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 Crown Jewel, 2021. Did we need another one? No, but a lot of money flowing through. A lot of money. Nez. Before we get into, before we get into the matches, what did you, what did you think? I've said this before when they take it over.
Starting point is 00:00:36 to Saudi Arabia, the the W.W.E. universe over there is hyped. What, this is the third time they've done it? I don't even, do they take their live shows over there? Or does W.W.E. India have something going on
Starting point is 00:00:53 over there? I couldn't honestly tell you. Because for the longest, what's the one do, the one from Saudi Arabia to be a super Marsura?
Starting point is 00:01:09 Yeah. Like, I barely see him. I didn't even know he was on that 205 live. Yeah, they've been him and Mustafa Ali been doing their thing. Oh, God. That guy's the next big show. That guy, that guy is a heel or face. Like, he just keeps flip-flopping.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Who? Mustafa Ali, which I'm surprised he's Mustafa Ali, because, you know, they always got to shorten it out. I'm glad he's back to. to that name. I didn't like it when he was just Ollie. Yeah. But again, the crowd was hyped. You could see
Starting point is 00:01:45 it. I mean, they kept showing those little kids and all those little kids were super hyped. Even the people way in the back, they were loud. So I thought that was really cool. I think this was the loudest one. Yeah, I didn't see the
Starting point is 00:02:01 opening match with who was it Usos and hurt business? I skipped that one too Yeah I didn't see it So But I love it
Starting point is 00:02:14 When they when they have it over there It was hot It was like mid 80s So it wasn't like I think it was like 90 something The last time they did it there When Undertaker Well no Goldberg almost killed Undertaker
Starting point is 00:02:28 Um And I don't know I mean no disrespect to the country and everything in love, but I don't understand the, uh, why they have the women have to be covered up,
Starting point is 00:02:45 like pretty much. I mean, your heads can be out, but all the skin needs to be covered. It's a culture thing. Because, um, even the,
Starting point is 00:02:54 uh, the ref in the first match, um, I can't remember her name. I want to say Jessica, but I, I think it's, they have them,
Starting point is 00:03:02 they better throw on the long sleeve underneath the ref shirt. Yeah. She had the long, sleeves on and uh i was like damn so because first i was thinking is it cold i was watching this live uh thursday morning uh and i just got on as syria what was the temperature and and rhod and she's always like 85 or 86 or something like that to me that's hot but uh i guess it was better than 98 uh the last time so at first i thought um was this the place they had the last one at this one looks smaller yeah i was going to ask you because i i felt like the ring
Starting point is 00:03:44 was a little bit smaller because i mean i remember when they had it in there you couldn't even see the back the the the crowd around it in the back but they seemed like they were up closer so i don't know but but when the cameras went outside it looked like a huge stadium and it was open so But I mean, but overall, did we need it? No. But, I mean, I'm thinking of the people over there in Riyadh. I mean, it was good for them. I mean, they were hyped.
Starting point is 00:04:19 The crowd was there. I'm not sure if it was a sold-out crowd, but it was, I don't know. When they show the floor, the seating is weird. I mean, you got people on both sides of the ramp for the stage. and then the camera side, and I don't know how many people were on the sides with the cameras, but there was a lot of people there. So I thought that was really cool.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I do notice that when they have these pay-per-views and the raws and smackdowns and all that here in America, this is what my friend said. I don't know how true it is. They said, if you're wearing rival company shirts, they won't let you in. I don't know if that's true or not. but I did catch someone on there with a CM Punk shirt and the camera went to him and I think
Starting point is 00:05:09 they cut away when they realized it but yeah the camera went to him and then they got on the the earpiece it was like he was like row seven seat five get them so but I mean again overall I mean the crowd is was getting me hype because yeah they were loud so at times I was thinking I think is this a recording just trying to get everyone hyped up I felt like it was genuine I felt like they were
Starting point is 00:05:40 just bands and they're getting to see that's why I kind of even though I don't like it I kind of understand why they bring somebody like Goldberg or the Undertaker because you know they have not really gotten a chance
Starting point is 00:05:56 to like see these superstars so I think all the chanting and the noise and everything, I think it was genuine. Yeah, because during the first match, I was kind of like, I was looking at the crowd, and no one in the front was doing. There might have been one or two, but as the show went on,
Starting point is 00:06:18 you could see everybody that was like way in the back and the cameras were really shining up on them. And now they were all chanting and all that. And I mean, because during this first match, they just kept chanting that, You suck, you suck every time Seth Rawls was doing something. I mean, Edge had the crowd because everyone had the rated our superstar signs and one guy. I'm here for the for Edge and all that.
Starting point is 00:06:41 So I thought that was really cool. I don't know the mask situation there, but I saw a lot of masks at this pay-review. So here in America, some think it's not a thing, but at least over there. I mean, there was a lot of guys that didn't have masks, but the majority of the crowd they kept showing on. But did they have their mask on right? No, but they had it on. A lot of little kids had them on.
Starting point is 00:07:08 So I was like, all right, cool, right. All right. They're taking this serious. But overall, the whole thing as a whole, well, again, did we need it? No. And it was basically all the matches we've seen before. Yeah. basically to me some of the matches was like summer slam all over again well i i was
Starting point is 00:07:34 pleasantly surprised because i didn't even know about the hell in the cell match until until it came on i was like oh shit okay you guys are and you're giving it to the first match i was like okay and the whole uh king of the ring king and queen of the ring oh i love the outcomes i don't i don't know i don't know if they'll do them right, but I'm, we'll get to it. I'm totally 100% satisfied with who won. I wasn't with one of them, but we'll get to that. But I, this is what, four hours? Because I know it was nine o'clock and it was like pushing one. It was almost over. And it was like almost midnight over there when this was over with. Because I was like, damn, because when it was
Starting point is 00:08:26 got to the end, I asked Siri what time it was over there, and it was like 11-something, and they were still going with the last match. I was like, whoa, but hey, everyone was having a good time. It is weird when it's live Thursday morning at 9 a.m. for us on the West Coast, but it was still cool. Did you watch this live? I started to, but then I was, I keep weird hours, so I was like, I need to get some sleep. So I had to break it up. in like two watchings. Yeah, so, but, um, yeah, I mean, it was what it was. I mean, I was hooting and hollering and my grandson was sitting here watching it with me,
Starting point is 00:09:08 but, uh, I think the only time he was really started watching is when the fireworks and all that were going off. Other than that, he didn't care. Um, it was only one of my grandsons was here. If both of women here, that's when they get hyped up and start tackling each other, but no. Is your, uh, your oldest one ever? favorite wrestler or is he not there yet?
Starting point is 00:09:29 He's not there yet. I mean, he'll watch it with me, but then he'll get bored really quick. He'll break out his little figures in his ring and start playing with him instead of watching. Teaching a boo, Sasha. Speaking of wrestling figures, I just bought from the elite collection, Candice Lurray. It's her first figure in the line. and I saw it and I love Kansas Lorraine. I loved her before she was in NXT
Starting point is 00:10:00 and all that, all the indie stuff she did. And that was like hardcore, getting beat up by dudes and get kicked in the face and bloody and everything. Now, because I remember seeing videos, I was like, who was this little blonde girl? And then I really started watching and that's when I went,
Starting point is 00:10:18 oh, that's Candace Loray. And then so she ain't doing what she was doing in the Indies on NXT and everything. So, but I still. love her about that about to have a baby now yeah so I I saw this and I was like all right they just put all the new figures out at Walmart so I said well if I don't get it now I'm not gonna get it I'll never probably never see it again so I grabbed it and I think the last two other figures I got a real Ripley one
Starting point is 00:10:45 also in the elite collection I'm glad I grabbed this one because I never saw it again and the AEW my first AEW one I got was um uh Darby Allen I saw that and his guy is skateboard and everything so I was like oh cool so I need to grab his shirt yeah oh and um uh Sarah Logan she is no longer in the WWE she's also a new mom her and eric row in their uh their kids getting huge and I could never find her figure any anywhere. So I just went to trust you old eBay and found it. And it was only 12 bucks. So it can't beat that. And the last one I got was, I wasn't a huge fan of Bray Wyatt, but I did like The Fiend. I liked how he looked with his mask and everything. And I wasn't sure if they yanked all of his stuff. I mean, figure wise. So I saw this and I was like, well, I'm everybody to get it because I wasn't sure.
