up and oh man I like what Paul Heyman's doing like he's so afraid of solo as saying the wrong
Starting point is 00:23:46 thing he keeps trying to call Roman and solo be snatching the phone out of his hand I don't know been up onto the shows is he back yet or is he still going roman yeah i guess it came out that paul said he hasn't spoken to him since russomania and solos claiming that he's he's spoken to roman and he knows what's going on but paul's been doing this like he's afraid for his life
Starting point is 00:24:20 saying the wrong thing especially around the tamata tanga tangaloa Uh-huh. So they're really selling this that Roman don't know what's going on. See. But I hear he ain't going to be back for a while. He's filming movies right now. Is he in the next Fast and Furious or whatever?
Starting point is 00:24:45 I don't even know what they're doing with that because they're doing the Dante thing, the Jason Momoa storyline. They're going to finish it up in the next Hobbes. movie. I didn't even see the last fast and fast X or whatever you want to call. Oh, you haven't? I still haven't seen it yet.
Starting point is 00:25:03 You need to watch it. It's like so ridiculous. It's fun just based on how ridiculous it gets. All right. And hands down Jason Momoa, best fast feeling. Right. Because I feel like he just had so much fun in that movie. My girl in it a lot.
Starting point is 00:25:25 My Michelle. Yeah, she's there. All right. All right, moving on, the WWE Women's Championship match. Bailey, the champ, taking on Tiffany Stratton versus Anne Naomi.
Starting point is 00:25:44 This one, I love Tiffany Stratton. She's getting better and better in my eyes. I mean, I know some people don't like her, but she's a star she's a future champ because she goes hard
Starting point is 00:26:02 that's why I like it if it wasn't Bailey winning having her moment at WrestleMania this this so recently I wouldn't mind if Tiffany took the belt this match oh hell no maybe you've got to ride this out
Starting point is 00:26:19 yeah that's what I'm saying if this was like six months from now or something like that now bailing just hold on this for years that did they have she needs to she's the beige champ don't do the I'm a hugger and the side pony
Starting point is 00:26:37 and I don't want that anymore I want this bailie I know she's not the heel anymore she's I guess got to be the face but I mean you can still be a heel and a champ but yeah but she's starting to do that
Starting point is 00:26:52 everybody's my friend And I'm giving Naomi this championship title shot because she deserves it. I was like, Bailey, I don't want to hear none of that. I want you to go back to talk show Bailey. Yeah, bring those glasses. Yeah. Bring those glasses back. And what's her name?
Starting point is 00:27:14 Samantha's so fine. Ricochet, you're a lucky man. I hope she stays. She needs to. Because Ricochet, you know, he just left. Yeah. And that's his fiancee. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Everyone loves her. So they need to hold on to her. I mean, how often have they spotlighted female announcers? I love how she's just into the matches or she's going along with whatever, you know, storyline there is. Yeah, because she sits there and watches. She's not watching a screen. She's actually watching the match go. And she's they they obviously have a camera on her as well
Starting point is 00:27:57 Because there's they always posting videos of her reactions and everything Nothing beat the WrestleMania one that always brought me to tears every time I watch them But this one everyone was high especially when Naomi came out The glow and all that and the lights went out and everyone had their The cell phone flashlights on and they everyone was dancing and hyped I'm glad she's back I mean I didn't like why she left and uh the boss aka the CEO she's doing her thing uh i don't i don't like what they're doing with her at a w i don't either but she's right now
Starting point is 00:28:38 she's their television champ she you paid all that money to have her come there and you made her a mid-level champ i don't know i think she'll do that run for a while over there once her contracts up she means you know she may sign or um triple h is running the show I mean she came back I mean she can come back and still be Monet I mean I'd be all right with it
Starting point is 00:29:07 but yeah she'll she'll be back because she's still close friends with Bailey and Naomi and I'm sure Naomi's gonna tell her you know I came back because you know they're doing this this and this for me I mean yeah because
Starting point is 00:29:24 what's his name left? I'm sure half his crew went with him and I don't know what's going on with him but I see man they they're getting she's getting a bigger push now I mean I hope at some point Naomi gets the belt again because she had it she had a WrestleMania moment and then what the next day she had to give it up she got hurt yeah what sucks I mean I don't want to see her have another title run
Starting point is 00:29:54 but they'll probably give it to Tiffy Time before Naomi gets it again. I'm loving Tiffy Time because she is every pay-per-view we've seen her in, every big match she's been showing out. Yeah, I mean, they all went hard in this. But I did notice that Naomi and Bailey didn't attack each other that hard. I mean, they did some good spots and everything. Bailey is always going to be my all-star She's always going to be my champ
Starting point is 00:30:28 But yeah Tiffy she was She was showing way more than both of them So but I mean I love her or hate her Beautiful young woman But my beauty isn't everything In my eyes, especially when it comes of wrestling I mean there's there's been some beautiful women But sucked in the ring
Starting point is 00:30:50 Yeah, what's her name? All red Yeah oh so fine i was all right with that worst wrestler ever i was okay with it they couldn't even figure out a good gimmick to go along with her worst wrestling that's how bad she was obviously she got hired for her looks and not her actions uh in the ring but i mean what everyone now that's that's on the roster and the female roster i think they all they all they're all they're all
Starting point is 00:31:24 all killing it of every single one of them i mean i just wish more they stop doing uh what's her name dirty a little blonde girl um candis loray i i just go back to watching all her indie stuff and how much she was killing it and then they bring they bring her to nxte and she was shining there but then once they brought her up to the main roster it was like you're just uh you're just a filler i'm like yeah you got a point i mean
Starting point is 00:31:52 can this was she was going hard wrestling men. Yeah. And the Indies and doing hardcore matches and all kinds of shit. And I mean, I like that they got her teamed up with Indy Hardwell, but they just don't do nothing with them. No. They're just the kick-around. So they bring them out and they just let them get slapped around. But I don't know. We're not running the show. Should be.