Starting point is 00:11:53 if they stopped selling it. I know was the thing his idea or Vince's? His. Okay. So, well, hopefully he's still getting paid for this because it was the first time I had seen that one, too. So I said,
Starting point is 00:12:06 well, I'm going to grab it because I wasn't sure if it's going to, they weren't going to have anymore. I'm still kicking myself on Mr. Ruby riots, but I'll eventually find it somewhere. What did you think of this whole thing? I think,
Starting point is 00:12:22 honestly, if I really think back to it, I think this might have been my, with the exception of a couple of matches, probably the one I was probably the most entertained with. Yeah. Like I said, I was surprised that there was a hell in the cell. I thought that was a good match.
Starting point is 00:12:38 I like that they brought their, well, they kind of have been having a king of ring, but not like they used to, like when we was younger. Yeah. I think it's been long overdue. They did the,
Starting point is 00:12:48 what was it, Queen's Crown? should have that idea should have been they should have been done that of course good to see the bloodline I want one of your shirts was it just me or did did Brock look bigger for this uh I remember a summer slam I was going what happened him he looked small but uh he might have he might have pumped up for that I don't like that my friend called it his genie hair
Starting point is 00:13:26 do you know what it's growing on me that in the beard it's a it's a different look for I don't mind the beard but that little
Starting point is 00:13:35 ponytail or whatever that's on the top of his head I was like oh man cut that shit maybe he can't grow hair on the sides and back just just on top
Starting point is 00:13:47 but it looks dumb man just cut it I mean it knocked me out if you heard me saying this but yeah i've heard he's he's not a nice guy to approach to ask for autograph no if i saw him i just walk the other direction now he just seems like it because i met his brother and his brother's big and uh i was like oh hey he what's up and i just kept going have you uh have you seen his daughter huh she just got us i think it's uh i think he
Starting point is 00:14:17 went to university of minnesota i think she got a scholarship there to wrestle she looked like him no but apparently she inherited his uh his wrestling skills his ponytail
Starting point is 00:14:31 she does have a ponytail but it's not like his and before we get it to this matches you got anything to say about your boy uh cori graves and his
Starting point is 00:14:43 a deck of cards jacket I guess he had on I hate him was he drunk I don't know he was like stammering saying stuff and it's probably hot from the heat the lights on them and then wearing
Starting point is 00:14:59 all that shit but I don't know but again we didn't watch the uh the kickoff show with the Uso's and uh taking on the hurt business but uh the Uso's ended up uh winning via pinfall CBS sports graded it to be I don't know I didn't see any of it I didn't see any of it
Starting point is 00:15:20 I didn't even see any, like, replays throughout the whole, the regular pay-per-view. So I don't know. Eventually, I'll get to it. I'm on Bleacher Report. They also gave it a B. So it sounds like it was a good match to go back and watch it. Yeah. The first match was the Hell and a Cell match.
Starting point is 00:15:42 All right, really quick. Hell and a Cell. We'll never get Undertaker Mankind ever again. No. And to me, I think that set the bar so high. I mean, there's been some hell of some matches that were like, oh, yeah, cool. But to me, it seems wasted. I mean, they get slammed into the sides when they're on the outside of the ring or if they get thrown.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I mean, Seth flew out the ring and crashed into a head first. But they don't like climb to the top or anymore or anything like that. I think the last thing I saw something like that was when what's his name climbed up to the top at WrestleMania Shane Yeah And like blew out everything
Starting point is 00:16:33 That was inside He did it again when he tried to do it to Kevin Owens But that's Shane I mean he's the money So But yeah I just don't think they do what they could.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I mean, I'm sure Seth could because I remember he used to be flying all over the place. But Edge, I love him to death, and it's good to see him in there. I don't know how much longer he's going to go. But I know this was supposed to be like the third time. The first time is when they were battling
Starting point is 00:17:09 at Summer Slam. I was glad I was there when Edge won. And then they went to Madison Square Garden in New York. And Seth jacked up Edge. made him leaving a stretcher they had the thing around his neck
Starting point is 00:17:24 and uh and that was on Smackdown and then this was supposed to be the third and final uh match for them because I guess they said oh it's the seven years in the making or something stupid
Starting point is 00:17:38 like I don't know uh yeah it did start way back long ago before I mean before Edge actually made his comeback so oh excuse me but again I mean
Starting point is 00:17:53 they do what they do yeah it's a no-holds bar you bring everything in the kitchen sink and beat your opponent up but it's like I'm every year we get hell in a cell match and I don't even remember the last one that like
Starting point is 00:18:10 I was I was excited for yeah so I think elimination chamber they they go harder yeah I think it's time to retire the hell in the cell. Build a new cell and call it something else and not have a whole pay-per-view called it. You know, make it something special, something like this would have been more special if, you know, we haven't gotten hell in the cell paper views or hell in the cell.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I think we had a hell in the cell a month ago on Raw. Yeah. So if it was like less used, this would have been even more. or especially if they would have just sprung it on, well, they can't spring it on the audience because they can see it hanging above the ring, but I don't know. I mean, I think the last one that was,
Starting point is 00:19:02 it was kind of stupid, but it was a little exciting when Randy Orden and, Jenda Mahal had that, uh, that was a Punjabi death match or whatever that, whatever they called it when they had the bamboo. cage around them. At least they were climbing up and down on it.
Starting point is 00:19:26 It was stupid, but, and you could hardly see through, because some of the bamboo was too thick, but. What was it called? The Pajabi prison match. Yeah. Shout out to the great colleague. Yeah. It was what it was, but they never did it again. But, um, besides the actual cell, I thought these two,
Starting point is 00:19:51 went hell of hard in there. I mean, there was times where it looked like Edge, he was, he was huffing and puffing. And, uh, I, I still cringe every time he gets slammed or gets,
Starting point is 00:20:05 just hit in the neck and all that, because Rollins was going for it. He was beating the hell out of them. I did love when they were climbing up the, the ladder. And then, uh, um,
Starting point is 00:20:16 Edge was trying to power bomb Rollins through the table. But, uh, Rollins reversed it on him and he almost messed up because when he did that flip over the top of the ladder he looks like his heels like
Starting point is 00:20:30 just right to the bottom of that table but he made it and then slammed edge to it so I thought that was pretty cool and them just getting beating up with everything and I was when Rollins put that chain
Starting point is 00:20:46 around his foot and then super kicked edge I was it didn't look like he connected until they showed the slow-mo. Yeah, you can see that he bent his leg and didn't give him full force, but it connected.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Because it was his face. He caught a little cut because you can see the blood. But overall, man, I thought it was a really good match. I was hyped. And then the crowd was getting really hyped during all this. I did like how
Starting point is 00:21:18 uh, Rollins was about to, um, curb stomp edge and then edge jumped up really quick and pulled out that chair. And then Rollins came down and got him in the balls. And it didn't even look like it connected, but he,
Starting point is 00:21:32 ah, fell over and all that. They were like doing each other's moves on each other. So I thought that was, that was cool because, uh, uh, the edge ended up pulling it out of the end by curb stomping.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Seth Rounds onto the chair. So I thought that was the whole thing was really good. It was entertaining. But again, I cringe every time Edge has a match. What do you think of this one? Best match of the night. I thought they went hard. Like you said, I'm there with you.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Like Edge was going hard in this. He was taking bumps. He was going through tables. And I was just kind of like, be careful, watch itself. But I think they told their story, and I think it's time for them to move on. And, yeah, I don't know where Edge goes from here, because I don't know how much time he's got left wrestling and how much time he's going to be wrestling for WW. Because I just, I read a story where if they wouldn't have cleared him to wrestle, he was going to go to AEW.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Oh, I'd have been all right that with that. but um i mean still can that would be awesome but you can't nothing to prove man you've proved it you've been king of the ring you won rest you do how many belts tag team belts everything i'm like ah mon must can reunite with christian i feel sorry for christian man i'm like come on man even when he gets in the ring i'm like ha ha that would be awesome I was happy that he did come back
Starting point is 00:23:24 during the Royal Rumble the one when it was in the studios that was cool but yeah they graded this CBS Sports graded this match in A minus and yeah I would say
Starting point is 00:23:41 it was pretty much the best match of the night Bleach Report gave it an A All right on to the next one Mansour taking on Mustafa Ali I'm not much of a Mansour fan Mustafa Ali I really love what he's all about But I was like
Starting point is 00:24:02 All right I already know who's gonna win They didn't even need to have this match But it was still cool I thought they both weren't really hard And I love how they flip and fly all over the ring and everything But This is Mansour He's the hometown hero
Starting point is 00:24:18 So of course Of course he was going to win. They weren't going to let him lose. I like his finisher. Yeah. Well, uh, kind of flings himself up over the top rope into a neckbreaker. I liked when, uh, Mustafa Ali came out. There was a couple of cheers, but it was, it was mainly booze you heard when he came out. And they said it was the first time in WWE, uh, two. Muslim wrestlers faced off with each other
Starting point is 00:24:53 Well that was good I mean everyone Everyone loved it So that was cool I mean Plus having Monsour Do it And
Starting point is 00:25:05 Because the Was it the last one he won Yeah I think he's won everyone Yeah I was gonna say The very first one they had there It was crowned Jewel and then they did
Starting point is 00:25:24 the greatest Royal Rumble so they didn't let him speak this time because the last time when he won the greatest World Rumble and he won
Starting point is 00:25:36 whatever match he had at the first crown jewel because they gave him the mic and everybody was ah everybody was hyped because he was speaking in English and then he spoke and excuse me
Starting point is 00:25:50 in his native language so I thought that was awesome. And I loved how he just ran and dove into the crowd. He ain't doing that anymore. Here, seeing punk got in trouble for doing that. So, but yeah, I mean, overall, I thought the match was really good. I mean, I just love when these guys fly all over the place. And there was some mess ups.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I mean, not every match can be mess-up free. but CBS Sports graded it is C. I thought it was at least a B. Yeah, I got it here on Bleacher Report as a B. And I thought that the end was a pretty good moment, too, where they brought out the dude that won the silver medal for karate. I didn't even know who that guy was until they said. Yeah, I didn't know who he was.
Starting point is 00:26:43 And then he took off the, I don't know what it's called. And he took his face covering off. And the crowd like just erupted. And I was like, I still don't know who this guy is. And then they said his name. And then they were like the guy that won the silver medal by knockout. And I was like, oh, I, okay, I've seen that. Because I believe the same way he kicked Mustafa Ali's the same way he knocked that guy out and won the silver medal.
Starting point is 00:27:12 good job on the camera guy because you could clearly see he missed but but he had perfect form with that kick I wouldn't want to get kicked with that kick because he's quick too yeah it was it was he was hella fast because when he came out I thought they were going to introduce a new a new wrestler because I was like well who is this dude because his music was like this guy he got regular shoes on I was like who is this because he came out and his gie and his um the the rapping around i don't know what they call it the rap he had it around his uh his head you know just his eyes showing
Starting point is 00:27:53 and then when he got in the ring is when he took it off and yeah that crowd ah everybody went nuts and i still don't know who you are but they said it and i was like i don't know but um it was cool i was glad that uh they did something like that to give him just some more crowd service and everything. But I thought it was really
Starting point is 00:28:19 cool. I liked what they did at the end. And Mustafa Ali, he did sell that kick, though, because he threw his head back right as he's his foot like he could see. It was like on the side of his head.
Starting point is 00:28:36 But I thought it was really cool. I mean, especially the little kids. They were hyped when they saw who that guy was. So I was like, all right. I mean, that was good enough for me. But it was a good match. Again, I would have graded it to be. It wasn't a C.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah, I think, I think Monster's getting better every time we see him. Yeah. I liked it when he had longer here. I didn't like this businessman cut he had or whatever. And well, I know he's been doing the stuff that
Starting point is 00:29:07 what's his name, Titus O'Neill. does. Yeah, like the bullying stuff and the little charity stuff. So I don't know why that, if that's why he cut his hair. But I know I've been seeing him do a lot of stuff with Titus. I thought that was cool, too, because when they did, during one of the commercial breaks when they were talking about the charity that they did for bullying and going to the schools and everything. I love when they do that.
Starting point is 00:29:33 I mean, it's cool that the WWE does this, especially when they go to other countries. And Titus is one of the ambassadors to go and speak all that because Natty was there. And where has she been? She had hurt her leg. Okay. I know that I know that's why her and Tamina had dropped those titles. Yeah. Because she had like hurt her leg on Smackdown or something.
Starting point is 00:30:01 So I want her to come back and get a long title run. I mean, yeah, they gave her the title, but then like took it away. and nobody knew. So. Yeah, she's, she needs a manager. She needs to stop talking on a mic. I felt like she's corny.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Like when she's supposed to be a heel and she's all like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Like, stop. I mean, I love her,
Starting point is 00:30:26 but that reality show killed it for me. Oh, she was just so whiny and that show, I quit watching Total Divas because of it because seeing how they were. I mean, even the, the,
Starting point is 00:30:39 Bella one. Nikki, you're fine, but I couldn't be the one to have to handle that. That was not acting. I'm sure that's how she is. John Sina. Nick is that her? Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I can see why. They're not together. Bree, I thought she's an awesome. She had a good attitude and everything. And her and Daniel Bryan were like, or Brian Danielson were like perfect. Yeah, can't say that no more. They're trying to get everybody to stop doing the yes thing too.
Starting point is 00:31:17 But that's not going to happen. No, it's too late. That's that that's a totally different monster. I mean, he wants to join in so much too. But you'll see them, you'll see those arms go up and then he's like, wait a minute,
Starting point is 00:31:30 he can't do that no more. Yeah, because that first time when he came to AEW, you could see it and he wanted to when he was walking down the rap, but he just had that big smile like, yeah, okay, come on, but it's too late. He just got to be. You know, those WWA lawyers are waiting by the phone. It was like, you know what we just saw on TV.
Starting point is 00:31:55 He just got away. But they were doing the yes can here during the first match. Yeah. When they were hyping everyone up and everyone started doing the yes chant, that it's too late. That will never stop. So we just got to deal with it. I mean, be it A.W or W.E. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:18 The next one, it was okay. I didn't. How many times are we going to see this? I'm over it. The Raw tag team championship, R.K. Bro, Randy Orton. And he's Matt Riddle. He's not just Riddle.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I didn't, I didn't like the difference. in his name. Yeah, if somebody knows why they do that, let us know, because I just think it's the stupidest thing. Yeah, I mean, because what, Finn Baller was Baller or whatever for a while. Yeah, I don't get it. They became stars with their full name.
Starting point is 00:32:57 And then just, I don't, I don't know. Maybe I'm just getting old and I don't like change. I think what's his name? He's got a stupid name now. What's the big guy? that was on nxte oh um he's like the bear cat now or something yeah god damn what was his name it's gonna bug me somebody knows out there yeah someone somebody's yelling it what the hell was his name um he's been gone for so long yeah um it is keithley yeah
Starting point is 00:33:43 the bear cat now he's supposed to be a heel is he still station uh uh me a m or whatever the hell her name is now yeah i saw on instagram they he proposed to her all right good well what's her name now you got or a mask oh they dropped that whole thing oh they did finally yeah well the the two the two main guys that were in it they still go by the the whatever slapjack or I like slap jack or whatever
Starting point is 00:34:18 I like slap jack his his original name was kind of I think it was Dominic Dyjikovic I was kind of hard to say his mask is a little cheap looking but I like it but anyway
Starting point is 00:34:34 yeah so Archiebro took on AJ Styles AJ Styles and Omas they graded it a B minus give it a D it was like I mean
Starting point is 00:34:51 Omas he he does what he does Can he get a fourth move that he can do now or what I'm just like man I don't know I mean I'm scared for these big tall guys if they if they let them jump off the top
Starting point is 00:35:06 but I don't know what was he doing before all this do you know I think he was basketball player. Was he any good? I've never heard of him. And then he came to WWE and then he was always in
Starting point is 00:35:23 the background of stuff and then I know remember when they had that a shaman man had that fight club thing Omas was like the bouncer or something and now he's like former tag champ
Starting point is 00:35:39 and supposed to be scared of stuff he does in the ring. It's just pushing people and like hammer fisting them and then just yelling, oh, my house. You're not doing anything. You're not Roman Raines. Yeah, you come in for like two minutes. You let AJ do all the work.