Starting point is 00:32:21 But I noticed, man. I mean, tippy time, she was running this match the whole time. I mean, I would have been hella mad if Bailey lost the belt here. But, I mean, she's going to hold on to her for a little while. So we'll see how it goes. But yeah, at some point, I do see a belt on her. I think she's going to keep going after Bailey until it's hers because Lively got the other belt. Mommy's coming back
Starting point is 00:32:53 and she's going to take that shit quick. But I like how they're setting that up, though. And she's going to beat up dirty Dom. Oh, Dom, Dom. Yep, he's doing Mommy dirty. Dom, I can't blame you, man. Can't blame you.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Oh, man, you're stupid, dirty, Dom. No. I used to like you. Now I'm not liking you anymore. but this match again yeah i mean Tiffany she was they just they just threw uh Naomi out of the ring and these two were going at it
Starting point is 00:33:32 hella hard Charles Robinson he kept he was almost getting in the way he kept moving because these girls these gals were moving a little too fast uh for him um but bailey i mean she she was holding her own She was doing what she had to do to keep the match going.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Obviously, like I said before, they were letting Tiffany shine a little bit more. Probably told her, look, man, you better go hard. We're in another country and go for her. And she did. She did her job. She went hella hard in this match. So, yeah, but Naomi, did she need to be in this? No, but I just enjoy seeing her every time she comes.
Starting point is 00:34:18 especially when she does the um it's not the backstop what's it called um the rear view yeah all right they just pulled back on the camera and uh yeah Naomi's laying out on the side dead while Tiffany's beating the hell out of Bailey god damn Bailey I'm sorry but I love when Tiffany Stratton does her little um a little summer assaults and backflips and everything. I mean, she... Oh, when someone's in the corner. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Yeah, she launches herself. Yeah, and times it perfectly. I love it how she just does, that, that, that comes back, boom. I guess that was her... I guess that's her background before pro wrestling. She was a, like, champion gymnast. All that shows.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And they only just jumped back in the ring and broke it all. look but who was when she was one of the was it the funcadactyls or whatever is that what they were called yeah with other girl whatever other girl was she couldn't wrestle
Starting point is 00:35:36 she came back for the rumbull yeah but they got eliminated before Naomi even came to the ring yeah she didn't do nothing I mean I was like yeah I remember when they wanted to sing the Brodus Clay's theme song, somebody called your mama. And they did a horrible job.
Starting point is 00:36:04 They tried to blame their ear pieces because they said, the music was off. We couldn't hear the music. And I was like, it don't matter. You can at least still sound good. They sounded horrible. Yeah, but yeah, this match, I mean, they went super hard on each other. CBS SportsCator to B minus, I ought to give it an A minus.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Yeah, I agree. I thought they went hell of hard. Of course, Bailey, she ended up winning. So, of course, she wasn't going to drop that belt just yet. But she was, again, her and Tiffany Stratton, beating the hell out of each other. And I was hoping that she would have pinned her, but she ended up pinning Naomi.
Starting point is 00:36:56 So, but I'm glad Naomi didn't have any hard feelings because they were hugging it out and all that. Yeah, but I don't want to see Bailey hugging it out at the end. She's got to. That's her girl. I mean, again, Naomi didn't need to be in this match, but I'm not mad that she was in it. Bailey, you should have kicked Naomi while she was down after you won. No, I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Again, I want her to stay healed, but we'll see what's happening. On to the next match, which was the World Heavyweight Championship match. What does he call himself now? It's something like El Champion or something. Yes. I was watching this video. I don't know where they were. I think it was
Starting point is 00:37:47 Puerto Rico there were like some kind of parade or something Oh with Zelina I think so He was he was March he was walking along Yeah the cameras were on him And there was a little girl
Starting point is 00:38:01 A little teenage girl off to the side We're wearing a Damien priest shirt And he went oh I get a picture with this So he jumped over all the rail and ran over there And they were all Screaming and about to cry And he took pictures with all them I thought that was really cool when they do that type of spa stuff.
Starting point is 00:38:19 I really love the Cody Rhodes videos, the ones when he's in the crowd pulling the little guys that are dressed like him. Yeah. For pictures or when they're outside. I guess it was a mom or her little son, and he was holding a Cody Road sign, and he came out after whatever event it was, and he was out there taking pictures and signing stuff for him.
Starting point is 00:38:43 So that's cool, man. I like that they do that. I mean, a lot of the events I went to, because I usually go outside after with everyone. Every now and then, someone would come out, but the last few times they come to Reno, they just get in their cars and drive off. Most we get is a hand-waving a horn honk as they drive by. All right, Damien Bree is taking on Jay Uso. Main event, Jay Uso.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Yeah, they... Even though he's not in the main event. They were hyped. They were hell of hype when he came out. Best entrance this year. That place went nuts. I still don't like the whole Yeat thing, but they were going off. He came through the crowd, which was cool, man.
Starting point is 00:39:33 I'm sure everyone that was there that enjoyed that to have him out there. And as hyped as everybody was, and it wasn't just the people that were around. him it was that whole arena stadium or wherever the hell this was everybody was hyped everyone was doing his little dance and all that did you see his interview after
Starting point is 00:39:53 when he was uh talking about the the reaction during his entrance no i missed all that he kind of got emotional because he said he knows the flashlight thing that's kind of like the fireflies and he kind of felt like
Starting point is 00:40:09 i was kind of paying homage to Bray Wyatt and he kind of made him feel like Bray was there with them. Yeah, oh, man. I see things, I mean, a lot of videos, Bray's always in it. Again, I've said this before, I wasn't really that big of fan of his when he first came out.
Starting point is 00:40:32 In WWE, I was more a fan of the fiend and all that because I just loved how he looked. And what's her name was a plus when she was all nuts. Alexa. Yeah. Where's she at? Does she just have a kid? Yeah, she had a kid and I think she had some injury or
Starting point is 00:40:52 condition or something. But they said she's supposed to be coming back because they're supposed to be doing the Wyatt 6 with Captain Howdy. All these little cryptic videos and codes
Starting point is 00:41:11 and stuff. I hated that match with Bray and, um... Oh, L.A. night? No. The Mountain Dew match? No, the one with John Cena and the... Oh, the Firefly Fun House? Yeah, I'm like, this is so stupid, but it was all during COVID.