Starting point is 00:36:00 And he doesn't even take bumps good. Like when he gets punched and he's supposed to be hurt, he clearly is not hurt. Dude, this guy's only 27. Damn, I thought he was older. His real name is I'm about to butcher this. To Lulope. I don't know. I think that's how he said.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Then Jordan. Oh, my God. Behan. I don't know. I totally said that wrong. But he's from Nigeria. Yeah. His other former ring name, Big Jordan,
Starting point is 00:36:40 giant name. Ninja, Jordan, whatever his last name is, and now he's omice. Oh, let's let's go with the giant ninja gimmick. I'd love to see that. Yeah, okay. He's seven foot three, 400 pounds. Ah, damn. I mean, he's big, but, um, yeah, giant ninja.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Yeah, bring that back. Um, I like when he's, shows up and but yeah, I mean, AJ does all the heavy lifting. He's just there. The crowd was pretty hyped when he gets tagged in
Starting point is 00:37:22 because I just love how he just steps in and stares at whoever because he was throwing riddle around all over the place. It was what Riddle in his little razor scooter. It's like his gimmick. He's
Starting point is 00:37:38 one of those fun dude bros or whatever and it's supposed to be the complete opposite of Randy you know Riddle coming on a scooter and you can see Randy's clearly like what the fuck is wrong with this guy
Starting point is 00:37:52 I love that when they came out and then he like went he like all right and then he went rolling to the back again so Randy started walking and then oh my God they
Starting point is 00:38:05 Riddle came riding and riding out on a camel I mean they did have camels there right by the stage but okay um brandy's not doing none of that no he he's he's he's above all that so when he came run down there on the the side of the ramp on that camel i was like oh my god what's happening here but okay but um god i wonder how much weed he smokes now yeah well he's that was like his thing like why he left the UFC.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Because of he, he's like a, you know, advocate for it. But do they let him? Because they were mad when RVD was doing it. That's what I wonder because he, he turned,
Starting point is 00:38:54 I mean, he wasn't making the money he is now in MMA, but he was so like, stand buying it that I was just always wondered, like, did he just completely stop when they started throwing them checks at him? Or does he do it on the side? I don't know
Starting point is 00:39:13 That was his gimmick with the no shoes So I'm gonna have to look For his MMAS Shit, he's older than Omar's he's 35 Yeah, so I remember the first time I've seen him He was on one of the seasons of the Ultimate Fighter That's how he Got to the UFC
Starting point is 00:39:35 Because one of my friends she loves Randy Orden and she's like Who is this first? fool his wisdom. And why are his eyes all red? And how high is this guy? I'm like, I don't know. Wear his shoes.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Yeah. I used to love when he would come in and the flip-flops and then kick him off. He doesn't do that no more? I haven't seen it in a while. Maybe he doesn't. I'm not paying attention anymore. But I don't know. Maybe Randy.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I like his, I like his music because that is a straight west coast. beat right there. This is completely laid back. When he comes out and everyone's, bro, bro, bro. Or even before, his music starts, bro. His ring names
Starting point is 00:40:28 have always been the same. He was Matt Riddle. And then I want Matthew Riddle. And now he's just Riddle. Now, he's Matt Riddle to me. See, that's probably why they change it to Riddle, because they probably just trademark riddle. uh yeah matt riddle was fine man he's the original bro i was like i don't know man zach rider was uh to me he was the original bro but all right whatever um but over yeah
Starting point is 00:40:56 overall the match was good i mean they they were doing what they were doing um i loved how uh uh j came off the top and uh uh randy caught him with the archa but man it was sloppy It did look as awesome. I think the move that I love the most with Randy are and when he does that power slam because it's so fast. But yeah, that that that that that our creole was it was a little sloppy. Randy don't come to Crown Jewel to try hard. No, man, he just went in.
Starting point is 00:41:28 The match didn't even go last very long. It didn't seem like they were in there for a few minutes. The next thing you know it was over with. Yeah. Riddle didn't even do the bro Derek. Like the bro, Derek. Yeah, I mean, they were just there. And Omar's just when he steps into the ring and just manhandles him and throws you around.
Starting point is 00:41:51 And that's it. I was like, yeah, he like screams at everybody and then looks at AJ. You got to come back in now. Yeah, I'm like, ah. But yeah, it was what it was. Again, they rated it to be minus. But, okay. The next one.
Starting point is 00:42:10 This is the one I had the problem with. Queens Crown Finals. Due drop. She is not due drop. Yeah, let's stop it now because that name was clearly given to her by what's her name to bully her. And now we're still sticking with it. Yeah, I was like, come on. I mean, that's to me, it just seemed like it was like just disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:42:38 But I understood why they were doing it. or make whatever and everything. But let's go back to Piper Niven. Yeah, I mean, that was fine. I mean, I like that. I mean, the first time I had seen her was the May Young Classic. And yeah, I like the bigger gals. So I was like, whoa, who is this?
Starting point is 00:42:57 So I had to look her up and watch some of her indie stuff. And she still does what she does. She is a big gal. I know Nyad Jackson's hurt. I'd like to see them battle it. up for a while. But then it was due job taking on Zelina Vega.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Why did they let her go? Budget. Budget cuts. And then they realized that neither they cut every female wrestler or they were hurt. So they had to bring her back. Plus, her husband went to AEW.
Starting point is 00:43:34 So they were like, okay, we got to put a stop to this somehow. Because she was um she was um she got like a week a week or two after she got a title shot she was doing her little side thing um
Starting point is 00:43:51 uh like Twitch yeah Twitch YouTube and I'm like probably probably do that money at her I'm like why couldn't why couldn't she do this? I mean it's not like she was selling anything
Starting point is 00:44:07 but I don't know but but um want to control everything you do yeah because i know they were saying and i know how true this is they're like if you got social media accounts you got to let us uh not be in charge of it but we need to be able to get in there don't they make them like change their twitter handle to let you know that they're in wwee or something like that yeah i mean everyone everyone that's let go i I mean, they all changed Instagram handles and, uh, Twitters and everything. I mean, they,
Starting point is 00:44:45 they, they, they, they, they, some, some people, some of them leave on,
Starting point is 00:44:52 uh, bad terms and the other ones are like, all right, man, still was an opportunity. I'm glad I had it. I have no heart's feelings, but,
Starting point is 00:45:00 uh, there's some of those, and how fuck that you know, yeah, yeah, finally about to see the debut of, uh, the inspiration.
Starting point is 00:45:08 formerly the iconics can't can't use that name no more no um they'll be debuting an impact uh tomorrow
Starting point is 00:45:22 I like what's her name what the hell's her name um the taller dark-haired one oh Billy Kay yeah uh Jessica McKay now yeah
Starting point is 00:45:36 Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee. They were pushing her for a while. It was goofy, but when she was trying to find her partner and everything, and yeah, they didn't know what they were doing when they split the mother. They just axed her. I mean, I thought they were good. I mean, they
Starting point is 00:45:52 had their WrestleMania moment a few back, so, but I don't know. They just, development doesn't know what they're doing. With them. But anyway, what did you think of this match? I thought it was
Starting point is 00:46:08 I love the outcome. I love the outcome. I thought it was a quick match. It was, you know, strength versus speed. Yeah, not a lot went on. You know, Zalina was trying to use her speed, and she was getting caught, you know, trying to jump off the rope and just all kinds of stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:30 And then it was a quick finish. I give it up to do drop, take that move, and make it look good. the little what was it a sunset flip into a power or power bomb
Starting point is 00:46:44 yeah that was I was I was like whoa I mean I like the mess for what or what I just didn't like the outcome because I'm all about Piper I'm all about Zelina
Starting point is 00:46:56 queen Zalina and they she she needs to go bull heel I'm talking about King Booker type heel just flaunting the crown and the cape and just everything. But I kind of feel like they'll mess this up too.
Starting point is 00:47:18 All right. Let's get into reality. Kimberly Benson, I love you. She's a dew drop. Piper Nevin, Viper, whatever you want to call her. She could easily manhandled her. But. not in the
Starting point is 00:47:38 WWE universe yeah it wasn't she was powerful by somebody that can't lift her I know it's like
Starting point is 00:47:46 not even half her size but I was like I knew she was going to win I knew they weren't going to give it to Piper so I was like ah
Starting point is 00:47:59 because when the buildup for this I was like all right I'm excited and we put I know how it was going to end and it was exactly the best thing that I
Starting point is 00:48:10 would hope even though she didn't win I feel like putting these two in the finals is telling me that they're going to try to push these two and I think these two need to be pushed because I feel like as far as the women's division we're seeing the same people
Starting point is 00:48:29 wrestle each other like over and over and we had gotten away from that in the women's division and then they started releasing people and then we went back to the same people so hopefully I would like to see a good face push for do drop change that name go back to Piper and a nice heel run for
Starting point is 00:48:48 Queens Alina I was waiting for the real queen to come out and take the crown or whatever I wouldn't be surprised at they this match is now a three way and then Charlotte's music hits and then she wins I wouldn't have been surprised.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Because, yeah, I thought when it was getting closer to the end, I was waiting for her music to either hit or her to come running out of nowhere and I'm the real queen. I don't know, all right, whatever. Let's talk about the cape. The constant malfunctions.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Yeah. She won, went up there and got her staff and her crown and she got the cape, tried to put it on, but couldn't. It looked like it was Velcro. I mean, it looked like it was made for somebody bigger than her. Yeah. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:49:45 Maybe it was for DoDrop and they changed it at the last minute. I don't know. But she, like, she couldn't do it. It fell off. And she just threw it over her shoulder and was like, yeah. There's a lot of problems getting it off the hangar too. Yeah. The next, the next Matt, King of the Ring.