Starting point is 00:41:29 We're lucky we got wrestling that whole time. They didn't drop the ball on nothing. They kept the party going for us. I'm interested to see what they do with Captain Howdy and Bo Dallas coming back as Captain Howdy because I guess they're going to carry on with Ray Wyatt's ideas and plans he came up with
Starting point is 00:41:53 with the storyline and his brother's involved so that's pretty cool no more bow leave I liked all that he just got a bow leave it was big in NXT they just kind of didn't do
Starting point is 00:42:12 nothing with it when they brought them up No, they didn't. I felt bad. And then he just, like, disappeared. Remember when he was on the B team? When he was a Ms. Lackey? Oh. Hey, man, you do what you got to do? Have a job.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Or wait, what was the other one? The antisocials or whatever? Yeah. Well, someone just dropped the ball on Damien Priest's entrance. He was at a, focus a little too long I've been watching it right now as he's coming out
Starting point is 00:42:50 I'm still not liking these little 3D graphics they add that only the TV viewers can see I heard that they're getting rid of them soon I hope so because I've never liked them because you notice I don't know if you noticed on Raw Smackdown like the stage and the screens are smaller now
Starting point is 00:43:13 yeah because I feel like they're going back to basics with everything and I think I read they're getting rid of the graphics because they're I think Triple H is making a lot of changes. The only thing I don't like that they've been doing lately is the flat entrances. I like when there's a stage and then they come out and walk down the ramp. I like that. Not the WrestleMania ramp that's like 10 miles long, but just a little small.
Starting point is 00:43:45 because I don't like these ones, especially the World War one when they're doing baseball stadiums now. You gotta run. Do a turn. Yeah, you got to run from my outfield all the way home from center field all the way home
Starting point is 00:43:59 and then turn. I don't like when they do that. Yeah, about time you get to the ring, it's time for the next person to come in. Yeah, are you jumping the ring and you're already huffing and puffing and they got to let them get thrown out. They keep doing my girl fall holler dirty. that was our truth's fault last time
Starting point is 00:44:17 oh man I was just waiting for her to just go in there and kick ass but nope nothing well she's going to be gone for for a while another one coming yeah pregnant
Starting point is 00:44:33 which is cool I mean she's doing her thing I mean I follow on all her socials and people are getting mad when they're out there doing what they're doing. I mean, it's it.
Starting point is 00:44:48 They're surviving off the land. I mean, they grow their own stuff and butcher their own meat. But I get it. I mean, not everyone eats meat. But I don't meet either. So don't bother me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:05 But, yeah, this match, it was good, but the crowd was there for main event, Jay. I mean, there was some, some people hyped for Damien, but no, man, nobody was all hot. They weren't as hyped when he was coming out. He kind of, like, just came out and just went straight to the ring. Jay had his moment in the crowd, and then once he got into the ring. But these guys both go hard, especially Damien Preci.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Do you think he's going to hold on in his belt for a while? He's losing that clash of the castle. yeah i i really don't think they're going to do um drew dirty twice at clash of the castle yeah i mean they did him dirty last time and did him dirty at russomania
Starting point is 00:46:07 yeah when is when was russlemania april early april so let's say if all of april april April, May, June. He hadn't even had barely had it three months. Yeah, I don't think he's going to keep it, but I don't think this is his last time as champion. Oh, no. Either Drew wins or something's going to happen to where they got to stop the match or whatever.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Or maybe... Maybe seeing Punk will come back. Yeah, I was about to say maybe he makes an appearance in Scotland. Yeah, maybe it's something will happen to where he'll lose
Starting point is 00:46:53 because of it. I mean, because we do see that, that CM Punk drew. That's going to happen eventually
Starting point is 00:47:00 soon as Punk. Yeah. That it's just saying it maybe maybe CM Punk does cost him another title and this sets up
Starting point is 00:47:11 seeing him drew maybe for SummerSlam or something like that. Yeah. Oh, Somersland, what, Cleveland? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:22 All right. You hear, I don't know if it's this year or next year, but I guess Triple A said SummerSlam's going to go to two days. Why not? Which probably means there are going to be more matches since it's going two days. I can see that. They don't ever have anything up there for you guys, like big. we get the house shows
Starting point is 00:47:46 WWE and that's it we don't ever get shit here you don't get no big pay per views
Starting point is 00:47:55 I mean the last time we had WWE around here and I guess it was in it was in Tahoe I missed it
Starting point is 00:48:07 because I came back from somewhere but I guess they did good because they were doing every time they came to Reno, they were there. And I was went.
Starting point is 00:48:19 And then Tahoe was a little further drive for me to drive up in the mountains to go up there. Yeah, we only get house shows. And it's the last house show I went to. Rick Flair was still wrestling for WWE. He needs, I was one, I finally got to see that whole, that was the last match or whatever because I was just seeing all the clips
Starting point is 00:48:49 I was so scared for him watching that whole match Yeah I was like Ooh You got nothing to prove But then I watched that Was it flight from hell Or whatever that one was
Starting point is 00:49:05 And then I'm like I don't know I mean It was all bad on that flight You guys haven't seen that episode so the dark side of the ring uh yeah i think it was the flight from hell check that one out but most of you probably already know that story but hearing it from the flight attendant i was like ooh yeah he's been uh i don't know if you caught his uh video that came out of him
Starting point is 00:49:35 cussing somebody out at some restaurant bar trying to fight them oh yeah i did see that yeah and he telling him how much money he spends there and they're like sir we don't care you're you're you're you're swearing at people and you need to leave well i don't know man i don't know how old he is but he didn't get knocked out quick by somebody talking to the wrong person and get knocked out but we'll see but again this match man they went hard they were in and out the ring both of them uh fly in and out the ring And it wasn't just like a one-sided where Damien Priest was kicking ass the whole time and went back and forth. So that's what I liked about it.
Starting point is 00:50:27 But the crowd was there for Jay and all the chanting and everything they were doing for them. Obviously hyped up. And then until dumbass J.D. McDonough jumped into it. Oh, that guy's got a large head, man. I never really noticed it until Michael Cole started bringing it up. Well, I can't talk. I got a big head too, but I just don't like him. That's all.
Starting point is 00:51:05 There's a few people that got J.D. McDonough's head. He's just a lackey. One of my buddies, we were watching it at work one time, and he goes, is that guy a dwarf? I was like, what? He goes, he's got a big head. I said, no, he's not. Oh, okay. I wasn't sure.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Oh, man. I mean, he is he is hell is short. He is hell of short with a big head. Well, I'm short with a big head. That's not with J.D.J.D. McDonough. Yeah, because he's laying out inside of the ring dead. And Jimmy came off the top with a big splice. You mean Jay?
Starting point is 00:51:50 Oh, Jay, I'm sorry. Jimmy ain't jumping off nothing now. Uh-uh. I still feel for their knees, because when they, their knees take the most impact. And then when they come down, like, you can't just land flat on top of someone. You can break someone's ribs.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Surprise and I ain't broke anyone's. And these gals. We'll talk about next pay-per-view. What she did, the liar, what is it, Laira Valkyrie? I thought she was okay I thought she died I heard that spot wasn't supposed to happen like that she needs to
Starting point is 00:52:26 catch it a little or something yeah because I think we talked about it when she first came back and she gave one to Ria yeah she gave Ria the extra that broke her chest plate or something man yeah because that don't look like it it feels good coming down that hard
Starting point is 00:52:48 depending on who you are i mean i'm down but i don't know i don't think i'd want her to jump down off the second rope onto my chest i'm just saying there might be some men out there that just like or women you know whichever way yeah i mean but i'm i'm down but i don't think i got i'm not enough man to take all that on my chest uh because she it's not like she just drops she like jumps and then comes down and I'm like and they're like they're not they don't have their arms up it's just and I'm sure your chest well yeah your chest bone probably touches your back I don't know how much she weighs but that's a big gal and oh man it's gonna blow up your lungs or something and Lyra she's she's a small woman herself
Starting point is 00:53:48 yeah but what's that move when damien piece picks you up uh chokes slams you no um something cross i think when he oh the the razor's edge yeah razor's edge yeah when he does that he just did that to to jank he kicked out i mean that move looked like it's hurting yeah jd's dumb ass is still laying their face down Ben ain't came out yet No not yet He's still Doing it I think he comes out right here
Starting point is 00:54:29 And Damien was getting ready to Do his business And then he Finn Ballard comes running out So but yeah He comes in But he got worked quick Because that's when Jay
Starting point is 00:54:42 Climed up to the To the top rope You can see he even Let me rewind it He gets to the top Jay and he looks under his arm to see where Finn's at because that's what Finn comes running in. And then he's about to jump in the ring and Jay super kicks in and he goes falling out. And then he runs to go after Damien, but Damien comes out with a little sloppy clothesline.
Starting point is 00:55:13 And then Jay goes down and then he picks him up with a choke slam. And that was it right there. I said, Jay's dead. He's just going to lay there. One, two. Oh, he kicked out. I thought that was it right here. See again, these ladies and gentlemen, this happened months ago.
Starting point is 00:55:29 We're just now getting to it. Oh, yeah, there's the hydration station. They put it back together. Oh, man. Speaking of that, I went to the doctor from my cough. And my doctor was like, how much water do you drink? I just mainly drink water when I'm at work because it's hot. She goes, all right, well, I think you need more electrolytes, so go drink some prime or Gatorade or whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:56:00 So you had a brand deal or something? I don't know. I said, I'll drink prime, but I said, I'm trying to find the ones with no sugar. She goes, there's a Gatorade one that I started drinking the G0 or whatever. her. She goes, well, whatever it is. We got to drink PDLI, drink that. I'm like, ooh, no, thank you. I don't know. For as long as that product's been out, make it taste good.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Because every time I got to give it to the kids, they're like, I'm about to throw up. And I feel them. I took a drink one time. I was like, ooh, it tastes worse than the cough medicine. Yeah, Jay was about to. Penn Damien and then dumbass JD jumped up. Came back to life just in time to put Damien's foot on the bottom rope.
Starting point is 00:56:54 But then they're all laying there dead. Gee, Finn didn't even get up yet. He's still laying there on the other side of the ring. He wasn't got kicked hell hard. So, but everyone's booing the shit out of J.D. McDonough. I don't know what they're saying. They're saying something in French, but... Probably talking about his head.
Starting point is 00:57:13 they're all pointing at him and giving them the thumbs down all right damien came back or uh fin baller came back to life he jumped up but then uh jay bounces off d d mcdonner and slams out of the ring onto jd mcdonner and slams his big head onto the ground uh he's got that big um patch on his or uh band-aid or whatever on his head I can't remember what happened to him. But yeah, once Jay jumps up, Finn Ballard comes running around the ring, and then Jay runs up and spears Finn Baller hella hard. And then he climbs back up to the top. Damien Prez is coming back to life.
Starting point is 00:57:59 He comes bouncing off the, or Damien bounces off the rope, makes Jay fall, hits him between the legs. They're huffing and puffing, both of them. You can see. how tired they are. But then Damien picks up Jay Usso and gives them a sloppy choke slam off the, I think of the second rope.
Starting point is 00:58:22 And one, two, three, that's it. They both were like, oh, you see J.D. McDonough in the background holding himself up, barely holding his ribs. It looked like he slimmed his head a little hard too when Jay jumped out. But yeah, these guys went hard, man, because usually the winner's like up and moving around and excited but they're both laying there
Starting point is 00:58:47 and uh jay can't even roll out of the ring usually when the losers lose they go rolling out of the ring really quick this is when i knew something was going to happen because jd and fin baller jump in and they start beating the hell out of uh jay but then fucking damien turns around this i think this is the beginning of the end for the judgment judgment day because he throws JD off and he pushes Finn Baller off and now they're arguing. Doesn't he grab like Finn by his jaw? Yeah, he grabbed him by the jaw. No, we're, we're fighting.