Starting point is 00:50:03 match they should have had someone there to put the crown on her and put the the the cape on her yeah and have have the sceptor on something and presented to them yeah it was like they just walked up there grabbed it on yeah and put it on like nobody out there with yeah so that was it all right this next one yeah we got to talk about this one i knew where it was going to go but um It wasn't for any belts because Bobby lost it. The Almighty. But we could bring in the WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg taking on the Almighty Bobby Lashley
Starting point is 00:50:50 and a false count anywhere. In a match where he said, let him say this too, Bobby, I'm going to kill you. It's like, WWE, like you try to get away from this stuff and then you bring back someone like Goldberg and he's I will murder you did the goldberg look smaller he looked
Starting point is 00:51:15 more he looked smaller but he looked more in shape than he was for um the fuck was it when he was allegedly blew out his knee I don't know was that WrestleMania I think so when he was yeah yeah he looked like he was better shape for this one when he barely got tapped and then but like fell hell late. Yeah, his knee just completely was gone. He got hit. Like seconds later, he fell over. His knee was hurt, but yet he was holding his leg straight up in the air.
Starting point is 00:51:51 But I do love when Goldberg comes out how they knock on the door and bring him out. And he didn't do the standing in the sparks. They just let all the sparks go. And then he came walking out. But the thing that, bugs me. Excuse me. About these
Starting point is 00:52:10 entrances, entrances. I don't like the little CGI shit they add, only for the home viewers.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Was this the one where it looked like the crowd was being electrocuted? Does Bobby have like electricity or something
Starting point is 00:52:26 for his graphics? I must have missed that. I wasn't the intention. Yeah, it was weird because it just made it
Starting point is 00:52:33 look like the crowd was being electrocuted. So he had his like electricity shooting everywhere. So I think it was his.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah, I don't like the graphics. They seem like they're just in the way. Yeah, I mean, it was all right, maybe the first couple of times, but now they, like, do it all the time. And I'm like, uh, like half the screen. I don't like the Roman rains one when it's like his full body. I'm like, ah, just give me the, the, the two hours and that's it. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:05 I don't know. I came straight from the head of the tape. Yeah, or put that out there, the blood. I don't know. I don't know what they're doing. But anyway, these guys both went hard. These guys are two big brutes. Bobby Lash, I don't know how old he is, but he is from the old school days.
Starting point is 00:53:24 So, but I thought it was cool. I love how they manhandle each other around, but those jack cameras were pretty sloppy. I'm going for maybe we're too hot for because Bobby's like a hot guy like he's constantly sweating as well as as Goldberg and everything so but
Starting point is 00:53:48 they did what they did I did like 45 yeah and how old Goldberg if he's he's got to be 50 I know I'm not older than him Goldberg's got to be 60 I could be wrong
Starting point is 00:54:04 But But I mean Overall I liked what was going on In it I mean they They were a little sloppy With the moves and everything But they did what they did
Starting point is 00:54:16 The finishing thing at the end I don't know how that stage was But it looked like they dropped for a while Before they went crashing onto the cardboard boxes But I don't like I want to try that
Starting point is 00:54:30 I mean But I got I got to find a bunch of cardboard boxes before just throw myself off or something. But I liked how it ended. I thought it was really cool. I mean, it was Falls Count anywhere and all that. But overall, I enjoyed it and just put a smile on my face to see these two big guys going at it. CBS Sports graded it to be.
Starting point is 00:54:52 What did you think? Yeah, it was what it was. I wasn't real excited to see it. But I think it being an old holds bar match, even though they didn't incorporate a whole bunch of things, I think it's still made it a better match. And I did like the outcome, the spear off stage and to the tables. I thought that was a good finish. Yeah. I knew he was going to win because he's another one of these old school stars they like to see over there.
Starting point is 00:55:25 I mean, I falls count anywhere. usually when they're doing these, they take it out into the crowd. No, I can't do that no more. No, I know they did. When the last time they did that, Roman Raines had to put on a mask. People did not like that. I know Corey tried to fix it by saying he didn't want to breathe the same air as the common folk, but everybody knows why he put it on.
Starting point is 00:55:52 So. I did love how Paul Hamer. and handed it to him. I was like, what's he handing him? And then when he said he put it all, I'm like, hey,
Starting point is 00:56:05 better safe than sorry. I mean. Yeah, he has a background of health issues. Yeah. Let him protect himself. He was still that he was 54. Yes,
Starting point is 00:56:17 I knew I wasn't older than him. He's him way better shaped than me. But yeah, overall, it was what it was. Um, all right. On to the,
Starting point is 00:56:27 the king of the, ring finals uh fin baller i was hoping for um uh the demon i was waiting for that um but now we got that the last time so wait you just reminded me didn't okay we had the demon and that that stupid ass finish with roman yeah and are we supposed to just forget about all that now i guess didn't he hurt his leg yeah he did but it's when i supposed to remember that either. Nope. Well, it worked because I didn't remember.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Yeah. Yeah. I totally forgot about it. You brought it up. Yeah, Finn Ballard taking on Xavier Woods. Of course, Finn Baller goes hard. Xavier Woods, I'm glad that they're finally letting him shine a little more because for a while, he was heard for a while, but he's out there doing it.
Starting point is 00:57:24 I kind of see the new day at. At some point, not anytime soon, but I kind of see that they're getting ready to break that up. I'm going to call it right now with Xavier winning this, becoming a king. I kind of felt like they planted the seeds for a heel run because he was yelling at the camera. He was like, I'm the king now. And you cut, you cut camera. When I say you cut camera, and just, I was like, Are they, Xavier, you go on heel right now?
Starting point is 00:58:02 I, if he can do it, then he can do it. I don't know. And I know Big E can do it. Kofi, yeah. Coffey should never be a heel. No, I think he's too big of a face. I mean, it won't. It won't work.
Starting point is 00:58:20 But they didn't think Bailey could do it. And I think. I don't think she did it. I loved it. I still wanted to get. give her a hug. No, she got rid of the side pony and put on that black eye eyeliner, which I love. So, got rid of the wrestling outfits and put on some skinny jeans or whatever. I was like, she's, she's evil now. I do like her little talk show thing that she does.
Starting point is 00:58:51 I always bought her new figure, but I didn't like the, um, the sculpt of her face that they didn't, they didn't make her her makeup look good but anyway um yeah king of the ring finals fin baller taking on Xavier Woods both of these guys went hell hard
Starting point is 00:59:10 uh flying off the top of the ropes and all that and but there was no uh unless I'm just forgetting did uh Finn ballad do the the coop de grare or whatever they call that shit I think he went for it and had to do you know where he
Starting point is 00:59:27 bails out and lands and does the little roll yeah i think that's about as close because i know he did do a regular double footstop on to xavier but he was just flat on the ring um but xavier man he he does it man he flies all over the place too um so i was happy and i think out of the new day he's the one that that i like i met him once he was really cool and uh well all three of them were cool but he I just liked to him when they brought him in um is his a trombone still lucille or is it something to yeah because remember the other one got crushed so you know that that means it means it died so um it was cool and I love when when all three of them are doing he did so it still said new day on his ring ring gear but um I thought this match was
Starting point is 01:00:23 really good. It was one that I was excited for mainly. I love Finn Baller, but mainly for Xavier Woods. I was leaning more towards Finn. I thought they were just going to let him win because they were saying, yeah, he was the very first universal champion, which he only had for not even 24 hours, and then he had to give it up. But again, I thought this was a really good match. I mean, I love both of these performers, and they both pulled it out. CBS Sports gave it. it a B. What did you think of this one? I agree with you. I thought this was a great match. I definitely enjoyed the outcome. That's who I was pulling for.
Starting point is 01:01:05 And I'm going to call it right now. Xavier is going to be WWE champion in the next three years. I don't know if he's going to be a heel or face, but he's going to have that belt at least once. And I think this is a great way to kind of push him towards that. And Bleach Report gave it a B plus. All right. On to the WWE Championship Biggie, who's the champ now taking on former champ, Drew McIntyre.
Starting point is 01:01:39 I kind of thought that Drew was going to win. But then I'm thinking nobody's going to drop any titles over there. Especially when they get drafted to the other promotion. Yeah. So. Oh, he's like, all right. Yeah, nothing's good. Oh, excuse me.
Starting point is 01:02:00 I mean, no, I just said flat out before it started. Like, nobody's going to lose their belts tonight. Because they kept saying, oh, yeah, there's all these title matches. Who's going to go home to new champs or who's going to remain the champ? I was like, no one's going to lose. Yeah. If they didn't lose, if they didn't just flat out the champs now didn't just flat out win, something was going to happen that prevents a,
Starting point is 01:02:28 disqualification or interference or whatever and they'll still be champ but this one they they went hard I mean big he's he's a big big buff dude and drew McIntyre is like tall so but um I remember I was watching some old stuff on YouTube of McIntyre I think he looks better now he he's a lot more cut and he's the the beard and goatee and all that he I think that just made him look more rough and tough. You know, like when he was younger and he was skinny and kind of pale. What did they call him the chosen one?
Starting point is 01:03:10 I mean, don't get me wrong. I love the 3MB, but I don't think that would ever happen again. I mean, Drew McIntyre is like a little more serious. And I think when they did that, it was more just, we got to give you something to do we're safe thing with Jender Moll but I'm glad they both came back and they both are like in probably the best shape
Starting point is 01:03:37 they've ever been in and I thought I think they both perform well and Jenda Mahal I was glad that he got his title run for a while as well as Drew McIntyre they both deserved it they did the time so I was happy that they gave it to him but yeah Jinder got a good story
Starting point is 01:03:56 before he came back I guess he was going to quit wrestling and buy like a subway franchise and that was going to be his life. Yeah, he goes just saying he just like dove into depression and just drank and said he was getting all fat and then he was just woe as me and then he snapped out of it. He said, you know what fuck this? I could drink and quit eating all the crap and just hit the gym hard. And then when they had the retryouts or whatever, and he showed up.
Starting point is 01:04:29 He was like, yeah, because I can't remember who told him. Because I know he went to the training center, he said. And they were like, dude, just stop what you're doing and train and train and get yourself back into shape. I guarantee you they'll take you back. So that's what he did. And I thought it was cool when he did come back. But with this match, I mean, Big E, he, he,
Starting point is 01:04:53 he he does what he does um i'm glad he doesn't do that thing when he's licking his lips and his tongue moving around his mouth anymore i hated that it had that big zit on his face for the longest i'm like how do you not see that when you look in the mirror every day pop that shit but anyway um so but um yeah man these guys went hard i mean they had cbs sports graded it a b plus and i'm okay with that. Biggie ended up, he did pull it out. He did defeat McIntyre via pinfall. And he's still, he's still the champ. Again, I just knew he wasn't going to lose. But they both did an awesome job. I still, I mean, I love Drew McIntyre when he does his claim worse. Because sometimes he doesn't sound good. And sometimes he's like, I know he takes full contact with these guys. But I'm sure
Starting point is 01:05:50 when he's dealing with the other performers, he probably tells him, look, I can pull it back, and maybe some guys, nah, just giving me full on and they'll just sell it. So I like both of these guys. What did you think of this one?
Starting point is 01:06:06 Solid, solid match. They both went hard. I like, I think they told the good story throughout the match that it, you know, it took two big endings from Big E, finish it, you know, it wasn't just
Starting point is 01:06:22 hit the move and then it was over. You know, he also got hit with a Claim War and a Future Shock DDT from McIntyre. So they were going back and forth. They were selling it for me. But yeah, with McIntyre getting drafted to the Smackdown,
Starting point is 01:06:38 I knew he wasn't going to win and take the raw title over there. So decent match though. Yep. All right. This is the one I was excited for. I wonder why.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Smackdown Women's Championship. Becky Lynch is the champ, which she shouldn't have been. She just robbed it from. She still looks rusty to me. Yeah, Bianca Bel Air. And the boss, it was boss time. Sasha Banks. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:07:13 We kind of mentioned that the women had to cover up. And they made. make them these custom shirts because when Dew Drop and Selena were out there fighting, or Zelina was out there fighting, they had full body suits on all the way down to the wrists, and then they had to put a shirt, a t-shirt over that, big t-shirts over that because they had to be loose. And that's what all three of these ladies did. They had the little super-duper tight skin body tight things and then put on big giant t-shirts. Becky looks tiny now.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Yeah, well, she just spit out a kid. But I'm glad she's back. That's what I was wondering. Who's watching a kid? Did they bring the kid over there and someone's watching them in the back? Or were they doing the end off? Seth Rowland does his match. Then he's got to hurry out and get to the back.
Starting point is 01:08:09 And then they trade. You got to jump in the shower and clean off all the sweat. And then, all right, here you go. I'm sure both of them have their. own or their own room to dress and get ready as well as the baby. Yeah, they're probably bring a nanny or something if they bring the baby. Yeah. But of course, my girl, the boss, Sasha Banks.
Starting point is 01:08:39 I wanted her to win. I wanted her to leave with that belt again. But I thought it was a good match, man. These three, other than they go hard no matter what, even if it's raw. Smackdown or whatever they're on, they went hell hard on this one. But we don't
Starting point is 01:08:57 expect anything else. I mean, they always go hard. And, uh, yes, you're not the best. You're not the best at everything. You're not the toughest. You're not the rough. It. I love her. Don't get me
Starting point is 01:09:14 wrong, but I'm just like, uh. Well, that's just like I could say somebody is not the boss of everything. She is the boss. She is not. You don't give yourself the boss if you went to the boss. She wasn't even a main character on the Mandalorian. She was side character.
Starting point is 01:09:28 She's the boss even then. She's side boss at best. She only had like two or three lines in the whole thing. Well, they'd know if they would have gave her more, or would have just messed up the show. I wanted her to do some wrestling moves. She kind of did when they were fighting and everything. but she didn't do no bank statements or anything in this.
Starting point is 01:09:54 I mean, how big is she? She just looks like super small. That's what I'm saying. She's tiny, but Becky seems like she's smaller, the smallest one now. She's a mom now. Yeah, but she had to go super, super lean. But Bianca Bellar. I don't want her to go Charlotte route because I feel like Charlotte's too muscular.
Starting point is 01:10:18 I still take it. But Bianca Belair, I mean, I'll give it to her. I love her to death. But man, she's got the strength. I'll give her that. So you're saying she's the strongestest. Yeah, I'll give her that. Because she like one-handed Sasha.
Starting point is 01:10:38 I was like, yeah, that was awesome. Picked her up. I mean, didn't just like just do it really quick. She like held her there for a while and then just slammed her. face first on another another part she was about to suplex Becky
Starting point is 01:10:54 and she was kind of losing it and just completely had just had to muscle her all the way up without because she was about to put her back down but then just kind of stop halfway
Starting point is 01:11:04 and then picked her up and then suplexed her yeah I mean she picked she had both of them she picked up both of them um I don't know how much Sasha Banks where she can't weigh more
Starting point is 01:11:17 than Bucco 5. I don't know. Yeah. Who would you say she weighs? As the most 110? Yeah, she's she's, she's, she's, what, she's
Starting point is 01:11:32 5-5 and let's see how much it says how much she weighs. No, it doesn't say. But even still, she's short. So, Mercedes.
Starting point is 01:11:47 you're Sasha Banks I mean that's all she is I don't like her new song with Snoop in it yeah that's her cousin and everything but gotta have a cousin on there no
Starting point is 01:12:01 brandy as well I don't even know where brandy is but dad's Dillinger please um hey he's family too ah
Starting point is 01:12:14 but um um I love the blue hair. I thought that was awesome when she came back. I loved how she looked at WrestleMania with the blue and the green hair. I thought that was awesome.
Starting point is 01:12:28 But again, this match, I mean, for some reason, I thought Bianca Bel Air was going to get it back the way she was handling both of them. She was throwing them all over the ring. And as well, I mean, Becky Lynch, she goes, she's still the man. She's still. hard as fuck
Starting point is 01:12:47 and Sasha I mean she does what she does 121 damn that's all because they both go hard because you can see it because they're all pretty and makeup's all nice and hairs all fixed because by the end of the match they're just all
Starting point is 01:13:04 hair all crazy makeup all messed up sometime beyond because the eyelashes fall off but but man they they went hard in this. I would have gave this an A. CBS gave it a B. Of course, like I said, no one was going to drop their titles.
Starting point is 01:13:24 Yeah. Becky ended up pulling it out again. I would have gave it a B plus. And the only reason it doesn't get an A, because I still think Becky's a little rusty in there. I do like the heel thing. What is it? What is her thing she goes by?