Starting point is 00:59:23 We're fighting. You can grab me by my mouth. JD, all right, I expected, but not Finn Baller. But like I've always said this, every team comes to an end. I mean, Hardy Boys had to fight one another. at some point. Yeah, because they're doing this. Damien keeps saying
Starting point is 00:59:46 he doesn't need the Judgment Day to help him. And then you got the whole Dominate Liv Morgan thing. So, yeah, their judgment day is coming to end soon. Yeah, I think at some point, Finn Ballard and Damien Priest
Starting point is 01:00:06 are going to go at it. And I think, I think they're also doing this thing where they're trying to bring in Carlito? Yeah, he's been popping up a lot. Damien's just like, nah, we ain't accepting no new members. That was our role.
Starting point is 01:00:27 When Dirty Dom was like, yeah, man, she just gave me her room key. And Carlita was looking at it like, all right, cool. then jay i mean fin started talking no they were all like no now we we all got to stick together or whatever the hell he was saying but while they were all hyping each other up fin baller slides his hand in there and gets that room key a six in his pocket so he's trying to block but uh cvus sports gave this match a b i ought to give it an a because i liked what was going on in this whole thing
Starting point is 01:01:03 but all right the next one uh of the night. Oh, yeah. It was a waste. Um, WWE women's tag team championship, the Kubuki Warriors, Oscar and Kyrie Singh, taking on the EST, Bianca Bel Air, and Jade Cargo.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Um, I'll give you the rating right now. They gave it a C plus, or a C minus. I give it a half. I'll probably just give it a D minus, but Kari's saying, I don't know what world she was in in this match.
Starting point is 01:01:37 But there was times when she was like trying to go for moves and she wasn't a legal person and the ref is clearly in front of the camera telling her like you're not supposed to be in right now. And then she's trying to play it off. And then Jade, how am I going to put this nicely? She's going to, she's a star.
Starting point is 01:02:01 That's why she didn't need to go to NXT. She's a star now. But she's very limited on her wrestling. and she was in the ring too damn much in this in this match and it showed a lot yeah i mean she could be battling on her own i mean but as bianca bellair i mean she don't she don't need a partner either again at some point these two are going to go at it they're going to battle and then at some point Naomi's going to get into the mix or we can get some uh fatal three-way action at some point between them but I mean this match it's cool it's cool that
Starting point is 01:02:47 the tag teaming up and they should they I don't know they they did one cool like tag team move in here where she kind of dropped I think it was a carrie sane J like dropped her down and Bianca like springboarded her off and they into like a back suplex They should be doing more stuff like that, but it's just clear. I don't know. I feel like this tag team was just put together just to hide Jade's, like, inexperience in the ring. She's not the greatest.
Starting point is 01:03:29 I mean, she is strong, though. She's like good, like in shape. And she's flexing and everything. I mean, you think, you thought Bianca was strong. Yeah, I don't know. Jade might be a little stronger, but Bianca is definitely the better in ring. Yeah. So we'll see.
Starting point is 01:03:57 I still don't like the hair. I never liked it. But I think it'd just be more of a distraction. But we all know it's just extensions and she only does it in the ring. it's not going anywhere until they have some sort of story angle where somebody cuts it off in the ring yeah but kairie man yeah i love her but yeah she was a little extra in this one and it was like no no contest i mean putting her when she was in the in the ring going up against jade jays like at least a foot taller than her and way stronger
Starting point is 01:04:40 than her and she was just throwing her all over the ring. I felt sorry for Kyrie. Yeah, and do you remember when Oscar used to be a killer? Yeah. What happened to that Oscar? I don't know, I can say that about
Starting point is 01:04:56 a lot of wrestlers, but yeah, Aska's had the belt a few times, but I just, sometimes I feel like they're just, they're just wasting her. She's injured now. I think she's going to be out for a while.
Starting point is 01:05:16 I think she just had knee surgery. Yeah, just go back home and just relax. When you feel better, come back. So, but, yeah, they threw Kyrie around like a little rag doll in this one. Because they were doing her dirty with the double teams. They just threw her in there hella high and they just slammed her on her back. Yeah, I don't know. It was weird because they never, the Kabuki Warriors never felt like they were champions in this match.
Starting point is 01:05:48 No-uh. It's like they just came in and got the hell beaten out of them. It might as well just as soon as the bell rang, just handed the belts over. Yeah, because this was just a showcase for these two of gals to just throw them all everywhere. Because not at one point. I mean, again, Kyrie Stain and Oscar Amazing in the room. ring, but they didn't do anything spectacular, like they usually
Starting point is 01:06:14 do. Because I don't know, maybe it's just how they're writing the story. And why did what's her name not come out with them? Dakota. Yeah, she like, when they came out, they're doing
Starting point is 01:06:32 their entrance, like she walked out with them and then she just stopped and pointed to them as they're walking up the aisle and then went back. no idea if I said don't go to the ring stay out there
Starting point is 01:06:47 Bianca looked like she hurt her knee when she jumped out of the ring she always looks like she hurt she always looks like she hurt her knee I don't know if Kyrie's lipstick got all over her mouth or is she bleeding
Starting point is 01:07:00 because her tongue looks yellow red she's so weird I like her now I didn't I mean I thought she was cute and everything with a little pirate gimmick but bring bring that back no i don't like i like this now you didn't like when she had the little pirate ship steering wheel and no you're always saluting i was like come on because when she came back was it uh russomania or one of these ones when she came back and she was looking like this
Starting point is 01:07:31 i'm like ah yeah that's what i want i don't like the little pirate you don't like when she walks the plank before she like does her move when she runs to the corner No. The little saluting. Yeah. No, I don't like that. I like what's happening now. Carrey, bring, bring it all back.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Bring back to the pirate hat and all that stuff. No, she came out smiling and saluting. No, I didn't like it. Didn't she even used to have like a little telescope? Yeah, she had the whole thing. The only thing missing was the boat. Yeah, steering. Oh, bring that give me back for WrestleMania.
Starting point is 01:08:10 they can afford to have come out like a boat oh I don't like it but yeah man again I mean they they were shining Oscar and Kyrie were shining for a little bit but not as much because they were beating the hell out of Bianca she was getting roughed up and everything again the crowd hell hyped chanting stuff I couldn't understand but I loved that
Starting point is 01:08:40 I loved every minute of it. But, yeah. I mean, again, this match, I don't know what was happening. And yeah, like you said, that Kyrie wasn't the legal person in the ring. She was just jumping in. So I don't know. I don't know what was going on. It was weird, because if I'm remembering correctly, like, he's, the refs telling her,
Starting point is 01:09:03 you're not supposed to be in the ring. And then she, like, is in the middle of putting a. thing jade in the arm bar and the ref's like you're not supposed to be in and then jade gives her her arm anyways and she tries to arm bar her and then the ref's like no you're not supposed to be in and then she
Starting point is 01:09:21 just lets go this is weird yeah I mean I don't think I don't know he's just to showcase jade more than than anyone but I don't know I don't think they needed that they didn't need to
Starting point is 01:09:42 to do this one. But I mean, Jay lover or hate her sometimes she goes a little too hard. Especially because she just picked up Kari Sane and slammed her down hella hard.
Starting point is 01:09:58 I mean, I don't like when any wrestler lands on their back because I don't care how strong your neck is, man. Your head's still going to whip the ring. Yeah, I'm trying to look up. I think she's only She's only been wrestling for like four or five years.
Starting point is 01:10:17 She's only been, she's only, she started training to be a wrestling in 2018. How long was she in AEW? AEW, 2020, 2020, 2003, three years. Okay. So she's only been, she hasn't barely been wrestling professionally for maybe four or five years. So she's new. Well, she just. Keeps practicing.
Starting point is 01:10:48 Well, that was no good. They were beating up Jade, and then she kind of stumbled and looked behind her to make sure that whoever was coming at her, so she could be get ready. But he was, Kari almost kicked off her, uh, jade's top. Because Jay grabbed them quick.
Starting point is 01:11:09 She looked like she, she hit it. They were like, you were the broke, but they would have came out. But yeah, man, she got them. beating the hell a little
Starting point is 01:11:18 Kyrie. And I didn't want the Kabuki Warriors to lose, but how long do they have the belt? It wasn't that long, was it? No. A few months.
Starting point is 01:11:35 I would have had them keeping the belt. I would have started I would have had Jane and Bianca, losing this match and this would have been the start of their feud. Yeah. And then we would have
Starting point is 01:11:48 worked their match up to WrestleMania. Because at the end of this, they had Jade in the middle, and Oscar and Kyrie were just beating the hell out of her. But then Jade came back, and she super kicked. Oscar, and then Kyrie tried to jump off off the top road. Jade caught her, caught her on his shoulders, and then just that one move when she locks her in place in front, and then slams her down, face first. Kyrie's little cute little face Hit the Matt Hello hard
Starting point is 01:12:23 And then Bianca jumps in And attitude adjustments Oscar on top of Kyrie and then This is when she pins Oscar And Jade and The EST are the New champs
Starting point is 01:12:39 See they should have This should have did something more Dominate like she should have Did a Roman and just stacked them And pinned them both yeah I mean these girls gals Kyrie's still laying in the middle
Starting point is 01:12:54 not even moving and these two these two well I mean out of the the pay-per-view the whole thing this is it wasn't the best uh C-minus is what they gave it and yeah okay felt like a pre-show match
Starting point is 01:13:11 yeah it could have been a dark match or something but next one undisputed WWE Championship the American Nightmare Cody Rose taking on the phenomenal AJ styles for the main event I thought just pay review or what they whatever they call it now went hella fast
Starting point is 01:13:30 yeah so it was like okay one nice thing you know it was the main event and it was over AJ I love him but I know Cody's on his high and awesome awesome everyone's singing and even when his music stops they're still singing
Starting point is 01:13:51 and everyone was hyped so I mean I love Cody's entrance I was watching some highlights of his career and how much everyone hated him my I think I seen I might have seen one of the same videos
Starting point is 01:14:08 you did because my daughter my daughter wants him to bring back dashing Cody Rhodes I didn't like that Because I was breaking down Baby faces and heels to her What the meaning is And then she's seen dashing Cody Rhodes
Starting point is 01:14:24 And I told her he used to He's put paper bags on people's heads In the crowd because it was ugly She was like He needs to ditch the blonde hair And bring back that Oh yeah What of our buddies wants
Starting point is 01:14:37 Once that And Cody's mustache and everything all over Yeah Have you seen his heel work when he first left WWE? Yeah. He needs to bring that back. I want Star Dust. Just
Starting point is 01:14:53 making an appearance for whatever reason. I don't think that'll ever happen. It was goofy and I want those figures but I'm not about to pay that price. I think that first Roman WrestleMania match when he did the cartwheel
Starting point is 01:15:09 and then threw up the star. I think that's the only time we'll ever see Star dust. that was awesome though because i went yeah i was just a crowd pleasing any you high rollers that are listening um i want both of those uh star dust figures the regular one and the chase
Starting point is 01:15:33 so or the variant whatever you call it uh yeah just send it here but um i love on just how hyped everybody is And they obviously give Cody all the time in the world to come to the ring to hug and kiss babies and And everything so but what did you think of this match in the hole? I thought it was a great match. I thought everybody they both came and did what they needed to do AJ since he's came back from injury. He looks in great shape He was busting out some moves that I haven't seen him do before for what I know what I understand like One of them, I think they called it the Burning Hammer.
Starting point is 01:16:17 I guess that was a New Japan move. So he was busting out moves like that. But we all knew what the finish was going to be. Cody's going to have the spell for a while. Oh, yeah, the crowd is hooting and hollering. I don't know what they're saying. They're singing and dancing. But they're jumping up and down so hard.
Starting point is 01:16:43 The side where the camera is. Yeah. The camera was shaking. So, I mean, again, I mean, how often we never see that in America. I mean, we get hyped, but not as hyped as other countries in the world every time I have something over there. I just realize how Jessica's in this, I ref in this match. I follow her and she put up a picture of her and Cody Rhodes when, uh, she wasn't even working for
Starting point is 01:17:17 WWE so she's been all about wrestling since she was a kid Yeah she used to be a wrestler Yeah So but yeah she's she I love those pigeons she was a big girl too So but
Starting point is 01:17:33 She got in shape and she got a good job I mean Yeah I see her Workout photos Yeah I still love the stunner she did To what's his nuts Sammy
Starting point is 01:17:45 She needs to do it again for whatever reason. Well, not to Sammy. She got to pick someone else. Do it to fucking J.D. McDonough or whatever. I hate him. I don't know if she can grab onto that head. She can knock herself out. Hitting his head.