Starting point is 01:13:44 we flashed it on the screen. Oh, I don't remember. Oh, big time Bex or something. You're the man. Just leave that. That's fine. From here on now, the rest of your career, just, just be the man. I do want those shirts.
Starting point is 01:13:59 I like her new move set, like the stuff she's added. But it's just, it just looks like she's not, like, real fluid with it. You know what I mean? Like, they don't run smoothly. Yeah. And I don't, I don't know if. I know, I definitely know she was training before she came back, but I would have liked her in some matches. Kind of like how, how CM Punk's doing it right now.
Starting point is 01:14:23 You know, he just not immediate title shot, you know, his first match. You know, he's kind of working out the rust and all that. So that's what I wish. That's why that's why it doesn't get an A for me. And according to the site, in case you want to know, Sasha, thanks, where's a size 33C, bra? I don't care, man. She's the boss in my eyes. Keep those rings on.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Yeah, this site has a little too much information about Sasha. All right. On to the next match. Like I said, of course, Becky ended up pulling it out. Big time, Bex. She's the man or the mom or whatever you want to call her. But all right, universal championship match. This was the main event.
Starting point is 01:15:17 Roman Raines, taking on Brock, Lesnar. My son came walking in to get some breakfast and he was, or lunch by the time these guys were on. And he was when, they're still fighting? Because my son was much younger when we went to WrestleMania at that bitch ass 49th stadium when Seth, well, first it was Roman and Brock battling. it out and then Seth's dumb ass came out and stole it stole the belt money cashed in the money in the bank yeah did did you hear the story about how a roman's family that was there was like flipping tables and just tearing shit up because they they told this that was his going to be his big night to be the champ and so like all his family came and then i guess vince or whoever like did a last
Starting point is 01:16:06 minute change and the family did not they did not take that well Well, you don't piss off some moments, first of all. So, I'm surprised they didn't go chasing after him. But that's funny. You sound like they're still fighting. Yeah. They tried to build this as the match years in the making. And I was like, I'll wrestle a few matches.
Starting point is 01:16:32 That was the last live show that he had went to. He watches it every now and then. He wants to go to WrestleMania when I go. But does he acknowledge Roman? he's yeah he he's he's he's got his seat at the table okay he was he hates brock lesnar and he hates set around he's he got to acknowledge the tribal chief the what was his new nickname the the suplex exorcist or something
Starting point is 01:17:00 stupid cori tried to say oh my god oh because they did that dumb the Halloween stuff or whatever and i was like what's happening in here? Like the suplexer-sistercest or something else. Yeah, some stupid like that. So you're telling me he's going to stop all of Brock's suplexes because you can't have that name and get suplexed like 10 times. He didn't get it 10 times.
Starting point is 01:17:32 And I noticed nobody was counting them anymore. But the story right now with them, too, it's not about them anymore. They turned it into the Paul Heyman. Who is Paul Heyman loyalty? Loyal to. I like that angle. Yeah, I do too because if you guys know Paul Heyman, I mean, we don't. Is he for Brock Lesnar?
Starting point is 01:17:55 Is he still bowing down to the tribal chief? I kind of believe Brock Lesnar because the buildup for all of this. And when they were doing the, when they were signing the contract for this, for this event. he was like yeah I already I didn't because Roman was like I'm gonna you're dumbass
Starting point is 01:18:17 how can you're not reading it because I already read it this morning with my my council Paul Heyman and then that's when they're all looking at that and watching all that
Starting point is 01:18:29 and this stuff I was kind of like oh really but when it came down go ahead I was going to say even like when they were interviewing Paul he was like
Starting point is 01:18:37 I'm going to walk to the ring with the tribal chief to the smackdown champion. But when he said, I'm going to walk back to the locker room with the champion. He didn't say like tribal chief or anybody. He just said the champ. Yeah. So he's shady. He goes with whoever is the flavor of the month. So he's going to bounce back. He'll bounce back to Brock Lesnar and then Lesnar will be gone again. And then he'll come crying to Roman. I don't know. That's what I'm seen. But again, this is what nothing new.
Starting point is 01:19:15 We haven't seen F-5s, Superman punches, spears. Not as many F-5s and not as many German suplexes. I mean, they did do them, but it wasn't much. And I've always said this. These two big guys only have a handful of moves that they do
Starting point is 01:19:37 over and over and over. So, but I mean, I liked it. It was enjoyable, but I think when my son came in there and laughed, these guys still fighting. This is the longest feud ever. Yeah, because he was, I don't even think he was 10 years old yet when we went. He's 16 now.
Starting point is 01:19:57 So that was quite a long time ago. Fighting each other for over seven years. Yeah, he was kind of like, wait, what? And he, like I said, he ain't watched wrestling in a long time. I had to find so long Brock's hair grew Yeah, because that's what he said He was like, what's on his head?
Starting point is 01:20:17 I said, that's his hair. And he went, why? I don't know. What'd you think of this one? It was like you said, it's nothing we haven't seen before. They came in, did what they each needed to do. The biggest thing, like, again, like you said,
Starting point is 01:20:38 was the Paul Heyman angle. I like when he, he threw the belt in there, but you didn't know who he was throwing the belt in there, too. And then I like, I always like when the bloodline comes out. I had to give a double super kick to Brock. I think he,
Starting point is 01:20:55 he was throwing it to Brock. Because he was like, he threw it in and it goes, just do what you got to do. And Roman Raines isn't known for hitting anyone with the belt and cheating. He did tonight. Yeah. So I did like, it always goes back to that match with Eddie Guerrero and Brock Lesnar.
Starting point is 01:21:22 When he hits an idiot him with the face, hit him in the face with it. And then the hell's that move he did. Basically a DDT. And Brock Lesnar's head it, hit it head face first, and then one, two, three, and he won. I love watching that. match it was a hard match and it was awesome because it took place in the Bay Area in San Francisco at the Cal Palace and I loved how Eddie dove into the crowd after he won. It's sad still when I watch old Eddie Guerrero matches and but I do love that how
Starting point is 01:21:58 they a lot of people still they still respect Eddie. Oh yeah. He did in the ring. Going back to Sasha when she did the three amigos, you know, you just heard that that that Eddie chat was loud. Yeah, everyone. She's got to do the shimmy after, too. She can't just do the three amigos or something. She's got to do something.
Starting point is 01:22:23 Yeah, so, I mean, I like that. And yeah, when the crowd all started chanting Eddie, I was like, ah, made me touch my heart. I almost put a tear in my eyes. So the boss, I love you. Anyway, but. You're okay. Again, with this one, it wasn't about,
Starting point is 01:22:41 these two, it was about Paul Heyman. You wanted to see where his allegiance was. Because when he, yeah, when he threw that title him and he was like, because they were both laying there and he just threw in the middle of him. It was like, do
Starting point is 01:22:56 what you got to do. Or no, he says, you know what to do with it as he threw it in. And then they both kind of were wrestling around with it. I still think they did it right, though. because he didn't slide it to Brock.
Starting point is 01:23:13 He slid it in between, like perfectly in between them. What's his name? The ref, man. You knew something was going to happen because he was hella close to them. Well, when he got knocked out, I was laughing. I was waiting for it. I was like, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute. He's too close.
Starting point is 01:23:32 And he got hit. And they bought everybody fell over. And that was it for him. Because he was knocked out for the rest of the match. Because he never came back. Yeah, he just rolled out of the ring. Because Brock pinned Roman Raines. The crowd counted the one, two, three.
Starting point is 01:23:53 It probably got up to five. And Brock was looking around like, where the hell is the ref? And then that's when they got up and started beating the hell at each other. And then the bloodline, the Uso's came running in and interfered. Did they super kick him? Yeah, double super kick. Yeah. And then he went down and then Roman took over from there.
Starting point is 01:24:15 As he was pinning him, then I don't know where this ref came from. He came out of nowhere and just slid into the ring and did the one, two, three. Do you have to run down that ramp? I think so. That's a long run. I assume he had to have come running down the ring unless he was planted in the crowd, jumped over and slid in there. But he looked like that guy.