Starting point is 01:18:04 But yeah, this match, man, they went really hard. Both of them. I mean, both of them, of course, they don't call him phenomenal A.J. Stiles for nothing. He's awesome. I do feel that time that they waste him. But I don't know. I mean, Cody's hot. He's on fire right now.
Starting point is 01:18:24 And I see him holding on to this belt for a while. And I know Roma's going to come back and we're going to have some more matches between them. But I don't know. I don't think Roman should be the one to take it from Cody. If anything, let Cody hold on to it for a long time. then I don't know who would you think
Starting point is 01:18:49 could take it from him and you'd be all right with it nobody knew that that's my opinion I don't oh my gosh if Jay can keep the same momentum
Starting point is 01:19:03 that he has now I can see Jay as champion but I I feel like they're going to end of putting it back
Starting point is 01:19:14 with Jimmy that would make jay the heel because i don't think cody would be the heel unless unless they do a face versus face yeah that's fine but let it how many what roman had it for years so all right here just did the star He did the Star Dust to AJ. AJ's later sitting in the corner. The camera zoomed in and you can clearly see his lips, you motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Oh, man. Yeah. Okay, I'm listening to the crowd. They're all screaming Stardust. I think. Sounds like it. Again, man, these guys are so hyped and so loud. which I loved a million times.
Starting point is 01:20:20 But, I mean, these two, AJ and Cody, I mean, you knew it was going to be a hard match for both of them. They're not going to go in there and pussyfoot it in the ring. They're going to do what they got to do to give everybody a good show. But obviously, the crowd was with Cody because AJ kept turning to the crowd and getting mad and, I don't know, saying profanity, but we can't hear them.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Sometimes you can't hear them say the cuss words. I know they weren't they bleeped out the rock and everything, but they're bleeping out what's her name on NXT Battleground? The sexy red. Did I see that match?
Starting point is 01:21:05 No, she was the host. Oh, oh, okay. The one that was twerking all over the place. Yeah. And she was cussing on the mic. Is this the cuss era now? I mean, there's always been cussing, but. Well, start next year, Rawl's going to be on Netflix.
Starting point is 01:21:28 That's what one of my friends was saying, because her son and her nephew, they watched the wrestling. And when Rock came back and he was cussing up a storm and everything, she was like, I didn't like that he was doing that. I said, well, it was Hill Rock. He had to. Yeah, they beeped it out. Yeah, I said, he goes, he didn't need to cuss. I said, well, get ready. It's going to Netflix. Well, it's his company.
Starting point is 01:21:54 If you asked the rock, he's the final boss. Yep. I love that. Man, I wish you just had a good final boss shirt. The one they have is weak because I wanted one. So he said, I'm the final boss. I went straight on there to see what the shirt looked like, and it was weak. I was like, oh, man, he ain't paying $40 for that shit.
Starting point is 01:22:15 But, I mean, I thought Cody got hurt at some point in this because one of those moves the AJ did on him. He key. AJ grabbed Cody's arm and then just kind of went backwards and basically AJ landed on his back and Cody went face first. But the way he was holding his arm, it looked like it tweaked it up a little, but I don't know. We'll see. He looks like he's doing all right because now he's grabbing that same arm and bending it
Starting point is 01:22:49 behind his back. I still need to get that that pop of Cody when he's got the the big bruise on the shoulder on the peck. Yeah. I'm glad they made that. I haven't seen it anyway. Speaking of pops, I finally fucking got my Rio Ripley pop that I ordered last year. I ordered it, I think like November.
Starting point is 01:23:15 And there's ordered me Entertainment Earth. they'd be changing they'd be changing their dates it it took it kept going oh you'll get it in December you'll get it in January you get it in fit they kept sending me emails and then I got an email your card is no good and I was like what it was my old bank card yeah I've ordered I've pre-ordered stuff from them and they took so long to get it and ship it out that my card had expired and got a new car yeah I was like shit because I if you don't answer in the next few days we're just gonna cancel the order I'm like see bitch you're lucky I didn't cancel it last year when I ordered it but I wanted
Starting point is 01:24:13 this man because the funco website wasn't selling it and I've never seen it in the stores and then I finally got it. So now watch me start seeing them in the stores. She needs to make another one because she got short hair here. Now her hair is long, black, and luscious, and I love it. Buddy, your lucky man. But back to the action, yeah, Cody's baby in that arm that he was hurting. So maybe he wasn't that big of a, it was planned.
Starting point is 01:24:50 But yeah, they fell out. out into the ring and AJ slamming Cody all over to the desk and weak ass, Corey Graves pusses out all the time and jumps up. Oh, what are my friends? He was like, why do you hate him so much? I said, he's a fucking bitch.
Starting point is 01:25:07 Couldn't do shit when he was in the ring. And she goes, this sounds like he's just a hater. And he goes, wait a minute. Is it because of his wife? I went, that's a little too. But I don't know everyone. I just never liked him. period.
Starting point is 01:25:21 They probably beat me up, but... You don't really hate him when he comes back to wrestling, because I heard he's cleared now. Oh, fuck that. I want him to come back and everyone beat him up. Or they're going to pus out and give him a belt. Fuck that. Beat the hell out of him.