Starting point is 01:24:39 it looked like he came in full speed because he dove and slid into the ring and like right at the perfect time too it wasn't like he slid in the ring got up stood there for a second he's like soon as he slid and got up he started counting and then that was it but I thought it was a good ending
Starting point is 01:24:57 and again for me it was all about Paul Heyman this match the Usos will get down to it they they haven't trusted them from the beginning Because my son He saw the ending
Starting point is 01:25:11 So he was like All right cool He was happy And he was real happy When they were all standing At the top And with the Roman and the Uso's And I was telling him
Starting point is 01:25:21 I said yeah This is the bloodline now And he was like the what I said there There are a thing And Romans is the tribal chief Now speaking of tribal chief One of my friends asked me
Starting point is 01:25:31 He had messaged me He hadn't watched wrestling in a long time And he was like What's the what this is tribal chief shit. I'm like, I don't know. You got to bow to him.
Starting point is 01:25:43 And all this. He was like, man, I haven't watched wrestling in a while. He knew who Roman Reigns was, but that was one during the shield in the era. But he was like,
Starting point is 01:25:54 I don't know what the hell's going on. Yeah. He's going to be champion until he faces the rock. He was laughing. He was like, where's his vest? He goes,
Starting point is 01:26:06 he doesn't look right. doesn't need it no more no man I think he does I like that well it also there was also all this talk that they WW makes him wear the vest
Starting point is 01:26:18 to protect him and I think he wanted to lose the vest because he's tired of people talking about he was soft and being protected and I think he kind of wanted to
Starting point is 01:26:30 I don't like the glove glad it wasn't gold because I guess that was supposed to be the fucking Thanos thing, but like you're not Thanos. You can be the tribal chief, you're not Thanos. But yeah, after
Starting point is 01:26:46 you won, Brock was just laying in there in the ring, like all beat up. Like Paul's face. Like, what the fuck just happened? Yeah. I'm looking at a picture right now. Even when they were up at the top on the stage,
Starting point is 01:27:02 Paul's holding the title and just looking at him like what? because Roman did confront him. He was like, what the hell's going on? I mean, are you, who's your allegiance to? And he kept telling him, you, you, you, and all this. I was like, come on, man. But he kept looking back at the ring, like, oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:27:24 I fucked up. Yeah, but, I mean, but overall, I thought, I mean, it was cool. I mean, they did what they did. They gave Riyadh a good show and everybody was into it. So it didn't look like anybody left their mad. I mean, here in America, we're spoiled and we're all complaining. And now we've seen this before. But I always could think of when they do it over there.
Starting point is 01:27:55 It's for them. So they basically gave them their WrestleMania because it was four hours. I'm happy for the kids because they look like. they was having a blast. Yeah. They knew everybody that came out. They were chanting, getting loud, just, especially like the kids that were like, I think I even see Brock Lesnar high five a kid.
Starting point is 01:28:17 I could be wrong, but I think I seen him like did like a real quick little, little high five and then went back in the character. So I'm glad for them. I liked how they did. When they came out, they were slapping hands and everything. Oh, with the crap. So I think Roman did too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:39 I found the kid, but then I think he was like, acknowledge me. He probably said it. I did like after Edge 1 when he was all staggering around. He stopped a second and took pictures with some lucky guys and everything. So that was really cool. I'm glad they're not like, I'm sure they are working. worried like I
Starting point is 01:29:04 would be worried I these guys sick and I won't know then I don't want to bring it home to my kids but speaking of bringing home to his kids that that whole thing that was on Smackdown when Seth went to his
Starting point is 01:29:19 house and then Ed's got all worried and was calling Beth go to your brother's house yeah I was like oh Edge can act
Starting point is 01:29:31 he's been in movies fees and he's been on TV shows but that was funny though I was laughing I did not take that serious
Starting point is 01:29:42 well you can't take anything in unrestling serious I mean I know it's real I think he did he was like you left your door unlocked I know you live in the middle
Starting point is 01:29:54 of nowhere but no one does that but yeah overall I mean it was what it was I did like crowd jewel. I enjoyed it. And again, the whole crowd, they got what they wanted because everybody had big smiles
Starting point is 01:30:11 on their face. Everybody was hooting and hollering. Everybody was when they were doing the counts and if it didn't get to three there, ah! Everybody was into it. That's what I loved about this. And that's what I love when they go over there and do this for them.
Starting point is 01:30:30 They didn't know they couldn't do it last. Yeah, never mind. It's a stupid question because the world fell apart. But who knows, hopefully they'll do it again for them next year. I think they have like a contract with them. I'm sure they're paying them millions and millions of dollars. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:48 So I think we got Goldberg. So now it's time for The Undertaker to come back for a show. Heck you don't need to come back, man. Actor, give us another little WWE movie. even but don't don't Andre the giant him Vince because if you guys have seen that Andre the giant
Starting point is 01:31:14 documentary that shit was sad on what they did to him just kept throwing checks at him here here here and he took it and he was doing it the part in that documentary that brought me to tears is when Hulk Hogan was talking about
Starting point is 01:31:30 the match they had at WrestleMania 3 when Andre knew it was like he was just in pain for all the things that was happening all the health issues and he just said just pin me and I was like oh and even Hulk was surprised because I guess it was supposed to go on a little bit longer
Starting point is 01:31:51 but they went long enough it wasn't like the match was really short they did beat the hell out of each other I mean Andre he Hulk picked up Andre and like smashed all kind of discs and is back from picking him up. But that story the Hulk told on that Andre the Giant
Starting point is 01:32:08 documentary, oh man, that put me in tears. Because I did watch that live. I wasn't there, but when we did the close circuit TV things back in the day when I was a kid, I remember sitting there hooting and hollering. At that time, I was a little Hulkamaniac.
Starting point is 01:32:24 I still am. But I don't think Hulk can do anything anymore. Just come out, hype everyone up leave. Don't take care. How old is he? Is he pushing 60?
Starting point is 01:32:38 Yeah, he's got to be 60. I'm like, come on, man. Don't do this to him. Because every time he has a match, he just looks like he's just so winded.
Starting point is 01:32:56 Especially when they did it out there, like we said. He almost, he's 56. He's only, uh, six years older than me all right cool wrestling when he was a teenager I guess I feel like he's
Starting point is 01:33:10 I thought you were going to say he was like 67 or so I thought I thought he was in his 60s but all right well I'm here on Wikipedia Kane Kane the Undertaker Commando
Starting point is 01:33:23 Mark Callius or whatever the hell was his last name is mean Mark Callius Mean Mark Dice Morgan The master of pain, the punisher, Kane, the Undertaker. The first time he was Kane, the Undertaker, it was with a C.
Starting point is 01:33:40 And the last time it was with a K. And then he was Texas Red. Then he became the Undertaker. Damn, 610. I've never met the man, but damn, that's tall. So, but it says he retired November the last year. But shake that check in front of him. Come on, man.
Starting point is 01:34:00 You know, you can do it. where it says retired is there a question mark after you might as well man they shake that check in front of me he comes to running so uh yeah that's it everyone
Starting point is 01:34:15 that's uh 2021's uh crown I'll keep more to say crown royal crown jewel don't drink crown oil uh boys and girls that that shit I don't even know they make it anymore but that shit is mean
Starting point is 01:34:27 uh if you get the green apple one that's kind of kind of tasty I had it back in the day and oh no Beastie Boys was the reason for that as well as Brass Monkey for those of you that remember that
Starting point is 01:34:45 I don't think they make it anymore that was mean and nasty I love the song but that drink is no good but all right everyone that's going to be it this episode what's the next
Starting point is 01:35:01 next one do you know uh nxte holloween havoc oh yeah that's right which i am loving what they're doing with mandy rose this edgier kind of more serious kind of going a little little hard i think i think i read something about like her her inspiration is like the the ruthless aggression error all right i'm with that she got her little crew uh toxic attraction Uh, when is that one?

I just want to get back to New York. I mean, I love that city. So, but wanted to go to New York Comic, comma. That didn't happen.
Starting point is 01:36:05 this year. So who knows, maybe next year. Hopefully next year. Hopefully that we can get this thing under better control. But I don't know. The way people are acting, probably not. Yeah. I might leave my town because they just completely just
Starting point is 01:36:22 completely lost it up here. Now, they were losing it here in this town, but everyone kind of calmed down. But I don't know. We were at the bottom three. now we're like number one in the nation or something like that is it that bad up there now
Starting point is 01:36:41 yeah and they'll be having town meetings about mask mandates I'm like you don't need to have a eight day town meeting where you guys are yelling at each other and giving each other COVID and people are going to wear the mask
Starting point is 01:36:57 they're neither going to wear or they're not so I don't know why you got to gather a whole group of people and it's a lot of yelling and finger point and yeah all right it was probably like the longest wrestling returns we've done so we're going to bring it to a end yeah come back when we talk about a Halloween Havoc and then Survivor series next everyone that listened to our our ESP and wrestling