Starting point is 01:25:36 That's how I was hoping someone would slam him around. It's something. No one's attacked him yet. But now that he's clear, someone better attack him and put him to the table. But I don't know. We'll see. yeah these guys man they were going hard too because they were huffing and puffing by the end and uh j was i looked like he got hurt a little too as well when they fell out into the ring and uh they were slamming up
Starting point is 01:26:03 into the uh the announce tables i still hate when they dive out of the ring on the announced table side because i'm always scared man that tables got a that's not metal but uh let's say aluminum edges and those points to it and they come at them so so hard I mean who was it there was a ricochet who jumped off and six stomach yeah it was like recently yeah and he slammed onto the to the to the to the announce table Cody's got uh AJ up in the corner looks like he's about to give him a superplex uh no he's not on the top top he's on on the second but he's holding up AJ and AJ's
Starting point is 01:26:54 about to kick his feet up but then he jumps down and they both fall off. Cody slammed on his back alarm. Jessica, I love you man, but ease up on that eye shadow. It's a little too much there. She got to the camera
Starting point is 01:27:09 close. All right now AJ has Cody up on his shoulders and then jumps backwards and throws Cody and he hits the mat. Any of you friends speakers if someone want to drop a list of what everybody was chanting? I know I found it on a website, but I can't find it anymore. Yeah, these guys are going for it.
Starting point is 01:27:39 AJ tried to do a moonsault off the, excuse me, second rope, and then Cody brought up the knees, but it looks like AJ went a little too far because he just hit his feet. but yeah they're going hard crowd going nuts can't even hear dumbass Corey and Michael Cole I was watching this other video
Starting point is 01:28:03 about Michael Cole like all his highlights from last year he was all hyped at everything I mean the biggest one for me is when punk came back on how Corey was just standing and with his arms crossed
Starting point is 01:28:19 and Michael Cole was dancing and fist pumping and everything but later we saw that video he was right over there holding Seth back so he got his guys man what is he not a punk fan I guess not
Starting point is 01:28:39 I don't know I don't know the man I don't know punk but from what all these guys are now they're acting and not just these guys everyone saying that how much of a dick he is. I met him twice. He was cool with me. So I don't know. I don't have to work for him or work with him. So I don't know. I mean, he's going to be a little bit of a dick.
Starting point is 01:29:00 I mean, he calls himself the best in the world. Well, we'll see when he comes back. But I don't even remember how this one end. Well, they do go back out to the outside. because is it Cody who picks up AJ and slams him through the table? Let me see. I can't remember. Someone goes crashing through the announced table.
Starting point is 01:29:32 Did I miss it? All right here. All right. Let me go back a little. Okay, AJ's in the ring. He's about to jump on Cody, but then Cody picks him up. And then slams him through the French announced table. he hit his back hard, but he landed flat on it.
Starting point is 01:29:54 And I love when they clear the table, but there's times where they just say, F it and throw it and slam on everything, the monitors, all that. I always just thought it makes no sense for them. I mean, it makes sense for the equipment not to get broken. That's why they do it, but it just makes no sense.
Starting point is 01:30:19 sense if you're going to put someone through the table why would you make sure all the equipment's off so they don't get hurt well now those guys got to stand but the um hydration station is still standing i mean some of the bottles got knocked out because half of the uh the announced table hit it it knocked it over so they're both laying on the outside of the ring slowly climbing up
Starting point is 01:30:49 and everyone's counting but they're counting in France which was awesome but they make it back in the ring just in time to start going at it again but yeah getting to to the end I mean
Starting point is 01:31:03 AJ was starting to come back because he was whooping the shit out of Corey or Corey um Cody sorry man disrespected Cody the American nightmare but he is kicking Cody hell hard and everyone was getting he was getting hype but then Cody jumped up and gave him the
Starting point is 01:31:21 Cody cutter but nope AJ kicks out and they were still going hell of hard so I again I knew AJ wasn't going to win but I don't know man I mean I love it I mean I love both of them but I think I would lean more towards towards AJ styles I've always loved his performance his performance in the ring and Cody I didn't care for him in the beginning that did when Star Dust came around I thought that was cool but then he disappeared but when he went to AEW and was getting all that going I was like okay left and got to get still got to feed the family and everything and then and how much he he was getting he was just awesome there I was like all right cool and then of course I was happy when he
Starting point is 01:32:16 came back and now he deserved the to win at WrestleMania which was an awesome ending with when all that the whole melee thing happened in it but I think I loved AJ like right from the get-go you ever watch some of his stuff in TNA? Yeah yeah all the stuff man even when he had the short hair and no mustache and all that yeah he was still badass yeah even when he uh
Starting point is 01:32:46 Bullet Club in New Japan When he was doing all that Speaking of the Bullet Club The O.C. or whatever the hell you want to call him. The original club. Is that what the O.C. stands for? Yeah. That was kind of pointless
Starting point is 01:33:04 and battleground NXT. You got to pay him to do something. I know. Stand in the bag of eating craft services. you put these two guys that are a hot run and I was like really
Starting point is 01:33:21 we know they're not going to win but I don't know whatever they are still working let them do what they got to do but I never cared for them anyway but I don't know I'm glad that AJ's not running around them anymore
Starting point is 01:33:38 ooh top rope Cody cutter right in the middle Cody's getting hyped up I did love the whole Omas and AJ run. I liked all that. It was goofy and pointless, but you got to do something with
Starting point is 01:33:55 Omas. But Cody's getting hyped up. Everyone's on their feet screaming. Got AJ Crossroads. AJ just looks. He's dizzy. Only gave him one crossroads at the end and then pinned him.
Starting point is 01:34:13 and everybody was hyped. They're both laying there huffing and puffing hell hard and some lady in the front row crying, which is cool. I love when I see fans like that get emotional because everybody was crying at WrestleMania, even at home. I wasn't in tears,
Starting point is 01:34:30 but I was feeling it. I felt that big lump in my throat. But this match was good, man. What did they give it? They gave it an A-minus. No, I only gave it just a rinket. regular A. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:47 But yeah, everyone's singing, hooting and hollering, everything, yeah. So, but it was a good mass. I just didn't care for the one before this one. That should have been the first match just to get it over with. But overall, it was still a good time. Everyone beating the hell out of each other. And the French crowd just giving it that extra. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:12 I mean, it's awesome. awesome one shaking the camera shaking the walls everything couldn't even hear nobody but still don't know what they were saying but it was still amazing i loved it so but yeah anything else for this one i think that's it all right oh who are going to make this one big episode but we've been a not so but all right everyone that's going to be we'll be back uh in a minute with um was it King and queen of the ring.
